Dr. Felton’s Letter.
Not on account of its importance, nor for
its effect upon the people outside of his Dis
trict, bat on account of its g'aring and
wholesale misrepresentations tin we propose
to notice the letter of Mr. Felton.
This remarkable paper will he taken by
the people of the Hi venth District as do the
inhabitants of Utah accept the declarations
of John Smith, or any other "apostle’— as
an oracle of undoubted sanctity It will he
used by his partisans as the text from which
many a political harangue will tie elimina
ted. Indeed, the friends of the Grand
Tycoon will cow lustily over the vain
glorious ebullition. Nor will this be all.
Disappointed office-seekers and ambitious
demagogues all over the State will take it
up, and in the next election it will play no
inconsiderable part. Why ? Because, it
just row chimes in very nicely with their
notions, and also because they believe it is
a wave wli ch will prove sufficient to waft
them into < ffice.
The sober, intelligent, solid, compact
masses of true, unpurchusahle Democrats of
Georgia should be proud of that letter. They
will know now where to (ind its author,
llereto'ore he has professed to be a Demo
crat. Now, however, le bus thrown of! the
mu k and plunts himself squarely on tire
same platform with Akerman, j.c. bryatit,
and other lesser would-be lights of the
Republican party. 'TLere is where he is
now lie no longer attempts to hunt with
the hounds or run with the hare; and it is
supposed that the price of this step is the
Domination by the Republicans for Gov
ernor.
But whut tfleet will this letter have gen
erally? Outside of Felton’s District it will
have no visible influence—none what
ever. Of course it will direct the col
ored Radicals, and white ones too, more
closely to him; but the Democrats will be
solidified against him, for the brazen effront
ery patent in every sentence, und I lie glaring
impertinence which crops out in every para-
gtapli warns them that the time is coming
when this man will, like Gov. Brown on a
former occasion, make an effort to array the
colored voters against the whites, that amid
the excitement he may ride into power.
This is what it will do. It will reunite the
Democracy fiimer than ever, that should
such a crisis come due and ample prepara
tion will have been made.
We suppose that when Felton returns to
Washington, Garfield, nnl other Radical
leaders will welcome him with open arms ;
and this "Democratic member from Georgia"
will a tale unfold of the feeble und disturbed
condition of the Democracy here. It will
doubtless be “hale fellow well met"—a nest
of unclean birds—u gatheiing of vultures,
whose insatiate cravings aie never satisfied
Garfield will rejoice; and by his direction,
and at the crack of his whip, the faithful
henchmen will rally around to p.ay homage
to the distinguished renegade.
For the man who honestly and conscien
tiously cuts loose from party and votes in
dependently, ns his own best judgment may
delate, Thk Weekly cherishes respect;
but for such as Felton, whose only motive is
sordid gain at ull costs, we entertain the
most unmitigated scorn. ’There are a num
ber of citizens lure in Henry who, from the
purest motives, have ret used on more than
one occasion to act with the Democrats, ns
n party, and yet no grosser insult could be
offered them than the uecu salion of being in
fellowship with ihe inch of which this polit
ical nttllius fithus is an acknowledged leader.
'They ure honest. 'They are true to Georgia.
'They were in the ranks when tbe Stale was
at war, and now they are lor Georgia, but
belong to no political organiz itioo.
We part with Felton without a tear. Let
him go. He has never benefit it'd the party
or tbe State, nud we note bis departure with
out the slightest feeling of regret. And
when his name comes before tbe people ot
Georgia as the Radical candidate lor Gov
ernor let it be received w ith hisses aud con
tumely so hitter aud withering that eveu Ins
egotism and vauity will sink beneath it.
’That is the only way of treating men of his
ilk, aud the only means we feel assured that
will eaure him to hide his head iu shame and
disgrace.
Denies it. — Captaiu Burke, of the G.

And in another place, in the same paper,

Lotteries —The following righteous deci
sion will meet very general approval. There
is no business which has such a charm as
that o< dealing in lotteries, and this determi
nation to pot it down will result in much
good :
The Pot master Genera! has decided that
all lottery companies and their agents are
doing a fraudulent business within the pur
view of his statutory powers. He has there

dealers, shall be delivered, but shall be re

A Worthy Kxample.—’This item affords
a pleasant idea of the way colored persons
can get along. If they wonld imitate Geor

Let them try it and see for themselves :

