Hod. Randall L. Gibson has been re

of the first district of Louisiana. His

John Kelly's organ thinksfthe Democrats
in the Senate are wanting in pluck, and
that it will not do for the party to go into
the next campaign as a craven.
When a bill is up in Congress affecting
any of the Departments, watch the vote of
your member and see if he has not some
friends or relatives provided for.
The New York Sun says, "Never before
Was any suuh sum of money Tendy to be
expended in a Presidential election as is
now in readiness to promote ; the election
of Grant.”
Gen. Toombs said in an interview lately
that if Tilden was the Democratic nomi
nee, and Grant was nominated by the'Re
publicfkns, Georgia would go for Grant by
70,000 majority.
Hart, the Georgia negro in the New
York walking match, made 565 miles in
six days, The best time on record, and
won $9,000 as his share in the gate money,
as well us $9,000 sweep-stakes. The cham
pionship of the world and SIB,OOO is pret
ty good for one week.
Is this my train ?" asked a traveller of
Dennis Owens at the jUnion Depot. "I
don.t know, but I guess':ot,” was the
doubtful reply. “I see it's got the name
of the railroad company on the side, |and
I expect it belonges to them. Have you
lost a train anywhere 7”
The Augusta Chronicle says: “When
Blaine's name is mentioned in Congress
or Sherman's, in oonneotion with the Pres
idency, there is no applause. When Grant
is spoken of in this way, the Republicans
go wild with excitement. This is a straw
showing the way of the popular wind.”
The old family Bible which belonged to
"Mary, the mother of Washington," bound
in a oever of cloth woven by her own
hands, is in the possession of a branoh of
the Washington family in Virginia. In
its register is a record of the birth of
George Washington, Febuary 22, 1732.
A compilation of the various canvasses
of the colleges of the oountry on the presi
dential question has been published by
the Harvard Echo. Thirty-six colleges
have been heard from, and the totals are;
Blaine 2,227, Grant 1,408, Sherman 1,014,
Edmunds 301, Bayard 1,117, Tilden 195.
Queen Victoria is reported to be angry
with Beaconsfield, accusing him of having
deceived her concerning the real state of
public feeling touching the government’s
polioy, and thus alienated the most loyal
portion of her subjects. The charge is
just enough, but the queen is not wholly
blameless.
A physician was called upon the other
-day to answer in court a complaint about
•one of his prescriptions. This iN quite an
unusual occurrence, but society rightly de
mands that when a kiss is the dose ad
ministered, as in the case in question,
there must be ample proof that the mala
dy requires exactly suoh treatment.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has reports
from six thousand justices of the peace,
notories public and county officials of the
State of Illinois, as to their preferences
for President. Of the Democrats, 530
prefer Morrison, 147 Davis, 279 Tilden,
92 Seymour, 79 Hancock, 46 Palmer and
29 Bayard. Of the republicans, 580 want
Blaine, 394 Grant. Sherman's friends
numbered nine.
The dangerous sickness of Senator Gro
ver, of Oregon, awakens serious appre
hension in the minds of many. If he
should die, the Oregon Legislature, which
is now Republican, would most certainly
elect a Republican in his place. Then the
United States Senate after the fourth of
March next would stand Democrats thirty
eignt. The President of the Senate wotld
have the costing vote and determine all
political measures. It is hoped tnat Sen-
The South and the Republican Nomina
tion-General Grant.
Wo hope and trust that a Democratic
candidate will not only be elected but seat
ed, as the next President of the United
States. We not only hope for that result,
but shall work for it with might and main;
for upon the success of the Democratic
party, we believe, depends the perpetua
tion of the civil and politioal liberties of
the Republic. Advancing these views, we
are constrained to say that we cannot ’un
derstand the opposition, in certain Demo
cratic circles, to the nomination of General
Grant by the Republican party. We
want to see him nominated by them. As
to the third-term idea, if they choose to
bear the brunt of it as a party measure be
fore the country, what possible business is
it of ours ? It is no answer to our ques
tion to say that the third term is contrary
to the spirit of the constitution and laws
of the United States; for the true and ter
rible arraignment which we, as Democrats,
make of the Radicals,is that they have not
only in spirit but in fact ruthlessly, trarnp
eled under foot every provision of the
constitution, whenever it has suited their
purposes to do so, from the day that
their boasted leaders august
instrument to be “a covenent with death
and a league with hell,” and that there
was “a higher law” by which the Ameri
can people were to be governed, down to
the present time. If then the putting in
practice of the third-term idea shall arouse
a majority of the votors in a majority of
the States to the impending peril of the
Republic (and Heaven grant that it may !)
