He Refutes Charge, and Declares his De
votion to Organized Democracy.*
Dalton, Ga., October 2B, 1876.
3rr. C. 11. C. Willingnarn, Editor Car
tenville Express, Cartersville Ga.
Sir: I have just been informed that
parties in Cartersville are making
| statements that are calculated to
make the impression that lam not
sincere in my support of Col. Dab
ney's election. This report as I un
derstand it grows out of, and is
| founded upon some friendly allu
sions which Gen. Wofford saw proper
to make in referring to me and the
the canvass of ’74 in his speech in this
j (dace and charges which he made at
the same time accounting for my de
i feat. llis charges amounted to about
this: [I do not attempt to give his
language.] “That I was sacrificed
by parties pretending to be my
friends some of whom were candi
| dates before the Calhoun convention
and others who were prominent in
i contreling it, who, after I was nom
inated, trumped up charges against
me and put them in the hands of Dr.
Felton, 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 my
friends 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 I am capable
of deing a traitor in anything or un
true to the Democratic party under
any circumstances, I ask permission
to give to this foul slander the em
phatic denunciation of an equalised
denial. And I desire to say here,
while I have never opposed the elec
tion of any one more earnestly than
Ihavethatof Dr. Felton. I have
never supported the standard bearer
of the Democracy with more unquali
fied auproval than I have the election
of Col. Dabney. And while these
are the facts, I deem It proper to'add,
that I have not engaged in any per
sonal abuse of Dr. Felton. I did not
do so in the canvass of’74, I do not
do so now. My opposition to him is
because mv conviction of duty is to
support Col. Dabney.
Now, as to the disclosures which
Gen. Wofford is making, that is a
matter which circumstances may
make it proper and necessary to Le
considered by me and my friends at
some future time. That I was the
victim of the roulest treason, I have
not now nor never have had the
shadow of a doubt—that I suffered
much in mortification of feelings,
and reputation is also true.
It is also true that I was satisfied
when I withdrew that these conse
quences would be the natural result
of my withdrawal from the canvass
but 1 did not known nor realize then
there was to be no end to misrep
sentßtions or falsehoods against me
1 did not expect that persecution
would cease. But it is further true
that I did not retire from the canvass
because I thougnt my election hope
less, hut I did so because urged that
my candidacy was causing a chism
in the Democratic party, and that
my withdrawal would unite the
party. 1 laid myself down because I
preferred then as I do now, the unity
and success of the Democracy to a
seat for myself in Congress.
It is further and equally true that
all the persecution and slander, the
injustice and ingratitude which have
been allotted to me to bear, have not
made me a traitor. Nor has it driven
me from my party or my princi
ples.
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, or for the same reasons
prove false to principle, from the be
ginning and unworthy the support of
any one.
Now, sir, notwithstanding all these
persecutionsjinjustice and ingratitude
towards me in the past, and the mis
representations of the present, allow
me to say to the Democratic party.
“Whither thou goest I will go,
whither thou lodgest I will lodge.
Thy people shall be my people. Thy
God my God,‘and where thou diest I
will die and there will 1 be buried.”
Very respectfully,
L. N. Trammell.
JEW AND CATHOLIC.
The Performance of a Novel Rite in St.
Louis.
St. Leu is Republican, Nov. 2.]
Max Gumpert, as who does not
know, is a little military tailor, full
of business, who has an establish
ment on Clark avenue, near t he Four
Courts, and who has the patronage
of a large portion of the police de
partment. Max is of Jewish
blood —and remarkable anomoly—
his wife is a Catholic. There is a
little arrangement existing between
the couple that all the girls in the
family shall be brought up in the
Romish faith, while al v _ the boys
shall be at least initiated into the
Jewish church. Matters at first went
very unfavorable for Max under this
arrangement, for the reason that his
first two childen were girls. He was
beginning to feel discouraged, when,
one morning last week, his loving
helpmeet presented him with a jolly
and healthful little JeVv as realized
his fondest hopes. Max was fairly
wild over the young Gumpert, and
his friends for a time feared he would
do something rash. He gave all his
acquaintances an opportunity to con
gratulate him, and then made prep
arations for an occasion as should be
an occasion. He argued that there
was no telling when he would have
another chance to jubilate, and so
this one must not be lost. Accord
ingly he issued to his many acquain
tances. most of whom are attorneys
at the Four Courts, very neat little
cards of invitation to attend at the
administration of the rite of circum
cision, yesterday being the day fixed
threfoiC At four yesterday
afternoon his little house was filled
with a pleasant party. Rabbi Rosen
blatt officiated in the performance of
the religious rite, and Col. J. R.
Claihome, seated on a pillow on a
table, assisted in the re
lation of godfather with much dig
nity and a little embarrassment.
The ceremony over, the health of the
little fellow was drank in numerous
bottles of excellent champagne, and
a merry time was had while Die UC
tie hero bawled most lustily, evident
ly failing to realize that there was
anything to be merry about. Long

