THE CAMPAIGN IN 1876.
To those who are at all in the habit of
reflecting, the Presidential campaign
next year is a subject of great impor
tance. It will be the great test of
strength between the two parties into
which the politics of this country is di
vided. Political tactics will be of the
most intricate nature. It will require
the nicest diplomacy to turn the scales
cither way. It will be, beyond all
doubt, one of the most hotly contested
elections ever held in this country for
President The popular mind is in just
that state or condition, that a single
word or sentence indiscreetly uttered in
the heat of discussion by prominent poli
ticians, may turn the tide of popular
feeling either way. Of course, this is
more particularly so at the North, where
the two parties are more evenly balanced.
Here in the South the intelligence and
respectability of the country was all one
way.
- The Republican party is on tho down
grade everywhere. Nothing but indis
cretion upon the part of Southern lead
ers will prevent its ultimate and utter
disintegration. This the leaders of that
party see and understand. Hence, it is
their policy to revive the sectional bit
terness that has existed between the
North and South, and thus create a ral
lying cry for a more thorough union of
the Northern people against the rebel
lious spirit of the South. Every word
of- denunciation hurled against their
leaders in the late war is regarded by
tbpm os an insult to Northern patriotism
in prosecuting the war. The people there
may not like Grant’s administration, but
the moment he is denounced, the popular
sentiment unites in his vindication as
ours would be united in the vindication
of Robert E. Lee’s memory.
Tho legislation of the late Congress
has been with a view to this Southern ir
ritation and to produce conflict in order
to create capital for the campaign of next
year. That was the object of the civil
rights bill and the force bill. These
were intended for political purposes. The
discussion of them in Congress was char
acterized by intense bitterness. Upon
j£a whole, our Southern representatives
mot these issues and misrepresentations
of their constituents with discreet cool
ness, and were not drawn into the irrita
ting discussions to the extent of sectional
denunciations. A fow indiscreet passa
ges were made on the part of one or two
, Southerners in the course of debate, and
we see how quickly these havo been turn
ed against us at the North—reviving, to
some extent, the bitter asperities engen
dered by the late war and kept alive so
long by political tricksters who had no
other capital.
We refer briefly to these things to
show our friends how easily it is for
indiscreet Southern politicians to
thwart and defeat the ends whioh
we nre all particularly aiming at, by
intemperate and unguarded language.
Whatever we may mean by our ex
pressions they are differently construed
at the North and grossly perverted by
our enemies and afford to them the
stick with w^ich to crack our own heads.
Our Democratic friends there who are
struggling to restore to us and to the
whole country the rights of free gov
ernment and to perpetuate it, have
these false issues to meet—false as they
are presented by our enemies to the
masses. The impressions made by
them are difficult to remove from the
popular mind, who, like ourselves, see
all questions of a sectional nature from
one stand-point, and that is from our
own side of the line.
There is scarcely a man North who
does not honor Grant and his generals
personally for subduing the so-called
rebellion, however much he may dis
agree with them politically. Here is
the great danger to us in the prosecu
tion of the next Presidential contest,
It was our ruin in 1872. Our policy,
then, is not to assail Grant personally
at the South. It may do at the North
by those who sustained him in the
war. We should make the issue one of
assailing the measures of the Republi
can party and its usurpations upon
public liberty. The appeal should go
out to t'.«e people of all sections for the
restoration of good government and the
perpetuity of civil liberty. Our lan
guage should be that of conciliation,
though there may be every cause for
the most embittered expressions.
What we want is Democratic votes
—to place at the head of the govern
ment a party that will remove the as
perities of the past and give justice to
all sections. Our true course at the
South is manly dignity and a fiim ad
herence to correct principles. Wo have
too much to lose in childlike discussions
of n personal character toward a lead
ing man of the opposite party. Let
them indulge in these, and while they
do so, our course will he dignified and
manly and addressed to the popular
reason of all sections. Truth is what
we must vindicate, and in its vindica
tion act liko men too exalted to indulge
in the clap-trap of personal vitupera
tion.
These are the principles upon which
we must endeavor to shape, os far as wo
possibly can at the South, the issues of
the next Presidential campaign. Upon
this line we will scarcely fail of success.
