M. im I x 13 '-.I.. Proprietor.
: Feb 25,1879
Tuesday Morning,
It is pleasant to think that wo uevor
feel called on to assert the fact of our
Democracy. Nobody doubts it—but
some abuse us for being so.
We are indebted to Senators Gor
don and Bayard, and Hon. J. R. Chal
mers, of the House, for recent interest
ing and important public documents.
The Forty-fifth Congress has one
more week of life. It ends with next
Tuesday, the 4th of March. We are
glad to see that as it approaches the
end the Democrats show more pluck.
For a number of years the policy of
the party has been conciliation rather
than aggression. In fact, it had become
ho conciliatory that to many its prudence
was taken for lack of purpose, and its
caution for cowardice.
It is to bo hoped that the purpose rf
the Democrats in Congress to force a
repeal of the test oath nnd supervisors
laws will he adhered to, even if such a
course should necessitate an extra ses
sion. Now, if ever, unyielding devo
tion to principle should mark their
conduct.
A LET TtK PROM MRS. FELTON.
Warm Words and a Frank Admission.
The following letter from Mrs. W. H.
Felton, which wo take from the Augus
ta Chronicle and Constitutionalist, is
decidedly interesting reading, and we
publish it with pleasure, not forgetting
to emphasize each sentence or word just
as we find it in the Chronicle.
It will be seen that Mrs. Felton is
glad to say no provocation has ever in
dnced either the Doctor or herBelf to
retaliate upon the families of their op
ponenta. We think Mrs. Felton is on
titled to praise for her conduot, bui
she ought to remember that theirs is
about the only family that has ever
been known to run for Congress in
Georgia. And Bhe ought to know fur
thermore that her preBenco in politics
has made the situation very embarrass
ing in every race the Doctor has run.
Sne, without doubt, being the master
spirit in organizing and conducting
these campaigns; and the fact being
known to the opponents or the Inde
pendent candidate that it was the work
of a lady, many things have been al
lowed to go unanswered that would
have been promptly met. Mrs. Felton’s
power was wielded and felt for n long
time through the means of anonymous
letters; but in the last canvass the pros
pect became so unpromising that she
appeared in print in different commu
nications over her own signature.
By her own ndmission it seems that
Mrs. Felton was in communication with
Senator Ferry, him who had declared
it as his purpose to usurp as President
of the Senate the prerogative of the
House and count tho electoral vote of
1S76. There is not a more determined
Radical or a bitterer enemy of the
South than this same man Ferry to
whom Mrs. Felton applied for assis
tance, if uot for money. She wrote a
“friendly letter" to this bitterest foe of
all; takeaway this hope and he never
will be again.
We have refrained heretofore from
speaking of Mrs. Felton as a factor in
politic?, but she has time and again come
before the public over her own signature,
instead of lettiug her husband fight her
battles, and what we say now is said for
the purpose of show.ng that Dr. Felton,
by admission of his wife, is the Represen
tative of the Radicals of this District—
that without their votes he would ben pri
vote citizen after tne 4'h o March.
We hope every one of our readers will
give this strange document a careful pe
rusal :
Washington, D. C., Feb. 12.
Editors Chronicle and Constitutional
ist:
I hope you will allow me sufficient
space in your paper to reply to your
editorial of last Suuday, which you will
please copy here.
GIVE THE NAME.
Mr. A. W. Reese, in his editorial cor
respondence with the Macon Telegraph
and Messenger, charges that during the
recent canvass in the Seventh District a
letter was written to Senator Ferry
(Rep ), of Michigan, ‘'imploring, in the
most piteously pathetic terms, tnateri.il
aid from tho Radical Congressional
Campaign Committee for Dr. Felton
in his canvass against the Democratic
nominee and party. Mr. Reese say
Senator Ferry sent the letter to Hon
A. Hubbell, a Republican member of
the House from tho sameStato, and also
a member of the abuvo named cam
paign committee. It was afterward
turned over to Mr. Gorham, secretary
of the committee, and also Secretary of
the Senate. All the persous named
agree as to the uature and text of the
letter, nnd how eloquently tho writer
plead for Radical money to enable the
so-called Independent leader to carry
the election. Mr. Reese does not give
the name of the author of the letter, but
bis language conveys the impression
that Mrs. Felton was the writer. In a
matter of this kind there should not be
tny hints or intimations. Mr. Reese
says he does not publish it, but knows
the name well. He should give it, by
all means. >
Although A. W. Reese, of the Macon
Telegraph and Messenger is the person
known as my assailant (his name be
ing signed to the article ot. which you
comment), Gen. Gordon is recognized
by me as the author of the assault.
