The democratic party have changed
the time of their meeting from the
14th inst. to the J6th and in the
meantime the expectant candidates are
treating and palavering around to a
great extent. We have heard of six
candidates for Representative that in
tend to run in the nomination, and we
are nut exactly able to say how many
outside or independent candidates we
will have. There are seven candidates
to our knowledge for the office of Tax
Receiver and Collector since the two
offices have been consolidated. We
can find numbers of men that believe
that each one individually considered
(himself being the judge) is the most
suitable person iri the county to fill
said ofiice. As for the other offices of
county we believe we will have plen
ty of men willing to serve their coun
try by filling them. We mention this

Shelter from Colquitt County.
Moultrie, Ga., Sept. 10, 1S72.
Messrs. Editors: On Saturday, the
7tli inst., the “Administration Repub
licans” held a meeting at the Court
house ; the meeting was tolerably
well attended considering there are so
few of that stripe in Colquitt. The name
given above is a name that the} 7 lay
claim to. We have all along been
calling them “ Radicals” for short,
and think it is just about as broad as
it is long ; but they claim now that all
are Republican, or at least are going
to support a strong Republican; and
for the sake ol making a distinction
one class are “ Greeley Republicans”
or “ Greeleyites,” and the other “Ad
ministration Republicans.” We heard
one ot the leading men of the party
remark that the ‘Straight-outs’ and
‘Administration Republicans’ were
about to come together ; but we hard
ly think so yet; if too straight foi
Greeley we think they are for Grant
also. But to the business of the meet
ing.
After deliberate consideration we
believe we will have to say that they
did no business. The President of
the League presided, aud expressed
himself not in favor of nominations,
especially lor State and county officers,
but for President, Congressmen, and
the like, he thought it best to hold
nominations. “But,” said lie, “so far
as a Representative is concerned we
ail know one another here, and if a
good man wants the office let him
come out and we will vote for him
aud elect him if we like him. 1 had
rather not be bound to vote for a man
i do not like, and this sometimes bap-
pet s in nominations; therefore I op
pose them.” But the best thing we
heard during the meeting, or at least
the be.-t to our fancy, was the opposi
tion the Chairman or “President” ex
pressed to the “nigger”: he said lie
never believed in giving a “nigger”
office or elevating him "■to a station he
teas never destined to fill-" The Hon.
AV. W. Watkins ex-representative
made a short speech and Mr. James
Murphy a prominent member of the
party addressed the meeting for an
hour or more; but beiug the greater
part of the time of the meeting enga
ged in business that called us from the
room we cannot give you any of the
good things iie said or even tin small
est extract from his speech, but after
the meeting adjourned we heard the
'Tiesideut” remark, that they had a
merely to show to you that patriot
ism is not dead, but that we have good,
patriotic men in abundance who are
willing to sacrifice themselves, to give
up the quietude of a private life for
the good of the country.
If we understand your correspond
ent “Pine Knot” we are willing to
strike hands with him in one particu
lar, and that is iri bringing the Capital
back to Aliliedgeville, just where it
should he. and we are willing to use
our utmost endeavors to elect a Repre
sentative that will favor this move.
There iias been, of course a great im
provement upon the preceding Legis
lature in tiie present but we think it
would be an easier task to enact good
and wholesome laws in the quiet,good
old town of Miiledgeville than at At
lanta where "Rascality ran rampant"
so long, and "Rogues ruled the roast."
AVe can’t help from believing that a
demoralizing influence pervades the at
mosphere where such men as his ex-
oxcelleucy Bullock, Blodgett & Kim-
bal and the host of thieves, scalawags
and negro equality lovers once were
supreme. !5o we say back with the
Capital to old Miiledgeville, from
whence it should never have been re
moved. j. t. J. c.
She Press Convention.
The Press Convention in Atlanta,
met Friday morning, pursuant to ad
journment from -Thursday.
Mr. Clark, of the Constitution.
Chairman of the Committee on Busi
ness, made the following report, which
was received. The report was taken
up seriatim, discussed and adopted, as
follows :
WhekeaS, The late Legislature
most signally failed to recognize the
services of the press, and the rights of
