As I am no longer your candidate
for die Senate, I deem it due to you to
issue this address, explaining the cir
cumstances under which I have ceased
to be so.
When I accepted the trust from the
party, mutual pledges were made. It
was well known that victory could only
be won by united and harmonious co
operation with the candidate of the
party, and this was pledged to me. On
my part, I promised that zealous, ener
getic action, both of body and mind, in
the campaign, which would be actuated
by the sineerest devotion to the princi
ples of the party that had thus honored
me. How well that pledge has been
redeemed up to the day of thceeasing of
my candidacy, I do not fear to risk the
impartial judgment of the part}'. As
to the manner in which the party has
redeemed its pledge to its candidate, I
have no charges to prefer against it. but
fl^ly.to point to those facts and circum
stances which are necessary to the vin
dication of my own course, and I trust
may also he a vindication of that large
number of the party, particularly in my
own county, Mitchell, by whose action
I have been induced to pursue the course
that I have.

B. F. Bruton, of Decatur, was and had

THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.
The election passed off’ quietly—
very quietly. The city was thronged
With negroes the entire day who
turned out in full force to support
the Radical ticket. The whites, we
arc sorry to say, did not manifest
much interest, but were indifferent,
hence the result.
There is no douot but that much
ijlcgal voting was done at this pre-
omet; and especially did many ne-
f^rocs vote who had not paid their
taxes, though they were provided
with receipts by Shuck Hampton
who took upon himself the duties of
Tax Colloctor, and gave receipts
promiscuously. In some cases lie
received the money, which, wo pre
sume, lie will never account for vol
untarily. All of his receipts have
been filed away and he will be
brought to judgment on them.

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.
. This is the next election in which the
vital interests of the State of Georgia
arc directly involved. It takes place on
the 5th of November, n little over one
month hence.
In the 2d Congressional District the
race will be very close, and hence a hot
ly contested ono. The leader of the
Democratic party, Gen. G. J. Wright,
is doing his whole duty; but he, alone,
cannot be successful. The rank and
file of the party must work harder than
ever before if we triumph.
Major Wliitefey, the Radical candi
date, is about the shrewdest politician
in the District, and his ability is un
questionable. The quicker those who
dp not know him recognise these facts,
the better—for we assure them that
Whiteley is no fool, and nothing can
beat him £ive the utmost energy and
perseverance on the part of the Dem-
4. T. F. Newell, I been for sortie time previously, a Liberal
Republican candidate for the Senate.—
Soon after my nomination, Hon. Israel
Maples, of Mitchell, my own county,
announced himself as an independent
candidate for the same office. There
were therefore n<tw three candidates in
the field, each drawing their supporf
from the Democratic-Conservative party,
The Liberal Republican independent
candidate unassisted by circumstances,
may not have drawn such a large share
of support from our own party as to
have occasioned alarm for the success of
the party candidate; but there were cir
cumstances to assist aim. There was
dissatisfaction amounting to opposition
to my candidacy in my own county.—
(The reasons need not be givfen here; it
is enough that it weakened the support
of the party candidate.) For good rea
sons this dissatisfied element did not
align itself with the independent candi
date in Mitchell, Mr. Maples, but. with
the supporters of Major Bruton.
This, added to Mr. Bruton’s strength
already acquired iii tire county* nccessa
rily gave him a very large and influen
tial support in Mitchell county.
The influence thus acquired in Mitch
ell county soon commenced to he felt in
Decatur county, and he began ’conse
quently more largely to draw from the
support, of the party candidate on the
idea of liis being the strongest man in
the field. However erroneous this im
pression might have been, it was never
theless felt and excited alarm in the
party, especially in the counties of Deca
tur and Mitchell. This alarm was man
ifested by personal appeals coming thick
and fast from both counties, for a com
promise by which but one candidate
should occupy the field.
All of the compromises tendered to
rue I constantly refused, saying that a
compromise could only he made with
the party that had made me its candi
date; that I could not act for myself,
but proposed for the sake of harmony
to resubmit my candidacy to the party
of the District.
