ITU. IIKI* RESENT AT ION.
The call of the roll then proceeded.
Every county was representsd except
Appling and Quitman. 'l'ho Con
veulion then took a recess till three
o’clock this evening.
The Convention met according to
adjournment. The committee to
which was referred the matter of the
contesting delegation from Fulton
county offerred the following report:
Whereas, the evidence in the con
tested case from Fulton is conflicting
and confused, and for the purpose of
preserving party unity and harmony,
it is recommended that both delega
tions Wo admitted to seals in tins Con
vention. and that the united delega
lion cast the votes in this Convention.
Maj. W. E. Simmons, of.Cwinnctt,
offered the following as a substitute :
Whereas, The delegation of Ful
ton, composed of U J. Cowart, J.
Thomas, H. 11. Hill, It. O. Mitchell,
K. S. Kay and F. I*. Howell, was
elected by a Democratic convention
of said county, which said call was
published in both the Democratic
papets of Atlanta for the space of
three weeks ; and,
Whereas, There is no e\ idonce that
any fraud was practiced in the selec
tion of said delegates, or intimidation
used to prevent a full, fair and free
expression of the choice of the De
ilioctaey of said county for represent
tatiivn in this Convention, therefore,
Resolved, That said delegates are
properly entitled to represent the
Democracy of Fulton in this Conven
tion, and that they ho permitted to
take their seats as the legitimate rep
resentativss of said county.
Hon. Nathan Hass, one of the com
mittee, stated that while ho believed
from the evidence that the delegates
elected on the 15th were the proper
delegates, for the sake of harmony he
acquiesced in the report.
Mr. McKihhin, of Hulls, sympa
thized with the last delegates, ret he
did no*, wish to establish a precedent
by admitting both delegates. The
last delegates ware anti Greeley, and
so was he ; yet lie could not jeopard
ize Democratic harmony and uuitv
by admitting them.
Major Simmons said in support of
his resolutions that lie sympathized
with the last elected delegates, but
the Convention must repudiate this
spirit of disorganization. The first
delegates were elected by a conven
tion called by the only authority an
moused to speak for the Democracy
v>! 1" ulton county.
Garnett McMillan supported the
report of the committee, and pro
posed to amend by striking out lh°
clause “that the united delegation
cboiild cast the vote of the county,”
and inserting ‘‘that on all questions
where the Fulton county delegation
have a controlling vote that the con
vention should then decide which
delegation should cast the vote.”—
This was subsequently withdrawn.
Hon. Robert Tombs called the
previous question. 'I he call was sus
tained by yeas 203, nays 95.
This brought the vote on the sub
stitute offered bv Major Simmons.

From tbc llawkinsville Dispsth, 19.
A Fiendish Outrage-The Per
petrator Pursued, Captured
and flanged.
On Thursday last a monstrous
crime was committed on a white
married lady living about eleven
miles below r llawkinsville, in the
lowei portion of Pulaski county. An 1
account of the outrage, (correct so
far it goes,) has already appeared
in the Macon Telegraph, arid believ-;
ing it is best that the full particulars j
should he published we shall en
deavor to give them.
On tho day slated, Joe Phillips, a
stout negro about twenty-one years
old, went to the house of Mr. Charl
ton Lovett, (for whom he was work
ing), and demanded food of Mrs.
Lovett Mrs, L. proceeded to com
ply with his request, when she was
seized by the fiend and compelled to
yield to his carnal and hellish desires.
He choked her, and threatened her
with instant death if site resisted or
made any noise.
He immediately fled. The alarm
was given, and pursuit made by sev
eral of Mr. Lovett’s neighbors. They
came up with the negro at the house
of Dave Pollock, colored. Ho was
taken and was being brought to
llawkinsville, but made his escape at
the lower bridge on Big Creek, by
jumping from a high point. As he
leaped from the bridge, one of the
party (Mr. Iluntell) fired at him with
a double barrel gun. Another of the
guard raised his gun, but it refused
fire, and the snapping frightened the
horse of Mr. Miller, which prevented
his shooting.
Thus the negro escaped from his
first captors. A few hours afterwards
a large number of men from town
and vicinity were hunting him. He
came directly toward town. Passing
by Mr. John Holder’s farm, ho went
to the house and called for his break
fast, staling that Mr. Holder had
hired hiiritolioo. After eating some,
he filled his hands and started for the
cotton field, but only to keep going.
