DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The State Executive Committee has ap
pointed the 2d day of August as the time
when, and Atlanta as the place where the Con
vention shall meet for the nomination of a
Democratic candidate for Governor and Pres
idential Electors.
We, in common with others, had hoped and
expected that the Convention would be call
ed a* an earlier day. We think it would have
been best. The party should be thoroughly
organized, and the sooner wc commence the
more time wc will have ; and to concentrate
forces, we must have leaders. It is true that
the cause is a common one, and we all have
the good of it at heart; still, experience
teaches that, to marshal hosts, there must be
a leader. We woidd have been pleased with
an arrangement that would have given us a
full Presidential ticket by the first or middle
of July. Again: it would, in our judgment,
have been wen for us to have disposed of
local or State politics before August 2d. Wc
believe the people arc prepared to-day to vote
in primary meetings for Governor—and the
main contest for that office, as we had occa
sion to say a few weeks ago, will be by the
people in their selection of delegates to the
Convention ; because the party will vote en
masse for the nominee, if he is fairly nomi
nated by delegates who, by their ballots, re
flect the wishes of their constituents.
As soon as such a nomination is made, the
absorbing question of who will be Governor
will be virtually determined, and the party
can then attend to the other duties of the
hour, one of which is the election of a Presi
dent—a question compared with which all
other questions sink into insignificance, and
it behooves us to marshal our forces in solid
phalanx for the mighty contest.
For these reasons we had hoped that the
Executive Committee would have appointed
an earlier day, but as they have in their wis
dom said August the 2d, wc gracefully yield,
and like the old gentleman whose oxen ran
away with him and broke his leg, we feel that
“bein’ it’s no better, we arc glad it’s no
worse.”
In the meantime, we do hope that Hie Dem
ocratic candidates for Governor, and their
friends, will recognize the fact that but one
of them can get the nomination this time, and
that while this is true, that the lucky one,
who ever he may be, is their brother—belongs
to the same family, the Democracy—and that
by him the office will be honestly and faith
fully administered. We want to see no strife,
nor bickerings, nor bitter personal feelings
exhibited by the candidates or their friends
in this contest. The Committee have ap
pointed the day. and doubtless from their
standpoint they believed it was opportune.
We do not believe that anybody’s chances
were intended to be compromised; we be
lieve that their action was, after mature de
liberation, considered by them wise, and for
the best interests of the party, the State and
the whole country. Ample time is given for
the holding of primary meetings in the differ
ent counties. The people should avail them
selves of the opportunity thus given them to
speak their minds on the question. Let them
all attend these meetings, and see to it that
their wishes are expressed in the Convention
of August 2d.
Hon. B. H. Hill.
Is it not about time, say’s the Atlanta Com
monwealth, for this gentleman’s detractors to
begin to open their batteries upon him for his
silence? The prediction was, when he first
took his scat in Congress, that he would
speak ns and himself to death. It so hap
pened that an evil conjuncture, most pur
posely and wickedly precipitated, forced Mr.
Hill to his feet soon after he made his ap
pearance in the House. While we have an
atom of self-respect left in our souls, our
hearts will leap and the proud blood bound at
the thought of how our champion did his work
on that memorable trial of human patience
and manly honor. The popular sense of jus
tice and vindicated self-respect would not
tolerate any disparagement or decrial of this
magnificent display of grand ability. The
whole South had an eternal property in the
victory which Hill achieved for us, over a
proud and cruel foe that was rioting in a
spirit of oppression and outrage. But it was
whispered around by the men who had made
up their minds against being pleased, that
their predictions were in process of speedy
fulfillment, and that Mr. Hill would ruin us.
But with the exception of a running debate
on the pension bill, in which he showed that
the “Hartford Convention* originated Seces
sion, and that glorious letter written to a
friend in Illinois, we have not had a word
from Mr. Hill since he became a member of
the House of Bcprescntatives.
These croakers aud prophets of evil are
beginning to fear their medicine has had too
much ellect. I hey, themselves, are getting
hungry for something more from Mr. Hill.
We hope he will still put faith in his own
sense and power to run his own machine. He
was not scared out of his sense of duty when
he spoke that immortal vindication of his peo
ple, and we hope he will not be qjged to re
spond to captious demands on the part of
those who are as incapable of appreciating
him in his noble displays of power as in his
nobler moments of silence and self-repres
sion.
Master Willie Heard, son of John T. Heard,
Esq., of the Bethesda neighborhood, is a
prodigy m the way’ of small boys. He is in
his 11th .year, and weighs barely 23 pounds.
He is a student in Union Point Academy,
stands well in his classes, and has made more
than ordinary progress in his studies. lie
is really a bright little fellow. What is still
more remarkable, he has two little sisters,
one six years old, and weighs about 18
pounds, the other four y’ears, and weighs
about 13 pounds. They 7 are both very spright
ly, and intellectual.
A Bit of Experience.
“Good-natured editing,” says some wise
man, “spoils half the papers in the United
States.” Yea, verily. “Will you please
publish the poetry I send ?” says one ; “it is
my first effort;” and some crude lines go in
to encourage budding genius.
“ Our church is in great peril,” says anoth
er ; “will you publish our appeal,” and a long
