“Who Runs the Republican Nationai
Committee —The President's Slate—
Will Guilty Men Escape— A Sweet
scented Lot—What Congress is Doing
—The Nest President.
Since the calling ol the National Republican
Convention there has been considerable specu
lation as to the significance of the committee's
action in designating-ft place for the cohorts to
assemble. On general principles it doesn't
matter much where the conv “ntion is held, for
the belief is growing more universal that none
of the candidates likely to be nominated by it
could possibly secure an indorsement by the
people, yet the usual ceremonies must be gone
through with, as a mere matter of form. For
some days after the call was issued we lived in
an atmosphere of curses from those who sojourn
at the nation’s capital.
The elements that entered into this manifes
tation of temper and the reasons why they
“cussed” were as various as the influences to
which they severally ascribed their discomfiture.
But it is generally conceded that Senator Hor
ton dictated the selection ©f Cincinnati, and the
result was a feverish activity in Morton presi
dential stock. To those who know how these
things are done the manipulation of the coni.
mittee in Morton’s interest will not appear to
deserve any particular significance, further than
to indicate that it is a possible point gained in
•favor of a Western over an Eastern candidate
Morton was present as a member of the commit,
tee, with six of his Senatorial coileagues, most
ly acting as proxies, and with old Simon Came
ron to handle some of the other wax figures the
thing was accomplished, though not without a
prolonged struggle.
Blaine and his friends who were for Philadel
phia have exhibited the most disappointment,
yet if Blaine had nothing more serious to con
tend with than the location of the nominating
convention be might be comparatively happy.
But since the Amnesty debate, President Grant’s
recent remark that -Blame s in nobody’s way,”
finds a general echo. Indeed, he is regarded as
practically out of the race, his chances, always
slim, having been completely annihilated
Conservative Republicans who were previously
his warmest supporters now express contempt
for his insincerity. A‘t the opening of Congress
the conspicuous position occupied by thi ex-
Speaker was full of possibilities and surrounded
by dangers Had lie by the reticence which
belongs to statesmanship and the dignity la til
ting one who a-pired to he President wailed
his opportunity and expressed broad views
upon the questions to come up, lie might have
won a place in the hearts of the people, even if
he did not obtain the indorsement of a party
whose leaders are so universally corrupt, itiit
he has chosen to wreck his Joriunes upon the
most prominent breaker in his course. It is
the old, old story : smartness is not greatness,
and the Presidential hug in his ear unbalanced
his head.
Surprise and wonderment have been expressed
that so bale third term influence was manifest
in the committee. But the way of the politi
cian is past finding out, until you s e his slate.
Third- teiin ns an original proposi’ion has now
but few .pen advocates, but ii is still the second
choice of nearly even prominent Candida e in
the party. Morton and l.nuit arc cheek by
jowl. The projrramui" is tor Morton to make
his best fight and show what it amounts to.—
He is supposed to be the only man who could
divide tiie'Southcrn carpet-bag support with
Grant. It he can make a show of strength
enough to win lie is o hive Grant’* help, w.th
the entire patronage of the Administration at
his back, it beini; understood that if elected the
President’ll friends shall all be retained. But if
he cannot secure the nomination he is to throw
all his strength into the balance tor Grant, and
third-term then comes to the front in earnest.
Until this stage of the proceedings it will not
be before the convention.
Morton’s “Outrage” speech just delivered in
the Senate is in pursuranee ot this programme
It bears the inherent marks of a carelully pre
pared campaign document, but it fell flat in the
Senate and will not even elieet a reply from the
Democratic side The amnesty debate had
taken the wind a'l out of that sort of thing.—
However, the postmaster-editors in Indiana and
elsewhere will do well to keep it before the
people. Let them air the “bloody-shirt” in ap
proved fashion from back attic windows until
after the 14th of June—and keep their places.
At first tLe Senate refused, on Wednesday, by a
vote of 30 to 22 to hear the speech, and then
it was Morton’s turn to protanate. He used
language more forcible than chaste, and with
an ominous cloud upon liis intellectual brow,
balanced himself upon his canes and disappear
ed. When it became known that the speech
was already in print, the Senate reconsidered
and called him back. Nobody here believes
that the par nership will win. For years the
Conservative element of this co tntry has pray
erfully awaited the time when an intelligent
constituency or an inscrutable Providence
should remove 0. P. Morton front the scene,
pluck hint, as it were, like a thorn from the side.
Until Blaine stole his thunder lie was believed
to be the last of the political scalp-hunters,
the only relic of a class that flourished when
more than ordinary ability strode along with
less than ordinary conscience, and this campaign
will finish hint- The call itself for this Conven
tion is as sweet and gentle as a summer breeze.
It talks of economy and a “continued prosecu
tion of official corruption,” and would woo
the independent and Kef rm voter with words
so seductive that we half suspect the Republi
can machinery has fallen into new bands. But
a glance reveals the same old familliar s'gna
tures, at the head is George E Spencer, now
under investigation on the charge of purchasing
bis seat in the Senate with money belongiug to
the Moble post office. Then there is Powell
Clayton, of Arkansas, a man of charming char
acter ; Packard, of Louisiana, whose fame is
flweet-scer.ted ; “Addition, division and silence ’
Kemble, of Pennslyvania, and J. J. Patterson,
of South Carolina, another United States Sena-
who pays for what he gets, uot excepting
his ,eslt * n ® enate When this crowd talks
of “re acd “punishing official corruption.”

