THE EXPRESS. Established in 1857. FRANK P. GRAY, * Kditors T. K. HAN Ill'll Y, ll r*' THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1873. FOR CONGRESS: HON. CEO. N. LESTER, of conn. “If the Convention was to NOMINATE AS GOOD AND PURE A man as Geo. N. Lester, 1 would GROUND ARMS AND RETIRE TO PRI VATE LIFE.”— IK 11. Felton , in 1871. The President has offered Col. Mobsy an important appointment, which he “declined with thanks.” The Republican State Convention of Alabama, met in Montgomery, July 4th, and adjourned without nominating a ticket. The report of the auditor in the suit of the State of Georgia vs. John Jones, late Treasurer, shows a deficit in his accounts of $260,000. Suit is pending against his securies. Hear ing in October. We are in receipt of information from Walker and Chattooga counties to the effect that many changes have occurred from Felton to Lester since the nomination. —■* Floyd is also similarly situated. Let her roll ! The Atlanta Republican, the organ of tlu* Republican party of Georgia, in its last Issue says: “Our sympathies are rather with tiie independent,from the fact that he is outside of his party —we are sorry we cannot say in ad vance of it.” The old adage, that “kites some time venture where eagles dare to prey,” find- its exemplification in the Free Press. Its now going to swallow up the big fish by bringing out some “dots” on the Atlanta Con stitution. General Toombs goes up to Hall county to recuperate and to drink buttermilk.—Constitution. Why will the Constitution contin uously misrepresent the grand old hero? lie never drinks buttermilk. —Atlanta Independent. When Judge Lester arose to speak in Dalton, last Saturday, the people outside clamored for admittance into the already full court house. Judge Lester called out in tones reminding the soldiers present of other days, “close up boys, close up.” The Gainsville Georgian asks, per tinently to the query, who saved Georgia: “Is Georgia saved ?” It goes on to say that Georgia is in good condition now, but her salvation will by no means be complete it indepen dents get the upper hand of the Democrats, which they are trying with all their might to do. We are informed by one who was near the stand that Dr. Felton, in quiet was not preserved, that he would call on his friends to enforce it. The Atlanta Constitution had the above word to read invoke . If this is correct, was not the word en force a strong one under the circum stances. Judge O. A. Lochrane declines to be a candidate for Congress from the Fifth District, as he is impressed with the necessity now existing, more than at any former period of our his tory, for maintaining the strength, unity and power of the Democratic party, as the only hope for the coun try. The Judge in eloquent and tor cible language pleads for harmony and organization. During the late war the Federals had "a way of removing any general who lost a battle. So let it be with ihe people now, and let ns remove every congressman until we can get one who will introduce a bill to re duce the enormous salaries which they are now diawing. In no other way can we get the much needed retrenchment and reform of which the country stands so badly in need. Says the Rome Courier: “Dr. Fel ton made personal charges against Judge Lester at Cartersville, which Lester denounced as false, and dared him to continue to make them. At Dalton, two days afterwards, Dr. Felton failed to repeat them, and half way apologized for making them. Will not Dr. Felton’s frieuds also, cease to repeat these baseless charges privately? If they will make them publicly, they will always be met and refuted. Members of Congress get a salary of j $•3000 a year, mileage and per quisites, which makes the average yearly amount paid to each member seven thousand live hundred dollars. At that rate Dr. Felton will have drawn nearly thirty thousand dollars at the ond of his four years. Rome Courier. Well enough, we should think, and a sufficient reason why he should have withdrawn in favor of Gen. Wofford or some other good Felton Democrat. The “dots” that had been gathered to destroy Lester at Cartersville, ' played out like a fizzling rocket, and j were nipped in the bud. “Slanders j reflect upon those who utter them,” j says the player, and in this particular it is true, for the Cartersville affair has caused public opinion to flutter and rebound in Lester’s favor. Even, according to a witness, Gen. Wofford told Dr. Felton that he had hurt himself badly, and that he was mak- I ing charges that were unfounded, and raising issues that did not exist, -and that if he continued it he would be 1 beaten. Dr. Felton has profited by this timely advice and changed tac ics—but too late. TWEDDLE DEE AND TWEEDLE DIM. j The Felton organs seem to “take on” a good deal because Judge Les ter accepted the office of Commis sioner of Immigration from the Leg islature ten years ago, just as many other good men accepted offices in order to earn a support for their fam ilies after they had l>een stripped of every thing by the