/ The Weokly Democrat. Ben E. Rcssell, • - K. H. Johnston EDITORS. Bainbridtre. Georgia, July 27, 1876 The National Democratic Ticket. FOR PRESIDENT ; SAMUEL J. TILDEN, OF NEW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT : THOMAS A. HENDRICKS, OF INDIANA. For Senator, 8th District, HON. ISAAC A. BUSH, of Miller. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES. The St. Louis platform, with no uncertain sounds, gives utterance to these great prin ciples that constitute the foundation of our republican system : Faith in the permanence of the Federal Unior. Devotion to the Constitution of the United States, with its amendments universally ac cepted as a final settlement of the controver sies that engendered civil war. Steadfast confidenoe in the perpetuity of republican self-government. A resolute acquiescence in the will of the majority, the vital principle of republics. The supremacy of the civil oyer the mili tary authority. The total separation of church and State, for the sake alike of religious freedom. The equality of all citizens before just laws of their own enactment. The liberty of individual conduct unvexed by sumptuary laws, The faithful education of the rising gen eration, that they preserve, enjoy and trans mit these best conditions of human happi ness and hope, John Fiveash, a prominent citizen of Miller county, came as a delegate to the late Senatorial Convention in this city. He was for Bush all the way through, and though nominated to the Senate himself by a Decatur county man, he authorized Mr. John B. Crawford, a Decatur county- delegate to withdraw his name, and to state that he was for I. A. Bush and want ed all of his friends to go that way with him. Notwithstanding this protest Mr. Fiveash was voted for largely by the De catur delegation. Finally Mr. Bush was found to be the choice of the Convention, and no one was better pleased with the result than Johu Fiveash. Harmony pre vailed in the meeting—now let harmony prevail throughout the party and let us elect Bush in October. If Alfred II. Colquitt is nominated as the Democratic c mdidate for Governor on the Second of August we shall support him as heartily as any of his “organs;” not on account of “his exalted Christian character,” for there are thousands in the State equally as exalted—not on account of “his heroism at Olustee,” for every honorable soldier in the Confederate army is entitled to just as much credit— not because he is President of the State Agricultural Society aDd a leading Gran ger—but because lie is the nominee of the Democratic party, and is qualified for the position, The cry of the ‘organs’ all over the State is : ‘Let us make Tom Hardeman Elector for the State at Large.’ Certainly ; where there is work to be done Tom Hardeman istheman—“the brilliant leader”—“the silver-tongued orator”—“Georgia’s favor ite son”—and the deuce knows what else. While we are certain that Tom Hardeman as Elector would insure the success of the Democratic party—it strikes us, that the truest, best and bravest soldier, the hardest worker and the noblest patriot in Georgia has been working long enough for nothing but “empty honors.” Ron. Isaac A. Bush, our candidate for State Senator, intends to use every honor- means to succeed in the election. lie is from Miller county, was the unani mous choice of the delegation from there in the C'onveniton ; and when Mitchell’s claims were decided against, the majority of her delegation went for him, hence it is strange that he should have the slight tst opposition in Decatur, yet we hear of trouble brewing. Bush was fairly nomi nated in open convention, Decatur being fully represented therein by thirty-six delegates. “Tilden and Reform 1” This is the war cry—this is the ticket. What does it mean ? It means down with extravagance and corruption in the administration of the government. It means the exodus of the thousands of thieves and incompetents who disgrace the Civil Service. It means reduced taxes and returning prosperity. Poor, struggling tax-payer, “Dinna ye hear the slogan !" You might as well attempt to jump over the moon as to find a political candidate entirely free of opposition even in his own party. Patriotism, however, smoth ers all petty differences when a candidate is nominated. Will Patriotism or Selfish ness rule in the party in Decatur the pres ent campaign? PRESIDENT GRANT Let us take a huried review of U. S. Grant, President of the United States. Sixteen years ago he was a tanner at Galena, Illinois,—a man of questionable moral character and in temperate habits. He had been a cap tain in the army, but on account of habitual drunkenness