’ . Athens, Gra. WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT. 7, 1S74. Largest Circulation! HEADING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. SEVENTH DISTRICT. A deplorable state of affairs exists in tbe Seventh District, which, like our own, is one of the strongholds of Democracy in tbe State. Col. Trammell was nominated some time ago by tbo Democratic District Convention at Calhoun, and Dr. Felton, aaothcr Democrat, declared himself an independent candidate, and took tbo stump. Great efforts have been made to effect a compromise. The Executiv 0 Committee was called together one day last week, but nothing could be effected. The Democracy seems to bo hopelessly divided, and there is great danger that a Radical will tako tho field and get eloctod. What is tho cause of all this ! It is allegod that thero was trickery and fraud resorted to in tho procurement of the nomination. We know nothing of the facts in this particular case, but every body knows that tbe Conven tion system has been so greatly abused that almost any body who will stoop to tho practice « f chicanery and trickery may secure a nomi nation. This has, in a great measure, driven high-minded, honest, modest men from the r eld of politics, and left the offices of the country to ho scrambled for by unscrupulous I •Utica! adventurers, who make offieo huuting a trade and office-holding an avocation. A reform is much needed, and a reform the people aro determined to have, li existing buses of tho Convention system continue, the people will abandon it in disgust; and if tioth- A Violent Storm Visited the Southorn Atlantic coast early last week, and did much damage at Charleston and various otlim seaports, besides injuring plan tations considerably.

No ouo need feel surprise at this. If all the correspondence of carpet-bagger Governors could bo laid before the public, wo have little- doubt many similar cases would bo exposed. Hon.

Mr. Elitok On last Wednesday, the or tier of Good Templare celebrated its sixth an liiversary, at Acwortb. There was a full dele gallon in attendance, and altogether the body was about as fino looking and intelligent a set of men as we have ever seen met togeth er ; and their business was conducted in a manner that would arouso the envy of almost any deliberative body in the land. Each sub ject introduced was discussed thoroughly and ably, and many of tho delegates proved them selves hard to equal in debate. The meeting was presided over by It. W. G. C. Hickman, owing to the abscuco of Dr. Gwaltney, and through the courtesy of G. W. Counsellor Foster. Aftcrtbo reception of del ■ cg.'tes, Ac , Col. Hickman addressed the mem bers—urging them to lie mindful of their obli gations to avoid ail bitterness of speech, Ac., and do all in their power to prevent divisions. Bro. Christian, of Acwortb, delivered a very fino address of weleorao to tho members, and assured them that tho doors of Acworth had been thrown wide opon to receive and enter- tain the Good Templars during tho session of the Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodgo then went to work dis posing of business as rapidly as possible. The report of the G. W. C. Dr. Gwaltncy, was one of the most able reports wo have ever beard—show ing the vast amount of good that had been done during tho year. Tbo number of Templars now in tho State amounts to over 16,000, with a rapid daily increaso. Tho Lodge held three sessions per day, and ■worked very faithfully during the time. I would furnish you a full account of tbo proceedings, but know that your spaco will not allow. One inqumant decision was made by tbe body—w hich was that cider, of any kind, is a violation of tho pledge. Agreeably to a resolution, tbo Lodge ad journed to tho Academy grove, Thursday af ternoon, whore a largo number of the people of tho county had collected, and a plentiful basket dinner was enjoyed. Afternoon was devoted to speech making. S. 0. Robinson, Rev. J. P. Lin, W. E. Jones, M. P. Foster, Col. John Millodgo and Col J. J. Hickman were the orators, and all did great credit to tbemsolvos. I did not hear them ail, but was particularly pleased with the eloquent address of my friend, Col. John Milledgo, of Atlanta. On Thursday morning, the following officers were installed : J. G. Thrower