of the last seventeen years, which
one was right and which was
wrong, Dr. Felton or Judge Les
ter J Which evinced the truest,
broadest and most far reaching
statesmanship in 1860, the one
who voted to plunge ns in (lie
outer darkness of secession, with
all its bloody horrors of death
and tire, and ruin, or the one who
forecasting the future with the
eye of a statesman, advised us to
••bear the ills we hail lather than
fly to others we know not of j”
I shall make no auswei to this
fearful inquiry. On the contrary,
I shall leave it to the numberless
graves which dot, every hillside
and valley throughout tin* south
to the hundreds and millions
of our property w hich have been
swept out of existence to the
billions of public and other in

it to these graves, these wasted
millions, these mined bankrupts,
'these blighted hearthstones, and
the late horrors of reconstruction,
to make answer for the people
who still suffer, and whose chil

w ill suffer after them.”
The above is not ours. It is

I'o the h n 1,1 ami h n't tint* :
Do von recollect as far back as
the year 1855 that was the know
nothing year, and a great many
thought they would rise tip with
that huge ftmener hating party,
and become the saviours of this
glorious land ot’ ours front fttrren
ers and their influence. M\ old
man, he.jilted that party he al
ways did hate them nasty broken
Innguage Dutch, Irish. French,
and ot It el furreners, and so did
young (Jeorge N. Lester; hejined
too, and he was the great know
nothing orator in them days; ho
splurged and spoke all about ; lie
even attempted to debate with
that noble old Homan. Howell
Cobb. Oh. I tell you what! our
George was a hero know nothing.
1 heard he got sorter cooked
when old Cold), some w here lip
in Cherokee, told that joke about
dad being under the hay. That
w as George's lirst political speak
ing to any extent. When the
know nothing party died out. lie
jined the organized, and he lias
Ijeen organizing and mixing ever
since with most any party that
come along. He lately jined that
conspiracy to impeach that good
and upright old man, Noel B.
Knight. He wanted to be judge
hii'clt. and,could not wait until
THK FIELD AND FIRESIDE—MARIETTA. (DA.) Till KhDAY. OCTOBER in. I*7S
a Methodist Governor wa? elect
ed ; so In* jilted witli some others
of his Bl ackstoner brothers and
they wrote a very affectionate let
ter to Judge Knight and told the
old man to step down and off that
bench, as George Lester wants to
be judge. They even carried the
case to the legislature, but it was
no go. Judge Knight whipped
the tight, and that was the end of
1 hat little mean conspiracy.
Next, you hear ot Lester bolt

Now. <e&rgoJf wobltl have own

you, old fellow ; too many truth
ful old mew yet living who knows
all about it ; you had better have
justified your course than to have
gone and called so many folks
’•‘tin mitigated liars.”
Aud then that little home com,
missioned if furrein immigration.
That was a square transacting so
far as you was concerned. You
needed the money, and if you had
nut got it some other good triend
of Bullock would. But, Mr. Citi
zen, did it not look mighty strange
for a great hero know nothing or
ator, one who had informer years
been so powerfully opposed to all
kinds of furreners, to become the
home commissioner of Dutch iin
ignition, and tie spending tlious
amis ot' I lie people's money in
circulars and appeals begging tin
reners to come and settle among
us, after abusing and cussing them
so bad when he was a big know
nothing. Powerful strange things
occur in this nineteen century !
And will wonders never cease '{
I read that great cock and bull
story in the Constitution of the
27th nil. Did you ever see such
bosh before ? The old daddy of
the Constitution can take down
his sign—Citizen can beat him all
hollow on lnincunib stories. Col.
Carey Styles ain't nowhere now’.
Big Ingin come on the track!—
Why, Mr. Citizen has appointed
hisself a returning board, and
comes forth with as much assur
unce as them Louisiana tellers.
Wells, Anderson A Cos., did when
they counted Hayes in as Presi
dent. Why, according to Citi
zen's figures, if old Dabney can
get the Potter investigation com
mittee to come down here and
make a witness out of Cit izen and
iiis pal, they would make a report
that would count Dabney in (Jon
gross, and he could bring a suit
against Unde Sam and get pay
for full time ever since the 4511i
Congress met. He would be sure
to recover the amount if he would
give Luster a little retainer to
talk the matter up before Con
gress, when begets there ! Talk
about good witnesses ! Why old
Mrs. .leaks would stand no chance
against such a truthful witness as
Citizen.
1 want to say a few words about
that little retainer what Lester
got from Joseph Brown. 1 don’t
think the judge ought to have
any regrets about that, except
that the amount was not bigger,
and more of the same sort. Any
other organized lawyer would
have done likewise, but then,
judge, them retainer dodges dont.
recommend a feller very strong
,to send him to Congress. Too
many Joe Browns up there, who
want to hire retainers, and make
witnesses out of. Now, Mr. Citi
*en, you can rest for the present.
I must say a few words to that
hero of the organized. Col. Carey
Styles, the old daddy of the Con
titutiun. Wan'l and a bully .job to
undertake to interview him about
the situation in Cherokee and the
Seventh district ' Wouldn't you
have liked to have been behind
the curtains anti peeped through
a crack, and heard Carev tell till
he knew about Cherokee, A c. * —
Wan t them bully figures lie gave,
and so convincing 1 They were
as good argument as Bill Arp's
snake stories are for Lester. Mv
advice to Col. Carey i? for him to
move up a little higher in Pick
ens, Gilme r or the state of Dade.
There ain’t so many folks up there
to fool with his Modoc stories.

