by Acclamation.
Dalton, .Sept. 7, 1876.
At li o’clock a. 5 m. the delegates
from the various counties of the Sev
enth Congressional District met in
the court house, when Col. J VV Wol
ford,, of Bartow, chairman of the
District Executive Committee called
tlie meeting to order.
On motion of T It Sones, of Whit
field, Mr C A Dun woody of Cobb
was made temporary president. Up
on taking the chair, Mr. Dun woody
made a slirring speech in favor of
Democratic harmony and the neces
sity of complete organization in our
ranks.
Mr Jones of Whitfield, moved that
C H C Willingham of the Cartersville
Express, and W II Walker of the
Catoosa Courier , be made secretai ies,
which was adopted.
The call of the counties was then
called, when the names of the dele
gates were called :

To Jli lowers , Jr., care M It Cra
mer :
Because of the train’s delay our
delegation cannot go to Dalton.
T W Alexander.
The following letter was then read
from Col Abda Johnson :
Atlanta, Sept. 6, 1876.
Dear Sir —lt is impossible for me
to leave here to go to Dalton to-mor
row, how’ever much I regret it.
Please notify an alternate and have
someone to go in my place. While
I have neither right nor authority to
direct any one in my place, I will ex
press a preference honestly felt, and
that is that the convention will unan
imously nominate Col W H Dabney.
I believe it is not only due to him,
but that it is the interest of the Dem
ocratic party.
If Dr Felton’s proposition as to a
nomination should be made, I would
object to considering it for several
reasons. Among others, that it does
not become the Democratic party to
invite or allow the Republicans to
aid in the nomination of a Demo
cratic ticket; that his plan is now im
practicable and almost impossible of
execution to the satisfaction of those
interested, and that he ought not to
be allowed to dictate to the party.
Very respectfully,
A. Johnson.
On motion of Mr Jones of Whit
field, the following committee on
permanent organization was ap
pointed :
Bartow, T J Lyon ; Catoosa, W A
it’ -1 , / U>„ T XT r T’.j I !*> fiiri*rv 1

after a short absence, returned with
the following report:
President —Col A T Hackett,
Gordon. ,
Secretaries —C II C WipHgham
and W H Walker. „_ T ,
Assistant Secretaries- 1 Fi an bury

On motion of CA Waddell, a com
mittee of three was appointed to con
duct the present to the chair Uli
on taking the same Col Hackett made
a warm u*d enthusiastic speech of
twenty Hiinutes, counseling harmony
i P the Democratic party.
A motion of Col Luffman to go into
a balloting for a candidate for Con
gress, which was amended by a mo
tion of Mr Murphey to nominate

which was carried without a dissent
ing voice, and amidst great applause.
On motion of Col Waddell, the fol
lowing committee on resolutions or
platform was appointed :

On motion of Mr Dunwoody, the
convention adjourned to 2:30 P M.
afternoon session.
The convention reassembled, and
was called to order by the president.
Col Waddell, chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions, made the fol
lowing report:
The Democratic party of the Sev
enth Congressional District of Geor
gia in convention assembled, reaffirm
their undeviatijig devotion to the
time-honored principles of the old
party, which the degeneracy of the
times has left to the real friends of
popular liberty, and renew their
vows of eternal fidelity to the only
political organization which has
maintained the theory and illustrated
by practice in the past, throughout a
long series of years, the ideal of citi
zen-liberty for which so many of
the fathers and founders of the re
public fought and bled and died.
The convention fully endorses the
principles set forth in the platform
promulgated at St. Louis. This con
vention fully endorses the nomina
tions of Til den and Hendricks there
at made. This convention fully en
dorses the platform of principles laid
down by the recent State Gubernato
rial Convention: This convention ful
ly indorses the nomination of Hon.
A II Colquitt for governor of Georgia,
and this' convention also folly con
demns any course of policy which
may in any degree tend to disturb
the harmony or lead to disintegra
tion. In unity only lies strength,
•md this convention as an assurance
of its faith in the principles above
announced, feels a pride in presenting
to the freemen of the district Col
Wm H Dabney as a tit person to re
flee* their sentiments and represent
themselves in the Congress ot the
United Stales.
