Cartersville, July 27, 1876.
CALX OF THE BEMOCRATIC EXECU
TIVE COMMITTEE.
Cartersville, Ga , July, 23,1876.
The Democratic Executive Committee of the
Seventh Congressional District will convene
in the city of Cartersville, on the sth of August
1876, to attend to important business. It is
hoped every member will be present.
Jonx W. Wofford.
Chairman.
THE EXPRESS AND GEN. COLQUITT.
There is a good deal of balderdash
engaged in by a few of our contem
poraries in regard to The Express
and Gen. Colquitt.
The LaGrange Reporter says “Mr.
Willingham of the Cartersville Ex- 1
press is fighting Gen. Colquitt as
bitterly as he formerly fought Bul
lock. From what he says his readers
cannot hut infer that Colquitt is a
man totally devoid of principle, and
that he has already, even before his
nomination, bartered away many of
the offices which he will have power
to provided he is elected.”
The Sparta Times and Planter says:
“The ‘other paper’ that insists upon
the nomination of Herschel V. John
son_the Cartersville Express —was
fairly bristling with blunted arrows
last week, and they all pointed in
tiffc direction of the people’s choice
for Governor. The most preposter
ous charges are indirectly brought
out, and the most unreasonable and
ridiculous combinations are hinted
at.”
The Columbus Times quotes what
it considers a threat from the Rome
Courier that Gen. Colquitt will be
opposed by an independent, and
says: “The Cartersville Express is
on the same tack editorially, and it
publishes a communication declaring
‘if Colquitt is nominated, it will not
be by the will of a majority of the
people. Look out for hot times this
fall, if the will of the people is dis
regarded by the August Convention.
The scales are being removed from
the eyes of the people; conventions
are becoming odious to them.' ”
We might a number of par
agraphs from other papers endeavor
ing to show that The Express has
declared in advance for an independ
ent candidate for Governor in the
event of Gen. Colquitt’s nomination,
and also to show that we have abused
and done great injustice to “the hero
of Olustee.”
In reply to the Reporter we have
only to say we have never fought
Gen. Colquitt as “a naked question,”
or per se, and that no man can “in
ler” from anything we have said, by
any fair construction of it. that “Col
quitt is a man totally devoid of
principle,” for the reason we believe
nothing of the sort.
'.n,„ teA rrvA C..
the limes and Planter , has made no
charges against Gen. Colquitt. The
“other paper” hai merely referred
to certain things that are talked
about and believed by many of an
existing alliance to secure his nomi
nation.
The Columbus limes is mistaken
in savins wo aw on me “tack” for
an independent candidate. Our ef
forts have been made to avoid that
evil. We have said there is a strong
disposition extant to run an indepen
dent candidate for Governor.
Now, all of these flings at The
Express are harmless and have no
effect in changing our opinion of cer
tain things that have transpired or
are transpiring. We honestly be
lieve that the great mass of the peo
ple of Georgia—we mean the great
majority—are for Johnson for Gov
ernor; but political conventions are
so managed these days that it is diffi
cult to secure the true expression of
the people, that they have become
disgusted with them and will not at
tend. We have no idea that three
hundred voters have attended a doz
en county meetings yet held.
But when one goes out among*the
people so fur as we have observed,
and can learn by reliable authority,
tlie great body of the people of
ereorgia are an Johnson for Gov
ernor.
AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE.
We shall regret to see an indepen
dent candidate ibr Governor. For
warning the Democracy against it
The Express is denounced all over
the State as being in favor of such a
movement. There are none who
would deplore such a thing more
we do; but the taunting arro
gance of the Colquitt claquers, we
fear, will produce one. They have
spared no pains to conduct the cam
paign so as to produce such]a contin
gency. The men who have differed
with them h'onestly, are not to be
draggooned into the support of any
man. An attempt of that sort was
made in this and the ninth district
two years ago, and we know the re
sult.
