We publinli in to-dny’s Banner, a let
ter fr«ni Copt. James H. EFontfu, accep
ting the nomination fur Representative,
tendered him Ly the Democracy of
Rroukß county, —in wlich he also takes
occasion to briefly allude to his < flkial
career whilst in Atlants, and unequivo
cally ditines bis political status—which,
as every one knows, is undeviatingly
Democratic. As to tils record whilst s
member of the late Legislature, we pre
sume noig: will object: it is that of a
clear beaded, thought fa I, judicious and
conservative statesman. He has cer
tainly served his constituents faithfully,
end we teel satisfied, that if certain
measures in which our citizens arc in*
tereated, failed to become law, the fail
ure cannot be attributed to any lack of
energy or vigilance on the part of Oapt.
Hun Ur. Read his letter carefully; it is
■ plain, candid, social talk with the peo
ple.
The u Do| Low.’’
A strong iffort was made at the re
cent session of the Legislature to enact
• lew ,to be of force throughout the State,
for the encouragement of the growth ol
wool. It was a judicious measure, and
we are surprised that it mot with in
tense opposition. The policy was to
decrease the number of worthless dogs,
by sssi saing a tax on tlio < wiiera of the
same. Members of both houses, fearful
that snch a measure would dam age their
influence with constituents, waged a
gsinst the measure hitter opposition;
and the best that could be done was the
passage of a local hill for the counties
of Hancock, Terrell and Rrooks, taxing
the owners of all dogs, except widows,
our dollar per head, and applying the
proceeds thereof to educational purposes.
Thfa bill passed both Houhcr, and onr
eateeined and efficient representative,
Capt. Hunter, left Atlanta with thn im
pression, that thn officers of the General
Assembly had discharged their doty, mid
that the three counties designated would,
in future, lie enabled to raise sheep with
some degree of safety ; hut, wo arc in
formed by an Atlanta Correspondent, of
the Savannah Nr.us, that the Speaker of
the House of Representatives failed to
sign the bill bolore he left the Capital,
and beurc it failed to become a luw.
. Vrllilrreßcr.
The political campaign is waxing
warm, and fistienfi* are the order of the
day. A dispatch from Louisville on the
3d, (the day previous to the straight
out Convention,) a tight occurred in the
rotunda of the'Galt House between Col".
Blanton Dunr.au and Dr. Keller The
difficulty grew out of a political conver
s.tion. Dttucan declared he had been
i.Acred half a million by tho (Jreclcy
party to break up the Louisville straight
out Convention. Gen. Custer, to whom
the remark was addressed, responded
that the other party most have offered
more; that fie could provu that Duncan
hud said that the whole thing was a 1
hueguin and sale, and if he was to be
BoM he would sell to tho party that!
would pay the best price. Duncan re
upeudsd that Custer’s informant was a !
liar. Dr. Kellar responded : “I am
responsible for the statement,” and de
mandril a retraction. Duncan refused,
when Kellar struck him violently in the
face. Duncan reeled hut did not full, i
catching by a chair, with which he at
tempted to strike Dr. Ketlar. Several
blows passed, when tho parties were
separated.
Again, to Washington city, on the
3d, one of the President's household as
saulted an editor, oa account of an arti
cle in the Capital of the day previous.
Tim parties were Judge Louis Dent and
a Mr. Rued. But little damage was
dons.
We refer to these events solely as ev
ident* of the probable bitterness of the
psouußt campaign, and they sbonld
verve us a warning to politicians against
giving rein to .the angry passion and
resentments engendered heat of |
psrt’tan strife.
County Affairs.
