The unfair proceedings of Saturday- last cannot stand as the action of the Democratic Party of Fulton county— simply for the reason that they were un fair. The points of unfairness have already been stated, and need not now |be repeated. Suffice it that large num bers of good men aro dissatisfied because of this thiDg, and this alone. There were plenty’of true Democrats that meeting to control it and |clect a sound Democratic delegation to the State Convention, and such would have been tbe case, if some thieving ireeleyito had not stolen the tickets vhich were prepared with which to vote for true Democrats. This left the true Democracy unprepared at the loment; hence they made motions to make nominations for delegates, and |asked for time to prepare tickets, bu these motions were not put to the meet- ling, and the mob rushed the matter ■through very unfairly and closed the [polls in hot haste—thus taking a very ■unfair advantage, with which the Demo- lerats of this country are not going to |rest contented. And those who did this unfair thing |were so unreasonable—so undemocratic— i to place at the head of their ticket a Iman who is not a Democrat, and who [bos openly proclaimed himself to be no [Democrat. He is a man in whose politi leal principles the honest Democracy cf [Georgia have no confidence. The True Democracy in the meeting Icf Saturday, manifested a forbearance lander their ill-treatment which is highly Icommspdable, and which \ye hope will [he hereafter imitated by all shades of [opinion. We most have another deal— [another meeting, at which there will be |no tricks—no intolerance—no intimida- Itiou—no disorder—nothing wrong or [improper whatever. When such a meet ing is held, nobody will try to disturb Khe result. THE II. O. HOYT CASE. The defense resumed their examination by intro- IdncinR Mr. W. L. Hubbard, who testified that Hoyt [owned a lumber yard and a handsome dwelling pre- 1 Tious to hie connection with the State Road; and ■admitted that reports of his dishonesty had been [freely circulated in the community. Mr. E. R. Sas- I seen testified to his honesty and fair dealing prior 1 to his connection with the State Road; that he ac- nnuulated money during that time, and that his I Wacter for honesty now was very low. Ir. I. Robinson ; of firm of Longley & Robinson), o testified to the immortal lumber business; that ) defeudaut was considered honest before these msatioua were preferred. He coulna't say wheth- he was considered honest now or not; a few say ) is persecuted; he couldn't mention any, and , id he came from New York. John BridweU testified to his good character before, d poor character since his connection with thq ite Road. Ir. Willis-E. Venable, formerly a clerk of Hoyt's, ifled that he thought Hoyt worth $20,000 before went on the road, and said he had heard a great L against him in the last six months. (. H. Culberson, formerly a clerk of the defend- testified more about the lumber, stating tiiat , Hoyt made a profit of from $5 to $15 per thous- ' feet, and that some days he sold $20,000 feet of iber. He stated that he had heard several express mselves as satisfied of his innocence; hut upon ig requested to mention them, coaid not name a gle one. Mr. Jones, Cashier of the Georgia National Rank, ited that Mr. Hoyt’s average deposit in his bank Hoyt pi Cincinnati, Juno 13.—Tbe following circular has been sent to about 200 prominent gentlemen who favored the original Cincinnati movement: New York, June G, 1872. The undersigned desires to have a conference of gentlemen who are opposed to the present Administration and its continuance in office, and deem it neces sary that all the elements of the opposi tion should be united for a common ef fort at the coming presidential i lection. They respectfully invite you to meet a number of gentlemen belonging to the different branches of the opposition at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, on June 20, at 2 p. m., for the pnrpose of consultation, and to take such action as the sitnation of things may require. Your attention is respectfully drawn to th8 fact that this invitation is strictly personal to yourself, and a prompt re ply is earnestly requested, addressed, to Henry D. Lloyd, Secretary of the Committee, P. O. Box No. 2209. Carl Schubz, Oswald Ottendorfeb, Jacob D. Cox, David A. Wells, Wm. C. Bryant, Jacob Brinkerhoff. We say to Democrats, bewaTe 1 Noth ing was ever more persistently followed np by any set of men on earth, than the effort which has been made by the ene mies of the Democratic Party within its own ranks, to kill it forever. These ene mies are trusted leadefs—men who are in high position in the party—who, as open enemies in the ranks of the oppo sition, could do nothing against ns; bat as “ foes within,” have spread disaffec tion and demoralization far and wide; but thank God, have not yet been able to induce the party to take the suicidal step they desire. The foregoing circular is the most sig nificant thing of the day. Here is a call by the prime movers in the Liberal Re publican movement, who got it np in op position to Grant. They have seen that the effort to induce the Democrats to sup port Greeley is a failure—a dead failure —and anew deal is to be made. No doubt Greeley is to be withdrawn. The headquarters of this nest of trea son in the bosom of the Democratic Par ty, is in New York— and the Moneyed Rings of that and other cities—the big Bond-Holders—some, members of the Democratic Party, occupying high place —are the men who are playing this doable game—acting this treacherous part. The pocket interest of tlio Bond Ring is at the bottom of