FRIDAY, November 10,1871.
FOR GOVERNOR:
Col. HERBERT FIELDER,
OF RANDOLPH.
The Sheriff is now running the
Atlanta True Georgian.
Macon. — ln Macon Wednesday
evening the market closed at 16 2
for middlings. New York, 18£.
Changes.— Dr. O. L. Smith, has
been elected President of Emory
College, and Dr. E. H. Myers, for
seventeen years past editor of the
Southern Christian Advocate, takes
• his place as President of Wesleyan
Female College, at Macon.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee met in Atlanta Tuesday
and directed the Chairman to call a
Convention of the party to nomi
nate a candidate for Governor, so
soon as the bill providing for an
election passes the Legislature.
Declines. —lion. Clifford A nder
son very wisely declines the nomi
nation for Governor,’ mainly be
cause of his inelligibility under the
late constitutional amendment. It
seems to us that no true Georgian
who is a well wisher of his State,
can consistently act otherwise.
Tiie details of the Brazilian eman
cipation law are as follows : Chil
dren born after the proclamation are
free. Various provisions are made
for the benefit of those still held in
slavery. Religious corporations
were emancipating their slaves, and
many private slave-owners were
moving in the same direction and
converting them into free tenants,
or freeing them upon condition of
lour years’ service.
Col. Herbert Fielder. We
notice that Col. Fielder is favorably
spoken of in various portions of the
State, in connection with the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor.—
The time has come when people
are beginning to look outside ot po
litical cliques and rings tor men to
fill places of public trust. The in
terests at stake are of too grave a
nature to be entrusted to the hands
of professional ring-politicians.
Col. Fielder is not a man to intrigue
and wire pull for any position. He
is, verily, one of the people —the
people’s man—and no more faithful
guardian of the people’s interests
could be placed by them in this re
sponsible position.
The Dawson Fair.
Last Wednesday morning found
us a “ part and parcel ” of a large
crowd of good-looking Cutlibcrt
people aboard the train, on our way
to the first annual Fair of the Ter
rell County Agricultural and In
dustrial Association. Accompany
ing our party was a battalion of
yonth and beauty from Andrew Fe
male College, under the care of sev
eral of the teachers.
Under the careful management
of everybody’s friend, conductor
Dasher, we wero safely landed at
our destination within an hour, and
soon everybody felt at homo among
tho clever, neighborly people of
Dawson. A walk of fifteen minutes
brought us to the gates of the fair
grounds,which were already throng
ed with interested spectators. Tim
Cuthbert delegation were met at the
entranco by that splendid brass
band, of which Dawson is so justly
proud, and marched to Floral Hall
in princely stylo. Then came a gen
eral breaking of rauks, a mix, a
scatteration and a hand shaking all
round.
Notwithstanding the short time
for preparation, and the many dis
advantages under which the society
has labored, in getting ready for the
occasion, the grounds and race track
•were in fine order, and the ;t weU
done, people of Terrell,” was heard
on every hand. Going into the tem
porary exhibition rooms we found
them tastily arranged, with many
things of worth and utility in the
various departments. Conspicuous
in the department of fine arts, were
several master pieces of painting,
by Miss Lester, of this city ; and in
other departments, the fair ladies of
Cuthbert were very creditably rep
resented.
The display of stock, though not
exceedingly large, was very interest
ing. There were some fine horses,
a variety of hogs, a respectable
show in the chicken line, etc.
Considering the slmrt time in
which the arrangements were made,
and all the disadvantages, wc think
their first fair may be put down as
a success. It shows what the good
people of Terrell could do, under
more favorable circumstance, and
what they will do next year.
The address of lion. Thos. Harde
man was a perfect gem, and could
not have been more appropriate in
any respect.
Our limited space forbids a de
tailed account.

Conley, Acting Governor
of* Georgia.
Bonj. Conley, having been brought
into prominence by the resignation
of Bullock—lie being President of
the Senate at the time—it will be
interesting to many readers to learn
something of his pedigree. We get
the information from the Hew Era :
Benjamin Conley was born in the
city ot Newark, New Jersey, March
1, 1815, and is consequently in his
57 th year.
On the first of January, 1830, he
moved to Augusta, Georgia, and en
gaged in mercantile pursuits. In
18,42 he married Miss Sarah H.
Seinmes, of Washington, Georgia, a
member of a family whose name is
inseparably interwoven with the his
tory of the South during the oast
o *
eventful decade.
In 1845 Mr. Conley was chosen
a member of the City Council of
Augusta, and was successively re
elected for ten terms until the year
1857, when lie was chosen Mayor
of that city. Xu the following year
he was re-elected to the same hon
orable and responsible office without
opposition.
