The Cartcrsville Express,
Friday, January 30, 1880.
~The Sparta Ishmaelite , a highly
respected paper, has a3 its motto this
paraphrase from holy writ: “And
his hand shall be against every hum
bug, and every humbug’s hand shall
be against him.” This is the tone of
a martyr’s prophecy.
—ln our last week’s issue we gave
as our understanding that Mr. Sim
mons was a member of the Northern
Methodist church. We are since in
formed that that is a mistake ; thßt
he belongs to the Southern Methodist
church. We make this correction in
justice both to Mr. Simmons and to
the Northern Methodist church.
—The railroad muddle Is still ob
scene. No issue has yet been reached.
Nobody knows what it all means and
when it will all end. It is of no in-
terest to the general reader, and we
Will not burden our columns with
the wild and faneifal vagaries of a
newspaper reporter’s fancies. The
Constitution has sent Henry Grady
up to Louisville to write up the rail
roads. Daily does “11. W. G.” ap
pear in the columns of that paper
with a most interesting story which
might be termed “the romance of a
railroad.” Our readers, when they
see this, will be reminded of “11. W.
G.’s” Florida stories which created
such a furor of excitement, at the
time they appeared, until it w*as
discovered they were only romances.
Anything which Grady writes is
interesting—indeed, charming—and
it is a pity that he has a reputation
for contemning facts, as beneath the
notice of a newspaper man.
—We publish this week an open
letter from Dr. Felton to the people
of the Seventh congressional district
of Georgia, in reference to his advo
cacy of Simmons’s claims to the posi
tion of census supervisor. We make
no comment upon the letter. Our
readers can interpretit as they please.
We hear much criticism, wise and
otherwise, passed upon the letter.
We wish our readers to persue it
calmly and dispassionately, and to
remember at the same time the ar
ticle in our last week’s issue, headed
“A Rich Document.” We presume
that the people of this district are
capable of forming a correct opinion
in regard to the whole transaction,
without any comment from us. We
re-produco the letter, not at the re
quest of either Dr. Felton’s friends
or foes; but merely as a matter of
news to the people. We also re
produce what Sam Small has to say
about the matter, presenting both
sides at the same time.
THE “EMORY MIRROR.”
We have received —not editorially,
however, and consequently what we
here say is not in the nature of the
usual newspaper puff--a copy of the
Emory Mirror, an eight page month
ly gotten up by the students of Emo
ry College. Our old heart-warm
friend, Henry Howren, “delivers the
salutatory,” as we used to say in col
lege. The article is free, graceful aud
feeling, and it did our heart good to
read j* The paper, as a whole, is
creditable in the highest degree.
The young gentlemen who conduct
it are known by us to be able and
courageous; therefore we shall ex.
pect nothing but success for the Mir
ror. Alumni of Emory will have
therein an opportunity of keeping up
with old college associates and the
doings of their Alma Mater. We
have perused with intense interest
this youthful effort. It is just what
Emory needs and will doubtless be a
source of both pleasure and profit to
both w r riter and reader. We wish
the paper success.
“MANCH.”
We aro glad to note that Mrs. Mary
E. Bryan, well known to our Geor
gia people as a writer of considera
ble reputation and still more promise,
Has written anew book with the
above title. We have not seen a
copy of “Manch,” and therefore can
not give an idea as to the real merit
of the work. We should esteem it a
pleasure to read a work which is so
well recommended in the name of its
authoress, and trust that we may
soon have an opportunity of so do
ing.
We take this occasion to remark
that it is a good sign for our country
when its women are beginning to
take an interest in its literature.
The south is poor in literature.
While our men work, it would be a
good idea for our women to write.
Wo have often seen women who
could not only win fame lor them
selves, but honor their country, by
discovering this hidden talent within
them. We have in our mind one
young lady in our own county whose
native ability, aided by a good edu
cation, would seem to prophesy a
distinguished future. She talks well;
she reads much ; and what is rarer
still, she appears to think ; and yet
we never see anything from her pen.
We mention this woman merely as
an instance. There are hundreds
such—diamonds whose brilliancy
will be praised, because never
discovered. We always thought it
selfish to hide such talent. Ifovv
much nobler, how much more sub
lime, it is to use this intellect—“the
likest God within the soul”—in be
half of les3 fortunate fellows ! Wo
|man, take the napkin from around
"that buried talent, and let men see
What a treasure you have.
A CORRECTION.
In its issue of yesterday, the Free
Press contained the following:
In speaking of Rev, T. J. Sim
mons, in its last issue, the Extress
said that “he was tried by the church
for the alleged seduction of his niece
and came within one vote of being
expelled for that crime.”
