For Congress —Eijhth District,
Hon. A. 11. Stephens.
It appears from an editorial in the
last issue of the Broad A re and Item •
izer, that we were misinformed about
Putnam counly offering §250 reward
for the capture af the negro desperaao,
Henry Jackson. Since announcing
the information we had received in re
fcrence tq the reward offered by Put.
nam county, it has occurred to us that
there is no authority of law for offering
or pay.ng out of the county funds any
sum for the arrest of a criminal. We
know of Ao officer but the Govern
or who has power to offer such rewards
and have them paid out of the public
funds, (see Section 58 Code); and he
has this power only in cases of a felo
ny. The last criminal act of Henry
Jackson was a felony; and we trust the
Governor’s attention will be called to
this case very soon. If there ever was
a case in which a premium should bo
offered for the capture of an outlaw and
desperado, this is certainly one.
The New York Sun thinks the fol
lowing question should be put to every
Democratic candidate for Congress :
“J)o you think a title to office, origi-
Dating and founded in fraud, can, by
any process, be made con?titutional, le
gal and sacred ?”
We always thought that fraud vitia
ted everything Rut we suppose Hayes'
title to office is an exception on the
principle that “the king can commit no
wrong.” Rut we would like to know
how the patriots, who are so anxious to
serve Georgia, stand on the above
question ?
In an interview between Col. Noth*
crland and Mr. Stephens, at Hartwell,
as reported in the North Georgian ,
Col. Nctherland, in speaking of Col.
Billups, asks : ‘-Don’t you think he is
as good a nan as there is in the Dis
trict?” Mr. Stephens replies: “Ido
sir, and not only in that District, hut as
good as there is in the State of Georgia
lie is one of the best lawyers in the
State, and would be a bright light in
the United States Congress. lie is the
man the people should support.” Some
of the Disorganizes (Rrir.dle-tails, as
they are called in North Carolina),
have been trying to hold up Mr. Ste
phens as an illustrious indorser of their
creed, in order to add some respecta
bility to their party. Rut Emory aud
his gang will have to drop Little Alec
“like a hot {.brick.” lie will not suit.
The Southern Watchman k fend of
heading its columns with this quota
ition from John Adams: “Indepen
dence now and Independence forever.”
Watchman , you should go a little fur
thcr in your researches. Find some
•distinguished man saying, “Disorgank
zation now and Disorganization forev
er,” then you will hit it. But you
struck the right man when you com
menced searching among the sayings of
John Adams for your motto ; for he
was the very embodiment of those prin
ciples which the Democratic party have
been fighting ever since he was inau
gurated President.
The Atlanta Republican i.n speaking
of Ben Butler, now makes the observa
tion. “Wonder if there wasn’t some
thing in all the talk about the spoons.”
This never occurred to tbo Republican
UDtil alter Ren has been ferreting out
the rascality committed by the Uadi
cals in Louisiana. It doubtless goes
upon the idea that “it takes a thief to
catch a thief.”
The same paper above quoted from,
in speaking of the prospects of the
Radical party in Georgia, says : “Rut
in the present weakeued and dispirited
condition of our own forces, about all
we can do in Georgia is to encourage
the Independent movement that is sure
ly disintegrating the solid white vote
•of the State, and that promises speedi
ly to give us the balance of power Our
•support will be sought, and we shall be
able to exact honest terms from those
seeking it, and in part recover, and la
ter, it may be, fully recover what we
have lost in the last ten years.”
The above needs no comment. These
views of the leading Radical organ in
<Georgia are embraced by the body ot
leading Republicans at the North
well as the Sonth No wonder we hear
oo denunciations of this party from In
dependent candidates for Congress.—
They feel the need of support from the
‘•Rads/’ fox what encouragement they
receive from the virtue and intelligence
of the country can never insure their
success.
—
Mu. Stephens, in his letter of
acceptance, expressed great gratifi
cation on account of his nomination
at Thomson. Yet we are told by
some, who doubtless wish him to
run independent that he did not
want the nomination.
This i6 the first timo wo ever
hoard of a man’s being gratified to
get what ho did not want.
The Yellow fover is assuming
an alarming aspect in the Missis
sippi Valley. In Now Orleans it
is on the increase. Grenada and
other towns are suffering immense
ly from tho scourge. It has reached
Canton, Miss,, and has resulted in
almost completely depopulating
that city. It seems that it is al
ready an epidemic in Memphis.—
There appears to be no final relief
from such an epidemic until frost;
which will prolong the fatal pesti
lence in some sections till about

Letter from New York.
