FOR GOVERNOR:
JAMES M. SMITH.
ssa
S V
& l
Platform Adopted by the Jeffersonian
Democratic State Convention Assem
bled in Atlanta on the 20th August,
1872.
1. Resolved, That the Government of
the United States is one formed by sepa
rate States; that it is one of limited pow
ere, delegated by the States for specific
purposes and objects set forth in the
Constitution; and that it possesses of
itself no original or inherent power
whatever.
2. Kesolved, That the Union estab
lished by the Constitution is a Union of
States, Federal in its character, com
posed of States thereby united, and i8
incapable of existence without the States
as its constituent integral parts; that the
indestructibility of .the States—of their
rights and of their equality with each
other—is an indispensable part of this
political system, ar d therefore, the per
petuation oi the Union in its integrity
depends npon the preservation of the
States in their political integrity; flie
Government of the United States being
a Federal Republic, and not a consoli
dation of the whole people into one
homogeneous Nation.
3. Resolv d, That the “right of local
State-government” with the “subjection
of the military to the civil autnority,”
and “the security of the privilege of
the writ of habeas corpus,” in time of
peace, with the power to enforce “the
rights, and promote the well-being of its
iuliabitnnts by such means as the judg
ment of its own people may prescribe,”
are reserved, secured and guaranteed un
der the Constitution of the United States
to the several States of theUnion; and that
too, not “subject to any solemn Consti
tutionnl obligation upon the part of the
Federal Government” of any kind what
ever; but on the contrary, the Ftderal
Government is under a solemn Constitu
tional obligation not to interfere in these
matters in any way; and when it does so,
it becomes a usurper of power, an oppres
sive tyrant and an enemy to the liberties of
the country.

WEDNESDAY* SEPT, lltn, 1872.
EDITORIALS BY MR. STEPHENS—
Augusta,
A recent flying visit to this ancient
town, enabled the writer oi this to look
over it—being the first time since the
war.
Every city has some peculiarity of its
arrangement and the habits of the peo
ple. In Augusta, Broad street is the
principal street, both for residences and
business. Nearly all the business of the
city is done on this street, except Eome
of the heavy cotton business houses,
which are back on quiet streets, and out
of the throng and bustle of the city.
There are not many elegant residences
in the city. Large numbers of the
wealthy people live in what is known as
the Sand Hills—the “West End” of
Augnsta. Two or three streets have
handsome private residences on them,
but beyond this the merchants and pyv
fessional men live, cn broad street, in
the uppor stories over the business hous
es. Almost every building on Broad
street is occupied for business on the first
floor, and for a family residence above.
Nearly all the houses on Broad street
are very ancient looking—scarcely one
to be seen more than three stories high,
and very low at that, with small narrow
windows. We saw but one hoose which
is really of modem structure, which is
that farefamed and extensive Dry Goods
palace of James A. [Gray & Co. This is
really one of the largest wholesale Dry
Goods honses in the whole South. This
elegant marble front store is of modern
bnild and style and is really one of
the most attractive and conspicuous ob
jects in Augusta. It is four stories high
and filled with goods from top to bot
tom. It is a great trade emporium in
itself, and its proprietors justly enjyoy
a widespread patroange and enviable
reputation. Whoever goes to Augusta
should look at this great store.
We met our «ld friend, Col. Joseph T.
Smith, (of the firm of Jennings &
Smith, Cotton Factors and Commission
Merchants,) formerly of Elbert county.
He was Colonel of the 15th Georgia
Regiment during the war—soon after
which he went to Augusta and associated
himself with Mr. Jennings, an'experi
enced gentleman of high reputation,
both of whom enjoy that business confi
dence which the strictest integrity and a
careful attention to the wants of patron-
1 given by the Agricultural Society of the
county, at the fair grounds, where they
will, this fall, hold a grand fair, for which
preparations are now being made on a
grand scale. It was also announced that
Gen. A R. Wright and Col. J. D.
Mathews, both of whom are cadidates
for the nomination for Congress in that
fthe 5th) District, would address the
people, which they did. Gen. Wright
made a speech of about two hours in
length, while CoL Mathews spoke about
a half hour.
