Orleans special says the registry returns, now
complete, show that one in three of the tota

According to appointment, lion.

date for Congress from this District,
will address the people of Bartow
county at Cartersvilie. Let all the
people come out and hear him.
So, Gen. Dix is to repudiate the
third term. He too is frightened.
Very well; but it makes no differ
ence. It is too late, and it cannot
amount to anything more than a
confession that he is desperately
afraid of being beaten in November.
Remember that the Congressional
election takes place on the third day
of November, which will be Tuesday
next. Let every Democrat devote
that day to the success of the Demo
cratic candidate. Come out, friends,
and let us show to Democratic Geor
gia that the old Seventh takes her
place as of old among the triumph
ant Districts of the Stale, and thus
present an unbroken front in the
next Congress.
A modern Phygmalion is said to
have died recently in an insane asy
lum in France. He was a maker
and exhibitor of wax work figures,
and made one of a girl so supremely
beautiful that he passed most of his
time in contemplating her. His bus
iness being neglected, bankruptcy
overtook him. lie still retained his
wax figure, but one day his wife de
stroyed it, which so enraged him
that he made a furious assault upon
her, and would have murdered her
but for the intervention of neighbors.
The authorities, finding him to be
insane, placed him in an asylum.
The Borne Commercial of the 25th
says that it has had ample means of
ascertaining the state of the canvass
in various parts of the District, and
the news is cheering beyond his ex
pectation. The majorities for Col.
Dabney in all the upper counties will
be overwhelming. As at present ad
vised, he is well persuaded that Col.
Dabney will carry the District by a
majority of thirty-five hundred at
least. The majority may run up to
five thousand. The tide is setting
hourly in favor of the organized
Democracy and its noble candidate.
The people know and appreciate the
value of the Democratic party at all
times, and especially at such a time as
this. ___
It is very desirable th at a full turn
out of the people should take place
on the day of the election, next
Tuesday the third day of November.
There being no candidate in the field,
except Congressional, many persons
may feel an indisposition to attend
the polls, but the importance of the
occasion demands that every man
who has a vote should not fail to put
it in the ballot box. Let every dis
trict do its duty and the whole De
mocracy come forward and meet the
emergency which is upon us, man
fully. Especially would we insist that
every one who desires the mainten
ance of party organization and the
triumph of Democratic principles
should not fail to cast his vote.
We hear that Cobb county will
prove no laggard in the coming elec
tion. All parties admit that the
election will be closely contested,
and some of our friends insist that
when the votes are counted, the or
ganized Democracy will be found
giving a majority for Dabney.
Cherokee has been hitherto con
ceded to Felton, but Dabney’s friends
are wide awake, and the result it is
said will show that our weakness in
that staunch old Democratic county
has been largely exaggerated. The
organized Democracy are in the field
and will give Col. Dabney a warm
and hearty support.
From a private letter we learn that
Chattooga county will, according to
its voting population, prove the ban
ner county of the organized Democ
racy in the present canvass —its ma
jority for Dabney being put down at
from seven to eight hundred.
The disorganization and breaking
up of the Democratic party at Balti
mare elected Lincoln and brought ou
the late war, and the ruin of the
Southern States. The organization
of the Democratic party has saved
Georgia from Radical rule. Who is
willing to see Georgia in the tread
mill of Radicalism and downtrodden
and enslaved as Louisiana and South
Carolina ? Stick to Democratic or
ganization if you would preserve
your liberties.
Bob Toombs, the great mind and
wise observer, has said that in ten
years the w'hole South would be in
the hands of the Radicals. If you
would prevent it, abide in the Dem
ocratic ship, and keep up your or
ganization. The Democratic party is
the only ark of Southern political
salvation, and Constitutional liberty.
Again, we say, stick to the organiza
tion, and vote for Dabney.
“FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS, RUN ROYS,
HUN.”
