No people on earth have a better
reasou to complain of bad treatment
than the people of the South. Not
withstanding the fair promises that
were made at the close of the war, and
the assurances that have been given
them since, they are to-day the worst
abused and most insulted people that
have ever had record in history. Ac
cepting in good faith the condition in
which the war and its consequences
left us. we set about, not only to repair
our individual fortunes, but to build
up, if possible, and add our might to
the re-establishmcnt of the govern
ment upon a basis permanent and ben
eficial to all nlike. But iu this we have
been trented more like brutes than
meu ; every ngni nas oeen laKCU irom
us, and we are left with no privileges
but such as appertain to silent thought
and inward opposition. We of the
South have silently submitted to one
wrong after another until it would
seem that the end of forbearance was
very near. We have seen under the
odious and objectionable laws of Con
gress the best men of our country dis
franchised ; we have seen debt, heavy
debt, the consequences of reckless,
liadical rule, gathering about us, and
have not murmured. We have seen
pop-gun lawyers from Massachusetts,
criminals from Kentucky, and God
knows wbftt else from the North, hois
ted into office by the dominant party
and made, under the guise of represen
tation, to persecute audabuse us in the
halls of national legislation. To ail of
these things we have quietly submit
ted, striving to do under the circum
stances the best we could, feeling con
tent to wait for that change which we
knew, and yet know will come. But
now that the sceptre of power seems
about to depart from tuem, and in the
agony of their departing moments,
they turn upon us of the South with
fresh abuse and additioual insult, lu
order to carry out their hellish purpos
es and accomplish tlicir darling
schemes, they do not hesitate to charge
upon the South all manner of incendi
arism, and present us to the world as
the most rebellious and criminal of ail
its people. Is it necessar,^ to stimu
late the party North? they select for
aomo position or other one of their
choicest spirits, whose record and
character is as black as the walls of
hell, and if for crimes committed at
midnight upon helpless women and
children the avenger's bullet finds its
way to his heart, straightway the char
acter makers of tho party paint him a
saint on earth, and gathering around
him two or three hundred bloodthirsty
rebels, ns they call them, muke them to
...S aA«il 0.1.
picture North for political purposes;
aud for this we are howled upon us
traitors, as rebels, aud as assassins.
Again, they assemble their leagues aud
instil into the minds of the negroes
their diabolical doctriues, prompt them
to insult and otherwise injure the
peaceable citizens ol the country: and
if these insults meet with a merited
resentmeut it is immediately tnaguided
into a riot, aud upou our heads are
poured the maledictions of the party.
It is patent to every reading man that
these and similar means arc employed
by the Radical party for the accom
plishment of poiilicul purposes. Be
cause of the deep seated prejudice ex
isting in the North against rebellion
or anything that resembles resistance
to the general government, they think
to array the popular mind agrinst De
1 mocracy and in favor of Radicalism,
and thereby secure the election of
their candidates. We say to the peo
ple, If these arguments (and none oth
ers are used) are the strougest reasons
that Radicalism can urge iu support of
its party, is it not high time that the 1
people of the South and all honost
men were separating themselves from
it. Let us, therefore, resent these in
sults by a unanimous repudiation of ;
Radicalism aud their candidates, and
give hearty support to that party and
those meu who scorn such subterfuges
and deal honestly with the people.
tQrl aiu uot iu favor of negro citizen
ship. Ium not, aud never have been,
iu favor of making voters of jurors of
negroes ; nor of qualifying them to hold
office; nor to iutermorry with the
whites, and 1 say further that there is a
physical dlll'ereuce between the white
and black races, which I believe will
forever forbid the two races living to
gether on terms of social and political
equality.

