A Truth Weil Told!
We desire especially to commend the
following to the readers and patrons of
newspapers everywhere. It embraces
truths entitely lost sight of by a large
proportion of the citizens of Carters
ville, as well as other places. Read it:
“Nothing is more common than to
hear people talk ot what thev pay
newspapers for advertising, 4' c -« as 50
much given in charity. Newspapers,
by enhancing the value of property in
their neighborhoods, and giving the
localities in which they are published
a reputation abroad, benefit all such,
particularly if they are merchants o r
real estate owners, thrice the amount
yearly of the meagre sum’which they
pay tor their support. Besides, every
public-spirited citizen has a laudable
pride in having a paper which he is not
ashamed of, even though he should
pick it up in New York or Washington.
A good looking, thriving sheet helps to
sell property ; gives character to the
locality ; in ail respects is a desirable
public convenience. If, from any
cause, the matter in the local or editorial
columns should not be quite up to your
standard, do not east il aside and pro
nounce it of no account until you are
satisfied that there has not been any
more labor bestowed upon it than is
paid for. If you want a good, readable
sheet, it must be supported, and it must
not be supported in a spirit of charity
cither, but because you feel a necessity
to support it.
Fraulilin Pierce on (lie I>emo
cralic Victories.
Concord, N. H. Oct. 12.—Franklin
Pierce was serenaded at Concord, N.
IL, on Wednesday night, and said, I
warn you, my friends, to note the lact
that these triumphs, whatever they may
be, are no party triumphs. The peo
ple have risen in their majesty, with a
conscientiousness of llteir power, ape
disregnidirg party lines and party as
perities have been silently considering
what belongs to them, their children
and their country. I think the great
bailie has been fought and won. II
the results are significant in nothing
else they are in this, that the white
race, our race —the German, French,
Italian, Irish, Scotch and Anglo-Saxon
people —are still to be tbe controlling
power on ibis continent.
Internal Revenue Decisions. —The
Commissioner ol Internal Revenue has
made the following decisions :
“A person does not become liable to
any special tax by reason of threshing
grain.
• •An advancement made by a father
to his cbihi should be taxed as legacy
upon the death of the father if it cot|£
stitules a part of the assets of the es
tates liable for the debts in case the
estate is insolvent, whether it actually
prove so or not.
••In assessing a cuccession tax upon
a tract of land on which there is a
mortgage, no allowance should he
made on account of the mortgage. It
there be an unquestionable good de
fence to it, such as the statute of
limitations, tHe waiving of his own
legal rights by the successor does not
affect the right of the United States.
“A change of all or of part of the
individual members of a firm is a
change of the firm, and the new firm
should be required to pay a special tax
from the first day ol the month in
which it commences business, (lnt.
Rev., Rec., vol. 6, page 44.) li the
firm be a firm of dealers, and the sales
of tbe Old firm are less than Si,ooo the
special tax paid by it will be refunded
upon an application made in proper
form. 11 the tax paid is that of a
wholesale dealer, and at the time of the
change the sales did not exceed 525,-
000, S4O or SSO will be refunded
according to whether the sales exceed
Si,ooo or not.”
Advance in C oiton Marke(s.
The Liverpool Market reports oi
yesterday up to 2 p.tn., received here
at 8:30 last night, indicated a very de
cided change for the better. Up to
that hour the sales were estimated up
to 20,000 bales, Middling Upland be
ing quoted at B]<i, Orleans B§d. It is
highly probable the market closed at
an advance on these prices, and we
look for a strong reaction, on the
strength of Liverpool, in New Y’ork and
the home market to-day.
An old lady announced in court in
Atlanta that she “had no counsel” —
that God was her “lawyer,” “My dear
madam,” replied the judge, “he does
not practice in this court.”
The Atlanta Intelligencer reports the
arrival in that city of a youth, in
charge of an Alabama farmer, who is
believed to belong to a regularly or
ganized band of horse thieves now
operating between that section and Al
abama, on a very extensive scale.
