A company known as the Magruder Mining
Company has been organized in New York.
Its object is to develop the Magruder gold
mine, in Lincoln county, the property of
Major George T. Jackson, of Augusta. De
scribing it, the Augusta Neu* says: “The
Magruder mine is in Lincoln county, Ga.,
twelve miles from Washington, Wi kes county,
a t erminus of a branch of the Georgia Rail
road It is nine miles from the Savannah
river, which is navigable above this point. It
jjj only forty-four miles from Augusta by
wagon road, and the original surveyed line of
the Augusta and Knoxville Road runs within
jive miles of the mine. The property com
prises nine hundred acres, two-thirds timbered,
and a stream running through it. Thus it will
be seen that abundant fuel and water is pro
vided for all mining, smelting and building
operations.”

The Congressional campaign has opened
regularly in the Seventh district. On Tuesday
last there was a joint discussion at Lafayette

that section promise an abundant yield. Rust
has not injured the cotton to any great extent,
while corn, potatoes, etc., have turned out
well.
The I.raiubridge Democrat says the storm
that prevailed in that section for the past few
days did considerable damage to the cotton
crop, blowing most of the open staple out upon
the ground. A good deal of timber was blown
down in some parts of the county.

Fanners in Oglethorpe county say they
never knew cotton so early iu opening. Fields
arc now white, and before frost the last lock

Augusta Chronicle: “Yesterday morning a
citizen dropped a bundle of money, amounting
to seventy dollars, ou the pavement near the
lower market, and did not discover his loss
until some time afterwards. In the meantime,
the money was found by two colored women,
who immediate’y proceeded to spend it for
jewelry, dry goods, and other things. The
citizen informed the police of his loss, and in
vestigation resulted in the arrest of the two
women. They had fifty-three dollars of the
money in their possession, and the remainder,
which they had spent, was returned by the
merchants from whom they had bought the
articles upon receiving back the latter. Only
thirty cents was missing, and that they had
spent for cake. The women were discharged,
as it was found they had not stolen the
money.”

The recent storm literally tore things up in
the neighborhood of Sanford. The Journal
reports the colored church and the “Church of
the Holy Cross” in ruins, the railroad sheds in
the town all blown down, nine houses consid
erably damaged, the telegraph wire a complete
wreck, and many fences and outhouses in the
town and vicinity displaced. At Mellonville,
Fort Reid. Sylvan Lake, and in the localities
around them, the damage was great, and can
not yet be estimated. At Orlando and New
Smyrna the storm was heavy, but no serious
damage is reported. The line of the
S. F. Railway is badly damaged, and
it will be several days before the
trains are running regularly. Mr. J. D.
Humphrey, who came in on horseback from
near Longwood on Tuesday, informed the
Journal that he counted fifty trees across the
track in a distance of a mile and a half, and
that the grading was washed out in places,
leaving the iron supporting the cross-ties. The
Journal, commenting on the effect of the
storm in Sanford, says: ‘The lesson of the
storm will be of inestimable value to those who
contemplate building. It will induce them to
have their houses strongly framed and braced.
The rain dui ing the storm likewise proved that
nothing but tin roofs are efficiently water
proof. But even in a tin roof, if the storm
gets a slight hold on it, away it all goes like a
(lash, as witness the roof of the Sanford
House ”
The Palatka Herald states that the late
storm did very little damage in that city. It,
however, caused the destruction of much un
ripe fruit on several groves near by, though
the destruction was not as heavy as it was
feared. It says that, all things considered, it
is still anticipated that the orange crop this
winter will not fall short of the last year's
crop in that neighborhood. The Herald learns
that much damage was done in Sumter
county. It is said that two hundred thousand
dollars would not cover the loss of ihe orange
crop around the lakes. Put it thinks this esti
mate is no doubt an exaggeration.
The storm nearly ruined the banana crop
around St. Augustine.
Mr. Bartolo Lopez, one of the oldest fisher
men in St. Augustine, is dead. He was eighty
years of age.
The St. Augustine Press reports that last
Monday night a whirlwind passed around that
city, doing no great damage; but in passing
over Judge Cooper’s place, about a mile dis
tant, it tore down most of his fencing, carried
the roof of his stable about 350 feet away from
the premises into the woods, leaving his horse
uninjured, broke his cart up and twisted off
two or three large pines, some as large around
as a man's body, to the ground. In visiting
Mr. Ckas. Cooper’s place, the whirlwind picked
his house up and dropped it back again, but
instead of striking the pillars, it missed them,
and the pillars were forced through the floor
ing. Considerable damage has been done on
this place. The Press anticipates some bad
news from the interior, as the effect of this
whirlwind.
The Apopka City Citizen says that Mr. W. A.
Lovell’s hammock grove, at Hawkinsville, iu
Orange county, yielded him in 1878, 47,000 or
anges; in 1879, 142,000, and this year it will pro
bably produce 300,000 or more. The Citizen
mentions this as a criterion of the wonderful
increase of this one crcp in that county in the
three seasons, including that of lt80.
The Louisville and Nashville Express have
established an office in Pensacola.
The Cedar Key Journal says that whatever
may be said about the colored people, they are
certainly kind and charitable. During the
storm on last Mond ay when the house of the
Misses Hearn, of that place, blew down, the
colored people gathered there and offered th» m
their servic- s. The Misses Hearn being disin
clined to leave, the colored people told them
if they didn’t go with them out of the storm,
they (the colored people) would be compelled
to take them (the Misses Hearn) up and carry
them to their own houses out of the storm.
They finally yielded and sought l efuge beneath
the roof of one of their colored friends. No
white person was living near.
The Quincy Herald states that a that section
a number of bridges are reported washed
away, and the roads are in an impassable con
dition. It is also feared that much of the open
cotton has been entirely ruined.
