THE EXPRESS.
The Express is the fcrm defender and advo
cate of the rights ana interests of the people of
nil classes, and the unrelenting opponent of
all rings, cliques or combinations organized to
defeat the popular will in politics or to injure
any class of citizens materially.
Cartersville, May 25, 1876.
To Our Subscribers.
Parties who have not paid their subscriptions
to The Express will greatly favor us with a
remittance. We arc in great need of the
money to cary on our business. If they can’t
pay all, let them pay a part, as much as they
can.
Those who have given due bills for subscrip
tlons will please come forward and settle.
•‘WHO WILL BE TO BLAME ?”
Under the above heading the Al
bany Nmcs has an editorial in reply
to The Express, and the loliowing
Is the first paragraph :
“With all the due deference to the ex
perience, good judgment and sour.d sense of
the able editor of TheCakteksville Express.
it strikes us very forcibly that his frequent al
lusions to ’political rings,’ ‘combinations,
‘trickers,’ etc., have in their very manner a
greater tendency towards sacrificeing than
st; engthening the Democratic party, llis in
tentions may be legitimate and earnestly
good, and wc believe they arc, but the trouble
is, he attributes too much weight to the will
of a few, and sounds his bugle tco loud over
threats from the discontented Momnses, who
kick before they are spurred, and who hewl
like cowardly curs instead of making an effort
tc defend.”
If there is any icause, political,
that lies nearest to our heart it is to
perpetuate Democracy and to preserve
it in all its integrity. We believe
these two ideas or objects compose
the happiness and security of Ameri
can government. Our respected co
tempoary should remember there
are black sheep in all flocks, and
intriguing Democrats who, a few
years ago were lying around Atlanta
seeking favors from the Bullock
regime, lobbying in the interest of
Kimball and patting Blodgett on the
shoulder, are to-day trying to
control the Democratic party ; try
ing to lead its fortunes. These have
formed “combinations” to secure
office because they have only labor
ed, politically, for office,' and they
W’ould sacrifice Democratic organi
zation to secure office and its emolu
ments. These have drawn men,
heretofore considered good Dcino
cracts, into their schemes of office
getting, and we have no doubt that
now, to-day, that hundreds of offices
are promised on certain contingen
cies.
Are we to be burned for waning
upon such men? Are we to blame
because we oppose the pretensions
and aspirations of men who did not
have the firmness to assert genuine
Democracy in the days of reconstruc
tion? Are we to be condemned be
cause we protest against “rings,
cliques and combinations” formed
for no other purpose than to divide
the spoils of office, and thereby dis
rupt and scatter the Democratic party
Dy making it a political oiganization
that does not refleet popular senti
ment? The News should be careful
how 7 it sondemns those who are anx
ious to preserve Democratic organi
zation and to perpetuate its existence
by making it the party of the peo
ple.
The editor of The Express is not
an officivseeker, nor has he any kin
folks that he w 7 ould promote politi
cally, at the sacrifice of the public
good. He has risked as much for
Democratic principle as any man in
Georgia according to his humble po
sition and influence, and he has never
asked a favor from the party of any
kind, except that it conserve the
interet of the whole people, We
have always labored, in an humble
way, for the interest of the people,
and have exerted our poor influence
in the preservation of Democratic or-
ganization as the best and only
means of securing the greatest good
to the people. This thing he has
done while threatened with the sup
pression of his paper and imprison
ment.
Having thus labored ;for the Dem
ocratic party the editor of Tiie Ex
press is not willing that “rings,
cliques, and combinations” shall
succeed in making Democratic organ
ization odious, thereby destroying
its integrity and influence. This is
our great political devotion a devo
tion as pure and unselfish as ever
emanated from human heart, al
though we say it for ourself, for all
of which we have asked nothing nor
never will. Don’t tell us, therefore,
there are no political combina
tions at work to promote the ends
of a certain class of Democrats, many
of whom were silent and inactive
during the days we were under Rad
ical rule in Georgia, but were en
gaged in making all they could in
money out uf the Infamous Buttock
regime— who were the hired lobbyists
of the minionsof Bullock, and were
seek ing politicat favors at his hands.
Our reward is honest poverty, a
boon we prefer to all the emoluments
at the sacrifice of the interest of the
people. As long as we publish a pa
per we shall stand by the honest peo
ple of Georgia, and contribute the
mite of our little influence to the end
that the people shall rule instead of
“rings, cliques and combinations”
that may be formed to deceive them
and thus break up the Democratic
party by making it odious because it
does not reflect the sentiment and
will of the people.
