lIKJItSDAV MOKMNO, A Pit 11. If), 1877
Haye Democracy.
Since the electoral Hoard, in defiance
id law and indisputable evidence and in
ili re -aid of tho willies o( million* of legal
voters throughout the Union, counted in
iiutberfbrd H. Hayes as I’res'ulont, it i
truly sad to aee many old fossiliferous
party hacks in the Democratic party, and
other politicians, who do not knew them
selves what party they belong to, anolo
gizing for Mr. Hayes, and earnestly plead
in ; that everybody will quietly acquiesce
in whatever ho proposes.
Indeed, it is growing fashionable now
for tho most flattering encomiums on him
to come from some old sholfod-party
hack, whom it was hoped would keep
quiet the balance of their lives. They are
now nfleeting to have gained wisdom by
their long absence from t he politicul arena,
and tho newspaper' ate full of their sick
ening epistles. If they arc to bo believed,
it is a pity the Democracy ever nominated
Tildoii. Some of them acknowledge they
voted for Tilden, but knew nil the time
that Hayes was the man for tho place.
<)li! ye gods and little fishes, why did the
Democratic parly perpetrate such a folly,
as to hold a National Convention after
Haves had been nominated at Cincinnati?
They are counseling the Democracy
everywhere, especially in the South to
become dirt-eaters, and accept any office
they can get under Mr. Hayes. Yen, in
spite of the vilest fraud, and most in
iqnitons swindle ever perpetrated upon
a free people, they are urging that his
administration -Irill be uv.e'i mod and
co-operated with by men of all parties
arid sections, and that nmn everywhere
must rise up and say “(ireat is President
Hayes.”
The recent letter of Judge Hook, of
V.ignsta, ia but a sample of tho produ
lions new to be found in the public
journals, which in enough to di gust, ml
sicken the peoplp ad nauseam. In the
lilc of Patrick Henry we are told of one
Johnny Hook, who when our struggling
.colonies had gained their independence
after a sewn year's war, and the people
were everywhere rejoicing and shouting
ptvan- of joy to our noble army, this man
Honk commenced suit, for some beef lie
furnished our army, and everywhere
could tie heapd the cry of Johnny Hook,
i \ Heel', Beef.
But tho scene has changed. The men
of that revolution have passed away, and
tlui heroes and Statesmen of ITT>, live
in yin the hearts and grateful affections
if their countrymen. An election has
taken plaee for President of the I oiled
Slates, and Samuel J. Tilden, of New
York, is elected, but by fraud and parly
rascality, K. It. Ilayes, of Ohio, is dc
elnred the successful candidate, and is
.clandestinely inaugurated, when in spite
of such a wrong crying to high heaven for
its disapproval, up rises Judge Jimmy
Hook of Georgia. and although lie claims
to be an upright, life long Democrat, ho
is urging the people to cry Hayes! Hayes!!
Hayes!!!
In striking contrast with the utterances
of Judge Hook, and other weak kneed
Democrats', it is delightful to hear frqm
Kx-Gov. Brown, and other men, who arc
familiar with all the minutiae practiced to
defeat tho wishes of the people. Bead
the following from Gov. Brown:
“L consider the counting in of Gov.
Hayes to the Presidential office as the
greatest fraud ever perpetrated upon the
American people. He was beaten by an
immense popular majority, as all men of
all parties admit; and a majority of the
electoral votes were given to him in de
fiance of the popular will in at least nvo
Stales, which unquestionably gave clear
and decided majorities to his opponent;
thereby electing Governor Tilden, not only
by an immense popular majority, but by
a majority of the electors. Being fully
satisfied of the correct no sot' this state
ment, I could, as a Democrat, under no
circumstances accept at President Ifaycs
bands any office within his g.ft. Enter
taining this view, I cannot, with propriety
iccotmneudany' friend to Presidentos
for any position whatever; and ! hall
uniformly decline to do so."
It has been many long years since we
have been an admirer of Gov. Brown.
Don't know that w - have ever pray ed for
him since the tv. ml •: third year of the
war. But he -ii,l bis duty nobly ;
tho Florida K> turning Board, ami ha>
had tlu n.auhuuss to speak out ill denun-
ciation of iln villainy practiced there, ari l
in Louisiana. We feci like forgiving him
tor all bis pa t short comings. If he
comes out for office, we believe we shall
vote for him. and if ever ho flic - near us,
and vt - can at tend his burial, we intend to
show our appreciation of him as a men
and a patriot, by shedding one blue
bucket full of tears of fot give ness at hi
grave.
