„ My riads of snowy ankles
Sparkling in the mystic mazes of th dance.
Many are the hearts that are beat
ing, almost audibly, in the bosoms
ofchivalric young Cartersviliians as
the hour draws nigh for their de
parture to the much longed for “cen
tennial tea party” at Kingston. To
some of us it was our first visit to
that pleasant little hamlet, and sure
ly no mortal ever received the first
impression under more favorable aus
pices.
Arrived at Kingston we betook
ourselves to the CoucheHouse, where
we were seated to a most luxuriant
board, while ever and anon our eyes
were gladdened, by the mystic hit
tings to and fro of ethereal loveliness.
At half past eight the hall was
thrown open. Ye gods! What a
sight! For some time we sat in si
lent admiration; but we “reckoned
without our host” in supposing tnat
Kingston hospitality would leave us
to quietly enjoy dumb rhapsodies,
and suddenly we were reminded that
society had a claim upon us by that
American Lord Stair, Mr. 11. H.,
who presented us to some of the fair
est charmers it has ever been our
good fortune to meet.
Were we to attempt a desert ption
of all the pleasures which gladdened
our hearts, we suppose that The
Express itself could not contain the
As the “wee small hours” stole
upon us Lady Washington—Miss
Fannie H.—appeared behind a round
table, laden with porcelian and
Oolong, about which was gathered
many a knight anxious to have his
“faire ladye” enhance the merits of
his"cup with her sparkling wit and
brilliant eyes.
After this reflection we adjourned
to the ladies’ reception room, where
we anticipated a charming pirouette
in the beautiful figures of the Span
ish and Cuban dance; but hardly
had the “myriads of snowy ankles”
begun to “sparkle in the mystic ma
zes ot the dance” when one of the la
dies of the Memorial Association
threw a damper upon our youthful
merriment by hoping “that it would
only be necessary to remind us that
this* was not the time and place for
such merry-making.” (The receipts
of the evening were to assist in erect
ing a monument to the Confederate
dead interred near Kingston.)
At twelve the happy party dis
persed. We would gladly acquaint
our gentle readers with the facts
which rendered the following day
one of the happiest of our life; but
we dare not trespass longer upon
their patience. We must be content
with tendering our heartfelt thanks
to Mrs. 8., to whom, with her ac
complished daughter and fair niece,
we are under so many obligations.

The Decoration at Resaca-
On Saturday the 13th, Gen. Col
quitt addressed a large audience at
the Resaca Confederate Cemetery.
It was memorial day, and there were
fully one thousand people present,
Gen. Young was also present and
made a short and strong speech on
the occasion. The ladies were pres
ent in full force with beautiful flow
ers in profusion, all the graves were
decorated. There are about three
hundred soldiers in this cemetery.
It was the first Confederate cemetery
in the State of Georgia. The ground
was decorated by Mr. Green and the
walks laid out andtheflowers arrang
ed by his daughter, Miss Mary Green,
assisted by her sister, too much praise
cannot he given to Miss Green for her
noble work in this behalf.
The speakers were introduced by
Col. J. A. W. Johnson, of Dalton,
both addressee were short but seemed
to be appreciated by the large and
respectable audience in attendance.
Gen. Colquitt found many of bis
old command in this section who
greeted him with great cordially and
many with erident affection. Tito
greatest part of the large assemblage
spent the day in the beautiful
grounds of the cemetery many hav
ing brought their dinners.
It is to be hoped that this beauti
ful custom of once a year assembling
at the cemetery as through Die South
will be kept alive cherished by ali
the people of the South. That we
may do honor to the memory of the
gallant men who died illustrating
Southern manhood and Southern
honor.

