The Democratic campaign in Indiana
opens brilliantly. Two hundred speakers,
several of them of fine national reputation,
took the stump on Saturday. The campaign
thus begun will be vigorously pushed until

Hon. H. P. Ball, Cumming Ga.:
Dear Sir : — At a conqention of the Dem
ocratic party of the Ninth Congressional Dis
trict held this day in this city, you were
unanimously nominated as the Democratic
candidate to represent the district in the for
ty-seventh congress, and the undersigned were
appointed a committee to notify you of this
action and to request your acceptance.
In performing this pleasant duty, permit
us to Gate that your selection, as the stand
ard bearer of the democratic parly, was put
a response to the demand from ail parts of
the district for your return to pnbjio life, and
is a tribute to your past service to the coun
try, and your fidelity and unflinching devo
tion t<> the great principles of the democrat
ic party.
A.'king your acceptance of the nomination,
and tendering you, iu behalf of the democ
racy of the district, a cordial, united and
zealous support, we are yours, very respect
fully, H. W. Cannon, 3
J. E. Redwine, > Com.
Calvin George, S
Gumming, Ga., August 20th, 1380.
Messrs. 11. W. Cannon, J. E. Redwine, and
Calvin George, committee: Gentlemen—
Yourfavorofthe 10th inst. did not reach
me until yesterday. You inform me that, at
a convent o i of :h democratic party of the
ninth district, held on that day in Gaines
ville, I was unanimously nominated as the
democratic candidate to represent the dis
trict in the 47th congress. You state that
my selection as the standard bearer of the
party was but a response to the demand from
all parts of the district for iny return to puli
lie life, and request my acceptance of the
position to which the party has assigned me.
Recognizing, to the fullest extent, the right
of the people to select their candidates in
their own way, and my obligations to obey
their call, I accept the nomination. I ap
prove the resolutions adopted by the conven
tion. The first endorses the nomination of
Hancock ami Engligh for the office of I’resi
dent and Vice-President. In my judgment
it is the best selection that could have been
made. Hancock is a statesman-and soldier,
as wise in counsel as he is brave in battle.
His candidacy eliminates from the canvass
the sectional element, and his election will
guarantee an honest, and faithful administra
tion of the government to all parties in all
sections of our common country. The sec
ond resolution expresses the thanks of the
people of the district to Gen. Phillip Cook, for
his manly defense of them in the House of
Representatives, against the false charge of
lawlessness. He certainly deserves tho grat
itude of the people of the district. It is the
first l ime they were ever subjected to the ne
cessity of having to rely upon the represen
tative of another district to defend their rights
and their honor. A constituency that has
been represented by men like Cobb, Hillyor,
Jackson, Hill and Price, feels deeply this
humiliation.
Born and brought up in the ninth district
a tii.er of the roil, identified with the labor
ing masses in the struggle of toil and the pri
vations of poverty, having mingled my blood
with that of her gallant sons in battle, I
could not deceive them for their votes, desert
them when assailed, nor betrayed them when
elected. If elected the people of the district
of all parties may rest assured that they
will not be compelled to rely for their defense
upon the representative of another district.
The fourth resolution recommends the
adoption of the majority rule in future con
ventions. I have uniformly opposed the two
thirds rule as wrong in principle and unwise
in policy. It defeats the popular choice in
the selection of candidates, and should, for
that reason, be abandoned. In addition to
the support of democratic principles and pol
iejy I must be allowed to say that there are
certain special measures with which I was
identified in the forty-fifth congress, and in
the success of which I feel a profund inter
est. Among these is the bill granting pen
sions to the soldiers of the Indian and Mex
ican wars. The Mexican war is one of the
most brilliant in history. Its victories add
ed an empire to our domains. It is a shame
that the government persistently withholds
from these brave old men the pension which
their services and valor so richly deserve.
The bill providing for the distribution of the
proceeds arising from the sale of the public
lands among the several States, upon the ba
sis of illiteracy, for educational purposes, is
of the first importance to both races in the
South. Under its provisions, Georgia would
receive about one hundred thousand dollars,
ten thousand dollars of which the ninth dis
trict would receive for the education of the
people. I adhere to the opinion that the
volume of the currency is inadequate to the
wants and necessities of the American poo
pie, and that the National Batik notes should
be substituted by greenbacks. But mv
views upon the financial question are known
to the people of the district, ami I cannot
discuss them in this letter.
it is mv purpose to discuss before the peo
ple of the district the issues involved in this
canvass. My past ofiicial action in congress
is the pledge I offer for the future. I can
not close this letter without returning, through
you, to the people of the district mv grate :
fill acknowledgment for the uniform support
they have given me in the past. And thank
ing you, gentlemen, for tiie very kind terms
in which you have conveyed to me the action
of the people in convention, lam very re
spectfully, \ r our Goedient servant.

