Near Cahtebstille, Ga., Fcbuary 13tb.
Editors CnnsUlullon: HInre Governor Smith ha*
thought proper to go into print to denounce Geor
gia independents, making some unfounded inser
tions as well as some remarkable admissions, he
d -serves a little notice. Ashe singled me out for
special attack, 1 will give you my opinion of the as-
sanlt, andai the same time review his official record
in a few notable instances.
When I last heard of him, he was quite nn inde
pendent. Home influence has inspired a change—
no. doubt some very substantial reason, which will
bring forth substantial fruit in due season. In ven
tilating his opinions, he has relieved the independ
ents of the apprehension that he might become a
very heavy load for them to carry. It is remarka
ble with what unanimity these old moss-back
officeholders take alarm when they see any move
ment that might possibly remand them to private
lire.
I am only a plain citizen—do not draw a dollar
from either stale or federal government, yet I am
not allowed to express an opinion upon state af
fairs, nr point out what seems to me to be a better
way. without a storm of abuse from certain men
who are growing fat on official spoils. For two
months the state has resounded with oludi and tur
moil, growing out of their auxlciy to retain their
offices and the |iay. Now, wc have a "masked batte
ry’’ rolled out from the railroad commission. The
people of Georgia may well despair If some reform
cannot be had. She has a lot of official dead beats
to support, who having been warmed and fed from
her bounty, are ready to sting any man or party
that proposes to curb their greed or show them
their duty. Personal abuse of myself docs not
count with me so long as the opposition keeps with
in an authorized limit, or with anybody connected
with me. There is an independence and a freedom
in honest character that laughs all such vitupera
tion to scitrn. Lay on McDuff!
My politics has not made me rich, and I never
stuni|ied the state to denounce the men who gave
mo office. Governor Smith traveled the state two
yciusogo to hold up Governor Colquitt to public
ridicule as a living example of corruption and
official failure. He had received a good-paying
office from Governor Colquitt, and yet he never
relaxed his grip on the money while he made this
'iliuemtlng tour. Governor Colquitt thought he had
bought him olT, and Smith took the reward and
failed to deli-er the goods. Mr. Norwood would
have swept upper Georgia if James M. Smith had
been Vent at home. No man’s opposition ever did
h candidate no much good as did Smith's for Col
quitt.
Governor Smith lmd the appointing of fliicen
hundred men to office during an executive term of
four years. Like Bullock, lie “divided with hi
friends," but the sluie of Georgia, and the the ring
democracy did not give him it decent vote for the
l’lilted Stales senate, •* n retiring governor. The
admiiibtrnlioii so outgrew itself that the people
had to call ft cmiMituuonal convention to control
the waste of public money and to throw restrictions
around the executive, when the ex governor rises
on I Ip-toe to denounco "coalition,” or any other
species of political trickery—the argument is ex
hausted. As General Toombs would say "it fa
tigues the IndlguaUeg.” lie holds office now by
upisliniment, not by elcclii n.
1 know of no"coU-tion" except an honest up-,
rising of the independent people to remand the
control of their own affairs into the hands of tho
people, and to deliver Itvp stale from such adminis
trations as the olio Imposed upon the stale by James
M. smith for live long years, if republicans will
vote to help this honest expression of public will,
wc are glad to get their-votes. II Is a free country,
and the need of the hour is the liberty to vote, and
to get that vote counted. If that Is "coalition,’’
call it so. The mistake of tho democratic bourbon
leaders is the assumption of superiority that is not
warranted by the facts.
1 ho ballot Is not free, and the count Is gener
ally favorable to the party that manages the bal
lot box. When the time comes tho proof will be
WTlj, ; Anj'.tlUzen of Georgia who desires to
relieve die state frfniTTht domination of corrupt
tricksters, and to conduct the state house upon
correct business principles, is at liberty to vote
-with tho independents, and G»d helping tho right,
wc will endeavor to get that vote counted. It Is
I suggestive of a peculiar state «f affairs that wo
I find our two democratic governors uniting with
I ex-Govcrnor Bullock to preserve the bourbon rule.
