Campaign Faper.—We only charge
FIFTY CENTS for our paper during
the CAMPAIGN. Every voter ought
to have it.
Look to the Next Legislature!
We fear the people ot Georgia do
not realize the importance of electing
honest men to the next Legislature.—
Clews & Co., and all of the holders ot
Bullock’s and Kimball’s fraudulent
bonds, will beseige the next Legisla
ture and will use such applia' ces that
none but honest men can or will re
sist. Their claims amount to many
millions and they can afford to use
several hundred thousand dollars in
gaining over a majority of the Legis
lature to their views. This will be
practiced year after j’Ptir until the}
succeed, and the only safety of the ■
State against these claims will be to
have a clause put in the Constitution
forbidding any Legislature from ever
paying them. There are several oth
er changes in the Constitution which
it would be well to have made, but
this is imperative. Let the next Legis
lature call a convention of the people
and provide in that way against the
payment of these Bonds.
School Act.—The special Act in
relation to common schools, appliea
hie to Baldwin county and 4S others,
will be found in our issue of to day —
It lias not yet been published official
ly ; and we are indebted to our fellow
citizen, Col. W. G. McAdoo, for copy
ing the Act on tile in the office of the
Secretary of State, for our paper.—
An interesting Atlanta Letter from bis

The Louisville Bolters’ Convention
A ijourned.
The discontented men who call
themselves Jeffersonian Democrats,
under the Lad of Blanton Duncan,
met in Convention in Louisville, nom

and John Q. Adams for Vice President.
Mr. O’Connor telegraphed to them
before they nominated, that he would
not accept the nomination, and alter
the nomination he again telegraphed
relusing to accept. Mr. Adams ac

but not without. They have adjourn

For tlie Ui.i.iD Sc Recorder.
Land-Scrip College.
Editors :—On August Kith last
the Georgia Senate by a vote of IS
to 12—say two-thirds, passed Mr
Wellborn’s bill taking away the whob
Land-Scrip Trust Fund, $243,00U
trom the old classical college at Ath
eus ; and on August 24th the Housi
of Representatives passed the saim
bill, amended so as to provide for a col -
lege at Milledgeville,'by an overwhel
ming, excited, vote of S3 to 34 ; ovet
two-tbirds, say 8 to 3, or 8-11 ma
jority, and sent the bill back to the
Senate where its friends were 18 to
12, to concur in the Milledgeville a
mendment. Being the lust night ol
the session the Senate, for secret rea
sons, which friends will not differ
about now, did not take up the bill;
and thus it goes over to the next Le
gislature. But the great tiuth is
proved, and no longer disputable, that
over tivo thirds of the people ot Geor
gia ; 811 or 8 to 3 are opposed to
mixing the new Agricultural and Me
chanical College with the old classical
University at Athens ; and are deter
mined to establish Agricultural Col
leges at Milledgeville and Dahlonega.
Yet knowing these votes of the Sen
ate, 18 to 12, and of the House S3 to
34, the Atlanta Constitution of the 6th
mst., is so ungraceful as to try to hide
the truth, by saying “that the Legis
lature adjourned before any action
w r as taken in the matter.”
Atlanta newspapers and Atlanta
legislators, like Col. Hoge and Senator
Hillver, see in everything the ghost
of Milledgeville am) vote against us
But the Atlanta Constitution might
as well face the truth, and gracefully
admit it, and bow to the people ; for
.-ight-elevenths of the people ot Geor
gia are earnest on this subject and
mean to be sovereign.

.September 6, 1872. $
We reached Atlauta at dawn on the
morning ol yesterday, after a night
journey over the Macon & Western
R. R. By the auroral light of coming
day, Judge Bonner, of Baldwin coun
ty (my traveling companion for the
nonce) and I walked up Feachtree
street to its junction with Broad, and
gaining entrance into tfie excellent
boarding house of Mrs. Keith, we were
soon wafted off into what the poet
Thomson styles “the dreamy land of
drowsy head.” Awaking to breakfast
at a “fashionable” hour, we were
ready to explore Atlanta.
We “explored ;” not all of Georgia’s
vast Capital City, any mure than Capt.
Cook explored all of the world : still
an exploration it was. Our first
trip was one ol business to the ac
coinplished and eloquent L>r. A. L.
Hamilton, the custodian of the Fublie
Archives in the Capital. Patient and
and indefatigable in his labors, he is
going rapidly through the Herculean
job of putting in order the official cor
respondence and other documents per
taining to the Executive Department
of the Government. These docu
ments had felt the disorganizing toucl
of Gen. Sherman’s followers in 1S64.
There we had the pleasure of seeing
the original letter of acceptance
written by General LaFayette in
response to the invitation Georgia
save to him in 1825 to visit Milledge
ville. It was written by LaFayette’s
own hand, in good English, yet in the
cramped and peculiar chirography
usually characteristic of French fin
gers. There were documents signed
l>y ttie immortal Washington, Jeffer
son and many other great names—
great beacon-lighis of Hislory. The
fingers aie dust; but these slight ink
marks survive.
Whilst in the Capitol we had the
pleasure of meeting fora few moments
His Excellency Gov. Smith. With a
vigorous physical organization compe
tent to endure the fatigues to which
the Executive office necessarily sub
jectshim; with a clear, sound, prac
tical judgment growing out of an un
common amount of that most uncom-

