THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN H. MARTIN, • - • KJUOP. Oolumbua, 0n... WKDNESm^^-WVEMBK LARGEST CtRCtTLATION In (ho CoiMloSßlAjooeul to < T*4ln* The yews and Courier says Gover nor Hampton will be entitled to be installed between Monday the 27th instant and Saturday, 2d of Decem ber. ■ V • ♦ • Hon. Robert 11*y, of Ouachita par ish,*®tft?;%lfo was the Republican candidate tor re-election as Judge of the District Gaurt, mMAu the elec-1 tlon of his Democrntlo opponent,and says that he will not havo the office it the returning board should count him in; and they will have to count him If they make out a majority for Hayes ip the State. 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 ppt before fcjm peuph> of the North, bound to come right in the end. He does not, of course, expect the Radical politicians to surrender without a struggle, but with tho peo ple against thetri, of which he enter tains no doubt, their struggles will 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. inpr'i 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. IKK COW COCNTT, CiKOHUIA. It. Hl.lorr, I.n.N, Miner*!". ilrl*. nee., Ac. OAUTftoWtT.E, Bartow Cos., Oa., I November 13,187f1. 'Editor of Tiife*: CMtTEIOpnU.E 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.” ’ TUB Piedmont & Arlington LIFE INSURANCE CO., OF BICfiMONO, VA., Desires to secure as local agents in every city, town and county in Georgia and Alabama, energetic, reliable men, who can and will peraoually secure applications for insurance —liberal rommiaslona allowed.
