The Gainesville Convention lias been
in sesaion six days without nominating;
a candidal; for Congress. The perti
nacity of the friends of the respective,
candidates for the nomination, is with
out parallel in the history of Georgia
Conventions. For a week i ach side
has adhered to its man with marked
obduracy. The indications at present
point to a speedy and happy solution of
the difficulties by which the Conven
tion has been environed The proba
bilities are that a compromise will tie
effected which will result in the aban
donment of both Hill and Hell, and the
nomination of Rillups, of Morgan, or
Dorsey, of Hall.
non. A. 11. Ktrpliens at Sparta.
The Times and Planter says:
On Wednesday night Mr. Stephens
was serenaded at the residence of Mrs
Linton Stephens, and promised the
crowd aD address the following day.
At the adjournment of court, at noon,
he ascended the stand and proceeded to
give the crowd assembled a “social
talk,” as he called it. It was far more
than a "talk.” however. It was an ad
dress of great interest . 11 is address
was mostly devoted to the financial
condition of the country, which he con
aiders anything but healthy. He il
I us'rated the action of Congress look
ing toward specie payment, by likening
ii to a convention of cotton planter
some years ago who resolved that the
natural price of cotton was nine cents,
and yet had to sell the same season at
hall'the money, Up dwelt at length
upon the necessity of the South becom
ing commercially independent of the
North. We are growing poorer and
poorer, because, instead of receiving
seventeen cents in gold for our cotto:..
direct from European bands, wo take
three cents a pound less from North
ern hands, and that iu a depreciated
cutrenry. His points on this subject
were all well taken and sustained ad
mirably. Mr. Stephens then briefly
referred to bis action in the last Con
gress; and explained to some extent
his positions. He asserted that his
actions were all governed by the strict
est adherence to sot nd Democratic
principles, and his desire to bring the
country back to its original good gov
ernment. He had never doubted the
patriotism of the Democratic leaders,
but doubted the wisdom of their tactics,
and therefore differed with them. ?he
“Southern Address” he said had
proven a two edged sword with which
the Radical leaders had carried through
the foroe bill. They had used the
argumeut that this address was neces
sary to keep down the spirit of rebel
lion in our section. And on the other
hand that it gave them license to and
whatever they desired. Ho was for
law-and order in the halls of Congress,
and everywhere ; and he believed, and
leading Democrats had admitted to
him that their filibustering had, in the
end. united the factions of Radicalism,
and enabled them to pass the civil
rights bill. In regard to the third
term, he said that its agitation but
welded the Radicals together, ami in
stead of weakening Grants,trengthened
him; that the usurpations were charg
able to Congress and not to Grant.
He re affirmed that the evidence from
Louisiana proved one par'y as corrupt
os the other; and as soon Congress
would sustain Kellogg as MeEnery—
; Ub claiming their position through
t! e most stupendous frauds He had
never bartered principle for vict iry in
anything, and never would. Depar
tures from the true principles of the
.Jeffersonian Democracy bad resulted
iu defeat and ever wil'. He -aid Grant
was the best man toward the South who
bud ever drawn sword against us ; be
Was better t han Blair. He said he was
8g insl all compromise with Radical
ism. He had never chosen between
two Radicals and he never would. He
w mid iid with an eloquent denial of
the charge that he bad turned Radical ;
and said when Alec Stephens changes
ft; m the principles of government in
which he was reared, then will the sun
c 1 atge it* course—rising in the went
ai d setting in the east —and the rivers
finw upwards to the mountains.

This is a story from Calii'o.nia.

