A SAD CHAPTER THE RESULT OF
CHRITTMAs ENJOYMENT IN
zH (EORGIA.

THE Aillnta Daily Herald gives the foIs
lowing Chapter Of crimes and accidents
resulting from the enjoyment Of tho
Christmas holidays in that state:
'file news from. all parts Of the State
reveals more than the usual number or
casualties and distressing occurrences, the
result of the unusuaI license allowed at
that season. The Augusta papers contain
an account Ola dozen serious accidents.
A gentleman passing along secluded
street was shot at, four parties shot while
handling loaded firesrms, a white boys
nose split open by tin trumpet, anegro's
head slashed open with a knife from the
tar to the shoulder. An indecent assault
made upon . white sirl IA years Of age by
an unknown Eegro, a seven year old little
girl gbred by a COW that had beer worried
unto madness by fire-crackeis and mis-
cllievous boys, another little girls eye put
out by a ball fr0lna Roman candle; ioe~
sides several narrow escapes, one of which
was a ball striking tree against which a
young lady was reading, within few in
ches of her head.
Besides these, there We're two persons
killed outright; anegro boy stobbed To
death by white boy, and a white boy
shot through the head by negro boy.
From Fort Valley there Ii record Of an
awful death. A negro woman, named
Carrie Houser, while dancing, was shot
through the heal and instantly killed. A
party of boys had obtained some muskets,
when bther fireworks were exhausted,
and were marching round town firing OFT
salutes, Stopping before the house where
this dance was in progress, salute was

TIE WHIsKEy CURE.-A mtddle-aged,
well-clad man called at the Baltimore
city jail yesterday to inform tile warden
that he had not drunk a drop ofliquor
since he was discharged from the prison,

after Christmas for his witt to prove by
his appearance that I've had escaped the
temptation 10 imbibe eon Christmas day.
Tnis man, with another, who had been
regularly incarcerated for intoxicatiOn,
aud who were helisSett TO be 50 fond of
liquor as to he almost beyond hope ofre-
Formations, were subjected to the expert
ment of what is known in the German
army ~ the whisky cure.' DIR. Houck,
the Jail physician, selected the two men as
fit subjects, but this could only be done
with their full consent, and on subjects
who had been confined for terms long
enough to make a test. They were given
cell tu themselves, and for three weeks
all the food they ale was cooked in whis-
key aud all the fluids they drank were
mixed with the same liquor, the whiskey
being used without stint. This kind of
diet was relished forseveral days, but soon
became repulsiye, nausea ensucd, aud the
unassimilated food was elected Two or

National Republican., 1876-11-13

RELIABLE advices from South Carolina
inform us that the recent election was q
mere farce in many counties of that State.
At Robbins, on the Port Royal railroad, the
Ku- u-Klux fired into a crowd of Republicans,
seriously wounding two Of the election
managers and killing and wounding about
a dozen negroes. At Blackville, Rouse's
and other voting places the rebels openly
seized the polls and would not allow any
but Democrats to vote. They organized
bands of repeaters, who voted early and
often at allthe precincts within their reach.
1t is estimated that in this way they polled
nearly one thousand illegal votes in Barn
well county alone. During election-dsy
Barrwell county was q huge military
camp, ri1emen wearing red shirts riding to
and fro, cursing and threatening the ne
groes. In Edgefield county they behaved
even worse, aud in locality known as the
''dark corner" they seized the polls, drove
off the election managers, and tying an
election supervisor to tree, they admins
tered twenty. five lashes on his bare back
with horsewbip. The notorious NJ. W.
Gary was at Edgefield court house, and
mounted upon his old wal. charger, he rode
down every Republican who ventured near
the polls. A Thousand of his followers were
on the ground, armed with revolvers, ready
to administer death to any one who remon-
strated with him. Hitherto that county
has always given upwards of one thousand
Republican majority. but by the Lamar
shotgun policy the ku-Klux now claim it
by 8. 800 majority. In the county of Spar
tanburg the rebels repeated" with aston
ishing results. They claim to have polled
more votes than there are white citizens in
the county and third more than the ag
gregate white and colored poll-lists COM
bined. In Marion county they prscticed
similar intimidation and fraud, no less than
six negroes having been shot down in cold
blood. At the few precinc's where soldiers
were stationed everything was quiet, and
it was owing to their presence that enough
Republicans were allowed to vote to save
the State from falling under rebel control.
Verify has the ballot become plsything
for rebels when they thus systematically
trifle with so serious prerogative, And
now, defeated at the polls, they propose to
make the Returning Board count them in
by abject force at Columbia on Thursday
next
National Republican., 1876-11-13

A BOLD bluff game, if not dangerous
and REASONABLE one, is being attempted
by the Opposition in South Carollns.
Prominent citizens" from all parts Of
the State have assembled at Columbia to
be present when the canvass of votes is
made next Thursday. Coincident with
this information, which comes to us BY
Associated Press, we learn that three mem ;
bers of the board Of canvassers are candi-
dates for reelection and will be called
upon to decide questions in which they
are personally interested. This assertion
will soon be used as bass for claim
that the Radicals have attempted to perpe-
trate frauds, and as an excuse for murder
GUS rebel assault upon the Republican State
authorities. And John B, Gordon is in
Columbia.
National Republican., 1876-11-13

''THE solid South and the solid Catholic
Church" is the phrase used by certain
class of Republicans to explain the result
of the late campaign. This is mere bosh.
The alliance of the Southern rebels
with the Democracy is natural, but
there is nothing natural In the alleged
alliance of the Catholic Church with
the Democracy. There is no such thing
as an Established Church or pre-
dominant religion in this country, and
consequently sectarisnism cannot enter
into political contests as an issue unless
both parties are willing to make it so.
Irish and German Catholics worked and
voted for the Republican cause last Tues
day the same as native Methodists did,
while others worked and voted for the
Democracy. Perhaps, if these facts were
more generally recognized by Republican
leaders, different results would follow in
future contests.
