Greeley and Brown were endorsed and

For Congress.
W. 0. Fleming of Baiubridge is, in eur opint
ion, the coming man for the next in this Dfetrsc
for Congressional honors. ITeis a man favorably
known and highly esteemed throughout South
west Georgia, for his fine legal attainments, and
intrinsic worth. If nominated and will run, his
many friends will give him a zealous support, and
when elected will represent his constituents ably
and faithfully, with honor to himself and credit
to his section.—Cuthbert Appeal.
l)eca f ur and tho extreme Southwest of
the District, welcome this cordial response
to tho nomination of the man of their choice,
Col. Fleming is all that is claimed for him
above and more.
We hope that ho will find that his pri
vate interests will permit him to respond
.to the cull for his services, made from all
of the District. ' We are moro so
licitous of this, because there is a greater
probability of election as the District is now
organized. If once designated to lead a
forlorn hope, now, being reinforced, let
him carry forward tho flag to victory. .If
he shrank not from the Cypress—now let
him win and wear the Laurel.
Cilice writing the above, we have ascertained
and now announce, with a satisfaction which we
know will be shared by his numerous friends, that
001. Fleming is a candidate, subject to the action
of the nominating Convention. He justly con.
siders it a duty, to yield to the pressure, which we
know .is brought to bear upon lilm from all sec.
tions of the District.
We will allude to this in detail next week.
To Colored Radicals.
We call attention of our colored Radi
cals to the telegraphic article headed “From
North Carolina.” It will be seen that the
law against ‘intimidation of voters is being
enforced. Sliadrack -Jones, colored, for al
tem tiling to intimidate Simon Craven, a
colored Greeley Republican was found
guilty and bound over to auswer.
Another, also colored, who had assaulted
Sam Crow, colored, a marshal of a Greeley
and Brown procession, was also tried and
convicted—other cases under this law are
pending.
It will thus bo seen that if you arc will
ing to bind yourself by oaths, that you can’t
drive others into your way of voting,
against their convictions. Away'then with
the fool Mi idea, that you will force every
Mack man into your way of voting and
thinking. If are freo let them show
it, by voting as they please. To constrain
and compel their convictions is a worse
slavery than the slave code ever tolerated
or sanctioned. ,
A PARALLEL.
History, it has been said, repeats itself.
hen the feud of Caesar an<l Pompey
had convulsed Rome, Cicsar having crossed
the Rubicon, pressed with his iron-clad
legions upon the Eternal City—ambition
his motive—the seeptre of the world his
goal. Nations stood aghast with bated
breath. The trembling Senate, for the first
time in internecine war, had voted that sub
lime decree “the Republic is in danger.”
But this decree, which so oft had roused
Roman courage from its lion-like repose,
till it shook the invader from its limbs, fell
still-born and dead, when Roman Caesar
met the no less Roman Pompey.
’Twas the hour of Romes chief peril and
her shame.
In this emergency, the Senate having
summoned, solicited the counsel and advice
of the “ noblest Roman of them all.” His
virtue and wisdom were equal to the emer
gency. ‘‘Trust, said he, the defence of the
State to Pompey. Those who have done
most to bring about the troubles, know best
how to remedy them.”
“ Trust the defence of the Slate to Pom
pey”—advice worthy the unselfish patriot
ism of Cato 4k® ->r ii ioimio.
•• Those who have done most to bring
about the troubles, know best how to rem
edy them”—words, which illustrate and
embalm in history that profound statesman
ship which had made Romg the mistress
of the world.
With Roman institutions, it seems, wo
also have Caesarean ambition, which clutches
after royal purple, and the sceptre of a ’
continent. Our Caesar arrogates kingly
State and prerogative. The peaceful home
of Wasliington'has the air and. state of. a
military sovereign—Brig. Gens, for ushers
and aid-de-camps for Secretaries. In the
shameful language of Senator Frelinghuy
sen he “holds a reluctant Congress in their
seats,” until they enact laws so usurpatory,
a§ even to shock their bluntod moral sense
and cause them to hesitate to do his bid
ding. He enforces one law with the sword
or pierces another with the bayonet. He has
broken down every barrier, erected by the
genius of ’7O, to guard the municipal against
the encroachments of Federal power and
lust. He diverts public monies to private
or party purposes, and to reward corrupt
retainers and courtiers.
