Cartersville, February 3, 1876.
THE REIGN OF TERROR IN GILMER.
The enforcement of the revenue
laws in remote counties from rail
roads is subjecting the people of those
counties to a great deal of trouble
and expense—not to illicit distillers,
but to good and peaceable citizens.
There seems to have been a reign of
terror in Gilmer county a week or
two ago, and it is charged by the
people of that county, in public meet
ing assembled, that—
“ Deputy marshals, and their sub
deputies, and deputy collectors,
armed as if hunting thieves, scour
the country, and at midnight ruth
lessly and insultingly enter the pri
vate dwellings of our citizens, invade
the sacred precincts of home, and in
sult and frighten helpless women and
children under the pretext of search
ing for illicit whisky. All this has
been done in face of the fact that
there has not been a licensed retail
liquor shop in the county for two
years past, and that the prohibition
was the voluntary action of a very
large majority of our own people.
So decided and universal was the op
position to the manufacture and sale
of ardent spirits in this county that
there was no organized opposition to
the act of prohibition, and yet we
are represented as associated with il
licit distilleries in rebellion against
the government.”
Week before last a “raid” was
made in Gilmer, commanded by
Captain C. B. Blacker, deputy mar
shal and special collector, supported
by his special deputy marshals, Juan
Anglin and Eblin, Captain Ware,
deputy collector, and Sergeant Wells
with three United States soldiers,
Wm. O’Grady, Nevvnan and Lyon,
and guided by parties named Autrey
and Early.
The first attack was on the prem
ises of Thomas Jones, on Boardtown.
Jones was arrested, his dwelling
house searched, two teacups of whis
key found, seized and drank by the
raiders. Thomas Jones, who was
sick in bed, was carried off, although
no distillery or whisky was found on
except about a pint- his
wife and daughters insui
flans entering their bed rooms at
night when they were in bed and
asleep.
From there a squad proceeded to
Mr. John Emory’s, where they
found four neighbors in the still
house waiting for the moon to give
light so as to go on home. These
citizens, Hall ford, Leatherwood,
Rogers and Sisson, where arrested
without warrant or authority of law,
hecause they were found sitting by
the fire, but not engaged in running
the still. These citizens were search
ed for arms, and although they dis.
claimed any interest or connection
with the distil lei y and told who the
VWlin VT 00, tl.x/j 4 i __ _* •
guard and not allowed to move or
get off their seats. A guard was
placed at the door of the still house.
Shortly afterwards, Mr. Emory,
whose dwelling was about fifty yards
distant was notified by a neighbor
that the revenue officers were in the
neighborhood, and ran to his distil
lery, and was shot dead without be
ing challenged or notified that any
one was in his distillery except his
neighbors. The lifeless corpse w r as
dragged into the creek, and brush
and logs thrown over it. The still
was then thrown down, beer and
mash tubs cut to pieces, and Mrs.
Emory’s wash pot broken to pieces.
Hailford, Leatherwood, Rogers and
Sisson were handcuffed and marched
to Emory’s house. Sergeant Weils
entered the house, filled two jugs
with brandy from a keg holding less
than five gallons (and it was all that
was In the house;, uurst the keg and
wasted the remainder on the floor,
cursed and swore and left. The fol
lowing is another extract from the
proceedings:
On the morning of the 15th Mrs.
Emory was led to the body of her
dead husband by seeing his hat float
ing in the creek. An inquest was
held and warrants issued for the ar
rest of the criminals. As law abid
ing citizens we have appealed to the
law, and by the decision of the law
will we abide, but this will give us
no relief unless the leaders and in
stigators of this horrible tragedy are
checked. To this end we appeal to
the General Assembly of Georgia,
now in session, and ask them to take
such steps as will afford us protec
tion. We appeal to our members of
Congress and ask them to bring the
matter to the attention of the Fed
eral authorities and ask protection
for us from the Federal government.
