Cartersville, June 15, 1876.
GFN. YOUNG FOU CONGRESS.
We have already published a com
munication from Floyd advocating
Gen. Youn £ for. Congress.
The signed “Dalton,” is
To the m<tor of The Express :
I am glad to sec that a Floyd count r man has
spoken out in favor of Gen. Young for our
Congressman. I can assure you Whitfield and
Murray ct unties are for him. They wcie sold
out the last time, but will not he again. All
tfse “hue and cry” about the salary grab and
the real estate pool is too little and contempt
ible to think of, much less to be eternally
speaking and writing about it. We all know
what.it is done for. In condemning \oung
for the salary grab, Stepheas, Gore on, Nor
wood and a large majority of our best and
purest statesmen are condemned. 1 iere are a
iew would-be leading men in this district who
defeated us at the last election, and will do *o
again if they are to continue to load. Put
Whitfield and Murray counties town lor
Young. Dalton.
Gen. Young has not said that he
is again an aspirant for Congress.
He has authorized no one to so an
nounce him. If the people desire
liisj services, as indicated by a Home
correspondent of ours, and “Dalton”
this week, we have no doubt Gen.
Young will serve them. As he
served them most gallantly and
faithfuly upon the battle-field, so he
has served them since the war as
their Congressman, and will do so
again when called upon by the peo
ple. At the same time it is proper
to say that Gen. Young would scorn
to force himself upon the people for
any position, and the attacks that
have been made upon him by a few
—and we are glad to say but a few —
have been most unjustly and wrong
fully made.
The circumstances under which
Gen. Young voted for the so-called
salary grab are known to all intelli
gent men familiar with the records
of Congress. Had he not done so he
would have been cursed and damned
from one end of the State to the oth
er. He refused to vote for it as a
naked question, and even when it
came up in the appropriation bill
which included the payment of large
Southern cotton claims, it was not
until he was appealed to by some of
the truest men in Congress did he
consent to vote tor it. It was a com
promise in which he voted against
his inclinations as to the salary grab,
and voted to save to the South some
forty millions of dollars of cotton
claims. Among the gentlemen who
were most earnest in his appeal to
Gen. Young in this behalf was Gen.
Gordon, who had not yet taken his
seat as Senator, and who promised
Gen. Young his defense upon the
stump and through the pret?s if he
Stephens defenttoTlhat vote In Ihe
House and Mr. Norwood voted for
the so-called salary grab in the
Senate.
But strange as it appears, only Mr.
Stephens and Gen. Young have been
assailed on account of the salary
grab. Gen. Gordon and Mr. Nor
wood have passed the ordeal un
scathed. Nobody has attacked
either one of them; but out of pure
and “cussed” gpite and vindictive
malignity as it would seem Stephens
and Young have borne the brunt of
the abuse upon this score- Is this
honest? Is it true to principle and
justice? The cry against the salary
grab from the beginning was only
the war whoop of second rate politi
cians, and was taken up by some
very clever people.
Now, in regard to the real estate
pool business. For more than two
months this matter has been submit
ted to a committee of Congress. No
one has corruptly implicated Gen.
Young with it except by a irrespon
sible Radical and he did not state
that Gen. Young was corruptly im
plicated, but merely that his name
was on the books of Kilbourne some
years since as having invested some
money in real estate through that
man as an agent. Siuce the matter
was submitted to a committee for in
vestigation, Gen. Young has repeat
edly asked the chairman, Mr. Glov
er, by letter and through his friends,
to be allowed to testify. Up tj this
time he has not been called upon for his
testimony, nor has 'any charge been
made against him to the committee,
directly or indirectly’.
Tkft attempt to stigmatize the rep
utation of Gen. Young is simply an
outrage, as damnable as hell. To
defame the name of a true soldier
and a pure Democrat, by false charg
es directly made or by implication is
shameful. We regret to see any at
tempt of the kind to break down any
man ; and, as a friend to Gen. Young
we are in favor of his going before
the peop[e as a candidate for Con
gress, as a vindication of his charac
ter against the bitter and unjust
terms in which it has been assailed.
If a man has fought nobly for his
country’ and acted nobly in Congress
for his constituents, his constituents
should see to it that his reputation
suffers no detriment at the hands of
his enemies who would seize upon
mere pretexts to consummate srch a
purpose.
