Anything to Defeat Grant.
Kalamazoo, Mich., March 20,1872.
Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens, Cravford-
viUe, Ga.:
Dear Shi—With deep solicitude, the
masses of the Democratic Party, and no
small number of Republicans, have
watered the signs of the times to see if
the « oimtay could not be relieved from
the fc. ate of anarchy under which we
now exist. With equal anxiety they
have watched the conduct of the leaders
of the Democratic Party and its Nation
al Central Committee, hoping that they
would not hesitate to assume a manly po
sition, and would be fearless and decisive
in maintaining it.
These masses have every reason to ex
pect, and do desire that a Democratic
Nntioual Convention be speedily called,
and that straight Democratic candidates
be placed upon an unquestionable Dem
ocratic platform.
It is the duty of those who hold prom
inent positions in the party, and more
especially those who compose the Nation
al Central Committee, by their example,
to infuse confidence, zeal aDd hope into
the mosses of the party. It is with ex
treme sadness and regret that they ob
serve, that those who should set this ex
ample, are timid, vacillating and weak;
and many are even severe enough to
charge them with treachery also, assert
ing that they are inclined t.> sell their
birthright fora mess of pottage.
If the object of parties is simply the
placing in power of a favored few in a
scramble for office, instead of the elec
tion to office of mon who will carry into
effect certain fundamental principles,
then the sooner we sweep away useless
party barriers, and act under one organ
ization, and leave the election of officers
to be controlled by such shrewd devices
as the avarice or ambition of candidates
misrht suggest, the better.
Under. our peculiar form of govern
ment, the principles of the Democratic
Party are those only which are correct,
and by the carrying of which into effect,
our government can only he maintained
n its primary purity.
That party and the Government were
brought together into existence. Their
existence has been co-extensive, and the
dissolution of one sounds the death
knell of the other.
For the last few yt s?rs a cloud has over
shadowed i’s career, and, as a natural
sequence of which, our nnt.ionnl affairs
have been sadly deranged. That cloud,
through the infallible working of na
ture’s law, is fast being dispelled; and
upon the resumption, by the Democratic
Party, of the- control of public affairs,
the dark gloom, which spreads like a
pall over the nation, will be dissipated.
Dissensions exist in the Republican
party, of such serious character that they
cannot possibly be harmonized, and are
so great in extent as to cause such a di
vision of its hitherto unbioken ranks as
to admit of the Democratic Party’s ob
taining the ascendency in national af
fairs, if it will but be trno to itself, and
tr-ko advantage of the opportunity thus
afforded it.
With the abolition of slavery, the foun
dation on which the principles of the
Republican party were laid was taken
from under it. A number of its leaders,
sufficient to control its actions, shifted
to the principles of the old Federal party,
thereby coming in direct conflict with
jhe principles of the Democratic Party.
The alarming assumptions of power,
and corrupt measures and conduct of
those leaders, who are composed of the
‘ present corrupt Executive and his cor
rupt associates, have alarmed a respect
able number of able, serious thinking,
conscientious and undoubtedly patriotic
men in the Republican ranks to such an
extent as to cause them to rebel against
party discipline, and assume an inde
pendent position. In this new position
they, with bnt few exceptions, necessarily
assume and act upon Democratic prin
ciples.
To such an extent has their dissent
. been carried, that they are determined to
defeat the re-election of the present Ex
ecutive at all hazards; and to accomplish
this, fearful of their inability to defeat
his renomination in the regular Repub
lican convention, they have called a con
vention of their own’, and have adopted
ns their war cry the motto, “Anything to
defeat Grant.”
candidates willin > more gratifying resuit
to the Democracy than imply the defeat
of Grunt?
Unfortunately for the D.-niocraticcansO
some of its lend-1>, to their slia »*• be it
said, to gratify their lust for power and
plunder, are wiiiiug to adopt the nomi
nation of these Republican malcontents,
and in the event of success, take such
political crumbs ns might fall from the
table of that faction of the Republican
party they had placed in power.
If this possum dodge is thought inex
pedient, then resort is to be had to the fu
sion dodge, to be-accomplished by the
union of Democrats with disaffected Re
publicans, and the placing in nomination
by them of a speckled ticket upon a spot
platform.
But let which course will be pursned
to accomplish their purpose, they are en
deavoring to demoralize the Democratic,
masses by endeavoring to educate them
into the belief that the election of a
Democratic candidate upon a Demo
cratic platform is impossible, and that the
nomination of such a candidate would
be useless.
If brought to that point the next step
is to obtain their support, and to accom
plish this they take advantage of the un
popularity of the administration of the
present Executive, and join with the dis
affected Republicans in the cry of “any
thing to defeat Grant!” thinking that the
masses would make any sacrifice, even a
sacrifice of principle, to attain that end.
