OF New York.

G. W. THOMPSON, in Vindicatlng ex-
Confederate Zeb. Vance from the charge
of shooting Union conscripts, confesses that
Vance issued proclamation promising ex-
emption from punishment to all who re-
turned to their posts, (Which meant OF
course, that those who declined would not
be exempted and that one Thomas Ray
was shot because he cut himself loose and
attempted to escape from the soldiers, who
were forcing him into the rebel service.
Vance's troops murdered W. H. Brown, of
Wilkes county, Quaker and peace man,
Tor the sin of refusing TO fight for the
rebels. He treated all the Quakers in the
most cruel manner: threatened them with
fire and sword; asked Lee for troops to
quarter on them. Brown was 10 years old,
very fleshy and unable to walk with COM
fort. They drove him ten miles on the
double-quick, prompted by bsyonets, com
PEELED him to wade the river, threw him in
to jail. from all which he died. In Wilkes
county alone he arrested, or caused to be
arrested and punished, over one hundred
Union men, or men who were conscien-
tiously opposed TO war, and especially a
war to perpetuste slavery. Fire and sword
were his instruments. A record Of his
atrocities would shock the moral sense Of
the civilized world.

to the "old settlers" the same as to the

to the "old settlers" the same as to the
Nation proper.
To cap the climax, the amount of S419.-
1856, credited to the cold settlers" is
charged up in the general account against
them. The waste and steal amounts to
"a, 800, 900, and it has cost the Indians
another half million, and the Government
almost as much more In the attempt to un-
ravel the complications of Democratic in
capacity.
Now if the reader will take into his COM
prehension that there were four other
nations similarly situated and dealt
with in the same way, he will realize that
the whole sum cannot be less than
$50, 600, 900, which, at simple interest,
would double itself more than once and
half This, with the Floyd and Thompson
steals, have been left as legacIes to the Re-
publican party by their illustrious prede-
cessors. Nothing in modern Indian man
agement can possibly equal this. This his
tory of accounting and rascality has no
parallel. A part of it has been corrected, but
there remains yet a tanglement that appals
all ordinary accountants and whatever
there is in the whole transaction is due to
Democratic rascality and incompetency.
1t therefore i'll becomes them to denounce
the Government or Indian policy. Old
Zach. has decapitated as many as thirteen
clerks at single stroke of his official
scimitar, and more are in fair way to
drop their heads into the basket. But who
ever heard of Democrats being dismissed
from Office for dishonesty, except under
compulsionl 1t is not claimed that the
whole of this " as stolen from the Indians,
but that the settlement, grossly erroneous
in nearly every particular, full of willful
mistakes, demonstrates the dishonesty and
incapacity of Democrats even in piping
times of peace.

large bonded debt was incurred, but no
blame attached 10 the Republican mem
bers of the Legislature, as the journals of
both Houses attest that Democrats sup
ported by their votes every one of those
measures. From briefless lawyer, hailing
from the backwoods, Treasurer Jones was
soon transformed into one of the most gay
and dfestiye characters ofAtlsnta; indeed, he
was referred to by his friends as the
"Glsucus of the Gate City" No one
sported finer turnout than Treasurer
Jones, and his table groaned under the
luxuries of foreign and domestic markets.
His cellars were stocked with the vintages
Of days gone by, and his board was sur
rounded by such men as Toombs, Hill and
other cormorants, who had for life time
subsisted at the expense of their State.
Now this extravagant style of living was
costly, and the State of Georgia had to
foot the bills. Last winter legislative
committee overbauled Mr.. Jones books,
and found that he had made away with
just $3.50, 600. Was impeachment and re-
moval from office resortedto? Not bit off it.
Mr.. Jones was mildly requested to rssire
temporarily, when Governor Smith ap-
pointed his successor. A few weeks there
after Jones demanded that he be rein
stated, and made things lively in and
about Georgia for some time, but soon
Ben. Hill appeared upon the ground, and
patched things up to the extent of havinga
legislative committee report that "Mr.
Jones integrity was unquestioned,
" but he had simply been unfortunate in
" his system of book keeping" Thus
war-worn people were Systematically
robbed ofover quarter of million by the
very class of men who had been the noisiest
in their denunciation Of the Republican
regime. Many persons are Of the opinion
that Georgia is highly prosperous under
Democratic rule, but those who have
knowledge of the inner workings of that
Commonwealth know that as q people
Georgians are fearfully misgoverned, and
that their resources have not only suffered
from the lswlessness Of White Line mobs,
but their treasure has been pillaged by
gentlemen of the old school, whose cry,
like the daughter of the horse leech, is
"give, give" and who would not be any
thing if not engaged in fleeing their
neighbors. So much for Democratic ere

