CarteririlM Tbarsdar Horning. Dee. 13, 1883.
“J (Alloys AMD BOVRBOSIUM."
The following paragraph we clip from
last week’s Bain bridge Democrat:
The so-called independent democratic news
paper, edited by Charley Willingham and pub
lished at Cartersville, in its issue of Nov. 29, has
the most rampant bloody-shirt article we ever
remember to have read in a Georgia journal. It
double discounts anything, that Swa>ze, Clark,
and the balance of the carpet bag crew ever
wrote in the darkest days of reconstruction.
The article is headed '‘Mahone and Bourbon ism,
and entitles its author to be prince of the order of
bloody shirt.
That paragraph may have pleased the
editor of the Democrat very much. He
may have flung it off his pencil point
with a llourish. In reply we have only
to say that The Frkk Pkess is a democra
tic paper in all that the term democratic
means. We confess at once that it is not
democratic in the sense of mere partisan
ism wit it no principles except greed and
scramble for office. The Fkke Pkess is
democratic iu principle. Its editor, in
the infamous days of reconstrution, had
the courage of his convictions, and did
not toady to the military espionage that
was set over the people of his native
state, lu .the face of threatening milita
ry orders of suppression of his paper and
imprisonment of himself, he did not fal
ter in the defense of the people of Geor
gia and of the south when there were so
many journalists who put their hands
upon their mouths and kept silent iu the
face of bayonet rule and radical oppres
sion. That was a time wlieii the true
southern journalist should have stood his
ground, even at the risk of personal im
piisoument and at the loss of all lie had.
We are proud to claim that we stood true
to Georgia, the south and our people and
never faltered in our devotion to either.
There we stand to-day; and, as a Geor
gian and a southern man, we shall ever
stand as long as we live. Aud this senti
ment imikes us independent of all par
tisaniam* whether democratic or republi
can. Kaudall, who so firmly stood by
the south in federal legislation for so ma
ny years since the war, was defeated for
speaker of the house of Congress last
week by the votes of Georgia members
who are blatant democrats at home, hut
men of policy in political life or political
action. Carlisle was no friend of the
south during the war, although a south
ern born mac. Randall was a northern
man and was a supporter of the federal
cause during that conflict. At its close
he became a noble champion of the south
ern people; hence, we say, that true
southern democracy should have sustain
ed Randall for the speakership. There
fore, the southern democratic vote in the
house in this matter was recreant and
base. Randall could have taken the
oath of office without taint; Carlisle had
to forswear his home and his state to do
so, and thereby put the brand of infamy
upon his people by subscribing to that
oath.
But, :is to “Mahone and Bourbon Um.”
Mahoae was driven into his present posi
tion by virulent denunciation because he
was independent in thought and action.
No two men have ever been more de
no 1 need for their independentism than
Gen. Mahone in Virginia and Dr. Fel
ton in Georgia. Any man in public life
may be abused in Georgia who has the
manhood and independence to think and
act for himself and upon his own con
viction. Mahone, who was a true Con
federate soldier, a gallant officer, is abus
ed and traduced because he has a mind
of his own. The Free Press has never
had any sympathy with the readjuster
movement in Virginia. We have thought
that if Virginia’s public debt was just it
ought to be paid, dollar for dollar; if not
just, then, all false claims should be re
pudiated as we did in Georgia. Mahone,
we suppose, was conscientious in his po
sition on the readjustment of the public
debt of Virginia. If so, no true southern
man should abuse a true southern soldier
for his honest convictions.
‘•Bourbonism” to-day rules the state
of Georgia with an iron rod. It has
made Senator Brown, a most intense rad
ical in 1868, the leader and “boss” of the
( democracy; a man who told
the negroes in public speeches during
the days of reconstruction infamy and
bayonet oppression that the homes of the
w iit< s were security for their r ghts and
protection ; thereby telling them in sub
stance that they might put the incendia
ry’s torch to our homes if they felt them
selves aggrieved by the white people of
Georgia in any particular, whether soci
ally or politically. Mahone never did
that; but Georgia “bourbonism” curses
Mahone and takes Senator Brown to its
bosom as its chief “.boss.”
As to being the “prince of the order of
the bloody shirt,” we do not care to re
ply, because it is a silly and meaningless
expression in connection with what we
said ; but, we do say that we have as
much respect for Gen. Mahone, politi
cally, as we do for Senator Brown. >Ve
don’t sympathize with either to any con
siderable extent, nor “Bourbonism”
either.
OUR MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
The result of the city election, we
think, was not caused by the unpopulari
ty of any of the candidates. In any
event, we should have had a mayor and
eouncilmen, all good true men. The
administration of the old council had
been so satisfactory that a majority of the
voters thought it well enough to keep
them in another year, Under all the
circumstances, we think the defeated
candidates, though late upon the track,
have nothing to be ashamed of.

