GRANT’S INNUENDOES and CON
CLUSIONS ABOUT HANCOCK
PROVEN FALSE.
New York, October, 13.—The
1/era Id contains an interview with a
prominent army officer, reviewing
the alleged interview with General
Grant and the preacher Fowler. This
officer says:
“It is charged that General Han**
cock, having received a vote in 1864
in the Chicago convention, for presi
dent, became crazy to be president:
that he is ambitious, vain and weak,
and can be easily controlled. In the
first place the official records of that
convention, which I have recently
carfully examined, show that Gener
al Hancock did not receive a single
vote, and therefore the allegation of
his having the ‘bee in his bonnet’
aud becoming crazy on account of re-
ceiving a vote in 1864 is the sheerest
nonsense. In 1868, General Hancock
received, at the democratic convene
tiou, 1444 votes; but General Grant
received more votes at the republi
can convention of the same year, and
was nominated, although there was
no reason to suppose that the ‘bee’
was more in General Hancock’s bon
net than in General Grant’s bonnet.
But in these papers all the charges of
dereliction of duty on the part of
General Hancock are attributed to
this one vote which he is said to
have received, but did not receive in
1864, which derelictions were the
cause of his having become crazy on
the subject of the presidency, and all
of w hich occurred prior to 1868, when
he received the 1444 votes mention
ed.
“It is also charged that on account
of this one voto General Hancock
evinced bad temper toward General
Grant and would hardly speak to
him, and all on account of his having
become so crazed because he received
this one vote; but it is a wellknown
fact that General Hancock aud Gen
eral Grant w T ere on terms of friend
ship until April, 1868, when Gen.
Hancock returned from New Or
leans, at which time Gen. Hancock
ciici snow coiciness io eterf. Grant on
reaching Washington, though pay
ing him proper official deference —
this and nothing more. Subsequent
to his return to Washington, in 18 67,
from New Orleans, the yellow fever
broke out in the latter city in viru
lent form, and after having been re
lieved by General Sheridan at Fort
Leavenworth he went to St. Louis,
and from there was ordered to Wash
ington to report to President John
son, and detained till fro3t appeared
in the south. Under the reconstruc
tion law all the offices in New Or
leans had been filled before he got
there. He made no removals except
or cause, and very few at that. He
did not remove *the levee board of
commissioners, who had the dis
bursement of $4,000,000 of levee
bonds. The only change he made
was appointing Mr. Gay, of St,
Louis, a well-known planter of Lou
isiana, to fill a vacancy. Ho had
nothing whatever to do with the dis
bursement of the levee bonds.
After the issue of general order
No. 40 Governor Pease, of Texas,
through influence emanating from
Washington, wrote an open letter to
General Hancock, the primary ob
ject of which was to effect General
Hnncock’s removal. General Han
cock was then in Texas, and while
there wa=r furthermore notified that
the common council of NeW Orleans
ha I put in operation a scheme look
ing to the same result.
Hancock wrote a reply to Gov£ffl',Qr
Pease’s letter, the purport of which
is well known. When General
Hancock found that he had accom
plished all that under the circum
stances he could hope to do, and that
President Johnson had been steorp of
his power in reference to appoint
ments to office in reeooßtrqcted Btfiep,
and that this power had been given
to General Grant in defiance of the
constitution, he felt it incumbent on
himself to ask to bo relieved.”

THE ARTIC EXPLORERS.
San Francisco, Get. Iff.— The
revenue cutter Corwin, which has
just returned from Cruize in the Arc
tic ocean in search of the Arctic ex
plorers’ steamer Jeanette, reports
that on St. Lawrence island out of
700 inhabitants 500 were found dead
of starvation. Traders had intro
duced liquor among them, causing
them to neglect laying up their usual
supplies of provisions. Officers of the
Corwin express opinions that the
Jeanette wandered on the Liberian
shore, and is now there west of North
Cape. The Corwin could not get far
enough west to verify this belief on
account of ice.
CARTERSVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1880.
HEADQUARTER MANEUVER
INGS.
Addrss of the National Democratic
Committee.
New t York, October 14 —The dem
ocratic national executive committee
is in session this afternoon at the
democratic headquarters. Among
the number present are Senator Bar
num, and Messrs. Scott, of Pennsyl
vania, Smalley, of Vermont, Hewitt,
of New York, Barnes, of Georgia,
and Cleveland, of New Jersey. The
result of the October elections and the
prosecution of the compaign are, it
is understood, the subject under con
sideration.
Governor Wilfz, of Louisiana, and
Daniel Dougherty were also in con
sultation. The situation of the can
vass was discussed in detail and the
following address adopted:
To the democratic and conserva
tive voters of the country: The
election of president and vice-presi
dent is now before you. State and
local dissensions are eliminated from
the issues of the day. The magni
tude of a victory or a defeat can only
be estimated by the source and
means employed in securing it. By
fraud and corruption the people of
the country were defeated in their
purpose in 1876 and the rightfully
elected president was kept from office.
With the combined capital of the
republican party, aided by repeated
assessments upon an array of office
holders; with the power of the fede
ral government by United States
marshals at the polls; with intimida
tion, fraud and a resort to every
corrupt appliance known to republi
can method, concentrated in two
states, our adversaries have succeed
ed in procuring the probable returns
of their local candidates. Gan it be
possible that In every state through
out this broad land the same method
can be brought to bear that were
used by the republican managers in
Indiana and Ohio? Can the great
states of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, California. GqJai’Mq.
bought, intimidated and defrauded ?
Even without the vote of Indiana j
which we believe will be redeemed
in November, with New York and
New Jersey and the states that are
conceded to us, including Maine, the
election of our candidate is assured.
The republican party have put in
nomination for president and vice
president two men who, by the ad
mission of their own party and press,
are unworthy of your confidence and
your suffrages. It is impossible that
fifty millions of intelligent and patri
otic people will consent to place
themselves upon the humiliating
level thus prepared for them by the
republican managfrs.
Fellow-ciiizens, the first day’s re
pulse at Gettysburg ended on the
third, with Hancock in front in a
glorious victory. That victory se
cured us our union. The question is
not now the preservation of the
union, but of constitutional govern
ment. Hancock is now, a3 thefi, in
front. The repulse is now as then,
an omen of the victory which will
secure to coming generations the in
estimable blessing of civil liberty.
By order of the national democrat
ic committee.

EATING LEMONS.
The Wilmington liwiew says:
‘‘A good deal has been said through
the papers recently about the health
fulness of lemons. The latest advice
as to how to use them so they wi'i
do the most good rifbs as follows:
Most people know the benefit of lem
onade before breakfast, but few
know how it is more than doubled
by taking another at night also. The
way to get the better of a billious
system without blue pills or quinine,
is to take the juice of one, two or
three letaons, as the appetite craves,
.in as much ice water as makes it
pleasant to drink, without sugar, be
fore going to bed, In the morning
on rising, or at least half an hour be
fore break fast, take the juice one lem
on in a goblet of water. That will clear
the system of humors and bile, with
miJd efficacy, without any ol the
weakening effects of calomel or con
gress water. People should not irri-
tate the stomach by eating lemons
clear; the powerful acid juice, which
is almost coiro3ive, infallibly pro
duces inflammation after awhile,
but properly diluted, so that it does
not burn or draw the throat, does its
full medicinal worn without harm,
and when the stomach is clear of
food, has abundant opportunity to
work >on the system thoroughly.
WOMEN AND WINE.
A writer in Scribners Monthly uses
the following strong language, which
will be responded to by the women
who have suffered all over the land.
“Of the worst foes that women
have ever had to encounter, wine
stands at the head. The appetite for
strong drink in men has spoiled the
lives of more women—ruined more
hopes for them, scattered more for
tunes for them, brought to them
more shame, sorrow and hardship—
tiian any other evil that lives. The
country numbers tens of thousands
nay, hundreds of thousands of wom
en who are widows to-day, and sit in
hopeless weed-*, because their hus
bands have been slain by strong
drink.”