The Lake City Reporter tells of how Captain
D. F. Shute was standiug in his garden when
a large fish hawk flew over his head with some
thing in its talons. Also how Captain Shute
made a tremendous noise which frightened the
bird so badly that it dropped its prey, which
turned out to be a four-pound trout, alive and
kicking. Aleo how Captain Shute took the
fish home, had it cooked and ate it. The .Re
porter also tells how Captain Shute has on his
place a cotton stalk eighteen ftet high, from
which he has already gathered this season
three pounds of seed cotton. Both these stories
the Reporter declares are true and true.
One farmer has tolii the Lake City Reporter
that he estimated the injury by the storm to
the cotton crop in that section at fifty dollars
to each one-horse farm, or about a fourth of
the crop.
According to the Marianna Courier the re
ports from all portions of Jackson county
show that the cotton crop has suffered greatly
by the recent winds and rains In some in
stances fields were white with the staple,
which has been beaten out, and a great por
tion of this will be an entire loss.
As an illustration of Radical political in
tolerance in Gadsden county, the Quincy Star
says: “April Blount, a Radical moke, assaulted
Robert Ulmer, a colored Democrat, on last
Friday evening, for wearing a Hancock and
English badge. After addressing a few
officious and insulting words to Ulmer, the re
doubtable April showed his spunk by hauling
out a razor to use on poor Bob, thinking doubt
less to make him take off the badge of his
choice. Like many other intolerant nincom
poops. however, he woke up the wrong pas
senger, and received for his insolence a whack
or two over the noddle with a good sized
shelalah, whereupon the valiant April took to
his heels at 2:40 speed.”
Palatka Herald: “Statistics show that the
orange crop of Putnam county, of which Pa-
la ka is the county site, yields over five million
oranges. This is a good showing for this
branch of culture in this county. What the
crop will be five years hence can hardly be
calculated. It may be tafe to say. however,
that five years from now we shall ship from
this county ten million. Putnam county is em
phatically the centre of the orange belt. The
soil or a large portion of it, is adapted to the
successful cultivation of this fruit, to say
nothing of our other products. Putnam is
bound to come up. It is our endeavor to keep
the public supplied with correct information
on the subject of fruit growing and commer
cial increase at this point. If any one doubts
the statement that is made at the head of this
paragraph, all be has to do is to go through
the county and examine the progress of the
county within the last ten years. The half has
not been told. The increase of this orauee
business seems magical. It is wonderful to
wi'uess the advance of a country like this,
which before the war was comparatively a
wilderness."
gt. Augustine Press: “We an* compelled to
uote a very sad and sudden accident, which
occurred at Mr. Daniel Knowlton's mill, last
Saturday afternoon, and resulted in the drown
ing of one of our colored cjtuens. Wm. Grant.
It seems, as well as we can ascertain, that a
raft of logs was lying out in the stream, and
throe of the hands, Ed. English, Jake 8tewart.
and Grant dosired to get on the raft for the
purpose of putting it into the log pen. aqd
pick out logs for the slip. Instead of taking a
boat, they all got on one log and started out.
Alter poling a while, the log commenced to
roll and precipitated the three men into
the water. Jake Stewart, being able to
swim, made for shore, and Eng
lish seized a log near by and clung to it. In
thf* meantime. Grant had disapjieared, and not
seeing him. Stewart asked: “Where is Grant?"
at which tjuie he was seen to rise and sink
again; in a second more he rose and sunk for
the last time. Stewai t realized at once that
Grant was drowning, and called lustjly for
help. Many of the mill hands soon gathered
to learn that Grant had really been arownett
English was saved, but in a weak condition,
owing to swallowing salt water, and the ex-
citeuient. Mr. Arthur Bradford and others
dived to find Grant, and soon brought him to
the surface. The necessary expedients were
resorted to, but of no avail; Grant was dead.”
Pensacola Advance: “Zack Falk, a colored
boy about eighteen or twenty years of age, has
a fondness for sweet things, and has made fre-
3 uent incursions upon the cane garden of Mr.
J. V. Dansby. But Dansby is a practical as
well as a theoretical man. and could not tame
ly submit to this predatory warfare upon his
time and labor, so he ‘laid for’ the boy. He
stationed his son with a double-barrelled gun
where he would be most likely to intercept this
cane grinder, and last Wednesday the unsus
pecting Falk walked upon this solitary
sentinel. Without any multiplication^ words
he was told to march'to the house, where the
old gentleman manacled his arms, and placing
him in a wagon, told his son to drive to town.
Before leaving Falk complained of the rope
being too tight around his wrists, and our
relenting friend, through a sp rit of mis
taken charity, slackened the cords. The
wagon then moved od, Mr. Dansby telling
his son he would join him as soon as he could
saddle his horve, and placed at the same time
in the wagon a shotgun, and in addition pro
vided the son with a pistol. The enterprising
Falk commenced at once to unloose his bands,
and he had traveled no distance before he had
fully extricated himself, and rising suddenly
to his feet, snatched from his guard the pistol
held in hand. He leveled upon young Dansby
and snapped two separate times, but fortunate
ly these two chambers were empty. He then
coolly remarked: *D—n this pistol, it won’t
shoot,’ and grabbing the gun attempted to
carry out his fell purpose. A scuffle ensued,
during which Falk discharged the gun. the
powder bad'y scorching young Dansby’s breast,
and then took to his heels. Young Dansby then
retraced his steps towards home and meeting
his father, informed him of the transaction.
Here the matter rests, but look out for the
alter clap.”
