Forsyth, November 22, 1871.
A convention of the Democratic
party will assemble in Atlanta on
Wednesday, the 6th day of Decern*
ber next, at 10 o’clock A. M, to nom
inate a candidate for Governor.
By direction of the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee.
Clifford Anderson, Chairman.
Bishop Beckwith, of the Episcopal
Church, will preach in the Court-
House in Cartersville, to-night (Wed

public are invited to attend.
Alabama and Chattanooga
Railroad —This road, so long a
bone of contention between Stanton
and his creditors, has been reopened.
Col. W. W. WLiite, of Marietta,
has been made Us Superintendent.
With his great ability as a railroad
man, coupled with bis energy, we
may soon expect him to have the
through mail to New Orleans, as well
as travel. We learn from Col.
White that he will make the time
from Chattanooga to New Orleans
twelve hours quicker than any com
peting line from Chattanooga.—At
lanta Sun.
General W. T. Wolford, of this
place, who was appointed receiver
for Georgia, in connection with Mr.
Gindrat, receiver for Alabama, in
forms us that matters connected with
this road, have been arranged satis
factory to all parties, and that it is
now in full operation, and doing well.
Much feeling has been stirred up,
and bitter feelings too, and serious
consequences have resulted there
from, but through the cautious man
agement of theso gentlemen, they
have to a great extent, been allayed.
We are rejoiced to learn that the re
ceivers have been so fortunate in se
curing a superintendent of such mer
its and business tact as Col. W. W.
White.
We are also pleased to learn that
our respected fellow citizen, Col. 11.
F. Price, has been appointed Treas
urer.
The Demand for Iron. —The
amount of railroad building going
on in America is altogether unpre
cedented, and the consequent de
mand for iron is very great. E ven
if no new- lines were building, the
mere renewal of roadway an 1 roil
ing stock for 53,000 miles of rail,
road would require an enormous
amount of iron. Theu wa have a
tremendous increase of demand for
iron for machinely in manufactures
and for implements in agriculture
and the ordinary arts. If we take
agriculture alone, and look at the
immense annual increase of tillage,
and calculate the regular demand for
agricultural implements, we shall see
that this item is of great interest to
the iron trade. But in addition to
this we have commenced the con
struction of iron steamships, tugs,
barges and sailing vessels and iron
petroleum cans and tanks ; and the
number of inn coal cars demanded
increases rapidly ; we are also using
iron in building to an unusual extent.
In fact, iron was never before in any
thißg like the demand in America
that it is now.
A Just Appreciation of the
Value of the Country Press. —The
following testimonial from J. B.
Dinsmore, Esq., will be read with
interest, as based upon a varied
experience iu advertising:
“ My opinion of the relative value
of city and country newspapers as
advertising mediums, is decidedly
in favor of the country papers; price
and circulation being equal.
1 should prefer to have my ad
vertisement inserted in a country
paper having 500 circulation rather
than have it in 500 copies of a city
daily paper. The country readers
have fewer papers and more leisure,
and consequently read their papers
more thoroughly and take better
care of them, while a daily paper
after being glanced at is thought no
more of than last year’s almanac.
My opinion is based on twelve years’
study and experience in the busi
ness.”
HON. MARK A. COOPER.
This gentleman requests our pub
lication of the following card, and
says that should the Legislature fail
to examine into the matter, he will
furnish us the full statement of the
facts. We withhold further com
ment until then :

LatepS' AEK Cooper,
President C. and Y. W. R. R.
CAKTEKSVILI.E AND VAN WKttT
RAILROAD.
This community has for a long
time been aware of the fact that the
management of the bonds authorized
by the Legislature in aid of the con
struction of the Cartersville and Van
Wert Railroad was involved in much
mystery. The whole number of the
bonds amounting to the sum of 275,-
000 dollars, as was Rtrongly believed,
it now appears were issued before
five miles of the road was completed,
contrary to the express authority of
the act of the Legislature authoriz
ing the State endorsement. What
has become of them does not appear.
I rom the subjoined article of the
Constitution another fact appears
that in addition to these bonds, Gov
ernor Bullock has had issued $300,-
000 more to be substituted in the
place of the $275,000, and that both
sets are out. What authority he had
for so doing, it is impossible to con
ceive, or what necessity there was no
man can conjecture. About the time
of the issuing of these last bonds,
Kimball was elected President of the
Rosd, and its name changed to that
of the Cherokee Railroad. What
this had to do with the issuing of the
additional $300,000 no one can tell,
but so it was, and now both sets are
out, and the State and people are ex
pected to meet and pay them as they
may be presented by the holders.
