The decree of a drunken Federal
Judge placed Kellogg in the Guber

taxes of the people of that State trans
ferred from Kellogg’s carpet-bag to
the wallets of Radical Congressmen
prevented McEnery, the lawfully
elected Governor, from obtaining the
office to which he was fairly chosen,
and now the corrupt motive of a
President who desires a third term
sends the troops of the United States
at the expense of the whole people to
Louisiana to renew and perpetuate
the wickedest fraud that ever stained
the annals of Republican govern- j
men!. The rottenness of the Radical j
rule of Louisiana is so rank that it j
smells to Heaven!

Col. L. N. Trammell tho nominee
of the Democratic party for Congress,
having peremptorily withdrawn his
j name from the canvass, and the Ex
| ecutive Committee having issued a
j call to the various counties in the 7th
| District to send up delegates to a eon
i vention to be held at Rome on the
119th inst.,to nominate a candidate for
the people and the party, it is of the
j last importance, that true Democrats
; in the District should promptly ap
pear in their several counties at an
early day,and send up their delegates
in order meet this sudden emergency.
Only a few days intervene before the
meeting of the Convention, and no
time should therefore be lost. We
hope that every Executive Commit
tee will at once give notice in each
county, so that the people may come
out and select their delegates.
We do not hesitate to declare our
unprejudiced opinion as to the man
who should be nominated by the Con
vention. He should be honest, capa
j ble,and what to us is just now a mat
ter of great importance, one who by
I reason of his extensive acquaintance
| and popularity in the District can
i combine the shattered elements of
| the Democratic party, and throw
1 them into one compact invincible
mass upon her enemies, and secure
| victory to our flag. We say in all
| sincerity, that just here we lay down
all personal feelings and prejudices,
and advising every one else to do so,
let us select that man no matter who
he may be, who will best answer this
great end, no matter, in what county
he may reside, nor what may be our
| preferences for someone else. If
; Dabney is the man, or Lester, or
Printup, or Waddell, or Bass, Young
< or any one else, who can best answer
| the behests of the party, then let that
man be the choice of every man in
the party. Let us send up our dele
gates, good and true men, to Rome
uninstructed,and after a full and free
interchange of opinions and informa
tion,let them then and there select the
best man for the situation. In this hour
of the contest we would pass by the
claims of our best friend, or of a
brother, for the good of the party,
and we believe that such is the feel
ing of every sound Democrat in the
; District.
I)r. Felton utterly refuses to go be
] fore the Convention, will have noth
j ing to do with it, and just now,when
he might at once settle Democratic
difficulties and divisions by so doing,
and what is more, if he be as he de
clares himself on the hustings to be,
the candidate of the Democratic
party, he could easily be nominated
j by the Convention, just now be re
| fuses to place his claims before anew
! convention, and declares war against
! the Democratic party to the bitter end.
| Mr. Harbin, of Whitfield, is the can
didate of the Radical party, and is
confident of his election as we learn.
Both t of these men then we have to
fight, and it will require all the pru
dence, energy and decision which we
can summons to gain the victory.
There is but one man in our candid
opinion, who can win this fight; a
man whom the people well know,
and have always delighted to honor,
and that man is Gen. P. M. B. Young.
In Bartow county he is strong, and
strong in Cherokee. We speak of
those two counties,especially,because
here particularly,Felton counts upon
the majorities which are to make
him a Congressman. Young, and
no one else, can carry these two coun
ties, or can so far reduce Felton’s
strength in them that we shall count
upon an easy victory, if he should be
nominated. In such a race, we take
it for granted that the party in all the
other counties would at once go for
the* nominee. This is our opinion,
and of many other gentlemen of the
party. But at once let us select our
delegates, hold our convention, nom
inate our man, throw our flag to tiie
breeze, and with a long pull, a strong
pull and a pull altogether, we shall
maintain successfully the honor of the
party, and with it the best interests
of our distressed, impoverished and
beloved South.
If Young is nominated we shall
feel that ail is well.
Come out Democrats, and send up
your delegates to Rome on the 19th.
A SLANDER NAILED.
