‘ Will Accept a Nomination for Gover
nor.
His Reply to a Letter from a Number of
Gentlemen.
l[on. Ilerscfiel V. Johnson :
Dear Sir :—When two parties <li
-5 ide the State striving for the success
of opposing principles, of necessity
and with patriotism the political of
fices, in which the prevuiii".g princi
ple is to receive its development, lit
the objects of contention. Such a
state of affairs has been exiiii ited in
the course of your own career, when
the great Whig and Democratic par
ties fought, under the leadership of
their foremost men, over their lived
theories.
But when the Slate practically be
longs to one party, then contentions
for office become merely strivings of
individuals for personal promotion
advantage or distinction. Such a
condition of things exists in the State
now.
The undersigned ardently desire to
see a man borne into the* office of
Governor of Georgia by the spontane
i ous, unsolicited movement of the
people of Georgia.
As it would be out of taste to speak
of your merits to your face, merely
in the way of aimless compliment,
, -.i> it would heweub, tnrougn fear of
offendiogjagainst good taste,to refrain
from so speaking when it is proper and
to a purpose to do so. There are three
or four men in the State,recognized by
all its citizens as pre-eminent. While
the peer of any ot thissmail number,
your abilities and wisdom, coupled
with your purity of character, leave
you no equals outside of these few
and place you far above all other than
they. The undersigned entertain
the opinion that this pre-eminence
should, on the one hand, receive its
recognition in your unsought (leva-,
lion lo the highest office in the gift |
of the people of Georgia, and, would i
on the other hand,be itself tiie best as-;
suranee that that office would be ad
ministered,in its every br.-ucli and <!e- 1
part men t wisely, patriotically, hide- j
pendeutly and without favoritism.
The undersigned, firmly persuad
ed that the sentiments and opinions
herein expressed are shared by the
great mass of their fellow-citizens of
Georgia, earnestly request you to al
low an authoritative statement that
you would accept the nomination of
the Democratic Convention of the
State for the office of Governor.
Very respectfully,
C. J. Jenkins. Jas. S. Hook,

Sandy Grove, Bartow P. O ,Ga. \
June loth, 1876. J
Jfessrs. C. J. Jenkins and many othxrs;
Gentlemen — Your comtnunicu
-1 tion touching the candidacy for Gov
; emor of Georgia, for the ensuing
| Executive term, was received a few
| days ago, whilst 1 was holding an
adjourned term of the Superior j
1 Court of Washington county, lienee, ;
i did not reply immediately.
You ask me to allow an authorita- I
Live statement that 1 will accent the j
ventiou of the State ior ti;e oilice ei \
Governor.
I recognize the right of the State
to command the services of any citi
zen and his reciprocal obligation to
obey, unless prevented by paramount i
! reasons, lienee, if, contrary to my j
j expectations, 1 should be called upon j
i bv the people to serve them in the
| Executive capacity, or (to use your |
! own language) if 1 should be “borne
i into the office of Governor by the
; spontaneous, unsolicited movement
of the people of Georgia,” I should
act not under the impulse of personal
interest or ambition for that office,
but solely under that sense ot duty j
which should govern every patriotic |
citizen.
Having received numerous private
letters on the same subject and look
ing to the same end, I take occasion j
to say publicly, in reply to them, that;
1 cannot consent to be placed in the :
attitude of a candidate for the nomi- j
nation. Ido not desire the nomina
* tion, and, thereiore, I should deplore
to be placed in such position as might
! lead to divisions or increase the ten
| deuev to such divisions, already so
I apparent. I would rather “pour oil
! upon the waters” than to be, even
i unintentionally, instrumental in
I swelling and infuriating its billows.
I have no aspiration for the office
lof Governor. Its responsibilities, tor
I the next Executive term, as i see
I the probable future, are not such,
J even if 1 distrusted my ability less
than I do, as to induce me to court
their assumption. Much less would
i covet the honor of so grave a trust,
; at the peril of engendering sellism,
* heaatburning and srtrife. Be assured,
gentlemen, I shall be truly gratified
if the people of Georgia shall select
> 1 any other on whom they may feel
, safe in imposing these high duties.
* lam quite sure there are many emi-
I I nent citizens from whom such a se
-1 lection can be made.
It remains only for me to express i
to the people of Georgia my profound j
sense of obligation for the many dis- j
tinguisKedr etwences t> tlfCJjr cGiilX
dpuce in the past. They litive hon
ored me beyond my deserts. I shall
never be able to discharge the debt j
of gratitude I owe them.
Accept, gentlemen, my grateful j
acknowledgment of theqomplimen-;
tary terms which you are pleased to
apply to myself and the assurance ol
my sincere regret that 1 so little de
serve them.
1 have the honor to he most re
spectfully your obedient servant and
fellow-citizen.
Herscuel V. Johnson.
Pure Water and Poultry.—
It is the opinion of a writer in the
Fancur's Journal “that many of lhe
diseases incident to poultry are due
to neglect in providing them with
pure water; particularly do I believe j
such to be the ease, in _th majority
of instances where, chicken choiera
prevails. The omission to furnish
fowls with suitable dn iking water
is one of the worst features ot cruel
ty to animals. It is a neglect that is ;
decidedly adverse to success, lienee j
tends to diminish individual fancy
for fowls, and works detriment to
oouitry interests. Those whom we
occasionally hear saying that “tnere I
is no profit in poulty,” are not quail
fled to have tue management ol the
same, and in their attentions .may
be classed with the thriftless and
neguected parties who keep fowis
that get drink when it rains.”
~L wish I might die,” sighed a
middle-aged maiden, as she hung
like a iimp bolster out of the third
story front window on Sunday after
! noon and espied a man whom she
had once coquettishly rejected placid

