THE EXPRESS. Cartersville, December 16,1875. THK GUTiKKs'ATQra tr, I-BOBLEJr. A few months ago it was thought bv many an innocent man that Col quitt, Hardeman and James had about an equal start on the guberna torial track two or three years ago, and had been running head to head and neck by neck ever since. The two first were started by political jockeys upon their agricultural bot tom, and it was supposed by the; friends of each that the ques ; tion of bay seed and guano would de cide the next campaign. The friends of James started him out shod with gold and silver shoes, believing that the question of finance would be the winning card. But now the fi lends of Gov. Smith are endeavoring to put him out on the platform of bis execu tive record, which they think is broad enough for him to win the race. Now, all and every one of these possible candidates are good and worthy men, entitled to great confi dence for personal integrity if not for statesmanship, but in which latter all may lay some claim. As mat ters now stand, it would seem that Kirkwood, Vineville, Wynnton and Peachtree street are to have a tussle for the nomination next summer. The winning man will he he who can muster up the most delegates in the convention. Gov. Smith has pa triotically declared that he would not be a candidate for the nomina tion, but would serve the people if they desired it. It now only remains for Colquitt, Hardeman and James to' make a similar declaration in order to leave their personal friends and the people free to make their own choice. But seriously, we think it verv un certain who will be the next Demo cratic nominee for Governor. Our worthy fellow-citizen, Col. J. W. Wofford, is the only man who has yet received a formal endorsement from any kind of meeting of citizens for that honorable position, and yet he is not exhibiting any anticipation for the coveted honor. I>e that as it may, we have got to wait and see what the people have to say about this gubernatorial question. Until they speak, we think the personal friends of Colquitt, Hardeman, James <\*-d Smith would act the < • - m to let their nags wind a . ; —ing the winter months and grov. stronger for the campaign by being kept under a warm blankets until the spring races begin—for we tel! them it will re quire both wind and bottom to come out ahead upon the gubernatorial track next summer. Without being a prophet or the son of a prophet, we are inclined to be lieve that the claims of the man who will he the Democratic nominee have not been pressed yet, either by him self or riends. We think it will be some man who doesn’t desire the office, and if he did is too modest to jump on the track two or three years before the race i* Vv'T ~ " worn a ne allow his friends to put him in such a forward position as an early aspirant. Now, we say to all, in conclusion, wait until the people—the yeomanry —begin to speak out their sentiments in public meetings, and then we’ll see who is to be the man of their con fidence and choice. • RILIEF OF THE MASSES.” A Chattooga county correspondent of the Home Courier, in the course of a communication on the above sub ject, says: Will you not, Mr. Editor, come to the relief of ttie masses and raise tin* cry for retrenchment and reform? Hally to your aid that veteran co worker in the caus of justice and right, Col. t ouche, of the Commercial. Your late predecessor, thegifted Will ingham, in his new field of labor, will wield the pen of a “trained journal ist” in response to the wishes of the people. Grady, of the Herald, will gallantly come to the rescue and send out a corps of reporters to interview everybody, and will Jet his numerous readers know what they say. Col. ( iarke, of the Constitution, shivering amid the dews and mists of Okefino kee swamp, will dip his quill in its dark waters and beidiy write, “let the wishes of the people be respected.” As lr as i in Express is concern ed it will labor zealously to “let the wishes of the people be respected.” A e are opposed to all public meas ures that do not express “the will of the people.” Wo intend, a far as wo can, to make The Express the organ of the people in opposition to all rings and cliques, whether politi cal or otherwise. It shall he the ad vocate and defender of tlier rights and the upholder of their interests. We shall oppose all taxation calcu lated to burden the people unneces sarily. We are in favor of the strict est economy compatible with the effi ciency of the public service, whether national, State or municipal. The Express will advocate the severest retrenchment in the financial affairs of the State so that the burden of taxation may be lifted from the: shoulders of all industries, and trie pursuance of such a policy ad vance and build up our agricultural l interests, which are now so depressed. Unless our agricultural interests *re fostered there can be no prosperity ! for of our citizens. MJhen tne farmer suffers all material inter ests languish. 1 he Express will be tire friend of the people, a fact they will all letirn in time, if they have been falsely led to believe otherwise. It will stand j by and for the people and will labor I that their wishes shall “be re- i speeded.” They may expect nothing j ( i'C, but confidently depend upon it At the proper time The Express will be heard with no uncertain sound wherever the interests of the toiling people are involved—not in ic spirit of despicable demagoguery ut lu tlie spirit of truth and honesty! j Sawyer, of the Hmne' Courier, \ refers to Grady as “a hero-struck woman ” We merely refer to this CARTERS VIELE, The financial and business strin gency now so depressing all indus trial energies cannot continue as it is always. There must be a change for the better or the worse. Matters in this respect, doubtless, have come to the bottom. The reaction that has followed gambling speculations con sequent upon an inflated currency and depreciated values, we think, has done its worst. Depression can not cause greater stagnation of indus try and enterprise than now exist. Bankruptcy has touched the bottom ; people have been reduced to severe poverty, and those