«en. Grant-Row They Got Him. We always thought it strange, in a shrewd and economical point of view, that Gen. Grant (Hiram, Sam, or Ulysses, whatever lus'name may be—a question yet in dispute,) should con sent to give up the command of the army and his pay of 816,000 a year for life, in order to he President for four years—if he gets it—at $25,000 a year. The St. Paul Pioneer explains the mystery. The Rads were obliged to have him, for their cause, already a stench in the people’s nostrils, was not to be relied upon,and the gunpowderpo pularity and blocdy butchery of Grant was the only hopeful card in their pack. Accordingly, when Ulysses went to figuring up his losses by be coming their candidate, they had noth ing to do hut to buy him up to head their ticket. The St. Paul paper thus tells the story : GRANT t'AID $300,000 AND BOUGHT UP TO BE A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDA IE. Grant holds a life office, worth $16,- 000 a year at least. When the bond holders and gold sharks first appealed to him to be a candidate for President, he represented the common sense view of the case, that he could not afford it —that it would he folly for him to throw up a life office worth $16,000 a ) ear for a four years’ office worth # $25,000 a year. In order to overcome this scruple, the gold ring entered into an accurate calculation of how much he would sacrifice, by taking the office of President. He is now say 45 years of age, and may live till he is seventy. An office worth $16,000 annually, would produce in twenty five years $400,000. But the Presidency four years would only produce SIOO,OOO, or in other words, he would lose $300,000, by throwing up the generalship, even if he was elected President. It is a matter ot fact and susceptible of proof, that the corrupt ring who made Grani the candidate, then raised the amount of money —$300,000 —and gave it to him, in consideration of his consent to become the Radical Presidential can didate. Now, suppose Grant should be elect ed, whose President would he be? Would he be the President of the peo ple, or of the ring that has already bought him up ? It is impossible that he should accept this immense gift without placing himself under irredeem able obligations to the men who contributed it. He has been already bought with a price. He is no longer his own owner, but the property ol the gold and bond ring, the tariff ring, the whisky ring, the thieves, speculators, contractors, shoddy lords, mill owners, bondholders and national bankers gen erally, who paid their money for him. He cannot be independent, for, in ac cepting their money, he has parted with liis independence. He cannot be honest, for, in selling himself he has parted with his honesty, ll among tfie misfortunes that a good Providence has in store for us, is to be his election to the Presidency, we should have the mere tool of the bondocracy. and all the corrupt rings in the chair of the Chief Magistrate. With this disgraceful state of facts, the declaration ol Grant that lie would have “no policy,” acquires new sig nificance. He will have no policy, for the men who paid him $300,000 will dictate his policy. The money with which he was bought will he President, and not himself. —Mobile Register. Good Points. There is a colored man in New Or leans, named Wii.lis Rollins, who has been bitterly persecuted and even vio lently used by men of his own race, because he cast his lot with the Democ racy, and was most influential in per suading mliers of his people to follow his example. That the Radical blacks were instigated by carpet-baggers and renegades to attack Rollins there is no doubt. But, in spite of every threat and positive maltreatment, Rollins has persisted in his course, and, at last suc ceeded, not only in securing the pro tection of llie white Democracy, but in rallying so si rung a cohort of his race that future menaces and assaults are likely to prove impotent or disastrous to those who employ such unfair weap ons. 'The points made by Rollins in his speeches are sound and effective ; so very effective, that the desperate carpet-bag intruders heartily desire his assassination, and have twice inspired their dupes to attempt it. These are Rollins’ points : 1. That the colored people were free, and the white people did not blame them for it. 2. That those who employ them, who .had reared or been reared with them, were their best friends. 3. That sit angers had made trouble between white and black, and that the weight of these conflicts fell upon the colored people. 4. That the colored race was now stronger than it would ever be again ; it stood as six millions to thirty mill ions of whites. That there could be no more immigration from the coast of Af rica, while the white people were pouring in from Europe and the North. 