Colonel 11 lack's Acceptance.
By the correspondence published in
another column it w ill be seen that the
committee appointed by the convention
to inform CoL Geo. It Black of his selec
tioa as the candidate of the Democracy
of the First Congressional district for
Representative ia the Forty-seventh Con
gress have performed that duty, and that
CoL Black responds in a graceful letter,
accepting the nomination.
The letter of Colonel Black speaks for
itself, breathing in every line the spirit
of true Democracy. Setting forth as it
does briefly, but frankly and unre
servedly. the basis principles which will
govern his action as a Repre
sentative of Georgia in the na
tional council, and pledging
his best efforts for the promotion of the
interests of his section and of the coun
try at large, it will not fail to receive the
hearty indorsement and secure for its
distinguished author the cordial support
ol every true Democrat.
Mr. Conklicg's Speech at New York.
September 17th. 1*80-
The boldness with which Mr. Conk-
ling proclaimed on the 17th insL the
political opinions held by himself, Gen.
Grant, and their adherents, the wealthy
capitalists of New York and New Eng
land, betrays a confidence in the power
of the almighty dollar to conquer and
control the people. His oration, pre
pared evidently with care, was sectional
and defiant, challenging the Democratic
masses to a contest with the aristocracy
of wealth, in a self assurance of certain
victory for his party. He began with
plausible platitudes of popular govern
ment, strung together with sophmoric
skill, and which would pass current with
collegiate companions. Dons and inter
ested relati res. a I le attempted to put
aside the personal influences of candi
dates, an important point for him by
which to hide away Garfield from the
honest presence of Hancock. He knew
well that in the eyes of the people Gar
field and Arthur can make no showing of
competency, honor or integrity in their
respective records, and that their con
demnation by their own friends stood in
the way of eulogium commending their
characters and services. His success in
bewildering his hearers and readers de
pended upon his burying Garfield, not
pr&isiog him—and he put him out of
the way as quick as he could, and as de
cently as the presence of his audience per
mitted. His preface ended, to the satia
tion no doubt of the intelligent portion
of his listeners (for it was flat, judged
without prejudice by literary and politi
cal standards,; Mr. Conkling opened his
argument with the declaration of sec
tionalism in the present issue, and waved
the ‘ bloody shirt.” Fortunately for the
truth of history “it takes two to make a
quarrel,” and in his effort to excite the
North against the South, finding no sub
stantial foe to contend with, he fought
the wind. If there is any sectional feel
ing in the present political campaign, not
a sentiment of it is to be found in the
ranks of the National Democracy. The
charge that it is there fails because of
its absurdity, the fundamental princi
ple of National Democracy, openly
and everywhere proclaimed, being
that in its political and national aims, it
seeks to abolish distinctions of North,
South, East or West. If there be sec
tional feeling in the country, it is in
jected and cultivated by the political
party with which Mr. Conkling acts.
Democrats are doing their best to cover
over the bitter memories of civil war,
and again restore national confidence and
harmony, which the reckless disorgan
izes and enemies of the Constitution in
sist upon keeping exposed. The very
term National Democracy typifies the
national fraternity it seeks to maintain.
National Democrats recognize the fact
that now, with slavery and secession
eliminated from our politics, the States,
without exception, are homogeneous in
all of the material and political condi
tions essential for a common country.
The States of the South are as free to all as
are those of New Eogland, and invite the
presence and co operation of the citizens
of the other States in developing their re
sources and building up their prosperity.
To every intelligent white man this por
tion of Mr. Cockling \s effort is therefore
lost time, and if his object was to stir up
mawkish sympathy ftr the colored peo
ple, he must be singularly ignorant of
current events not to have seen that that
race is beginning to take care of itself,
ami divide into parties on precisely the
same grounds that their white fellow
citizens affiliate in political organizations.
In support of bis windy struggles with
the imaginary “sectional issue,” Mr.
Ccnkling brought to his aid a preposter
ous letter from General Grant, who, with
the wisdom of a Lord Burleigh, an
nounced gravely tbit “the control of the
government must be kept in the hands of
the I Republican party until tee can hate
two national jnirties voting each member
freely and unrestrainedly.” The effect
of this wise saw upon the people will be
as telling as his lordship’s shake of the
head upon the pit and galleries. General
Grant cannot be so thick-headed as not
to know that there are already two na
tional parties—his own (the Radical) and
its opponent, the National Democratic—
and we may consequently regard his let
ter as a blundering effort t» mislead the
ignorant people, as he and his adherents
of aristocratic tendencies hold the masses
to be.
Mr. Conkling next charges that the
South controls the Democracy, which is
neither true nor complimentary to the
Northern Democracy; that the Democ
racy is inimical to the judiciary, and op
poses the army, none of which is to be
found in the histories of the United
States. The Democracy is opposed to
a corrupt judiciary that trails the ermine
of justice in the gutters of sectional par
tisanship, and to the use of the army to
overawe voters and intimidate Congress.
In this it defends popular rights and
maintains the Constitution, and is dia
metrically hostile to the r abuses of both
by the Radicals. At last Mr. Conkling
has condescended, but with evident re
luctance, to pat his candidates on
the head a little, and in the do
ing of it he clearly shows his prefer
ence for Arthur, the condemned of Mr.
Hayes. And then he closes.
In our criticism we have touched on
the few points of Mr. Conkling’s speech
that are worth noticing, passing over the
romances that form its chief staple.
Altogether, we arc disappointed. We
had expected something worth attentioa
from Mr. Conkling, but “the mountain
has only brought forth a ridiculous
mouse.” If that knight of the shotgun
cannot do better than this speech, Mr.
Hendricks may put on his night cap and
go to sleep, so far as any impressions
Mr. Conkling’s oratory is likely to make
on the people of Indiana. Turning him
and bis record inside out, and looking
through them both, we are at a loss to
discover, as we have been for years, by
what glamour Mr. Conkling sways as
many minds in the State of New York
as Lc does.
One Majority.—The election of a
Governor of Massachusetts many years
ago by a majority of^>ne has ever since
furnished a text for discourse upon the
importance of every voter turning out.
A Maine Treasury clerk in Washington
will probably have this preached to him
the rest of his life. He concluded that
it was useless for him to go home to
vote, as his own town, Farmington, was
always Republican by a good round ma
jority. But when the returns were in
and counted it was found that Farming-
ton had flopped. The Fusionists car
ried it by one majority, and secured the
member of the Legislature.
On Saturday last Senator Blaine, think
ing Davis was elected Governor of Maine,
telegraphed: “Helaughs best who laughs
last.” As the full returns elected Plaisted
it is easy to see where the laugh comes in.
Monroe Adtertiser: “Col. George R.
Black, of Scriven county, has been

