MM.III Cartersville, July 13, 1876. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET. FOR PRESIDENT: HON. SAMUEL J. TILDEN, OF NE W YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: HON.THOS. A. HENDRICKS OF INDIANA. DEMOCRACY AND REFORM. There is no doubt but what the Democratic party of the country have the best prospect of beating the Rad ical party for President this year than they have had in sixteen years, if we may confide in the honesty and in telligence of the masses. The nom ination of Tilden is the best assur ance that a reform in the administra tion of the government will be the result of Democratic success. He brings into the campaign a prestige as a reformer none can dispute or gainsay. As the Governor of New York he has demonstrated that he haS the Drain and rrtrrwr and carry out the most practical re form. The civil department of the State was costing the people of New York annually about fifteen millions of dollars. That amount he has re duced to a little over eight millions. He has exhibited the honesty and will of Andrew Jackson in carrying out all measures in his administra tion as a reformer. Upon the other hand Mr. Hendricks is one of the best Democrats in the Union. He is popular in the West and his name gives great strength to the Demo cratic ticket. The expenditures in conducting the Federal Government now amount to the enormous sum of three hundred millions of dollars, and that in time of the most profound peace. Of course much of this money is squan dered and stolen by corrupt officials, for partisan and selfish purposes. Of fice-holders are growing rich while the people are yearly growing poorer and poorer and more oppressed. The hundreds of thousands of able-bodied men, skilled and unskilled artisans and mechanics, and laborers gener ally, who are now idle and unem ployed, see that the time for relief to depressed industry and enterprise should come. If the prestige of Til den as Governor of New York is any argument we may expect that, with him as President, the expenses of the Federal Government may be re duced to at least one-half, if not more. Buchanan was severely condemned for expending far less than one hun dred millions of money. It is very certain Mr. Tilden, with a popula tion a little over forty millions will not require over fifty per cent, more in the administration of the govern ment than Buchanan did. One hundred and fifty millions of dollars taken from the shoulders of an overtaxed people will have the effect of greatly lightening the bur dens of taxation, and this thought alone if fairly impressed on the pop ular mind \vill!itself arouse great en thusiasm for the Democratic ticket, to say nothing of other eyils to be removed through the agency of a Democratic administration of reform in the government mii iions and unrequited labor struggling for existence, it seems to us will rise up like a tornado and strike from power the men who have ruled only to plunder and oppress a free people. “Democracy and reform” should be the watchword of every freeman in this land. They should be sounded in the ears of the people until they understand its full meaning and im port and be influenced to vote accord ingly. “Democracy and reform” should be inscribed on the banners of the party everywhere and displayed upon the outer walls of the citadel of liberty, so that the people every where shall rally to the cause of hon est government and future prosper tv THE PRIMARY MEETINGS. The primary meetings held so far have exhibited but little interest comparatively speaking, upon the part of the people. So far as we have observed, we have not noticed a sin gle meeting voting as high as five hundred. The truth is the people do not take the interest they should in politics, which they ieave to a few to manipulate as they please. These, of course, are generally those living in the towns or in convenient distance of them, and their friends. A large majority of tiiese meetings have been managed to the interest of Gen. Colquitt, whose forces over the State have been in process of organ ization for four years. With four years of labor, and as a representa tive granger, a temperance man and a prominent member of a strong church, Gen. Colquitt would have been indeed a weak man had he not been able to have organized his forces for effective work in the end. In the case of Mr. Johnson he makes a far better showing according to time. In four weeks lie has se cured quite a good show of delegates and greatly alarmed the friends of Colquitt. Indeed it may be said that no set of men were ever more alarmed than they have been. I kited States Army. —The fol lowing statement shows the distribu tion of the United States army throughout the country—there being at present in the army 26,979 troops located as follows: Poin?- 7 cmT" 8 , . the detacl 'ment at West Texas’ r ? ,n the territ >ries; 3,818 in in the’ 111 6r S ° Uthorn States, while the,earf ,n (1 01, r agai “ st thc in all 2 011 tV Ge “' Cr °° k ° Dly C™ o ; making a 12,913.

