Ho! Every Man.
Remember that the election for
Senator and members of the House
of Representatives takes- place attlie
various precincts next Wednesday.
Rally to the polls, one and all.
The Democrat who desert's his
standard-bearer on next Wednesday,
deserts his party, and forfits all claim
for future honor at the hands of De
mocracy. Consider Democrats, are
you willing to allow your personal
preferences lead you to the commis
sion of an act that may deprive you
of all influence and standing here
after in the ranis of your party ?
How much you risk by such an act;
how little you gain.
Col. Gee is a farmer, and an hon
est and intelligent gentleman. There
are few who have such a fair charac
ter as he for purity, integrity and
reliability. Like Csesar’s wife, he is
“above all suspicion.” Democrats,
he will represent your interests bet
ter than any trimmer, trickster or
demagogue. Stand by your nominee!
“CMckens will come home to
Boost.”
Tom Swearingen now denies that
he introduced the “chicken resolu
tion,” but when the papers all re
ported it as the production of T. A.
Swearingen of Decatur county, he
did noi deny it , but now he grows
indignant at the mention of it.
■Whether he introduced it or not he.
voted forit,. and if any one don’t be
leive it, let him call at this office, and
see the public record of his vote.- We
can produce it. Colored men beware
of him : he voted for a resolution* to
prohibit your wives from raising
chickens. If lie did once, he may
do it again.

Bfenj. F. Bruton, the independent
candidate for Senator, voted against
all committees for the purpose of in
vestigating the illegality of the bonds
issued by Bullock. He thus ap
proved, and would have sustained
the frauds and robberies perpetrated
upon our people by Bullock, Blodg
ett and Kimball. Honest voter are
vou willing to return such a man to
the Senate who has shown such a
reckless disregard of the peoples’
j iterest ?

claims «?) for the sena-
TORSIIIP.
It is with great surprise and rnor
(tification that we heat good; Demo
crats in otrr midst advocating the
claims of the gentleman whose name
beads this article, in preference to
the regular and patriotic nominee of
our party. And the absurdity of the
thing is, the frivolous reasons, that
are given for the advocacy of Mr.
Bruton’s candidacy. Some say, he
is a Liberal Republican, and we
ought not to ignore Liberal Repub
lican's. If he he a Liberal Republi
can, thetr hi* constituency and sup
porters enaght to be found in the
ranks of his own party. Assuredly
he can claim nothing at the hands of
Democracy ; who owe him nothing,
neither a debt of gratitude nor a
debt of honor. We would not ig
nore Liberal Republicans who are
with us on present issues, but where
is the logic in the Democratic party
giving to a Liberal Republican office,
who cannot bring from his own par
ty a corporal s guard of supporters ?
; The idea fs preposterous of a great
■ party abandoning its regular nom>-
: nee in order to cast its support for
: a member of a different party who
will not get fifty negro votes in the
i District, and not ten white votes who
claim to be Liberal Republicans.—
5 Why, gentlemen, it is a reflection on
our good common sense to urge such
a reason. If you wish to vote for
Bruton, pray do it straight, and do
not offer such a flimsy pretext as this*
Others again say, that they would
like to vote for Mr. Bruton, because
he is a representative man,, would
advance the material interest of our
city and county, and would benefit
us more in the Senate than any one
else whom we could send. If this
be true, then we are in favor of im
porting a few carpet-baggers to do
the legislating of the Bth District,
whose wild-cat projects and financial
blundering would, we verily believe,
be an improvement on the legislative
pretensions of the ex-Senator who has
essayed to represent our District for
the past four years. We do not
think any honest man can certainly
urge this latter reason in favor of
Mr. Bruton, who is at all acquainted
with the
crued to our city and county under
his engineering direction.
Who does not know that when the
Gulf Road first reached our city, that
great enterprise which has so mate
rially benefited us all, that Mr. Bru
ton was its most bitter enemy, when
every patriotic citizen should have
been its friend, and did all in his
, power to cripple its strength by put
ting in a claim for heavy damages,
amounting to about $15,000 for right
aof way through his city property.
Who* does not know that the award
of commissioners gave him only
$9,000, and that he was dissatisfied
with this. Who does not know that
he went to Atlanta- in order to use
his Senatorial' office for - the purpose
of getting control of the Gulf Road
to manage it in his own interest ?