We have no doubt that many engaged

incorruptible integrity worthy of the

magnitude of interests which were
considered on reports from special
committees appointed at tiie previous
session, and all within the short spa e
of* 60 days, one cannot but be amazed
at the amount of work done. Let it
be known in all the future as the
Working Legislature of Georgia.
We found in the pamphlet Acts two
laws on the subject of Public Schools,
but inasmuch as Baldwin county, am>
18 others, were included in a special
Act which was not to be found in this
pamphlet, we obtained access to the
original in the office ot the Secretary
of State, copied it, and we send it to
you herewith for publication. It will
doubtless interest the citizens of Bald
win and the other 43 counties. This
Act has less complexity than the gen
eral law, and may work well. We
have not had leisure to serwtanize it,
and compare it with the general law
as yet.
The Georgia Press Association was
in Convention in Atlanta on yesterday
and to-day. A leading topic of dis
cussion was the recently imposed
burdens put on the Press by taxation.
We trust the remonstrances of the As
sociation may be heeded at the next
session of the Legislature, believing
that tfie dissemination of intelligence
among the people should be taxed as
little as possible. With a common
school system dispensing free educa
tion to the masses, and cheap newspa
pers emanating from an untaxed press,
our future, now so dark in some of
its aspects, will not fail to he proud
and glorious. As we were leaving
Atlanta, we became aware through
the columns of an afternoon newspa
per, that we had been tendered a com
plimentary seat by the Press Associa
tion on the floor with their body. We
beg to express in this manner our
thanks for the compliment, and our
regret that we did not know of the
invitation in time to have availed out
sell of it.
We found Atlanta as stirring and
active as usual. Save in tlie precincts
of the Capitol, or “Opera House” as
our friend Mr. Boughton persists in
styling it, and at the Kimball House,
scarcely any diminution of the human
throng was observable by reason of
ttie adjournment of the Legislature
The rush of eager candidates for mon
etary success was unabated, whose
swift feet seemed bent on pursuit g
gold to the fiery edge of that lake
that burneth with fire and brimstone.
Speaking of fire reminds us that this
morning before day—at 2 and 4 o’clock
respectively—fires occurred within
our iiearing and sight in the city. We
should have thrown on our habiliments
and visited the nearest one; but we
feared a disappointment, remembering
the story de Quincey tells of a fire in
London so near to a dinner at Coler
idge’s that some of the guests quitted
the tabie to see it. Meeting one ol
them in a few days, de Quincey in
quired about the fire, and the disap
pointed guest responded with just
indignation at the sorry fire that it
was a complete failure, having been
small and speedily extinguished'! We
feared this Atlanta fire would not prove
to be a show worth sacrificing a sound
sleep to see.
We left Atlanta this afternoon at 4.
A Masonic procession bore a coffin sol
emnly to the Macon it Western train;
some of the fraternity came aboard ;
and at a station about 20 miles from
Atlanta, the weeping friends and fami
ly of the deceased gentleman received
the remains of the loved and lost. The
voice of lamentation smote solemnly
on the ears ot the passengers as they
sped away on the wings of steam.
Soon afterward. I observed near me
singular contortions on the face of an
old gentleman w r ith fine features.—
His “eye with fine frenzy rolling,”
disclosed insanity ; and we observed
that persons had him in charge, and
handcuffs fettered his wrists. The
paroxysm, the wild songs, the maniac
al howls and laughter in alternation,
all died away, and lie dozed on his seat
as we reached Bt-rnesville. Immedi
ately a crowd of colored people sur
rounded the train, and many came
through with lamps searching for a
lugitive. Near the station, as the
train had driven up a few moments
before, a negro woman becoming en
raged at a negro giri, had laid her dead
at a single blow, cleaving her skull
with a bar of iron! The murderess
had fled towards the train. Every
nook of the train was seaiched, and a
complete cordon of colored avengers
were stationed around the train to
seize the murderess if she should en
deavor to escape when the train
should move off. At last the whistle
blew, and slowly we moved away.—
Amid the moving lights, the quick
tramp, the shouts and the confusion,
we could not ascertain if the felon
had been arrested or not. Thus in the
brief journey from Atlanta to Bartles
ville had we been brought face to face
with Death, Madness and Murder!
What a strange tragedy is life ! Here,
at the good Brown House, we ex
claim “Alabama /” It is a good place
to rest. W. G. M.

