J Editors Standard Express:
Will you allow me a word in your
valuable journal? I wish to say
somothing of a Woman’s Mass Meet
ing held in Boston at Tremont Tem
ple on the evening of the 25th inst.
Doubtless you have seen telegrams,
but have received no letter from an
auditor. The Temple is one of the
most spacious halls in the city, and it
was filled—every aisle, niche and
stairway—the majority of the assem
bly being women of course. The
meeting was called by the women of
Massachusetts, for the purpose of in
dorsing the recognition of their rights
contained in the Republican platform
adopted at Worcester and Philadel
phia, and to ratify the nomination of
Grant and Wilson. Mrs. Lucy Stone
called the house to order, and mak
ing a few prefatory remarks, then
nominated Rev. J. F. Clark to act as
Chairman of the Convention. Rev.
M. Manning was requested to pray,
es—and he invoked the Great Ru
er of the Universe to lend His di
vine aid in carrying out this plan of
woman’s suffrage. O Temporal O
Mores ! Mr. Clark gave as the h ighest
reason for the re-election of Gen.
Grant: he can better be trusted with
the administration of affairs than H.
G. Then congratulating the women
on their political progress, he intro
duced Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, who
spoke a few words. Said the Repub
lican party and the other were like a
baby and a doll—the one having a
head of its own, the other having one
fastened on it. Severe criticism
might be passed on the figure , but we
pass it for fear the baby might cry.
Miss Mary Eastwan (woman) then
read, well too, an address to the wo
men of America. The document em
bodied just what you would suppose
from the nature of the meeting—
“ Woman’s Rights.” Next, Mrs.
Mary Livermore took her stand on
the stage. She not only wanted the
sham coalition (so she termed H. G.
A Cos.) defeated, but she wanted them
buried so deep that not one echo of
Gabriel’s trump could ever reach
them! In plainer terms, Messrs. Ed
itors, she wanted us all in hell. She
flatly denies Gen. Grant’s being a
drunkard. Did not have a great
deal to say against Horace G., but
then “ I am not much in love with
him.” Behold! what cloud is that
you see just before you? there has
been a muttering of thunder (strange
phenomenon! no lightning preceding)
—and the colored speakers Frances E.
W. Harper “ has completely
done!” There were two others, Mis
ses Eastman and Margaret Campbell,
who made some remarks. The whole
proceedings amounted to this: “We
want Gen. G. and Wilson elected be
cause—because they will let us vote.”
The meeting was then adjourned by
tinging the doxology.
Messrs. Editors, have you ever at
tended a meeting of this kind ? This
was my first and my last. God save
Georgia and her sister States from
such foul corruption. Pardon this
hurriedly written account.

OCTOBER ELECTIONS.
The grand success of the Democrat
ic party in the late elections in Geor
gia, is not only decisive of the polit
ical rule of the State for the next four
years, insuring a faithful and honest
administration of her affairs, but also
of the fact that the least and last
shadow of a hope for Radical rule is
forever obliterated. Not only does
the election show the settled and de
termined opinions of the white por
tion of our population, but the equal
ly important and gratifying truth
that even among the colored people,
not a single foothold is left upon
which Radicalism can stand.
Wherever the white man came to
the polls, Smith received his vote,
and with him came the faithful and
trusty colored man casting the same
vote, and by the side of his former
master standing up for the peace of
the community and the good order
and prosperity of Georgia. This is
as it ought to be; the interests of the
white man and of the colored man
are the same, whatever injures one
affects the other, and so indissolubly
are their fortunes for good and for
evil united, that in the very nature
of things they must, when left free
to act, adopt the same views and
pursue the same policy. The North,
the bigoted, ignorant North, igno
rant of the South, her feelings, her
nature, and the true character of our
people, may now open her wonder
ing eyes at the scene presented by
the polls of the late Governor’s elec
tion. Throughout all southern and
southwestern Georgia, as also that
portion denominated the “black
belt,” because of the great predomi
nance of the black population, the
election news is of the mast astound
ing character. Here, where the ne
gro is overwhelmingly superior in
population, and where Radicalism
expected to receive its main support,
and upon which it calculated for the
carrying of the State, it has not pos
itively left to it even a corporal’s
guard. In counties all over that
whole region, and all taken together
perhaps the largest portion of the
State, where the black population, as
compared to the white, stood in the
ratio of from three to one, and even
in some counties of seven to one ;
everywhere, we believe, without
scarcely a single exception, except it
may be the county ofGreen, the col
ored people cast their votes with the
whites, and rolled up majorities for
Smith and Democracy to such an
amount as absolutely to crush out
Radicalism, not to say anything
about the defeat of Walker. We
take it that this election is decisive
of the political condition of Georgia,
so far as the colored man is concerned,
for all time to come. No native born
scallawag, alas ! that there should be
such a creature! no imported carpet
bagger, no northern emissary, polit
ical or religious (?) may trouble him
self in the future, for the problem is
worked out and stands demonstrated,
that the black man of the South and
the white man of the South, will, for
the future be as one. We should
like just now to know what the
Georgia Radicals think of things.
