dalton M. A. WRENCH, Editor and Proprietor. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1882. Thb party man who kicks after the election, may be said to ha re the amir gripes. The election of Governor Colquitt as ■enator ia most favorably received by the preen of the country. k aoM the number of contents proposed the integrity of the next congress will t>e thoroughly tested. TniCitir.cn editor prognostfcah** as sadly deficient in judgement over ths choice of U. 8. senator as lie has in other matters of the past. How would Joe Brown and Alfred 11. Colquitt do for President ami vice Presi dent in 1884? The party-nt-large may need spins of their kind of hosa'ng. To ovr mind there is a dishonest dang about the how) of “Georgia bossism’’ from those fellows who have been so loud in their denunciation of Indepen dent! Mil . Tut Atlanta Constitution says that the re-districting of Georgia eleven yc*rs ago was for the purpose of demo cratic success, but now, as the negro districts have proved the most reliable democratic strong holds, and the white districts have given the only trouble, it suggest districts of the most compact formation. Now, let the curtain drcp. Tub Georgia malcontents, or those who stood to the organization’ which they claim, after the election, to be in the hands of a combination of bosses, talk about reorganizing for the nextelee tion. Bro. Whitman seems to be tick ling the Lail of the forlorn hope up this way. Wz announce, to-<lay, by request’ a list of young gentleman for alderinim. The selection of names is a bold nifcve on our local chess board, ami while it may occur to some people as a mere prank, we know that the ticket is ten dered in good faith. They are all capa ble representative young men of the best elements of our community. They are thoroughly trained in the practical requirements of life, as is evinced by their individual successes. Every in centive which could inspire their offi cial sanction must look to Dalton’s fu ture progres. We like(the ticket. Tub recent outbreak of small pox st Chattanooga, and the scattering of pes tilence from that quarter all around us, admonishes providential citizen that something should he done to pro- I tectour town. There is, at all times a j regular influx of Chattanooga people kite our place. Wherever enforced vac i tuition has, been*.,resorted to the disease has been stamped out. Atlanta evidences this fact. Our city Esthers should act at once. The cost would only be a few hundred hundred dollars, A tew cases would cost thousands. Vaccination is most needed, where it can only be reached by enforcement. Thu Citizen attempts monstrous se verity at the vote of Senator Jones for Gov. Colquitt for U. 8. Senator. We cannot surmise why this running over of bitterness on the part of its editor after the battle, when, if he represents a ma jority sentiment as he claims, and has, at no time before pulled his glittering blade, in defence of a wronged constitu ency. His present slogon sounds too much like “Ain’t we brave, Nancy.” The fact of the busines is that Mr. Jones took every opportunity to reach the sen- timent of bis people, as to the senatorial contest, ami Colquitt, of all those before the legislature, was their choice. More than one'attempt has been made to turn thia county against Colquitt, and each time has I wen so disgracefuly insignifi cant us to the make his opponents the laughing stock of the community for their weakness. Ho has made a good governoa—he will make a better senator —may be not not so brilliant as Hill— but more conservative and useful. The reflection that he is to be the tool of Brown is as contemptible as it iegratui tous. Io the last Gainesiville Southron, Hon. Emory Speer comes out in an open address to hie friends, thanking them for their devotion to his cause, in w hich he assures them that w hile success did not make him vain glorious, defeat can not make him despondent. He assures that he is young and »trong, and has a useful and popular profession, which will employ him; and that he returns to the people his commission as representa tive, with the proud consciousness that be has done his duty. At the late election in New York City, a Democrat pa mod Wm. 11. Kennedy, and a Republican who was also named Wm. H. Kennedy, were candidates for Coroner. The result showed that Win. H. Kennedy was elected, but as there was nothing on the ballots to inilieate which Kennedy was the lucky man, there appears to be no way of deciding the question. The Democrats claim that their Kennedy was elected, while tlie friends of the Jiepiil>lican*Kennedv, contend with equal plausibility, that tlieir candidate won the race. It is an interesting muddle. TIIE SPIRIT OF I>ISF.UPTION. Nothing more full) illustrates the pecu liarities of Georgia politics,perhaps,than the recent.charges and consequent dis cussions growing out of the U. S. Sena torial election. The Arhus has held up on the ques tion, not from the same motives which impelled the Rome Courier, but not en tirely from unselfish instincts. We have felt from