The Atlanta Constitution , of last
Saturday, contained a paragraph to
the effect that Gen. P. M. B. Young
would likely be sent as a member of
thelower house of the General Assem
bly from Bartow county, and that he
would also be likely to be a formida
ble candidate for Speaker. As this is
the first news of the kind we have
heard, even here at home, we should
like to know where and how the
Constitution gets its political news.
Now, we have to say to that paper
that no such proposition has been
mooted in Bartow county; but there
is a very strong element herein favor
of Gen. Young being returned to
Congress . Will the Constitution tell
us wjm fqrni.sheSiit with the political
jjpw<j paftow bounty ?
RUFUS E - BULLOCK.
AJittle over five years ago llufus
B. Bullock, Governor of Georgia, flea
from the State in fear of the majesty
of the law. A Democratic Legisla
ture was about to assemble, which
had been elected by the people who
had been robbed, plundered and out
raged by the creature and his rain
ions who was brought to Atlanta last
week as a prisoner ostensibly to an
swer certain indictments charging
him with cheating and swindling.
Why he is brought back to the scenes
of his rascality just at this time we
have no means of telling—especially
when a requisition upon the Gover
nor of New York might have been
made five years ago. Why a Demo
cratic administration has deferred
this act of justice to the people of the
State until this late day we cannot
tell. Why it is that Bullock, a refu
gee from justice, has gone at large in
the State of New York, when charges
and indictments of the most serious
character were resting against him,,
is a problem In our State administra
tion no one can divine except those
in the secret. And yet Bullock says
he was ready to return to Georgia at
any tiino his presence might be ask
ed for. Docs any one know why
these things are so?
But no sooner had Bullock regis
tered his name at the H. I. Ivimbail
House last week, and while he was
in the hands of an officer, than num
bers of prominent gentlemen called
to greet him in the most cordial
manner; and when called upon to
give a bond to appear to answ r er be
fore the courts to the most grievous
charges, he did not have to raise his
hand or to move a muscle to secure
the necessary signatures to make it
conformable to the demands of law.
His personal liberty w r as scarcely
molested. Hestrutted over the town
in all the majesty of assumed up
rightness, and w 7 as overwhelmed
with the kindness and attentions of
citizens of Atlanta, and talked with
all the freedom that a clear conscience
could give to human impulses.
We say now that Bullock is in no
more danger than Kimball and Blod
gett. We believe his arrest is a mere
farce, so far as results will follow.
Ho is in a condition now, with Blod
gett, to work up the political cam
paign in Georgia if he desires to take
an active part in it. No; Bullock
is safe and he knows it. An arrest
so long deferred doesn’t amount to a
straw. We say it is a deferred arrest
because it could have been made four
or five years ago just as easily as it
was done last week. The only dif
ference in the matter with Bullock is
that, having filed a bond to appear
when called for, which will probably
never occur, he doesn’t have to dodge
around.
Are the “two thousand prominent
citizens” of Atlanta ready to endorse
for Bullock for a job as they did for
Kimball? If so, Bullock, we doubt
not, IS ready lor tfiejub. Where are
the “two thousand prominent citi
zens” that they do not endorse Bul
lock upon his return to Atlanta, and
give him business to the exclusion of
good and true men in that city ?
We dislike to cast any reflection
upon justice, but we feel certain that
Justice will not meet Bullock face to
face in regard to his transgressions ia
the affairs of this State.
The KIRKWOOD MUTUALS.
Kirkwood is a little suburban vil
lage of; Atlanta. It is the seat of a
school of politicians who have band
ed themselves together under the
euphonious title of the Kirkwood
mutual admiration society, for the
purpose of governing the State of
Georgia. They have been decidedly
successful in their efforts. The Kirk
wood mutuals have furuished us with
a United States Senator, a State prin
ter, several figure-heads about the
State capitol, and they are now mov
ing heaven and earth, as it were, to
furnish the State of Georgia with a
Kirkwood Governor. All of this is
well enough if the people of this
old Commonwealth are willing to
concentrate the affairs of the State
into a Kirkwood focus; if they are
willing to look through the Kirk
wood political lens for everything
necesaaay for the State’s welfare in
government, State and national.
For four long and tedious years the
Kirkwood mutuals have had their
videttes picketing all points of the
j State in the interest of their man or
I Governor—the man himself “stump
i ing” the State on the subject of—ag
; riculture. The truth is, they have
| been busy and industrious mutuals,
| leaving no stone unturned to promote
the ends and purposes of the Kirk
wood mutual admiration society.
The first requisite for a man who
wants a prominent political distinct
tion is to secure the signet and seal of
the Kirkwood mutual administration
society and carry along with him the
impirmalur of tho Moguls who dis
pense the leading candidates for pol
itical preferment in this State.