Tlio Calumnious Accusation Falsified that
Trammell got $845,000 to Secure the
Passage of the Act Aiding the
Brunswick and Albany
Railroad.
Cartersville, Oct. 1, 1874.
H. I. Kimball, Esq —Dear Sir:—
In this Congressional District, Col.
L. N. Trammell is a candidate for
Congress, and the statement of Mr.
Frost, given under oath, before the
Bond Committee, is being used
against him. Colonel Trammell has
denied being employed or receiving
any money from you in relation to
the matter referred to in the inclosed
copy of the evidence of Mr. Fiost.
As you, Mr. Kimball, can give us
the facts in this matter, we would
respectfully ask, in brief, whether
Colonel Trammell was employed to
aid in the passage of the Bill, ap
proved October 17, 1870, in regard to
the Brunswick and Albany Railroad,
and it" you paid him, and how much;
and if anyone else was authorized to
employ him but yourself; and also,
what part, if any, of the $65,000 in
bonds referred to by Mr. Frost, was
paid to Col. L. N. Trammell.
Your reply will oblige,
Yours, respectfully,
J. W. Wofford,
J. C. Fain,
J. E. Shumate.
COPY OF FROST’T STATEMENT.
“When I was in Georgia making
this exchange, four gentlemen called
at my room, two of whom, I under
stood, were the Mr. Trammells.
They notified me that they had a j
claim on Kimball for 846,756, for ser- j
vices rendered in getting through
the Legislature the. Act, 17th Octo
ber, 1870, and that I should not leave
the State with these gold bonds until
I settled their claim. I replied that !
I had nothing to do with them, nev- j
er having employed them, nor had j
the Company employed them, and I
that I would have nothing to do j
with it. I told them at the time if
they would satisfy me that they had
a claim on the Company for their
services, I would have it settled.
Before 1 left I turned over to H. I. j
Kimball, as one of the contractors, ,
865,000, received on mortgage bonds, ;
Nos. Horn 1001 to 1065 inclusive, :
which he used to py these men, j
either by sale, hypothecation, ex- :
change, or otherwise.”
MR. KIMBALL’S TESTIMONY.
Atlanta, October 2,1874.
Gentlemen Your letter of the
Ist instant, touching the matter of
L. N. Trammell’s employment, and
receiving money, as referred to in
Mr. Frost’s testimony before the
Bond Committee, is at hand.
I am just now preparing to leave
for New York this evening, and re
gret that I have not the time to pro
cure the undeniable proofs (which I j
am positive are still in existence) of
the fact that Col. L. N. Trammell
was not employed by me, nor by
any one for me, directly or indirect
ly," to aid in the passage of the “acl
approved October 17, 1870,” nor did
ho aid or assist in its passage. On
the contrary, when I handed him a
copy of the bill to read, and request
ed his assistance in its passage, he ex
pressed himself in strong terms as
opposed to the bill, refused to accept
a fee, and even threatened to annul
the contracts he bad previously
made, to look after the interests of
the B. &A. Company. He never re
ceived, directly or indirectly, one
dollar in money or bonds, from, or
through me, in the matter. As to
the bonds referred to by Mr. Frost in
his testimony, as having been left by
him with me, I have to say that I
had, as the financial agent of the
B. <Sr A. Company, drawn on her first
President, or Henry Clews & Cos., (I
do not now remember which) ior
large amounts used in the interests
of the Company. Some forty odd
thousand dollars of these drafts had
been returned protested, and were
placed by the owners in the hands of
W. T. Trammell, attorney at Griffin,
for collection. Mr. W. Trammell
pressed me very hard for the pay
ment of these drafts, and after the
Act of October 17 became a law, he
insisted upon having some of the
bonds turned over to him as security
till the money could be raised.
When Colonel Frost, the President of
the Company, came here, I referred
Mr. Trammell to him. I do not
know what passed between them,
but I do know that at Mr. Frost’s re
quest, he (Frost) was shown a list of
the drafts held by Trammell for col
lection, with full explanation as to
the use and disbursements made of
the proceeds of said drafts. He ex
pressed himself fully saisfied that the
claims were just and legitimate, or
dered their payment, and left with
me sixty-five one thousand dollar 2d
mortgage bonds, for the purpose of
securing the payment. I afterwards
exchanged the bonds and settled the
claims held by Mr. Trammell. Ido
not remember of the matter as ever
having been mentioned between my
self and L. N. Trammell.
