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? s. w. s. New Advertisements. EORGIA, BARTOW COUNTY.—Whereas, \7T John H.