raveges of the late war, and that too, from a Democratic Legislature. The independents, how ever, standing ready to make capital out of any handy material, have ab solutely had the unblushing affronte ry to come forward and charge that Judge Lester accepted the above office from a Radical Legislature, when in fact, such a charge is utterly devoid of truth and manufactured from the whole cloth. The Express proposes to carry on this canvass up. on high-toned, honest, truthful prin ciples, but when these independents attempt to manufacture prejudice against the nominee of the cause it represents, we propose to meet it squarely, emphatically, and to con front it with the stern truth which always prevails. Now, let us look into this canard, for justice compels us to call it by no other name. It is one of tho tricks of the opposition, which, when brought to light, will fly into pieces, and disappear like the early dew be fore the rays of the morning sun. From the Journal of the House we see that on the 13th of March, 18(59, Hon. Geo. N. Lester was nominated and elected Home Comissioner of Immigration, he receiving 112 votes, Gen. McLaws 11 votes and Hon. C. W. Howard 37 votes. The Journal then states that the General Assem bly then went into an election for Foreign Commissioner, and it ap pears astonishing to behold, after he had been proclaimed by Hon. W. 11. Felton in his Cartersville speech to be “a grand old patriot,” that Mr. Stephens was a candidate before this “so calk: 1” Radical Legislature, which was in fact a Democratic Leg islature, having, as is shown by the record, a majority of nearly seventy on a joint ballot. Mr. Mark A. Har din, of Bartow, was Clerk of the House at that time and will doubt less bear witness that these facts are correctly stated. Now, when it ap pears that Mr. Stephens, who is so loudly lauded by Dr. Felton and liis supporters as a “grand old towering patriot,” endeavored to get an office at the time mentioned and failed for want of support, and that Geo. N. Lester being the most popular man of the two did receive an ofiiee, is it not time for those blow hards to cease disturbing the air with their unwholesome charges and for news papers of a different pursuasion to desist from the base use of giving currency to reports which are utterly without any foundation whatever ? With this, all the charges that have been trumped up against Judge Les ter have been promptly met and re futed and we now await the entrance of “another horse.” HE NOT DECEIVED. “Floyd,” in the Rome Courier, after speaking of the intrigues of Dr. Felton with the Republicans to carry this district, refers to about twenty five hundred men, claimants against the government, of which the Doctor keeps a list, “and leads them to be lieve that lie can and will attend to and advance their claims.” “In what way,” says Floyd, “can Dr. Felton advance the interests of these claim ants? Their claims are submitted to what is known as the “Claim Com mission,” a regular court, before which the evidence in their respect ive cases are submitted to their attor neys, and Congress and Congressmen have no more to do with it than a i member of the Georgia legislature. Dr. Felton might as well say to every litigant in Floyd Superior Court that he would Jsee to their cases—one is just as plausible as the other. Onother trick of the Doctor is, that i as soon as a claim is allowed by the Commissioner lie writes the claimant that if he desires him, he will see to getting the money, and forward it to him. Dr. Felton could watch the collection of a debt by any lawyer in Rome and write that lawyer’s client that if he desired, lie would collect the amount due on the judgment and forward it to him, with as much fair ness. Now, if Dr. Felton had done this through ignorance, it would have been a different thing, but he did it with a full knowledge of the fraud he was practicing on these claimants, and knew if when he wrote their names down in a book, which lie has to-day, evei-y one of whom in this canvass will be inter viewed by the Doctor and assured of his fidelity to them and their claims. It is a species of demagogueism that we hope Judge Lester will ventilate, so that when he reaches Congress, which lie is certain to do, those claimants will not expect of him that which he is unable to perform, and that does not come before Congress.’