Having heard a rumor that ex j Governor Bullock was prepairng an j address to the people of Georgia, our reporter called on him at the Kimball House to inquire as to the truth of the rumor. r lhe ex-Governor replied j that he Had not contemplated such 1 an address and did not intend to do I so, and that he was at a loss to know how the rumor originated. He had \\ ritten a private letter of some length in answer to one address to him by a friend, and as a copy of his reply had been read to some of his friends here, he supposed that fact must have occasioned the rumor. The reporter solicited a copy of the letter for publication, which was granted, and we lay it before our readers: Atlanta Ga., May 13, IS7G. My Dear Colonel: I am in receipt of your kind letter, tor which please accept my kindest thanks. With your confidence in the cor rectness of my action in connection wdh the particular official act which, four years ago, the Legisla tive Committees took exceptions to it is not strange that you express surprise and indignation at the meas ures which have been lately taken. Lut, my good friend, let me assure you that while His Excellency, Gov. bmith, has taken all the formal steps prescribed by the laws of the land tor placing within the jurisdiction or t.ie courts one who is charged with violation of the stautes, I have been treated with consideration, kindness and courtesy, that has been very gratifying to myself and agreeable to my personal and political friends. Of course every man must be held as innocent until by the dicison of ms peers he is proved to have been guiity, and this courteous treatment is no more than would be due and extended to any other person in sim ilar circumstances. Under the ex citement engendered by poliiicial differences and heated contests, how ever we have nut always heretofore been cool enough to execute that kindly forbearance which is now so universal in this community. I note your inquiry as "to what new' thing has been brought up now. A respectful regard for th e proprie ties of my position would of course prevent my arguing here the ques tions involved, or presenting any ev idence to meet the charges. But I imagine there can be no improprie ty in my saying to you that the in dictments are for “larceny after trust delegated,” and for “conspiracy to cheat aud swindle the State.” These bills were found four years ago as the result of the expaete investigations of several committees of the Legislature then in session, which thoroughly examined into every act of my ad ministration. This investigation oc curred at a time when the -almost universal public sentiment seemed to expect and demand that evidence of otu F .o,iA.,u frauds and robberies should be discovered and disclosed. There has been no new’ charge made against me’of which I have been ad vised. The bail in these two cases w 7 as fixed at thirteen thousand dol lars, .and, although no one outside of the Executive Dc part men tjwas ex pecting my arrival in Atlanta, with in two hours after the amount was named it w’as given by the bond of gentlemen w ho are said to be worth collectively over one million of dol lars. From the number and charac ter of tenders that were subsequently made to me, I have rerson to believe that if necessary a large additional list of responsible namescould have been added to the bond. If there is anything that can com pensate for the*unpleasant sequence of my political experience, I find some measure of it in the hearty aud generous manner in which I have been aud sustained in this emergen- C> i have no fault to find with His Excellency Governor Smith. He performed only his official duty in placing the matter within the juiis diction of the courts, so that at the proper time the question at issue could be heard and determined, and it is only justice to myself to say that requests have been made upon me by officers, attorneys and agents of the State for information and as sistance on several occasions during the past lew years. To all of which I have promptly and cheerefuiiy res ponded in such manner as give en tire satisfaction to those who called on me. Nor was it unknown that X was ready and willing to return here whenever m> return was.desired. The act charged against me in each indictment, was an official act, dont in the pertormance of my official du ties in accordance with the laws of the State, any pecuniary or other benefit to myself. But in times of high politieial excitement, as you know, the most praiseworthy deeds by an officia may be regarded and decided by theopposite party to have been dictated by sinister purposes and done from corrupt motives. \v e have an exhibition of the reverse of this propposition in what I find here to-day. It is openly asserted and I believe not denied, that there is an unadjested or an imperfect account in the departments of the disposition and exchange made of certain bonds during the present and administra tion, and that a large amount of money has been paid Srom ttie tieas ury on bonds that bad been