THE IMOX & RECORDER. [Old “ Southern Recorder" and “Federal Union” conso.idated ] Cornci oj Hancock and Wilkinson Streets.j Wednesday Morning, September 11.15172. FOR. PRESIDENT : HORACE GREELEY, OF NEW YORK. FOR. VICE PRESIDENT: B. GRATZ BROWN, OF MISSOURI. For Governor : IION. JAMES M. SMITH. FOR STATE SENATE (20TH DISTRICT:) Col. JOHN N. GILDICRE, .Of Washington County., FOR SECRETARY Of STATE, [Subject to a Democratic nomination,] ft. C. B 4 R NETT, Former Sect etary of State. Campaign Faper.—We only charge FIFTY CENTS for our paper during the CAMPAIGN. Every voter ought to have it. Look to the Next Legislature! We fear the people ot Georgia do not realize the importance of electing honest men to the next Legislature.— Clews & Co., and all of the holders ot Bullock’s and Kimball’s fraudulent bonds, will beseige the next Legisla ture and will use such applia' ces that none but honest men can or will re sist. Their claims amount to many millions and they can afford to use several hundred thousand dollars in gaining over a majority of the Legis lature to their views. This will be practiced year after j’Ptir until the} succeed, and the only safety of the ■ State against these claims will be to have a clause put in the Constitution forbidding any Legislature from ever paying them. There are several oth er changes in the Constitution which it would be well to have made, but this is imperative. Let the next Legis lature call a convention of the people and provide in that way against the payment of these Bonds. School Act.—The special Act in relation to common schools, appliea hie to Baldwin county and 4S others, will be found in our issue of to day — It lias not yet been published official ly ; and we are indebted to our fellow citizen, Col. W. G. McAdoo, for copy ing the Act on tile in the office of the Secretary of State, for our paper.— An interesting Atlanta Letter from bis pen will be found in to-day’s paper. The Louisville Bolters’ Convention A ijourned. The discontented men who call themselves Jeffersonian Democrats, under the Lad of Blanton Duncan, met in Convention in Louisville, nom inated Charles O’Connor for President and John Q. Adams for Vice President. Mr. O’Connor telegraphed to them before they nominated, that he would not accept the nomination, and alter the nomination he again telegraphed relusing to accept. Mr. Adams ac cepted the nomination of Vice Presi dent on condition that O Connor ac cepted the first place on the ticket, but not without. They have adjourn ed sine die, without any candidates During the Convention very bad sto ries were current concerning fifty thousand dollars that had been placed in the bank to Blanton Duncan’s cred- For tlie Ui.i.iD Sc Recorder. Land-Scrip College. Editors :—On August Kith last the Georgia Senate by a vote of IS to 12—say two-thirds, passed Mr Wellborn’s bill taking away the whob Land-Scrip Trust Fund, $243,00U trom the old classical college at Ath eus ; and on August 24th the Housi of Representatives passed the saim bill, amended so as to provide for a col - lege at Milledgeville,'by an overwhel ming, excited, vote of S3 to 34 ; ovet two-tbirds, say 8 to 3, or 8-11 ma jority, and sent the bill back to the Senate where its friends were 18 to 12, to concur in the Milledgeville a mendment. Being the lust night ol the session the Senate, for secret rea sons, which friends will not differ about now, did not take up the bill; and thus it goes over to the next Le gislature. But the great tiuth is proved, and no longer disputable, that over tivo thirds of the people ot Geor gia ; 811 or 8 to 3 are opposed to mixing the new Agricultural and Me chanical College with the old classical University at Athens ; and are deter mined to establish Agricultural Col leges at Milledgeville and Dahlonega. Yet knowing these votes of the Sen ate, 18 to 12, and of the House S3 to 34, the Atlanta Constitution of the 6th mst., is so ungraceful as to try to hide the truth, by saying “that the Legis lature adjourned before any action w r as taken in the matter.” Atlanta newspapers and Atlanta legislators, like Col. Hoge and Senator Hillver, see in everything the ghost of Milledgeville am) vote against us But the Atlanta Constitution might as well face the truth, and gracefully admit it, and bow to the people ; for .-ight-elevenths of the people ot Geor gia are earnest on this subject and mean to be sovereign.

