H. A. WKRNCH, Kditoi Mid I'r<»pri.4or. ————lß I Uli I ■ If 111 SATURDAY, JULY 29. IW2. The Citizen holds up its side of the senatorial question with phi ky vigor. The Greenback Cause, a sprightly ad vocate of the new party, recently started in Atlanta, supports Gartrell for Gov ernor. Cot. Thornton is decidedly too pro miscuous for a successful organizer; hut as an excessive “lilieral” he is certainly a jewel. Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly. It remains to he observed how the application of thia line will fit when Alex Stephens gets to Ire governor. Whenever the honesty, integrity and ability of Dr. Felton falls below that of any other man in the seventh district, then will we turn our back upon him, forever. The state democratic platform in a neat, but vague way, makes a charming bow to the independents. We return the salute ; lait we’ll sec yon later. This is hot the season for suckora. In IRS 4 a new democracy will step into the primaries and knock all of the trades of the late convention into a cocked bat. The hoys are getting their nerve tip. Senator Brown made a speech against the proposition to reduce the tariff on su gar, sa it wmdd remove protection from one of the few interests in the South, fos tered under the present system. Wk have no fight now, to make against Gov. Colquitt’s going to the U. 8. Senate, but in the language of the gentleman from Bibb, we “protest” against his fanning out all the offices in the state to that end. Thk editor of the Atlanta Constitution has been deputised to “tote Mr. Ste phen’s skillet,” in the coming campaign. Editor Howell, it will be remembered is an original “skillet tutor,” and it will probably not ruffle I. is conciencc to carry the emblem of Georgia independent ism. Dr. Felton in his lew year’s service in Congress had attained a membership in the most important committee of the house—the committee of ways and means; but the old seventh has lost her prestige in two short years of his ab scence. Both Stephens and Gartrell arc men worthy of the highest confidence; but Georgia wants a governor just now that can look in over the transoms occasion ally. There is nothing like spryneas in a boss. From this standpoint we nat urally look upon Gartrell as the beat man. The Texas Riftings says that Gen. Weaver, the Greenback ajmstle, has l>een worrying the Texas demociatic mo guls. He has l<een handling them as a healthy terrier would a sick rat. This is bad on the fellows who wanted Wea ver to make a joint canvnss with them just to amuse the jieople. It is said that all the candidates for the state senate and lower house of the Georgia legislature, this year, have a longing eye on the respective chairman ships. They take this as a nigh cut to the executive mansion; but they forget that Stephens, if be gets there, has the longevity of a Georgia mule. We pitch a good word te the breeze for gallant Tom Hardeman for congress man-at-large. One of the best felloes the state, and with friends in every pmunity, nothing but his pood nature J indisposition to scramble for office «s kept him back. But they could not ■wd him down in the convention last fk. His friends forced him triumph- Sto the front over all efforts to the ary. Citizen claims that the conven- -V. last week took the bottom out of the ndependent movement in Georgia. If Are take in the classical figuration of our neighlior, lie is decidedly incorrect in his surmise's. Mr. Stephens is only an ar tificial bottom. The real bottom of the Independent movement is composed of the horny handed yeomany, warranted to neither rip, tear, or swag. The public debt of the U. S. on the first of July was us follows: Total inter est bearing. >1,403,810,400; debt on which interest has eeased, $ 16,200,805 ; debt bearing no interest; >438, 241, 788 outstanding debt, 11,918,312,994. There was cash in treasury, >243,289,539, The monthly in- tereat charge is $4,780,000. The population of the U. 8. is 62,799,0fti > and thedebt per capita >31.72; ilieiJNc tereet per capita is >1.09. By this yon' can see how much of the burden you have to bear. Fully one-half the uegroen of Mont gomery county, Ala., in a formal conven tion held recently, declared for tire dem ocratic state and county ticket.— Savan nah News, For the past five years Alabama demo crate have been dividing the email end of official patronage with the colored brother to this end wherever it was nee ceasary to court his power, in their Hlrugfth against independentisni. The same thing will follow in Georgia, in the ; face of the great fear of africanizing the alate, whenever bourbonism finds its grip slackening. PUBLIC SENTIMENT. Recklessly Expressed by Various Otwervors of these Naughty Times. Piohibition is the law in 42 counties in Georgia. A deserved tribute was paid Henry Grady' in his unanimous election to the Board <>i Trustees of the State I T ni versify The victory of the Prohibitionists of lowa bus stirred up the. temperance turn in in other Western States, espe < ially Wisconsin and Minnesota. Emory Speer is a lucky citizen. The rerentconvrntion insured his chances for re-election to congress “by a large ma jority!”—Evening Herald. The fun commences in Atlanta this morning, when the slick ways of Geor gia’s politicians will he shown for all they are worth. — Albany News. Tho Atlanta ring has wrung -the neck of the state democracy. “The young scratchers,” will be a good sized party in Georgia this fall.—Valdosta Times. We are informed that Dr. Felton is perfectly delighted with the nomination of Mr. Stephens and has put in order all of the latter’s endorsenmnta of the Fir mer’s political course —Daily Herat 1. The Arkansaw Traveler’s aged col ored {icrsonsays: “My idea of de bet ter world is whar dar is a election goili’ on all de time, case den de w hite folks is always perlight. The two worst things that can be said of Gen. Gartrell is that he is an indepen dent and that he thirsts for the office of governor. The same can be said of Mr. Stephens.