FROM THE WEST.
A Georgia Lady at a f air in the ’‘Future
Great” City.
Searcy, Ark., October 22, IsTG.
/v the KtUtor of The Express:
On the 3rd, just as the “rosy dawn
was breaking” we found ourselves
bo-ide tii** Mississippi river, and for
twenty miles before we reached St.
Louis, our destination, we traveled
idl the way on the banks of the
bright stream. Every moment the
seanery grew more entrancing as the
gold; n f-unslowly climbed the Iliin
<>|s monntuiiis, and peeped ovt-r to
awaken the morning in the valley,
until the broad river was ablaze with
the molten trold of morning. A sun
rise on the Mississippi must be some
thing grand at all times, but on this
October morning in was simply glo
rious. Ingoing to St. Louis on the
Cairn, Iron Mountain aud Great
Southern Road, the last twenty miles
follow tlie course of the Mississippi
river, until you are in the heart of
the city. A periilou.s way does It ap
pear sometimes, over trestle work, on
the very brink of the river, through
deep euts whose sides tower up like
mountains above the swiftly moving
trains. Ever and anon on "the river
siiln of tbe road stand portions of the
embankments looking not unlike
huge millstones or a bird’s eye view’
of pyramids. Between these de
tached portions of earth, glimpses
thus obtained of the river and the
opposite shore, make so many exqui
site pictures. Let us see if we can
show you one that we thought verv
finp.
The river rough, but every wave
and drop of water reflecting rainbow
colors; near the right bank; tiny,
bright-colored fishermen's boats, rid
ing at their anchor; just beyond them
and over flocks of wild ducks and
other water-fowls; in nearly mid
river. “The Grand Republic,” anew
and elegant boat, steaming up the
sparkling, opaline waters, looking
for all the world like a floating palace
struggling to keep pace with the fly
ing train. The background to this
picture, the grand autumn-dyed for
est and tall, dark mountains on the
Illinois shore. E T non arriving in the
“Future Great” the bright sunshine,
blue skies and clear atmosphere,
seemed to have been left far behind,
for a smoky sooty cloud shuts down
its cup-like cover tight and low over
till this great city. We presume the
soap manufactories do a thriving bus
iness.
We entered Missouri, specially to
attend its renowned annual State fair,
held in St. Louis, and spent four
days there, revelling in the delights
of the occasion. The city was filled
with visitors beyond precedent, and
wore a gala look. But despite the
crowd of people, we visited the
bridge—the great bridge—and walked
over its entire length—a pretty good
step, that too —from |Missouri to Il
linois. The herculean labor of this
wonderful structure, its stupendous
bulk, its dizzy heights, its immense
cost $13,000,000, or more than four
times the combined wealth of Bar
tow county—ali conspired to make
the sight one of the great events of
my life. The architect, Capt. Eads,
ofthis gigantio hriiigo Iws Kurtßy
giant mind. May his present work
—the jetties at the mouth of the Mis
sissippi river he as perfect a success
as is this bridge, spanning these
oceanic like waters. And indeed we
have many reasons to believe it will
as the newspapers state he has now
st-cured twenty-two feet of water
where 71 was wont to he.
The Lindell and Soutlnrn hotels
are very elegant ones, and enjoy the
reputation of surpassing in splendor
all other hotels in the South. One of
the interesting places in the city is
the establishment of W. Ball, dry
goods merchant. The build.ng oc
cupies an entire city block, is five
stories, and is mod handsomely fin
ished. It has on its pay roll over
three hundred employees. Indeed
it is like visiting si little world, to
stop in ut this vast emporium.
On Thursday, the day of the Fair,
we took a street ear en route for tlie
fair grounds, and after five miles
ride, for which we paid only five
cents, we were at the scene of action
truly. The grounds lovely and in
splendid condition, the clean, bright
velvety grass, beautiful ornamental
trees, musical fountains, white gravel
walks, and exceedingly fine music
which broke upon our ears, as we
passed under the portals of the en
trance gate, prepared us for enjoying
tlu* various exhibitions to which we
were soon to he introduced. The
buildings, which are numerous, are
quite substantial, commodious, con
venient and highly ornamental. The
display in all the varied departments
was very fine. Doubtless all will
cherish memories for quite a while,
of the beautiful cascades and water
falls in miniature, that served as a
background to all the lovely, fragrant
flowers and plants in Floral Hall.
But for the splashing of the falling
waters, and the soft spray that could
be felt by the fortunate ones who
stood near, one would think it all an
illusion, rather than an actual scene
of life, so artistically was it all ar
ranged. There were some very ex
cellent things in Art Gallery, con