The independent vote of Georgia
is a power if it is aroused, and the
Colquit claouers are doing all they
can to arouse it by ridiculing and
taunting the motives of honest Dem
ocrats who have a choice for Gov
ernor independent of the Colquitt
party, li we have an independent
the Colquitt claquers are responsible
for it.
Tax: payers will do well to re
member that the reduction in the ap
propriation bills passed by the demo
cratic branch of congress, are over
$64,000,000 below t'neestinmtes of the
Nations departments for the present
fiscal year, and the appropriations
made by the house are over 580.000,-
00. J for the year ending June 80, 1877,
than the similar appropriations made
by the last congress for the year end
ing June bo, 137(5,
Johnson lias been tried for Gover
noi and we know he is true and
faithful.
THE STATE CONVENTION.
The Democratic State Convention
will meet in Atlanta on Monday
next for the purpose of nominating a
candidate, for Governor and to appoint
electors for the Presidential ticket.
Nearly all of the counties have elect
ed delegates to the convention, and
the latest and most reliable figures
foot up 290 delegates—ll 7 instructed
for Colquitt, 77 for Johnson, 74 unin
structed and 22 scattering. As these
figures stand the contest between
Johnson and Colquitt will be upon
securing the votes of the uninstructed
and the scattering. These now make
a showing of 96. It is reasonable to
suppose that these will be divided be
tween the two contestants, in what
proportion it is now impossible to
say. .
If the majority rule is adopted it
will require 176 to nominate if all the
counties are fully represented ; if the
two-thirds rule is adopted it will le
quire 234. If the first is adopted Gen.
Colquitt will have to secure 59 addi
tional votes ; if the latter he will have
to semire 117 more votes. The ques
tion is will he get the number requir
ed to adopt the majority rule. If he
does not, and the two-thirds rule is
adopted, can he be nominated ? And
if Gen. Colquitt cannot be nominated,
is it possible to nominate Mr. John
m/il If limjmltj i wKy Vrx/
ed, is not Mr. Johnson as likely to be
nominated as Gen. Colquitt ?
But. suppose neither of these gen
tlemen can be nominated, and for the
sake of harmony the convention
shall be compelled to take up another
man, who will he be? North Geor
gia will then come in for considera
tion ? This section will come for
ward in favor of one of her own dis
tinguished representative men. In
that event Col. Dabney, Gen. W. T.
Wofford and Col. Jno. W. Wofford
are spoken of by many gentlemen of
prominence.
The friends of Gen. Colquitt claim
that he has sufficient strength to be
nominated under either rule of the
convention that may be adopted. If
so, they will hardly object to the two
thirds rule if it be strenuously de
manded. But we inter that they
will not submit to its adoption if they
have the strength to prevent it. The
adoption of the rules will show
whether the friends of Gen. Colquitt
are as strong in number as they are
upon the classification of delegates as
it is now being published by their or
gans.
The indications point to the fullest
convention we have had since the
war. It is estimated there will not
be less thau six hundred delegates in
convention, to say nothing of the
large number of lobbyists and spec
tators who will be present fiom all
parts of the State. It is to be hoped
that the deliberations of the conven
tion will be harmonious and success
ful in placing before the Democracy
a nominee upon which the whole
party may unite.
FOR CONGRESS.
The Dalton Enterprise states that
Hon. W. 11. Felton has written a
letter to a friend in Dalton, wherein
he says: “I expect to be an indepen
dent candidate for Congress to repre
sent the Seventh District, in the 45th
Congress.” He further adds that he
will announce himself publicly soon.
With Felton, Young, Dabney and
others in the field, uro ma J loot f° r
stirring times.
If Dr. Felton is to be in the field it
will require a very satisfactory nom
ination by the organized Democracy
to defeat him. T bat nomination had
best be made by primary elections
throughout the district, so that the
will of the people may be fairly ex
pressed. It is very important to
keep the party organized and in the
hands of the people and out of the
management of wire-pullers and
tricksters. If that can be done the
people, we believe, will stand by the
organization.
