Primaries.
Newton county Democrats had their
primary election last Saturday lor the
nomiuation of candidates to the Legis
lature. The candidates nominated are
intelligent gentlemen and men of integ
rity. They are also acceptable in the
uraiu to ilia eyes ot the people of that
county. Though we did not lak<j our
oat to writ® about the gentlemen that
were nominated of their ability or popu
larity, lor they are well known and need
up word ire in us, but we set ourselves
flowntd condemn the manner and prac
tice of nominating by primary election.
We arc opposed to it on principles,
because the principle is wrong. There
is no chance to yet at the wants of the
majority if more than two candidates
ar before the people. It makes no
provision fir a second choice in the
event that for any reason a voter tails to
get his liist choice. A man has as good
a right to his seoond choice r>s ho has to
his first; at least, when that second
choice is the Booond choice ol the voters
of a cotintv, and pvobably the first choice
of a large res|ieelfiblo number. We
could give various and numerous reasons
—some that it would be impolitic and
unwise to give. Selections have been
made ; let us abide by them, however,
uu wise, unjust and impolitic the plan
Let ua slick to our pledges aud princi
ples aud profit by the bitter experience
of the past. We merely want to put
ourselves on record for the future ; that
we arc down on the plan of bringing out
Candida’ es by primary election. Most of
the counties that have tried it will op
pose it in the future. Let Democracy
.r ise up and put her foot on it, assort her
.own rights, aud deliberate within the
.party according to the good old Demo
,-cratio way of a convention by and of
Unlegatus selected by the party.
A Trip to Atlanta.
On ■‘Thursday afternoon (7th inst) we
boarded the up passenger train lor the
Gate City to see the sights in that great
metropolis, especially the “stars ana
stripes” that were presented to tho city
by the north-western excursionists, (an
account of which we published some
time since) and to bear the reception
speech by our dwtfciguished Southern
orator, Hon. Beuj H. Hill. At 4J p. j*.

Now for the Flag and speech. Mayor
C. C. Hammock in a tew appropriate re.

Mu. Him.— air. Mayor, Gentlemen of
the City Council and Fellow Citizens:
Immediately after the close of the late
wav, a gentleman ot Northern birth,
raising and education, one wtio had been
a brave and faithful soldier with the
northern army throughout the war, caiue
to make his luine in the South. I his
gentleman is Dr. Win. II White, and in
man in our State is more respected for
his integrity, patriotism and public spir
it. He did* not coine to boast over the
humiliation ot onr defeat. He did not
come to rob us in our helpless condition,
lie did not come to breed strife between
the races for the purpose of office and
power, lie came as a citizen, as a gen
tleman, as a patriot, to identify himself
with ns and with ours. To him we
opened our doors. He was welcomed to
our fireside*. What were his previous
political opinions we did not stop to in
quire. What they were we do not even
now know. We should have been glad
to welcome millions.ot the same kind on
the same mission.
We are unable to give even a synop
sis of the ureal and eloquent zeblres'*.—
After Mr II <;Jj*cd O A Loch
rane was loudly* and repeatedly cubed
lor. He but it was no go. That
vast throng must and would hear him.
Old Ireland's bright gem was called on
to sparkle, and sparkle it must, and
sparkle it did. Unlike the gems of other
lands, they always sparkle when they are
asked to shine. We have set his rubies
on the outside ot our casket; examine
them, dear reader, and see if they are
not diamonds of the first waters.
We saw a lot of persons and things
while on our trip that we would like to
s i\- something about, but trum is the
word- We must therefore drop the
curtain and leave it unsaid. It may be
for tlie best.
THE SENATORIAL RACE
THE CANDIDATES FOR MR
NORWOODS SEAT
The Senatorial Race—Viewed
from an Atlanta Standpoint—
The Probable Candidates—Mr-
Norwood not Disposed to Sur
render—Mr Hill in the Field-
Governor Smith in the Race—
Chances of the Candidates -
Generals Gartrell and Lawton-
| Special and Sentinel]
Atlanta, September Iff—Atlanta is
as usual bustling and busy, doing much
or little. The town is well filled at pres
ent with persons from Savannah who
have fled from the yellow fever in thnt
city, and these add to the general liveli
ness ot the streets. Although it will be
four months before the Legislature as.
