If tl)o imnvn/ion should nominate as gcoil anil pure n man at George N. i jester, / would ground my arms and relire to the shades of private life.—Yi. II. I'm.ton in 1874. Ionia Times accuses article from its edi torial columns’’ and not giving him proper credit. We think Hro. Pendleton is mista ken— wo may he mistaken. If we did, we ure extremely sorry of it. There now Pen., is that satisfactory? HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS. II r e repent here what we mat to Dr. Felton's face—that lw is the most art- ful trickster we have ever known. He say this with regret, especially when it refers to a minister of the gospel who should he pure and guileless and unspotted from the world.—U. II. C. Willingham, OcL. 0, 1870. Mr. Willingham is now editor of the Cartorsville Free t'ress, and one of Dr. Felton’s warmest supporters. “George N. Lester is a first rate man. I knew him when lie was a poor young fellow just entering the stray- gle of manhood. With wind and tide against him. and the wind sometimes blowing a storm, if not a cyclone, he has held the rudder and directed his course well and bravely. He belongs to that class of men who enlist every sympathy of my heart. He bus never forgotten the great laboring classes from which he sprang. lie will neith er deceive nor desert them. Trere aro few men more estimable and worthy in all tlml makes true manhood. 1 have been intimatewith him for yearsf and regard him as one of my person al friends. Add to alt this his hero ism in the late wai and his genuine Christian qualities, (for he belongs to that class of men who ‘walk by faith in Hod',) anil you can form some idea how hard it is for me not to support Aim.—lion.

Ho is, Jjitn with the highest eulogies. II making u vigorous cunvii6s. £©“Dr. Felton knew six years ago all that ho knows now about Judge Lester except, one thing, and that thing he learned when ho oharged Lester with dishonesty at Oarters- ville. I-#*"A down-eastcr tins invented an artificial honeycomb for bees, and which will enable them to devote their entire time to gathering honey, lie is now at work on a rubber boy to tako it out on while the honey iB being removed. The Secretary of War has made a favorable response to the petition from Memphis for a supply of tents to shelter poor people in the country, although, ns lie stales, there is no law for such proceediugs other than the law of humanity. l3£”Ciuciuuttti, by a majority vote of fifty-eight hundred, decided to issue.$3,000,000,00 more of bonds in order to oomplet* her great South ern road. This road will be of infi nite advantage to the South mid its completion at an early day will he duly appreciated. J3f Wt would be glad to have an V nnswer from Dr Felton to this small question; would he have voted to' grant George Lester license to preach' if he had been un applicant before the conference in Ourteravills the other day, instead of beiug a candi date for Congress? HaT’Dr. Felton hud a brief but very intense attack of patriotism in 1861. It lasted him until Georgia was well out of the union and into a bloody war. He thon entered a large hospital, recovered aud was not troubled with the disorder any more until 1874, when he broke out all over with it again. This last uttack has been aggravated and indefinitely prolonged by aucli stimulating ap plications as $5,000,00 per year and mileage; it is feared that he will not permanently recover until thisstim ulus is (entirely discontinued. Un der: the skillful manipulation of Judge Lester, however, he seems iu a fair way to be reduced to his normal condition. We ndyupfcfs frieudsto be serene and hppejfuland 1‘giye the old man a chance.” (3fDr. Felton said in a speech in Marietta in 1874 : “If the Convention was to noini- nute us good and pure n man as Geu, N. Lester, I would ground arms and retire to private life. And yet lie knew then every syllable that lie knows now about wlmt lie now sees fit to cull Lester’s corruption and dishonesty. For four hundred and eighteen dollars a month lie is stri ding over this district hissing out the vilest nulumnies against this “good mid pure man,” half of which, if true, should send Lester to the chain gang; instead of to Congress. J3f”Dr. Felton knew (If he knows now) six years ago, that Ccorge N. Lester bail stolen thousands of dol lars of the emigration fund nnd lind assisted Governor Drown nnd others iu stealing two millions lour hundred thousand more, and yet he sits qui etly by and sees him honored with the highest offices within the gift of tile Methodist church and Inis no words for hint but words of praise. But when ho uspires to be a member of the United States Congress the pious doctor raises his hands in holy horror at the thought of such a cor rupt man ever being a member of Hint body. iS?” Where was Dr. Felton when Bullock, Brown, Lester and others were (us he says) robbing Hie state of two millions four hundred (lions- aud dollars? Why did he not then ruisc his voice and put in his “halle lujah licks,” when it might have done good? Was it because there wuc no four hundred and eighteen dollies per month to he made at it? No! we scorn tlie thought that lie could have been influenced by any such consid erations lie despises the “filthy lu cre.” He wus at home organising liis hospital forces for another ad vance backwards. That’s where lie wus! JlgfDr. Felton know six years ago all that lie knows now about George Lester embezzling public funds und corruptly aiding others to defraud the people of Georgia of two million lour hundred thousand dollars; and yet during nil these years lie sits witli linn in all tile conferences of his church, kneels with him around the same altar and graciously honors sees this corrupt man (as lie now terms him) for two years filling the high aud responsible office of Judge of the Superior court for Blue llidge oircuit and.never a word do we hear from him in disapprobation tliorepf. Ilo is good enough for a Judge, good enough for the highest honors oou- furred by the Methodist church up on laymen, but for a congressman, great heavens! ho will never,do for a congressman! !3?”The yellow fever is making fearful ravages in New Orleans, Memphis and Grenada. It has be gun so early’ this season that great fears aro entertained by all the south ern cities and towns within its range. Could an appeal he more pathetic than the following, sent to the daily press? Wilmington, N. 0., August 15.— The following has been received here from Grenada, Miss.: “Grenada, Miss., Aug. 14, 1878. “To the Mayor of Wilmington : “Help ns to pay nurses and bury the dead. Our town is a graveyard. We need help. The Mayor is dying, and I am the only officer left “E. D. A. Melton, “City Marshal, Acting Mayor.” Immediately upon the receipt of the. aboVI telegram the Board of Al- dermen of this city convened in ses sion and made a contribution for the Grenada sufferers, and appointed a Ooinmittee of seven to solicit contri butions from the r oitiaeH8. It is thought a liberal sum will be raised. A Correction. In our remurks in lost week’s issue about Col. Joel Branham’s speech, wo Btated that “in 1873 the Reese com mittee of . the legislature reported that the courts should investigate the lease.” . We should have said that in 1873, W. M. Reese, chairmuu of the lease committee wrote to Hou. B. If. Hill that his opinion wus the lease should bo investigated in the courts, and this was the opinion of the com mittee that made the majority report, 4hough.it il Dot expressed, in the re port.

