The Talbotton Standard reports that owing
to the increased acreage, the cotton crop of
Tni'.cjt county will come up to the average
vi-M. In some sections the prospect is quite
il ittering, while in others it is unusually poor.
Picking begins in earnest th's week.
F hir cows were killed by lightning on Mon

The Americus Repub.ican claims that the

reduced the rates.
Hon. William B. Butt, of Marion county, has

TIi * Butler Herald says, that, the Coroner of
Taj-; r county was notified on Tutsday last
that a negro woman named Harriet Long had
been found dead near the dwelling of Maria
Dram*, her grandmother, at Howard, and foul
play was suspected On arriving at the place
the roner immediately summoned a ju-j r and
held an inquest over the body. Upon close
examination it was found that her neck was
broken and she was otherwise severely bruised.
Every indication proved that she had been
murdered. Alter the examination of a num
ber of witnesses the jury returned a verdict of
murder committed with a w eapon in the hands
of her grandmother. A warrant was imme
diate!}- issued for the arrest of Maria, and
early next morning she was lodged in jail at
Butler to await a more thorough investiga-
Nim'y six in the shade last Sunday in Gaines

The Gainesville Southron says: “Tom Kin
ney. Hs.| . informs us that James Richardson,
near Uncle Billy Woods, in this county, has
pi ked out IX) pound* of cotton up to Saturday
last. This is about the earliest matured cotton
we have heard of in this county.”
Albany has secured since July 31st 518 bales
of cotton against 400 at the same time last
year. The Advertiser is well p'eased over this
showing, and thinks it augurs well for the fu

The Atlanta rolling mills were sold about the
first of the present month. It is not known
wh,. the purchasers are, but it is presumed
that the property is now owned by Northern
capitalists. Mr. Grant Wilkins, representing
the new proprietors, assumed charge of the
business Wednesday.
Governor Colquitt was received with a Gov
ernors salute of fourteen guns on his arrival
in Augusta yesterday. Mr. Norwood was met
at ih>- depot by a committee of four, a carriage
drawn by four horses, and a brass band. So it

being elected.
An alleged letter from General Toombs, re-

The friends of Judge Geo. N. Letter, of
Marietta, are urging Governor Colquitt to ap

