^•,, A n Uartersville, Ga., June
- _ Editors Count it at Ion: I was stir-
prispil in reading yesterday's Con
stitution to find you ltad resolved to
attack me before you even allowed
votir readers to examine into my
statements, which you denominate
slander.
You make an unqualified charge,
ami if you are correct I should be
punishable under the law. If you
are not correct you have slandered
| demand a hearing in the
same Column in which your attack
appeared. The issue is now be
tween you and myself. Gen. Gor
don has deliberately ignored the
plain, unvarnished charges against
Ids political character, lie endeav
ors to silence criticism by calling
them slanders, although he knows
ho can not answer and confesses
guilt by silence. But it is different
with you. You anti I are responsi
ble to the public, and if you have
spoken the truth I deserve condem
nation. If I have spoken the truth
you owe me proper amends. I
have no fear of the result, and you
cannot deprive me of a hearing in
your columns without placing your
self in the attitude of a malicious
and unjust partisan, upon whose
head such injustice must recoil.
I would lirst remind you that Mr.
Hill is dead. You and Gen. Gordon
have dragged his name into this
canvass when he is not alive to re
ply for himselt. My newspaper
controversy with Mr. Hill was set
tled during his lifetime; I suppose
satisfactorily to himself, as he made
no reply to my last letter on the
subject. You arc incorrect in say
ing that I assaulted him when he
was sick. I have Mr. Grady’s in
terview with Mr. Hill before me, in
1 which he is authorized to say for
Mr. Hill that lie was in the finest
health and spirits, and determined
to attack me all oyer Georgia as en
deavoring to “Africanize the State.”
I defended myself promptly from
the assault which Hon. A. H. Ste
phens denominated as a most un
wise and unjust charge. These arc
facts, and it is late in the day for
you to rise up and defend Mr. Hill,
where he declined to defend him
self either in person or by proxy.
You are incorrect in saying I pur
sued Ins good name with hatred or
revenge. When his son, Charles
llill, was a candidate before tlie
legislature tor his present ofllce, my
vote and influence would have
defeated him, yet I cast it for him.
His brother thanked me on the
spot, and gave expression to some
kind feelings unnecessary to men
tion here.
Remember Mr. Ilill is dead.
General Gordon used his monument
and the exercises at which Mr.
Davis was present for an unholy
purpose, and I am well enough ac
quainted with Hill’s opinion of
Gen. Gordon, in years gone by, to
-say he would have been as indig
nant at the effort of Gen Gordon,
its was Mr. Davis when ho became
fully acquainted with the methods
employed by General Gordon’s
friends in this campaign, when he
was informed of their extent and
the purpose for which His visit to
Georgia was used by them. No
thing escanes Gen. Gordon, how
ever. He appeared as chief mourn
er at Mr. Stephen’s funeral, when
the latter wrote as late as Septem
ber, 1S80, that General Gordon was
“hollow hearted, deceitful, unprin
cipled, dishonorable and unreliable
in every way.” 1 have the letter.
Ho appeared at Gen. Grant’s fun
eral as chief mourner, with the in
famous Belmont coal swindle still
hanging about him and a matter of
open discussion In the courts of
New York city. You cannot won
der, then, that he is now ready to
ride into some office on Mr. Hill’s
fame, although Mr. Hill himself in
formed mo of the slanderous letters
on his private character written by
General Gordon to members of the
legislature to defeat Mr. Hill for
tiio senate. Mr. Grady has not for
gotten his own denunciation of
General Gordon upon this matter,
which occurred in Washington di
rectly after Mr. Hill’s election, and
which words were noted, at the
time, by other persons as well as
myself.
When you go behind dead men
to attack me, l can give you a Ro
land for every Oliver, hut you shall
always ho tho first to Inaugurate
midi a tight, and l charge you again
to remember, that Mr. Hill is dead.
Now Ft)It GENERAL (lOItl)ON.
As to General Gordon, 1 have
mad® no statement without tho
proof. That you may ho ublo to
defend him, if you can, since he
fails to defend himself. 1 will re*
Mate the charges here, and unless
you can successfully refute them,
you will stand convicted before tho
people of tho offense charged by
you, upon myself.
1 have charged, and shall con
tinue to charge, that Gen. Gordon
introduced a Hill into the forty-
fourth congress, on tlie 12th of Jan
uary, 1877, to antagonize the Thur
man funding bill, which bill he ad
vocated in a speech before the
senate.
I charge that G. P. Huntington,
president of the Central Pacific
railroad, called that bill introduced
by Gordon, “our bill,” and wrote to
Colton, bis California partner, that
lie could pass that bill with $200,-
000. He did not pass it, tlmnk God!
lie wrote to Colton two days
after the forty-fifty congress con
vened, on March 7th, 1877, that his
bill was in better shape to pass than
ever before, as lie stayed two days
in Washington fixing up the senate
committee on railroads. On the
10th of March he wrote to Colton
that “Tom Scott had succeeded in
putting ono of liis men off and in
putting one of Scott’s men on.”
“Gordon, of Georgia, was put off
and Bogy, of Missouri, was put on.”
I charge General Gordon with
being Huntington’s “man,” because
he introduced Huntington’s bill,
and because Huntington calls him
“bis man”—and General Gordon
does not deny it.
The truth is not slander, Mr.
Editor, and Hie truth 1ms been told
if the Congressional Record and C.
B. Huntington are to be believed.
I charge General Gordon with en
deavoring to decoy thirty Southern
congressmen into the toils of Hunt
ington, who said that trip would
cost tiie railroad $10,000.
I charge General Gordon with
voting against tho Thurman fund
ing bill, when every member of the
house of representatives voted for
it, but Ben Butler and Mr. Lynde,
of Wisconsin. S. S. Cox, in a speecli
that day said the railroad kings
boasted “our best senators bad their
price.”
Colonel Printup and Judge Un
derwood told me General Gordon
was denounced in a hotel dining
room as a man who had been
bought by the railroads, with the
price stated, while they were visit
ing Washington in the spring of
1878. Ask them if these tilings
were not so discussed in their hear
ing at that time.
1 charge General Gordon with
endeavoring to trade with Stanley
Mathews and Charles Foster after
Hayes and Tilden’s canvass for the
presidency was closed. The letters
written by those gentlemen to Gen.
Gordon and John Young Brown
were published in the Constitution
by authority of Senator Joseph E.
Brown in the year 1877. Governor
Brown derided General Gordon, he
held him up to public scorn, and lie
proved as true what Gen. Gordon
then called a slander, just as I have
proved to be true what you now
call slanders.
I charge General Gordon with
being a convict lessee on the orig
inal contract bond, now responsible
to the state, and as the man who
signed a contract with Edward Cox,
Gordon to furnish sixty convicts for
eight years, for which he was to re
ceive fifty bales of cotton as rental.
I refer to the supreme court records
for the proof. His statement to the
Working World that his name was
“never mentioned in the partner
ship,” I prove to be unqualifiedly
false, by the same authority.
Truth is not slander, Mr. Editor.
I charge General Gordon with
having left the United States sen
ate, as he has said, to accept $14,000
annualiy, as general counsel for
Victor Newcomb, who, at that time,
was ordering Governor Brown to
charge every man who received
goods that were transported by the
Western and Atlantic railroad
three cents per hundred pounds ex
tra, if those goods were shipped
from Cincinnati. I charge General
Gordon with being in the employ
of Victor Newcomb, whose effort
was to control tho lease shares of
tho state road, in his own interest,
in open defiance of the lease law
and while Victor Newcomb was
thus seeking to defeat the will of
the people of Georgia, and to con
trol the state road, John B. Gordon
was doing some work for Victor
Newcomb, for which Gordon was
to receive twice tho salary that tho
lessees of the state road pay to
Governor Brown. Now 1 demand
proof, in refutation of these charges,
from the Constitution, which has
entered the light, and denounced
me as a slanderer.

