The Georgia Democratic Conven tion, the proceedings of which will bo found elsewhere, has elected dele gates to represent the State in the National Democratic Convention, at Baltimore next Tuesday. With the men who have been chosen for this duty, wc are willing to risk our good old State. We find among the del egates, such worthy and trusted cit* izens as Hon. Thomas Hardeman, Generals neory L. Henning, John B. Gordon, and Alfred Colquitt, who, with many others good and true to their country, are capable, of repre senting Georgia in the great Conven tion of States. We will abid.6 their action, and it is the duty of every patriot in the land to support the nominee whom they, with others, put before the South for the Presidency., We shall await with much anxiety the Convention of the people's rep resentatives from all parts of the Union, and if a partial Democratic victory seems probable by a co-oper ation with the Liberal Republicans,, we should acquiesce in the alliance and keep our party intact. A divis ion would he fatal. PulHski {'niton iiikl Wool Will*. The Cotton Factory in this place, which was a short time agojpurchased and put in operation pj* Messrs. Lamar &, King, of Savannah, is do ing a very heavy business in the man ufacture of yarns and cloths. We paid the Factory a receut visit, and found an endless variety of machinery in moti'on, whirling and whizzing in every part of the building. The pow erful engine below moved the vast number of spindles above with a ve locity which seemed almost miracu lous; yet all these spindles are un der the perfect control of tiny and nimble hands. Mr. King returned from the North a flow weeks ago with a large number of new looms, and the weaving capac ity of the Factory is now five or six times greater than when run by the old stock company. The proprietors have la their employ about twenty fire White persons of both sexes and Os all sizes. Quite a number of small boys and girls find steady employ ment, and besides earning an honest living,wire growing up to be useful men and women. In these respects the Factory is a blessing to the poor er classes, and a pecuniary and moral advantage to the community. We wish there were factories enough in Georgia to convert into material every pound of cotton in the State, Then we would be a prosperous peo ple in fact as well as in word. Wc are glad to know that the fac tory is doing an excellent business, and that ready sale is obtained for every pound of yarn and yard of cloth made. A large amount of the yarns are eyen sent to Philadelphia, where they command ruling prices. They are then returned to Southern mar kets. We notice also that Messrs. Lamar & King are now purchasing raw cotton in Macon and shipping it to this place for the use of their Factory. Whether cotton is cheaper* >n Macon or whether there is none for sale here, we know not, bn* the fact is several bales were brought down by the cars on Monday even ing for the use we have stated. Superior Court. Judge Pate is this week holding the adjourned term of Pulaski Supe rior Court. There is much business on band, and a few old cases have already been disposed of. The Grand Jury is still deliberating upon coun ty matters, much important business being before the body. Besides the local members of the bar, we notice in attendance Gen. Eli Warren,- and Col. C. C. Duncan, of Perry, also Solicitor General Stanley and Col. J. Rivers of Dublin. State Democratic Convention.! [From the Adnata Bun,27ih.

[Considerablejcxeiteinent and troub ble ensued when two delegations claimed seats from Fulton. To set-' tie the question required a vast amount of the Convention’s time. The delegates first elected in the county were finally given scats. After a lengthy debate upon this question the Convention adjourned till threee o'clock.] AFTERNOON SESSION. The Convention was called to or der by the Chairman at 3 o’clock P. M. Col. Thomas Hardeman, chairman of Committee on Business, reported the following resolutions, which were unayimoubly adopted by acclamation: Resolved, That the Democratic party of Georgia stand upon the prin ciples of the Democratic party of the Union, bringing iuto special promi nence, as applicable to the present extraordinary condition of the coun try, the unchangeable doctrine that this is a union of States, and that the indestructibility of the States, of their rights, and of their equality with each other, is an indispensable part of our political system. Resolved, That In the approach ing election the Democratic party in v tes everybody to co-operate with iheni in a zealous determination to change the present usurping and cor rupt administration, by placing in power men who are true to the prin ciples of constitutional government, and to a faithful and economical