5. That a friendship now formed, when the colored people had much in their favor, would be much more per manent than when the power had been wrenched from them by superior white numbers in the future. 6. That those who owned the land and other property would dominate in the end, and were now much better friends than those who had come here prospecting, who brought nothing with them, and could do very little for the colored people. Every newspaper we receive from Louisiana furnishes evidence of the impression made by Rollins. The blacks of the Pelican State are desert ing Radicalism by the thousand, while Gov. Warmouth trembles at the pros pect and seeks refuge in a batch of des pieaLle falsehood*.-- Atlanta Con. Be temperate in diet. Our first pa rents ate themselves out of house and home. A Strong Point. We were deeply impressed bv a re mark madeby one of the colored speak ers who addressed the Democratic meeting on Saturday. Ir. opening, he remarked: “ This is the pleasantest political meeting I ever attended. I feel honored in standing before it. In all this vast congregation I see not a single hand grasping a club —no one carrying a gun —no one brandishing a sword or bowie knife. I wish I could say so of all meetings.” We hope our colored people—many of whom are disposed to do right—will mark the above declaration bv one of their own race, and a former President of the League. What he stated was true. The Democratic party is the party of peace—of law and order.— They have no use for guns and swords at their political meetings, as thev ap peal to men’s reason instead of their passions. Think of it,— Livingston Journal. We suppos the speaker alluded to is the same one who publishes the follow ing card in the same paper. He was formerly Piesideut of the League at Livingston : Mr. Editor : I understand my speech at the Democratic meeting last Satur day has given a good deal of dissatis laction to the members of the League. 1 have been called a traitor to my own party ou account of that speech. I was a member of that League, but I hereby publicly and openly declare that I no longer belong to it. Ido so, Mr Edi tor, because I believe the objects for which I thought it was organized have been i hanged. It is no longer a be nevolent institution, as I once thought it was. It no longer cultivates a spirit of harmony and good feeling, but on ‘.he other hand it stirs up bad feeling— whether intended or not. With these views 1 think it the part of wisdom and true manliness to withdraw from an organization that I believe no longer promotes good, instead of being a trait or. It is an easier matter to follow evil than to turn your back on it and do good. If after following the ways of the world and of sin, 1 see fit to join the Church of Christ, for my soul’s good, 1 might as well he called a traitor to the devil, as to be called a traitor for abandoning an organization whose objects I can no longer approve. Wise men change, but fools never do. I also withdraw from the League that I may act as a free man —to do as my sense may dictate. While lam bound up by an oath to support any man or party, I cannot act as a free man—l am not free. 1 have consulted my own judgment and the dictates of my own heart. Let me speak as I choose ; do what I think is right; then I can feel lam a free man. Now I am out, to do as I think proper towards myself, my God, and my country. John W. Little, Freedman. Livingston, Aug. 12, 1868. ItroKc Out of' Jail. Yesterday morning as Mr. Move, the Jailor, was having the cells of the Jail cleaned, one of the prisoners, who was employed to carry out the buckets, on his return to the cell, instead of en teiing the lock up. seized the gun that Mr. Moye had, and while straggling with him for its possession, ten other prisoners confined in the cells for va rious offenses, rushed out of the door which the Jailor had just unlocked to let the bucket carrier in, assisted the prisoner who was trying to get the gun from the Jailor, overpowered the latter, took his gun and escaped. The pris oners were all confined for small offens es but two. They were in for burglary. None of them had been tried. There still reman in the Jail fourteen—two of them have been tried and one of them convicted of murder. The others are awaiting trial. This method of making their escape had no doubt been all arranged the night previous, as the prisoner who carried the bucket did not attempt to get the Jailor’s gun until he unlocked the cell door to let him into the cell. We hope they may soon be arrested again and tried for the offenses, however small they may be, as they no doubt have been committed for misdemeanors, which are of every day occurrence, and which it is best (or society at large should be dealt I with to the extent of the law in such cases. The fact as an example to those who indulge in these petty offens es that they are punishable and that Me offenders will be punished for the com mission of such, will go far to heal this disease of doing wrong in a small way, upon the plea that “ taint nuffin much.” P. S.