Cartersville, December 7, 1876.
THE REPUBLIC OK AN EMPIRE ?
There is no doubt but that this
e untry is iu the midst of great dan
gers to its liberties. The recent
Presidential election has given the
occasion, we fear, for plotters against
public liber y to concoct some direful
scheme against the rights of the peo
ple. At the present writing (Tues
day afternoon) we have no idea as to
l ow the electoral votes of Florida,
Louisiana ami South Carolina will he
counted for President. However
these may be counted, it will devolve
upon Congress to decide as to the
legality of the count. In the event
ti :it the question becomes one of
.implication in Congress, it may
transpire at toe proper tiire that the
Mack phantom of Caesar ism may ap
pear, and by a coup d'etat subvert
American tree go /eminent and erect
upon its ruins an empire, or place tin
people of the government under a
dictatorship.
]he N>u York Herald , in its issue
of the Ist inst., contained a very sig
nificant article, double-leaded. Re
fining to the employment of United
(States troops in South Carolina, it asks*
“What motive can he have for vio
lating the constitution, as he has so
palpably done in South Carolina?”
Sa\s the Herald, ‘‘lt makes little
difference to him whether Hayes or
Tilden is the next President of the
United States.” The Herald , further
on in its article, says that “it seems
probable that the senate will claim
that Mr. Hayes is elected and ih
bouse that Mr. ’iilden is elected, and
that, with two claimants for the of
fice, an excuse may tie found for cut-
ting the knot with the sword that
“the man who wields the sword will
be master of the situation.” Tin
Herald comes to the conclusion that
it has “too much confidence in the
American people to believe that
there will be any resort to force un
less there should be a deliberate shap
ing of events to that end by the com
mander-in chief of the army.”
These extracts from the Herald
give an Idea of its opinion of Grant’s
purposes in the impending crisis.
There can be no denial of the charge
that Grant greatly desired a third
Presiential term, and that it was the
great force of popular sentiment that
detected his immediate friends from
nominating him atCineinati last sum
mer. If the decision oi the Presiden
tial contest should reach Congress,
and the question there can he so com
plicated as to de feat a fair settlement
•>f it wp havp no doubt hut that Geij
arm of the government to decide the
issue recording to his own desire,
whether that involved a dictatorship
for the government of the people or
the establishment of an empire. The
President has already demonstrated
his utter disregard of all constitution-
Si obligations or limitations as the
chief executive of the nation. What
was done at Columbia a week ago in
placing armeu troops at the threshold
of a free State Legislature, shows to
plainly that lie has no scruples as to
the t-m ploy men t of the military de
partment whenever it is necessary to
subserve his purposes or the ends of
liis party. If he violently subverts
State constitutions what may we ex
pect in sue i a complication in de
ck’ g the Presidential election that
maj give him an opportunity of ex
ercising a revolutionary act in thesul -
version of the Federal government
for his own selfish purposes?
As little as the common people
may think of it there is a large class
of politicians who are in favor of a
stronger government than they be
lieve that of the United States to be.
Their sympathies are in favor of an
empire. A. few years ago a paper
was published in New York city cell
ed The Imperialist. It was ably ed
ited, and its correspondents from va
rious parts of the country were nu
merous. The paper, however, ex
isted but for a few brief mouths as it
evidently had appeared before its
time. Last week a similar paper ap
peared in hew Orleans under the
title of The Empire. Its heading
contained a vignette ot the head of
Grant, surmounted by a crown and
its motto is, “The empire is peace.”
These two Efforts have been made
ein#e Grant has been made President
to establish imperial organs in this
country—the first at the North and
the other at the South. Unite these
facts with the other of Grant’s utter
disregard of constitutional law, either
State or national, and we see in them
a lingering aud timid purpose to
crush republican government and to
rear upon its ruins an empire when
ever an opportunity presents itself.
It is right here the great crisis will
come of a struggle between free gov
ernment and imperialism if the
Presidential question is not settled
indisputably before reaching Con
gress, and it is believed by the im
perialists that the people will submit
to such a change of government as
they desire. And next comes the
question, Will the people submit?
If they tamely submit to a false
counting of a Presidential vote, aud
offer no resistance to the inauguration
of a fraudulently elected President,
could we expect them to resist tyr
anny or usurpation, come in what
ever shape it may ?
