"ATLANTA"' AND 8BHAT0R QORDON.
THE THAN KLIN CONVENTION.
THE CONTROL OF THE 8ENATE,
\\q tiro very ranch pained to rend in the At-
lA itn Oouiititution ot Tumlny, n oommunion-
tion BiHUod “Atlnutn" ranking n violent and
studied attack ou Senator Gordon. Before re-
plying to it, we should like to reproduce the
article, but ns it oaoupion nearly two oolnmuH
and a halt, we cannot And room for it. Wo
feel, however, that ho insidious an attempt to
undermine the fame of our gallant and honora
ble Senator, should not be ignored by any one
of his friends who can raise an arm, however
feeble that arm may bo, in his behalf.
The writer, “Atlanta,” starts out by enumer
ating the distinguished men who wrote in tavor
of Atlanta for tho capital, and praising them
elaborately, lie theu goes on to show in what
marked contrast with them is the conduct of
Senator Gordon, who is accused of first consent
ing to make speeches, but not doing so, and
atterwards refusing to write a letter in favor of
Atl nta. The proofs of the accusation are furn
ished in copies of two letters written by Gen.
Gordon. One of them, dated “Kirkwood,
Sept. 13, 1877,” says it would give tho wri er
pleasure to accept an invitation which had been
extended, to mako several sp- oches, if he should
find himself physically able before his return to
Washington. He was then suffering greatly
from a carbuncle. The other was dated “Wash
ington, Nov. 8," iu response to a letter from a
number of Atlanta men, dated Oct. 23, asking
a letter in favor of Atlanta. In this second let
ter, Gen. Gordon says that bis personal inter
ests iu Atlanta * ‘arc so manifest as to deprive
any argument I could submit in its favor of all
influence it might otherwise have with the peo
ple of Georgia. My owu preferences are very
well known, and I am sure that mature reflec
tion will bring you, as it has me, to the oon-
elusi *n that my official relations to tho people
of the whole State would seem to require that I
should abstain from the use of any influence
which my official position hero might give
me, in au attempt to control the votes of the
people in a matter so peculiarly oue of local in
terest, and w hich has been wisely submitted to
the judgmeut of the people by the constitu
tional convention."
It will be seen that Gen. Gordon consented
to make speeches (about something which “At
lanta” does not state, but which we are left to
inter) provided he became well enough betore
he left for Washington. He did not make the
speeches, and we can safely conclude that his
physical condition did not improve sufficiently
to allow it. 'Die next we hear from him is after
he went to Washington, when he says that ma
ture reflection had convinced him that it was
his duty to abstain from taking part in the con
test over the capital. This was bis offense, and
lor this he is charged by "Atlanta" for violating
his promise because ho was afraid to perform it.
It is late iu the day to charge John li. Gordon
with unfaithfulness and cowardice. “Atlanta,"
the bruve writer of ihe anonymous commu
nication, may believe such a thing; but if be
does, (which we doubt) he is tho only man in
the Slate who does—except, perhaps, his dis
tinguished father. Dishonor does not attach to
tho name of Gordon; it glances off with no
more impression than a sunbeam makes on pol
ished gold. And as for cowardice, the idea is
preposterous. Gordon’s bravery was as con
spicuous! in peace as iu war. In the dark days
of reconstruction, lie fought gallantly and un
tiringly lor his oppressed State; while somewl.o
l’.ow decry him, loitered in their tent?, or skulk
ed ns camp-followers of the enemy. Did “At
lanta” belong to either of those parties?
It would be as reasona' le at this late day, to
charge George Washington with complicity
with Benedict Arnold. As a brave man,morally
and physically, John 13. Gordon stands to-day
the peer of any man in Christendom; and as a
true man his reputation is no less. But here is
au anouymous writer, iu the Atlanta Constitu
tion, charging Mm with cowardice and unfaith
ful ness. Phew! “Au ounce of civet, good
apothecary!”
If Atlanta as a community, or the leading men
of Atlanta, or any portion of them, think they
can influence the Senatorial election a year li-race
by any such means as tho letter of “Atlanta,”
they will find themselves badly—very badly—
mistaken. The people of Georgia know Gor
don, and they cannot be hoodwinked by “Atlan
ta” anonymous,or Atlanta victorious. We have
the highest opinion ot the influence wielded by
oar esteemed cotemporary, the Constitution;
but we tell it, as a friend, that if it attempts to
defeat Gordon, it will find tho task as hopeless
as that of Sisyphus. The people, or their rep
resentatives, will never be convinced that it was
a crime for Gordon not to advocate Atlanta; on
the contrary, n large and respectable number of
them think it was a great virtue.
We insist that Gen. Gordon had the same
right iu this matter as any other citizen ot
