DECATUR'S VOICE!
Four Votes for Colquitt.
HEATED CONTEST AND MADDENED
OPPOSITION.
Bainbridge, Ga., July 17lh, 1880.
Editor* Albany ATeic* :
The Democratic Convention to-day
to nominate delegates to the Guber
natorial Convention at Atlanta, was
a stormy one. After its organization,
John K. Ponelson moved the conven
tion proceed to ballot for Colquilt
nnd nuli-Colquitt delegates, thus at
tempting to pool Hie opposition
against Colquitt, supporting Ilia mo
tion hy an ill-tempered speech ngninst
Coiqnitt, nnd intimating that if lie
was nominated hy the convention at
Atlanta, the opposition would not
support him. His motion was
promptly defeated by the friends of
Colquitt, a debate ensuing that for
bitterness is rarely surpassed. The
adherents of the opposition seemed to
linvc worked themselves Into a per
fect frenzy. Not only did they pour
forth via'.s of wrath upon Colquitt,
but were, in some instances, Insulting
to liis friends who dared to oppose
their views. At the close of the pro
tracted debate, Air. Lcn AI. Griffin
offered a resolution that the conven
tion proceed to ballot for the respec
tive candidates, and tho one receiv
ing the highest number of votes be
entitled to delegates. This motion
was bitterly fought hy the anti-Co!
quilt men. DoucDon again offering
as n substitute Ills former motion, in
dulging agaiu in a wratliv vein of
abuse of Colquitt. Griffin's motion
being carried itt a large majority.—
The till-frauli'-1.-atiers of the nppo
sition: Do.-cLon for Hardeman,
nnd I). A. ltussell for I.ester, called
upon their supporters and Gartrcll’s
to unite against Colquitt. The Chair
appointed II. II. Bower, IV. II. Craw
ford nnil J. AI. Rosciifichl tellers, and
the ballot proceeded.
result:
Colquitt 138
Hardeman 118
Alajority for Colquitt 20
The delegates chosen are George A
Wight, John P. Dickinson, E. C. Altin
nerlyihand T. A. Barrow.
Aladdcncil l>y defeat, Hon. D. A.
Russell declared that “if it was evi
dent that when the convention met
in Atlanta Colquitt would be the
choice of the people, the Lester men
would hurst up the convention.”
This assertion came with had grace
from the accredited spokesman of
man whose adherents hare been
howling through tlic laud that A. H
Colquitt would not abide the action
of tlic convention. If this be the un
democratic intention of Lester and
his followers, the sooner the party is
apprised of their treason the better.

Tito Recent Fatal Duel.
A Strong and AIanly Letter From
Senator Butlf.r.
Edgefield C. II., July13,1880.
Messrs. Ii Iordan tfc Damson—Dear
Sirs : I want to say to you that you
have my hearty emlorsoment in the
position you have taken in reference
to the Cash-Shannon tragedy. It is
no reflection upon the memory of the
gallant gentleman of the past whore-
sorted to the duello to settle their per
sonal differences to ask that the law
be vindicated in this case. In former
days tlic most punctilous decorum
and chivalric courtesy distinguished
the conduct of gentlemen in “affairs
of honor,” and coarse ribaldry and
gasconade in correspondence was as
odious as the brand of cowardice
hut now the “swash-buckler style
appears to be fashionable.
The issue is very sharply mado be
tween those who trample law dell'
antly under foot and those who exe
cute it, aud I do hope that courage
enough may lie found to execute it.
It will he a sad day for South Car
olina when a gentleman, who feels it
to lie his personal or pcofessional du
ty to vindicate private rights in our
Courts, is first to be insulted, pursued
villified and goaded to desperation!
and then shot. If that is to he the
plane which our civilization is to oc
cupy, we shall all he sleeping on our
arms. And there must be something
radically wrong in a public seuti
ment which can force a man of Shan
lion's high character and acknowl
edged courage to fight a duel under
the circumstances which surrounded
him. It is about time we were find
ing out where we are, and ascertain
whether “Inirdcr ruffianism” is to
govern this country or whether civil
ized institutions shall he maintained
I express no opinion on the merits
of this difficulty, for I know nothing
of it, except what I have secu in the
public prints; blit Ido venture the
opinion tliat it is tlic first time in tlic
history of duelling in South Carolina
tlial a' man has been shot for doing
wlmt lie had, in mornls null law,
clearly tlic right to do, and for doing
wliat il was his sworn duty to do, to
wit: faithfully representing the in
tcresls of his clients in the Courts
•gainst parlies who had themselves
gone into tho Courts. It ia without
a paiTlici either in Hie issue made or
the manner of its conduct.
You are doing your share of pub
lic duty in a proper manner—pardon
me for saying so—and I believe tliat
uiue-tenfliK of tlic respectable people
of the Stale will sustain you.
You may count on my doing so in
any way that I properly may.
Very truly, yours, Ac.,

