In order to defend the people of thin county
from a foul calumny, wo find it necessary to
“write up" tho crazy individual wboRo nnmo
hondH this article, and which name nppoarH upou
tho Journal of the House of Representatives as
one of tho members from Troup. In performing
thin duty, it in noconsary to begin by stating
that wo are- informed that ho lias filed an affida
vit iu Atlanta to tho otluot that ho had to leave
LaOmngo because ho was not safo in living
lioro. This ho has done in order to retain his
seat as a member of tho Legislature. Tho true
foot* in tho cneo will ahow how deeply the crea
ture baa perjured his aoul in order to establish
his loyaliy and romain “tho gentleman from
Troup."
Borne yaars ago, McCormick carao to this
place from Pulaski county, or thereabouts, bring
ing with him threo childvon, fleeing from his
wife whom ho charged with adultery. Here he
began to otndy law, nud by aorao hocus-pocus ho
was admitted to tho bar. In consequence of
physical debility ho did not go into tho war, but
was pretty noisy at times in hij devotion to tho

mouo, ooilod snako, who etrike3 his poisonous
fangs at tho unwary as they pass by unconscious
of danger. 8uch is tho man Farrow, according
to his own public spoookca modo when his treaob-
orous soul first turned ite yearning tendrils to
wards the onemleo of his native laud and twined
themeelvee around tho standard of tho Radical
party—receiving nourishment and growth from
the oeos-pools in whioh hia baeo heart drow bus-
tenanco and oxistenoe.
The very impulsos of a depraved uaturo which
impellod Farrow to hold a bomb-proof commission
under the Confederate Government, while (had
he been a Union man &3 he now claims to have
been) he should have declared his real sentiment
like a true and brave man, fearless of conse-
quonoes, induced him, in turn, to boc-omo the
Uok-spittlo of. Congressional Jacobinism in tho
work of crushing a brave ond gallant people
after they were overcome. Had ho fought us
because ho believed we wore wrong aud the
oauae of the Union right, he would have been
entitled to respect for his opinions and for his
far below tho negro’s equal. In tho mean timo,
however, we must not omit to soy, that ho had
obtained a divorce from his first wifo. A year
ago he became a candidate for the Legislature-
how, it is not necoesary to mention. At any
rate ho was suoh to tho groat disgust of tho ne-
groos themselves—so much so that Caldwell and
the few whito managers of tho party in the
county endeavored to got him to decline being a
candidate. McCormick swore he would not
oomo down and threatened to mako some expo
sures of tho frauds in registration if Caldwell
and tho brethren foroed him to resign. The re
sult was, Caldwell had to shoulder Mack and
carry him through the election, which he suc
ceeded in doing successfully by main foroo of
strict party discipline. Notwithstanding tho ne
groes wore forced up to vote for Mack, ho was
the butt of ridicule among them aud rudto boys
during the whole week of the election; but he
faced all sorts of buffeting and ridicule in a man
ner no deeont man could have borne. Thus was
Mack elected to the Legislature.
Timo grew a pace. Mack was without money
and without credit. Tho Legislature was called
together, and Mack had neither money or clothes
to pay his way up to Atlauta or to appear in do-

It seems to fall to the lot of this printer to
hnvo to (insure and criticise st-Vcioly tho actings
and doings 6f prominent men in tho Radical
party. This is done in uo spirit of love for
such work. Nothing is more distasteful. Words
of praise aud commendation arc far more prefer
able aud pleasant. Would to God that only
suoh comments upon the tho public actions of
men could appear in theso columns. Nothing
on earth affords more real and genuine pleasure
than to have something pleasant aud commend
able to say of our follow-men. But as long or
men continue to bo corrupt, so long it will bo
necoesary to apply tho oditorial knifo in order to
removo tungna sores from tho body politic. As
long as there are Georgians, true and noble, to
bo defended and thoir enemies scathed, so long
will the editorial knifo have to bo applied with a
vigorous baud aud a steady nerve. These sores
upon the body politic mtuf be ond shall be re
moved, though it may not bo done with tho
science and skill of ou accomplished surgeon.—
Tho work is foul aud tho job a dirty ono. Hands
may bo befouled—but the work must be done —
not as a matter of pleasure, but as a labor of
love and of patriotism for tho country and of
the publio good.

