In another column we print an edi
torial from the Telegraph and Mes
senger, headed “Rally ’Round the
Flag.” It contains many truths which
it is worth your while to read.
Congress has wisely about conclud
ed not to interfere to any extent with
the tariff. Only one bill for this ses
sion is promised, and that of such a
nature as meets the approval of the
entire House,
The Capitol Comm'esioners have
sent to New York for architect Post
to oome to Atlanta and make a selec

have been submitted to them for the
building of the New Capitol.
Henry Watterson, of the Courier
Journal, has been so unkind as to
charge theiConstitution with being a
republican sheet. While this is rather
a harsh accusation, the Constitution
wibely considers the source, and
moves quietly on undisturbed.
Irrepressible John Sherman comes
to the front in the United States Sen
ate with a set of resolutions which are
an insult to the South. He waves on
high the bloody shirt. He gloats in
doing what should embalm his name
in infamy and send him to history.
Billy Mahone and Emory Speer are
a nice pair. When we think of these
two snakey individuals it is with loath
ing and disgust. Poor Old Virginia!
Poor Old Georgia! Are such vipers
ever to be thrust upon you V We hope
not.
The Constitution thinks that the
most important issue before the Dem
ocratic party this year is democratic
success. But to be successlui they
must deal wisely and conservatively
with the issues that are now before
them and all others that may arise.
Emory Speer has at last been con
firmed by the Senate. Whatever
sleep Emory may have lost thinking
over the possibilities of his fate before
that august tribunal, he will nowTnake
up, and his official career will, perhaps,
be a serene one ; unless disturbed by
one of the many republican bosses of
Georgia.
Mr. Blount has presented in the
house a memorial prepared by the ex
ecutive committee of the colored con
vention held at Louisville, praying
Congress to reimburse the colored
people the amounts deposited by
them in the Freedman’s Saving and
Trust Company. The memorial re
cites the history of this institution and
the connection of Congress therewith.

Sarah Barnum, the grosly indeli
cate French novel, in which Sarah
Bernhardt’s character is so severely
attacked, is said t# be meeting with
an almost unprecedented u sale. And
the worst feature about the sale is
that some ©ld men, who have reached
their three score and ten, and whose
minds should be turned to higher and
holier things—and, in some instances
of no lower calling than ministers of
the gospel—are found to be among
the readiest buyers and most eager
readers.

SCHOOLS*
If them is one thing in The world
that we do know, it is that the negro
is well treated in Georgia. Northern
fanatical philanthropists and selfish
and unprincipled demagogues may
succeed in convincing the moresu?-
ceptible of this people that they are
not receiving their just dues at the
hands of the whites in tnis state
But such scurrilous and base endeav
or# are as impudent and unreliable,
as they are mendacious and unjust.
Last summer a few negro politi
cians, into whoso tractable minds had
been injected just enough pernicious
misrepreseutatiojn to mislead them,
held an advisory convention in
Atlanta. After many of these petti
fogging, unwise, demoralizing, re
prehensible apd unpricipled rnalcon
tents—these would-be leaders of the
negro race in Georgia—had given
vent to many silly, superficial, dis
cordant, and noxious expressions
concerning the “much to be pitied
and greatiy abused colored gentle
man, his needs and his rights,” the
convention unanimously agreed that
Georgia was not doiug her duty by
her colored citizens; and that she
ought to be forced to do more than
she has done, or is likely to do, to
wards ameliorating the condition of
the race. They also came to the con
clusion that negroes ought to be put
on the County Boards of Education.
Silly creatures! They did not know
that such a course on their part would
have the effect—if it had any effect
at all—of jeoparding the generous
and priceless privileges now accorded
them by the white people in Geor
gia. They did not know that it
would be the worst thing in the
world for them, should the state put
into their hands all the means and
appliances of working out their own
destiny, educationally and in every
other way.# They did not know that,
without the cool, clear and sagacious
intellect of the white man, to plan
aud manage for them their higher
interests, all their attempts to become
educated would be as useless as a
rope of sand. No, they did not know
these things, and many others just
as true. All they cared to do was
to make political capital for them
selves. Vain, fruitless effort theirs!
