TREMBLING in rnEIR BOOTS.
The GeorEIa BourbOns Fenrn'I or n Ma.
hone Outbreak in that state.


The Bourbons Of Georgia are beginning to fear
a Malone movement In that State. A correspond.
ent OF that Bourbon Democratic sheet the Charles
ton Ncrs and Courier, writing from Atlanta, says
Among the prominent men who have been re-
tired are Ex-Governor Smith, eN-Unitcd States
Senator II. v. NJ. Miller ex United States Senator
7. NJ. Norwood, and ex-Unitcd States Senator
Joshua Hill. They may be denomnaod 10y the
general name Of" soreheads" but they still possess
n great deal Of power and will stand together In
any effort 10 break up the present Democratic or
genization. As proof Of the. general feeling OF
disquietIdc in the Democratic party mention
againthe strong
GROWTH OF rSDEpESpESrr0r,
which has resulted in the capture of several of the
congressional districts and IN the election OF a
number of Independents TO the State Legislature
The chances all are that in the next gubetnatorinl
election the issue of lndcpondentism Will be tested
t. the fullest extent, and, unless the present por-
bear the heaviest strain TO which II has ever been
subjected. There Is already formulating
MOST PERtLous ISSUE
for the Dcmocracy-the repeal of the poll-tax law,
which is daily disfmnchising more and more coll
ored voters by reason OF the non payment Of taxes
This measure was adopted IN 1877, and upon this
issue, at any rate, the negroes will be solidly
united. Ofcourse they will 60 with any organization
which has for its object the repeal of an act so OBJ
noNious TO them and so destructive Of all their
rights as citizens. The policy adopted by Malone
orcd voter who Is not able to pay his taxes will
have his taxes paid for him. Money, aud argu-
ments more demoralizipg even than the use o
money will he presented TO the colOred people
who viii stand solidly by those who will stand by
them. There arc about 9i,0O0 colored voters and
13i 600 white voters according TO the last election
returns. II is estimated that ut least $1,000 whit,
voters who have heretofore worked with the Dem
ocracy will Join the new party movement, and
simple sum In subtraction and addition will Civ,
the dreaded result In other words, II the conjec
lures of those who have watched the trend of pO
ltical events are worthy of consideration
TIE NEXT VOTE IN GEORGIA
will stand about az follows: For straightou
| Democratic State government aud Legislature tn
vote will be 10000, and for a Compromise or In
| dependent ticket $4,000. IL must be borne II
mind, however, that the next c0lored vote II
| Gesrgia will be largely in excess of $1,000; tina
\ every step will be taken 10 secure the thorough
| political Reorganization OF the negroes, and tina
the secession OF voters from the Democratic rank
will very likely exceed the number as given above
| II IS fair 10 say that no negro Will be deprived
the right OF suffrage in the next election by fail
| ure 10 pay has pUll-taN, and that all the none
| necessary ~ set him right with the Government
| will be easily at command.
| "Such, am convinced after n careful review @
the situation, arc some of the dangers coufrontin
the Democratic party in Georgia II may pu
through all right, but the future is full of danger
