The Glade Convention.
The result of the Senatorial conven
tion at the Glade last Saturday, for the
nomination of a candidate for the 30th
Senatorial district, was substantially as
foreshadowed in our article last weeli.
With all respect to the gentlemen who
composed the Oglethorpe delegation,
we cannot but think they acted unwise
ly in withdrawing from the convention,
and they have placed their county in a
dilemma from which we earnestly hope
it may emerge without damage or dis
credit. There are wise men in that
county who did not appi’OVe the contem
plated action of tho delegation, and
among them, we are reliably informed,
was the gentleman who was their favor
ite for the nomination.
The delegations from Elbert and Mad
ison conlcf not have acted otherwise
than they did, and we confidently ex
pect the people to heartily endorse their
action at the polls.
The Globe Hotel. —This house of a
central business location in Augusta,
has been recently thoroughly repaired,
newly furnished, etc., and presents as
neat and striking appearance as could be
wishe 1 for. Maj Cameron, the courte
ous and gentlemanly proprietor, is the
very prince of hosts, and is rapidly
building up an unprecedented reputa
tion for his hotel. When you visit Au
gusta call at the Globe, and satisfaction
will be guaranteed.
A REPUBLICAN 'NEWSPAPER CORRES
PONDENT CONCEDES SOUTH CAROLI
NA TO THE DEMOCRATS.
H. V. Redfield, in Cincinnati commercial.]
Greenville, S. 0., September 6,187 G.
-—I am almost ready to believe that
South Carolina will go Democratic. At
present the chances are about even, but
tho doubt is in favor of the Democrats.
Tho State is aroused as it has not been
since tho war. It may fairly be said to
be ablaze from the mountains to the sea.
The whites are united as never before.
There is absolutely no division in ranks.
White Republicans who are not office
holders, are as scarce as whales in the
Ohio river. In nearly every paper I pick
up I find a “card” from some heretofore
white Republican, who announces him
self for Hampton, saying in effect, or
directly so, that African government here
has been a failure; that the State is
driftiug to distinction, and, that the only
relief is the election of a straight-out
white ticket. Mr. W. E. Rose, of Co
lumbia, whom I know, and who has
heretofore been unwavering in his Re
publicanism, is out in a card, with his
five sons renouncing the South Carolina
Republican party as a failure, and join
ing the Hamptom ranks. Not because it
is Hampton, not because it is styled
Democratic, but because the Republican
party in South Carolina has become a
negro party, and so lacking in the essen
tial requirements, in capacity to give
good government, as to unite the whites
in a solid body. We find the whites
united and determined to oarry the elec
tion. We find the Republicans divided,
split into a Chamberlain faction and an
anti-Chamberlain faction. The colored
leader, Eliott, says that if Chamberlain
is nominated next week he will vote for
Hampton. Judge Mackey says if Cham
berlain is not nominated ho will vote for
Hampton. The gods have not made
these Republicans mad, but they have
taken away a portion of what little sense
has heretofore been confided to their
keeping.
Shrinkage —Jones says that tho white
flannel suit he bought a year ago has
proved a very economical investment,
and has been of much use in his family
Jones weighs 250 pounds, and when he
bought it it fitted him remarkably well.
After the first washing his eldest son,
who weighs 100 pounds less than Jones,
senior, found it an excellent fit. Two
washings more made the garment de
lightful for a youth of nine, and at the
end of the season the baby was adorned
with the habiliments, which had shrunk
just enough to make them fit for a child
out of creepiug clothes. This year
Jones’ wife uses them as a dishcloth
Where all that flannel has shrunk to
Jones doesn’t see, and says he would
willingly take his whole family and his
mother-in law to a lecture which would
explain it, and pay double price.
A singular gun accident recently oc
curred at Pains-hill-house, near Cobliam,
in England. The farm bailiff, Mr. Heal,
laid a loaded gun on the top a corn bin
in the stable, and to his great surprise
he heard it some time afterward go off.
The gun was fired by a fowl which got
on the trigger, and the contents entered
the face of an aged man naned Collis,
who had been employed on the estate
for upwards of thirty years.
In response to a request for a repeti
tion, Reuter’s agent at Madrid repeats
verbatim the news of the arrest of Tweed
adding that the prisoners are closely
guarded at Vigo by the military author
ities. The first secretary of the Ameri
can legation has requested the extradi
tion of Tweed and he will consequently
be handed over to the American author
ities.
A special disdatcli from Vigo states
that Tweed was arrested at Pontevedra
where he landed from the sailing ves
sel in which he escaped from Cuba.