MEETING OF Clt\ BONDHOLDERS,
About $200,000 of the city bonds
were represent* d^ntT the meeting yes
terday. The mayor and city council
submitted the following proposition,
viz.:
1. That we will pay to the holders
of Rome city bonds the amount ac
tually paid by the holders thereof for
the said bonds.
2. That all past due interest on said
bonds for 1874 and to include April 1,
1875, the coupons to bear 7 per cent
interest from the time they fall due, to
be funded in new bonds.
3. That in full settlement of the
debt upon tho above terms tho city of
Romo issue to holders of her old bonds
a series of new bonds to he issued un
der an act of the Legislature approved
February 17,1875, authorizing a com,
promise of the Rome city debt. Twen
ty-five per cent, of the new bonds to be
made due and payable in ten years
twenty-five per cent, in fifteen, and the
balance in twenty years from date of
issue—the whole hearing interest at 7
per cent, per annum, payable semi'
annually. Said interest to bo due and
payable on first day of April and
October each year.
4. That one per cent, or bo much
thereof as may he necessary shall be lev
ied each and every year to pay the in
terest on the new bonds and to create a
sinking fund for tho first payments of
said bonds.
This proposition of the "city fathers,
is as liberal as can possibly he complied
with by tlio tax-payers, and, as it gunr)
antees to tho bondholders all the money
they have actually invested and 7 per
cent, interest from tho time of investment,
they will not be essentially losers by the
entire transaction.
It should bo homo in mind that one-
half of the four hundred thousand dol-
lars bonded debt of our city is a dead
loss to Rome, and it will not be wrong
for the bondholders to consider our loss
es and our disability to pay the entire
debt as it now stands. Good feeling pro
vailed in the meeting and liberality oti
both sides was exhibited. We hope good
will come of it.
MICHIGAN’S NEW SENATOR.
In tho Senate, on the 12th there was
considerable curiosity to get an expres
sion of opinion from the members of
the Senate in regard to Louisiana af
fairs ; and when it was understood that
Michigan’s late supremo court judge,
Senator Christiancy, was to address the
Senate, expectation was aroused. A
special dispatch to the Atlanta Constitu
tion says that when—
“ Tho Senator began his remarks with
perfect coolness, and the manner in
which he handled his subject drovo
terror into the hearts of the Grantitcs.
When ho declared that it would take
several regiments toimposo upon Mich
igan such an imposition os the Kellogg
government, ana that there were not
soldiers enough in tho United States to
make them love it, it made the auditors
feel os if tho old constitutional days
were returning. Tho Senator lins been
congratulated extensively on his ad
mirable effort”
We have no-doubt but what the new
Senators aro much rooro conservative
than their predecessors. Senator Chris
tiancy was elected by a combination of
Democrats and conservative Republi
cans, and succeeds the notorious Zack
Chandler, who was so bitter and unre
lenting to the people of tho South. If
wise discretion is observed by tho
Democracy in Congress, especially in
the Senate, we feel confident that Mr.
Christiancy will be found an able ally
upon all vital questions affecting the
rights of the people of tho South.
AN AMERICAN CARDINAL.
Right Reverend John McCIoskey, of
New York, has been raised to the dig
nity of Cardinalato Arch-bishop of
New York. This is the first instance
in which such a distinction has been
made in America by the Pope, it being
the highest office within the gift of his
Holiness. Of course, the appointment
has created much joy in the Catholic
Church of this country, os it has been
leng desired that Archbishop McCIoskey
should be raised to this dignity—thus
recognizing on the part of the Pope the
fidelity of the Catholics of this country
to the Church. This will make Cardi
nal McClosky the head of the Church
in this country but will not necessitate
the appointment of a new Archbishop.
It oaly gives him additional title and
dignity, and without increasing his
jurisdiction or power.
Cardinal McClosky was born
Brooklyn in the year 1810. Ho reooived
a liberal education, and was ordained
1834. Ten years later Bishop
Hughes, whose house he now occupies,
made lym bishop of Axieren, and af
terwards was tranoferred to tho diocese
of Albany. He labored faithfully in
that see seventeen years before he was
installed as tho archbishop of New
York after the death of his warm friend,
Archbishop Hughes. This archdioceso
includes New York, New Jersey, and
all Now England
EX.GOV. BROWN ON OtIR BONDS.
