o'clock a. v. for the purpose of selecting
delegates to the State gubernatorial con-
vention which convenes in Atlanta the 2nd

by' presenting the name ^of Governor
Rutherford, B. Hsjfe of Offio as Republi
can nominee for the presidency and that of
Wm. A. Wheeler of New York for the

the seventh ballot, and was quite as much a
surprise to the nation as it \va- doubtless to
the numerous over anxious candidales.

strength for Hayes, and thus visited upon

In response* to a letter signed by several
citizens of .Augusta begging Governor
Johnson.to.be “ borne into the office of the
Governor of Georgia by the spontaneous,
unsolicited movement of the people of Geor
gia?’ that venerable statesman has declared
bis sentiments in a most becoming manner.
He distinctly states that he has no aspirations
for the office, does not covet the honor and
Irankly confesses that he will not court the
responsibilities of the text executive term.
The enthusiastic but too importunate friends
of Go>’. Johnson, have placed the matter
hosrever in the light of a duty which that
noble old man is reminded he owes to his
State. They represent the party as torn by
opposing factions, controlled by personal am
bition, and call piteously upon Gov. Johnson
to save the Stale by consenting to become
the tool of this patriotic spontaniety. This
idea however, is evidently scouted by the
sensible ex-Govemor who expresses his wish
that of the many eminent citizens some one
well qualified for. the position be chosen; and
when the friends of Gov. Johnson imply by
their words that either Colquitt, Hardeman
cr James would rend the party veil in
twain by being nominated or fail to fill the
executive Chair if elected, they are simply
dealing in the sliadow of speech without any
substance to substantiate their sentiments.
Governor Johnson certainly, has the sympa
thies of our people, as he now seems likely to
be forced into a heated campaign from whose
turmoil and strife he naturally shrinks aud the
emoluments’of whoseoffice he does not desire,
by his friends who place it upon the grouud
of an imaginary duty to the people of Georgia
which the conscientious old man is loath to ig
nore. In the name Gentleman, of tlie honored 1
services which in his palmy days our venera
ble father has given to the people, in the
name of his hoary hairs bleached under the
many vicissitudes of an already prolonged
public career, do not drag him from that
seclusion so conducive to hi9 present
tastes. Allow him at least, to remain in the
solitude of his own grandeur, and even as his
former years have been those of usefulness,
let his lest days be those of peace.

publican party, doubtless the selection of
this ticket will prove a blessing to the
American people, since these men stand so
far above the average Republican as men
of national regard rather than of party
prejudices aud sectional hate. This result
though is hardly probable, and with a wise
course on the part of the St. Louis Con
vention in selecting the Democratic nomi
nee is hardly possible.
Hayes and Wheeler are lioth “hard
money” men of the most pronounced type,
and of course, will meet with a inos; stub
born opposition from the “soft money” in
flciice of the West. This faet makes it
hardly probable that Ilayes will carry his
native State, as well as other States of the
West. Wt.ile in the East, his “hard cur
rency’’ position will give him no advantage
over a Democratic nominee occupying the
same financial platform.
It) this view of the situation, would not
a Democratic nominee of such conservatism
on the money question as would be objec
tionable to neither the “ hard money” men
of the East or the “ soft money’’ men of
the West, prove a candidate of such un
questionable availability as to make Demo
cratic success a certainty in the presidential
contest ?
A Suggestion.—As the demise of Mr.
W. Center, one of our most worthy
and highly esteemed citizens, and one
of the most active and raluable mem
bers of the Board of Directors of the
Northeastern Railroad, leaves a vacancy iu
that body, we respectfully submit the follow-
ing suggestion. As the City of Athens has
very large interest iu this Road, one which
must necessarily concern every tax-paver,
would it not be well and wise to fill this
vacancy with some one, who shall directly
repieseutthecorporation in the Board and be
known as the City Director ? We would not
be understood as even intimating ttiat, the
city’s interest is not justly and fairly pro
tected in the Board. Indeed, as it now hap
pens, the present Mayor and two of the
Cnuncilmcn are members thereof, thus,
giving the city’s interest as it would appear a
most liberal representation, but this is a
mere accident, and may not so remain or
happeu in the future, and furthermore they
are uot there as representative on the part of
the city. It occurs to us that if this sug
gestion was acted upon, a renewed interest
the part of our tax-payers might be
hoped therefrom, a result most devoutly to
be wished for.

