Fob Senator.
4‘J District:
JUDGE SAMUEL HAWKINS.
OF CHATTOOGA.
Subject to the ratification of a Demo
cratic District (Convention.
Senator Qortlon.
In this reatless age of office seeking,
ami over-weening desire for the loaves ami
fishes, it sterna almost iin possible for any
official to give satisfaction to the greedy
horde, who are ever and anon urging their
own peculiar fitness for the position al
ready worthily and well filled ty another.
It ia sad to realize that, in the ease of
Senator Uordon, combinations aro form
ing to displace him; although nothing
can ho alleged against his course since his
elevation to the United States Senate.
So elevated lias been the tenor of his
Statesmanship that, all MOetiims ol the
Union have been compelled to accord him
a mead of praise, (loud men and aide
journalists everywhere, have acknowl
edged his national bearing, and admired
his lofty genius. llis course in the Sen
ate has reflected honor on his State re
nown, ho won on a hundred battle fields
in Virginia. Then why remove him, to
make place for another and perhaps un
tried man?
Gen. Toombs is reported as saying to a
New York Sun reporter that, ‘'Gordon
will be displaced; that his course ha
been too erratic.” Why is it the great
mass of honest voters in Georgia, have
never made the discovery? With the
close of each session, they have been
ready and liavo said to him, “Well done
good and faithful servant.’
Wo cannot believe that, remembering
Senator Gordon’s well won fame in beha.l
of the “Lost I'uuso,” and his truly na
tional oourso in the Senate that the
I legislature of Georgia can so far stultify
itself as to elect any other man over him.
And now, whether "‘principalities or pow
ers, height or depth, or auyother cron
lure" is desiring Gordon’s place, we hope
they may be overwhelmingly defeated.
Hut the following from the Montgomery
Advertiser, so admirably expresses our
views on “the Georgia Sonutor.ship, ’ we
transfer it to our columns:
“Just at this time the composition of
the United States Senate is a matter of
great importance to the South, and our
people are naturally taking considerable
interest in the election of members to till
the torus which are about to expire.
The interest oomtuitted to the S< into,
and the great power to he exercised for
good or evil, which it wields in the mat
ter of appointments, makes Senators prac
tically representatives not of particular
states, but of all tlio states; and this is
especially so as regards the South. Wo
therefore feel, we trust, a not unpardon
able interest, in the approaching senat >■
rial elections, and may, without an impu
tation of meddling with what does not
concern us, express approval or disap
proval of the stewardship of the Senators
from sister Southern states, whose terms
are about to expire.
Wo see by our Georgia exchanges that
the legislature soon to be elected, will
choose a successor to Gordon. It is the
happy fortune of tint grand old common
wealth to have many sons who would
grace the United States Senate. With
out any disparagement to them, however,
we may express the opinion that Gordon
is his own fittest successor.
When Goorgia was in the slough ofie
construction, it was Gordon who set up
tho standard of Georgia manhood and
Loro it triumphantly in that memorable
campaign. It is well known, now, that
ho was elected governor of Georgia, al
though the reconstruction managers re
turned Bullock.
It was Gordon who illustrated th: valoi
of Georgians and Alabamians to.’, on ev
erv battlefield in Virginia, and plueke t
fresh laurels for Georgia by an heroic ai.d
brilliant career, which ranked him little
lower than Stonewall Jac’ son.
It was Gordon in tho United States
Senate who gave tone ami temp >r to the
dangerous debate on Louisiana, when the
braggart Sheridan recommended putting
her people to Jeath as banditti, by sen
tence of military courts. Mow ami what
would have been the end, in the hot
fever of those days, if Gordon hut not
deftly seized the holm, is beyond mortal
ken. It is but scant truth to ay that
but for the direction his voice mainly
gave to that memorable debate with Mor
ton, Edmonds uttd Logan, aud the influ
once which hi# example and character
enabled hint to wield ov ir the enrag-d
Louisianians, that era o' returning reason
in the north which gave ns the house of
representatives would have been post
poned to some distant future day.
It was Gordon who went with Hamp
ton when South Carolina was pas-ing
through the storm in a death struggle for
I deliverance. It was Gordon who, when
| the victory was wori and federal soldiers,
under Grant’s orders, sought to wrest
victory from tho people of Mouth Caro
■ lina, went to Columbia to protest again-’
j the usurpation and to give the world the
| facts.
His character stamped his utteranc e
with truth, and those who were doing the
dirty work of Chamberlain well knew
ihat the north, and the people of tho
north, would believe him, and when their
iniquities were known indignation would
raise a storm among the northern mu ms
which would shatter the bastard govern
ment which Grant sought- to inaugurate
in South Carolina. True, Gordon xxu,
but, one man, and without power to arrest
the despotism which then had its heel on
South Carolina ; but what ho w'.:i:o-.-ed
ihero, when laid before another execu
tive, hastened the day of her deliver
ance.