—Valdosta Tinies. When congress adjourns, Emory Speer will begin his canvass of the Ninth district for himself ami Mr. Stephens. Both of them will carry the district over whelmingly.—Telegraph 4 Messenger. —— Dr. Felton, up in the seventh, is not making much firss just at present, but it wouid not surprise us if he did not give the organized a good deal of trouble to defeat him this fall. —Griffin Sun. A Chicago exchange slurs the Tariff Commission by prophesying that “it will investigate the tariff through julip and cobbler straws at the several wa tering place hotels.” The Cincinnati Enquirer says the Democratic party could conduct the government for the next ten years up on the moneys wasted and stolen un der Republican administration during the hist seventeen years. When was it that Dr. Felten, w ith a fairly chosen convention and the majori ty rule, could not have been the demo cratic nominee in the Seventh district? Nobody is barred from sending in nn answer.—Atlanta Herald. The Atlanta Post-Appeal, which was first for Stephens, ami afterwards fur Gartrell, for Governor, has taken down the name of the latter, and again run up that of Stephens as its candidate for the time being. We now commend te it the laconic advice of Sumner to Stanton —“Stick ’’’—Home Tribune. It iz reported that Dr. Felten will com mence producing his Stephens certifi cates in Cartersville on next Thursday. Bartow being a Stephens county, the ccrtific**.tea will have a cheering effect on tho Independent campaign.—Macon Telegraph. The Constitution is vaguely hinting that it had the honor of suggesting the nomination of Mr. Stephens. This bare-faced attempt te rob tho Post- Appeal of its reputation as the original Stephens paper will not win with an intelligent public. The record is made up and it will stand.—Post Appeal. The intimation of a comtempoary that the recent state convention was com posed of pimps and hirelimn is not a graceful way of adding to democratic harmony. Nevertheless, the aforesaid harmony is strong and solid, and a few intimations, more or less, will not dis turb it. —Constitution. Your uncle Joseph Brown's purse strings nre flapping about like leaves in a cyclone. That is a munificent gift of $60,000 to the State University. It makes a cool SIOO,OOO given by the ohl man to the colleges. He is doing more for the colleges than the colleges ever did for him, — Albany Advertiser. The Macon Telegraph and Messen ger says: Gov. Colquitt might make a toleraby good missionary to China, tail there isn’t a sane man in Georgia that would enjoy the cruel spectable of )- 1 Ji trying to fill Ben Hill's seat in the V Lmute. It would be absolutely inhu man, even it the stole slxmld consent to ho absurd an exchange. We are well pleased with the entire ticket nominated by our Democratic State Convention. But we must say that the resolutions adopted us a plat form fall below our expectation. It is a common fault with the Democrats that they do not make sharp issues with their «>pponents on well defined policies or measures. We are for a square contest between the Democrats and the Federal administration party (call Republican, j Libei al, Independent, or what not) in | Georgia, and w e regret that the platform did not present the issues in such away , as to forces fight on that line.—Rome I Courier. An exchange says: The young; men of the South, w ho found themselves strand at the close of the war—bank rupt in everything save honor —have indeed done a heroic work toward build ing up themselves and their country. What nation ever recovered from rever ses more rapidly than the South has since the war’ Utterly bankrupt, at the close of the war destitute of even the necessaries ol life; in debt, and no pros pect ahead save by hard, earnest, la borious labor. They went to work like men, and nobly have they held their own. The struggle has been a hard one; how well they have stood up am) bat tled to push themselves and their coun try forward, let the facts themselves answer. We have been for Tom for governor. Congressman. Senator, everything hon orable for years, but the Bourbons have always held him down. Wo now sail our hat high in tho air for him. His nomination wo regard as a vindication of principle. He was among the first men we met in the State, and we are proud to say that his first conversation was pa triotic, conservative ami honorable. Just so with the last we had with him, and just so his big heart throbs to-day. Hurrah for Tom Hardeman for a high seat in the National Councils. —Gaines- ville Southern, Independent. The new party as described by the Chicago Times: The new party which will come as an effective popular po litical force will be a party with poli tics in it. It will not come mouth ing political generalizations, but strik ing for some very positive, definite ami distinctly practical proposition upon some political question the su preme importance of which the coun try realizes with a degree of intensi ty sufficient te awaken popular feel ing ami transmute it into popular ac tion. The Atlanta Herald argues that the adoption of the majority rule will be the death-knell te Atlanta rule in the politics of the state. Should tho rule be adopted and at any time Augusta, Savannah, Al bany and Columbus could combine and divide the offices out to the entire exclu sion of Atlanta and North Georgia. If such combination could be made The Herald is right, and if the rule is adopted the politicians outside of Atlanta should see that this result is obtained.