Now we are just Democratic enough
to despise any man or set of men, poor
or rioh who assume a superiority over
their fellows because of these things.
Contempt is too light and inexpressive
a word. If Christ can look down from
his seat at the right hand of the Father
and see a man in white kids and
broadcloth standing behind a counter,
or sitting behind a desk, or lounging
around the streets turning up his nose
at a farmer or laborer in plain home-
spun, and would acknowledge that He
died to save such a darn’d jackass, the
declaration would break down the
whole theory of the Christian religion,
and the Jews who crucified Him would
have a handsome majority.

“Who is the Demagogue?"
To the Editor of The Courier;
Your editorial in the last week’s
Courier on taxation is so just and true,
that we are at a loss to know who
the “ demagogue and fool” you refer to.
We want to know who the purse-proud
fool is that thinks, because he pays tax
on property, those who have no proper
ty are to be despised. Was it a fancy
text, invented for the occasion, or did
some ono really say it ? Please enlight
en us, that we may spot him.
Many Real Tax-Payers,
In Barker’s District.
The above is of sufficient importance
to command a ready answer. The text,
He represents no taxable property,”
was a quotation from the report of a
speech delivered by Dr. W. H. Felton,
in Cedartown, which we found in the
Cedartown Record. The charge was
used by that mouthing demagogue to
throw reproach upon the opinions of
some one of his political opponents
who did not represent as long a rent-
roll as that reverend gentleman. It is
in keeping with the general viewB of
Dr. Felton, who is as mentally and
morally incapable of one high-toned
liberal idea as he is ignorant of the first
principles of a sound political economy
and wise statesmanship. ^
FOR CONGRESS, 7th DISTRICT:
WILLIAM H. DABNEY.
See that your taxes for 1875, last year,
are paid by Wednesday, as no ono will
be allowed to vote who cannot show a re
ceipt.
If we have a Constitutional Convention
we hope they will insert a clause making
it a penal ofiense for a preacher to run for
any office. *
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance,
and the price of freedom is a clear tax re
ceipt. Look to it that you are thus armed
when you offer your ticket Wednesday

Old Uncle Johnathan Norcross ex
hibited his figgers, yesterday, at the
City Hall. They were not nearly so
lively os Mrs. Jarlev exhibited on the
same stage last Christmas, nor did they
receive half the applause. We were
somewhat sorry for the old gentleman
until he began to tell his lies on Tilden
and then we thought it time for some
of his friends to take him out.

We have received a communication
from a prominent Republican in Liv
ingston District, in reply to the com
munication of Cajo, which appeared in
the Courier a few days ago. Now
while we are willing to oblige all our
subscribers in all things that we reason
ably can, we cannot open our columns
to the claims of Dr. Felton, or any
other Republicam>Ours is a Democrat

readers by publishing the claims of. a
man whose every act and word, is an
insult to their organization. He and
his Republican associates must seek
some other organ.
The Republicans of Indiana are op

never wore a pair of kid gloves in his
life, and never saw a visiiing card until

Our Republican friends are great stick
lers for society. Belknap always wore
a swallow-tailed coat and kid gloves;
Babcock wears lavenders and knows a
calling card on sight; Grant always
wears a plug hat, when not too drunk
to wear any; McKee alwayB wore white
kids and blue swallow-tails when out

changed after these fellows got in, and
they are bound to keep up with the
fashions; Bristow didn’t wear kids—

In answer to the above questions in
the Cartersville Express, would say that
I did, and that I am. Now friend
Willingham having answered your
questions, frankly, candidly and horn
estly. I beg leave to ask you a few
plain simple questions, andexpressthe
hope that you may answer them in the
same way.
1st. Will the Democrats of Bartow
stand to vindicate the integrity of their
delegates in the Dalton Congressional
Convention ?
2nd. How many of the six delegates
from Bartow to the Kingston Conven
tion were Felton disorganizes ?
3rd. How many organized Demo
crats are there in Bartow ? An approx
imate answer will suffice.
4th. For whom did your vaunted
chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Bartow County for years,
vote at the last Congressional Elec
tion ?
5th. For whom will the ancient chair
man, aforesaid, vote at the approaching
election ?
As we are locating disorganizers, and
placing them in position, it becomes
important to have correct answers to
the above questions.

