In Twigga Ooonty. for interment Mr. Hughes nee e prutnioent young man, and his undmely death will be a sad blow to hit fam ily, and will be deplored by all who knew him. The Sparta Journal (Hauoock county) says On Wednesday night Uni. between the hours of eleveu and twelve o'clock, a band of armed men—disguised—about sixty m number—en tered oar town—sought the jail first, and then the rwudtnce of the ahnriff and jailor of Han cock oaunty, for the avowed purpose of taking pottoseton of the person of James Oxford, a ptiaoner in the county Jail—charged with the murder of Capt. John Taylor. They first went to the jail and demanded the key of Mr. Har bin, who was in charge of the guaTd on duty around the jail. Being told that Mr. Bogers had the key at his residence, they peremptori ly demanded that he (Mr. Oorbin) should con duct them to Mr. Rogers' residence, and forced him to obej. On arriving at Mr. Rogers* house, they surrounded it, and called for the sheriff. Mr. Rogers opened his front door and found several pistols presented towards the door, and asked the parties what they wanted, when they quiotly in- informed hint that they had come for the jail key. Mr. Rogers remonstrated, but to no effect They demanded it in un measured terms, assuring him that they would have it, regardless of consequences, admitting at the time, that they knew it was his duty to reihse it, bat insisting that he must go with them to the jail Mr. Rogers finding himself overwhelmed by numbers, told them where the key was, rather than have them search his bouse and distress his sick family. When they had got tho key, they surrounded Mr. Rogers, and in that position marched to the jail; when at the jail door, they told Mr. Rogers that they bad come to relievo him of ono of bis prisoners, (Oxford,) and that they would not molest any other prisoner, or any civil person whatever^ but assuring him that they would make such disposition of, Oxford as should forever relieve Hancock ooonty and its citizens of his presence—intimating that they were going to kill him as booh as they got out of town. They opened tho door, took Oxford out, und retired in the direction of 8nn4emviUe, or tbaahoaluuf Ogeeohee; and thos ended the first visit of the Ku-Klux to Sparta, Glad Tiding* of Great Jay. The Albany (Now York) Journal is moro than satisfied with the result in Pennsylvania. It says: We did not anticipate the glorious nows which carno over the wires last night Penn sylvania has been true to herself, over obsta cles apparently tho tn<mt insurmountable. The enemy was sanguine to the point of confi dence, but not of neglect They fought stub bornly and unscrupulously. They challenged success by their desperate earnestness. They struggled as never before. Money savod from the tax gatherers won scattered like chaff. Their candidate for Governor was nominated avowedly because be would prove an unscru pulous corruptionist His coffers, not his brains, were in demand. His money, not him self, was running. But honesty has triumphed over fraud, and the Keystone remains firm. All honor to the noble workers of Pennsylva nia. Men of New York behold your example and your reward. Fifteenth Amendment Flow. The following States have officially notified the Department of State that they have rati fied the Fifteenth Consiitatioual Amendment on the date sot opposite to to their names Missouri March 1, 1869 Kansas February 27, 1869 North Carolina March 6, 1869 West Virginia March 3, " Massachusetts March 9 and 12, 1869 Wisconsin March 9, 1869 Maine March 12, 1869 Louisiana March 25, 1869 Michigan March 8, 1869 South Carolina March 10, 1869 Pennsylvania March 26, 1869 Arkansas March 30, 1869 Connecticut May 19, 1869 Florida Juno 15, 1860 Illinois March 6, 1869 Indiana May 13 and 14, I860 New York March 17 and April 19, 1869 New Hampshire, July 7, 1869 Nevada March 1, 1869 Virginia ratified the amendmoot last week, hut has not yet notified tho State Deportment. Of the above, Missouri, owing to n defec tive telegraph dispatch sent from Washington by ore of tho members of the House, inad vertently omitted the second section of the amendment, and Kansas in her ratification changed the phraseology of the whole i m end- moot. It is not doubted that the Legislatures of those States will correet these mistakes im mediately after their meeting. That of Mis souri meets on the last Monday of December, And that of Kansas on the second Thursday of January next. The Legislature of Missouri w***l«4U-d for two years in I860, and an elec tion for another Legislature in Kansas will take plsce on the first Tuesday of