The St. Louis Convention.* This great representative Laxly of the De mocracy of the entire nation, which meets on the 27th of June, will number 738 mem bers. Quite a litttc army, or at least a regi ment of politicians. Of the delegates, 226 will come from the Eastern States, 212 from the Western States, 276 from the Southern States and 24 from the Pacific. Under the two thirds rule 402 votes will be necessary to a nomination, and of these the South and West, if united, could furnish 488, or only four short of the requisite num ber. This evinces the great power of those sections, if they will but act harmoniously and in concert. From present appearances Ohio will be the disturbing clement, unless when Gov. Allen and his friends perceive that outside of their own State the former has no following, they should consent to waive their currency views, and unite with the mass of the party for the defeat of the Radicals. That is the grand consideration that ranks every other, and the only hope of renewed prosperity to the country. In this view of the case, heavy indeed will be the responsi bility of those who, by their intrigues and cabals, succeed in destroying the unity of the National Democratic organization. But is there not sufficient patriotism in the party to prevent this catastrophe ? We hope so. Colquitt a Universal Favorite—No Dark House in This Contest. Advices from every section of the State, re marks the Augusta Constitutionalist , justify us in saying that General Colquitt is a long way ahead of all other candidates. In spite of determined efforts to manufacture local opinion in favor of other men, where little or none exists, it is evident that the people are even now ready and disposed to take judg ment in his favor against all rings that would divert them from the man of their choice. If Richmond county is a fair sample of the strength of the different candidates through out the State, the friends of Colquitt need no further assurance of his triumphant nomina tion whenever the State Convention meets, lie is the favorite here, and in advocating him we expressed the real sentiments of our peo ple who cannot be draggooned against their will into the support of any candidate by cries of “ ring rule” and “ snap judgments.’* Protection of Rice. The clamors for “protection” from the South are so ill-advised, needless and dangerous that we dislike very much to hear them, says the Macon Teletjraph Messenger. If there is one policy traditionally dear to our people, it is that of free markets and as near abso lutely open ports as possible. Revenue ob tained by levying duties on foreign goods is so insidious, uncertain and fluctuating—so unfair in its practical operations on classes and sections that all leading Southern minds have inclined to discourage the system as much as possible from the earliest periods of our Federal history. In this matter of protection from free Ha waiian rice, it seems to us a molehill has been elevated to a mountain. The total produce exports of the whole group of islands is not greatly in excess of a million dollars, of which rice forms but a part, and the population and agricultural area of the islands is very small. On the other hand, whatever may be the capacity of our coast rice-swamps, we have a literally illimitable area of upland which will produce thirty bushels of rice to the acre, at no greater cost than corn. Rough rice at seventy-five cents a bushel ought to be a good crop from Middle Georgia, Alaliama and Mis sissippi down to the Gulf, and instead of re ceiving rice from across the Pacific and the continent, it ought to be, to its weight and nutritive and expansive properties, the cheap est article of food produced in America. Crop Prospects in Tennessee. Crop prospects in almost ever}' section ap pear to be looking as favorably as could pos sibly be wished, though throughoutthe South west there is more or less complaint of a lack of rain. Corn and cotton are both suf fering from this cause, particularly in Texas. In some portions of that State the inevitable chiuch bug has made its appearance. From the Northwest the information is favorable, if we except some reports from Northern Illinois and lowa, where it is said but little small grain is in sight yet. In the Middle States the prevalence of unseasonabty cold weather is a drawback ;so far, however, it has not been attended with any very serious results. Tobacco excepted, the prospects in our own State were never more favorable than at present.