Such lias been tho re poet, which hi
high character and pure life had inspired
that the bitterest enemies "f the South
have not attempted to oppose, hi# legiti
mate influence as Senator in anything
except in strictly party matters, and thus
it is that Gordon, without abating one
.it or title of his minim el, has been able
to procure more substantial honefil# Cor
the pi oplo of his Slate than any Senator
from the South.
Such a Senator deserves ei 1 irsement
from the people of his State, and we
doubt not Gordon will receive it.
The Ohio Election.
The Ohio election was held the th
in t., aud resulted in an overwhelming
defeat, to the Republican paity, and in a
grand Democratic slice . A Democratic
Governor and a decided I>• mocratie ina
joiity ill the Legislature were elected.
In ISC’, Mr. Hayes carried tho State,
when he was elected Ga. re,or, and by
an increased majority in !87(>, when lie
was running for tho Presidency; but the
defeat oi the Republicans in this election
is regarded as a refusal of the State to
endorse Mr- Hayes’ policy as President,
and as certain to result ill a Ucinoeratie
Congressman in the place oi 1 vul-y
Matthews, the present incumbent.
Now will Me- . ■ Hold lieg, Blaine mid
other dissatisfied Republicans attempt to
turn the loss ol Ohio a: uni-t .Mr. Ilayis,
by holding it upasa proof that his policy
is weakening his own party, even in that j
part of the country where he is held in
greatest personal esteem? If his policy
is ignored at his ov n home, by his own
people, will strangers take him up and
embrace him? No doubt Mr. Hayes rc
i rets this result of hi# State election, and
feels vo. y solicitous as to what now, will
the end be. His opposers in his own
party, doubtless will lake advantage of
this defeat, and labor harder to elfect
their purposes, whatever tin y may be
Host's This for Honesty?
“Parson Clement—-You will please
stop this paper, as I do not wish to take
it any longer; we have news a plenty
about Trioa* T. M. Gukf.son.
Tlits note was handed us last Monday.
\Ve turned to our timing l ook, and found
that Mr. Urooson commenced taking the
Gazkitk, March Bth, 1877, and that lie
has not, paid a cent for it; yet, he has the
effrontery now, that lie has receive,! a
portion of our labor for over seven months
to say, “stop this paper,” without ever
saying “h re’s your money.”
Now, Mr. G. is one of a class of sub
scribers to all newspapers, willing to get
a mail’s labor, and never pay lor it. Is
it honest? Just as well might Mr. G. be
supplied with flour and meal from Judge
Allgood's mill for seven months on a
credit, and then turn round and say to
Allgood “stop sending this flour and
meal, we have plenty round where 1
stay. ”
When wc sent the paper to Mr. G. on
a credit, we thought, lie was honest
enough to pay for it. Now the law says:
“If subscribers order tho discontinu
ance of their periodicals, the publishers
may continue to send them until all ar
re a rages aro paid.
“If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their periodicals from the office to
which they are directed, they are held re
| sponsible until they have settled tacit*
j bills, and ordered them diseontimi. and.
The conns have decided that “nitustng
I to take periodicals from the office, or re
j moving ami 'leaving them uncalled for, i
I jirimn facie evidence ofintentionai I rand.
Now. if anybody else want 5 their name
in print, to see how it looks, just let mem
send us word to stop their pap.r bolero
it's paid ior.
Hayes is spreading himself around u
utuch as usual.
Tne Ba.nr.er County.
We sec it ■ tated that in Franklin county
in this Ft,ate, it is thought and believed
that the citiz ns of tho county will h vo
to “east lets,” or the ordinary of the
county will have to conscript some man
to re pro cut tlie county in the next legis
laturo.
All of a sudden all of her oittizonx,
without distinction of party, race “or
former condition of servitude,” have
found out that it will be impo. ibie for
them to leave home next winter, and,
strange to say, so stubborn aro they in
their decision, that the Impo of four dol
lars a day does is t move them Loin their
owed 1 ■ < , r maiuiii w Ui*lh .
families.
Why did they not let it be known j
earlier, that the county was so unfortun- ;
atcly situated? Ah! how many hundred.-j
arid thousands of the enlightened, well
qualified citizens of the State, would have
been willing to have served Franklin
county next winter. I- there, we a-k, in
all seriou-ti s, any district or n i .-.liber
hood in this State or a; y other State,
North or South, that could not have fur
nished a man w ho, at least, believed him
self qualified to serve that unfio tun
county. Ah! hew many well meamo"
men, who are now enjoying the coaif" rt
of home and the endearments of family
and friends would be willing if they could, !
to gito th r< lief of Franklin coney.
