In < .cry ono of the 137 counties In Georgia the democrats voted Monday in primary for governor and state offl- ®ialn, for senators and monibera of the leginlature, and many of the ooun- tles for mjjwi of congress. In a number of soiJaties the nominees for cofluty offlomSM)Se also selected. In a very fjwthiei'Wns balloting for *u- - prenie court justices. t^The candidates . for stato ofllcers were: For Governor—Allon D. Candler, Robert 1,'. Berner and Spencer R. At kinson. For Secretary of State—Philip Cook and Mark A. Hardin. For Comptroller General- -William A. Wright. For Commissioner of Agriculture— R. T. Nesbitt and O. B. Stevens. For State School Commissioner—G. R. Glenn. . For Attorney General—*J.M.Terrell. For Prison ('ommii^ioner—J. S. Turner and J. W. Renfroe. For Treasurer—W. J. Speer. Allen D. Candler for governor will have 2fit out of the 360 votes in the convention. The race for secretary of state was expuctod to be close, but Mr. Cook surprised even bis most enthusiastio friends. That for commissioner of agricul ture was one hard fought on both sides, and Senator Steven's nomination was well won. The raoo for prison commissioner resulted in a victory for Judge Turner, the present inonmI>eut. There were three contests for scats in congress. Of tho eleven in miters of tho house of representatives, eig t bad no opposition for ronominntion. , These wore Messrs. Lester, of tho 'first district; Griggs, of the second; Lewis, of the third; Adamson, of the fourth; Bartlett, of the sixth; Howard, of tho eighth; Fleming, of tho tenth, and Brantley, of the eleventh. There was talk of opposition to Jndgu Griggs and Congressman Lewis —indeed, candidates announced them selves against each of the e, but they soon withdrew. The three contests were in the liftli, seventh and ninth districts. In the liftli district Congressman Livingston wnsopposed by Mr.Charles I. Brauan. There was a vote for con gress in each of the counties in the district except Fulton, wliioh acted in April, giving its six votes to Congress man Livingston. The result of Mon day's contests insures tho prosent congressman unanimous ronomina- tion, he carrying nil the counties. In the seventh Congressman Mad dox had as his opponent Judge ,T. Watt Harris, of Bartow county. The race was a spirited one. The result is the reuomiuntion of Judge Maddox, who 1ms secured a good majority of tho votes in the congressional conven tion. The rnre in the ninth was in many respects the most hotly contested of tho three. Both Congressman Tate and his opponent, Solicitor General Howard Thompson, made an active canvass of the district, ami while but little news from the eampnigu hns found its way into the newspapers, it bas been a hot one. The reports show that Congressman Tate carried the day. The Totals.

It is the .opinion of naval officers that now that-the entrance to the harbor is thns effectively blocked, a couple of monitors with a swift cruiser and two or tbrea small torpedo or gunboats ill be sufficient to guard the en trance, while Schley and Sampson can go along to oonvoy the troop* to Porto Rico and elsewhere. In the engineer ing department it is said that it would be impossible for the Spanish fleet to attempt to olear the channel of the wreok of the Merrimac, as a few of our vessels stationed outside the har bor could shell (he Spanish float and compel them to retire. It is said it would take several woeks to raise an obstruction such as that-caused by the hull af the Merrimac, THEY DIKES!BAKE UNDER COVER OF SAMPSON’S BIG GUNS.-' KRE PUT ASHORE NEAR SANTIAGO.

It developed at Washington for the first time Saturday that an important oable cutting expedition, projected liy General Greely, chief of the sigual ser vice, and in charge of the strategic su pervision of cable and telegraph lines, had met with success, and that Gen eral Blanco was probably isolated from tho outside world, particularly from tho Spanish authorities at Madrid. The advirios received were inde pendent of those by the Associated Press dispatoh boat via Kingston, hut they bore out the dispatches and gave additional details. They show that the French cable, from Sautigo to Hayti, was interrupted at 6:110 Friday night, and no messages have passed over that lino sines then. Word lias not yet come as to the in terruption of tho two British cables, leaving Cuba by way of .Tumaica, but General Greely is satisfied that these have also been cut. He conferred with Secretary Allen nt noon Satur day, and tho two exchanged congratu lations on the indications tliut this ninoh desired, purpose of isolating Blanco'had been accomplished at last.

A Washington special says; The war department has supplied to the navy department the list of names procured from the commandant at Fort McPher son, Ga., of the Spanish prisoners of war thero. Tho department Monday morning sent this list to Admiral Sampson nail tho admirnl himself will enter into communication with Admiral Ceivora respecting an exchange of prisoners. C'ervera will he allowed to selcot from the list of persons whom ho will Inke in exchange for Naval Constructor Hobson and the gallant crew that manned thu Merrimac on her last run. Hobson’s rank, relatively, is that of lieuteuant, junior grade, and he Btands nt the licnd of that grade in his corps. By tho ordinary rules of exchange he would be about equivalent to a captain in the army. The highest grade officer i mon: the Spanish enptives at Fort, McPherson is a lieutenant, so that in order to equalize tho exchange it may he necessary for Admiral Sampson to throw in with the first lieutenant one of the flozen second lieutenants among tho prisoners. Hobson's crew, none being of the commissioned grade,can he exchanged mau for man for six Spanish private soldiers, among the prisoners of war. When Snmpson aud Cervera have arranged tho details, the list of pris oners to he exchanged will be submit ted to the war department, whioh would direct the commandant at Fort McPherson to send them to Key West to he placed aboard a nnval vessel and sent to Santiago for transfer.

He wore a long, heavy black beard, which it was his fancy to separate into tails, each one tied with a col ored ribbon, and often tucked behind his ears. Some of the writers of that day declared that the sight of his beard would oreate more terror iu any port of the 'American seaboard than would the sudden appearance of a fiery comet. Aoross his brawny breast he carried a sort of Bling, in which hung not less than three pairs of pis tols in leathern holsters, and these, in addition to his cutlass aud knife or two in his belt, made him a most formidable looking fellow. In the early part of the eighteenth century Blackbeard made his headquarters in one of the inlets on the North Caro lina coast, and there ite rule ! as abso lute king, for the settlers iu the vicin ity seemed to be us anxious to oblige him as the captains of the merchant men were anxious to keep out of liis way.
