The Chicago Radical Convention meets next Wednesday. It is not 60 certain now that congress will adjourn next week. The Cincinnati Democratic Convention meats on the 22d of June next. W. L. Scott, of Erie, Penn., is Raid to ho a director in more railroads than any other living man. The carier pigeons who flew from Lynch burg to Alexandria travelel at the rate of 42 miles por hour. The new lines to the Pacific coast are advancing at a great rate, an average ol now rail ono mile a day. All the blows we strike should be for a purpose; every nail driven should be a rivet in the machine of the universe. Since .March 1 to date Chicago packers hare slaughtered and salted 758,000 hogs, against 415,000 for the corresponding period last year. The liver and harbor hill before the present Congress appproriates $8,500,000, and is the largest appropriation of this kind ever asked for. One of the best wheat crops ever har vested will be gathered around Knoxville, Tennessee. There will bo peaches enough to supply the demand. Ex-Governor Henry S. Foote, of Tennes see, and Superintendent of the United States Mint, of New, Orleans,died recently at his home near Nashville. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad com pany planned a relief society for its em ployes, contributed SIOO,OOO to its funds and offered to conduct its business free of Oharge. The Halan-Courtney boat race, the exci ting event in Washington sporting life, took place on the 19th inst., and resulted in an easy victory for Halan. Courtney did not finish, but left the course, giving up the contest. The Railway Mutual Benefit association bas a membership of 1,000. Since its or ganization, about ten years ago, tlioro has Ijetn paid to widows and orphans of rail road employes over $300,000. Recenly reported statistics show that fully 00 per cent, of the accidents in rail road yards are caused by carelessness of employos in jumping upon switching en gines or trains when in motion. Mr. Grey, near Tallahassee, Fla., killed, last Monday in the rivor swamp, a black bear, the four quaters of which when dress ed, weighed 530 pounds. He sold the two fore-quarters for ten cents per pound. The mania for stock speculation has struok congress. It is estimated that sl,- 000,000 worth of different securities are held by members and senators. Con gressman Bliss, it is said, made a large sum by a lucky venture. Senator Conkling congntulated Senator Vest the other day by telling him that his speech on the Kellogg case was the best he had jever heard from “that side of the chamber.” The qualification may be termed neat but not gaudy. General Johnson Hagood is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Gover nor of South Carolina and the election of delegates so far indicate that he will be nominated, although General M. W. Gray is pushing his olaims for fhe honor. Pig iron consumption in 1879 is estima ted at 3,000,000 tons, and for the current year it is expected to reach 3,500,000 to 3,750,000 tons. The production of the country is now at the annual rate of 4,- 000,000 tons, while the capacity of the fur naces now in blast is said to be about 6, 500,000 tons. He was green astreet car conductor, and when a pretty woman waved her hand kerchief wildly' to him, he thought he had made a mash, and threw a kiss to her as his car went around a corner, and if he could have seen that woman make eartli ache where she put her little foot down he would have been mighty glad that she didn’t think to take the number of his car eo that she could report him. The Turkish tax-collector has nearly ruined Palestine, and its wretched peo ple fear to cultivate the soil. Every eight egg is taken by the government; and, as all fruit trees are liable to be taxed, none are planted. The country might be pur chased from the scltan for about $25,000, 000; aud it hire suggested that Europe might declare it to be a principality like Bulgaria, self-governed, but still a part of Turkish territory. Senator John B. Gordon has in a letter to Governor Colquitt resigned his'seat as United States Senator from Georgia to take effect immediately. In a letter in tmswear to a telegram from the Governor asking him to recall his letter of resignation or withold it until the meeting of the Gener al Assembly, Senator Gordon declines. Ex-Governor Joeseph E. Brown has been appointed as Gordon’s successor. At Princess Frederica’s wedding Queen Victors herself gave away the bride, whe was prettily attirad in white satin. Prince Leopold was best man. Lord Beacons field was present in a Windsor coat, and looking unusually well and strong. The queen wore a black silk gown, with a dia mond crown. One of the hymns sun>' du ring the ceremony ws written bv the lute 4 me c- ■ iorl Governor Colquitt Against The Field. Under date of April 19th, and tho norm, tie plume of “Wilkinson,” a remarkable