Cartersville, June 29, 1876.
THE WAR UPON GEN. YOUNG.
The Rome Conner, of last Satur
day, delivered itself of another one
of its characteristic diatribes against
Gen. Young in regard to the Wash
ington real estate pool. As Genera
Y r oung has gone in person before the
House committee of Congress, of
w hich Mr. Glover is chairman, and
exonerated himself from all blame, a
fact which should have been known
to the editor and was known to him,
for The Express furnished him the
information, it is readily understood
that the war of the Courier upon
Gen. Young proceeds from blind per
sonal prejudice, and not from a de
sire to vindicate the truth. In all of
its assaults the Courier has failed to
produce a single bit of evidence of
the truth of the infamous charge
which sprung from a Radical source,
from a man not under oath, with the
view of implicating an honest South
ern Democrat, doubtless because he
was a brave soldier of the Confeder
ate cause, in a conspiracy to defraud
the government.
The charge has never been made a
serious matter against Gen. Young
except by the Rome Courier, and
when the statement was made from
Washington of Gen. Young’s inno
cence that paper lias not exiiibited
the candor and love of truth and
justice to make the amende honorable ;
did not even state that such informa
tion was in his possession. We are
thus particular to show the animus
by which the editor is actuated in his
peisonal war upon Gen. Young. The
article in The Express of last
week contained such a fair excul
pation of Gen. Young that the Cou
rier declined to discuss that question,
but “went ofl” in a tandem about the
“salary grab,” and made that the
pretext of its pitiful diatribe, in order
to excite prejudice in a community
where Gen. Young has many friends
who feel under many and lasting ob
ligations to him for his indefatigable
efforts to advance the local interests
of that town while in Congress, and
which he would do again were he in
Congress.
The article of the Courier criticising
Gen. Young very severely week be
fore last, has been copied into the
Dalton Citizen at the instigation, w T e
are informed, of a personal enemy
of that gentleman. We have enclos
ed the article in The Express of last
week to the editor of the Citizen with
the request that he re-publish it in
order that justice, which the editor
cannot refuse to grant, may be done.
The Courier had not the magnanimi
ty to give both sides, which exhib
its the purpose of its war upon Gen.
Young 1 .
Thu samp eYemorit that gave tliis
Congressional district so much
trouble tw 7 o years ago are at
work to break down Gen. Young.
The purposes of these men are un
derstood. With their influence lost
upon the popular mind they are
using the name of Col. W. H. Dab
ney for the purpose of effecting their
objects. That Col. Dabney is a good
man and of the highest integrity
none can doubt who knows him. If
he should he nominated fairly he
will be warmly supported, but it his
name is used to advance the ulterior
purposes of the element referred to
their plans will and shall be exposed
and their ends defeated if there is the
proper spirit in the popular senti
ment to do so.
If Gen. Young is presented for
Congress and is defeated by Col.
Dabney in the nomination upon prin
ciple, none will support him more
cordially thart the friends of General
Young, but wire-workers and trick
sters shall not use him for the pur
pose of injuring tiie reputation of
Gen. Young with impunity. There
the fight will come as bitter as they
want it, and their purposes held up
to popular condemnation.
TIIE GEORGIY DAIRY PRESS.
We propose to briefly give, as
nearly as we can, the status of the
newspapers of the State on the gu
bernatorial question:
The Augusta papers are divided -
The Chronicle and Sentinel is in favor
of Johnson and is putting in good
licks for him. The Constitutionalist,
pretermitting for the time its Jeffer
sonian proclivities, is solidly for Col
quitt.
The Savannah News, notwith
standing the gubernatorial contest is
being decided now, is as dumb as an
oyster on that issue.
The Macon Telegraph, some time
ago, declared for Hardeman, hut if
it Is doing anything for him nobody
knows it.
The Columbus papers—the Enqui
rer and the Sun —are going it for
Colquitt.
The Atlanta papers are mixed.
The Commonwealth is making a gal
lant fight for the hero of Olustee.
Tiie Times is distressingly dumb, al
though its editor is a Johnson man.
In the contest the paper is absolutely
too negative in such a crisis as this.
The Constitution —well, we scarcely
know what to say ot it. At one
time it was supposed to lean to
James; at another it seemed to be
for Smith; at another it was Col
quitiish in its tendencies. For two
weeks previous to the Fulton prima
ry election it became ominously si
lent on the great question. James’
success last Saturday has warmed it
ud to very complimentary writing
for that gentleman.
The Griffin JVews, although Miss
Eugeme Speer was a Johnson girl
some time ago, is now a blatant echo
for Colqnitt.
Jhe little Rome News is puttering
along, in an innocent way, for Col
quitt.
