PRESIDENTIAL REELED lOSS OF THE
NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
The New York Tribune of the 25tli, ult,
in an editorial on “ the Democratic Can
didate ” for the Presidency evidently seeks
to frighten the St. Louis Convention into
nominating Mr. Tildcn, by attempting to
reflect the Democratic party in a most un
favorable light. It says, “alter he Demo
cratic victories which brought into being
the present Congress, there was not only
great confidence on the part of the Demo
cracy that the tidal wave would roll beyond
the Prcsidcntal election and place the
Government in their hands, but there w.-is
a corresponding despondency on the part
of the Republicans which approached utter
discouragement. Tiiat there has been a
very positive change in public opinion since
then is too plain to need argument. The
talk of the people, the tone of the press,
and, mure couviciug stili, the tables ot
election returns, all attest it. For this
change of sentiment the Democrats have
only themselves to thank.” The Tribune
then goes on to ascribe this change to no.
only a want of proper use by the Demo
crats of their successc of eighteen months
ago, but to such violation of trust imposed,
such headstrong partisanship, such insane
greed of office, such lack of capacity and
fitness, such merely pretendeu desire for
rclbriu and purity in the Go eminent
"besides all of which the worst things they
ever charged upon the opposition seem repu
table, wise and honest.” Thus, having present
ed the Denme.acy.the Tribune thinks tf at the
only means ol restoring confidence, >f secur
ing slice-,-s. ol recov« ring lost prestige, ol re
trieving blunders, ot regain.ng lust giound
and o defeating the Republican party, is for
the St. Louis Couventiun to nominate Gov.
Tildcn, and in substantiation of that view
remarks as follows : “ For notwithstanding
the outcry the party has made about politi
cal corruption and ils clamor for reform, it
happens that only one ot their couspicious
leaders has actually shown the ability, eapaci-
ny and honesty of purpose to carry out great
practical reforms in politics. Gov. Til-
den is the only prominent Democrat in the
couutry whose name has been brought for
ward for the St. Louis nomination who has
actually done anything in the way of reform.
His sincerity has lieeu attc-tcd in his great
battles with the Tammany Riug in this city
and the Canal Ring iu this State. He bus
showu his faith by his works. The country
recoguizes in him a genuine Reforim-r.
While other meu in the party have theorized
he has acted; while others have been satis
fied with denouncing the corruptions of op
ponents, he has made war upon official
crime wherever found, and never spared a
criminal o! his own party. Few men in pub
lic life have accomplished so .much and so
good svork as he. No man in his party so
throughly represents the idea of political re
form. His isthe only name that as a Demo
cratic candidate would have any serious
meaning to the people.”
It is true the Democratic party has been
guilty of errors; it is true Gov. Tilden pre-

A. If. COCHRAN,
O-AINESVUiLB, CtEO,
OEN. A. U. COijQUITT.
Having traveled around a good deal of
late, especially in tipper Georgia, we find
that Gen. Colquit'.’s chances for Governor
are steadily on the increase. Several coun
ties which have been reported as favorable
to other candidates, we find, upon closer in-
qniry, are outspoken and enthusiastic in his
nvor, and if the people will but attend the
primary meetings,, tln-so counties will
doubtless send Colquitt delegates to the
Slate Nominating C invent io : Fro n in
dications which are now voming up daily
from all pa.ts of the State, it may be set
down as a foregone conclusion that Gen.
Colquitt is to be the next Governor of Geor-
i.i; and if we arc not greatly mistaken,
the iianno.iy and auani aity ■> his nomina
tion will be unparalleled in the history of
our Gubernatorial Conventions, and the

It was agreed that the basis of representa

lower house of the Georgia Legislature, shall
be entitled to five votes, ami those having
one representative in that body, three votes,
lion. J. J. Turnbull offered the following
sents a political record, than which, there is \ resolution.
Resolved, That at a committee of one
from each county he appointed to suggest
to the Convention the names of suitanle per-
none fairer or more likely to gain the favora
ble consideration of the St Louis Conven
tion ; and it is equally true that should e be
made the standard bearer ot the party in the
Presidential campaign he would command
great strength in every section of the country,
still sve fail to see how the wholesale abuse
which the Tribune heaps u|Hin the Democrat
ic parly, holding it up in disreputable con
trast and censorious comparison with the
mort corrupt party that ever afflicted Hny
government, or its absolute and unqualified
disparagement of such patriotic, true, tried
ar.d trusty Democrats as Thurman, Bay
ard, Church, Hendricks and others, can
make Mr. Tilden any more acceptable to
the party or more likely of preferment by
~ the St. Louis Convention.