Besides these attractions, nominations
were made for candidates for the Legis
lature, which resulted in the choice of
Capt. L. B. Willis and Judge W. W.
3£oore. The selection of this ticket was
the result of a compromise between the
Greeley men and the Straight Demo
crats. The Straight element is very
strong in the county which Gen. Wright
was heard to attribute to the inflence of
The Atlanta Sun, which circulates
largely in Greene. Both the gentlemen
selected are first-class citizens, who will
make good influential representatives, if
elected, and we hope to be able to ac
complish this. Better men could not be
selected.
The Delegates chosen to the Congres
sional Convention were Porter Daniel,
Dr. Jernigan, Judge Gresham and Jas,
Davidson. No resolutions or platform of
any kind were adopted, and no instrnc
tions given to the Delegates. It is be
lieved they are favor of Mathews.
j^The candidates for the nomination at
t^2 Congressional Convention, which
meets in Augusta next Thursday, are
Gen.DnBose (the present representative,)
Gen. Wright and Col. Mathews. What
the result will be is not known. It is
said that all the lower counties in the
District are committed to Gen. Wright.
If this he so he will be nominated; but
all the upper counties are strongly at
tached to Mathews and DuBose, and if
either of these divide the strength of a
portion of the lower counties he will be
very apt to secure the nomination.
The Delegates to this Convention from
Elbert countv are L. L. Clark, S. D.
Blackwell, Robt. M. Heard and W. H.
Mattox. * C. M. J.

.Remains of Father O’Reilly.
An Imposing Procession.
By one o’clock yesterday afternoon over 2,000 per
sons had assembled at the car .shed to witness the
arrival and reception of the remains of the late la
mented Rev. Father O’Reilly.
The train bearing the remains of tho honored and
beloved deceased moved slowly under the car shed,:
while tho lacomotive bell tolled in memory of the
dead. The car containing the earthly remains of
the late pastor and minister was draped in morning,
and was in tho care of the escort, which met the
remains at Dalton.
Almost the entjie congregation of the church of
the deceased, consisting of various benevolent and
religious societies, had arranged themselves in or
der on either sido of the train to pay a last tribute
to the memory of their beloved friend and pastor.
As a proof of the esteem and absolute veneration in
which Rev. Father O’BeiUy was held, it will not be
amiss to"itato what was actually the fact. Fully one
third of the many hundreds who received his re
mains were in tears. Women and children, little
girls and boys, and even old men, hardened with
labor and rough contact with the world, were melted
to tears. It was a spectacle worthy of martial hero.
The remains having been deposited in the hearse,
to wUchwero attached four jet black horses, draped
with mourning crape and adorned with mourning
plumes, the procession formed and marched
through the streets to the Catholic Church.
First in order came tho carriage containing the
clergy from Macon, Augusta and other places, drawn
by four coal-black horses, decked in plumes and
crape. Second came the hearse accompanied by
numerous poll-bearers. Thud, the Society of
“ Holy Angels”—a company of little girls of tender
age arrayed in mourning costume, one feature of
which—the most touching of all—was their tears,
Fourth, the Society of Aloysieus”—a society of
young boys. Fifth, the " Holy Childhood”—a pro
cession of girls. Sixth, the “Societyof St. Joseph”—
a procession of young men belonging to tho church.
Seventh, the “Hibernian Benevolent Society” in
mourning costume. Eighth, members of the vari
ous Fire Companies. Ninth, citizens who joined in
the procession, and tenth, a long procession of car
riages, containing friends and admirers of the de
ceased.
The pageant proceededout Loyd street to Decatur;
up Decatur to its terminus; up Marietta to Broad;
out Broad to Alabama; down Alabama to Whitehall
up Whitehall to Mitchell; down Mitchell to Loyd,
and thence to the church, where the remains of
the beloved dead were deposited to await the funeral
services this morning, the last public earthly
tribute to the remains of Rev. Father Thomas
O’Reilly, for ten years the pious, eloquent and be
loved pastor of the Catholic Church in this city, and
an esteemed and honored -dtizen of this city.
The solemn Requiem mass will bo sung this
moning at 10 o’clock, whereupon tho body will be
deposited in tho vault in the basement of the
church.

