practice of the present House, by which
the Republicans, by a two-thirds vote,
have been able to suspend the rules and
p; ss measures by tho same voto withont
allowing debate. Mncli vicious legislation
has been thus enacted by tho dictum of
party rule. The military election bill,
which has figured so prominently, was
passed by the House in that way in do
fiance of the protest of tho minority.—
There will at least be no such exhibitions
of indecent legislation iu the next Con

result of the elections will insure a Con

suppression of sncli traffic.
There is much wholesome advice con
tained in the above resolutions, aud wo
shall be more than glad to see the plant-
of this county aud State enter hearti
ly into the movement. Beyond a doubt
i step in the right direction. The
time has corno when the planters must
unite and work together, and protect their
own iuterests. They have'neglected this
too long already, and the quicker they be
gin the more money they will save.
Up to this time tho combination has
only existed among the cotton aud pro
vision speculators. The people—the pro
ducers—have stood silently by and per
mitted these Shy locks to dictate terms.
This is all wrong. All tho profit in
ton, outside the manufacturer, belongs to
the planter and he should have it, aud he
w ill] have it if the proper steps are taken.
Let [organizations be formc-d in every
county, let small crops of cotton and
large crops of corn bo planted, let tho
planter get out of debt and stay out, aud
then the speculator can be managed. Un
til this is done the planters must remain
the power of the speculator. Again
i commend the resolutions.

' ‘The Plundered Tax Payers.”
This is the caption of an article of
Governor Bullock in his organ, howling
extravagauoo against Jenkins’ adminis
tration. ' . ,
Why in tho name of common sense
don’t the Governor answer the charges
against his own administration ?
However, wo will take him on his own
ground.
He says Governor Jenkins increased
the Stato debt $4,000,000 in two years.
Yes, aud nearly every dollar of it went
to restore the State Hood, that had been
totally destroy«id by the war. And after
your administration Las been iu posses
sion of the road, getting it in good or
der, for over two years with the best
business it ever enjoyed, you havo so run
tdown os to make it necessary for you to
beg for half a million dollars to put it in
order, and that without paying a dollar
into tlie Treasury in eight months. And
$004,000 of that Jenkins' debt Gov. Bun-
EEOOVED himself from the Bank
of the Jlepublic in Heir York, anil has
used.
But how about tbe three million and a
half of bonds issued by Governor Bullock
in the last three mouths ? How about
the State credit being so degraded that
one million and a quarter of bonds was
issued, and only two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars so far paid into the
State Treasury of the loan ? How about
nearly two million of gold bonds issued
to pay four hundred thousand dollars of
debts duo and falling due ?
Bullock and Jenkins ! Let us com
pare farther.

Governor Bullock has spent over $70,-

against $1,070 a year for Jenkins. Who

Bullock has spent $23,531 in feeing

that should have been done by the At

We have no item of the sort against Jeuk-

Bullock spent $32,323 for Executive

against $9,402 for Jenkins in the same
time, and against $8,575 for Gov. Brown.

The New York Herald, intending to be
very funny, has this editorial paragraph :
“ An imposing array of ancient Confed

In the Presidential election of 1S68, the
Radicals carried Greene county, Alabama,
by 2,458 majority. In 1S70 Lindsay,

We print elsewhere tho address of
Col. Nelson Tift, our candidate for Con
gress. There is good advico contained
in it and wc advise all to read it and car

VtQ. We have been informed that, on
flie 5th inat., Glen Mozely, a little son of
G. O. Mozely, pf Salt Springs, Cobb
county,-while playing in his father’s cot
ton seed, in attempting to turn a somer
set had Ilia neck broken. When found
he had his head stuck in the seed and was
quite dead.
Tie desires r.o*\ to retn
humble walks of pi-vale life, quite satis

But like Judge B-!!. he lias his friends,
yea, his own kindred, who are still ambi
tions, still aspiring. His sou, a boy of
three years, is now wanting boots,
ponie s and moustaches, looking forward
to a seat in the Kimball House.
At the meeting on the 15th of Sepl
lrer last, the Judge favored and rulv
ted Democrats plan, und certainly he
must have undergone a very radical
change. He mst have discovered that
his plans would bo frustrated and h
object thwarted. Otherwise, why should

county meeting? Why should hop

This is a time-honored custom which has

But what will proceed from tho plan
now proposed by the Judge ? Among
the Democrats there are many aspirants,
and each law his friends and supporters.
The whole people, irrespeolf
color, or politics, are invited to Preston
on the 17th of this month to elect