Atlanta Post: “The situational the Rolling
Mill remains unchanged, with the exception of
the fact that the opposing elements stand firm
er upon their principles than ever. Mr. Wil
kins, the manager, refuses to give the men any
satisfaction about their money, and the em
ployes of the mill state emphatically that thev
will not go to work until their wages are paid.
A Post representative was informed by one of
the men this morning that it is all a mistake
about Mr. Wilkins having informed the men
that he intended paying them off Saturday
next. He sars that no such proposilion has
been made. Our informant says that the men
are firm, and will not move a wheel until their
back wages are placed in their hands. From
the present outlook it is impossible to say when
the strike will come to an eud. and in what
manner the existing differences will be set
tled.”
A correspondent writing from Bainbridge to
the Wiregrass Watchman on the political situ
ation in Decatur county, says: “Since the
convention Governor Colquitt has grown
stronger daily. Ex-Senator Norwood has
many warm friends in our county who regret
to see him occupying his present position.
They admire him as a man, but see in his can
didacy nothing but an opposition, to one man.
who transcends his loyalty to the party that
elected him to the Senate. They regard him
as an advocate of mipority rule. They see him
adopting as his exemplar and following in the
tracks of John Kelly, of New York, who, be it
remembered, because of his opposition to the
man nominated by the majority, headed a mi
nority ticket, and bv dividing the Democratic
vote, delivered the State government into the
hands of the Republicans. Be-ides, the ex-
Seoator occupies a peculiar position. He ap
points a committee and the committee ap
points him. A kind of ‘I’ll tickle you and }-ou
tickle me’ arrangement that the people don’t
like.”
Gainesville Southron: “Edison has discover
ed a modus operandi of separating the sul-
phurets from the gold, and has demonstrated
that be can get every particle of go’d out of
the quartz rock. Already he has bought all
the tailings in the celebrated mines in Califor
nia at a nominal price to work over by ins new
process. He has taken out nine .* dollars to
the ton where only five dollars w.. • taken out
by the regular process; and e samples
from the Hall county mines tha r !y yielded
three dollars to the ton he foun^. r.ually con
tained over two hundred dollars This new
invention wi 1 revolutionize North Georgia and
create the wildest enthusi tsm ever experienced
since the intrusion. There is no liiimbugabout
tins, as we have the facts directly from the
most reliable and experienced miuer in New
York, who is now testing ores in this section
with marked success.”
Americus Republican: “On Monday last one
of the colored men in the employ of Mr L. G.
Hudson, in the Twenty eighth district of Sum
ter and about eight miles from Americus, ap
proached him and asked him to ‘raise his
wages.’ After some conversation Mr. Hudson
agieed to do so. and in conclusion said: ‘Now,
go4o your work, and do it good.’ The negro
remarked: ‘Damned if I’m going to kill myself
at it.’ ‘Well, don’t stand there mouthing about
it; go to your work, and go quick,'was Mr.
Hudson’s reply, and he turned to leave. The
negro picked up a brick, or rock, and throw
ing. struck Hudson back of the head, knocking
him down. He rose and dashed at the negro,
who again knocked him down and started to
jump on him, but Hudson trippe.l the man and
he fell. Hudson jumping up seized a large stick
and trailed the colored pugilist severely; but
he got away and has not been seen since.
Hudson called on Dr. Ragley and had his
wounds dressed.”
A Harris county correspondent of the Colum
bus Enquirer writes that paper that on Satur
day night, the 14th instant, “as Mr. Fletcher
Freeman was returning from dowers Church,
he was attacked in the public road and severe
ly cut in several places vrh a knife by Jeff
Rutledge, colored. Rutledge was waylaying
in the road, and swore that he intended to cut
Freeman’s G—d d—n throat from ear to ear.
A few days afterwards a warrant was sued out
for the arrest of Rutledge Parties went to
arrest the offender, when his father denied that
he was at home, saying he was in Alabama.
The doors were barred up and he would cot
allow his house entered by the officers, accus
ing them of being a mob whose purpose was
robbery, an 1 declaring that he had the colored
neighbors all posted and he would very soon
have a crowd therj large enough to whip the
constable and his party away from there. He
stepped out and made a few 3 ells for his neigh
bors. Some three or four of them came to his
assistance, but as soon as they arrived they
wero pressed by the bailiff to assist in arrest
ing the offending party, and by the pi udence
of the constable and his posse, trouble and
perhaps bloodshedding were avoidei. The
negro was arrested ana carried before Justices
Cox and Nunn&ily, by whom the case was con
tinued un'il Monday, allowing the parties tune
to get ready for trial.” ,i .■ ? -
The Atlanta CaiuUtuf ion gives an account of
“A Georgian in Luck,” as f Hows: “While in
Cliieago a few days ago a representative of the
Constitution met an old Georgian to whom the
lates have been very partial. His name is
Gore, and he is a partner in the firm of Chapin
& Gore, the most famous barkeepers in the
Union. They have a concern in Chicago in
which there is over $5,0U0 worth of pictures,
besides the roost magnificent stock of glass
and liquors. In Indianapolis th *y keep a still
finer barroom with at least §5,(K)J worth of cut
glass and china. In St. Louis they have a simi
lar establishment. Gore has a very romantic
history. His father was a hotelkeeper in
Americus whom old citizens remember
well. Young Gore grew ambitious and
restless. He left the country town to seek
his fortune in a wider field. Going to the wild
West twenty years ago he happened in on
Chicago, which was then in the llush of its
youthful hope and pride. lie found an arrive
man and went in with him to sell wh : sky. ^To
day the two men are worth over a million dol
lars, and are among the largest importers of
wines in the United States. Mr. Gore was es
pecially kind to Georgians during the recent
Knights Templar conclave. He still cherishes
the memory of the old State, and is proud to
say to any man who asks his origin, ‘I am a
Georgian, sir.’ He is growing richer every
day. His old father has closed up the Ameri
cus hotel forever, hut his son is a prosperous,
rich man, in spite of the predictions of the old
folks, who said, when he ran away from home,
that he would come to no good.”

A special dispatch from Washington
says:
The report from Havana that the
French are in treaty with the Danes for
the islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix and
St John is not credited in administration
quarters. During the Presidency of
General Grant, it became necessary to
inform the Danish Government that any
attempt to transfer her colonial posses
sions on this continent to another Euro
pean nation would be regarded as an un
friendly act, and treated as such. It has
been necessary since the present admin
istration came into power to reiterate the
so-called Grant doctrine, and if necessary
it will again be done. It is for this rea
son that the report is not credited in
official circles. On the other hand, it is
said that if France wishes to pur
chase the islands from Denmark
the present government of that
country would do so in spite of our pro
test denying the right of the United
States to play the dog in-the-manger
policy of refusing to buy, and interfer
ing with the right of another nation to
sell to whom she pleases. It is officially
known that the islands are for sale, and
it is hinted that the report is revived to
invite the attention of our government
to the fact that if we will not buy them
then they will be sold to the country
making the most liberal offer. Their
purchase by Great Britain, it is said, is
the only thing we have really to fear,
and that the policy of regarding the pro
posed transfer for a consideration to
any other European nation as an un
friendly act is instigated by the hope
that sooner or later they will be bought
bv the United States. It will be remem
bered that it was during Mr. Johnson’s
administration that Secretary Seward
succeeded in getting the Senate to ratify
a treaty purchasing St. Thomas, but the
House failed to make the necessary ap
propriation of $7,000,000, and our repu
tation for abiding by our treaty stipula
tions is not very high among the Danish
statesmen, who this day, it is said, won
der the United States purchased the ice
berg of Alaska, and a9k if it was because
the Russian nation was more powerful
than Denmark and treaty stipulations
with that nation something not to be
ignored.
In some of the smaller cities and towns
there are business establishments whose
travelers make journeys as extensive as
any undertaken by the drummers of
Pennsylvania and New York. Connecti
cut men are among the leaders in seeking
new markets for their productions.
Some of the large manufacturers of
tools, machinery, hardware and other
kinds of goods in that State send men to
South America, Europe, and elsewhere
in the same matter-of-fact ma: ner that
smaller houses might send to S.. acuse or
Canajoharie. A firm of carri: . 3 manu

Mediterranean. He sold some carriages
in Egypt, but none in the countries to
the westward, where the British and
Continental manufacturers yet retain
command of the market.

