At Woodstock, Connecdcntt, where the
Rads had a big anti-Hayes demonstra-
. tion cn “the Fourth, 11 the Convention
having been addressed by South Caro
lina’s ex-carpetbag Governor, Oliver
Wendell Holmes was called upon, and
in reply began as follows:
“I como here to-day, fellow-citizens, as
the son of a citizen of Woodstock, to visit
the place where my father was born, and
where my father’s fathers lie.”
And the great punster poet might have
added with equal truthfulness, “and where
also you have just heard Chamberlain

Oakley S. Barker, aged 22, a grand-
son of the late Commodore Vanderbilt,
was arrested in New York last Saturday
chain ami locket from n young woman
whom he knew. Yesterday and to-day he
spent in the court and in the tombs. He
came into the possession of an annual in-
cmc of 81,000 on the first day of this
month. The detective who arrested Bar
ker says he has previously stolen clothing
from his boarding house and a gold chain
from Mr. May, whom he was visiting on
decoration day. Barker’s mother was
left by her father, the Commodore, the in
terest on 8500,000.
Gen. Grant having been called upon
to make two speeches the same day in
London said that he was brought up a
soldier and not for talking, and had
never before had to fight two battles in
the same place in one day. He con
tinned: “To be called upon to make
two speeches in the same day is beyond
ray comprehension.”
Now, “comprehe nsion” is good—very
good. But Minister Pierrepont made
it pleasant for him by explaining that
‘ Gen. Grant had never to fight two
battles on the same day, for the reason
that after the first there was nothing
left of the enemy.”
True; there was nothing left of the
enemy, since the enemy was left out of
sight.

BIOGRAPHIES OF IJFI.EGATES.
A. K. Wright, Forty-Second District
This distinguished Georgian was bom
at Columbia City, Georgia, on the 16th
of June, 1813. His father, after accu
mulating a moderate fortune merchan
dising, began to farm, and followed
that occupation for the last twenty-fivs
years of his life. His mother was
Mary McCall, and came from an old
family in lower Georgia and Florida.
The subject of this sketch was educa
ted at Franklin College. He also at
tended, after graduating at this school,
the Litchfield and Augusta law schools,
where he laid the foundation of his le
gal education.
He first married Miss Elizabeth
Richardson, of Augusta, Georgia. His
second wife was Miss Adaline E. All-
man, of Chattooga county.
Judge Wright has filled various im
portant public offices. He was Judge
of the Superior Court of the Cherokee
Circuit for seven years.
Congress, m khVcJi'body he was dis-
tinguisned by his untiring activity.
He was an elector for the State at large
with Alexander Stephens, on the Doug
lass Presidential ticket, in 1860. Sub
sequently he was sent to the Confeder
ate Congress.
He was as active in the field as in the
Cabinet in the great struggle. He was
Colonel of Wright’s Legion, whloh was
stationed at Savannah seven months.
He resigned his command in the army
on account of a resolution passed in
cret session of Congress, requiring
persons holding seats in that body and
also filling military offices to resign one
or the other.
His arte helium politics were of the
Henry Clay stamp, thoronghly whig-
gish. After the war he became a Dem
ocrat and lias been active with the par
ty.
His views on public questions are ex
pressed with great clearness. He i9 bit
terly opposed to the system of making
a monoply of hanking in the bonds
the bond-holders, and denounces it
an oppression to all poor men. Judge
Wright is a lawyer of marked ability
and will be found among the leading
legal minds of the Convention.