We .have written this editorial in
behalf of a friend and without his
knowledge. It was prompted by the
communication we have given at the
beginning of this article. Believing
we are right, and for the sake of
right and the vindication of truth,
we shall stand by Gen. Young and
repel all assaults made upon him un
justly. \\ e shall not desert him, and
we call upon the people to stand by
the good name of a brave and gallant
soldier who always stood by his col
ors in the battle’s strife, and who, as
a member of Congress, vindicated
the people of the South and never
deserted them when assailed by their
enemies.
A FIELD DAY IN ATLANTA.
If one wants to find out things, po
litically, all one has to do is to go to
Atlanta. There you can hear it all
and a great deal more —especially a
great deal more. What the Constitu
tion and the Commonwealth fail to
elucidate or make up through the
week the Sunday Telegram finishes
up on Sunday. Between these in
dustrious sheets, the Kirkwood mu
tuals, West Murphy and the lesser
lights the political cauldron is kept
boiling—all for Coiquitt. If the
“Christian soldier” is not made Gov
ernor it will be no fault of these in
fluences. They are at work all the
time, and they already know in ad
vance of the movements of the peo
ple in their primary capacity just
precisely that Colquitt will be nomi
nated on the first ballot. If their
judgment be correct, which we very
much doubt, why is it that they
should fret and fume so during these
hot days of our centennial June about
the presentation of ihe name of Mr.
Johnson ? If Colquitt is to be nomi
nated on the first ballot why does the
Johnson movement affect them as a
nightmare in the beautiful dreams of
assured victory ?
But as we have said, if one wants
to know precisely “how il is” any
way, just go to Atlanta and seek the
authorities already cited. We spent
Monday down among the “knowing
ones,” aud if we should believe pre
cisely what they say, they have not
yet seen that “cloud no bigger than a
man’s hand,” nor heard the rumbling
of the “distant thunder.” They have
ciphered Mr. Johnson down to five
counties, Hardeman down to ten or
fifteen, Gartrell down to Gilmer
county, and then they smile a ghastly
smile for James, and say lie is the
only man willing to pay to be Gov
ernor. This is just the way they put
matters in a nutshell aud hand the
shell over to be cracked by anybody
who can.
But as strange as it may appear to
the Atlanta Solons, the Colquitt bri
gade, there are a great many John
son men in Atlanta, a good sprink
ling of James men, and a little dash
of Hardeman throughout the city.
Of course, Colquitt is ahead. He
could not be otherwise with the
Smith element to hack him. Well,
we want the hoys to have their way
until the convention ; and then, per
haps, the people, through their rep
resentatives, may have their way in
the actions of that convention. That
would be about fair play and will
givQ us all a chance to he thoroughly
lepresented in the politics of the day.
If Johnson should be nominated the
Colquitt men will have the satisfac
tion of having had a real good time
for the past four years, and this is
just where the beauty of the thing
comes in.
We heard a great deal of the “se
er 3t circular.” The boys are anxious
to see it and to smell of it .to ascertain
the quantity of brimstone in it.
When we told them it would be im-
Joftnson until tie ftAd’ ttm^red r Tt
and submitted the whole to the peo
ple they seemed to realize the pro
priety of such a course, and, we think,
they arc willing to wait with Chris
tian resignation until such a time.
The suggestion seemed to have a
soothing effect upon our friends and
we all quaffed a mug of foaming
lager as to the fitness of things, and
Col. Styles and Maj. Small and Cpt.
•Murphy manifested a serene calm
ness when they were convinced there
was no sulphur in the “secret circu
lar.” It was a part of our mission to
wave the wand of truth over the
heads of our good friends lest they
might overdo the circular business
and make themselves too ridiculous.
THE BRETHREN.
During Sunday and Monday last
we met up with quite a number of
the brethren of the “fourth estate”
in Atlanta. The first we saw was
Col. Styles, who seems to be quite at
home in the “Gate City’.” The next
was Medlock. of the Sandersville
Herald. And then we struck up
with Bill Moore, of the Augusta
Constitutionalist , who has his washing
done in Atlanta and comes up every
Saturday night for a clean shave and
a “biied” shirt.
On Monday the trains brought into
the city several other brethren. As
we went around to see the Atlanta
journalists, we met up with the
Gradys, of the Telegram, Col. Wad
dell and Col. Garlington, of the
Times , Whidby and Small, of the
Constitution. During the day we
struck up with Speights, of the
Greenville (S. C.) News, who comes
over into Georgia occasionally for a
breath of free air; then we came up
with Alexander, of the Griffin News.