THE SMITH-COLQUITT At.RI.vNCK.
For weeks we have had whispers
of a combination between the friends
of Gov. Smith and Gen. Colquitt,
entered into since the first declined
to run for Governor. No one seems
to know exactly how and when the
alliance was formed. It is well
known, however, that Smith and
Colquitt were not on good terms a
few months ago, and it is known,
also, that they are now on good
terms, and that Smith is for Colquitt
for Governor; and the other part of
the alliance is said to be that Gov.
Smith is to he the successor of Sena
tor Norwood by the aid of the Col
quitt element if that is successful in
the gubernatorial race. Further,
certain offices are to be distributed to
certain parties, who, heretofore, were
zealous Smith men for Governor, hut
are now lively for Colquitt. This is
a mere glimmering of what is said to
he the Smith-Colquitt alliance —of the
great political ring that iias its head
quarters in the State house and a
branch of its business at Kirkwood.
These are a few indications of this
alliance seen even by the casual ob
server. Among others we note that
all the leading men and newspapers
who were for Smith for Governor
are now leaders of the Colquitt
movement. There are only a few
exceptions. Another evidence is seen
in the fact that certain newpapers that
criticised the Governor severely have
ceasid their war upon him. Notable
among these are the Albany News
and the Atlanta Commonwealth, not
withstanding the fact tliat the cul
pability of Gov. Smith in regard to
certain points exists with all the
force now that it did at tho time
these papers were fighting him.
The News, however, has changed
hands, and so has the Commonwealth
changed its editor—he who then ed
ited, the the former is now editing
the latter.
As the chief champion of Colquitt,
Coi. Carey W. Styles was one of the
gentlemen of the press who was se
verest in hi 4 ?? criticism of the Gov
ernor before his declension, in the
Albany News. Coming to the Com
monwealth, after the declension of
Smith, a paper that daily poured hot
snot into the State administration,
why is it that the Commonwealth has
become so silent upon the shortcom
ings of his Excellency unless there
is some sort of special sympathy ex
isting now between the Smith and
Colquitt elements in regard to the
pending campaign. It all may mean
nothing or it may not, and yet there
stands the fact that the war upon
Gov. Smith’s administration, espe
cially in reference to the treasury
troubles, has ceased, and that all are
combined in favor of Colquitt.
We say all this may mean nothing;
hut the people who think and note
passing events, will have opinions
and these they will express in some
form, and hence we daily hear,
wherever one goes in tiie State, some
thing of the Smith-Colquitt alliance
—an alliance that greatly fears and
trembles at the thought that Ex-
Gov. Johnson is herore the people to
accept a nomination if tendered.
The contest, therefore, as we view it,
is between this great combination of
politicians and office-seekers, under
the guide of the Smith-Colquitt al
liance, and the people who, left to
themselves as we verily believe, pre
fer Herschel V. Johnson as their
next Governor.
THE CORQUITT GAME IN ATLANTA
SATURDAY.
There were some had Colquitt rfien
in Atlanta last Saturday operating
fraudulently in the primary election
for delegates to the State convention.
We do not believe Gen. Colquitt had
anything to do with the trick at
tempted to be played on the James
men. To explain this unmitigated
;ieceof rascality, we will state that
the following was the James’ ticket:
FULTON COUNTY TICKET.
For Governor— JOHN 11. JAMES.
The following gentlemen have
been selected as Delegates and Alter
nates to the Nominating Convention
next Saturday, the 24th inst., and
will vote for John H. James :
DELEGATES.
J. 11. McCaslin, Samuel Hape,
ii. M. Farrar, Samuel Weil,
Dr. J. S. Pemberton, Thos. Knight, j
ALTERNATES.
G. W. Terry, W. It. Riggers, ‘
W. H. Jatterson, W. R. Joyner,
W. G. Garrett, J. W. English.
But tiie Colquitt men actuated by
desperation prompting them to fraud |
got up the following ticket printed j
on the same kind of paper and with
the same style of types:
FULTON COUNTY TICKET.
For Governor —J OH N 11. JAMES.
Tho following gentlemen have
been selected as Delegates and alter
nates to the Gubernatorial Nomina
ting Convention next Saturday, the
24th instant, and will vote for John
11. James:
DELEGATES.
Clark Howell, G. H. Grambling,
Henry Jackson, I). P. Hill,
Anthony Morphy, J. R. Wylie.
ALTERNATES.
Campbell Wallace, Aaron Haas,
Dr. C. Pinckney, ,J. F. Alexander,
R. C. Mitchell, M. E. Maher.
The trick in the above game is
that the name of James was put at
the head of the Colquitt delegates,
and was intended to deceive illiter
ate but honest men in the expres
sion of their votes. Such conduct
was an unmitigated piece of rascali
ty that goes to prove that the friends
of Colquitt are determined to carry
his nomination by the most desper
ate means. It is hardly possible the
Democratic party of Georgia will en
dorse such fraud at the ballot-box.
