1 Charleston tlcatennial: tv
Tbo ccntonnial celebration of tbo battle of
Fort Moultrie, at Charleston, last week, was
a grand affair. Military companies from North
and South participated in it. and good feeliug
generally prevailed.
FOURTH OF JULY.
The Centennial Anniversary of tho Day.
On tbis hundredth anniversary of the glori
ous Declaration of Independence, wo congrat
ulate our readers that, notwithstanding the
cruel fratracidal war through which our conn
try has passed and the many violations of tbo
Constitution, by which our pcopio have been
oppressed, tbero still burns in tbo hearts of
our countrymen tbo samo lovo of Liberty
which animated tho sires of '7G—there is still
remaining a sufficiency of patriotism •• to
leaven the wbolo lump.”
It is peculiarly proper or. tbis tbo first cen
tennial anniversary of Independence, that our
pcopio should do honor to tbo memory of the
noble spirits who,"ono hundred years ago de
termined to bo free, and adopted the noble
scBtlmert of Patiick Henry, ’• Give me liberty
or yire me death." Let Its all endeavor to
drink inspiration from the same fountain, and
renew our vows to transmit to posterity the
noblo horitngo received from tbo fathers of the
Republic.
Wo have hoard tbo remark mado soveral
times within tbo past few years that, so far
as the South is concerned, the Fourth of July
has played out. Tbis was, no doubt, thought
lessly said. Tbo people of the South oughl
to feel a greater interest in that day that)
those of any other section. Neither time r.or
circumstance can rob them of it. It was
.Southern hand which wrote tho Declaration
of Independence—it was tho clarion voico of
a Southern orator which aroused tho colon
ists to resistance- -it was a Southern General
who led our armies to victory and first set in
machinery of our Govornment-
it was Southern valor which furnished the
bono and sinew” which secured victory P
our arms. In view of theso facts, let no South
ern man think tho Fourth of July has “played
out,” hut let all teach their children to oh
servo tho day and revereneo tho memory of
those who mado it illustrious in the world's
history.
Ninth District.
A correspondent of tho Gainesville Eagle
suggests Col. Thos. J. Haralson, of Union
county, as a suitable successor to lion. B. H.
Hill as Representative from this Congression
al District. We do not know whether Mi-
Hill will decline a re-election—have not heard
ot e word from hint on tho subject—but think
ltdueto him to send hint hack again if bo is
willing to servo. A man cannot do justico to
himself or his constituents in ono single Con
gross—itrcqnircs timo to show what is in him
If Mr. Hill is unwilliug to servo longer, wo
know of no more deserving gentleman to suc
ceed him than Col. Haralson. Wo have known
him many years and take ploasuro in endors
ing all that “ Mouutaineor" has said in his
behalf.
Primary Election.
A ptimary election was held in Fulton coun
ty last Saturday week to soled delegates to
tho guberuatoiial convention. Two tickets
were in the field—one for James aud tho other
for Colquitt. The James ticket was elected
by upwards of two hundred majority. Since
tho election, the papers havo teemed with
charges of trickery aud corruption. Of courso,
tbo principals wero not responsible for this,
and whoever is guilty ought to feci ashamed.
Ratification Meeting iu Atlanta.
On Saturday night a grand ratification moet-
iug was held iD Atlanta, which was addressed
by Gen. Gartrcll, Dr. Miller, Judge Trippe,
Col. Hugo, Col. J. 11. Jamas, and others. The
meeting was largo and enthusiastic, aud all
passed off pleasantly.
Another Suicide.
Another young lady has diod by her own
bands—Miss Aunio Well*, of Dalton, who
shot herself through tho tomplo with a pistol
la3t Thursday. Sbo lelt letters assuring hor
friends that no one but herself was to blame
for tho rash act—that sho simply sought rest
and poaco. Sho must havo been partially do
inented. We cannot boliovo that a beautiful
young lady would tako her own life while in
K»r right mind. What a sad affair !
The Kendrick Case.
At about 8 o'clock Judgo Crawford was t
sent for, and Eton opfeaud ar.d took his seat
After tho usual preliminaries tho vordict was
received and read in silonco. Not many wero

and tho verdict of •• We, tho jury, find the

.Solicitor Little objected to tho form, and

applause.
Tho vote of Georgia, on the first ballot was
sixteen for Bayard, five for Tildou and one
for Hancock. On the second ballot, fifteen
for Tildeu, and seven for Bayard.
On Thursday morning, that favorite 6on of
tho West, Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana,
was nominated for Vico President by accla
mation, and with unbounded enthusiasm.
Tho liuaucial plank of the platform elicited
warm debate aud provoked great excitement
As finally agreed upon, wo think it is the very
best which could havo been adopted.