Utter amazement seems to have
taken hold of the North at the grand
Georgia success, for, while Ben Hill
was making his gloriously eloquent
speech at the Atlanta meeting the
other night, a telegram was received
by him, while speaking, enquiring
how it happened that Georgia could
give such a majority. Now if such
be the impression there, what must
Walker think, and w hat does Far
row think, and how, pray tell, does
the ex-Attorney General, the inde
fatigable yet unfortunate Akerman
think ? and worst of all how must
they feel! The fact is, the hour for
misrule and thieving and oppression
and grabbing and pilfering the pub
lic funds and general imposition on
the people for the success of a rascal
ly party and irected and managed, not
for the public good, but for the pe
cuniary emolument of a few and
their favorites, has passed, and all
those who have so long preyed upon
the vitals of the State will, for all
time to come find their occupation
gone. Hon est men have the govern
ment and honesty is now the order
of the day. We are more than re
joiced at the result of the election,
not only because it assures the fact
of Democratic ascendency in Geor
gia, not only because it is the death
blow beyond all resurrection of Rad
icalism in the State, not only because
it is strong assurance of Greeley’s
majority in November, but because
of the fact, now ascertained, and we
trust never to be disturbed again,
that no influence from without
without or within can ever separate
the black man from the white in
Georgia.
The majority for Smith is pretty
well ascertained to be about fifty-six
thousand. The moral effect of this
election it is thought will be great,
and the friends of constitutional gov
ernment, will find their hands and
their hearts strengthened by the
triumph of the Georgia Democracy.
We hail it as the harbinger of suc
cess in November, and good to the
country for the next decade.
MR. GREELEY AND AMNESTY.
It is with pleasure that we publish
the following extract from an arti
cle which appeared in the New York
Tribune near a year ago, long before
Mr. Greeley or any one else expected
that he would be the Democratic can
didate for President; and he cannot,
therefore, be charged with publishing
the article with a view of receiving
Southern votes. All who are famil
iar with Mr. Greeley’s style of writ
ing will recognize it as his true senti
ments. It is well known that he has
favored universal amnesty ever
since the close of the war. We see in
this short extract more patriotism
and good sense expressed than we
have seen from any other source; and
how any true Southern patriot can
cast his vote against a man who ut
tered such sensible and patriotic sen
timents, is more than we can com
prehend. Compare this with “Grant’s
Amnesty Record,” and choose ye be
tween them. But to the extract:
“ It may well be considered wheth
er it is not now time that the disabil
ities imposed by the 14th Amend
ment should not be removed. That
amendment does not exclude the bal
lot, and only imposes the disability
to hold office upon certain classes.
When the purity of the ballot is se
cure, majorities are sure to elect offi
cers reflecting the views of the rnajor
itity. We do not see the advantage
or propriety of excluding men from
office merely because they were, be
fore the rebellion, of standing and
character sufficient to be elected to
positions requiring them to take oaths
to support the Constitution, and ad
mitting to eligibility those entertain
ing precisely the same views, but of
less standing in their communities.”

EDITORIAL NOTES.