Kr Norwood.
The following sketch of Mr. Norwood ap
pears iu the Nevv Illustrated Universal
Cyclopedia, and is from the pen of Hon.
Alexander. H. Stephens. It is a tribute of
which any man might be proud, coming, as it
does, from so distinguished a source :
“ Thomas Mason Norwood was born in
Talbot county, Georgia, April 26, 1830; re
ceived an academic education at Cnlloden,
Monroe county, and graduated at Emory
College, Oxford, Ga., in 1850; was admitted
to the bar in February, 1852; opened an
office at Savannah in March 1857; was a
member of the State legislature from the
county of Chatham in 1861-2; was alternate
elector for the State at large on the Seymour
and Blair ticket in 1868, and* was elected to
the United States Senate for sin years from
March 4,187 L 1 1 is seat was contested by
Foster Blodgett, but was finally awarded to
Mr. Norwood December 19, 1371. Hr. Nor
wood is a democrat. Asa writer and an
orator lie is distinguished by purity of lan
guage and elegance of style, as well as
scholarly at ted nme tits. II is newspaper articles
•n the political canvass of 1870, over the
signature of “ Nemesis,” are among the finest
specimens of polished invective of the genera
tion. The same may be said of his speeches
delivered in United-States Senate.”
Judge Herschel V. Johnson.
The news of the death of Judge Herschel
V. Johnson will be* received with, painful
surprise by the people of Georgia, who have
for years regarded him as one of their fore
most men. We have been prepared by no
intimation of Judge Johnson’s illness for
such a melancholy result. His health recently
has not been of the best, but his friends hoped
that his wisdom and experience might bo
spared to the State for many years to come.
Governor Johnson was a native of Burke
county, in this State. He was born in Septem
ber, 18i2, and was graduated at our Stste
University. lie soon exhibited that ability
in professional and public life that his college
oareergave promise of, but residing in a county
where his political party was in a fixed
minority, he was not honored with official
station until it came from the people of the
whole State. So much character did he make
in the heated presidential campaign of 1840-44,
that he became at once prominent for Gov
ernor of Georgia. So high did he stand that
Governor Towns appointed him to the vacancy
in the United States Senate caused by the
resignation of Walter T. Colquitt, but his
political party being in a minority at the next
biennial session of the Legislature he was
not elected. He was Judge of the Oemulgee
Circuit for four years, and, in 1853. was elected
over Charles J. Jenkins, Governor of the State
of Georgia, and re-elected in 1855. He went
out of office in November, 1857, and was not
again called into public life until after the
division in the national democracy in IS£O,
when lie became a candidate for Vice-Presi
dent on the ticket with Stephen A. Douglas.
He was a member of the State Convention
of I Til. and there brought all his ability to
bear to defeat the ordinance of secession.
Secession becoming a fixed fact, he went with
ids State, and was elected a member of the
Confederate Senate, where he remained until
the close of the war. He then retired to his
home on his plantation in Jefferson count}',
uid remained in retirement until lie was
appointed to the juageship of the Middle
Oircu’t in January, 1873, to which he was
elected in January, 1870, and which position
lie held at the time of his death. Few
Georgians have held so many and so im
portant high official positions as Governor
Johnson, and none have given greater satis
■ action or reflected greater lustre on his State.
He was a statesman in the broadest mean
ing of that form, and one of the purnst men
that ever lived. Be did not lack ambition,
but all liis aspirations were of that finer sort
that contemplate not the promotion of selfish
ends, but the welfare of humanity and the
good of ids country. lie was retiring, and,
lor a public man, really diffident. liis mod
esty was of that precious sort which give hu
mility to the greatest minds. He liked to
live away from the hurly-burly of politics,
and yet iie was always ready with liis advice
and counsels. Throughout a long trying
public career Judge Johsou never wounded
ilia own conscience, which was as sensitive
t.o the demands of justice and honor as that
of a martyr of old. Whatever honor the peo
pie conferred upon him he returned to them
tenfold. In liis death Georgia has lost one
of her purest and best citizens—a man who
ranked with the foremost of American states
men.—Atlanta Constitution.
