■ - . WEEKLY BANNER-WATCHMAN TUESDAY JU LY iSSC.. -CLARKE (BOUNTY METHODS.’ Now (fan J the nomination of Gen. | |orilon is Assured and nothing moi e be /gained by slandering the *d popple of our county, we tped thfiat the Constitution would ve itfi senders a rest on its “Clarke i ’atIf methods” cry. There was -hi£ng in it from the tirst—as >me half dozen counties had acted |ven previous to Clarke, one of iem going for Gen. Gordon—and -e presumed that this, paper had .nglcd out our county from the lot • wing to the prominent position it ad always occupied in politics, nd that >t might make the more ipilal lrom it. But now since the ontest is over, and the Constitution j ill keeps up that to dish charge, begins to dawn upon our people jut there is a deeper meaning in j this than a mere campaign cty. /Acems that the Constitution, tompted cither by hatred, envy, ralousy or malice against the d«- locracy ol Clarke, has deliberately •t to work with the intent of prep living the state against our conn- , by holding its people up to puh- ; ridicule and contempt as politi- il thieves and tricksters. It seems ,at the Constitution, because it mnot twist and warp the ilcraoc- cy of Clarke to suit its own polit- il ends and interests, is now try ■ g td destroy their inlluence and jbwer by heaping upon them the cost unjust censure. ll this is not ‘uc, why does not the Constitut'-oe Wauor ami say something about urke'veouuty, that went l< r J. 1 ones, or Dee, that went tor John 1. Gordon, or the several olhet junties that ate in the same boat ■ith Clarke? Tl.is would show to .s rentiers that Claike is not alone iu eclining to wait to git permission jom the Atlanta Constitution before {electing iter delegation,and that s!u Us a precedent lot what she did. jne to read the Constitution would {link that Clarke county had com- litted the unpaulonable political n, and was a fester on the demo- ratic party of Georgia—a leper rat should he avoided by all good nd honest politicians. The truth , we only followed the example icing set by other counties—one o. ‘ hitch sent Gordon delegates—and e exercised a right of managing teir own alTairs, w ithout outside lerference, that we still claim and rill maintain. That meeting was ailed during the session of our sit- erior court, and a two weeks' no- fication given through the public Trsj, It was held in the.opera touse, the most public and- conve- dent place in the city, and ample ppoitunily given even votei to ttend.

S. .1, Dobbs, an ardent friend of Gen lotdon, ami for years chairman <>! it Claike county democracy, will ell you that the meeting was legal- * called and the deli gates fairly ap- ointetl. Now, in the face ol al. lift, the Constitution, even sitter te campaign is over, continues its faulting slurs about "lebuktng Plarke county methods," with a indiclivenesx that show?, out peo. le there is something deeper be- ind this than the mere echo of a umpaign song. Why does the Constitution not talk about "I.ee aunty methods,” 01 “Huike conn- ,.’ methods?” Our people have al lays been generous patrons ot the Constitution, one ol its editors was otn and reared here, and when a it! The “Clarke county methods,” I long to that denomination.

Ira Vsnduzer was botn and raised in Elhcrlon, Ga , and his father, the late Judge Yanduzer; was a lawyer of considerable note, and one ol the brainiest and purest men we ever kntw. Ira Yanduzer graduated* at Vanderbilt University with honor, when he settled in Hartwell to prac tice law, becoming a partner with lion. F. 15. Iloilges. A few months since he married Mrs. Anna Snow, daughter of Col. Iloilges, and an amiable and highly accomplished lady. Ira Yanduzer has already madc his mark at the har, and he is on one side or the other of every important case in his county. lie is naturally of a retiring disposition, avoids notoriety; but inherits a limitless and courageous determi nation when in the right thst knows no such word i s yield. He is the soul of Honor, and a strong sense ol justice anti fairness hfs character ized him since a hoy. He little Ireamed, when introducing his res olution, that it would make him not only famous, but insure to him the lasting gratitude of his people. To show how Mr. Yanduzer stands at home, we have only to refer to he handsome endorsement his county gave him through Capt. Carlton. When the time comes, his old home. Elbert, will second Hart in doing honor to so true and noble a son. lowed to hear Capt. Carlton speak, and then attack the Christian char acter of one of the ablest and pur est ministers ol Christ in the South. Such methods will never win, and Seab. Reese and his backers will soon find so to their chagrin. l HE MEMRER FROM THE EIGHTH. II Oil- Allen I). C antller has giv en notice to the people of the 9th district that there is a vacancy in trie l nited States Naval Academy, at Annapolis, Mtl., and ht> orders a competitive examination in Gaines ville on the 14th of August.