the first issue of the Ar hus, considering its phenoniinal popu lai ity, that there was a mission for its coming, and if it shall, in ever so hum ble a manner, do no more than blaze the way for the eventual obliteration of war sympathies and passions from our poli tics, and entomb them in the sanctity of the southern heart, only as a memory of the valor of our section, we shall feel that a duty has been well performed. , From the standpoint of a common na- i tionality, echoed and re echoed from the ■ highest sources of our body politic, it cannot but appear to the thoughtful , and candid mind as both inconsistant I and hurtful to reflect the sunshine of j confederate glories ami the shadows of I its passions over and around the selfish struggles of local aspiration. It is like* the ghoul work of the grave yard,ami the dragging of the drapery of mourning into the sloughs of filth and vice. In this work we bane felt that the sur est amidmost patriotic method of the undertaking was in bringing men face to face in the bitterness and contention of opposite issues, thus nerving them to the call that should come in the interest and glory of a common country. Sentimental‘democracy at the south baa so solidified its body as to cast a suspicion of folly at the efforts of all contending elements arrayed* against its embankment, and uur work has only been as the eb and tide, softening and drilling the movable particles of its bulk, that the unbalancing of its gravity might result in a new party of princi ples, which shall become a responsible factor Indore the;people, and force poli tics to a higher plane than the mere sus picious and bickerings of personal dis appointment. Thus we,have thought it the work of patriotic policy to.lndulge in no side sharp shooting where actual engage ment wasjineyitable,;'from,the very na ture of the inharmonious results sure to follow the disappointments of the incon gruous elements massed together in this state ns a solid political family. Wv have cherished ;the belief, from the very first coming of Gov. Colquitt into our active state polities, that it was an incident looking to the final oblitera tion of organized solidity, and we have never lost faith. Diflerring from inde pendent leaders, we have also nursed the consolation of Gov. Brown’s final acceomplishrnent of events which are now sending their flickering shadows in' to every nook and corner of the state. And while never doubting the political manipulations of Gov. Brown, in which Singular happenings have followed in rapid succession, we have pacified our inclination to indulge discussion in the interest of local contests, by the higher consolation of what was sure, to follow. Whatever might have been the pur poses and ambitions which have again drawn Gov. Brown into the agitated cauldron, or the maneuvers which have insured his success’s, he has at all times represented a conservative and progres sive sentiment entirely in sympathy w ith our own ; and we do not believe that he has overstepped the bounds of legiti mate politics in his scheming. The ; Macon“ one element of Georgia democracy, has persistently charged all manner of trad ing, corruption, and combination as the I p >wer,of Brown and Colquitt. Ibis has followed through a respecta ble element of papers, from.various sections. oaThis smothering volcanic tire was patched ovar the bursting leaks in the gubernatorial convention, but has never been quilted. The indignation meeting at Augusta, sailed by the domineering utterances of the chronicle, the enthusiastic reeep tiou of Black’s speech before the legisla ture, and the character of his generali ties, indicated a disntfeCtion, the danger of which can only be soothed by the pro fessions of party loyalily by the agita tors. The necessity of Goy. Brown’s recent letter, in which he feels called upon to deny the existence of bossism in Geor gia, and to appeal to the generosity of the young democracy, this year so lib erally recognized, as an evidence that the party has really fallen into new hands, andjdl that is done is the effect of popular, overpowering expression of the people. The Rome Courier criticises Gov. Brown’s letter and points to it as the clinching evidence of his determination to make Colquitt C. 8. Senator, and apologetically -admits a belief in the “capital understanding” between Brown, Colquitt ami Gordon, and the present election of Colquitt as the final of the transaction. The simple apology of Courier for not sooner expressing it self, was that it was so much interested in the defeat of Dr. Felton, and was afraid to complicate tlie canvass in this j • Harriet, with an idea which had been ' Dr. Felton’s chief capital in his various races—that of bossism and ring power. We simply revert to these facts as an e\ idence that politics shall not become - j pacified in Georgia even with a solid del egation of democratic congressmen, and that those who have gone into this work of regeneration with a consciousness of right doing, may take courage. The skirmish has just commenced. > The only