In the midst of all these disputes and
wranelings in the party, late in the cam
paign, the Radical candidate for the
Senate, B. F. Brimberry of Mitchell,
was announced. This culminated the
excitement in the counties of Mitchell
and Decatur.
The Radical candidate was a sharp,
wiry man, and from this very fact the
more dangerous from his known want of
political character.
From being so strong a Democrat that
he thought negroes had no souls and
would furnish guns to kill them at the
Camilla difficulty, he had turned for
office to be the most rampant Radical,
and there was no danger to the State
and her people and the good order, the
peace and prosperity of Mitchell county
that her citizens did not fear from such
a source. Now came not only requests,
hut strong appeals, yes. almost demands
from the county of Mitchell on the can
didate of the party, and her own inde-
oeraey.
At this writing—Wednesday—the pendent candidate, to submit to some
first election of the campaign is pro
gressing. How it will be decided, wc
arc at a loss to conjecture—but there is
great apathy manifested by the Dem
ocracy, which, if not shalcen off, we fear
will ultimately damn the party, and se
cure Georgia to the perpetual domina
tion of Radicalism.
J)emoerats, -arouse 1 think on th<^
glory of your past achievements—and
nerve yourselves up for one more dead
ly conflict with the monster of political
curses, Radicalism. Elect Wright and
the 2d District will have been redeemed.
compromise that the Radical candidate
might be defeated. It was further urg
ed on them that a failure to settle the
Senatorial difficulty would perpetuate
these feuds in the county, which would
effect the election for Representatives
in the county.
An appeal in reference tg the effect
of two candidates in the field on the
election for the Legislature also eame
from Decatur county. In the county of
Mitchell the feeling was intense and al
most unanimous. Those friends who
had stuck to me the closest began to
yield under the pressure, until it ap
peared few were left, or at least very few
gave enaouragement. Jndgc Maples
yielded to the voice of his county, but
withdrew in favor of the other indepen
dent candidate, Major Bruton. The
pressure was more directed on the party
candidate, and I began to feel that I
might he acting more from self-pride
than for my country’s and my party’s
good, in thus withholding my consent to
submit to the appeals for compromise,
coming almost unanimously from the
party of my own county, and so large a
portion of the party in Decatur.
What was I to do ? It was now late
in the campaign—not many days to the
election. The party in the three counties
could not he consulted.
I consented to what appeared to me
the best method of getting at the views
of the party.
An arbitration was called to be com
posed of four from each county, two
chosen by the independent candidate,
Major Bruton, and two by myself.
. This day, Friday, was chosen as the
day for the arbitrators to meet.
ffhe arbitrators chosen by myself from
Miller refused to act, and the arbitration
failed.
Another appeal was made late in the
day by the friends of a settlement. The
Mitchell county delegation said they
could not return without the news that
there was only one candidate in the field.
I scut the terms proposed this time to
my strong party friends who had steadily
opposed a settlement on party principle,
among them Col. Fleming, Chairman of
the Party Executive Committee, Deca
tur county.
His auswer to me was that he could
not advise me as a party man, for my
action in such a. matter could not he
binding' on the party; hut that he saw
the difficulty—without compromise he
believed defeat inevitable, and that he
thought I could without dishonor or the
betrayal of party, under the circum
stances, submit the question to.arbitra-
tion, which would simply amount, if de r
cided against me, to my withdrawal and
not imposing a candidate on the party.
That arbitration by the umpire of
Capt. Geo. W. Lewis, decided against
me, and in favor of Major B. F. Bruton
of Deeatur county.