Brown House, Macon, Ga., > .September 6, 1872. $ We reached Atlauta at dawn on the morning ol yesterday, after a night journey over the Macon & Western R. R. By the auroral light of coming day, Judge Bonner, of Baldwin coun ty (my traveling companion for the nonce) and I walked up Feachtree street to its junction with Broad, and gaining entrance into tfie excellent boarding house of Mrs. Keith, we were soon wafted off into what the poet Thomson styles “the dreamy land of drowsy head.” Awaking to breakfast at a “fashionable” hour, we were ready to explore Atlanta. We “explored ;” not all of Georgia’s vast Capital City, any mure than Capt. Cook explored all of the world : still an exploration it was. Our first trip was one ol business to the ac coinplished and eloquent L>r. A. L. Hamilton, the custodian of the Fublie Archives in the Capital. Patient and and indefatigable in his labors, he is going rapidly through the Herculean job of putting in order the official cor respondence and other documents per taining to the Executive Department of the Government. These docu ments had felt the disorganizing toucl of Gen. Sherman’s followers in 1S64. There we had the pleasure of seeing the original letter of acceptance written by General LaFayette in response to the invitation Georgia save to him in 1825 to visit Milledge ville. It was written by LaFayette’s own hand, in good English, yet in the cramped and peculiar chirography usually characteristic of French fin gers. There were documents signed l>y ttie immortal Washington, Jeffer son and many other great names— great beacon-lighis of Hislory. The fingers aie dust; but these slight ink marks survive. Whilst in the Capitol we had the pleasure of meeting fora few moments His Excellency Gov. Smith. With a vigorous physical organization compe tent to endure the fatigues to which the Executive office necessarily sub jectshim; with a clear, sound, prac tical judgment growing out of an un common amount of that most uncom- t by some ot General Grant’s friends, won and best species of intellect mis We have no doubt that many engaged in the movement from patriotic mo tives, hut it seems very probable that some of the leaders were operating for ailed '•‘•common sense;” and with an incorruptible integrity worthy of the great days of the Roman and of the American Republics, Gov.

Let it be known in all the future as the Working Legislature of Georgia. We found in the pamphlet Acts two laws on the subject of Public Schools, but inasmuch as Baldwin county, am> 18 others, were included in a special Act which was not to be found in this pamphlet, we obtained access to the original in the office ot the Secretary of State, copied it, and we send it to you herewith for publication. It will doubtless interest the citizens of Bald win and the other 43 counties. This Act has less complexity than the gen eral law, and may work well. We have not had leisure to serwtanize it, and compare it with the general law as yet. The Georgia Press Association was in Convention in Atlanta on yesterday and to-day. A leading topic of dis cussion was the recently imposed burdens put on the Press by taxation. We trust the remonstrances of the As sociation may be heeded at the next session of the Legislature, believing that tfie dissemination of intelligence among the people should be taxed as little as possible. With a common school system dispensing free educa tion to the masses, and cheap newspa pers emanating from an untaxed press, our future, now so dark in some of its aspects, will not fail to he proud and glorious. As we were leaving Atlanta, we became aware through the columns of an afternoon newspa per, that we had been tendered a com plimentary seat by the Press Associa tion on the floor with their body. We beg to express in this manner our thanks for the compliment, and our regret that we did not know of the invitation in time to have availed out sell of it. We found Atlanta as stirring and active as usual. Save in tlie precincts of the Capitol, or “Opera House” as our friend Mr. Boughton persists in styling it, and at the Kimball House, scarcely any diminution of the human throng was observable by reason of ttie adjournment of the Legislature The rush of eager candidates for mon etary success was unabated, whose swift feet seemed bent on pursuit g gold to the fiery edge of that lake that burneth with fire and brimstone. Speaking of fire reminds us that this morning before day—at 2 and 4 o’clock respectively—fires occurred within our iiearing and sight in the city. We should have thrown on our habiliments and visited the nearest one; but we feared a disappointment, remembering the story de Quincey tells of a fire in London so near to a dinner at Coler idge’s