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. Special Notices.