This country is doubtless in a great
crisis. Public liberty is seriously
threatened. There are desperate men
with power to wield our destiny to
the ii jury and oppression of all. Can
we quietly look on, indifferent as to
whether wo shall have the republ'c
or an empire?
Now is the time to subscribe fat

MEETING f) F CONOKESS.
The second session of the forty
foutth Congress met on Monday last.
A United States Congress never as
sembled at any time with matters of
greater import resting upon its de
li l**rations and patriotism. The con
dition of the great American repuie
lic is threatened with dissolution,
and it will, perhaps, require the
wisest judgment to avert the national
calamity.
The Senate met at noon on Monday.
Several new members were swo.n
in—among them Jame G Blaine,
the arch-politician and special enemy
of the Southern people. There was
but little of importance the first day.
Edmunds offered a resolution, which
was laid on the table, but ordered
printed, wh ch recited that, whereas,
the constitution provides for the
method of electing representatives to
Congress and recites who are entitled
to vote for such representatives, and
whereas it is alleged that in tb*
States of South Carolina, Alabama
Louisiana and Mississippi, the right.*
of many sueh persons were denied
and abridged during the late election,
and resolving that the committee on
privileges and elections be authorized
to inquire whether such rights \\er
denied and abridged, and if so t
what extent and who nave beet
affected by such denial and abridge
ment, has been carried on; also, that
said committee inquire into ’he fact
whether any presidential electors in
the late election were disqualified and
whether any of them have been in
terfered with in their rights and
qualifications, and whether there is
any constitutional remedy therefor;
that said committee employ clerks
and stenographers and he empowered
to take testimony and administer
oaths.
The House was called to order by
Chief Clerk Adams, when on motion
to re-elect the speaker, Mr. Banks
appealed from the decision of tin
clerk that the speaker should ht
elected before new ■members wen
sworn in to vote, which motion was
laid on the table and Mr. Randall
was elected. Speaker Randall ad
dressed the house, thanking the mem
bers for the great honor conferred, m
the course of which Randall said that
the house stands now in the presence
of events, which, in the last degree,
demand the most careful considera
tion of every officer of the govern
ment, and he expressed the hope that
the representatives of the-, people
would act only with a keen sense of
right and so as to carry out the just
expectation of the people and to en
force the right.
Committees were then ordered to
go to Florida, Lou sianq and South
Carolina, and the committees consist
of Saylor, of Ohio; Abbott, of Massa
chusetts ; Stenger, of Pennsylvania ;
Eden, of Illinois; Jones, of Ken
tucky; Phillips, of Missouri; Banks,
of Massachusetts; Lawrence, of
Ohio; Taphara, of New York,
ness of the first day’s proceedings of
the.second session of the forty-fourth
Congress.
In the senate on Tuesday, after
some corrections of the journal was
made in regard to the vote on the
proposition to appoint select com
mittees to the. three disputed States
speaker announced the committees:
On Louisiana, Morrison, or Illi
nois; Jenkins, of Pennsylvania;
McMahon, of Ohio; Lynd , of Wis
consin ; Btackhurne, of Kentucky;
Meade, of 'New York ; House, of
Temnasee; Phoips, of Connecticut;
New, oi Indiana ; Ross, of New J* r
sey; Townsend, of Pennsylvania;
Dan ford, of Ohio; Hurlbut, of Illi
nois; Crapo, of Massachusetts, and
Joice, of Vermont.
On Florida, Thompson, of Massa
chusetts; Dehalt, of Missouri; Wal
ling, of Ohio; Hopkins, of Pennsyl
vania ; Garfield, of Ohio; Dunnell,
of Ivlinnessota.
On South Carolina, the name of
Cochrane, of Pennsylvania, was sub
stituted for that of Stenger, of Penn
sylvania; and was excused on ac
count of illnessf in his family.
The President’s message was rtad
in the house, a short synopsis of which
appeared in the Constitution of yes
terday. As we hop© to give it in
full next week, we will not attempt
to give a synopsis this week. A
strange part of the message is the re
ticence of Grant upon the political
condition in Florida, Louisiana and
Sou'h Carolina.
A WORD FROM HATES.
