BARTOW COUNTY,

j formation, was tunmned
I Gilmer, Flovd, Cobb and Cherokee,
and organized into a county in 1832.
J It was alter Lewis Cass, of
Exeter, N. H. Cass left New Hamp
shire in 179!),and moved to Ohio. He
a ijaUant soldier of 1812 ; was a
Hdnkxi3- AUtti'.K Mix fa.
i He was exchanged, and m I*l3 was
! made a Brigadier General, suit! ap
i pointed Governor of Michigan. lie
1 was seven times'nominated, receiv
ing the unanimous vote; he made
eighteen treaties with the Red Men
wiijjiu . muiiwtis gi
acrß of their lands. "He was in tne
War Department under Jackson. In
1836 he was Minister to France ; in
181') Ltii'.xm
the oOcn arm'flSiu numbers of the old
American Review there are two arti
cles from itis pen on the Indian races
in them he showd-himself master ol
hissnbject. .In 1849 Taylor defeated
him for President. His after course
towards our section—let it rest with
him in the shades of the dead
past-. ) if A l w vj off!3>C!
Some years ago the name was
changed lo Bartow, after Georgia’s
noble son—a soldier hero, who died
with his face to the foe —dying in de
fense of tne constitutional rights and
.the right pi' SBttvt*s to goverij them
selves. God bhss'his memory: lie
was dear to Georgia’s heart; his
deeds live ; in death he is honored,
None above him!
LANDS.
There is large quantities of rich
land in the county, lying mostly on
the streams. ’ - f * *
THE SOIL.
Red chocolate and chocolate, with
diflerent grades down to worthless
rocky'hills, barren as to fanning pur
poses, yet rich in minerals*
PRODUCTS.
•s
wheat, barley elavpr,
grasses, corn, cotton, truch and fruit
—indeed all seem to do well on this
soil whore fertile. Ail the cereals
grow luxuriantly, and tobaccogrows
to perfection. It is by many thought
to be the most .-.-fertile*'county in Geor
gia.
THE AVa’TER POWER
is fine but not much utilized at this
time.
FISH AND GAME.
“All the rivers, creeks and smaller
streams in this section of the Btate
abound with llsh, and the different
varieties of game furnish great sport
during their am>ons to the r lovers of j
pleasure and sportsmen. The trout,
black perch, brim, red horse, sucker,
buffalo, cat fLh find soft shelled tur
tles are caught at all seasons of the
year. Recently the government has
stocked the rivers at Home, Georgia
with thousands of young shad, and
in,a few years it is believed that, our
streams will he filled .with this spe
cies of ihe finny tribe. With turkey,
deer, opossum, foxes, coons, squir
rels, partridges and rabbits always
furnish sport and furnish the tables
with meat.”
WII EAT* AN D HritEU *SMALL GRAIN.
The farmers of this section arq j
busy putting in their small grain. |
They nre Ar.ing a rargtf crop of
wheat." 7be dry vyoothor this .f‘!l
has retailed thfem’ sftieb ? yet * Noth
ing daunted, they are dntcrniined to
have “biscuit” another year. They
have "left the harm to themselves and
families by tlie fatal illusion to trust
it all to cotton, kick or chance. They
know the error of such a dependence, j
They wi^igmgagain Uupi their fatfej
to cotton —they \vfli fiTvy* provisions j
another year, for they trust not to;
tlie fluctuating price of the
and are sowing dqu’P Ipiipy acres
heretofore devoted to cotion. \yith
fairs^isobjbthe wheat crop .will be
equal to tlie demand iu this section.
Farmers truly wise raise all their
.provisions.at home; this.isaquality
of genuine wisdom ; it is opposed to
hazard. Successful farmers are suc
cessful because they raise everything
to eat at home making certain ns fui
as the farmer can, the results of all
he undertakes. It would be well if
others of the ”*ong of toil” in the
South and Middle Georgia would
follow the example of the Cherokee'
farmer, sowing more grain, planting
more corn, more truck, and much less
cotton, and thereby >aU> [ho mortag-
Bges off of their homes and Utiiepiips.

THEIR riIYSICAL.
