Hon. John W. Wofford.
He Gives His Views on tile Situation.
Cartersville, Ga., April 12, ’75.
7i» the Editors of the Herald:
I have read with deep interest, your
account of an interview with Gen. Gor
don, and his views upon national poli
tics. So far us he goes, I agree with
him, but I do not think his platform
broad enough to hold all the elements
necessary to defeat Grant in 1876. For
that Grant will be the Republican can
didate for President next year, and that
lie means to be President, no one can
doubt, who has read aright the political
sign-board for the last twelve months.
Grant will not surrender.tho Presiden
tial office, unless his defeat is by a man
supported by tho people, and by the
ioyal people! with a heartiness that will
make the will of the country unmista
kable. The issue will have to be put
where the people will be with his suc
cessor, and when I say people, I mean
the people of both sections, or he will
take the chances of resistance.
That General Grant aud his immediate
followers do not intend to surrender the
control of the government to the Demo
cratic party without a struggle, and with
out the resort to means to prevent it bet li
fair and foul, I have no more doubt of,
than I have that the sun rises in the east.
And when we look at it from his stand
point it is not wholy unnatural; true, it
is selfish nature, not broad aud catholic
nature, but it is the nature with which
most of the world is most familiar.
That the Northern people should be
zealous in their care for the "Results of
the War,” ahd that they should be sus-
S icious of the Democratic party as guar-
ians of the rights secured by those
“Results,” aud doubtly so of the South
ern people, is nothing more nor less than
what ought to be expected. Therefore
any issue which puts in jeopardy those
“Resnlts,” secures a united North and
tho consequent success of the candidate
of that section. We now have the sem
blance of liberty, and the question for us
to decide is, whether it is worth more to
us to struggle over the questions of the
war settled and lose the semblance of
liberty left us, or unite our hearts and
hands with every lover of the'Constitu
tion and fight for its supremaoy. Mr.
Evans saiu truly
THAT THERE ARE NOT ONE HUNDRED MEN
in the Union who appreciate our near
ness to centralized government. There
is - hof ihuch'poweroutsidc of Washing
ton now; it cannot remain as it is. If
there is more power there, Gen. Grant
will be President by election or other
wise; if there is less, he will have been
so overwhelmingly defeated, that he
will surrender to his successor.
Nor can the day be won by asking
pay of the Confederate debt, nor pay
for the slaves the results of the war
freed. '
Nor can we do it by hoisting upon
our banners the name of a southern
Democrat, for' he is the head and front
of the offending against these cherished
results of the war. Gen. Gordon, in
declining to be a candidate, showed
both wisdom and patriotism.
I .But a pjatform framed in honest rec
ognition of the&o results of the war,
(results carved upon the history of the
country with the sword,) with the Con
stitution ahd liberty our watchcry, U
which shall bo added Eoopomy and
Honesty in tho administration of the
government,'headed by a man of re
cognized honesty and liberality of sen
timent. let him bo called Democrat or
Republican—one who loves libertv
more than party, the American peoph
will rally to him. This will make <i
common ground upon which every pa
triot can stand, and for which he will
fight. What we want is_security in the
results of .the war of 1876, and an hon
est administration of the government
of 1876.'
Without elaborating further, my con
clusion is, that the real battle, the only
fight worth the sacrifice, is yet to be
fought between liberty and centralism.
The friends of liberty can win the day
if they choose the right ground. It
can’t be done on the negro because he
is a voter, a witness, a citizen, the equal
of his white brother before the law, and
that is one of the results of tho war. It
can’t be done on the National debt, for
tho whole North, Democrats and Re
publicans, are interested in that; the
millions of gold interest annually paid
on it goes into their pockets. It can’t
bo done on the ponsionB to Union Sol
diers, for that is one of the results of
the war. It can’t be done on the con-
conititutional amendments, for they
are a part of the fundamental law, and
passed expressly to make secure the re
sults of the war. But we can say that
•‘appropriate legislation” means legisla
tion for tho benefit of all of the people,
THE CENTRALIST STRONGER THAN
SUPPOSED.
There are more people in this country
in favor of a stronger central government
than the Constitution provides for than is
generally known. There are various
causes for this, and different contingen
• • I JIn.iniall lllA nnrnW ftp.-
dread of attacks'upon the ualiouul debt
of tho people! m ‘d who sccut danger iu
the universal ballot, aud hope to the central
bayonet. And last, but not least,' come
the army officers, some of whom want
employmrnt, all of them places, some
opportunities for the business of their
calling, all manufactured at West Point,
that devilish institution which has done
the country great harm, and which will
do it much more, and which ought to be
abolished before another day passes, seo
more for themselves, in a government,
centered at Washington, than in the peo
ple scattered from tho Atlantic to the Pa
cific.
No political organization from the
inauguration of Wasington till now,
ever heaped upon itself the mountain
of infamy under which the Radical
party to-day staggers. And but for
the folly of the Democrats in forcing
issues that united the stronger section
against the weaker, it would have sunk
under it years ago.
The administrasion of General Grant
in the Southern States, tho class of per
sons as a rule, he has appointed to fill
places of trust and power, would have
damned any man before any people
where tho issue was fairly made of hon
esty and dishonesty. But the Villainy
of the Radicals has not availed the
Democrats, for as fast as tho Radicals-
acted the raseal, tho Democrats acted
the fool. -
Allow me to say in conclusion that
I do net write this because I think my
views of much value, but because I
think the country is in real peril, and
when that is so, it’s the duty of every
patriot to spoak.
John W. Wofford.