Various rumors having gained cre
dence in ttd* county, which are detri
mental to the official conduct of the dts
tingni-hed gentleman who presides over
our County Court, wo recently consti
toted ourself a Committee of one, and
marie an investigation of the same, and
are happy to announce that the adminis
tration of the'•(T.iirs of this county by-
Judge Harden, is entirely satisfactory to
us, and will eventually prove so to Un
people,
One report prevailing, is that the
Connty Ccnrt, instead of curtailing ex
pens* a, will vastly enhance the expend!
tures of the county. Sufficient time has
not etaperd to demonstrate the truth or
falsity of this snpposition; but Die indi
cations arc that the establishment of this
Oonrt will prove advantageous to the
county in a financial aspect. Take, for
instance, the jail expenses: previous to
the organization of this Court, they
amounted to from $250 to S4OO for every
six months—and dining tho four months
tl*e County Court has been in existence,
the jail fees have been only two dollars
and sevrnty*!ive cents. This is, of it
self, a considerable saving.
Another report to which wc desire to
allude, is the expense attending the ta
ilors of the Committee appointed to in
vestigate the i &ot and present financial
condition of the county. Tt is said that
the labor to be peth rmed by this com
mittee will cost tbc county several hun
dred dollars. Well, If such should prove
the case, censure must rest upon the
Grand Jury and not tl c Connty Judge
For it was a former Grand Jury that
recommended the appointment of the
investigating committee, and as will h<-
observed by the following < fficial order
appointing the committee, it will devolve
upon a fntnrc Grand Jury to the
amount to be paid for its services :

(•rent Loan of Life
The steamer Metis, of the Newport
line, running between New York and
Providence, at 4 o'clock on the morning
ol Ftiday last, was struck by a schooner
when about six miles from Watch Hill
Rhode Taliiud, and foundered almost im
mediately. The Baltimore Gazette says
tie night waadnik and stormy. The
passengers, one hundred and fifty souls
in all, were asleep in their berths. The
first intimation of danger that reached
them was a slight shock, not sufficient
to awaken llu-m to a sense if their-peril;
for we read that as the boat was discov
ered to he sinking, and only then, the
passengers were aroused and warned to
secure life preservers. It was too late.
A large uomber of those on hoard, how
ever, had time to climb to tho uppor deck,
which parted from the bull, and four
hours afterwards struck the shore. Oth
cr passengeis were taken off hy tho two
j lit** boats; but, judging from the only one
; of those boats that has yet been heard
| from, and which, according t<> the tele
gram receive!, contained but six per
sons, tbosc saved by this means were
| very few. From tho confused 'reports
(which have reached us thus far, we gath
er that from fifty to seventy-five of those
who took passage on the Metis, and were
i rooa'-d on that disastrous Friday morn
ing to lace in the midst of a heavy storm
a sudden and frightful pctil, perished
with tbo parting of the upper deck from
the hull, or were washed off the lortner
in the ton.; lour hours it slowly floated
toward the shore. It was one of tiie
most appalling accidents that has hap
pencil recently on our coast. Who ia to
blame for its occurrence cannot be ascer
tained at prtseut; but the fact tbnt the
captaiu refuged to leave the steamer and
enter the life-boat, speaks well tor his
courage si and his stnse of duty.
The last session of the Legislature
passed four hundred and six acta and
tbiriy-lour resolutions.
Capt- Hunter’s Letter of Accep
tance.
Tv the People of Brooke Covnty:
Having been notified that at the Dem
ocratic Convention that assembled at
Quitman, on the first Tuesday in Angnat
last past, I had received thn nomination
for re-election to the position of Rcpro
! sentntive in the State Legislature, it is,
perhaps, proper that I should duly ac
knowledge this very flattering manifes
tation of the continuance of your confi
dence, and of the endorsement yon there
by gave to tbc faithful manner that 1
have endeavored to discharge the trust
heretofore confided to me.
In accepting the nomination tints ten
dered me, permit me to offer my grate
ful and heartfelt thank*, and to assure
you that, if elected, I shall continue, as
1 have throughout my brief Legislative
career, to guard with a watchful and
jealous eye, not only all the matters of
(.local intercut to my constituents, hot al
| so to the best of my feeble ability all the
| great State interests that may c me tie
| fore me. If you have not bad an able
! Representative in me, I think I may gay,
I without arrogance or vanity, that you
| have bad a faithful arid vigilant one.
j And I believe this will bo borne witness
to by a large majority of tbc Legisla
tors with whom I have labored (he past
two sessions.
