Never within the political annah of Georgia have such extreme and unjust measures been resorted in ardei to . defeat a candidate as are adopted by some of the enemies of Major Bacon in the present cam paign. Misrepresentations, slan ders, bulldozing boasts, vitupera tion and every other end that can injure or prejudice the public is being employed. These unfair methods began as soon as his ply to Gen. Gordon’s request for primary elections appeared, and has been kept up with a persisten cy worthy of a better cause. Day after day the Constitution asserts that Major Bacon was opposed to primaries, and refused to submit his claims to the arbitration of the voters, when, in lact, he penned not a line that could possible be tor tured into opposing primary elec tions to select delegates, but most sensibly and properly replied that he believed in leaving this matter solel* with the various counties, would be satisfied with any fair method that they might adopt, it not. then, outrageous that Gen Gordon’s Atlanta organ should so wilfully and continuously misrepre pleasant investigations into bis past acts, would at least observe that bearing due one gentleman from another; and that we would hear an address pregnant with eloquence and argument. - But, alas! What a disappointment was in store for us. In reply to the dignified, yet legiti mate and stinging arraignment by Major Bacon, Gen. Gotdon arose, and for one hour and fifteen min utes fed the intelligent people who had honored him with their pres ence by a disjointed mess of Cheap John oratory ( ?), filled with appeals to dead prejudices, miserable fail ures at wit, and the most disgusting boasts of his own glory and impor tance. To even suppose that the enlightened and educated voters of Oglethorpe county can be captured by such an oratorical rigoomarole is an insult to their intelligence that is sure to be rebuked at the polls. The supporters of Gen. Gordon came to listen to logic and reason, and he spoke to them, and appealed to them, as were they a lot of chil dren to be amused, or ignorant ne groes to be inflamed, and incapable of receiving reason or their minds of grasping argument. We repeat it with emphasis, that Gen. John B. Gordon’s harrangiie at Lexing ton last Thursday was an insult to the intelligence of his audi ence, and equivalent to a pub lie declaration that he considered the people of Oglethorpe county- devoid of brains or thinking powers, and that the only way to control them was by arousing their preju dices and amusing their crude minds. But for once Gen. Gcrdon has gotten beyond his latitude. There may be sections of the state where some trash from the stump will be accepted as argument; but it is not in the enlightened and pro gressive county of Oglethorpe. The reasoning and intelligent yeomanry of that section came to Lexington last Thursday expecting to be reas oned to as rational and intelligent SENSIBLE WORDS. GORDON AND THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR. sent Major Bacon’s words in older men—they asked for bread, and did to blind and prejudice its readers against him? From the article Ma jor Bacon began his campaign in a dignified and gentlemanly manner, and in his joint debate with Gen. Gordon touched only upon legiti mate matters, and which any citi zen had a right to discuss and ask for an explanation ol Gen. Gordon But how was ha met? With insult ing insinuations against his cour age and his honor, that no brave man could brook in silence. Both the Constitution and its candidate have and are still making the most desperate attempts to revive the animosities ot the late war, and by appeals to prejudice, and belittlcing a brave and honorable antagonist, inflame the soldier vote against biro. Gen. Gordon and the Consti tution have dodged every important issue and evaded explanations of the most grave charges, in a hope to deafen the public ears and blind their eyes with Gen. Gordon’s war record, that has nothing whatever to do with the election of a Govern er lor Georgia. On the part of GeOuGordon and his organ, braga- docioand self-laudation takes the place of solid argument. It matters not how firm a triend we were to Gen. Gordon, and how earnestly we might desire his election, we would leave his standard in disgust alter seeing the manner in which his campaign is being conducted. We cannot reconcile the vain glo rious and boastful bearing of Can didate Gordon on the stump with the gallant deportment of Gen. Gordon on the field of battle. True valor is always associated with modesty and gen erosity, and not with self-laudation and an insulting bearing toward an honorable adversary. But such tactics will not win. The people of Georgia are fair-minded and intelli gent, and when they read the mis representations made by Major Bacon’s enemies, and see the miser able farce that they are attempting in order to draw with military clamor the real issues of the day, thst they dare not face, and divert public attention from the true in wardness of Gen. Gordon’s candi dacy, the fair-minded democrats of Georgia will rise in their majesty and administer a withering rebuke to the authors of such a campaign and resent the insult attempted upon their intelligence by such fatce as is now being enacted by the Atlanta Constitution and candidate. But this shows the des perate straits to which the Atlanta ’ ring has been driven, and that they are trying to accomplish by ulterior methods what they cannot achieve by legitimate means. Gen. Gordon and his organ dare