its members as citizens of Georgia, by
according to them that consideration
justly due it; and
Whereas, It refused to pass sever
al bills prepared at the instance of the
Press Convention for the common
benefit of its members ; therefore, be
it
Resolved, by the Press of Georgia in
convention assembled, That we ear
nestly deprecate the course of the late
Legislature, and especially of the Sen
ate, in refusing to legislate in behalf
of newspaper interests upon just and
equitable basis. Adopted.
Resolved, That we strongly condemn
the action of the Legislature, first in
the history of Georgia, to impose a
tax upon the press, utterly ignoring
its tlibrts in behalf of liberty, educa
tion, good government, civilization
and Cliiistiarnty, and the general in
terests of the people and State. Adopt
ed.
Resolved, That in defeating the bill
regulating the matter of legal adver
tisements, the Legislature acted ca
priciously and unreasonably, as said
bill afiected chiefly publishers and
their rights, and did not infringe upon
the rights or legal interests of others.
Adopted.
Resolved. That we express our un
feigned astonishment at the course of
certain Senators in going beyond legi
timate argument in denunciation ol
the Press, and that we pledge our
selves to hold up to just censure any
public man so far behind the times and
ages in which he lives, as to deny the
press its proper and rightful rank
amom: the grand foremost agencies of
progress and civilization.
Resolved, That we regard the news
paper as an individuality, as an insti
tution, separate and apart from either
proprietors or conductors, with an
existence all its own, and as such
wielding ail influence greater than any
single person or set of persons, and
second to none in the laud; and cer
tainly not inferior to that of many men
in public station notoriously elevated
to their position by the power of the
press.
Resolved, That the committee ap
pointed at. the last semi-annual meet
ing of the Association to superintend
the various press interests needing
legislation be and are hereby instruct
ed to push them before the incoming
Legislature in January next, and pub
lish their report on tax as soon as pos
sible; and that we, members ot the
press of Georgia, in convention as
sembled, do hereby determine to as
sert our rights with one common
voice, and pledge our undivided aud
professional influence aud energies in
aid of the beforementioned commit
tees; and in their efforts to secure those
rights. •
Resolved, That the press of the State
be requested to publish these resolu
tions and the forthcoming report oi
the tax committee.
Indian 'VIonnds—Observance of the
‘•New Fire Festival.”
Tustenuggee, Fla., )
Sept. 2, 1S72. 5
Editor Sac. Morning Sties :
It seems that a correspondent of the
Tallahasse Sentinel, from the ever
glades ot Florida, has discovered a
mound, upon which is a “ large stum]
and a tree.” By whom this mound was
erected, he would like to kuovv. Can’t
say that I can tell him, but if the little
I know upon the subject will throw
any light upon it, he is quite welcome
to it, and would have received it ere
this, but for extreme indisposition.
I have never seen the mound refer
red to, though I have seen many simi
lar ones, and" one iu particular that
doubtless cost more labor to erect
than it would to make a hundred
thousand bales of cotton. During my
sojourn with the Western Indians,
many years ago, I was informed by
them that before they were molested
and scattered by the “ pale faces,”
mounds were built by them for differ
ent purposes by different tribes. Some
tribes bad a mound for each family, as
a “family burying ground.” I have
seen numbers of them arranged with
as much regularity as an apple orchard.
Some tribes bury in common, and have
one large mound as a national cemete
ry, and one still more elevated for re
ligious purposes. At the base of the
latter is a pool of clear water (I have
seen them both natural and art ilieitil),
the red man’s “Pool of Siloam.” Here
their great “ medicine men” cleanse
themselves of all earthly filth, and as
cend the mound to its summit to hold
converse with the “ Great Spirit,” as
did Moses on Mount Sinai.
The only use to which I ever saw a
mOund put, during my stay with
the “red men,” was on “new fire
day,” (first new moon alter grass puts
up in the spring—the “Indian sum
mer,” or, “ new year’s day.”) Some
tribes on this day put out all the fire
in the tribe at sun rise, as they did
on this occasion, after which each
warrior gets a bundle of dry wood and
ascends the mound, accompanied by
the “medicine men” ot the tribe, and
while the latter invokes the “Great
Spirit” for new fire from on high, the
former works long and hard to pro
