Democratic Victory in Ohio.
In the State election on the Bth, the Dem
ocrats carried the State by about twenty
five thousand majority. () ! Ili! O !
Campaign Opened.
The political campaign has fairly opened
for the election in December next, by the
selection on Saturday last by the voters of J
this County a candidate for Senator, and
Representative.
We are pleased to notice that the people j
notwithstanding the busy season, turned
out largely and seemed to take an interest
in the Primary Election commensurate |
with its importance. All the candidates '
in the field were good and true men. and
their respective claims were fairly consid
ered and passed upon by the people, and we
doubt not that the people of the County
will cheerfully acquiesce in the result. It
was a fair and honorable understanding be
tween all the candidates in the field—ex
cept the independent candidate—that those
who fell behind in the race at the Primary
Election would fall into ranks and help
elect those two who received the highest
number of votes.
While many are doubtless disappointed
by the non-election of their candidates,
still, we trust and believe they will yield
to the voice of the people, as expressed at
the ballot-box, and come forward and
wield their influence ty elect the success
ful candidates at the final election. By
voting in the Primary Election you showed
your determination to abide its decision.
The time-honored principle of the past
pleads for this, and the hopes of a bright
and prosperous political future demand it.
It is rumored—but we surely think the
rumor is without foundation—that Frank
lin will put a candidate in the field for Sen
ator. We believe the people of Franklin
arc disposed to do full and ample justice,
and as it is Hurt's time according to the
old and well established rotation system,
we feel confident that the people of the
entire District will almost unitedly sup
port Hart's candidate.
Communication.
Messrs. Editors: In honor to one of
the aspirants, Mr. J. T. W. Vernon, I
would like to make a few remarks through
your valuable columns, in justice to the
candidate above mentioned in regard to a
false rumor that has been circulated among
tin? colored citizens of Hart County, stating
that the above named gentleman had
preached that the colored people had " no
soul." How vile the thought to think that
a man of his intellect and sound principles
should he accused of such disrespectful
feelings toward the colored population.
Mr. Vernon has as much respect for the
colored citizens of Hart County as any
man that would so degrade himself as to
accuse as honorable and upright man of
such an unjust opinion of the colored race.
Does any rational man believe that he
ever used such language? I don't think
that there is a man that will acknowledge
to it; and, if there is none that will ac
knowledge to having accused him of such,
1 safely say and think the good citizens of
Hart agree with me, that the rumor is
without foundation. And with due re
spect to his opponent, or opponents, he
came into the field in an honorable manner.
as a candidate to represent Hart County in
the next Legislature, not in opposition to
their political opinion, not that he thought
he was more gifted with intellect than other
gentlemen of Hart County, but at the so
licitation of many friends he consented to
become a candidate and to run a fair race.
not speaking disrespectful of nny one.
And if elected, to serve the people to the
beat of his ability, and if defeated to accuse
no one of committing a depredation, and
say it was an honest election, fairly con
ducted and that his opponent, or oppi
units' friends, made no grate assertion
concerning him. 1 know tlint it is cu>-
tomnry and according to nnture for can
didates to like to be victorious; but give
justice to all. Don't accuse a man for
what he never advocated, never approved
nor did not do.
This article is not pointed to the oppo
nent of my friend J. T. W. Vernon, for 1
think he is a man with too much respect to
his opponent to use such language, but
someone did circulate it through the col-
I ored population, aid 1 think it was a low.
j life, sneaking, underminding falsehood. I
care not who originated it. I know Mr.
Vernon, and know him to ho a gentleman
in every instance. and so far as him saying
that he believed the colored race (or ne
groes) had "iw s mil,'' he never made use
of such language. My reason for not be
lieving such is that in "ante be/lum" i\ ays,
and during the war, he preached to the col
ored race, they joined the Church, he bap
tized them, and what more would you
have him do for them. This I speak of was
in days before the colored people organized
churches, when those that were members
joined the church with white people.
Since that time, they have their own
churches, their own preachers, and make
their own discipline.
Xovv. a word to the colored citizens of
Hart County, and I am done.
Do you believe that Mr. Vernon ever
made such remarks concerning you ! Don't
you know it is unreasonable to think that
a man of common sense would make such
an assertion that lived in an enlightened
country like this, and a minister of the gos
pel (and an able one too)? If you do not
like Mr. Vernon or think some other man
would be more beneficial to send to the
Legislature, why he does not ask you to
vote for him. What he wants is a fair
race. If the citizens of Hart County want
him to represent them in the next Legis
lature he wants to serve them. If they
do not want him. I know that lie would
not impose himself upon them. Colored
citizens, the man that told you he used the
language he is accused of will not let him
self be known. Why? Because lie knows
he lias done something he is ashamed of,
a man that will so degrade himself to ob
tain a few votes by circulating so base
a falsehood, 1 would consider a poor friend,
and one that 1 would be ashamed and
fearful of. XX.

JOHN K LELY’S
Fall Announcement for the Year 1877.
JOHN KEEI.Y has just received anil marked off his fall stock of DRY GOODS. Notions. Hosiery and
Gloves, Gents' Furnishing Goods. Hats, Bootsand Shoes. Cloaks and Shawls, Trunks, etc., which for
volume, variety, beauty, desirability and cheapness, will be found to surpass, by far. any stock ever placed
before the public in Atlanta at any time previous. Having been for nearly a month past in attendance upon
New York “forced sales," he has purchased an immense stock of goods, for the greater part of which he has
paid nothing like their value. Consequently he can sell “bargains.”
THIS ADVERTISEMENT
Is no extravagant exaggeration expended upon a mere handful of goods, purchased, perhaps, at high figure*
under the pressure of a doubtful credit.
ON THE CONTRARY,
This magnificent stock of goods was purchased FOR THE CASH, and in its purchase the subscriber did
not confine himself to the regular channels of trade, but struck out luridly upon the market, relying upon
his judgment (the result of thirty years' experience) and plucked splendid windfalls from under the ham
mer of the auctioneer, the sherill'. and from the hands of the assignee.
