PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION.
The object of every true friend of
the country, and therefore of every
democrat is to deliver the people of
the United States, and especially the
downtrodden South from the present
party of misrule; not only l>eeauseof
the principles which it avows, but
for the unconstitutional and oppres
sive enactments of which it has been
guilty, and for which it will soon
stand arraigned at the bar of public
opinion. The Democratic party to a
man have hut one voice on this ques
tion, and that is “guilty,” and long
i before this would judgment have been
pronounced, and execution promptly
followed, had she only have had the
• power in her hands. Relying upon
the integrity of her position, and un
awed by the tremendous odds with
I which she has had to contend, she has
“ possessed her soul in patience,”
hoping and waiting for thecoming of
the day of deliverance, when all her
wrongs might lie adjusted, and the
people relegated to their rights. Os
herself she was powerless, and by her
self she will remain so until the end
of the chapter. So monstrous how
ever has been the oppressive charac
ter of the Government, so glaring its
assumptions of unauthorized power,
and so alarmingly centralizing the
whole drift of the administration, that
within the bosom of the Radical par
ty itself, discontent has arisen culmi
nating in the nomination of the Cin
cinnati ticket, and offering as we be
lieve and insist almost a sure and cer
tain prospect of success, and the insti
tution of anew organization of things.
With the aid of the Democratic par
ty the result may even now be pro
nounced a victory, without it, it falls
to the ground, a miserable dead fail
ure. Shall the Democratic party come
to the rescue and decide the battle for
the Liberals? It is said by able jour
nalists and long-time politicians, pro
fessing to have knowledge of the po
litical statistics, that the Democrats in
a fair contest can win the fight against
all comers, because, they say, she is
numerically the strongest. If this be
so, all we have to say, is, that she has
had a strange way of showing her
strength, for whenever she has tried
the fight, she has come off most wo
fully defeated. As we have said before
again and again, this is not so, and
cannot he true, and we predict that if
W'e are to be led into the present con
test cheered forward by this illusive
idea, we shall have defeat for our
pains.
If however we shall be admonished
by the past, and realizing our weak
ness and the necessity for political
aid, the question then results shall we
nominate a candidate at Baltimore,
or looking the difficulties of the hour
squarely in the face, preserving our or
ganization and our principles, throw
our united and deciding strength in
favor of the only chance that has ever
yet been offered us of beating the Rad
icals and reforming the Government.
It is pretty generally admitted, by
those who oppose this policy, that had
J udge I)avis been nominated we could
and would have gone in mass for the
ticket, while others as strongly avow
that Adams would have met with
like Democratic favor had he been
placed before the people by the liber
als. The Savannah Republican even
now, repudiating theaceeptanceof Mr
Greeley, strongly advises the Balti
more Convention to bridge the diffi
culties of the hour by the nomination
of Judge Davis and Gen. Hancock.
Mr. Stephens too it has been believed
was also in favor of Judge Davis.
Now liow is this? The objection ap
pears to us to be wholly personal.
The point of objection just here is not
against the policy of combining our
strength with the Liberals, but a
strong and insuperable hostility to
G reeley. Are they not all of the Rad
ical party ? If Greeley was the organ
of the party in the columns of the
Tribune, and if you will its master
spirit, was he not simply and truly
their mouth piece? When lie pro
posed did they object, and pray tell us
wherein it is that they or any of them
have any more claims to our favorable
regard ? And is it not true that upon
many points lie is far less exceptiona
ble than any of them. But here is
the difficulty, the Liberal Republicans
whether pleasing to us or not, have al
ready taken their position, and pre
sented Greeley and Brown for our ac
ceptance. Will we accept? If so,
they fight with us and we with them,
and the conflict cannot be doubtful.