Mr. Adu in charge of the affairs of
the United States in absence of Minis
ter Cushing, visited the Spanish minis
ter of foreign affairs at LaGrange and
arranged for the surrender of pris
oner to the American government. The
Spanish authorities had been notified
of Tweed having Spain and
preparations had been made for his ar
rest long before his arrival.
The Democrats of New York have
nominated Lucius J Robinson for
Governor.
We the Grand Jury, selected, chosen and
sworn, for the September term. 1870, ot Elbert
Superior Court make the following General Pre
sentments :
Through appropriate committees our bom
bas examined ihe liooks and lecordi ot the Or
dinal-) , Clerk of ike Superior Court, Judge of
the County Court, and Tax Receiver, and find
them neatly and correctly kept. In like mam cr
,ve thoroughly examined and inspect the books
of the County Treasurer, which shows the fol
lowing exhibit, viz.:
Gene ral fund - $474 68
Pauper fund 326 14
Bridge fund ....... 26 37
Jury fund - . 413 93
Sheriff and Jailor fund 426 20
Stationery, fuel, &c 76 80
For salary of bounty Judge 44 50
Making an aggregate of $1,812 67
We also report them neatly and correctly
kept, reflecting credit upon that officer.
We have also exammed the dockets, of the
Justices of the, several Militia Districts and find
them correct in the main. We- would respect
ful)’ call their attention to section 4505 of the
revised Code.
We alsoteeormnend that the Board of Coon‘y
Commi.'sioners of Roads and Revenue, have the
public bridges repaired as eaily as practicable
that were injured by the recent freshet, to-wit:
The bridge on Doves creek near George
Oglesby’s residence.
Also the bridge over Beaverdara, aiLlark’s
mill.
Also the bridge across Mill Shoal creek, near
King’s ferry.
Also the bridge on CoMwater creek, near Car
penter’s mill.
We would further <all their attention tore
pairs needed on Doves creek bridge, near Oli
rer’s mills,
We further recommend that they take rotice
of the petitions presented to this body, in rela
tion *o building a bridge at Turner’s mill on
Beaverdam creek, and Higginbotham's Ford on
Beaverdara creek, and if in their opinion they
deem a bridgo at either place of practical utility,
to make provisions for Jtbe same as soon as the
condition of our fin nances will adroit.
We through an appropriate committee have
examined the jail and find it neatly kept, con
taining one prisoner who informs as that he is
well cared for.
We find the conrlhosse needing repair, but
upon inquiry of the County Commissioners, find
that they are taking steps to have the necessary
repairs attended to. We recommend speedy
action.
We have inquired after the condition of the
poor-house. We recommend that the County
Board of Commissioners take steps to have the
superintendent a more comfortable house erected
and the houses of inmates recovered, or the
roofs patched as they deem best in their judg
ment.
We have inquired into condition of the public
roads of the county and find them in a passable
condition ; but owing to the weather having
been so exceedingly dry, we infer that they could
not receive the necessary work. We reecom
mendthatthe Road,Commissioners have the roads
put in good condition as soon as practicable.
We learn that the road leading from the mouth of
Coldwater creek to Mr. G. W. Allen’s residence,
has been neglected tor the past two years. If
said road be a public road, we urge the Com
missioners to have it Worked as soon as possible.
We also call the attention of the Commissioners
to the law as regatds putting up mile posts and
sign boards.
We have looked after the affairs of onr County
Board of Education, and after careful examina
tion find their report perfectly satisfactory, to
wit:
Amount of funds received by the
present County School Commis
sioners, balance from 1874 $ 218 00
Amount of State fund for 1875 2,329 44
Poll tax for 1875. 1,581 00
Total amount received $4,128 44
Total amount paid out ’75 2,602 17
Leaving a balance on band $1,526 27
We have had claims laid before us by the
Sheriff and Clerk of the Superior Court. We
refer the matter to the 6 County Board of Com
missioners of Roads and Revenue for their con
sideration.
Persuant to the provisions of an act approved
August 20, 1872. We recommend that the pre
siding Judge grant to the Solicitor General,
Samuel Lumpkin, Esq., an order on the County
Treasurer for the sum of one hundred dollars in
part payment of and to be credited on his ac
count for insolvent costs in criminal cases. Pro
vided that if said Solicitor General receives at
this term any money from fines and forfeitures
said order for one hundred dollars shall be re
duced by the amount he so receives. This in
no way to effect his receipt of cost when paid
by defendants themselves.
We have examined the reports of the County
Judge, Sheriff, Ordinary and Clerk of the Su
perior Court in relation to fines and costs col
lectsd and paid over since the last term of the
Superior Court, to-wit:
Judge of the County Court has received and
paid over to the County Treasurer twenty-nine
dollars ($29.00).
