THE EXPRESS.
The EXPRESS is the firm defender and advo

all classes, and the unrelenting opponent of
all rings, cliques or combinations organized to
defeat the popular will in politics or to inj.tre
any clas-sr of eltfz ns m a ter i ally.
Carters ville, June 1, 1876.
To Our Subscribers.
Parties who have not paid their subscriptions
to The Express will greatly favor us with a
remittance. We are in great need of the
money to ca'T on our business. If they can’t
pay all, let them pay a part, as much as they
can.
Those who have given due hills for subscrip
t ions will please come forward and settle.
THE ST. LOUIS CONTENTION.
All true Democrats feel a deep so
licitude in regard to the results of the
National Democratic Convention.
Much depends upon the ticket pre
sented and the platform put forth as
to whether we shall succeed in the
end or not. If the ticket is composed
of good and true Democrats nomi
nated upon a platform of pronounced
and pure Democracy, with an ar
raignment of the Republican admin
istration of the government for its
enormities, its usurpations of consti
tutional liberty, its unblushing cor
ruption and sectional oppression, we
need have no fear of success. But, if
a temporizing policy of expediency
on the line of abandonment of prin
ciple, as in 1872, is promulgated, we
predict disaster, defeat and disgrace.
There is but one question that we
may expect to be a disturbing ele
ment in the convention, and that is
the financial question —one that
should be left an open one with a
simple resolution remitting that sub
ject to the deliberations of an honest
Congress determined to shape the
financial policy of the government in
the interest of the country. Upon
this question, upon the part of either
paity. there is no settled convictions
as to what is best to be done. In this
state of the public mind and in view
of the disturbed, depressed and un
certain condition of the financial sit
uation, this question should not be
attempted to be made an issue on
either side.
In the spirit of patriotism the in
flationists and contract ion ists should
agree to leave the financial question
an open one in the campaign. The
subject is too intricate and delicate to
be made the football of a heated po
litical campaign. This the intelli
gent people of the country know,
and all good citizens of both parties
would be willing to remit it to the
deliberation and action of Congress
to evolve some policy that will re
lieve the country of this great finan
cial distress.
If we had the drafting of the St.
Louis platform wo should appeal to
the better sense of the American peo
ple to leave this whole financial ques
tion out of the approaching campaign.
We believe it would be a strong card
in the Democratic platform, as it
cy are willing to leave the question
to cooler, calmer and more deliberate
Congressional action. No one now
knows exactly what is best to be
done. No one seems to understand
the real causes of the general depres
sion. Some may believe they know,
and some may know, but there has
been no policy suggested which has
taken definite shape sufficiently upon
which to rest an appeal to the people
with any hope of reaching or satisfy
ing their judgment.
The Democracy have it in their
power at St. Louis to arraign the Re
publican party with a catalogue of
crimes upon public liberty, corrup
tion of the government and general
rascality to defeat it at the baliot-box
in November. Never has the De
mocracy of the country since the war
had such an opportunity of winning
a victory upon the right line. If we
are defeated now it will be bv bad
management or the deception of false
leaders, such as carried the party to
shame and disaster in 1872—shame
for an abandonment of principle, and
disastrous because the Democracy as
a whole refused to stultify themselves
by such abandonment.
COL. W. H. DABNEY.
The Rome Courier is inclined to
array The Express in personal hos
tility to Col. Dabney. Rome corres
pondents have suggested his name
for State Senator in the Atlanta
Times, the Cave Spring Enterprise and
The Express at different times.
Believing from these evidences that
he was the choice of at least a portion
of the Democrats of Floyd for that
position, we endorsed it. This we
did conscientiously and freely; but
the Courier, always suspicious and
precipitate in its expressions, was
pleased to attribute to us wrong mo
tives. What we said of Col. Dabney
in that connection we do not retract,
whatever may be the motives attrib
uted to us by the Courier.
We regard Col. Dabney an able
man and an excellent gentleman,
and will heartily support him for auy
position the Democracy may nomi
nate him for, because we know he
would be true to his trust, whether
as State Senator, Congressman or
Governor. But we have other friends
also well qualified for either of these
responsible positions. As long as
the matter is a question of nomina
tion we may differ from the Courier
in our judgment without attributing
toil false motives. When a fair
nomination is made for either of the
offices mentioned there will be no
difference between us,and th eOouriei'
will not be behind us in our devotion
to what is right.