In our judgment no clearer case of
wrong can be possibly imagined,
one which demands and which we
trust will receive the strictest exam
ination upon the part of the Legisla
ture. The road is still unfinished, and
there are $600,000 in bonds, every
one of which are illegal, and for
which the State is to be held respon
sible. The road, we repeat is not fin
ished to this day, and that portion
of it lying between Taylorsville and
Van Wert, a distance of eight miles,
instead of being made according to
the charter, a broad guage, is made
a narrow guage road. The broad
guage continues as far as Taylors
ville, and then without authority, ex
cept upon their own motion, the road
is made by its authorities, a different
one from that contemplated by the
charter and the act authorizing the
issue of the bonds.
In any possible aspect in which
this whole case can be viewed, the law
has been violated by the authorities
of the road and the Governor of the
State, and every bond which has been
issued is illegal and if resisted will
be so declared. The people of the
Stats are not in justice bound for
their payment, and the courts of law
will so hold if ever the}' shall be
called to determine their validity.
Nor can the holders of these bonds
complain, for although they were is
sued aud in the market, yet it was
the duty of every purchaser to see
that the conditions upon which the
State might be held liable for their
payment, had been fully complied
with before a purchase of them
was made. There is the char
ter, there is the act author
izing the terms of the issue
of the bonds by the Governor, there
is the road and the work done or to
be done in short there were all the
facts laid before the world from
which any one with common judg
ment might be able to see whether
the terms had been fully complied
with, and upon which the validity of
the bonds, and their final payment,
would depend; and if with the
knowledge that all the conditions
imposed by the legislature had been
violated, a purchase of them has
been made, their is no ground upon
which the people of the State could
for a moment be expected to pay
them. “Let the purchaser take care.”
is a wise and sound maxim, and, if
under the circumstances, any one
has rashly bought, he has purchased
at his peril, aud in no wise can be
held an innocent purchaser. We
do not believe that these bonds or
any of them can be collected, and we
sincerely hope that the legislature
will ventilate the whole matter, and
take such steps as will protect the
people against the harpies who are
feeding upon the public. Whatev
er is equitable under the circum
stances should be done, but these
bonds are not binding upon the
State, in fact, they are no bonds,
but are pieces of paper, as worth
less as the paper upon which they
are written, signed by Bullock.
Below we publish the statement
made by the Constitution, and also
in another place the letter of Maj.
Cooper to which we invite the at
tention of the reader.
We have learned some facts in
regard to the Cartersville and Van
Wert Railroad that excite no pleas
ant sensation in the reader’s mind.
On the 12th day of April, 1870,
Mr. Cooper, the President of the
road, delivered to Colonel D. G.
Cotting, the Secretary of State,
SIOO,OOO of the road bonds for State
indosement, taking Cotting’s receipt
for them to be substituted by Gov
ernor Bullock. The road still holds
Col. Cotting’s receipt. On the
same day the rest of the bonds to
the amount of $200,000 were de
posited by Colonel Cooper with Pe
rino Brown, agent of the Georgia
Railroad and Banking Company in
Atlanta.
On the 22d day of June, 1870,
Mr. Brown delivered to Mr. Kim
ball SIOO,OOO of the bonds in his
possession on Colonel Cooper’s or
der. And on the 9th day of Au
gust, 1870, Mr. Brown delivered
$15,000 more of the bonds to Mr.
Kimball on Colonel Cooper’s or
der.
Thus we see that $275,000 of
these bonds were issued before five
miles of the road was fully finished.
Only 3 84-100 miles from Carters-
viille to the Etowah was completed.
The law allows the State indorse
ment to the bonds of $12,500 per
mile when each five miles arc done,
or in batches of $62,500 for every
fiv‘> miles.
In addition to the $275,000 of
these bonds, Governor Bullock has
had issued $300,000 more, ostensi
bly to be exchanged for the first
$275,000, but both sets are out.
On the 11th of April, 1870, Laman,
Conant & Cos., the contractors, wrote
to Colonel Cooper requesting him to
ask Governor Bullock to turn over to
Clews & Cos., of New York, the bonds
for advances when the bonds shall
have been indorsed by him. On the
12th Col. Cooper made the request
of Governor Bullock.
. Governor Bullock indorsed these
bonds knowing the road was unbuilt.
If we had nothing else against him,
this violation of his duty alone would
justify his impeachment.
It is with pain we give these facts,
because they implicate parties respee
ted hitherto. But we have no choice.
The truth must be told, let it hurt
whom it may.
This road is 22 miles long; $275,600
is the whole indorsement it is
entitled to when done. Yet all was
given before five miles was done, and
four;een miles only is complete now.
Thus has Bullock committed the
State to the payment of a large
amount of principal and interest ille
gally. Clews & Cos. hold the $275,000.