The report ol the committee was
unanimously adopted, amidst great
applause, upon motion of Mr. Mur
phev.
v 3ir, Gray moved that the president
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1S?(>.
| of the convention appoint an execu
tive committee, to be composed of
: one member from each county in the
j district.
Mr. Murphy, chairman of the com
mittee to notify Col Dabney of his
nomination anrl request his ac
ceptance, reported that the com
mittee had discharged its duty, aid
that Colonel Dabney would sig
nify his acceptance in person before
the convention. [Loud and vocifer
ous calls for Dabney.]
Col Dabney then, in a few remarks,
appropriately chosen, thanked the
convention for the honor conferred,
and accepted the nomination, invok
ing the aid of each individual mem
ber of the Democratic party, he
pledged himself to carry aloft the
banner extended to his hands, above
the clouds of dust, and near it to
victory, or if it should fall to fall
with it.
Col J W Harris, of Bartow' was
then called upon to make a speech
that aroused great enthusiasm anil
cheers for Democracy.
Col John VV Wofford was next
called upon and made one of his
strong speeches exposing the con
spiracy being negotation between
Dr Felton and Major Hargrove for
an alliance defensive and offensive.
The president of the convention
announced that inasmuch as three
counties were not represented he
would hold up an announcement of
the executive commitee for a few
days.
Ordered that the papers of the
district and those of Atlanta publish
these proceedings.
On motion the convention was ad

SEVENTH DISTRICT.
Independent Candidacy of Mr. Wm. L.
Goodwin.
Editor Atlanta lie publican :
Sir— l desire, through your paper,
to arouse the Republicans of the
Seventh Congressional District to a
sense of their duty.
It appears from the non-action of
the Executive Committee that there
is to he no convention called for the
nomination of a member of Congress
in this District. Can it be possible
that, at a time likethopresent, when
it is so necessary that the full vote of
the party should be drawn out, that
our Executive Committee are not
wide awake enough to our interests to
at once assemble and call a conven
tion for the purpose of putting for
ward a man who can and will make
a successful race?
Never was there a time in the his
tory of our party in this State, when
it was more necessary that we should
show our strength; never has there
been a campaign in which we had
more reasons for exerting ourselves,
or in which we had equal prospects
of success, in this Congressional Dis
trict.
The Democratic party is split icide
open!
The independent candidate has al
ready announced himself, is canvass
ing the District and parading before
the people what hecalls “his record,”
asking their support for a re-election
on the grounds that lie lias been fully
as Democratic as the majority of the
present “Confederate Congress;” and
from his statements one *vnn!ri vw
lieve that he certain V Y? S a ve *T
prominent man '■* the Democratic
ranks at Wa”’ lln £ton City.
This j dependent candidate who,
two x-ars ago, was so an° us to re
the Republican vote, and who
.tow disowns the power which elect
ed him, of late- has been forced to de
fine his position. He yesterday, in a
speech in Cartersville, announced
himself straightout for “Tilden and
Hendricks” and all of the most rigid
Democratic measures; rejoicing in
the thought that very soon this entire
Government would he in the hands
of th3 Democratic party; then would
follow the good old times of peace
and prosperity ; and that, until this
present horridly corrupt Administra
tion, as he styled it, had been set
aside, we could under no circumstan
ces expect to again L-e a prosperous
and happy people.
Many Republicans supported Fel
ton at the last Congressional election;
but with the light now before us —
with his actions, his sayings, and
votes in Congress, and with the plain
assertions that he now makes—it is
impossible for any true Republican to
again vote for him and do justice to
himself and his party.
The Democratic Convention of this
District w’ill meet in a few days, and
I have no doubt but what some
straight-out, true Democrat wili he
put forwaed 38 their nominee,
Col. Dabney, no doubt, will again
he the man. He is a strong man—a
Democrat, true to his party, and one
who will make a good race; there
fore, as things will then stand, we
Republicans will have or can have no
incentive for voting for either. As
there would be hut a very small
choice betw’een two evils, we might
either take Dabney for bad, or Fel
ton for worse.