> Lester is not honest according to Dr. Felton’s showing, whereupon the Marietta Journal,pulished where he lives says : Lester not honest! Why Doctor you can’t make the people of Cobb county believe it. Let us tell you a , iittle incident. Poverty striben as Lester has been since the war, he voluntarily paid a prominent mer chant of Marrietta, (whose name we j will give to any one who wants it,) the sum of Twelve Hundred Dol lars in cash, on an old war debt, on a note ut of date, and no law to col lect it. This merchant says the pay ment of that money at that particular time saved him from ruin. That one act will do to put against ali of Fel ton’s charges- This prominent mer chant in both campaigns, has been an ardant supporter of Felton, but this time he is for lie nest George N. ‘ Lester who believes he will be { elected. JU - - j IIOW NOW. Why the poor, deluded negroes,M as Dr. Felton calls them, went to the t Ringgold convention : Personally appeared before the un dersigned, llaynes Milner, Fills Pat erson, W. H. Miller and Peter Guth rie, who, being eluly sworn, dej>ose j and say, that theyjarethe colored men j , who attended the Ringgold con v mi- j | (ion, and that they did not attend ; j said convention as delegates, nor has | any man tried to make them believe they were delegates to said conven- 1 tion. But they attended as private citizens, and were merely spectators. | Deponents further swear, that they j attended said convention at their own j instance and of their own free will | and accord, without the solicitation of any one, and chose their own time j and manner of going. Deponents j further swear that they attended said ; convention fur the purpose of ascer taining for themselves whether the j charges made against conventions by ! Dr. Felton as to their unfairness and trickery were true or not. And de ponents further say, that they arc satisfied that all the charges as to unfairness and trickery are utterly untrue and without any foundation whatever, Haynes Milner, Ellis Paterson, W. 11. Miller. Sworn to and subscribed before me, this July 22;1, 1878. J. W. Pritchett, N. P. & J. P. Bartow co., Ga- The tramp nuisance is becoming in tolerable in the West. They are com mitting depredation upon personsand property. One instance many occur j red at Beloit, Wisconsin last Wednes day, where two hundred of them captured two freight trains going South. At Madison a company of militia and a large body of citizens ! met them,and after a fight in the driv ing rain storm captured forty-seven of the tramps. They were sentenced to ninety days’ work at breaking stones for the streets. They say that fully five thousand tramps will enter the State at Beloit for an organized incursion through Wisconoin,and dis patches from Beloit say that the rail roads all the way to Davenport and Council Bluffs are lined with tramps under shelter from the storm. The newspapers all over the State, which helped to free Georgia from tho corruption of Bullock and his Re publican party, are calling to the peo ple of the Seventh District to fall into line again. Will ’tlie people heed the cries and warnings of these sentinels upon the watch towers? They have fought these battles before and know the importance of presenting a solid front to the enemy, instead of permit ting them to break through and de spoil. The Seventh is weak place in our lines. The heated term of the last week has proved very disastrous in the North ern cities. In St. Louis there were one hundred and fifty cases of sun strokes in one day and fifty-four deaths includin'’- ivirtf nf nil phases, uuioracing men, women and chil uren. Business is completely prostra ted and the mortality among children is great. A COMPLIMENT TO THE EXPRESS. cartersville, Ga., July 18. Editors Express: —On behalf of a goodly number of your readers, per mit me to congratulate you upon the very handsome appearance of your paper. It is ably edited; is tilled with the latest news from all sections, and is delivered from that fierce vindictiveness and other pecu liarities that characterize so many of the political organs of to-day. Allow me to say a few kind words in your behalf: Many of us expected to see a paper dyed in bitterness, but have been agreeably surprised to find j its editorials marked with a conserv ative, dignified tone, and upon the whole, that the whole paper is reada ble throughout, and a credit to our city and county. See to it that you continue in the line you have marked out, and the people of old Bartow will prove to you that they appreci ciate a paper worthy of their support. A Reader. Dr. Felton stated in his Cartersville | speech “that he had not charged Judge Lester with one single thing ' that he could not substantiate.” May we not expect, therefore, that he will substantiate his charge that Lester did make a speech in Spring Place, Murray county, for Coles against Young and his assertion, “oh ye?! point one circular and pock et SIOO on the strength of it.” Can he substantiate these charges. We pause for the proof but incline to the ! opinion that it has gone the way of Ward’s ducks, Speaker Randall sent to the cdiior jcf the Oneonta (Pa.) Herald this ' Fourth of July sentiment: “When the iron rule of stern necessity dark ens every household in the land, ex travagance on the part of tire people’s ' servants is an unpardonable crime.” And yet it is no where recorded that any Congressman, all of whom re ceive $416 per month, ever introduced a bill to reduce this enormous salary in conformity to the times. Toil ing countrymen, when you go to vote, think of this. * * - Let the people where buy no more pigs in the bag, but let every candidate for Congress state what he is going to do if the people elect him. And now