The banner will now become a supporter of Gov. Colquitt. Mr. M. C. Cabincss, of the Newnan Herald, will be the business manager of the Banner under the new regime. Success to both papers. Mr. Norwood said in his West Point speech, “if the people elect Col quitt Governor age.!::, he would ad vise the establishment of a normal school for the education of Gover nors.’’ Well, one tiling is sure, says the Griffin News, if the school is es tablished after Colquitt is . elected, which he will he on the Gth of Octo ber, Mr. Norwood will never be se lected as a teacher. The people want no educated “salary grabbers" for Governor. Mr. Norwood learned it v’Phsttt-oeing ciu.cated t 0 COLQUITT AND NORWOOD m AT MACON. Mr. II. A. Ledbetter, of Piker, called in to see us yesterday. Mr. Ledbetter had just returned from Macou where lie witnessed the dis- scenc of Monday, occasioned y'the-mceting of Governor Colquitt and Mr. Norwood. Mr. Lcdbattcv says that \ the Norwood rabble made such a disturbance that Hon A. O. Bacon, one of the Norwood committee men, arose and denounced their action telling them that such ac tion in their part, was outrageous and would do the Norwood party harm. Mr. Ledbetter also states that he saw and talked with many men who went there for Norwood and came away for Colquitt, on account of the ill- treatment the Governor received at the hands of the Norwoodites. of the Court. Su- ■M Another Nomination in Baker. Newton, Ga., Sept 4,1SS0. jEditors Albany News : The negroes held a convention here to-day and nominated Col. S. P. Davis for the Senate, and George Bivens, a negro, for the House. Of course Col. Davis will not acceptand enter the race, as he contested for the Dcmodratic nomination with quite a strong following. Col. Davis is a good Democrat, and we cannot be lieve that he will be induced to be come a disorgahizer. We believe the ctcd without his knowledge Democrat. Griffin News: Colonel T. W. Flint, who was a Norwood man says he never heard a man get such a thrashing on the stump in his life as Colquitt gave' Norwood. Hundreds of others agree with Colonel Flint— We heard of several changes to Col quitt but not one to Norwood. The friends of Colquitt are more than sat isfied with the day’s work. ThejUhristian is like a locomotive. A fire'must be kindled in the heart of it before it will go.—M. W- Jaco bus. . appointed Judge f Justice of the Sn- sme Court, vice Judge Warner re signed ; and in Jndge Jackson’s posi tion as Associate Justice he has ap pointed Col. Willis A. Hawkins, of Americus. Speaking of this appoint ment the Atlanta Constitution says: ‘Twenty of the ablest and most dis tinguished lawyers of Georgia have applied, either directly or through their friends to Governor Colquitt for this coveted place on the Supreme Bench, and Colonel Hawkins was the single one who applied to fill the two months’ term only, and that he would not be a candidate before the legisla ture for election.. His letter of ap plication thus reads: Atlanta, August 21.—Dear Sir: There being a vacancy on the Su preme Court Bench on account of the resignation of the Hon. Hiram War ner, if von deem myqualificationssuf- ficicnt,* and the office shall be tender ed ine, I will accept the same tempo rarily. but in no event can become a candidate before the Legislature for permanent incumbency of tiic bench. My professional relationships forbid uie to take permanent office, but at present I am disabled from physical injuries to discharge niv duties as a lawyer. Very respectfully, I W. A. Hawkins. To His Excellency, A. II. Colquitt, Governor. ‘The remaining applicants, nineteen in number, were also friends of Gov ernor Colquitt and backed by large and powerful indorsements. They arc all, like Colonel Hawkins, gentle men of high legal ability, and each one deemed by their friends to he the best qualified for the office, as well as having tiie largest hacking of popu lar support. To have chosen one of these nineteen