GOV. BROWN’S LETTER
to Hon John I. Hall, announcing his
determination to support the Liberal-
Democratic ticket, both State and
Federal, and counseling other Liber
al Republicans to do so, is made the
subject of a spiteful paragraph in the
Savannah Morning New*. That pa
per says, in effect, that Gov. Brown’s
presence will do the party harm rath
er than good ; also that his influence
is greatly overestimated; that, in
fact, his influence is very insignifi
cant, ig)t worth considering. The j
Atlanta Herald, “ independent in all
things,” in point of fact, so very inde
pendent as to manufacture camp
meetings, and other articles too tedi
ous to mention, at short notice and in
lots to suit purchasers, knowing that
anything it might say against Gov.
Brown would be of no consequence,
copied said paragraph from the News.
Now the Herald,famous for“jouraal
astic enterprise,” ought to have
known quite as well how to estimate
these spiteful flings of the Morning
News, as they do similar ones from
itself. As for Gov. Brown’s influence
we think we do not overestimate it;
and we say of his letter to Mr. Hall,
as we said in our last issue, “ we think
it calculated to do great good.” And
we say again, that, considering the
action of the State Democratic Con
vention in rejecting the overtures of
the Liberal Republicans, Gov. Brown
has shown a magnanimity in this
matter worthy of our highest respect.
THO3. TUMLIN AND DR. BAKER,
our new members of the Legislature,
we suppose are highly acceptable to
the Democracy of the Banner county;
at any rate, they are to us. Mr.
Tumlin is a gentleman of fine, practi
cal, business capacity ; a man whose
intelligence, honesty, and zeal for the
welfare and prosperity of the people
generally, and Bartow county partic
ularly, eminently fit him to Repre
sent the county in the Legislature.
We desire to say further that the
course he has pursued during this
canvass we think highly commenda
ble ; he seems to have been elected
without any effort whatever on his
part. What has been said of Mr.
Tumlin, as to integrity, capacity and
fidelity to the true interests of the
people, may also be said of Dr. Baker.
Dr. Baker is a young man, and his
election has a significance in this re
gard which we hail with pleasure.
By what we have said in regard to
Mr. Tumlin taking no part in the
canvass, we must not be understood
as disapproving the course of Dr.
Baker; for he, as we understand it,
canvassed the county, not so much
for him self, as against county caucusses
and conventions; and in this connec
tion, also, Dr. Baker’s election seems
to have some significance.
OUR SENATOR, J. W. WOFFORD,
we take to be the coming man”
of Nort h Georgia. He is so well and
widely known that to praise him
would be simply carrying coal to
New Market.
OUR “ STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
AND MECHANIC ARTS,”
we learn, is doing well, having al
ready more than a hundred and
twenty students, with the prospect of
as many more at an early day. This
College is a part of the “State Uni
versity and its students have the
advantages afforded by the Libraries,
Literary Societies, Apparatus, and at
mosphere of the University; and
these advantages, as every alumnus
will testify, make more than half of
the value of University training. The
students of this college receive tui
tion free; moreover, Dr. Lipscomb,
the learned Chancellor of the Univer
sity, and who, be it known, is doing
more for the elevation of labor and
the true greatness of Georgia than any
dozen of our politicians, has succeed
ed in obtaining comfortable board for
the students at the low rate of twelve
dollars per month; Dr. Lipscomb al
so proposes to establish, in connection
with this college, machine shops,
manufactories, and an experimental
farm, so that the student may learn
the practice as well as the theory of
Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts.
By this course the student will not
only learn the practice of his profes
sion, but the products of his skill and
labor will be sold and the proceeds
will pay his board! In a word, Dr.l
Lipscomb intends to make the Uni
versity of Georgia really, truly, prac
tically, a University for all our people ;
he means to arrange this matter so
that the poorest man in Georgia may
receive the benefits of University
training; he means to make the high
est educational advantages which
Georgia affords, like the blessed sun
light, free to every child of the Com
monwealth. If Gov. James M. Smith
shall do nothing else during his offi
cial life worthy of admiration, his ac
tion in disposing of the Land Scrip
alone entitles him to the heart-felt
plaudits, and grateful remembrance
of all our people. We also believe
that Andrew A. Lipscomb has done
more than any man, whatever, not
only for the intellectual growth, but
also for the material prosperity of
Georgia.