A little colored girl, 9 years of age,
daughter of Samuel Phelps, was pass
ing over the railroad bridge which
spans Fishing Creek near MilledgeviUe,
with a large parasol or small umbrella
stretched over her head when the wind
blast of Saturday struck her, and in a
moment she was swept off the linage
and was falling to the earth sixty feet
below. A lady who saw the whole af
fair from a short distance off, says she
went down hanging to the umbrella
which was stretched over her head, in
the fashion of a parachute, the handle
of which broke however just before she
reached the ground. A sprained ankle
was the only injury.
THE GREAT DUTY OF THE CONVEN
TION.
There are many changes that ought
to be made in the Constitution, but the
grand central idea, and the one to
which nearly all the others are inci
dental and such as will naturally fol
low this fundamental change, is a deci
ded reduction of the Legislature.*’It is
like the great religious duty of man.
“Seek first the kingdom of Heaven and
its righteousness, and all other things
will be added.” Such wise and pru
dent Legislatures as will be elected un
der the change we suggest, will soon
remedy most of the evils now justly
' complained of.
We would suggest that the Legisla
ture be reduced to 100 members—twen
ty-five Senators and seventy-five Rep
resentatives. The Senate should be
elected as follows: Divide the State
into twenty-five equal territorial dis
tricts or as near equal as compact form
and county lineB would admit of, and
Senatorial District should be entitled
to one Senator. Thus the Senate would
represent territory or the counties.
For thV purpose of electing the lower
House, the State should be divided into
seventy-five representative districts.cqual
according to population, as near as prac
tical, without dividing counties. Thus
constituted the House would represent
the people of the State, and the Legisla
tive branches, thus elected, would equita
bly represent and naturally protect all
sections and interests—the sparcely set
tled and the populous portions of the
State.
We repeat Ibis is the great thing for the
Convention to do, and if they fail to ac
complish this, we can have no assurance
of wise and safe legislation in the future,
no matter how good tho Constitution, in
other respects, may be.
For the past few years our Legislature
has been more like a mob of silly-pated
demagogues, whose highest ambition was
popularity, than like sober statesmen ear
nestly working for the substantial inter
ests of the commonwealth. ;■
In connection with the above the qual

Nathan Bass, Forty-Second District.
From the Atlanta Constitution.]
Nathan Bass bom in Hancock county,
Georgia, October 1, 1808. Was married
February 3,1837, to Mrs. Caroline Hurt,
daughter of Josiah Flournoy. His par
ents, John II. and Rebecca Bass, were
Virginians, and moved to Hancock
county, Georgia, in 1805, where they re
sided until 1811, then removed to Put
nam county, Ga., where they resided un
til their death—Mrs. Bass dying in 1835
and John H. Bass 1850. They were con
sistent Christians, and members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. John H.
Bass was an intelligent and practical
farmer. In politics a Democrat of the
Jeffersonian school.
Nathan Bass was educated at Mount
Pleasant Academy, in Putnam county.
He was a delegate to the National Dem
ocratic Convention, which met in Balti
more, in June, 1S52, which nominate,!
Franklin Pierce for President, and Wm
R. King for Vice President Was also
member of the Confederate Congress from
the Macon District during the year 186
Col. Bass was a soldier in the Seminole
war in Florida in 1836, in a volunteer
battalion, commanded by Major Mark A,
Cooper, under Gen. Winfield Scott In
1862 he tendered his services to the Sec
retary of War of the Confederate States,
proposing to raise and command a regi
ment of cavalry, but failed in this, be
cause of the inability of the government
to arm and equip them; subsequently he
had command of a company at Macon,
Ga., composed of men who, like himself,
were exempt from service ty reason of
age. At the date of Gen. Lee’s surren
der he was senior captain commanding
five companies near Macon, Ga.
He was a farmer by occupation, and
quite successful up to the close of the
war. Politically, he was always a Dem'
ocrat; was in the convention that organ
ized the Democratic party “without vari
ableness or shadow of turning.” Was op
posed to secession at the time—but held
that the States had the right to secede.
He lived in Putnam from 3 years of age
until 1850—removing to his farm in
Floyd county, Georgia. In 1851 he re
moved from Floyd county to Macon
for the purpose of educating his chil
dren, and resided there until 1870, re
moving thence to Rome, Ga., where he
resided until 1875, thence to a small
farm of a few acres on the banks of the
Etowah, where he now resides.
At the commencement of the wqrhe
was the owner of four large and valuable
plantations—two- in Southwest Georgia,
one in Floyd county, Ga., and one in
Chicot county, Arkansas, on the Missis
sippi river—these of the aggregate value
of S200,000. He was also owner of three
hundred valuable slaves, with other prop
erty, amounting to an aggregate value of
more than half a million. The results of
the war, and other misfortunes, involved
him in the loss of half a million dollars,
leaving him only a few acres of land for
cultivation in the evening-of a quiet and
well-spent life. ! Ahd althou

