FOR PRESIDENT:
HON. SAMUEL J. TILDEN,
OF NEW YORK.
'Tiie Saratt ga Conference,
A Detailed Statement of what Passed
Between Tilden and Hendrieks.
New York Herald, July IS.
Gov. Tilden and Mr. Hendricks,
the Democraticcandidates for Presi
dent and Vice-President, met lasi
week at Saratoga. The meeting was
an important one. All the talk
about its ‘-accidental” character is of
course absurd, it was pre-arranged
and had a uurnose. Yet not a relia
ble met m the coniereuue uu-aim;
known, although several experienc
ed and faithful newspaper correspon
dents, were eagerly seeking to (tick
up crumbs of information. The bad
dinners and worse liquors of the
famous resort of shoddy and sharp
ers are not calculated to inspire con
fidence and render polities aggreably
communicative. One of the gentle
men who a sisted at the conference
has, however, reached the West End
hotel litre, on a recruiting trip after
the exhausting weather at Saratogo,
and umier the influence of our cool
breezes, during a saunter along the
cliff, was kind enough to furnish
some items of interest in regard to !
the meeting.
TIIE WEST AND THE EAST.
Immediately after the St. Louis
Convention Mr. Henry Tilden, the
Governor’s brother, put himself in
communication with Mr. Hendricks.
At that time Mr. Hendricks did not
teei altogether satisfiekl with his po
sition, having naturally set his heart
on the nomination for the Presiden
cy under warm encouragement of his
own immediate friends and the anti-
Tiiden eliment in New York. Yet!
he expressed himself eager for the
success of the party this year, be- !
lieving that the safety of the coun
try requires the expulsion of the lie
publicans from office. His doubt
was as to the expediency of the nora
ination of any candidate for the sec- j
ond place from either Ohio and In
diana. He thought in substance that
the demand for reform would carry
the Presidential election however the
October States might vote, and that
it would have been better to have ig
nored the early elections altogether.
He modestly expiessed diffidence iu
his own strength, especially as Indi
ana had voted against the St. Louis
platform. “You will ha\e a candi
date whose State does not stand on
the platform you have laid down,”
he said. At the same time lie de
ohu’oH hLt readiness to yield his own
views and to go r
er to secure the success of the Demo- j
eratic party,, only he wanted.it he
ran, to be so far proteeteu as to be at .
liberty to take care of his own way
in the October election. Hep-,
driefcj ien suggested that the repeal s
of the so-called Ilesuipption act oft
1875 might remove many of the ch,- j
Acuities in the way of the party in
the West, and expressed a wish to
Jjrow whether Gov. Tilden would he :
opposed to a policy on the part
of the Hemocratjc House of Repre
sentatives. A meCt!”}? 01 tlie tA . v '°
candidates for consultation and an in
terchange of views was proposed at;
that time, and was subse'quc-ii.l v BJ- :
ranged in a private correspondence
between them.
THE SARATOGA CONFERENCE.
The meeting at Saratoga was, in
the language of the Herald's infor
mant, one of “an argument apd de
liberative character, held lor the pur
pose of a careful review of the situa
tion, and with a sincere desire on all
sides to arrive ai the wisest solution
of any real or financial aiuici.ities :
ihe gossip about dissensions during
one cotiffirence and dissatisfaction on
the du it of Mr- Hep dricks at its close
isliMEinary. Equally fotmlaas is tho

THE RESUMPTION ACT BE RE
SIIALL pealed.
irwj-a then informed Gov.
Mr. lienu th txassage b>’ } he
Tudcn that
Democratic Ho. Vot . ( j‘f L -miptum act
of a bill repealn g tne its. g^ es
would benefit the ffiui ty in L. -nog
of Ohio and Indiana (without mju
the ticket with the hadd-money me.,
inasmuch as the act liad Jeen tlirown j
overboard by the Rupuibhcan -Na
tional Convention denounced in un
measured terms by Governor Hawley 1
the embodiment of the hard-money
principle in the Republican ranks,
find conceded by ail sensible business
men and competent financiers to be
in practicable and efficient. With
that concession by a Democratic
Congress, he said, the people ol Ohio
and Indiana would enthusiastically
rail v to tiie support of the Democrat
ic candidates and both States would
certainly be carried by them in Oc
tober. Gov. Tildeivs ai’gument
•a<minst this view of the ease is said to
have been quite able. In substance
he urged that such action on the part
of Democratic Congressmen would
bo open to ono fatal objection, w hicli
Hr- Hendricks had himself supplied,
It would be an expression in opposi
tion to the National Democratic plat
form just laid down, which declares
, ulv in favor of the repeal of that
clause of the law fixing the* date for
resumption positively on January.!,
1879. The Governor admitted that
Congress would have a perfect right
to reprai that or any other law it
might see tit to repeal, without re
„ard to Presidents or {ilatforms, if it
had the power to do so and believed
it to he for the public interest. Dut
in this instance the one House has
not the power even if it had the dis-