In response to the above Gen.

ter :
Atlanta Ga., May 29, lß7fi.
James Hanflail. Esq.. Auausta Ga.:
My Dear Sir : Your kind note
with the enclosure of one from Sub
scribe! is before me, and in the hurry
of the moment 1 hope I may be able
to reply as fully as desired.
Yes, I am a granger, and an earnest
one, approving heartily and without
stint the great and pure purpose of
the order. Certainly as I understand
that purpose it is not to ignore “all
oii -r callings, professions and busi
nevi of life save this one,” nor is it
making an effort to “bolt out all the
-.sinesses of middle men in the
country that it can compass or con
trol,” nor to establish that sort of di
rect trade with *“foreign nations”
which would prove a “detriment to
its former friends and country.” But
the sort of granger I am seeks the
real good and prosperity of ourentire
people and country by reforming and
ad living that interest upon which
rusts ( very other. Depression rules
• he houf, every business and profess
ion droops first of all things because
our husbandry is unprosperous. That
languishes because of the unthrifty
methods of cultivation, and habits of
| management and economy ; because
it is made to bear burdens it should
not bear injustice to it, and cannot
b ar. Some of these burdens consist
in great and useless circuity in buy
ing and selling—an enormous usury
from credit instead of cash purchases
and a superfluous number of agencies
which business custom rather than
legitimate demand has fastened upon
our trade. We can no more handle
crops without agents than we can
raise them without hands, and I am
no witness that the enemies of the!
order cal! to established the absurdi
ty that some would charge us within j
th -aileged attempt to do this. But*
then we know to our cost and to the
costofewry other cognate interest j
that a farmer’s labor cannot bear the |
tariff which unnecessary agencies;
and a round-about road to market!
exact. To cheapen the way to the j
ship, and to receive our returns as
demand, are among the leading ob
jects of the order-.
As to our efforts in the lino of di
rect trade, we think they are so ob
vious and strikingly just and patri
otic as to challenge the respect ofthe
entire community. We can never be
made to believe that our people are
nenefitted by deflecting the course of
trade ii? an a direct line to Europe,and
at the cost of thousands of miles of
transportation, and annual millions
of extra expenses. Our own seaports
are made bare of shipping, that a
strange self-denial and forgetfulness
allow"to sail with enriching cargoes
into other harbors. The people in
the South whb live by agriculture
have made but feeble efforts hereto
fore to defend themselves against
useless and unjust hindrances simply
because we never could devise an ef
fective organization whose agency
could relieve us. \\ e believe at last
that in the grange we find this qrggnr
ized power. Every other profession
or pursuit has its guild, why should
we not have ours? Our calling as
tillers of the soil has too much gio
* rious purpose in it, and is kept too
l amicable by our close sympathy with
mother earth fqr its members to be
Drought in hostile array against tpiy
Hass’ of good and sociable people.
Wo are not in this attitude and it is
! only misconception of our object or
unkind misrepresentation of it, which
; could induce the belief that we are.
Our rubric holds us to industry,
economy, cash trade, and as few in
termediaries as possible. Direct
trade is a logical sequence from such
i t,remises ws these, and when we add
that the Order enjoins fraternity,
“peace on earth and good will to
men” can the most captious see any
thing here to blame? With high re
gard. I am, yours truly,
A- U- Colquitt-

