have about 750 majority in this county.

PARTIZAN SLANDERS.
President Grant pays no more attention
to the partizan squads that are daily fired
at his official character than he did to the
petty falsehoods which, during the war,
were set afloat to injure him As an officer
and man. He relies now as he did then
on his acts for a complete vindication be
fore the bar of public judgment. Hit
grand achievements as a General buried in
the grave of oblivion the foremost of his
traducers ; and the substantial results of
his Administration will consign to a likt
fate his present assailants. One by one
the charges raised againgt him by disap
pointed politicians have been exploded,
and before the canvass is half completed
his opponents will be reduced to the alter
native of acknowledging him one of the
ablest Presidents that ever filled the White
House, or content themselves with the
repetition of slanders which they know to
be false.
One of the petty slanders circulating
through the Democratic press is to the
effect that President Grant has made a
large amount of money since he became
President. This story is in keeping with
others of the same character. Outside of
his official salary his income does not ex
ceed six thousand dollars a year. His
principal property is his farm, six rr seven
hundred acres, near St. Louis, part of
which was inherited by Mrs. Grant. The
remainder was purchased by him while
General of the army, out of the one hun
dred thousand dollars given to him by the
citizens of New York. The balance of the
cue hundred thousand was used to pay off
the mortgage on his house on I street,
Washington, now owned by Gen. Sherman
and , in purchasing and fitting up his sum
mer cottage at Long Branch. Since he
became President he has not received one
dollar's worth of property. All that he
ever received was given to him while Gen
eral of the army, and the gifts bestowed at
that time were the generous prompting=
of the people, who believed that some sub
stantial token should accompany their re
cognition of his invaluable services to the
Republic. We challenge the enemies of .
the Administration to point to a single
corrupt or dishonest act in the career of
President Graht. He stands above re
proach, a pure-minded man ; an honest,
efficient and patriotic statesman. What
he has been in the past be will be in the
future.. He has broken no promises, made
no pledges which he fails to redeem. He
has been consistent in all things, and pre.
en ts to the American people a record,
second to none since the days of Washing
ton. He is the man for the position; has
been tried in war and in peace, and found
true. The loyal millions know this, and
will give expression to their knowledge at
the ballot-box in November next.
"Reconciled" Georgia
Mr. Greeley's organ says of the Georgea
negroes : "Many o them concluded to
wait for November before voting at all."
They certainly have good reasons for wait
!no., and our Georgia dispatches, especially
those front Atlanta and Savannah this
morning, set forth those reasons very
clearly.
There could not be a more convincing
proof' of the rooted hostility of the Demo
crats and their allies, to the equal rights
of the colored race, than the course the
party has taken in Georgia. The Legisla
tore being strongly Democratic, changed
the time of election from November to
October, and required the production of a
receipt for the poll-tax of 1871 as a condi
tion precedent to voting. This provision
of law was intended to cut off the negre
vote in two ways. First, it was known
that the negroes would be very likely to
have lost the tax receipt of the previous
year, and could only obtain a duplicate of
it from Democratic officials; and, second,
the election was taken out of the operation
of the law for the enforcement of the Four
teenth Amendment, and the Kuklux were
left free from all fear of punishment fur tat
rorism, except under State laws—i. e en
tirely free. The way having been thus
paved, the scheme ofdisfranchisement was
boldly carried out.
The polling places were made few in
number—in Savannah only four were pro
vided for a vote of eight thousand, and
these all in the same building. The polls
surrounded by armed democrats, and the
roads were patrolled by Democratic "Sabre
clubs" to oferawe the negroes. The vot
ers were required by the election officers
not only to produce the receipts required
by law, but to swear that they had paid
poll-tax every year since emancipation.
In some cases, the day before election, the
bondsmen of the tax collector surrendered
his bond, leaving no one qualified to give
tecessary receipts. Not content with this,
in canvassing the v ites, whole precincts,
where the Republican vote was heavy,
were thrown out for trivial causes, or fur
,to cause at all. In Macon, as our readers
ire already informed, the colored men
were driven away from the polls by pistol
shots and brickbats, two of their number
being murdered outright, and others se
verely wounded.
Our observation of the Southern Demo
cratic method of conducting elections,
since the war, wherever they have had
.he power to do as they pleased,(see the
New York Tribune for the past five years,)
prepared us for these outrages on the negrol
voters. But it is to be noted that the first
fruit of the Baltimore coalition is servile
apologizino• ' fur Democratic lawlessness by
he so-called ' , Liberal Republican" press.
fhe organ of Mr. Greeley says there was
-slight rioting," (referring to the murder
of the twa men at 3lican, and the wound
:ng of six others,) that the negroes were
.he "original aggressors" and that these
astute poiticians got themselves killed and
maimed in pursuance of "preconcerted plan
:or setting up a claim of intimidation at
the rolls." Any time these five years,
the Tune has held, and justly, that
where negroes were killed and beaten, or
-hot in a fight in which white Democrats
same off unhurt, the whites were certain
obe the "original aggressors." It has
tLso held, with equal justice, that the
stories about the negroes, or the negroes'
friends, having misrepresented affairs for
political effect, were sure to bel'-emocratio
inventions. But now, as its part of the
Baltimore bargain, it makes haste to
malign the negroes. and represents the
ruffians who assaulted them as innocent
victims of base designs by the negroes on
.he good name of democracy. A year ago
the Tribune would have pointed out that
China is the only country where a man
ruins his foe by disemboweling himself on
the latter's threshold. But now it would
;lave us believe that the colored voters of
Macon, with similar malicious intent, rush
ed on the revolvers of the Democrats, and
tffered their lives to increase the political
capital of the Northern Republicans. We
believe we never before beard of such
unselfish devotion on the part of voters,
or of such egregious stupidity on the part
of a newspaper.
We call the attention of' all who believe
that equal rights for all form the only safe
basis of government in this country, to
the evidence afforded by Georgia as to the
intent of the modern Democracy on this
point. If unchecked Democratic rule in
Georgia gives rise to arbitrary and violent
disfranchisement of the negroes, as of old
and this crime is screened by Mr. Greeley's
personal organ, what may be expected if
Mr. Greeley and the Democrats should
come into possession of the National Gov
ernment? If we have insisted for seven
sears on a reconstruction of the Southern
States that should give security to all men,
in all ther rights, is it worth while to cur
.-ender the country to a party that shows
in advance that it despises and hates one
half the Southern voters, and will deprive
them of all their rights when it regains
power?—N. Y. Times.

