To Our Subscribers.

»S5~cl reds are in arrears for subscrip-
eS“tion. We hove fully determined
te&'lo adopt tho CASH SYSTEM
I©*ibr subscription, as that is the on-
fiddly plan publishers can adopt with*
SSTout loss. As our earnings are all
*riS~in the hands of our patrons, in
eSrsums ranging from 82.00 upward,
#a>“a failure to collect them will be
R3“Cnanci:d suicide. Therefore, we
entrust our patrons will not allow
J®“us to appeal to them in vain.
IGfNext week every subscriber who
fctf-is in arrears will find a statement
S®“of his account attached to the
SSTmargin of his paper. When
fiffir-you receive tho statement we want
t&'you to conclude that we expect

the newspapers of the State, and Mr.

that sympathy for an old man, in the

by such rough denunciations and

Mr Emory Speer must have been
in some very disastrous and sanguin
ary battles during the war, as he
seems to be the only survivor of his
company or command at least in this
District or this portion of the coun
ty.
In the last issue of the Southron,
it is hard to tell whether that paper
is strongest in its praise and defense
of ex-Governor Bullock, or in its
advocacy of Speer as the Indepcn
dent candidate for Congress from
this distoict.
•Some of Mr. Speer’s Jackson coun
ty frieuds were over in Gwiunett last
week trying to “ whoop up ” the in
dependent movement. Mr. Speer
failed to meet them, and one at least
of the party left thinking the inde
pendent road a hard road to travel

we make the following extracts, for
the especial benefit of the Indepen

In urging the voters of the 5th

in further urging theimpoitnn.ee of

follows

Why Not Wow ?
In the better days of the Republic
and when politics was ata higher
standard thau now, if we remember
•right, the United States SeuAjprs,"
whenever the interest of the parties
thus honoring them demanded it,
were ever ready and sure to be in the
field of labor, in bcl alfof their respec
tive parties. Why not now ? Can it
be that our Senators Gordon and Hill
consider their re-election paramount
to tho success of the Democracy, and
are too timid to enter the field during
the Congressional campaigns this fall ?
In six out of niue Congressional Dis
tricts, independents have already an
nounced their candidacy and are ac
tively at work seeking to disorganize
and disintegrate the Democratic party,
and we have hut little doubt that
such will soon be the case in-olTof the

It Don’t Look Well.
But a short while s-ince Mr. Emory
Speer as a true, earnest Democrat
was giving II. P. Farrow arid the
liailieal party “hail Columbia.’’ But
now he has changed his tactic*. The
hatchet has been burned, Farrow
and Speer are now hand and glove,
and Emory in his unceasing
and unrelenting warfare upon
the Democratic party hopes lo beat
it out the 5th of November next,
through the aid of Farrow and the
Radical party. Well this may be
taken by some as good evidence of a
true Democrat, but really we cant so
see it. At any rate while we would
not call Mr. Speer or many of his fol
lowing Radicals, yet we must say
this kind of political tactics don’t
look well in a true Jeffcjsonian Dem
ocrat.
tere.-t < f party and country so irenera-
lively demanded that evei v true Dem
ocrat should he at his post, eji f aud
doing. Again, is it not the duly of
our Senators to go out among the peo
ple and give an account of'their
stewardship ? The field is invitiug
and the harvest abundant, aud we see
r.o rood reason why Senators Gordon
and Hill should not nt once step to
the front and hare their "ims'for the
success of the party, which u- so hon
ored them, and alone through the suc
cess of which, the country'tuny hope u
sure and speedy return to pound gov
ernment, and they a continuance in

Their great power and iafiueiic*
throughout the State would go far
towards solidifying and keeping in
thorough organization the Democracy,
for a glorious and overwhelming vie
torv in November next, aud hdd new
lustre to their already honored names.
If these gentlemen have good and
valid reasons lor their silem e at this
the time of the paity’s and the coun
try’s great need, we trust ^either they
or some one in an attitude to ascertain
their reasons will give them to the
public for the benefit of an anxious
and expectant jieople.
' It is a curious coincidence in poli
tics that the Democratic majority it)
the Senate in 1860, when the seces
sionists withdrew to start the rebellion,
was about the same numerically as ft
will be when the Democracy again
come into power at thp £0d of more
than half a generation, fh that Sen-
ate the Democrats had a majority of
eleven.
The assurance of this approaching
change of power b|a stimulated the
ardor of the noble ariny of Democratic
office seekers, whose eyes aro now
longingly turned to the fleshpots oi
the Senate. They cry out loudly for
an immediate occupation of the well
paid places and s&ng sinecures now
held by stalwart Republicans. Im
patient for possession, they are unwil
ling to wait the natural order of events
and to succeed to these offices at the j
regular session of Congress on the first
Monday of December, . 1879. T' e {
next session will expire on the fourth j
of March, and with it the fortyfifih I
Congress. Therefore, unless the Sen
ate can be convened before the meet
ing of new Congress, the present offi
cers of that body will hold over for nine
months.
It is this prospect which darkens
ihe vision and stirs indignation of
thousands of patriots anxious to serve j
their country in the employ of the
Senate. They look upon the possi
bility of these nine months of posses
sion by the enemy as the greatest dan
ger which the experiment of free insti-
tutions has to encounter. They see i _ . , , . „ , , ,

ciples, jour politics aud the, gallant
manner in which you are battling
for Ibe Democratic party and its

and will be sure to win. I have this
day stopped the Southern Watchman
liter having taken it for about fifteen
years, for the following reasons: I
have heard enough of Speers* slang,
and don’t want to hear .-tRffeiore.
Again, i don’t like to hear 1 Joel A.

as that paper has been doing. For 1
have known Joel for forty years and
know him to be a perfect gentle
man, with us pure and as clear a
record both as a Christian gentleman
and as an able lawyer and Statesman,
as any man in Georgia, and further
more whoever disputes it, simply
misrepresents that honorable gentle
man.

has shown himself cmmiently worthy

There are now thirty-nine Republi

thing about him. He has served two I Republican majority of three. The
terms in the Legislature since the
war, and for the past five years has
been Judge of the County Court of
Richmond county—a position which
he has filled satisfactorily alike to the
bar and to the people. Ilis war re

before tlie people, is as good as any
man’s in Richmond county. Judge
Snead was a practicing attorney bes

good presiding officer of this Circuit,