AIr. Tilden and tiik Democratic
National Commitke—On Wednesday,
after attending to routine business, the
National Executive Committee appoint
ed to make formal notification of their
nominations to general Hancock and Air.
English, did a graceful act by vailing
upon Air. Tilden. They went to.the ex
governor’s residence in a formal way,
in their official capacity, and then and
there, through their spokesman, ex-Sen-
ator Stevenson, the president of the Cin
cinnati Convention, recognize Air. Tilden
as the President dkjurk of the United
States, commending him for his patriot
ism and noble self denial in laying down
his claims four years ago to avert civil
war, and also for his equally patriotic
self-denial in saving the party front a
#aetion fight hy withdrawing in 1880.
Air. Tildcn’s brief response was dignified
and manly, lie said tliat a solution
whicli enabled the Democratic party
of the United States to vindicate ef
fectively the riglit'of the people to choose
their Chief Magistrate, and which at the
same time relieved him from the burden
of tlic canvass and of four years of ad
ministration, wag at once worthy of the
occasion and agreeable to him personal
ly. lie gave General Hancock his best
wishes, promised him his individual sup
port and co-operation, nnd thought tliat
lie would be elected.
The associated press agent informs
tlic newspapers that Gen. Hancock,
having been interviewed by him,
stated tliat his letter of acceptance
would not be ready possibly before
u fortnight or more. He had not
commenced it yet, visitors and busi
ness taking up his time. All can
cheerfully wait for it.
General Steadman, of Ohio, opened the
canvass for Hancock at Toledo on the
8th. Among other things his speech con
tained was a very thorough exposure of
the silliness of the talk iu the Republican
press almut Garfield’s conduct at Chicka-
uiniign. General Steadman, who up to
the time of Garfield’s nomination had
licen known as the “hero of Cliicknninii-
ga,” said lie knew- nlmut tliat skirmish,
am) as far as lie knew Garfield command
ed oil that day just two men—himself
anil Ids orderly. Garfield was a good
volunteer soldier, continued general
Steadman, Imt to compare him with
Hancock was like conipairng a Tomtit to
the American eagle. It was General
Steadman’s opinion tliat nothing but
trickery could defeat Hancock, and lie
warned the Itepulicaiis tliat if trickery
was attempted it would bo at their |H-ril.
Worth Democracy asseinhles at la-
alielhi In-morrow.' The meeting
promises to he a large one.

audned his account- nnd not only de
clared everything all rigid, Imt compli
mented him for sacrifices lor llie Union.
Since then he lias had no dealings with
tiie Union. The last committee to whom
the matter was referred, have delayed
rc|H>rt to get the statement officially that
Colquitt has hail nothing to do with the
Union since the Inst report.
This is not all. When tiie Macon mid

In January lie wrote Gov. Colquitt it let

MR. PAINE AS A GRANGE AGENT.
After repeated applications from
Air. Faine, the executive committee
of tiie State Grange (which never
hart any connection with the Direct
Trade Union) told him tliat lie might
take die state agency' of tlmt body
(the State Grange) if lie could make
anything out of it. This was to till
the place of the former agent. Air. J.
11. Ketncr, who had resigned because
there was no money in the position.
The executive committee, in consid
eration of the position not being a
lucrative one, told Alt'. Faine he need
not give any bond. Soon after, there
was an advertisement iu llie South
ern Husband mail, published, we
think, in Tennessee, in which Mr.
Paine claimed Hint he hart given a
bond of $10,000, which had been a/>-
jtrored by the executive committee

Read the following, which is only one cam of many
‘-undreds; your Jeweler can tell of .similar ones:
