TKAT BET.
Dr. Baker Replies to “a Dabney Man.
To the E<l it or of The Express:
In the issue of your paper before
Ihe !a:-t, some person over the signa
ture of “Dabney Man” stated that I
Propes >1 to bet SoUO on the race be
tween Dabney and Felton. I made
no such proposition. The Rome
Courier stated that itknewa man who
bad the money who would bet SSOO
that Dabney’s majority would i)o
1,000 votes. And 1 through your pa
per, proposed to take the bet, only
placing myself in an attitude of ac
cepting that bet. The proposition to
me in your paper is one entirely dif
ferent. Anew proposition, and was
(*< rtainly intended to be received only
in a spirit of bombastic bragadocioism.
It is a proposition that is entirely im
practicable, and the maker has my
sympathy for his general imbecility.
He proposes to bet that Dabney will
2.000 more white votes than Felton.
There is no possible way in which
that resulfeeould be ascertained. Who
could lell the vote of a white man
from that of a colored one. Does he
expect iuc to g<> into piiuh county com
posing the district and have the talis
sheets of each militia district pre
served and then look up the name of
each voter and see if he be black or
white, or does he propose to have
different paper and different mana
gers for the blacks and whites and
keep the number of votes separate.
His proposition is one too devoid of
sense to receive the notice of any sen
sible man, and shows plainly that he
is begging the question and’is afraid
to bet on his man, or that he is one
tiiat I could not afford to bet with
without seeing his guardian. He
certainly never had enough sense to
make the SSOO, and if he has it he at
tained it from theestate of some dead
ancestor of whom he is a physiolog
ical off shoot.
He says iet us leave the negroes
out. The constitutional amendments
confer on them the right of elective
franchise, and we Felton men are in
harmony with the great National
Democratic platform and have no
power to deprive them of that right
of ballot. Dabney and his friends
need and want the negro vote as bad
as Dr. Felton and his friends. They
will take all of that vote they can get.
If Dabney gets any of the Republi
can vote it does not make a Repub
lican of him, but if Felton receives
the vote of any of the Republican
party, then lie is in alliance with that
party and a republican. This is the
to logic of the Dabney party. Two
years ago the Daoney party attempted
control the Republican vote of this
district it not positively, passively by
trying to procure the services of a
Republican candidate. I know Dab
ney men in Cartersviile who hired a
leading negro to attempt to carry the
negro vote solid for Harbin the inde
pendent Republican candidate. And
who paid to have Harbin tickets
struck and placed them in the hands
of paid negroes to distribute on the
* i oli ofion, Not VV thotiuHiiu^
lib I bin at ‘that time had* withdrwwn
trom the race. At that time tiie sup
pollers of Dabney made an attempt
to neutralize or have thrown away
the negro vote of Bartow county by
duping and deceiving the unsophis
ticated or less suspicious class of col
ored voters, through the agency of
those paid by them, and in this way
gave tneir passive support to a Re
publican. fn this and divers other
ways they attempt to take votes from
Felton and thereby secure his defeat
by stifling public opinion and popu
lar vyill. These are the tricks of the
conniving, so-called organized Bour
bon Democracy of the Seventh Con
gressional District. Who are these
true, loyal Democrats who consider
everv supporter of Felton an aider
and abettor of Republicanism.
I notice in the strongest supporters
of Dahney those who, when Bullock
and Ids minions had control of our
State, supported the Republican
ticket, and who were loyal to Bullock
and his peculations. There are oth
ers who are sub-federal office-holders
who vehemently support Dabney,
and who oppose Felton because he
publicly in the United States Con
gross exposed and condeaineu their
inefficiency and the corrupt black
mailing meehinatiops of their offi
ces, because he had the manhood to
do his duty in denouncing their aid
in taking the life of an American cit
izen without due process of law.—
There are others among us, who are
warm supporters of Dabney not be
cause they love Dabney more, but be
cause of some petty personal feeling
with Felton, and who are trying to
drag their feelings of prejudice into
the politics of the country. There
are others who support Dabney, be
cause they look forward with a fixed
and eagie eye upon some political
preferment in future, and who know
that it is much easier to obtain office
under closely drawn partisan reins
“;-;n from merit. Are there not oth
ers w ho support pphnby they
feel under some obligations to SO mb
attorney for some business he has or
is transacting for them for his fee
with a lien on what passes through
j his hands paramount to all others.
Are there not others who are lorced
to support Dabney not out of prefer
ence but because they are in the pow
er of some supporter of Dat ney w m
lias the det-d to their homes aiiu their
means of support, and wlm intorms
them if they do not support Dabney
they will turn thein ami ttiejr fami
lies out homeless and without means
of subsistence. I know ot such cases.