The Cartersville Express intimates that
if Colquitt is nominated it will support a Rad
ical candidate in opposition. The spirit is bad,
and we would regret to see Willingham within
the ranks of a free nigger party. We hope for
the sake of old tines, he don’t mean it.
The idea of such a paper as The Careers vii.i.e
Express being a Radical organ, and Charley
Willingham a consort with scalawags and
niggers. My God—Charley ! Dont do it.—
A Wfftraia Const it .it ionalist .
We pity tho spirit that conceived
the above paragraph. It is deplora
ble when Democrats are thus refer
red to. “Willingham” was one of
the first journalists in Georgia who
opposed the reconstruction measures
and fought the Radicalism growing
out. of them. The truth i. the ulmve
is a mean insinuation. The Express
has not intimated that “it will sup
port a Radical candidate” for Gover
nor. Can’t the Constitutionalist get
up something better than the above
for the campaign ?
The latest reliable figures in regard
to the classification of delegbtes stand
about as follows:
Whole number of votes 290
Colquitt 117
Johnson 77
Uninstructed 74
Scattering 22
Under a majority rule it will re
quire in a full convention, 17G to
nominate; and under the two-thirds
rule it will require 134 votes to do so.
If the above figures be eorreet, Gen.
Colquitt lacks 59 of a majority and
under the two-thirds 117 votes.
We are satisfied that the great ma
jority of the Democratic voters in
this county are in favor of Johnson
for Governor, If they will turn out
there will be no difficulty in select
ing Johnson delegates. The friends
of Colquitt are quietly but industri
ously at work to secure a delegation
for that gentleman. Let no John
son man fail to be here or to falter
when he gets here on Saturday.
Every vote will be needed to give as
big a Johnson majority as possible.
Let the Johnson delegates rally
here in force on Saturday next.
Votes are what are wanted, and if
any one desires to talk he will have
the opportunity.
THE MEETING ON SATURDAY.
If the weather is favorable a large j
meeting of the Democracy of this :
county may be expected here on Sat
urday for the purpose of appointing
delegates to the State Convention to
be held in Atlanta next Wednesday
for the purpose of nominating a can
didate for Governor. We trust the
meeting of the Bartow Democracy
may.be harmonious and reflect the
will of the majority, and that dele-;
gates may be appointed with im
plicit instructions to represent the j
voice of our county in the State Con- j
vention as long as there is a chance of |
nominating the man of their choice
for Governor, after which to support
for nomination the best man that can
be secured.
An effort will be made to divide
the delegation, we have been led to
believe, between Johnson and Col
quitt, or send it uninstructed. We
are opposed to this. Such a delega
tion would not reflect the will of the
Democracy of Bartow. An unin
structed delegation would not be
the agents of the people, but indepen
dent agents to defy the will of the
people if they choose to when they
get into the Convention, and could
vote for the nomination of any man
they chose to and absolutely ignore
the choice of the people they repre
sent.
If this county is for Johnson we
desire to see the delegation go to At
lanta with instructions to vote for
him; if the county is for Colquitt it
is right and proper that the delegates
should be instructed to go for him as
long as there is hope of nominating
him. • This is what we understand by
sending 'delegates to represent the
Democracy of the county —we mean
the majority. Weareopposed toany
division of the delegation between
Johnson and Colquitt.
We have taken considerable pains
for weeks to find out the* sentiment
of Bartow for Governor. We have
sought information from leading men
in every militia district, and the uni
versal expression is that the Johnson
party is very largely in the majority;
but if we are mistaken we still ad
here to what we say above in regard
to the delegation to be sent by this
county instructed to carry out the
will of the party _in any and every
event.
MR. JOHNSON’S NOMINATION.
The nomination of Mr. Johnson
for Governor of Georgia, would do
much in aiding the election cf Tilden
and Hendricks in the Northern States
His management of the insurrection
last summer, which doubtless pre
vented much blood shed, did more
to allay Northern bitterness and to
wipe out Northern predjudice against
the South than any one circumstance
that has happened since the war.
