Cartersville, June 22, 1876.
THE Av' UI.T UPON 881. TOItNO.
It is always a matter of regret to
have to condemn the course of a
friend or newspaper contemporary ;
but we are compelled to take issue
with the Rome Courier and itseditor,
Col. Benj. F. Sawyer, who seems de
termined to cast odium upon the rep
utation of Gen. Young. The race for j
Congress will soon be opened, and as ;
a large number of the people of this
district desire the re-election of Gen. |
Young, the Rome Courier exhibits j
what appears to us a most vindictive
malignity towards that gentleman,
its assail merit of him being based
upon false charges, not one of which
the Courier or any body else can es- i
tablish. If the Courier prefers t noth -,
er it certainly has the right to express j
its preference; but it has no right to
assail the reputation of another un
justly as it has that of Gen. Young’s.
It is unworthy of Col. Sawyer's bet
ter impulses and is evidence that he
is acting without the facts and upon
erroneous judgment. Asan intimate
friend of Gen. Young, we cannot
permit such gross injustice to pass
without notice which we shall give
it cahnnly and cooly, honestly and
fearlessly. As to being blind “to the
defects” of any man, no man can
charge us with such weakness and as
to“‘tlexible toadyism” no man can
Jay such a charge at our door. This
none know better than Col. Sawyer.
These inuendoes we throw to the
winds as the vagries of a distempered
mind that cannot tolerate difference of
opinion.
The Courier upon the most baseless
charges, makes an effort to connect
Gen. Young with the real estate pool.
The Cottier has not exhibited the
candor to produce a single word of
substantial proof. It lias not a single
established fact upon which to even
base such a charge of infamy; but in
its blind prejudice it does not scruple
to make the most damning charge
against a man whose record is un
tarnished, and whose reputation for
integrity cannot be sullied. We say
such a course of conduct is not only
shameful, but it is despicable, and
we regret to use such unseemly lan
guage against a Democratic poper.
Gen. Young has been in Washing
ton for two weeks where he has had
the opportunity given him of vindi
cating his reputation. A correspon
dent of the Atlanta Constitution, writ
ing from that city, says:
“Gen. Young has been before an investigat
ing committee of his own accord, and I am glad
to know that he has cleared hi- character of
the charges against it. You know Gen, Young
is a favorite-with the ladies, as well as w'th
eMled 'he “real estate pool',-’ ToY'VSVifiVil*'
tell th.: secrets of which Mr. Kilbotirn was sent
to jail bv the House. Well, to make a long
story short Gen. Young established his inno
cence to the entire satisfaction of the whole
committee and so has refuted the slanders
which have been circulated against him.
A special dispatch to the Chicago
Times from Washington city reads
as follows:
Pierce M. 15, Young, a member of Congress
from Georgia, whose name has been used in
connection with the real estate xool transac
tions in this city, testified to-day before the
investigating committee, that he became con
nected with the pool through W. S. Hunting
ton, formerly cashier of Jay Cook's National
Isank. Young consulted Huntington, in ela
tion to investing ?d,UOU in some enterprise.
H untington introduced him to Kilbourn and
who took the money and invested ii for him in
the real estate pool region on the Northwest
of Washington. Landin that locality was
t hen worth about ten cents a foot, lie never
saw the property purchased for him, or knew
of its location. After this ring was shown up
by the newspapers, Mr. Young demanded the
return of his money by Kilbourn and Latta.
desiring to disconnect himself in every way
with their transactions. After a great delay,
the original sum was returned to him, without
profits or interst. He discovered afterward
that the property purchased with his money
and held by them in his name had increased
to about $“20,000. The opinion prevails that
similar operations caused the reluctance to
show their books that Kilbourue recently ex
hibited, Knowing ones, however, say that
Belknap, Eldridgo and Judge McArthur were
not treated in this way. They were too well
informed, and had too much influence. It is
believed that the Indian Commissioner suffer
ed in the same way as Young. He was more
easily imposed upon. In this way Kilbcrn
andLaUa have accumulated immense fortunes.
Mr. Young emphatically denied any knowl
edge of' or connection with the real operations
or purposes or either of the real estate pools.
He was brought into this only by the man
Huntington, w hom he trusted as his broker.
And yet the Rome Courier is the
only paper that is disposed to hound
an honest man on false charges,
•unsubstantiated by a word of evi
dence. Nobody believes it but Saw
yer, who certainly exhibits a great
want of fairness in the whole matter.