Regarding the late storm at Cedar Key, a cor
respondent of the Gainesville bun writes a very
interesting letter to that paper, from which we
make the following extract: “Towards evening
the harbor presented a strange appearance, for
as the direction of the wind was from the
northeast, it was off the land, and the waters,
quite disregardful of the tide, which should
then have been at flood, were swept out to sea.
and all the space between the town and Rail
road wharf was as dry as the road. Iu the
channel, usually from ten to thirteen feet deep,
there was cot more than five feet of water, and
just across it as far as Atsena Otie (the island
opposite) there was not a drop. The feeding
places for the turtle looked like luxuriant pas
tures, bending beneath the howling, shrieking
wind. The steamer Clinton, of the Morgan
Line, and the Admiral, at the wharf,
were aground, as well as the Suwan
nee river boat, the Era, which latter,
on settling down, had pierced herselr
with a sunken pile; an old life-boat j-ank many
years ago, and never seen by mortal eye for
more than twenty years, was high and dry,
and, covered with barnacles and oyster shells,
was suggestive of strange thoughts. About
half-post eight o’clock the piazza on the east
side of tho Gulf House, nearly a hundred feet
in length, was broken in half : the southern
half whirled over the roof, and was carried no
one knew where. All night long the storm
continued with unabated fury, and when your
correspondent left on the train at five o’clock
the wind was higher than at any previous
period. Owin» to the sad accident on the
Transit Road, near Rosewood, no definite in
telligence has reached us since, for, as a mat
ter of course, the telegraph line was down;
but, it is to be hoped the worst was over on
Monday morning, and that the good people of
Cedar Key escaped from any serious mishap.”
Alluding to the loas of the Norwegian bark
“Captain Matson,” notice of which we gave
by telegraph yesterday, the Jacksonville Tele
phone says: “The Captain and mate were left
on the beach. The Captain's wife was very
sick. The bark was loaded with square tim
ber. aDd was bound from Pensacola to Leith,
Scotland. The gale struck her on Sunday morn
ing and carried away everything—deck load,
rigging and all. The crew left in two boats and
went ashore fourteen miles below Mayport
The men are all barefooted and poorly clad,
having saved nothing from the wreck Their
feet and legs are sore and much swollen from
exposure to sea water and the sun. The citi
zens of Mayport are doing the best they can
for the comfort of the unfortunate mariners,
and will do so until the master arrives and
takes them in charge. A lot of mahogany
also came ashore at Mayport yesterday. Be
sides this, the amount of lumber and packages
of merchandise that is continually drifting
ashore, both north and south of the St. Johns
bar. is said to be exceedingly great. Even the
bodies of dead sheep and other domestic ani
mals have bean found upon the sea shore since
the storm. So far no reports of dead bodies
have been seen, except the information given
by the shipwrecked sailors as pubiDhed iu the
Telephone Thursday, have reached the city.
Unreliable rumors have been afloat, but a dili
gent effort has succeeded in obtaining nothing
that can be relie J upon as correct. A few
miles north of the bar the beach for a short
distance is covered with pieces of wreck, while
to the southward stray articles or merchandise
occasionally drift in ”
Savs the Madison Recorder: “The storm of
wind and rain which commenced on Saturday
evening last, was severe, and lasted until Tues
day night. The wind set In from the northeast
and at times veered to the north and to the
east; the fall of rain was not very great and
the force of the storm was in the wind. The
cotton was greatly damaged in the county; in
some portions nearly one third of the early
crop was lost. The sea island c >tton, owing to
its lateness, was rot injured as much as the
upland cotton.”
THE GEORGIA RADICALS.
POLITICAL MEETING IN SCBITEN
AddreMen from ITIesara. Lester and
Garrard-No Converts Made— rite
County will Give Gov. Colquitt an
Overwhelming Majority.
Sylvan it. Ga., September 6.—Editor Morn
ing News: In response to printed notices posted
in this county, an attentive and orderly au
dienceof about seventy-five persons, including
two or three colored persons, assembled in the
court house here on Saturday last, to hear the
addresses of CoL R. E. Lester and Mr. Garrard
on the political issues of the day. A number
of the friends of Gov. Colquitt were in the
meeting, but no arrangements were made to
hear that side. It was, in fact, not a part of the
programme, the meeting taking more of the
features of Mr. Norwood's Atlanta Opera
House meeting.
Mr. Garrard occupied the floor fl st and ad
dressed tho meeting for about two hours, ar
raigning the administration of Gov. Colquitt,
and commenting upon and severely criticising
r he official conduct and acts of the Governor,
reading copious extracts from documents, and
rehashing the stale slanders that the Legisla
ture and people have acquitted the Governor
of ; he also reviewed the action of the late
Gubernatorial Convention, and contended that
there was no nomination made, and laid the
charge of failure to nomin ite at the door of
the majority. This speaker, to my utter as
tonishment, closed his address without men
tioning the Felton telegram, a feature of the
campaign, from his connection with it, that I
thought him best posted on.
Col. R. E. Lester, who is held in great esteem
by the people of this county, next addressed
the meeting in a manly and eloquent effort of
about two hours length, an effort worthy of a
better cause. He commented upon and criti
cised the official conduct and administration of
Governor Colquitt. He reviewed the action
or the late Gubernatorial convention; said
there was no nomination made, and the
fault was with the majority, and sai i all true
Democrats were free to support either candi
date. In conclusion he eulogized Mr. Norwood;
said he was qualified, capable and vigilant, and
commended him to the supi>ort of the people,
and said if elected he would not require vindi
cation. He spoke of Mr. Norwood’s Congres
sional record, but to my astonishment failed to
say anything in reference t > Mr. Norwood’s
connection with the famous salary grab and
the President's increase of salary.
He failed to say anything in reference to Mr.
