Gordon, and when he was so bit terly assailed tor that untimely and unfortunate resignation as U. S. senator \v-- raised our voice and ex erted our limited influence in dc fense of his honor and good name. But Uen. Gordon to day—and we believe through the instrumentality of designing politicians—threatens to place himself in a position that no fair-minded men can endorse Or fol low,viz.;»sa dernier tesort candidate for Governor, brought out as a for lorn hope by the enemies of Major Bacon, and for the sole object, of encompassing that gentleman’s de feat. If Gen. Gordon announces himself, the people will clearly see and understand his object, and he is sure to receive in the convention or at the polls a just and withering rebuke. lie has thousands of warm friends and admirers throughout Georgia who stand ready to endorse and honor this gallant Confederate qflicer whenever they can do so without lending their aid to a po litical scheme that is unfair to a gentleman whom the people con sider equally deserving their trust and support as Gen. John B. Gor don or any other man—Major Ba con. Ilsd Gordon’s candidacy been announced at any other time and in any other manner than with its present peculiar ami suspicious surroundings, the populace would have hailed his name with acclama tions ot pride and joy, and he could have made a gallant fight lor the high office to which lie aspires; but should he now enter the arena, it will be beneath a cloud of public distrust that, like a pillar of dark ness, will stand between him and the goal of his ambition. As sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, a defeat, and an over whelming and mortifying defeat, too, will be his portion. Even the great influence of .our two United States senators, and the combined political power of Atlanta, cannot save him. In past contests, this great political triumviate of our state stood in the light of being assailed, and the people, by their votes, came to their rescue and vin dication. But now the tables are turned, and when Gen. Gordon an nounces his candidacy it will be looked upon, as an attempt to take an unfair advantage of a pure states man and a true democrat, simply because he is not a member iOf a certain political clique, that is de termined to leave no effort untried to encompass his defeat. So long as a shadow of hope remained fori the nomination of Judge Simmons the contest was left with the two distinguished gentlemen of Macon; but when there was discovered throughout the length and breadth of the state such an overwhelming and unmistakable sentiment for Major Bacon, that even at this early day announced a triumph over his adversary, Bacon’s foes discovered that they must find stronger man than Judge Simmons. After vainly casting their eyes over , , the state, they at last rested on Florida; and it was then determin ed, as a last hope, to recall Gen, Gordon to Georgia, and aee if hit gallant raihtarj services, backed W a ring that baa- for years controlled our politics, could not break the solid phalanx of democrats that sur rounded Bacon, and thus defeat and forever retire to the shades of private life a man whose only fault is an avowed determination, if elect ed Governor of Georgia, to submit to no dictation except the will of the people. We cannot believe that Gen. Gordon, when he sees for himself the uprising of the masses in behalf of the adversary that he must meet, and understands the true inwardness of the politi cians that are urging him to enter the contest, will lend his name to such an unfair scheme. Georgia stands ready to honor Gen. Gordon whenever he asks it in the right spirit sod for himself; but the pro pie will not accept him a* the tool of a political clique, solely with view of defeating an acceptable and good mau. We have what we consider lelia- ble information that Bacon will cer tainly carry the following counties in this sectiop, most if not all of them having gone for other candi dates at the last convention: Clarke, Banks, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Greene, Elbert and Franklin. We have lately conversed with reliable par ties from every county in Northeast Georgia, and they are all strong for Bacon. During the recent unpleasantness there were a number of private sol diers engaged on the Confederate side, and notwithstanding news paper articles to the contrary, they will not “down at the bidding” of every hero worshipper. The “high private in the rear rank,” who re turned to his native heath poverty- stricken, foot-sore and weary, has quietly stood by, listening to the heroic tales as told by others, of his prowess in the ensanguined field, while “Brer Rabbit,” the Gen eral or Colonel, rode in splendor and scooped up all public places ol remuneration or power. The pocr private, it seems, must be satisfied to have his “grave kept green,” and live alone in the “golden glow” of history, while the General and Col onel charge again (in print) the ter nble breastworks and almost im pregnable fortress, amid booming cannon and clash of bayonets. As the solitary General or Colonel makes his horse leap the imaginary breastworks, his cool, quick eye flashing fire, his form erect and firm, while the nostrils of his horse deal out a transparent heat, there can be no doubt that he presents heroic figure, calculated to awe the average private. The poor private teels, for the time being, that he crossed the breastworks after “Brer Rabbit” had captured the cannon and driven the enemy; but, anon, he feels that if so, there must he some thing wrong with his memory, and that history, as so far written, must he revised. This article is not written against any one, but rather to throw out 1 hint to those who would run a poli tical canvass upon their record made in the war between the states. The heroic struggle made in defense of Southern principles, by Southern soldiers, it worthy of all commen dation, hut as the memory is not founded upon the heroic action of any single individual, but to the unity of all, so the honor alike be longs to all. In a canvass for any public office, the ambition of the poor private, subordinate officer, Lieutenant, Captain or Major, should be as much respected as that of the Colonel or General. DECLINE OF TUE K. OF L. ORDK". A HOWL FROM THE LOYAL NORTH. The Coweta Advertiser wants Joe Brown to explain a little cir cumstance. That paper says: Just in connection with this thought, we would like for Joe Brown to tell us of that eight million scheme that he inaugurated in 1S73 with Tom Scott, Ben May, E. W. Cole and others. Compared with this the credit mobilier swindle would sink iato utter insignificance. The peo ple of Georgia would like to have him tell them who were the parties to it, what congressmen and sena tors were interested, to whom he paid that $25,000 check in the fall of 1S72. It would furnish racy readingjust now, while Gordon is his pet candidate for Governor.

It can only be saved by the Knights throwing overbroad those insurrectionary Jonahs whose lawless advice has brought about so much strife and trouble and caused such a great revolution in public sentiment;and by them accepting as future leaders their wisest and most conservative members. When they first began their great struggle for advancement the Knights of Labor were supported by a strong public sympathy, and so long as thus en trenched their position was impreg nable. This Mr. Jay Gould and other of their adversaries realized, and with the shrewd cunning that made this great railroad king the leader of Wall street, has set about taking this support from them. He knew that it could only be done through the medium of the order itself, aud Mr. Gould determined to so enrage the Knights that, like wounded adder, in their maddened revenge they would sting them selves to death. Until that confer ence with Chief Powderly, the strike against Mr. Gould’s system of railroads was conducted in a peaceful manner, with due regard to the laws ol the land. But at that conference did this wile old finan cier set his trap, and into it the striking Knights blindly walked He agreed to a committee of arbi tration with Powderly, and after wards denied and repudiated the contract, knowing, at the time, that such a step would inflame and en rage the strikers past endurance, and in their anger that they would be guilty of acts of violence that would transfer public sympathy from his employee to himself, and with this support, backed by the unlimited capital at his command, he could soon bring his men into subjection. Gould cared not how much of his property that the sti i- ker«, in their indignant fury, might destroy, as the various cities and states would be held by law ac countable to him for every dollar of the loss. It all turned out just as Mr. Gould expected and wished. When the strikers, encouraged by the hopes of an honorable settle ment, saw the fair promises made their chief ignored and themselves insulted, they were lost to all rea son and argument, and then began that series of outrages and ctimes that have made the name of Knight of Labor in the Southwest synony mous of the Commune. The pub lic no longer saw them in the light of honest laborers, struggling for their rights, but they appeared as outlaws and -murderers—enemies to the peace and order of the land— and it was the public duty, as good citizen*, -tai . give neither' counte nance or seppevtyo such a band at men. Every h*d» applied to a dtr or depot—every rail removed the track-eviry * > «C«b w ' or^ that met a sudden atjd violent at the supposed .hands of (he Knight* of Labor, w«»;iffficting a fresh stab into tbelr own order and enemy. But for. all this strife and outrage &£ ttipofrkd. Jay will not beifeet&i blameless, the general who mapped oat the hat Bi/and 'fc cell <medtmoiitijUmm smarts fa,' " ‘ Mr. Gould i* As we expected, the bringing forth of ex-President D.tvis Irom his self-elected retirement, that the people who-e cause he tepresented, and to whom on this account he is very dear, might once more- look upon the face ol this grand old statesman before he “crossed over the river and rested under the shade of the trees,” h.is raised a howl of 'oyal indignation in the North, that culminated in a meet ing at Albany, N. Y., “to protest against the ovation given to Jeffer son Davis at Montgomery, and the disloyal sentiments uttered there.” There was not a word that could possibly be tortured into dis loyalty uttered by Mr. Davis or any ot the speakers on that occasion, unless a proper tribute to the cause lor which thousands of the gallant sons of the South poured out their life-blood, and that our people then believed, and still lieliete.to be just, can be so construed. When the Confederate anny surrendeied, it only gave up its arms and did nor promise to surrender principle, and urgree that the Southern people ac knowledge themselve as traitors They yielded to superior torce, and it was only stated in the terms ol capitulation that the soldieis dis band, return peaceably to theit homes, and obey the constitution and laws ol the victorious govern ment. This contract has the south kept to the letter. Now, at this late day, it our Northern brethren expect the people living within the bounds ol the late Southern Con federacy to further prove iheir loy alty to the Union by disowning the cause tor which we saciificed so much, and ignoring its great chiei- ain, then indeed may the Albany ndignationists write “Traitor’ upon the brow of every true and honest man south pf Mason & Dix on’s line. The reception given Mr. Davis all along his line ol travel does not mean man worship, as was ac corded Gen. Grant by the North, but a fitting tribute to a cause of which he is the representative. For our people to have ignored Mr. Davis would he a public acknowl edgment that the late war between the states was unjustly waged on the part of the South, and our he roic dead, who fill unniaiked graves upon an hundred battle fields, perished in an unholy cause and deserved the censure, and not the gratitude, of their people. We care but little what effect Mr. Da vis’ reception may have upon the North. We have humiliated our selves already too long at the shrine of radical hate with a hope of ap peasing our late toes; and after eighteen years of patient waiting, and we triumphed(?) by electing Grover Cleveland president, the victory, like Dead Sea fruit, turned ashes on our lips. Let the Southern people from this day on assert their manhood, and while up holding the government under which thev now live, do not hesi tate or fear to pay proper tribute to the “Last Cause.” The more the loyalists of the North howl, the Iwnterlst-tlw shssts fori «x-±D«si- dnt Jefferson Davis ring.as he per- " s. peaceful march through Baking pdwd^B MOST PERFECT MADE The United States Government Places Dr. Price’s at the head of the entire list. ,-Soo XcnosAL Board or Health Bulletin—Supplement No. 6, page 33, Washiacton, D.

Let the beacon fires blaze on every hill from Penobscot Bay to to the Gulf whose waters washes our Southern shores—the Union which our fathers formed is destined todisruption The Governors of the Northern States should issue their proclamation calling tor volunteers for ninety days; the country is in imminent danger, and in time of peace prepare lor war—helium hor- riduiii, helium!

He Writes a Very Wise and Conservative Article. Dear Banner-Watchman: I see you approve of Mr. Cleveland’s policy as rec ommended in his message to congress in relation to our present labor troubles. I concur with you. While I think the Knights of L. have in many instances acted very foolish, and made some very unreasonable demands, I think the prob lem should be handled in a common sense way, and conciliations and concessions exercised on both sides. Our govern ment is not a despotism, but a govern ment of compromises. No man or party can have his own way entirely. We must always allow the “other fellow” half the road, then the one who makes the best use of his advantages gets the best re ward. I believe in a conservative course. I believe all extremes should be checked U P by good wholesome laws that will bring the “greatest good to the greatest number.” Those who are extreme in their oppressions, as well as those who are extreme in their exactions, should be kept in check by salutary laws. I have been opposed to our railroad commission, but I find we arc all rather disposed to encroach upon the rights of others, and exact more than is right. I think it best to make laws to keep us alt in our prop er places. Such laws can do us no harm, and will do the weak and powerless much good. So I fully approve Mr. Cleveland’s labor commission policy. That will set tle our labor troubles in accordance with law. So much for labor troubles. A man learns more of human nature in a grand jury room than any place I ever was. I served on a grand jury more than 40 years since with Jas. R. McCleskey, (father of Dr. G. L. MCleskoy) aa fore man, and with many other foremen, but never served with one more competent than the one with whom I served last week, and it was his first time as foreman or juror^-alwavs having been a fireman, and thereby exempt Ue did more work than any foreman I ever served under. We made no distinction between friends and enemies. We only ask obedi ence to law, and that we must have, while we have authority to enforce that •bedience. Law is the palladium of our liberties, and those who have not inde pendence enough to do right, should not be trusted with power, for the security of liberty and the pursuit of happiness is in the hands of those who administer the law. As ever your friend, Peter Culp. TAKE NOTICE. We invite comparison of our Machines and Fence with'that of any other make.

The proprietors and clerks of Tal- madge Bros, called Mr, C,, J. 0’FatTell into their ; store, on Friday night, and without a word; of .warning caned him. They presented him with a fine gold headed walking cane, with the following inscription: “Rank and file of Talmsdge Bros.’ to C. J. f O’Farrell.” Charlie had been treated tti n paddle well laid on the morning, and it WSs a hard matter to en tice him in the room to present him with the stick. The presentation shows to the world, in a’ mpdest .way, how Mr. 0’Farrell is appreciated by the ffrn, and the clerks, t The Talmadge boys never do anything in a half-way manner. \ — - — .77 ! - BROTHERS fighting.

One of toeUrest and Most Reliable Grocery Houses in tbe South. The name of Hodgson is inseparably linked with the growth and prosperity of Athens, and is synonymous of all that is honorable and reliable. Throughout this section of the state, if a farmer wants to describe anything as unusually good and durable, he will compare it to a Hodg son wagon or buggy. This unswerving integrity practiced by the elder Hodg sons, that left the name so cherished and honored, has descepded to the sons, and tRero is note mercantile house in the Union that stands higher, both with tho commercial world and the trading pub lic,: than the large wholesale and retail grocery and provision house of Hodgson Brogy on Clayton street. A person feels that when he trades here he has in the name of Hodgson all the guarantee that he wants of honorable dealing. This is one ef the largest grocery houses in the state, and their three capacious rooms, three stories high, are filled to overflowing with everything in their line. This house is possessed of unlimited capital, and,no one can undersell them. They mAbe t, specialty of fancy groceries'ttflftnsh country produce of all kinds, and it mat ters not how “dry” the season the good ladies can always find some delicacy there for the table. They are agents for the leading brands of tobacco, and in fact, if you don’t find what you want in their line at the Hodgson Bros, you need go no further. They have a polite and obliging corps of experienced salesmen, and besides, each member of the firm is a worker himself, and it is always “strict ly business” at this house. There are no drones around the store, but it is al ways a busy hive of commercial activity. Give the Hodgson Bros, a call when you want any article in their line,- and ycta will never regret It. •’* WESTMORELAND BROS. Manufacturer! anS dole Proprietors GREENVILLEE, S. C.
