la renewing his connection with the
Commercial, as political editor, it is
scarcely necessary for the undersigned
to define his principles. Being now,
as always heretofore, a sincere Demo
crat of the States rights school, he will
labor to maintain tlie integrity of the
Democratic party against the open
assaults of avowed enemies, and the
more dangerous arts of secret enemies
who profess Democracy only to get
the power to seduce and betray the
party for mean, selfish ends
In the present position of public
affairs we regard the integrity of the
Democratic party as a matter of very
highest importance. Never, in the
history of the country, has there been
a time when consequences wo moment
ous hung dependent upon the triumph
or defeat of that party. Do you wisli
to recover the rights of the States,
the equality of the States? Sustaiu
the organized Democratic party. Do
you wish to suppress military rule and
banish federal bayonets ? Sustain the
Democratic party. Would you de
feat the infamous bill devised by Sum
ner to insult, humiliate and degrade
the Southern white people into an en
forced social amalgamation with your
former slaves ? Stand by the Demo
cratic party. Wvuld you prevent all
the horrors of a war of races which
must bo precipitated upon you by the
ceaseless tampering of Radical incen
diaries with the negro population?
Stand by the Democratic party —save
it from defeat by open enemies, from
betrayal and disruption by ambitious
' demagogues. There is no other party
to which we can look with the least
degree, of hope for our deliverance
from the most galling oppression.
It is too late for those who refused
to rid us in organizing our streugth,
to ask us to disband. Our leaders are
chosen. Our battle, is set. All true
men will meet the enemy under the
old flag. They will deliver their fire
full in the face of their enemy. The '
battle over, they will address them
selves again to the task of perfecting i
their organization for a renewal of
their struggle for right and liberty.

THE CAUI EKMVIEEK SF.X IT X El,.
A brief article of ours, containing
no personal allusion whatever, was at
tacked and shamelessly, falsified ano
prostituted to the vilest purposes of
the demagogue, in the columns of the
Cartersville Sentinel.
We said the bare publication of the
article thus attacked in its columns,
would exhibit the fact, that we had
been falsified and slandered ; and we
said that the refusal to publish that r
-tide was a refusal to lei the truth appear
in it* columns.
This refusal to do an act so obvi
ously just, is now attempted to be ex
cused upon the ground that our arti
cle was a venomous attack upon its
friefids. There is no truth in this ex
cuse for refusing to publish an article
vilified in its columns.
Iu the face of all this, that paper
has the quiet effrontery to hope that
wo have “a '.large enough charity” to
publish Felton’s card in our paper
that it may circulate among our read
ers! He pretends to think this card
a complete, vindication of Felton from
the palpable contradiction of himself
demonstrated in the Commercial. So
far from being a complete vindication
—we regard it as a wriggling subter
fuge. Our course is, and shall con
tinue to ha controlled by truth, jus
tice anda sense of duty to the country.
We will uever after refusing justice to
any man, approach him with whining
cant about large charity. This is
some of our venom.
In exposing Felton’s tricks and his
duplicity we wish to ha considered as
addressing ourselves to tiiose only who
are open to conviction by evidence,
who respect and yield to truth. We
do not address ourselves to the Cartels
ville Sentinel.