Columbia will probably have two delegations, one for John son. To show the unfairness of Col quitt’s friends ihe.y place Harris county as only 2 tor Hardeman, whereas she is entitled to 4 votes. Of the remaining counties John son will probably carry Bartow, 4; Floyd, 4; Chattooga, 2; Richmond, 6; Elbert, 2; Lincoln, 2; Wilkes, 4 Green, 4; Hancock, 4; Glasscock, 2; Burke, 16; Washington 4.

Pike 2, Pulaski 4, Taylor 2, Dooly A Dodge 2, Telfair 2, Wilkinsoir 2, Twiggs 2, Tatnali 2, Laurens 2; making in all, 62. A majority of the votes of the con vention is 176. Give Colquitt one half of the 76 votes unaccounted for in the above estimate and he will lack 24 votes of having the majority. Give him the entire 76 votes and he will lack 42 votes of having tne nec essary two-thirds. THE BUTTOCK. BONDS. We understand Col. R. A. Alston is to be a candidate for the Legisla ture from DeKalb county. He is one of Colquitt’s gromsmen. His views, therefore, on the bond question are significant. The following extracts from a correspondence between Col. Alston and H. I. Kimball will indi cate the meaning of Col. Alston’s candidacy for the Legislature. Read the following : Extract from a letter of 11. I Kim ball to Col. R. A. Alston. * * “I believe what you say and feel that you are my friend.” “You know that I think the policy of re pudiation has been a curse to the State.” Extracts from a reply oi uoi. it. a. Alston to H. I. Kimball: “I beg leave to reply with the same frank ness and to state to you that I am fully iu accord with your views.” * * * “Your return to Georgia and the dignified good sense that charac terized every movement you made while you were here has done as much if not more, than all else to restore the equilibrium of public jus tice. The cry of Bullock bonds and fraudulent bond holders no longer has proven to frighten. * * * It is now generally conceded that these bonds instead of being utterly repu diated as they now are ought to have a hearing but as yet nobody has been bold enough who had any char acter to lose to bell the cat. There is only one way in which the matter can be approached with any possible hope of success and it is needless to say that you are the only man living that can do it. ****** * P.S. lam solicited by quite a number of my friends in this district to run for Congress. I feel very sure of being able to make the trip, but I am undecided in view of the present •Whether to make the effort for Con gress, or whether I could not be of more service to my State by going to the Legislature.” Isn t The Cartersville Express unneces sarily bitter in some of its political para graphs ? It seems to us that a preference for a candidate can De expressed emphatically and effectually without impugning the' motives that lead other people to prefer someone else. It may he that Tiie Express will have to sup port General Colquitt for Governor.— Savannah Xeu'B. We do not know that we shall have to support any man for Governor. If Mr. Johnson should be nominated by any trick or scheme dishonorable, we should not support him. While we are loyal to party organization on proper principles, we do not intend to be a slave to that organization after it has ceased to fairly express the pbpular will. REMOVAL OF THE STATE CAPITOi.. There lias been said a great deal about the return of the State capitol to Milledgeville. Much of what is said arises * more from predjudice than otherwise. We did not vote for the removal of the capitol from Milledgville to Atlanta, nor did a majority of the citizens of Atlanta vote lor it.' We have never endorsed the manner and means of the remov al. It was a radical trick which we never did nor never will approve of, whether it reflected the will of the people or not. For these reasons we are willing that the removal of the State capitol be submitted to the people as a distinct question in order that it may he for ever settled, and that vve may hear no more of it. No Georgian who would see the will of the people carried out, can ohject to a fair and honest expression at the ballot-box on this subject. For one we are will ing that the subject may be so tested and decided. But, as an individual, we are in favor, most decidedly, that the capi tol shall remain where it is. We should vote that way whenever the test is to be made; and if the people should decide differently we should submit as gracefully and peacefully as possible to the edict of the people. AAiUeGp;villa is too much uU t OF tne way for a State capitol, [and Atlanta as a railroad point is the central focus of the State. It is said, however, there is too much corruption prac ticed in Atlanta. In these days of modern politics, when all measures are carried by strategy and chicaney legislation in Atlanta is no more subject to such conti ugenceies than it would be in Milledegville or any other town or city in Georgia. The so called “progressive ideas of the present generation” would reach Milledgeville as effectively as it would Atlanta, and we could ex pect no diminution of corruption by a