in Atlanta,' Friday niglit said,
‘that nceordfag tq distinguished'

ram* frutu Washington City
the ftLotra heading, are 'going
mda of some of the v Georgia
stating that Northern Demo
Washington’ ate very much
troubled about tbe opposition being
shown in Georgia to the appointment
of Governor Brown to the United
States Senate. These communica
tions from Washington go on to say,
that as Governor Brown was a re*
constructionist, tbe opposition iu Geor
gia to him, will canae both Northern
Democrats and Republican* to say
‘that all thia talk about the South
being reconstructed, and about re»
establishing tbe fraternal relations
and the like, is all bnmbug. That
the Democrats of Georgia are still so
bitter against Governor Brown be
cause he was a reconstructionists, that
they are unwilling to reinstate him in
the party, even after eight year* of
probation and adherence to their
principles aud their nominees, and
that it is the opinion of sagacious
men at Washington.lhat with such a
course the Democratic party may
aopu find itself in a minority in Geor
gia.’ Away say we, with ail, such
contemptible bosli and pitiful croak
ing as this. It is nothing in the
world but the raeauesv aud most dis
gusting effort of weak-kueed and
tugar-coau-d Democrats to resurrect
tlie laded ‘bloody shirt’ and to intim
idate the Georgia Democracy by
flautiliug it in.lbrir faces. The peo
ple of Gcorgia.have been sufficiently
nauseated with this kind of stuff and
have made up their minds to take no
more ot it, especially wheu it comes
to swallowing such adoso as Ex-Gov
ernor Joseph E.;Bro*n ax the leader
ol Georgia Democracy. There, is not
a Democrat ,in this Stale .but who
is willing to forgive Governor
Brown lor his desertion of the party
and to receive him back as a private
member, but not as a leader of the
parly. This lie should not
ask or expect; this he certainly
does not deserve. But granting for
arguments sake, that such as the
Washington corresfiondeot* seem
to fear, would or will be
the result, who is to blame tor
it ? Why unquestionably, Governor
Colquitt, wlio in order,;doubtless, to
agraudize his political fortune, does in
the nppointment of Governor Brown
as Senator, destroy all the good el-
(ecu of thusc boasted visits of bis to
the North, by which lie claims that
he did so much to reconcile the sec
tions, and calls upon the people of
Georgia to endorse a man he well
knew would never be acceptable to
the large majority of Democratic
voters who honored him with tbe
position of their Chief Magistrate.
No, let not the Democratic party of
Georgia be censured, should such a
result obtain, but his excellency Gov •
ernor Colquitt, who acted without
consulting the interest of the Demo
cratic party, and against the kuown
and ott•■expressed will of the people.)
In all candor, we would say, if the
Democratic party has to bear tbe
blamo < t such indiscretion and be
driven to pieces by such errors, such
unwise executive action, then let it
burst, since its cohesive powers must
consist, in accepting insult, and its*
tJoYefnor Brown but a short while
since, in an attack upoq General Gor
don in regard to the electoral com-
mission, heaped unmeasured calumny
npoo thd Senator and boldly
charged him with ‘bargain and tale*
with Hayes and tbe stalwarts, actu
ally with bartering away tbe presi
dency of tbe United States. General
Gordon did not no far loae his Chris
tian propriety, and Senatorial dignity
aa to term Governor Browa a 'thief
and a liar,’ but repelled the charge in
a most positive’and dignified manner.
When Governor Brown, General
Gordon and Governor Colquitt ate
parties to a political movement, which
■hocks, surprises and startles the
whole country, so much so, that the
people in criticising and commenting
upon tho same, *imp‘y echoed the
Utterance of Governor Brora in re
gard to General Gordon, in saying
the whole matter looked as if it was
a political ‘bargain and sale’ Governor
Colquitt doe* so far lose his Christian
propriety and gubemational dignity
as to *ay, they arc no better than
‘thieves and liars.’ How sad.
KEWOOJtB, THE TOOL OF JOE BROWN.
Cortes's Owa Words Satotaatlate
the Charge.
'How preposterous to talk about a
trade iu tlie face of the fact that Gov
Brown had;nothing to give me. The
offer came to me from 51 r. Mewcomb,
and was the consequence andjnot the
cause of my resignation. I had al
ready sent tny resignation to the
Governor, intending to accept anoth
er proposition made me by another
party, which was more advantageous
in a pecuniary |>oint of view, when
Mr. Newcomb learned ot my resig
nation, and made me the offer to
which I have referred. I shall accept
hia because it will not—as the other
would have done—carry me from.ray
borne and State.’
The Atlanta Conititution in com
menting upon tbe postion the news
papers of tlie State have taken on ti t
recent, Brown-Colquitt affair says,
"There are only two papers that-have
turned tbiir guns upon the governor
because of this appointment—the
Athens Banner, and tlie Sumter
Republican—and the latter assigns
other reasons On the other hand
there is the Warrenton Clipper
which has come to his support, and
tbe Qoitman Reporter which follow*.
These were formerly against him.
Outside of these we observe no
changes, and these changes sro sim
ply swing c#mertin the q tadriUe.”
We do not exactly understand
hat tbe NewcombsBrown-Colquitt
organ means by ‘swing corners in the
quadrille.’ If it means other than we
appose Governor Colquitt at this time
becauso be has done wrong end ought
to be opposed by every true Geor
gian and honest Democrat,'then it
does ns injustice by weighing our
politics In its own scale*. Our paper
is no man’s organ, we belong to no
syndicate, nor ate we a sugar-coated
Democrat. We claim to be Simon
pure in our politics, and, when we
know and l*lieve that Governor Col
quitt has done wrong and acted un
fairly and unjustly to the |«ople who
elected him to preside over them as
Chief Magistrate, we hesitate not to
say so, and do not intend to allow
our strong per-onal friendship for him
to prevent cur opposing him. Can I i n „„j[ nce $2,300,