AUBURN, Sept, 17, 1872.
MY DEAR. MR. JOHNSON : Although
I have oecasisn to write much, I am oblig
ad now to use another's hand. You will
not be surprised. Therefore, find it me
in irregular correspondent. At the mo
ment when the country was called to
confront the last civil war, a consequence
of its adoption of the policy of restricting
slavery, I was required to take upon myself
a part in the Executive Administration. I
knew then very well that liberty, constitu
tion and Union were inseparable, and that
t failure of the Administration to save
them would consign all concerned in it to
eternal infamy. I thought, on the other
hand, that my part, however humble in
the rescue, ought to be enough to crown a
loyal ambition. I knew moreover that
could not _perform that very difficult part
successfully without making a sacrifice of
all personal and party prejudices, and
aspirations for after life. I therefore
cheerfully and openly pledged myself to
that sacrifice. I thus secured a retirement
from political life at the end of the strug
gle, which has become pleasant to me. If
any of my fellow-citizens think I am not
entitled to enjoy it, for the reasons I have
mentioned, they will concede it to me
when they know that it has now became
indispensable to the preservation of health
in advancing years. Now, however, not'
less than at any former time, do I think
it the duty of every citizen to leave no
uncertainty to exist concerning the princi
ples and policy which govern his vote. 1
have seen no suffioient reason to withdraw
mine from the support of the principles
and policy which carried the country safe
ly through the oivil conflict, or from the
party organization and candidates who
represent them. This must be my short
reply to your long and much-estimated
letter. Very sincerely yours,
WiLLIAM'H - . SEWARD.

