and who will not be afraid to maintain
them. With such a candidate, succ i-b h

Tilk uenutitAiit <vvlntion
The State Democratic Convention for
the purpose of electing delegates to the
Cincinnati Convention, which we had the
pleasure of attending, was said to have
been one of the b t and most intelligent
bodiesof men which had ever met in Geor
gia for political purposes. It was certain
ly meat harmonious. Of course in all such
large bodies, there will he individuals and
occurrences debased and unprincipled,
and, well calculated to shake one’s faith
in the integrity of human nature, hut we
are pleased to say that in tho main, this
gathering of tho representatives of the
people of Georgia, seemed to have been
actuated by feelings at once unselfish, pa
triotic and honorablo. In so intelligent
a body of men, moved by such high prin
ciples, it did not take long to do the work
for- which they had convened and to do
it well. The convention was called to or
der by Hon. George N. Lester, of Cobb
county, Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of tho State, who addressed the
body in a few well chosen and judicious
remarks. The Hon. Newton L. Trammell,
of Whitfield, was elected temporary ehair
man,and with the rare ability for which he
is distinguished ns n parliamentarian, pro
ceeded to the permanent organization ot
the body, which was effected by the elec
t on of the Hon. A. O. Bacon as president,
and Mark A. Hardin as secretary. It has
bean rarely our good fortune to sec a pre
siding officer unite the qualities of digni
ty, suavity, firmness and dispatch of busi
n -SB in the eminent degree, which charac
terized Mr. Bacon. As soon as the unnat
ural animosities of sectionalism shall have
worn away, Georgia cannot hut take a
foremost place amongst her sister States, in
the race for political honors,as long as she
gives to the arena of American politics
sitch men as Bacon. We are glad to have
seen strong indications that Air. Bacon, as
soon as the people, through their Legisla
ture, have an opportunity of speaking,
has a good chance to become our new Sen
ator in Congress. lie belongs to young
Georgia and not to the old fossils of the
past. The delegation elected to represent
Georgia in the Cincinnati Convention con
tains a large amount of brains and patriot
ism, and wo doubt not that their action at
Cincinnati will redound to the honor of
the State and the benefit of the whole
country. Wo extend our hearty congratu
lations to our friends of the first District,
that our most distinguished fellow-citizen,
General A. R. Lawton, should have lead
the ticket of delegates for the State at
large. His modesty, which is only equall
ed by his true greittness, has kept him in
the back ground. But for that he would
long sinco have been recognized as the
Georgian who liad rendered the highest
and best sorvice, first in the field, until
disabled by wounds, and then as Quarter
master General of all the armies, during
the trying days of tho Confederacy; hut
ho was never the man to button himself
up an go majoring around, seeking po
litical preferment by vaunting his claims
upon the State. He pursues the oven ten
or of his way, attending to his private bus
iness, from day to day and year to year.
Whenever tho people want him, however,
he has responded manfully and disinter
estedly to their call to discharge civil as
well as military duties. Have we not
reached that point now in our political
education, when we prefer taking by gen
tle force, from tho retirement of private
life, a man like Lawton, rather than one
who seeks to force himself down our
throats for political preferment?
Savannah has many honorablo and in
telligent gentlemen, but for purity of
character, modesty of demeanor and bril
liant intellect, we know none who excels
Captain George A. Mercer. Ilis career in
peace and in war, since he graduated at
Princeton College, with the highest dis
tinction, has reflected nothing but honor
upon himself and his native city and
State. AVe hope to see Captain Alercer
pressed forward into the public service,
for unless pressed, he will not voluntarily
come, and the State ought to have his ser
vices in her councils or in those of the
Union.
A politician ought to be as modest as a
woman, not go to work to woo tho public,
but wait modestly and decently for the
public to make the first advances, to him.