I earnestly desire that each county
in this District should wake up. Let
every member of the Republican
party constitute himself a committee
of one to canvass his immediate
neighborhood and impress upon his
friends and neighbors the great ne
cessity which now exists of electing
our President and Vice President.
Convince yourselves of the folly of
supporting either of the Democratic
candidates for Congress, as it can he
of no possible advantage to the Re
publican party, or any individual of
our party, that either of them should
be elected.
I for one shall still strive to have
some true Republican put forward as
our nominee—one who will be found
canvassing the District and fighting
for Republican principles and the
Republican ticket until the polls are
eolored‘on,;the first No
vember next. And rather than fail
in this, or rather than that the Re=
publicans of this district shall be
forced to choose between two Demo
crats alone, I hereby announce my

MESSAGE TO DEMOCRATS.
Address of the Executive Committee.
Office of the Dem. Ex. Com.. \
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 1,1876. f
, To the Democratic Party of Georgia:
Fellow-Citizens The Demo
| eratie Executive Committee of this
| State, at its meeting held in this city
on the 2oth ultimo, made it my duty,
as Chairman, to issue an address to
you, embodying the views of the
Committee on the subject of party or
ganization, unity and activity, ex
pressed in the following resolutions
adopted by the n :
Resolved , That recognizing the ne
cessity of organization as an impor
tant condition of large success, we
exhort the Democracy of each county
in the State to look carefully and
promptly to thorough organization,
establishing a system where it may
be wanting, and perfecting it where
it now exists, and that the Chairman
or Secretary of such organization he
requested to make report to the Sec
retary of this Committee without un
necessary delay.
Resolved, That we consider party
unity to be of prime importance, and
we do earnestly deprecate all inde
dependent candidacy.
Resolved, That we do bespeak that
activity of the party which the po
litical issues justify and demand,
confidently recommending in con-'
neethm therewith the continuance of
a just and honorable conduct toward
our political opponents.
The propriety and wisdom of these |
resolutions will he readily appre
hended by every right thinking
mind, anti commend them to the
approval of every true Democrat in
the State. The importance of the
political issues which are involved
in the campaign upon which we have
entered, cannot be over estimated.
No friend of good government can
view with unconcern the total disre
gard of the constitution which has
characterized the administration of
the Republican partv for the last
eleven years. No lover of his coun
try can indulge supineness or indif
ference. while the Radical party with
a step as steady as time, is under
mining the foundation upon which
our political system was built, de
stroying every right that belongs to
the States, and driving the country
headlong into a corrupt consolidation
and a centralized despotism. No
man who loves virtue, or honesty, or
truth, can fail to experience a just
moral indignation at the abuses,
frauds, wrongs and crimes that have
been heaped upon the people of these
United States by Republican office
holders of eveiy class, and in every
department of the Government.
1 speak to you, my fellmv-eitizens,
in all frankness when I declare, that
if the Republican party shall con
tinue to control and administer tiie
government under which we live, in
my judgment, constitutional liberty
is at an end, and the glory of our
! country’s excellency will be lost in
the night of usurpation, tyranny and
despotism.
Such are the views and sentiment
| of the best patriots and wisest states
men of Hie present day, and *uch
were the views and sentiment* that
prompted our Democratic Kethren
who assembled in National Conven
tion at St. Louis, MissoivU. to pro
mulgate a platform that oeßins, con
tinues and ends with * patriotic de
mand for purifica**-'" aaH.re&rcon
everything and its
nectetLrraiion. Appreciating the
{he stern and absolute necessities of
the times, these heroic Democrats
placed upon the platform a candidate
for President whose entire public
history has been a gallant and suc
cessful struggle against official cor
ruption and fraud, and in favor of re
form and honesty in the government
of the State, whose political and
financial welfare we reconfided to his
management. S. J. Tilden, of New
York, is political reform and official
honesty “manifest in the flesh.” The
principle of purity in office-holders,
and honesty in the administration of
government, finds in him a living
and powerful incarnation. He is a
standard-hearer whose leadership in
spires hope, and whose election will
save the country from ruin, and per
petuate the liberties of the people.