Letter From the "Sunny South."
BATON ROUGE, LA., Oct. 1, 1872.
DEAR JOURNAL :—Again I have been
on the wing, and have floated around loose
over the "low land, low" of Louisiana, and
from what I have seen, heard and read
about this notorious State have come to
the following conclusion :
Louisiana was discovered by that hero.
old La Salle, in 1791, :and a settlement
attempted by Iberville in 1696, but result
ed in a failure. In 1712 Louis XIV. of
France granted to M. Crogart a charter
which included the whole of the territory
of Louisiana, but it shortly afterward again
come into the possession of the crown
owing to the mismanagement of John
Law, the French financier, and was trans.
ferred to Spain in 1762, but again come
into the possession of France in 1800.
Louisiana then included all the territory
west of the Mississippi river, (excepting
Texas, New Mexico and the territory of
the Rocky Mountain,) was purchased by
President Jefferson in 1803, for which the
United States paid $11,250,000. It is
said that the surface of Louisiana nowhere
attains an elevation of more than two hun
dred feet above the level of the Gulf of
Mexico. This estimst;on holds good for
all the lower portion the State, but some
portion of the northern section contains
some very fine up land, and frequently
bluffs and ridges are to be met with. The
valleys intervening are generally low and
marshy, especially on one side of the
streams • the other side usually covered
with a fine growth of timber,
such as wal
nut, ash, mulberry, poplar, hickory and
magnolia.
Louisiana is divided into forty-eight
Parishes, (it is the only State in the
Union that uses the term parish instead of
county,) some of which are very large.
The Governor of Louisiana (at present H.
C. Warmoth) is elected for four years and
receives 86.000 per annum. The Lieu
' tenant Governor (Pinchback) receives $8
per diem during the session of the Legis
lature. The Senate is composed of thirty
tyro members, and the House of Represen
tatives of about one hundred. They are
elected by the people—the former for four
and the latter for two years. The most
important towns and cities in the State are
New Orleans, containing a population of
192,000 ; Donaldsonville, made historical
during the war, is situated on the south
side of the Mississippi river, 78 miles
above New Orleans and 52 below this city
by water, and directly at the source of the
Bayou LaMarche, which is a large and
important affluent of the Mississippi, and is
navigable nine months in the year for
steamboats. The Lafourche passes through
one of the richest and most fertile sugar
producing regions of the State Donald
sonville is the commercial centre of an ex
tensive radius of fertile country, and en
joying daily communication with the
southern metropolis, both by rail and
steamboat, is a thriving city of about
12.000 inhabitants.
Baton Rouge is properly the capital of
the State, but since its capture by the
Union forces the State Legislature has met
at the Mechanics Institute in New Orleans.
This city is situated on the east bank of
the Mississippi, 130 miles above New Or
leans, in latitude 30° 28', and longitude
about 85°. It stands on the first bluff
met with on ascending the river, and is
about 30 feet above the highest water•
mark, and is the most healthy location in
die Mississippi Valley below St. Louis.
ho esplanade in front of the city presents
a fine view of the majestic Mississippi and
the rich tracts of cultivated land which
lines its banks. The State House occu
pies the most prominent position on an
elevation far above the river, and can be
seen - for around. It is completely
burnt out, the solicnilfdk and gr.airb-natt -
only remain. They stand as a monument
of anti-bellum remembrance, when Baton
Rouge was the gayest city in Louisiana.
Three newspapers are published weekly
here, the State Journal,li Liberal Repub
lican, also the Advocate preaches the same
politics. The Grand Era is a staunch
Republican paper and supports Grant and
Wilson with a will. It is edited by Hon.
J. Henri Burch, the Representative from
this District to United States Congress.
He is one of the smartest negroes in the
State except, perhaps. Pinchback. The
city contains three banking establishments,
.the State Asylum for the deaf and dumb,
the states Prison, two colleges, ten church
es of different denominations, and quite an
assortment of mercantile establishments,
and has a population of nearly 10,000.
The city has also two cemeteries, gas
works, several boiler and machine shops,
saw and planing mills. The National
Cemetery is located east of the city and
contains between two and three thousand
of our brave dead. The United States
'barracks, formerly the Baton Rouge Arse
nal, lies on the bank of the river just at
the upper edge of town, near where old
Fort Spanish once stood. The Barracks
is at present occupied by five companies
(A, B, F, G and I) of the 19th U. S. In
fantry, under command of Col. Q.
Smith, a political General during the war,
and who, it is said, was given a position in
the army as a Colonel in order to get him
out of the way of a certain senatorial aspi
rapt in his native State. It is said, also,
by military men that the Colonel has
“missed hie calling."
Louisiana having been originally colon
ized by French and Spaniards, it has to
day a very large admixture of the inhabi
tants of those countries, who still, to a
great extent, retain their manners and
customs; and the French and Spanish lan
guages are spokem exclusively in some of
the parishes, even official business, to a
great extent is transacted in the same lan
guage. These French and Spanish, as a
general thing, especially the more ignorant
class, still keep up the old scowling face
and look of defiance so persistently prir
ticed during and before the war toward
strangers. They appear to be determined
I to enjoy the luxury of laziness and con
tinue to be the same indolent, unthinking
sort of animal. The good•for-nothing,
drunken gambler of the lazy sunny south
will not labor nor soil their dirty, black
hands for an honest support, but depend
upon every dishonest means which warrants
a lazy, indolent life.

The New Orleans Republican can't quite
swallow the Fusion Ticket. It was sup
posed that Governor Warmoth controlled
that paper until a few days ago, when he
joined hands with the Fusion party. The
director of the concern decided that the
Fusion ticket was a little too much tainted
1 1 with Democracy for him, hence the col
umns of the paper are filled daily with
complaints, hits and fault-findings, in fact,
as admitted by the Fusionists, is doing
better service in the cause of Grant and
Wilson than any paper in the State. The
Picayune shows its dissatisfaction by leave
ing out some of the nominees on the Fu
sion ticket for State officials, and manifests
indifference about the whole thing; nor is
the Times altogether satisfied, as it shows
its disapproval by harping upon questions
which it knows would not be discreet to
answer or investigate just now.
Political mass meetings appear to be the
order of' things throughout the country.
The writer recently had a tour of over
four hundred miles on horseback through
the country. He found almost every little
village, town and grogery to have its little
mass meetings advertised, and every negro
and American white man were usually
found arguing the point on politics, which

having six chills a week."
People are getting resolute enough in
these days to insist upon their rights
even against powerful corporations. The
latest judicial decision of special interest
to passengers on railroad cars has just been
rendered at Norwich, Connecticut. A
gentleman and his wife were injured in
getting off a train at that place because it
did not stop long enough to allow the
passengers to alight in safety, and they
have obtained a verdict for $l,BOO.
One of thole unusual cases, ofdeath from
a spider's bite, is reported from Mas,achu
setts A liveryman, while riding with
his wife recently, wearing a coat which
had been hanging in his stable, remarked
to her that he had been bitten by some
thing, and on reaching home the author
of the mischief was discovered in a pois
onous fanged spider which had crept into
the coat. The wound commenced to swell
in spite of medical aid and resulted fatally
a few days later.
