Political—The Feelings of our
People.
The resignation of Gen. John II
Gordon as United States Senator was
a surprise to every one for he pos
sessed the confidence of the people,
was popular with all classes and in
his official position was accomplish
ing great good for Geogia. lie had
her interests at heart and was always
actuated by pure and patriotic mo
tives. IIo was a man of whom all
felt proud, he was honest, conserva
tive, eneigetic and able; he was the
man for the place, Georgia's favor
ite s6n, who all delighted to honor.
Before our people fully appreciated
their loss, in the resignation and re
tirement of so great and good a man
as Gen. J. IJ. Gordon from the public
service, they were shocked by the
report that Ex-Gov. Joseph E Brown
had been appointed as bis successor.
This news caused good men to
hang their heads, and many looked
Bad and despondent, the excitement
was intense and is not yet allayed.
Gov. Colquitt is a high toned,
courteous, Christian gentleman, one
whom our peop e loved and who
they delighted to honor, a unanimous
vote awaited him in Washington
county in the next canvass for guber
natorial hounrs, his name awakened
an enthusiasm among our whole peo
ple, of which his friends felt proud,
and they desired to endorse him and
his administration, but the feeling
that now animates the masses is one
of bitter and unforgiving antago
nism.
Had the Senatorial robe been ten
dered to such a umu as lion. II. V
Johnson the appoint mi nt would huvi
met the approval <f the tried and
true men all over the State, and liis
acceptance would have been hailed
with acclaina‘ions of joy, for ho i
indeed a man who has been tried in

whose original cost of construction
and expense of keeping in repair is
so different. A road that cost twen

must charge no more for freight oi

only four thousand dollars a mile ti

HON. RUFUS E. LESTER.
Eds. Mercury:
Please allow me space in your
valuable colums to give my views
in connection with the-Gubernation-
al race, a little airing.
The time is rapidly approaching,
when the Democracy of Georgia, in
Convention assembled, represen
ting the wisdom of a great state
will be called upon to select from
the numerous candidates presented
and whose names have been sugges
ted, as being worthy of all honor,
and- eminently qunllified for the
high and responsibse trust, one
who shall become tho standard
bearer of the Party in the coming
Gubernatorial canvass.
Georgia has many noble sons ot
whom she may well be proud; and
not tho least among them in many
worthy qualities and Christian vir-
tures, is our present incumbent,
Hon. Alfred 11. Colquitt; but lie has
been weighed in the balance and
found wanting'' in several very es
sential requisites.
Now, while we have no war to
make on the Governor personally
and are convinced of the rectitude
of his intentions, we are uIbo,equal
ly convinced, that there are men in
tho old Commonwealth who are
far superior to him in far-reaching
Statesmanship and executive abili
ty. These facts will doubtless, be
denied by an idolatrous constituen
cy, who claim that the Governor
has performed miracles since his
inauguration. The reduction of
the taxes,and the Prosperous finan
cial condition of tho state to-day,
they attribute almost entirely to
his industrious efforts.
Do the members of tho joint ti
nance committee, then, claim no
credit for this happy result l The
Governor simply carried out the
will of tho Legislature, and per
formed his compulsory duty under
the New Constitution, and does
this mark him as a great financier ':
Come gentlemen, be governed by
teason, and let truth have its le
gitimate influence.
{Some of the Governors’ friends,
in their great enthusiasm, charge
his political enemies with making
war upon him solely from the fact
that he is a zealous Christian. Noth
ing is further from the truth. No
sane man, however irreligious he
may be, would be base enough lo
attack him upon those grounds.
But it, is stated upon good author
ity that the Govirnor is frequently
absent from the Capital, preaching
or delivering Sunday-school speech
es, when he is wanted on impor
tant official business. Now it
there is truth in these char
ges, it is certainly good cause of
complaint for the Governor has no
right whatever to neglect his of
ficial duties to attend to any otliei
business.
And now, upon the top of all
this, comes the intelligence of the
resignation of Senator Gordon, and
the appointment of ex-Governor
Joseph E. Brown to fill the vacan
cy. Is there not “something rot-
ton in Denmark,” or rather in
Georgia politics. Fellow-citizens,
can you stomach this, with the
Post Bellum record of Joe Brown
staring you in the face ? Is there
a Simon Pure Democrat of the Jef
fersonian school,who can consistent
ly vote for the Governor after this
suicidal stroke ? We anticipate a
thundering negative in response.
Let us then look around for a
leader of ihe right mould, one up
on whom all parties could unite,
and whose nomination by the De
mocracy would settle all jealousies
and petty difficulties.
I11 looking over the roll of hon
ored names in Georgia, there is
not one among that list of eminent
worthies whose record shines with
a brighter or purer lustre, whose
politictil career has been more fault
less.open and manly,or who fought