May all such efforts wilt, wither and
die just as quickly and surely.
We have on our desk the letter
sent out by Gustavus J. Orr, our
State School Commissioner. Among
other things Commissioner Orr says:
“In 1882, the tax levied for the sup
port of the State Government in all
its departments, legislative, execu
tive and judicial, was three-tenths of
one per cent. The negroes returned
property that year to the value of
$0,589,876, a fact in their history
which is very creditable to the race,
all things considered. The staje tax
on this property amounted to 'sl9,-
709.62. Now add tbtS to $120,127,70,
‘the sum paid by them to the support
of their schools as shown above, and
we have $144,897.32, a sum less than
$151,428 26, which was the cost of
their schools, by $6,530.94. It is thus
shown that the white people, who
really hold all the power of the state
government in all its departments,
allowed the negroes for the support of
their schools more than the whole
amount paid by them for all purpos
es, and then took upon themselves
all the other expenses of the govern
ment.”
By this it will be seen that the
negro pays nothing—s6,s3o.94
than nothing-for the
government his life,
rSKiy'tiiSf property. And yet some
of our exceedingly charitable, phi
lanthropic and truthful friends who
inhabit Yankeedom; some of our im
pulsive, enthusiastic and cranky
“New South” champions; and, some
of our “colored brethren”—only a
few of this latter class, we are thank
ful to say—whose feeble intellects
have been staggered and whose mi
croscDpic brains have been addled by
the miserable teachings of a fanatical
philanthropy—yet, we say, some of
these above mentioned people have
had, and still have, the brazen ef
frontery to declare that Georgia does
not give the negro his just rights!
The better informed and more sen
sible of our negroes condemn, in un
measured terms, the conclusions of
that “Advisory Conclave” which
held forth in Atlanta last summer.
This is indicative of the fact that the
democrats of Georgia are just and
honorable in their dealings with
friend and foe. It is evidence to the
world that we are not what our
“esteemed Northern Contempora
ries” would have their readers think
we are.
‘‘What is the matter, lore?” asked
a St. Louis husbaud, as his wife burst
into tears at his sick bed. “I am so
afraid,” was the loving response,
“that you will die, John, and as your
life is only insured for $ 10,000, by the
time I pay the funeral expenses and
get you a nice tombstone, I wi.l have
to mortgage the house and furniture
m order to obtain money enough to
go to Florida for the winter.'’ John
was pronounced out of danger the fol
lowing day.
A Mobile man accidentally shot the
tip end of his wife’s tongue off, there

remarks: "Some men are born happy,
some secure happiness, while others

a kettle the man had thrust upon him
for his reckless shooting.
THE RESULT OF INVESTIGA
TION.
We promised our readers last week
togivethtm a statement showing
: what became of the money collected
in Bartow county for taxes. It is
j very natural that tbe people should
want to know where the money paid
into the public treasury is applied,
and we are glad to be able to giv*>
them information on this subject.
Owing to engagements in the superi
or court that required most of our
time, we have not been able to make
this statement as complete as we de*
sired, but the figures given will show
that the public money has not been
wasted. In this investigation we
have had a two fold purpose in view.
The first was to give to the public
information that they have a right
to know, and the other to see if 'ur
county officers had been faithful In
the discharge of their duty as public
servants.
We are heartily in favor of hold
ing public officers to a strict account
ability, and we never expect to be
found guilty of sugar coating any
body’s faults in a position of public
trust, or of winking at corruption
and fraud in high places. The tax
payer has rights that ought to be,
and as far we are able, shall be re
spected and protected. On the other
hand we believe the laborer is worthy
of his hre, and the public officer who
faithfully performs his duty should
receive the approval and commenda
tion of all fair minded men. It is an
easy matter to make charges against
those in office, and we regret that
this is too often done, without a fair
and honest investigation of the facts.