On last Wednesday we boarded
Long’s hack with a view to visiting j
some of the towns on the raiiroad.
On Thursday evening we rolled into
Curtersville, and spent a very pleas- |
eut night with our old friend, Mr!
Joshua Sumner, at the Tennessee j
11 oust'. We also met and formed the
acquaintance of several gentlemen in ,
Carter vide, and met with a cordial
welcome from all. Among others
we formed the acquaintance of Mr.
Willingham, editor of The Express
who is known to be a good man and
a very jovial feliow generally. The
Express has very much improved
i nee it came under hu control.
While spcaking of Cartersville,
allow us, gentle reader, tQ return
: gunks to Mr. Will Wikle, Mr. A.
K. Hudgins. Mr. Henry Ramsaur
uh i others for courtesies extended us.
We secured some advertising for the
Courier in Cartersville, and we com
mend the advertisers to our trading
public.
Andrew Jackson was once making ,
a stump speech out West, in a small j
village. Just as he was concluding,
Amos Kendall, who sat behind him
whispered, “Tip ’em a little Latin,
General. They won’t be content.
without it.” " Jackson instantly:
thought upon a few phrases he knew, j
and in a voice of thunder wound up
his speech by exclaiming, pluri
bus unum—rsine qua non—ne plus ul
tra —ujultum in purvo!” Tbe effect
was tremendous, and the shouts
could bo heard for many miles.

CARTERBYILLE, GEOBUIA, THURSDAY HORNING, JUNE 22,1876.
Unwritten History-
Alexander H. Stephens Replies to Thur
low Weed.
Liberty llall, >
Ckawfordsville, Ga., June 9, ’76 j
lo the Editor of the Eev York Herald:
I have noticed, in a late issue of
your paper, an article by lion. Thur
low Weed, entitled “An Unwritten
Chapter of History,” in which air.
Weed gives a “narrative of how the
Hen-Id's influence was obtained for
President Lincoln’s administration.
After relating the incidents which j
preceded his arrival at Mr. Bennett’s
mansion oruthe Heights, the follow- j
ing sentences occur.
“We then walked for half an hour
around the grounds, when a servant
came and announced dinner. The
dinner was a frugal one, during
which, until the fruit was served, we
held general conversation. 1 then
frankly informed him of the object
of my visir, closing with the remark
that Mr. Lincoln deemed it more im
portant to secure the Herald's sup
port than to obtain a victory in the
field. Mr. Bennett replied that the
abolitionists, aided by the whig mem
bers of Congress, had provoked a
war,, of the danger of which he had
been warning the country for years
and that now, when they were reap
iny wiiut tho y Jiutl oown, they Datl DO
right to call upon him to help them
out of a difficulty that they had de
liberately brought upon themselves.
“I listened without interruption to
a bitter denunciation of Greeley, Gar
rison, Seward, Summer, Ghidings,
Phillips and myself, as having, by
irritatingaud exasperating the South,
brought the war upon the country,
I then, in reply, without denying or
attorn; ting to explain any of his po
sh ion-, stated the whole question
from our standpoint. I informed
him offsets and circumstances within
my own knowledge, showing conclu
sively the deliberate design of sever
ing the Union to prevent California
from corning into the Union as a free
State. I gave him the then unknown
particulars of an interview of Messrs.
Toombs, Stephens and Clingman,
members of Congress from Georgia
and Xorth Carolina, with General
Taylor. The object of that interview
was to induce General Taylor, a
Southern man and slave-holder, to
veto the bill permitting California
to enter the Union as a free State. It
was a stormy interview, with threats
of disunion on one hand and of hang
ing on the other. The facts were
communicated to Senator Hamlin,
of Maine, and myself within ten min
utes after the interview closed.”
I put the last part of this extract in
italics. It is the only matter in this
“chapter of history”‘that I wish at
this time to notice; and the oniv no
tice I wish to take of it is to assure
Mr. Weed and all your readers that
no such interview of Messrs. Toombs,
Gagman and myself ever took place
with General Taymr. ITow he and
Mr. Hamlin could have been in
formed within ten minutes after of
the particulars of an interview which
never occurred, I do pot kn„w; but I
do k iOvv I never a Led Gen. Taylor
to veto any bill whatever, during his
administration. I know, also, and
the records show it, that the bill per
mitting California to enter the Union
as a free State did not pass Congress
moreover, know that I and*my
leage, Mr. Toombs, favored the ad
mission of California as a free State
under her then Constitution during
the whole of that stormy session.
This the records will also show. We
never raised an objection to the ad
mission of California on account of
her anti-slavery constitution, in one
of tho stormiest debates I ever heard
in the House of Representatives my
colleague, Mr. Toombs, said: “ We
do not oppose California on account
ofthe anti-slavery clause in fier con
stitution. It was her right and lam
not prepared tosny that site acted un
wisely in its exercis q'chat is her bus
iness.” What he and I maintained
was that the same rights which the
people of California had exercised for
themselves in forming their Consti
tution should be equally secured to
the free people of other Territories of
the United States wjien they come to
form their constitutions.
How far this portion of Mr. Weed’s
narrative may have influenced the
course of the Herald towards Mr.
Lincoln’s administration I know not,
but I do most solemnly protest
against its being received as a correct
item of history of this country. •

