with Winchester twelve-shooters, landed
and took.the town withoutany opposition.
Basselais assured the people that they
had nothing to fear from liis party. Guns
were furnished to all who joined them. Up
to the morning of the 29th, no attack had
been made by the government forces. The
women and children were put on board of

Five years ago the Atlanta Constitution
used an $1,800 printing press on Its daily
issue. They have ordered ono for $27,000

Mr. Sid Lewis of the T. k M. lias no
use for the negro In “these digglns,”
as the following illustrates:
Our neighbor, the Thomasvllle Enter
prise, is troubled because "a Boston vis
itor has induced six ThomasYille house
servants to go with .her to. the North.”
The only bad foature’about the affair, in
our opinion, is that the number depart
ing is so small. The Boston visitor that
can induce six hundred thousand of them
to go from Georgia tc tho North will bo
entitled to the everlasting gratitude of our
people.
The Convention, considering the Intense
feeling between Bacon and Boynton men,
did splendidly. The good temper prevail
ing was a marked feature. It was no
doubt the largest nominating convention
ever held in the State, and every county
was represented, we believe. Democrats
are pugnacious, and often they lose tho main
stake thereby, but they are quick to make
friends when they look upon tiie wreck
tiieir own hands have made. “All’s well,
that ends well.”

HON. HENRY D. McDANIEL.
Our readers are already familiar with
the career of our democratic candidate for
governor,, as a brave and heroic warrior
during the struggle of the confederate
states for their independence, as a skillful
and profound lawyer, and as an acute higii-
tnitiSed and honest statesman. We would
not enlarge upon these traits of his char
acter at present, and merely allude to
them, as fully making up the picture of a
man worthy of the highest honor in the
gift or the people. He never shrunk from
danger in the long and bloody contest, al
ready referred to, and at Gettysburg and
other fields of danger ranked as t he bravest
among the brave. As a legislator he oc
cupied tho front rank, and much of the
most important legislation conducive to
tho well lacing of our State, was inspired
by his profound judgment and political sa
gacity. He was a distinguished, leader in
our first constitutional convention after
the war, and served with marked ability,
first in the representative branch of our
legislature and subsequently In the Senate.
In both he was tho originator of measures
of great importance to the welfare of the
State and people. Thus he combines all
the elements to secure conlidenco as one
fitted to protect and guide the destinies of
our beloved commonwealth—experience,
ability and fidelitx to all the interests or
the people. With all theso well known
and acknowledged attributes, his nomina
tion f«.r Governor will be triumphantly rat
ified at the polls.
DEATH OF MR. K. P. FARKLL.
Mr. Priestly Farell died’, very suddenly,
at his residence, near the Asylum, last
Tuesday night. Ho had discharged liis
duti.s during the day, seemingly, in his
usual health. After supper he com
plained of a pain in his side, and lying
down on his bed he fell asleep. After a
short nap he awoke with a feeling of suf
focation, and said he must get out or the
"house to get'air; and went out-in tho yard,
followed by his wife, where he immediate
ly expired. Thus, without previous warn
ing, he was called to pass through the dark
valley and shadow of Death. Having liv
ed a lira of integrity—walking patiently
and blamelessly in his lot—with an abi
ding faith in the goodness of God, ho laid
down Life's burdens, for rest, eternal.
Mr. Farell was a faithful soldier during
the war. He came from Whitfield county
to the Asylum, where he obtained employ
ment, several years ago. He served the
Institution in many capacities—discharg
ing every duty assigned him with intelli
gent fidelity. He was 44 years of ago; a
Oampbclllto Baptist in faith and practice;
quiet and unobtrusive in liis manners; kind
and affectionate fit liis disposition; and en
joyed the respect and esteem, of all who
know him. A sufferer from heart disease,
this pale, quiet man carried In his breast
a constant reminder of the uncertainty of
life, which made him peculiarly gentle and
kind and considerate of the feelings of
others. Ho leaves a wife and four children,
all girls, to mourn their Irreparable loss.
He was buried in tho city cemetery, on
Thursday last—Rev. J. M. Stoney officia

TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
Rooms State Executive Committee of
the Democratic Party, Atlanta, April,
13._To the Fcoplc of Georgia: By unani
mous vote of the State Democratic con
vention. recently held, tbo Hon. Henry
D! McDaniel, or the county of Walton,
was presented to ymu as a candidate In
every way worthy of the highest office
within, your gift. The deliberations of
the convention, continuing through two
days, were characterized by exceptional
concord and good fellowship, and it is con
fidently hoped that the choice made
will be ratified by you at the polls with
entire unanimity.
In accordance with the proclamation of
the Governor, the election will be held
on Tuesday, the 24th day of this month.
It does not now appear that there will
be an opposing candidate, but it is, never
theless, most important that a full vote
should be polled. This is necessary to
keep well together the party organization,
for we cannot foretell how soon every
Democratic vote may be needed. The
object of this communication is to urge
that the polls be opened at every precinct
In the State, and that as large a vote as
possible be polled. The State executive
committee urges upon all local commit
tees, county and city, to [give this mat
ter their prompt and energetic attention,
inasmuch as the time before the election
is so short that the responsibility for
efficient work must necessarily devolve
upon such organizations.

Old Times at the Old Capital.
A FAMOUS ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
UNWRITTEN HISTORY.
Perhaps there never was In the history
of Georgia an electoral college called to
gether at Milledgeviile, to cast the vote of
Georgia for the Presidency and Vice Pres
idency of tho United States, more ablo
than the one that assembled at Milledge
ville, November 29th, 1852. The ticket
elected was as follows:
Wilson Lumpkin, H. V. Johnson, Thos.
M. Forman, Richard H. Clark, Henry G.
Lamar, Hugh A. Haralson, Joseph E.
Brown, W. L. Mitchell. R. W. Flournoy,
William Schley. Mr. Forman could not
get hero and Hr. Fort was appointed in
his place. The vote was cast solid for
Franklin Pierce, for President, and Wil
liam R. King, for Vice President. The
writer was chosen Secretary of tho col
lege.
Upon the ticket were two ex-Governors
viz: Wilson Lumpkin, then about eigh
ty years of ago, and William Schley,
a few years younger. Theso aged and
distinguished gentlemen were tho guests
of Dr. Tomlinson Fort. All of tho col
lege were prominent men at that tirno.
The youngost man on the college was
Richard H. Clark, now of Atlanta, aged
then only 23 years, tho next youngest, Jo
seph E. Brown, aged 31.
An amusing incident or two will be in
place at this time—without the tinge of
offense In the relation, be assured my kind
reader. A Messenger had to be chosen to
carry the vote of the college to Washing
ton City. R. J. Cowart and Manson Stell
were candidates. They had made a can
vass of the college, and found that on tho
first ballot, each would - receive four (4)
votes. Georgia had (10) ten electoral votes
at that time. Tills tie voto would make
the result hang on tho vote of the two old
Governors, “to hear from.” Neither would
commit himself, and neither said he had
any favorite. In the condition of things
Cowart and Stell compromised and the
friends of both voted for Stell, who re
ceived 8 votes on the first ballot, and was
elected. The reason of the reticence of
the two old Ex-Governors was then first
made known, when It appeared that John
Lumpkin, (the ex-Gov’s Son.) had received
(2) two votes; but it was too late for John,
Stell had been elected. It was. apparent
that Gov. Lumpkin thought, among so
many candidates, (for there were just (70)
seventy willing to have the position) there
would be no election on the first ballot, and
that the other electors, seeing that his son
John was voted for, would elect him In de
ference to himself and Gov. Schley. And so
they would have done, (we know) if Gov.
Lumpkin had been advanced enough in
modern ways to have had his friend
Schley say as much to the other delegates.
But they scorned such means.
A more pleasant Incident Hi this connec
tion we relate. Gov. Schley was almost
as much of a fossil as Gov. Lumpkin, but
was of more quiet demeauor and amiable
temper. When tho college cauiA to make
out the accounts for mileage, each mem
ber counted by the way of tho railroads.
It came to Hugh Haralson's time to speak.
Said that elegant gentleman—“let’s see—
so many miles from LaGrangu to Atlanta
—90 many froiy Atlanta to Macon—so ma
ny from Macon to Milledgeviile.” As soon
as he said that, old man Schley said—
“when 1 first came to Milledgeviile, from
Augusta, forty years ago, It was ninety
miles, and I don’t suppose it’s any more
now.” Tills coming Just after Haralson’s
schedule »f travel, brought Gov. Lumpkin
up to liis friend Schley's support. Theffwo
