Thu Georgia State election occurs Wednesday, llm 4th of October. The election for President and members of Congress occurs Tuesday, thu 3d of November. The President naked (or 2,r>00 men to reinforce the armies of Crook and 'JVrry. lie got them, and now says that they shall be sent South to make war upon the people. It is hinted that old mau Johnny Norcross will not canvass the Slate in person. This is a wise conclusion to which Uncle Johnnie has come to, n- ii would be all thrown nwity. The Clerk of the IToin.c, Mr. Ad ams, will bo its Spenket until anew Speaker is elected, lie will call the House tu order next December, and officiate until .Mr. Ken’s successor is named. Hon. 11. W. Hilliard said to a gen tleman n few days ago that he would publicly announce himself an Inde pendent candidato for Congress, ton days before the nomination. Our advice to him is don’t 1 don’t!! don’t!!! —• Ijw - What is the matter with brother 1) cut, or what be means, we are un able to understand. Witness the fol lowing from the Herald: “The Con gressional race in this District is fast boiling itself down to u contest be tween Judge Buchanan and a mythi cal opposition." Tho Radicals of the State met nt Macon last Wednesday and nomin ated Jonathan Noreroaa, of Allnirn. ns their candidate (or Governor. Noreroaa is a native born srallawag, nnd is the managing editor of the Atlanta Republican. Jonathan will never bo Governor of Georgia. The Newman Herald says that the people of Douglass county arc very much dissatisfied at ttie resolutions passed endorsing Harris for Con gress, anil that it was fraudulently done. Three-fouths of the people are opposed to him, and anew meeting is called for. Let there be fair play. A correspondent of the Columbus Enquirer, in view of the possible , cnmlidnbtr 1 if Governor Smith fori Vui'Ciir v Si . ' le losses the { candidate* for the 1 unre ns fol lows: “If Governor Smith is a candi datel for United States Senator, will yon vote for him? Conte, gentlemen, there i* a majority of voters in Mus cogee county who want an answer to this question.” The editor ot tin lirunswick Ap~ jknl announces that lie is in favor of ndowi;the Capital to remain in Atla"',a. Very io>od. Hut there are other* in favor of having ti earned hack to Milledgoviile; and ns it was removed therefrom by fraud and vio lence, it is (proposed that the matter be submitted to the tax payers at the ballot box, thereby allowing the ed itor of the--f/i/o.t/, as well as those who diftor with him, to indicate their preference in a manner at once em phatic and final. Does this proposi tion meet with any objection?—[.Si vatinah Sews. TUB ( . \(i UK SSI ON U. SITI IT!'.V ——' All the counties composing the i Uourili Congressional District have choo:t delegates, ith the cxc‘“ t.o,' of Carroll and Campbell, Mini Wether, Troup, Heart! and Douglass counties have delegates inslne. ed for Col. llartis, which gives him twelve, votes in the enliven'ion.

Coweta has instructed 1 or four votes for Hon. | Hugh Buchanan. II mis arid Ta hot | counties have eight uninstrueted 1 votes. Carroll lias four nnd Camp hell two votes, hut we arc not advi-ed as to how they will probably go. We believe it to be fw the best that dele gates to the Congressional Conven tion should go uninstrueted; and as all those who have sent them in structed cannot have their preference, it is hoped that the delegates will so act as to harmoniz - all diflieallies and unite on some plan that will secure for us the best representative. CONVIJMIO.N VS. HONEST ft AD. Those w ho oppose a Constitutional Convention are making nil effort to show that the object of a convention will ln to annul and take away a mans homestead, after ho has applied and it been granted him. There ha certainly never been greater fallacy presented in opposition to a conven tion. Tho convention could not, if it desired, take away a homestead al ready granted, and if tho homestead question is touched at all, it will not be with a view of interfering with those already granted, and it does not neccessai'i'y follow that tho home stead will be touched nt all by tho convention, though a reduction of th present, amount w ould prove benifi eiid to both debtor and creditor, and would have a tendency for good in restoring eonfi ience among the peo ple. There are many tieceessary reforms in our constitution badly needed, nnd the only remedy is through a convention, i lie patronago of the (Sovernor is too extended; we should have the privilege of electing our judges, solicitors, notaries public, etc. The arguments in favor of a conven tion are numerous, as but little legis lation that can belli fit the people can ce effected under tho pr cut. consti tution. The homestead is altogether a secondary consideration, and those who are "blowing'* about it, do so to use ii to defeat a convention. I!Liu: THIN DAY. Next Saturday is the day for hold ing tlie primary election for the noun illation of two candidates to repre sent Harris county in tlio lower branch of the General Assembly. The manner of conducting the elec tions in tlie various militia districts has been fully set forth by the Chair man of the Uemoeratio Executive Committee, whose explanation np pears in another column over Ids signature. It is highly important that all should attend the election next Saturday. While all the can didates are good nun, and those with whom the best interest ot the county can salely be intrusted, it is well that the best men for tho times be selected. The election should be conducted without excitement, but let each man come to tlio polls and east his vote for the man ho thinks w ill best represent the eouuty, and do so without regard to personal favor or preferences, nt.d the four de feated candidates will acquiesce with out a murmur, and will cordially support the choice of the county. It is important that all tlio voters attend the polls, ns it i.-> highly essential that on the eve of the most imp irtant uatiotial elections that we shall have to come before us soon, that we pre sent a solid front, and show to those enemies of good and honest govern incut that the Dciuooratic party i aroused on the political issues of the day, and are determined to do all m their power to secure good men in positions of trust. When some of the friends of the Hon. William H. Smith, Hepresonta live in Congress from the Second District of this State, telegraphed him that he must return at once to aid in securing his renomination, he replied: ‘‘Duty first, then self. I cannot posi tive’)' leave Washington.” Noble words; and how they contrast with the conduct of two-thirds of his col* leagues.