Letters from the People
FROM TUCKER COUNTY.

Ournew Board of County Supervisors
met at the Court House on the Goth day
of June, and organized and elected John
Adams Clerk of the Board, wise Sc
lection. Mr.. Adams is Clerk of the
Circuit Court, and makes good officer.
Mr.. A. II. Bowman, Clerk of the Board
of Registration, whose polluted and
filthy hand did the scratching on reg
istration day, had the impudence to try
and get the appointment of Clerk of the
Board of Supervisors, after doing all he
could to disfranchise 4 majority of the
legal voters of the county. But the
Supervisors could not see it. The Board
transacted the necessary business and
adjourned on the second day.
Mr.. A. Fl. Bowman need need not ask
an office from the people of Tucker, at
ter acting as Clerk of the Board of Reg
istration and assisting them in their
dirty work. Radicals who are honest
men. do not pretend to deny that
the action of the Registrars shows
great partiality and malice toward their
political opponents, and that the action
OfOld BOreman's tools are not controlled
| by law or regard for the rights OF
their political opponents. They are
perhaps ''the best proof of the doctrine
of total depravity that the country can
now afford The laws and the rights
of the people are disresarded, their ac-
tiOns are the embodiment OF meanness,
using their power to devil and harrass
their fellow men. May the Great Ruler
of the Universe pity their poor perish
ing souls, and give them TO see them
selves as others see them. May
He not summon their poor souls
before the Great Registrar above,
in their undone and erring con-
dition, to prove their Loyalty to the
constitution of the kingdom of Christ.
apprehend that he will summon them
before the judgment seat with the
charges and specifications of their guilt
written in a bold hand by pen dipped
in the blood of their mercitul and Just
Savior, Jesus Christ. Why do not they
(the professed followers of their Lord
and Savior,) as Registrars, summon
their fellow man before their judgment
bar with the charge of the oflense COM
mitted written in bold aid plain letters,
by pen dipped in the ink of honesty,
that the accused may know what is en-
pected of them. Instead Of doing their
duty as honest men should do, the Pres
ident of the Board of Registrars sits in
his Shiny seat and calls out, "Mr. A.
come forward and prove your loyalty.
Mr.. Clark swear this mau." After the
witness has taken a solemn oath that
he has never sympathized or in any way
given aid or comfort TO the enemy of
his country, he still demands of him
to prove his loyalty. An impossibility.
| suppose the way he wants man to
prove his loyalty to his satisfaction is
to prove that he votes the Radical
ticket, and do rs he does, swallow the
negro, wool, smell and all. 1t is gen.
orally believed by the citizens of the
county that the President of the Board
of Registrars was one of the men who
assisted in having the following order
sent out to fifteen or twenty of his
neighbOrs, and that he received pOr-
tion of the money extorted from the
people by this order