all this. Their successive movements to kill the party have been: First, Treachery to the Democratic nomination for President in 1863. The mouth-piece of this Ring—the New York World—secured Seymour’s defaat. Second. The New Departure move meat. This Hon. B. H. Hill avows that he first publicly proposed in the United States—thus identifying himself with the origin of the treacherous design. Third—The effort of Mr. Belmont, the big bondholder, who is Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of the United States, to induce the Cincin nati Convention to nominate Adams— who is, on principle, as objectionable as Greeley, thinking the Ring would be able certainly to carry the Democratic Party over to his support. Fourth. Urging the Democratic Con vention at Baltimore and the Party every where, to support Greeley, under the deceptive cry of “anything to beat Grant’” And, finally, in this call we recognize another Greek Horse. Greeley is to be given up. The circular gives abundant evidence of this. The handwriting is on the wall. Hon. B. H. Hill goes to New York to-night. No donbt he has one of these invitations. Governor Brown is already there, and no donbt he is one of the chief manipulators of this call. Beware! Stand to your colors. Ad here to honest principles. The lines of the foe are wavering, and ready to break in confusion. Democrats, come np to a solid cbaTge upon their ranks, and victory is ours. Hon. A. H.

I Southern States by. Granfa Negro Goo<l Templars. The question of organizing lodges of colored Good Templars, has presented some perplexing aspects to the leaders of that Order in the South, but, at a recent session of the R. W. Grand Lodge, in response to a petition from TV. E. H. Searcy, G. TV. S. of Georgia, and A. S. Elliott, G. W. S. of Alabama, the matter was satisfactorily disposed of by the adoption of the following resolutions: 1st. We recommend that the prayer for a separate organization among the colored population of the Southern States be granted, and that the R. W. G. Lodge hereby confers upon the Grand Lodge now organized, or that may hereafter be organized, in any of the said Southern States, the entire control of the introduc tion and management of the same, with in their respective jurisdictions, the prin ciple already having been recognized in the organization of the Cold Water Tem plars. 2d. We further recommend that a committee of three, be selected by the delegation present from the Grand Lodge South, who’ shall prepare a suita ble Ritual, Charter, Odes, etc., for the use of the sail organization, and submit the same at as early day as practicable, to the Executive Committee of this R. W. Grand Lodge, for their inspection and approval; and that when so approved by them the same shall be printed and kept on hand for sale by the R. W. Grand Secretary, as other supplies are now done, at such prices as the said committee in conjunction with the Ex ecutive Committee, shall recommend, provided, that but one such Ritnal and organization shall be authorized. # 3d. We further recommend the adop tion of the following resolution: Resolved, That this body hereby de clares that all Grand Lodges have full power under our constitution to grant or refuse to grant charters to any appli cants; and that no Lodge can be formed within the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge; and that the Grand Lodge has the power to revoke the charter of any Lodge within its jurisdiction, as provided by the constitution. Clint hum County Resolutions. The following are the resolutions adopted by the Democracy of Chatham county, at a meeting held Wednesday: The Democratic' Party of Chatham county, in convention assembled, do re solve: That we are unalterably attached to the great principles which have always been enunciated and maintained by the Democratic Party of the Union; which, wbl j controlling its Government, se cured domestic peace and happiness, and respect abroad; which oppose all advances towards the centralization of power in the General Government, and maintain the reserved nghte of the States and the supremacy of the civil over the military power. 3 That we believe the future mainten ance of these principles depends upon the existence of the Democratic Party as an organization. That we select delegates to the Con vention at Atlanta with no instructions except to choose as delegates to Balti more such good nud wise men as will Droperly represent the Democracy of Georgia. That we congratulate ourselves and our people on the administration of Hon. James M. Smith, Governor of Georgia. >-S-4 Why Pork Declines. Tue Cincinnati Price Current says: The large number of hogs coming into the leadiug markets in the West have a depressing influence upon the provision trade, and not ouly this, but in this mat ter the trade is much disappointed, be cause it was supposed oy most, if not all, engaged in the pork business, that, after the regular pork packing had been ended, the country would have been pretty well clear of hogs; but, os the sequel has shown, this was simply the reverse of what was the case, and the number of hogs then held by farmers exceeded far that, of any previous season. Thus the receipts of live and dressed hogs at Chicago, from March 4th to May 20th, each 522,118—an increase over the cor responding period of last year of 276,- 672. The receipts at Cincinnati, from March 9th to May 25th, reach 105,017— an increase of 58,291 over the corres ponding year. Here is an increase of rather over 100 per cent, for the time, not yet quite three months, the aggre gate receipts at both places being 657,~ 135. The Acreage In Cotton.