—Since writing the above we have learned that Mr. Moye was knocked down, stamped in his breast and seriously injured in his endeavors to prevent the escape of the Jail birds. Bad State of Affairs.— The dele gations to the barbecue at Marshallville yesterday from Oglethorpe and Mon tezuma, and for which a special train was sent down on Friday, did not at tend, owing to well-grounded appre hensions that a desperate gang of negroes would sack those two towns if too many of the white men left. The negroes in Dooly and one or two other of the lower counties, are pursuing a most dangerous and suicidal course. We warn them again to beware of what they do.— Macon Tel. Georgia Legislature.—Senate.— Aug. 24. —The Senate met persuant to adjournment, and was opened with prayer. Mr. Merrell moved to reconsider so much of the Journal of Saturday as relates to the action of the Senate in the ca6e of granting the prayer of Senator Lester, tilling the vacancy oc casioned by the ineligibility of A. A. Bradley. The Chair ruled the same out of order, as the Senator had been sworn in. The following bill of the House was read the first time, to-wit : A bill to fix the times of holding the Cherokee Superior Courts. A bill to alter the usury laws of this State. (Allows the rate of of interest per contract. This bill gave rise to a spirited debate, participated in by Messrs. Burns, Anderson, Hinton, Candler, Holcomb, Wooten, and Winn. SEEM j SAM Jj H.

We are requested to give notice that a Democratic Meeting will be held at the Court House, in Cartersville, on Tuesday. Sept. Ist, at 10 o’clock, A. M. The meeting is called to nominate Delegates to the Congressional Con vention. The Convention is to assemble, at Kingston, on the 9th day of Septem ber proximo, Congressional Nominating Conventions. The State Democratic Executive Committee, at its meeting, in Atlanta, on the 23d instant, passed the following resolution: Resolved, That the several Congres sional Districts in this State be recom mended to hold Conventions as early as practicable, to nominate their candi dates for Congress, and we suggest that the Conventions in each District be held on the Blh day of September. The Candidate for Congress. It will be seen, from a card from Gen Wm. r. Wofford, in another column, in response to a petition from citizens of Whitfield and Murray counties, that he announces himself a candidate for Congress, in the 7th Congressional District. Gen. W. would make us a good representative, and is our first choice, and we will give him otir hearty support, provided his candidacy is sanctioned by the Convention soon to assemble in Kingston. We shall feel in honor bound to support the nominee of that Convention. Other gentlemen are spoken of in this connection, and prominently among them is the present incumbent, Gen. P. M. B. Young.— As touching claims, we hold that any man has a claim to an office, provided he is eligible, qualified and legally elected. W 7 e would regret very much to see the contest made between (Jens. Wofford and Young, as they are both good men, good Democrats, and true patriots, and both alike enshrined in the affections of the people, We love and admire them both for their self sacrificing devotion to their country and race, as well as for their dignified and manly bearing and uniform gentle manly deportment. Then, let there he no contest between these two beloved and worthy sons of Georgia. Campaign Sheet. The Atlanta Constitution contained in its issue of the 23d instant, the great speech of Hon. Robert Toombs, deli vered ir. that city on the 23d July, together with other political documents of interest to the people. The proprie tors of that paper say they have issued a heavy edition, intending it to be a “regular campaign document,” which will be disposed of at five dollars per hundred, done up as may be desired. This will afford a good opportunity of spreading important political matter be fore the people ; and it being a season able time, it should not be overlooked by those who desire to disseminate information at a juncture so favorable. We learn, says the Chronicle 4* Sen tinel, of Augusta, that a large organiza-- lion of armed negroes has been dis covered in the lower part of the county. A few nights since they were found drilling and receivir.g new muskets, which were distributed from boxes like those in which the United States Gov ernment pack and transport their small arms. In a recent conversation Col Johnson informed the editor of the Augusta Constitutionalist, that having secured the neeessarry iron, the road would be completed