Ex. Committee of the county of Jackson, a large number of citizens from all sections of the county convened in the Court House, at Jefferson, on Saturday, 15th inst. Col. Pike called the meeting to order and explained the object in view, namely, the selection of delegates to the Gubernatorial State Convention, to meet in Atlanta on the 2d of August next; when, on motion of W. J. Colquitt, Esq., Capt. Rob't White was call ed to the Chair, and on motion of Rev. W. F. Stark, M. Stafford was requested to act as Secretary. Business now being in order, Col. Pike moved that the meeting proceed bv primal election, by ballot, to vote for the man of then choice for Governor—the delegates then to be selected in accordance with the wishes of the meeting as manifested in said election. After discussion, participated in by Rev. AY. F. Stark, Cols. Pike, Silman and others, the question was called for and carried. On motion of Mr. Roberts, tellers were ap pointed by the Chairman, to conduct the elec tion : Messrs. J. J. McCulloch, J. S. Hunter and W. A. Worsham being selected for that purpose. Nomination of candidates being called for, Capt.T. C. Williams put in nomination the name of Gen. A. IT. Colquitt, for Governor. After sufficient time had elapsed for all to vote—and after “proclamation” made to all those within hearing to come up and cast their ballots, the polls closed, the votes were counted, and the result announced as follows : Colquitt, - - - - 95 Johnson, .... 8 Hardeman, - -3 James, ----3 Moved by Col. Pike, that the meeting now elect four delegates by acclamation. Adopt ed. The following gentlemen were accord ingly nominated and elected, separately— each assenting to serve as lie was nominat ed : Hugh Hancock, Esq., Col. J. B. Silman, Capt. D. A. Camp and Hon. J. M. Potts. Moved and adopted, that the delegates be authorized to select their own alternates, should any necessity arise therefor. W. C. Howard, Esq., then made some sug gestive remarks as to a more perfect organi zation of the Democratic party of the county. Prof. Glenn also suggested that this would be quite an opportune time for the Democrats of the county to give some expression of their sentiments and feelings as to the St. Louis Convention and the nominations there made. Col. Pike here took the floor, and after some remarks explanatory of the “ situation” as regarded the party organization of the county, moved that the Chair appoint a com mittee composed of one from each Militia District, to name suitable persons as Wee- Presidents of the County Executive Commit tee ; each of whom, by virtue of their office, will be chairman of their respective District Committees; and that the committee ap pointed by the chair as aforesaid, be author ized to present suitable resolutions ratifying the Democratic nominations at St. Louis, the Platform adopted, &c. This motion was adopted, whereupon the Chair proceeded to appoint the committee, as follows: Town District —W. C. Howard, Esq. House’s Dist. —James GufFm. Harrisburg —Hon. J. M. Potts. Newtown —A. Sailors. Chandler’s —Capt. A. C. Thompson. Clarkesborongh —R. 11. Boon. Harmony Grove —Jasper N. Wood. Cut Ojf —Adolphus Durham. Cunningham’s —ll. C. Appleby. Randolph's —Col. AV. I. Pike, (proxy.) Miller's —Rev. AV. F. Stark. Santa Fee —Rob’t Espy. The committee then retired for consulta tion, pending which, on motion of Capt. T. C. AVilliams, the meeting adjourned to assem ble again at the call of Sheriff Hunter. At the call of 11 is Honor, the high Sheriff, after a recess of some twenty or thirty min utes, the meeting again convened and was called to order by the Chairman, when the committee above named, through their chair man, AV. C. Howard, Esq., submitted the names of the following gentlemen as Vice- Presidents of the County Executive Commit tee : Miller s District —G. E. Deadwyler. Cunningham's district —J. F. Harrison. Newtown district —AAA AV. Jackson. House's district —L. Y. Bradberry. Wilson's district —D. L. Hancock. Santa Fee district —S. G. Arnold. Harmony Grove dis. —AV. B. J. Hardeman. Jack Randolph dist.