'“county convention!
At the request of a large number of the
citizens of Upson county, a convention of
the county is called, to be held at the Court
House, on Saturday, the first day of Oc
tober next, for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for the House of Representatives.
A general attendance on the part of the
people is earnestly urged, that the deliber
ations of the convention may he harmonious
and the result satisfactory. Come one,
come all !
The convention, when it assembles, will
determine the manner of selecting a candi
date, but it is suggested by a great many
citizens that the selection be made by bal
lot.
CONVENTION.
On Saturday last, 27th ult, at a meeting
of the Democrats of this county, held at the
same place (Thomaston) the following
gentlemen were selected delegates to attend
the Fourth Congressional District Conven
tion to be held at Forsyth, on Wednesday,
the 21st day of the present month, (Sep
tember,) to nominated candidates for the
unexpired term of the 41 st Congress and
for the fall term of the 42d Congress: E.
A. Flewellcn, W. T. Weaver, delegates;
Wilson Sawyer, B. 0. McKenney, alter
nates.
In the Senate on Wednesday last on its
third reading, a bill to revise the charter
privilege of the Barnesville, LaOrange and
Oxford Railroad, was lost.
A bill to alter State laws in relation to
collection of taxes in Talbot county, was
passed in tho House on Monday last. Also
a bill to incorporate Protection Hook and
Ladder Company, of Talbotton.
We wonder how long friend Fitch of the
Oriffiu Star has been on such familiar
terms with the Stephens brothers. He
speaks of them as “Aleck'' and “Lint.”
though either is old enough to be his father.
A present, or the promise of it, has in
duced Representative Schenck, of Ohio, to
accept the re-nomination for Congress—
slo,ooo was the sum paid to him, most of
whieh came anywhere else than from the
pockets of his friends.
TnE coming election in Louisiana will be
held this year without military intervention.
They are afraid to try the experiment
Holden and his worshippers tried in North
Caroline with such ill success. Louisiana
votes on the Ist of November.
A resolution restraining sheriffs and
O'her officers, from levying fi. fas foundel
on debts contracted prior to June 18th,
1865 until the adjournment of that body,
has passed both branches of the Legisla
ture.
The negro candidates for office recently
nominated by the Radicals at tba State
Convention in Alabama, are exceedingly
anxious to “take the stump,” and with that
object in view, are teaching themselves to
speak pieces, &c. The canvass will un
doubtedly be an interesting and animated
one.
Thus far the only Democratic paper in
the State which sustains the views express
ed in the letter of the Hon. Linton Stephens,
is the Constitutionalist. All the others
appear to be unreserved in their condemna
tion of it. They give him credit for con
siderable ability, but questions bis sound
judgment and discretion.
Judge Linton Stephens has written
another letter, this time to the Constitution,
in which he declines acting as Chairman
of the Executive Committee, as he has been
informed that there was not a qnorutn of
the Committee present when he was elected.
The letter is mainly an explanation of the
first one.
Tiie Griffin Star makes the excellent
point that while the Hon. Linton Stephens
accepts his election as Chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Committee by
only four members of the Committee, still
he says these four could not pass a resolu
tion binding the party, because they did
not constitute a quorum.
In South Carolina the negroes have in
almost every instance succeeded in carring
away nominations for office against the
threats and entreaties of their white con
testants. The next General Assembly in
that State promised to be a speckled sort of
a concern—a mixture of white, black aud
yeilov The Hamites insist upon the loaves
and fishes.
SHARP.
The greatest advertising dodge on record
—the nomination of Dr. 11. T. Ilelmbold,
of New York, as a candidate for the Presi
dency by Democrats of Monmouth county,
New Jersy. “Ilelmbolu, Ilelmbold 1 Why
who is Ilelmbold?” “Don’t know Helm-
Quid, the Buchu man, who has made a
princely fortune by advertising—don’t
know who Ilelmbold is?” Why, its ’ston
ishing.
SAD.
“How art the mighty fallen." South
Carolina papers are making comments upon