For weeks Gen. Young has by letter
and through his friends demanded
an examination of these charges, un
til fearing that the session of Congress
would close without giving him the
opportunity, he has gone forward
and made the demand in person, and
now we read that he has “ established
his innocence to the entire satisfaction
of the whole committee, and “refuted
the slanders” which none have at
tempted to give currency to except
the Rome Courier. Will the Courier,
alter this vindication,have the hardi
hood to reiterate this infamous
charge or will it have the manly
sincerity and candor to make the
amende honorable ? We want to see.
So much for the present on this
head.
In reference to the so-called “salary
grab” we have but little to say.
Tins question is so well understood
by all who are familiar with the sub
ject that Gen. Young’s course in this
particular needs no defense. It is
enough to say that the Courier makes
no attack on anyone on this score
except Gen. Young, which is the best
evidence that its editor is actuated
by predjudice against that gentleman
with the purpofee of breaking him
dawn before the people that he may
exalt his favorite. Such a warfare,
we say in all candor, does great in
justice to the better impulses of Col.
lawyer. Iu conclusion we ask the
Courier a few questions and then
close for the present.
floes that paper know that Col.
Norwood voted for the so-called “sal
ary grab.”
Does it know that Gen, Gordon
favored it and appealed to members
vote for it before he took his seat ,as
Senator?
Does it know that Mr. Stephens
defended it in an able speech in the
house after he took his seat, and that
that speech did much to quiet the -
popular mind on that subject ?
And knowing these facts of histo
ry, why does the Courier at this late
day continue to assail Gen. Young
and fails to hold up others to con
demnation?
And after the Courier has answered
these questions will it say that Gen.
Gordon, Mr. Stephens and Col. Nor
wood belong to a “noble army of
thieves ?”
Will the Courier answer these
questions eategonieally?
Ml 5. JOHNSON’S BETTER.
We publish in The Express this
week the response of Hon. IT. V.
Johnson to a letter addressed to him
asking the use of his name for Gov
ernor. The letter so addressed to
Mr. J. is the so-called circular about
which there has been so much foolish
comment on the part of a portion of
the press that sought to pervert it as
a conspiracy intended to handover
certain counties to Mr. Johnson in
the nominating convention. When
it is seen that such men as Ex-Gov-
Jenkins and Gen. W. T. Wofford are
among those whose signatures are at
tached to it, it will be seen how fu
tile, how weak and how reckless the
charge of conspiracy falls upon the
public ear. But enough in reply to
the attempted imposition intended
to be practiced upon the intelligent
people of Georgia in the great “hue
and cry” about th3 so-called, “circu
late.”
The full purpose and meaning of
Mr. Johnson’e letter is, that he will
not enter a scramble for the nomina
tion for Governor, nor will he go
over the country as a begging aspir
ant for so lofty a position not to be
sought in any manner by those fit to
fill it, but to be conferred by the 'peo
ple on the score of fitness for it. In
short, Mr. Johnson means to say
that he will “act not under the im
pulse of personal interest or ambi
tion for that office, but solely under
that sense of duty which should gov
ern every patriotic citizen.” Such is
the standpoint from which Mr. John
son look towards the nomination for
Governor. That is to say, while he
•Joes not desire the office and will not
seek it, he will feel it his duty “to
labor where he can do the most good”
when the people decide to demand
his services and determine for them
selves where ii is services will be
most valuable.
Thus Mr. Johnson places himself
before the people of Georgia whom
paai. ... i.„
and respectful terms that if they
choose to nominate and elect him as
their chief magistrate he will obey
the popular will. And at the same
time he gives us to understand that
he would interpose no claims of his
own or struggle for such a position at
the sacrifice of the harmony of the
party. Therefore, if Mr. Johnson
should be nominated it will be at no
connivance of his or importunities
upon his part. The act of placing
him forward must be the unsolicited
action of the people so far as he is
concerned.
We are glad to see the day come to
Georgia again when a man speaks in
such terras to the sovereign will of
the people—when he, whose services
are so much desired by at least a
large portion of our fellow-citizens —
telling them that he is willing to
serve them only because they may
desire or may thrust it upon him in
their sovereign capacity. Such sen
timents as are uttered in this letter
breathes to the popular heart the old
spirit of the better days of our grand
old Commonwealth when aspirants
for gubernatorial honors would have
scorned to be going up and down the
State under various pretexts seeking
a nomination.