Dampen, N. Y., Aug. 17, 1878.
Dear Herald, —I believe I promis
ed before leaving home, to write you a
let tor or two during my absence. I
am almost sorry that I made such a
rash promiso, because I have beeu ou
the go so much, and have seen so many
strangs things, and have had such a
good time generally, that anything that
savors at all of work goes decidedly
against the grain. Rut I will give you
a short account of my trip, anyhow,
which your readers may take for what
it is worth.
1 left Grecncsboro'. you know, in
company with Mr. and Mrs. Conklin
Rrown, and hid the pleasure of their
company nearly all of the way. Noth
ing unusual occurred until we took the
steamer “Clyde” at Charleston, Wed
nesday evening at (j o'clock. We did
not stand out on deck and weep and
wave our handkerchiefs at the friends
on shore, as is customary, because it
was raining furiously, and, besides, we
didn't have any big amount of friends
on shore to wavo at, that we knew of.
Sailors say, when there is a severe wind
at sea. that it blows “great guns - ''
Measuring the wind by the same stan
dard, I should say it was blowing about
a Colt's Repeater when wo sailed out
of Charleston harbor. Everything
worked smoothly until wo crossed the
Bar , when the boat begau to get quite
rostless and went to work at her regu
lar see-saw motion. About this time
supper was announced. People who
have had any experience in this line,
know that meal time is the most favor
able to sea-sickness, Thoso who have
been well of it for a day or two, fre
quently, can't go to a meal on board a
vessel. I had made up my mind not to
get sick, however, and so I went down
with a bold heart, a strong appetite and
took my seat at the table with the oth
er passengers. We hadn't asked the
blessing before a lady sitting opposite
said “Oh !" and went off. Then an
old man observed “Hello!" and de
parted. One by one they left, and T
smiled at each departure. I was sorry
for this in a few minutes afterwards.
I bad manage! to cat a good meal, and
was just leaving the table when it sud
denly took charge of me. I made for
the deck aud wrapped myself around
the railing of the ship and cast my
bread upon the waters. Tho spell last
ed mo only a short while and I enjoyed
the balance of the trip very much. The
sensation of sea-sickness is very simi
lar, I imagine, to the feeling of a per
son who has just been on a big drunk.
Some of your readers know how that
is. Mrs, Rrown was quite sick for two
days. Mr. Rrown escaped without in
jury, at all. Our three day's trip on
the ocean was very lazy and monoto
nous —nothing to do but watch the
white capped waves, or read, or talk
and smoke, or sleep. There's no going
down town nor walking out to look
over the crops, nor that feeling of free
dom that a man feels on land. You are
in prison for the time being, aud you
feel it. We did amuse ourselves watch
ing the mate of the ship fishing. It is
excellent sport. He ties aline which
is abjut 200 yards long, to the stern of
the boat and takes the other end of the
line to which is attached a large hook, and
throws it out in the water. It floats
behind the ship and is left there to
catch a fish. The mate very kiudly
told me that I could watch it for him
one day, but I declined. They call it
‘‘trowing” for fish, and it is fine sport,
the only difficulty about it being that
they never catch anything except a few
sea-weed—at least, there was only one
fish caught during those three days.
We arrived at New York Saturday
evening, the ?>rd inst., aod remained
there until the following Tuesday.—
Sunday it rained all day, aod Monday,
under the guidance of Mr. Rrown, I
took in as much of the City as one well
can in a day. I stopped at the “Astor
House,” while thore, because it was
kept on the European plan, aid I fan
cied I should like that. There is a
Restaurant connected with the hotel,
and I took my first meal there. When
the damage was done I asked for the
bill, the waiter laid this before me :
1 Reefstcnk, 50cts,
Cup Coffee, 25cts,
Rread, 15cts,
Total, OOcts
That looks like a small supper, but I
suppose they were short of fund*. Af
ter that I took my meals on the Ameri
can 3tyle. I priced one or two little
articles that I desired to purchase, in
some stores, but they were kept on the
European plan and I didn’t purchase.
On Monday, however, when Mr, Rrown
was with me, I fouud things cheap
enough, for he knew where to go.—
Tuesday moruing we took the boat on
the Hudson, and hero I was particu
larly lucky in being with Mr. and Mrs.
