fl. A. WKEM 'fl, lililor nixl Proprietor. ■—r,»in.,m» ,* — K avxrjTE;.Meun SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 18S2. All the Georgia Cong ressii ion but two voted to pass the $19,000,(MJ0 public steal over the president’)* veto. The English should bait their F.gyp- 1 tian missiles with a Georgia platform. It might console, e\en, Arabi Bey. The extracts in our “I’tiblic opinion'' i Column indicate the general ripple along | the [Hilitical line in Georgia. Soharmo nious like. - If every man w ho prefers GarlrvH for governor of Georgia, does his whole du ty, he will just be the next governor. That's tin* long ami short of it. Tur. Georgia democratic platform might have added novelty by embody ing the A pestle's creed. 11 would, then, have made a good missionary document. In all the long line of troubles which ' have encompassed many of the citizens of northern Georgia before United States 1 courts, Lucuis J. Gurlrell was never the i one to go back upon a poor man because ' he had not the price of a fee. • Dr. Fklton occupies a stronger posi tion to-day than he ever did before at the outset of a canvass, and by the time . begets through with the lying, yelping hounds, who have been barking at his heels for the last few months, he will , make the thing very interesting. The result of the r Lite republican con- i ventton in Atlanta, this week, was a i split, apparently on a color line, though many of the better tempered colored men sided with the genuine republi cans, lead by Conley, Longstreet, VV’ikle and other reputable citizens. We would advise the party to get together and har niqjpze on the double acting, breach loading platform of the late democratic convention. No hostile people are safe j without it. It is a gentle panacea for nil differences. Tm: colored people of I>eKalb county, gather, annually around the grave of Col. R. \. Alston, in a d«*ccoration ami memorial service, as their call tor the meeting, last Saturday stated to pub licly testify to their exalted admiration of the life ami services of him who was first, to denounce the working of tin: lease system, and whose highest object in life seemed to be the amelioration of the deplorable condition of the helpless ami unfortunate. * A very great pressure has been brought to bear on Mr. Jones by leading 1 ami influential men, not only in his own i comity but all over the district, among them a number from Murray, for him to make the race this year, feoling as they say that injustice was done him ami the voters of Whitfield, whose decided choice he was. What he will do we do not know. Should he conclude to enter the race, it is unnecessary for us to say that the Citizen will support, him for the very reasons we have set forth in this article. — Dalton Citizen. Last election time, ami the time bo-' fore, after reading the many choice ex pressions of Gen. Gartrell’s purity, pa triotism and ability, so classically and persistently stated in the columns of the Dalton Citizen, and the ugly sayings about Alex Stepbeas, we promised, in our mind, that some day, if these two should oppose each other, we would give way to the teachings of the dear old Cit izen, ami vote for Gurtrell. The time has arrived, ami we can only wonder how it must tear the heart strings of the editor, over there, to shift his love, as 'twere. We have no harsh words for Jud Clemants, ami really, if he were as able t in the duties of the place into which he I lias slipped, as he is crafty in local pol ities, we should not oppose him; but the grand old seventh district, with its mines of iron ami coal, and its great for ests of timber, inviting the manufactur er, calls for a representative in con gress, the peer of any man there. W. H. Felton is that num. It is not enough to say that because Jud Clemants is de serving, that he should la* placed where he is incompetent. We talk plain, but with no feeling of harshness. We sim ply utter the truth. No man should be sent to congress who is not equal to every emergency possible. Two Jinny, by Half. Jud Clements will probably step into tiie arena before the campaign is over. Il can be truly said of this young man that during ttie contest that resulted in his election, he didn't make enough fuss j to wake a baby.—Costitulion. No, nor will he make ‘•enough fuss to wake a baby” with the colic, if Jie should remain in Congress thirty years. There is not a third rate fuss in him, and that ■ is what is the matter with Hannah.— , Gainesville Southern. The cotton crop of Egypt has been increasing so that 422,171 bales were whipped from Alexandria, the first hall of the present year. The war will stop this product lor a time, most likely, ami may enhance the demand for, and the price of, American cotton. The entire crop of Egypt is about 1,000,1*1*0 bales. She has also exported 2,000,000 bushels of wheat in a single year. Wisconsin has 40,000 more foreign than she has white native adults. Even Massachusetts has halt as many foreign male adults, as she has native. New i nrk has s.'J(>,2!*S foreign born to s *>2,!*ot /aitiye born citizens. r .>. 11 • KCEXJ. .a*.’ 1 - Wj THE SEN V! <>t I I !’>N. The semitorhil <pte tion in this di - triel has reaclssl a point whete it is em im-ntly politic lor the Alto.