Kockdale county had her primary election on last Saturday (2Gth intd) for the purpose of nominating a Democratic candidate for tho Legislature. After the vote was courted out on Monday by tho Executive Committee, it was found that neither ol the candidates had .i majority ol the votes polled. There was there fore, under the rule agreed upon by the party in convention, no.'nomiuation. The Committee then passed a resolution de claring the field open to any or all that may desire to run. (The votes, resolu tions and action ol the Executive Com mittee in full will be found iu this issue) So the field is now open, and two candi dates have entered therein. Judge E. li. Rosser not having as great a thirst lor office as his opponents gracefully retired, leaving the field to his former opponen's and such others as might, conid, would, or should enter the list. As the field is now open and there is to be uo nomination and tho contest is to lea personal one we hope every seeker alter the office of Representative from Ilockdale couuty will buckle on his ar mor, gird up bis lotus, and run the the race set before him with fear and ticm bling, for uot only his own but his ooun try's good ; “with God for all and the devil taking the hindmost.” “lie that tutors the tieM at the elev enth hour to work lor his country's good •might to reap as much glory as tlic one who hole the heat and burden of the -day." Ye candidates, ye lovers of office, vye strikers alter the flesh pots of your couutry, place yourse'ves in line, put yoursekea in position, eyes to the front, pick your flints, go in and charge and flight, and win the victory, as you inarch ud and fought and bled in the dnys that tried lueu’s souls—-yea, in the dark days between J 861 and 1865, when the bra vest trembled, aud the pious doubted the favor of God.” Yes; treat and election eer, eleotioiMxr’ aud treat, aud all will yet l>e well. Iu the future if Kockdalo cau't find some other way of selecting Democratic candidates; if Uwsre is not power in the party to cleanse itself’; if it can’t be purged of its corruption ; if it can’t as sort its own manhood and coulrol its own deliberation without kuuckling to its opponents and the disaffected in its own r uks so fa as we are conoerned let Democracy in this county go to the dogs. We are opposed to the plan aud maimer of cany iug it out. If the Demo cratic party cap’t boss its own delibera li.ms it ought to go to pieces! If men Lave to buy llieir way into olliw, and then swear they didn't treat &c. to get votea, it's lime to halt * n( l •"** * ai we liuvo drifted ! - *• • lUtKirtN any that Col Ji. Y.

Our readers shouid take good looks at them, for they will have hut few’ more chancel to sec them before they are safely ensconced in the White House, and hid in the folds of the victorious banner of Democracy. We have already published short sketches of ll.eir lives, but that matters but little, as their histories will ho read in a nation s eyes and in a nation's honor. Fulton county has had her primary election for Democratic nominees for the Legislature which resulted in the selec tion of lions. John II James, George 1 Fry and Henry Hillyei. While wo re gret the defeat of several aspirants we must say the ticket is a good and strong one. Wo congratulate the State, as well Atlanta and Fulton county, on the selec lion of so able Representaiives. They will do the State some service. United States troops are being scatter ed about in the doubtful Southern Slates (if there be such) to intimidate Demo cratic voters, and thereby aid in tho elec tion of Hayes and Wheeler. “How long—oli, Lord The Thirty-Fourth Senatorial Convention. Tho delegates composing the thirty fourth convention senatorial district assembled at Store Mountain yesterday. There were present from. Giwnnett—Joseph Britt, S E Thomp son ; Eli J McDaniel. Henry—E J Ragan, Rev F Morris. DeKalb—J Y Flowers, O Winning ham, J N Swift, II V Bayne. On motion, Eli J. McDaniel was called to flie chair, and V T lLmgran requested to not aa secretary. O, Winniugham moved that Col. G W Bryan, of Henry county, he nominated by acclamation as candidate for senator from tho 34th district, which prevailed. Mr O Winningham offerd ilm follow ing resolutions, which were unanimous ly adopted: l*w hcrcas, a misunderstanding as to the power and duty of this seua tot ial con vention has arisen iu % minds of some by reason of the fact that up to the present time, it was seen proper to nom inate the person suggested by the del egates from the country entitled to such representations; and, IA herns, such misconoept’on of the power and duty of this convention may in future be the “oa"se oi discord and division in the Democratic party of this district; be it. Resolved, That while wo recognize the rotaiy system as the just and equi table one, that each and every county iu this senatorial district has the right aiid is entitled to an equal voice, according to representation in the selection ofa candidate to fill such positions; that there may be hereafter a fuller express ion of the wishes of the people ol tho several comities comprising this senato* i ial distriot iu the selection of candidates so fill said office. 