ad ministration of public affairs. Resolved, That, in our opinion, the delegates to the Baltimore Con vention should go untrammelled by instructions, and should sod with all the lights before them, os they deem best for the good of the party and for the welfare ot tbe country. Resolved, That this Convention will appoint, twenty-two delegates, to represent this State in the Balti more Convention, to assemble on the 9th July, and that we recommend that the said delegatee be selected as follows: The delegate* from each [Congressional District shall select two delegates, with alternates, and the Chairman of the Conventien shall appoint a committee of three from each Congressional District, who shall suggest the names of eight del egates, with alternates, for the State at large. ♦ i Colonel Thomas Hardeman moved, the appointment of a committee, con sisting-of ihne from each Congress innal District, to report nominations. for delegates from tin* State at large, j to tbe Baltimore Convention. The motion was adopted, and the follow, j ing gentlemen appointed on the com mittee : Ist, Way, Sweat Moore. 2d, //.twkins, Munnerlyn, Horne. 3d, Wilkins, Little, Candler. 4th, Holt, Glover, Crawford. sth, Billups, Little, Lang. 6th, J. I*. Simmons, Hockenhull, Roil wine. , 7th, Blance, noward. Rankin. Here Mr. N. L. Trammell offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously carried: Resolved, That fully appreciating the difficulties * which attended the inauguration of our present State ad ministration, the Democratic party of the State of Georgia congratulate the people that the affairs of the State, under the safe, wise aud efficient di rection of Governor James M. Smith, have been brought from confusion and corruption to an honest and eco nomical system. Resolved, That we heartily in dorse the ai!ministration of Governor Smith, in the full Itelief that his ef forts for the maintenance of law aud good government will greatly tend to promote the prosperity of our State and the return to an era of wisdom, justice and moderation. Col. Cannon, of Bartow, then offer ed the following resolution : Resolved, That the Democracy of Georgia having confidence in the Great Democratic party of the Union, will, in gopd faith abide the action of the Baltimore Convention. The motion was seconded. Gen. A. B. Wright moved to lay the res olution on the table, which was done by an overwhelming vote. Hon. Wnrren Aiken, after some little delay in the proceedings, moved to take up the resolution from the table, stating that the Convention did not know what it was doing.— (C. W. Styles interrupted: “I reck on wc have sense enough to know what we are doing; the wisdom of the Convention laid it on the table.”) Mr. Aiken proceeded, saying that if he was deficient in wisdom he would not seek it from the gentleman who had just interrupted him; that he “moved to take up the resolution for the purpose of allowing the gentle man who had of re red iuto withdraw; that he himself was willing to vote for it, but lie did not waul it to go out to t'.e world that the Georgia State Democratic Convention hail refused to express its confidence in the Dem ocratic party ; if we sent delegates to the Convention and ut the Riioie lime refused to abide llieir action, we did wrong. (General Toombs: “If he wants to take it out, let him take it out.'*) (ion. A. J. Hansell seconded the motion to take up; whereupon the motion was adyptod, and the resolu tion was v ithdruwn. B H. Hill then arose and took oc casion to declare, and issue an edict t« the effect that it was the under standing that tli re was to be no re cord of the resolution whatever; he hoped there would be none; that all this Convention expected to abide the Baltimore Convention; that the Convention were satisfied with their action, that they were nl ready pledged to abide the action of the Baltimore Convention, and therefore the resolution was unnecessary. He hoped the resolution would bu with drawn by unanimous consent of the Convention. The resolution was. however, tabled, afterwards with drawn, and records of both facts ap pear. The Convention then took a.recess of half hour. Upon re-assctnHing, on motion of C. IV. Styles, the names of gentlemen recommended as delegates from the districts were then rend, viz: Ist District, G R. Black; of Scre ven ;\V. D. Mitchell, of Thomas. Alternates—John B. Habersham, C. H. Way, of Chatham. 2d District, J. K. Barnnm,of Stew art; W. A. Hawkins,of Sumter. Al- ternate—E. C. Bower. 3d District, W. I. Hudson, of Har ris, R. D. Spalding, of Troup. Alter nates, L. U. Featherstone, of Cowe ta ; E. W. Crocker of Houston. 4t% District, J. M. Gray, of Jones;* L. T. Doval, of Spalding. Alternates —R. B. Xisbet, of Tutnam; G. T. Bartlett, of Jasper. stk District, E. H.