— Nash. American, 24 th ult. Take a Newspaper Rather than Whip Your Wife in Texas. In the State case against Lewis for whip ping his wife, the defendant was fined $lOO, which he is paying in jail. If he had taken the Montague News , that paper tells us, and read it in his moments of idleness, the devil would not have tempted him to chastise his better half. Just in this instance two dol -1 u*s judiciously spent for his county paper might have saved him over $lOO. It is hard to imagine what the devil will not put into the idle brain of a man who will not take a count\ r paper and pay for it. Bullock says he has several “ private in terests” in Georgia. THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. A reporter of the New York Herald has interviewed cx-Gov. Dix on the political sit uation. One portion of the ex-Governor’s conversation is worthy of remark. Speaking of a third party movement he said : Mr. Tilden would not be strong before the country. He is only known in connection with the paper fights against the Rings; but, unlike the comparative privacy of Pierce and Polk, his non-prominence will not be an ele ment of strength, because of late his support ers have made considerable noise about him. I don’t pay much heed to the Tilden and Bristow suggestion from Washington. Mr. Bristow is a very young man and a strong Republican. I should doubt the feasibility of securing him on that ticket. Mr. Tilden is not known at the South at all, and at the West he is known as a hard money man. Of course he will not satisfy the West. No hard money’ man can hope to please the in flationists, and on that rock it is quite prob able the party will split. It is said that the third party movement would derive its strength from the Republican voters, but look at it a moment. Suppose Mr. Tilden fails to get the St. Louis nomination and the infla tionists succeed in hoisting the name of Bill Allen, would the hard money men support that ticket ? Of course they wouldn't. The}' would meet and nominate another. That would make three tickets in the field. Reporter—And that means— General Dix—And that means that the election would be thrown into the House of Representatives, no choice being made by the people. This is not only possible, but probable. Bill Allen is an able man, ordi narily speaking. He was in the Senate with me in 1845-6-7—oh ! I guess twelve y’ears. I knew him very well, and think highly of him. He was a regular Benton hard money man then, and thought nothing was money but gold and silver. I can’t understand his change of base at all. Now, if he were to be nominated, it would make no difference who was second on the ticket, nor what the plat form was, there would be a split and a third ticket. Commenting on the above named inter view, the Augusta Chronicle tS’- Sentinel says— The twelfth amendment to the Constitution of the United States provides that unless a candidate for the Presidency receives a ma jority of all the votes cast, the election shall be thrown into the House of Representatives. Governor Dix believes that if the Democrats have two candidates in the field—represent ing the Hard Money and Soft Money factions —and the Republicans one, neither of the three will obtain a majorky of all the electo rial votes cast, and the election will have to be determined by the House of Representa tives. As the Democrats have a large ma jority in the House of Representatives, such a contingency would render the election of a Democrat to the Presidency a certainty. We understand that somewhat similar views are entertained by other veteran politicians. We sincerely hope that if we should be so unfortunate as to have a bolt at St. Louis the issue will be as favorable as Governor Dix imagines. Gen. Phil Cook Is one of the most genial gentlemen in the world, and has a rich vein of humor running from top to toe. Col. Waddell, of the Times, was in Washington a few day’s ago. and en joyed a little of the General’s wit—reported as follows in his paper : “ The other night at Washington, the ap propriation bill on naval affairs was under consideration. Mr. Blount, of Georgia—a most useful and industrious member of the Committee—had the bill in charge. Among others, there was a provision in it to appro priate raonoy to establish a naval rendezvous at Tybec or Cock-Spur Island. Geu. Banks thought he saw a ‘cat in the meal tub/ and that a lick was meant to be struck at the navy yard at Charlestown, Mass., and that its ex istence was endangered, lie made an able and patriotic speech against the recommenda tion of the committee, and towards the con clusion of his admirable speech, waxing elo quent, he said, “a strike at the Charlestown navy yards, sir, is a stroke at Bunker Hill Monument—beneath whose shadow the navy yard lies. And what sacreligious hand would tear one stone from that monument in this Centennial year ?” The speech—the best one of its length we heard—created a decided im pression. General Phil Cook, of Georgia, who ardently favored the Committee’s report, was the first to approach General Banks to congratulate him. Grasping his hand warmly, he said : “ General Banks, you have made a splendid speech; I have listened to it with delight; let me say' to you, sir, that we Geor gians have no wish to disturb one single stone of Bunker Hill Monument. It is the only’ one which was erected to perpetuate the mem ory of a defeat of American valor; but, sir, I tell you farther, that when you attempt to tear up Cock-Spur Island by the roots, you must cross over my dead body’!” Of course, a roar followed. To a proper appreciation of the above “ lit tle joke,” it must be borne in mind that the expression, “ Must cross over my dead body,” is about the identical language used by “Beast” F. Butler, in a speech made at the Charleston Convention of 