The Republicans of Virginia ari- j
again giving Mie Readjust era trouble by
proposing lo imi a negro for Congress
man ut large. They claim that as the
negroes compose nine tenths <<f tbc lb:
publican vote of the State, that their
race is entitled to this distinction. VVe
think the negroes arc right. Tin ro i- no
good sense in their voting solidly the
Republican ticket, ami always < lecting
white Republicans or Rcadju.-ters. They
could get as good a showing that by
voting the Democratic ticket. The ne
groes are right. II they art: determined to
bold up the Republican parly forever
they ?night t<. make that party give them
a good share of the oflices, Tbc Repub
licans could not hold power for a single
election if the negro vote North and
South did not rally almost solidly to
their support, and yet they give the ne
gro almost nothing in the way ofoflicc.*.
lie is a good fellow to do the voting, but
then some rascally white Republican is
? :o much better to do the oflicc holding.
It will hi- creditable to the perception of
tin? negro when ho realizes that bo keeps
the Republican parly alive, and forces
that party to give bis race a proper ( ijuiv
alent in offices for the voting which they
do. It' they would act together they
could force the Republicans to share
everything, from the Cabinet oilices down,
with their race. The Republican party
would kick at it of course, but then if
they love the negro so immensely, it
ought t<? afford them pleasure to testify
theii appreciation by giving him some
of the oilices. The demand fur recogni
tion by the negroes is embarrassing to
the Republicans, but it is fair, and they
ought to grant it, or quit everlastingly
protesting their love and regard for him.
Ah it stands now, they bold tbc negro ns
good a fellow to vole, but a bad fellow to
bold oflicc, and to carry out this theory
Ibey spend the campaign months in
promising him office*, and after the elec
tion in over they devote the remainder ni
tbc two years to lying out of those proni'
iscH. It is creditable to the negro that
he is beginning to ml this out, ami if I
be acts wisely be will make- the Republi
cans either put up the offices promised,
or shut up the false promises so glibly
made. Kitber born of the dilemma,
however, would be disastrous to tbc party.
Let the music proceed- it is no funeral
of the Democracy.
CONUUESSIONAl, I) Mi UNIFICATION.
The position of u member of Congress
was. formerly a dignified and honorable
post of public duty, and should always
be such, but the Republican party, in its
greed for power and for private fortunes,
is fast lowering the public estimation of
our Congressmen. legislative body in
which a Kellogg can retain scat in the
Senate unmolested, when it is generally
conceded bo lias conspired with others to
largely defraud the Government be pre
tends to serve, and in which so notorious
?i public plunderer as Robcaon, so vulgar
und obscene a speaker as Uutterwortb,
an ex-convicted bribe taker like Smalls,
and a man charged with forging portions
of the evidence on which be was admit
cd like Mnckoy, can bold scats in the
House of Representatives, cannot expect
much cither of public respect or honor.
It is a great misfortuno for u country to
lose confidence in the purity and integ
rity of its law-makers, und when .1 coun
try perceives that the drift of a political
party is to debase the character of tho
law-making representatives for partisan
advancement, it becomes the highest
duty of the citizen, regardless of party,
to assert hie self-respect, his patriotism
and his personal integrity by assisting to
the extent of bis influence and his voto
to hurl such a party from power. When
this individual integrity is not strong
cough to so assert itself, there can be
no mistake thnt tho future of the coun
try is not cucournging. It is better for a
country like ours that either its Execu
tive or its Judicial department should be
corrupt than that its Legislative depart
ment should be so, for if tho Kxecutivo
or the Judiciary is corrupt the Legisla
tive can correct it by impeachment, while
there is practically no remedy for corrupt
legislation.
Corrupt laws exert their influence all
over tho country and leave their impress
upon the futuro, so that a people cannot
be too particular or exacting in the selec
tion of their law-makers ; and thoso po
litical parties which show a disregard of
this most sacred trust by assisting pol
luted men to obtain seats in our legisla
tive bodies, and show themselves to bo
reckless of tho consequences of ho lowor
ing the iutegrity of tho law-making body
as to bo willing to take among them men
like Smalls, Mackey, Robcson, et id omne
genus, should be swept forever from the
control of our government. We have
confidence enough in the American peo
ple?although we know they are largely
blinded by partisan strife and misrepre
sentation al present?to believe that tho
day is not far distant when tho party that
baldly perpetrates such enormities upon
tho people as to degrade and debase tbo
legislative body of tho government will,
ere long, be driven into oblivion. Even
now the storm of public indignation is
gathering, and wo have an abiding con.
fidence that its strength this year will be
sufficient to turn the majority of the
present House of Representatives into a
minority, and give the next House into
the control of the Democracy. There
should be some check to the brazen dis
regard of all that is puro or honorable or
estimable which has characterized Re
publican rule.
in his gift to tho University of Georgia,
Senator Brown has provided for the be
otowracut of a scholarship in the Agri
cultural College on a student to be
selected from tho counties of Anderson,
Cameo and Fickens in South GYrolion,
thereby remembering the county of his
nativity?Pickens?and tho county in
which the first money was loaned him to
procure an education?Anderson. This
sentiment does credit to the heart and
memory of the distinguished Senator, I