spicuous among them,a piece qf sculp
ture, in wold, showing a life-size
scene immediately after the crucifix
ion. The two figures, Christ as he
was tumbled from the cross, with
Mary supporting His head, are cer
tainly the creations of ope who is
filled with divine afflatus, Madame
DeStael has called sculpture ‘’frozen
music,” and we were forcibly struck
with her beautiful simile while look
ing at this scene, for melody seemed
congealed in this wood, and we al
most listened to hear Mary sob forth
in notes of exquisite horror.
In plaster, by St. Louis artfrU
were man v beautiful things, and in'
“Bronzed Plaster,” by Valentine, of
Virginia, were*two companion pic
tures —“Knowledge is Power” and
HTJip Nation’s Ward.” The first
represented a fifteenth Amendment
Judge—a great, thick, iupqor-|!|> ne
gro, enyeloyecl in rags or gqosts of
clothes, one foot encased in an old
gaiter shoe, the other stuck into a
boot-leg. He sat hi a judicial state
chair, in his hands, held loosely, was
the Code of Laws, while his great
head, to borrow t hesimileof another,
looking like* “burnt puud” was all
dropped to one side, hi* gyps HTTP
closed and his mouth wide open.—
The Judge, evidently overpowered
with the knowledge of the code of
laws, had stink Into profound—slum
ber! “TIIO Nation’s }* a
brother of this Judge, and is dressed
in anew suit of Navy uniform, and
is out on a holliday. The two pieces
of statuary are peculated to interest
and amuse aii who spp tfippp In
painting were some rare landscape
and marine scenes by Van Iloordeet
Van Severdonek, Jules DeKeghil
and others.
We were so unfortunate as to reach
the Grand Amphitheatre, \y4|pli has
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2, ISJC.
t seatin*; capacity of BU.OIHI, j-.i-t a- tin
last seat was taken, and even iln* last
standing position doubly ocvupfisl,
thus effectually preventing any
chance for us to ?ee “just one race”
between the numberof noble-looking
thoroughbreds. We therefor** m : -
scended to the walks below, in the
hope of having a nice quiet stroll, hut
we here found as many people as .we
had just left in the Amphitheatre.
Indeed you could not say where the
multitude was for it was every wh r •.
The bright, green plots were
covered with people taking lunch a
fa picnic, and theentire s • no, which
the deep blue covered s > beau
tifully was very like some may-day
fete. Tile attendance that day at
the Fair was estimated to be 123.0. K)
and over $21,000 taken in at the en
trance gates.
Among other "distinguished vis
itors were Lord Dufferin, Governor-
General of Canada, and Lady Dufierin
and his secretary Lord Nettleton.
They are fine specimens of English
nobility.
On Tuesday night we heard at
Olympic Theatre the famous com
edian John E. Oweus in Tom Tay
lor’s fine comedy “The Victims,”
! concluding with the celebrated “pre
sentation scene” from “Joshua But
terby” to his strong-minded “Mi
j nerva.” “And when you wear it
i think of me.” John Owens’ spe- i
: cialty, “Solon Shingle,” was very
I
The crowning glory of fair week in
the city was a three-mile procession
of Democratic torch-hearers on Thurs
day night. The men in their hand
some, showy uniforms walked four !
ahieast* and with spirited martial
music by each club’s band, together
with tiie flags, transparent banners ;
and bright, neat torch-lights pre
sented a very dazzling and exciting
panorama, viewed from our high,
cozy window-sili seat on Washington
Avenue. The enthusiasm displayed
on this occasion was intense.
Early Friday morning we bade the
Mound City adieu aud pretty soon
had again reached the narrow strip
of earth which for the greater part of
the first twenty rriihs separate.-? the
railroad from the river, and which
this morning was decked out in great
spikes of golden rod—purple starry
asters blackberry vines all grown to
scarlet libbons pinned a fa mode on
the rich dying grasses. On the sand
bars which occasionally are seen ex
tending for a mile or more in the
river, was seen a very curious 'sight
by ‘he mixture of the loose white
sand with the strong river winds,
thus producing vapor-like clonus
that float over tlie river.
The continuous mountains of II
linois, lisiug, amphitheatre-like,
bring out in relief the pretty towns
and hamlets which dot that shore of
the river. Up the steep sides of these
mountains houses are perdud, and
with their surroundings recall to one’s
mind, paintings or Rhine scenery.
As we re-entered the primeval, au
tumnal forests, we were reminded of
the beautiful saying of another:
“God made the country and men
made the cities” and surely the beau
ties of the one surpass those of the
other, as greatly as the architect of
the one surpasses the architect of the
other.
We here took our leave of the Mis
sissippi, the grandest of all the rivers
in tn<j world, whitii seem.? to re utLei*
again the notes of Tennyson’S
“Brook:”
“Men may come an Ini mi mi go
Rut i flow oil torever.”