James vs. Colquitt, in Atlanta, last
Saturday, was a hotly contested
fight for the gubernatorial delegation
lrom Fulton. Two or three weeks
ago the" Colquitt men of the “Gate
City” were confident of crrrying the
county for their favorite. The effect
of this defeat of what is believed by
many to be the Smith-Colquitt alli
ance, will doubtless injure Colquitt’s
chances for a nomination. The
Kirkwood mutual admiration socie
ty is not all-powerful even in
Atlanta.
THE BARTOW DEMOCRACY.
The county meeting called here to
select delegates to - the State conven
tion, has been put off until the 29th
of- July for the purpose of giving the
farmers the chance to be here in
force at that meeting. By that time j
their crops will have been laid by
and all will be at leisurjmore or less, j
and will have but little excuse for
no attending.
In this matter, it is very desirable
that the voice of the people shall he
heard. It is a matter in whicn the
people—the tax-payers—are chiefly
interested. It is they who sustain
and keep going the wheels of gov
ernment upon their shoulders; as
tax-payers and consumers,upon them
rest the burdens of government. All
the taxes of the State are paid by those
who dig the ground and make the
crops, and the crops only bring the
money to all classes of business men
and artisans. Unless the farmer suc
ceeds, nobody else can prosper. If
government is not in the interest of
the agricultural element of the coun
try, it is opposed to all prosperity.
The agricultural interests of the coun
try, therefore are the interests that
all classes depend upon the last
analysis of material prosperity upon
is the prosperity of agrieuftural pur
suits.
It is for these reasons it is desirable
that the agricultural people should
he, in the main, the controlling ele
ment in our politics, both State and
National. It is for these reasons that
the voice of the masses should be
heard in all our political assemblies.
It is the main reason why the meet
ing of the Bartow county Democracy
has been put off until the 29th of July
so that the ppople could he here to
speak for themselves. It is lioped,
therefore, tliat every farmer, me
chanic and business man of every
grade will feel sufficient interest in
the political affairs of the county
to spend one day to subserve the
ends of patriotism.
Let no Democrat he away from
the meeting here on the 29th of July
proximo.
-
THE FULTON PRIMARY ELECTION.
The primary election in Fulton
county last Saturday for cleiegates to
the State Convention was one of the
disgraceful occurences that carry with
them their condemnation, sufficient
to excite the scorn and indignation
of every true Democrat in Georgia.
For several days the preparation and
excitement for the occasion had been
very great. On Thursday and Fri
day every vehicle in the city had
been employed to transport voters to
the polls. These were emblazoned
with the names of Colquitt and
James about equally divided, and
gave a free ride to all voters to the
polls.
The bar rooms were all chartered,
and placarded with so many fine
drinks for James or Colquitt, and
this, too, in the face of tiie fact that
James and Colquitt have attended
every Sunday school and temperance
celebration in the State for four years
Wlltt n view or'securing- (liene innoti
ences for themselves in the race for
Governor. This is certainly a sad
commentary when the pillars of the
church have employed not by them
selves personally hut through their
friends the bar rooms of a great city
to advance their political aspirations.
If the Christian people of Georgia are
prepared to endorse such a plan of
salvation for Christian gentlemen,
shining light in the Church, we shall
he surprised,
Iu the mean-time the friends of
Johnson are presenting his claims
quietly and upon principle, and
basing those claims upon his emi
nent statesmanship and distinguish
ed public services which have given
a prestige enjoyed by hut few men
in Georgia.
i -
In a card to the public, pulished in
the Atlanta papers,Gen. Colquitt says
certain publications in the newspa
pers of Atlanta, in reference to the
use of liquor in the late canvass are
thought by his friends to require
some notice. He states that he never
contributed one cent for this purpose
or anyother electioneering purpose,
either directly or indirectly. What
i ever may have been done in thi
! matter was without his knowledge
I and contrary to his well known
! wishes.
Mr. A. IT. Cox, of LaGrange, was
married to Miss Tallulah Harmon,
of Atlanta. The wedding was quiet,
but the marriage was a happy one,
if the bride possesses all the amiable
qualities of head and heart ascribed
to her. This we do not doubt as
our friend Cox could not have been
so won. We can only wiMiAtr. C<>\%
whom we regard qs one of tiie most
talented young men in the State, all
the happiness and prosperity that
fall iti the way of wedded happiness.
