From reliable sources we learn that
Col. Bell Mill very largely decrease
Mr. Speer’s majority in HaberslwwH.
The fall campaign is fast opening
in this section, and in a short while
things will be so hot that an iron
furnace *ll fall Mast well bo an ice

Col. James W. Robertson, of Ros
well, has been nominated for Con
gress by the Democrats of the 7th
district, on the ninth ballot. He is a
staunch democrat and one of the best
speakers in the State, and will make
a strong race.
Arter, the murderer of Susan Hill,
had his trial last week at Jefferson.
Messrs. Estes, Barrow and Maluiffy
defended the prisoner, and be had a
fair and impartial trial. The jury re
turned a verdict of guilty, and Arter
will be hung on the 29th of October

The supplemental report of the con
lit ion of crops of the United States,
since the last report in July, is a
gratifying statement of the favorable
prospects of an abundant cotton and
grain production, and is the harbinger
of peace and plenty throughout our
broad land.
Our county is sran 11, but. Col. Bell’s
majority in Banks will not fall below
two hnodivd and fifty. Mr. Speer has
steadily, lost ground since his last
race. At one time Mr. Turnbull was
so much displeased with his course in
Congress, as to announce in a public
meeting at Homer, that he would not
support him in the future.
Republican papers very generally
refuse to publish Hancock’s letter to
Sheridan. After having lied about it,
and clamored for it, they refuse to let
1 heir readers sec it now that it Ims
been furnished. But they have good
reason for tlie concealment. It can
not be expected that Republicans will
aid in circulating Democratic cam
paign documents.
The arrival of immigrants at New
York is perceptibly falling off. The
landing agent of Castle Garden says
that this is on account of the harvest
time in Europe, and that during Au
gust the number landed always shows
a decided falling off from the spring
months. The total number of immi
grants at New York wilt not this
month amount to more than 21,000
or 22,000.
One of the most active industries
of the ‘pocket’ district, of Indiana, is
the importation of Kentucky negroes
to be voted in the October election.
This is a Democratic district, now
represented by a German Republican
whose immense wealth enabled him
to defeat the Democratic candidate In
lf’7B. lie is now pitied against a
popular Gertnau Democrat, and finds
it necessary to call for reinforcements.
But he will not win this time.
Ex-Congressman Saylor and Ban
ning, of Cincinnati, both say they
< ontidenlly believe their party will
carry Ohio. The reason they give is
that the Democratic party is more
harmonious and united than ever be
lore, while the Republicans are some
what divided and doubtful; mid they
j > r t t > the Republican quarrel in the
< eveland disjrict (which the Demo
crats insist is as bitter as ever) and to
that in McMahon’s district, as proof
that the party is in a bail shape.

