A New Aar.—A new method of ornamenting
has recently been introduced to the public called
“Decalcomanic,” or Transfer Pictures. It con
sists of instantly transferring pictures which
have been printed on paper in colors, to any ar
ticle one may wish to ornament. A large class
of the designs, such as Flower and Fruit pieces,
Autum Leaves, Moss Rose-buds, Ferns, Vines
Antique Heads, Cupids, Emblems, Medallions,
Landscapes, Animal Scenes, &c., are particularly
sought after by ladies for ornamenting furniture,
work-boxes, vases, lamp shades, flower pots, and
articles of china, glass, wood, silk, ivory, marble,
plated ware, tinware, leather, Ac.
The pictures are designed by the most, skillful
European artists, and are printed on prepared
paper in many colors and various designs; they
may be instantly transferred to any article, so ns
to imitate the most beautiful painting. Tte
directions for transferring are very plain, and the
art is easily acquired, so that one may become
an expert, even after & few yours practice.
By this process the cheapest articles are fre
quently ornamented with bits of landscape or
floral decoration that could not be painted by
band without increasing the value ot the article.
The manufacturers of these pictures, Messrs, j.
L. Patten & Cos., 162 William Street, New York
will send, post-paid, a book of 24 pages, giving
full instructions in this delightful art, complete
catalogue, and ten specimen pictures on receipt
of ten cen's. [may 17-tf.

The Public School System.
Hon. G. J. Orr, State School Com
missioner, addressed the people of El
bert, Thursday last, in the courthouse,
on the public school question. The
speaker very earnestly endeavored fo
impress on his hearers the advantage of
public schools and the importance not
only of maintaining them, but of advan
cing them beyond their present inade
quate condition. He advocates the pas
sage of an act by the Legislature per
mitting two thirds of the property own
ers to impose a tax for school purposes,
and also suggests a change in the Con
stitution raising the poll tax from one
dollar, as it now is, to three dollars, to
be applied to the public school fund.
Whether the suggestions made by
Prof. Orr be wise or unwise—and of
which we are not prepared to give an
opinion—we could not be favorably im
pressed with his earnestness in the cause
he advocates. The cause of education
is entitled to the calm consideration of
every citizeu, and the means ot placing
facilities for education within the reach
of every class is worthy of the reflection
of our wisest and best men.

The Superior Court
Was in session last week until nearly
midnight Saturday night, and though
the business of the court progressed
steadily from Monday morning to the
lioui of adjournment, a very small pro
portion of the business, comparatively,
was disposed of, leaving many civil suits
and a number of State cases on the
dockets.'
The Grand Jury got through its busi
ness and adjourned on Friday, finding,
we are told, about a dozen true bills
The case of The State vs. John Braw
ner occupied the court the two last days
of the session, resulting in a verdict of
guilty. A motion was made for anew
trial by defendant’s attorneys, which
will be heard by the court in due course
of time. The prisoner was sentenced
by the court to six years in the peniten
tiary at hard labor.

Further Improvements.
Mr. John D. James is making prepar
ations to construct, on the old hotel
corner, of the public square, a large two
story edifice, about 50x52 feet, to con
tain two stores in the lower story and
offices above.
Capt James J. Burch is about to im
prove his place below Elberton by the
construction of a dwelling-house. The
Captain will not allow the political ex

business.
There are many other improvements
in contemplation in Elberton, but of
which it would be premature to speak
now.
Our Schools.
The Elberton schools are usually not
very largely attended in the fall, but we
are pleased to note a larger attendance
than common at the present term.
The Male Academy has as large num
ber of pupils as we have known in sev
eral years, and everybody seems pleased
with the conduct of the school under
the able management of Col. Davant.
The Femable Academy, under that
efficient instructress, Mrs. Capers, is pro
gressing finely, and will likely reach the
promised fifty pupils.
The New Methodist Church.
This new edifice is rapidly approach
ing completion, and when finished will
be the handsomest and most attractne
place of public worship in the county.
The ceiling overhead is nearly complet,
ed, the plastering is briskly progressing,
also the painting, and the steeple only
is retarded for the lack of lumber.
The contractors, Messrs. Norton, say
the entire work will be finished in about
two weeks.
The Centennial.
The Centennial fever is seriously rag
ing in these parts, and may be consider
ed epidemic. We understand Mr. H. K.
Gairdner has determined to visit this
huge show, and there are quite a num
ber about Elberton who are trying to
hustle up loose change enough to take
the trip.