San Francisco, June 12.—It is

that it is proposed to sell the Ha

European capitalists for $10,000,000.
A bill was recently introduced by
the Hawaiian government author
izing a loan of $2,000,000. It is stat
ed that a’number of native legisla
tors are ready with an amendment
making the amount $10,000,000. Mr.
Hoffman, the agent to the island
for the immigration of Portuguese,
has assured the king that a syndi
cate of European capitalists is
ready to furnish the money. It this
were consummated, it would virtu
ally mean the sale of the islands, as
the amount could never be repaid
by the Hawaiian government. It
is stated that the king is not averse
to the proposition as long as he se
cures tlie greater part of the money.

Waruenton, Ga., June 14.—Hon.
A. O. Bacon spoke hero to-day to
an enthusiastic audience of about
150 voters and 100 ladies. The court
house was handsomely decorated
by the ladies ot the town. Over the
head of the speaker was the motto:
“They shall beat their swords into
plowshares.” The walk to the court
house was lined with school child
ren who bore a banner on which
was incribed “Save our school
fund.” When Mr. Bacon entered
the court house he was greeted with
prolonged applause. Some one
gave a cheer for General Gordon,
but ho was quickly hissed down.
Mai. Bacon was introduced in a
short and appropriate address by
Hon. T. N. Pool. There was but
one interruption and that was from
a Bacon man who wanted to know
if he would support Gon. Gordon
should he ho nominated. Maj. Ba
con replied that he would certainly
vote for the nominee. At tho con
clusion of his speech Hon. Patrick
Walsh, of Augusta, was called for

