barriers between
e c ”ectively than treaties.
Cartersville, Ga., October 31.
Editors Constitution:
I wish through your paper to make
an expose of the Felton, Hargrove,
Glenn, Wikle, Fletcher, Harris & Co.
conspiracy-, entered into for the purpose
of splittling the. Democratic, and ruin-
ihg tlie Republican, party in tlie 7tly
Co : gressional Distinct, . ,.
i Last .■jyinter, while Felton wa^. in
Congress, friends of naiike, good Repub
licans, met Hargroye-in.Rome, and in
frequent conversations Hargrove often
'.made the assertion that IJelton was with,
ds politically; that he could ppt. go
hack,cm.lhe Democracy that lift would
lie a candidate for re-election, and.that
all Republicans should support him,
and. that when be returned home he
would convince all doubting Republi
cans of these'facts.
In proof of the above, Hargrove as
serted that ho was well posted with Dr.
Felton’s views, as he kept up a contin
ual correspondence with Felton, and
that correspondence was then in his
office. ;
Soon after, Felton returned home,
and before he announced himself a
candidate, he met with Hargrove in
his office and immediately after their
consultation Felton made his announce
ment. And soon after this, in reply to
my letter where I denounced Felton as
a demagogue, a trailor s to bis own par
ty and a betrayer of confidence of Re
publicans, Hargrove says : “ Be a little
cautious as to Congressional matters at
this time,” and refers me to Glenn, of
Dalton, for advice, as he, Hargrove,
cannot afford to have Dabney elected
suggesting that we could defeat him by
an alliance with the independents. But
again I charge that before Felton’s
election there was an arrangement be
tween himself and Mr. Wikle and the
postmaster of Cartersville, wherein for
the support of Wikle Dr. Felton was to
have young Wikle appointed to a ca
detship at West Point (which I regard
as rather a high price for such service
as Wikle rendered, and 1 presume the
doctor thought the same, as he repudi
ated the debt, but as Wikle is again
supporting Felton, I presume other
promises have been made). Another
postmaster, one of the ring, A. A
Fletcher, of Marietta, writes me thus
“In your opposition to Felton you,are
ruining the Republican- party-, and T
therefore have no faith in your Repub
licanism,” and in another letter to a
Republican leader of Paulding oounty,
Fletcher says, we must support l-elton,
as lie has broken off from tiie Demo
cratic party, and has nowhere to go but
to fall into the Republican ranks.
1 now assert, to my own personal
nowledge, that nearly the entire ring
of postmasters of the 7th Congressional
District are supporters and allies of
Felton.
The sequel of which is that it is im
material to them who may lie elected
for President, for with Felton in Con
gress and Hayes as President, the post
masters would receive tlie support of
Felton, which they consider equivalent
to an appointment. And with lilden
as President and Felton in Congress,
they will be very able to satisfy the
most scrupulous that they are as good
Democrats as their ally-, and thereby
receive their appointments, the al
mighty position being ail they care for,
and party or party principles can go to
the dogs all they care.
A gentleman—a Democrat with
whom I have been intimate with some
fifteen years—appreciated me in this
manner some ten days ago. Says he:
Goodwin, why are you taking the stand
you are against Dr. Felton ? It will be
to your interest to change your course.
Felton is not your enemy, and he can
be of service to you.
I humored the matter and allowed
him to proceed. Says lie: I yesterday
bad a talk with Felton on this subject
and he said it would be to your interest
to support him, for you might want a
position, and not only that, but, as tlie
workman is worthy of his hire, you
ihould bo paid
I here stopped the gentleman by
stating that I had no favors to ask and
nothing to expect of Felton. My reten
tion in office does not depend upon bis
election, and I am too honorable a Re
publican to ask crumbs from a Demo
cratic table. I oppose both the Demo
cratic candidates from principle,
know it is necessary for the well being
of every and all parties that there
should be thorough organization. With
out this no party and no enterprise can
succeed I therefore have done all m
my power to preserve the Republican
party frombeingdemoralized and ruined
by this ring of conspirators. Did I not
know by a sad experience that there is
no confidence to be placed in the asser
tion of Felton and his friends that he
wa3 conservative, and so would prove
himself, I then might, see some cause
why a Radical might support him.