‘Trant said once at St. Louis, during
the war, “if I thought the war was
waged to interfere with slavery or
the institutions of the South, mid for
’ '■■thing ebc, 1 would tear off my
epaulettes and go home.’’ When he
was m Europe, in 1877, he declared
i’.rat the war was waged to exter
minate slavery and nothing else. As
the sequel proved, the Republican
administration certainly did not wage
the war to present the Union, for
the party has been trvlug to destroy
th; Vt.vu ever since ’|fte war closed.
O£R STANDARD BEARER.
With this issue we place at our
mast-head the name of the Standard
bearer of true Democracy— the nomi
nee, of the party—Hon. H. P. Bell.
The people know him. He has
represented them in two Congresses,
and not a blot can be produced
against his record. It is as pure as
the Alpine snows. He was never
absent from his post when important
measures—measures that were more
vital to bis people than any that
were pending before Congress. He
has always stood by his constituents,
and no other Georgian lias ever been
called upon to defend them in his
absence. No letter was ever written
him, which in due course of mail was
not answered, however humble the
author er trivial the matter. He has
never deserted the ship of Democracy
and piloted the Republicans on test
■questions between the parties in Con
gress. He has never been found run
ning with tins Democrats and barking
with the Republicans. He is a Demo
crat of the straightest sect, and does
not depend upon the Republicans to
secure his election. He has never
gone out of his district to have a
c«uriu appointed to a clerkship in
Congress.
Mr. Bell is in full accord with the
Democracy and the people. He
knows our wants and will always be
found laboring to secure them. He
iis a man of the people, and nothing
that will advance their interest will
lag in his hands. When we fly Han
cock and English’s banner, let us
also see that when the ides of No
vember shall move them to the
White House, that our Congressman
will be in full sympathy and accord
with the great political and time
honored party of the Nation. I« ;
this cause will we labor until the
poUs are closed on election day, and
tin owe lexicon wc shall know no swell
wold as fail.
B. F. SVDDATH.
We hoist this week the above gen
tleman’s name for Senator in this
District. While on all questions
where any principle is involved wc
are with the organized democracy,
but In this race we see no necessity
for a nomination and less desire on
the part of our people, for one, as was :
shown by the meagre attendance at |
Gillsville, yesterday. Mr. Suddath is ■
a democrat, and while he is running i
without a nomination, should he lx: ■
elected, he will battle for the grand
old Constitutional party of this coun
try. He cannot be made the tool of
to stab the democratic party in the
back.
lie has held several public trusts,
and always discharged them faith
fully and to the entire satisfaction of
his people. Ho is certainly the choice
of this county for the position, and if
the rotation system is to prevail then
our people’s wishes should be sacred.
Believing he represents the majority
of the people of Banks, and is their
choice, wc shall give him our cordial
support,
Mr. I). T. Bush, the nominee of the
Gillsville Convention, is a good demo
crat, and one of our best citizens. He
will run well, but will not get votes
enough to take a seat in the next
State Senate.

Boston’s two hundred and fiftieth
anniversary is to be celebrated on
the 17th of September, and the affair
bids fair to be one of very large pro- I
portions. Generals Hancock and Gar
field have been invited, and should
both attend it is proposed to have j
‘ them in a barouche together in the |
great procession. There is to be a |
splendid military display, including ,
three or four of the crack regiments
from New York city.
One of the census enumerators, in
i sending in bis returns to the office in
I Washington city, drew a picture of a
■ second Dr. Tanner, and put under it:
(“Four weeks and I have seen no pay.

; starving,” Gen. Walker took in the
■joke, and endorsed the paper as sols
■lows: "Save this man's life. Make
bis account special;” <t was made
I special, and the enumerator is now
able to get a square meal.

COLQUITT OR NORWOOD.
The unfortMiatekiction and division
Iff (lie.late State Ctffivenllon have put
everything at sen. f The noble Demo
cratic party in this State is severed in
twain and divided up into factions.—
One wing is represented by Colquitt
i and the other by Norwood. Now
| the question is, “Under which King,
Bctonian?” Neither of these gen
tlemen have received a regular nom
ination, but nre each put forth by
; their respective friends. It is a sort
■of free fight. Personalism, and the
i word applies to both, has destroyed
the organization and harmony of the
party. We wash our hands of it, and
earnestly hope, after the election, all
i Democrats will again come together
■in a spirit of good will. Such would
; have been the case now, if our humble
j voice and the wishes, as we honestly
. believe, of the great mass of the ps>
■ pie had been heeded In time. The
! nomination of General L. J. Gartreil
, would have harmonized the parly —
given satisfaction to all sections and
i sccwed the services of an Executive
I competent, honest and faithful in the
discharge of every trust. He is in all
‘ respects the peer of any man in the
State. But it is too kite now. Wc
j shall wait and see what wc shall sec.
Colquitt or Norwood? That’s the
question for the. people to decide.
——
It is stated that the Washington
arsenal will very soon be taken from
the hands of tlic ordnance department
and turned over to the care of Gon.
Sherman, in order that he may be
able to establish a large garrison of
troops at the National Capital. This
looks like danger ahead, and that tin:
.administration proposes to do what
would have been done by Grant had
Mr. Tilden been declared President
by the House of Representatives in
1877. The arsenal in question is the
depository of large military stores,
placed there by the government to
supply the entire military establish
ments of the country, including vol
unteers and militia. The only object
of this move is to have under the
shadow of the capital a large body of
armed men, ready to obey the orders
of the General of the army, even
should these onlers be the subversion
of the rights of the people and of the
republic. Hayes and Sherman bad
best beware, the country is nut yet
ready to consent to this shameful
usurpation. If Hancock is elected he
will be sealed.—Savannah News.