Earlier than passongore by any other cies increase or diminish the number ac
cording to circumstances. For instance
this class of persons have unfailing friends
in all those who believe any form of
monarchical government preferrable .to
that ruled by the populace. Then the in
subordination of the people, in some sec
tions to the law has given rise to another
class of centralists; this force increased
by all those who think the “results of the
war” cannot be as well preserved by the
people as by a strong central power; then
come the bondholders who arts in constant
Roport of the Wheat Crop.
Washington, April 20.—An investi
gation of the condition of the winter
wheatvby the statistic!l’division of the
department of agriculture, represents
the crop, as a whole, much below the
status of that of last year in April.
The northern belt was generally pro
tected by a covering of snow, leaving
the roots intact, though the tops might
be brown and lifeless. In places be
tween the thirty-sixth and fortieth par
allels of latitude tho protection was less
uniform, and the continuous freezing
and thawing in March were destructive
in the more exposed situations, and in-
jurous generally, in a greater or less de
gree. The injury is greatest in those
portions of Indiana; Httfiois. '•Missouri
and Kansas in which the drought pre
vented early planting and adequate
root development before the coming of
winter. In the are south of the thirty-
sixth parallel wheat is uninjured by
the frost, and vigorous, even luxuriant,
in some districts. The advantage of
drilling over broadcasting is in all sec
tions, unanimously asserted. In Cali
fornia the early sown is an assured
success; but that put in late is les3 vig
orous, and fears are entertained that
the prevailing north winds and abscenco
of the later fains may greatly reduce the
yield of thnt less advanced portion of
the crop. There is an apparent increase
of about seven per cent, in the area of.
winter wheat sown, amounting in round
numbers to a million and a half acres,
though that portion of winter-killed
and to be replanted in other crops,
may be equal in the West to the en
largement of planted area. The increase
is small in the middle States,considera
ble in Illinois and Missouri and propor
tionately largest in tho Gulf States and
in Kansas, reaching thirty per cent, in
tho Southwest.
Tiik Frost in Tennessee.—The Nash-
villo Banner says, after all, the report
ed damage by the late frosts.yi Middle
Tennessee turn out to have been some
what exagerated. The fruits, especially
the peaches, are doubtless considerably
curtailed by the untimely frost; but
the wheat crop is by no moans so
materially affected as was at first ap
prehended. A good deal of it was
planted late, and had not advanced
sufficiently to bo jointed and a very
large proportion of the crop was kept
back by grazing. With no further van
dalism on.the part of Jack Frost, the
wheat will yet open out finely in the
end. Tho indications at. present are
that we will now have settled warm
spring weather. At all events, tho veg
etation is not likely to be subjected to
so severe an ordeal as that it experienc
ed last week.