THE CAMPAIGN.
The Farmers vs. the Lawyers are for Dr.
Felton for Congress.
Mr. Willingham : As you say!
you are willing to allow L It or. in -a
word in your paper, I propose to say
what I think in this article, and L
hope you will stick to your promise.
There are nine members of the
Georgia delegation in Congress. Of
these nine, eiyht are lawyers, and one
is a farmer. * I see that all of the
eight are so acceptable that they
have been renominated. No\v ; Dr.
Felton is as good a member as any;
some papers have hinted that he is
somewhat more influential than sev
eral others. He lias done a good
work for his people. He was faith
ful. He stood at his post, all the
time. He had no law cases, nor
electioneering schemes to further by
coming home, lie was just to all.
Now, 1 have studied this matter
carefully. I have examined the rea
sons for the bitter opposition waged
against him. I can see no reason for
the warfare, hut his profession. The
papers cry “Radical, but we give you
all credit for better discernment.
You know better. We know better.
He is so good a Democrat, that Good
win and Sheats are angry without
sense or judgment. Maddened by
flip faithful service rendered to this
country by Dr. Felton, they rush
against their own party and stand
confessed to the world as poor, guilty
offender', whose sins were uncover
ed to a disgusted people.
The country owes a debt of grati
tude to l)r. Felton for this heroic
work. We. thank him for it, and. so
do ail honest rneh , no matter to which
party they belong. It was sad to see
that attack in your paper upon I)r.
Felton and the revenue work of last
week. When the heat of party strife
! is over, you will gladly take it back.
I You, Mr. Editor, will live to regret
your apologies for revenue theives—
and especially your warfare on your
faithful Representative for that noble
service.
Eqt Dr. Felton is a farmer. He’s
living in that way, ahd in no other,
until we elected him to serve us.
Does not eight out of nine satisfy the
legal fraternity? Must gou nave ev
eryone? Remember, gentlemen, we
are not slaves. Taxation without rep
resentation brought on the Revolu
tionary war. >y|U you force another
lawyer upon us, when we told you
two years ago, we desired another
map? We have no objection to trie
law, nor to the members of the fra
ternity, in that capacity and in the
exercise of their profession. We
have paid them handsomely for all
qf their business. God only knows
the money that baa left the pockets
of poor impoverished raiWecs, to
make these lawyers rich. But that
is business, if we choose to pay you ,
well f When you displease us, we can
seek anniner Lra’yPF
f|But this piatter of candidate*, R
! especially the prerogative of a free
people. When we look about us and
find a man who has pleased us, who
pasefone his work promptly and well
who is not charged with a&ingle
mistake, (on the contrary we see his
praise and commendation, forced
from very unwilling lips) then when
j we ask this uiau to serve us again—
an I we teil him we will show our
gratitude H faithful >ervant by en
dorsing him ; i chat do e-e .*ec f
Wo find the lawyers of tills dis
trict, with a few honorable exceptions,
pledged to light Dr. Felton. They
! leave ho-ne in g. ngs—they rampage
i over the whole field—they abuse Dr.
Felton, they charge al! manner of
tilings--/ dgety —browbeat his friends,
; tako advantage of their legal knowl
edge to force unwilling men to stand
by them or else suffer in their private
business. We find the lawyers in
every little town clubbing together,
they are ail cn rupinn't. they instigate
persecution upon Felton men. I tell
yea it has d< ve!op and “star chamber”
proclivities that has opened the eyes
of the innocent sufferers.
Mr. Editor, tin- will not do in a