Agricultural Department Report-
The June returns of the department
of agriculture indicate a slight reduc
tion of area in cotton; comparatively
late planting; good stands except in
eases of too early planting or inunda
tion, a growth not up to the average,
nor the season healthy; and improv
ing condition and clean culture, with
exceptions caused by heavy rains that
stimulate the growth and prevent
working. The largest local reduction
of area has been in Louisiana, caused
by overflow and wet weather in the
planting season. The next largest is
Tenneesee, where the season has
been cold and wet in certain districts.
In Texas there has been an effort to
substitute corn for cotton, but in one
fourth of the counties there has been
a positive increase, and in nearly half
of the remainder no decrease, while
the enlargement of the total area of
arable crops is rapidly increasing.
| The figures for acreage fire as follows?
i North Carolina 98; South Carolina,
| 79; Georgia, 94; Florida, 89;|Aiabama
j 100; Mississippi, 89; Texas, 100; Ar
kansas, 100; Tennessee, 05. The re
duction is equivalent to about 3 per
cent. In Virginia and North Caro
| litia lb ere is tsouie poip plaint of bad
stands and small growths from cold
mghts, though the plants are healthy
and the culture generally clean. Late
planting promises well, Jn South
Carolina early seeding has been pro
ductive of poor stands; tbe condition
averages very high. In Georgia
! seasonable rains, fine weather for
work, and abundant labor have been
very favorable; drought, in time of
| planting has aflbctd cultivation un
favorably. In Florida stands ape
j generally very good. In Mississippi
I and Alabama the plants are healthy
though small. In Louisiana over- j
hows have seriously injured the crop
in exposed locations. Drought, in
some parts of Texas has been inju
rious. The plant is looking well in
Arkansas and Tennessee, except in i
places injured by excessive rails or !
inundations. The condition of the j
several States is as follows: North
Carolina, 101: South Carolina, 98;
Georgia. lTf; Florida, 8-; Aiahutqa,
194; Mississippi, 92; Louisiana, 89;
Texas 90; Arkansas 9-5; Tennessee 93.
The Nashville says; Mr.
Blaine’s“aqdacijty” is very flue—but
then there’s his mendacity, bond sa
gacity, subsidizing capacity and gen
| eral rapacity.