We cannot mention the population
of these people when the while man
first set foot on this shore, “although
his success in thinning the numbers
of the Aborgines soon rendered the
task quite easy. The Indian peo
ple were so divided into hostile tribes
—feaeh tribe Was so cautious in stat
ing i.ts actual number, and their
habits weresg migatary that an ac
t-urate calculation of their numbers
can never be made. Yet many have
pretended to accomplish this —but
their accounts, so contradictory, do
not deserve notice. We have the
population however, of some of the
tribes pretty accurately slated. Thus
we are told, according to Jefferson
the whole number of the Powhattan
warriors aliuiimted to two thousand
four hundred, This, an able writer
on Indian affairs supposes would give
an entire population of eight thous
and souls. Taking into view tlie ec-.
knowledged power of this tribe and
gieat uneasiness it always gave
Tlutaarly tfftf —*” we may safely
conclude that tjie Indians were never
very numerous. Then the greater
glory of them for so long withstand
ing the myriads which Europe pour
ed, like wild, remorseless waves upon
their shore. These myriads, too,
armed with all Urn powerful ma
chinery which the science of three
hundred years had bestowed, and the
invaded only supplied with the
wooden bow —simple club and stone
hatchet. Indeed the length of In
dian wars is absolutely astonishing.
Nothing but the most indomitable
bravery, burning patriotism and mii
,iuuy skill could have suataim#! them
in trials so varied, disastrous nml
continued.

. THE BIGGEST FRAUD YET.
Go\\ StesruC Contemplated Usurpation
in Florida.
Sjiecial Dispatch to the N. Y. Sun.]
Talt.aiiasse, Fla., Nov. 20.—The
Governor of Florida contemplates a
flagrant usurpation in order to con
summate at one stroke of the mon
strous fraud without which the vote
of this State must be pronounced as
It-was cast,- for the Tilden electors.
Von believed, you have told your
readers to believe, and rightly be
lieved,That under fhe laws of Flori
da ihf returns for Presidential elee
terr* are for the exclusive considera
tion >f the State Buttitl of Canvassers,
i'iie,cowoti;y n is been jiatieiit of their
U lay, ... it ha- and -inamh and and ex
pected justice. Men of both parties
reave flfvcked hither in numbers to
witness a fair count of that Board.
Fvry mcmlK'r of Use Board has, in
vuvtteu rgpl es to our urgency for an
immediate Treginuing of the canvass,
'avowed hue obligation and duty to
can vast* the returns, leaving open
only the qims-ion of time. Qpveru
or .Sivarns himself, three; days ago.
i l an imerview with Leverett Salton
> all, of .Massachusetts, I). W Sellers,
Jno. It. Read, Sam'lGustine Thomp
son .and J. W. Mudie, Pennsylvania,
a* ti the undersigned, acknowledged
it to be the duly of the Board in due
time to canvass the returns, without
questioning which was needed to
support it. From such assurances,
clear proof has throughout- mis State
been taken, demonstrati ig the incon
t.-stiole defeat of the corrupt and car
pet-bagging dynasty wliich has beg
gared thapeopieof Florida; demon
strating that off Hal recorded county
returns show the election of Tilden
electors ; demonstrating that a purg
ing of the returns would quadruple
the Democratic majority. Isn’t it
possible for fair-minded men to con
ceive tlie desperation of the political
gam biers who are now here putting
at stake a nation’s honor. To candid
men of boll) parties this statement of
facts is submitted. Within the last
twenty-four hoars it lias become ap
parent that the Republican advisers
controlling here that
the-Board of .State canvassers will be
wholly iguoied, and that Governor
Stearns, a candidate for re-election,
will certify of his own absolute
power—a result false, in fact—so that
Republican electors may he foisted
upon this lit ate, thereby giving Hayes
and Wheeler a prima iacie titie,
which it is contended the two Hous
es of Congress can’t go behind or
agree to question. In order to give
this contemp'ated exercise of unau
thorized power a semblance of fail
r.ess, the Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee was, on Sun
day, served with a request signed by
Governor Stearns, which is now be
fore me, for a written suggestion on
tTtfe question whether the Governor
should not ascertain the result of the
vote for Presidential electors, as no
statute or adjudication since the war
had been shown to confer any such
power, This request is merely the
thin cover devised to mask an infa
mous scheme that is hejje in Florida
now contriving to defraud her peo
ple of their choice for Governor and
the people of tlie United States of
their choice for President. Further
to corroborate this evidence of
schemes now on foot, it should be
known throughout the country, as it
is well known here, that the Gov
ernor lias declined to confer with his
Attorney General, who has main
tained not merely that the power is
in the Board to canvass, not in the
Governor, but that it is the duty of
the Board to enter upon their duty
at once, the time being already too
narrow. It should be known, too
that Governor Stearns is consulting!