Norwood's connection as couuse for the fraud
ulent bondholders of th-.s State and his alleged
effort to lobby through the legislative branch
of this State a bill for the payment of said
fraudulent bonds. He was silent on Mr. Nor
wood’s war record, ar.d I could but th nk that
if he was as mighty in civic life as the eloquent
orator painted him. that had he enlis*ed in the
Confederate army the result of the war might
have been different. The applause was weak,
aud I feel warranted in saying no converts were
made. If the same success attends these dis
tinguished gentlemen, in their future appoint
ments, their campaign tour will be a fruitless
one, and their addresses as seed sown in a bar
ren soil. , . ,
This county will give an ovenvhelming ma
jority to Governor Colquitt. We feel that he
has proven bis loyalty and devotion to the De
mocratic party in ics hour of need, and upon a
field of blood, and that we owe him a debt of
gratitude. Peace, material and financial
prosperity, and low taxation have marked
his administration as the Chief Executive
of this State, and the people are content and
mean to stand by him—the efforts of self ap
pointed leaders, disappointed office seekers and
anonymous pamphlet tradupers to the contrary
notwithstanding. We feel that the standard of
the Democratic party has been placed in his
hands by a majority vote of the late conven
tion, and have faith in his ability to carry it to
victory in peace, as he did in war. We feel,
practically speaking, that he is the nominee of
the Democratic party, not caring to draw too
nice a distinction between the definition of the
words “nominee” and‘Tecommendee.” We are
not wedded to the word “nominee.” Any word
that approaches it in meaning will do for as,
The colored people of tb f s county will sup
port the Republican candidate for Governor, if
the Republican party nominates If the Re
publican party fails to nominate they will sup
port Governor Colquitt.
Colonel J. Lawton Singellton was nominated
on the 1st instant as the Democratic candidate
for the Legislature from this county and

prohibited in the county by the popular vote.
Mr. John Sherman declared in his re
cent speech at Cincinnati that if Han
cock is elected ‘ amnesty and forgiveness
will be proclaimed tof the meanest
crimes that have ever bej>n committed
against free government” So far as we
are aware, the meanest crime ever com
mitted against free government was com
mitted by John Sherman, Eliza Pink
ston, James A. Garfield, Madison Wells,
E. W. Stoughton and certain other per
sons who undertook in 1876 to steal, and
did in fact steal, the vote of the State of
Louisiana. If JohD Sherman thinks that
General Hancock will proclaim, or that
the American people will proclaim am
nesty and forgiveness for this “mean
crime,” he is in the way to be violently
but profitably undeceived!—World.

Special leleqram to the. Morning News.
Atlanta, September 7.—Before thejeon-
vention was called to order, R. It. Wright,
of the Journal of Progress, the Cuthbert col
ored newspaper, shook his cane over the
head of — Bunce, of the Albany colored
newspaper, and called him a lying scoun
drel on account of an article in his paper.
Friends Interfered and Bunce promised to
give editorial correction next week or this
week, and thi6 ended the row.
Pledger called the convention to order at
ten o’clock. He explained the object of
the meeting to decide whether or not a can
didate should be nominated for Governor.
Nine delegates from each Congressional
district, making a small convention, and a
few spectators,were present. Holt, colored,
of Bibb, was made temporary chairman.
There was a short wrangle oyer the appoint
ment of the Committee on Credentials. There
are contesting delegations from the Second
and Seventh districts. The contest in the
Seventh Is not important.
J. II. Deveaux, of Savannah, spoke firmly
against any sharp practice in organizing the
convention. The committee Is still out and
the convention adjourned for dinner.
At the afternoon session the Committee
on Credentials were requested to report Im
mediately. While waiting, Yous of the
Eighth and Mlddiebrooks of the Seventh
districts, delegates to Chicago, made brief
speeches for Garfield. R. W. White, of
Savannah, then made a report on creden
tials. Jones, of Atlanta, presented a minor
ity report in regard to the Fifth and Ninth
districts which were not allowed over
nine delegates each according to the
call of the convention. J. H. Deveaux, of
Savannah, moved to adopt the majority
report, which created Intense excitement,
the Fifth district’s eighteen delegates being
nearly all on their feet at once. Great con
fusion prevailed. Pledger appealed for
harmony and good feelisg. Deveaux re
plied, and said his district was Republican,
and would elect a Republican Congressman,
lie made a severe attack on Pledger, who,
he said, knew that no district should
have more than nine delegates.
Pledger attempted to reply, and a
general wrangle ensued, in which Pledger
and Ed. Belcher came near having & fight.
Pledger afterwards apologized for any
offensive words spoken to Deveaux, and
attempted to pour oil on the troubled
waters, but another wordy wrangle ensued
between him and Belcher, West, McHenry
and others. Dire confusion again prevailed
for half an hour. It was finally settled by
allowing each district nine votes. By roll
call, White of Richmond and Harrison of
Fulton were nominated for permanent
President. Both are colored. The vote stood:
White 51, Harrison 30. Ou taking the chair
White said he should enforce order and
allow no delegates to create confusion.
Here Jonathan Norcross (white) took the
floor to offer a resolution but made his
speech first, and when be alluded to tbe
Norwood movement confusion ensued and
many questions were put to him, but he re
fused to yield or read his resolution before
his speech was concluded. After long con
tinued confusion and wrangling, in which
R. D. Locke, of Columbus, refused to be
controlled by the Chair, Norcross said he
was for neither Norwood nor Colquitt.
Locke’s appeal from the decision of the
Chair was not tabled by a vote of 46 nays
and 32 yeas, and Noicroes then read his re
solution as follow.-: <: That the present di
vision in the Democratic party offered the
first light and hope for the Republicans for
tbe last twelve years, and we do not feel
called upon to Indorse either Colquitt or
Norwood, but If favoring either let
it be Norwood. [Cries of “No!” and in
tense confusion.] President White finally
said he would leave the Chair unless order
was restored and Norcross was allowed to
speak on his resolution; then the delegates
could reply to him. Norcross proceeded to
make a speech In favor of Norwood, but
the convention was overwhelmingly op
posed to his sentiments. Twenty delegates
wanted to reply, and when the Chair gave
the floor to J. £. Bryant, white, cries of
“He’s not a delegate!” aud “He cut our
people’s throat!” were raised, and dire con
fusion once more ensued.