J Does it mean that nobody but the knowing ones
5 can have an entrance to the hidden secrets of tho
> capital! if there is another politician in the stale
I more odorous In the republican party than Gov-
I emor Bullock, it is J. E. Bryant. The lntter is
Now I como to the cream of Governor Smith’s re
cent interview. Hear him:
“J am the author of tbe convict lease system and
I am proud of It!” *
It is said that the inventor oi the guillotine was
one of the men beheaded by It It really appears
as if the ex governor Is disposed to fee', the edge of
his own instrument on his Awn neck.
It lias nor Iscns week, Messrs. Editors, since you
denounced the system as a relic of republican mis
rule, fastened on an unwilling people by a republi
can legislature. J thought you were incorrect then.
Governor Hmlth has settled tbe question. What
have you to sav now about the authorship? I have
been arraigned in the public press for two months
because 1 did not charge upon the republican party
thc inauguration of tills lease. Now, Messrs. Edi
tor*. give ratan his due, but be sure you give the
"author of the system.” entire credit for his work.
As he says he is proud of it, be must resemble
another official in history, who chose to be infa
mous, rather than not lie famous.
When you insisted that tbe republicans were re
sponsible for it, 1 thought you would find it was an
invention, designed to enrich certain politicians,
who have always been ready to coalesce upon any
measure that filled their pockets at the expense of
the state. Bead over the names of the lessees aloud,
aud then call to mind the "silent partners,” and 1
think you will sgree with me. It will only be just
for the press of the state to wheel into line, aud
make the ex-governor responsible for this self-con
fessed authorship and its results.
When Governor Smith appeared in the Norwood
canvass flourishing ft "convict catechism,” he was,
iu his own estimation, a much better statesmau than
the convict ring, headed by Brown, Gordon gad
Colquitt. He did not think it "an insult to the
colored people” U> discuss the lease at that lime;
alihough it Is a high crime for me to do so at the
present.
Jam inclined to think the falling-out of these
worthies on ihe lease question was like the Alston-
Guriiugton fee. a family quarrel about who should
■IO the '‘Kidding” and who should do tile "skin
ning.” Governor Hmitli. in a report to the legisla
ture. says be found 432 In the peni enliary in Jan
uary, 1ST:!. By July of that year, the number had
increased to 47.1.
Governor Smith explains this remarkable Increase
of hi in seven months by the increased vigilance
and rigid conviction of the judiciary.
In 1875 the increase amounted to 723, In 1S7G it
was augmented to ‘.'33. By the year 1877 they num
bered 1,141.
By 1»7« Mr. Nelms says there were 1,500 The
school commissioner, Mr. Orr, i-ays there were only
ill! whites in these camps in the year 1880. The
“author of the system''dares to tell me 1 "insult
the colored iieople” when I denounce the system as
unworthy ol a great state like Georgia! The judici
ary or somebody else must have been very vigilant
to hustle so many convict slaves into the camps of
their ixiiitical friends. Governor Smith ceased to
apologize for the rapid increase, as will lie noted.
A colored girl was sentenced during the mouth of
November last, in the city of Atlanta, to live years
in the penitentiary, for stealing fifty cents from a
colored child. 1 know nothing of the evidence and
core nothing, for that verdict will not bear any ex
cuse. I found the statement In The Constitution,
November 26th. Is the "author of the system”
pleased with such a verdict?
Was it hurouue, civilized or Christian, to turn
that poor creature into the iniquities of the system,
without hope of respite or reform for five years?
Who cau forget poor Alston, who drew such a graph
ic picture of Its horrors, or who can forget that the
poor fellow lost his life becanse he dared to inter
fere with such a system, so deeply imbedded in
Georgia politics? is anybody's life safe that attacks
It?* When the day comes for rightrous judgment
on this atrocious system, it will need its distin
guished author to defend it!
