HEBNDON, OF STEW AST COUNTY, DANGEROUSLY SHOT—LINDSAY J. sxxs, xaa committee of the dbkd, ar rested AND XXPBISONXD. Yesterday we learned Lindsay J. Sima, of Lumpkin, Stewart county, ahot ex- Sheriff J. C. Herndon, of that town, through the chest Thursday evening about seven o’clock. He left fur his home immediately after committing the deed, but was pursued by Marshall Yar borough and Bailiff Ryan and arrestsd and put in jail in Lumpkin on that night. He was brought oat for trial at 10 a. x. Friday. He waved it and a $1,500 bond was required of him, which he did not succeed in giving on that day, and we don’t know that he did at ail. The ball which entered his chest was re moved from his back Friday morning be tween two and three o’clock and he was resting very quietly after that, daring Friday. THE CAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY seems to have originated, as we were in formed, from Herndon’s having an execu tion levied which he held against Sims. The latter became enraged and threatened to “cow hide” the former. It waB on Wednesday evening, we understand, that Sima was apparently going to oarry out bis threat, for he assaulted Herndon very violently with words, when he was ar rested and locked up. He was afterwards released, and on the following day (Thursday evening) Herndon met and told him (Sims) that he understood that he was going to cow hide him (Herndon) and that was as good an opportunity as he would have. Sims then assaulted him with a walking cane aud knocked him to the earth by a blow upon the head. Herndon arose immedi ately and started for him without weapons of any kind, bnt was shot down by bis antagonist before he reached him. The above is tbe same as was stated to ns. Further developments may show to the contrary. The unfortunate man may be dead ere this meets the eyes of oar readers. A VOICE FROM THE 0RAVE. TO THE WIDOW BEDOTT, DEAfH OP MR. JAMES DENSON. This highly esteemed gentleman, aged fifty years, died yesterday morning of malarial fever, at the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr. J. B. Slade, of this city. He was born in or near Eatonton, Georgia, and came to this place when a young man. Just previous to the war he was a merchant and partner with Mr. George W. Dillingham in the farnitnro business. At the time of his death he was Secretary and Treasurer of the Co- lombus Iron Works, and was aotive and efficient in this function. He was a man of remarkable practicality. His peculiarity, if we may so term it, waB the wonderful even temper and fortitude with which he met all sets of circumstan ces of troubles—a rare and valuable en dowment. He fought through the late straggle, a short portion of the time be ing connected with the Columbus Guards. He was a bachelor. His funeral will take place this morn ing at 8:30 o’clock, from the residence of Mr. J. B. Slade, with military honors, shown by bis old company, tbe Columbus Guards, of which he was long a member anterior to the late revolution. Notice to Assignees in Bankruptcy. “Assignees in bankruptcy are required to make their report to the Clerk before the first Monday in August of the number of voluntary and compulsory cases io bankruptcy, respectively and separately, in their charge during the past year, the amonnt of assets and liabilities therin separately, total receipts and disburse ments separately, dividends deolared,rate per oent. respectively, total amount of his fees, eharges, etc., amonnt of expenses and oonnsel’s fees, disposition of tbs cases, and a summarized statement of both classes aforesaid. For neglect or refusal to do this, said assignee will be deemed liable to the charge of mis demeanor, and upon conviction will be subject to a fine of not over five hundred dollars or imprisonment not exceeding one year.” As the time is now short assignees will benefit themselves in making theirreports promptly. The Importance of Air Brakes. Yesterday the Sonthwestern train bound for Columbus eame near running into quite a number of mules and oows. and this of course would have resulted in their destruction, and perhaps in the wreck of the engine and cars and the loss of some lives. The engineer having seen the stock jnst before rushing into them— Blew up his air Close to the tendalre, Which made the brutes taire From the destructive faire, All in the presence of the enginaire. Then, blow whistle, blow, Blow up your alre, To save the lives of the passengaire, And to prevent the noble lawyaire Sueing for the “damage” faire.

