HON. A. H. STEPHENS.
(Xvmincc Democratic Contention.)
A GOOD TICKET TO RUNAWAY FROM.
A paragraph recently appeared, in some
one of our public journals, to the effect
that Mr. Alexander 11. Stephens, of Geor
gia, ex-Vice-President of the Southern
Confederacy, had expressed himself in fa
vor of Hendricks and Wade Hampton as
the next Democratic candidates for Presi
dent and Vice-President of the United
States.
We apprehend if such a ticket were
placed in nomination, it would be regarded
by many Democrats as a suitable ticket to
run away from. The effect would he to
furnish Mr. Evarts a most favorable oppor
tunity to bring out the new plans, of which
he has already hinted, for the treatment of
the Southern States.
On the suggestion being made to Mr.
Stephens that his own name for Vice-Presi
dent would mako the ticket stronger, he,
with characteristic modesty, admitted that
might be so. but said there were two ob
jections to bis running, namely, he did not
want the oflice and his health was 100
poor for him to perform its duties. We
have no doubt the first of these objections
could be easily overcome, and, as to his
health, he will have ample time to recover
before his election, even if his case requires
a system of treatment running through all
the years of Methuselah. The objections
which lie mentioned were those in his own
mind. The objections in the minds of oth
er people oouhl not be so easily disposed
of.
A great donl is sai<l about the honesty
and conscientiousness of the Confederates
in fighting against the Government of the
United .States. It is just because we be
lieve they were sincere in that war that we
distrust them for either of the two chief
offices in the Government. Men who hon
estly and conscientiously once fought to
destroy the Union may just as honestly
and conscientiously fight again to destroy
the same Union. We cherish none but
fraternal feelings toward our Southern
brethren; but when incomes to making
Presidents and Vice-Presidents we prefer
making them out of stulf which was never
honestly in rebellion against the Govern
ment.
The Democratic party is not exactly in
possession of llio Kxecutive Department
yet. and it is still of sumo consequence to
consider whether it is bettor to nominate n
ticket to run, or to run away from.
The above tirade is from the New York
Fun, and as the facts on which it is founded
were first published in this journal, we
propose making a few comments.
The argument of the above article seems
to be illogical and absurd, but we suppose
the writer is driven to such extremities in
order to find some opportunity to abuse
the Southern people. If these Northern
fanatics would keep within the bounds of
reason and truth, tbo people of the South
and of the “Lost Cause,” are Indifferent
to any of their most bitter tirades ; but
for the first time have we seen it urged that
because people arc honest and true to de
fend what they believe to be right, they are
to be considered not trustworthy, Thaf
is the very strongest reason why they de
serve being trusted. The people of the
South were honest in alt that they did.
They were honest in asking the Federal
Government to protect their Constitutional
rights, they were honest in their opposi
tion to the centralization of this Govern
ment, they were honest in making the most
gallant struggle for liberty the world ever
witnessed. Their bitter enemies have been
compelled to admit this. Put when the
cause for which they fought proved a fail
ure, the great heart of the Confederacy
ceased to beat forever, the furled banner
trailed in the dust, and the stern arbitri
jnent of the sword decided the terrible
contest. The people of the South, with
the same honest purpose, accepted the re
sult as a final settlement of the issues in
volved. This being true, the writer of the
above, admitting the Southern people we're
honest in all that we have stated, wonder
fully contends that on that account they
should not bo trusted. Two remarks in
reply to this : Those who aro overly suspi
cious of other people are little to be trust
ed themselves, and from the conclusion the
writer of the above readies, lie evidently
know* but little of the workings of an hon
est man's heart, and it is time for him to
cease prating about the honesty or dishon
esty of the Southern people.
THE TURBULENT FOURTH.
In the Fourth Congressional District the
Newnati Convention lias met, aeteJ and
dispersed. The result shows that the Con
vention was not composed of the right
kind of material. They failed to prove
themselves equal to the emergencies and
the stern requirements of duty. After
over seven hundred ballots the Convention
dispaired of a nomination and broke up in
a jumble. As at the Columbus Convention,
a majority adhered to Hon. II R. Harris,
while a very large minority favored any
body to beat Harris. Wc do not know
fully as yet the result of matters. It is
altogether likely that the majority wing of
the delegates will place in the field Hon.