America.’ That treaty never took
place. The bonds by their terms
are not yet due, and will never he
due. But, apart from all this, the
United States made England pay
the Alabama claims, based on the
pretensions that negative the idea
that the government will ever pay
a debt contracted to fight it. It is
an idle waste of time to discuss this
question, and minds to which the
proposition made is not an arrant
absurdity would never understand
tlie arguments presented. Evi
dently speculators and jobbers are
trying to make a turn In Confeder
ate bonds, and evidently also only
the ignornant and unwary will be
caught by such chaff as is thrown
before thepi. ’ Judge Fullerton is
an'able lawyer, and I have no idea
that he can entertain the slighest
notion of success. He speaks for
clients, as lie has a right to do, and
his clients have a right to be heard
if they want to be; but they are on
the wildest kind of a wild-goose
chase, and if they expect the United
States to pay them anything they
are themselves tlie wildest kind of

A Woman's Strunge History.
Jennie Johnson, a woman about
thirty years of age, was sentenced
in tho district court, at Lamed,
Kan., last Thursday, to two years
at hard labor in the penitentiary,
having been convicted of the theft
of two horses. Mrs. Johnson has a
strange history. She was a Southern
woman, born in Gwinnett county,
Ga., and the daughter ot wealthy
parents. Their fortune was swept
away during the war. When fifteen
years of age she joined an opera
company and attained considerable
prominence oil the stage. She mar
ried an actor named Johnson, and
about five years ago they took up
tHeir residence in Fort Smith, Ark.
Her husband got into a shooting
scrape shortly after, and receiving
a fatal wound, confessed on his
death-bed that lie was a forger to
the amount of $4,000. Three years
ago she moved with a family
named Brocket to Comanche coun
ty, Kan., a county which was at
that time very sparsely inhabited,
and which borders on the Indian
Territory. Mrs. Johnson bought a
farm, • cultivated it herself, and
raised a good crop. She lived at
that time with the Brocker family.
During the Indian troubles two
years ago, while Brocker was away,
the house was attacked by a band
of Indians, and had it not been tor
Mrs. Johnson the whole family
would have been massacreed. She
made good use of the shotgun, rifle
and ammunition in the house.
Three lifeless redskins were found
the next morning a short distance
from tlie house.

“The proposition brought forward
for the holders of Confederate bonds
by Judgo Fullerton that this
government is hound or ought to
pay those bonds,” said Representa
tive Daniel, of Virginia, to a Post
reporter yesterday, “is as palpable
and as eccentric an absurdity as the
frivolous wit of man can invent.
In tlie first place, the amendment
to (ho Federal constitution forbids
it, and that alone disposes of the
question, in the second place, tlie
United States supremo court has
decided that Confederate securities
never had a legal constitutional ex
istence, and that settles them, in
tho third place, (ho theory of the
war was that tlie Confederate
states had no legal existence. The
victors in tho war would as soon
think of reviving the Confederacy
as of paying its debts, and tho men
who wore Confederates aro as little
disposed us their former foes to pay
them. In tho fourth place; there is
no law, no equity, no principle of
honor, and no reason of expediency
to suggest that the United States or
that anybody should pay tho Con
federate debt.”
“Was it generally understood that
tho validity of tho debt depended
on tho validity of tho government
that assumed to contract it?”
“Certainly, everybody knew that.
The Confederate bonds—at least
such as I have seen—expressed this

