The CaitersYille Express. CORNELIUS WILLINGHAM, Editor. For the Muse that lacks assistance , For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do. Cartemille, Ca., Thnrsday, March 31, 1881. THE SUSPENSION OF THE BANK OF ROME. North Georgia is now thrown into excitement over the first failure of importance that has occurred in this section in many years. It is the sus pension of the Bank of Rome, which suspended payment on the 26th. The cause of the embarrassment of the bank was the heavy advances made on cotton shipments. The bank has cashed the drafts of proba bly 500 bales of cotton per week The recent floods so damaged large quantities of cotton consigned to New York that the New York banks refused to pay. This left the Rome bank without funds, and hence the supension. The*Bank of Rome is chartered under the laws of the state of Geor gia, with C. G. Samuels, president; E. D. Frost, vice-president, and J. S. Pancheu, cashier. It its one of the state depositories designated by Gov ernor Colquitt, and at the time of suspension had of the state money a total of $53,868.83. The bond of $50,000 approved by the governor is signed by five securities, who are worth above all liabilities, as follows : E. D. Frost $50,000, Samuel Morgan $50,000, E. D. Samuel $35,000, W. L. Prentice, $20,000, W. P. Deason, SIO,OOO/ total $165,000. It is be lieved by parties who are w r ell in formed that the state will lose noth ing whatever by the suspension. The Constitution says that State Treasurer Speer thinks the state is undoubtedly secure against loss. Mr. Speer has gone to Rome to repre sent the state. Mr. John H. Reynolds, president of the First National bank of Rome, who is also the assignee of the Bank of Rome, says that the liabilities of the Bank of Rome, exclusive of cap ital stock, are $165,562.19. The nom inal assets appear to be $221,500.93. The difficulty of arriving at the value of the assets is so great it will take several days to determine the same, hiu. if- io proUalolv i,Li at iko naminal amount of assets will be greatly re duced. THE CO TTONFA CTOR Y MO VE ME NT, By no means should the movers in the cotton factory enterprise let their energy flag for one moment. The result ol their labors will be too important in the answer to the ques tion as to whether Cartersville will live or die. There are but few who will ridicule the remark that our town is mighty sick. We see daily the trade that should flow into our stores, seeking other markets. Our merchants seem to be content with the small pittance of their own, that they receive, and have well nigh ceased all efforts to prevent an abso lute capture of their entire trade. When Cartersville looses its grip as a com mercial town, it will have to reach around for something else to keep it alive. Then, let’s make her a manu facturing town. Her advantages as such, providing the manufactories are put in operation, have been discanted upon until they are as well known as the alphabet. Then why not meet the emergency. Estimates have been made, and it is demonstrated by the never-lying figures that a mill can be put in operation at a very trifling cost comparatively, and it only re u mains for our capitalists to put a small portion of their shoulders to the wheel. When the subscription lists are opened, don’t say you’ll give the ground or site, or so much work, but go down in your pockets and get money. Money is what is needed. Let Cartersville make one earnest effort, and the cotton factary can be readily securod. Hurry up the Press Convention, gentlemen. That convention at which quarreling journalists are supposed to bury the hatchet. Besides the Rome papers, those two staid old sisters, the Atlanta Constitution and Macon Telegraph and Messenger, are mussing up each other’s frizzes in a hand to hand conflict, Bcaconsfield arcribes all his great ness to women. Adam laid all his trouble to the same score. Adam, we are ashamed of you. Beacons field, you are a gentleman, THE NE W SENA TE. The senate is now complete and it is quite interesting to look on the list and note the peculiarities. The oldest mania the senate is Justin S. Morrill, of Vermont, who is 71. Sen ators David Davis and Anthony,each 66, come next. Tbe youngest man in the senate is 43, and there are three of that age, Senators Groome and Gorman, of Maryland, and Mit chell, of Pennsylvania. It is notice* able that both of the senators from Maryland are of the same age, and that they are the youngest men in the body. Thirteen states are repre sented only by natives. It is notice able that both the senators from each of the states of Indiana and lowa are natives of