* to express a prel'erence. If we had Ixien manipula ting the canvass, in the interest of the , people, and our political creed, w e should I I not have varied the decisive happenings , | of the past week. We shall have no sharp invective, no ■ I cutting irony, no stinging sarcasm for | either of the candidates. In the sweet , vernacular of the Georgia cracker, they l are our’n ; When we* una Hicel you'rm in b.iti Ic array. You’ll* ’gainst wc’iiik, do politic* can sa . Trimmier thrust the convention in its face, because he doubted the honesty rd its purpose; Carter delied it because it | attempted to crush him in a spirit of , Irossism; ami Joni's ignores its decrees because it has played him false. In this, is not the honesty ami w iadom of the Argus endorsed Doom it not print in letters of fire, the consistent democracy of that grand old ! man eloquent, with a record as pure ami • spotless as virgin beauty, who, Moses • like, (iod sent from the bosoms of tin* people to lead them through the ihad l ow y wilderness in the hour of trouble? ' Aye; more than this; yea, ten thou sand times more ; (and the sentiment | j comes up in a stream of prolusion from a heart without guile;) the Citizen,! image of the beautiful ami pure, of our 1 own creation—our first born- ami its i I good editor, he under w horn, our first tu ; forage in the art preservative lapsed into . the advanced stages of political art, come ; | w ith a trill of ecstacy like unto t he songs ■ of David, in w hich breath . the consola i lion of well done, thou good and faithful ; I --the infaiibility of the democratic con ' venlion is a myth, a cheat ami a snare. ; Our heatt throbs with meleim al pillsi tion —father, son ami oii-spi ing reunited. The return of the prodigal son fades into common pkicedness. Thus, in the serene placidity of good will, we are only called upon, (ami we feel that we are called upon,) to take I sides in the senatorial contest- to ex press a choice between the three excel lent. gentlemen, who come before the people, anil say, ‘Thy will be done.” We are for T. R. Jones, Esq., of this county, lie is a good man; we believe a pure man ; a young man in the fresh vigor of manhood, sincere, open, able, unambitious, yet with a high sense of honor and a capacity to appreciate the life before him; to fully realize the im portance of carefully carving his way so as to bear the scrutiny of future criti cism. We believe he will do us honor; we believe lie w ill be prompted by a stud ied desire to faithfully represent our peo j pie without partisan bias, and an intent 1 lor universal good. We do not presume j to lead, but. thus tire we moved. We might say as much of Colquitt Carter, cheerfully ami truthfully ; but we are a bit warped by a closer tie of cit izenship. How we dislike !<> oppose him; but we must admit that wo believe Jones is better suited for the place. SEN A TOK HI 1.1,. The last days of Senator 11 ill will be re membered to his undying credit and glory, when much of the political and legal career that made him famous has become a tradition. To conquer power ful antagonists in the forum displayed the highest intellectual ability, but the mightiest enemy remained to subdue — himself. We are all creatures of pride and find it hard to vanquish the rebel lious human part of us. In health and strength and youth and success, we may not feid and acknowledge the necessity of humble reliance upon the supernatural and the blessing of th > Omnipotent. Somebody has said that “the Devil has ' no such robust ally as a strong pulse,” j meaning that when our physical man | hood is in superb condition we arc apt ’ to drift away from the guidance of I’rov , ideuce and rely upon our own frail devi i ces. We do net. say that Mr. Hill was | so circumstanced, any more than the ' majority ot men; but it is certain that . tribulation of the most horrible charac ter, instead of coming to him as a demon of despair, arrive , according to his own confession, as the bearer of light and the promise of eternal reward. A year ago it was published that a certain physi cian, anticipating Mr. Hill’s present ex tremity, advised him to take a weapon and slay himself. We have heard other ■ persons emphatically declare that rath er than endure the torture the great sen ator experiences, they would not hesi- | tate al self-slaughter. Thank God, “the big lien Hili,” as his noble daughter ad . miringly and lovingly used to call him, ' was too sublime in the faith of Christ to ! listen to these whisperings of evil coun sel! He has borne his excruciating l pai •*. like a hero. Ho has exalted in sufli ing the life God gave him. He has endured with Christian martyrdom ajid j resignation the dispensations ol heaven. He calmly awaits the summons of the ■ Lord of tilery, and, thus patient and ■ long enduring, will round out a glorious j death, which opens the gates of God to I final preservance. When the incidents t of his w orldly combats are forgotten, his dying days and their supreme testimony to the goodness of the Almighty in the direst affliction will remain as the most precious bequests of this wonderful Georgian. How many unfortunates have thought to escape pain by shorten- ■ ing thtir lives violently! How sub lime is the lesson Benjamin 11. Hill ' te.-ui.ai the sensual world tha»he n< vet wa* sc appt as when it. st ,n <■>.. > . and tbr.t this ineffable bliss has come, in h'.s d-i'ke.-t hour, neesmse, surrounded ■ with those he loved, his hand reached out time ami clasped the palm of the Re deemer wiio has promise)! to iefresh ali , who are heavy -laden and to conduct the ! wanderer who returs to Him to the gar- ■ j riens that fade nut —to the temples of peace ami joy perpetual. With the | haml of Christ clasped in his; with all human passions purged away; with sins expiated u the fire of anguish; with the confidence of a child and the courage of a true man, Senator Hill J wanders down the vale of time ami trustfully approaches the everlasting sea. —Augusta Chronicle.

