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 pen, ail'd Wields it wettf 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. New Advertisements. ICE.

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.