1860, and which caused some of the Georgia “ boys” to throw up their hats for him. Asa democrat and professed friend of the South, he there made the declaration that the “ North” would have to “ cross over his dead body” in the attempt to subjugate the South. History proves the sequel. But then, he was not the only Ijock si ider. Remarkable Escape. From the Gwinnett Herald we learn that a number of people were going home from church a week or so ago, in that count) 7 ; among others was a Rev. Mr. Webb and another gentleman in a buggy, and behind them was a man riding a mule. As the par ty were chatting along, not dreaming of dan ger, a buggy suddenly dashed up behind them, and the mule in the rear, with one bound, jumped over the hind axle of the bug gy and landed between the wheels and the body ; his weight against the wheels turned the buggy over, and the mule and its rider, Mr. Webb and his companion, were all piled up in a heap in the road. There was a gen eral scuffling around to see who could get up first, and Mr. Webb, having fortunately land ed on top of the mule, was the first to get up, and in a minute all v including the mule, were on their feet, and nobody hurt. Newspaper Ethics. The following, from the Columbns Enquir er, has so much of “ common sense” in it—so much “ more truth than poetry”—and is so just a rebuke to the “ strain at a gnat and swallow a camel” policy of some people, that we are constrained to give it a place, simply that he who “ runs may read” and make up his opinion as to what is right and what is wrong, so far as this “ phase” of “ ethics” is concerned. We care nothing about Tilden or his “quoted matter”—are 110 apologist for him in any shape or form ; but if he wants to be brought into notice and is willing to pay for it, we see no more harm in publishing something in his favor than in publishing certificates of some Yankee patent medicine or some other lmmbuggery equally thin and transparent: About Newspaper Ethics.—A great deal has been said about it. The true system is that a newspaper proprietor can manage his own business to suit himself. lie does not enter the craft for fun, but to make a liveli hood and make money If he can—to manage his journal as he would any private business —to lead public opinion, if he can ; if not, to follow—for public opinion, as a rule, unless swayed by extraordinary passions, is correct. The people are led. Now, much hue anti cry’ has been raised against the Tilden luireau for sending out extracts favorable to Tilden for publication. It is not asked that they be inserted free, but as advertising in reading matter to be paid for. It is the purest busi ness transaction in the world. It is no more than the frequent cards we see signed “Many Citizens,” “Populus,” “Hosts of Friends,” favoring A, B, C, for Sheriff, Constable, Con gress, &c., for all of which a first-class journal demands pay. The bureau, if there bo such a thing, does not ask insertions in editorial columns; an editor can dissent if he chooses. The only thing required for a certain amount is to insert certain articles, extracts from oth er papers, as paid advertisements. Where lias newspaper ethics got anything to do with the matter. They r can insert opinions ofTom, Dick, Harry & Cos., but not of an influential journal. They could publish proclamations of Bullock, when they knew he was robbin" the State, and make enormous bills therefor, but it is a violation of newspaper ethics to insert as reading matter an extract from the Courier-Journal, Richmond Dispatch, and oth er leading journals, as reading matter, if of fered pay. Puff a candidate for a county or State office as much as you please, but you violate the ethics when you dare insert a paid paragraph for a Presidential candidate from a bureau. In the one case you are helping to manufacture public opinion and in the oth er likewise, but the former is wrong, say the “ ultraites” ; though both amount to the same thing. Fudge for such ethics. It may sound grandiloquent in words, but is not worth a tlirip in practice. Manage ymur business mat ters as any' other business—that’s sensible f ethics, and no matter what they say is the kind practiced. Ten Years of Faithful Love. Ten years ago, a young man was sent to the penitentiary from Marshall county, lowa. He was engaged to a worthy young woman, and when he went to prison she made the journey with him. lie was intoxicated when the crime was committed, and otherwise would not have committed it. The woman has kept her faith through all these years. She has regularly visited him, and for the past few years, has made constant efforts to procure his release ; but the Executive has turned a deaf ear to her entreaties, until a short time ago, she appealed to Gov. Kirkwood with such devoted zeal, that he granted her request, and, with the pardon in her possession, she hasten ed to the penitentiary and presented her pa pers. The prison doors swung open, and leaning on the arm of him she had lost and won, she made her exit, a happy smile wreath ing her face. Chaplain Williams courteously tendered his services to complete the fruition of their hopes ; but the