Cartersville, August 3, 1876.
CALL OF THE DEMOCRATIC EXECU
TIVE COMMITTEE.
Cartersville, Ga., July, 23,1676.
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. Jt is
hoped every member will be present.
John W. Wofford.
Chairman.
OUR CONGRESSMEN
The gubernatorial contest has so
absorbed public attention that little
discussion has been had upon the
Congressional question at all. The
people of Georgia should look as
much to efficiency in the selection o£
Congressmen as if they were select
ing an agent for any of the businesses
of life. To a Congressman, experience
and personal influence and ability
constitute the main requisites for a
good representative. The mere fact
that a man is able and learned, is not
all that is required for an efficient
Congressman. lie must be a man
whose social standing and manerism
gives him a personal magnetism
that attracts strength to any cause
he may advocate. In these respects
Georgia is well represented, as to
how the next delegation will stand
is a question but few can solve and
can only guess it.
In the first district we have Mr.
Julian Hartridge. He is a man
of ability, and is demonstrative as
occasion requires it. He is a fine or
ator and a true representative, man
of the seaboard. He has served but
the present Congress, and although
he has made but few speeches, they
have been opportune and effective,
lie is not a noisy man, but has the
good sense to know when to talk and
when not to talk. He should bo re
turned.
In the second district, we have
Hon. W. E. Smith. He is one of
Georgia’s representatives we do
not know, and his district being re
mote, we are unable to judge of what
are his chances for a return to Con
gress. This is his second term, and
our opinion is that his services have
been very acceptable to bis constit
uents, and we have seen no proposi
tion to displace him.
In the third, General Phil Cook,
the glorious old soldier who never
‘•flickered” from duty anywhere,
we think, will be his own successor—
at least we hope so, and we see no
indications to the contrary. Old
Phil is a lovely old boy, and if we
should happen in Washington and
\v anted to see the sights and all the
fun we should be very apt so hunt up
this old one-armed hero. When we
think of old Phil we mentally ex
claim, “God bleee tho old hero.”
Of Mr. Harris from the fourth,
now serving his second term, it may
be said the people have a faithful
representative—a man attentive and
conscientious in the discharge of Ids
public duties. He is a man of fine
mental capacity, rather modest and
retiring, but earnest and invincible
when the occasion requires it. He
will likely have opposition from
Judge Hugh Buchanan, one of
the best and truest men the Almighty
ever put breath of life into. His war
record to say nothing of his fine abil
ities as a lawyer and public speaker,
will make it pretty hot for Col. Har
ris should he be put on the track.
Between these two gentlemen, on
many points it is hard to select. There
is a personal attraction about both
irresistible. Wo have known
“Buck” for nearly forty years, and
there is so much of sweetness in the
memory of the past that well, we
don’t know what to say, except that
we shouldn’t want to displace Harris
nor defeat Buchanan.
In the fifth district we have the
wiry and quick Milt Candler, one of
the men who stood like a stonewall
in our Georgia Legislature in 1808
and ISG9 against Radicalism and bay
onet rule. Heisahard featured ug
ly fellow, but theie is a smile that
plays around his wide mouth that
makes one like him in spite of him
self. There will be an effort to beat
Candler this fall, and by some very
good men ; but if our vote decided
it we would send him back to Wash
ington.
In the sixth we have Mr, Blount,
a man we have not yet seen. He is
said to be a most aimable gentleman.
He will have strong opposition from
Gus Bacon and others. It is doubt
ful whether he will return to Wash
ington or not as a representative.
The seventh district is now repre
sented by Rev. Wm. 11. Felton, M.
D., a Methodist preacher and a farm
er. He is the man who is said to
have gone into Congress on the
“hallalujah lick” in other words he
was an independent candidate and
was elected by a majority of less
than a hundred against the nominee
of the Democratic party. An unfor
tunate nomination at Calhoun two
years ago made him Congressman
and now he expects to run the race
again on the same line. As there is
no ring of any force to fight, we hoped
Mr. Felton would now aid in pre
serving the organization of the
Democratic party. If a good and
lair nomination for Congress is
made we have no idea that Mr. Fel
ton will return to Congress as a
member.
