Maj. Hargroves, the Radical post
master at Rome, sent the following
letter to Mr.. w. L. Goodwin, the
Revenue officer at Gainesville +;
ROME, Ca, August %, 1876.
Col. Goodwin:
DEAR SIR: i have Just received yours Of
the DIST Am glad TO hear from you, and nos
displeased at action of Macon convention. /
will see you in short time, and arrange tor All
active canvass Of our district Hope you will
let me suggest, in a spirit Of kindness, that you
be little cautious as to Congressional matters
at this time, and hope you will confer with Col.
Glenn of Dalton Do not just now say any
thing against DR. FELTON,. He does not wish
Dabnsy elected, and cannot afford TO let him
be- with present surroundings. l have much
TO tell YOU, and do not array Felton's friends
against us lust yet We will be able TO make
an alliance offensive aud defensive with the in
dependents az between FELTON, and Dabney. 1t
ia war to the knife, and we must be as wise as
serpents and as harmless as doves, and watch
our opportunity. ! viii give you my plan
when gee you, and you must come down here
Saturday to our barbecue and mass meeting.
We will map out the campaign then. Keep
silent till you see my plan. Write and let me
know If you can be h9re Saturday. | have
written to Gil M TO come,
Yours truly,
H. b. HARGRovE.
Now, let it be understood that no
one had anything to do with this let
ter but Maj Hargrove but it shows
what he means in this Congressional
campaign. Says Hargrove, "be a
little cautious as to Congressional
matters at this time. "Do not just
now, say anything against DR.. Eel
ton. He does not want Dabney
elected, and | cannot afford to let
him be with present surroundings"
Going on in the letter, Maj. Har~
grove says: owe will be able to
make an alliance offensive and de-
fensive with the independents as be-
tween FELTON, and Dabney. 1t is
war to the knife, and we must be as
wise as serpentS and harmless as
doves and watch our opportunity"
Democrats, do you understand what
Hargrove means by "alliancc often
sive and defensive 7" He means
thereby to split the Democratic par
ty of this Congressional district and
secure Republican members of the
Legislature. "War to the knife !"
"War" against whom 7 The Dem
ocratic party, and in doing SO, he
proposes to wage that "war" with
Democ rats against Democrats, maxi
ing the independents the instruments
Of his crusade against the Demo-
cratic party.
This letter of Hsrgrove's shows
conclusively why he is in favor of
DR.. FELTON,. Now, we tell all Dem
ocrats Mr.. Hargrove has no interest
whatever in DR.. Felton's election
but for using that election to split
the Democratic party. This every
man can see who has a thimble full
of brains. Are the Democrats of
this Congressional district willing to
unite with Hargrove in the accom-
plishment of his purpose Y-Carters-

RIDING TWO HORSES.
CARrERsvILLE, Sept. 18th. 1876.

CARIERSNiLLE, Oept' lotu' AofO'
On the night of DIR. Feltons arrival in Car
tersville from Washington lie made speech to
the crowd which assembled to hear him. In
course of his remarks he said that there was
no difference between the Northern Democrat
and Northern Radicals in feeling towards the
South. He spoke OF Tiden and Hayes as be
ing good honest men. Said each political par
ty had pat forward their best men for President
and Vice President. Said the race between
Tilden and Hayes would be doubtful He also
said not to gire tie Democrats too large paajori-
tn: that it would have a depressing and disas-
trous effect on the North; that each party in the
North was bent on getting rid of the corruption
in the government, and no matter lCtich cdndi
date ,cds elected ii would be great improve.
ment and told an anecdoe which ended, amy
thing, good Lord for change"

G IL. BATES.

j. +. FIELD.
To this statement of what DIR. Fele
ton did say, a large number of names
could be got in addition to those all
ready to it. Pert of those given
above we're FELTON, men in 1874
The purpose of DR. FELTON, in saying
what he did on that occasion is clear
to blind man. He was bidding for
Radical votes. While he was nom
inally for Tilden, he was throwing
cold water on the Democratic cause.
His statement that the issue was
doubtful was encouragement to the
Radicals, and Encouragement to the
Democrats. each party bent on
getting rid of corruption :" DR.. Eel
ton knew better than that when he
said it. The Republican party has
been in power since the 4th of March
1861, and not a solitary Radical
rogue has ever been exposed till the
Democrats got majority in the
House in December, 1870.
No one knows better than DR.,
FELTON, that Hayes as President will
be clay in the hands of such men as
Morton and others to be moulded to
their will.
He talks of anything tor change.
We do not want change of men
only; we a change of parties.
DR.. FELTON, cannot ride two horses
in this campaign. The success of
the Democratic party and its can
didates and principles are nothing to
him when interposed in the path of
his ambition. To him the end is all
the means nothing.

PARTY OF SANDER.

THE Republican party is branded
as the party of SANDER. 1t goes out
as tho party of exposed corruption,
and persistent and determined at
tack upon every reputation present
ed to tho American people, in which
there is true worth and greatness. -
Fortunately the reign of SANDER is
almost at end. 1t has ceased to have
the slightest effect, and it will only
serve to characterize this day as the
enc in which no reputation however
high, no character however noble,
could escape the foulest, baseSt CAL
jimmy, while it is accumulating a
merited mass of its own garbage,
beneath which to bury party that
has lived upon corruption and has
stiffled itself with uttered SANDER of
others.

THE CENTENNIAL CRowD.-The
crowd of visitors now in Philadelphia
is placed at 100000 by some of the
papers of that city, far exceeding the
Fourth of July numbers. The side
walks are reported as almost impassi-
BILE, except in the direction the crowd
is moving. The hotels and boarding
houses are doing a rushing business,
but so far there is no intimation OF
an advance in there rates.

TINS sudden and general determi-
nation to carry the campaign on the
Southern issue shows deep and I'M
comfortable alarm among the Repub>
liean leaders. They are evidently
panic stricken. They have by this
time compared notes, and their con-
clusiOn appears to be that on fair
and honest canvass Oh the real issues
of the year they will lose the country,
and in desperation the word has gone
out TO fling the bloody shirt to the
breeze, and make the appeal, not to
the reason, the honesty and patriot
isra Of the country, but to prejudice,
hatred, fear and ignorance.

ANOTHER DENIAL.

Hon. NJ. A. Chandler called this
morning to say that he never wrote
a letter to Hon. VIM. II. FELTON, in

man or woman that he was ever, at
any time or under any circumstances,

'independent' candidacy.-Atlanta

NO RBFORMER.

JUDGE JERE BLACK, in his recent
caustic letter to General Garfield,
gives the following sharply outlined
sketch of Hayes: "You would have
us believe that Hayes, if elected,
will reform abuses and give US a
pure administration. Your states
mont, and that of other gentlemen
equally reliable, make it certain that
Mr.. Hayes bears an irroproachable
character in all his private relations
| do not doubt his possession of that
negative honesty which it is a dis
grace TO want. | accord him those
tame household virtues which entitle
him to the respect of his neighbors
and the confidence of his family but
he can no more stem the torrent of
Republican corruption than he can
swim against the rapids of Niagar a.
His whole history shows that he
would not even make an effort to do
so. He has been most happily CALI
ed "a man of tried subserviency.'"
