FOR GOVERNOR:
ALFRED H. COLQUITT.
Subject to Democratic Nomination.
For Congress—2d District,

OP BROOKS.
FOR PRESIDENT S
GENERAL W. S. HANCOCK,
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT :
HON. WILLIAM H. ENGLISH,
OF INDIANA.
The Convention To-Morrow.
The Atlanta Constitution'* Ublc
figures up 224)* votes for Governor
Colquitt, leaving only 9% necessary
to make the required two-thirds, and
with 8 doubtful votes. We think this
table is nearly correct. It is suffi
ciently *o to show that the Governor
ia by a very great majority the choice
of the voters of Georgia, and that his
nomination wonld bo more accepta
ble to 'he masses of the people than
would that of any other candidate.
Hi* nomination would be in harmo
ny with the wishes of the majority
of the Democratic voters; and the
duty of the Convention which assent
hies to-morrow is plain ni.d impera
tive. That duty is to regard the al
ready expressed wish of the majori
ty and nominate the man ot their
choice.
The many have spoken for Col-
qnitf; the few have declared against
him, and so great is the preponder
ance of votes in his favor that it just
ly entitles hint to the nomination. If
the opponents of Governor Colquitt
arc so bitter in their personal reeling
and animosity, that they refuse to
heed the voice of the majority, and
preveut a nomination, or center upon
a dark horse, with them must rest
the blame ot producing discord in
the party ranks. The geople of Geor
gia have declared for Colquitt The
convention to-morrow must iioml
nate him, or else the politicians will
overrido the will of tlio people.

The Letters of Acceptance.
Our readers will peruse with plea
sure the able, manly letter of accept
ance written by General Hancock.—
It is a most admirable document,
strong, concise, yet comprehensive
and statesmanlike. A press of other
matter forbids a lengthy comment on
it, but none is needed. It commends
itself to the wisdom, patriotism and
virtue of the people, and will but
serve to increase their admiration for
the man whom the Democracy have
chosen for their standard-bearer.
The letter of Mr. English is also a
good one, indicative of ability and
character of no mean order.
In the heat and haste of political
discussion and comment it sometimes
happens that expressions arc used
which are calculated to wound the
feelings of some without being so in
tended.
Wo regret that the reference to
Col. Tift’s letter, in Saturday’s News,
should have given pain and offense
to Col. Tift and some of his friends.
The relations of the editors of the
News with Col. Tift have always
been of the mostagreeableand friend
ly kind, and we have for him the
highest esteem and respect. The re
marks commenting on the letter were
intended as a political criticism, and
not as a personal attack ; and wc sin
cerely regret that it should so have
appeared. Wc have been glad here
tofore to claim Col. Tift as our per
sonal friend, anil are very sorry that
anything should have crept into the
discussion of political matters to give
him pain or offense. Wc arc glad of
an opportunity to disclaim any such
intention, and to say that political
differences have not in the least al
tered our high regard for Col. Tift’s
personal character.
The law-abiding and respectable
people of Georgia are all down upon
the foul deed recently committed
near Jonesboro. We sincerely trust
that the offenders will be discovered
and the fullest extent of the law me
ted out to them. The perpetrators
will receive no sympathy from the
good people of the State; but on the
contrary it will be everywhere re
garded as a brutal, cowardly and
malicious crime, which deserves no
mercy nor palliation, Let the full
penalty of the law be inflicted.

Garfield and Salary-Grabbing,
Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
Avery clever illustration of Gar
field’s action in the salary-grab busi
ness is found in a (true) story told by
a Plain Dealer subscriber. Two
young men were riding along a coun
try road one day last week when
they came to a line orchard, in which
and near the fence—a high board one
by the way—were two or three trees
loaded down witn harvest apples.
These were very tempting.
■‘By George, they’re nice, ain’t
they ?”said No. 1.
“They are for a fact” replied No. 2.
“Here’s a hole in the fence; let’s go
for some of’em.”
‘•But suppose the owner”—
“Owner be blanked! I’m going to
have some—so hero goes.”
And No. 2. dropped on his knees
and had filled his hat witli the juicy
fruit and turned around to join his
friend, when to his dismay lie found
himself face to face witli a subslau-
tiai looking granger bearing a fero
cious look and a big club, and accom
panied by the ugliest looking bulldog
with the most sinister grin on his
countenance, that the trespasser had
ever countenanced. A moment of
terrible silence ensued, when the man
with the club roared out:
“Wnat are you going to do with
Jlicm apples?”
“Going to put lliein hack” answer
ed the man with the apples, witli
sickly smile, as lie unloaded them i
the foot of the tree and crawled hack
through the fence with as much grace
and dignity as the circumstances
would allow.