Mr. Stephens, of the eighth district
has not been in his seat during the
present sersion on accout of severe
illness. His seat may be contested
for the next Congress, but we have
nj idea that the people whom he
has so long and faithfully served will
allow him to retire from the public
service so long as he is living or there
is any possible hope that he ir ay
eventually be able to take his s t.
. There is a gradeur of devotion u
the part of the great mass of the pc .
pie of the eighth district to Mr.
Stephens that commands the respect
of all good and true men who ap
preciate ability and statesmanship.
We hope to see Mr. Stephens in our
national council as long as there is
life in him,
Hon. B. 11. Hill represents the
ninth, and was elected over the com
bined efforts of politicians and trick
sters who desired the promotion of a
man no way his equal intellectual or
otherwise, Asa popular orator Mr.
Hill has not his superior in Georgia.
Upon the hustings,in the court room
or anywhere he is a man who can
always find attention and eager
listeners. lli3 record in Congress,
this being his first term, is already
made memorable by his intellectual
combat with Blaine. At first we
were fearful of the results of Mr.
Hill’s speech, though we have all the
while endorsed every word of it.
We now believe it lias done more to
open the eyes of the people of the
North to the real condition and tem
per of the Southern people than any
thing else. It is hoped there will be
no opposition to him for Congress
this fall. _
THE CONTEST OF SATURDAY.
The contest here last Saturday for
gubernatorial delegates, was quite
lively, but passed off very
pleasantly, and with no cause,
we hope, for dissatisfaction
The friends of Colquitt made a bold
and gallant fight for him If they did
not for the people. They deserve
credit and consideration at the hands
of the General should hebeGovernor.
If he should have any appointments
to make in this section his friends
here deserve as much as his friends
anywhere eise do. If nis (Colquitt’s)
friends are to be rewarded anywhere
they should be in Bartow county.
When Gen. Colquitt becomes Gov
ernor we want him to remember the
unflinching friends of his who so
stoutly stood out for him.
The meeting on Saturday was not
as large as it should have been. If
the friends of Johnson had been as
energetic as the Colquitt men, the
county would have gone two to one
for Johnson vs. Colquitt. But all of
last week postal cards and letters
flew upon the wings of the United
States mail service, and every Col
quitt man was personally appealed
to to be here to vote on Saturday last,
while the Johnson men, satisfied
their ticket would win did not take
the pains to organize, although they
were earnestly requested to do so.
The day and the hour came. Our
Colquitt friends had a representative
on the floor with his resolutions pre
pared for the occasion ; but the reso
lutions thus offered before any one
eise could get the floor did not meet
the impulses of the popular heart.
A series of resolutions as substitutes
were submitted to the meeting. The
substitute proposed to submit the
question as to whether Bartow pre
ferred Johnson or Colquitt to the
people direct; but the Colquitt reso
lution* all<l not. Judge Land, one of
the best Democrats in the county, of
fered a set of resolutions as amenda
tory of the substitute to the Colquitt
resolutions, which were voted down
before it was feared they would pro
duce confusion; otherwise they would
have been adopted unanimously.
In the discussion of the resolu
tions Col. Harris, Col. .T. W. Wofford
and Col. Warren Akin all made
speeches in support of the Colquitt
resolutions which did not propose to
submit the question of Governor to
a direct vote of the meeting; but the
Gilbert resolutions, which proposed
to submit the question direct were
sustained by Mr. Mike Crawford and
Mr. R. W. Murpliey, and such were
the pungency of the remarks of these
two last named gentlemen, that the
five hundred Democrats in the house
refused to trust any resolutions except
the Gilbert resolutions. These ap
pealed to the popular heart because
the popular sentiment was in favor
of popular expression, and because
they were in favor of the people be
ing heard.
The friends of Gen. Colquitt did
not want a direct vote taken as be
tween Johnson and Colquitt. They
labored hard to secure a “half loaf”
for Colquitt from Bartow. They in
terposed every obstacle they could to
prevent popular expression by bal
loting. One Colquitt friend cannot
and would not deny the statement.
It is certain they did not want a di
rect vote upon the question, and the
Democracy there assembled saw the
drift of the Colquitt tactics in full
and defeated it.
