The ConTict Catechism.
A friend has furnished us with a copy
of this incendiary document, which we
understand is being stealthily circulated
among the colored people by the friends
and supporters of Mr. Norwood. De
signed as a low down bid for the negro
vote, it is most skillfully planned to im
pose upon their credulity. It is a spe
cious document, and though it will meet
the scorn it deserves from the intelligent
and law abiding colored citizens, it will
not fail to enlist the sympathies, revive
the hopes and encourage the law defying
enterprise of every negro burglar and thief
out of the chain gang-every one who
fears that “misfortune may overtake him
—who reads it or to whom it may be read.
The aim and animus of this precious
campaign document is disclosed in its
introductory paragraph, which is as
follows
“No man is so high but that misfortune
may overtake him, or some one dear to
him. Remember the present chain gang
system is provided alike tor*men, women
and children who commit crime, whethei
they take another’s life in the heat oj
passion, deliberately plan to rob your
house, or take a loaf of bread to keep a
wife and link one,from starvation. Such
Thomas^ a system is a di3gr.ee to Georgia. The

TAPPING THE W l It ifn•
Latest advices from the Vera Cruz state
that she foundered off the coast of Florida
on Sunday morning at 5:30 o’clock. She
was struck by a cyclone on Saturday after
noon, and the wind Increased with such
violence that the waves dashed over her,
carrying away her upper works and tearing
and shattering her rigging. Her Captain,
Van Sice was one of the first washed over
board, and one by one the sailors working
on deck were can led off. The passengers
and crew provided themselves with life
preservers and whatever they could find
upon which to float, and aw aited the end.
Only thirteen pasengers in all were saved,
and have arrived at Jacksonville. All
others of the seventy passengers and of
the crew are supposed to be lost. Among
the latter was General Alfred T. A. Torbert,
United States Minister to 8an Salvador.
His body was secured and burled. Several
other bodies have been washed ashore, but
were not % identified. Twe wrecks, two
steamers and ten sailing vessels, are re
ported along the coast, and the beach for
one hundred miles is strewn with wrecked
goods of all descriptions. Several bodies
have been found at various points and
buried. No wrecks are reported on the
Florida reef. A very interesting account
of the disaster by Talbot, one of the sur
viving seaineu, Is given In our telegraphic
columns.
The New York stock market was strong
and buoyant on Saturday. The improve
ment In prices ranged from to per
cent. Transactions aggregated 229,467
shares.
About one o’clock on Saturday morning
the Dudley House, a large hotel in Salaman
ca, N. Y., was found on fire. The flames
spread rapidly up and down the streets, and
a conflagration ensued. The total loss Is
estimated at $157,000, and the insurance was
$60,000. The fire Is supposed to have origi
nated from a lamp explosion.
The schooner Emma Lewis, from Havana
for Washington, having lost one of her
crew by yellow fever, and several other ves
sels having been reported as expected there
from that island, the Health Officer of the
District of Columbia has issued an order
declaring that no vessel from Cuba, the
West Indies or South America shall enter
the port of Georgetown or the waters of the
Potomac without having a clean bill of
health.
In the House of Commons Saturday night
Mr. Parnell’s amendment to the appropria
tion bill was rejected. Mr. Dillon’s amend
ment, tacking the compensation for dis
turbance bill ou the appropriation bill, was
rejected. John Bright said, in discussing
the amendment throwing out the Item for
the salaries of the House of Lords, that the
House of Lords was determined to make
war against the Irish people. This utter
ance was pronounced by Mr. Aylmer, Con
servative from Nordstone, to be treason
against the constitution. The amendment
was rejected. Mr. Phillip Callan, Home
Ruler for Louth,. In a speech on some
local grievance, spoke of the “infidel mem
bers of the House, and of the bigoted, In
tolerant Presbyterians.” For this utterance
he was suspended for the remainder of the
sitting. Subsequently the appropriation
bill passed its third reading In the House of
Commons and afterward its first reading in
the House of Lords.
General Roberts telegraphs to London
that Ayoob Khan’s army has been defeated
and dispersed, and that his camp has been
captured.
The Oldham Limited Company’s private
spinners have decided to issue circulars to
test the feeling as to working only four
days in the week. The general feeling of
the operatives is in favor of the strikes.
The extensive migration which has been
threatened has begun by three families start
ing for Fall River, Massachusetts.
Yellow fever has assumed an epidemic
character in the village of San Diego del
Valla, Cuba.
Advices from Mexico state that on the
Doth of August the first preliminary session
of the tenth Congress was dissolved Imme
diately upon opening on account of compli
cations from the results of abuses during
the late election. It is a’so reported that a
conspiracy exists between General Trevino
and General Ord to establish from several
border Mexican States the Republic of Sierra
Madre, for the purpose of annexing the
same to the United States. Also that
number of Protestants in La Latilan, near
Guadalajara, while inaugurating a building
for worship were 6toned by Roman Catho
lics, who were incited thereto by their
priests. Some of the Protestants were as
sassinated, and the priest cynically offered
to confess the assassinated persons.
A fire was discovered in the wholesale dry
goods house of D. R. Dunlap, Nos 25, 2!
and 30 Water street Mobile, yesterday. It
resulted in quite a conflagration before the
flames were finally subdued. A close estl
mate of the loss foots up $350,000.
The weather continues unusually hot in
New York, and several deaths from heat are
reported. At Long Branch yesterday the
thermometer stood at 97.
Latest from the Jamaica cyclone reports
the destruction at Kingston as complete.
Forty-five vessels were lying in the harbor,
and only two escaped damage or destruc
tion. The city Is described as “treeless,
battered and shrouded in the gloom of a
murky morning.”
The fledgling statesmen who defeated
a nomination by the Democratic Conven
tion, and who are now stumping the
State in opposition to the choice of the
majority of that body, modestly assert
that in their judgment Governor Colquitt
is “incompetent.” The people maintain
the contrary. So it sometimes happens
that the verdict of an honest jury is not
in accord with the opinions of counseL
cause of humanity calls on you to assist
in remedying it.” We have italicised
the strong points.
The “catechism” then proceeds to
show that this odious convict system—
which, be it remembered, was adopted
by the Legislature and approved by
Governor Smith, a fact which the au
thor omits to state—is “owned” by ex
Governor Jos. E. Brown, General John
B. Gordon and Alfred II. Colquitt,
who are of course responsible for all its
revolting barbarism, which is set forth
in horrible and disgusting detail, and
that the only way to remedy the evil and
improve the condition of the convicts is
to elect Hon. Thomas M. Norwood Gov
ernor. Extracts arc given from Mr.