Th) citizens of Elbert county, accord
itg to adjournment from September sth,
1t?76. met in the courthouse, September
ISLi.f 1876. Emory P. Edwards, Esq.,
in the chair, and John P. Shannon, John
T. McCarty and Thomas A. Chauder,
Secretaries, present.
The Chairman having announced the
meeting ready for business. Mr. McCar
ty offered the following resolutions, to
wit:
Whereas, unfortunate differences have
arisen to the ranks of the Democratic
party, resnl ting in tbe candidacy of 4hree
wortlty citizens for the lower bouse of
the General Assembly, thus endangering
the success of the party which has id the
past been maintained only by unity of
action : therefore be it
BusoffVED, That the question of can
didacy be submitted to the delegates
which composed the convention of July
22, 1876, and that in furtherance of this
objkA. the Chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee of Elbert county
be and he is hereby authorised and in
structed to assemble tbe delegates which
composed that convention immediately
after the adjournment of this mass meet
ing.
Resolved, farther, That any vacancies
existing in the delegations from the sev
eral militia districts may be filled by
such means as that convention may pre
scribe; and that where no delegation
from a militia district may appear, that
the citizens present from such militia
district be called upon to suggest and
aujthorise suitable persons to represent
such district in the convention.
Resolved, further, That full power be
given said convention to provide such a
candidate from among the citizens of
the county as will in the judgment of
that body produce harmony and concord
in the party, and which will still retain
for our noble old county the grand re
putation which she lias heretofore proud
ly worn as the banner county of Democ
racy.
Mr. Mattox proposed as an amend
ment, that the convention not be called
together until one week after the adjourn
ment of this meeting, and that if any
delegate do not attend, he be allowed
and instructed to select his alternate.
Mr. Adams opposed the resolution and
amendment, and advocated a ballot.
Mr. Allen offered the following as a
substitute for Mr. McCarty’s resolutions,
to-wit:
Whereas, The two parties, Democratic
and Radical, nearly equally divide the
voters of this county, and three candi
dates of the Democratic party are now
seeking the suffrages of the people, caus
ing widespread discontent and fearful
conviction in the public mind, that such
a course if allowed to go on will serious
ly endanger our success in the coming
elections ; therefore be it
Resolved! Ist, That we invite all the
’ candidiftes to come down and take the
chances of nomination with all others
whose names may be presented before
this convention to day.
Resolved, 2d, That it is a source of
profound regret that we feel driven to
such alternative, but circumstances en
force the imperious necessity,and we are
confident the result will prove the wis
dom of the act and the plea of our justi
fication.
Resolved, 3d, That we proceed at
once to vote, and the gentleman obtain
ing a majority of ail the votes cast, shall
be declared the candidate, and we hereby
pledge him our support and co-operation.
Resolved, 4tb, That it is the sense of
this convention that every sound Demo
crat or patriot who has the good of his
country and party at heart will bury Lis
prejudices, exterminate all animosity,
subdue all selfish ambition, and will
throw himself squarely into the struggle
for the success and supremacy of our
party in the approaching elections.
We feel confident that such a course
of conduct will lesson his regrets, give
peace to his conscience, tranquility and
energy to his party, and in the final re
suit a widespread prosperity open to
all.
Mr. Mattox opposed Mr. Allen’s sub
stitute.
The previous question was called for
but the call withdrawn.
Dr. Clark favored a nomination to-day.
Mr. Carter called for Capt. Burch, who
responded saying that ho had not put
himself forward, and if a majority of the
people did not want him to make the
race he would not do so, and the reason
he did not come down before was because
tie did not put himself forward, and to
have done so would have established a
precedent that would lead to ruin.
Mr. Starke stated that tbe people
were not far apart, and besought the
people to harmonize.
Mr. Mattox withdrew his amendment
to Mr. McCarty’s resolution.
Mr. Allen struck cut tbe word “ballot”
in bis resolution and substituted the
word vote.
The question was then put upon the
adoption of Mr. Allen’s substitute, which
was adopted.
Mr. Mattox offered the following :
Resolved, That it is the true intent
and meaning of the resolution just
adopted, that we have three managers of
election whose duty it shall be to open
tbe polls in the Superior Clerk’s office,
and kept open according to the laws of
election in the State, and to be kept
open the remainder of this day and to
morrow, and the result be ascertained
by counting as in all other eleclims un
der the laws of this State.
Mr. Starke proposed as amendment to
Mr. Mattox’s resolution, that no one be
permitted to vote except he be known as
a true and tried Democrat.
Adopted unanimously.
Managers appointed by the chair,
Messrs. Starke, Mattox and Goss.
Mr. Goss announced the names of
Messrs. Burch, Tate and Turner as can
didates.
Adjourned to Friday 10 o’clock.