Bryant offered a substitute that it ras
unwise to endorse any Democrat for any
office. He said Mr. Toombs was support
ing Norwood, and colored men should never
follow in the lead of the Bourbon Democrats.
McHenry, colored, of Atlanta, spoke
against Norwood. He wanted forty col
ored men in tbe next Legislature. Fulton
county, he said, must send one colored
man.
Deveaux, of Savannah, favored the nomi
nation of a Republican candidate, or no
endorsement of either Colquitt or Nor
wood.
Ed. Belcher, of Augusta, colored, de
nounced the record of both Colquitt and
Norwood as regards the colored race, and
opposed the endorsement of either. He
favored a Republican nomination. He en
dorsed Senator Brown’s appointment.
Dr. West, colored, followed in favor of
Colquitt as the least of the two evils. He
thought the Republican party could swal
low Colquitt if the Democratic party swal
lowed Greeley. [General and intense confu
sion and cries of “Get down” continued
for ten minutes]. The Chair finally secured
order aud asked that West be allowed to
explain his remarks, blit the confusion was
renewed when West resumed, and he was
compelled to retire.
Hutchens, colored, of the Ninth dis
trict, opposed indorsing either candidate,
and favored a Republican candidate unless
the Democrats give the negroes a chance to
come to the Legislature.
White, of Savannah, made a fervent and
forcible speech against indorsing Colquitt
or Norwood, and reviewed the history of
the Republican party in Georgia. He of
fered resolutions agaiust supporting any
candidates not pledged to guarantee the
colored men their full rights at tbe polls,
in education and in other matters,
and to reform the chain gang
abuses. Locke (white) of Columbus,
opposed a nomination and also opposed In
dorsing either Democratic candidate. He
opposed paseing any resolution about Con
gressional candidates, and moved to tabic
all resolutions and to adopt a simple resolu
tion that It was inexpedient to nominate a
candidate for Governor. Carried by 72 yeas
to 9 nays, the First district voting nay.
The Commit ee on Platform and Address
Is to report to-night. The convention Is
largely for Colquitt.
Norcross then moved to nominate State
House officers, but a motion to table pre
vailed by a vote of yeas 58, nays 23.
The action of the Executive Committee
in regard to Presidential electors was in
dorsed.
Bryant moved to reconsider action on the
resolution against nominating a candi
date for Governor. He made a speech
denouncing Felton, Stephens and
all Independent Democrats, and
said the First district would go Republican.
He favored Hon. J. C. Freeman, of Fulton,
for Governor, as that gentleman was wil Ing
to make the race. He opposed dividing the
vote on Colquitt and Norwood. [Great
cheering and confusion.]
Jeff. Long replied, and said that under
Hayes more Democrats than Republicans
were in the post offices and other positions.
The white Republicans had been false to
the colored man. He opposed B'-yant’s
motion. Freeman was a candidate for Con
gress, and could do more service there.
Nominate Freeman for Governor, and it
will result in Norwood’s election.
Bryant denied this and said he preferred
Colquitt to Norwood. Long referred to
Bryant as the gentleman from Maine. Bry
ant dented this statement; *nd said he wa»
a Georgian. [Great confusion ensued, and
Bryant carriea the crowd in a running de
bate with Long.]
Locke, of Columbus, opposed Bryant’s
motion as unfair. No man can say it is fair,
Bryant. , „
Bryant replied that It was. [Cheers and
confusion.]
Locke said it was too late to reconsider.
This was a slip-up and he would denounce
it as unfair, and moved to table it. Cries
for Bryant to reDly, but the Chair ruled him
out of order. His motion was tabled—63
ayes to 16 nays.
Peve&ux, of Sayannab, reported the reso
lutions from the pommittee. They Indorse
the Republican party and Garfield and Ar
thur, favor increased educational advan
tages, reform of the chain gang abuses,
favoring immigration, abolishing of the
chain gang, support no candidate for the
Legislature unless he favors these reforms,
and calls for colored men on juries.
Pledger said the telegraph would flash it
abroad that the Republican party had gone
over to the Democratic party in the State
election. He wanted to put on record the
reason, and offered a preamble to tbe reso
lution, setting forth that the Republicans
could not get their votes counted if put in
the ballot box, and, therefore, they should
make the best terms possible with the con
tending candidates.
Before Pledger spoke Freeman arose and
declined to run for Congress in the Fifth
district if the party was not going to put a
State ticket In nomination.
Hoyt, of the Seventh district (white), said
he came here not to discuss Colquitt or
Norwood, or any man outside of the Repub
lican party. We must have a head of our
own, not turn us loose to vote for
Democrats. He denied that Pledger’s reso
lution was truthful and honest. [Great ex
citement and cheering ] He would not send
forth a lie to the world.
Belcher indorsed Hoyt’s speech and op
posed Pledger’s resolution. We have furled
our flag and marched into the Democratic
camp. When we said we had no man. Free
man came forward and said he would lead
us, but to-night we reject his overture and
turn our foices loose into the Democratic
ranks. This resolution slanders the whol
State, and he should oppose it as not the
real reason why no nominations were made.
Deveaux said they were not afraid to
nominate, as Belcher said, but distinguished
Republicans refused to run for Governor.
Freeman came in at the last moment and
offered to run, but his action to-night shows
that he is unfit for Congress or to be Gover
nor. He did not want Pledger’s resolutions
tacked to his report of the committee, as he
could not fully indorse them.
Wimbusb, of Fulton, is now speaking on
the chain gang resolution in the committee’s
report.

By Telegraph to the Morning News.