Norwood’s speeches to prove how deeply
he sympathizes with those who have been
“overtaken by misfortune,” and whose
only hope of relief is in his election. The
appeal to the “unfortunate” convict class
closes with the following paragraphs:
“Remember, these poor people call
upon you to protect them with your
ballot, which you can do by voting for
Norwood.
‘Can any man doubt that God him
self is in this work, and that the party
now raising the cry for humanity is di
vinely commissioned?”
The “gallant minority” must indeed
have become convinced that their cause
is hopeless. Only the recklessness of
despair could have impelled them to put
forth such an appeal not to the reason
of the intelligent colored voters, but to
the passions and prejudices of the mos*
ignorant and vicious portion of our
colored population.
The “Convict Cateschism” is issued
anonymously and circulated secretly. No
one claims or dares to own its paternity.
None of the Norwood organs print or
endorse it. It is too pernicious in de
sign, too foul and slanderous, for the
columns of the vilest sheet in Georgia
If it could be placed in the hands of
every voter, every honest and intelligent
colored man in Georgia, it would effect
ually defeat the object of its authors,
and add thousands of votes to Governor
Colquitt’s majority in October.
Since the above was written we have
received our telegraphic account of the
joint discussion between Governor Col
quitt and Mr. Norwood at Griffin on
Saturday, in which Mr. Norwood repu
diated and condemned the “Convict
Catechism.” This disclaimer is what
might have been expected from Mr.
Norwood, who may, however, with good
reason, exclaim: “Save me from my
friends!”
An Indiana subscriber to the News,
■writing to renew his subscription, adds:
“The Democracy, I think, is all right
here in Indiana, but the Radicals are
making a desperate effort by the use of
money, and by importing Kentucky
negroes upon us. But I hope the people
f this Slate will resent with proper
spirit all such Radical tricks.”
Barnnm's Still Hunt.
According to a New York correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Times, the appa
rent quiet of 3Ir. William H. Barnum as
contrasted with the rather osleotatiou
activity of the Chairman of the Repub
lican National Committee, does not indi
cate that BIr. Barnum is idle by ary
means. He has gone about unheralded,
and is putting in his work quietly, where
it will “do the most good.” No effort
has been spared to allay differences and
secure thorough organizations in New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and
Mr. Barnum has been in Indiana and
Ohio in person, superintending opera
tions. He is not disposed to waste any
money in trying to carry Maine, or to
reduce ti.e Republican majority in Ver
mont for mere effect; but he does intend
to defend the Democratic possession of
Indiana with vigor, and to carry the
war into Africa by making such an at
tack on the Republican control of Ohio
as will give them all they want to do to
save it in October.
The correspondent has no doubt of
the efficacy of BIr. Barnum’* “still
hunt,” and says that he and English,
between them, have made assurance

may be a doubtful State, but it must be
admitted that the doubt is strongly in

A New Engine of Destruction.—
Captain John Ericsson, the veteran in
ventor, is reported to have perfected his
new torpedo and the means for propel!
ing it with accuracy and force against
any target, and the new projectile is
said to be the most formidable engine
yet invented against ironclads. It is
pretended that several of these weapons
were recently shipped to Peru to l»e used
in the warfare of that State with Chili
Captain* Ericsson's experiments have
been made, in part, at least, under the
au.-pices of the Secretary of the Navy,
and they have so far succeeded that he
is now able to discharge by means of
gunpowder, with reasonable accuracy,
a torpedo charged with 350 pounds of
dynamite in such a way as to insure its
explosion against the sides of an iron
clad. It is claimed that there is no ar
mor-plated vessel in the world that
would not be rent to pieces by the con
cussion of such a tremendous charge of
dynamite. If this be so, and this new
engine piove to be manageable, it will
be the cause of as many revolutions in
the navies of the world as were occa
sioned by the appearance of the monitor
in Hampton Roads in 1862.
Several of the Southern cities show an
increase of business in cotton. St. Louis
exceeds the preceding year by 41 per
cent New Orleans shows an ,increase
of 311,714 bales or 21 per cent. Savan
nah shows a gain of 142,373 bales or 20
per cent Blemphis gained 15,000 bales,
whilst Galveston lost 15,000 bales, Mo
bile 8,000 and Charleston 45,000.
A Washington special says: “Post
master General Key went away from
Washington without giving the Repub
lican campaign committee a cent. They
think it rather shabby that he should do
this, especially a9 he went home to take
a good life office.”
My Friends and Fellow Countrymen : It is
my proud privilege to thus address you. Y ou
are my friends, I trust. as well as my country
mei I know of no act, no word, no thought
of mine which should debar me fiom the privi
lege of claiming the citizens of Columbus as
my friends. I am here at the invitation of
some of your citizens to address you; but it is
to add: ess you as fnend*. I am here to speak,
no* In my own cause, but in the cause of truth
and j os’ice, of harmony and unity, and of that
great State to whose welfare, honor and glory,
we owe. ascit zens. our best and most unselfish
services. Like old Paul to his brethren at
Corinth. I am here to deprecate dissensions
and to bi i you, my brethren of the same house
hold of faith, be reconciled one to another.
[Applause.]
In respect to national politics, it Is a matter
of sincere congratulation that we are practi
cally united: and it wUl be useless to detain
you in the discussion of national issues. Suf
fice it to say that the nomination of Hancock
was the naming of the next President. [Ap-
p auae. 1 Could you have witnessed as I did at
Cincinnati the enthusiasm which his nomina
tion evoked, you would have seen la it the cer
tain presage of the coming victory. [Ap
plause.] As soon as it was demonstrated that
Hancock was the choice of a majority of the
convention, delegation after delegation fell
into line: the banners of the States were borne
to the front; the great brass instruments at
one end of the msinmoth hall pealed forth in
inspiring strains that grand anthem. “Should
old acquaintance be forgot.” the great organ
answered back in grandest melody and the
whole audience, representatives and people,
on floor and galleries, rose as by a com
mon impulse and mingled their voices in
the swelling chorus until the very walls
and arches of that Democratic temple seem
ed to tremble with the impulse that moved
the vast concourse of people. I Applause.]
Nothing ever surpassed that demonstration.
Nothing can ever surpass it in future. Yes.
I mistake, there is a scene in store for us,
which will eclipse it. It will occur when Han
cock i* elected. [Applause.] It will occur
when that true American jubilee shall come—
when sectional animosities and dissensions
shall give place to sectional concord and uuity;
when the North and East and South and West
shall .cease to hate ani learn to love [ap
plau.se i; when all sections, all classes, all
creeds, all colors of American citizens, inspired
by a common love of country, shall recognize
a common interest in a cemmon constitution;
hen the disbanded soldiers of the South and
the disbanded soldiers of the North shall rally
to the same flag, and with fidelity to the union
of equal States which it emblems, shall swear
that in this American brotherhood war and
bloodshed, oppression, wrong! and strife, shall
be n > more. tLoud cheering.] But, as I said
at the outset, it is useless to discuss before this
audience national politics, about which we are
practically united.