let ter, in behalf of Gov. Colquitt appears in the Atlanta Constitution. Remarkable alike for the earnestness of the writer, for his profuse application of adjectives, lor the utter intolerance of spirit which he exhib its, and for its semi-endorsement by Gov. Brown, whom we have heretofore credited with a large modicum of common sense. W T e have nothing against Gov. Colquitt as a man, we expended out; best efforts to have him nominated and elected. We would vote for him again, but that in our judgement we have found a man, who is strong in maintaining his convictions of right, as well as pure in his conceptions of duty. The latter trait wo have always con ceded to the Governor, but we think him deficient in the former. Now then the mo ment we acknowledge that we are no lon ger for Colquitt, wo seem according to “Wilkinson,” to have deserted the only hope of the State; in fact abandoned the man-god ! The opening of “Wilkinson’s" letter is devoted to a vindication of him self from interested motives, and then he Munches out into unstinted eulogy of the Governor’s ancestry noble blood and his connection with the family. This is pordonable in a retired “friend of the family,” such as he describes himself to be. But while the people of Georgia respect tho good, honest name and fame of any man’s ancestry, for they all come of that kind of stock, they are too democratic, to fall down in adoration before any man on that account and proclaim him Governor for life. The sentiment of the people of Georgia is, as expressed by the action of the Constitutional Convention of 1877,that two years is long enough for a man to be Governor. They ..want quick accountabil ity from their servants of their steward- ship. It was a great stretch of kind feel ing, supplemented by the utmost efforts of the Governor’s friends,amongst whom the Representative of this county stood firm, that he was spared to fullfil his four years t*rm, while that of the whole Legislature was cut short. Ho has gained all the honor to be dorived from the office. It can’t be for profit that his frionds want him to stay there, if so, he had better be pensioned. We can’t agree with “Wil kinson,” that the State will be ruined if Gov. Colquitt is not re-elected. We can’t give to the Governor all the credit pre scribed for him by that remarkable letter, for tho present prosperity of the State. We think it has been wrought out of our desolation, by tho strong arms and hearts of our people; besides if the Governor is to take tho credit of the prosperity of affairs in the State he must shoulder the sad de velopments of the impeachment cases, not to speak of the North Eastern railroad bond business. We do not ngee with "Wilkin son” that tho Democratic party will he disgraced and disrupted if Gov. Colquitt is not renominated, for that is his intima tion. Tho party will survive the Governor and his friends; but we are sorry to see so threatening a spirit evinced, and it con vinces us all the more, that the time is ripe for a change. We have been all over Georgia, but we have not heard the Gov ernor’s efforts as an exhorter,Sunday school and fair visitor spoken of, otherwise than with respect. We have heard it mildly suggested on various occasions that his enthusiasm in these directions might per haps take him away a little too much from his duties as Governor. We are inclined to agree with these comments. In our ac quaintance in this county, we think we have first-class agriculturists (men who have succeeil&l in that most impor tant branch of industry),excellent preach ers and a first-rate Sunday school super intendent, but amongst them all we don't know a man fit to be Governor. The fact is, that the people of Georgia have long since come to the conclusion that they don’t want Church and State mixed. They have seen its ill effects all the way from Catholicism in Spain, topuritanism under Crqjpwell. The purity of both requires that they should bo kept seperate. Since his elevation to otflee the Governor has evinced a great capacity for the encour agement both of agriculture and religion. If delived from the cares of office, it is hard to tell the inestimable gain both of these important pursuits will derive by his release from politics ! We have made this brief review of “Wilkinson” in all hon esty and earnestness,taking the chances.of falling with a majority of the people of Georgia, as we believe (Wilkinson thinks about a fifth), amongst those “envious conspirators who creep panther-like through the jungle, upon the track of this man (namely the Governor) with stealthy tread, seeking to spring upon him from behind; * * one of the petty penny alinera, who indulge the low satisfaction,to be de rived from ‘an atheist laugh’ at the vul gar wit, with which he is assailed on ac oount of his ministrations at the altar ol' piety. ” It must be