J. M. ELLXOXT, Gta’l Sup’t
To Husbands,
To the Editor of The Express:
Your paper of 11th May gives us
an interesting homily to a class of
beings called wives. The disserta
tion may be very refreshing to one
who has never heard the argument.
But la ! me, what wife in our land
is not familiar with “these apples of
gold in pictures of silver.” Why re
sort to newspapers to teach us humil
ity and amiability lessons we begin
to learn ere we have crossed the
thresh hold of matrimony.
Allow me to notice in a very kind
way some of the most striking
points of this treatise. “Make his
habitation alluring and uelightful.”
I should think thifi depends much on
her surroundings. She, too is human
and liable to all the weaknesses that
humanity imposes. Care, sorrow,
affection, neglect, each leaves its im
press on her pliable nature. Hus
band, thou art the sculptor possessing
the skill and tact to make her who
forsakes all to follow you a blessing
or its opposite. “When Igo out on
the busy arena, and see so much to
blame and censure in my counterpart
man, I turn away in disgust, expect
ing to find a “sanctuary of repose at
home—shutting out the calamities of
life.” This is well enough—but in
“shutting out the calamities” do you
shut out exacting impatience? Have
you any mercy on your poor, frail
wife, toiling from sun to sun—striv
ing to make you comfortable, until
siie sinks into despair and finally
ceases to strive because she knows
the struggle is in vain.
“The little rift within the lute,
That by and by will make the music mute,
And ever widening slowly silence a’l.”
“If lie be peevish make allowances
for human nature.” It is a poor rule
that won’t work both ways. The
writer (who I think must be some
fastidious bachelor) seems to think
that woman has no right to screen
herself behind this canopy of conve
meuee. I dare say many a scamp
perpetrates crime thinking that he
will dodge behind human nature,
or lunacy for protection. “By your
sweetness and gentleness induce him
to think (though he may not have
the manliness to tell you so) this wo
man is indeed a comfort to me.” I
affirm if one has a good thought or
idea and conceals it in his own bos
om for fear others may derive benefit
from it is meaner than a miser who
clutches his gold ; for kind words
are above the price of rubies.
And if I am an obedient, servile
wife loving to do the behests of my
lord, then why does he simply think
I do my duty—ever leaving me in
doubt as to "my ability to please.
These “silent joys” I don’t appreci
ate, even if Talleyrand did pronounce
them best. As the heart pants for
the water brooks even so, woman’s
happiness depends on the approving
smile and tender expressions that
first won her young heart to wife
hood.” If ail the courtesys and kind
solicitude for her comfort is with
drawn after marriage, then she feels
disappointed and it will take years
to overcome its depressing etFects
Now is it not extreme arrogance to
dictate what she ought to be without
even hinting that man has any duty
to perform, but to cut up generally
and come home to Paradise? \es,
expects to find nothing but peace and
joy ever forgetting that our dear old
mother Eve failed with her beauty
and wisdom (so dearly bought) to
please Adam and make Paradise a
“sanctuary of repose.” He who
seeks perfection in man or woman
must go beyond this terrestrial sphere.
“Invariably adorn yourself with del
icacy and refinement.” I presume
this refers to mental adornment.
“Like begets like.” If our husbands
are mentally endowed, refined and
polished in their manners, then the
wife will be attracted into a corres
ponding behavior. “Let your hus
band suppose you think him a good
husband and it will be a strongstim
ulus to his being so.” This concep
tion is erroneous, for how can such a
hypocritical proceeding make a man
any better? I would detest a wo
man who in the lace ot reason and ;
good sense, would try to cover up
my faults, that she knew would lead
me to ruin if not eradicated. Uul
tivate constancy, We.” “ Bhysieian
heal thyself.” Show mo one faithless
inconstant woman and I will show
vou a thousand of the opposite sex.