To Dr. Lipscomb and the Faculty
of the University, to Gov. Smith and
his advisers, to the Trustees and all
who aided them in this work, we say,
and Georgia says, Well Done!
THE NEW Y-ORK TIMES
came to this office some days ago with
a marked article from one Conant, at
tempting to whitewash Bullock’s
Bond Frauds. Will the editor of the
Times please forward us his reflec
tions upon the great Liberal-Demo
cratic victory in Georgia ?
THE BEAUTIFUL HAT PRESENTED TO
THIS EDITOR BY MILLER GILREATH
may be seen by calling at this office.
Persons crowded out may get a
glimpse at it next Sunday morning
on its way to Sunday school. Said
hat will also be on exhibition at the
State Fair in Atlanta, October 14th.
Our old hat is now for sale, with all
its rights, members and appurtenan
ces, will be sold cheap for cash, edi
tors half price. This is valuable prop
erty ; we know from three years ex
perience. If said hat is not sold with
in ten days we propose to bet it
against a Jews-Harp with the tongue
broke out that Horace Greeley is our
next President.
THE MEMPHIS AVALANCHE
is not making an ass of itself by sup
porting Andy Johnson, as was cur
rently reported some time ago. The
Avalanche is supporting Andy John
son ; but it is not making an ass of
itself s that was done, many years ago,
by circumstances over which the Av
alanche had no control.
THE EXODUS FROM ALSACE AND LOR
RAINE
assumed, during the last days of the
emigration, most extraordinary
magnitude. It will be remembered
tnat the inhabitants of these provin
ces had begun to show such love for
France, or rather such hatred for Ger
many, that Bismarck judged it poli
tic to issue an order, that those of
them who were willing to leave their
homes might do so within a specified
time. Under this order more than
eighty thousand people left their
homes in one day, and crossed over
the border into la Belle France;
eight thousand left the city of Metz
alone, leaving only ten thousand in
habitants. That was a sad time; the
papers all appeared in mourning. So
j far as we know, the world has never
before seen such a spectacle. There
are many things in history calcu
lated to excite our wonder, admira
tion, love; but such calm, yet un
bounded, love for one’s country as
this, we have not seen the like of be
fore. And such a country is not un
worthy of such love; for, verily*
France is the Pantheon of the world ‘
THE TRAVELING AGENT OF THE ATLAN
TA HERALD,
Mr. T. J. Burney, has been with us
during the Fair. We are glad to
learn that Mr. Burney got a good list
of subscribers among us; he is active,
energetic, clever, and, we doubt not, a
very efficient agent; his success,
however, must be due, to some extent,
to the fact, that he represents the liv
est daily in Georgia. While we say
this much, we are very far from agree
ing with the Herald in some impor
tant matters: we regret exceedingly
its war upon the “ Lease.” We also
regret that, while it admits that it'
would be much better to elect Gree
ley than Grant, it is not sufficiently
independent to support Greeley.
GORMAN, OF THE TALBOTTON STAND
ARD,
has just got back from a “ six weeks
tour in Europe.” Gorman says he
“saw as much as any living man
probably ever will see.” But Gor
man is modest. This is not the half
of it; he saw some things that no
man, living or dead, ever did see, or
ever will see, as the following will
show: “We slept at the foot of Mt.
Blanc, and witnessed the sun rise over
its summit, covered with snow!”
Bah! We’ll not believe it; we were
not prepared for such a tale as this;
Gorman ought to have led us up to it
by degrees. For example he ought
to have told us first that he had dis
covered the site of the Garden of
Eden, the source of the Nile, and the
“ Fountain of Youth and Beauty;”
also, that he had found the Ten
Tribes of Israel, and had seen Vesuvi
us spouting forth Polar Bears. Then
we might have believed his tale about
the sun rising covered with snow.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK
TIMES.
My Dear Sir : —We pine for your
soliloquy on the “ elections in Geor
gia.” T.
(COMMUNICATED.)
It was our happy privilege, on Sab
bath last, to listen to a series of ser
mons, morning, evening and night,
from the liev. Mr. Burkehsad, of the
Presbyterian Church.
