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 elect ion day.

St. Louis was mad because the United States census gave her 375,000 population. She ejaculated “ fraud.” By the direction of Superintendent of the Census Walker, a thorough investigation was made and the enumeration ccrefully*corrected. The result has now appeared, and instead of the 375,- 000, which was too low to be accepted, St. Louis must perforce be contented with 333,- 000. Public Speaking.

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. 11. P. Bell. 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 Fleming & Burke, of Athens, keep ALL KIND OF BOOKS AND EVERYTHING IN TIIE STATIONERY LINE. ITiICEo AS LOW AS THE LOWEST. 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. Notice- The people of Jackson county are hereby notified that the Hon. Daniel T.

We learn that an attempt was recently made to destroy the records in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of Dawson county, which was mainly successful. The clerk, J. W.

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. See other column. Hon.