perfected a telegraphic cipher for the
transmission of convention ana Iegis-
lative reports by wire, whereby the cost
of such service to newspapers can be re
duced to a very considerable extent,
say from two-thirds to one-half the or

in correct form instead of in skeleton,
at less cost and with.tho same labor.
This cipher can be used for reporting
the proceedings of any character of con

A Rare Display of Cheek.
The following is an extract from the
speech which Chamberlain had the re
markable “cheek” to deliver at tho
Fourth of July gathering at Woodstock,
Conn. After a long history of the Lou
isiana and South Carolina cases and
general denunciation of the President’s
policy, he attacks his Civil Service po
licy and proceeds as follows;
“Look next at the relations of this ad
ministration to the present financial is
sues. President Hayes has heretofore
entitled himself to the confidenc of hon
est men by his course on this question.
Nothing, sir, but the necessity of giving
support for his Southern policy, could
have induced hit i to contemplate an al
liance with the si! ver conspiracy—a con
spiracy which re. ards silver with favor,
only because it h.-s lost all virtue as a
standard of value, and, as a currency is
cheaper than greenbacks. It is the in
herent and unavoidable weakness of
his present position—the effect of his
wretched Southern policy—that he must
conciliate an outraged party, so far as
possible by yieldiugnow to the demand
for the spoils, and now to the demand
for cheap money.
Again, the Republican party, by all
its recent platforms,is pledged to oppose
the grant of subsidies to private corpor
ations. Yet no man who to-day,knows
anything of the current and influences
which arc gathering at Washington is
ignorant of the fact that a vast scheme
is steadily maturing unopposed, if not
favored, by this administration, which
aims to take from our public domain
and from our public treasury Pacific
railway—a railway for which there is
present public need and from which
private capitalists would shrink with
contempt.
In the train of this gigantic effort at
public robbery will come the revial of
the defunct Northern Paci fic—the build
ing of levees on the Mississippi and
kindred schemes sufficient to again
corrupt the morals and blast the pros
perity of the whole country; and all
this is the price which must be paid
for the privilege of overthrowing two
lawful State governments, and trampl-
ing upon the principle upon which our
governments and institutions rest—the
rule of the majority.
Sir, there are moral laws of cause
and effect as true and certain as any
physical laws. No political leader, no
political party, can forfeit honor or de
sert principles at one point and main
tain them at others. Integrity is indi
visible. Yon cannot be dishonest on
one subject and honest on others. The
President’s Southern policy, conceived
in his own mind, is a shock and offense
to his party—reckless of justice and
constitutional duty. If unopposed, it
will more and more weaken the moral
bonds which have hitherto in spite of
all its failings, secured to the Republi
can'party the confidence of the majori
ty of the most intelligent and patriotic
Amhricans for more than twenty years.
A Blue law Bevival.
United States Solicitor General Phil-
lips has maden grcaf and inponant dis-
covery, S3 the following will show: A.
Sunday paper of Washington put in the
lowest bid for printingthe tax list. Mr.
Phillips decided that no Sunday paper
could do the printing and he based his
opinion on an old Maryland law of
1723, which he claims is still in
force and which prohibits bodily
labor of all kinds in the District of Col
umbia on Sunday. He therefore held
it to be illegal, under this law fora tax
list to be printed in the paper aforesaid
and so gave the contract to the next
lowest bidders. The law thus resurrec
ted is entitled “An act to punish blas
phemers, swearers drunkards and Sab
bath breakers, and for repealing the
laws heretofore made for the punish
ment of such offenders.” It provides:
First. That “if any persons in this pro
vince” shall be guilty of any species of
blasphemy againstthe Holy Trinity or
any person thereof, he shall, for the first
offence, “be bored through the tongne,
and fined twenty pounds sterling to the
Lord Proprietor;” for the second offence,
he shall be “branded on the forehead
with the letter ‘B’ and fined foTty
pounds,” and for the third offence, he
shall “suffer death without benefit of
clergy.”
Second. It provides that if any per
son shall, “hereafter,” profanely swear
or curse in the presence of certain
parties, he shall be fined two shillings
and six pence for the first and five shil
lings for every subsequent oath. Anr 1
day by „
tingorunlawful pastimes or recreations,
and that every one so offending shall
forfeit two hundred pounds of tobacco.
This is, in brief, the substance of this
old law, and it is by this last cliuso
that our brilliant United States Solici
tor General was governed when he re
fused to publish that tax list in that
Sunday paper. It is announced that
the discovery of this law creates a sen
sation. No wonder.
What a very interesting sight it will
be to see so many hundreds of people
in Washington going about with holes
in their tongues and great “B’s,”as
large as Hayes’ stamp of fraud, brand
ed upon tbeir foreheads. Why the let-
ter 15 was regarded as such a special
mark of disgrace is not explained. It
is presumable’, however, that Belbnaps,
Babcocks, Boss Sheperds, Blaines,
Butlers and Beechers lived ancVflour-
ished in those olden days, and, then,
as now, aidee! Blasphemers in heaping