National Republican., 1876-09-15

II Is INSTRUCTIVE to compare the con-
dition of the Democratic party Of 1860 -'61,
as described elsewhere by Gov. Houston,
with that of the present time. 1t was
made up of nearly the same rulers, and its
strength was drawn from nearly the same
limits and classes. The slave power, then
in vigor, gave it life and conference, as its
traditions still do in its dying struggles.
The South controls the Democratic party
now, as it did in 1860, when the South
was in a minority of more than 2j0, 1000,
and were that Southern minority of the
party assured of success, there is not one
reason to doubt, but there are many to
give assurance that it would disregard the
wisdom of any Sam Houston of to-day,
throw aside its plant, shameless Northern
majority, which it has kicked aside or
picked up at its pleasure in times past, and
would '1et the Union slide" for South
ern Confederacy and slavery again. The
majority of the voters of the Democratic
party, who are Northern men in Northern
States, are as servile to the South to-day as
if they had changed places with the slave,
or did not know that it is the United
South" of the war that now shapes the
policy of the Democratic party, in Con
gress if not in conventions, so far as the
party is in power. The whole tone of the
legislation Of the last House of Representa-
tives is Southern and conspiCuously Sec
tional, and the complexion of the House
committees, with twenty seven Southern
chairmen, seventeen from the West, and
only five from the Northeast, shows that
Mr.. Kerr, Mr.. Randall and the rest were
run in the interest of ten Southern States
that is, in the interest of the minority of
the Democratic partY-s minority which
has the only purpose and the only need Of
the brains belonging to that organization.
The Northern Democrats have had no
political purpose since the war began.
They were able to live as an opposition
until the return of the South (fOr which
they are not to blame) showed a reason for
their survival in the needs of their masters.
By themselves they have no unity of pol
icy, or no policy whatever. The South
has never lacked in that respect, (be the
credit of the policy more or less, and that
one fact has placed her Northern allies in
the unchsnging position of underlings, who
have always been appeased by an occa-
sional recognition. The Republican party
is the only one which opposes the section
alism of the South, with national convic-
tons strong enough to rally men to the
death, when need comes; and whether the
national convictions shall continue to gov
err, after their recent armed triumph, or
60 down before the sectional policy and
teachings of the South, is question that
not Democratic servitors alone, with no
particular convictions about anything but
Office, but sincerely patriotic men, approach
the time to answer with the ballot

GEORGIA "REPoRhERs.n y

Georgia presents fair specimen Of Dem
ocratic rule in the South. Bymeans Of the
most glaring election frauds and the boldest
intimidation, Toombs, Hill, Gordon & Co.
succeeded in sitting the voice Of the people
and turned the State over to one of the most
diabolical White-Line conspiracies which
has thus far disgraced our civilization. In
1868 new constitution was adopted by the
people of Georgia in convention assembled,
and loyal men were elected to fill q major
ity of the offices. This greatly displeased
Charles ]. jenkins, the titular Cover
nor, who hastily filled his carpet-bag
with all the funds Of the Stste-sbout
$500, ,000-and left for parts unknown.
Ostensibly jenkins was protecting the pub
Lie treasure from spolistion, but in reality
he was replenishing his greatly depleted
eXcheQuer, as the records of the State fail
to show where that worthy ever returned
the sum in question. 1t is significant that
from a poor man at the close of the war,
jenkins is now the president and principal
stockhOlder of bank at Augusta. When
the shot policy of Gordon was success
fully tried in November, 1870, and the State
remanded TO Democratic rule, the efficient
Republican treasurer, DR.. Angler, was
at once removed, and one Jones
was appointed in his stead. As
elsewhere, the Jones family is numer-
Gus in Georgia, and nearly all of them

There was jerks Jones, who once slipped
into Congress from Toombs' old district, but
his lack of brain was SO apparent that even
his unlettered constituency resolved not to

cratic State Treasurer, whose cognomen is

dition. It is true that Democratic lobbyists
had succeeded in securing State aid to

Secretary Chandler returned to this city
yesterday morning from New York, where he
has been attending to duties In connection
with the work Of the National Republican
Campaign Committee. The advices received
by the committee from al parts of the country
are of very cheerful character, and indicate
beyond the ghost Of doubt that the great
Democratic tidal wave is rolling in a way that
affords most uneasy contemplation on the
part OF the leaders OF that organization. In
New York State the chances for Hayes are
favorable and sadsfac ory. From the great
West the advicss are exceedingly pleasant, and
the Pacific coast will lUUm up votes and ma
jorities that will compare well with the Re-
publican strongholds nearer the Atlantic.

dler, careful calculator of political events and
indications as he is, has no doubt that In local

pear to feel less ssnguine Of success will give

They are in harness and working steadfastly
in the cause, while there is great enthusiasm
manifested. 1t is the result of thorough obser-
yation which proves how earnestly the great
ma: :ority Of the people are going for Hayes.
They are "going" for Tilden also, but 1t is in