We suggest that if any tax payer in
Brtow county is dissatisfied with
the way his money’has been applied,
he go to the record* of the different
officers, as we have done, and make
investigation for himself. If a per
sonal inspection is denied, ora satis
factory showing cannot be made,
there will be time enough to appeal
to the people through the public
press. We believe that our county
officers are faithful, conscientious,
honest men. In our investigation
we found their books well kept, and
so arranged that any body who can
read writing could understand them.
Every opportunity was afforded us
to get the information we desired,
and the figures we give below are
our own. We made them from the
books of the county officers. Our
figures in every respect may not be
exact as, we made them hurriedly,
but they approximate very nearly
the amount of receipts and disburse
ments. It will be remembered that
the taxable property of Bartow couu
ty returned for 1883 was $3598,193,
aud that the tax for state purposes
wass2 50 onthe thousand, and for
county purposes was $7 00 on the
thousand. This would give in round
numbers a revenue as follows:
State lax, $8 995 48
County tax, $25,187 35
Of this amount between two and
three thousand dollars remains un
collected, owing to the great number
of tax defaulters, a part, perhaps half,
of this will yet be collected and
the balance will go to the insolvent
list.
By eur hurried investigation we
find the disbursements to be as fol
lows:
COURT EX£fiSHES
J ury Fees,, 5622 00
Ba jMfFees, 726 00
** Fees, 778 00
Clerks fees (attending terms
of court, issuing summons
for Juries, Ac.) 290 60
Sheriffs fees (attending terms
of the court, summoning
Juries, Ac.) 389 00
Jail expenses (dieting and
keeping prisoners Ac.)
(about) 2150 00
Paid Free Press for adver- •
Using 69 00
Paid Coroner. A. M,
Willingham 154 00
Paid out for Pauper farm,
court house repairs, fuel,
bridge repairs, Ac. Ac. 4275 00
Cost of Bridge at Howard’s
Shoals, 6,275 00
Paid John H. Wikle as
clerk county commissioner’s
court and for extra service Ac.
335 00
Total 21054 60
To this is to be added the expense
of paying non-resident witnesses in
criminal cases, hotel bills of juries
when they are kept over-n ight in
the trial of cases and many other in
cidental expenses. We think this
showing should satisfy “Citizen ”
or any other reasonable man, that
neither nine.y-hundredths, nor ten
hundredths,nor one-hurdredth of the
county money has been wasted. But
that every cent of it lias been faith
fully and judiciously applied.

FAIR OL1) VIRGINIA.
We love Virginia. She is a sister
to grand old Georgia. Her history
looms up behind us proudly and ma
jestically. The shade? of her noble
and mighty sons stil hover over and
about her. Snatch from her keeping
her wealth and her power; bind her,
hand and foot; hear her down to the
very dust, prostrate and bleeding;
inject into her indignant veins an
envenomed and baser blood; let her
unscrupulous, ruthless and vindictive
foes cast upon her fair name all tht*
obloquy and odium that a vicious
and cunning mind can invent; still
wonld we love aud venerate Virginia
Blistered be that tongue that would
dare impute to her what io base and
dishonorable! Palsied be that hand
that would besmirch her fairescutch
eon! Crazed be that mind that would
harbor a thought of evil against her!
John Sherman and Billy Mahone!
Bah!
Virginia! Brave in war and wise
in peace! Lovely in prosperity, thrice
lovely in adversity! What state has
added so bright a page to the history
of our common country—what state
has done so signal acts of philanthro
py and patriotism—what state ha.-
furnished so noble a picture of well
regulated liberty—what state ha.-
presented so complete an illustration
of the successes of that great republi
can experiment of which our soil ha
been providentially selected as the
stage?
ONE OF BARTOW’S FORE
MOST NEEDS.