1 must turn, therefore, to another field of
discussion in which I am grieved to know we
are not united. I allude, of course, to the State
canvass for Governor I approach this discus
sion with great reluctance, for having retired
myself from office, I had hoped ihe time would
uever come when I should find myself again
in controversy with any citizen of Georgia. I
had hoped that in mv retirement I should carry
with me the good will and friendship of all my
countrymen. < »utside of my own State. North
and South, I believe I can truly say my hopes
in this respect have been abundantly realized.
But strange it is that in my own Slate there
are few men -very few, I am glad to
know—who have never seen anything
worthy of commendation in any act
of mine or in the motive which
prompted it. One of this class of gentlemen
has recently made public in your city the
animosity toward me which he has long
cherished That man was Governor James M.
Smith. Now I never assail a man until he
assails me, but then I make it a rule to go for
him. (Applause ] Governor Smith sought
this city to throw i»ff the bile that has long
lain heavily upon his stomach. His animosity
toward me, of which I have long been ap
prised. Is without the slightest provocation
and absolutely without excuse. Not satisfied
with disparagement upon the street corners
while I was in office, he assails in a public
assembly of the people my motives in retiring
from office.
Ex-Governor Smith, in his public speech de
livered in this hall a few nights since,wishes to
know why I shou d want to retire from 4 one
of the most elevated offices to which a citizen
can aspire ” He does not comprehend how
any man could get his consent to retire volun
tarily from an office. Of course Governor
Smith would never have resigned. He has
just announced that he never does intend to
get out of the office he now holds—that is, he
says he don’t iitend to go out of it until Nor
wood i» elected, and that amounts to the same
thing. (Laughter, cheers and hisses ) Well. I
shall not quarrel with Governor Smith about
his inability to appreciate such an act. Per
haps if I had been a long time trying to get
in'o the Senate without being able to do so I
might also be annoyed that any man would be
willing to give It up. [Laughter ] It is
always puzzling to a hungry man to sec
another person refuse to eat. [Laughter.]
But he says I did it so “clandestinely ’—“not a
suspicion existed” that I would resign. Well,
Governor Smith Is mistaken at>out that also.
It is true that Governor Smith didn't know
anything about my purpose: for not having
gone into office with his consent, I did not
think it incumbent on me to get his permission
to go out of it. [Laughter ] But there were very
mauy men in Georgia, and out of it, as patriotic
aud as incorruptible as Govornor Smith, who
have known for a very long time of my pur
pose to retire from public life, who advised
that course and applauded that purpose. Does
Governor Smith know the Hun. Martin J.
Crawford, your own distinguished towusman
and incorruptible jurist? If he will ask Judge
Crawford, be will learn from him more than
twelve months ago I told him of my purpose to
resign, and received from h m the encourage
ment of a friend to do so. Has he
e\er heard of the Hon. Sam Barnett, one of the
Railroad Commissioners of Georgia, or of
Judge Bleckley, who also recently resigned
very suddenly, and I presume Governor Smith
would Fay “clandestinely,” as Judge Bleckley
did not consult him as to what he should do?
ff Governor Smith thinks it his special preroga
tive to take earn of my conscience ana inquire
into my motives, and if he will consult either
of those gentlemen or a good many others, he
might have his gre it grief on account of Gen.
Gordon somewhat assuaged. [Great laughter,
applause and biases. I
But Governor Smith says I ought to have told
the people kindly why 1 found it necessary to
resign. Well, I thought I had told them kind
ly, very plainly, in my letter of resignation. I
don't think there is anything very obscure or
very unkind in that letter. Let us see. Here
it is and I will read it:
ICopy of Letter of Resignation ]
Senate Chamber. Washington, D. C.. May
14. 1880.—To His Kccellency, Governor A. H.
Colquitt, Atlanta, Ga.—Sir: I hereby tender
my resignation as United fctates Senator from
Georgia.
In taking this step 1 am simply earn ing out
a long cherished desire to retire from public
life, I have hitherto subordinated that desire
to a sense of duty, and to a reluctance to leave
the service of a generous and noble people
who have honored roe with the most exalted
station, and supported me in the discharge of
its duties with the most unswerving confidence.
Since April, 1881, for nearly twenty years,my
life lias been of incessant anxiety and great
labor. More than one half of that long period
has been devoted to what I conceived to be the
welfare of the South, and the best interests of
the whole country.
And now that the restoration of South Caro
lina and Louisiana to the rights of self-govern
ment secures to the whole South her full and
rightful representation in the legislative de
partment of the Federal Government, it leaves
me free to consult my inclinations and the im
perative duties of my family without detriment
to the public service. I give way to some succes
sor who, I trust, may serve the country with
greater ability, but who I am sure can iot do
so with greater q-.vetion nor purer motives.
I am, with great respect, your olmdient ser-
unkind in that letter. It contains thetrnth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
But this does not satisfy Governor Smith. Fel
low citizens, do you think that it would have
been quite so hard to satisfy Governor Smith
about my resignation if Governor Colquflt bad
appointed him to the vacancy? [Laughter.]
Do you think if Governor Smith had been ap :
pointed United Status Senator he would have
ever complained of uiy reasons for resigning,
or have ever mado the harsh, unjust and un-
un war ranted assaults to which you listened a
few nights since? I leave you to answer. But
he says I resigned only a short time before the
end of the session, and he does not understand
that. No, it does not suit his purpose to under
stand it; and I want to whisper it to you, that
it is a matter of the most perfect indifference to
me whether lig understands it or not. [Ap
plause. ] But to you. fellow citizens, who are not
angry because the Senatorial lightning failed to
strike you, to you who did not expect to be
Senators, and are therefore not disappointed,
to you who are ready to listen to reason and
want to do justice. I am glad of an opportunity
to again leil you. I have already done in
published speech months ago. why I resj-
only a short while before the end
session. . . I
[General Gordon here related the circum
stances of his resignation and purpose to
accept an arraugem*>ut in Oregou, t)ie reason
why it became necessary for him to decide
upon the matter just when he did, his resigna
tion in consequence thereof, and the changes
made in his plans after his resignation which
enabled him to remain in Georgia. He then
proceeded as follows:]
There are one or two other points in Gover
nor Smiths a^ault to which I call your atten
tion.