Colonel W. G. Whidby, of Atlanta,
formerly connected with the press of
that city, but now associated with the
Air Line Railway Company, is In the
city, and honored us with a call. He
is doing everything to promote
and advance, the material interests
and development of the Piedmont
section and of the State of Georgia.
He is very practical in his views, and
has done much to stimulate the rais
ing of rice, the grasses, etc., in this
part of the country. We. learned
from him, incidentally, that as there
was a vacancy in the Secretaryship of
the Georgia Agricultural Society, his
friends had used his name.iu connec
tion therewith. As he- is most com
petent for the position, and as it
would give him a wider sphere of
Usefulness, in the promotion of the
agricultural interests of his state and
also of this portion of the Carolinas,
we trust he will be chosen—. Gree
nville (S. C.) Star.
Colonel Whidby is an indefatigable
worker, and there is no man in Geor
gia that could till the position of Sec
retary of the Agricultural Society
better than W. G. Whidby.
Garfield needn't smile over the row
in the Democratic household in Geor
gia. There are about 175,060 voters
here that will take no stock in vindi
cating him. If ho wishes to increase
the number, let him send Weaver
down to tnlk to the boys Sparta
Ishmaelite.
The Southern people need have no
fears of the result of the census. The
official report gives the South an in
crease in population of 33 per cent,
and instead of losing, a few Congress
men will be gained.

THE CENSUS RETURNS.
The AVashington correspondent of
1 the Baltimore Sun says :
“The Republicans have worked
' themselves up into a high pitch of
1 excitement over the census returns
i published io some of the Southern
Democratic newspapers, showing a
■ heavy increase in population in many
'of the Southern States during the i
past ten years. As outlined in the J
dispatches to the Bcm, there is a ays-!
tematic attempt oti the part of the ’
I Ridical leaders to get the impression !
out tliat gross frauds have been per- ’
j petrated, and that a new census in
the South must be had. There is
j alarm all over the faces of the Re
' publicans, and President Hayes came
;in for a great deal of abuse for hav- 1
! ing appointed part of the supervisors
;of the census in the South from the
Democratic party. If these men, who
are so quick to discern fraud before
the returns crime in, have expected
to intiniklnte Gen. Walker, the super- i
j intendant of the sensns, and to get him
j to commit himself to the statement
! that the census officers in the South
have failed to do their duty, they are
likely to meet with disappointment.
“Gen. Walker says that he docs not i
deal in guesses, but in facts, and that
he bad no reason to be dissatisfied
with the work done, and if any frauds
have been committed another count ■
would be ordered to be taken by ■
■ honest men. It was possible that in
■ thirty-one thousand enumeration dis-
I tTicts there have been a few men who
have acted dishonestly: but their
‘work was easily remedied. General
I Walker took occasion to say that so ,
: far as he could now judge the census
iin the South had been fairly con-'
i ducted, and he saw no cause for com- i
I plaint. This is not the kind of talk |
j wanted by the Republican politicians,
i who feel that considerable capital can
| be made by starting the cry through
the North that the South has perpe- .
trated gross frauds In order to in-
i . reuse her political power in the next ,
■ Ilqusc of Representatives. This kind
'of ammunition is Just suited forcer- ,
lain localities in the North, and will ,
serve to tire the Northern heart to
the proper campaign pitch. The posl- ,
lion taken by Gen. Walker will some-11
| what weaken the ardor of all engaged !,
in pushing the cry of ‘fraud.’ ”
A singular question has arisen in
: the postoflice department. A post-1 (
master in South Carolina reftises to I
■ m:ike up and deliver mail on Sunday j
!to the railroad which passes through ,
his town, lie dexliues upon cunscien- ,
tious grounds to do any labor on Suu- ■,
<lay. The departnieut ordered him .
i peremptorily to make up and deliver .
the mails on Sunday as on other days.
In reply to this he writes :i remark
able letter, equal to some of the
epistles of the early Christians which ■
have come down to ns. He defends
his position with ability and seal. In 1
conelusiiMi he. asks, if decapitation is ■
to follow refusal, he be allowed thirty j
I <lays to make up his mind. Jtwlge Key ,
, has given him that time to make up :
his mind ami will leave the question |,
to be settled by Postmaster General '
Maynard, who hs a deacon in the same I
church that the South Carolina post-1
master belongs to. Deacon Maynard > (

