TaTc convention, ami approve iltcir
•etion. But in the present exelleti
ami confnseil stale ofnflnirs, we lliiuk
that a discussion of llic convciilion
ami its actions trill not tcml lo allay
passion anil to promote that sober
ness of inimt amt restraint of feeling
which we believe essential to' the
goml of the state. Our own preju
dice anil predilections in the premi

their nrffent and persistent expres

10 faithfully present Hie 'situation to
onr readers unmarked hv onr own
opiuious, and unencumbered with
our own views and prejudices. When
passion shall have given way lo a
more rational slate of mind, and
Iroui the chaos of fact, and rumor
ami assertion, thegrain so I' truth'shall
eoine forth, we shall earnestly en
deavor to diarorer the- right, and
shall surely insist upon it with all Ike
power and earnestness of one nature.
Till then, we shall studiously en
deavor lo refrain from any comment
that will lend lo prolong Hie excite
ment and bitterness of current dis
cussion. IVe would counsel modera
tion—nay. even a total abstinence
from a discussion of existing affairs.

afford lo await till affairs take a more
ilelinitc shape, and all Ihe excitement

trust they will do so.

FROM FELTON’S BEAT.
TIIK STATE CAMPAlHX—SlllIKT I.KTTEK
FltltM THE ABSENT KIMTOIt.
Bartow Co., (-a. Aug. 11, 1S80.
Afti-rllio storm at tlm Capital I
sought me repose ill the hills anil val
leys of Barlow. Even a Colquitt-or
ganized man can liml rest here, anil
itnhoumlc-it hospitality, so long as he
Terrains from allusion to politics.
The gonial anti clever hospitality will
still he showered upon him, socially
speaking, hilt the haulier t.r Felton-
Ism against Colqiiittism is the honor-
ed and recognized standard of this
people. Allusion against it is not pal
atable to our Independent friends.
Well, I ain convinced of one fact
Felton lias a life lease upon the voters
of Ihe Seventh District, anil the con
tract has bccu made iron-bound hy
the smash-up in Atlanta.
I witnessed with a deep degree of
interest the proceedings of Ihe State
Convention, and regret the circum
stances which caused the failure
harmonize the two factions. Both
sides committed blunders, hence both
are censurable. Let ns briefly re
view the matter. The majority were
liberal in adopting the two-thirds
rule; bnt hy the indiscretion of its
leaders failed to rightly manipulate
the lines and draw Hie requisite num
ber of votes from the opposition. The
minority stubbornly sacrificed party-
unity by failing to respond to Hie
popular will as represented by the
majority. Wc attach no blame to Hie
supporters of Gov. Colquitt for hold
ing to his name, hut wc do blame
them for failing lo bring the opposi
tion lo them. The result of all trill
be Hie election of Colquitt, therefore
the will of the people of Georgia
will be carried out. at Hie dangerous
disintregation of the Democratic par
ty.
I note by the papers this morning
that ex-Scnator Norwood is to make
the race against Colquitt. Bad for
the Honorable Toni. He is a clever
-entleman, and we shall regret to
see him butchered, hut his career will
lose with October. True heliasable
campaigners to support him. Dr.
Miller opens for him in the moun
tains to-day. An effort isbeing made
to induce Senator Hill to slump Hu-
State against the present administra
tion. Then, too, the Chalhatu county
campaign club will boom for XVir-
wood. 'J’he-c are all powerful in
their own way, hut, then, the l-Enl-LE
arc tuore so; and Hie people arc for
Colquill: votes will count ill October
heavily. Norwood will carry*this
section of the Slate—Felton's home—
under Felton's management.

