FOR PRESIDENT—IB76.
THOMAS A. HENDRICK'S,
OF INDIANA.
LOCAL POLITICS.
As the season approaches for hold
ing county and district conventions
throughout the State the mind of ev
ery good citizen naturally goes out
among his people in search of the
persons best suited and qualified to
fill the various local offices ; the most
important of these in this communi
ty this fall will be our Representative
to the }opuiar branch of the Legisla
turo, there being no Senator to elect.
We regard the selection of our mem
ber for the coming sessions of the
next two years as being vitally im
portant to us, as there will be an elec
tion of U. S. Senator during the time,
and much important legislation, such
as a perfecting of the common school
system under the bill now pending in
Congress for the distribution of the
prweeds of the public lands for school
purposes, etc., and the adjustment of
our collection laws. To meet the ex
igencies of these terrible, trying times
we must have an equitable apprase
ment law, and many other needed re
forms. To accomplish anything in
these directions we must have men of
brains and good judgement, with ex
perience and ability enough to bo
able to make their peers and consti
tuents understand them when they
take a position. We do not want old
Hall to be in a position to be led by
the abler Representative of some oth
er county, but on the contrary wish
it to be said of her, Hall county has
sent to the Capital an able and rep
resentative man, capable of taking
care of her own and the State’s inter
est, of such a one the people arc al
ways proud, and they can feel safe
with their interests iu his hands. We
have plenty such in our county,
among them may be named, S. C.
Fraser, M. W. Finger, Wyley Quit-
Man, \\. C. Smith, and a score of oth
ers in the country, and Col. J. F.
Langston, Col. Dorsey, Sain’l Dunlap,
Esq., Dr. 11. S. Bradley, and others
in the city. For our own part, while
we disown any purpose to forestall the
wilj of the people, or to prejudice any
one for or against any citizen desiring
the place, we have a deci ed personal
preference for Col. Langston, and we
are never afraid to give our reasons
for any private or public position we
•-•ike. Fiist, then, Col Langston pos
sesses undisputed ability. Second,
he is aa able speaker. Third, he has
no superior in the State for moral in
tegrity, aud unblemished character.
Fourth, having been raised up in this
county, and struggled hard for the
position among men of intelligence
that he has attained, he comprehends
the situation and wants of the people
ns well or better than almost any oth
er man iu the county. Fifth, he has
the universal esteem of all the people,
and could be elected by almost a unan
imous vote. These are our reasons
lor preferiug hi in, and wc can give
many others if necessary, but never
theless, wc say if Col. Langston is not
Uic man the people want, give us as
good a one.—

* 111 S.IINT MU'IS CDIKVr.K'IfOIV.
To-day the delegates chosen to rep
resent the Democratic party will as
semble in convention at St. Louis to
make selections of candidates for
President and Vice President of the
Cnited States for the next four years.
The candidates and platform of the
Cincinnati Republican Convention
arc before them, The candidates are,
to say the least, not objectionable as
Republicans, although weaker than
Blaine or Morton would have been,
With Conkling or Hartranft as sec
ond on the ticket. The latter ticket
would have awakened all the enthu
siasm and warmth of tin* party ad he*
rents, and set the whole party in a
blaze, and made the canvass one of
unceasing toil. As it is, it only re*
mains for the Democratic Convention
to act wisely and. with < nation to to
tally rout the Republicans, and once
more, in twenty years, put the good
"Id party of safety and moderation in
power. The great and paramount
requisite of the nominee should be
liia ability to unite the South and
West in their very proper efforts to
ntruggk; against monopoly, serfdom
mid poverty imposed upon them by
dans legislation and a centralized
government. Our candidate should
be thoroughly cpmmitted in favor of
reform and against lire corruption
that ha** been practiced lot the past
!w-|vr years, and in favor ~f bringing
the government back to the pi'actiwis
o( economy and right. He should be
Democrat against whose record
nothing can be justly brought, either
Wurth or South, thus avoiding in the
yeu vast* u>i scliiblaucc of
htrlfy.
Iti cftfctlHg about we ‘oe no
other nmn w fully up to our standard
a* Tin. >mna A. Hendricks, present
Governor of Indiana. That lie can
t airy several of the Kovtlbwepdern
Slates that no other yniin snve, ]vr-
haps, Senator Thurman, can carry.—
There is no doubt these States aggre
gate a larger yote than New York, if
she should become'obstreperous; —
which she has too good sense to do—
aud so we shall be the gainers in ei
ther event. We do not pretend to
say that there arc not many other
good men in our party who would
make faithful executives in behalf of
tho tax-ridden people, but we do say,
as the next door neighbor of Mr.
Hayes, our candidate Gov. Hendricks,
has largely the advantage over any
other in the field, and well do the Re
publicans know it, when they go back
to the campaign that resulted in Mr.
Hendricks’s election to his present
position, and take into the account
that half of the prominent Republi
cans in the Union were imported into
his old native State to beat him in
the race with no other effect than to
give him nearly ten thousand majori
ty, in a State that has gone from 11,-
000 to 40,000 Radical majority ever
since t!ie war.
We earnestly implore the delegates
of our beloved adopted Empire State
of Georgia to look well to their intei
ests, and that of the whole country
with whom they sympathize from
necessity, before handing the control
of the Democratic party over again
to New York and the East generally,
and thereby allowing Hayes to walk
over the course, —as Grant has done
twice before—and place ourselves
four years more in the hands of Blain,
Morton, Cameron, Chandler, and the
balance of the Forty Thieves who
have stolen us penniless during their
long uninterrupted reign.
It will be a sorry day for the De
mocracy should the advice of the
Atlanta Constitution and other prom
inent papers of the South prevail, and
the Convention put the cart before
the horse by placing an eastern man
in the lead of a western one, aud
thus turn the wants of the country
hind-side before and wrong-side out.
Give us Hendricks against Ilayes,
and the battle is won, otherwise, look
out for the same breakers we have
been wrecked upon the two preceding
elections. The sate pilot never
strands on the same beach a third
time.
MAJORITY RULE AT ST. LOUIS.
For over forty years it has been
the usage of the Democratic party to
require a candidate for any office of
importance to obtain two thirds of
the votes of any convention before he
could be said to have the endorse
menl of his party for the position
sought. There never has been a time
since the adoption of this rule that,
there was not some wiseaci c or weak
political aspirant seeeking to abolish
it, and for what reason? Not, surely,
that it causes the men who seek of
fice to be well endorsed by the repre
sentatives of the party; not, surely,
because it prevents in a great mea
sure the forestalling by manipulation,
work or money the will of the party,
and placing of demagogues and wire
pullera in nomination instead of hon
est, capable modest men.
How often has every reader of this
article who has been in the habit of
attending conventions, seen the party
saved from the disgrace and infamy
of having to support some hoary
headed old fool, who had, by working
upon the worst passions of their fel
lows, secured, by money, whisky and
promise of patronage, a majority of
the delegates selected to choose the
candidates for the whole party, by
that good old precedent of two thirds
to make a nomination.
It’ this rule is abolished, what is to
hinder the eastern States from walk
ing ofF from the St, Louis Convention
with the candidates for President and
Vice-President, at any moment? Af
ter it is decent to concentrate their
forces, do you, of the South and
West, think they won’t do it?-—that
they are too magnanimous, etc.? If
you do, take warning from the past
twelve years. Has not New York
dictated and demanded the candi
dates three successive times? and
have not her candidates been defeat
ed as often, just simply because not
heartily endorsed by at least two
thirds oftlie delegates, but acquiesced
in because New York threatened to go
Radical if she did not get her way in
the platforms and delegates?
Mr. Seymour was not the choice of
one half the delegates who nominated
him in 1808, and Greeley was not
heartily supported by one third of
the convention that boused that mis
erable üburtkm in 1872,
For our own part, we ure getting
about tired of New York dictation,
Unless it becomes a little more unself
ish; and we are emphatically in favor
of letting ‘'some of the other b".ys try
if awhile.’ 5 If she wishes to cut. her
own throat by going Radical with
her thirty-six Votes, let her go in
“’peace,” and Wc will take in her dtend
Indiana, Wisconsin, loWa, Ohio, and
possibly Michigan and Minnesota,
States that never cun be carried, in
gnl* opinion, for any New England or
New York aristocrat, with the pock
et?" of hiH claw*hammer coat-tail
plethoric With gold-bearing insurance
And bank-stock, shares in large man*
uf&oMmng 'ucmopftiictf, etc. TH y
ait* nl! poiiOhOlts to the interest* of
the planters of the South and the
grain and pork producers of the
West—we mean so long as the}' are
allowed by the general government
to lord it over us, with fifteen or
twenty statutes of class legislation in
their favor, allowing'them to accumu
late wealth at the rate of 25 to 50 per
cent per annum, while we, of the
South and West, oan scarcely earn
an average of 5 per cent on our capi
tal, say nothing of our labor.