Well, we are free to confess it is an
evidence of moral strength in a small
society of men when they can rule a
whole State. We confess that among
the bonerable members of the Kirk
wood mutual admiration society
there are gentlemen of honor and
distinction in peace as well as war;
but then, you see, they ought not to
assume the whole burdens of the pol
itical affairs of Georgia.
We have on hand a communica
tion addressed “To Husbands,” in
reply to a recent article published in
this paper addressed “To Wives,”
which we are compelled to defer un
til our next issue. The article was
received after our first and fourth
pages were put to press, and as we
have to devote our second and third
pages to editorials, locals and the
news, we cannot insert articles of a
miscellaneous nature ou tho last pa
ges mentioned. In the meantime,
we tell our readers they will have a
good thing next week in the article
addressed “To Husbands.” It is
written by a lady who wfeids a

THE GUBERNATORIAL QUESTION.
For nearly four years a number of
very respectable gentlemen have been
regarded as anxious aspirants for
Governor, Through and by their
friends their claims have been pre
sented and urged throughout the
State with great pertinacity, uutil the
gubernatorial question has become
one of merely a personal issue, and
made by each party without the
slightest regard to principle or Demo
cratic harmony. The object to be at
tained by each aspirant and his
friends has been the mere gratifica
tion of personal ambition—in some
instances merely for the honor the
office confers. When a great and re
sponsible office, Governor of a great
State, is made the football of striving
aspirants, laboring for years to se
cure the boon, it degenerates into a
selfish and mercenary prize for the
shrewest politicians. When the of
fice of Governor becomes one to be
scrambled over as so much spoils to
reward sharp management or to re
quite personal ambition, it sinks into
utter insignificance, and the man of
dignity and ability no longer expects
to be called to fill it, as he cannot
condescend to enter a personal con
test for it.
We wish to see the people rise in
the majesty of their sovereign will
and call a man to the executive chair
who does not seek it, but would fill
it at the bidding of the people in re
sponse to patriotic duty. We want
a man called to the head of our State
administration who will assume the
duties of the office unpledged in any
respect; who will have the inde
pendence to serve the people and the
State without regard to political or
personal obligations to any except
the people for his election. That is
to say, we want a man who will be
the Governor and not the mere servile
distributor of the spoils of office. Can
we hope to elect such a man from
among those who have been so long
in thestrife for the nomination —who,
if nominated, must necessarily be
under obligations to others who have
aided them to power over their com
petitors? These gentlemen may be
ever so clever, but we are fearful if
either is elected, he will have friends
to reward, perhaps, in many cases at
the sacrifice of the public good. It is
human nature to reward those who
aid us in life’s struggles, and the
struggle between the gentlemen so
long aspirants for gubernatorial hon
ors has been a w r ell contested one—so
persistent as to have divided the
Democratic party in Georgia into
merely personal factions.
If we would preserve the Demo
cratic organization and maintain its
integrity and save it from disaffec
tion, we should go outside of a coterie
of aspirants who have so long engag
ed in the gubernatorial joust, and
nominate some good and true man
who has exhibited no inordinate de
sire for gubernatorial honors, and
place Mm in tlie lead by the sponta
neous will of the people. Such a man
would unite and harmonize the
Democratic party and give to the
State a good administration, which,
in fact, is all the people want, and is
what they will vote for, regardless
of merely personal considerations.
The Augusta Constitutionalist says
H. V, Johnson and Charles J Jenkins
stumped the State years ago when
rivals for the Governorship, 11. V
Johnson stumpted New 7 York and
the North w est after ho was nomina
ted for the Vice-Presidency on the
Douglas ticket, and Charles J. Jen
kins when he was the nominee of
4he whig party for Governor; but
neither of them stumped the State
for a nomination of any kind, nor
would they be guilty of such dema
gogocial impropriety. They are both
men of a higher order of intellect and
dignity of character.
Sawyer, of the Rome Courier ,
doesn’t like it because we endorse
Col. Dabney for State Senator. lie
was so suggested, we think, through
the Courier , then by a Rome cor
respondent of the Atlanta Times. So
the “senatorial water” was first offer
ed by Romans and we are not res
ponsible. Sawyer is too quick on the
trigger.
When “honest Jack Jones” tried
to strengthen his bond as treasurer
of the State, he could not do so; but
when Bullock and Blodgett return to
Atlanta after years of absence as ref
ugees from justice they find no diffi
culty in getting their bonds reduced
to the lowest figures and having
them signed without an effort.
The Chronicle and Sentinel says
“Watch office-seekers in primary
meetings and always go the other
way.” We say amen to that. Office
seekers these days are as pestiferous
as Egyptain lice. They are to be
found everywhere to manage poli
tical affairs—in their own interests.
