Captain J. F. Crawford and the Hon.
John B. Brosun of the committee ap
pointed by the citizens of Hart c mntj
to solicit subscriptions for the slock of
the Hartwell railroad, are in the city.
They will cal' opoa cur business men
during the remainder ot the week, and
will, we hope, meet with that degree cf
encouragement which the enterpris*-
they repyes* nt warrants. The proposed
road ex ends from Bouersvilfo on the
E berton Air Line road to Hartwell
distance of ten miles. Bjw
-rsville is twenty six miles
from Elbertcn. The prepetd road
would therefore bring Uariw ell dote*
in a railroad sense to Atlanta than E
berton will be. It-is estimated that
$3i.OOO will grade the new line, and
place the iron upon it reedy lor lua.
w The line does no\ cross a stream
of water. Scarcely a culvert will be
needed. Its cost will not exceed the
estimate. The committee hope to place
$5,000 of the stork in Atlanta, because
the road would draw to this city tteen
tire trade of a rich section that has
heretofore gone down ihe Sivannah
river to Augusta, or across ihe river
the South Carolina railroads. The}
confidently ask for subscriptions on this
score, and we hope onr merchants, real
estate holders and capiodists will give
iheaut jeetdne considers:iou, and wil
act thereafter up to their judgmeut.
Wz print elsewhere a letter from Col,
Joel A Billups accepting the nomina
tion tendered him by the democratic
convention of the ninth district. We
commend it to the careful attention of
onr readers. It ia pointed, vigorous,
direct and manly. It ia the letter of a
man who will Uohiadnty stall b*xmte,
• nd it has about it the ring of the bet
ter days of ihe republic.
Citizen hrzxa will have neid to be in
the tieid early and late in the ninth
district, and even then, he will have
the prood satisfaction of being beaieo
by Col. Joel A. B.llups. Citiun Speer
will find that he has made a great mu
tate in not inviting C.tizan Thom: in,
the pioneer comm uniat of Georgia, to
•hare hia arduous campaign labors. We
have no doubt Citisen Thornton woold
have been glad to assist C.tisen Speer,
had the invitation been extended in
due form, but it ia now, probably, too
la'e, for the indications are, contrary to
expectation, that Citfxsn Thornton will
be opposed in hia own district by C t -
xen Pittman, and the contest promises
to be a violent one.
MM. STAPBMNSS NOMINATION.
While Dr. Felton and E nory Speer
are holding Mr. Stephens up as the
great leader of indepeudentism in
Georgia, the fact ia that Mr. Stephens
is one of the best organised democrats
in Georgia. If tome ambitions person
like D.. Fjlton or Mr. Speer should see
proper to abuse conventions and op
pose them, he would be compelled to
antagonise Mr. Stephens, and he would
bs the worst defeated candidate that
e,er ran tor office. Mr. Stephens was
yesterday unanimously nominated for
congress in the eighth direct, and be
wil. be almost unanimously elected. If
this ia indepeodentism, we want more
ol it in Georgia.
COLON ML BILLCPJ AND CONTENTIONS.
In the last number of the Athens
Watchman appears a card from Mr. W.
W. Price, sheriff of Oconee county, in
which that gentleman is moved to aian-
that “some days” before the Gainesville
convention he wa* told by Colonei
Joel A. Billupe that he
(B.ilupa) could not enter
tne Gainesville convention and prt*
serve hia »<»J-re*pect. In another col
umn, we give the details of an inter
view with Col. Bdlapa, in which Mr.
Price’s card ia explained and disposed
of. It appears that the conversation to
which Mr. Price allades occurred before
the call for the Gainesville convention
wsa issued. Mr. P. ice declared himself
to be in favor of BUlupa for congress
as agsins: any man in the field, anc
irqiired whether the colonei woo d be
a candidate. In response to this, Col.
B l npa said that he was not a candi
d .te, and, furthermore, that be would
i*ot enter a scramble for any office. Mr.
Price has simply misconstrued Gok> el
Billups’s remarks, and, in the iigcu ol
the explanation elsewhere given, tie