Special 1 eleqram to the Morning News.
Augusta, August 2G.—The City Hall Park
was filled with a large crowd to night to
hear the joint discussion between Gov. A
II. Colquitt and Hon. T. M. Norwood. Lo
comotive headlights and lanterns il
luminated - the scene, while the
balconies and windows of the court house
were filled to overflowing. Crowds of Col
quitt men marched down with a brass band,
while the Norwood supporters turned out
in force. Mayor May, a Colquitt man, pre
sided and introduced the orators. The
debate was limited to three hours.
Mr. Norwood lead off in aa hour’s speech
calmly reviewing Colquitt’s administration,
and ingeuiousiy insinuating divers things,
some of which he hoped were not true. He
handled with sugar tong3 the Northeastern
bond scandal, Impugning no motives, dis
cussing no facts, but deprecating the man
ner of the endorsements. He deprecated
the religious elements of the canvass, went
through the Alston fee, and wept
copiously, not to say bitterly
over the alleged loss of eight
thousand dollars. He drew a deep sigh of
pity and disgust over the conyict abuses
under the present administration and tried
to meet Governor Colquitt in coquetting
for the colored vote, as he termed it. He
paid his respects to Nelms, and 6aid he was
practicing fraud in using the grand jury
reports covering only the time since
the passage of the late law which those
abuses necessitated. lie contended that the
Legislature, not Colquitt, brought about the
flue financial condition of the State. That
he had levied heavy taxes, drawn money out
of the Treasury unnecessarily, all the while
dexterously evading open charges of fraud
or peculation. lie said the big sums col
Iected for the State happened to fall in Col
qultt’s lap, and he contended he had planted
the tree.
Gov. Colquitt was roundly cheered on
opening his reply. He said if he could have
seen Mr. Norwood before the latter first
committed himself to these personal
charges he would have persuaded him
that these were not so. lie denied
that he had employed religion as a factor.
It was simply a rebound upon his original
traducers. He said he had never appealed
to the Methodist, or any other church, for
support. [Applause.] He reviewed the
Northeastern case, and read the legislative
committee’s report exonerating him. [Great
applause.] He wanted to know why Nor
wood was making such a fuss over the
manner of the endorsement when he had not
attacked the principles involved iu the case,
or the motives of his action. He said that
no debt had bee’J established on Alston
when the big fee* was paid. Gov. Colquitt
turned" Norwood's coquetry completely
upon him in discussing the convict cases.
The colored people flocked delightedly
around the speaker’s stand, when a heavy
rain came up and stopped all the speaking.
Both the candidates soon left the stand.
Colquitt was serenaded twice to night.

Constantinople, August 26.—It is cer
tain that the Sultan is somewhat alarmed
as his conviction that the European concert
has broken down and the naval demonstra
tion abandoned has been shaken by the in
telligence he has received during the last
few days, but he still hopes the danger will
somehow be averted and is very reluctant
to take any decisive steps until he
is quite certain that the powers
will employ coercion. Some naval authori
ties declare confidently that the danger is
already past, for the united 6quadrou can
hardly be got ready before the time of the
equinoctial gales, when it would be very
hazardous for large men-of-war to visit the
Albanian coast. As this idea has been com
municated to the Sultan, it Is probably one
of the many motives which Ipduce him to
refrain from decisive steps.
London, August 26.—The Times corres
pondent at Constantinople has received
from an anonymous source a copy oi a
seditious proclamation in Turkish, which is
being clandestinely circulated ia Constanti
nople. It consists mostly of a series of
violent imprecations against the imperial
family from Ibrahim Pasha to the present
Sultan, who is said to have destroyed in
six month% an empire six centuries old
The do2ument concludes as follows: “We
have been utterly ruined by the Sultauate
aud can only be saved by justice and liberty.
Let us re-establish Islamism iu its pristine
purity ! Let us assemble our deputies and
choose a new chief !” The idea of abolish
ing the despotic Sultanate and returning to
primitive institutions, according to which
the Caliph was elected by the people aDd
controlled by the Ulemas, is often expressed
at present by he more liberal Mussulmans.
A dispatch from Constantinople to the
Times, dated to-day, says: “The collective
note of the powers in reply to the Porte’s
Jast note on the Greek frontier question has
been signed and will be presented to Abed-
din Pasha to-day by the dragoman of the
German Embassy. It declares that the new
boundary having been fixed by the media
torial conference at Berlin and unanimously
adopted by the powers, the reopening of
negotiations on the subject is declined.’*