Yes, says the Agricultural World ,
there are hundreds of thousands of
homes scattered all over the land, in
which women live lives of torture,
going through all the changes of suf
fering that lie between the.extremes
of fear and despair, because those
whom they love, love wine better
than they do the women they have
sv!orn to love. There are women by
thG thousands who dread to hear at
the door the step that once thrilled
them with pleasure; that step ha
learned to reel under the influence of
the seductive poison. There are
women groaning with pain, while
we write these words, from bruises
and nrutalities inflicted by
made mad by drink. There can be
no exaggeration in any statement
made in regard to this matter, be
cause no human imagination can cre
ate anything worse than the truth,
and no pen is capapable of portray
ing the truth. The sorrow of a wife
with a drunken husband, or a moth
er with a drunken son, are as near
the realization of hell as can be reach
ed, in this world at least. The shame,
the indignation, the sorrow, the
sense of disgrace for himself and
children, the poverty—and not un
frequently the beggary—the fear and
the fact of violence, the lingering life
are enough to make all women curse
wine, and engage unitedly to oppose
it everywhere as the worst enemy of
their sex.
ON THE WRONG TRACK ONCE
MORE.
An important case was tried be
fore the criminal court of the Dis
trict of Columbia. An old colored
man was on the witness stand. The
district attorney interrogated the
witness: “What is your name?”
“John Williams, salv” “Are you
the John Williams who was sent to
the Albany penitentiary?” “No sah
—not this John.” ‘‘Are you the
John Williams who was sent to the
district jail for assault ?” “No, sail
—not this John.” “Are you the
John Williams who was convicted
of arson and sent to the Baltimore
penitentiary ?” “No, sah.” Tired of
asking fruitless questions, the dis
trict attorney suddenly put a leading
one. “Have yon ever been in a peni
tentiary?” “Yes, sah.’’All eyes wen
now turned upon the witness. The
district attorney smiled complacent
ly, and resumed : “How many times
have you been in the penitentiary ? ’
“Twice, sah.” “Where?” “In Bal
timore, sah.” “How long were yon
there the first time ?” “About two
hours, sah.” “How long the second
time?” asked the attorney, rather
crestfallen. “An hour, sah. I
went there to whitewash 'a cell for a
lawyer who had robbed bis client.”
The attorney sat-down amid the
laughter of the ‘spectators. ,* •
A Nt)BLE HABIT.
-r r • * ; ;
There are persons whom you can
always believe, because you know
they have the habit of telling the
truth. They do not ‘color’ a story
or enlarge a bit of news in order h>
make it sound fine or remarkable.
There are others whom you hard
ly know whether to believe or not,
because they ‘stretch’ things sd. A
trifling incident grows in size, bub
not in quality, by passing through
their mouth. They take a small
fact or slender bit of news and pad it
with-added words, and paint it with
high colored adjectives, until it is
largely unreal and gives a false im
pression. And one does not like to
listen to folks when so much must be
‘allowed for shrinkage.”
Cultivate the habit of telling the
truth in little things as well as in
great ones. Pick your words wisely,
and use only such as rightly mean
what you wish to say. Never stretch
a story or fact to make it bigger or
funnier. Do this, and people will
I learn to respect and trust you.
THE COLORED VOTE.
[Baltimore Gazette.]
Governor Colquitt has been re
elected governor of Georgia by a
handsome majority, although his
competitor, ex-Senator Norwood, re
ceived the support of a powerful sec
tion of the local democracy. The
result i3 gratifying to democrats
everywhere for two reasons: la the
first place the governor’s re-election
was due him as a recognition of val
uable services rendered the state.
