Editors Standard & Express : —Very many citizens of Cobb county are desirous of taking such departure as will enable them to swing loose long and artfully deprived the hon est Electors of their choice of public servants. We therefore, citizens,tax payers and voters deeply feeling the humiliation and disgrace which lon ger submission must entail upon us, and upon those who are to come after us, feel constrained to send up our greetings to all the voters of this Con gressional District who desire to as sert their manhood and their inde pendence of the trickster and the demagogue, and unite in selecting from our ablest and best men, one to represent us in the Congress of the United (States, who may lie admired f »r his commanding talents, respected for his virtues, and in all emergences, and in every crisis worthy to be reli ed on for his wisdom and for un swerving integrity. In casting over the District we recognize several dis tinguished citizens, either of whom would give dignity to our 7th Dis trict while commanding considera tion in the counsels of the nation, for instance: Hon. J. W. 11. Under wood and Hon. A. R. Wright, of Floyd. J. Watt Harris, Gen’l W. T. Wofford and Hon. Warren Akin, of Bartow. Hon. David Irwin and Col onel George N. Lester of Cobb. These are men conspicuous for intelli gence and virtue. Noble leaders in the higher walks of humanitarian progress and Christian civilization. Respectfully. Many Citizens of Cobb County. Let us from all parts of this Con gressional District make, for once , orte united and grand rally of the whole District at a central point, say in Cartersville. There assembled in mass meeting (at an early day to be made known throughout the District) inviting all the gentlemen named to be present and witness an expression of sovereign will in the selection of a Representative Man to the 43d Con gress of the United States. “C.” Tho following is the Executive Committee and Board of Directors of the Central Cherokee Georgia Agri cultural Association for 1872 : Officers : President. —Abda Johnson.

Judging from the numbers which have reached this office, we think it tile liveliest, raciest, most versatile, and withal, most interesting daily in Georgia. The Herald claims to be “ independent in all things, and neu tral in nothing.” This is the true doctrine. Continue to prove your faith by your works, gentlemen, and you have risen to the truest and htjfhest dignity of journalism. The only consistency worth a fig is the consistency of * • noXaciionists and feRAIGHT OUm A portion Os the Democratic party iu lfee|fgia bftterly ippoeed to Radi cal ismin allTOphaSes, as Well as to' the prominent members of that party, utterly refuse to take ground in the present contest for or against Greeley or Grant, and at the same time as pos itively decline any connection with the “ Straight outs,” calling them selves non actionists, and declare their intention, simply, of taking no part in the present contest, content to be mere lookers on while the political fight proceeds. Another portion known as the “Straight outs,” equally opposed to Grant and Greeley, and to radical rule, and equally attached to Demo cratic principles; and holding in sa cred reverence her time honored or ganization, meet In primary assem bly, pass resolutions expressive of their faith, and have already appoint ed delegates to a national convention to be held iu the city of Louisville. We liegin to fear the effect which these two factions of the Democratic party may have upon the success of the nominations both for Governor at Atlanta, and for Greeley at Baltimore. Any very decided refusal on the part of as many dissatisfied Democrats as are said to be in Georgia to act in en tire harmony with the party, may not only lose the State to the Democ racy in the Presidential election, but will very seriously endanger our can didate for the Governorship. While North Georgia is Democratic to the core, yet it may not be amiss to say that the Radicals have put in the field the very strongest man in their party, and one personally popular whomev er he'is known throughout the Che rokee region, far more so we dare say than Governor Smith, who by the way so far as the people north of the Chattahoochee are concerned is to all intents anew man, and almost en tirely unknown, only so far as his late occupancy of the Executive chair has brought him to their notice. On the contrary Judge Walker is a resi dent of Dalton, is an able and popu. lar lawyer, and has long wielded a large influence in this section. It will require all our harmony and all our patriotic and party exertions to pre serve our large majority in the State, if indeed we can do so at all, while the fear prevails among many, that serious inroads may be made upon us, greater perhaps than we antici pate. The whole radical party throughout the State, white and black, we confidently affirm will act as a unit, and all that can be done by any and every means to carry the day will be done by them. This then we say is no time for one single Democrat, whatever may be his prejudices, grievances, or antipathies to be neutral or inactive. We are as sured by good authority that at least one of the most astute and calculating of the Radical leaders in Georgia, and one too who is working night and day for his party, is not without strong hopes of carrying the State, notwith standing the boasted confidence of the Democrats. It would be a pretty spot of work indeed if it should turn out at last to be so, and yet what may we not expect if wo “ bite and de vour” each other. For all of those gentlemen of the Democratic party claiming upon prin ciple to be opposed to the Baltimore many of them indeed are warm per sonal friends ; while for all the party principles which they avow, we yield to none of them in the warmest devo tion. Satisfied that the call for a con vention at Louisville as well as a po sition of neutrality can be productive Os no good to them, but may prove of irremediable evil to Democracy and the country at large, and particularly the South, in