Party of Decatur county is hereby called
'to convene at the Court House in Bain
'bridge on Saturday 'the -8th day of July
•next, at 11 o’clock a. m. to organize for
Jthe Campaign, and to send four delegates
■ to the Gubernatorial Convention to be
■ held August 2d, at Atlanta.; and also to
.provide for the selection of delegates to
the Senatorial Convention to Jheet in

This is a. v»ry important ineetingand a
large attendance is desired from every
section of the County.
J. A. Butts,
Acting Chairman Ex. Com.
Decatur County.
• The World says of Republican appo
sition to economy ; They want to
make it appear to the country that the
enormous amounts which they nave
been squandering for years were the
least possible allowance on which the
Government could be run. and dare not
■consent to try the experiment of cheap
er administration. Perhaps, too, they
wish to secure their old supplies as
■necessary for a campaign fund this
summer. They are willing to risk ev
erything to get a well-filled camp
chest.
We will give proper attention to the
prospectus of the Savannah News next
week. In the meantime we may men
tion that Mr. Johnston, of this office, is
acting as special agent for the News and
will take pleasure in forwarding subscrip
tions to the office. The character of the
News as a great newspaper is too well
'known to require anything commendato
ry at our hands.
California has more sheep than she
•can pasture, and the owners are begin
ning to kill them for the fat and pelts,
the flesh being thrown away or fed to
the hogs.
Hayes is rich. La$t year his uncle,
Landis Burchard, left him a fortune of
$750,000. If he manages to get into
the White House he can live on $25,-
000 per annum
All the Republicans have harmoni
zed on Hayes and all the Democrats
have harmonized on Tilden. Now let
us have a harmonious election and a
Democratic victory in November.
which a few days ago * appeared to
so uncompromising, will have no exis
tence at all in twenty-four hours, if it
has any now. The very papers and
politicians who were -down the heaviest
on Uncle Samuel will'be 1 his most ar
dent supporters, and there is no dofibt
the Democracy are going to back this
ticket with every vote.
But what is quite as satisfactory and
material to a favorite issue is that the
ticket is going to carry a heavy sup~
port outside of the strictly party vote,
and that unless we are greatly mistak
en ihe regular Democratic election fig
ures are going to be of no use in this
campaign. The country, groaning un
der a financial .prostration resulting
from hig taxes and wasteful and ex
travagant public expenditure, is going
in seriously for retrenchment and re
form. The audacity of the United
States Senate in refusing all retrench
ment and swearing that they will stop
the government unless supplies are
granted on the old extravagant scale,
is pushing on the reform column with
additional impetus every day.—Macon
Tdegraph.
TILDEN AND HENDRICKS.
If Tilden and Hendricks are defeat
ed in November, then the American
,republie is not only rotten and corrupt
at the centre, but its putrescence per
meates to its circumference, and its de
cay and dissolution is only a matter of
time. How under the sun any honest
American citizen can refuse to support
the ticket based upon the great- ■plat
form of St: Louis we cannot -imagine.
The Radical party has made our coun
try odious along with itself, and a four
more years’ lease of its ,power would-be
the death rattle to our-rystem of gov
ernment. .
BIBB FOR HARDEMAN.
The meeting in Ralston Hall yester
day was was one of the largest and most
representative assemblages we have ev
er seen in- the eity. Not a discordant
note wasstruok, not a word was uttered
that could impair the perfect unity and
harmony of the Democracy. It was
clearly evid jut that Bibb county was
unanimous for Col. Thomas Hardeman,
and the instructions in his behalf to
the delegates chosen to represent her
in the convention, were emphatic and
unmistakable.
They are to use all honorable means
to secure his elevation to the Execu
tive chair, as the first and only expres
sed choice of our people, and we trust
the effort may provlrtriumphantly suc
cessful. Without any disparagement
of his competitor, it is but fair -to say
that in political experience and statefl
manship, in fertility of resource, calm
judgment, unswerving integrity, and
the power to govern and the opinions
of the masses, Col. Hardeman has not
a superiot in the State. We kuow of
no safer paty leader, and he would
make a magnificent Centennial Gover-.
nor.
Besides, if devotion to his native
State in the field, on the hustings, and
in the halls of legislation ; if arduous
and unselfish Irbor at his own cost to
redeem the commonwealth from negro
and Radical rule ; if a long Hfe of ac
tivity ip the cause of education, agri
culture and human progress are enti
tled to consideration, then should his
grateful countrymen elevate him to the
position which is the goal of a laudable
ambition, and thus reward a faithful
aud patriotic servant.-— Telegraph.