One of lie most interesting ami im
portunt Conventions ever liciti by the
I ?emoerats of Georgia for the nomination
of State oilicers con veneti in Atlanta last
week. Tbe two prominent points of in
terest weit the Gubernatorial nomina
tion, which was contested by Hon. Alex
ander II. Stephens ami Hon. A. <>.
Ilncon, Speaker of the Georgia House of
Representatives, and the question of
changing tbc rules of the party in
Georgia so as to allow nomination- to be
made by a majority of a convention in
stead of requiring a two-thirds vote to
nominate. Upon he (ir-t point, it was
ivei! understood aftei the primary meet
ings in ( ?eorghi that nothing but the two
thirds rule could defeat Mr. Stephens, ?ir,
be bad marly two third* of thcdelegates
b eted instructed by tin ir constituents
to vote lor him, and it was likely to be a
very close vole if the bid rub- was ud?
lie'red to, so that the light resolved i!-* ':t'
int'* the all-absorbing ijui -lion of amend
ing the rule-. It will lit; remembered
that two years ago the Con volition adop
ted (he two-thirds rule, and that under
its operations no nomination for Gov
ernor was made -Gov. Coiquitl getting
largely more than half, but not quite
two-third- of the Convention ; and, both
faction-* rofti-ing compromiso, two men,
Gov. Cohjuilt and ex-Senator Norwood,
ran for Governor as Democrats. The
trouble of the Jnst election brought the
malti r home to the people, and it was
thoroughly discussed all over the State,
so that in the late Convention the rule
was changed so as only to require a ma
jority vote to nominate. The vote on
changing the rule blood: ayes, 1 -1-5;
nays, IG I l-G.
Nominations for Governor were then
made uid it being generally known that
Mr. Stephens was safe, Mr. Bacon with
drew his name from tho race and Mr.
Stephens was nominated by an almost
unanimous vote, which stood : Stephens,
" Jo ; blank and scattering, 3?I.
Tbe following Slate officers were next
nominated :
Secretary of State ?1 Ion. N. ('. Har
riett, of lialdwhi.
Comptroller-General- Hon. William
A. Wright, of Richmond.
Treasurer Hon. ). N. Speer, >f
Troup.
Attorney-General ?Hon. Clifford Am
dcrson, of Bibb.
Tbe next point of interest was the
nomination of Congressman at Large,
which resulted as follows: Thomas
Hardemati, of Bibb, '217'.; George T.
l?ame-, of Hic binomi, 77 ; |T. . Carlton,
471; Win. il. Dabney, IO. The nomi
nation oft Ol. Ilardeman was made tiiiUii
imous, um] a strong platform of priti
ciples udopted. Tbo Convention was
harmonious, and its action will bo rati
fied by the people of Georgia most over
whelmingly. There will be no Indepen
dents and no Holters in that State. The
organized Democracy is better solidified
and united to day than it has been -ince
the war. .Mr. Stephens with this term
I as Governor will close his eventful and
useful public rcer. It is an honor
well merited, and most opportunely be
stowed.
Among the many important questions
that will be brought before the approach
ing Slato Convention, there is perhaps
none worthy of more careful considera
tion than the proposer! amendment of
the Constitution relative to the basis of
representation in future Convention^! and
the mode of nominating Congressmen.
Tho present basis of representation is
in proportion to the whole population of
the separate, counties, while the fair and
just way, we think, nbould be in propor
tion to the Democratic vote cast. As
the representation stands now, Beaufort
County, which polls only about live hun
dred Democratic voles, has eight dele
gates in the State Convention, while
Anderson County, which polls over :',;"i0()
Democratic votes, only has ten delegates,
whereas the proper portion should be
Anderson seven delegates to overy ono
delegate from Beaufort. Wc have to do
seven eighths of the Democratic voting
done in the two counties, nnd it is fuir
that WC should have seven-eighths of the
delegates in the Convention. This
amendment will be earnestly pressed,
and ought to prevail. Another desira
ble change, wo think, would bo the nom
ination of Congressmen by a primary
clectioq. This would bring our people
into a closer personal relation to federal
politics, nnd would bring tbo Congress
men closer to tho people. They would
have to go into ovory part of their dis
trict, and would necessarily become ac
quainted with tbo wishes and tho needs
of their constituents in a more thorough
manner than thoy do, or can do under
tho present system. In our opinion this
chango would greatly strengthen tho
Democratic party, and give us ablo aud
popul... representatives in Congress.
It is said that the Speaker of the pres
ent House of Representatives, Gen.
Kcifer, is having a hot contest for the
renomination to Congress from his dis
trict in Ohio. The trouble seems to be
that the colored voters, v.-ho hold tbe
balance of power, are dissatisfied with
him, because he has given tho negro
very little show in his appointments as
Speaker. It is, of course, expected that
ho will overcome this difficulty, for it is
au unheard-of-thing for tho Speaker of
tho House to be beaten in bis own party.
Tho whole forces of the administration
will be thrown in his favor, aud it is
pretty certain to control the nomination.
After he gets that, tho colored vote is, of
course, expected to come up as usual in
the general election to save "tho party"
from defeat t Tbc Republican idea of
tho negro is, that he is a good animal to
do as much of the voting as possible,
and that he should be paid by the be
_?_? .i> sr_._e_-<n_ _?M