sembles some of the offices to be filled
bv that body are already subjects of dis
cussion. Of course the basts of all these
discussions is the assumption that Gen-,
era! Colquitt will be elected Governor ol
Georgia by an overwhelming majority
and that tbe Legislature to be chosen in
October will bo almost unanimously
Democratic. Tbe grout prize to be a
warded in January is
the UNITED STATES SEJfATOKSUir,
As Mr, Norwoods term expires the
fourth of March next, aud his successor
will have to be chosen shortly after the
meeting of tho General Assembly. Of
com Be this splendid position will not go
begging, ami it is understood that some
notable entries have already been made
for the race. The present encumbent
ualurally euough is perfectly satisfied
wi,th the place and desires to retrain
where be is. He is working after his
kind silently but actively 110 has not
forgotten the success which attended his
“still-hunt” iu 1811, and he is relying
to a great extern upon the same tactics
in the coming contest. When it was
known in 1871 that l'hoiuas M.Norwood
was a candidate for the United Stales '
Seuate the announcement was received
with mingled amazement aud tncredulii
iv. He had never occupied a prominent
piace . i Up politic* ot • ’ ■
made no “war leeord, and was scat •dy •
known outside ot Savannah and the
It ft* rn Judicial Circui —a-d there h
was known simply as a e.iretul, painstak
ing lawyer of fair ability, cool iu manner,
stolid of countenance and slow of action,
lie made no warm friends and incurred
no lasting resentment*. He was loved
by some, disliked by a few and feared
by none. Hut under bis mask of indif
terence he contoured views the most
ambitious, and his reasoning poweis in
formed him in 1871 that the time bud
come to stiike. The lime was propi.
tons. Such men as Stephens, Toombs,
Johnson, Jenkins and Crawford were la
boring under .political disabilities and
could not contest the prize. The State
bad been captured by the Democracy,
but Bullock and Conley were striving
for a third reconstruction. Threats of
military law were leud m ttie land and
not without effect, in view ol the shame
ful* experience of 1870, when Fatty Har
ris organized the House of Represents
tives and military court determined the
right of members of the Legislature to
the scats to which they had been elec
ted. There was still a vacancy in the
Slate’s Senatorial representation, Capt.
Foster Blodgett claimed the scat by vir
tuo ot a so.-calleu election by the litdiock
Legislature, and Blodgett in those days
was high in favor with Morton, Conk
ling and their compeers. It was feared
by many that uulc-ss a moderate and n
-objectiouable Democrat was chosen the
Radical partisans in the Senate would
give the seat, to Blodgett. Mr. Norwood
was as moderate as moderation^itseh,
and wholly unobjectionable because al
most entirely unknown. Tlis principal
compel tor was General A. 11. Wright,
ol Augusta, who had made a record as a
soldier, a lawyer, a politician and a Jour
nalist. But it: the bitter war with Rad
icalism waged from 18G7.10 1870, Gen.
Wrigii*, who was never inoder te and
not always tolerant, had made many
enemies among moder
ate Democrats. Some of this latter
class di-liked him from personal reasons,
others thought that such a bold and ag
gressive man would not be permitted to
lake his scat, and so Mr. Norwood was
elected. Since iie lias been in the Sen
ate he lias shown much greater abi ity
than he was generally crcdbed wit-fi
possessing. lie lias approved hinisoit a
sound constitutional lawyer, nnc’ his
opinion upon legal questions is said to be
highly esteemed by his brother Senators.
IJe lias made two speeches, one ol which
was replete with sarcasm and with lo_gic,
and which ooeasionod a genuine sensa
tion throughout the country, ii is friends
say lhat. he has made a sate and sound
Senator, has done nothing that deserves
blame and should be re-elected. Olliers
assert that tor the very reason lie lias
done nothing he should he remaudee) to
private life ; that his record uu the sala y
grab L bad, and that he lias been neither
a brilliant nor a useful Senator, The
friends ot
Hon. Benjamin H, llill
Cairn that he will fill the bill exact:*),
ami make both a brilliant and a useful
Senator. This will*be Mr. Hill's second
attempt upon Senatorial honors. It will
be remembered that he was a candidate
three years a;o against Mr. Stephens
and Geueraj Cor Jon. In that contest he
developed much less strength than his
admirers expected him to exhibit.—
Though he was strong where the other
candidates were thought to be weak—
though his Confederate record was
equally as good as General Gordon’s,
and he was intelleotnaly the peer ol
Mr. Stephens—ho received but a small
vote, and was scarcely a factor in the
great struggle between tho Soldier and
the Statesman. There are those who
doubt wliethir he will do much belt- r
next January. It is said that live mem
b rsofthe Legislature from the Ninth
District will support him tn order to
make a vacancy in the Congressional
delegation to be filled by someone of
the nnmerou* aspirants for Congress who
are now afraid to contest the place with
Mr. Hill. But even it this story should
prove to have some foundation, it is
doubtful whether the members from the
Ninth District would fee) bouud by any
such arrangement, and it is more than
doubtful whether there is any man of
sufficient prominence among the aspi
rants to influence ttie members in this
manner. It is universally conceded that
Mr Hill is a man ofgreat eloquence aud
commanding ability. He ip a man of
whese intellect a'l Georgians are proud.
Hut the impression has obtained among
many that he 1 is not reliable in a politi
cal sense, and that it would not be safe to
trust him for so long a time as six years.