An Unroraantie Enoch Arden.
An Enoch Arden in all but Enoch's ro
mantic magnanimity has intruded him
self lately, after a fifteen years’ separa
tion, into the home of his remarried wife
at Elko, Nevada, ur.d obstinately claims
her as his own. She was the daughter of
a wealthy Ohioan, and lie a thriving
young man when they married years ago.
Tho husband left his young wife to better
his fortune in California. Long months
passed by with no tidings from him, and
to relieve her suspense the wife also went
to California in search of her missing
lord. After much wandering to and
fro, she learned that the party with which
her husband crossed the plains had all
been murdered by the Indians. Donning
widow’s weeds the bereaved wife settled
down in California, and a few years later
she was courted and won by Mr.
Judge Black on the InfamouB
Eight.
The following is an extract from judge
Black’s, article, “lie Electoral Conspir
acy,” published in the North American
Review.' '
. The eight Commissioners did not stop
there. They went much further. They
practically justified and sustained all the
infinite rascality of the-Returning Boards.
They not only refused to take voluntary
notice of the atrocious frauds perpetrated
by them, but they excluded the proo& of
their cof ruption which the Democratic
counsel held in their hands and offered to
exhibit These eugfUfigriMlteu ufaihli »8
the evidence, and smothered it as remorse
lessly as Wells aiid 'his associates sup
pressed Democratic returns. And this
they put on the express ground that
to them it was all one whether the action
of these Boards was fraudulent or not
They would suffer no proof of corruption
to invalidate the right claimedby aHayes
man to put in the vote of a State for his
candidate. . . - ,..
This monstrous and unendurable out
rage was resisted to the utmost All of
the seven implored and protested against
it. Judge Clifford, the President of the
Commission, laid it down as a maxim of
the common law that fraud vitiates what
ever it touches, and proved it undeniable.
He might have proved more. It is not
merely a maxim of the coihmon lnw; it
belongs to all countries and all ages; no
code can claim it exclusively; it pervaaes

looked in the face of the majority, and
told them plainly that their disregard pf

morals as it' was Unsound in law/ and.
added: “It is elementary knowledge that
fraud vitiates all proceedings, even the
most solemn; that do form of words, no
amount of ceremony, no solemnity of
proceeding, can shield it from exposure,
or protect its structure from assault and
destruction.” But the eight were as deaf
as adders to the voice of reason and jus
tice. They would not permit the fraud
to be assaulted, much less to he destroy
ed. They stood over it to shield jt, pro
tect it and save it, interposing the broad
■•cgis of their authority to cover it against
every attack.