that some of the guests quitted the tabie to see it. Meeting one ol them in a few days, de Quincey in quired about the fire, and the disap pointed guest responded with just indignation at the sorry fire that it was a complete failure, having been small and speedily extinguished'! We feared this Atlanta fire would not prove to be a show worth sacrificing a sound sleep to see. We left Atlanta this afternoon at 4. A Masonic procession bore a coffin sol emnly to the Macon it Western train; some of the fraternity came aboard ; and at a station about 20 miles from Atlanta, the weeping friends and fami ly of the deceased gentleman received the remains of the loved and lost. The voice of lamentation smote solemnly on the ears ot the passengers as they sped away on the wings of steam. Soon afterward. I observed near me singular contortions on the face of an old gentleman w r ith fine features.— His “eye with fine frenzy rolling,” disclosed insanity ; and we observed that persons had him in charge, and handcuffs fettered his wrists. The paroxysm, the wild songs, the maniac al howls and laughter in alternation, all died away, and lie dozed on his seat as we reached Bt-rnesville. Immedi ately a crowd of colored people sur rounded the train, and many came through with lamps searching for a lugitive. Near the station, as the train had driven up a few moments before, a negro woman becoming en raged at a negro giri, had laid her dead at a single blow, cleaving her skull with a bar of iron! The murderess had fled towards the train. Every nook of the train was seaiched, and a complete cordon of colored avengers were stationed around the train to seize the murderess if she should en deavor to escape when the train should move off. At last the whistle blew, and slowly we moved away.— Amid the moving lights, the quick tramp, the shouts and the confusion, we could not ascertain if the felon had been arrested or not. Thus in the brief journey from Atlanta to Bartles ville had we been brought face to face with Death, Madness and Murder! What a strange tragedy is life ! Here, at the good Brown House, we ex claim “Alabama /” It is a good place to rest. W. G. M. of ail persons who have not paid theii taxes for that year, in accordance with paragraph 7 section 937, Irwin’s Code, all persons who have not pai<i all taxes which may have been re quired of them, a:i which they have had an opportunity of paying, agreea ble to law tor the year next preceed- ing the election cannot, under the Constitution be allowed to vote. The payment of the tax for the year 1871 entiiles citizens to vote inti: elected by the full Democratic major ity in the State—say about 50,000 votes; and the probability is that he will run over his party strength in many localities. We were glad to assure our friends in Atlanta that no disaffection existed in our county ; and while some persons had felt disap pointed at the Governor’s action in re gard to the Agricultural and Mechan ical College, yet no one doubted the conscientiousness with which he acted, and no support would he withheld on that ground. We found the public elections of the present year, and you j Arts of the late session already pub- will receive the tax f -r that year and receipt accordingly although the tax payer may be in arreais lor former years. In case of default in the pay ment of poll tax for 1871, you will col lect one dollar as poll tax and one dol lar as penalty tor failure to comply with the law. Respectlully. Madison Bell, Comptroller General* lislied in pamphlet form, having been compiled by Capt. W. T. Newman, Atlanta’s City Attorney, formerly of Knoxville, 'Tennessee. The distribu tion of these pamphlets to the public officers throughout the State is now in progress. When one sees the number and importance of these enactments, and considers the vast amount of local legislation wmich was effected, and the Washington, Sept. 6.—There is a good deal of amusement in conserva tive circles at the result of the Louis ville Convention, while the Reform party are allowed to laugh also. The Grant leaders who bolstered up the silly and preposterous business, and invested large sums of money in it as a possible good card to play against Greeley, are very sorelieaded at the unqualified fizzle Duncan & Co. made of it. The idea of a Convention that could present but one man for its suf frage. amt were obliged to insist upon taking him after lie had refused in most pointed language to run, illus trate tiow stupid the Grant party was to have had anything to do with it. As it is, they get credit for having en gaged underhanded in the thinnest piece of electioneering clap trap ever recorded. It is announced that Grant may possibly visit Washington next Tues day.