If the Democrats make no nomination,
Democratic principles will not prevail in
the administration of public affairs, and
the Democracy will not have discharged
the duty which it owes to the country and
itself. If a fusion is effected, it will re
sult in placing in the field a combination
of candidates composed of greedy office
aspirants, constituting a ticket distrusted
by all and sustained by none.
There is such a paucity of numbers of
disaffected Republicans, when compared
with the Democratic Party, that if they
have, to a great extent, adopted Demo
cratic principles, let them join the
Democratic Party, and-if they do, in the
event of a Democratic success, tlieir
abilities will undoubtedly not only be
appreciated; but their services, also ap
propriately rewarded.
The object of the Democratic Party,
Should be the placing in nomination and
electing of Democratic candidates, upon
a Democratic platform; not the defeating
or placing in the ascendant of any particu
lar faction of the Republican party. It
ought not to forget the duty it owes to
the country and itself in a blind zeal to
defeat Grant, thereby losing a favorable
opportunity of being itself placed in the
ascendent.
That opportunity does exist, if it will
but take advantage of it. It was by the
taking advantage of just such opportuni
ty which placed the Republican party in
power. Upon the division of the Demo
cratic Party,did the Republicans abandon
their organization, and exclaim: “Any
thing to defeat Breckinridge,” and turn in
to elect Douglas? Not by any means; but
the contrary, they perfected their
organization, took advantage of our dis
sensions and elected their entire ticket.
So too, can we take advantage of existing
Republican dissensions which cannot be
harmonized, and elect our own ticket.
We should rely upon our own strength—
not upon the weakness of our adversaries;
but should our adversaries show a weak
point, it would also be our duty to take
advantage of that in addition to our own
strength-
Why, then, does the National Central
Committee neglect to call a convention ?
Does it intend to wait until after the
meeting of the Cincinnati Convention for
the purpose of adopting its nomination,
or to negotiate a fusion, or to take ad
vantage of supposable fortuitous circum
stances arising in either or both Republi
can conventions, and which might never
occur? The coarse it is pursuing is so
hazardous to the very existence itself of
the Party, that the Party will, some day,
call it to a strict account for its conduct.
It should, by promptitude, zeal, and
confidence of success, inspire the masses
with confidence; instead of, by its timidi
ty, discourage and demoralize them

advance in the New York market of Geor
gia bouds whose validity is unquestioned;
and we now have the gratification of an
nouncing that Dr. Angier has just effected
a sale in this city of new bonds, issued
by authority of the late Legislature, to
the amount of §25,000, at 90—a higher
price, we believe, than any of bur State
bonds have sold for since the war, and
much higher than Henry Clews ever
asked for the gold bonds he tried to sell—
much liiger than any of the sales he re
ported, which are believed, in a great
measure, to be shams and not sales.
Our own people are investing in these
bouds, and will probably take all that
are authorized to be issued, without send
ing them to New York.
iwton County Grand Jury Present
ments.
The. presentments of the Grand Jury
for the first week of the March term of
the Newton county Superior Court, show
that the county is out of debt, and has
§2,416.79 in the treasury.
They report the election of the follow
ing gentlemen as school commissioners:
Wm. S. Montgomery, Dr. H. T. Shaw,
Rev. Henry Quigg, S. H. Starr, and Dr.
J. J. Dearing, and recommend that they
be paid two dollars for every day’s ser
vice they are required to perform.
Upon the subject of n County Court
the jury says: “We liav< examined into
the matter, and find tha- such a Court,
in this county, is not necessary, and we
are decidedly opposed to its establish
ment,”
Gov. Jcnkin’s Letter.
The Columbus Enquire}' of the 31st
says:
We know that we could not more ac
ceptably fill our columns than we have
done to-day—by copying the manly, pa
triotic and deeply interesting letter of
ex-Gov. Jenkins to his “first legitimate
successor,” Gov. Smith. As an import
ant chapter in, the history of the evil
times through which we have passed
since Gov. Jenkins was violently super
seded by Federal power, it ought to re
ceive such recognition and attestation as
will give it a permanent place among the
official records of the State. We hope
that Governor Smith will transmit it to
thei Legislature, and that that body
will give it such disposition as the digni
ty and the vindication of the rights of
the State require.
We commend this letter to the atten
tion of all our readers.
The Sun of the s^me day says:
The letter of ex-Governor Jenkins to
Governor Smith, which we publish
to-day in full, is one of the most interest
ing and important doenmentsof the day.
It is the reflection ot a pure and noble
mind replete with wisdom and patriotism.