pievioos lv redeemed, and for which, on the regular performance to the Treasurer an Executive warrant. Now, it would be absurd for any one even to suggest that his Bxcel lenev should be indicted for “larceny after trust delegated,” or for “con spiracy to cheat and swindle the State f” And vet, the performance oi theofficial acts, upon which, tour years ago, these indictments were found, was just as entirely free from criminality. Nor have these acts of mine neoes sairlv involved the State in the loss of a single dollar. The fetate has sustained no hurt from the act of mine upon which the charge of for ce ncy after trust, is based, and if the contract made by the State Railroad i for cars—the official approval oi i which by me she denominated a conspiracy to cheat and swindle the State —has not been fulfilled liy the car company, measures might have been taken to compel a fulfillment. The Car Company with which they contract was made, was regular ly Incorporated and its stockholdeis were responsible and W e M I?now n men, who had been actively engaged in the purchase, operation and the sale of cars in this and adjoining States. _,, , It is to be hoped that never again ia tfcw history of our State will , ieul animosities become so intense as to eause the fact of partizan politi j cal alliance to be accepted as evidence * of social position or personal charac ter. May we not rather accept that the good old days, ante beflum, will be with us again when a man’s moral commercial, professional and social statues will depend upon his acts, irrespective of his political opin ions. The evidences of improvement that I have observed on the Air-Line railroad and in this city are very en couraging to one who wishes well for Georgia. I must admit, however, that the impetus given several years ago to these improvements seems to have spent itself, and there is not that universal prosperity which J desire to see. I hope that when the questions of national issue becomes adjusted or definitely decided, there may be renew’ed energy instilled in to the people. Profitable employment to the ar tisan, successful trade to the mer chant and legitimate practice for the professions will fill to the utmost artery of trade. I therefore trust ihat your discouragement over the condition of the country wdil soon give place to brighter nopes. Again thanking you for your kind expressions of interest in my behalf, believe me as ever, Truly your friend, Rufus B. Bullock. Col. . An Editoiial Tragedy. Yesterday evening, shortly after J seven o’clock, a heart-sickening acci dent occured on the Little Miam Railroad, by which Mr. George M. I). Bioas, w ho for a quarter of a century has occupied the position of leading political writer on the Enquirer , was instantly killed. The New York and Cincinnati express train West, known as “No. 10,” in charge of Conductor Holloway and Engineer Clyne, had left Loveland on schedule time, eight minutes past seven o’clock, and was coming towards this city at the rate of thirty miles an hour. "When com ing around the sharp cm ve just above Branch Hill the engineer saw a(man walking on the track in front of him less than fifty yards distant he recog nized that man, and sounded the short, sharp signal of danger, at the same time putting on the air-brakes to stop the train. There are moments in the lives of most of us in which the events of years are crowded into a second of time. The mind at such times sees with the rapidity of light ning’s flash or the swiftness of a sun beam, unrolled before it was in a parmrama the occurrences of a lifetime. And this was one of those moments of supreme trial to Engin eer John Clyne, He saw and recog nized the man before him as Mr. Bloss. He recalled to tnind the first time he eversaw him—the second, the third the many hundreds of times had riduen w’itii him on his morning journeys between his home and the city. He remembered his peculiari ties mind,of hisabtractedair when en gaged iu thought, and he noticed, too, that this air had possession of him now. With his head and body thrown forward and his hands in his pockets lie was walking mechanical ly to hi# home, clothed in deep study. Hwutfwpw? Jfcߣ n sip*r jerked the throttle valve of his en gine and turned on the air pump to stop the train, and w’ith every rev olution of the wheels he shuddered at the thought of the inevitable. The man before him walked on in uncon cerned security, buried in thought. He heard nothing, saw nothing, felt nothing, until the train struck him, hurling him fifteen or twenty feet in the air. He fell on the side of the track a quivering corpse, while the train shot past him to be brought to a standstill forty or fifty yards be yond. A moment later a score of kind hea r ifccL mon jumped vtr ine train and, hurrying to w r here the inanimate body lay, had gathered it up with tender care. There were no signs of life there. Death had been instan taneous. His skull had been factured, his left leg, aud right arm broken and his entire body jarred into a quivering