was about to be cashiered,' but Jefferson Davis, then Secretary of War, allowed him to re sign to avoid that disgrace. In politics he was what Horace Greely called a “Whiskey Democrat,” and a pro-slave ry man. The year 1861. ever memorable in the history of this country, came. War between the States was declared, and in an incredibly short time over a million of men were under arms. The fact of Grant having a military education brought him to the front, and he enter ed upon the era of his unpavalelled suc cess as Colonel of a volunteer regiment from Illinois. He was soon found to be of a most stubborn and heartless na ture, caring nothing for the lives and little for the comfort of his men. He was rapidly promoted and finally be came Commander-in'Cbief of all the armies of the United States. Possess ed of unlimited material resources and overwhelming numbers of men, by sheer brute force he achieved his successes in the west. Having no heart nor sympathy he cared not how great the sacrifice of life, provided it added to his fame. Finally, in 1864, he took command of the armies confronting that of Gen. Lee in Virginia, and after a campaign of over one year, and hard fighting day after day, losing three times as many men as Lee had when the campaign opened, yet forever recruiting, he com pelled the surrender of 9,000 Confed erates on the 9th of April 1865, the remnant of our army, to his own force of250.000 men. The war ended and Grant was the “Savior of his Country.” The country bowed down and worshipped him. The obscure tanner of four years previous was now the greatest man in America — he restorer of American liberty— the Republican patriot, par excelfance And the people bestowed upon him ad- di ional rank and emoluments. The rank of “General” was created at a high salary especially for him. In 1868 a President was to be elec ted. Grant wanted that office and was ready to offer to the first party that called. The Radicals were first and Giant was nominated. He accepted, as a matter of course, with the laconic expression of “Let us have peace He was elected. Then came his system of nepotism by which his family of rela tions were safely housed in public offices with prin'-cly salaries. There were not offices enough and he had more created. His own salary was raised from twenty- five to fifty thousand dollars per annum, and with the costly presents he received for offices bestowed, he became not on ly a powerful ruler but an immensely rich man. The people winced a little at the change affairs had taken, but upon reflection, had not Grant saved the the country ? and was he not enti tled to every consideration ? they would ask. Four years sped away and another President was to be elected. The Rad ical party wanted a perpetuation of its powsr, and so did General Grant. One was indispensable to the other, and Grant was renominated at Philadelphia in 1872, and re-elected. If his first term was disgraceful his second has been doubly so. In less than eight years of his administration there have been 50.000 new offices created--the civil service has been made a den of thieves, reaching from the Cabinet down. Foreign Ministers have brought discredit upon themselves and eountiy to such an extent as to demand their recall for decency’s sake—the taxes have been increased until every indus trial energy is paralyzed. Bad, corrupt and rotten as is the Republican party, it dare not Dominate Grant a third term ; so at Cincinnati he was thrown overboard. Always distrusted and denounced by the Dem ocratic party, since he is no longer ser- vicable the Radicals are telling the truth about him at last. The Republi can press i3 teeming with scorn and contempt for him, and he stands before the country to-day in the light of a guilty man on his trial. No public man in the country is held in less es teem, and on the 4th of March next he will step down into oblivion leaving nothing to be remembered but his crimes. The people of the eastern side of Deca tur want a new county, and those west of Flint river want one, also. 