What petty tyrranies, what straights
such demon politicians are driven to
it) -t fie the popular will and to sub
born thn baboi,
Is tbis freedom of tiie ballot-box V
Is ii freedom in the expression of the
1 popular wifi, or is it an expression
under duress. Is this a government
of the people, a truly Democratic one
or is it HU aUemptpd government of
| aristocracy, eomposea ofa smaii gnn
gionia of politicians in each county
I who presume to think the dear people
have not intelligence to govern them-
I selves. Ii this js organized Democ
racy let us away witii it, and I like
many of the huuibie voters who have
no interest in the politics of the coun
try except to be governed by gcod,
j wise and patriotic men and have good
I government cannot vote but must
] wait for u deyv party which is now in
| embryo, and has for its existence the
maxim of the Roman statesman: “/;i
medio tutisimus ibis.” The contest
in the Seventh Congressional District
is not one of principle, it Is a contest
between Dabney and Felton. They
are both Democrats. It is a struggle
between the people and their candi
date and a few men in each county
and their candidate. The ode strug

CARTERSYILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 19,1876.
struggling to suppress and divert pop
ular preference and control the ballot
Isix for their own aggrandizement.
Two years ago the people were tri* and
to be lashed into line by the howl for
organization, and by the false accu
sation that Felton was a Radical. But
this howl, created by the ottice-seek
er failed to defeat Felton. And in
this year when the Pre.-idential and
Gubernatorial elections come off we
find politicians and office-hunters to
the front trying to take advantage of
the time to defeat the will of the peo
ple by a howl for the of
organization, and a personal and
slanderous tirade of abuse ot Felton.
Accepting and endorsing all his offi
eial and public acts yet he is not the
nibii. Their love for organization
w ill not permit them to accept Felton
You told us he was a Radical and
that he in Congress would act with
that party. What has been his*pub
iic and official acts ? Are they not
tiie phenomena of a true, noble hon
est and patriotic Democratic heart.
Then pour prognosis was incorrect.
Why repeat the same howl and ask
us to follow’ your leadership. When
your political prognostication has
been so utterly false. Mr. Editor,
you say if Felton had have been, nom
inated at Dalton you would'have
supported him. When you say that
you forget the fact that you stood
committed to Dabney for the past
two years. You know for Felton to
be nominated at Dalton by a Dabney
convention was an impossibili'y. *A
convention only called to endorse
what it had done two years before at
Rome. One called, made and man
aged by a few men in each county
to discharge a SDecific duty. You
know the manipulators of conven
tions are Felton’s bitter opponents.
You know now conventions have to
be worked up, and that while Dab
ney and his friends were working
up delegations, that Feiton was at
his post of duty in Congress, and
how important it was at that time
that all trie Demacratic seats should
be filled in the House. We were on
the eve of placing before the country
a Presidential ticket, ail praying for
the success of that party and that our
success depended in a great degree
upon the acts of a Democratic Houst,
and at that time there was before the
house many important measures
looking to reform, and with so many
Democratic members absent, it gave
the Republicans a negative control of
the legislation of the country, and
how eager they were to direct it to
party ends and purpyses. The Re
publicans at their will could by no
quoting prevent any measure from
passing for the want of a quorum.
They could at any time prevent a
suspension of the rules which re
quires a two-thirds vote for the pass
age of any bill or measure let the
country need it ever so much. At
the time when Felton would have
had to have been at home working
for delegations from each county in
order to secure the nomination.
Speaker Kerr was in articuto mortis
and it was hourly ex
pected he would die. And that
Anew speaker would have to he
elected and with so many Democrats
absent he might have been a republi
can who might have reorganized the
committees of the house in such a
way as to have given the republicans
decidedly the advan’age in shaping
legislation.
But Felton all this time a uu
patriot remained at liis post of duty,
meeting and counciling with tlie
democratic caucuses which met for
the purpose of consulting preparatory
to advising the St. Louis convention
as to its action in placing before the
country the strongest men for the
presidency. Feeling conscious that
i. his course was such as to meet the
tpproval of an appreciative people.
They would again summon him to
their service. And before leaving
Congress he was heavily petitioned
by the people to again go before them
and bear triumphatly again their
sceptre. Dr. Felton with an approv
ing conscience of having done his
duty, did not of course feel like he
should be repudiated, nor would his
friends permit him to be, but deter
mined to again place him before the
people for re election. His official
record ocing unobjectionable, even
to his political enemies. They are
now forced to raise the tocsin of war
against him only as an anti organiza
tion candidate. And subject him to
the throes of personal abuse.
If the friends of Dabney who are
such pretended lovers of organization
and whose only cry is organization
and a coalition with Maj. Hargrove
had have cared as much for organi
zation and patriotic devotion to the
Democratic party, why were they so
determined all the while to have
Dabney make the race, why did they
go to Dalton and nominate nim when
the people had .already placed Dr.