G. W. C. E. F. Lawson.. G- W. Counsellor. Mrs. L. Clark G. W. V. S. C. Robinson G. W. S B. 11. Washington Ass’t. J. K. Thrower Treas. H. K. Shackelford Ass’t. B. C. Holt G. W. M. Miss Willie Giles Ass’t. W. U. Kinman G. W. I. S. J. R. Christy G. W. O. S. The election foi Grand Delegates resulted as follows: M. P. Foster, W. E. Jones and J. W. H. Underwood. Alternates—Mrs. L. Clarke, E. F. Lawson and Col. Hansell. T. F. Wynne, Eeq., of Atlanta, was elected Grand Sup’t of tbe Cold Water Temples. The officers chosen gave great satisfaction. I maj say of G. W. C. Thrower, that no man in Georgia has worked more faithfully in tho cause, nor is there a more whole-souled Tem plar to be found any where. DuriBg ear stay, I had tho pleasure, in com pany with Messrs. Salo, Hargrove, Tomlinson and Cothran, of enjoying the hospitality of Mr. JR. J. Nichols, to whose excellent family we are grateful for many kindnesses. Through bis courtesy, I had tbo pleasure of a nice drive over tbo town, in a vehicle from his liv ery stable. Mr. Elam Christian is publishing tbe Moni- (tor. an excellent little paper, at this place. Gainesville was chosen as the place of tbe next meeting of tbo Grand Lodge. Throughout the entire session, the members •seemed to onjoy themselves finely, and when tbe final moment arrived when we must clasp hands and part, many hearts were sad and many tears were shed. It is hoped that rich iarvests will bo gathered during tbo year as .ugurate the old-time “scrub race." This uay temporarily injure the Democratic party, hut it would, in tho end, euro the existing evil. The plan suggested in tlioso columns some nme ago—which is not our “ thunder,” how- ver, but tho suggestion of one of Georgia's ;reatost men—would, it strikes us, satisfy all honest men. Let ballot-boxes bo opened at every precinct on tbo day of election for mem bers of tbo Legislature, (which occurs a month before tho election for Congress,) and let all ,'ho cbooso to do so vote for tbo man of their Loiee as a caodidato for Congress. Let the vote of tho several counties composing tho dis trict be consolidated, and tbo man receiving the largest number be declared tbo candidate. By thus submitting the matter directly to the people, thero would be no room left for com plaint, and no possibility of bargain, sale and corruption. BEN. HILL. His Speech to the Odd-1 cllows a’ the Cham her of Commerce Banquet. Atlanta Constitution. Tiif. Southern States—While the East can manufacture for tho world, the West feed ihe world, the South will clotho tho world. [Applause.] Amid tho deafening and continuous applause, lion. B. H. Hill rose to respond to this senti ment. The gazo of all was riveted upon him and when silenco prevailed Mr. Hill said, in substance: Mr. President and Gentlemen—I always es teem it a privilege to address gentlemen of in telligence and kindly hearts, and more espe cially tbit aiternoon. when called on to repre sent the Southern States. The sun in its daily rounds shines on uo people with more kindly sympathies or more generous hearts, or upon peoplo who dread less tho closest scrutiny of honest minds. [Aoplauso.] Tbe Southern States, it must bo confessed, have written the brightest chapters of American history, furnished tho author of tho Declaration of In dependence; it gave tho loader in tho first revolution; it formed tho Constitution that von and I revered. For sixty years her states incu guided the councils of the uation, and it grew and prospered as no peoplo ever pros pc-red before. [Applause.] Tho Southern States have had imposed upon thorn, and aro now forking out, tho most difficult, problem of the -.go. Events—tho causes of which I will not now enumerate—turned loose four millions of .n unlearned, unlettered and distinct race.