In IS6I, after the breaking out of
the war, lie retired from business
and removed temporarily from Au
gusta to his plantation ia the neigh
borhood of Montgomery, Alabama,
where he remained, engaged in tiie
quiet and congenial pursuits of the
farmer until the close of the war,
when, in iB6O, he returned to Au
gusta and resumed business. In
1867 Mr. Conlej- was appointed by
Major General Pope a member of
the City Council of Augusta, and
while occupying that position he
was elected one of the ltadical dele
gates from the 18th Senatorial Dis
trict to the Constitutional Conven
tion of Georgia, called in pursuance
of the Deconstruction Acts of Con
gress.
After the adjournment of the
Convention he was elected to the
State Senate from the Eighteenth
District, and upon the assembling
of that body, in July, 1868, he was
elected President.
He was again chosen President
of the State Senate in 1870, when
the Legislature of Georgia assem
bled in Atlanta, and was organized
in accordance wth the provisions
of the act of Congress of Decem
ber 22, iB6O.
By virtue of his position as pre
siding officer of the State Senate,
he was installed, on the 30th day of
October, 1871, as Governor of Geor
gia, to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the resignation of the former in
cumbent, R. B. Bullock.
The candidates for Governor
multiply. Among the new candi
dates mentioned are C. B. Wooten,
M. A. Candler, and J. M. Smith.
Conley’s Message lo the
legislature.
Executive Department, [
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 4, 1871. j
To the Senate and House of Bepre
sentatioes:
The unexpected resignation of
his Excellency, Governor Bullock,
has devolved upon me, as President
of the Senate, the exercise of the
functions pertaining to the Execu
tive Department.
In entering upon the discharge
of this laborious and responsible
task at tills exciting period in our
history, 1 can but express the diffi
dence which I feel in assuming this
weighty responsibility. I enter upon
the discharge of these duties, how
ever, with the fixed purpose that I
will, during the limited period of
my official term, do all in my power
to promote peace, harmony and
good will among our people, and to
advance the best interests of the
State.
While it is well known to you
and the people of Georgia, that I
have been, and am now, a consistent
and unyielding Republican, I shall
not, in the discharge of my execu
tive duties, permit politics to have
anything whatever to do with my
conduct.
* * * * * * *
It seems to me that we have had
enough of wrangling and strife, and
crimination and recrimination. The
country needs repose and quiet,
which can never be promoted by
continually fomenting political strife.
We have had experience enough to
demonstrate that nothing has been
gained to the people of the South
by the adoption of a defiant and
boisterous course, while the power
rests the government backed by a
vast majority of the people of tho
Union. Under these circumstances,
it is my sincere wish that every de
partment of the government of this
State, and every class of people,
may so shape their conduct that
there may be no reason for any dec
laration of martial law, any suspen
sion of the writ of habeas counts,
or any further reconstruction. If
the people of the South will be law
abiding and law-enforcing, and lay
aside all extreme measures, my opin
ion is that the day is not far distant
when the Congress of the United
States will proclaim by act univer
sal amnesty, thereby restoring eve
ry citizen of the South to tho full
measure of citizenship, witli all the
rights pertaining to the same. This
is a consummation devoutly to be
hoped for at the earliest day possi
ble.
FINANCES.
The taxes arc much higher than
they were before the war, while the
property owned by the people of
the State, upon which taxes are to
be paid, is infinitely less. Under
these circumstances it is a question
well worthy the attention of every
department of the government how
we may so administer the affairs of
the State as to impose the lightest
burdens upon the people, and se
cure the greatest efficiency in the
administration of public affairs.
In my opinion, it is the imperative
duty of the Legislative and Execu
tive Departments of the Govern
ment, to do everything that can be
done consistently with reason and
an enlightened policy to reduce tax
ation, and remove the burdens un
der which onr people now groan.
To this end it' is my fixed purpose
to curtail all unnecessary expenses
in every matter connected with my
department, to cut off all super
numeraries, if any be found, from
positions, and to administer the af
fairs of the Executive Department
upon principles of the strictest econ
omy, not expending a single dollar
unless it is actually necessary to do
so. In this matter I trust and be
lieve I shall have the hearty co-op
oration of the General Assembly,
and that you will so shape your leg
islation as to satisfy the people of
the State that the government is in
the hands of those who have re
gard for their interest, and who are
determined to remove from them
every burden which is not absolute
ly necessary to be borne.
