Gentlemen:—Since your names
are now so prominently before the
public in connection with the office
of Governor, as a disinterested and
earnest member of the Democratic
party, and a citizen having the good
of Georgia at heart, I beg leave to
ask from each of you candid and
explicit answers to each one of the
following queries:
1st. Are you in favor of a removal
of the Capital ?
2nd. Are you in favor of calling a
convention "for the purpose of rid
ding our fundamental Law of the
defects and errors made therein by
the party which imposed it upon
thepeople?
These questions are of momen
tous interest to the people of Geor
gia, and we fed that they arc enti
tled to a full aud clear answer to
each.
Yours KespoefuUy,
Citizen.
Tliomasville, Ga., July 12,187<>.
The Congressional Convention.
As delegates will be appointed to
day to this convention, tbe question
ol tbe next place of bolding tlio
venlion naturally suggests itself. Since
Thomas has bccu iu the 2nd Disl.,
there have been two convention’s
held-both at Albany. Now we do
not suppose that Albany wishes to
monopolize tbe convention. In tael
it would be hardly fair to other towns
in the District. The Disk, has sev
eral eligible towns, conveniently loca
ted. They should all have a showing
it they desire it. There is Cuthbert,
Dawson, Camilla, llainbridgo, Tliom
asville, Quitman and Valdosta. We
think the convention should rotate
and give all parts of tlic District an
equal showing. Without claimin'
any special advantages over our sis
ter towns, we suggest that the next
convention be held in Tliomasville.
and hope that the convention to-day
will take some action on the subject.
We doubt not it proper action is ta
ken, but that tbe executive committee
will readily accede to the wishes of
people in this respect. What say
our contemporaries in the District to
holding the next convention inThom-
asvillc?

