Tho Senatorial Oonvention of the 37th district,
assembled at Franklin ou the 15th inst. Hon.
A. II. Cox, of Troup was made chairman, aud F.
S. Loitiu, of Heard, secretary. Dr. E. D. Pit
man, of Troup, was named by Mr. J. E. Davis,
of Troup; John A. Speer, Esq., of Troup, was
named by J. W. F. Little, Esq., oi West Point;
and Dr. J. T. Slaughter, of Carroll, was uamed
by a delegate from Carroll. These three gen
tlemen were voted for, aud a few complimentary
votes were given to others, up to the twenty-
seventh ballot, when Dr. Slaughter’s name was
withdrawn, aud a resolution complimentary to
his course in tho Senate was passed. Tho votes
wero givon to Messrs. Speer aud Pitman until
the thirty-eighth ballot, when Mr. Speer was
nominated, Tho nomination was then made
unanimous. *
Mr. John A. Speer, the candidate, is one of
tho best lawyers in Western Georgia. He him
never held office, lie was iu the Confederate
service throughout tho war, haviug entered it
iu the LaGruugo Light Guards. Since the war,
ho has boou busily engaged in his prolession,
and lias boon eminently succtssiul in it. Ho is a
high-toned gentleman, a man of the strictest
integrity aud noted for his fidelity to any busi
ness entrusted to him. If eleoted to the office
of Senator, as we havo no doubt ho will be, he
will carry to the discharge of his duties uu abil
ity aud a faithfulness which will be creditable
ulike to himself aud his constituents.
There aro reports that he is not a resident of
this county. These uru incorrect. Homo three
years ago, ho was induced, for private reusous
which need not bo mentioned here, to spend u
good deal ot his time in Atlanta. He therefore
bought a house in that city; but when ho did
so, he published iu the LaGruugo Reporter, in
conformity to law, a card to the effect that his
domicile was still iu Troup couuty. Ho has
paid his poll tax in this county, voted here, per
formed road duty hero, and iu lact lullilled all
the requirements of legul citizenship. No one
need hesitate to support him on the ground
mentioned. He has all the time regarded his
farm near Hogausville as his home.
A NEW BOOK AND A GOOD ONE.
‘The Footprints of time; and a Completo anal
ysis of our American System rtf (Joverumeut,
with a concise history ot tho origin and pro
gress of civilization; the relations of tho old
world to the free institutions ot the now; the
establishment and growth of the English
colonies, ami of the United States of America.”
UNSAFE AND UNWISE COUNSELORS.
General Robert Toombs and Hon A. H. Stephens havo
recently written letters for publication opposing the re
moval of the cupital to Milledgeville. General Toombs is
an able lawyer aud eloquent orator, but ho lias uever
beou cousidered a very sale advisor. Mr. Stephens has
rendered aud is rendering valuable service to the coun
try, but his record shows that his judgment it* uo means
infallible.— Augusta Granule and CvntlitulionalUt.
The Cincinnati Euquiror says: “Governor
Hendricks is quietly attending to his law prac
tice. He will remain iu peace until 1880, when
he and his friends intend to make a rush for the
Presidency. He will make a hot tight for it.”
Mr. U. M. Johnston, of liaiubridge, wants a
situation, either as editor or printer, or both, on
some Georgia or Florida paper. Mr. Johnston
has had considerable experience iu journalism,
and the paper that secures bis services will do
well.
The Weekly Seaport Appeal, of Brunswick,
has been revived by Mrs. Smith, the widow ol
Mr. T. F. Smith, who died daring the yellow
fever epidemic in that city last > v eaT. The Ap
peal is a handsome, well-tilled paper and ought
to succeed, os we hope it will.
Ii is really too bad that not a solitary man of
distinction will come out for Milledgeville. All
the hard work is left to a few enthusiastic edi
tors. Wo caunot recollect a solitary person who
has advocated Milledgeville over his own signa
ture. Auouymous letters are abundant, but
what does an anonymous writer amount to?
Ir is to the credit of the Southern press that
notwithstanding the bitterness exhibited by
Senator Morton towards the South, aud which
was heartily reciprocated by the Southern peo
ple, it bos treated of his character aud career in
obituaries with respect and charity that are
equally considerate aud surprising. These
amenities of politics oo6t little, and they go a
long way towards bridging the chasm ot sec
tionalism. —Philadelphia Times.
The crisis Is evidently approaching iu Franco,
and it is the opinion of a well informed corres
pondent of the Manchester Guardian that civil
war is ouly a question of weeks, perhaps of dayp.