If the St. Louis Convention aban
dons the two-thirds rule, Samuel J.
Tilden will undoubtedly be the nomi
nee, aud once more we will be com
pelled to make the canvass with the
masses of the Democratic voters
doubting the sympathies and purpo
ses of their candidate being in accord
with their interests, and Rutherford
Hayes will have an easy travel over
the course to the Presidential Chair
this fall, and we must confess we do
not think we shall be hurt by the re
sult, if the choice is between him and
the money-mongers of the East.
ATLANTA UNIVERSITY FOR THE
COLORED PEOPLE.
We had a pleasant talk at the
Piedmont on Thursday evening -with
J. W. Glenn, President Martin Insti
tute Jefferson, Ga., who was just on
his return from Atlanta, where he had
spent several days as one of the State
board of examiners of the State Uni
versities of Georgia. The Professor
encouraging accounts of the
proficiency and progress of the color
ed students in the university; says
they deport themselves splendidly,
and in many studies they are alike
creditable in the highest degree to
themselves, and their preceptors. The
Prof. noticed, however, that the
brighter the skin the brighter the in
tellect, but this is just what every
man, woman and child in the South
fully know, and it is to be regretted
that tho North do not know as much.
We heartily wish some of our north
ern philanthropists could make the
rounds with this State board of Geor
gia, and see how patiently and indus
triously they are laboring to carry
the freedmen—their former slaves—
forward in education, thus testing
their capacities by the only sensible
method for citizenship, and the priv
ileges they enjoy under freedom.—
Could our maligners and traducers at
the North visit Atlanta, Columbus,
Savannah, Augusta, and many other
cities of Georgia, and see the hun
dreds of good men, like Prof. Glenn,
faithfully at work with their hands,
heads, hearts and mone} r among the
thousands of colored children in the
public schools and universities, they
would hang their heads with very
' shame, and if their hearts are in the
right place, they would go home and
pick up the few.straggling black chil
dren they have among them and emu
tale the southern heathens by educa
< ting them, and putting them to useful
occupations, instead of making them
hewers of wood and drawers of water
f n' 'them for little compensations oth
er than honeyed words and pretend
ed equality. But, thank God, tiie
black man is rapidly finding out
who is his real friend, and a few
years longer will bind him to his
southern friends with ties stronger
than the ship’s cable, and he will
t laugh to scorn the hollow pretentions
of these canting hypocrites that have
wearied them for so many years past.
God is just, and his ways are immu
table. Time will surely vindicate the
South in her treatment of the colored
man.
TEHBIBLE ACCIDENT.
On Tuesday last, as a train on the
Anderson branch of the Greenville
Road was crossing the high trestle at
’ Brodaway the timbers gave way,
precipating the whole train 85 feet to
the water aud rocks below, killing in
stantly conductor Lafoy, engineer J.
M. Wilson, baggage master Kitsinger
und two colored firemen; the third
colored man was found in the wreck
several hours afterward, with both
legs broken and otherwise mangled,
his head was just sticking out of the
water, and he had life enough in him
to tell some of the facts of the terrible
affair, but died very soon after being
released, and now there is no one who
Was on the train left to tell the tale.-
It is said the attention of the Officers
of the roail have had their attention
called to the unsafe condition of the
trestle a number of times within a
few months, If they were properly
nprised >t the fact that it was un
sound, they ought to be hung, and
their property divided out equally
with their own and the children of
Die victims of their gross neglect.

ATI, ANTA CONSTITUTION.