Mr. Colquitt has made an admirable
executive, his administration haviifg
been one of the most liberal aud
progressive that Georgia has ever
had. Under bis regime immigrants
n ive poured into her fertile fields
•md the state’s credit has been raised
to a point which no other southern
community has been able to reach
-ince the war. In the second place
the election demonstrates in the most
effective way to northern republicans
that the colored men of the south do
vote the democratic ticket now
and then; for the telegraph informs
us that Governor Colquitt’s election
was largely secured by the colored
vote. Asa matter of fact, the south
ern colored man has a much clearer
and juster perception of his real in
terests man have his professed allies
at the north, experience having
taught him that the friendship and
good will of southern democrats is
far more valuable than the servile,
canting and thoroughly selfseeking
co-operation of carpetbag emissaries.
To this fact is to be ascribed the al
most universal apathy of colored
republicans at the south in the na
tional canvass, aud the earnest sup
port which they give to democratic
candidates who have treated them
well. Governor Colquitt was the
regular democratic candidate and his
opponent was the nominee of an in
dependent organization which had
received the support of the republi
can leaders. The fact that the col
ored vote3 were cast for Governor
Colquitt is, therefore, all the more
significant fjnd shows that in Geor
no longer be relied upon to blindly
vote as their northern leaders dic
tate.
GENERAL GORDON AND GOV
ERNOR COLQUITT.
Gen. John B. Gordon, ex-U .S.
senator, and Governor Colquitt, of
Georgia passed through this city
Wednesday night, en route to Boyd’s
Switch. They will return in a few
days.
A Times reporter held a short con
versation with Gen. Gordon on the
effect of the recent defeat in Indiana.
He does not think that it can be
viewed as an irreparable disaster for
the democratic party, but only .as a
repulse, which can be overcome bs
good management and thorough can
vassmg. He thinks that if the re
publican majority in Indiana does
not exceed four or five thousand,
rhat it can be counteracted by No
vember and the state may cast its
electoral vote for Hancock. He
says there are a great many old sol
diers in the state, who perhaps in
fluenced by local differences, may
have voted with the republicans for
.late officers, but who, when the
question is a national issue, will sup
port their old leader. He spoke very
confidently of Hancock’s election and
the great benefits which, in
woutcLuecrue to the nation.—

S. A. CUNNINGHAM-
A CAMPAIGN CANARD.
Ihe mo3t disreputable campaign
story yet concocted was recently
given circulation to in the Cincinnati
Gazette , than which no more bitter
and malignant partisan journal ex
ists. It was to the effect that thirty
four years ago W. H. the
democratic candidate for the Vice-
Presidency, became pension admin
istrator of his grandmother, who was
the widow of a revolutionary pen
sioner, and under the plea of insol
vency has defrauded the heirs of
their money ever since. Such a
story would scarcely have been be
lieved in any eveut, but coming on
the heels of the electiou, it is gra
tuitously silly and slanderous. Mr.
English has thought it necessary,
however, to stamp oul the slander at
once, which he effectually does by
publishing in tho Indianapolis pa
pers the receipt in full of every one
of the heirs in ques ion, given in 1849,
attested before responsible witnesses,
and his settlement with and dis
charge by the court granting the
letters of administration. The Ga
zette's charge was manufactured out
of whole cloth. It will not be so
fortunate as it has been with other
campaign slanders of the kind, as
Mr. English announces his purposo
of bringing tin proprietor into court
to answer a charge of malicious libel
as soon as the election is over. Dea
con Richard Smith has made a seri
ous mistake this time.
LOUSIANA STATE LOTTERY.
New York, October 13.—Abram
Orlando Jackson has begun suit
against the Louisiana State Lottery
Company, and obtaining a writ of
attachment from Judge Daniel to
day attached money of the company
and of its officers and agents in the
National Park Bank. Jackson, it is
said, formerly dealt in lottery tickets
policy slip, but his business was de
stroyed by proceedings against the
company. In his complaint he al
leges that on 173 occasions, between

company. He brings the present
action under that section of the re
vised statues which providesj that a
person investing in lottery tiekets
can sue for double the amount and
recover double cost.