bo made to put up with. Mr. Keifer is
by wok. a great friend of tho negro, but
by practice be, like tho balance of the
Republicans, prefers a whito mau whon
it comes to parcelliug out tho offices. If
tho Oh'o negroes havo any self-respect,
they will defeat Keifer this fall, even if
they bave to elect a Democrat to accom
plish it.
The Atlauta Constitution announces
that "Shorter College receives a large
benefaction, as was to have been expect
ed, from tbo cs'atc of the late Co!onel
Alfred Shortsr, of Rome. A cash le
qui - of ?fyOOO i-< iliade, unii ?40,0?Q i?

used ax an endowment fund for reducing
tuition ami helping poor htudcnt*. Tide
amount, with the (.'liarles McDonald
Brown fund, makes very nearly ? 100,000
given within a few days to help educa
tion in Georgia." The Conititution says,
further: ' The example- are good ones
for charitably disposed rich nu n lo imi
tale. The more good colleges we have,
and good schools, the more nal wealth,
capital, prosperity and culture will be
added to our Slate Im maki- it still more
pM.minent in tlx- South than it is now."
The people ol Georgia, developing all of
tin- gran-1 resourcei of their great State,
me determined to build ber educational
institution? up ? a level with the best
I ' rsiiies of tiiis country. They hiiow
the power ol knowledge, and art: de
termined that tiit ir State diali not lag
behind in the dev. lopmeiil of this great
faetoi in human inlliience and progress.
t n. Clingunui, who has been dis
plea'.ed with t ! : ?? Democrats of North
Carolina ever since they preferred !"
inak? Matt. Uaimom l.'nited Slates Sen
ator, and ban been leading an oll-horne
in politics, now claims that the obi North
Sitile will go for tin- Independents thin
year by 50,000 majori y. Stranger things
1: .ve happened than tili-, and be may be
correct in bis prediction, bui for the sake
of the people of North Carolina we
trini that bitter thing- await them.
There is no doubt, that the prohibition
light there la-t year has somewhat weak
ened the Democracy, but wo scarcely
think it lias done .?o to the extent of pre
paring the people of that Slate to fly to
unknown political gods for deliverance.
The prohibition light is over, and we
take it that a majority of the people of
the Statt: will have good sense enough
to perceive that there is no reason to lug
it into the politica of ibis year, and that
by so doing they will imperil the pros
perity and good government of their
State. If they do not perceive ibis, it
will only be the worse for North Caroli
na. They bad better let Gen. Ulingman
and bis hungry oflieo hunters severely
alone.
The Id?mocratie parly can thank Mr.
Hardctihergh, of New Jersey, for the
seating of the ex-Penitentiary convict?
the hurley Smalls?in Congress. He is
a Democrat, and voted on the ipieslion
of u quorum, which enabled the Repub
licans to take up the case. All the other
Democrats refused to vole. This should
be remembered by bis constituents. It
was treason to bis party, and that trea
son was committed to nable the Repub
licans to unseat a Democratic gentleman,
to make room for a Republican ex-con
vict. These men who cannot sfiorii to
act with their party on such questions
ought to quit it, and avow themselves
Republicans, or Independents. They
arc tbc worst enemies to the Democracy,
for pretending to be in the fold they use
their position to censure the parly in the
hope of obtaining some personal advan
tage by their weak-kneed treachery.
The Star Route trials drag their farsi
cal length along, and the alleged thieves