If not they go by the board, and we
too, disdaining their proffered aid will
drive them from the support of their
own ticket, incurred by our refusal
back to the support of Grant and his
party. Failure for the Liberals, fail
ure for the Democrats, success and a
long lease of power to Morton, Forney
and the rabid bloody mouthed fanat
ical Radicals of the North. If we will
not accept their ticket, is it to be sup
posed that they will throw it over
board and come to us? With what
consistency can we say that we will
take Davis, but reject Greeley, that
Mr. Adams would do, but that Gree
ley will not? We can’t see it, we do
not quite understand the motions of
Vorhees, nor can we appreciate the
policy of the suggestions of the Re
publican, or of any others who while
they would spurn Greeley, would with
open arms rush into the political em
brace of some other Radical as deeply
dyed in the wool as he. No, they are
all “ fish out of the same kettle,” and
it would seem that one as well as
another would be equally agreeable to
Democratic digestion. Whoever
shall be nominated at Baltimore, if
any one at all, will receive our sup
port, but our opinion as to our policy,
is only the more and more strength
ened by the current history of the day,
and we now expect that the Demo
cratic party when it comes to take its
action in General Council, will advise
the support of the Liberal Republi
can nomination, unless prevented by
the stringent operation of the odious
two-third rule, which in our opinion
ought to be abrogated.
Specific Tax on Liquors Repealld.
Atlanta, May 17, 1872.
Editors Constitution: I will thank
you for space to say to those interest
ed that the Legislature in January
last repealed the specific tax of 20c,
per gallon on liquors, and now the
article is taxable only as other person
al property at its fair market value,
and it must be so returned to the
Tax Receiver, who in receiving the
returns will enter it on the Tax Digest
under the head of “all other proper
ty.” The tax to be paid in the fall
to the Collector, when collecting the
regular State tax.
Respectfully,
Madison Bell,
Comptroller General.
Everybody must go to the Railroad
Meeting today, (Thursday.)
The Hon. Ltther J. Glenn, in
a very eloquent address before the
Odd Fellows at Atlanta, strongly ad
vocates the education of the orphans
of the State by the State, and insists
that she see to it that provision in the |
future be made for them. “ If,” says
he “ she will not erect an institution
I of her own, she can, at least, gather
up these children from the highways
and byways; and w r ith a liberal ap
propriation in one hand, with the
other present them to the “ Orphans’
Homes” of the religious denomina
tions of the State, saying to them, in
the language of the Roman matron*
4 these are my jewels,’ receive them,
feed, clothe, educate them; make of
them good work, true work, square
work —work fit to be placed in the
temple of human society, and finally
in the Spiritual Building beyond the
skies.” The idea here presented by
Col. Glenn is to our mind the true
one. We have long been satisfied
that very great danger of entire fail
ure attends all the Orphans’ Home in
stitutions, no matter how strongly
they appeal to our reason and sympa
thy, u nless some public and decided
ly strong moneyed power shall come
to their support.
There are we think but three ways
in which these homes can be sustain
ed :
Ist. They must be self-sustaining;
Or, 2dly. They must be kept up by
voluntary contributions.
Or, 3dly. They must be endowed.
The proposition that a company of
orphan children, from 3 years up to
13, by their own labor, can support
themselves and annually pay the ex
penses of the establishment, no mat
ter how r w r ell prepared with an outfit,
is an idea so utterly untenable, that
its bare statement is its own refuta
tion. The greater the number of
children, the more helpless will it
be.
To rely upon voluntary annual con
tributions by the people, and the ex
ertions of benevolent societies, we be
lieve to be equally fatal to their life.
Contributions will always be scant,
never equalling the necessity of the
inmates, and the annual appeal to the
charities of the people will soon fail
to raise the needful supplies of mon
ey, clothing, &c. They will always
under such an attempted role present
but a beggarly appearance and life,
and indeed must die out sooner or la
ter. We would much prefer to farm
the children out, putting them, under
proper conditions, in the hands of
good men to be raised and educated.
This might be done.
If they are to be maintained, and
worthily answer the holy end for
which they are designed, they must be
endowed, and they ought to be. A
mere contribution answering present
wants will not do, but such an en
dowment must be bestowed upon
them as will enable them beyond all
peradventure to fulfill their noble
destiny. Our people are too poor to
expect them now to do much in this
direction, and if therefore it is to be
done at all, the State and the State
only has the power to accomplish the
work—a work which all w ould com
mend. The “ Homes ” are now poor,
and daily crying out to the commu
nities for instant help, any thing that
will help the little ones to live. If
the State should operate through
them instead of erecting its own in
stitutions for the purpose, let it come
up to their support with no stinted
aid, but with a large heart and a libe
ral hand. Let them be endowed.
