Constantly FAMILY AND FANCY GROCERIES j left our homes upon this mission of 1 love and charity, that an attempt has I been made to insult us or our labors. I This is characteristic of the treat ment extended to other agents for Southern Relief Associations by the people of Chicago at the dose of the war, and wo would be more than hu man if we could entirely forget them. The “ Republican Company” was one of the severest sufferers by the late fire, and while we have no idea that a tear has been shed in all the South over their misfortunes we trust that no body South has taunted them by re ciprocating their insulting gifts to. the Southern Orphans.

A Convention of the Democratic ywtv will assemble in Atlanta on Wed- a**lay, the sixth day of December nrxt, at ten o’clock A, M., to nomi- iiiate a candidate for Goventor. By direction of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee. CLIFFORD ANDERSON, Chairman. The Democratic Couventlea Xercatenti The suggestion for a National Dem ocratic Convention, on the 22d Febru ary, made by Mr. Vorhees, as reported in another column, appears to us a very t i mely and sensible movement There is a manifest tendency to disintegration, j:rowing out of the divers views of lead ing members of the party, as well as -from the results of the recent elections. The causes for this lack of harmony and of confidence are believed to result more from a want of thorough under standing between the representatives of Nbe different sections, than from any nea' falling off in Democratic strength. At any .rate, * convention would dis close theexteut of the sectional diverg ence, and the weight of the reasons m^ged for a modification of the issues with Itadtealism. Timid -and ambitious men grow despondent and restive under defent. Good men and true prefer to battle on for tho right, let the eagles of victoir perch where they may. It seems too evident to admit-of doubt, that there is more necessity than, over for a square “ stand up” fight .with the centralizing usurpations of the Re publicans. We cannot make -such a fight under a passive cam|iaign ; nor by supportings “ conservative”'Repub lican. i The results of the last few years -of Radical rule have demonstrated the correctness of old Democratic princi ples. The oppressions of the tariff, the waste of the public domain in corrupt and extravagant land grants, the plun dering revenue system, the attempt to throttle the vigor of stateship, by Con gressional interference for the most petty political pretexts—these and ma ny other issnes stand out in naked bold ness and deformity, to warn the people against perpetuating Radical misrule, aud to convince them that the princi ples of thehiii Democratic party are Jive principles still. We would like to see a calm national council on these questions. We dc not believe it would result in an abandon ment of the Democratic organization; but whatever the result, it would prob ably quell internal dissensions, and se- cura a united canvass against Grant and his retainers next year. Sympathy for Ublcngo. It has pleased some of the menda cious Radical writers at the North to attempt to make political capital out of the alleged paucity of contributions in aid of Chicago from the South. They ignore entirely the fact that material contributions have been made from the South, notwithstanding the general impoverishment of opr people, and the numerous insults w*i\w(l at Chicago by agjepte for .-Southern relief #a»ocia- jjjvt the close of the war.

Report of the Committee of Cicizens. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 25,1871. 7b the House of Representatives now in session: In compliance with a correspondence which weherewith enclose, marked ex hibit A, we took formal possession of the books and paperaof the Western and Atlantic Railroad on the 28th day of August, 1871, and have been en- since that time in bringing up said books for the purposes of showing foe balances. In view of foe short time we have been engaged, and the vast amount of labor necessary to be bestowed, we have to regret that we are able only to make a report to the dose of the fiscal year ending September 30, 1870, as you will find from statement annexed, made up by the General Book-keeper in charge, which we respectfully sub mit with his report, marked Exhibit B, in accordance with a resolution of your honorable bodv passed November 24,1871. In addition to the work done on the books we have carefully recorded all the vouchers taken during Mr. Blod gett’s administration of the road, be ginning January 1st, and ending De cember 27th, 1870, (the day the les sees took charge.) Except vouchers No. 6, dated Feb ruary 15th, 1870, from Josephine Buck, for $4,000 00. Voucher No. 20, dated March 27, 1870, from James Sprout®, for 81,- 500 00. Voucher No. 71, dated March, 1870, from William White Jr Co., for $3,- 000 00 Voucher No. 60, dated July 30, 1870, from Jared I. Whitaker, for 66,587 50. These four vouclicrs were never turned over to our committee, aud, ns yet, we have been unable to trace them. We have thought proper to copy the* vouchers, which has taken no small amount of labor, iii order to fa cilitate such investigations as might Ik- determined by the LegL-luture, into tiic late management of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and for the further purpose >of more effectually securing the reeords of said administration. The vouchers are copied into blauk books and properly indexed so that they become ready and valuable refer ences, in the hands of an investigating committee. Referring to foe books and papers of the Western and Atlantic Railroad it were perhaps pvaper to say that they show a liberality in general expendi tures, by the admitristration in ques tion, of gigantic proportions, the heav iest of which took place from October 1st to December 25th, 1870. As partial evidence of this peculiar liberality in disbursing the people’s money by Mr. Blodgett’s administra tion, we give the following comparative statement of receipts and disbursements under the mauagament of the road bv Major Campbell Wallace, Colonel E. Hulbert and Captain Foster Blodgett. ■TATMUHW.

