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.” - „ JL 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. William H. Barnvm, • Chairman. 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.— Chattanooga M Times. ‘\Severio yettrs ago,” said the Marietta Journal, ‘*Mrs. Post and her two sons, Jackson and Nelson, mov ed From thi* county to near Graham, Texas. The young men went to work for a rich okl farmer. The Wife of the old farmer went on a vis it to some relatives and left the old gentleman at home. On returning from her visit she found the 1 ost boys and another hired man in pos session, claiming that they had bought the farm from her husband, hod that he had gone in search of her, Sbe could hear nothing of him, and a detective began to investigate mat ters and found her husband’s dead body in ft- ditch on the farm.

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 JjiJi; *Asth $86,581.87, in lottery tickets of the company.
