Col. Nisbett says tho greatest effort and resolution of Col. Pope’s senatorial career was: “Resolved that a quart bottle he made to hold a quart.” Passed without opposi tion. Nobody is going to have a walk over, but the indications point to wavd several knock-downs if the gentlemen do not adopt the rule of conforming their passions to reason |and judgment. Cols. .Nisbett and Lumpkin will make “Rome howl,” while the “little dirty sheet, and Lumpkin organ” edited at Trenton will*ot escape imscathod or be flattered | with hopes oi earthly bliss. Things have begun to bile, and in the heat and clash of arguments, reason and judgment is dethroned ; personalities mispiaces public issues, and political sagacity takes flight with the winds of prudence. Cor,. Pope says lie thinks the candidates ought to desist speak ing, and draw up the following Resolution: We the undersigned agree upon all the main issues of tho day. Sighed. Cols. Lumpkin, Pope, Nisbett and McCollum. -♦ -«► ( 01. Blevins certainly wanned things up and made the hoys drop off-the limbs when lie referred to belli goffered a $5,000 bribe, and threatened to knock the man’s teeth dcfwn his throat for so doing. Every one thought a bomb-died was going to L exploded, ‘but crawled hack disappoint >d. W(*J . HVC the lion’* ta.ii f>i<:h a twiyt lent week that his respond* roar ii -.s rot yet ceased to echo through a.u little valley. We simply gave the record with out comment, and if it was one worthy of the gentleman’s pride as a far-seeing statesman, he should have rejoiced at seeing it given to the public for inspection; but on the other hand, if it was such, as in its bare form to arouse the gen tlemans ire,we are then to infer the record is not one to be handled too freely in a hotly contested cam paign, and that the Colonel so re gards it. We have no knowledge of ever having solicited Col. Nisbett to take the race for Senator, and if we did it was meant to be no more sincere than his solicitation to us to run for Representative. T. J. Lumpkin is now a candi date. He is our partner in busi ness, and to him we owe much. He is qualified to fill the office he seeks with honor to his constituency. We can vouch for his integrity, and personally we will contribute our little mite to secure his election. We never intended, nor have we conducted our paper in his inter est, but have preserved the neu trality we promised up to the point where we said it would end—when trickery and lying began. Because we gave abstracts from the house journal of 1868-69, our paper is dubbed the “dirty little sheet,” and characterized as the “Lumpkin organ.” Our little sheet will compare with the house journal of 1868-69, and come out an emblem of purity and cleanliness, save as tarnished by the comparison. As to Col. J.C.Nisbett,our friend ship, has been as close as tho dis parity of our ages would permit. Socially he is a cultured gentle man, and we respect him. In the war he proved a gallant soldier, and we honor him for it; but when we approach his record while in the Georgia legislature, distrust takes the place of friendship, and we see but a tarnished name, where honor once was his. When Col. Nisbett took an oath to uphold the constitution of the State of Georgia, did he then com prehend the sacredness of the oath? and did he know the constitution he had sworn to support? file would doubtless answer yos. That constitution provided that State security should not be placed to second mortgage bonds of any road company. But a few weeks after taking an oath so solemn, we find the Colonel voting SB,OOO per mile to the Alabama & Chattanooga railroad, now the Alabama Great Southern, and that on second mort gage bonds, and after the road had about been completed through our county. A subsequent legislature declared the bonds void, and pend ing litigations of the State’s claim in said road Coi. Nisbett was ap pointed Receiver, and received a handsome sum for his services. It was only after the expending of thousands of dollars that the State got a release from the contracts imposed upon her by a corrupt leg islature. Now, should Colonel Nisbett feel agrieved at the course we have taken, our reply will be by his own acts he merits condemnation, and we feel no regret from having ta ken such a small part in the cam paign in which he is a participant. , Col. Nisbett seemed desirous to convey the Impression, when he asked the question, “why we had singled him out,” that newspapers are prone to assail the strongest, and those of really eminent vir tue, and that they became an ob ject of envy, clamor and abuse; and whenever they done so, it is hut a sign of his strength, and ac companiment