to he an account of
Mr. U. K. Shackleford's temperance lecture
at Homer, on the 27 l th ult.
Mr. Shackleford is the General Suporinten
dent of tho Cold Water Templars of the State
of Georgia, a ministor of the Gospel, and a
man of no little ability; hence his prompt to
ply to tho infamous falsehoods in that article
in tho noxt issuo of tho Telegram, should he
published in tho Watchman as a simple act of
justice. I Dolico the Chronicle <£■ Sentinel aud
the Constitution aud othor papers in tho State
have published tho articlo and do uot men
tion that Mr. Shackleford has not only denied
every statement therein, but denounced the
author as an unmitigated slanderer. It is the
rankest injustice to a good man and a direct
stab at a good cause.
Now I was cot at tbo above meeting at Ho

THE NOMINEES.
On Thursday morning last, the editor of this
paper received a dispatch from the special cor
respondent of tho IFafcbwian, announcing tho
nomination ol Gov. Samacl J. Tilden, of New
York, as tho Democratic candidato for the
Presidency, and stating that Gov. T. A. Hen
dricks would lio nominated for tho Vico Pre
sidency.
This announcement did not tako us by
surpriso—as it was seen, days before tbc
meeting of tho Convention, that Tilden had a
very numerous following.
Although we had nothing against Gov. Til-
don personally, wo have on many occasions ex
pressed a preference for auother distinguished
gentleman, who, though defeated, is at least
the peer of any man in America to-day, and we
aro not ashamed of having advocated his nom
ination. The Convention, however, differed
witli us in opinion, aud we most cheerfully
acqniesco—preferring not to follow tho bad
example set by tho so-called “ straights” four
years ago—many ol whom are now supporting
Hayes and Wheeler. Although Gov. Tilden
was not our first choice* wo shall support him
to tho best of our humble ability.
Tho selection of Vico President is a capital
one. Tho name of Thomas A. Hendricks will
stir up tho wildest enthusiasm throughout tho
land, aud greatly strengthen tho chances of
success, by securing tho support of several
Western States.
Let us havo no “bolting" this time—no
“ straights”—but let all who aro disgusted
with tho dominant party and its corruption,
join in bhouting for Tilden, Hendricks and
Reform.

State, iu 1814. He commenced his collegiate
studies at Yalo College in 1837 and completed
them in the University of New York. In 1844,
in connection with John L. O'Sullivan, he es
tablished tho llaily Netcs in New York city,
and uuder4>|s editorial control it w ielded a
powerful influence. In 1S4G, he was elected
a member of the Assembly from Now York
city and also a member of the constitutional
convention of that year- In 1855, he was an
unsuccessful caudidate lor Attorney Genera..
Iu 18G7 he was chosen chairman of the Demo
cratic executive committee and a member ot
tho constitutional convention of ihat year.
After loading in breaking down and scattering
the corrupt rings in New York city during
18G8, 18G9, 1870. 1871. 1872 and 1873. lie was
acknowledged as the head of the .Democratic
party in 1874, and placed irv nomination fm
the offico ofGovornor, to which ho was elected
by a majority of ovor 50,000, against, a corns
ponding majority iu favor of Gov. Dix two
years before.
His career as Governor of New York—his
many reforms in the public service—his war
fare upon corrupt rings aud prosecution of
official thieves—have given him a national
reputation. *
If he can bo. elected President, and we boot
ho will he, ho will have a more extensive field
iu which to operate, ns a reformer. , t
Thomas A. Hendricks, ibo nomineo fui
the Vico Presidency, is now Governor of Indi
ana. lio was horn in Muskingum county.
Ohio, in 1819, and is now lifty-soven years
old. H is father moved to Indiana when h
was only three year* old. Ho received a lib
eral education—graduating at Hanover Col
lege in 1841. He studied law at Cliambcts
burg, Pa., and was admitted to practice in
1843. llis success was very rapid. Thor*
was a charm about him which wou hosts
of fiicnds.
In 1848, Mr. Hendricks was chosen a mem
her of the State Legislature, and in 1850 be
served in tho State constitutional convention
During the next fivo years ho represented the
Indianapolis district iu Congress and for fom
years afterwards was Commissioner of the
Genera! Land Office. Ill 1800 he ran for Go
veruor and was defeated by Henry S. Lane
who was chosen U. S. Senator immediately
after tho election and Oliver P. Moitoa sue
cecded him as Governor. In 1802. Mr. Hen
dricks was chosen U. S. Seuator for the term
ending iu 1609. Daring his Senatorial term
ho was active in opposition to tost oaths, re
construction and all tho other deviltries of tho
Radical party. In tho memorable episode of
tho impeachment of the President, he played
an important part aud added to his reputa
tiou as a lawyer.
In 18G8, he was a prominent candidato for
the Presidency before the Democratic con
vention of that year—receiving at one time
tho vote of New York aud tho northwest. IV.
beiiovo the Georgia delegates also voted for
him. In 18G6, ho ran for Governor of Indian;
again, and was defeated by Conrad Baber
who beat him only 9G1 votc3. In 1872, la
wns elected Governor of Indiana, through hi
personal popularity—all other officers, except
Superintendent of Public Instruction having
been elected by the Radicals.
Governor Hendricks is a man of medium
and ttareo-fourths bushels per acre, notwith
standing it was injured considerably by the
rust. Mr. Smith says lio is confident that it
was cut off at least one-third by the rust.—
After cutting his wheat and hauliug it out, be
had tbo stubble turned under. He then bed
ded it up and set it out in potato slips. He
expec's to cultivate it in potatoes and have it
ready for eowing again this Fall.
Mr. iS. manured his lot with stablo manure
and oottou seed. I think his courso is the
propeg ono for tbo furmorjkiat largo to purtue
iu the future, as it is getting almost useless to
sow wheat in this couulry without manuring
it. __ _____ '

