We have lost five subscribers on

than twice overbalanced on account
of new names added by those who ad

Congress convened on Thursday
last. Nearly all the Senators and
’.Representatives emerged from the
Christmas holidays with whole bones
and clear heads, and now the work
%*f organization having been com
pleted, we may expect a lengthy and
stonny session.
On Saturday last, Mr. N. J. Gaddis,
#' the firm of Williams, 1’itner
Gaddis, of Gaddistown, Union county,
Georgia, reached Atlanta with a large
drove of hogs an J beef cattle which
iie shipped by rail from that point to
New Orleans. This is truly compli
mentary to the enterprise of some of
the citizens of our State, and should
be a lesson to many who doubtless
have facilities equal to those of the
above named firm for raisiug stock.
Hon. George H. Pendleton
“For Heaven’s Sake, Give
Us a Rest.”
An “incensed subscriber of the
Banxer,’’(?) is disgusted, according
to a communication in the last
Watchman, because of the discussion
relative to the “ Independent move
ment-” We quote as follows:
“Are we forever to have thrust
under our noses, and .before our eyes
nothing but attacks on the Independ
ent movement? Is there nothing
which can interest the readers of the
Banner (alias Georgian) save this
worn out song, “ Beware of the Inde
pendent movement?” Surely some
of the readers of the Banner feel
interested in the Northeastern Bonds.
Why not devote one little half column
to strengthening the back bone and
stiffening the knees of our Sunday
School Superintendent and anti race
course Governor? Is it possible that
the people of the Ninth Congressional
District feel no interest in any ques
tion save the single issue, Who shall
represent us in Congress ?”
* S: S: *
“ And now, in conclusion, one word
of advice: Write more that will in
terest your readers and complain less
of your own defeat, and you will
have a better paper. If, forsooth,
you just can’t stand it, must give
utterance to the trouble whioh op
presses you, attack Hon. Hiram
Parks Bell, else no one in t his end of the
District will ever be troubled by being
opposed to an Independent Congress
man. And now, kind Banner, ta-ta,
“ farewell to the little good ye bear
me.” Should you see the error of
your ways, commence an endeavor to
publish a newspaper, quit harping
forever upon one string, cease being
a one idea organ and extend the cir
cle of your editorials; let me assure
you that your readers will be de
lighted at any change, and possibly
yonr paper, albeit appearances arc
greatly against you, may “ fill an
aching void in journalism on that side
of tho street.” >
Old Time Democrat.”
We answer: 1st With our last
gasping breath, we shall, warn the
unsuspecting against the “ Indpend-
ent movement,” as being in full sym
pathy with the Radical party. Those
who are posted, need not be told of
the fact.
2nd. We have discussed the North-
‘ast“m Bonds to the full satisfaction
of our readers, as well as all other
subjects pertaining to the advance
ment of the varied interests of Athens
and surrounding country. In fact,
when the people want to see what is
going on, they look in the columns of
the Banner for it.
3rd. Our Sunday School Superin
tendent and anti-race-eourse Governor
have their houses already “set to
rights,” and if they had not, wo pre
fer letting them deal with their own
fortunes, while we_expose the rotten
ness of tho Independent movement.
We intend to do it, if tho Heave.is fall
4th. So far as “ incensed subscri
ber's” final advice is concerned, we
will remark that our readers in gen«
eral are weH'pleased with our course.
In conclusion, if there are any more
“O. T. D.’s.,” let them walk up and
settle. We can stand it if “ O. T. D.”