I was at that time, and for several
months befors and after, the only
agent of the B. & A. Company, in
this State, authorized to make con
tracts.
i As you refer to Mr. Frost’s state
ment being under oath, as an act of
justice to Colonel Trammell, I have
thought best to place this statement
under equal sanction of solemnity.
Respectfully, yours,
H. I. Kimbali*

SEVENTH DISTRICT.
Hon. L. N. Trammell, tho Democratic
Nominee for Congress, Places the Party
Standard nt the Disposal of the Party.
A Nohle Letter.
Dalton, Ga., Oct. 7th, 1874.
To the Democratic Executive Commit
tee of the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict :
On the 2d of September I was fair
ly nominated for Congress by a le
gally called, properiy constituted,
openly and honorably conducted
convention of your party. I was
not present at that convention, or
any county meeting by which dele
gates to the convention were appoint
ed; but I have informed myself of
their character and conduct, and no
fact or circumstance has come to my
knowledge which casts discredit upon
any of these bodies, or any individual
who participated in them. Prior to
my nomination, acting upon the be
lief that my overthrow was necessa
ry to the success of any other candi
date, a bitter and unrelenting war
had been waged upon me personally
and politically, in a combined com
mon effort, by some of my competi
tors and their adherents. This can
vass has been in various places con
ducted with a reckless disregard to
truth. A flood tide of slander and
falsehood had set in against me. To
effect the success of some other candi
date, by the accomplishment of my
overthrow, many of the friends of
several of my competitors had been
unalterably committed against me.
After my nomination this flood of
calumny was increased in volume
and virulence. New falsehoods were
added to the already long and black
catalogue. It was asserted that I re
ceived but sixteen votes—less than a
majority of the Convention; that I
had offered SI,OOO to secure the vote
of one county ; that one member of
the convention had received s7oo,and
another SSOO for his vote; that I am
a professional gambler; that my
nomination was the result of intrigue
and fraud; that I received an enor
mous fee (three times as much as I
am worth) to engineer through the
Legislature a huge swindle; that I
was “a corrupt ‘lobbyist’ and an un
scrupulous political adventurer;”
that I had grown rich upon corrup
tion ; that I was treacherous to my
friends,my party,and my State ; that
I had offered 84,000 to bring into the
field a Radical candidate. These and
other charges all basely, and without
qualification, false, have been persist
ently pressed against me, some in one
locality and some in another, the se
lection being made with regard to
their availability,by some disaffected
Democrats to secure another nomin
ation, by others to strengthen the in
dependent candidate, by Radicals to
disrupt and destroy the Democratic
party. For six weeks before mv
nomination an adroit schismatic hacl
canvassed the District with the
avowed purpose of breaking up the
organization of the party. He had
found a powerful and wily ally in the
Radical party which is compactly or
ganized upon the principle of destroy
ing Democratic power, and breaking
down Democratic organization. The
leaders of this unholy alliance have
labored with untiring industry and
unceasing energy, and in some in
stances with unscrupulous perfidy, to
accomplish my defeat and the disin
tegration of the Democratic party,
their combined efforts leading to"a
common result. Some good men,not
foreseeing the consequences of their
course,have blindly committed them
selves to the leadership of these apos
tles of Democratic ruin.
When 1 entered upon the canvass I
found that the work of disintegration
had progressed much further,and the
public mind had been poisoned
against me to a greater extent than I
had anticipated. To do myself some
measure of justice, and to heal the
disaffection in the party, if in my
power, I have visited every counl y
but one in the District and addressed
some of the people of each. When
ever I have, met the people face to
face, either alone or in discussion
with the independent candidate, and
presented the proofs of the falsity of
the outrageous charges against me,
and the argument in favor of the or
ganization of the party, I have tri
umphantly vindicated myself and
rallied many thinking Democrats to
their party standard. 1 cannot pos
sibly get tlte ear of one-fourth of the
Democrats of the District; and, see
ing the result of fair discussion, my
competitor, the so-called independent
Democratic candidate declines to can
vass with me, although he had pub
licly challenged me to the stump and
had entered into a written agreement
so to do. I do not distrust my ability, |
if the time be allowed, to counteract
successfully the effect of the uufair
representations of my record, and of
me personally, this disorganizer and
his allies have made, and will make,
in my absence, and of a thousand
tongues busy in the dirty work of
defamation, and of the skillful tac
tics of the Radical party, and of the
specious but deceptive cry of “the
people’s candidate” brought out by
himself alone.