— Che General Government enfranchised them in their ignorant condition, and placed great political p over in their hands. Tho result of this will affect tliu whole country. Can the South work out tho problem 1 Can slio pre- rve liberty and order, administer the law, nd lift 117) these people and make thorn intol- igent? This task is not of our soaking. It vas forced upon us. Ilavo you not exposed the South to an unprecedented danger I When, •the results of this meetiDg of the Grand Lodge of Georgia. J. B. C. while we oahnot approve the methods of its amendment, we are willing ty stand by the' Constitution as you amended it. [ Applause.] Can yon object, if wo agree to stand by your workf We will take Constitution as amend ed and as construed by the Supreme Court of tbe United States. [Applause] Bat we want you to stick to it, and not go outside of it. Will you do it t | Crios of yes, yes. f Wili you let us attend to our own affairsiu our own way ! [Yes, yes.] You will do it, I have no doubt, but will your politicians! [Cries of “ we will rnako them."] If I was satisfied that you would go homo and make your people ratify this treaty, I,would seal it and turn it over to my children and children’s children. [Ap plause.] If wo carry out this treaty, peace, glorious and eternal peace, will be ours. t Ap plause. Then would the Centennial at Phil adelphia usher in a century of prosperity and grandeur never before eDjoyed. Now we have tbo unlettered race among us. Is it not to our iutcrest more Allan yours that we should educato and elevato tbo negro to make him a good citizen t Who can better perform this work than we can ? Bat oae of tho speakers said that we would bo let aloue as long as wo administered justice and law. That is tbe very point. You are proposing already to go outsido of tkeCoustition. [Ap plause.] Who is the best and proper judge ! Georgia knows bettor than Massachusetts bow to take care of and improve her o .vu people, for sbo is more vitally interested. Now, if we have done nothing else here we kavo restored tbe Uui.m. [Applause.] Tho South fought for the Constitution, and the North for the Union. As an evidence that we had no ob jection to tho Constitution, the Confederate Government adopted it with immaterial ebang Wc altor all fought for a mere difference of opinion. [Applause.] Remember that the Union is made by tbo Constitution, and ob serve that Constitution. If the people bad come togothorand talked over their differences and understood each other, they would have settled thorn, and would have been ashamed that there had been any. [Applause.] But I have already spoken too long. [Loud criesof •• goon,” atidc beoring.] If tho North ern people could see the wrongs they have in ilicted on tho South they would be the first to lift their voices for its correction. Shall Mas sachusetts have greater power in determinin tho law in Georgia than Georgia herselff Shall outsido interference be allowed to pre vent us from solving our great problem ? There is but one way to prevent a war of races. It is to leave each State free to regulate its ow affairs. Let tbe people of tbe North come to gether and resolve to cleave to the Constitu lion. There has never been a day in my life that 1 have not 'oved tbo Union. [Applause. But it was tho Union according to the Constitu tion. [Applause.] Hero is my hand and my hoart to perpetuate that Union forever. [Ap plausc.j Shall wc have a Union wkoro New York is tho master and Georgia tho vassal Shall we have no peace except that enforced by the bayonet 1 The South will not humiliate herself. [Applause.] Wo will never admit that wo wore robpls. Men who wove willing to seal their faith with their blood will never admit that they wore traitors. And why should yoa desire us to do so ! Do you wish to call traitors and rebels brethren ? Would you not rather call bravo and true men your brethren, who, knowing their rights, dare maintain them. [Applause.] Is it any plea sure to you to send carpet-baggers down upon us? [No.no.] Was it any pleasure to you that they impoverished the South two him dred millions »f dollars t Do you expect Lou isiana to r.Jso her hands fettered with chains and declare that she loves the Union. Do yoa expect tho land of Calhoun and Rutledge, plun dered and outraged South Carolina, to feel affection for the Government that thus treats her ? I plead for tho wholo South. Let us choose our own rulers. Lot us tuanago our own affairs, subject to the Constitution. (Ap plause.) United, we can raiso a poan of praise to God for a gloriously peaceful country with a grandly glorious future before us. (Tromen dous applause.) During tho tatter part of Mr, Hill's speech it had becomo so dark that the reporter was not ablo to take very full notes Grand Land Distribution, AT HOUSTON.

