[Subject to a Democratic nomination,]
jV. c. BARNETT,
Former Sccictary of State.
Wednesday Morning, October 23, 1872.
Voters of Baldwin and of the old ^th
District.
Remember the special election for
a member ol Congress to serve during
the remainder of Tom Speer’s term,
takes place on the 29th of this month.
Col. E. W. Beck of Griffin, is the Dem
ocratic candidate. He is a worthy
gentleman and will make a good Rep
resentative. We have been missrepre-
sented long enough. We have a ma
jority in this District, and can elect
him easily if we all turn out and vote.
We shall want his services next winter
in Congress and it 13 our interest as
well as our duty to elect him. We
sincerely hope that every Democratic
voter in the old 4th District will re
member and turn out on the 29th inst.,
and vote for Col. Beck. If you stay
at home and suffer another Radical to
be elected, you and your children af
ter you, may rue the day that you
neglected your duty to your country.
Again we say remember the 29th of
October and be sure and turn out and
vote for Col. E. W. Beck.
Our Straight-out Friends.
Those gentlemen calling themselves
Jeffersonian Democrats seem bent on
doing mischief. They Burely can’t
have the least hope of getting an
electoral vote in Georgia for their re
luctant candidate. Why then do they
put an electoral ticket in the field, if
it is not to help Grant? Whether that
is their intention or not, it will have
that effect, if any. But we are rejoiced
to believe that the true Democracy is
so strong in Georgia, the combined
forces of Grant and the Straight-outs
can’t jostle them.