boasted that n.-’Ore official thieves had be n pun
ished by the Republican party than by all other
parties combined. Tljis may be true, and still
leave the worst of t.Vni unpunished. All the
other parties never bad so many rascals in
Office.
The whiskey ring trials are attracting atten
tion again. The opinion prevails here that
matters have been “fixi and ’ to let the lh evident .-
household escape. Some recent movements of
a quiet nature and the delay in getting the ease
to trial give rise to this opinion Ahij h Ever

the St. Louis riug, who bus been ha king i the
genial sunshine of Italy dure Ins indictment,
has lately returned to Washington, mid numer

et al, lead to the suspicion that ug is to swear

The committee of Congress are hard at work
and the results of their iuh-us will slu r ly ap
pear The House Committee on Appropriations
are prep ring their system of retrenchment,
which prorwbe* to be sweeping. A change in
the rules of the House was secured on Tuesday
which permils amendments to appropriation
hi Is when under consideration in the Hoti-e r< -
during i-ataries or other txperses Heretofore
no amendments were in ord.-r at ibut stage ex
, ept those increasing salaries. Mr. Baker of
Indiana lots a bill to reduce the pay of Senators
and Mt-nibi rs of Congn ss to §3 600 per annum,
with no allowance for stationer , miie.tg ■, or
other purposes. It, in lodes members of the
present Congress. In addition to the reductions
proposed by the ' ommitu-e on Appropriations
in tile Armv arid N vy the Diplomatic and Con
sular service is to be overhauled. All first
class missions—Fiance. England, Germany, and
Russia are reduced from $17,600 t §14,000;
all $12,000 missions to §9.000; all s>o,ooo
missions to SB,OOO ; and all $7,500 missions to
$6,500. The Grecian mission is abolished, and
a consulate is e-tablishe ), with a salary of $2,000
attached. All South American mis ions, except
Brazil, which is reduced, are consolidated into
two, making Chili and Bolivia one, and Peru,
Ecuador, and Columbia another. All consu
hues are reduced 10 per cent. Some of the
members of th • Foreign Affairs Committee have
already assented to and approved the reduction,
and Messrs. Randall and Holman say they have
the data to sustain the reduction, and that the
positive f ets in their possession show that the
paring process can be exercised without the
slightest injury to the public service. The
Ways and Means Committee are understood to
have a great surprise in > reparation in the shape
cf a revised tariff hill very radical in its changes.
It will greatly increase the list of free articles,
and change the complicated workings of (he
present system so that the number of officials
and other machinery can be reduced and the
cost of collecting the revenue diminished. Ido
not believe, however, as has been stated, that
toe Committee will decide to restore the tax on
tea and coffee. The Centennial appropriation
bill has been under consideration ail the week,
devolopiag more opposition than was expected
so that its passage does not now seem so cer
tain.
1 must refer onee mote to the “Union soldier”
nonsense. The Doorkeeper of the Bouse has
prepared a statement from his records which
shows that of his 110 appointess 30 were ia the
Union army and 11 in the Confederate army.—
Ninety-foui have taken the iron-clad oath, and
sixteen the modified oath The iron-clad oath
can only be taken by those who gave no aid or
assistance to the rebellion. His list also em
braces nine colored meu and one colored won an.
So it appears that while the South is a part
of the country, and just as much en itled to
those appointments as any other section, it has
not received a proportion equal to its ratio of
Congressmon. Under the Bepubiican Door
keeper o; ihe last Congress, w hen the number
of employees was 153 instead of 110 there
were only 18 Union.soldiers. These are facts
taken from the books of the office. I accosted
gi one anu nmn attending one of the gallery
doors a day or t„o ago, said I, are you one of
those Confederates who di-placed a crippled
Union soldiers ? “No. sir,” he replied. “I was
in the Union army, and lost this at Shiloh,”
pointing to his empty sleeve. ‘-A Confederate
appointed in ibe last Congress was removed to
give me this place,” The gallant -Union
soldier,” Mosby, whom the Republicans s > de
light to honor, was recently asked what he
thought of this outciy. “Its all humbug,”
said he. “There are more Confederates occupy
ing position-- u..dtr the Government upon my
recommendation than all the employees of the
House hf Representatives put together.” Ob
serve the effrontery of Republican misrepresen
tation.
The Democratic National Committee does not

