DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1886. A Curd. | Editor Enquircr-Sun: As the friendly ] rivalry among the admirers of the respec- | live democratic candidates for the nomination for governor has been ended by an appeal to the ballot box, and as we are once more a united political family, our whole object should be to submit to the will of the ma jority of our party fairly expressed. J trust you will not deem it obtrusive on my pan to submit a few remarks partly personal to myself. In the heat of political debate many things are said for political purposes that oftentimes do not fairly express the posi tion and motives of persons, especially pri vate citizens who are not allowed an opportunity of setting themselves right ul the time. At the recent meeting at Temperance hall on the night before the primary elec tion iny name was freely handled as 1 judge from the newspaper report. Taking that report as correctly made, and without going into particulars, or usring harsh terms to characterize them, for I believe the gentlemen using them are personally friendly to me, though differing widely oh the questions involved, I desire to say that l learned for the first time that I was the "leader of the Bacon movement in Musco gee.” This does me too much honqrj'or I do not deserve it . It properly belongs to others. The Bacon club was organized at a time when 1 was recovering from a spell of illness and I was never a member of it, though I sympathized heartily with its purposes. I •can recall but few instances in which I have mentioned the subject of politics, unless it was first introduced by others, but I do say all honor to those who expressed their convictions openly, whether on one side or the other, for God grant that the day will never come in Muscogee when politics shall mean policy, and that public opinions ■shall be the result of a still hunt to find out which is the strong side. Many of my strongest personal friends were open and avowed supporters of a candidate whose nomination I opposed, and I honor them for the manly way in which they strove to succeed. It satisfies me that the democratic party when united is invincible. Long may it be so, and let us settle these family dis putes inside of the party. So much for politics. I am only a pri vate citizen. I am a candidate for no of fice and would accept none. I simply de sire to attend to my own business, but I do desire the good will of my fellow citizens in this my home where I was born and raised. Hence, you will pardon me for al luding to a remark at tne public meeting referred to, to-wit: “But it was all right for Garrard, the county commissioner, to turn over free of charge the county convicts to Garrard, the railroad man.” If this charge was made it is almost too absurd to notice, but as many of our citi zens do not sec the county convicts for months at a time, it might be supposed i that they were working on the railroad. Tne county convicts are at work on the brickyard canal, and will continue there, ' weather permitting, until it is finished. They have never done a day’s work on the ! railroad, and never will so long as the pres- | cut board of commissioners exists. It was never contemplated to disband the present chain gang and put them on the railroad. It was once considered desirable to allow the Georgia Midland railroad to use con- ! victs from other counties obtained at their •own expense, they, of course, paying the counties from whom obtained what ever they might charg •, and it was expressly stipulated that the county •of Muscogee should be at no expense for such convicts so sent here. One of the main objects of the act of the legislature which was referred to, and which I did write at the request of the j •board of commissioners of the county, was to allow said board of commissioners to work said county convicts outside of the limits of Muscogee county on public roads, 1 under such arrangements as we might j make with the county authorities of the -counties through which we might pass, j We expect, if we can do so, to build a firstr : -class wagon road to Buena Vssta, Cusseta j and Lumpkin, and in this way help the trade of Columbus, if we can do so without :any expense to Muscogee while the con- -vicits are outside of the county. Before ! this act was passed we could not do this. | Is it a bad act ? If it is, I accept the en tire responsibility for it. Now as to my being a railroad man, and I one of the Georgia Midland Construction Company, when the Georgia Midland rail- I road was first organized, I was told that it j iyould be almost impossible to get one man ! •«i.o would put up enough money to build j ;tht road, and that it would be equally as hard to get non-residents to advance the money as a partnership on account of the I pej-soual liability that one man would have j for his partner’s acts, so I was requested ! as a lawyer to draw up a charter for a con- j struction company, which I did, and which J 1 tendered free of charge to any set of men ] wlio would take it and build the road. | I never got a cent for it, and only re quired the company to pay the court cost and the advertising fee. A month after the matter above referred to I was told that the company had been arranged for in New York, and I was asked for the charter which I ' had thought so little about that I had not 'even taken it out of the clerk’s office of the superior court. I gave up the charter, and assisted in drawing up the formal or ganization of the company. I was re quested to subscribe a fractional amount of the stock in said company to complete the organization, which I did. If this makes me a railroad man I am a very -small one, for I must confess that when the charge was made that I was a member of the construction company, and that said company was employing convicts, I did not know whether it was true or not until I went to the office of the company and was tiiere informed that the company hud not a single convict employed, and nothing to do with them, and that the parties using them were sub-contractors under the parties who contracted with the company. Go far as my record as county commis sioner is concerned, I leave that with the people of Muscogee county to say whether I have used the office for private ends. I never sought the office. 1 took it in 1872 at tlie request of the grand jury, and have held it ever since in the same way, and have never received a cent of compensa tion in the way of fees or otherwise.