LOUISIANA AFFAIRS.
As will be seen by telegrams else-,
j where, the Patriots have surrendered
to the military authorities. There
seems to be some doubt as to the
| course Grant will take in the Louis
iana affair. He refuses to recognize
Penn, but whether he will fasten
Kellogg in his satrapy by the force of
bayonets is not distinctly revealed.
This is a very serious complication
and calls fur the exercise of inoder
tion and sound discretion.
We were told, yesterday, that Grant
was very angry. This is do time for
passion ; this is no time for its exhibi
tion.
In deciding to sustain Kellogg, the
| President and his cabinet “do not un
dertake to decide the question as to
who in right and who is wrong.” Cer
tainly not. Right or wrong, Kellogg
|isto be sustained. The overthrow of
j au usurper by revolutionary action of
the people is a precedent not to be tol
erated. Other States might follow
the dangerous example. What tin n
would be the condition of satraps ap
pointed by the central sovereignty ?
But what is to be thought of the pre
cedent set in the intervention of the
central government in the affairs of a
State, and deciding-- right or wrong—to
maintain au usurper in power against
the will of the people by military
force i Of these two precedents which
shall we elect? Which is most dan
gerous to the rights of the States and
the librties of the people ?
NO HUE TO CHANUE FBO.Vr.
As we said in a former article, our
battle is set. The enemy is in our
front. If we were cowardly enough
to desire it, we could not decline the
conflict. We have no alternative hut
to stand by our flag and our leader,
and deliver our fire full iu the face of
the foe, or inglorious fly the field,
or to go over to the enemy under the
treacherous lead of a deserter.
Mr. Trammell, iu dispite of all the
allegations made against him, entered
the convention decidedly stronger
than any other man. His friends
were from ilia counties contiguous to
his home. They may therefore he
presumed to know him. Their attach
ment to him may be inferred, not only
from their selection of him as their
chosen candidate, hut from the firm
ness with which they adhered to him
in the Convention. Is it probable
that those friends would be williug to
see him withdrawn, to silence the
c amour of a treacherous and deceit
ful dnoigauizer, who has been for
months devising and arranging the
plan of liia apostacy, who prejudged
aud insulted the Convention and all
its friends before it assembled ?
No! Those friends have beeu iu
s ted through their chosen candidate.
They are told now by this pretended
reformer, the immaculate Felton, that
he would have yielded the field to any
other but the candidate presented by
them ! But they have put in nomi
nation a man so obnoxious to his pure
heart that he must oppose him and
rebuke him, and all the wire-pulling
rascals who put him in nomination !
True, this honest reformer took
pains to go to a promiuent friend of
Trammell only a very few days before
his nomination, and assure him that
ho was no more opposed to Trammell
than to any other man. In fact, he
KNEW hi u and liked him VERY MUCH.
But as soon as he was nominated, he
was the only man of such vile charac
ter that he must oppose him for con
science sake ! Is it to he supposed
that any man’s friends would
to see him dropped at the dictation o
such a transparent hypocrite? No
those friends, and thousands who have
witnessed the shameful tricks, the de
ceitful double dealing aud wriggling
shifts of Felton, would scorn to yield
a hair at the instance of the lowest
trickster that has ever yet figured in
the politics of this District.
If, at any time, it might have been
advisable for Col. Trammell to throw
up the nomination with a view to pro
moting the harmony of the Democrat
ic party, all must see that it is now
too late. Besides, all must see that
no reliance can be placed upon Fel
ton’s declarations. They are constra
dietary and ever varying. He is con
stantly rnakiDg new and extraordinary
discoveries, which change his declara
tions, his opinions and his purposes.
Such a step would be hailed by
Feitou aud his followers as a confes
sion of weakness, a weakness that
does not exist to anything like the ex
tent that they pretend. Let us all,
then, as true Democrats, address our
selves resolutely to the work set before
us. We can win the battle. We
have cheering and reliable news from
points where the greatest defection is
said to exist. Our friends in every
other District in t.Jse State are united,
harmonious and active. Here, only,
has the Democratic’party found a dis
organizer t> disrupt the party
and coalesce with Radicals for its de
feat. Come what may, the disorgan
izes will come to grief.
The Atlanta News has been calling
Fatty Harris pet names. Harris is
pouting about it and wants the News
to pay him ten thousand dollars to
pacify him. How particular these
fellows are getting, to be sure, and
what a value they place upon them
selves. If Abrams should pay him
the tea thousand, would that make
him any the less a thief ? We put this