If there never wax before any foun

tainly such a charge finda much justi
fication iD the recent political move*

we find must of the Independents en
dorsing the whole affair. Mr. Emory

would he cordially endorsed by the

STRANGE, VERT STRANGE.
General Gordon, in a recent inter
view published in this issue of the
Banner says ’Ex-Governor Brown i*
a good man,’ and compliments hitn in
other respects. Well in face of tbe
fact that Governer Brown voted for
Rufus B. Bullock for Governor in
1868, against General Gordon, and
tor which Bullock rewarded Governor
Brown, by appointing him Chief Jus
tice ol the Supreme Court, and in
face of tbe more; recent fact, that
Governor Brown, in regard to the
electoral commission, heaped unmeas
ured calumny upon Geueral Gordon,
charging him with ‘bargain aud sale’
with Hayes and the stalwarts, actu
ally bartering away the presidency of
tbe United States, we say, in face of
these facts, General Gordon, must
have a most forgetful and forgiving
nature to now term his enemy and
caluminator ‘a good man.’ But then
politics, you know, ‘makes strange
bed-fellows’ and it seems is just tbe
thing to bring out a man’s finer
nature, his true, charitable, Christian
character. j

A PAYING SHAKE OF THE HAND.
It was a gloomy hour with u*. It
was the riat of the mouth, and it
seemed that every creditor in the land
bad combined to crush us. Friends
of other days, those from whom we
had a right to hope and expect aid
and comfort, ‘walked by without cool
tributing a cent, or even a friendly
recognition, • word of solace or •
comforting' smile.” Onr exchequer
was depleted, and it really seemed
that ruin and destruction were upon
us. Our faintly knowing our itupe.
cuniosity and the unmerciful exacw
tious ef heartless creditors, met us
hungry and .with tears in their eyes as
we slowly and sadly urcuded our way
to our once happy but now distressed
home. This was certainly the darkest
and most trying hour <>f our journal
istic administration. ‘Then it was,
that there walked calmly and firmly
into our office the form of Bill Skyles,
who with imperturbable face, extend,
ed his hand to us and said, here ia tny

When in onr reflections, it is re
membered that the Presidency of the
of the United States was stolen by
the Rtdical* and given to Hayes, and
the will of the Democracy of Georgia
disregarded and Governor
Browti appointed as United States
Senator, it would *e»m to us, that it
was about lime for true, respectable
and nnadulterated patriotism, pure,
hunting and ti lling eloquence, bold,
heroic and determined action, to again
