Announcements.
WE are authorized to announce John W.
Renfroe an a candidate for re-election
as State Treasurer.
The departments are discharging
all Democrats anil all known Hancock
Republicans.
Washington is to have a new pa
per, to be called the National Demo
crat/which will support Hancock and
English.
The health of Memphis is reported
as being unusually good, and its citi
zens entertain no fear of yellow fever
epidemic this summer.
St. Louis’ kindergarten record for
last year shows 53 schools, 4,(XX) pu
pils, 130 paid teachers, 65 volunteer as
sistants, and $20,000 cost.
Judge Underwood is "totting his
own skillet’’ as a candidate for Attor
ney-general with every prospect of a
nomination and election.
The Camphellites in the United
States number 828,000, including
General Garfield and a number of
Senators and Representatives.
In the Furness and Cumberland
iron districts of england the price of
metal has declined one hundred per.
cent in three months. As a necessary
consequence the wages of labor have
been reduced twenty per cent. But
happily, the workmen comprehended
the situation and make no complaint.
Major-General A. L. Pearson,the
Pennsylvania member of the national
committee of “Union Veterans.” a Re
publican organization, and chairman
of the the city Republican executive
committee of Pittsburgh,has resigned
from both these places, and declares
his intention to vote and work for
Hancock.
An exchange asks: "If Ac 1 lonor
able Attorney Ely is so able and has
been so successful in the railroad tax
easCj, what was the use in the Gover-
Toombs? This is the first instance
where all the credit of success was
ever given to General Toombs’ asso
ciate counsel.” A
The New York Tribune says that
the visitor to the Central Park may
sec nowadays a sight usually reserved
for November. Along (lie shaded
paths workmen are everywhere rakiiig
up the fallen leaves with which the
ground is covered, as in autumn.
Those, and the withered look of many
of the treetops, bear pitiful testimony
of the severity of the drouth and of our
late raging dog-star.
Ex-Governor Hubbard, ot Con
necticut, in responding to an invita
tion to address a Hancock and Eng
lish ratification meeting at New Ha
ven, writes : “Our ticket is the wisest
and best. It represents no soreheads,
no sections, no factions, no fractions.
It is not at discord with itself; the
head is not boiled crow for the tail,
nor the tail boiled crow for the head,
and no machine politics in cither
end.”
■■' ■ -
A distinguished writer gives the
following as the prime cause of the
present stringent times: “These are
hard times. I'll tell you why : The
nation is spending more for intoxica
ting drinks than all the bread it eats,
all the clothes it wears, all the books
it reads, or all the churches it has ever
built. If every one of the drinking sa
loons were shut up and every bottle
smashed forever, we should have good
and happy times in thirty days.”
The workingmen of California,have
done two wise things—they have de
posed Kearney and endorsed Han
cock. This will place the Golden
State in the Democratic line. There
are only 68.000 Republicans in Cali
fornia while there arc 48,000 Democrat
and 44,000 workingmen. Giving the
Democrats and workingmen combin
ed a majority in the State of 24,000.
Hayes carried the State in 1876 by
28,000 majority. The Democrats can
afford to lose the Pacific States, but
they do not want to do it.
The Republicans are now strongly
upon the defensive which means de
feat: Gov. Long of Massachusetts
in a late speech, in order to save his
own candidate from attack, de
nounced attacks upon the fair fame
of Hancock. He said :
“Palsied be the hand that from any
J-earded quiver would seek some
*‘ken and crumbling arrow with
' i *‘h to try to wound him; as palsied
•dso 1., fLjj hand that would tear one
leaf froA t) lc laurels of that gallant
soldier is his competitor.”
The Atlanta Post offers the follow
ingsuggestions : “Ist. We think that
the Democratic State Convention
should adhere inflexibly to the two
thirds rule, which has so often united
the party or saved it from defeat. Let
the prevailing sentiment be that the
delegates must act in (he interest of
the State and the party, not in the in
terest of any particular candidates. It
would be folly to wreck the ship for
the personal gratification of any Jonah
who may be on board. Let the aim
of the people ami their delegates be
to present a State ticket which will
compose rather than aggravate these
differences and which will preserve
untarnished the principles upon which
alone the party can reasonably hope
to maintain its ascendancy. To do
this, the two-thirds rule Will be found
an essential if not an indispensable
means.
2d. Itought to be known in advance
of any nomination (hat. the several
candidates intend to abide by and
support it. Party discipline amounts
to nothing if it does not require this.
It would be a mockery to permit a
candidate to take his chance for a
nomination by a Democratic Conven
tion, if he harbored the design of
seeking other alliances and opposing
the nominee if any other than him
self. To whatever extent a nomina
tion may bind a voter of the party, it
ought certainly to be an established
rule that a candidate who seeks the
nm 'cation of the party will himself
bo bound by the rction of the body
from which he seeks it.
The insanity dodge is often resorted
to as the last experiment to extricate
desperate criminals, and it seems the
Republicans propose profiting by this
example. Garfield’s perjury and cor
ruptions are so flagrant that the pro
pose extricating him at the expense of
his intelligence. They have not yet
called in experts to prove their candi
date for President insane, but they arc
trying to demonstrate that he is not a
knave, but a poor credulous, innocent
fool, so pure and confiding that he was
circumvented by the artful villains
Oakes Ames and DeGoJyer. Never be
fore in the politics of America did a
party attempt to proveits candidate a
fool with the view of palliating his
crimes. The people of the United
States will not be gulled by such stuff.