It is dne to you tlial a candidate for
your suffrages, {c#pecia!'y for a seat in
thn General Assembly,) should clearly
and unequivocally define his position.
A tid not to 'cave yon in doubt in re
gard to myself, I will say that be
, in future tire same unswerving, unflineb
i ing Democrat I have been in the past.
I I shall support, with all the zeal anti en
ergy I possess, for re-election, our pres
ent honest, faithful ‘and efficient Gov
ernor, James M. Smith, and do all in my
power to secure his success; and with |
him I shall use all honoiable no nns in j
my power to elect the Democratic can
didate for Congress in this District, tak
ing it for granted, the mantle of the par-1
ly will fall upon one worthy to wear it.
At the same time, I consider it a patri
otic duly to support for the Presidency
Horace Greeley. And although 1 can
not bring the same heartiness and zeal
t>> the support of our Presidential candi
dates that I do to our State ticket, still
I will do my duty cheerfully.
In giving an account of my past
stewardship, I will only allude to a very
few matters of general interest, in which
I took an active part. I voted to sna- (
tain and ratify the lease of the Western !
A Atlantic Unad; and I was forced to I
this hy the evidence, to which I most re
spectfully ri fer you. And I voted to
refuse the payment of the millions of
fraudulent and illegal bends of the Slate,
that note issued by Bullock withnot
authority of law, and negotiated by him
and his thieving confederates, and b>r
which the Stale never received a dollar's
bemfit. And for the extension of the!
Atlantic & Golf Railroad, I worked with
all the power, mind, aidor sod ability I i
possessed, and I think by my efforts I !
Contributed an humble piart to the paa- 1
sage of that measure through the Is-gis- l
lature. And though this scheme failed
of success, hy reason of tho Governor 1
having il uhts about its constitutional!- j
tv, still I hope that the next Legislature j
will he able to steer clear of constitution- j
al difficulties, and it will yet lie a grand ;
success. I will not stop to speak of tl c i
advantages of thia magnificent enter- j
prise, not only for South and Southwest
Georgia, but to the entire State, as I j
presume all ia well understood by every ;
citizen of Southern Georgia.
I find, on reaching home, that I have
a formidable cm pi titor in thn field in
the person of Mr. K. C. Wade. This
■ gcntli man declares himself an it depen -
| dent candidate, but does not put hi* cm
! didacy upon the ground of anything an
j fair or u> just in the nomination. I ap
prehend nothing of this sort existed.
' Ho, while ignoring live and vital qncs
-1 lions, attempts to make two false issues,
| that are practically dead. Tfcju I cannot
I permit him to do. As before stated, 1
1 voted to sustain the State Road lease,
i This question is definitely settled. He I
: next “deprecates the attempt," made hy
the last Legislature, to re with
“the wise provisions of the State Homo
stead Law.” Now, if there was any se
rious attempt made by this lody to in
terfere with this law, I am not aware of
it. It is a part of the organio law ot '
our State, and every man who aspires
to Legislative bouars, ought to know
that it cannot be abrogated by a mere 1
legislative enactment, but only in the j
way prescribed by tbo Constitution it
self. Anil in doing this, the people are
brought to a diroot vote on the question 1
—and that after action l.y two-thirds of
two successive Legislature's. The last
Legislature took no action iu regard to
this.
I would bring tbe gentleman to the i
diiect and vital issues that nre before
tbe people. Whom, air, will you sup
port for President, Governor and Oou
gressf And it is currently reported
that. Cows A Cos., and other holders of
those fraudulent State botids.-before men-!
tinned, will spurs neither money nor !«- ’
bor (o control the next Legislature, in
order to get those bonds pnid. How do
yon stand. Colonel? Do yon say jay
them, or not? These arc things the peo
ple have a right to know. And if yoo
meet me in public discussion, I want to
ask 3'oti several other i|tn aliens. At
the same time 1 will frankly answer *ny
you propound.
