My Dear Mr. Willingham : ‘ Well, you’ll only make a dratted fool of yorsef, like you did when you went to Atlanta, and be laffed at for yore trubble.” That’s jest what my wife, Ann Eliza, sed when I tole her I was gwine to rite a letter to lie put in the noospaper you is edditin’ up in Kar tersville, nigh whar I marrid her more’n 20 years ago. “I kant help that,” sed I, “I’ve got the croches suspenders on me, and mean to try it enny how. Ef Mr. Willingham don’t want to print it in his noospaper he can lite his pipe with it, or put it to enny other yuseful purpos. I don’t keer what he dos with it.” “That’s jest like you,” said she; “yore hed is jest as hard as old Pete’s, (that’s our Merriny ram) and when you git it sot on ennything, yure jest as stub bon as ole Jake,” (that’s our mule). “Well, ole ’omaii, don’t say no more at the present. I’m usen to yore kompliments, and they don’t worry me like they usen to. I’m Swine to try my hand at rilin’ f ( >r a noospaper one time, so you mobd jest as well dry up,” said I, a little crPS3 1 ke. “Well, have your way then, as you allersdoes. But I’d like to know what yore gwine to write about that would be wurth ennybody’s reedin’. You had better go and rekiver that corn-krib wich you and George” (that’s our oldest son that haint mar fid, and a rite smart chap he is too. and all the gals for miles round Hardskrabble ses he’s mighty good and hansum) “got out the boards for way last winter. You knowthatthe new krib wont holeall thecorn we’ve made this year, and it will be a sin and a shame to let it stay out in the wether and rot. And there’s little Jimmy and Betsey’s” (them’s our yongest children) “vvagin thatyo’ve bin promisin’ ’em ever since the forth July to mend, haint bin teched yet; nor Anna and Bertha’s” (them’s our two oldest gall) “bedsted that was broke down the niteoftnebig rain, when them two Jester gals got in it along with our two gals, and they pretended to b’leve Jim Shaw was peepin’ at ’em threw the kraek of the winder—that haint bin mend ed yet, and you promised to do it as soon as you lade-by yore corn. It is troo the gals sorter fixed it up the next day arter it broke down, but they didn’t do it right, for it skreecli es and groues so every time one on ’em turns over in it, it’s a wunder they can sleep at all. I can’t. And then thar’s the ash-hopper that you sed you’d fix haint bin teched, nor the”— “Ann Eliza,” sed I, “ef you don’t dry up you’ll drive evry idee out’n my hed.” “I don’t kare ef I do,” said the amable kritter; “yo’re allers tellin’ me to ‘dry up,’ and I shant. I’se jest as good a rite to talk as you has, and I mean to show you that I haint a gwine to sliet up at yore com man’.” My deer Ann Eliza, I wasn’t mad and didn’t mean to hurt your feelins by tellin’ you to dry up. Them’s only slang words I larned in the army, and don’t meen enny harm, j.i you win jest ne quiet ana let me rite to Mr. Willingham, I’ll say somethin’ purty about you, and kiver the corn-krib, and mend the gals’ bedsted, and fix the children’s wagin and the ash-hopper, and do enny thing else you want me to jest as soon as I can,” sed I, sorter soothin’ like. So she dryed rite up, and arter a little while went out to the kitchen whar the gal’s and Jim Shaw and Ike Jester war bilin* ’lasses for kandy, and soon I herd her sweet voice and merry lafier ringin above all the others. Then I sot right down and fit ad that passed betwixt us, jest to su how if wopld look on paper— b ' I ijope yoipjj print it, so she can anu i *vj. Wpn’t she be astonished o L "V word is jest as they tno . Eve* si.jp won’t deny it, nor w r spoke, ana tr 'iw tr i . '< rite about l>ut 1 didn t out {jf&ppod family matters. What jet* -vidflo in sort o’ incidental like, and , it for a introdueshun, and may be will perteck me from sieh another Interrupshun ef I should want to j rite to you agin. Besides it don’t! do no harm to hold up the mirrow so that even one deerest friends can see therselves in it as otlrar peeple see ’em. On the contrary, it does a heep o’ good, ef the reflec shun is natral. Mr. Willingham, sir, I war about giv you a full history of my