kept together as much as possible, and as
the ladles say,.“their devotion to each oth
er was beautiful.”
What made Gov. Schley’s computation
or mileage more remarkablo was, as we all
knew, that because of the wash fn the
Central Road in the vicinity of Millen, the
good old man had come to Milledgeviile,
via Atlanta and Macon, and really traveled
each way (311) three hundred and eleven
miles, with the consequent expense. Gov.
Schley was a very honest man, and It was
this feature in his character, adhered to
rigidly, that defeated him, many years
before, for a re-election to the Executiye
chair.
Gov. Howell Cobb presided over the Ex
ecutive Mansion, and the State, at the time
we write of. • We democrats had been split
up smartly by politics, but Gov. Cobb, in
his big-hearted, wliple-souled way, asked
us all of t he college—(even to ye secreta
ry) to dine with him at tho Mansion. The
writer had opposed him so bitterly for
Governor against McDonald that he felt
a shyness in coming in front of the great
Georgian. But we mustered np the requi
site courage and if there ever was a sour
dinner in Goorgla, in a public way, that
ripened into sweeter fruit3 this poor pen
can’t remember it. The two venerablo ex-
Governors sat down with us all about 4 p.
m. Gov. Cobb presided, with Hugh A.
Haralson on his right. About 9 p. m. Gov.
Schley said toGov. Lumpkin- “Wilson, we
can’t keep up with the boys, let’s go
home;” an.l home they went. The pleas
ant company lingered until midnight. The
best stories were told, and never a delegate
fell under the table. *Our principal regret
was the absence of Richard H. Clarke who
had been detained by high water and got
in too lato to join in the union festivities at
the Ex. Mansion. Had HE been there
morning would have been far advanced ere
all of us got homo.
Hon. T. M. Forman got to the city on
Wednesday evening after tho college had
closed Us labors. The high water com
pelled him to travel hundreds of miles out
of his usual course to this city, and he
came in through Hancock county on horse
back.
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The Democratic State convention assem
bled at the capitol in Atlanta, on Tuesday
last, 10th inst., at 12 o’clock, M. Captain
Harrj’ Jackson (<x>k the chair, as chair
man of the State Democratic Executive
Committee. Gen. Young nominated Col.
Cbas. C. Jones of Richmond, for tempora
ry chairman, and he was elected without
opposition, and returned his thanks.—
Messrs. Mark Hardin and H. H. Cabiness
were made secretaries. On calling the roll
137 counties reported delegates present.—
Hon. Charles T. Crisp, of Sumter county,
was unanimously chosen permanent Pres-
dent of the Convention. Messrs. Jackson,
Colley and Lamar were appointed to con
duct him to the chair. Judge Crisp ad
dressed the convention as follows:
“Gentlemen of the Convention ; I feel that
I shoui.i give some expression to the kind
ness you have shown in imposing upon
me this unsolicited honor. I feel that it is
due to you as well as to myself that, in the
discharge of the duty your partiality has
assigned to me, whatever my personal
feelings may be as to one candidate or the
other, I shall handle tiie scales exactly
even. It shall be my purpose then, as far
as in me lies, to so conduct myself that
upon the adjournment of the convention
no man ean shy that his candidate has
suffered injury at the hands of tho chair.
(Appiause.l It argues well for the future
of this convention that there has been no
contest over this position. As you know I
can sincerely say it was not sought, it was
unsolicited, surely in view of the interests
involved, in tiie interest of the state wo all
love, there should characterize the deliber
ations of thts body a spirit of harmony.
As lias been sai.l by the temporary chair
man this is an extraordinary occasion. We
are surrounded by the emblems of grief;
we have met here because Georgia’s great
statesman has been stricken down as ho
would have liked to fall—in the discharge
of duty. We have met to nominate a suc
cessor. Permit mo to appeal to you now
to proceed to that nomination in a spirit
of kindness. Let us act as brothers. How
ever much we may favor particular men.
however earnest we may be in the cause of
our friends, let us remember that we owe
more to trie great state we love than to
any friends. tAppl au sm) Let us all re
member that tiie first great purpose of
this convention should be to rmtke such a
nomination as that tiie democratic party
may In tho future, as It has been in tho
past, be triumphant in the election by an
overwhelming majority .
I say then, thanking you again, and ex
pressing great doubt of mv ability to dis
charge tho trust you have imposed upon
me, but at tho same time announcing an
honest intention to do my duty—I say in
conclusion .hat, while we are here, between
us all let there be peace and harmony and
good will. (Applause.)