The Next Governor of Geor
gia.—Since the retirement of Gover
nor Smith from the contest, the
question as to who will he the next
Governor of Georgia has been more
generally discussed in this section
than ever. After careful inqulryand
counting of noses we believe the sev
eral candidates rank about as fol
lows: First, Herschel V. Johnson,
who, if he will consent to run, stands
a head and shoulders above ail oth
ers; second, A. H. Colquitt, who has
the confidence ana esteem of almost
the entire farming community;
third, L J. Gartrell, who has a fair
following, that would be increased
by a better knowiedgp of that gen
tleman ; fourth, Thomas Hardeman;
fifth (or last), John 11. James—for
there are a very few here who be
lieve a man ought to be made Gov
ernor because he has made money,
so great is the power of mammon
over the inclination. The friends of
each individual named may think
we have not judged without bias,
but our honest conviction places each
one as above. Of course, the nomi
nee ot the convention will be en
dorsed by the people. —Etberton Ga

TEE POLITICAL REFORMERS.
A Reform Address to both I’arties and
the Country at Large.
The gentlemen who met in the
Fifth Avenue Hotel to confer upon
the present political situation, with
special regard to the Presidential
campaign resumed their session on
Tuesday, Rev. Dr. Woolsey presid
ing. The President announced that
the Committee on Address, appointed
the day before, was ready to report,
and immediately Carl Sehurz arose
and read the following addreas to the
American people:
Fellow-Citizens; A conference
of citizens assembled in New York
sincerely desiring to serve the best
interests of the American people, beg
leave to submit to your candid con
sideration the following appeal:
A National election is approaching
under circumstances of peculiar sig
nificance. Never before in our his
tory has the public mind been so pro
foundly agitated by apprehensions of
dangers arising from the prevalence
of corrupt tendencies and practices
in our political life, and never has
there been greater reason for it. We
will not display herein or detail the
distressing catalogue of the disclos
ures, which for several years have
followed one after another in rapid
succession, and seem to have left
scarcely a single sphere of our politi
cal life untouched. The records of
the courts, State legislatures and of
the National Congress speak with
terrible plainness, and still they are
adding to the scandalous exhibition.
While such a state of things would,
under any circumstances appear most
deplorable, it is peculiarly so at the
present moment, when we are about
to celebrate the one-hundredth birth
day of our national existence and
have invited the nations of the earth,
on this great anniversary, to visit out
land and to witness the evidence of
our material progress, as well as the
working and eiFects of that Republi
can government which a century
ago our fathers founded. At the im
pending national election, various
questions of great importance will be
submitted to our judgment. The
settlement of the civil war as consti
tutionally fixed, must be conscien
tiously maintained, and at the same
time the Government strengthened
in general confidence by the strict
observance of constitutional princi
ples and the old brotherhood of the
people, revived by a policy of mutual
justice and conciliation. Our solemn
and oft-repeated pledge to faithfully
discharge all national obligations,
must be fulfilled, not only by the
payment of the principal and inter
est of our bonded debt when due,
hut also by the removal not later
than the time provided by the exist
ing law, of the curse of our redundant
irredeemable paper currency, which
not only impedes the return to true
prosperty, but has also largely con
tributed to the existing demoraliza
tion.
It is useless to console ourselves
with the idea that corruption to the
ex isting demoralization.
It is useless to console ourselves
with the idea that corruption among
us must be ascribed solely to the im
mediate effects of the civil war, and
win, witnoucan erroriat reiDrus, twun
pass away.
There is another cause which is
riot transitory, but threatens to be
come permanent. It is that system
which has made the offices of govern
ment the mere sports of party victory
the system which distributes the
places of trust and responsibility as
ihe reward of party services and the
bounty of favoritism —the system
which appeals to the mean impulses
of selfishness and greed as the con
trolling motive of political action—
the system which degrades the civil
service to the level of a mere party
agency and by treating the officer as
the hired servant of the party, and
taxing him for party support, stim
ulates corruption and places it under
party protection—the system which
brings the organization of the party,
under the control of their most self
ishly interested, and therefore most
active, element, the place-holders and
the place-hunters, thus tending to or
ganize a standing army of political
marauders to be paid out of the treas
ury of the government, who, by or
ganized action, endeavor to subju
gate the will of the people to their
ends through the cultivation of a ty
rannical party spirit.
We have a beady reaped so great a
harvest of disaster and shame, that
we repeat that it has now become the
first duty of the American people to
re-establish the moral character of
the Government by a thorough re
form. What can we do toward this
end in the impending national elec
tion? In this respect, fellow-citi
zens, we consider it our duty to speak
very plainly. Never were the cause
of good government and the honor of
the American nation more imme
diately dependent on the character,
ability and reputation of the men
to be selected for the highest offices.