Is the "author of the system" proud of the con
vict Kuttaree. who was mourted, fed, and paid to
puraue another convict? lu that pursuit, mad
dened by liquor, lie lirst insulted a lady in this
district, and theu shot her. What was the penalty?
Ten years in the Bade coal mines! The fifty cents
criminal got five years, and Kattaree got ten only.
Snamc! Is he proud of the convict "boss” who
pinned poor Matthews to the earth, face down
wards, with a pick, and literally beat out the poor
tortured soul of the helpless creature aluJ sent it to
its Maker, under the brutal lash? Even this legis
lature was utraid, as it appeared, of tire convict
ring! Boes the "author of the system" indorse the
treatment of Alston's slayer at the Bade coal mines
—permitted, as he Is, to Jump ou a ruulo and our-'
sue a negro—au escaped convict—for UV9 or three

Is a Positive Cure
loud in his praise of the present regime, and that
"Coalition,” is so harmonious, that both can bo
interviewed and praised in bourbon journals.
Ills a matter o( history that J E Bryant was once
the dcmoocratic caucus nominee in a Georgia legis
lature. In my opinion, that "coalition" is not dis
solved at the present writing. In the canvas of
1S7S, Mr. Bryant was a valuable co-worker, and did
all that was expected of him. He told Colonel I),
j 8, l'riutun, of Rome, that he intended to organize
. 1 tiie republicans in the Interest oi Judge Lester, and
s I he induced a very clever gentleman to run the race
through, with a result of only two votes. He deliv
ered the goods according to contract, and the "coa
lition” was lively and active. Fortunately for the
stale. Mr. Bryant was not so well respected in the
republican party as he was in the democratic par
ty. Hence these tears!
Governor Bullock confessed that ho was "on the
make,” and he was forced to tty from the state, but
a democratic judiciary, appointed, we believe, by
ex-Govomor Smith, gave him a triumphant ue-
quittai. it was whispered that it would not do to
convict, because two rotten democrats were ex
posed to view every time you uncovered ono cor
rupt republican.^ Ni
ovv, I submit there is no more
reason why the hundreds of good men in the re-
niblicun party should be condemned for Governor
tullock’s irregularities, than that honest demo
crats should be held responsible for tbe irregulari
ties under later administrations. In justice to
Governor Bullock, we will say he reminds us of an
expression often used among hunters—"one holds
ana another skins.” Ho Bullock was selected to
hold up the old battle-scarred euteass of Georgia in
its p 'vertv and desolation, while many of the
present head lights of bourbon democracy did the
•’skinning." In our opinion, that "coalition” con
tinues until the present, and the "skinning” pro
cess lies never been concluded among these coal i-

God speed the move! Governor Conley was execu
tive for a short time after Bullock, and nobody lias
charged any Irregularity upon him, nlthough he
was a republican. Why is it nobody has a kind
word for him who walked so straight in those
crooked times? Governor Smith says it would l*e a
••■treat calamity" for the republican party to hold
anv offices in Georgia. As he and his successor
h«ve failed to impress the people with their super
lative fitness for the executive office, there are num-
ben< of men in Georgia, who consider a longer con
tinuance of such men in office, as a "great calami
tv ” Nothing buI the inherent honesty and unpur
chaseable character of the masses in the state has
kept the whole machine from becoming a rotten
b °Ut the’gubernatorial canvass of 1SS0, the state
never saw such a carnival of trickery, bribery and
ooiruption. The -race Issue.” was the only issue,
and Governor Smith was as greedy lor the colored
vote as any other politician: and he was open lu
his opinion that Colquitt’s election would be a
"great calamity.” What influence has wrought this
Ch Tocomc a little nearer to the honorable gentle
man I have just read his letter on the Alston
Garllngton fee. As Hqueers would say, “That’:
<l JTe arraigned Colquitt for paving the money-but
the facts as developed show that Colquitt carried out
'he Hniith contract. The latter complains that the
contract was purely a private affair, and Colquitt
oughttohaveP<dd the P lobbyists less money He
does not explain whether the state would have

mv opinion the difficulty lay in the want of har-

Governor Smith is welcome to the authorship of
the system. One reflects proper credit upon Uie
handiwork of tbe other, lie may be proud of it,
but tlie state of Georgia will bear the shame and
degradation for years to come.