And who does not know that the
Gulf Road was compelled to employ
attorneys and to keep them in At
lanta during an entire session of the
Legislature in order to checkmate
his ruinous schemes ?
Who does not know that he was
President of the B. C. & C. Railroad,
'and that it was he who induced the
city of Bainbridge to subscribe $34,-
1 000 of A. &, G. Railroad stock for
$17,900 of B. C. & C; Railroad stock—
and in?addition, to subscribe $50,000
in city bonds, bearing seven per cent,
interest to his said B. C. & C. Rail
road ; and- that the city of Bain
bridge acttually paid $3,500 as in
terest on said, bonds; Afterwards
it is true, all the stock raised by the
city of Bainbridge, amounting, to
$67,000 in the B. C. & C. Railroad
w r as given up for the return of the
$50,000 in bonds subscribed, but by
this arrangement our city lossed its
entire stock amounting to $34,000
pi the A. & G.- Railroad besides the
$3,500 interest paid- upon its bonds.
And ah this was the result of the
manipulation and engineering of
Benj. F. Bruton. ‘Who doubts it ?
Not only did'Bainbridge lose in the 1
B. C. & C. Railroad, which was a
signal failure, but private individuals
of our, and> adjoining counties
have lossed then* paid subscriptions
in that wild-cat road of which Mr.
Bruton was the father. No public
enterprise that Mr. Bruton has ever
undertaken, has succeeded* Tell us
something that he has done ? His
public life has been a complete fail
ure. With such a record what claim
has he to- the- Senatorship, even if
we had no regular nominee in the
field?
Don’t forget the election next
Wednesday, October 2d, for Gover
nor, Senator and Representatives.
The Election.
Don’t forget that next Wednesday
is electiin day. Let every Demo
crat, Liberal Republican and friend
of peace and order turn out, and roll
up a handsome majority for the con
stitutional ticket.
No tittle importance is attached to
this election. ’Tis true, only Gov. Sen
ators and members of the House are
to be elected, but the result will be
counted as a real measure of arms,
and the triumph or defeat of our
party will have much to do with the
great elections that are to follow,
and our forces, far and near will be
encouraged and rejoiced at our vic
tory, or will dislieartend and par
alized more or less, at our inglorious
defeat.
Georgians, the eyes of America
are on you, and every man is expect
ed to do his duty. Remember, that
every voter ivho stays at home, is so
much assistance rendered the “ rule
or ruin ” party. Their boast and
cry is, the Democrats are paralized
and indifferent. God of Liberty, is
this so ? Is the great and free spirit
of our Father's dead ? Are we be
come a race of slaves, mere tools in
the hands of tyrants and traitors,
“ instruments of thir great designs ?”
Are we, the should be freemen of
this great and glorious country, a
common prey, for the miserable car
pet-baggers, scallawags, thieves and
scoundrels ? Shall we let our father
land be the forage ground of adven
turers and thieves? Arise men of
Decatur, Georgians,
“ Strike for your alters and your fires,
Strike for the green graves of your sires,
God and your native land.”
A Traitor iu the Radical Camp.
Rrimbery has said, since his nom
ination that he is no Republican ;
that lie is just making capital out of
the fool niggers, or words of like im
port.
Colored man, stop and think
“ Sharper than a serpent’s tooth,” is
an enemy who comes in the guise of
brotherhood. Can you vote for such
a. one ? Had you not rather trust a
man who honestly tells you he is a
Democrat, but is in favor of the col
ored man’s having the same rights
under the law, as the white man ?
Brimbery made the above state
ment and to one whom colored men
have heretofore voted for, and whom
they would Vote for again were he a
candidate. We mean Col. W. T.
Cox, foimerly Mayor of Bainbridge.
Col. Cox says he can, prove it by sev
eral gentlemen who were present at
the time. Brimberry either meant it,
or he was dishonestly lying. In
either case he does not desire your
votes. We refer you: to another ar
ticle in this paper for other eviden
ces of his dishonestly and unmanly
cifljkluct.
