Now. we in- vi e criticism, and are willing to let an intelligent public judge who is the good Democrat. IT IS TIME TO STOP. It is with regret that we see several of our State journals, which were op posed to Mr. Stcpheus before the nomi nation, still usiug all their influence to keep up the strife. This course is fool ish in the extreme, and if continued in will create discensions which may re sult in irreparable injury to the Demo cratic party. One among the great cardinal principles of Democracy as laid down by Thomas Jefferson is the absolute acquiescence in and submission to the decisions of the majority. The infringement of this great principle II OX. GEO. T. HA JtXES FOR SEX A TOR. Before the meeting of the Democrtij convention, The Citizen was a warm advocate of the above named gentleman for the olliee ot Congressman-at-large. But the convention dee ded against us, and nominated Col. Thomas Hardeman for that position. We yielded obedi ence to the mandates of the convention, a- did our principal—he is too good a Democrat to in any way antagonize the party—nor is it our object now to com- pl in nf or censure the action of the convention, but to urge the claim- of Hon. George T. Barnes for the rffice of United States Senator, which Fate has decreed limit be made vacant, and we know of no more worthy a successor to Hon. B. H. Hill, the great s'atesman and orator, or one who would shed more luster upon the great olu commonwealth of Georgia than H«m. George T. Barnes. Not only would he make a brilliant suc cessor to the grea‘, dying .statesman, [Lp" 'The Radical convention has >), cn in session in Atlanta the present wi ek, and our Atlanta exchanges bring ns glowing accounts of the fun they are hav.rig That old renegade, Gen.

Now these gentlemen, as a body, are anything but august. There is some talent, some brilliancy, some virtue among them, but the majority are commonplace, frivolous, and very undignified. Their morals are not of the purest type. Of .ourse. when we remember that they arc surrounded by such an atmos phere, it is hardly to be expected. The wine j rooms of the Theatre - omlque, the worst of I ‘‘variety shows," and the companionship and company of habitues of the demi-monde, cannot exert any very moral influence. Neither can it. be affirmed that nightly dissipation, including wlne-bibbing, fast-women, and loose-talk, can have a beneficial influence upon a rations legis lation. But withal this variety and mixture of social life, Washington is a beautiful pi ice, a pleasant place, and an entertaining place, it is true that the women are fast, the men lax, its society du bious—and all that, but there is much to be Been here, much to be .earned, much to be avoided and much to be condemned. On the whole, iny stay lias been agreeable, entertaining and profitable. I shall regret very much when the time comes to take my departure, fur I have treasured up many pleasant memories of my visit. The photographs that have been graven upon my mind, will ever endure as sweet-per fumed souvenirs, recalling many happy associa tions, many delightful companionships, and many grateful impressions. 1 will ever treasure the recollections of the persons I have met dur ing ray sojourn here, and when in moments . f reflection my mind recurs to these ever-to-be-re membered days, the faces of Benj. Cox, the ris ing young artist from Burse, of Baldwin—Mr. Stephens’ secretary, of Kichardson—the Constitu tion's correspondent, of Morgan—the city editor of the Evening Critic■ and numerous others, will rise up to form a back-ground to as pleasant an experience as was ever enjoyed by a stranger from home. And now I bid you adieu, promising to let you hear from me aguin, though not from Washing ton. I leave hore soon for other points of inte rest. Whence I shall turn my face towards the Sunny South again. Until then, bon soir and pleasant dreams. J. S. K. • J o h a D.

PKOF. HAUKIS' RADIC AL CURE. 10 “We give our readers in this issue, Mr. Stephens’ letter of acceptance.— No fault can be found with the princi pies he announces, for they are emi - nent.ly correct. At the same time we think th t •,he masses ot the Democra cy would have been pleased at this.junc- ture <o have had some plain talk both in the platform and letter of acceptance rn regard to the present posture of poli tics in the State. Generalities suit most any party.” We c py the above editorial para graph from the last, is ue of the Waynes boro Herald, and must say that we were b th surprised and unprepared for such sen iments as are so insidiously in jected into the above quoted paragraph to be promulgated from such a source. For, if that purapraph means any thing, it means that the Herald is inimical to the nominee of the party : which coup led with the fact that our city contem porary has never shown his colors or ut tered one word of endorsement, of the Democratic nominee, forces the conclu sion that the Herald will give him a tardy and cool support. How strange such a heresy from one whose deep- tor ed bcllowings so lately rulled out upon the atmosphere in professions of party foulty and demands for implicit obedience to party behests. Not long since the Herald threw up • its hands in holy horror bcoause The Citizen declared itself independent of “ring and clique”—never of the lh mo- eratic principle or the will of the people. V'nd yet, how much need there is of a journal which will fearlessly expose tlie.se tricks, let the unaccountable ac tion of the delegates to the late guber natorial couv<.ntion serve a- an example. All that 1 he Citizen asks is that the masses have a fair opportunity to ex pres , their wishes, and when they have done so we are content.