Cam afelbc Way.
The Radical* saw the sceptre de
parting from their hands in the begin
ning of tbe canvass, nnd as a desperate
alternative, tn pandemonium assem
bled, devised the hellish scheme of
arming their ignorant dupes to do by
force Whatt they could not trust to
official fraud. They passed an odtons
and unjust registration law, and find
ing its provisions insufficient to ac
complish the ends sought, resorted to
every subterfuge imaginable to evade
carrying it into effect when detriment
al to their party interests. Registrars
give colored men certificates indiffer
ently, but require of white men to
move that they are entitled to qnalify
and register. They have thrown this
rigorous registration law, official fraud
and the scalawag «nd 'carpet-bag vote
into the scales and find their side light;
hence, they want these arms and am
munition to bring it down. They have
planned a Camilla riot for the eve of
the Presidential election, and organ
ized companies to be armed and used
on the day of election. This is what
the midnight orgies, held in the bot
toms and in the rear of plantations,
means. When good men are sleeping,
after hours of honest toil, these vile,
cold-blooded, slimy, snake-eyed, car
pot-bag refuse of other States are poi
soning the minds of their dependants
against them, and connseling their
murder, if necessary, to reach their de
sires. Was ever country so cursed?
God pity the land that supports such
unnatural monsters. Citizens of Ark
ansas ! is the scales not yet fallen from
your eyes? Are you not fearful of the
consequences that may result from the
night-time plottings and machinations
of these dangerous and evil-minded
adventurers? How know yon but
what you are standing over a mine
that may explode at any moment? Be
on your guard, ready to act like men
and patriots when the hour calls you.
A people whose actions are worthy of
freedom enjoy its privileges.
Read the following from the Mem
phis Appeal and know what the ene
mies of Arkansas have prepared for
her:
The Appeal announced on Saturday
morning that several thousand stand of
on the way down the river ou the
steamer Belle Memphis—arms raised
by the Radicals of the Northwest aud
sent to the Loyal League of Arkansas
to be distributed among the negroes of
that State. The scheme was so atro
cious, the plan so devilish, the whole
plot so cold-blooded, and withal so
daring, that we could scarcely believe
the story ourselves, although it camoi
to us well attested.
Yesterday morning about breakfast
time the liellc Memphis came into
port, and the report was verified in
every particular, one hundred aud
jixtv-scven cases of arms, marked “C.
R. iSxon,” being put out upon the dock
as a portion of the down freight of that
vessel. We are informed that two
men. giving their names as Hodges
snd Bennett, the latter an ex-captain in
the Federal army, camo down on the
Btennier in charge of these cases, and
claim that they were purchased for the
State government of Arkansas.
It was on this statement, we under
stand, thnt the Memphis and St. Louis
Packet Company was induced to take
the freight. They also promised that
they had already made arrangements
with the White River Packet Company
to send a boat alongside of the steam
er as soon as she reached Memphis.
They, however, reckoned “without
their host,” as we understand that that
company have flatly refused, as has
every boat in that trade, to have any
thing to do with tho affair. We can
only say that this is a very wise course
of action on their part. Meuuwhile
the cases are on the wharf, guarded by
the police. In this connection we pre
sent the following extracts from a pri
letter to one of the editors of this pa
per. It will be seen that more arms
are on the way. God help poor Ark
ansas !
“One hundred aud sixty-eight boxes
of muskets, to be followed by five
more car loads, were shipped from
this city to-day for Little Rock. These
arms come from Detroit, are taken by
some process from the Government ar
senal, and are for distribution among
the negroes. The whole number of
muskets cn route to Arkansas is above
5000. The purpose of Clayton and his
associates is to carry the election in
Arkansas by force. The people should
be advised of the facts.”
The following from the Public Led
ger gives the disposition that had been
made of them at our latest accounts :
The one hundred and sixtv-soven
boxes of arms and ammunition mark
ed “C. It. Exon,” supposed to have
been shipped by Radicals in the North
west to arm the “Loyal League” and
negroes in Arkansas, and which ar
rived here on the Belle Memphis yes
terday, are now being carried to the
premises of Comer & Richardson, com
mission merchants, on Howard’s Row,
for storage. They are to remain there
until some party here, claiming to rep
resent the State of Arkansas, finds a
favorable opportunity to ship them to
their destination. The freight und all
;harges have been paid on them, and
a e suppose the “officer in charge” is
anly waiting instructions from Clay
ton, the Radical Governor of Arkansas,
is to what point they shall be shipped
to. The whole liumoer of muskets is
laid to be fire thousand, enough to
urn two brigade* of negroes. The
white people across the river have our
leepest sympathy. We fear a terrible
time ia in store for them, if the Radi
;als can carry out their schemes.
Democrats Sweeping Illinois.—
rhe Shelby (Ky.) Sentinel says:
A friend, just from Illinois, informs
is that the Democracy are getting large
iccessions from the Radical party. At
i recent Democratic gathering at
jpringfleld, two thousand men who
lave heretofore voted the Radical
icket, marched in procession under
[lemocratic banners, aud^ylll vote for
jeymour and Blair.
Dr. W. Garrard, one of the Demo
■ratic nominees on the Illinois State
icket. writes from Lawrenceville, in
hat State, to the editor of the Paris
Kentuckian, as follows: “Democracy
n Southern Illinois is sweeping Radi
calism from the face of ‘Egypt.’ John
Logan’s power ia gone, and the ides of
November will show the State redeem
ed, and national Democracy once more
administering the Government, under
our glorious constitution.”
WA sentimental chap intends to
petition Parliament for a grant to im
prove the channels of affection, so that
henceforth the “course of true love
may run smooth,"