COMPENSATION.
BY A. R. WATSON.
I don’t deny that Nature made
A very sorry churl of me;
And wherefore I was made at all
I never could exactly see.
I’m very awkward in my gait,
My manner is not comme if jant;
There’s not a girl in all the land
Would care to have me for her beau.
I cannot sing, I cannot dance;
My speech is broken, at the best.
I can’t croquet upon the lawn,
For balls I’ve no especial zest.
The clothes would never rest at ease
On this misshapen back of mine;
My feet are most ungainly things
And ill at esse in number nine.
Belles-lettris I have not attained :
I am, in short, a very clown,—
A hapless, hopeless ne’er-do-well,—
The laughing-stock for half the town.
But nature, dear benignent jade.
For every cumbrous wo she sends,
Has something in her bounteous stor
For every ill to make amends.
store,
And though she tried her wizard hand
To make me such a wo.ul fright,
I bless her, that, with pork and beans.
She gave a first-rate appetite.
Correetlwn.
In the comments upon an article from
the Constitution, headed “The Atlanta
Snn Defending General Grant’s Admin
istration," there are two veibal errors
which mar th»* sense. The last clause of
the coucludiug sentence of the second
paragraph is as follows: “And ihat the
monstrous frauds and usurpations of the
Fifteenth Amendment and the Enforce
ment Acts are the dead iaeaes of tbe
war.”
In this clause the wora “that” should
be “ treat,” and the word “are” should
be “as.”
kept-by Mrs. Thomas, the widow of Wm.
M. Thomas, Esq., the former proprietor.
She is a most excellent and deserving
lady of energy, bat truly ladylike deport
ment. Her husband who died of paraly
sis in December last, was a brother of
Hon. Thomas W. Thomas, the highly
gifted lawyer who made such a wide fame
and reputation at the bar of the Northern
Circuit from 1850 to 1861. He was one
of the mo3t remarkable men that ever
lived in Georgia, and we shall, in all pro
bability never look npon his like again
Augusta is looking with interest to the
completion of the Port Boyal Railroad,
which is promised by tbe 1st of January
next. It is believed that this road will
exercise a controling influence upon the
commerce of the country, divert much of
it from its old channels, and sensjbly af
fect the transportation of the great cen
tres of trade on this Continent. The
Harbor is considered one of the best in
the world. The largest ships on the
ocean can come right along side tbe
wharf and receive their burdens of
freight—a thing which cannot be done
anywhere else. Cotton can be rolled
from the cars right into the ships. It is
estimated tnat the cost of putting *bale
of cotton from Augusta on board a ship
at Port Boyal will be fifty cents. It now
costs a dollar and a quarter from Augus
ta to either Charleston or Savannah.
At either of these ports, and at almost
any other in America, very heavy vessels
have to bo laden far out from the shore
from smaller vessels. Several East India
shippers, owning vessels of the largest
capacity, were in Augusta last spring,
and said they would establish a line of
these large vessels at once, if the Rail
road were completed, believing that not
only nearly all the foreign trade of the
Southern States, but much of the West
ern and Northwestern States wonid be
supplied from Pott Royal, instead of
New York, and other Northern Ports—
thus materially changing the general
channels of trade as they now exist.
The practicability of this view will, no
doubt, be tes-ted in less tlian two years
from this time.

^STAMMERING CURED.—A card
from~Rev~E? W7Waiien7‘ pastor ofTbe
First Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga.:
K;I have satisfactory reasons ’for believ
ing Dr. N. A. Moses is a successful prac
titioner in the specialty to which ho is
pevoting his time and talents.
A letter from my Nephew, Prof. San
ford, of Pen field, whose son Edgar was,
to my knowledge, an inveterate stammer
er, informing me of his cure by Dr. M.
gives assurance ol his ability to cure
similar cases. E. W. Warren, gg
Atuanxa, Ga., Sept, 3,1872.
Tbe prospects for tbe cotton crop which were so
flattering and promising three weeks ago, have been
suddenly blighted in this section. Tbe estimates
for an abundant yield at that time were predicated
on tbe fine growing condition of tho crop at that
time, which was really without a precedent in tbe
experience of cotton-growers in this community.
