Editor Borne Journal-•—
The ipse dixit of
Dear Boys:—You will be men very
soon, and the world will be yours.—
Yours to manage, and serve, and be-
ex-Judge Hiram Warner has gone forth, qneath. It' is important to yourselves
and we smaller fry are expected to ac
cept his fiat as-lho “Law and the Gos
pel;-”—in fact the tone of t ie command
few words of comment. For the office leaves ns with but one course to pur
sue, and that is to bow in submissive
obedience to Ihs august will. He has
condescended to do our thinking for us,,
and lie is not tbs man to be satisfied
with anything in return.but explicit obe
dience to his royal behests. Y/ell, “are
we-American freemen, or arewre slaves?”
That’s the question, and it occurs to
us as ah opportune one at this, critical
juncture. If we are slaves, the head
lines of the speech of Mr. Warner,
“The Law and the Gospel,” are appro
priate; if we still breath the air of free
dom, then they are not appropriate.
Mr. Warner is now a private citizen,
and we respectfully take issue with the
distinguished manager of the- minority
boom as to his right to lay down forVis
the “Law and the Gospel” in political
or any other matters. We don’t cave a
fig if he was born in Northeast Yankce-
dom and has been an office holder in
Georgia thirty five years, making the
snug sum of a hundred thousand dol
lars in the business. We claim the
right as free born citizens to tliiuk and
net for ourselves, and while we
of governor all men know there are two
candidates, neither of whom is, oris
claimed to be,-the nominee of the dem
ocratic party. While onr personal pref
erence is strong, we do not propose
to give here an - reasons why we pro
pose to vote, in accordance with the
dictates of our judgment and feelings,
for Hon- T. M. Norwood. Wo accord
to all men honesty of. purpose in this
matter, and are perfectly villing for
them to vote is they please, without
any word from ns. file shite, .we think,
will bo perfectly safe with either Col
quitt or.Norwood as her next governor,
There is no republican candidate for
this office.
For state house officers, the democrat-
b’ate convention ’nominated the follow
ing gentltman ns our candidahs: For
Comptroller-Genernl, Wm. A. Wright:
Treasurer. D. N. Speer; Attorney Gen
eral,'GlifTojd Anderson; Secretary of
State,N. C. Barnett^ A11, these are gen
tlemen worthy afld able to fill the offi
ces for which they are candidates to the
best interests of the state. The republi
can party has 110 candidates for either
of these positions, ami there is no op
ponent at nil to any of tlic.m except to
Mr. Speer, for the office of Treasurur.
We have nocloubr that the entire ticket
will be triumphantly elected.- but we
knew that .Mr. Reufroe, the present
State Treasurer, and an independent
candidate for re election, is making
strenuous < Sorts to defeat Mr. Speer.
So far as Houston eouuly is concern
ed, we do not think Mr. Renfro has a
following equal to a .corporal’s guard,
but.we know that he is a man of pleas
ing address and insinuating^ manners,
"and with those possessing independent
proclivities in politics he will get a vote
very respectable as to numbers. That
in Georgia there is au overwhelming
democratic majority of voters there is
no shadow of doubt, and all these are
virtually bound to support the nomi
nees of the party, regardless of whether
they favor Colquitt or Norwood for
governor. Mr.£Speer is placed before
the people £iv their sr|irage by the
unanimous TOie of. the lute state demo
cratic convention,and he has the unquali
fied endef ement of the best citizens of
his county (see article on first page of
this issue,) and of all .who know him
personally. He is a man of a high de
gree of intelligence, business ability and
integrity. He? is woithy of onr sup
port, oral we should render it freely
and fully.' Mr. Reufroe, the iirdepecd'
ent candidate for treasurer, refused
to allow his name, to go before the late
convention, and his candidacy is bereft
of any shad nv of claim upon Ike vote
of any.democrat in Georgia. lie thus
places himself before the people in the
attitude of a-candidate in direct, oppo
sition to the wishes of the democratic
party, expressed by delegates from ev
ery county in the slate assembled in
convention. Besides, lie stands to day
clothed in cfficial robes smirched by an
acknowledged charge of malfeasance in
office. His '-rial by the legislature for
taking to hi nisei I about '$22,000 in in
terest on the lnonay of the state, is
fresh in the''minds of the people, as is
the fac* that he acku.ov.ledged wrong
doing by t tiering to pay the money into
the treasury if the ; losccutiou should
cease, 'llie li gislature very properly re
fused to compromise official, fraud and
Mr. Renfroo escaped conviction merely
concede to Mr. Warner the right to that in evii tim8S - w hen vice pre-
that should you enter upon responsible
life with clear heads aud sound princi
ples. You should be careful to acquaint
yourselves’’ with tru*h. and you should
standby the truth manlutly in all cir
cumstances. Thisis the highest heroism.