duce it by friction, which is generally
done by fair or foul means, by or be
fore the middle of the afternoon; the
warriors then all take a smoke of per
fumed sumach leaves before the fire is
polluted by the touch of a squaw for
more ordinary purposes. The first
meal prepared with “ new fire” is
taken in common at the chief’s wig
wam, the producer of the fire being
the guest or honor. On this occasion
extensive cooking arrangements had
been made, and meats of various
kinds were in the bands of the cooks,
who had promised us a ‘sun down”
meal at latest, but it was knocked into
a “torch light” one by a little incident
that came very near costing a man his
life, and your humble servant some
hard worJs. A free trader who had i
just come in, and wishing to smoke,
approached the cooking shed from the
west, throwing his long stiadow over
the meats that were cooking, and ere
he lit his pipe the whole was thrown
to the dogs, for not one in that tribe
would eat a mouthful of anything up
on which a human shadow was cast
From tho New York World-
The Present Aspect of the Canvass.
The tact that the Democratic-Lib
eral canvass has seemed to move rath
er heavily for the last two or three
weeks, can depress only those very ex
citable or very superficial adherents
who fancied that personal enthusiasm
for Mr. Greeley would shape thecam-
paign. Democrats of sober feelings
and steady faculties have never been
under any illusion respecting Air. Gree
ley. The boyish, or rather the baby
ish fantasy that the country would be
carried by a sort of wild applauding
effervescence, and that there would
be little to do but to stand and look
on, and admire a sky blazing with po
litical rockets to light Mr. Greeley’s
way to the White House, has subsided
not a day too soon. It was mischiev
ous while it lasted, and it is lortunale
that his personal admirers are so soon
brought face to face with the realities
of the situation.
The over-sanguine expectations of
the mercurial class of politicians are
easily accounted for; and the same
cause will explain the comparative
torpor which has succeeded so much
loolish exuberance. The wondering
curiosity which attended the nomina
tion of Mr. Greeley by the Democratic
party, and the attitude of watchful
expectation which thence ensued, cre
ated something of the deep interest
which accompanies suspense in im
portant conjunctures. Then followed
a brilliant series of conversions, or at
least accessions to the Greeley side,
some of them so unexpected aud sur
prising that people of more levity
than judgement inferred that there
was to be a general stampede from all
quarters to the Liberal camp. First,
Senator Bayard, who had vigorously
posed the new movement in the
Baltimore Convention, came over,
i’hen followed Senator Thurman, Sen
ator Casserly, and all the greater and
nearly all the lesser lights of the Detn-
have had in a strict party canvass,
such Republican leaders as Sumner.
Schurz, Trumbull, Fenton, Tipton,
Banks, Farnsworth, Palmer, Cox, and
a host of like celebrity, and four of
the most able, zealous, powerful, and
widely-circulated Republican journ
als of the country. The nomination
of Mr. Greeley, and the support given
him by this great array of Republi
can talent, will make it easy for the
multitude of honest Republican voters
who have lost confidence in Grant to
break their old party ties. Thousands
will vote for Greeley who would not
have voted for Hendricks. Instead of
the Democratic party alone, we have
the Demociafic party plus heavy Re
publican reinforcements, supporting a
candidate as thoroughly pledged to
universal amnesty, aud as heartily de- j
testing the rascality and rapacious !
carpet-bag governments, as Mr. Hen
dricks or Senators Thurman and Bay-|
ard. \\ T e shall elect with him a Dem- ‘
oeratic Congress, Democratic State
Governors and Legislatures, and Dem- ,
ocratic local officers; and we may ex- j
pect a large proportion of Democrats i
in the composition of his Cabinet, and
in his promised reconstruction of the
civil service.
The present apparent lull is a pe
riod of preparation. Tiiere is a great
deal of earnest work, a great deal of
hard fighting to be done. It is an ad
vantage to have our people realize that
they are going into a strenuous, hot
ly-contested battle, aud not into a
decorated, demonstative parade. A-
mong our leaders, both Democratic
and Liberal, we have men wise to plan
and stubborn to work; and this appar
ent stagnation of the canvass, which,
considering its causes, was sure to
come, when splendid new accessions
were no longer daily announced, is '
favorable to the success of the move- \
ment whose only real danger lay in a
foolish, over-sanguine confidence.

