Cartersville, September 14, 1876. *
|>K. FELTON'S PROPOSITION.
At the end of a circular, as a post- j
nipt to the same, lately . issued by i
])r. Felton, he makes the following
statement :
In order to harmonize the discordant j
sdemenG in the In ’ i<iera' party, I make the j
following prop AO n : on the day of thy.
general election, in October, each voter in the ,
Seventh Congressional distiict shall record!
upon the back of his ticket for Governor his
j.reference for Congress as between myself and
tbe nominee ol the approaching Dal lon con
vention, and 1 will abide tbe result of sa.d pii
jnary elections.
The Democratic Cogressiona! con
vemion met at Dalton on Tliu c-lay
last, and no such proposition submit-1
ted to the convention by Dr. Felton, j
nor by any body for him. Therefore j
no proposition iias been mad© by j
Dr. Felton as above stated. If Dr.
Felton had been sincere, bis proposi
tion would have been presented to
the convention in his own handwrit
ing and over his own sign-manual. ;
Thi* in true and undeniable. Now, will
Dr. Felton attempt to beguile and
deceive the people all over this dis
trict that lie has made tbe above
proposition to the Demorcraiic par
ty ?
Wo understand that Maj. Zach
ariah I*, llargrove, the Republican
postmaster at Home, and the leader
of His ©arty in this district, claims to
be the author of the above so-called
proposition, and that he suggested it
to Dr. Felton, before he (Dr. F.) ac
cepted. That Hargrove claims to
have been the author of the above
proposition we are prepared to prove
by Mr. John It. Towers Jr., of Rome.
If he is tiue, then the question
becomes one of veracity notween I)r.
Felton and Maj. Hargrove. Let them
settle it.
It is well known that Hargrove is
anxious to split the Democratic par
ty in order to secure Republican su
premacy in this Congressional dis
trict. It is wed known to be a part
of his policy in doing so to support
j)r. Felton for Congress now and the
same was his object two years ago.
It is well known that Dr. Felton and
Maj. Hargrove are closeted together
whenever the former goes to Rome.
These facts being known is it strange
that Hargrove should furnish Dr.
Felton with a proposition ostensibly
fur Democratic harmoney but
whichm.^ 41 sv H l \
Felton HargrovealiiiHVt'l* L i '"' ) l!:t
The proposition, we regret to see,
is not properly understood by the
people. It is deceptive and calcula
ted te mislead. Indeed, it is intend
ed to mislead, in order to make a
spurious capital. When written ic
was known that no good Democrat,
whether he be a Dabney or Felton
man, could accept such terms with
Radicalism. When did the Domo
to aid in a Democratic nomination?
Whoever heard of such a thing?
What Democrat, understanding its
meaning, could think of accepting
such a monstrous proposition of alli
ance with Radicalism in allowing
Radicals lo aid in a Democratic nom
ination ? Are l lie honest people of
this district lo be gulled-in this way
and have Hit wool pulled over their
eyes iu such a manner?
It is with pair, we make the above
e.rpose < f Dr. Felton’s so-cniled prop
osition for harmony in tito Demo
cratic party; we regret that a sense
of duty to the people compels us to
do this thing, but we shall not be
guilty of the charge of allowing the
J Hipest people of the district to be im
posed upon. We have nothing to
make in politics. We receive no
honors in the part we take in poli
tics. We are not a candidate for of
fice, not even f'< r Congress, and we
have no favorite to promote outside
of the good of the people we serve
as a journalist. Therefore, we do
not intend to stand by and allow
them to be deceived. If they condemn
Tiie Express for uttering the truth
we cannot help it; we shall stand by
the truth always.
A CITY IX DEED DISTRESS.
“He that giveth to the poor lend
elh to the Lord.” He that opens Ids
hand to the call of distress is worthy
of ail praise. It is enough to know
that human suffering is abroad in the
beautiful city of Savannah for every
philanthropist to respond to the call
of charity. Up to Tuesday night,
and within forty-eight hours, sixty
six deaths were reported—nearly all
from y ?Ho\v fever. Savannah is
stricken with a terrible scourge, and
her poor a ad heiress people are suf
fering for the necessities of life—for
medicines and for such nourishment
as sick people need.
In another column we publish ap- i
ptais for aid from the good peopled;
Cartersvilie and Jlartow county. We i
do not fee! that it is neecsiary for us
to appeal directly : .e a Christian peo
ple in such an emergency. It is
enough for them to know that dis
tress may be greatly alleviated by 1
these small contributions to the
stricken people of Savannah.