THE NOMINEE.
Hon. Henry D. McDaniel, the nominee
of the Democratic party of Georgia, is 46
years of age. Ho was born in Walton
county, where lie now resides. He was
a member of the State Convention In
1861, and or tho lower house of the leg
islature in 1873, and State Senator for 3
terms, in all of which positions he served
well and faithfully. In the oelebrstod im
peachment trial, when Comptroller Gold
smith was before the Senate, Mr. MeDan-
iel asked to be excused from voting on the
ground of relationship. In the famous
Norweod-Colquitt contest he was a Nor
wood man. lie has an impediment in his
speecli which detracts from his orato
ry, but lie Is as sound a man—with a Joe
Brown judg-ment attachment—as can be
found in Georgia. He is a well read man,
posted on every question of State impor
tance, of incorruptible integrity and puri
ty of morals. He is in tho prime of man
hood, comfortable in pecuniary citeum-
stances and will make Georgia a good
Governor.

A dispatch to the Augusta News, says:
“The committee of eighteen selected by
the Convention endeavored to bring in a
dark iiorse, and Indeed came near winning
with Hon. Geo. T. Barnes, of Augusta.
Barnes was the first man voted for by the
committee after the regular candidates
received a vote, ne got the solid Boynton
vote (6) and one or two others of the com-
mittece, barely missing a majority and
the nomination.
Judges fteose, Lawton, Simmons and
Crawford, were then ballotted for, but
none of these gentlemen received over
eight votes.
McDaniel’s name was formally with
drawn in committee, and the vote then
stood nine and nine between Bacon and
Boynton. The excitement was then great,
as each of the two prominent candidates
only lacked one vote to decide the issue.
At this point McDaniel was again put
up, and received, in addition to liis owh
four votes, the six votes of Boynton and
the two votes for Cook. This gave Mc
Daniel twelve votes and the nomination.

The trial of Joe Brady, on the charge of
murdering Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke
began on the morning of the 11th. The
case for the crown was opened by Mr.
Porter.
Farrell and Carey gave the same testi
mony they did some time ago, upon the
the arrest of the prisoners, Porter said
that the men who had instigated tho mur
der, had fled to foreigh lands and that the
crown, in this case, had been compelled to
provide means for defending Brady from
this terrible charge. None of the testimo
ny, of Farrell or Carey, is reported but on
the arrest they implicated Brady as a par
ticipant in the murder.
The Elective Council (Ireland) bill, em

tion, which had already provoked«uch ex

THE TRIAL OF JOE BRADY.
The testimony against Bra.ly is that on
ly of informers Carey the informer ad
mitted that he was one of the prime mov
ers in the murder of Mr. Burke, but he
wa3 under compulsion during the time di
rectly preceding the event. Being closely
interrogated by the Counsel on this point,
he finally admitted that he was not under
compulsion when he pointed out Mr.
Burke to the assassins and urged the mur
derers to remember that ihe man dad In a
gray’ suit was Mr. Burke. The Counsel
for the defence brought out in sharp con
trast to points made by the crown that
Carey drove with his children to the door
of a church in Fltzharriseab; on the 6th or
May, the day of the murder, that he was
the first man to suggest that daggers be
used and that he afterwards suggested
that the daggers with which the crime was
committed should be put on exhibition as
national relics. He said lie had been in
formed by Mr. Mallon, chief of tiie detec
tives, that if ids evidence should be given
freely to the State and should be confirm
ed by that of the other witnesses, he and
his brother would be pardoned for their
share in the conspiracy. This statement
caused some sensation. His attention be
ing called to tiie trifling details which had
been discovered lately, relating to tho
movements of Fitzharris’ cabin the park
on the day or the murder, and which hail
not been given by the witness, Carey re
marked quietly, but with evident signifi
cance, that lie had so far only answered
the questions put to him bv the counsel,
and that he could, if unrestricted and if ho
desired, tell a great deal more. The cross-
examination of Carey was very severe and
searching. The counsel for "the defense
said in remarking on the witness’ testi
mony, that Carey’s hands were bteeped in
blood, Carey said: ‘ That is not true.”
Subsequently Carey said he was only tell
ing hair or what he knew and lie was’ more
friendly to tiie counsel for tiie defense than
the counsel himself was aware of; for ho
iiad told the latter to bear in mind that ho
was not telling everything that he knew
agaiu6t his client. The counsel vehement
ly protested that it was his wish to havo
no friendly Intercourse with thd witness
and no favor from him. Michael Kavan-