THE WAY’ TO GET UP A "PEOPLES
CANDIDATE”—SPONTANEOUS SUG
GESTION.
We have it upon good authority
that A. I. Leet, President of a con
vention of Grangers held here at Rome
in April 1874, said that Felton would
be a candidate for Congress this fall.
That if the Grangers could get him
nominated he would run as the nomi
nee of a Convention. If not that he
would be suggested from various
points of the District and run as aD
independent, a peoples’ candidate.
Felton was Vice President of this Con
vention. Arrangements were thus
early begun, unknown to the people,
to provide them a candidate. At the
proper time his name was to be
sprung upon the country by sponta
neous suggestion and he was to come
forth as the peoples’ candidate—the
enemy of conventions —of wire-pull
ing, of rings : a reformer to wipe out
the corruptions of the times, and pu
rify the politics of the country !! Long
live humbug!!
WILL TIIE GRANGERS ALLOW
THEMSELVES USED Ml DISRUPT
THE DEMOCRATIC' PARTY?
The evidence that Felton has at
tempted to seduce the Grange organi
zation into politics, and draw them to
his support is conclusive. This is his
fault not that of the Grangers. That
he should have attempted this, con
trary to what he knew to be an avow
ed principle of that organization,
ought to forfeit him, not only their
support, but their confidence and res
pect as a true and faithful Granger.
There i9 a double treachery in thi\
He would betray the principles of the
Grangers, that he may use them to
betray the Democratic party. We
know that he got no encouragement
in his effort to secure Grange support
here. What his success may have
beeu elsewhere we do not know. He
may have succeeded in seducing some
unsuspecting members of the order to
support him iu his treacherous attack
upon the integrity of the Democratic
party. If so the sooner they abandon
a leader faithless alike to the Gran
gers and the Democratic party the
better for them, for the order and for
I he party. Nothing could be more ruin
ous to the success of the Orange move,
men! than to allow itself to be used as
an instrument for the disruption of the
only party in the country in harmony
with its leading principled, and upon
which all good men rely for the res
toration of peace prosperity and good
government.
THE I I.TI.VIATE RdlHl OF REV
OI.VTIOV
In all ages of the world, tyrants
have stood iu awe of the dagger.
Where they have shaken off all regard
to moral restraints, all respect for laws,
human and divine, they are yet held
in check by the dread of the aveng
ing dagger in the hands of outraged
humanity.
Suppose a case where the law itself
is but oue of the instrumentalities of
tyrauts. They make the law, they
administer it, and perpetuate robberies
and murders by laws of their own eu
actmeut, administered by themselves
or their missions; what resource is left
to suffering humanity iu such a state?
Shall tyrants thus entrenched and
hedged around by laws intended for
their own purposes, not for the protec
tion of human rights, he still further
secured by that mawkish and stupid
sentimentality which would reject the
last and only remaining resource of
the people— the right of revolution—
the appeal to the sword ?
The dread of the sword and the
dagger are now the main restraints
upon the advance of despotism iu this
country. The Constitution is dead.
Liberty is dying. Let those who have
destioyed the one and ara strangling
the other, remember that the sword of
revolution remaius in the hands of
people.
THE RENEGADE.
A special telegram to the Courier-
Journal says: Iu the charge made
upon the metropolitans under Long
street yesterday, many of the old Vir
ginia veterans were there. He heard
that yell of victory that had once fill
ed his heart with pride, aud he inglo
riously fled the field. The crack shot
of the city drew a bead on him a mo
ment before the first fire, hut a citizen
begged him not to fire. That man
has not missed his mark for teu years.
Thus Longstreet was saved.
We rather doubt the statement that
Longstreet “ingloriousiy fled the field.”
He is a brave man aud no doubt re
tired in good order, under the circum
stances. — Angusta Comtitutionalist.
He may have shown himself a
brave man at one time. Then he was
engaged iu defending the rights of an
oppressed people, aud with a serene
consciousness of the justice of his
cause he performed his duty well.
Conscience makes a coward of him
note, qud we have no doubt the ac
count is corect and that he inglorious
ly fled the field.
“Ay, I was a gentleman,” said Mel
notte “before I turned conspirator.”