A few days ago it.is reported that
Gov. Hayes expressed the wish that
Lamar, Hampton and Southern men
like them to know and he assured
that he believed nimself fairly elected
President ; that he meant to be
President, and to be his own man,
and to have his own policy; that no
man who had been prominently con
cerned in Grant’s administration at
Washington or elsewhere, should
have any office df power under his
admini-tratlon ; he thought reform
absolutely necessary, and impossible
except by calling in new men and
dropping men now in power and
place; he thought Hampton had acted
a noble part Jin the recent events in
South Carolina, for which, the eoun
tiy owed him thanks. If hp became
President he should wish to call La
mar into his cabinet and he wou.d
frame his Southern policy on advice
of Lamar and Hampton. Complaints
of Southern people about carpet-bag
gers were just. He favored iustiee
to the negroes, and was convinced
this could be got best by trusting
honorable, influential Southern
whites.
It is further asserted that Hayes
said that, as soon as the electoral
vote was declared and his election
thus publicly expressed, he would
have a private conference wirh La
mar and Hampton, with the object
of harmonizing the difference and
for the good of their seething, be
lieving reconciliation was absolutely
necessary fbr the good of the whole
THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
MS"
At the piesent writing I Wednes
day morning) we are unable to give
anything absolutely definite from the !
three contested States. A Washing
ton dispatch, of Tuesday, states that
Senator Morton was overheard to say
♦hat he had two dispatches from.
Florida, leaving it in doubt. Not a
word through the regular channels.
A special dispatch from New Or
leans to the Atlanta Constitution ,
dated Tuesday' night, 11:30, says the
overturning board has been in secret
session for two days. Nobody has
i>een admitted to witness the count or
determination. The returns were
given that night to the official organ
for promulgation. Nothing is known
of the actual figures, but it is certain
that Hayes and Packard are counted
mto accomplish this. They must
have largely reduced the vote of the
parish of Orleans something which
tfieir audacity has never attempted
before. It is further thought that
the Republican candidates have been
counted in for Orleans, where 12.000
Democratic majority was given. The
object of this is, if true, to provoke
disturbance in that parish. The at
tempt will he a failure. However,
he board will not r* veal the result,
hut it is certain that the Democratic
State and national ticket have been
counted out.
An associated press dispatch, same
date, says the declaration ef the re
turning board gives La wee, one of
the Hayes electors, 3,437 majority.
The highest majority is 4,567. It is
understood that they give the entire
State ticket 3,500 majority, and a ma
jority in the Legislature.
A special to the New York Times ,
dated New Orleans, Monday, says;
Late to-night a number of Tilden
electors arrived in New Orleans
They will all be here to-morrow and
will receive certificates of election
from McEnery, who still claims to
have been legally elected to 'heoffice
which Gov. Kellogg now holds.
With these documents they will pro
■•eed to Washington, and claiming
that they are the only legal electors
from Louisiana, will demand that
their votes shall be counted.
In South Carolina there is but lit
tle change, A Columbia dispatch, of
Tuesday, informs us that the Demo
cratic house has gained two more
from the Republican house with cer
tificates from the hoard of canvassers,
making 62 and only lacking one ot
the constitutional quorum. Both
houses are in session, also the senate.
The ttoops are now being removed
and special constables supply their
places.
State constables have replaced the
troops at the state house, and a large
number of special sergeants-at-arms
have been p'aced at the doors of the
senate and house. Troops are still
retained in the state house for tlie
purporeof protecting the Governor,
and a sentinel paces from Chamber
lain’s door.
sion canvassed the vote. Edgefield
and Laurens were thrown out. The
Democratic senators retired. Cham
berlain was declared elected by 3,044
votes.
Hampton spoke Tuesday evening,
leclaring ’hat he intended to be Gov
ernor. In the supreme court argu
ment was heard in the application
fora mandamus compelling the sec
retary of state to deliver the returns
to Speaker Wallace, and the papers
taken under advisement.
Argument on quo warranto pro
ceedings requiring 'he H .ves electors
to show by wtiat authority they ex
ercise the functions of their office,
will he heard to-morrow morning.
The electors meet to morrow’.
WHAT GRANT SAYS.
The press reports state that Hon.
A. S. Hewitt, of New York, had a
long conference with President Grant
last Saturday. In view of Mr.
