THE SOUTHRON. F. I. LAW SHE, Editor. TUESDAY WORKING, JUNE 27, 1876. 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.