Well, we don’t blame the Colquitt
men for what they did if the ques
tion of success alone was the issue of
the day. They are all clever men j
and wanted to carry Bartow for Col
quitt, on the basis that “everything
is fair in war.”
Two-thirds of the Democratic vo
ters are at heart in favor of Johnson
for Governor. We are well satisfied
of the truth of this assertion because
we have conversed with prominent
men from every district in the coun
ty. Some Johnson men “flickered”
in the end, and went for Colquitt.,
They were too weak to resist, because !
they had, perhaps, been fed on po-1
litical gruel too long. These have |
our sympathy on the ground that j
human weakness is unaccountable;!
but for the men of stern purpose and i
principle we hear naught but respect j
and confidence on the part of!
political firmness of purpose and
adhesion to truth as it was under
stood by them.
Two weeks ago we published a
speech of Hon. Mark A. Cooper made
in the Senate last winter, which was
not properly titled, and doubtles
many of our readers did not know
the author. The caption of the j
spoeetr should liav appeared as fol
lows: “Remarks of Hon. M. A.
Cooper, Senator of the forty-second
district on tho motion to reconsider
the vote of the Senate on the bid to j
charter tiie Merchants’ Bank of At-!
lanta.” The Senator referred to as !
the author of the bill was E. P. How
ell, of the thirty-fifth disttict, instead
of the Senator from the thirty-fourth
district as erroneously printed.
>IR. AKER MAN’S SPEECH.
We publish this week the outline
of a speech made by Mr. A. T.
man, of Cartersville, in Atlanta last
week, as reported in the Constitution.
It is a matter of regret that any white
mar. living in the South—a man oi
intelligence,* and who was really in
the military service of the “Lost
Cause” —should array himself in an
tagonism to the sentiments and in
stincts of a people among whom he
lives. In that speech Mr. Akerman
said “the Republican party is for the
Union heartily and thoroughly, not
because we (the Republicans) were
whipped into it, but because we (the
Republicans) love it,” and that the
Democrats are there because you
(they) can’t help being there.” Asa
Confederate officer during the war,
do we understand that Mr. Akerman
was “whipped into the Union” or
not. We suppose Mr. Akerman,
while in the service of the Confeder
ate government professed to be loyal
to it. When the Confederacy was
overthrown, we suppose lie became
a Radical for what the Republican
party might be worth to him, and
now he does not see “much conver
sion” of the Confederates to the cause
of the Union.
Mr. Akerman is said to be an able
man and, personally, an amiable
I gentleman. He is one of the numer
ous Republicans who have held posi
tion in Grant’s cabinet. While in
position he was very active in the
persecution of South Carolinians un
der the ku-klux laws, and was doubt
less instrumental in the incarceration
of numbers of good citizens under
those infamous tortures of the South
ern people. Mr. Akerman ought to
understand, and doubtless does un
derstand, why the Southern people
are not greatly attached to the Union
according to the Radical idea of such
attachment. But Mr. Akerman
knows too truly that there is not a
more loyal people to the principles of
free government than are the South
ern people. He knows, also, that it
is the infampus prostitution of the
government in the persecution and
oppression of the South that the
Southern people so much despise the
Union as it is held up by his party.
He is the last man to talk of or hint
at Southern disloyalty, or to inti
mate in the remotest degree that we
are not true to constitutional liberty
as construed by our fathers.
Mr.- Akerman is a white man, and
he has joined the white scoundrels of
the South—the base and corrupt men
of the country—to defame the char
acter and to oppress the best citizens
of the South. He has been identified
for ten years with a party in the South
that has had no other ooject in poli
tics but to rob and plunder the peo
ple of the South from the day the
war was closed; and as the years
have followed their thievery ancl
corruption exhibits a deplorable con
dition of political morality never
known to the history of any country.
Mr. Akerman is and has been a
prominent ropreeontntiv© of this par
ty ever since the war. Mr. Aker
man is too intelligent a man not to
know that ho is in very bad compa
ny, and that he is the last man to
lecture Southern Democrats upon
political ethics or morality.
