“Guits and Drurps,” our charming,
and 'dashing brother Anderson WV
Reesoi as we suppose it to be, of the i
Macon Telegraphy became quite fare*!
tious to editorials that" af>-'
pea red in. the last Issue of The' Ex
press in reference to the political
situation- Now, when ..Anderson
getsLiiarbds.with’ the jen his wit
sparkles as brightly as diamonds in
the rough, and his sarcasm is as cut
ting as—well it don’t cut deep. For
all J.htst we like Anderson Retrse, and
hope he will hold up his little shafts
Just for. a few moments the next
timathPy are aimed at uS in a play
ful .way; Be aisy, my boy.
Afitiefisou says tee “areready forthe

we afe ‘'the only man in Georgia
wholaiks that way*” Says Ander
son, the Jacetibus : “Everybody else
in the South, when they laid by their

and intended to be counted out wheii
the next tight came along.” etc., etc.,
that we-have not * the space to re

Vt’ell,:'Anderson, my joe John, of
a lively brother, that is just about
the way some' people talked about
“Charley Wilingham,” as you are
pleased to cad us in your home-like
familiar way, in-1867, along in the
months of March, April and May of
that yeivv when he wrote
dently Vn opposition to the people of
Georgia voluntarily, and at the bal
lot box, accepting the terms of re
construction. -“They said,” many of
them, that “Willingham was. too
rash,” and yet in three months, time
the whole p;ss^of v Georgia was as
out*s;yoken as wfe were, and all have
had the pleasure of seeing Georgia
redeemed from Radical rule and the
government of the State placed in
thbMi&ods of her true people, and
brotner Reese became as loud in his
denunciation of the reconstruction
measures of the Radical Congress and
the operation ofAhejn .in th£*S<mt-h
as “dfmriey Willingham,” Ain’t
that about so, as nearly as you can
remember, Brother Anderson ?
Well, tnere is a great political
crisis iti thf& dblrntiry just abotrt nt)W.'
Public liberty is tjireateued and the
sacrednt. sof the ballot,’the palladium
of freedom, is about to be outraged
in tb-ree Southern States in order to

Suppose the <verst should be forced
upon theeouutry by the treason of the
Ruiical party in an attempt to force
thelV candidate*in the Presidential
chair in violation*of all right and
against law, and thus defy the popu*~
lar syiU of the quinary, can Ameri
can freemen quietly .submit to the
outrage? And ifoiy* Northern Bern
ocraficbrethren, who are in the ma
jority i' should deCermine to preserve
public iiberty at all hazards, and
should be compelled to do so by phy
sical lorce, would the South stand
by and look .on wjth indifference?
We hope to God such an issue will
be averted, and have faith that it
will, though leading men at the
North are now fearing the worst.
But if we tamely express submission
under all circumstances in advance
we may be.sure the Radical party
will perpetrate any outrage to secure
the seating of Hayes in the Presi
dential dbtfir; The right spirit in ad
vance may deter the seouudrels from
committing .the fraud, and Ameri
cau liberty may *be thus preserved
by a bold attitude upon the part of
the Jjemocracy. - / *
If our brother Anderson W. Reeee,
who was a good aiicf braye soldier,
can tnke a different view •of such,
a state of thingfs as we have referred '
to, and ai tempt to be facetious antU
ironical at our expense upon a subject
so fdll of moment to the people of
this country,'we can obly let him
laugh on as Nero, fiddled whih Rome

too 3prious, and. will .not attempt
to put p.deeper coloring on the situa
tion titan the facts’ will warrant'; but
it isTrseiessto disguise the fact that
our political institutions are at a criti

remonstrance against the treasonable
plotters threatening public liberty, .
We hope the pebple of. tbe : 8 >utn
will be calm and law bidin._ ayd

every const!'uliona 1 and lawful rem

We give upon Jhe.opposite page a
| pretty full account of* what was done
in regard to’the Presidential election
in the three disputed States on Tues
day. T The news VKen given presents
to our readers a fair insight, as to
-what progress has been and,ihe
i.ppesent status of ttie situation.* - Hav

press until this morning we giyp a*

terday. • : ,-•••'•
{-‘The situation ;in ’South Cftroliria
; yesterday was but little varied from
the-proceedings-‘-of the day before.
The troops still command the State

forth in Carolina hall with 68. mem.
bers vith the two republicans. The
senate is undivided and adjourneu
yesterday until to-morrow, postpon

