Our Next Governor.
Tht Democratic party in Geor
gia, we are sorry to say is threat-
med with serious trouble in the
early future; and we greatly fear,
that unless wise and prudent coun
sels prevail, the Autumn of 1880
will fiad it in this State io the
same trouble that now environs the
New York Democracy. As to who
is responsible for this state of at*
fairs we shall not now discuss; tor,
we do not wish to fan the flames
ot strife with crimination and re
crimination, but rather to do our
bumble part in putting down dis
cord and in restoring peace and
harmony to the party.
We wish it distinctly under
stood in the outset that we have
the fullest confidence in the pa
triotism and honesty of Governor
('olquitt. But the governor of a
great State must possess other
qualities in addition to these—
qualities which up to this date
Governor Colquitt has not shown
himself to possess.
It is a lameutable fact that re
cent investigations have shown
great derelictions of duty and vio
lations ot law by the state-house
officers in Atlanta. Money has
been taken in open violation of
law by these officers whose styl*
of living, and layish expenditures,
made it necessary for them to re
sort to other means than their sal
aries to keep up these extravagan
cies, All this has been going on
as it were under the very nose of
the Governor; and yet, it was left
fur the General Assembly to dis
cover all these delinquincies. Thou
sands ot people while believing in
the integrity of the Governor, do
not hesitate to say that his high
office should be filled by one ot
sufficient vigilance and ability to
see what, every intelligent man iu
Atlanta had for months past sus-
picioned. For these, and other
reasons not uecessary to mention,
we are satisfied that it Governor
Colquitt shall be nominated as his
own successor, there will he au in
dependent candidate to oppose him
with a strong probability ot suc
cess. This will cause a split in
the Democratic party in this State
which it will require many years
to heal.
All this evil we think cun he
avoided by the nomination of the
right man for Governor; that man
we think iB, beyond all dispute
Hon. Martin J. Crawford of Co
lumbus. Of eminent ability, he
has achieved success as a lawyer,
tame as a jurist and renown as a
legislator. True as steel to his
section, loving Georgia first, his
views and principles are neverthe
less sufficiently broad aud liberal
views to embrace a continent and
to enable him to render justice to
ell alike. With an nxperience in
public affairs of years;—a mem
ber of the Federal Congrrss, and
niter wards ot the Confederate Con
gress,—minister from the Confed
erate to the United Stat»s in 1861,
he has discharged every trust re
posed in him with fidelity to his
constituents and honor to lumsell.
A statesman of tried and approved
ability;—a gentleman ot the old
school of integrity, there has never
been heard, even in the bitterest
political warfare, a breath ot sus
picion against the houesty ot hi-
r.hrracter or the purity of his lile.
tie would scorn to do a mean or
little thing, and dishonest officers
would find his society so uuconge
ni&l that they would speedily go
in search of an atmosphere more
to their liking and taste.
Men of the character of Judge
Crawford are not so oommou as
that we can afford to pass them by
in the hour of need. His name
would be a tower of strength aud
would unite the party from the
mountains to the seabird, aud
wherever else ability is sought aud
honssty of character und purity ot
purpose is honored aud loved, Foi
these reasons we are for Judge
Crawford for Governor first, last
and fell the time.
The Telegraph and Messenger thinks
our article with reference to Presiden
tial candidates somewhat premature.
We trust our article on Gubernational
candidates will not meet with the same
criticism. That journal is so ably con
ducted, and so seldom wrong with ref
erence to matters of this sort, that we
would be inclined to plead guilty to
any charge of a similar character which
our respected ootomporary might bring
against us. Still, the evil which threat
ens our party seems to us probable,
that we are anxious to do all in our
power te avert it. The Democratic
party has made so many blunders of
late th*i we don’t think it can afford
to make a serious one next fall in
Georgia.
The State Treasurer.