Milwaukee, August25, 1872. This most perfectly German of all American cities having nearly half as many Germans as Americans in it, and which is, also, by coincidence, the city when such superb lager beer is brew-c that they export i in ca-ks lo Europe, is one ot the best points to derive some knowledge ol the progies* ot the political cam paign in ttie State lucre is a very serious defee 1 ion ot abolition re publicans here and a general defection of the German voters. The local German vote has always been sev- emy-tive per cent democra'ic, and lienee the Sundays in-Milwaukee aid through the State aie glimpses ol the German’s paradise The hand trf Neal Dow and the Mane law is paralyzed over these borders; strong lager flows, the b. eweries, standing in the midst of a fl .wery hop country, are at work day and night bml ing and malting, aud m ne dare molest or make the votary of Gambrinus alraid. Nine out of ten ot these Germans who are not detr ocrats aie generally admitted to be for Greeley, and also the whole seventy five per cent of Genoa democrats. Greeley's picture is in all the lager beet sal on-s and be has two-thirds of the influential circu lation oftbenew-Hpaper press. In 1867 tire republican majority (Grant) in Wiscon •in was about twenty four thousand; but in 1871, un der the giadnal retrocession of the Germans and t e slow disintegration ot the ruling party, tile majority lor the republican Governor was only about ten thou sand. The natural republican majority in staid aim undivided times is about tiiteen thousand. The liber ala are c i.fident of beat me this, and claim that Gree ley wt 1 have ten tl.otisaud majority in the Stale. Not only is the German detection general, but there is a universal defection of primary abolitionists, ot whom Wyman Spooner,of Elkhmu, forty miles trom Milwaukee, is an ex tmple. This old gentleman, aged about seventy, was for sixteen years Lieutenant Gov ernor, Circuit Judge, &c , aud was the pet and pride of the freesnil and republican parties. He voluntarily gave up office durti g the war and retired with the respet t and admitatiuii o! every citiz-u. Being in poor he ilth lie sueiit last Winter at Carbondale III . near Governor Palmer, of that Sate, and there befell to comparing notes aud watchiog the turn of events Spooner was uo s rehead, but he alleged that lie had discovered in ttie progress of things a siuister devel opment of corruption and evil government. He dissent mated those convictions on his return, and is now upon the Greeley electoral ticket A defection ftoin Grant of nearly equal conse quence is that of O- M. Tvler, chairman lor ten yeart of the Republican State Committee He is a bauker —no sorehead in any Bense-and a man of largo pee sessions and the fullest responsibility. Mr Tyler say.- tliat without change of administration the prosperity of the country will prove to be fictitious within two years, aud the monopolists of the period will consume the subs'ance of the pe> pie and assume the govern ment by purchasing the uomiuaiit party.