.1. O. Forks. Esq.
As was seen hy the eoinmiiniealion
ill our last from Dawson, Terrell
county has presented lo Hie lltli Dis
trict Mr..Tames G. Barks, as the can
didate for Stale Senator.
Mr. l’arks is a young man, anil is
well known throughout this seetion
of the Stale, lie has made a line
reputation at the bar, and established
himself as a conscientious and up
right gentlemen and au aide lawyer.
The writer lias the pleasure of an in
timate personal friendship with Mr.
Barks, and gladly hears li-sliiuoiiy to
Ids many excellent qualities of head
and heart. lie is in every way wor
thy of the honor bestowed upon him
l»y his fellow-citizens, and will make
an excellent member. IVe hope he
will be elected.
their
.. ling throughout, ill unite of the
difference of opinion as to the candidal
•f the majority. The majority and the
minority were llrui and determined, hut
there was iio personal ill-feeling between
the iiiemlH-rs. In this matter all was
linrmotiy and order, in striking contrast
to ninny similar assemblages ill other
Slates. The npjssiitioil to Governor Col"
quttt. wa* very persistent and sometimes
hitter, hut no niiimosily was engendered
Iscwhcre, and no hand oflirothcrs could
have agr.-ed to disagree with inon-gentil-
ty and fraternity.
This speaks well for Georgia and her
representative men. The discussion was
conducted w ith enthusiasm, eloquence,
phasis and |Hiint, lint no insulting |s-i-
sonalllicHcropped out, and iio ineiiilier's
feelings got the better of liis reason, in an
offensive way. It Is with pleasure and
prhlc that wo make record of this. It is
a proof of the lofty character of the (M-o-
plc of our grand old commonwealth, and
demonstrates that, even ill a heated |hc
litieal contest, * they know howto In-
true to themselves and faithful lo the
motto that illustrates Ihe Stale.
Some comment was occasioned hy
Ihe omission, in Saturday's issue of
the News, of Ihe list of names of can
didates from ils usual place at the
head of the editorial column. The
reason for ils omission was Ihe
amount of reading mailer on hand
for which tve larked room. The ma-
iority of those names have lieeu long
enough at our mast-head 'o familiar
ize our readers wuh them, ami our
politieal prefere.i.vs ami record are
so well eslaldi lied, that we Haller
ourselves it i- -I necessary for the
News lo keep a sign out to designate
its whereabouts. The names of our
eamlidalcs go hack again this iiioru-
ing, hut we shall haul them down
again when Hie space they is
needed ler other matter. tVhrn
we change our polities il will be an
nounced in more decided terms Ilian
tlm mere omission of Ihe names of
our preferences.
Il seems as if the “minority” are in
need of-vimlieatioii." Thai dispatch
they sent to Felton asking him lo he
their candidate, has excited a good
deal of comment. Thu Atlanta I’lio-
nograph, whose editor is one of the
minority's executive committee, feels
constrained to make the following
very lucid, and no doubt perfectly
truthful explanation ot Ihe matter :
"The dispatch senl to Dr. Felton on
the llltli instant, asking him to run
for Governor, was a ruse which the
organ gulps down with a good deal
of gusto, it was intended lo scare
the supporters of Governor t'olquilt
into Hu- support of some other can
didate. The committee knew he
would not accept before the dispalch
was sent off."
Il seems lo us that no excuse at all
Would have been better Hum Ibis.
IVe have received from John Neely,
Esq., the superintendent of the pub
lic schools of Amcrictis, his first an
nual report of the progress and work
ings of the schools. The showing
is a most creditable one. Out of a
total school population of D5S there
have been 082 pupils in attendance
at Hie eleven schools under the juris
diction ofllic hoard. Of this number
there was an average daily nt ten-l
ance of .jOO, at a total expense of
$1183.83.
The schools have been giving great
satisfaction to the citizens of Amcri-
cus, and their mclhnds and arrange
ment seem admirably adapted to Hie
accomplishment of the purpose for
which they were established. IVe
congratulate onr sister city on her
school system, and oil its admirable
management, and trust Unit she may
long enjoy its benefits.
Wc will preseut in our Thursday's
paper. Hie letter of Governor Colquitt
and Mr. Norwood, and also the ad
dress of the Committee of the Minori
ty of the people.
We fear the campaign will result
in hilleyness, but there is no reason
why it -lirml,1 he so,- The party is
left free so far as a gubernatorial
candidate is concerned. The public
career of each is open lo criticism.—
Their private lives should be let se
verely alone, for that forms no pari
of tfcc conlcsl.—Coliinlhiis Enquirer.
“I tell you, gentlemen, that if his
life and strength are spared, 1 be
lieve llial General Hancock is destin
ed lobe one of Hie most distinguish
ed men ofllic age. Why, when I go
down in the morning lo open my
mail—and I arise at -I o’clock—I de
clare that I do so in fear and tremb
ling lesl I may hear that Hancock has
been killed or wounded.”—Abraham

Maiiietta, Aug. 12.—Mr. Hugh
Starnes, of Savannah, was married
last night at the Brcshyterinn church,
lo Miss Lucy McIntosh, one of Mari
etta's most beautiful and accomplish
ed daughters. The church was beau
tifully decorated and crowded
overflowing. Mr. Win. Ibittolph and
Mr. G. F. Gober were ushers. No
other attendants. The happy pair
will leave to day for Savannah, their
future home. The bridal presents
were numerous, and most of them
very elegant.
A noble fellow is Hugh, and light,