Governor SroUn does not deceive anybody in this
matter. He is more than the nuthor. By a trick
unworthy of an executive, U is said he fastened
ihe present lessees upon the state three years iu ad
vance of the time allowed by law.
The law granting the previous lease of convicts
did not expire until the last day of March, 1.N79.
It was expressly provided Uiat no change should
be made unless some lessee refused to accept con
victs, theu tho governor could maku some provision
for them.
In 1876 tho political "ring-masters” got to itching
for an earlier dividend upon this slave property.
Nobody refured to accept any convicts, because all
were greedy for more. General Phillips, of Mariet
ta, gave the facts I am about to relate, aud certain
friends of miuowvere present at the time He (Phil
lips) was requested to return a few to the state. He
refusod. Again he was asked to do so, and ho fi
nally agreed to return "nine," if a written guaran
tee was given him that he should not "be hart.”
Governor Smith's administration gave this guar
antee in 1876, and slniightwuy the new bids were
advertised for and the new lease campanies. Nos.
1,2 and 3. went into tbe possession of tbelr large
inheritance, and began todraw dividends from this
immense convict-slave property. Is the author of
tills trick, as proud of this feat, as he is of the sys
tem? Sharp practice, eh!
Fraud is said to vitiate all contracts—outside of
Georgia. What will be done with the lease with
these clouds hanging over it must be decided by
the honest voters of the state. A distinguished
gentleman in public life told me that fifty dollars
per capita was offered for these convicts, but a
much lower bid was accepted. His name I with
hold until it is needed.
General Phillips told me also that this written
guarantee, giveu him in 1876. was shown t* a legis
lative committee two or three years ago when a dis
pute had arisen about the contract with the Mari
etta and North Georgia railroad. Tho members of
the legislature to whom that investigation was con
tided cau substantiate tho stuteineut.
Here was a specimen of democratic jugglery thnt
throws Bullock into the shade! Only democrats
were in office when these tilings wove done! Bern
ocracy did tho "holding” and I suppose ihe same
coalitionists that did the "skinning” in Bullock's
time were ready to take a hand in this business of
the new lease.
As 1 said before, the ex-govemor is ambitious to
incur the odium that accompanies the whole aflair.
Now, when he comes to the front to denounce bet
ter men than himself, as attempting o "drag Geor
gia down”—let him explain nis connection with
these intrigues that did lower the grand old state
into this pit of official trickery, or forever hold his
peace.
I do not excuse anything Governor Bulluck did
that was wrong, nor will i excuse Governor
Smith for similar offense*. I tiud both on the
same side in politics, and both quite willing to
abuse men who oppose them. Their “coalition"
is not denied now.
The old cry of "radical.” “traitor" "disotgani-
zer," etc., wont do this time. It is worn out in
this part of the country. Home of the loudest
democratic leaders were the most blatant iu ISOS
on the other side: and their present williuguess
to open up a smooth way to official spoils has eon
doned all former crimes. Unless there is some
new salt injected iuio the body politic, the party
has lost its savor, ana the cry of "coalition”
Hgaiust the independents, is only anew name for
"stop tl\iei’’—that betrays the thief Itself.
The party policy has got beyond the help of the
honest men in the party. The '‘coalitions" are
too strong for innocence and honesty, and the men
who clamor for reform in the democratic party,
within its organization, are the very men who
cheated in the last deal, and are only waiting for
another chance to cheat again. When the thimble-
riggers get through with one crafty job they are fix
ing up'/oranother. If you work faithfully aud ask
nothing for yourself, and defend all their official
"crookedness," you may be considered a very clev
er fellow: but you must take always a back seat, or
you will meet a senatorial sneer, or a spike from
the railroad boomerang.