Brother Sawyer might moderate
his expressions often with great ad
vantage to his paper and its in
fluence. If truth cannot be vindi
cated by simple argument, it is
hardly possible that harsh and un
seemly expressions will effect the
end of truth.
The Smith-A very controversy is
bringing both gentletneu into pub
lit: notoriety.
EX-GOV. JOHNSON.
Our brother Styles, of the Atlanta
Commonwealth, indulges in the Follow
ing rather stale argument against 1
the nomination of Mr. Johnson for J
Governor :
The effort to draw ex-Governor Johnson in- j
to the Gubernatorial race, we have good rea
son to believe, will .fail. Governor Johnson
had the honors when the State was in her
palmiest days, and there can be no more glory
for him on that line. Besides, he understands |
the proprieties o! official station too well to;
allow himself dragged into an arena that will
alienate friends and blight his well-earned
laurels. He is a gentleman of the old school, i
and has too much self-respect to hanker after j
flesh pots or to becloud his mellowed popular- ;
ity by consenting to scramble for a place that ;
precedent and good breeding forbid he should |
ever occupy again,
The foregoing is about the only ar
gument yet advanced by those who
do not desire the nomination of Mr.
Johnson. Some of them do say he
is too Qld. It is not proposed to make j
Mr. Johnson Governor again for the
glory it may be to him. The move- 1
ment is not a glorification affair. It
is simply a business or political
movement in the interest of the peo
ple and the State. It is an effort
to place in the executive chair a gen
tleman of transcendent ability and
statesmanship whose record as a Dem
ocrat and executive officer is with
out blemish and fault whose hon
ored name and distinguished record
will give high prestige and renown
to our State government at home and
abroad.
And, then, it is desired to have a
man for Governor who has not
sought it on the principle that ‘-the
office should seek the man and not
man the office,” as is the modern cus
tom. It is also believed, with all
due respect to other aspirants that
the nomination and election of Mr.
Johnson will give more general sat
isfaction to the people than anyother
gentleman' now mentioned in that
connection for thereason that the long
continued and persistent ‘’longing”
for gubernatorial honors upon the
part of other gentlemen has had the
effect of arraying the Democratic
party into merely personal factions,
amounting to a politieial scramble
not at all calculated to promote the
harmony of the party.
It the people should see fit to call
Mr. Johnson to the executive chair
again to guide the old ship of the
State, we cannot understand how
that fact should “becloud his mel
lowed popularity,” nor how “prece
dent and good breeding” can forbid
his accepting a call from the people
to serve them. In view of the fact
that Mr. Johnson neither desires or
seeks the office, his the consent to
serve the people and to labor for
them, it would be the highest act of
patriotism upon his part in recogniz
ing their claims upon his distinguish
ed abilities.
We hope our chivalous brother
Styles will give us better argument
why Mr. Johnson should nut be
made Governor if the people desire
it. W’e can assure our respected
friend that the friends of Mr. John
son have no desire to force him on
lilt; pcupic ttguunni w.w ..... . . ...
resort to no undue means or trashy
to secure his nomination
over the choice of the people.
THE STATE CONVENTION.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee will meet in Atlanta, on
Wednesday next, “for the purpose of
completing the delegation for the
State at large to the National Demo
cratic Convention, and for the trans
action of other important business.”
The “important business” is, of
course, the calling of a State conven
tion for tiie nomination of a candi
date for Governor and the appoint
ment of a Presidential electoral tick
et. The first is of the greatest im
portance ; the latter is of less impor
tance because the nominatiou will
amount to an election. The first is
of the greatest importance as affect
ing the interests of tlie State—the
nomination of a candidate for Gov
ernor who shall unite and harmonize
the Democratic party and to preserve
its solidity.
Until the convention is called the
people will hardly begin to consider
seriously as to their choice for Gov
ernor. Up to the present time the
question has been merely discussed
by the office-seekers, the politicians,
the press and newspaper correspon
dents in favor of different gentle
men who are always expected to
write up their favorites in advance.