('■rlenirlllo Vrto I’rew.
The Convention at Atlanta has
been sitting in the apparently fruit
less endeavor to nominate a Gover
nor. The dillieullies that have atlliet
ed the Conventions ol this District
have also appeared in the Stale Con
vention. Two inneli party prejudi
ces, too milch personalism, too lunch
trickery, anil too iiiileh tomfoolery to
make the ronrern a success. We
leave it lo the sober common sense
of our renders if the machine is not a
failure.
Coliuot'iiit Entjiilrer Sun.
The ■ majority refused every effort
at compromise. They adopted the
two-thirds rule and then refused to
abide hy il. They were offered ev
ery concession that was fair and hon
orable. They hail it in their power
to nominate any distinguished Geor
gian, except Colquitt, hut refused.—
They loved personalism heller than
party or Stale. They linve done nil
they can lo disintergratc Ihe organi
zation. They have accomplished
more for liidcpciidculisui than all ils
advocates. They have effected more
lo promote dissensions in the future
than all Democratic opponents com
bined.
It was unquestionably the will of
the Democrats of Georgia Hint tlic
noiniiin tion should lie bestowed on
the Governor—and the entire pur
pose ofllic opposition or anti-Col-
juitt faction was to prevent Hint re
sult. They would have felt il per
fectly triumphant if they could have
Icfcatcd iiiin. so Hint lie could not get
before the people. By Hie resolution
of Hie Convention lie is put licforc
them for what lie is worth, and it re
mains to lie seen whether or not they
will ahnndon him. We predict for
him an overwhelming victory in Oc
tober.
SavAiuiAh Kesri.
Reduced lo its last analysis, tIio re
sult is an undisguised attempt oil Ihe
part of the minority of Hie conven
tion to overrule tlio will! of Hie peo
ple as expressed by Hie majority.
General Colquitt, who, after it bitter
an l relentless canvass, stood in Hie
Convention witli a plurality of near
ly four to one over his highest oppo
nent, and a majority of nearly three
to one over the combined opposition,
is railed upon to retire from Ihe eou-
lesl in humiliation ami disgrace,
while Ids opponents east about over
I lie Slate for some new candidate who
they are willing to support fur Gov
ernor. At tlais late hour we rniinol
discuss such a preposterous demand.
Suffice it at this time to say Hint we
shall have to change our opinion of
the Democracy ofGcorgia very much
before we can believe that they will
rniintciinnce and approve such revo
lutionary unsurpation, outrage and
injustice.
Moderation.
The man who can rise above parti
san bias and sacrifice liis merely per
sonal preferences, is the only sale
counselor and true patriot. In those
crisis periods of party history—those
climatic points, at which the slightest
spark will spring llic mine of explo
sive mid disruptive passions that burst
asunder party lines and political aflil
bilious, ti.e people need llic guidance
of wise and conservative counsellors,
and not of selfish ami passionate pol
iticians.
One tiling history teaches with no
uncertain emphasis: A wise conserv
atism is safer and better than passion
ate immoderation. There are times
when deliberation is a crime amt ex
treme and hasty action a necessity,
hut those periods arc rare and excep
tional. Generally, moderate and con
aervative action 'accomplishes more
speedily the cud sought, tlmn an ex
treme and revolutionary policy. We
might cite numerous examples that
prove this, but wc forbear.
U seems to us Hint litis is one of the
times, when the virtues of forbear
ance and moderation are imperative
ly demanded. The safe anil dispas
sionate leaders, even of the minority
wing of tlie convention, have taken
this view of the situation, mid, in Hie
spirit of self sacrifice, arc counselling
conciliation and moderation. Such
men as Clifford Anderson mid Sam
Hall of Bibb and W.M. Lowery of
Fulton, men whose sympathies were
with Hie minority, have nobly risen
above Hie passions anil predilections
of personal bias and preference, and
are throwing the weight of their in
fluence in favor of harmony, mid
against division.—Macon Herald.

Marietta. (Ja., August Rl. I.sSd.—
I see it staled in the Daily Constitu
tion that I am a graduate of the bo
gus university of Philadelphia. I
am a graduate of the medical depart
ment of the university of Georgia,
and my diploma is as legal as that
institution can make it. See ihe re
cord at Augusta, Gn, 1 also took the
degree of M. 1 >. in the old Eclectic
medical college of Philadelphia, be
fore Buchanan had anything to do
with it. It was iu 1 S,".S, ;il the regu
lar commencement, tin* oil of Febru
ary. The Fclcctir medical institute
of Cincinnati, Ohio, conferred the de
gree of M. D. on me in 1857, at their
regular commencement on the IMUh
of January. The Philadelphia uni
versity (not Buchanan’s school) con
ferred the degree of M. D. at their
regular coiiimciiccuiciil in the year
18U8, after I had attended the course.
These are all legal diplomas. Bu
chanan sent me books, medicines and
pamphlets ns ordered at several dif
ferent times, until I suspected that lie
was acting uuprofcssioiially. 1 then
ceased to hold correspondence with
him. Any man is liable lo be deceiv
ed in men. I am not the only man
who was deceived in Buchanan.—
And though Ihe uuivei’>.iiy to which
he belonged gratuitously conferred
the honorary degree upon me, it was
not bogus, as it was done by the fac
ulty, and at the regular commence
ment, which Is not the ease with the
bogus diplomas. Buchanan's name
is not on the diploma conferred upon
me in the ohl Fclectic medical col
lege, as he then had no connection
with it, nor is Ids name to my diplo
ma obtained at the regular com
mencement of the Philadelphia uni
versity (the ohl Penn school) as he
had no connection with that.