•o much the better for us. If it be an ad
ditional burden, let the Republicans, by
all means, assume the third term. But
again, we are free to confess that if the
misfortune of a Republican success awaits
the country in the coming campaign, then
we of the South would be better off with
General Grant than with Blaine or Sher
man, as President. There have been
times, and when we of the South were at
our worst, that General Grant has shown
the true spirit of magnanimity and gener
osity towards us. When have we ever ex
perienced anything, with one exception,
from the cold and heartless Blaine, or the
malignant Sherman, save persecution and
abuses.
We believe it to be true that when Grant
bore heavily upon us, during the sorrow
ful night of reconstruction, that he was
not acting from the dictates of his own na
ture, but was rather mislead and instigat
ed by these very men and their confreres.
At this time, while interchanges of kindly
feeling and mutual regard, amounting to
enthusiasm, are passing between General
Grant and the Southern people, Blaine is
machinating slanders for the coming cam
paign, and Sherman has already opened it
in kis late by flaunting the
"bloody lie” and shouting imprecations
against the South, as his bid for the Pres
idency. General Grant has the unbound
ed affections of the colored people of the
South. His late utterances have uroused
a feeling of general regard in the lieartß of
the white people towards him; for we know
that whatever may be his other short com
ing*, he ia not a hypocrite. We believe
therfore that he would attain as near being
a just and constitutional President, as it
would be possible for any'Republiean can
didate to become, if elacted. But, if Impe
rialism is the underlying thought and de
termination of the Rapublican party, aa
we so reasonably dread, Blaine or Sherman
will a little sooner grasp the diadem than
Grant, and if an Emperor we must have,
of the three, give us Grant! In our minds
eye, we can picture him as such,occasionally
bestowing a lucrative office or a patent of
nobility upon some genuine, cultured
southern gentlemen, white or black, but
should either of the other two candidates
ever reach that exalted dignity, we need
never hope to see any other coat of arms
brooding over thi* unhappy Southern
land, than the chilling insignia of the
eternal codfish or the all devouring buck
eye.
What in the deuce is the matter with
our good friend. Major Orrne, of the Sa
vannah Recorder? All along he has led
us to believe that he was in favor of Hon.
Rufus E. Lester for Governor, and now he
comes out and says that he is for General
A. R. Lawton, of Savannah, while he
knows as well as every other sensible man
that it will not do to have two candidates
from one county. Mr. Lester is the most
popular man of the two and with him as
our candidate we can succeed. South
Georgia is enthusistic *ver the Lester
boom and we uow feel satisfied that he is
the best man that the Democratic an nomi
nate for Governor.
In the South and particularly in Georgia
we don’t care a cent about the “exodus
movement.” Bnt suppose it should suc
ceed, and the cotton producing capacity of
the South be reduced one half, who would
be the worst hurt, the Southern people,
who would get as much for 2,500,000 bales
as they get now for 5,000,000, and who
would raise all of their own com and ba
con, or our western brethren who would
loose their best market for these last
named products, and gain in place there
of the meaner or thieving half of our South
ern negro population. G-e-n-t-l-e-m-e-n
of the West outside of politics its worth
thinking about !
Those politicians who persist in saying
that if Samuel J. Tilden is nominated he
cannot carry Georgia, Virginia and other
Southern states, must be a big set of fools.
If Tilden is nominated he will be elected
and don’t you forget it. Georgia will roll
up fifty thousand majority for him.
Samuel J. Tilden has, to the regret of
his many enemies, refused to decline.
This melancholly news will be read with
profound regret by the average congn s
■ man and politician.
THE LESTER BOOM.
Oar Choice Tor Governor.
The following is taken from the Orgle
thorpe Echo of a recent date:
"After a careful and deliberate survey
of the field, we have reached the conclu
tion that the best and most available man
for the office of Governor is the Hon. Rufus
E. Lester of Savannah. This distinguish
ed gentleman is now filling his second
term as President of the Senate, an office
but one step below the executive chair,
one which he has graced and honered by
his skill and dignity as a parliamentarian,
his firmness and courage as a man, and
as incourruptible integrity as a patriot.