—Ex. A New York correspondent of ,the Washington Republic having made the statement that Mr. Tilden would be a candidate for the next Democratic Presi dential nomination, the New York Sun expresses the opinion that the statement is a mistake. It thinks that whije the sage of Gramercy Park would make the strongest, candidate theDeinocracy could select, he would not be willing to accept the nomination. lowa has now determined to go further in the attempt to prevent men from using intoxicating drinks than any other civil ized community has ever undertaken to go. She has incorporated the principle in her constitution. No intoxicating liquors can be made and none can be sold for drinking purpose in that State without violating the fundamental law. Other commonwealths have been con tent with prohibitory statures; lowa now has a prohibitory constitution. A correspondent of the Augusta Even ing News writes from Atlanta on the 20th: Mr. Stephens to-day presented Evan Howell, of the Constitution, with a skillet. The reason assigned was Howell’s shrewd and able management of the campaign, and in helping him to ‘‘tote his skillet.” In this act Alec gracefully acknowledges the ‘‘power be hind the throne.” The Virginia state democratic commit tee have under existing circumstances decided that it will be inexpedient for them to nominate a candidate for con gressman-at-large, either by action of the committee or by convention, since the object had in view by the democratic party could be best attained without such action. They will support the re adjuster candidate. The democratic party of Brown’s Plantation (formerly known as the State of Georgia), is divided into two gangs— the ‘‘straightouts” who can’t help themselves, and the “half-breeds,” who are likewise!—Sam Small t otton along the Mississipi, on the overflowed lands, is now in full bloom, and will yield, as estimat'd bv good judges, a bale to the acre on average. The ground being enriched by the over flow, crops have grown on it with won derful rapidity. .Many of the smaller farmers in the overflowed districts have planted little or nothing on account of loss of stock, and much of the land lies idle. Mrs Jack Argo, of Sparta, Tenn., while dressing her year-old baby, a few mornings since, found the point of a needle protruding from the skin near the breast lame, ami succeeded in getting it out without causing pai.i or loss of blood I'he child of course swallowed the needle at some time, bit he parents don’t know when. The south is not only warmer in winter but decidedly cooler in summer than the North. In New York last Sunday the thermometer registered 98 in the shade. During the twenty-four hours ending at noon Monday 101 deaths, most from the effects of the sun were reported. Russia is a large country ami does things on a liberal scale; even the mur ders there being of the wholesale kind. A train ran off near Moscow the other I day, and out of 217 on board 187 were killed nil tht* r**«t mort* or Icjrr luirt. 1 Senator Hill’s l>yi»C Speech. It is (generally known that Mr. Hill s i death is but a question of time. A very , few days seem to be all that is left to him of life. A day or two since lie said to Col. Lamar, of the Macon Telegraph and Messenger; “I had desird to live for two reasons, , chief among which was that I might ( have made a speech which T had partly i prepared to the people of this whole | country, upon the relations betw-en the i white man and the bla<’k man. I have always been in favor of giving the. negro equal and exact justice—nothing more ami nothing less. My friend, we cannot have good government or stable society in this land when one party seeks to dominate the other by use of the negro vote.” Why ; oh, Why" Why did the committee on platform omit that resolution which read : Resolved, that all errors be corrected within, and not without, the party? Did it not do sobecaii.se Mr. Stephens himself suggested that this wouid anger the independents and cause them to an tagonize. him? —Atlanta Herald. Georgia for the Rich. Robert Toombs remarked when he saw the clause in the constitution of 1877 qualifying voters, that in a tew years half the voters of Georgia would be dis franchised. Lets see: Butts county has nearly 500 disfranchised; Fulton 5,000; Morgan, 600 or 800 ; Richmond, several thousand, and other comities in like proportion, as will be seen from examin ing the comptroller’s book. Awake ye poor people from your lethargy, or else in a few years you will be compelled to kneel at your master’s feet and beg for bread. —Jackson News. Not Mad but Sick. We are not mad, disgruntled or disor ganized. As we haven’t been governed much for the past six years ami don’t ex pect any’ improvement for the next two, we see no reason to strain our hip-joint kicking at the empty air.—Atlanta Her ald. Our friend Starr, of the Spring Place Times, calls for the saving of the im mense crop of fruit, by camming, drying, “or some other mode of putting it into a durable form.” As, in the same paper, he appeals for the repair of the town well, only in behalf of the wayward trav eller who t.hirsteth for water, we can ap preciate the interest he manifests in the saving of the juicy peach in a durable form. Thk Rome Courier gives circulation to a rumor that Col. Forsythe of that place, is to be appointed judge of the U. S. court of the northern district of this state. It says that Forsythe has gone te Washington, and indications suggest the certainty of Atkin’s rejection by the . senate. Gen. Gartrell has been furnished with substantial “fraud cry” at the very outsetof the campaign, for Mr. Stephens put nothing in his platform that meant anything or that anybody could attack. —Atlanta Herald.

In many cases of Nervous Prostration, Female Diseases, Dyspepsia and an im poverished condition of the blood, this peerless remedy, has in my kanite, made some wonderful cares.
