THE COMPACT OF CMOS.
W e are hunting for the sovereignty of the
Statee, W* In other words, being told by the
Republicans that the States have no sov
ereignty, we are trying to find out when
andjtow they lost it. All acknowledged its
e ^®btice at the close of the old revolution
ary war. No one disputed its existence
under the Articles of confederation. We
have gone through thogfc trying periods,
the seven years war with the greatest pow
er upon the earth, finding the States recog
nized as sovereign nations at its close—
through the first great experiment in peace
ful government, and found them free, sov
ereign and independent states at the disso
lution of the articles of confederation. We
found them appealed to, as sovereigns, to
meet in convention to form a new consti
tution—that of 1787, under which we yet
live. Every patriot in the land is interes
ted to know, whether the States still pos
sess sovereign, or merely provincial pow
ers. They were tho political pioneers, with
the laurels of triumphant freedom encir
cling their brows—grand and glorious
powers—to teach the true doctrine of man’s
rightful liberation from the assumed divine
right of tyrants to hold them as subjects,
servile, inglorious and fettered at the foot
stool of their hateful power. On no spot of
the habitable globe outside the limits of
these sovereign States, could man point
proudly to the “Star of Liberty” and say.
There is the enchanting syn. bol of my per
fect freedom. At my home, however glit
tering or humble, it may be said I am a
sovereign as free as any king upon his
throne, but reverse the picture, strip his
state of its sovereign regalia—put it at the
mercy of a majority of States, who may
trample upon its rights, violate, at its will,
the most sacred covenants of the constitu
tion, and maintain it with the bayonet, and
how wili he feel then, and what will he
really be? He will feel that he is no longer
a freeman, but a subject not of a single
tyrant but a many-headed tyrant. The
tyranny of one is much more endurable
than the tyranny of the many. When a
man feels that he is debased into a subject,
that his state is merely a piovince, the
spirit of liberty weakens in his soul until at
last he yields passively to the acts and at
titudes of arbitrary power.
With these preliminary remarks we pro
ceed to the investigation of the question be
fore us. Was State sovereignty yielded by
the States in the adoption of the constitu
tion of 1787?
The convention, consisting of delegates,
or deputies, of all the States, met in Phil
adelphia in May 1787. The following reso
lutions were submitted to the convention.
1st. Resolved. That a union of the States,
merely Federal, will not accomplish the ob
jects proposed by Articles of confederation,
namely, common defence, security of liber
ty, and general welfare.
2nd. Resolved that no treaty, or treaties
among any of the States, as sovereign, will
accomplish or secure their common defence
liberty or welfare.
3rd. Resolved that a National Govern
ment ought to be established consisting of
a supreme Judicial, Legislative and Execu
tive.
The object, of the first two of the resolu
tions, was to destroy the Federative char
acter of the government (should a union be
established and to yield to it paramount sov
ereignty. They met with no favor what
ever, and were stricken out. One tiling will
be noted. While the object was to destroy
the sovereignty of the States it w ill be clear
ly seen that their sovereignty was recog
nized then, for it is stated in the second ics-
olution “that no treaty or treaties among
any of the States as sovereign will accoru
plish Ac.” This is an admission that a gov
ernment established between the sovereign
States would be a treaty.
The 3rd resolution was adopted; but tue
following after more mature reflection, was
substituted for it. “Resolved thatthe gov
ernment of the United States ought to con
sist of a supreme Legislative, Judiciary
and Executive.”
Some, who favor the idea that the new
constitution consolidated the States, lay
much stress upon the word “supreme.” Its
only meaning was to declare that the con
stitution, and the laws of the United States
which shall be made in pursuance thereof
shall be the supreme laws of the land, Arc.
Mark, the word “supreme” refers to the
Legislative, Judicial and Executive Depart
ments. All the powers of each of these de
partments were delegated powers, and in the
constitution are specifically defined and
limited. How absurd is the idea that a con
vention, so jealous of the public liberty,
should have adopted a resolution to have a
Supreme Executive'. In the constitution as
it was adopted, it simply declares; “the
congress shall have power” &e. The pow
ers granted to the President are found de
fined and limited in the 2nd article of the
constitution. The powers of the Judiciary
are defined and limited in the 3rd Article
of the constitution. The word supreme is
found but once, in the constitution, in the
2nd clause of Article VI, and, then, it is ex
pressly declared that no laws are to be su
preme unless made iu conformity to delegated
power.
Again, the consolidatiouists rely upon the
preamble to tho constitution which is in
these words: “We, the people of the Uni
ted States, in order to form a more perfect
union, establish justice, insure domestic
tranquility, provide for the common de
fence, promote the general welfare, and se
cure the blessings of liberty to ourselves
and our posterity, do ordain and establish
this constitution for the United States of