Is not this the kind of a man that
recommends himself to the confidence
of the people? Are not the people
willing to trust such a man? Can
they fail to appreciate the higher pa
triotism that wants to hear the will
of the people and cheerfully com
plies with the popular call when it
is made for his services? This is the
true spirit of Hersohel Y. Johnson.
He does not desire to be Governor
and would not thrust himself for
ward to seek a nomination as is the
improper custom of the present era
of Governor-seeking.
People of Georgia! lion. IT. V.
Johnson is before you—not as an as
pirant, but as a public servant ready
to do your wi’l when required of
him as Governor. It is with you
whether you will demand them or
not. There are no schemers or con
spiracies to force him upon you.
If he is to be your Governor, you will
have to nominate and .elect him.
He has done and said all he will say
and do in regard to the question. If
you prefer another, there is no Dem
ocrat in Georgia who will be more
resigned to your choice than Her
schel V. Johnson.
The intellectual peer of any man
in the State, with a political
record unblemished and a reputa
tion for honesty and integrity
untarnished ; possessing an admin
istrative ability unquestioned
and a firmness of purpose immova
ble in the right; unswerving in his
devotion to Democratic principles
and never faltering in the cause of
justice, Mr. Johnson combines in
all the attributes of transcendant
statesmanship, every quality requir
ed to make him a goverr u* honora
ble to Georgia and one tnat would
give prestige and influence to our
State government at home and
abroad.
It is .for the people to say whethe
we shall have such a Governor or
not. It is for them to decide wheth
er we shall secure the services of such
a man or select those of another who
may not be known to be equally well
qualified as we have known him to
to be by past experience.
THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.
The nomination by the Republican
party of Gov. R. B. Hayes, of Ohio,
for the Presidency, and Hon. W. A.
Wheeler, of New York, for the Vice-
Presidency, at Cincinnati, last week,
presents the Presidential situation in
a somewhat different light to what it
was previous to that time. It seems
to be tin general opinion of the
Democratic press that the action of
the Cincinnati convention makes it
imperative upon the Democracy to
put for a Presidential nominee who
will stand the best chance of carrying
New York, and that man, they
think, is Governor Tilden. Whether
such a contingency necessarily fol
lows or not we are not prepared to
say. Mr. Tilden is a very popular
man, and has characterized bis ad
ministration as Governor of bis State
as one of great energy in a stubborn
fight against corruption. This fact,
of itself, gives to Tilden great
strength, not only in New York, hut
"makes hiua powerful in othoi- fefcntoc.
The greatest objection to him is his
“hard money” proclivities and the
aversion of the people in certain sec
tions to the early resumption of spe
cie payments.
The Republican party has put for
ward a strong man. His war record
will have much to do in creating the
enthusiasm that will give strength
to his party. His refusal to accept
Congressional honors during the war,
remaining in military service, at tiie
pest of danger from a sense of duty,
will give him a prestige in the cam
paign that will give the Democracy
trouble to overcome; and it is well
that the Democracy should be very
careful in the selection of a ticket at
St. Louis—for Mr. Hays will un
doubtedly give us trouble. But if
the St. Louis convention will give us
a sound platform, unmistakable in
its utterances of correct principles,
ignoring the financial question as a
plank further than to remit it to the
wisdom and patriotism of Congress
to solve to the best interests of the
country, we have great hope that the
party of corruption which has so
long ruled to ruin may be defeated,
and the country restored to peace and
honest government.
It is very certain that the action of
the Cincinnati convention ha? great
ly strengthened the probability of
Mr. Tilden’s nomination. He is re
garded as the strongest man in New
York and able to sweep the State
with a handsome majority. He is
not our choice. We should prefer
Bayard or Eaton as the best types of
exalted statesmanship and distin
guished devotion to true Democracy;
but as the question of availability
will doubtless govern at St. Louis,
thr requisite following for-ft-WnmY
nation.
The St. Louis convention will meet
next Tuesday, and we can only hope
for the best and trust that greater
wisdom will prevail there than did
at Baltimore four years ago, when
the Democracy of the country was
sold out to a wing of the Republican
party to suffer disaster, defeat and
political disgrace. May we be saved
from another such sheltification.
The editor of The Express desires General
Y'oung to run, to vindicate his character. The
explanation given by The Express is proba
ble. and no doubt Gen. Young can make things
all right should he stand for Congress. We
are going into the race with Dabney as our
man, and if we are defeated we stand by the
nomination. We propose to make an open,
square fight, and take no underhanded holts.—
Rome Xeus.
