ALFRED H. COLQUITT,

The Atlanta Nominee.
As we expected, and sincerely hoped,
Gen. A. 11. Colquitt was nominated for
Governor, in Atlanta, on the 2d. No other
name was presented to the Convention, and
Gen. Colquitt was nominated by acclama
tion The commonwealth of Georgia is
justly proud of the third name in the illus
trious trio at the head of this column, and
no man the people were '-ver called upon
to support, for any office in our chi , a’rous
old State was ever greeted with more en
thusiasm, and greater manifes ations of de
light than Gen. Alfred 11. Colquitt.
Next Sale Day.
We would like to see a large attendance
on next sale day. The time has come when
something more ought to be done in the in
terest of the Marietta and Murphy Railroad.
If we expect State aid, we must go to work,
and not only be in earnest ourselves, but
show to others that we are truly so. Let
the tree be known by its fruits. Now is
the time to make a rally. A kind Provi
dence is blessing us with good crops; let us
make up supplies for fifty convicts, and at
once run the grade of our road at least to
Pickens county. This will inspire courage
along the line, and when the Legislature
meets they will see N”i : 'i Georgia a unit
for this road, and all tinned in one com
mon struggle to develop the vast resources
of this section, and ready to pom - them in
to the Treasury of Georgia, and not a mem
ber of th. t ody who is not prejudiced, and
who has the foresight that should charac
terize a Legislator, will refuse to help us
iron our road.
Volume 11.
With this issue, begins the second vol
ume of The Cherokee Georgian. The
proprietors have, through a year remarka
ble for scarcity of money, and hard times
throughout the whole country, labored
hard to make the enterprise a success, and
present to our people a sheet worthy of
their patronage and support. A year in
which it would have been simply folly to
start any enterprise, promising no quicker
return for capital invested, than a newspa
per, with the expectation of making it pay.
Yet, we have kept at work, and have en
deavored to give our readers a good paper ;
how far our efforts have been successful,
we leave to our patrons to say. No one
who has had no experience in the business,
has the remotest idea what a difficult task
it is to “begin at the beginning” and build
up, and p urmncnlly establish a newspaper
in a community where it is a new thing to
the people; it is especially difficult in a
small town, where the advertising patron
age is necessarily limited. We commenc
ed publishing Tn:; Georgian with these
difficulties to encounter, and can truly say
that our success has exceeded <>ur expecta
tions, and that our prospects of future suc
cess are indeed flattering; sufficiently so to
encourage us, and induce us to put forth
greater efforts to make our paper a perma
nent success. The people are beginning to
realize the fact that the county paper is
not simply an enterprise by which those di
rectly controlling it re to be benefited, but
an institution, designed to benefit the entire
people. They now see that it is no longer
an experiment, but a fact, and they are
coming up to our support in such a
manner as to inspire us with fresh courage
and energy. We feel truly grateful to the
many friends who have stood by us through
the first, and we trust the most trying stage
of our work. We promise to use every ef
fort, and leave nothing undone that can be
done, to make The Georgian a live, read
able, newsy journal—one that our people
will be proud of. Let all out friends re
new their subscriptions, and let those
whose namesare not upon our bock, give
us a trial.