A Cowardly Crime
WHICH MASKED MEN COMMITTED NEAR
JONESBORO.
AN INDIGNANT COMMUNITY ANl)
PROBABLE MOB LAW.
AUtnlA Post.]
About two mlics from Jonesboro,
in a log-cabin about ten feet square,
situated in the middle of a large Held
surrounded by a douse growth of
timber, lived Joe Thompson!, his son
Ids married daughter and iter two
children. The cabin is an old log
building of oue storjr and only ono
room, in which the cutiro family
were on tlio night of the murder.—
From old Thompson, whose age is &2
the following facts were learned:
About midnight Wednesday lie
heard some one pounding on Ids
door, and lie asked who was there.—
Some ono on tlio outside told Idni to
open the door slid see, hut suspect
ing that something was wrong, lie ro
fused. At the time the demand for
admittance was made Thompson was
lying on tlio floor, Ids son beside him
and Ids daughter and her two chi!
dreu in a bed. When he refused the
second time to o|ien the door, nu
effort was made to knock it iu, mid a
log in ono end of tlio building was
pulled out. The noise awoke tlio
whole family anil his son came to his
assistance in* holding the door against
the assault. Just before the door
was broken down, some one pushed
a gun through the hole in the wall
and fired. The ball struck his dauglt
ter Millie in the head, inflicting a fa
tal wound. When the shot was fired
she was sitting up in bed between her
two eliildrcn, and when the ball
crushed its way through her brain,
she fell back witli her life’s blood
flowing over her two babes, and satu
rating the clothes they wore.
About this time the door was knock
cd in and a dozen masked and armed
men rushed in and grabbed old
Thompson ami his son and dragged
them into the \ ard, where, whilst a
part of the limb held the two negroes
the rest inflicted a terrible heating.
The old matt was beaten over the
head and body shamefully. Marks of
the cruel and dastardly work were
as plain as the existence of the man
himself.
During the time the old man was
being beaten, his son Boh, made an
effort to break away from his tor
mentors and go to his father's rescue,
but was prevented by a bullet being
driven through his side.
The result of the work was the
cold-blooded murder of Millie John
son, who was quietly sleeping with
her two children, the probable fatal
wounding of Bob Thompson and the
shameful and unmerciful beating of
the old man
When asked what lie supposed ac
tuated the mob to do the hellish work
he said that about a year ago his son
nnd a Mr. Gray had a difficulty about
a plow and that a fight ensued, in
which Gray beat his son badly, and
subsequently lie had prosecuted Gray
for assault and battery md had se
cured his conviction. He recognized
the same Gray as one of his assail
ants night before last, aud supposes
lie caused the assault.
Millie Johnson lived only a few
minutes after the shooting, and died
beween her sleeping children, whilst
her father and brother were being
beaten by the mob outside.
Great feeling is manifested at Jones
boro al this gross outrage. The peo
ple in a mass meeting last night con
demned it thoroughly and requested
the Ordinary to offer a reward of
two hundred and fifty dollars for the
capture of the perpetrators of the
deed.
The Long Expected Letters.
John J. Gray, Louis Gray, and Jas.
McElroy, of Fayette, and Sain Cook,
of Clayton county, aud three others,
have been arrested. Warrants are
also out for the arrest of Bankson,
McConnell and Henry Spratiin, hut
they have not yet beeu apprehended.
On Friday night there was great ex
citement in Jonesboro. It was fear
ed that an attempt would be made
by the friends of the arrested parties
to rescue the parties, and that t he
negroes, large numbers of whom had
gathered in the town, would become
infuriated and violent. The sheriff
was unable to obtnih a posse, as the
citizens refused to leave their homes
and a telegram was sent to the Gov
ernor asking for troops. In reply the
Governor left Atlanta at half-past
12 o’clock Friday night with a de
tachment of 78 men from the Gate
City Guards, arriving at Jonesboro
at 2 o’clock. The arrivval of the
soldiers restored confidence, and the
next day the prisoners were removed
to Atlanta for safe keeping till the
meeting of Clayton Superior Court.
Every effort is being made to find
qultlie perpetrators of ttic foul deed,
nnd we hope that they will receive
the full penalty of the lnw.
New York July 30.—The follow