C. L. Redwine, C. C. Ham mock, E. E. Ratcson, Committee in charge of the books and papers of the West'em and Atlantic Railroad: Gentlemen—I have tfie pleasure to hand you herewith statements of the Earnings and Expenses, also a Finan cial Statement of the Western and At lantic Railroad at the dose of the Fis cal Year, endmg September 30th 1871. Having been appointed General Book-keeper in charge, September 1st, 1871, with’ competent assistants, the duties involved in making up these re ports have been enormous. Upon an examination of the books, I found they lmd not been balanced since January 31st, 1870, (which is the date of the last balance made by myself.) Sever al attempts had been made, showing forced balances, which necesitated a thorough investigation by checking over the books of the road from Feb ruary 1st, 1870, to' September 30, 1870. In doing this, numerous errors were foaud, which will affect some of the accounts. I find that no settlements have been made daring a period of eight months after the road was leased, with the At lanta, Kingston, Dalton and Chatta nooga agencies. The different agents, since by appointment, requested a set tlement, but I have informed them, that owing to the condition of the books of the road, nothing could be done with their accounts until the books were thoroughly examined up to the time of thb lease, at which?time their accounts would be in a condition for adjustment. The labor of adjusting and complet ing the business of the road from Sep tember 30th, 1870, up to, and beyond the lease of the road, will be very ar duous. The accounts with agents and connecting roads will require a thor ough investigation, and will consume several months to perfect settlements, etc. Thanking the gentlemen who have assisted me in these labors, and your committee, I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, B.

Tekke Hcte, Ind., November 27. —Hon. Daniel W. Yoorhees, in a card published iu the Journal,' of this city, proposes an important Demo cratic party movement. He says:— “ I keenly appreciate the importance of an authoritative expression of prin ciples, which are to guide us in the fu ture us in th > post. It should lie made at an early date, in order that organ ization shall be perfected and confi dence restored by the time the appro aching campaign is open. This, how ever, should be the work of a National Convention, embracing delegates from all the States. I a in iu favor of call- in"- such a convention at some central point in the Wes/-, on a day not later than the 22d of February next. The call should be issued 1'V the National Executive Committee, and delegates should be appointed by State and Dis trict conventions. The business of this body should he to carefully aud pa tiently weigh ail views laid before it; to agree upon and publish a definite declaration of principles upon all nta/<; ters affecting the political character and safety of our free institutions.— This being done it should adjourn to a day Sided for nominating A candidate for the Presidency, In the. meantime the people of the States can discuss, approve or disapprove of what has done been. It would be the duty of all Democrats taking part in politics to submit to the voice of the majority. If there are such as prefer their own conviction, even to the platform of the National Convention, they can step aside in quiet, without emborrasing any body else. Let us, however, have political as well as personal harmony, and success is within our reach. If foe entire Democratic vote can be consol hfolted and brought to the poll?. Gen eral (Grant cannot be releccted. .It was voters in our party that stayed at home on foe date of the late electino which wrought such wide-spread de feat. •There is no increase of the Re publican -vote. I make the above sug gestions, .knowing that it is entirely practicable and that it meets an ur gent demand of the present crisis. I shall respectfully urge fois upon the National Executive Committee and ask for it the favorable consideration of conservative men everywhere." New Advertisements, Administrator’s Sale. 500.000!

Dr. Gibbes made the pod mortem examination, and the jury returned a verdict that the de ceased .tame to his death from" aqunn- tjty of cellular bodies all through his muscles, and in the muscular tissue of the heart and on its surface. These cellular bodies are cysts, containing a species of worm, which was caused by tne deceased eating diseased meat.” In the above case, jwfmorfm exami nation revealed the met that the man was literally filled with trichina, the most of them as large as a pea.

ART DEPARTMENT. The enthustoiie support so readily accortled to tiioir.enierprise, wherever it has been introduced, has convinced tjie publishers of The Aldine of the soundness of tkeif theory that the American pub lic would rccogulze and' heartily support sny siu- etre cUbrt to elevate the toh* antistandard of illus trated publications. That so uaay weakly wicked sheets exist and thrive is not evidence that there 1* no nurket for anything bettar-~iodced the sue- (.ess of The Aldine from the startjxdjrect proof of the contrary. With a population so vast, and of such varied taste, a publisher can choose his pa trons, and his paper is rather indicative of his own than - f tit* taste of the country. Asa.guarantee of the excellence of this department, .the publish ers would beg to announce tipring the coming year, specimens from the following eminent American artists: ' W. T.

Where so much is raid to illustration and get up of fhe work, too much dependence) on appraranm mey very naturally be feared. Ik anticipate such misgivings, It Is only ncrex*arr to state that the editorial mamutemeut of The Aldine ha* been in trusted to Mr. niCUARD HENRY STODDARD, who bps received assurances of assistance from a hp*t of th* moat popular writers and poets of th* country, THE VOLUME FOR 1872 will contain nearly 900 pages, and about 250 fine engravings.