It has been demonstrated by the experi
ences of the recent past, that the people
in this great state need in the executive
office a man of ability, statemanship hon
esty and courage, all of the highest order,
and this need has never been more severe
ly felt than now. Col. Lester possesses in an
eminent degree all these qualifications,
and would in his administration of the
state government fully realize the most
sanguine wishes and hopes of the wisest
and best elements in the body politic of
Georgia. His record, both public and
private, is without stain or blemish. In
war he was the embodiment of all that was
manly, chivalrous and true. The humblest
soldier in the ranks had no better, more
considerate or more faithful friend than
he, and the last cause no braver or more
gallant champion, in all the hosts whose
breasts were bared to the storms of battle
in its defense. No man among the living
or among the hero dead, if they could
speak, could truthfully say he ever shun
ned a duty, avoided a danger, or in any
thing failed to show he was a atodel sol
dier and brave, cosciencious officer. Asa
statesman, he has exhibited talents and
merit which have won the praises of all
who have observed his career. Elected
continously bj the Democracy of the first
senatorial district, to our state Senate for
several consecutive terms, he has shown
himself worthy of the high honor so fre
quently conferred on him by this enlight
ened and most respectable constitu
ency, and that constituency has been
itself honored by his elevation twice
to the Presidency of the Senate. In
his long and useful career as a Legislator,
he has known but one rule of conduct: to
inform himself what was right, and then
do that and nothing else. No lobbyist,
or scheming trickster ever had any com
fort from him, no great man omnipotent
ever controlled his actions, or used him
as a tool. Uninfluenced by flattery, never
deceived by specious arguments, and
unawed by the threats or men who assum
ed to dictate legislation to the people’s
representatives, Col. Lester haa always
thought and acted on his own judgement.
A real friend of the people, he has not
much regarded what is oftener than other
wise a mere senseless clamor, and the
wisdom of his course has been seldom
questioned, and its purity never. Cool,
clear-headed, with large and richly cultiva
ted mental powers, a lawyer of the first
rank, with great capacity for careful, sys
tematic work, and iu the prime of a health
ful, vigorous manhood, he is the man for
the times. In the Impeachment trial of
Tresurer Renfore, influenceswere brought
to bear on Col. Lester which would have
caused many men of good motives, but
weaker nerves, to vote for acquittal, but
with that Boman firmness, which charac
terizes him, he stood to his convictions of
duty. In privatedris character he is all that
could be desired. Honest in all things
truthful to a degree, and candid at all
times. There is not a trace of the dema
goge or time server in him. To obtain
his opinion or position on any public
question, it is only necessary to ask him,
and he will answer without evasion, a
virtue which politicians rarely possess.
Col. Lester is personally of the most genial
and social disposition, anroaehable by all
who wish to know him, and while a perfect
gentleman is absolutely free from all trace
of swell-headism. The people of Southern
Georgia are moving in earnest to make
him Governor. With this leader, it is
time her claims were respected. We hope
to see the movement in his favor spread
till it is coextensive with boundaries of the
state, and we venture the prediction that
the people of Georgia will never regret
having called to the highest office in their
gift, the noble, true, and gifted man
whose virtues we have here but feebly
expressed.”
The Quitman Free Press says: "In pre
senting the name of Hon. Rufus E Lester,
of Chatham, for Governor, we candidly ad
mit there is one man whom we would pre
fer, than whom there is no purer or better
man in Georgia, and who is entirely fitted
for the position. We mean A. T. Mein,
tyre, of Thomas. This gentleman has been
our friend from childhood; we love,honor,
and respect him. Mr. Mclntyre, though
honored by his people, is not, nor ha* he
ever been, an office seeker. His sure re
ward is in the future. At this time, how
ever, we do not consider the signs propi
tious; we do not deem it politic in his
friends to push hia claims, nor do we be
lieve Mr. Mclntyre himself approves it.
Our choice then is Rufus E. Lester, of
Chatham. His name and fame has been
sounded throughout Georgia, We knew
him as a soldier, gallant and true; we have
watched his career as a statesman, talented
upright and pure. His record is without
spot or blemish; his escutcheon as soldier,
citizen nnd public servant is untarnished.
Georgia is proud of him. His friends in
Brooks county will support him.”