'We have no objection, provided those who go.out car; ry their share of the common indebtedness with them. Col. S. Bull,the Sioux chief,is reported to have been killed in the battle of Rose bud. S. Bull was a hard student of Napo leon Boneparte's campaign. „Rev. W. W. Fleming, editor of the Ear ly County New*, has returned from the Centennial. He likes it. CENTENNIAL FACTS- Apropos of the Centennial year we have taken the pains to collate the fol lowing historical facts : The first Continental army was or ganized in 1775, of which George Washington was Comroander-in-Chief. The Major-Generals were Artemus Ward. Massachusetts; Charles Lee, Virginia ; Philip Schuyler New York; Israel Putnam, Connecticut. There were, also, eight Brigadier-Generals and one AdjalanUGeoenil. In 1783 the army was commanded by George Washington, Comuntnder- in-Chief, fifteen Major-Generals aud twenty-one Brigadier-Generals. The Staff were as follows ; Major General DuPortail, of France, Chief Engineer ; Major-General Steuben, of Prussia. Inspector-General ; Brigadier-General Hand, of Pennsylvania, Adjutant-Gen eral ; Col. Pickering, of Pennsylvania, Quartermaster-Genera!; John Pierce. Paymaster-General ; John Cochran, Surge m-General ; Thomas Edwards, Judge-Advocate. The total force of regular soldiers employed during tne war amounted to 231.791 men—militia 56,163—total 287,954. Total expenditures during the seven years, Federal and State, $135,693,- 703.00, being less than it takes to run the Federal Government now for one year, in time of profound peace. In 1775 the population of the Uni ted States was 3,000,000. In 1830 it was 13,000,000. In 1876 it is claim ed to be 44,000.000. In 1798 George Cabot declined the appointment of Secretary of the Navy. Isaac Shelby declined the appointment of Secretary of War in 1817. This may sound strange to the people now- a-days, but it is truth. Joseph Habersham, of Georgia, was Postmaster-General under the adminis tration of Washington, and of Adams, and of Jefferson. That is to say, being a competent official, and those being days of honesty and integrity, Joseph Habersham served the country as head o r the Postoffice Department continu ously for a period of fourteen years. Grantism had evidently not crept into the body politic in those good old times. Why is Gov Tilden any more likely to to reform this Government than Gov. Hayes ? What is there in the charac- actfl . of these two men t hat gives one, Tilden, the pieeminence over Hayes as a reformer ?—John Shannon in Senate. To which the New York Sun says ; The answers to these questions furnish es the dividing line between the two parties : I. Gov. Tilden has shown by his works his faith in reform and his abili- ity as a reformer. He struck down the Tweed Ring inside his own party He crushed the Canal Ring, composed of rogues of both parties. And in less than eighteen month he reduced the taxation in this State from fifteen eight millions in round numbers - What has Hayes done but sign routine papers, grant pardons, and take his ease in of fice ? II. The characters of the two men are as far apart as the poles. Tilden is pronounced, positive, and aggressive in assailing corruption and fraud, while Hayes is uncertain, weak, and indiffer ent. especially when the expo.-ure of his own party is concerned. Ilis rec ord r.s a member of Congress and as Governor is a blank. He belongs to the order of negative men, without force or self-assertion, who travel a smooth road of life, smiling like the late Schuyler Cofax, and treading on nobody’s corns or prejudices, that fur nish the material for ‘-compromise can didates. ” Tilden would be the leader of reform in the White House, and Hayes would be the mere tool of Cam eron, Morton, Blaine, Chandler, Logan, and the factions, to continue Grantism under another name.. The firm would be changed, but the business would be exactly what it is now. Grant, says the New York Sun, has been ugly, bitter and malignant ever since the Republicans dropped him for a third term, and he is now determined at all events there shall be a third term of Grantism, or the Republicans shall not prevail in the elections. It is to this feeling that Bristow, Jewell, and Pratt owe their downfall. Grant dis cards them to frighten Hayes and let him understand at the outset of the campaign that if he pays any heed to the reform element in the Republican party he must expect no active support from the President and his hundred thousand office-holders, and the two million they can contribute to the elec tion fund, nor any aid from Gen. Sher idan in carrying Louisiana and two or three other earpet-bag States by the bayonet—the last hope of Hayes. Hon. John Screven, of Savannah We have been asked by many of the admirers of John Screven to advocate him for the Gubernatorial nomination. We have refused so to do because we know that he would not like to have his name dragged into the present strife for the Governorship. Besides John Screven never sought a political office in his life. Col Screven is one of the ablest then in Georgia, and we, in common wich this whole section, would rejoice to tee him our Chief .Executive—but as men are now seeking office, and not of fiee men, it will be some time we fear before the order will be reversed. ‘Discomfitures’ have no terrors for honest men in politics—the man who openly espouses and aggressively advocates one or the other side in advance of the people’s verdict may commit the “tolly” of being cast in a minority; but hia position then is mote to he respected than he who dangles a leg on each side of the fence, till the issue is decided, and then rushes to the front with a whine that he always favored the successful proposition.