Convention
Some two Week - 111 • our at,,fnr-‘ 1
the Cartersviilo £'.</.•/> e.if -1 np<.ii.<
give an expression o! oj iainri in r-.-t- - no*,
to thu manner of putting out <-au lid,
for the convention, t tur sih-uee 1. 1 ,!
ed !in forth again in In i- of the Ki.h
in t., in a stateofdnuht, why we tnanife: t
ed such silence on the subject. Me• an
assure Brother Willingham that it w
not indifference to the subject by any
means, but because we, like our Floyd and
Bartow brethren, are out at sea on th„•
subject, almost without rudder or oar
In reply to the brother’s interrogate ic.s
we reply, first, that tho general expre -i-ui
of opinion in this county is, let Bartow
and l-’loyd have three delegates each, am
Chattooga ono. So far then all parties
are agreed so far as we know, unless
either of the other counties gt to cutting
up unnecessarily about it, when Chat
tooga feels that she holds the balance of
power.
In the second place, and the more im
portant one is, lmw shall the delegates be
brought forward? We do not see how
any convention of the people, or of the
different county committees, could arrive
at any satisfactory solution of the ques
tion, or put foiwurd men that would
satisfy tho people.
It. appears to be the prevailing' opinion
here, that each cunty should put not
such uien ns they think bust, un i in ■
doing, they should have some regard to |
the preference*of the other coumies. In
doing this, wo lay down three rules by
which to judge the acceptability of dele
gates to said convention,
1. If a man comes forward, niidi.sm:-
ceediugly anxious to be cut to the eon
volition, don't so:.d him. Let the office,
at least in this instance, seek the man,
and not th . man tin office,
2. fail file can lidates suggested be men
of known integrity, such as are and have
been firm, steady, intelligent, unwavering
in their devotion to the bo t interests of
■ lie people, and not after the honors of
poli:i.~d preferment, and are ,tecm.-d,
“worthy and well qualified" for the
p.i itioo.
,‘h No vacillating, wi.-hy washy, turn
coat of a politician wilt b; tolerated in this
section. A man wlio has been boxing the
politic.d compiles, to get on the strong or
pupehir mle to subserve his owil aclli-li
ne s, ili be igti-ued.
Now, by llie appiie it -in of those three
rules, each county eau wry readily indi
cate their men. without regard to pa. t
differences in th I t Senatorial district,
and l.at uiui.iz - anium: themselves, upon
such men as may a I I wili da credit to
the people, and the , a esc .a Pi: - he
suhserved.
In conclusion, we would sinrgi-st the

A reminder now and then is neocssary

Is it a Mystery ?
The following wucopy from the Bum,-
Courier, giving the sum of the vt-r.liet - fc
inquest held over the !- dy of tin- umr
ib red limn, found in Chattooga river la.-t
week Wo have the verdict of inquest
filed away in our office. In a private note
i’.oni Mr. J. N. Rosser, under date of the
i fth inst., he states that the party
"darted with the raft on the lJtli from
Mr.-. Jell'. Johnson’s upper place," and
iliat he carvied the dead body down the
river with a vine tied to his right ankle.
M ho the real murderer was wo .now not
tor certain, but tho real truth will eke I
out before long. The Courier says:
"Me have seen the verdict of the jury
of inquest and also a .statement in writing
of,!. B-issor in regurd to tho b. dy of
a man found in Chattooga river near thu
Aia -.mil line on the luth inst. From
th - e papers we gather the following
facts: Mr. J. N. 80.-ser, Nick Jones
u,l I*. D. Bollard, voio eng ig.-.l on tie
10th inst., in tl latiug a raft ~t - a.v logs
from the Sidney Johnson piano to llu- lfs
mill on Ciiaito ig.i riv,-r M iu-n at a -m.ci
island at or very him,- ilie State Hue, they
disiiovcted what app, .m il to be the body
of a man in thu water neat the west bank.
As it was not convenient to stop the raft,
it was agreed between them that Mr.
Bosser should stop with their bateau,
and investigate the matter, while the
other two should go on with the raft
Mr. Rosser rowed to tho object and found
it to be the body of a man apparently
several days dead, with a rock of some 20
pounds weight tied to the neck, and a
string around one ankle, but if any weight
h ' i been attached to this it was gone.
If sue,-ceded in n.melting a grape vine
to the body, and then fastening it to his
boat, rowed down the river some four
and a half miles before lie overtook his
friends on the raft. They were then in
Cherokee county, Alabama. They tied