‘ “Never look gloomy.” What if
vour weary limbs ache, your head
throbs with pain, and your heart is
bleeding at every pore? Smother it
ail and meet me with smiles—or 1
will seek those smiles and cheerful
ness elsewhere that I fail to find at
home.” Miserable subterfuge—many
who have sweet, affectionate wives—
soon think home joys monotonous
and without any excuse seek the
smiles of the gay, the deceitful, the
vicious. ‘‘ln the article of dress
study your husband’s taste.’ Now,
everybody knows (even Ethiopians)
that many men are wholly deficient
in taste and it would be torture to
me to don the particolored vestments
that some men would pronounce “re
chrehe.” Yes “excellent cookery
is indeed an accomplishment in these
degenerate times, when husbands j
must be fed well and regularly three
times a day, and some of them have
feasted so highly they have fallen vic
tims to dyspepsia, nervous debility
and a thousand other ailments too
numerous to mention, Do cease
this uncharitable propensity you
have of finding fault with a poor,
overworked class who I think do
remarkably well, considering then
provocations. I have many faults
and the knowledge of my imperfec
tions is painful enough without hav
ing them paraded before the pub
lic! Girls will soou learn that
they must strive to be perfect if they
would keep the affections of their
husbands. But as 1 have discussed
the subject in great kindness, I hope
the “Bachelor” will live to see that
he is selfish and exacting aud if he
expects perfection here, then he will
seek until his head is gray (or which
is worse bald) and not find amate.
Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, ot Mississip
pi, has been interviewed by a corres
pondent of the Baltimore Gazette
with the following result: “He said
he could not foretell who would be
the nominee of the St. Louis conven
tion, and that a number of worthy
-’•entlemen were mentioned for the
nomination. He bad not noticed
that the New York conference bad
given Tilden a quasi endorsement.
He had thougt that Governor Tilden
as weil as others named, would make
acceptable candidates. Bayard woula
make a better candidate* and be freer
of entangling alliances than a candi
date from a larger State, but he
could understand how, hailing from
! a small State, it might injure his
chances in the convention. But it
might be said that while Bayard was
from a small Stat, he had the nation
for bis constituency.”
The Southern Life Insurance Cos.
An Account Called for What has become
of the People’s Monies.
To the Editor of the Express :
It is the duty of all men acting for
the public in a fiduciary capacity to
render an account of their steward
ship when called upon, and unless
they do, the public will naturally sus
pect something is wrong. How
much more does it become them to
render an account of that steward
ship when they announce to the
world that they have failed and that
for some cause those who trusted and
confided in them must be losers.
The Southern Life Insurance Com
pany Mas recommended by its offi
cers in the Georgia department for
many years as one of the very best
and soundest institutions of the kind
to be found in the whole country, and
upon the faith of that recommenda
tion the people of Georgia invested of
their hard earnings, thousandsof dol
lars. It now turns out that the con
cern is and has always been worthless
and the representations of its officers
therefore false.
This needs explanation and the
people who have been wronged de
mand it as a right. The people of
Georgia demand an account of the
stewardship of those officets at whose
insiance they have lost thousands.
If this institution was not sound
and solvent why did its officers fail
to notify the people? If they knew
its condition and still induced our
people to take policies and invest
their monies in such a worthless in
solvent concern are they not guilty
of a great outrage? And have they
not forever forfeited the confidence of
the people.
If they, as officers and managers of
this concern were ignorant of its true
condition at the time they were mak
ing these representations are they not
equally culpable?
Now we most respectfully call upon
Generals Gordon and Colquitt, the
President and Vice President of this
institution to make a full showing
and tell what became of the hard
earned thousands that have been
taken from the people?
One of two things is certain. The
representations of the officers of this
institution relative to its merits were
totally false and it was simply a trap
laid to catch the unsuspecting farmer,
or eise the money paid in has been
misapplied and devoted to other
channels than its legitimate one. If
the representations M’ere false and
ihe institutions had no merit we de
sire to know it. If the money has
been misapplied we desire that the
perpetrators of this outrage shall
meet their just reward.