aro exultant in their assurance that no
harm is to befall them. Too many im
portant personages in the Republican
party are implicateli in this thievery to
permit the conviction of any of tbc gang.
The integrity of the Republican party
requires that no break shall bi made
with these thieves, for should one occur,
it is reasonably sure that the truth of the
oh' adage, that when thieves fall out
honest men get their due, would be
strikingly displayed. Enough ul the
prominent Republicans would be in
volved to decimate the party leaders,
thereby filling the National penitentia
ries and sending the party in disgrace
from power. The party of great moral
ideas cannot afford such a thing, and
hence no convictions may be expected in
theso cases.
Senator Kellogg is rejoicing over the
fact that the Grand Jury in the Star
Route cases did not lind true bill
against him. Public opinion, however,
is fast renching the conclusion that ho
ought not only to have a true bill found
against him, but be ought to be punished
as a criminal for his complicity in these
frauds. It is said that he has escaped by
threatening to turn the Senate over to
the Democrat* if he is not protected by
the administration. His conspicuous
position induces,many independent pa
pers to criticiso tho Republican parly,
and nmong them tho Springfield Jiepub
tiran expresses the opinion that Kellogg
and Robeson are carrying their party to
political perdition, which means to per
manent defeat and destruction.
A correspondent of the Newt and Cou
rier nominates Col. B. \V. Edwards, of
Darlington, for Governor, r.nd bases his
suggestion upon the fact that there is an
evident desire upon tho part of many
persons to bring a now candidnto in tho
field. This correspondent says that Col.
Edwards is a graduate of the South Car
olina College, and of tho Harvard Uni
versity Sebo ? of Law. Ho is one of
do leading lawyers in the State, and is
a man of varied culture and attainments.
His nomination and election would give
to the State an able and thoroughly con
scicntious executive.
Tho Indianapolis Sentinel calls atten
tion to tho fact that one J. Warren
Keifer, who, by the grace of the Repub
lican pai ty und the help of the Green
back vote, disgraces this country by ait
ting in the Speaker's chair in the House
of Representatives, charged among his
expenses in attending the Garfield
funeral the sum of five cents for having
his brognns shincd. Tho Sentinel says it
is about timo that Keifer was packing his
grip sack for tho purpose of "going to
see tho Lordy."
One of tho Northern papers has dubbed
the Republican party of to day, which is
the creature of Guitteau's bullet, "The
going to tho Lordy party," which is not
an inapt description of the parly as as
sociated with ibi insanely villainous crea
tor. This name will stick.
Ad tho sc&sion of the Stato Convention
approaches the uncertainty as to who is
to re?oive the Gubernatorial nomination
increase i'., and heneo the interest on' this
point absorbs the consideration of all
the other positions on the State ticket.
'l'iie Republican papers are howling
about Mir election law, which they do
clare disfranchises, thousand* of negroes,
This in not true, and is only the creature
of their ignorant imaginations, or of
their wilful prevarication ; but if it were
true why do they pity the negro so much
as to look after his suffrage while they
foigi t the forty thou-aud white men di-*
franchise*! by the laws of Rhode I-!u:.d,
and the large number deprived of the
right to vote in Vermont?
In the estimation of Republican pa