who have the en ergy and pluck to rise must now come to the surface. Many of these may be burdened with debt and will not rise fapidly. Those who have been most cautious in the contraction of obligations will soonest revive and become prosperous—not rapidly, but slowly and surely. Cartersville is out of debt. Her people are lightly taxed. Surround ed by a fine agricultural coutry, with mines of mineral wealth, and sus tained by an energetic population, she will rise to prosperity sooner than her neighboring towns which are groaning under loads of debt. In this respect Cartersville has been wise and sagacious. Iler people have not been le*j into wild schemes and contracted h -avy bonded debts, to harrass and cripple the enterprise of her people and to throttle her in dustry. Alt of those are free to get on the tide of better times when they coino, and the p osperity of the town will be irresistible. Property now so tow will gradually increase in value. Real estate now almost worthless ; will appreciate to such figures as to | make sale now very umvise. Those : having property will do well to hold 1 on to it. And what shall give Cartersville her future prosperity? We say that unity and harmony among her citi zens in the encouragement of all safe and practical enterprises in our midst. Every man who comes here to gage in the manufacture or the production of'anything useful, let him be received with the right hand of fellowship, and be encouraged and sustained in business in preference to others abroad. This keeps more money in circulation. Bay nothing from home that can be made in Car ! tersville or Bartow county. Let i those who manufacture in our midst j sell tluir productions as cheaply as ; the same can be bought elsewhere, and in this way we shall soon live in a great part within ourselves and grow the richer for so doing. There is no town in Georgia more ready to spring forward on the tide of better times than Cartersville, when financial affairs begin to bright en up. Nor is there a county that will have greater impetus given to its material progress than when Car tersville bounds forward to a higher destiny as one of the chief towns of Georgia. Only let us all be united in sentiment and harmonious in ac our town and county. OPENING OF THK ETOWAH. The Cherokee Georgian , of last week, contained the following call, signed by a number of citizens: We, the undersigned citizens of Cherokee county, Georgia, fully con vinced of the feasibility of opening the Etowah river for navigation to Canton, and believing that the open ing of the river would be of incalcu lable advantage to this entire region of country, hereby join in a call.for a public meeting to be held in Canton on Saturday. December 11, to take such steps as may then seem best for tiie purpose of bringing the subject prominently before Congress at its present session. We have not heard what was the result of the meeting, but trust it was a full one, and that an interest was created in behalf of this enterprise that will awaken the peopleai! along the line of the river. We should be glad to see Cartersville have a meet ing on this subject. It is very proba ble that the Coosa will be opened at an early day, and it will be of the ut most importance to have the im provements extended upon the Et owah. These rivers opened t<> navigation to the Gulf would certainly place this section of country in possession of a line of cheap transportation that would greatly benefit our trade and; the prosperity of our farmers. What say our citizens in regard to having a meeting on the subject at I an early day? Concert of action! among the people along the line in terested may secure t he* results de sired. COE. WOFFORD'S VIEWS. A correspondent of the Home | Courier, writing from Chattooga j county,says: “Well, our best wishes attend Col. Wofford for his faithful service, and j we cordially endorse his views on the subject of biennial .Legislatures. : The tax-payers of Georgia say amen jto the proposition. Our Legislature ; meets too often, and there are too many members; half the number will do the business much better i than the present unwieldy, unqualii i fled, ill-selected body, it is really a ! farce now.” The writer of this article long ago, in another journal, advocated re trenchment on this line. The Legis lature is an unwieldy body, made up to a considerable extent of very poor material. The Senate is small enough, but the House needs pruning ! by cutting off the “dry-rot” that finds its way there every session. Wwant a smaller body of better material, composed of men of brain— honest and intelligent legislators de voted to the interests of the State and people. We have had enough of local, class I and cross-roads legislation to disgust! a sensible people with representative government. This has sprung from the effects of the war—the legitimate , fruits of the infamous reconstruction measures which unsettled ail healthy legislation. What wo want is a smaller Legislature, made up of good material and opposed to all peanut measures. C. n. C. WILIISGIIAM. The first number of ThE Cauters vir.EE Express, with C. 11. C. Will ingham as editor and proprietor, is ht fre us. Mr. W. is one of the most j industrious as well as accomplished journalists in the State, and we shall look for The Express, under his management, to take a leading posi tion among the country weeklies. From the tone of certain articles in Th k Express, we infer that some-; body lias been charging him with coining to Cartersville in the interest; of a ring or something of the sort. ; Now, we know Mr. W. well, having ; edited a paper at West Point when ! he was at LaGrange, and we have I had several twists with him, but the | idea of ever charging him with be- ' ing connected with a ring would have been about the last thing we | would have thought of. Such a charge, as all know who know any thing about the man, is a humbug gotten up for some special purpose. His whole journalistic career gives the lie to such insinuations, as inde pendence and freedom from cliques and rings of any kind have been the chief characteristic of that