Sine > “A. W. R." did not give the
name for which you cull I cannot as
sert that I am the person pointed at,
but as yourself and others are similarly
impressed that it was intended forme,
I shall reply to it.
I have become in some measure ac
customed to the abuse showered so
liberally upon my husband and myself
in the late Congressional campaign
but I am glad to say no provocation
has ever induced either of us to retal
iate upon the families of our opponents
Chivalry seems to be at a discount with
tho so-called “organized” in Georgia,
All good citizens who respect and pro
tect their own hearth-stones will givt
the Independents credit for better con
duct.
I understand the churgo to bo that I
“plead in piteously pathetic terms for
Radical money” to help my husband’s
election. Hud I done so, the allegation
would come with bad grace from an
owner of the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger, which paper was subsidized
by Governor Brown in the matter of
the State Road lease for the sum of t"'0
thousand dollars.
I only recognize the muster is this
attack—uot the servitor who does Gen.
Gordon’s puffing as well as his dirty
work in his newspaper.
If A. VV. Reese, iu his strenuous ef
forts to secure a place under tho Senate
ator Ferry, with whom I had acquaint
ance for seveial years, asking him to use
his influence to break up the combination
with Bryant in the Holizclaw movement,
I frankly admit.
J. E. Bryant informed a gentleman of
Rome, Ga., a distinguished Democrat,
that "he was on his way to Dalton” (the
day before he brought out Hultolaw), to
organize the Republicans in the interest
if Judge L-ster.” Do you desire his
name? The fact that Bryant was furnish
ed money by the National Executive
Committee of the Democratic party was
published in full in the Irdianapolis
Journal of October 24th, 1878.
That Bryant was seeking to get money
from the Republican National Commit
tee, I was also reliably informed. That
I did request Senator Ferry to use his in
fluence to circumvent this nefarious plot,
I have no disposition to deny. I should
likely do so again under similar circum
stances. My husband was away fiom
borne, in the upper counties and anxiety
induced me to write without delay, which
I did on my own responsibility and over
my own signature. What his cooler
judgment would have advised, I did not
know. He certainly appreciated my
heartfelt interest in his success against the
strong combinations to which the history
of Georgia furnishes no parallel. It was
a bitter fight made by unscrupulous men,
and 1 have no apology to make for my
efforts in behalf of my husband. It
it sad day for Georgia when “sensational
newspaper mendicants” car. assail the
wife when her husband stands in the
path of a publio man from whom the
scribbler derives his official existence and
whose patronage he enjoys.
If I am thus to be made tho target
organized" abuse, the Independents of
the State may understand that no tnau’i
home is sacred from attack, if he dares
to resist the encroachments of the “pub
lic plunderers” on the old Common
wealth of Georgia. I think I understand
and appreciate the feelings of the good
and honest men in both parties, and they
will rebuke any party or clique that
spares no sex or condition in their insane
desire to keep themselves in office.
The very fact that shifty politicians at
tack everybody who interferes with their
combination for public plunder, has
done more to injure the Democratic or
ganization in Georgia than everything
else. To this they add the resolve to at
tack women, because guilty cowardice re
fuses to meet mure responsible parties
Drive the money changers from the Dem
ocratic temple, and Bet up officials whose
houorand reputation are dearer to them
than convict cumps or tho money of Jay
Gould or Huntingdon.
Respectfully,
Mrs. W. H. Felton.
Our Tax Law.
Littell’s Living Age.
the Democratic party, “asking him to
break up tho combination with Bryant I organizition fiuds it necessary to show
in the Holtzolaw movement,” whatever! this subservience to Gen. Gordon, wo
that was. For ourselves, wc do not J cannot stoop to notice a man working
think it was much of a movement, as we
always thought with Walker Brock,
that “Felton was a good enough Repub
lican” for anybody in this District.
Now, Mrs. Felton admits that in order
to get a Radical out of tho way of her
husband she appeals, or writes a "friend
ly lettor” to tho man who next to Grant
filled the highest place in the gift of tho
Radical party iu 1876, and who stood iu
the line of succession to the Presidency,
as President of the Senate iu 1878, when
she was writing to biin for assistance.