Krv. Felton’s D. I). L«*tt«*r.
As we hnve said the letter of Rev. W. H.
Felton. I>. I)., as it appeared in the New
York Times, does not place that gentleman
fairly and -quarelv in the attitude of an
avowed Radical. We hud been led to be
lieve und Imped that he had at last boldly
thrown ofl the mask of Democracy with
which he has heretofore mvested himself, and
that lie had revealed himself in his true col
ors—iho-e of an out nnd-ont Radical parti
san. But Rev Dr Felton has not yet en
tirely lost his cunning. He does not Del
altogether satisfied that he is sufficiently mas
ter ol the situation to ri-k such a venture,
so he recogr.iz’s the necessity of, as yet, feel
ing his way cautiously along, lie therefore
begins his letter wiih the assertion that he is
“a Jeffersonian Democrat,”and then goes on,
insidiously and artfully, to bring the Na
tional Democracy into all possible disrepute,
evidently hoping that bv adopting this course
he ean accomplish more harm to the Demo
cratic and more good for the Republican
party than if he boldly avowed himself a foe
to the one and a friend to the other.
’Tlie vaulting cunning of Rev. Mr. Felton,
I). l>., Inis this time o’erleapt itself, however,
mid his true designs stand so plainly revealed
that they cannot deceive even the simplest
mind. He stands before the people of his
District as one whose only principle is to al
ways be on the strongest side, so as to secure
personal advantage, und we Imve every rea
son to believe that many hone-t men, hitherto
gulled by bis specious cry of “Independent
Democrat,” and who Imve thoughtlessly given
him tbeir support, will have their eyes open
ed, und will heneeforlh refuse to udhere to
him. The t’olumbus Enquirer Sun, for in
stance, which at the lust electiou heartily
advocated the cause of the reverend politi
cian, now sees und acknowledges its mistake
and now as heartily denounces him * * *
e trust thnt all those honest Democrats of
Georgia who have iu the past, like tho En
quircr-Sun, been deluded iuio wandering
uwuy from the true fold to run after Inde
pendent false gods will see the error of tbeir
way equally us plainly as does that journal.
They may now realize exactly what Inde
pendent ism is; that it merely means being
independent of all principle, and living with
au eye single to personal aggraudiz ment ami
uotliing else, and that its coarse leads direct
ly into the embraces of Radicalism. We
trust also that like the Enquner, they will
determine hereafter to recognize the Demo
cratic principle that the majority rules, that
organization is necessary to success, and that
the decree of the majority, uttered in c<m
veutiou, should be binding upon the party.
They have seen Boss Kelly, one model In
dependent Democrat, so called, deliberately
hand the g cut State of New York over to
the Radicals, aud they nny sec the great
danger of the same thing being done in
Georgia by Boss Felton, D. 1)., aud those of
bis ilk, if their disorganizing counsels are
folio wed, and they aie accorded popular
suppo. t aud eoeourageuieut. —Savannah

Congressman Felton's Letter.
We supported, lo the be-t of our ability.
Dr. Felton in tbe last race, when he sadly
needed friends, because we believed him a
belter Democrat than his opponent. He
wou. We are against this letter, which is
the ouly anti-Democratic utterance we have
heard trout our State. The writer is wholly,
unutterably mistaken. We may have d.ffer
races between degrees of Democracy, but
when it comes lo Republicanism or Democ
racy, the latter will overwhelmingly triumph
It has come to this pa-s that those not wiih
us are again.-t us. The great Democratic
heart if Georgia beats firm and true to
friends und faith, a id be is false who pretends
it is otherwise. Dr. Felton falsifies his
State, and does not represent even u minor

as Dr Felton will find to his cost in tbe
next race If s leMer at this inopportune
occasion has killed his political prospects
a d givt n a blow to independent ism tha>*it
will not recover from. We will hereafter
eh'>ose men we can trns', who will know
when to pneonrage friends and not dishearten
them as Dr Felton has done. We will cling
closer around our cause. We will nominate
men who will be true to no clique or ring,
but to the State; no Independents hut hon
est Democrats, who can say yes and no and
mean it. and elect them. We must have
those strong natures which inspiie confi
dence. 'The money question is nothing in
our State. There Dr. Felton again misrep
resents ns. 'I he silver business disturbs the
people not an iota. They are content with
monetary affairs. The issue of silver has
never been a matter of primary importance
to our people. In this Representative Fel
ton misrepresents ns. In not one single iota
except as an individual, ean he claim to act
tor us His letter, coming as it does, is a
libel npon the sentiment of communities.
He speaks for none but himself, and this he
will be shown by be ng allowed to remain at
home after tbe next Congressional election.
* * * We know of no document written
at such a time as the present which will
tend more to unite firmly the regular Democ
racy than this Felton letter. Georgia can
not afford to vote for those who so foully
misrepresent her people as the author of
such sentiments. We would rather have an
open foe than the one who gives encourage
ment to the enemy in the time of peril. The
Felton letter invites Republicanism to make
any und every advunee. Georgians must
rally to the Democratic colors aud reject
false advLers.— Columbus Enquirer.
The Atlanta Boom for Grant —lt
seems that a real Grant boom has hroken
out in Atlanta We at first thought onr
friends of the Constitution were sky-larking
with ns—that the Grant boom was one of
Harris’ or Grady’s jokes. It turns out.
however, to be no joke. Gut a rather seri
ous Atlanta sensation. We can’t deny that
there is such a thing as a Grant boom in
Atlanta. With shame and mortification we
confess tbe humiliating tact But beg our
Northern Democratic friends to bear in
mind that although Atlanta is Ihe greatest,
♦he fastest, and the loudest town in Georgia,
it is not Georgia. 'There is no such
thing as a Georgia boom for Grant. — Sa

Gen Toombs telegraphed to Gen. Grant
that he was ready to fight again. We
think Mr. 'Toombs might have improved
the opportunity he had to fight Yankees du
ring the last war better than he did ; be

he lost in that line wher. he blustered around
ex-Gov. Joe Brown, and Joseph made him
draw in his horns. The Lemurs Sentinel
man and Bob 'Toombs ought to be hitched
together,or pat in a bag and made to fight
till they were both satisfied of bluster aud
brag. —Griffin Sun.
Griffin Gossip.
Mr. Editor: —Like a lot of unthankful
wretches—meant kindly—we Griffiaites are
driving ahead with business this thanksgiv

Christianity existing in the hearts of the
good people, as there is being held religious
service at some of the churches here to

business for the day, has goue to prayers.

