GoVehror Brown did nut have‘a Uttered mucket ball iu the palm of hie hand,’ but he evi dently had,Jt ^arpnee^m his mind, General Gordon in hia epecch in Atlanta,' Friday niglit said, ‘that nceordfag tq distinguished' Democratic, authority,, the appomt* rnent of Governor Brown was the best thing which could 'haire' been done for tho Democratic party in Georgia.’ If tl»ia be true, God knows the ‘.liiiiugnW^ DtiimeAtfc' authority’ px**\,, V|Pi pa«y in a mg»t bOpelv**:Condittop, yon most awfully rotten corrupt. 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.

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 CHANGED THE PROGRAMS. for distribution in a lew days.

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.