Georgia—the right to do as he honestly thought
best. We believed that Senator Hill had a per
fect right to write his letter in favor of Atlanta;
and we defended him when he was attacked.
We believe as strongly that Gorlon had a per
fect right to abstain from participation in the
canvass. Not only so; but be had an unques
tionable right to advocate Milledgeville, if Tiin
convictions had led him that way; and we
should have wanted him re-clected Senator, all
the same—and so would the people of Georgia.
Atlanta has just emerged from a battle in
which she was grandly victorious, but she
should remember that she was victorious only
because she bad right on her side. She is not
invincible; she beat Milledgeville because a ma
jority of the voters was with her. If she inaug
urates a fight on Gordon, she will find herself
alone,’ with the whole State of Georgia against
her. Those who voted for her as tho capital,
did so because they believed it to be for the best,
iuterests of the State. They do not belong to
her, and will not do her bidding. She cannot
marshal them at her command, to gratify her
spite or to wreak vcugauce on her supposed en
emies. They care very little whether Gordon
was in favor of Atlanta or not. They want
liim for Senator, and they are going to have
him. They have instructed their ^representatives
to vote for him, and most of the representatives
did not need instruction.
“Atlanta” says Gordon favored Norwood, in
preference to Hill for the Senate lust January.
What if he did ?
He had as much right to prefer one as the
other. Any oue who denies that is a blind par
tisan. Wo advocated Hill as best we could,
and induced the citizens of LaGrango to bold a
public meeting to exhort the members of the
Legislature to vote for him; but we are not so
Winded by partiality or prejudice as to deny fo
others the right to differ with us. Gordon was
responsible, in this matter, not to Atlanta, but
lo bjs own conscience.
The letter of “Atlanta" is doubtless the begin
ning of a woll-planned series of attacks upon
Gen. Gordon, which will be made with the pur
pose of injuring his popularity and defeating
him before the Legislature next November. It
ia a big job—a very difficult job—and we call
t*pon the press of the State to rally around our
gallant leader and make it more difficult still.
He is at his post—he is battling at tho front as
Conkling and Edmunds well know. Let ns de
fend him against the masked batteries which
would attack him from the rear.
Mb. Editor: My attention has been called to
au article in your issuo of December 0, over tho
signature of E. D. Pitman,io which he proposes
to review tho work ol tho Eraukliu convention.
The Doctor seems perfectly indignant at the
Carroll delegates, iu daring to assume the re
sponsibility thrown upon them by tho delegatee
Irom Troup, and insists that it was a great
wrong because Carroll did not vote for him. As
a geuerul rule it is unnecessary to reply to the
charges and vain threatuiugs ot defeated candi
dates (for they ought to have all the consolation
they can find in their defeat) but tho “truth of
history" and the high character and reputation
of Dr. Pitman demand a reply, uud if some of
the reasons why Carroll did not vote for the
Doctor are not very complimentary to him, he
will txcUHe us, for perhaps it is ou’y the reason-
lug of a politician, like the Dr’s, letter, therefore
don't amount to much.
Carroll delegates presented tho name of Col.
Slaughter, t elieving that it would bo but justice
to oudorse him as lie had only served threefourths
of the time lor which bo was elected, and on
tho second ballot he received five votes: That
and several other ballots stood Slaughter 5—Pit
man 3i—Speer 13. It was thought by the Car-
roll delegates and one Irom Heard,that as Troup
was so hopelessly divided, Col.Slaughter should
bo returned and that Troup would eventually
yield. About the tbiitieth ballot Col. Slaughter’s
name was withdrawn, but not until be bad re
ceived six votes, one or two of the Speer dele
gates voting for him.
There was no filibustering to prevent a nomi
nation, but several boms wero spent by Carroll
and one delegate from 11 aid (half the conven
tion) trying to pet the Troup delegates to agree
upon some man from Troup. But they contin
ued to “agree to disagree," until oue delegate
Heard anuouneed his inteutiou to vote for
Speer, tho other Dr. Pitman’s brother continued
to vote for ihe Doctor. The Doctor’s Irieuds
seemed determined to nominate him; ho being
there liimsell iu person,which no doubt inspired
them with greater zeal iu his behalf. Ou tho
secoud ballot after tho Troup delegates returned
from their private conference, Speer received
43—Pitman 3i; one other stood tho same way,
tho delegate from Carroll of the legal persuasion
not voting, but one from Carroll and oue from
Heard, both of the medical persuasion, could not
for some cause be , persuaded lo vote for a