THE XEW GEORGIA INSTITUTE.
We are happy to announce to the etti- ‘
zens of our town and throughout North
Georgia, that Profs. Curry and Smith,,
with the assistance of a corps of lady
teachers, will open a first class graded
high school, or inst tute, f. r boys and
girls in Cartersvillc, the 7th prox , Ist.
Monday in January. We bespeak for
this school a liberal patronage from home
and abroad. Knowing the gentlemen
who are to hare charge of The institute,
we can safdy prophesy a grand success.
Prof. J. H. Curry is known over several
states as a liberal and critical scholar,
having graduated in a ffrst class univer
sity, besides the Lebanon law school;
and was a teacher of ancient languages
and philosophy in one of the colleges in
the West. Prof. Theo. Smith is a grad
uate of the celebrated Bingham school iu
North Carolina; he has taught success
fully after his graduation. These gentle
men are competent to give us a school,
we will all be proud of, and with their
ability and ambition we are sure they
will build up an institution of learning
that will be an ornament to our town and
county. The course of study will include
ill branches of a college curriculum, from
the primary grades up. Cartersville and
North Georgia will save hundrerd and
thousands of dollars every year by this
school; for it is right at our doors. We will
have all the advantages of a college for
our sons and daughters. For further In
formation apply to Prof. Smith, or Curry

A SOBEttLESSOXFOBTHK SOUTH.
Philadelphia Time #.]
The South has the numerical power in
the popular branch of Congress to take
its organization, fashion its committees,
declare its policy and purpose, and mould
the judgment of the body on all vital
public questions. With this power comes
grave responsibility for the record the
Democratic party shall make, and by
that record, however dictated, the party
will be justly judged in the great trial
for political power in the coming Presi
dential stnggle. The south has the
power to defeat Mr. Randall for speaker.
It can nominate and elect Mr. Carlisle.
It can organize the committee of ways
and means to plunge the country into
causeless tariff’agitation. It can formu
late and force upon the House and the
country the direct issue of “a tariff lor
revenue only,” and it can thus so com
mit the democratic party to that doc
trine that it may escape accepting it in
a presidential canvass only by self-stul
ffcation that must breed public distrust
and contempt North and south.
These results so earnestly urged by
such free trade doetrinairs as Blackburn
Hurd, Morrison, Watterson and others
and publicly adopted as the mission of
Mr. Carlisle, the revenue reform candi
date for speaker, are all within the power
of the dominant southern wing of the
majority of the house. But when they
shall have achieved their victory, what
will the harvest be ? This is a lesson that
the people of the south now study in
truth and soberness. When they shall
have crossed the Rubicon by the elec
tion of Mr. Carlisle openly and aggress
ively forced the issue of violently ending
the policy of protecting our indus
tries that was created by Washington
and that has fostered productive labor for
a century, called a sudden halt iu diver
sified capital, chilled every channel of
skilled employment and flung despair
broadcast throughout the now depressed
industry and trade of the land—when
these results shall come to be reckoned
face to face, what the south profits by its
victory ? Remember that there can be no
parley when Mr. Carlisle enters the
speaker’s chair. He is bound by every
consideration of sympathy, connection*of
the south was the first to barter with
fraud and surrender the the national re
generation for the petty governments of
several southern states. Four years ago
they gave the democrats the control of
the popular branch of congress, and the
honor, to execute the proclaimed
purpose of his election, and aggressive
revenue reform or practically free trade
organization and effort must follow.
W hat then ?
1. It will immeasurably restore the section
al issue between north and south. It will
not be the act of the north. It will be
wanton act of the south. It will make
comparatively voiceless the hundreds of
thousands of patriotic northern men who
havp for many years faced obloquy to
battle for sectional tranquility. That
class of northern voters, many of them
of positive republican antecedents have
four times given the popular, branch of
congress to the democrats. It was not
by the democratic votes, for there are
not enough of them to turn the scale for
the democracy. It was done by intel
ligent, considerate and just northern
men, who desired the south to have
peace that the nation might have repose
and who revolted against the partisan
despotism and profligacy of the dominant
political power of the country. They
gave the democrats a president in 1876 by
a quarter of a million majority, and the
south scattered the victory to the winds
by revolutionary legislative methods and
aims, and the republicans were restored
to power in 1880 in every department of
the government. Southern secthJnalism
unmasked its hideous features just
enough to admonish the country that
the time has not yet come when democrat
ic power could be welcomed. A
reckless profligate republican congress
again disgusted the nation and another
democratic congress comes on renewed
probation. It comes appearantly forget
ful of its past suicides under southern
leadership in war and peace, and the
clash of sectionalism is plied in Washing
ton to emphasize southern supremacy. It
comes in strange forgetfulness of the fact
that sectional strife is the hunger cry of
every northern demagogue and that on
such an issue the north will crush the
south in the conflict and plant the iron
heel of sectional despotism upon the
section that has causelessly provoked it.
It is madness. It is worse. It is self
destruction in power, in peace and in
prosperity.
2. It will fearfully disturb the present
amative business repose of the country.
The business, of the natiqn is not pros
perous. It H not iff danger of panic or
of a tidal wave of bankruptcy. It is
oppressed, largly by natural and reme
diable causes, but none the less struggling
to avert disaster, rather than to gather