Ohio, both the Mississippi senators were born in Georgia, and both the senators from Colorado are natives of New York. Nine senators in all are natives of the empire state, seven owe their birth to Ohio, and seven to Kentucky. One state, Ne vada, is represented by senators both born in foreign lands. k Sercnteen states, New Jersey, Florida,Alabama, Mississippi. Texas, Louisiana, Arkan sas, Kansas, Nebraska, lowa, Minne sota, Oregon, California, Nevada, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Colo rado, have no natives in the senate. There are six foreign born senators. Messrs. Farley of California, Jones of Florida, Fair of Nevada, and Sew ell of New Jersey, were born in Ire land; Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, was born in Scotland, and Mr. Jones, of Nevada, in England. Senator David Davis weighs the most nnd Senator Mahone the least. Of those born in New York, all but one are republi cans. Of those born in Kentucky, all but one are democrats. Among the handsome men are the senators from South Carolina, Vance of North Carolina, Bayard, Hawley, and Pen dleton. Senator Hill, of Georgia, is the one southern democratic senator who is in all respects equipped to contend with the few republican giants. He is in knowledge of the law, in oratory, in logic, in the weapons of wit and sarcasm, and in readiness as well as learning, the match and mor? than the match for Edmunds or Conkling. There may be disagreements occasion ally ns fry the nanrso Via pursues, but there is no question as to his ability A man from Georgia or from the south generally, or from any demo cratic locality, can not fail to rejoice that his section or his party has a champion who can more than hold his own against the powerful repub lican gladiators. ‘Georgia has two great senators, and they make their state respected in the senate. —Au- gusta Chronicle. Senator Joe Brown is reported to have *aid, in a recent democratic cau cus, in Washington City, which met for the purpose of taking couucil against the organization of the senate by the republicans. He wanted the democrats to fili buster against the removal of the dem ocratic officials to the last extremity. He said, The democrats have aban doned fight after fignt and position after position until they are in dan ger of forfeiting public respect and confidence. It is time we were or ganizing on one fight and standing by it till we whip it. * —. There is great need of dwelling houses in Cartersville. If a person is suddenly deprived of a home, it is with the greatest difficulty that he can find another one in town. Why don’t somebody build ? When the cotton factory gets in operation, a great many residences will be needed. — “The Cartersville girls are consid erably troubled. They are fearful the late freshet drowned all the jo rees.”—[Phonograph. Now for goodness sake, Chris, take a day off and come up here and help a plodding and innocent country mind to “get on to” that joree joke. Willi a wonderful tenacity, second only to that of lion. A. 11. Stephens, Judge Hiram Warner still clings on to life. He is still balancing between life and death, in which condition he has been for nearly six weeks. He bears his misfortune with iron-like fortitude. Why don’t “Tom Arter” or Dick Grubb biograph Bill Moore ? When that comes out Mary Anderson will be able to collate from it enough facts to found anew play. We believe she is emotionul. LITERARY NOTES. “A Fair Barbarian,” by Francis Hodgson Barnett —James R. Osgood & Cos., Boston —- Price, SI.OO. Through the courtesy of the pub lisher we have received the above named work. The authoress will bo remembered as the writer of “That Lass o’ Lowrie’s,” “Haworth’s,” “Louisiana,” etc., all popular stories published in Scribner’s The book before us is of the same of* der. It has no merit unless it is for brevity. There is no ingeniusness of plot (in fact no plot). There is nothing in it from which one can gain a single step in the progress of literary acquirement. The simple story told in the simplest words, is of a sunbeam from Nevada shining up on the cold, misty atmosphere of su percillious, prudish English society, warming and quickening it with the life of a free people. The only de duction from it is the striking con trast of character between anarchy and liberty, or a people or society who are untrammeled in the expres sion of opinion and consummation of purpose and desire, and a people gov erned by autocratic leaders who not only mould and force a rule of government, but who, on account of supreme dignity in social rank, form customs for a society which from trained principles of subjection