We do not belong to the Grad
grine family, nor do we claim fellow
ship with Josiah Bounderby, ol
Coketown,for these soulless practical
matter of fact sort are clean out o<
sympathy with every thing butfact.-
and figures. But facts and figure!-
often tell an important story, and
frequently there is poetry and phi
losophy in the dry record of statisti
cal tables not appreciated by the su
perficial observer. This leads us to
announce a very important fact ac
cording to the above named statis
tical tables: viz. seven-eights of the
criminals in our jails and peni
tentiaries or on tbe scaffold’ belong
to the illiterate class. This is the
rule, and the exception is very apar
ent. Now, what do these facts dem
onstrate? That ignorance is the Cause
of seven-eights of the crime com
mitted, and therefore seven-eights ol
all ttie evil and unhappiness in the
world. Then the counter proposi
tion is self evidoot; that knowledge
enlightenment and education is the
antidote or cure forcrirneand unhapi
neas. it is not our purpose at preseni
to discuss tho question of education
in the abstract, nor to emphasize any
one system to the exclusion of an
other, ndr §# prescribe a certain
style of education, but simply to die
cuss the ail-important necessity of a
system that will reach the masses
affording opportunities to all alike
for obtaining a respectable education.
It is giaiifiying to note thai
throughout the laud this question is
comiug to the front,and ere long we
hope it will become the question oi
the times. Whenever this comes to
pass we may kepe for gracious re
'“Every question of public
weal is pushed into the front rank
by persistent effort, and behiud this
great educational problem are the
first minds of the country, And we
may look for a revolution, and then
there will be a general and mighty
advance. Now let us in Georgia,
and north Georgia especially, be
swift te learn our duty and not slow
to perform it. This question of ed
ucation being guarenteed -to the
masses, is not a speculation based on
hypothetical conjectures, but a prac
tical problem, and may become as
bald a fact as any one in the economy
of this Gradgriue.
Let us be practical then and see.
Suppose that some half-dozen of our
best citizens in every town and vil
lage should concert together in this
matter, erect suitable buildings, em
ploy teachers with a guaranteed sal
ary, take the interest sufficient to se
cure the school, why could not every
town and village have a first class
high school? Look right here in
our county—the Stilesboro commu
nity. There they have an excellent
academy and the school is regarded
one of the best in the county. A few
men there are interested in the work,
and become responsible for theschool
The consequence is a continuously
No. 1 school. And where is there
a better community, with better so
ciety than the Stilesboro community.
Again, let there be unanimity. Let
all the people unite in the good work
The bane of the enterprise is divis
ion anddisagreementssoeasily main
tained and these ('ll kill a most laudable
endeavor. Why it is there cannot be
unanimity in this matter, is certain
ly lamentable and inexiplicable.
Again let there be no denomina
tional or political feature connected
with thes chool.but a school of mental
training. The object of the school
training is to fit girls and Doys to be
come true men and women, ready to
meet the emergencies of practical
life. Then there should be secured
first class teachers, and a correspond
ing appreciation of them, and their
grand work should be encouraged-
There is no calling moie honorable,
more exhalted, than the vocation of
the teacher. The world is slow to
acknowledge their deservedness. We
rejoice tbaj tb© time i* past when an
argument is necessary to secure the
sanction of our citizens in regard toed~
ucatiou, and perhaps there is no
other question that would be voted
on more unanimously than the bare
question—“School or No School.”
But the how to have the school is the
thinjf, aud this how, dividing the
opinion of a few would be selfish lead
ers, kills the whole thing.
Now in conclusion, we appeal to
every lover ot honesty, morality and
virtue in Cartersville to consuls
this question of education in the
tight of a great necessity, For truly
is it shown by facts and figures
that where there is a lack of educa
tion, there is a lack of all else that is
ennobling and true. Let us have a
first class school house erected ir. our
town. We have in our midst the
requisite teachers. Let us build up
a school oftha first excellence in our
own little city, and soon will there
be seen the dawning of the morning
of the glad day of individual, social
and political happiness and success.
