To the People of Georgia:
Fellow Citizens:—It will be re
membered that in February last I an
nounced myself tbrongh the press as an
Independent Democratic candidate for
Governor of this State at the eleotion
to be held on Wednesday, the 4tb day
of October next, and promised at the
proper time to give to the people an
expression of my views and opinions
npon all questions affecting what
understand to be their interests. In
this communication I fulfill that prom
ise.
Ours is a government of the peO'
pie, with full and complete power
vested in them to select freely and
voluntarily their own servants and
agents, to mliuinister their govern
ment for their benefit and advantage
alone; and it is the right of the peo
ple to claim the services of any quali
fied citizen without the diotation of
caucuses or political manipulators.—
We have high authority for saying
that a public man onght not to refuse
the call of bis people, and may not a
private citizen be bound by the same
obligation and exercise, without con'
sure, the same privilege? All offices
belong to the people, and it is their
unqualified right to have a voice and
a choice in selecting tbeir representa
tives. That proscriptive party spirit
and political animosities have con
tributed in the past to retard the
peace and good order of society and
crippled the material progress and
advancement of oar people, ore prop
ositions too plain for denial Shall
this state of affairs continue? Or
shall we, as one people and one na
tion, forgetting all past differences,
discarding all sectionalism, strive
from East to West, from North to
South, for a return of that fraternal
good feeling which will promote the
welfare, insure the happiness, advance
i he civilization and secure the perpet
uity of our representative system of
government? Good, efficient, im
partial, economical government is es
sential to a people’s prosperity, and
to secure these objects I uudrstaud to
be the purpose of independent think
ers and voters in the present canvass
in this State., How is it to be accom
plished ? I answer, by the people tak
ing the matter into their own hands,
nnd selecting—not by and through
canons dictation, or by the manage
ment of the few, bat at the ballot box
—competent and faithful men to ev
ery offioe within their gift, and those
who will devote their whole time and
best energies to the discharge of the
several dnties devolved npon them.—
These officers of every grade should
faithfully represent the people’s will,
fairly expressed, npon all subjects af
fecting the pnblio good. In the ap
proaching election many qneations in
which all the people are interested
will be settled, and great good or
great detriment to the body politic
will follow. Yon, my fellow citizens,
have the right to know mv views with
regard to all these matters of pnblio
concern, and I give them freely and
without hesitation.
I will not attempt to draw your at
tention from the true issues involved
in the present contest by a reiteration
of mere generalities, bat shall deal
candidly with the living pratical ques
tions relating to the rights and inter
ests of Georgia. What are these
qnestious and issues ?
THE BIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO SELECT
TBEIR OWN SERVANTS AND AOENT8.
When my name was presented to
craiic candidate for Governniuet, sev
eral months ago, I stated then, and
repent, that I realize and shall insist
npon the great right of the people to
select by a free ballot and fair coant
tbeir own servants and agents to ad
minister tbeir government for them
and for their benefit, witbont caucus
diotation or the application of the par
ty lash.
THE PEOPLE ENTITLED TO GOOD GOVERN
MENT.
If elected, it will be my earnest de
sire, by strict and unremitting atten
tion to the duties of this high and re
sponsible office, to see to it that the
laws are so administered as to advance
the prosperity, protect the rights and
promote the welfare of all the people
of oar beloved State. The people are
entitled to effioient, impartial and
good government. It is not only the
right, bat it is the dnty of all freemen
to demand it
EDUCATION.
To seonre good goverment, I be
lieve that every child should have the
opportunity of acquiring a common
English education in schools forever
made free by a liberal support from
the State government, and by the dis
tribution among the States of the pro
ceeds of the sales of the pnblio lands
for educational purposes.
That strict economy in all the de
partments of the State government
should be rigidly enforced
A reduction of the present burden
some rate of taxation.
Freedom and parity of the ballot
box in all elections, State and Fed
eral.
The protection of every citizon in
the enjoyment of his personal and po
litical rights under the constitution
and laws, with “exaot justice to all
men.
The prompt payment of all just and
legal debts due by the State, and the
careful protection of the credit, and all
property of the State, and especially
the Western and Atlantic railroad.
That the present system of leasing
the State convicts must be wiped from
our statutes, as a foul blot upon our
civilization and humanity.
A revision and ro-enactmeDt-of the
road laws which now oppress so many
of our peiople.
I maintain as correct the Jeffersoni
an principle of opposition to monop
olies of all kinds, and favor prompt
and vigorous opposition to every
measure or system which tends to con
centrate power or business in the
hands of a few privileged classes, at
the expense of the many.
The Internal Revenue laws, which
bear in many instances so oppressive
ly upon so many of our people, should
be promptly modified, revised or re
pealed as soon as the pnblio necessi
ties will admit
I have given yon in this address
briefly and candidly my opinions up
on the material questions or issues
affecting the public weal, and now,
in conclusion, I earnestly desire that
the canvass may be conducted with
as little excitement as possible, free
from all detraction and abase. An
intelligent people can oertainly dis
cuss questions ofpnblio concern with-
ovt descending to crimination and re
crimination. For my eminent and
distinguished competitor I have ever
entertained the highest personal es
teem, and no word shall escape my
lips calculated in the remotest degree
to detract from bis name and fame.
The people are familiar with his rec-
4 Sea Captain’s lleveuxe.
It bits often been said that there is
no despotism in the world equal to
that exercised by tbe captain of a ves
sel when ut sea. This, of course, does
not apply to yachts, for those are not
registered vessels, bnt sail under a li
cense, and tbe captain of such a craft
oonld be discharged by tbe owner
when in mid-ocean, if, for any reason,
tbe owner found fault with bis man
Bnt with merohant vessels
when once ont of port tbe authority
of the captain is, by the laws of every
nation, supreme. It is necessary that
this shonld be so. A ship, when at
sea, represents a number of different
interests: Those who own the vessel,
those who own the cargo, those that
insure the boll and its contents, and
then last, bnt not .least, ore the lives
of the crew and possibly passengers.
There mast be a responsible directing
head, armed with the legal power to
enforce any order he may think nec
essary for the protection of these dif
ferent interests, and this authority
could be lodged nowhere but with the
captain. His judgment may be at
fault, bnt if, at tbe end of a voyage,
he can make oath, that he considered
what he did to be necessary for the
interests intrusted to his keeping, it
is almost impossible to panish him
for his mistakes. An example of this
arbitrary power was given some years
ago by the captain of a merohant ves
sel sailing from one of onr Atlantio
ports. The ship was bound on a voy
age to the west coast of South Amer
ica, and her owner invited one or two
of his friends to go down* the bay in
her and return on the pilot boa^—
When outside tbe weather became
somewhat threatening and the pilot
boat was not immediately on hand.—
The captain had long oherisbed a
grudge against tbe owner and saw in
tbe situation an opportunity of re-
vengiug himself. In spite of com
mands and then of appeals made for
the owner, bis friends and the pilot,
be put his vessel upon her coarse and
sailed ont to sea. His involuntary
passengers, were, of coarse, in a
wretched statu of mind, coming, os
they did, wholly unprepared for a voy
age around Cape Horn, and well aware
that tbeir relatives and friends would
have doubts as to tbeir existence.—
This led tbe owner to resort to meth
ods which led tbe captain to constrne
to be mutinous, and hence he had the
former placed in confinement, while
tbe entire party, with the exception
of the pilot, were treated very mach
as if they had been common sailors,
so far as their food supply was con
cerned. When the ship arrived at her
port of destination the captain was
instantly dismissed; bnt that was ail
tbe punishment that coaid be visited
upon him.
uf vwC
ord and mine, and invokiug a calm
and dispassionate judgment npon
principle, and not on partisan prejn-
dice—with a free ballot and fair count
—I confidently await the result.
Your obedient servant,
Lucius J. Gartbell.

