Among the visitors in town on Tur day was our old LaGrange friend, J. E. Morgan, now of Adairs vi lie, where he owns a beautiful home and a splendid farm. We hope the people of his town will ap preciate such an addition to their - ciety as Mr. Morgan and his amia ble wife. “Leap Year!” said he as he threw himself indolently upon the lounge, “Oh, don’t I was a pretty, fascinating stunner of a girl / I’d have all my clothes cut after the “Domestic Fash ions” and just heap the style on. And wouldn’t I pile on the duds and ivear a big bustle! Oh no. HI! OUCH !” and just here his father, as he led him out by the ear, said, “Young man, if you don’t climb oiit’n t'nis and make a big bustle in tiie neighborhood of that wood pile I’ll fix you so’s you couldn’t wear a bustle for a month,” NOTICE TO CANDIDATES.

He was 74 years of age, and was one of the oldest citizens of our country. Thus one by one the patriots of the land depart. Mr. Bogle was a good citi zen and there are many who deplore his departure. Peace to his ashes. PLATFORM. We, the delegates of the Democrat ic party of the United States in National Convention assembled, do hereby declare the administration of immediate reform, and do hereby en join upon the nominees of this con vention and of the Democratic party in each State, a zealous effort and co operation to this end, and do hereby appeal to our fellow-citizens of every former political connection to under take with us thisfirst and most press ing patriotic duty. For the Democracy of the whole country we do here reaffirm our faith in the permanence of the Federal Union, our devotion to the Constitu tion of the United States, with its a mend men s universally accepted as a final settlement of the controversies engendered civil war. We do here record our steadfast confidence in the perpetuity of re publican self-government; in abso lute acquiescence in the will of the majority, the vital principle of Re publics; in the supremacy of the civil over the military authority; in the total separation of Church and State for the sake ‘alike of civil and relig ious freedom ; in the equality of all citizens before just laws of their own enactment; in the liberty of indi ual conduct unvexed by sumtuary laws; in the faithful education of the rising gonvrAtion, that they Hilly preserve, enjoy and transmit these conditions of human happiness and hope, we behold the noblest products of a hundred years of changeful his tory, hut while upholding the bond of our Union and great charter of these our rights, it behooves a free people to practice also that eternal vigilance which is the price of liber ty. Reform is necessary to rebuild and establish in the hearts of the whole people the Union, eleven years ago happily rescued from the danger of a corrupt, centralism, which, after indicting upon ten States the repaci ty of carpet-bag tyranny, has honey combed the offices of the Federal Government itself with incapacity waste and fraud, infected States and municipalities with the contagion of misrule and locked'fast the prosperi ty of an industrious people in the paralysis of hard times. Reform is necessary to establish a sound cur rency. restore the public credit and maintain the national honor. We denounce the la.ilure for all these eleven years + o make good the promise of the legal tender notes which are. a changing standard of value in the hands of the people and the non-payment of which is apledge of the plighted faith of the nation. We denounce the improvidence which in eleven years of peace, has taken from the people in Federal taxes thirteen times the whole amount of the legal tender notes,and squandered four times this sum in useless expense, without accumula ting any reserve for their redemp tion. We denounce the financial im becility and immorality of that party which during eleven years of peace, lias made no advance towards re sumption, no preparation for resump tion, hut instead has obstructed re sumption by wasting our resources and exhausting all our surplus in come, and while annually professing to intend a speedy return to specie payments, nub a.,.Riuu i j v.nt.-i. hindrance thereto. We denounce the resumption clause of the act of 1875, and we demand its repeal. We demand a judicious sys tem of preparation by public econo mies by official retrenchments and by wise finance, which shall enable the nation soon to assure the whole world ofits perfect ability and its perfect readiness to meet.jany“ofj its promises at the call of the creditors entitled to payment. We believe such a system well de vised, and above all, entrusted to competent hands for its execution, creating at no timean artificial scarci ty of currency, and at no time alarm ing the public mind into a with drawal of that vaster machinery of credit by which 95 per cent (if all business transactions are perform ed. A system open to the public and inspiring general confidence, it would from the day of its adoption bring healing on its wings toall our