Another colored I {epresen tat i ve from

Th?-vote was 111 yeas ugidnst 5 nays on
iiie <|iiesiion of giving Robert smaiis the
seat of (?eorgo I). Till man, of Sooth Car
olina. From the outset the proceedings
to-day were interesting, although the
palm of humor wits awarded to Mr, llorr.
of Michigan, wdio enjoyed himself ami
amused the spectators with bis caustic
jilies at tho Ilemoci atic contest?e. The
strongest point was exhibiting a. map in
which the rodist riet lug of South Carolina
was sot out, and in a disputo between
himself and Mr. Alberton, of Ohio, be
referred to the gerrymandering of certain
portions of the ISuckeyc stai?) as being
"as disgraceful us tho villainous systoni
adopted in South Carolina." Mr. Horr
extolled Ilio virtues of the Republican
party at great length. When he c?li*
clildod ho ant down, apparently well sat
isfied with his effort, hut made to squirm
visibly when Mr. Tlllman, speaking in
his own behalf, ebarnetcri/.ed tho M fehl
gander's actions as similar to tho antics
of nlown in ? circus.

'this was inore than Mr. Horr could
bear, and ho attempted to interrupt the
South Carolinian, but was stonily order
ed to sit down and stop playing the buf
foon that be was old enough to know
better. This rnlher disconcerted the hu
morist of Ihu Republican side, and waxed
vory wroth at not being allowed a chanco
to reply and was with difliculty pressed
down in his seat. After paying his re
spects to Mr. Horr, the South Carolina
Representative stated confidently that ho
would be returned to Congress aicain this
Fall and by Stich a majority that no olio
could set it aside, lie proceeded in a
witty manner to show tho hardships a
contestant mot with at Washington, and
said he spoko from experience, having
been through the mill twice. Ho was
impartial in condemning the action of
both sides in his case, and claimed, more
over, that tho Democrats had deserted
him when they wore in power in order
to placato public .sentiment and put in
Smalls.
COMMOTION OVKlt Mil. CALKINS.
Ho was listened to very attentively,
and as ho poured hot shot Indiscriminate
ly into the camps of tho two parlies bo
was rewarded with generous mid contili*
ed applause. It was stated openly about
tho Capitol to-day that Chairman Calkins
of the Election Committee, was opposed
to the Hunting of Smalls, and considerable
anxiety was manifested to see w hat his
coursu would he in the inallor. When
his name was reached on tho lirst roll
call, relative to adopting the majority re
port in favor of Smalls, Mr. Calkins did
not vole. Instantly he was beset by his
Republican associates, who urged and
entreated 1dm to str.nd by tho party.
When tho second call was niado Mr.
Calkins, in a low lone, said, "aye," great
ly to the delight of those around him.
lint bombshell could hardly have cre
ated moro havoc In tho Republican ranks
than the ani-ounecmcnt by Mr. Calkins,
boforo the result of the vote was stated,
thut ho wished to chungo his voto.
