Aa we have before mated, the Demoeralie
State Convention was aa fine and n-presrnta

waa a splendid collection of brains, pluck nnd
patriotism. It has more leaders in it tlian

in one assembly.

planted tho party on principle right aqnare-

gation to Ralllnmre untrammelled to do the
beat for the party and the country.
A resolution waa introduced to abide Hai

Coorrotion bad acted and it waa unnecessary
to resolve to do what was implied in the reso

and withdrawn lest the action of llie Con

the object of tlioso who Total to lay it on tlic
table to doddeagainst abiding Raltimnre.lmt
simply that snch a reeolntlon waa needless.
Tho Democracy of Georgia has spoken,
and with ila usual devotion to principle and

Let the party s'and hi its colors, keep

by silence.
It is a matter of congratulation that in this,
tlic must momentous political crisis which
has come upon us since the revolution which
lest to ns every lliing save honor, Georgia baa
•ent to her capital the exemplar of her wis
dom, integrity and courage to lake counsel
together.
For myself, let me invoke your kindest in-
dnlgenec and consideration while I say Hint
tbo duties devolved upon mu shall he dis
charged faithfully.
For you, gentlemen, permit me to invoke
that harmony, Unit g ml feeling and self-
abnegation, that should always control men
hound together Iry ties that link brother to
brother. As representatives of a great party
which has borne emblazoned upon its crest
for more Ilian half a century the fundamen
tal principles of personal liberty, let ns see
that when we send our voice to greet that
of our brethren elsewhere,! wc abate not one
tut or tittle of that sMbboeuth that -has often
Vd us to victory and alinM consoled US in
defeat.
Let os march op to tbis issue as men pre
pared to buiy in a common grave persona!
pride, passion, prejudice and ambition, anil
while we sec crumbling around its in a storm
which we could not avert all the monuments
of civil liberty, let ns, with s devotion like
Eneas of old, when he Imre Anchiscs from
Hie burning mins of Troy, take upon our
brawny arm onr old Mother Georgia, and
with stout hearts march through all dangers
to place her upon a pinocle of safety and
honor.

dcnccthat the delegates elected on the 15th
were the proper delegates, for the sake of
harmony be acquiesced in the report
3Ii. McKibbin, of Butts, sympathized
with the last delegates, yet lie aid not wish
to establish a precedent by admitting bo:h
delegates. The laU delegates were anti-
Greeley, and so was he; yet lie could not je
opardize Democratic harmony and unity by
I admitting them.
Major Simmons said in support of his reso
lutions that he sympathised with the last
I elected delegates, but the Convention must
repudiate thb spirit of disorganization. The
first delegates were elected by a convention
called by the only authority authorized to
speak for the Democracy of Fulton county.
Garnett Hc3Ifllan supported the report of
the committee, and proposed to amend byi
pinking out the clause “that the united dele
gation should cast the vote of the county,”
and inserting “that on all questions where
the Fulton couuty delegation had a controll-f
Ing vote that the convention should then
decide which delegation should c*st the vote.”
{This was subsequently withdrawn.
, Hon. Robert Toombs called the previous
question, The call was sustained by yeas

Prior to the war the prosperity of the
South was proverbial. The earth bountiful'
.y yielded her increase, the win do world stood
ready to bid for it, aud the gains of the South
ern country were proportionately large.
These gains were invested in negroes, and by
this accession of labor the productive capaci
ty of the country was year by year increased.
Labor produced capital, and capital increased
labor, each augmenting in turn the other, and
both combined heaping up an enormous ag
gregation of wealth Since the war this has
been changed. Labor still prodaces capital,
but capital can no longer find an investment
in labor. A new outlet for Southern surplus
is necessary, and as each recurring season
demonstrates more and more cleirly that the
ancient prosperity of the South is re viving,
the need of some such outlet becomes more
apimrcnb Wlmt shall that outlet be? We
answer that Southern capital must hcuce-
fortli seek investment in Southern securities.
Railroads arc needed, and the bonds of those
ruad9 must be at once profitable and safe.
Cotton manufacturing is extended itself, and
factoiy shares must present desirable open
ings. Municipalities., are growing, and on
the credit of thriving towns and cities a well
founded reliance may be placed. State after
Slate is revertingTroin alien hand"' to the con
trol of Us own people, and in such a change
a guarantee of future honesty aud caution
u|i|H.‘ars. Take the South over, and the op
portunities of investment arc commensurate
with the general demand.
To be safe and to be profitable arc the prime
requisites of an investment, aud Southern
capital can find these reqnisitcs better at
home than abroad. Take for instance the
case of Some Northern railroad. What can
any Southern stockholder know of the real
condition of that road ? Its distance forbids
any personal observation. lie knows nei
ther the value of the property nor the relia*
bility of its umuugers, save from hearsay,
and is thus conqiellcd to rely exclusively
upon others for the safety ana increase of
Ins capital. From tlie necessity of the cose,
the Southern holder of Northern securities
is where tlie English owners of Erie were
lately disclosed to be. His money is locked
up by strangers who manage it at their own
sweet will, aud resent us an impudent intru
sion any effort oil his pari to know the con
dition and prospects of his owu property.
How different where the Southerner has his
capital in Southern securities. The property
is, ns it were, in the hollow of his owu hand.
It lies at his very doors, and the slightest cir
cumstance affecting its value is apparent to
him at once, lie sees for himself, and is not
obliged to rely implicitly on the observation
of others. On the score of safety there is
everything to recommend a Southern over a
Northern security, and just in proportion ius
an investment is sate just iu that proportion
is it really profitable.
But to facilitate the investment of South
ern capital in Southern securities a market is
necessary, and Augusta is beyond question
the University.