London, September 7.—Parliament was
prorogued to-day. The following was Her
Majesty’s speech, read by the Royal Com
missioner:
My Lords and Gentlemen : It is with satis
faction that I find myself at length enabled
to release you from your arduous labors,
continue to receive assurances of the most
friendly character from all the foreign pow
ers. The failure of the Sublime Porte to
execute, according to its engagements, the
plan agreed upon "An April last, for the de
termination of the Ottoman frontier lying
towards Montenegro, has caused unfortu
nate delays in the settlement of that ques
tion, and the treaty of Berlin has not yet
taken effect.
In other points of the province which re
mained open at tbe eommencement of the
session the governments which were even
parties to that treaty have communicated
to the Sultan their judgment on the means
of bringing to a satisfactory settlement the
Greek and Montenegrin frontier questions,
on administrative organization of the Euro
pean provinces of Turkey, and on the prin
cipal reforms required iu the Asiatic provin
ces, inhabited by Armenians.
For the attainment of the objects in view.
I continue to place reliance on the fact that
the concert of Europe has been 6teadily
maintained in regard to the Eastern ques
tion, and that the powers which signed the
treaty of Berlin are pressing upon the Sub
lime Porte with all the authority which be
longs to their united action measures which
in their belief are best calculated to insure
tranquillity iu the East.
1 have not been unmindful during tbe
F ast few months which have elapsed since
last addressed you of the considerations
which I have stated would guide my policy
in the northwest frontier of my Indian em
pire. Measures have already been taken
for the complete military evacuation of
Northern Afghanistan, and some progress
has been made toward the pacification and
settlement of the country. A renewal of
hostilities by the Afghans under Ayoob
Khan has rendered necessary further mili
tary operations in Southern Afghanistan.
The prompt measures t ken by the Gov
ernment of India for the relief of the gar
rison of CaDdah&r and the conspicuous
ability and energy displayed by my officers
and troops In the execution of those meas
ures, resulting In the brilliant victory re
cently gained by the gallant force under
command of Sir Frederick Roberts, will, I
trust, speedily bring to an honorable termi
nation the war in that division of coun
try.
I regret that it has not hitherto been pos
sible to give you such information on the
general state of Indian finance and the
recent miscarriages in presenting the ac
count of the military expenditure, as you
would justly require before entering on a
practical consideration of the subject. You
may, however, rest assured that I shall
redeem my pledge to supply you with this
information at the earliest period in my
power.
No advance has recently been made In
the project of South African confederation,
nor could any advantage arise from the
endeavors to press it forward, except in
proportion to the favorable movement of
public opinion in that portion of the em
pire. The general state of affairs in South
Africa is, however, on the whole, satisfac
tory, except iu Bassutoland, where, I trust,
that a moderate and conciliatory policy
may allay tbe agitation caused by the
enforcement of the disarmament act.
Gentlemen of the Mouse of Commons: I ten
der you my thanks lor the liberal provisions
which you have made to meet the charges
of the public service. My Lords and gen
tlemen, I acknowledge witn thankfulness to
the Almighty the happy continuance during
several weeks of fine weather for securing
the harvest, which gives in many places a
reasonable promise of abundance. I am
thus enabled to anticipation both
further revival of trade and some addition
to the revenue of the country for the year,
and I dwell with special pleasure upon the
probable improvement in the condition of
the poor iu Ireland, who have so seriously
suffered from a previous failure of the crops.
I rejoice also to observe that notwithstand
ing the lateness of the period at which you
began your labors, your indefatigable zeal
and patience haye enabled you to add to the
statute book some valuable laws. I re
fer particularly to your settlement of the
long contested questious relating to the
subject of burials, to the education
act, and the act for better determining the
liability of employers, and to these I woud
add the act relating to ground game, the
repeal of the malt duty, the savings’ banks
act, the postoffice money orders act and the
measures for bettering the condition of
merchant seamen and providing for a safer
carriage of grain cargoes. I tiust that these
measures may, under Divine Provideuce,
contribute to the welfare and prosperity of
my people.
During the ceremony of prorogation of
the House of Commons, about sixty mem
bers were present, including Premier Glad
stone. Of the members of the House of
Lords, besides the five Royal Commission
ers, only one Liberal aud two Conservative
Peers were present, together with about
thirty-five ladies, none of whom were Peer
esses. The north gallery of the House of
Lords was filled with spectators. The cere
mony commenced at ten minutes past two
o’clock p. m. and was over at thirty-seven
minutes past two. Parliament was pro
rogued until tbe 24 b of November next.

ELECTIONS YESTERDAY.
A Democratic Victory in Arkansan—
Tbe State Ticket Elected by Sixty
Thousand Majority—Tbe Vermont
Election.
By Telegraph to the Morning News.
Litter Rock. September 7.—The indica
tions are that at the election for all State
and county officers and members of tbe
Legislature the Democrats carried the State
by the usual majority. The Republicans
claim the election of W. S. Oliver for Sher
iff of Pulaski county.
The election here was very quiet and
peaceable. There were three tickets in the
field in this ( Pulaski) county—Democratic,
Republican and Greenback. It will take
an official count to determine the result.
The main question proposed was an amend
ment to the constitution repudiating certain
bonds, which was defeated in this county
by over 2,000 mpjority. Reports from Jef
ferson, Miller aud other counties, give an
overwhelming majority against it. It is the
opinion of Col. Smith, Chairman of the De
mocratic State Central Committee, that the
amendment is defeated and the Democratic-
State ticket elected by 60,000 maiority.
Bennington, Vt., September 7.—A much
lighter vote has been polled than waa ex
pected in this town and county. So far as
heard from South, the Senator, and Sheriff,
on the Republican ticket, are running be
hind, but the indications are that the
Republicans will win. Colonel Joyce,
for member of Congress, Is running ahead
of the State ticket. In tbe town of Can-
nington the Republican nominee for Repre
sentative Is running ahead of everything.