He says I was in the face of the eneiqy, and
be asks why did 1 lay down my “commission
and retire from the contest beioro tfle battle
closet! ? " Now. follow-citizens, before answer
ing that qu**stion I wish to ask you one. Don’t
you think if you had laid down a commission
in the presence of a real enemy with guns in
their hands, say about 1863. in order to find a
bomb proof place in the Confederate Congress,
you would h*ve been a little cautious how you
assailed other men for laying down civil com
missions? [Cheeis, laughter and hisses.]
Now. 1 have nothing to say about Governor
Smith’s going to Congress in order to get out
of the army. It was very natural for him to
want to go there- Congress was a much safe r
place to be in about 1863 or ’51 and the sprj“g
of o5. There was more money in Congress,
mure food, more comfort and a good deal less
danger, [Laughter.] I do not say this to ex
cite indignation toward Governor Smith, but
only to caution people who live in very thin
glass houses not to be throwing stones around
promiscuously. [Great laughter and cheering.]
No w.you are all my witnesses that I have never
made any refereno©* to my service in the army
so long as I was a candidate. I never spoke of
my record in order to get votes, and J would
not refer to it now but for the inexcusable
warfare which Governor Smith has seen fit to
make upon me. But as be has called in ques
tion my patriotism ana sought to prejudice me
before the country by reference to Uiy laying
down a civil commission, I may be permuted
to say that whatever other commissions I have
gorrendcred I never laid down the one which
called me to your defence from 1861 to 1*5. I
did not lay that down in 1*3, *'before the bat
tle had ended.” [Great laughter and cheers.]
That is one of the commissions « hich not even
a seat in the Confederate Congress could
tempt me to lay down. [Great laughter ]
That commission wag given me by a struggling
S verument and It was Dover laid down until
it young republic itself went down in gloom
and glory. [Loud cheering.]
But why should I not have lain down my
civil commission Just when I did? Can any
an give a sensible reason why? Was there
any struggling country which specially needed
my services in those two weeks? What great
public measure vis to be settled in I hose two
weeks? What danger confronted you id those
two weeks? Was not every Southern State re
stored to the Union? Was not the autonomy
of all these commonwealths perfect. Did not
peace reign in all our borders. >V as not the
bo7er of the Senate and the power of
House pledged to your protection* 1 grant
you that no Southern Representative to whom
the people had special confiderce. could with
propriety resign as long as the South was still
fa the azoDV of reconstruction. But such was
not the situation when I resigned. Toe South
era States had all leased from beneath the
yoke. Georgia, Alabama, Texas. Tennes
see one after another they were all
relieved until at last the shackles fell from
the limbs of Louaiana and South Carolina.
[Cheers ] And the whole Southern sister
hood was raised from its ashes. coUied
with sovereignty, and seated at liberty®
proud, grand and free. [Loud cheers., Then
why should I have remained two weeks longer
without any possibility of doing a service to
yor and with great loss and inconvenience to
me > There is no reason for it. Then why all
this bellowing and blaster? Why all this effort
to misrepresent me before the country, for
whose interests and honor and liberty I have
watched for nearly a quarter of a century?
[Applause ] I repeat that I only make refer
ence to these personal matters because of the
unprecedented and unpardonable warfare
made upon ine by Governor Smith and a few
others. But let him do his worst. He will
not succeed in creating a prejudice against
me among this people; for these men and God
are my witnesses that from the time I enlisted
in 1*1. till I retired, in 1980, I have labored
with all the powers which God has given me
for the protection, the peace and freedom of
these Southern States. [Great applause and
biases.] .
[At tnis point the disturbance which had re
peatedly been made was so great that it drowned
the speaker's voice. Mayor Wilkins arose and
requeued the audience to allow the speaker to
proceed. He said that General Gordon was a
gentleman, and had been invited here by citi
zens of Columbus, and he hoped there would
be no further disturbance. We regret t<> say
that Mayor Wilkins’ request was cot complied
with, though it had a good effect in stopping
it to some extent The speaker thanked the
Mayor, and proceeded as follows:]
I come now to a question of great interest to
us all. What is your duty and mine in the
coming election for Gouemor? [A voice. “Vote
for Norwood!”] My opinion is that it is your
duty to yourselves and to your State to vote
for Alfred H. Colquitt. [Applause.] but as
you differ with me, let us reason tt»gether as
friends. Let prejudice for the time perish. Let
passion die and reason live. Let the spirit of
an unselfish patriotism preside over our delib
erations, ana let personal animosities be ban
Uhed io order that justice may be done. [Ap
plause.] Why should you not vote for A1 red
H. Colquitt? You siy because he paid the
Alston fee. Why is it called the Alston fee*
Colonel Alston was but one of the many law
yers employed in the case. Some of the
best in Georgia were associated as coun
sel. Among them were General Darling
ton and General Henry R. Jackson, of
the firm of I aw ton, Jackson & Basinger,
of the city of Savannah. Is it to be supposed
that such illustrious citizens and upright men
would have accepted the paymeut of this
money if it were a wrong or fraudulent fee?
Such a supposition would be monstrous. But
why call it the Alston fee? Is it because Col.
Alston is dead and his tongue cannot speak:
There is no man living who knows any more,
if as much as I do about this entire case 1
wrote and introduced the bill to pay back to
Georgia a portion of the money which had
been collected by the United States Govern
ment from Georgia after the war for the use
of the Western and Atlantic Railroad and the
sale of cars and engine*. I was a member of
the Military Committee to which it was re
ferred. In connection with Colonel Alston
I induced that committee to recommend
its passage. I fought for it on the
floor of the Senate and followed it to the
House of Representatives. I remained - in
Washington after its passage, laboring with
the War and Treasury Departments to induce
them to pay the money. And in answer to
tlie charge that Col. Alston did but little ser
vice, I tell you that but for his pers stent and
long continued efforts that bill would never
have become a law. There was not a member
of the Congress who believed that the Govern
ment of the United States could ever be In
duced to re-open an account on which they
had received the money and given receipts,
and readjust the accounts and return the
money to Georgia. If any lawyer in this city
thinks the fee of 25 per cent., agreed on by
Gov. Smith and the attorneys, was a*i extrava
gant one, let him undertake to get through
Congress a similar one for other railroads.
[A voice—It was 12W percent] No.sir.it
w«.s not 12Vf per cent. The contract with Gov
ernor Smith was that commissions should be
paid, not to exceed 2> per cent. There are a
number of other railroads in Georgia with
similar claims. If you think 25 per cent,
agreed on by Governor Smith and paid by
Governor Colquitt was too much, undertake a
similar bill at that rate. Try it. Pay your
own expenses in Washington until you get the
bi]l through,and you will wishthatlyou had con
tinued your practice in Georgia. But Gover
nor Colquitt s enemies charge that the money
should have gone into the Treasury and have
rem lined there until the Legislature met and
appropriated it. Such is not the law. Every
attorney Is entitled to his fee first, and after
deducting his fee, the remain *er belongs to his
client. But this whole case is so plainly and
fully stated by Governor Colquitt himself, in
his address to the i»eople, that 1 need not dwell
any longer upon it.