dolorous plea is inserted.
“ father took your paper for twenty
years,” writes another ; “ I think you ought
to publish the resolutions passed by the ses
sion of the Big Brake church when he died
and in goes resolutions of no interest to a
majority of the readers.
“ I am particularly anxious that the views
I present should go before the church this
week.” Out go a covey of small pithy -con
tributions to make room for three columns
from a ponderous D. D.
“ There is an immediate necessity for the
exposure of one who is a bitter enem}* to the
truth,” writes another, as he sends an attack
upon an antagonist which will fill an entire
page.
“I am about to publish a book identifying
the great image of brass, iron and clay, and
I would be obliged to you to publish the ad
vance sheets of the fifth chapter, which T
herewith enclose to 3’ou.”
“Why do you not publish in full R’sgreat
speech in the general assembly ? It would
increase your circulation largely.”
“If }’ou publish the sermon I transmit to
you I will take eight extra copies.”
“The church must be aroused on the sub
ject of foreign missions,” says a pastor, as he
forwards the half of his last Sabbath’s ser
vices. A good-natured editor surrenders to
them at once, and they go away happy, ut
terly unconscious that they have helped to
spoil the paper.— Presbyterian.
Let Justice Be Done.
We have conversed with many of the lead
ing citizens of our county, (says the Oyle
thorpe Echo, of a late date,) and find them to
be a unit in favor of reimbursing the Messrs.
Howard for the expense they incurred in cap
turing the men who stole their horses. They
very properly say that were it not for the un
tiring exertions used by these gentlemen and
a few friends, and the consequent outlay of
money, the thieves would doubtless have made
good their escape, and in all probability every
good horse in the county eventually carried
off. In fact. Charles Kelty acknowledged to
his captors that every first-class animal in the
county was “spotted” by them, and they in
tended so soon as they disposed of one lot to
return for others. But their capture put a
quietus to this programme. Then is it not
justice that our people should, by private con
tribution, help share the expense of forever
removing their stock from the danger of “ap
propriation” by such a desperate and deter
mined band of outlaws? Wc feel assured
that every man in the county who possesses
an ounce of justice will heartily answer aye-
SYPWe are not posted exactly as to the
real aid our young friends, Messrs. Hugh and
Dock Hancock, rendered in this matter, but
are fully persuaded that the prompt and
timely pursuit of the gang after they took Mr.
J. IL Hancock’s buggy, had a good deal to
do with the eventual capture of Ed. and Chas.
Kell}*, and the disorganizing, for the time be
ing, at least, of this band of outlaws, together
with their well laid plans for future opera
tions.—[Ed. Forest News.
Gwinnett Sup. Court—Adjourned Term.
An adjourned term of the Superior Court
of Gwinnett County convened on Monday of
last week, to try, what is known as the “How
ell Will Case,” and which, according to the
Gwinnett Herald, has been on the docket for
some y'ears. The case, important as it ap
pears to be, was, on account of absence of
two witnesses for the defence, continued to
another adjourned term to be held some time
in the fall. The Herald in speaking of mat
ters connected with the Court, has this to
say concerning the men charged with the
mnrder of the two old negroes,—an account
of which was given in these columns some
time since :
Some surprise was manifested that no
action was taken by 7 the jury in reference to
the parties in jail, but it was ascertained that
Cadle, the main witness, in the case against
Scott and Wooten, had made another revela
tion, in which he stated that his testimony
before the committing court, which we pub
lished at the time, was false, and that he knew’
nothing about the killing of the two '-old ne
groes. This change in his story 7 surprised
everybody, as he had, only 7 that morning,
told a member of the Grand Jury that hTs
story was true. In view of this sudden
change of tactics on the part of Cadle, no
action was taken by the Grand Jury.
After the adjournment of court, Scott and
Wooten were brought before Judge Rice on
a writ of habeas corpus, and the affidavit of
Cadle was presented, in which he swore that
his former testimony was false. Under this
state of facts, the Judge admitted both Scott
and Wooten to bail. They gave the bond
promptly and were discharged from custody.
Sympathy for Newspapers.
The Augusta Chronicle <$- Sentinel, puts
the matter thus forcibly on this subject. We
commend the sentiment to the careful con
sideration of our friends :
There is but one way for the people to
show their sympathy* for a newspaper, and
that is by sustaining it—by subscribing for
and advertising in it. This is practical
sympathy, and any other kind is not worth
having. When a man says he sympathizes
witii a paper ask how much he sympathizes.
Does lie sympathize to the amount of a cash
subscription or an advertisement, or to the
extent of assisting to increase its circulation
or its advertising patronage ?

there is a saying of the entire cost

3d.—The clothes are made SWEET, CLEAN and

washing is done in about half the usual time.
It is also guaranteed under a penalty of fifty
dollars not to injure the clothes or hands, and as
one trial will enable any person to ascertain the
truth of these statements, it would never pay the
proprietor to engage in an extensive system of ad

it would prove to be in every respect what is

Butter in 20 Minutes.
LINCOLN BUTTER POWDER is an entire
harmless article made from a celebrated DVj
recipe, and now in daily use by many
noted farmers in the butter counties around
delphia. flC fc
In hot weather this Powder makes butter t
firmer and sweeter than it usually is,
from turning rancid. Jt also removes the
flavor of turnips, garlic, weeds, com I
seed, etc. ; and the increased yield of butter
more than pays the trifling expense of using
35 cents per package.