But Wherever else you work don’t for

Qo after the women, then. They will

of the diamond rings and laces Frank
Blair stole from them when he was here.
And don’t hesitats to throw yonr arms
around their necks now and then, when
their htubandt are not around, and give a

all their sins, they have a vast amount of
human nature, and only want it apprecia
ted to be the meet loving creatures imag
inable. Scalawags and carpet-baggers!
don’t fail, therefore, as you canvass the
State, to look after the women. You era
all good looking, and they know it, but
with native modesty, like sweet New Eng

Don’t be afraid of their eyes—they glare
like young leopards by daylight, but under

TRE CAMILLA RIOTS.
Letter In Defease of tbe People
by Hoa. B. H. Hill.
The following was written to, and ap
peared in, the New York Tribune of the
25th inst:
To the Editor of the Tribune:
Sir: I have read all vou have said in
the Tribune on the subject of the oollision
at Camilla, in the State of Georgia. I
beg permission to make a statement which
will present this whole affair in its true
light to you and the Northern people.
Early in the canvass the whites of that
State, (nine-tenths of whom are Demo
crats,) received positive information that
the negroes were being encouraged to
arm themselves and hold nightly drills in
military styles. They were told that the
object of the Democratic party was to re
euslave them, and that they must resist its
success by force, and especially kill ne
groes who should vote the Democratic
ticket. Very soon this cause, which
originated in the leagues, was openly pro
claimed. White and colored speakers at
public meetings advised the negroes to get
ready to fight, and were reminded that
they could use the torches for dwellings,
as well as the guns and axes against peo
ple. A painful rumor obtained currency
that the acting Governor (Bullock) was
in sympathy with, if not actually aiding
this movement. I do not knuw that this
was actually so. This state of things
naturally created alarm. Several out
breaks were attempted, and several con
spiracies to kill white people wore detec
ted, and the negroes, when arrested in
different portions of the Stato, said they
had authority and orders to this effect.
We also most satisfactorily obtained infor
mation that tho object of the few whites
who incited the negroes to their crimes
was two-fold. 1st. To place the negroes,
by discipline and excitement, beyond the
influences which might induco them to
vote with the Democrats, or not to vote at
all. 2d. To provoke collisions expressly
to influence the Northern people with
oharges of '‘Rebel outrages.1 Now the
interests and the policy of the whites was
just the reverse. In the first place, it
was Democratic property, and Democratic
families, which would be endangered if
occurred. Iu the next place, if the ne
groes became demoralized by these
politico-military organizations and lrer|ueut
assemblages, tho crops would net be well
gathered ; and Democrats owned the crops,
and their'impoverished condition made
them anxious to gather as much as possi
ble for the anticipated high prices. Rut
lastly, we knew that the result of the
Presidential election depended chiefly on
the vote of the Northern States, and wc
were exceedingly anxious to avoid every
possible occurrence which could excite the
passions of the Northern people. Our
property, our safety, our tamihes, our
maturing crops, and our party ]>ofiry all
combined to make us anxious—unusually
inxious—to lc<ep the peace, llow could
we effectually keep the peace 1 None but
those who felt the responsibility will ever
know the difficulties with which our situa
tion invested this question But we re
solved by common coucert and counsel.
1. To bear every insult, and even out
rage, possible, and never to resist or re
sort to foree in any form, except when
ictually necessary to protect property,
person, or fumily.
2. To stop, by the constituted State
authorities, all these nightly drillings,
leeret military organisations, and armed
assemblages, of every character, as calcu
lated to break the peaoe
We had no confidence that the Gov
ernor would voluntarily aid us. There- 1
fore, letters were addressed to the Legis
lature urging action. The Legislature
iid act by passing resolutions requesting
and urging the Governor to issue nis pro
clamation, but in a style and with false
charges which greatly confirmed the worst
fears of the whites as to his sympathy i
with those movements.
But we had the proclamation, and we
hoped that all threatened dangers would
iisappear. Now, there was not the sligh
test desire, as you seem to think, of inter- ,
Wing with the constitutional right of
clack and white “to keep and bear arms,” :
>r to have Republican meetings—as many :
ind as long'as they desire- We only '
lesired to prevent military drills, and
>rganizations not authorized by law, and \
trmed assemblages calculated to break the
jeace ; and these we desired to prevent by
ei/ai authority, executed by the civil offi
:er. You now have the exact reason why
;he Sheriff met the approaching, armed