Bnt while jam ar in Atlanty I can hear fram yon evry day, as our master has speshul facilities atween hue an Atlanty. In fae (atween yon and me—not to go no furder) this piaoe is rite nnder the Opera House, an this is the reel reson that that place is so tarnal hot, an ef you’ll jest taste the well water strate you’ll taste the snlfer. You remember I lef you fur a better place, but I missed connection sum way, got lef by tbe trains or suthin, but enny way I’m here an am a grate fren with the hed uv this boro. We don’t dare too call him sich pet names as I used to yell an snort out on Sundays in tbe pullpifc. He loves us ter call him Belzybub,” an I bein a privi leged karacter like—bein invited as it war to a seat on the floor—calls him Belzy fur short. Noy you knowz I married yon beens I thot yon was rich, an when I fonn yon ont, I was mitey mad with yon, an wished you all kinds uv bad things; but I never sont you to Atlanty—did I ? Now ole gal, I wndent rite ter now, but Belzy came in on yesterday and says he, Hezekiah, I saw the ole Widder ter-day, and I sorter tuk a phaney ter her an I thot I’d keep a eye- on her and bring her down ter keep yon knmpney, you Inks lonesum like, and cos I didn’t Ink plezed an thank him, he chucked me under ther chin an knocked, me onter site. You has tracted Belzy’s attensbun ter you by riten in the papers, an every thing you sez bout the Atlanty Vonstitushun he taka as a parsons! insult ter himself. Ah! sez he ter me wan day, Hezekiah, if we only had them leven abul men down here ter edit the “Daily Torch,” we wad improve the repertashan nv oar etarnal home until everyboddy wad beleeve that we wer makin blocks nv ice ten feet square at w un-quarter uv a cent a pound, an by the way sez he, I lam Senator Jones is got a wety bad colick, an mebbe we'll have ice plenty, snne. I wad hav them leven abul rite up the pedergree uv Moloch an my little he Devils, nntil the last wan ov them wad be mistak for angels an then I wad hav them pat in a bnk for gineral circulashun an by jerdishus skatteration, I wad brake up all the congregaahuns an then nether tbe Unitarys nor tbe Methedis wud dispute my title ter r.

I turned loose the steam valve on em, an wan uv them sed he was frade he’d hav a chill! darn the imperence, you oan’t sprise them with enny thing. Why I got a big fat feller fram thar last spring, and when I herd he war cumin, I fired np evry fur nace I had in workin order, an what da yon think that enss sed? Sez I what? Sez he ef I jest had the Atlanty fire depart ment down here with a full hed uv steam ou at the Atlanty water wurks I’d turn yer darn brash burnin inter a Metbodis camp meetin—I gees that feller will think he’s in an etarnal Rash in bath afore I’m done bilin him.

Do yer think Legisla- terers and Convenshuners will be more pins in Milledgevillt? or do yer think it orter go thar beous yer cud hav ther legislatur more couvenienter, both ter the Asylum an ther Penitententiary ? Don’t you think that when the Hon7 J. U. G.

Your thirsty husban, Hezekiah Bedott. GEORGIA’S CONVENTION WHAT WAS DOW* BY TIBS BODY FRIDAY. Seheock’a Sen Weed Taste. In the atmosphere experienced here daring the summer months, the lethargy produced by the heat takes away the de- ■ sire for wholesome food, and frequently perspirations reduce bodily energy, par ticularly those suffering from the effects of debilitating diseases. In order to keep a natural healthful activity of the system we must resort to artificial means. For this purpose Scbenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is very effectual. A few doses will create an appetite and give fresh vigor to the ener vated body. For dyspepsia it is invalua ble. Many eminent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be perma nently cured by the drags which are gen erally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonio in its nature is totally different from such drags. It contains no corrosive minerals or acids; in fact, it assists the regular operations of nature, and supplies her deficiencies. Tbe tonio in its nature so much resembles tbe gas tric juioe that it Is almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juioe is tbe natu ral solvent which, in a healthy condition of tbe body causes the food to be digest ed; and when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quantities, indigestion, with all its distressing symptoms follow. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the dntv of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient.

