Special rn»p»lrh to the Telegraph.
Wabhihoton, May 25.—1 prominent
South Carolinian nay* Gordon deserve. no
special thanks for the so-called Having of
Sonth Carolina. Ho made a great blaster,
boasted of tho money behind him, and
when the State's vote conld have been bad
for *1,000, Gordon did not have a cent.
This same gentleman says that in the pres
ent cot.teat the upright public aentiment of
the commonwealth should support Bacon
to give Georgia.
Congressman Reese professes confidence
in his renominatioa, although Carlton's ap
pearance in the field complicates matters,
It is generally conceded that the Senate
will not abolish its secret sessions.
The Assistant Secretary of State informed
Minister Henry R. Jackson that his dis
patches were the clearest, most concise
and intelligent of any that he hod seen in
his long experience in handling diplomatic
correspondence.
It is reported, and generally believed this
morning, that there will be no discussion of
tho tariff bill this session.
Mr. ltondall is quoted as saying that ad
journment will take place early in July, and
that the tariff bill will consume nono of
the intervening time.
The President, it is asserted, desires an
adjournment of Congress as soon as possi.
ble, yet a large number of the tariff re
formers, including the speaker, are credited
with urging Mr. Murrinuu to insist upon
consideration of his bill. A few Republi
cans will probably vote to consider the bill,
but will vote against it when the qnes'.nn
of its passage is reached. Gen. Brown, of
Indiana, a prominent Republican member
of the Committee on Ways and Means, yes
terday expressed the opinion that no effort
would be made to pet the tariff before the
House at this session.
The long-eared fools of the Grand Army
of the Republic, who are mad with Cap
tain Saunders for toasting Jeff Davis, aro
refer.ed by that gentleman to the Sermon
ontlieJMonnt. A correspondent of the New
York Sun says it had a business aspect ,aa
Saundeis had sold 200 case* of champagne
to the Chatham Artillery committee, and
conld afford to drink Mr Davis's health in
his own wine ao liberally disposed of.
Ingalls' spiteful and ferocious attack upon
'General Black was handsomely repelled by
Cockrell and Voorheea. The Kansas Sena
tor was a bomb proof warrior when General
Black was a hero in the field.
The attempt to tax oleomargarine Is an
infamy. A Georgia representative says,
■'This measure shows how the labor ques
tion has'demoralized legislation.”
I never have known a Congress as cow
ardly as this. Ralph.
ANOTHER FRAUD.
The Tactics of Gordon and IDs Friends for
Another Canard.
Aranrri, May 25.—Tho fact that General
Gordon has been (Ustribnting circulars in
Northeast Georgia, announcing his inten
tion to address tho people of that section
on the gubernatorial question, and stating
that Major Bacon has been invited to divi- e
time with him, became known in Augusta
to-night, and has aroused righteous indig
nation and made Bacon material of Gordon
MStythadozen. Itiathought to been,
tiroly unfair that General Gordon should
will always find the Bacon men, like Bacon,
ready and willing t> treat everybody fairly
and kindly, was as clearly shown hero to
day As could be.
Ex-Governor Janies M. Smith sent out
circulars that he would speak here to-day.
We all knew he was canvassing for Mr.
Gordon, but for all that his communica
tions were all with and his circulars sent to
Dr. R. II. Jenkins, a strong anti Gordon
man, and our honorable mayor, J. F. Mob
ley, and Colonel Isaac Jackson, both strong
Bacon men, managed the meeting, and in
troduced him to the crowd.
Gov. Smith spoke vehemently against
railroad monopolies snd highly in favor of
the Railroad Commission. The only charge
that he could allege agoiDst that true anil
honorable man, A O. Bacon, was that be
was employed aa counsel by the East Ten
nessee railroad, and abont all he did say
why Gordon should be Governor, was that
he made a good and a brave soldier, which
nobody denies.
Our young and worthy friend, W. A.
Post of Grantville, waa hero on legal busi-
neBs.and the calls for Post at the conclusion
