The linen merchants of Belfast and
neighborhood on Oct. 29, entertained
Mr. Thomas Barbour, of New York
at a banquet in the Music Hall, in
recognition of his firm resistence of
an unjustifiable demand for duty im
posed upon linen goods from the
north of Ireland by a department of
the United States government. The
United States Treasury seized his
books, placed custom officers upon
his mills, and demanded penalties
amounting to about £50,000. Mr.
Barbour refused to pay, and success
fully established hiscase. The Mayor
presided.
A man named Beiges, whose rea
son seems to have been affected by at
tendance at Spiritualist seances, com
mitted three murders in the vicinity
of Toulouse on Oct. 24. He first shot
two men who were repairing the
road. He next fired at a dealer of
old iron who was ascending the stairs
of his house, and lastly fired at a gro
cer, who was shaving himself iu his
shop. The latter was severely wound
ed in the eye and forehead; the oi her
three were killed on the spot. Beiges
then slabbed himself,but not danger
ously, and he was arrested. He has
been in the habit of keeping a shoot
ing gallery at fairs.
The second trial of Jaumart, the
Belgian “claimant,” was concluded
on Oct. 27 before the court at Liege,
after forty-eight sittings. The jury
found the prisoner guilty of forging
a will purporting to be that of Baron
de Pasquet d’Acosse, and the Court
sentenced him to pay a fine of 1,000
francs and the costs of the trial. Jau
mart said that the jury had made a
mistake. A later despatch from Liege
states that Jaumart has appealed
again to the Court of Cassation, the
highest court which has to decide on
formal questions relating to trials.
The fortune of the deceased Baron
amounts to more than 8,000,000
francs.

An American has just been appre
hended in Rome charged with the
forgery of Brazilian bank notes. He
had for confederate an Italian priest,
said to be a skillful engraver, who is
also in custody. In the apartments
of the American, wdio was living in
Home in the grandest style, were
found lithographing stones, engrav
ings, chemicals, and everything nec
essary for the manufacture of the
notes. When the prisoners were ar
rested all was ready for printing, and
the priest affirms that in twenty-four
hours they could have struck off notes
to the value of twelve milliou dol
lars. Anew issue of paper money
said to be contemplated by the Bra
zilian Government is supposed to
have stimulated the forgers’ industry,
and their notes, which are described
as being most skilfully made, were
for the amounts ofs2o, SIOO, and SSO
respectively.
It is undeniable that the South is
full of disaffection, and is on the
point of mutiny. But it cannot be
said now, as was justly said at the
outbreak of the great rebellion of
1861, that the Southern opposition is
causeless and unjustifiable. Instead
of rebelling against the mildest and
most equitable government ilmtever
existed, as the South did in 1861,
they are protesting against legalized
rapacity. The grievances of the South
are too real. If Southern dissatisfac
tion expresses itself in an irregular
wav, it no more than should have
been expected from a suffering, help
less people against whom regular
methods of r('dress are closed.— N. Y.
Herald.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TRIUMPH
ANT IN THE UNION.
The astonishing victory of the
Democratic party and the defeat of
the Radicals form the staple of news
paper articles and political conversa
tion. The House of Representatives
is overwhelmingly Democratic, and
by 1876 a sufficient number of Radi
cal Senators will retire and a not im
probable majority of Democrats may
take seats in the Senate chamber.
Various causes have been assigned for
this complete turning of the political
tables and ascendancy of the Demo
cratic party. The panic and contin
ued depression of the material inter
ests of the country ever since it
occurred, the civil rights bill, the as
sumption of authority by the Presi
dent and his party not recognized by
the Constitution,Ahe centralizing ten
dency of the administration to the
disregard of all rights of the States,
the third term aspirations of Gen.