Felton, by petition in the field. If
they can say anything against Fel
tsn’s ability and official record, that
is matter for canvass let them do it.
And 'et them cease the bogus howl
of organization and their personal
onslaughts, The resorts too often
taken by then of contracted cerebrial
calibers, and a confession of a want
of reason or argument, show some
want of ability, show’ some w’ant of
faithfulness and some dereliction of
duty and then we will all join you
in assisting to defeat Felton. But
until you do tins he unc( hia friends
have a right to ask an intelligent
and an appreciative people to return
him to the 45;h Congress. And unless
you can do this your lioul for organi
aud an alliance ‘VUh Hargrove which

feat of Felton must fall slid borne on

Among the other beautiful and
eloquent things said by Bob Inger
soll in a Philadelphia speech recently
was the lo! lowing:
In 1861 the great Presbyterian
church met in general synod and
oppned the chepang with prayer, and
when they opened it with this oyster
knife of prayer, they passed two res
olutions. The first read—
Resolved, That slavery is a divine
institution.
The second—
Resolved, That God raised up the
Presbyterian church South to protect
and perpetuate that institution.
He never chose a more infamous
instrument to carry out a more dia
bolical object.
A Presbyterian writes to a paper
at Peoria, the home of the infamous
and blasphemous Ingersotl, to defend
the church against the charge that
it had declared slavery a divine insti
tution, There is not one word of re
buke for the fqul-mouthed infidel
who could insult every member of a
Christian church by his slang refer
ence to Presbyterian general synod.—

THE RESPONSE OF THE DEMOCRACY.
The following reply to the procla
mation has been issued by the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee:
Columbia, S. C., Oct. 7, 1876.
To the citizens of the United States:
In a period of profound peace, with
the laws unresisted and the processes
of the courts unopposed, the govern
or of South Carolina has, by procla
mation, declared that in the counties
of Aiken and BarnweJl it has become
impracticable to enforce, by ordinary
course of judicial proceedings, the
laws of the State, and that it has be
come necessary for him to employ
the military force of the State to en
force the mithfm execution of the
laws. 14e has also alleged that cer
tain organizations and combinations
exist, contrary to law, in all the
counties of the State, which are en
gaged in promoting illegal objects
and in committing open acts of law
lessness, and he has threatened to de
clare martial and to suspend the writ
of habeas corpus. The charges pre
ferred by Governor Chainherlain
against the citizens of the Slate are
false and iibellious as the threatened
usurpation of power is tyrrannical
and unwarranted ; and his extraor
dinary proclamation can tie explain
ed only upon the assumption that
uroveniur vnarnoeriatn, witn a sitpi
lar disregaad of law and of fact, is
determined to resort to the most ex
treme measures to prevent the other
wise certain defeat of himself and
his corrupt party.
There have been disturbances in
Aiken county, non-poutical in their
character. They have long since
ceased. All the parties for whom
warrants were issued promptly sur
rendered themselves to the law.
Perfect peace and the profoundest
quiet prevail. No armed combina
tions hinder the processes of the
courts, and the republican county
conv* ntion last week held a continu
ous stasion of two days without mo
lestation. The disturbances in Birn
vvell were republican In their origin,
beginning in the resistance by an
armed hand of negroes of the arrest
of a robber for whorp a warrant bar]
been duly issued. This band to.e up
a railroad, wrecked a train, fired
upon and wounded the sheriff of the
county, and were dispersed by aso
! called armed band of whites, who
| had been duly summoned by the
sheriff as a posse, W’lth the sanction
of the court then in session. This
posse, after performing their duties,
quietly dispersed, So far from op
posing the law, the white people de
sire the prompt dispatch of business
in the courts and the enforcement of
the law by thecivil arm. The white
people throughout the state have vol
unteered their services to the gov
ernor to iqaintain the law, and he
has refused them in a libellous corn
amuigatiuo tended solely to fur
| nish a pretext for the introduction ot
! federal troops, to be placed under the
control of irresponsible ami unscru
pulous officials, to overawe the peo
ple, and control the election. The
democratic nominees in seventeen ot
the thirty-two counties in the state
have held meetings attended by
thousands of citizens of both race
and parlies. The republicans hav
held meetings when and where they
f leased, and not a single account of
violence has yet occurred. On the
18th ult., the democratic executive
committee invited the republican
canvassers to a joint discu-sion at
their meetings. This invitation wa~
renewed on the 28th ultimo, and ac
cepted by the republican executive
committee on the ot ii instant upon
the usual terms. The proclamation
of the governor is utterly at variant*
with the action of the executive
committee of his own party. The
latter acquiesces in free discussion ;
the former in effect suppresses debate,
and substitutes armed force for fret
speech. \Ye assert earnestly, with a
full sense of our responsibility, that
no condition of things exists in the
state which justifies so extraordinary
a proceeding ou the part of Governor
Chamberlain, Its sole object is to
provoke collisions which may he the
excuse for an appeal to the adminis
tration of the United States to garri
son the state. We shall counsel our
people to preserve the peace, obey
the laws and calmly await the day
of their deliverance from this wan
ton despotism.