I come next to the indorsement of the North
eastern Railroad bonds. Governor Smith
severely criticises Governor Colquitt for thus
act. But in doing so he is in conflict with
General Toombs. General Lawton, Hon. A. O
Bacon. Speaker of the House of Representa
tivesut the time the resolution upon which
Governor Colquitt relied pas-ed the legisla
ture. Governor Smith is al o to conflict with
T. J. Simmons, of the Superior Court, and at
the time the resolution was passed presided
over the Senate, and a]so in conflict with
nearly every lawyer of prominence who was
consulted on the subject. But Gover
nor Smith places his chief obj-ction to
Colquitt's indorsement on the ground that
Attorney General Hammond, the former
Attorney General of the State, had advised
against the indorsement. Well, If Attorney
Hammond's opinion ought to have controlled
Governor Colquitt, who did not appoint him to
office, it certainly ought to have controlled
Governor Smith, who di i appoint him to office.
Mr. Hammond was Governor Smith's legal
adviier when he was in the Executive chair.
Mr. Hammond was not Governor Colquitt's
legal adviser, since ho occupied that chair.
Govornor Colquitt’s legal adviser (Major Ely)
did not advise attainst Governor Colquitt's
indorsement of the Northeastern Railroad
lKinds, and Governor Colquitt therefore, with
the advice of the ablest counsel, gave the in
dorsement. Governor Smith's legal adviser
did advise him not to indorse the bonis of the
North and South Railroad, but Governor Smith
turned a deaf ear to his legal adviser and in
dorsed them notwithstanding. Governor
Colquitt, with the advice of ahle lawje r s,
indorsed for a broad gauge rood at the rate
of $6,000 per mile. Governor Smith, con
trary to the adv.ee of his own Attorney Gen
eral. indorsed for a narrow gauge road to
the amount of $12,0l>0 a mile. Gov. Colquitt's
indor.-»ement never cost the State one dollar in
money. Gov. Smith’s indorsement cost the
State the loss of nearly nr qujte a half million
dollars [Cries of “Give it to him,” “Hurrah
for Gordon,” “Hurrah for Smith.” Laughter
and hisses.] Gov. Smith indoreed for the
North and South Road to the extent of 1240.-
000 in all. Two hundred thousand of this was
lost as principal, besides the interest for twenty
years on the bonds which you are bound to
pay. But tflis is not all. Gov. Smith indorsed,
against the advice of the Attorney Generator
another railroad, narrow gauge at that, called
the Memphis Branch up here at Roniu. and he
lost the state nearly every dollar of that money.
[Laughter.] This railroad has long since gone
•where the woodbine twineth." [(.'reat laugh
ter, cheers and hisses ] It is among the
things that were. I Laughter.] There is not
a car* n^r engine, nor bar of iron,
nor cross-tie left to mark the place
where it once was. [Laughter ] Colquitt,
according to Governor Smith, is a very week
Governor. Well. I am glad he has left no such
monument of strength as this lApplause.]
I rejoice that he was not strong enough to
brave the advice of his own Attorney General
and pocket such a loss for Georgia. [Great ap
plause. j Oh, my countrymen, what do you
think Of this warfare made upon Governor
Colquitt by an ex-Governor who indorses one
narrow gauge railroad for $240,000, and then
buys it in for $40,000— [cheers and hisses]—and
who indorses for another narrow gauge road
and loses it all except the pittance for which
the iron and cars sold, leaving nothing el»^
save the bare and gullied earth where it once
was. | Loud cnee ring]
But another reason assigned by Governor
Smith for assailing Governor Colquitt, is what
he calls the abuses of the convict system.
Now Governor Smith is as unfortunate in bis
reference to this, as ho was the indorsement of
railroad bonds: for he is himself the high
f inest of the whole system. [Laughter.] Now.
nasruuch as Governor Smith endeavored to
capture the colored vote by this attack upon
Governor Colquitt, I am resolved that these
colored people slia l know the truth about
this matter. [Cries of “that's what we want to
hear,” from the colored gallery 1 I am glad to
see you here, my colored friends; for as this
matter was introduced here by ex-Governor
Smith. I want you to know upon whom the re
sponsibility fur the law and the contracts under
it rests. Didn't you think the other night
when Governor Sqiith was speaking that this
responsibility rested on Colquitt? [Cries of
“jdV’ and “no.’’j Well I am here to proveto
you that Governor Colquitt hat no more to do
with the passage or the signing of that
law. nor with contracts made under
it than one of these colored men in
the gallery. [Cries of “who did sirn it?”l
James Milton Smith approved the law and
m<ide the contracts. [Great applause.] Here
is the book which contains the law. I want you
to get this book, laws for 1876, aud in pages 40,
41, 42, 43, 44 and 45—on the last page you will
find the words, “Approved Febraary 25. 1876.’’
This you know was nearly a year Wore Col
quitt became Governor, and you know also
that the name of the gentleman who was Gov
ernor before Colquitt was smith. [Great
laughter.] You know another thing, that this
Governor Smith could have "vetoed that law if
he had not approved It. [That’s so!” from the
colored gallery .] Now, I repeat that 1 should
never have referred to this matter but for the
effort of Governor Smith to prejudice, by his
own reference to it. these white people and
these intelligent colored people [great laugh
ter! against Colqujtt. Well, my white friends,
do I need to apologize to you for not referring
to you as intelligent? Is it necessary for me to
use an adjective In speaking of this people,
whose culture, high breeding and refinement!i
known wherever the name of Columbus is
k nown * [Loud applause. ]
But, says Gov. Smith, if there are abuses
Colquitt is responsible for them. Well let us
Soe about that. Here are the documents, the
public records. They tell the whole story, and
that story is that the death rate has decreased
under Colquitt nearly one-half; that more
deaths occurred in every hundred of the con
victs in the best years of Smith's a dm ins t ra
tion than occurred under the worst years of
Colquitt's administration. [Loud applause
and hisses ] My friends, your hJsees will not
avail you. They are not half so dangerous as
the hissing of niinnie balls [great applause],
and I intend to get the facts before this people,
if 1 have to stand here all night. [ Applause.J
Besides, your hisses will not change the re
cords of the overwheto ing vindication they
furnish of Alfred Colquitt; and J rejoice that
the evidence uf his integrity and efficiency and
wisdom is not the we dixit of myself or of
any other man, but that evidence is furnished
in the permanent records of bis State. [Loud
cheers and hurrahs for Colquitt.]