a sad aod solemn scene recently exacted in
Charleston —the marriage of Mrs. Susan
Petigru King to one C. C. Bowen, an ad
senturer from Rhode Is and, and Republi
can candidate for Congress from one of the
South Carolina districts. Mrs: King is
the daughter of James L. Petigru, one of
the most distinguished lawyers the South
has produced and the widow of a distin
guished member of the Charleston bar.
Papers’unite in calling it the most m< urnfu
picture of Radical Reconstruction.”
THE MAN.
Among the few ‘eligibles’ who have been
named as candidates to represent the Fourth
Congressional District of this State in the
42th Congress, we know of no one who would
receive heartier support from the people,
than the gentleman whoso came we have
taken the liberty to place at our mast head
—the lion. J as. S. B jynton, of Griffin,
lie is eminently well qualified for the posi
tion, and without disparagement to others
we think we may confidently assert, that
no nomination made at Forsyth would prove
so gratifying to this District, than his.
Modest and unpretentious in his deport
ment, no one is more decided and earnest
in his convictions. lie is comparitively a
young, man, full of zeal and enthusiasm
lie is an ab’e lawyer, enjoying a lucrative
piactice. Few better speakers can be found
in the State. llis know ledge of parliamen
tary law is extensive. llis record is untarn
ished. He is from the people and his inter
ests ate identified with theirs. In every
sense of the word he is a REPRESENT \-
TIYE MAN. We respectfully but earnest
ly urge his nomination by the Forsyth
Convention.
SELECT “ELIGIBLES ”
Any other policy persued by the Demo
cracy of Georgi«, and indeed all Southern
States, will result in our total discomfiture,
when the time comes to seal duly elected
candidates. There are strong men no
doubt, under disabilities, who would call
out a strong vote, but that is not the ques
tion. Would they be allowed by the
dominant faction in Congress to occupy
the seats they were chosen to fill ? No.
Not so long as a single excuse can be found
for depriving them of this right, will they
be permitted to enroll their names on the
journuls of the Houses of Congress. Men
ao!e and in every manner qualified to rep
resent us at Washington, oat. be found
without great difficulty in each Congress
ional District, against whom the objection
of “unremoved disability” cannot be used.
Trust nothing to the magnanimity of Con
gress. Make no foolish experiments. We
are not in a position to throw away chances
for success, and certainly to follow the ad
vice of Judge Stephens seem worse than
throwing away time spent in selecting and
voting for candidates who cannot serve if
elected—it is allowing the country and the
State to be plundered for another term of
years, by the members of a sectional party,
which lives only by the corruption of its
unholy leaders. Choose men who have
always been eligible, or if ineligible, have
had their disabilities removed, and as they
cannot be denied admission to Congress
they will take their seats, and from this
beginning, a few short years will suffice to
completely change the complection of po
litical affairs, and insure the occupancy of
positions of trust by honest and representa
tive persons.
DISTRICT CONVENTION.
Pursuant t<*a call the delegates from the
eounties of Harris, Talbot and Upson, as
sembled at the Court House in Talbotton,
for the purpose of nominating a Democratic
candidate for the 25th Senatorial District.
On motion Col. A. W. Redding, of Har
ris, was called to the Chair, and J. F. C.
Williams, of Harris, requested to act as
Secretary.
On the call of counties the following del
egates appeared :
Harris—Col. A. W. Redding, Marshall
O’Neal, R. D. Little, and J. F. C. Williams.
Upson—Janies W. Atw ater, D. W. Wam
ble, and T. S. Sharman.
Talbot—E. 11. Worrell, Henry Persons,
L F. McLaughlin, and Isaac Cheney.
A motion was made by R. D. Little, of
Harris, that the selection of a Candidate be
made by rotation of the counties comprising
the District, which motion prevailed.
After consultation, the county of Talbot
presented the name of Dr. William P.
Mathews, of Talbot, who was unanimously
nominated by acclamation.
On motion, E. 11. Worrell, Isaac Cheney,
and T. S. Sharman, were appointed a com
mittee to notify Dr. Mathews of the nomin
ation, and request his acceptance.
The meeting then adjourned.
A. W. Redding. Chairman.
J. F. C. Williams. Secretary.