America.” The consolidatiouists, or cen
tralists, insist that tho words “we the peo
ple” mean, we the people in mass, the whole
body' of the people consolidated into one
great community, “do ordain” Ac. This
opinion fails to stand the test of scrutiny.
On the 7th of August, 1787, t he convention
unanimously adopted the following as the
Preamble to the constitution : “We the peo
ple of the States of New Hampshire, Massa
chusetts, Rhode Island and Providence
Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia, do ordain, declare and estab
lish the following constitution Ac.” What
then becomes of the solid mass referred to?
But perhaps the convention changed its
mind! No, it did not do that, but it chang
ed the Preamble and for a good reason. Tho
constitution had to be submitted to the
sovereign States for their ratification, or Re
jection. It was not known what States
would ratify it. It was to go into effect if
nine States or more, adopted it- Hence it
was changed to “wo the people of the Uni
ted States.,’’ toavoid the possibility'of hav
ing the name of some State, or States, in
serted who might decline to become a mem
ber or members, under the new constitu
tion. Here was a distinct recognition of
the sovereignty of each State, of it’s right to
become a member of the union or remain an
independent State or nation. Rhode Island
and North Carolina remained out for some
time and were recognized as sovereign
States.
No man then can cite the preamble to
sustain consolidation. There stands the
record, which shows that the convention
unanimously voted for including the name
of each State In the preamble, thus recog
nizing the doctrine of State sovereignty,
and they would have been placed there, and
found there this day, but for the reason
above given. But for that it would have
been “the people of each State.” This ex
hibited the animus ot the convention not by
a mere majority but by the vote of every
member. It is clear, then, that the Consti
tution was framed by the representatives
of States for States, for sovereign States—
and not for the consolidated mass of the
people of the States. A critical examiner
will look in vain to find a single paragraph
to show that the states yielded their cover,
eighty. The last clause, in the Constitu
tion, immediately preceding the signature
of General Washington, the President of
the Convention, and the signatures of the
Deputies from all the states represented, is
as follows;
•‘Done In convention by the unanimous
consent of the 6tatas present, the 17th day
of September In the year of our Lord one
thousand seven hundred and eighty seven,
and of the Independence of the United
States of America the 12th. In witness
whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our
names." Thus the independence of the
Statee was declared in the very act of clos
ing their work. The importance, dignity
aud sovereignty of the States, were pre
served, and tho Constitution, bygiving two
Senators to each State. Hence, Rhode Isl
and with several thousand Inhabitants,
lias two Senators, while New York with
several millions has only two. The 9M$tes
are represented in the House of Repmen-
tatives according to the number of their
inhabitants. If our government is awonsol-
idated Republic based upon the aggregate
population of the whole country, could any
thing be more absurd than to give Rhode
Island a power in the Senate equal to that
of New York, or to give tho New England
States six-times as much power in the sen
ate, as New York, when the population of
the later is greater than that of all of them
put together? But to crown the absurdity
of the doctrine of consolidation, and the
abrogation of state sovereignty, we quote
as follows from the constitution.
Article IX.—The enumeration in the
constitution of certain rights, shall not be
construed to deny or disparage others re
tained by the people.
Article X.—The powers not delegated
to the United States by the constitution,
nor prohibited to it, by the states, are re
served to the States respectively or to the
people.”
In those times this constitution was uni
versally called the “Federal Constitution."
General Washington, in his first message
under the new constitution, said: “He
hoped the senate would at all times, co-op
erate in every measure which may tend
to promote the wolfare of this “Confedera
ted Republic.” In all the machinery of the
government no word is so prominent as
“States.” What is a State? Writers on the
laws of nations define States to be “bodies
politic,” “commonwealths,” “Kingdoms”
“Republic.” What would Georgia, or New
York be, if this was one great Republic, bas
ed upon the aggregate population of the
country? Surely not a State, but a District
or Province. In not a single instance arc
the people referred to as a consolidated
community; neither in the Constitution,
or messages, or public writings or congres
sional speeches in either House. Mr. Mad
ison in his writings invariably declared the
Constitution to bea “FederalConstitution.”
He said: “The powers relating to war and
peace, armies and fleets, treaties and
finances with the other more considerable
powers, are all vested in tho existing Con
gress by the articles of Confederation. Tho
proposed change (in the new Constitution)
does not enlarge these powers, it only substi
tutes a more effectual mode of administer
ing them. “He denied that the Constitution,
of 1787, consol idated the people of the sep
arate States into one. He emphatically
said: “That the obvious tendency and in
evitable result of a consolidation of the