Rrown, lor they knew every point of
interest on the river, which added
greatly to the pleasure of the trip,—
That evening we landed at Hudson,
and the next morning went out about
30 miles into the country. Here we
speDt several days as pleasantly as one
could desire. It is in extreme Eastern
New York, and a very mountainous
country, but as fertile as can be, The
hill-sides never wash, and hence you
see crops on mountain sides that are al
most perpendicular. The people there
are prosperous, hard-working farmers.
They suffered note of the hardships,
misfortunes and troubles of the late war,
as we did, and consequently have lost
none of their hospitality. Those whom
I met and with whom I staid while
there, are high types of the best citi
zens our country affords. 'Tis true,
some of them are radicals, but a radical
here is a different animal altogether
from what he is down our way. These
men, in our State, would be Democrats.
I will not close this letter before tell
ing you of a (to me) very strange sect
of peoole who live near Canaan, tne
place 1 was stopping at. They are
called the “Shakers.” We went over
to Lebanon, (which, by the way, is
the birth place of Daniel Drew, the
great speculator, and Samuel Tilden,
the great coward,) and near there we
found this clan of strange beings. They
have a religion of their own, a Bible
of their own and customs of their owe.
There is no marriage there nor giving
in marriage. A person would natur
ally suppose that they would soon play
out at this rate, but not so. There are
constantly new converts coming in from
tho outside world. They have two
covenants, and anew comer must sign
ono or the other. Tho one requires
him to place his property under the
control of the officers who govern the
elan, and allows him to draw it out if
he sees fit to leave them. The other
is the same, only you can never draw
out what you have once put in. Strange
to say, most of tho converts sign the
latter. I was told by several persons who
are well acquainted with the‘Shake s,’
that they £have known men to join
them and deposit 830,000 or 840,000,
never to see it again. That and icsn’t
look like human nature, does it? Aud
then they can’t sic down there and do
nothing, no matter if they have put a
mint into the business. They have got
to go to work, and do such work as is
assigned them. They have factories,
farms, store houses, school houses, ev
erything that a people need, aud they
are thrifty and fat. They are divided
off iulo what are called families, fifty
or a hundred frequently being in a
family. Here I saw the biggest barn
I ever laid eyas on before. It is 200
feet long, 50 feet wide and 05 high. It
is three stories high, and they drive in
the upper story, where the hay is emp
tied and shoved below. The ground
lloor is for cattle, with every conve
nience. These folks claim that Christ
has already appeared the second time,
in person of oue Ann Lee, who came
over to this country about the first of
this Century and brought about 50 or
100 followers with her. They settled
over there aud established this religion.
They still worship Miss Ann, who they
think is fixing up things in Heaven for
them; but outsiders over there say
that she was not a very good type of a
Saviour. Tradition tells us that Ann
was in the frequent habit of taking in
too much red egc, and that she would
get gloriously drunk and wallow around
in the streets and act in a manner ve
ry unbecoming one in her position.—
She had to be arrested by the county
authorities frequently. Ann said she
was merely vomiting up the sius of her
people. I dou’t suppose it occurred to
her that lobelia would fix up that part
of it as well as whisky. Their dress is
singular, too. The men wear broad
brimmed hats, frocks instead of coats,
and long hair. The women have tight
bodies to their dresses, and just let the
skirts sca.tter out, like the old sa-bjoD
They wear these old shaker bonnets—
they make them. They are peaceable,
good citizens, and attend strictly to
their own business. I didn’t have an
opportunity to attend services at their
Church.
We left Canaan Saturday tho 3d inst.,
and I arrived in Camden that evening
at 2{ o’clock. In my next letter, I
shall tell you something about this
place, etc. Z.

[Special correspondence of the Hejiald']
CONFUSION IN TIIE PARTY.
A TIME FOR HARMONY AND
UNION
THE RULE OF LITTLE MEN
AT AN END.
Atlanta, Wednesday Aug. 28
I Lave just returned from the
congressional conven ion of the
Fourth District which met in Col
umbus last Wednesday, and stayed
thero until its noisy adjournment
Saturday night or rather Sunday
morning. After witnessing this
remarkable Convention, I am more
convinced than ever that the Demo
cratic party in Georgia is in danger
of disruption and disorganization.
There were two parties there who
fought each other with all the bitter
ness and power they could command.—
Eighteen delegates came there in
structed for Mr. H. It. Harris,
the present Congressman sixteen
were opposed to him and demand
ing a change. The mouth of one
faction was “Harris or nobody
that of the other was “anybody
but Harris.” I believe neither
faction thought so much of the good
of tho party as of their own spleen
and prejudice. Thero were some
wild scenes and some bitter words.