To the people of the United States
we submit our wrongs, confidently
relying on their wisdom and justice
to rebuke this daring attempt to reg
ulate the ballot by the bayonet and
crush the liberties of a people.

RATHER HARD.
The Chicago Journal tells the fol
lowing on a well known Toledo con
ductor who runs between here and
Chicago :
lie was a tramp, bound Chicago
word, and as he boarded the couplers
at the rear of au incoming engine
just across the Indiana, one recently
dark and chilly night, he faith to
belive that he had a “soft tiling” of
it for a cheap ride. But the conductor
with his eagle eye and railroad lan
teu, soon espied the monyless pas
senger on his uncushioued and com
fortless seat. Did he order him off ?
Ne, he had a deeper plot. He let
him remain, while on went on from
station to station, until it reached a
water tank,where the engines stop to
water up.
“Now for him,” grinned the heart
less conductor, as he passed to the
front.
“Now for him,” hemalieious con
tinued, as he grasped the water
trough from the fireman’s hands and
directed it over the back end of tiie
engine.
“Now for him,” he fiendishly
grunted, as he heard a Noah’s del
uge pouring over tne head and down
the back of the luckless tramp.
All grew stiil and the conductor
ortietvd his train ou its way, con
vinced that JIG hud Ji'iiiifipil till-*
the tramp, or ot least flooded him so
fat away that he could never gel back
again.
But when that conductor drove in
to the depot in tne early morning,
there was a surprise iu store lor
him.
“Be you the conductor?” inquired
a shivering voice at liis elbow, as he
stopped on the platform.
“Yes,” said he, lookmgaround and
gazziug upon a bedragged and cin
der coxered man. “Then I want to
ask yer why yer don’t run around
the lake in coinin’ inter town ?”
“1 do?” said tlie conductor.
“Yer do?” exclaimed the man.
“Certainly,” was the reply.
“Wol, I gosh !’” muttered the
stranger, in a beliwered tone, “bless
ed if 1 didn’t think yer swum
through the lake!”
Then the conductor knew that this
was water proof.— Toledo

MIXTURE OF RACES IN EUROPEAN
TURKEY.
Our recent reference to the strong
anti-lavonian feeling of the Albanese
race in Turkey has been quickly con
firmed. Sixteen thousand well-armed
Albanese have joined the Turkish
army at Orkup, west of Nisch. It
may not be amiss to observe that
even Servia, small as It is—with but
little more than 1,000,000 inhabitants
—is by no means honiogeniaus in
the raee or speech. Its eastern dis
ticts are inhabited by VVallchs, or
Roumans, who just now give great
trouble in Leshjanin’s army, In the
southeast of Servia, a section of bul
glars dwell within the frontier, and
they, after all, are also a different
race from the Servo Slays. In Bos
nia, as we have before stated, the
Christian Slays and the Mohamme
dans nearly ballance each other.
Turning [o the remnant of European
Turkey, we find the Albanese, or
Arnauuts, along the Adriatic and
lonian sea, from the frontier of Mon
tenegro down to the boundary of
Greece. The-territory between the
Albanese districts and the Moldo-
Wallachian frontier, where the
Romans dwell, is maiqly inhabited
Bulgars, hut with odd sprinklings of
Arnaunts, Turks‘and various other
races. In the eastern part of Europe
in Turkey, from Phillipopolis to
Kirklissi, and qn to the frontier cf
Ruumaula, the Turks and the Bul
gars are represented in about an
equal number, in hopeless intermix
ture. At the very edge of the pro
jecting tongue of land which stretches
out toward Constantinople there Is
an intermixture of Turks and Greeks,
In the provinces near the iEgean
Sea, Greeks alternate with Turasand
Bulgars. In the districts near the
Greek border the Turkish, Hellene,
Wallaehian and Albanese races from
a jumble which it is impossible to
entangle. This is only a description
made in the gross, without entering
into the variegated details of the con
fusion of races often found in many
a single town or village. Enoung
has, however/ been said to show
what difficulties attend all attempts
of “solving the Eastern question.”
A Danbury man, noted for his
close-fisted propensities, was showing
an old coin to a neighbor, when the
latter asked:
“Where did you get it?”
“I dug it out of my garden,” was
the reply.
•‘lt is a pity you didn’t find it in
the cemetery,” said the neighbor.
“Why so f” asked the coin owner.
“Because you have saved the
hole to be buried in,” vras the some
what unexpected reply.