“Cut Him Dawn 11”
Mil Editor :—I learn that Mr. Norwood,
the self-recommended, minority candidate for
Governor, is seeking support among colored
voters ; and that ho is professing great sym
pathy for the colored convicts.
A short time since, when Mr. Norwood had
no idea that his election would depend on
colored votes, what sympathy did he show ?
Llow did he talk ? Listen ! Hear him, ye
colored voters! This is his language when
talking to white men :
“Goaded to desperation by the crimes of
the vicious and idle (‘ negro’), we (the white
men) will joyfully echo back from city, gar
den and farm, cut him (the ‘negro’) down!
Why cumbereth he the ground?” (Paren
theses mine.)
This shows what he would do with the col
ored man, or “ negro,” as ho calls him. Cut
him down, as a cumberer of the ground!
And this was his cool, deliberate, honest
sentiment, delivered not in a political speech,
where passion or hidden motive might shape
the language, but ia a itorary address, where
a calm, philosophic judgment dictated the
word.
In the late Gubernatorial Convention, when
Mr. Norwood had no idea of running for of
fice. lie uttered sentiments against the color
ed man not much milder than that contained
in the language above.
He “dreaded the coming of the day in
Georgia when the negro, inflamed upon a
superstitious, religious issue, should control
an election.”
Yet lie is now appealing to the colored man
to come to his support and control the pres
ent election. Mr. Norwood may think it a
sad day when white men and colored men
shall vote side by side and break down the
color line : but I think it a far sadder day for
Georgia when such men as he resort to such
means as those now employed to control an
election.
When leading men. in order to carry a
point, will tell only a part of the truth,, or will
distort the truth, or will create false impres
sions intentionally, or. worse still, will resort
to down-right misrepresentation, as lie and
others have done about very many acts of
Gov. Colquitt’s administration ; it will indeed
be a sad day for Georgia when such men are
put in high positions of trust. If men are
not true when seeking office, what hope have
we that they will be true when the office is
secured ?
Nellow-citizens, white and colored, let such
mem remain in private life, when they will
have no of-poriuNty to betray us. Better
take the mail v;V>, although much abused,
has proven himso’f above reproach, ovon after
the most frequent and sifting investigations.
Being abused is no sign of unworthines3, for
the best men of the world have been the
worst abuse L not over, excc-ptin g the Saviour.
Let colored voters support the man who has
proven himself their best friend. GL

Officeholders to the Front.
Washington, Aug. 28.—Gen. Grant in
troduced the bad practice of abandoning the
capital for many months in every year,
of drawing full pay for his long and frequent
absences. This example was followed by the
Cabinet, by bureau officials, by chiefs of di
visions, and by others, until the public busi
ness was virtually suspended from June un
til October, and nothing but the merest rou
tine business could be transacted, for the
want of responsible authority on the ground.
When Hayes was nominated, the canting
professional reformers who took him in charge
promised that this and other abuses should
stop, in case he was elected. Carl Schurz,
who wrote the letter of acceptance, made
Hayes say : “ The founders of the Govern
ment meant that public officers should give
their whole time to the Government and to
the people/’
This pledge, like all others from the same
source, has been openly broken. Hayes be
gan bv swinging round the circle, and he has
continued swinging ever since the summer of
1577, Ife recently left Washington for a
two months’ tour on the Pacific coast to
make speeches for his Ohio friend, DeGolyer
Garfield.
Ancient Mariner Thompson has visited
California on a partisan errand, making
speeches from Terre Haute to San Francisco,
leaving the debris of a so called navy to be
looked after by a subordinate.
Reformer Schurz wont over the same ground
on a similar political mission, and is still ab
sent, “giving his whole time to the Govern
ment and to the people” by delivering Gar
field speeches at S2OO and $250 each, as a
supplement to his regular pay.
Mr. Evarts is down in Vermont, deploring
the ingratitude of the party, but engaged in
preparing a masterly effort to instruct his
fellow-citizens why they should vote for the
Credit Mobilier candidate.
Gen. Devens has been taking it easy in
Boston, but now goes to Indiana and other
Western States to make speeches for Gar
field.
Ramsey is away under an engagement to
join the Fraudulent President at Omaha, and
to participated a the privileges of a dead
head excursion from Oregon to Santa Fe,
and back to Washington.