Why the South is Solid-
New York Herald.]
The truth is the Republican party does
not deserve to carry any Southern State,
unless it be North Carolina, where the
parties are very equally matched, and
where the Republicans are as respectable
and as certain to give the State a good
Government as the Democrats. They
might have carried a number of they had
paid only a little attention to good govern
ment down there; if in had not been so
long the policy at Washington to en
courage and support with tne Federal
pntroage a set of graceless and unscrupu
lous political gamblers and adventurers,
to the exclusion of honorable and honest
men, who easily liavo been brought into
the Republican party by the use of u little
wisdom and good management. That the
South is to-day a unit, or very nearly so,
for the Democratic party is the fault of
Republican mismanagement at Washing
ton. Every man, no matter whether he
is Republican or Democratic, who desires
to see the Southern States honestly ruled
must wish that they shall be carried this
fall by the Democrats.
There was a fine chance for Mrs.
Toodles in New York on Tuesday,
when a choice collection of mummies
and skulls from Peru was sold at auc
tion. Such bargains in dead men never
were known before. One lot of thirty-
five skuls, “with the hair beautifully
preserved,” was knocked down at the
inconsiderable Drice of $S7,50, and the
finest mummies went begging at eight
and ten dollars, while the lower grades
sold at three dollars and below, and
some were actually given away at fifty
cents apiece. The demand for idols
was equally dull. One magnificent
fellow, eight feet high, was purchased
*> t h. priding election,« &£££$%&
dollars and a half, while pocket idols
were sold in lots at a merely nominal
jrice. This fall in the market for pre-
listoric Peruvians is even more re
markable than the late coal collapse,
and, if no bull movement intervene,
these interesting antigues will be
brought within the reach of every one
and no household need be without
mummy or its idol. But then
The True History of the Rota
tion System.
To the Editor of The Courier:
As the Senatorial muddle is creating
some excitement, and calling forth
some angry discussion and many erro
neous statements of facts, I desire to
say a few words in vindication of con
temporaneous history, and of the just
claims of Floyd county to the Senator
from this District for the next term.
That Daniel R. Mitchell was elected
to the Senate from this district in 1861
is true. But how ? Was he put for
ward by Floyd county as her candi
date? I say, No! emphatically No!
He was an Independent candidate, and
was opposed by Judge Kirby, of Chat
tooga, and by Ed. Puckett, Esq., of
Bartow—both of whom were honora
ble and worthy representative men of
their respective counties. Mitchell
worked in between them, and was elected
by a small majority—Jess, I think, than
50 votes.
Is it right, in view of these facts, to
charge Mitchell to Floyd under the al
ternating system ? Mitchell was the
first Senator under the district system
—theie was no Senatorial Convention
held—-nobody to hold one, as most
good men were in the array.
At the first Senatorial Convention
held in this district, Hawkins F. Price,
of Bartow, was nominated, and the ro
tation system was then and there agreed
upon. And, in as much as each of the
counties had contended for the honor

