J5f\Ve believe all the “Colonels'

Let’s have a rest.
iL£t*'lf the Republicans continue
to abuse Mr.Tilden it will not be
long until they will find in him the
biggest mouthful they ever attempt
ed to swallow. Uncle Sammy isn’t
dead yet.
I5t?"ITon. John .Scott Harrison,
Son of ox-Piesidcnt Harrison, died
suddenly and was buried last Wednes
day. The next day his son went to
the Ohio Medical college in quest of
a dead body ol a friend which had
been “snatched’’ by ttie grave fiends.
Imagine his horror to find tho body
of his dead father in a sink! Great
excitement exists in Cincinnati.
J3?" Suppose the investigating
committee shall have learned, beyond
all controversy, that Mr. Hayes was
not entitled to the votes of Louisaua
and Florida, what then? Can Con
gress depose Mr. Hayes 9 Can uny
legislation be retronotivi? Tho truth
is, but for weakness in the joints of
some, the intrigue and self interests
of others, this gigantic fraud had
never been perpetrated.

The delegates appointed to 111”
Ringgold Convention are all good,
true mill sound men. They are no
politicians, nor are they men who arc
likely to come under the control of
any politician seeking to use them
for a purpose inconsistent with the
interests ami wishes of the people of
Polk county. No citarges can be
brought against theiroharacteq eith

and we leave the question to the peo
ple if such men will be guilty of
Iruud and trickery. We would not
be surprised to hear such charges
brought forward by some sinless
mid stuinleas (?) gentlemen.

Rather Mixed.
Postmaster Goneral Key in his
“conciliatory letter to the South,'
in order to prevent another “upri
sing,’’ is rather hard on Dr. Felton.
He recommends tho people to vote
for “Independents” if necessary rath
er than fur Democratic candidates
who stiilered themselves to he whip
ped in by tho parly lash to vote for
the Potter resolutions of investiga
tiou. Now these resolutions
good thing. They simply authorise
the appointment of a committee to
inquire into and report upon tho
Electoral frauds. Wo all know rhero
were frauds committed. The poin
of the Democrats was to prove it. As
Democrats we have all along beeirus-
sel ling that frauds mere committed
and We-ltere always met by tho Re
publicans with, why don’t you prov
it then?
The Congress does propose to prove
it and right there comes in the stink.
Hut to the point at issue: After
the vote was taken the Rome Court
er charged that Dr. Felton did not
vote for the resolutions. In a few
days the Doctor came out in a card
in the Atlanta Constitution insisting
that tho charge of the Courier was
false; that lie did/ (tho exclamation
point is ours) vote for the Potter
Resolutions.
Ill a few days, at the instance
doubt of President Hayes, Pustiuus
t.r General Key issued a manifesto
to the Southern people admonishing
thorn of them of the evil and danger
consequent to an honest', investiga
tion of a dishonest administration
He says to them that they lmd bet
ter vote lor Independent candidates
for Congress—tor men who are not
of the organized kind.
We cannot see how Dr. Felton will
be uble to shoulder the load.. He
olaims to be au Independent candi
date for Congress and spoiled to rush
into print in order to inform bis cou-
stttueuU that be voted for the Potter
resolutions, while Mr. Key wants
tho people to vote for Independents
to save tho country.
How cun it be harmonized? The
Republicans cannot indorse Dr. Fel-
tou because ho endorses and voted
for a bill that they declare means tu
oust or unseat Hayes. Truly things
are mixetl. An organized member
oould not and would not have voted
for a bill more hurtful to them, us
they think.
As for the Resolutions, the Dem-
oeratiptparty endorses them. As a
party, It wants the matter shown up
in its true light and the rotten car
cass exposed to full view. Nobly
did they organize and defeat tho lie
publicans. They were outgeneraled
and now the ghost of Hayes’ ouster
sturea them too plainly in the luce.
The Democratio party, however, has
no intentions of unseating Mr. Hayes
but they are thankful, at least, to Dr.
Felton for voting for the Potter Res
olutions.