The Cincinnati Platform.
Tlie committee on resolutions, through its
chairman Gen. Hawley of Connecticut, sub
mitted a platform, whicli after some debate
was adopted. It is so elaborate a document
that we can only present a synovia thereof
It sets out with a history of the party and
statements of its duty to protect tho rights
of all the people and the enforcement of
the constitutional amendments. Congra
tulates tlie party over the salvation of tlie
country, and declares the Union a nation
and not a league. Recommends a speedy
resumption of specie paj meats. Opposes all
appropriations to sectarian schools. Op
poses the further grant of lands to cor
porations and monopolies. Favors the pro
tection of immigration, aud suggest the
trial of Mongolian immigration on moral
and political grounds. Favors respectful
consideration of woman’s claim to partici
pation in tho Government Strikes a blow
at polygamy. Urges the fulfillment of pledges
to sailors and soldiers. Deprecates sec
tional strife, professing deep solicitude that
the Democratic party counts as its clue
hope of success, the electoral vote of
united South, secured til rough the effort ot
those who were recently arrayed against the
nation, and invoke the earnest attention of
the country to the grave fact. Arraigns
the Democratic party as the same iu charac
ter and spirit now as when sympathised
and allied to treason, and accuses it of be
ing unworthy and incapable. Finally it
retires Grant upon the gratitude of the
people for bis patriotism and services.
This platform is a most remarkable docu
ment. a careful reading of which leads to
the conclusion, that never before in the his
tory of political productions was there unci
moral exterior given to corrupt and partisan
design As a whited sepulchnre, full of
that rotteness which is typefied by the cry
of “blood shirt,” it stands before th
nation as a true index of that unscropul
ousness with which the Republican party
proposes presidential success.