In view of these facts, it is to be
hoped the executive committee will
not call the convention earlier than
the latter part of August. That will
give us time to ear\vass the claims of
all aspirants and give the people
time to make up their minds in re
gard to their most vital political in
terests.
Speaking for ourself our mind is
already made up as to the right man
for Governor ; but we are not so sure
as to that of others. We simply want
the people to have time to consider
what they wish ; and hence the con
vention should not be precipitately
called. There is no use for hasty ac
tion, and the executive committee,
if it desires the fullest canvassing of
the claims of different gentlemen,
and, perforce, the greatest harmony
in our ranks, it will notact in a hurry.
Give the people time to reflect se
riously and to act wisely and judi
ciously in this matter, let whoever
may be nominated after full time for
the people to make up their mind.
We have our choice for Governor,
but we shall scorn to have him
forced as the nominee, were it in our
power to do so, against the will of
the majority of the party. Hence,
we desire that the people sliould
have the fullest time allowed them
for calm and dispassionate consider
ation. Therefore, we are in favor of
having the convention called not ear
lier than the latter part of August.
Do you see that little cloud no big
ger than a man’s hand? Well, it is
the stately form of H. V. J. in the
far distance looming up as a tornado
of popular expression. Doa’t you
hear the dbluut thunder?
THE CONSTITUTION—GOV. SMITH—
THE RADICALS.
In the C onititution of Sunday last
there is a labored article in defence of
Gov. Smith. The Governor and the
Constitution each assert that a State
bond is equivalent to an Executive
warrant on the Treasury of the Slate.
Does not each knoic this statement to
be untrue? If a bond is equivalent
to an Executive warrant, and can
be legally paid without a warrant,
why is a warrant necessary, and why
did the Governor issue one ? Section
76 of the Code declares: “All pay
ments from the Treasury , unless other
wise provided, shall be made upon
the warrant of the Governor, and he
may withhold his approval on any
account audited ami certified by the
Comptroller General. The warrant
shall always specify on what appro
priation or fund it is drawn,” wheth
er to pay interest on public debt, or
bonds or anything else.
In paragraph 1, section 92, of the
Code, it is declared that the State
Treasurer shall keep the public
money “and pay out the same, only
upon the warrants of the Governor,
when countersigned by the Comp
troller General, except the drafts of
the President of the Senate and
Speaker of the House of Representa
tives, tor the sums due the members
and officers of their respective bod
ies.”
In paragraph 11 of the same section
of the Code it is declared that “when
he (the Treasurer) pays the interest
or principal of the State debt upon a
warrant issued in his favor, he shall
deposit in the Executive office coupbns
or bonds, on which the payments are
made, there to be marked ‘paid’ and
filed away.”
These provisions of law are plain
and settles beyond doubt that there
must be a warrant for all money le _
gaily paid from the Treasury of the
State. And it is cleai that before the
Governor can issue a warrant for the
payment of interest or principal of
the State debt the coupons or bonds
must bo deposited in the Executive
office. The Governor, therefore,
knew when he issued his warrant for
the payment of bonds, or interest
thereon, what particular bonds or cou
pons he was paying. And he knew,
or ought to have known, all about
the bonds he received and filed and
marked “paid.” But with the law
before him he says a bond is equiva
lent to a warrant and the Constitution
“as in duty bound,” repeats the false
assertion. It would be attributing
the grossest ignorance to each to say
that they did not know better.
But the Constitution, as if in utter
desperation in its defence of the Gov
ernor, passes over the evidence fur
nished by Col. Avery intended to
show the Governor’s knowledge of
the bonds, by simply saying it
comes trom Bullock, Conley & Cos.,
without denying one word of its truth.
This is about equal to a confession of
guilt. Cannot Gov. Smith well and
truly say: “Save me from my
friends.”
SMITH AND AVERY.
The Smith-Avery correspondence
is working to a right smart ferment.
It grows more interesting as it pro
gresses. In the first place Gov.
Smith, if lie felt aggrieved by the
New York Herald letter, should have
applied to the editor of that paper
for the information he desired of Col.
Avery. That letter we did not en
dorse; but Gov. Smith did not
strengthen himself by bouncing
Avery as he did.