it has been suggested that if Dr. Felton will name all the candidates for whom he has voted for Congress since the war, that a missing link might possibly be de tected. Tne Rome Courier is of the opin. ion that when Judge Lester’s friends assert that he will beat Dr, Felton in November, it would be well for them, for the sake of prudence and safely always to add : Provided , Dr. Felton don’t fly the track. A CARD FROM JUDGE LESTER Since I became a candidate for Congress I have received piles of let ters trom friends in every part of this district, and many from friends outside of the district. These letters contain words of congratulation, tn , coaraguneut and cheer, for which j lam profoundly grateful. Many of them also convey to me valuable sug- I gestions and useful information, for | which I am truly obliged to the writers. lam answering these let | tersjust as rapidly as I can, but my I time, thus far, has been so much oc i cupied that mauy of them are still un answered. All shall be attended to as soon as lam able. I shall be glad for my friends to continue to write me, and give me all such information aid make to me such suggestions as they may think will be useful to me in the pending canvass. Such favors will be most gratefully appre ciated. I trust that the newspapers of the district will give this card a place in their columns, and cali attention to the same. Respectfully, Geo. N. Lestziu In his speech at Cartersville, Dr. j Felton accused Lester of speculating on Lis wounds—ol baring his scared breast to the public and asking that he be paid a price for it—of holding the stump of his arm up before a Legislature and asking that he be rewarded with au office. And iu speaking of Lester’s printing circu lars while Immigration Commission er, he said : “Oh yes ! point one cir cular and pocket SIOO on the strength of it.’’ And further, Dr. Felton said “he had notthing to explain or modify.” Querry : Why did he not mention this at Dalton alter Lester had refuted the Cole charge by cer tificates from many of the best men in the State and has he nothing now to explain or modify. We pause for a reply. Per affidavits in another column, it will be seen that another lofty tumbling has taken place in the magnificant political posturing which the independents have been practi cing. It now' turns out, a3 will be seen, that Bartow sent no colored delegates to the Ringgold conven tion and that the report to that effect ground through the manufacturing machine expressly arranged for the purpose, will not stand the warranty not to rip, ravel or tear in the eye. The rents already visible to a discorn ing gives full evidence that it will not manufacture anything that will stand test against that grand old patriot and soldier Geo. N. Lester.’ The Legislature that elected Geo. N. Lester as an Immigration Com missioner was composed in the House of 29 Republicans and 61 Democrats, and yet the Cartersville Free Press says that this body was “the alpha and ornega of bribery and stealing and the embody ment of all that is vile.” And it further says “that the fraudulent act passed by it was se cured by the internal use of gold.” Is this not enough to make the Gl patriots who stood by our people in the stiring time's of 1869 turn in their graves. The press all over the State, as well as the people, is turning its attention to the contest now going on in the where are speaking out hopetfulfy and the iriends of the South are confident ly relying upon a victory for the reg ular Democracy in November. It was a singular freak of the fore man of an exchange that caused him to place some advertisements in the following order in the “new adver tisement” column, first a physicians card, second an undertakers and third a lawyers. Very suggestive, this. The present hot weather and the danger of sun stroke has called fourth an article from the Board of Health of Atlanta. They recommend during the continuence of the heated term, an abstinence from stimulating drinks and an easily digested diet together with all things which will disturb the sanguiferous system. Should any one be attaked by sun stroke, or be otherwise seriously ef fected by the prevailing heat, they recommend the following: “Loosen everything about the neck, lay him on his back with the head moderate ly raised, and pour cold water (iced) on his arms below the elbow to fin gers, and on the legs below the knees to and over the feet. Keep this up for several minutes, and it will effec tually cool the blood. A cloth wet in cold water may be passed over the face occasionally, and will be refreshing. But do not apply cold w ater to the head or body, and do not give cold drinks of any kind. The above treatment will cool the blood without interfering at all with its proper distribution in the body, which iced drinks, etc., will do. When a person is prostrated by heat do not, under any circumstan ces, allow him to take any kind of opiate.” It is also recommended that persons who labor in the sun should constantly carry a large fresh leaf in the hat