The Chicago Tribune truthfully says:
“The days of mere ‘organs’ have passed,
never to return. The world has moved
away from that- kind of narrow and dis
reputable journalism. An ‘organ’ is of it
self positive evidence of weakness and
corruption on the part of its master, and
its degradation is fatal to the concern it
self. An organ with one tune is necessa
rily monotonous and wearisome. The peo
ple want something better -something in
keeping with the progress of the age.some
thing free and independent, which can
call its soul its own. The world, to them,
contains more than one man, and has
higher aims than the personal aggrandize
ment of one and generally an indifferent
person. It wants a journal reflecting the
great interest of mankind, and not the
personal schemes of a single office holder
or a professional office broker.”
The Massachusetts Radical Convention
has sent delegates to the Chicago Conven
tion favorable to Senator Geo. F. Edmunds,
of Vermont, Grant will be nominated all
the same os if Edmunds wasn’t a eandi-

Georgia Affairs.
The Bainbridge Democrat has hoisted
to its mast-head the Tilden flag.
Judge Ilillyer has refused anew trial to
Edward S. Cor, the slayer of Alston.
The Brunswick Advertiser has declared
for the Hon. Kufus E. Lester for Gover
nor.
John W. Renfroe is a good Treasurer and
why not re-elect him ? We merely ask the
question.
The Berrien County News thinks Hon.
H. G. Turner is the coming man for Con
gress m the Second District.
It is said that there is not a Hebrew cit
izen in Covington, although it is a town of
several hundred inhabitants.
General Gartiell may be popular in
North Georgia but we don’t believe that
there fifty voters in South Georgia that
knows thing about him.
The Perry Journal says: With Colquitt
at the head of the State ticket, there will
not be much harmony in the Democratic
party. A weak man can’t lead a strong
party.
Application has been made by Mr. Nick
oils to the Post Office Department, to have
established a weekly mail service, by the
river, betwen Savannah and Augusta. The
request will very likely be granted.
The Thomasville Enterprise says: With
harmony in our ranks victory is assured,
and he is no Democrat who is willing to
disturb that harmony, either for self-ad
vancement or in behalf of a favorite.
The Bainbridge Democrat says: “There
is now a Lester “Boom” in progress. Hon.
Rufus E. Lester, of Savannah, is being
urged in some quarters as the man for
next Governor. He would honor the po
sition.
Col. Ben Russell says: “If the Demo
crats fail to renominate Tilden, it will be
equivalent to an endorsement of the elec
toral fraud. gCdn the Democratic party
succeed und ™such a moral weight ? We
believe not.”
The Oglethorpe Echo says; In convers
ing with the citizens of this county since
our last issue, we feel no hisitency in af
firming that the Hon. R. E. Lester will car
ry Oglethorpe overwhelmingly. If our
people only knew this gentleman, we
know that their support is assured.
Jolly, the alleged murderer of Mrs. Vic
toria Norris, iu DeKulb county, in June,
1877, has been arrested in Mississippi and
brought back to Decatur. He claims that
Miss Norris is still living and that he can
show where she can be found. He is also
charged with having stolen a bale of cot
ton.
The Americus Republican says: “Geor
gia is the empire Stat* of the South. A
great future is now just beginning to un
fold. Let her sons realize and appreciate
this fact and put a man in the Guberna
torial chair who can and will take the tide
at flood, and lead her od to fortune and
greatness.”
The Americus Republican says: “The
Hon. Rufus E. Lester, of Chatham, seems
to be the coming man for Governor. His
friends have taken him up are beset upon
forcing the office to seek the man —not
the man the office. This is right. We
do want to see this good old-time, hon
est way of doing things come to pass again.
We do love to seethe office seek the man.”
An Atlanta special of the 15th says: “Ad
ditional advices from the gold field in
Nackoochee valley show richer results than
before reported. A solid nugget was found
on Monday weighing four hundred and
forty pennyweights, without a flaw or
gravel. Two hands picked up nine hun
dred pennyweights in one day. The
mines are not for sale at any price."
The Madison Madisonian says: “Hon.
Rufus E. Lester, of Savannah, than whom
Georgia has not a more faithful or efficient
son, is very favorably spoken of tor Gov
ernor. As president of the senate he has
won for himself an inevitable reputation
as a presiding officer, displaying marked
executive ability, and if elected Governor
would prove a worthy successor of the
best men who have filled the chair.”
A Reidsville correspondent of the Sa
vannah News, says: Thewriter had a con
versation with a great many citizens of
this county, six or seven who served in
the Legislature with Hon. R. E. Lester at
various times, md the expression of all
was, “I had rather vote for Rufus E. Les
ter for Governor than any other man in
Georgia,” There is no doubt about a
Lester delegation being sent from Tatt
nall.