lloyc’fl Letter.
This delayed but anxiously looked

graphic columns last Tuesday m$*h-
ing. It shows great care and circum
spcctlon in its production. There lias
evidently been several fingers ip the
Many leading conservative Re
publicans insisted that he should in his
letter of acceptance, cut loose lroin the
rotten, sinking, stinking hulk of the
administration. Thu ho was afraid
to do—and so he swallows at one gulp,
the fulsome, sickening endorsement
of Grant and the thieving hordes who
have surrounded lnm for eight years.
He says that he is in hearty accord
with all resolutions ip the platform.—
Thc only new issue injected {u t)ip
letter is his allusion to the one term
question. Upon that he says “one
term” will satisfy his ambition. His
bid for Southern votes u as shallow ns
it will be barren of results. The “Civ
il Rights” question and tbe right of
the general government lo interfere
in purely Stale matters, arc most
gcniously dove tailed in. Witness
this sentence:
“The moral and material
“prosperity of the Southern
“States can be rnort e fleet u-
“ally advanced by a hearty and goner-
“ous recognition of the riyhts of all
“by all, without reserve or exception
“With such a recognition fully apeorcL-
“cd it will be practicable to promote by
“the influence of all legitimate aycncie*
“of the General Government the effort
“of the people of these tflatcs to
“lain for themselves blessings of lion
“est aud capable Government.”
See how insidiously he inoculates
the document with the poisou of cen
tralization. The Southern States arc
competent. if let alone by tlio General
Government, of “obtaining for them
selves, the blessings of liopest Gov
ernment.” Wo don't waut any inter
ference beyond the restricted juris
diction of the gcucral Government.
The letter as a whole is very ingenious,
but is maiuly designed to catch
the Northern car. and lo
eater to their dangerous
ideas of centralization. Ali hU talk
about “reform" amounts lo nothing.—
lie is in tlic hands of the most un
scrupulous men in tjxc country; the
men who have brought it to disgrace
and ruin, aud in their iron grasp lie
would remain, were he elected. They
sung the same syren song of relorm in
'08 and 72. All know how faithless
they have proven themselves to the
solemn pledges then made. Hayes
takes up the same refrain and pledges
the great army of bummers and thieves
to a work of reformation which every
intelligent voter m the laud knows
perfectly well they will not perform.
Much was expected of tins letter, as
it was felt that the Cincinnati platform
needed patching, it fa before the peo
ple aud will be passed upon by an intel
ligent, discriminating public, in whose
bands we cau safely trust the decision.
As to its claims for public confluence,
in tbe light of the past, and in
view of the many broken pledges of
the radical parly, the verdict is not
doubtful. It will be, “Thou hast al-
been weighed in the balances and
found wanting.’*
Onr Bungling Indian Policy.
If anything were wantiog to arouse
tbe American people to the shameful
and digraceful policy which Grant and
his party have pursued toward the In
dian tribes, certainly the heart sick
ening massacre of the gallant Custer
and bis band will do it. The blood of
Custer and bis fallcu braves erics
aloud lor vcngaocc. Not so much for
vengeance against the untutored sav
age, as against the radical party, who,
in order to enrich an arm/ of contrac
tors, post traders and bummers, have
been and are still stirring up strife,*
whereby millions are made out of the
unsettled condition of the ravage tribes
our Western frontier. Prominent
at the head of this noble band ot patri
ots, slandsOrvillcGrant,ihe contractor
brother of the President. These land
sharks do not hesitate to plunge the
whole frontier into a bloody war, ex
posing thousands of Western pioneers
and their helpless wives and children
to the horrors of an indian war, in or
der that they may get fat contracts
from the government And, though
let it be said with tbe blush of shame
and humiliation mantling the check of
every true American, that Grant and
his thieviug unscrupulous party have
winked at these gross frauds and al
lowed Delano, Orville Grant, and oth
er larger and smaller thieves, accord
ing io their chances, lo so shape our
Indian policy as to bring about this
deplorable state of affairs. The cul
mination is found in the slaughter of
General Custer, and five whole compa
nies of United Slates troops. If
Grant, his rings and satellites, and ar
my of contractors can sleep with the
blood of Custer aud his comrades on
their skirls, as it surely is, they have
certainly become hardened indeed.—
Had it not been for the rapacity and
greed of hungry army contractors;
had it uol bccu for the full swing
which the rotten corruptiouisls have
oblaiucd ifndci the present adminis
tration, lioldiug tbe peace of our Wes
tern border in their thieving fingers,
and tlic lives of tho liardy struggling
pioneer as if by a thread, ready to cut
it whenever it would inure to llicir
gaiu regardless of the precious lives
tlio balance, there would have been
none of this strife. Custer and his
braves would be alive to-day, aud the
country would liave been raved mil
lions of unnecessary expense.
Tlic country will bold Grant aud the
republican party strictly to an accouut
for this deluge ofblood and this heavy
draft of expense on au already im
poverished people. This is another
load which Mr. Ilnycs will lmv
carry. His platform, and upon it lie
has to stand or fall, eulogizes Grant
and the radical party to the skies for
the able manner iu which the foreign
and domestic aiTairs of the country
have been managed. This miserable
affair is but a fair sample of the able
mauqcr in which the prince of bum
mers and his hangers on have inafib
cd the domestic affairs of the country.
The regret of the people at the un
timely death of Gcucral Custer will be
intensified and swell into indi;
tion when it is known time that gal
lant officer was rpppptjy relieved from
his comtnnuil and most poiutedly snub
bed by Graut, simply because he bad