011 account of the short period
since I entered upon my executive
duties, I am unable to give to the
General Assembly a statement of
the public debt, or to inform you of
the dispositi ,n made of the bonds
of the State authorized by the Gen
eral Assembly to be issued. I will
however, take prompt steps to in
quire into the whole matter, and
most earnestly urge upon the Leg
islative Department of the Govern
ment to make thorough investiga
tion into this matter, and I will
most cheerfully give all the aid of
the Executive brahch of the Gov
ernment so as to have this impor-,
tant subject fully and clearly under
stood.
EXECUTION OF THE LAWS.
It is well known to the General
Assembly that violations of the law,
growing, in a great measure, no
doubt, out of the demoralization
which always follows from a war
of the magnitude of that through
which we have just passed, have
been alarmingly frequent in this
State ; and it is certainly the duty
of every public officer and every
good citizen to do everything in his
power to discountenance and check
lawlessness and crime of every
character. So long as popular sen
timent is not decided upon this
question, and criminals can feci
that they have popular countenance,
we can expect but little improve
ment. It therefore beeomes the
duty of the Executive, Legislative
and Judieial Departments of the
Government to take a firm and de
cided stand in favor of law and or
der, and to punish crime wherever
it may be legally shown to exist, no
matter whether the perpetrator be
high or low, rich or poor. To this
end, the General Assembly should
cnaet such laws, if there be any de
fect in our present system, as are
necessary to give the courts the full
power over this subject, and the
courts and tho juries should take j
hold of this matter with decision j
and energy, and teach criminals
that the law cannot be violated with
impunity. An lit will be a source
of pride and pleasure to me, while
exercising the executive functions
of the government, to aid in every
possible manner m the execution of
the laws, both civil and criminal.
When a court and jury have inves
tigated a case calmly and dispas
sionately, and the law ha 4 been ad
ministered impartially, the case will
have to be an extreme one, having
some features of mitigation that
absolutely call for executive action,
before I shall interfere and arrest
the execution of the criminal laws.
The safety, peace and prosperity of
all depend upon the prompt and
vigorous execution of the criminal
laws in the present deranged condi
tion of our society. In this matter,
i shall carefully co-operate with the
other departments of the govern
ment in all measures intended to
promote the public good, and to re
store confidence and quiet; and I
respectfully solicit the aid of all
good citizens in every portion of the
State, without regard to party af
finities, race or color, in support of
the government in this important
work.
*****:«. *
Popular education.
The General Assembly at its last
session enacted a law providing for
public schools in this State, which,
in tho main, meets my hearty co
operation. The act, as is the case
in the inauguration of every new
system, probably has some defects
which a year’s reflection and prac
tice may have suggested to those
who are now entrusted with the re
sponsible duty of representing the
people. But I trust a system of
popular education may meet with
general favor, and commend itself
to all. It is very important that
we give our people the advantages
of a liberal education in all cases
where we have the means to do so,
and that we should place within the
reach of every citizen the means of
acquiring the rudiments of a com
mon English education. Our re
publican institutions rest upon the
virtue and intelligence of the peo
ple, and it seems to me to be a pa
triotic duty to encourage the gen
eral diffusion of knowledge by'eve
ry means within our power.
* * * * * * *
I can but commend the wisdom
and forethought of the late General
Assembly in laying down as one
fundamental provision of the sys
tem in this State, that the different
races shall be separate in th o schools.
We can have no mixed schools. It
is not for the interest of either race
that it should be so. While there
should be equal justice done in the
distribution of the public funds for
the education of the children of
both races, our schools should be
separate, and our colleges, should
be separate.
STATE UNIVERSITY AND AGRICULTU
RAL COLLEGE.
I cannot too strongly commend
to the General Assembly the impor
tance of a liberal endowment to
our State University. No one who
reads the history of the State, and
the provisions on the subject incor
porated into the earlier constitu
tions, can doubt that it was the in
tention of our fathers to establish
and maintain in Georgia a first-class
University; and it is a matter of
deep regret that the people of Geor
gia have so long failed to carryout,
:u all its munificence and magnitude,
this grand scheme of those wise and
great men who laid the foundations
of our government. Under our
present system,it becomes a matter
of necessity that we develop, to the
highest extent, the minds of ohi
sons and daughters. We have
vast physical resources, probably
unsurpassed by any State in the
Union, but they can never be fully
developed until we have first devel
oped the mental resources of our
people. We must educate our sons
for every department in life. It is
not enough that we have, as in the
past, a respectable college, where
Latin and Greek, and the other
studies connected with the old col
lege curriculum, are taught. Un
der our present system, we need,
not only educated lawyers, doctors
and divines, but we need educated
farmers, mechanics and chemists,
and educated men in every depart
ment of life, and we need an institu
tion in our own State, where the
young men of Georgia can be pre
pared for these various departments,
in other words, we need a universi
ty where those who are stuying for
the law or for the ministry, may be
taught Latin and Greek and all the
branches necessary to accomplisli
them in the pursuit v hich they have
chosen. But connected with this
we need a school of medicine where
a young man desiring, after he has
graduated in college, to make the
practice of medicine his vocation,
can completely prepare himself for
that field of usefulness. This might
be done by connecting with the Uni
versity one or more of our present
medical colleges. We already have
a law school connected with the
University. We need also a de
partment where civil engineering
can be taught to greater advantage
than we are now able to teach it.