It was not until the early dawn of
Tuesday, as we were about to take
the train for home, that we caught
sight of Gorman, of the Talbotton
Standard, who just arrived on the
Macon train, destined for his Ten
nessee farm to look after his crop of
Irish potatoes and snap beans.
Well, right glad were we to meet
these friends of the press. They are
all good jolly’ fellows, and the enjoy
ment to us was huge.
There is a little goober patch somewhere
down in the piney woods of Georgia called
Columbia county. A few days ago two or
three of its grabbers got together and adopted
a string of resolutions favoring Colquitt ior
Governor. Thereupon the Colquitt host began
huzahing for the first gun for Colquitt. *
Saturday the Democracy of Richmond eouuty
met and declared for Johnson by electing the
friends of that gentleman upon the executive
committee.— Roino Courier.
We further understand the Colum
bia meeting was held impromptu, it
not having been called. It was a
ease of snap judgment taken outside
of regular Democratic organization
and usage. If that is the way the
friends of Gen. Colquitt propose to
control the party, are they not pav
ing the way for bolters and indepen- f
dent candidates?
Since the foregoing was put in type
we learn the meeting was regular
called.
DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION.
The convention of the Democrat
ic party of Bartow county has beer
called to meet in the Court house on
Saturday, the 29th day of July, at 11
o’oelock. The purpose of waiting
until that time is to give the people
time to reflect and decide as to who
shall represent them in the State
convention of the Democracy and to
determine as to their choice for Gov
ernor. If we are not mistaken in
the temper of the people the Bartow
delegation will go to Atlanta under
instruettions as to the gubernatorial
nomination. What those instruc
tions will be is to be submitted to
our people themselves in our county
convention. The crops will all be
laid by and the farmes will have am
pie time to attend that convention,
and it is hoppd they will all be here
by the thousands.
In making the foregoing statement
we desire most sspecially to appeal
to the Democratic voters of Bartow
county to take all pains that every
man in the county is aroused to the
importance of a full attendance of
the people. ,If “eternal vigilence is
the price of liberty,” it is equally
necessary that every man should be
thoroughly arroused in regard to all
political movements. Under our
system of government every voter is
the equal of his peers in all that per
tains.to government and each and
every man to the extent of his vote
as to whether that government be
good or bad. This being true it is
well the people should ho divided
into political parties in order that
the people may not become the sub
jects or victims ot ring rule and mis
government.
The Democratic party being large
ly in the majority in the State, it is
necessary that the people should be
vigilant that its organization may
not he pervetred to the base purposes
of designing men who would use it
for selfish and ignoble ends. These
are the reasons why we would see
every Democratic voter in Bartow
county at the convention so that the
will of the people shall bo truly re
flected by the proceedings thereof.
If the Democratic party of Bartow
does not reflect the will of the great
majority of the people of the county,
it will be the fault of the people
themselves. If they are not here to
control the actions of the convention
they have none to blame but them
selves. We are about to enter upon
an important political campaign,
State and National, and every voter
is interested in his own behalf and
that of his family in the selection of
a good governor, and they should
come forward, say who they desire
to be nominated in Atlanta on the
2d of August.
Democrats of Bartow! if you are
true to your party, your country and
good government show your patriot
ism by giving your influence and
presence in the deliberations to be
held here on the 29th of July. We
want to see the largest meeting ever
us rally and come together for the
great public good and show a piop
er appreciation of our liberties and
blessings of free government.
The Rome Courier is well pleased
with the time for the State Conven
tion. It says: It gives time for the
Colquitt bubble so burst, and for the
people themselves to think and act.
The little cut and dried game already
fixed up will be knocked into a cock
ed hat, and honest men will have a
chance to express their convictions.
The “little cloud no bigger than a
[ man’s hand” is gathering propor
tions as it becomes more and more
probable that Mr. Johnson would ac
cept a nomination for Governor. If
he signifies a willingness to do so,
won’t we soon hear the thunder?
Look out, boy’s, for the lightning !
Col. Carey W. Styles, of the Atlan
ta Commonwealth, and Major Charles
Willingham of The Cartersville
Express are two of the warmest poli
ticians in the State.— Savannah News,
And Corperal Joe Harris is certainly
the funniest man in the State.