But Governor Smith makes his climax against
tho present administration, when he charges
that Governor Colquitt does nut preach to tho
convicts. [Laughter and applause.] Of all the
marvelous things which nave transpired to
thu marvelous campaign, the most remarka
ble and farcical the spectacle of James Mil-
,0 n Smith lecturing Alfred H. Colquitt upon
lqs duty as a Christian. (Great laughter and
cheering.] Why, l thought the charge against
Colquitt was that he spent too much time run
ning around to Sunday schools, and was neg-
lectieg on this account his duty as Governor;
but it seems that this was all a mistake, and
that the real complaint is that he did
not do enough running about. [Laugh
ter. 1 . Fellow-citizens, it would take forty
of me best lawyers In Georgia to tell what
Governor Colquitt's opponents would have
him to do. In one breath, he is wasting too
much time on religion, and in the next he is
not wasting enough. [Laughter and applause.]
Well, that Is about on a parallel with another
criticism made by Governor Smith on Alfred
Colquitt. He s*ys In one portion of his speech
that Colquitt is “very weak.” He says in an
other that Gordon and Colquitt went about
the State making speeches, and that they thus
secured a majority of the convention. He then
adds that the wonder is that the convention
was not unanimous—that we did not get every
body. Now, does it not occur to you, my
friends, that by Governor Smith's own state
ment he is making of this 1 weak” Governor
about the strongest one that ever appeared
before the public? [Applause.]
But there is one thing which Governor Smith
says occurred to this recent campaign before
the people to which he especially seems to ob
ject. He says that I spoke of Colquitt as
"floating the banner of the King of Kings' and
os being at OiusUe. Well. I did not make any
such reference in the connection to which he
puts It. but I suppose that is a matter of uo
consequence to Governor Smith. (Laughter.]
I di 1 refer to Governor Colquitt as a Christian
and a soldier; but I did not intend by that re
ference to make any reflections upon Governor
Smith. [Great laughter.j I did refer to Gov.
Colquitt as a Christian. I did say. and I re
peat it here, that I did not think it was evi
dence of weakness in any Executive to seek
strength and wisdom in the government of a
great commonwealth from the source of all
strength and all wisdom. [Applause.] 1 did
say. and I repeat it, that I believe the patriotic
people of Georgia, whether professors of re
ligion or rot, would join in the expression of
the hope that the day was far distant when it
should be thought inconsistent for the occu
paut of any, the most exalted, political station
to ie*OTnize his duty to his God. [Loud ap
plause. L
1 did not say that Governor Colquitt was at
Olustee. I did say that he was the hero of
that great battle, and that notwithstanding
the shots fired at hixn then and the hot shots
of this political warfare, the hero of Olustee
still lives. [Great cheering.] I said then, ani
I repeat here, that from every drop of blood
drawn from his veins in this political warfare
there would spring a champion strong, bold,
invincible. [Cheers j
But, fellow citiz-ns, I cannot follow Gover
nor Smith through all his charges agiinst
Governor Colquitt, nor is it at all necessary.
Th*-y are the same charges that were made
and met before the people prior to the late
election for delegates. Besides, they have
been abundantly refuted to the address of
Governor Colquitt to the people just published.
Suffice it to say. that there is noi an act of his
administration which, submitted to fair and
unprejudiced discussion for which he can be
held justly resji nsible, that does not merit
your approval. One or two general observa
tions. and I close.
One is that this ought to be called the cam
paignagainst “motives.” It is the first cam
paign I have ever heard or read of in this
country in which the unfounded suspicion of
bad motives for good acts furnished one of the
E 'me reasons for condemning. I do not ob-
t to the most critical ferutiny into the pub-
acts of public men. That is proper and es
sential to the preservation 01 liberty; but
whenever the doctrines of this campaign be
come tl e established political methods under
this government it will be a dark day for
America.
Of all the black and bloody chapters in his
tory. the blackest and bloodiest of all the ages,
civilized or barbaric, are those which record
the condemnation of men upon causeless sus
picion. It was this which at one period filled
France and England with prisons, arrests, con
victions, death and terror. Of course I do not
fear that any such experience is ever to be
ours; but I do sav that such a doctrine Is ab
horrent to every instinct of American man
hood, to every lesson of Holy Writ and to the
genius of our free ir stitulions, [Great ap
plause.] No hyperbole can exaggerate the
tolly or introducing such methods into our poli
tics, and no condemna'ion by the people can
be to 1 swift and overwhelming, [t'heers ]
My countrymen, this war on Governor Col
quitt is all wrong. It is a wrong to the State,
it Is a wrong to you, a wrong to our politics
and form of government; for to teach the
young men of the country that such methods
are justifiable in political contests is to drive
the best men from public life, to bring disrepute
on popular government, and thus to stab popu
lar liberty. [Great applause ]
But who is your Executive that he should be
thus pursued and persecuted? You have known
him from his bojhood. In his youth he was
held up as an example for young men. In his
early manhood he was obej-ing the call of his
country- and following its flag in Mexico as it
floated over Monterey, Chepultepec and Cheru-
buseo. [Cheers.] Where was he next? Sent
to Congress from Southwest Georgia almost
before he was old enough to take his seat.
Where next? Leaving Congress with one of
the best records ever made by one of his age,
he declined a nomination tendered Uy accla
mation. Where next? Again at the front when
'he war of 1861 camu Yes, Alfred Colquitt
was at tl;a front from 1661 to 1865, where bul
lets flew and blood flowed [cheers], and where
proud patriotism made her monumeiits in the
bo lies of her dead heroes. [Cheers. ]
Where next? At the head of the Agricultu
ral bociety. giving hLs time, talents and ener
gies to the development of that great Interest
upon which all others depend. [Applause j
Where next? Chosen by the unanimous
voice of the representatives of tbe people to be
your Governor, and elected by an unprecedent
ed majority. What of his administration'.
Look at the results. Your floating debt paid
off. your standing debt decreased, your taxes
greatly reduced, your credit at a higher point
than has ever been reached since Georgia was
a colony. [Loud cheering.] What thiuk you,
my countryman. tho warfare made upon
such a man? What think you of tho effort to
stain the reputation of such a citizen? [Cries
of hurrah for Colquitt.]