been received at headquarters here:
“Eagle Springs, Texas, August 19
am drawing supplies from Forts Bliss and
Davis and making such disposition of the

that Victoria and his marauders were very
severely puuished during their short stay in
Texas. The hurried manner in which they
cut aud tore flesh from the dead animals
found in their camp on the trail
indicates the food they were com
pel'ed to subsist on after their supplies
were captured by the troops in the Sierra
Riable. The Indiaus crossed the Kio
Grande, midway between Ojo Calient a and
Quitman, and attacked the stage near where
they crossed the road, mortally wounded

passed thence through the gap la the moun

in the direction of the Candelaria Moun

trail of the Indians to watch their move
ments and to gain definite information
in regard to their whereabouts. Colo

By Telegraph to the Morning News.
New York, August 23.—The “Life
General Hancock,*’ published to-day by D.
Appleton Co., contains his correspond
ence with General Sherman of December
1876, and January, 1877, in the course of
which the letter already given to the public,
written at Carondelet, Mo., December 28,
was addressed to General Sherman. The
latter wrote on December 4, granting Gen.
Hancock’s application for leave of absence
to go to Caroudelet, aud his letter made the
following allusions (the only ones) to politi
cal affairs. Referring to the orders sent by
the President to General Ruger, command
icg the Department of the South, General
Sherman said:
“ Political orders to Ruger at Columbia
I prefer should go from the President to him
through the Secretary of War. They were
not military. I dislike much to have our
soldiers used in concert with a legislative
body, but orders coming from the President
have to be obeyed. They form a bad ure-
cedent, but thus far have prevented a collis
ion of arms between the inflamed parti
sans.”
The letter from General Hancock (not in
cluded in the published correspondence)
expresses some uueasiness on account of the
newspaper reports which he had seen stat
ing that he was to be ordered from New
York, and appears to have furnished occa
sion for the following letter from General
Sherman:
Headers Army of the United States,
Washington, D. C., Dec. 17, 1876
My Dear General—Lest your peace of
mind may be disturbed by the foolish re
port bandied iu the newspapers about your
being ordered for New York, 1 will tell you
that there is not a word of truth in it.
Neither the President nor the Secretary of
War has ever intimated to me such a pur
pose, and I know I have never said a word
or written a syllable to that effect. I 6ce in
the Republican, of St. Louis, that not only
was the order made, but that I destroyed
it, and tore out the leaves of the record
book containing the copy. The whole thing
was, aDd is, an invention by somebody who
wanted to create a sensation. The same is
true about John Sherman intriguing to be
President of the Senate, that he might be
President ad interim. He has told me that
he has never heard the subject broached:
that he would not accept the place, as he
preferred to be what he is now, Chairman
of the Senate Committee on Finance.
The letter concludes: “No serious changes
in the command are being contemplated,
and when they are you may be sure that I
will give you the earliest notice. There are
men on mischief intent, who would gladly
sow seeds of dissension among us of the
array.” Truly your friend,
[Signed] W. T. Sherman.
i his letter Is followed by the Carondelet
letter, to which General Sherman replied as
follows:
Hkadq’rs Army or the United States, )
Washington, D. G., January 2, 1877. j
Gen. H'. *i Haficock, New York;
• Dear General—I did not receive j’our
most interesting letter of December 28 :h
from Carondelet, Mo., until yesterday. 1
am very glad to have your views in extenso
upon a subject, of such vital Importance.
Our standard opinions are mostly formed on
the practice of our predecessors, but a great
change was made after the close of the civil
war by the amendments to the Constitution,
giving to freed slaves ceitain civil and Doliti-
cil rights, and empowering Congress to
make laws necessary to the enforcement of
these rights. This power is new and abso
lute and Congress has enacted laws with
which we are not yet familiar and accus
tomed. [See pages 348, 349, 350, Revised
Statutes, section 1989, edition 1873-4.] Asa
matter of fact I dislike to have our army
used in these civil conflicts, but the Presi
dent has the lawful right to use the armb
and navy, and has exercised the right,
he believes lawfully and rightfully,
and our duty has been and is
to sustain him with zeal and sincerity.
As to the Presidential election, we are in no
miuner required to take the least action
but recognize him as President whom the
lawfully appointed officers declare to be
such person. I hope aDd pray that Congress
will agree on some method before the day
and hour arrives, but iu case of a failure to
elect by or before the fourth of March there