daily with those who nave given him
the hint and are fetching him flimsy
legal opinions and preparing his de
fense for the decision of the people
of th('United States when thh ras
cality is consummated. It should be
known Mud Mr. Cbat dler- \jho has
’punil*lied tl;e falsehood that all the
counties not yet reported are under
Democratic control, when in fact not
one county in Florida is under any
thing but absolute and exclusive Re
publican control, has here professed
publicly his faith in the Governor’s
single power—a power just now dug
up out of a thirty years old statute
superseded and repealed in every
line by later legislation, a power just
now conceived to be so convenient
for theconsummation of this appall
ing fraud—not upon Florida alone,
but upon the people of the whole
United States. I cannot ri§k com
mitting to the telegraph the 'meas
ures adopted to frustrate this desper
ate scheme of despots. Honest
Northern Republicans should block
their lirst step. What a delusion ia
the invitation of President Grant fq
fail 5 men of hot Ii parties to come
Imher and witness a fair count; and
how well the muskets and the can
non of the Federal Government are
planted to preclude and foil that hon
est supervision !

AN ALABAMA DRINK,
An Alabama paper says that the
other day, while sitting In the Cir
cuit Court, Judge Humphreys grew
weary of the endless tongues of at
torneys, and calling to a bailiff, said
Lustily ; “Go over to the Hole-in-the-
Wttll and bring me a drink of whis
key.”
The bailiff disappeared, aiql re-ap
peared shortly with an inch and a
half of corn juice in a glass, enough
for rtfy Christian man. but not a suf-
Uoien'uy’ for an Alabama judiciary
system.
“Go back !” thundered the Judge;
“iio back, and tell Hagarty to send
me a drink —a drink of whisky.”
The bailiff disappeared again, and
rt - n r,geared with a tumbler brimming
full.*
“Ah,” said the weasep of ermlnm
“that now is a drink ; but what,”
wiping his lips with the cuff of his
coat, “vvhat did he say ?”
“Oh, he didn’t say anything, your
Honor;” said the bailiff.
“Oh, yes, he must have made some
remark ; now, what did he say ?”
“Well, sir, your Honor, he said, l I
gent him a drink of whiskey at first;
I ditinft know the old fool wanted to
take a bath.’ ”
“What would be your notion of
absenf-mindness ? ” asked Rufus
, OffogJUi iff g witness whom ho was
( cross examining. fi.Well, and suit! the

AMOS T
The Views of Akrrmau In South Curoliun
Matter*.
Learning that Ainost T. Akerman,
the wed-known Radical politician
had returned from South Carolina,
whither lie had gone as one of
Grant’s counsel, a reporter of the
Constitution called upon him for his
views.
It will be perceived that the state
ments of Mr. Akerman are at vari
ance with all the information receiv
ed heretofore, and we give his opin
ions for what they are worth. The
following conversation ensued:
When did you leave Columbia,
and what was the status of matters
when you left ?
I left Columbia Wednesday night.
The board of State canvassers had
adjourned without day, haying com
pleted then duty, as they conceived,
by certifying the result of the elec
tion to the secretary of State, except
as to the office of Governor, with
which they had no c incern. The
court adjourned to Friday morning.
At whose instance did you go to
Columbia, and what did you have to j
do with the case before the court?
The lirst part of your question Ii
decline to answer. In the case be-,
fore the court I was counsel for one
of the Republican candidates fur a
Stato office, and co-operated with I
Messrs. Corbin and Fiiiolt, the coun- j
sel for the board.
What has become of the returning i
board, and what do they propose to
do about the attachment for con
tempt ?
