National Republican., 1878-10-28

troops OF South Carolina could be called |
forth three times in two weeks without the |
knowledge and consent of their commander
in-chlefp If that were possible, II would
only place HAMPToNs ignorance and innO-
the cipher-telegram case. No. This whole
performance is without doubt a part Of
HAMPToNs plan Of reason and argument"
by which he has determined to carry the
State at any cost" and for that reason he
is as much subject to the attention Of the
United States District Attorney and Marshal
rs those he puts TO the front TO carry out his
behests in violating the laws. He is an ac-
cessory, and hence is equally culpable.
MORE OF SENATOR BEN HILLS ANTICS.
The Democrats of the State Of Georgia
are unhappy. They had fondly hoped to
have quiet, iug-handed election this year,
with no Republican candidates in the field
TO trouble them. Having captured most of
the Federal Offices of the State, including
the United States Marshalship through the
all-powerful influence of Senators HILL and
GORDON, they confidently trusted that when
II came down to such small matters as Con-
gressmen they would be let alone to man
age their affairs in their own way, without
the necessity of breaking up Republican
meetings by the State militia, on WADE
HAMPEoN's South Carolina plan, or Of de-
laying cotton picking by shooting down
few dozen able-bodied niggers, after the
fashion of the Louisiana White League in
Tensas Parish. These anticipations have
been rudely dispelled.
The Savannah Morning Neps Of the 21st
instant quotes and warmly indorses the fol-
lowing from the Albany (Ga.) Advertiser,
published IN the second Congressional dis
trict of Georgia:
1t has been our hope that this district could
enjoy quiet canvass this fall But the Re-
publicans have decided otherwise. They have
put out Z. c. WADE an officer Of the HAYES
government, one Of those Internal Rerenue Col
lectOrs uhom The citisens Of BrookS County hare 10
permit 10 lire in her borders. Mr.. WADE has all
the qualifications which Republicans In the
South require that Is, he hates the white peo-
pie Of the South, and, at the same time, has no
love for the negro. The name Of E. c. WADE,
man who held Office under the corrupt GRANT
administration, is a synonym for all that
| southern hcDuDllCUnlSln means he Is the
man that used to arrest the Southern boys of
this district at the instigation of b. F. BARN.
| BERRY, a Southern born man, who allied his
fortunes with the enemies OF his own section.
The caucus of the Republicans, for II was not
representative meeting of their own party, met
| in Albany on Tuesday of this week, and thus
| declared their dislike to the whole people Of
| this district.
But, after all, II Is best. 1t shows the peo-
pie that the enemy still wishes to triumph
over them. The Republicans refused to sup
port Colonel SEWARD, of Thomas, because he
could not consent to run upon platform of
hatred TO the whites. Hence, we see Mr.. L. c.
WADE upon the stage asking Republican sup.
port. As we said, 1t is best. The Ohio cleo
| tions taught US that Gnance-that stress of the
times--the needs Of the country are nothing
when the question Of North aud South springs
up. Our only safety, then, is to learn from
them, AMI remember, II we wish succor, that
| help is TO come from ourselves. What differ
encc between W. Z. SMITH and L. c. WADE I!
As far rs the East is from the West they differ.
SMITH working for the interests of the whole
South, WADE for Northern Rcpublicanism and
Southern degradation.
1t is hardly necessary to add one word to
this frank expression OF Southern sentiment.
Perhaps, however, it may be well to state
who the Mr.. Z. G. WADE is whom the citi-
zens of Brooks County so reluctantly per
nit to live in her borders" Colonel
WADE is a native of the State of Georgia, n
gentleman of unimpcachablc integrity and
character, who fought galllntly in the Con-
like LoNGsTREET and others, laid down his
arms and became a loyal citizen of the
Union and q fearless, outspokcn Republi-
can. Last winter when Revenue Collector
FANNIN, of the second district of Georgia,
was removed because of defalcations of his
subordinates, which he was unable to make
good, L. G. WADE, without application on
his own part, was nominated to I'll the va
cnncy. He was familiar with the duties of
the Office, having been for some time chief
deputy, and his appointment was earnestly
recommended by the chief revenue officials in
the interests of the service. The nomination
was bitterly opposed by Senators HILL aud
GORDON who of course had Democrat of
their own selection ready to step into the
place, and only passed the Senate by ma
iOrity of one. Even after the commission
had been issued Senator HILL did not cease