Again nominated for election to Con
gress, by the unanimous voice of a Con
vention, as one of the standard bearers
of the Democratic party, I would call
your attention to the importance of the
election, which is to be held on the 20th,
21st and 22d of December, for a member
of Congress, members of tho Legislature
and county officers.
The present condition- of the countty
i bordering upon irretrievable disaster
The Radical party now' iu power has
violated tho Constitution, subverted the
rights of the States, destroyed the
sacred guarantees of personal lib
erty and the freedom of elections; have
impoverished the people by heavy and
unequal taxation; squandered the public
land and treasure to enrich monopolies
and partisan favorites, and havo estab
lished military despotism over peaceful
communities and States to force them to
tho accomplishment of their selfish, cor
rupt aud tyrannical designs. No honest
citizen can speak or think of the action
and pre.seu condition of our State Govcm-
mentwithout feelings of sorrow and in
dignation for tho past, and apprehension
for tho future.
With nn unscrupulous Executive and
a Legislature organized by a corrupt
“ring,” co-operating with a United
States Military Court, packed with
who were not elected by the people, their
course lias been marked by bad laws,
extravagance, corruption, a disregard of
the Constitution, and of tho rights and
interest of tho people.
Two years more of such rule would
bring ruin and bankruptcy to all the
great interest of the State, and would
destroy tlie hope of socuring constitution
al liberty in the future. Our opponents
are at work day and night iu tho “ Loyal
Leagues” and “Republican Clubs,”
orderingnnd controlling their oath-bound
colored men as their political slaves, send
ing their emissaries over the country to
propagate falsehoods and misrepresenta
tions, and to incite enmity and hatred
between the white and colored people.—
The colored people should be convinced
that their civil and political rights arc
secured to them in tlie same manner, and
to tho sams extent as the rights of the
white people, and that having a common
interest m the welfare and propel ty of
the State, we should work together and
elect good men to office, and secure an
honest an economical administration of
the Government. They need instruction
as to their rights and interests, and they
need protection against the tyranny and
threats of violence from their Radical
drivers. Lot this be a part of our duty.
People of Georgia I let us make an effort
worthy of the great cause for which
contend. Let no personal sacrifice stand
in tho way of our duty to save the State
from the evils which surround us and
threaten our destruction. Every man
should be a missionary; every communi
ty should be a unit. There should be no
division upon candidates, or otherwise.
A single vote may determine our fate.—
Let every man be at the polls. Finally,
let us offer our earnest prayers and best
efforts to the Almighty Ruler of men and
nations lor the salvation of our beloved
State.
If not providentially prevented, I will
address the people at tho following times
and pluces, and I invite my opponent,
Major Wliitely, to meet me and discuss
tho questions involved in the election:
Georgetown, Monday, Nov. .21.
Newton, Tuesday, Nov. 22.
Morgan, Thursday, Nov. 24.
I will make appointments in other
counties as soon as I can determine when
I can attend them.

lis of a Southern State, beneath whoso
soil repose the ashes of tho illustrious sire
of tlie more illustrious son, when the very
weight of public sorrow bad droyped tho
gorgeous ensign of our country down to
half must,-there flashed from the national
Capital an order to insult tho dead and
haul that standard up to full most! But
methinks as the reluctant lightning
nonneed that message, the very winds of
heaven that shook those agitated folds,
murmured their remonstrance, and those
glorious stars, as they unwillingly mount
ed upwards, hid their bright eyes for
shame, and those proud colors blushed
to a deeper crimson at tho heartless aud
ignoble deed.
Oh vos, xay countrymen, whatever
power may do to surpress tlio expression
of our heart's emotion, here, I tell yon
wherever in the earth’s wide limits tni6
intelligence shall come, tho flag of hu
manity will flutter down the half mast,
and the ' world’s great unbidden heart
will beat its dead march for tho mighty
fallen. Aye, far out in tho solitude,
under tho cold, dark shadow of tho liocky
mountains, where the free winds sing
their wild song over tho flowery waves
of the North-Western prairies, the Ravage
Red Cloud, when he hears the news, will
bow his eagle plumes in homage to the
Chieftain whom tho Great Spirit liasi
moned to the skies ; and far across the
wide seas, in civilization’s central blaze,
around tlio towers aud Rpirea and palaces
of earth’s most splendid city, when these
tidings shall come there, the crowned
hemlet of William the conqueror, amid
his steel-clad hosts, will be lifted from
royal head in reverence of one whose
genius and whose virtues have mode him
tfie brother and peer of kings 1

K*3X-A medical journal explains how
warts comes. “The pdpilomata (wart,
condylomatn, epithelioma) originate es
sentially in an active neoplastic process
taking place in the reto, which penetrates
to a greater or less extent into the like
wise hypertrophied connective-tissu mat
rix of the coriun. The papillio of the
cutis here, too perform only a passive
role, their elongation and dendritic form
being occasioned by the hypertrophy of
the epidermis ; while the elevation o(.,the
surface of the skin is duo to the hypertro
phy of both. ”