The Atlanta Commonwealth of
Monday contains the following para
graph .
The Victory in Bartow.—Hon. 11. V. John
son, 261; General A. 11. Colquitt, 215.
Such was the vote of the mass meeting in
Cartersville on Saturday last.
From reliable and well-informed sources, we
learn that this was another victory of the town
over the country. The country people of Bar
tow are very decidedly for Colquitt, but did
not turn out in sufficient numbers to overcome,
the town opposition.
Of couise the above is published as
truthful, and perhaps for effect. Such
was the overwhelming sentiment for
Mr. Johnson in this county that bis
friends, hundreds of them, living at
a distance from town, thought it not
necessary for them to be present; and
the few who were present were with
out organization.
Every means were employed to se
cure the attendance of all the Col-
I quitt men in the county by personal
j appeals in favor of certain delegates.
Free tickets at Kingston were fur
nished for that purpose. All the po
litical managers and the chief public
speakers and parliamentarians were
on Colquitt’s side, using their best
efforts to prevent a direct vote for
Governor.
If there had been a full turn-out of
! the people of the county, Johnson
would have received lour—llftli3 of
the votes. This is the aggregated
judgment of the most intelligent and
best informed men from all parts of
the county.
The town was as much divided as
were the country people, as every in
telligent man knows who is familiar
with public sentiment. It was the
country people who went for John
son.
REDUCTION OF POSTAGE.
The new postal law, approved
July 10th, 1870, enacts: “That tran
sient newspapers and magazines,
regular publications designed pri
marily for advertising purposes, or
for free circulation at nominal rates,
and all printed matter of the third
class, except unsealed letters, shall be
admitted to and transmitted in the
mails at the rate of one cent for every
two ounces or fractional part thereof,
and one cent for each additional two’
ounces or fractional part thereof.
“Ail unsealed circulars and all
mailable matter of the third class,
other than that designated in the
foregoing section, postage will be
charged as heretofore, one cent for
each ounce or fraction thereof.”
Under this law a copy of The Ex
press can be sent to any post office
in the United States for one cent. It
lias been two cents a single copy
heretofore,
The Democracy will carry the
Presidential campaign this year if
our leaders are careful and all true
Democrats will work heartily for the
ticket.
GEN. YOUNG-TETTER FROM HON
B. H. JIILL.
The attempts which have been
made to slander Gen. Young induced
the editor of The Express to write
to the Hon. B. 11. Hill, asking him
.to see Mr. Glover, the chairman of
the real estate pool committee, and
get an expression from him in re
gard to the matter. Mr. Hill prompt
ly attended to our request, and we
herewith publish his reply:
llofse of Representatives >
Washington. D. c., July 28,1876. \
My Dear Sir: I have hail a full and free in
terview with Mr. Glover, the chairman of the
congressional committee on the real estate
pool. He assures me that the testimony be
lore the committee does not, in the slightest
degree, implicate Gen. P. M. B. Young in anv
thing whatever that is improper. lie adds
that the only testimony alluding to General
\ oung at all is the voluntary statement of the
General himself, and tnat this statement very
clearly exonerates him.
The testimony taken before the committee
will all be printed soon, and it is not doubted
that the committee will unanimously vindicate
Gen. I oung from all improper complieitv in
the real estate pool,
I will add that the statement lately going the
rounds of the press that the com mi ttee had re
fused a certificate to Gen. Young is not true,
as lam assured by Mr. Glover himself. With
high regard, I am
Very truly vonrs,
Benj. h. Hill,
C. 11. C. Willingham , Esq.,
Cartersville, Ga.
This we have done for the purpose
oi vindicating a man we have always
believed to be honest and true, and
whose record we have ever believed
could not be justly assailed. Mr.
Hill is an old friend, and we knew
he would and could give a truestate
ment of the matter. This he has
done to the satisfaction of every man
who loves justice and despises slander.
The enemies of Gen. Young have
been prompt and quick to have the
slanders re-published for base and
mean purposes. We know of one
instance where this has been done,
and at a proper time it may be nec
essary to mention his name and to
discuss the animus which prompted
it. But we leave the whole question
now with Mr. Hill’s statement which
is worth more than the declarations
of all Young’s enemies put together.