A great ileal of prominence lias been* given to Blanton Duncan s Louisville Convention. In our judgment much more thau it is entitl' d to, or deserves It is not surprising that the Administration organs tike every me tsron ot increasing and exaggerating its importance. However denied, tne movement real- ly means the division, tf possible, of the Democracy, anti the re-election of General Grant. There can be no other conclusion It cannot of course succeed. This is acknowledged. In fact, this is so patent,that any al tempt to at rest otherwise would only create a smile Tnere is not one of those engaged in what has been well designated as “Grant’s side show,” who has the remotest idea that any third ticket can have any other effect, than to strengthen tlie opponents of Reeoneili- a ion, ami Ref Tin Noiivket thus put forth ear have the a igluest prospect of success, so lar a- its nominees a'e concerned Nor is this expected. It is in reality whatever may be protested, ai attempt to make a diversion from tile Democratic ranks, ami weaken the finc-i and action ofthe Baltimore Convention. The Grant party thus regard it, and take every oc casion to applaud its purposes to the echo, while pro fessing to disclaim any absolute connection with it. The Washington Chronicle, edited by Seuator Har bin, and the organ of Grant at the capital, openly avows:—‘ In the in erestof a fair field and a square stand-up contest, where there is no bush-whacking and no false bu- ting, we shall be glad to see Louisville give the coup de grace o Baitimor TheGraiit paitydid their best to prevent the unity ofthe liatimore aud Cincinoa'l Conventions. But the g. eat Democratic par y, by their legally constitu ted representatives in Convention assembled, rose to the height of Hie occasion, and with a unanimity al most unparral eled, determined that their true inter ests consisted in uniting with good citizen- of snv and all parties, in promoting the welfare of every section and of every class of people They therefore abstain ed from any direct nominations, acknowledged the dead is-ues of the past, and rising to t e living ques tions of ihe present, united with the Cincinnati move ment, in the only feasible mode of promoting t i.e cause nt peace and h.-tinn riy amongst all sections, and secur ing the permanent pro-perity ot the couutry The di eision of tnat Convention, is the portion of the Democatic party if the nation. It is evid-nl that either Grant or Greeley vri’l be the next Presi dent of the Cniteu States All opposition to iMr. Gree ley, the; .-lore, from whatever quar er, is the unequivo cal support of General Grant. This is so plain as to need no argument. This the Radical Committee at Washington perceive, and hence they are printing and distributing with lavish hands, rhe published cii- cu! rs of Mr. Blauton Duncan, and bis proposed Con vention. And this the Washington Chronicle is forced to ad mit It says: “The Committee are wilting all tin wo.Id-hall know what documents they are printing tnd (herniating. They have circulated liberally the published circulars of Duncan.just ns we circulate them through the columns of the Chronicle.” Here is a fact which speuks volt.rues. It is worth a thousand theories. It deinousti ates a coalition of in tere.-t if there is a difference in name, and of alleged in tent. l’he osti ich may lr.de his bead, but bis body is - tilt visible.

From the Louisville Convention we hare no fears however strung may be the hopes which it has excited in the breast-of General Grant aud his faction uf th Repub icau party. The country fully understands the movement, and has judged it accordingly. Bayard, Saulsbury. He drieks, Voorhees, and the distinguished leaders of the Democratic p irty. all per ceive tiie fallacy of Mr Blanton Duncan and his im prov'sed Convention. As Mr. Voorhees very truth fully anti forcibly puts it in Ins recent speech at Green field, Indiana: "1 have told yon that I have great tespect tor that class of Demoarats who found it neees -ary to reason themselves iuto thesupport of Mr.Gree ley 1 belong to that class myself, and have leached my position by a careful survey ot the field of duty, aud uot tr m impulse or mere personal inclination, have weighed the cilainities wliien will accrue to tin couutry hum Grant’s re-elec’ion against the ben-fit to be procured by the election of Greeley, and have taken my staud accordingly.

Loveliness on the Increase.—A marked in crease of female loveliness is the eye-delighting result of the immense popularity which Hagan’* Magnolia Bai.m has obtained among the laiies of America. Complexions ra liant with sit iwv pu rity and tinged with the roseate hue of health are commonly met with whenever it is u-td. For the sallow and unwholesome appearance of the face arid neck, which utterly counterbaU ic-s the effect of any personal attraction the own-r may pos sess, it substitutes that clear, pearl-like complex ion which is such a transcendent charm in wo man, and renders the rougln-st skin as suit as Ge noa velvet.

Mr. Clews is partly right. The business interests ot his house might suffer from the hostility of the new administra tion to such swindling and such swindlers. We have made no attenpt to show in this, or in pre vious articles, the general rascality of this Brunswick amt Albany Railroad busines-; how the road was so wietebealy built as Dot to befit for use; how Henry Clews was to have one fourth of what the contractors made; how the duty of certifying and indorsing the bonds, which, by lie act of I86!», was vested in the Treasurer, Mr. Angter, was taken from that officer, by the act of 18711, and transferred to Bullock, simply because the Treasurer was hours! and the Governor was not.