position to repeal this law, and no
man of sense, so mistaken as to lie
honestly in favor of inflation, could
fail to recognized the deceptive char
acter of such a policy. It would not
satisfy any inflationist and would
offend the hard-money sentiment of
the country not the less because it
would be known from the former
policy of Congress and from the re
cent utterances of the National Con
vention to be in direct antagonism to
the principles of the Democracy.
After a very full discussion Mr.
Hendricks Dec tme ausm-a u,„i o<v.
Tilden’s views were correct, and de
claied his concurrence in them, at
the same time stating that his re
marks in regard to the repeal had
been made not as representing his
own sentiments, but in deference to
the opinions of prominent Demo
crats b. Ids own State and in Ohio.
TANARUS, IE CAMPAIGN IN THE WEST.
The conference then turned upon
the subject of the October campaign
in the States of Ohio and Indiana.
Gov. Tilden made minute and
searching inquiry into the condition
of the organization in the iatter
State and his familiarity with details
seemed to astonish Mr. Hendricks,
The Governor signified his desire
to aid tho Indiana Democracy by
any means in his power and to ar
range such speakers from New York
and other States as it may be deemed
desirable to send into the fight. Mr.
Hendricks spoke with confidence of
the result in Indiana and hopefully
of New York. The Republicans of.
his own State, lie said, are by no
means in a harmonious condition,
and the nomination of Orth would be
calculated to lead to still greater dis
satisfaction. There is no reason to j
apprehend any defection from the]
Democratic ranks in Ohio, and the
Democracy of that State, Mr. Hen-i
dricks declares, will bo now morel
united and better organized than in ]
many years previously. Every as- j
sistance that can be given by New
York was pledged by Gov. Tilden
to both States. There is doubt that
the Governor’s ability as an organiz
er will make itself felt in the October
elections.
THE LETTER OP ACCEPTANCE. j
It is true that nothing was said di- j
reetly between Gov, Tilden and Mr. |
Hendricks as to what their respective I
letters of acceptance will contain, j
Mr. Hendricks inquired of the Gov- I
ernor about what time he thought]
i ic, adding, p!easauTj v' “ 14 kYtV.kw
Governor, I must not make my bow !
before you have made yours. Gov.
Tilden replied that he did not think
lie should be able to send his letter
to thp committee for some two or
three vveekss, as a large amount of
executive business was pressing upon
him which he was unwilling io neg
lect. “My principles are so well
known,” said the Governor, smiling,
“that 1 do not think the delay will
be of much consequence.” But al
though tio discussion took place as to
what the letters were to contain, the
free interchange of views has, be
yond question, mapped out their
subaffipre so far as the financial
question is topoetneq. R
certain that Gov. Tilden will rotter- j
ate very emphatically what are j
known to be his settled principles in
favor of a speedy return of specie
payments, and will declare that the
country pannflt Wgaffi be prosperous
until the cause of unsettled vaiuea,
impaired credit and paralysed ousi
ness —and irredeemable paper cur
rency— has been removed. It is cer
tain also, iVoid y/lmfc transpiied at
the conference, that Ids'decisive ex
pression of views on tbe part of the
I Governor so far from being objec
, tffinable to Mr. Hendricks, will meet
! with ins approval. Mr. Hendricks,
' ”’ho fully recognizes the fact that
a return ot specie basis, If H coul.
be accomplished to-nIOHOW without
i disturbance or injury to tlie buS(nC-S
j and producing interestsffif the coun-
I try, would be desirableseepas, likciy
in'his letter.to accept the National
i Democratic platform as it was framed
i at Ht. Louis, and to declare that the
of the several Congressional
I districts are at liberty to eject such
Congressmen as will faithfully rep*
1 resent their oW2 views on financta
! nuestions in the body having control
over legislation affecting those ques
i tions.
CONFIDENCE in TIIE RESULT.
Defore parting Mr. Hendricks cx
! pressed to Gov. Tilden his increased
confidence, from nil he had seen and ,
heard since he left home, in the suc
i CP ss of the Democracy iu the I resi
dential election. ‘‘l can say sincere- j
lv ” said Mr. Hendricks, “that I am
convinced the National Convention

