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- Fuurth District: Hon Obaulsh Warse , of Meriwether. Hon. Mark H. Blanford, of Muscogee. Alternates- -B. C. Ferrell and Major E. W. Miller, of Maricn. Fifth District: Hon E. P.

Hutchins of Gwinnett. The u1k»vc delegation goes to St. Louis absolutely untrammelled with instructions, and the champions of no particular aspirant. No doubt the entire delegation will favor that good, honest and true Democrat who, when all the fiicts and figures are summed up, can make the best showing for success in the approaching fall election. KELLEY’S KBEWE. They Come to tJrief. Charles Kelley Mortally Wounded, In the last issue of the Georgian, we- ftili; wed up the short notices which, from 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 strength of bis electi in n ipreceden ud in the history of our Gubcrua orial Campaigns. Proceedings of t.io U.s.riels Convention. The Convention of the Democratic patty to send delegates to toe Nat'onal Democrat* Convention, assembled in Gainesville on Wednesday, April 20. Oa motion, Hon. A. D Chandler was called to the clmir, mid Hon. T. M. Peeples requested to act as secretary. fhe roll ot counties was called, and the billowing delegates responded to their names ; Banks—Hon. J. J. Turnbull, Enoch An derson and K. L. Hooper. Clarke—II. H. Carlton and Col. John H. Christy. Dawson—John Ilockenbull and D. J. Burt. Forsyth—Hon. C. McAfee, lion. R. A. Enkes and Oliver Clarke. Franklin—Col. J. S. Dortch. Gwiuiieit—Hon. T. M. Peeples, J.

Martin. Madist n—John N. Montgomery. Morgan—D. M. Vining and A. D. Atkinson. Union—J. E. Red wine and Hon. A. D. Chandler, proxies. It was agreed that the basis of representa tion in the Convention should tie ns toltows: Counties having two representatives iu the 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. DELHI A TES TO THEN 7IONAL DEHt'- VRATIC C'U VESTIO The election of delegates to ihe St. Louis Convention, as made by the respective Con gressional Districts on la.-t Wednesday, re sulted as follows: For the State ut Large: Gov James M. Smith, of Muscogee. Hon. George T. Barnes, of Richmond. Hon. John W. Wofford, of Bartow. Hon. Rufus E. Lester, of Chatham. The aliove ticket though declared for by a majority in seven out of nine districts, was closely contested in most of the districts; oth er prominent gentlemen receiving a most flattering minority vote. This result ot coune. leaves it only for the Executive Com- tnittfce to select alternates The expression a» to alternates, by the different districts, was wide aud various, no two centering upon the same names. First District: Hon. John C. Nichols, of Pierce. Hon. John J. Jones, of Burke. "Alternates—-John B. Habersham, of Glynn; J. C. Deli, of 8creven. Second District: Hon H. G. Turner, of Brooks. Hon. E.

Warwick. t sou.* to represent the State at large iu the St. Louis Convention. Col. Robert White offered as a substitute, a resolution providing for the eieciion of the delegates by the Convention, without submit ling the question to a committee. The sub stitute was hist and the original resolution adopted. The chair appointed Turnbull, chairman: Carlton, llockeiiliull, Thompson, Lakes, Dortch, Peeples. Prather, Martin, White, Montgomery, Vining, Kcdwiue. 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.