The Free Press garbled the quota
tion. It gave only a part ot one sen
tence. We did not then, nor do we
now, state as a fact what was mis
quoted by our neighbor. We dis
tinctly said : “It is said that he was
tried by the church for the alleged
seduction of his niece and came with
in one vote of being expelled for that
crime.” We merely stated a rumor
for the truth of which we did not
then, nor do we now, vouch. We
call attention to the words by which
the sentence is prefaced, and ask any
fair-minded man if we are not mis
represented in the Free Press. Of the
truth of this rumor, we knoiv abso
utely nothing. We only know that
w 7 e heard it. In this connection we
submit that we have acted fairly in
this Simmons appointment affair.
We have given both sides a hearing
in our columns. We have eveD gone
so far as to publish Dr. Felton’s let
ter in defense of his course, without a
request from either him or his
friends. We do it merely as a mat
ter of news, and not as partizan of
any man or set of men.
JURY RIGIDNESS.
We aro pleased with the temper of
the juries at this term of court. If
we mistake not, every arraigned de
fendant has been convicted. We in
fer that they deserved the verdicts.
Juries, we believe, seldom make a
mistake in favor of the State. It is
possible—indeed, highly probable—
that they some times convict an in
nocent man, but such cases are ex
tremely rare and far less than those
instances in which guilty men es
cape. All the advantages are given
by the law, in its humanity, to the
accused; and juries must, before con
victing, be satisfied with their verdict
“beyond a reasonable doubt.” When
we take into consideration the proba
bilities of an impossibility in dis
covering the whole truth, and the
possibilities of procuring false testi
mony, we see at once the many ave j
nues of escape open to the guilty.
True, this may some times cut the
other way. But it will be seen at
once that in proportion as the zeal
displayed in defense generally sur
passes that exhibited in prosecution,
in that proportion will these unavoid
able defects in criminal trials inure
to the advantage of the accused.
Guilt, when aided by ability, is ex
tremely hard to punish.
It is in view of these palpable
truths that we record with pleasure
the fact that Bartow juries are be
coming stricter m meir administra
tion of the law. They are beginning
to see that mercy to the people de
mands justice to the quilty. We have
had enough crime. Our own imme
diate section has been afflicted in that
way. We believe that in the last
year nearly, if not quite, half dozen
homicides have occurred in Bartow
county. Not all these homicides
were murders. Probably some of
them were committed in self-defense.
But did not lawlessness make self
defense necessary? In eveiy act of
violence there is crime somewhere,
and some body is guilty.
These deeds of darkness are not
confined to our own section of coun
try, nor to the South, They occur
just as frequently in other parts of
the country. We think that the cir
cumstances by which we have, in the
last two decades, been surrounded,
palliate, if they do not excuse, these
crimes.
But they must be stopped. Our
political interests demand it. Our
financial interests demand it. Our
social and moral interests demand it.
There is no way to end lawlessness
except by a rigid execution of the
law. That, in criminal cases, is the
peculiar province of the jury, and in
the jury-box rests the ultimate hope
of the country. The jury-box has
been called the palladium of our lib
erties. Lot it be so; but in order to
execute its legitimate object, the jury
box must be purged of that cruel
mercy which is alike foolish in its
origin and disastrous in its effect.
THE CENSUS SUPERVISOR.
Dv. Felton’s Explanation of His Agency
in tlie Appointment.
Washington City, I). C.,
January 22, ISSO.
To the Citizens of the Seventh Congres
sisnal District of Georgia:
It is proper that 1 should give you an
exact account of my agency iu the ap
pointment of Rev. T. J. Simmons, to the
oliicc of supervisor of census in the first
census district of Georgia.
There were eight applicants for this po
sition from the Seventh congressional dis
trict-three democrats and five republi
cans, who applied to me for a recommen
dation.
I gave each and every one a recommen
dation as to fitness and qualification, as
requested, and sent it on as promptly as
they desired, without delay on my part.
I felt that the seventh district was en
titled to this appointment, because every
one of the fourteen counties was included
in the first census district. When I saw
General Walker at the beginning of this
session, 1 placed every name before him
and called attention to their strong en
dorsements.
I requested particular attention to the
name of Rev. T. E. Smith, pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Cartersville, Ga.,
setting forth his rare scholarship and lit
erary attainments, as well as his sterling
integrity. 1 pressed him as an indepen
dent democrat, and used every argument
to aid this good man with a small salary
and a large family. General Walker
►heard me patiently and kindly, and told
me it was entirely necessary that the su
pervisor should live in some central po
sition within reach of daily mail and rail
road facilities.
This proviso made several of the appli
cants unavailable.