States into one sovereignty would bo to
transform the Republican system of the
United States into a monarchy is a point
which seems to have been sufficiently de
cided by the general sentiment of America.”
Such was the declaration of Mr. Madison
who has often been called the Father of the
Constitution. We have extended our re-
mai ks to so great a length on this branch
of the subject, that we deem it best to defer,
until next week a few other imposing facts
that will throw a calcium light upon it. It
lias already been demonstrated that the
sovereignty of the States was not surren
dered by the adoption of the Constitution
of 1787. But we wish to pile Pelion upon
Ossa, to crush the monster of consolida
tion, and to leave no possible pathway
through which its advocates may pass,
bearing upon t.heir shoulders the stolen
form of sovereignty—the treasure, the
wealth, the glory of the States without
which they become the broken pillars of
liberty, and we Americans are robbed of
the last hope of the perpetuity of freedom.
These robbers have succeeded in throwing
us into a dark chaos, yet, stilljare left some
gleams of light, which, we trust, will
spread until, again, the American mind
may be both illumed apd enraptured with
the inspired principles of '76.
SECRETARY SHERMAN OX NEW YORK.
It will be remembered that Mr. Cornell,
who is the Republican nominee for Govern
or <>t .New York, was dismissed from the
Custom House by Mr. Hayes. A reporter
for the New York Times said to Secretary
Sherman, “I desired to obtain your views
Mr. Secretary, for the readers of the Times,
o:i the New York nominations.” “'Well sir,
they are good nominations and of worthy
men.” “This has been pretty broadly ad
vertised as a defeat for the administration,
do you so regard it Mr. Sherman?’, “As to
that, the Administration took no part in
the light, so far as I know. Mr. Conkling’s
man was nominated, and in that sense per
haps, it may be called a triumph for Mr.
Conkling. Mr. Conkling does not like us,
but 1 guess we can stand it.”
“May tin's personal triumph of Mr.
Conkling’s against the administration be
regarded as against you?” “That is a sub
ject” smilingly observed the Secretary,
“upon which I do not desire to be inter
viewed. Personal relations between Mr.
Conkling and myself are delicate subjects
and tilings which I am not in the habit of
discussing. After all Mr. Conkling carried
the convention by but a bare majority.”—
“What significance has this nomination on
the Presidency question, Mr. Secretary.”
“None so far as I can see,” said he.
THE COMING MAN.
Many speculations are being published
on the subject of the nominees of tho par
ties for tiie next Presidential contest. Wo
have noticed some of the most prominent
ones but have failed to see, as yet, any
thing which plainly indicates anything ap
proaching certainty as to whom the stand
ard wifi be given among the Democrats or
the Republicans. It is a point to bo kept
open for future judgment. We must wait
to see how the elections will turn out in
Ohio, New York and other States likewise,
and we must ascertain something more
about the strength and determinations of
the Grcenbackers and from whicli of tho
two great parties the most of them have
seceded. Of course each party will select
the man who seems to have the greatest
strength. If Ohio goes for the Democrats
it will strengthen the chances of Mr. Thur
man. Mr. Hendricks is very popular in
tho west and his state is more certain to
go Democratic than Ohio. Ohio has 22
votes in the electoral college, Indiana 15.
The loss of Ohio woulcl operate to Mr. Hen
dricks’ advantage if Indiana,* stands firm
for the Democracy. But there is the great
(State of New York whose vote is 35. With
the undivided vote of the South and tho
35 votes of New York tiie Democrats would
lack only 12 votes of electing the President.
Henc-o if New York goes Democratic Mr.
Tilden would stand out more prominently
powerful than any uthor Democratic aspi
rant.
Grant will soon return to the United
States and we doubt not ills friends will do
every tiling in their power to bring him
forward for a third term. We incline to
the opinion that if he will consent to run
no Republican can beat him in the nomina
ting convention. It will take time and
new elections to enable us to judge of this
really very knotty question.
THE IMPEACHMENT AND INVESTIGATIONS
AT ATLANTA.
A friend asked us a few days since, why
we did not give our views upon these mat
ters In the Union and Recorder. We answer
ed that it was a very delicate subject to
touch, that it involved the characters of
gentlemen whom we had held in high esti
mation, and that, in the inchoate state of
the matter, apd the luck of facts to found an
opinion upon, we could pot undertake to
give one. It is in our nature to sympathize
with them in the unpleasant positions they
are placed in, and to hope for their own
sakes, and that of the Democracy, that thev
may pass safely through the fiery ordeal.
Hence we have reported the proceedings
and leave our readers, as they progress, to
form their owu conclusions. When the ar
gument is completed and the verdict is ren
dered, we must all bow respectfully to it as
we can but believe that the Senate will be
considerate and just in Its conclusions.
Should it be otherwise, we would not hesi
tate to dissent and defend the right. With
out- views, we prefer to await the end In si
lence.
The most inexcusable folly is to endure
Dyspepsia with all its miseries, when a M
cent %)Me of Dr. Bull’s Baltimore Pills
cure the malady.