har rowed industries, set in motion the wheels of commerce, manufactures, and the mechanical arts, restore em ployment to labor and renew in all its national source the prosperity of the people. Reform is necessary in the sum and mode of Federal taxation to the end that capital may be set free from distrust and labor lightly bur dened. We denounce the present tank lev ied upon nearly four thousand arti cles as a master-piece of injustice, in equality and false pretense. It yields a dwindling, not a rising revenue. It has impoverished many indus tries to subsidize a few. It prohibits imports that might purchase the pro duets of American labor. It ha" de graded American commerce from the first to an inferior rank upon the | high seas. It has cut down the sales | of American manufactures at home j and abroad and depleted the returns I of American agriculture and industry followed by 'half our \ topic. It costs the people five times more than it |.r.Tr:Vi-sri- tn Tire- TrraSJiy, mrSi rrtOtS ' the process of production, and wastes the fruit of labor. It promotes fraud fosters, smuggling, enriches dishon est official *nu<J bankrupts hoqest merchants, We demand that all custom house taxation shall be only for revenue. Reform is necessary in the scale of public expense, Federal State and municipal. Our Federal taxation lias swollen from sixty millions gold In 1800 to four hundred and fifty millions currency in 1870, and our aggregate taxation from one hundred and fifty-four millions gold in 1860 to seven hundred and thirty mi'lions currency in 1870, or in one decade from less than $5 per head to more than §lB per head. Since peace the people have paid their tax-gath erers more than thrice the sum of the National debt and more than twice that sum for the Federal Gov ernment alone. We demand a vigorous frugality in every department, and from every officer oi’the Government. Reform is necessary to put a stop to the profligate waste of public lands and their diveision from actual set tlers by the party in power, which sqandered 200,000,000 of acres upon rail roads alone, and out of more than thrice that aggregate has disposed of less than a six directly to tillers of the soil. •Reform is necessary to correct the omissions of a Republican Congress and errors of our treaties and our diplomacy, which have stripped our fellow-citizens of foreign birth and kindred race recrossing the Atlantic of the shield of American cirizen- J ship and have exposed our brethren of the Pacific coast to the incursions j out race not sprung from the same parent stock, and in fact now by law denied citizenship. Though natu ralization, is being neither accus tomed to the traditions of a progres sive civilization nor exercised in lib erty under equal laws, we denounce the policy, which thus discards the liberty-loving German and tolerates the renewal of the Coolie, the trade in Mongolian women imported for immotral purposes, and Mongolian men held to perform servile labor contracts, and we demand such modification of the treaty with the Chinese Empire, or such legislation by Congress, within constitutional limits, as shall prevent further im portation or immigration of the Mongolian race. Reform is necessary and can never he effected but by making it the con trolling issue of the elections and lifting it above the two false issues with which the office-holding class and party in power seek to smother it. The false issue with which they could enkindle sectarian strife in res pect to the public schools, of which the establishment and support be long exclusively to the several States and which the Democratic party has cherished from their foundation and is resolved to maintain without partiality or creed, and without con tributing from the Treasury to any false issue by which they seek to anew the dying embers of sectional hut© between kindred people once unnaturally estranged, hut now re united in one indivisible republic and a common destiny. Reform is necessary in the civil service. Experience proves that an efficient and economical conduct of the governmental business is not pos sible if its civil service he subject to change at every election, and be a prize fought for at the ballot-box, he a brief reward of party zeal instead of posts of honor assigned for proved competency and held for fidelity in the public employ); that the dispens ing of patronage should neither he a tax upon the time of all our public men, iiur the instrument of their am bition. Here again professions falsi fied in the performance attest that the party in power can work out no prac tical or salutary reform. Reform is necessary even more in the higher grades of public service. The President, Vice-President, Judg es, Senators, Representatives, Cabi net officers—these and all others in authority are the people’s servants; their offices are not a pre requisite, they are a public trust. When the annals of the public records show the disgrace and censure of a Vice-Presi dent, a