MEssRs. EDIToRs-As the time
for the several elections to be held in
the county draws nigh, it is aston
ishing to see what amount of disin-
terested patriotism is being develop
ed, and how many warm friends are
urging other friends to run for Office
for these hard times and dull days
the Sims" and the "outs" are indeed
making things lively.
To the thoughtful looker-on, the
question occurs is not the carcass
too fat that attracts SO many birds Of
preyY Would not a little whole
some retrenchment allay somewhat
this morbid patriotism of our public
spirited citizens Oh, how we long
for the good old times of the past
when our public functionaries, high
and low, had more regard for the
honors than the emoluments of Of
fee, and of their good name were al
most as jealous as they were of the
virtue of their wives. Then the
laws were made ard administered in
the interests of the people, and COM
binations to have it otherwise would
not have met the least liberation.
Upon what ground of right is it
that one mansof no Better claims or
qualifications than scores Of his fell
citizens, should draw from the
public treasury many hundred per
cent more for some public service
than he would or could otherwise
make in his private pursuit.
Are the people submitting to these
because they are better able to bear
them now, than they were before the
war; They did not and would not
tolerate them then. Is it because
they feel that they cannot now help
themselves Their means ofrelief,
public opinion and the ballot, they
have now as then. Combination
and chicanery will ever keep this
burden upon them unless the tax
payers, the bone and sinew of the
country, shall arise to the full meas
ure Of their manhood and teach their
public servants that they shall no
longer be their public masters.
No man can give valid reason
why the taxes Of Cobb county and
Of the State Of Georgia, except as to
interest on bonds, should be one whit
higher now than before the war, and
yet they are more than quadrupled.
The remedy is in the hands ofthe
people and if they do not use it they
show themselves unworthy of the re-
lief for which they sigh.

In view of the result of the democratic
convention in the Fourth Ward, decent peo-
pie generally are enquiring whether the
democratic party in that ward, as party,
endorses the outcome. What the people
want to know is Just where the party
stands concerning the evils ana abuses en-
bodied in the nominee OF that con-
vention. 1t is true that the party in this
city goes into the canvass on the issue of
free rum9 Tits misfortune for those who
have faith in it that the party. in some cases,
stands as the champion of whisky,or against
the better sentiment to be found in both
parties. Thedemocrats, in convention at
Frankfort, left no room to doubt the inten
ton on these questions. They accepted the
Baxter law as the most efficient yet brought
into operation and further resolved that
"none but honest, competent and
sober men should be nominated to
Office" If the democrats of this city
persist in ignoring these absolutely.essential
issues, they might just as well fold their
party tents ands1iee to place of refuge. In
sone cases they have gone squarelyin the
face of their Frankfort brethren. They have
nominated men who are habitual drunkards,
grossly immoral in character and ,eanduct
and absolute stenches in the presence
of self respecting people. If there
is any one authorized to speak
for the democrats of this city, it
is high time something was said on this
point, for the work of the wards in most. so
far indicates that the democrats prefer
drEnkards and dead-beats to temperate, de-
that the republicans are not whit better.
The snen they have selected, as a general
thing, though not so conspicuous
ly grovelling and I0z as some put
forth by the other side, are not
as general thing, tit for decent mems
support. 1t might be well for brother Ray
to take tie stand and tell as as God fear
ing man and fearless worker. just what he
would do in the emergency. As il is, we can't
vote for either side in many of the wards,
without moral and mental degradation.
What shall We do? If the field Is relinquished
to the roughs and rum bummers as in the
Fourth Ward we might just as well PREF are
to relinquish the city to the dregs of the
populace, for by a singular chance both
men represent that species ia this case

TUESDAY, APRIL 81:

The repeal of the ranking privilege mas,
tor some reason. delayed the appearance Oh
the annual report of the department OF ~eIi,
culture. The report for the past year Is 'aio
TO be- an unusually valuable one' contain
ing both home and foreign Correspondence
statistics and other information. The House
agricultural committee some time ago
recommended the printing of 100000 copies
Of this report. but it has as yet been un-
touched by the Senate committee. IL Is
b,ntod that the reason Of this is because the
committee are waiting for the passage or a
law for its free distribution before it is
nrinted. This delay doesn't seem profitable
as many thousands of letters are daliy re-
ceived at Washington asking for copies o.
this imprinted work.