The Quitman Reporter endorses the su ,*
gestion to make Hon. A. P. Adams our
next Congressman. It says: ‘‘The Du-
Pont -Okefeenokean suggests the name of
Hon. A. Pratt Adams, of Savannah, for
Congress from the First Congressional Dis
trict, the suggestion is one we think well
of; we would like to have Mr. Adams not
only nominated but elected. He is a young
man possessed of enlarged views, tine in
terlect, well balanced mind, quick per
ception and a ready debater. We do not
think our people can do better than to put
forward their active, vigorous young men
into public life.”
The Southern Press Convention -which
met in Atlanta last week, elected the fol
lowing officers: President, J. H. Estill,
Savannah News. Vice-President, E. P.
Howell, Atlanta Constitution. Directors
F. W. Dawson, Charleston News and Cour
ier; Patrick Walsh, Augusta Chronicle &
Constitutionalist; Joseph Clisbv, Macon
Telegraph A Messenger; W. W. Screws,
Montgomery Advertiser; Charles Clinton,
New Orleans Times; P. J. Roberts, Mobile
Register, and the president and vice-pres
ident ex-offieio. Secretary—William Rule,
Knoxville Chronicle, Treasurer —R. H.
English, Selma Times.”
Mr. A. W. Reese writing to the Macon
Telegraph from Washington says: “The
official axe of the post-office department
has been at work recently, and a Georgia
head has rolled in the basket. Mr. How
ard Williams, formerly of Columbus, but
more recently of Atlanta, is the victim this
time. Ho held, I think a SI,OOO place,and
at the same time, was a correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution. As represented
to me, his dismissal was the result of a se
ries of attacks in that paper upon the
Hon. Emory Speer, who. regarding them
,as entirely unjustifiable and uncalled for,
resented them by demanding and secur
ing Mr. Williams’ dismissal. Such is the
fortune of war. I presume the vacancy
will be filled from Georgia, and that a
draft will not be necessary. Should, how
ever, that be the case, I will give your
readers the benefit of early telegraphic in
formation to that effect.”
Speaker Randall says he knows Mr. Til
den has not written a letter withdrawing
from the Presidential race. On the' con
trary,he says he is in the race and will run.
He is carrying everything before him. As to
Pennsylvania, hesayshe will beat Wallace
by from 60to 70 majority in the conven
tion. Still he was in favor of sending an
uninstructed delegation. He didn’t be
lieve in the unit rule, nor did he want
to see the Democratic party Came
rondized. He wanted it to be the exact
opposite of the Republican party. All
who act with him favor this, although, as
he said, “we are in a position to dictate
what shall be the instructions of the con
vention.” He thought at least 200 of the
members of the convention would oppose
the unit rule.
The Augusta Chronicle has this to say
of Mr. James H. Acklen, the gay and fes
tive young Congressman from Lousiana:
Mr. Acklen has not been re-nominated for
Congress and should not have been. This
is well. He has made a great show of him
self and contrived to win the almost unan
imous aversion of his colleagues of both
parties. He is hardly thirty years of age,
and the follies of youth may be corrected;
but the Democratic party does not want to
dry nurse him meanwhile.
The Chicago convention will consist of
754 delegates,and under the majority rule
it will require 378 votes to make a nomi
nation. Grant has 200, and he has there
fore 178 to get. He must get that number
in Illinois and in the South outside of
Texas, Kentucky and Missouri, which have
elected their delegates. If he looses Illi
nois, he must have all the rest of the
south.
A Washington telegram says that on the
passage of the Army Appropriation bill
with its much abused rider, Mr. Nicholls
alone of the Georgia delegation voted
against it. Inquiry developed that Mr.
Nicholls was wedded to a more decided
cause —a more rigorous rider, and as he
had refused to support the one at the ex
tra sitting, he simply voted consistently.
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens is reported
to be preparing an answer to General Gor
don’s last letter, same for publication. An
intimate friend of Mr. Stephen's informed
the Augusta Chronicle Washington corres
pondent recently that the “old man"
would “show up” all right and with plonty
of shot in his lockers.
The report that Charles Francis Adams
would spend the summer abroad is erro
neous. We understand that his services
have been engaged by an extensive whole
sale, New York ice firm to supply the defi
ciency in that article of prime necessity,
occasioned by the short crop of this year.

for President and Vice-President of the