Let them give the whole history of
this concern as well for the enlight
enment of the losing class as for the
cleansing of their own skirts, if they
be blameless from the abloquy that
will necessarily attach to them in the
event of their failure to make a sat
isfactory explanation. How much
did they each receive annually from
the monies of this concern, and how
much was paid to other employees
and agents. They promised in a card
to protect the policy holders. We
want to know when thuy will fulfill
their promises? We want to know
if the concern is in bankruptcy and
how much if anything will be paid
to the policy holders,
We earnestly desire, Mr. Editor,
that these gentlemen (Gordon and
Colquitt) will answer the above, for
we are convinced that if tiiese ques
tions remain unanswered it will
prove fatal to both. The people will
not readily honor those by whom
they believe themselves to have been
wronged and misled.
Very respectfully,
One of the People.
The Atlanta reporter of the New
York Herald telegraped to that pa
per speh matters about the return of
Bullock as led the Herald to say
tint “the people of Atlanta seem to
have confidence in his ability to prove
that be is innocent of the offences
with which he is charged, and it is
said that he could have secured bail
to the amount of a million of dollars.”
That statement we believe to'be un
true. If the people of Atlanta have
any such “confidence” they have
signally failed to manifest it. The
reporter of a New York paper must
of course cater to the ideas of his
patrons, but that is no reason why a
whole community should be placed
in a false attitude to serve his pur
pose. The people of Atlanta “have
confidence” only that in our courts
justice in full measure will be award
ed to Bullock.— Atlanta Constitution.
According to the Denver (Col.)
News, Brigham Young’s plan of
transferring the Mormons from
Utah to New Mexico is very likely
to be carried opt. The News says
that some weeks ago an agent of Mr.
Young arrived in Denver to ari-ange
with the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad company for the transpor
| tation of about five hundred persons
who are expected to arrive from Eu
rope next September. The agent
admitted that Mr. Young intended
!to move Ifis followers into $ new
field, and intimated that the region
selected embraced parts of New Mex
ico and Arizona. Since the dis
closure of the scheme in the newspa
pers the agent has written to the
railroad authorities that the project
is to be abandoned for the present.
llou. W. D. Washburne, brother
of Minister Washburne, recently re
turned from a seven months residence
in Europe, says all the Americans
abroad, save those who “have left
their country tor their country’s
good,” are humiliated by the politi
cal revelations of the past few
months, and are heartily in sympa
thy with the reform movement.
They should prove their sincerity by
returning this fall and voting the
Democratic ticket. Jt is only in that
way they can aid true reform. There
is no such thing as reform within the
Radical party. You can’t make a
silk purse out of a sqw’s ear,
Brigham Young sees the folly and
danger of having too many wives,
now. The other week he was seized
with a severe cold, and each of his
forty-two wives compelled him to
try a remedy of her o\yu preparation,
and no two of them were alike.
Twenty-four Mrs. Youngs forced him
to swallow herb teas and pills and
bitters, and the other eighteen
slapped blisters, plasters and hot pie
plates on his body, where they could
do the most good, until he even
wished he were dead—Rad nearly
! had his wish.
Bill Allen lias much to answer for,
but nothing to equal the responsibil
ity he assumed in making so many
hard money Democrats stand around
the Cincinnati bar-rooms last night
calling on their patron Saint “Helen
. Biases.”— MrooMynn Argus.
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 1, IS7G.
E, B. BULLOCK.
A Free Conversation With the Returned
Ex-Governor.
Thinking that sufficient time had
elapsed since the return of Ex-Gov.
Bullock for ali feelings of chagrin
and trouble to have abated, and that
I he might now feel readier to speak of
his personal affairs, a reporter of the
Constitution yesterday sent his card
up to room 13 of the Kimball House,
to seek an interview with the occu
pant.