There are now but two candidates in
the field, Major B. F. Bruton, the Lib
eral Republican, who has in this contest
certainly developed a strong support
from and hold on the confidence of the
Democratic party; and B. F. Brimbej-
fy, a most unprincipled and dangerous
Radical. •
At the time of taking the steps by
which I have been retired from the con
test, I had heard nothing to make me
suspect that Major Bruton would be
objectionable to any large portion of the
Democratic Conservative party, drat on
the contrary much to suppose that par-
ticulaaly in Decatur county, for local
reasons especially, he would have been
the favorite. I am consoled, however,
by the reflection that I. have done no
harm to the party. If I had continued
in the field, the Radical Brimbery would
have been elected. If two candidates
remain in the field, it cannot happen
worse than the election of Brimberry—
it may happen for the better by the
election of Major Bruton. I will myself
give Major Bruton my hearty support,
and can sec' no hope of success save in
the party’s doing the same.
If I had not thought there was a
choice between the candidates that
would have been left in the field I could
not hive taken the course that I have,
unless for the local reasons existing in
my own county.
The reasons for my course are now
explained, and I hope satisfactorily. I
have done nothing that my conscience,
patriotism and judgment do not approve
and I do not fear to appeal from the
record as it is made to tfie conscience,
patriotism and jugdment of the party.
I cannot close without saying one
word in reference to party unity.
Let this case stand upon its own
merits. Let it. not he a precedent to he
appealed to in the future. The circum
stances that created the necessities for
my action might have been avoided if
love of party honor and discipline had
controlled personal feuds and local pre
judices. Let us guard against the same
error in the future.
If the fruits of my defeat and humil
iation from the want of party loyalty
shalT conduce to the good of the party,
I will rejoice at my sacrifice.

easy going. The wheels are manufac
tured by bringing a pressure of o50
tons upon sheets of common straw pa
per, which is turned perfectly
round and the hub forced into a hole in
the centre, this requiring a pressure of
twenty-five tons weight. The tire is of
steel and" requires a one-quarter inch
bevel upon its inner edge, thus allowing
the paper felling to be forced in’, 250
tons pressure being required in the
process. Two .iron plates, one upon
each side of the paper are bolted t<*reth-
er, which prevents the possibility of the
fillings coming out. The tire rests upon
the paper only and partakes of its, elas
ticity in consequence. Although these
wheels are much more expensive than
those in common use, the patentee
claims that they are cheaper in the end.

WIFE.
Among the good stories told of Mr.
Greeley, hfs rff>minati<m__for the
Presidency has called forth, is the fol
lowing, which is in no way compliment
ary to his chirography. l r ears ago
when a young man, he received a poem
from a young lady in Vermont. lie
strongly suspected that all poetry was
nonsence, especially if the lines did not
square at both ends, and as this particu
lar poem did not come up to his pecu
liar mechanical standard for such litera
ture, he threw it into the waste basket,
and wrote to the author that he thought
she would do better to marry the first
honest man that offered her his hand
and mend his hose and tend liis babies,
than to raek her brain in trying to write
rhymes that nobody would read. The
poor girl recieved the cruel letter, but
could decipher only the writer’s name.
She showed it to her mother^ and she
was too nonplussed. A council of inquiry
was held over the strange document,
which was finally interpreted as a pro
posal to marry the gifted author of the
rejected rhymes. After some inquiry
into the character of Mr. Greeley, the
proposal was accepted, greatly to the
surprise of the young editor, who was
so much pleased with the prize he had
won that he bought the white hat and
overcoat he has worn ever since, and
was married forthwith.
AN EXPERIMENT WITH PAPER
CAR WHEELS.
The Springfield Republican says the
Connecticut River Railroad Company is
about introducing, for trial, a set of pa
per car wheels under the forward trucks
of one of the engines. These wheels
have been known to car-builders for
some time, but the deihand for them
has been moderate on account of their
cost, notwitstanding the universally
LETTER FROM MAJ. BRUTON.
Jo Tiie Voters of the 8th Sena
torial District :
My attention has been called to a
communication, cfv'cr the signatures
of J. W. Curry, Chairman, ahd Gor
don Bradweil, Secretary, which
states that I “acted in concert with
Bullock, Blodgett & Clews in the
Senate, in getting issued the million
of dollars of fraudulent bonds, ” and
that I as proven by n>y votes am
“in favor of sustaining these illegal
bonds and thus bankrupting the
State for all time to come.” In ref
erence to it, I beg to say that my
young friends are mistaken.