Col. Robert White offered as a substitute,

ling the question to a committee. The sub
stitute was hist and the original resolution
adopted.
The chair appointed Turnbull, chairman:

Col. Silman, then moved that the Conven
tion proceeded to ballot lor delegates to the
St. Louis Convention.
week to week, we have been giving of the
operations of the horse thieves, by an ac
count of t eir latest depredations, and of
the dispaieb received in this city from the
pursuers, that they were in on hour’s ride
of the stolen horses.
Thursday morning, a telegram was re
ceived iu our city staling that the horses
had been re-covered and Charles Kelley, the
notorious Chief of the gang, had been mor
tally wounded and captured in Alabama.
Below, we publish a detailed account of
the skirmish preceding the termination
of the affair, which cannot fail to be of in
terest to our many readers:
A Mr. Jones, living in Randolph county,
Ala., lost, Saturday night, April 22nd, by
men breaking into his house, a sack of
flour, a hat, a pair of shoes and a rifle He
at once started iu pursuit of the thieves, and
followed horses, buggy and dog tracks to
ward Wedowa x AlaT, but soon lost the trail
on account of several parties attending a
funeral in the ncigborhood covering up the
tracks.
On the ensuing onday morning, a fine
niare was brought to a blacksmith shop in
Wedovva to be shod, which circumstance, at
tracting the attention of several citizens, the
notice of the Deputy Sheriff was called to
it. This officer having questioned the boy
riding the mat e, found out that she had
bet'll brought to his father’s house by men,
two rilling in a buggy and one on horseback,
bringing also with them a gun, a hat and a
pair ot shoes, exactly corresponding to those
which Mr. Junes, of Randolph comity, had
lost, the S: turdav night* prior. The Sheriff
now went squarely to work, being con
vinced that something was wrong, and
summoning a posse of ten men, immediately
proceeded to the house at which the mare
was brought. Light men were left in am
bush, and vtvo approaching the house, found,
sure enough, that .our friends, Kelley <fc Co.,
had stopped there, and were in the field
just below the residence. Now commenced
the attack.
The entire posse advancing, were greeted
with defiant shouts, “ Come on, gentlemen,
we are ready tor you;” while the thieves
slowly retired towards the woods, endeav
oring to do so via a stump, where their
coals and pistols were concealed, bront
this stump, very fortunately, they were cut
off’, and hence, were directly forced into the
woods, not before Charles Kelley had
emptied ltis navy revolver at the posse.
Charlie must have been excited, however,
for he didn’t hurt anybody, and only had
the effect ot attracting his two bloodhounds;
which, strange to say, were at once tinned
against the owners themselves. Meantime,
the gang had fired the woods, doubtless,
to divert the attention of the purs ers,
while one man slipping back to the stump,
secured tin* pistols; not, how, ver, without
being discovered, but without being struck
by any of the -hots fired at him. The skir
mishiiig was kept up during the whole of
Monday afternoon, with lo further luck to
the jKisse than capturing two or three
horses and a mule and wounding one of the
gang, ns shown bv poo s, of b!<Jod. The
gang were splendidly armed, and equipped
with plenty of canidges, and as the posse
were fearful of running upon a lair of them
liid in the woods, they necessarily pro
ceeded very cautiously. That night, the
Deputy- Sheriff's crowd came back to
Wedown, were reinforced and returned to
watch during the night. On the following
day, Tuesday, 25th, the
SKIRMISH WAS CONTINUED,
and after fighting hotly through the under
brush and over the mountains for four or
five miles, Charles Kelley, the Chief of the
gang, and a youth of 18 or 20 years, Busbin
by name, were finally wounded, captured
and placed in sale-keeping at Wcdowa.
Ed. Kelley, however, stid fought on with
the sullen desparatiou of an Italian bandit,
and being well acquainted with the coun
try, made his way to the river, crossed at
a very dangerous place, and though late in
the evening being hotly pursued about
four miles from Blackjack Mountain, close
to tiie Georg a side, made good his escape.
The natives around and about, describe Ed.
Kelley as a tall, raw-boned man, “ who can
outrun, outswim and outjiiinp a buck.”
diaries Kelley, who was captured, owned
all up to his physician; says he killed a
man some time ago, knocked down th-
guard and escaped; precisely as stated in
the Georgian last week. Charles is shot
in seven or eight places; through the
bowels, chest, shoulders and arms, and his
physicians state that lie cannot possibly
live. Bushin’s wounds are slight, and arc
not, by any' means, dangerous. The only
property in their possession, seems to have
been a fine buggy, two blood bounds, pis
tols, Jfce.
The fighting is described by the citizens
ot Wcdowa, Ala., as being one of the hot
test they ever saw. Ujion one side, were
employed the treachery, the doggislntess
ami daring, couched iu the cringing cun-
ul .guess o outlaws and bandits, whose
only thought is to steal and plunder, whose
sole occupation is to rob and pillage a
peaceable country. Uikiii the ot.ier, wore
displayed the calmness and determination
of their resolute pursuers, the emissaries of
peace and of justice, the champions ot law
and order; which, thanks to a praiseworthy
valor aua discretion, at last triumphed over
a villainous toe.