Physically, well developed, large,
portly, and tine looking, he is natu
rally attractive. Mentally, he is a
remarkable man. Animated with
Holy zeal, he warms with his subject,
and with an earnest love for the
Master and His truth, he speaks ve
hemently and eloquently, showing
great powers of mind and heart.
His theme was the Gospel econo
my in contradistinction from that of
the law. Never have we before heard
anything like it. He took new
grounds ; argued upon an entirely
new line of thought. The mind was
left to say, “it is so that is the
Gospel truth. Iu showing the con
trast between the law and grace—the
old economy and the new—he gave
us the principles and controlling fea
tures of each. While both the old
and new economy were under the
same covenant, yet were they estab
lished by very different promises.
The old dispensation was based upon
the promise of temporal blessings.
Do thi3, and verily thou shalt be fed,
Temporal prosperity was assured to
the obedient. Under the Gospel,
which is the new and living way, the
promises are, “ do this, and ye shall
suffer.” His conclusions were fully
supported by proofs from Scripture,
there being three hundred texts, par
agraphs, and chapters, in the new
testament, directly establishing his
position. He showed conclusively
the law of the Gospel Kingdom to be,
whom the Lord lovetb, he chasten
eth, and scourgeth every one whom
he receivetb. That if we be without
chastisement, whereof all are par
takers, then are we bastards and not
sons. They that will live godly iu
Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution,
and that to suffer with Christ and for
Christ were the terms of discipleship.
In portraying the Christian as a suffer
er he exhibited the grandest view of
ohrißtianitj that mortals can conceive.
The sufferings of Christ, of the apos
tles and martyri were dwelt upon
with telling power, and while the
same intensity of suffering did not
now attend the followers of Christ,
yet were they called to suffer afflic
tions, persecutions and sorrows, and
through much tribulation enter into
the Kingdom. He showed the soil of
adversity to be the good ground where
the graces of the Spirit grow best,
such as humility, meekness, patience,
&c.
He showed that the right does not
always prevail on the earth—and that
a Christian is never persecuted for as
serting a falsehood, but always for
daring to assert the truth. And he
explained why these things were so.
How much distrust and confusion
might we escape if we understood
this matter correctly. How might
we joy in tribulation also if we incor
porated these mines of the Gospel
System into our faith.
We are truly thankful that it has
been our privilege to hear this man of
God preach. Our heart has warmed
towards him as a brother beloved, and
we shall cease not to pray for him,
that through riches of grace he may
loog be spared to the church in labors
abundant, eonfirming the churches,
and strengthening them in their most
holy Kith, and in calling sinners to
repentance. J.
We are glad to learn that the Cass
ville Baptist church, under the pas
toral care of Rev. E. S. V. Briant, is
now enjoying a Revival of considera
ble interest. Up to Tuesday last
three had been added to to the church
by experience and two by letter.
May the good work go on.

Mountains, Georgia, 1
Sept, the 19th, 1872. >
Messrs. Editors Standard <£■ Ex
press .-—As I live a way back in the
mountains, I seldom have anything
strange to communicate to any of
my friends, for that which is new
to me I find is stale evry whare else.
I would write to your paper once
and a while, (as I am takeing it,) but
about the time I get an article read
dy I se some boddy has got a head of
me and done had it published. I
have just retnqjed from a long trip
down the country. I was away be
low Canton, in Cherokee. I tell you
I saw lots of new things, (to me.) I
met up with a lady, and old acquain
tance of mine, who had had her back
broke since I saw her last, (as I
thought,) but when I made enqure
ry of the perticulars and how it was
done, she told me her back was not
broke at all, but that it was a fash
ionable something she wore under
her dressing. She called it a bender,
but it looked more like a braker to
me. Wonderful notions people
have these times, Mr. Local; for if a
woman had ben made in that shape
before them things come in fashion
she would have complained of her
deformaty, and would have ben a
shamed to have gone in company.
There is another thing that is most
wonderful to me, that is, the groath
of the ladies’ hare down thare. The
most of them seem to have from
seventeen to nineteen lbs. of hare
grown out on their heads since I was
down there before. I wonder that
they do not cut some of it off, as it
certainly must be cumbersome.