Let us examine the reasons for
my votes by which they pi-opose to
prove the charge. I voted against
the appointment of the Committee
to investigate bonds because the ac
ting Governor informed the General
Assembly, and I believed, that there
was sufficient information then on
hand to enable' it properly to dis
pose of the bond question. I still
believe so'and now think that it
would have been wise to have saved
the State the cost of the Committee,
which has been about $15,000. But
it is said I voted against the bills of
this committee. My vote and effort,
as the record will prove, was to sub
mit the question of legality or illegal-,
ity of the bonds issued and indorse
ments to the Supreme Court of Geor
gia. It is a Democratic Court. Arc
entlemen afraid to trust • it ? My
reason for wishing to- submit the
question to the Supreme Court was
to get it out of the Legislature and
politics, and thus in the most ap
propriate way finally dispose of a
matter that might, with its corrupt
ing influences, from the amount in
volved, disturb the legislation of the
State for fifty years to come. Clews
& Co., I imagine would be the last
to desire the courts to pass on. the
question, and to finally and irrevo
cably settle it. Was I wrong in this ?
Another charge made outside, is
DEVILS.
We are informed that a party of men
and women from Ohio have recently
come South for the purpose of holding
a series of campmeetings for the ne
groes. They are fitted up with all the
necessary equipments, as tents, etc., and
monejC TRcj-nTc'eoon wtra—iUHtrnml
by others of like ilk to engage in the
same cause. They are ostensibly en
gaged in preaching the gospel. They
make no concealment of the fact that
they intend to preach social equality.
They are, and all like-them, worse than
devils. They are * campaigning for
Grant. They are assisted by Southern
men, who make appointments and draw
crowds of negroes. They visit the
South at a time when, to take the ne
gro from the field, will cause a loss of
one-third 1 to one-half of the non-gather-
e*d crop. They will sow seeds of dis
cord that will only be eradicated by t-he
grave, and the negro in the grave. They
are a curse to the country, and the
back of every honest man’s hand should
be turned against them. They are
clerical devils: hyenas; sent. South to
rob the people, white and black, of the
little peace and prosperity that Grant
has allowed them during the past few
months.—Rome Commn-ciul.
I gave the order to transmit to him
.the mark at my esteem. Colonel
Butler sent-word to me that if I de
corated Colonel Allen he would be
come my personal and political etie
my. Not liking scandals, I sent
word to Butler to withdraw his mes
sage, vfhich lie did. Instead of act
ing in this way as Consul General
he should have thanked me when I
decorated an American. Then he
threatened General Stone.. I caused
General Stone to inform the Wash
ington Cabinet immediately of what
was taking place, because I knew by
experience that Consul-General do
not always report the truth to their
governments. The result was hand
some. Butler was called to account
by his government. Enraged he
wrote three letters—one to me, one
to Nufar Pacha, one to Sherif Pacha
—demanding when “General Stone
was appointed Minister of Foreign
Affairs.” I demanded their imme
diate withdrawal; they were with
drawn. In fact I have been the
American Consul here. Finally the
aflair culminated in the proclama
tion in wmcir Trunur, tmuugu
tool, published Stone a coward, &c.
General Stone is not only capable
and thorough as the chief of the
Egyptian army, but he is capable to
be the chief of staff of any army in
the world. He is not only a gentle
man and a learned gentleman and a
soldier, but he is an honorable gen
tleman and an honorable soldier.
The Khedive* spoke in high terms
General' Starring. His Highness
had seen our American Minister at
Constantinople, and he described
him as a most charming person,
charging me to bear His Highness’
compliments to Mr. Boker upon my
arrival at Constantinople.
STA TE AID—HO WA’ NORTHERN
DEVELOPER BUILT A RAIL
ItOAD IN A RKANSAS.
