The desertion of Dr. Felton by Gen eral Wofford is being denounced by all who are familiar with their former per sonal and political relation. The Herald has obtained information that makes the matter look like the blackest kind of ingratitude, but forbears to publish personal history to a greater extent than appears on record, in hopes that Gener al Wofford may see the error of his ways. Understanding, however, that certain facts relating to General 'Wofford’s ap plication for a federal position were in possession of General Longstreet, that gentleman was visited this morning with the following result: “What do you suppose Gen. Wofford means by opposing Dr. Felton at this time 9 ” was askad by the Herald man. “Well,” replied Gen Longstreet, “1 don’tcare to question his motives.” “Did he not apply to you for a federal office last winter, and continue to ask for it all spring?” “Yes; he was recommended by Dr. Felton, and I wrote several letters to the president making special and urgent ap peals in bis behalf.” We understand he said in a speech at Calhoun ‘Mr. Stephens knew Dr. Felton was a republican or he would not have asked him to reccommend Hidden.’ ’now did Gen. Wofford apply to you —as in independent or republican, and did not Dr. Felton urge nis appointment, ‘because of his necessities’?” “As an independent, ready to em brace ideas. Dr. Felton reported that General Wolford was in trouble in bis private affairs, and in feeble health, and rec-commended favorable consideration of his application for a position.” —At- lanta Herald.

After all he was not so thoroughly endorsed. A bare major ity of the voting population in Whitfield would have made him Senator, in spite of Treadwell’s popularity. U. C. THE 43d SENATORIAL DISTRIBT. TRUTHS OF HISTORY. Retrospect of Local Politics—Col. Jones’ Letter Reviewed. Editor Argus : In your issue of the 6tb instant there appeared an open, manly, truthful, and patriotic letter, over the signature of W. C. Carter. Mr. Carter being a candidate for the State Senate, from Murray county, and there being two other candidates for the same office, from said county, he desired that the people of the whole district should know what his claims to the office were. In his letter he showed that Mur ray county was entitled to the Senator this time, and that he was the choice of a majority of the voters of that county, for the position. And, inasmuch as Murray had been true to Whitfield in the last race, the people of Whitfield should vote for the choice ot Murray at the en suing election. The letter was mild, abusing no one: but it brought out a number of very abusive articles from Mr. Jones and his ardent admirers. They all attempted to make the people of this county believe that Mr. Carter had eith er intentionally’ lied, or was so ignorant of the facts, concerning the last race for State Senator, that he ought, rather be sent to the asylum than the State Senate. Mr. Carter is a young man of splendid ability, honest, charitable, and with a heart as kind and a sympathy for his fellow man, as deep as human heart can be. In this campaign truth and fairness rayed out of every word he has uttered, and spoke in every line he has written. Yet, in regard to his open letter he has been termed a liar and a fool. What has he done, or said, to merit such insult? I will examine Mr. Carter's open letter, and the censure it has provoked. I will show that everything he stated in that letter was the truth. I will show’ that Mr. Jones and his ‘‘ardent few” in their assaults on Mr. Carter’s letter have wil fully garbled the political history of the past, for the purpose of misleading what they deemed a deluded people. They’ make the mistake which is common to small politicians, by assuming that the people have not the capacity to detect falsehood when it is set forth with high sounding resolutions and long drawn sentences. The fact is, the people usu ally have a great deal more discretion than they are credited with possessing, and in my judgment, that man who at tempts to succeed through dissimulation and misrepresentation will,ultimately fill a political grave. The greatest of Amer ican statesmen once said, that “all .pub lic questions should be treated with can dor and truth.” The small politician will, likewise, come to grief, if he does not heed the advice. But we digress. What are the facts. Let us not do as Mr. Jones and other traducers of Mr. Carter’s letter did, begin at the ending and make up the balance out of w hole cloth. Mr. Carter said that two years ago the people of his county had the right to support Mr. Treadwell, if they prefer red him to Mr. Jones, inasmuch as Whitfield county was then entitled to the senator, and there were three indepen dent candidates running in this county. In the Argus, of the 16th inst., the fol lowing correction is made: “Instead of saying there was no indi cation by which the other