People, beware of them !
The Smith-Avery correspondence
remind us of school boys who dare
eachother to strike, but never make
pass. That correspondence is just
one of those things in which a man
cannot take a decided interest for ei
ther side. There’s never any danger
of loss in a draw game of that sort.
Colonel Jack Jones, late Treasurer
of Georgia, was arrested Tuesday
morning by virtue of an indictment
found against him Monday by the
grand jury of Fulton county, for the
offense of withholding public money.
The amount of bond required was
fixed at SIO,OOO.
Col. C. W. Styles has purchased a
controlling interest in the Atlanta
Commonweath and assumes entire
control of its editorial management.
This little evening paper is a lively
sheet and we welcome Col. Styles
upon his return to journalism after a
short respite.
We don’tsee why we don’t get the
Commomcealth more regularly, and
never until it is a day old. It is a
li\jp paper atid \ye tqget it by
the njofrjiog mhji aTtbV pablicatioD.
Well, Bullock got off just a little
easier than we expected he ivould.
It is about time that he and Blodgett
and Kimball were opening an elegant
wine room for the dispensation of
the hospitality of “other Jays.”
After Bullock, the people of Atlan
ta are looking for Dom Pedro, and
Dora Pedro will find no difficulty in
making a bond if he is called on for
one.
What lias become of Henry Grady?
We begin to want to know some
thing of the horoscope,
State and national.

Till*: EXPRESS,
TT-NDKR the present nia ~‘i ’wmer.i, ;
growing into popular”; as its rap,
increasing circulation fully attest*; and if tbe
present ratio of iocrcasecuiliiines. it v. ill soon
have the largest circulation of any v. . ekiv
paper in the State. Coming to Cartersville
under somewhat adverse circumstances, with
false impressions made in advance of bis
coming, to bis detriment, and rinding the pa
per nearly “run down,” the present proprietor
fee-ls himself under many grateful obligations
to numerous friends for the aid they have
given him in reviving this once popular pa
per. These have given to its circulation an
impetus which it is hoped will make ita power
in this section of Georgia for good—for the
building up of onr material interests
and for the promotion of the cause of true and
undefiled Democracy.
The Exp ress
\\ ill ever be found the true and nnilinchin
friend of the People, the opponent of all
cliques, rings or combinations, if there be anv
such organizations to .1
thwart the popular will, in all political mat
ters. It will be the aim of the editor to re
flect popular sentiment rpon all public ques
tions, when that sentiment is true to free gov
ernment arid public liberty.
The Express,
however, will oppose all attempts to pervert
the true principles of the D a.ocratie party,
and seek to inculcate at all times and under
all circumstances, the great and cardinal
principles which underlie and form the basis
of all free government. Opposed to all inno
vations upon the principles of the Democ
racy,
The Ex pres*
Will be found “now and forever,” a Demo
cratic journal of “the scraightest sect” without
a shadow of turning either to the right or left
believing as we do, that the happiness of the
people, aud the prosperity of this couutry de
pend upon a restoration of the old landmarks
or our lathers—a return to first principles,
alone can retain to ns free government.and an
honest administration ofthe political affairs ol
the country.
Tlae Express
will never omit any occasion to set forth the
great advantages of Uherokee Georgia. Its
aim will be to advance by all means in its
power, the material prosperity of this section
of Georgia, favored as it is, with a climate, the
dnesc in the world, with a soil unsurpassed,
and ti ith agricultural anil mineral resources’
unoqualed—inhabited by an honest add thrifty
people, ietelligcnt and worthy of all prosperi
ty. To develop these sources of we dtli, and to
make Cherokee Georgia the j garden - jmtof
the country will be among the chief eflort- of
this journal.
Tle Express,
therefore, appeals to an honest, and discrimi
nating public for that patronage which shall
place it in our power, to present a good pa
per, creditable to the State in which it is pub
lished and a special pride to the people of Bar
ton county. Rapidly overcoming the false
and infamous, the weak and silly charge that
this journal was to be, or is to lie, or is the or
gan of a ring—an imposition on general intel
ligence—
Tlie Express
will be found in the end a journal that will
not stoop to subserviency in any form—that it
is a free and honest paper that will rest its
prosperity upon its own merits, and will never
seek to build up itself by imploring sympa
thy or by efforts to create false prejudice
against others. If
The Express
cannot win popoular favor upon the gronnd
ol merit, the sooner it becomes extinct the
better it will be lor the popular good. There
foie all who are willing to trust an honest pur
pose and effort to present a respectaUe C ar
nal, true in ita Democracy, true to the peopl
and true to right and justice, are respectfully
solicited to become subscribers to The Cak
teusville Express.
