He did not satisfactorily explain his resignation.
The people of Georgia honored him with

and made such an uaatisfactory explanation of hls

BlaXf.lt, May 24.—Having seen nothing iu your

of Borne citizens as being influential men of the
towu, all l eiug for Gordon, I herewith send a list
of Bacon men. Among them you will see men of
with the people of this county (Appling.) Reports
from ail ovtr the county are favorable to Bacon.
Gordou Is too fresh from Wall street. Considering
that he has becu and Is now engaged in railroad
manipulations, we think It somewhat lingular that
he should appear at this particular time; that is,
when the disposition ot the State road aud con
vict question were about to be made. Another
thing we do not like, one would think from his
gusto and general deportment that the State be
longed to him, because he is General Gordon. This
we aro not willing to admit. We don’t, or at least
a majority of us don’t, feel disposed to turn the
State over to any man in fee simple, because lie
won some distinction in a war twenty years ago
aud for which service he has been amply paid.
Wo want honest government, and to get honest
government we^nust give it an honest head. We

Also Col. Jordon, attorney, and W. D. Jamc.L
have no doubt of Bacon’s honesty. We see, too,
mauy inconsistencies in Gordon’s acts and words.
No charge has over been preferred against Bacoo;
hia escutcheon is chan aud nnaullicd, his record
wilt bear any amount of criticism, Be W always
been faithful to the people, in peace as well as in
agent in Elbertou who sends the local news and
takes subscriptions, and who la worthy and truth
ful. Sfveral days ago he sent the Constitution a re
port how Elbert county stood on the Bacon-Gordon
matter. The report was an average of 150 Bacon
conscientiously that he waa speaking the truth.
Then wbv hesitato between the two, Gordon and
Bacon? Does not stern policy and common sense
pie to express their will through the primaries in
the different counties, aud Major Bacou declined
to do so.
'Upon what fdod has this our Ciesar fed that he
has grown so great?” certainly not bacon. Major Ba
con’s reply is full of wttdom and reflects honor on
him. "The kood people of the £Veat Stato of Geor-
e ia are sovereign, let them speak in such manner aa
eat suits them, and I ns their servant, will bow
cheerfully to their will.”
The Constitution says tho General Is daily storm
ing aud capturing Bacon strongholds. Well, It he
continues his storming, the Bute will soon Ire solid
for bacon. His violation of the agreement between
Messrs. Walsh and Howell, aa evidenced by bis al
lusion In bis speech at Hartwell, will not beuedt
him. The people of Georgia are not the fools that
General Gordon and the Constitution take them to
be. They dotuand a manly, open contest, and he
who wages any otner sort will fall at their hands.
Ilinkles's little letter is doing its work, sud will
prove a boomerang to besmirch Its author. Our
executive committee meets to-day, aud every Bucon
maa in Bumter wants a primary, and rull time. 1
ppose we will get it If there is such s thing In
dictate that we take the man that we know to be
honest to the one of whom we bsve doubts? I think
so, and I believe I am not mistaken when I aay we
thins so, meaning two-thirds of the people of this
county.
What ban Gordon told the people in the joint
dltcuatlon? Nothing, absolutely nothing, lie did
succeed in slandering Ben Hill’s memory at Amerl-
cus; and he deqronatratod at one place where he
aud 20 Gordon. The Constitution refused to pub
lish it. Y**t when T. M. Swift, a merchant, who
credits the famera and who canvassed them in hia
store on a rainy uav, sends up the report that “30
Gordon, fi Bacon, 3 uncommitted, and 1 for Mr.
Black,” it la spread quickly on thbir “neutral”
sheet. Elbert will go for Bacon. Her yoomannr
cannot be fouled by whoops, the echoes of which
died away twenty years ago. Fitness for office is
“ dictum of our people. •

as tor Gorduu’s reasons for resigning the Sena-
torshlp, he ha* told *o many tales about it that no
body knowe which to believe, if any. Ho tells now,
I believe, that the strain upon bis puree by ex-
Confederated was so great that his salary was in
sufficient to meet it- That looks very much like a
bid for the soldiers' vote. It was claimed, I be
lieve, that these ex Confederates were all the time
going to Wasb'ngton seeking office through Gordon,
aud Gordon generally had to pay their ways back
home. This sounds a little atraugn, when It is
taken Into consideration that when Gordon was iu
Congress the administration waa Republican, and
that such a thing as a Democrat much lass an ex-
Confederate, gcPiug office war almost unknown.
That war wuoop Gordon tries to get up wherever
he goes is simply disgusting. We don't want a man
for Governor simply because be was a good soldier.
A man may have been a good soldier and yet unfit
for anything else. Hm Gordon been lit for much
elte since the war? Ills record does not prove it

heard mnch of high commendation of him. Is there
auy wonder that ex-members of the Legislature
who sat under his atulntstration are such warm

in the ntate is mors familiar with toe legislation of
the State than Bacon; ho Is a floe lawyer and a man
of high character, and to the best of my in forty a-

me that there is scarcely a man in Georgia more
specially fitted for Governor than Major Bacou.

'Forsyth, Oa., May 27 —(HpsciaLJ—On oue

A Fair .Sample of their Mlsreprenentlon,
Cartesmtilli., Ga., May 28.—I see by this mom
log’s Comtitutlon that Gen. Gordon met with
enthusiastic recaption at the depot tn this city
the train passed through on yesterday. TbU causes
me to wonder If thla Is n fair samplo made by the
reporters of that journal from other localities *
the State.
The truth U, while the Constitution’s reporter
says there ware at hast five hundred men at our
depot, as Oordon psssed through there were not
exceeding fifty; and Isu miss from what I know
of the situation here, that there were not a dozen
Oordon supporters among them. Bartow county
can be put down with perfect safety in nr opin
ion, as a Bacon county. If tho selection of dele
gates te had by primary election iqstead of mass
meeting, so mnch tbs deeper will Gordon be buried
under defeat so far as this county U concerned.
The larger the vote the greater the defeat for Gor-