and running from Columbia to Graniteville by the middle of No vember. Graniteville is about six miles from Augusta. A Returning Sense of Right. Captain Rufus E. Lester, who is spo ken of as a talented gentleman, has been permitted to take his seat in the Senate chamber of the legislature of Georgia, agreeably to the proposition of a member of that body. Having received the next highest vote cast for Senator in the First Congressional dis trict, he has been allowed, by a hand some majority, to occupy the position to which he was legally and justly entitled by the suffrages of his consti tuents. He fills the place recently oc cupied by the pretentious, ignorant and degraded felon Bradley, (Alpeoria.) whose impudence and insolence was in the highest degree repulsive. It is a proud record for the State that a returning sense of justice has been so strongly manifested on the part of Senators who have hitherto acted witli the Radicals in all their disorganizing movements against law and order.— May we not hope that this returning sense of right will continue to manifest itself, and that the State may yet be redeemed, and placed in her original position before the country at large? Gov. Bullock, true to his party pro clivities, proposad anew election to fill the vacancy, vet, in the face of his august majesty, and contrary to his preconceived determination, as shown by the promulgation of his unlawful edict, Senators, radicals, as they were, cast their votes in favor of seating the highly educated and polished repre sentative of the people whose suffrages justly entitle him to the position. We tmly hope he will be left undisturbed to fulfil the duties required ol him by his constituents. On tbeir Way to Cedar Town. The Rome Courier, of the 25th inst., announces that ott Monday morning last, Gen. Robert Toombs, Gen. J. B. Gordon, Col. J. D. Waddell, Hon. D. A. Yason, and Hon. J. R. Cowart, ar rived in that city, on their way to Cedar Town, where they are to address a large gathering of the people. The Courier says, “ These gentlemen are in fine health (except that some are hoarse from speaking in the open air) and in excellent spirits. They spoke hopefully of the political situation, and are sanguine that Georgia will be car ried for Seymour and Blair by an over whelming majority.” It further states that all these gentlemen, except Gen. Gordon, would address the people in Rome on Wednesday. Alarm In Charleston. By the Charleston, (S. C.) papers, i* is stated that Hon. J. P. Campbell started for Washington on the 24th instant, to present to the President an address from the people of Charleston, setting forth the. dangerous condition of the city, in the inability of the civil authorities to preserve peace if riots should arise, and announcing the de termination of the white people to be moderate, and avoid, as far as possible, all collision with the blacks, and asking the President to provide for the protec tion of the city. COMMUNICATIONS. THE ORPHAN SCHOOL AT CASSVILLE- This scitool, established by Mrs. McMurry, and supported by the liberal donations of stranger friends, is now in successful operation. Quite a large number of destitute orphans, whe would otherwise be whol ly deprived of all educational advanta ges, are here receiving such instruction as will fit them to become useful men and women; and it Is gratifying to know, that the children, by their dili gence and good behavior, show that they properly appreciate these advan tages. There is still room in the school for twenty more pupils, who will be receiv ed whenever they make application. This is a truly noble work, and one which commends itself at once to all right-minded people. The large number of children in our country, who have been made orphans and deprived of the means of education by the late war, should excite our warmest sympathy, and prompt us to earnest efforts in their behalf. Mrs. McMurry has spent much time and labor in this work, and the noble generosity with which the people of distant States have responded to her calls upon them, will be long and grate fully remembered by the people ol this community. _ B. Mr. Editor: As the election for member of Congress is fast approaching allow me to call the attention of the Democrats of this district to a few facts connected with our present Represen tative and his term, which expires the fourth of March next. You are well aware that General Young carried the flag of the Democratic party in triumph through a campaign in perhaps the darkest days of the party, and barely took his seat before the adjournment of Congress, and had no chance to participate in the legislation of the country; and now that Democratic principles are becoming once more triumphant, some propose to run anew candidate, to gather up the lanrels which their noble standard-bearer had almost within his grasp. Let it not be said that Democrats can deal thus unjustly with their leaders. Urge them through your columns to give the General another seat in the halls of Congress, and will maintain the honor of our fetate as he has ever done in his past life. Democrat. To Gen. Wm. T. Wofford. We, your fellow-citizens, of the coun ties of Murry and Whitfield, greatly desiring your services in the United States Congress, and knowing your patriotism and the disinterested love of your country, and all of her people, respectfully ask you to allow the use of your name in the approaching election in November next.