Hewitt’s close relation to Governor
L'ildea,the meeting g ive rise to much
speculation in Washington with re
gard to its meaning. Mr. Hewitt
says he is only at liberty to state that
the President himself is astonished
that anybody even the most hitter
and violent partisan, should attribute
to him any'bther than the most pa
triotic intention ; he especially and
emphatically disclaimed any inten
tion on his part to assume or exer
cise any other power than that vest
ed iu him by the Constitution, and
that all statements about his decla
ration as to who was and who was
not elected President were without
any foundation. He further said
that he was fully aware that the
country would not stand any at
tempt to defeat the will of (lie peo
ple, and no man could afford to ac
cept the office of President if thee
was doubts ia the public’s mind
about his fair and legal election. Mr.
Hewitt said that the conversation be
tween the President and himself was
entirely satisfactory, hut that he was
not liberty to impart what occurred
but if the Presideut authorizes him
he will gladly make public an ac
count as far as his recollection of
what transpired will permit.
Soon after the House of Repre
sentatives of South Carolina weie
called to order last Monday morning,
Speaker Wallace announced that, as
there were one iiundred special con
stables in the State House to reject
the Democratic members, and as he
feared such a movement would be
resorted to and bloodshed would en
sue, he adjourned the legally elected
house to meet at Carolina hall. The
Democrats in a body withdrew to
Carolina ha 1. The Republicans thin
went into secret session in the State
house.
The Presidential electoral college
met in Atlanta <n Monday, hut
nothing was done on that and .y except
to make Gen. A-R. Lawton chair
man. Mr. T. K. Oglesby, of Aqgqs
ta, was chosen as secretary. The col
lege was then adjourned over to yes
terday when the vote of the State

FOR STATE PRINTER.
We announced ourself as a candi
date for State printer, provided that
office can be securer} outside of trad
ing combinations. Of course we have
little hope of election, as combina
tions rule all such election". Several
of our exchanges have given us a lit
tle encouragement, and we present a
tew specimens:
The Albany JYetcs says: Mr.
Willingham has done good service
for the State; and we should not ob
ject at seeing him elected State print
er. If he only had a little more brass
about him, and appreciated himself
more highly than he does we should
consider Ids chances for success a i
- better .ban they are.
The Carrol ton Times puts us f r
ward in its section, thus: Willing
ham is a practical printer and one ot
the best in the State, and there is no
more competent man in Georgia, for
the position. Moreover, ho has done
some- good wrok for the party in
Georgia, and his application deserves
consideration on that source.
But the Chronicle a A Sentinel
comes to us with this sort of a dam
per : (J. H. C. Willingham announ
ces himself a candidate for State
Printer, if that office can be secured
without “combining.” Giving Wil
lingham the benefit of the doubt-, we
withhold our"" rt until his alle
..ianceto the .ed States flag is
beyond questu n.
Having been in the printing busi
ness for twenty-eight years devoting
all of that time to journalism and
practical printing, we feel that we
can, with some tort of consistency,
ask for the office, espeeial'y when
amateurs who kqow nothing of prac
tical printing are occasionally elect
ed to that very responsible position
We believe we are the only candi
date in Cherokee Georgia for the of
fice, and we respectfully ask the sup
port of the Democracy of the State
for the position.
While we have stood as firmly to
the cause of the people and of free
government since the war, we do
I not claim any privilege or rights on
j that ground. We ask for the office
i solely upon the ground that we are a
j practical printer, and propose to see
j the work economically done. All
j we should desire would he a fair re
muneration for services rendered, to
tie determined by a committee of
honest and discreet practical printers
capable of according such reuumera
tiou justly.
Now, if the Legislature is willing
to elect such a State printer, bud
have his services decided as we have
indicated, and without any combi
nation upon our part with anybody,
we hereby announce ourself as a can
didate for that office; but if the Leg
islature is to he controlled by com
binations, we will not enter a scram
ble of the sort.
If any of our confrers of the press
are willing to publish the foregoing
wfl will reciprocate the favor when

.Justice dernan Is that it should wave over his
office. Let him have it by all means—he has
earned it, and i* entitled to it.
We certainly thank our friend
Hanbury for the above compliment.
We lay no special claim for any de
votion we have exhibited for the suc
cess of the Democratic party in
Georgia "Thee the war It’s not egotis
tie in us to say that no cause has lay
nearer or ‘has been dearer to our
heart than that our beloved old State
should stand as she does a true Dem

tional liberty.