MacMubou is unyielding and arrogant, aud the
Chamber determined and compact. The cor
respondent says MacMahon is entirely in the
hands of tho Bonnpartists and Clericals, and
would long since have resorted to force but fer
fear of Germany and Italy.
Exactly so. General Toombs, twice sent to
the Uuited States Souate, aud placed at the
head otthe Confederate Cabinet; aud Mr. Steph
ens, whose statesmanship is the admiration of
North and South, nud who was not long since
the ideal Statesman of one of the editors of the
Chronicle aud Constitutionalist, are both unsafe
counselors. And so is Bcu Hill, the muster
wiud ol the Uuited States Senate; aud so is
Nat Hammond, tho peer of any lawyer in the
mud; nud so is Augustus Reese, who was chos
en by tho Georgia Democracy as their leader iu
the darkest hour of 1808; ttud so is Win. M.
Reese tho wisest law-maker Georgia has had in
her counsels for many years; so are they all un
safe and unwise advisers.
Who are the sale advisers of the people?
We can tell you. They aro first aud foremost
the talented statesmen of the Augusta Chronic
le; aud ii. H. J., the italic statesman of the
Macon Telegraph; aud Speer & Ham, the vet
eran statesmen of the Miliedgevihe “Old Cap
ital;” aud Joe Nisbet, the poet-statesman ot the
Baldwin Couuty Calamus-plats; those are the
men whom the people delight to follow. Then
there are others; lor example: Peter O’Neal
whom Baldwin couuty has sent so olten to the
Legislature; aud George Wallace, aud James
Fitzpatrick, aud Muck Davis and J. W. Carter,
and others whom we caunot name now. People,
which party will you follow ?
Such is the ttile of a book which contains more
valuable information than is usually found in
one volume. Wo are surprised on examining
tho work, to find in it so much that evory citi
zen ought to know, concerning tho nature aud
history of our government. It is different from
any book with which wo are acquainted, in that
it is more a treatise on the nature of our gov
ernment than a history of tho nation.
Far a person who wants to know why
the government was formed how it was
formed, what is its nature, how it operates,
and who has not time to study a large
number of books, this ouo seems to us invalua
ble. The historical part is very compact aud
embodies a great deal in a limited space. The
second part which treats of the liaturo aud con
struction of tho three co-ordinate branches of
the government, tho executive, the legislative
ami the judicial, is esj ecially interesting. Iu a
word, ii supplies at a small cost, a long-felt
want.
Mr. Twiforth, the agent, is now iu LuGrunge.
The book has 732 largo octavo pages, and soils
for $3.75 & $4.50.
The Capture or Kars.—A special dispatch to
tho Loudon Daily News, dated Viran Kuleh,
Sunday evening, says tho fortress and city ot
Kars,with 300 cannons,stores,ammunition,cash,
etc. fell iuto Russian hands. Tho Turks lost
live thousand killed and wounded, ten thousand
piisonurs aud many Hags. Tho Russian loss is
about twenty-seven hundred. Tho Russian sol
diers made but tntio ot booty aud spared tho
peace.ul citizens, women and children. Gener
al Louis Melikoti' directed tho battle during tho
day. Grand Duke Michael was * present also.
The former entered the city at 11 o’clock Sun
day morning.
FORAGING ON OUR EXCHANGES.
Hon. A. H. Stephens has introduced a bill
for the financial relief of the country, to facili
tate a return to specie payments, without injuri
ously affecting the commercial business and in
dustry ol the people. It is referred to tho com
mittee on banking aud currency. It provides
for the issue ol 350 millions of Exchequer bills,
with which legal tender notes are to be redeem
ed,aud lor the issue of three per cunt, bonds iu
to which tho Exchequer bills may be cxchauged
at par; the bills to be receivable for ail debts,
public und private.
We find, notwithstanding the figures of tho
Constitution, there is u prospective patronage
that is enough to eucouiago prudent capitalists
to invest in hotels here, when wo get the capi
tal buck.
The above is from tho Milledgeville Recorder,
and admits that the town will not support a hotel
without the capital. Aud some people think
tho State of Georgia ought to move tho capital
back to that superannuated town in order to
build it up!
•TALMAGE ON MORRISSEY.
Rev. Dr. Talmaqe is alter John Morrissey
agaiu. Here is what he said iu a recent ser
mon: “The le-elcction ol John Morrissey to the
office of State Senator seemed to be a neccessity
iu order that all decent people might realize
what we have come to. And to make the thing
more conspicuous he has been re-elected, not
by his old-time partisans, but by Republicans.