will be a vacancy in both offices of Presi
dent and Vice President, in which event the
President of the Senate becomes Presi
dent pro tem., and a new election
will have to be held under the law
of 1792. [See title 3, chapter 1, pages 21.
22, 23, of the Revised Statutes.] It is well
that we should compare notes and agree be
fore the crisis is on us, but^I surely hope we
may pass this ordeal safely and peacefully.
I will be pleased to hear from you at any
time.
[Signed] W. T. Sherman.
The next letter published Is from General
Hancock to General Sherman, dated New
York, January 2d. It is as follows:
General W. T. Sherman, United States Army,
Washing'on, D. C :
General—Au anonymous communication
to the Secretary of War, dated Louisville,
Ky., December 16, 1876, reached my head
quarters on the 27th of that month from the
office of the Adjutant General of the army.
It represents that in “a contemplated up
rising of the people to enforce the inaugu
ration of Tilden and Hendricks, the depot
at Jeffersonville is to be seized, and is ex
pected to arm and clothe an Indiana army
of Democrats.” The endorsement on this
communication, made at United States
headquarters, dated December 26, 1S76, is
as follows:
Official. Copy referred to Major-Gene
ral W. S. Hancock, commanding division
of the Atlantic. May draw a company from
General Ruger, commanding the Depart
ment of the South, and post it at Jefferson
ville depot, with orders to protect it against
any danger.”
The terms of the endorsement imply the
exercise of discretion on my part, which
leads me to write you before taking action.
In my judgment there is do danger of the
kind that the anonymous communication
sets fonb, or other kinds at the Jeffersonville
depot, to justify the movement of troops to
that place. Such movement, it seems to
me, would involve an unnecessary expense
and would create or increase the apprehen
sion for which there is no real foundation.
There are no arms or ammunition at Jeffer
sonville depot, aud if such a force as is re
ferred to can be raised for rebellious pur
poses it is not likely that It would begin by
seizing a depot of army uniforms, and, there
fore, if there are grounds for the action of
the government, 1 see no danger, in the de
lay which will result from tbi6 present ac
tion on the subject, to you. If, however,
In your better judgment, a company should
be sent there, it shall be promptly done as
soon as you notify me to that effect. As I
have already said, I do not act at once be
cause in your Instructions you say I “may”
send a company there, which I construe as
leaving it somewhat discretionary with me.
I returned on the 31st of December, 1876,
from 8t. Louis. I am, very truly, yours,
[Signed] Winfield S. Hancock,
Major-General Commanding.
On the 19:h of January General Hancock
wrote to General Sherman that he had been
so busy that he had “not yet written as he
intruded.” In reply to an acknowledgment
of his letter from Carondelet, he says: “I
wish to notice simply your reference to the
Revised Statutes and one or two other points
in a brief way. I will do so yet, but not to
day, as I am house hunting. The proposition
for the joint commission insures a peaceful
solution of the Presidential question, if it
becomes a law, and, in my opinion, gives to
General Hayes chances he did not have be
fore. I have considered that Mr. Tilden’s
chances were impregnable; not so Mr.
Hendricks. Now, it seems to me that Gov
ernor Hayes has something more than an
equal chance, but definite results cannot be
foreshadowed. Fortunately, the trouble
need not be provided against by the
use of the army should the bill be
come a law. If the bill passes
and General Grant vetoes it, Mr. Til
den’s chances will be stronger than be
fore. Certainly, if he and his friends sup
ported the measure, public opinion will
strengthen his position. The danger in the
compromise question, or joint commission
plan, is, that the£defeated candidate might
appeal to the Supreme Court on the grounds
of Illegal (unconstitutional; decisions.”
I am, very truly yours,
Winfield S. Hancock.
General Sherman writes the closing letter
of the correspondence (as published). It is
dated Washington, January 29th. He says :
“General—The passage of the bill for
counting the electoral vote, approved by
the President, ends, in my judgment, all
possible danger of confusion or disorder In
connection with the Presidential imbroglio.
feel certain that the dual govern
ments in South Carolina and Louisi
ana will he decided by the same means
which determines who Is to be the next
President of the United States. .1 therefore,
with the consent and approval of the Secre
tary of War, now abseht, say I want to
return the troops, temporarily detached, as
soon as possible to the posts occupied
before the election, with this exception,
that twelve companies ( now thirteen),
the equivalent of a regiment, remain here
in Washington for a time.”
The remainder of the letter relates to the
disposition of the troops to be ordered back
from the South.