GLORIOUS NEWS.
the inter
ne
of tie Northeastern road
The Northeastern Bonds
Signed by the Governor.
Information reached the city yes
terday that Gov. Colquitt had signed
the bonds of the Northeastern Rail
road. Everybody was ’ thrilled at
the announcement, ami throughout
the entire business circle of the city
it was the all-absorbing topic of con
versation.
It had been known that^lyn. H.
H. Carlton had been in ‘Atlanta
for several days
est
but no information of his success had
bien received until yesterday when
news came from several sources that
the Governor had signed the bonds.
We have not seen Dr. Carlton to get
from him an accurate statement, but
we are assured that his earnest and
energetic efforts caused the Governor
to give the matter a careful and final
consideration. The result is the en
dorsement of the bouds for the first
40 miles. The Governor has carefully
weighed the whole case, and recogniz
ing the good faith of the State required
it, has dene his duty fully and prompt
ly. To Dr. Carlton we are indebted
for bringing to the attention of the
Governor the right of the bonds to en
dorsement, and the necessity for im
mediate action.
a political “ Independent ” we repro
duce the meaning as given by a Rad
ical Mississippi paper. If they stink
in Radical nostrils how ought they to
appear to the senses of bona fide
Democrats:
“A Radical is a Republican politi
cian who is not ashamed of the name,
and an Independent is a Republican
who is ashamed of the name, and
who denies being a Radical when
talking to Democrats, but admits it
when talking to Republicans. In
other words, an Independent is a
cross between a mean Democrat and
a mangy Republican, who caunot
be trusted by either.”—Brandon,
{Miss.) J Republican.
Col. Bob Alston, the representative
from DeKalb county, is said to be in
favor of a Dog Law to protect sheep
raising.

This distinguished statesman, of
Ohio, was nominated in caucus by the
Mraightout Democrats on the 10th
lust., as the successor of Hon. Stanley
Mathews. Mr. Pendleton received
his nomination as the representative
of the people iu their struggle against
’.lie New England bondholders.
When it is remembered that upon the
recent vote for the re|>eal of the re
sumption act in the House of Repre
sentatives, New York, New Jersey
and New England voted solidly
against tho Democrats of the Middle,
West and South, it is a matter of
pride that the latter sections have
f>ueh an able helper in Ohio as Mr.
Pendleton, for no question now before
CoDgress is of half tho importance as
tbo money question, and the New
England bondholders are in direct
opposition to the will of the people.
“ Before the late election, the colored
people were addressed as “ our col
ored friends/’ by a certain class, and
every effort made to induce them to
vote for the one-man nominee ; but
having failed, the same parties call
them Radicals, and insist that those
for whom the colored people voted
are Radicals. In the words of the
candidate, “ Oh, consistency,” etc.—
Southern Watchman.
We acknowledge that we addressed
the colored people as " friends ” and
tried to. induce them to. vote the
Democratic ticket, believing it to be
to their interest to dp so. We'said
nothing about the “one-man nominee,”,
for we know nothing of the existence
of such a nominee. Wc tried to gel
them to vote .for QqJ. Huggins who
was nominated by*more than three
* ' f
hundred of his fellow citieens, witliou*
any compromise of political princi
ples or any hope or promise of re
ward save that guaranteed by a
Excuse as, Kind Header.
The cdiiorial in the Tri-Weekly of
Thursday the 10th, while not .intend
ed as a “literary prod net idft/* and
Written only in defence of purely
Democratic principles, although class
ed by the Watchman as being “ full
of sou id and fury, signifying noth
ing,” was of sufficient importance to
evoke a reply from the dictator of
that paper of more than a column in
length. Lawslie, of the Southron is
made color-bearer of the Independent
Regiment, while the Watchman,
Leonidas-like (?) charges the Banner
ranks with that valor and "trepidity
known only to well trained soldiers,
(in his own estimation.) '
It is not our desire to embarrass
our numerous readers with an undue
or unjust difcdnssion of the “ Inde
pendent movement/’ We merely
want to keep them posted with refer
ence to the movements of that dis
affected element known as “ Inde
pendents,” whose ‘sole ambition is,
with the aid of the Radicals whom
they seek to deceive (.a majority of
thqt^party being illiterate negroes) to
gei/possession of the Sfcatc. We are
confident that our readers are suffi
ciently warned at present as to this
movement, hcnc we will not burden
them with further details. But,
when necessity requires, although the
Watchman may “ wave us down,”
we will tell what wo know about the
Independent movement, whether
palatable or not.