We received a postal card from At
lanta Tuesday morning which read
as follows:
“The election hero Saturday was disgraceful
to l>oth sides. The bogus bond ring voted for
Colquitt— 11. I. Kimball Lochrane, id eat. The’
people are disgusted. Johnson is the next
Governor of Georgia. Let Ilarlow do her duty
and the battle is won. Hurah for Johnson.”
Bartow will certainly do her duty.
Our people are also disgusted with
the scramble of the gubernators.
Fraud ! fraud !! fraud !!! bogus
tickets are the weapons of the Col
quitt men when they can use them.
Remember, people of Georgia, the
the bogus tickets attempted to be im
posed upon honest men in Atlanta
last week. And these are the men
to be associated with the Colquitt ad
ministration.
bet every Democrat in Bartow
county attend the county meeting
here on the 29th of July. Rally
Johnson men !
An attempt will be made to secure
opposition delegates *o Johnson to
the State convention from Bartow,
Kow, let the people strike out for
Johnson for Governor and win a vic
tory f o f themselves.
THE EXPRESS.
Perhaps there is r.o paper in Geor
gia, published in as small a plate as
Cartersville, that lias increased so
rapidly in circulation, and this, too,
without any drumming on tho part
of the proprietor or any one else ex
cept the friends of the paper. On
the second of December last, we pub
lished our first issue of the paper to
a patronage of about three hundred
names. In fact, tiie paper was vir
tually “played out,” and without
capital, and in the midst of the most
stringent times the circulation has
been increased to eight hundred and
forty, far above the average circula
tion of country newspapers in the
South.
It is true, we have been sending
the paper to a great many county men
on time, relying upon their promise
to pay us at harvest. To do this we
have passed through a severe ordeal,
and nothing less than the most rigid
economy would have enabled us to
keep our banner floating'to this time.
We are now greatly needing money
and call upon our friends to aid us.
Our claims are entitled to prompt
consideration, and we hope will re
ceive it. We do not want to beg for
what is now due us, and don’t in
tend to do so, because we believe our
subscribers who have not paid up
will do so at once.
Will our friends stand by The Ex
press as they should and enable us
to present the best weekly journal in
Cherokee Georgia? Let every man
answer for himself by paying up.
That bogus ticket, four thousand
of which were printed for the Fulton
primary election, shows the means
by which the Colquitt brigade hope
to win the fight, not only in Atlanta
but all over the State where they can
practice fraud.
Let the Bartow Democracy speak
out their sentiments on the 29th
proximo. If they are for Johnson
let them he here and say so. If they
are for Colquitt let them be here and
say so. If they are for any other
candidate let them send that sort of a
delegation.
Bartow county is for Johnson, ac
cording to Willingham. Augusta
Constitutionalist.
Bartow county is for Johnson, ac
cording to the expressed sentiments
of the people.
Gen. John B. Gordon, United
States Senator, has been at home for
two weeks aiding the Smith-Colquitt
alliance. The last from him was a
dispatch to the Griffin News over his
own signature, giving the news from
from Muscogee, Dougherty, Lee and
Clark county meetings.
Muscogee, Dougherty, Lee and
Clark counties send Colquitt dele
gates. Gen. Colquitt was partly
raised in Columbus, and that is tho
home of Governor Smith. He re
sided in Dougherty for a number of
| years, and Lee adjoins Dougherty.
—-/ ■•'Vnqtt atlfomte and
Kirkwood mutual nointraflou arimrty
failed in the attempt to practice fraud
by bogus tickets in the Fulton pri
mary election.
The Gainesville Fogle says: “Let
Colquitt be nominated by acclima
tion.” If the General is not already
acclimated, we don’t see how a nom
ination will do it.
|§The friends of Gen. Colquitt claim
ed six hundred majority in Fulton
until Saturday last, and the contest
shows a majority of 245 against him.
The Smith-Colquitt alliance about
Atlanta hope to succeed by printing
bogus tickets, thus deceiving the il
literate or careless voter.
The Smith-Colquitt alliance, with
tiie aid of the Kirkwood mutual ad
miration society, failed to carry At

mil Apolitical campaign of ?S7f>, which In

supremacy of tnose principles which are vital
to the prosperity of the public, and essential
to the well-being of the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
people in Georgia and Florida will elect new’

promises to be unusually vigorous, and there
is a probability that for the lirst time since the
war, the people of that Radical-ridden State
will elect a Democratic State Government. In
tlie.se campaigns the people are deeply inter
ested; and every intelligent citizen, who Ims
tiie welfare ol liis country and his section at

tail of redemption and leform that is now going
on.
To this end lie should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the Savunuali Morning News,

pronounced opinions and tearless in their ex
press ion; a paper that is recognized every
where as the best daily in the South. Its edi
