Cartersville, Ga., Sept. 20,1876. Editor Citizen : A letter From a citizen of Dalton of the 18th, addressed to me, says : “ Felton, in his speech in this place last Saturday, said that he had been informed that you (i) had >md that Z. IL Hargrove way*.The author of his ‘ proposition ’ to submit the ques tion of his candidacy to the people by primary election, and if you (I) had so stated you (I) was an unqualifi and liar.” To say nothing of the decency of such language by a ma.i who pretends to be a preacher, what I did say was this : “ That a delegate of the convention had told me that Maj. Hargrove said he was the author of Dr. Felton’s proposition.” Mr. John li. Towers, Jr., of the Floyd delegation had told me so that day. I stated it in my spe eh as it was stated to me. In su; port, of what I then said 1 introduce the following testimony : On the afternoon of Wednesday, the 30th day of August. 1876, I met 55. B. Hargrove on Broad s’reet, in Rome, Ga., near Caruochan’s store, and asked him it it was t ue that a certain proposition, known as the ‘ Felton proposition/ had been made to and accepted by Felton. He answertd that it was true, and he further remarked that it is my proposi tion— I made it a week ago and they have just now accepted it. John II Towers, Jr. Sworn to and subscribed before me this, the 18th September, 1876. W. S Cothran, Jr., Notary Publio. Here another witness : - Some* time ago I was in front of the postoffice in Rome, Ga., where a crowd of persons were discussing the chances of the different candidates, and Maj. Z. IL Hargrove stated that Felton’s proposition w-as one which he suggested some time before it was made by Fel ton ; in other words, l understand that he claims to be the author of it. John Harki js. Mr. Towers is a young man of as good character as any one. .Mr. Har kins is an old citizen of Rome, and lias been a leading member of the Metho dist Church fot many years. [ think I have established my au thority for saying wl at I did. The question of veracity is between Dr. Felton aniTowersand Harkins. In view of what has been proven on Dr.Felton in matter cf veracity,! think their character will not suffer when brought in conflict with his. For Dr. Felton stated in a public speech lie made in Rome in 1874, il Bass, Dabney, Printupor Les ter had been nominated bv the Calhoun convention that he would not have been a candidate. He afterwards admitted in a public letter, published in the Rome Commercial, under the date of the 16th of September, 1874, that he did say on Saturday before the Calhoun con., venlion that he intended to run, no matter who was nominated. It’s a clear case, with a view to these contradictory statements by Dr. Felton, that he was not candid in what he said before the Calhoun convention, and in whut lie said in his Rome speech after the convention; for these statements show a conflict pai Hul to the conscience of a truthful man. \Ybile these things remain unexpla’n ed, no respectable mart’s testimony can suffer when disputed by his alone Dr. Felton’s claim to paternity of his proposition, if good, puts him in a worse light than if it had been sug gested by another and accepted by him. ihe proposition is an insult to every white Democrat in the district; if it’s Dr. Felton’s own, it’s a deliberate stud ied outrage. To make his proposition as respecta® ble a-; possible, in his Calhoun speech on tbe 12th, he read extracts from the Rome Courier and Athens Watchman indorsing his proposition as fair. In that Dr. Felton displayed his usual can dor; for at the very moment be was reading these extracts he knew, as a matter of fact, that each of these pa pers had confessed to a mistukeand had withdrawn their indorsement. I now challenge Dr. Felton to deny this state® rnent. Dr. Felton, in his spasmodic grabs for Radical votes, proposes to put the the negro Radicals of the Seventh Con gressionai District on an equality with the white Democrats in the election of Democratic candidates. For he says in his proposition : On the day of the general election in October, each voter in the Seventh Congressional District shall record up un the back of hR ticket for Governor his preference for Congress, as between myself and the nominee of the approach ing Dalton convention, and 1 will abide tbe result.” The Doctor says each voter ; each voDt is each negro and each white Rad ical. Dr. Feifcon never made that prop osition in good faith ; lie knew it would not be accepted by the Democratic par ty, and it ought not to be. It was a pure Lid for negro votes He could say, “ my colored supporters, you see tbe proposition 1 have made these white Democrats to allow each voter to vote at a primary election to select a Demo cratic candidate ar and that has been re jected ; I thought you could render the Democrats valuable aid in the selection of their candidates, but they refuse you the privilege ; row, as Dabney is the head of the refractory Demo-rats, you Truth Conquers All Things.” cannot vote for him, hut each voter of you can vote for me.” This is the logic of Dr Felton’s proposition. I wonder what Felton and his negro sup - porters would think of the Democrats proposing to go into the Radical family and select candidates for them ? 