procession, and alter exhibiting the Gov
ernor's proclamation, told the leaders they
could hold the meeting peaceably, but
begged them not to attempt it in violation
of that proclamation.
Camilla is a very small village of not
exceeding, 1 would soy. 800 inhabitants—
black and white—men, women and chil
dren.
A large assemblage of negroes gathered
from surrounding counties, led by them
white men, and ell armed, and to be exci
ted by inflammatory speeches, and man)
of them by other causes, placed the pea
pie, families, and houses of that little Till
age in danger of pdlage rape and burning
with the alternative, if prevented, of feur
ful “rejjftl outrages,” to kill negroes, anc
prevtnt free speech, scattered all over the
North just as the State eleotion was ap
proaching which, it was believed, woulc
determine the Presidential election !
I know both Pierce and Murphy, th<
two white men who conducted this whoh
affair. They are of the most emphath
specimens of what are termed carpet
baggers. Before -the passage of the Re
construction measures, there was no com
plaint heard against them. These mea
sures disfranchised even, intelligent
white citixen who had held office in that
county. Pierce settled as a Bureau agent
in Lee connty, and Murphy in Doughert)
county, adjourning the county in which
Camilla is situated ; and in the oounties ol
Lee and Dougherty there are five negroei
to one white. I have no idea that one
doxen white Republicans could be found
in the three counties. This, you see at i
glance the temptations offered to Pierc<
sod Murphy to get offices by the large no
gro votes. Accordingly since the passage
of the reconstruction measures these men
have sorted with the negroes. Pierce
was For a time a candidate for Congress al
the last election. He has now received
the nomination for that position from i
convention of negroes Murphy was eleetod
Sheriff by the negroes at the last eleotion
but was unable to give the bond. He if
now, I believe, on the electoral ticket
We have narrowly escaped several blood)
riots in that region before. Our people
here believed these men, especially the
latter, incited them. They were both
distinctly in view, with others, when we
counted the difficulties in the way ol
preserving peace, and when we sought tc
secure tbe proclamation.
But in spite of that proclamation, and
all the remonstrances of our people, and
the fears of our women and children, the)
persisted in holding armed assemblages ol
negroes, and the Camilla riot is th«
unfortunate resnlt.
The Camilla riot, properly understood
will exhibit to the Northern people more
clearly than a thousand speeches could,
the exact reason why the Southern whites
are, at present, unwilling to extend uni
iVioaiy iuuiDui uuiiiara cuuiago iu nuc no
groes. It is because they can be taken
possession of by a very few bud white men
seeking office at their hands, and made
terrors to society, and destroyers of safety
for property and security for families
Many of the more intelligent understand
and repudiate these influences, but the
greater number do not.
In these very counties of Lee and
Dougherty, in which Pierce and Murphy
reside, I do personally know (for I plan
in both those counties) that in I860—afte
the surrender, mark you—lands were sell
ing from CIO to 820 per acre. Immedia
tely atter the passage of these reconstruc
tion measures these very lands cotumen
ced declining, and I do know that some
cf them have recently been sold (with
cotton as high as it was in 1866) at one.
loltar per acre in r/nld!
To have our families and our lives thus
constantly menaced, and our property
depreciated, is certainly a fearful condi
tion. Let every man in the North place
himself, his family and his property in
this condition in his native country, and
then, when he makes the most peaceable
efforts possible, in a lawful way, to avert
these dangers, let him hear himself de
nounced as “a rebel,” an enemy,” and “a
traitor,” and guilty of “rebel outrages,”
ind he will have some idea of the exact
condition of tho Southern whites, many of
whom did all in their power, like the
writer, to prevent secession, and who have
never seen the day when they would not
give their lives to preserve the Constitu
tion
Our people bear these evils. Is there
my other people on earth who would bear
them so patiently ? Why do they bear
them'! Because they look hopefully to
the Northern people to rescue them
rhey love every mau North who is willing
to rescue them. They want, above all
things, peace. They will make any other
sacrifice, accede to any other demand the
North can make, to secure peace. But
they canuot and they will not consent, by
their own act, to dishonor themselves by
lisfranebising their wisest and best men.
ind agree to a scheme which must place
their wives, and their children, and their
little remnant of property, under the do
mination of ignorant, semi-barbarous ne
groes, excited and led on by a few bad
white men, who have no desire but to get
>ffice at the hands of these negroes, Why
ihould they, for peace, consent to that
which must destroy all pence ?
Yours, very truly, B. II. HILL.