removal of the capitol back to Milledgeville. The capitol of a State should al ways be near the central focus—upon the high road of rapid intelligence— where the people are more apt to congregate and exchange views on the public questions of the day—es pecially in these times when trick ery and demagogueism are the requi site for political success. Such schemes are more easily detected at j such a place as Atlanta than they | would be in any out-of-the-way place like Milledgeville. More people go | to Atlanta and always will, and where “the people most do congre gate” there we must understand that the schemes of dishonest men may be more readily discovered. In conclusion, we have this to say: While we are always willing to sub mit to the voice of the people when fairly expressed, we are willing the people shall be heard in regard to the removal of the capitol. If they pre fer Milledgeville, then vve shall he content; if they prefer Atlanta, we rill it! Ibe gicvtisd. VV r c ..ly that this capitol question may be settled and kept out of politics. .OBJECTIONS AGAINST COLQUITT. That there is a ring established to put Colquitt in office in defiance of popular will is apparent. Why the tirade against the “circular letter” addressed to Gov. Johnson, and why the frantic appeals to him to with dmsv V* It is a little singular that 11. I. Kimball should announce himself for Colquitt; that Alston, Grady, Styles and ail others who seem fa vorable to the payment of the illegal bonds should be so persistent in his behalf. Hunt up the investigation of the State road lease and read Kim ball and Alston’s letter to one an other. It is pertinent to enquire if it as true that Gen. Colquitt promised Gov, Smith not to appoint certain men to office, and if upon that prom ise Gov. Smith has not used ail his influence in Colquitt’s favor, All his appointees are certainly in favor of Colquitt. Gen. Gordon, J; W. Murphy, the assistant treasurer of the State, Jos. ■Ci* -Diu W 11, cell iuicvcoiod if) the IgHSG of convicts ju*t obtained, are all Col quitt men. It would seem that the Kirkwood mutual admiration so ciety are to divide out the State, con victs and all. Is not one of delegates from DeKalb to be Solicitor General ? The present canvass will result in this: Colquitt is put forward as the chosen successor of Gov. Smith to keep his pets in officeas far as possible and give place to the Kirkwood mu tual admiration society, and to up hold Atlanta. If he is nominated by a bare majority an independent candi date will be run and elected, and there will come up an overwhelming de mand from the people for a constitu tional convention to change the con stitution and lop off the great and increasing power of the Governo Colquitt has been galvanized by the pow r er of the executive. If he is elected what is to liinuer him from doing the same thing by someone he chooses as his successor? Let the people determine the mat ter, and if the convention does not carry out the will of the people an appeal to them at the ballot-box may be made. A Kentucky lady writing to us says: “I should not trouble you with any more words I suppose, but I would like to tell you how muck I appreciate your valuable paper, and your earnest endeavors to advance the in terests of your town and county. I consider it an honor to thc State in general , and Cartersvillc in particular , and lam also glad to tell you that I think after a while, I cau get you some good subscribers from this place. A great many here read my paper, and all who do say that it is every wny equal to the Courier ■Journal. I say this to you because I wanted you to know that you are appreciated here , as well as elsewhere.” While we do not protend to be any thing like the Courier-Journal , we nevertheless feel pleased to learn of such enthusiastic 'comments iu praise of Tiie Express THE GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGN. The contest for the gubernatorial nomination which has been pretty hot for nearly four years will soon be ended. In these four years Gen. Colquitt, Col. Hardeman and Mr. James have been conspieiously be fore the Democratic party for the coveted distinction, and present indi cations point to Gen. Colquitt as the winning man and, the result has proven that his friends have been most effective in their organization and operations. Col. Hardeman comes next in the number of his sup porters ; and although he and his friends have been active and persist ent, they have lagged far behind Colquitt and his friends. Mr. James has, at this writing succeeded in se curing tne delegation from one coun ty which was won in a hard contest with Colquitt for Fulton, in which struggle money nor effort were spared upon either side to win the victory. Th is con test, we repeat,with mortifica iton has been going on for four years, a precedent in political aspiration and effort for a nomination never before known in the history of Georgia. This contest of four years for a nomination, in which time the par ticipants under all sorts of pretexts, have traversed