The Baltimore Sun’s Now Orleans
correspondent says: “The Hon.
Samuel J. Bandall, whose analytical
mind has gotten down to the bottom
facts, assures me that ho is perfectly
satisfied that when the case is fairly

He does not, of course, expect the
Radical politicians to surrender
without a struggle, but with tho peo

be vain.” _____
Speaking of the heavy lron-clads of
the British navy, each of which costs
some three millions of dollars to
build and equip, the London Daily
News says that, by reason of the
small amount of coal they carry, they
are unable to trust themselves very
far from land. This is true, and it
shows a weakness that is often.over
looked by those who see only their
tremendous guns and armature. But
if once driven far out to sea in time
of war, and out Of coal, they would
not be Very dangerous to a swift
naval steamer of comparatively light
tonffagb with plenty of coal and good
engines.

Mr.. Wheeler, tho Republican can
didate for tho Vice Presidency, was
the chairman of the Congressional
Committee which investigated the
action ! of the Returning Board of
Louisiana in 1874. The bourd was
then and Is now composed of the
same persons. Mr. Wheeler reported
that this board had wrongfully award
ed seats In tho House of Representa
tives to persons who were not
entitled to them, and deprived of
their seats persons who were entitled.
Under his “compromise” this wrong
was in part remedied. Does Mr.
Wheeler propose now to profit by
frauds, exactly slmihufto those which
he exposed ami helped to undo in
1874?
THE INEMtaIBIJS KLKCTOIW.
The New York World quotes from
the laws of Oregon and Vermont the
clauses relating to the filling of va
cancies In the Electoral boards of
those States. The law of Oregon
provides that If a vacancy shall oc
cur from any cause, the other Elec
tors shall fill it. The law of Vermont
provides that “If any person elected
an Elector shall neglect to attend”
on the first Wednesday In Decem
ber to cast the vote of the State, “it
shall be the duty of the other Elec
tors present to fill, by ballot, the va
cancy thus occasioned..'’ This does
not seem quite so ample as the Or
egon law, and It. may be that the bill
Introduced In the Vermont Legisla
ture last Saturday alms to make it
oover vacancies from any cause.
But tbo legal question still arises,
are there any "vacancies” to fill in
Vermont and Oregon? The World
quotes authorities on this point,
which are strongly on tho negative
side. There are several decisions to
that effect, and Mr. McCreary, in his
"Laws of Elections,” says: “It is
very clear that no appointment can
be made to fill a vacancy until the
offlee has been once full”—and he
shows that Congress has taken this
vieSfr.' The disqualified Vermont and
Oregon Electors having never filled
the positions for which they were
candidates, it follows that there can
be no vacancies.
But their oases seem to be covered
by an act of Congress—section 134 of
the Revised Statutes—which says:
“Whenever any State has hold an oleo
tion for the purpose of choosing Electors,
and has failed to wake a choice on the day
prescribed by law, the Electors may be ap
pointed on a subsequent day In such man
ner as the Legislature of such State may
direct.*’
It will be seon that the laws of Ore
gon and Vermont, quoted above, do
not provide for the contingency of a
failure to elect, but only for vacancy
or neglect occurring after election, of
which there has been none in these
oases.
The World says there is time yet to
convene the Legislatures and have
them to acton the oases as presented,
and this may be just what the Ver
montßegislature is doing—providing
for filling the board in a case of fail
ure to elect. But -he Radicals would
fee! rather ticklish if the Oregon Leg
islatures were to undertake to do the
same thing, for it Is “mightily mixed”
the Democrats having a plurality of
5 over the Radicals, and an “inde
pendedt” vote of 28 holding the bal
ance of the power.
As to the other cure of disqualifica
tion to which we referred a few days
ago—by the resignation of the dis
qualifying offices after election—
this, too, would seem to be unavail
ing. The constitution declares that
“no person holding an office of profit
or trust under the United States
shall be appointed an Elector;” and
an act of Congress provides that “the
Electors of President and Vice Presi
dent shall be appointed in each State
on the Tuesday next after the first
Monday In November inevery. fourth
year”—thus making the appointment
date from the day of the election.

Is ihe most Important town on (he
Htale Railroad; Us population 3,000;
seven churches; two hotels of mam
moth size for a country town; some
beautiful residences, with neat flower
yards. The surrounding country Is
hilly, with delightful coves and val
leys ; the valleys rich and productive.
The people in Cartorsville are intel
ligent and cultivated; able lawyers,
good physicians, and eminent di
vines. Col. Charles Willingham edits
one of the ablest Democratlo sheets
In the Htate, and publishes here.
BARTOW COUNTY,
primitively Cass, and in its transition
formation, was bounded by Paulding,
Gilmer, Floyd, Cobb and Cherokee,
and organized into a County In 1832.
It was named after Lewis Cass, of
Exeter, N. H. Cass left Now Hamp
shire in 179, and moved toOhio. He
was a gallant soldier Of 1812; was a
Colonel under Hull at Detroit, Mioh.