Grant, the profligacy of office-holders,
swindlings of the government treasu
ry, nepotism, favoritism, thieving,
debauchery of the public offices, dis
regard of the rights and sufferings of
the whole people of the South which
the blinded Norib has at length dis
covered was allowed only for person
al and party ends, the maladministra
tion of public affairs in general, the
decay of industries and mercantile
and agricultural interests, eacli and
aIJ have been assigned as reasons for
the popular uprising which has as
tounded the whole country, and
which in our heart of hearts we pray
will culminate in the election of a
Democratic President in ’76. In 1776
our fathers proclaimed their inde
pendence of British despotism, and it
is fit that on the recurrence of its an
niversary two years hence, their chil
dren should celebrate its coming by
the re-assertion and redemption of
their liberties. Such an event would
well nigh reconcile us to a visit to
Philadelphia at the proposed Centen
ial Celebration on Independence
Day. Let us thank God and take
courage. The night lias gone, and at
last the day dawns.
The Democratic leaders in Con
gress will have need of all their wis
dom and caution to preserve their
vantage ground, and so to shape
their political action as not to weak
en the good cause before the comiug
of the Presidential election. The po
litical battle which has been so long
contested, ending in the great victory
which has j ust been won must not have
its fruits for which it was fought and
lost by the carelessness or recklessness
of our representatives, the expectant
Democracy, or the press. We have
every reason to believe that the gov
ernment wilt, on the retirement of
Grant, be left in the hands of the
Democratic party, in the Executive
chair and both the Congressional
houses, aud scarcely a doubt can be
reasonably entertained that the lead
ers of the party will see to it that no
false step shall be taken of which the
wary Republican chiefs may take
advantage. Thecounsel of able men,
both in and out of Congress, will be
had,and all our people, North, South,
East and West, will look forward
with the most hopeful expectations
for the next two years, ushering in
the year of a nation’s jubilee. If the
leading men of the Democratic party
would by common consent agree up
on a policy for the party, a thing we
imagine not difficult to be done in
view of the great interests at stake,
'all will be well. The party has a
right to expect it, and we trust it
will be done, for the sake of the har
mony of the party in the several sec
tions of the Union. So far the victo
ry is with the Democracy, and all
the portents are that she will resume
the reins of governmental authority
with all her ancient renown, illus
trated and rendered glorious by her
steady devotion to the principles of
the Constitution and the fathers,
through more than a decade of op
pression and Radical misrule.
Says the New York Herald :
On the 2d of November Gen. Grant
was a power; to-day he simply rep
resents a defeated and dishonored
party. The people have spoken and
condemned his administration. We
do not see how this verdict can be re
versed, nor how a Democratic Presi
dent can be defeated in 1876. But a
President with two years of power
has many opportunities. If Gen.
Grant rises to these opportunities he
may not save his party, but lie may
do much toward the vindication of
his former fame.
COTTON AND CARTERSVILLE.
On application to the Agent at the
depot, we learn that there is a very
large falling off in the number of
bales of cotton brought to this market
this fail, as compared with deliveries
at the same place iu former seasons.
This may in part possibly, but to a
very small extent certainly, be ac
counted for by a smaller crop than
usual. But the weather has been so
exceedingly flue for picking during
the late unrivalled fall, and the cot
ton has been so rapidly picked out,
that the reason assigned, if true at
all, can have no application at the
present time. The Agent informs us
that there is a falling off of at least
one-third of the number of bales,
which are usually received at this
depot up to this date. It is stated on
all hands that our farmers, instead of
bringing their cotton to Cartersville,
are carrying it to Acworth, Kingston
and Rome, and that this year these
towns are receiving the benefit of the
cotton trade which legitimately be
longs to us. We can have no doubt
of the reliability of this information,
as it is unfortunately for us too true.
To take off largely from the trade so
considerable an item as this deficit
makes, can but work injuriously up
on the business of the town and upon
the value of property, and if contin
ued in the future will place a consid
erable damper upon the growth and
prosperity of Cartersville.
Two causes are assigned:
1. That persons owing money here
instead of bringing their cotton to
this market, aud selling it here and
paying their obligations, prefer to
carry it to other points and pocket
the proceeds, leaving their creditors
to get their money out of them the
best way they can. If this is true it
is not only a very hard case, but a
sad commentary upon the honesty of
any who might thus evade the pay
ment of just obligations. We know
nothing as to whether this is so or
not, but we simply give it as one of
the reasons assigned.