Henry R. Harris, and the minority Judge
llugli-IltiMia'.irtn. I’ndor kurii a state of
affairs, the race may be catered and won
by a “ little darker horse ” than any of
them Jiave ever bargained for. Things arc
terribly muddled, but we trust it will
work out well.

General Presentments of the Grand Jury.
GEO It GIA—JIA li T CO UNTV.
WE, the Grand Jury, selected, chosen
and sworn for September Term of said
County respectfully make the following
presentments :
Through appropriate committees, tve
have examined the books and papers of the
County officers, and find them accurately
and neatly kept. The several other re
ports of officers, viz : those of Ordinary,
Clerk of Superior Court, Sheriff’ and
School Commissioner required by law to
he made have all been banded in and prop
erly attested by the records and vouchers
filed in their several offices.
We were pleased to sec in a thorough
examination of the Tax Receiver’s hook
that property has been returned at much
nearer its real value than it has in past
years.
The Clerk's, Sheriff's and Treasurer's
books are all in good order, well kept and
easily understood, and they deserve praise
for the same, and wo think Hart County
may bo justly proud of them.
Upon examination of the finances of the
County we find the liabilities of the County
for County purposes supposed to bo SIOO.
Liabilities for Jury fund, none.
Assets “ “ $186.06.
Liabilities for indigent poor fund sup
posed to be $ 100.
Assets, none.
We have examined the Dockets of Jus
tices and Notaries, and find them neatly
and correctly kept except two or three,
which have not (lie cost itemized and have
not signed their names officially in several
instances. One book was presented from
1114th district, said to be from William
Gary, Notary Public. There was no name
to show to whom it belonged. We think
some man could be found in that district
who would be competent to fill the ardu
ous duties of Notary Public.
There being a vacancy in 111 Jth district
of Notary Public, we recommend F. 15.
Cunningham for that oflicc.
We find the Poorhousc well managed,
and our worthy Ordinay and Mr. Thomas
Sanders, the Manager, deserve the thanks
of the County for their humane and econ
omical management of the same, and re
commend the Ordinary to employ Mr.
Sanders for another year at ns reasonable
price ns he can be procured.
Wo recommend the Ordinary to pay two
dollars a month to Manly Vickery’s family
until next March Court, unless his wife
should get well before that time.
Wc recommend, in this connection, that
the Ordinary pay Samuel C. Fisher, Esq.,
■as Agent, the sum of eighteen dollars for
the relief of J. D. MeLane's family.
We, having found a vacancy in the Board
of Education by the expiration of the
term of M. M. Richardson, havo elected
Mr. Patrick 11. Dowers to fill the vacancy.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Wo find the Court House in good
order. The Jail should have tin gutters
put up to protect the foundation, as the
eaves extend so little over the wall that
wall and foundation are likely to be injured
by getting wet and by freezes during the
winter; also, that the top of foundation
should be well plastered with cement and
lime.
The public roads in some districts have
been well worked. A portion of road in
the 1112th district, near 11. P. Skelton's
house, has been straightened, and is about
half a mile in lengthy is a great improve
ment, and we reconinunii the Commissron-

ers have it worked. The road leading from
Willis Stales' to Smith's I.aw Ground in
1114th district needs attention. Tho old
style of ditches and dead horses across
public roads is a relic of old time Georgia
road-working. The road from Hartwell to
Dooly's Ferry is worked out in the same
antedelavian style. We recommend the
authorities of Hartwell to have their
streets worked out previous to March
Court next, that Jurymen from the Country
may not have their lives or limbs endan
gered from falling in going to and from the
Courthouse at night; also, that the brush
arbor near the Courthouse be removed, as
it is neither useful nor ornamental at this
time. #
We recommend that the Ordinary order
a public road laid out on the nearest and
best route from Hartwell to Bowersville,
on E. A. L. It. It., and it is very impor
tant that it should be done at once, that
our farmers ami merchants may have the
advantages of it for this crop.
TV e would like to impress Road Com
missioners that the roads need work
through the year, and that a little dirt
scratched in the roads just before Court
will not be tolerated any longer, and all
Commissioners should be reported and
fined who do not attend to their duties.
We beg leave to express our gratification
at the able, dignified and impartial manner
in which his Honor, Judge E. 11. Pottle
has presided during the present term. We
also return thanks to Solicitor General
Reese for his gentlemanly and courteous
bearing toward this body.
We also recommend that presentments
be published in Tjik Sex, published at the
County site of this Count}’.