Our Railrua I.
The time has now come for decisive ac
tion on the part of every friend of the road.
We are about passing through, and we trust
out of a terrible ordeal, caused by the strin
gency in the money market. Many good
men have “gone under;’' some still oppress
ed, but the masses of o n people are out of
debt, or will pay out this fall, and have
money left. Georgia has reached, in mi
ner’s phrase, “hard pan,” and it now be
hooves us to consider well the situation, un
derstand the surroundings, and then move
up.
How are we to better our condition ?
The great mass of our people are engaged
in agricultural pursuits, and yet we are buy
ing bacon from the West—enriching the
fanners of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, when we
could supply middle and Southern Georgia.
What else do we buy, which we can and
ought to produce? Nearly everything.
Where does Atlanta and the Southern cit
ies, get their supplies of butter, poultry,
provisions and supplies of every character ?
From the West. Why can’t Cherokee sup
ply half dozen of the cotton and rice mak
ing counties? Because ice won't. What
are our manufacturing interests ? Almost
nothing. AVhat are our advantages and
facilities for manufacturing ? All that we
could ask. What are we doing with
our rich mines ? Absolutely nothing. We
import iron for every purpose, and own
better “on a thousand hills”—now worth
less to us and to the world What of our
live stock? Scrub; with few exceptions.
AVhat are we doing to educate our children ?
Hundreds attend no school of any sort, and
we are indifferent. Is this our true condi
tion ? Yes; and still worse, for there is a
manifest indifference, and want of enter
prise, with so many of our citizens, so many
of our young men seeking any pursuit, any
thing to make a living in the shade, any
way to avoid labor ; so few of our old men
united, and acting together to promote, fur
ther, and advanoe lh« aboolutely necessary
enterprises of our county. Now why is this
so ? Our people are honest, patriotic, gen
erous, hospitable, kind, brave, and true. In
these ennobling virtues we are not afraid to
compare our people of Cherokee with the
citizens of any county in the State, or in
the United States. Give life and energy to
our people, and we would not swap one
hundred of our good citizens, for a thous
and in Indiana; and yet it is absolutely sad
to study the contrast between Georgia and
Indiana, as it appears in the Daily Com
monwealth, of the 2lst ult. While we
thank Col. Styles for his able articles, and
statistical information, intended to excite
our people to action, his figures are a sad
comment on the past and present policy' of
Georgia, and upon the politicians, who
have directed and controled the State.
Read the article in the Commonwealth, and
study it, ahd then seek for the reaiedy.
Think of it, Georgians, Indiana has a total
difference of $119,945,237 per annum in
her favor, as compared with Georgia. This
is not due or owing to greater resources and
superior material advantages, but Indiana
utilizes what she has—Georgia does not.
It is the difference between a woiking, in
telligent farmer and a careless, idle one.
While the working, thinking, intelligent
tanner will prosper—grow rich, on com
paratively poor land ; another a ill starve
on Keith sor Fic.u 's river .i . is. Our ob
ject is to look specially ut our own inter
est ; that ol Cherokee, and we ask again,
what ought our policy’ to be? It is to us
a self evident proposition, that the first
great necessity—yes, indispensible neces-i
--t the completion of our railroad. We
must, by cheap transportation, have access
to the world with our agricultural produc
tions. How else can we reach a market
with our blitter while it is fresh ami sweet,
so as to command me high price of sum
mer? It tills could be done, would our
people not produce double as much as at
present ? and would it not be worth dou
Sole ? Let us illustrate. Say there are one
thousand families in our county, each l'uu
ily. ou an avrerage, produces oue p< un 1 of
butter Hr sale every day—ami who can’t do
it ' —that gives you 7.000 lbs. per week,
woith now in Canton, 15 ecu’s [ht pound,

in fiv >; of Atlant i prices, when we hive a
market against the home market—when
ive have not purchaseis for half the quan
lity. N'ow deduct, tor commissions am;
I »i, twice what it
w. . 1 co t, and the net earuings of the
w 'lHcn of Cberkw county is more than the

