It is eaid that it now looks ne if the Republicans would win in Ten nessee. It is reported that the Sells Brothers’ circus will go into winter quarters in Chattanooga. The latest nows from last Wed nesday’s election —report all, but four or five of the counties heard from, and Colquitte majority as 53,539. O < » It is the funniest thing in the ■world to take that table of the Col umbus Enquirer-Sun, recently pub lished, giving Norwood exactly 17,*- 080 majority, and compare it with the actual returns. Try it. General Shorman has informed Adjutant General Drum that the Presidentia’ party will not return to Washington before the 7th of No vember. It will be no great mat ter if they don’t return until after Hancock’s inauguration. The tide is with our Judson, — North Georgia’s honored, fpvorite son. Let his friends everywhere work quietly and steadily for the next three weeks, ns they have for the past, and a glorious victory is assured on the 2nd of November, and don’t you forgot it. They must be having a lively time in Indiana, judging from the following extract from a specii 1 to the Louisville Courier-Journal: ‘Noth ir.g like the present politxal excite ment was ever known in Indiana. The State is actually turned into, as Godluve Orth would say, a politi cal lime-k’ln. In most portions of the Shite business is nearly entirely suspended, and business men have turned their attentions solely to pol itics. Iu many places in the State even the women have become so deeply interested politics that they are neglecting their household du ties, and doing ns much campaign ing as the men. In the northern part of the State the political ex citement is if anthing, greater than in the southern part.’ We are glad to know that Col. Clements will not accept Dr. Feltons invitation to attend bis day ap pointments; and Dr. Felton’s invi tation for him to do so, at this stage of the canvass, when Col. Clemente has appointments of his own, already announced, for the re mainder of the campaign, is superb ly ridiculous. If Dr. Felton is willing to treat Col. Clements fairly now —as he will insist that he is—ufter the pub lication of the above letter, instead of inviting him to his day nppoint *ments, right in that part of the dis ■trict, already canvassed by Col. pC'lements, why did he not propose Fa joint discussion for the balance of *hd allow Col. Clem to il* the ■ Isn’t If a Fact I There is one fact in connection witli this congressional campaign, that bus not been noticed hereto fore, that we think every man in the upper | art of the district at leant, ought to consider. We al lude to the fact that Bartow has nearly always been solid for a Bar tow man, This fact will in a future issue of this paper he fully estab lished from the official record. Barlow county has had the mem ber to Congress for about thirty years, and they have had it by vo ting nearly solid for a Bartow man. They vote for Dr. Fulton, not be cause it is Dr. Felton; not heenuse he is an independent and opposed to the organized; not on account of his record, though for the most part it he a good one ; hut solely for the reason that he is a Birtow man. Now in all fairness and candor, we appeal to the reasoning, thinking men of this and other adjacent counties, in the upper part of the district: Is this fair? is it right? If Bartow county is to have the member to Congress, and nil the honor and advantages to be derived from it forever, what is the use of holding an election for Congress man every two years ? why not elect Dr. Felton or some other Bar tow county man for life and he done with it? Walker county has never had the member to Congress since the county was organized, and now that the honor is o fie red her, we feel assured that to be true to hcr sell and her best interests she will come up solid on the 2nd of No vember for the Hon. J. C. Clem ents. Tuo Thin. Col. Clements at the opening of the canvass asked Dr. Felton to jointly discuss the issues of the campaign with him, but Dr. Felton flatly refused to do so, saying that he would not do s» then or any other time. This was at. LuFayette. Now the campaign has pro gressed favorably to Col. Clements, and on next Monday, tne 11th itist., he speaks in Cherokee county, and will stay in that county about n week, making several speeches. It is very important for him to can vass that comity, us his acquain tance is limited, and Dr. Felton j knowing how fust Clements malice ; friends, is anxious to keep him out of Cherokee. Therefore lie writes the following letter, which is pub lished in theCartereville Free, Frees: “Cartkrsville, Ga.. Oct. 4th, 1880.—Hon. J C. Clements. —Dear Sir : I am informed that you and your friends are complaining that i I declined a discu a sion with you at LuFayette and other places in the district. As I have no intention to give of- I fence in this matter, I cordially in vite you to all of my day appoint- j inents throughout the district, from j this time until the day of the elec- j tion. I will divide time equally I with you at these appointments, a | list of which you will see published in tiie Cartersville Free Frees of this week. Very respectfully, your obe dient servant, W. H Felton. He invites Col. Clements to his day appointments —day appoint ments, indeed—and that too right in the parts of tiie District over which Clements has just been, and where ho lives and knows nearly everybody—in Walker, Chattooga, Gordon and Floyd. He would call Clements ofl from the lower end of the District, where he is compara tively a stranger, hack to his own counties, and only to his day ap pointments at that. Why this limitation to the day appointments? In the elegant language of the clas sic Shnkespear, “this is too thin.” — Rome Courier. um * Frsd Tanner, late a colored citi zen of Douglusville, is a most de- j termined rogue. About a week ago he stole a buggy from his employer, i Mr. Baggett. He was arrested, and gave bond. On his appearance to answer the charge at court, Col. C. M. Smith going on his bond. As soon as he was at liberty he stole a pair of pants from Col. Smith, his bondsman, and made tracks for Cobb county. While there, he broke into the house of Mr. \V. C. Strickland, and stole a dollar and twenty-five cents and a small breastpin. He was arrested again, taken to Marrietta and placed in jail, where he now languishes. All this in one week. A negro man was run ovetby an up freight train on the Georgia j railroad at Social Circle, Saturday | night. Both legs and one arm were cut off and the injuries receiv ed resulted in death.

If so, he may carry his own county. — Cartersville Free Press. The above from the Free Press, Df. Felton’s mouth-piece, is a fair sample of the little underhanded flings they are dealing in. Now that we have a standard bearer whose record they cannot attack ; one who is everyway worthy and qualified for the position he seeks, they are endeavoring to defeat hfin by sneers and ridicule. newiTin general.
