DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1886.
A Curd. |
Editor Enquircr-Sun: As the friendly ]
rivalry among the admirers of the respec- |
live democratic candidates for the
nomination for governor has been
ended by an appeal to the
ballot box, and as we are once more a
united political family, our whole object
should be to submit to the will of the ma
jority of our party fairly expressed. J trust
you will not deem it obtrusive on my pan
to submit a few remarks partly personal to
myself.
In the heat of political debate many
things are said for political purposes that
oftentimes do not fairly express the posi
tion and motives of persons, especially pri
vate citizens who are not allowed an
opportunity of setting themselves right ul
the time.
At the recent meeting at Temperance
hall on the night before the primary elec
tion iny name was freely handled as 1 judge
from the newspaper report. Taking that
report as correctly made, and without
going into particulars, or usring harsh
terms to characterize them, for I believe
the gentlemen using them are personally
friendly to me, though differing widely oh
the questions involved, I desire to say that
l learned for the first time that I was the
"leader of the Bacon movement in Musco
gee.” This does me too much honqrj'or I do
not deserve it . It properly belongs to others.
The Bacon club was organized at a time
when 1 was recovering from a spell of illness
and I was never a member of it, though I
sympathized heartily with its purposes. I
•can recall but few instances in which I have
mentioned the subject of politics, unless it
was first introduced by others, but I do say
all honor to those who expressed their
convictions openly, whether on one side
or the other, for God grant that the day
will never come in Muscogee when politics
shall mean policy, and that public opinions
■shall be the result of a still hunt to find out
which is the strong side. Many of my
strongest personal friends were open and
avowed supporters of a candidate whose
nomination I opposed, and I honor them
for the manly way in which they strove to
succeed. It satisfies me that the democratic
party when united is invincible. Long may
it be so, and let us settle these family dis
putes inside of the party.
So much for politics. I am only a pri
vate citizen. I am a candidate for no of
fice and would accept none. I simply de
sire to attend to my own business, but I do
desire the good will of my fellow citizens
in this my home where I was born and
raised. Hence, you will pardon me for al
luding to a remark at tne public meeting
referred to, to-wit: “But it
was all right for Garrard, the
county commissioner, to turn over free
of charge the county convicts to Garrard,
the railroad man.”
If this charge was made it is almost too
absurd to notice, but as many of our citi
zens do not sec the county convicts for
months at a time, it might be supposed i
that they were working on the railroad.
Tne county convicts are at work on the
brickyard canal, and will continue there, '
weather permitting, until it is finished.
They have never done a day’s work on the !
railroad, and never will so long as the pres- |
cut board of commissioners exists. It was
never contemplated to disband the present
chain gang and put them on the railroad.
It was once considered desirable to allow
the Georgia Midland railroad to use con- !
victs from other counties obtained at their
•own expense, they, of course, paying the
counties from whom obtained what
ever they might charg •, and it was
expressly stipulated that the county
•of Muscogee should be at no expense for
such convicts so sent here.
One of the main objects of the act of the
legislature which was referred to, and
which I did write at the request of the j
•board of commissioners of the county, was
to allow said board of commissioners to
work said county convicts outside of the
limits of Muscogee county on public roads, 1
under such arrangements as we might j
make with the county authorities of the
-counties through which we might pass, j
We expect, if we can do so, to build a firstr :
-class wagon road to Buena Vssta, Cusseta j
and Lumpkin, and in this way help the
trade of Columbus, if we can do so without
:any expense to Muscogee while the con-
-vicits are outside of the county. Before !
this act was passed we could not do this. |
Is it a bad act ? If it is, I accept the en
tire responsibility for it.
Now as to my being a railroad man, and I
one of the Georgia Midland Construction
Company, when the Georgia Midland rail- I
road was first organized, I was told that it j
iyould be almost impossible to get one man !