We sincerely sympathize with Mr.
John H. Seals in the loss of his son
Millard, who was knocked from an
excursion train near Port Royal some
days ago. He was the only’ child
and is represented to have been a
most estimable young man.
The Colquitt organs are making
desperate efforts to distort the pur
pose of a letter addressed to Hon. 11.
V. Johnson, asking the use of his
name for Governor. They know
perfectly well there is not a breath of
conspiracy in it.
The gubernatorial aspirants are
going all over the State making agri
cultural, literary and Sunday school
speeches. These gubernators are ex
ceedingly agricultural, literary and
pious in their political efforts.
Col. Tom Hardeman is shelling the
mountains this week. “They say”
he is making a mighty good impres
siou wherever he goes. It’s about
time the Colquitt organs were look
ing after him.
Is it a foregone conclusion that
Gen. Colquitt will be our next Gov
ernor? His organs say he will, and
yet we do not know it to be absolute
ly certain.
A fellow can’t help liking
Colquitt, Hardeman, James and Gar
treli, nor he can’t help from admir
ing the transcendant abilities of
Johnson,
If Gen. Colquitt can be nominated
on a sort of war whoop, or upon a
sort ot cavalry charge, so to speak in
figurative style, it will be done, you
bet!
The Republican National Conven
tion met at Cincinnati yesterday’, and
we shall not be surprised if Cos nkling
is nominated. That’s Graut’s idea.
Atlanta is by no means unanimous
far Colquitt. Johnson has a large
and influential following in that city.
THE GUBERNATORIAL NOMINATION. I
Weareexcedingly anxious that the
Democracy of Georgia shall make a
nomination for Governor that will
give peace, harmony and success to j
the party. The welfare and pros
perity of the State and people de
mand this. We cannot afford to
sever the Democratic forces for mere
ly personal preferences for any man ;
nor can we push the claims of any
man against the interests of the party.
The friends of no man should attempt
in any manner a nomination by
trickery or seneming; nor can the
friends of any of the aspirants enter
into any sort of bargain and sale to
effect the ends they desire. We must
have a nomination that can be unani
mously made after the contest in the
convention settles the question of the
successful man.
We cannot afford to give any sort
of pretext for independent candi
dacy—for unless we are united we
cannot hope to succeed in perpetuat
ing Democratic rule in the State; we
cannot afford to be remitted to Radi
cal rule, under which we have so
greatly suffered, and from the results
of which the people still are burden
ed. We are not strong enough to
divide.
It is for these reasons that we de
sire to see a harmonious nomination
made. If there be any trickery in
the nomination, or unfair means em
ployed to secure success for any man,
there is certain to be an independent
candidate for Governor, in our opin
ion. Let the friends of each gentle
man named for the office do all they
can for their favorites by the most
honorable means between now and
the second of August; but when the
decision is made by a fair and hon
orably conducted convention let every
Democrat rally to the support of the
nominee.
The integrity of the Democratic
party cannot be shaken or its torces
shattered unless unfair means are
practiced to secure the nomination.
The perpetuity of the party depends
more upon square dealing ail round
than merely blind adhesion to what
ever may be done, right or wrong.
Gartrell never goes outside of At
lanta to electioneer. He places his
whole dependence upon what liis
friends may do for him. Gilmer
and contiguous counties are standing
up to him like men.
The Smith-Colquitt combination
j,s what we hear when we go to At
lanta and whenever we meet up
with anybody from anywhere else.
That is worse than the “circulaire”
business.
James is the only missionary gu
bernator who is candid enough to
come and say lie wants to he Gov
er just for “the honor of the thing”
and is willing to pay something for it.
A daughter of Rev. W. P. Harrison,

Gen. John B. Gordon, U. S. Sena
tor and a member of the Kirkwood
mutual admiration society, is at
home. We saw him on the streets
of Atlanta the other day.
The gubernatorial race is now, be
yond a doubt between Johnson and
Colquitt if the former will consent to
accept a nomination if tendered.
Ever and anon we hear the whis
per that there is an understanding
between the Smith and Colquitt ele
ments. Is it true?
If we are to believe the Colquitt
organs there is no use in having a
nominating convention for Governor.
The Kirkwood mutual admiration
society, we believe, has nominated
Gen. Colquitt for Governor.
We prefer Bayard to Tilden for