Let everybody send their contribu
tions at once according to the instruc
tions elsewhere given. It is prompt
ar; not tardy charity that is now
needed to relieve the distressed vic
tims of the yellow fever scourge in
Savannah. Immediate action is the
word.
Okl Uncle Jonathan Norcross is
still running for Governor. Does
the old gentleman really think he
will be elected? ■ Being a candidate
for Governor is glory enough for old
Uncle Jonathan, It will do him as
much good to run as would be to j
others to be elected. We admire the j
Did man’s spunk.
THE R£l'l KLICiUN MCSS.
The Republicans of this district are ,
in u considerable stir as to what
course they will take in the Congress- 1
ional election. At Romo, we are in
formed by a Republican in this
place, Maj. Hargrove, who claims to
be the author of l)r. Felton’s so-cali
id Democratic proposition to har
monize the party, is busily at work
trying to arraign the Republicans
therem the Felton line in order, as
hb writes to a Republican here, to
~11 it the Democratic party. Borne
weeks ago, Hargrove wrote a letter
to a Republican of this town, a copy
of which we have seen, advising
the Republicans to keep quiet until
they ,-iw his line; that they could
form an alliance defensive and offen
sive with the Felton wing of the
Democracy for the purpose of accom
plishing the disruption o r our par
ly-
The Republicans hereabout do not
like Hargrove’s line. They are in
favor of a candidate of their own and
swear they will not again support
Dr. Felton as they did two years ago.
We publish in The Express this!
week a letter from Mr. W. L. Good
win declaring himself an indepen
dent candidate, determined to run
the race out unless his party makes a !
nomination. Goodwin is thoroughly j
determined in this matter, and we
may look for a lively Republican j
fight in this campaign.
Maj. Hargrove'took a Hying trip j
to Cartersville on Saturday last. He !
remained not more than an hour.
During that time he met with Col. ;
Akerman, who is opposed, we under
stand, to Hargrove’s project ; the ;
postmaster and other prominent
members of the Republican party.
We believe no conclusion was reach
ed. The object of Hargrove in de
siring his party to support Dr. Fel- j
ton, as we are informed by a Repub- >
lican, is that by so doing Republi
cans may be elected to some of the
offices in several of the counties of j
the iliErrict.
T Rheepupiicans here are deter
mined to force Hargrove into line.
They say he shall not go otherwise
except at the lisle of losing his official
scalp. They swear they will not
enter into any alliance with Dr. Fel
ton; that they are dissatisfied with
him and will not again bo drawn
into his support. Some of them be
lieve Hargrove is looking aft r the
Rome post office in view of Til
den’s election, as he declared himself
a Jefiersonian Democrat in a public
speech here in November 1874. If
he can use the Republicans for Dr.
Felton he will except reciprocation
if Tilden is elected. This is the idea
of the Republicans here as we under-
Land it. and they are determined
Hargrove shall not use the party to
1 that end.
R‘--r)idTics^. we liave & iven of the
- V 7, 4 stale the facts
in the manner as given . _
publicans and as we gather them
from sources we believe to be reli
able. There i; n > doubt there is disa
greement in the camp, and that it
is determined llargove shall not no
longer lead the party. If what they
tell us be true they are not half men

THE KINGSTON' CONVENTION.
The convention at Kingston last
Saturday to nominate a candidate
for Senator from the forty-second
| district nirned out differently from
what many supposed. In place of
awarding the candidate to Fioyd it
was declared that Chattooga was en
titled to the nominee, and Col. J.
R. Gamble was made the nominee
; bv acclamation. We understand that
; Col. Gamble is a most excellent man
| and will be popular as our State Sen
j ator.
It has been our impression since
our n-Lienee in Cherokee Georgia,
that Floyd was entitled to the next
Senator, tut after seeing the matter
discussed pro and con we have been
unable to determine in ourown mind
which county held the rightful
claim. For these reasons and as an act
of justice, We have given both Sides
; a hearing whenever asked to do so.
; But tire convention having decided
; t!ie matter and a nomination having
j been made unanimous by it, we can
express our approval of what lias
been done, and support the ticket
cordially.
The decision of the convention and
the nomination both meet (lie gen
eral approved of our people so far as
we have heard expressions on the
subject, and we h ave id <1 mat that
Bartow will stand square tolhenom
nation whoever else may be in the
field. We hope to have no wrung- i
ling on this point, for God knows we :
have had enough, be it to the shame ■
of the Democracy, in this section.
We are glad to annouce that I Ton.