This is the only true manhood. Truth
wilt never mislead yon, nor betray you.
Trnth is immortal, and whatever things
array themselves against it for a time,
will be overthrown and destroyed.—
Nevertheless there are many men in the
world at this time, who strive persis-
t cd tty .to subvert the frnth. They are
industriously preparing for you a heri
tage of lie3. They are willing that the
world shall go to yon from their hands,
‘‘dowered with a curse.”
Men of influence in church and state
are propagators of pernicious error. In
deed it seems that very prominent men,
members of three strong chnrches,havc
ccmbined together to hoodwink the
whole sectarian element in all of them,
for mercenary purposes of their own.—
It would be difficult certainly to prove
this clearly, or to disprove it at all, but
appearances are strongly concurrent
ag iinst them. These men and their ad
herents would teach yon falsely that,
sometimes, error is bette.v thau trnth,

“speak a speech” whenever, wherever
and upon whatever he chooses, consist
ent with the proprieties of the occasion,
still we do demur to his or anybody
elects thrusting that speech in onr face uarm tQ tWQ
accompanied by the declaration that it j j- or& jt s .q ua [
is the ‘’Law and Gospel” for our guid
ance. We do claim the right, when
such a thing is done, to pause, take
breath and inquire “Upon what meat
doth this, our Ciczar feed, that he hath
grown so great?” &c.
Big in al! seriousness, the friends of
Judge Warner’s earlier days have been
sadly disappointed iu his late career.
Twelve years ago he accepted the ap
pointment of Supreme Judge from Ru
fus B. Bullock. His earlier decisions
gave good promis 0, but in later years
his opinions in the Supreme Court re
ports became so verbose, so tedious, as
to make them an eye sore to the bench
and bar of Georgia. Eight years ago,
crossed in political aspirations, lie so
far forgot himself as to use, iu a dis
senting opinion, language towards his
associates upon the bench, that has
vails and impious men bear sway” a
corrupt man ie a better statesman than
a pure man. This infamous doctrine
shall pass away, but it will work serious
harm to two generations or more, be-
j fore its final ®ertbrow. This, doctrine
does no.t come from the Bible, and is
not supported by history, or tradition,
or reason. Governments have invaria
bly grown worse as corrupt men have
multiplied; ayd yet the Governor of
Georgia would have yon to believe that
the incarnation-of shrewdness, treache
ry, and venality is fittest of all men for
tbe highest place. Tliisls essential in
fidelity. Let the test be applied.
A tree shall be known by its fruit,and
there is iu Georgia a certain tree who: c
fruits are Joseph E.- Brown and W.A.
Hawkins. These may be likened to
“api- Ls of Sodom, 5
‘•Deed sea fruits that tempt the eye
But turn to ashes on the lips.”
Please request tbe supporters of J.
E Brown to cite a passage of the world’s
history which will show that a corrup
tionist ever benefitted his country—ex
been a blolch upon the records of our j c j»pj| - 0 _y living. Corruption is wholly sel-
liighest court— la.ngi:age more becom
ing to the street bully than tbe high of
feree ie held. Those who have watched
him from that Rime on, have not been
so much surprised by hislecent course.