— J. 11. Rhinehardt. Jefferson district —W. C. Howard. Harrisburg district —AV. J. Colquitt. Chandler s district —A. C. Thompson. Clarkesboro’ district —R. H. Boon. The following resolutions were also, at the same time, submitted through Mr. Howard, chairman of committee: Resolved, By the Democracy of Jackson county, in Convention assembled, that in the election of the men nominated at St. Louis, on the platform adopted, we recognize the only hope of this country for political reform and a return to the practice of political eeon- omy in the administration and perpetuation of the admirable system of Government be queathed to us by the statesmen and heroes of 177 G, and we hereby pledge our most hearty support to Hon. Samuel J. Tilden for Presi dent. and Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks for \ ice-PresklenY., believing that if elected their energies and influence will be exerted suc cessfully to inaugurate and perfect that grand system of Government reform demanded by all true patriots throughout the land, and which is so ably set fortli in the platform adopted at St. Louis. Resolved. That while the Democracy of Jackson recognize the ability and patriotism and appreciate the services rendered the conn try by lion. 11. V. Johnson and Cot. Thomas Hardeman, and also the sterling integrity, financial iff and usefulness of Hon, J. 11. James, still, it is the generally expressed de sire of the people of this county that Gen. A. H- Colquitt should he placed at the head of onr State Government in the approaching election, and believing as we do that lie is eminently suited to the high trust and grave responsibility of the Governor’s office by rea son of his ability, probity of character, his familiarity with the condition and wants of the people in all sections of our State, and his earnest labors in behalf of the agricultural interests of the people, his Roman firmness and undaunted courage, we hereby declare this our illustrious fellow-citizen, to ho onr choice for Governor, and instruct our dele gates this day selected to represent us in the Convention to meet August 2d, to nominate a candidate for Governor, to support General Colquitt in the Convention so long as there is a reasonable hope for his nomination. On motion, the report of the committee was adopted unanimously. At this point, Col. J. B. Silman was loudly called for. The Col. in returning thanks for the compliment paid him and in apologizing for his inability, from several causes, to make a speech, on the occasion, gave the meeting the benefit of some pointed and forcible reflections. Held up to view, in vivid colors, the various in dictments now pending against the Republi can party, and urged upon all to do their whole duty at the ballot-box, in wresting from these vile corruptionists the “reins” of the Federal government. Col. S. closed his cogent and well-directed remarks amid the enthusiastic apjilause of his hearers, when AY. C. Howard, Esq., was called for. The Judge arose and stated that, though no poli- tician, he felt bound to take up the “cudgel” in defence of “.truth and right” before the people, whenever called upon. ’Squire How ard gave the meeting a short but most sensi ble and timely “ talk” ; referring especially to those who supinely fold their arms and quietly say they do not feel disposed to take any interest in the politics of the day. He admonished all to goto work—to rally to the old Democratic banner—and send up such a “tidal wave” from Georgia next fall, as would make her influence felt all over the land, and entitle her indeed and in truth to the proud distinction and appellation of the “Empire State !” Mr. 11. took his seat cheered and applauded by all present. It was then moved and adopted, that the proceedings of the meeting be published in the county paper, and that the papers in adjoining and neighboring counties be most respectfully requested to copy. On a motion to adjourn, the Chairman, Capt. A\ r hite, begged the indulgence of the meeting for a few minutes. He then, in a happy, felicitous style, thanked his friends for the honor conferred at their hands ; coun selled a thorough organization of the party in Jackson county ; reminded all present of the interest and harmony prevailing, as man ifested by the large meeting to-day, and dos ed by urging the Executive Committee to spare no means in bringing back to its pris tine power and usefulness the “ Harmonious Democracy of Jackson county.” Adjourned.