But the correspondence has given
Avery a splendid chance to hold up
Gov. Smith in a very unenviable
light in regard to the bond question.
llow His Excellency will reply to
Avery’s last broadside we have yet
lo see. As the weather grows hotter
the contest between the two gentle
men will wax warmer—for we do not
see how the Governor, having opened
the correspondence, can fail to send
out a rejoinder to Avery’s “last.”
But the sudden manner in which
Avery discovered the Governor’s
short-comings in regard to the bond
question after his “Populus” letter
is a problem a little inexplicable, and
excites considerable comment.
But this is a controversy in which
The Express feels little or no in
terest, and we can’t undertake to fill
up our space with its details unless
we can elucidate therefrom some
thing for the benefit of the State.
We have this to say: We have
made no personal attacks upon any
of the anxious aspirants for Govern
or in our advocacy of Hon. IT. V.
Johnson. They are all clever gen
tlemen, and we intend to support
cordially who ever is fairly and
squarely nominated. We like the
sedate and dignified Colquitt, the
jolly and good humored Hardeman,
the pious and clever James, and the
luscious and good humored Gartreil,
but we just prefer, for the present,
to have the able and distinguished
statesman, Johnson, for our next
Governor.
Public sentiment in this county is
decidedly in favor of Hon. H. V.
Johnson for Governor. We make
this statement from personal knowl
edge and information, the truthful
ness of which any one can learn by
going among our people. When
“the papers’’ state that Cherokee
Georgia is for “any other man” they
will please except Bartow. If the
Atlanta Constitution wants a truthful
paragraph on the campaign in next
Sunday’s issue, let the editor clip this
and credit it to The Express.
The obsequious manner in which
Bullock has been received, welcomed
and “interviewed” in Atlanta is sim
ply disgusting to all true Georgians,
and that, too, by loyal (?) Democrats.
Old Judge Lawson Black, hasn’t
seen Bullock yet—for when he was
asked if he had called upon his ex
cellency, the grim old Republican re
plied, “No, by thunder, the Demo
crats are so thick about him 1 can’t'
gbt a chance!”
THE LOCAL TAPER.
The Savannah News says “ some
of the leading citizens desire to know
what Mr. E-till meant by saying
that the Georgia newspapers were
ahead of the towns in which they are
published.” The News, thereupon,
in a very truthful and graphic way,
proeeeus to elucidate as follows:
•‘A newspaper makes a town. A place with
out a newspaper is no town at all. It may
boast of a collection of houses and a number of
inhabitants, but until it has its newspaper it
remains stagnant. A good weekly newspaper
is a commercial agent, drummer architect,
builder and hod-carrier all in one.”
The Nevs might have elaborated
extensively and not said much more
as to what a local paper really is.
While it is the “hod-carrier” for the
community in which it is published,
there is no interest more important
to the welfare- and prosperity of a
town than a 'good local paper—one
that stands upon the watchtower to
look after the public good. Indeed,
in a certain sense the local paper is
the property of the town though the
citizens may not control it. While
it is private property, it is an enter
prise every citizen should feel an in
terest in sustaining to the extent of
his ability. It is his defender and
the advocate of his interest, and the
enterprise of a town is judged by its
advertising columns.
Every town of any pretensions
wants a newspaper, and wiould be
willing to sustain it. A newspaper
cannot live without patronage, and
cannot thrive and be effective for the
common good if that patronage is
stinted and given grudgingly. An
editor may write up his town week
after week and extol it to the skies;
he may tell his readers at a distance
of the liberal enterprise of its citizens
until doomsday: he may do all these
things, but unless his advertising col
umns show the business life of its
merchants and the tradesmen, that
paper’s influence cannot be made
available. As we have said the ad
vertising columns of a local paper is
the true index of the business spirit
of the town. Our remarks are only
applicable when the local paper is a
good one and worthy of the fostering
patronage of the community.
When a town has a good local paper
that is fairly and liberally sustained
by the business of the town it may
always be set down that such a town
will outstrip its neighbors in the race
of progress if they are not equally
•alive to the support of its local press.
With a good paper and live and
thrifty business men no town can
long remain in obscurity. It will
rise in spite of hard times and pros
per even though all around may be
financially pressed.