of Governor Smith's speech, from tho peo
ple, were so lond and strong he could not
resist. He mounted the stage and won n
complete victory for Bacon. The name of
Bacon brought forth from the crowd cheer
after cheer. Tell Mr. Bacon that Troup
county will not forget him. We have just
received a letter from Hon. W. H. Daniel of
Franklin, Heard county, who represents
his district in the Scnute whenever it is
Heard’s time under the rotation law, and he
says his county is strong for llacon; says
there can bo only two Gordon men found
there. The old, the middle aged and the
young want Bacon, and we most have him.
A Gennlne Chestnut.
Fobsyth, May 25.—Now, 1 might have
written ail I needed to on the other sheet,
but that as an old soldier—one who was
mustered into service in 1861, in tho Third
Georgia Volunteers, and never was mus
tered out—that all this talk about hearing
ballets whistle, facing death, etc , has be
come with the old soldier element, so far as
I can lesm their sentiments, very much of
n "chestnut," so far as entitling any man to
be made Governor, Congressman, etc , .to.,
by reason thereof. I make no application
to any man in particular, but stand on it ns
a gem ral principle.
I want to say farther, that this Gordon
boom is the worst overrated thing in this
whole country; it is to a large, very large
extent based on the whoop and hurrah of
the clique that brought him out and that
expect to utilize him if eleoted.
His campagn so for has been prin
cipally the most puerile sort of gm-h.
Now, I don't mean to be understood that
there is any such thing as real manly gush,
yet I think there ia »aorl of untidy way of
gushing sometimes; and this self-glorified,
self-glorifying candidate fails to come up
to it. Jast tnink of it, a candidate for Gov
ernor of the groat State of Georgia basing
his claims to the office npon little charities
bestowed in private and parading tho mat
ter before the people himself!
I say myself that he was a fine soldier,
bat I deny that he acquitted himself in a
manner to bo entitled to any more honor
than tens of thousands of private soldiers
whose services aro now entirely ignored.
We used to con-ider that the question of
whether a public servant bad done his duty
was to be determined by the people from
his acts, not npon his egotistical assertion
of the fact
section than ever before. There is a small
Gordon faction in tho county, but the pop
ular sentiment is in favor of Major Bacon.
You can pnt Twiggs down for Bacon.
Ty-Ty and Vlclultr for Major Bacon.
Tt-T», May 24.—I have conversed during
the past few days with several of our peo
ple anil find all in favor of Bacon for Gov ■
•ernor. All will admit that Gordon is an
able General, but when it comes to that
Senatorial bargain, together with hia other
political jobs, they cannot nor will not sup
port him in it. Major Bacon is the choice
of a large majority of tho voters of this
section.
Haralson County In a r.tne.
Buchanan, Ga., May 22—Haralson conn-
ty will select delegates on tho first Tuesday
ir June, to tho Gubernntional and Con
gressional conventions. Haralson county is
nearly solid for Hon. A O. llacon. The
Seventh (Congressional District will go for
Bacon with the exception of n few counties.
The old soldiers of this part of Georgia say
tho war is over, we need a Governor, not a
general.
Bacon's Prospects In Upson.
Watnmanvu,lb, May 24.—All the influen
tial men in this neighborhood that I have
seen and heard from are for Bacon. I met
a young lawyer yesterday from Thom-
aaton who ia for Gordon, but saya Thomas-
ton is for Bacon. In my opinion wo will
send Bacon delegates to the convention,
and I think wo will do it upon General
Gordon's plan, by primary election.
Bacon Gaining Strength.
A special dispatch from Athena to the
TttutuuAi'H says: “A yonng politician resi
dent in Athens, noted for his political
sagacity and truth, says Bacon Is daily
gaming additional strength in Clarke and
adjacent counties, and that it Is not true,
as reported, that if another convention was
held hero Gordon delegate* would be ap-
poiu ed.”