mass by the terrible shock, iiis hat was thrown to the other side of track, and his watch, wrench ed from the chain, was nowhere to be found. At this moment two of his sons,the one a young man of eighteen or nineteen, and the other a lad of twelve, came up, accompanied by a young lady, a niece ot Mr. Bloss, to see w hat had caused the stopage of the train. Just as they were lilt ing the body to cary it to the train ; the trio came up. The oldest boy saw what had happened. “Oh, it’s father and he is killed,” said he and sank to the earth in a sw’oon. The younger son and the neiee w’ere al most equally affected, but were bet ter able to control their feelings. The train was pulled a couple of hundred yards to a point opposite the home of the deceased, amt conductor Hol loway went in to break the sorrowful tidings to the family. He met Mrs. i Bloss at the door, and told her as gently as possible. Said she to her niece, who had come by this time: “I told you that I feared it was George”—and then broke down. But it-t us draw a cur tain over the scene that followed. Supper had been prepared and was on the table, and the family were on ly waiting for its head to be seated | around the board and enjoy it. A rude bier was improvised by Mr. Holloway, and he, with the pas i sengers who had before assisted, brought the remains into what had been his home a few hours before,but wdiichghad so suddenly been turned into a i;ogse of mourning. There he was gently laid out by loving friends while the stricken mother and chil dren scarce able to realize the sud den calamity which had overtaken thGm s sank overwhelmed with grief. New t York, May 27.—The Sun publishes a letter dated Augusta, Me., Nev* 1870, from James G. Blaine to Warren Fisher, Jr,, of Bos ton, offering for $25,000 to procure for Fisher one one-hundred and ninety second [fort of the entire franchise of the Northern Pacific Bailroad, in cluding the land company’s stock. After describing the immense pros pective profits of the transaction, Blaine says that he himself cannot avail of the opportunity, but obey ing the tipit fpui best impulses offers it to Fisher, In his concluding par agraph Blaine says: “Keep my name quiet, mentioning it to no one unless to Mr. Caldwell.” Blaine’s re ceipt to Fisher for the $25,000 and an agreement to deliver as described is ; also published. Blaine was unable to deliver, and after over a year’s waiting Aqnila Adams, one of the pool fop tyhifi}) Fisher acted, reclaim ed five thousand dollars,’ his interest, from Blaine, and obtained it. The correspondence seems to have been furnished the£wa by Adams, a letter i Bout whom b übu pubibiied. . CARTERSYILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE S, 1876. AGRICULTURAL. Hints for the Month—From the Rural Carolinian. The name of the present month, as most of our readers know, is de rived from Juno, a fabled goddess of antiquity, who was said to be Jupi ter’s wife. Well, if the old lady ruled her domestic affairs, as warmly ashe does the weather sometimes, sue made it pretty hot about old Jup’s ears occasionally. And just so should the farmers make the work about the young plants, now growing off beautifully, and vieing with the noxious weeds that now-a-days seem to multiply in both species and genius. If the corn land was well prepared, the crop judiciously planted, a good stand obtained, and the work of cul tivation well done thus far, the farm er can do little else than give the crop a speedy woiking early in this month, and before the Ist July lay it by with a few shadow sweep fur rows. One of the most successful farmers we ever knew, told us he never ran a furrow in corn as late as Ist July. How will it be with you this season, reader? Cotton is now growing off finely, and heed ns to j>r ,>ont a beautiful ap pearance. It iias been worked over and thinned to “a stand,” which with some farmers means two stalks in a hill, with others one; we prefer the latter, and standing about the width of a broad hoe apart. Fre quent work, and shallow work, is all this crop needs this moth, and it should receive it as early in the month as possible, for the hands will be needed elsewhere before the month is out. Don’t put off the work, but push it. “Cotton will wait,” is a fallacy. It wi'l survive maltreatment, but to let the crop get partially strangled now, with a promise to resuscitate it hereafter, is poor economy. Keep it clean from the start, and never leave it till it ;s in thorough condition. If peas were not planted in May, plant them now, but not in the corn. Plant in narrow beds to themselves, and chop once with the hoe as soon as up, and at proper time give one ploughing. Pea soup, peas and rice, and boiled peas, are dishes palatable enough to induce every farmer to grow an acre or so for the table, to say nothing nf the value of a larger crop, as both grain and hay for all kinds of stock. Few crops are more valuable for man and beast. This month the oat crop and Spring wheat will be cut. Cradle carefully, bind securely, shock