Dcinocniry of I.it In a lli-ainralinal (iiiulltiiin —What a (orri'»|im)ili‘iil ll;i> to Say About li nail Dll' ltl‘nir<l) lli> I*i'0|iohi>m. < 'orrespondence Enquirer-Sun. Salem, Ala., July 6.—From observation and information received, if we are not deceived, must say that the democracy of Lee county is in u demoralizing condition, . o far as relates to county politics. And why all tliis? Is it because there are no leaders to conduct the party in organiza tion? Is it because the people are not true to the principles of democracy? And are we halting and wavering between democ racy and radicalism? No; such is not the case. There are lead ers whom, we fear, are too much disposed to letlseli-principles,"self-aggrandisement, self-interest, control them rather than the good of the party, and would lead the peo ple to the very doors of ruin rather tnan sacrifice one jot or tittle of what they think to be right. We have men whom we fear would let feeling and prejudice towards their fellow- mail over-rule them with such bitterness as to cause a division in the party ranks; and we would ask the question to-day, has this not been the cause, to a great extent, , of the downfall of every political party that has become extinct in years past and ; gone ? And is it not time that the people of Lee county should awaken to the sense* of so great a political evil existing to-day among the democratic party, rise up and show by their acts and votes that we will not be ruled and governed by such leaders as have no political good of the party in j view, but in order to down a man they will ! down the party ? Is it not time to pause I and think where we are drifting ? Do we i not see men to-day who are striving to defeat his fellow-man, who is as pure a democrat as “Simon” ever was, working with that zeal to defeat him ns if he wasiblack with “Mahoneism” or other “isms,” and would drive him from the i ranks of his party rather than he should come in and take office, when the voice of the people in a majority may be for him? And why is it so? Is it because his po- [ litical acts have been such that the people or party should ignore him? Or is it not on account of a feeling existing between them as individuals that should not be laid before the people or brought before 1 the party to defeat him against the wishes . of the people? I think if we should say that the south ern people are of that blood and stripe that they will not be forced or driven into measures, we would not speak amiss. Then partv leaders, whoever you may lie, pause, reflect and think. Is it not better that you should sacrifice your own feelings, your ! own interest, rather than bring destruc tion to the party? Let not prohibition, stock law, nor any- J thing else De brought into the great politi- , cal questions of the day. Do we not see the warfare that is raging to-day between two great political giants for the suprema cy of power—“democracy,” “radicalism,” and if we are divided among ourselves how long do we expect to stand, or hold the balance of power even in our own county? 4 If a man is a prohibitionist let him be one. If he is a stock law man let him ex ercise that right. These are things that should never be allowed to enter the ranks j of a political party. These are things that no one should ever be clothed with to cjual- ify him for an office, for they are sectional in their nature. The people should never run such a one for an office under such a banner, for whoever is elected should be a servant of the whole people and not of a few. He should be an officer for the anti prohibitionist as well as the prohibitionist, for the anti-stock law men as well as the stock law men, to make and administer laws for one as well as the other. Then again, there arc some who are never satisfied politically, who place them selves in the race before the people, and should they be defeated are too ready to cry out “fraud,” and rather than suffer defeat would almost sacrifice friends as well as .party. Such men the people should not have to rule over them. They should seek such men like unto the great I and noble Lee, who, when he found he was conquered, laid his sword at the feet | of his conqueror. Finally, we would say that the above, is not i written in favor of or" against any one, hut looking only to the good of the country, the interest of the people of all classes, knowing no north, no south, no east, no n est, but the people of the whole state as well as county. , J.

