I'll r ItSOA V MOHNINU, OCT. IH, 1H77. 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.” ♦ . •>- The National As-iiated I’rtss, com. muiiicating to the Cincinnati Shir, under date of the 13th in-t., from Washington, I).

The C'.- iiuii'sioiier of Agriculture, T. P. Janes, has laid upon our table Circular No. 4 , Reports of Crops for the month of September. In reference to cotton, lie says the prospect seems not so good as one month ago; the yi> M may not reach more than 73 per cent, of an aver age crop. Sorghum is the only crop that will exceed an average one. It grows well and produces remunerative crops on verv ordinary soil—di.es still bettor on rich—is very easy of cultivation, requires inexpensive machinery, and the syrup properly made, i- a valuable and he till y food.