The foregoing facts we gather from
the proceedings of a large meeting
held last week in Ellijav, compris
ing some of the best citizens of the
county. We cannot doubt the truth
of the statements made. It is a sad
reflection upon free government
where the execution of the public
laws are attended with such acts as
those recited. The revenue collectors
are bound to enforce the laws, but
they are not bound to insult and
murder in the performance of their
duties. They are not required to
enter the bedrooms of respectable
ladies in the night time for such par
pose. Such ruffianly conduct ought
to be repelled by the people if they
can have protection in no other way.
It is a shame and disgrace, and an
outrage upon a free people to subject
them to such outrageous conduct
on the part of Federal officials and
soldiers.
If the Legislature, now in session,
does not take proper action in re
gard to such conduct, it will not de
serve the respect of an honest people.
It is an outrage upon private rights
and public liberty that ought to meet
the sternest condemnation and due
punishment, and we hope to see the
violators properly dealt with.
When we took hold of The Ex
press it was nearly “played out.”
ls e ' rc ulation is now going up to
thouaa,^’“" dr “ 1 ’ aud ‘ wiU be
COMI'LIMEMTBT, VERY.
The Express is under many obli
gations to its confreres for kind words.
These we have republished more as
a vindication of our journalistic rec
ord than from motives of vanity.
This we have felt constrained to do
for the reason that we have been
charged with corruption in becoming
the organ of a ring of which we know
nothing. To those familiar with our
newspaper career no defense is need
ed ; but there are those who are not
acquainted with us,and really believe
The Express is what it has been
charged with being—a charge known
to be false when made by those
making it. The following is” from
the Dalton Citizen:
The Cartersville Express has im
proved wonderfully under the able
editorial management of our old and
valued friend, C. H. C. Willingham,
and is now decidedly one of the best
country weeklies in the State, just
what we knew it would be when we
heard he had purchased the paper.
The people of Cartersville should feel
proud of Charlie Willingham as a
citizen and his paper as one of the
enterprises of the town. He is one
of the purest, most incorruptible ed
itors in the whole land, and could
never be the fawning sycophant of
rings, cliques or designing parties,
the charges of others to the contrary
notwithstanding. We know Charlie
well —have known him from our boy
hood—and a more outspoken, fear
less, consistent, honest journalist
never penned a paragraph.
The editor of the Citizen has known
us for nearly a quarter of a century,
and we thank him for his kind
words.
Since the foregoing was putin type
we have received a letter from an old
and valued friend, residing’ in Put
man county, Ga. He is a gentleman
of fine intelligence and splendid in
formation, and is a farmer. Our read
ers must excuse us for adding to this
article what he has to say of The Ex
press
The Express has been coming
regularly to my address for some
time, and seeing your name attached
as editor, &e., it seems to me like the
return of an old mend after several
years absence. I hope you are firmly
seated upon the tripod,and your pen as
usual a “terror to evildoers.” 1 have
always admired your independent
and manly stand upon every ques
tion that came before you, and it ap
pears not only contemptous, but ri
diculous to me, that any one, should
think that you were capable of
running a subsidied press. The
the best country weekly in the State.
It will certainly be returning in the
end money to their pockets. In any
event I wish you a “full measure”
of success in this new venture. May
it prove to you and yours a real bo
nanza.
With this we are done as far as
any refutation of malicious charges
against ourjournalistic record is con
cerned—for we feel that the subject
is becoming rather a bore to our read
ers, as it is to ourself. We will let
The Express speak for itself and
show the people that it is true to them
and to the right under all circum
stances. The intelligent men of this
section already recognize this fact as
hui Japiuijr lUGrcaoiug vuvuiuvmu
attests. Let the people stand by The
Express and we will give them a
paper edited,printed and published en
tirely at home , and one of which they
shall feel proud.
RUFUS It, BULLOC K.