counties could judge of Whitfield’s choice, Mr. Carter wrote in his letter, last week, there was ‘no primary election to indicate,’ etc. We make this correction because the error was the fault of this office. Then, Mr. Carter’s words were as fol lows: “Whitfield had selected no man as her choice, nor was there a conven tion or primary election to indicate who Whitfield wished to represent her, nor was there a proposition made by any’ of the candidates to settle the question of choice.” Now, the meaning of Mr. Carter’s lan guage is plain, that is to say, that Whit field county had held no convention for the purpose of nominating a man for the senate, nor had there been a primary election, or any authorized act of the people of the county by which Murray could know who a majority of the peo ple of Whitfield wished to put forward as her candidate. But Mr. Jones and his friends, and I might add, nearly all of bis friends, as soon as they saw Mr. Carter’s letter, ap parently and to all intentsand purposes, became furious and pawed the air, “ca vorted,” and fumed. They all rushed to the quill, that is to say, Mr. Jones, himself in the lead, followed by “Obser ver,” “Fair Play,” “Fido” —and Broth er Whitman, ot the Citizen, bringing up the rear, with a great array of pretended facts, from the mangled records of gar bled history, to prove that Mr. Jones was, two years ago, regularly and fairly nominated by the good citizens of Whit field for the senate. In other words, that Mr. Carter was a liar or a fool when he wrote his letter. Oh ! how an honest I heart swells with indignation in tracing ' the history of this stupendous political j fraud, practiced by a conclave of ward j politicians, upon t e unnotiified and un suspecting democracy of this county. But they quoted iu four different places, in the papers, resolutions which they say were passed at a convention whicli met at Dalton on the 16th of August, 18- 60, nominating Jones for the senate. — They are afraid to go back and publish the call for this convention, to show what were its objects and purposes. They will not go back to the beginning, as I have before said, but garble the re cords to delude, what they deem, the poor, ignorant people. The convention of 16th of August, 1880, met for the sole purpose of sending delegates to the con gressional convention at Rome. They 1 have published the proceedings of said I convention. 1 will go back a step fur ther, and show’ by the call the powers and duties of that convention : “The Democratic Executive Commit tee yf Whitfield county, at a meeting, held in Dalton, Ga., this 31st day of July 1880, organized by electing W. B. Wells, Chairman, and J. P. Clemants, secreta- | ry, and earnestly recommended the fol lowing: That a county convention be held at Dalton, on the 16th day of Au gust, for the purpose of selecting dei.e- I GATES to the CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION’, to meet at Rome, Ga., on the 18th of August. * * It is also recommended that at said district meetings delegates be appointed to a county convention, hereafter to be called, to appoint del egates to a Senatorial Convention to nominate a candidate from the 43d dis trict, THE TIME OF SAID COUNTY SENATO RIAL CONVENTION TO BE HEREAFTER I I K 1 D and .published by the Executive Com mittee from Whitfield county.” So it will be seen that the call I was for the purpose of sending delegates i to the Rome Csnvention. No call was ever made for the county senatorial con- I vention, above referred to. But. Mr. | Jone’s political clansmen heard of this i Congressional Convention, and desired to have their man nominated at ti.it | convention for state senator. They well i knew it would be a fraud upon other ’ persons who might desire to have a j chance at the nomination. They well I knew that the organized democrats of the county had been told in the call above j referred to, that they should have notice by publication, when there was to be a convention to nominate a state senator. j But this was an opportune moment to j steal a march on the unsuspecting peo ple, and they came down on the conven j tion “like the wolf on the fold.” I am ■ told that they kept quiet till the congres- I sional conventional had elected dele i gates, and was in the act of adjourning I B i ne die, when Mr. “Observer,” of the N. G. Citizen, arose, and drew from the fathomless depths of his pant’loon’s pocket, certain resolutions concerning Mr. Joues, and asked the Chair for per ; mission to read them, an 1 they were i read while the members of the conven tion moved out in silence, a few of Jones’ I friends voting yea. 0, rock-ribbed and j anc.ient-as-the-hills Democracy! what hast thou done to Jones, that he should bring reproach upon tbee, while thy locks, as the Independents say, are whitening for the grave? How can a follower of organized de mocracy ever vote for a man who has thus, clandestinely