visit to Atlanty last week, in company with my esteemed friend and nigh neigh ber Dave Mobley, whar we went to sell a lode of peechesand melins and other farm truck, sich as chiqkins and aigs and butter and young mock in-birds, which the ole ’ornan and the children had bin savin up for a long time ; but the darned swet Aim Eliza threw me into jes* j was gwine to begin has well ;,ji| fJriv it ail outen my hed, Hain’t it agra vating, when a fuller thinks every thing is lovely, and he don’t ’spect nothin’ but sweetnesfrom his wife, to have her, without enn v warnin’, pich into him like she did into me? I hain’t a drinkin’ man--but ef I had a little corn juee kon yg nientl’d try to worry down a little jest to steddy m y nerves before pret -eedin’. Well, Mr. Willingham, sir, to make a long story short, Dave and mo got to Atlanty jest as the big clock on Mr. Kimble’s opera house %,ver striken eight in the mornin’ arid afore ten o’clock we sole and give away all our lode, ’cept the purvish uns my wife and the gals iiad pro vided for our lunch and the feed we bro’t for old Jake’s dinner. Dave he use to live in Atlanty and knows most everybody that keeps store thar, and that’s the way I got shet of my truck and things'so soon. Then we druv to a wagin yard nigh Mr. Kimble’s big cotton factory, whar we left ole jake and the wagin ontil : Dave got thro’ showing me round the city. I sed Dave knowed all the store folks, and I don’t bieve I’d be fur wrong ef I had sed he knowed j amost everybody else in Atlanty, for seems he interduced me to moren a thousand persons, and all peared glad to see him, and a great many of’em invited us to “takesumthin’” (which I reck in was whisky, as Dave sed “ no, thankee, ” and he never said so when asked'to take sody or leminade, or apples; and I sed “no thank ye,” too, tho’ he had trotted me round so (Dave rrits over the ground mity fast) that I was mity hot and dry. Bimeby, as we wer percedin’ up the street from the fountain that was give to the city by Miss King, of Augusjy, up comes a nice lookin,’ loud talkin’ gentle man that Dave introdooced me to as Kernel Harris, but who Dave called “Unkle Jeems.” “Well, Dave,” sed Kernel Harris, “I know you never drink, but you won’t objec to your j friend’s goin’ in here” (piutin’ to a CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 24, 1576. store with “No Name” for a sine) “and takin’ a glass of beer with me.” Dave sed “Certainly not,” and so the Kernel took me by the arm and led me thro’ a big krowd of gentlemen that was standin’ inside a’talkin’; j into the pertyest fixed place I ever vver in afore, and going up to the kounter, he asked what I’d take? I said “beer,” ’cause he asked me to | lake beer, tho’ I never tasted any | afore. Then he sed to one of the men behind the kounter. with a white apron on, “Shanghi” and Roberson county,” and direekly the man handed me a glass more’n six inches high juck lull of beer, while he give the Kernel two tumblers, with a spoon in one, and a black bottle, out’en which be helped his self. The beer was mighty nice and coolin’. Arter we had drunk the Kernel introdooced me to some of tlie gentlemen, who lie said wer all candydates; and they no douot ihinkin’ I was a voter of thecounty, begun to ask me about the helth of Ann Eliza and the gals and the other children, and afore 1 could answer they begun to “ take sumthin’.” I wished to ob lege ’em, they seemed so anxious and pressin’|like, out was a f eered enny more beer, and didn’t want to keep Dive awaitin’ too long outside; so 1 konkluded to try a little of the “Roberson county,” but as I didn’t know zactiy wlmt it was, or how t/'uch to take, I told the man with the white apron to fix me up a mod erate uriuk- He give me just about the same d° se 1 saw Kernel Harris take—and arter drinkin’ it I knowed it was whisky, and as strong as aeka forty too. Well, sir, arter awhile I took some more “Shanghi” and a leetle more “Roberson county”—l don’t member how much of either or which —and would a’bin thar a’takin, on one or the other or both till now, ef Dave hadn’t got tired waitin’ and tore me away from them