HEAVY ON LOTTERIES.
By a recent law passed by Congress,
it is enacted “ that it shall not be law
ful to convey by mail, nor to deposit
in a post-office to be sent by mail, any
letters or circulars concerning lotter
ies, so-called gift concerts, or other
similar enterprises offering prizes, or
concerning schemes devised and in
tended to deceive and defraud tho
public for the purpose of obtaining
money under false pretences, and a
penalty of not more than five hun
dred dollars, nor less than one hun
dred dollars, with costs of prosecu
tion, is hereby imposed upon convic-
I tion in any Federal court of the vio
lation of this section.”
This law applies to all lotteries,
without regard to their character,
and if enforced will effectually sup
press every lottery and so called pi ft
concert in the United States. There
it no estimating the amount of mon
ey the ignorant and credulous arrUe
frauded out of by these swindlers.
Letters addressed to lotteries will not
be delivered, but will be sent to the
dead letter office, and from thence re
turned to the writers. We under
stand that a person of this place made
a remittance a short time ago to a
lottery in a distant State, from which
it was sent to the dead letter office,
and was returned to the writer within
five or six days from the time it was
written, and his money returned to
him.
PRIMARY EJECTIONS.
We hope the executive committee
Of the Democratic party of this Con
gressional district, when they assem
ble hereon Saturday, will order the
appointment of delegates by primary
elections—that is to say, allow the
Democratic voters to express by bal
lot their choice for Congressman.
This mode seems now to be demand
ed by a strong popular sentiment for
the reason that people living in re
mote parts of the county from the
court house cannot always attend
mass meetings. ,It is also a popular
belief that the will oi the party can
be more definitely expressed than by
mass meetings. Allow each militia
district to send ten delegates to a
county convention toselect delegates
to the congressional convention ac
cording to the expressed will of the
people of the county.
Theie will be a lumber of candi
dates before the people for Congress.
Let the people express upon their
ballots for whom they desire to vote
for Congress, and then each district
send their ten delegates to a county
convention to select delegates ac
cordingly.
In this matter we are oniy looking
to the will of the peqple and to have
it expressed in the most direct and
reliable manner, sothat there can be
no cause of complaint when a nomi
nation is made.
We ought to Inve a Tilden and
Hendricks club in every town in the
State of Georgia. Tiie Radicals are
not all dead yet, ind we think they
will make a bold effort to regain lost
power in Georgia.

Presentment* of the Grand Jury Third
Week, July Term, 18*0.
We the Grand -Ttiry chosen and sworn for
the third week of Bartow Superior Coart find
upon examination into local matters, little
else to do than to concur in the presentments
oi the grami juries for the previous weeks of
this court.
We endorse the reports of the two previous
grand juries with respect, to the uauper farm.
We concur with the grand jury of the first
week as to the correctness of Ordinary’s and
Clerk’.- hooks. We find the Court House and
jail in general good repair.
The floor of the jail in two or three of the
cell- is insecure, and while we cannot concur
with the grand jury of last week as to the pro
priety of putting in at this time a lock and ce
ment floor we recommend that the county coin
missiouers have the defect! ve places repaired
so a' to put the floor in condition uniformly
* ecu re.
jfhe sheriff's books we find so far as we can
see to be correct and accurate.
We concur with the grand juries ot the pre
vious weeks of this court in reference to the
books ot Tax Receiver, County Commissioners
and County Treasurer's hooks, merely re
marking that so far as we can determine’ from
the tax Receiver’s books, the property given
in is fn.ly up to the value, and in some cases
may tie in excess.
We concur in the report of the gram! juries
of the previous weeks in regard to the public
roads of the county. We find that some of the
bridges across the ditches in the Fourth Dis
trict are in bad repair. The bridge across the
ditch on Cartersville and Cassville road at
Petit’s Creek, is in bad order and recommend
that the same be b.mistered, and that all these
bridges be thoroughly repaired.
From the best information we can gather the
public bridges and ferries are in good order
except Deweese’s ferry which is not secure on
account of the rope which is not sufficiently
strong and substantial.