With Tilden at the head, the triumph
of the Democratic party in Novem
ber next will mean the constitution
preserved ; the government rescued
from centralism ; sectional hate ob
literated ; peace re-established be
tween North and South ; equal and
exact justice meted out to all men of
all Classes; church and State totally
separated; popular education free
from all preferences for sect, classes
or creeds; the supremacy of the civil
over the military power maintained;
the substitution of honesty for uis
honesty in office-holders; the aboli
tion of every useless office ; a sounder
and better currency provided for the
people; ajuster and wiser tariff than
we now have; governmental expen
ditures diminished and public econo
my enforced ; capital freed from dis
trust and labor disburdened and em
ployed ; the public credit rest)red
and the national honor reburnished i
and maintained; commerce and trade !
revived and made profitable ; indus- j
try ‘and manufactures re-energized, |
and the entire land brightened with
peace and prosperity again.
All these political and social bless
ings are in store for the people of
these United States, if in this mo
mentous crisis th”y shall prove true
to themselves and true to the obliga
tions of the enlightened patriotism.
Jn a time like this let no Democrat
hesitate or waver in the discharge of
his duty. Let neither personal in
terest par gelti-sh ambition produce
confusion in our camp'or cause dis
order in our lines. Let the party be
well organized in every county in
the State, and let every Democrat
stand by the organization and its
candidates through w’oe as well as
Weal. Iteing brethren of a common
political faith, let us not antagonize
or make war on each other, but let us
contend with manly earnestness for
our principles, and strive only against
our enemies. True to her sublime
faith, and faithful to hpr high mis
sion, let the Democratic party move
grandly up to the contest with an
unbroken line, presenting to her
enemies and to the world the invinci
ble buckler of a compact and thor
ough organization.
Let us labor with sjeeple^sdiligence
and tireless industry to bring every
Democratic voter to the polls, and by
every means consistent with a just
anti honorable conduct toward our
political enemies, let us induce, if
possible, every lover of constitutional
liberty and good government to unite
with us in giving tQ om’ oandidates
fqr governor, Legislators, Congress
menj President and Vice-President
such a unanimous and overwhelm
ing vote as that the very name ot
Radicalism will be lost and the
places that now know it will kuow
it no more for ever.
Witn high respect, I am, fellow
citizens, Geo. N. Lester,

ARKANSAS,
A Trip to this State Graphically Describee
by a Bartow County I.ady.
1 o the Editor of The Eupress:
Only tho desire to tell you that I
received and appreciate the compli
ment contained in your request in
duces me to send this communication,
j No attempt will he made to de
scribe, no not even to mention all
the interesting sights that have been
enjoyed during the past four weeks,
an abler pen is necessary to the task
! Our own natural curiosity Lookout
Mountain, was shut out from iny ea
gt-r eyes by the shadows of the night
as we passed it,eu route for Arkan
sas. The laughing, beautiful Ten
nessee river, visible by tho early
dawn’s roseate glow, seemed a silver
girdle around the bright, green val
ley which lay so quietly and lovely
in the morning light. Memphis,
Tennessee afforded some rare enjoy
ments. lis elegant hotel “Peabody
House” revived memories of those
never-to-be-forgotten tales “Arabian
Nights,” and hut for the living de
light experienced in the magnificent
apartment devoted to Epicurius, 1
might have believed it ah a dream,
or would vanish altogether from my J
sight, at the faintest “rubbing of the
wonderful lamp.”