From all quarters we hear most
cheering news of the Congressional
race. The nomination of Col. Dabney
is the very thing which the people
desired, and the Democracy are gath
ering around him with a spirit, will,
tnd number which will eertainly
elect him. His election is already a
forgone conclusion, and virtually the
verdict is already rendered, only
awaiting the Third of November to
announce in his favor to the world.
Dade, Catoosa, Walker, Whitfield,
Murray, Gordon, Chattooga, Floyd,
Haralson, Polk, and Paulding are re
garded as certain for him by large
majorities. Cobb county, which has
oitherto been regarded as largely in
the interest of Felton is now put
iown for Dabney upon good informa
tion, while the old line Democracy in
Cherokee are coming up nobly to the
fight, and will allow but a meagre
majority, if any, to the independent
candidate. Bartow is conceded to
Felton, but by what majority, is yet
to be determined.
The fire is in the mountains, sure
enough, good old Democratic fire,
and is burning brighter aud brighter,
the old men and the young men are
guided and cheered by its light, and
gathering around the Democratic
standard will certainly elect Col.
Dabney on the Third day of No
vember.
This issue of our paper is the last
that will appear before the Congres
sional election, and we now calmly
and confidently await the result.
Since the day of the nomination of
Col. Dabney we have had no mis
givings as to his success,and each day
from most cheering intelligence re
ceived from all quarters, but adds to
our conviction that William 11. Dab
ney will be our next representative
in Congress. If the people so will it
we are satisfied that men of all opin
ions will settle down in the assured
fact, that no district will have an
abler, more intellectual, unblemished
and trustworthy representative than
the Seventh. In the meantime, we
bespeak moderation, and kindliness
of feeling and conduct on the part of
all men. Let there be no undue ex
citement or hostility. Every man is
entitled to his opinion and vote, and
after the election is over it will be to
us all a most pleasant reflection, that
in the midst of a very animated con
test, we still retain each for the other
the same old personal friendships and
regards, which existed before we were
thrown, by a chain of fortuitous and
deplorable circumstances, into a tem
porary political antagonism.
Col. Dabney will be in Cartersville
on Friday next to address the people,
and we earnestly request the whole
of the Bartow constituency to come
out and give this able and eminent
gentleman a candid hearing.
By private telegram from Rome on
Saturday evening last, we gather the
following in relation to Dr. Felton
and his audience there on that day:
“Democrats, Radicals and negroes
two hundred (in attendance) negroes
and Rads enthusiastic.” In confir
mation of the above, we publish a
telegram received by the Atlanta
Herald of the same date in relation
to the same meeting. Our readers
will form their own opinions, and
judge for themselves as to the course
which Dr. Felton is now pursuing in
this canvass:
Rome, Ga., October 24, 1874.
Felton spoke to about two hundred
people here this evening, composed of
a considerable number of negroes,
though the Dabney whites were in the
majority. Felton appealed to the ne
groes and Radicals to come to ids
support. The negroes and Radicals
are jubilant. A large concourse of
them followed him to the depot,
headed by the negro band, and gave
him a good send off, as Dabney was
sent otf from iiere yesterday to Cave
Springs by the white band who ac
companied, him to that place,together
with a large crowd of citizens. The
Radicals and negroes are jubulant
over Felton’s speech to-day. W.
About a hundred years ago Indian
corn was introduced into England
with the expectation that it would
furnish the bread about the supply
of which the fast-increasing popula
tion were getting nervous. That
country must then have been expe
riencing a cycle of hot summers, for
the corn ripened all right for three
years in succession. In the fourth,
year it was largely planted, but fail
ed to mature. The attempt to grow
corn was then abandoned, it being
clear that the summer heat was not
great enough, while the liability to
June frosts, similar to those of this
year, was alone enough to make the
attempt hopeless.
The English papers now state that
William Cobbett, son of the famous
Liberal agitator, lias successfully ac
climated corn at Hounslow, near
Loudon, where he inis three acres
growing which have withstood the
severe frosts of last June, aud are
now very promising. If our English
cousius have really got a frost-proof
corn, it will be as valuable to us as to
them.