not combat argu ment with argument, and meet their enemy on fair and equal ground. But the end is not even yet. As county alter county takes its place in the Bacon column, and Gen. Gordon finds that the people are not to be deceived by false issues, his desperation, goarded by his Atlanta backers, will become more and more manifest. In his Eatonton speech did Gen. Gordon insinuate what will be his last re sort, viz: To repudiate certain counties and thus either coetce his nomination or break up the conven tion. Backed by the influence that he can command and Senator Brown’s money, he can bid defi ance to his party. All this brag and bluster on the part- of Gordon and his organ is for efleef. He has no chance whatever of fairly de feating Major Bacon for Governor, and, backed by the Constitution, is trying to change public sentiment by creating a fictitious boom. not want a stone. But not a single legitimate subject did Gen. Gordon touch upon, but sought to blind the eye of his hearers and evade an an swer to Major Bacon’s catechism by talking about the dead and gone issues of the war, that have no bear ing whatever on the present cam paign. and nauseating his hearers with the most brazen and egotistical self-laudation. As Gen. Gordon was feeding his audience on such stuff, encouraged by the yells of a lot of boys, students from Athens and his Atlanta whoopers,we looked out upon the faces ol the reasoning and intelligent citizens and read there a disgust that augured well for Major Bacon. At conclusion this gentleman, in fllteen minutes’ time, completely riddled Gen. Gor don’s answers, and won the respect and confidence of the people. The discussion in Lexington was a great Bacon victory. Perhaps it would not be so in a section where igno rance predominates and an orator must feed prejudices, passions and the visibilities of an audieit£einstead ot their minds; but this is not the case in Oglethorpe. Major Bacon gave the voters something to pon der over—Gen.Gordon’s speech was but self-laudatory vaporings. Far be' it from ns to detract one iota of renown from the'namc of Gordon, but we differ with his friends when they claim that he is .entitled to a continuation of honors for his military career and politi cal allegiance to his section, when he thrust aside a higher office than the one he now seeks. We believe Major Bacon preeminently fitted for the position to which he aspires, and upon that ground we will contend lor his nomination before Uie state convention.—Clarkcsvillc Ad vertiser. These are timely and sensible words. The people are willing to accord to Gen. Gordon the full measure of praise for his military record. He did his duty during the war, and he deserves to be honored for it. But this is the poorest reason that could begiven for electing him Governor. There are hundreds of private soldiers now halting on crutches through the state who de serve as much credit as he. A man who does his duty in his place ) whatever the rank or station may be, can do no more. The General can do no more than his duty. The private can do as much. We are sick and tired of the everlasting pa rade of brilliant war records. The brilliancy consists at least in the dis charge ot duty, and in this the pri vate is the peer of the officer. Be sides, we have never been able to see the connection between a bril liant career as a General and the office of Governor. The question is, is he fit for Governor? Has he the qualifications? Suppose any important business enterprise in Georgia, for instance, an insurance company, wanted a president, would the stockholders select Gen. Gor don? Of course not. Why not? Because he has not the qualifica tions. His brilliant war record would not count at ali in suen a case. The stockholders would say, “we are not seeking a general, we want a good sound business man.” So in making a Governor, we do not want general, without more, we want a man of sound financial judgment and trustworthy mind and business habits. Gen. Gordon, is an honest man, but he is a visionary, specula tive creature when it cotnes to financial affairs. Every enterprise he has ever touched since the war with a controlling hand, so far as we have ever heard, has rushed to swift and certain bankruptcy and ruin, or passed trom his control. The credit of the state ofGeorgia is high, and deservedly so, but what will become of it if the financial policy and the executive office is entrusted to such a wild and reckless specula tor? It is time to pause and ponder well the importance of the decision we are called upon to make. We cannot aflord to entrust the affairs of the state to any man simply be cause he has a brilliant war record. The very traits which distinguished him in war may ruin him in peace. IN GREENE COUNTY* THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST. CHEAP JOHN ELOQUENCE. » While opposing Gen. John B. Gordon, we went to Lexington last Thursday holding him in the most exalted esteem, and believed his untimely canvass' a debt of grat itude he was thus paying a political ring to which he was bonnd by pe culiar ties. We looked upon Gen* Gordon as an eloquent and chival rous Southern gentleman, who, nybile seeking to evade certain cut- in another column we publish card from Hon. H. H. Carlton, who, &t the earnest and continued quests ot his numerous friends throughout the 8th district, has at last decided to enter the race for congress, in opposition to Mr. Reese, the present incumbent and the only other candidate as yet in the field. Capt. Carlton’s