RALLY ROUND THE FLAG.
A few days since and the republi
can members of Congress assembled
in caucus for the purpose of outlining
the presidential campaign. There
was great harmony and a thorough
unanimity of sentiment. It was not
deemed necessary to refer even in
cidentally to what the press of the
country insists must be the com
manding issue, viz, tariff, Any dif
ferences upon this subject were re
legated to the rear, and our republi
can brethren pretermitted any ex
pression of opinion upon the com mer
dal and financial interests of the
country. The exhibition of perfect
drill and discipline upon the part of
the foe we are to meet, may have es
caped attention. It certainly has not
developed noticeable criticism. The
action of the caucus sounded the
opening note of conflict. The repub
lican line of battle, under a cool and
veteran leader, has commenced the
advance. In our issue of yesterday
our readers may have read the battle
orders of John Sherman, senator from
Ohio, and a candidate for the presi
dency. Under many whereases, he
recites in detail the clashes that have
recently occurred in the states of
Virginia and Mississippi. As com
pared to others of a like character
that have occurred in the campaigns
in which the white men of the south
have endeavored to wrest the politi
cal power of their states from a vile
combination of carpet baggers, scala
wags and negroes, the conglomera
tion of vice, violence and ignorance,
the emeutes in Mississippi aud Vir
ginia are insignificant, though de
plorable Both were the natural out
come of an attempt, for partisan pur
poses, to overthrow the chosen gov
ernments of two sovereign state?.
Unhappy Virginia is misrepresented
in the senate, of which John Sherman
is 8 member, by two weak and un
scrupulous creatures in entire sym
pathy with this movement. Indeed,
they are to be beneficiaries in any
success that may follow it. Missis
sippi has two meu in the senate, and
if a debate is sprung, when under the
rule Sherman’s resolutions can be
considered, they will be heard from.
It may be said that what is known
as the Danville riot has already been
investigated by a committee of citi
zens and a grand jury, and the re
sponsibility for the violence and •
bloodshed has been properly located.
The law in Mississippi has moved in
regular course aud the man charged
with homicide will be summoned for
trial to answer in due season*
The Sherman resolutions may be
passed. We hope they will be. The
democratic party cannot afford to
dodge or shirk any issue now tend
ered to it by its opponents. We”
have referred to the matter to show
the animus and designs of tne repub
iican party. It has held power for
these seventeen years si nee the war,
by consolidating the northern vote
by appeals to passion and prejudice,
its statesmanship, when dealing
with the south, has not been able
to rise above the negro and
the bloody shirt. To-day it
makes the humiliating confession
through John Sherman and resolu
tions, and through the action of its
congressional caucus that it chooses
to fight not upon great commercial
and financial issues that appeal to
the judgment, the intellect and the
patriotism of men, but to the baser
passions of their nature. The bloody
banner is run up to the foretopmast
and the faithful are called upon to
rally us of yure under its folds.
There are broad conservative and
right thinking men of the north in the
republican organization. They have
been passive rather than active for
many years in national campaigns.
They have submitted to party rule
and dictation rather than to make
such resistance as might result in
damage to their wealth aud business.
They kuow that the south will uevar
permit the negro and bis allies to
their wealth and business. They
kuow that the south will never per
mit the negro and his allies to dom
inate politically in this section. By
this time it must be or ought te bc
plain to them, that the country can*
not advance in civilization and proe
perity while one section continually
attacks and the other is ever on
guard. If this element does not rise
and rally to the support of a broader
and more patriotic policy than is
embraced in the resolutions of tho
republican caucus and tho?e now en
gineered by John Sherman, 'he dawn
of the coming century may tiud th**
north and south further apart,
estranged in interests and nursing
the bitterness that comes of unceasing
warfare.— Telegraph and Messenger.