fellers. They didn’t want Dave to take me away ; but he didn’t ask ’em, and when we got in to the street and started for the wag in yard, seemed to me he was goin’ in t he wrong direckshun, so I pulled away from him and slippin’ upon sumthin’ nigh a fruit stand, fell on the hard stones afore the store and hurt my hed. When I come to my self Dave and a feller with a blew cote and gold on his hat and a short stick in his hand, was disputin’ about their rite to me. I didn’t know what was up, but that they was gwine to fite, so 1 picked up a rock aud tole the blew cote ef he didn’t dry up and leeve thar quickr’n lightning I’d knock him into the middle of next week. I tliot he was a Yankee soger, and was gwine to ’rest Dave ; but Gip Greer he come up and says he to me, “Rut down that stone, Jedge; you shan’t be hurt; that man is a perleeser and it’s his dootv to take all drunken people to the kaluboose; but you jest go long with Dave and I’ll make it all right with the perleeser.” Kernel Waddell and Edger Thompson who useter know me afore the war, kuna up then and said they: “Gip is rite, and talkin sense. You go with Dave.” That made me week in the knees and sorter sick at thestummick —to be told in a big krowd like that. I was drunk; so the stone drapped from my hands and I went strate to .nupgiii jard with pave. J don’t member anything more, tell I heerd Dave callin’ to the ferryman to put us across the river. Then I got outen the waggin,and seein thar was no wimmin folks about, ondrest and jumped into the river and swum ar ter the flat to the other side. When I came out and drest and got in the waggin agin I wasaU rite,’cept a bad hedache; but 1 felt powerful meen cause I ’membered then that I hadn’t got any of the things the ole ’oman and the gals had rit on a piece of paper to buy, and wich Rave didn’t know nothing about. Besides Dave he kept a talkin’to me about tem perance and religion, so that I was glad when he got out of the waggin at his dorein Smyrna, case I wanted to be left to my own refleekshuns awhile afore I got home. iqr. \yillinghatq. sir, youfil agree with me that fhat was a mitey bad fix to be in—and me the head of a j ’spectable and interesting family qf j several on married gals'. But anser 1 toadidly, was yon noCT iu ''fie? Er so, you will xcoose me, dM* v ' Eliza won’t nor the gals either, Anu . . I didn’t buy the store especially wsShfiled so bad. I was things they ” u -rolexed. Felt sorely trubbleu aiigfafpg desprit, meen enough to a.- ikiw'tT smooth I was most trubbleu , the matter over with- , p ilk/’ra jest as I turned into the l to my house, I stopt old J a \ ” things in my own mind. But !.■ no go. It wouldn’t do to leil a “6 about it, cause I knowd Dave ajai have no more sense than to tea his wife all about it, and she and fell 1 Ann Eliza. So I konkluded to mak a virtue of necessity, and tell her tne : whole trooth and nuthin but tne j trouth, which you’ve got in those few breef lines. I tole the hole story ( to Ann Eliza jest as I have writ it to j you. She looked mity sorry but didn’t say a word, I ’spose cause she thot she eouldu’t do jestice to the sub jec; or maybe she had kompassion on me, wich 1 hope you will have likewise. , . , But to konklude: I’m konwinced of several tilings, among which is, viz: . , 1. Onless you know what takin and can gage vo better leeve “Shanghi” aim tti ‘ "y ® u fancy clnnks alone; they’ll thu <ad iore you know it, and give you an ake far a week arter. 2. Better leeve ’em alone even if you do think you know all about their weekness or power, case like sum perty women, they are mity de ceevm’ aud will get the better of you sooner or later, and bring you to disgrace and rooiu the hopes of yore family. 3. Avoid all treetin’ candidates, on less you are willing to have a rope put round yore neck and he led to the poles like a thefe to the wippin’-post. 4. Ennybody that haint gotenuff sense and indypendeuce and self respec to choose the best and most littinest man for every public posish un, without bein’ treeted to wyisky or ennythiug else, haint no man at ail, and ought not to be permitted to vote no how.