The Constitution takes us to task
tor having intimated last week that
Judge Jurm-s Jackson had been up
here fixing up things a little in the in
terest of Gen. Colquitt for Governor,
and says we did the Judge great in
justice; that he wouldn’t “degrade
his high judicial position,” etc. We
now nay that It in visit was foretold by
a responsible high toned middle Geor
gian, two weeks before the Judge put
in his appearance; that he did just
what that gentleman said he would
do. Went down (if you call it down)
i,o regular court-house-steps and
back-room electioneering with more
than half dozen of onr prominent cit
izens. We think he had a right to do
it if he wanted to, but if the Consti
tution thinks we are mistaken they
had better investigate us, and if they
don’t come out with more Knots than
Blaine did in the dispatch business
we w|ll set up the cheroots.
WHAT NEW YORK THINKS OF
HENDRICKS.
The Democratic organization are
preparing to go to the St. Louis Con
vention, Grand Sachem Schell, Hon.
John Kelly, Hon. Win. R. Roberts,
and other Tammany leaders started
last night. About 400 of the rank
and file of Tautonany Hall will start
frota the Grand Central Depot on
Friday, in a special train of palace
cars, handsomely decorated with flags,
This train is to have the right of-way,
and it is expected will make the
quickest trip on record. The Tam
many headquarters in St. Louis will
be at the Lendell House. Few of tho
delegates favors the nomination of
Gov. Tilden. Their choice is either
Gov. Hendricks or Ex-Gov. Joel
Parker, of New Jersey.—[N. Y. Sun.
It is to be devoutly hoped that the
cry of the rank and file goiug up to
the St. Louis Convention from all over
the laud, will induce that body to give
the common people their choice —
Thomas A. Hendricks for President.
STEALING MINING NEWS.
The Mountain Signal is mistaken
about our stealing any mining news
from them. We have heretofore giv
en them credit for much mining news
that we had on flip before the issue of
their paper, but their paper coming
out on Friday, in advance of ours on
Monday, we have been in the habit of
them with news that we had
the first of the week. No, gentlemen,
we are not obliged to copy anything,
from you atall. Remember wc are lo
cated where everyone of you have to
come to get your own news of any
kind, State, national or general mi
ning news. We only gave you credit
atall as an advertisement, and to en
courage you in your enterprise away
off there in the mountains. But if you
don’t want us to do it we will quit,
and if 3-011 beat us in mining news we
will throw up the sponge and acknowl
edge the corn, that a grapevine beats
a genuine telegraph line. Where did
the Signal get its first item under the
editorial head, that “the Air Line car
ries passengers through from Atlanta
to New York in 40 hours?” Don’t
squeal Brother Neal.
MARIETTA A NORTH GEORGIA
RAILROAD.
Blairsville, Ga., June 17, 1876.
Dear Southron :
Our little village still retains its
s* mi-collapsed condition, owing to
the fact that the tide of population
that recently ebbed ot to the meeting
of the stockholders of the Marietta &
North Georgia Railroad, which con
vened on the 10th inst., near the
North Carolina line, has not yet be
gun to How, and the consequence is
that we are, to usya national expres
sion, just now at low-water mark. As
a natural consequence, every one is
complaining of hard times, and tli
scarcity of money and provisions in
the rural region, But this is a
chronic complaint, which has affect
ed the world ever since old father
Adam was ushered forth from the
garden of Eden, when his mantel of
transgression fell upon his innumera
ble progeny, and still rests on his
people of this day.
But we, the people of this section
are anxiously awaiting the comple
tion of the above-mentioned line of
rail ro id, which is now being vigor
ously put through by 150 convicts,
under the siiperintendance of Gen.
William Phillips, the very efficient
and energetic superintendent of the
road.
The Old North State is now pre
paring to commence the work from
tli* State line and intersect with the
Western Extension, which road is
now partly built in Western North
Carolina. The advantages of this
road, when completed from Marietta,
Ga. to Asheville, N. C., can betler be
imagined than described, especially
with one who is acquainted with the
country through which it will pass,
the completion of this road will in
fuse new life aud energy in our peo
ple, and bring them to a sense of
their duty. The untold mineral re
sources of this country will then be
thoroughly developed, which abounds
in gold, silver, copper, iron, and
many other valuable metals. Our
vast water-powers will then be util
ized by artisans from all sections of
the inhabited globe. Our inexhaust
ible forests of valuable timber can
then be placed on the markets of the
country. In fact, we will then be
brought, as it were, from darkness
into light.
