SAffiUEL J. T3LDEK, OF NEW YORK. GOY. TILDEN SPEAKS. The Formal Enunciation of the Voice of The People. The committee appointed i y tlie St. Louis Convention to inform Gov. Tilden and Gov. Hendricks of their nomination for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency, met in the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday. The roll call showed that every State was represented. It was the intention of the com mittee to go to Allmny by ttio y,90 {). m. train and wait upon Gov. Til den in the executive mansion. But at about two o’clock the Governor having learned that the committee preferred to meet him in New York, telegraphed that he would receive them in his mansion in the evening. The committee thereupon adjourned until 8 o’clock. At half-past 8 o’clock Gov. Tilden entered the drawing-room of his home in Gramercy Park,and awaited the arrival of the committee. With him were Mayor Wickam, Mr. Pe ter B. Olney, Col. Burton N. Harri son, Mr. Charles F. MeLane, Henry A. Tilden, corporation counsel, the Hon. Smith M. Weed, Mr. Edward Cooper, and Mr. Henry Havemeyer. The committee reached the house at 9 o’clock. Gen. MeClernand having been presented to the Governor by the Hon. Henry C. Murphy, said: Gov. Tilden — Sir: The National Democratic Convention lately as sembled at St. Louis, though come and gone, is survived by its work, which, for its merit, fairly claims candid scrutiny and approval. The Convention itself was large in num bers, august in its character and pa triotic in sentiment. It counted 738 delegates representing thirty-eight States forming an ocean-bound re public. It met in a rising and hos pitable city, enthroned upon the banks of the Mississippi, and worth ily typifying the growing grandeur of the mighty valley of that river. I met, too, under circumstances of great gravity, tit a time when 1 lie sharp cry of distress was going up from every part of the land. When the contribution had ceased to chal lenge the reverence and obedience of rash and infatuated rulers; when tiie j civil authority was exposed to fresh encroachments lVom the military} when “hate’’ was rung as the watch word,and the “bloody shirt” flaunted i as the banner of a sectional and ag gressive party, when trade restric tions embarrassed commerce and im- i jlm uuramni im.- ......... .... j immemorial money of the world, hard-money, was dishonored and virtually banished from circulation; when waste and extravagance had long been a ruling vice of legislation; when peculation and corruption were tainting and sapping tiie very foun dation of government and society; j when a ponderous public debt was i grinding the broken energies of the people; when insatiate taxation was devouring their scanty substance, and thereby impcrrilling the public credit ■ and faith; when gaunt famine, as the | consequence of involuntary idleness, was dogging the heel of the laboring classes; when, in fact, the whole; country was withering ancl quiver ing in extremity; yes it was under j these solemn circumstances that the Convention met, profoundly im- j pressed with its responsibility. A-tq- , mated with one feeling, it had but one common purpose, to deliver the > country, to bring the government back to its constitutional moorings, 1 to restore the States to their old-time j brotherhood; to raise up industry and labor from cucerib©£ p**i)£tration, si} 4 j to renew their wonted hopes and de served rewards, to retrench public expenditures, reduce taxation, im prove the purrpney, punish and pre vent official itifldelities, reform abuses, and build up again the an cient glory of the Union one, insep arable and perpetual. Preliminary to these important ends the Convention, in its wisdom, made a declaration of principles and pojicy as tiie touchstone of its i>olill - iitith ~a aeHariitipn os clear and unmistakable in sense as it is eloquent and graceful iu language. Then it proceeded to choose tried, true and enlightened statesmen to ineiumtP its argument, and to cham pion it in the held of political con test against all opposers and dangers. Finally it proceeded, according to usage, ip appoint a committee to wait upon the persons so chosen, and to notify them of the fget of their choice. , , , ~ , T . The General here handed to Dr. J. V. Harris, of Florida, Secretary of the Committee, a document and con cluded. Dr. Harris then read the following: New York City, ) July 11, 1876.) Gov. S. J, Tilden — Sir: Thp un dersigned, a committee o|‘ the Na tional Democratic Convention, which met at tat. Duuis, Mo., uu me 2itb ult., consisting of its President and of one delegate from each State of tiie Federal Union, have been entrusted with the pleasant duty of informing vou of your nomination by that body, as the candidate of tiie Demo cratic party, for tiie Presidency of tiie United btutos at the 6iiLflug plec lion. It is a source of great satisfaction to us. who but reflect tiie opinions of the members uf the late