ing is Gen. Hancock’s letter of accep
tanco:
Governor’* Island, Neio York City,
July SO—Gknt'IEMEn : I have the lion
or to acknowledge thereceiptoryour
letter of July 13th, 1880, apprising me
formally of my nomination to the of
fice of President of the United States,
by tlio national Democratic conven
tion, lately assembled in Cincinnati.
I accept the nomination witli grate
ful appreciation of the confidence re
posed in me. The principles of tlio
convention are those 1 am authorized
to maintain in the future. The thir
teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amend
incuts to the Constitution of the Uni-
nited Slates, embodying lire results
of the war for the union, are inviola
ble. If called to tlio presidency 1
should deem it iny duty to resist
witli all of my power atty attempt to
impair tlio full force and effect of tho
constitution which iu every article,
section and amendment is the su
preme law ot the land. The constitu
tiou forms the basis of the govern
ment of the United States. The pow
ers granted by it to the legislative,
executive ami judicial departments
define and limit tlio authority of the
general government. The powers
not delegated to the United States by
the constitution noj prohibited by it
to the States belong to the States re
spectively or to the people in general
and the State governments, each act
iug iu its own sphere, without trench
iug upon the lawful jurisdiction of
tlie general government, constitute
this union. This union, equipping
the general government witli gener
al powers and the State governments
with Stato powers for purposes local
to the States, is a policy the fouda-
tions of which were laid in the pro-
foundest wisdom. This is the union
our fathers made and which lias been
respected abroad and so beneficent at
home. Tried by blood and fire, it
stands to-day a model form of free
popular government—a practical sys
tem which, rightly administered, lias
been, nnd will continue to be, the ad
miration of the world—may we not
say, tlio wonder of the world.
The unity of government which
constitutes us one people is justly dear
to us. It is the main pillar in tho ed-
ficc of our real independence—the
support of our peace, safety prosperi
ty, and of that liberty wc so highly
prize, aud intend, at every hazard, to
preserve. But no form of govern
ment. however carefully devised—
no principles, however souml—will
protect tiie rights oj the people unless
their administration is faithful and
efficient. It is a vital principle in
Our system that neither fraud nor
force must be allowed to subvert the
rights of the people. The bayonet is
not a tit instrument for collecting the
votes of freemen. It is only by a
free vote, free ballot and lair count,
that the people enn rule in fact, as re
quired by the theory of our govern
ment. Take this foundation away,
and the whole structure falls.
P.iblic office is a trust, not n bounty
bestowed upon the holder. No in
competent or dishonest person should
ever be entrusted with it; or if ap
pointed he should lie promptly eject
ed. The basis of a substantial, prac
tical civil service reform must first
lie established,by the people in filling
the elective offices. If they fix n
high standard of qualification for of
fice and sternly reject corrupt and in
competent men, the result will he de
risive in governing the action of the
servants whom they entrust with the
appointing power.
The war for the Union was success
fully closed mure than fifteen years
ago. All classes of our dcoplc must
share alike in the blessings of the Un
ion, and are equally concerned in its
perpetuity and in a proper adminis
tration of public affairs. Wc are in a
state ot profound peace. Henceforth
let it be our purposcjto elevate friend
ship, and bear no animosity against
our fellow citizens- Our material in
terests. varied and progressive, dc
maud our constant and united effort*.
A sedulous and scrupulous care of
the public credit, together with a
wise management of our goverment
expenditures, should be maintained,
in order that the latter may be light
ly burdened, and that persons may be
protected in their right to the fruits
of their own industry. The lime has
come to enjoy the substantial benefits
of reconciliation—as one people, we
have their interests at heart. If elect
ed, I shall, with divine favor, labor
with what ability I possess to dis
charge my duties. I am, most re
spectfully,