then. The" Sen ale is recognized by
both houses... The Republican house
has seated the five Republican mem
bers from Barnwell;
From Louisiana there is but little
additional news. Weils stated yes
terday that the testimony in the con
tested cases must be in by to-morrow,
when the board would go into exec
utive session, at* which time the
Democrats could present two witness
es in the case of Ouchita parish, one
at a time. Statements f.om all the
parishes are now in, and the demo
cratic committee has obtained the
official figures of every parish They
vary only a few hundred, due t-> the
throwing out of pools, from the fig
ures*'heretofore telegraphed. On
Thursday the board will dispose of
the East Baton Rouge case.
The Democrats in Florida seem to
be making Some progress in the es
tablishment of the right. The ses
sion yesterday was exciting. Gov.
Brown made several good points, and
the Democrats establishing.two eases
perfectly—that 01 the majority of 135
votes ih Baker, which were wickedly
and flagrantly suppressed by the
Secretary of the-Board on yesterday,
and that af the 23 votes in Clay thar
were left*>ut"w(thout cause oV excuse.'
Tie- Bakpr county fraud was more
thoroughly exposed than even the
Democratajioped it could be. The
Democrats made an attack against
219,votes in i\laehua,tha.t were purely
irresistible, being backed by two di
three inspectors and tWo’.of the three
county -managers, all republicans.-
Florida now .hangs on two returns

irregular, giving the S’ate to Hiyes •

FOR MESSENGER OF THE HOUSfj.
We are inforiiietl that Col. W. B.
Jones, of Troup county, will be a
candidate for re-election as Messen
ger of the House at the meeting of
the incoming Legislature. He re
fers, most respectfully,-to the tnem-
J?ers of the last' Legislature. Col
Jones is one of the truest men in
Georgia* JJft .wan .jitood. firmer to
the “Lost Cause” than he did, as
'numbers of old soldiers ,in this sec
tion of Georgia can fully attest , from
experience. . ■
He became Colonel of the regiment
first raised by our own illustrious
citizen of Bartow, Colonel W. H,
Stiles. He was a worthy successor
in that regiment to one of Georgia”
most patriotic sons who is now no
more among us. We trust every
member of the House in Cherokee
Georgia will give Colonel Jones their
support. He is worthy of it, or this
paper would never commend him.
He needs the office because he has
lost all for the “Lost Cause.” We
ask the friends of the South every
where to vote for Col. Jones for mes
senger, and hope the papers of the
Stan* will give an oid newspaper
man and a brave and gallant soldier
a push in their columns. We know
him and will suear by his devotion
to the people of Georgia during and
since the war.' *
OUR CMSAB AT WORK.
President Grant seems to have no
respect whatever, for the supremacy
of the civil over military power.
His order placing, troops at the dis
poial’of Chamberlain in South Caro
lina on Sunday last, to overawe and
intimidate civil government, is but
another one of the monstrosities he is
guilty of. It is sufficient to arouse
the American pe/iple' with indigna
tion. His concentration- of troops at
the Federal.capital upon the evtvof
the assembling-of Congress is-hut
another threatening movuut nf upbr*
popular government/ * •
v In response to'theorder forthe dis
posai of troops in South .Carolina,
prominent Democrats in that-Stati
jiaye addressed a telegraphic protest
to the President. At present writing
we have no idea that Grant will pay
any sort of attention to the protest.
His object is to serve ins party in its.
infamous concoction ant every risk of
popular rights and by any usurpation
necessary to give that service.
If Grant and his party succeeds in
the end with their conspiracy against
the rights of the people,- we may eon
elude there is little of popular liberty