'J here is another reason why I was inclined to think it according to the fit mss of things for Mr. Hargrove to have suggested to Dr. Felton the plan of the proposition. It is this: Major Hargrove is the leading Republican, and is known to be a warm and ardent supporter of Dr. Felton. Major Har grove is known to be hard at work in the interest of Dr. Felton, with the members of the Republican party. When Dr. Felton arrived in Mile from Washington, the first week in August, he made a speech, but did not declu’e himself a candidate. The mid dle of the next week he went to Rome, and I am told by good authority that Maj. Hargtove was the first man who called on the Doctor. He got to Rome late in the afternoon of one day, and left early the next morning. 'The next morning on the train he said he was a candidate, and would announce himself formally in a few days. Who doubts he consulted Hargrove and got assurance of support? Who doubts his candidacy was dependent on the contingency of Hargrove’s approval or disapproval ? I have said Dr Felton was in league with the Republican party. I say so now. In this campaign he has made speeches in Cobb, Cherokee, Bartow. Polk, Gordon, Chattooga, Whitfield, Walker and Catoosa. 1 now defy any man to repeat a word Dr. Felton ever tittered for Tilden or for Colquitt. I defy any man to repeat a word he has e\*er uttered against the election of Norcross. I defy any man to repeat ? word he has ever uttered in hostility to the election of R. IL Hayes, Hayes was a member of the 39th-40th Con gress. and recorded every vote he has over cast on all questions affecting the South, inimical to the interests, the rights and honor of tho Southern peo.- ple. I defy any man to produce a word Felton has ever uttered of information to the people on this subject. This testimony is easily produced if it exists. It dees not, and Felton never intends that it shaT, for that would countermand his bid for the Radical vote. I said in my Dalton speech that he never took ground in fa "or of Tilden till 1 forced him to do it in my Carters villc speech. 1 repeat that hero. On the night cf his arrival from Washington be made a speech io which he used this language : Cartersville, Sep. 18, 1876. On the night of Dr. Felton’s arrival in Cartersville from Washington he made a speech to the crowd which as sembled to hear him. In the course of his remarks he said that there was no difference between the Northern Dem ocrats and Northern Radicals io feeling towards the South. He spoke of Til deti and Hayes being good, honest men. Said each political party had put out their best men for President and Vice President. Said the race between TiL den and Hayes would be doubtful. He also said not to give the Democrats too large a majority ; that it would have a depressing and disastrous effect on the Ninth ; that each party in the North was bent on getting rid of the corrup tion in the government, and no matter which can ’idate was elected it would be a great improvement; and told un anecdote, which ended : “ anything , good Lord for a change.” J. W. PITCIIETT, 11. W. Murphy, R. S. Patillo, G It. Bates, F. M. Walker. J. E. Field. To this statement of what Dr. Felton did say, a large number of names could be got in addition to those already to it. Part of those given above were Felton' men in 1874. The purpose of Dr. Fel ton iu saying what he did on that oc casion was clear to a blind man. He was bidding for Radical vo'es. While he nominally for Tilden, he was throwing cold water on the Democratic cause. His statement that the issue was and >ubtiul was enci uragement to tne Radicals, and discouragement to the DcuioC'ats. “ Kuc.i party bent on get ting rid of corruption !” Dr. Felton knew better than that when he said it. The Republican party has been in pow er since the 4th of March, 1861, and not a sofitarv Radical rog te lias ever been exposed till the Democrats got a majority in the House in December, 1875. lie siys both parties put out their best man. No one kn ws better than Dr. Felton that Hayes as President will be clay in the hards of such men as Morton and others to be moulded to their will. He talks of anything lor a change. We do not