the inevitable, though it be unintentional aid which they are thus rendering the Republicans, we would ask them, each and all, to pause, before, it may be, they shall unwittingly inflict a blow which may be to them a matter of future but un availing regret. To the neutrals we would put this question: if a radical could control your action would he not first of all advise your outright support of Grant, which of course you would receive with minted scorn and indignant re fusal ; failing in this, would he not, as the next best thing which he could do to advance and support rad ical rule, advise and ask, that you should refuse to support Greeley and Brown, the very thing which you are doing, and thus play into the hands of the very men whose political ene mies you feel you have every just reason to be now and forever. Ear nestly and honestly Democrats you oppose their policy; earnestly and honestly opposed to the radicals you nevertheless aid and comfort them by the course you pursue; and withhold ing your influence and votes from the Democracy, ycu virtually and in re ality cast them both in favor of Grant and Radicalism. Your action might determine the election; say, can you be satisfied with the reflection, that you may have caused the defeat of your friends and the triumph of your and their enemies? The firm of Briant & Brown, in the Dry-Goods and Grocery business has been dissolved by mutual consent, by the withdrawal of Mr. Brown. The stock has been removed to the stand recently vacated by P. Marsh & Cos., on West Maine Street, and the busi ness continued by the Iron Works bey, Geo. J. Briant, who, together with his brother, Rev. E. S. V. Bri ant, will be happy to see all their old friends and customers, and the pub lic at large, in their new quarters, and will pledge themselves to sell goods as cheap as any other house in the city. ___ August 30th., 1872. Messrs. Editors My friends have, without my knowledge or con sent, announced my name as a candi date for Mayor of our young city; but appreciating, as I do, the neces sity of having a man of more experi ence and ability than myself at the head of our City Government at this time, I most respectfully decline the race. With many thanks for this evidence of kindly feeling on the part of “ Many Citizens,” I remain, your obd’t servant. J. G. M. Montgomery. Death of Maj. Brewster.—We regret to announce that Maj. Hugh Brewster, of Newnan, one of the most prominent citizens of that place, died at his residence on the night of the 27th August. We commence the publication of .the list of the heads of Acts passnd by the recent Legislature, which will be concluded in our o&t wfick’a fi&ue. OUR eSiORMOUS TAXES-OUR ENQpiMOUS PQ\ BRTY. As the me approaches for electing those to office who are to Impose tax es upon'the people ft is proper to call the attention of tax payers to the above subject. It is so common for people to complain of heavy taxatioD that but little attention is paid to their complaints; they have come to be re garded rather as a matter of course, than as indicating a great, practical, tangible grievance. We therefore propose to make no vain declamation about the matter, but to invite the reader to consider for a moment the eloquence of figures. In 1860 Georgia was worth, in round numbers, $600,- 000,000. In 1860 Georgia owned 468,000 slaves worth $228,000. This $228,000, and almost as much more from the burning of towns and cities, destruc tion of manufactories, railroads, stock of all kinds, Ac., and general depreci ation of land and. other property, all of this, amounting to at least $400,- 000,000, was totally lost. Georgia to day is worth, in round numbers, §200,000,000, to $600,000,000 in 1860. It is clear, therefore, that, even if our governmental expenses were no more now than before the war, our taxes must be three times as great now as then. But in fact our taxes are much more than three times as great intrinsically, while they are ten thousand times more galling. We have more county and municipal governments, offices have been increased and salaries en larged ; so that it costs more to run the machinery of State and local af fairs than before the war. Again, though we make nearly as much cot ton and wheat as before the war, yet, at least one-fifth of it, over and above their support, goes to our freedmen, who pay absolutely no taxes at all. Again, it is absolutely necessary that we have a systeip of Public Schools, for half-universal suffrage demands, at least, half-universal education ; but it does not demand that our Legisla ture shall spend thousands of dollars of the State’s money, trying to de prive our State University of money which it has received and appropria ted, in good faith and according to law ; and this too for no other appa rent purpose than that new Colleges may be built, new Professorships cre ated, and new salaries paid ! It is unnwessary to speak of our Federal taxation. All the world knows that the government at Wash ington has sought, and still seeks, to grind the very life out of our people. Listen to an intelligent foreigner on this subject, (Mr. Somers, Author of The Southern States since the IVar, and, except M. Lawlor, almost the only foreigner that has spoken the truth of our people.) “ All owners and cul tivators of the soil, all who hope to live by their own fair means and in dustry in these Southern parts, are literally mobbed by Tariff Acts of Congress, knocked down in every purchase they make by Federal “Knuckle-dusters,” fleeced when down of every cent in their pockets, and when sprawling up again are told to “ G’long for rebels, or it will be much worse for them!” ’ Again, speaking of the Tariff, he says: “ There is no interest of any account in the South which enjoys its so-call ed protection, while it robs and maims all interests, giving every Southern man a direct blow in the fi¥ifti n Ji'Vo r )J mer on the whole South, with a cruelty of op pression enough to “ raise the stones to mutiny” among any people less loyally American than the Southern people appear always