(• . } ATLANTA .1 VKN ALISM,
livery few months there is a change
!in the journal ism bf Atlanta. A pa
|'per becomes extinct-only to be fol
i lowed by another-new applicant for
public favor. Since the war none
liaye .*heyn. able to withstand the
pressure of the.times save the Ccmxli
tution. It has lived to see numerous
of its city cotemporaries give up the
ghost. Its strongest and most tena
cious coinpetitor has been the Herald.
That held a precarious existence for
two or three years, and at last had to
succumb to . the inexorable circum
stances that attend all such enter
prises not directed by the skill and
experience of “trained journalists.”
It was edited with great sprightliness
and spirit, and there were none but
regretted its failure. The Sn, perhaps
bad 'the largest circulation at one
time of any. paper that has ever ex
.isted-in Atlanta. Money was lav
ished upon it, but inexperience and
impracticable business management
sunk it. The Constitution has ab
sorbed everything in the way of
newspapers in Atlanta since the war
except the others now existing.
Last week the commonwealth, a
lively sheet, full of vim, gave up the
ghost, and is no morp. Col. Styles,
its editor, has united with Bridges
W. Smith and Samuel W. Small, of
the Sunday Herald , in the publication
of Evening Telegram which takes
the place of the Commonwealth.
Theseareall experienced men.and we
trust they will succeed, as neither the
Herald or the Telegram can in any
way conflict with the morning papers
of that city. We sincerely hope our
frinds of the two papers may succeed
beyond their expectation.
ihe Const:tu ion is beginning to as
sume thedignity and dimensions, and
to take in the territory, a nd to be
what Henry Grady once desired his
Atlanta Daily Herald to be—to the
South Atlantic States what the Cou
rier-Journal is to the Southwest as a
great newspaper. Henry failed in
his laudable ambition; but it seems
the new management of the Consliiu
tioh is Trying to take in the scope of
Grady’s aspirations and to fill the
great journalistic niche with consid
erable show of su-’C'SS.
The Times, edited with classical
ability and gen ml good sens.*, is a
new paper. It has-not acquired the
strength of age that gives force to
n wspaper*prosperity. We trust the
gentlemen will throw more vim into
it and succeed in giving us a paper
eqiml to ‘the Constilution in point of
news.
The last we mention is the bright
■Bunny>S9uth. That is ihe most ele
gantly printed literary paper in the
United. States, in our (i}ur.ion. It is
a credit.to the South and our people
ought to support it with unstinted
liberality. We hope tosee it prospei
.beyond" all,ex peer* ’on.'
MR. STLI'HENS o.> . rifc, SITUATION*^'.
Hon. A. H. Stephens, who arrived
in Washington bait week, and was
soon" ftnerv+eWed by a press*-reporter
the political situation. He says
there wilJL..be-no .Wijr; that, there are
none-to threaten war or wen !!■;• >buC
inat our difficiflties must 'be settled
.within the iavv; if our courts do not
-give us-justice we must wait, that
the thunders of the -press and the
moral' s'entiment of t.,e country" will
permit no great wrong to be done,
and say s a war pro peet he will not
contemplate as if is not possible. Mr.
Stephens’isof the opinion that the
action of the returning board in
South Carolina was so infamous in
its theft of- the votes of that State
that no body of men could be found
dishonest enough to think that it
ought to be counted. lie still hoped
that out of this muddle would come
something so decisive as to cast over
board all of these .troubled issues.
It is not often Mr. Stephens is mis
taken, and we hope his presence and
counsel in ‘V ashing on may avail
much to avert trouble in th'seountry.
He is satisfied of the elect ion of Til
den, and will bend all his influence
.to secure a prop, r recognition of that
fact by the country generally, in
cluding all parties.
THE NEW YORK SUN.
There is no. paper, in the United
States that has labored more faithful
ly in the cause of “law and order”
than the Sun. Its advocacy of the
election of the Democratic Presiden
tial ticket has been marked by* a de
votion to correct principle in govern
ment and the question of reform in
ii administration, that should com
mand the. esteem of the liberty-lovillg
people of this continent. Lt has stood
fly ihp "people and demanded for
them honest government. It has
held- up to popular condemnation
the present administration, with a
power aiid force that has greatly
aided in opening the eyes of every
class of voters to the enormities of
Radical rule—its corruption, its usur
pation, its oppression of a free people
and its utter disregard of ail consti
tutional safeguards, and limitations
intended to protect popular rights;
We deem it but just to make the
foregoing remarks that, our people
who d.eske a.good paper from New
York city may know thar they T can
not subscribe fbr a bolder, abler or
better one than, the Sun.
When Wade Hampton stood be
fore the people at Columbia last Tues
day. but a ft w hours after his home
had been’leveled .to the ground by
the incendiary, his family barely es
caping in tneir night clothes; while
the bayonets of the Federal army
were bristling defiance to the people
of the State at the behests of Radical
tyranny; when the people were ex
asperated almost to th sj ration : we
say, when Hampton stood there un
der sueh circumstances, cool and calm
and deliberately counseled peace and
forbearance, it presented an exhibi
tion of moral grandeur and a sub
limity of endurance unequaled in the
annals of dilatory. Such a picture is
a fit subject for the sculptor’s grand
est achievement in producing a rep-