That is the way to talk, News.
You are for Dabney and w r e are for
Young—both of them good men. If
you get pour choice in the nomina
tion, then it will he our choice in the
contest. There is no truer man than
Col. Dabney and none truer than
Gen. Young.
The press of Georgia is not by any
means au nit for Colquitt, and there
are but few advocating the nomina
tion of Mr. Jo’ ison. It will be re
membered, ho ver, that when Jos.
E. Brown was . st elected Governor
the press of Georgia was united in
their opposition to him, an Mr.
Johnson is very likely to be eeted
with a majority of the press against
him.’ So because Colquitt is backed
so strongly by so many newspapers,
it is no certain evidence that he will
be the successful man.
A Cartersvillian (an honest man,
by the way,) was in Atlanta Monday
morning, He witnessed the grand
entre of the Kirkwood mutual admi
ration society upon the Georgia rail
road train, anil saw them file out
from the car-shed headed by the
General. Johnson’s letter had ap
peared the previous day, and the mu
tuals, it is supposed, had come up to
see about it.
Well, now that the “circulaire,”
so-called, has been published, what
have the Colquitt organs to say about
it? Do they think Charles J. Jen
kins, Gen. W. T. Wofford and other
eminent men of Georgia would be
engaged in a conspiracy? Answer,
Constitution; answer, Commonwealth;
answer, Constitutionalist,; answer all
ye echoes of the Colquitt brigade!
“Thomas Kauck,” the Washing
ton correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution , under date of the 13th,
says • Gen. P. M. B. Young has been
in town for several days, and is look
ing as handsome as ever. He has
had a cordial reception at the hands
of his old friends and colleagues.
The Ellijay Courier does not under
stand what we mean when we say
the people of its section could not
well do otherwise than to support
Gen. Gartrell for Governor. We
mean that his efforts to secure justice
for them in the U. S. Court entitle
him to their ctmhdeneb. That’s all. 1
HOW THEY MAKE CAPITA 1,.
*
The traveling agent of the Atlanta
Commonwealth was in town last wees.
In a letter to ids paper from Adaiis
ville, our young friend writes as
follows:
The .Johnson feeling is confined mostly to
business men of the city of Cartersville, while,
upon careful inquiry, we failed to find a single
laboring man, a single farmer or man of the
people, who does not favor Colquitt, and is
willing to bet on him ten to one. This forces
the conclusion that the solid mass of the people
are lor that pure gentleman. Even Bartow,
the very stronghold of the CartersriUe Warwick,
we do not accede to Johnson. In the county
site we struck nearly as many Colquitt meu as
JoansonitC'. At Kingston we find two out of
every three men who are willing to concede
that portion of the county to Colquitt.
The writer of the foregoing para
graph was doubtless honest. He
may have met Colquitt men as he j
states; but when he undertakes to
say that Bartow is for Colquitt as
against Johnson ten to one, lie was
never more mistaken. This county
is for Johnson, and we should not
say so if we did not know it from the
representations cf the best men in
the county and our own observations.
To be candid, such paragraphs as the
above will injure Colquitt more than
they will do him good.
Mr. Colquitt will not get the nomi
nation on the war whoop policy of
his friends. Tie will not go in on a
oort of oavalri' charge—so to speak.
The true merits of himself ana Mr.
Johnson will be thoroughly discussed
between now and the second of Au
gust. _______
The Rome News is painfully be
hind in Georgia politics. It calmly
remarks in a very good naiured way
that it sees “no chance for a ground
swell” in favor of Johnson. It is
strange the placid editor of that pa
per doesn’t hear the ground rum
bling beneath his feet. Why, Ilood,
w here are your eyes and ears.
The mild and gentle spirited editor
of the Rome News says Gov. John
son has not better a friend than he
(the editor) is; but says he is “ut
terly opposed to dragging the old
war horse before the convention.”
But the Floyd county Democracy are
in favor of putting “the old war
horse” in harness again.
“The cloud no bigger than a man’s
hand” first seen in the east is rising
and spreading over the horizon of
Georgia. The lightning flashes and
the thunder rolls ominously over the
heads of the Colquitt brigade.
There! see how Styles dodges the
threatening bolts.
1 ♦ ♦ •
The withdrawal of Gen. Gartrell
from the gubernatorial race leaves
only Colquitt, Hardeman and James
in the scramble for the nomination.