St. Louis, June 12. — George
Woodford to-day filed in the United
States circuit court against Jay
Gould, a suit for $7)00,000 for breach
of contract. While tlie St. Louis
and San Francisco was buying its
way into St. Louis, Woodford, who
owned some land on the line, ob
jected to the price tlie road offered.
His property was condemned. Lit
igation ensued, during the course
of which he discovered there was a
flaw in the articles of incorporation
of tlie company. This information
lie took to New York and imparted
to Gould on condition that the lat
ter would join with them in the
construction of a railroad from Pa
cific, Mo., to St., Louis oil the pro
perty condemned by the St. Louis
and San Francisco. When the new
company was incorporated, Gould
refused to tako any interest in tho
road and would not furnish monoy
for tho prosecution of tho schemo.
Housed the information, however,
it is alleged, in intimidating those
who controlled the road until they
abandoned the project of building
into this city from tlie Pacific, and
made a contract with Gould to come
in over the Missouri Pacific tracts.
Hence tho alleged breach of con
tract.
Richmond Dispatch.
The eastern band of the Cherokee
Indians is now scattered in six
states. The bulk of tlie tribe have
their homo in North Carolina. In
Swain and other western counties
these Indians have a reservation of
73,000 acres, for which they hold a
deed of trust. Upon this vast tract
they live somewhat in common,
cultivating and otherwise using tlie
land in such manner as each deems
best. The whole number of Chero-
kees belonging to the eastern hand
is 3,029. Of these 1,881 are in North
Carolina, 750 in Georgia, 313 in Ten
nessee, and 8 in New Jersey. The
tribe in North Carolina comprises
the band proper and the others are
only detached portions which have
been separated by circumstances.
Tho main part of the band resides
in the Indian Territory, whither
they have invited our own Chero-
kees to come and share their lands
and rights with them. In an inter
view with Chief Smith, this week, a
reporter asked tlie question, “Do
you think it probable that your peo
ple will accept tlie invitation of the
Western tribe to move to the Indian
Territory?” Chief Smith said he
had called a meeting of the council
to know what was thought of the
matter, and lie found the sentiment
of his co-adjutors somewhat averse
to the idea of going away. “But,”
said tho chief, “if the government
will defray tlie expenses of trans
portation, I think our people could
be induced to leave Carolina and
join our own tribe in tlie far West.”
The chief remarked that lie felt that
it would be best for his people if
they would go, for tlie reason, prin
cipally, that they would not be so
easily duped as they are now by
shrewd white men with whom they
trade. The prevailing disease
among the eastern Cherokees, Chief
Smith said, was pneumonia, and he
thought tlie climate of the Indian
Territory would suit the health of
his people better than the high cold
region of Swain county,’which is in
the Blue Ridge country and very
lofty. Tlie eastern Cherokee In
dians have good educational facul
ties at present. A large school
building has been erected at a cost
of $4,000, besides other buildings
that have been put up by private
enterprise. The Quakers have tak
en great interest in these people,
and are doing noble work in their
behalf. Besides the attendance on
day school, there is now a Sunday
school in successful operation, in
which tlie people seem to feel much
interested. In this Sunday school
international lesson papers are used
as in other Sabbath schools. It is
probablo that within two or three
years the eastern band of Cherokees
will join their brothers in the West,
and tlie last of the tribes will pass
away from the Carolina hunting
grounds.

SAMUEL DUNLAP, OK ATLANTA, UA.
The excellent picture we present nt the head
ol this column, Is of a man who Is as well
ami favorably known In his capacity as a
travelling man or “drummer” as any ono
man In the United States.
Mr. Dunlap said In conversation recently:
“At out four years ago I had a severe attack
of rheumatism, which completely disabled
me for a time, and which developed into
what Is eommonnly called ‘chronic,’ attack
ing mo when least expected, and laying mo
up entirely; Incapacitating mo for uny kind
ot business, and causing me as muuh trouble
In a day as should bo crowded in a lifetime.
After one if my most severe attacks, and

mot Mr. J. M. Hunnlcutt, an old friend, and
he said lie could make a remedy that would
cure me, and by gracious, lio did. I took two
bottles of his stuff, prepared from roots and
herbs, and f have never had a twinge of rheu

About six months ago It was determined to
place it upon the market, and a Arm was or

A Snnku Story.
Lewiston, Me., Journal.
Speaking of the venomous snake
which caused the horrible death of
the little boy who lived near Grand
Falls, a short time since, a Lewiston
man vouches for the truth of a sim
ilar occurrence in the eastern part
of this state, which came under his
observation not long ago. A young
fellow who was a noted sportsman,
always running about the woods,
gunning and fishing, one day about
a month since took His fishing rod
and started for a trout brook where
lie was wont to make his headquar
ters during the fishing season. He
tells the story himself that about
noon, the day being warm, ho be
came thirsty and stretched himself
out on the bank of a trout brook
and began drinking a cool draught
from a clear pool just below a small
waterfall. How the misfortune
happened he can hardly explain,
hut when in the very act ot drink
ing he sucked into His stomach a
largo water-snake.
It was with difficulty that ho
crawled homo and obtained assist
ance of physicians. His symptoms
grow alarmingly serious soon after
medical aid was summoned. Tho
doctors did everything in their
power, hut all their efforts only re
sulted in milking tho young man’s
condition more critical. The snake
nearly choked tlie man to death
several times by crawling back and
forth in his throat. Tho young man
was nearly dead, when his friends
advised him to go back to the trout
brook, lay down near the water and
perhaps the gurgling of tho water
brook might ontlse the water-snake
out of his stomach hack to his na
tive haunts. Tho victim of this
awful calamity thought the experi
ment only a foolish elianco for life,
but lie consented to try it. lie was