Tho Grifiln Star has been running a series of
personal sketches of members of tho Goorgia
Legislature, iu which tho following serious ono
occurs:
“Parson Caldwell, representative from the
old, wealthy, and highly respectable county of
Troup, is tho culmination of political and indi
vidual rascality. Ho steals tho livery of Heaven
to serve tho devil in. Uo is a man of energy
aud ability. Professing to servo the Lord “ in
tho beauty of holiness," he is accused of being
very amorous, and quite successful in his amours,
more especially among tho colored sisters. Dur
ing tho war, he was a great war man; operating,
however, exclusively in the renr of the army.—
At tho close of the i.trugglo, ho favored guerrilla
warfkrc to the bitter end; but soon jumped tho
Radical horse, and been me the especial champion
of niqgordom. Recently he has got on Bard’s
platform, and is now as mild as a “ turk!o".dovo.
From his past actions and his general appear
ance, we take him to bo a great scoundrel, with
uo redeeming trails."
Now Fitch, tho “ irrepressible," you have
slandered a great aud good man—one who has
sacrificed honor and friends to servo his country.
A patriot of tho highest order, a Christian of the
meekest 1'retensiouB, a minister of the pure and

he was a traitor to the Union in holdiug a Con-1
fedonfte commission; ho waa a traitor to the
land of his nativity in holding that commission
for false purposes; ho was a traitor to his kind
in trying to appear what ho was not; ho made
himself doubly treacherous by betraying his
country and his God in concealing in his bosom 1
.the foul designs which prompted nim to disown !
the Union by accepting a Confederate coming,
eion, and then denying tho “Lost Cause" oefore
tho oock had thrice crowed. Suoh i.^ Farrow—a
true typo of the leading creatures, of the Radical
party in Goorgia-tho political lacquey of one
Rufus B. Bullock, carrying his Excellency’s car
pet-bag from place te placo.
Farrow telh^ nls friend Dickey that, on a ocr-
taiu day, Vne Georgia bill was “ discussed until
the hour of adjournment arrived, and as there
wero but two more days before tho time fixed
for Congress to adjourn, it was not again takon
np, but, like many other important bills, was
'Compelled to lay over until next December.”—
Ho then goes ou to say that “ the friends of the
Constitution aud tho reconstruction laws in
Georgia may rest assured that both Congress
and President Grant aro firmly resolved that
Amoric&u citizens shall bo protooted wherever
tho American flag floats, and that upon the re
assembling of Congress, all needful*legislation
tci/t be enacted." He adds to this declaration that
the people of Goorgia ore placed on their good
behavior. That is, if Georgians all become
traitors to their homos aud their race as he is,
they will not be rigidly dealt with. Ever}- true
man must loath this man Farrow and spurn his
vile threats. He gives us to understand, in ad
vance, that Georgia is not to bo permitted to
enjoy quiet until her citizens are disfranchised
and outlawed, and such men as he, aliens to
their native land by treachery, shall rule tho
State. He gives us to understand, beforo hand,
that it will be his mission, in conjunction with
the oreatures who act with him, to annoy, dis
tract and confuse the prosperity of tho State by
keeping up a constant political turmoil and strife
in our midst. Treachery and discord arc the
♦lements of his existence- if there bo no personal
<Unger incurred thereby. He did not have the
manhood to fight us by fighting for tho Union.
Ho skulked and slunk from the dangers of the
battle-field on cither eide hy holding a Confed
erate commission. No true man—m? bra to man
—would havo been guilty of such baso conduct.
He is unworthy of the confidence of cither party
to the late war. His incendiary counsels and
puerile threats, where there is no danger, should
be treated with tho contempt that tho words of
a political poltroon desorves at tho hands of
either party in the late war. Neither can trust
him—neither can respect him.
We have given this man Farrow a prominence
in this article not so much that wo think ho de
serves it, but to 6how to tho peqnle of Georgia
what kind of men are thrown to tho surface, in
these corrupt times, to live and fatten on their
jmbstance. While the true men of the State aro
striving to build up their shattered fortunes and
the prosperity of tho country, such men aa Far-
tow are drawing their support from their hard-
earned taxes only to slander them and to tra
duce their motives and to pull down their inter
ests. The people aro taxed to support Farrow
in an office houses to dishonor and malign them.
But little of his support comes from his own de
luded party. It is composed mainly of paupers
and a vile lazzaroni, who pay little or no taxes.
Such is the man whose mission is to disturb
and harrnss the public peace and retard the
prosperity of the State, by doing all he can to
make uncertain the status of the State in the
Union. He is determined that the people shall
be taxed without representation unless misrep
resented by such men as lie and his friends.—
The corrupt legislation of Congress finds ready
and pliant tools in the persons of such men—
who, without such aid, would be unknown, but
who, being known, aro only known to bo scorned
and despised by all truo men and patriots.
But, if the pooplo of Georgia will only be true
to themselves—and thoy will be; if they will re
main firm in their purpose to resist such influ
ences by all lawful means—and they will do it;
;if they will quietly pursue the even tenor of their
way, spurning .threads and scorning jDolitical
.mountebanks—and we are sure they will; if they
will make every effort to observe the law and to
preserve.order—and they do both: wo say, with
this line af conduct quietly pursued, all striving
for prosperity, farrow, and his co-workers, will
be forgotten by .Congress in December and
Georgia vdll.be left to work out her own destiny.
Her status will remain as it is, so far as a second
reconstruction is concerned.