In conclusion, I would say to the col
ored people : You are wrong in sup
posing that I am your enemy. Any
measure that will serve to benefit and
elevate yonr race, I will cheerfully sup
port. For I feel that by so doing 1 will
work a substantial and lusting benefit
to the people of rny own color. Any
thing that will aerve to letter prepare
you for good citizenship, works good tp
both races. But anything that is de
signed to provoke antagonism and hos
tility between ns, will work harm to
both; and any rnau, white or black, that
endeavors to array you against the white
people for the purpose of getting yout
votes watch him—he is your bitterest
enemy, and will betray you whenever it
is to his interest to do so,
I persuade myself that J now occupy
no doubtful or neutral ground; but 1
pledge myStlf, if eh cted, to wotk Silli
gently and faithfully "fora II my people,
as I hare tried to do in time past.
Very truly and respectfully, •
JAS. U. HUNTER.
County Treasurer.
Quitman, Ga., Sept. 4, 1872.
Editor of Quitman Hanna :
1 Dear Sir.—l perceive that lam an-
I nonneed a candidate for the office of
County Treasurer—and candor compel!*
rue to admit that I can hare no objection
whatever to accept of said position, pro
vided rny fellow-citizens of Brooks coun
ty, express a preference for me at the
proper lime. But, owing to the post
ponement of the election until January,
it is entirely too so'n tote annoying the
people with announcement of candi
dates for County officers. You will,
therefore, please discontinue the notice
at it) the Bannzr, and at the
prnjrer time 1 may appeal to the people
of the county for their suffrage for the j
position designated. At p-eseut the
election is too remote an event.
Very respectfully,
D. U. McNEIL.
[ Communicated.l
Mr Editor: —The Grand Jury of
Rinnan County at the May Term of the
Superior Court, 1872, in their General
•Presentments recommended that a tax of
one hundred per cent, for general coun
ty purpose's, and a tax of Jiie. per cent,
for a ijpecial pauper fund, be assessed on
the State tax of Brooke county, for the
ye»r 1872; making a total of one hundred
andjive per cent.
My sympathy for the people just at
this lime, and rny senao of duty as a
public officer, have given to me moment*
of considerable anxiety. I have deter
inim and. however, in view of the ravnges
of the caterpillar, and other disasters,
to make the tax as light this fall as I
possibly can; and now the bond hill has
Irecome a law, I am satjfficd that with
the sale of a tew thousand dollars of
them, 1 can lighten the burthen of taxa
tion, and give the peoplclwo more crops
to pay the county out of debt. I have
recently received several letteis from
New York, wanting to purchase these
bonds, I do not feel astonished that they j
will be in great demand, as three mil
liana of dollars worth of property, under
the.law, is bound for their redemption; j
and they are by the act, made free from
county and municipal tux, and diaw ten
i per cent, interest. Butter than any .rail
l mail stork, as there i* nothing to fear
from rival and competing lines. Fur the
.'information of the public, I that
: I have instructed o»r polite and courte
| ous Treasurer, Col. \V. A. Lane, to take
comity scrip for these bonds just the
same us U. S. Currency. 1 will redtem
every dollar of this county money as it
is called
These bonds will lie in the heed* of

| The Grannies do injustice} to Mr. Lin
i coin’s oicm<>:y in attributing to Mr. On e
| ley the originality of the prop sition to
pay slave holders for their slaves. In
I Ids message to Congress, March 6, 1862,
Mr. Lincoln say*:
i "I rcmjitmend the adoption of 4 joint
l resolution by your honorable bod es
which si a'l l>c substantially as follows:
' “ Hesotoed , That the United States

by such change of system."
Tlic-Prosidcnt nrgt j the ndopiion ol