It is a significant fact that the In
dians who slaughtered Custer and
his men were armed with the best
Henry rifles, a better weapon than j
these in the bands - of our troops.
Where were those rifles obtained ".
This is an important question, and
the natural suggestion is that they
came from the post-traders in the

cannot buy the ground they will
take down the building and erect it

the sight of the old handicraft? The

A Sketch of the Late Commencement by
a Youuj Lady of Barton-.
Shady Nook. July 17. 187 G.
To he Editor of The Express:
Amid the green depths of a quiet
retreat, and the soft rustles of corn
j blades and whispering leaves, we
vv4u!d sketch for yonr entertainment
aitd tliAt of your readers, some of the
scfeHtet and circumstances which have
dtfSfi for us with refreshing interest
ai|iHbeauty the aria path of these
blsiing July days.
We left Forsyth on the 13th inst.,
(it- tne conclusion of the commence
ment exercises, and have thought
pQv-iiaps a short account of that im
poriaiit epoch in the history of Mon
i rcfeFemale College miglit not be un
i acii>table to you as a contribution to
I your items of general information.
Forsyth is a quiet and heretofore
prosperous town, (we mean before
the “ hard times,”) of about two
thousand inhabitants, centrally loca
ted, immediately on the railroad, and
thus is da iy connected with Atlanta
ami Macon, with good climate, excel
lent water, and society distinguished
for its high moral and religious tone.
We know nf nn other plaw offering
greater advantages for the situation
and support of an educational insti-
Hii \ r i his fact has been appreciated
bv the founders of its present college,
which we may be pardoned tor say
ing we regard as its chief feature and j
crowning ornament.
Commencement had come. The
occasion so long and often so fearful- j
Iy anticipated was at hand. On Sab- ]
bath morning, July 9th, a large au
dience assembled in the spacious, j
handsomely decorated chapel. After
the opening ceremonies, Dr. Skinner,
pf Macon, preached a most impres
sive sermon ; an outline of that dis
course would not do it justice; we
will only note an incident that struck
us as being particularly worthy of
remembrance. Among the floral
decorations was a cross which was
ingeniously constructed of cedar, and
j silvered over by some unknown pro
j cess, made a most unique and elegant
j ornament; this stood just behind the
preacher, and in his remarks he took
occasion to call attention to tlie fact
ipat Christians were sometimes at a
jjpss as to the propriety of using this
most precious symbol I, on account of
its association with forms and prac
tices which their judgment andprin-
I ciples condemned. This, he said,
i was wrong, all wrong ; it was Christ’s
] cross, and through him ours ; as such
we had a right to it.
(m Monday came the sophomore
reasong of extracts; for the two
piizes of handsome gold medals had
been offered. At the conclusion of the I
junior exhibition on Tuesday tiu?se |
were presented t$ the successful com
petitors, and an 'appropriate address I
delivered by the inimitable Col. I).
E. Butler,
Monday evening was the occasion
of the Atheneam entertainment, pro
nounced by all a brilliant success.
On Tuesday evening came off the
annual concert' under direction of
that thorough music scholar and
teacher, Prof. Herman Bechter.
Wednesday, of course, was the
day of days, the “creme de la creme”
DI JWFttOW 'C&peni ,JCX ere!SOS. At an
and the cry was, “still they corn 0 ,”
About IQ a. m., the faculty marched
in, followed by tiie senior class of ten
young ladies, all arrayed in pure
white, significant of that purity
which should ever distinguish the
character and career of woman. They
were fellowed by a long line of trus
tees and whose serious
faces, while they added I so
betrayed the earnest interest, with
which they contemplated the cere
monies of the occasion.
First in order of the day came a
poem by Maj. Chas. Hubner, of At
lanta. We can boast of no previous
acquaintance with this author,
but think his warm fancy and quick
appreciation of the beautiful, as well
as grace in nature’s philosophy, be
token an intellect of no ordinary or
der, and one which will doubtless
claim for him a lofty, and still lofti
er place on the heights of fame.
The young ladies of tbs graduating
class acquitted thernsfclVG with much
i credit, their compositions were well
prepared and well read.
The baccalaureate address by Pres.
1 Asbury, reflected luster on that gen
* tteman, both as a scholar and as an
orator.
Well, commencement is over.
Proud, fond parents smile on the well
earned laurels that bedeck his fair
young bro\y. aqd with their daugh
ter bid farewell to the field of their
scholastic struggles and victory.
Henceforward, for many, the arena
will be the more limited sphere of
home. May its atmosphere be redo
lent with tne fldurd of love and its
i victors be crowned by the gentle
I hands of peace and charity. Per
! iucem feminae.it liber at a, and we glad
ly bid the wheels of progress move