To C. B. Tucker, A. M. Eves, James Baker, and Jacob Holland : Gentlemen , —Your communication of late date, signed by yourselves and fifty one others of your neighbors, in the counties of Murrv.and Whitfield, ask ing me to become a candidate to repre sent the people of the 7th Congressional District, has been forwarded to me here, and as I expect to be absent from home to the 30th instant, take this Opportunity to say, I consent to your wishes, and announce myself a candi date for Congress. My friends have persistently, for some time, urged me to becotne a candidate, and nothing.but the constant assurances on their part that I can be of service to the country, has induced me to consent. I do not desire the position of itself, but as a means to do good for the people. If elected, my constant aim will be to benefit those I represent— all the peo ple, —and to give you no reason to regret having honored me with your confidence. I will take the opportuni ty between now and the election to make my views known to my fellow citizens in the several counties of the District. Thanking you and your neighbors for their partiality, 1 am as ever, your friend. Wm. T. Wofford. Who ought to be our next member of Congress ? In answer to this, we unhesitatingly say, Gen. Wm. T. Wofford. He is the representative man of North Geor gia. He is the people’s man. It is no disparagement to the claims of others to say that Gen. Wofford is the choice of the people of the 7th Congressional District, for the position indicated. lie is the embodiment of “ wisdom, justice, and moderation.” He is the beacon light to which the people can always look, without the least fear of finding him where he ought not to be. We do not know whether Gen. Wofford will be a candidate before the District Con vention or not, but let there be no difficulties about a candidate, and in order to satisfy all, and in order to put forward the strongest man in North Georgia, in order to add two thousand votes to Seymour and Blair, in the 7th District, which he would not otherwise get; let the convention, when it assem bles, pass a resolution unanimously nominating Gen. Wofford, the people’s! choice. We have no more doubt of! his election, whether he runs as the convention’s nominee, or independent of the action of the convention, than wc have of the rising and setting of the sun. Gen. Wofford has ably and hon estly served the people in all the posi tions to which they have called him. and not only in position, but in private life; his life has been spent in their I service. They know it, and intend to reward him with a seat in the Congress of the United States. He richly merits tiie place, and we hope and believe he will get it. D. Mr. Editor: Please allow me, incog nito, to suggest a word to the Demo crats of Bartow County, through vour most worthy columns. I think that there ought to he a Democratic Club in each of the several Militia Districts of our county, Seymour and Blair Clubs, with perfect organization. We are ; satisfied with these fine, patriotic, able, ■ cultivated Christian Statesmen. Why : should we not answer the shrill blast that summons the patriots of the land to rally ? The Constitution, the Union, the rights of the Stales, the liberties of the people, and the principles of free government are in danger. Let us or ganize, and pledge our fidelity to Sey mour and Blair, the standard-bearers of constitutional liberty. Let us win back all good men that have been se duced into the ranks of the RaJical party : show the poor black man in our midst that we are not his enemy, by inviting hint to attend our meetings. There is work for us Democrats. On ly meet and organize, and your com mittees will make proper arrangments. Bartow gave an overwhelming majority for Gordon. She ought to be proud of that record of glory. Let her strike in time in the present campaign, and that record will be made more radiant in glory, by swelling that majority.