At the moment he was engaged
■ with his counsel, Gen. L. J. Gartrell,
but in a few minutes we were re
quested to Malk up. Entering, we
found “the great bonded” sitting in
an easy chair, talking M T ith a friend.
He received us affably and excused
himself to the visitor. Removing j
nearer he entered without reserve
into conversation.
HIS APPEARANCE
was that of ease and unconcern at
the passing events. Now, that he
was again in Georgia, free from the
present detentions of the law by
friends, and able to go and come at
will, he seemed to be restored to his
former self and to inwardly and out
wardly enjoy the situation. He is
constantly 7 receiving the calls of
friends and acquaintances, with but
little difference between the mem
bers of those ranked with the two
political parties. He daily prome
nades the streets in company with
Gov. Conley 7 or some other of his
closest or political friends. Upon
these excursions a pied he usually
walks under an umbrella, carrying a
nosegay and with something of the
rear-back in the carriage of his
person.
Ilis trunk arrived from Albion,
N. Y., on Friday, having been pack
ed and sent forward to reach him
here by the next train after fiis arri
val. He dresses neatly in greyish
pants, black alpaca sack coat and
wears a high crown black hat. His
whiskers are greyer than when he
left Georgia and are worn with the
English chin-chop out of the centre.
THE INTERVIEW.
Not yet certain but that we were
about to experience a rebuff, by a re
fusal to be questioned, we threw out
a feeler:
Reporter—Well, Governor, I have
called to have a quiet talk with you
about yourself and your affairs, if
you feel so disposed, and would be
glad to give through the columns of
the Constitution whatever you might
permit.
Gov. Bullock—Rather an inter
view, I presume. While I would
prefer not to say anything at all for
publication, yet if the Constitution
desires to give up any space to my
views or expressions I shall take
pleasure in talking to you.
Reporter—What the Constitution
desires is simply to gratify the pub-!
lie curiosity about your feelings, and
to hear whatever you may deem it
M’>se or prudent to say. We wish to
give it as news simply and you can
speak to suit your own inclination.
HE WANTS IT UNDERSTOOD.
Gov. B.—Well, sir, there is one
thing I would much iike the people
to know, and that is this: That the
indictments to answer which I am
fiere, are no new things. They ar*-
the same old indictments which have j
been hanging uplOesincel left, and
had to be hunted for a half a day yes
terday before they could be found.
They contain only the old charges
preferred against me at all. Some
persons, I apprehend, will have the
idea that there has lately arisen a
new necessity for my return; but
this is not so, and I would liae that
fact understood.
ALWAYS READY.
Reporter—You are ready to answer
those charges, are you?
Gov. B.—Oh, yes, quite so, when
ever my attorneys agree. I have al
ways been ready and willing to meet
these accusations. There is nothing
in them when they come to be in
vestigated. They were lound at the
instance of the legislative commit
tees and were doubtless believed all
right then.
Reporter—When will you seek to
have these cases brought up for tril ?
Gov. B.— About that I oannot speak
just now. That matter is wholly in
the hands of the attorneys, and while
I know what they will do probably,
I should like not to say anything
about that now.
Reporter—Who are your attorneys,
Governor ?
Gov. B.—Gen. Gartrell has been
niv attorney ever since I left the
State, and is now. He will have
fiis partners with him, I suppose.
Then Judge McCay will be of
counsel too.
Reporter—Rumor says that Judge
Lochrane has been telegraphed for,
to return and assist in representing
you?
Gov. B.—l received a telegram
from him—he was at Louisville —
tendering his services. That showed
that he was “true blue,” you know,
and I feel very grateful to him.
Judge MeCay and Judge Hopkins
also offered, and I am equally grate
ful to them.
NO TEARS ABOUT RETURNING.
Reporter—Did you have any fears
about coming back to Georgia? That
is, did you apprehend that you would
have any considerable trouble?
