Colonel Peeples paid a high tribute
to our able Coventor, .Tames M. Smith.
Ue said that they had practiced law to
gether. slept together, and went togeth
er. and he always found him to lie a
high-toned, honorable gentleman. He
was no sycophant, but a plain, matter-
of-tact gentleman, with an unsurpassed
intellect.
We wish we had it in our power to
give the mlilress of Colonel Peeples in
full, as it was one of the most able and
eloquent, as well as the most opportune,
speeches we have ever hud the pleasure
of listening to, and one w.liicli should lie
read l>y every voter. Il is impossib'e, in
this brief synopsis, to give a correct idea
of its great merits
' We hope tie* honorable gentleman

In the course ot his address the speak
er spoke in high terms of the late Hon.
-. L. Vai.i.aXDIgiiam, who he said was
he originator ot the Liberal lit iiuloieult |
movement. He spoke of h.s gw at i
• neiid'hip to Hie Smith during the late !
w ir, and wanted to know who among
us would brand such a man as that with
the stigma of Radicalism—lie saw the
condition ot the country, and knew such
a movement as the one made in Cincin
nati and endorsed in Baltimore was the
only salvation for the South. Such men
ns Colquitt and Bennino saw the situ
ation at a glance, and accepted it in
good spirit. Colonel Peeples wanted
to know if there was a man present who
suspicioncJ these tried old veterans with
l>eing actuated by any but the purest of
motives ? Th -ir characters were above
reproach. He referred to the charge
made by the "• Straight-Outs,” that the
; members of the Baltimore Convention
had sold their country to the Radical
party. Who would charge that grey-
liaircd soldier, Bennino, with selling his
country to any party ? The very idea
of such an assertion was laughable in
the extreme.
Personal.—Yesterday we had the
pleasure of receiving a call at our office
from our highly esteemed friend. Col. B.
C. Yancey. The Col. has charge of tin
Plantation', published in Atlanta, one
junoag the la-st agricultural papers in c.r

else he does, exactly right.
Editor of the N. E. Georgian :
I hn\*e before me Mr. Chris'v’s re
ply to “ Democrat” the letter and
spirit of which by no means bespeak
the gentleman. It is true that I wrote
OA’or a “ ficticious signature” but I did
not do so in order to shrink the re-
sponsibility that the piece might bring
ujlhi me. My sole reason in not
alhxibg my own signature to it Avas
that 1 did not Avish to up;-ear officious
in the matter. lu the first paragraph
-Air. Guristy states that there avus
** hold fraud practiced in tiie conven
tion ot the lot it wh.cn assertion i un
qualifiedly coutiadiet, and I cLudengt
proof to the contrary.
In reference to my supposing that
Mr. Christy advised the call lor an-
otner meeting, my reasons are these—
1st I kite a- that he Avas dissatisfied with
the action of the convention—2nd his
editorial was in spirit an endorsement
f the call. I leave it to any reus ma
nle mind to judge as to Avhether I was
not justifiable in supposing him a party
:o the call.
In ju-ti ication of- myself I would
state my reasons for supposing Mr.
Christy present at the convention ol
sept. 7. 1st, 1 knew that he was ap
pointed a delegate to that convention.
2nd during the coiiA'cntion I arose t •
m vo that the delegates to the Game. -
ville convention be appointed then and
there, but before the Avords escaped
my lips another member advised nte
not to make the motion as Mr. Christy
ai d >tliersob e ted. fr 11 co iscienicous-
ly believed at the time the piiece Avas
written that I -aw Mr. Christy at the
convention.
Noav as to Mr. Christy’s denial of
b ing present I candidly concede to
him that point ns I have found out
that I Avas mistaken, hut I claim, as 1
made no positive assatiun as to his
being there, that the manner in Avhich
he has answered is unjust ungenerous
and ungentle manly.
Mr. Christy stales that he advised
that the delegates should not be ap-
pointed nt the time the nominations
Avere made, but that he did not advi-e
Dr. Carlton to make the announce
ment at the time and place that he
did.
In reply to this I Avould simply say
that it narrows itself down to a ques
tion of veracity betAveen Dr. Carlton
ttud Mr. Christy far proof of which Ave
copy from Dr. Calton’s article to the
Atlanta Han upon the same subject

“ Moss Meeting” instead of a delegate

gentlemen, among Avhom Avas Mr.

THE LADIES.
HcaA*en31 Let all ladies wbo were

Medteal Journal tells usabout false
hair! There is a M. Liuderaan who
has given his mind to this subject, and
Avho announces that every hair in a
false plait ends with “a nodosity,”
each nodosity contains fifty “ psoros-
permsaud each psorospernt throws
otf minute, spheres which become
“ pseudo-uavicellas.'’ But this is by no
means the end of a bad matter. The
pseudonavicellse in a ball-room contain-
ing fifty ladies, all with the spurious
teudrils, amount to 45,000,000, which,

My udstake was an honest oue. There
Avas no willful perversion of facts, but
still he accuses me Avith bull dog feroc

Christy says that he can “ safely af
firm that he has done more to build
•up the party than any other man in
the county or district.”
Well itnmy be that he has, but it is
the first time that I have ever heard
this high compliment paid him and 1
am astonished even to see it emanate
from himself. His delicacy and mod

Hqav a President is Elected.—
The question is often asked as to hoAV
the President of the United States is
elected. We will answer:
Each State is entitled to as many
electors for President and Vice Presi
dent as it has Senators, and Reprcsen-
tatives in Congress. Hence Pennsyl-
vania has twenty-nine electors.
In each State the electors are chosen
by a plurality vote. That L if there
are three sets of electors voted for those
having the highest number of A'otesare
chosen.
But a candidate for President, in
order to be successful, must have a
majority of the electors.
If there be three candidates for the
Presidency and none of them receive a
majority of the Electoral College, there
is no choice and the election goes to the
House of Representatives.
The House must confine their choice
to the three highest candidates voted
for by the electors. The Representa
tives vote by States, and each State
has but one vote; so the poAver of
Delaware is as great as Pennsylvania.
A candidate to be successful must re
ceive a majority of all the States, or
nineteen States. If the delegation is ; ✓ \LS & CORAL ISLANDS, friends, for the above goods, which will be sold I/no Fbr ipt
