many republican voles have
heretofore been cast in the -ev

importuned to aid in defeating
Holtzclaw” did not Dr. Felton
do that thing :
We give the following extract
as a specimen of the letter of
Gen. Gordon upon Dr. Felton:
••vet, this man—false to hi- peo

All this will appear to Dr Eel

pocritical way applauded him.
while pretending they thought
his nomination of Holtzclaw
1 would do a lot ol damage, to the
democratic party. Bah! They are
sickening !
<>n Bryant’s way to Dalton he
spoke to Col. I). S Prill tup about
his business, told him he was
then on his way to organize the
Republican for Judge Lester.
An honest colored voter stated
the fact, that Bryant told him in
Borne, that lie had several him
drod dollars then in his poeket
for the purpose ol running Mr.
Holt/.el aw in this plan above
mentioned.
The hosts assembled; Bryant,
leading I 101 l zelaw —J. B. Gordon
leading Lester, and they all
charged the independent camp.
How they snorted! How they
bellowed! Judge Lester told the
people of GedarTown that he was
certain to go to congress, because
lie had been offered lots of money
to aiil him outside the district,
one man offered live hundred—
another one hundred--and soon.
It now leaks out that Bryant
went to the National Democratic
committee and got money to aid
Lester in the Holtzclaw move
ment. It is true that Bryant de
nie- it—but he also denied tell
ing Gol. I’lintiip of Rome about
his plan to help Judge Lester.
False one time lie can be false
the next. Whether Bryant got
the money ho says he sought
from the republican committee,
we cannot tell. He does not say.
Mrs. Felton exposed the plot,
and therefore J. B. Gordon lead

did hi- part. He run on to the
end. and delivered the goods that
were hagained for. He only kept
two votes for his own share—
turning over all the balance, as
was intended. It is to be hoped
they paid him for the work.
Now we have an astonishing
spectacle! John B. Gordon on
one side lighting Felton over his

deepest dye John E. Bryant on

The Sentinel had the following
editorial in its columns a few
days since in regard U> the letter
of Mrs. Felton :
ftn our first page this evening
we reproduced Mrs. Felton's re
markable let|’r, addressed to the
editors of the f hroniele on/l Con
Htitvfionnliet. It is remarkable
in many ways. In the first place
few of the gentler sex could
write a letter couched in such
vigorous and marrowry English,
and fewer still are so capable of
doing literary battle with pre
suined assailiants of the lnascit
line gender. It will be seen that,
she bases her counterblast upon
the double presumption that Air.
Reese meant her and that behind
Mr. Reese is the giant whom
that gentleman claims as a vain
able friend. Mr. Reese may find
it convenient or possible to deny
this two fold accusation: but, e
ven in such event, Mrs. Felton
has adroitly got in all the evi
dence that she deemed important
in dealing with her presumptive
adversaries. We can hardly credit
that either Gen. Gordon or Mr.
Reese would make war on a lady
no matter how much that lady
may have, in her husband's be
half, endeavored to thwart their
opposition to him. It is recorded
of William Tell that, though he
dared death itself rather than
bow to Dealer's cap, he was per
fectly willing to make obeisance
to madame Gesler's bonnet. And
! so it should he with Mr. Felton
i and his wife. We confess that
we have an admiration for Mrs.
Felton beyond the poor power of
words to convey. If every man
of talent and ambition bad a part
ner in matrimony endowed with
her intellect and imbued with her
spirit and clothed with her robust
virtues, his path would be onward
and upward without a doubt. She
is a helpmate indeed of whom a
royal man might he proud—his
loving aid when present and his
noblest buckler when absent.
Mrs. Felton is the Maria Theresea
of Georgia. She has the best at
tributes of a woman and the aspi
ring soul of a man. She wears
no diadem like the daughter of
theOtesats but she is fashioned
in the mould of queenliest dig
nity and the power of command
over inferior beings. We hesitate
to believe that any Georgian, in
in high or low station, would wil
liugly assail so devoted a wife.so
majestic a ladr. so glorious an in

Dr. Felton in Congress.
The Darien Gazette pays the
following tribute to our faithful
representative:
Through the elforts of the Hon.
\\ m. 11. Felton, the live and efli
oient congressman from the sev
entli district,Savannah and Bruns!
wick get between them the sum
of one hundred and ten thousand
dollars. The former gets one
hundred thousand dollars and the
latter gets ten thousand dollars.
Dr. Felton, since Mr. H art ridge's
death, has worked unceasingly
for our district, and our people
are under renewed obligations to
him for services rendered. It is
true that Darien gets no appro
priation litis season, but then we
are thankful that our sister cities
Brunswick and Savannah did.
Congressman Felton not only
faithfully and truly represents
the seventh district, but the
whole state. We don't know of
a more faithful, energetic and
wide-awake congressman than
the Hon. W. li. Felton of Carters
ville. It seems that he has his
whole heart in the good work of
improving the state and doing
everything in his power that
lends to build it tip. Weoongrat
ulate Georgia on having such a
representative at the national
capitol.
Has Georgia democracy gone
mad ? Have Georgia editors for
gotten the respect duo to a
•‘woman" that they so mercilessly
abuse Mrs. Felton for what she
lias written in her husband's
cause? Far be it from us to. ap
prove of Georgia ladies entering
the political arena, but we must
enter a protest against such
wholesale abuse of what our bro
ther editors are pleased to call
a ••woman." We will thank kind
heaven for more “women'' who
are willing to help their husbands
bear the burdens of life whatever
circumstances surround them.
Gentlemen, it is a shame, and we
feel like saying “confound the
editors, confound the papers, and
confound everything that will
not step aside and bow to any
Georgia lady who loves her hits
hand more than she fears the
barbed arrows of Georgia editors.*

• Here is a sweet morsal for the
consideration of Messrs. Blaine.
Ingersoll ct ill., of the Radical
ranks, which they can reflect on :
James Ellis, a colored blacksmith
in Americas, who hy indus
try and economy, has acquired
competency and quite a lucrative
trade in his profession, on learn
ing that his old mistress, Virgin
ia Ann Wishnian, was in very re
duced circumstances—without
even a shelter— went before Jus
tice J. B. Pilsbury and J. 11. Allen
’lerk of the Superior Court, and
made her a deed to a small place
in Macon county, thus giving' her
a home in her old age without
fee or reward. Surely such good
deeds as these are recorded above
and will there entitle the donor
to a home in that home of many
mansions." Jim Ellis is a hard
working, honest man, and though
his skin is a little dark his heart
is all right. Sober and . illustri
ous, he has many friends in the
white race of our city, who will
esteem him now more than ever.”
in Monday night last the (’lay
ton Institute at Jonesboro was
destroyed by lire, as was also a
house near by owned by Mrs.
Elliot. Nearly everything in
both buildings was burned. The
tire is thought to lie of incendi