Al ternates, Jackson Graham, of Milton; John H. Skelton, of Hart. 7th District, David Irwin, M. A. Chandler. Alternates, N. Bass, E. J. Roach. Gen. Toombs moved that the gen tlemen recommended and nominated in the 6th district be aooepte.l by the Convention. Some one moved an amendment that they all be accepted. Gen. Toombs: “Can’t accept tbe amendment. Want my men to them selves. You can do what you please, with the others.” (Applanse and laughter.) The amendment was put and adopted, thereby electing all . the delegatee nominated. The Committee to whom was re ■ fWred the nomination of candidates from the State at large, then reported, recommending the following named gentlemen: F ' Gen. Henry L. Benning, of Mus cogee ; Geu. A. K. Wright, of Rich mond ; Col. Thomas llatdemau, of Bibb; Hon. Julian Uartridge, of Chatham; Gen. A. H. Colquit, of DeKalb: Col. C. T. Goode, of Sum ter ; Gen. Johnß. Gordon of DeKalb; Col. I. W. Avery, of Fulton. Alterffates, Hon. Jno. C. Xicholls, of Pierce; C. T. Lathrup, ot Pulnski; ,W. O. Tuggle, of Troup; Col. WJA. Lofton, of Bibb; Hon. Geo. F. Pierce jr., of Hancock; llou. L. X. Trammell, of Whitfield ;J. W. H. Underwood, of Floyd. Gen. Toombs rematked that as for him, with one or t -o-exceptions the alternates were proper men for dele gates ; and that the delegates, with one or two exceptions, mentioning General Colquitt, were not the men for the place. He protested against the proceeding, and said he, for one, was “out of it.” It was then moved to accept the report, whicli being put, was adopted—not unanimously, how ever. Gen. Toombs bravely said he wanted one “no" recorded. Hon. J. C. Nicholls, of Pierce, here arose and inquirer! if it was not the proper time to elect a State Ex ecutive Committee. He understood that the State Executive Committee were called to meet at night for 'the purpose of choosing a committee. He desired to know if that was author ized, alul if it was not time to elect another by this Convention. Gen. Toombs said it was the time, but not the opportunity. The Chairman stated that the com mittee would meet at night for tlif purpose of calling another convention to make a nomination for Gover nor. C. W. Styles, one of the present committee, then arose and declared tbe time hid not yet arrived for the election of another committee. Any one acqainlcd with Demo cratic usage and the custom of the party knew that this was not the annual meeting, and the Committee had not served out its time ; but that 'he would surrender his position as a member of the Committee; and ns for the s'.ur which the gentleman had cast upon him in his remarks, he had nothing to do with it. Here Mr. Nicholls arose and "said: “I don’t think any gentleman could misconstrue—” Just at that moment Mr. Styles, who was on the opposite side of the ailsc, assaulted Mr. Nicholls in pres ence of the Convention, striking at that gentleman’s head with a heavy walking cane. Mr. Nichols managed to ward off the blow, rushed towards Styles, wrenched the cane from his hands. When friends interfered and Separated the parties. On motion of Henry J. Lang, of Lincoln, the following resolutions were offered and unanimously adop ted : Resolved, That the thanks of this convention are hereby tendered to Hon. A. R. Lamar for the very able ami dignified manner in which lie bar, presided over this convention. Resolved, That the thanks of this convention are tendered to Dr. J. D. Waddell, T. W. J. Hill, L C. Car rington, and It. C. McCamy, for the efficient discharge of their duty as Secretaries. The convention adjourned sine die.

On Tuesday, the 28th of February, 1871, Judge Fish, (who had been re cently apjMiinted District Judge by Governor Bullock.) was killed at 1:30 a. m., at the town of Oglethor|>e, the county-seat of Macon county. The ciroumstances as related by an eye witness, a colored man, are as fol lows: The brlored man went to meet the Montezuma train. Judge Fish came on it, and had quite a bundle of papers; these the freedman volunteered to carry and both ap proached tbe Court House; when close to it, a flash was seen to issue from the door; a report followed, and the Judge sank to the earth never to yise again. The colored man, as soon as he could recover the shook, ran and aroused the neighborhood.— The Judge lived about 20 minutes, but never spoke. Till SUPPOSED MURDERER. The first man arrested on suspicion was Henry Stubbs, a colored man.