When our political sky was over
hung by the pall of reconstruction,
; and the political rights of the people
of % his Suite were about to he subvert
ed by the usurpations of R idicalism,
we felt it our duty as a true journal
ist to warn our people against any
stultification in accepting reconstruc
tion at the ballot-box. To avert this
w£ labored and risked everything
during the whole period of recon
struction in Georgia. These ’labors
werehutnblei and somewhat circum
scribed, hut were none the less earnest
and unselfish.
For our humble efforts in behalf of
public liberty we claim no higher
meed than that of doing tlie work
of pure patriotism, the inward con
sciousness of which is the highest re
ward and the sweetest satisfaction
we can enjoy.
Charlie Willingham, oi' the Express, gives
the citizens of Cnrteraville anil Bartow county
a plain,sensible talk cencetning his paper,ami.
it the people of that section do not properly
sustain The Kxkress then they should re
lapse intooriginul barbarism, and be given up
as lost. There is no better local paper in the
South than The Express.
The above is from the Augusta
Constitutionalist, the oldest and u o
the best papers in the State. The
circulation of The Express is ail
that we could reasonably expect—
perhaps better than a large majority
of tl/e country papers in the State.
But it should he remembered that
adv Prising is the only profitable
part of a local paper. If our fripmls
in Cartersviile—we mean the mer
chants and business men—will give
us a reasonable support, \te shall en
deavor to make The Express the
best weekly paper in Cu rgia. A
we have said, we do not and cannot
expect the liberal advertising patron
age that bet ter limes would give us.
But upon tiie principle of ‘‘Live
and let live,” we do not expect a bet
ter patronage than we have. Jf the |
people of Cartersviile and Bartow
poijnty want a good paper they must
see and know the necessity of at least
giving it a living support, and not
try to starve it out.

THE KNI> OF THE OUTRAGE.
Lute yesterday evening \vc tele
graphed to the Atlanta Constitution
for a synopsis of the political situa
tion. The following dispatch was
tecfeivtd after sundown :
Atlanta, Dec. <?, 3576.
The Florida hoard finished the
count at 3 \. M.. to-day, ui.J gave
£124 majority for Hayes and Wneeler.
Judge Cocke protested against tin
count.
In South Carolina the Haropton
itfts have secured t>3 members of the
house which constitutes a quorum,
this quorum <dru 11 1 is pledged to rec
ognize. These sixty three member
in.id certificates from the secretary
of .State’ Hkmphill.
Thus it will be seen that the pur
poses of the internal and danmabl
Radical party have been cot summa
twl so far as their returning board
can accomplish the infamy. If these
is any grit in the Northern JDeui u-ra
cy let them show it now it tier
are true to civil liberty and fret* gov
ernment and the cause of common
justice they will find a solid S >uth t<*
stand by them. It not, public liberty
in this country has become extinct.
That is'all we have to sty just now,
Murat lialsted telegraphs to the
New York Herald , in which, among
others, lie gives the following as a
reason why Col. Lamar persisted in
refusing to call upon Gov. Hayes.
Col. Lamar said: “Neither I nor
Hayes could have anything bearing
directly upon the public business to
say to each other, and while a talk
would be agreeable, there could be
no importance in it equal to the no
toriety it would probably have.”
The Chronicle and Sentinel, in
speaking of the Senatorship, says
Governor Smith “naturally feeis that
he has some claim upon the people oi
Georgia.” We do not see where the
claim comes in. We don’t think
any man has any claim for office of
} any sort. If a man is capable oi
holding an office, and the people de
sire his services therein, it is simply
his patriotic duty to serve
them. No man has a patent right
to office.
The second number of the Empire ,
published at New Orleans says,
what this country now requires is
an emperor,” and asks: Has Grant
‘lie nerve, the intellect and the coin
age equal to the crisis and to fill the
public need?” It concludes, “if he
lias, two hundred thousand Southern
men, trained to arms and devoted to
their country, will assemble unrjer
his standard and uphold bis sword,
and place upon his brow the imperial
crown. ”
A New York Tribune special says,
allotting to the rule which is asked
from the court directing Mackey to
deliver to Wallace the returns re
ceived by Mackey ; speaker. “It is
| conceded, however, that the court
! will not recognize Mackey’s right to
i the returns and will order him to

If the American people, uf all par
ties, are prepared to submit to a

vote they are in a condition to place
their necks under the yoke of impe
rial tyranny.
Mr. J. H. Lumpkin, of LI >me, is a