understood by any man who ventures to aspire to the Gover norship of Georgia as long as “Wilkinson” thinks Gov. Colquitt should enjoy it, that he will be opposed by “all good hearts | and noble minds,” and that he will accept “a leadership false, depraved, cowardly, oovered with slime aud slander!” Gov. Brown is a man of excellent judgement. He Knows the people of Georgia, their instincts and feelings. We really believe, that when he handed that remarkable letter to the editor ol the Constitution for publication, it was with a broadening of the charucter stic smile upon bis benevolent visage. Gov. Colquitt says that “no one but a liar and a thief would make the statement that he had made a bargain.” The Gover nor also said that he urged Brown to take the place after he had declined it. So m uch the worse Tor Golqffltt. The Great Surprise. Perhaps there never was a more astoun ded set of people in the world, than were the good people of Georgia, when the tel egram brought the news that John B. Gor don had resigned his place in the United States Senate, and that Governor Colquitt with a promptness, savoring of precipita tion, or previous agreement between all the parties concerned, had appointed Jos. E. Brown in his stead, without consulta tion with a leading Democrat in the State. This feeling of astonishment was only equalled in tho minds of a large majority, by a sentiment of undisguised indigna tion; for whatever might be the opinion |of the people of Georgia of Governor Brown’s abilities as a financier or his vir tues as a man, they had, by common con sent, long since consigned him to the re gion of political limbo. He had been re creant to both political parties and faithful to none. In the minds of the people, the contrast stood thus: during the war, Gor don and Colquitt had fought faithfully for the South,while Governor Brown, after leading his people into secession became a known obstructionist, charged with con sidering the advancement of his private and political fortunes, far above the inter ests of a struggling people; when the war closed; Gordon grasped the standard of the Dsmocaatic party and led their for lorn hope with the same desperate cour age, which had so often marked his career in the battle-field, while Brown became the champion of Republicanism and re construction—the relentless prosecutor of the Columbus prisoners, the undying re collection of which sank with bitterness into the hearts of every Georgian —the friend and adviser of Bullock, to he owed the office of Chief Justice, a leader in the Chicago Convention which nomi nated General Grant for his first term. When the Democratic party finally tri umphed and it was understood that the Governor was abandoning his Republican friends and gravitating back towards his first love, it was but reasonable to expect that during the ballance of his life he would take a back-seat in the liouseuold of the faithful. How men with such o^ posing records, feelings and sympathies, as Gordon and Colquitt, two bosom friends, on the one hand, and Brown on the other, could thus coalesce and become as it were, three in the same bed, is more than pass ing Btrange. If General Gordon bad wish ed to resign for tho simple purpose of re lieving himself, as he states, from the cares of public life, could he not have served out tho few days remaining to the adjourn ment of Congress ? This would have af forded him tne coveted desire for retire ment and at ttie same time enabled him to place immediately at the disposal of the Legislature, the direct exponent of the will of the people, that great honor, which they had so recently, so unanimously, and so enthusiastically bestowed upon him. None can resist tne conclusion tnat there was an understanding existing between these throe distinguished gontiemon be fore General Gordon tendered his sudden resignation. Can it be possible that there was a Bade, and that amongst others, the two great offices of tue Governorship and Senatorship of Georgia were tne con siderations which passed? It will be seen by another editorial in this issue that we were trying to get at Governor Brown’s motives in interesting himself so deeply in the publication of “Wilkinson’s” letter when we heard the news. “The cat is out of the meal-tub.” As we remarked tnere, tho Governor is a man of judgment. The Washington correspondent of the Savannah News say: “Several gentlemen from Mr. Nicholls’ district have dropped in to see your correspondent in the lust few weeks. They all say there is no doubt of his re-election. It is to be hoped that there is not.” Well, that is news to the people of the First District. We are sat isfied that there is not a Democrat in this oor.ntv who is in favor of Colonel Nicholls’ re-election, and from advices reeoiv. and from other portions of the district we are satisfied that he will neither bo nomina