A, 11. Stephens was last week unani
mously nominated for re-election to
congress The people of the eighth
district comprise a class of citizen
ship not exedud m point of intelli
gence by any other section of the
State. They understand the dii'Ar
en ee between having a states
man in Congress and a mere icpre
s.’(dative without abi'ity or influence.
They stand to their best n an. Though
,if 31 r. Stephens were to die there are
other able and distinguished gentle
men in that district to take his place;
bates lor-/as the sage of Liberty
Hall survives and there is hope of
hC services, none of these will care
to take the mantle of the good old
statesman.
E. Y. Clarke, of the Constitution >
and Miss Nora V. Harrison, both of
Atlanta, were married on the Gth
inst., the cere money being witnessed
by a large number of friends. We j
had the pleasure of seeing the happy
couple at Dalton, at the supper house
on their way northward, and seemed
as happy :s a couple of doves in the
M-ring lime. Our benediction to
them is, may they ever remain as
cooing doves, be prosperous and live
to a green old ago.
TUB DALTON CONVENTION.
The proceedings ot the Congres
sional convention last week will be j
found in The Express this week.
From these it will be seen that Coi. ;
William H. Dabney, of Floyd coun
ty, was nominated by acclamation, ,
as was expected would be the case,
the delegates from all the counties I
being nearly all instructed to vote for j
him. The charge that Col. Dabney
was promised the present momma
rion, if lie accepted the oue made at
Rome two years ago, is absurd and
foolish, asjthere was no understand- !
ing of the sort entered into. Whoever
makes it does so for political effect
and not to tell the truth.
There is every reason to believe
that Col. Dabney will be elected by a
handsome majority, as le would
have been elected two years ago had
he been nominated five days before
he was —a fact since admitted by his
sincere opponents. Now that he goes
into the canvass fairly and squarely,
; :.d in due time, we entertain little
doubt of his success in behalf of the
Democratic party. Besides, it is very
apparent that the great bulk of the
Republican party which voted
against him two years ago will be
concentrated upon a candidate of
their own, and thus increase the
chances of Coi. Dabney. If the Re
publicans should be trained and form
the same alliances they did two years
ago, it will be hard work to elect
i Dabney.
We are glad to state that Col. Dab
ney will, in a few days, enter the
; canvass actively. We ask for him a
I candid and respectful bearing from
all who call themselves Democrats.
We guarantee he will say nothing to
offend any who may disagree with
him, and that he will resort to no
clap-trap demigogism to bespatter
; himself with self-laudation. As Isis
| Democracy is unquestioned, and he
wilt not have to establish his record
j as a Democrat, his speeches will be a
vindication of Democratic principles,
a ulaulloii of the needs of the coun
try, the wants of t.*o people and the
public weal. He will have no war to
snake oil the Democratic party now
so well organized all over the land
except here in the seventh Congres
sional district,
A CONSTITUTIONAL convention.
This is a very important subject to
the people of Georgia in the pending
campaign. We fear that in the ex
citement of other issues it wfll be for
gotten. It should be remembered
that the people have been clamoring
for several years for a voice in their
organic laws —desiring to rid them
selves of the bastard document under
which we now live, and which was
J thrust upon them by means the most
foul and damnable, and at the point
of the bayonet as well as at Federal
dictation. In other words, we are
living under a constitution never
I framed by tbe true people of the
by scallawags, carpet-bag
g-and scv j'eis under orders
fl ' OU ; City, issued by the
most corruptly’ am*.—v *
inent that ever ruled over a tVee"atiu
| brave people.
In this connection it Is proper to
say that cue friends of the payment
of the illegal bonds are already or
ganized for the purpose of securing a
recognition of them before the next
Legislature. As long as the present
constitution exists the people may
expect t > jiave these infernal frauds
I thrust into their faces fi r payment;
but with such a constitution as the
i people themselves would frame, these
: frauds would be buried into oblivion
| and we should no more hear of them.
If the people do not look to this
| matter, they will elect another Legis
lature that will refuse to give them
an opportunity for a constitutional
convention, There is no toiling what
influences will be brought to bear on
the next Legislature, and ail suc
ceeding ones, until we have been rid
of the obnoxious constitution that
allows a hearing to these illegal
bonds.
Now, people of Georgia! let us put
the question square to every candi
date for our suffrages, and if there
are those who are not willing to give
the people a chance to frame an or
ganic law of their own, free and un
trammelled by the bayonet, don’t
. elect them. Substitute other candi
dates, and let us have once more a
I constitution for the people made by
the people.