want a change of men only; we want a change of parties. We want a party the cardinal principles of which are honesty in the adminis tration of the government, and equality before tbe law for the Confederate or Union man ; for tbe Northern man or the Southern man. 1 can ce no good to the people of this country in an administration Gov. liayes, when he approves the adminis tration of Grant, and will be surround, ed by the thieves, who have made Grant’s administration a stink in the nostrils of the world 'J his speech of Felton’s was made j the first week iu August. I made a speech the third week in August iu which I replied to that part of Felton’s speech, and showed by the record that Hayes while in Congress Northern llad< icals at his side had voted for every measure of oppression to the South, while the Northern Democrats to a man had voted with us. Ft lion made a speech that same day in the afternoon and stated he w r as for Tilden. But for my speech exposing the re* cord of Hayes he would never have opened his mouth for Tilden, and there he said nothing except that he was for Tilden. fn his printed address to the people dated 27th August, 1876. he does not pen a word for tho Democratic candi dates. He says that “if Tilden and Hendricks ” are elected. lie takes good eare never to men i<>n fch ir names in any other connection and no word of counsel or eneouragemement chi be found in that paper for the Democratic candidates. The name of General Col quitt never appears in it at no ref erence is made to him, even. Why all tills? do you ask —he is bidding for Radical votes. His effort is to ride two horses through this campaign, as he did in 1874. A Radical horse and a Democratic horse are not ho uogenious ; the people see the incoLgruity, to say nothing of the duplicity of the performance. I warn the Doctor now, to be success ful in his role,ht; needs the diplomacy of Richelieu and the courage of Agamem non. I have shown what 1 promised. I new say there is no excuse for the course of Dr. Felton but the gratifica tion of his own selfish ambitious end. The success of the Democratic party and its candidates and principles are nothing to him when interposed in the path of his ambition To him the end is all—the means nothing. John W. Wofford. Bottled liumbic Bees. .No man can tell when a bo} of nine or ten years is going to break out iu a new spot. A Cass farm lad, who has been noted for his quiet demeanor and steady ways, all at once took a notion to hunt bumble bees. He armed him self with a wide-mouthed bottle and tramped over lots and fields and entrap ped many a luek'ess stinger. After sc curing them he had no further pleasure except to see them crawl up anu down the sides of the bottle and whack their stingers into each other. He was out early yesterday morning, gathering in the bees while they were benumbed, and when he entered the house for breakfast he had about thirty great, ov rgrown, wicked looking bumble bees. They were packed into the bottle heeds and tails and ether ways, and the lather, catching sight of them, spoke up : “ See here, boy, I don’t want any more of this fooling around after bees. After breakfast you heave that bottle out of doors, and don’t bring another bee around this house.” The boy placed the bottle behind the dining/room stove. There was a gentle lire, and the bottle had no cork. Ti e family had got through the first cup of coffee when they heard something go ing: “ Jing—ring—ding —■ ong long— rong g !” 'ihe fire warmed the bees up, and they left the bn‘tle to warm the family up. It was a business affair, and the bees went in to do their best. The boy slid out at the first alarm, but the old folks flourished their napkins until slid ing out would have done no good. The old gent got a sting on his left ear and another on his head at the same second, while the old lady was punctured in the shoulder, and yelled *• murder ” with all her might. “ Maul —maul ’em !” shouted the old gent, waving the butter dish around, and getting another needle into bis neck. “ Police ! Police !” squealed the old lady, diving under the table as a big bee settled on the lobe of her ear. It was a very even light for a while, but then the old n an got down tbe cel lar, and the woman flew for abed-room, the one’s deep bass voice shouting, “Gimme the camphor, Betty !’ and the other squeaking, “ If you love me go for a doctor I’ ’ No one knows what became of tho boy.