late Speaker of the House of Representatives, is mar keting his rulings as a presiding offi cer; three Senators profiting secretly by their votes as law-makers; five chairmen of leading committees of the late House of Representatives exposed in jobbery; a late Secretary of the Treasury for forcing a balance in the public accounts; a late Attor ney General misappropriating public funds; a Secretary of the Navy en riched or enriching friends by per centages levied off the profits of con tractors with his Department; an Embassador to England censured in a dishonorable speculation ; the Pres ident’s private secretary barely es caping conviction upon trial for guilty complicity in frauds upon the revenue; a Secretary of War im peached for high crimes and eon- The demonstration is complete that the first step in reform must be the people’s choice of honest men from another party, leit the disease of one political organization infest the body politic, and lest, by mak ing no change of men or party, we ’can get no change of measures and reform. All these abuses, wrongs and crimes, the product of sixteen years ascendancy of the Republican party, create a necessity for reform, confessed by Republicans themselves, but their reformers are voted down in convention and displaced from the Cabinet. The party’s mass of honest voters is powerles to resist thp eighty thousand officeholders. Its leaders and guides can only be held, by a peaceful civic revolution. We demand a change of the sys. tern, a change of the administration, a change ot parties, that we may have a change of members and of men. Mr. Dorsheimer I will say that at the end of the resolution relating to the matter ol Mongolian importation there were two or throe lines of lan guage adopted by the Committee which were written with a lead pen cil and which I was unable to read, and the Secretary, when l have clos ed, will supply the omission. Mr. Brown, of Oregon.—We want it read now, Mr. President. lam on that Committee myself, and I de mand that it shall be read in con junction with the other. [Cries of no, no.] Mr. Dorsheimer—Your committee have had also referred to them and recommend the adoption of the fol lowing resolutions: .Resolved, That this convention, representing the Democracy of the United Slates, do cordially indorse the action of the present House of Representatives [applause] in redue- j ing and curtailing the expenses of 1 the Federal Government, in cutting down salaries, extravagant appro- i piiations, and in abcfibUing useless offices gj.d pi aces not required bv , i n*■;; *in -.-ilk-, pud we shall trust to the firmness of the Democratic members of the House, that no com mittee nor conference misinterpreta tion of the rules will be allowed to defeat the wholesome measures of economy demanded by the country. [Applause.] Resolved, That the sailors and sol diers of the Republic, and the wid ows and orphans of those who have fallen in battle, have a just claim upon the care, protection and grati tude of their fellow-citizens. [Ap plause.] Gov. Dorsheimer—The resolution closes as follows: We denounce the policy which thus discards liberty loving Germans and tolerates a re vival of the Cooley trade in Mongo lian women imported for immoral purposes and Mongolian men to hold servile labor contracts, and we de mand such a modification of the treaty with the Chinese empir or such legislation within constitutional limitations as shall prevent further importation or immigration of Mon ! golians, [Applause.] Gen. Ewing, of Onio—At the re quest of several members of the I Committee on Resolutions, I present a minority report as to one phrase of the platform. Hersehel V. Johnson received not | only the praise of Glascock and the endorsement of Calhoun, but time and again the confidence of his fellow citizens. He has n ?ver forfeited h[s j right to the praise, the endorsement, or the confidence. The lawyer and the statesmen are gone, but "the peo ple are here to renew that confi dence, and make him once more the Governor of Georgia. —Chronicle and i Sentinel, CAIITERSYILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 6, 1576. Johnson Pungents. Hon H V. Johnson’s strength lies in the warm affections of the people of Georgia, and you'd as well try to demolish Gibraltar’s rock with a broom straw, as to try to hurt the old man in the eyes of the people.— Waynesboro ’ Expositor. The correspondence removes all doubt as to his acceptance of the nomination, and despite the partizan efforts of newspapers and individuals to injnre the authors of the circular and the fair fame of Governor John son, we believe that the people of Georgia will on the second of next of August in convention spontaneously and unanimously nominate him for Governoi, and elect him without op position.