ROME, G^V.
TUESDAY MORNING, Sept. T.
To the Bcaden »t the Courier.
With this issue of-oar paper we present " or '
Mr. Henby W. Grady in the capacity of
Associate Editor. The vigor, versatility
and pjlisVof his pea has recently been ex-
. hibited in his correspondence for the At
lanta Constitution, over the noni de plume
of “Kino Hans”; and we. may reasonably
hope, with his assistance, to materially in
crease the interest of these columns.
Feeling confident that this effort to inter
est and please, will he successful, we let
Mr. Grady, makr his own bow to the pub-,
lie. M.Dwinell,
Proprietor.
The above notice renders necessary the
infliction of a salutatory upon you. We
shall be as brief as possible. We are young,
and without editorial judgment or experi
ence, yet we ho oe that the enthusiasm with
which we enter our new profession, and
the constant labor with which we are deter
mined to bend to our work, may, partially
at least, atone for these deficiencies.
The Courier shall be in the future, so
far as our management is concerned, devo
ted, as it has been in the past, to the dis
semination of useful and interesting infor
mation, to the bold assertion and mainte
nance of correct political opinions, and to
the development of the best interests of the
country. We enter the editorial ranks of
the State with ill-feeling towards none, but
with kindness towards all. We sha 1 cheer
fully, and with vigor co-operate with the
press in the furtherance of any project which
tends toward good, and wo shall endeavor
with courtesy and politeness, to adjust nice
ly any differences of opinion which may
■ arise between us and any of onr contempo
rarics. Begging, in conclusion, that the
j ustice you render us may be tempered with
mercy, we don our harness and enter the
lists.
Most respectfully, yours,
Henry W. Grady.

The above tribute to the Accident that
now occupies the Gubernatorial Chair,
though clipped from a .Radical paper an 1
written by a Radical reporter, whose offi
cial duty it was to become enamored of the
Accident, and all of his party, has a consid
erable significance notwithstanding.
The truth of the matter is, that aDy man
yrho knows nothing of Bullock’s political
filthiness, will inevitably become “delighted
with him, etc.” We have never, in the
whole course of our life, seen a man who
was gifted with so great an amount of be
guiling blarney as is this man. Present
him to a Democrat, and the sweetness of
his countenance is absolutely appalling—
infinite smiles ripple over his cheeks, and
break in soft laughter on his lips—a thous
and little benevolent sparkles are beamed
from his eyes—his nostrils play with kind
ly palpitation, and—believe me, for I tell ye
the truth—his whiskers resolve themselves
into a standing committee to invite you
just to walk down into his heart, and take a
place in that large and open receptacle.
Oh! hi.- ft-ce istremeudously delusive.
We were presented to him, and went to
the presentation primed with about a dozen
pardon proclamations, and about three of
hi.- reports ou the condition of Georgia.— '
We had seriously contemplated tak-ng
friend along '.o present the murderous on
slaught, which wa were afraid our outraged
feelings would urge us to make upon the
Accident, when introduced to it And lo 1
when the crisis came we (bund ourself bask
ing calmly beneath his radiant countenance
like a rose beneath au April sky. A clear
voice saluted us with a dreamy kind of ten
derness, we found curself exclaiming, “sure
ly this man is notour enemy/’ We looked
for the famous “sinister expression,” which,
according to novelists, invariably resides
about the nose and eyes of a villisn. But
we found ituof—the uose posseted a very
milu curvative, and the eyes were gushing
with cheery tracd humor. Instantly, as a
last resort, tve had to commence recounting
his crimes, in order to proteetourself agaiust
his bl uidishmenU, and actually had. to
come down to the appointment of Fost- r
Blodgett before we could sufficiently hate
him to satisfy our Democratic conscience
How deep down and how effectually does
this man hide his rascality 11
So much the more dangerous is he. No
man who visits him, without about one
third of his political villainies full in view,
i6 safe. Beware then, of this mermaid,
with a siren voice—he will laugh welflowe
in your lace, and then pardon the brute
that ravished your sister. He is far more
dangerous thin Swayze—though the latter
is^his superior in force—for i» the eye of the
hitter there is a warning that put us upon
guard. A child is never hurt by a poison
ous toad—it is the bright serpent, with
its spots of purple aud gold, that charms
and slays him. We do not fear the uo-
eo nil ruffian, that is with hideous leer dis
torted, hut the soft and supple geuttaipau
scoundrel, that “..an smile aud smile, and
play the villaiu still.”

them—says that tho OhroniaU, (Fornoy’s
paper) is the only truly-lAyal paper in the
country. He hates the Dents, believes iu
Chase, and estimates Pendleton at exactly
one hundred and fifty thousand, times the
value of Rosencranz. He is opposed to the
annexation of Caba, and thinks General
Grant will try the Presidency another term.

interesting repori at' the interview in’ the

Whereas, Tie Methodbt ■ Episcopal

her ecclesiastical polity and legislative con-
omy that we see but Tittle difference be

delegation equal to the itinerant (or oleri-.

Whereas, They have such literature;

Gospel throughout this State and Ohio;
therefore,
Resolved, By this annual Conference
now ip fiesffop in Westport, Decatur co
Indiana, Aqgust 21, 1869, that -e do
hereby adopt the principles, rubs and reg
ulations of said Methodbt Epbcopal Chnrch
South, asset forth in her discipline, to be
come thereby a Conference of said Church:
Provided, that thb a-.tion, with proper ex

the member® of ihe Evangelical ' United

A oornmitteo of three was' appointed to
receive and count the vote when reported
by the pastors, rnd name the place of meet

above action will be overwhelmingly rati
fied. Bbhop McTyerie will then mact the
Conference, and the act be cons .mated and
their delegates elected tu the next General
Conference, which meets next May iu Mem
phis.
The piovemeat is said to be sustained by

With'a knowledge of these things did

Union. Then, iudeed, the hope you ex
press, “that across the graves of onr revo

and truer and closer Union may spring from
the rekindled memory of a heroic and in

I address this letter to yon through the
colnmqs of tbe 5{?S° D P 3 ^J Telegtaph, the
most ably edited newspaper published in

eye, qod it should, you may insert it in the
Tribune. V onr readers may ho willing to
read it. I ztand bat the shadow ofa name

some honor in my own country. A little
sanity may be tolerated when it givts em-