The following is an extract from a I speech delivered recently i.i New Or leans by Grand Muster J G. Pleuiiug, Louisiana : Gentlemen : —I propose to tell you a fable or legend of No ll's ark. When the ark had been anchored on the sum mit of Mount Ararat, and a sufficient portion of the mountain hud become dry to furnish them resting places, the aui. mals were all released from their con finement and allowed to ream at liberty over whatever sp ce the water permit ted them to occupy. When they beheld the terrible scenes of destruction around them, and the dead carcasses of their respective spe cies floating past on the receding wa ters; when they saw the surrounding eminences gradually rising in view,giv ing the promise of the world being once more given t hem for an abiding p ace, they began to realize the magnitude of the dangers they had escaped,and tie ir hearts were filled with gratitude towards Noah for their preservation and his kind treatment. After some constitution it was deter mined that before they parted compa ny forever —as they were likely soon to do—they would meet in solemn con vention in which each species should be represented, and determined upon some memorial or memento to be presented to Noah, expressive of their appre ciation of the services he had, rendered them. So soon as this measure was agreed upon the fox at once went to carry the interesting news to Noah, hoping of course to get an extra chicken or two, and also such information and instruc tion us would make him to appear to ad vantage in the as>embly. \Y hen the convention met an unex pected difficulty or contest arose, and that was a contention about the Presiden cy* The friends of the horse urged his claims because be was the most useful to man and companion and friends as well. The friends of the lion came forward with their candidate on uecouut of his superior courage and strength. There were some that set up a clamor for the giraffe because as they said he was the most graceful and genteel of all the an imals aud carried his head the high est. Some even gave their voice for the monkey because he was the only one whose tail was longer than his bo dy. It was finally concluded, however, by the election of the elephant not only on account of his tremendous size and su perior wisdom but because he had a trunk—there were no carpet-baggers then —in which to keep the record of the procediogs safe from the Returning Hoard. The fox, being provided with the da ta and other information obtained from Noah .secured to himself the only paying office they proposed to make—that of Secretary. The convention being duly organized at last, there was found to be one ani trial that was perfectly unmanageable and that was the j ickass. Lie protested and kicked against everything with such vehemence and ferocity that he fright ened all the smaller ones into acquies cene or submission rather and in order to compose matters,it was agreed to make him chairman of the committee on res. oluti ns. The fox and him being associated in this duty, came to the conclusion to prolong the labors of the convention and secure themselves fees and notorie ty. To do this they raised the question whethei the resolutions should be ad° dressed to the Almighty, who had di rected Noah to build the ark or to Noah himself. During the consideration of the question in the convention the fox proposed that one should be sent out to canvass t he district ana take the vote of the entire animal kingdom upon it, and recommend the ass t r the position, on account of the strength of his see and his zeal in the cause The ass in oirn so soon as he was chosen r quest ed that the fox should be cent with him to keep a correct count of the votes cast. The agreement between them was that the ass should make the speeches and enjoy all the honor,and the fox receive all the pay And this, my friends is how the jack as became the prototype and god-father of stump speakers and political ora tors. This is exemplified even to this day. Let a business man step from his store or counter-room,to take any part in pol itics, or at least to go so fer as to make speeches, and nine-tenths of Ire busi ness community wili at once say he is an ass; he had better attend to his own busi ness. And again.when worthy men are urg i cd by their friqnds to take office upon themselves for the public good, aod discharge the duties of their office with fidelity without regard to parties,friends or foes, it i3 often that such men think I themselves asso by the time their term is expired; for if they have not some | political fox in their employ or counsel, they will be banished or ostracised for their integrity. If a man, prompt in his own ambi tion, and the flattery of fiiends and ad herents,and assurances of success, keeps constantly putting himself forward as a candidate for a series of years, spending his time and money to obtain what be never gets, the exclusion is that if b don’t think himself; u ass at the last,he u irht to.