We think in view of the agricultural inter
ests on the South side of the Etowah river,
which has,been and is taxed to an enormous
extent in the ay of ferriage from year to year
and also the valu .bleiron interest on that’side
of the river, and further in view of the strong
petition for a bridge on said river, that the
county should have built a bridge soon alter
the war somewhere on the Etowah river, be
low and near the Deweese ferrv. And we
£ o W T can T aU % u
take action to build noli bridge as soon as it. is
practicable within the scop? of our ability to
do so at an expense not to exceed $2,500.
All of which we beg leave to submit ;o the
Honorable Court.
We recommend that these presentments be
published iu The c’akteusvu.lk Express.

Good Fresh Butter all the Year round.
BUTTER IN 20 MINUTFS.
LINCOLN BUTTER POWDER is an entire
ly harmless article made from a cele
brated English recipe, and now in daily use by
many ot the most noted farmers iu the butter
counties aronnd Philadelphia.
In hot weather this Powder makes butter
much firmer and sweeter than it usually is,
and keeps it from turning rancid. It also re
moves the strong flavor of turnips, weeds, corn
stalks, cotton seed, etc,; and the increased
yield of blitter much more than pays the tri
fling expense of using it.

THE EXPKLSSS,
TINDER the present mat pynrsit, s fi;‘
'•J growing into popularity ts rapid)
increasing circulation"fully attest-; and if
.present ratio of increase continues, it will scol
have the largest circulation of any \ve,-kir
paper in the State. Coming to Cartersville
under somewhat adverse circumstances, with
false impressions made in advance of his
coming, to his detriment, and finding the pa
per nearly “run down,” the present proprietor
feels himself under many grateinl obligations
to numerous friends for the aid they have
given him in reviving this once popular pa
per. These have given to its circulation an
impetus which it is hoped will make it a power
in this section of Georgia for goo,l—for the
oi our i a uturiil i u
and for the promotion of the cause of true and
undcfiled Democracy.
The Expms
Will ever he found the'true an unflinchin
friend of the People, the opponent of all
cliques, rings or combinations, if there he any
such organizations to deceive, mi-lead or to
thwart the popular will, in all political mat
ters. It will he the aim of the editor to re
flect popular sentiment upon all public ques
tions, when that sentiment is true to free gov
ernment and public liberty.
The Express,
however, will oppose all attempts to pervert
the true principles of the Democratic party
and seek to inculcate at all times and under
all circumstances, the great and cardinal
principles which underlie aud form the ba>i?
of all free government. Opposed to all inno
vations upon the principles of the Democ
racy,
The Express
W ill be found “now and forever,” a Dtgao
cralic journal of “the straightest sect” witwmt
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 s restoration of the old landmarks
of our lathers—a retuv ti first principles,
alonecan retain to u- f, • . .ivrwnmcnt.and an
honest administration , i tin political affairs ol
the country.
The Express
will never omit any occasion, to set forth the
great advantages of Cherokee Gcoifo.i. Its
aim will tie to advance by 11 m in its
po„cr, the material prosperity of ih> section
of Georgia, favored as it Tv. wah riir.t.ite, the
finest in the world, with a soil in>i" massed,
and with agricultural anil miner I r ources
uncquale l—inhabited by an hen, -t :;•!• thrifty
people, intelligent aud wort r, , ■ . all , ?peri
ty. To develop these tenrecs i>!
make Cherokee Georgia the 4 gar foo -got ot
the country will be among the chief i r 't
this journal.
Tilt* HxpresK,
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 fa^ e
and inlamous, the weak and silly charge that
this journal was to lie, or is to be, or i# the or*
gan of a ring—an imposition on general intel
ligence—
Tlie Express 9
will be found in the end a journal that wi|*
not stoop to subserviency in any form—that it
is a free and honest paper that will rest
prosperity upon its own merits, and will
seek to build up itself by imploring sympa
thy or by efforts to create false prejudice
against others. If
The Express
cannot win popoular favor upon the gronnd
of merit, the sooner it becomes extinct t‘ e
better it will be for the popular good. There
fore all who are willing to trust an honest per
pose and effort to present a respectable j° u ’