•«i.o would put up enough money to build j
;tht road, and that it would be equally as
hard to get non-residents to advance the
money as a partnership on account of the I
pej-soual liability that one man would have j
for his partner’s acts, so I was requested !
as a lawyer to draw up a charter for a con- j
struction company, which I did, and which J
1 tendered free of charge to any set of men ]
wlio would take it and build the road. |
I never got a cent for it, and only re
quired the company to pay the court cost
and the advertising fee.
A month after the matter above referred
to I was told that the company had
been arranged for in New York,
and I was asked for the charter which I
' had thought so little about that I had not
'even taken it out of the clerk’s office of
the superior court. I gave up the charter,
and assisted in drawing up the formal or
ganization of the company. I was re
quested to subscribe a fractional amount
of the stock in said company to complete
the organization, which I did. If this
makes me a railroad man I am a very
-small one, for I must confess that when
the charge was made that I was a member
of the construction company, and that
said company was employing convicts,
I did not know whether it was true or not
until I went to the office of the company
and was tiiere informed that the company
hud not a single convict employed, and
nothing to do with them, and that the
parties using them were sub-contractors
under the parties who contracted with
the company.
Go far as my record as county commis
sioner is concerned, I leave that with the
people of Muscogee county to say whether
I have used the office for private ends. I
never sought the office. 1 took it in 1872
at tlie request of the grand jury, and have
held it ever since in the same way, and
have never received a cent of compensa
tion in the way of fees or otherwise.

Salem, Ala., July 6.—From observation
and information received, if we are not
deceived, must say that the democracy of
Lee county is in u demoralizing condition,
. o far as relates to county politics. And
why all tliis? Is it because there are no
leaders to conduct the party in organiza
tion? Is it because the people are not true
to the principles of democracy? And are
we halting and wavering between democ
racy and radicalism?
No; such is not the case. There are lead
ers whom, we fear, are too much disposed
to letlseli-principles,"self-aggrandisement,
self-interest, control them rather than the
good of the party, and would lead the peo
ple to the very doors of ruin rather tnan
sacrifice one jot or tittle of what they think
to be right.
We have men whom we fear would let
feeling and prejudice towards their fellow-
mail over-rule them with such bitterness
as to cause a division in the party ranks;
and we would ask the question to-day, has
this not been the cause, to a great extent, ,
of the downfall of every political party
that has become extinct in years past and ;
gone ? And is it not time that the people
of Lee county should awaken to the sense*
of so great a political evil existing to-day
among the democratic party, rise up and
show by their acts and votes that we will
not be ruled and governed by such leaders
as have no political good of the party in j
view, but in order to down a man they will !
down the party ? Is it not time to pause I
and think where we are drifting ? Do we i
not see men to-day who are striving
to defeat his fellow-man, who is as
pure a democrat as “Simon” ever was,
working with that zeal to defeat him ns if
he wasiblack with “Mahoneism” or other
“isms,” and would drive him from the i
ranks of his party rather than he should
come in and take office, when the voice of
the people in a majority may be for him?
And why is it so? Is it because his po- [
litical acts have been such that the people
or party should ignore him? Or is it not
on account of a feeling existing between
them as individuals that should not be
laid before the people or brought before 1
the party to defeat him against the wishes .
of the people?
I think if we should say that the south
ern people are of that blood and stripe that
they will not be forced or driven into
measures, we would not speak amiss. Then
partv leaders, whoever you may lie, pause,
reflect and think. Is it not better that you
should sacrifice your own feelings, your !
own interest, rather than bring destruc
tion to the party?
Let not prohibition, stock law, nor any- J
thing else De brought into the great politi- ,
cal questions of the day. Do we not see
the warfare that is raging to-day between
two great political giants for the suprema
cy of power—“democracy,” “radicalism,”
and if we are divided among ourselves
how long do we expect to stand, or hold
the balance of power even in our own
county? 4
If a man is a prohibitionist let him be
one. If he is a stock law man let him ex
ercise that right. These are things that
should never be allowed to enter the ranks j
of a political party. These are things that
no one should ever be clothed with to cjual-
ify him for an office, for they are sectional
in their nature. The people should never
run such a one for an office under such a
banner, for whoever is elected should be
a servant of the whole people and not of a
few. He should be an officer for the anti
prohibitionist as well as the prohibitionist,
for the anti-stock law men as well as the
stock law men, to make and administer
laws for one as well as the other.