THF EXPKESS.
A few dayes ago, the LaGrange
Reporter , one of the best weekly pa
lters in Georgia, said, “The Carters*
vilie Express, under the manage
ment of Mr. 'Willingham, is a better
paper than Cartersville ever had be
iore.”
Last week the Savannah Aeutf came
forward with Unseucvuraging remark
"We love to read the Careersi le
Express because it is always printed
uu goou paper, wan cear,Origin type
ana makes a good impression upon a
Georgia news editor.”
And tue Macon Telegraph, noticing
mai we are a canuiuate lor State
printer, feaiiessly added: “We will
say tins lor brother Willingham; that
noue-ut the craltmen do neater print
tog.” -
iiiese are paragraphs that just
happened to fall under our eye as we
wrote I his paragraph, and are only
a lew of the same sort that occur
irum week to week emanating from
various journals of the State.
We intend to make The Express
one of the best weekly papers in the
State—it we can. Now that the po
litical campaign has expired, more
attention will oegiveu to the mate
rial interests of our section of Geor
gia.
The Dalton Enterprise says a good
thing for us as fulijws: Mr. C. H. C.
Willingham, editor of The Cam
tersville Express, is a candidate
for State Printer, provided he can
get the office without “combining.”
Mr. Willingham has been driving a
Democratic quilt for a quarter of a
eentury, and he now avows that he
-.as never yet m idea cent yet out of
politics. We think the Georgia Leg
islature would perform a master
stroke of genius were they to cen
tre on Willingham on the first bal
lot. Who knows?
The Dalton Enterprise is one of our
best Cherokee Georgia papers. It
has a good circulation. It has de
voted much of its space to the cause
of developing and making known
the advantaged of this section of our
State. It is well edited and we trust
will succeed in its efforts to build up
its town, which it has greatly aided
since its establishment.
The New Yura Herald# says Mr.
Estill, of the Savannah (Ga.) News ,
having recovered from his recent ill
ness, is a candidate for the Legisla
ture.” The mistake of the Herald D
that Mr. E. Is not a candidate. Un
friends, however, are urging him for
that position in various parts of the
State. Not one word about the mat
ter has appeared in his paper.

THE EXPRESS,
ITNDER the present mar rgtr(tt, • fas*
J . growing into popularity as U rapidly
increasing circulation lully attests; and if
present ratio of increase continues, it willscoi
have the lnrgest circulation of any weekly
paper in the State. Coming to Cartersville
under somewhat adverse circumstencrs, with
false impressions made in advance ef his
coming, to bis detriment, and finding the pa
per nearly “run down,” the present proprietor
feels himself under many grateful obligations
to numerous friends for the aid tbsy have
given him in reviving this once popular pa
per. These have given to its circulation an
impetus which it is hoped will make it a power
in this section of Georgia for good—for the
building up of our materitl interests
end for the promotion or the cause of true and
undefiled Democracy.
The Expvcw
Will ever be found the true an unfliaebin
friend of tlse People, the opponent of all
cliques, rings or combinations, if there be any
such organisations 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 sentioient;is 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 undci
all circumstances, the great and cardinal
principles which uuuerlie and form the basis
of all free government. Opposed to all inno
vations upon the principles of the Democ
racy,
•
The ExpresH
'Flu be found “now and forever,” a Pemo
•.‘ratic 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 pro|ieritv of this country de
pend upon a restoration ot the old landmarks
of our fathers—a return to flrst principles,
alone can retain to us free government,and an
honest administration of the political affairs ol
the country.
The Express
will never omtt any occasion to set forth the
great advantage* of Cherokee Georgia. Its
aim will he to advance by all means in its
power, the material prosperity of this section
of Georgia, tavored as it is, with a climate, the
fliH#t in the world, with a toil unsurpassed,
and with agricultural and miueral resources
unequal**!—inhabited by an honest add thrifty
people, ietellige.nt and worthy of all prosperi
ty. To develop these sources of wealth, and to
make Gherokeo Georgia the | garden spot ot
the country will be among the chief efforts f
this journal.
The Express,
therefore, appeals to an honest and discriml
nating public for that patronage which shall
plane it In our power, to present a good pa
per, creditable to the State in which it is pub
lished and a special pride to the people of Bar
tow county. Rapidly overcoming the false
and infamous, the weak and silly charge that
this journal was to be, or is to he, or is the or
gan of a ring—an Imposition on general Intel
ligence--
The Express
will bn found in|the and a Journal that will
not stoop to subserviency in any form—that it
is a free and honoot paper that will rest its
prosperity upon its own merits, and will now
seek to build up itself by imploring sympa
thy or by effort* to create false prejudice
against others. If
The Express
cannot win peponlar favor ’upon the ground
of merit, the sooner it becomes extinct the
better it will be for the popular good. There
fore all who are willing to trust an honest pur
pese and effort to present a respectable jour
nal, true In its Democracy, true to the peopl
ed true to right an 1 Justice. are respectfully
solicited to become subscribers to Tax