The Charleston News anil Cou rier is informed that the Telegraph declines to discuss moral ethics with a fellow whose hands are be touted with the swag wrung from a prostrate people by political patiahs.— Macon Tele -raph. AFRAID To TRFST THEIR MEN Iu Lexington, Reese’s friends kept a book at his headquarters, in :h his supporters were required to register their names beneath a s ilcntn pledge that they would pos- ely support him. Efforts were also made, we learn, to keep as many of his men as possible from listening to Capt. Carlton's speech, and we saw a number of his fol lowers that you could not get near the rostrum. But this registering Mr. Seabon Reese* is a genial clever whole-souled gentleman, a true and tried democrat, and an honest and incorruptible man. Not one of Capt. Carlton’s ftiends has ever disputed the above facts, for it would be lalse and slanderous on Mr. Reese. Now, while these traits would make him a good and agreeable companion,and a valuable friend, at the s£me time they are not the requisites for acongress- min. We do charge—and defy Mr. Reese’s friends or organs to repudiate it—that he has neglected his duties in Washington, and fail ed even to exercise such ability as he possessed as he should have none in the interest of his people. Through carelessncls or indolence he refused to reply to thousands of important business letters address ed to him bv his constituents, and his face was rarely seen in the dis trict until he began to ask foi a re- election to congress He has net secured for his people as many of fices as he could have done, and act ually let Col. Candler, from the 9th district, capture both of ihe postal clerks on the North-Eastern road, when Mr. Reese was fairly- entitled to one of them, and he had good and faithlul men applying for the pla.e. Instead ot attending to the business entrusted by the people to his care, he has flittered away his time in Washington, and when ask ed to render an account of what he had done the past four years, could only cite to a vote against the oleo margarine bill. The little city of Greeneville, S. C,, and other places the size and population of Athens, have secured appropriations from the government to erect public buildings, and yet Mr. Reese has not lilted his voice to secure any- thirg for his people. Hence we assert that Mr. Reese has done no thing to warrant being returned for a font th term, and it is gteedy anJ unreasonable lor him to ask it when there are so many men tar more capable to represent our dis- trict in this capacity. Again, Wc assert that Mr. Reese is not tile candidate of the people, but is hacked by a certain ring of politi cians, who have headquarters in the little court-house towns, and they have promised him in ad vance the support of their respec tive counties—an injustice to the and tattling speech Horn our Cun- gressman; and that he would lay bare his valuable public services. We imagined that Mr. Reese would enlighten his constituents as to whst he had done for them during those four years, that they might pat him on his broad hack and say, “W«l done, thou good and faithful sei- vant!” But, alas! we were doomed to disappointment. We heard Con gressman Seab. at Lexington, and a more rambling, rattling, disjointed oration never fell upon the expec tant ears ot a victimized constitu ency. Although this was Mr. Reese’s first appearance before* his people on his return home, he diu not speak over half of his alloted time, and then it was one of the poorest defenses we ever heard set up by a man occupying so impor tant a position. The only thing ht told the people was that he had voted against the oleomargarine bill, and recited what great things u was going to do for the country, ll theieis anyone public measure that the people ot the Sth Georgia dis-’ trictaie the least interested in, it is that oleomargarine bill. We don’t suppose thcte is one voter in a thou sand in our district who ever saw » piece of oleomargarine, and it is a matter of perlcct inuiflerence tc them whether our neighbors up in Yankeedom use pure or bogus but ter. But as voting against this ole omarguiiec bill was the only ac count that our congressman gave 01 his stewardship, we suppo,c it is al the benefit our people have receiveu lrom the twenty-odd thousand dol lars in salary paid to lii.-n. Ni■, Seab.,we don’t want any n.oieoe r- maigarine congressmen. We have given one a trial for tour years, anu have more than enough of him. Wt want some man to represent us who will not insult hit. constituency by refusing to answer their letters; who will help us get appropriations through to build new posl-uflices, a.rd who will watch over and care fully guard the interests of his cou stituuucy. buxiness! Was it not the most d grading insult that could be offered i vo,ers ,he co «nDy, who have a free and intelligent voter, and did it n rt show that Mr. Reese knew he could not hold his own with Capt. Carlton in debate and he wanted to bind his men to him with something stronger than a promise -—m black and white—hefote they w.-re- permitted to compare his abil- i y with his opponent’s? We n'te surprised that in the grand old county of Oglethorpe men could be found to place such an insulting stigma on their intelligence and manhood as this registering affixed! Even such a proposition was a shameful insult to a man, for it ipresentative of that paper visits simply meant that he must be the te Classic City he is received with j political serf of Seah.

The !arke county democracy has done yfiUSh for its party and the state -any section of Georgia, and we quished his right to be guided Ily ins own judgment and to vote for the man he thought the best quali fied to represent bis district in con gress. We have frequently spoken of the degrading depths to which el the more keenly the fiendish 1 modern politics sometimes descend, iiture of this attempt to disgrace & throughout the state. The Con- fitution’s continued attack on larke county, now that the race is ver, without giving a single exten ding cause for our step, is a shame ftd an outrage, and any fair-mind- 1 man—be he for Gen. Gordon or 'ajor|Bacon— will tell you so after ting informed as to when and how t e appointed our delegates. The laTke county democracy accepted { e defeat of its candidate with pa- Lotic gtace, and the Bnnner- vitcbman, so soon as the result as known, avowed its intention >support Gen. Gordon, if he had ^position, with the same zeal that Had battled for the candidate of ■.choice. The Constitution had I * on a great and wonderful victory, »d in an editorial we did not seek > deprive that paper of one leaf of s laurels.