Hendrick’s Interview with Tilden,
Indianapolis, Ind.. July 18,—
The Daily News publishes the follow
ing interview with Gov, Hendricks,
with reference to the special from
Saratoga to the New York Commer
cial Advertiser:
Reporter—Wi'l you indicate to the
News whether or not there is. any
truth in the Associated Press dispatch
from New York, to the effect that
differences were developed
between yputsiilf aqd Gov. Tilden as
the Saratoga conference, on the cur
rency question, as to possibly ob
vou to repudiate Tilden, or retire
yourself froth the ticket ?
Gov. Hendricks- Really, \ have
! seen no such dispatch as you refer to.
The reporter promptly produced
the telegram, and the Governor, after
treading it aloud ? continued: “It is
•kollv unfounded iu every particu-
la i\” Was your conference;
Keportu M i iarmo uious and
with Gov. lii
satisfactory
we differed in some immaterial .
points, but on the r *' l of t je i
campaign we were united, it would
be a strange coincidence to find any
two men in the country whose opin
ions on national questions were in
i exact harmony.
1 Reporter— The telegram, then, you
pronounce lacking of every element
j of Gov. h Hendricks—Most decidedly
Iso The Commercial Advertiser re
ferred to in the telegram, I suspect,
! is a strongly partisan paper, which
j readily accounts for the fabrication to
! which it gave publicity.

Valuable Suggestions Relating to Getting

Dear Sir— Your letter of the 20th
and the bottle of grasshoppers, reach
ed me the same day. These insects
have also appeared at several locali
ties in this city and vicinity as well
as other sections of tfiis State.
After careful examination, I am.of
the opinion that they are the true
caloptenm spreta or hatefut grasshop
per of the West.
iney mo it.o iicooL
which must have appeared in the
same localities last year but in num
bers too small to attract attention.
They are now young—very few of
them capable of flight. The wings,
however, are growing find in a very
! short time they will be able to fly. ’
They do not deposit eggs during
their present stage of growth.
After changing or moulting five
times, they becoipe full-grown grass
hoppears or locust§.
They then fair off, and thp females
begin to deposit their eggs in the
earth. The eggs remain in the
ground aU whiter and hatch oqt next
spring.
A small number now, may pro
duce immense swarms next season.
I would advise you and all ottier
farmers, to destroy them by every
means in yam? power,
On the farm of Col, J. H. Fannin,
oi Troup county, where they appear
ed (.wo week ago, they were effectual
ly destroyed by beating with brush
and driving into piles aud rows of
dry straw and burning.
jt is said that in Alabama where
they hoye fdso appeared, the farmers
succeeded in destroying them by
wholesale, by driving them into
snares or net, constructed of cheap
netting or homespon, somewhat like
: partridge nets.
ft is important that they he destroy
ed before (hey are able to Jty , aa after
that period they move rapidly and
easily from field to field and county
to county, and it will be imprattible
to arrest their progress, since they
can rise high in the air and sustain a
very prolonged flight.
Very respectfully,