— He was incarcerated in the county jail, and in the meantime two detec tives, Messrs. Murphy and Raspbury, arrived from Atlanta. Their inves tigations resulted in the arrest first of Holsenbake and afterwards of J. C. Lloyd. THEY CONVICT THEMSELVES. It was soon found that Stubbs was innocent, and that Holsenbake was the man who had committed the deed. He and Stubbs were in ad joining cello and were able to eon verse, but in such a loud tone that all they said eras necessarily over heard, and the confessions of Holsen bake, coupled with other suspicious circumstances, Lloyd was arrested, and Stubbs taken as .. a witness against them. Holeenbake admitted ;to Stubbe that Lloyd was the insti gator of the whole affair; that with out him he would not have done it; | that when be did the shooting he had made a lino shot J Lloyd and Holaeabake won tried Col. Fish, and wen sentenced to be hanged on last Friday, 28th day of June. They had been sent to Dougherty county jail for safe keep ing, and on Thursday before hanging day were brought back to Ogle thorpe. t Friday morning by sunrise large crowds began to enter the town. At the hour of eleven the prisoners were carried to the place of execution. On their arrival Holsenbake was assisted up, as the wound lie in the th’gh while trying to escape last fall, prevented his walking or even standiug alone. Lloyd walked up with much firmness. Botli then sat down, umbrellas being held over them. The heat was now intense.— The clouds had drifted away and the sun poll rod down in fierce rays on the unshaded spot.' A large square had been corded off and round the edge of this the guards did* duty, keeping every one away except those whose business unfortunately called them to the centre. The ropes were now produced and were adjusted by Sheriff Lee, assisted by Mr. Damage, a former sheriff of the county, and Deputy Sheriff Greer. The fatal npose was first put over the head Os Lloyd, who, seizing it in his hands, tried its rtrength and apparently the possibility of it giving way from above. Wheu it came to Holscn bake’s turn he rose, and not being satisfied with the loiigth, asked for more roj>e, and measuring the drop by his own length by putting the noose on his toe, remarked, “If it has got to come, let it come.” Exactly at 11:50, Sheriff Lee announced the execu tion was about to take place. He said they had one hour to lire, and during that time each of them would be allowed thirty minutes to address the crowd if they wished. IIOLSKNIIAKK SPEAKS. Holsenbake rose with difficulty. He was supported on * each side.— Lloyd was sitting down chewing to bacco calmly, with his back against one of the posts. 11c eyed Holsen bake closdly and listened to him witli profound attention. Having takq:i water freely, Holsenbake said,-in substance, ns follows: Fellow-citizens, wo are met here on a most solemn occasion -—met here to take my litc. I en treat your prayers. I ask your fer vcni praj'ers in my liclialf. The fer vent.prayer of tin* righteous avuilelh much, and in praying for me vow may convert your own souls. I ap pear before you as a criminal about to suffer an ignominious death, but I can sincerely say that at heart I am no criminal. lam about to lie uu justly executed. I have failed to <de tain justice in the courts of law. Tho laws have been illegally or unjustly executed. Ido not speak ns a law yer, lint so it seems to me. I am arraigned as the principal for the crime of murdering a man who has tong, since gone “to that b nirue from whence no traveler ’ere returns.” I trust God has been merciful to hhn. lam the man who tool: hie life. [Murmurs of horror.] I Bid it when under great irritation ; 1 bad lost my reason ; I was a hionumauinc; l had nothing against Col. Fish, but I had heard that lie bad desecrated the dearest affections of my heart; that lie bad violated my household ties and sullied the reputation of my lit tle daughter, who, thank God, has been for mouths in Heaven, and I trust I shall speedily l»e with.her. 1 do not feel as though I was the au thor .of this crime. Everything I have stated concerning my accom plice has been honestly and truthfully stated. I have been betrayed by wolves in sheeps’ clothing. He then gave the particulars of his confession to Colonel 11. I*. Farrow, late Attorney General sos the State, and stated how it was obtained. In answer to Mrs. Fish, wiio has expressed a wisli on the point. I beg to say that I entirely exonerate Col. Fish from blame, and what I said about him on one occasion was wroug; and my companion, lie is in nocent of all I said about him with reference to that one occasion, but not on others; and another person, I wish to say I believe Jter innocent also. [Pause] , I know of nothing more. Forsake the ways of sin and come to Jesus. His blood will cleanse you from all sin through fervent prayers. 1 hope to meet him and my angel daughter in Heaven. I hope she is now hov ering around me to accompany me through tiic dark valley of the shad ow of death. My heart feels for you sinners. 1 sympathize with you.