Every town should stand to its lo
cal press if it lias a good one, let the
times be ever so stringent—if not
liberally, then to the extent of giving
it a living that it may survive to be
come a champion indeed when times
are better. No interest suffers from
neglect more disastrously to the in
terests of n t Xj-tm than the local paper.
The Montgomery (Ala.) Journal
says Blodgett “will make some start
ling exposures of Democratic corrup
tion when his case is tried.” If his
exposures bo truthful, we hope he
will have the nerve to make a clean
breast and show who were the Dem
ocratic accomplices of the Bullock
regime. By the eternal! the people
ought to know, for it may explain
some mysterious proceedings in At
lanta in connection with the return of
Bullock and Blodgett to that city.
There is an impression prevalent
that Gen. Colquitt is being run for
Governor with or by the Smith in
fluence, and it is stated that if he is
so nominated, or there is any suspi
cion that he will be so put forward,
there will be an independent candi
date for Governor. If Colquitt is
fairly nominated he will be most cor
dially supported. This item is given
for what it is worth.
There are about one hundred and
twenty-five papers published in tiro
State. Of that number, we are in
formed, about thirty have expressed
their preference for Governor, a ma
jority of them for Colquitt. But
then, you see, that number does not
carry the Democratic [tarty in the
legs of its “old britches.”
Dr. Ben. Willingham, of Lexing
ton, has a plumbago mine; two or
three Macon Willinghams are inter
ested in a splendid copper mine, and
here we are—running a country news
paper as independently as a wood
sawyer.
Well, we have seen for the first
! time a copy of the Atlanta Hepubli
| can. The most remarkable feature
! about it i$ that “Mr, J. Norcross is at
i present assisting in editing this pa
i per.” The K. K.’s had better hide
out in the bushes.
The Augusta Constitutionalist
\ thinks H. V. Johnson too old to be
Governor. Well, we can only reply
by saying that he is too honest to pay
for “quoted reading matter.” What
in the devil is the matter with the
Const i. ?
Henry W. Grady has organized a
new paper in Atlanta which he calls
the Sunday Telegram. We have not
I seen a copy of it as Grady has not
i sent us one. We are are told that it
is a lively sheet after Grady’s own
style.
We don’t care whether it is old
Bill Allen, Bayard, Eaton or any
other good and true Democrat, so it
isn’t on the line of “the Greeley phil
osophy.”
The Chonide and Senitnel says H.
V. Johnson “shall have a fair show
ing in Richmond county.” You
bet, he will get it in Bartow county.
We are not for Tilden, or “any
other man” who seeks to impose
himself on popular favor by paying
for “quoted reading matter.”
There is no sight more ravishing to
the vision than to see a pretty wo
man attired iu a beautiful calico tied
bhek.
IJIXGS, CLIQUES, Si C.
The Atlanta Commonwealth, in a
recent issue contained the following :
Brother Willingham, of The CaRTERSVILLB
Express, continues his traditional ami cease
less war upon “rings, cliques ami combina
tions,’' and blnshingly boasts that his “reward
is honest poverty.” All right, Charley, but
what’s the use of tilt with a myth ? dou may
saw the air with your keen blade till dooms
day lor a Colqnltt-Smith “ring,” but you 11
never dull its edge. The thing does not exists.
Col Styles will hardly deny there
have beei “rings, cliques and
combinations;” and if there have
been, why should there not be now?
In our great fight to redeem Georgia
from Radical rule the Democracy
were thoroughly united and acted
harmoniously together. Upon the
downfall of Radicalism, men of ques
tionable political affiliations and even
Radicals came to the Democratic
party until now btrice-seekers in our
ranks have none to contend against
except each other. As evidence, look
at the numerous aspirants for office
all over the State and the number
less expectants for Gubernatorial ap
pointments. Hence, we say the Dem
ocracy is more liable to be troubled
with “rings, cliques and combina-
tions” than it was a few years ago
These we believe to exist. If we
are wrong, we regret it. We are cer
tain they existed two years ago, and
have no reason to believe that they
do not now. In this belief we are not
alone by any means.
A correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution nominates C. 11. Olm
stead for Governor. Now, tell us
who is Olinstead.
The “two thousand prominent
citizens” of Atlanta have not yet de
cided to give Bullock and Blodgett a
public reception.
The Governor of a great State may
let himself down by replying to
every newspaper scribbler.
