To the Editor of the Atanta lit raid :
Nkah ('.ufmsvu i.K, (la. Nov. (!, 1882.
Allow me a few lines in your paper of
to-day to make a statement to votir read
ers, which statement was sent to the At
lanta Constitution on Saturday, with an
earnest request that it be published in its
Sunday issue, but no doubt for political
reasons has beeu withhold.
Although this will be too late to reach
all the le tders ot your paper before the
election, the fair inhaled people wlioob
tain it in time can well understand the
matter.
l)r. Baker’s last long-winded, mali
cious and untruthful assault appeared in
the Saturday morning’s Constitution, and
this buel statement sent by me should
ha\e been allowed to appear in their
Sunday s paper, as they had permitted
the assault in their columns.
in its stead we see in that paper the fe
made on tue by Senator
Hill last winter. It is a bad case of sorry
politics which seeks to injure a living
man by taking such an unfair advantage.
Alt. Hill is dead. The deceased senator
read my reply to this attack made by
himself upon me. For reasons best known
to himself and bis adversers, be prefer
red to let (I e matter rest. I make no
controversy w irh the dead. But the Con
stitution newspaper, last winter confess
ed itself so contused and muddled bv mv
reply to this identical letter ol Mr. Ilill,
that it could not decide which was the
independent and which the democrat.
Aet this old dispute is now rehashed—
by *fr e Constitution and “the irresponsible
tricksters and thimble-riggers” of this
congressional district, with the deliberate
purpose ot injuring me. Failing in am
munition to tight me with—they are
obliged to wash their soiled polities in
the dirty suds of last winter.
The people of George are not fools!
Such tactics are both unjust and unfair,
and will receive the rebuke of all honest
men.
As to Dr. Thomas 11. Baker, himself,
I will say: Had I known his private anil
professional character, as I know it noiv,
trom the statesments of men whose truth
fulness is beyond doubt, 1 should never
have alluded to such a creature in any
public journal.
Mr. Clarke Baker, of the firm of Baker
and Hall ot this city, Cartersville, and
brother of this creature, I am reliably' in
formed— went into a justice’s court in
Cartersville—a few vears ago, and when
under oath, testified that his brother
L’homas 11. Baker kept unreliable books,
and that he (Clarke Baker) would not
believe him on his oath. To all the as
sertions made in Dr. Baker’s long letter,
I refer you to his brother, and hundreds
of others in Bartow countv, who enter
tain the same opinion touching his vera
city and reliability of character. The
apparent justice and integrity' of his
brother (Clarke) constrained him to warn
the public of his unreliable character.
Remember it is the same man Thomas H.
AaKei' "ho tohj ype -locy. to the Ruu.u
(Janvier, about bis vote in 1880, and told
other parties an opposite storv on the
same subject, the two stories' being in
direct, conflict with each other. Come to
Cartersville, Messrs. Editors, if you need
any further explanation.
Dr. Baker will not dare give the lie to
the gentlemen who testified against him,
and they assure me they will give as
many' certificates as may be needed to
show up his failure to tell the truth on
the subject.
But I imagine the quantity and quality
of testimony showing the unreliable char
acter of Dr. Baker would fail to make
any impression upon him, for I am relia
bly informed that his brother, Mr.
Clarke Baker, not only testified to his
falsity ot character, but had to emphasize
that testimony by two pistol shots aimed
with deadly s intent and purpose at his
person.
I find, Messrs. Editors, also, that eer- ]
tificafes will be furnished on demand to
show that Dr. Baker not only drew
money from me time and again to pay
Jeff Long, colored, but he received like
wise private contributions from several i
gentlemen in Cartersville to pay up the j
same bill. This is a fact beyond contro
versy. Jeff, it seems, was not the only
man who received pay for this work, and I
in my opinion certain whisky bills set !
forth so defiantly by Dr. Baker can be ac
counted for in the same way.
The idea grows in my mind that sev- i
eral persons, myself included, have been
victimized to aid indirectly Dr. Baker’s
peeuniaiy and political advancement.
How many “poor whites and colored”
have been duped by Dr. Baker, and bow
many were promised pay which they
never received, is as vague to me as the
whisky bills and the Jeff Long contribu
tions; which it seems can all be traced to
Dr. Baker and not much further.
I could no more become responsible !
for Dr. Baker’s indebtedness in any oth
er matter than I can become responsible
tor his veracity, which his brother swore
to be of a very doubtful quantity.
When Dr. Baker tells me in a letter
over bis own signature that be and Mid
dlebrooks hired Jeff Long, “without
consultation” with me, and “without my
knowledge, consent or approval,” and
| yet tells the Atlanta Constitution that I
| was consulted, and the agreement was
| nude with my knowledge, consent
and approval, l simply refer you to his
| brother Clark’s testimony for a solution
of this apparant difficulty.
Whenever you see or hear anything
from Dr. Baker that is strange or hard
to account for, I shall confidently refer
you to his brother Clarke, who knows
him best, as be has kown him longest.
Mr. Clarke Baker and myself are fully
agreed as to bis brother’s status—he up
on his brother’s want of veracity and
general unreliability, and I upon his
double dealing and trickery. I could be
qualified, as was his brother Clarke, up
on those matters that I am familliar with
—1 know nothing about his books.
| So it is with his whisky bills and all
1 his statements contained in his long at
| tack upon me.
Aow I hope the Georgia legislature
I will be able to take him upon his real
! valuation—for in my honest opinion be
i is like Dugald Dalgetta and will sell his
j sword to the side that pays him best, or
; to both sides, if possible; and bis word
{ will go with his sword.
Respectfully,
W. H. Fulton .

versation held with Dr. Thus. H. Baker,

OLD GEORGIA CLAIMS.
For Supplies Furnished the Army of In
dependence in 1T77.