It is to be hoped that we have reached this
stage in Georgia, and we think that we
have amongst the people, but have our
doubts as to the politicians. •
AVe bet that uone of Rnfe Lester’s clients
will suffer because the people are trying
to make him Governor, and when he gets
to be Governor, we hot that the interests
of the State will not suffer in his hands.
Rufus attends to the business before him
without regard to future expectations.
The Democrats of the First Congression
al District of Florida have re-nominated
Hon. It. H. M. Davidson, of Quincy. The
lion. Jesse J. Finley has been nominated
in the Second District. They will have a
walk over iu the approaching election as
they are both good men.
The Colquitt boom is fast playing out
and we don't think that the old man
stands the ghost of a chance of a re-elec
tion. We honestly believe that he will he
overwhelmingly defeated in the race for
the nomination.
Let the Democrats who go to Cincinnati
next week, put forward the very be ,t man
as the nominee and a grand victory awaits
ns in November. Wc are for the man tin t
can defeat Garfield.
General Gordon is still making Colqu ‘
speeches iu the upper portion of the State.
It is impossible for the Genera! to carry
Colquitt through on his back.
“TSIK FEELING IN Mi'W
The following letter dated Darien, Go.,
June Bth, and which appears in the At
lanta Constitution of Saturday last, indi-!
cates that there is a “bad egg” amongst |
us:
“You have probably seen that at the
county meeting lu re to appoint delegates
to tho convention of the 9th resolutions of
censure were pa-i: and for the appointment
of Governor Brown ns Senator. These
resolutions were sprung unexpectedly and
do not express the voice of the county.
The county is for Colquitt, and had his
supporters have anticipated such a move
ment would have been made they would
have attended and voted down the resolu
tions. Some resolutions were introduced
indorsing Lester lor Governor, but they
were withdrawn. As for General Gordon,
I heard no one name him at the meeting
but to praise him. Tilden resolutions were
tabled. The attempt tnat has been made
in this county and others to take advant
age of the absi-nce of Colquitt’s friends to
spring censure, or tho election of anti-
Colquitt Gubernatorial delegates in the
absence of notice of such action, is a snap
judgment that will arouse the indignation
of the Democracy of Georgia, and recoil
upon tile men who thus seek to trick a
false expression of the public will.”
It is hard to believe that that letter was
sent from Darien, for we did not believe
that there existed amongst us such a polit
ical what-do-ye-call-em as its author must
he. The writer must have known, if he
knows anything, that it is not true that
Gov. Colquitt has a majority amongst the
Democracy of Mclntosh. He must know,
if he knows anything, that there was no pre
concert in the assemblage of the conven
tion or in the resolutions offered. And he
must have known, if he knows anything,
that there were but two men in our as
sembly,composed of the very best citizens
of Mclntosh county,who voted against the
resolution after it had been thoroughly dis
cussed, and Governor Colquitt's friends if
lie had any present, had had ample oppor
tunity to recover from their “surprise." If
lie knows anything about the meeting, he
knows that there were several who consid
ered the resolution inexpedient and un
necessary, who yet agreed heartUy in its
sentiment. He also must know that the
resolution endorsing Air. Lester was with
drawn at the request of Mr. Lester’s warm
est friends, because they knew that this
sort of notoriety was not particularly pleas
ant to him, and that the resolution endors
ing him was not germain to the call of the
meeting. There was not more than one
man in ten present, if that many, who
would not have heartilj indorsed Rufus
E. Lester. It is not improbable that Gov.
Colquitt may find some supporters among
tho Republicans of Alclntosli county, of
which there are a few white, open, honor
able and avowed. If the letter was gotten
up here wo think it must have been by a
political trickster of that peisuasion. Its
object to create a false impression and to
deceive is patent and deceives no one
here.
Mil I.USTEK I’-iSTIMMvS ÜBS ACCEP
TANCE OF AN INVSTATION.
The lion. Rufus E. Lester lias been ad
dressed by seventy odd of the leading cit
izens of Athens, amongst whom we recog
nizo the names of Tim Rucker and others
of the rising young men of Georgia. They
call his attention to the fact that Governor
Colquitt is to make a speech there on the
12th inst., and ask that Air. Lester in
dicate a time, at which he will address
them upon the political issues of the day.