— Will not the present Democratic club of the county renew its organization', and be a vigorous, active, living party ? Will not its President cell a meeting at no distant day ? Let us awake, Democrats, and our duty do. Democrat. The Radical majority in Wisconsin has gone down in this wise : In 1863 it was 25,000; in 1864, 17,000; in 1865 10,000; in 1867, 4,000. Gover nor Seymour is immensely popular in Wisconsin, where he has considerable property and is personally well known. The State is regarded safe. Mr« Sarah Brown, who it seems was traveling from Florida to Alabama in a wagon with her little son, arrived on the South-east commons, Columbus, Ga., a few days ago. Being much fa tigued from the ride andjin feeble health, she got out of the wagon and expired almost immediately. Two kind ladies, Mrs. Woodruff and Mrs. Davis, hear ing of the sad circumstance, took her remains and dressed them. The Rev. Mr. Evans was sent for, and she re ceived a Christian burial. OBITUARY. HUGH B. ERWIN, eldest son of our brother and esteemed fellow citizen J. A. Er win, was born in (Jassville, Nov. 28, 1852, and died in Cartersville, Sunday morning, Aug. 23, 1868, in the 16th year of his age. This afflicting bereavement his fallen most unexpectedly upon this community ; for no one appeared to enjoy greater promise of long and useful life than our young friend and brother. On Thursday, he was among his friends in apparently perfect health, but on the following Sabbath morning, the Sun arose upon his corpse. We have laid his dust in the cemetery near-by, to await the glad awak ening of the resurrection morn, and betake ourselves to the comforts of “ a good hope through grace,” that his redeemed spirit is with the Saviour, whom he loved. Hugh professed achange of heart, and joined the Methodist Church, at Cartersville, in Aug. 1866, when not yet fourteen years of age ; and since then, has lived true to his Christian prin ciples. The regularity of his at tendance upon public worship, his attachment to the Sabbath School, and general discharge of Christian duty, grew out of his love for the religion which he professed. In due time he would have made a most efficient laborer in the Lord’s vineyard, but He who does all things wisely, benevolently, and well has exempted him from “ the heat and burden of the day,” and called him in the freshness of hia morning work up to the great reward. The last work of his young life was to point a friend to “ the most excellent way,” and now he enjoys the inconceivable excellencies to which the ever brightening path of the just leads. Death is the crown of life ! It wounds to cure : we fall! tee rise ! see reign t C. A. E. Departed this life April 26, 1868, in Pickens County, Ga., Mr. CALEB GRIFFITH, Sr. He was born in Habersham County, Ga., Nov. VO, 1806, and subsequently removed to Pickens County, where he has lived for many years, highly respected and beloved, as the embodiment of all that is truly good and noble in man. We cannot hope to add anything to the excellency of his character, by this feeble attempt to portray his many virtues, but as a bright example of what a man may be, we would direct the attention of the living to those most prominent characteristics which he possessed in no small degree. It may be truly said, he was an honest man, “the noblest work of God.” Just and upright in all his ways, he was truly a peace-maker in the community where he resided. His doors were ever open to the needy, and his table was spread alike for all. He was a special friend to the widow and the orphan. Indeed, kindness seemed to flow from his heart as naturally as a stream of pure water from its fountain-head. Even tempered, and affable, with a vein of humor enlivening his ideas, he was a general favorite in society. Hospitality, generosity, and be nevolence were his proverbial characteristics. His moral rectitude, sound judgment, and goodness of heart, eminently qualified him for amicably adjusting all matters of contention between opposing parties. Though our broth er is dead, he yet lives in the hearts of those who knew him. His loss is deeply felt by his Iriends and the community ; and if so deeply felt by them, how infinitely greater must that loss be to the bereaved family in the home circle, where love beamed forth in every look and action, word and deed. His death has occasioned a void that earth can never fill. To his family we would tender our-warmest sympathy, believing that their irreparable loss is his eternal gain. Though not a professing Christian, shall not a tree be known by its fruits J and hath it not been said “by their works ye shall know them I” In the 15th Psalm, Dlvid aptly por trays the character of our Brother, in describ ing a citizen of Zion. Have we not cause, therefore, to hope, that when he bade adieu to earth, he passed to a higher state of existence in the upper and better Kingdom, where he will ever enjoy a blissful immortality, singing the praises of his Great Redeemer, and await ing a happy reunion with those loved ones whom he has left lichind.
