THE EXPRESS.
The Express i- the firm defender and advoa
cato of the rights ami interests of the people of
all classes, and the unrelenting opponent of
all rings, cliques or combinations organized to
defeat the (tofiular w ill in, politics or to injure
any class of citizens materially.
Cartersville, November 16, 1876.
THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
The whole country is in great sus
pense in regard to the Presidential
election. There is no telling what an
hour may bring forth that may pre
cipitate great trouble if not war upon
the country. There is no doubt of
Tildea’s election, but the great sus
pense is caused by the fear that the
Radical returning boards of Florida,
Louisiana and South Carolina may
make such false canvass of the elec
tion returns as to defeat the popular
will, Mr. Tilden now lacks only one
electoral vote of the requisite number
to secure his election. This vote must
come from one of the three States
mentioned, and the canvassing of the
returns of those States is in the hands
of the Republican party, which,
goaded to desperation by the loss of
power and plunder, are ready to
commit any fraud to perpetuate
themselves in power. The follow
ing States are conceded to Tilden by
all parties:
Alabama 10
Arkansas 6
Connecticut 6
Delaware 3
Georgia 11
Indiana 15
Kentucky 12
Maryland 8
Mississippi 8
Missouri 15
New Jersey 9
New York 35
North Carolina 12
Tennessee 18
Texas 8
Virginia 15
West Virginia 9
Total 184
The following is the electoral vote
of the three contested States:
Florida 4
Louisiana 8
South Carolina 7
Total 19
Which, having been carried for
Tilden, gives him 203 electoral votes,
or 19 more than is required to elect
him. If all three of the States are
counted for Hayes it will give him
just one majority. To throw out one
of these States the election of a Presi
dent will go into the House of Repre
sentatives, where there is nodoubtof
bis election, Tilden receiving twenty
States and Hayes sixteen.
We hope to be able by our next
issue to chronicle the election of Til
den by the electoral votes. In the
meantime, let our people bear in
patience any attempt to outrage and
defeat the popular will.
Having postponed the punting of
The Express beyond the usual hour
(Wednesday evening) we are enabled
to give our readers the latest news of
the political situation coming to u>
through the Atlauta papers of to-day.
We learn lhat up to last night in
New York the situation remains un
changed and will continue to remain
so for a week or ten days, and that
after all the election of President may
be thrown in f o Congress. The Re
publicans are striving to make Blaine
president of the Senate to meet the
contingency.
From a Florida special to the At
lanta Constitution , dated Tallahassee,
\ 151 h, we learn that the Demo
crats h ive changed tactics and are
making an aggressive war upon Re
publican majorities, ana hope to
throw out two of the largest. They
will not only sustain their own fig
ures, but will cut down the Republi
can. Ex-Gov. Brown is upon the
ground and says: “We will sustain
the Democratic majorities or we will
make the throwing of them out so
ridiculous that the civilized world
will not stand it.”
A Columbia S. C., dispatch, Nov.
15th says that the returns have been
received from all the counties except
Laurens, Kershaw, Colleton and
Darlington. The returns from Lau
rens county have been in Columbia
since Friday, but have not been de
livered yet to the canvassing board.
A correspondent is informed by a
Republican, whose name is not given
that the majority claimed for Hayes
upon the returns as they stand, is
only I,2ooand for Chamberlain some
thing less. No county is thrown out
in tnis calculation. Chief Justice
Carter is in Columbia. He visited
Gov. Chamberlain. Judge Carter
says in conversation there is not half
so much excitement here as at the
North.
A New Orleans dispatch, same
date, says the Democrats claim that a
count of the votes actually cast will
show Tilden to have carried the State
by about 8,000 majority, and Nicholls
by about 9,000. The Republicans do
not deny that a majority of the votes
actually polled are against them, but
they assert that, under the law, they
will be able to prove that several
parishes were carried by the Demo
crats by intimidation and violence,
and that when the votes from these
parishes are rejected, as they will be
legally, Hayes and Packard will be
found iiave carried the State.
It will be several days, perhaps
weeks, before this matter will be defi
nitely settled. We have great faith
that the popular sentiment of the
country will deter the Radicals from
perpetrating so foul an outrage upon
public liberty as to defraud the De
mocracy of the great victory won in
tbe Presidential election.
As soon as it was announced after
the election that Tilden was elected,
business at once began to look up.