They were more mortified than sur-
prieted by his decision in the now cele
brated Alston case—a decision that was
absolutely unsupported by .precedent,
sound principle or law—a decision that
shocked the common sense of evey in
telligent and unbiased man iu the state
who read is —a decision inj which he
took advantage of iheupper!uni:;, to g >
cut side of the record and criticize the
Governor, a co-ordinate branch of the
government, and on the next day hoist
ing his own name as a rival candidate
for the iffice of governor. Taking ad
vantage of his judicial position to ful
minate a campaign dccumi in against
Gov. Colquitt, he then entered the race
against him. tThe result of that politi
cal venture has been seen. Securing
but eight delegates out of three hun
dred and fifty in the late state conven
rion.(his own comity giving him but two
out of four, Ihe other two being for
Gov*. Colquitt), while Gov. Colquitt
Imd two hundred iincPten delegates in
the same convention; these eight cele-
npou a technicality of law, yet he was.! gates for seven days kept Warner’s
guilty all the same. The case being pre- j n . llue before that^convention asking the
sented, we have no doubt that Mr. i jjonRiiation. But the nomination he
didn’t get. and that’s what’s the matter
-with Judge Warner. Again crossed in
lus pClrtical aspirations, his vanity
piqued, ut’eily unable to uiiderstund
how tire people of Georgia could have
so httlo_apprcciation of his transcendent
i.biiiiics as to refuse him the . Governor
ship when fce was willing to accept it,
he got mad—mad as a wet hen—flung
up his commission (that lacked but two
months of expiring) and took the stump
against Gov, Colquitt, whose only of
fense was, the people dared to perfer
him to Judge Warner. Web, tbegetter
he wrote soon "after his 'resignation
showed the mad fit was stiii on him,and
his speech give no symptoms of conva
lescence. .That speech, though, is a
lovely document. It embodies, though,
just about as much of law and logic as
one ooukl get oil whose whole stock in
trade was mad passion. Whenever :>
man undertakes 10 convince me that a
void debt is valid and binding as does
Judge Warner in that speech on the
Speer wilt be elected by a large majori
ty, along" with the ether democratic
nominees >n Geoi gia.
The residue of the ticket is made up
of state senators from the difiVrent sen
atorial districts, and represcnlafives
from every county iu the state. Though
there will be a few republicans elected
to the legislature, there is no shadow
of a-doubt but that both branches will
be overwhelmingly democratic.
We hope a full vote of the state will
be polled, foe the influence of a small
dem-cralic majority iu Georgia, ike
banner democratic state in the Union,
would have an ill influence upon tlie-
prisutehtial ( lection to occur on iiie
2nd day in Novenibori nex h . Give a
full vote ill the state (lection next
Wednesday,a full voic-amlgheavy majori
ty in November .and the election 01 Han
cock nod. English 'is assured beyond a
peiadventure.
If we take the majorities footed up-
for Colquitt by the Atlanta Crnis! tint ion,
and those for Norwood by the Atlanta
Post-Appeal, and to theselidd the esti
mated votes necessary to create said
majorities, the total vote of Georgia
would creep np somewhere in the
neighborhood of a million, yerily,
there are some good counters in Geor
gia.

As an eulogist of Joseph J). Brown
the Atlanta Constiiuion is peculiar.
During the Bulloch regime in Georgia,
this same •'Cons'ifu&'n . was exceedingly
bittef in its condcmnaiion of the per
sonal and poliricai corruption of this
same Joseph E. Brown. ‘'How times
and men do change.”.
The Atlanta Constitution prints an ex
tract from this paper in ihe general
heading “Frcm the Colquitt camp.” —
Right-here- we wish to inform
slilvlicm that we do not
Colquitt c;mr ; *
North Eastern bonds, then i. feel tempt
ed to loose my temper, and ask him if
betakes me for an educated, idiot.:—
When’Judge Warner says, as he does iu
that speech,- that he resigned to give
Gov. Colquitt achance to appoint a
“personal Judge,” I must say to him,
“you speak not the voice of truth, but
the voiee of passion. If not, than you
weie false to a sacred trust.” When
Judge Warner says as he does in that
speech, that Alston’s part of the money
btl-mged iu the State Treasury, he is in
conflict with the Snpreme CourfcRf the
United Slates, (10th Wajlace) -the Su
preme Court of Georgia, (IStb Ga ) all
law, authority, precedent and common
sense. But, if his speech gets no more
votes thanjiis race, it is well