We particularly desire that the press of

takable fact that General John B. Gordon
is the candidate of a ring of politicians that
have Atlanta for their headquarters, and
to elect him is to perpetuate the political
power of the State in the keeping of a few
men. This band of politicians, after beat
ing every bush in Geergia fora candidate to
defeat Major Bacon, at last appealed to
General Gordon to come to their res

ECHOES OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Some Very, Very Hard (JnMtlnna for the
"Spontaneous Combustion" Candidate.
Attanta, May 25.—Gen. Gordon in
Bpatla kind ho was in favor of the rail
road commission, and opposed to pools
and monopolies.
Does he deny that he ia n bosom friend
of, and ia his race ia getting the support of
t Joseph E. Brown, president of the Western
& Atlantic railroad, that ia now seeking to
I • enjoin the rnilroed commission from Inter-
' ferirg with the pooling system as run by
IK nilroad monopolies'.
Does ho deny that be did forsake the
people of Georgia and resign bis aeat in
E the United Slates Senate to take tho attor-
. nooship of the Louiavillo A Nashville roil-
8 road (a foreign corporation that at the time
m vrWiryiDgto gobble the Western A Atlantic,

B railroads in Gordon's native State) ?

& of the Louisville A Nashville railroad) but
ft was afterwards sold to the Richmond A
’ » Danville Air Line syndicate (another for-
kg eign monopoly desiring to grind the desired
, supporter" of Gen. Gordon)?
Why did Gov. Colquitt ao hastily appoint
E 1 Joe. Brown toancoeed Gordon in the Sen
ate, and bow did Colqnitt become one ot
B the stockholders in the Georgia Western,
now the Georgia Paeifie?
Did his tax returns show him to be a
U millionaire?
Was that railroad paid for in shoulder
straps?
Did the General's partner, Colquitt, go
)■: back on Gordon in the appointment of Joe
Brown to succeed him, and if they were
i friends (Gordon and Brownl, why did Gen
eral Gordon os friend or attorney of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad allow that
railroad monopoly to slip in and boy Joe
, v, Brown's railroad, the Western anil Atlantic,
while Joe was busy arranging his business
for a trip to Washington aa Sena tot?