November. When these twoBtstos correct the mistaken in tho ratification, twenty States will have sanc tioned it. Eight pioro arc needed. Seven of these are as follows : Ohio— Legislature elected lasl Tuesday, meets first Monday In Jannnry. Ala&am* Legislature elected iu November, 1868, for two years, largely Republican, meets second Monday in November. Iowa—largely HenuUican Legislature, moots first Monday in January. Minnesota—Largely Republican Legisla ture, meets first Tuesday in January. Nebraska - Legislature largely Republican, cledled last Tuesday. Vermont -Legislature largely Republican, elected first Thursday in September, slid meets on Thursday next, the 21st of October. Rhode Island—Legislators largely Republi can. The ficuate ratified the amendment on the 27th of Mu/ Inst, and the House postpon ed action till January, 1870; when the work will be finished, according to all our advice* These States make the number twenty seven. Texas eud Al»*«ie*i|>pi, when admitted, will give os tweftty-ninu, one more than neces- see no poseiblc obstacle lu tho way of the ratification, unices Ohio should not prove to have a Republican Legislature, or Rhode Island ahonld obstinately refuse co-operation; but we do not apprehend either contingency. The eafety of tho Amendment is so assured that we look rather for assistance from some of the Htstes heretofore most bitterly adverse to it.— PkU. Prase. / Ohio is all right; the Republicans having a majority in both houses - Kp. Ext. ' that the Preeldcat selects his Cabinet Minis- tan and seeks le admialsWr 4he Government In the interests of the people, rather than in obedience to the behests of pert politicians The pottthriens were eqestty swvpriKd'St the appointment ef Gen. Rawlins, bnt the ability, integrity and high ehuasler of that lamented officer, soon turned disappointment into ad miration. And so, loo, till it be of bis successor, •a. Belknap. In making hie •• lections to often, the President looks to the high standard of doty rather than to the combinations of were politician* /• Is he honest, is he capa ble? ** Not, 41 la he available, is he the cen tral Bead of a political junta? “ Tbeee are the questions asked, and they give earnest of a re turn to the practices of the early and better days of the Repnblta. Gen. Belknap is in many reaped* a fitting successor of Gen. Rawlins. Like Rawlins, he is s men of conscience rather than polioy.— Duty rather than expediency seems to have been hit rule of action through life. Like his predecessor, he is a lawyer by profession; he was a volunteer soldier during the war, steadi ly rising, like Rawlins, through successive grade* and ending his military career with the war. As a soldier he epjoyed the confi dence of both Grant and Sherman, and his effioienoy and integrity of personal oh a rooter, made him a favorite with the Atmy. In this appointment the President seems to have kept steadily in view hie purpose of car ry iug oat the polioy of the War Department which he himself begun—the army view of etiqnette, discipline and needs. And the new Minister has already, both iu the army and bis late |>o*ition as Collector, given ample proofs of uuusual administrative and execu tive ability, and all agree that these quali ties are highly essential to the successful die* charge of the duties imposed by his new po sition. As the appointment of General Raw lins gave the highest evidences of the Presi dent's insight into the character of men, so will it be in the case of General Belknap; and we predict that ere many months shall elapse, all wen, regardless of party, will commend the President for the good sense displayed in the appointment of General Rawlins' successor. “ What Is Democracy V** I The Macon Telegraph refuses to answer. Perhaps it don't exactly know! We are in clined to the opinion that it does not! Hence it should have honestly confessed its ignor ance! Bat instead of this frank avowal, it seeks to divert attention from the awkward dilemma by resort to a vocabulary whioh illy comports with tho dignified mien and smooth exterior of that excellent journal. Suoh lan guage is common with the lower order of “Democratic" journals. We could have reasonably expected nothing better from the Savannah News or the Augusta Chronicle. That is their element. But it is wholly for eign to the polished exterior of the Macon Telegraph. Was the editor absent 7 or do evil communications corrupt good manners? Is the Telegraph falling in with the slang- whangers? We hope not. “Gone up Salt River—The Democ- 1/80* Sick unto doath—The Ohio and Penn sylvania Democraey. Dead! Dead! Dead!