GEORGIA HUMORISTS.
[t would scon that the so-called Georgia
it of this day, is but an indifferent
ilt*|P>n ot the bad spelling of Josh Bil-
lingaUDd tho senseless twaddle of Dame
Partington. In vain we look for a Long-
st*H0t, with his life pictures—a Charlton
with his polished pen-portraits—a John B.
Lamar, with his gushing home-spun yarns,
and an Oliver Prince, with his glorious
melange of men and manners, as developed
by his keen political scalpel. It has got
down, iu the main, to bad spclli ig, and the
public have to endure it just as it is served
out to them by “Old Si,” “Uncle Remus,”
and “Bill Arp,”—a monumental trio be
neath which are buried a good . leal of the
best parts of the above-named writers.
Maj. Jos. Jones is an exception—but it will
be borne in mind that his “Courtship” and
sketches of Pinevillo were penned over-
thirty years ago, and have not been im
proved by the recent touches of an advanc
ed art.
“Old Si,” is a very learned “nigger,” and
he tries very hard to conceal the keen
edge of an intelligent white man’s wit and
knowledge beneath a black skin aud a mass
of unintelligible gibberish.
“Uncle Remus,” comes a little nearer to
the genuine negro of slavery times, but
even he, except in his songs, lifts tho “old
nigger,” to a plane far above his ideas, iiis
sentiments and His language. The themes
of these two writers are chosen, generally,
from leading events in political, social, and
public life, which almost daily occur, and
which never penetrate the average negro’s
brain. And they must die like negro Min
strelsy, in the hands of white men, for want
of breath. The old negro of the Husli times
of Georgia may be still found, but not in
the wash-room, back-entrances, or about
the sanctums of such a paper as the Con
stitution.
There are genuine types of “Old Si,” and
“Uncle Remus,” on many an old planta
tion yet; but they are as ignorant of such
themes as their city imitators discuss, as an
Egyptian mummy of two thousand years
would be of the whereabouts of Stewart’s
remains or the body of Charlie Ross. I
mean no disrespect to Col. Sam. Small, and
wish him no personal or pecuniary discom
fiture, but his proposed book can only have
a wide sale at the North and West, where
the masses of the people are groping in
the deepest ignorance so fa.' as the true
character and conversation of the South
ern negro is concerned. There is no pen
that c-an put on paper the natural out
spoken tongue of the pure plantation negro.
As well attempt to put the pure fragrance
of the violet beneath tin! counterfeit pre
sentment of the artist as to put an old ne
gro’s peculiar expressions into type.
“Uncle Remus” is fashioning his say
ings after “Old Si,” instead of sticking to
the plantation manners of “Putmou” coun
ty. He should destroy tho pattern as
quick as possible or he will secure the
shadow, while tho substance fades.
“Bill Arp” conies up nearer to the stature
of a genuine humorist than any writer for
the Georgia Press. His descriptions of
“home” soenes, especially, are vivid and
lifelike, and please because the mirror is
held up to nature, and with due regard to
the circumstances and surroundings of a
Georgia family in an humble sphere. But
when he switches off from tho main line,
like many other trains of thought and
transportation, he comes to a dead halt.
The fact is a man can’t be funny all tho
time. Humor must be spontaneous, sug
gestive, side-shaking. It cannot breathe
through tiie lungs of labor, nor grow upon
the vapors of a dungeon. The great law
of Omnipotence which thunders through
the cycles—by the sweat of the brow, man
shall earn his bread—is more fatal to tho
tender germs of Humor, than is the “hell-
endangered pestilence of parental avarice”
to
“The sacred lows o’ weel-placed love.”