J. R. Hayes,
Clerk of Council.
Times are hard we knew, but if you don’t
take the Democrat you are a sinner. It is
‘‘chucked” full of good news and only 8-2
The Suvanuah News, ia speaking of the
late Fultonscounty election, and in favor
■of Gen. Colquitt, thus insuits 2,557 of the
eitizens of Atlanta :
In a vote of 2,557, be was beaten by a
.majority of some -230. The vote be did
receive was the honest, substantial ele
ment of the city, and its largeness under
the circumstances was very complimen-
tarytto him, as evincing that the good
people there had the discrimination and
pluck to stand up and support a worthy
candidate. But large as his support was,
it was not potent enough and numerous
enough to overcome the ring strength,
and he was defeated.
And it is also refreshing to know that
faaX prrticular friend of the News, and
the great anti-ring man of the State, H.
I. KimbaH, late “developer,” etc., voted
for Colquitt. See following from Augus
ta Chronicle and Sentinel :
A letter from Atlanta states that Mr. H.
I. Kimball rode to the polls in a Colquitt
carriage and voted a Colquitt ticket.
Chronicle & Sentinel : Even the Cin
cinnati Enquirer supports Governor Til
den. This is good. The millennium lias
-come. The soft money lion lies down
with the hard money lamb and a little
child shall lead them to the polls in No
vember.
On account of its hatred of Atlanta the
Savannah News has espoused the cause
General Colquitt for Governor, albeit the
Central lives in Fulton county.
By George 1 this thing’s getting monot
onous. Harris hasn’t thrown a rotton
onion, or anything of his kind, at us in
three or four weeks.
It is needless for us to say that this re
sult is going to materially strengthen
Gen. Colquitt in the whole State outside
of that city. It discloses his unaccepta
bility to the ring influences of the carpet
bag capital of our State . It shows that
he had no hold upon the combinations
that are supposed to be potential there,
and he bad no hold because he was not
identified with them and would not be
used them.—Sav, News on Fulton County
Election.
And yet, dear News, General Colquitt
must have thought that he ‘‘had a hold
upon the combinations that are supposed
to be potential there,” or he would not
have participated in the dog fight for the
Fulton delegation.
We have received a communication
from Mitchell county in reference to
the Senatorial question, but too late for
this issue Will give it a place and
our attention next week. In the mean
time we would state, rotation or no ro
tation, we are for I. A. Bush first, last
and all the time, unless the convention
decides otherwise.
William Allen can heap coals of fire
on Tilden’s head by taking the stump
ifor him'in Ohio. Will he do it .
Political Dots from the N- Y. Sun.
Now let our Uncle Samuel’s banners l>e
flung to the breeze ; let his picture, with
it’s Roman features, adorn the walls anti
windows ; let bis name be the watchword
of the people ; let the poets thrum their
lyres, and sound his fame ; let the orr-
tors mount their stilmps to secure -the
election of Tilden the Reformer.
Whatever prejudices maybe indulged
in on the part of Republicans and Tam-
manyites against Mr. Tilden, toot a whis
per nor a breatu is breathed anywhere
against Mrs. Tilden. .This is one of the
pleasant features of the campaign—no
body says anything against Mrs. Tilden.
We yesterday received several letters
asking what is Gov. Tilden’s religion, and
we tell our correspondents and the rest of
mankind that his is the Christian religion;
that he is of the Presbyterian denomina
tion ; and that he has given proof of the
sincerity of his faith by enforcing in the
performance-of his official duties that di
vine commandment, Thou shalt not steal.
St. Louis understands the true war cry
in the coming fight against dominant cor
ruption. It is reform. What we need
in this country at this time is an entire
new deal. Sixteen years of continuous
power has corrupted the Republican par
ty, which started as the exponent of mo
ral ideas and the higher law in politics.
It has become the exponent of thievery
and extravagance in practical govern
ment. The people must away with it, in
order to bring back political health.
On account of large stock of material on
hand, and the scarcity of money in circula
tion, I will repair Watches, Clocks and Jew

Drowned.
Last week a son of Mr. Wm. Mitchell,
who lives in the lower part of this county
was drowned in his mill pond. It seems
that everybody had left the mill and the
lad went in bathing, took the cramp and
perished. He was 18 yeats of age.
If Hon. Thomas Hardeman was an Old
Line Whig before the war, is that any
reason why he would nut make as good
a Governor as if he had been a Democrat?
Yet that thing is being used against him
in this county.

of Col. Fleming, of Decatur, for Demo*