WASniA’GTON LETTER.
\Frunt O»r Heyulor <'orr<'» : 'On<<eiit,]
Wasiungtox, D. C., August 14.
Since I last wrote, Mr. Garfield lias
stumped the State of New York, and
uttered nioie gu.-.b, drivel and plati
tude than almost any other American
is capable of crowding into the same
time and space. Mr. Garfield has
been in prominent public life for
eighteen years without having ex
pressed an original idea or a sugges
tive sentence. What a contrast is his
oratorical bosh to those luminous,
courageous, patriotic speeches
made by the late Mr. Greeley. In
one of his recent speeches he enlight
ened his audience, which by the way,
was not composed of Sunday-school
children, upon the reasons why tiger*,
bears ami lions, though warlike, do not
erect monuments to their dead heroes.
The truth is. that Gen. Garfield is in
tellectually as well ns morally limp.
I know that many will be Incredulous
on this point, and ask the question
how can a man devoid of the highest
moral and intellect attributes be the
candidate of the party of progress
and moral ideas. But th<- questioner
forgets that progress and moral ideas
are merely traditions with the modern
Republican party, and that the party
now has but one idea—to hold on to
the 100,000 officers by fraud or force.
To this eml an amorphous pulp} - man
like Garfield, who can be moulded
into any desired temporary shape
will suit. For the sake of these
offices the supreme bench of the
I'nited States was prostituted to a
political machine; the voice of the
people was stifled, and every Ameri
can, whether Republican or Demo
crat, was as basely outraged as if an
European prince had fortified himself
in the White House and rewarded the
conspirators who, under the forms of
a post facto law made his usurpation
possible. The American people were
in a line state of indignation four years
ago. and it w’ill soon be seen whether
tbeir righteous rage has cooled, and
whether their kecu sense of wrong
has been blunted by time and good
crops. The issue is wonderfully de
slinct. It would seem as though
Providence had selected ns a candi
date one of the tainted visiting states
men. one of the electoral eight, in
order that the wayfaring voter need
not err iu bis ballot. The election
will at least settle one question, and
the history of the world has never
presented a more momentous one. It
is the question of elective franchise,
of self-government. If Mr. Garfield
shall be elected it will be proved con
clusively that the majority can find
no vindication in the ballot box—that
there is no remedy for the most out
rageous of usurpations, and thousands
sick of the farce of popular govern
ment, will not go to the polls again.
55 hen Mr. Tilden was not renomi
nated, the Republican press claimed
that the fraud issue had been ignored.
Ihe fraud issue involves more than
the political fortune of Mr. Tilden—
it involves the political fortunes of
the American people. The Republi
can party have given sufficient coh
spiciuuisness to the issue in nominat
ing a visiting statesman, and a mem
ber of the electoral commission.
J be New \ ork Tribune has begun
to print a list of alleged murders in

suggests that if the Tribune really
wants a good bloody, blood-curdling
record ot crime, let it print a list of
murders which have occurred in New
1 ork city during that period, or in
the State of Pennsylvania, and it will
, find that there are twenty murders
perpetrated there to every one in the