Who have the last $300,000 is not
known.
Here is matter for the Legislature.
ENTHUSIASTIC DEMOCRATIC PRI
MARY MEETING OF RARTOVV COUN
TY, GEORGIA.
A number of the white Democrat
ic citizens of Bartow county, assem
bled at the Court House, Carters
ville, Tuesday, Nov. 7th., to hold an
old fashioned Democratic primary
meeting of the unsophisticated sov
ereigns.
The meeting was organized by
calling Col. R. 11. Cannon to the
chair, and Col. R. C. Saxon to act
as secretary.
On motion by Col. 11. A. Crawford,
the Chair appointed the following
gentlemen a committee to designate
suitable delegates to represent the
Democracy of Bartow county, in a
Convention, soon to be ordered, by
the Legislature, or the Democratic
Executive Committee, to nominate a
candidate for Governor, to fill the
unexpired term of R. B. Bullock re
signed : Col. Crawford, Dr. Simms,
A. P. Wofford, Thos. Tumlin and
Col. Hooper.
The committee retired, and after
a, short absence, returned and repor
ted, through their Secretary, Col.
Hooper, the following Preamble and
Resolutions:
Whereas, in view of the fact, that
Rufus B. Bullock, late Governor of
Georgia, has resigned, and the Leg
islature is likely to pass a law order
ing an election for Governor at an
early day, therefore
jßesolved, That Col 11.. A. Craw
ford, Col. R. H. Cannon, Judge
Tumlin, J. M. Teach, Dr. J. C.
Simms, A. Johnson, Wm. Milner, T.
W. Hooper, John Shuler, Col. 11. F.
Price, J. C. Roper, T. J. Lyons, W.
F. Weems, T. W Milner and A. P.
Wotford, citiizens, in connection with
our worthy Representatives, John W.
Wofford and John W. Gray, are here
by authorized to represent the De
mocracy of this county in the Con
vention that may be called to put in
nomination a Democratic candidate
for Governor.
Resolved , That we are first for
General W. T. Wofford of our own
county, knowing that he is strictly
an honest man ; that he belongs to
no clique ; cannot be bought by any ;
is a true Democrat; in whom there
is no guile, and that under all cir
cumstances he will do right, and hon
estly investigate the conduct of all
officers of the State Goverement, and
let the odium of misconduct fall on
the evil-doer as it should.
The preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted.
Resolved , That the proceedings of
this meeting be published in the
Cartersville Standard & Express
and the Atlanta Constitution.
On motion the meeting adjourned.
R. H. Cannon,
President.
R. C. Saxon,
Secretary.
The Dalton Citizen makes an
earnest appeal to the Legislature in
behalf of the farming interests of
the country. This is well. We
need more business and less politics.
Georgians should talk farming more,
and politics less.
INDIANA.
Indianapolis, November 17.
The three negroes who murdered
the Park family near Henryville,
Indiana, were taken from the jail at
Charelston at 2 o’clock this morn
ing by a mob of one hundred and fif
ty men in disguise and hanged from a
tree half a mile from the town.
The Calhoun Times “scents the
breeze from afar.” It hoists the
name of General W. T. Wofford for
Governor.
Wofford is a good man. He
would make an able and honest
Chief Magistrate. He does not be
long to the faction of Impractica
bles.—New Era.
According to the count of the At
lanta Sun, there are twenty-three
ne°ro members in our General As
sembly—six in the Senate and sev
enteen in the House.
“ Benjamin’s mess,” Bullock’s un
expired term*-
Ku-Klux potatoes, “ nigger kill
ers.”
Hon. Sanford E. Church says
a Grant can be made to come out of
the next canvass the worst beaten
man that ever ran for President.”
We like the doctrine of that Church.
WHAT CHICAGO DID FOR ATLANTA
During the winter of 1865, and
the whole of the year 1366, there was
a rush of indigent persons from the
country to Atlanta. They were at
tracted to this point by. the rations
which were issued by the Govern
ment. The issue of these rations
was suddenly stopped. These un
fortunate people were left without
food. In addition, the small pox
broke out among them and became
epedemic. Sherman had left the
city in ruins.
Iu this straight the City of At
lanta issued a Circular asking aid
from more favored communities.
This Circular was distributed
throughout both the North and
South. From the South, according
to its means, the response was
prompt and liberal.-
From the North of Mason and
Dixon’s line there was one, and but
one, favorable response. That re
sponse was made by a gentleman in
Illino s, whose name we have been
unable to learn, who filled a railroad
car with provisions, took charge of
it, and delivered it in Atlanta. All
honor to him.