nomination is an excellent one.
President Wadley’g Report.
In our local columns this morning
will be found the report of the President,
Mr. W. M. Wadley, and the directors
of the Central Railroad, to the stock
holders of that corporation. It will be
seen that the gross earnings of the road
during the year ending on the 31st of
August last, weie $305 943 20 more than
during the previous year, while the ex
penses were much less than usual, leav
ing a net income for the road of $329,-
GS9 35 more than on the 31st of August,
1879.
This is indeed a gratifying exhibit, and
one which will tend to make the hearts
of the stockholders glad. It will be
seen, however, that Mr. Wadley, in
that spirit of conservatism, which has
been the marked characteristic cf his ad
ministration, and which has been amply
justified by experience, cautions those
interested in the road that this is an ex
ceptionally good ieport, and that the re
suit of the work of this line may not be
so satisfactory in the future. The in
creased earnings of the road
last }ear were, in the main, due
to the general prosperity of the
entire country, and the universal revival
of business. This may, or may not,
continue: but, as the report says, even
with the same amount of traffic and
equal rates, not only an advance in the
cost of material and labor must be ex
pected, but a considerable increase in
the rolling stock of the road (to the value
of at least $200,000) must be made dur
ing the coming year. Besides this,
also contingent liabilities now un
foreseen but not unlikely to oc
cur at any time, and from which
the company has been remarkably free
during the year just past, must be con
sidered and provided against Hence,
we may infer that President Wadley and
the directors, while exceedingly pleased
wiih the present exhibit of the earnings
of the road, are not inclined to indulge
in undue elatioD, but rather warn their
stockholders from expecting too much in
the future—a very wise suggestion, cer
tainly tending to prevent possible disap
pointment and consequent abuse of the
administration.
One of the most interesting features
of this report is the allusion therein
made to the Railway Commission law of
Georgia, and the injury it is capable of
working the railways of the State. The
Commissioners are admitted to be gen
tlemen of the highest standing and
unquestioned integrity, but the
law itself is shown to be stringent and
despotic. It places unlimited authority
over the vast iron highways of the State
in the hands of the Commissioners, and,
to use ihe language of the report, “this
large property is no longer managed by
its owners, and whether its earnings are
to be greater or less virtually depends
upon the rates and rulings made by the
Commissioners, the stockholders and
directors being powerless. The mere
statement of these facts will show upon
what a precarious foundation the
value of the stock rests, and
it is believed it would even startle the
Legislature which passed the act. could
they review it in the light of experience.”
The report then proceeds to recommend
that the law be alteied so as to make
the Board of Commissioners simply a
board of arbitration to settle all differ
ences which may arise between the roads
and their patrons. This, our readers
well know, is what the News has advo
cated fiom the very first.
The entire report will be read with
great interest by all parties interested in
the Central Railroad and its connections.
As we have said, it is, upon the whole,
very gratifying, and we trust that all the
obstacles with which this great highway
h is now to contend may speedily be re
moved, and that it^nay continue to en
joy a prosperity to which, by its impor
tance and wise management, it is clearly
entitled.