Democratic Convention, that a gentleman enter taining and boldly advocating as you do and have done, those great meas ures ot national and fciiate reform which are an absolute necessity for the restoration of the national honor, prosperity anfl credit, should have been selected as our otandard-benrer in the approaching contest. Your name is 4 lptentified with the all-ab sorbing questions of reform—reduc tion of taxation, and the maintenance of the rights of the laboring masses, 'itie DemoprAcy in designating you as their chosen leader, do npt feel that they are relying merely upon your pledges or promises of what you will do ib the event of your election. Your record of the past is our guar antee of your future course. “Hav ing been faithful oyer a few things we will make you a ruler over many things.” CAIITEItSYILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORXIXG, JULY 20,157 G. y 'ft. x , \A" jI i| HON.THOS. A. HEADRICKS OF INDIANA. Accompanying this letter of notifi cation we also present you witn the declaration of principles adopted by the convedtion. We have no doubt that you will recognize in this declaration measures of political policy which immediately concern the happiness and welfare of the entire peopie of this county, and we feel that your election to the Presidency will be a guarantee of their success and it will be as much your pleasure to enforce and main tain them if elected, as it was ours to give them me stamp or iiatumni icp resentation approbation and apgroval in tneir adoption. Entertaining the hope that you w ill signify to us your acceptance of the nomination, which we have been delegated to tender you, and that you concur wuth the convention in tneir declaration of principles, we arc, sir, your obedient servants, John A. McClernand, Ch’m. The Hon. Bayless W. Han na, os Indiana, then stepped in front of the Governor and said: Having the honor. Gov. Tilden, to represent here the Democratic Stale of Indiana, the home of your illus trious associate, Bon. Thomas A. Hendricks, I trust it may’not seem improper in me to add a few words to what has been so eloquently said by Gen. McClernand, the distin guished chairman of this comnittee. Before and during the convention, sir, recently held in St. Louis, Indi ana, justly proud of her great exec utive, struggled assidiousiy and with singular unanimity to secure the first place on our national ticket, to her favorite son. lArust nothing was said or done in tlie midst of that heated struggle, that must now be left to regrets and repentance. I believe it was an honorable struggle, of honorable men, in a righteous and honorable cause, and nothing more. We had learned to love our great Governor. His blameless life bad made him dear at home, as his pub lic conduct had rendered him illus trious in the estimation of the whole country. Mis long career of faithful public service, his abiding faith in the genius of constitutional, Demo cratic government during all tiie wea- ry years of a profiacted civil war; his ■ tearless espousal of the people's cause j at a time when usurpation was scow- 1 ing fiercely and intent upon the blow ; which patriotic fury alone averted. ! These considerations, sir, and many j others of similar import and equal importance, have justly rendered ~y w V "‘fx * Uve very idol ot the Democratic party of Indiana. They inspired to make him presi dent of the U nited States. They felt well assured the destiny of the repub lic would be safe in his hands. But, sir, when the Democratic party, speaking through its delegates assembled in national conven vention, in its faultless wisdom, and with a unanimity and determination unparalelled in the history of Dem ocratic conventions. elected to com mit, if possible, this precious charge to the hands of another. Indiana responded amen. And to-day her people, not only with great cheerful ness, but with great enthusiasm, all say amen to tne nomination of Sam uel J. Tilden, the acknowledged chief among the chieftains of the de voted reformers, who have battled for the overthrow of rings and con spiracies,' in office and out 04 office, and for the restitution of honest and economical government everywhere. Mr. Tilden paused a moment at the conclusion of Mr. Hanna’s address. Then stepping in front of a fine mar ble bust of Cicero, tie saidj)in a loud, clear tone: Gen. McClernand and Gentle men of tiie Committee : I shall at the earliest convenience prepare and transmit tp you a formal acceptance of the nomination which you now tender to me in behalf of tho Demo cratic National Convention, and I do not desire on this occasion to antici pate any topic which might be ap propriate to that communication. It may, however, be penninec! to me to say mat my nomination was not a mere personal preference be tween citizens and statesmen of this republic, who might very well been chosen for so distinguished an hopeg and for so august a duty. It was rather a declaration of that