nearly theentireState presents to the people of Georgia a preceecient in n poHtioai <M-ramble we hoped might be rebuked at the ballot-box and set aside with indig nation as a specie of partisan candi dacy they could not endorse or toler ate, and as having a baneful effect upon the political morals of the young men of the country. The effect of this long candidacy has re sulted in considerable bitterness of feeling* in 'the Democratic ranks, which has become sufficienty obsti nate to render a cordial support to either of the gentlemen who may be nominated almost impossible. These antagonistic elements in the party may eventuate in the distinction or division of the Democratic forces and finally end in the defeat of the party in the future by increased contention engendered and encour aged hv the successful scramble of either of these gubernators. If Colquitt, Hardeman or James shall be nominated, we may expect that in less than ninety days after inauguration there will be a half a dozen candidates for Governor out on the tramp over the State. In the better and purer days of Georgia, no man could have been nominated for any office who made any effort in advance to secure a nomination cf any importance. It is this thing we wish to see the peo ple of Georgia rebuke. GRAND DAY IN GEORGIA. Some editors, as well as other men, have no fixed principles nor well defined ideas. The Savannah News says: In April Col. Raudall, of the Augusta Con stitutitutionalist, said it would lie a grand day for Georgia were Herschell V. Johnson made Governor, ajiJjiow lie thijiks the day wouldn’t be altogether so grand. But godtf* ness gracious! if an editor is to be allowed no latitude for eloquence, the country might as well collapse. The tone and course of the Constitu tionalist is just to the contrary with the above paragraph. It thinks it would he a bad thing for Mr. John son to be Governor now. We thought Randall a man of more decided ojiinion, but we regret our mistake. What reliance can he placed in the opinions of ?i newspaper that can tackle around in so short a time. We know of another editor who was of similar of inion, but now iie is for Colquitt. We regret to say it, but the political utterances of some men are not worth tiie paper they are written on. Rev 7 . Col. Samuel Bard, M. D., L. L. D., D. I). S., ex-postmaster, and once the chief of the Idahoes, and now editor of the ?dobile Campaign Globe , after carefully considering the national platform, has decided it to be his duty to the South, as well as the whole country, to sustain Tilden and Hendricks in his paper and on the stump. There has been a great deal said about the Atlanta primary election. a onrofui survey of the field of con flict, and from conversations with the bar men of the city, we learn that the friends of Colquitt and Jatnes re spectively vied with each other in the expenditure of ready cash for pa triotic whisky wherewith to enthuse the voters. Nothwithstandiiig the Democracy of Mclntosh county, in their recent meeting, sustained a uaiioju “that the delegates go to the convention uninstructed,” the Atlanta Constitu tion couuts it two for Colquitt. Rut | this is about the way the Colquitt movement has beeu conducted all the while. The Colquitt men, just now, are exceedingly concerned about the rep utation of H. V. Johnson, They are very anxious for him to retire from the gubernatorial race—and that, too, in the face of the fact that they are certain of Colquitt’s nomination. The negro Haywood Grant, who is to be bung in Rome to-morrow, con fesses to the killing of four men and burning half a dozen -houses. He burnt the store at Plainville several months ago. Gen, Colquitt is not nominated yet, nor is it certain he will be. He has not over seventy-five delegates instructed for him, and it required 170 for a majority. If Colquitt is going to be nomina ted any how, as his over-zealous friends claims, why is it they are so anxious for Johnson to retire? What has become of the State agri cultural society? Was it for the want of funds that a fair could not be held this year? r I he members of the Kirkwood mu tual admiration society are jubilant just now. THE ATLANTA SUNDAY TELEGRAM After a brief existence, it seems that this crisp and readable paper has succumbed to the evitable—gone the way of many good papers that have not been appreciated. 11. W. Grady, its editor, is a young man of trap.-Cendant genius. Ills writings are vived, picturesque and pleasing. We have always read his produc tions with a peculiar interest even when we disagreed with the views and opinions advanced. The Tele gram was a paper that would have filled an important niche in Geor gia journalism and would have added much spirit of our State press. We are only sorry, notwithstanding our many disagreements with Grady that his paper lias ceased its exis tence. A natural inquiry comes up why is Ex-Gov. Brown so anxious to pull Governor Johnson down and put Colquitt in ! Why can’t we have a State fair this year? What’s the matter, farm ers of Georgia ?