The Murderer of Thirty-Two
Men Discovered in DeSoto
Parish to be a Quiet and Gen
tlomanly Farmer.
8hreveport Times.]
We learn from Mr. Courtney, Deputy
Sheriff of DeSoto Parish, that on last
Monday or Tuesday be arrested William
Lungley, a very desperate character, who
is wanted in Texas for many high-handed
outrages he had committed in that State.
He murdered his last victim in Lee coun
ty, where he was well known and feared
as a had man, and a remarkably good
shot with either pistol or rifle. For some
time he was confined in the county jail
of Lee, but subsequently made his escape
and fled to Louisiana, settling in DeSoto
Parish, where he has been living quietly
and peaceably for nearly two years under
an assumed name of Jackson.
The Sheriff of Lee county, learning of
Lnngley’s whereabout,wrote to the Sheriff
of DeSoto parish, giving a full descrip
tion of the man and the crime he had
last committed, and cautioned him to
use every precaution for his capture, as
be or some of the posse might possibly
lose their lives. Soon everything was
quietly and systematically arranged for
nis capture. Mr. Courtney and a small
posse went into the neighborhood of
where their man was living, and before
he was aware of what was going on they
suddenly came upon him in the field
ploughing and unarmed, taking him
completely by surprise. Lungley imme
diately realized what was up, and seeing
that he bad no possible chance of escape,
gracefully surrendered, saying, “Gentle
men, I know wbat yon want; you are
after William Lungley; I am the man.”
Mr. Courtney informed him that he had
guessed correctly, and produced the war
rant for his arrest. Lungley, after being
well secured, said he might as well make
a clean breast of it, as it would he the last
of him when he reached Texas, and con
fessed to the killing of thirty-two men,
and said he came near killing a,maa two
days before bis arrest, and wished lie bad
dpne it, as it would have saved him from
captqied.’

In the long quarrel for the quarter-deck,
Now jrhen she glides #«renelj on her way.
The shallows past, whore dread explosions lay,
Tho stiff obstructives churlish game to try.
Let sleeping dogs and still totpeJocs lie.
And so I give you all—Tne Snir or Etat*!
Freedom's last venture is her priceless freight—
God speed her! keep her! bless h»r! uhilo she

Lend her through danger's path with even keel
And guide the honest hand that hold* her wheel
Fliprer’s Reception.
Flipper, of Georgia, had a 6tunning
reception by 200 colored aristocracy of
New York. One Mr. Crosby said when
the. regiment in which he was orderly
sergeant had inarched to Port Hudson,
Gen. Augt r met it, and said to ; Col. Nel
son: . . V''
“Colonel, what do you call these??’
“I call them soldiers,” answered <3ol-
onel Nelson.
‘ <r Well, if these are soldiers, and if I’ve
got to command niggers, the Govern
ment is welcome to my commission^
Take them down to the right to Gen.
Payqc. He likes niggers:”
terward,” added Mr: Crosby, f ‘i
that terrible slaughter of the co!
troops, which you all remember I so
well.” ,
This year Lieutenant Flipper and a
nephew of Gen. Auger graduated in the
same class,'and the colored man rated
the highest. By the way, if Flipper is
a mulatto he has no race. He is as
signed to the 10th cavalry. !
Ceaso Racking the System.
With drastic cathartics and hurtful
salivants, and use' that rational and
genial rccuperant, Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters the success of which in the
eradication of disease and the building
up of feeblejcoustitutions has utterly,
confuted the preposterous medical the
orists who insisted on the rationality of
depleting the frama in order to restore
it to health. Appetite easy digestion
regular evacuations a natural: flow of
bile are as sure a result of the use of
the finest of America’s invigorants as
increased loss of power and irritation
of the system were of the Jold exhaus
ting method. The new era of .medical
treatment inaugurated by the“ Bitters
is indeed a happy one for the sick and
feeble for it has not only placed health
within their reach but saved them
from the hurtful consequences of An
absurd fallacy. .,