distinguished lawyers for the short two months term would have been to give such a one a decid ed advantage over the other eighteen in t lie race before the Legislature for Hie term. The Governor, therefore^ gave the short term to Colonel Haw kins, leaving Lite balance of his friends, who desire longer service on the Supreme Bench, a free, fair and open field, without any expression of executive preference between them and all witli equal advantage before the General Assembly, whose duty it is to till tlie office permanently. Colonel Hawkins is one of the ablest lawyers in the State, and i successful practitioner of thirty years’ standing, and is every way qualified for the discharge of tlie duties. Hav ing been hurt by a fall from a buggy —which crippled for tlie while his powers of locomotion—lie has been physically disabled for active prac tice, while in full mental vigor. He will admirably fill the gap on the Su preme Bench, and at the same time happily relieves a very serious cm harrassinciit under which Governor Colquitt labors in choosing between so many strong and intliieutial friends in the cherished object of legal ambi tion. And now quoth the Wesleyan Christian Advocate and Christian In dex. But there arc things we have never felt at liberty to say in the pulpit.— For instance: we have never said, “Vote the Democratic Ticket"— though we have voted that ticket since the war, when we have voted at all. We have never advocated any man or assailed any man. We have never said, “Vote for Jones, vote against Smith.” This is not what the Wesleyan means by’ “mixing politics with religion. The Wesleyan means that wc should mix religion in ail things. What wc can’t do religious ly we can’t do at all. Is this plain ? Yes, plain enough, brother Wesley an. What wc cannot do religiously we ought not to do at ail. The In dex advocates no man and no party but it adopts the motto. “Vote as you pray.” If you pray, “Thy Kingdom come,” it is not consistent to vote for a man who is openly and grossly im mortal.—Christian Index. The late storm seems to have play ed havoc in certain sections of tills State. The Fort Gaines Tribune says many fences in that locality were blown down, and the damage to open cotton in the field was very great.— The Arlington Advance learns that one farmer in its neighborhood esti mates his losses at $2,000, and others have suffered heavily. The Early County News says: “The equinoctial storm has come early’ upon us this season. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday’ wc had much rain, at tended on the first two days by heavy- winds. Much damage has been done to the cottou crop, and, as a conse quence, much ‘storm cotton’ will be on the market in a few weeks,” and the Cuthbert Appeal reports that “the rains and wind the first part of the week did considerable damage to cotton. Much of the staple was open iu the fields, and the fearfully disastrous winds beat it out on the ground, and half of it is complete loss. Wc have heard a great deal of complaint from farmers, and the general opinion seems to be that much has been lost by the raiifand wind.” Augusta Chronicle: When such men as Hon. Henry R. Jackson, Col. Anderson, Captain Robert Satissy, Captain ^Robert Falligant and the Rttssclls declare for Colquitt, Chat ham’s scale begins to turn. A large and influential following has Gov. Colquitt in Savannah. Besides those already- mentioned, Judge Chisholm, Messrs. Blun, Hammond, and dozens of other prominent citizens support Governor Colquitt. Elections will be held during the next two months as follows: Arkan sas, State officials, Monday, Septem ber 6th; Vermont, State* and Con gressional, Tuesday, September 7ih; Maine, State and Congressional, Mon day, September 13th; Colorado, State and Congressional, Tuesday, October 5th.; Georgia, State, Wednesday, Oc tober 8th; Indiana and Ohio, State and Congressional, Tuesday, October 12th; West Virginia, State, Tuesdav, October 12tli.