Fellow citizens, the war did not leave us
much. It left us the bare soil, the balmy air
and the blue sky, which a benignant God still
bends above us; bat it left us little else than
these heaven given blessings and untarnished
honor. [Loud applause. ] Will you seek to rob
Alfred H. Colquitt of that priceless boon of an
honorable name which is above price, higher
than office, better than property, dearer than
life? (Cheers and biases- a voice, “He has
brought it on himself.”] Sir, you are not the
man to whom I addressed the question. I am
talking to these men who have characters to
lose and who know what character is worth.
(Great laughter and cheers.] Ye men of Mus
cogee county, are you going to lend yourselves
to such a crusade as this? I do not believe
it. I cannot believe it. Bring this
question home to your own hearts and
Hearthstones. Think of it as you look Into the
faces of your wives and children. I know not
how others may feel; but as for me, God grant
that this right arm may wither in its socket
and this tongue become palsied and speechle.^s
rather than I should become a party to an un
just warfare upon any man. [Cheers,] God
grant that at least I may never contribute to
the pulling down of the reputation of any one
of those brave men who wore ready to give
»roperty and fife for conscience and country.
Loud cheers.]
But, fellow-citizens, I have done. May these
unfortunate dissensions not break tbe friend
ships which have existed among you. May
better and wiser counsels prevail. May peace
and projperity be the lasting heritage of each
and all of you. and may Alfred Colquitt ^be
elected by f.U.000 majority. (Loud and pro
longed cheering and hurrahs for Colquitt and
Norwood.]

Address at
DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN
FINGHAM COUNTY.
EF
Nomination of Colonel Edward Bird
for Iteprosontatlve—Speeches from
Messrs. Lester and Garrard—Col.
Morsan Hauls’ Successful Vindi
cation of Governor Colquitt.
6FRINGFIELP, Gx., September 1.—Editor
Morning News: According to previous appoint
ment, the citizens of Effingham county as
sembled at the court house for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for the Legislature.
Notwithstanding the inolemency of the
weather, a large number of voters were pre
sent. The house being called ts order, reso
lutions were adopted to govern the meeting.
Several names were put to nomination, and
the Chair announced that the house proceed
at once to ballot. Colonel Edward Bird
ceived a majority of the votes on the second
ballot, and was declared the nominee.
Knowing that Messrs. Lester and Garrard
were on the ground, a committee was appoint
ed to wait on the gentlemen and give them an
opportunity to speak. In a few minutes Mr.
Garrard appeared and excited the sympathy
of the audience bv stating that he wai labor
ing under physical indisposition. After making
a few remarks upon the Gubernatorial
Convention of August 4, ho proceeded to
abuse and slander Governor Colquitt and
his administration. These abuses lid not take
the desired effect, and cries of “Enough, sit
down,” and so ou. were soon heard.
Mr.|Lester then rose to continue the discus
sion. Although Mr. Lester touched upon some
of the so-called charges against Governor Col-
a uitt. he was not so severe in his criticism.
low can he be severe without being incon
sistent with his own actions? We have had
the pleasure of hearing Colonel Lester on sev
eral occasions; but never have we seen him so
embarrassed and restless while speaking. He
has “a hard row to weed” (and he knows it)
when he attempts to persuade the voters of
this county to desert General A. H. Colquitt.
Mr. Lester concluded with a short eulogy upon
Hon. T. M. Norwood.
As Mr. Lester was retiring Colonel Morgan
Rawls was called for. and after repeated calls,
he very reluctantly came forward, stating at
the outset that be was not prepared to debate
this question with the gentleman, por to say
anything in opposition to Mr. Norwood, He
did not wish to do this, for he aud Mr. Norwood
(also Mr. Lester) have been, and are vet. good
friends, and he desired this good feeling to
continue. “Gentlemen, do you think a coun
try cracker should enter Into a discussion with
Savannah lawyers ?
But, my countrymen,
worthless is the man who won't assort his own
rights in his own premises.' These gentlemen
have said things tnat may appear to some of
rou indisputable, but I don't believe a word of
t. Why is it that these charges have been
made only in the past three or four month*. ♦
Why not before? When Governor Colquitt
had been to office two years why was he
allowed to remain and all other
officers re-elected ? Some of the offenses
with which he is now charged had already
transpired. Why was he not turned out ? It could
have been done. Again, how is it that Mr.
L., who. as President of the Senate, appointed
A committee to to^es* (gate Governor Colquitt's
administration, which committee acquitted
bim, is now charging the Governor witn mis
demeanor.”
The Colonel then referred to the action of
the minority to tbe convention, showing what
a blunder it made in its proceedings. The mis
take M r Norwood made was in accepting the
nomination from a committee of ‘ eleven
men!”—one less than enough “to convict a
common cow thief”—and yet this committee
of eleven places a man before the people of
Georgia as a candidate for Governor. If this
had been the action of the whole mi
nority, it would have been a little better,
but here is a minority of a minority selecting
a man, and that man one of the eleven—not a
sufficient number to put on a “petit jury.”
The Colonel, after stating the mgqy reasons
he has for supporting *Gov, Colquitt, took his
seat, as it was i&te, and he did not have time
to spier fully into a discussion. Effingham
will give A. Bu Colquitt a majority iq October,
The Macon Telegraph and Messenger ol Sat
urday states that on Friday night a crowd,
variously estimated at from 500 to 1,000,
assembled In front of the court house to
hear Gen. A. R. Lawton, of Savannah, upon
the political Issues of the State.
The meeting was called to order by Air.
R H Flanders, upon whose motion Jud^e
R. F. Lyon was made Caairman of the
meeting. Responding to the call which was
made upon him, Judge Lyon took the stand,
and In a ten minutes speech gave a concise
account of the Atlanta convention and the
issues now before the people. In con
cluding his remarks, he introduced the
orator of the evening,
GENERAL A. R. LAWTON.
Gen. Lawton was greeted with a cannon
salute, and a ringing cheer as he advanced
to the front. R-j did not delay, but to nse
his language plunged at once into the “busi
ness” of the meeting.
lie eaid that a few weeks past two con
ventions bad met. The first was in Cincin
nati, in which he had the honor in part of
representing the great State of Georgia.
This was tbe convention which gave to
the people of the U nlted States as their
staudaru bearers Hancock and English.
[Applause.] The convention, he said, was
marked by a self-sacrificing spirit never be
fore witnessed. It was not a struggle of
men for a position, but each State delega
tion was anxious to find out the man upon
whom all could centre. True Democracy is
ready at all times to sacrifice men for prin
ciples. [Applause ] He himself had in
this convention a preference, Francis Bay
ard, but the name of that grand hero states
man. Winfield Scott Hancock, was pro
nounced—he who lu battle was foremost,
yet knew when the battles were ended bow
to beat the sword into the plowshare—Han
cock ! when that name was pronounced,
in common with all others, gladly turned to
him.