That was the pulsation of public con
liu nee. As soon as it was apparent
th • ' old be trouble in the count of
the* ;< Southern States and that
Tiiden might be fraudulently counted
out, business again became more de
pressed. That .was the pulbation of
despondency. All of which means
hat the couutry cannot stand four
vs wore of Radical rale.
THE SUPREME COURT,*
We were surprised by, and very
much regretted to see, a short time
since, in one of our contemporaries,
a statement that the Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court, the Hon. Hiram
Warner, intended to resign his office
after the end of the present term of
the court. Believing that the state
ment was true, we felt that a great
loss was about to befall the people of
Georgia. Looking back, for the last
eight years, on his arduous labors ;
and justice, law, and the constitution
beholding him on the bench
“As firm as a rock of the ocean
That stems a thousand wild waves on the
shore,”
standing as a break-water between
the passions of a great mass of the
people that seemed, for the time, to
forget that there was such a thing as
justice ; such an instrument as the
constitution, and such an obligation
as an oath, battling for the right,
braving every danger, toiling every
weapon of assault, scorning every re
proach and obloquny and knowing
nothing but the faithful discharge of
duty, the old hero seemed so nobly
grand and great, we turned our
mind’s eye over the state to see if
there was one who could gracefully
wear his mantle. But we found none.
We remembered his dissenting opin
ions in favor of upholding the consti
tution, against its attempted viola
tions by State laws —and how all
those dissenting opinions were up
held and affirmed by the Supreme
Court of the Uuited States, and our
heart became sad at the thought of
his leaving the bench. And, in the
language of one of our subscribers,
we wish he “could retain his health,
strength and mental vigor a hundred
years, and remain Chief Justice all
the time.”
But our anxiety is gone, our fears
relieved, and we take pleasure in
assuring our readers that Judge War
ner has no idea of leaving the bench,
at least during his present term of
office. This we have from the best
authority, and it affords us real
pleasure to be able to state it.
The people of Georgia are under
obligations to Judge Warner that the
present generation will never fully
understand or correctly appreciate.
Posterity alone will properly estimate
the value of Judge Warner’s services
in upholding the constitutional and
legal rights of the people after the
days of reconstruction. What would
have been done had he not been on
the bench, God alone * knows. His
unswerving, immoveable devotion to
principle, truth, justice and right,
and its great value to the present and
future generations, words cannot ad
equately describe.
THE BITTERNESS OF THE CAMPAIGN.
The late Congressional campaign
has been the source of a great deal ot
bitter feeling between neighbors and
friends. It was where there should
have been aught but unity and har
mony among Democrats. It is not
necessary to discuss tne causes that
Ld to such division. It is only nec
essary to deplore Democratic schism
and endeavor to heal up the wounds
produced thereby and strive to bring
the great Democratic party of the
Seventh Congressional districtogeth
er in the bonds of union and frater
nity. We confess that w r e have never
passed through a campaign in which
we felt greater distress on account of
party disagreement. There was not
a moment during tlie whole contest
that we did not feel anxious to unite
the party by any reasonable conces
sion in favor of truth and justice.
It was the great desire of our heart
to see the party moving together as
one man laboring for the triumph of
Democratic principles.
Asa journalist we felt bound to
stand by organization, especially as
we honestly believed that Col. Dab
ney was fairly and squarely nomina
ted without any resort to trickery
or scheming. Had he been fraudu
lently nominated he would not have
received the support of The Express
for a moment. We felt that the or
ganization of the party was its salva
tion. We feel now that without or
ganization it will eventually become
disintegrated. We believe that the
Democracy of this district must
organize even if it requires re-organ
ization. Unless we do organize one
or the other wing can only succeed
by pandering to Radical support, and
this we cannot afford to do with safe
ty to the Democratic party. Contin
ued strife and bitterness‘must even
tuull;- result in evil and disaster to
the Democratic forces of the district
and subject the party to being con
trolled by the Radical element as a
balance of power between the tw 0
wings.
We are, therefore, ready at any
time to second any move looking to
the consolidation of the Democratic
strength of this district. If reorgan
ization is necessary let us have it.
If the overthrow of past leaders is
requisite let them retire and allow
the people to select new leaders,
or rather lead themselves. The par
ty cannot long survive the bitter
ness ot the past two years and re
main solid in its power for good
government. We must have peace;
we must have union: there must
be no division, and no man must
stand in the way of the harmony of
the party. All bitterness*and strife
must be removed.