Mr. C. 11. C. Willingham, Editor Car
terssviUe Express, Cartersville , Go:
•Sir: I have just been informed that
parties in Cartersville are making
statements that are calculated to
make the impression that 1 am not
sincere in my support of Col. Dab
uey’s election. This report as I un
derstand it grows out of, aud is
founded upon some friendiy allu
sions which Gen. Wofford saw proper
to make in referring to me and the
canvass of ’74 iu his speech in this
place and charges which he made at
tiie same time accounting for my de
feat. ilis charges amounted to about
this: fl do not attempt to give his
language.] “That I was sacrificed
l>3 ? parties pretending to be my
friends some of whom were candi
dates before the Calhoun convention
and others who were prominent in
controlling it, who, after I was nomi
nated, trumped up charges against
me, and put them in the hands of Dr.
Felion, which were used to my in
jury and for the purpose of getting
me out of the way of these parties
who were pretending to be mv
fri nds but who were in fact traitors,
seeking my overthrow to make way
for themselves.”
Now, sir, while I do not suppose
there is a man living who knows me
who would believe that l am capable
of being a traitor in anything, or un
true to the Democratic parly under
any circumstances, I ask permission
to t;> **•-> mill Khln.D-i lilt; {ali
phatic denunciation of an unqualltieti
denial. Andi desire to say lu re,
while! have never opposed the elec
tion of any one more earnestly (ban
I have that ot Dr. Felton, i have
supported the standard bearer of
the Democracy with more unqualifi
ed approval than I have the election
of Col. Dabney. And while these are
tin: facts, I deem it proper to add,
that 1 have not engaged in any per
sonal abuse of Dr. Felton. I did not
do so in the canvas- of’74, I do not
dose now, My opposition to hint rs
because my.conviction of duty is to
support Col. i lahney.
Now, as to the disclosures which
Gen. Wofford is making, that is a
matter which circumstances may
make it proper and necessary to be
considered by me and my friends at
some future time. That I was the
victim of the foulest treason, I have
not now and never had the shadow
of a doubt—that I suffered much in
mortification of feelings, and repu
tation is also true.
It is also true that I was satisfied
when 1 withdrew that these conse
quences would be the natural result
of my withdrawal from the canvass
hut 1 did not know nor realize then
that there was to be no end to misrep
resentators and falsehoods against me
I di<l expect that persecution would
cease, But it is further true that I
did not retire from the canvass be
cause I thought my election hopeless,
but I did so because urged that my
candidacy was causing a schism in
the Democratic parly, and that my
withdrawal would unite the party.
I laid myself down because I pre
ferred theh as I do now, the unity
anti sveces* of the Democracy to a
seat on myself in Congress.
It is further and cqu illy true that
all the persecution and slander, the
injustice and ingratitude which have
been allotted to me to bear, have not
made made ame traitor. Nor has it
driven mo from my party or my
principles.
A man who will abandon his party
because* of defeat, or who will not
lay himself down to promote his par
ty, is unworthy, in my opinion, of its
support, false to principle, in my
opinion was wanting in principle
from the beginning and unworthy
the support of any one.
Now, sir, notwithstanding all these
persecutions, injustic find ingratitude
towards me in tne past, and the mis
representations of the present, allow
me to say to the Democratic party,
“Whither thou lodgest I will lodge.
Thy peopl shall he my people. Thy
God, my God, and where thydiest I
will die and there will I be buried.”
Very respectfully,
L. N. Trammel.
Sitting Bull continues to feel a deep