the Presbyterian Church, and a very fair :tu
lienee greeted his appoarauco notwithstand

He was introduced to the audience by Mr. Jos.
U. Telford, the presiding officer of the Lodge
in Homer. Tho District G. \V. C. T. of the
9th Congressional District, Prof. \V. n. Simp
kins, was also present, occupying a front seat.
Mr. Shackleford made an able speech in be
half of tho temperanco cause.
During the courso of his speech, in alluding
to tho universal habit of drinking and treat
ing in bar-rooms during political campaigns,
he said “ that every member of tho State Leg
islature who bought whiskey and treated to
secure his election swore falsely when ho took
the oath of office; for in that oath he denies
that ho did any such thing.” This caused a
seusatltu ; and scores of people turned and
looked o;er at Col. Turnbull. Tho Col. did
not say:. wordlTOr^Jia hosay anything or
make an.’ interruption during Mr. Shackle

Mr. Shackleford then went on to speak of
the “ Local option Law,” and took tho Legis
lature to task for defeating tho general local
option bill, and many other good things fuil of
sound reason and facts. When Mr. Shackle
ford ended Dr. Cbenault, tho Chaplain of the

Tho Doctor responded iu a neat ton minutes

Then Turnbull was called on. Ho came

Dead Lock iu Appropriations.
Tho Houso of Representatives having eat
down the appropriations for tho fiscal year
beginning the first of Jnly somo forty odd mil
lions, tho Senate refused to pass the appro
priation bill. Thus the matter stood on tbo
first of tbis month. To enablo the Govern
ment to go on, the Houso passod an act con-
tinning the old appropriations ten days, until
an agreement ipight bp made by the two
Houses.
The conduct of tho Radical Senate is, we
boliovo, without precedent in tbis country.
We hopo tbo Houso will “ stick.’’. Let

o’clock as he had an engagement at 4. At
tho lime appointed the lady kuocked on bis
door and getting no response looked in, and
to her great astonishment thero ho lay dead
upon tho bed. Everything indicated that ho
had died in a sweet sleep. In a very short
time Dr. Mackio, an English surgeon and phy
sician arrived. He said life was extinct and
bo could do nothing. I am told that he after,
wards made a jnst morle/a examination and
found an auricle of the heart completely clos
od with a spongy substanco. The Consular
Agent wns immediately informed and took
charge of tho body nnd of his effects. He
was buried to day at 3 P. M. with military
honors, somo fifty or sixty gentlemen, mostly
Americans and Englishmen, beside a number
of Egyptian officers, and eight or ten ladies
were at the burial. Tbo Episcopal burial
service was read by an English clergyman,
Rev. Mr. Davis. The American flag over the
Consulate has been at half-mast to day on ac-
popflt of his death.
At tho lima of his death .Gen. Reynolds was
Adjutant-General of tho Egyptian Army of
tha rpsoonsibility rest upon the Radical Sen- the Coast, a position which I am told ho bas
ate, if they wl$ to atop the wheels of Gov- held under tbo Khedive, some five or six years.
turo treating to whiskey, and especially de
nied that he was that kind of a Legislator, and
elated an instance where a man came to him
and said ho would vote for him if ho would
treat, and that ho would have knockod him
down hut for—(hero I fail to remember his
eason why ho did uot do it, but an incredu
lous smile went round through tho audience.)
Ho then weut on to opposo any legislation on
tho question aud advocated simple persuasion
and educating tho people up to a temperance
at aud point. Alluding to Mr. Shackleford's
remarks that ho would vote for no man w ho
was opposed to the people having the right to
vote on this question of liquor, or no liquor,
ho said Mr. Bayard, who will probably ho the
Democratic candidato for President, likes his
toddy, aud Mr. Morton, who is likely to be the
Radical caudidate, is a temperance man; yet
you (turuiug to Mr. S.) would uot vote for
Morton—you would not do that. Mr.
shook his head to indicate that ho would not.
Mr. Tnrnbull euileirife-ftotikhis soat amid tho
applause of tho audicnco.
Mr. Shackleford again took tho floor to ro-
ply to Turnbull, and then tho excitement ran
high. Ho took Turnbull to task about the
quality of his (Turnbull's) Democracy iu op
posing tho right of tho people to legislate at
tho ballot box on this liquor question. Ho al
so alluded to Turnbull s denial of bavin
treated to secure h : .3 election, aud sail} thou ;
‘ there tho houorahie gentleman is all rig'lit—
the cap dosen't lit him” or words to that ot-
feet, and said further that ho had seen members
and candidates in Atlanta treating crowds iu
tho bar-rooms of Atlanta and that it was a
common practice with candidates for every
office in the gift of the people from the Mayor
and common council down.
After tho speaking was over Turnbull camo
forward and shook hands with Shackleford, it
being tho first time they had over met.
They were perfectly fiietidly. Turnbull
did not givo him tkoho or say a word about
taking auyth1 ngTSWv'"'* *' — -
Now, sir, this is tho statement of a man who
was present and iu whom wo all havo confi