the tyrant at Washington aod the
traitor at New Orleans.

you as a representative of the government

mainder of the property in This city be
longing to the State. This surrender is in
response to a formal demand of Gen. Em
ory lor such surrender, or to accept as an
alternate levying of war upon our gov-
eminent by military forces of the United
States under his command. 1 have alrea
dy said to Gen Emory we have neither
power nor ilio inclination to resist the
government of the United States. Sii, 1
transfer to your guaidianship the rights
and liberties of the people of Louisiana,
and I trust and believe that you will give
protection to all classes of our citizens,
ruled and ruined by the corrupt usurpa
tion presided over by Mr Kellogg. Our
and'hisults of that us'ur pat fst 1 ra un
and they rose in their might, swept it
from existence and installed in authority
the rightful government, of which 1 am
head. All lovers of liberty throughout
the union must admit the patriotism that
prompted our people to act as one man,
and throw off the yoke of this odious
usurpation. I knew that, as a soldier,
you have but to ouey orders of the gov
ernment of the United States, but 1 feel
that you will temper your Military control
of affairs with moderation, and in all
things exhibit that integrity of purpose
characteristic of officers of tlte army.
I now turn over to you, sir, the capitol
and other property of the Slate under my
charge.

Adjutant General’s Office.
Washington, Sept. 18, 1874. )
General W. H Emory, New Orleans, La:
The state government existing at the
time of the beginning of the present in
surrectionaty movement must be recog
nized as the lawful state government un
til some other government can be legally
supplied Upon the surrender of the in
surgents, you will inform Gov. Kellogg of
the fact, and give him theneccessary sup
port to re-establish the authority of the
state government.
If at the end of the five days given in
the proclamation of the 15th inst., there
still exists armed resistance to the author
ity of the State, you will summon a sur
render if not quietly submitted to, it must
be enforced at all hazards, this being an
insurrection against the state government
of Louisiana, to aid in the suppression of
which the United States government has
been called upon in the forms required by
the constitutional laws of congress there
under. It is not the province of the Uni
ted Slates authorities to make terms
with parties engaged in such insurrec
tion.
E. D. Townsend,
Adjutant General.
General Emory has appointed Col.
Booke military governor of the city until
the State and city governments can be

the State under military government.
FEELING OF GREAT RELIEF.
New Orleans, Sept. 16. —After an of
ficial settlement of the troubles yesterday,
there was a feeling of great relief. Many
of Mr. McEuery‘s followers predict that
General Emory’s orders signifies the in
auguration of martial law.
A consultation was held in the after
noon at the Custom House between lead
ing Republicans and Democrats. A pro
gramme, was agreed to looking to a peace
ful settlement of the troubles requiring
the resignation of ail the claimants to the
governorship, and leaving it to the State
to select the Governor and Lieutenant
Governor.
The War Department sent a telegram
to Gen. Emory, at New Orleans, instruct

New Orleans, September 18.—The in
surgent army has disbanded, but their
diplomasts are negotiating on various
terms of compromise by which they may
get some recognition to the general recon
struction, as well as amnesty for their
recent operations. Most of the proposi
tions Kellogg accepts.
There are rumors of a negro uprising
in the West Feliciana parish, and some
excitement prevails. This is a strong Re
publican parish where the Republican
officials were deposed by the White
League on Tuesday. Not much credit is
says the negroes have been repulsed with
no.white men J wounded.
Gentlemen itt prominent legal positions
say the surrender of the insurgents do s
not prevent their prosecution tor treason
against Louisiana by the authorities of that
State.

lowing telegram was receyed to-night
from General Emory to Adjutant General

establish the State government. His chief
of police was shot down ; the next in
command also, and his whole force ts ut
terly dispersed and hidden away out of
sight For one of them to have attempt

certain destruction, and even now the
State authorities, represented by Governor
Kellogg, have asked to defer taking
charge for the present.