vexed question is, as to which aide the Independents (ball be- i come a part. PUBLIC SENTIMENT. Reeklemlyi Expressed by Various Opinions of these Nauxhtv Times. Vennor predicts a succession of cold waves for December. A perfect flood of prohibitory and ( local option bills deluges the Legisla ture. The Macon Telegraph estimates that about 75,(MX) white men in Georgia never cast a vote. An Augusta minister says that lawyers oppose prohibition through policy, and editors through ignorance. The Atlanta Herald fears that after this general assembly adjourns a new revision of the code will bo necessarily in order. Senator Baker introduced a bill Mon day making betting on elect ions a crime, and its adoption would undoubtedly be in the interests of public morality. It is to be regretted that the Macon Telegraph has pitched into Gov. Ste phens at this early stage of his adminis tration because he has issued a few par dons. The proposed amendments to the constitution of Virginia abolishing the capitation tax were adopted by the peo ple at the late election by a large majori ty- It is grieving the friends of Blount and Hardeman that they must both be thrown into the same district and the one, or the other, necessarily deprived of a re-election to congress.—Herald. The distinction of being the youngest member of the Forty-eighth congress is supposed to lie between George Yaple, of Michigan, and John E. Lamb, of In diana. Both are under 30. The Post Appeal says: It is quite probable that the Legislature will ad journ at an early day. In that event, an adjourned session will be held next sum mer. “Gath” predicts that the manufactur ing fever in the South will develop a protective tariff sentiment that will overwhelm the Democratic anti-tariff papers, and compel them to change their tactics. Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, says: “This country is a young man’s country. It is ruled by its young men. The young men are to the front always, and always must be. Old issues are al most entirely exhausted.” We believe, with Governor Stephens, that the general assembly can finish all its essential work in forty days limit. If It does not do sc, the people will know who to blame for the doliance, delay and cost. In the above sentiment the Arhus fully agrees with the Atlanta Evening Herald. There seems to bo it general desire in the legislature to avoid any gerryman dering schemes in the re-districting of the state. The call is for close compact districts. The fear is that should a ger rymander be apparent there will be many independent revolts in the next congressional campaign.—Herald. With two such men in tho senate as Brown and Colquitt, Georgia will be far in the lead of the southern states in democratic ability and character. Both gentleman are pronounced protection ists, and are among the most progres sive and useful statesmen in tho coun try . —Chattanooga Tiines. An increase of the salaries of tho Judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts is urged, on the ground that the best legal talent of the State should be called to these positions. But is there in the State any better legal.talent than that possessed b» the lawyers who seek the bench with the present salaries?— ' Rome Courier. The follow ing Washington dispatch of the 19th inst., is published by the Post- Appeal: Emory Speer, who was defeat ed for re-election to Congress, from the 9th district of Georgia, denies the report that he will act with the Republicans this winter, and declares his intention of asserting his independence by going back into the Democratic party. The following opinion from the Greensboro Herald is worthy of consid eration : “In our judgment the six offices of sheriff", clerk of the superior court, or dinary, tax receiver, tax collector could in nearly every county in the state he filled by three men as well as six. If this be true, then the duties of those I several offices could be discharged with ! less expense to the government, and atj the same time with greater eompensa- i tion to the office-holders.” The freight blockade on the E. T. V. A- R. R., which lias been existing at Cleveland has been cleared awav. More universally recommended than any proprietary medicine made. A sure and reliable tonic, Brown’s Iron Bitters.

PLAIN TRUTHS The blood is the foundation of life, it circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible. If disease has entered the system the only sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood. These simple facts are well known, and the highest medical authorities agree that nothing but iron will restore the blood to its natural condition; and also that all the iroti preparalions hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause head ache, and are otherwise injurious. Brown’s Iron Bitters will thor oughly and quickly assimilate with the bloo.i, purifying and strengthen ing it. a:i 1 thus drive disease from any part of the system, and it will not blacken the teeth, cause head ache or const’] ation, and is posi tively n„i injurious.