Then again, there arc some who are
never satisfied politically, who place them
selves in the race before the people, and
should they be defeated are too ready to
cry out “fraud,” and rather than suffer
defeat would almost sacrifice friends as
well as .party. Such men the people
should not have to rule over them. They
should seek such men like unto the great I
and noble Lee, who, when he found he
was conquered, laid his sword at the feet |
of his conqueror.
Finally, we would say that the above, is not i
written in favor of or" against any one, hut
looking only to the good of the country,
the interest of the people of all classes,
knowing no north, no south, no east, no
n est, but the people of the whole state as
well as county. , J. N. H.

Delta, Macon County, Ga., July 6.—
Delta is a new country post office, at Og-
«rns store, in the northern part of Macon
county, six miles south of Reynolds, Tny-
. >r county, its railroad depot, express and
telegraph office. The office was estab
lished about four weeks ago. We have a
i d-weekly mail, which is quite n con
venience. Heretofore we received our mail
..•om the Reynolds office. During the busy
■ eason with farmers they were almost dc-
; rived of mail privileges, it being so far to
he office. The office was obtained by
end through the influence of the Hon.
i ’hnrles F. Crisp, our representative in
congress. This act alone, to say nothing
if other valuable service rendered in the
. ast. would return him to congress by the
oters of this immediate section, imwith-
•. anding he Is now opposed by one Mr.
ate Arthur.
We a 1 delight in political excitement,
l.mt regret to say that as Mr. McArthur
will get up no excitement, we will have no
run in the approaching congressional elec
tion. Excitement on the gubernatorial is
sue lias nearly subsided, Bacon waving re
ceived the delegation from this county.
Candidates for county offices now claim
the privilege of an extended hand shaking
with their friends. The campaign prom
ises to be a lively one, notwithstanding
tnev must run until January.
Commencing with the prohibition elec
tion on the fifth of May, Macon county will
remain in a fevered state until the election
of county officials in January.
We had the heaviest rain last night thn
lias fallen in many years, lb commenced
raining about 8 o’clock and rained inces
santly until 4 this morning, at times falling
in torrents, the wind blowing a perfect
hurricane all night. Some say the night
was not even surpassed in terror by the de
structive wind and rain storm of Septem
ber, 1882. All crops have been greatly
damaged. One farmer says he thinks the
wind and rain damaged his corn two hun
dred bushels and other crops in proportion.
Flint river is over all the swamp lands and
still rising. The corn is all submerged. ;
The farmer’s outlook is indeed gloomy.
Owing to previous rains and the present
condition of the earth it is impossible to ,
kill any grass.

citizen, was buried near here yesterday. |

of tha total for the entire twelve months,
the Railway Age predicts that not less than
8000 miles will be laid in 188*i. The mile
age of new track rose steadily from 2280 in
S77 to ll,o88 in 1882. Then it began to de
line, falling to 8741 in 1883, 3826 in 1881,
and 3200 in 1886. Now the corner lias been
Mirned, and the mileage for 1880 will prob-

The south is beginning to attract a gront
deal of attention as a good field for in
vestment in railroad property. The reasons
are obvious: The south is growing very
iipidly; the freight in large quantities is
already here waiting to be moved, and the
absence of strikes makes the regularity
of business very certain. Cnder these
circumstances capitalists consider their
money more secure hero than elsewhere.

Macon Telegraph, 5th.
Colonel E. C. Machen, in flue health and
spirits, arrived in Macon yesterday from
New York.
A Telegraph man at once sought him,
and gleaned from him some information
concerning his road.