entered into the temple of its deliberations and asked its assembled delegates, fresh from the peo ple, with a limited authority, to enlarge that authority, ami perpetrate on their people political forgery? How can independents who reject the edicts of ordinary conventions, on ac count of alleged fraud and trickery, vote for a man wiio publishes to the world, with unblushing effrontry, that he secur ed the indorsement of a convention with out authority, over candidates for the same office, without notice, and over a people without warning; “My Fathers !” Ship of State ! where art thou drifting? We raise no quarrel with the conven tion, tor its members, generally, took no partin the matter of endorsing Mr. J., I as we are told. If it had acted as a body , it exceeded its authority, and its de j crees were not binding. j That a few of the town politicians en j dorsed Jones, at the Courthouse, no one | has ever denied—that the Democracy of | Whitfield county nominated or endorsed j him no sane man, who loves the truth, ! will ever believe. That there was an at tempt to throttle a'Congressional con yention and stitle the voice of the people is a matter of history. Then were the counties of Murray and Gordon bound to vote for any particular man, as the people of Whitfield had presented no one of choice? Jones’ organ declared in its issue of the 19th of Aug. 1880, that “ that was a level-headed committee whicli convened last Monday and unan imously recommended Col. Thomas R. Jones.” Not a word about any conven tion nominating Mr. Jones —committees of town politicians are usual!}’ level headed, when it comes to stealing a march. No question about that. The local warfare was raging, Mr. Jones’ clansmen had again “gathered at his call and were following him for venge ance,” but the “Eastern Simoon” which it is said the Col. had invoked to sweep j over the country and wipe Independent | ism out of existence was seen gathering, nearer home than “ Nubias burning sands,” and before its howling breath of vindication, Mr. -Tones and the “ level headed committee” of town politicians went down, and S. G. Treadwell, a clev er gentleman, who had been for seven long years, and more, a citizen of Whit field county, bore off the field, the palm of victory. Let the scribblers. “Observer,” “Fair-Play” “Fido” and others; heed the edvice of Mr. Carter when he wrote; “In the heat of this campaign, may principl: be preserved, truth remem bered, and right prevail.” If possible, brother Whitman should observe the above, for in his issue of the 14th inst., he says: “S. G. Treadwell was Murray county’s candidate, nominated by Mur ray,” when every voter of that county and every informed citizen of Whitfield well knows that assertion is untrue without the shadow of foundation. He will pursue these fabricated misrepre sentations no further, for it seems that Fraud and Falsehood in this campaign, with reckless riot, are masquerading in high carnival. But the organized democrats who love fairness in conven tion; the independents who scorn handicuffed suffrage; the sons of sweat and toil, who shrink from the trades of ward politicians^-the honest yeomanry I of the district will remember and re buke. Retrospect. A Letter from Hon. W. C. Carter. Dalton, Ga., Sept. 19, 1882. To the Editor of The Argus; Allow me to reply, briefly as possible, to the letters of Messrs. T. R. Joues and T. D. Bard, in your last Issue, charging me with misrepresenting facts, etc. And, Ist, To relieve Mr. Jone’s “rack- ; ed brain,” I hasten to suggest to him, that my allusion to the “Caravan buried in Nubia’s burning sands,” was a bur lesque of some high falutin passage in I his own speech against Rev. W. C. Rich- ' ardson, t wo years ago, in which he call- i ed for a cyclone to sweep the indepen- I dents out of existence. Mr. Jones claims that “in pursuance of a call of the democratic executive i committee, ‘A Mass Meeting’ was held ■ in the court house in Dalton” in 1880,and I passed a certain preamble and resolutions presenting his name as Whitfield’s ’ choice for senator from this district. But what are the facts? On 31st of July, 1880, (see North Geor- | gia Citizen sth of August 1880,) the dem ocratic executive committee recommend thatacounty convention be held at Dal ton on the 16th of August, “to cleet del egates to the congressional convention to be held at Rome, Ga., on the 18th of August. The counnitte also recommend ed a county convention, hereafter to be called toappoint delegates to a senato rial convention to nominate a candidate for senator for 43rd district. i The first convention met and elected delegates to the Rome convention, that done, their functions were at an end, i they were not called, nor chosen in rel- erence to the senatorial nomination, and so far as that was concerned, they could only resolve themselves into an unau thoritative body. Under the usages of the party