Fifth District.
Tho Radical Exccutiro Committco of the
Fifth District has ordered another ’convention
tc nominate a candidate in place of Freeman,
who declines to run. It is no use—Candler
will bo elected.
First District.
Tho nominating convention in tho First Dia
trict nominated Col. Julian Hartridgo, of Sa
vannah, on Wednesday last. This was a nora
inatiou cminontly fit and proper. Col. Hart
ridgo is known to the whole State as a gentle
man of (ino attainments and eminently quali
fied for tbo position to which ho aspires. We
hope ho will bo elected.
Seventh District.
Tbo nominating convention of tho Seventh
Congressional District met'at Cartcrsviilo on
Wednesday last. Mossrs. Young, Waddell
Printup and Trammell were voted for by their
friends, without any formal nomination being
rnado. After a somewhat protracted and ani
mated contest, tho lion. N. L. Trammell was
finally ilcclarcd the nominoo ot tho convention
Col. Trammell is a nativo of Habersham
county, and a ^od of tho late Maj. Johu Tram
moll, of Whiummnty. Col. T., it will bo re
membered, served four years as President of
tho Sonata, with distinguished ability. Ho
\vas one of the best presiding officors wo over
saw. Ho is now in all tho intellectual vigor of
matured manhood, and will make an oxcollcnt
member of Congress. Tho gallant Gen. Young,
who has served tho Seventh District evor since
tho surrender, will retire for a season.
Col. Trammell has opposition in tho person
of Dr. Felton, a nativo of this city, who has
long resided in the soventh district, and is now
running as an independent candidate.
The Congressional Delegation.
Seven of tho nine Districts of tho State
have made nominations for Congress, as fol

From the surrender down to the present
moment, whenever important elections are
pending, negro disturbances periodically oc
cur. These so-called “ outrages” are greatly
exaggerated, and the Radicals get up a ferment
and make much capital out of them. This has
been the case preceding every election.
Now, is any body green enough to believe
that the Democrats will submit to negro in
solence from year to year, and never create
any disturbance until tho very eve of an elec
tion, when they know it will bo ruinous to
them f Is any body silly enough to believe
that these disturbances happen by accident,
just before elections f On the other band,
does not every one know that they must be
got up by tho Radicals for tbo especial pur
poso of making capital 1
Wo have noticed for some time past that «
storm was browing. “Outrages” were re
ported in all directions. The Radical papers
were full of them. Scalawag delegations be
gan to visit Washington, and a general hue
and cry was raised.

and another ono as his successor, and the

of tho editors elected were unfortunate in fail

Our Caudidatc for Congress.
Capt. Garnett MeMillan is woll known to tho
people of tho upper counties, and needs no in
troduction to them ; but as there are maDy iu
tho lower end of tho District who do not know
him, they would doubtless ho pleased to hear
something about him.
Ho is tho son of tho lato Col. Robert Mc
Millan, of Clarkesville (formerly of Elberton)
and acknowledged on all hands to bo a young
man of decided ability. As a member of tho
Legislature two years ago, ho mado his mark
as an nblo debater, and ho has also distin
guished himself as arising young lawyer in the
Western Circuit.
Wo havo known Garnott McMillan from his
youth up, and know that ho has maintained
a spotless private character. Ho is warm and
ardent in his friendship, kind, genial and af-
fablo in disposition, and will win friends wtaer
ever ho goes.
Somoofour exchanges speak of him as a
Methodist minister. This is calculated to
mislead their readers to a certain extent
Preaching is not his regular avocation
though ho does sometimes, in tho language of
our old-timo Methodist frionds, “ exercise in
public,” as docs also our present worthy Rep
resentative, the Hon. H. P. Bell. Indoed,
this is quite common among tho up-country
lawyers—many of thorn now being Methodist
and Baptist preachers.
Tho Badicals cannot touch bottom in this
District, and if ho lives, Capt. McMillan will
bo our next Representative in Congress.
Had ho been nominated, wo should havo
very cbeorfnlly supported Hon. B. H. Hill,
as wo boliovo ho has not an equal in either
branch of Congress to-day. It would bo
proud distinction to havo ono District repre
sented by such a man.
So-Nomination of Hon. A. H. Stephens.
Notwithstanding his letter to citizens of
Groone county, in which ho not only declined
running again for Congress, but intimated that
ho would probably resign before tho end of bis
present term, wo are not at all surprised at
bis nomination by the Convention of tho Eighth
District, which met la Augusta on Wednesday
last. Tho nomination was not effected until
aboot daylight Thmsday morning, tho Con
vention having sat all night, and balloted up
wards of one hundred times. Ho was finally
declared unanimously nominated.
At the opening of the Convention tho can
didates were Col. Matthews, of Oglethorpe
Hon. M. W. Lewis, of Greene, Col. Cumming,
of Augusta, and Mqj. Rucker, of Elbert. Ono
aftor another was withdrawn after tho an

HAVE YOU TRIED
JURUBEBA?
ARE YOU
Weak, Nervous, or Debilitated?
Are you so Languid that any exertion requires more
of an effort than you feel capable of making ?
Then try JURUBEBA, the wofiderfui tonic and in-
vigorator, which sots so beneficially on the secretive
organs as to impart vigor to all the vital forces.
It is no alcoholic appetiser, which stimulates for a
short timo, only to let tho sufferer fall to a lower depth
of misery, but it is a vegetable tonic, acting directly
on tho liver and spleen.
It regnlates the Bowels,quiets the nerves, and gives
inch a healthy tone to the whole system as to soon
make the invalid feel like a new porson.
Its operation is not violent, bat is characterized ny
great gentleneis; the patient experiences no sudden
change, no marked results, but gradually his troubles
“Fold their tents, like tbo Arabs,
And silently steal away.”
This is no new and untried discovery, but has been
long used with wonderful remedial results, and is pro
nounced by the highest medioal authorities, “ »b« »«<i
powerful tonie and alterative known.”