I Have not thousands of privates run (or

Popular Sentiment.
JxmcnaoxTiLLX, May 25. —Tho very able
manner in which the TELEnnAra is con
ducting the campaign in favor of Major
Bacon, elicits the unqualified admiration of
all fair-minded men. Both >be T*i.eobu*u
■ and Major Bacon are more popular in this
the intention of attracting public attention
from tho real uud living issues, viz: Which
candidate is best qualified to manage the
intricate affairs of our State government?
and will the people of Georgia continue
upon ttu ir necks the political yoke there
placed by a ring of politician* iu Atlanta ?
From tha AugtmU Chronicle.
It is very evident that at this stage of the
campaign that Gen. Gordon cannot climb
into tho Govemorahip of Georgia by the
skirts of 8< nator Joseph E. Brown. Col.
Avery, who was Gov. Colquitt's secretary
and who says he kne w all the facta, declares
that Ueu. Gordon was opposed to the ap
pointment of Senator Brown. There is a
strong effort, however, on the part of
Gen. Gordon's friends to array Sena
tor Brown's friends against Major Ba
con’s friends. Senator Brown baa wisely
declared that this is not hia fight
Ho bo* too much good sense to
make n gratuitous rally to save a forlorn
hope. Senator Brown is a man who, bow
er much ho may have been opposed when
ha entered the United States Senate, baa
]>roved himself to be vigilant, earnest, prac
tical and progressiva in his duties, lie has
never lost uu opportunity to work for bis
State or people. He has proven a sound
and a sagacious leader, ne has loaned him-
self to no visionary schemes and relies
upon no illusory fame. He is a man of
bnsinesa sense and judgment and is not
so much concerned in the spontaneous
eruption of this political Altna in Georgia
as some other people in und around Atlanta.
From the Lincolnian Mews.
We honor the scars he (Gordon) bears,
received in defenso of bis country, and
would not mar the chaplet npon his brow,
but we have other men of equal business
rapacity, as devoted patriots, and who also
bear marks of conflict in defeuse of the
country and whom we have never honored
aa their merits deserve, that we think de
serve recognition at onr hands, and Augus
tus O. Bacon is the man we want at this
time, and we had fain hoped to have made
him Governor without contention. Oh,
Atluitu! insatiate Atlanta, will not two Sen
ators and one Congressman suffice?
AN OLD SOLDIER 8 VIEWS.
Editor Tklkgbapii: The following extract from
aa editorial in a recent issue of the LaQrange Re
porter. ho nearly expreMee my own idea* that I re-
epecfully auk that you give place to it in the col-
umm of your widely-circulated paper. The tenor
of the article ahows it waa written without paiudon
or prejudice, and addreaaed entirely to the judg
ment of the reader. Your correspondent, unlike
Ourdon. waa not a general; like Gordon,
he waa a aoldier, and did hia duty,
in the camp, on the inarch and on the field. He
entered the Confederate aervlce in obedience to
conviction* of duty, and let the government fix the
salary for hia aervlce. When the cause collapsed
all accounts were balanced, and neither hia Htate
nor hia comrades owe him an j thing on the acore of
having been a aoldier. It would be an inalnuatlon
of superior merit and an insult to others who wore
the grey, should he lay claim to honors ou the
Hcore of superior service or gallantry. If any
thing ia really due General Gordon on that
score he should present hia bill to the State of Ala
bama, for he first enteted her service. Georgia, It
appears to this writer, haa honored him sufficiently
to repay everything due by the Confe Jerate govern
ment The General is miserly in this matter. He
should ctano to levy and collect tithes for labor
performed and payed for a dozen years ago, and if
there is an existing balance in his favor he should
iihare the loss with the real of the boya. The con
tinually purchaeiug bin bills under the nosea of hia
cunatitutenU la sufficient cauae to impeach hit
patriotism. But to the article. In speaking of the
cand'dates, the Reporter aaja:
'•Rut we will not allow our enthusiasm for the
soldier to bear ua away from the moorings of a
sound common aenaeand acalm political judgment.
Georgia ha* met every obligation and aatisfied
every debt it owed the brave commander. 8he had
no higher gift than the Sonatorahlp, and abe lifted
him iuto that exalted aeat over the beada of aome
of her most loved statesmen. Twice he wan thus
honored, and thrice or a dozen times be would have
received it bad he so willed. But while yet the
Idol of hia people, he Ignored the grand trust com
mitted to him, and hia resignation was the signal
fora yawning division in the rank* oft he party,
and a fierce, bitter fight for vindication. Thua Gen
eral Gordon plunged the State into a turmoil, from
which It has not yet recovered, and the memories of
which atill linger. For several years the Oeneral
has beeu absent from the State, taking no part lu
its affairs but promoting his own personal schemes.
He Iim been separated from hia people who, lu the
very na ure of things could not be expected to re
call him for an emergency which doee not exist.
Wbero Is the necessity of his candidacy? What
living t-Mie does be represent? What more than
memories of battle-fields and servlcoa for the Con
federacy already grandly rewarded? *We can do
nothing against Gen. Gordon.' Nor we, w
Ceneral'a personal interest concides with
vlctiona of duty and the welfare offthe people of
Georgia. This whole thing lacks upontaueity. It has
the air of artificiality, of being forced, of b*ing an
afterthought Publio sentiment hail crystalized
around Major Bacon. He was accented as the com
ing man for Governor. He had just mUaed the
nomination when Governor McDaniel received it,
and many then felt that the wishes ot the
people had been crossed. A sense of Justice to a
brave, strong, pure man. who, for years, held the
doHtiuiee of Georgia in his hand, as Speaker ot th»
House, and whose influence upon leglslition was
for the betterment of every Interest of the 8t ite
and Its rehabilitation after the undoing of teoou-
struction, prompts the writer, with many other
members of the press, to advocate the claims of
Major Bacon at this Juncture. Tills
position was assumed long before Gen
eral Gordon was even mentioned as a
probability of the canvass, and we see no reason to
take the ba- k track, now that he haa announced him
self. Major Barn’s record la a splendid one and his
political soundness cannot be questioned, lu dig*
uity of character, lu loftineae of atm and in devo
tion to the Htate, be is not excelled by bis chival
rous oppooent. The men who stood in their placet
sod laboriously, bravely and skillfully steered the
ship out of the shoals of radicalism into calm, deep
waters of prosperity and peace, we submit, are en
titled to recognition and reward no lean than those
who led tho State’s 1* gion is buttle. Tosco bath
her victories no le*a renowned than war.' Major
Bacon's victories have been those of statesmanship,
and they were as dearly bought aa tho triumphs
upon the tented field." Old Soldikr.