Hamilton Fish, General Grant’s Secretary of
State, voted for him. Fetor Cooper the irieud
of education and the founder of a great institute,
voted for him. The brown-stone fronts voted
for him. The avenue equipages voted for him
Murray Hill voted for him. If some of you had
lived there you would have voted for him.
Meauwhile gambling is made honorable 1 Three
cheers for the plug-uglies ! aud the dead-beats,
aud the ruffians of the Sixth ward. While the
news was last Tuesday night beiug received at
the political head-quarters, the gambling hells
also waited lor the glad tidings; but the chief
head-quarters of that movement was Perditiou,
aud as the returns came in Satan laughed, until
all the arches echoed with glee.”
How to Make a Speechless Man Tell the
Truth—J. I. Littlepage, who was found guilty
iu tho Henrico couuty (Va.) Court, of forgery,
alter three trials, aud wus believed to have been
seized with paralysis and become speechless,
has been put under the influence of chloroform
by a medical commission and found to be leigu-
iug speechlessuess. Littlepage lius kept up tliiS
deceit ever siuce June last, and has never been
kuown to utter a word until put uudor the influ
ence ot drugs.
Field &, Leiter’h dry goods heuse in Chicago
was burned last Thursday night. The building
except the two lower floors was completely gut
ted. An accident happened to the firemen, by
which one was killed outright and four others
taken from the ruins so budly injured that they
will probably die. The building cost 750,000,
and the stock of goods was valued at $1,000,000.
Eight hundred employes are thrown out ol woik.
We aro requested to notify Methodists in this
part of tho State, tbat those who attend the
North Georgia Conference,to convene at Gaines
ville ou the 28th inst, will pay full fare going
aud return free on presenting the certificate of
the Secretary of the Conference. This applies
to all the railroads except the Georgia. On that
road, return tickets will be furnished by the
railroad agents from whom the original tiokets
are bought.
Senator Eaton wishes to amend tho Consti
tution so as to provide for a tribune in each
State which shall have juiisdiction of questions
growiug out of tho State in Presidential elec
tions. We aro afraid, says the Augusta Chroni
cle, these tribunals would imitate Bradley’s
ComraUsiou and decide in favor of the candi
date of tho party which had a majority of the
Judges. Better do away with the electoral col
lege humbug aud havo a direct vote in Presi
dential as in other elections.
The President having pardoned Thomas H.
Biuyon, convicted ol making false entries iu the
books of the Atlanta National Bank, the officers
ol the bank, including the direotors, make a
respoct.'ul, bat positive protest to the President
against such executive clemency. They say
they went to considerable expense to convict
Blnyon, and that the proper punishment ought
to follow, ns a means of protecting banks against
thier book-keepers, who havo abuudaut oppor
tunities to commit such crimes.
Wife Murder in Church.—A Philadelphia
telegram of last Sunday, says: At noon to-day,
shortly before the conclusion of the services at
St. Luke’s M. E. Chapel on Lombard street, the
congregation were terribly startled by the report
of a pistol and the suddeu falling to the floor of
a womau, who hud been seated in one of the
pews. It was ascertained that the shot was fired
by a mau named Alex. Sayers, residing at 614
South Fifteenth street aud that his victim was
bis wife, from whom he had beou separated for
the lust two years.
He had entered the (hurch during the ser
vices, and seating himself in the baok pew, run
ning behind his wife, shot her iu the back, in
flicting a probably mortal wound. Mrs. Sayers
was removed to the Pennsylvania Hospital,
where she how lies in a critical condition. It is
said that Mr.Sayers had never made any threats
against Lis wile,aud his act to-day w totally un
explained.
SLOW BUT SURE POISON.
The Louisville Courier-Journal, which is
published in a State where whisky ought to be
good if auywhere, confirms the statement tbat
probably nine hundred and ninety-nine gallons
out of every thousand that are sold as brandy
are made from a vile compound ol whisky swill,
distilled spirits and chemical abominations,
and adds: “And as it is also true of whisky,
what iu the name of goodness are we all to do
for something to drink ? It looks as if we were
to be driven to the pump in spite of ourselves.
If the world at large k ew what villainous stuffs
brandy and whisky aud wiues are made of, tlie
present crop of drunkards would be about the
last, or at any rate, all future crcps would be
small. Nearly or quite all of the liquors that
are retailed now-a-days are undoubtedly a slow
but Bure poison, aud to drink them habitually
is simply a rouudabout way of committing sui
cide, aud uuless you guard yourself carefully
the way is not so roundabout either.”
Mayor Huff, of Macon, called on the oitizens
of that place, to unite in support of Col. H. H.