Meeting Mr. Speer, the member from
the 9th, in his office, a few days before the
nominations were sent in, I asked the di
rect question: “Who do you intend to ap
point in our district!'’ He promptly re
plied, “I expect to appoint W, 11.
Smytlie, of Atlanta, ex-marshal of Geor
gia. He took the census before, and he
is my choice.”
Believing Mr. Smytlie to be very ob
jectionable to the people I represent in
Congress I earnestly protested against
this appointment. I appealed to the
President, also, to relieve North Georgia
of Mr. smytlie, because of his great un
popularity while marshal of the State.
Believing Mr. Simmon3 to be a con
servative republican—disconnected with
partisan politics —a warm friend and ad
mirer of President Ilayes—a farmer—a
Georgian by birth—weil-connected and
well respected tn the community where
lie resides —endorsed by Hon. Dawson A.
Walker and other good men in the re
publican party, I placed his name before
the President as a man much better suited
to our interests and our personal feelings
than Mr. Smytlie.
I was satisfied that be would deal fair
ly and honestly in bis appointments—
would be faithful to his duties—and
would be generous to my friends and to
the friends of Hon. Emory Speer in ap
pointing enumerators. Between Mr.
Simmons and Mr. Smytlie I had no hes
itation in selecting the former—l did all
I conld for him that was honorable and
JUSt.
General Walker intimated to me that it
was liis purpose to appoint a repulican in
this first census district, w hich statement
he authorized me to use in public, if it
was necessary, and refer to him for the
truth of it.
A copy of the Atlanta Constitution has
just reached me this morning, containing
a couple of letters purporting to be let
ters from Mr. Simmons and myself. I
went to the Interior department, and re
quested copies of the letters from which
they were taken, by a party whose name
I will give further on.
The letter of Mr. Simmons I never saw
before in my life, knew not a word of its
contents; it was written in Georgia while
I was in this city last spring, and 1 had
no knowledge that Mr. Simmons had
ever written to the President, until he
applied to me for a letter of recommenda
tion in September last, which I wrote in
his presence. In concluding this letter,
Mr. Simmons requested me to call, the
President’s attention to his application
which he thought had been overlooked;
and especially desired me to ask the Pres
ident to read* it again. My letter was
marked private, only to secure the Presi
dent’s personal attention, and he did not
consider it a confidential letter and there
fore placed it in the public files, which
he told me himself yesterday, when I laid
both letters before him for examination.
The President says he neve.i saw that
letter of Simmons’ until I carried it to
him on yesterday.. General Walker de
clares he never saw it.
Therefore, it had no influence what
ever, on his appointment. I have al
ready repeated that I saw it for the first
time in the files of the interior depart
ment on yesterday, and when I called at
tention to the letter by Mr. Simmons’
request, I believed it to be only an appli
cation in usual form for the place.
If my devotion to the South and to
Southern men, as illustrated in my po
litical record and my course during the
late civil war, is not a sufficient guarantee
for my fidelity to their interests, I cannot
suppose that a letter written in Georgia
while I was in Washington, and which I
never saw until yesterday, can, in any
way, connect me with its sentiments.
It is necessary, also, that I should ex
plain to you the publication of those let
ters In the Atlanta Constitution, and give
the name of the person to whose atten
tion and manipulation I am indebted for
that publication.
The assistant secretary of the interior
department, and Mr. James F. Hood, a
clerk, gave me the facts, which I pro
ceed to place before you: Mr. Hood states
that Gen. Gordon came into his office and
asked to examine these papers. He then
stated he would take them into the as
sistants secretary’s room, which he did.
He was alone until he left the secretary’s
room, where he was joined by some man
who was unknown to the assistant secre
tary, but he (Gordon) returned alone to
Mr. Hood’s room.
Gen. Gordon did not say to either offi
cial that he intended to do this work;
and I leave the plain facts to your con
sideration and impartial judgment.
It is proper to say that during all this
contest Hon. Mr. Speer was pressing our
mutual friend, Col. P. F. Lawshe, of
Gainesville, but was greatly surprised to
learn that Gen. Gordon protested against
the appointment, and would consider that
appointment a personal insult. General
Walker told me that the senator strongly
protested in the case. )So we see very
clearly that the only democrat wiio was
favorably considered, was probably de
feated by the personal hostility of Senator
Gordon to the independents of the State
of Georgia. The General will, no doubt,
oppose the confirmation of any man,
democrat or republican, who will not
submit to his peculiar dictation. For
such methods as he uses in his warfare,
he has nn full permission to exercise
against me. If the senate of the United
States can stand the effect I shall not
complain.