fessed that the campaign is “an un

THE REPUBLICANS.
A Reply from Mr. W. L. Good win to Col.
Jesse A, Glenn.
Cartersville, Oct. 30,1876.
To the Editor of th■ Express :
A card in your last issue, from Mr.
Jesse A. Glenn, regarding a Republi
can convention, demands that I
should make the following state
ment :
Early in September I wrote Glenn
insisting that he should call th e Sev
enth Congressional* committee to
gether, to take some action upon Con
gressional matters. Ileunswcrcd me
that he could not and would not ex
cept at the requejt of the majority
of that committee. On the loth ol
September I was appoin ed one ot
liu-Staie executive committee, Ly
J. E. Bryant, chairman of ttie Stale
central committee. This executive
committee Is composed of nine mem
bers, one from each Congressional
district and J. E. Bryant as chairman.
My instructions were to have the
chairman of ttiis Congressional dis
trict committee, Col. Jesse A. Glenn,
to assemble his committee, and, iu
the event lie did not do so, I was to
appoint anew committee and act as
chairman of same.
I at once called upon Glenn in Dal
ton, produced 1113’ notice of appoint
ment and instructions and again
asked him to call together the old
committee, as i wished to have his
and their co operation. This he again
positively refused to do ull ess so ad
vised I)3’ Col. Akerman or requested
h3 r a’majority of that committee.
Col. Nat. P. Harbin was ;resj't
at this interview, heard me in. ist o 1
the call aud welt knows Glenn re
lused 10 make call, and he, Glenn,
cannot deny this statement.
Glenn has also refused to make the
cail when requested to do so by other
true Republicans who will verify this
on oath if necessary.
The fact is there was a trick in the
pretense that Glenn, as chairman,
could not call this committee together
except at the request of a majority of
tiie same. That committee was com
posed such men as Hargroves,
\\ ikie, Fletcher and other postmas
ters who desired Felton re elected
and wished no Republican nominated
Their idea was to delay the call, it
any.jjntil alter the Governor’s elec
tion, and then they might say to the
party n ow too late and we must
support Felton. That is what they
virtually did do at Kingston on the
14th inst.
Glenn further states that “Bryant”
was not in Atlanta on the 9th" inst.
Glenn knows well that the name of
“Bryant” was a mistake of the
printer. It was Volney Spalding,
chairman of the State Resident Com
mittee, which committee has charge
of all such business, and, the
mistake was corrected at once I)3’cir
culars and I know Glenn received
such notice.
Again, he says the State Executive
Committee did not call upon him to
re-assemble the convention, I say
th(*3,’ did call upon him time and
af/ain through me as their represen
tative for ttiis district, ynd I would
advise him to keep his fifty dollar
proposition out of tne press if he
does not desire an exposure of the
triekery of Felton’s postmaster ring
and their eo-workers.
For fear of becoming tedious to
your readers 1 will wun tuie
r'mark, that if Col. Glenn, Zack
Hargrove, or any of ike ring or their
friends wish more on this subject, I
can give them their heart's content.
Respect full3',
W. L. Goodwin,
Chairman Executive 7lh Congres
sional District Committee.
“The Republican leaders,” Mr.
llewitt sti 1. “seek to divert atten
tion from the extravagance of
tl'.e Administration by interposing
the ‘bloody shirt,’ and a cloud of
cal ninnies against the Democratic
candidates between the public public
gaze, and the monument of infamy
which the Republican party has
reaped, inscribed all over with frauds,
among which the most conspicuous
arc:
The New York Custom House
frauds.
Usurpation in Louisiana.
The Credit Mobilier iniquity.
The Freedman’s Savings Bank
swindle.
The Navy Yard frauds.
The Secret Service swindle.
The Black Friday operations.
The Post Office straw bids.

The Belknap postradership.
The “Boss” Shepherd villainies.
The Safe Robbery conspiracy.

The San Domingo job.

The back-pay steal.

The Bristow and Jewell removals.

The removal of Henderson and

The Next Legislature.—The
Talbotton Stmdard says the grand
est duty of all that will confront the
next Legislature is to pass a bill pav
ing the way for a constitutional con
vention. and then adjourn sine die.
The editor also very kindly marks
out the following line of action for
the Legislature :
The very first tiling they ought to
do after taking their seats is to cut
down their salary to five fjofiars per
day, or lower, if consistent. Next
they should reduce the number of
clerks in the House from eighty to
eight and those in the Senate corres
pondingly. Next, let a strong and
working finance committee he ap
pointed. Next, every member of
that committee and pvpry member
of the st>e how many
dimes he can save the Skate by in
vestigating the financial condition
of the State in ;\1 Its parts. Next, let
every man think of the people’s
pockets before he introduces a local or
public bill, or makes a speech.
The New York Herald vyfints to
know if qny one is green enough to
believe that President Grant’s procla
mation would have been issued if all
the w hite citizens of South Carolina
were republicans and all the colored
citizens democrats? This presents
the matter In a nqUhefi.
For the first time in the history of
the country the department of agrl
cultqreand the southern cotton ex
change.'* agree about the current cot
ton crop. Ten per cent, decrease, or
400,000 hales, are the figures agreed
upon, making the crop 4,2<J0,00Q