The election of Dr. Felton is very
Gratifying to his friend?, especially in
view of the handsome majority he
received. In this connection we are
gratified in saying that the defeat of
Col. Dabney was not on personal
grounds. There were other causes
that operated against the organized
Democracy, not now* necessary to
mention, which resulted in his de
feat. No truer man lives in this dis
trict than Col. Dabney. Absolutely
honest, he was incapable of dishon
orable means to secure his own elec
tion. He may feel proud in the fact
that he received a majority of the
Democratic vote of the district. That
is more consoliDg than questionable
success.
THE CONGRESSIONAL VOTE.
- We are indebted to Dr; Felton for
a copy of the official vote of the Con
gressional election in this district, as
he received it yesterday morning
from the hands of the Secretary of
State, Col. N. C. Barnett:
Counties. Dabney. Felton.
Bartow 695 2489
Catoosa 525 270
Chattooga 903. t ; 464
Cherokee 320 1459
Cobb 1501... 1643
Dade 445 55
Floyd 1654 1834
Gordon 798 1122
Haralson 323 278
Murray., 598 .... .... 513
Paulding 657 628
Polk 609 106 i
Walker 916 671
Whitfield 863 787
Totals 10807 13274
Felton’s majority 2,4G7,
The Congressional vote of the dis
trict in 1874, w r as 15.289. It is this year
24,081—8,792 more than 1874,
leaving out the small vote of
Mr. Samuel Sheats. We have
no doubt but what Col, Dabney
received a handsome majority of the
Democratic votes of the district, the
Republicans in mosi of the conn*ies
going nearly solid for Dr. Felton.
In the counties having the largest
negro vote, Bartow, Cobb, Floyd
and Polk—that class of voters were
almost unanimous for Dr. Felton, ac
cording to our information. These
facts at least give us some consolation
in defeat.
A WIFE’S DEVOTION.
There is nothing deeper than a true
woman’s love, nor nothing more in
tense than her devotion. There .are
notable instances of a wife’s devotion
to her husband, among the most con
spicuous in history is that of Madam
Rowland. These occur now and
then as if to demonstrate the great
heart of womanhood when arroused
to action in behalf of the object of its
affection.
Hon, B. H. Hill remarked to a
number of gentlemen in this place a
few weeks ago that the Seventh dis
trict had the advantage over other
districts of Georgia in having two
representatives in Congress. In this
he referred to Dr. Felton and his wife,
paying the latter the highest compli
ment as a superior woman intellec
ually, and as a lady ever upon the
alert for the pnbliegood. Mr. Hill did
not know, perhaps, that it has been
to her untiring devotion to her hus
band that has given to Dr. Felton so
much of his political success.
Two years ago Mrs. Dr. Felton was
not so well known as now throuhout
the district; but in the late campaign
she made the power of a wife’s de
votion felt in every county, not by
speeches or upon the hustings, hut
by all the means that a true wife
may employ to promote the interests
ot her hu ‘band. No man has greater
reason to be proud of his wife than
Dr. Felton, for no woman ever exhi
bited a deeper devotion to the politi
cal xortunes ot a nusoana.
We happen to know that no man
stand* higher in the estimation of
Samuel J. Tilden, President elect,
than Gen. Pierce M. B. Young, who
so bravely and so gallantly illustrated
Georgia upon the battle-field and in
the halls of Congress since the war.
He is a citizen of whom Bartow may
feel proud. He is now in Florida at
the instance of Mr. Tilden, to see
that a fair count of the election re
turns is made,
/
The Atlanta Constitution, under its
new management, is vastly improved
in its general get up and the quality
of its matter. The public is greatly
indebted to that paper for the enter
prise exhibited, at great expense, in
securing, from day to day, all the
news in regard to the Presidential
muddle. The Constiiution has launch
ed out on anew era of usefulness and
popularity.
Georgia gives 80,000 majority for
Tilden and reform. We do not agree
with the idea that Southern States
should not give big Democratic ma
jorities. If Florida, Louisiana and
South Carolina had given large ma
jorities there would now be no trouble
or suspense as to the election of Til
den. Give us big Democratic ma
jorities always.