to the Exposition and handed it over

Tho committee submitted the fid
lowing resolutions to the Convention,
which were nil mimously adoptod:
Resolved, By the Democracy of
of Polk, in mass meeting assembled,
Hint we are in full sympathy with
the National Democracy, mid accept
the pas-age of the Potter resolution
by tlin Democratic House of Re
seiitatives of the United States Con
gress, as II true exposition of Demo
cratic jfrtnciples, min as an elfiirt to
punish I muds and preserve the sano-
tity of ballot, and denounce as false
the charge that it is nil attempt to
“Mexic.ntzo” our government, and
disclaim any intention to interfere
with the tenure uf otlico ul President
Hayes.
Itesolved, 2nd. That we do not rec
ognize the right or propriety of any
manor member of the Democratic
Jiarty in defiance of the wish, will or
judgment of tho Democratio party to
make himself a sell' constituted can
didate to dominate tho organization
and defy the party; that however
worthy he limy lie in oilier respects
he places himself outside the Demo
cratic parly, “gives aid and comfort”
to the enemies of the purtv and tut
noni ces himself ready to follow tho
lead of Ihe apostate Key and to aid
Jolin Sherman amt his co-workers in
their great crime against liberty and
in their frauds upon Liio purity of
elections.
Itesolved, 3d. That we appoint
four delegates to represent the oonn-
ty of Polk in the “Ringgold conven
tion” and that the delegates go un-
instrucied except to vote for the nom
ination of a man of purity, ability
and lidelity to tho Democratic par
ty-
itesolved, ith, that these resolu
tions ho published iu our ooifmy pa
pers, the “Oednrtown Record” and
“Cedartown ExpittiSH.”
On motion tho meeting adjourned.

Democratic Meeting in Haralson.
Editor Express, The tullowiiig is
the result of the meeting ol the cit
izens of Haralson county, held at
Buchanan to-day.
The meeting was called to order
by Judge Head.
Hon. Charles T'ulliaferro wuscalled
to the chair, and J. P. Hamil to act
as secretary.
On motion' of Judge Head a com
mittee of three was appointed,to se
lect names ol four good oitizens to
represent. Haralson in tho the Con
vention at Ringgold on tiie 4th of Ju
ly-
While the* committee wua out
Judge Head was called, and respon
ded in a well timed and pointed ad-'
dress.
The oommifctee reported the fol
lowing named gentlemen as delegates
to add Convention: James Head,
Tlios. Latham, W. C. McBraer and
Alex Kowoll, who was on motion of
Judgo Head, confiimed as delegates.
On motion The®. Waldrope, l)un-
y modi
conceivable. We also visited his
elegant mansion, built at a cost of i
sonic twenty-five or thirty thousand
dollars. Mr. W. has our thanks for-
his courteous attention to us. This!
g'ntleman is daily turning out large !
quantities of iron ore and hollow |
ware of nil kinds. Would wo had i
more men of like zeal and energy to •
develop our mineral wealth. This
little town can also b nst of the most I
beautiful spring imaginable, situa
ted in a cool shady grove near the
hotel.
We lmd the pleasure of meeting i
ninny charming young ladies, who \
bewitched us with their sprightly
conversation and bright eyes. Alas!
what would earth be without the.o
minislering spirits. It was also our
pleasure to visit the family of Mr.
W. who received its with open hearted
hospitality. Mrs. It’s whortleberry
pies will long he remombcivd; would
we could have this charming little,
being in our region.
Nature lias been most generous in
her gilts to this section, bestowing
upon it a delightful climate and i
charming scenery.—Why should we
pine Idr other climes, when so much
of the beautiful is within our grasp.!
The crops promise a splendid yield j
with tile execution of wheat which
is somewhat damaged by rust, still
many trid tanners say, it will yield a 1
very lair average, us a larger quantity
has been planted this year j
Strange does it appear to us that the \
cry should be west when so much |
sleeps within our own soil, needing :
but. t he touch of energy and enter- 1
prise toawukeit active life, thus giv
ing prosperity and happiness to our |
people.

A Lesson to Fathers.
The great secret of success iu
bringing up chilljjoi) is to establish
perfect conlidence between pareuts
and children. If the lather is the ' Vi.
boy’s bi st fi iend, as the wise motlu i
are tin* girl’s, there is no troubl
/.bout keeping them bad associates, j G eohgia-
whoso vicious examples and silly i
bravado has a lasting effect upon 1 '- ’
their characters. Fathers 1 , in your
efforts to secure fortunes for your
families, remember that money will
not save you from the heartache if
your boys go wrong, and that their
only safety is in being kept close by
yourside, helping you ip business,
and you in turn sharing their fun
and play. Nothing is so flattering
to boys us the society of their fathers,
and nothing makes a man so popular
with them aa his joining in their
amusements. Try to do this; and
you will try in turn to understand
your cares and troubles.—Take as
much pains to preserve them from
contamination in the the simp of im
moral companionship as mothers do
thoir girls, and you will find them
'to be growing up to be modest and
virtuous young men, lit companions
and husbands lor girls who have been
carefully guided from all knowledge
of evil. Devote your evenings to
family amusements and .pleasures.
Invite young people to your houses
and pay them aftentioh, instead of
going to bed or shutting yourself in
another room the moment they make
their appearance, au if their wiis, and
could be, nothing between your man
hood and their youth. So shall you
be kept, young in heart, and the in
experience of your sons will be tem
pered with something of the sobriety
of experience.—Lutheran Evangelist.