Special to the Chronicle sad OonstltatkmaHst.] Atlanta, July 27.—The Convention met this morning at half-past 8 o’clock, tbe President, Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, in the chair. Mr. Casey, of the Twenty-ninth Dis triet, was granted leave of absence. A HEW DEAL FOB GOVERNOR. Mr. Holcombe, of the Thirty-ninth District, moved a reconsideration of the action of the Convention yesterday, fixing tip time of the next Gubernatorial elec tion. He favored in eleotion in 1878. If we set a precedent here to let the Govern or’sfnll term expire before an eleotion, we will have to wait till all the State and judicial officers’ terms expire before the new Constitution can go into effect. Gov. Colquitt has no warmer friend in the State than I, and I shall vote for him again, unless he does something which he is not yet guilty of. It is tbe principle, and not the administration, I attack. Will not men appointed by the Governor want to serve ont their time, too ? Let us inangu rate the whole thing now. Let the Gov ernor be elected when the question of rat ification is submitted, so as to bring ont a fall vote of the people. Give the peo ple reform, and no power whioh can be brought to bear can defeat the Constitu tion. Reconsideration was carried by a vote of "95 to 90. the state’s roads. The .Committee on the sale of the State’s Roads recommended in their re port submitted to the Convention this morning that the Legislature create a Commission of three members, serving two, four and six years, and styled The Commission of Pablic Property and Debt, and that said Commission, with the Gov ernor, try to sell the State railroads as follows: Tbe Macon and Brunswick for one million two hundred thousand dollars; the Memphis Branch and the North and South Railroads for what they will bring, and the Western and Atlantio for eight millions, all the proceeds to be nsed to redeem State bonds. Tbe report was printed and made the special order for Wednesday. MORE OF THE GOVERNOR’S TERM. Mr. Harrell, of tbe Twelfth District, said it is urged that as the present admin istration was elected by an immense ma jority of the people, the Convention should not reduce its salary or its term of office, but since that time the people have also oalled a Convention to regulate these very matters. We must forthwith reduce, or else the Convention will pre sent a strange anomaly, and half tbe State officers will be nuder one Constitu tion and half under another. The Gov ernor was sworn to support the Constitu tion of 1868, henoe he can’t support this one. What is the use of building a new house if we leave half the family in the old one ? Mr. Barrow, of the Twenty-seventh District, said he thought tbe oase was different with the Governor than with other officers. Under the new Constitu tion, as under the old, a large portion of tbe State officers wonld probably be ap* pointed by the Governor. Every office now being declared vacant tbe Guberna torial candidate wonld be confronted in the canvass on all sides by candidates, and exposed to barrassments, seductions and temptations. Suppose, then, we maintain the present Governor jn office, serene and undisturbed, and his appoint ments to all other offices which should be declared vacant in 1878 being untrpmeled, be will have no debts to pay, no enemies to puuiBh, no friends to reward. He did not want to subject the Governor to tests, trials and temptations, and did not be-, lieve the people wanted it so. He tbonght all other offices should be vacated, bnt not the Governor’s. There were some dele gates to whom threats that their constit uents would repudiate their work had no terror. Let the Convention do what was right and the people would sustain them. ELECTIONS BY THE PEOPLE. Mr. Collier, of tbe Thirty-fifth Distriot, said if the Constitution did not go into effect now it wonld not do so till 1880. To the preceding gentleman he wonld say- that the appointing power was not yet given back to the Governor. That was one question with which the Convention proposed to deal. The people should elect all their officers anew next year. In Texas when the Convention decided to postpone action on the Constitution till the Governor’s term should expire the Governor said “No; when you make the sweep put all out If I can’t make this sacrifice I ought not to be Governor.” Have no fear for ratification, for the peo ple appreciated efforts saving them thou sands