all tower the lofty mountains of Moab,

Here, in this lovely spot, our Savior
was seated, surrounded by the great
multitude who had followed Him to be
taught. How peaceful, calm, and din
vine it must have been! Jesus teas there.
Nothing, then, was needed to complete
the scene. Nature lent har cherms, but
Nature’s God was there, perfecting and
glorifying all.
And it was on this occasion that one
of His disciples said unto Him, “‘Lord,
teach U3 to. pray as John also taught
his disciplesand He said unto them,
“When ye pray, say: ‘Our‘Father

Instead of beginning With' a long in
troduction of praise to God, clothed in
difficult language, and words abstruse,
Christ merely said, “Our Father which
art in heaven.” What aiteautiful way
to begin!—What a comfort to poor.weak
mortals to feel that they have a Father
in heaven, and what a privilege to call
God—the Creator of ail things, in
whom was the beginning, and in whom
the end—the most glorious and most'
powerful of all beings! We, His hum
ble creatures, are taught by the Son of
this great Ciod-to call Him Father.
In one sense,, we are placed on an
equal footing with ne Savior: He
teaches us that His Father is our
Father. How near, then, must be the
relation of disciple and Master!—“ And
of children, then, heirs, heirs of God,
and joint heirs with Christ.”
Father! Is there not magic in the
word ? What is there that it does not-
imply ? Love, compassion, mercy,
tenderness. Yet, who can fathom the
depth of ’ our Father's love, or estimate
the value of His goodness and mercy.

With a flourish he ascended the

suspicious documents, with which we mo?,
mentarily expected him to fix the seal of
eternal damnation on the entire South
and the Democratic party throughout the
union in-particular; but to the surprising
reltefloShis hearers, he did not venture to
read as much as one single, solitary sylla

“ Thy *wiil be done.” The hardest
part to say. How few of us from the
depths of our souls can exclaim, “Thy
will be done!” What if it be His will
to sever the ties that most strongly bind
us to earth ?—to takeifroin us those we
best love; .without whom life-.would bea

Vermont. Ohio, Indiana and Maine
have already elected Representatives in

Colorado has elected its Representa
tive in the Forty-fourth and the Reoub-

no power for the State to order another
election on Tuesday week. The Demo
crats will, however, run their candidate.

Mr. Washington Lowry, formerly a
well-known builde* and contractor at
Cincinnati, but for six years past resi
dent in Columbia, S. C., is on a visit to
his old home, and—of course—is being
interviewed. He is a Republican, and
expects to vote for Hayes, but doesn’t
want any more Chamberlain in his.
The Republican State ticket, he say?,
filled the hearts of all decent men with
dismay. If Hampton isn’t elected, he
is going to sell bis property for what it
will bring, and come North. Hundreds
of other Northerners will do the same.
The talk of insurrection he pronounces
“all bosh.” When such Radicals as
Judges Cooke and Mackey came out
squarely for Hampton, Chamberlain
and Company saw the jig was np nnless
the Washington authorities came to the
rescue; that is all there is to it.
Chairman Hewitt says the Demo
cratic National Committee have to
work on a “small financial capital,”
but are domg the best they can. He
is afraid this Sonth Carolina interfer
ence means doable electoral returns
from that and, perhaps, one or two
other States, thus giving President
Ferry, of the Senate, an excuse for
throwing out Tilden votes. Bat Mr.
Hewitt hopes the majority for Tilden
at the North will he so large as to settle
the business.
The humors of the campaign are
farther enriched by an address from
Zach. Chandler congratulating thu
Republicans on the result uf the Octo-
bfer election. Zach is now at work upon
another one to be issued after Tilden’s
election, calling the boys to renewed
effort in 1880.
As the day for closing the great Cen
tennial Exhibition approaches the at
tendance increases rather than dimin
ishes. The attendance and receipts
last week exceeded that of any other
week, but in the opinion of the officers
they will be surpassed by the present
week.
A brave and good little Ohio boy sat
on the fence two hours, in the freezing
cold of dead winter, watching a broken

An eccentric gentleman has erected

Russia is taking steps to promote

The time of holding the Pan-Anglican