In view of the grave circumstances
at present surrounding us, we declare
thut the country cannot afford to
have any man elected to the Presi
dency whose yery name is not con
clusive evidence or me most uncom
promising detei mination of the
American people to make this a pure
government once more. Our duty in
this respect is plain and imperative.
D suffers no trifling or equivocation.
The woriDOiit clap-trap affair, prom
ises in party platforms, wifi nqt sat
isfy it, neither will the fine profes
sions o a the part of candidates. Not
mere words are needed, but acts; not
mere platforms, but men. We,
therefore, declare and call upon all
good citizens to join us, that at the
coining Presidential election we shall
support po candidate who in public
position eyer countenanced corrupt
practices or contaminations, impeded
their exposure and punishment or
opposed necessary measures of re
form. We shall support no candi
date who, while possessing official
influence and power, has failed to
use his opportunities in correcting
I abuses coming within the reach of
his observation, but for personal
reasons and party ends have per
mitted them to fester, Such men
may be counted on not to uncover
and crush corruption, but for the
party’s sake merely to conceal it the
| more.
We shall support no candidate,
however conspicuously his position
or brilliant his ability, in whom the
impulses of the party manager have
shown themselves predominant over
those of the reformer; for he will be
inclined to continue that fundamen
tal abuse in the employment of the
government service as a machinery
for personal or party ends. We shall
support no candidate who, however
favorably judged by his nearest
friends, "is not publicly known to
possess those qualities of mind and
character which thefetern task of gen
uine tefoiiu MiUifts; iot the
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 26,1576.
iean people cannot afford to risk the
future of the Republic in exepriments
or merely supjAxsed virtue, or ru
mored ability to be trusted, on the
strength of private recommenda
tions. In one word, at present no
candidate should be held entitled to
the support of patriotic citizens, of
whom the questions may fairly he
asked, “Is he really the man to carry
through a thorough-going reform qf
the government? Can he, with cer
tainty, be depended on to possess the
moral courage and sturdy resolution
to grapple with the abuses which
have acquired the strength of estab
lished custom, and to the end to
firmly resist the pressure even of his
party friends?” Whenever there is
room for such a question and doubt
as to the answer, the candidate should
be considered unfit for this emergency
This is no time for so-called availa-i
bility, springing from distinction
gained on fields of action, foreign to
the duties of government, nor to that;
far more dangerous sort of ayailabil
ity which is constituted in this, that*
the candidate be neither so bad as to
repel good citizens, no so good as t(v
discourage the bad. One passive vir-{
tue in the highest place has too
often been known to permit the
growth of the active vice below. Thy
man to be entrusted with the Presi
dency thi3 year must have deserved*
the confidence of honest men, but
also the fear and hatred of thieves*!
He who manages to conciliate the!
thieves cannot be the candidate.—J
Every American citizen who has the
future of the public and the national
honor sincerely at heart, should sol
emnly resolve that the country must
now have a president whose name
is already a watchword of reform—
whose capacity and courage for the
work are matters of record, rather
than of promise—who will restore
the simplicity, independence and
rectitude of the early administrations,
and whose life will be a guaranty of
his fidelity and fitness—a man at the
mere sound of whose name, even the
most disheartened will take new
courage, and all mankind will say
that the Americans are indeed in
.earnest to restore the ancient purity
of their government.
Fellow citizens, the undersigned in
addressing you are not animated by
the ambition to form or lead anew
political party. Most of us have
long been, and are still, mainly at
tached to their party associations. It
would be most gratifying to us to see
by party action candidates put for
ward whose whose character and re
cord answer these requirements,
which present circumstances render
imperative. We earnestly hope and
trust that it will be so. We shall
gladly follow such a lead and make
every effort in our power to make it
successful. But while we are ready
to accept any and every good result
of party action, we affirm that the
moral reform of our public concern
is infinitely superior in importance
to the interests of any political party.
Glad to promote that through party
action we shall insist upon it.