The senator announces that he will
fight Mr. Simmons because of his re
publican partisanship. While this dis
tinguished statesman was nosing about in
the Interior department, to find my en
dorsement of a republican, why did he
overlook his own strongly written en
dorsement of Mr. Charles R. Johnson,
who was nominated as an active and pro
nounced republican ?
So it appears that republicans who live
in the seventh congressional district, that
are friendly to me, are to he defeated in
the senate, because of their partisanship,
while others, outside that district, can
receive the strongly written endoisement
and support of this democratic senator,
who stoops to indulge his personal pre
judice in this elevated position.
Very truly, your obedient servant,
W. H. Fjelton.
[Speciiil dispatch to Tlie Constitution.j
Washington, January 27.—With
reference to Dr, Feiton’s printed cir
cular of explanation of the Simmon’s
affair, permit me to say :
First. Dr. Felton now endorses
Simmons after seeing the letter, if
not before, if he repudiates the sen
timents of Simmons’s letter, why
does he now urge the confirmation of
Simmons ?
Second. According to Dr. Felton’s
circular, Simmons was af pointed
without Hayes, Schurz or Walker
seeing his letter of application. Then
why was he appointed? If Felton’s
circular is true, he was appointed on
his endorsement solely,
Third. General Gordon had no
agency in sending the letters to the
Constitution. I am responsible as a
matter of news. General Gordon in
terests himself in senate affairs; 1
with my paper. The attempt of Dr.
Felton to shift the issue is too thin.
Fourth. Either Simmons’s name
must be withdrawn or he will be
def; ated. Dr. Felton abuses the Con
stitution as a lying sheet; but ask him
if we have lied about this matter.
He can’t get away from it.
Fiith. What do the people think of
Dr. Felton’s confession that Rev. T.
E. Smith and Simmons are to divide
the office profits in the face of the
Georgia law that such an arrange
ment is corrupt, although not pro
hibited by the revised statutes.
Sixth. The patronage of Fulton,
DeKalb and Milton is hereby con
trolled by Felton and. Speer. Our
member was not consulted, so far as
heard from. Dr. Felton says that
Fulton must have one-half the re
publican enumerators.
Seventh, General Gordon indorsed
Mr. Johnson, of Griffin, as a republi
can only ; Dr. Felton indorses Sim
mons as a conservative and inde
pendent. Johnson does not speak of
“corrupt secession traitors.” Sim
mons volunteers his desire to gain a
victory ever such. Does Dr. Felton
desire a victory over the same by
seeking Simmons’s confirmation?

REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA.&c,
Case of Colonel J. C. Branson.
Kingston, Ga., September 15,1871.
GENTS:—For 18 years I have been a great suf
ferer irom Scrofula in its most distressing
forms. 1 have been confined to my room and
bed for 15 years with scrofulous ulcerations.
The most approved remedies for such cases hud
been used, and the most eminent physicians
consulted, without any decided benefit. Thus
prostrated, distressed, desponding. I was ud
viseu by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd county, Ga., to
commence the use 01 your Com pound Extract
rttillingja. Language is as insufficient to de
scribe the relief I obtained from th use of lhe
Stilliugia as it is to convey an adequate idea 01
the intensity of mv suffering before using vour
medicine; sufficient to say, 1 abandoned all
other remedies and continued the use o’ your
Extract Oi Stillingia, until I can say truly, “i
am cured of all disease, with nothing to 00-
struct the active pursuit of m.v profession.
More than eight months huvo elapsed since
this remarkable cure, without any return of
the dise ise.
For the truth of the aoove statement, I refer
to any gentleman in Bartow conn tv, Ga., and
to the members of the ,ar of Cherokee Circuit,
who are acquainted with me. I shall ever re
main, with the deepest gratitude, Your obedi
ent servant,
J. C. BRANSON, Att’y at Law.
A MIRACLE.
Gents:— My daughter w s taken on the 25th
day ol June, 1803, with what was supposed to
be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated tor the
same with no success. In March, lollowinsr,
pieces ot bone began to work out ol the right
arm, and continued to appear till all the
bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came
out. Many pieces ol' bone came out of the
right loot and leg. The case was then pro
nounced one of White Swelling. After hav
ing been confined about six years to her bed,
and the case considered hopeless, I was in
duced to try Dr. Pemberton’s Compound Ex
tract of Stillingia, and was so well satislied
with its effects that i have continued use of the
it until the present.
My daughter was confined to her bed about
six years before she sat up or even turned over
without help. She now' sits up all day, and
sews most ol her time—has walked across the
room. Her general health is now good, and I
believe she will, as her limbs gain strength,
walk well. 1 attribute her recovery, with the
blessing of God, to the use of your invaluable
medicine. With gratitude, I am, vonrs truly,
W. B. BLAN ION.