calling into requisition tho sword and ’oavonot
to mould public opinion or subdue it in their
favor. Born and reared in Georgia, 'yvith every
impulse of our hoart and every asp Antion of our
soul throbbing and swelling for iho honor and
pride of o# dear old State, we* cannot silently
and calmly look on with Indifferonco at the
efforte of these men to traduce and malign her
people. Tho bitter asperities engendered by
tho conduct of theeo mo.n towards our own peo
ple cannot be restraine d, and henco, tho severity
of tho criticisms which appear in those oolumus
from time to time. Ho that will not dofend his

and ho that will not dofend his own country—his
own people—hin’ncighbora and friends—deserves
to have neithey.
W hen politics wero confinod to legitimate dis
cussion ns to tho best mode to arrivo at certain

War with England.
Some of tho Radical members of tho United
States Senate scorn anxious to kick up n muss
with England and to havo a “ sharp and decisive"
fight. Chandler made a warlike speech iu the
Senate on Monday last. Ilo hoped for a peuce-
ablo settlement on the basis of his resolution,
but if England wanted war, let it, ho stud, be
1 short, sharp and decisive. The CO,000 Michigan
veterans alone would look out for tho Canadas.
I The resolution was referred to the Committee on
I Foreign Relations.
Beforo “ Undo Sam” goes into another fight,
j would n’t it be well to “fix up things" at home
first? Would n’t it bo wise to conciliate the six
miiiic U3 df whito Southern pooplo who aro

anny than that wiwh opfi^csses any other peo
ple on tho globe ? Tho Southern people don’t
want to fight. They would hardly fight for
their oppressors. So, if tho Northern people
wish to fight, let it be their fight and not purs,
at least until by a just and humane administra
tion of tho Constitution and laws of our own
Government we can be made to feel that that
Government is no longer an oppressive central
ized power. No people like a government that
oppresses them. It is but a law of nature to be
ready to give allegiance to any rule that will af
ford protection when it cannot bo secured at
home.
Really, tho United States is not prepared for
a war with England or any other first class pow
er. Tho Government is deeply in debt, aud
weak in the confidence of tho people of a large
section of the country. First, let the powers of
the Government be wielded so as to conciliate
domestic disquietude and prove to the world a
protecting and benignant spirit towards the peo
ple of all sections, and then Mr. Chandler need
not fear a war with England “ short, sharp and
decisive."

warrant its publication. It has done good ser
vice in exposing tho rottenness of the Radical
party for the past few months.
Tho Constitution says “old Tigo" is com
ing to La Grange on a velocipede—not on the
“wild hunt for office"—but to find a wife. The
girls need n’t scare at his name which is fero
cious enough, but the man himself is as gentle
as a pet Rhecp—that is, when not in battle line,
and in company with tho ladios.
When Gov. Bullock drow $20,000 of the
State’s money from the Fourth National Bank,
the other day, he mentally exclaimed, “mine
horn shall be exalted liko tho horn of an uni
coni; for I am anointed with fresh oil.”
Bullock telegraphed to Blodgett whon
Congress adjourned without action in the Geor
gia bill, that “all waa lost save honor." That,
he and his friends had not to lose.
It is whispered that Sam Bard is trying
to get bade into tho Democratic party. If he
steps into our ranks let him be kicked out.
f&S*If you want to see a mud Bullock shako
a red rag at-the Governor. ,IJe is particularly
vicious just now.