The Louisville Journal gives the fol
owing advice iu regard to the action
;o be taken by these States in the coni
ng Presidential election, which have
icon excluded from the contest by the
partisan provisions of the Electoral
College bill, passed at the last session
>f Congress:
Now our opinion, an opinion as to
ho rectitude of which, we linvo not
iven a moment’s doubt, is_, that the
;hree States named, Virginia, Mlssis
>ippi, and Texas, without the slightest
leference or regard to the infamously
partisan and unconstitutional legisla
tion of Congress and without taking
the least account of the absence of en
ibling orders or paying any attention
whatever to threats issuing from under
he shadow of cocked hats and epau
ettes, should, on tho day of the election
»f Presidential electors throughout the
United States, proceed to the election
>f electors just as if there were uo such
hing as a Congressional disabling law,
i fierce hat, or a shoulder-strap. Let
hem select their electors, for we do
lot suppose that thev need be deterred
tom the exercise of that prerogative
>y the fear of satraps and their bayo
lets. Let them by all means elect their
(lectors and leave the consequences to
he people of the nation, themselves
Deluded. We can assure them, that,
f they shall elect Seymour and Blair
(lectors, and if the counting of the
rotes of their electors would give Sey
nour and Blair a majority iu the elec
oral colleges of the country, the votes
>f their electors will be counted and
Seymour and Blair pluced iu the l’res
deucy and vice-Presidencv, be the cost
vliut it may. If we will not fight for

g^-An exchange remarks that John
Bright once compared a certain party
in Kuglaud to oue of those singular
little poodle dogs, so hairy at Doth
euds that when it was set dowu upon
the floor, it had to stop a moment to
cousider which end ought to go ahead.
The Radical negro equality ticket is of
the same sort. The Convention made
a mistake, and took Grant for the head;
but the moment it was put on the track
the Colfax end started off ahead, and it
has been running that end ever since.
The bark ail comes from the Colfax
end, while the Grant end sits dowu in
silence—the very impersonation of re
ticence.
The democratic district convention
for the third congressional district,
assembled at Clarksville on the 28 fdr
the purpose of nominating a candidate
for congress. It closed its labors on
the following day! Tho attendance
was large and great enthusiasm pre
vailed. We have the pleasure of
announcing that our fellow townsman,
Capt. L. B. Nash, received the nomina
tion by acclamation, and without a bal
lot. Representatious from all parts of
the district make us confldeut of bis
success.—Arkansas Gazette,