Our Candidates for the House:
Dr. J. A. Butts, is too well known
in Decatur coaMy that we need not
recount his merits to the people.—
For fifteen years he has practiced
physic in this city and county, and
has won for himself a reputation in
his profession, that he may w T ell be
proud of. In his practice and his
private life, he is esteemed by all
who know him, generous to & fault,
he never turns a deaf ear to the poor
and afflicted. Many a poor man,
black as well as white, can remem
ber the time when he applied to him
for relief, and never was he turned
away without aid, and if he can
credit what we hear, they will re
member him next Wednesday.
Mr. Butler, is a true representa
tive of that most honored class of
citizens, the backbone of our county,
the intelligent farmer. When the
test that tries men’s souls, we will
not fear for lsiin. As true as the
needle to the hole is Mr. Butler to
his word, his duty, his honor and
his country. Hurrah for the two B’s.
Tax Collectors.
We give the subjoined letter as
defining the duties of Tax Collectors.
Query. Has the law been complied
with in this county ? If not, why is
it, that the proper authorities do* not
have the law complied with :
Gojift-'r General’s Offce, )
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 29, 1872. j
J. T Kottman, Tax Collector, Thom
dsvitte,. Ga.
Sir— -Your letter of the 27th iustant
has been received. It is your duty-to pub
lish. at the Court- House door your insol
vent list for 1871, and to furnish election
managers of the county a list of all per
sons who have not paid their taxes for
that year, in accordance with paragraph 7,
section 9117 Irwin's Code, and all persons
who have not paid all taxes which may
have been required of them, and which
they may have had" an opportunity
of paying, agreeably to law for the year
next nreceeding the election, cannot, under
the Constitution, be allowed to vote.
'•'he payment of the tax for the year
1871 entities the citizens to vote in the
election of the present year, and you will
receive the tax for the j'ear and receipt
accordingly, although the tax payer may
be in arrears for former years. In case of
default in the payment of poll tax
for 1871. you will collect one dollar as
poll tax and one dollar as penalty for fail
ure to comply with the law.
Respectfully,
Madison Bell, Comp. Genl.
“ Vox Populi, Vox Dei.”
If every man will do his whole
duty next Wednesday, the, victory is
ours. Hundreds cf men in this
county have not voted since the war,
but they must be brought out this
once, anyhow. Help each other. If
your neighbor has no horse to go to
the election, lend him one, if he is
sick make him an easy bed in your
wagon or cart and carry him ; if he
is indifferent persuade him to go out;
if his family is sick so that they need
his services, let your wife or your
daughter go to his liouse, and ad
minister to them while lending a
helping hand to his country. Don’t
wait for your neighbor to make the
firat effort, but vie with each other
in doing the most good.
Don’t become discouraged for we
are masters of the situation, if all
help. The man who won’t go to the
polls and cast his vote for what he
think#right,.is no less a coward, than
the soldier who goes for the wagon
train, when the roar of the; cannon is
heard in the front, and is as much a
citizen in spirit as what was known
in the army as wagon dogs and de
serves the mantle of lead which
Dante apportions to cowards in the 1
lower regions.
To vote is a great duty every man
owes to his country. By the ballot
alone, is the will of the people ascer
tained, and the will of the people is
the fiat of the country, and we ver
ily believe his Christian duty too.
Your country expects every man
to do Iris duty.
BRIMBEHKY AGAIN.
llis Hate of the Colored Man—
He Furnishes Guns to Kill
Them at the Camilla Riot—He
says “ Niggers have no Souls ”
—His Conversion and Baptism
into the Radical Camp-
Until three weeks ago, Brimberry
w r as a “ redhot Democrat ” and wrote
for a paper that claimed to be Dem
ocratic, the Camilla Herald. No
man in the country w r as more prol
- in his abuse of Radicalism than
he. He w r as noted for his extreme
hate foi the colored men, and when
the great Camilla Riot took place,
he was in such haste to furnish guns
to kill the “ damned niggers ” that
he bursted open several cases of arms
in his store and gave them out to
the white men, and these same guns
belched forth the deadly missile that
made many of the colored men bite
the dust. Was he with you then,
colored men ?
