LESTER, If the convention should nominate ns ocnd and pure a man as George N. Lester, I would ‘/round my arms nail retire to the shades of private life.—W. II. Felton in 1874. Oaij.rfco.vn, September 12th. OyOim nny one rend Ziick Hnr- grovo’BCertificute publisbed elsewhere and not bo disgusted with Felton?

Iluohnnnn? BfUouit week will be the time for Iltirulsou county to be assembled. Dr. Felton, why did you not wuit, us the people wanted to hear you und Lester together? 55TQuite interesting proceedings are those detailed in our columns to day. Democrats—Lester democrats, — Felton democrats,— read the ac count of the rally in Home and then decide upon what you think of the way this campaign is being conduc ted, especially by a certain few. Ill , Felton In lliieliannn, 'Ve learn that Dr. Felton spoke in Buchanan on the lltli inst. This is, of course, a refusal to meet Judge Lester there on the23d. The appointment illustrated the coward ice of the doctor and his s'rnng aver sion to meeting Judge Lester in de bate. lie prefers going alone uud speaking to a hundred uud lifty or two hundred people, rather than meet Judge Lester and speak to the whole population of the county, For there are few people who live in liar- alson county who will not be in Buchanan on the 23d. Besides, there will be in attendance considerable numbers from Folk and Paulding. But the Dr. linn not the nerve to meet his opponent, even when that meet ing would give him an opportunity of being heard at once by nearly all the inhabitants of the county. Again say we, let every one nsk himself the question, will such a man, without the courage or the manliness to meet his opponent in open dubate when his interest and convenience imperatively demaiid it of him, stand op manfully in defense of our rights when they are assailed by the shrewd, experienced and ag gressive debaters found in the Halls of Congress? The Tribune on National Banks. Judge Lester says that the nation al banking system should be abolish ed und the national bank bills now in circulation be retired and legal tender greenback notes substituted in their place. We would like to know what difference that would make, as the national hunk bill is just as good as greenback. We are inclined to the opinion that Judge Lester don’t know what he is talking about, and only blazes away for the purpose of befogging the publio mind and getting votes.—Rome Tribune. We are inclined to the opinion thut the editor of the Tribune does not know what he is talking about uud only blazes away to deceive us many of his readers us lie can. Common sense teaohes anykody but a national bunker thut the national buuking system is a curse. Are we to un derstand that in this matter you re flect the Bentimenls of your leader, Dr. Felton? Say? Dr. Felton at Buchanan. We have been reliably informed that Dr. Felton had an audience of notexceeding one hundred at Buch- anau yesterday. There was not the least enthusiasm manifested. The Doctor could have had six or eight hundred to hear him just as eaBy if be had accepted Mr. Brown’s invita tion to meet Judge Lester on the 24th. “The straws show &c” The Yellow Fever. We had intended transferring to our columns the latest dispatches from the infected districts. It is Bimply appalling. In Memphis the Btreets are odorous with the smell of dead bodies.

THE FELTON RALEY I,AST SATUR DAY. A Felton meeting hud been adver tised for some time for lust Satur day in this city. The day came, and with it a large iiifluX' of the colored people,old aud young, and a few white men. About 1 o’clock a procession was formed up Broad street, and was murohed down the street to the step of music discoursed by the colored band. We counted what wo thought was one-half of the procession as they filed across the.lower end of Broad street, and the portion counted was less than sixty. We thought a fair estimate was one hundred and twen ty five, of all ages, and not a white man in the crowd. They boro along with them several bunners, promi nent among whioli was ouo with tliis strange legend: “Down with Traitors.” After a general pnrade through town, with a good deal of hurrahing for Felton, they reached and enter ed City Hall. Here Henry Ober, colored, was called to the chair, and a deputation sent out after Major Z. B. Ilurgrove, postmaster nt this place, who delivered a double- barrelled address in his usual vehe ment style. After Postmaster Hargrove had gotten through, Mr. J. A. Iloltz- claw, ofD-iltuqaroSi in the middle of the crow und said that ho was there by invitation; that ho was the representative of the Republicans of Whittleld county, and thereupon presented his credentials, which were taken by Major Hargrove. The chairman seemod to subside into in significance in the presence of the Mujor, who asked Mr. Hollzclnw for whom he intended to speak, and what he intended to say; Har grove remarking that this was a Fel- lon meeting, and they did not intend to permit any but Felton speeches, or words amounting to the same. Mr. Iloltzclaw went forward to pro ceed with hie piece, when he was caught hold of by 11 rgrove and a negro, who apparently tried to force him from tho hall. At this there was general confusion, and one negro commenced waving his hand to the banrierbeurers aud vociferat ing in a loud tone, “March out, the devil hns got among us, march out!” Such a scene und such confusion beggar description. During the me lee Mr. Holizcluw gut a chance to uunounce that he hired the hall for that night, and that lie and Mr. J. E. Bryant would speak there after dark. At this, Major Hargrove be came furious, asserting that Bryant should.uot be heard. After comparative quiet was res tored, “Mr. Middlebi'ooks,”a colored orator, pooceeded to enlighten the minds of the assembled voters. What Middlebrook said we do not know, nor do we care; we only know that he is the same man that fol lowed Major Hargroveat Cartersville, the Saturday before, and said, ns will be seen by rending our Bartow letter, that Judge Lester had lost his arm in a “disgraceful cause.” The fuot that Major Hargrove would allow this man to speak us an advocu'e of Felton alter he used such language as he did at Cartersville, goes to show that the seed, stum by Dr. Felton at Cartersville, when he sneered at the wonnds of Judge Lester, are bring ing forth theiriegitimatefruit. Night came on, and with it scenes of the wildest confusion ever witnes sed in onr city. Messrs. Bryant and Hojtzclaw hud quite a crowd in front of the City Hall, composed of ne groes, and a few Democrats went out to enjoy the scene. Mr. Bryunt in troduced Mr. Hollzclnw, und Mr. Iloltzclaw announced himself ns u candidate for Congress, and proceed* ed to talk for some little while. Hargrove had taken his crowd tu the Court House where speakers poceeded to talk. Up there words were uttered which are calculated to make the blood of every Southern man run madly through his veins. We heard the report from different gentlemen and thought thut fair dealing required exactness in the statement of words uttered by one of Dr. Felton’s faithful udmirers. We went to ' several gentlemen who beard the speechofthecolored orator, Henry Brown, and got the follow ing statement, with th>-ir names ap pended. Be it remembered that Major Hargrove was present, and these gentleman say that they saw no sign of dissent from him. Here is the statement we have from gentle men who heard the fonl slander upon the women of the South. We could get ol her names, but deem it unnec essary. Not a single man to whom the statement was presented, doubt- ted, the correctness of the words, or refused to certify to their truth, substantially: “When the war broke out the Democrats told every body to go to the war, go the war, and they would see their fannies—their wives and •their children—provided for, and see that they did not Buffer. A great many went. There was Mr. , Mr. and Mr. . (Here ho called several proper names we do not remember) and many oilier noble men from Bartow county. Many fell ill the forefront oftlie bat tle, and their wives went to whore- ism over the graves of tlicir dead hus bands, because the Democrats would not take care of them, and Dr. Fel ton’s smoke house and crib was open all the time.