Major Van. a few days after, and he said to me.
“Gordon is after my sa'd’e and bridle." An order
bad been sent to Major Van. to turn over all rap

Wakiiihoton, Oa ,May 24.—The Democratic ex
ecutive committee of Wilkes have called amass
meeting of the people on the first Tuesday In Jane,
to take into consideration the timo aud manner of
selecting delegates to represent t‘ e county la the
coming gubernatorial and Congressional conven
tions, and the mode and time of selecting repre
sentatives to the Legislature. No political excite
ment. Bacon aol.d,
THE BOOM SUBSIDED.
Cedau Gbovf, May 21.—I have pnt myself to a
great deal of trouble to find out what would be the
l«aue of the John B. Gordon boom. I have been iu
Cbattooaa, Catoosa, and Dade, bo far as I can see
at this time, the boom has subsided into a ml-er-
atle farce. Ring politicians are making some
furs for Gordon, but them is no danger. Bacon s
friends are alert and will foil all efforts. North
western Georgia la almost solid for him.

THE KIND OF MAN WANTED.
IIksaca, May 22.—Bacon will get a good vote In
this section. Geueral Gordon made a good aoldier,
do not believe ba possesses. We want a man at
the helm that will stand firm for the right in the
face of all opposition. In other words, we want a
man of principle that money can’t ouy.
BACON ALL THE TIME.
Vokroe, May 22.—My neighbors and myself
stand this wav on the question of candidates for
Governor. There are thirteen voters in my imme
diate neighborhood, and twelvo of them are for .M r.
Bacon, nrst, last and all the time. The other two
have not heard him express h mself.

TUB OUTLOOK GENERALLY.
JA&rxn, May 22.—There is no excitement here,
and thcro will be no trouble about Bacon carrying
this county. I don’t think there will be an oppo
sition ticket. Fannin will also go for Bacon. Daw
son, 1 am confident, is for Bacon by a good major
ity. The fight in Forsyth county is already whipped,
while Milton will join the Bacon ranks.
GAINING STRENGTH EVERY DAY.
Jr.rrr.uMiNMLLv., May 22 — Baron la gaining
strength in Twiggs every day. I have seen quite a
number of citizens recently aud all are all right.
Here In town several have changed within the past
few days. Gordon will find there are a tow of ua
left.
A IJOUT FLASH.
Alpharetta. May 22.—The Gordon lUsh was very
light here. In Marietta the leading citizens, who
have not forgotten, and will tot forget how Gordon
got out of the Senate, are enthusiastic for Bacon.
STICK A PIN HERE, BROTHER HORACE.
CooxsviLi.K, Msy 22.—I am almost certain that
Heard cotiuty will eeud up Bacon delegates. Don’t
know but a very few Gordon tuen. You can put
Heard down for Bacon.
NO RIPPLES,
Kt.rr.nTo*. May 22.—Things are moving along
smoothly in Elbert You need have no fear about
our people this time. I am quite sure Libert will
go largely for Bacon.
LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON.
Buchanan, May 22.—General Gordon haa some
friends here, but there is yet no sufficient cause to
loose sleep for Haralson. Go on and snow him
under.
DO NOT NEED DRILLING IN TACTICS.
Pates. Hall County, May 22.—The people do not

If tw<>-»rm*d men in Angn.U hivl mule «
an attempt to Ret npon tho atage, aveanng
that they would kill General Gordon, that
he shonld not apeak, the Atlanta Conatitn-
lion would then, indeed, have aomothing of
an "ontrago” to apeak cf. But this thing
did really ocenr in Eatonton, bnt it wan a
couple of Gordon men after Major Bacon.
Yet the Conatitntion, with all lta boaated
"fairneaa,” fails to call attention to it. The
Bacon men care nothing abont it, and do
nat desire to manufacture capital from the
circumstance.
From the Atmutn Chronicle.
The Constitution will never lose anything
by not claiming the whole Htate by counties
for General Gordon. Recent events force
them to accept Bibb, but it now declare*
that the General would carry Richmond by
primary election. The Chronicla hazard*
nothing in saying that Richmond ia abao
lutely solid for Baeon whethet its voice be
•poktn by a mass meeting or a primary
election.
From th* An,u.ta Chronicla.
The First, Hixth, Eighth and Tenth Con
gressional districts are practically aolid for
klaj. Bacon; iu the Seventh and Ninth he
wiUhold hia own with General Gordon, the
latter more than offsetting the form-r. We
•ay nothing at present of the other district,
in the Htate lest we might be considered as
rivaling our fertile friends of the Constitu
tion in their favorite games of brag anil