The special Washington correspondent
of the Atlanta Constitution, gives the
following statement of the matter in
Sunday’s issue of that paper:
Of course every body looks to the great
national questions, like the tariff revi
sion, but there are other things of aiinott
as great interest, particularly to localities
and sections. 1 have been at some little
trouble to discover what legislation
w hicb, as local to Georgia, will be of in-
P icst to the thousands of readers of the
Constitution. It cornea close to home,
and therefore arouses a kind of family
interest. Then, too. It would be useless
to labor through the hundreds of mea
sures docketed, so that I have only taken
those which having already passed the
initiatory stage of legislation, stands a
fair square show for consideration du-ing
the coming session and, as a wished-for
result, a successful consideration.
The first measure which is found waa
originally introduced by Governor Ste
phens, and is something on the histori
cal order. It is to refund to the state of
Georgia thirty -five thousand dollars, as a
recompense for money paid by the state
for supplies for troops in 1777-under the
command of General James Jackson, en
gaged in local defense for the common
cause of indcpeudei cc, and which sum
was not included in the account of the
state of Georgia in the settlement with
the general government under the as
sumption act of 1790.
By this assumption act the United
Suites assumed the payment of the revo
lutionary’ war debts of the states incurred
in the common defense of the country.
In 1777 Georgia incurred a debt for sup
plies lor the troops then stationed at
Savannah. There was a controversy
about the claim, and it became the sub
ject of litigation. Later, in 1793, Geor
gia pledged the faith of the state that the
claim should be paid, so far as it should
be found just, and one year afterward it
was audited and the stale issued certifi
cates of indebtedness therefor.
One Peter Trezvant married the only
daughter of Robert Farquhar, the origin
al claimant, and became the owner of the
claim, but it was permitted to “rest in
peace” for many years. In 1838 Trez
vant, who was an Englishman, applied
to the state for the payment of certifi
cates, and the legislature authorized the
appointments of a commission to investi
gate the demand. Chief Justice Lump
kin was the chairman, and the report
held that the state was bound to redeem
the certificates. Nothing was done,
however, until 181 } , w hen the state is
sued bonds to settle the account. It is
this money amounting to $35,555.42,
which the state of Geoigia desires to be
repaid, and a favorable recommendation
has been secured; the bill, mean while,
standing in a good position on the calen
dar for action.
Georgia has an additional claim for
$27,175.50, which is for money advanced
by the state to pay troops ordered into
service for defence of her frontiers against
the Indians from 1795 to 1818. The
claims committee do not recommend the
allowance of this claim in full, but ask
for $22.507 42. to pay for expenditures
maueby the state since 1812. The bill
stands well on the calendar. The last
bill of local interest is that authorizing
the sale of Oglethorpe barracks. Savan
nah. It simply directs the secretary of
war to dispose of the property.
THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.
'i'he election in this district has resulted
in such a way as to variate our feelings.
As manager of the Argus, we feel a hap
py consolation in counting a net gain for
our candidate in the three counties of its
best circulation, of 345, while all else has
run in an opposite direction.
Personally, we are gratified that Whit
field against all the powers of the devil,
t he machinations of tricksters, and a clos
ing speech, scandalous and malicious,
directed against the editor of the Argus,
by Mr. Clements, resulted in a net loss to
him of 33 votes in the county, and ofover
100 in the Dalton box.
Asa citizen of Georgia, we would lie
recreant to her grand interests if we did
not deeply regret the political retiraev of
such a man a> Dr. Felton by one so much
bis inferior in every respect —by one so
little capable of doing great good—by
one who was only the presumption of a
forlorn chance, and whose future can
only be illustrated by the twists and
snarls of the aged scrub oak cf the forest.
And as one recognizing the moral obli
gations that, every one owes to good so
ciety in the restraining of every evil in
fluence, we cannot but regret that party
fealty should reach that craze, where good
men find it a pleasant duty to wink at
the devil and endorse his iniquities by
falling in with the street rabble and the
slums of the bar room for party success,
as was notoriously the fact in this city,
where vile whisky flowed in reckless pro
fusion in that interest.
By a majority of over 1700, however,
the voters of this district have so willed.
If they can rejoice, there is no cause
that we should not be content.
There is one glory of our institutions.
Tlie right of our common people are not
alone in the keeping of teinporarj’ power.
Things will go on as usual—even the
Argus will go on, without a ripple, with
out a struggle, and in the time to come
tho.-e who are bound together by the ad
he-ion of sentiment or interest will turn
upon each other and oppose just as vio
lently as others have in the past.
And the honest independent voter will
coniine to be a factor in Georgia polities,
just as in the past. Dalton Argus.
POOR MULLETT.
I sometimes see a slender, womanly
faced, perplexed man in a poor gray suit
of clothes, walking around the post office
building as if he might have a letter in
there necessary to him, but not the mon
ey to get it out, and l sav to my compan
ion ; “Whom do you guess yonder son
of weariness to be?” “A clerk out of a
job,” my companion will say, “or a
crank inventor, or a credulous picked
duck from Wall street, Xo, my friend;
that is Mullett. If you would see his
monument look around you. He built
the post office. He raised more ponder
ous architectures than Yanbraugh. In
every large city of America he built the
greatest edifice. The mighty govern
ment citadels of Philadelphia, Cincinnati,
St. Louis, Boston Chicago, the San Fran
cisco mint, the state department at Wash
ington, and nearly a hundred lesser buil
dings, which are the boast of minor
towns. He was the engineer of the beau
tiful streets of Washington, where now a
riernl relates to me, his wife takes board
f *i’s to support her eh 1 irei , He who has
built $50,000,000 worth of architecture for
ie ct to homeless, and the wandering
child of need. Is this the ingratitude ol