The Augusta Constitutionalist of
last Wednesday reports: Between
nine and ten o’clock last night a
most beautiful and magnificent me
teoric shower was observable on the
face of the moon, A humber of peo
ple were out on the streets and wit
nessed this display. At times a per
fect shower of meteors would shoot
across the moon’s light, all going
from north toward the south. At
intervals of a minute or two another
shower would follow, presenting to
the view a pretty sight, very much
resembling a snow storm. It was
seen for hours afterwards.
The Atlanta Constitution learns
“from a prominent stockholder in
the Central road that a movement
against Mr. Wadley has been started
inside of the Central Camp that will
make itself felt by the next annual
meeting. It is complained that Mr.
Wadley, by his eccentric and illiberal
management, has driven business
away from the road, reduced its
earnings, and run down its stock.
Its stock, which one sold for 117, is
now, we believe, at 40 cents. It is
claimed that much of this decline is
due to Mr. Wadley’s bad manage
ment. One thing is certain, Mr.
Wadley succeeds in making more
enemies to the road than is necessary.
What the result of the movement
will be it is hard to tell. Avery en
ergetic and prominent stockholder
heads it, and feels confident that it
will eventuate in Mr. Wadley’s over
throw.”

ILLUSTRATES GEORGIA NOBLY.
“Gath,” the famous correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer says o'
him:
Governor Colquitt, of Georgia, is
in town— statesman and
lawyer—tall, straight and Indian
like in features, straight black hair
and piercing eyes—a fine type he is
of the farmer statesman.
“Governor,” we asked him, ‘ ‘how
i did you come to get 80,000 majority
in your State?”
“We in Georgia.” he replied “are
(►our and struggling for business life
prosperity. Oar people are sick of
politics and voted without regard to
party for peace and good-will. Our
election was held without any vitu
peraiion or hard feeling, and there
was hardly a quarrel in the whole
State on election day.”
“Does Georgia show any signs of
recuperation ?”
“Yes” replied the Governor. “We
are building a number of factories in
Atlanta, and our people have anew
life and courage, with political tran
quillity and lighter taxation, and we
are getting, too, a class of people
from the North who bring to us
brains and capi al. We expect large
numbers from your over crowded
citieL”
The New York Hon’d has the fol
lowing:
To gel information about to attitude
of the Southern people in relation to
the so-called “rebel claims,” a re
porter of the World yesterday visited
a number of the most prominent
Southern publie men now stopping
in the city.
Governor A. 11. Colqu tt, of Geor
gia,! n answer to inquires, said : “The
Southern people have no desire] that
these claims be paid, and are very
certain to abstain from bringing any
pressure to bear upon a Democratic
administration or Congress to have
them allowed. 1 believe that I am
fairly acquainted with the? entiments
and doings of the leadingjmen of the
South, and I am free to say that
neither on the stump nor in private
gathering where people unbosom
themselves and say, not what they
consider judicious, but what they
really think, has there ever, to my
knowledge,
BEEN THE SLIGHTEST HINT OR
WINK.
given that in the event of Tilden’s
election there would be any gieater
chance for these claims than in the
event of his defeat. I think it is a
fact that no voter in any Southern
Southern State has ever been urged
to cast his ballot for the Democratic
nominees because those were more
favorable than the Republican nomi
nees to reimbursing anybody for
losses sustained during the rebellion.
In fact, the subject has hardly ever
suggested itself to our people. They
do not want to make money out of
Democratic victory : but what they
want to preserve such rights of self
government as are still left them.
The people of the North may rest
assured that their Southern brethren
have too much intelligence, too much
patriotism, too mucli saUVruspbot to
harbor such selfish designs as are
ascribed to them by Republican rob
bers.”
Gen. Lo king’s Fate in Doubt.—
The London Times' account of the
second disastrous Egyptaln expedi
tion into Abyssinia mentions that
Loring Pasha, an American officer
and several others of the satne na

Prince Has an, its commander, but
their individual fate is not recorded
The first expedition, was slaughter
the second went to avenge, was to
tally extermined, from the humblest
soldier to the general-in-chief, the
only exception being tho Count de
Lichy, who was left for dead and
came to, and lived for a fortnight in
the midst of indiscrible suffering,
crawling from place to place, sup
porting himself on herbs and roots,
drinking the water remaining in the
flaiks of his dead companions. He
was subsequently carried off as a pris
oner.
Tne Loring Pasha above 'referred
to is Gen. W. W. Loring, formerly
an officer of the United States army,
and afterwards a major-general Fin
the service of the Confederate States.
At the close of the last civil war
Gen. Loring accepted service in the
army of the Khedive of Egypt, and
enjoyed the reputation of being a
brave and energetic officer.