hasn’t the courage or spirit to act indepen dently. CARLYLE’S REMINISCENCES. “By special arrangement” with the American public, the Literary Revo lution will issue immediately a beau tiful Acme edition, elegant cloth binding, of the “Reminiscences of Thomas Carlyle,” price 30 cents, postage 6 cents, and it can be had of the nearly 2,000 booksellers who are agents of the Literary Revolution in all parts of the United States. Thomas Carlyle, more than any other man of the nineteenth century, taught the American public, and people of good sense throughout the world, to despise pretence and bum bug whether exhibited by monarch or menial. Sensible people who want a g x>d book at an honest price will buy it where they find it. There is in this country no law which gives to a foreign author, as it gives to an American, the right of the monopoly of the publication of his book. If publishers choose to pay a foreign author anything, they can do it only as a “donation,” because he can give them in return no protection from competition. Readers have thepriv ilege of making such donation, it ctiey ciiuusc to do so without paying it to the publishers and trusting to the possibility of their paying it to the author for them. Readers who want to combine a possible donation, and a positive price, can get an edi tion of this same book from other publishers at from two to eight times the price. Address for catalogue, American Book Exchange, publish ers, New York. A paper by JEt. W. Emerson, on his personal impressions of Thomas Car lyle, made up from his unpublished letters written at the time of his first visit to England,will appear in Scrib ner for May. The publication is made by special arrangement with Mr. Emerson and the Massachusetts His torical Society, before which the pa per was read, and in the minutes of which it is to be printed after its ap pearance in Scribner. On our first page will be found a description of the SIO,OOO prize beau ty secured by Adam Forepaugh, the circus man. It she does not marry the handsome young man who ped dles lemonade before the circus gets to Atlanta, we wain her about Ned Bruffey. The editor of The Free Press an nounces that he did not prepare all the matter for his last issue. That probably accounts for tho terrific leader on his life-time friend, Hon, B H. Hill. We are sorry that tho Free Press is forced to come out in half sheet this week on account of sickness of the force. It is almost impossible to get printers nowadays. Grubb, of the Darien Gazette, wants the Press Association to excurt to Washington. Isn’t there about enough fllli busters there now? Will the late flood be called “The Garfield Fieshet ? ’’ Greece has an army of 85,000 men. 4 CARD.

Kalloch, the murderer of DeYong, has been acquitted. Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, has been re-nominated. The president has decided not to call an extra session of congress. The certificate of incorporation of the New York Cremation Society was approv ed on Saturday. Governor Brown’s biblical simile of the republican lion qnd the readjuster lamb lying down together and being led by a little general, is going the rounds of the press. The Pope has ordered a strict in quiry into the traffic in counterfeit relics. The information is given that no bodies have been taken from the catacombs for thirty year s. Of the four defeated democratic presidential candidates living, Mr. Tilden is the most solemn, Mr. Seymour the most orac ular, General Hancock the most complacent, and General McClellan the most jocular. The remains of Alexander 11. were deposited in the imperial vault in the church of Petropaulousky fortrws on the 27th amid salvos of artillery. The church was densely crowded. The catafalque was strewn with flowers and wreaths. It is difficult to foretell the issues that will be involved in the Virginia elections next fall. The regular democrats must bide their time. At present the prospect would seem to be that General Mahone is to become a leader of the entire opposition. The Cincinnati C om'mercial dis criminately says that Boston’s 6trong point intellectually has been her provincialism. The same is true socially. She has exhibited the best type of American provincialism, and ought to be proud of it. Asa great metropo* lis Boston is not judged at her best. In consequence of complaints made by passengers on steamers between Baltimore and Savannah, Collector Thomas, of the for mer port, has decided that no further permits shall be granted to carry petroleum on passen ger steamers where there is railroad connec tion between Baltimore and coastwise ports, Fire in Wheeling, W.