To John W. Stevenson, president of
the convention; Hon. Jno. P.

the committee of the national Dem
ocaatic convention.
The editor of the Phonograph, in
Ids zeal for the people, aud liisbitter
ness to Governor Colquitt, gels very
much excited nnd swears lustily.—
Hear him:
“If Governor Colquitt is nomina
ted, wc swear liy the saints that the
Phonograph will not support him,
lmt do all iu its power to defeat him.
The lime has not come yet when the
people arc to tic bull-ragged into
supporting a man who is not capable
aud docs not deserve the high office
he lias once disgraced by his bad
management.”
We don’t exactly know what the
intelligent editor means by “hull-
rngging.” It is, however, very evi
dent that a majority of the people
have been induced, by some means,
most probably their good sense nnd
true appreciation of nobility of char
acter, into supporting Gov. Colquitt,
and the editor of the P. may resl as
sured Hint if Colquitt is nominated
the “hull-ragged” people will elect
him by a rousing majority, the E. of
the P. nnd his “power” to the contra
ry notwithstanding.
Indianapolis, July 30.—Hon. Win
II. English transmitted the following
letter of acceptance of the nomina
tion as candidate for Vice-President
to the committee of notification to
day:
To Hon. Jno. W. Stevenson, presi
dent of the convention, Hon. Jno. P.
Stockton, chairman, and other mem
hereof the committee of notification
Gentlemen: I have now the honor
to reply to your letter of tiie 13th
inst., informing me that 1 was unani
mously nominated for Vice-President
of the United States by the late Dem
ocratic national convention which as
sembled al Cincinnati. As foreshad
owed in the verbal remarks made by
me al the lime of your letter, I have
now to say that I accept Hie high
trust with a realizing sense of Us re
sponsibility, and am profoundly
grateful for tlio iionor confercd. I
accept the nomination upon the plat
form of principles adopted by tlio
convention, which I cordially ap
prove, and I accept it quite as much
because of my faith in the wisdom
nnd patriotism of the great statesman
and soldier nominated on the same
ticket for President of the United
States. Ills eminent services to iiis
country, his fidelity to the constitu
tion, union ami laws, his clear per
ception of the correct principles of
government, as taught by Jefferson
his scrupulous care to keep the mili
tary in strict subscrvicnco to the civil
authority, his high regard for civil
liberty, pcrsonnl rights nnd the rights
of property, his acknowledged abili
ty in civil as well as military affairs,
and his pure and blameless life, all
point to him ns a man worthy of the
confidencc of the people. Not only a
brayc soldier, a great, wiso man and
pure patriot, but a prudent, pains
taking, practical man, of unquestion
ed honesty, trusted often witli impor
tant public duties nnd always faith
ful to every trust, nnd iu the full me
ridian of a ripe and vigorous man
hood, he is, in my judgment, suited
for the highest position on earth. Not
only is lie tho right mnu for the place,
but tiie time lias come when Hie best
interests of tiie country requires that
tho party which has monopolized Hie
general government for the Inst twen
ty years shall yield. It was n "riev-
ous wrong to every voter and our
avstem of self-government, which
should never be forgotten or torgiv-
en, that many of the men now iu of.
fleo were put there because of cor
rupt partizan services, thus defeating
the fairly and legally expressed will
of the majority; aud the hypocrisy
of the professions of that party in fa
vor of civil service reform was shown
by placing such men in office.' The
money of the people, taken out of the
public treasury by these men, for ser
vices often poorly performed or not
performed nt all, is being used in
vast sums, with tho knowledge and
presumed sanction of the administra
tion, to control elections, nnd even
members of the cabinet are strolling
about the country making partisan
speeches, instead of being iu their de
triments at Washington discharge
ng the public duties for which they
are paid by the people. But with nil
their cleverness and ability discrimi
nating men will no doubt rend be
tween the lines of their speeches that
their paramount hope mid aim is to
keep themselves or Hieir satellite*
four years longer in office; Hint per
petuating the power of chronic Fed
eral office-holders four years longer
will not benefit the millions of men
and women who held no office but
earn their daily bread by honest in
dustry. This contest is in fact be
tween the people, endeavoring to re
tain Hie political power which right
fully belongs to them, and to restore
the pure, simple, economical govern
ment of our fathers, on one side, and
a hundred thousand Federal oflice-
lioldcrs and their backers, pampered
with place aud power, and determin
ed to retain them at all hazards, on
the other. Hence Hie constant as
sumption of new aud dangerous
powers by the general government
under the rule of the Republican
party, tiie effort to build up ivhat they
call a strong government, the inter
ference with home rule and with Hie
administration of justice in the courts
of the several States, the interference
with elections, through Hie medium
of partisan Federal office-holders, in
putting their party in power. Our
success would bury beyond resurrec
tion sectional jealousies mid hatreds
which have so long been the chief
stock in trade of pestiferous demago
gues, and in no other way can this
be so effectually accomplished. It
would re-assure good feeling be
tween nil sections, anil make them in
fact, as well as in name, one people.
The only rivalry then, would he in
the race for development, the eleva
tion of labor, tiie enlargement of hu
man rights, Hie promotion of educa
tion, morality, religion, liberty, and
all that would tend to make us fore
most in human progress. 1 am, witli
great respect, very truly yours,

A NEW KIND OF WATCH CASE.
New because It Uonly withl i the last few years the
it has beeu Improved and brought within the reecto
of every one; old in principle because the Ant In
vention was made and the first patent taken out
nearly twenty yean ago, and cases made at that time
and worn ever since, are nearly as good as our.—
Read the following, which is only one case of many
hundreds; your Jeweler can tell of similar ones:
Mansfield, Pa , May 28,1875.
I have a customer who has carried one of BomP
Patent Cases fifteen yean and I knew U two years
before he got it, and it now appeals good for tea
yean longer. R. K. OLNEY, Jeweler.
Remember Jas. Boss'is the only Patent Case made
of two plates of aolid gold (one outside and one la-
side) covering every part exposed to wear or lUkk
the great advantage of these solid plates over elec
tro-gilding is apparent to everyone. Boss’ Is the
