The conflict is between Dr. Fel
ton and the common people on the
one hand, and Judge Lester,
the politicians and the hat on the
other. Judge Lester was nom
inated because it was supposed
that his war record would make
him available, and by blus
ter and bullying, and with a
flourish of trumpets, the “organ
ized” hope to blind and deceive
the people and carry their cham
pion to congress in a storm of their
own raising. They are appeal
ing to sympathy, prejudice and
1o everything their excited fears
can dictate. But ii will all do
them no good, and the country
no harm. They may shout until
they are hoarse, and tear their
hair like the prophets of Baal,
but it will avail them nothing.
Judge Lester already has an hon
orable and lucrative position,
and all fair minded and reason
able people fail to justify his
covetous desire for Dr Felton's
place. What right has he to
spurn a position that pays him so
well, and that so many would he
proud of, and seek another which
he thinks will pay him better,
give him more notoriety and in
crease his self conceit and self
importance, which are already so
conspicuous? Why should he
step down from the bench to the
hustings and become the leader
of the pack that is hounding af
ter l)r. Felton, the man whom he
should respect and admire for
his acknowledged piety and pa
triotism, or cease to class himself
with those “who honor them that
fear the Lord."
Judge Lester assails Dr. Felton
for beinga politician and a preach
er at the same time, lion, 11.
I*. Bell, the member of congress
from the ninth district, is noton
lv a politician and preacher, hut
he is a brother in law of Judge
Lester to hoot. Is Judge Lester
opposed to Mr. Bell on the same
grounds that he is to Dr. Felton ?

Felton has already whipped
Judge Lester on the stump at

thieves were driven front the
State and honest men could till
the offices, but had to rush in
and grab an office under him—a
poor pitiful office of no use in
God's world to the people and
the State, but a fat paying office.
He never was known to be with
out an office since he was twenty
one years old or else moving
heaven and earth to get one.
He is a chronic office seeker, and
if the Democrats will not give
him one, he falls at the feet of
Radicalism to get it. Otliee hold

The following is an extract
from a speech of Hon. 1). W Vonr
bees, in tlie House of Represent
atives, March 3rd, 1872:
“In 1807, we find it,(\V. A A.
R. R.) paying all expenses, and
yielding SSO 000 per month. At
the same rate, there are $500,000
now retained in the hands of
Blodgett and his accomplices,
(Blodgett only paid $45,000 in
eleven months.) What answer
can be made to this? Will any
one pretend that such a vast sum
was properly expended in repair
ing a road already repaired, in
stocking a road already stock
ed? I find one item of expense
which, however, may indicate
the character of them all.
Twenty-one thousand dollars
were pax! as lawyer's fees to par

services in behalf of this peaceful
corporation during these disas
trous eleven months of its exist
ence, lint the work of spoilla
-1 ton (h<l not stop> with Bullock'*
management. A law was obtain
ed from the Legislature, of which
I have spoken, authorising tin
road to be leased in the interest
of Bullock and his friends. Fn
<ler that law, it was leased for
$25,000 per month, about one
half of its real value. One of
the lessees is a member of the
present cahinent, (Grant's) and
was so when the lease was made,
and another is a distinguished
Republican member of the oth
er branch of Congress.”
You see, dear public, how this
matter was looked upon in Wash
ington. The Ring candidate,Geo.

The Constitution's Funny Matt.
Win. Yarp is the funny man of
the Constitution. Old Si went
to Paris, and he (Win) is trying
to raise a laugh. lie would suc
ceed, perhaps, if (here wasn't so
much malice towards Felton in
his effort to amuse. lie can't
get over the fact of his being
obliged Intake a hack seat in the
county of Floyd. He moved t
Bartow, dose to the church, that
he says sent Felton to Congress.
He, Wm. Yarp, does not build a
church, 1 tit he is running a sun
day school in Felton's chapel, to
gel as much of the influence as
lie can imbibe. Nobody would
have suspected him if lie had not
attacked Felton's motives in
helping to build a church.
Mr. Yarp was in I lie habit. I am
told, of roosting in Bullock’s
Legislature, lie was not only
rock ribbed, but copper botomed
in his polities those days. When
you see Win or any other of these
fellows get so venomous toward*
Felton, you may set it down.they
have done something and are
hiding behind the other*, that
have a faulty record. When
Trammell ran. you could spot
them to a man. Mow Lester,
another one of the King, is run
ning, von find the same crowd
that frequented Bullloek"* tern
pie. to catch the drippings that
fell so plentiful around: just the
same in temper and spirit as |>e
fore. Ihe ( Hn&titufion is the
lohhv organ, and the strikers un
der Bullock are all pets and pro
t eges.
W m. leathered his nest pleuti
fully when it was in order to pa
rade his poverty, and receive
Northern contributions. But
there is no fun in exposing the
gains under Bullock. Poor Bui
lock! they made him a scape
goat for their sins. He was the
cat's paw to draw out the hot
chestnuts, and the grinning
monkeys who helped themselves
jow turn upon him with sneers
and jibes. and every man of them
lias saved the State from ruin, to
here them tell the story. How
the black demon of Radicalism
must chuckle over such willing
tools. — Free I 'res*.
Mil. StkMlKN.s' lloilSKS AND Pi,AT
i-oiiM. —Hon. Alex. H. Stephens
is making a very able canvass in
Georgia with his old carriage
and pair of flee -bitten horses.
He appeals to the people to vote
for him because he is append of
Hayes, who is a fraud, and tells
them that ILayes is more of a
southron thauTilden. The news
paper men of the country, who
have written Mr. Stephens' obit
uary from one to ten times each,
and have learned in that way to
love him, will lie delighted to
see hint return to congress upon
this platform. It is to be hoped
that lie will bring his Ilea bitten
gray horses with him when lie
comes.—A 7 . V. Tribune, rep.
■Still dwelling on “the music
of the looms” in Columbus, the
/inquirer of Thursday says:
“Yesterday seventy looms
were at work, and one hundred
will he moving to-day. The en
tire eight hundred looms and
twenty thousand spindles pur
chased and on hand for this
mammoth structure will com
mence their lively rattle* in a few
months. Then the factory will
have in operation in their three
mills forty live thousand spindles
and one thousand five hundred
and forty looms. No concern in
the South can begin to compare
with it in size, or in quality or
variety mf production. Where
these large edifices stand, twelve
years ago there was a pile of rub
bish, the remains of Federal de
striK’tion. these mills, in a short
time, will have one thousand
nine hundred persons on the pay
roll, representing a population
of four thousand five hundred
souls. Besides, we have four
other cotton mills. They all
consume some fifty hales of cot
ton per day, and soon will take
seventy. The consumption of
over twenty one thousand hales
of cotton is rather surprising for
a ‘dead town,’ is it not ?”