—Atlanta Common wealth- Every word of the above is as true as day light. Lord deliver us from the ‘I-tMd-you- soV and “fence-riders”—they are the most contemptible element in any politics. We have noticed in this gubernatorial campaign newspapers and individuals who favored General Colquitt only by insinuation, until they saw him apparently distancing his competitors in the race then tl ey openly declared for him with an “I told you so”— “I always knew he was the strongest,” etc - The support of Haye-by the incinnati Volksblatt has beeu heralded abroad as an important German indication. The man ner in which its support was secured is germane to this question. A majority of ten did it. The three directors, Hassau- rek, Taft and Markbreit, met, and Has- saurek was for Tilden, the other two for Hayes. Mr Hassaurek appealed to ‘he stockholders, and in their meet.ng voted one hundred aud twenty shares for Til den. The remaining stock, one hundred and thirty shares, were voted for Hayes, and Mr Hassaurek retired from the edito rial chair. There is little glory and little gain for Mr. Hayes in the Victory. The paper has always supported the Republi can nominees before. If Carl Schurz carries the German vote in his pocket he has certainly not captured the German press. There are twenty-seven German papers publish ed in the State of Ohio. Of these nineteen have declared for Tilden and Hendricks, five for Hayes and Wheel er, while three are yet uudeeided what candidates they will support It may be added that Die Zuhra ft, the organ of the Western Turner Bund, has aban doned the Republican ranks in which it has always fought, aud conies out for the St. Louis nominees. The difference between the two houses ever the bankrupt hill were settled last week by agreeing to amend section 5,108 of the revised statutes so as to read as fol lows : At any time at the expiration of sis months from’ til-.- adjudication of bank ruptcy, or, if no debts have been proved against the bankrupt, or if no assets have come to the hands cf the assignee, at any time after the expiration ot sixty days, and before the final disposition of the cause, the bankrupt may apply to the court for a discharge from his debts. This section shall apply in all cases heretofore or hereafter commenced. The New Broom.—At the Democratic ratification meeting in Louisville ‘he other night one of the speakers suggested that the party symbol for this campaign should be “a new broom”—typical of reform. The Courier-Journal endorses the idea. “These are sweeping times,” says the paper. “Honest men have gone in for a sweepstake against corrupt men. The Democrats mean to make a clean sweep of the Republicans. Ours will be a sweeping victory, and a sweep ail around through every Department of the public service is to be had as the result of it. So the housewife’s familiar implement, “A New Broom.” It is a useful thing to have about the family aud will come in nice and handy next 4th of March. Brooms t o the front? By bat tali ns, by brigades, march!” The Chattanooga Times correctly diag noses Gov. Bard’s recent conversion to democracy : “Sam can scent a political victory with as much precision as a buz zard can detect the odor of a carcass, with the wind in its favor. Sam is inva riably on the winning side. The blood of the Nigger is the Salva tion of the Radical party. A few hundred Southern negroes killed with proper dis crimination will elect Hays & Wheeler in November. And, indeed, what are the colored people fit for but to vote and die for the Republican party ? Spot him. Spot who ? Why the Deca tur demagogue who in order to secure a political nomination would attempt to stir up bad blood between the town and country. Since the days of Jackson, the New Haven Register declares no nomination lias met with such acceptance in Connec ticut as that of Tilden, and he will carry that State by at least 9,000 majority. If Grant were “to see himself as both litical parties now see him,” he would at once tie an anchor around his neck for a life-preserver and jump into the Potomac river. Ex U. S. Senator H. V. M. Miller, and Judge A. R. Wright are mentioned as