His noble conduct in tho reconstnic ion
diys of 1867 and 1868 has not been for
golteu; but his letter in 1870 is also re
membered. The “Notes on the Silua
lion” are remembered witli pride and
gratitude ; but the speech at the Bulk ck
banquet can not be explained away. Un
detstand me, I am not the enemy of
Mr. Hill. lam simply repeating the
objections I hear u’ ged against his can
didacy. Ati'eady the Columbus Enquir
er has stated that it is not safe to give
Mr. Htll au office with a term of six
years, mill n lie enter*actively on
light his talents mid hi* eloquence m A
give him a strong follow ing, though 1
gi- tly doubt if they can give him an
election. By the time this letter appeu's
he will lia\e been re-nominated for. Con
gi'f-ss from tbe Ninth District, and a
nomination there is equivalent to an elec
Run. Most people will say let him i<‘-
main in the House, where powers of
oratory will have freer play than in the
circiiinsoribcd arena of the Semite. It
were asked to name the most lormidab e
canJidude in the Held lor the United
States Senate 1 should reply
<;OV. JAMES SMITH.
Though there has been no public an
noiincouient of the fact, 1 think it is
generally understood licit Governor
Smith will be a candidate lor tile place
now occupied by Mr. Norwood, lhat
lie will he an exceedingly formidable
competitor, no one who know* the man
or who has ever encountered him in olh*
er contest*, will be disposed to deny.
He is a hard, though a quiet, worker, and
what makes him more dangerous still,
is an intelligent worker. He lias, aiso,
the rare gilt of attracting men x to him,
and making their services iu his behalf a
labor of love. Tliero is scarcely a coun
ty in the State where lie has not one or
more warm personal friends, not only
willing, but anxious to do cvet ything in
their power to promote his inclinations
and advance his interests. lam one of
those who feel firmily convinced ihat it
Gov. Smith had entered the field last
Spring, lie would have been nominated
for Governor. I have reason to believe
that lie was urged by hundreds of in
fiuenlial men to let his name be used in
the canvass. Hut he declined, and I
thinks, personally desired the nomina
tion ot Gen. Colquitt. It is a well
known fact t hat after lie refused, to rim,
most of his friends worked for the nom
ination of Oolquit'. and this circumstance
will not weaken his strength as a Sen
atorial candidate. Gov. Smith’s friends
have some strong cards iu their hand's,
and unless I am greatly misfcrken, they
will play them carelu,ly and not lose a
trick. His war record is good. He was
a gallant and skillful officer in the Con
federate army, and did not quit the field
until wounded so desperately that he
was unfit for father scivioc. But even,
his wounds did not force linn into retire’
ment. He Srm elected a member ot the
Confederate Congress, and with his vote
arid voice did everything it* power to
sustain the waning fortunes of the Con
federacy. After the war -fie was the
<1 <itvrmined ami relennHfs* enemy ol li.xd
icalism in all its baletul shapes and did
much to'relieve Georgia from the igno
niinous yoke imposed by Hulluck and
Blodgett. At tile first free election b\
the people he was sent to the State L< g
isiature and elesod Speaker of the
House of llepreseuta: ives. As Speaker lie
aided in setting cn foot those searching
investigations ot Bullock's administra
tion which made Republican government
in George odious to the world. When
the time came to fill tbe place iu the
Executive Department made vacant by
Bullock's flight, lie was a’most unani
mously elected the standard bearer of
Democracy and led its hosts on to a glo
rious victory. His was the task to bring
cider out out of chaos, to supercede
misrule with good government, corrup
tion with honesty and the rule of the
mob by the iaw of the land, lie labored
hard andf-uthfully and achieved success
commensurate with his exertions. He
rigidly eniorced the laws, and made the
Courts respected and evil-doers afraid,
lie restored the credit of the State and
sent her deprecated securities to par and
a premium. He encouraged and promo
ted, to the extent ot his power, the agri
cultural, the industrial and the educa
tional interests ot Georgia. lie main
lained the honor ot the State a* a mem
ber of tbe Federal Union. lie appoint
ed moil to office who commanded the re
spect of the people. lie enforced the
criminal laws rigidly and impartially.
All these things tell, and sh mid tell,and
his favor. All these things are fresh in
the remembrance of the people. If lie
runs he will make a manly, straight- fow
avd canvass, and if he runs he is very apt
to be elected, even with Norwood and
Hill as his opponents. I bear of but
two other candidates mentioned ns yet.
These are
<iF.NERAI,S LAWTON AND OAUTUFJ.!..
It was understood that General Gar
troll retired from the race tor Govorin r
with the hope of improving his chances
for the Senate by so doing. lie has
some friends ana his position on the dec.
torial ticket will give him opportunities
tor tnixtnu with the people that he is
very apt to improve. 1 have heard that
General Lawton will not enter the held
as loug as theie is any chance for the
election ot Mr. Norwood. Whether
then is any truth in the report or not I
can not undertake to sty. It is, how.
ever, probab y cone t, as they are both
residents ot the same place and are per
sonally very friendly If they run
against each other they would on v di
vide aud neutralize the strength of the
Savannah influence. But it Mr. Nut
wood is knocked out ot time before a
selection is made I feel confident that I
General Lawtou will be pit p m *•