The vote will hardly indicate as heavy a
majority as in 187S, when the county stood
Republican by 836 majority.
Burlington, September 7.—There is in
tense excitement here and a full vote is be
ing polled. There is every indication of a
largely increased Republican majority in
this city.

man. I obtained a fall account of this terrible
disaster. Only eleven lives, of the eighty-four
that left New York, are known to have been
saved. You have already been informed by
the wires of the general particu
lars of this fearful catastrophe. The
rescued seamen, with whom I conversed, one
of whom was a grizzled veteran, told me that
they had never, in ail their experience, en
countered a more severe storm, or. properly
speaking, cyclone. After the vessel went to
pieces, such was the power of tbe wind that
the bodies of the struggling victims were
raised out of the water and hurled from wave
to wave, while heavy planks were elevated
into the idr by the same agency, and fell with
crushing effect upon the beads and limbs of
the helpless sufferers Many bodies have been
already buried, aud others will probably drift
ashore, aa all were well provided with life-
preservers. It is to be hoped that a few others
may have reached the shore alive, on the
Co;- »t perhaps of Brevard or Dade counties,
but the presumption is that tbe eleven heard
of are the only survivors.
T weive wrecks constitute a fearful array of
m -rine casualties.

ported for the month of August.

Special Correspondence of the Morning News
Jacksonville. September 6.—Several Flori
dians, who visited Gen. Hancock while in New
York, have returned, and one aud ail are en
thusiastic over the pleasure afforded them by
the interview. Their distinguished host re
ceived them in his frank, soldierly manner,
and had many questions to ask of Florida,
where in the earlier part of his military career,
as Captain, he had served against the Seminole
Indians. It was while stationed at Fort Myers,
on the Caloosahatchee river.on the line between
Manatee and Monroe counties, that his only
daughter, a bright and promising girl, who
died just as she was blooming into woman
hood, was born, and the tones of the brave
warrior grew husky as he spoke of that place
and its surroundings. The impressions left
my informants were that they had been in the
presence not only of a great, but also of a good
man, one to whom the destiny of this vast
country could be safely entrusted.
Such is General Hancock, a man of pure,
simple and unaffected habits and instincts,
knowing nothing of the arts and wile j of She
politician and office-seeker, of broad, compre
hensive views that take iu the whole country,
whose training and education have fully de
veloped his patriotism, and whose innate sense
of justice and right have always led him to
sound and correct conclusions. In the hands
of a Chief Magistrate of such clear concep
tions, unswayed by sectional feeling, and tow
ering high above partisan jealousy, our couo
try would move grandly onward to peace and
prosperity. Discord would vanish, bitter ani
mosities would subside, and the sad and rugged
recollections of former trials and troubles
would be put away among the past, if not for
gotten.
Garfield's election, on the contrary, would
simply be the fresh irritation of the old ulcer
with which the South has been these many
y ears afflicted. A partisan himself, of the most
approved type and pattern, his accession to
power would only be a perpetuation of the old
order of things, and the South would continue
to groan beneath the burden under which she
has so long staggered.
If thepeopleof this country—the true, just
people—could on y fully and completely realize
how earnestly and longingly the South prays
for peace and quiet; how great are the disad
vantages against which she contends in the
way of constant abuse and misrepreeentation;
how vainly she writhes against the ceaseless
assaults of her relentless enemies, they would
unite in throwing off the ties of party, and join
in one general effort to bring about a restored
and fraternal Union.
The storm, mentioned in my last, has been
very destructive in its effects. So far as can
be learned, the up-river country seems to have
experienced its greatest fury. Houses in vari
ous places were prostrated, an i four churches
are now heaps of ruins. Several intelligent
gentlemen from that region estimate the loss
of oranges at fifty per cent. These disasters
are, however, as a general rale, always exag
gerated, although there can be no doubt that
the damage has been very serious. The crop
was not a heavy one at best, and Florida
oranges bid fair to be in demand, at good
prices, during the coming winter. Reports
from the cotton belt indicate great injury also
to the great staple. All that was open was
whipped out and beaten into the earth, while
thousands of bolls at different stages of devel
opment were lashed from the stalks. Other
crops—corn, sugar cane and rice—have been
materially impaired. Many consider the storm
as the equinoctial gale, somewhat in advance
of its usual period of appearance, while there
are others who fear another great disturbance
during the month of September. It is to be
hoped that the latter are false weather proph
ets, for another such cyclone over its former
path would leave rain and desolation behind.
Mr. Conover made another speech here on
Wednesday night, which was pronounced by
the Sun and Press, “a broad, manly and com
prehensive address.” To those who know the
orator’s depth and breadth, such a fulsome
compliment appears in the highest degree ab
surd aud ridiculous. In all honesty and sin
cerity, and with no desire to do him injustice,
Mr. Conover possesses none of the qualifica
tions that would fit him for the office of Gov
ernor. Neither in intellect, general atiain-
ments, experience in statesmanship, por for
services rendered to Florida, or the country, is
he the man to occupy a position of such honor
and responsibility. Should such an unforeseen
and unexpected calamity as his election occur,
the wheels of progress would revolve back
wards and a blight would fall on our buds of
promise, now fresh and vigorous.
He made, iu the course of hi* remarks.an ap
peal to the Cubans for tneir support. While a
United States Senator, and when, perhaps, he
might have done them some service while in
the throes of an attempted revolution, not by
word or gesture did he recognize their exist
ence. Now. however, he wants their votes,
and. with honeyed words and deceptive tongue,
utters empty promises. He could have aided
them when in the Senate. Of what avail could
he be to them as Governor;* The men from
"the ever faithful isle” are fully competent to
note the difference between precept and prac
tice, and too intelligent to be led astray by a
trading politician.