of dollars. I have no feeling against any State officers, bnt think the govern ment should be inaugurated as soon as soon as possible. THE INS AND THE OUTS. Mr. Toggle, of the Thirty-seventh Dis trict, said the Convention had been in session seventeen days and its motto seemtf still to befestina lente. The propo sition for the first time had to-day been made for anew deal. Politics in its last anal ysis was simply a contest between the ins and the oats. He was not sure bnt that these retrenchment speeches were made by those who, unfortunately, were oats. Only last October had the people spoken, and that by a majority of 80,000 votes placing the administration in power, and now this Convention olothed in the sov ereignity of nine thousand majority stand np and declaring we are the people want to pnt out the present Executive. Who are the people? Now, instead of making an organic law, as it was sent to do, the Convention is fritting away its time in stuffing the Constitution ad nauseam with the details of legislation. The Con vention truly is omnipotent, but he hoped not omnipotent to do wrong. The econ omists in the body who have been thus gallantly ranting are only former pap- suckers. We have been here seventeen days, spent seventeen thousand dollars and determined but three departments, leaving ten more undone. All reduotion was the cause of agitation, then why not content ourselves with making an organic law. Yon confront a factions opposition no matter what yon do. Personal issues in fixing technicalties are bound to arise, and even now we find ourselves fighting the Governor. If we want a redaction in sa!aries*and offices, and we certainly do, let the Final Committee pass a sweeping, bnt uniform, reduction. If we continue as we have done there will be no use in having any Legislature. Let u >, then, confine ourselves to the organio law. THE CONVENTION SHOULD STICK TO ITS BUSINESS. Mr. Pierce, of the Twentieth District, said t here was a great deal of wisdom in wha' had been so well said by the last gentleman. It is hoped of all that the Convention will oonfine itself exclusively to the purposes for which it has been called, and, instead of going into infinite And endless details, settle the fundamen-. tal principles of government. It. was neither well nor wise to say no apprehen sion is felt over the ratification of the Constitution. Delegates say they are sent to do certain work, and nuless it be done their sections will not be friendly to tbe Constitution. Henoe tbe importance of confining ourselves to our legitimate sphere—to the smallest circumference— so that it may go before the people with the fewest possible assailable points. It is impossible to make a homestead to suit every one. All redactions will cause strife and dissen sions and form half-way enemies in the camps of its friends. If we disturb tbe present Executive, who himself is as pure as snow, we everywhere arouse his friends. This Constitution, forced upon us by aliens and bayonets, should be wiped out, but in the hands of Demoeratie administrations, snob aa tbe present, it powerless to do muoh harm. Then why not trust the new one to him? If we eame here to apply the knife to the root of the tree and establish revolutions in every department, then I analogue the Constitution not to a new boose, but to a new vesse'; and I ask, gentlemen of tbe Convention, when a new vessel is about to be latuehed on a stormy sea, if it is better to appoint a new or an old and ex perieneed pilot? And now, when we wish to preserve our party from dissensions upon ratification, yon wish to add another spark to the magazine. Tbe Governor is sleeted for a four years’ term, and it is a contract we are bound to keep; end the Governor should remain as a pure nucleus, around which, in the pending revolution and dissolution, atoms can eling. QBE. TOOMBS ON THE SITUATION. Mr. Toombs, of tbe Twenty-ninth Dis triet, said the people certainly have a right to change these things. The ques tion was purely one of expediency. It was true all of the present State officers have sworn to support the present Con stitution, but they can easily be re-sworn if necessary. This change, if made im mediately, will be a disturbing element in tbe people’s minds. They would be diverted from the great principles of the fundamental law, and the ratification eleotion would degenerate into a scramble for office—nothing else on God’s green earth—and he