2 That hereafter couuties composing this sen atonal district, he culilicd to double the representation it now has; Gwinnett county sixteen votes, Henry county eight votes, Dclvalb county eight voles. 3. That the seoiotary ol this conven tion turnish to the chairman ot the ex ecutive committee of each of the couu ties oiubraocd iu this district, a copy of these resolutions lor lliier information aud guidance. * E Morris offered the following which was adopted: lieso'ved, That the seretary furnish the Atlanta Constitution, Hampton weekly and Gwinnett Herald with a copy of these proceeding, with the request to publish the same. On motion 'of O Winninghaiu the convention adjourned. Ki.i J McDanikl, K J It kaoan, Chairman, Secretary — Atlat&a Constitution $30,000,000 A year—The i“Hard Times” Accounted For. It is well, says the Hartford Times, for the taxpayers to know what sums of money this Republican party has been spending. Corruption in office, extrava gance without bound, and a perfect loose ness and recklessness on the part of the men who have for years so shockingly mismanaged the country's affairs-these things have been known, or vaguely un derstood, by the public, for some time. Hut who has known or believed the ns* tound'mg fact that, for the last ten years (yells of protound peace) the public ex penditures, as reported by the Secretary of the Treasury, for each tiscal y ear separ ately, have been over three hundred and thirty million a year? No wonder the people are poor. No wonder trade is stagnant. Our resources have been drained and wasted in riotous living. Over three billions, three hundred and six millions of dollurs vanished in the | conduct of this government for the last ten years of peace! And not a passable vessel left in the navy to show for all the millions spent there—the navy not strengthened but gone to ruin; not an honest system of revenue collection —nearly half of that wasted, or lost in corrupt “rings” and combinations now prove to have extended in the White House; no economy in the Post Oflice Department, where the robbing “straw bid" system ol awarding contracts is still draining the treasury} not an army that cau he used to put down Silting Hull and the Indians—it is wanted to overawe and prevent the votes of the white citi zens ol tho Southern States; not a single tiling, in fact, lo point to, to explain this vast and appealing expenditure cf the people’s money. Even the costly and disastrous miscalled “leconstrnction” is admitted to he a failure, when Grant orders the army into the Southern States to control tho elections. Over $330,000,000 a year!—and tliis, too, in a time of profound peace ! Is there any mystery about these “hard times?”—or any end to them, for that matter, if Hayes and his Butlerized party were again to triumph? THE NOMINATION. The Result Plainly Stated. The following gives a list of tne can* didates nominattd and the number of votes received by each: EOK THE I.EOIBI.ATUBE: James 2,538 George T. Fry, 1,786 Henry Hillyer, 1,357 FOR SHERIFF Perkerson, 3,580 FOR ORDINARY: Pittman, 1,748 FOR clerk: Collins, 2,426 FOR COUI.TY treyscrkr: Payne 2,058 for v.vx collector: Hoyle, 2,396 for tax receiver: Harris 1,213 for servecor: Walker, 1,630 tor co Rom:: Kile, 1,541 A majority of all the votes cast in the county was about 1,000, which ouly five of the candidates received on account of the large number running, the other six being nominated by a plurality vote.— Atlanta Constitution . Bullets and Bayonets. The voices which have cried warning ala coaning usurpation, tne press that lias indited its cautions against an advanc*. ing military despotism, may now be en rolled as seers and ennobled as prophets. All that has been forecast is made ac tual, everything prefigured of the future is now an event and accomplishment. The modern Ceasar marches his conquer ing legions upon prostrate States, and the sacred right of the ballot is to be constrained and coerced by the overri ding squadron, with (he flash of the sa bre and the glitter of the bayonet As we survey this bold stroke at the freedom of the voter, we ask what is its cause and what its attempted apology. Under the thin pretext of a resolution of the House of Representatives, that has no more biuding force than the resolve of a caucus, we are to pass under the super vision of tho soldier and vote at the be* best of a military President and a snb serveuturer Secretary of war, an obscure adventures and a pliant tool. The at tempted excuse for all this, almost [sur* passing in turpitude the rebellion itself, is the brutal and bloody outrage at Hamburg. That outrage had no poli tical suggestion. It. was such an out break as we have often witnessed in various parts ot the country. The hanging