The Ffarthern Democ racy, the South anti the Bwcecsetoi The late election* »n Pennsylvania and Ohio ought to be Hufflcitut w convince the Demo cratic party that tl a reign of slavery and the constitution of Buchanan are among the things of the past—that the financial policy of Gen eral Grant’s inaugural touching the national debt will stand, and that the Fifteenth Amend ment, interdicting the United States and every State from any restrictions on suffrage on ac count of race or color, will beoome in the In terval to 4ho elections of next autumn part of the supreme law of the land. These thing* at all events, in tho elections of last year and this year, aro established or inevitable, and they call upon tbe Democracy for a parture. The decisive battle of tbe Democrats on their old Bourbon principles of State sovereign ty and negro distinctions was fought in 1868 on tbe declaration in tho Tammany national platform, that all “the recouhtruotiou acts of Congress arc unconstitutional, revolutionary, null and void," which involved the proposi tion to carry us back to “the constitution os it was" before the war, Sosthsrn State Rights and all. Upon this issue tn Grant’s election tbe reconstruction acts of Congress were en dorsed by the people, including negro suffrage in tbe States directly concerned. What would have been tbe result had Chase been nomina ted instead of Seymour, and on a platform recognizing the reconstruction nets of Con gress, or what might have been dons bad not Seymour been pinned down by the Tammany resolution of Wade Hampton and the revolu tionary letter of Gooeral Blair, it wonld be a waste of time to consider. Wo have to deal with things ss they are. After the election of General Grirut, with Its endorsement of tho Republican party, another advance was made by thA oatgoing Congress on negro snffrage in the Fifteenth Amendment, proposing to make this suffrage uu lorm throughout the United States antler the authority of Congress, and in tbe General's inaugural he cordially sup ported the proposition. What has followed ? Beginning with Vir ginia, the old Southern States Rights Demo crats and conservative Republicans have formed a new Southern party under the wiag of the administration. The new anti-lUdicol Legislature of Virginia thos elcetsd bus rati fied tho Fifteenth Amendment, and in Missis sippi and Texa* with Urn suoocss of either party, tho satno course will be pursnsd. 'They have given np the fight with Gougrens in the South, the supporters of Seymour iu that sec tion being satwfled that his defeat settled the questioa, and that it would bn worse than use less any longer to follow the Bourbons of tbe North. Hera, then, we staid. The Fifteenth Amendment is on the verge of a full ratifica tion ; the Southern democracy Uavo entared lotos new political league on things as they are, w hiie the Northern deuiomscy have beau again defeated on their old tone* and in elec tions, too. in whioh indifference so far pre vailed on the Republican side that it woa ex pected these elections wonld go by default.-- Nothing is changed North from the results of last year except the situation of the Northern wing of the lata Democratic torses, whioh now stands alone, with much feet and nothing gained.-ff. T Herald, Louisville, Saturday, Oot. 10, 1800. The tailing, moiling, seething, boiling Con* veotlon week is over. The hnstllTtf and bins taring are all ended. Bpssoh in strata hnrabnd a lioovl gate ohal down unon thnir Tne UbnrSuon hos really and truly stas die, and now the question « what gooff hot ft donef* * If I mistake not the nomenclature of not, I think the Northern and Western men oame down and borrowed it, and made It a sort of a national affair. I thought at Ant that it woe rather a singular nrooedara to go all the way to New York to bant a man to preside over the Routhem Commercial Convention.— And now I still consider it etreuge that the rmxt meeting of the Boa them Commercial Convention will be held In Cincinnati.-~ I rather like the national feature which the thing has assumed, but haven’t our Southern delegates ceded mors than they really oounted on 7 Have they not ceded a little more thou they really meant tooede? In other word* have they not been sold at About half price, and that too on •• long time 7 A ml I would like them to tdl me when it is thought the next Southern Commercial Con vention will be held south of the Ohio river. However, if future gatherings of this kind are to do no more for the general trade and comraeroo of tho country than this has done, it will matter but little where Us meetings are held. I really do not believe that, since the adjournment, half tba delegates under stand unite os dearly what they came here for as they did before they eame. At least, those with whom I have spoken are not very K sitive about the matter; in fact, it would not hard to persuade some of them to olaim that they did not oome here stall—were never in Louisville and don’t expect to be. Louisville did splendidly for the Oonven tion. Bhe opened her exchequer wide. She put on her holliday attire. Bhe had taken special pains to 'Whine" herself up. Bhe treat ed every one who oome royally. She made special parade of her musie. She scattered her beauty around as thick as violets lu spring time, and she gets her pay in — advertis ing. Nevor was a city better puffed. Never was one the eynoeure of so many “mind's eyes." Bhe will get her money back. Bhe does not weep over the price of her whisllo. Bhe knows she paid a big pcioe for it, bat she blows it in snoh a way as lo be heard from Maine to Califomi* and from Florida to Ore gon. To her It was a "whistle of worth," and she don't “oare a red” for expense* She has had what the wanted, has accomplished her aim, and now she may sit