they could not speak officially, or authoritatively as to the senatorial nomination. Nevertheless they passed resolutions declaring that “ it was not necessary to call a convention to nominate a candi date for Senator for the 43rd Senatorial district” and presenting the name of Col Jones as the choice of the people for Senator. Personally and as individ uals, they had a perfect right then to express their opinions and preference; but their preference was not binding on the party, nor could they under the usa ges, annul the authority of the executive committee, who had recommended a convention. Does not this very record quoted by both Messrs. Jones and Bard prove that I did not misrepresent the facts; that my statement was exactly true, that there had been no convention—no primary election, to indicate Whitfield’s choice for Senator? Col. Jones knows that it would he ri diculous to claim that he could be nom inated for Senator by the convention called to elect delegates to the Congres sional convention at Rome. Therefore he claims that be was nominated, not by that convention, but by a mass meeting. held on the same day, Kith of August, 1880. Now who composed that mass meet'iig? Noone claims that anybody was present or had notice, except the delegates to that convention. Mr. Bard asserts that “ every district in the coun ty was represented” in that convention. But the efficient record, signed and produced by himself, shows that in that he is in error. Four districts were not represented, viz: Varnells, Red Clay, Old Tenth, and Upper Tenth. Then how many composed this “ mass meet ing?” How could Col. Jones fall into the error of calling such a fragmentary meeting of persons a “ mass meeting.” Col. Jone’s subsequent vote is easily ex plained, by the fact, that many voters were made to beleive, that he was the regularly nominated candidate of the democratic party, and that Messrs. Treadwell and Richardson were inde pendents Hence that vote is no in dication of what their choice would have been, had they thought themselves free to exercise it, as against a supposed regular nomination. The heading to Mr. Bard’s letter read s as follows: “T. D. Bard, Secretary, of the regularly called and organized meet ing of Whitfield county democrats, that recommended Jones, remarks.”. This is calculated, if not intended, again to mislead and deceive voters, by making them believe now, as then, that Jones was regularly nominated. But the rec ord signed by Mr. Bard himself, proves that Col. Jones’was not regularly nomi nated. It proves more—that he and his friends were afraid to risk a convention or a primary election. Hence the effort to force him on the party, in violation of all usage. Col. Jones says that “be never issued any political scrip, or re ceived any, and never will.” If the “res olutions,” quoted by him and Mr. Bard, are not political scrip, and the worst kind of bogus scrip at that, what are they? As to the statement of Col. Jones “ on the authority of a personal friend” that I applied for aid in the Murray primaries, with an understand ing that “then He (I) would ask noth ing further from the people—than that they semi me (Jones) to the Senate” it is not true. 11' Col. Jones believes or expects oth ers to believe such a silly story, his “ brain must be “ rack d” indeed. By usage the Senatorship belongs to Mur ray this time. How then could any one expect Jones to be elected after 1 had been nominated by Murray. What ob ject could I have in seeking the Murray nomination unless 1 expected to be elec ted. Can any one whose brain is not cracked or “ racked” believe that I would want a nomination merely to be beaten. The story is too ridiculously absurd to merit further notice from me. Mr. Bard claims for Col. Jones “ the privilege of a seat in the legislative coun cils of this State.” 1 claim no such “privilege” for myself, but if the people whose “privilege” it is to elect whom they choose, think proper to send me to I the Senate, 1 shall esteem it a high . honor and serve them to the best ot my ability. Yours respectfully. W. U, Carter. To the Editor of The Argus: Two years ago, Col. Tom Jones was ultra organized. He claimed to be the regularly nominated candicate of the or ganized for the state senate, ami wanted independents swept from the face of the earth by a cyclone. He now claims to be an innependent; pretends to be dis gusted with the trickery of the organized bosses, who, he says went back on him after he had been regularly nominated. On the principle that, While the lamp holds out to burn, The vilest sinner may return. I have been solicited to vote for him as an independent. But the fact is Tom , tried to be a trickster and a boss over the organized himself, and failed. His pretended nomination was as shabby I as ever was attempted. Even the organ ized couldn’t stand it. And I every much fear that Tom hasn’t “returned” worth a cent.