There is not in the wide world, a city so sweet, As the city of Atlanta, where law-makers meet; Oh, the last rays of feeling and life must depart. Ere the days 1 have spent here shall fade from my heart. Yet, it is not that Owens serves finest of snacks, Good ven'son, fresh oysters, and fat canvas-backs; It is not the sweet nectar he gives us to swill; Oh, no, it is something more exquisite still. ’Tis that Capitol rising in grandeur on high, Where greenbacks by thousands bcwitchingly lie. Gives a charm to the scene where we figure away. To the sweetest of tunes, sirs—seven dollars a day. Oh, this spot was so sacred our fathers loved it. And they writ down enactments 'gainst serving a tcrif. So that Sheriffs, and other base limbs of the law. Must not tap here our shoulders nor give us their jaw. Sweet city of Atlanta, how calm coidd I rest, In the midst of thy mists, near the great public chest, AYhcre the cares which we feel in this hard world are lost, While we drink and carouse, sirs, at other men's costs. Then push round the bottle ? yc lovers of fun. Never heed here that spectre of ill called a dun ; Should he ask his “ small balance,” we’ll hid him to wait Till we've got all the balance of funds from the State. B. L. A. Gov.

Mr. Editor :—A'our correspondent had the fortune lately, while perambulating over the county, to meet that far-famed and highly re nowned character, Polly Tic ks. Entertain ing a profound regard for the sagacity, the forecast and the eminently fascinating man •J O ncr of the venerable person into whose au gust presence he had fallen, the correspond ent proceeded to interview that celebrated in dividual thusly: Correspondent—“ AVill you please tell us how you think the political campaign, which has just opened upon ns, will terminate in its effects upon the c dull fry ? ITow will parties stand afterwards? AA’hich will win? AYill times be any better ? Or will they be worse after the election ?” Polly—“ AYorse ; incomparably worse, if the present incumbents of office or their party should be continued in power. A'enality, vice, corruption in a hundred forms lias crept into high places, and now stalks abroad with such unblushing boldness that it ceases to appear hideous. So well marshalled—so thoroughly disciplined arc its forced, that its abuses and outraged, and its cruel oppressions are fast becoming intolerable. Nothing can prevent a dire catastrophe, unless it be an emphatic rebuke at the ballot-box. To avert such threatened calamity and secure such rebuke, is no child's play. To successfully combat so vast a corps of well-trained forces as 80,- 000 office-holders and their 210.000 more ad herents, banded together by the cohesive pow er of public plunder, and posted at every im portant point in the country, from the Lakes to the Gulf and from Ocean to Ocean —to de feat an adversary possessing such advantages would, but for that finer sense of right which ever and anon assorts itself in every mind, require a strategy superior to any ever yet displayed in the history of the past. Still, there is reason to hope. Even in the darkest hour, “ Hope springs eternal in the human breast.” I have not lost confidence in the intelli gence and patriotism of the “American peo ple.” A sense of propriety—a returning sense—will yet arouse them from lethargy, and make them hurl from place the authors of misfortune, and disappoint the expecta tions of those who have already numbered the days of free institutions in this country. I am sanguine of the ultimate triumph of Dem ocratic principles.” Correspondent—“Do you think the Demo cratic party exempt from these vices?” Folly—“ Unfortunately, no. It is not, like Cresar's wife, above suspicion. But the evils under which the country writhes have attain ed their present magnitude by concerted ac tion—by organized villainy. And if the Dem ocratic party were even as bad as their op. ponents, the country would be relieved by placing the power in its hands, and could breat he freer while it, were disciplining to the point to which the Republicans have been sixteen years in arriving.” Correspondent—“ AY ljat do you think of State and county matters ?” Folly—“I think much greater prominence is given them than they now deserve. The Legislature is now become practically almost a useless institution. At a heavy expense to the State, great waste of time and money by candidates and their friends, and the most flagrant evils to the country, it meets once a year, and positively no good is accomplished except a season of healthful recreation and pleasant intercourse is afforded to members. The greatest service that; could be rendered to the people of the State by the Attorney General, would be by his filing an