The Treasurer of Thomas county is

Rev James 8. Lamar has left Augus

In Hancock county a bureau was
carried a distance of nine miles by the

Mr. Jacob Waterman, a confidential

: The Thomasville Enterprise learns
that the cold snap on Saturday and
Sunday nights damaged cotton and
garden products. In some localities
cotton and’Irish potatoes ore reported
to have been killed.
The Irwinton Southerner says that in
Twiggs county it is estimated that there
has been an increase in the area of land
planted in corn of 15 per cent., and a
corresponding decrease in the area
planted in cotton.
Father Hamilton lias resigned. the
pastorship of the Columbus Catholic
Church. His intentions for the future
are unknown,- though it is probable
that he will sever his connection with
the Diocese of Georgia altogether. .
“The cow question” is being discuss
ed by the Augusta Constitutionalist. This
paper is in favor of giving the gentle
kine the freedom of the streets during
the summer months, but thinks the
owners should keep them up during
winter.
The Atlanta Herald says that strong
influences will be brought to bear on
the post-office situation. Conley’s com
mission has not yet been signed, the
President not being fully satisfied that
the people waiit a change. On the
contrary, Governor Bard’s reign has
been satisfactory, and his continuance
strongly desired.
The editor of the Thomasville EnJter-
pHse says: We learn that the cold
snap on Saturday and Sunday nights
damaged cotton and garden products.
In some localities cotton and Irish po
tatoes are reported to have been killed.
Where cotton was not killed outright,
it was seriously injured, and it is feared
that in many localities the stand will
be a bad one. The weather since Mon
day morning has been very fine, and
farm operations are being rapidly
pushed forward. Farmers consider
that their crop3 are from two weeks to
a month behind time.

A “Notable” in Trouble.—Ex-Gov.
Betts, of Idaho, who filled tho Guber
natorial chair by virtue of an appoint
ment from President Lincoln, has been
sojourning for the past few days at the
police barracks, having been arrested
in this city under advices from Au
gusta. It is stated that he _ became
somewhat mixed up with a nine hun

Augusta, of a character which render
ed his sudden disappearance advisable.
An officer from Augusta arrived^ here

Gen. Eli Warren.—Thegolden wed
ding of Gen. and Mrs. Eli Warren was

The reception is spoken of as perhaps
the largest and most pleasant that has
ever been given in that place. The
General was presented on the occasion
a beautiful and heavy gold headed cane
by his brother lawyers. The prosenta-^

ARTICLES OF COMPROMISE.
Heavy Verdict Against an Editor;
-A Chicago dispatch of the 21st inst.,
Ays:
- -.The jury in the case of Miss Allice A »
Early, of Rockford, Ill., against Wilber
F. Storey, editor of the Chicago Times,
for libel, in the publication of a story
nearly a year ago, in which Miss Early’s
character was assailed,-brought in a seal
ed verdict, winch was opened this morn
ing. It awards the plaintiff 825,000 dam
ages. The article on which the case waS
based was written under the belief that
the story was true, that several letters, af
firming its trutli and signed by the names
of prominent citizens of Rockford, hav
ing been sent to the Times. A retraction
was subsequently published, but proved
insufficient to satisfy the injured party,
who .resorted to legal means of redress,
with the above result.
Hope fou“Sammy.”—The Washing
ton correspondent of tho Baltimore Sun,
under date.ofFdiday, sends the foliow-
bU
Tho “unanimous” Sam Bard having
succeeded in obtaining an interview
with the President, expects now that
ho will be retained in the office of post
master at Atlanta, Georgia. The Presi
dent to-day directed the Postmaster
General to withhold the|commission of
Benjamin Conley, who was appointed
in the place of Mr. Bard, until the
sentiment of the Atlanta Republicans
can be ascertained.
In the Lynchburg (Va) News there is
an obituary notice of Mr. Charles Henry
Lynch, who.it is stated, was the grand
son of Charles Lynch, the originator of
the famous “lynch law,” The tree is
still standing in the yard of the family
homestead from which Judge Lynch’s
victims were suspended. This statement
is confirmed by the authority of Web
ster, who says “the term is derived
from a Virginia farmer named Lynch,
who thus took the law into his own
hands.”
Gen. Cowon, Assistant Secretary of
the Interior, and others officers of the
inteoior department, discredit the report
that the President has requested Sec
retary Delano to resign, and considers
it very improbable, in view of the fact
hatthe President and Delano are trav
eling together for pleasure.
The supreme court of Wisconsin gives
us a new idea of bribery. It has just
decided that “a promise of a candidate
to the voters at large to perform the du
ties of the office to which he aspires
non was - ,for less than the salary fixed by law,
the next in seniority to the General at 1 amounts to bribery, and all votes ob
the Perry bar. ' tamed thereby must be rejected.