SPEAKER KERR.
Speaker Kerr lias written it letter dat
ed the 25th to J. H. Real, saying itisjiot
his desire that his name shall be used
in connection with a National ticket this
year.
The following is the full text of
Speaker Kerr’s letter to Mr J. H. deal:
Washington, D. C.,
January 25, IS76.—J. H. Real, Esq.,
Philadelphia- —Dear Sir: Several days
ago I received by mail, accompanied
with your ca*d, an article over your
name published in the Delaware County
Democrat, of December 30th list 1
perused the article with much interest,
and many of its views command my un
qualified approval, but I have only time
now to thank you for your very kind re
ference to t -e in that article, and say
that it is not my desire, in any degree
whatever, that my name shall be used in
conneciion with the National ticket of
this year. The Indiana Democracy will
present to our next National Convention
another of her sons as a candidate for
the Presidency—Governor Hendricks—
in whose advocacy for that high place I
will stand with them in hearty co opera
tion My judgment is that our friends
this year cannot do better, if so well,
than to nominate Governor Hendiicks.
I am with great respect, very truly
yours, M. C. Kerb.
A New Financial Scheme.— Mr. Tucker
of Virginia, introduced a bill in the
House on Thursday for the es ablish
raent of an exchequer, which, it is
claimed by its-author and supporters,
will tend to the gradual resumption of
specie payments The bill provides *or
the organization of a body corporate,
to be styled the Governor of and
Managers of the Exchequer of the
United States of America, being some
thing similar in intent to the Bank of
England. The capital of the exchequer
is to be one hundred million dollars,
divided into shares of one thousand
dollars each, and subscription books
therefore are to be opened in the leading
cities of the United States. National
banks may come into the organization
by subscribing the whole or any part of
its capital and consolidate into the ex
chequer, the subscript'ous to be payable
three-fourths in legal-tender and one
fourth iu coin. Branches are provided
for.

What I Know About Cotton!
I know that cotton nicely packed and
covered all over, is worth 1 2 cent u
pound more than that with a little bag
ging tightly stretched on the sides with
a wide stripe left for the cows to*eat and
to get soaked in the mud and filth. I
know that a bale of cotton weighing un
der 350 pounds is called a pocket, and
sells from 1 1-2 tc 2 cents a pound less
than a bale. Bagging and ties pay the
farmer a good profit, and common sense
ought to teach them that it is to their
interest to use as much as the law allows.
I know a farmer had far better throw
away all his yellow coctou than to mix it
with his white otton. X know tole cotton
seldom brings as much as other cotton,
from the fact that the ginner generally
mixes all sorts together. If they would
assort it, pack each kind together, it
would pay for all the trouble. The eye
has much to do with the sale of every
thing. In buying goods I once saw
! white cotton handkerchiefs that were good
i put up in rolls with string around them
at §1 00 per dozen, but preferred to pay
I $1 50 per dozen for an article not near
I so good from the fact they were ironed
out nicely, packed in a handsome paper
box with a lady or some other pretty
picture on the box
New Way to Make Soap.
A few Sundays a;o an old gentleman
stepped into Benson & Co’s, counting
room. They have a small printing press
and keep strong lye to wash the type,
so happened that a bottle with Harter’s
Cherry Bitters label on it was on the
desk ; it looked red, clear and pretty.
No one in the counting room but him
self, and, feeling badly, thought a dose
of the bitters would be good for him,
took a good pull; soon found it was any
thing but bitters; upon examining the
bottle found Lye written on one corner
of the bottle. There being a big bottle
of sweet oil near by the idea struck him
that lye and grease made soap ; drank a
big draftof the oil and for a week expec
torated first rate shaving cream.
There are several pretty lots on the
square at the Hartwell Camp Ground
not yet taken. Any one who will build
a tent can get a lot free of charge. Will
not some of the Elbert county people
come np and pitch their tents with us f
We want a hundred tents completed by
next Camp meeting. Lumber is cheap
and saw mills convenient. We mention
the matter thus early that you may have
ample time to make preparation. The
next camp meeting will come oft’ about
15th Oct. 1876.
Dogs have became a great nuisance in
this town- We have them of all sizes,
ages and coV-rs. It is strange how
much fuss a little “purp” about the size
of a rat can start np. One simple little
bark from him sets the whole communi
ty of do£B to business. They keep us
awake rendering our nights hideous*with
their howls. Wish the Legislature
would pass a law taxing dogs live dol
lars a head and prohibiting any family
from having over five dogs.
An old darkey in town this week who
was accused of taking uff another man’s
coat come aronud to prove his charac
ter. He said he was very much “inter
ested" and din’t want “expi ion” on his
good name. Though he acknowledged
it did look somewhat “expitious’’ as the
coat was found in his wagon in a box
with other goods.
There is a petition in the store of
Messrs. Scott & McCurry, praying the
P. SI General to extend to this, place
the mail running from Tuceoa City to
Parker’s Store. Hope every body in the
county will sign it, as this would greatly
increase our mail facilities. Toccoa is
our nearest depot for all western
freights.
Still Aaother New Store.
Dr. C. A Webb is opening a splendid
stock of Groceries and Planters supplies,
at the house lately occupied by Messrs.
Williams & Benson. That’s right—bring
on all the competition you please, and
we’ll get sugar and coffee at our own
prices. The Doctor promises to sell at
‘•Rockbottom prices” for cash.
This is a live time with oar bidders
for mail contracts. A gentleman in this
county, who is now running several mail
routs, put in bids for forty one routs last
week. He seems to Ike the business.
Our merchants are getting cotton off
to market with a rush this week.