By “ holding a reluctant Congress in
their seats,” he has compelled them, to tear
away the last refuge and bulwark of the
citizen, by enabling him to appoint a venal
pliant Judiciary, pledged before appoint
ment to carry out liis nefarious schemes.
The blood bought writ of habeas corpus
ha3 been dopendent upon his royal will.
His appointments to office, are based, not
on fitness or in recognition of past service
to tho Stato, but on Jiinship to this new
lusVior Houses, lands or
shares, or flatter his royal taste, whether
for colts or bull-pups. •
Right royally does this modern Ccesar
rule.
But the parallel still holds. This Ccesar
lias his Pompey. Tho truth of history de
mands tin? concession, that Greoloy, the
champion of abolition, the hater of Democ
racy, is responsible, in great measure, for
the troubles, which culminated, in tho cor
ruption which could produce a party whose
typo and oxponent is Grant. Greeley is re
sponsible. Let it bo so. The troubles exist.
They must bo remedied. The Senate and
people of Romo must trust the dofonce of
popular liberty to or to Pompey.
Tho Democracy, true to its history ; true
to its traditionary .love of constitutional
checks and, popular freedom ; true to the
memories of tho past and the bright hopes
of the future, and true to that government,
which, under the Constitution, she had raised
to a commanding rank among nations only
heard Cincinnati proclaim and Baltimore
echo, tho decree of tho Great American
Peoplo, “tho Ropublic is in danger”—when
with intuitive patriotism she brings to the
rescue of that imperilled Constitution, not
one but 3,000,000 Catos.
Rome had but ono Cato and his virtue
became historic.
Yet that miserable burlesque, the so
called Republican of to day, unable to rise
to,the dignity of tho occasion and assuming
to measure Democratic meal in his filthy
half-bushel, calls it office-seeking. May
Heaven help him.
Dan Voorliees.
A gentlemen in this city sent word to Toorhces
that ‘"all his old friends were getting into the Gree
ley boat ; that he was too good a fellow to leave
behind, and he had better come along too, before
they shoved off.” Yoorhees received the message
and sent this back. He was pretty much in the
condition,he wrote, of the boy at camp meeting,
where nearly all of the people had gone forward on
the anxious* benches, and he was left blooming
alone. At last the minister saw him and oarnie
P -*-My young brother;’ said the preacher “why do
you sit h ere alone? Why not come to glory? ’ ’
“All them gals goin’ to glory asked the boy.
“Straight as a shingle,’ said the preacher.
“No switchiu’ off nor nuthin ?
“Through by daylight,” answered the minister.
“Well, parson.” said the boy, “if all them gals is
a-going’ to glory, I don't see as its much use o’ me
a whittlin' here by myself ; guess I might jest as
well go 'long too.”—St. Louis Dispatch.
Good for Yoorhee3.
Can't recalcitrant Democrats deduce a
moral —or make an application? What say
tlic Savannah News and Atlanta Sun ? No
uso to be whittlin' there by yourselves.
Come ’long, gentlemen.
LEGISLATIVE DOINGS BONDS.
Col. Simmons, Chairman Senate Bond
Committee reported. Recommends to de
clare null and void the indorsement, bv the
State, of tho- following railroad bonds, and
to prohibit tho Governor, Treasurer or any
officer of the State from paving th© inter
est or principal, or in any way recognizing
the validity of said endorsement.
Brunswick & Albany R. R.. (currency,)
$3,300,000.
Brunswick & Albany R. R, (gold,'' sl,-
880,000.
Cartersville & Van Wert Railroad and
Cherokee, two setts, endorsed bonds cov
ering tho same section of road, one batch,
$275,000, the other $300,000, making $575,-
000.