Adairsvilde, May 20th, 1872.
Messrs. Editors: —Saturday last was
a day of unalloyed happiness to the
good people of our village and vicini
ty.
The Philo Udor Lodge I. O. G. T.
gave a picnic for the advancement of
the Temperance Cause.
According to programme the Lodge
of which 1 have the honor of being a
member formed in procession at the
Hotel, and marched through Main
street presenting a tine appearance.
We then marched to the appointed
place, known as Louis’ Springs, just
on the outskirts of the village. It’s
a beautiful place, covered with a
green coat of natural grass, right on
the bank of old Oothcaloga creek.
We got on the ground about 11 o’clock
a. m. Mr. P. Kinman was then in
troduced as the first speaker of the
day, after prayer by Prof. Milburn.
Being a widower of about thirty
summers, and rather fast, he of course
said something to please the fair sex.
His speech was short but very appro
priate.
Next came your humble corre
spondent, of whom I have nothing to
say, only that he received three or
four powerful 44 sweet-smellin’ bo
quets,” at the conclusion, from fair
hands.
Next came Mr. Engrain, of the
Calhoun Lodge, who made a splendid
effort.
Last but not poorest came Prof.
Milburn, of the High School, who
held the audience for about an hour.
The speaking over, we repaired to
the table, which was groaning under
its heavy load of ham, pies, cake and
“chicken fixins.”
Every body ate with an appetite
sharpened by the lateness of the hour,
the ladies “going for” the pickles
and cake, and the boys for the “ sub
stautials.” Now don’t make this read
as if the ladies “ went for” the boys,
for they did not—much.
After dinner the audience again
seated themselves, and listened to
very interesting extemporaneous
speeches from Col. W. R. Rankin, of
the Calhoun Times, Rev. Mr. More
land, Mr. Frank Gray, and Rev. Mr.
Milner.
Rev. Mr. Gwaltney, of Rome, was
with us, and made a short speech in
his usual happy manner.
The Calhoun Lodge joined us about
noon.
Being warned by rising clouds of
an approaching storm, we repaired
to the Hotel to “ trip the light fantas
tic.”
The ball, as well as the picnic, was
a grand success. Every body enjoy
ed it amazingly. The visiting friends
from Calhoun formed the greater
part of dancing crowd. Miss Mary
.— “ carried off” your correspond
ent in a dream of moonlight. Miss
Nannie , in her “ Dolly Var
den ” outfit, attracted many admirers
by her lovely smiles and pleasant
manners. In a word, all the Calhoun
folks seemed to take our little village
by storm. The sound of an approach
ing train, at 11, P. M, told us that our
neighbors must leave. With heavy
hearts we bade them adieu, promis
ing to repay their visit at an early
day.
Every thing passed off well without
any thing to mar the occasion. We
are confident it will result in good to
the community at large. More anon.
Respectfully,
Medicus.

Roms, Ua., January 11, 1871.
Dr. W. B. Tutt:
Dear Sir—Having used your Liver Pills and
finding none that have done my wife or myself
as much good, I would like to know if they
would do as well North as here. 1 intend going
North in March, and if they will have the same
effect as in this climate, I want to take them on
with me. Hoping to hear from you soon,
I remain, your obed’t serv’t,

Dr. Tutt’r Hair Dye does not Stain the Linen.
Bobkooersville, May 18, 1872.
Messers Editors: For the i«t~t six
months our hearts have been filled
with sympathy for the people of
South Carolina. Countv after coun
ty has been put under martial law,
and the civil law superceded by the
bayonet.
Every respectable man knew he
was at the mercy of any vagabond
who had a personal grudge against
him; and a reign of terror was in
augurated. The great majority could
not leave, and their sufferings have
been great. Thousands abondoned
their homes and sought residence in
other States, where it was no crime
to be respectable and honest.
We have seen some of these refu
gees as they passed through our
country, and heard their tales of woe.
