Dr. Felton’s Election—How
the New York Herald Views
it.— Says the Herald :
According to the latest returns the
Democrats elect to Congress Julian
Ilartridge, W. E. Smith, Phil Cook,
H. R. Harris, M. A. Chandler, J. H.
Blount, A. H. Stephens, Garnett
McMillan. Felton, the independent
candidate in the Seventh District,
has received a heavy vote, and should
he he elected will he the only oppo
nent to the Democratic delegation in
Congress.
An invalid girl in Philadelphia
was cured of a nervous affection of
the spine which from childhood pre
vented her from walking, by attend
ing the entertainments of negro min
strels every night for two years. She
soon became stronger, and in less
than a year could walk home from
the theatre. She never received any
benefit from the best medical advice,
and her friends give the minstrels
the credit of her recovery.
At Strassburg it was iately ordered
that newly born children must hence
forth receive no names which did not
appear in the German calendar. A
citizen of moderate views who wished
his daughter to be named Blanche
has been obliged to put up with Ma
thilde. Fernand, Carlos, and Suzette
have had to give way to Ferdinand,
Karl, andSuzanna. This measure has
been taken under a French law, of
the time of the Devolution, which
had long been forgotten.
Exemplary damages have been
given by a Baltimore jury, in a case
in which a man shot another hy ac
cident. The defendant playfully
took up a gun, entertaining the com
mon idea that no gun can possibly
be loaded, and playfully pointed it
at his friend- As it always happens
in such cases, the gun was loaded,
and he shot and almost killed his
friend, only in fun of course. The
jury showed their appreciation of
such genial humor by giving a ver
dict for $6,000 damages.
A monster pike was caught the
other day from Ripley Lake,
near Bagshot Park, in England,
which belongs to the royal domain.
The fish weighed 35 pounds and
measured 3 foot 10] inches in length.
The eye was exceedingly beautiful,
the head shone like smoked mother
of-pearl, every scale was perfect, and
fins as red as a perch ; four black
bars extended some distance from
the tail upward, giving the fish a
zebra-like appearance. The fish is
supposed to be about If) years old. j
Its roe weighed 3] pounds and con- j
tained 43,000 eggs.
The immediate predecessor of the!
present Grand Vizier of Turkey,
Mohammed Rusdi Pasha, has just !
died, at the Hedjaz, to which place
he had been appointed Governor.
He was a man of great ability, and
had raised himself from the ranks
of the Ulemas to the highest office
in the Empire. He was, however,
latterly followed by ill luck. His
palace in Stamboul was partially
burned ; his only son was struck by
paralysis and died ; he himself was
summarily dismissed by his sover
eign and remitted to an honorable j
exile in Arabia, where lie has fallen j
a victim to the climate.
Apropos of the Prince of Wales’s
recent visit to Chantilla, a Paris pa
per mentions the torchlight hunt,
given under the regency by the Prince
decoude to the Emperor Paul I. At
every ten paces a peasant was station
ed with a torch. On returning to the
chateau a splendid repast was served
in what appeared to be a gallery, the
beauty of which excited the Czar’s
admiration. “ Where do you think
you are?” asked the Prince. “In
the finest apartment of the most hos- j
pitable of princes,” replied his guest.
Thereupon the curtain fell, and dis- ;
closed 300 horses eating their oats out ;
of nuirble'mangers. The wonderful j
gallery was the Prince’s stable.
The Perpignan (France) court mar
tial gave judgment on Oet. 22, after
sixteen hours’ deliberation, in the
case of the person charged with the
illegal arrests in October, 1870. Salet
tes, who induced the Prefect to des
patch the Perpignan National Guards
by representing that a Legitimist ris
ing was imminent, was condemned
to twtjfk’ years’ hard labor, three
others Wien years, one to eight, one
to six, and five to five years’ hard la
bor. Carrere, the then Mayor of Pia,
and Estirach, his secretary, were con
demned to five years’ detention in a
fortress, two others to five years’ im
prisonment,and Kremer, the Captain
of the National Guards, with some
others, to two years’ imprisonment.
Three of the accused were acquitted.
BARTOW COUNTY.
This county gave a majority of 1442
votes for Dr. Felton in the late elec
tion, and wg now propose to give our
solution of the reasons which induced
so large a number of the old-line
Democracy to vote for Dr. Felton, in
stead of Col. Dabney, the nominee of
the Democratic party.
It will be remembered that before
the adjournment of Congress, and of
course before General Young had re
turned home to this District, that
very diligent efforts, as was reported,
were made by Col. Trammell to se
cure for himself the nomination at
the forthcoming District Convention.