“ You see,” said he, “our road goes to
Athens. A committee of gentlemen from
that city, Messrs. Reeves, Hodgson, Jordan,
Thomas and Barrow, called on me at my
office in New York, and as they were busi
ness men on a business errand, it did not
require but little time to fix up matters.
The people of Athens, and by the way they
are a splendid people, offered me a right of
way from Monticello to Athens, and $153,-
000 in subscriptions. I immediately signed
the contract with them, and now as soon
as the route is settled upon, the Covington
and Macon will enter the Classic city.
There are two routes, one by Social Circle
and one by Madison. The survey by the
former route has been made, and the engi
neering corps nre now ready to sight their
theodolite and stake off' the route. The
Athens people are now hard at work on
these two ways, and all I am waiting for
are the deeds to the right of way.”
“What about that portion of your road
being now ironed?”
“Splendid. Go down and look at it and
you will find there is no. prettier road. It
is well laid, and yet is a new road. We
have, 1 suppose, seven or eight miles on
t he east Side of the river ready for the cars.
The construction engine is running over
this part of the road now, and on Wednes
day 1 will have here in Macon two of my
new Baldwin engines. There was no par
ticular need of them just now, but they
were built a little earlier than 1 expected,
and I will have them here ready for use."
“What about the bridge being washed
away?”
“Doesn’t amount to a row of pins. ! saw
it tills morning and f would contract my
self to have it again in shape for $2<KI.
While it was annoying to the bridge con
tractors, their actual loss will be small. By
the latter part of this week I feel certain
the bridge will be intact again. A few car
loads of the iron for the iron bridge is here
and the balance will quickly follow.”
“How about the Florida extension?”
“Well, I am not able to say a great deal
about that just now. You must wait until
1 get buck from New York, which will I"
in about two weeks. I can say this much,
however, I have raised the money to ex
tend my road into Florida, and I am
anxious to make the extension, but tin
people along the line must do their part.
I have told them exactly what they must
do and what 1 expect of them, and they
will comply I think. I shall not lie able on
this flying trip to go down and sot* what
they have done, but will do so u lien I come
again.”
“I am glad,” continued Col. Medium "to
see that your ptople Were pleased with the
idea of going to Athens, i have .some
other happy surprises in store for you, but
I am not able to even hint at what tin y
arc just now. You will see that by my
road you will have the northern mail
twelve hours earlier than you gel ilium.
It will come by the Richmond and Dan
ville direct. By the way, let me correct
one of your errors. My road is not the
Richmond and Danville, but an independ
ent line, though 1 do not care much w lull
you call it. We connect with that road,
that is all.”
And then the colonel said “good day."
and began a talk with his civil engineer.

Activity hi Kniliiii) Const run ion.
There arc indications of an encouraging
revival of activity in the department of
railway construction. The Railway Age
has obtained full and official statements
concerning work of this kind now going
on, and publishes a table showing that in
the first six months of 1886 there were laid
1755 miles of new main track. Inasmuch as
the mileage laid in the first six months of
a year is generally less than one-third
Augusta is undecided whether she can |day her
hill engagement or not. There is much talk of
disbanding. Savannah is also shaky, and may
nut pull through the season. Last year the con
duct of some of tiic clubs was such that Colum
bus, Birmingham and other cities withdrew from
the Southern league for the want of patronage,
brought about by the disgraceful conduct of the
players. The same old state of affairs seems to
characterize the Southern league this year. The
following in regard to Saturday's game at
Charleston may be a pointer as to where the fly
in the ointineut came from:
"The Charlestons got away with the champion
(late City kickers easily to-day, and without
playing up to 50 per cent, of their standard, win
ning two out ofthree games played. The game
was noticeable chiefly for the usual kicking
which characterizes the Gate City bullies, and
that too in spite of the fact that the umpire’s rul
ings were, in nine cases out of ten, adverse to the
locals. Before the game commenced Umpire
Hengle called up Purcell and told him, so
the rumor goes, that lie was tired of his bullying
and insolence, and as Purcell had declared the
day previous that his team cared nothing about
the umpire's fines, as they could easily have
them remitted, lie would not try to fine them
any more, but would turn them over to the audi
ence, which numbered toot) people, and which
lias been so thoroughly disgusted with the con
duct of the visitors tliaj an appeal from the um
pire for protection would have met with a very-
vigorous response. This at least is the story.