in shocks of "a dozen bundles, don’t cap, leave the grain shocked for a week, if the weather is dry and warm, and then with all hands haul to the barn, and house or stack. Oat straw that has | not been wet since the crop was cra dled, and not left to bleach in the field longer than just time enough to make it fit for housing, is better long forage than corn fodder, and almost equal to hay. Grain for seed should be thorough ly ripe before harvested; mr feeding, it may be cut a week earlier. Most farmers say harvesting grain interferes with the cotton crop. We always feel the other way. We must have our grain harvested, but the cotton crop very frequ^,,*i v wor . Potato slips may be set out time during this month, and we hope not a reader of the Rural but has a good potato patch. From October till May, no one article of food “fills the bill” so well as the sweet potato. Fried for breakfast, roasted for din ner, or poned for dessert, it is always palatable and nutritious. Then grow them largely this season to enjoy them next winter. Garden vegetables are becoming abundant; keep the garden clean, and plant successive crops of beans, cabbage, tomatoes, squashes, and melons AVcvtx:i wniy at sunset, and do it thoroughly. Next morning put dry earth on the wet spots before the sun gets hot. Stock of all kinds will do well now, especially if allowed to glean the stubble fields, which should be considered their right. Senator Gordon on the Situation, We find in the Atlanta Constitution the following letter from Gen. Gor don. It speaks for itself: Washington, May 15.1876. Hon. John W. Wofforcl , Cartersville , Oa. : My Dear Colonel.— l have just returned from Philadelphia, and has ten to reply to yours of April 30th. There is one point on which the Democrats of the country are agreed, viz : That we must eelect as our can didate the man who can be elected, if such a man can be found. It will not bo easy for the Democracy to elect any candidate. We are unhap pily not united on the financial ques tion. This is true to some extent of the Republicans, but they are less divided aid better disciplined. As to candidates I could not were Ia 1 delegate decide in advance of the Convention for whom I should cast my vote. Certain it is that the South should, as I said, in my speech in Atlanta before the Legislature—go to the Convention entirely unpledged, and only decide after the fullest con ference with the delegates from those Northern States in which our chan ces are best. There are some points, however, more or less peculiar to this contest, Which ought to serve as indicators or sign-posts to guide us. 1. i'here never has been in the his tory of Presidential contests an elec tion in which the people have look ed so much to the man and so little to the platform as they will In this r^cti, 2nd. The paramount thought with intelligent voters will be io secure an absolutely honest administration. Bd. The war issues will be brought into the canvass in order to fill the Northern mind with apprehension, and with more effect than our people of home generally imagine. 4th. I should, were Ia delegate, pqst my vote for that lqan, who should appear} after the fqlleit con ference, to have the greatest popular strength in New York, New Jersey, j Conuecticutt. fndiaqa and the pacific I States. It will be difficult, I know, to find a man who has strength both in New York and Indiana, and if I either State is to be placed in jeop- I ardy by the nomination, I should I prefer to sacrifice our chances in the 1 latter State. We may elect without Indiana. We are certain to fail if W ; e lose New Y” r k. I have thus given you, Colonel, as requested, ray own views for what they are worth. With every confidence in the un selfish purposes, and in the discre tion and ability of yourself and such members of the Qeorgia delegation to do the best and wisest things pos sible at St. Louis. X am your friend, Joxut £ UomwN. Dom Pedro’s Empire, j The Centennial Exhibition if it does nothing more, will throw a flood of light upon the resources of the several nations of the earth I which are represented there, in their varied productions of soil, climate, mechanical skill, painting, sculp -1 ture aud all the arts and sciences. Who, for example, had imagined that what we regarded as semi bar barous Brazil, had made the progress which her department at this world’s fair renders indisputable: “The exhibition of Brazil, that South American empire with which we are destined in the future to have the most intimate relations, is very remarkable. The visitor in the Ag- ricultural building cannot avoid re marking its one stiucture of cotton ! a,l j! the adjacent enclosure, festooned with the skins of animals, both in their natural state and in the more durable form of leather. From every part of the great building t hese two features of the representa tive agricultural world, blending with the yellow marked flag of the coun try Whipil they iypi tt**o oloarly Uistin A single glance at the contents of these enclosures re- veal a variety of objects not at first suspected. One single item in this collection of the products of Brazil is the specimen of more than two hundred different kinds of wood, numbering many of surpassing ele gance in texture and polish, and not a lew which are absolutely unknown to ns. Of fibrous products there are fifteen or twenty varieties, and some t IDCn .