- [ .V< irni//M }{<rahi. Now don't talk so, 1 rubor Dent. Didn't you know that Colonel Harris came home to see a sick wife, and af ter she got well, Mr. Hill and Mr. Chandler both told him he needn’t go hael ? besides this, Gen. Cook found time to telegraph lmn that Congress would adjourn in a few days. To Hit’ Democracy' of Harris Comity. Fellow Citizen*: According to a re-elution adopted by the Democratic party of your county ou the first dav of the present mouth, you are nailed upon, on the second day of September next, to ,-t your b dlots in a prima ry electian to nominate two candi dated to represent you in the next General Assembly. 1 have been requested, both verbal and by letter, to explain the true ob ject, intent and meaning of the reso j iiitions. The resolutions are so plain that it fieeum to me no explanation is necessary—in other words, that they (-xtilain themselves—and to a person of lair understanding, they cannot lie misunderstood. In reply, however, I have this to say, that on the second day of Septemboi next, a nomination by ballot will be held at each of the ! places of bolding Justices Court in tin! different militia districts of the county for two candidates to the next House of Representatives. That said nomination be conducted by three competent freeholders of the party j after the manner of holding elections . in this State, and all members of the ! Democratic party who are entitled to vote for Repfe-ent:itives of the Gcn , er/d A embly of the State, shall be | entitled to vote in said nomination. 1 That said managers, or ono of said managers, shall bring the tally sheets and voles polled at said nomination to the Gotirt House on the following Tuesday to be consolidated, and the two per.-ons having tho highest num ber of votes to be declared tho duly nominated candidates of the party to represent the same in the next. Gen eral Assembly. Now, it is intended by those icso luliuiis that no person or persons, j white or black, who have heretofore j affiliated with the Radical pan y. A -ii vote in this nomination, and any p ■ son of such Known politics presenting his ballot should bo rejected by the managers, nnd admonished to save his fire until the regular election in October, at which time ho can “joui the band.’’ 1 would also advise the managers, for the satisfaction of the people, to take an oath to conduct the nomination fairly and in strict accordance with the resolutions. All that w ill be necessary in this is to subscribe to an affidavit, witnessed by a justice of the peace or notniy pub lic, tiioii two tally sheets properly kept and the votes taken care of until the day of consolidation, is all that will bo required. Excuse me here for saying a word in icgnrd to myself, \jeivc been fo liei'ed by several friends, verbally and by -Hulg-, to become a candidate for tlio nomination. To those friends If el very grateful, and return my , siiuv ro thanks, at the same time de | dining the candidacy. It is hoped, Edlow Citizens, Jiat overy voter ol the party will go to the polls on that day and give ex pression to bis w ishes, and support the candidate whom lie thinks can benefit the party, the county, tlie Slate and the people most. Lay aside till personal friendships and ani mosities and vote for the host man, for I tell you your country needs his sei vices. We are in the midst of the greatest and the most important cam paign in which the South has ever participated. To us it is almost a | matter of life or death, and every true i man will certainly do his duty. With fetch principles as we advocate, and with such great and good men as Til del. and Hendricks and our own Colquitt to guide ns, surely the great God wi'l favor ns. In my opinion the day is ours. The mainspring of fWWicalism is broken, and the w ind ing chain too weak even to unite it. Negro suffrage, once so potent and noworful in their bands, has deserted ! them, and the day is near when the du<ky sons of Ham will ally them selves with us in building up our wasted South. I’y patience and in domitable energy and perseverance, w e have won the victory; bv honesty, fidelity aml 4 courage let us hold it. John T. Wiu.iams, Chairman Hem. Ex. Coin. August 24, 1870. People, says the Macon 7\!egraph, who fear that corn will be quoted low in Georgia this tall, may still bo able to sleep il they will only reflect upon the price it will bring if turned into pork. While the average Geor gian is selling his cotton at nine cents to turn it into bacon at fourteen, let hint quietly betake himself to raising ; his own meat. If corn was worth but fifty cents a bushel in Georgia I markets, it would to just as good n the crib to the farmer as if it v>a> worth three dollars. To the event ot profitable domestic use, it t'i ,kes no difference what corn mav l ■ quoted ai just o long as w .no none to buy.

Death of speaker Kerr.—Speak er Kerr, who for several months past has been in a rapid decline of health, died at the White Sulpher Springs in Virginia on last Saturday. Mr. Kerr was one of the most exemplary statesmen of our country, and his death robs us of a good man. Being a man of great ability and the highest integrity, lie was loved, admired and respected by all. Even those who differed with him on the leading po litical issues of the day, were forced to give expression to their high ad miration for his high moral and po litical character, which they did by a formal resolution passed by Congress without a dissenting voico. When his enemies give such testimony to his merits, the world cannot longer doubt that a great and good man lias fallen. II onry Grady thus writes of Gen. Colquitt to the Augusta Constitu tionalist: “I have been close to many a noted campaigner in many a campaign, but I never saw any man carry himself' through a fight so blamelessly and so' pure, witpsiieh a scorn for the doulw ful devices of politicians, and sudra loathing for doubtful devices, ns lUA Colquitt carried himself through me last campaign. I have never found such bravo honesty, such sweet dig nity, such gentleness, grace and stti cerity, such loyalty and such winning tenderness as T tve found iu this Cl; istian gent an. In short, Ido not hesitate to say, and no gratitude or hope impels me to the statement, that General Colquitt is the best and purest public man I ever knew.