S’dshes; and noTwithTtami- *-**~W* -w—p 5 - - - - - as it is from the reports of reliable cor respondents—tbe following conclusions are reached: First—As to acreage in cotton, Jane 1st, it may be stated as follows, for the last three years: toyt pat $25,000 l that bis is from $2,003 to $4,000; U»t pltsl In Hoyt and Jones* bank, and that bis partner iced $5,000; that Mr. Hoyt agreed to deposit an tonnt over and above that, and that there was talk tbe time to tbe effect that Mr. Hoyt could do moro in be bad done. On tbe re-direct examination by unsel for tbe defense, Mr. Jones came to the con- ision he vras mistaken, and that Mr. Hoyt agreed contribute ten thousand capital to the bank, and mid increase that amount by deposit to twenty- e thousand dollars. I /Mr. A. B. Culberson vras requested to testify as to lh» agreement and contract between Messrs. Hoyt Ik tones, but it appearing that sneb contract was in lrrittng.be was not permitted to testify, the written ■ridence being tbe highest testimony. I Mr.AL Harris was introduced by tbe defense, tnd testified: I was connected with tbe State Road about three i. There are about twenty »x miles of side- : on tbe State Road. The track was in better londltiou when tbe lessees took it than when Hal- Wt went oat. Here Mr. Harris examined some ro- borts of cross-ties received by Charley Davis, con- ictor of tbe lumber train. He recognized some or •em as in tbe hand-writing ot Davis: some as not; |3me approved by himself, some not. There were oat 100,000 ties nsed on tbe road in 1870. We used ore in 1870 than in '69, because we employed a fouble force—about 200—tho road being in a bad Condition. Track-raisers received $1 $5 per day in i'UO, and one dollar in 1800.

The Griffin Hews of the 14th, says: Judge Harper, one of the livest men in Georgia, and tho efficient ordinary of Pike county, was in the city on yester day. He reports everything lovely, and ordered an extra large amount of mar riage licenses. The crop prospects are very flattering, and the marriage pros pects much better.

The Savannah Republican of the 14th, has the following: We perceive, by the Charleston pa pers, that this notorious individual, re cently arrested in Atlanta, and subse quently released by Judge Erskine, has returned to Charleston and made him self still more notorious by attempting to muzzle tbe press of tbat city. He met Mr. John A. Moroso, one of the editors of the Courier, near the corner of Broad and Meeting streets, rudely accosted him about certain publications iu the Courier concerning his trial in Atlanta, which Mr. Moroso avowed, when Hendricks dealt him a furious blow, aud then re treating a few steps, drew aud leveled a pistol at him, saying as he did “so, ‘Til teach some of you men to write about ^ x ” »-X.~ ac..—. - - was unarmed, and hence was unable to resent the dastardly outrage. The at tack was unprovoked, as the pretext for the assault was merely the reproduction of the reports of the trial from the At lanta papers. Why didn’t he try it on the editors of Atlanta ? It is fortunate, perhaps, for the Atlan ta editors that it takes Hendricks so long to get good mad. If he had only gotten his “dander up” while he was here, somebody might have been “hurted.” A Beautiful Simile. Total in all South 8,835,545 7,811,796 8,867,647 Second—From the above we see that the total acreage does not materially dif fer from 1870, and hence it would seem that in no event (even with every con dition favorable throughout the year) can this crop exceed the crop of 1870-71, as that season is admitted to have been almost perfect for cotton cnltivation and cotton picking. Third—The crop at present is in good condition, but backward and likely to mature late, except in Texas. The seed early planted is very favorably started. The later plantings have now been brought forward by the recent rains, though there is still some complaint that tho stands are imperfect or spotted in two or three States. they cannot be inspired with sufficient confidence to remould them into an or ganized body. If that ticket is defeated, then the Democratic Party is most cer tainly annihilated, and can never be re suscitated. Many of those Democrats who advo- Yours, «fec., William Fletcher.