ted or elected. We will have something more to say on the Congressional contest in this district at the proper time. It is a little too soon to discuss this matter. The new Legislature which assembles in November will be called upon to elect a successor to succeed Gen. J. B. Gordon, who has resigned his seat in the United States Senate. It will be the duty, and we presume the pleasure, of this Legislature to elect a good man to this position, and we therefore suggest for their considera tion the name of Georgia’s noble states man and true patriot, -a gentleman who lias been tried aud not found wanting, the Hon. Thomas M Norwoo I, of Savannah. He is our choice and we believe that he is the choice of the good people of our glo rious old commonwealth. The senior editor ot the Savannah News is now really a sympathizer of Joseph E. Brown ! We can recollect the time when Col. Thompsonnvould have supported any other man in Georgia, in preference to Brown. What has come over the dreams of our venerable friend and brother ? We hope he is not prejudiced in the matter. Hon. W. JLiobt. Giguiliiat, of Mclntosh, and Hon. Martin L. Mershon, of Glynn, would be splendid man to send to the Cincinnati Convention from the first dis trict. We hope that the Democrats of this district will consider the matter as two better men could not be selected. Gov. Colquitt says that he told friends that he was hi appoint Joe Brown Senator. Who were these friends ? It was a State matter and why didn't he consult Georgians, men whom the people love and respect, such in< n ns Jenkins, Johnson, Lester, Hardeman, Norwood, Lawton and others ? Mrs. Ann Randall, the mother of Speak er Randall, died at Germantown Saturday afternoon The son wns present, having been summoned from Washington by tel- Hon. Rufus.E. Lester for Governor. The good work goes bravely on; one by one the papers rally to the support of Georgia’s distinguished son, the Hon. R. E. Lester. The following is taken from the Savannah Recorder of Monday: "it is well known to the readers of the Recorder, that as an independent paper, we sug gested the name of Gen. A. R. Lawton for Governor as our first choice, though at the same same time, we said we would sup port Hon. R. E. Lester, or any ottier good man from this section of our State. We 'dad A special reason and Argument -we thought good; and gave as the reason and argument, that Southern Georgia as a sec tion, with as able and intelligent sons as any other section of the State, had not been honored with a Governor for the last sixty years or more, Governor Troup be ing from Laurens county and elected in 1823 could be classed as a middle Geor gian. If our memory be not in error, Governor D. B. Mitchell was the last rep resentative in the Executive Chair from this section, and that was in 1815, sixty five years ago. We now feel that this sec tion of the State is really entitled to the honor, taking into consideration the wealth, the amount of taxes paid in the support of the government, and the abil ity of her sons. We think our reasons and arguments good, and hence, without any false modesty or assumed diffidence, we place at the head of our columns the name of Hon. Rufus E. Lester of our choice for Govornor. We do so, because we see that ho is the choice of this section; that he is the favorite, and has the confidence of the people. Mr. Lester is an able man, a gen tleman of more than ordinary ability, and by sheer force of personal character and ability has placed himself among the first men of the State. Asa legislator, and then as President of the Senate, he has won both honor and influence. Intellectually he can take rank with any' named for the high office of Governor. We therefore, without any further delay, place his name at the head of our columns as the first choice of the people of this section.” At a large meeting of representative men in Columbus on the afternoon of the 20th, resolutions' were passed regretting the resignation of General Gordon, and stating that the action of Gov. Colqutt in appointing Joseph E. Brown as Senator of Georgia is deserving of censure so strong that words cannot express it; that Brown is not a representative of Georgia, nor of the Democratic party, and the shameful and disgraceful manner in w T hich he has been foisted upon the people is condemn ed. Brown, the resolutions say, is the man who betrayed the State in her hour of trial and committed acts and instigated measures which,had they prevailed, would have incarcerated many of her best citi zens and placed them under the gallows, and who brought in power a party inim ical to the best interest of the State and to good and reputable people. Marcellus Thornton writer as follows to the Augusta Evening News: “Air. Joe Harris has sent to the publishers, D. Ap pleton <fc Cos., the first installment of copy for “Uncle Remus