is going to jump.”
The Arkansas Radical Convention re
cently instructed its delegates to Chicago
to vote for Grant, and to use every effort
to secure his nomination.

Tiio New York Sun says Mr. John Kelly

New York, a score of little Bostonians un
der ten years of age who talked French ,

The Richmond Intelligencer, a Grant

need the twenty-two votes of Virginia, he ;
will be sure to get them all, but if he

them he may find the united delegation
of Virginia a poor support.”
A Sunday law prohibiting labor of any

send the girls to their respective homes.

The Press For Lester.
The following papers in Georgia are fa
vorable to the nomination of Hon. Rufus
E. Lester for Governor of this State. Sev
eral of them have come out squarely for
Mr. Lester while others are in faverof him
as second choice. There are other papers
whose names wo cannot call just now,that
have spoken well of Mr. Lester and will
heartily support him:

The most encouraging Democratic news
comes to us from New York via Washing
ton and Atlanta. The Washington corres
pondent of the Atlanta correspondent tel
egraphs that paper as follows under date
of the 30th ult: “Mr. Alfriend returned
this morning from New York, where Sen
ator Gordon and himself have been so
journing for several days. Ho tells your
correspondent that the feeling among
New York democrats is very encouraging.
Tammany democrats and anti-Tammany
democrats, Tilden men and anti-Tilden
men, all avow their purpose _to support the
nominee of the Cincinnati convention.
He reports that Mr. Til len is a candidate
and that his friends are confident.” Sam
Tilden is bound to be the nominee of the
Democratic party for President. The
Democratic party should not hesitate in
this matter.
Our esteemed contemporary of tho Grif
fin News informs us that General L. J.
Gartrell, candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, intends visiting
Southern Georgia before long for the pur
pose of getting acquainted with our peo
ple. We sincerely hope the General will
come, and if he should come this way we
hope he will call in at Darien where he
will meet with a hearty welcome. Gartrell
is not our choice for Governor but that
has nothing to do with his visit to this
portion of the State.
Secretary John Sherman has, of course,
secured a majority of the 44 delegates from
Ohio, but it is folly to think for one mo
ment that ho stands a ghost of a chance of
being nominated for President at the Chi
cago Convention. lie has, by the aid of
his .money and office-holders, managed to
secure a few delegates from othor States,
but General Grant will be nominated just
the same as if Mrs. Agnes Jenks and John
Sherman had novor met.
Tho able editor of the sprightly Griffin
News says that “Mr. Lester is a young
man, comparatively, and can wait a little
longer for gubernatorial honors.” Why of
course he is going to wait; it is impossible
for him to get the office before October.
Ilis friends are perfectly willing that he
should "wait a little longer,” say until the
6th of October 6th, 1880. How will that
suit you, brother Alexander ?
South Carolina and Arkansas have ad
ded 22 votes to the Grant column, and we
have no doubt but that Tennessee, Missis
sippi, In liaha, Wisconsin and Now Jersey
followed yesterday. We now believe that
G moral Grant will be nominated on the
first, ballot. We hope so, for we much
prefer him to Blaine, Conkling, Sherman,
Edmunds, Washburn, or any other Radi
cal of that class.
It is now stated that tho Hon. Horatio
Seymour, of New York, will cone ut to bo
the Democratic candidate for President,
that is if the noinin .tion .is tendered him
with a free and undisputed hand. Sey
mour is not the man; ho ran once and was
badly defeated. Samuel J. Tilden ran
once and was elected by a largo majority.
Wo say give us Tilden again.
The Southern Farmer's Monthly for
May eclipses all previous numbers in every
respect, and it is a great wonder to us
how a farmer or planter manages to get
along without it. We will send for one
year to any address the Southern Farmer’s
Monthly aud Darien Timber Gazette for
$3.75, which is dirt cheap. Send in your
subscriptions at once.
It is now positively stated that the New
York Democrats will be united in tliecom
! ing campaign, and will support Samuel J.
! Tilden, if he is nominated. We do net
see how they can do otherwise and be good
Democrats. They intend to fight Tilden
until bo is nominated and then they will
fall into ranks again.
General Joseph R. Hawley, of Connecti
cut!, is being prominently mentioned in
| connection with the Republican Vice
{ Presidential nomination. General Haw
ley is one of the ablest a"d best men in
the Radical party and wc would not object
o see the ticket Grant and liawley.