SAMUEL JONES TILDEN. Governor of the State of Xew York , and Democratic Candidate for the Presidency of the United States. The ancestry of Mr. Tilden was Puritanic. Joseph Tilden, of Ten derden county, Kent, England, was one of the “merchant adventurers” who fitted out the May Flower, which brought the Pilgrims to Ply mouth. From the same county, in 1634, Nathaniel Tilden, brother of ; Joseph, came over in the good “shippe Anne” and settled in the town of Scituate. The family was well connected in England, and by marriage, related to Oliver Crom well, the “Protector.” The name of Tilden is still an honorable one in the old colony. His grandfather re moved to Columbia county, N. Y.. when it wasa wildernes. His father, Elam Tilden, was a staunch Demo crat of the old school. Samuel Jones Tilden, the youngest of the sons of Elam Tilden, was born in New Leb anon, Columbia county, New York., Feb. 9, 1814, consequently he is in the sixty-third year of his age. His fa tlier firmly believing in the Democrat ic doctrines of Jefferson, Jackson and Van Buren, early impressed them upon his son Samuel. In 1832 a coalition was about to bj formed between Anti-Masons and Whigs to defeat the Democrats. This subject was talked over in the family and Samuel, then only eighteen years of age, wrote an article showing the absurdity of such an amalgamation, couched in such strong and logical terms that its authorship was ascribed to Mr. Van Buren, and it was pub lished as a campaign document. When eighteen years of age, he entered tiie sophomore class in Yale College, but was soon compelled to leave on account of the failure of his health. He afterwards completed his education under Chancellor Mat thews, and graduated at the Uni\er sityofNew York. Soon after his graduation, Mr. Tilden commenced the study of the law in the office of the late John Ed minds, in the city of New York, wher#he had peculiar facilities both for the study of the law and politics, Upon admission to the bar, lie opened a law office on Pine street, in the city of New York, l’ol ities raged high in those days, and he soon wrote a series of articles, which were highly praised by the Democracy. He then embarked with a Mr. O’Sullivan in starting the New York Neics, but he soon left the editorial fraternity and was elected a member of the Assembly from New j York. Though a young man , he I took a conspicuous part in the Leg i islature, and was considered one of ! the leaders in that body. During j the session of the Assembly he was I elected a member of the convention which was chosen that year to re model the constitution of the State of New York. In this body, also, ; Mr, Tilden was very prominent, and | many of tho amendments and im provements in the new Constitution emenated from him. Mr. Tilden, j however, soon found that neither i politics nor euiting a pape- paid, and that to occupy a prominent position in the community, money was an es -1 sential ari*oi, r>4 that the way to acc.Ttauiate this was to apply fiim self to the duties of his protession. Ile'now measurably withdrew from the political arena, and applied him i self with great zeal and energy to the practice of the law, in which ho soon became as eminent as he bad i been in politics. He was retained as | counsel in many of the most ipapor i taut cases that came before the courts and was generally successful in ob taining a verdict for his clients. But the great work in which he pre eminently shone as a reformer was in encountering and overthrowing the so-called “ring” of New York. This was one of the most gigantic frauds ever foisted upon any commu nity. The schemers and shrewd poU iticians were composed of both Hetn ocrats and Republicans, and it was a combination between the officials of the city and the members of the assembly at Albany. Their object was, by this combination, to defraud | the city, und they did defraud it of ! several millions of dollars. Mr. Til ! den, with Mr. O’Connor, a prominent auuDiey cf ? he city, and others? get themsefvpi gf work to ferret out the scoundrels who had oiitpred into this wicked conspiracy, and sq effectually did they accomplish tbe work that they drove this banditti from their strongholds, caused them to disgorge th£ enormous sums of Which they they h?d plundered the city and take tne-r flight from civilized society, no man .knoweth w.hither until this day. Though tun firnes newspaper, of the city of New York, attempted filch from Mr. Tilden ,the k.ooor ana ! he credit which he justly deserved for the conspicuous part which he took I us this great refyrin, yet the com in u ! nity generally, and many of the lte ; publican newspapers believed that ! but for his giant grasp upon the lead ers, the backbone of that infamous conspiracy would scarcely have been broken. Mr. Tilden, therefore, stands pre eminently as the reformer of his day. As Governor of the Empire State, Mr. Tilden has thus far filled the of fice to the entire satisfaction of the party by whom he was elected. In deed, everybody must acknowledge that the man who could defeat the old hero General Dix, in a popular election, must be possessed of. quali ties well calculated to make him the I favorite pf tbe people, standing thus hpfore the nation as Utical leader from Uu youth up, a po. prominent lawyer at the and as . bar, arid as ttjp great re- New York -**£ the Democrats are former of the u, i n putting forth fully pursuaded tn. r or the Pres as their standard-bea* -yf Samuel J. idency. in the selection c right Tilden, they have placed '^tDly man in the right place.