Bainbridgo, Cuthbert, & Columbus Rail
road, $600,000.
Os which $240,000, endorsed by Bqjlock }
but not by Secretary of State, who was to
have endorsed them when twenty miles
were completed.
Certain quarterly gold bonds, (held by
Clews & Cos., .
Hon. TANARUS, J. Simmons also offered the fol
lowing resolutions:
issued under act of
to be good and valid.
That the bonds hypothecated, bo redeem
ed by tho payment of the money borrowed,
with lawful interest.
That tho endorsement of the bonds of
the South Georgia and Florida railroad
was made incompliance with law and thaie
fore valid.
That tho endorsement of the bonds of
the Alabama and Chattanooga railroads is
valid and binding.
That the currency bonds issued in Ai
gust, 1870, having been cancelled by tio
gold bonds are not binding, and probat
ing tho Governor, Treasurer or any otbr
officer of tho State from paying interest >r
principal, or in any way recognizing thdr
validity.
Mr. MeMullin, Chairman House Joiit
Committee, also offered tho same report n
the House.
The joint committee recognize as goed
and binding the States endorsement to
Alabama and Chattanooga railroad to tie
amount of $194,000. SIOO,OOO of which
had been negotiated.
Also the Stoutli Goorgia and Florida rail
road, $464,008 bonds, proporly endorsed.
The State road mortgago bonds, to the
sum of $614,000, issued by Jenkins and
used by Bullock, aro valid.
We condense from tho ablo and well un
formed Atlanta Constitution t
Two million currency bonds were issued
to raise money on temporarily. Tlireo mil
lion gold bonds were afterwards issued to
pay tlicr money. Bullock sent Kimball to
tako up the currency bonds to cancel, (dews
held SBOO,OOO and Russell Sage $530,000
currency bonds.
• The former, .to cover $47,000 debt; the
latter s27slaY -S1 Jm * s^*J **'T* S *T
mil I ill! In Clows also refused.
Kimball took tho currency he go t up and
borrowed money on them from J. Boor
man and A. G. Johns, getting from J. Boor
man $84,000 on $120,000 of bonds, and
from Johns $35,000 on $50,000 bonds. The
cream of this transaction was that Kimball
bamboozled these sharp iNew York brokers
by getting their money on Bullock’s order
to cancel and return said currency bonds
to the Georgia treasury, they taking Kim
ball's word, and declining even to read the
order. The State got nono of the money.
The gentleman were in* fault for being de
ceived. Tho committee report these bonds
as of no force.
The Macon and Brunswick road has had
$2,550,000 bonds endorsed, of which $2,-
100,000 wer§ under the prosent Constitu
tion, for which there is an equivalent of
privatd investment, but not for tho $450,-
000. Tho committee makes no recommen
dation. These bonds brought from sixty
cents to par.
The gold bonds were three millions. —
Kimball got $250,000 for the Opera House;
James sloo,ooojfor the Executive mansion ;
Henry Clews has $102,000 unsold ; $300,-
000 have been returned to the Treasury,
and $2,595,000 were sold.' and hypotheca
ted. Os this last sum clews sold $1,650,-
000, and Kimball manipulated the rest. —
Clews got $1,432,250 for his bonds, and
paid $370,000 on old bonds, SIOO,OOO on
Stato road bonds, $609,192.78 on drafts
and notes of Bullock and Blodgett, on ac
count of State road, $198,700 to the Na
tional Bank, and $254,000 for expenses and
fees. The money paid on Bullock’s and
Blodgett’s drafts was misappropriated, and
Clews did not got the gold bonds as collat
eral security but for sale. Tho money
raised by Kimball on these bonds can’t be
estimated. The committee recommends all
these gold bonds to be paid, as Bullock was
not restricted by law as to their issue. The
gold bonds hold by Clews are illegally in
his hands, in opinion of the committee.
For Greeley—Plain.