letter declaring his candidacy is a digni lied, courteous and expressive paper, characteristic of the gentle man. His reierence to the present honorable incumbent, Mr. Reese, is timely and kind, and gives promise of a pleasant and properly-con ducted campaign. It is needless lor us to introduce our distinguish ed fellow-townsman to the people of this district, for his eminent ser vices, both upon the field and in the halls of legislation, have made his name a household word throughout the state. If Capt. Carlton is elect ed to congress, we venture nothing in promising our people an able and fearless representative, who will guard with equal vigilance their honor and their interests. Capt Carlton is not a self-selected can didate, but it was only after earnest and repeated calls that he consent ed to enter the race. We say to the voters of the Sth distiict, that if you want war record, the gallant com mander of Troupe Artillery will give you all that you require; if you want brains and ability, Capt. Cat! ton is the peer of any man in Geor gia; if you want integrity, this gen tleman’s honor has never been ques tioned. Indeed have the voters of our district just reason for congrat ulation that they are given a choice between two such incorruptible democrats and deserving gentlemen as Messrs. Carlton and Reese, and we feel no hesitancy in promising our people that the campaign will be conducted on the highest plane. Let us abstain from any personali ties during the conflict, but leave the choice of our congressman the unbiased and unprejudiced judg ment of the people. This is Capt Carlton’s earnest desire, and the exalted and patriotic sentiment* proclaimed in his letter to-day will be his guide tor the campaign. In advance, we pledge the same on the part of Hon. Seaborn Reese. Thu* knowing the two distinguish ed aspirants for congressional hon ors in this district as we do, we feel assured that the campaign will be a model one—free from the bitter ness, excitement and abuse that have brought reproach upon the very name ot candidate. * We learn that a delegation of the K. of L. in Atlanta waited first on Major Bacon and asked how he stood in regard to certain demands they asked. That gentleman very properly replied that he had' not given the subject any thought, but would consider it and give an an swer in a few days. Gen. Gordon was next called upon, and without a moment’s hesitation he agreed to all that was asked. Now, we do not know whether this report is true or not, but it seems very much in keeping with the character ot the two men—one is a cautious and conservative man, who makes few promises and keeps them when made; the other is rash and impet uous, and saw only in that promise a few votes. For the Knights of Labor to take up and support Gen. Gordon, in the lace of his record on the convict question, and in defi ance of the fact that every sensible man knows he is the candidate of Senator Brown, who is each month discharging free labor from his mines to give place to the state’s felons, in order to fill his already plethoric pockets at the expense of the h'onest workingmen of Georgia, is so entirely inconsistent with the mission and demands of this order that it would bring upon the Knights the ridicule of the country. The employment of convicts in competition with free labor is one of the greatest wrongs that the Knights wish to right; and here, reports be true, for a simple prom ise they consent to support Gen Gordon for Governor—a man who has not only controlled convicts himself, but who is known to be in league with Joseph E. Brown, the boss convict man in Georgia; and further, Gen. Gordon]is to-day on THE BOND ok CONVICT LESSEES, and is thus helping to sustain an in stitution in direct antagonism to the interests ol the working classes of our state, and that the Knights of Labor are now combating with all their power. It there is a man in Georgia as deeply tainted with this convict business as Senator Brown it, is Gen. Gordon. We want the Atlanta K. of L. to think of this, and then judge a man by his acts, and not his promises. So long as Gen. Gordon’s name re mains on the bond of a convict ler- see, he is as responsible as the man who pockets the result of this labor. GORDON AND BACON YESTERDAY IN GREENSBORO. Major Bacon Takes a Kerr and Tell Ins Line --Warnlna General Gordon at Every Point —Green Connty Will Be Solid for tne Peo ple's Candidate. GORDON A RING CANDIDATE. A CHANGE OF TACTICS. The Constitution, finding that its miserable attempt to elect Gen. Gor don Governor of Georgia on his war record is about t* prove a failure before the intelligent and reasoning people of the state, has, within the past day or so, entirely changed its mode of warfare, and is now trying to see what the cry of persecution will do for its candidate. It seems that at the Augusta meeting, Major Bacon’s friends being in an over whelming majority, expressed their applause for their candidate in a most enthusiastic manner, and even while Gen. Gordon was speaking he was interrupted with “hurrahs for Bacon!” instead of the rounds ol applause he himself expected to re ceive. Towaid the conclusion of his speech, when be tried to ram those old war stories into the heads of the intelligent people of Augusta, the disappointment ot the audience was expressed in the most unmis takable terms. Gen. Gordon sat down and refused to speak further. Order was soon restored, and the gentleman was asked to continue his harrangue, that was about finish ed any