2. That the purchase of cotton here
is not* made for the benefit of the
trade, but is made in the main irre
spective of it —in other words that
cotton is bought here and sold in oth
er markets as an independent busi
ness of its own, out of which money
is to be made without reference to
the sale of goods in our stores, and
the building up and keeping up the
trade of the town. That in other
places it is not so. For instance, it is
said that the merchant in Acworth,
purchasing cotton upon orders, allows
the planter the daily telegraphic full
price and gives him in addition the
commission which he receives for
purchasing. This he does for the
sake of his trade in merchandise.
His object is to thrive as a merchant,
and to make money by the sale of his
goods and not upon cotton. In this
way he gives the very largest price
that can be afforded together with his
commission, and the planter readily
seeing the advantage offered over
neighboring markets, carries his cot
ton, of course to Acworth. The com
mission itself being one dollar per
bale, the planter finds that upon ev
ery five bales he makes five dol
lars, and naturally jumps at the ad
vantage oflered him. He sells his
cotion there, buys his eofiee, sugar,
iron, calico &c., aud supplies himself
generally with such articles as he
needs at the store of the merchant
who has liberally purchased his cot
ton ; and so the farmer gets the best
price for his cotton,and the merchant
makes his fair profit on his goods
sold. The reason assigned seems
good, and we ore informed that so it
is managed by the shrewd and sensi
ble merchants of that growing little
town.
But whatever may be the cause,
whether the one or the other, or both
together, one thing is certain—that
our farmers are very largely carrying
cotton, which in the natural relation
of tilings ought to come to Carters
ville, to Acworth, Kingston and
Rome. The other day we heard one
of the most noted farmers of the
county tell a merchant of this place
that he would carry his crop to
Rome, because the prices there justi
fied his leaving Cartersville, although
it was his nearest and most conven
ient point of trade; and indeed the
opinion against Cartersville as a cot
ton selling market generally prevails.
We have written the above because
we feel that it is of the last impor
tance to our good being that this
whole matter should be inquired in
to, and if possible that this impor
tant trade might be so conducted as
not to injure, but to benefit our city
and county. We solicit enquiry and
open our columns to all or any who
qaay desire to be heard.
CONFERENCE.
The annual conference for North
Georgia, assembles at this place on
the second day of December next.
The number cf members and visitors
will be large, but we are happy to
be informed that arrangements have
been made for their accommodation
by the citizens of Cartersville, so
that all may be comfortably enter
tained. The occasion is one of unus
ual interest to our people, as it is the
first conference, which has ever been
held iu this immediate region of the
State, and will therefore afford the
people at large, and the friends of the
Methodist church opportunity to
witness the proceedings of that body,
and attend upon the ministry of some
of its most famous preachers. The
session, we beiieve, will prove of
large advantage to the citizens of this
place and vicinity, a3 to its present
and future religious bearing, and we
trust will serve to advance the cause
of Christ not only in all the churches
of the various denominations, but
also, in the community at large.
Among other matters of interest
which will come before Conference
for determination, is the alteration
of the general rules upon the subject
of distilling, drinking and selling of
ardent spirits,voted upon and recom
mended by the late General Confer
ence at Louisville to the consideration
and endorsement of the Annual Con
ference. A wide difference of opin
ions exists upon the propriety of the
alteration of the discipline, as is evi
denced by the protracted discussions
which have been carried on in the
Christian Advocate, by some of the
ablest members of the Conferences.
The determination of this question is
one of vital interest to the church,
and the debate will be earnest, able
and protracted. Bishop Wightman,
so favorably known to our people as
the presiding officer at our last dis
trict conference held iu this place,will
occupy the Chair, and several emi
nent visiting ministers from a dis
tance, are expected. We learn also,
that Bishop Pieice will be present.
We congratulate our people upon
the feast of good tilings,which awaits
them, and trust that more than our
warmest wishes for the good results
of the Conference may be realized by
our whole community. North West
Georgia embraces a vast portion of the
State’s area, lias a large and growing
population, and in every respect is
one of tiie most important divisions
of Georgia. We are glad to see that
it is so regarded, religiously by the
various denominations, who from
year to year are turning more atten
tion to it.
REV. THOMAS F. PIERCE.
We regret to learn that Rev.