To the Editor of the Courier:
It is written that a prophet is never
without honor, save in his own coun
try. “I am uo prophet, nor am I the
eon of a prophet,” and yet the
spirit of prophecy moves; yea, im
pels tne to make and record one predic
tion—and this it is. Four years hence
at the next Senatorial election for this
district.
Bartow county will claim the Sena
tor—(the magnanimous resolve of the
eo-called Kingston Convention, to the
contrary notwithstanding), and base
her claim upon the ground, that Floyd
had her candidate in the field at the
preceding last election. If not elected,
’twas not the fault of Bartow.
“The Democrats of Bartow will stand
to vindicate the integrity of their dele'
gates in the Kingston Conyention,”
(what will become of “the integrity of
her delegates” to the Dalton Convention?)
and of course, cau’t be bothered look
ing after the interests of Floyd Candi
dates.
The Chattooga delegates will then
occupy the position of “umpire,” they
will retire to consult after all the evi
dence has been submitted, and they
in number will be unanimously of the
opinion that Bartow is entitled to the
Senator, no matter where Burn’s resi
ded when he was elected.
Please record the above prediction,
Mr. Editor, preserve the record, and I
will stand or fall as a prophet by the
truth or falsity of the prediction.
Waleskee.
stood, and agreed, that the rotation
should begin with Price’s term. This
I know to be true, for I was present, and
know whereof I speak. I opposed it
then—am opposed to it now, for the
reason that it will never be carried out
in good faith.
Either county can readily find an
excuse, or make one by raising the cry
of “ Wire-working 1 ring combinations!
corruptions! packed conventions ! un
fairness 1” etc., etc., etc, to justify them
in their view of the case in ignoring
the just claims of thier sister counties.
To sustain this position we simply re
fer to the action of Bartow in the last
Congressional election, and to the action
of Chattooga and Bartow at the late
Kingston swindle, no-called.
But let us return to our vindication
of history. Maj. C. H. Smith succeed
od Mr. Price—ran without a Senatorial
nomination. The next convention after
the nomination of Price, at Kingston,
was held in Rome; and at that conven
tion (the second in the district under
the alternating system) John T. Burns,
of Chattooga, was nominated, his name
having been presented to the conven
tion by some of Chattooga’s best and
truest men. I was present at that Sen
atorial Convention, and know wherof I
speak—have more than one reason for
recollecting, very distinctly, the most of
what it did.
At the next district convention held at
Kingston, Jno. W. Wofford, of Bartow,
was nominated. At the next, and last,
Gamble, of Chattooga, was nominated
showing two from Bartow, two from
Chattooga, none from Floyd, except as
she won them, without nominations. And
yet Col. Akin says—and the Colonel is
“ an honorable man"—and proves it by
Col. Willingham—and he is “ anothor'
—that Floyd has had two Senators
without Burns, and three with Burns,
Now, according to the schoolmaster’s
arithmetic, in reckoning his scholars,
that gives Floyd county five Senators,
But where are they ?—who are they ?
Echo answers ‘where?” and “who?”
From the foregoing historical facts
(and I challenge a denial,) it would
appear that Bartow has had two, and
Chattooga two. nominations at the
hands of Senatori&ljconyentions. Floyd
none- Deny it who dares. The truth
of history demands the admission,(and
I make it most cheerful!,) that Bartow
and Chattoogo did not oppose the elec
tion of Maj. Smith. It was Floyd
turn for the Senatorahip, and there was
a sort of tacit agreement or understand'
ing that they would not oppose, but
sanction whatever Floyd should do in
the premises. “Only this nnd nothing
more,” Not so, however, when Mitch'
ell was elected. Both entered the field
with their chosen leaders, and gallantly
contested overy inch of the ground and
failed, only because Col. Mitchell was
the strongest man, and Floyd the
strongest county.
In discussing the equities of this Sena'
torsal question, it should be borne in
mind that Mitchell and Smith, each
served but two years, Burns, of Chat
tooga, was the first Senator elected under
the new Constitution—fixing the term at
four years—so that his term of service
was equal to that of both Mitchell and
Smith, should the advocates of the
Kingston outrage persist in counting him
as constituting part of the alternating
system, against which I beg to enter my
solemn protest, for the foregoing reasons
and many more equally cogent.

Leavenworth, Sept., *. 25.—The Re
publican State Central Committee will
meet at Topeka to consider the charges
against George T. Anthony, candidate
for Governor of Kansas. One of these
charges is that Anthony, while one of
the commissioners of the school fund
of Orleans county, New York, appro
priated to his own use part of that fund
and that the Supreme Court of New
York rendered judgement against his
bondsmen for 89,300, and that the
a ementis still unpaid. The records
e court in this matter are here in
due form and will be laid before the
committee. Another charge is that the
District Court of the county of LeaV'
enworth shows a suitj against Anthony
for obtaining consignments of goods
upon false representations, that he fai
led to pay therefor, that judgement
was rendered against him far 810,600,
and that the judgment is still unpaid.
There are also- other matters affecting
the personal integrity of Anthony
which will be brought before the com
mittee.

are visiting the city for the purpose of
buying goods. The proprietors of these
houses say that conversation in the cor
ridors and at the table has taken
more hopeful tone, and that faces have
assumed a brighter expression,
steady growth of business is predicted,
and a renewal of the old readiness to
make investments is manifested. In
deed, the present condition oftbehotels,
and the talk and movements of the
crowds that fill them, are in themselves
indications of increased commercial
confidence, and of better and more stir