When Gen. Young returned he found
that his chances began to took rather
gloomy, and forthwith applied him
self vigorously to a canvass of the
District, in order to defeat his oppo
nent and secure the nomination for
himself. A severe and prolonged ef
fort was made to carry the delegation
of Bartow by each of the contestants,
and the county was thoroughly can
vassed from one end of it to the oth
er. Excitement ran high, and when
the day for voting for delegates came
on the largest mass-meeting of Demo
cratic voters, which we remember
ever to have seen, assembled in Car
tersville, and the voting began at the
Court-House. On counting out the
votes it was found that the people
were unanimously for Young. Col.
Trammell did not receive a single
solitary vote, and it is strictly true to
state that at that time the feeling
against him was bitter to the last de
gree. The Convention at Calhoun
assembled and nominated Col. Tram
mell, whereupon the Bartow delega
tion seceded from the Convention.
Immediately preceding the assem
bling of the Calhoun Convention Fel
ton had declared himself an inde
pendent candidate for Congress. The
delegation from Bartow, together
with the large mass of voters at the
County Convention in Bartow who
had elected Young delegates to the
Convention at Calhoun, at once, al
most to a man, declared for Felton
and proclaimed undying hostility to
Trammell. Here then, at the very
beginning of the campaign in this
county, Felton had, at the start, at
least eight hundred intelligent Demo
crats of this county, who to; k the
field for him, and with a ze.il never
surpassed electioneered for him
against Trammell. In process of
events Col. Trammell declined the
race, and Col. Dabney was nominated
to supply his place in the field. The
Democrats in this county who had
committed themselves against Tram
mell, felt that they were committed
in favor of Felton for the campaign,
; and while they uniformly, and we
believe to a man, accorded to Col.
Dabney all those high qualifications
for the office which his friends claim
for him, and under different circum
stances would, with great pleasure,
have voted for him as their Repre
sentative to Congress; yet, commit
ted as they were in the contest, and
having confidence in the ability and
patriotism of Felton, they gave him
their united strength up to the last
moment of the contest.
Think, then, of the fact, that just
at the very commencement of the
campaign, such a large body of de
termined and zealous backers, in
cluding a large number of the very
best citizens of the county, eagerly
and persistently electioneered witli
unwavering industry from the begin
ning to the end of the fight, and the
wonder is not tnafc such a majority as
the polis teii out was obtained for
Felton, but that they did not carry
the county by a still larger vote.
Among other reasons, this, we think,
was the controlling cause of Col. Dab
ney’s deteat in this county. Three
hundred aud forty, however, voted
for Dabney, enough for seed and a
teeming crop in the future political
harvests.
BISHOP WARD.
On Sabbath morning before last, at
the invitation of an official and lead
ing member of tiie African Metho
dist Episcopal church, the senior ed
itor of this paper attended the color
ed Methodist church at this place in
order to hear their new Bishop Ward,
who was then paying them his first
Episcopal visit. Having for many
years both before the war, and since,
mingled in their services, aiding them
in their church operations, both by
counsel, advice and such contributions
of money from time to time as they
needed, always willingly and cheer
fully bestowed, and gratefully receiv
ed by them, and at the same time
feeling a sincere interest in their spir
itual welfare, so far from hesitating,
we at once accepted the invitation,
and at eleven o’clock, went up to the
church. Some little time after our j
arrival the Bishop appeared and the |
services began. Bishop Ward is a
pure type of the genuine Afri-!
can race, without a single drop
of blood of another stock in his
veins. He appears to he about
fifty years of age, and is a perfectly
black man. In person, large and cor
pulent, thick pouting lips, eyes in
clined to be redish, about five feet and ;
ten inches high, and we suppose j
would weigh over two hundred,
pounds. His voice is deep, full and j
strong, his manner composed, quiet,
and perfectly seif-possessed, leaving
the impression upon the mind of the
hearer of reserved power in the
speaker.
We confess to a great disappoint
ment on hearing his sermon. Judg
ing only from his present appearance
one would suppose that tiiere was a j
man whose great pleasure was in eat-;
ingaud sleeping, and whose extreme j
lymphatic presentation indicated j
hardly any respectable mental quali
fications even for a negro. Tim man
agement of his subject, the style in j
which his sermon was delivered, tlie
finished rhetorical sentences, short, ;
terseand wonderfully beautiful, cloth
ed in strong poetic language, ornate
and cultivated, sometimes reach
ing into the very highest re
gions of the sublime, and then soft,
gentle and pathetic beyond discre
tion, weaving as he proceeded a mas
terly argument upon the truth and
power of the Gospel, and the ab
surdity and weakness of scientific in
fidelity as shown by the anology
which he drew between science and
revealed religion, at once dispelled
all such conclusive and displayed be
fore us a man of remarkable power
and commanding eloquence iii the
pulpit. No rant, no bombast, no fu
ry, no hurry, but real sustained and
surprising eloquence.