The “Rising Sons of Liberty” is the
title of a negro organization in the sev

character which is creating no little

Communicated,
Editors Cartersville Express:
The time is rapidly approaching
when the registered voters will be call
ed upon to elect delegates to a conven •
lion to remodel or frame anew consti
tution for our state. Delegates are to
be elected by Senatorial districts—this
count} 7 , Floyd and Chattooga compo
sing one district, and, under theotders
orde-ing the election, entitled to five i
delegates. Those who are under tbe
reconstruction act entrusted v,iih the
elective franchise should use more than
their accustomed caution in selecting
men to represent them in a body which
will represent the sovretgti will of the
state, and upon whom will devolve the
important duty of framing the otganic
law of the state. That body will be of
much greater importance than a mere
legislative body ; for if an obnoxious
law be passed by a Legislature it is
an easy matter to have it repealed : not
so hewever with a constitution fornu-d
to be permanent* Under a clause in
tbe present state constitution, it can on
ly be amended or changed by a Con
vention of tbe people called for that
purpose, and it is probable that any lu
turc constitution t hat may be adopted
will contain a similar clause : it is
therefore of the most vital importuce to
the whole people of the stale that we
send our best and wisest men. I don’t
mean our visionary and brilliant men,
but men of practical common sense,
who can urderstand and properly ap
preciate our truecondition, and possess
the foresight and nerve to favor stick
measures as will the most speedily a
meliorate our situation. That we
have such men in our midst, all must
concede—l am gratified to learn that
Col.. J. R* Parrott, the able and en
ergetic. Solicitor General of the Chero
kee Circuit, has consented to become
a candidate for the convention. He is
well known to the citizens of the coun
ty —having resided amongst us Irom
his youth to the proseut time, and is
fully indentified with everything Uat
will tend to our prosperity as a people,
I am not informed as to his views upon
every question that may come betore
tbe convention, but know that he is ic
saver of holding a conventi<H! as the
'"Sit speedy and successful mode of
helping us out of our present anoinilclk*
condition, and that he deeply sym, *-
thises with the oppressed, distrested
and pressed class ol our citizens. It
will be recollected by many, that at ihe
march term of the Superior Court of
this county, when a motion was be
fore the court lor a decision on the con
stitutionality of the stay law, that he
made an able argument in favor of sus
taining the law —knowing the senojas
consequences upon the people that i
decision adversed to its constitutional
ity would have. The Court with x’eep
regret, felt it to be his duty to deciui!
the law unconstitutional ; and we n<kr
see the fruits of turning the creditor
loose up the debtor. Large quantities
of properly is levied on to be sold uni
tier the sheriffs hammer, and unless
some relief is granted, many families-j
--women and children —old and ’infirm-|-
wiil be turned out of house and homL
and added to our already long paupjr
list. With that class l know Col If.
has a deep heart-felt sympathy.-jl-
Whilst he belongs to the creditor clag|.
having considerable amounts owing xy
him, and owes but lit tie, is, and lih.s
been willing to sacrifice ail upon i
common altar for the good of his count
try. An impoverished people will 1
for relief from titer future indebtedness,
in some wav at the hands of the con
vention. Ilad the stay law of the last
snd previous session of the Legislature
been permitted to run its course, the
people might have weathered the storm
and finally discharged their indebted
ness, hut since that law is disregarded
: n 1 practically dead, the crushing weig 1 t
of all the indebtedness pressed upon
them at one time, is more than the peo
ple (or debtor class) can bear. It is.
therefore the duty o! tlia people not on
ly to send men to the convention who
are willing to grant relief, but to elect
men who possess the ability to divide
practical measures of relief, and who
also have the energy and nerve to press
them through successfully.
At the election for delegates to the
Constitutional Convention ot 1865, tne
people of this county honored Col. j
Parrott with a seat in that body—giv-j
ing the highest vote ol any candidate ;
in the field. Those present at that
Convention well recollect with what
distinguished ability Col. P. conduct
ed himself, during the suiting of that •
body. He participated in the discus- ,
ston of most of the more important |
questions betore the convention, and it j
is gratifying to his li tends, to know
that he was recognized as one ol the j
ablest debaters of that body. Ihe
question that probably elicited most .
discussion in that convention, was on |
tiie Ordinance to repudiate the v, 7 ar
debt of the State. Col. P. delivered .
one of the ablest speeches in favor of
tlie passage ol the ordinance that was
made during the discussion. He would
have been, personally, a gainer by the |
defeat of the measure, anti the pa\ ment
by the State, of that debt, but rather .
than see an impoverished people sad
dled with taxation to pay an enormous
debt of many millions, lie threw the .
weight of ins influence and talents in
favor of wiping the whole debt out of
existence, it having been created, as it j
turned out to be. for an illegal purpose,
and however much the people were
then divided upon that question, all
-.mist now consider tbe sagacity and
wisdom of the policy adopted by the
Convention, in relieving the people of
a Lurdsn too grievous to be borne. \
That Col. Parrott will again be tri* ;
lmphantly elected, and take a leading j
and active part in the ensuing Conven
tion, 1 have not a doubt. While I
have attempted lu.lv to set some of the .
merits oi Col. Parrott before the people. ;
I would not depreciate tbe merits of
others who are already, and who may
become, candidates for the Convention.;
Each voter iu this district will be en
titled to vote for five candidates, and I
presume there will be a sufficient num
ber of candidates from which to make
a se'edion of ffood and true men, who
will consult the interests of the whole
peoulc. ui every mca-i.re they may
adopt, and give the debt-burdened peo
ple such relief as the pressing exegency
of their condition demands. R.