Jones for nomination to the Legislature because:
Mr. Jones has been one of tho most arduous and effec
tive champions of Milledgeville, und as such lias drawn
down upon himself tho auimodversious of numerous
persons and newspapers. It is due to him and to the
cause of removdl, therefore, that his endorsement by the
pe< pie of liibb should be us uuunimous as it is emphatic.
I understand that ho * * • * now only wishes the
verdict of his lellow citizens iu behalf oi the stand which
his paper has taken upon the cupital question.
If the people took tho surne view as Mayor
Huff, then “the cause of removal” received a
most unhealthy stab, for Col. Jones was de
feated 1 Alas, the ingratitude of republics!
However, the Colonel can still go down the
Southwestern road and st< p thirty minutes a
Smithville. ♦
Da. Tresbam D. Gbeqo, a renowned con
troversialist of Dubliu, has challenged “Bob In-
gersoll to a publio debate. The conditions are
these: Dr. Gregg is witling, if defeated in the
oontest, to retire from his work of propagating
the GoBpel, and to withdraw from circulation
bis numerous theological works. Ou the other
hand if Ingersoll is beaten, he must forever nf-
terward hold his pence against the Christian re
ligion, and must also withdraw from circulation
bis dangerous book and other anti-orthodox
documents.
A telegram dated 17th, from Reading,Penn.,
says: The Reading Savings Bank, with nearly a
million dollars on deposit, Bussong & Bros,
bankers, with liabilities oi $300,000, and Duers
Savings Bank have suspended. These are cheer
ful news items to ccme from one town.
A large number of colored people of Missis
sippi have petitioned Congress, through Senator
Bruce, for an appropriation of $100,OUO to ena
ble them to migrate to Liberia. This request is
as characteristic ae it is modest. Many of the
colored people think the object of government is
to supply their wants—give them laud, mules
aud provisions.

-Iu tlie next General Assembly, Haucock
county will be represented iu the Senate by
Hon. C. W. DuBose, and iu tho House by his
sou, Mr. A. Miller DuBose.
—The cigar stoic of Rich, the candy staud
next door aud the meat store of Sparks & Tye
were burned in Atlanta Monday night. Loss,
$3,000; insured iu Liverpool, Loudon nud Globe
for $2,000.
—A negro uamed Mitchell Thomas was found
dead in Oooliee creek, Columbia county, last
Friday, between L. D. Walton’s aud W. A. Wal
ton’s plantations. He wus horribly mangled
about the head, and his throat was cut from ear
to ear. He was missed last Wednesday week.
It wus supposed that he was killed by another
negro, named Wm. Paine. Paine has left the
couuty, and it is thought that he is iu South
Caroliua.
—Iu Whitfield county the hay crop is very
flue. The Dalton Citizen says there are more
and larger grunters raised iu that county this
season than any year since the war.
—The Augusta Cotton Seed Oil Copauy is in
full tide of successful operation, aud is paying
filty ceuts per hundred for surplus cotton seed,
whioh will be returned teufold in the shape of
“olive oil.”
—The Atlanta Constitution Bays: “Atlanta
furnishes the Chaplain to Congress, in tho per
son ol Dr. Harrison, and the keeper of the
House saloon iu the persou of Mr. fid Mercer.
It will be perceivtd that the Gate City runs both
ends of tbe maohiue.”
—This is an industrial item from Thomas
county, which we can commend as an example:
“Wade Cane, oue of the industrious colored far
mers of Thomas county, made this year four
bales of cotton with one ox. He also made
eighty bushels of corn, three and a half stacks
of fodder, two hundred and fifty bushels of po<
tatoes, twelve bushels of rice, bix bushels ot
field peas, one barrel of syrup, aud will fatten
seven head of hogs.”
—Hon. W. E. Smith introduced a bill into
tho House of Representatives for the improve
ment of Flint river. The Albany News appos
itely remarks that if Flint river was a New En
gland stream, thousands of wheels and millions
of spindles would long ago have kept time to
the music of its rippling waters. Smoke Btacks
would steam up and down, and with barges,
bear the produce of the fertile lauds along its
bunks. Capt. Smith is an aotive member of
Congress, and this is the proper tin^e to take
hold of this matter, as all bitter political excite
ment has subsided, and the heads of our M. C.’s
are turned iu the directiou of material improve
ment.
— Ou Tuesday last, in a personal rencounter
at Tift’s distillery, sixteen miles from Albany,
Mr. Rush Moree shot to death tho distiller, Mr.
Ricthler.
The Mobile (Ala.) Register says that that