way; but he saw a good op portunity to work in a little perse cution and declined to proceed, al though the best order prevailed. Not a single word was said of an insulting nature, and the only offense ( ?) consisted in the crowd cheering for Bacon instead of for Gordon. This is the whole truth in a nut shell, as we received it from impar tial gentlemen who were present. Upon this flimsy foundation the Con stitution is now trying to work the persecutin dodge tor Gen. Gordon, and see if it won’t accomplish what bis war record tailed to do. Now, it the Constitution desired to act with that impartiality the paper once promised its readers, why did it not raise this persecution wail when Major Bacon was not only brow beat, but insulted, by the Gordonites at Eatonton. -There was perpetra ted an outrage,indeedon one of the gubernatorial candidates; but the Constitution passed this by without a word of protest, and now tries to make political capital for its candi date out of a little enthusiasm in Augusta. Again, while speaking at Lexington, Gen. Gordon did not manifest any of that shrinking sen sitiveness and timidity when be sin gled out and insulted from the ros trum private gentlemen from Clarke county, and heaped upon them the most unjust and unwarranted in sults, when he knew that they had no opportunity to reply. Pir.ecu- tion would be a very mild term for such conduct. But the Constitu tion will find this persecution (?) wail, like its war whoop, will not save its candidate. The democrats of Georgia are too sensible to be caught with such chaff. The vo tera will judge of the respective merits ot the rival candidates, and not be led off by any such side issues as the great Atlanta daily is trying to raise. We particularly desire that the press of Georgia keep before the people the unmistakable fact that Gen. John B. Gordon is the candi date ot a ring of politicians that have Atlanta lor their headquarters, and to elect him is to perpetuate the po litical power of the state in the keep ing of a few men. This band of politicians, after beating every bush in Georgia for a candidate to deteat Major Bacon, at last appealed to Gen. Gordon to come to their res cue, which he did. This is the whole secret of the Gordon boom, and the question now for the sensi ble, reasoning democrats of Georgia to consider is, will I be led from the true issues of the campaign by such ulterior tactics as the Constitution is attempting to inject into the cam paign with the intention of attract ing public attention from the real and living issues, viz: Which can didate is best qualified to manage the intricate affairs of our state gov ernment? and will the people of Georgia continue upon their necks the political yoke there placed by a ring ol politicians in Atlanta? Ask me not why ray breath is pure an<1 swim Asti roe not why my teeth are white and neat. Ask me Dot v. hy my gums are firm and sound, And why no Urtarou roy teeth is found; Vik roe not why, for *ll that I can juv. Is do lixe me, use SOZO HOST each day. Major Bacon was greeted with a storm ol applause, and it was sever al minutes before he could begin. Said he: The funny, part' of this show is over. [Applause] I now invite you to the serious part of this issue. In the old days everything had its jester. Had I lived in those days and been admitted to the pres ence of rovalty, it would have been to wear the cap and bells. [Laugh ter] I have no stoiie* to tell you. I 'mend to address your reason and invite your attention to a plain state ment of the case before us. I affirm that Gen. Gordon has not the fami- larity with the busine-s of the State nor the education in State affairs to fit him for the Governor of Georgia. To show his uttet unfamilarity with Stale affairs, he has invited you my friends, to *his inauguration next January, two months after the inaguiation occurs. [Laughter.] Sould you go up there in January you would find the governor was inaugurated in November, and in all probability find it was NOT THE MAN who had extended you the invita tion [Laughterand applause] Years ago, when Gen. Gordon lived in the state the inauguration was in Jan uary, hut it was changed about nine years ago. He has been living in Florida and New Y'ork, interested in big railroad speculations, and so don’t know anything of such unim portant affairs as the«e little State affairs in Georgia. [Laughter] In Sparta a gentleman propounded seveial questions to us he wanted answered. General Gordon said he was not familar enough with some of them to answer. He did not an- swes one about public schools and one about taxation. I don’t know if these were the ones he was un- familar with or not, but HE DID NOT ANSWER THEM. My position on primaries has been persistently misrepresented by Gen. Gordon. He tries to create the impression that I am opposed to primary elections in the counties. I emphatically deny it. I distinctly avowed that where the counties de cided on either one or the other, it would have my heartiest approval. [Applause] I leave it to the coun ty, without the slightest attempt to dictate to them what they should do. [Applause] They are best fit ted to decide which is best in each case and to them I leave it with the fullest confidence. [Applause] I emphatically deny that I object to leaving it to the people. I have six times made this positive assertion to Gen. Gordon, and yet he persists in misrepresenting me. What do you think of a candidate who is driven to the extremity of misrepresenting me in the face of