It was most wonderful political victory, nd the Constitution, hacked by the but have never as yet seen anything so debasely degrading to an intelli gent and independent voter, as the move made by Mr. Reese and his leaders to tie him upon the dav of an election belore he was permitted to hear a joint discussion between the two candidates. We tru-t that, for the honor of old Oglethorpe, the list will be destroyed and never brought to light again. Ev&n were we a Reese man, there is not money- enough coined to make us affix our name to such a degrading paper.

A Meeting of Two Young intellectual Olaats —some Fine specimen! of Mountaineer Humor—Incidents of the Campaigns in tbe Old Ninth District-Pointing Out the Man Who Defeated Hlm--Oen. Gordon Stealing the Independent Thunder. The other morning Judge Emory Speerond Mr. Tinny Uuoker met in the Banner-Watchman sanctum, and - fir several hours fought their old campaigns- o’er again, this time as friends and in the best of humor. We do not know wher. we were more highly entertained than in listening to these two brilliant gentle men recounting their experiences on the stump and resurrecting forgotten inci dents and anecdotes connected with the famous campaign in which they were pitted against each other. It was cer tainly a battle of intellectual giants, for there were not a pair of brainier young ■ten in the South than Itucker and Speer. “Yes, Emory,” remarked Rucker, “but the meanest thing you ever did me was at Lawreuceville, where I had come to meet you and reply on the part of Col Billups. There was no division of time, ind yon had the tirst say. Well, you itarted in at 1 o'clock sharp, anil talked md talked and talked, f thought that lou never would finish. The crowd ihowcd evident signs of restlessness, >ut still you kept on. At last you saw •hat it was impossible to hold them iny longer and sat down at T uinutes past 4—having spoken just a ■ittie over 3 hours. When.1 arose to put a iny reply there was a regular stain .iede, and I had only empty benches to qieak to. *.*1 “fcut you did a far meaner trick than hat to another one of the Billups orators. It was at Danialsville, and he went over o reply to you. You had the crowd, and after l.trrangueing them for over two hours, took your hat and apologized for leaving the court-house, saying that you aad an engagement to speak at Nicholson hat night. The hoys saw that this broke up all hope of a joint debate* and the fun incident thereto, and to a man followed you out, just as my distinguished friend irose with ‘Friends and fellow-country men.’ I consoled him with the remark that the boys had only gone out to liquor up and would soon return; but that was the last we saw of the crowd.” *** J udge Speer remarked that there is a quaint humor about the Georgia moun taineer that is both rich and original, and during his campaigning up .the country he often witnessed sudden outbursts of it. At Clayton, he was speaking against Col. Bell, and that gentleman in his re marks was comparing himself to an old, reliable horse, while he made of Speer a frisky young colt, utterly untrustworthy, ind not even bride-wise. J ust at this interval, a gawky young voter, barefooted and with copperas pants, who had been carried away with Speer’s speech, yelled out to Col. Bell: “Yes; but you are too old a boss for me to try—you stems ycr fodder!” Col. Bell's teeth are projecting and stand wide apart, and the ridiculous appropriateness of the remark at once seized the crowd and they literally yelled Bell down. V The .1 mlge says the most ridiculously amusing remark he ever heard one of these mountaineers make was up in Lumpkin county. One old fellow, a few nights before, while out fox hunting, fell into an old shaft, hut escaped with only a few bmises. He was recounting his ac cident to a friend, who remembered the shaft, and remarked; “Well, Uldeclar! You must have fell twenty feet.” “Fully that,” was the reply, “and had the shaft been deeper I’d have fallen further than that!” Absolutely Pure and Unadulterated.

Gib son, of Oglolhorpe, are justly indig nant at the attempt by Mr. Reese’s friends to drag him into politics, and besmirch the name of this great divine in order to make capita 1 1o their candidate. The position ol Mr. Gibson in Ihe congressional contest was most unjustly assailed, and reports circulated about his at titude toward the rival candidates that were as unkind and unjust as they were untruthful. While Mr. “IS IT POSSIBLE : Incident or His Army Career.

In the mean time hoping that the fiat has gone forth that our friend, Dr. H. H. Carlton, is to be our next representative from the Sth con gressional district of Georgia, for I' think he deserves it,for he laid aside a good practice in medicine in 1S61 though quite young, and rushed to the front—the same place General Goidon was, and although he could have been promoted, he had prom ised the boys to stick to them as captain, and he kept that promise and surrendered with Gordon and Lee at Appomattox, the same Capt. Carlton-.and whatever he promises his constituents a%a representative in Congress, he will do as certain as death and taxes. Now, I don’t want you to forget this. Doctoi knows 1 don’t ask him any favors, as I have ho ax to grind, hut my solicitude for him is because 1 have known him from a boy, and his friendship to me and mine while in the war has rivited me to him, so that nothing but death will ever separate me from him. 1 remain as ever a true democrat.

Mr. Gibson is justly indignant and out raged that such an assault should have been made by Mr. Reese’s friends on his Christian character, and says that there is positively not one word of truth in it. - He was 'also charged with working in the political interests >ot the Baptist de nomination.