The interesting suggestion has
been made by a writer in Nature,
that the white telescopic appearance
in many parts of the moon’s surface,
so strikingly resembling snow, may,
in fact, be a coating of salt on extinct
volcanoes of that satellite. The daz
zling, snow-white effect, so familiar
in the appearance of the lunar moun
tains, is commented upon, and it is
thought that a clew to this well
known but hitherto unexplainable
phenomenon, is furnished by some
of the more recent eruptions of Mount
Vesuvius. In this instance a crust
of crystals of salt, very definite, was
formed over the entire surface of the
lava on cooling, the effect of which,
in the sun, being quite similar to the
whiteness of some portions of the
moon viewed by the telescope.
n CAMPAIGN NOTES.
If Dr. Felton should be elected, it
would be set down as the disorganiz
ation of the Democracy of this Dis
trict. He would becounted as much
for one side as the other, whether he
feels that way or not.
Now let us have a short, quick and
decisive campaign,and success against
Radicalism will be the result.
Let us make quick work of disor
ganization, “a sure thing” against
Radicalism.
Those who now support Dr. Fel
ton, vote to split up the Democratic
party.
Let every Democrat now be dubbed
“D. D.”—Dabney and Democracy.
Dabney stock is rising in Bartow,
and many reflecting Democrats, who
had been set down as Felton men,
will, on the day of the election, cast
their votes for Dabney.
MR. STEPHENS.
Tlie Reporter of His Sparta Speech As
gerts Its Correctness-Mr. Stephen’s
Deifliil.
(Sparta Times aud Si. r Communication.)
I see by the daily papers, that Mr.
Stephens pronounces the telegraphic
report of his speech here on the 13th
inst.. a “gross perversion and misrep
resentation” of his position and lan
guage.
Many of his intelligent hearers also
failed to understand his position, if it
was not in keeping with that report.
I heard the speech and have heard
several intelligent gentlemen discuss
its various points, and the tone of
all, as they understood, was in keep
ing with the telegraphic report. His
main object seemed to be the presen
tation of the “right issue” before the
people. In doing this, he mentioned
the civil rights bill, the charges of
usurpation and nepotism against
Grant, and the third term; and
plainly said that if we went into the
next national campaign upon these
issues we would be defeated.
He took up the Louisiana case,and
dwelt at length upon it, to show that
Grant had only performed his right
ful duties in the premises; and in the
plainest language, said there was less
usurpation in Grant’s career than any
President he had known. As to the
charge of nepotism, he mentioned
several names among them Jeff
Davis—and went on to show that
Gi’ant was not more liable to the
charge of nepotism than any of
them.
These sentiments are still fresh in
the minds of our people ; and if this
was not defending Grant against va
rious charges, then the telegraphic
report is a “gross misrepresentation.”
He said, in plain words, that the
third term was a foolish issue—that
it was not unconstitutional; that he
had been in the Congress eighteen
years, while the Constitutional term
was two; that he didn’t care anything
for the third term, the fourth or the
fifth term.
I have compared my own version
with that of a numberof “intelligent
hearers,” and not a man have I found
who considered the telegraphic report
a “perversion” or misrepresentation
of the ideas advanced by Mr. Ste
phens, if ideas are to be based on
language employed.
' If the honorable gentleman means
the opposite of what lie says, when
speaking of Grant, he will save him
self considerable annoyance by let
ting that fact be generally under
stood.
In regard to the telegraph report in
question, I will say,that the heading
(placed over it by its editors) was
more direct as to his favoring Grant,
than the dispatch warranted, as will
be seen by the appended document:
“A. 11. STEPHENS—HE FAVORS A
THIRD TERM AND DEFENDS
GRANT.”
Sparta, GA.,Oct. 13.
Hon. A. 11. Stephens delivered a
powerful speech on national politics
here to-day. lie said the issue before
the country is not the Civil Rights bill
Radical corruption or Grant’s usur
pation. These are minor issues. The
true issue is the departure of the par
ty in power from constitutional gov
ernment by throttling of the States
in the exercise of their rights. The
fight if on centralism. He defended
Grantragainst various charges, and
did not object to a third term. He
spoke nearly two hours.”