He shines among the Radical Excellen
cies of the State, like a dove among a
flock of vultures.
We hope each of our readers will give
the letter a careful perusal and then con
clude that such rascalities and the perpe
trators thereof, should never be shielded
from punishment on the plea of “dead
issues,” or the statute of limitation.
There can be no stream of fogiveness or
forgetfulness to make clean the political
lepers—the robbers of States and the
murderers of Constitutions.

Grand Entertainment atLaGrange Fe
male College.
LaG range, March 30, 1872.
The people of our usually quiet city
received, on Friday last, one of those
elegant literary and musical treats at the
hands of the young ladies of “The
Sourtiern Female College,” who know so
well how to get up a pleasant entertain
ment.
It was previously announced that there
would be a public reading of composi
tions, interspersed with music. The ele
gant hall in the new college building was
filled with the elite of LaGrange.
The exercises were commenced by a
lecture from Dr. James A. Long, who is
now delivering, before the young ladies of
this popular Institution, a course of lec
tures upon Hygiene, something entirely
new to us in Female Colleges, but judg
ing from the lecture on Friday evening,
it must be of lasting benefit to the com
ing women of our country.
The subject of a preceding lecture was,
the effects of Cosmetics on the Skin.
On this occasion the subject was “the
Chemistry of Food.” Dr. Long not only
understands his subject, but hislieareis—
something too seldom found combined in
those who address young people. His
language and-style are of that chaste and
eloquent kind which makes impressions.
President Cox, in introducing these lec
tures, has shown his appreciation of a
great want ia Female Colleges.
After the lecture, a splendid piece of
music was performed by one of the young
ladies.
Miss Fannie Thomason — subject, “A
Pencil.” MaryTCalloway—“Look up
with hopeful eyes. ” Sallie Bolling —
“Happiness.” Alice Cox—“Time.” Lilly
Lane—“Aim high.” Sallie Daniel—“Pa
triotism.” A. Hopson—“ Heaven from
all creatures hides the book of fate.”
Mollie Brown — “Thoughtless persons.”
Lula Hopson—“Suffer no part of life to
remain unimproved.” Pauline Ferrell—
“A man may smile and smile, and yet be
a villain. ” Fannie Rountree — “ The
past.”|GussieMurphree—“Atmosphere.”
Fanny Bean—“Crosses in life.” Mollie
Lofton—“Sweet memories.” Addie Ba
ker—“ ’Tis more blessed to give than to
receive.” Jennie Burt—“Truth.” Bet-
tie Lone—“Be sure you are right, then
go ahead.” Mollie B. Pullen—“Pa
tience. ”
Wo will venture the assertion that
nineteen young ladies cannot be found
who better write or read upon any sub
ject than did 'hose on this occasion.
Misses Sally Boding, Gussie Murphree,
Fannie Rountree, aud Betty Long, each
showed a cultivation and depth of thought
that could not be excelled. We must,
however, say that all did well.
After the’reading, those little favorites
in our musical circle,Misses Mary L. Holly
and Jennie Keener, took their places at the
piano, and Misses Sallie Cox, Alice Cox,
and Gussie Murphree, with their violins,
gave music that was :
“A wondrous power of modulated sound.”
We all in La Grange feel proud of the
“Southern Female College,” because we
can look back with pride upon those of
its many graduates “years agone,” and
we also feel sure that under its present
management, it will take its place at the
top of Southern Female Collegs.

Vast Beds; of Coal in Texas.
The. Texas Land Register of the 23d
March, says that vast coal beds hitherto
unknown have been found in that State.
Excavations have shown formations of
coal in regions which were little thought
of by the oldest settler as containing any
of that useful article. The discovery has
been made that in various sections there
underlies the surface of our country vast
coal mines which can be worked to heavy
profit by our capitalists at small outlay.
Governor Smith.
A correspondent of the Colum
bus Sun, in that paper of the 31sfc
March, writing from this city, where he
is visiting from Columbus, thus speaks
of Gov. Smith:
Whenever .the people were allowed the
ballot without fraud to falsify returns
and defeat their choice, (as was the prac
tice of Radical manipulators), they res
cued the State from the impudent ag
gressors. Hence we have a Chief Magis
trate, in Governor Smith, to com
mand public respect, and to execute
the laws with honest convictions
of. duty, aud with wise statesman
ship. He is truly the right man in the
right place, above all political bias, and
superior to all mercenary influences. His
record is alike proud and Bootless in the
estimation of Georgians. 'In the late
war, from its inception to its close, he
was a gallant actor in the field, led liis
command in many hard-fought battles,
and sacrificed all his possessions to sup
port the Southern cause. He has the
talents and integrity essential to the sta
tion he occupies. Flint.
