LLI.iOTT, Gen I Jsup’t 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 fUorWMr. m yievvs favorable to nm-.'ba oi an *' Gh for a modification of Gov. , known hard money 1 ildeas tii)> Hendricks stated principles ■ divisions in the fiankly that i.- Ohio on the States of Indiana am Doli _ financial question mducx i conven ticians on both sides, in u>ea. tions and meeting, to tamper w. t as a bid for local support. i *• said, is done just as much by Bepub licans as by Democrats ; jus as queutly by the supporters of Hj>< Mnrl Wheeler as bv those of l dden and Hendricks. “But,” said he and Hendricks, “the National Conven tion, to speak for the D nt y a that forecloses the matter so iar *<s the candidates for the national • t -gesare concerned.” oh. 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- CARTERS VILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 27, 1576. FOR VILE-PRESIDEN T : HOM.THOS. A. HEADRICKS OF INDIANA. 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 acted wisely, at least in its first efioice. The issue upon ymm. we go i to jlipLogjitry, and which you, Gov *vor, so 94i?#bly represent, is one er- ■ vfth defeat and 1 °. n to Indiana \vitfi a hepe shall retm. t sure v>Mi have fulness which v i&ad s and he its effects upon o And so ! felt in our State cans Wes!<leut of the President and \ ice-,, ; v the United States that may o.

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 employ of the Government. —mg?

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.

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.

The Grasshoppers. Valuable Suggestions Relating to Getting Kill of Them. Atlanta Constitution,]® Department of Agriculture, Atlanta, Ga., July 21,1876. Mr. C. A. Alexander, Washington , Qa. 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.