illustri ! ous body in whose behalf you speak, | in favor of administration reform, with which events had associated me in thp public mind. The strength, 1 the uuiv.ii'iuiiUy and the efficiency of : tho demand for administrative re form in all governments, and espe cially in the administration of the Federal Cjavernmont, with which the Democratic masses everywhere were instinct, have led to a series of surprises in the popular assemblages, and perhaps in tiie Convention itself. It would be unnatural, gentlemen, if a popular movement 2d genuine and so'powerful should stop with three and one-half millions of Democrats; that it should not extend by conta gion to that large mass of independ i cut voters who stand between parties in our country and to a portion of the party under whose administra tion the evils to be corrected haye grown tip. And perhaps in what we have witnessed there may be an au ! gury'in respect to what we may wit ness in the election about to take | place throughout our country, at i least let ushbpe so and believe so. I I am not without experience of the j difficulty and the labor of effecting administrative reform when it re quires a revolution in politics and in measures long established in government. If I were to judge by the year and a half in : which 1 have been in tfia State fyoy ! inent, I should say that the routine duties of the trust 1 have had impos iedon me are a small burden com pared with that created by the at tempt to change the pqlipy of the i Government of widen I been : the executive head. Especially is I this so where the refertq is fo be i worked out with more or less of the co operation of Bubhc officers, who | either have been tainted with the evils to be redressed, or who have I been incapacitated by habit or toHr | ation of the wrongs to be corrected,to which they have been consenting witnesses. I, therefore if your choice should b<> ratified by the people at the election, should enter upon tiie great duties which would fab upon me, not at a holiday recreation, but very much in that spirit of consec ration in which the soldier enters battle. [Applause.] But let us be live as I do believe, that we now see dawn of a better day for ourcountry, and that difficult as is the work to which the Democratic party, with many of the allies and former mem bers of other parties has addressed itself, the republic is yet to be renov ated to live in all the future and to be transmitted to future generations as Jefferson contributed to form in his day, and in which it has been ever since, until a -ecent period, a blessing to the whole people. [Ap plause.] Gentlemen, I thank you for the very kind terms in which you have made your communication and I extend t.) you collectively and individually a most cordial greet ing. _ GOV, Columbus, 0., July 10. 7o Hon. Edward McPherson , lion. IVm. A. Ilowark , Hon. Joseph H. Rain (‘if and others, Committee of the Republican National Conven tion : Ge.vxijEMEN—ln reply to your offi cial communication of June 17th, by which I am informed of my nomina tion for tiie office of President of the United States, by the Republican Na tional Convention, at Cincinnati. I accept the nomination with grati tude, hoping that under Providence I shall be able, if elected, to execute the duties of the high office as a trust for the benefit of all the people. 1 do not deem it necessary to enter upon any extended examination of the declaration of principles made by the Convention. The resolutions are i;. accord with my views, and I heartily concur in the principles there announced. In several of the resolutions, however, questions are of such importance that I deem it proper to briefly express my convic tions in regard to them. The fifth resolution adopted by the Convention is of paramount interest. More than forty years ago a system of making appointments to office grew up, based upon the maxim ”to the victors belong the spoils.” The old rule, tho true rule, that honesty capacity and fidelity constitute the only real qualifications for office, and that there is no other claim, gave place to the idea that party services ! were to he chiefly considered. Ah j parties in practice have adopted this system. It lias been essentially mod- j itied since its first introduction. It has not, however, been improved. ; At first the President, either directly, ; or through the heads of departments, made all the appointments, but grad ually the appointing power, in many ; cases, passed into the control of mem bers of Congress. The offices in ; these eases have become not merely rewards for party services, hut re- 1 wards for services to party leaders. This system destroys the independ ence of the separate departments of the government. It tends directly to extravagance and official incapaci ty. It is a temptation to dishonesty. It hinders and impairs the careful supervision and strict accountability by which alone faithful and efficient obstructs the prompt