So very excellent was the introduc
tion to bis sermon, that the impress
ion made upon us was that some su
perior writer had written it for him,
and that he was speaking a speech
committed to memory, but very soon
such a notion was scattered to the
winds, and at the conclusion of his
sermon we felt as after the lapse of
nearly two weeks we now feel, that
before us stood one of the finest speak
er to whom we ever listened.
We see it stated in other papers,
that Bishop Ward is the most re
markable orator of his race, and
from the exhibition of h s pulpit pow
ers made on Sabbath before last, we
can very readily subscribe to the re
marks. When next he comes this
way, we recommend all who can to
go and hear him.
After the sermon, the Stewards of
the church took up a collection in or
der to pay the Bishop’s expenses to
and from Cartersville. We gave them
seventy-five cents. After counting
up the amount collected,they reported
that the sum received, lacked one
dollar and a half of being sufficient,
and the hat was carried around again.
Seeing these poor people putting in
their ten cents a piece here and there
in order to make out this small sum
we beckoned to the Steward carrying
around the hat, and told him that we
would pay the sum needed,which by
this time, was fifty cents. They
changed a five dollar bill for us at the
table, and the fifty cents was thus
paid, making up the amount necessa
ry for the Bishop’s expenses. Join
ing in the concluding services of the
occasion, the benediction was pro
nounced by the Bishop, the congre
gation dispersed, and we, with the
three or four white gentlemen who
were present, came away together,
all expressing their delight in having
attended the services.
We have been particular in the
statements here made, because we
learn that Dr. Felton, in a speech
made at Acworth on the day before
the election, charged of this
paper of having gone to the church,
on the day designated, and desecrated
the Sabbath by electioneering with
the negroes against him.
The statement of Felton is an ab
solute falsehood, and a slander, both
upon the editor of this paper, and the
colored people of the church whom
lie visited at their own kind invita
tion,as can be verified by every mem
ber of the congregation who was
present, and witnessed the proceed
ings. Not one word was said, nor so
far as we know was anything thought
of as stated hy Dr. Felton at Ac
worth.
On mentioning the matter to a
leading member of the African
church, the old man replied with no
little indignation, “its a pint blank
lie,” and so say we.
EX-GOV. BROWN HUNG AND BURNT
IN EFFIGY.
On Saturday night, Dr. Felton’s
friends at this place having received
positive news of official returns re
ceived at Atlanta, electing him to
Congress over Colonel Dabney by a
majority of 82 votes, had a general
jollification and demonstration. The
little city of Cartersviiie was alive
with people from town and country,
and the neighboring villages and
with bands of music, aud horns and
bonfires, and transparencies and
shouting and jubilatees gave full ex
pression to their gratified feelings*
The Doctor, of course made a speech,
thanking them for their support, and
promising that lie would devote him-
s eif to Reform and Retrenchment,
<&e., &c. Other speeches were made
of a few minutes each, and our friend
Murphy being introduced by the
Doctor himself, though a Dabney
man, was so vociferously received, or
rather repelled by the unsympathiz
ing crowd, that after withstanding the
storm of cries and bootings which
continued as long as he maintained
his position on the verandah of the
Bartow hotel, where the speaking
was had, lie was at length compelled
to retire with no opportunity of being
heard.
Just above thedepoton the railroad
there stands a frame abftut fifteen or
twenty feet high, formerly used for
hanging the town boll. It seems that
Gov. Brown had written and pub
lished in the Atlanta Constitution the
letter which we publish below. For
this and it may he for other reasons
also, the excited multitude improvis
ed a figure of a man and hung it up
on this frame, and after leaving this
representation of Gov. Brown to
swing in the air for some time, set fire
to it, and burned it. Around and
around the figure swung, and round
and round the swinging figure curled
the flames, until all that was design
ed to represent the Governor was
consumed. We were not at the ex
hibition, but have given in short,
what we have heard from some pres;
ent, as to the demonstration on Satur
day night.