Another illustration of the propo sition that “close don’t count in bil liards or politics” g will be furnished by the Norwood parly in October.

We are prepared to answer all questions when properly asked, and if necessary will append them, as a supplement, to the convict catechism. Toombs’ accusation of Colquitt that “he has used public office to subserve private ends,” is to be translated into pure English and filed, by permis sion, in the Confederate achieves. Gordon wanted money-—every man does. Brown wanted character— every man should. Colquitt wanted office aud so does Norwood more than the ninety aud nine others who refused sugar in ther’u. The Legislature may not have tri umphantly- vindicated Colquitt be cause he didn’t require any- vindica tion. But a goodly part of the Leg islature sought iu vain to impeach Colquitt aud couldn't find the mate rial. Toombs is freely quoted on Col quitt, and it seems hard to decide what he has said about the Gover nor. But a3 all the General does say- lias to be subsequently corrected, we have thought of waiting for a revised edition of his remarks. We are glad Joe Brown lives, for while we cannot recoguize him as part and parcel of this contest, lie seeins to be an elegant lightning-rod for Norwood electricity. They- say now it wasn’t Gordon but Brown who was hissed the other night and after diligent inquiry we find tiiat Brown wasn’t there either in person or by proxy. It is very easy to find an excuse for what we do. The LaGrange Reporter notices the speecli in that town delivered by Mr. Norwood on Tuesday. The Report er says lie was accompanied by that said cast wind, which never fails to chill everything he says. We have known just sucli people and always felt (hat “open air meetings” were bad places for them. Mr. Norwood is beginning to be tray considerable uneasiness in re gard to the harmony of (ho Dc’ino- cratic party. This uneasiness would have been timelv if it had shown it self when the committee of nine were twining a laurel wreath for his brow, but at present it is perfectly gratui tous. The crisis is past. The party is practically solid for Colquitt and the people.—Constitution. It is uuuotinccd that A company with a capital of $1,000,000 is being organized at Cincinnatti to supply steam for heating purposes to that city at an estimate cost to the con sinners of 20 to 30 per cent, less than they now have to pay for their own fires. The company propose to erect twelve immense steam boilers on the bank of the river, and to run pipes from them under all the principal streets. Each house desiring a sup ply of steam for heating and cooking purposes will secure it by- making connection with the street main ; this will give it connection with the steam reservoirs and supply- it with the heat it requires. George Perkins, Colored. Berrien Count/ Ntn. A “nigger” by the name of George Perkins, who lives in Atlanta, passed through this place to-day on his way to Brunswick, and from there goes to Savannah. Thinking lie was talking to a Nor wood man, he exhibited iiis creden tials, which bore the signature of Howard Williams, secretary- of the Norwood club, and addressed “to all whom it may- concern.” His business mainly is to distribute the Norwood catechism on the convict lease. He tells the negroes at the same time that Colquitt and Brown arc going to re duce the wages of the colored people to 5 cents per day-. Wheu asked what his instructions were, he said that the committee told him to tell anything to whip the fight lie said he told lies to the country “niggers” and used money among those in the towns aud cities. He says he lias brought the “nigger preachers—Haskins, at Griffin, and Howard Bunts, in Dougherty—to time, and was then going to see Jim Blue. From thence he would go to Savannah for a supply- of catechisms and money-, and then go in the di rection of Thoniasville. He has a personal interest in de feating Governor Colquitt, in the fact that he desires to drop Owen Smith—a colored boy- in the govern or's employ-, a button hole.

State News. The Jcsup Sentinel tells now an old colored man in flie employ of Messrs. Clary & Whaley on the Alta- maha river narrowly escaped death a few days ago. Ii seems that he crossed the river in a bateau, for the purpose of gathering moss, on Mon day, the 23d ult., and was not seen, nor heard of, until the following Sat urday, when he was found in an ad jacent swamp, and safely piloted back to the mill. He states that he S ot the moss and undertook to return ut, being old and feeble, aud the current very strong, he missed his bearings, and was carried into the swamp.

[The steamship City- of Vera Cruz was one of tiie ships of the Alexan dre Line, and was commanded by Capt. Van Sicc.