A manual on church etiquette would

In an English industrial school con
taining about six hundred children,
half girls and half boys, it became
convenient to give tbe girls about
eighteen hoars of book instruction
per week and eighteen hoars of work,
while the boys remsined st fall school
time of thirty-six hoars per week. On
examination day it was found that the
girls were more alert mentally and
practically in advance of the boys.—
When work was found for the boys
and tbeir school hoars reduced from
thirty-six to eighteen, they did as well
as the girls. While too much work
and two little play makes Jack a dull
boy, it seems pretty evident that a
portion of children’s time can be em
ployed in industrial work to their ad
vantage. Perhaps it would be well
to divide their waking hoars, one-third
to work, one-third to study and one-
third to play.

"There are many things that pass
current under the general imme of
"religion," which are not taught in
the word of God. Zeal for tbeLord’s
house is sometimes substituted by zeal
for a secj or party. The shibboleths
of a faction are often declared to be
the commandments of God.”
The above extract from an exchange
is too truthful to lose. It would be
well for us to ask ourselves t he question,
are we laboring to bring people to
Christ, or simply to make them mem
bers of tbe church to which we be
long? Do we strive to make them
Christians or to get them into the
fashionable” church ? Ask your con
science which.
"An infidel on bis death bed felt
himself adrift in the terrible surges of
doubt and uncertainty. Some of bis
Mends urged him to tbe end. ‘I have
no objection to holding on,’ was the
poor’man’s answer, 'bat’ will you tell
me what I am to hold on by ?’ There
is tbe fatal want. Infidelity fornishea
neither anchor nor rope to tbe sinking
soul. It gives nothing to hold on by.
It is an easy thing to hold to onr
infidelity and indifference to God
when we are in healt and prosperity,
bnt is awfnl to think of stepping ont
into the great beyond with “no solid
ground to net npon.”
