ISIS. fcOM.WI MCA I'm.] Letter from i,G<‘n. Toombs on the v Flection Franchise. ICvKWfBODV HEAD IT AS IT IS IMCOH- j TANT. Washington, Sept. 80 187 E i DkahSih: Yours of the 27th | lias been duly received. The j constitution of this State was a-j (lopfed on the 11th of December, j 1877, and not in January, 1878,] this correction removes one eij the difficult ies suggested, (see ar ! tide 12, seR 2, par. one and two.) 1 The governor's proclamation had j nothing todo with the ratification j of the instrument; it only an- i nounced the fact that it had been ratified before by the people ac cording to law, which ratification and not the prodlanmtion, made it the organic law of the state. Article 2, sec. 1, par. 11, declares who shall be electors (except per sons excluded by subsequent sec tions.) Such electors, besides oth or qualifications therein named, “Shall have paid all taxes which may hereafter be required of him ami which he may have had an opportunity of paying agreeably to law except for the year of the election,” There were good rea sons for net compelling voters to ! pay the taxes levied tor the year ■of the election as a prerequisite Ito voting. Elections may he held any day in the year; the pol icy of law gives the taxpayers all the time within the year that | the public service will allow in which to pay taxes. Elections may be held at a very inconven , ient time for tax payer, and there fore the constitution is satisfied if the tax payer pays his taxes at | any time in the whole year. 1 can set* no difficulty in the ques tion. It is true that the oath in the same section prescribed for elector is awkwardly worded, and 1 somewhat obscure, but its con \ st ruct ion must be governed by the i qualifications prescribed for an elector, which removes till diffi culty from the question. I shall ]go to Atlanta and shall he there sometime attending court. Mrs. Toombs' health is very poor still, some slight improve ment. 1 am very truly ami sincere ly, Your friend, R. Toombs. Hie object of this letter was to set at rest the threat of the Let te riles that every man who had not paid his taxes should not vote. The votes of elector* cannot he ; challenged on the. oth of Noe. — Every man is at liberty to pay them by the 11th of December— a year alter the ratification of the constitution. Now if they fry to stampede Hie colored voters at (lie polls you will see some fun. Let the colored voters see who are trying to oppose them. It is not the new constitution nor the people, hut tlie Bullock Ij'xtvr/ /e.v. Voter. I (Jomiunnicutetl. _i Senator (Jordon's Speech! AT SI OVER CREEK, ILOYO COUNTY, GA. To the Field and Fireside : Gen. (Jordon wants to he re-e --lected Senator. He has had that event in his mind’s eye, ever since lie was elected the first time. He is a great speaker, I mean he speaks a great deal. He is profuse in speech making at some times and seasons. lie declined to speak in the fifth district, because of ill health ! in his family. That is too close! by home —as he lives in Atlanta, i He is able to speak in the Sev- | enth. The ill health of his family ! did not interfere in speaking a j little, distance from home. tie spoke in Floyd county, on the fonrth. He says it “Independents” become respectable in Georgia 1 blood and carnage will mark this ; land, lie has opened his batter ies On the independents of Geor- i gia. He has openly allied himself j with the Bullock c’timocrats. He i the champion of Lester, Tram- ' moll and Co.—lie left hisSenato rial seat to rebuke Dr. Felton—a democrat whose record is without “spot or blemish” according to the Atlanta Constitution. He does not think Independents respectable, lie says you must not encourage Felton, that would help to make them respectable. He raised the bloody shirt, and shouted the war whoop. The Rome Tribune says : “Behold the until with his military fame llam ing about him to give importance to his threat—descending from his high position in flie United States Senate— declaring that blood will cover the land if the party that elevated him to the distinction is defeated.” He is very severe on Dr. Felt on. Felton and his friends are not a respectable party in his opinion. This is a grave charge. We propose to compare some votes given by Felton and Gordon—and leave the issue with the people. Gen. Toombs says the correct “principles of the democrat ic par ty are not to lie found among the supporters or protectors of that most gigantic fraud that ever dis graced the annals of any ago or country, viz. Huutingdons Pacif ic Rail Road. Next to the radi cal party—the rail road corpora tions of the United States are the greatest of all enemies of lib erty and justice and of the people; the most inexorable oppressors of labor and spoliators of the indus try of the country ! I”* When the hill to relieve this Kail Road of its liabilities to the government came to the House of representatives this last spring —it was so well known and un derstood as a “gigantic fraud,” that it got only two votes in that House. One vote was cast by Ben. Butler of Massachusetts, the other by Lyndc of Wisconsin. One republican and the other a democrat. Both of them are re puted to he attorneys of the road. Gen.Toombs characterises the bill its it one hundredand twenty m il lion robbery. Dr. Felton oust his vote against it, on the side of the people, and justice. against , 2 for it. If you will look on page 589, of ! the congressional record, Janua ry 12th, 1877, you will read that | Mr. Gordon of Georgia asked and by unamitnous consent obtained consent to introduce a bill No. 1134, “to create a sinking fund for the liquidation of the govern ment bonds advanced to the Union Pacific—the Central Pacif ic—and the Western Pacific R. | Road companies.” That is tlie record—which is respectable. When that bill was voted on in the Senate, General Gordon voted for the rail road— -40 against, 19 for it. The question of respectability is a matter involving a good deal, considered in a political point of view alone. I think the respecta ble democrat is the man who stands by justice, and the people. It is easy to vote away millions —but they are not easy to make. When you look over this poor southern land, and see the toiling millions who “hew the wood and draw the water,” for the office holders and the attaches of the government, you can understand “respectability,” in a democratic sense of the word.