LAST SCENE AT THE DEATH BED.
The New Orleans Democrat gives a full
account of tiie death-bed scene ot tiie hero
ic Hood. We copy the concluding portion.
The General asked how long lie had to
live. Tiie Doctor replied he could not tell,
but it would be w-ll to make every prepar
ation; that with an old soldier like him tho
thought of death would not disturb him;
to which the General said: “No; you are
right about that; let Mr. Dow be sent
for.”
During the administration of the sacra
ment he folded his arms and seemed to fol
low the sei vice closely, no murmur or groan
escaping him.
Shortly after this, which was between 9
and lu o’clock, he sank rapidly and became
delirious, but not violently so. Once or
twice he attempted to raise himself iu tho
ImhI, but was easily controlled. Only once
did his mind seem to revert to those grand
old heroic days when his name was a rally
ing cry, and he battled with all the energy
of His great and fearless soul for his native
South. In a tone of command he exclaim
ed: “I want those stores-taken from my
own comrnisry.” Just before His death,
and while Gen. Ogden was holding his
hands, lie lifted himself up, threw his head
round and seemed to be gazing into the dis
tance with flashing eyes, in such an expres
sion as he must have worn when in the heat
of some desperate engagement he looked
back for his old brigade with which to lead
a forlorn hope and win victory from the
very jaws of defeat.
On tho second day lie called the doctor to
him anil said : “Doctor, if you liml you can
not win the light, let me go off easily.”
On the last day, after suffering greatly
with the burning sensation which’ general
ly precedes black vomit, hi* threw up twice
a little on a napkin lu-ld by the nurse, and
immediately feeling much relieved, he said,
with much satisfaction, “My doctors have
gained a great victory.”
On that day, when Gen. Ogden went in
to see him, he said, in answer to an inquiry
as to how he . felt: “God’s will he done
and not mine. What God does is right, Gen
eral.”
Sinking back exhausted lie resumed the
heavy breathing and moaning which indi