As I understand a comprehensive
synopsis of the speech will be given
to the public. I leave the hearers and
readers to decide by that whether or
not the spirit of the telegraphic re
port is in keeping with the senti
ments expressed. Special.
By reference to the official pro
ceedings of the Congressional Con
vention of the Seventh District,
which assembled in Rome yesterday
under order of the Executive Com
mittee, Col. William 11. Dabney, of
Floyd county, was placed in nomina
tion as a candidate for Congress. The
Convention met and, upon motion of
Capt. Scott, Col. Dabney was nomi
nated by acclamation amid much en
thusiasm. A committee was ap
pointed to wait on Col. Dabney and
inform him of his unanimous nomi
nation. The committee soon returned
with Col. Dabney, when he ascended
the stage amid loud and deafening
shouts of applause, and accepted the
trust conferred upon him in an able,
warm, and enthusiastic speech—giv
ing expression, in the strongest lan
guage, of his devotion to the great
and ever-living principles of the
Democratic party, and of his earnest
desire to perpetuate and strengthen
its organization in this District.
Though the speech was short, it was
a powerful argument in favor of the
united Democracy, and a strong and
forcible appeal for all Democrats to
now unite against Radicalism and
disorganization. The hall was com
pletely packed and all were aroused
with new zeal for the party which
was most enthusiastically expressed
in rounds of thunderous applause.
Col. Dabney is a gentleman of fine
abilities and a man of sterling integ
rity, against whom no charge can be
brought as to his political record or
private character. He is a native of
Jasper county, but was raised chiefly
in DeKalb county, Georgia. In 1850,
lie came to Cherokee Georgia and set
tled in Gordon county, where he has
resided ever since until some two
years ago, when he settled in Rome.
Col. Dabney is about fifty-seven years
old —of liberal education, and is one
of the ablest lawyers at the Cherokee
bar. He goes out. as a candidate for
Congress with as strong an endorse
ment of unanimity as any man who
ever appeared in a political canvass
—all t lie delegates accepting him with
an enthusiasm that will doubtless be
felt throughout the District. He was
agreed upon spontaneously, irfter
Gen. Young’s name was withdrawn,
as the man who would most likely
unite the party, maintain its organi
zation and solidify its forces —leaving
no excuse for any true Democrat to
refuse to support the nominee of his
party.
No man can now charge that Col.
Dabney has been unfairly nominated,
or that he does not represent the par
ty. Upon him have been concen
trated, through their representatives
in the Convention, the feelings and
desires of the people, of all shades of
opinion as to the canvass heretofore,
as represented by the friends of both
Dr. Felton and Mr. Trammell. His
nomination is a fair and square com
promise of all differences of opinions
existing in the Democratic ranks,and
none can now refuse to stand to the
organization aud thus maintain,most
cordially and confidingly, its integ
rity as long as its banner is carried
by Col. Dabney.
And iii the name of the Demo
cratic party, and of the interests of
the true people of Georgia,we appeal
to every true Democrat in the District
to rally to the standard of the organ
ized Democracy, into whose safe
keeping only can we confide these in
terests. Our party organization must
be preserved intact, or we shall lose
whatever of liberties left to us by the
Usurpations of an unscrupulous ma
jority in Congress. While.our friends
of tha#N’(rthwest are speaking in
thuudertones in our behalf, shall we
allow ourselves to be divided and
scattered by useless dissension,our in
terests and our rights as a free people
to be subjected again to the domina
tion of Radical ascendancy in our
own midst, and that, too, while we
have the power to avert such calami
ty if we only keep united?
Then, Democrats of Cherokee,
Georgia, rally to the banner of your
beloved old party under the lead of
Col. Dabney, who will never allow its
banner to trail in the dust ! —Rome
Courier.
The Democracy of the 7th District
is fully aroused to the importance of
the coming election, and determined
to elect Dabney to Congress.