The Political Prospect.
The Democracy and Liberal Repub
licans at the North do not appear to
be at ail discouraged by the result of
the October elections. The Execu
tive Committees of both the Demo
crats and Liberal Republicans in the
States of New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio have put forth rousing ad
dresses calling upon the people to
arise in their might and put down an
administration that is determined to
hold on to power against the wishes
of a majority of the people. They
have exposed the glaring acts of bri
bery and corruption by which the
Radicals carried the election in Penn
sylvania and tried to carry it in Indi
ana. They have exposed to the gaze
of the civilized world an administra
tion whose hired agents have employ
ed thousands of ignorant negroes to
go from Maryland and Virginia to
vote, and by this means stifled and
overcame the wishes of the citizen*
of that State, and when enough ille
gal voters could not be had they have
employed New York roughs to stufl
the ballot boxes and bribed the man
agers of elections to make false counts
and false returns. If these exposures
do not alarm and arouse the people
of these States to arise in their might
and hurl these corrupt rulers from
power it will be because they have
themselves become too corrupt for
self-government. We do not believe
that a majority of the northern people
have yet become so degenerate as to
submit to such abuses of power. We
believe that a majority of them are
still honest and will put down these
infamous election frauds and the men
who practice them.
Judge Duogherty Dead.—A pri
vate dispatch received in this city an
nounces ttie death in New York of Mr.
Win. Dougherty, one of the most dis
tinguished lawyers in Georgia. He
had long been sinking, and his death
created little surprise, though univer
sal regret.—Atlanta Snn.
We Want a Convention of the Peo
ple of G-corgia to Amend our Frei-
ent Constitution*
It is well known by all who
have examined the subject that our
present State ’Constitution formed
by scalawags, carpet-baggers and ne
groes in 186S is in many respects ex
tremely defective. Many of its pro
visions are oppressive ; many things
have been omitted, which the people
want.
One of the first things done by the
new Legislature should be the passage
of an act calling a Convention to amend
the constitution. In calling a convention
the colored people should be guaran
teed .that their rights should not be
disturbed. If not prohibited by the
Constitution, Clews & Company, with
the assistance of the Atlanta ring,
will prevail upon some Legislature to
pay their fraudulent bonds. There is
a number of men lying around Atlan
ta, who are always ready to sell their
services as lobby members to those
who will pay them best. Of course
the bond-holders can always command
their services in manipulating the
Legislature.
Remember.
Democrats of the old Fourth Con
gressional District remember that a
special election to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Thomas Speer
will take place on the 29th of this
month. The Democratic candidate is
Col. Beck of Griffin; turn out and
elect him. His opponent is Jim Green,
n scalawag whom Bullock appointed
Judge. Be sure and turn out and vote
for Col. Beck.
The Speaking- last Thursday.
The citizens of Baldwin county had
the pleasure of listening to addresses
from Col. Beck, candidate for Congress
in the old 4th District for the unex
pired term of Mr. Speer, and from
Col. Blount, candidate for Congress in
the 6th District, and from Col. Harde
man. An account of the meeting will
be found in another place. The turn
out from the country was not so great
as we could have wished ; most of
the planters being very busy picking
their cotton ; but there is no necessity
of speaking to the democracy of Bald
win, they are all right, and we trust
when the time for voting comes they
will be on hand and show their faith
by their works.
Gov. Smith’s Majority.—One hun
dred and twenty-nine counties have
given a majority of *57,361 for the re-
election of Gov. Smith. Eight more
counties are to hear from, which will
run the majority, perhaps, to 60,000.
About 150,000 votes were polled, 10,-
000 less than was cast in the Presi
dential election four years ago, when
the Democratic majority was 45,688,
an increase of nearly 15,000 for the
Democracy. Thousands of the color
ed people voted for Governor Smith,
and they will find that lie is a better
friend to them than their pretended
friends of the Radical party. Hurrah
for Smith!—La Grange Jiei>orter.
Jurors for the United States
Court.—The Savannah Republican of
Saturday says:
“Jurors for the United States Court,
which holds an August adjourned term
at an early date in this city for the
Southern District of Georgia, have
been drawn, and are as follows : A. L.
Woodward, Monroe county; W. T.
Morgan, Bibb county; O. II. P. Rawls,
Wilkinson county; Joshua F. Ussery,
Glasscock county; W H Fickling,
Taylor county ; Green Watson, Leo
county ; Ruben Cord, Jones county ;
Win H Lawson, Washington county ;
Jat W Mikell, Bulloch county; S H
Singleton, Bibb county ; John D, Sav-
j'lge, Chatham county; James D. Fred
erick, Macon county ; T. T. Windsor,
Baldwin county; Samuel Mayer,
Dougherty county; W S Spears, Rich
mond county; Thos J Atkins, Hous
ton county ; Chas Spaeth, Richmond
county; V A Clagg, Lee county;
John C Pittman, Quitman county;
D G Adams. Clay county; Chas Ster
ling, Camden county; R J Bruce,
Thomas county ; David Arnett, Mus
cogee county ; W P Daniels, Dooly
county ; F L Grace, Bibb county.”
The Harvest in Europe.—The
harvest in France is considered, on
the whole, very good; that in England
not so good; in Italy decidedly bad, both
as to quantity and quality; Russia
makes a fair return, especially in Od
essa, where the wheat harvest is look
ed upon as better than usual ; Germa
ny also gives a tolerably good account;
in Switzerland, Spain and Belgium
the harvests have been very successful,
especially in cereals.
Cost of the Maine Election.—
Speaker Blaine says only $12,000
were spent by the Grantites in Maine.
A correspondent of the Tribune shows
that they spent over $200,000 in that
little enterprise. But the investment
paid them.
Walton County.—A private note
from a friend says Walton county is
making more cotton than any of the
adjoining counties. It is believed the
crop will reach 10,000 bales. The
corn crop, also is very fine.
No man can avoid his own compa
ny, so he bad better make it as good
as possible.
Robert Bonner, of the New York
Ledger, will erect a monument to the

DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.
Columbus, O., October 13.—The
Democratic State Executive Commit
tee will to-morrow morning issue the
following address to the Democracy of
Ohio:
“ To the Democracy of Ohio:
“The result of last Tuesday’s elec
tion shows that Ohio was lost by the
failure to poll the uusal Democratic
votes. Mortifying as is the fact, jus
tice to the Liberal Republicans, and
an earnest desire to retrive the misfor
tune, require us to declare it. In our
chief towns, the Liberal strength ex
ceed our most sanguine estimate In
the country, it fell short; but the ag
gregate of the Liberals in the city and
country who voted our State ticket,
added to the Democratic vote of
1S68, would have overcome the Re
publican majority at that election and
the negro vote combined and given us
victory. Can we repair the mischief ?
We can. Four fifths of the Democrats
who stayed at home last Tuesday can
be induced to vote for Greeley in No
vember. Those who will absolutely
refuse to go to the polls will be coun
terbalanced by those Republicans who
went against us last Tuesday but will
vote for Greeley. We have only to
poll our usual Democratic vo:e to
snatch from defeat a glorious victory
The liberals stretch forth the hand:
shall we refuse to take it? The pros
trate and plundered South cries for
help : shall we be deaf to tbeir appeal ?
“By Greeley’s election we can res
tore prosperity and good governrxkent
to the South, kind feelings to the now
hostile sections, honesty and honor to
the civil service, respect for the Consti
tution and laws to the National Admin
istration. Could we do more with a
Democrat in the Presidency ? Could
he expect that co-operation in Congress
which Mr. Greeley would command?
Are patriotic Democrats willing to
lose all beneficial results of victory out
of personal hostility to Greeley, or
disgraceful lethargy ? Are Ohio Dem
ocrats ready to let our yet pure and
proud State become debauched and
hopelessly subjugated, like Pennsyva-
nia, by hordes of mercenaries paid by
public plunder ?
“Fellow Democrats, our Union
with the Liberals in Ohio has not been
fruitless. It has given us Hamilton
county by near 6.000 majority, which
secures the Constitutional Convention
and the Legislature and a United
States senator next year, if we make
a brave fight this fall. Should both
Ohio and Pennsylvania go for Grant,
the chauces are still in favor of Gree
ley’s election. Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, and Indiana, added
to those border and Southern States
which are certain for Greeley, will
give him a clear majority. Wo have
already, by a vigorous and aggressive
fight, forced the Grant party to its
knees, and can conquer it in Novem
ber. Fellow Democrats, work till No
vember heartily and hopefully. The
Liberals will take care of themselves.
Let every Democratic county commit
tee get a list of those Democrats in
each township who failed to vote last
Tuesday, and direct its effort to them.
Bring out this laggard vote, and the
fight is won in Ohio and the republic
RETIETIBER ’.
That the election for a Congressman
from the old Fourth District, to fill
Speer’s vacancy, comes off on Tuesday,
the 29th day of this month, and that
the candidates are Col- E. W. Beck, of
Griffin, Democrat, and Judge Jas
Greene of Upson, Radical. Col. Beck
is aD able, honest and thoroughly trust
worthy man, who deserves the hearty
support of every respectable man in
tf e district, and who will be over
whelmingly elected if the Democrats
will only turn out. If a full vote is
polled he will beat Greene three thou
sand voces at the very lowest calcula
tion. We urge our friends to remem
ber the day, and go to the polls.
As to who Greene is and how he
stands, now, we refer the reader to an
article found in the “Georgia Press”
column. He pretends to be “an old line
Whig,” when the facts show that he
was nominated by a full blooded Radi
cal Convention, and that he is, to all
practical intents and purposes, a mem
ber of that party, and in full sympathy
with all its vile schemes against the
liberties of the people. He may sing
this “eld line Whig” song until he is
hoarse, but he will fool no man three
degrees removed from an idiot. He
is a Republican, and if elected must
and will—or be a traitor to those who
supported him—act with that party
in Congress. He knows there is no “old
line Whig” party in Congress or the
country, and that he must either vote
with or against the Grant despotism.
Such political hypocrites deserve even
more signal reprobation by the people
than open unblushing Radicals, and we
invoke the vote r s of the old Fourth
District, on the 29th inst., to bury
“Geems” G. out of sight under a
rousing majority for Col. Beck. It can
be easily done if the Democrats will on
ly turn out. Will they do it?.— Tele