John Sherman, after addressing a crowd of
white and black officeholders at Washington,
is stumping Ohio for Garfield.
John A. Kasson, Minister to Austria, is
at home on a sham sick leave, to run for con
gress and to help Garfield in Ohio, Indiana,
arrd other Western States.
J. M. Langston, the colored Minister to
Hay ti, has been brought home to make speech
es to ins brethren whom the Republicans
swindled in the Freeman’s Bank.
Green B. Eaum, Cotnmisioner of Internal
Revenue, who as Chairman of the Republi
can State Convention in Illinois ran the ma
chine for fabricating Grant delegates, has
been harranguing people in Maine for weeks
past, and is announced for partisan duty
elsewhere.
Fred. Douglass, United States Marshal of
the District of Columbia, is tramping in all
directions, under orders from the Republi
can National Committee.
All these officeholders, and many others
less conspicuous who have deserted their
posts and are doing party duty, receive their
salaries punctually on pay day, and no ques
tions arc asked. They belong to what has
become under Republican rule a privileged
class.
A workingman at one of the navy yards,
arsenals, or other public posts, who docs not
answer at roil call, or appear at the ringing
of a bell, is clocked half a day, even if he
should be only a few minutes late, and he
detained, perhaps, by the sickness of his wife
or children. And. more than this, he is
forced to vote the Republican ticket or to go
without bread.

A Terrible Storm.
Richmond, Va., August 31.—This city was
visited last night by one of the fiercest storms
ever known in this section. For two hours
rain fell in torrents, accompanied by almost
incessant thunder and lightning. The rush
of water in the streets was so great that
Shackel creek, in the lower part of the city,
was swollen to an angry torrent, which over
flowed its banks and flooded the whole vi
cinity. Many cellars were filled, and build
ings bordering on the creek inundated. The
occupants of the buildings were mostly col
ored. The flood came upon them so unex
pectedly, they being awakened by the rush
of water into their houses, that it was with
the greatest difficulty they were rescued.
The scene in the neighborhood of the swollen
stream was terrible. Women and children
were seen at the windows, holding lamps
and screaming for help. The night was
pitch dark, and often cries were heard from
points where no one could be seen. Men
were wading about in the water trying to
save life, while they saw their worldly goods
swept away. While the damage, in figures,
is not great, yet the loss falls heavily upon
a people who are least able to bear it. A
number of merchants sustained considerable
loss by the flooding of cellars. In parts of
the city the streets were badly flooded and
several bridges were swept away. Light
ning struck in several piaces but did no se
rious damage. No loss of life has yet been
reported. Reports from the surrounding
country show that the storm covered an ex
tensive area and did some damage. The
amount of rain which fell here last night, was
3 27-100 of an inch.
Killed by a Mob-
It will bo remembered that Henry Wal
drop, living near Griffin, eloped with his
sister-in-law sometime since. Ho married
Mias Julia Heard about two rears since and
settled down on his farm. His wife’s sister,
Ella Heard, then aged twelve years, was in
vited to live with them.
smoothly until last July, when Waldrop and
Ella happened in the kitchen. lie told her
of a dream he had the night before concern
ing herself, and she responded that she had
a similar dream. They thereupon commenced
fondling each other, and lie pulled her in his
lap. Mr. Waldrop eloped with Ella, and
was subsequent]}’ arrested in Atlanta and
brought to Griffin. Two indictments were
found against him, and he was released on
bond. On the 18th inst., the sheriff re-arrested
Waldrop on a possessory and peace warrant,
and started to town with him. After night
he was met by a crowd of fifteen or twenty 7
persons who took Waldrop and shot him three
times, killing him instantly. It was reported
that the sheriff had succeeded in arresting
one of the mob, but the report was not con
firmed. Little sympathy is felt for Waldrop
in the neighborhood, but the killing was mur
der, and the perpetrators should be dealt with
as the law directs. —Monroe Advertiser .
is it possible.
That a remedy made of such common,
simple plants as Hops, Buchu, Mandrake,
Dandelion, &c., make so many and such
marvelous and wonderful cures as Hop Bitters
do? It must be, for when old and } f oung,
rich and poor, Pastor and Doctor, Lawyer and
Editor, all testify to having been cured by
them, we must believe and doubt no longer.

Hon. Miles W. Lewis died suddenly at his