gratification it affords us, both as indi

to you, and we trust that you wili be
pleased to accept this nomination, which
we feel could not have been tendered to
a worthier gentleman.

Mess r*. G. M. ltyals, Morris Daitson, P.

Breiccr, Committee :
Gentlemen—I am in receipt of your
esteemed communication of tb- 17th in
stant, formally conveying the announce
ment of my nomination as a candidate
of the Democratic party of the First
Congressional district of Georgia to the
Forty seventh Congress of the United
States. With a deep sense of gratitude
to the members of your convention for
the great honor they have thus conferred
upon me, and with a keen appreciation
of the responsibilities of the position as
signed, I accept the nomination, and in
receiving from your hands the banner of
the Democracy of the First Congres
sional district, I pledge that in my keep
ing its untarnished folds shall never trail
in the dust of an ignoble defeat, or its
lustre be dimmed by the foul breath of
corruption.
The constant aim of your Representa
tive in Congress should be to so legislate
as to ensure an honest administration of
the government under the Constitution,
economy in the expenditures of the
Treasury, a faithful and impartial exe
cution of the laws, a rigid exaction of
fidelity to duty and inconuptibility in
officials, the encouragement of the edu
cation of the people of both races by fos
tering and protecting common schools
under the proper supervision of the re
spective States; and, while legislating
for the whole country, is it is his duty
to do, at the same time to see that the
industries and the rights of his own sec
tion, like those of the West, the East
and the North, are duly regarded
and protected by an impartial and
fair distribution of the annual river
and harbor appropriations, by a
just and equal allowance of pos
tal facilities, and by the enforce
ment of uniform laws of taxation, not
only according to the letter, but the
spirit.of the Constitution. I recognize,
as a binding part of the supreme law of
the land, the amendments to the United
States Constitution, and, as the true and
best policy of the nation, the fundamen
tal principles enumerated in the platform
of the National Democratic party.
In accepting the trust so flatteringly ten
dered me, should the people, at the polls,
on the second day of November next,
ratify my nomination, I repeat the assur
ance of my unwavering devotion to its
high duties.
With my kindest regards to each of
you personally, I am most respectfully,
your obedient servant,
Geo. R. Black.