Thomas F. Pierce, the able and pop
ular Presiding Elder for the Rome
District last year, met with a very
serious accident the other day, which
may confine him for some time to his
house. He was called as a witness to
Greensboro’, and when about to re
turn home to Union Point, was re
quested by one of his acquaintances
to carry his pistol for him in his bug
gy. When Mr. Pierce was taking the
pistol out of his buggy, it slipped out
of its case, and falling to the ground,
fiipd, passing a ball through the leg
of Mr. Pierce near the ancle-bone.
The ball passed round the bone, and
lodging near the skin on the outer
side of bis leg, was cut out by an at
tending physician. The wound is
said to be very painful,but Mr.Pierce
was reported as doing well.
The police boundaries of London
cover 576 square miles and a popula
tion of 4,0(X),900 of inhabitants. Here
are gathered more Jews than there
are in Palestine, more Scotch than
there are in Edinburgh, more Irish
than there are in Dublin, more Ro
man Catholics than there are in Rome,
and there is a great variety in the
languages spoken. There is a birth
in London every five minutes, and a
death every eight minutes.
CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE.
Perhaps no county in theStateisas
well supplied with candidates for
office as the good county of Bartow.
Turn where you will, you are almost
sure to meet up with one of these
gentlemen, any one of whom, is of
course, fully qualified for the duties
of the office sought, and each and all
of whom are busily engaged in the
pleasant and profitable business of
electioneering. Never was desire
more strongly manifested, never was
importunity more constant and press
ing. We almost wish that we had a
vote for each,and all of them, and that
that single vote could install each and
all of them in some lucrative office.
But evidently a good manyare doomed
to disappointment and it is almost as
impossible to tell who will be the for
tunate candidates, as it would be to
do any other impossible thing. These
remarks apply and have referrence
especially to the candidates for tax
collector of the county. A month
ago the number had reached twenty
at least, some say thirty, and since
that time, others haveappeared upon
the field. Verily a strong desire
has seized our people for promotion
in the way of office holding. All of
them, we believe, are clever men,
and so for as we know, every one of
them was a supporter of Felton for
Congress, with the exception of Mr.
Branson, who was a warm friend
of Dabney. In a race like this, a few’
hundred votes or less, may be a plu
rality, and elect, while if the contest
was only betw’een two, it might take
a thousand todecide the matter. How
the candidates can make anything
like reliable calculations as to proba
ble chances, is beyond our reckoning,
as the whole affair must turn out to
be a sort of political chuck-luck—2o
chances against to one in favor of
each candidate. If no arrangement
is made to seJ tie dow r n between them
selves, by all declaring in favor of, or
selecting in some way, some particu
lar one out of the score, who shall run
the race, who knows, but that there
may be yet further additions to the
list ? The fever prevails and is catch
ing.
THE BALLOT AGAINST BAYONETS.
England fought for many years and
made great sacrifices to tec*u v e the
writ cf habeas corpus or the personal
liberty bill, which guarantees to per
sons their liberty, unless they are im
prisoned by due process of law.
The same principle is embodied in
the Constitution of the United States,
which provides that pei’sons accused
of crime “shall be informed of the na
ture and cause of the accusation;’’and
that no person shall be deprived of
life, property or liberty “wilhoutdue
process of law.” But President
Grant’s soldiers arrested the bestciti
zens of Louisiana, and put handcuffs
upon them. They arrested fifty-four
of them in one town. When asked
for their authority and legal process,
they patted their revolvers and said,
“this is our authority.” When asked
for what offense these citizens were
arrested, they refused to tell. Such
srrests, in this manner, in England,
would have roused the English people
to arms.
British soil would have been red
dened with human blood, if necessa
ry, to stop such despotism and op
pression. But the people of Louisana,
knowing the falsehoods that have
been retailed against them and the
great abuses heaped upon them by
the centralists at Washington, bore
the shackles with remarkable pa
tience, and quietly went to the polls
for redress. Many of the most intel
ligent colored voters, knowing and
appreciating the terrible wrongs that
the Washington government was in
flicting upon the people of their State,
voted with the white men to over
turn the usurpers and their tyranny.
The peaceful ballot, we rejoice to say,
has won a victory more significant
and more valuable than a triumph of
arms could have been to them. It is
certainly one of the most cheering
and useful of all the remarkable tri
umphs of the people on the memora
ble first Tuesday of November, 1874.