each, home market, worth in barter, $lO,-
000; the same is worth in Atlanta, cash,
$30,000; making a difference of $20,000.
Now these are the little items, but what a
difference would it make to our county in
a year—s7s,ooo additional, for butter and
chickens. You may say our figures are
large, and that butter and chickens is a
small business, but this is the way the
Northern and AV estern States have grown
rich, and the neglect of these little things
is the reason of our want of prosperity. It
is folly' to talk about mining, and manufac
turing without a railroad, and the same is
true as to every other interest. The road is
a necessity ; we must have it. The same
reasons are applicable to Pickens, Gilmer,
Fannin, Uniou, and Towns counties Geor
gia, and AVestern North Carolina. They
are at work, and are working in earnest.
AVe have worked; we must goto work
again ; Canton does not desire the road to
stop here. The pressure of the times stopped
ns, but a kind and merciful Providence now
gives us assurances of good crops, and we
say' to our friends in the mountains, be ol
good cheer. AVe will lock shields wit’; you,
pay our part in money and provision- and
work on until the road is completed to
Murphy. AVe have faith in Georgia—that
when we have done our part she will help
us AA 7 e have no doubt on this subject, and
in the language of the Fannin resolutions,
“we will not support any person for any
office, unless he is an open, avowed friend
of our road.”
Editorial Notes.
Inflated green-backs. Bull frogs.
President Grant’s mouth-piece. A
cigar holder.
Sitting Bull is supposed to be a lineal
descendent of John Bull, and a cousin to
the Pope’s Bulls. They are all bully.
An original poem was to have appeared
in the Ellijay Courier “shis” week. AVhen
does “shis” week begin, and where does it
end? AVe can’t fiud it in the almanac.
Learned doctors are now trying to make
it appear that President Grant’s 3rawn is
affected. They had better establish in the
first place, the fact that he is in possession
of such an organ
An old farmer who don’t take The
Georgian, wants to know who is this
Col Quitt that they are running for Govern
or. That man is sadly in need of General
information.
A Baltimore lawyer shot himself the
other day, because he said it was “too hot
to live.” He certainly did not bi tter his
condition by “jumping from the frying pan
into the tire.”
The Marietta Journal announced last
week that the convention would meet on
Wednesday' to “nominate a T)ethocraflc
Governor.” As we are always behind tlie
excitement away up here in the mountains,
and are dependent upon the Journal for in
formation, we would like for it to tell us
now what Democrtic Governor was nomi
nated ?
AVe are prepared to do all kinds of job
work in the best style, cheap, neat and
prompt. Try us—[Marietta Journal
AVe need a job of work done on our rail
road, but we believe we will let the Superi
or court of Cobb county try you first.
The local of the Times has di-covered
the last word of Crazy Horse, the big Indi
an who was killed in the Custer massacre :
“His remarks were: ‘Zola surubucktoo
walee haritinkus shin an gugar.’ Now.
Ibis very’ evidently shows that, though a
s.ivaee. Crazy' Hores was a man of deep
emotions and a noble heart.”
Wonderful words to escape the lips of an
untutored savage! He certainly indulged
no ill feeling against the government, or
he would have Custer !
The Toccoa Herald a sprightly weekly,
we add to our exchange list. We like ail
of it, except its motto. Honesty is no kind
of policy.

A merchant settling with a customer,
the other day, who had heretofore bought
largely on credit, found the account xery
small, and enquiring to know how it icip

Pretty good idea. If the people generally
would live more on their own expenses, the
country would soon t>e in a tlourLhing con

General Presentments.
AVe the Grand Jury, selected, chosen,
and sworn for the County of Cherokee, Ju- I
ly term, Eighteen Hundred ami Seventy
six, would respectfully’ make the following
presentments:
Ist. Upon examination of the records]
and books of the Ordinary’s office, we find
the office in good condition, the Kooks are
neatly aud correctly kept, with most of the
matter placed on the record. W' 1 find
that the Ordinaryfis keeping, as part of the
records of the office, the settlements with
the Tax-collector, aud County Treasurer,
which we think is a good arrangement.
From as thorough an examination into the
various duties of the Ordmaiy, as our lim
ited time would allow, we believe that
our Ordinary has tried faithfully and im
partially to discharge the duties of his re
sponsible trust.
2d. We find the books of the Clerk
of the Superior Court kept in a
neat, legible, and business like style He,
upon oath, says that he has no county' funds
in his bands unaccouted for, and that as
such clerk he has received no county funds
since the last term of this court.
3.1. The Treasurer's books, we find kept
in a neat and legible manner. He has prop
er vouchers for all monies paid out. We
find on hand $70.24 in the county treasury.
4th. AVe find the books of the Tax-re
ceiver well and neatly kept. As a gener
al thing the property has been given in at
a fair valuation.
sth. vVe find the books of the Justices
of the Peace, and Notaries Public, kept in
a tolerably good form, but we reccommend
that they’ strictly observe the requirements
of sec. 4,505, of the Code of 1873, in regard
to itemizing their bills of cost.
6th. AVe find the books of the Sheriff
kept in a neat and legible manner.
7th. AVe find the jail in a tolerable fair
condition, and sate so far as we could as
certain.
Bth. AVe find the public roads, as a gen
eral thing, in a very bad condition, and rec
commend that they be put in good order as
soon as practicable. The public bridges in
the county, we learn, are in very good or
der, except the bridges across Noonday, on
the Alabama road, and the bridge at Cher
okee Mills, and Hawkins’s bridge across
Little River, and we reccommend that the
Ordinary have the necessary repairs or re
building done. •
In taking leave of his Honor, Judge
Knight, we tend r him our thanks for his
kindness and courtesy to our body during
the present term. We also tender him our
kindest wishes for his future health, pros
purity and happiness. 'Ve also tender our
thanas to the S<>li< itor General, C. I). Phil
pps, lor his courtesy to our body, and
for the vigorous and able manner in which
he discjiarges the duties of his office.
AVe further reccommend that these pre
sentments be published in the Cherokee
Georgian.