THE CORN CROP.
Favorable Report from the North
west.
By Telegraph to the Morning News.
CniCAGO, August 26.—The Commercial
Bulletin has replies from correspondents
from two hundred and fifty counties in the
Northwest from August 10th to the present
time as to the condition and prospects of
the corn crop. The result, is the discovery
that the stories of the drought have been
much exaggerated, and that the frequent
showers of the past few days will doubtless
remedy a Ereat part of the evil from the
drought. The crop will certainly be a
large average, the damage being confined to
narrow limits. In some districts the crops
will be the largest on record. This is true
of low 1. The summary shows that twenty
five counties report the condition as poor,
fifty-four report it fair, one hundred and
nine good and 6ixty-two excellent. Illinois,
the largest corn State, reports five poor, ten
fair, thirteen good and seven excellent.

Diide County Gazette : “Hon. Thomas
M. Norwood, the minority candidate for
Governor, wrote to Governor Colquitt a
few days ago asking him to come down
and not make the race. ThU was rather
cheeky, to say the least of it. No. Mr.
Norwood, you have accepted the fight,
and you will have to accept the results.
You can come down if you see proper,
but the people are running Gov. Colquitt,
and they will see that he makes the race.
NVe feel sorry for you, but you have made
the bed, and although it may be rough
and uncomfortable, you will have to oc
cupy it.”
A correspondent of the Newnan Herald
thus writes that paper: “Let us now go
a little further and ask was it right, was
it patriotic, to defeat the nomination of
Gov. Colquitt? This claims to be a
Democratic government, and I hope it
has not abandoned the claim. If it is a
Democracy the people have a right to
rule, that is, a majority of the people
have control of the body politic. This
is the very essence of republicanism.
Now how was it in this case? Not o.nly
a majority, but nearly two-thirds of the
people expressed a preference for Col
quitt as the nominee. But the mi
nority of the convention said in sub
stance to the people of Georgia,
you shall not have your choice, you
have presented a good man, a great man,
one to whom we can offer no well
grounded opposition, but you shall not
have him, you must come to us or make
no nomination. Was this right—was
it Democratic? Are the people of Geor
gia to be driven, to be bulldozed in this
manner? God forbid. If this great
commonwealth is still a Democracy, and
if that same spirit of freedom and liberty
still animates her people that has incited
them to action in the past, they will
come up to the polls in October as one
man and give Mr. Norwood such an
overwhelming defeat that independent
ism forever and eternally will be a stench
to his nostrils. ”
Milledgeville Recorder: “This single
fact ought to determine the vote of every
man in Georgia who has any share in
the welfare of his State. Under Gov.
Colquitt’s administration the State is
prosperous, the people happy, and peace
prevails. What may be the Mate of
things if Mr. Norwood and li?s little
band of disappointed office-huntei'8 get
in power, no one can tell. What we
have we know—let us hold fast to it.”

