Very respectfully,
May 24th, IHSO. Vot lttw.
VIXDH'ATIIIU niARAtTKR.
For the last few months a great deal has
been said in Georgia politics about vindi
cating character. When office seekers go
.around over the State asking to be ro-elcct
cti in order to vindicate them, we are re
minded of an old North Carolina back
nroodsman, who ran for the Legislature
six times in succession, and each time
wanted to run to vindicate his re-cord. We
have been free to express ourselves as ut
terly opposed to any man being elected to
office on any such balderdash ; but he
should be elected on his fitness for office.
Among the long list of officials who arc
Tiow in the political, arena making pite
ous appeals to the people to come and vin
•dicate their records, we notice J. W. Rcn
iroe, the present Treasurer of the State.
The last House of Representatives prefer
red articles of impeachment against him
for official violations of law, and the Sen
ate voted largely after hearing the evidence
in favor of Mr. Renfroc'sconviction. The
Constitution requiring two-thirds to con
vict, he escaped by a scratch—a small
number less than the two-thirds voting for
• conviction. If the Democratic party of
the State has sufficient vindicating proper
ties in it as to blot out the violations of
law for which an honorable House has im
peached him and nearly two-thirds of our
honorable Senate lias voted to convict him,
ibe vindicating machine is a little better
equipped than we bad supposed. The
truth of it is. it would secin that Mr. Ren
froe’s candidacy is a sort of serio-comic
farce. And yet there are several others
m the same political boat with Mr. Ren
froe.
On all such matters we have firm and
decided convictions, and the great right of
• expressing those convictions. If the Dem
•ocratic party of Georgia will stand by its
bright record of honesty in the public ser
vice, and of holding officials to a rigid ac
• countibiiity. its future success is assured;
• but if instead of that, it goes to covering
■up official short-comings and neglect in of
fice, and goes to nominating men for the
tpurpose of vindicating their characters,
whose records fail to vindicate them, then
it will receive withering contempt. Let
men be elected for office whose official
purity stands out amidst the corruptions
of these days, above even the appearance
of wrong-doing. Let their bright official
characters stand forth in these degenerate
/times like the brilliant light-house amidst
t’.he foaming billows of destruction. Then
•will success crown our efforts —then will
good government, happiness and prosper
ity,result to our people.
*X VMMI'EU II ABLE ItKCARD.
Ever since the nomination of Hancock;
amt English desperate efforts have been
made on the part of their political oppo
nents to discover something vulnerable in
their records that would serve as campaign
'thunder. Hut after the most rigid investi
gations. their characters in public and pri
vate life stand out in bold relief, free from
spot or blemish. Always faithful in the
discharge of public trusts, always true to
•every behest of duty, the convention at
Cincinnati have presented two names to
the people of America that all good men
of all sections and parties should take de
light in Supporting. They aro not asked
to support them on account of a proud and
honorable ancestry alone; they are not
.asked to support them on account of the
•bright military record of the candidate
for the Presidency ; neither are the peo
ple asked to support this ticket because
forsooth it is necessary in order to vindi
cate their characters ; but they are asked
•to support it because their records during
their whole lives, in both private and pub
lic. are complete and unanswerable vindi
cations of their fidelity and eminent fit
ness for the positions for which they are
proposed by their fellow-countrymen.
The people should carry this ticket to vie-
tory, because it leads the way for a com
plete obliteration of all divisions between
(be sections. The South is going to give
an exhibition of her titlelity to the Union.
Shu is going to demonstrate the great fact
that she has turned her hack on rebellion
forever, and she is going to do this by
lending her undivided and unwavering sup
port to the brave soldier who bravoly led
his troops in battle to maintain the one
and crush the other. No higher exhibition
of the South's loyalty could be given, and
no higher will be asked.
OCR CIRCUIT JI IMiK.
It is extremely gratifying to the many
friends of Judge E. 11. Pottle to know that
the prospect is so bright of his being unan
imously .the. Judgeship of the
Northern Circuit by the Legislature in No
vember. Judge Pottle was elevated to
the Dench in 1873, being appointed to
(ill the unexpired term created by the
death of the late Judge Garnett Andrews,
lie has discharged the duties of the office
with distinguished ability ever since that
time, and has grown in popularity with
our people all the while. Recognising Ins
eminent litness for the position, and com
pletely satisfied with his long judicial ad
ministration, they will hail with gladness
his re-election.