•/* rG’ , . ot these are of greater apparent value for manufactures than anything to the use of which we are now accus tomed. A partial enumeration only of other products will or should suf fice tor drawing attention to the rich ness of those over which we pass \\ ithout mention. Of cotton and corn, tobacco and tea, sugar and starch trie everywhere recognized necessi ties—we are shown the most com piete assortments, and we find in each of them the equivalent of the best \\ inch is known in other portions ot tiie world. The best brands of of cotton known in the Soi Hern biates here meet their equals, and our gteat \v est cannot excel, either in quality or variety, the corn, speci mens ot which are here exhibited. If j Brazillian tobacco has hitherto j j' ail ked of second quality, we here I J? :lv , e evidence that it has been onlv for Jack of a demand for the fine ar ticle. Its ability to equal the best, wherever produced, cannot be suces fully disputed in the presence of the samples here shown. Although Ja pan tea finds a natural home in Bra zil, and that without impairing its quality, the specimens of Yerba Mate ~the native tea of Brazil— cannot but excite the particular attention of those who are accustomed to regard Asiatic tea as the only article wor thy of the name. Of sugar we find no less than thirty-six different kinds ranging all the way from the least to the most desirable known to com merce. Rice, too, abounds in the greatest possible luxuriance and va riety, as does also wheat, oats, rye, etc. J ipioca appears in different va rieties. aa antr’iiquors are very numerous. But perhaps the most remarkable single product on exhibition is that of na-! tive silk, ana of this the most re markable thing to be said is that it is an open air as well as an entirely nat urall prouuetion. The silk-grower is subjected to the minimum of care and trouble in the pursuit of his occupa tion; yet the quality of the prod uct is, nevertheless, of great excellence. Louisiana. There is trouble among the Repub licans in New Orleans. Dann H temporary absence from the St de of the spurious Governor, Kellogg, Judge Hawkins, of the Superior Court died, and Antoine, a genuine negro, but a bogus Lieutenant-Gov ernor, as acting Governor, filled the vacancy by the appointment of B. L. Lynch, who at the time was the Judge of the Fourth District Court. In order to make the appointment binding. Antoine issued to Lynch two commissions, the second being made, as he supposed, a little strong er than the first. Kellogg on Jiis re turn became indignant at what he deemed an infringement upon his privileges; and proceeded to appoint Llugh J. Campbell as the successor of Hawkins; and, notwithstanding an opinion from the Attorney-Gener- eral, that the removal of Judge Lynch would be unconstitutional, il legal, and an outrage on public order. Campbell, on Saturday last, support ed by a force of policemen, took pos session of the court room, upon which Lynch applied to Judge Tis sot, of the Second District Court for an injunction against Campbell, which was granted. Both Campbell and Lynch are Republican politicians of the most unscrupulous type, and the row between them indicates internal quarrels in the party relative to the control of the organi zation at the corning election. At torney-General Field expects trouble in consequence of the opinion he de- livered on this matter, and informed a reporter that he supposed it would be necessary to supply his office with a couple of double-barrelled shot guns, with two colored men to han die them* He also says thai he has sent word to Kellogg that the best thing the latter could do would be to pack his carpet bag and get out of the State as soon as possible, which certainly was very good advice. Men armed with iron claws fight like wild beast in Baroda, India, the King offering prizes and witnessing the brutish contests. They are first intoxicated with bhang, an infusion of hemp and opium, to inspire them with sufficient courage. Frenzied and singing, they rush at each other, striking, wrestling, grid using the iron claws, until one or the other is wounded beyond further fighting, ffouselet, ih his “Travels in India,” describes a contest in which one gla diator showed symptoms of fright and a desite to run away, and the other turned to the King to know whether he should relent. “Strike!” the King shouted, and the head of the defeated fellow was soon torn and bleeding. 001. Henry C. Buel, who was on the staff of General Grant during the war, has been committed to jail in New York, charged with fatally ! stabbing Michael Hussey, in that city, in an altercation on Sunday | night last.