Air. Lester in a note, at once full of cour
tesy and high appreciation, for the invita
tion, which really comes from the true
centre of social and intellectual activity
in the State, nevertheless declines it until
after the Democratic nomination of Gov
ernor. So far as present success is con
cerned, Air. Lester may have made a mis
take, for his opponent, with all his fugle
men, invited or uninvited, has bee nrang
ing up and down the State, for several
weeks, making speeches, and getting up
demonstrations,which have run the gamut
of human feeling from the mock-heroic to
the lachrimose. It is possible that such
efforts in modern politics may be reward
ed with present success. But we submit
that tho example set by Air. Lester is one,
which will commend itself to the pure and
thoughtful people of Georgia, and if fol
lowed, will bring forth fruits of good
government to the State in futuie years.
Air. Lester says in effect, that there are no
political issues between him and Gov.
Colquitt. They are both Democrats. The
discussion must therefore he personal—
himself the theme of his discourse, and
that he is not sufficiently in love with the
subject to imagine that he is the only-man
in Georgia, fit to be Governor. That he has
allowed his name to go before the conven
tion, and if nominated as the Democratic
candidate for the Governorship, he will
then take pleasure in speaking to his con
stituents and working for the cause, rec
ognizing the fact, that there will then be
higher duties and responsibilities devol
ing upon him, than the personal scram -
ble for office. It is a noble stand in behalf
of good government and free institutions,
that Air. Lester has taken,and if it defeats
him now, which, we have too good an
opinion of the people of Georgia to be
lieve, it will hereafter reward him with a
meed of fame, outlasting an elevation to
the Governorship.
The Chatham Democracy held an en
thusiastic meeting in Savannah on Tues
day evening and elected a strong Lester
delegation to the State Democratic Con
vention. Captain George A. Mercer, one
of the purest men in Georgia, was elected
Chairman of the Executive Committee.
If the State of Georgia had been searched
a better man than George A Mercer could
not have been selected. Messrs. Thomas
M. Norwood, A. P. Adams, Wm. Garrard,
It. N. Reed. J. L. Warren, B. A. Denmark,
are the delegates.
Our British friends don’t seem to be
having any more of a comfortable time
since, than before their late exciting elec
tion,and a change of Ministry and the res
toration of Disrenli to pow er is one of the
possibilities of the near future.

NEVER A MORE EFFICIENT OFFICER.
Hon. J. W. Ren froo, State Treasurer, is
an unpretending gentleman, a man wor
thy and well qualified for the honornbla
position that he has ably tilled. There
has never been a more efficient,more hon
est and capable man in charge of the
State’s finances. He at the earnest solici
tation of his host of friends, “and their
name is legion,” has consented to become
a candidate for re-election. The people
could not hope to do better than to place
him again in the position he has so well
filled. His name will be found at our
mßst-head in place of Hon. C. A. Nutting,
who has declined to become a candidate.
Quitman Beporter.
A SUCCESSFUL FINANCIER.
Upon this healthy condition of affairs
the people of the .State have cause to re
joice—a condition of things that will re
duce taxes in the future, and give to Geor
! gia a name and a credit that will greatly
redound to her honor. Whatever might
: have been said about Mr. Renfroe, none
; can deny him the credit in this respect
and that the present condition of affairs is
due to his prudence, economy and fore
sight as a successful financier. —Borne
Daily Tribune.
FROM THE PLOUGH HANDLE.
A man can’t know Renfroe well with-out
becoming attached to him. By good na
tive sense and hard work, ho has gone
from the plowhandles to the legislature
and to the high position he now fills with
so much credit to himself and his State. —
Macon Herald.
ONWARD AND UTWARD.