He was exchanged, and In 1813 was
made a Brigadier General, and ap
pointed Governor of Michigan. He
was seven times nominated, receiv
ing the unanimous vote; he made
eighteen treaties with the Red Men
of the Forest, acquiring millions of
acres of their lands. He was in the
War Department under Jackson. In
1836 ho was Minister to France; in
1845 was United States Senator. In
the 50th and 53d numbers of the old
American Review there are two arti
cles from his pen on the Indian Ibices;
in them he showfed himself master of
his subject. In 1810 Taylor defeated
him for President. His after course
towards our section-lot It rest with
him in the shades of the dead past.
Some years ago the name was
changed to Bartow, alter Georgia’s
noble son-a soldier hero, who died
with his face to tho foe-dying in
defence of our Constitutional rights,
the right of States to govern them
selves. God bless his memory! He
was dear to Georgia’s heart; his
deeds live; in death he is honored.
None above him!
LANDS.
There is large quantities of rich
land in the county, lying mostly on
the streams.
THE SOIL.
Red chocolate and chocolate, with
different grades down to worthless
rocky hills, barren as to farming
purposes, yet rich in minerals.
PRODUCTS.
Rye, oats, wheat, barley, clover,
grasses, corn, cotton, truck and fruit
—indeed all seem to do well on this
soil where fertile. All the cereals
grow luxuriantly, and tobacco grows
to perfection. It Is by many thought
to be the most fertile county in
Georgia.
THE WATER POWER
Is flue, but not much utilized at this
time.
FISH AND GAME.
“All the rivers, creeks and smaller
streams in this section of the State
abound with fish, and the different
varieties of game furnish great sport
during their seasons to the lovers., of
pleasure and sportsmen. Tho trout,
black-perch, brim, red-horse,sucker,
buffalo, oat-flsh and soft-shelled tur
tles are caught at all seasons of tho
year. Recently the Government ha?
stocked the rivers at Rome, Georgia,
with thousands of young shad, and
In a few years it is believed that our
streams will be filled with this spe
cies of the tinny tribe. Wild turkey,
deer, opossum, foxes, coons, squir
rels, partridges and rabbits always
furnish sport and supply the table
with meat.”
WHEAT AND OTHER SMALL GRAIN.
The farmers of othis section are
busy putting in their small grain.
They are sowing a large crop of
wheat. Tho dry weather this fall
has retarded them much, yet, noth
ing daunted, they are determined to
have "biscuit” another year. They
have felt the harm to themselves and
families by the fatal illusion to trust
it all to cotton, luck or chance. They
know the error of such a dependence.
They will not again trust thoir fate
to cotton—they will have provisions
another year, for they trust, not to
the fluctuating price of the staple,
and are sowing down many acres
heretofore devoted to cotton. With
fair seasons ‘the wheat crop will be
equal to the demand in this section.
Farmers truly wise raise all thoir
provisions at home; this is a quality
of genuine wisdom; it Is opposed to
hazard. Successful farmers are suc
cessful because because they raise
everything to eat at home, making
certain, as far as the farmer can, the
results of all be undertakes. It
would be well if others of the “sons
of toil” in South and Middle Geor
gia would follow the example of the
Cherokee farmer, sowing more grain,
planting more corn, more truck, and
much less cotton, and thereby raise
the mortgages off their homes and
little ones.
MINERALS.
Marble, sand-stone, anthrystine,
quartz, asbestos, soap-stone, slate,
plumbago, gold, silver, lead, manga
nese, copper, titanium, graphite,
shale, flour spar, tripoli, calcareous
spar, sulphate of barytos, chalcedo
ry and flint are in more or less pay
ing quantities and of good quality.
To the capitalist here is a harvest for
him by the way of paying invest
ment.
SPRINGS.
Rowland’s have a wide reputation
as a public resort in the seasons. It
is within an easy drive of Carters
vitle, being only six miles distant.
There are other good mineral springs
in the county.
MANUFACTORIES.
This interest is beginiug to at
tract attention; several lime furna
ces now in operation; many other
" . . ..'L'.' -- Li-:,..—i-L.
mills of different character, and all
paying on the capital invested.
MOUNDS.
There are several of them in the
county. The one on the old Turalin
place, on the north side of tho Eto
wah, was some years ago some eighty
feet high and over four hundred in
circumference at tho base. Many
curious speoiinons of pottery have
been taken from It. Who built this
mound? Where have this ieople
gone? “The Nloboof There
she stands, childless and crownless
in her voiceless woe.”