—lrwinton Southerner. For State as well as National offices the best and truest men should be chosen. Hersehel V. Johnson has often been tried in the balance and never found wanting. Whenever his State has demanded his services they have been cheerfully and readi ly given—and always with honor to her and credit to himself. Let her again command them now, as her Governor, and she will never regret the new trust thus placed in her honored son.— Chronicle and Sentinel. Gov. Johnson’s reply is character istic of the man, and while he dis tinctly states that he does not want the office apd will not consent to be come a candidate for it, he intimates that, as a Georgian he is ready to do any patriotic work the people may require of him. This is all the peo p e want, and in our opinion, it will bean easy matter for them to decide when they meet in convention on the second of August, who they pre fer for their next Governor. Candi dates for the position had better be prepared for disappointment.—Quit man Reporter. The Democratic Party.— Hon, Hersehel V. Johnson, some years ago, said : “The Democratic party of Georgia is no sectional organization formed merely to obtain power by the concealment of principles on the one hand and on the other by pre senting issues to the country which have been settled. It is an integral part of the National Democracy. * * * * It standssolmnly pledged to maintain the rights of the States and the integrity of the Union.” Words of truth and wisdom—as true and wise to day spoken by Georgia’s honored son.— Chronicle and Sentinel. A Flower that Changes its Color. Botany is a division of natural sci ence which treats of plants, and a study of Vegetable Phisiology must be the foundation of botanical knowledge—a study only possible by the improvements in the microscope and in organic chemistry. As plants are not scattered haphazard over the earth, botanical geography must be studied,and, with this, plant-history. Botany may be applied to the wants of every-day life, as in Agriculture Horticulture, or Medical Botany, Animals often exhibit a marvelous instinct in selecting medicinal herbs, and an observation of their habits lias often even in the present time, led to most valuable discoveries. And should man, with his knowl edge and appliances, fail to discover iess than the orute? It is of Medi cal Botany we wouw >* ~r HEPATINE PLANT, discovered in Southern Nubia, the flower of which changes its color with every change of tne atmosphere. The remarkable changes and variations of this Plant and Flower have been for years our special study, resulting in the discov ery of its possession of wonderful medical properties, the existence and value of which have heretofore been entirely unknown to medical science. After much labor and scientific inves tigation, we have succeeded in ex tracting its peculiar medicinal prin ciples, which is a specific and cure for all diseases of the Liver, Stomach, and Bowels; a permanent cure for Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Spleen, Con stipation, Jaundice, and all Bilious Complaints. Of course we cannot send a living Flower of this Plant to all vi ho read of Hepatine; but to all who will send their address to Mor rell & Coudon, Philadelphia, Pa., with a three cent stamp for return postage, we will send free a fae-simi le of the Flower, that will change its color just the same as the real Hepa tine Flower.

The National democratic Party will this rear make a bob’, vigorous, and doubtless successful struggle for the maintenance and supremacy ol tho*: principles which are vital to the prosperity of the uublic, and essential to the weli-be-’ng of the people. In addition to the Presidential election, the people in Georgia and Florida will elect new State Governments. In Florida the campaign promises to be unusnflOly vigorous, and there is a .probability that for the lirst time since the w*r, the people of that Radical-ridden State will elect a Democratic State Government. In these campaigns the people are deeply inter ested; and every intelligent citizen, who has the welfare ol his country and liis section at heart, should acquaint himself with every de tail of redemption and leform that is now going on. To this end he should subscribe to and a-sist in circulating the Savannah Morning News, an independent Democratic newspaper, of pronounced opinions and tearless in their ex pression; a paper that is recognized every where as the best daily in the South. Its edi torial department is vigorous, thoughtful and consistent, while its news and local depart ments are marvels of industry and complete ness. Its department of Georgia and Florida affairs is not conlined to a mere barren sum mary of events transpiring in those States, but is enlivened by comment at once apt, timely and racy. The ample resources of the establishment will be devoted to furnishing the readers of the MORNING NEWS with the latest intelligence from all parts of the w orld, through the press dispatches, spe cial dispatches, special correspondence; and through these agencies, the paper will be the earliest, chronicler of every noteworthy inci dent of the political campaign of 1876.