and change it often. There has been an actual contrac tion of the currency since the war of over $1,230,000,000, leaving the pres ent circulation at only $477,000,000. Can it be wondered at, with such a showing as the above, that there is a scarcity of money in the country, and so universal a feeling of distress among all classes of people and in all commercial circles? The Republi can party is responsible for this, and the Democratic party stands arrayed against it. What will you vote for, reader. The one or the other must conquer, and not the independents who are not known in this struggle of the people against the money lords, national banks and bond holders. George N. Lester, in this race, is the great “Ten Brock,” that will distance “Moilie McCarthy”-Fels ton in a four months heat, and then have time to rest.

GRAND JUST PRESENTMENTS. Second Week July Term Bftltow Superior Court. We, the Grand Jury, ehosen and sworn lor j the second week Bartow Superior Court, July > term 1878, make the following presentments: ! That the Jury of the first week having ex amined the books of most of the County offi cers, we deem it unnecessary to go over their work wherever approved. Wc approve the manner in which the dock ets of W. T. Gordon and Jas. 11. Williams are kept, The Tax Receiver’s books has not been be fore us, and we have not been able to give the matter of Assessment the attention we had hoped to. After a careful investigation of the manage ment of l’auper Farm, we find inmates properly cared for, and concur with Jury of first week in regard to cultivation and condition of Farm. The surroundings indicate good attention and faithful discharge of duty on the part of the Superintendent; nothing to complain of. much to commend. Inasmuch as some complaint and dissatisfaction has been expressed by some ol our citizens, we would be pleased if those who are not acquainted with the institution, its condition and working, would visit the same and inform themselves. By order of the County Treasurer, the Commissioners have paid for maintainauce ot Paupers from Ist of January, 1878, to Ist of July, 1378, the sum of $4116,39. Value of supples on hand .anuary Ist, 1878, $92.80. Less amont on hand. July Ist $51.50. Physician's salary to July Ist, $37.50. Total cost from January Ist, toJulylsb, ISIS, $574.69, The last quarter salary of the Super intendent has not been paid, and is included in the foregoing statement. The books of the Superintendent shows $20,50 in excess of the t ommissioners books, and is properly ac counted for by some small bills, not haviug been presented for orders. Said books are cor rectly kept. We do not concur with Jury of Hirst week in recommending the sale of the Pauper Farm, but thiuk it should be kept in the best condition practicable until it can be sold to advantage; that the County cultivate so much as the inmates and Superintendent can work well, hiring no outside labor, and reduc ing the stock and expenses to the absolute ne cessity of (he Paupers and the pay of the Su perintendent.. Being convinced that it will not pay to hire labor and cultivate the Farm, we suggest that us much of it as suits the growing of grass and small grain, be sown with a view to carrying out the above recom mendation. We think the Superintendent should be a bonded officer. We recommend that the Commissioners visit the farm more frequently to advise the Superindent and for the satisfaction ol the inmates. We approve the condition of the jail. The Jury rooms should have chair boards and racks for hats and overcoats. The roads of the County are generally in good condition, but it would be too tedious to mention the numerous places where mil© posts and sign boards arc wanting. We recoai commend that the Commissioners urge the Pis triet Commissioners to faithful compliance with the law in this regard. The bridge across Little Pine Log, at the Glade should bere paired--provided it can be done for less than one hundred dollars, We concur with jury of first week in recommending the repairing of the bridge across Pettits creek at Ladd’s Lime Kiln and the one across Two Run at Kingston, and also find the bidders warranty on each has not run out, and the Commission, ers know llieir duty. The bridge across Pet tits creeks, at Baxter’s should be repaired as it is in an unsafe condition. Previous Grand Juries having recommended that building of certain bridges over Etowah River and Oothaloga creek, and a large num ber of citizens praying that such bridges are not demanded by the necessities of travel, we suggest that such bridges be not built. We bear with pleasure that his Honor, the presiding Judge is determined to continue the criminal docket till the jail is cleared, thus showing his real concern for tin expenses ol ourcouniy. We thank him and the Solicitor General and all the Officers of Court for uni form courtesy to our body. We recommend that tuese presentments be published in both papers of this county, provided each will do it for half the usual rates. Erastus V. Jonxsox. Foreman John W.
