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 the Markham we met Senator T. M, Norwood, Col. A. 11. Simms of Covmcton, Mr. J. M. 1 ui ner of Monroe, and others. Now for the Flag and speech. Mayor C. C. Hammock in a tew appropriate re. minks introduced the speaker. 1 lie Mil itary and Fire Companies of the City were out, and a portion of the U. S. troops from McPherson’s Barracks. A fine band discoursed sweet music. The ! speaker i-aid a glowing tribute to Dr. Win, 11.. White, which we publish in (till : 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.

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 *• stead, i- rom tnift array of candidates it will be stun that the Legislature ha* a fine field from which to choose and that the State cannot b: injured noSbaitci w'lmt the esnll. i cltox.

Too pioceedings will be found on onr first page. All the coun ties in the District were represented ex eept Twiggs, which had declared for Mr Blount.