“Was it an agreeable sensation?”
“Perhaps it was more sensational than
agreeable,” was the reply, with a twinkle
in the mild eye and a suspicion of a
smile lurking in the corners of the firm
mouth.
‘Will you be good enough to tell the
readers of the Free Press how the politi
cal sky looks from your point of view? ’
“O!” (moving off a lintle) “I don’t
want to be interviewed now. You are
not doing it, are you? I want to
get politics out of my mind just at pres
ent and address myself altogether to
pleasure.”
Reporter—“I assure you, Senator, I
keenly appreciate your feelings, but
there are a few queutions, answers to
which from you will be read with un
common interest and satisfaction.”
The Senator—“Well, since you are so
;ood natured about it, I don’t know but
might give you a minute’s time. What
would you like to know?”
Reporter—“First, your opinion as to
the issue of the Presidential battle in No
vember?”
The Senator—“I have no doubt that
Hancock will be elected. ”
Reporter—“What about carrying
Ohio, speaking without reference to the
October election?’’
The Senator—“We have a good fight
ing chance to win in that State. The
Republicans are doing everything
their power there. In fact, they seem
almost desperate, but I believe, and I
want to speak calmly and within the
bounds, that we shall make Ohio
Democratic State next November.”
Reporter—“How do matters strike
you in Indiana?”
The Senator—“Even more reassuring
ly. I was talking yesterday—no, yes it
was, too, yesterday—with a gentleman
whom I believe to be the best election
figurer in the county, and he told me that
Indiana was certain to go for Hancock
and English. I have given the October
election little attention, having been ab
sorbed in the broader and more signifi
cant national issue, so far as personal in
terest was concerned, but my own judg
ment, wholly aside from the matter of
sympathy, coincides with that of the
gentleman with whom X talked yester
day.”
Reporter—“Do you think there is any
Democratic hope in Illinois?”
The Senator—“I must confess that
during a recent visit at Chicago I was
surprised to see the feeling in the Demo
cratic ranks. It amounts almost to ex
ultation. They say there that they have
entire confidence in their ability to carry
the State.”
Reporter—“What is your own opinion
as to that?”
The Senator—“It looks to me as if
their confidence had a very good founda
tion.”
Reporter—“How about. Pennsylva
nia?”
The Senator—“There you have me at
a disadvantage. I have not been east of
the mountains since Congress adjourned,
and I know nothing of how the account
stands in Pennsylvania. Neither have I
heard anything concerning that State
from a trustworthy source.”
Reporter—“But in respect to the gene
ral result in November you think ”
The Senator (with great animation)—
“I cannot for an instant doubt the elec
tion of Hancock.”
Reporter—“Shall you enter upon the
active work of the campaign person
ally?”
The Senator—“By all means. I shall
take the stump in Ohio the first of Sep
tember.”
Reporter—“Where do you go next?”
The Senator—“We shall go down to
Put-in-Bay to-morrow."
Reporter—“Do you remain long
there?”
The Senator—“That will depend on
how the folks there are fixed to take care
of us. If we find desirable accommo
dations we may remain several days. At
any rate I am bent on rest and recreation
until my work on the stump begins. Af
ter that time I do not doubt that we shall
all have enough to do.”
that anyone can vote against Gov. Col
quitt without being called an independ
ent in politics, yet the two opposing
candidates stand in this attitude: One is
clearly the choice of the Democrats of
Georgia and was recommended to the
l»eoplc of Georgia by more than two
hundred and twenty delegates—the
others name was not mentioned in con
nection with Gubernatorial honors up to
the adjournment of the convention, and
lie was only put forward to lead the for
lorn hope of the minority who had de
fiantly determined to run 'anybody to
defeat Colquitt.’ The one has been
called incompetent, corrupt a»d the tool
of designing men, and on thia issue he
asks a verdict at the hands of t he people.
These motives prompt him to ask the
suffrages of the people. The otiier hav
ing served as Senator from Georgia for
six 3’ears, retired to private life, and now
comes forth to do what? To answer
the call of the people? No such call
has been made. To give the benefit o£
his splendid ability to engineering the
affairs of the State through the
breakers of danger aDd trouble? No
crisis is on the State and Mr. Norwood
does not possess a higher order of Ability
than many other men. Then why is he
a candidate? The answer is plain—tc
gratify a spite against Governor Colquitt,
not only entertained by himself, but by a
large number of his party. One candi
date seeks to re-establish himself in the
opinion of all good people; the other
seeks to drag that character down. Will
the people aid a good man to maintain
his character, or wiil they aid an oppo
nent to destroy it? This is the issue be
fore the people.”
Col. B. H. Hinton to the Americus
Recorder: “We were for Lester, and
take this opportunity to say that we
have lost none of our admiration for
him, nor has our confidence in his pa
triotism and statesmanship abated. We
hope that not in the far distant future
the people will be as loud in their ac
claim for him as they are now for his
more fortunate rival,'A. II. Colquitt “
“It is amusing,” says the Albany
New, “to see how the anti Colquitt
papers claim a monopoly of virtue, pa
triotism and intelligence of the land.
It would be alarming if it were not so
supremely ridiculous.”
Albany New: “The notorious tele
gram to Mr. Felton is a thorn in the flesh
of the ‘fragmentary minority.' In their
attempt to attach the stigma of ‘disor
ganizers’ and ‘bolters’ to the majority,
this little bid for the leadership of the
great original disorganizer is a matter
not easy for them to explain away. The
Phonograph says that the telegram sent
to Dr. Felton did not mean anything-
that it was only sent to scare the ma
jority—that it was only a joke. Such
amusing playfulness on the part of the
minority is refreshing. They are not,
however, enjoying the joke as much as
they should. It deserves more apprecia
tion at their hands.”
Patrick Henry's G r e a t-G ra n d-
DACGHTER SlCK AND PENNILESS.—Mrs.
Emma Y r oung, the great-granddaughter
of Patrick Henry, is ill ana penniless at
her home in Washington. A week ago
Mrs. Susan J. Henry,the widow of Patrick
llenry, a grandson of the great orator,
died, leaving her daughter alone, ill,
without money, and apparently without
friends. Her illness appears to have
been caused by nervous prostration due
to the nature of the circumstances in
which she finds herself placcJ. Her
father, Patrick Henry, was loyal to the
Union during the war, aud, as his home
was within the Confederate lines, his
property was confiscated. After the war
the family removed to Washington,
where he died seven or eight years ago.
Ilis widow was irregularly employed in
the Agricultural Department. Mrs.
Y'oung’s husband died two years ago,
leaving her with a little daughter, and as
she failed to obtain emploj'ment, the
family means, which were very small,
were soon entirely exhausted. After
her mother’s death Mrs. Young suc
cumbed to overexhaustion. She has not
a penny in the world, and none of her
relatives are in Washington One of her
sisters is living in Kansas, and another
is in an insane asj’lum. The Protestant
Episcopal Church, of which Mrs. Young
is a member, has apparently forgotten
her.
It will be remembered that the citizen
who, in face of the notorious facts con
nected with the Credit Mobilier and De-
Golyer pavement transactions, votes lor
James A. Garfield as President of the
United States, thereby approves of the
system of abusing grave public trusts
and corruptly misappropriating the pub
lic moneys of the countiy, upon which
the entire system of official thieving
rests. Let no man who votes for James
A. Garfield ever complain of the robbery
of riDgs—municipal, State, or National—
because by such a vote he deliberately
sanctions the worst practices of the worst
despoilers.—Forney s Progress, Ind. Rep.