COL. W. H. DABNEY.
The Convention which assembled
at Rome on Monday did a noble w ? ork
when it nominated", by acclamation,
Col. W. H. Dabney for Congress from
this District. True, Col. Trammell
w 7 as our choice under existing circum
stances, and we did hope that the
Convention, after assembling and in
terchanging view’s, would find it ex
pedient to Democratic success to re
nominate that gallant gentleman,
though he had peremptorily refused
the honor: but that body thought
and acted differently, and wearecon
tent. Next to him, Col. Dabney was
our decided choice, believing as we
did, and do now, that he can more
nearly heal the disaffection in the
Democratic ranks than any other
man in the District. He is a man of
the very highest order of ability—a
man of the strictest personal integri
ty—one against w’hose spotless pri
vate aud political character, the
tongue of slander can bring no char
ges whatever that will have the least
semblance of truth. In this portion
of the District, so far as we have
heard an expression of opinion, his
nomination meets with the most en
thusiastic approval, and that the peo
ple, the true and tried masses of the
Democratic party, will, despite Fel
ton aud his radical allies, rally to his
support and triumphantly elect him,
we confidently believe.
The whole District, from one end
to the other, may be searched, and
no man can be found w’ho posessesiu
as high degree the qualifications ne
cessary for a successful representative
of the rights and wishes of the peo
ple, and if elected he will at once
take a position in the front ranks of
the first statesmen and intellects of
the country. Then, we would ex
hort every Democrat in the glorious
old Seveuth to lay aside their per
sonal disappointments, if they now
have any, and come up manfully,
like true patriots, and give the gal
lant aud pure and honest Dabney
their hearty and warm support. He
is worthy—he can be trusted—he can
be relied upon, for he has been a life
long Democrat —and as true as steel
to the people of his native Georgia.
Let there be no schisms in our ranks
—no luke-warm Democrats to wea
ken our strength in the District; but
let one and all of the faithful rally
around the good old Democratic
standard now thrown to the breeze
for the second time, feeling satisfied
that it has been committed lo safe
hands.— Dalton Citizen.
DEATH OF HON. M. J. WELLBORN.
We learn by telegram from Colum
bus that Hon. Marshall J. Welborn,
of that city, died very suddenly yes
terday. He was sitting on the steps
of the magnetic telegraph building
only half an hour before he died,and
went round on Broad street, where
he first complained of feeling unwell,
and was carried to the Central Hotel,
and died in five minutes. No one
knows what w 7 as the matter with
him, for up to within a few minutes
of his death he looked as well as usu
al. The supposition is heart disease.
Judge Welborn w as widely known
all over Georgia, the South, and the
country. He represented the Mus
cogee District in the Federal House
of Representatives twenty - five
or thirty years ago and was also
Judge of the Superior Court of that
District. Of late, he has devoted his
whole time and money to the Baptist
Church as a minister of the Gospel,
preaching mainly to scattered con
gregations in the country,and he was
a very interesting and effective pul
pit orator. A better man could not
be found, a man of learning, modes
ty, gentleness, sincere piety and ex
traordinary benevolence. The Bap
tist denomination will especially
miss his effective labor and sincere
devotion to their Church.— Telegraph
Messenger of the 11th.
THE FRIGHTENED REPUBLICANS
AGAINST THE THIRD TERM.
{From Hit Indianapolis Journal, organ of Sena
tor Morton.)
It is impossible for President Grant
to be re-elected. The party that
nominates him wili be iguominious
ly defeated. It is not only impossi
ble for him to be re-elected, but not
desirable if it were possible. His re
election would not conduce to the
elevation of American politics or to
the inauguration of such an era of
reform as can alone restore the Re
publican party to popular confidence.
There is but one way to meet this
question. If President Grant does
not speak out before the meeting of
Congress in December, the Republi
cans in Congress must express the
sense of the party against this third
term business. If they had done this
last winter the Republican party
would have been in much better shape
to-day.