The board of State canvrssers,
which,"l suppose, is what you mean
by tin* returning board, has ceased to
exist by its final adjournment and
by expiration of the time given by
law for performing its functions.
That time expired on Wednesday.
No attachment for contempt had
been issued when 1 left, so far as I
know. The members of the board
did not suppose themselves to be iu
contempt, not having violated any
order of the court.
As the returning board had recog
nized the jurisdiction of the court,
resorted to by the returning hoard ?
No trick at all. The hoard obeyed
every order which they received
from the court. They adjourned on
the day on which their functions
were to cease by law, and after hav
ing performed their functions as they
understood them, without having re
ceived from the court any order to
the contrary.
The preremptory mandamus as to
members of the legislature had not
been served on them when they ad
journed. And in fact their action in
relation to the members was in ac
cord with the mandamus in its most
reason ab I e interpretation.
What is your opinion as to the ex
act returns that would have been
made if no counties had been thrown
out ?
The returns made up by the county
canvassers and sent by them to Co
lumbia showed the republican Hec
tors of president to be chosen, the re
republican state officers to be chosen,
with possibly one exception, three
republicans and two democrats to lie
chosen to Congress, a small republi
can majority in the State senate, and
a democratic majority of four in the
house. The board does' not count the
votes for governor. Rutnor says that
for governor Hampton leads Cham
berlain twelve Hundred voice, ne tUo
vote is estimated by the county can
vassers. if none are thrown out.
What is proposed to be done by
each party so iar as you could gather
from what you heard?
1 have no knowledge of the inten
tions of the democrats. All the
Means with whom I conversed seem
ed to approve ot the action of the (
board and to be prepared to sustain :
it.
Give me vvhat you consider the ex
act points at issue at Columbia ?
The law makes the board of State
canvassers a tribunal to decide pro
tests and contests, except in cases
where the constitution vests such
power in some other body. The
democrats contend that under this
authority the board cannot deter
mine contests for seats in tlie legisla
ture, each house of which is the
judge of the election of its own
members. Tlie I'opublloaus agree to
this as to the final right to a seat
but say that the board may entertain
a contest so far as to ascertain who is
entitled to tlie certificate and to par
ticipate in the organization.
The democrats say that the board
cannot constitutionally entertain any
contest, because such a function is
judicial and cannot he performed by I
a board of executive officers, the
state constitution denying to each of
these classes of officers the function
of the others,
The republicans say that question
of contested election are not judicial
in the sense in which that term is
used in the constitution, but are
rather political. The democrats at
first seeinecj to think that the state
canvassers had no duties but to add
up the statements of the votes made
up by the county canvassers and to
certify the result so obtained; but
latterly they insist that the stato can
vassers should go behind the action
of the county canvassers and look
into tlie returns of the precinct man
agers, the legality of the precincts.
The republicans think that the
state canvassers can go fully Into all
the points involved in a contest.—

THE GERMANS AS PEACEMAKERS.
We have been shown a letter ad
dressed by Major Gen. Frans Sigel
to one of our German citizens in this
place, discussing the propriety of call
ing a convention or conference of rep
resentative German-A merean citi
zens throughout the whole country,
fur the purpose of discussing tne pe
culiar situation of tlie country in
view of tlie election and its results,
and tq take gffeh Step* as jn wis
dom would tend to direct public opin
ion into legitimate and proper chan
nels. We are informed that this pro
ject is meeting with universal favor
among our own German-American
citizens, and we ourselves commend
this undertaking heartily. This is by
no means intended to be a partisan
movement, but a consultation among
patrjols, irrespective of their past po-.
liUc.ilaineifffibr*.
The' voice of reason and justice
when promulgated by a class of our
citizens who are among the most en
lightened an energetic—and especial
ly in view Of tup fact that nearly
2000,000 of them were enrolled as sol
diers under the banner of the Union
during the late war—must of neces
sity have its influence for good.
We hail this movement as a furth
er omen of the determination of the
people, irrespective of party ties, to
see*that the will of the nation as .ex
pressed at the ballot box shall not be
thwarted by fraud or evil practice on
the part of any one, and are glad to
see that our German-American citi
zens are never behind or absent
when the country needs tho services
of good and true men.— Knoxville