Just to think of it, the war pro
tracted for seven years in a conquered
I State, just to enable a ring, composed
iof the most corrupt men upon the
j face of the earth, to grow rich upon
the earnings of honest toil. And all
this done at the behest of Ulysses
Grant, who said he only wanted to
be President to give peace to the
people.
I spent the month of March in Car
olina, and I never before lived among
a more quiet and subdued pe* pie.
They were helpless and hopeless.
In the section of the State where I
spent most of my time, there was not
a single Ku-Klux organization, or
j had been since the war. It is true
| that about two years ago, the negro
militia, with government arms in
their hands, provoked a riot in Lau
rens. It occurred in the open day, at
an election. The negroes came pre
pared for a fuss, and they got more
than they came for, viz: a good
drubbing. The excitement soon
passed away. The negroes finding
that the bad white men, who had
urged them on, were the first to run
away, and that the old adage was
true.
“That it is dangerous for fools,
To play with edged tools,’ ’
soon returned to their several avoca
tions.
Two years of peace and quiet en
sued, when early on Easter Sunday
the inhabitants of Laurens, found that
their town was environed with yan
kee soldiers, every avenue guarded,
and a company of cavalry dashing
about the streets, pouncing upon every
one they met and hurrying them to
jail.
Holy writ teaches us that on the
outskirts of Jerusalem, a strange
scene was once enacted. Jesus, the
God man, after being crucified by his
enemies, was buried, and on the
third day, before it was yet light,
arose from the dead, and with the
print of the cruel nails in his hands
and the gash of the Roman spear in
his side, he forgave his enemies, and
proclaimed peace on earth and good
will to men. After commissioning
his disciples to carry the glad tidings
to all the inhabitants of the world he
returned to Heaven.
For nearly nineteen hundred years
the ministers of the blessed Jesus
have proclaimed this glorious
gospel in all lands; and,
yet, Ulysses Grant, President of
the “ greatest and best government
upon earth,” through his myrmidons,
chose the anniversary of that sacred
day, to invade a peaceful town, in
time of profound peace, and by their
acts of outrage and high-handed tyr
rany, filled the hearts of men with
rage, women with anguish, and chil
dren with terror. Could the heathen
Emperor of Rome do any worse in
time of peace ?
Rome cut off the heads of the lead
ers of a rebellion, and restored the
rest to the rights of citizens. The
United States, with a refinement of
cruelty, spares their lives in order to
degrade and insult them.
My brother, J. A. Leland, lives in
Laurens. He is nearly sixty years of
age. Since manhood, he has been en
gaged In the teaching. He has been
professor in several colleges, and
since the war has occupied the re
sponsible position of President of the
Laurens Female College. An elder
in the Presbyterian Church, he is
looked up to by all who know him as
a live, active, Christian. As he nev
er goes to circuses, he has never even
seen a Ku-Klpx.
On Easter Sunday, just as the
young ladies of the college had come
down to morning prayers, a band of
yankee cavalry dashed into the
campus, surrounded the college buil
dings, and several armed with revol
vers, rushed into the house, and ar
rested him. He wanted to know
upon what charge. They did not
know or care. He must come with
them to jail. The young ladies were
terror stricken, the wife pleaded in
vain ; a daughter, who had long been
in delicate health, and as dear to him
as his heart’s blood, yielded to the
excitement, and had a hemorrhage
from her lungs.
As he was dragged forth by the
brutes, his last glance rested upon his
despairing family, surrounding the
prostrate form of his idolized daugh
ter, the life blood welling from her
lips. He was thrust into the lower
rooms of the jail, where he
found scores of others, equally inno
cent and outraged as he was.
He was not allowed to return, even
under guard, to his family, but forced
to go to Union, a distance of thirty
miles. A jail received him there.
From thence he was carried to Co
lumbia. This city was the home of
the family. In it his father had
preached the gospel for nearly forty
years. A jail received him there.
The company of way-worn, wet
and hungry prisoners had often been
to Columbia before. Their industry
had helped, to build up the city. Now
they were treated to the hospitalities
of a dungeon, amid the jeers and in
sults of a crowd of idlers, who are
eating up the land like the locusts of
Egypt.