We have seen arecent letter from Ex-
Governor Joseph E. Brown in which he
states that ho is owner of considerable
amount of the Rome city bonds. Ho
has oxaminod tho reoent law authori
zing, the city authorities to compromise
tho bonded debt and he deems it ade
quate to protect the bondholders. He
expresses bis willingness to take what
he actually paid for the original bonds,
to be paid in the proposed new bonds
at 7 per cent interest and allow them to
run twenty years, if deemed necessary,
His brother, James R. Brown, will do
the same, and wo aro informed that
Frank Miller, of Augusta, who controls
a largo amount of these bonds, is will
ing to compromise on the same terms.
We regard this as an equitable basis
for both parties and we hope the com
promise will be effected.
John Mitch el has been elected to the
British Parliament by men of Tippera
ry, by a vote of 3,114 to 086 for Moore
conservative. Disrcali will, of course,
move to keep Mitchcl from taking his
his seat as before. In that oventthe men
of Tipperary should re-elect him for a
third time and continue to return him
until tho British Government is forced
to recognize him. There is an example
iq English history where such an event
occutred before.
Mr. Stephens’ vote on the Louisiana
resolutions, so bitterly assailed recent
ly, is growing into favor, as the real
state of the case becomes known. The
Iticmond Dispatch, alluding to the con
troversy, pithily says: “Old Alex, is al
most sure to be right on usch ques
tions.” There arc a great’ many peo
pie who are apt to go off “half coked,
and say things to lie regretted even by

HE ROME COURIER]
PUBLISHED
The Oldest Paperjn Cherokee
Georgia.
Tho I.argcet Circulation,
The Courier is the oldest paper pub
lislied in Cherokee Georgia—it having
been published 31 years, twenty ot
them by the present Proprietor. During
this long period, the influence of The
Courier has been directed ;to the end
of promoting the great interests of this
section of the State—sparing neither
pains or expense in doing all it could
to advance the same. The result is
that its career has been prosperous and
its influence very decided in the discus
sion of all questions involving the in.
torests of the people and of the country
As in the past, so shall the influence
and labors of The Courier be in the
futuro—never swerving from the advo
cacy and maintenance of all measures
looking to the development of Cherokee
Georgia and the interests of the people
thereof.
Its Politics.
In politics, The Courier shall, as al
ways, bo firm, but conservative and
respectful to those who may differ with
its views; but, in defense of the hon
or of the people and of their rights it
will be neither laggard in or indiffer
ent to the maintenance of these) In a
word, The Courier, polilicall , is an-
advocate and defender of the masses,
the hard-working people, whether mer
chants, professional men, tillers of tho
soil, mechanics or laborers. To these
we look for support in tho maintenance
of tho right.
Its Circulation.
Perhaps, there is no paper in Chero
kee Georgia that has a finer circulation
among the people who trade at Romo
than The Coubieii, Its circulation is
the result of constant and industrious
efforts to placo it in the hands of it
home people—those whose chief mar
ket it represents, the City of Rome.
As an Advertising Medium.
In this respect it offers superior ad
vantages, such as is enjoyed by lew
papers in the South, and published in
a town of no greater population—thus
giving all who wish to trade from the
surrounding country a splendid and
unparalled opportunity to make their
business known though its columns
—the paper permeating, in its influence
as it does, the whole of this section of
country—going in large packages to
every county, to the various post-offices
within a circuit of fifty miles around
Rome, both in Georgia and Alabama-
Hates for Advertising.
The advertising rates of The Courier
are very liberal considering its large
circulation throughout this soction ol
country. Merchants and business men
desiring to keep themselves constantly
known to the people will find The
Courier a splendid medium at very
reasonable rates.

Our Purpose.
We desire to extend the usefulness
of The Courier by an increase of it®

By such aid wo hope to mako this oti

The Time to Subscribe.
Now is a very good time of the ye» r
