EDITORS CHRONICLE The time is
approaching rapidly for the people of
Old Montgomery to select some one to
represent her interest in the next gen
eral assembly. Can we get the man to
60 that viii do us the most good? Can
we get the man that will build himself
a platform for the good of his State
and will work for the interest of Old
Montgomery, and will not tie himself
to any clique, and move and act only
when they dictate for him? This
county needs man that will go with
the firm determination not to multiply
laws upon the statute books and make
them more complicated, but to erase
from that book many laws which are
useless, and put in their stead but few,
and have those few written in style
according to the rules of purity, pro-
priety and precision. We need some
one that will work to remodel the rev.
enue laws of our State. We need
some man that will labor necessarily
to draft law that will force our prop
erty to be assessed according toits true
value. We cry aloud for that man
that will go there with the determine
ton to remodel the multiplicity of
needless laws upon our statute books,
which regulate the proceedings of our
County and Criminal Courts. These
are burdens grievous to be borne. We
must have our taxes reduced yet crime
must not go unpublished. We must
have our County affairs attended "a
correctly, yet we need not pay so much
for the i1histle. Let refrt9,chDem be
the ,oatch- Uord and the pass ,oOrd that
viii sound upon bis ears in thunder
tones, until nc brings relief to the
distressed taapayeE. We have in pros
pect bright future for representation
in the halls of Qongress-oae of NJ ont |
gomery mast gifted sons stands promi- |
nent upon the political field for the
honorable position, The Office has
sought the man and he has molly 70. !
sponded to the general call. Likewise, /
let the Office seek the man to represent
US in the legislative halls Then we /
may expect brilliant future to begin
to dawn upon cur political sky. Then
We may expect to lear the yof Mont
eagle above the roar and
din of battle leading van to victory,

that they may stimulate our leaders in

GAINESVILLE, :::AUGUsr1. 1874.
DORSEY B. THOMAS.


We publish to-day, the circular
Of Hon. Dorsey B. Thomas, in reponse
to those who have connected his name
with the candidacy for Governor. 1t is
an honest and manly declaration of
his views upon the various issues Of
the day, and its tone is in keeping with
the unassuming modesty, SO becoming
in public as well as private life. His
statesmanlike appreciation of the stu
ton and the patriotic spirit which per-
vades his utterancss carry with them,
the conviction of his fitness for the
Office. We would long since, have
suggested him as the right man for the
place, but for the fact. that We con-
ceive harmony to be of higher import
ance than the man-among so many
who are whorthy AMI competent
aud the additional fact that the claim
of West Tennessee to furnish the next
Governor, has been so generally con-
ceded. that any conflict with that claim
promises division and defeat. These
considerations have kept us silent con-
corning the man who, in our opinion,
can do more, as the candidate for Gov.
Governor, to conciliate and unite the
discordani elements of the opposition
than, perhaps, any other who has been
spoken Of in this connection. As much
as We deprecate the spirit of section
alism. in State which is necessarily a
unit, in all things. save this spirit of To-
cal jealousy, yet the elements ofdiscord
introduced within our borders, by
corrupt federal government. are of a
character so dangerous to our liberty
and prosperity as citizens of once
sovereign State, that, in order to secure
strength enough to resist successful
". federal invasion of our dearest
rights, it becomes our duty to sacrifice
personal preferences-everything save
honor and principle-for unity of pur-
pose and cOncertof action Actuated
by this feeling, We have not felt at lib
erty to press the claims of any man to
the candidacy for Governor-looking
TO the Convention for the final decis-
ion of this question, and resolved to
do orr best to secure the election of
its nominee

THE probabilities are that Beecher' S
committee will pronounce him not
guilty, and attempt TO strengthen their
verdict by a plea of insanity against
Tilton. This fraud may satisfy Ply
mouth church, but until his and Mrs.
Tilton's letters are proven to be foPger-
les, Beecher will bear, to the outside
world, a mark upon his brow as
black and ineffaceable as that of Cain,
and however much Mrs. Tilton may
be pitied, as his victim, her punish
ment will be even greater than his.
They may prove Tilton insane, or a
liar, but this will not weaken the facts
he has published Their guilt is re-
corded in their handwriting and moth
ing they can prove against him, except
the forgery of their letters, will invali-
date his testimony. If Beecher had
been studying the lessons taught by
the Divine Savior he processes to love
and worship, at the time he was send
ing Sharpe rifles to Kansas, he might
have been spared his present guilt and
degradation.

BELIEVING that the proposition of
Col. Birch, to re-establish the State
Bank, is worthy of grave considera-
ton, and endorsing, generally, his
views Of the benefits it can secure to
the State, yet the time has not come
when that consideration is imperative.
In the first place, its establishment is
forbidden by the State Constitution.
and its usefulness would be impaired,
if not destroyed by the ten per cent.
tax imposed by federal law, unjustly
and, we believe, unconstitutiOnally
levying that tax on all banks not bear
ing the trade mark of the Radical ad-
ministration. How can these obstacles
be removed :? is the first question that
arises, and until it is satisfactorily an
swered, there is no pressing necessi
ty for discussion, and, in view of the
political complications already exist
ing, it can do no harm, and may do
good, to adjourn it to some future day
when the absence of excitement shall
leave the popular mind in a better
mood for calm investigation of so i'm
portant a subject.

National educational Association.