friend, Col. Sam’l Fowler, who from first to
last was with him and constantly watched,
at his bedside.
At twenty-five minutes before 4 o’clock,
on Saturday morning, the thirty-first of Au
gust, with a convulsive shudder, the soul
of the stricken hero left its grand, but shat
tered temple and the last struggle of the
illustrious soldier was ended.

One Prosperous British Industry
The herring fishery seems to bo as pros
perous on the east as on the wost coast of
Scotland, and for the first time during the
past seven years the old men and lioys of
the fishing villages are hard at work assist
ing in the sea-harvest.
Somebody says that large ears denote
broad, comprehensive views and modes of
thought. What magnificent ideas a jack
ass must have!
GIVE YOUR CHILDREN A GOOD
start in the world. Shriner’s Indian Ver
mifuge will destroy and expel the worms
that gnaw at their vitals and deprive them

The colored people of Dougherty county
are prospering.
Mr. H. L. Stuart, the giver of the Carpen
ter picture of Dr. Long is recovering.
The Atlanta Constitution is making an
able fight for the “Liver Pad” people.
Miss Wilkinson, burned on the 26th ult.
from a kerosene explosion in Augusta, died
on Monday.
Atlanta had two thousand merchaut vis
itors on Tuesday last, from South Carolina
and Northeast Ga. Listen for the horn.
The Autumnal Equinox is down in the
books for tiie 21st—“thar or tharabouts.”
Farmers who have much open cotton will
do well to bear this in mind.
The Quitman Free Press is indignant be
cause ‘the printing and circulars for the
North Georgia iAtlanta) fair are gotten up
by a radical printing office in Chicago.’
Mr. Walter B. Dense and Miss Mamie T.
Thornton were married in the First Street
Methodist Church, Macon, Ga., on AVednes-
day evening. Rev. Walker Lewis perform
ed the ceremony.
The Constitution is owned by AV. A.
Hemphill, Evan P. Howell and Nathaniel
P. T. Finch—one-third each. Aud it is
rated in value at $85,000, so M. E. T.
says.
“H. H. J.” on his recent trip from Alaeon
to Savannah says lie had the pleasure of
traveling part of the way with “Baldwin’s
famous Senator, who battled so nobly for
Milledgevillo in the capital campaign,” al
luding of course, to Hon. Parish Furman.
An old gentleman of Wilkes county says
that he noticed a heavy fog on the 4th of
August, and is satisfied from his observa
tions for the last quarter of a century, that
there will be a heavy frost two months
later which would bring it on the 4th of
October.
A distinguished Georgia Judge says that
there are two things that an old man
should look closely after. His health and
His money. For, says he, “to lose one of
them is bad enough, but to lose both you
had just as well he in Abraham’s bo
som.”
We regret to hear of tiie serious illness
of Dr. Lipscomb, the venerable ex-eliancol-
lor and head of the State University. He
visited the Sulphur Springs in North Geor
gia, and returned to Athens last week se
riously ill. So says the Chronicle.
The Macon street railroad lias been levi
ed on to satisfy a judgment in favor of
Mrs. Harriet Colquitt for $5:K), and is adver
tised for sale in October. The $50!) repre
sents the verdict of a jury in favor of Mrs.
Colquitt whose arm was broken in an acci
dent on the road.
Three or four drunken men on horseback
tried o take one end of Macon last Satur
day afternoon. After quite a chase the po
lice got up with tin- party, captured them
and locked them up in the barracks. Their
little pocket books will squeal when they
come to pay the cost or the frolic.
The Quitman Reporter speaks out plainly
about the negro exodus. If they want
to go, it says let ’em. “The nort hern -tatos
have all grown opulent since they have
got rid of the negro and the south can
do tho same. AVe raise too much cotton
anyhow; half the quantity would bring
three times as much money.”
One of Elbert county’s best farmers ties
year planted twenty acres in cotton and
watermelons—two rows in cotton and one
of melons. From Ills melon yield lie has
realized as much as lie would have from
three bales of fleecy staple. lie also ex
pects to make two-thirds of a crop or cot
ton on the land.
Mrs. Clayton, a well known character in
police circles, and recently an inmate of
tiie poor house, died on Sunday. She was
placed there several weeks ago, and had
had uo stimulants, at least such as she
wished. She sent word to the commission
ers if they did not give her whiskey or
morphine she would die. They did not send
either, and she died as stated above.—En
quirer, 9th.
We are informed by Chancellor Meil that
he has received quite a number of commu
nications from young men who have been
pursuing their education in other States.
These now propose to continue thier studies
at the University. This is as it should be. The
mother’s milk is tho most healthful for the
child; most certain to build up an affection
between them which nothing can destroy.
It is equally true that Georgia’s sons should
receive tho milk of knowledge from her;
that they should draw in with each addi
tion an intense love for her and her insti
tution. AVe will welcome these young men,
most heartily.—Athens Chronicle.
An Ex-Judge tells Mr. Jones of the Tele
graph that the troubles with officials at At
lanta, are greatly owing to “wretchedly low
salaries.” Better have said wretchedly fast
living. AA r hen the capital was at Milledge-
vilie, and when all household supplies were
a good deal higher than at present a State
House officer could live well within his
salary of $1800 and save a little money be
sides. lt is the place, the examples and t he
surroundings that bring these officials into
trouble. This paper prophesied just what
has happened; and it would have been tho
same thing had the salaries of these public
officeis been $4,000 instead of $2,000.
MACON MERCHANTS.
Messrs. Carhart it Curd.—This linn