Money is not over abundant with the Repub
licans. Only a very small amount has, thus
far, been obtained from the National Executive
Committee, and the wheels of their machinery
do not ran smoothly. With their particular
character of following, money is an absolute
essential. They have nothing to offer but
promises. Their capital, in this respect, is
enormous, and Mr. Conover is said to be a
spendthrift in this regard. His due bills at
maturity will be returned, protested and dis
honored. It would be a matter of some in
terest and amusement to asoertain how many
have been promised position in the event of
Mr. Conover s success, and if these patriots
would only compare notes they would De won
derfully astonished at the developments. Mr.
Conover is an accomplished coquette, and is
carrying on an extensive political flirtation
with a large number of admirers.
General Bill Ledwith and Colonel Risbee are
are making water-hauls in the up-river coun
ties. General Ledwith doesn't like the idea of
playing second fiddle to Mr. Conover, and is
aiding in the canvass more as an amateur
than as a professional. He is not in dead
earnest, and wouldn’t be intensely mortified to
see both Conover and Bisbee handsomely de
feated. He can’t and don’t forget the jugglery
used to chisel him out of the nomination for
the first place on the ticket at Gainesville, and
beneath a smting and unconcerned exterior,
he nurses hopes of a future retaliation.
Colonel Bisbee is addressing those audiences
up the river, without effect. When he gets
away from “the black belt” into the white
counties and has to face Anglo-Saxon hearers,
he is out of his natural element and flounders
awkwardly. He misses the responsive guffaw
of the negro, ready to shout at every cheap
witticism and fling at the Democrats, and is
made painfully aware of the fact that between
himself and his hearers there is a wide gulf
fixed beyond his powers to bridge over, He
cannot bring about that degree of sympathy
that gives inspiration t,o oratory, and conse
quenily his path in that section is heavy,
rugg^/i anu barren in profitable results. Be
sides, he is called on to counteract in that re-
g on the impressions made by such speakers as
eneral Finley, Major Russell, Attorney Gener
al Raney, Messrs. E. K. Foster and St. Clair-
Abrams. who carry with them the hearts and
ears of the iieople. Tne task is utterly beyond
Colonel Bisbee s powers, and is a useless ex
penditure of his ammunition.
Parson W. W. Hicks is now stumping Maine
for the Republicans. Everybody here knows
him to be an unmiligtvted liar; but even those
»look with astonishment upon his attain
ts in this art never dreamed that he could
have reached the summit of fabrication to
which he has leaped. There is no half-way
Station for a man like Hicks. He springs with
a single bound to his object, and leaves all
rivals in the profession of mendacity so far
behind that competition is idle, and they can
only gaze at bis skill and proficiency in dazed
admiration. Others have gained a local noto
riety iu this line, but it is Hicks’ glory to have
achieved a national reputation. Munchausen,
Gulliver and other distinguished professors
must jield the belt ihe onampion American
liar. In hi- la»t effort, to be found below,
Hiciis has not displayed his usual delicate,
artistic touch, and has, perhaps, overshot ihe
mark at which he aimed. He probably,
however, properly gauged the credulity of a
Maine audience. U is somewhat strange,
though, that the census returns from Clay
county, where these wholesale butcheries oc
curred, should show an increase of population.
Now this pious parson is a representative
man of the H-publife»n party, was a member
of the preceding State Cabinet, Chairman of
the Chicago delegation from Florida and rep
resents his party on the National Executive
Committee. It is to be naturally supposed
that he enjoys the confidence and possesses
the respect or Florida Republicans. How will
the conservative element af that party relun
the statement made by Hicks, to widen we in
vite their attention? Ther - ^re as much Inter
ested in the grow'Jb and prot^peritv of this
State as are ‘.he Democrats, and perhaps can
bqter realize than they the damaging effects of
such stories upon the Northern people.

His services in attracting Immigration to
Florida, and in elevating the social and moral
virtues of hey ciiiaens entitle him to special
recognition, and he merits a public reception

f tatesboro, Ga., Feptember 6.—Editor Morn
ing News: To-day a large and enthusiastic
crowd assembled at Statesboro to hear what
the Hon. R. E. Lester and Wm. Garrard. Esq.,
wo .Id say in regard to the pending political
issues.
The court house was densely crowded—every
body anxious to hear what the honorable gen
tlemen would say In behalf of Mr. Norwood and
the minority.
It was agreed that the minority speakers
should open and conclude. Mr. Garrard was
rhe first speaker and ably advocated the claims
of the minority. He argued the case fairly and
was greeted with hearty applause. After the
conclusion of his speech, the loud cheers and
the name of Colquitt, which resounded through
out the court house,told plainly the strength of
Georgia’s Governor. Mr.W. H. Cone responded
to tbe call of the Colquitt men, and made a
str« -ngspe: ch in favor of Democratic principles
and Democratic government. He was continu
ously applauded during his speech aud cheers
for Colquitt went up from the vast audience.
At the conclusion or his speech, and when the
applause for “Hurrah for Colquitt" had sub-
sidvd. Dr. M. S. Boyd was called for aud made
a ringing and telling speech for Hon. A. H. Col-
quit' and genuine Democracy. He was equal
to tlie occasion, and the enthusiasm that pre
vailed throughout the house showed its effects
and the determination of the people to let the
will of the majority, fairly expressed, prevail,
and to adhere to the organized Democracy of
Georgia.
When he had finished, Hon. Rufus E. Lester,
one of Bulloch’s favorites, arose in behalf of
Mr. Norwood. He was often applauded by the
vast crowd, and made one of the best efforts of
his life. But. despite the position of the able
men c.f the minority, their eloquence and their
purity as Democrats, the ‘‘Hurrahs for Col
quitt" told plainly the feeling of the people.
The county is divided, but at present it reems
that the people are willing to trust the ship of
State again in the hands of our noble Governor,
despite the vituperations hurled at him by the
minority. Kkno.