Gov. *B.— Oh, no, none at all.
There has been no time within the
past two and a half years that I
would have hesitated to come here
had I been informed that it was nec
essary to have my presence. If the
Governor had have written for me
to come I should have clone so.
Reporter —Why did you not come
then, Governor.
Gov. B.—Well, there are several
reasons, mostly of a personal nature,
which did not urge mo to come un
bidden. Yet I was always ready to
come whenever it was made known
to me that my presence was necessa
ry to secure the ends of justice, or
would not be embarrassing to the ad
ministration ?
COMING BACK TO GEORGIA.
Reporter—Are you coming back to
Georgia to stay ?
Gov. B.—Well, I am here.
Reporter—But I mean are you
thinking of making this your home ?
Goy. B.—l cannot answer that just
now. Albion is my old home, the
plac* of my birth and whexe my
father lives. Both my father and
mother are aged people, and my
brother and myself are the only chil
dren. Still they are social reasons.
I have been in Georgia since early
manhood and for years before the
war was in charge of large corporate
interests in this State. All my inter
est peeuniariy and otherwise in bus
iness are here, and I am greatly at
tached to the State. Our little daugh
ter who has gone before us is buried
on my lot in Augusta, and my wife
nor I have ever found any place to
which I would like to remove her re
mains.
ABOUT THE BOND.
Reporter You had no trouble
about your bond ?
Gov. B—No, Sir. I have been
highly gratified at and feel more
deeply than anything in all my past
experience the good will and
kindness with which I have been
received by the people. They
have treated me with all the courtesy
and consideration that I could ask.
* Col. Alexander promptly tendered
himself vv-ith his associates as securi
| ty and as soon as Sheriff Perkerson
sakl he was satisfied the matter was
atari end upon that point. From
what I have learned since I have
no doubt if the matter had remained
opened a feu 1 hours there Mould
have been, if necessary, two pages
of names attached to the paper.
Reporter—You M 7 ere relieved then
of any trouble on that score?
lov. B.—Yes, sir, quite to my
gratification. Col. Alexander, it
seems, and he said afterwards, had
felt very kindly towards me for my
action in a case that was made against
him soon after he leased the convicts.
I treated him with all courtesy and
protected him from wrong as much
as I could in that affair, and he seems
not to have forgotten it. Such things
go a long M 7 ay to restore man’s faith
in human nature.
ABOUT TIIE NEWSPAPERS.
Reporter —Have you attempted to
ascertain how the public pulse is
upon the occasion of your presence
here.
Gov. B.—Well, sir, there are a
great many persons in the State who
are my friends, I know, and wno,
outside of politics, believe in my per
sonal integrity. I believe they are
generally satisfied with the turn of
affairs. 1 have seen the newspapers
which have arrived since the dis
patched went out from here and I
see nothing in them that I could take
exceptions to in any way. One of
them, however, says I am charged
with all the crimes known to the
laws of Georgia, but I suppose that is
the exbuberanee of too much spirits.
Reporter—Have you kept your
self posied on Georgia affairs since
you left ?
Gov. B.—Yes, sir, I have had the
papers of the leading cities and towns
sent to me every day and have
watched the progress ot affairs quite
closely. Besides 1 have many friends
among the railroad interests of the
State and in business and kept up
my knowledge of them in that way.
HIS SUDDEN EXIT.
Reporter—ls there anything in ad
dition to what you stated in your let
ter at the the time that you would
say about your departure from Geor
gia ?
Gov. B—Nothing that would be of
interest to the people, I imagine.
There was more of personal prefer
ence in that movement than political
significance or fear for my person or
liberty, Ido not wish to be quoted
any further than this.
Reporter—You have encountered
no signs of “the bloody shirt” since
you reached here this time, have
you ?