T. A. HENDRICKS. Thomas Andrews Hendricks, of Indiana, nominated as the Democratic candidate for Vice-Pi'f-sideut, is five years younger than Mr. Tilden, having been born in Muskingum county, Ohio, September 7th, 1819. When he was only three years old his father removed Indiana, and that was his home ever afterward. Mr. Hendricks received a liberal education, and graduated from Hanover college in 1841, after which lie studied law in the office of the late Judge Thompson, of Chambersburg, pa., and wasadmit ted to the Franklin county bar in 1843, the distinguished jurist Jere miah S. Black, being at the time the 1 presiding justice of the courts of the I county He leturned to Indiana, im mediately after coming to the bar, and began to practice his profession. Success was not long in coining to the young lawyer, and he soon ac ; quired not only a competence but a high place at the bar. He had not been long at the bar, however, when he began his political career. In 1848 he was chosen a member of the Indiana Legislature, and in 1850 he served in the State Constitutional convention. During the next five years he was a representative in Con gress, and in 1855 President Pierce appointed him Commissioner of the General land office.. He continued to hold his position under Mr. Buch anan’s administration until 1859, when he resigned. In 1800 he was the Democratic candidate for Gover nor of Indiana, but was defeated by Henry S. Lane. Lane was soon after wards chosen United States Senator, and in Is Oil Hendricks became his ! colleague in the Senate. At this time the Democracy was a very weak minority in that body, but Mr. Hen | drieks succeeded in making a great reputation in the Senate, botli as a statesman and a lawyer, lie was j active and outspoken in opposition to the Republican measures of the time, among them the the bill over turning the old State governments jof the South, the civil rights bill | and the Freedman’s Bureau bill. i I th© imjrctwl©t tiinl uf An drew Johnson he played an import ant part and added greatly to his rep utation as a lawyer. In a single term in the Senate Mr. Hendricks acquired a position of great promi nence before the country, and lie placed himself so far forward in Ids party that since 1808 he has been regarded ai among tHe available Democratic candidates for the Presidency. But for the Greeley movement he might have been nomi nated in 1872. After his retirement from the Sen ate in 1809 Mr. Hendricks returned to the practice of his profession at Indianapolis, hut he was not long allowed to remain out of public life. After Greeley’s nomination at Baltimore, Hendricks was induced i to accept a nomination for Governor of Indiana, in order to strengthen the Presidential ticket, and after a bitter convass, he was elected by a small majority, the rest of the ticket, except the Superintendent of Public Instruction, being lost to the Demo cracy. The personal popularity of Governor Hendricks carried him through, but he bad the advantage of having an opponent against whom the temperance sentiment of his State was arrayed. He lias made an acceptable Governor, and has offend ed only in one respect—by signing a local option liquor bill, which was subsequently repealed. Governor Hendricks is a man of strong and generous instincts. Social | ly he is one of the most agreeable ] men in public life, and he carries the urbanity for which he is noted into the court room as well as the execu tive chamber. He possess a fund of wit and anecdote which makes him a charming companion. His words are felicitously chosen, his sentences always well constructed and his elocution fluent and easy. His house is full of hooks and paintings, and although not a scholar in the highest sense, he is well versed in literature and has been an especially close stud ent of and A moriaan oratory. In business affairs he is careful, me thodical and prompt leberal with out being extravagant—and he has the reputation of being an honest man. ills name on tne uckrt ™ ex pected to add materially to Tilden’s strength in the West, REPUBLICAN CA.WFAJ-JN.