In those counties which voted for
me in the first instance, in the Con
vention, I would get the support of
the entire Democracy, and large ma
jorities in those counties which came
to my support, the process of organi
zation is progressing favorably. My
chances for election are fair.
The “Independent” has stated that
had any one of my competitors been
nominated, or had any one been
nominated to whom there was no
grave personal charges, he would
have withdrawn from the canvass.
Accepting these assertions as sincere,
I deemed it a duty to myself, to the
Democratic party,and to my country
to afford an opportunity for party
unity and harmony, upon the basis
which will remove the obstacle in the
way of those who have, up to this
time, fomented disorganization.
Before I had completed the circuit
of the District ten days ago, I sub
mitted these views and this plan to
the Executive Committee of the Dis
trict. Their action has been made
public, which has been critized un
fairly. I now assume the responsi
bility of giving that direction to this
complication, for which I am in no
way responsible; and I asked the
Executive Committee to take prompt
action in the premises.
In my view, the unity of the par
ty is of vital importance to the State.
Two years hence, a President a Gov
ernor and a Legislature will be elect
ed. We cannot afford to go into that
contest with a demoralized party. As
I have before stated, the Radical par
ty is organized upon the principle of
disorganizing the Democratic party,
with a view to placing in position
men at least under obligations to
them, and, if possible, in full sympa
thy with them.
Disintegration is more than defeat;
it means the death and dissolution
of the only party that has afforded
succor in the past and offers hope in
the future to our stricken people.
I never have,and never will,know
ingly interpose an obstacle to the
harmony of the Democratic party.
Neither my rights nor my wrongs
can induce me to be auxiliary to the
destruction of the unity of the Dem
ocratic organization.
I subordinate all personal consider
ations to the success of the party,and
the consequent good of the country.
I offer my withdrawal from the can
vass to the Executive Committee
that thereby party unity can be better
obtained and party success secured.
I place the Democratic cause in your
official hands.
In placing our party standard at
the disposal of the party by such
means as its constituted authority
may direct, I pledge to it my contin
ued fealty. All that I can do will be
done to prevent it from going down
in disgrace and defeat in this, hereto
fore, the banner District of Georgia.
Your fellow-citizen,
L. N. Trammell.
THE THIRD TERM.
The Utica Observer, having said
that “prominent men in the Repub
lican party know that Judge Pierre
pont is a prominent advocate of
Grant’s scheme for a third t\rm,” a
Sun reporter called yesterday on
Judge Pierrepont, and having read
to him the paragraph, asked whether
it was true.
“A paragraph which has recently
been published in several newspa
pers,” replied Judge Pierrepont, “to
the effect that I had said to an ac
quaintance that I favored the re-elec
tion of President Grant, is not true.
When I have anything to say on so
public a matter, I say it publicly,and
not to my friends. Now, you may
saj',” he continued, “that Gen. Grant
toid me himself that he intended to
retire at the expiration of his present
term. I think he told the truth. I don’t
believe that he thinks that he will be
renominated. I don’t believe that he
wishes or that he will seek a renomi
nation. Nor do I believe that any
body but those who wish to make a
fuss think that he will be renominat
ed. It is true that Grant has not pub
licly said that he would not be a can
didate for re-election ; but that is be
cause so many people are trying to
make him declare his intentions. He
will not be forced to say what he in
tends to do. I think,” added the
Judge, “that I have given you a defi
nite answer to your questions.”
As the reporter arose to take his
leave Judge Pierrepont said: “We
said nothing about this third-term
question in our Convention because
we did not wish to be regarded as
having yielded to the clamor of men
who are fond of making a fuss. Peo
ple may talk about the third term,
but that they will see that when the
time for him to speak comes, Gen.