removal and sure punishment of the unworthy. In every way it degrades the civil service and the character of the gov ernment. It is felt, lam confident, by a large majority of the members of Congress to be an intolerable bur den, and an unwarrantable hindrance to the proper discharge of their le gitimate duties. It ought to be abol ished. The reform should be thor oughly radical and complete. \Ve Should return to the principles and practices of the founders of the gov ernment, supplying by legislation, when needed, that which was for merly established custom. They neither expected nor desired from public officers any partisan service. They meant that the public officers should owe their who^eservice to the government and to the people. They meant that the officer should be se cure in his tenure as long as his per sonal character remained untarnish ed and the performance of his duties satisfactory. If elected, T shn]l pan duct the administration of the gov ernment upon these principles, and all constitutional powers vested in the executive will be employed to establish this reform. The declaration of principles by the Cincinnati Convention makes no announcement in favor of a single Presidential torm. Ido not uine to add to that declaration, but be lieving that the restoration of civil service to the system established by Washington and allowed by the ear ly Presidents can be best accomplish ed Gy an Executive who is under no temptation to use the patronage of his office to promote his own re-elec tion, I desire to perform what I re gard as a duty in stating now my in flexible purpose, if elected, not to be a candidate for a second term. On the currency question I have frequently expressed my views in public, and stand by my record on this subject. I regard alftho laws of tiie United States relating to the pay ment of the public indoLto<lesw, tiie legal tender notes included, as consti tuting the pledge and moral obliga tion of the government which must in good faith be kept. It is my con viction that the feeling of uncertain ty inseparable from an irredeemable paper currency with its fluctuations of value is one qf the great obstacles to a revival of confidence in business and to a return of prosperity. That uncertainty can be ended in but ope way—the resumption of specie pay ment. But the length of time the instability connected with our pres ent system is permitted to continue, the greater will be the injury inflict ed upon economical Interests and all classes of society. If elected, I shall approve every appropriate measure to accomplish the desired end. and shall oppose any step backward, The resolution, with respect to the phbiie school system is one which should receive tiie hearty sup port of the American people. Agita tion upon this subject is to be ap prehended until by constitutional amendment the schools are beyond all danger of sectarian control! or in terference, fihe Republican party is pledged to secure such an amend ment, The resolutions of the Convention on the subject of the permanent pa cification of the country, and the complete prQfeptionsaf all its citizens ip tiie free enjoyment of all their constitutional rights, is timely and of great importance- The condition of the Southern Htatei attracts the attention and commands the sympa thy of the whole Union. In their progressive recovery from the effects of the war, their first necessity is in telligent and honest administration of the Government which will pro- tect all classes of citizens in ail their political and private rights. What the South most needs is peace, and peace depends upon the supremacy |of law. There can be no enduring peace if the constitutional rights of any portion of the people are habit ual ly disregarded. Adhesion to po litical parties resting merely upon distinctions of race, or upon section lines, is always unfortunate and may be disastrous. The welfare of the South alike with that of every other part of the country depends upon the attractions it can afford to labor, to immigration and to capital, labor ers will not go and capital will not venture where the constitution and the laws are set at defiance and de struction, apprehension and alarm take the place of peace loving and law abiding social life. As parts of of the Constitution are sacred, and must be sacredly obrerved the parks that are new no* less than the parts that are old. The moral and mate rial prosperity of the Southern States can be most effectively advanced by a hearty and generous recognition of tiie rights of all without reserve or exception. With such recognition fully accorded, it will he practicable to promote by the influence of all legitimate agencies of the general government, the effort of the people of these States to obtain for them o.vps the blessing of honest and capable local government. If elect ed, l shall consider it not only my duty, it will be my ardent desire to labor for the attainment of this