of the gamblers at Vic kshurg, Miss., years ago, would have called as loudly lor the war power of the Execu tive and Ins interposing columns. The scheme is ouly this and nothing more —to carry by the force of arms the electoral voles of States tor a Presi dential cmd date. It no other impulsion or purpose, Alabama, a State hitherto Republican iu its local elections, has pronouuccd against the present oligarc hy, aud sounded the note of a like de cision iu November. Other States, too, are in a like purpose of voting resistance to the-yoke. And so, to prevent this the large element ol strength, the eolor- j ed vote, is to be marched to the polls) between the flies of our armed men. * There was nothing of turbulence or riot in this Alabama election. The ne gro, indeed, cheated as he has been by The carpet bag vermin, who have deciev ed and robbed him, voted for the Demo cratic ticket. There was no m-nace or intermidation. Men congra'ulated themselves that, after long agitation, violence had censed and order supervened They lmiled the dethronement as the pestilert tdpmnds with their poitmante ans, who had sucked out the breath like the vampire, and devoured the substance of the land as the locusts. Wicked as is this attempt to prevail by means of the army, it is no less fool i i*|,. It will not change any result in the South. It might be the beginning of a solemn tragedy ; it will be the playing of a poor and pitiful farce. That it will react in the North is already made man ifest. We are not yet educated to gratuitous tyanny. The persuasions of the cartridge and the cannon are not now ot our admiration. Men will pause and ask themselves, what is to be the future of an administration thrust upon the country by the train band and the troopev? What is attempted in the South may be also an experiment in the North. The spirit of armed domination is not restricted by lines of latitude r.or boundaries of zones. If we are to be a government of men and not of laws, let the lest be made in this approaching election. For the affect in the Southern States we dismiss all npprhensioli. Without resistance, their emancipation will come with the revolution of the ballot box, and they can still suffer and await the fruition ot their long nighf of endu ranee. The madness which, in the providence of God, is the forerunner of disaster and ruin, now absorbs our ruler. The en and is of near approach, and we gladden in the dawning light. The people, in their majesty, will remand this unworthy President to the obscurity he so richly earned, and spurn the candidate he thus endeavors to impose upon them. Jus lice and right will finally prevail. “Ring out a slowly dying cause, And ancient forms of party strife : Ring in the nobler modes of life, With sweeter m aners, purer laws’’ Stic York Sun Failure of Warren Mitchel &Cos Our community will be surprised and 1 allied to know that Warren Mitchel, a verteran in the pork and provision trade has succumbed at last, under a presure too heavy for even his sturdy shoulders. He has been in business over forty years twenty-six years in this city, ani up to this time has never failed to pay dollar -lor dollar. NVe qnestion if any man of his day has exerted a more active influ ence in the trade to which his life has been devoted. The old firm, Mitchel & Armstrong (0. Q Aimstrong), of which he was principal, was for years the lead- ing provision house of our eity.W The extent of his business may be judged when we state that since the war his southern suspended debt toots up over $200,000. Confidence in the human family has been Mr. Mitch-fils ruin. Honest, prompt and faithful himself, lie has been too willing to believe others, aud now at the age of sixty eight, for the first time, finds himself unable to pay. lie has had for eleven years a well established claim against the govern meat for $228,000; and we trust that at no distant day he may collect this amount. If he could now recover 25 per cent, of his southern debt, lie would to day be not ouly solvent but itidepen dent. His estate, as it now stands, will, it is thought, pay about twenty-five cults on the dollar. His trade had been exclusively with tho South, and at the dose of tho war, vvhen southern merchants were almost universally re- garded with doubt, Mr. Mitchell gave them credit as he had before. May we not then suggest to all indebted to this firm to come at once and pay what they can t It is with no ordinary regret that we write of the troubles of this most worthy merchant. We know him well, and he justly possesses the esteem and confidence of every man with whom he has ever come in contact, and in these tryiug hours, when a sensitive nature like his wounded so deeply, it is sate to say that he lias as fully the sympathy of the people ot Louisville as any citizen to whom trouble could coino. A more honorable, high toned old Kentucky gentleman lias never been stricken by disaster. —Louisville Courier Journal. The American People.