There is no doubt but that he is the cause of thousands be coming dissatisfied with their condi tion in life and the day is not fur dis tant when an uprising will take place by these fellows with a view to better themselves. Kearney is an opponent to both WASHINGTON LETTER. WAS1IINGTON, Aug. 16,1878. Mr. Roberts, Editor of the New Orleans Dcmo&ral, is certainly the frankest Witness, at least, tliut tile Potter Committee lias yet examined.

' instil into heads of the poor Eastern laboring men that they should take tin reins of government into Iheir o^n hands and guide the ship of State, lie persuades them that they should not pay any tax, hot be gen tlemen without the necessary accom* paniinontB. In other words, to be brief, Kearney is. doing all he can, is saying all he can, to render a dissat isfaction amongst the mechanics nnd laboring men of the country; to cause an uprising and a consequent large amount of blood-shed. From what can be inferred, Kearney does not propose to lose any blood—no agita tor of crime does.—There is no de nying the fact that the people of the North and East aro becoming unea sy. It is well that they should, for a large proportion of their popula tion are subjects of Kearney ism. We of the South have but little to fear from its immediate evil effects. Our cities and towns are mos»l^*un known to large manufactories aud manufacturing interests. If Mr. Kearney or any other man should come South and stir up strife be* tween our people, we should favor his gracing the nearest lamp post and that before be innoculated many with his poisonous theories. (The Romo Curler.) The Tribune’s Preference. Just h few days before the meeting of the Ringgold Convention, which nominated Hon George N. Lester for Congress, the Rome Tribune ex pressed u preference forjudge Lester over Dr. Felton. We give our rend ers the whole mutter just us pub lished in the Tribune, except tliut we use capital letters iu that part of it referring especially to Judge Les ter : Editor Triuune—I think you aro disposed to wiggle—at any rate I trust you will allow ino to u-st the sincerity of your pretensions. You sivy I)r. Felton is not your olioicj, and there art six or seven others you would prefer to him, but you have no idea the convention will nominate one of these. Now, sir, would it not have been better for you to have waited aud seen whom the conven tion ,nominated before puttiug on your war paint? But that doesn’t matter. What l want now is for you to tell who the six or seven arc whom you prefer to Dr. Felton. Flense tell ns, and if you lire not too damned fastidious, perhaps, for your egpeolul accommodation, the cunvoulim may nominate one of the chosen few. Yours, An Organizer. Answer? Certainly, sir; we arc nev er ashamed to show our hand. In tlio first place, the propriety of consulting the action of the o inven tion, is one upon which we can hon estly Hiller. Perhaps it would have been better, nnd we should havo wui- ted had not the letter of Mr. Brown clearly convinced ns that his candi dacy was clearly fixed upon, and that the action of the convention would be only nil endorsement of his claims. Next, as to the “fnvhrbd few.” We prefer Judge A. R. Wright to Dr. Felton, we prefer Ool. D. S. Printnp to Dr. Felton, we prefer Ool. W. H. Dabney to Felton, wo prefer Hon. L. N. Trammoll to Dr. Felton, we prefer Col. Abda Johnson to Dr. Fel ton, WE PREFER JUDE GEO. N. LESTER TO DR. FELTON, we prefer Judge J. W. II. Underwood to'Dr. Felton, and we prefer Judge McOutchon to Dr. Felton—Tribune, June—,1878.

' 1 State Government restored to the Democrats, even if the Presidential ticket must be sacrificed. In his own words, if they must unload any part of tlio cargo it must be the part tliut had least Value. The men he repre sented cured much more for their lo cal Government than for anything else. Governor Hayes satisfied him, tliut, if lie should he inaugurated, Nichols would hec/ine Governor. He tuiegraphed Iris impressions to New Orleans und immediately came here and repeated the -promised of Hayes to Lamar und others, und these promises he thinks, are wlmt induced Bun them Senators and Representa tives to refrain from liliibustering in Congress. Generfcl Butler examined tile witness, and his object was, of course, to establish a “bargain.” The General’s feelings towards the Ad ministration are not ut this time of the most lovinj description. The second day of Mi. Roberts’ testimony was devoted parly 1“ The McVeagh Commission, and lie said it was well understood that rtut Comission wns to bo sent to NewfOrleans to “let the Packard Governnent down eusily.” This means that Ilayes, Sherman, Matthews, sent tie McVeagh Com mission to Louisjuiu to get rid of Packard and elcYito Nichols, in pur- suuuce of Hie terns of the bargain by whicn Southern Democrats had helped to secure tie inauguration of Ilayes. Mr. RolieHs speaks as one who knows, andlevidently ho does know, liis testimony of yesterday taken with that o( the day before os tablishes all the “mrgain”’ that But ler, Win. E. Chandler, or any otiier opponent of Mr. Ilayes can cure for. Bsyond question he bargained his way into the While House. This evidence leaves no room for doubt.