end. Let me assure my countrymen of the Southern States that if I shall be charged with the duty of organizing an administration it will he one which will regard and cherish their truest interests, the interest*of the white and colored people, both and equally, and which will put forth its best efforts in behalf of a civil policy which wipeout forever the distinc tion between North and South in our common country. With civil service organized upon a system which will secure purity, experience, efficiency and economy, a strict regard for the public welfare solely in appointments, and the speedy, thorough and unsparing prosecution and punishment of all public officers who betray official trusts, with a sound currency, with education unsectarian and free to all, with simplicity and frugality in public and private affairs, and with vading the people of all sections and classes we may reasonably hope that the second century of our exist ence as a nation will, by the blessing of God, be pre-eminent by an era of good feeling and a period of progress prosperity and happiness. Very respectfully, your fellow-cit izen, * it. B. llayir. Col. Hardeman Withdraws. Macon, Ga., July 13, IS7G. Editors Telegraph <t- Messenger: It is evident from t lie returns of primary ! meetings in different counties that! Riu not the choice of a majority of the citizens of Georgia for executive honors. Recognizing this fact, though other counties yet to act would ; add to my list of supporters, it would | not change the result. It would ; therefore be folly in me to continue ■ longer in the canvas, thereby injur ing my friends and unnecessarily, further division in the Democratic party. Believing as I do, that the cannot consent to remain longer in an attitude of seeming opposition to that will, relying upon a contin gency that might happen un'j[ er the operation of the twq-third rule, to thwart it, and thereby piace in posi tion someone who is not the choice of the people. I caunot be a party to any such arrangement; for it is against my sense of justice and of justice and of right, and, therefore retire from the canvass, bowing subd miasively to the will of the people. In so doing I would not intimate to those friends, who have been se lected in my interest, how they should act in the premises fori am well aware that their intelligence and patriotism will guide them in that line of conduct, which will re sult in good to the party and benefit to the people. In retiring allow me to say that those counties who have honored me as their choice, I mean all that language will convey, when I say I heartily thank you foryour generous confidence. To the press I return my grateful acknowledge-j ments, to some for their disinterest-, ed support, to otherc for the m a nlv courteous and kind opposfy on * the ' y have given me. I W, a very small number have fiy tne personal allu sions p .ad unkind insinuations urged me, hut in so doing they have not elevated the character of their journals or grown in the esteem of a fair minded public. To those friends, who for months gave me encouraging assurance of confidence and support, then abandoned me and joined nay opponents I will only say I freely forgive you, knowing as"l do, that human nature cannot withstand the blandishments of opposition and the allurements of office. To the Democratic party I would speak one word. Let no envies or jealousies enter your ranks and divide your forces. The contest we are about to enter will require united efforts to insure a victory. In the past I have labored zealously for harmony in our ranksknowing that it was essential to success. For that harmony I sacrifice personal ambition to-day—prefering party success to personal elevation at the expense of the party . I shall therefore not cease my efforts in that direction in the future, but as a pri vate in the ranks, will still be found ever willing to strike with might and for Democratic unity and victory. Respectfully, Tiros. Hardeman, Jr, Rome Daily News: We learned yesterday that during the storm Monday afternoon seven fine import ed sheep were killed by lightning on Carey’s farm some six miles from Rome. We are very sorry to hear it, as Mr, Carey has just moved to tiffs section and is hardly under good headway with his sheep. The Griffin News says that Spald ing county would have ehosen Coi quitt delegates but for tiie extraordi nary offiivts of a military company there that served under Col. Harde man ; also that the delegates select ed will vote for Colquitt as their sec ond choice. Mr. M. L. McDowell, near C’uth bert, has just thrashed and cleaned forty-five bushels rust proof oats, from three-quarters of an acre of laud. He had harvested a large crop of oats, and thinks it the best crop the farmer can plant. The Dalton Citizen says: A farmer living near town informs us that he has shipped and sold at least twenty flve bushels of cherries; and another has a like quantity of June apples for sale.