possible independent candidates for Gov ernor. Th- Washington correspondent of the Balt more Gazette thus mentions the eloquent and excellent speeches of Messrs. Hartridge and Lamar on the Hamburg outrage : “Two Representative men of the South have since the debate, expressed in the most eloquent language and with the most impressive intensity of feeling, sentiments which I have heretofore at tributed to the great mass of people of the South. No man who heard Mr. Hartridge. of Georgia, yesterday, or Mr Lamar, of Mississippi, to-day. could in his heart doubt that they believed and felt what they said. The condemnation of the Hamburg outrage from Lamar’s lips to day was a thousand times more eloquent than any that has been utter ed by Republican speakers, and it was simply because it was plain to every man who heard him that he felt and meant all he said. It was the honest indignation of an honest man and not the mock sentimentality, the shaui phi lanthropy of fellows like Garfield, Hale and Foster, who, while they speak words of condemnation against the whites who shot down negro prisoners, secretly re joiced thereat because they believed every negro shot at Hamburg was worth ten thousand votes in the South this fall for Hayes and Wheeler. On the Democratic fide of the House Lamar’s and Hartridge’s speeches are universally approved. I did not meet a single gen tleman who was not glad that the man ly words had been spoken. Dooly county’s re-endorsement of Gen Phil Gook for (longress settles the question in that District. In the Second District Hon VVm. E. Smith is not likely to have formidable opposition. In the fourth District the fight is fierce and closely contested. Mr. Blount, is thought to be the strongest, but his success over Bacon, Lawsoa and Floyd is by no means certain. In the filth District Mr. Harris’ re- election is almost certain. Mr. GunJIer, of this District, has a dangerous antagonist in Dud llaui- uiond and will have no easy fight for his return. Mr. Hill will have a walk over in the ninth. Mr. Hartridge will have trouble in the first with Uol J. C. Nichols and others.—Commonwealth NEW ADVERTISEMENTS TO FLORIDA Savannah, Ga., July 17, 1876 A Grand Excursion to Florida will leav*.

CONSTITUTION PUBLISHING CO., Atlanta, Ga. Old Age is Honorable. This is true, but how few of us like to look old. Age, with its gre- hairs is never welcome, aud the various arts have been brought into requisition to hide its ravages In too many instance agents are used for that purpose, which inflict serious injury on the constitution.

HE inal tPHE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF i 67, 1 which includes National, State and conn ty elections, and which will undoubtedly-be the most active and hotly contested of any since the memorable canvass of I860, is now fairly opened. The National Democratic Party will this year make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful struggle for the maintainance and supremacy of those prin ciples which are vital to the prosperity of the Republic and essential to the well-being of the people. In addition to the Presidential election, the people of Georgia and Florida will elect new State governments. In Florida the campaigns promises to be unusually vigor ous, and there is a probability that for the first time since the war the people of that Radical-ridden State will elect a Democratic State government. In these campaigns the people of the South arc deeply interested ; and every intelligent citizen, who has the welfare of his countty and his section at heart, should acquaint himself with every detail of the great work of redemption and reform that is now going on. To this end lie should subscribe to and as sist in circulating the SAVANNAH MORN ING NEWS, an independent Democratic newspaper, of pronounced opinions and fear, les - in their expression; a paper that is recognized everywhere as the best daily in the ‘■’outh. Its editorial department is vig orous, thoughtful, and consistent, while its news and local departments are marvels of industry and completeness. Its department of Georgia and Florida affairs is not confin ed to a mere barren summary ot events transpiring in those States, but is enlivened by comment at once apt, timely, and racy. The ample resources of the establishment will be devoted to furnishing the readers of the MORNING NEWS. with the latest intelligence from all parts of the world, through the press dispatches, special telegrams, and by means of special correspondence ; and through these agencies the paper will be the earliest chronicle of every noteworthy incident of the political campaign of 1876.