my positive denial, and the plain and unmistakable lan guage in my letter to him. [Great applause] He then gave his posi tion on THE RAILROAD COMMISSION, l he convict lease and the sale of the State road. My competitor said he would oppose leasing the road to any competing line. I go further and say I should oppose leasing it to any road whether a competitor or not. [Great applause] As to this resignation business—I regard Gen Gordon’s resignation from the Senate as an important feature in this campaign, and I must regard my resignation from the Ninth Georgia regiment as very unimpor tant, for my honorable competitor served me with notice that as long as I continued to criticise his resig nation from the senate he would give it to me on my resignation from the Ninth Georgia, or, in other words, if you’ll say nothing about me I’ll sav nothing about you. [Laughter] I decline to enter any such a bargain with the gentleman. [Applause.] I fear not his criticism or the judge ment ot the people. [Applause.] MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR. I did my duty on the field of ac tion as faithfully as he did. My love ot the South was as pure, and ser vice as devoted, although it may have been less brilliant. [Applause] Any assertion or insinuation that I left the ranks tor an improper rea son, or for any cause other than my physical unfitness for service testi Gen. Gordon says, continued Ma jor Bacon, that he came into this race in answer to a spontaneous de mand of the people. [Laughter.] Well, there may be different views o 1 spontaneity. When it is known that letters were sent out all over the state to inspire the spontaneous call it does not look quite so spon taneous. [Laughter.] Now they had a right to send letters. I wrote to my friends in e very county, but they were straightforward letters, letters signed by me, and I told them I wanted to be governor, and I tell you so to-day, my friends. I don’t pretend that there is a sponta neous tidal wave of popular feel ing in a hundred counties demand ing mv election, and then go around speaking for hours to these same spontaneous people to vote for me. [Laughter and applause ] Here is a letter purporting to be written and signed by Gen Gordon: Atlanta, May 15th, 1S86.—My Dear Sir: The campaign before us is so short I am compelled to rely largaly on the organization of my friends in the counties which I am unable to reach.

He then read an interview in which Governor Colquitt had asked Gen. Gordon to wait three weeks till the session adjourned, but that he was obliged to resign in order to enter at ouce upon the duties of his new position. Then a telegram was read from Grady on the day of the resignation, saying Gen. Gordon would first take a few weeks of needed rest, when, as a matter of fact, the time of rest was spent in stomping the state. [Applause.] Gen. Gordon talks a heap about the right of the people to elect their of ficers; did he remember that when he resigned and left the governor to appoint his successor to the highest place in the gift ot the people, and one which it was peculiarly their right to elect?

On last Thursday night about ten o’clock, as Jack Champion, a color- ored man who lives near Greensboro was returning home from church he came near being killed by a freight train. He was driving a yoke of oxen and was going along’Powell’s Mills road. Where the highway crosses the railroad there is a high embank ment, and he drove on to the track never dreaming of the approach of a train. Just as his oxen touched the railroad the freight bore down on them and in a moment the wagon was almost entirely demolished, one oxen was killed outright, the other seriously hurt, and Jack was thrown violently to the ground sustaining some bruises. It was a very narrow escape, and had the train been a sec ond later Champion would have been killed. They paid Champion $25 as dam ages. Career of a Prodigal Count.

Tbs Genuine has Trade Mark and crossed rod lines on wrapper TAKE NO OTUEJ3L Fish Ponds a Failure. Carnchvillo (Gs.) Register. Several years ago quite a number of fish ponds were started in this county, and stocked with carp. The most astonishing result was predict- ed and expected. The tish, is was thought, would multiply by thous ands annually, and grow to the weight of from one to four pounds the first year, and grow still .nore rapidly in succeeding years. It was also believed the carp was an excel lent fish tor table use. In all these expectations, the carp raisers have been disappointed; the fish neither grew nor multiplied very rapidly, neither do they taste well after they attain considerable size. There may be more than onq reason for the fail ure of growth'and increase, but we offer one that is conclusive. The ponds rarely exceed, or even reach one fourth of an acre in size. The young are estimated by thous ands each spring, but we will cut them down to 1000. These are ex pected to grow to the weight of two pounds each, the first year, making 2,000 pounds ot nutritive food. To produce a'ton of flesh would require ten pounds ot food. Where is the food to come from? Does any one expect ten tons of flies, bugs and worms, to fall into, crawl into, or rear in a fourth acre pond. The lood necessary to raise a ton of fish would be equivalent t0:375 bushels of corn. This estimate leaves out all* former crops still in the pond—inclnding one spawn of a thousaud fish. A little figuring will show every owner of a carp pond Uiat his sanguine expectations were obliged to, fail.