We see it announced in some of the
State papers that Hon. John W. Renfroe,
the efficient State Treasurer, is a candi
date for re-election to the high position he
has filled for several years, and are confi
dent that he will be re-elected by a large
majority when the voters of the State go
to the polls to decide the matter. Treas
urer Renfroe has by indomitable energy,
untiring devotion to bis native state and
convincing proofs of his ability, climbed
the rugged mount of public confidence,
and stands to-day upon its summit, hold
ing one of the most honorable positions in
the “empire state.” lie has gone, step by
step, from the workman’s bench to the
high office of State Treasurer, and during
his continuance in that office he has dis
charged his duties in a manner which,
even those who have been high criticizers,
must admit has been of very great benefit
to the financial interests of the State. Un
der these circumstances, we think it
would he worse than folly to take the
cbuncesof placing another in his stead,
hoping that he would make as good an
officer as the present incumbent.—Leuis
ville (Da), Courier.
FAITHFUL AND EFFICIEET.
The healthful condition of L _>r finances
and the public credit of the State of Geor
gia testify to the faithful and efficient dis
charge of the duties of Treasurer"by Col.
Renfroe, and the tax-paying people whose
burdens have been reduced nearly one
half since his incumbency should see to
it that he is retained in the office. —Fort
Gaines Tribune.
A MOST SUCCESSFUL MANAGER.
Whatever may be said of Treasurer J.
W. Renfroe, he certainly has managed the
finances of the State in a most successful
manner. —ThomasviUe Enterprise.
THE STATE NEVER HAD AN ABLER TREASURER.
Treasurer Renfroe, despite the attempt
to impeach and disgrace him, has estab
lished the fact that the State never had an
abler treasurer, nor one who has managed
our financial affairs with more skill and
success. —Monroe Advertiser.

Mr. Tilden lias a Republican kinsman,
Judge Daniel 11. Tilden, who has been
paying a visit to the sage. The Judge re
ports the Sage of Gramercy to bo in excel
lent health, that he is in for the Presiden
tial race, and wants to go to the White
House badly. The Judge concludes as
follows: ‘ I believe that ho is a square
man. His managers may have resorted
to trickery, but I do not believe him dis
honest. He is certainly one of the shrewd
est men living. Take tlio matter of organ
izings. He has a list of all the prominent
men of all the States, with their personal
habits, peculiarities, friendship, social
life, Ac., in memorandum. When we came
to talk over our relationship he took out a
book and showed me the geneological tree
of the family'. Ho had me down fine, and
even to the maiden name of the wife, and
place and date of our marriage, our fam
ily and our matters. By this chart he is
now sixty-five years old. I was told in
New York that he was worth $10,000,000.
He has been assailed so much by newspa
per men that he cordially hates the whole
tribe, and he" may have communicated
some of that spirit to me, and so you had
better ‘git,’ young man, for that’s all I
have to say\”
IMPORTANCE OF U!}J!i!ATIOX.
The Democratic party of Georgia should
wake up to the fact, that the entire tide of
immigration to this country goes to the
North and Northwest, with only a feeble
little trickle now and then falling upon
the South and our State; to the further
fact, that since we went into power in
1872, the wealth and prosperity of those
sections have been enormously increased
by their immigration, while that of Geor
gia has made comparatively but slow and
feeble progress;to the further fact that the
children of the soil are but the descend
ants of foreigners, and if we will look
around us at the new blood, a little of
which does flow in amongst us occasionally',
we will find its possessors quite the equals
of the children of the soil in morality, in
telligence, thrif and enterprise—in sliort
in all those qualities which go to make up
a great and prosperous people.
When the South falls short in her repre
sentation in Congress as the result of the
next census, and the Northwest gains a
number of members, trough the vast tide
of immigration flowing into her bosom,
will the old dunderheads and wiss-acr. s
rouse up to the necessity of encouraging
the immigration of anew and vigorous
population or will they after a momentary
start drop back into the semile lethargy,
and ruminations over the lovely state of
things, of thirty yours ago. I