Jacksonville, September 3.—The crew of the wrecked brig Caroline Eddy, ashore at Mantazas inlet, have arrived here. They- report a large steamer having passed them bound south. A sack of mail matter, post marked, “France via New York for Cuba,” was washed ashore at St. Au gustine. It is feared that the steam er of the New York aud Havana line is lost. She is thought perhaps to be the Vera Cruz. The bodies of two women have been washed ashore.— The steamer was wooden, and la boring heavily when seen. Casks of bacon, lard, etc., are drifting in. Great damage was done by the storm up the river. Many buildings are prostrated,. The loss of oranges is estimated from a third to one-half the crop. By the Associated Press.] New York, August 3.—A special from St. Augustine, Florida, gives the following: “There is very little doubt that the steamer City of Vera Crnz, of the Mexican line, which sailed from New York on tiie 25th of Augnst for Ha vana and Vera Cruz, went down in the recent hurricane which has al ready strewn our coast with wrecks. Only- the faintest hopes remain that any- of her passengers have survived. This terrible discovery was made here yesterday, when portions of the mail carried by the ill-fated vessel were washed ashore some miles south of this city.' One mail bag contained the letters for Cuba and Mexico, which had been posted in Paris, France, on August 13, and another lot was found with envelopes bearing the postmark. New York, August 25. This at once indicated that the lost vessel was a mail steamer bound for Southern ports, and the surmise was that it mast have been the City of Vera Cruz, as she left New York on the day last named.” m A special to an evening paper from St. Augustine, Fla., says of the sup posed wreck of the Vera Cruz: “Thus far six bodies have been washed ashore, together with a large amount of miscellaneous merchan dise. One of the bodies was that of a middle aged lady, but there was noth ing about her that would lead to her identification. Another body was that of a child four years old, name not known, but probably that of Mr. and Mrs. Welsh, as they were the only family that had a child with them. The others were sailors, with the exception of one, who was dress ed like a well-to-do business man.— He looks like a Spaniard. “It is feared that the terrific gale that has raged here for the past week made it impossible for any of those on board the ill-fated steamer to savo themselves, even were they able to do so. The shore lor miles is strewn with pieces of timbers, boxes, barrels and other debris. Wrecking parties have been organized, and everything of value is being stored in the store house on Main street.” A telegram received at the post- office to-day say9: “The letters in the mail washed ashore on the Florida coast are postmarked New York, Au gust 25, and Paris, August 16.” This indicates that the mail arrived here by- the Batavia from Liverpool, and was dispatched by the City-of Vera Cruz. At the office of the Alexandre Line, at noon to-day-, no further informa tion as to reported loss ot the City of Vera Cruz has been received, thougli an answer to a dispatch to St. Au gustine, Fla., asking for details, is momentarily expected. Some do not believe the steamer is lost, but think she encountered a hurricane, during which the mail and baggage went overboard. She is pronounced to be one of tiie strongest steamers in the world. She was on the dry dock pre viotis to her last trip. Tiie vessel was worth $200,000, aud was insured in London and America. Many rela tives and friends of the passengers are at the office awaiting inform** lion. Capt. F. Harris, who com nmiided the steamer on her previous voyage, was on board. The Chief Engineer is named Miller and the Purser Burke. I First officer James Hinckley, of the steamer New Orleans, which encoun tered the gale in which the Vera Cruz is supposed to have been lost, said that his vessel ran into a hurri cane on the 28th of August, at 8 p. in., off the coast of Florida, between Capes Jupiter and Caruavernl. The storm was from tiie north and east.— The vessel was struck on the port side and heaved over on her beams end. Four men were at the wheel all tiie time. It was impossible fora man to stand on deck. The vessel for a long time was at the mercy of the wind and sea. The storm abated on the 29th of August. Three boats were stove in and one lost, and the deck rail was carried away-. He knows nothing about the Vera Cruz, though lie thinks she must have en countered the same gale. One per son on board the New Orleans thought he saw the Vera Cruz du ring tiie cyclone, but his statement is not credited. Washington, September 3.—The Post Office Department received tel egraphic advices to-day from Gaines ville, Fla., stating that a severe storm swept over the central portion of that States on the 1st and 2d inst. Post roads were flooded, bridges washed away and mail communication was interrupted between Ocala and Tam pa on the west coast. New York, September 3.—Among the passengers of the Vera Cruz was Major General Alfred T. A. Torbcst, who distinguished himself greatly during the late war as a cavalry com mander. “Am I, a friend of the negro, bound to fight another campaign in bis behalf as a Republican, simply to see him abandoned and myself cheat ed once more ?

He asserts that a British ship owner, having seven millions of dollars invested in a ste&nfship line, and earning eight per cent, interest, would have to pay in taxes $6,000 per annum, while an American with the same amount in vested would have $175,000 in taxes to pay every year, whether his ship earned anything or not.

TITST RECEIVED, A LARGE LOT OF SAM- rJ BEES of the GARFIELD AND IIALE There is no denying the fact—foi he admits it—that Mr. Garfield took a $5,000 fee from De Golyer, for cer tain services rendered in securing a contract for pavement. Nor is there any doubt about the existence of the following section of the Revised Stat utes of the United States: “Sec. 1.782. ‘No senator, representa tive, or delagate, after his election and during his continuance in officer, and no head of a department or other of ficer or clerk in the employ of the government, shall receive, or agree to receive, any compensation whatev er, directly or indirectly, for any ser vice rendered or to be rendered to any person, either by himself or an other in relation to any proceeding, contract, claim, controversy, charge, accusation, arrest, or other matter or thing in which the United States is a party or directly or indirectly inter ested, before any department, court- martial, bureau officer, or any civil, military or naval commission what ever. Every person offending against this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be impris oned or fined not more than $10,000, and shall, moreover by conviction thereof, be rendered forever incapa ble of holding any office of honor, trust or profit, under the government of the United States.’ ” This law—in force when Garfield sold himself—was passed to reach an offence committed by John P. Hale, another prominent Republican, who accepted $5,000 for his influence in procuring the pardon of a convicted Hale lost his seat in the senate by this transaction, and died in an insane asylum a political bankrupt. If he was guilty—and public opinion has so decided—how can Garfield be in nocent ? That is the question which honest people would like to have au- swered. ! FALL AND WINTER SUITS!