Some noble women, bless their
gentle souls, not waiting for the time
to come when they could be admit
ted, fed and gave drink to the prison
ers through the bars of the jail. This
act will be a crown of glory to them,
in Jhat day when all me gifts that
Grant has received, and all the riches
his friends have stolen, will not suf
fice to purchase one drop of water to
cool their parched tongues.
For weeks this company of mar
tyrs were kept in jail. They were
occasionally taken out and marched
through the streets, to furnish amuse
ment for the negroes. But finally
even the little negroes got tired of the
spectacle, and when the show ceased
to draw, the Court of Enquiry deter
mined to send them to Charleston.
These helpless men were handcuff
ed in pairs, taken down to the depot
locked up in a box car, like cattle’
but unlike cattle they c£d not have
free use of their limbs. They were
sent by the night train so as to have,
a whole day to display their victims.
The time of their arrival had been
telegraphed, and a crowd was at the
depot awaiting them. These man
acled victims of Radical hate were
marched in couples from the depot to
the prison, a distance of a mile and a
half. The sidewalks for the whole
distance were lined with a surging
crowd of black and white negroes.
Oh! it was a gala day for scalawags.
Hats were waved, handkerchiefs
flirted, and in the exuberance of the
occasion, kisses were thrown from
black, lubberly, lecherous lips, to
their nightly sweethearts, the “ boys
in blue.”
The U. S. Grand Jury met, and
soon returned a verdict of murder.
Os course not one of the jury had the
remotest idea that any of the prison
ers had ever even thought of murder
ing any body, yet, as it was a part of
the programme, they had it to do.
What is perjury to men whose whole
lives is an acted lie!
And now the strangest thing oc
curs that has ever been heard of,
either in civil or military law.
After all this display of force, the
refusal of bail, the free use of bars,
bolts, and manacles, to prevent the
escape of prisoners deemed so terri
ble, and after the Grand Jury had
brought in a verdict of guilty of
murder, these terrible fellows were
discharged from jail, upon their own
recognisance , and allowed to go home!
Cincinnati had spoken, and Grant
did not appear in the eyes of the
motley crew near so omnipotent as
he had a few weeks ago.
To show that all this was done to
gratify private revenge, extract
money, and please the mongrel vot
ing population of the State, I will
only cite two instances from the
many that occur to me:
Dr. Wm. Anderson, who formerly
practiced medicine in Cartersville,
was living in. Laurens at the time of
the raid and occupying the slendid
house of the late John D. Williams,
was mistaken for a rich man. Old
and infirm as he was, he was dragged
off with the rest and subjected to the
| vilest kind of treatment. There is a
; low-down woman, (Mrs. Dial,) liv
ing in Columbia who stood high with
the Radical .rascals, who had once
been the recipient of Dr. Anderson’s
professional skill and kindness. She
at once interferred for her doctor, and
the next day Dr. Anderson had the
Privilege of paying his way back
ome.
When the yankees came to Lau
rens, they had on their list, to be ar
rested, the name of John Kyle, a for
mer old and rich citizen of the coun
j ty. They searched his house and the
: neighborhood for him, and would
j not be satisfied until someone turned
informer, and showed them where
the old man was lying quietly in his
grave. He had been long dead. He
had died before the commission of the
crime for which he teas to hare been
arrested. Instead of in the crimiual
reeord, they had found his name
among the tax returns at Columbia,
and the hungry thieves wanted to
squeeze a few thousand out of him.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
THE MOUNDS IN COL. TIMLIN’S
FIELD, ON THE ETOWAH RIVER.—
WHO BUILT THEM?—WHEN WERE
THEY BUILT?—-WHAT WERE THEY
| BUILT FOR?
Messrs. Editors: —And so you ram
bled over Col. Tumlin’s ‘wide-extend
| ed fields;’ and you came to the Mounds
on the Etowah, and you sat down
upon them, all three; and did
i straightway give yourself up to reflec
! tion. Nor let any one vainly imag
■ ine that this reflection was without
I form and void, or that he could have
reflected better than you did. We
have it on the best authority that
these reflections did then and there
take unto themselves forms, which
forms, bating the fact that they also
took unto themselves wings and flew
away, without in anywise being an
swered, were as good as might be;
the chief of t hem being of the follow
ing import, to-wit: W hen were these
Mounds built? Who built them?