of his success in do ing service In the public. We ‘■‘orrv it the Colonel so miscon strued our r< marks of last week, el even harbored for a moment the l thought we inlended them as re | flections on his personal character, jtorin doing so. he vouid unjustiv I wrong and abuse our nnigment the I ■' sacred implement vve now employ. However w» may dir- w:v. Colonel on questions of political economy and public interest, ’t is not our design to rob him of that which is his by birth We have the greatest respect for Colonel Nis bett as a 'citizen and a gentleman, Cut candidly we do not think h* is suited for the senate, and whatever wo say in that respect, is from a political standpoint, not personal. Rev. J. L. Frater for nearly two weeks has been fighting the devil and the seeds of vice that seem to be making sad wrecks all around us of those whose life ought to be, amidst such scenes, of the greatest purity and peaco. It is one of the largest and most incerestiug revi vals ever held in the town. While the number of conversions have not been so great, the number of penitents that throng the altar nightlyjspeaks eloquently of the im pression beingmade on the hearts of the people. And ere the meet ing comes to a close it is greatly hoped and expected that the weak points of immorality will be reached, and an opening effected in hard, obdurate hearts, through which the Hood of Christianity with violence may rush through, to the advantage and refinement of our sturdy strength as a people. One of the most beautiful fea tures and the most influencing, is the constant labor of the .Chrirtian ladies in bringing in the harvest fiield of souls. A great work is be ing accomplished by the calm and resolute progress of earnest spirits, and long as the interest mani fested continues, in our judgment, just so long the meeting should tie protracted. Such zeal will surely he crowned with success. It is charged that Trenton had a clique, and that said clique entered the Executive Committee and made a cnli for a primary to select a State Senator, and subsequently recined the call, and all in the in terest of one candidate. Trenton form a political clique? No sir, she couldn’t do it— no two men are of the same opinion here. If the call for a primary was re ceived by a “proxy committee” and a “Trenton clique,” the origi nal call was made in the same manner. If it was recined by fraud, the call originated in ini quity. The same forces' employed in doing a thing, can certainly undo that particular thing. Because Trenton rises to a man and pro poses to “sit down” on a candidate he must not it a clique—its the individuality of the voter. On the 4th day of July. 1869, the public debt of Georgia was $5,827,- 000, as per report of N. L. Angier, treasurer, as appears on page 13, report of the committee to examine bonds of Georgia; and on the first day of 1871, the public debt had reached the sum of $12,450,009, in addition to railroad bonds en dorsed by the State under the sev eral acts of 1868-69, granting State aid of $5,733,000, making the grand total of the State debt and en dorsed bonds, $18,183,000. While this might be considered wise leg islation, evolved from keen and far sighted intellects, by some, we beg leave to say, nature did not so weigh our talents and impart that modicum of sense, to comprehend it in that light, Hons. G. W. M. Tatum, T. J. Killpatrick, and J. W. Blevins will meet in joint debate and ad dress the people a: Morganville to morrow. The Representative’s race waxes wtirm, and it is gratifying to the democracy to see the high plain upon which their canvass is being conducted. Confining them seUes strictly to the issues and appealing to the judgment and reason of the people, instead of their passions, and between these gentlemen we say hurrah for the man that wins. Can somebody tell us why the candidates use up half an hour ox plaining the recinding of tlv:* pri mary. Everybody knows why the primary was reeinded,therefore’tis a “dead issue” and of no benefit to am of the candidates “Let bv- L'oin s bt. hv gon.-s,” or the “dead past bury its dead.’’ GEORGIA —Pa >e County, Will be sold before ‘he Court house !. , r I.- (if TrctitO'i Dart.. countv. •bti.te of Georgia, on the lire- Tuesday in September 1888. between the legal hours of sale to the highest, bid der for cash, the following lots, orpnrt> of loJj of lend, iyiag west Lookout creek as the property of B M . wilkin son to wit: Lots of lam! number one, thirty five and thirty six, 11th J)ist. and fourth section, of said county:, and io.s of land number six and seven in the 18th Dist. and 4th section, said county, con taining 400 acres more or less.