During the past three or four days
the yellow fever, which has now be
come epidemic at various points along
the comae ol the Mississippi river, bat
spread with singular rapidity. There
has been ft marked increase of cases
and death* at both Memphis and
V ckabnrg, and at New Orleans the

he advantages that science can Lriag
to bear upon an epidemic. Bui when
the fever invades a rmaller town—i
town that is unused to i s visitations
it finds a condition cf things far d.flu

experienced physicians, no relief fund,
no organizations of any kind

disease a wide field in which to feed
Few of m have forgotten the horror*
Sbrevepor. To-day there is aim:
town in Mississippi where the terrible
experiences of bhrevepou bid lair to be
repeated in (if possible) a more ghastly
shape. We allude to Grenada. The
disease set mi to have come upon the
town unawares. It f-mnd the ci
unprepared, at;d the result is that
ravages there have thus far been of
most terrible character. .
In onr telegrams thi* morning will

fchal, who is new acting mtyor, cl
upon the city ol Wilmington for aid
and relief. So far as the demand np
onr charity ia c jocerned this aj peal

ihat the people ol the aniorInnate c*t>

they need money, food and nurses.

hearts, and what is more to the point,
our punes to the cries for help that
come up from the poor little city in

Doctors ard nurses have heroically gone
to its relief from Memphis and New O -
leans; and money is now greatly needed
in the effort that is being made to help
the tick and overcome one of the most
mabg’iant«p demies that this country
has ever known. Mayor Angier has
called a public meeting of the citizot s
of Atlanta. He asks all to assemble in
the opera house next Tuesday evening.
In the meantime we will gladly receive
and promptly forward to the relief com
mittee at Granada contributions oi the
charitab'y inclined. We place this
morning the following somsto the cred
it of Thx Constitution Granada food
Tbe estimated increase in acreage for
1878 is very exeat, but there are good
reasons for believing that it ia rather
atidwr than over tne real amount.
Tbe high price of wheat and the then
pending Kuseo-Tarkiah war led to this
rnmense enlargement cf the wheat
area. The increase in Ktnsae alone
was fully three quarters of a million
acres. All tbe reports indicate that the
yield of winter wheat was ten per cent
greater per acre than last year,
and that of spring wheat fifteen
per cent greater, except in Southern
Minnesota and the central part
of the northern border of Iowa.
Patting these f «cts together, it is Ic
possible to estimate tbe crop of 1878
less ib-n 400,000 000 bushels — ihe
champion wheat crop of the country’s
history. This a mount is left after de*
ducting 22 000 000 bushels for the dam
age in Minnesota and 1-wa.
Out ot the crop of 1877 we bad a sur
plus of fully 100000.000 bushels, tf
allowing 216000000 bushels for seed
and coasump:ion in the year that ends
with this month. Assuming now tnai
oar requirements for seed and corsnmp
lion to 8tp ember 1,1879, shall be even
as much ae 220 000 OOf bushels, and
shall still have 187,000,000 bushels foi
export. To show how this enormous
increased ability to export compares
with what we have exported in past
years, tbs following figures are given of
'he total exports of wheat aud wh<
fi iur in the fiscal years ending June
30-h each year :

We shall, therefore, have at least 87,
000,000 bushels more for export in ihe
year ending September 1, 1879, than
ever before.

LEAD IN ITS INFANCY.
There is about as much excuse for
gr sen back party in Georgia as there
for an independent party. Both
calculated to weaken the democracy,
uud, to that extent they are both allies
of republicanism. Really, the green
backers have less excuse than the inde
pendents, for tbe latter, while pretend
iug to be democrats when it is conveni
ent for them to do eo, do not heaita'
whenever it suits their c3nvenienoe,
make professions of that mild republi
canism which has overtaken Mr. Key,
and which seems to have < ffl cted that
mysterious letter-writer known ss “the
prominent G orgia democrat." We
bolieve there is too much intelligence
among the people to allow them to
led into the ranks of a greenback party
as opposed to the d* moerzey. The
toatioos of ihe movement are too
p ain. Those who lead it know that
.he new party cannot be sue
I'ea-fn! as against tbe demo
cratic pirty, but they hope at the m
lime to mske something out of ihe
momentary emhm.iasm of iho*« who
do not pause io consider wha*. the
suit of the movement will be. Th
democracy constitutes the only organ
ised greenback party that the sonth
will ejrcr know, and if that par.y is de
feated by the manipulation of those
whose desire for office leads them in
toe absurd direction of attempriug
biild op a greenback organization,
'hal have small chance for reform
onr financial legislation hereaf er. Tht*
fact ought to be perfectly plain to those
who really desire the success, not only
oi the pnuciphs of tbe democracy,
but cf the, ro-1 greenback move
ment to which the democrats are
p'edged. The greenback movement V
make a party oi its own when there is
a party already organized, will fail b