The upper court of Georgetown society
was violently agitated yesterday by the at
tempt of a father to shoot tlic alleged seducer
of hia daughter. Thai the young lady was
seduced by some one is pretty evident, for
five months after her marriage she brought
into existence a fully developed child. The
husband thereupon returned her to her
parents, and instituted a suit for divorce.
The discarded wife finally gave hei
die seducer’s name, and tlic result '
attempt to murder, yesterday. The alleged
seducer is said to have been very officious in
bringing about the marriage, which, after
five mouths of happiness, terminated so ab
ruptly, and as all the parties move in high

without a slain. In the days of the old Slate
bunks Aug us: a money had the public confi
dence from Virginia to Texas, and in (lie
sale of the ante-bellum railroad bonds 31 i^sis-
sippi, Tennessee and Alabama possessed a
virtual monopoly. Siucc the war this dis
tinguished financial character has not been
lost. As shown by the tax returns there arc
more than double the amount of securities
held in Augusta than in any other
city, in Georgia, and unless New
Oilcans he au exception, aud this is
doubtful, Augusta is the largest market for
Southern securities in tlic Southern States.
It is moreover the largest cotton manufac
turing centre in the South, and possesses a
railroad interest of the soundest and most
promising impor'ancc. Further still, it is
otic of the largest interior cotton markets iu
the South, and since the establishment of tlie
Exchange its facilities for the management
of cotton, both for immediate and fu
ture delivery, have greatly increased.
With these attributes it is marked out
as beyond all question the great financial
market of the South, and in the Au
gusta exchange appears the instrumentality
for the accomplishment of its unnifest des
tiny. Already, though tlie institution is but
in its infancy, its operations have that solidi
ty which peculiarly distinguishes Augusta,
autl already an influx of cupilul seeking in

how great is the need of such a market, aud
how fully the Exchange is recognized as

FAihr* Constitution : The many readers of
your valuable paper will no doubt take aii
interest in an account of the proceedings of a
Commeucenu nt which ri fleets fo much credit
on our couuty and town. The ^ mi them Fe
male College is located in LaGrange, on a
commanding eminence, entered by a beauti
ful smooth yard shaded bv a luxuriant
growth of trees. Professor J. F. Cox, the
President, is a genial, affable gentleman, fills
the position with much credit and dignity,
and gives general satisfaction both to pupil
and parent
Under the supervision of such a President,
and assisted by an able corps of professors,
no institutitution is better adapted for the
thorough education and culture of young
ladies. Besides, the society of LnGrange is
unsurpassed, which aids very materially the
education nnd accomplishment of a young
lady. Sunday, the 23d instant, the exercises
of the college opened. Dr. Montgomery, of
Tennessee, delivered tho commencement ser
nion. He preached an able and in
structive sermon, the beauty of which
will not mar by attempting to
give a synopsis. On ^Monday the exami
nation of the Junior and Senior classes was
tlio order of tho day, and I never witnessed
greater proficiency in studies or greater
achievements in learning. The first class
was composed of some eight or ten beautiful
and intelligent young ladies, who were ex
amined in tho evidence of Christianity by
Rev. H. L. Calaway, their able and efficient
teacher, in that branch. The class evinced a
thorough kn)wlcdge of the subject and a
perfect readiness to answer any question pro
pounded, cither by tho teacher or the
audience. During the examination of
this class an interesting discussion arose
between tlie class and James Skin
ner and 3Iontgomery, on the question
as to what was the best evidence of
Christianity, propounded by Dr. Skinner.
The young ladies, I believe, won the victory,
by giving it as their opinion that the miracles
and the fulfillment of prophecies furnished
the most conclusive and satisfacloiy evi
dence.
The next class introdaccd was in astrono
my, taught by CoL Toole. The class soon
showed to the audience their perfect acquain
tance with that difficult but beautiful science.
Professor Cox next examined his class in
Virgil, who exhibited a wonderful familiarity
with the aucient bard of Mantua.
The examination was admirably conduct
ed, and you could mark in every class and
eveiy student that thorough and systematic
training so characteristic of the able profes
sors of this splendid institution.
At night came off the Concert under the
supervision of 3Iiss Sallie Cox, the accom
plished daughter of tlie President Without
attempting to personate any, I will say that
all the young ladies sustained the reputation
LaGrangc has so long enjoyed for its musical
talent. The singing was sweet, the playing
splendid, and it would have required only tlie
nestling of wings to have made real our
dream of fairy land I cannot re
frain from mentioning one piece
which was admirably rendered, and
created considerable merriment The piece,
entitled “Sm-an, Susan, pity my confusion,
in which a splendid hit was given to those,
timid young men, who would “die” if she
would not marry “me.” ThC operetta of
Genevieve, in which all the young ladies took
part, was splendidly executed. None speak
of the performances lu3t night but in the
Ex-Governor Jcnkius.
There are some writers urging the claims
of cx-Govcmor Jenkins for Governor. That
gentleman has written letters In which he
disclaims any desire for the office, nnd thinks
we cannot do better than retain Governor

