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. Special Notices. COLONISTS, to!II.RANTS AND TRAVELERS WESTWARD.