What on earth did they build them
for? Now, though you did not an
swer these questions, or any part of
them, there seems to be no doubt that
you did sit down upon these three
Mounds, and reflect, and ask ques
tions. And herein, reader, rightly
considered, I reckon to be the great
est wonder of all; not in Col. Tum
lin’s “ wide-extended fields,” nor in
the three Mounds, nor even in the
questions that the editor asked, but
in the editor himself sitting upon the
three Mounds and reflecting and ask
ing questions.
If the reader desires to get a true
picture of the editor in this extraordi
nary attitude, he is directed, first, by
way of preparation, to reflect a little
upon some familiar subject, thunder
and lightning for instance; then think
of three mounds in the midst of a
“ wide-extended field,” on the bank
of a river, one of the mounds being
seventy feet high, each of the others
thirty feet high and distant fifty
yards from the first; now, catch hold
of the arms of your chair, think of
the Editor, shut yours eyes, and look
steadily in a south-easterly direction;
and if you don’t see the whole thing
—why, just remain in that position
till it thunders. Let no one think
of comparing Jovo, sitting upon
Mount Olympus, to the editor in Col.
Tumlin’s “ wide-extended fields,”
sitting upon three mounds, reflecting
and asking questions. Moreover,
Jove only sat upon one Olympus;
the Editor sat upon three; therefore,
Jove’s affair was only one third as
sublime as the editor’s. What if
Jove did hold a thunderbolt in his
hand, didn’t the editor hold a pen in
his? and in the name of common
sense, sir, do you propose to make an
ass of yourself by denying that this
same pen was greater than a whole
baggage wagon full of thunderbolts ?
Asking pardon for this slight di
gression from the Mounds in Col.
Tumlin’s “wide-extended fields,”
with the editor sitting upon them,
reflecting and asking questions, to
Mount Olympus with Jove sitting up
on it, I now proceed to answer the
aforesaid questions.
These Mounds were built by the
Toltecs. The history of these Toltecs
is, briefly, as follows: It is necessary
to make an apology for not being
able to give the early history of these
people; I will state frankly, however,
that their early history is involved in
so much doubt and mystery, that I
have not been able to see my way
clearly into their history more than
twenty-five millions of years before
the Christian Era. About this time,
it was before the submergence of the
land which connected Asia and
America, two rather strange, awk
ward looking individuals might have
been seen trudging along from Asia
to America. They were hairy indi
viduals, with long tails and pointed
ears. They subsisted upon hickory
nuts, grasshoppers, lizzards, &c.
They slept in hollow trees, and
dreamed of the old country, and liv
ed under a republican form of gov
ernment. They settled upon the
Ohio river, and the country south of
it.
Here, after various evolutions, de
velopments, and struggles for exist
ence, they finally went to sleep one
night, these hairy creatures with long
tails and pointed ears, and woke up
next morning Toltecs! So here they
lived and moved and had their trials
and troubles and war dances; but
withal they multiplied and waxed
strong, and built the Mounds in Coi.
Tumlin’s “ wide-extended field,”
and passed over the Rio Grande, and
settled in the valley of Arahuac,
which is Mexico. This happened in
the eighth cevtury. Here the Toltecs
cultivated the arts of civilization, and,
besides many others, bu ; lt the cele
brated Temple, or Teocali, of Cholula.
The Toltecs we driven out of Mexi
co in the eleventh century by the Az
tecs ; but even when Cortez went over
there, in 1520, Cholula, because of its
magnificent Temple, was still the
Holy City of Arahuac. The Teocalis
in Mexico were used for sacrificial
purposes; so were those in Col. Tum
lin’s “ wide-extended fields.”
When the Toltecs were driven out
of Mexico by the Aztecs in the elev
enth century, they went into Central
and South America, where they built
many temples still more magnificent
than those in Mexico. The curious
traveler may even now see their won
derful ruins at Palanque and else
where. Where the Toltecs now are
the Lord only knows; but for what
they did I wish them much joy.
Peace be with the Toltecs.
