S.F. STEPHENS,
F. M. FOLD,
DEMOCRATIC OKI ANIMATION AND
HARMONY.
The Democracy of the country is
on the eve of a great campaign,
demanding of every member of the
party personal sacrifice of political
aspiration in order that organization
may be complete and harmony the
controlling spirit throughout the
country. We are entering a content
in which it is necessary that every
voter who calls himself a Democrat
should he in line to exert his whole
energies in securing a victory over
the party in power and in restoring
to the people the rule of good and
lionest government. The paralyzed
and prostrate condition of the mate
rial interest of the country admonish
all true patriots that a cl.ange in the
administration of the Federal gov
ernment is absolutely necessary to
restore to the people prosperity, and
to shield the whole country from im
pending ruin and financial disaster.
All the power of the Federal Gov
ernment is now employed to contin
ue the most corrupt political orgaiii
fry* The disastrous effects of its
rule is seen and felt in all the ave
nues of business and commerce and
upon the material vitality of the
country. With the patronage of the
government under its control St will
require the best organization and the
greatest harmony in the efforts of the
opposition to dislodge the vampires
who are fastened with destructive
tenacity upon the substance—the toil
and sweat—of the people. Victory
against all this corruption is simply
a question of Democratic organiza
tion and harmony iu the powerful
contest between honesty and dis-
honesty.
It is a painful condition of things
to state when we say that the De
mocracy of the seventh congression
al district is seriously divided; it is
in or*?*'painful to state that there is
great reason to fear that the division
may result in the election of a Re
publican to Congress. The danger is
greater that such a result will follow
than it was two years ago. 'then the
extent of the breach in the Demo
cratic ranks was not so well under
stood by the Republicans as it is
now. Consequently {.the Republicans
did all the could to aid in that breach.
Having secured the breach it is not
at ali improbable that they will not
fail to take advantage of the breach
they aided in producing to place in
Congress one of their own number.
The opportunity of the Republican
party in this Congressional campaign
they hope will be presented to it in
the still greater breach they hope to
find in the Democratic patty. If the
vote of our party should be any ways
nearly divided between the nominee
and an independent candidate, we
may expect to realize with sorrow
and disgrace the fact that a Republi
can will go to Congress from this dis-
trict.
AVe thus discuss the subject as a
warning to the Democratic party and
to point out a danger that must be
avoided if possible". The Republi
cans are organizing with the view of
success through Democratic disorgan
ization. Already it is slated that Mr.
Z. B. Hargrove is to be the Republi
can candidate for Congress in this
district. The contest of two years
ago encourages the hope of that par
ty that success may rest with them
in a .contest with a divided Democracy.
It is certainly not impossible or im
probable that such a result may not
follow any serious division in the
Democratic ranks. The question of
such a contingency is too serious to
be treated lightly or with indiffer
ence. It is sufficient to make every
Democrat reflect seriously as to what
should be his duty in the outset of
the campaign. Every Democrat is
responsible to the cause of Democrat
ic success and Republican defeat to
the extent of his vote and influence,
I herefore, let no Democrat risk, too
carelessly, the casting of hisinfluence,
against Democratic organization.
A meeting of the Bartow Domoc
has been called lor the second of
Beptember, to appoint delegates to
the Congressional convention at Dal
ton. Every Democrat is invited to
be present and participate whatever
may he his views as to the proper
course to be pursued. Let us meet
as the great Democratic family of
Bartow and as the enemies of Radi
calism to talk together as co-laborers
iu the cause of good government to
see how we mar best promote the
ends of good government, and not as
a divided household seeking to de
stroy each other. Let us come to
gether to harmonize the party on the
right line and to organize it with the
view to make its strength felt in the
great contest for reform in both State
and Federal affairs. And what is
done on the 2nd proximo let it be a
reflection of the popular will of the
county.