The Atlanta Herald says that while
Dr. Bozeman and the treasury com
mittee were in New York, they met
Bullock, who gave them valuable in
formation, and aided them all he
could in the investigation. Bullock
talked freely about matters in Geor
gia during his regime, though we do
not feel at liberty to publish his con
versation, in this regard, as reported
to us. He was with the committee,
in New York, a week or ten days,
and exhibited signs of straitened cir
cumstances. It is said that he had
just applied for a clerkship ori the
Eric road, and was quite anxious to
get it. He still cans Georgia his
home and hopes at some future day
to return to it. He says that Blod
gett was “the foxy little fellow” of
his administration. He is not living
in New York City, hut in the cen
tral portion of the State. lie says
he frequently meets Georgians and
generally takes occasion to call upon
them when he hears they are in the
city.
It is one of the strangest things of
the times that Bullock, Blodgett and
Kimball are charged with having
stolen a great deal of money from
the State and they are not brought to
justice. With a Democratic Gover
nor, with a Democratic Legislature,
and with the State thoroughly Dem
ocratic, and the party pledged to an
honest administration of public af
fairs, we do not see why these men
have not been brought to account for
wlmt they stand charged with—espe
cially when we remember the where
abouts of all three are well known,
and would give hut littie trouble to
secure them. We say it is very, very
strange that justice is so slow in the
hands of a Democratic Governor and
a Democratic Legislature.
If Bullock does not fear the law
and justice why does he still continue
to call Georgia his home and yet does
not return home? If Blodgett is in
nocent, why does he keep away from
his friends in Georgia? If Kimball
is guilty of wrong doing, why is it
that he is not dealt with ?
The question is, Did these three
men, or any two or either one of
them ever wrong the State? If they
did, where is Georgia justice that it
does not reach out and take these
men in and deal with them ? Do we
understand by the inaction of the
Governor in the matter, they are in
nocent, while they are afraid to re
turn? The people would like to
know something of this matter.
We know very well if a poor devil
of a man were to steal a sack of corn
from the State with which to feed a
starving family, he would soon find
his way to the chain-gang. If these
men are guilty, let us have a Gov
ernor to bring them to justice.

THE CONVENTION BILL.
The amended bill, as p.iased by the
House, calling a State constitutional
convention will not he satisfactory to
the people. As the bill now stands
it shows a mistrust of the people.
The original bill left the calling of a
convention to the people themselves;
but the majority in the House took
the right of the people to decide the
matter out of their hands and as
sumed the responsibility, calling the
convention direct. This is not what
the people wanted. It was desired
that a majority of the people should
say for themselves at the ballot-box
whether they wanted a convention
or not. It is not too late for the
Legislature to give the bill a proper
shape, and if that body is true to the
people it will yet allow the people to
speak for themselves.
The calling of a convention in any
shape has been met with obstinate
opposition all the while. One ex
cuse and another has been given for
several years why such a convention
should not be held, but none of them
have been even plausible. The great
opposition to it now is based on a
pretended belief that such a conven
tion would have a damaging influ
ence against the Democratic party in
the approaching Presidential cam
paign. We do not believe it. Ala
bama had a constitutional conven
tion last fall, and no bad results have
flowed from it.
We can see no good reason why
the bill before the Legislature may
not be passed as originally printed,
bringing on the election the coming
spring. The quicker the better for
the interests of the State and people.
We should like to see the last vestige
of Radical work in Georgia wiped
out during this great centennial year.
We would like to have our bastard
constitution wiped out by the “glo
rious fourth of July” as a declaration
of Georgia’s independence of all
Radical laws; and if the Legislature
had the nerve we should see the
great work accomplished by that
time.
If we had the remotest idea that
suen a convention this year would
damage the Democracy the slight
est degree in the Presidential cam
paign, The Express would be the
last paper to urge it; but we do not
see it, and no man has pointed out
any evil that might result there
—’r *imidll.v. Demo
cratic expediency, and we won’t say
Democratic treachery to the will of
the people have too long deferred this
work. If there is nerve and honesty,
and a proper respect fi>r the people
in the Legislature, ler it give us a
convention this year.
AND THEY ALL WANT A DOG LAW.
One of the most amusing subjects
of discussion in regard to the legis
lative going at Atlanta is the clamor
ous clamor fora a dog law. This
howl against our canine friends
comes mostly from those journals
and craters opposed to a constitu
cfi#nfinni convention.