The Sheriff reports twenty-five dollars ($25 00)
in his hands subject to the order of the court.
The Ordinary’s reports show that nothing in
the way of public moneys have been received
by him since the March term of the Superior
Court.
The Clerk of the Super! >r Court also reports
that nothing has been received by him in regard
to public moneys since the March term.
In conclusion we would beg His Honot, Judge
Pottle, to accept our thanks for the courtesy he
has extended to us, and especially for the ex
plicit and judicious manner in which he deliv
ered his charge to our body.
To the Solicitor General, Samuel Lumpkin,
Esq., we return our thanks for the attentive and
intelli ent consideration he has given us in all
matters pertaining to our body.
It is ordered that the foregoing Presentments
be entered on the Minutes of the Court, and also

A Scene in a Church. — There was a ludi
crously sudden descent from the sublime to the
ridiculous in a country church, not a thousand
miles off, when a clergyman, preaching on the
miseries entailed by sin, suddenly exclaimed,
‘•Thank God, I am not a sufferer; my miseries
have all been healed, and what did it ?” The
change of tone started one of the deacons from
drowsy mood, and springing to his feet he yied
out, “Tutt’s Liver Pills.” The deacon was right
.in his estimation of this celebrated medicine.
They will certainly cure your “miseries” if they
result from Dyspepsia, Torpid Liver, Chills,
Headache, Loss of Appetite, Nervousness, Des
pondency or General Debility. Take the dea

Stinchcomb Singing School.
It was to onr ineffable delight and
pleasure that we visited the music school
last week, taught by Mr. Vickery The
music was majestically, melodiously,
harmoniously, symphonionsly and eu
phoniously grand. Some pieces, viz:
“Shields.” “Amboy,” “Soft Music,’ 5 &c,
were very excellent, and were very grace
! fully and skillfully performed Any
I person who will attend Mr. Vickery's
school, and hear the deep rich notes of
! the organ, blended with forty well
trained human voices, cannot but be in
our opinion, religiosly impressed. Again,
we have visited many singing schools ;
but never did we see such decorum and
, such good order before. There seemed
to be no distinction on account of station;
no word or deed to express dissatisfac
tion ; ancl no one seemed oppressed or
depressed . It seemed as a lively band
of Christian brothers and sisters trying
to solace each other with heavenly
music, while traveling this dark, gloomy,
howling wilderness. How relactantly
did they take leave of each other on the
last day of thi school! Many were the
tears shed when they parted. Old men
were there, whose race is nearly run.
Strong men, in the prime of life were
there. Beautiful young ladies whose
cheeks were flushed with rosy modesty
and beauty w<.re there. Youths, who
are the hope of our country were there.
Little infants, bless their little souls,
who have just began to tread the thorny
and rough paths of life, were there,
Methodists and Baptists were there, and
all felt that the Lord is the Maker of all.
‘ How good, and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity!”
Never will that nice little congregation
enjoy themselves better, till they are
removed from earth, and sing with the
j angels above. We hope, and we think,
that good impressions were engendered
;at that school, and eternity above can
estimate the good that was done, and
: the future results. We hope that the
; same Christian ‘gentleman will teach an
other school or two near by this year.

VEGETINE
Strike at the root of disease by purifying the
blood, restoring the liverand kidneys to healthy
action, invigorating the.nerveus svsten.
VEGETINE
It not a Vile, nauseous compound, which simply
purges the bowels, but a safe, p.easant remedy
which is sure to purify the blood and thereby
restore the health.
VEGETINE
Is now prescribed in cases ot Scrofula and other
diseases of the blocd, by many of the best phy
sicians, owing to its great success in curing all
diseases of this nature.
VEGETINE
Does not deceive invalids into false hopes by
purging and errating a fictitious appetite, but
assists Dature in clearing and purifying the whole
system, leading the patient gradually to perfect
health.
VEGETINE
Was looked upon as an experiment for some time
by some of our best physicians, but those most
iucredulous in regard to its merits are now its
most ardent friends and supporters.
VEGETINE
Instead of being a puffed-up medicine lias
worked i.s way up to its present astonishing
success by actual merit in curing all diseases of
the blood, of whatever nature.
VEGETINE
Says a Boston physician, “has no equal as a
blood purifier. Hearing of its many wonderful
cures, after aH other remedies had failed, I vis
ited the laboratory and convinced myself of its
genuine merit. It is prepared from herbs, each
of which is highly effective, and they are com
pounded in such a manner as to produce aston
ishing results.”
VEGETINE
Is acknowledged and recommended by physi
cians and apothecaries to be the best purifier and
cleanser of the- blood yet discovered, vnd thou
sands speak in its praise who have been restored
to health.