Now that the State Trcasui-er has
!>•*«*» im|toadied, wh see no necessity
for wasting much of the time of the
General Assembly or auy great amount
of the people’s money. Taking the
Treasurer’s owu statement we think he
is guilty, and that such will be the
judgement of the high court before
which he is being tried. It may he
necessary to examine Messrs. Tommay,
Wilson, Murphey, aud one or two oth
ers, to ascertain how much money went
into the Treasurer’s hands as interest
on the State’s deposits.
Upon tho conviction ot the Treas
urer we think Murphey should be turn
ed out of office, aud that the Governor
be directed to havo the Attorney Gons
era! or some competeut attorney to
commence suit against these two per
sons to recover back the State’s mon
ey which has beeu wrongfully paid over
into their hands.
SOME RICH MEMORIES.
Of The Last Days of Lec*s Army.
A Few Anecdotes and Remisis- knces
Called Out by the Gordon Nar
rative—The Men Who Led
the One Hundred—
Capeain English
and the Flag
cp Truce.
The narrative of General Gordon of
the last days of Lee’s fighting in Vir
ginia, which appeared in the Constitus
tion of lest Sunday, has been the sub
ject of general comment. There arc
many men in this city who went through
those fearful scenes and in whose breaRt
the fervid words of the narrative, wnk
aned memories that have for years been
smothered by the bustle and hum of
the world.
Capt. James English, of this oity, is
the man who reoeived the first note of
th* correspondence between Gen. Grant
and General Lee that resulted in the
surrender. It came out on the of 7th
of April, Capt. English was command •
ing a company in the Second Georgia
battalion, in Wrght’s Georgia brigade.
This brigndo had been engaged nil the
afternoon in a heavy fight with Miles’
division, and had captured about 1,200
prisoners. The men were feeling pret
ty good over it. Their lineB were rest
ing near High Bridge in Virginia., At
night a courier dashed up to the lines
and asked for a truce stating that he
desired to send a note from Gen. Grant,
to Gen. Lee. Capt. English, in whose
front he had halted, went forward and
told bin that he would communicate
his wishes to the brigade headquarters.
At length the permission was granted
and the sealed message was sent for
ward. While it was gone, the courier
who had bronght the message began
talking. “Do you know what that
message is 9 ” ho said to Capt. English
who had just been joined by State Sen
ator Perry who was adjutanNgeneral
of the brigade. “No I don’t!” was
the reply, “it’s a demand for the snr-
enrier of Lee’s army!” We are not
permitted to chronicle the exact nature
of the reply made by Capt. English and
Adjutant Perry to this information.
A PATHETIC 8TOBY.
A gentleman in this city writes us
the following account of a most pathet
ic incident that occurred on the night
attack on Fort Steadman. It gives the
name of the lender of the 100 men who
took the fort. A more touching or
heroic incident is not to be found in
the annals of the war.
Atlanta, Ga., September 1—H. W.
Grady, Dear Sir—Your interesting
account of a recent interview with Gen.
Gordou regarding the closing scenes of
the late war in yesterday’s Constitution,
brings to the mind of the writer an in
citlont that I think worthy of note as
illustrating the lion-hearted determi
nation of the humbler actors in that
bloody drama. The officer who com
manded the hundred riflemen whose
task was to capture Fort Steadman,
was Captain Joseph P, Carson, Co.
14th Ga. Kegt Phil. Cook’s brigade,
who now resides on his plantation near
Reynolds, Taylor county, Georgia. A
younger brother of Cuptain Carson,
only about nineteen years old at the
time and acting as courb r for GenCook
followed his brother unawares into the
fight, and was probably the first man
killed, ns immediately after daylight.
Captain C , found his body lying on
the edge of the fort with head to the
enemy. Captain Carson kept the body
near him, moving it from point to point
during the fight, aud when the order
was given to retire,took the dead broth
er on his shoulders, still commanding
his men, and brought it aud the survi
vors of his men into the Confederate
lines, and siuce the surrender the body
to bis home in Georgia where it now
rests. As no official account of these
names has been kept as au act of jus
tice to the living and these dead, I beg
to bear testimony to the facts, having
been un eye witness. Yours very res
pectfully, W. T. Wilson,
Lieutenant Fourth Georgia Regiment.