Owing to a press of busiuess I was unable
to prepare a reply to Mr. Hill in time for
last week’s paper, and return to the attack
now only for the purpose of substantiating
some of the charges specified in previous
papers. 'This I deem necessary for the reason
that the points at issue have been made a
question of veracity between Hill and my
self; and in order that every unprejudiced
mind may not be wholly dependent upon my
bare statement for the truth, aud a clear
understanding of tbe matter, and that they
may be disabused of any erroneous impres
siou which Hill’s imaginative utterances
have created, 1 offer herewith, in support of
my charges, evidence Uial cannot be contro
verted .
As Mr. Hill fails to furnish tbe public
with a copy of the false charges which he
claims 1 caused to be preferred against him,
I will assist him to the extent ot my ability,
that 1 shall be doing the public a
Church held at Mt. Cirme! in November
last, I charged Rev. Hill with lying, and
proved the charge to ihe satisfaction of all
present. In conformity with the evidence,
Hill was f iund guilty and reprimanded ly
the pastor. Hill emphatically denies that
the trial had any such result. But the evi
dence of the parties whose names are at
tached to the following certificate will
doubtless have more weight thao Hills
simple denial:
“We, the undersigned, certify that we
were present at Mt. Carmel M. P. Church,
at the Quarterly Conference held in Novem
ber, 1878. and that G. A. Hill was to our
certain knowledge found guilty and repri
manded bv the pastor, Rev. Hanford Moore.
(Signed) "M C. White,
• "B Massit.
“A J. Oonkle.”
In addition to the above, I stand ready
and willing at any time to produce the evi
dence upon which Hill was convicted. So
much for Rev. Hill’s vaunted honor and
truthfulness
As Rev. Hill seems to think my charge of
theft in taking the peas too contemptible to
notice, it is not hkelv he will regard the act
of entering my cornfield wi'houf permission
and taking therefrom several tarns of corn,
worthy of notice either Verily, the rever
pnd gentleman views these little matters
from an extremely elevated standpoint.
Since this controversy opened, he has re
turned both peas and corn, which is, 'o say
the least, constructive evidence of his guilt.
It i- not my purpose, nor shall I endeavor,
to take up Hill’s articles and dispose of
them one by one, in the order in which they
appeared. 'The reward for such an under
taking would not be equal to the task, light
ns it might prove. 1 will simply state that
I haven’t made a single assertion that I can
not establish fully ; on the other hand, Hill
has scarcely made a single statpmeut that I
eannot disprove utterly But not wishing
to weary the readers of 'The Weekly with
a subject which I candidly admit should
never have occupied its columns at all, I will
proceed to close, and in doing so ask an in
dulgent public to pardon tbe temerity which
led me into a controversy with a person so
utterly unworthy of notice as this mail Hill,
and in return I promise never to so belittle
mvself again. I have known few sorrier
m*m in my life than Hill, and all that h' ean
say against me will amount to nothing This
opinion is shared by a majority of the good
citizens of the community, and I am satis
fied. A man who -steals the livery of God
to serve the devil in,” would scruple at uo
act of meanness, however wanton.
I shall now end this controversy, so far as
1 am concerned, by printing the following
certificates relative lo certain alleged acts of
said IliH, whieh.it will be remembered, be
stoutly denied in a recent article. That he
spoke falsely in denying Ihe charges, is too
appurent to admit of the slightest doubt:
“1 do certify that I saw one of the Hills
plowing "Bob Lee,” and at the same time
another one on his back, riding, with a
switch. his

“I do hereby certify that I lived on A. V.
McVieker’s plane for four years, and wus
treated by MeVieker as kindly and with as
much respect us 1 could wish. And to my
certain knowledge, what MeVieker has pub
lished concerning G. A. Hill and the cluli
axe is true, for I was living within 200 yards
ot MeVicker’s honse and saw G. A. Hill
and Phillip and Wesley going home from
MeVicker’s on the morning ulluded to, G.
A Hill catryiug with him his club-uxe.
(Signed) “James T. Welch.”
It is not likely that Hill will further deny
the charges herein alluded to, in the face of
such evidence, and that he stunds convicted
of falsehood is manifest to every sane mind.
In conclusion, l warn Hill never to come
on my premises again. V\ believer he does, I
would advise him to carry a ladder, for he
will need it. I further warn hint to be ex
tremely cautions in what be may have to
say about me in fu ure. There are other
remedies besides the pen that I can resort
to, aod 1 shall Dot be slow to do it