For the Herald.
The llesturnlion of (lie South
Editor Herald,— It is a painful
truth, that immigrants do not seek
homes in the South; and it is like
wise true, that many of our people
are undet the necessity of sending
North for Goods and implement*
of husbandry which ought to be
made at home. It’s a good sign to
see people sensible of their wants.
The next step towards the advance
ment of a country, is that its citi-
zens rightly understand the retfl
cause of the evils under which they
groan.
Sinco the war in many sections
of the South, our people (of whom
better things might have been ex
pected) instead of going to work
earnestly to improve their own con
dition and to improve especially
the poorer laboring class in their
midst, have been in a state of pain
ful anxiety and idleness awaiting
the dawn of good times, hoping
that a change would take place in
politics by which they wouhj get
relief from the ills of the war, and
of heir own idleness and supine
ness. The people of the North
went to work earnestly to repair
the damages of the unhappy war,
and behold the result ! look at the
contrast !
The people of the North, not pol
iticians, arc willing to do all they
can to lend us a helping hand.—
IsnTthis magnanimity and should
we reciprocate it ? For proof of
this, look at the political tidal
wave of 187 4 It would have been
well for us had we given healthful
employment to our bodies in hon
est labor in lieu of indulging in
vain dreams regarding the future,
or in grieving complaint conse
quent upon our own supinencss and
lollies. There was plenty of work
to do, and as has been demonstra
ted, negro labor could he employed
cheaper and to greater advantage
than any other—cheaper than in
the days of slavery. Is it strange,
then, that evidences of decay and
bankruptcy were visible on every
hand ? The more reckless of the
youth of our country, instand of
going to hard toil and helping their
fathers to gain an honest subsis
tence, spent their time at the bar
room discussing the political and
pecuniary situation of the country
and in some instances wore guilty
of crimes which both disaffected
the negro as a labor and drove toil
ing emigrant from our midst.—
More time was spent at Railroad
stations and at some convenient
hotel front, under the shades of
umbrageous trees, arguing to their
own satisfaction, the question of
race superiority, &c , than would
have been requiied to bring the
question to a practical issue in the
farm, in the work-shop or the man
ufactory Misery and crime were
the consequence. There was wind
talk .about a Government for w hite
men. Yet those clamoring for such
a Government were doing nothing
towards the consummation of such
a blessed result; on the contrary,
by such conduct were subjecting
themselves to wrr.t and all the con
sequent evils of laziness. Now
that the Democrats have in part
got the ascendency cf the Govern
ment, would it not be well for our
people, as a mass, to encourage
good feeling towards all citizens,
including the emigrant, and the la
borer especially ?
Ten years have been devoted to
the policy of race and sectional es
trangement, and no good but great
evil has been the result. Let the
opposite be tried even for on; year
and we will have no cause to mur
mur at the result. Trade will
flourish, fortunes in part will he re
stored, and capital will establish
manufactories and build up our
waste places. Immigration will
turn its course Southward and fair
prosperous, sunny cities and towns
will be surrounded by diversified
industries and fertile fields. The
terms “North and South” with
those of “Rebel and Yankee”
would cease to denote eith cr con
trast or alienation of feeling and
ours would soon be a glorious pros
perous country—an asylum for
the oppressed
The restoration of the Flag of
the 54th Massachusetts Volunteers,
captured at Fort Wagner, July,
1863, by Gen. Roswell S. Ripley,
and tbe presentation of a Flag by
the Military Organization of Bos
ton, to the Charleston Light Infan
try, are events which show that the
prejudices of the war are dying out.
and a restoration of that fraternal
feeling so indispensable to the pros
perity of a country is by no means
visionary. \V ill our countrymen

the late equinox of Venus, states

heavy rainfalls, and cyclones, such
as water-spouts and tornadoes. The
cycle recurs again nbon the mid

twenty days before and after,

noted. He claims that there are
meteorological cycles which are in
fluenced by the equinox of Venus,
and the record of the phenomena
he adduces not only proves the oc
currence of perturbations at these
equinoxes, hut that they begin to
manifest themselves as early as
twenty and sometimes as early as
twenty-five days anterior to the oc
currence of the equinox, and may
continue as many days subsequent
to it The exact day of bad wea

where it is liable to he the greatest

mentioned the other day, Andrew
