20 THE NOTERs or FRANKLIN County:
| hereby take occasion to announce
myself Il candidate for reelection to the
Office of Sheriff, which now hold,
having been advised to this course by
very many of the voters Of the county,
they feeling rs | do, that, having held
the Office but two years, while for many
years il haas been held from four 10 siN
years in succession by the same incum-
bent, should have been nominated ac-
cording to precedent.
Not supposing there was any reason
for treating me differently from what
other memters of the party holding the
same office had been treated / con
fdently expected the denomination ut
Sheldon and did not make the effort /
otherwise should to secure it.
The Inconvenience and injury that re-
suit from removing. torso short period
ali can readily see, and trusting this
matter will be set right, | hopefully
await the result. a. j. SoULE,
st. Adams, July 81, 1868.
From The foregoing, which we publish
by request, it viii l-o seen that Mr.. Soule
is to run as an independent candidate
for the office Of Sheriff. We have only
time to-day to say that we think Mr..
Soulc is taking a very injudicious step,
ond one that will not likely meet with
much favor at the hands of the freemen
of this country When Mr.. Soulc al
lowed his name to be presented at the
Sheldon Convention he did so with an
implied understanding that he would
abide the result Of the convention ; and
ii i'll becomes him now because The de-
legates saw fit to put another gentleman
in nomination, who is every way fitted
for the position, to put himself in nomi-
nation. There were other candidates
before the Convention who were sur
prised at the result, and with equal pro-
pcrity they might do as Mr.. SOule is
doing, run as independent candidates
But it is easy to see that such a course
of procedure would do away with the
necessity OF conventions and producein-
tcrminablc divisions and quarrels. We
shall have more to say on this subject
hereafter

Hc0djng H0fter..

The Weekly Messenger of the 3lst,
says to its readers: Our readers will
not fail TO notice that we are of late fur
nishing more than our usual quantity of
reading Natter We do not wish to dis
pute the truth Of this assertion, for we
have noticed that since The enlargement
of the weekly TRANSCRIPT, and The start
ing OF the Daily TRANSCRIPT, our veneer
able contemporary has done better by
its readers in the amount Of matter fur
nishod; and we are sure die community
that reads the Messenger, will thank as
for this increase, which we have been
the means Of bringing about; il being
the reaction caused by our action"
that with all the Dragging Of our veneer
able contemporary, we beat him all
hollow" right along, month after
month, and shall of course continue to
do 50. Although our paper is furnished
for the low price of 50 per year; though
it is larger and better printed than the
Messenger, which is usually furnished
for $3.50, though the price varies accord
ing to customers, from 50 to 50, yet we
print a great deal more reading matter
each month than that paper does. For
instance, during the month Of July Just
closed, in which the Messenger boasts
of having furnished "mOre than its
usual quantity of reading MATTER" the
TRANSCRIPT publishes ninety-ttcO and
about half columns of reading matter
and the Messenger only cighty-tpO and
half columns--a difference of ten COT
u1,3nS q month";; and our columns con-
tain by far the most matter, besides, as
they are longer, and we do not " lead -
everything TO make Il show, but put in
matter taken from other papers. usually,
in solid type, with no leads between the
lines--the Messenger, ON the other hand,
leading" almost everything but its
stories. Without thinking of any bust
ness strife with our venerable contem-
porary, for whom we entertain most
cordial good wishes, but instead, in the
usual way of business, it will be seen
that the readers of the TRANSCRIPT en-
joyed in the month of July, for 1853 cents,
the reading OF ninety-ta0o and half
columns of well printed and well chosen
matter, fresh and good; while the read
crs of the Messenger paid 20 90 cents
for The reading of eighty-taoO and a half
smaller columns, and an advertisement,
of five columns, consisting of the first
part of a story which will not be finished,
except III the Ledger. AS our venerable
neighbor mas teise.. I" Iraeeina, -rre
think IL only fair to publish this hasty
estimate, made in the first place for our
own private amusement, and we publish
it with the simple remark to readers
You pays your money, and you takes
your choice"

THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT.-Thc
fourteenth amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United states has been adopt
ed by moro than two thirds of the States
of the Union. This amendment. il may
be remembered, is the one which de-
ized in the United States, and subject
TO the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens
of the United States, and of the States
wherein they rcsde.O 1t also regulates
the appointment of Representatives in
Congress according to the number of
citizens in the respective States, eXclu-
ding indians not taxed, and declares
anew who may be Senators and Repre-
sentatiVcs, excluding certain persons
who have been or may hereafter be en-
gagged in rebellion against the United
States, and also declares that the validi-
ty of the public debt shall not be ques-
toned, etc. The State of Georgia wasthe
last to ratify The amendment, so far, her
Legislature passing it on the 10Th of
July, and the President making procla-
nation thereof on the 9th. Accom-
panying the Presidents proclamation is
FORMULATION from the Secretary of
state, to the effect that said amendment
has been ratified by threc-fourths of the
States, and has become valid as part
OF the Constitution Of the United States.

with clearing up the FOG in Nh. Seward
mind relative to the status of the recon-
structed States in the South. It will be
recalled that in his proclamation of the
18th of July Mr.. Seward was not able to
see that the ratification of the fourteenth
amendment by these States counted fol
anything, while in that of the 9th he
puts thcm on the same footing as the
other States.

GENTLEMEN-I am stranger to you, which
you we'll know; but as my wife takes the
"Spectdtor," and has not paid her subscrip
ton for = years, l have concluded to drop you
few lines concerning matters and things In

corn and cotton-the fruit crop is almost fail

have any quantity of chills and fever at this
time in Georgia But so tar as the hog and
dumping go we are thar, for we have plenty
of them, and also we have plenty of all the
good things that epicures are fond of, &c.
AS to politics, matters are all right. | was

concourse present Maj. A. B. Cumming of
Augusta, and Gen'l Du Rose of Wilkes co. :,

the desired effect. I believe that there we're
one hundred negroes changed on that day and
rallied to the flag of Seymour and Blair, &c.
| never saw you, and never expect to see
you but believe would stand you a pair
of ten dollar boots that Seymour will be the
next President of the United States.
My cotton is good, and as soon as I get it
out and sell the same, will express you all the
money that my wife, Mrs. Ca'harne G. Cowart
is due you, and if there be enough money left,
[ will send you sufficient to pay you for five
years in advance for your valuable paper-the

My wife is perfectly carried away with your
paper. She says, If you are bachelor, you
ought to get married, and if you are married,