The B *r!in treaty does not enforce it
self, and there is trouble all around
left Turkey in pawn to Russia for 300,-
000,000 roubles in the shape of war in
demmiy. Russia agreed not to take it
out in tenitorv; she seems to have pre
ferred to leave *t so that non-payment
ctn be made the occasion of another
war when she is ready to begin it. Her
t eth are set on the complete destruc
tion of Turkey es an European power,
a id sooner or later she will accomplish
tie task. It is more than probable
that this unsettled and of course nn<
paid indemnity will be used to justify
the next war.
N-r are the terms of the treaty
mote satisfactory. It gives Bosnia
and tbe Heiz^-govma to Austria, Ba-
toum to Russia and Bayaz^d back to
Uie Turks; but none ot these conces**
sions have been fulfilled. Austria in
endeavoring to occupy Bosnia, finds
that she has accumulated a very diffi
cult task-a task that the conclusion of
a conven i >n with Turkey does not
lighten to any great extent Her army
occupation finds almost the
entire people of the two provinces
ia arms against Austrian occupation
for tbe Christian stars hate the Hape-
burg as much as does the Mussulman
Turk. Entire battalions of the Turk
ish army have joined the insurgents,
and tbe indications are that Phiilipovicli
will have as much difficulty in bringing
the people of the half wild and moan
urinous provinces into sub j action as tbe
Turks had iu Montenegro. The insur-*
gents will attack his traina and annoy
him io detai 1 , aud yet will evade a blow
from hid heavy columns.
A similar (rouble exists in impreg
nable B itoum. The inhabitants of the
port and adjacent country dii-
like Russian occupation beyond
measure, and they will resist to the
point of starvation. Until Russia is
able to occupy Batonm, she will nut
give up Bayazid or E z ironm.
Bat all these quarrels will be settled
in tbe course ol time. Plucky B .toum
will be besieged until hunger uccom-
plisbes what the implements of war
could not aff.c ; the black eagle of
Austria will be slowly pushed up
ttmong the Bosnian hills, and the Bus
sian armies will be withdrawn from
Biyra d and tbe territory south of the
B tik» is. Ba: who can tell how long it
will be before Ru*uan diplomacy,back
ed by an t xperienced army, will begin
to demand from bankrupt Turkey the
roubles that an nntonebed section of
the San S.efsno treaty allows?
When that demand begins to have a
bnsinees look, the Turk will do well to
pick out a new capital far in the inle-
r orof his Asiatic possessions. The sui-
au’d baggage should be checked to Bag
dad or Damascus.

Dr Wm L Jones also favored the resolution,

'It is inco- red," replied Colonel Billups, "in
the general imprees.on it conveys and in its most
important statement In the first place, the card
of Mr Price is calculated to leave the impression
that the conversation to which he shades took
place just prior to the Gainesville convention,
whereas 1 have had no conversation with
him since April, or, at the very least, since
tbf first ot May. Hia c rd would lead one to
suppose that I was displeased with the personnel
of the convention, but. us I have just said, I have
not conversed with Mr. Piice since the conven*

of that conversation?"
None in tha world. Several circumstan

of his interview with me. I remember that he

that he wonld support me in preference to any

me first last aud all the time. I understood his
inquiries to be the result of a desire to support
Mr. Speer provided I was not a candidate. This
belore the call for the Gainesville convea
tion waa issued. I told Mr Price very frankly
that 1 was not a candidate for congress and that
I did not propose to become a competitor for the
nomination. I told him, moreover, just aa
frankly, that under no circumstances ciald

words, ‘My own self-respect will not permit mi
me tc enter into any sci amble for office,’ but you
will perceive that Mr. Price, unintentionally, 1
am bound to believe, has misconstrued and
misinterpreted my language. I think when
his attention ia called to It he will cneerfuily
correct it.
IN THE FOLD.
"I waa nominated by tht convention."
tinned colonel Billups, "bat I entered into no

It 8 wet and it’s dry. It's hot and damp

In this letter you are pleased to say,
‘‘in behalf of the entire democratic
party, so cordially united in your tup