A marriage has just taken place at
Bellefontaine, Ohio, that is the sequel to
a regular love romance. The parties to
the case are one of Logan county’s most
E rosperous and well known farmers, with
is daughter and a young man who lived
with them. The initiatory steps in this
true tale of love took place about three
years ago, when the young foiks, being
thrown constantly together, insensibly
became very much attached to each
other. This love on their part was,
however, looked upon with disfavor by
the father of the young lady for some
unexplained reason, and the young peo
ple were obliged to dissemble. But the
fires of love were not to be quenched by
the mere disapproval of a practical and
obdurate father, and, although not al
lowed to openly show their preference
for each other* or to hold sweet com
munion, they found means to express
their sentiments, although living under
the same roof, by means of letters.
Their correspondence was discovered
by a female servant and the father
notified. He immediately gave his
daughter to understand that such fool
ishness would not be allowed. She
quietly informed him that if she could
not marry the man of her choice she
would commit suicide. Her threats were
laughed at as the ravings of a love sick
girl; but the sequel showed that she was
in earnest, for that night the family were
awakened by groans from their darling's
room. Upon proceeding there she was
found in frightful spasms. Although
conscious she made no concealment,
out frankly stated that she had taken
the poison with the intention of
ending her life and that she did
not wish to live if she had to go through
life separate and apart from the man of
her choice. The poison was strychnia,
acri she was apparently in the last ago
nies of dissolution. Her lover being in
formed of the state of facts, immediately
jumped from bed. and ran two miles to
the village for a physician. This he did
in his bare feet through the mud. For
tunately the physician was at home and
attended immediately to the call. He
arrived at the bedside of his patient be
fore it was too late, and after tea hours’
hard work she was pronounced out of
danger.
After her recovery her father dis
charged the suitor flora his house, but
now has happily relented through the
solicitation and prayers of his daughter,
and the young man, who is in every way
worthy, and the lady have been happily
united. The names of the parties to
this romance, who are thus made happy
after years of waiting and loving, are
withheld through request.
A SUBMARINE DISCOVERY.
Remarkable Formation on the
Southern Coast.
New York Herald.
The officers of the Coast Survey an
nounce the discovery of a submarine
plateau under the Gulf Stream off
Charleston, the existence of which had
not been suspected, but which must ex
ert an important influence on the Gulf
Stream temperature, and also on the-cli-
mate of our southern seaboard. In run
ning a line of deep sea dredgings off
Charleston Commander Bartlett was re
cently surprised to find in the axis of the
great stream depths of from 888 to 450
fathoms only, where it was thought they
would range from GOO to 1,000 fathoms.
This “swell of land,” rising from the
Atlantic bottom, was found stretching
eastward 150 miles between the parallels
of 32 and 324 degrees, at the northeastern
terminus of which the depth of water
suddenly increased from about 450 to
1,386 fathoms.
The submerged ridge projecting from
the Carolina coast must obviously serve
as a fender or bar to deflect from our
Southern seaboard the under flow of
Arctic water coming from Newfound
land, and, by forcing the glacial stream
far to the eastward, it thus allows the
great “river in the sea” to retain its tropi
cal heat, unreduced by commixture with
the polar undercurrent, all the way from
the Gulf to Charleston. This inference
from the recent coast survey soundings
is confirmed by the temperatures of the
Gulf stream on the Admiralty chart,
which shows a decided cooling of the
stream after it passes north of Charles
ton, and also, what is more remarkable,
that in September (when the ocean is at
its warmest) the stream is warmer be
tween Charleston and the Florida chan
nel than it is even in the Gulf itself.
The peculiar topography of the Atlantic
bottom off the Carolina coast, it
would seem, explains also the fact
which has lately excited much
surprise, that the immense June
flow of ice bearing water from New
foundland made no impression on the
temperature of the Southern seaboard.
The summer of 1875, like that 1880,
opened with an exceptionally large num
ber of icebergs moving off the coast
southward; but, contrary to popular
opinion, these ice masses and the swol
len polar stream that bore them had no
effect in lowering the air temperatures
from Nantucket to Florida. Could the
icy water have surged up against the
shore a different result would have been
felt We may therefore conclude that
not only off Charleston, but possibly off
Cape Cod also, there exists a submarine
barrier projecting out into the Atlantic,
intercepting the volume of heavy glacial
water moving southwe3twardly over the
sea bed, and thus securing throughout
summer the extraordinarily high tempe-
iature of eighty degrees, which is ob
served in the western edge of tlie Gulf
Stream all the way from Cape Hatteras
up to Nantucket Shoals.
Sad Domestic Tragedy.
Simon Zimmerman, a German em
ploye of the Western Electrical Works
in Chicago, murdered his wife and then
shot himself Monday morning, but the
tragedy was not discovered until evening.
A brother of Zimmerman heard the cries
of his brother s children, and the doors
leading to their apartments being broken
open, he found his brother and sister-in-
law lying dead on the kitchen floor, both
with bullet holes in their right temples.
The little children,one three years and the
other one year old, had been locked in the
room with their dead parents all day.
The eldest, a boy, when asked what he
saw, said: “Pa did that (action of pre
senting a pistol) and ma fell down.”
Mrs. Miller, living in the room below,
heard a shot about 6:30 o’clock this
morning, but no sound of a quarrel.
During the day, the little boy called to
her from the window, but she paid no
attention to his wants, as she supposed
his mother would attend to them. The
dead husband and wife had sometimes
quarrelled, but he was not considered a
dangerous man. They had been married
six years and were only a little more
than*30 years of age.
A negro who was suspected of sur