ity in the State—say about 50,000
votes; and the probability is that he
will run over his party strength in
many localities. We were glad to
assure our friends in Atlanta that no
disaffection existed in our county ; and
while some persons had felt disap

gard to the Agricultural and Mechan

conscientiousness with which he acted,

party are allowed to laugh also.
The Grant leaders who bolstered up
the silly and preposterous business,
and invested large sums of money in it

Greeley, are very sorelieaded at the

in ca-ks lo Europe, is one ot the best points to derive
some knowledge ol the progies* ot the political cam
paign in ttie State
lucre is a very serious defee 1 ion ot abolition re
publicans here and a general defection of the German
voters. The local German vote has always been sev-
emy-tive per cent democra'ic, and lienee the Sundays
in-Milwaukee aid through the State aie glimpses ol
the German’s paradise The hand trf Neal Dow and
the Mane law is paralyzed over these borders; strong
lager flows, the b. eweries, standing in the midst of a
fl .wery hop country, are at work day and night bml
ing and malting, aud m ne dare molest or make the
votary of Gambrinus alraid.
Nine out of ten ot these Germans who are not detr
ocrats aie generally admitted to be for Greeley, and
also the whole seventy five per cent of Genoa
democrats. Greeley's picture is in all the lager beet
sal on-s and be has two-thirds of the influential circu
lation oftbenew-Hpaper press.
In 1867 tire republican majority (Grant) in Wiscon
•in was about twenty four thousand; but in 1871, un
der the giadnal retrocession of the Germans and t e
slow disintegration ot the ruling party, tile majority
lor the republican Governor was only about ten thou
sand. The natural republican majority in staid aim
undivided times is about tiiteen thousand. The liber
ala are c i.fident of beat me this, and claim that Gree
ley wt 1 have ten tl.otisaud majority in the Stale.
Not only is the German detection general, but there
is a universal defection of primary abolitionists, ot
whom Wyman Spooner,of Elkhmu, forty miles trom
Milwaukee, is an ex tmple. This old gentleman, aged
about seventy, was for sixteen years Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Circuit Judge, &c , aud was the pet and pride
of the freesnil and republican parties. He voluntarily
gave up office durti g the war and retired with the
respet t and admitatiuii o! every citiz-u. Being in
poor he ilth lie sueiit last Winter at Carbondale III .
near Governor Palmer, of that Sate, and there befell
to comparing notes aud watchiog the turn of events
Spooner was uo s rehead, but he alleged that lie had
discovered in ttie progress of things a siuister devel
opment of corruption and evil government. He dissent
mated those convictions on his return, and is now upon
the Greeley electoral ticket
A defection ftoin Grant of nearly equal conse
quence is that of O- M. Tvler, chairman lor ten yeart
of the Republican State Committee He is a bauker
—no sorehead in any Bense-and a man of largo pee
sessions and the fullest responsibility. Mr Tyler say.-
tliat without change of administration the prosperity
of the country will prove to be fictitious within two
years, aud the monopolists of the period will consume
the subs'ance of the pe> pie and assume the govern
ment by purchasing the uomiuaiit party.

A great ileal of prominence lias been* given to

judgment much more thau it is entitl' d to, or deserves
It is not surprising that the Administration organs
tike every me tsron ot increasing and exaggerating
its importance. However denied, tne movement real-
ly means the division, tf possible, of the Democracy,
anti the re-election of General Grant. There can be
no other conclusion It cannot of course succeed.
This is acknowledged. In fact, this is so patent,that any
al tempt to at rest otherwise would only create a smile
Tnere is not one of those engaged in what has been
well designated as “Grant’s side show,” who has the
remotest idea that any third ticket can have any other
effect, than to strengthen tlie opponents of Reeoneili-