other thieves must be shielded—it

tinued confidence of a people? Let
us sincerely hope as it has no
parallel in the past, that it may find
none iu the future. Tlio followiug is
telegraphic report of the affair in
which Caster lost his life:
The Biot !■ Hamburg, S. C.
Derails of tlic liot in Hamburg,
South Carolina have reached ns. It
seems that a negro Military compa
ny were parading on the 4th, and
blocked up one of the principal all eets.
General Rivers, colored, of tho militia
ordered them to move which Doc
Adams the Captain refused to do.—
He was subsequently arrested by
Rivers and rescued by his company.
po6soc was called out to arrest Ad
ams who with liis company had forti
fied themselves in a strong building.
After fighting the best part of a day
and night, the rioters were dislodged
and some twenty captured. Unfor
tunately Adams escaped. One or
two while men were killed and quite
number of negiocs.
We hope that tbe negiocs will
learu afterawhile, that they cannot
successfully resist tbe same law which
applies to white men, and that when
they do so, that swift aud sore pun
ishment will follow. This country
cannot be ruled by negro mobs.
A Radical Lie Nailed to tbe
Counter.
We have it from reliable authority
that E. C. Wade told some negroes
during a recent visit to Tliomasville,
that Gov. Tildcn was a Roman Cath
olic in order of course to prejudice the
negro against Tildcn. Now it is well
known that Mr. Tilden is a Presbyte-
and any statement to the con
trary is unqualifiedly false. If Wade
aud others caunot get along without
iying, they bad better quit tbe race.—
To be deprived of that strong element
and mud sill ot their party, however
would deprive them of the bulk of their
stock in trade. We give the redoubt
able Col. and his white allies dne no
tice that we shall from' this time for
ward show them aud their false state
ments and premises up whenever they
come to our knowledge. We shall do
this for two reasons. First, to vindi
cate the Democratic party, aud sec
ondly, to prevent the freedmen from
being imposed upon by tlieir unscru
pulous white leaders. Whenever aud
wherever false impressions are at
tempted to be made on the ignorant
and unsuspecting during this canvass
by whomsoever, we shall
pose them and their authors
regardless of consequences. Just
slick a piu down there and govern
yourselves accordingly. It would
seem that a white man has reached
the bottom when be affiliates with ne
groes and goes against liis race and
liis people, but when they add false
hood and misrepresentation to this
unnatural aud repulsive alliance, they
get just one step lower down.

At a point about three miles dow
the right back of the stream, Custer
had evidently attempted to ford, and
attack tho village from the ford. The
trail was found to lead back up to the
bluffs and to tlic northward, ns if the
troops had been repulsed aud conipcl-
ed to retreat, and at the same time
bad been cut off from regaiuing tlic
forces under Reno. The bluffs alons.thc

ridges aud in the ravines the men were
found lying as they had fought, line

positions had been successively taken
up and held till uouc were left to fight.
Then huddled in a narrow compass
horses and men were piled promiscu

Fertilizer*.
Dr. Janes commissioner of Agricul
ture of Georgia in making an esti
mate of the amount and cost ot ferti.
lizers' used in Georgia iu ’70 and 7C
makes the following comparison be
twecu home made and.fcreign fertili
zers.*
These 104,135 tons of compost, at
the liberal estimate of au average out
lay in cash of fifteen dollars per Ion,
cost §1,502,040—but little over half
what 50,590 tons of commercial fertili
zers C06t, though of equal agricultural
value per ton with the best ammonia-
ted compounds.
Thus it will be seen that over
hundred thousand tons of home made
fertilizers were made at a cost of not
exceeding §15 per ton, and of quality
equal in value to the best ntnmonia-
ted compounds, whilst half that quan
tity of commercial manures, cost over
twice the amount. Planters would do
well to study these figures. We want
to see pur], farmers}, not only make
their supplies at home, but their ferti
lizers as well, aud ask them to lay
this paper aside aud read the evidence
of pr. Janes, wjippever they feel the
“juanper” fever coming ou next
spring. The prescription is given
thus early, so that it may prove
preventive, as well as a cure for this