They will never elect to the Presidency
a man who, if his friends are to be be
lieved, is a simple-hearted ninny, like
ly to !• imposed on by designing viU
Hans. They do not want in a high
and responsible position a map who is
and liable to be seduced into crime by
the wiles of the DcGolycrs and thfl
ever ready to secure office
and fat jobs by bribing the President
or employing him as an attorney, for
if a member of Congress can sell his
influence a President should have the
same right.
The Augusta Chronicle and Consti
tutionalist prints a very readable edi
torial under the heaving of “The Mod
ern Hammocks,” which is good read
ing this hot weather. If all the news
papers would print just such articles
they would do good, for according to
the intimation contained in the above
mentioned article, if in love, such
youth and his sweetheart would try
the hammock together this hot weath
er they could twist into quick and in
numerable positions; and should the
rope happen to break or the staple
pull out, they would quickly be made
one, for all practical purposes, and
both would at once ascertain the tem
per of the other, as well as whether
one or both used “cuss words” under
unusual circumstances. Young men
should buy a hammock by all means.
This is the season and now is your op
portunity to demonstrate its ability.
“Love in a hammock is a pretty thing,
As sweet unto a peasant as a King.”
Gen. Hancock has received nearly
five thousand letters and telegrams
since his nomination. The pub
lishes, to-day, a card from Gen. Han
cock, as follows:
Governor’s Island, New York
Harbor, July 6, 1880.—To whom it
may concern : lam late in respond
ing to the kind notes and telegrams.
My correspondence, personal and offi
cial, at all times being heavy, has been
immensely increased lately. lam not
able at present to respond promptly
and fully to oil of the welcome greet
ings extended tome. I hope unavoid
able delay will not be mistaken for in
difference or neglect. The truth is 1
have not heretofore realized how many
there are in the laud who feel kindly
toward me personally, and who es
pouse the cause in which I have boon
so conspicuously honorci]. In delay
ing my acknowledgments I beg the
forbearance of my friends, and of my
most intimate friends I vent (ire to ask
the most in this regard. Thanking
you most heartily few your congratu
lations and for your kind letters, I am
truly your friend,
Winfield S. Hancock.
A telegram from Washington says
that it is understood among the per
sonal friends of General Hancock that
he will, prior to the publication of his
letter of acceptance, tender his resig
nation to the President as a Major-
General in the United States army.

State Treatnrcr,
Editors Tribune :—We sec in the At
lanta Constitution of the 9th i nst.. that
the article which appeared in the
Church and School was placed there
by mistake. If our friend of the
Courier had known this he would
doubtless have withheld his lecture
on the duties religious journals. Again
there are some other statements in the
editorial of the Courier in reference to
Hon, John W.ftenfroo tendered his
resignation is incorrect. Col. Renfroe
had the power to tender his resigna
tion to the Govmmor.z the y nowcr
he dciThied to do, but placed his resig
nation in the hands of the Legislature,
' and put the onus of tendering to the
Governor on tli*n. It would seem
they did not thiinc it to the best inter
est ot the State, for him to resign and
returned the resignation to Co’. Ren
froe. As to the vote, seventeen was
the lowest on one specification, whilst
he received twenty-seven on one and
thirty-five on another. There were
very few, if any, of the members of
of the Senate who thought Colonel
Renfroe was guilty of any
intentional wrong but believed there
was a technical violation of the law.
If a scrutinizing test should be put to
the official acts of the highest and
humblest officers of our State, we
should find very few of them able to
escape a technical violation of the
law. If there was no intentional
wrong on the part of our worthy’ and
efficient Treasurer, and as evidence of
the fact, there was not, twelve months
before the investigating committee
was appointed, he stopped receiving
any interest on deposits although he
had the precedent of years to sustain
him. Not only this, he offered to re
turn the interest received, to the State,
or hold it subject to their order or do
anything that, was reasonable and
fair. Col. Renfro having failed in
this regard, could do nothing but de
fend his fair name and character, and
who can now blame him for appealing
to the people for vindication. Some
say, but then the fact that, he went
through an impeachment trial ren
ders him unpopular, and some Demo
crats wont vote for him. Did not
the House of Representatives of the
United States prefer aetieles of im
peachment against Andrew Johnson,
President, and came in one vote of im
peaching him in the Senate.
And did not the State of Tennessee
return him afterwards’ to the United
States Senate? Who believes that
Andrew Johnson had committed any
intentional violation of the law? If
the preferment of charges against a
party disqualified him from holding
office, how easy it would bo to pul a
man on the shelf no matter how true
and honorable he may b.e. It frequent
ly happens that good and true men
are put to the severest trials.
Col. Renfroe has made one of the
best treasurers the State has ever had,
and will, if elected, continue to serve
the State with fidelity and save the
State, as he has done in the
past thousands of dollars. The
-ecuritias on Col. Renfroe’s bond
have never wavered, and in the Mid
dle and Lower part of the State,
where Col. Renfroe is best known, his
old friends believe him incapable of
doing a wrong act and are standing
by him and are determined to see that
justice is done him. He is a life long
Democrat and was one of the leading
men who broke down the Radical
party in South Georgia. lie was a
gallant Confederate soldier, and now
bears upon his body a severe wound
received from the enemy while de
fending bur Southern cause. We
should be careful, as Democrats, how
we thrust such men aside.