to have been. The same unjust and one-sided legis lation tried, say on Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, would in twenty r four hours convert these hives of North ern patriots into nests of rebels, ready to break up the Union and the Uni verse rather than submit.” And yet, in spite of these burdens, in spiteofthis“ cruelty of oppression” enough to “ raise the stones to muti ty,” our people havebeenable to live; nay, if we can only keep our State, county and municipal finances aright, we can even defy our oppressor, the Government at Washington. That our people have been able to live at all, will be found, we think, when considered rightly, the greatest miracle of these latter times. No wonder Jefferson Davis could proudly and grandly speak of “ the sublime energy of our people !” T. A SEDUCER SHOT. The Virginia papers bring accounts of a very painful affair which recently occurred in that State. Mr. John F. Clark, of Manassas, lawyer, editor, and son of a preacher, a man of fam ily, having a wife and three children, deserted his family, abducted and married a beautiful and accomplished young lady, Miss Fanny Fewell. Clark was followed up, arrested, and lodged in Brentville jail, and on Sat urday, August 31st, he was shot, through the bars of the jail, and kill ed by the brother of the young lady. Both Clark and the young lady were, as the cant phrase goes, of the “ best society;” which, truly, is by no means of so much interest to us as this other fact: That these people to gether with their several relatives and friends, on both sides, are men and women like ourselves, of flesh and blood, subject to the same laws as we are, governed by like calculations, emotions and passions, and subject to like pains and penalties, headaches and heartaches as ourselves; add to this that the lady is young, beautiful, accomplished, motherless, ruined. On these accounts, O reader, and in no sense because they belonged to the “ bestsociety,” put thy heart in mour ning, if only for a short moment, it may do thee good. As to the moral reflections suggest ed by this case, we have to say : Ist, That in all such cases, the man mud be, to a greater or less extent guilty; in almost all such cases, he is about as guilty as you can imagine. 2d, In such cases, though the woman may not be entirely without guilt, yet in no case is she half so guilty as Society, that great social liar, and mother of this, as well as of many other evils. 3d, As to this particular case—“ He that is without sin among you!” T. O’Conner has written a letter to tho Louisville Straight-out convention, now in session, declining to accept if he should be nominated. The Rads will send over a man from their ranks who will accept a nomination, rather than see the movement fail. The Grantites would be greatly disap pointed should this convention fail to nominate a candidate. They are much more solicitous about it than ninotentha of the Straight-Outs. = Messrs Editors The result of i the long looked for county Conven- j tian, is now known totlie people. The successful candidates are well pleased ami jubilant, those who were defeated, are not quite as much so. Some think it fair, and others think It unfair; but fair or unfair, I know that I am beat, and the reason of it, is, that I did not get votes enough. When I announced myself through the columns of your paper, as a can didate, “ unsolicited by any one in particular,” there was more truth than poetry in it. My friends did not wish me to run for office. They could not spare me from home to go to the Legislature. They prophesied that I would not be appreciated by the wicked. Some said, 1 was too innocent, some, that I was too honest, some, that I was too truthful, some, that I was too candid, some, that I w’as not a good trader, some, that I wore a clean shirt on week days, some, that I did not go around and soft soap the men, flat ter the women, kiss the babies, and mind the calves while the grown daughters were milking. One delegate from the rural Dis tricts told me, he could not vote for me, because I was too high minded. Well friends, you were correct; all these virtues, positive and negative, helped to defeat me, but the trading, and the clean shirt, did the business for me. Before that convention, I was like a lamb in the midst of wolves, and I had the wool pulled over my eyes, to such an extent, that even now', I feel sheepish. I am demoralized, but thankful I’m not scattered. I lost an office, but have not quite lost my self-respect. Whils’t I’m humble, and penitent, let me confess that I’m not as good as I w t rs a month ago. And gentlemen, all of you, who love truth, and sincerity, and dislike tricks, rings and wire working, withhold your opinion of me for a few months, don’t always judge me by the company I have been in, give me time to rally, and I will yet be, as I one was, a decent, honest, working citizen of Bartow’. To the honorable sixteen, who showed their good taste by voting for me, I return my sincere thanks. The blinded, and misled thirty-four, I would pray for, if I thought it W'ould do any good Humbly yours, Nemo. Cartersville, Ga., Aug. 31st, 1872, 11 o’clock A. M. The Democratic Convention for the county of Bartow’ assembled in the Court House this day, agreeable to the call of the Executive Committee. Dr. S. W. Leland, Chairman Exec utive Committee, explained in brief remarks the object of the meeting to be to appoint delegates to the Senato rial Convention, nominate candidates for the Lower House of the General Assembly, and also nominate candi dates for the various county offices, and urged upon the Convention the importance of unity, and harmony in their deliberations and actions.

The committee returned and re ported as follows: “We, the Committee on credentials and for the arrangement of business for permanent organization, beg leave to present the following report: “The authorized delegates are as follows: [Here follows a list of the names of fifty delegates—five from each district]. “ The committee respectfully rec ommend that J.