But lately there had met in Atlanta
convention In which all ineu of Georgia
were interested; a convention for the nomi
nal UK of Governor. Tnis was, perhaps, of
more importance to us than even the elec
tion of a President, for the nearer govern
ment comes the more Important it is to us.
Why this meeting ? Why did not the con
vention result as four years ago? When
Georgia was a unit she could stand aTone
and uefeud herself against the carpetbag
ger, scalawag, and poverty; but, alas, we
have fallen upon evil times. [Applause.]
Men seek office, not the office the man, anu
the traffic in office has come upon us again;
the claims of office have become personal.
[Applause. [
Reviewing the convention, the speaker
said it bad made no nomination, and the
people therefore owed allegiance to none.
That the convention, however, had made
its own law, its own constitution, as it had
the right and power to do, and that law
hecam-j the imperative law of the conven
tion, and bound every man therein upon
bouor to carryout its Intention; and thzt
no man, unless nominated under the laws
adopted, had any honorable right to offer
himself as a candidate for the suffrages of
the people. [Applause].
Alfred H. Colquitt announced through his
friends that he would accept the terms pre
scribed and would not accept tbe nomina
tion unless tendered him by two thirds of
the convention. He did not get It, and
when he offered himself to the people as a
oanriidate, he broke his pledged word.
[Applause.]
ine recommendation of a majority did
not nominate; nothing bat two-thirds could
do so: and this fact was acknowledged by
the convention in the nomination of State
officers. By every dictate of honor, by that
sentiment which forbids one man to look
another in the face after he has broken a
pledge, Colquitt could not come before the
people. [Applause.] The people must see
to It that the chair which holds tbe Gover
nor of Georgia be not filled by a man who
pledged his word and broke it. [Applause.]
The campaign seems to have been con
ducted on the supposition that Colquitt
should be Governor unlees we could show
why he should not. Where did Alfred H.
Colquitt get the right to serve upon the
people a rule nUtf It is the other wav. He
is called upon by the proprieties of official
station to eay that haring served out the
four years allotted him by the constitution,
and which by a technicality he escapee, he
sbou'd come before tbe people and, thank
ing them, retire. He did not have the man
hood to do so. What has been the tower
ing success of his administration that we are
Indebted to him for? We have not seen it.
If he had been willing to go out, wc would
have thrown over his official life the mantle
of charity and tried to forget. But he has
determined to beard the people of Georgia,
and we will meet bim. [Applause ]
In giving the history of the proposed
clause in the new constitution which, If
adopted, would have cut off Colquitt two
years ago, the speaker produced a laugh by
saying, “ I had no opinion of Colquitt one
way or the other. 1 mean I regarded him
as a negative man, whose acts depended al
together upon whose hands befell into.”
He said that he had never done Colquitt an
unkind act, Dor had given Colquitt a chance
to do him one; that Colquitt had at the far
thest but a small modicum of capacity for
any office. He opposed the clause alluded
to because it would have cut him off in the
midst of his official term after he had been
elected to it. But his four years had
expired. Was there no delicacy in
bim to retire after what had been
said and done? Was there no pressure
upon him ? Ah, had he said to the people,
“I have been honored beyond any measure,
now 1 yield up my trust, for though techni
cally qualified, I cannot consent to stand for
another term, with tbe people so strongly
against me,” we would have passed him
over and forgotten the wrong. What did
he say ? “I >ah*1 be elected. I must have
my character vindicated.” Gentlemen, are
wo called upon to give men character and
and then position ? [Cheers and laughter.]
Cnlquitt has fallen Into the most unfortu
nate bauds that ever dandled a political
infant—Joe Brown’s most UDboly alliance—
Joe Brown, whose last act before his retire
ment was to elect Bullock, and whose first
touch upon the political pulse after Colquitt
brought him forward again, has caused eve
rything to go wrong.
An orator of the Colquitt school has said
that Brown was the greatest man God has
ever made, and that hie appointment, if
nothing else, would have made Colquitt
famous. Brown is a man of brains, said a
Southern Senator to me the other day, but
tbe question Is, can you depend on him? It
is not now a question of ability, but of
character. [Applause. | Why, gentlemen,
I doubt not but that there are men here
who believe that Brown has secured $100,000
for the city of Savannah. He has not. The
money the city has received was voted It by
the committee before Brown was appointed
and confirmed by Congress afterward. All
Brown did was to try to have it Increased,
but he failed. And the great Mexican vete
ran speech accomplished nothing. People
North say it killed the bilL It was merely
an opportnnity employed to advertise him
self all over the State. Mr. Brown’s ap
pointment was so arranged as to give him
time to make campaign speeches.
I consider the present situation due to
Joseph E. Brown, and felt bound to allude
to him. Did the people think him so im
mortal ? What Legislature in the last fif
teen years would have nominated him ?
Not one. Then Colquitt’s appointment of
him is an unenviable distinction. Brown
controlled tbe majority of the last conven
tion by a wave of his hand. He was chief
in all movements.
In discussing Brown the speaker further
said: “Ability without worth is always dan
gerous,” and “we call the serpent the most
subtle of all beasts of the field, but do we
admire him most?” lie also drew a parallel
between the popular clamor against Grant’s
third term and Colquitt’s.
There having been no nomination to bind
the people of Georgia—nay, more, it having
devolved on the people to rebuke the man
who bad broken his faith, the question was
who should be Governor.
There was no candidate, bat a number of
patriotic citizens asfembled in the capital,
put forwaid as a standard-bearer Thomas
M. Norwood. [Applause.] He is a diligent
man. Is Colquitt ? He is a man of business,
he will have no explanation to make when
his term i6 ended. lie will not go through
Georgia shouting, “For God’s sake make
me Governor agato, and save me from
ruin.” [Applause.] The people of Gear-
*1* will never have cause to regret his elec
tion. His friends now will be his friends
then. He is not seeking the office. He is
before you at the call of the people of Geor
gia In Atlanta assembled. [Applause.]
After a personal explanation of his own
position, and an exhortation for the people
to do their duty, tbe speaker retired. We
have given only an imperfect synopsis of a
fine speech. It was greeted with applause
and the cannon salute at almost every
sentence.
After the speaker had retired, Mr. Des
sau was called upon, but proposed three
cheers for Norwood and Lawton in lieu of
speaking.
Fight' Between Stevedores.
Boston, September 5—Two South Bos
ton stevedores, named Dennis Leary and
Cornelius Coakley, got into a fight yester
day, in which Leary stabbed Coakley three
times. Coakley was hurried away by his
friends before the police arrived aud cannot
now be found. His Injuries are believed to
be fatal. Lear} was arrested.