We are confident if al! those of our
fellow citizens who in their hearts
agree with what we have said, will
only take the courage openly to pro
claim their cenvictions and purposes,
such a manifestation alone would
produce an effect sufficient to secure
nominations and election inaugura
ting a better order of things. We
therefore appeal to an good
who find their own sentiments ex
expressed in this address, be they in
side or outside of party lines, to or
ganize in their respective districts
and communicate with the Executive
Committee appointed at this meeting,
so that efficient co-operation may
become possible. Let no effort be
spared in bringing the influence of
patriotic public opiniou to bear upon
those who in the customary way are
soon to nominate the party candi
dates, and when in any event let us
be ready to do what tho best inter
ests of tne republic demand.

ence. Signed by Theodore Woolsey,
Presideni, Vice President and Sec
retaries. The address was received
with great applause and without dis
cussion unanimously adopted.
While Gen. Colquitt, Col. Harde
man and Mr. James are making
speeches in different parts of the
State and enlisting the active sympa
thy and support of their partizans
from the mountain to the seaboard,
making it evident that the contest
between these leading aspirants will
cause Jealousies and heartburnings
difficult to be allayed in the event
one of the three is nominated,
thoughtful men are considering the
propriety of selecting a man so emi
nent for his ability and past services,
that his services would give entire
satisfaction to the people of the whole
State. The nomination of Judge
Hiram Warner or Ex-Gov. Johnson
would secure this end, and, we think,
there is a growing desire on the part
of the people to see one of these dis
tinguished gentlemen the standard
bearer of the Democracy of Georgia
in 1876. Known to be honest, capa
ble and experienced, either would
accept the nomination and make a
chief magistrate of which the State
would justly be proud. —Greenville

That excellent and unpretentious
Georgia humorist, Major Charles H.
Smith, of Rome, known to all the
world as “Bill Arp,” is about to “go
west” and tickle the risibles of that
free and jovial people. That he will
win laurels upon the tour we enter
tain no question. The Liberty (Mo.)
Tribune has this to say of him in ad
vance :
Our citizens will be pleased to hear
that the great American humorist,
“Bill Arp,” so called, in other words
Maj. Charles H. Smith, of Rome,
Georgia, will deliver a series of lec
tures next fall in Western Missouri,
beginning with our favored ci f y. If
any man living can make people
laugh he can. and the people of this
county will welcome hiiq in the most
cordial manner. In 1666, when they
sent $5,000 in money South for dis
tribution among the destitute there,
Major Smith was one of the agents
chosen to apply the money, and this
he did in the mo t honorable and
satisfactory manner.

Arthur Bingham who was arrested
in Mobile a few days ago, and is
under bail on e.iarge of embezzling
$3,000 while State Treasurer, is the
man who was so strongly and per
sistently urged by Senator Spencer
upon the Postmaster-General and
the President for appointment as
Postmaster at Mobile. It is queer
that so good a man as Spencer should
so often be found in association with
THE OHIO DEMOCRACY.
A Sound Platform and Old Bill Allen for
the Presidency.
Cincinnati, May 18. —Pendleton
is permanent chairman of the State
Convention. They will not agree on
the platform to-day. Hard money
men seem to be in the majority.
Thurman’s friends make the conven
tion twelve for hard and eight for
soft money.
In the convention a motion not to
go back on the platform of 1875,
caused excitement. It was finally
decided that all resolutions on the
platform corumitte without debate.
After appointing a committee on cre
dentials, the convention adjourned
to two o’clock-
The majority of the committee on
resolutions reported in favor of hard
money, but the report of the minori
ty of the committee are in favor of
soft money, and was* adopted by a
vote of 3G6 to 300. This is considered
a victory for Allen.'
Mr. Pendleton, on taking the chair,
made a speech-
The committee made two reports.
The reading of the I'eport was fol
lowed by that of the minority of the
committee, by Gen. Morgan, who
claimed that the report represented
nine of twenty members of the com
mittee. It is as foliows:
Resolved , That recognizing the
duty of the Democratic party, a
time honored champion of the rights
of many against the aggressions of
the few, to express its purposes in
pending currency conflict, without
reserve or equivocation, we declare
that we shall urge against all opposi
tion, come from what quarter it may,
in a measure to effect the following:
First. The immediate and uncon
ditional repeal of the republican re
sumption law.