Ed. Herald: Amid the peculiar strategy
and wire-working of office hunters allow
one from the “dark corner” to suggest the
name of a gentleman who is in every re
spect worthy and well qualified to represent
the people of Upson in the next General
Assembly. He has never held any office
at all, and consequently is eligible. He
has never sought an office, but on the con
trary has rather spurned them. Should he
be selected, nominated and elected, he will
fill the position with honor to his county
and constituents. Elder John D;c-.ev, is
the man for the times be is th.* people's
choice. Harmony

Mr. Editor : Through your columns, I
wish to introduce to the public an infant
establishment, located in the vicinity of
M ddlebrooks and Blalock’s mill. Th *
locatio . has been happily selected. It i*
situated near the bank of a small creek,
favored by ua'ure with declivous hills,
large ruck* aod musical shoals, which im
part an air of romance to entertain the
mind of the fastidious clerk during the
calms in business. The surrounding cir
cumstances aod scenery, furnish at early
morn and eve. ample materials for his
meditative mind.
Judging from appearances, from the
great variety of articles, dry goods, grocer
ies and patent medicines, I suppose it to be
a “mixtury.” No doubt it is intended by
its enterprising master, to meet the wishes
and demands of the people at large.
If the young ladies desire something to
adorn their persons, ami produce comfort
for the winter, let them fail not to visit this
new store. If the farmer shall be short of
groceries aud provisions for the gratification
of “CufFs” appetite, let him send down his
teams and carry away abundant supplies.
Jf the feeble and delicate wish something
to revive and invigorate the system, let
them try some of the patent medicine. Do
not tarry gentlemen ! Andy Johnson and
Webb’s stock would be insignificant com
pared with this select assortment. If you
delay, you are blind to your own interest.
Now is your time to lay in your supply for
the fall, and in so doing, you do not only
advance your own interest but you contrib
ute immeasurably and invaluably to the
advancement and enterprise in this part of
the Lord’s moral vineyard. Tilts notice is
intended i o" only for the imn e liate vicinity,
but the entire county of Upson and the
surrounding counties, Monroe, Talbot,
Pike, etc For the farther satisfaction of
those who rnay desire to invest a few hun
dred in the mercantile or grocery line, I
feel it necessary to state the more important
articles which, no pains, trouble or expense
have been spared to accumulate.
This commodious building is well furn
ished with one sack of salt, two diminutive
jars of candy, five pounds of tobacco, two
dozen vials of patent medicines, three bolts
of dry goods and one dollar and fifty cents
wortLof sugar and coffee each. It contains
also one tin water-bucket, waehpan and
dipper. Shoes and ready-made clothing
perhaps are expected soon. A lot of pork
may also he expected, since the pea is in
front of the establishment. But I should
he administering injustice not to allude to
the accomplished and gallant Clerk.
Though he is a novice in the practical part,
and has never been drilled in the theoreti
cal; though be may grumble that custom
ers render his books difficult to. keep and
his calculations stilt m >re difficult to make,
bv purchasing the very large sums of five
and ten cents’ worth, lie will always be
ready and eager to get behind the veil,
whieh is intended to exclude the rude gaze
of the world from scenes and secrets that
should be kept sacred and inviolate.
CUSTOMERS.
The following circular was handed us
by the polite Clerk of the Superior Court,
which we insert without the addition of
comments. The thing explains itself.
Evidently somebody is afraid of getting
huit, and it is not the people. Next election
will tell the whole story. The whole thing
is a scare :
Executive Department, Atlanta )
Aug., 19th, 1870. \
Sir : The Attorney General of the United
States has instructed the District Att Tneys
for the several District Courts of the U lited
States to prosecute all persons holding i ffice
in violation of the 3d secuon, 14th Amend
ment. to the Constitution of the United
States
The act to enforce the 15th Amendment
contains a section, placing a penalty of one
thousand dollars’ fine and twelve months’
imprisonment upon persons woo hold office
and are disqualified by the 14th Amend
ment.
That section is as follows:
Section 15. And be it further enacted,
That any person who shall hereafter know
ingly accept or hold any office under the
United Siates, or any State, to which he is
ineligible under the third section of the
Fourteenth Article of Amendment of the
Constitution of the United States, or who
shall attempt to hold or exercise the duties
of any such office, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor against the United States,
and, upon convict.on thereof before the
Circuit or District Court of the United
States, shall be imprisoned not more than
one year, or fined not exceeding one thous
and dollars, or flotli, at the discretion of the
Court.
The 3d section of the 14th Amendment
is as follows :
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator
or Representative in Congress, or Elector of
President and Vice-Presinent, or hold any
office, civil or military, under the United
States, or under any State, who, having
previously taken an oath, as a member of
Congress, or as an officer of the United
States, or as a member of any State Legis
lature, or as an executive or judicial officer
of arty State, to support the Constitution of
the United States, shall have engaged in
insurrection or rebellion against the same,
or given aid or comfort to the enemies there
of. But Congress may, by a vote of two
thirds of each house, remove such disabili
ty-
I am instructed to invite your attention
to these several acts, with the suggestion
that if you are satisfied that you are disqual
ified by the 3d section of the 14th Amend
ment, it would he advisable for you to re
sign your office and thereby prevent the
United Sratps Attorneys from taking action
in your case before the Courts.