Since that time and up to the day
of his nomination, he argued in pub
lic and on the public streets, that a
nigger has no .soul, and is a brute, a
mere animal, and can never go to
heaven. Brimberry dare not deny
that he said it, for the proof is at
hand. Why is he a Radical? Three
weeks ago It. H. Whiteley, went to
his house and set up with him a day
and night and in all probability
promised him the nomination, for
the Senate, and the support of the
colored voters, if he would “ come
over” The temptation was too great
for liis cupidity and avarice, and he
yielded submission to the tempter,
not because lie loves the nigger or
the Republican party, but because
he loves their votes.
Go, colored man on next Wednes
day to the polls and vote for the man
who s&ys, that you, your wives and
little ones are as soulless as your
dogs, who furnished guns to slaugh
ter' your brethren, and who now
says he is now at heart against you
What Greeley says of the Color
ed People.
In the following speech Mr. Gree
ley gives his view's fully as to this
class. It puts to rest the many lies
resorted to by Grant’s political flies
that swarm the country to induce
the colored people to believe that he
is in favor of reducing them to slav
ery again :
Louisville, September 23.— -Mr . Gree
ley, discussing the colored question, said;
Fellow-citizens, if our movement should
prevail, as I trust it will prevail, we will
sweep away all this refuge of lies iu three
months. We will- say to the colored men
we proffer you nothing except protection
of the laws—the same for you as for us.—
you have your living to earn as well as we
have. You will have to use all your abili
ties, all your energies, all your faculties,
and make the most of them you can. The'
laws do not favor you. They will thorough
ly protect you; and iu three months, if we
succeed, the colored people will be so disa
bnssd that the same men can never deceive
them again—never again!
But suppose we fail, (and we may fail)
if the colored men did not believe that the
power was against us -that money was
against us—if they did not realize
that the treasury, the army—the one
hundred thousand office holders were all
banded against us in a force which they
believe we cannot overcome, they certainly
would not be so universally hostile to us.
Why they think we cannot succed and
they want tobe upon the winning side.—
That is part of it. but they are also delud
ed in regard to our purposes.
We say we are not your enemies, we
will not be your oppressors. AVe will not,
though you have done us injustice, we will
try. as well as we can, to have your chil
dren educated and enlightened so that the
mistake you have made cannot be made
over and over again.

GREELEY AT CINCINNATI.
The number on the streets during
the reception is variously estimated
some placing it at from fifty to
seventy-five thousand, while others,
more enthusiastic in their calcula
tions, say that over one hundred
thousand persons witnessed the
arrival of the great Farmer of Cliap
paqua in our city. Certain it is, we
do not remember of any man ever
receiving a reception so enthusiastic,
and at the same time without any
apparent preparation’. It was simply
an outpouring of the people, anxious
to pay a just and merited tribute to
an honest mam
The Indiana Straight, Major
Moreau, lias sued the Indianapolis
Sentinel for libel. Commenting on
his persistent determination to coerce
Charles O’Connor to accept the
nominatian forced upon him at Louis
ville, the Sentinel remarked: “So
Mr. O’Connor has no rights that the
man with three wives is bound to
respect,” whirii tbo Major thinks is
worth about $20,000, as set forth by
his attorneys iu his legal complaint.
The Sentinel, in response, reproduces
from the records es the Superior
Court the complaint of Minerva
Moreau, in which she' petitions for a
divorce on the ground that the gal
laat Major, after having; obtained
possession of of her property, consis
ting of moneys, goods, wares* mer
chandise, etc., and- without paying
any considerable part of his debts,
or “even the debt contracted for his
and her boaefing,” abandoned her,
taking with him a large sum of
money. She charges that lie used
false pretences to get posession of her
property, converted it to his own
use, and then left her without any
means of support. ,
Massachusetts Conservatism.—
The mammoth codfish suspended in
the Hall of Representatives at the
State House, is a fit emblem of politi
cal ideas in this Commonwealth—
salted, dried, and warranted to keep
their original flavor in any climate
for any length of time.
Mrs. M. Adele Haslett made a
two-hour Grant speech at Lansing,.
Michigan, oa> Monday nights
Happily for this Commonwealth
the mood of these tyranical theives
and thugs is sealed. Nothing can
save Hartranft now. His overwhel
ming defeat is as certain as that the
sun will rise on the Bth day of Octo
ber. Alleghany and the whole West
is aflame with indigsatton at- the
audacious attempt of Cameron & Cos.
to impose this man Hartranffc upon
the Commonwealth as its Governor,
and to elevate a notorious lobbyist
and shameless corruptionist to- the
office which Hartranft has disgraced.