Potiphar Peagreen wants a—dog
law !
The Atlanta Constitution wants a
—dog law!
Tne Atlanta Herald wants a —dog
law !
The Rome Courier wants a—dog
law !
The Demothenes of the mountains,
he wants a—dog law !
The tallow faced statesman from
the wire grass, and he wants a—-dog
law!
All these say a dog law is thegreat
necessity of Georgia —a necessity
overshadowing every other legisla
tive demand. A dog law is more
important than that the people of
Georgia should have a constitution of
their own making. In their opinion
the destiny of Georgia hangs upon
the enactment of a—dog law ! Poor
dogs ! a discussion of them affords an
escape for the eloquence of Cicero
and the wisdom of Solomon.
We admit that some dogs are bad
among sheep; we admit that the
sheep are afraid of dogs, and that
dogs are fond of mutton ; we admit
there are more dogs than are necess
ary to keep the wolves off; we admit
with all the love we have for a faith
ful dog, there is some necessity for
a dog law as an abatement for sheep
killing, hut we cannot conceive that
a dog law is the overshadowing ques
tion of importance to the people of
Georgia. We do not think with the
Herald that the people of Georgia
would have been repaid for the ex
penses of a whole session in the pass
age of “a good dog law,” if no other
legislation had been enacted.
A constitutional convention is of
more importance than a dog law. It
is what the people need, and it is
what they desire, and it is what they
should have in order to wipeout for
ever every vestige of Republicanism
in the State—to blot out the organic
system of State government which
is rapidly destroying the material
prosperity of the State and destroying
private credit and entaling upon the
people endless litigation before the
courts. A dog law is no where in
comparison to this.
We are glad to learn that the spring
term of the Southern Female Col
lege, at LaGrange, Ga., advertised
in The Express, has opened well
will with a large attendance of pu
pils from all parts of the country.
There is also a large class in the mu
sic and art departments. This col
lege has a splendid faculty in the lit
erary department, while the music
and art departments are conducted
by gentlemen of superior qualifica
tions. Prof. Schirmacher is one of the
finest musicians upon this continent,
and as a painter Prof. Tomlinson has
not a superior. President Cox de
serves all the patronage he recieves
for the high standing of his college—
employing none but the most superi
or teachers.

Presentments of she Grand Jury, Third
Week, January Term, 1876.
STATE or Georgia— Bartow County.
We, the Grand Jury', chosen and sworn
tor the third week of January term, 1876, make
the iollowing as our general presentments:
We find that the Grand J ury of the first week
of the present term of this Court, in a state
ment accompanyin:. their presentments, that
($17,787.10) seventeen thousand seven hundred
and eighty-seven dollars and ten cents had
been levied and collected from the people of
this county for county purposes lor the year
1875. In this statement this item will be lotlnd,
“Collected on stationery fund, $1,581.50.’’ This
amount was so enormous and unreasonable
that we have had the County Treasurer to
make an explauaf on tons. We find included
under this head $<5.80 for paying non-resident
witnesses; $754 p iid to bailiffs tor attendance
on the courts; $100.65 disbursed for stationery;
Treasurer’s commissions on the same, $63,4?!
making a total of $073.77, leaving a balance in
his hands January Ist of said stationary fund,
$607.73, We earnestly request that the money
paid to bailiffs and non-resident witnesses shall
no longer be charged to the stationary fund.
It is calculated to delude and mislead the peo
ple. No tax should be collected lor any such
fund. None is needed. The small amount of
stationery needed during the session of the
Court should be charged to the general lund.
W e think that three or four reams of writing
paper all sufficient for the use of the Superior
Court and Board of County Commissioners
while in sessions during the year. And the
people of tlio county should not be taxed to
supply stationery for any other purposes, ex
cepting the pun basing of records lor the use
ol the county officers. The several officers of
the county are allowed certain lees lor theii
set vices and are paid for extra labor when
rendered, and they should furnish their own
stationery. This the officers did before the
war when the people had more property to he
taxed than they now have. Now, when half
their property is swept away and they are
bowed beneath an unusual pecuniary pressure
they ought not to he taxed tor stationery that
otltei s arc paid to use. Let the members of
the bar who receive compensation from their
clients itirnish their own stationery and not
tax the debt-burdened people, willows and or
phans to pay for it.