Gov B.—(Laughing) Oh no! I
will be a witness against 4he bloody
shirt at any time and anywhere. All
t hat sort of thing is now of the pa#t
outireiy. Gov. smith, in this matter
has tally complied with every
demand of the law and his official
duty and arranged the matter as to
my personel trouble as satisfactorily
as he could, or 1 could wish.
Reporter—Governor, there is a deal
of talk about your ability to make
damaging revelations implicating
“prominent democrats” in matters
not generally believed to be “square”
during your administration. How
is that?
Gov. B—l take it that those refer
ences are to applications for offices
made to me by Democrats. There
were a number of Democrats ap
pointed to office by me. I was cursed
and damned time and again and im
measurably by Republicans for doing
so. But these were personal matters
and I am not given to betraying con
fidence; and the public will never
have the gratification of reading those
letters or knowing their contents,
All my official acts are of the State
and I am ready to strnd by them, but
my private correspondence is not
there and I am pretty sure tt will re
main unknown by the public.
Reporter —Do you know anything
that would implicate any of those
gentlemen in wrong doing?
Gov. B—l know nothing of any
fraud or corruption, at all, during the
time, and of those gentlemen to whom
you refer, I know of nothing j s
not to their honor credit. I have
since 0 f many things that I
didn’t dream of at the time and have
been astonished at some develop
ments made, but when the men were
in office under my administration I
had no idea of the possibility that
they were not all right. Many of
those democrats who applied to me
have since held and are holding high
places, making good officers, and
they would have made good officers
had I appointed them.
Reporter—To turn to another sub
ject what do you think of the Presi
dential canvass?
About that Ido not know that I
should speak at all. I could only say
what 1 personally think and that
would have no significance.
Reporter—lt would be worth some
thing in view of your surroundings
and geographical location up North.
Gov. B.—Well I can say to you
what I have said to others there,
that I believe if the Democrats will
nominate an honest pure, northern
democrat, untainted by the suspicion
of rag-money ideas or “copper-head”
sentiments a man in whomtheNorth
can have entire confidence that he
will not be led about by the nose by
the Southern extremists, and yet one
whom the South could support with
out hesitation—in that case, I believe
they could carry the State of New
York and elect the President. I a.so
think that it would be a good thing
for the country if this could be ac
complished. It would unite the peo
ple in support of the administration
and restore peace and quiet as well
as solve much of the race-problem of
the present day.
Reporter—Who do you think could
do this? What man would you
think best of as such a candidate?
Gov. B —l do not desire to particu
larize, butl will say that if the De
mocracy take up such men as Sammy
Tilden, Horatio Seymour and others
of that class, they will not succeed.
Sanford E. Church, of New York,
who is Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, was a patriot as the term is
understood north, and was a live ru
ral war democrat, is such a man. He
has the confidence of the masses and
would carry New York by a large
vote. Gov. English, of Connecticut,
is another of the same prominence,
and Thurman, but that he has been
before the country so long, would be
another.
Reporter—Who of the Republicans
do you thiuk has the best chances of
success?
Gov. B—Upon that I am silent, 1
do not desire to express any opinion
of individuals in that matter.
Reporter—What party do you be
long to Governor?
Gov. ll—(with a laugh.) I belong
to the Bullock party ! Really, how
ever, I have not voted since I left
here in any election. I have always
considered Georgia as my home, and
never relinquished my citizenship
here. Some of my friends have urged
me to accept a federal position, but I
have refused to do so while I knew I
could have had it, did I desire. 1
knew that by economy I could live
from my own resources, and 1 have
done so. I have, since leaving here
lived at one-fourth the expense I
ever found myself able to do before,
even in Augusta.
Gov. Bullock talked freely upon
other matters, but of which he de
sired no mention made in the papers
and seemed to enjoy the opportuni
ties of unrestrained conversation. At
the termination of the interview th
reporter made a how and passed out
to make room for others who M’ere
awaiting an opportunitv to pay their
respects.