advised the friends of real reform to make no such issue. Who wants a new deal ? We must simply here oarry out our honest convictions for the publio security, and not disturb the publio mind with minor matters. THE DEBATE A PERSONAL ISSUE. Mr. Hammond, of the Thirty-fifth Dis trict, said tbe debate had assumed a per sonal issue and he did not agree with some friends as to what we are here for. He thougjht our objeot is to make a Cons stitntion which the people will ratify and not to effect a new deal in offices. We had taken the Legislature to task about lobbying and bribery, and yet we oannot carry out our Constitution without a piti ful bribe of a few thousand dollars out from officers salaries and must offer to the people offioes vacated by the present officials. You talk about aristocracy among offioe-holders; will not small sala ries keep out men from office who make more elsewhere ? Good officers must be secured by liberal pay, and I would rather risk my purse and honor with a satisfied than a dissatisfied official. I do not know whether in thin I represent the voice of the people, and what is more I do not eare. When the people speak through organized channels I venerate and respeot their voice, but when you speak of opin ions here and there I have no proof of its import. There may be just ss many on the other side. I must satisfy my oon- soience before God when I am filling sacred duties. What is the use of having ff*new election, costing to the State one hundred thousand dollars? I am not among the ins and wonld not like to be, bnt this principle of turning ont all the present offioiala is wrong. THE NEW DEAL UNSUCCESSFUL. Mr.Gartrell, of the Thirty-fifth District, moved to table Mr. Holcomb’s amend ment, fixing the election for Governor next year. The amendment was carried by a vote of yeas 100, nays 85. FURTHER PROGRESS All the paragraphs in the Exeontive Section down to the 13th were agreed to unamended. Mr. Hill, of the Twenty-eighth Dis triet, endeavored to transfer the commu tation of tbe death sentences, to the Leg islature as in the ease of treason or im peachment, but tbe motion was lost. In paragraph thirteen, Mr. Matthews, of tbe Thirtieth Distriot, moved to change the word “Legislature” to “General Assembly” and thus amended tbe section was adopted. Tbe 13th and 14th sections were agreed to. The 15th was tabled for the present. The 16th was agreed to. The last line in section seventeen was stricken ont on motion of Mr. W. M. ese, of the Twenty-ninth District, commencing at the word “honse.” Tbe 18th was amended so as to make tbe Governor examine of the Treasurer’s and Oomptroller’8 offices quarterly, in stead of semi-annually. In line 84 the- Uon vention struck ont the words “if ex isting provisions are not sufficient.” An effort was made by Mr. Hudson, of the Twenty-gth District to make the Legislature eleot the Comptroller, Trea surer and Secretary of State instead of the people, as the committee recommend ed, bnt it was lost.

London Stock Market, Special to Enquirer-Sun.] London, July 28.—The Economist says the prices of stocks still keep up. There was an alarm on Monday which severely shook mar kets all around, whether speculative or inflated, or essentially of a solid investment class, but the weakness was momentary, prices having since recovered. The movements of the week in balance have been small. The cause of the fall was the dispatoh of troops, for Gallapoli, as was feared, for Malta, as is explained. Tbe recovery was dne to explanation, but approach of settlement, no doubt, had an Influence in re purchases on the part of speculate. Cheap ness of money also fovors the malntenace of prices, bat the tremor of Monday penetrated everything and touched the stock markets at all points. Foreign buying, apparently on the reported approach of the Russians to Adriano- ple, suoported prices on Friday, but here there has been of late a disposition to sell foreign s,ock. An independent feature of the week has been a slight fall In United States securi ties, consequent on the serious riots. Indian railways have been depressed on political ap- prehen ions, caused by the movement of troops to the Mediterranean. The Great Western of Canada has been flat, apparently on the an nouncement of a proposed issue of farther cap. ital. Most of the decline In American securi ties, which at no time has been great,resulting from the riots, has been recovered. COTTON.