Lancaster county is in open revolt.
So is Luzerne; and- scarcely a eounty
in the State will give anything near
its fall Republican vote to Hartranft
and Allen. Philadelphia cannot now
be carried for them on a fair poll;
yet, supposing the Ring to count up
a false majority of 10,000 for them
in this city, careful estimates show
that they will be beaten in the State
by from 8,000 to 10,000.— Forney's

The discovery of anew “Mammoth
Cave” in Boone county, Ky. is re
ported, and is causing much excite
ment. The local papers say that
the neighborhood has been the re
sort of picnics for years; and jet
until July 16, itjhas remained entire

explored, is said to be more than
two miles long, and contains single

How the Grant Gang Propose to
Buy their Master’s Election
The New York correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial shows up
in a late letter how the grant mana
gers in that city, propose to buy his
election. He says:
Two years ago, in the State elec
tion, $95,000 was raised from the
customhouse. This year for the
Grant election, under the increased
assessment, SIIO,OOO are to be rais
ed from the same place, while the
Collector himself, it- is understood,
is down for $25,000 —making $135,-
000 out of this customhouse alone.
Besides this, there are a number of
special assessments for local jtolitical
purpose, which will amount to a
large additional sun*. In other
blanches of the public services in
New York the political assessments
are levied in the same way. Next
to the customhouse in importance
is the Brooklyn navy yard, which
has six thousand persons connected
with it or dependent upon it. From
this place it is estimated that about
about $70,000 can be raised during
this month and next; but to swell
the aggregate sum, as well as to
swell the aggregate number of votes
for Grant in tixat locality, two thous
and additional hands are to be taken
into this yard next month. Then
there are the assessments on the
internal revenue functionaries, esti
mated at $30,000; the assessment on
tlie internal revenue functionaries,
estimated at $30,000; the assessment
on tlie postoffice, say $10,000; the
assesssment on the Marshal’s office
on the United States Courts, and on
the military headquarters. Tlie in
formant from whom we get these
facts, and who is necessarily posted
about the matter through his official
and political position estimates the
entire amount to be raised by politi -
cal assessment, within about thirty
days, from the office holders iu New
York, at nearly $350,000.-
Trait, of the Palatka re
lates the following: Sixteen miles
west of this place lives Esquire Futch,
whose not'ce has been called to
the fact that for some time he has
missed a cow or steer, hogs, etc.—
Not far from his premises there is a
pond or water-hole, very deep, and
he was led to suppose that some
monster inhabited the place. One
evening he very quietly seated
himself with his gun near by to
watch. A two-year old steer came
down to drink, when a huge alliga
tor reared himself up and caught
the steer by the n os4’ and dragged
him inlo the (water. The conflict
was an uneven one, and the alliga
tor was raster of the situation. The
Squire discharged both barrels, but
failed to make .an impression on the.
monster. He says that the animal
is the most terriable looking fieast
he ever saw, and supposes that he
must have travelled during the dry
term to that poiAi in search of
water. —>Sav Neics.
r l he New “Stock LAW.”
Th e. Columbus Enquirer finds the pro
visions of this law briefly stated in the
Early County News. It appears that the
law is only to go into operation in the
counties that accept it, and the inode of
acceptance or rejection is provided in the
act. A “legal friend” gives the News the
following information concerning the pro*
visions of the act: “The law declares
that the boundary line of each lot, tract
or parcel of land shall be a lawful fence.
It prevents stock of every description from
running at large, or beyond the boundary
line of its owner’s lands; provides a sum
mary process for the recovery of damages
committed by stock trespassing upon an
other's lands: and the punishment for the
malicious impounding of another’s stock.
This act has no effect in any county un
less fifty freeholders petition the Ordinary
of the county for its benefits. When this
is done, the Ordinary makes the fact
known by publication, when, if no coun
ter petition is filed, the act becomes opeta
tive. But if fifty freeholders sign a coun
ter petition, the Ordinary can go no far
ther, unless the first petition is supported
by the names of twenty-five additional
freeholders; then the Ordinary must sub
mit the question to the legal voters- of the
county. If a majority vote “no fence,”
then the act goes into operation six months
hereafter.