The friends of Dr.Felton have won
a victory over Col. Dibney, aud are
entitled to rejoice according to their
own way at the result; nor would we
for a moment endeavor to restrain
their exultation. A few days, and
then whatever imprudences may have
been committed, will be seen by
themselves, and doubtless all feeling
will gradually die away, and our lit
tle city resume its usual air of peace
which existed before the late ex
citing canvass aroused her from her
general calm and quietude. Among
the speakers on the verandah was Mr.
Z. Hargrove, of Rome, the famous
North Georgia Radical.
We have nothing further to say,
but publish below the letter of Gov
ernor Brown above alluded to.
LETTER FROM GOVERNOR BROWN.
Editors Constitution : As fre
quent efforts have been made, in the
newspapers supporting the candi
date of the radical party, in the sev
enth congressional district, to drag
my name into the canvass ; and as I
see that Dr. Felton has been elected
over Col. Dabney, one of the purest
and best men of Georgia, who was
the regularly nominated standard
bearer of the democratic party, I ask j
space in your paper for a short com-1
ment.
Against Dr. Felton, asagentleman
I have no remarks to make. It can
not he denied, however, that he was
elected by the almost solid vote of
the radical party, including the uni
ted negro vote of his district, with
the help of a wing of the democratic
party that refused to stand by its
organization mid support its nomi
nee, in the person *of either Col.
Trammell or Coi. Dabney.
I make no assault on motives, but
I predict that the democratic party
has not seen the last of the trouble
that will grow out of this disorgani
zation, as the success of the Qombina
tion between the democrats who bol
ted the nomination and the radicals
will lead to other like experiments,
about which there may have been in
advance a capital understanding be
tween the contracting parties.
I see in a newspaper of this city,
which supported the candidate ol
the radical party of the seventh dis
trict, that there is great rejoicing in
Cartersville over the result, and that
there is to be a grand torchlight pro
cession there to-night; and that I am
requested to furnish a car to bring
the pine down from Dalton to be
used in the procession. Thanking
the correspondent who makes the re
quest, and the editor, who publishes
it for the kind invitation, I have to
remark that, foreseeing the general
results, I had provided an excellent
car load of torch pine for the use of
the democracy last night, on the oc
casion of the brilliant procession
which came off in this city. Part of
it was left, and as the radicals have
triumphed in but a single district in
Georgia, I feel that they are entitled
to be jubilant over that and celebrate
their victory, by a torchlight pro
cession. And, as the* democrats will
not need it, I most cordially tender
to the radicals of the seventh district
the torch pine that was left by the
democracy last night; to be used in
the celebration of their victory ; re
serving only a stick or two, which a
radical friend begs me to allow him
to use in the celebration of the great
radical victories in Washington Ter
ritory and Florida.
Respectfully,
Joseph E. Brown.

A MOTHER’S PEDESTRIAN FEAT.
A woman in South Carolina has
just performed a more remarkable pe
destrian feat than that recorded of the
young officer who walked from Al
dershot to London and back in sev
enteen hours. This lady, by name
Mrs. Francis Baldwin, living at the
foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in
Oconee county, walked the other day
from her home to the house of her
father, near Pendleton, a distance of
thirty-four miles, carrying her baby,
six months old, weighing twenty-one
pounds, in her arms. She left home
about six in the morning, and reach
ed her father’s house at five in the af
ternoon, making an average of a lit
tle over three miles an hour for eleven
consecutive hours, over a mountain
ous, hilly, and rough road, with the
thermometer standing at 96 most of
the time. This feat was not perform
ed for a wager; not a sixpence of
money reached the pocket of the fair
pedestrian. No other motive prompt
ed her thus to exercise her walking
powers but parental affection. The
pleasure of seeing her father and
mother outweighed all personal con
siderations of physical fatigue. Ta
king into account the sex of the per
former, the weight carried, the dis
tance, the time, the nature of the
road, the temperature of the weather,
and the absence of any exciting mo
tive, this walk is supposed to be
“without a parallel in the history of
pedestrianism.” Mrs. Baldwin is
about twenty-six years of age, rather
below medium height, though thick
set, and the mother of four children.
SMALL VOTE OF THIS DISTRICT.
The election returns of this Con
gressional District show that but lit
tle more than one-half, perhaps two
thirds, of the voters went to the polls
last week. Leaving out Cherokee
and Haralson counties, the votes of
which we have not yet seen, the
whole number of votes cast in the
other counties is 13,952. We believe
the whole vote of tiie District is about
25,000.
It is a lamentable feature in the
politics of the country when tiie peo
ple take so little interest in public
affairs as not to vote. We are in
formed, however, that a great many
people were mistaken as to the day
of the last election —believing Wed
nesday, instead of Tuesday, was tiie
day.