Grant will say that he neither desires
nor seeks a re-election.
GRANT’S AMBITION AND THE SOUTH.
One of the most intelligent plan
ters of Louisiana in a letter to the
editor of the New York Sun expresses
opinions which are very generally
entertained in the South when he
says:
“If we are to continue a free people
in the South, in the sense that we of
Louisiana are free, we would pray
that this miserable farce of a repub
lic should cease. Among intelligent
men in the South it is looked upon
as such, and many a quondam lord
of the land is backing Grant for a
third term because he believes that
the latter is aiming at a centralized
government, the only remedy for ne
gra suffrage.”
These few words explain whatever
there is of favor for a third term in
the South. Though no man in Amer
ica is so thoroughly detested by the
intelligent people of the Southern
States as Grant, yet there are those
who favor his aspirations for a third
term simply because they believe
that this would result in the extinc
tion of republican institutions in the
United States; and they would live
under any regular despotism that
they can imagine rather than submit
longer to the robbery and brutal in
solence of the ignorant negroes and
villainous carpet-baggers who now
exercise absolute power over the peo
ple of several important States.
A CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS.
Some time since the idea was
broached of a conference of the Gov
ernors of Southern Democratic States
for the purpose of counteracting the
effect of the Southern Republican
Convention,which will meet in Chat
tanooga on the 13th instant. Gov
ernor Brown, of Tennessee, was gen
erally looked to as the leader of the
movement. After confering with the
other Democratic Governors, Gov
ernor Brown and Governor Leslie, of
Kentucky, held a meeting in Nash
ville the other day, and decided that
the proposition was not desirable or
feasible, as the Governors of Virgiina
and Texas declined taking partin the
movement. It was agreed, however,
to have a conference of Governors of
all of the Democratic States, North
and South, together with representa
tive Democratic citizens from States
not Democratic, or “possibly of the
Governors of all the States, irrespec
tive of party, with a view' to a calm,
earnest and patriotic discussion of the
broader questions of the conflict be
tween State and Federal jurisdic
tions.”—[Ex.

BAD BLOOD!
“A corrupt tree,” saith the Inspired Volume,
“bringeth forth not good iruit," nor can cor
rupt blood impart health, beauty and good
flesh, or spirits. “The Blood is the Lite,” and
health can only be enjoyed in its full perfec
tion where the blood is kept in a pure and un
corrupted state, hence the necessity of pure
blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant spirits,
long life and happiness.
AN IMPURE CONDITION OF THE BLOOD,
manifests itself indifferent forms of disease,
such as Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald-Head, Ring-
Worm, Pimples. Blotches, S]iots, Eruptions,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Rough
Skin, Scurf, Scrofulous Sores and Swellings,
Fever Sores, White Swellings, Tumors, Old
Sores or Swellings, Syphilitic Affections of the
Skin, Throat and Bones. Ulcers of the Liver,
Stomach, Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus.
In this condition of things something is need
ed AT OSCE TO CLEANSE THE BLOOD, and neu
tralize the insidious poison that
BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE,
as it courses through the veins, sowing seeds
of death with every pulsation.
Dr. Pemberton’s Compound Extract of Stil
lingia, (or Queen’s Delight) will potitively ef
fect this desideratum, expelling every, trace of
disease from the blood and system, and leav
ing the skin
SOFT, FAIR AND BEAUTIFUL.
For all diseases of the BLOOD, LIVER and
KIDNEYS, this Great Vegeta bit Alterative is
without a rival. It will cure anv CHRONIC
or LONG STANDING DISEASE, whose real or
direct cause is BAD BLOOD. RHEUMA
TISM. PAINS IN LIMBS or BONES, CONSTI
TUTIONS BROKEN DOWN by Mercurial or
other poisons, are all cured by it. For SYPHI
LIS, or SYPHILITIC TAINT, there is nothing
equal to it. A trial trill prove it. It is a most
useful Spring and Fall Purifier of the Blood,
Its safety and innocence have been fully
tested, so that it may be administered to the
most tender infant.
