Eighth District.
The Radical convention of th6 8tli District
mot at Augusta on the 9th, and resolvod that
it was inexpedient to nominato a candidate in
opposition to Mr. Stophens.
Grand Radical Pow-Wow.
A convention of delegates from all the South
ern States has been called to moot in Atlanta
or Chattanooga in October next, for thoosten
siblo purpose of ascertaining wbat farther
moasuros aro necessary to comploto Southern
re-construction, but for tho real object of man
ufacturing cock and bull stories in rogard to
so-called “outrages.” They will no doubt
make a sweet mess of it, and have it all ready,
cut and dried, for tho Presidential canvass
Fourth District.
Hon. nenry R. Harris was unanimously nom
inated for reflection to Congress on tho 10th
ballot, at Nownan, on the 9th inst.
Third District.
Gen. Phil. Cook was unanimously noruina
ted for ro-olection in tho Third District
Thursday last. This completes tho list. Tho
Democratic ticket is now full. Lot us see to
it that all aro elected.
Tho Seventh District
- Seems to bo in a muddle. Tho people in
some of tho aoanties are greatly dissatisfied
with tho lato nomination. Dr. Felton, tho in
dependent candidate, who is perfectly sound
on ajl tho issues of tho day. seems to be mak-
' lng strong headway. He has taken the stump
and boldly denounces the abuses of the con
vention system. Thousands flock to hear him,
applaud bis speechos and openly endorse him;
We fear that this split will lead to the election
of a Radical in that District.
The troth is, the convention plan has been
so grossly abused that wo do not wonder that
all sODsiblo and honest men are demanding a
reform. But the plan adopted, it strikes ns,
not a good one. It may break up the fraud
ulent practices which havo disgusted the peo
ple; but, in doing this, it may also break
down tho party.
The plan lately suggested in these columns,
and which is not original with us, but comes
from ono of tho foromost mon in this or any
other State, is tho proper one, it strikes us, to
euro this evil. Briefly stated, it is this: At
tho October olcction for mombors of tho Logis
lature, lot a soparate box he prepared, in which
electors may deposit their ballots for thoir
clioico for candidates at tho election for mem
bers of Congress tho ensuing month. Let tho
votes of the soveral counties be consolidated
and the man getting the largest numbor be do
dared the candidate.
This obviates tbo necessity of holding a con
lottcri of administration on tbo estatoof Jane D Young,

This, or some other plan must bo adopted, with a view of bringing up the colored voters
seated in 1807; and it becomes us to meet tit
fairly and squarely, and to do alMn our power
to avert the enactment of a measure which will
throughout the entire South. . ..
It was a hard enough fate upon us for oUr
conquerors to abolish'-slavery, and wrest from
us, without a dollar of compensation, the bil
lions of dollars invested in that property, which
bad descended from generation to generation,
as the patrimony of several ages; and then to
compel us to stand upon terms of legal equality
without former slaves, and meet them as
equals at the ballot box. This, however, the
conqueror dictated, and compelled submission
to bis dictation; and those who were most
fiery and denunciatory in their warfare against
it, accomplished nothing of good for our peo
ple.
All parties havo now united in acquiescence
in these measures; and all the States have
been re-admitted into the Union, as tbo North
ern States must admit, upon terms of legal
equality. Here then tbo reconstruction meas
ures should ceaso, and all parties should agreo
that the war is at an end; that we have saf-
iered its disastrous consequences; and that
no farther wrongs should be inflicted upon us.
At this stage, however, with a viow no donbt
to tho next Presidential campaign, and for tho
purpose of making tho colored voters more
enthusiastic in their support of the Republican
party, certain leaders of that powerful organi
sation bring forward what iscallcd the “Civil
Rights Dill,” which is now pending on the
calondar of Congress, and which, in fact, is
iotonded, not as a civil rights bill, but a social
rights measure; for the purpose of compelling
social equalitg between tho white and colored
people of tho Soutb. This can never be dono

HAVE YOU TRIED
JURUBEBA?
ARE YOU
Weak, Nervous, or Debilitated?
Are you so Languid that any exertion requires more
of un effort than you feel capable of making?
Then try JURUBEBA, the wonderful tonic and in-
vigorator, which acts so beneficially on tbo secret ve
organs as to impart vigor to all the vital forces.
It is no alcoholic appetiser, which stimulates for n
short time, only to let tho sufferer fall to a lower dopth
of misery, hut it is a vegetable tonic, acting directly
on the liver and spleen.
It rcgulatea the Bowels, quiets the nerves, and gives
such a healthy tone to tho wholo system as to soon
make the invalid feel like a new person.
Its operation ia not violent, but is characterised by
great gentleness; tbe patient experiences no sudden
ohange, no marked results, but gradually his troubles
■'Fold their tents, like the Arabs,
And sileutly 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 medical authorities, “ the most
powerful tonic and alterativo known.”
Ask yonr druggist for it.