whatever may be protested, ai attempt to make a
diversion from tile Democratic ranks, ami weaken the
finc-i and action ofthe Baltimore Convention.
The Grant party thus regard it, and take every oc
casion to applaud its purposes to the echo, while pro
fessing to disclaim any absolute connection with it.
The Washington Chronicle, edited by Seuator Har
bin, and the organ of Grant at the capital, openly
avows:—‘ In the in erestof a fair field and a square
stand-up contest, where there is no bush-whacking
and no false bu- ting, we shall be glad to see Louisville
give the coup de grace o Baitimor
TheGraiit paitydid their best to prevent the unity
ofthe liatimore aud Cincinoa'l Conventions. But
the g. eat Democratic par y, by their legally constitu
ted representatives in Convention assembled, rose to
the height of Hie occasion, and with a unanimity al
most unparral eled, determined that their true inter
ests consisted in uniting with good citizen- of snv and
all parties, in promoting the welfare of every section
and of every class of people They therefore abstain
ed from any direct nominations, acknowledged the
dead is-ues of the past, and rising to t e living ques
tions of ihe present, united with the Cincinnati move
ment, in the only feasible mode of promoting t i.e cause
nt peace and h.-tinn riy amongst all sections, and secur
ing the permanent pro-perity ot the couutry
The di eision of tnat Convention, is the portion of
the Democatic party if the nation. It is evid-nl
that either Grant or Greeley vri’l be the next Presi
dent of the Cniteu States All opposition to iMr. Gree
ley, the; .-lore, from whatever quar er, is the unequivo
cal support of General Grant. This is so plain as to
need no argument. This the Radical Committee at
Washington perceive, and hence they are printing
and distributing with lavish hands, rhe published cii-
cu! rs of Mr. Blauton Duncan, and bis proposed Con
vention.
And this the Washington Chronicle is forced to ad
mit It says: “The Committee are wilting all tin
wo.Id-hall know what documents they are printing
tnd (herniating. They have circulated liberally the
published circulars of Duncan.just ns we circulate them
through the columns of the Chronicle.”
Here is a fact which speuks volt.rues. It is worth a

Mr. Greeley, of the Democracy or of the Baltimore
Convention It is, an far as it is able, the aider anu
abetter of Genera. Grant's re-election. It is in vain
to declare any other statement. This is too plain t
need further illustration. The disguise is toothinior
the real results to be concealed.
From the Louisville Convention we hare no fears
however strung may be the hopes which it has excited
in the breast-of General Grant aud his faction uf th
Repub icau party. The country fully understands the
movement, and has judged it accordingly.
Bayard, Saulsbury. He drieks, Voorhees, and the
distinguished leaders of the Democratic p irty. all per
ceive tiie fallacy of Mr Blanton Duncan and his im
prov'sed Convention. As Mr. Voorhees very truth
fully anti forcibly puts it in Ins recent speech at Green

taken my staud accordingly. I liaveuo word of abuse
to hurl against tiie men engaged in calling the Louis

taken. Every luteliigeut man in the United States
knows that it is a movement solely in the interest ot

Loveliness on the Increase.—A marked in
crease of female loveliness is the eye-delighting
result of the immense popularity which Hagan’*
Magnolia Bai.m has obtained among the laiies
of America. Complexions ra liant with sit iwv pu
rity and tinged with the roseate hue of health are
commonly met with whenever it is u-td. For
the sallow and unwholesome appearance of the
face arid neck, which utterly counterbaU ic-s the
effect of any personal attraction the own-r may pos
sess, it substitutes that clear, pearl-like complex
ion which is such a transcendent charm in wo
man, and renders the rougln-st skin as suit as Ge
noa velvet. No one is more astonished than the
person using it at the marvelous transformation
which it effects in these particnlars.

railway hood swiudle its text, aud gueth for him as fol
lows:
Mr. Clews thinks ttie business iutei ests of the coun
try couldn't a:aud Mr. Greeley’s election. Mr. Clews
is partly right. The business interests ot his house
might suffer from the hostility of the new administra
tion to such swindling and such swindlers.
We have made no attenpt to show in this, or in pre
vious articles, the general rascality of this Brunswick
amt Albany Railroad busines-; how the road was so
wietebealy built as Dot to befit for use; how Henry
Clews was to have one fourth of what the contractors
made; how the duty of certifying and indorsing the
bonds, which, by lie act of I86!», was vested in the
Treasurer, Mr. Angter, was taken from that officer,
by the act of 18711, and transferred to Bullock, simply
because the Treasurer was hours! and the Governor
was not. Some ot these points are touched on in a
caretul article in The Financier ol Augus 31 We
have simp y endeavored to throw light on the ques
lion whether H.-nry Clews is more knave than hail He
claims to be simply the latter. But he insists that