They say down there that they are
agoing to have good many elections
this fall and winter, and that it is
likely that they will not get enough
men that is willing to sacrifise their
intrest by accepting office. Thare is
four that offers to accept the office of
ordinary of Cherokee, and two of
them are preachers, or else there
would not be that many. Mr. Moss
says that if nothing elce would satis
fy the people, that he would serve as
ordinary for another term. There is
no excitement hear about elections.
Good many Grant men here, but
they are not to blame for that, for a
good many haven’t heard but what
Bullock was Governor yet, and do
ing things well. Pickens.
You can publish this if you chose,
if not, my feelings are not hurt.
__ P.
WHAT WE SAW AT THE FAIR.
We attended the Bartow CouDty
Fair last week, and for the benefit of
those of our readers who were not
present, we proceed to mention some
of the things which we saw on that
interesting occasion. The ladies’ de
partment, we are happy to state, was
a decided success, there being quite a
large and interesting variety of ar
ticles of their manufactory on exhi
bition. We noticed a beautiful as
sortment of quilts, coverlets, counter
panes, blankets, carpeting, etc., in
the dry-goods line, and fruits, vege
tables, jellies, cakes, and wines, in
endless profusion. We did not have
the pleasure of tasting any of those
good things, as it was our misfortune
not to be on the tasting committee;
but if they tasted as well as they look
edthey were well calculated to tempt
an epicure.
Mr. and Mrs. Dilbeck’s trio of ba
bies were exhibited in the Ladies’
Hall on the last day, and attracted a
great deal of attention, especially
among the ladies. Some were filled
with wonder, some with admiration,
and others with envy, we suppose,
on beholding the little innocent trip
lets. They are all girls, are six
months old, and are large, fat and
plump. They are exactly alike, so
much so we think that when they
grow large enough to be spanked,
the wrong one is as apt to be carried
through that interesting exercise as
the right one. They’re the productof
Cherokee county. Cherokee is ahead
yet! Hurrah for Cherokee! There
was something said about offering
premiums for triplets, etc., but Col.
Johnson, the discriminating and
prudent president, for reasons that
are obvious, thought it best not to
do so. The ladies did their part no
bly, (and don’t they always succeed
in whatever they undertake?) In
our numble opinion they are the best
part of creation, ten to one, anyhow,
and if they were all out of the world
it would be a miserable and poor
concern.
We saw a pretty fair display of
mechanical inventions, but it was
nothing like what it might and
ought to have been. Messrs. Gilbert
& Baxter, Pattillo, Baker & Cos., and
Geo. S. Ruble, exhibited some fine
plows, mowers, reapers, etc. The
latter operated a buggy plow, drawn
by four mules. It did remarkably
well, making two large, deep fur
rows at once, and turning the sod
completely under. If we had to run
the plow again, we would want one
of that variety, with a good umbrel
la. The “ Excelsior” plow was
drawn by a pair of oxen and did ex
cellent work. Mr. Reynolds’ thresh
er, we believe, gave entire success;
and the “ Buckeye Mower,” operat
ed on the ground by him, was a per
fect success. It moved like a thing
of life, and shaved the grass as com
pletely as the most skillful barber
can shave the face of a customer.
There is something practical, business
like, and utilitarian, in such exhibi
tions, and they should enter more
largely into the attractive features of
our fairs.
Farmers must take more interest
in such things if they wish the
science of agriculture to be progress
ive and successful. W T e did not no
tice much fine stock on the ground.
A fine Jersey bull, the property of
Capt. T. K. Sproull, of Stilesboro,
was the finest animal of the cow kind
that we saw. He weighs, it is said,
1,300 pounds, and is a noble specimen
of the brute creation. A few fine
colts were brought into the ring.
Among others was that belonging
to our friend, J. C. Maddox, which
we thought was a perfect model of
its kind. We noticed a few buggy
horses and horses for all work which
we think would compare favorably
with any in the State. It is also said
that there were several fast horses on
the track, from time to time, but we
didn’t try any of them. On the last
day of the fair, the “ Etowah Dra
goons,” commanded by Lieut. W.
H. Stiles, were out, and made a fine
display. Upon the whole we were
pretty well pleased, and hope that
ail our people will take an interest in
next year’s exhibition and make it a
complete success. B.