MU. CALKINS CHA SO Ks HIS YOTK.
Speaker Keifcr, not relishing such u
stato of alTiilrs, persisted in looking tho
wrong way while Mr. Calkins was clam
ori llg lor recognition. Finally tho latter,
in thunder tonos, domandoli that tho
Speaker should reeognizo him, and in a
roiUCtant manner the Speaker awarded
tho tloor to tho gentleman from Indiana,
who was surrounded by his friends, anx
iously entroniiog him to stick by his
tlrst vote. "It is no uso appealing to me,
gontlemon," replied Mr. Calkins," 1
cannot recoiicilo my couscienco to voto
for Mr. Smalls, and I thoroforo dosiro my
vote recorded with the negativo instead
of tho affirmative." Tho oxcitemont fol
lowing this announcement had scarcely
subsided when Speaker Keifer stidod
that, in culling the roll on tuo proposition
declaring Mr. Till man not on ti tied to a
seat tho Clerk had mudo u mistake in
fooling up Ibo result, and that there woro
only 145 votes, only ono loss t..un a
quorum. This did not innko any differ
oneo, however, for tho Speaker directed
bis name to bo recorded in order to make
a quorum, und mudo tho stuteuiont In or
der to provont any futuro complications.
t.X-SPBAKKR ? . .' OBJECTIONS.
As another roll-call had intervened bo
foro tho Speaker mndo this announce
ment ox-Speakor Randall objected to
such an arbitrary proceeding, Rtating
that there was no pr?c?dent for such ac
tion and that a quorum had not voted on
the moasuro. The Speaker retorted with
tho nssortion that Mr. Randall on two
occasions had oxoreised tho samo privi
lege. This was denied by tho Ponusj'l
vania Representativo, wdio objoctod to
being misquoted by the Speaker or any
ono else. A tumult was at once inaugu
rated, greatly to the edification of tho
throng in tho galleries, and overy mem
ber on both sides of tho ebainbor was on
bis feet waving the books of rules and
demanding i\ hoarinn. Speaker Kni<or,
as usual, became angry, and In his f?rj7,
whilo pounding on tho desk struck an
inkstand with the gavel nnd shivered It,
the contents being splashod over the pa
pora on the desk and tho backs of tho

could not distinguish friend or foo in

l 'inaliy Mr. Reed, who is Chairman of
the Judiciary Committee, crept stealthily
up to tho desk, and. In an angry tone,
plainly audiblo In the roportors' gallery,
said : "Look hero, Keifor, why don't
yon lot us help you? You aro the causo
of all this ( -nublo, but if you will assist
by recognizing us, wo can manage those
fellows on the other sido." Boforo the
Speaker could reply, Mr. Reed discov
ered knot of correspondents on tho

turned to bis seat. Sir. ltooeson. in hie
most bullying manner, was .shaking his
list at tho opposition, and howling : "Mr.

in ordor to quiet him. he was allowed to
speak. Ho tnado tho point that no ques

regular at the timo, and consequently
that it was tco lato.

This afforded tho DomoeraLs an oppor
tunity to get in the remark that they
know nothing of any irregularity till the
Speaker announced it. Speaker Keifer