In the meantime, we hope the people
will take up Johnson as the people’s
candidate.
We understand the Democracy of
Columbia county, handed over to
Colquitt last week by a few gentle
men, are about to rebel, and propose
calling a meeting of the party to ap-
The gubernators—Colquitt, Harde
man and James —are gubernating
around, extensively over the State.
Gartrell has gubernated out of the
race, and will take a resting spell for
the next time. He can’t gubernate
with the celebrated trio.
The Rome News publishes Mr.
Johnson’s letter, and says: “Lethim
rest on his well-earned laurels, and
not be mortified with defeat.” The
Colquitt organs seem to be very
much alarmed froout Mr. Johnson’s
“well-earned laurels.”
We have received an invitation to
attend the examination of the San
dersvilie high school at Sandersville,
Ga., on the 30th, where Col. Thomas
Hardeman will deliver the address.
We should be glad to be present.
A friend wants to know what we
mean by “apbernator.” We mean
that it is a man who travels over the
State for four years trying to work
up a four thousand dollar salary
situation for the next four years.
James says he will spend twenty
five thousand dollars to secure the
Fulton delegation. He can get it un
less the Kirkwood mutual admira
tion society puts down a few more
chips than that.
Gen. Gordon has been in Atlanta
all the week, laboring in and out of
season fur a Colquitt delegation from
Fulton. Perhaps the Kirkwood
mutual admiration society will con
trol the county.
Miss Eugenie .Speer makes herself
very happy occasionally by throwing
a few withered boquetsat us through
the columns of the Griffin News , a
paper published somewhere in Spald
ing county.
The Atlanta Constitution is omi
nously silent on the gubernatorial
question. If it will wait just ten days
it will see how the “cat will jump,”
and it can then get on “the strong
side.”
They are bothering Miss Eugenie
Speer, of the Griffin News , to know
who Wheeler is, and we have no
idea the innocent girl knows any
thing about him at all, at all.
The Home News thinks Colquitt
will have a majority vote on the first
ballot. Our old friend is certainly
very enthusiastic. Well, Itobin
Hood isn’t dead yet.
There is great commotion at Kirk
wood this week. The chief of the
mutuals is spending a few days with
them as a sort of inspirations to their
fatigued hearts.
Perhaps Gen. Gordon will get that
Fulton county delegation for Col
quitt. Why don’t the Johnson men
put out a ticket and get up the work
ing men fur it?
If the people can only nominate
Johnson, it will put an end to the
diabolical system of gubernating
over the State by anxious guberna*
tors hereafter.
THE EIGHT MEN FOR OFFICE.
An “Old Soldier,” writing to the
Atlanta Constitution from Putnam
county, favors tlie re-election of
Frank Leverett to the Legislature
from that county, and says:
Coming out of the war comparatively penni
less. he lias within the short space of ten years
ma<le by his own exertions a considerable for
tune. These are the kind of men Georgia
needs at this time in the Legislature, to bring
her out of financial .trouble. Men who cannot
ami will not make a living at home ought not
to be sent to the Legislature and trusted with
great financial questions. A man who does
not prosper in his private affairs will not make
much of a representative.
What is here said of Mr. Leverett,
as to his qualifications for public con
fidence, should he applied to all po
litical positions and official stations
from Governor down. Much de
pends upon the prosperity .of States
and communities by the manner in
which all financial affairs are con
ducted.
Colquitt and James are guoernating
this week around Atlanta, and Tom
Hardeman, God bless his good soul,
is gubernating somewhere else.
“The Smith-Colquitt alliance” is
what the combination for Governor
and Senator is called now, and there
are thousand who believe it.
We want all the gubernators to
study the able and dignified letter of
H. V. Johnson well. In it they will
find something to learn.
The Atlanta Colquitt organs seem
to be silent about that “eirculaire”
now. They are intensely devoted to
Federal politics.
We repeat, a few weeks ago Miss
Eugenie Speer, of the Griffin Net os ,
was a Johnson man. Will she deny
it?
Colquitt, Hardeman and James
are the most persistent gubernators
known to our State’s history.
Theie are but few papers for John
son, but that few have the spirit of
Warwick animating them.
That “cloud no bigger than a man’s
hand” is frightening the Colquitt
brigade fearfully.
The name of Charles J. Jenkins is
the first signed to that “secret circu
late.”