career. — Carrollton Times. It having been falsely charged that The Express is being published as the organ of a ring, is the reason we give for publishing’ the above prominently in our columns. It is from the pen of a gentleman who hasltngkuown the editor of this paper intimately. We were com peting journalists in the same county for several years, and our relations were always of the most pleasant character, even to warm personal at tachment. Those who know us best are tne quickest to defend us from baseless charges of corruption. False charges made upon parties will always react upon those making them, and we expect to see the day soon w hen there will not be an hon est nun in Bartow county, or Chero kee Georgia, who will believe any thing false or corrupt of The Ex ' press or its editor. We would scorn to charge any ! living man, white or black, with 1 being guiity of any kind of corrup tion without the most indubitable j evidence of ils correctness. We ex i pect to roly upon the merits of The Express for its support by the peo | pie, and shall make no false war upon others to build up our own in terests. This is a free, bold and in l dependent paper. Married. — At the residence of D. 11. Findley in this city, on the morning of the Bth, by Rev. 8. E. Axson, Mr. 1). B. Freeman, of the Calhoun Times , to Miss Bailie Good win n. — Home paper. Freeman has been quite regular in his visits to Rome this year, and we supposed !*■ was drumming the city | for advertisements. He did get : quite a number, which answered as ! a complete blind as to bis real pur poses. No man is a real freeman until lie makes a good win in the selection of a wife. Freeman and his treasure trove have our fatherly benediction and an injunction that lie give more attention to iiis paper. Editors are not worth much until they are spliced. We clip the following from thn cu van nail News : II is understood that Willingham is now' editing The Cartersville Express, but that pape-- has sudden ly ceased to visit us. We speak tor back numbers. The back numbers have been for warded. We supposed the News was on our mail book, and hence the over sight. There is no paper that sur passes our confrere in our friendly re gards, nor one we should miss more keenly if it did not come. For all its editors we entertain sentiments of more than mere respect. It is one of the best and truest in the South. Watson, of the Macon Telegraph, is an epicure, and this is the way he flutters a city butcher: Mr. C. C. Smith continues to make | his meat market on Mulberry street one of the best in the city. He keeps | a full stock oi'ail kinds of fresh meats, i and has it butchered so nicely that one almost fancies there is some art i in his trade. Will Watson find out where Smith ! came from ? Is lie Chris. Smith, for merly of Newnan ? Is he the Smith we used to know long ago? If lie’s the man, will Watson gently hint to him that we are fond of fine meats? ; Already gentlemen from different parts of the county are compliment ing Tin-: Express. Some say it i? now the best paper ever published in the county. We allribute the last expression to kind feeling. Hut we tell the people of Bartow county and Cherokee Georgia generally, that we shall spare neither pains, labor or ef , fort to place our paper in ilie front rank of Georgia journalism. All we ask is the proper encouragement, good health and the moral and finan cial support of the public. * Some of the papers in this State I have not yet made nominations for Governor, or taken position in favor of any whose names are urged. They are the most influential of the press. ! At a proper time they will doubtless j speak out, and will be backed by the ’ people in bringing forward a man whose name and reputation is national and whose intellect and ex perience will give prestige to our grand old State throughout the land. The Home Courier says that Gov. Smith is not a candidate for Govern or, but that paper is “assured that he could and would not decline the nomination when, at the proper time and in a proper manner, the Democ racy of the State should tender it to him.” lie are assured that there are not less than fifty men in the State of the same state of mind. The Columbus Times opposes Gov. ! Smith for re-election on the ground j of its opposition to the third term j principle. We think the Times had j better fix his opposition on some oth- ; er ground as Gov. Smith has not yet : had a second term. He did fill out a month of Bullock’s unexpired term, j and was elected to the present. I'he polities of some newspapers ! and some men are in the direction of ' where they can borrow the most i money. SIR. CHARGES HERBS*. The directors of the Atlanta Libra ry Association have erased a g oat deal of dissatisfaction in the rem >val of the above gentleman uho h s < so ! long and so faithfully uc‘e i a- libra rian. This was very unceremonious ly done, and with great injustice to Mr. Ilerbst as we believe. Wo are familiar with the manner in which Mr. Ilerbst filled the office; we know how pleasant he made the visits of al! callers; we are a witness as to his great and never-ceasing devotion to the interests of the Association, and know with what pride he kept the library and how his very soul was absorbed in making it the most unique in its historic, artistic and practical collections. No other man within our knowledge could have given the library rooms such beauti ful design in the arrangement of its books, its relics, and in every thing to which they were devoted. Thousands of strangers visited the library rooms because the genial and tasteful, the honest and wholcsouled Ilerbst was the genius, the architect of all that adorned and beautified them. They had learned to regard him as the library—that is, as the soul of it. His place cannot be filled. Visitors from a distance will not find the charm of the past that was in fused kiio the very atmosphere of the rooms when Ilerbst wis the presid ing genius. T< l!i*> Public.

Congress has done but compara tively little business. As soon as the body gets earnestly to work we shall keep our readers advised of all im portani news.