Delta, Macon County, Ga., July 6.— Delta is a new country post office, at Og- «rns store, in the northern part of Macon county, six miles south of Reynolds, Tny- . >r county, its railroad depot, express and telegraph office. The office was estab lished about four weeks ago. We have a i d-weekly mail, which is quite n con venience. Heretofore we received our mail ..•om the Reynolds office. During the busy ■ eason with farmers they were almost dc- ; rived of mail privileges, it being so far to he office. The office was obtained by end through the influence of the Hon. i ’hnrles F. Crisp, our representative in congress. This act alone, to say nothing if other valuable service rendered in the . ast. would return him to congress by the oters of this immediate section, imwith- •. anding he Is now opposed by one Mr. ate Arthur. We a 1 delight in political excitement, l.mt regret to say that as Mr. McArthur will get up no excitement, we will have no run in the approaching congressional elec tion. Excitement on the gubernatorial is sue lias nearly subsided, Bacon waving re ceived the delegation from this county. Candidates for county offices now claim the privilege of an extended hand shaking with their friends. The campaign prom ises to be a lively one, notwithstanding tnev must run until January. Commencing with the prohibition elec tion on the fifth of May, Macon county will remain in a fevered state until the election of county officials in January. We had the heaviest rain last night thn lias fallen in many years, lb commenced raining about 8 o’clock and rained inces santly until 4 this morning, at times falling in torrents, the wind blowing a perfect hurricane all night. Some say the night was not even surpassed in terror by the de structive wind and rain storm of Septem ber, 1882. All crops have been greatly damaged. One farmer says he thinks the wind and rain damaged his corn two hun dred bushels and other crops in proportion. Flint river is over all the swamp lands and still rising. The corn is all submerged. ; The farmer’s outlook is indeed gloomy. Owing to previous rains and the present condition of the earth it is impossible to , kill any grass. Mr. F. M.

The south is beginning to attract a gront deal of attention as a good field for in vestment in railroad property. The reasons are obvious: The south is growing very iipidly; the freight in large quantities is already here waiting to be moved, and the absence of strikes makes the regularity of business very certain. Cnder these circumstances capitalists consider their money more secure hero than elsewhere. Tin Wasting Diseases of infants and chil dren nre by no means confined to an insuf ficient .supply of food.

Macon Telegraph, 5th. Colonel E. C. Machen, in flue health and spirits, arrived in Macon yesterday from New York. A Telegraph man at once sought him, and gleaned from him some information concerning his road. “ You see,” said he, “our road goes to Athens. A committee of gentlemen from that city, Messrs. Reeves, Hodgson, Jordan, Thomas and Barrow, called on me at my office in New York, and as they were busi ness men on a business errand, it did not require but little time to fix up matters. The people of Athens, and by the way they are a splendid people, offered me a right of way from Monticello to Athens, and $153,- 000 in subscriptions. I immediately signed the contract with them, and now as soon as the route is settled upon, the Covington and Macon will enter the Classic city. There are two routes, one by Social Circle and one by Madison. The survey by the former route has been made, and the engi neering corps nre now ready to sight their theodolite and stake off' the route. The Athens people are now hard at work on these two ways, and all I am waiting for are the deeds to the right of way.” “What about that portion of your road being now ironed?” “Splendid. Go down and look at it and you will find there is no. prettier road. It is well laid, and yet is a new road. We have, 1 suppose, seven or eight miles on t he east Side of the river ready for the cars. The construction engine is running over this part of the road now, and on Wednes day 1 will have here in Macon two of my new Baldwin engines. There was no par ticular need of them just now, but they were built a little earlier than 1 expected, and I will have them here ready for use." “What about the bridge being washed away?” “Doesn’t amount to a row of pins. ! saw it tills morning and f would contract my self to have it again in shape for $2<KI. While it was annoying to the bridge con tractors, their actual loss will be small. By the latter part of this week I feel certain the bridge will be intact again. A few car loads of the iron for the iron bridge is here and the balance will quickly follow.” “How about the Florida extension?” “Well, I am not able to say a great deal about that just now. You must wait until 1 get buck from New York, which will I" in about two weeks. I can say this much, however, I have raised the money to ex tend my road into Florida, and I am anxious to make the extension, but tin people along the line must do their part. I have told them exactly what they must do and what 1 expect of them, and they will comply I think. I shall not lie able on this flying trip to go down and sot* what they have done, but will do so u lien I come again.” “I am glad,” continued Col. Medium "to see that your ptople Were pleased with the idea of going to Athens, i have .some other happy surprises in store for you, but I am not able to even hint at what tin y arc just now. You will see that by my road you will have the northern mail twelve hours earlier than you gel ilium. It will come by the Richmond and Dan ville direct. By the way, let me correct one of your errors. My road is not the Richmond and Danville, but an independ ent line, though 1 do not care much w lull you call it. We connect with that road, that is