Col. Nisbett is not as great a rail
road magnate as Jay Gould, but
be certainly has given his aid to
ward building many.
Interest in the Dade convention
has somewhat subsided, as every
one concedes the county to Clem
ents by a large majority.
wisar- ——
The iamiliar face of Dave Kiser
could be seen.on our streets a few
days tiiis week. Dave has been
living in Memphis but will remove
to Huntsville this week.
It is plain to the view by the
Colonel’s record that he was in fa
vor of allowing for railroads, but
we will not state positively that
the Colonel was over in favor of
allowing for betterments.
A buzzard with a bell on his neck
marked ‘1883” was recently found
dead in Georgia, and now that
Yankee State has something more
co brag about.—Detroit Free Press.
W ; c are not braggarts, but there
was a time when we could boast of
fair samples of the buzzard, but
they flew off to pursue the work or
dained them by nature—i Elbe clear
ing up'of putrescent and foul mat
ter. In other words they could not
exist in an atmosphere of purity,
therefore are steeping themselves
in Northern corruption.
The contest foi the Congressional
nomination is becoming spirited
and the nomination of Clements is
not yet assured. He has, undis
puted, h loyd C votes, Haralson 2
votes, \\ alter 2 votes, Chattooga 2
votes and Gordon 1 vote (as the
delegation is divided ). It is thought
h ! ’ will carry thudding, thus giving
him 15 votes. Col, I. E Shumate
has Catoosa 2 votes, WliittioM 2
votes, blurry 2 votes and Gordon 1
vote; total 7. C. E. Philips has
Cobh 4 votes, and those votes would
probably not go to Clements as
second choice, Bartow with 1 votes.
Dude with 2 votes and Polk with
2 votes are yet to act, and am
doubtful. Col. Clements must
have two votes from 011) . 0 f f}j,. S(>
counties to secure a majority. Can
he g ■* them?
Cons. Jerable doubt exist.; a. to
whether Col. Clements can carry
Bartow, but a prominent gentle
man who is thoroughly acquainted
with Bartow politics says be will.
Dade is assured, and if he carries
Bartow the “mountain colt” is safe.
The campaign will fairly open
to-day at Rising Fawn. The first
guns will be tired, and before the
chill winds of November shall freeze
some of the candidates to death
there will be lots of speaking to the
dear down-trodden, much abused
people, and a great deal of
key distributed to arouse their lat
ent energies, and nerve them to the
task of voting for the man who is
to lift off the yoke of oppression.
They will address the people of
Cloverdale Saturday.
HON. A. J. JEFFREY.
We announce in this issue the
name of A. J. Jellrey,as a candi
date for coroner, of Dade county.
No candidate has yet taken the
held whose record would furnish
such a theme for the pen of Hie
journalist as that of xMr. Jeffery.
Mr. Jeffrey’s war record is calcu
lated to suit the most exacting vote
upon the point. After serving
some time in the Confederate ser
vice, and gaining the admiration of
his comrades,ami the respect of his
officers. Air. Jeffry then threw up
his commission and joined the
Federal iorces. By serving in both
ranks we, see manifested the pure
disinteredness ol our candidate to
all the great issues of ttio.se days,
and like a true soldier battle lor tne
cause with which he may be asso
ciated. Mr. Jeffery is a man of
unconquerable energy, and a tlior- j
ough and enlhuastic Christian, and j
is lilted to hold ihe office of Coro
ner oi Dade county.
“THE RECORD.”
F-His record there shows that he
opposed, and assisted in defeating
mostof the plundering schemes the
carpet-baggers tried to fix upon the 1
State.—Walker county Messenger,
on Hon. J. C. Nisbett.
The editor of the Messenger cer
tainly understands the art of using
the English language, or the plac
ing of the proper in tlgr proper
place, The Messenger says the
Colonel assisted in defeating “most
of the ‘plundering schema.” What
a pity the Colonel didn’t asll in and
defeat them all. Wo do not know
how many the Colonel help defeat,
but we do know of a few that the
Colonel did not help to defeat.
In the journal of the House of
1868. page 394, the vote was taken
on a bill to loan the credit of the
State to the South Georgia & Flor
ida railroad company. Col. Nis
bott voted for the bill,
Again on page 479 the vote is re
corded on a bill to extend the aid
of the State to the Macon & Agusta
railroad company. Col Nisbett
voted for the bill.
On the 17th of Feb, 1869. journai
of the House, page 246, is recorded
the vote on a bill to loan the credit
of the State to the completion of
the Memphis branch railroad. Col.
Nisbett voted for the bill.
On the 2nd of March, 1869, page
470, the vote was taken on the bill
to aid the Albany <fc Brunswick
company. The vote is not record
ed, but the bill was passed; and on
the 3rd of March, 1869, journal of
1869, page 477, a motion was made
to reconsider the action of <he
House in granting aid to the Al
bany & Brunswick railroad com
pany. Col. Nisbett voted against
reconsideration.
On the same day the House voted
a gains t re c< >n si dera tion.
On the same day the House vot
ed on a bill to loan the credit of
the State to the Norrh Georgiul rail
roadcompany. The bill failed to
pass, but Col. Nisbett voted for it.
On the Bth day of March, 1869,
journal of the House, page 554. is
recorded the vote on a bill to loan
the credit of tlv State to the Car
t “rsville A VamvKstrailroad com
pany. Col. Nisbett voted for the
hill.
On page 622. journal 1869, is re
corded tin* vote out- a bill to loan
the ei' dit of tie- State to th< Ala
bama A Chattanooga railroad com
pany. Nisbett voted for tie bill
From this it appears that Col.
Nisbett voted for all the State aid
I measures that come before the leg
islature while he was a member,
and that too while the State was in
an impoverished condition from
the eflecte of the war. Oh, consist
ency, thou art a jewel.
Last Thursday was election day
in Hamilton county Tenn., and
Passengers on the A. G. S. train
Thursday morning saw rather im
pressive evidence of the fact. In
a little cluster of bushes opposite
the depot at Wauhatchie was to be
seen an impromptu ballot box pre
sided over by a dignified body of
election managers with usual
tally sheets etc. The scene around
the place of voting had all the ap
pearance of a modern election—
the same “hustling about,” caucus
ing, etc., only intensified by the
rustilcity of the place, yet some
thing elese lent a novelty to the
scene. Astride a barrel was
an old commoner. The barrel was
on a “slidq,” and to the “slide” was
hitched a gray horse. Something
was being drawn from the barrel
and given out in a big tin cup.
Alike Allison, with his head out the
window, took in the situation, and
at once made a dash for the bar
rel and called for a cup of the bev
erage ;it was handed him. A swal
low sufficed; it was not liquor;
Mike was disappointed; the train
started off; th<‘ cup,of cider was
landed in the ditch,Mike mounted
the train, pursued by the irate ci
der vender.
