Georgia. jan»iy | the people ns an Independent Demo- 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. Atlanta, Ang. 12,1882. OUR HIGHEST GOOD. m>« matter for thli column will be mrnlilied weekly by Bar. W. F. Lloyd, paator or tbo Metho- dlat church of tbtl city.—Xu.) Odd moments are gold dust. Aeareless watch invites the vigi lant foe. Good breeding is a letter of credit all the world over. He wbo refuses to take responsibil ity npon himself assumes the greatest responsibility of all. A manual on church etiquette would not likely sell well, bnt such a treatise could be profitably studied by some 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. He who would be a great soul in fu ture must be a great one now. Every thought, every word, every Hot helps to mould character and determine destiny.’’ i "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.” Tbe following table presents the jropoi tiou .tp population of liquor sa- ooiih in thothirty-eightUnited Stastes: 1.
