McClornand, of Illinois, was mado permanent President, and, upon taking tbo chair, delivered an able and patriotic ad- dioss—demanding reform and tbo overthrow of centralism and corruption, and a cessation of tho sectional war which has boon waged since tho deWra.iou of peace. ‘A VicoTresi ! dent was appointed from each State.

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 iu the court room. The accused was present, and tho verdict of •• We, tho jury, find the prisoner guilty of adultery,” was read. .Solicitor Little objected to tho form, and •lated that it should hare road " adultery and fornication." Col. llawitius, pne of tbo counsel for the do fence, objected on the grounds that no’ such •charge had been givon the jury by tbo judgo ■sustained him and iu that ho had not so charg <ed.

Tilden was mado unanimous. , Tho announco, ment of tho nomination elicited boisterous 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. The foregoing synopsis of the action of the Convention coutaius every thing which our readers could learn by wading through dozen columns of proceedings. To give a full- length account of tho doings of tho Conven tion would exclude every thing else from our columns. issne of the 20th inst, tho Atlanta Telegram. d “ Lively tinjes iu 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 mer, but I have tho statement of an eyo wit ness of tho whole sccno, which has been cor roborated as true in pvery particular, and I will proceed to give it to you in substance as ( heard it. Said my informant :* Ni* SbackJefyrd eanui. ro Loclgo ot 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.

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.

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 Two Platforms. On our first pago wo publish tho Radical platform—that adopted by the Democratic party will bo fouud ou tho inside of our pres- ont issuo. The one contains tho gospel of hate—the othor flaunts tho white banner of peace. Tho ono promises a continuance of tho mal-admio istratiou of tho past fifteen years—tho othci demands reform. Scan them closely, fellow-citizens—examine them carefully—and you must decide in favor of that adopted by tho Democracy. Fot the Southern fVfttchmon. FROM SAVANNAH.

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 ford's eut’ro speech. 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.

Ho came forward and spoke perhaps thirty miuutes, or more, lie said ho endorsed Mr. S’3. speech in tho main, hut demurred on two or three points.

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 more than usual, and feeling sleepy, desired a placo to lie down. Before going to his room ho directed that ho should be called at 3i 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.

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.

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 '.. : .