We have conversed with many of
the Democrats of Bartow —as good
and true men, as firm and unflinch
ing Democrats, as can he found in the
State —and we are satisfied that the
party in this county will conform to
all that is fair and honorable in Dem
ocratic organization; but, at the
same time, it is proper to say for the
Bartow Democracy that they will
submit to nothing unfair or undemo
cratic. Our people are for organiza
tion upon coriect principlesand upon
an honorable basis of Democratic ex
pression. They will submit to notli
iug.i^Jlor,4^nand.more. w
together on the 2nd proximo as neigh
bors and friends and endeavor to re
unite our forces and move in solid
phalanx against the common enemy
—to put down enemies within and
foes without.
■THE STATE LUNATIC XsYLUM.
It will he remembered that an
effort was made during the iast ses
sion of our State Legislature to secure
an appropriation for additional ac
commodations to be made for the un
fortunates of the State known as
lunatics and idiots. It will be fur
ther remembered that the history of
that session was marked by a weak
ness and rldifference to the real
wants of the State that was simply
painful to all true Georgians whose
hearts ever respond to the great im
pulses of charity and philantrophy.
Our lunatic asylum was already
over, crowded with inmates aud the
cry at its door was for admission for
others, and the response was there
were no further accomodations, and
scores were being turned back to
their homes and families with no
means of caring for or providing
for them with the proper treatment.
The voice of appeal went to the Leg
islature in piteous accents that
should have touched every heart
with mercy not only for the unfor
tunate victims, but for the distressed
families and relatives. But trivial
legislation of local character to give
members standing at home consumed
the greater part of the session and
nothing was accomplished to ad
vance or to promote and make more
effective in its objects the lunatic
institution of the State.
Huuge isenjamin H. Bigham, of
LaGrange recently wrote an able ar
ticle ill favor of an appropriation to
extend and increase the accommo
dations of the State Lunatic Asylum
in which there are now more than
six hundred inmates. A short time
ago Judge Bigham addressed a circu
lar to the ordinaries of the State
asking from the best information
tlvay gould get as follows, to wit:
The number of lunatics (white)
male and female.
The number of lunatics, (colored)
male aiyl female,
The number of idiots (white) male
and female.
The number of idots (colored) male
and female.
The number of these classes in
jail.
The number sent to other States for
treatment.
Judge Bigham says many ordi
naries have responded and others
delay replies, but it is confidently ex
pected all will have the philantrophy
to give this much aid to the helpless
class to the end that we may know
the number in the Stete, and the
General Assembly and public may
have the facts. From replies in land,
Judge B, states it is fair to estimate
there are unprovided for nearly two
hundred of these unfortunates. These
cannot, of course, be provided by
private means and leave the care
necessary to their peculiar condition.
No family, however, wealthy can do
this.
To say nothing of charity—placing
the whole question as a matter of
public economy—we find the jail ex
expenses incurred in the confinraent
of these people who cannot bo pro
vided for at the asylum, largely
overbailanee the appropriation ex
pected. In Troup county alone,
Judge Bigham informs us, these ex-
penses reached last year onft hundred
dollars and it is gone, having served
its tempoary purpose. There arc
one hundred and thirty-seven coun
ties in the State, and this estimate
would make for jail expenses a year
*13,700.
The proposition is to get the Gen
eral Assembly to appropriate money
enough to extend the accommoda
tions at the State Asylum suffieently
to meet the demands of an unfortu
nate class of our citizens who cannot
be properly taken care of anywhere
else. Let the humane people' of
Georgia see to it that men are scut
to the next Legislature with sufficient
breadth of mind and depth of
philanthrophy to comprehend the
importance of this great and over
shadowing subject of the State’s
charity
The Atlanta Radical Republican
says that our article in regard to Col.
Aker man, last week, was “a plain
confession that we are still a rebel.”
From the stand-point of the Republi
can,, we make the confession with
pride. We naturally rei el against
the thievery ond corruption o4‘ the
Republican party.
GEN. YOUNG VINDICATED.
We have given from time to time
evidences of the innocence of Gen.
P. M. B. Young of the charge of eor
lupt complicity in the Washington
real estate pooh This charge was
made by a xtadical scroundrel at
Washington city, D. C. It was
taken up by the Rome Courier and
reiterated by the Dalton Citizen
neither of which has presented to its
readers the evidences of Gen \ oung’s
exculpation from the infamous
cl.aige, except in one instance by
copying an editorial defense from
The Express. We this week pro
duce from an original copy a letter
of Mr. J. M. Glover, chairman of
the real estate pool committee of
Congress, endorsed by another
member of the committee, Mr.
