THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: NOVEMBER 20, 1877 7 Convention at Social Circle. Social Circle, Not. 9th, 1877. The Senatorial Convention of the —7th District, convened this morning at 11 o’clock, a. M. Jmlgc W.S. Montgomery, of New ton county, was called to the chair, and presided over the deliberations of the Convention. G. C. Thomas, of Oconee, was elec ted Secretary. The Convention being regularly organized, the Chairman stated the object of the meeting, and then called for the'roll of the delegates. The roll being called it appears that the delegates were from Walton—G. C. Sillman, W. II. Hill. From Clarke—L.W. Stephens, A. S. Dorsey. Represented by alternate Joe Barry. From Oconee—G. C. Thomas, J. W. Lea. From Rockdale—Elias Wooly, B. N. Baker. From Newton—Mansell Glass, E. F. Edwards, S. W. Hawkins, W. S. Montgomery. All of whom being present, the Chairman announced that the Con vention was ready for business. On motion the two-third rule was unanimously adopted. Mr. Wooly, from Rockdale, made a few remarks in reference to electing a Senator from Rockdale county, claiming by the method of rotation that Rockdale was entitled to it. After a tedious debate by Messrs. Wooly, Sillman, Hill and others, by vote of the Convention, it was conceded that the Senator now nominated was for an unexpired term, caused by opera tion of law, and that the question of rotation of counties could not prop erly come before this Convention ; as soon as this question was so decided, Mr. 1). N. Baker, very abruptly left the Convention. On motion of G. C. Sillman the delegates hound them selves to abide the result of the Con vention. When this motion was put ^before the Convention to be acted •»on Mr. Elias Wooly, the last rein- nt of the delegation from Rockdale, k bis recently purchased bearer, d apparently in great baste took french leave ot the Convention, in sisting that the Georgia Legislature absolutely needed a (Stuard.) The Convention being reduced now to ten in number, it proceeded to elect a candidate for the State Srnate of the 27th Senatorial District, which resulted in the election of the Hon. Henry McDaniel of Walton. On motion a committee of three was appointed by the Chairman to in form Mr. McDaniel of the selection of himself as a candidate to represent us in the Senate, composed of E. F. Ed wards of Newton, .Too Barry of Clarke and G. C. Thomas, of Oco nee. The following resolution was now offered by Col. Edwards. Be it resolved, by the people of the 27th Senatorial District of Georgia in Convention assembled, that it is the sense and desire of this Convention, that the Hon. John B. Gordon, shall be his own successor in the Senate of the United States, and when that question shall bo submitted to the Legislature of Georgia, we hereby earnestly desire onr nominee, if elec- ted, to cast bis ballot for that gentle man as long as there is any chance for his election, and to use every available means, consistent with duty to secure the re-election of Senator Gordon, which was unanimously ad opted. It was, on motion, ordered that the minutes ot the Convention be furnished each newspaper in the dis* trict, with request that they be pub- Being no further business before the Couvention it adjourned aine die. G. C. Thomas, Secretary. —Sir Robert Walpole was the only «• >i unoner who, in modem days, has Knight of the Garter, and his possession of this honor evidently excited (although he was a Prime Minister) much bitter comment. A writer, in 1719, says: “ A late enor mous commoner, in the wantonness of bis power and contempt of the nobility, obtruded himself into the oi dee. ” The Garter was offered to Sir Robert Peel, but declined. Lord Palmerston, an Irish peer only, had it: Lord Russell had it, and perhaps Lord Beaconsfield intends to have it. Tumpnis A Noted Divine says They are worth their weight in gold.