A corespondent of the Tribune
writing from Arkansas about the
workings of the carpet bag govern
ment in that State, tells of an enter
prising man who desired to obtain
some of- the railroad bonds with the
endorsement of the State for his
own benefit. He therefore borrowed
a quantity of rails and proceeded to
lay them upon a certain incomplete
railroad. When ten miles had been
laid he obtained a quantity of bonds,
in accordance with law, and he then
proceeded to pull up the rails and
relay them upon the next ten miles
and received a second lot of bonds.
This process he repeated, until lie.
had gone over and ‘ ‘completed” the
entire hundred miles or so of the
road, by ten mile sections, when he
pulled up the rails for the last time
and returned them to the owners,
and went rejoicingly on his. way,
leaving the road as he found it. -
This is rough, but Arkansas net
ted as much from these bonds as
Georgia has for some now afloat
through the kindness of Bullock,
Clews & Co., and bearing her en
dorsement.
It is announced that within a few
days the New York Herald will de
clare Tor Greeley and Brown.. The
Utica (New York) Observer says:
It has been knowS for some time
that Mr. Bennett, representing, as
he does, immense business interests,
desired the election of Horace Gree
ley to the Presidency. But he never
permits his’personal preferences to
govern the course of his paper. He
makes no secret of the fact that the
Herald always endeavors to reflect
rather than create public sentiment.
Thoroughly convinced now that the
voice of the people demands the
election of the Liberal Lepublican
candidates, the Herald will give the
cause a support that will be felt far
and wide.
BEAST B UTLER'S NEPHEW.
A correspondent of the New York
Herald has had a long interview
with Ismail Pacha, the Khedive of
Egypt, in which that potentate thus
speaks of Butler, the late Consul
General of the United States to
that I Introduced a resolution to Egypt, whose remarkable antics
provide for sending troops in our
midst. The resolution referred to
was just the one to avoid such a ca
lamity, and not a word of complaint
has been heard against me -on ac
count of it until now. Think of that,
please. It was in the pojver of
Bullock with military at his back at
the capitol to send out soldiers into
communities at his own will. This
resolution (read it yourselves; pre
vents his doing so except upon the
affidavit of the sheriff of the comity
have partly been made public before.
The Khedive said:
To speak frankly, .we have a very
painful affair here. You know Con
sul General Butler's career in Egypt.
Let me tell you something about its
close. I had in my service an
American officer, a Colonel Allen.
He was about to leave Egypt be
cause of the poor health of his wife.
In my service he had been distin
guished and faithful, and had been
recommended to me for decoration.
FOUL PLAY.
It seems that the recent investigation
into the affairs of a junk dealer here is
bringing to light strange developments.
We have already mentioned in another
article the progress of the search yester
day. It will be remembered that the
commencement of this affair was caused
by an application from Mr. David Sy
mons to recover certain property—
pumps, iron, &c., &c.—alleged to be in
the possession of Dennis Cornell, and
which had been stolen from the ship
Maggie Sheffle. Mr Symons employed
to watch this vessel a bright mulatto,
about nineteen years of age, in whom lie
placed considerable confidence. On the
night the things were stolen, however,
the watchman disappeared, and nothing
more was heard of him. Of course the
only inference was that he had ’ stolen
the goods or was an accomplice with
others. This impression, or supposition,
events have proved to be erroneous, and
it appears that the boy stood to bis post
faithfully.
Yesterday noon the body of a colored
man was seen floating in the water near
the wharf, foot of East Broad street,
which, on being grappled and hauled
onshore, proved to be the body of the
private watchman on the Maggie. There
was a severe gash in his side and several
large bruises across his head and a bul
let-hole in the temple, besides other
marks of violence. It is apparent that
the boy was overpowered by the thieves
who earried off this property, murdered
and thrown into the river. The matter
is in the hands of shrewd fyid efficient
officers, and it is to be hoped that the
perpetrators of this crime and robbery
may be apprehended and brought to
ustice.—Morning Hews.