“A gentleman who saw the Atlanta-Charleston
game oil Thursday said that if Sam Jones got his
ideas of base ball from the playing of the Atlanta
club it was no wonder that he hud said that the
base ball field is the surest way to hell. The
News and Courier says: “The Atlanta roughs
kicked and tried to bulldoze the umpire from the
beginning of the game to the end. They kicked
singly and in pairs: they kicked in threes and
fours, and then tliey kicked in a body. They
kicked at every opportunity and about
everything. They kicked because the umpire
would not allow more than two coaches on the
lines and because be did not call strikes on
Charleston as oilen as they thought lie should.
'They kicked at every close decision against them,
surrounding the umpire m a body, and when they
found that he was not to be bulldozed into chang
ing, they melodramatically it'll down on their
knees and commenced to pray.”

Baltimore, July 5.—The Catholic Mir
ror in this week’s issue, prefaces! its intro
duction to the report of the elevation ot
Archbishop Gibbons to the Cardinalate as
follows:
“There is little doubt but that Cardinal
Gibbons’ appointment is the first of several
that will be made in other Rees as soon as
the opportunity offers. At the consistory
held on the 7th ult,. at which Cardinal
Gibbous . was nominated and con
firmed, Leo Xlll. said: 'The flourishing
state of Catholicity in the Edited States,
which devolopes daily more and more, and
the condition and form according to which
tlie ecclesiastical canons of that country
are formulated, advise us, or rat her de
mand, Unit some of their prelates be re-
j ceivecl into the snored college.”
In the editorial on "The Significance of
the Event," the Mirror says: “Whether
this means that the number of cardinals
1 will be raised above its present standard of
seventy in order to accomplish the end in
view, or whether vacancies shall lie waited
; for until the desired number of Heats are
prepared for new occupants can
not he said. But. however that matter lie
j settled, it seems certain, according to au
thentic rumors in the best informed circles
i of Rome, that the United States is to have
more cardinals."
j Baltimore will celebrate tile centennial
I of the foundation of the first Catholic See
in the 1’nited States on the sixth of No
vember, 18-11, and it is thought here that
before that time Boston and San Francisco,
as well ns Baltimore, will have representa
tives in the Sacred College of Cardinals.
Grant ('mil,I I’lii) I’likrl.
Says General l’owell Clayton to a New
York Tribune man: "It was just after the
Brooks and Baxter affair, when things
were all out of shape, that Grant was asked
to make the appointment of McClure for
judge in Arkansas and promised to do so,
when the story was started that McClure
was a big poker player. Secretary Bristow
mnde very strenuous objections to the ap
pointment. About this time a paragraph
came out in the papers telling of the
poker-players in Washington. Among the
tilings they said was that 1 was so fond of
poker-playing that 1 would sit up in my
sick lied for a game, and tiiat, as I had
only one hand, I learned to hold the cards
in my teeth. It was also stated General
Grant was very fond of the game. I
went to the white house to see General
Grant about McClure. Grant said t o me
in his quiet way, ‘Senator, they say Mc
Clure plays pouker.’ 1 replied, ‘Yes, Mr.
President, and 1 am sorry to see by tile
papers that they aecuse you of liking a
little game, and they also say that I play
poker.’ Grant chuckled to himself and
said, ‘Well, I have played a half dozen
games or so in the course of my life.’ So
have 1; just about a half dozen games,’ was
my rejoinder ami we did riot discuss Mc
Clure any more. He got 1 iis appointment.
General Grant was quite fond of poker
playing as a pastime, not for gaining. I
never Heard of his playing a game in which
there was a penny at stake.”