Col. John A. Wimpy, a leading Re
publican of this State, announces publicly
that since the Chicago Convention refused
to nominate (.rant, he will vote and use
his influence for Hancock and English.
Asa Gunn, the negro whom the detec
tives tracked down as an accomplice in the
Defoor murder, near Atlanta, has been
tried and convicted of murder, much to the
surprise of most people. The jury recom

Ilis counsel gave notice of a motion for a
new trial.
In New York a Doctor, by the name of
Tanner, is trying the unheard of feat of
abstaining from food for forty days. He
has not tasted food in two weeks, and
seems he getting on as well as ho did
when he began. All the fools in the
world are not dead yet; but this hungry
doctor will add one more to the list, if he
doesn’t chamber a good square meal in a
few days.
Georue Au.kn Thick, colored, who
was liung in Cincinnati, on the 9th instant,
for the murder of Mr. Villic Illack, tobacco
nist, the day before his execution said to
the guards: “ The days when I was a slave
in Kentucky were days of happiness for
me. My feedom has brought me nothing
but the gallows. How gladly would I
change my present position tor that on the
plantation.”
The Fokest News (Jefferson, Jackson
Cos), of the 9th instant, states that a woman
was found dead on the farm of Mr. George
Freeman, about four miles from town.
The body was pierced with two bullet
holes, one in the breast, evidently caused
by a ritlc, and the second in the forehead,
which had the appearance of having been
made by a pistol, which had been fired after
the woman was down as the wound was
burnt by powder. The cause and perpetra
tor of the horrid deed is unknown
In Danville, Va., on the night of the 9th
instant a young man went to a house of ill
fame and inquired for a girl that was there.
She recognized him as her brother. He re
quested her to go to a room with him
which she did, and he drew a pistol and
shot her five times, fatally. She did not
die immediately, but said her brother did
right in killing her, and begs that he be
not punished. On their separation after
the tragedy, the brother and sister em
braced with mutual forgiveness and tears
of grief. She was only seventeen, and
went wrong but a few months since.
THE formation of a “ Hancock Veteran
Association.” to be composed of ex-sol
diers, and sailors. Federal and Confederate,
is one of the best movements possible in a
political point of view, and is peculiarly
proper for many reasons. Clubs will be
formed everywhere, North and South, the
headquarters of the Association being in
New York. The only requirement for
membership will he service in the army or
navy, and a pledge to support Hancock for
the Presidency. This movement will
bring together those thousands of soldiers
who have long desired the election of Han
cock because of the confidence they had
in him, and the regard they had for him as
a soldier and a comrade. The (Jeneral
served with the Army of the Potomac
throughout the war, and is known and re
spected by all the innumerable thousands
of brave men who followed his gallant
leadership, or opposed him on many san
guinary battlefields.

To the Voters of the 31st. Senatorial
District.
From the Toecoa Newt.
The very general expectation that I
would become a candidate for Senator from
this district will, 1 have no doubt, furnish
a satisfactory apology for this public an
nouncement. If a private announcement
were as efficacious in making known the
determination which I have reached, to
that large number of intelligent and patri
otic citizens, scattered as they are all over
the Senatorial District, who have with so
much warmth and earnestness urged my
candidacy, the latter method would be to
me the more agreeable one.
After mature thought upon the subject,
I have decided that I will not become a
candidate for this, or any other office, now.
The reasons which have controlled me in
reaching this decision, are, that my candi
dacy at present would involve a loss of
time from business and an expenditure of
money which I am financially unable to
to bear.
The only possible regret which I might
experience in declining the present candi
dacy is, that in doing so I may disappoint
the expectation of my friends ; a result
which I have hitherto industriously labor
ed to avoid and which I would not now
voluntarily impose upon them.
To my immediate neighbors, represent
ing every class of good people, from the
day laborer to the professional man, who
have with such flattering unanimity invit
ed ray candidacy, 1 have no language in
which to express my appreciation ; and to
my many friends in Franklin and Hart
counties, and other portions of this, who
have also honored me, I am alike grateful, j
John M. Freeman.
Cumming Clarion : Last Thursday there
was quite a rain, wind and hail storm
passeu near town. A field of corn of
Capt. Foster was ribboned by the hail.
At Mr. Erastus Vaughn's three miles south
of tow n, a very unfortunate affair occurred.
YV hen the rain c ante up James King, who
was at work for Mr. Vaughn, took out his
inule and sought shelter under a tree near
the house. The back-band came loose and
fell to the ground. Mr. King stooped to
pick it up and as he did so the mule kicked
him over the region of the heart from
which he died almost instantly. He
leaves a fond wife and four children in
destitute circumstances.

A young lady living not a thousand
miles from Atlanta sent a young man in

of a white handkerchief with his name pret

I sometime* think of thee.
Now every time you blow your nose,
Will you remember me !"