They employ twenty-five clerks, and their

NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Gov. Lucius Robinson was re-nominated
for Governor, when the Tammany delega
tion withdrew, and nominated John Kelly.
Hon. Clarkson N. Potter was nominated
for Lieutenant-Governor by the regular
Convention. Tho platform adopted' is a
splendid one, but the division of the party,
and tiie running of two candidates for gov
ernor will peril, if it does not ruin, all pros
pects of Democratic success in tiie State.
M A R Y L A ND G RISEN B ACKS.—Ho wn l'l 1 Meeks
of Kent county was nominated by thogreen-
baek convention, for Governor.
Secretary Evarts and Family are at
Toronto, Canada, the guests of tho Marquis
of Lome.
Ben. Butler for Governor, AVendell Phil
lips for Lieutenant governor is the ticket
nominated by the Massachusetts Green-
backers.
Louisiana’s Loss.—Tho New Orleans
Times estimates the loss in sugar and other
crops and property by the late storm, as
over five millions of dollars. It says tho
loss in cotton on the low lands of Mississip
pi is estimated at 250,000 bales.
Prejudice often rules in the physical
treatment of Babies. They are allowed to
suffer and scream with pain from Colic,
Flatulence, Bowel Disorders, etc. when
some-simple, reliable and safe remedy as
Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup, would give almost
immediate relief and perfect ease to tiie
little sufferer.
The Wisconsin Democrats.—The YVis-
eonsiu Democrats nominated Alexander
Mitchell for governor and as there was
some doubt of his acceptance, he being now
in Europe, they nominated Wm. F. Vilas
for Lieutenant Governor with the under
standing that he accept the first place if
Mitchell declined to run. Vilas declined
and George H. King was subsequently se
lected, with Samuel Ryan as candidate for
Secretary of State.
Prof. Jos. T. Derry, who, for a number
of years, has been a Professor in the Rich
mond Academy, left yesterday morning for
Macon, to take charge of the chair of An
cient and Modern Languages in Wesleyan
Female College. He takes with him tiie
good wishes of tho entire community. Prof.
Derry is one of the most accomplished

The new French Cable.—London Sep

tic information that the deep-sea section of
the French cable has been laid anil the line
is complete from Brest to St. Pierre. The
Steamer Faraday is now returning to Eu
rope to ship the section of the cable which
is to connect St. Pierre with New York.
Cotton.—The convention on the cotton
crops of Alabama and Mississippi, says a
Mobile dispatch, are unfavorable as eom-
pared with last year. Rust, catterpillars
and bollworms, are doing injury iu Alabama
especially in prairie and bottom lands in
Alabama, and rust in Mississippi.
HICKORY ASHES.
One of tho best farmers in this or any
other county informs the writer, that the
ashes of hickory wood is one of tho best
remedies lie ever used for the internal dis
eases of horses—especially for worms. He
says, ho never permits his troughs to be
free from them. This remedy alone, is
wortii tiie subscription price one year, to
the farmer who reads tho Union & Recor
der.
COMPARE
A careful comparison or Dr. Price’s Special
Flavoring Extracts with others in the mar
ket, will convince any person that for
strength and delicacy of flavor, Dr. Priee’s
is far superior. While the other flavorings
have a turpentiny taste nnd odor, Dr.
Priee’s is as natural as the fruits from
which they are made.
The Electric Light.—Mr. W. Mattieu
Williams who for more than thirty wars
has closely studied the electric light, and
noted all its developments, does not hesi
tate to affirm that although as a scientific
achievement the electrio light is a splendid
success, its practical application to all pur-
pos es where cost is a matter of serious
consideration, is a complete and hopeless
failure, and must of neoesseity continue
so.

Lafavette and Major A. H. McLaws, it has
been'in constant and successful operation
more-than eleven years, within 'J’hicn pe
riod the transactions in property have been
numerous, involving large sums, und uni

appointment of General McLaws, however,
to be postmaster at Savannah, the affairs
of the Agency have been exclusively and
ably conducted by Major A. H. McLaws,
whose knowledge of the soil, climate and
productions of all portions of the State,
combined with a very large acquaintance
and experience, peculiarly qualify him for
the business. Perhaps no one individual
possesses a greater store of information re

Of OCTOBER 4 th will contain the first chap
ters of a story of thrilling; interest,
entitled
Anabel's Secret
BY MRS. J. O. BKANCH.
We desire not to anticipate the pleasure
which the readers of the Weekly News
will derive from the perusal of this charm
ing story, and therefore will not speak of
it iiere further than to say that in the man
agement of an original and intensely inter
esting plot not less than in her powers of
description, her hfe-iike delineations of
character, anil the pure moral time ot her
reflections, the accomplished author gives
assurance that she inherits the genius of
her gifted mother, Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz,
whose works of fiction have been so univer
sally admired and still rank among the
most popular American books of their class.
“Anabel's Seci et” is developed in California,
of which State the author was at one time
a resident, her vivid descriptions of some
of the wonderful scenery of that pictur
esque region are among the striking feat- j
ures of the story. • I
The new serial will run through some :
eight or ten nurubers to the Weekly. Sub-i

plete should send in their subscriptions at