We need a department where ap
plied chemistry and applied mathe
matics can be taught as fully as in
any other institution, so that a
young man who desires to make
himself a practical chemist, can get
his education at home; or, if he
desires to make himself a master
mechanic, he can be educated for
that department; or, if he desires
to become an architect, he can be
accomplished for that department ;
and so with every useful branch of
knowledge. In this way, the State
of Georgia would be able to educate
all her sons at borne, and to draw
within her bosom, to receive a liber
al education, hundreds and even
thousands of the youth of the other
Southern States. The endowment
for this purpose should be a liberal
one, which might well be made by
issuing bonds of the State having
fifty or an hundred years to run,
payable to the University, tho in
terest only to be paid annually, and
the amount should be large enough
to endow every professorship neces
sary to make the University such
an one as Georgia might well be
proud of. &
***' * * * *
In my judgment, there is no pos
sible way in which half a miluon
or even a million of dollars could
be invested, which would redound
so much to the future glory, grand
eur and greatness of our noble old
State. I especially commend this
matter to the earnest and serious
consideration of this General As
sembly.
In recommending the endowment
of the Scate University, I intend no
thing unfriendly to tho denomina
tional colleges. They have done
much to elevate the standard of
education in Georgia, and have
been, and still are institutions of
which not only the denominations
to which they belong, but the whole
people of the State may be justly
proud.
* * * * * * *
If the Legislature should think
proper to endow the University lib
erally in the manner proposed, it
would then, in my judgment, be
good policy to turn over to the State
Agricultural Society the land scrip
which has been generously donated
by the Congress of the United
States, and to permit said society,
as the trustee of the State, to en
dow an agricultural college at Mil
ledgeville, with a branch at Dahlon
ega, where all that pertains to a
practical agricultural education may
be obtained by the youth of our
State. In this manner all conflict
upon this question will be reconciled
and all conflicting interests served
in a manner that would tend to the
future growth and prosperity of the
State.
Before dismissing the subject, 1
would further remark that justice
demands and endowment of the At
lanta University for the colored
population ot our State, which will
he sufficient for all their wants at
their present stage of advancement.
By making reasonable provision for
them, and building up their college
iu this State, we forever settle the
vexed question, which would be
come a very troublesome one if they
should seek admittance into the
University of the State, and carry
out the good understanding which
has already been inaugurated be
tween the two races—that not only
their schools, but their colleges are
to be kept perpetually separate and
distinct from each other.
THE STATE DEBT.
* * * * *
While I regret that our liabilities
have been increased to the amount
already reached, and would advise
great caution upon this subject in
the future, I cannot too strongly
impress upon you the convictions
of my own mind as to the impor
tance of maintair ing the public faith
inviolate. No State in the Union
has maintained a higher or more
unsullied character for integrity
and the faithful performance of her
obligations in connection with all fi
nancial matters than our own be
loved Georgia. And whatever may
be the burdens to which we are now
subject, and whether wisely or un
wisely incurred, vve should meet
them with that spirit of integrity
and honor which has always charac
terized the people of Georgia, and
their representatives who have been
our predecessors, and which will, I
trust always continue to boa sub
ject of just pride. Whatever may
be our misfortunes, or our depressed
condition, let it never be said that
the State of Georgia has violated
her plighted faith or failed to re
gard as sacred and meet promptly
all her legal and moral obligations.
In concluding this communica
tion, I desire again to urge upon
you the importance of moderation,
wise caution and harmony in all our
official action : and sincerely invoke
the blessings of Almighty God upon
our beloved State.

Wliat is Headache ? In nine cases out of
ten the source of headache is not in the
brain, but in the stomach. Indigestion is
the most frcqneut sauce. The digestive or
gans being disordered, they derange the ac
tion of the liver, the bowels, the kidneys,
and the nerves, and the whole secretive and
executive machinery being as if it was
thrown out of near, the brain suffers. Re
store the natural tone of the stomach and
bowels with a few doses of
Tarrant's Seltzer Aperient,
and headache arising from this cause is at
once arrested. This delightful preparation
is the best remedy for chronic and periodi
cal headache at present known, and abso
lutely invaluable us a stomachic and gen
tle cathartic. Sold by all Drnggists.