Address «f (hr Nmior.il Democratic Com
mitter to Ike People of tbr Ceiled Slate*.
The following address to the people
of the United States has been issued
by the National Democratic Commit
tee :
The October elections are over.
They enable us to form a tolerably
accurate idea of the true political situ
ation of the country.
In Georgia we have to recount a
victory for the Liberal ticket so un
exampled as to take her out of the list
of doubtful States, and practically to
pronounce in advance the decision of
at least 125 votes in the Electoral Col
lege. To this number it is only necessa
ry to add sixty votes to elect Greeley and
Brown.
In Pennsylvania the distinguished
Chairman of the Liberal Committee
has eloquently characterized the meth
ods by which the result of the election
there was accomplished. We com
mend his statement to the thoughtful
attention of the country.
In Ohio, despite most unprecedent
ed gains for the Liberal Democratic
ticket, the Grant managers have car
ried the election by a reduced major
ity, having brought to the polls their
entire reserve vote. Had our Demo
cratic friends in certain localities of
that great Commonwealth shown the
same earnestness and activity, and en
abled us like our enemies to record
our entire strength, they would now
be exulting over a brilliant victory.
In Indiana the Democratic and Liber
al forces have achieved a most impor
tant success over Pennsylvania tactics
most unscrupulously employed by the
Administration and its allies, showing
thus that a free people when aroused
know their rights and dare maintain
them. Indiana has fairly demonstra
ted that she can neiiher be “bought
nor bullied.” The moral of these re
sults is that victory is still in plain
view for our national ticket, and that
energy and courage will assure it.
That victory must ho won. If we
mean to preserve free institutions on
this continent wo must assure it.
The event in Pennsylvania on Tues
day last, when considered in its causes,
is the most appalling political catas
trophe that has ever taken place in
this country. Should the system
through which this catastrophe was
brought about be condoned by the
people and foisted on the other States
it seals the doom of freedom in Ameri
ca. A sad contrast it is surely that
the city in which our Republio was
born amid the anthems of a free
people should now bo the first to toll
the knell of its liberties. It is for the
free, unbought people of all the States
to calmly review the fearful crime
against suffrage in Pennsylvania, aud
to decide whether it shall be repeated
withm their own borders.
For the first time the system of free
government and the sanctity of the
ballot are really on trial in the United
States. From this hour forward the
preservation of the franchise in its
integrity dwarfs all other issues.
Let our friends in each of the
States catch inspiration from the he
roic conduct of our fellow-citizens in
Georgia and Indiana; and from now
till November let their struggle be
manful and uuceasing for liberty and
an untainted ballot-box, for reform
and an honest administration of the
Government.

mittee.
Beautiful Women.—The hair is the crowning
glory of woman. There are few moderate defects
which cannot he remedied by the proper disposi
tion of the tresses. But when the hair begins to
to fall out, or turn gray, in young people, or with
those in the prime of life, there is caase for real
regret, V^hen this is the case. Hall’s Vegetable
Sicilian Hair Renewer will be found to be a first-
class remedy, far superior, aa a sound medical
medium, to any thing else before the public. It
actually restores gray hiar to its original color, and
in the great majority of cases, causes it to grow
again when it is becoming thin. It is not like
many popular preparations, a mere wash, but a
scientific discovery, indorsed and used by physia
cians of character. Address R. P. Hall & Co.,