THE LESTER ROOM.
For Governor -Rufus E. Lester.
The Americus Republican says: “We
have started out with the idea of furnish-
I .
Img our readers, during the approaching
campaign, with the latest and most relia
ble attainable information touching the
claims and qualification of the various
gentlemen spoken or for office, especially
for Governor. Without committing our
selves to the advocacy of any one, in pre
ference to others, in advance of the action
of the nominating conventions, we feel
under obligation to put before the people
such facts and information as will enable
them to act advisedly and for the best in
terests of the State and Democratic party.
We are pledged to no man’s support,hence
can speak freely and impartially. If there
is one thing above another we most desire
to see, it is that good men be put in office
-men who do not weary the forbearing
patience of the public in demagogic ap
peals and entreaties for office—men who
are competent and able, at the same time
pure and upright—men who are willing
to serve, cheerfully, the State and people,
but not such as possese and manifest an
unceasing, untiring, longing, irresistable,
desire to get office. There are plenty of
good men to fill all the offices, and if they
are not chosen the fault is with the people.
Thus much that our position may be un
derstood. In this view we propost to speak
of the gentleman whose name heads this
article. We do this because of a desire
of many of our readers since the appear
ance of several articles, referring to his
candidacy, in recent issues of the Repub
lican, to know more of him and his ante
cedents. From what we hear there is a
magic about his name—a number of lead
ing citizens, familiar with his ability, past
public service and eminent qualifications,
are outspoken in their advocacy for him
as Governor, and freely expressing their
hopes that he will be nominated. His can
didacy stems more the result of the re
quests and demands of the people, who
know and appreciate his fitness for the po
sition, than of his solicitations or desires.
The people have observed this and are
now urging him for higher honors. Rufus
E. Lester was born in Burke county,Geor
gia, and is yet a young man, being only
forty-two years old. At an early age was
left an orphan with but scanty means, yet
he felt the importance of an education and
resolved to have it. He gradurted at Mer
cer University with the first honors in his
class, and, just before tho war, he appear
ed in Savannah, as a county boy, without
money or influential friends, and entered
the practice of law. The same noble de
sires that actuated the school boy, in the
little country town of Pen field, now actu
ated the strange country boy in the city of '
Savannah—a desire to earn an honorable
living and make an honorable name. Soon
thereafter the war came on,and Lester was
ready to put aside his books and briefs
and respond to the call of his country. He
entered the army as a private, was wound
ed at Chicamauga was promoted to a Cap
tiancy, and, like thousands of others serv
ed his country faithfully and well. At the
close of the war he returned to Savannah
and resumed the practice of his profes
sion, and speedily attained a large prac
tice and great eminence by his fidelity
and ability. He was no longer the friend
less, moneyless, country hoy—he was
the successful, able man. In 1868 he was
elected Senator from the First Senatorial
District, and has been re-elected contin
uously since. During his last two terms
he has been elected and served as Presi
dent of the Senate, and has made the
ablest and best presiding officer the Sen
ate has had since the time of Andrew J.
Miller. In the Goldsmith and Renfroe in
vestigations and impeachments last year,
he took an active and prominent part, and
distinguished himself in the discussions,
and was most active in exposing and pros
ecuting the people's plunderers. In pri
vate life Lester is a pure, upright, honor
able man. Those who know him best and
most intimately, appreciate his true worth
and merits most. He is noted for his
prompt dealings and strict integrity, and
is exceedingly popular with all both high
and low, rich and poor. He loves his pro
fession and deals with his clients with fair
ness and tho punctuality of a banker. He
is not a politician, or office seeker, but a
man who is willing to serve his State. He
seeks no office, still has served his people,
at their bidding, for years. He is not now
sooking the nomination for Governor.
This should add great strength to his can
didacy, for these perpetually office seekers
should be repudiated and set down upon.
Such is a brief account of the Hon. Rufus
E. Lester which we have given for tho in
formation of our readers and in justice to
the gentleman’s candi lacy.”
The Philadelphia Times says: Yester
day 3,387 immigrants were landed at New
York, making to the total number of arri
vals for April 46,118. ' These are the high
est figures ever reached, the next highest
for April, 1873, when 43,216 were landed.
From the passenger list already made on
the other side there is reason for believing
that the immigration during the present
month will be even greater, probably ris
ing to 50,000. As we have already pointed
out, this great increase is due very largely
to the unsettled condition os Europe. The
growing fear that a general war is near at
hand, the certainty that there is to be a
general increase of armamentsf is driving
thousands of well-to-do people to this
country. For many years a large propor
tion of our immigrants have been paupers,
valuable to the country only as so much
available brute strength. Those now com
ing for the most part are provided with
enough money to plant them fairly in
their new home. Immigrants of this class
are very well worth having, and the loss
to Europe is decidedly our gain.
John Russell Youug reports Gon. Grant
as follows upon Reconstruction; "Mili
tary rule would have been just to all—to
the negro, who wanted freedom; the white
man, who wanted protection; and the
northern man, who wanted union. As
State after State showed a willingness to
come into the Union, not upon their own
terms but upon ours, I would have ad
mitted them. This would have made uni
versal suffrage unnecessary, and I think a
; mistake was made about suffrage. It was
unjust to the negro to throw upon him
the responsibility of citizenship and
expect him to be on even terms with his

Congressman Nicholls is trying to get

than any of the other ports.
The Irwinton Southerner says:—The gu
bernatorial boom of Hon. Rufus E. Lester
is tvssuming huge proportions, and we are
more than halt inclinched to join the pro

The New York Evening Post says it has
creditable information that the handwrit
ing on various scraps of paper submitted
to experts during the Whittaker investi
gation, has been pronounced to be, in the
opinion of the experts, the same as that in
the note of warning, and is the handwrit
ing of Whitaker himself. Why of course
Whittaker wrote the letter and bound him
self, and it was all done, too, for political
effect. Everybody understands that it
was a Radical trick to fire the Northern
heart against the poor Southern people.
The Radicals have already commenced to
be desperate in their effort to continne
control of the Government.
President Hayes has just appointed
Postmaster General Key to the vacancy in

Most of the Congressmen favor Seymour,
but favorites of Congressmen seldom pros

Tilden will walk of with the prize again.
Mark the prediction.