Judge Lester Beal.
in the Field and Fives t tie :
The night after Judge Lester
made a speech at Brownsville, in
Paulding countv, he went to a
g|| *
gentleman's house in the country,
tn r emain all night. This gentle
Parian, at whose house the Judge
stopped, was of course a strong
Lesterite, and desirous of know
ink from Judge Lester himself
the chances of his election, ques
tioned him to that effect. "Well."
said Judge Lester, “ / knov' /<nn
BE AT, but 1 am going round
ktckiny nj> the thunks /" (They
must burn very dimly.) The lady
of the house overheard the dole
f ful remark, and afterwards, in
conversation with her father, who
happened to be*a Felton man told
him what she heard Judge Lester
tell her husband. So the year
ling club don't lmot him up sulli

American Pianos Abroad.
V LEAPING BALTIMORE FIRM ESTAB
LISHES A BRANCH IIOI’SE
IN LONDON.
It i> interesting and gratifying
to note the fact that Messrs. Win.
Knabe A Cos., one of Baltimore's
leading manufacturing linns, has
been solicited by a great London
music house to establish tin agen
cy in that city for the sale of
their pianos throughout Great
Britain. The London firm re
ferred to is the leading music
house of the English metropolis,
Messrs. Metzler A Cos., of Great
Marlborough street, whose estab
lishnient is familiar to all Amer
icans who travel abroad. This
gives to Messrs. Knabe A Cos., an
agency covering all of Great Brit
: tain and also an outlet for their
instruments throughout conti
nental Europe. It is, of course,
unnecessary to speak of the ex
cellence ol the Knabe pianos, but
while they are so widely knpwn
throughout the United States
their reputation abroad and the
demand for them in other coun
tries than ours, to such an extent
as to prompt the leading London
firm to purchase them directly,
is au event in the piano trade of
America worthy of special men
tion. Baltimore is tobeeongrat
ulated upon the enterprise of
such a wide awake and public
spirited house as that of Knabe
Cos., through whose efforts our
manufactures have gained alien
viable reputation in other coun
tries as well as the United States.
Messrs. Metzler A Bro.'s repre
sentative visited Baltimore a few
days ago and closed the final ar
rangements with Messrs. Knabe
& Cos., leaving with them large
orders and bespeaking an extcii
sive business in the early future.
A large shipment of grand and
upright pianos—the styles most
desired in European cities—was
made during the present week,
and it is probable that Messrs.
Knabe A Cos. will find it neeessa
ry to increase their force of em
ployees to meet this extra de
tuand, as their large force is now
taxed to its fullest capacity in
supplying the home trade for
their instruments.
W ; e clip the above from the Bal
timore Gazette. It only does jus
tice to one of our southern on- ,
terprises which we all should
patronize anil esteem, being the
best, and especially worthy ofj
favor as the Georgia Agency for
this well known piano is the fa
vorite firm of Atlanta. Messrs.
Phillips A Crew.