fer for corroboration to any of tho officers aud
members of tho lodgo of Good Templars at

Most of our citizens would have preferred
Bayard. He would havo carried old Georgia
iluiost unanimously, hut even his partisans
ind friends hero say ho was too much above
the crowd to be elected, even if nominated.
Hancock and Hendricks was the next ticket,
rile Morning Xetrs, following the public senli
moat, was strong for Hancock, and this morn-
makes a very ungracious comment on Til-
den’s nomination.
Too thermometer hero yesterday was 95°,
aud in Charleston, where our military eompa
nics were celebrating the Fort Mould iu cen-
teunial, the thermometer varied from 100° to
110°. There were about a dozen cases of suu-
stroke. What amusement thero euu ha in pa
rading in thick uniforms, over sunny and sandy
streets, with the thermometer indicating 100°
or over, is one of those things do fellow can
find out.
One of our temperance Lodgos hero has
doae a very graceful and grateful act in plac
ing a water-cooler, tilled with ice-water, in the
eutrauce to the Express Company’s office, with
the iuvitation to al! tostop upand take a drink.
This is ono of the strongest arguments for
temperanco I have seen lately, and it would
not bo a bad example lor some of your temper
ance Lodges to follow. A (treat many busi
ness men stop to take a drink of ice-water
thero, instead cf going ou a few yards and or
dering a julep or cobbler, to mako them thirs
tier and warmer. 1 havo even scon an Alder
man stop and tako a drink of water, “just to
sco how it tastes,” you know.
t see that delegates have been chosen by
mass meeting in Athens for Colquitt. Will del
egates for Hardeman rju against them, think
you ?
1 hoard a prominent man say tho other day
that Colquitt was a good soldier, hut that his
Insurance company had failed, that his per
sonal dobts had been compromised, and that
ho had gone around the country nominating
himself in tho most open manner, and was
hrusting himself, an uninvited candidato, up
on tho suffrages of the people.
I had always thought after tho candidates
been nominated for Governor by the Conven
tion, that it was fair and respectable for them
to travel all over the Stato, making spoechcs
and striving for election ; but for three meu
liko Colquitt, Hardeman and James, to travel
from Fair to Fair, from Convention to Con
vention, (whether agricultural or journalistic,)
from towu to town, making speeches from ho
tels, court houses or Sunday schools, in which
the main idea is that ihey wish aud expect to
be tho next Governor, does uot appear to he
dignified, high-toned or hardly decent. The
old principle of lotting the office seek the man
holds truo no longer with them. They havo
sought openly and secretly, of their own voli
tion and impelled by their ambition, rather
than by their popularity or fitness for tho po
sition, to placo themselves so before tho peo-
pio that they caunot bo ignored, oven if they
were uot desired, as candidates.
This i3 tho opinion of a large number of our
inllueutial eilizens here, aud is, I believe, the
opinion of many elsewhere, aud if somo com
promise candidato, who had not sought tho
office, were nominated by the Convention, I
believe tho voters of Georgia would gladly
push ,;mido thoso who have made theinseives
so coinBum. and elect a man v ho had enough
so 1 f-iesppcf£jmd respect for tho position, to
wait to lie uamihated by tho people, before
nominating hiiuswY5j i '.. : . Cuervkyl.