all.” And then the colonel said “good day." and began a talk with his civil engineer. Col. Frobel. Activity hi Kniliiii) Const run ion. There arc indications of an encouraging revival of activity in the department of railway construction. The Railway Age has obtained full and official statements concerning work of this kind now going on, and publishes a table showing that in the first six months of 1886 there were laid 1755 miles of new main track. Inasmuch as the mileage laid in the first six months of a year is generally less than one-third Augusta is undecided whether she can |day her hill engagement or not. There is much talk of disbanding. Savannah is also shaky, and may nut pull through the season. Last year the con duct of some of tiic clubs was such that Colum bus, Birmingham and other cities withdrew from the Southern league for the want of patronage, brought about by the disgraceful conduct of the players. The same old state of affairs seems to characterize the Southern league this year. The following in regard to Saturday's game at Charleston may be a pointer as to where the fly in the ointineut came from: "The Charlestons got away with the champion (late City kickers easily to-day, and without playing up to 50 per cent, of their standard, win ning two out ofthree games played. The game was noticeable chiefly for the usual kicking which characterizes the Gate City bullies, and that too in spite of the fact that the umpire’s rul ings were, in nine cases out of ten, adverse to the locals. Before the game commenced Umpire Hengle called up Purcell and told him, so the rumor goes, that lie was tired of his bullying and insolence, and as Purcell had declared the day previous that his team cared nothing about the umpire's fines, as they could easily have them remitted, lie would not try to fine them any more, but would turn them over to the audi ence, which numbered toot) people, and which lias been so thoroughly disgusted with the con duct of the visitors tliaj an appeal from the um pire for protection would have met with a very- vigorous response. This at least is the story. “A gentleman who saw the Atlanta-Charleston game oil Thursday said that if Sam Jones got his ideas of base ball from the playing of the Atlanta club it was no wonder that he hud said that the base ball field is the surest way to hell. The News and Courier says: “The Atlanta roughs kicked and tried to bulldoze the umpire from the beginning of the game to the end. They kicked singly and in pairs: they kicked in threes and fours, and then tliey kicked in a body. They kicked at every opportunity and about everything. They kicked because the umpire would not allow more than two coaches on the lines and because be did not call strikes on Charleston as oilen as they thought lie should. 'They kicked at every close decision against them, surrounding the umpire m a body, and when they found that he was not to be bulldozed into chang ing, they melodramatically it'll down on their knees and commenced to pray.” COTTON FACTS.

Several More CanfiiiNt, to be Allotteil the t'ulteil Staten tillhln a Few Year". Baltimore, July 5.—The Catholic Mir ror in this week’s issue, prefaces! its intro duction to the report of the elevation ot Archbishop Gibbons to the Cardinalate as follows: “There is little doubt but that Cardinal Gibbons’ appointment is the first of several that will be made in other Rees as soon as the opportunity offers. At the consistory held on the 7th ult,. at which Cardinal Gibbous . was nominated and con firmed, Leo Xlll. said: 'The flourishing state of Catholicity in the Edited States, which devolopes daily more and more, and the condition and form according to which tlie ecclesiastical canons of that country are formulated, advise us, or rat her de mand, Unit some of their prelates be re- j ceivecl into the snored college.” In the editorial on "The Significance of the Event," the Mirror says: “Whether this means that the number of cardinals 1 will be raised above its present standard of seventy in order to accomplish the end in view, or whether vacancies shall lie waited ; for until the desired number of Heats are prepared for new occupants can not he said. But. however that matter lie j settled, it seems certain, according to au thentic rumors in the best informed circles i of Rome, that the United States is to have more cardinals." j Baltimore will celebrate tile centennial I of the foundation of the first Catholic See in the 1’nited States on the sixth of No vember, 18-11, and it is thought here that before that time Boston and San Francisco, as well ns Baltimore, will have representa tives in the Sacred College of Cardinals. Grant ('mil,I I’lii) I’likrl. Says General l’owell Clayton to a New York Tribune man: "It was just after the Brooks and Baxter affair, when things were all out of shape, that Grant was asked to make the appointment of McClure for judge in Arkansas and promised to do so, when the story was started that McClure was a big poker player. Secretary Bristow mnde very strenuous objections to the ap pointment. About this time a paragraph came out in the papers telling of the poker-players in Washington. Among the tilings they said was that 1 was so fond of poker-playing that 1 would sit up in my sick lied for a game, and tiiat, as I had only one hand, I learned to hold the cards in my teeth. It was also stated General Grant was very fond of the game. I went to the white house to see General Grant about McClure. Grant said t o me in his quiet way, ‘Senator, they say Mc Clure plays pouker.’ 1 replied, ‘Yes, Mr. President, and 1 am sorry to see by tile papers that they aecuse you of liking a little game, and they also say that I play poker.’ Grant chuckled to himself and said, ‘Well, I have played a half dozen games or so in the course of my life.’ So have 1; just about a half dozen games,’ was my rejoinder ami we did riot discuss Mc Clure any more.