—Hartford Times.
A daring attempt to defraud the
Imperial Ottoman Bank in Constanti
nople has just failed. A respectable
looking man, calling himself an
American, presented to the bank a
circular letter of credit for a large
amount from Messrs. Page and Rich
ardson, of Boston, and drew thereon
some £1,500. He gave, in accordance
with the instructions contained in
the letter of credit, drafts for the
amount on the City Bank of London.
Having accomplished this feat he
called at the bank of Messrs. Hanson
& Cos., and producing the same letter
of credit, asked permission to draw
for £9OO. But Messrs. Hanson took
notice that their customer had al
ready that day drawn a large sum
from the Imperial Ottoman Bank,
and declined acting on the letter of
credit until they had received advice
or made further investigations. In
the mean time they communicated
with the Ottoman Bank, who then
came to the conclusion that they had
been swindled. It was subsequently
verified by telegrams sent to and re
ceived from Paris and London that
the two indorsements of previous
payments in the letter of credit were
forgeries. As soon as the suspicions
of the Imperial Ottoman Bank had
been roused, they took every meas
ure to apprehend the offender. He
was traced on board an Italian steam
er starting for Odessa, but he man
aged to escape to shore. He was ul
timately found in a poor hotel at Ga
latta with all the money except £3O
upon him. He is now safely lodged
in prison.
GORDON FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
The Augusta ConsiiluLionatist
thinks “it is almost too soon to trot
out Presidential candidates,” but
says “if the signs of the times are
good for anything, aud the South is
to be recognized as an equal in the
Union, Gen. John B. Gordon is the
coming man for the Vice-Presiden
cy.”
People are sometimes too slow for
their own interests. If we want
Gordon for Vice-President, it is none
too soon to trot him out. Does the
Constitutionalist remember that the
great “new departure” fiasco was
concocted iu New York in Novem
ber, 1870? That movement was
made with a view to the Presiden
tial election of 1872, and first found
utterance at Dayton, Ohio, in May,
1871.
We ask the Consiilutionalisi if it
would not like to have the South
recognized as an equal in the Union
by having Gordon for Vice-Presi
dent? If so, will our confrere unite
in trotting him out early and keep
ing him out to the end of a success
ful race? Will the Constitutionalist
answer ?
Gordon is a true Democrat and a
true representative man of the South
in every particular—as a soidier, a
gentleman and as a politician.— Rome

A STRANGE STORY ABOUT GENERAL |
GRANT.
[From tut Philadelphia Sunday Traater’pt.]
During the past summer General
Grant, with a number of friends,
made a trout-fishing trip in one of
the Middle Stales. In the compa
ny was a quick, whole-souled Demo
crat, who voted for the General in
1872, because he believed him lo be
the winning man. This gentleman
and Grant,weary of piscatorial pleas
ures, left the party early iu the day
and returned to the quarters where
they were to spend the night. Some
hours after, when the rest came in,
Grant and his Democratic friend were
found with a half-emptied whiskey
bottle between them, discussing the
propriety of the General declaring
himself Emperor of the nation—his
Democratic friend insisting that re
publican government was a failure,
and that with the army in command
he not only could, but ought to at
once imitate Louis Napoleon. When
the party entered this part of the pro
gramme was nearly settled to the
satisfaction of both, when the Presi
dent was asked by his Democratic
friend what kind of a son he had to
succeed him in a case of contingen
cies ; whereupon Grant entered free
ly into the discussion of the abilities
of his boys, declaring emphatically
that one of them at least was abun
dantly able to wear a crown.
Wheel with India-Rubber
Tire. —Nessrs. Bird &Cos., of London
have lately brought into notice anew
and improved wheel, with India
rubber tire, which is claimed to be
capable of wearing as long as, or
longer than an iron tire, and to have
the great advantage of perfect noise
lessness and absence of injurious jar.
The draught of the carriage is said to
be reduced by the use of th ; s tire
nearly one-third. It appeals to be
simply a tire of solid rubber, fasten
ed on the exterior of an ordinary
wheel by bolts, such as are used with
iron ties, and it may be thinner than
the usual kin and, merely serving the
purpose of a band to hold the wood
work firmly together. —New York