Tho political outlook is rather qui
et. at this time, but everything from a
bailiff’s office to that of Governor is
beginning to impose itself on the
minds of the would-be aspirants. —•
They leel that they could discharge
the duties of the office with a great
deal of dignity. But, unfortunately
for this class of aspirants, thoy are
like the man whom Judge Under
wood once had occasion to speak of,
they have the strongest inclinations
but very limited qualifications.
The gubernatorial race will not be
narrowed down until the convention
meets, which is in August. Then
the nominee will come square to the
front, whoever he may be, although
there is some difference of opinion
among our good people as to who is
the coming man, for Governor, Gens,..
Gartrell and Colquitt aro the most
prominent men spoken of in this sec
tion; though Hardeman aud James
have a few supporters. But it is
charged by some that these two last
named gentlemen are controlled by a
ring who like to be in office all the
time.
But last, though not least, what
do you say, Mr. Editor, about the
coming man to represent us, the peo
ple of the Ninth Congressional Dis
trict, in the 45th Congress of the
United States? In. November next
we will be called on to make another
selection for that important office,
and it behooves us all as an oppres
sed and intelligent people, to make
another wise and judicious selection,
one who is willing and qualified to
represent the interest of the people.
Then the field
small fry, and especially those who
are not known in the political world
outside of their militia district, but
are well known in the financial cir
cles. More anon,
Occasional.
The latest insidious attempt to de
stroy “the yankee nation” by the
southern rebel has been discovered in
a shipment to the north of eleven tons
of cucumbers from Jacksonville, Flor
ida.—[Con stitu tion.
This is an awful and deep-laid plot,
and should call down the wrath of
Morton, Blaine, Hayes, & Cos. But if
our readers will promise to koep it sa
cred until the Yanks have no chance
to thwart us, we will whisper to you
the fact that a company is forming at
this very moment at Augusta and
Jacksonville to ship a whole train
load of watermelons, cabbages and
green beans right into Boston. It is
the intention of the Robs that is get
ting up the scheme to draw out as ma
ny of the Blue Bellies as possible, and
kill the balance with the Florida cot
ic. Don’t cheep until after election
or we will be Ku-Kluckered.
The Indianapolis Sentinel says of
Gov. Hendricks: “The friends of
Mr. Hendricks may feel proud of the
dignified bearing of their candidate
and the diser. tion of those favoring
his nomination. There have been no
men posting over the country, from
State to State, setting up conventions
and paileying with delegates. There
have been no advertisements sent
broadcast over the land to create pub
lic opinion in his favor. He will go
into the convention with a solid, pop
ular strength, secured by sterling
merit, and not that sort of sporadic
reputation that floats upon the
popular breeze stirred by local issues
inside of State lines. He is not es
pecially the Western Candida*.e nor
the Southern candidate, but hasw’arm
and earnest supporters in every sec
tion, and devoted personal friends in
every State.”
The Constitution of Saturday ex
ceedingly regrets the sharp local con
test to take place in Fulton county
that day between Colquitt and James.
Wonder if those regrets are not much
keener now, since the result shows
James 3 or 1 hundred ahead? It don’t
jingle very well with their daily as
sertions, that the whole State is for
Colquitt. The Constitution may pre
pare, in our opinion, to make about
the same kind of a clean sweep with
their Tildcu at St. Louis this week,
which will be a terrible whack on their
present local wound.
The names of Hayes and Wheeler
falls as Hat upon the country as a
sour flapjack upon a cold griddle.—
There is no blood and thunder in the
ticket; no gum in Ilayes; there is
nothing but a sphinx’s head, aud
Wheeler is going to develop a record
that will weary the Rads like the na
tion before the Democrats get through
with him. Even the Rads don’t en
thuse worth a cent, and it will be
sleighing tip hill on dryland for their
party to tote them to the White
House this fall.
The recent blow struck by Mr.
Hicks, the Cable Clerk of the Ocean
Telegraph, will probably raise anoth
er Knot on Maine's head. Let up,
gentlemen, for a while, until some of
the awful Knots he received in the
house of friends at Cincinnati can be
removed by the whitewashing phy
sici ms who have had him in training
for the last three months, he will be
all Knots if yon don’t.
Col. John England is spoken favor
ably of for Senator from the district
comprising Union, Towns, and Ra
bun counties. Col. England would
make a splendid member of the State
Legislature, and we would be glad to
add our mite to forward his election.