New Orleans, Sept. 12.—The Demoera

tion of interest turned on the admission of
colored delegates, of whom some twenty
were pre>cnt. A motion that the question
of admitting colored delegates be separated
from that of admitting whites was, alter a

adopting the report of the Committee on
Credentials, admitting them on the same
footing as whites, will come up to-inorrow.
The impression is that it will be adopted
by an overwhelming majority.
Lewiston, Me., Sept. 12.—The vote is

Paris, Sept. 11.—Spain has officially

London, Sept. 12.—Two formidable pop.-
ular demonstrations took place here to-day
in favor of the French Republic and against
monarchy at home and abroad -one in
Hyde Park and one at St. James Hall. The
imbecility of the British Government was
strongly denounced and the speakers charg
ed the Queen by name with encouraging
the King of Prussia in his march to France
for the purpose of destroying the young Re
public. A proposition to suppress the
Queen's name was received w ith a tempest
of hisses. A voice in the crowd cried
“Three groans for the Prince of Wales."
The response was universal and passionate.
The aspect of the crowd, at one time, was
really appabing. A better class of the
people as.-embled at St. James Ilall. Their’
resolutions denounce King William’s incon
sisteney in his advance upon Paris, after
the announcement that the war was not up
on the French people. The speakers said
the English Government was hostile t*>
France—not because she loves G many,
but hates Republic:!' ism and fears ii. The
Government of England has not recognized
the Republic in France, but the day is at
hand when the French Republic would be
called upon to recognize the Republic ot
England.
The British journals urge intervention by
the English Government as a duty and
right, the neglect of which would involve
dishonor.
It is rumored Russia insists upon an ar

German scholars are in company with the

The Radicals in Alabama.—The New
York Commercial Advertiser, a Radical
paper, gives us this bit of good news from
Alabama: Radicals from Alabama report
the political situation in that State as quite
desperate. There is but one Congressional
district which tney are certain of carrying
next fall. With a thorough organization,
and a large colored population ready to do
their bidding, why is this thus? From
good authority we learn that Alabama car
pet-baggery has become so foul that even
nigger noses turn up at it. One of those
essential white scalawags who throng around
the spoils of office as the vulture hovers
over the battlefield, was urging a darkey
on the steps of the Battle House at Mobile
just before the last election, to vote for him
under promise of giving his colored friends
all the fat positions he could command.
“Yah ! yah laughed the well-initiated
freed man, “dis chile ain't gwine to hab dat
cum nber him no more. You jes keep on
dat sort cb talk, and de color’d gemmen
and >wn ht-ah dinks by an' by dat all de whites

cy bad certainly much to inspire it.