And again to substantiate the charge that
Holtzclaw was a candidate in the inter
est of Judge Lester, Mrs. Felton brings
up as a witness the paper in the North
west which of all Radical papers is the
most implacable cuerny of Democracy,
the whilom organ of Oliver P. Morton
of blessed cipher dispatch memory, the
Indianapolis Journal.
There is no use mincing matters about
this affair. Dr. Felton was certainly
aware of Mrs. Felton’s correspondence
with tne tycoon of Radicalism, Ferry.
There was reason for the call for assist
ance, as Dr. Felton well knew that every
Radical vote given ta Holtzclaw reduced
his cwn just so much. And it seems
|Mrs. Felton may have been successful in
k-r appeal, for Mr. Holizclaw, after a
riel’ spasmodic effort, left the field and
lie was not beard of any more in the can
vass, nor on election day, A fair pre
sumption is that Dr. Felton got whnt he
expected, the entire Radical vote of the
District. Without a well-founded hope
of getting tbe solid Radical vote Dr.' Fel
ton would never have been a candidate at
for such selfish ends and such substan
tial rewards. Tbe Senator, I find, has
been very active in this matter—his po
sition entitles him to some attention.
When a United States Senator can
run a convict camp, which “is a dis
grace to civilization,” for money—when
ho can manipulate a Southern Insurance
Company and a Southern University
Publishing Company, not to speak of
other circumlocution enterprises, where
the money of the subscribers disappear
ed forever—when he could borrow the
money of a Southern Bishop, and the
Bishop sold the collaterals for only or.e
dollar in the hundred, you need uot be
surprised that he should attack the wife
of a political opponent. When his namo
in connection with tho money of
Jay Gould and Huntingdon was tho
street talk of Washington City, which
astonished the startled ears of Judge Uu-
derwood and Col. D. 8. Printup last
spring, commented on by strangers at a
duner table of one of the principal ho
tels iu Washington, can you wonder that
ho Bhould -SHO money at the bottom of any
enterprise ? If he aud A. W. Reese desire
to establish the precedent of fighting la
dies to injure their husbands, they may
find it uncomfortable if well carried out.
Precedents count astonishingly some
times.
Tho charge that I wrote to Senator
Ferry, or anybody else, nsking for "Rad
ical monev,” or any other money, to help
my husband’s election, I firmly deny. If
“A. W. R.” will furnish a genuine letter
of mine, I shall need no further proof.

The Republican Senators, it is now
said, huve resolved to dismiss Senator
Butler of South Carolina, from his seat,
if possible, before the 4th of March, and
to admit Corbin. Mr. Butler was duly
elected, but the party of moral ideas
would like to get rid of about as many
Democrats as possible. Don Cameron
objects to this proceeding, as do one or
two other Republicans. Cameron
thinks it will do tho party no good to
steal a Senator just as their power over
tbe Senate is expiring. But he has been
ttkeu in hand by tbe other Republican
Senators, and given to understand that
he must yield and obey orders. It is
announced that the pressure upon him
is so sovero that he can hardly resist
it.
Cedartowc Advertiser: Major G. W.
West laid before the Grand Jury last
week a communication on the above
subject, which, but for want of space,
we should give to our readeis iu full.
His position as to the injustice and in
equality of the present law is well
borne out by the facts and arguments he
presents. That tho burden of taxation
falls unequally upon the taxpayers is
at -nt to every one who has given the
subject the leaBt attention. Our tax
laws are crude and imperfect and fail
utterly to equalize the burdens of our
State government. But we muHt object
to Major West’s plan for correcting
them. A petition f r om a Grand Jury
has no more weight with a legislative
body titan one from any other body of
respectable citizens, and we are opposed
to the custom of Grand Jurors fritter
ing away their time in discussing mat
ters over whioh they have cot the
slightest control. If the laws are griev
ous and oppressive the people have a
remedy, but it does not lie in Grand
Jury presentments. Lot them give ex
pression to their griefs through mass
meetings, conventions, petitions, resolu
tions, etc., but do not hire a score of
men at a dollar a day to meet in a
room to themselves and discuss and pe
tition. The remarks of Judge McCutch-
en on this point to the Bartow conn
ty Grand Jury we think eminently
wise and proper, and many counties
would be run to less expense if all ju
ries would be guided thereby.
Major West is right in the end aimed
at, but wrong in the manner of attain
ing it. Let him continue to agitate the
matter and get the people interested in
it. If they want the law changed they
can have it done. Let them assemble
and give such an expression of public
sentiment on the subject ns our law
makers will not dare ignore.