back and enjoy the praise that is fleeing at her even from a far off, and gather in the dividends upon her investment Jrom her increased trad* She bought notoriety at a high price, and will g ather cents per cent, to her intonsest satie- ictlon. That is what tbe Convention has But I am omitting the proceedings of the last day, albeit not a great deal wm done. The Convention met at nine o'clock and simply wonnd up matters iu a harry. All were im patient to be off for their home* exoept a few who still had "a few words to My." The following committee was appointed to thank President Grant for his message to the Convention : Gen. Hiram Walbridge, of New York : Ool. Blanton Duncan, of Kentucky ; Hon. R. M. Oorwine. of Ohio ; Hou. Heister Clymer, of Pennsylvania; Hon. H. W. Hilliard, of Geor gia ; Hon. 0. P. Button, of Vermont; Col. Win. Lamb, of Virginia ; Gov. P. O. Hebert, of Louisiana; Gov. R. M. Patton, of Ala bama. The following resolution upon the subject of education was also adopted : Unsolved, That, acknowledging as we do, the vast importance of the general diffusion of knowledge umong all classes of society, that a committee of seven be appointed by the chair, who shall take nnder their considera tion the subject of education, and report to the next Commercial Convention, to be held at Cincinnati in October, 1870, the result of their labor* The above resolution probably was suggest ed to the Convention by—itself. The Convention showed a decided dispotd tion to cultivate the acquaintance o! the world, ns will be seen by the following reso lution* which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That a delegation of six be ap pointed by the President of this Convention, to attend tbe Universal Exposition in St. Pe tersburg, (RussiXs) in May next, 1870, whose duty it shall bo to represent this Convention ; to carry over samples showing the quality of ootton grown in the different American ootton Stales ; to deliver to the Chambers of Com merce of the chief mercantile cities of Europe tbe proceedings of this Convention, and to represent in a memorial to thoM centers of commerce and to the people of Northern Eu rope the great inducements now offered by the ootton Btatae to immigration and capital; and that tbe President of the Convention shall designate at his convenience the gentlemen selected, and shall notify them thereof. Resolved, That tho President of this Con vention shall be added to the delegation, and shall be Chairman thereof. The Convention spent some time iu the China business. Several rMolutiona wero in troduced, all of which were discussed but none were acted upon. The body then thanked everybody else ac cording to oustom, and prepared to adjourn. In declaring the adjournment, President Fill moro said: Gxntlkkrn or tbs Contention: Before I put this motion I desire most respectfully and heartily to retarn my th&oks for the honor you have done me in making me your presid ing officer, and for yoor expression of appro bation. It has been my fortune in the coarse of a long life to have been connected with many deliberative bodies from the lower house in my own State to the Senate of the United States, and I trust you will allow me to say that I feel that this Convention in point of intellectual capaoity will compare favorabl; hope that the sentiment which baa animated this Convention, composed of men from all parts of the oountry, East aud West, North and South, may have a salutary effect iu re storing peace, re&l pence to the whole ooun try. [Applanso. ] I never expect to again be connected with a public body. I regret to part with you, but 1 leave with satisfaction that your labors have been effective and harmonious. Hoping that f reat good will result from your deliberations, retire from public labor with tho oloee of our business of to-day. In pursuance of my duty, I now adjourn this body without day. Thus ended tho great Southern Commercial Convention of 1809. The Oeorgia delegates will all leave for home to morrow morning exoept Mr. Amos Fox. He will spend a short time among the blue grass. Governor Bullock and family have gone Ndrth for a brief visit. The Governor will retnm to Atlanta about the first of November. Some of your State papers, I observo, are lamenting that the Governor should have brought a special train hore for the accommo dation of the Georgia delegates, arguing the ? rent expense to which it would run the State. am assured, however, by competent railroad men, that the train cost the State very little outside tho ordinary wear and tear of the ma chinery. The Georgia delegates made Uieir mark here. Tho Pacific Railroad report was the big thing—of more importance thau all else before tbe Convention. Ool. V. A. Gaskill’* >eeoh in favor of the majority and against the minority report was the speech of the ses sion. It oreoled moro outhuaiasin sod ap plause than any speech mod* It was the turuing point of the question, and settled tho Convention almost unanimously la favor of the 32d Parallel. Mayor Hulsey, of your city, made himself popular. I have a joke on him whioh I will tell If yon will promise to protect me against him when I come to your city. One day dar * the Convention he went oat to the “Rink,’ wm for Momotime the ardent admirer of nty upon skates—or rather a very good substitute for skates, whioh is all tbe same. — He looked long, and the longer he looked tbe more he languished to be gliding troond among tho host of pretty girls that made the Rink happy with their nreseuce.

Rot hs bad not cal culated tho possible treachery that might lie in those small rollers oudar each boot. He made a bold stnhe for the center of the Rink, however—having,a lady taeach eye, bntalM; he took a “seat upon the floor" without any hpeeisl invitation.