The people in the upper district could
do no better, aud a great deal worse,
in our opinion than to elect Col. Eng
land if he will take the office, and the
people want him, we are with him
tooth and nail.
The Centennial, while it is not nor
will not be a financial success, is, nev
ertheless, the grandest exhibition the
world ever saw, or perhaps ever will
see again. No one living who can do
so should miss this great Internat
ional Exhibition. More can be learn
ed at Philadelphia in one month than
could be by five years travel in Eu
rope aud our own country. Let not
prejudice keep you, who can go, from
'this great college of every kind of in
struction, and especially in the mu
■chanics’ arts.
| Hayes, the Republican nominee for
[President. in point of intellect, stands
mbout low ordinary—in cotton phrase
I—is a negative person, has no record
lor good or evil, and never will have,
■unless he should be so unfortunate as
ko be elected, aud fall into the hands
lof Morton, Blaine <k Cos. If this
[should happen he will ue as mud in
[the potter’s lia.'ds, and will make a
[character for inability and want of
[courage to prevent these vultures from
picking the bones of our prostrate
people.
Our magnanimous Ben Hill intro
duced a resolution in the House to
able the Clerk of the House of Repre
sentatives to pay the widow of Gar
nett McMillan, his predecessor from
the Ninth, a sum equal to the salary
of a member of Congress for three
months $1,250, it was agreed to. This
is right, aud is a god-seud to Mrs.
McMillan. Won’t the Eagle give us
a chapter of unfavorable comments 0..
it? They could no doubt clip them
from some of the country papers
north.
Wo are in receipt of a circular, not
the one the Atlanta Constitution talks
so much about, but one notifying the
public that there will be issued in
Hampton, Ga., early in July, a news
paper, the Henry County Weekly, by
Peeples, Maxwell ami Reed. Well we
say bully for Uncle Henry! Send on
your paper, and if it is as good as we
think it will be we will give you ours
for it each week.
There is nothing special from tke
mines this week. The waters have
subsided, and operations resumed in
all the mines with continued success,
and as there is not likely to be any
more Hoods this year mines will go
farward with theii operations, and, as
we believe, abundant success. There
is still quantities of mining machinery
arriving almost daily at our depot.
If the southern delegates but do
themselves and their people justice
they will join the great North-west
and nominate that clear-head, high
minded Statesman, Gov. Hendricks.
He is the only man that can carry
Ohio against llayes, that with the
North-west and a united South elects
him with something to spare.
Thomas A. Hendricks carried In
diana by a majority of eight thous
and, when the State was Radical by
twenty thousand, agaiust ten of the
best stump orators in the Republican
party. He will carry the nation agaiust
twenty times ten, if the St. Louis
Convention will but give him a
chance.
What is the use of the Democrats
of the South and West talking about
being united on the Eastern platform
of hard money? Are we of the South
and West to be as sheep brought
dumb to the slaughter for a fourth
time, and defeated at that? Stand up
gentlemen; pluck will win.
Hendricks and Cox are the men
who can easily win the victory over
Hayes and Wheeler in the coining
canvass. It will be a fatal mistake,
like the two last nominations, if they
are not selected by the Democracy
this week at St. Louis.
Republican Imrd-mouey organs in
the West show signs of weakening.—
The Chicago Tribune and Cincinnati
Gazette both declare the Resumption
Act empty and inoperative, and call
for its repeal.
Winslow, the Bouton thief, has
been released by the British Govern
ment. T..ia action on their part is
thought by the American Cabinet to
abrogate the extraditian treaty be
tween the two governments.
II* !■■
Whoever is nominated for Vice-
President at St. Louis, there ought to
be no doubt in an intelligent southern
man’s mind that Hendricks should be
t he nominee for President.
To Hon. B. 11. Hill belongs the
honor of.starting Blaine down hill in
time to get him past the center so
that he could not recover in time for
the Cincinnati Convention.
Mr. Cox has been chosen Speaker
of the House pro tern again. This
tells what kind of a President of the
Senate he would make.
Let the St. Louis Convention be a
unit for Hendricks. He ought to be
chosen on the first ballot, thus enthu
siastically uniting the South aud
great Weat.