Joe Brown, Col. T. P. Saffold, both tho
McWhorters, Judge James Johnson of Co
lumbus, and all the principal Georgia Re
publicans are leaving tho sinking ship.—
Grant is too heavy a load.
Whiteley will soon be left alono. Won’t
some one, now that the pool is troubled by
the healing Angel of Peace, help him, in that
he may wash himself of his Radical lepro->
sy?
He was once a Democrat
Laboring with Forney.
Grant stopped over the 16th, in Plnladel
pliia, to labor with Brother Fomey and
reconcile him to the support of the ring
candidate, Hartranft. A Washington dis
patch reports that he offered Forney the
choice of a Cabinet position or Foreign
Mission if he Would come to terms, but
whether the trade was made or not, is not
stated.
One Col. Picket* and the alleged Con
federate Archives.
Avoiding any discussion of tho genuine
ness of the documents claimed to be con
federate, but said to have been forged by
the übiquitous Snd convenient Conover,
the question is still pertinent—by what an
thority and under what law Boutwell can
justify, paying $75,000 for them without
an appropriation by Congress? Onco before,
has this official paid Jay Cooke, Henry
Clews and their confederates, $1,900,000
for negotiating the last loan, in violation of
the terms ot the law.
Had Andrew Johnson been so defiant
of law, his impeachment would not have
terminated as a ridiculous farce.
If Boutwell can pay Conover or Pickett
$75,000 of tho people’s money,’to secure
electioneering campaign documents for
Grant, we will like to see his reckoning with
the next Congrees. Wo invite the atten
tion of our immediate Representative, Maj.
Whitelcy to this matter. •
As for Tickett, if there be such a man
and his letter bo - genuine, he has sunk
to Milton’s “ lower depth ” —from which
even the hand of mercy w ould not rais
him.
Grant and Greeley.?
The Macon Telegraph quotes from Forney's
Press, of the 17th inst., a paragrapli attributing to
the News a statement that “ Grant will beat Gree
ley twenty thousand ” in this State.. The state
ment aforesaid was incorporated in an article writ
ten some weeks before the nomination of Greeley
at Baltimore, and was justified by public sentiment
at that time. Since then there has been a Tre
mendous revolution aiuqrg Democrats, and if tin?
negroes enter the campaign with tli,(!u;.o^nue
New,
22d iiist.
Pimp Forney, quoting Savannah Nejvs
for Grant sentiment in Georgia!! Os a
truth, Democracy is stabbed in the house of
jts friends.
But the News admits then that “since, there
has been a tremendous revolution among
Democrats?” Why then, does the News
persist in kicking against the action of Bal
timore, and of the “ tremendous revolution
among Democrats?” Becalcilraiion may
be dignified, but Democrats don t think so.
Individual consistency must yield some
times to party w r ill, else party ceases to be
a potential agent in effecting the purposes
of its organization —the fusing of miner dif
ferences and individual preferences, to at
tain greater permanent good to the many.
Again, with all respect, wc beg tnc News
to pause and r eflect.
RADICAL FINANCIERING.
By tho annexed, extracted from the Con
stitution, the reader may form a faint idea
of what Radical rulo in Georgia was, what
became of tho people’s money, and why
they still groan under heavy taxation. If
they like the picture and wpqld .perpetuate
If they wish to continue the work of clean
ing out this Augean stable, so auspicinlly
inaugurated, they will vote for Smith and
Democracy.
