Athens, Oa. WEDNESDAY M0BH1S6, SEPT, ltt, 18«4 Largest Circulation! READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE 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, r /^1 EOKGIA, Jackson county.

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.