The Missing Congressman.—The
Hon. John V. Creeley is the member
of Congress from the second district of
Philadelphia, Pa., who is reported as
missing, and his absence attributed to
professional defalcations. The Philadel
phia Ledger says a suit was entered in
August last, in which Mrs. Mary Fear-
on charges that John V. Creeley ob
tained from her certain bonds acquired
from the estate of her deceased hus
band, and that those bonds have been
illegally transferred to other partios
lor the use and benefit of Mr. Creeley.
The bill further prays that Creeley be
compelled to give her these bonds.
He was required, on special injunc
tions, on September 25th to answer
in eight days, but as yet no answer
has been made. The local papers in this
connection, do not state that Mr. Cree
ley has absconded.
Most of the shadows that cross our
path through life are caused by stand
ing in our own light.
If Grant is elected we may look out
for military interference in the affairs
of the South.
From the Courier Journal.
Tho Vote in TTovcmber.
The recent elections prove that Gen.
GraDt and his, friends are capable of
doing anything to perpetuate their
power. With them the wishes of the
people are nothing, and their own re
tention in office everything. Notwith
standing the very considerable majori
ty by which Hartranft is apparently
elected, there is little reason to doubt
that a majority of the qualified voters
of Pennsylvania aro on the Liberal
side. In Philadelphia, the records
show that the impossible number of
one hundred and sixty-five thousand
voters were registered, and a like fraud
was practiced throughout the State
To make this good, Cameron and his
agents imported thousands of repeat
ers from New York, and tens of thou
sands of negroes from Maryland, Vir
ginia and the District of Columbia. In
Indiana the frauds upon the franchise
were equally glaring under the man
agement of Morton & Co. Money was
used Wherever it could be used to ad
vantage, and for weeks before the
election, Kentucky negroes were con
stantly passing over into Indiana at
every ferry to vote the Radical ticket.
That these gigantic frauds failed to
defeat Hendricks is the strongest possi
ble proof that the Liberal majority in
our neighboring States is overwhelm
ing. We call upon the people to arise
in their might and crush the unprinci
pled demagognes who in their lust for
office have been guilty of such heinous
crime against the right of suffrage and
the liberties of the people. Let the
Liberal majority in November be so
overwhelming that it will be impossi
ble for the tricksters to count our can
didates out.

A Dckl Aim its Resclts.—One man serion-ly if cot
not mortally wounded —Th* Duel fought near Cemete
ry—Two of ourooteanporories, yesterday, publ'shed a
card from Mr. Wallaco Haskell relative to a misun
derstanding between himself and Mr. Honstor. Force
As the people ar« generally acquainted with the facts
as stated in that card, we will not reiterate them.
Yesterday evening, the towu was startled by the ru
mor that a duel had been fought by Mr. Houston
Force with Mr J. Harvey Townsend, near the ceme
tery, with shot guns.
The rumor p-oved lo be too true. The parties 'eft
from in front of the National Hotel yesterday evening
and proceed to a little grove in front of the main en
trance to the city cemetery on Fair street. Here the
duel occurred with shot-guns at forty yards, between
sunset and dark. It is rumored that Mr. Force tired
a few seconds alter the word was given, and before
Mr. Towmend had turned. Mr. Townsend did not fire
in the direction of Mr. Force. Two buckshot took
effect in the left elbow and one shot in the hack under
fhe shoulder blade. Dts W. F. Wesmoreland, E. S.
Ray, J. P. Logan and J. T. Johnson attended the un
fortunate man. Two shot and a number of pieces of
bone were extracted from the shattered arm, and the
arm resected. Tho wound in the back was probed to
the depth of four or fivo inches without detecting the
ball. It is uncertain whether the bail entered the
chest or lodged under the shoulder blade. Mr. Town
send is in a critical condition. A warrant has been
issued for the arrest of Mr. Force, but up to twelve
o’clock he had not been found.
The doe! seems to have grown ont of a previous
difficulty betweenMr. Force and Mr. Haskell, which
culminated in the former s caning the latter who chal
lenged Mr. F., Mr. Townsend bearing the challenge.
Mr. Force refused to recognize Mr. Haskell as a gen
tleman, and thn* Mr. Townsend became involved.
The Atlanta Sun, of Sunday morning, says:
It is stated, upon good authority, that the warrant
for Mr. Force’s arrest was not issued at the instance of
Mr. Townsend or any of his family. The family in
deed regret it.
At a late honr last evening Mr. Townsend was still
improving, with a fair prospeetof recovery.
M r. Force was still at large, all eflorta to arrest him
having proved fntile.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority overall remedies ever offer
ed to the public for the safe, certain, speedy and per
manent cure of Ague aud Fever, or Chilis cud Fever,
whether of short or hmg standing, tie refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear him tes
timony to tiie truth of the assertion, that iu no ease
whatever will it fail to cure if the directions aro
strictly followed and carried out. In a great many
cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single bottle,
with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is,
however, prudent, and in every ease more certain to
cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week
or two after the disease has been checked, more es
pecially in difficult and long-standing cases. Usually
this medicine will pot require any aid to keep the bow
els in good order. Should the patient, however, re
quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or
tour doses of the tonic, a single dose of Bull's Vegc
table Family Pills will be sufficient.