The Senatorial Convention Last Saturday.
Pursuant to a previous call the three
counties composing the Thirtieth Sena
torial District—Elbert, Oglethorpe and
Madison—met again in convention at
the Glade, last Saturday for the pur
pose of nominating a Senator, they hav
ing failed in their previous deliberations
to settle ou a nominee.
The meeting was organized by tbe
election of Col. James M. Carter, of El
bert, Chairman, and a gentleman from
Madison whose name does not just now
occur to us, Secretary.
After the usual preliminaiies custom
ary in such meetings, tbe business
that called the convention was entered
into.
Capt. J. S. Barnett, Elbert, moved
that the delegation present from each
county be empowered to cast tbe whole
vote of their delegation should any be
absent.
Pending this motion, Mr. Hurt, Ogle
thorpe, offered a substitute the sense of
which was, that as it had been the cus
tom of all similar conventions, and the
Democratic usage to base tbe vote of
representation upon the representation
in the lower house of the General As
sembly, he would insist upon this basis.
By that custom his county would be en
titled to four votes, as she had two Rep
resentatives in the Legislature, Elbert
two, and Madison two. He spoke at
some length, saying that his delegation
was instructed to vote for this basis, and
that they were duo it.
The vote or the substitute was taken
and lost by a vote of about 20 to 9.
Captain Barnett’s motion was then
put to the convention, and carried.
The Oglethorpe delegation then with
drew from the convention.
On motion Elbert and Madison enter
ed into a nomination of Senator for the
30th.
It was moved that the two thirds rule
be adopted, which was unanimously car
ried.
Moved and adopted that the nomina
tion be by ballot.
Three managers from the convention
were appointed by the_cliair_ to conduct
the election.
The names of R. H. Bulloch, and W.
H. Scott, both of Madison, were propos
ed for nomination.
On the first ballot the vote stood Bul
loch, 17; Scott, 2; Eberhart, 1.
Mr. Bulloch was declared the nomi
nee.
Mr. J. B. Eberhart, of Madison, then
moved that the nomination be made
unanimous, which wa6 carried, and the
nominee received the unanimous vote of
the convention.
The meeting then adjourned having
been in session about two hours.
In next week’s Gazette we expect to
publish the official proceedings, the
above being taken from our memoran
dum, as we had the good luck to happen
at the convention when in session.
Three Okeers for the Old Palmetto State.
The ratification meeting at Abbeville
Courthouse last Friday night and Sat
urday, is said to have been one of the
most enthusiastic assemblages ever
gathered together in South Carolina.
The torch light procession Friday night
was participated in by thousands of Car
olina’s noblest offspring, permeated and
enthused with sentiments of delight at
the prospect of again reinstating herself
under the folds of a Democratic banner,
of raising her down trodden head from
under the foot of despotic Radical rule
—of her once prosperous land teeming
again with plenty, and pence and hai mo
ny again reigning supreme within her
borders.
Saturday was the day when all Abbe
ville was alive with the grand demon
strations of the people for success of the
Democratic party. Gefi. Toombs, in
one of his happiest and most masterly ef
forts held the great multitude spell
bound with his voluminous flow of elo
quence and sage-like advice. Many oth
er great statesmen addressed the people
on the prevailing topic of the day.
Out of the depths with victory and
triumph may the old State come, and
witb Hampton at the wheel all will be
well. Three cheers for the old Palmet
to State.

In onr western- comities, not long
since, a man was tried and found-guilty
of stealing a pig. In writing out tho
verdict tho foreman wrote, “We fine tho
prisner knot guilty.” One of the jury,
who had seen the inside of a school-house,
wanted some slight change made in tbo
spelling of the verdict, but tho foreman
whispered: “I know that spelling is
sorter shaky, but yon have to pander to
Sheriff and the Judge and the District
Clerk, for that’s the way they are all
spell. If I was to spell a verdict right,
and they were to find it out, the whole
jury would be indicted next term of tho
court, and wo wouldn’t even get our
jury fee for this day’s work. You see
they have got the drop on us. Let i!
not exasperate them as long as they are
in power.”
The Herald says the result of tho
Main election is not significant in’either
direction. Had the majority risen
above fifteen thousand, the Republicans
would have had some reason for crowing,
but it is lees than in 1872 which is on
ly fair comparison. Tbe Post says tho
promised great Republican majorities
have failed to show themselves, and that
by order of tho Republican managers,
tho returns (sent out are placed in com
parison with past yeais'vote.