Unfortunately, however, this uninterrupted paiod
of dry and hot weather lias been most disastrous,
withering tbe leaves, checking tbe development of
the fruit and actually scalding tho plant in a degree.
Tbe abundant rains in Auigust bad flooded the plant
with a large snrplbs of sap, which becoming sud
denly heated by tbe hot sun, actuaUy scalded
the stalk. Tbe leaves are withering, and tbe dam
age inflicted by tbe warm weather surpasses the
most fatal ravages of caterpillars. No apprehensions
may be entertained from this devastating worm
now, for there is not sufficient foliage loft to sup
port it. As a consequence of these disasters tbe
prospects for a cotton crop, which wore so flattering
three weeks ago, have doubtless been reduced one
half, and tbe coming crop will be in quantity and
quality very similar to that last year.
&But in tbe face of this unexpected blight in tbe
cotton crop, we are rejoiced to say that the prospects
for a yield of corn and fodder, and forage in general,
are most encouraging. Tbe corn crops have not
beon better, it is claimed, in tho memory of tbe
oldest citizen; and tbe season for preserving fodder
and other forage has been remarkably fine, tbe
quantity and quality being unsurpassed. Stock too,
is said to be in fine condition everywhere, well for
tified for the rigors and privations of winter.
So i’ is indeed gratifying to know that while the
gin booses may not swt-li with cotton bales, tbe
cribs will groan with their overburden of corn, thus
rendering it unnecessary for tbe farmer to make
large outlays for provisions.

Dear Sirs—I take pleasure in stating
that I have used for the last twenty years
the medicine you are putting up, known
as Dr. Bradfield’s FEMALE REGULA
TOR, and consider it the best combina
tion ever gotten together for the diseases-
for which it is recommended. I have
been lamiliar with the preparation both
as a practitioner of medicine and in do
mestic practice, and can honestly say that
I consider it a boon to snfforing females,
and can but hope that every lady in our
land, who may be suffering in any way
peculiar to their sex, may be able to pro
cure a bottle, and their sufferings may
not only be relieved, but they bo res
tored to health and strength.
With my kindest regards I am, res-

On Sunday morning about 10 o’clcck, a serious al
tercation occured between two individuals named
Lambert and Bus^ee, near tbe entrance of tbe Bar-
lacks, which, though executed witb tbe greatest
earnestness, and tbe most profound solemnity, was
iu no degree calculated to advance tbe interests of
society, morals or religion.
Busbee, we learn, stepped into a bar-room belong
ing to Lambert, about 10 o’clock, and asked for a
drink; Lambert’s wife promptly filled tbe glass aud
was about to baud it .o Busbee, when suddenly per
ceiving her husband at tbe end of tbe counter, in
a sort of semi-conscious condition, thought that he
demanded her more immediate attention; and witb
tb 3 benevolent intention to brighten his wits, (as
w.<ll as bis eyes,) dashed tbe entire contents of tbe
glass into bis (her husband’s) face.
Ibis graceful salute aroused Mr. Lambert from
bis lethargy, and acting npon th<s3triking sugges
tion, be arose to wait upon Mr. Busbee. FresenUy
be and Busbee engaged in an altercation about pay-
in.? for tho drink, curing which controversy Mr
Busbee, byway of parenthesis, dealt some heavy
blows to Lambert, and eeemeu about to embark into
tb ? luizarcou* business of making sausage meat of
U,. Lambert. Mr. Lambert, who at first did not
v- u suspect such intention on tbe part of Busbee
it set rea lizing hi* foul design, thought ftc would
ge. up a riva. busiu? sr by going into the avocation
i f butchery- Witn this view, and with a ffice radi-
e n- witb hopes of triumph, he rushed frantically
into bis kitchen, seized a monster carving fort, re
turned and commenced tickling Mr. Busbee in
most fearful manner, inflicting painful wounds iu
tbe shoulder and tbe hip.
This exhibition attracted quite a large company of
spectators who being disgusted witb branch of tbe
sarssage and butcher business, finally retired, re
fl»cting on tbe virtu- s of Sunday dram shops.