leading Radical measures, and manly
refusal to flatter a candidate whom his

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
Si-veil years ago we adopted the plan of sending our ’‘Farmer,” Cooking Stoves through the country
with wagons, by our traveling salesman in order to supply a want long fdlt iu the South, and that each
family might have an opportunity of seeing if not purchasing one of these indispensable household
articles. Toe abundant success of our enterprise throughout the States of Vfisaouri, Kentucky, Ten-
if-ssee and Georgia, and the universal favor with which our Stoves are received everywhere, convin-
es us that iti order to supply the continued growing demand, we must largely increase our forces at
lie Foundry ; hence we have increased our daily manufacture of this one pattern to thirty, and will
■'till further increase it to tilty if our trade continues to demand it: so you may at all times rely upon
teing supplied. Our salesmen, who will visit you, are authorized to give saiaa terms as though you
nads the purchase direct from ourselves at the Foundry. We have but one price, and from that we
never d- viate. Cooking Stoves from the important relations they bear to the every day requirements,
md upon which in so greata degree depends the convenience, comfort and happiness of every family,
nay be truly consider d the most wonderful of all mechanical constructions for domestic use. No
worthier object lias ever engaged the attention and genius of man, and in no department of invention
nave more rapid advances been made than in the improvement of this indispensable household article.
Vs we trace ti eir history from the hast rude construction, we see them gradually assuming forms of
oeauty. correct principles being developed ami applied until in the perfectness of the structure to
which your attention is iuvited, tiiere seems little room for improvement To those persons in the
Sr >ve trade who thing their business will be ruined by us an 1 who therefore oppose and misrepresent
us and our goods at all pliees, we desire to assure them that instead of being an injury to them, we
tre doing them a benefit, by building up a business which has heretofore been neglected, and by in
troducing an article of household utility, must ultimately bring them into general use iu every family.
Respectfully Yours.

since noon the day before, as most of
us had done. Such mishaps seldom
occur with the red men, except when
visited by careless persons, who are
ignorant of their peculiar customs, as
was the case with the free trader, and
this alone saved his life. I had seen
similar mishaps before, when only a
a family meal was at stake, but the in
dignation on those occasions, bore no
comparison to this one. Cooking ac
night by a single fire secures the meal
from such danger, as the shadow is
thrown from the light.

The Macon Daily Enterprise, speak

terprise, you shall have a plenty of

The Atlanta Constitution says :
Governor Smith.—Judge Walker
the radical candidate for Governor,
has made a list of appointments and
invited Governor Smith to meet him.
Governor Smith, at the beginning
of the canvas, resolved to take no
part in the eontest tor obvious reasons
of propriety. Gubernatorial duties
require bis attention. To desert
these duties and to work for re-elec
tion would be to leave the State’s
work to attend to his private interests.
In this matter, as in all others, Gov
ernor Smith is acting with that fine
sense of honor that has marked his ad
ministration, and that the people will
reward by their approval.
—The Detroit Free Press estimates
that the Duncan-Grant Convention
cost the Grantites S200,000. It is
strange that the Grantites should have
paid such a sum for a convention that
lacked at least two dollars and a halt
of being worth a continental d—ime.
[ Courier-Journal.
A recent judicial decision makes
telegraph companies responsible for
failure to transmit messages correctly
and deliver them promptly. The de
cision allows no weight whatever to
the fact that the messages are written
on blanks with printed denials of then
responsibility.
The Connecticut tobacco crop is
said to be largest and most prolific ev
er raised in that State.

And what do we find? Not reasons
for discouragement, but incentives to
resolute, hopeful activity. The con
cord of the Democratic party in ac
cepting the action at Baltimore is al
most perfect. Considering the strange
ness ol the leading nomination and the
objectionable record of the candidate,
tins unanimity satisfies the most san
guine expectations of those Democrats
who advocated the indorsement of the
Cincinnati ticket. There .will always
be grumblers, and when it so happens
that they can gain notoriety bygruinb-
iiug in public, they will use the op
portunity. But the convention of
grumblers at Louisville will amount
to nothing. Within three weeks from
its adjournment that movement will
have collafsed. No Democrat of any
political standing will be willing to
make himself the butt and laughing
stock of the party by allowiug him
self to be made a candidate with as
little prospect of an election as George
F. Train or Daniel Pratt, Jr., “the
great American Traveler.” If the
honest anti-Greeley Democrats are
dealt with gently and kindly, their
own rectifying good sense and sound
feeling will unite them with the other
opponents of Grant before the can
vass closes. We shall fight the clos
ing battle of this campaign with the
united Democratic army, reinforced
oy large Liberal Republican recruits
in this State, and very considerable
recruits in many other States. We
have on our side, what we could not