uncle.
Memories-
Dedicated to * 4 Phik. #
June 20th, 1876.
This night ten years ago looms up
J before me like a vision of beauty,
aad for a while I will be oblivious to
the present and revel in the memora
ble past. Sleep on ye inhabitants of
our quiet little city and dream—per
chance of “wealth and power or the
wildest visions you could Will,” but
I’ll wake to the memory of oue who
has and who loves me still. Ten
years ago to-night the refulgent
moon,
“<Zer heavens pure azure spread her sacred
lifht
Around her silver throne tlie planets jrlowed,
And stars unnumbered trembling beams be
stowed.”
Oakley Hall was crowded to its
utmots capacity. Merry peals of
laughter made the welkin ring.
Perfumes sweet, exhaled from myri
ads of flowers, charmed the air with
their grateful redolence.
Soft breezes played upon the aspen
boughs, awakening a inol<ly man*
t achingly sweet than any symphony
Boreas ever produced on his Eolian
harp. Hark, the eight bell is sound
ing. They gather round the altar,
and the minister solemnly and im
pressively reads the service that pro
nounces the “twain one flesh.”
.'Ah! how happy they the happiest of their
kind,
Whom gentler stars unite and in one fa(e,
Their hearts, their fortunes, and their beings
blend.”
We all joined in this familiar re
frain, “To-nightat least—to-night be
gay what ere the morrow brings.”
Time with all its changes, can nev
er mar the transcendant beauty of
this night in the “long ago.”
Once in every twelve months I re
visit this halcyon spot and live o’er
again the unspeakable joys that
thrilled my “full freighted” heart.
Where art thou to-night, Phil*)? Sit
ting beneath sweet scented Acacias,
thinkingof the “loved onesat bom*?”
Every Southern breeze seems to bring
me messages from thee on invisible
pinions, but my spirit catches each
loving echo and appropriates it. I
hear thee say, “Yes, Malleen, the
same—yesterday, to-day and forever.”
Let this be the guerdon to inspire
me to a calm endurance of all the
petty ills of life and of fortune. “1
would whisper to thee softly words
which thou should hear alone.”
They are sleeping, and let me ask
you privately, does impecuuiosity
exclude one from sympathy, from
friendship, from common courtesy?
Is it really so that “the poor have no
sensibility, no claims of recognition,
no friends, no need of pity, no con
science in capable of su fferi ng?—w hose
hearts are made of adamant, whose
minds are instinctive like the beast
that perishes and is forgotten.” 1
thought that this was a Christian
land, and that the nineteenth cen
tury boasted of its genius, learning
and purity. Igo to the house of God
and they beautifully sing “Jesus of
Nazareth passeth by,” Can this be
so? Then where is the palm leave;
and living brunches that should be-
StXD-VP utfieuuAiuusiy awaiting
upcoming; but they are poor ; will
he pass them by ? But how could I
admit this shaft of midnight gloom
through my casement to-night, the
night of all nights most beautiful?
Thou teilest me the lines have fallen
to you in pleasant places. Do they
sing “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by,”
and yet refuse thee a cup of water in
His name? What are the brightest
jewels that Christians can wear?
Humility, charity, unselfishness,
consistency. Then why are they ig
nored for the paltry baubles that cor
rode and rust with their using? But
I must not cheat you out of refresh
ing slumber. our lives be long
and happy, and pass ont from time
“like sunlight on a summer sea.”

“There is one thing on which a
husband and wife never have and
never can agree, and that is on what |
constitutes a well-beaten carpet. |
When the article is clean it’s a man’s !
impression that it should be retnov- 1
ed, and he be allowed to wash up
and quietly retire. Jiut a woman’s
appetite for carpet-beating is never
appeased while a man has a whole
muscle in his body. And if lhe
waited until she voluntarily gave the
signal to stop he might heat away
until he dropped down dead. It is
directly owing to his superior
strength of mind that the civilized
world is not a widow this day.”—

The Atlanta Constitution under the
heading “The Man of St. Louis,” says
of the Georgia delegation; “ While
they are uncommitted to any one of
the' Presidential aspirants we have
already stated that which we have
every reason to believe correct, viz:
that of the delegation nine are cer
tain in their preference for Tilden,
and the probabilities are that, under
existing circumstances more than
one-half of the twenty-two represen
tatives from this State would vote
for him at St. Louis.”
