SPEEH'S ATLANTA ORGAN. NOT ENJOINED. —T MR. SPEER WRITES MAT|I “MY A friend yesterday handed u* a copy of tlie Atlanta Herald that eon - tained two articles purporting to lie written from Athens— one being an luminous attack upon the editor of this paper, and the other a puny de- fense of Mr. tspeer’s “My Dear Mat,” signed “A Citizenbut any one read ing the article will see at a glance that it was penned by either u Speer sym pathizer or a republican. It seems that although the Herald has our pa- ]ier upon its exchange list, whenever mi aiticle appears attacking us nr de fending Mr. Speer the mailing clerk invariably omits to send us a copy that day. This has happened more than once, aud we cau’t look upon it as merely accidental. We will first take up a review of our editorial, by so-called “Democrat,” that was headed "More Politics and Ii«s8 Personalism." The Herald cor- respondent in reply to us says: “That the man whom nobody will deny is the prime cause of all the per sonalities that have characterized this campaign in the Ninth district, and to u very large extent the author of all, should enter a plea for a return to purer me'hods ami pretend to lecture Athens on the mono of conducting a oampnign Is enough to cause oiien mouthed wonder ami the inquiry. “What new villainy is on deck now'.*” It is a fact beyond dispute that with Ins entry into tills district the editor of the lV-W declared his determina tion tooppose Mr. Sneer to the bitter end, amt without oilier grounds for tliis opposition he l-egaii to make per sonal attacks on our representative, which lie 1ms kept up unceasingly tin til lie lias accused him of every crime that a politician was ever guilty of. And not stopping here, he lias invad ed the private life of Mr. 8peor and his family. And yet this is the man who lias tlie brazen cHrontery to talk about less personalism.’’ Was there ever a more iufamous or unfounded charge made against a journalist than thvalwve? Tlie wri ter says wc began to make personal attacks u|»u our representative, etc. If “Democrat” intends by this to say j that we have successfully shown up * Mr. Speer’s mongrel political record and endeavored to convince tlie peo ple that while lie was elected as a democrat that lie had sold his birth right to the radical party, then we will confess that we have made per sonal attacks upon the honorable gen tleman. if by "personal attacks” tlie so-called “Democrat” means to say t hut we have forced M r. Speer to screen himself behind a lull of injunction, mid ask the courts to draw the veil ol' secrecy between his political record and the eyes of his betrayed constitu ency, then we plead guilty to tlie charge, itut if “Democrat” means to charge that we have deviated one iota from the duty of a faithful journ alist, and attacked aught else lint Mr. Speer's |Hilitical record as u public servant, then lie utters a falsehood, and wc defy him to prove his charge, the flies of our paper being at his ser vice. But when Ibis uuonymous wri ter states that we have iumiUtl thr i>ri- ,,iIs lij'r Iij Mr. Z>i"< r mill hi* fmiiihl, words are inadequate, to express our denial of such an infamous aud un founded slander. We refer to the ven erable and respected father of Mr. Kmory Speer to know If the writer lias ever touched upon bis name except with the most profound respect. As to the other members of Mr. Speer’s private family, if the slightest refer ence to them lias ever entered our col umns they were treated witli that pro found respect we now and have ever felt for them. If “Democrat” can cite one word, syllabic or line where we have Invaded tlie privacy of Mr. Speer’s family, we will agree to own ourself all that is vile. He charges an untruth when he penned that sen tence, and lie and every reader of our paper knows it. We acknowledge that while tlie present campaign in the ninth dis- triet is determined an I perhaps bitter, at tlie same time it lias been fought on stWrffy 1*1 rly Unit, and never was a cam paign freer of personal al use and slan der. We have more than once had leading citizens to come to us and con gratulate tills paper upon weeding pol ities in th’s district from nauseating personalities and scandal. They siy that never was a canvass confined so securely to political grounds and ar guments as the present race for con gressman. We refer to the tllesof tlie Banner-Watchman, and to the history of every contest wuged in this district since tlie war, to anbstantiate our as sertion. ! Tlie only instance in which the family of Mr. Kmory Speer was forced into the discussion was 'by ' that gentle man himself, when he published a card in the Augusta Chronicle A Con stitutionalist trying to torture the re moval of Ills honored father from his chair in the state university into political capital for himself; hut when it was shown that Dr. rt|>eer’s own churchman; tlie venerable Bishop Pierce, endorsed Ilia removal, tills outrageous scheme fell still-born, and the name oi Dr. Speer was permitted to retire to that honorable obscurity from which alt anthitous son had drag ged it with the hope that it would add a few votes to his ejection. Tlie charges we have made against Mr. Kmory Speer—and we reiterate them—are that hehasformcd aeon-. • spiracy with theirepulrtican party to radicalise Georgia, and when he re- mnves that hill of injunction wc will prove it. We charge that he was ln- strtimental in forcingItWcolored ring leaders upon this district, nsourhigh- cat officers, and: afterwards lieing ashamed oi ins ovvp . ucts, sought rt-f- uge behind the law to screen the fas tening of tlie charge upon him hjr pub lication of his Correspondence with Ida republican contpiratnra. Remove that Hijunotiqn and we will prove it. We have been very guarded in this campaign, and made no charge against Mr. Speer unless we had evi denced!! our possession to. substantl- UtO its il.H.ll |»|Ij. ii ,,|j Ml,,j ,• I , On the other band, the editor of this paper lias been the ' recipient at the hands of Mr. Speer and his ’henchmen ol the vilest slanders anil abuse. The vocabularies of slang and iilth have been searched to And Words to carry on this miserable Warfare. In this abuse of us even the standard-bearer of democracy has been alinoet forg< t- ten. Any one outside of tlie district, to read Mr. Speer's organs, would think it an humble journalist on trial before the bar of nubile suf frage Instead efthe honorable gentle man from Hall. While this is annoy ing, we muatsay at the same time look upon tills flight of venomous arrows ut our hesa as highly compli mentary. forlt Shows that, our expo sure of Mr. Speer* twaeheryt, tellfug upon the voters of the old uiuth; for were our editorials harmless, or even calculated to bulU “P-Mr, Speer's sup- It***! the fort, and 4WU>. toto pf 'Sff&nfittM! 7th of S&yerrft^r next.

It is not one of the Christy letters, and so our injunction don’t touch it. This docu ment was written prior to that time, and while Mr. Speer was forming bis conspiracy with the radical party; but it gives our readers a taste of what is in store for them if that injunction is lifted. The origiual of the following letter is now in Col. Candler’s hands, having been seuthlm by express, and he will take great pleasure in exhibit ing it to the publio. The letter is over Mr. Speer’s own tiguaiarr, written on a sheet of government paper, and even the stamped envelope is in the posses sion of the “One-Eyed Blow-Boy.” Mr. Speer cannot say there is any for gery about this, for it is written over his own well-knowu signature. “Our Kmory” seeins to distrust “Mr. Pledg er,” uud acknowledges taut lie is working for “My Dear Mat” aud three or four others, iledun't seem to care utioul tlie great mass of colored voters who elected him, but feels an interest only iu tile leaders. As we before suid this ts only a taste oi what we have in store if Mr. Speer will lift that iujune- liou. But eveu this letter will uut set very well on tlie stomach of the wool- hat boys, whom Mr. Speer expects to keep under control by Ids mulatto poslmuster. The following is the let ter.

J see ill the last issue of the Uaines- ville .Southron an editorial wherein I am charged w itli saving at Madison court that tlie democracy was deter mined to defeat Mr. Speer by “foul means, if necessary.” I made nosuch assertion, und denouuce tlie state ment as uii infamous falsehood. This slander was being circulated on tlie streets of Athens, when I limited up tlie party who was sliowiug around a letter writieu by one Marouey, upon which it sas based, and denounced the report as a wilful and malicious untruth, li the Southron brings forth any affidavits to show that I did make that assertion, all I have to say is, that the parties siguing the sann simply perjure themselves, and they know.