We are for Senator Brown—ami that is all, we understand, that can be right- I fully demanded of us as a patriotic citizen of this plantation.—Sam Small. Gen. Gartrell announces himself as an independent candidate for governor. ; We doubt not that he will have a con siderable following.—Cartersville Amer l ican. i Gen.

Stephens is the father of imlependent i an in (ieorgia. 11 is actions have caused more trouble than the actions of any : other man in the state. To honor him j is to honor the enemy of democracy.— Dalton Citizen, formerly. Let’s all tote our own skillet here after ami whip tho independents at their own game. That is just about as sensible as fighting the devil with lire.— < iritliu Sun. The nomination of Stephens for gov ernor and of Dr. Baker, independent, I for state senator in the Bartow district, ■ may be considered as official emlorse ments of Dr. Felton. They completely disarm Jud Clements in his contest, against Felton ami leave him to be the victim of the taunts and ridicule of tiie merciless parson. This is harmony with a vengeance.-- Evening Ilerahl. Our opposition to Mr. Stephens lias ceased. He has been chosen by a ma jority of the democratic party of Georgia to bear its standard for, tiie next two years, ami we bow to its expressed will, believing that, two years hence, the fac tion which placeil him there ami which ; is rapidly gaining the bitter contempt of ■ a large and respectable wing of the par- ! ly, will be powerless to continue the great auction sale of Georgia offices.— I Worth Star. I I , | Air. Stephens has repeatedly refused to j bow to the caucus dictations of the party to which I e professes to belong. Can | he now expect that other people shall do I w hat ho has refused to do ? The majori i ty rule was adopted, Bacon was forced Ito retire (with the old ami honored ! usage of the party) and the miserable ■ farce was accomplished. The party has compromised with its enemies,slaughter- I ed its principles and gone to the dogs— on general principles.—Valdosta Times. The miserable plat lotm is beneath criticism. After repeated promises that it would speak in language that would forever draw the line between Mr. Ste phens and the elements wjth which he i had but recently been coquetting, a | committee upon which there does not ' appear the name of a single man of the : opposition formulates a lot of stale plati | tudes about Jefferson and Madison.— Macon Telegraph di Messenger. Dr. Felton opened the campaign in the seventh district last Tuesday at Carters ville, in a three hours’ speech. He showed, or at least, claimed to show, that there was no issue Between him and Mr. Stephens. Dr. Eelton is one of | the best men in the independent party, I ami it the organized ol the Seventh don’t I use almost superhuman elforts the inde pendents will send him to congress with potent rallying cry of “Stephens ami ! Felton.” Dr. Felton gives his unquali ; tied support to Mr. Stephens.—Griffin Sun. Mr Stephens must have been errone ously quoted when i* was stated that he ; said “ail errors should be corrected j within, and not without, the party.” At any rate he refused to let that dec laration become one of the resolves in the platform of the party. Dr. Felton, Willingham and Law she were potent I enough to scare him from that position. I —Atlanta Herald. We accept the ticket put out by the re ; cent state convention but in doing so de- ■ sire to express a contempt for the plat form or “resolutions” of the convention, upon which the candidates are placed j before the people. We are justified in , using strong language. It is bosh. It was evidently composed by mushroom I politicians. It advocates no line of prin ciple. It is conspicuous in nothing else in so much as in its avoidance of those matters of interest ami importance just before the people. An independent, a coalitionist, or a democrat can alike sub scribe to its terms. It means nothing It is n .* that platfortn-repudiafing indc pen lent- upon which the Constitution promb, .! ; ■ . .R. ~.. tt ,m .. ■.

No matter of stateor federal interest is even touched upon state road lease, taxes, convict system, slate )!■•:/., imlepembmtism, fe-leral af fairs, wa re all of too little importance for the consideration of the convention.