Dr. John Bull—Dear Str: M any thanks to you
for the medicine you have so kindly given me. I have
.been a great sufferer for years, and had the advice of
various physicians. Some pronounced my spine, s'»no
my lungs, and some my heart to bo the scat of my -
ease. I have been burnt, blistered and cupped until
I had become disheartened. Several very eminent
physicians who exaimned my spine informed me that
I was threatened with paralyses or appoplexy any day
aud that nothing but a setou would relieve me. I ha i
a perfect horror of that, and was hesitating about
having one inserted, when you kindly sent me your
Sarsaparilla which I immediately begun to take three
times a day. I had suffered terribly with a most
acute pain in the right side of my head, especially
when 1 would road or write for any Icngtn - •! time, and
on rising to my feel I would be perlectiy blind for
several minutes, aud would have to hold to something
to prevent falling.
I am most happy to inform you that the pain in my
head is entirely relieved ; I surfer but seld mi with my
spine and then not so acutely- My appetite is good ;
iudoed for the first time iu my lite I enjoy my dinner
more than any meal during the day.
You kindly sent me four bottles again last night,
aud I began agaiu this morning, and I hope to be en
tirely relieved- Please accept my heartfelt thanks aud
best wishes.
Very truly your most grateful friend,
M. B. C, Rivers.
My journal abounds with similar letters, all of
which 1 guarantee to be genuine and vvr.tten by the
persons whose names they bear.
Do not suffer yourself to be imposed on. Don’t be
drawn away after now and doubtful experiments.
Don’t risk your health by letting novices experiment
upon you with their trash. My Sarsaparilla has -toed
the test for twenty five years i it is still the Sarsaparilla
of the day, and of the age, towering over all others in
popularity and its curative qualities. Avoid all those
who are trying to palm off on you other extracts of
Sarsaparilla, so-called. Remember it is Dr J,.ha
Bull’s Sarsaparilla, of Louisville, Ky-, that i.- the oi l
and reliable remedy lor impurities of the bleed aui
scrofulous affections. Always bear that in mind.

NewYoric, October 17.—The Tri
bune's Washington special says, a letter
has been received from Voorhees, dated
Terre Haute, the 14th, conceding his
defeat and attributing it to apathy.
He says it was simply the stay-at-home
vote in his party, that beat him and
hurt the cause everywhere. Nobody
thought there was a possibility of his
defeat,and overconfidence led hundreds
to stay away from the polls. He is
glad to be able to resume his law prac
tice and closes by saying: “Mr. Gree
ley has personally raised himself in
this canvass a thousand fold in my es

How we Gained in Cincinnati.—The Demo

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the efficacy
of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing and beneficial
qualities it possesses, I send you the following state
ment of my ease:
I was wounded about two years ago, was taken
prisoner and confined for sixteen months. Being
moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I
have not set up a moment since I was wounded. I
am shot through the hips. My general health is im
paired, and I need something to assist nature ; I havo
more faith in your Sarsaparilla than anything else. I
wish that which is gennine. Piease express me half a
dozeh bottles, and oblige.

Dr John Bull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C. S.
Johnson, was a skillful surgeon and physician in Cen
tral New York, where he died, leaving the above C.
P. Johnson to my care. At thirteen years of age he
had a chronic diarrhea and scrofula, tor which I gave
your Sarsaparilla. It cured him. I have for ten
years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever soies, and general debili
ty. Perfect success has attended it. The cures ef
fected in some cases of scrofula and ferer sores were
almost miraculous. I am very anxious for my son
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. He is
fearfnl of getting a spurious article, hence hie writing
to yon font. His wounds were terrible, but I believe
he will recover.