fortune. It wants rest, and above all it
must have certainty in legislation affec
ting ft. If “a tariff for revenue only”
>hall be declared hr the election of Mr.
Carlisle and the effort of the house to
tear up by the roots tlie whole American
system that is based on revenue discrim
inations in t’avor of home industries, dis
trust will be deepened, business hopes
will siuk or perish and the paralysis oi
death will strike the great productive in
terests of the republic. Investments and
industrial pursuits will be hindered and
the present depression will be deepened
and extended until it chills the very life
blood of our productive wealth. And
when all shall have been done that ill
advised sectional leadership can do, only
uncertainty will remain. The present
tariff cannot he repealed or its policy
changed. The house may repeal or modi
fy, as its revengful crusade against
industry shall dictate, but every such
bill would be welcomed by the senate
aud the president and the republican
leaders as the ujost potential democratic
defeat. The republicans who hope to
profit by tiie revival of sectional and
industrial ftqtj strife, would again ride
into power on the wave of disturbed in
dustry and trade, and they would regard
as a political Godsend the uncertainty
that must be thrown upon the struggling
business interests by plunging the tariff
into a president*! contest as the para
mount issue,
With such an Issue, Intensified by the
foolish agitation that is now threatened
by the democrats of the house, and in
dustrial stagnation fmputed to democrat
ic sectional folly, t|*e derpoppats will not
command one eleotorial vote in 1884 in
any state north of Mason and Dixon’s
line, and not excepting Maryland. Nor
would the results of Democratic suicide
with democratic defeat. The worst ele
ment of republicanism wouid be recalled
to power. There would be no w isely led
and peaceful democratic party to conserve
and caution republicanisn and compel it
to elevate its standard of men and meas
ures. Its old commanders would have
riot in southern sorrow; would be warra
ed’into life and supremacy by the mad
ness that they loved to play upon, and sec
tional and business repose would be post
poned for another season of wanton op
pression ot the southern people. With
the tariff issue at rest until experience
and settled political peace can revise it
from the standpoint of patriotic states
manship, th- democrats may elect the
next president, but whether they shall
achieve success or defeat both parties
will be compelled to appeal to the intelli
gent judgment of the nation and the suc
cess of either would not be a national
calamity.
3. It will hinder just revision of the
tariff fur years to come. The unwise open
ng of tiie tariff issue at this time, and
especially* from a sectional standpoint,
must result in the utter rejection of all
revision of the tariff’ during the next ad
ministration. An alarmed country, with
business paralyzed by insane agitation
that could reform nothing, w ill surely
recoil against any disturbance of the tar
iff policy. None pretend that the present
tariff’ is just and perfect in its details, but
the country demands certainty and per
manency in its law affecting business,
and no party of reckless free trade doc
trinaires should be permitted to have a
voice in tariff revision. The next Presi
dent and Congress on both hands w ould
be compelled to err in oppressive revenue
dnties and the democratic party would
be compelled to escape its own suicidal
folly by submission. Had it wisely for
bidden the issue on which it threatens to
force Mr. Carlisle into the speakership in
a sectional crusade and accepted the pre
sent tariff policy as the policy of the
country, subject to such revision in detail
as experience and the changing business
interests demand, a reasonably just tariff
could be easily attained during the next
presidential term, whether the republi
cans or democrats win in 1884. But the
opening of the issue at this time, coming
with the odious flavor of sectional con
tempt for the industry that is the great
fountain of national, state and individual
wealth, must provoke a recoil so omnipo
tent that even a just tariff revision will
be ended for another six years, and the
south itself, weary of poverty and strife,
will be foremost in rejecting the mad
authors of sectional and industrial dis
cord.
Is the democratic party prepared for
such a destiny ? Gentleman of the south,
the solution of these questions is in your
hands. If it were merely the question of
the self-destruction of a great party, it
would be of comparatively little moment,
for the republic can survive any and all
parties; but when party suicide involves
the wanton disturbance of the business
and sectional repose of the nation, with
the scars of civil war scarcely healed,
partisan madness reaches beyond its au
thors and clouds the transquility and
prosperity of fifty millions of free people.
These are the words of truth and sober
ness, and if unheeded tliere will be fear
ful atonement.

very much from non-retention of

no success, until I used Brown's

stomach does not bother me any.
My appetite is simply immense. My
kidney trouble is no more, and my

THE NEW SHORT ROUTE
T O
KANSAS
—AND THE—
WEST.
Attention is called to the new Kansas City
railroad line now completed and in operation
betw cen Memphis, Tenn., and Kansas City, Mo.
By this new route the south and west is brought
into close relation. Saving several hundred
miles and many hours travel between the two
sections. It is in fact now the only practical
route the south to all points in Kansas, Missouri,
Colorado and all western states. A through
train with Pullman Palace Sleeping car and el
egant day coaches leaves Memphis daily, run
ning through to Kansas City without change of
cars, where it-arrivesin time to make connec
tion m the Grand Union Depot w ith all trains
leaving Kansas City. For emigrants to the Pa
cific coast and the Northwest, or for home seek
ers in Kansas and Missouri, time and money is
saved by this short route as against the circui
tous routes via St. Louis, heretofore the only
outlet. Special low rates are made for this class
of business and all are carried through to Kan
sas City in first-class cars on first-class trains.