It Is sad to think of these people
who possessed this beautiful land be
fore us. But why weep over.thelr fato
—those brave red men of the forest? It
is true they accomplished their des
tiny—they filled their niche in this
world—their hour on tho sundial run
out, and they are not! “Such is the
law of fate, beneath whose stern
mandate other nations have wrapt
around them the solemn drapery of
the sepulchre und bowod their glor
ious foreheads in tho dust. Birth
places of the monurch-minstrel, the
blind man of Sclo and him who pluck
ed tho last laurel from the olden trge
of song—what are ye? Mouldering
monuments, erected by the Destroy
er, to show the foot prints of the
eternal world-march. That stern
unbending—necessary law! What
speaks it? An august truth! It tells
without and within is force—force
moving spirit and matter; man and
stars onwatd. One moment of ces
sation—and the ‘golden bowl and
pitcher would be broken at tho foun
tain.’ Under this power—man and
worlds must be alike pushed off the
existence-stage to make room for
others. System rushes on system
generation on generation and nation
on nation—an everlasting battle; a
fearful war, in which the defensive
must ever surrender—somo expiring
with a low, melodious wail, and
others breathing their last in a loud
warrior shout.”
So died tho “People Gone I” The
forest-fire shot up fiercely to tho end,
and the brave soul of tho wood
glanced defiance in the death strug
gle. Wo havo said why weep over
thoir fate? .Philosophical It may not
be; yet humanity unseals the foun
tain, and the cold hearth-stone—the
broken bow and loaf-covered grave
are wet with the mourner’s tear.
Were this people wronged? Wo do
not feel disposed to investigate the
subject. If wronged—then wrong Is
the very divinity of the Inevitable
law3 which produce their ruin.
Man’s feeble eye cannot pierce the
cloud; man’s circumscribed mind
cannot roll away tho mists which en
velope the Empire of tho Real.”
THEIR PHYBICALE.
We cannot mention tho population
of these people when the white man
first, set footon this shore, “although
his success in thinning tho numbers
of the Aborgines soon rendered the
task quite easy. The Indian peo
ple were so divided into hostile tribes
—each tribe was so cautious in stat
ing its actual number, aud their
habits were so migratory that an ac
curate calculation of their numbers
can never be made. Yet many have
pretended to accomplish this—but
thoir accounts, so contradictory, do
not deserve notice. We have the
population however, of some of the
tribes prett y accurately stated. Thus
we are told, according to Jefferson
the whole number of Powhattan wor
riors amounted to two thousand four
hundred. This, an ablo writer on
Indian affairs supposes would give an
entire population of eight thousand
souls. Taking into visw the ac
knowledged power of this tribe and
the great uneasines it always gave to
the early emigrants, we may safely
conclude that the Indians were never
very numerous. Then the greater
glory to them for so long withstand
ing the myriads which Europe poured,
like wild, remorseless waves upon
their shore! These myriads, too,
armed with all the powerful machine
ry which the science of three hundred
years had bestowed, and the invaded
only supplied with the wooden bow
simple club and stone hatchet. In
deed the length of Indian wars is
absolutely astonishing. Nothing but
the most indomitable bravery, burn
ing patriotism and military skill
could havo sustained them in trials
so varied, disastrous and continued.
The moral character of the Indians
has been a stereotyped topio for de
nunciation and invective. The early
colonists describe them, “as so many
spirits of hell." I’et the pious crea
tures seemed to he very anxious for
a title to their abode. The Indian
has been stigmatized as treacherous.
How ? In alluring his enemy to
places ot danger ? This Is only one
of the recognized arts of war. The
Indian has been ealled blood-thirsty.
How ? In slaying his enemies'? This
is the consequence of war. In mur
dering his prisoners? This the In
dian was taught to consider as op
tional with himself. Besides, wbat
prisons had he for their safe-keep
ing?
The Indian has been called “cruel.”
What causes had he to make him so?
His brethren carried into captivity—
his wife and children bound in the
chains of slavery—his fields de
stroyed his hunting grounds
harried—his dwellings burnt—his
wide aud beautiful country wrested
from his grasp and he driven forth
without home, without food and with
out shelter. These! these changed
his nature, and sometimes made the
man a demon. That the red warrior
often committed acts which humani
ty cannot pardon, we confess; but
yet cannot the feeling heart find
much in his extenuation ? We haz
ard nothing in saying, that the
whites have deeds of cruelty to an
swer for, far more bloody than the
natives of America. Witness Jesus;
attest it St. Bartholomew; speak out
thou Inquisition! And what of the
ghillotine ? Where is there an Indi
an Attila?—or nn Ahorigna! Robe
splerre? Historyanjgwereth not. Oh!
it Is very modest in us to speak of
Indian cruelty! And more easy, too,
than effective. But we will leave
this bead for one more pleasant-the
Intellectual character of the rod man.
His mind has always teen underrat
ed. The only faculty which wo have
allowed him to a high extent Is that
of oratory. But wo challenge the
white man of to-day to produce a bet
ter judgment, caution, calculation,
than can be found in Powhatan, Phil
lip, l’ontanic, Tecutnseb, Osceola,
and last, but not least, tho chiefs
that killed Ouster, the.brave, und
drove Sheridan from the frontier to
the South to guard and stuff ballot
boxes in South Carolina, Louisiana
and Florida. “B.” ’