The fourteenth annual meeting OF
the National Educational Association
will be held at Detroit, Michigan, on
the 4th, 9th and 9th days of August.
Distinguished educational men from
all parts Of the country and the Cana
das will be in attendance. Superin-
tendents of Public Instruction of the
different States OF the Union viii be
present and viii also hold meeting.
State Superintendent Fleming will
leave for Detroit to day.
One Of the most important questions
likely to CONG upfor discussion will
be that with reference to the effect the
civil rights bill, if passed, would have
upon the Observation-Disclosures coun-
try. We are constrained to believe that
there will be very little if any differ
ence of opinion on that point, and
that any such measure will be con
demned, In unequivocal terms, as mis-
chieyOus and destructive of education
al systems, which have been perfected
only after years of unremitting labor.

ALL who are looking to Congress to
deepen the mouth Of the Mississippi,
or improve the rivers of the West, are
doomed to be disappointed. Move
ments in that direction are mere tubs
thrown to the whale. The policy of
the Radicals is to build up the East
and impoverish the West and South.
To improve the Mississippi to the
Gulf, might divert trade from Chicago,
and business from the crafts that nav
igate the Lakes and canals as well as
from railroads to New York, Boston
and Philadelphia. Nothing of the
sort will be done for the West and
the South until they combine and
drive from power those who seek to
subordinate the interests of the whole
country to the i'll gotten wealth of mo-
nopolies.

An article is going the rounds of
the press, Illuminating threats of des-
truction against the Oranges. As
matter of course, the threat comes
from the eastern rings and monopOlies
which hope to intimidate the Patrons
of Husbandry, and in order to raise
up domestic enemies, they-the rugs
propose 10 cease all business with mer-
chants and other traders in the sec
tons where Changers abound. This
noisy assumption of bravado, only
serves to betray their fears and their
Consciousness of the magnitude of the
movement against their strongholds of
corruption. They greatly mistake,
however. the character and strength
of the Oranges if they expect to fright
en- them from their purpose by such
idle buster On the contrary, the eff
feet will he to multiply the members
of the Order and inspire them with
renewed zeal and energy to win the vic
tory already assured. No step back
wards. is their motto, and to illustrate
it, is their fixed purpose

BEFORE the CHRONICLE makes its
next regular appearance, the election
will have become thing of the past,
and success and defeat will have had
their appropriate demonstrations of
joy and disappointment on the part of
the candidates and their friends. Time
will cure the disappointment, and 81
lence the voice of exultatioA, long ere
the evil influences of the canvass will
cease to be felt as social curse. Pal
pablo and covert misrepresentation,
false insinuations and assertions, empty
promises and insinuated favors-all
have been used as means Of procur-
ing votes, whilst indiscret zeal and i'll
regulated passion have engendered
personal feelings which the birth of
moment, may live for years, as dis
turbing social elements. These must
continue TO be incidents of every cleo
ton, and each succeeding one will,
with an increasing ratio, multiply the
evil effects, unless generous forgive
ness and large charity arbitrate the
foolish differences resulting from
mischieyOus partizan zeal. But pre-
ventiOn is easier than the cure of these
evils. And if the people will resolve
in good faith, to select their candidates
for office. and repudiate volunteers,
the evil effects of elections, upon the
harmony and morals of society, will,
in great measure, cease to follow, be-
cause harmony will prevail and excite
ment be toned down to a quiet deter
to discharge a solemn duty.
But if the people will not do this, the
next best thing is to substitute APP
pointment for election, and thus give a
quietus to the periodical, political tur-
MOL so damaging to public virtue and
so destructive of the best interests of
the State.

THOSE parties in the South, who
take comfort from Grants declaration,
that he would rather see South Caro-
lima under Democratic rule, than in
the power of the thief, Moses and his
band of robbers, may be premature in
their award of praise to the chief Grim
iaal. 1t il well known that Grants
influence has made Louisiana and Ar
kansas what they are and that the
same malignant influence keeps South
Carolina what it is. The secret Of
Grants declaration is neither penitence
for what he has done, nor sym
pathy for the sufferers, but simply his
modification at being snubbed and de-
fed by Moses, who is a scallawag-a
native thief. Grants policy is to rule
the SOuth through carpet baggers-
importations of uudoubted Radical
specimens of the true yankee stock.
Moses, though a thief is SOutherner
and. aud among other rights denied to
the natives of the South. is the right to
steal. which is reserved as the exclu-
sive prcrogative of foreign carpet-bag-
baggerS aud native negroes Grant
can [ remove Moses without offending
his party and, therefore his willingness
that he may be defeated by the Demo
Gratis. In accordance with this policy,
the scallawag Alcorn, of Mississippi,
was beaten by the carpet Dagger, Ames,
although the latter is not proven to be
a better Radical, or Il baser scoundrel
than the former. The sectional gov
ernment at Washington, is sectional in
its entire policy, and however accom-
nlished a Southern thief may be, his
nativity demands that he shall give
Mace 60 a Northern thief though Oftu-
ferior capacity. 1t is not enough that
a man shall be 4 rogue, to commend
him 70 the confidence Of Radlcallsm,
at head quarters, but he muSt be a
Northern man and Radical 20 eoet,
So order TO meet the requirements OF
the aforesaid policy of pure, unmixed
sectioualism. Scallawags are tolerated
when they eau be used to create dlvis-
ION in the ranks 0f the whites, but
even these are dispensed Eith where
ever Independents volunteer to do tine
dirty work.