Governor of Georgia. Keep cool gen

Tildeu’s reply to the committee
who waited on him to notify him
of his nomination has the ring of
thc true metal about it Reform is
his shibboleth, and upon that issue
the people will rally around his
standard. IJis and uov. IJendrick’a
letter of acceptance will be out in a
few days.
It is to be hoped that Piegan Phil
will find enough to do this summer
and fall in chasing the red skins, to
keep him from sticking liis nose into
the tfoulhern States.
We should not l>c surprised at Grant
issuing an order notifying western
pioneers that they must do their own
fighting until after the election. He
will doubtless want to use thc regular
army to seep thc Southern States duly
humble during the coming election.
Bnsiow refuses lo tell thc investi

gave him any support in hi? prosecu

sion: He did not.
Gen. Custer made a forced
march of 78 miles, the 24 hours pre
ceding the fatal engagement in
which he lost his life.
Ever since lost Saturday Rev. J.
T. Ainsworth, Pastor of the M. E.
Church iu this place, assisted by
sevend ministering brethren, 1ms
been holding meetings daily and
nightly, with the Church here. As
a consequence, the revival feeling
prevails among the membership and
Christians generally, in a powerful
degree and a very deep interest is
manifested among the nouprofess-
ors of the community who flock to
thc altar iu crowds, whenever an
opportunity is extended.
Rev. Messrs. J. B. McGeliee,
Mebane and S. W. Stubbs have
been the auxiliary miuisters aud thc
whole corps, including the Pastor,
have labored with a degree of zeal
and pious energy that cannot fail to
accomplish the most beneficial and
grateful results.
The ladies of thc cownmuity, too,
are holding daily prayer meetings
for the furtherance of the cause; the
young meu have also organized a
daily prayer meeting and we cau
not believe the blessings of Heaven
will be withheld from such a zealous
and fnithful people.
We repent the announcement
made in tliis column some weeks
ago that the Union meeting of thc
Churches composing the Bowen As
sociation will be held with the Bap
tist Church hero on thc 5th Sunday
in the present mouth, beginning
with the Friday before.
Rev, J, L. Underwood, of Camil
la, is to preach tho Introductory
Sermon aud several other miuisters
of known ability are expected to be
iresent and preach during tbe meet
Tig.
“Ought woman to be allowed to
ote ?” is the question selected for
discussion at thc next meeting of
the Debating Society, and the la
dies, one and nil, are cordially invi
ted to attend.
Tho leading disputants are Dr.
S. A. Roddeubury, Aff., and Dr. J.
T. Moore, Neg. Tbo strength of
thc Society will be drawn out on
thc occasion aud wo have no doubt
whatever that thc exercises will be
iu the highest degree entertaining
and interesting to all who may be
present. Hayes' Hall is the place
and Friday evening, 21st, iust,, thc
time.
Sure enough, it was just
said. Being ns how this was the
Centennial Fourth, George couldn’t
celebrate it enough by himself, so
he has to run away off up to lAUnp

Ah! “who will care for Beelzy

We should like ;'uy 4ouie gentle
man iu front to step tip ou the ros
trum aud cxplaiu why that prelimi
nary meeting was not last Sat
urday, pursuant to adjournment ?—
Not that it is any of our business,
for as we understand we arc “not
identified with the people on this
side the river,” it ought uot to lie,
of course; but it is reasonable to
suppose that somebody is “identi
fied” audj iu bcUaU* of that some
body, we ask tho question.
It is none of our business, but
we make bold to suggest, as an ab
stract proposition, that if the peo
ple who are interested make no ef
fort and talyp no steps to influence
tho course of public 1 affairs in the
county, they ought not to complain
if tho current does not run exactly
to suit them.
We have been to Woghollo, Bro.
Carson, and, although “the new
pump” hail not been erected, or
sunk, or whatever you call it, at
that time, we could not refrain from
observing to thc seventeen or eigh
teen admiring friends who accom
panied us that Hwas a most lovely
aud fascinating spot.

Keep cool gentlemen. Don't
sweat your collars oft We mean
you two or three men that don't

you better wait till we oak for office

Chafe not, gentles. We’ve never