Three hundred and seventy ballots
were had without u result. Har
ris lost two-thirds of one vote but
the rest stuck to him on every bal
lot. 'The opposition proposed a
dozen names in a spirit of compro
mise; but tho Harris inon were al
ways stubborn and refused all
compromise. It was evident from
the state that nobody could be
nominated. It required 22s votes
to make tho requisite two-thirds,
and while Harris could never get
it his friends could prevent any
body else from getting it, and they
did so.
Saturday night there were scene3
of hubbub and confusion worthy
of a negro powwow. The outside
crow’d joined in the disgraceful
confusion and sent up their propor
tion of yells and scroacns. Fierce
denunciations of ono faction by
the other were the order of the oc
casion, and there wa9 enough fe
rocity to animate a dozen mobs.
The Harris men saw they wero
losing ground and passed a motion
to adjourn to Nownan to t:ie-
Fourth Tuesday in September.—
After all sorts offillibu? tering and
wire pulling together with partial
rulings by the chair the motion
was caried by two-thirds of one
vote and in a scene worthy of Bed
lam, the convention of the great
Democratic party adjourned. At
Newnan it will be no better. Mr.
Harris’ plan seems to be to prevent
a nomination and to como out a
few days before the election as au
independent. lie has the wires so
well laid that he will probably get
in. I write these things not.know
ing whether in themselves they
will interest many of your readers
but they must bo of moment to ail
Democrats as showing the influen
ces at work’to ruin the party in our
state. A few more such conven
tions and there will be no Demo
cratic party in Georgia. Mon who
become embittered against each
other in such broils will go almost
any length to defeat each other's
plan. Some people have an idea
that we are all Democrats now and
that these little fusses do not
amount to anything. The discov
ery of their mistake may come too
late. Two years hence the party
is to make a fight in the national
election on which the hopes of the
whole nation hang. In a few
weeks we are to elect a Congress
which must solve the great money
question, either for tho benefit or
the ruin of our people. There
never was a time when we needed
harmony more or had less of it.—
In nearly every district in Georgia
wc are threatened with independent
candidates, and In some quarters
they are developing alarming
strength. Now we see conventions
split, and the party endangered
for purely personal prejudice.—
The wholo party should rise up
and frown down forever all such,
miserable policy. If we allow
such petty passions to snatch the
prize from us just as it is in reach
we deserve to lose it. The fact is
little men have ruled Georgia since
the war and it is time to throw
them overboard. We have two
rnauy little men in Congress.—
Let’s clear out and start over tak
ing care to put back every good
man we havo there now. It is
time for men of brain and power to
come to the front. The day of ex
pediency is past. Pigmcs have rid
den into power on that hobby but
its wooden legs are broken and the
great and true men rise up in
their native majesty and demand
our confidence. The South never
needs ability at Washington more
than it does now. We have some
giants there. Let us send more.
The whole peeple should join to
gether to teach little politicians
that their days is past and that
hereafter t we will go by the good
rule of the fathers who honored in
tellect, integrity and worth. The
sooner the lesson is learned the
better for the people—the worse
for politicaljmountebanks.

Mr. Editor, — L suppose that both
you and your readers have heard that
every one has his ’fathers.” Well, I
have mine, aud by your permission I
will publish a few of them aud see what
may be said about them.
I’d rather be a Christian than any
other man.
I'd rather be President than wrong.
I’d rather be poor with aa easy con
science, than rich and forever troubled
with the reflection that what I possess
ed was dishonestly obtained.
I’d rather be an old maid’s parro
than a poor uiau’s daughter, carrying
all my father’s earnings oir my back,
I’d 'rather be a full-grown, black,
bob- tailed dog and bay the moon, than
a worthless loafer, getting my living by
sponging on other folks.
I’d rather be an honest laborer, a
plow-mau or mechanic, earning my
bread by the sweat of my face, than a
swelling young professional with but
little practice and less brains.
I’d rather be a bob-tailed bull, with
thin skiu, in fly-time, than a broken
down Radical-seeking office from the
Democratic party.
I’d rather be a pet monkey and take
in nickels for an organ-grinder, than a
fawning sycophaut, trotting alter, prais
ing and aping bit/ men
I'd rather be a boot-black, than a
boot-lick.