These two j may be applied, willbe merely paliative, questions can only be answered by an and Republican government on this con- emphatic “NO,” and for these reasons: The Liberal Republican .Party is bnt a reorganization of the Republican Par ty under new leaders. It advocates few or no Democratic principles; on the con- 1 trary, it advocates many anti-Democratic principles; and it not only participated in the enactment of all of the most odi ous of the measures under which the country is now suffering, but also advo cates the authority of the Federal tinent is doomed to an early death ! It would be far better for the Democratic Party at the Baltimore Convention to make nominations, and place the candi dates on a sound lJemocralic Platform with the certainty of defeat, than to in dorse the Cincinnati platform and candi dates. By pursuing this course the Party will be kept intact, and there will be some hope in the future for the Republic I ask : would it not be better to endure How tbey Harry in Gwinnett. The Herald of the 12th has the sub joined account of a spirited marriage, which took place in Lawrenceville Sun day night: Mr. Scott Davis, having obtained li cense from the Ordinary to marry Miss Robinson, daughter of Judge Adam Robinson, started to meet his bride near the residence of her father. She left the house while the family were at supper, and the couple, mounted on horseback, rode rapidly on to town, apprehending that her father might follow. Two young gentlemen, learning what was on hand, concluded to go down and meet them. After getting near the Judge’s house, they separated, and one of the young men started on to town with the bride and groom. After they had passed on some distance, the other yonng man came dashing up behind, and tne party, supposing it was the yonng lady’s father, plied whip and spur. The young man behind, desiring to overtake them and be at the marriage, “let his horse out,” and they had a regular steeple-chase to town. The party arrived safely at Mr. Murphy’s, who quickly tied the gordion-knot, and the twain were made one and went on their way rejoicing. While Father Ryan was speaking hot long since in Mobile, before the guests of the Ladies’ Memorial Association, he made use of the following words. In pointing to a heavy bank of clouds just rising in the West and obscuring the setting sun, among which a vivid lightning was incessantly playing, he said: As yon sun goes down behind a dark cloud,so went down the hopes of those en gaged in the unequal straggle for South ern liberty; as you now see the light nings flashing and blazing athwart the face of that cloud, so leaped the bolts of hate and persecution. But behind that cloud the stars are still shining, just as the star of hope is still lighting up the hearts of our people; and as the sun will rise again on the morrow, so shall event ually rise np in all ite splendor the down trodden and partially obscured cause of right and justice. Immmcnse Shipment ol*Vegetal>lcs. The Savannah Hews of yesterday says: “The different steamships leaving our port for Northern cities go out crowded with vegetable truck of all descriptions every trip. Yesterday the steamship Huntsville carried immense quantities of cacumbers, tomatoes, squashes, etc., for our Northern friends. We hear that the Huntsville had application for freight room for several hundred bales of cotton more than she was able to take, owing to the large freight of the above. Competition vs. Monopoly.

The hob weather is fully on us, and something cooling is sought for, andT propose to say something more on the subject of ice. Since it has been made here, it has become an important item in Atlanta’s trade, and those who had the nerve to invest in the wonderful inven tion will, no doubt, in due time realize good profits upon their investment. The price of ice now, compared with what it was before this company com menced making it, is another evidence of the old adage that competition is the life of trade. From all I can learn, Ibe- lieve ice never was sold in Atlanta for less, than 3J cents per pound, except when competition periodically arose, and monopoly set to work to kill it off, in which it always succeeded, till the Ice Manufacturing Company got under full headway here, which, fortunately for the people of Atlanta and for the stockhold ers in the company, is too strong to be vanquished, and every body is in the fall enjoyment of this great luxury at from one to one and a half cents per pound—equal to seaboard prices. This company is selling ice by the car load to Montgomery, Athens, and else where. The quality of the article made has been fully tested, and found equal to any in every respect, while it can be used with less waste. The people of Atlanta are indebted to this company for a boun tiful supply at low rates, and are using ^ it more freely than ever. Ouser^eis.
