I September 27, 1S72. } 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. At the time of my nomination, Major B. F. Bruton, of Decatur, was and had A. M Rogers, L. J. Alfred, 7. R. A. Alston. Second Congressional District—For Congress: GEN. GILBERT J. WRIGHT, . Of Dougherty. 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. The Jesuit in Deeatur is the de- Ipat of the Democracy, but wc can oniy give the figures of the Bain- bridge precinct. For Governor- Walker, Rad., 600; Smith, Dcm., 361; Radical majority, 239. For Sonator—Brimberry, Rad., 590; Brnton, Dcm., 323; Bush, Ind., 37; Brimborry’s majority over both, 230. For Representatives—Sweq.rengcn, Rad., 600; gutts, Deui., 361; Swear ingen’s majority, 239; Nicholson, Rad. negro, 592; Butler, Dcm., 354; maj. for Nicholson, 248. If Miller and Mitchell counties give large Democratic majorities, Bruton may bo clectod to the fjenate. 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. Truly, your ob’t servant, B. H. Gee. admitted fact that they are safe and .in which they might be needed, and 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. as they wear longer, injure the track less, and run with less noise than wheels of any other pattern. ’ GOT HIS theh bnly upon permission of the War Department at Washington am now blamed it seems, as far as pos sible; by keeping power in the hands of the civil authorities, and Xcr un dertaking to deprive Bullock of his worst instrument of tyranny. Un der the circumstances- would- you have done -less? The. resolution never passed—it was killed by a Radical Legislature. Again I ask was I wrong ? I know not what other reports my political enemies may start and use against me. I answer only the charges that have bceD brought, to me, and beg that all my old acquaintances and friends may believe nothing at this Me hour without indisputable proof. B. F. BRUTON. 1TO W GREELEY 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. GENERAL JAMES ^PATTON AN DERSON. The telegraph reports the death of this distinguished Confederate officer, at his residence, near Memphis, on the 20th instant. The announcement will be received with feelings of the deepest grief by a large circle of friends, and with sorrow by all the survivors of the gallant Army of the West. Gen. Anderson was born in Kentucky in 1822, graduated with honor at Dick inson College, Pa., and practiced law successfully in Northern Mississippi. The son of a distinguished officer in the war of 1812, he evinced a taste and ptitude for military command at an early age. In the Mexican wer he commanded a regiment of rifleipen from Mississippi. His health became im paired., and with a view to its recoverv he accepted the appointment of United States Marshall for the Territory of Washington at the hands of President Pierce,-and was soon elected a delegate to Congress from that Territory. ' At the close of his term he settled in Flori da, and was elected from that State to the Federal Congress. .