gentleman ot ti e same persuasion, but cast their
three votes for Mr. Speer, which gave him 43.
Seeing that it a nomination was not made then,
perhaps there would be none at all, and tho con
vention breik up iu confusion,the delegate from
Carroll of the legal persuasion, simply stated
that lor the sake of hurmony and lor the purpose
of making a nomii.atiou and ending the matter,
he would vote for Speer which made C;i tho num
ber necessary to a choice.
After we found that it was impossible for the
Troup delegates to agree, Carroll’s and the un
pledged deh gate from Heard did not feel bound
to respect tho claim of either candidate, but iu
order to nominate some oue they were com
pelled to have oue and two-thirds more votes
than they had. As the responsibility was on us
we determined to do what we believed to be for
the best interest of the whole District; and do a
work which wo believed the people would will
ingly ratify at the polls. In this we succeeded
admirably, and ou returning home retrieved
irom our constituents the welcome plaudit
“well done good aud faithful servants.”
If Dr. Pitman is disappointed he has no one
to blame but Troup County, for if the delegates
from that Couuty could have united upon him,
Carroll and H< ard would nave agreed to it will
ingly. Dr. Pitmau is the only man we have
heard of who is dissatisfied with tho action of
that convention,but it wou’t bo long till Troup’s
turn again, then our advice to tho Dr. is try, try
again. A Delegate from Carroll.
Carrollton,Ga., Dec 11th, 1877
Tho llepublicans know full well thai their
power can last but iourteen mouths longor, bar
ring all aooideuts, and that in 1870 the Sennto
will have a Democratic majority of from four to
twelve. Their solo hope is to arouse sectional
prejudices, to turn back tho clock of time, to
oouvuIho the Union with false alarms, to revlvo
the Man-ou-llorspbaek and to throttle liberty,
conciliation aud traffic with oue monstrous en
deavor. We can well comprehend that the mest
poignant anguish of all Hprings from the fact
that the Rolid South is doing all their busiuoBH
for them and that their coup de grace comes from
a section they so heartily doBpUo and which
they hud so sedulously and diabolically endeav
ored to stamp out. They forget that tho South
is simply turning their weapons against them.
Mr. Redtield, one of their owu party members,
but an exceedingly just and well-poised man,
reminds them of thiH in these words:
“The Republicans themselves are the archi
tects of their own immediate ruin. For in
stance, thero would be no possibility of the
Democrats getting control before 1879 if they*
the Republicans, had not organized the wild
lands ol Virginia into a separate State and given
it t\\ o Senators. So far «» tlie Southern States
are concerned, thero is no prospect that they
will send up other than Democrat Senators lor
many years to come. Now that power is so
near their grasp no sensible man can expect
them to “split up" or revive the old Whig party,
or anything of that sort. After March, 1879,
there will bo but oue Republican Senator from
the entire South—Bruce, of Mississippi. Ho
goes out in 1881, and of course will be succeeded
by a Democrat. The one hundred thousand
majority which tho Democrats have iu Mississ
ippi, more or less, and likely more than less,
points strongly to a Democrat in place of Bruce
as soon as Bruce gets out ol the way. The Con
gressional delegation Irom that State is already
solid. After March, 1879, the Democrats will
have thirty Seuators from tho Southern States
and tho Republicans barely two 1 How does
that striko you? Somewhat solid, no doubt.
What the late slave Sates have lost in slaves
they have gaiued iu political power, and, being
welded in compact ma66, will ultimately dictate
the national policy."
Coutronted with these tremendous facts, the
Republicans rage like heathen; but the Demo
crats cau afford to preserve their equauimity
and show, by superios manliness, tliaV they
deserve their wonderful luck. They bold the
comer of advantage aud should not imperil it.
The evil genius of the preseut Senate is a carpet
bagger. He represents Nemesis and shows bow
providentially the schemes of bad men are
brought to destruction by their own instru
ments. The Democrats already possess the
substance of power without responsibility.
They cau employ themstdvos most worthily by
adding as little tuel as possible to the flame of
sectional, discord, so that when the control ol
the Senate shall actually come, a few months
hence, it will bo but a prelude to tho coutrol of
the whole country by an overwhelming popular
endorsement. —Augusta Chronicle.

Alluding to tho position of Georgia editors

if Mr. Huff were made tho Democratic candidate
for Governor of Georgia. Funny man, Mr. Hill!

We have no idea that Mr. Hill said anything
of the sort. He may, however, have alluded to

other reputation, he will be known as the build

In passing,we take time to congratulate Hon*