THE GREAT TURKISH B ARBEIT SHOP!
Ho! for the Mineral Spring.—The
number of daily visitors to the lately dis
covered miner! spring, is wonderful. The
number is variously estimated between tme and
our thousand persons per day. The visitors
are not by any means confined to Athens,
but quite a number are seeking this water
from th6 surrounding country. Many are
sending for or carrying it to their homes
bottles and jugs. To such we
would suggest, that they provide themselves
with closely stopped vessels. The iron and
other valuable constituents of this water are
held in solution by Carbonic acid, and if the
vessels Are not closely stopped of course this
acid escapes and the iron aud other ingredi
ents are deposited, when the water will
proove profitless as a remedial or medicinal
agent. When and where it can be done,
the water should be drunk fresh from the
spring, it will prove much more beneficial.
Again, laige draughts of this or any mineral
water are nut calculated to benefit so much;
as when taken in moderate quantities.
[Editorial Correspondence.
Hart and Elbert.
Leaving Athens Monday morning, 5thJ
[inst., your conesnondent, in company with
Gen. A. H. Colquitt, weuded bra way
towards Hartwell Ga. Passing through
Madison and a portion of Hart counties,
we found nearly all the farmers busily en
gaged iu harvesting wheat which, io some local
ities, seems to have been more injured by the fly
than by the rust, as was first supposed.
Iu-as-much, however, as a large area has
been planted, we apprehend that an average
crop may be looked for; much oats, likewise,
have been sown and the cotton and
corn, while healthy and vigorous, are some
what backward. More grain and less cotton,
it is said, has been planted tlrau any year
since the war. Arriving at Hartwell about
dusk, we were cordially received and hospit
ably entertained by Maj. Hodges, one of the
sterling citizens of the town Greeted next
morning by one of the largest assemblies we
have ever seen at a similar meeting, Gen.
Colquitt addressed the dtixens of the county,
forcibly delivering some potent aud practical
truths, upon tbeir agricultural invests.
This meeting was called for the purpose of
re-organizing the Democracy of tlie county,
I and we were, glad to, see that the people of
old Hart so. fully appreciated the impor
tance of attending their primary meetings
■w well .as gratified at their avowed m en
tion to adhere to party ^organization. Get.
Colquitt was. well 1 received by the citizens,
than whom no more Industrious or inu-Ui-
_reut people exist anywhere in our State
The prevailing impression seems to be that
Colquitt is tbe man for Governor.
HARTWELL
Gives evidences of prosperity, the only
thing befog nee led is au outlet for their
produce. The Savannah river whicli is six
miles distant is not navigable to any great
extent on account of the shoals. But it
seems that a beautiful ridge fur a narrow
gauge railroad, extends from Hartwell to
roceoa city a distance of thirty miles, with
■i grade of not more than ten feet the whole
distance. This road could be constructed
an 1 equipped at an expense of $7000 per
mile.
The school at Hartwell, under tlie direo-
The is a little goober patch somewhere
down in the piney woods of Georgia called
Columbia county. A few days ago two or
three of its grabbers got together and adopt
ed a string of resolutions favoring Colquitt
for Governor.—Rome .Courier.
Quite true. Columbia is for Colquitt, and
tbe beauty is that these little “ goohe.
patches” are scattered throughout the State
crops looking finely with flattering evidences
of an abundant yield.
The indications are that Hon. Alexander
H Stephens will be returned to Congress
from this section without having any op|Kts:-
position, either in the Convention or at the
polls. His health is improving rapidly and
we hope to hear of him in his seat liefore Con
gress adjourns.— Chronicle and Sentinel.
Events which ate daily transpiring, says
the Chronicle and Sentinel, as well as those
of recent occurrence, arc awaking a new in
terest in the Augusta aud Hartwell Railroad,
which was so tbrou ghly discussed a few years
ago. i* ,, v d» X .. v
The Atlanta Times says that the Centen
nial is indeed a grand aflair. It is thedviliz-
ed world on exhibition—presenting the finest
and fairest specimens of its natural and artis
tic wealth. We doubt whether a twelve
month rtw around the globe would so well
repay the traveler in the way of informing
his mind aud delighting his fancy and eleva
ting his tastes, as one month’s sojourn at
Philadelphia. It is all a bugbear as to the
cost of making the trip. Charges are no
higher for board and lodging there than in
Washington or New York.
...The. .Covington Star thinks that, the
sfcoud of August is early enough for hold
ing the convention. It was right to put it
off, too, as long as possible in order to pre
vent anything like organized action ou the
part, of defeated candidates'who may wish
to riln independently. It will also prevent
the reptiblicau party from organizing any
thing like a successful opposition to the;.dem
ocratic nominee, while it will give the people
ample time to choose their delegates to send
up to the State convention without any un
due haste.
Only one objection to the second of Au
gust, brother Anderson; it will interfere
with the University Commencement.
Not Much.—Speaking of Mr. Blaine, the
Philadelphia fQmea s tys: “ He has out
generaled every Democratic leader, and
worsted every champion that wrestled with
him iu single combat ” If ever a man was
floored in a wrestle, that man was Jim
Blaine, in his controversies With Tucker
an 1 Lamar. The Maine man is a splendid
debater and an audacious speaker, but ~
woke up the wrong passenger when he
tackled Messrs. Tucker and Lamar.—Con
stitutionalist.
Quite right. Col., and when this doughty
statesman tried to santplo the skirts of Ben.
Hill, he likewise, found out that,ho hajd

A special telegram to the Augusta CW
stihUionalist front Columbus under date of
the I2lh, gives the particulars of a most
heart-rending occurrence. Miss Lily Har
rison, daughter of Rev. Dr. W. P. Hnrrisoni
the eminent JMcthodist^ minister of Atlanta,
jumped into'* the river rapids,at that place
on the .• day ment oned, aud was drowned.
It was a deliberate and premeditated act,
and was witnessed by persons who were ou
and near the river. Her body did not rise,
and has no't yet been recovered. No cause
is known, but depression of spirits uad boen
observed. The affair has created much re
gret, and aroused dcep.syinpathy. Slio left
a carriage which stopped near the river,
went quickly to the stream, ran ont upon a
rock and jumped into a current iti which
tho best swimmer could hardly, have .saved