His administration of justice in be
half of tlie negro was so well balanc
ed, that not even a howl was raised
against the Southern whites by the
Northern press.
au emirsement of Mr. Johnson in
this respect would show to the North
ern people that we are sincere in our
professions of justice to all classes
and all races. If Mr. Johnson is
nominated, it would produce a pro
found impression upon the Northern
mind favorable to the Democratic
party in both sections of unuon.
What is meant by the following
paragraph in the letter of Col. Harde
man declining to be a candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination ?
“To those friends, who, for months gave
me encouraging assurances of confidence and
support, then abandoned pae and joined tny
opponents, I will only say I freely forgive
you, knowing as I do, that human nature can
not withstand the blandishments of position
and the allurements of office.”
We understand that he has been
deserted by professed friends who
could not “withstand the blandish
ments of positions and the nllure
ments of office.” It is a hard lick at
somebody.
Our informant, concerning the Cal
houn convention last week, was
wrong in his statement that it was a
county meeting of some forty people
who met to appoint*delegates to the
State convention from Gordon. It
was a convention of selected dele
gates appointed by the militia dis
tricts to select the State delegates.
We are glad to make this correction.
Persons tending news to the press
should always he particular to know
their statements are correct.
Almost anybody can stand this
from Henry Grady in his last letter
to me Augusta Constitutionalist ;
“As lor Willingham we don’t care which
way be goes, lie’s of no account anyhow, lie
has fritted away his llle in growling and whin
ing.”
.None can be offended at such stuff
except the readers of that paper.
They have a right to expect some
thi.g better.
* •
The Ath ens Georgian , states
that “Hardeman and Gartrell are
proposed as state electors,” and asks,
“How would Hersehel V. Johnson
do for State elector ?” First-rate, if j
he will just come from the guberua- j
tonal track in favor of Colquitt; but,
then, jou see he isn’t caught by that
sort of bait.
The appointment ot delegates to
the gubernatorial convention from
tliis county will be made by ballot op
Saturday. • It is hoped there will be
a full turn out. As the county is
largely for Johnson, it is hoped ev
ery one of his friends will be on
band.
A meeting was held in Chattooga
county, on the loth inst., and Col
quitt delegates were appointed. The
dissatisfaction is so great there that
another meeting is to be held next
Saturday, when it is said Johnson
delegates will be appointed.
The Atlanta Republican continues
to howl over the rebellion. Well, :
it can howl on and few of the people !
of Georgia wiil know anything of it.!
By the way, how many people in j
Georgia know that such a paper is ;
published in Atlanta? I
THE GRASSHOPPERS.
This plague has come upon us ar.d
it is a subject of distressing concer t
to our people. We give in our local
columns somewhat of a description
of their work here as we have sesn
it. Our people are greatly alarmed
not only on account of the destruction
threatened the crops the present year,
but they are alarmed because of the
fact that it is known that thegrasshop
pers will appear the second year in
myriads where but comparatively few
appear the first year. It seems their
eggs are deposited as they pass over
the country the first time in count
less myriads, to swarm and devastate
every thing before them the second
year.
Tl.e pestilence is spreading in va
rious parts of Georgia. If the devas
tation becomes what is threatened in
this county, it will be impossible for
farmers to make bread supplies for
next year. The failure of the wheat
crop has already crippled them to &
great extent and the loss of their corn
and cotton crops to any extent will
prostrate the agricultural interests to
such a degree as to call for legislative
relief without delay, for it will be
impossible for the people of the coun
try to meet outstanding obligations.
Every effort should be made to
destroy the grasshoppers wherever
they appear. The people of every
such neighborhood should meet to
gether, and by concert of action unite
in fighting this pestitential plague
as if they were fighting fire. Ii would
be better that every business house
in Cartersville should be closed two
or three hours every day and all turn
out against this great enemy than the
plague should be permitted to spread
over the country, if by so doing it
can be prevented.