We think the next Legislature
should pass a law lessening tne num
ber of election days, and also anoth
er enacting a registration law, re
quiring every voter to cast his bal
lot at his own precinct. Such a law
would prevent illegal voting, and
give a better and more satisfactory
expression of the people in politics.
As the law now stands, there is a
class of voters who can vote illegal
ly and repeatedly at the same elec
tion without detection. We refer to
the nomadic repeaters of the Repub
lican party.— Rome Courier.
One M. Barthone, a widower, of
New Orleans, with a young son and
daughter, in 1859 married a beauti
ful creole girl in that city and sent
his children to school in New York.
In about a year he was brought to
death’s door by poison, administered
by his wife, who lied to Paris with
a paramour, taking much of her
husband’s property. The latter,
however, recovered and at once
sought for his children. He sought
in vain, because the girl had married
and gone, and the son, after leading
a somewhat reckless life enlisted in
the army and disappeared. The
father settled in Brooklyn, and after
amassing a large property died, leav
ing the bulk of it in trust for his
children. These children, who are
William Hath bone of New Haven
and a Mi's. Edwards of Newark, N.
J., afterward appeared and received
their parent’s legacy. That parent
also left a handsome sum with the
city Treasurer of Brooklyn in trust
for his runaway wife, who had so
nearly killed him. The children,
some months since, learned that the
creole wife, after living some time in
Paris, had returned to New Orleans,
and that she had died there in 1873.
They therefore applied to the firm of
A. D. & R. L. Penney of New Ha
ven to get posession of the unclaim
ed legacy. Proofs of the creole wo
man’s death were produced, and af
ter a lawsuit the money was handed
over to the children.
The crusaders are getting to work
again in the West, and the New Era,
a temperance journal gives a verba
tim report of an interview between
| the proprietor of a saloon named
Lyons and a tall, pale lady in deep
mourning, from which it appears that
both the crusader and the crusaded
conduct the verbal contest with a
strict regard to decorum. In reply to
a mild criticism upon thecharacter of
his business Mr. Lyons loftily re
marked : “ Look at these elegant sur
roundings, and believe me that only
gentlemen ever assemble here.” To
which the tall, pale lady with sweet
simplicity replied : “ Do yon not sell
the liquid poison ? Is not this one of
those enchanted palaces which are
but the entrance ways to the broad
avenue which leads to destruction—
whose other end is in hell ? My boy
is like other boys ; his home is drea
ry aud sad since there is only a moth
er in widow’s weeds and tears to wel
come him there; your saloons are
brilliant and gay, with their glow of
light, their flashes of crystal goblets,
brimming with ruby wine. Thecom
pany is jovial; jest and laugh and
song suit his young taste better than
even a mother’s loving tears.” This
affiuenee of language must have effec
tually subdued Mr. Lyons, and it is
to be presumed that his enchanted
palace is now devoted exclusively to
the sale of sarsaparilla, ginger pop,
and similar harmless beverages.
England is the gainer of $60,000 a
year by the death there recently of
the Rev. Thomas Thurlow, nephew
of Lord Chancellor Thurlow. He
was the last of three lives, and with
him dies a pension of £12,000 a year,
enjoyed through the abolition of cer
tain hereditary offices in the family
of Lord Thurlow.

BAD BLOOD!
“A corrupt tree,” saith the Inspired Volume,
“bringeth forth not good lruit,” nor can cor
rupt blood impart health, beautv and good
flesh, or spirits. “The Illood is the Idle,” and
health can only be enjoyed in its full perfec
tion where the blood is kept in a pure and nn
co.-rupted state, hence the necessity of pure
blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant spirits,
long life and happihess.
AN IMPURE CONDITION OF THE BLOOD,
manifests itself indifferent forms of disease,
such as Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald-Head, King
\\ orm, 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
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 thk blood, and neu
tralize the insidious poison that
BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE,
as it courses through the veins, sowing seeds
of death with cveiy pulsation.
Dr. Pemberton’s Compound Extract ol Stil
lingia, (or Queen's Delight) will ef
fect this desideratum, expelling everv trace of
disease from the blood and svsteri?, and leav
ing the skin
SOFT, FAIR aNI> BEAUTIFUL.
For all diseases of the BLOOD, LIVER and
KIDNRTB, this (jrtat TtgtUible Altemtire is
without a rival. It will cure any 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 T AINT, there is nothing
equal to iE 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 he administered to the
most tender iufant.