Folk Lore.” They are sparing no pains nor expense to get out this historical work in the very highest style of art. It is being illustrated by Air. F. S. Church, one of the finest artists in New York. This work will make Air. Har ris famous for all time to come. The Con stitution has received about two bushels of letters from parties throughout the world, making inquiries about Uncle lle mus and the author of the stories, Ac. I am glad to see this evidence of apprecia tion of one so worthy; for, if any one knows of Air. Harris’ rare attainments, I do, from my long and close intimacy with im. He is self-educated, and has strug gled hard, and his success is well mer ited.” The following is clipped from the Car tersville Free Frees: Charlie Willingham means every word he says: “If any news paper man is to be Governor of Georgia, we want it to be John H. Estill, of the Sa vannah News. While we like Evan How ell very much, Estill is the representative man of the press of Georgia. In that re spect we might say he is ‘a native to the manor bom.’ He publishes, beyond all question, the most progressive paper in the state and on legitimate journalistic principles, without sensation or purpose to deceive. We have to disagree with the News occasionally, and we are s >rrv we have to do so, but we are a firm friend of its proprietor.” This information in regard to the ap proaching Congressional contest in this District,is gleaned from a late issue of the Savannah News: "We understand that Colonel Nicholls will be a candidate for re nomination to position which he has filled with so much credit to himself and benefit to his section and the country at large,and that, if unsuccessful in the nomi nating convention, he will, as he has al ways done, give his cordial support to whoever may be the nominee of the De mocracy of the First Congressional Dis trict. The Colonel is in fine health, and after a brief rest, returns to his post with renewed vigor.” This is hard indeed but it is neveithe less the sentiments of a great many peo ple in old Georgia. The Atlanta Post says: “The fraud and corruption which seated the notorious Kellogg as Senator from Louisiana sinks into insignificance and nothingness when compared with the deep dyed inlamy which sends Joe Brow n to the Senate from Georgia.” Ex-Governor James Alilton Smith in speaking of the late bargain and sale says: ■ I think Ben Hill ought to resign and have Bullock appointed in his place.” Georgia Affairs. The Albany Fair was, as usual, a grand success. The Colquitt-Brown-Gordon combina tion is too thin ! too thin !! Col. Thomas Hardeman will speak in Dublin on Tuesday next. Senator Joseph E. Brown has taken his seat in Congress. Exit Gordon. Bob Toombs is and says that j he could beat Colquitt for Governor “with a black negro.” We believe that Allen Fort will beat Phil Cook, for Congress in the 3d District. Fort is a good man. The people of Atlanta speak of the ap pointment of Joe Brown as Senator aa “a regular bargain and sale.” Fifty or one hundred men.it is said, can find employment in the mines in Lump kin county at fair wages. Judge Mershon, of Brunswick,would be a good man to send to the Cincinnati Con vention from the First District. Lester stock is rising all over the State. With Lester in the Gubernatorial chair why Georgia would “bloom like a rose.” The Colquitt men are getting very des perate. They know that the people are against them, hence their uneasiness. The Cuthbert Wine Growers’ Associa tion is the first enterprise of the kind ever attempted in Georgia, and is destined to prove a success. Gov. Alfred H. Colquitt has broken his Gubernatorial back. Colquitt is not the man that he was when we all rallied to his support in 1876. Colquitt’s telegram begging Gordon to withdraw his resignation, was too thin ! Colquitt knew that Gordon was going to resign and he can’t fool anybody. Joseph E. Brown will not be elected Senator when the Legislature meets in November. Perhaps Colquitt has aspira tions in that direction. The Columbus Enquirer suggests ex- Gov. Smith as one of the delegates at large. It also strongly endorses the appointment of Maj. Geo. T. Barnes. Colquitt is to-day the deadest politician in Georgia. We feel sorry for him. We have always wished him well, but alas ! he has “gone and done it” now. Henry Ryan,a colored man,will be hung in Waynesboro on the 9th of July. An derson Jones, another negro, will be hung on the same day in Augusta. The people of Georgia are terribly ex cited and they condemn Colquitt in un measured terms for appointing Joe Brown as General Gordon’s successor. Aleck Stone, the Macon negro who kill ed Obie Wilson, another negro, a short time ago by stabbing him in the eye with an umbrella, has been acquitted. The appointment of Hon. Joseph E. Brown as Gordon’s successor by Governor Colquitt was a master