B. B. Lewis:
House of Representatives. >
Washington, July 28,1876. )
lion. P. M. B. Young:—
Dear Sir: Yours ol the23d duly received.
It is impossible, it seems, to get all our commit
tee together to act on your request. Iu absence
of such meeting, I do myself the pleasure and
yourself the justice to say, as one of said com
mittee, that there is nothing before our com
mittee relative to yourself,' except what you
yourself stated under oath. In the light Ol
that statement, I see nothing that reflects upon
your honor or integrity.
I have the honor to be, very' rsspectfully,
yojir obedient servant, J. M. Glover.
I, as a member of said comm mittee, heatily
join in the foregoing, giving it my' full approv
al. B. 15. Lewis.
There were three, a majority oftlie
camuutteaam^ent.wßejaGm. Yamur
sent when the above letter was writ
ten signed by the chairman and en
dorsed by Mr. Lewis, but who will
cheerfully sign it yet.
In this matter Gen. Young lias
been greatly slandered, and we are
glad to state that there are hut two
papers in Georgia which have given
credence to this slander originating
from a Radical source. If these pa
pers are disposed to justice they will
certainly publish the above state
ment. 'We hope the Democratic press
of the State will aid us in the vindi
cation of a brave and gallant soldier
and true Democrat by copying the
above.
We were considerably bothered
last week in securing the official no
tices of the executive committee of
this Congressional district in time for
publication; and in our perplexity
wrote a sharper aiticle concerning
the matter than we ought to have
done. The truth is, we were worried.
As injustice may have been done we
unhesitatingly take back all we said,
and say that no one is responsible for
our failure at the last hour to get the
notices. We desired to write a ral
lying editorial upon the call of the
Congressional convention, and could
not do so ; hence the fret and a dis
position to kuss out somebody for it,
and we did not know who else to
blow out hut that executive commit
tee. This is an apology a sense of
right impels.
A. H. Cox, Lsq., op Troup,—The
highest compliment we have seen
paid to any person during this polit
ical campaign is the one paid to our
vounnr friend a it re..- .e -t
(j. range. Last week’s Reporter con
tained a call upon him to allow the
use of his name in the primary elec
tion for candidate to the Legislature.
The call was signed by one hundred
and eighty-three voters, comprising
among them some of the best and
most substantial men pf his town
and county. We have seen no ueh
a call made upon any man; and,
when we consider that Mr. Cox is
quite a young man it is a compli
ment, coming from Troup county,
that any man of the longest experi
ence and of tfic highest ability might
covet. Our young friend is one of
the ablest young lawyers in the
State, and possesses a most brilliant
mind that will, at an early day,
place him as one of Georgia’s most
distinguished young men. Let
Troup send him to the Legislature
without opposition.
Gex. Young’s Lettish. — Atten
tion is directed to the letter of Gen
ic M. B. Young, elsewhere publish
ed, withdrawing from the Congres
sional race and in favor of Col. Win,
H. Dabney, A great number of
Gen. Young’s friends have desired
that he should return to Congress
and to stand for a nomination. The
Express has been among that num
ber, but Gen. Young has not at any
time said to us that he desired a
nomination, or that lie would seek
it. Such, however, has been the
pressure upon him that he has been
considered an aspirant for the nomi
nation ; and hence he has felt it
proper to write the letter referred to-
The friends of Gen. Young can
but feel reluctant to give him up in
the race, but at the same time they
fully appreciate the high and noble
motives that prompt him to retire
in favor of Col. Dabney.
Several political speeches were
made last week at Dallas during the
sessioh of Paulding Superior Court.
Col. Dabney, Col. J, W. Wofford,
and perhaps one or two others, made
stirring Democratic rallying speech
es. The" spebch'cs. of Dabney and
Wofford are spoken as fine efforts,
which greatly pleased the people. A
public meeting was held and Dabney
delegates appointed Congres

Presentments of tJie brand Jury piftil
Week, July Term, 1876.