Tho next seen of Joe Phillips he
was beyond the cemetery, and had
called on a colored woman for a hat,
as he had lost his at Big Creek
bridge. Here he was pursued ashort
distance by Marshall Parker, but es
caped. He then swam the river
above the. railroad bridge, by taking
oil his clothes and tieing them on his
head.
From this point his tracks were
soon after discovered by Messrs.
William 31. Anderson and Henry
Waterman, who followed him closely
till late in the evening, when they
came upon him at the plantation for
merly owned by Newt Sutton. They
first called til tho house of Air. Bald
win Jones, who has charge of the
plantation, and informed Biin of the
object of their search. Mr. Jones
accompanied Messrs. Anderson and
Waterman. A heavy rain was fall
ing and till the laborers on the place
had taken refuge in a building in the
field and it was believed that Joe
Phillips was also thete.
By the time the three men had ar
rived witiiir a few hundred yards of
the house it had ceased raining, and
they were going to work. Mr. Joues
was too far to know their faces, hut
counted them and saw there was one
too many. Anderson and Waterman
kept a distance from the house and
out of sight from the freedmau so as
to allay suspicion. Mr. Jones then
went to his hands, and found Joe
Phillips with them.
He caught hold of the negro and
claimed him as a prisoner. The ne
gro resisted and M. Jones drew his
pistol.
Then ensued a scuffle. The negro
grasped the pistol and endeavored to
wrench it from Mr. Jones’ hands,
lie also seized Mr. Joues’ hand and
bit it severely, thinking by this
means to obtain possession of the
weapon.
Hearing the words, “Turn my hand
louse!” Anderson and Waterman
rode forward. Jones and the negro
were seen upon the ground, but sud
denly both rose. The negro run and
Jones raised his pistol, but it revolv
ed on an unloaded barrel. The next
revolution it tired, but the ball missed.
Jones wn* pursuing tho negro, and
agaiu fired. This time the ball en
tered the left arm above the elbow,
and the negro rolled over on the
ground as it dead, lie was soou
upon his feet, however, and from
thence was brought to Hawkinsvillc
and placed in jail. The party reach
ed hero about eight o’clock on Fri
day night.
THE I‘RISO.VKR TAKEN Ol'T FOR TRT 11..
On Saturday afternoon citizens of
the District in which the crime was
committed called for tho prisoner,
and he was turned over to them by
Sheiitl Fulghuiu. He was to be
taken befuro the Magistrate of the
District in which he lived, and there
stand a commitment Ilia'. The par
ty having him in charge had proceed
ed as far as Big Creek bridge, where
a large number of citizens (said to be
from seventy-five to two hundred)
from various parts of the country had
gathered.
THE HANGING.
Next morning Joe Phillips was
found hanging to an oak limb a few
loot from the road, lie had sutfered
the penalty of his crime. The pun- j
ishuient was summary it is true, but!
none can say it was unmerited, lie
was more brute than human, for be
it known that but a few vears ago lie
was severely whipped iu the same
neighborhood for attempting a simi
lar crime upon another person, llis
mother, 100, on learning of his death
tlie same day, rejoiced, for she en
tered her evidence against him as a
most unnatural being.
Large numbers of the negroes from
the surrounding country visited the
scene on Sunday, and beheld him sus
pended as left the night previous.
They murmured not a word, for they
deemed the punishment just.
Above we have endeavored to give
a plain statement of this horrid affair.
Some of our readers may think duty,
as well as modesty, forbids the publi
cation of such occurrences. We think
differently, and could give our rea
sons were it necessary. Let the
truth he told and no harm can result
therefrom.
During our interview, the Amer
ican Consul at Bankok. presented
the King an elegant assortment
of his medicines from Dr. J. C.
Ayer, of Lowell, Mass., for the
use of the Court. He explained
to his majesty their origin from
the great chemist and their uses.
The Cherry Pectoral for coughs—
the Sarsaparilla for eruptive dis
eases and the Ague Cure for the
fevers that are so fatal in this hot
country. The dangerous condi
tion of a favorite wife in the pal
ace with one of the disorders these
medicines cure, gave him special
interest in these products of med
ical skill ; indeed, these medical
marvels interested him more in
our country than all the other at
tentions we had shown him.—Let
