The €tate Executive Committee.
At the meeting of the State Exec
utive Committee recently held in At
lanta, General A. It. Lawton, of
Chatham, was chosen to fill the va
cancy existing in the National Exec
tive Committee. The following res
olutions were adopted:
Resolved , That a Convention of
Congressional Districts be called by
the Executive Committee of each
District on Wednesday, the 26th day
of April, at such places as each Dis
trict Committee shall select, to nomi
nate two delegates and two alternates
each to the National Democratic
Convention, and that said District
Conventions nominate four names as
delegates at large; and if the said
District Conventions shall fail to
agiee in the selection of the same
four delegates at large, they shall
empower the State Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee .to select from the
names nominated four delegates for
the State at largefrom all the names
designated.
lt was moved and carried that the
Chairman call a meeting of the com
mittee the week after the assemblage
of the National Democratic Conven
tion to arrange for a State Convention
elect Presidential Electors and nomi
nate a candidate for Governor.
The-e were present at this meeting
only ten delegates: Thos. Hardeman
J. H. Christy, 11. G. Turner, T. M.
Furlow. Augustus Reese, Geo. R.
Black Freeman, L. N. Trammell,
Estes and I. W. Avery. J. S.
Boynton and Warren Akin were rep
resented by proxy. The selection of
Gen. Lawton will doubtless be satis
factory.
The sharp practice of Congression
make capital out of the number fo
private bills introduced in the pres
ent Congress will lie fully vend ated
by Mr. Eden, of Illinois, Chairman
of the War Claims Committee, to
which nearly all the private bills have
been referred. Eden will show that
the number of private bills thus far
introduced and the amounts propos
ed to be appropriated by them are
less in this than in any of the prece
ding Republican Congress.
The Dahlonega Slgnyl regrets that
bills have even be*m introduced to
abolish the geological bureau. the
department of agriculture and the
state board of health. It considers
these the greatest features of the
State, and hopes the repealing bill
will be promptly voted down.
Patrick Donahue, publisher of the
Boston Pilot , has failed. The lia
bilities are considerably more than
the assets.