The Brunswick and Albany Railroad
300,000 indorsed bonds, and $1,880,000 gold State
bonds, lload cost $20,000 per mile.* Tho road
was in operation 65 mil ’s in ISC3. The rood was
taken up by the Confederate authorities and paid
for. The State government had nothing, tp 'do
with the matter. The following facts are obtained
The act giving a*l .wa3 based on the falsehood that
tiro State owed the road for the iron taken by the
Confederate States government. It. A. Crawford
says Win. L.'Avery told him that Bullock got
SIOO,OOO for indorsing the bonds. B. Y«SagC,of
the Air-Line Hoad swears that Bullock told him,
before he signed the bill giving aid to the Air-
Line, that “if there were anything to be made out
of it that he (witness) might count upon him
(Bullock) as being in, as he was on the make,”
and when Bullock endorsed the first Air-Line
bonds, he said “even if the company did comply
with the law and Constitution in every particular,
he never would sign another bond, unless they
would turn out that damned rascal Austell, because
Austell was backing up Angier and bo would, not
give aid to his enemies.” This shows the morality
of the noble llufus in these matters. The indorse
ments were given iu every case before tho lawful
amount of road was completed. Clews, the ’Trea
surer of the Company, and the negotiator of large
numbers of the bonds, knew of thi3. Finney, the
financial agent of the road, kept him constantly
informed. Clews said he could take care of him
self. Bonds were issued fifteen nr twenty miles in
advance all the time, which Clews knew, rmucj
says that Conaut told him they gave Roland B.
Hall, legislator from Glynn,s7,0 0 0 in stock for his
services in regard to the bill, and also gave him a
lot in Brunswick worth SI,OOO. Houston swears
that Hall was put out, beda'use the company did
not do enough for him, for his valuable services,
and he left the impression on witness’ mind that
improper influences were used to pass the bill, and
he threatened the company. W. K. DeGraffen
ried notified Clews’ agent, Lewis, that the bonds
were issued against law. The second indorsement
bill was gotten up in Conant’s office, in New York
W. L. Avery drew it. Frost, the President of
the road, testifies that he refused to accept bonds in
advance of tl\e work that Bulinck and Kimball
wanted to deliver, but Kimball did procure and
use them. Frost says repeated outrages were at
tempted by the contractors, Conant and Avery.
Wm. L. Avery says Clews knew all about the
matters, and was to have a fourth interest, James
11. Dedlie'testifies that Clews got him into the
affair, aud Clews knew of the illegalities. Tbe
testimony against Clews shows his thorough
knowledge of every fraud.
If you wish to make any purchase don’t
go away from home to do it. Encourage
home industry give your trade to merchants
and mechanics, especially those who ad
vertise freely. This is tho way to build up
a lively business in your own town, and
benefit yourself as well as others. Every
dollar spent in a town is of advantage to a
place in general, and every article spent
abroad, for articles which could be bought
on as favorable terms at home, is like tak
ing so much capital out of tho business in
terest of the place.
Fun and Honor..—“ Paddy,” says a joker,
“why don’t you get your ears cropped—
they are entirely too long for a maul”
“And yours,” replied Pat, “ought to be
lengthed —they are too short for an ass.”
WORSE THAN A CRIME—A BLUN
DER.
We recognize the uses of party. In Ecpro.
sentative Governments, perhaps they are necessary.
They are the machinery, by w hich pop. lar senti
ment becomes concentrated, and hence active and
effective. Right or wrong, they are now a ne
cessity of our governmental polity, if not of our
very civilization.
Yet we never expect to surrender our personal
independence, and that highest attribute of true
manhood, which leaves us free to approve the
right and condemn the wrong. We wear no man,
nor no party’s collar. Our independence is as nec
essary to our self-respect as a journalist,-as it is as
a man.
"Hie Convention of 24th in 'Atlanta, has fallen
beneath the occasion. Shame! shame 1 Shall it
go before the world, that the Democracy of Geor
gia, after making the sacrifices they do to de
feat Grant, his corruptions and tyranny; after
having been jeered by fools, for their sacrifices,
after pluming themselves upon the patriotic motive
underlying that action, which, as Heaven knows, is
the tmly ground upon which it can be justified—
is this Democracy, now, to disgrace itself, go back
upon its own record, give the lie to its own con
duct and arraign the purity of its own motives, by
rejecting the proposed aid of the liberals?
Yet this has been done.
It is an unpleasant duty to inquire into motives.