The At lan ta Sunday Herald says:
•‘Mrs. Felton and her husband are returned
to Congress from the seventh district. Ii there
is anything in the fact to reconcile 11s with the
situation, it is our regard for the good lady and
a perfect willingness to see her gratified.”
Ihat is precisely what resigns us
to our fate. We have come to the
conclusion that no such a devoted
wife ought to be disappointed in her
aspirations.
Mr. Hinton P. Wright, of Atlanta,
informs us that he will be a candi
date for clerk of the House. He has
heretofore been reading clerk and
tilled his position with splendid
ability. He is, perhaps, one of the
west readers in the State, and his
popularity as such will bring him a
strong support in his race for princi
pal clerk.
We have neither touched, handled,
waved or walked under the Federal
flag since the war. When Tilden’s
election is placed beyond all doubt,
we shall then take a march beneath
the flags that wave across our streets,
and we hope they will not be taken
down until the tact is ascertained.
Gen. P. M, B. Young, nowin Live
Oak, Florida, telegraphed to friends
here yesterday morning that Florida
is Democratic. General Young, we
are informed, is in the Land of Flow
ers at the request of Mr. Tilden.
Mr. M. A. Hardin, of this county,
is a candidate for clerk of the House,
Georgia Legislature. He is a gentle
man of experience, and an efficient
man in any position he may assume
or be called to.
Dr. Felton’s majority has astonish
ed the natives of this district. It is
so big we haven’t heard of Mr. Sam
Sbeats siucy tbe day of election.
South Carolina’s redemplion from
Radical rule is hailed with acclama
tions of joy in all parts of the coun
try from the hearts of all true men
who love the cause of justice and
right.
Haralson has been heard from and
she gave Col. Dabney forty-five ma
jority. We had hoped that Haral
son’s vote would settle the Presiden
tial muddle, but it hasn’t.
With the hope of receiving some
encouraging news from the Presiden
tial muddle, we delay the publica
tion of The Express until this after
noon.
Dr. Felton will leave lor Washing
ton in about two weeks.

THE EXPItUSS,
1 TTNDER the present mat fftn.it, , task
ft-* growing into popularity as ts rapidJ,
increasing circulation lnlly attests; and if
present ratio of increase continues, it will scon
have the largest circulation of •try weekly
paper in the State. Coming i . Cartersville
under somewhat adverse circumstances,* with
false impressions made in advance of his
coming, to his detriment, and finding the pa
per nearly “run down,” the present proprietor
feels himself under many grateful ohligatioi ■
to numerous friends for the aid they have
given him in reviving thi- once popular pa
per. These have given to its circulation an
impetus which it is hoped will make it a power
iu this section of Georgia lor good--for the
building up of our material interests
and for the promotion of the cause of true and
undefiled Democracy.
Tlie Express
Will ever be found the ti re an ltnfiincliin
friend ot the People, the opponent of all
cliques, rings or coinbinations, if there he any
such organizations to deceive, mislead or to
thwart the popular will, in all political mat
ters. It will be the aim of the editor to re
flect popular sentiment upon all public ques
tions, when that sentiment i- true to free gov
ernment and public liberty.
The Express,
however, will oppose all attempts to pervert
the true principles of the Democratic party
and seek to inculcate at all times and under
all circumstances, the great and cardinal
piinciples which underlie and form the basis
of all free government. Opposed to all inno
vations upon the principles of the Democ
racy,
The Express
Will he found “now and forever,” a Demo
cratic journal of “the straightest sect” without
a shadow of turning either to the right or left
—believing as we do, that the happiness of the
people, and the prosperity of this country de
pend upon a restoration 01 the old landmarks
| <>f our lathers—a return to first principles,
j alone can retain to us free government,and an
honest administration of the political affairs ol
j the country.
Thu Express
will never omit any occasion to set forth ihe
great advantages of Cherokee Georgia, its
aim will le to advance by all means in its
power, the material prosperity of fhi section
of Georgia, uisrcrias it b, a climate, the
finest in the worM, with a soil unsurpassed,
and with agricultural and mineral resources
uncreated--inhabited by an honest add thrifty
people, ietelligont and worthy ol alt prosperi
ty. To develop these sources of wealth, ..nd to
make Cherokee Georgia the J garden s , f ,t of
the country will be among the chief ef.orts <>L
this journal.
The Express,
therefore, appeals to an honest a t),] j

Place it in our power, to present a pa