Second. The defeat of all schemes
for resumption which involves con
traction of the currency, perpetuation
of hank issue®, or the increase of the
interest burden of the debt.
Third. The gradual but early sub
stitution of legal tenders for national
bank notes.
Fourth. The issue by the general
government alone of all the circu
lating medium, whether paper or
rnetalic.
Fifth. No forced inflation, no forced
contraction, but a sound currency,
equal to the wants of trade and in
dustry, to be regulated in volume
and gradually equalized with gold by
means of appropriate legislation, such
as making it receivable for custom,
and intereonvertable at the pleasure
of the holder, with a bond bearing
interest not to exceed 3 and 65-100
per cent., payable in gold, so that the
volume ot currency shall not be de
termined by pleasure or caprice of
either congress' or bank.
Bixth. A gradual income tax to
meet at least the premium on gold
needed to pay interest on the public
debt.
Seventh. That public policy and
sense of common justice require that
thp Oliver iasuea uy tne Uovernment
should be a legal tender in payment
of all debt, public or private, and
that we demand the unconditional
repeal of the so-called silver act, so
far as the same limits the amounts
for which the said silver coinage
shall be a legal tender.
Eighth. Resolved, That we are in
favor of a tariff for revenue only, and
we denounce the republican scheme
of resumption as intended and op
erating through a large increase of
the bonded debt a sudden and enor
mous contraction of the currency to
double the burdens of taxation, rob
debtors of their property, paralyze
productive and commercial indus
tries, bast laborers out of employ
ment and fill the land with want and
misery, for the wicked purpose of
doubling the values of money, securi
ties and the subjugation ot the masses
of the people to the imperious sway
of a money oligarchy,
Nintn, That the Democracy of
Ohio present to the Democracy of the
sovereign states of the republic the
name of William Aden as the choice
of Ohio for the presidency.
Tenth. That the delegates of the
state at large and the delegates ap
pointed from the congressional dis
tricts to the St. Louis convention are
hereby requested to favor William
Allen for the presidency and to use
all honorable means to advance his
success.
The President and the Widow,
[YuuaS. 11. in Burlington Hawk-Eye,]
In the Patent office there is a very
pretty widow, recently appointed to
a clerkship. Fate has been good to
her in every way, and now,crowning
all other misfortunes, her health is
failing; a terrible cough haunts her
sometimes, producing hemorrhage
which alarms everybody else more
than the plucky little woman her
self. As pretty widows will always
have baux in abundance, our little
widow often drives out with her ad
mirers, and Saturday afternoon she
started to ride to Arlington. (I’m
not sure it was Saturday afternoon,
but we’ll “p’ay” it was.) Reaching
the Long Bridge over the Potomac,
that terrible cough began ; there was
no stopping it, so the poor little lady
was very weak, when the Bridge was
passed. There is a little hostelery
there,and stopping his horses he gave
her the reins and rushed into the
house for lemons, whisky, anything
to stop that cough. Still she cough
ed, the reins were slipping from her
nerveless fingers, the horses were
restive end"she was looking with
weak terror for her friend’s return
when President Grant came driving
to the scene. His quick eye “com
prehended the situation;” he threw
his reins to his groom, leaped from
his buggy, and telling our little wid
ow to give herself no uneasiness, the
President of the United States stood
there held the till reliev
ed by the widow’s astonished escort.
Meantime the bright blood was dy
ing the lady’s hankerghief—.minute
looks of gratitude were all she could
give. President ejaculated in tender
tones than one would think. “What
if my Nelly should ever suffer so ! ”
Then, giving her his card and bid
ding her come to him for any service
he might render, opr silent President
drovTOff over the bridge.
The New York papers are doing
what they can to make Offenbach
popular. The Times says: “The
opera bouffe is simply the sexual in
stinct expressed in melody, and its
liberetto is anew ‘Heptameron,’
eclipsing in indecency the boldest
efforts <of Queen Margaret.” That
ought to-be goot} far a Mi house.—