Democrat. SPEEH'S ATLANTA ORGAN AGAIN. The reports which reach us, and which are many, show the futility of tl|e abusive canvass mode in theuiuili by the Banner-Watch man and its can didate, Candler. Tlie ridiculous speeches and clownish antics of the latter are disgusting sensible people who want to lie represented by a man of education and abilities. Kmory Speer Is quietly and effectually In creasing his vote wherever he goes.— Atlinita Herald. We lioldly'assert that no such re ports reach the lierald.for it is a well- known fact that Mr. Speer is as dead in tlie ninth district as a spoilt mack erel. That old charee of our making an abusive campaign on Mr. Speer is “too thin.” We have simply exposed his rotteu political record and let his private character rest In peace. Ills official acts the voters have a right to know, and there Is no abuse or perse cution in such an-investigation. On the other hand, we got “Our Emory” in such a close box that tie had to sneak behind the coat-tail of Judge Erwin and eudeavor to screen his course by yelliug out abuse aud perse cution. No, gentle reader, all the abuse came from the other side of the house—that is, If you call It abuse for Mr. 8 peer to denounce Col. Candler in a public speech as a sneaking, cow ardly lice, uud brand his supportersas blackguards, thieves, renegades, etc., etc., etc. Oil, no; there is no abuse in that. Mr. -Speer ouly used some of that chaste and elegant language lie imbibed from ids Gainesville organ! Comparing an honorable opponent to a barking lice and denouncing a young man whom he still owes for his lalior as a thief uml renegade is uot abuse. |n tlie indepoiidetil-r'dieal-coulitiou vocabulary the only way tiiut you can abuse a man is to show up his politi cal record, ami fori e him to seek pro tection from the courts. Tlie filthy venom that Mr. Speer’s Yankee organ each week tjects against every gentle man who sees Ut toditter witli Us boss is not abuse. Oil, no; it is lue double- distilled quilileseeuce of love uud ten derness ! We never hear of the liltli- Hlinger abusing a man. It is ouly the Banner-Watchman, when this paper fires'red-hot shots of truth into Mr. Speer's rotten political eareas. Well, we are goiug to keep up that sort of abuse until tlie 7th day of November —und don’t you forget it. We have plenty of material on hand, outside of those Christy letters, aud will soon j begin to shell the woods. | Tlie Ueiald also contemptuously speaks of Col. Caudler’s “ridiculous speeches” and “clownish antics,” “disgusting sensible people, who want to be represented by a man of educa tion aud abilities.” There is noabuse iu the above. It is simply a neat com- piiuieut, that Col. Candler will doubt less highly appreciate. The Herald’s inference is that simply because tlie “One-Eyed Plow-Boy” liasu’t the flu- ish and culture of Ills patrician oppo nent that he ought to step aside and let this college-bred youug man take his place. It is true that Col. Caudler graduated with as much honor as did Mr. Speer; but tlteu you see he was a “clownish” plow-boy, who had to earn money as a day laborer to get his schooling,and of course it is an outrage ou the intelligent people of the district to put a man out of office who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth t'.iat Ins shoes might be filled by a “clownish" clod-knocker. All will admit that Allen Candler lius just as much sense as Mr. Emory Speer, and that he has never gone hack ou friend or party, but theu you see the simple fuct that lie has not those rouudcil sen tences, polished language aud stately tread of “Our Emory,” and sprung from the ranks of tlie formers and poor people, is enough to everlastingly lay him on the shelf, liis ubility counts for nothing unless it is bucked by a big name, anil tlie fact that be lost aueye while battling for Ills coun try at the head of his regiment is made a topic of ridicule by Mr. Speer and liD followers. But wc l*eg leave to differ with the Herald. Tlie people of the ninth dis- From the report in tlie Gainesville Filth-Slinger Emory Speer’s speech 111 Towus was the <|lrtie^k most abu sive and vindictive liMfrangue that ever eminated iron aipublfo orator. He apoke of Col. (^pudl^r as a barkiug, cowardly "flee, denounced in bitter terms his opponents, and wound up by rebashin&the old lLvj?.0J2.urjgput L Mr. Kiunebrew. But iu speuklugof cowardly attacks Mr. Speer did not tell the brave mountaineer* that $e to-day stands branded by Col. E. P. Howell, of Atlanta, with being a black guard aud a liar, which public insult he dare not offer to resent. Such dir ty wails as that speech at Hiwassee shoi-ld lose Mr. Emory Speer the vote of every decent man in the ninth ' dii trict. Col. Caudler should now con gratulate himselt on not meeting this man on the stump. A better cam paign document than that harraugue could not be circulated for Col. Cau dler.

We pause for a reply. Will some of his supporters pleuse answer tlie conun drum? Politically, Emory S|#er is like a confederate dollar: He “represents nothing ou God’s green •earth and naught in the waters below it." He is but a congressional shuttle-cock, fit ing from party to paity. ur dodging issues by deserting his post and run ning ott a hen an important question comes up to be voted on. GROCERIES. iBQSS GROCERS. The Speer side are now accusing the Caudler men of huylug up the colored vote In Athens. One thing is sure— we are not using that ilubbell cam paign fund, portioned out by tlie radi cal party to break up a solid south; neither are tlie Candler side giving due bills that they have no idea of redeeming at the time. ' 1 u..i • We will soon place a document in tlie hands of tlie people of the ninth district that will bury Emory Speer so deep that eveu ids republican friends in Washington can’t find him. We would intimate what it is, but un afraid he might enjoin us 'before it was circulated, ft is something, too, that he can’t circumnavigate around.

Stop publishing them or let us punish jour’s. Eight independents are running for congress in Georgia. They are brought out by tlie republican administration ill Washington, as a lever by which to break up the democratic party.

Tlie ninth district of Georgia will furnish the only plow-l>oy In congress.