patient maiden repli ed that, after ten years’ waiting, a few hours’ delay could be endured, so that her friends might share with her the joys of love's labor won. —Chicago Tribune. The Governorship About Settled. It seems to be a foregone conclusion that Gen. Av 11. Colquitt will be the Democratic nominee for the next Governor of Georgia, and per consequence this will make him the successor to Governor Smith. From all parts of the State this intelligence is, gather ed. The chances of Col. Hardeman have not improved much since the withdrawal of the name of Gov. Smith from the canvass, but Colquitt has made decided advances to the front, and, in our judgment is now cer tain to receive the nomination. If chosen, lie will make us a good Governor, one for whose career none need entertain any mis givings. He is eminently popular with the people, and for this reason the tricky politi cians pay him the most profound respect, and dare not make war on him. Mr. James, the Atlanta banker, still proclaims himself a candidate, and has been visiting about the country to some extent, trying to keep pace with Hardeman and Colquitt, who have been for some time “feeling” the public pulse by actual contact with the masses. Ret the re sult of the canvass be what it may we shall be content to abide the nomination and will cheerfully labor for the nominee, believing that Colquitt is destined to be the man.— Lumpkin Independent. The Sultan Dethroned. The great item of foreign news is the de thronment of the Turkish Sultan, and the elevation of the heir apparent in his stead. The first conclusion here , would naturally be that, as the Sultan, Abdul Assiz, has signa lized his entire reign by his liberal and Frankish proclivities, and in that way given great offence to the old orthodox Turkish reactionary party, the revolution would nat urally be unfavorable to the preservation of peace in the existing crisis. But it is clear from the Baris and London dispatches, and the advance in Turkish securities in those markets, that an opposite view is taken at those great financial and political centres. Georgia Clippings. o f A Marietta girl said she would rather be a dozen widows than one old maid. Rev. D. J.

If our farmers are correct in their esti mate. the wheat crop has been cut short at least one third by the Hessian fly and rust.— Greensboro ’ Herald. Georgia has the honor of claiming the first ripe peaches of the season. They were grown at West Point, and were sent to the Atlanta Constitution. Mr. J. W. Cram, a Conj'ers druggist, took morphine instead of quinine on Mon day”. After a severe struggle his life was saved. Judge Nathan Anderson, ordinary of Ca toosa county, says he always uses the money arising from the sale of marriage licenses to buy coffee, that it is thereby improved in flavor. A young lady said the other day : “ I wish they’d organize another society of the Patrons of Husbandry. The fellows are mighty slow about proposing these times.”— Albany News. The citizens of Georgia should remember that the questions of a Constitutional Con vention and the bogus bonds will have to be settled in the primary meetings. No county should elect a member of the Legislature uninstructed upon these vital issues. Gov. Hubbard, of Texas, is not a native of Abbeville, S.

Wheat is being harvested in Middle Geor gia. and the yield in most instances is good. Oats arc very promising and will help make the corn and cotton crops.

Griffin, of Fort Valley', through his attor ney’s, Wimpy & Smith, has entered a suit for damages to the amount of SIO,OOO, against the Surgical Institute of this city'. It is al leged that while the plaintiff was under treat ment at the Institute his left heel was burnt ofF by injudicious treatment and neglect. Mr. Richard Lavender, who resides near Stephensville, in this county, lost one of his eyes last Saturday by the bursting of a per cussion cap. He was cleaning and repairing an old shot gun and burst a cap on the tube to try the efficiency of the lock, holding the gun at the time near his face, when a frag ment of the cap penetrated the eye and de stroyed the sight forever. We agree with the Quitman Reporter. The prettiest girls wear their hats square on the top of their heads. That is the case in Sa vannah, any way. Nearly all the ugly girls wear their little hats tied on the back of the neck, while the pretty ones, who seem to know so well how to add to their beauty, wear their hats where they were made to be worn ; and some of them give a piquant and picturesque turn to the whole affair by ever so slight an incliuation to one side.— Harris. A gentleman in the city say’s that when he was moving from Barbour county, Ala baraa; to Jackson county, Texas, he carried with him an ox, which he worked during the fall and winter. In the spring he turned the ox out to graze and he strayed off. On his return to Barbour on a visit he found that the ox had gone back to his former home, a distance between 800 and a 1,000 miles. He also had a “sandy” sow that returned to her former rooting grounds after having been carried in a box a distance of 300 miles.— Columbus Enquirer. Cure Vonrselves.