Tbe Governor Answer* Hr. Yancej’*
Charge—A Short bol Pertinent An-
»wer-Th« Official Paper* a* Certi
fied by yir. .Halcolm Jolmatou,
Secretary.
Atlanta Constitution.
To the People of Georgia: A communi
cation was published in this city on yes
terday by Mr. B. C. Yancey, the plain
and unmistakable purpose of which is to
charge that as President of the State
Agricultural Society I received $7,500
from the State for the society, which
was never accounted for. This charge
is formulated in the following language,
which I quote verbatim from his com
munication:
“It is proved that for a period of eighteen
mouths after the receipt of the money from
the State, Governor Colquitt made no account
ing for that money to the society or to the Ex
ecutive Committee. Up to this period, there
fore. no responsibility can be attached to the
Executive Committee. I am informed b> a
distinguished gentleman, who has been a mem
ber or that committee ever since, that he
knows nothmg about that sum of money, or
its disposition. He is a Colquitt man. I ap
plied to him for information in order that, if
he knew any favorable solution, I might ren
der in this article final justice to Governor Col
quitt.
*1 repeat my demand that Governor Col
quitt, over his own signature, present, through
the press, an itemized account of this jO0,
stowing the expenditure, if any, for what, and
to whom, and when paid. Let all others stand
silent, and let the Governor alone write.”
In answer to the above, without ex
pressing the indignation that any man
who values his character would feel, if
subjected to alike groundless imputation,
and without commenting on the fact that
four years of silence have followed my
resignation from the Presidency, and
that this matter is sprung immediately
before an election day in which I am vi
tally concerned, I submit to you the fol
lowing correspondence as my answer to
Mr. Yancey’s charges. It will be seen
that the Treasurer of the society, in his
first official report, made after I received
the money, acknowledges receipt of ev
ery dollar of it, and that the Auditing
Committee, in its first official report,
made after he received the money, ex
amined and approved his disbursement
of every dollar of it.

A Radical in Disguise.—A Wash
ington letter says: “It has come to be an
open secret that during the recent visit
here of General Weaver, the Greenback
candidate for the Presidency, he was in
secret consultation for some hours with
the Chairman of the Republican Con
gressional Campaign Committee, as he
was known to be on one or two previous
occasions when in Washington. General
Weaver’s whole course since the Alaba-
bama election could not have been more
cunningly devised in the interest of the
Republican andidates if. as alleged very
freely, arrangements to that effect were
made in his interview with Mr. Hubbell.
The bolt from the Greenbackers’ Conven
tion in Maine was undoubtedly due to
his efforts, but the insignificance of it
shows that his influence is not near so
great as the Republican managers had
been led to expect

Tiie Cost of Rowdyism.—Tbe New
York Police Commissioners have adopt
ed a resolution increasing the police
force one hundred men, alleged lawless
ness in the Twenty first precinct and
along the riverfront having made this ne
cessary. Rowdyism is a costly business
as tbe taxpayers are finding out.
The Republican organs have failed to
inform us where their majority of 15,000
in Maine has gone. That was the size
of it at the September election of the
la*t Presidential year. It has certainly
disappeared very mysteriously.
Ex Senator Wm. II. Barnum, Chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee, returned to Washington Tuesday
from the West. He says that Indiana
will surely go Democratic in the October
election, and t >ut Ohio is not certain for
the Republicans.
THE CONVICT CATECHISM.
Being Used a* a Republican Docu<
iuent In tbe Nortli.
Atlanta Constitution.
Mr. Fairbanks, father of the well
known engraver, called at the Constitul
Jtion office on Thursday, and stated that
his son bad been applied to by prominent
Republicans, to furnish a fac simile of
the cut of the shackled negro on the first
page of the convict catechism, “that is
printed and circulated by Mr. Norwood’s
friends.” These Republicans 6tated that
they wanted to print the “catechism” by
the thousand and circulate them through
Indiana, New York and Ohio as Repub
lican campaign matter. They said that
they had used every copy they could get,
land that they were being effectively used
as proving tbe inhuman treatment of
negroes in Georgia.
These are some of the direct effects of
the convict catechism circulated by Mr.
Norwood’s friends.
The Plot Thickens.—Mr. Norwood
is being slaughtered in the house of his
friends. General Lawton is the latest
Brutus with dagger in hand. Mr. Nor
wood is making the present canvass with
no hopes of being elected Governor, but
with the idea that it will bring him promi
nently before the Legislature as a candi
date for the Senate. He has a longing
for the “flesh-pots,” which he was forced
to abandon a few years ago. But Brutus
makes the fatal thrust, crying out that he
loved Norwood less, but the position
more. And thus dies our great C&sar,
with no Marc Antony to brood over his
untimely end.—Macon Telegraph.