Tlie Hamilton Female College.
The Columbus Sun publishes some
interesting particulars in regard to the
Female College at Hamilton, the county
site of Harris county, which was lately
destroyed by fire. The follwing extracts
are made:
The structure was erected in 1854,
under the supervision of James Cotting-
ham, late of Talbotton, at a cost of $4,-
400, by a stock company, of which Col.
John H. Lovelace owned two-thirds.
Loss folly §6,000. No insurance. CoL
L. lost his entire apparatus, a melodeon,
a great number of books and other valu
able articles, besides a carefully and well
selected museum, containing relics and
trophies of not much intrinsic value, but
which money cannot replace. Col. Love
lace took charge of the institution in
1857, two years after the completion of
the building, succeeding Peter Brown,
the first President. During the fifteen
years Col. H. has been in charge, the
College has been in a prosperous condi
tion, averaging per session at least sixty
pupils; and remerkable to state no ac
cident has ever happened before, and
furthermore, not one death has occurred
among the students or faculty during this
period.
The fleas and sandflies are fashionable
among the Brunswickians.
Gave Bond.—All the parties against
whom Major McCalla sued out attach
ments some days ago, under the pro
visions of the act of 12th December
last, made the affidavit provided for un
der the 9th section of that act, requiring
the informer to give bond and good secu
rity.
The amount of frauds alleged by Maj.
McC., as our readers will recollect, is
large, in each case, and in all combined,
requires a very large bond to be given by
the informer in this instance.
Perhaps some of the parties against
whom these charges are made, and who
have made these affidavits of innocence,
alleging that the information lodged
against them by McCalla is untrue, and
requiring him to give bond, supposed he
would not be able to do so. Perhaps
some of the friends of the plunderers in
the Legislature hoped to prevent suits
under this bill when this provision was
fastened on it.
Be this as it may, Gen. Toombs signed
McCalla’s bond, which sets the calcula
tions of a few persons at fault, no doubt.
The State of Georgia is able to give good
v security in a prosecution against those
iwho are charged with such serious of
fenses.
Come Back to Atlanta.—Capt. J. A.
Pate, formerly Yard Master of the Wes
tern and Atlantic Railroad, (under Jdaj.
Campbell Wallace’s administration), but
who went to Memphis, taking the same
position there on the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad, soon after the State
Road fell into the hands of the scalawag
and carpet-bag plunderers, has returned
to this city—adding one more confirma
tion to the rule that every one who ever
left Atlanta is bound to come back as
soon as he can. Capt. Pate has taken a
situation as Conductor on the State Road.
He is an experienced and faithful rail
road mae.
A Good Joke by Varney Gaskill.—It
known that ex-Acting Governor
Conley went through the forms of grant
ing pardons to a host of offenders against
law and morals.
Among the pardons he granted was
one to Foster Blodgett and one to V. A.
Gaskill.
Mr. Gaskill says that he did not ask
Conley for hispardon, but only remarked
that he did not see how he could refuse
one to him when he had granted one to
Blodgett.
Good for Gaskill. He ‘always gets off a
good thing.
The Moreland „ Homicide.—We are
informed that Col. W. H. Hulsey re
turned Monday from Greenville. The
investigation of the case against Turner,
charged with the killing of Tucker More
land, occupied ten days, at the end of
which time the magistrates refused to
hold Turner to bail, and he was dis
charged. Col. H. was accompanied by
Mr. J. W. Moreland, Representative
from that county, and son of the deceased.
We learn that Mr. A. H. Cox and Col.
Hulsey, both of this city, addressed the
Court in elegant speeches of about two
hours each.
Postoffice.—^To show an approximate
average of the daily and weekly business
done in the Atlanta Postoffice, a count
was made of the letters received for one
week commencing Sunday the 24th. The
following was the result: Sunday 1,861,
Monday 2,727, Tuesday 2,469, Wednes
day 1,964, Thursday 3.601, Friday 2,355,
Saturday 2,079, making a total for one
week of 17,056 letters. All these were
for Atlanta, none merely touching here
enroute to other offices for distribution.
Rural Southerner.—This Magazine
for April is out; promptly, and is brim-
full of useful and entertaining matter.
Messrs. Echols & Wilson, with a strong
lift from Mr. A. C. Van Epps, are mak
ing it one of the best periodicals in the
South. Each successive number is an
improvement on its predecessor.

The weather South during the past
week was stormy in many sections, and a
heavy fall of rain has damaged some
of the roads and checked the movement
of cotton from the plantations, and pre
vented plo .ving and planting. The week
closed, however, with pleasant weather
generally throughout the South. Texas
seems to have been exempted from the
storm, and in that State everything is
working all right for the new crop,