Judge A. It. Wright, of Rome,
has publicly declared that if Gen.
Colquitt is nominated next week,
and no other will oppose him as an
independent candidate, he will do so
himself, and make things lively.
Let us avoid an independent candi
date if possible.
The Express and its editor has
been more abused.in this campaign
than any other paper in the State
all for honest opinion and the sup
port of Johnson.
Mr. J. A. Johnson, one of Floyd’s
best citizens, is strong for H. V.
Johnson for Governor. He is a
thorough-bred Johnson man.
If the nomination of either John
son or Colquitt will not harmonize
the Democratic party, let some other
good man be the nominee.
We are in favor of a constitutional
convention, but opposed to the re
moval of the capital from Atlanta.
We must have primary elections
for the selection of delegates to the
Congressional convention.
It is thought in Washington city
that Congress will not adjurn before

§9od JOHN 11. WJKEE, C. IE C.
Barlow County.
Presentments of the Grand Jury Second
Week, July Term, 1876.
We the Grand Jurv chosen and sworn for
the 2nd week of the Julv term, 1876, beg leave
first week in regard to the jail physician. We
thick that matter is entirely in the hands of
the County Commissioners. As they have let
out the jail.practice to the low est bidder, we
believe they are the proper parties to sec that
their contracts are properly curried out, and
we leave the matter in their hands, believing
they v ill do what is right in the premises.
In regard to additional compensation for the
Superintendent of the pauper larm for taking
care of the lunatics we believe that is properly
in the hands of (he County Commissioners, as
they know what their contract with the Super
intendent is, and hat is light and just in the
matter,
We fully concur in the report of the former
Grand Jury in regard to the public roads, and
we respectfully suggest that the proper au
thorities see that the road laws are fully and
promptly enforced.
Attention has been called to-thc Island Ford
Road, leading to Kingston, in the 17t.h district.
VVe learn that it is almost impassible, and we
call the attention of the Road Commissioners
to this road and request them to have it put in
good order immediately.
In regard to the compensation of the sheriff
for summoning jurors, we felly concur in the
recommendation of the former Grand Jury.
As to the reduction of the compensation of
the Tax Collector and Receiver, we now con
cur with tire former Grand Jury, as the last
Legislature has passed a law that fully cov
ens the ground, and has made the proposed re
duction.
We find that the floor of the jail has the d>y
rot l>adly, and is very unsafe, and we see no
rein'edy for the present imperfect ventilation
exeeot to take out the present floor and till in
the space with rock, making a solid cement
floor on top ot the same. This, in our opinion,
will prevent the escape of any more prisoners
in the future, and will make a floor that will
hot for all time and will very much improve
tlc sanitary condition of the jail. We also re
commend that the jailor be furnished with a
barrel of coperas to use as a disinfectant
about the jail and privies.
We would respectfully request that our next
Itepresentatives to the Legislature have a law
passed to reduce the Grand Juries so as to
have but two weeks service Ol the same for
each term of the Court, and also that.thev use
the i:* best endeavors to have the law of 1868 re
enacted so that these petty offenses can he
tried before a Justice of the Peace without
burdening our Superior Court with these
trifling cases.
t We think our County Commissioners are en
titled to the thanks of the people for the strict
economv in which they have managed the af
fairs of the county, and we trust they will go
on in the same course until our people arc re
lieved of the pressure caused by the depressed
condition of our country’.
In regard to the compensation of the Clerk
of the Superior Court for extra services ren
dered during the session of the Court, wo re
commend to the County’Commissioners to pay
our worthy and efficient Clerk what is right
and just in the matter.
We have examined tiie docket of the Mag
istrate otjtlie 17th District, and find the same
well anil correctly kepi ,
nriimi Jury made such an ex
haustive report on the expenses of the jail and
pauper farm, and alsoj in the examination of
the county records that we do not deem it nec
essary to review more fully their work, hut
fully concur in their presentments with the ex
ceptions above noted.