It is a maxim that two races cannot exist in tho same country, clothed with equal rights. The solution of this problem will either be terrible in its consequences, or glorious iu its achievements. [Applause.J But to solvo it, wo must have peace at home and peaco with yon. I proposo that we mako a treaty of peace this afternoon, and let tho children of our old ancestors bear witness to it. [Applause.] I re present the Southern States and yon the North ern, and I care not whether you bo Republican or Democrat. Tbe first proposition I mako is, that we agree to keep the Union forever invi olate. [Round after round of applause greeted this.] I see you all agree to it, Republicans and Democrats. I want a great and undivided country, [ applausoj tho greatest country that ever was [deafening applause and cheers.] My friends, wo shall have it if we adhere to tho treaty [applause.] My next proposition is that slavery shall nevor again exist on tho American continent. [Rapturous applause.] Wo nevor enslaved the negro, you onslaved him, and sold him to us. [Great laughter. J And again, slavery inflicted more injury on us than you, because it prevented our development. But you did it. [Laughter.] I was not here when tbo negro was brought over [laughter,] but my lather told me about it. [Laughter.] The noxt clause of tho treaty I proposo to liothis: Whatever differences of opinion may arise, never settle it by arms. [ Loud cheers and applause.] Wars shall then come no more, and tho tribunal of reason will .be the only arbiter. But one exception I must mako to this proposition. If Massachusetts and Rhode Island should ever go to Africa and steal ne groes and try to put them on us again, then tee will go to tear. [Tremendous applause and laughter.] I am glad to soe that you all agree so cheerfully to all these clauses of the treaty —tbeso tee offer. Now, then, let me propose a clause for you: and that is that you will pledge your lives, your children, your proper ty and your sacred honors to stick to the Con stitution of the United States. [Loud applause, j If tbe North bad never seceeded from tbe Con stitution tbe South never would have attempt ed to secede from tho Union. [Applause.] But you did secede. [Laughter.] The South was not dissatisfied with the Constitution or its principles, and went to war solely because you speeded from the Constitution. We laid down our arms at yoqr bidding—after awhile. [Laughter.] We certainly laid them down. [Moro laughter.] When tbe war closed you said we bad equal rights iu the Union* but did you not exclude us from representation in Congress! What we require of you iu this treaty is not to get outside of the -Constitu tion any more. [Laughter.] You may ask, what Constitution!

See what St. Lonis says of Texas Enterprise. 4t The Lone Star State is one of the garden spots of the continent. No land on the earth is more produc- e, and possessors of real estate property in Texas may look with certainty for its rapid advancement io value. A plan is on foot, wnich, although partaking of the 44 distribution" idea, will give many a man a good farm for an insignificant sum. The managers, Messrs. Wag ley «fc Lockart, of Houston, are men of high respectability and great business capacity, and therefore reliability is assured."—St. Louin Hrpul. The Texan Odd-Fellow also endorses the above, and states: From our long and favorable knowledge of the firm we take pleasure in commending them to the public as honest, honorable gentlemen." And tho Galveston ,V«ic» adds: " Tho distribution will comprise over 00,000 'land, located in thirto-cigbt counties, and it is pro mised by gentlemen, whose characters are equal to those of any in the land, that they will be fairly, hon estly and equitably distributed." And the Aye, of Houston, states : A FIVE IMMIGRATION SCHEME. W C Wagley and Robert Lockart, of the firm of Wag- ley «t Lockart, are both prominent and reliable citi- zens of Houston. In their own right, and as author ized agents, they hold subject to disposal some of th most valuable rerl estate, property in this city, an thousands of acres’ ofland io the host sectors of Texas, Theschemeembraces thedistribution of$300,000 f Texas lands. They put into tho distribution the brick buildingon Main street, in this city,and in which the office of this paper, valued at SIS,000, and pleudid dwelling house on Rusk street (tho 44 Fifth Avenue" of Houston,) and s voral hundred unimprov ed building lots in this growing young city. For th mall sura of three dollnrs. one takes tbe chance o becoming the lawful owner of Texas property worth from $390 to $18,000. So far as regards the standing managers, that is a matter beyoud the possibil ity of cavil." The Teleyroph, of Houston, thus speaks of the dis tribution : 44 The drawing will come off on the 21st of Dccc aber. just in time for lots of people to get a s lbstantinl Christmas gift.* Tho card gives all t ie pa tlcubi much better than we can write tdom, and wo need only our readers tbe assurance that the managers are men of stacking and reliability." The Herald, of Dallas, ar othergrowingeity of Tex as. commends its advantages to the public thus : 44 Wo can vouch for tue responsibility of the firm and that all t-e- r promise they will perform. Th scheme is an excellent one, in our opinion, as a mean of settling up our State and iuviting immigration The Herald, Crockett, Texas, says : 44 Tho plan these gentlemen have adopted, to sell th largo amount of land for which they arc agents, is most commendable one. Tho drawing will be ooi ducted on the best plan that can be adopted, to secu airucss to all. Messrs.

The Willis Obncrver states : 44 These gentlemen arc too well known to need any further endorsement of ours." The Ellis county Hewn, Texas, comments as follows: 44 These gentlemen arc trustworthy and reliable.— There is a chance for you to obtain a good home by uvesting tho small sum of $3.
