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.

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. 58 JOHN KEELY, Corner Whitehall and Hunter Streets.