We know a district in on adj .ini ,v
county, where the land is .-o poor and the
surroundings everyway are. so uninterest
ing, that we have heard it said, n red
dent or stranger ever had an original j
idea within the confines of the dis
trict; yea, more, we have heard it said, ;
no man was ever known or exp.-otod to
tell tho truth, and justices of tho i ■ t •
always decide suits in the merits of the
ease regardless of evidence, hut we ven- :
turn the assertion, a man could I. ■ i- end j
in that district who believes himself every ;
way qualified for a seat in the next h-gi - |
laturo.
If Franklin county will adverti-e for a !
man to represent her wo honestly believe 1
there will not bo standing room on hot j
territory for the applicants an 1 very many j
would he heard speaking from the tree
tops urging their peculiar fitness ior tiie
position.
How it is.
The recent Democratic victory in Ohio,
may he taken as tile reflex’ ol tt.e result
in 1 sso. To shift responsibility is a .rai*
of character in the human ra • - since
Adam and Luo wto p! -e lin th G:r
den of K 1 tl.
Tho apology offered by tho opposition
for their defeat, is the apathy of the
Republican party, it suit ii g from ad -un
to show unmistakably tii-ir -1.-•:• >r*.M
of the policy of tliu Administration.
What policy is it the party ui.-ap; i vu-.’ i
Is it the effort of Mr. Hayes in try In - to
grind out North as well as South, tlie
passion# and halos engendered i-v the war. j
which brought the patty into being? Can j
the party expect to live tore', i r in the
garbage and refuse of a civil war? Or i
it the desire of the leader ol the party to
have no healthier political food? ihx.it j
let it peri h.
If any necessity ever did exist ior the
party at. all, that nece-.-tty has pa-sed,
and Mr, lloyes perhaps knows it. So do
his Cabinet; and the people are now
speaking in such thunder tones that they
also know it.
Mr. Hayes is doing nothing more than
carrying out and putting into practical j
operation tho measure contended for tram
the beginning by tho Democratic party;
measures for the restoration oi a more i
fraternal feeli i. between tho two sections ,
of the Government. What oi.-e lias Mr. I
Ilayes done, since he accepted the bit- lit
to So'-eii' I‘ivsidency, that ought to bring
down upon him the di.-approval t any
people or party, that and. sires a Govern ,
uient at peace, with a fit,-.! loved and re
spooled by all, and looked upon as an
ensign of oppression by none?
Conkliug, a man from whom the e.ran
try expected better tilings, and thoncht
it had a reasonable right to expect chat
he would turn his great intellect to a ;--.l
account in the settlement of his country > ;
troub.e. But ho has chosen to be b 1
away by his over-weening desue to render j
Mr 11 ayes odious, and himselt famous,
and finally bee -i.-> I’resident. He has •
run the rieketty old vehie.ie in the ditch
and there let it, and h:u> remain.
A Rat Old Family.
From an exchange wo clip the fo i ic
ing account oi "A bare O.d i mu., ,
which we give for the benefit of some oi
j tho children that may be lying around
| loose within the bv::uL of our eircula
] tion. Let the well disposed look out ior
; them.
“ There are many families in this world,
aud as many different names of tamiiios;
j and the names ot its uiemhers are signin
j cant; but the family is a voty aucictit
one, aud most ol tho people have heard
el their names; they aro scattered ail
i over tiie- world: are to be Sound in every
j neigh: ore. out, village, town an t city.
\,iw, in eider that me people may knew
t them i wt.t give tb.ctr names: The old
! gentleman's name is “Mr. Heard -So,”
the old lady’s name is “Mrs. They Say;"
they I. avo two daughters, whom? names
are “Mis-es Tell Tale and Tattle. ' They
have one n torimi-ly great old uncle,
whose name is “Report Say,” and one
aunt by the name of “Long Tongue,”
! and also a brother by the name of “I’ll
i Tull Your What I Heard,” who always
; prefaces what he is going to say with,
| “but don’t you toil it."
In comic tion with this “rare old f'ara
i ily,” I will give you a recipe that the
| fatuity uses to make proselytes: “Take
a weed called Run About, and an herb
| call- I Nimble Tongue, and a sprig of
I herb called l!a-k Bite. Simmer them in
l a liquid called Black Lie, strain them
through the rag of Deo.-pti m, put in a
bottle called News monger. Stir it well
with Imagination, let the patient take a
few doses; in a day or two he will be well
prepared to speak all manner of evil
against everybody he may sue.”

reach more than 73 per cent, of an aver

will exceed an average one. It grows
