Editor.—The great election am is oveT, and we of the South will quietly settle down nnder onr < and fig tree. A nobleman, the superb Hancock, is shelved to make room fot a sharply defined sectional agitator. The National Democratic party ia in its death throes, and we of the South must be wise enongh to properly take in the situation, so that we may throw around ns safeguards for the future. Down heTe, we heartily indorse yoni late position, that instead of a solid South upon Democratic principles, work and form a National party upon which will ultimately drive from power an unscrupulous sectional party It is a pity that on the eve of i great Presidential election onr foremost men cannot act with discretion. Wade Hampton has been a stumbling block to us, aud it is truly believed that his unwise utterances went far to “cripple” ns in the recent gallant fight we made. A man’s record as a brave Confederate soldier don't, and should not.Jsavc him from sharp criticism, if he deserves it Living issues are now before us. It i a happy thought, that the great com monwealth of Georgia, an empire it itself, guided as she hat always beei by “wisdom, justice and moderation,’ will contiue to grow in her greatness, and unmindful of designing politicians, in the prond assertion of her sovereign ty, will ever continue to be a “land mark” for all that is pure in social as well as in political life. The little fam ily quarrel we had a short time since is now entirely forgotten, and wc are to day in unison upon everything that will enhance the greatness of Georgia. Now, for something local and per- DAWSON. Onr little town a few days ago was enlivened by Coup’*circus, and it was a great day in the minds of the men, women and children. At least six thousand people were upon onr streets —four thousand of that number visited the circus in the afternoon. The best of order prevailed—hut little drunk enness. The members of the troupe im pressed every one favorably by their deportment, and led us to realize the fact that, “a gentlemanly cirens” with us. They lost one of their while here, who died snddeuly from heart disease. The bnrial cere monies in the afternoon were imposing. a in full uniform escorting the o the grave, followed by the ladies and gentlemen of the troupe, and citizens of the place. At the grave a solemn dirge was played by the bands and an address delivered by one of the company; after which, the Rev. W. M. Hayes, pastor of the Methodist church here, read the bnrial service, then followed the closing up of the grave—wending onr way sorrowfully from the grave of the “stranger.” COL. 8. WISE PARKED. This gentleman is rusticating among i. He hears his defeat like a hero. Wise is a clever fellow, and with any amount of hard sense, and though on the other line ot politics from ns, yet, he is universally liked here. The Col onel got more than a complimentary vote, and hia lateness entering the race may have operated against him. COL. JAMES O. TASKS.

Ectaw. ;o the Congressional The article.states that the-tail of tile Republican ticket, meaning Colonel Parker, was scratched*Hike tl* d—1” in .Sumter county. 'I understand that, this is true, and that it was owing in part to the opposition of. Colqnel .lack Brown, who, 1 ara reliably iuform_ed, worked against Parker. I am also ad vised that llepablican electoral tick* with my name omitted were obtained and put iu circulation. I cannot at this writing say positivelywho did this, hut I strongly suspicion Col. Jack Brown. I ara unwilling to believe that General Phil Cook, the Ilemochitic ndmincc for Congress, whom I ardently opposed, would attack me in suclt a small way. Bnt says the article “the Republicans now attribute their misfortune to one Wm. P. Pierce, of Camilla, notoriety, a carpet-bagger from Indiana, a clerk it the Postoflice Department in Washing ton, and a quadrennial visitor of ‘Lee county.” These epithets regarding my residence, from Colonel Brown, in the face of circumstances well known tothe citizens of Americus, sink into little ness and contempt among a people of refined and manly feelings. The pcqple of Lee county know full well that I set tled there before the reconstruction acts were passed and with no purpose to en gage in politics of to seek office. They know all about my settlement there and all about the character of my sojourn here, and never have they challenged my vote nor called in question the full est enjoyment of my rights as a bona fide resident of that county. And at the late election in Lee, where Garfield received a fair election and a majority of four hundred and fifty-two votes, I ran ahead of the remainder of the Re publican electoral ticket by reason of complimentary votes from among nty Democratic friends. .e, says the article, speaking of my- convcned his committee at llawk- ille, and “soliloquized thus, ‘well, there is Brown, who has abaudoued the and left the State—by the by, we will take Parker,’ etc. “This solilo quy being satisfactory to his mind, he prevailed upon his committee toendorse Parker.” 1 have, Mr. Editor, been otherwise accused of nndnly prejudicing the committee against Colonel Brown, and forcing Colonel Parker upon the Republican party of the District, and J have plainly denied it by letter to Col. Brown. Bnt what are the facts of the i, you remember, a con mittee created by the Republican Dii trict convention to take charge of the matter of running a candidate for Con gress. 1 was made chairman of it, al though I was not present hut was here in Washington at the time. It met Hawkinsville, October 12,1880. Ci Parker was not my first choice. He a I both urged another gentleman to ! his name go before the committee, hut we were not successful. Under the cir cumstances the committee unanimously endorsed Colonel Parker without being “prevailed” upon to do so. A resolu tion was passed expressing trust in hit “ability, integrity aud patriotism” and advising the Republicans of the district to support him. T favored Colonel Parker, but I cannot now call to min that I said anything whatever again. Colonel Rrown. 1 did not soliloquize that he had “abandoned the l left the State;” though f may l iloquized that he had been on at Americus and had left there. I had understood that he wanted to run I Congress, hut 1 did.not consider th he was fully in the race for Congrei and hence 1 could not have considered that he had abandoned the race. A man must first get into a race before he can abandon it. It would appear,how ever, from the article in question, that Colonel Brown was in the race for Con gress at the time of the committee meet ing and “promptly withdrew as soon as he received information of the endorse ment” of Colonel Parker by the commit tee. This may he true. A man may be a candidate for Congress within him self or talk it to his friends. Yet prac tically speaking, in these days of news paper circulation, his candidacy is usu ally dated by the public from the time he announces himself in the papers, and I never heard of such announcement from Colonel Brown till several days after the committee meeting when the following telegram appeared in your pa per under the caption of tho fruits, of the victory we have lately won in a desperate figh*, we will carry Georgia'for General Grant.” We have elected our Governor—we have adopted onr Constitution, and we have elected both branches of the General Assembly. We desire the Senate <o amend the Honso bill that passed the other day, so as to allow Govern Bullock to Ctmvfene his Legislature tqp day's notice, let him be inaugurated, le£ them agt /and they will adopt the constitutional amendments and then let them elefit Senators and receive us into Congress and give us control of dhe State Government and its jmtron- dge tchich tee fought for and iron an urhich ice must have if we are to su< ceed in this contest.