Superintendent Walker of the cen sus bureau is very proud of bis body of ex' perts, and of all the expert work of his office, he is most enthusiastic over that of Professor W, E. Hilgai and, of the university of California, who is preparing the report ou cotton culture. General Walker says this report will be the most important work ever issued from the government printing office. The Board of Aldermen of New York ou Tuesday authorized the Edison Elec tric Illuminating Company “to lay lubes, wires, conductors and insulators, and to erect lamn-Dosts in the streets, avenues, parks aud public places in mis city, lor the purpose of conveying, using and supplying electricity or electrical currents for purposes of illumina tion.” The measure now goes to the Mayor for his action. The nihilists are not confined to the poorer classes. They are found in every rank and station of Russian life. The daugh ter of a great civil officer is now charged with the crime of having given the signal for the throwing of the bomb that, killed the czar. The educated classes 'do iu fact furnish the leaders and uo small part of the rank and file of the great and altogether irrepressible move ment against absolutism. On Friday forty moonshiners plead ed guilty in the United States court at Atlan ta, and were let off with light sentences. Judge Hill believes that the certainty of pun ishment will do more to deter men from crime than the severity of punishment. His idea is that heavy penalties iu the illicit distilling cases would be considered a persecution, and public sentiment would be aroused in their favor. Republican senators held a caucus on the morning of the 25th at which it was determined to “stand firm” in the pending contest for the possession of senate officers and to continue it long as may be necessary to attain success. It was agreed, however, that the adjournment of the senate should be allowed at a comparatively early hour this af ternoon and that subsequently the caucus shall assemble to perfect arrangements for re suming the struggle on Monday with a view of continuing it thereafter w ithout intermis sion. The Hon. Chas. C. Jones, of Geor gia, has illustrated over one hundred volumes and one of the greatest of his productions his torically, is a work based upon the roster of the confederate army,consisting of autographs, original army orders, 750 original letters, and many portraits, prints, maps and plans of battles The work makes ten thick volumes. At a cost of S6OO he has illustrated the “Siege of Savannah in 1779,” and he has also, at a great expense, illustrated with many rare prints the “Life of Tomo Chi-Chi,” a Georgia chief, who in 1734 visited Europe with Gover nor Ogiethorpe, —New York Sun. SENATOR BROWN’S REPLY TO GENERAL MAHONE. Associated Press Dispatches.] Mr. Brown proceeded at some length to an swer charges made against him by Mr. Ma honc Monday. Referring to that portion ot Mahone’s speech concerning his (Brown’s) record, he said the gentleman from Virginia has grossly mirepresented it. The gentleman had charged him with inconsistency. He ad mitted that the position which he now occu. pied upon certain questions was not the posi tion he had occupied at the beginning of the war. He had gone into that contest to main tain slavery and state sovereignty. He had sincerely believed he was right in the war- The war had settled both questions—slavery had been abolished, and he was content that it was abolished. To this extent he might be said to be inconsistent. The gentleman had advised him to readjust his record. He would be unable to readjust himself so as to take the position which that gcutlcman occupied to day before the senate and the country. Reply ing to the charges made against him Monday by Mr. Mahone that he (Mr. Brown) had had an ambition for the presidency of the Confed erate States, he said Mr. Mahone’s statement was very wide of the facts. He had positively refused to permit his name to be used for auy confederate position whatever. The geutle mau had charged him -with withdrawing the militia of Georgia from the confederate cause. There again the gentleman had been misin formed about the facts. He had never with drawn with his militia from the confederate service. That charge of the senator fell to the ground a3 unjust and un true. Referring to Mahone’s denial of a bar gain between him aud the republicans, Mr. Brown said be did not state that the charge that there was a bargain was true, but proceed ed to make a resume of facts which led to that conclusion. It was a peculiar coincidence that the senator from Virginia, who, up to a late period, had always been a democrat should vote with the republicans on the or ganization of every conmittee, and that iu a very short time afterwards the republicans should meet in caucus and nominate his inti mate friends—Gorham, who had bolted the party and been read out of it, and Riddlebcr berger, who had always bcca a democrat. It might have been no bargain. It might not have been even an understanding, but be would call it a peculiar coincidence. If there was a bargain, the democrats would not be parties to it. If it had been carried out on one side they would not help to deliver the goods. The situation reminded him of the story of the coon and the skunk. The coon had left home one day, and on his return found some other animal in the ’hollow of bis tree. He thought it was a cat and challenged it as such. “No,” said the polecat, “I am a coon.” “You don’t look like a coon.” “But I am a coon.” “You don’t talk like a coon.” “But I am a coon.” “You don’t smell like a coon aud you amt a coon.” [Laughter.] This transaction did not look exactly like a proper transaction, and it did not smell like a proper transaction. [Laughter.] The repub lican side reminded him of the man who had caught a wolf and then had to call to a friend to help let it go, or rather it reminded him of the man who had won an elephant at a raffle and did not know what to do with him. The republicans had won the elephant iu Ibis case and were not in a very good condition to get rid of him. If they did not stand by his friends he might turn and rend every chairman of theirs. [Laughter.] In conclusion he assert ed it to be his duty to stay here and prevent the consummation of what the public thought to be a bargain. NEW ADVERTISEMETS.. For Sale ! Jersev Heifer and Calf.