Y >n are aware that I neither sought
nor expected the nv. mination. Bat, as

harmony which has enabled the demo
cratic party to accomplish so mnch for
ihe great constitutional principles
the right ot local self government and
for the protection of every citizen ol
Gsorgia in every legal right, aithoui
regard to race or color; and wtth a firm
conviction that this unity and harmony
can be secured and preserved only by
a proper organization, I accept the
poeiiion assigned me by the convention,
witn • profound appreciation ot the
honor conferred.
Should the people in November nex
ratify the action of the convention and
select me to represent them in the for
ty-sixi h congress, it shall be my con*
stant aim to maintain for the ninth
district the honorable poeition won for
it by the distinguished gentlemen v
have, heretofore, been selected to rep
resent it. The banner of the organ
ized democracy of this district has
never yet trailed in the dost, and trne
co onreelvee, active, vigilant, united,
we may confidently say it never shall

cued the south from sectionalism ana
corruption; and given peace, order and
impartial administration ol law to
her people. It can and will accomp.iab
the name grand results for the ancle
country il the control of the general

After the 4rii ot March, 1879, the
democratic party will have a m. j irity
in the. United States senate. 1. is oy no
means improbable, that the house of

and as in doing so t.e vote wi 1 be
cast by states, it is of tbe
first importance that that body
be compjeed cf true democrats, who
will see to it that the will of the people
is not again defeated and their chosen
deprived of his seat by another eta

well in the main, endeavoring, 1 believe,
to administer the government in con
formity to his oath and the constitutions

devotion to the principles of constitu
tional government will, aa a necessary
consequence, languish and die: and
then onr grand republic will be given
over to revolution, anarchy anu des
potism.
The limits of a letter of this charac*
will not admit of a fall discus ion,
even an enumeratioa-of the subjects
that require legislative action. Bat
permit tue to say that the revenue laws,
while they remain in force, should be
materially modified in tboee features
that are ni jaat and oppressive, and the
manner ol their enforcement, funda
mentally charged. Tho-e questions
* fitting the currency of ihe country,
which were so ably argued by the pres
ent representative from this district
during the last session of congress,
should, in ray judgment, be settled
substantially in accordance with the
views so. forcibly pres nted by him, and
contained in Lis printed speeches. While
congress retains control oi the currency
it should provide one that te safe and
sound -adequate to the extensive and
multiplied business interests and indus
trial wants of the country. Every ef
fort to contrrct the currency which wHl
operate to oppress the people and bene
fit the bondholders who pay no tax, or
any any other single class, should be
firmly and nnccmpromisingly resisted.
But I forbear to indulge the inclination
to enlarge upon these and othei ques
tions.
I most cordially endorse the resolu
tion of tbe convention “tendering its
hanks to Hon. H. H Carlton and Hon.
I P. Bail tor their unbounded z *al and
ffjrta for the snecees of the democracy
of the ninth district.”
Again thauking the convention for
the distinguished mark of confidence
in tendering me the nomination, and
yon, gentlemen of the committee, for
the very kind and complimentary
terms in which yon have communicated
its action, I have the honor to be, re
specfully yours, J. A. Billups.