\V e are informed that it has become a custom
to draw from the treasury of the county money
to furnish fuel for the county officers during
ihe whole year. There is no law to authorize
this, fuel should be furnished for the Court
and County Commissioners while in session,
hut no longer. The Justices of the Fence are
as much entitled to fuel as the other officers ot
the county. We, therefore, most respeetfu.lv
and earnestly request our vigilant County
Commissioners to purchase no more fuel for
the purposes above mentioned.
W e concur with the Grand Jury of last week
in reference to the books of the Tax Collector.
Also, ill regard to the repairs needed on the
public buildings, but unanimously dissent
trom their recommendation to build a cook
house and pantry lor the jail, as we consider
ilicit the juil has cost us enough nlready, and
it wilt not permanently injure the walls to be
smoked.
We also agree with tiie Grand Jury of the
first week in reference to the consolidation of
the ollicos oi Tax ( ollcctor and .Receiver, the
salary oi that ollice to be one tliousaud dollars
Itei annum.
Wo recommend that our members of the Leg
islature secure the passage of a bill to attach
the office of County Treasurer to that of the
Orninary and'lie he allowed oue hundred and
hity dollars per annum as additional compen
sation.
. Also, that the pay of jurors, sheriff, deputy,
And bailills be reduced to one dollar per dav
and ten cents per mile lor one round trip
during the week of Court. And in the event
Miis bill is passed this session of the Legisla
ture, that the commissioners are requested to
levy a sufficient tax to pay thejnrors and bail
iffs at the end of each week of Court.
\We laid upon examination that the Treas
urer, upon an examination of the law and bv
advice, has retained on ten thousand dollars
five per cent, corn missions, and we are con
vinced by able counsel that the law only al
lows him one ami one-fourth percent, for all
monies received, and the same per cent, for
paying out. \\ e recommend that the conunis
- loners draw on the 1 rcasurer for the amount
ol $250 for commissions overpaid.
W e recommend that the lee of the Sheriff
tor summoning jurors lie reduced from fifty
cents to twenty-live cents for each drawn juror
summoned.
- Also chat the sheriff be allowed thirty cents
per day lor feeding each prisoner confined in
the jail.
Also that a partition be erected in the jail
so as to keep separate the males and the fe
males, ami eve are lull.v satisfied irons thestate
nieuts ol the sheriff that evil is being com
mitted, which tie, under the present arrange
ments, cannot pi vent.
Also that a neat, revolving, cushioned arm
chair be furnished the Judge’s stand. And
that a hut-rack or hooks, be put on the walls
around the jury box.
We are glad to say that from all the informa
tion we can gather from the various districts
tn the county, that the roads are in a better
condition than they have been for many years
at this season. We suggest lhat the Com
missioners have the law complied with in ref
erence to sign-boards and mile posts.
We request that all stock be kept out of the
enclosure surrounding the Court House.
We have had occasion to investigate the op
erations of the local option law in the city of
Cartersville, and learn that some of the prac
ticing physicians ol tiie place are in the habit
oi leaving with the liquor dealer- certificates
lor the purchase oi spirituous liquors by the
benrer. In some instances these certificates are
are left lying on the counter lor the use of any
one who may wish to use them, thus enabling
tiie liquor dealer to evade the law. We re
spectfully call the mention of die Solicitor
General to this matter, and request that he
take such steps in the premises as will prevent
physicians from debasing that honorable pro
tesston, by lending themselves as villi,a tool*
to liquor dealers in their nefarious traffic.
The jury unanimously request that these pre-
sentments be published in both the county pa
pert.
We return our thanks to Ills Honor, Judge
MeUtitchen for his courtesy and kindness to
this body during the week. Also to the Solic
itor-General Uol. Hticket. We feel grateful
to the Sheriff, Clerk and other officers ot the
Court Tor similar f Tors.