Since the above was written we find the
following confirming our statement.
Augusta, 17th June, 1872.
Jas. P. nAimusoN, Esq., Editor Monroe Ad
vertiser:
Deaii Sin—During my recent abrence from
the State, two very kind and flattering notices
of me have appeared in your paper, which I
have just seen. In the fiist yon propose me
as the Democratic nominee for the office
of Governor. In the second you notice a
rumor that I do not desire that position, but
am an aspirant to a seat on the Bench of the
Supreme Court Believing that in party evo
lutions the general opinion should be as much
concentrated as possible in advance of nomi
nations, so as to uvoid distracted counsels,
1 beg you will.ollow me, through the medium
of your valuable paper, to withdraw my
name, alssolutdy and unconditionally, from
consideration, regarding both of those posi
tions. Sincerely grateful to my fellow-citi
zens for the bestowal of each in the past, I
neither aspire to, nor can consent to accept
either, in the future. From my experience
in them I do n» t believe I have remaining
sufficient strength to endure the menUil strain
and the physical unrest incident to each.
Allow me to add tlmt in my opinion the
vacancies soon to occur—one in the Execu
tive and the oilier iu the Supreme Judicial
Department—would be well filled by the
re-appointment of the present incumbents
severally. Such, as a citizen of Georgia, is
my earnest desire.
I conclude by requesting that you will at
once remove my name, from the head of your
editorial column, aud oblige your friend,
C. J. Jenkins.

GUANT’S DOG CAUT.
The President’s dog-cart is considered the
most stylish thing of the kind ever seen here.
It is his favorite vehicle. I saw it puss up
Ocean avenue. Let me describe it:
Here is a sensation. The children on the
porch drop their playthings, tlic croquctting
maiden lams on her mallet, and the Jersey
pirduer, lost in admiration for the approach-
ng show, stands holding a bunch of weeds
he has just pulled.
Do you see that pair of large, well-match
ed bay horses ?
Indeed, they arc eo much alike in color,
shape, and action, you conclude at once some
horse party lias h:ul a hand *in the buying of
three for llieir fortunate owner.
And the harnesses, too—bright; massively
golden, and gorgeous—are.strirtly in keeping
with ihc'mnguiUccncc of the horses; so that
so far as both of these arc concerned you are
also reminded ot the equipages of the wealthy
and aristocratic if your thoughts have
ever turned in that direction.
But still more conspicuous as they approach
you are the driver and his companion.
Jet isn’t a circumstance to the blackness of
their faces; while their costumes are white
corduroy and while fiauncl, trimmed with
silver, wilh white top boots, as ncarlv as you
can make out; and the contrast between
their costumes and glossy hats and faces is
as marked and disliuct us that of daylight
and darkness.
The taller holds the reins, but he is equal
to the emergency, and, so far as the unprac
ticed white eye can determine, there is not
a ripple of any kind on his Nubian face.
The shorter seems entirely for ornament,
and sits wilh bis arms folded across his chest
black and white monument to wealth
and social greatness.
The carriage is such as the fox-hunting peo
ple of another country go to the “meet” with.
•The part whereon sit the driver and his
ally is considerably elevated above the rest,
while tlie rear, which by the bold Briton is
us d for the transportation of his bird .dogs,
is here converted iuto a seat for the proprie
tor of all this FLky splendor.
Perhaps you like carriages painted yellow
•*tis altogether a matter of taste—and if so,
you wouiu like this one, for the sides and the
under parts arc pale yellow, not a sickly, but
a sort of an aristocratic poetical pale, while
the rest of the vehicle is black.
And that man there, wilh a round head
surmounted by a white stove-pipe hat, with
a face that don’t indicate anything in partic
ular, and particularly don't indicate anything,
you would lie likely to mistake for greatness,
but seems to give show both of the larder
and the cellar. “Why dial’s the President,”
says the houret Jersey gardener.
“No.”
“Oh, yes; I know that team. ’Tis just the
biggest fetch on tills shore, stranger.”
“You don’t mean to tell inetimt this is the
man 1 saw on a bay horse near the apple-tree
in Virginia ?”
“I don’t know nothing about no Virginia
apple tree, but that’s Grant, the President of
the United States, mid them bays and them
niggers just lay over anything I ever sec.”
Of course, the President may drive in just
such vehicles as he admires.
But there were tax-payers within hearing
who whistled and said something about

with an ambulance I had seen that afternoon
sluuding In front of the Presidential stables
—now uigloriously converted into a market

man riding in over the bloody soil of Virginia.
But the times have changed, and the man.