Editors Constitution : Referring to
my cummnn.caaoi) published in yonr
issue oi last Suuday, I desire on the
present occasion to call the attention of
ihe votera of ihis cnugrefrional district
to some ot her phsees of the contest now
being waged by Dr. Fulton ai:d Judge
Lester.
These gentlemen are fast verging on
to sixty years of ace. They are men of
excellent character, of tnarked abilities,
and worthy so f;»r as roUtcs to their
persona! qn lilies, to represent ihia or
any othe: constituency in tbe federal
congress. Personally, tbe people would
not care tbe toes of « copper which one
was elected. Whence, then, the bitter
coutest and the tremendous excitement
which we now witness?
In 1874 Dr. Felton first announced
himeelf, according to my recollection,
as an independent democratic candi
date for congress in opposition to the
regular nominee c.f the i arty. He took
the ground that the district waa being
ruled by an irre-p n&ible“r::ig,’'that the
nominee was not the true choice of the
party, n r acceptable to the people, and
that under the role of the “rirg” nei;ti
er the rote reels nor the wishes of the
peoplo were consulted. Up io 1874, as
I understand, be voted for the nom
inee of the democratic party. It may
be aapumed therefore that the “ring”
so-called did not exist in this distr ct
prior to * 1874 or if it did,
that he did not teel called upon to en
ter the field against the regular nomi
nee. Tne gentleman nom.nated in
1874, as we all know, withdrew from
the race pending the canvass, and an
other candidate, against whom nothing
could be u?g d, was put in nomination.
Dr. Felton was elected by a trifling ma*
j »rity. The “ring” and ils nominee
-cere defeated—’ the h ree and hia
rider he had thrown into the te».”
The doctor was not content with his
victory, however, nor with the
puuiihment he had inflicted on
the “ring.” He agai:* nnnounced him
self a& a candidate iu 1876, aud again he
overthrew the *‘riny,” us aiders and
abettors-this time by a much larger
majority. He not only defeated the
nominee of the convention, but he
humiliated and broke up the “ring" in
all its pans and ramificuiona, smiting
it hip and thigh. His triumph was com
plete, and if his war was against the
“ring,” he could then have well af
forded to repose on his laurels. Indeed,
so thorough was the discomfiture of his
antagon ; 8is that there remained no
longer any gro rod upon which he could
consistently with his own pretensions
prolong the untei mly conflict. He
never pretend: d thau he had any just
cause of complaint against the demo
cratic party. It was against a selfish
and irresponBiole ring, which he al-
1 g ;s had possessed itHelf of the ma-
comery of the party, and waa over-rid
ing and trampling down the rights end
interests of the people, that he had
levelled his batteries. Having destroyed
the ring and ground the ftces of its
manipulators into the dual, and having
no cause of quarrel with the party, the
war was over and peace should have
been proclaimed.
What then waB the duty of Dr. Felton
qn the occasion of ibe present e’ection?
Is it not plain that he ehonld have ad
dressed an open letter to the democra t
of the- seventh district, stating that,
having made war upon the ‘ring” and
not upea the party, and having exor
cised the organ.z tiiou of Ihis evil spirit
in the interests of the people, he was
now ready to resume his old piece in
the party and losul mu himsehaud his
claims to its judgment and decision. If
he had done vh;s his friends would have
gone to woi k, aud the organised democ
racy in convention ns: embted, forget
ting the past, would have nominated
him, I have no doubt, by acclamation.
In thul event, 1 ihoul'1 have been glid
to vote for him. Iu that event 1 should
have been g ad to support him fo r gov
ernor in 1880, if regularly nominated by
the de?rccianc party. If he had pursued
thie ccuite, there can be hardly ary
doubt but tnai he would have been the
next governor of Georgia.
1& carnot be claimed that Judge
Lister was nominated by the “ring” so-
called. Tne “ring” as tuch was dead.
The f.ct is there were only two men
in the district who would take Uie nom
ination at ah,if offered them,and ne tber
of thtm dea rnl it. Dr. Felton cannot
pretend, therefore, that he is now fi »ht
ing a ring or taba*. The ring ib g »no,
and he is now w rnng against the dem
ocratic party. There is and ran be no
ercape Inin this dilemma. Can be be
a democrat and hgbt the democratic
party ? Can he be rightly called a dem
ocrat at all ? Does he not rely mainly
upon the republican acd negro vote for
his success? N -.y, in he not really the
caudtdate cf the republicans? He is
not the candidate of tbe democrats.
No one bus heard him ntter one word
in this canvass in lavor of the demo
cratic party, or against the republican
party. This being true, and the entire
vote of the republicans beirgg.ven to
him, he is logically and in fact the can
didate of the republicans. This is not
said offensivelv, but is it not so?
If the doctor haa only been fighting

may inlest lts.rroka. and its children,
!ike the tncirot Israelites, msy go
astray after false gods, yet it will live
to put down the treason and to recall
its prodigal bona. Firm as the ever
lasting hills around, whose summits,
play the thunderbolts of heaven, iron**
nbtred and fall of conrage and hope,
with the principles of the confctiiuf.cn
inscribed upon its uplifted and advncc-
ing banner, it will remti.. herein this
American continent, and among the
mountains and valleys of the se'enth
congressional district,holdingite ground
and fighting the battle of bnmanit- and
const it ntional liberty, when Dr. Felton
and h.s handful of misguided demo
cratic followers shall have
been sleeping for eges
in unknown graves. There may be*
seasons of dismter to the party; men
mav rise up and* mislead die people
and produce confusion lor a tion; but
these seasons and these men will pats
away like summer clouds, while the
old party, like the fi m-aet enrth. wUl
remain forever. L is true Dr. Felton
forced CoL Trammell fre m the field,
and twice defeated Mr. D.bney; and
he may defeat Judge tees.er, though I
do not think sc; and he may briugcon-
iosion for thetimeupon ihe party: bat
defeat and humiliate it he will never
do. It is not permitted to any eingfo
man to do what all the powers and re**
tources of ihe federal government have
1 ailed to accomplish. And thank Al
mighty God that it is eo.