By the eai nest request, and solicitations

a candidate for representative in our next
general assembly. And, should Ibe chos
en to fill that high and responsible position
I will, to the best of my ability, discuarge I
the duties devolving upon me. It is unnec 1
essaiy for me at this time to enter into a •
dctai' of what legislation I deem necessary, j
bn* 1 will say’ that 1 favor a Constitutional ;
Convention, called bv the people, as I be- i
lieve this i the liist step to be taken to
place us in the road to prosperity and hap i
pmess. It is us* less tor me io add that the
manufacturing and agricultural interests of
our country seem to lie paralyzed, and that
internal improvements have almost c* -ad
to be a mailer of thought with our i ie.
These are matters of vital to |
our every ini crest, and shoi Id be siadied
well by every one. Retrenchment and Re |
form slio'.ibl be our motto.
1 will further state, that I favor the early I
completion of the Marietta and Murphy ■
Railroad, as it would be of general utility
to o;.r wiioie conn, ry, and believing it to im
an enterprise of siitti ieut magnitude to in- I
denn.iiy the- Stale against all losses, I would
be wiping to vole State aid for its comple
tion, while at the same time I am opposed •
to in..iscriiaiualc aid by the State.

r I A lu rOLl’i ICAL CaiVIPaIuN of 1876
1 which includes National, State, and
county elections’and which will undoubt
edly lie the most active and hotly contest
ed of any since the memorable campaign
of 1860, is now fairly opened. The Nation
al Democratic party, will this year make a
bold, vigorous and doubless successful strug
gle for the maintenance and supremacy of
those principles which are vital to the pros
perity ofthe Republic and essential to the
well-being of the people.
In addition to the Presidential election,
the people of Georgia ami Florida will
eh ct new Slate governments. In Florida
the campaign promises to be unusually vig
orous, and there is a probability' that for
the firs* tune sine the war the people ot
that Radical-ridden Stale will elect a Dem
ocratic State government. In these cam
paign the people ot the Sou h are deeply
interested ; and every intelligent citizen,
who has the welfare of his country and his
section at heart, should acquaint himself
with every detail ofthe great work of re
demption and reform that is now going on.
To this eml he should subscribe to ami
assist in circulating the SAA’ANNAH
MORNING NEWS, an independent Dem
ocratic newspaper, of pronounce*! opinions
ami fearless in their expression*; a paper
’hat is r* cognized everywhere as the best
daily in the South. Its editorial depart
ment is vigorous, ihoiightful, and consis
tent, while its new* ami local departments
are marvels of industry ami completeness.
Its department of Georgia and Florida si
fairs is not confined to a mere barren sum
mary of events transp ring in those States,
but is enlivened by comment at once apt,
timely, and racy.
The ample resources of the eslablishmenl
will be devoted to lui’nistiing the readers of
he
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence from all parts of
the world, through the press dispatches,
special telegrams, and by means ofspcci.il
correspondence; ami through these agen
cies the paper will be the earliest chronicler
of noteworthy incidents of the political
campaign of 1876.