— Quit bar rooms, let whisky aione ; throw it from you as yotf would n snake ; it is a deadly Bcrpeut; cast it awav. I hope there will come a day when we shall all meet in Heaven and know each other there. He paused and asked the sheriff how much more time he hod. The reply was II minutes. He contin ued : There is another point to which I wish to direct your atten tion. Some of you have been jurors, many of you may be. Be careful always to sift tbe law and evidence; beware of the testimony of a negro, particularly if he is charged with the same offense as another man. You will do well not to trust too much to such evidence. [Pause] I must close. 1 might say much; I might talk to you until night, but it would be useless and unnecessary. There is one remark I must make; I know boom of you are expecting it. Their is sn impression that ether parties were behind tdO in this (Hot ter. Not it my knowledge. If there were, I know nothing of it. It wss unknown to me. I might give 4 sn opinion, iiut my opinion would be % worthless to you. [This was said hesitatingly ffrtd somewhat disconnectedly.) j I have but n few more minutes tc live. 1 wish ts ssk of you not to taunt any of my friends or relatives with ray ignominious death. I beg you will not insult them on my ac count. They are as innocent as you, and bad they known anything about it they would have exerted every power to prevent it. He thanked and complimented the prison officials that had hod charge of bjm, and closed by saying he left tbe world without bearing malice against any man, aud lie hoped no one had a prejudice against him. If there was he did not know it. The a boro speech was well deliv ered. The fiist part of it was at times eloquent. Tbe delivery was dear and distinct, and it appeared os if the entire audieuce caught every word of it. LLOYD’S ADDRESS. Lloyd was now a sisted to rise, lie spake rapidly and in a loud voice. He said.he was in his 62d yen*; had never had R difficulty; never been arrester!; never paid a fine or costs. Had lived irn honorable and useful life. Had never himself, or in 1 collusion with others, entertained one iota of criminal feeling against any man. He explaiuerl the manner in which Holsenbake happened to be at his house. After be came there, be was frequently excited atrout family matters and was cautioned by Lloyd, who advised him to leave the coun try. On one occasion, Lloyd took away bis guns and a rifft: to keep them out ot his way, He (Lloyd) had not ling against Fish ; usd- to laugh about him sometimes. He knew not dn*r of Holsenbake’s design, and lie called God to witness that he was as ignorant of it as they (the au dience) were. Seventeen days after the murder, on the day when //blsenbake was about to leave for good, a warrant was issued for Jones, and then Jones immediately pointed out 7/olsenbuke as the murderer. If he knew thnt was so why did he wait seventeen days to tell it ? Ho declared that- Jones, Farrow and the detectives had hutched the matter up. “I swear,” said he, “before you and before my God, before whom I shall sown ap pear, lam innocent. If I had dream ed of such a thing I woufil not have allowed it.” //c said his death was a conspiracy, and W. B. Jones was at the bottom of it; his Mood would cry for vengeance; and concluded, “I put my blood on him (Jones) for three generations and cull God to witness it. Jones got Stublis out and exerted himself to convict me. i want all Mr. Fish’s family to know it. lam innocent." • Several parties mounter] the scaf | fold to bid good-bye to the unfortu nate men, most of them beinj' much j affect.'d. . At //olscubake’s -request a hymn: was sung, alter which a beautiful an t | appropriate prayer was offered up by the Rjv. l)r. Collins. During these religious .exorcises, tbd audience wore iimcti affected.— 7/olsenbakc was religiously excited, clasping his hands, crying ami ex claiming : “I am going to Jssns;” “O Lord, take me;" “Jesus, save my soul,” etc. Lloyd looked pale but took no notice. Both men were Jliert closely pinioned. LAST UTTERANCES. Lloyd aaid : If I have insinuated anything in what I have said against anv one lam sorry for it; if God con forgive them I can. //olsenliakc said something to thfe same effect. Lloyd continued—l have lived a long time.and have kn wingly done no wrong t> any one. If I have I wiii restore it fourfold. The white caps-were now producer! and everyoue was awaiting the fatal moment. Lloyd said, as the cap wafc being adjusted, “I am about to die. My hands are dear of ahy other man’s blood.” //olsenbake said, “Lord Jesus, re ceive my spirit.” DEATH. The caps were then tied, and at two minutes aud a half before one o’clock three strokes with a hatchet were heard, then a heavy “thud,” a few convulsive struggles, very slight, and the spirits of two mortals had tied to the God who gave them life, there to be arraigned before a tribu nal that cannot err—a J udge whose justice is tempered with mercy. The physicians declared Lloyd dead in 16 minutes. JTolsenbake’s pulse did not cease to beat for 27£ minutes. Their bodies were delivered to their friends, and the vast crowd dis persed. «• . J. D.