We the Grand .Jury chosen and sworn for
the tilth week of Bartow Superior Court
would respectfully make the follow-jpg’ pre
sentments :
We And that the grand juries preceding us,
for this term have examined so thoroughly, the
records of the county, pauper farm, etc., tjiat
we deem it unnecessary to go over their work.
The Jury of the third’ week suggested some
repairs necessary to lie made about the jail.
We cannot agree with them in the plan pro
posed. We have examined into tlie matter and
find tlie lloor very insecure, and alter having
consulted with two masons, find that a rock
and cement floor, which would make it imma
nent and secure could be substituted for the
present and for about $300.00; we therefore
iccommeud that the County Commissioners at
tend to this matter at once, as the safe keep
ing of the prisoners demand it.
uur attention has been called to the large
number of idle negroes about town and
throughout the coupty, this fact accounts for
the increase in opr courts of criminal eases for
larceny, burglary, etc. Wa therefore recom
mend that the vagrant law tie rigidly enforced.
We hear of no complaints of the roads in the
county, except the one loading from the Island
Ford to Kingston, and would call the attention
of the road commissioners of tiie ltitli dis
trict, to said road and recommend that it be
put in good order as early as possible.
In taking leave of the Court, we would re
spectfully tender our thunks to his honor,
Judge iMcGiitehon for his uniform kindness fin
the court room, and his consideration ot pri
vme interests of jurors, in allowing them to
return to their business, when necessary.
We also lender our thanks to the Solicitor
General and Solicitor-General pro tern, and
the other officers of the Court for their kind
ness and willingness at all times to render as
sistance in the discharge of our duties,
We recommend that these prcscntmsnts be

TTNDER the present mar rytir *tt, s las*
_ crowing into popularii: as ts rapid!
increasing circulation folly attests; and if
present ratio of increase continues, it will stot
have the largest circulation of ans - weekly
paper in the State. Coining 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 grateful 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 good—for th
u,j of our mntcriaf /Dtcrests
and for the promotion of the cause of true and
undefiled Democracr.
Tlie
Will ever be found the 'true an miflincltin
friend of the People, the opponent of all
cliques, rings or combinations, if there be any
such organizations to deceive, mislead or to
thwart the popular will, in all political mat
ters. It will be 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.
Tlie 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 and form tlie ba>D
of all free government. Opposed to all inno
vations upon the principles of the Democ
racy,
The Express
W ill he found “now and forever,” a Dmiio
ci aticjournal of “the straightest sect” witnput
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 o: the old landmarks
of our fathers—a return t<> first principles,
alonocan retain to us tree government,and an
honest administration ofllic political affairs ol
the country.
The Express
will never oiuit any occasion to set forth the
great advantages of Cherokee Georgia. Its
aim will he to advance by 11 means in its
power, the material prosperity of ibis section
of Georgia, favored as it is, with a climate, the
finest in the world, with a soil unsurpassed,
and w itlr agrict.Rural and mineral r- -ources
uncqitaled—inhabited by an honest mid thrifty
people, ieteiligent and worthy of all prosperi
ty; To develop these sources of wealth, and to
make Cherokee Georgia the j garden *pot ot
the country will he among the chief efioit- of
this journal.
The 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 ial.e
and infamous, the weak and silly charge that
this journal was to be, or is to he, or is the or
gan of a ring—an imposition on general intel
ligence--
Tlie Express
w ill he found in the end a journal that will
not stoop to subserviency in any form—that it
is a free and honest paper that will rest its
prosperity upon its own merits, and will ncr tr
seek to build up itself by imploring sympa
thy or by efforts to create false prejudice
against others. If
The Express
cannot win poponlar favor upon the ground
of merit, the sooner it becomes extinct the
better it will be for the popular good. There
fore all who are willing to trust an honest pur
pose and effort to present a respectable jour
nal, true in its Democracy, truo to the peopl
nd true to right and justice, are respect fully
to become subscribers to The Ca-
TERBVILLE EII*HESS.