In taking leave ef your Honor we tender you
our thanks for your kindness and courteous at
tention, and beg 10-ve to express our high ap
preciation of yoiu- Honor as an officer, and
also tender onr'ihanks to our able Solicitor-
General for courtesies.
The Sheriff and subordinates are especially
and. serving oi praisp for their prompt attention
to business and we commend them as worthy
officer?.
We recommend that these presentments be
published in The Caktersville Express.

tfie i:\riu ss,
TTS'DEP. the present mat rji a,i t, s fas*
growing into popularir; ts rapidl
increasing circulation lully attests; and if
present ratio ol increase continues, it will scot
have the largest circulation or any weekly
paper in the State. Coming to Cartcr-ville
under somewhat adverse circumstances, wills
false impressions made in advance <*r his
coming, to his detriment, and finding tin- pa
per nearly “1 an down,” the present proprietor
feels himself under many grateful obligation*
to numerous friends for the aid they have
given him in reviving this once popular pa
per. These have given to its circnJatfon an
impetus which it is hoped will make it a power
in this section of Georgia for good—for the
building up of our material interests
and for the promotion of the cause of true and
unde filed Dcmocracv.
The Express
M ill ever be found the true an nnflinch.in
friend of the People, the opponent of all
cliques, rings or combinations, if tlierG be any
such organizations to deceive, mislead or to
thwart the popular will, in all pol jtieal mat
ters. It will be tlie aim of the editor to re
flect popular sentiment upon r.tl jiublie ques
tions, when that sentiment is true to free gov
ernment and public liberty.
The Express,
hG,vcver, will oppe 5e ull attempts to pervert
the true principl es of the DemoccatiG party
and seek to inc u | cate at all t j mes ~n (] e r
all circums*.anecs, the great and cardinal
ptinciplcs which underlie and form the basis
of all fre e government. Opposed to all inno
vatiors upon the principles of the Democ
racy t
The Expa*ess
" 'll he found “now and forever,” a Drnno
crotic journal of “the straightest sect” wiiiNo.it
a shadow of turning either to the right or left
believing as we do, that the happiness of the
people, and the prosperity of this country de
pend upon a restoration < f the old landmarks
of our lathers—a retnii principles,
alone can retain to us five overnnicnt.and an
honest administrnth oft. ■ j ~;i.ieal affairs ot
the country.
The Kvjsms
will never emit any occasion to set f.,rtli the
great advantages of ( itc-eokeo Geo,aria. Its
aim will be to advance by ,11 means in its
power, ti c maicrial pio-perity of , bis section
of Georgia, tarored as it is, with a climate, the
fine tin the world, with a soil i nsi rpassed,
i,i*l with agr eultnra! ~n,l titint-ral sources
uucqriiVed—inhabited by an hunts; ; thrifty
peopb-. ietelligent ami worthy m ; ,1, .osperi
tv. To develop these s mreos f weal, . and to
make Cherokee Georgia thejg trdcn .pot ot
the country will be among the chief -.it-of
this joi rnal.
Tlie Express.
therefore, appeals to an honest and discrimi
nating public for that patronage which shall
place it in our power, to present a good pa
per, creditable to the State in which it is pub
lished and a special pride to the people of Bar
tow county. Rapidly overcoming the false
and inlamous, the weak and silly charge that
this journal was to he, or is to he, or the or
gan oi a ring—an imposition on general intel
ligence--
The Kxpres*
will be found in the end a journal that will
not stoop to subserviency in any form—that it
is a free uud honest paper that will rest its
prosperity upon its ow n merits, and will ntrer
seek to build up itself by imploring sympa<
thr or by efforts to create false preindko
against others. If
The Express
cannot win popoular favor upon the ground
ot merit, tlie sooner it becomes extinct the
better it will be for the popular good. There
iore all who are willing to trust an honest pur
pose and effort to present a respectable jour
nal, true in its Democracy, true to the peopl
n,l trite to right an 1 justice, are v > spectfi dy
to become subscribers to Tun Ca*