Informa tion calling upon the Legislature to show cause at the next term of the Supreme Court, at the State Capitol, why it should not be abated as a public nuisance. Such a proceed ing might —probably would —provoke strenu ous opposition from men of first standing in the country. But the times imperatively de mand it. The body is regarded in an im portant light by many of the best citizens. And such men as Judge White, Capt. Ben nett, Capt,. Williams, Ben Silrnan, Bose Duke, Jim McLcster, Maj. Hudson, Dr. Sanders, Mac Potts and Mr. Bradbcrry being mention ed in connection with the place, shows that it is considered a suitable place for the very best. These men all possess brass sufficient to do good service wherever forensic ability is valuable, and they arc not without that other commodity, brains; sometimes called into requisition in legislation. But it is to be feared that they will mistake the dictates of patriotism if they yield to the solicitude manifested and become candidates. The Le gislature can— will —do no good. It is sug gested that these gentlemen would act much more patriotically if they would turn their at tention in another direction. The country has lately suffered —is now suffering from the disastrous effects of severe freshets. Desola tion and ruin are all that is left in places.— Crops, soil, fences and bridges are all gone. Starvation threatens many places. A remedy is loudly called for. The Legislature can not administer one. The Grangers possess the only known means of relief. It is sug gested that these gentlemen unite with the s TERMS, $2.00 PER ANNUM. / SI.OO FOR SIX MONTHS. Grangers, assemble in Grand Council and repeal the freshet." lour correspondent then had Jo separate from his distinguished friemLon necou nt of the press of persons who gathered around. If T again have an opportunity to hear his views, you shall be duly posted. . Occasion a r, Col. Hardeman Retires. Editors Mvcon Ttdegraph Messenger: —- It is evident from the returns of primary meetings in different counties that I am not the choice of a majority of the citizens of Georgia (or Executive honors. Recognizing this faet, though other counties yet to act would add to my list of supporters, it would not change tlie result. It would therefore be folly in me to continue longer in the canvass, thereby injuring 1113- friends and creating, un necessarily, further division in the Demo cratic party. Believing, as I do, that the will of the majority should govern, I cannot consent to remain longer in an attitude of seeming opposition to that will, reiving upon a contingency that might happen under the operation of the two-thirds rule, to thwart it, and thereby place in position someone who is not the choice of the people. I cannot be a part}’ to any such arrangement, for it is against my sense of justice and of right, and I therefore retire from the canvass, bowing submissively to the verdict of the people. In so doing 1 would not intimate to those friends, who have been selected in my interest, how the} 7 should act in the premises, for I am well aware that their intelligence and patriotism will guide them in that line of conduct which will result in good to the party and benefit to the people. In retiring, allow me to say to those counties who have honored me as their choice, I mean all that language will convey when I say I heartily thank you for your gen erous confidence. To the press I return my grateful acknowledgments ; to some for their disinterested support, toothers for the manly, courteous and kind opposition they have given me. True, a very small number have by their personal allusions and unkind insinuations in jured me, but in so doing they have not ele vated the character of their journals or grown in the esteem of a fair minded public. To those Jr tends, who for months gave me en couraging assurances of confidence and sup port, then abandoned me and joined my op ponents, I will only say I freely forgive you, knowing as I do that human nature cannot withstand the blandishments of position and the allurements of office. To the Democratic party I would speak 011 c word. Let not en vies or jealousies enter your ranks and divide your forces. The contest we arc about to enter will require united efforts to ensure a victory. In the past I have labored zealous ly for harmony in our ranks, knowing it was essential to success. For that harmony I would sacrifice personal ambition to-day— preferring party success to personal eleva tion, at the expense of that party. I shall, therefore, not cease my efforts in that direc tion in the future, but, as a private in the ranks, will still be found ever willing to strike “with might and main'’ for Democratic unity and victory.