For the Express.
Country, Ourself and Relief.
Messrs. Editors ;
In your issue oflast week, a certain
gentleman of the legal fraternity, under
the name of “The Country,” assails
my article of the week before, on the
subjeet of Relief for the People.
lie commences upon me, in his osti
al manner of speaking cf me—as 3/nr
tial Sheriff, Unconstitutional Officer —
would he Loyalist &e. 1 shall take
no exceptions to such remarks, lurther
than to apprize him of the fact, that
these sayings have become somewhat
stale—ard if the fact of my appoint,
ment still troubles him, he may gain
relief by joiniug in with his friends
who have been so industriously at
1 work to have me removed, but I would
certainly not advise him to follow in
tbe foot-steps of his able predeessor
and ad vtser, the Col. , who could
not sleep or rest until he had called in
person on Gen. Pope and explained to
him the unconsiitutionaluy of his acts.
Friend Country informs your read
ers that I have made many misstate
ments, errors and inconsistencies, and
so many false impressions. Will he
please point them out singly—that I
may have an opportunity ol convincing
him that he is not the person who
can correct any of those statements?
I am well aware that toy views on
the subject, of “Relief” (as well as all
otlters) differ very materially from his,
but I do not think that it necessarily
follows that his ate right and mine
wrong.
1 have said that to pay our indebted
edness would wrench from many an
honest but poor man, his last dollar &c.
I reiterate the same—but friend Coun
try cites the Homestead Law, to prove
that such is not the case. How many
of the poor, now have fifty acres eff
land, a horse, cow &e.?
If we have a Homestead Law that
exempts fifty seres of land which may
be v.'in'th <j?5000 to its civ net —why
cLvuld u not os Weil exempt the same
umount of merchandize, stuck, money
or any other article—giving to a person
anything he may see proper to invest
in ; if the one is right the other is e
qually so.
He says not one in ten have what
the law allows them, we know »hat not
one in twenty has it, and never will
have it.
lie harps considerably on the Bank
rupt Law, atid advises the people to
avail themselves of its benefits—-
which is needless advice Irom him, as
the course which he is pursuing will
soon drive the entire Southern people,
into involuntary Bankruptcy.
He admits for argument’s; sake, that
Repudiation is possible, but also says
it will injure no one but tbe poor man
—that he depends alone on his good
name and credit—this is not the case,
the poor man depends alone on his
daily labor, upon the sweat of his
brow, by which to gain a support for
himself and parents.
Show me the man who can now run
a yearly account, and I wiil show you
a rarity —not but what our merchants
are as humane, feeling and obliging, as
they ever were ; ; but they have not the
capital to operate on and consequently,
cannot do a tredit business-
It is nonsense for him or any others
in say that *'Kelief lor the People” or
“Repudiation,” if he so calls it, would
destroy, derange and cripple every
character of business and encourage
tnen to deception and robbery of their
neighbors,
1 say give ns some certain relief,
which will stand our farmers, our me
chanics, and our laborers on their feet
again—this would give a fresh impulse
to every branch of business. Every
thing would thrive and prosper and all
would be encouraged to begin life
anew, as it were, and with a ten-fold
energy.
He again says, “laws afe made For
the benefit of all the members of socie
ty —not for a few.” This is precisely
what I am seeking, a law which will
benefit all, or the greatest possible
number—with such a law in toice we
might wipe out and begin anew ; our
energies are prostrate, ourselves dis
couraged and something must and will
be done through the Convention.
Mr. Country remarks “ there is no
reason in our private debts but this
las nothing to do with the point at
ssue. I believe the Government wish
es us well—wishes us to prosper—can
ye do so without assistance ? Can we
ever shoulder our debts anti rise with
tlem ? I answer, emphatically, no,
never; and that Government—that
Congress—which would refuse us ad
nisston into die Union, because we
night have an enabling act engrafted
iuour Constitution, which would again
gi/e us prosperity, is not the Govern
tifnt or Congress which 1 would love
o respect.
I Talk about “kicking us out until we
: larn better,” say that “Repudiation is
' a complete humbug,” call it Policy
a Electioneering movement, anything
yin please —it matters not what—l am
ntfpolicy man—no juggler—no poli
tiian—to change with the wind, as
; sei-interest may dictate.
I Bail you say as much, brother Coun
tra? why get so excited? why labor
sohard to prove your position? It is
utiecessarv to ask you these questions,
orat least to expect an answer, know
in. as the people do, that you belong
toi professional class, who arc inler
esid —a class, v. ho generally denounce
; allrelief measures.
Aell, would you advise us to go
ini Bankruptcy ? It is a harvest for
livyers, but the people unde-eiand
U) they know some ol them
tj their sorrow) ihat self-interest is
V) prompter —caring but very little
uUt may befall a whole country so
tL. you and yours may prosper.