Col. J. W. Harris, of Bartow.
—This gentleman’s action in the Con
vention on yesterday, was the admi
ration of the large and intelligent au
dience who greeted him with dea
fening applause whenever lie ad
dressed them. Asa speaker, he has
few equals, and we shall hope to hear
his clarion voice sounding in other
parts of the District. All honor to
such a patriot; may he live long to
meet 1113 Democratic brethren in
Convention to counsel and cheer them
in their attacks upon Radicalism!
—Rome Courier.
As thousands of Dr. Felton’s sup
porters hi came such because they
would not support Mr. Tram
mell, they no longer have an
excuse for being outside of the
organized party. Every Democrat
knows that, without organization,
we cannot hold the party together
and keep it united as a barrier to
Radical supremacy. The way is now
open for a*re-union of our forces
against the common enemy.— Rome
Courier.
At powers’ Auction, last night,
there were gentlemen present from
Chattooga, Walker, Gordon, and
Polk. There were twenty-two of
them. To test the political senti
ment of the crowd, Capt. Watters
took a vote, and every man of them
voted for W. H. Dabney, the next
Congressman for the Seventh Dis
trict. A number of the gentlemen
had been former supporters of Felton.
So it goes—and so you will find it. —
Rome Commercial.
The news of the nomination of Col.
W. H. Dabney created the wildest
enthusiasm in this place. We hear
of quite a numberof Democrats,here
tofore supporters of Dr. Felton, who
have declared their determination to
vote for Dabney. Whitfield is cer
tain to roll up at least six hundred
majority for him. From Walker,
Catoosa and Murray the most encour
aging news reaches" us. All of these
counties will give him big majorities.
—Dalton Citizen.
Magnanimity of Gen. Young.
—Young sent early in the morning a
telegram to Dr. Ballenger for the
Floyd county delegation, saying
“don’t put my name in nomintion—
go for Dabney.” Also another later
in the day to the same effect. Col. J.
W. Harris received two telegrams
from Young, urging the Convention
“not to ballot for him. but go for
Dabney.” —Rome Courier.
After Dr. Felton made his speech
at the City Hall, on Saturday evening
last, when he appealed to the Radi
cals and negroes for their support, he
was followed to the depot by a large
concourse of colored men, headed by
the colored band, wiiere they gave
him the compliment of a serenade.—
Rome Courieer.
Those Democrats who were for Fel
ton vs. Trammell, but are Democrats
true and tried, no longer have any
excuse to support the independent.
Let us stand by the organized party
which has saved us from Radical
“rule aud ruin.” “United, westand,
divided, we fall.” —Rome Courier.

BAG BLOOD!
“A corrupt tree," saitli the Inspired Vo ume,
“briugeth forth not good trait,” 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 in different forms of di case,
such as Tetter, Salt Kheum, Scald -Head, Ring
Worm, Pimples, Blotches, Spots, 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
-kin. Throat and Bones. Ulcers of the Liver,
Stomach, Kidneys, Lung., and Uterus.
In this condition of things something is need
ed at once TO cleanse the bloop, 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’* Compound Extract of Stil
lingia, (or Queen’s Delight) will jxmitirely ef
fect this desideratum, expelling every tr ice of
disease from the blood and system, and leav
ing the skin
SOFT, FAIR aNI) BEAUTIFUL.
For all diseases of the BLOOD, LIVER and
KIDNEYS, this Great Vegetable AlUralirt is
without a rival. It will cure any CHRONIC
or LONG STANDING DISEASE, who>e real or
direct cause is BAD BLOOD. RHEUMA
TISM. PAINS IN LIMB" or BONES, CONSTI
TUTIONS BROKEN DOWN by Mercurial or
other poisons, are all cured by it. For SYPHI
LIS, or SYPHILITIC TAINT, there i* nothing
equal to it. A trial trillprorf it. It is a most
useful Spring and Fall Puriiicr of the Blood,
Its safety and innocence have been fully
tested, so that it may be administered to the
mod tender infant.