Among other cities, the circular
referred to was sent to Chicago, then
in the very flush of prosperity. The
City Council of Chicago replied to
to it by addressing a communication
to the City Council of Atlanta, stat
ing, in the most curt terms possible,
that they bad no legal right to ap
propriate money for such purposes.
Not one word of sympathy, not the
inspiration of a single hope, but a
bald, naked, rude denial, based upon
an alleged legal inability. Silence
would have been less cruel and in
sulting. Suppose other corporations
in America and Europe bad poured
iu cold statements of legal
instead of money and provisions for
the sufferers by the recent conflagra
tion of Chicago ? That condition
would be readily understood by one
who had seen Atlanta as it was.
But the conduct of the Council of
Chicago was quite consistent with
the conduct of the people of Chicago
after the burning of Columbia, South
Carolina. We are informed that,
upon the reception of the news of the
bnrning of Columbia by Sherman,
before the fires had died out, before
the wail of the houseless women and
children had ceased to pierce the
air, a grand torch-light procession
was held in Chicago in honor of this
most Christian deed!
We are induced to write this article
by the whining of Mr. Henry Ward
Beecher over the lamentable want of
charity of the South as evinced by
its general failure to forward con
tributions to Chicago. What right
has Mr. Beecher to throw stones?
What did Plymouth Church give
to -Atlanta and Columbia? What did
Mr. Beecher, from his affluent salary,
give? It is true, we had been enemies,
but we were prostrate enemies. The
charity of which he speaks, and for
the want of which he abuses the South
would have then been conspicuously
illustrated by help to a suffering and
helpless foe.
The South has in small degree
given aid to Chicago. Why? In
most parts of the South we were
sturgghng for bread, and therefore
have nothing to give. We are also
human—we confess the weaknesses
of humanity. It is too much to ex
pect of this frail humanity that it
should take the bread from its own
mouth to send to Chicago, with the
icy reply to its Council yet chilling
us, and with the shouts of the /Danc
ed, Enfer” of its people after the
burning of Colunbia yet ringing in
our ears. —Pl antation.
The legislature.
The Senate passed the House bill
repealing the act organizing the
District Court. The acting Gover
nor’s approval is only needed to
make it law. The House bill reviv
ing the poll-tax' of 18G8, 1869 and
1870, and the House bill repealing
the Akerman election law were
passed. The Senate bill passed,
restricting the rewards offered for
criminals to SSOO in capital felonies,
and $250 in other felonies, was a good
one. It rectifies one tremendous
abuse of Bullock’s rule. The right
of Ordinaries to grant writs of habeas
corpus when refused by a Supe;ior
Court Judge was withdrawn. To
withhold State’s property was maoe
penal. Wives were allowed to recover
penalties from dealers w'ho sell liquor
to their drunken husbands. The last
three was Senate bills that go to the
House.
The House decided L. C. Jones,
the member from Macon, not entitled
to his seat. This was right. He has
been a citizen of Atlanta for two
years. The Radical practice of car
pet-bag representatives should cease.
The Senate bill repealing the 20th
section of Appropriation act, under
which Bullock squandered hundreds
of thousands of the State’s money,
was passed. Let us see if Conley
will sanction. It stops the bung. It
will test his sincerity for retrench
rnent. The public printing bill passed
The resolution to appoint four joint
committees, one each for Bullock,the
State road, the State road lease, and
the action of the State road Aucmiug
Committee, was passed. Tli s is
ready for Conley. A resoluii a of
Mr. McMillan, looking to the arrest
of plunderers of the State was passed.
The most important matter done
was the passage of Mr. Baejn’s
resolution in regard to the illegal
bonds of the State. While the State
will pay every honest and legal ob
ligation, she cannot and will not jay
securities issued in glaring disregird
of law, and binding on every bofiy.
One step more is needed in tlis
matter, and that is to issue in
entirely new set of State bonds oil.
This will at once correct this whole
bond complication and utterly pre
vent future trouble. We shall am
plify this idea in a future issue.

RENEWER
Every year increases the populari
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring Gray
or Faded Hair to its youthful color,
niaking it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and and, by its tonic prop
erties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create anew growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical Hair Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D.,
State Assay er of Massachusetts, says,
“The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality ;
and I consider it the Best Prepa
ration for its intended purposes.”
Sold by all Druggists, and Dealers in Medicines.
Price One Dollar. ;
Buckingham’s Dye.
FOR THE WHISKERS.
* As our Renewer in many cases
requires too long a time, and too
much care, to restore gray or faded
Whiskers, we have prepared this
dye, in one preparation ; which will
quickly and effectually accomplish
this result. It is easily applied,
and produces a color which will
neither rub nor wash off. Sold by
all Druggists. Price Fifty Cents.