We will not assay it. But the enemies of Democ
racy can and will say, that w r e pretend to support
Greeley, with the declared purpose of “ clasping
hands across the bloody chasm ” of national strife
and fraternal blood ; yet we will not affiliate with
men of our own State and people who ask admit
tance to our recognition and confidence to carry
out a common object. They will weigh well,
whether our love of country is as unselfish as we
claim ? Whether, wc love country or office most ?
“ «SB4 to
party bate, that even in this extreme peril of our
country, we cannot, to gain, not 15,000 but 500
votes, allow the Liberals the mere pittance of a
place on our electoral ticket? Whether, m fine.
We a’re so completely in £thc leading strings of
the kicking back Democrats, beaded by Stephens
and Toombs, that we dare not*do right and act
justly ? Oh shame, where is thy blush !
We hesitate not to say that the Liberals hrfve
risen in our estimation, as of all sincere, honest
men who have at heart the country’s good. All
honor to them. Their reply shows that they
realized the situation and were equal to it.
In our opinion, the action of the Convention was
a crime—to the mere politician, in the language
of Tallyraud, ’twas “ worse than a crime—a blun
der.” • .
For Greeley—Colored.
W. U. Saunders, colored, formerly of
Florida, late Grant elector in Maryland,
has come out for Greeley in an able letter
and is now canvassing New York State.
In Florida, lie bad character for ca
pacity, and was a Pliarasfto of the strictest
sect, a Radical dyed-in-the-wool. Who
among his people will bo tho noxt to fol
low his example—of independent thinking?

LETTER FROM ATLANTA.
Atlanta, G a., July 22nd., 1872.
Editors Eainbrid'je Weekly Sum.
Since tlio meeting of the Legislature and
•■•**»**x^**4won. inMo utfVtlT m THU cU
and a few have been passed. 7u ti, ■ si-igo
pf the session it is, of course, impusible to
say how much work, and of what kind, will
be performed, but us Soon as tho rush of
bills to tho clerks desk ceases, I tnink both
houses will sefctlo down earnestly to busi
ness.
. • Thus far tho most important thing
brought before the Legislature lias beeii
tho report of the Committee on bonds. Be
fore this letter reaches you tho daily papers
will have made you familiar 'witli the char
acter of the report, You will preceive that
tho Committee recommended the passage
of a bill declaring null and void tho State’s
indorsement of tho bonds of Baiubridge
Cuthbert and Columbus Railroad. Should
tho bill pass it will not materially affect tho
road, for tho reason that the bonds which
have beon issued have merely received tho
signature of Bullock, but have never receiv
ed the final indorsemen of tho Stato, with
out which, the indoroement is incomplete.
It thereforo follows, that when the Bain
bridge, Cuthbert and Columbus Railroad
Company have complied with tho provis
ions of tho law granting Stato aid, Govor
compelled, as a matter of duty, to indors
tho specified number of bonds. Your read
ers may, therefore, feel aasy on the subject
of tho road. Let all iuterestod in tho work
go forward, subscribe to the stock and
push it to completion and they will find
indorsed bonds ready for them as fast as
each section of twenty miles is constructed.
The recommendation of tho Committee on
the Bruswick and Albany road is precisely
what might .have been expected. It is
worthy Us remark that when tho bill grant
ing aid to this road was before tho Senate,
the only serious effort to defeat it was made
by Hon. B. F. Bruton of your district. Ho
made two distinct efforts, one in the shape
of a resolution to submit tho whole matter
to tho Legislature of tho next session.
Had this resolution passed it would liavo
been imposible for Bullock & Cos. to liavo
manipulated the bonds of the rsad. It was,
however, voted down, i Mr. Bruton then
moved to lay the bill on tho table whi<jh
was lost and the bill was soon after passed,
Mr. Bruton voting against its passage.
Whatever discredit may be attached to
the State in this matter it can’t reflect npen
him. Indeed, I must do your servant jus
tice by saying that the Journals of the
Senate show him uniformly and consistent
ly voting against every one of tho measures
which have been justly loaded with obloquy.
In all parts oi the Stato will bo heard a
cty of indignation on the facts elicited by
tho Committee appointed to investigate tho