On a high, pleasant bluff, over
hanging the mosaic-like paved quay
we stood to obtain my first view’ of
the “Father of Waters.” Grand,
majestic, beautiful river, “stretching
from perpetual snows to perrennial
flowers, our people, like thy waters
should he united in peace even for
ever!” Not even in my most ex-!
travagant imaginings did I picture
him so beautiful and grand. From
the bluff, the prospect before, around
and below grew so vast that the mind
failed to grasp it at once, and no
brief description can convey any ad
equate conception of its bewildering
extent and transcendant loveliness.
Long we lingered, drinking in the
soft, delicious morning air, as it was
wafted us fresh from the bosom of
the gulf. Never shall I live so long
as to cease to remember with pleas-1
ure the happiness brought me by j
my introduction to the Mississippi j
river, at the “Bluff City.”
At Forest City a comparatively '
new town in this State, on the Mem-!
phisand Little Rock Railroad. I was;
made to believe, seeing is believing,
that all railroads are not so fearfully ’
winding as the Western & Atlantic ;
road in Georgia. A perfectly level
straight stretch of fifty miles of rail
road, is certainly to he admired, par
ticularly hy one quite unused to such
an object. It is a positive pleasure
tojtravel those fifty miles in a Pull-!
man palace coach. There is no ex
cuse for travelers being “left” in that 1
part of the country, since the engine’s
I headlight can he seen miles and i
miles away, shining like some
slr-tnge, brilliant meteor. The town
| i* a very healthy, pleasant one, and
dts present outlook good; the coun
try around boasts of “as fine crops as
can grow anywhere,” and farm lands
can be purchased at $4 per acre. The
soft radiance of the moon lighted us
over a prairie 40 miles wide and 70
miles long. I have never
upon anything more bean f *.' w ‘
a prairie. The for-y surrounding
this, mxterMuftUYiafurally suppose
gradually into shrubs and bushes’ j
but tne great old trees stop abruptly i
as if in obedience to the command 1
“thus far shalt thou pco and no fitu. ,
ther.” The earth is carpeted over j
with rich, dark green grasses and j
flowering weeds, which hy the moon
light semed as smooth andjregular as
a freshly shorn velvet lawn. These
unique grounds surely furnish a rare
and beautiful hMile for happy birds
and a paradise for the browsing kine.
Arkansas has certainly many fine,
majestic rivers and her forests are
glorious—quite unlike those of Geor
gia, being completely devoid of all
undergrowth, and the grand, lofty I
trees stand many feet apart. Indeed,
a wagon and team can, without diffi
culty, pass anywhere over these
weeds.
The sojourn in the capital city of
this State, the “City of Roses” was
all that possioly could have been de
sired. The city impresses one imme
diately with its bright healthful ap
pearance, and is situated on a bluff
on the South bend of the Arkansas
river, thus commanding a magnifi
cent view of the surrounding coun
try. Fine business edifices, elegant
residences, tell of its refined, wealthy
20,000 inhabitants. Little Rock is
no city of the past, but is indeed of
the present, and is wide-awake to the
happier future that is dawning upon
it and the State. It may not be
amiss to give the origin of its name,
which is derived from the remarka
ble fact, that there is not a rock of
any size at all to he found along the
banks of theiriver, all the way up
from where it unites its waters with
those of the Mississipi, until reaching
this point. Hero are two rocks,
respectively Little Lock and Big
Rock, the latter being on the oppo-
I site bank of the river, and a few
miles above the former.
These sultry midsummer days are
) being enjoyed by your correspondent
at the White Sulphur Spring in the
town ofSearcy, White county, Ark. ■
This Spring is celebrated and has j
been patronized over 25 years, and !
has effected many wonderful cures in
the many diseases whereunto flesh is
These remarkable waters cer
taiWPallow no torpidity in its many
visitors, for in a few minutes after
drinking of the pure, light and
delightllilly cool White Sulpher, one
finds handkerchief and palm leaf at
a fine premium, as profuse perspira
tion is immediately induced.
To each and all of our friends in
Georgia, particularly in North Geor
gia we send our kindest greet
ing, and promise them, and
yourself, a less disjointed letter some
time when “the spirit” is more fav
orable moved. J. H. J.