stroke lor Lester and he will surely be our next Governor. Judge E. M. Butts, lately 7 appointed Judge of the Chattahoochee circuit has re signed and James L. Wimberly,of Stewart county, has been appointed in his place. Tne lrial of James Roberts, for the mur der of his cousin, Solomon Roberts, in Ma con, some weeks ago, this ended in the conviction of the prisoner. He goes to the penitentiary for ten years. Before the Fair the Brunswick Adver tiser was an enthusiastic Lester paper, but since the Governor visited that city 7 the Advertiser has changed and now' is in favor of Colquitt. Lester will carry the county, all the same, however. If the glorious, old Democracy of Geor gia is to be led around by the noose by such men as Allred H. Colquitt an l Jos. E. Brown, why just “count us out,” if you please. AVe are in favor of pure Democ racy with no sale or bargain in it. The Brunswick Appeal says: “Wilkin son s” letter defending Gov. Colquitt and urging his re-nomination, is a villainous compound ol partisan spleen and religious hate. It is the bitterest and most malig nant effort ever made by one intolerant “Christain gentleman” to bolster up the falling fortunes of another.” One of the resolutions of the Columbus indignation,, meeting reads thus: “That the action of Alfred H. Colquitt, Gover nor, in the appointment of Jos. E. Brown as Senator of Georgia, to succeed Senator Gordon, is deserving of censure so strong that we fail to find words adequate to ex press our indignation threat.” The Atlanta Post says: General Bob Toombs on yesterday approached John Smith and soliloquized thusly: “I do be lieve the good Lord takes care of me. Now you know, John, I swear and do divers other things, but the Lord cares for me. About three months ago I was asked by Colquitt to write a letter commending him to the voters of Georgia, and I almost promised to do it. Every time I have met him he has insisted on my writing that letter, but I didn t do it, kept putting it off. Suppose I had written it before this thing ? Weil the Lord protected me this time.” At an indignation meeting held in Barnesville on Saturday last, resolutions were unanimously adopted characterizing the action of the Governor in appointing as Senator, Joseph E. Brown, who actively and bitterly antagonized the Democratic party in the drakest hour of its struggle to maintain the right of constitutional gov ernment, as an act deserving prompt and unqualified condemnation,and denounced by all good people of the State; and call ing upon all true Democrats to unite in driving from power the man, who, by this appointment, has betrayed his trust, and nerfi? 6 ? B*UJlty 8 * U J lty * ,be mobt perfidy to the party wao honored him. i The Columbus Times says: ‘ ‘ln review ing the political field for Governor of Georgia we are foroed to admit that of all the candidates whose names have been mentioned for Gubernatorial honors the name of Rufus E. Lester shines out in undimmed brilliancy aa the man for the occasion. His manly course during the late impeachment trials at Atlanta, and ai ve expressions of opinion at a j UIB P otUw —blent of the State Sen time when as Pre - Sleat without it*, ate he might have kept curring censure, commend lnnl us as a man who,if elected Governo rcan say noand it will be understood to mean no ! If this man is elected the people may rest assur ed that he will not be controlled by rings, and that there will be no currupt bargain ing or trading in offices during his admin t ration.” The Galena Gazette, whose editor is a personal friend of Grant's, denying the the statement regarding his withdrawal, says: “Grant’s name has never gone be fore the public as a candidate for the Pres idency, by any word or act of his own, and he will most certainly not order his name to be withdrawn. Avery large class of the American people have chosen to make him their candidate, and if the Republi can National Convention at Chicago sea fit to tender him the nomination he will not decline it. This we know to be the fact, and we publish it because it is well that the Republicans of the country should cease to hold the matter in doubt.” A dispatch announces a fatal railroad ac cident on the Southwestern railroad on Saturday night, nine miles east of Colum bus, by which the through freight and ac commodation train from Macon to Mont gomery was precipitated into Schatalza creek, and the engineer, fireman and two wood passers were killed. The Sunday Phonograph say 7 s: "_n a Sunday-school talk in Southwest Geor gia Colquitt said politics these days re minded him of the game, leap frog, which he played when a boy; that the politicians were trying to leap over each other's back into office. A young lady replied, saying “yes, and you are trying to leap into the Gubernatorial chair over the backs of the Sunday school children.’” Morning News Serials.
