Tlic Baltimore Convention.
The National Democratic Conven
tion assembled yesterday at Baltimore,
and from infiipwati*n receive I fiom
all parts of the country, we have no
doubt as to what the result will be.
Greeley and Brown will either be
nominated or no nomination will be
made, bat llie party will be advised
to support llint ticket in order to de
feat Grant. And we have no doubt
that nine-tenths of the party through
out the country will cheerfully sup
pott whatever course that Convention
deems best. The opposition is daily
growing little by degrees and beauti
fully l<i s. Due after another of the
leading newspapers and proiuiaent
politicians who have hercteforo de
nottneed the coalition of all the ele
ments of opposition to Grant’s ad
ministration, are falling into line and
we will be able, with a few excep
tions, to present an unbroken front to
the enemy. There is a little wing of
the Georgia Democracy which still
threatens to bolt, and denounces in
bitter terms the action of the Con"
vention as a sale—a surrender of the
party to Radicalism, and talks about
calling a Democratic Concent ion with
a coolness which is really surprising.
Georgia has spoken through her
State Convetion, and although Gree
ley and the action of the Baltimore
Convention were not mentioned in so
many words, yet it was well under
stood what would have Iteen the
voice of that body if it had been
thought the best policy to taise an
issue upon that question. No sane
man doubts the patriotism of that
body. L was generallv conceded to
be one of tlie ablest conventions
which ever was held in the State.
The delegates to the Baltimore Con
tion arc our representative men, and
with their action the perqJe will bo
satisfied. Opposition after the action
of 1 lie party will only enure to the
benefit of Giant and we do not be.
lieve that there will he, even in
Georgia, enough impracticable men
to get. up a third party.
The New oik World, which has
been the leader of the opposition, is
prepaiing the way to yield gracefully
and give the ticket a support. We
copy below part of an editoiial from
tiiat paper :
“The National f Vmocratic Con
vention will assemble at Baltimore a
week from tomorrow; and we are
ivluctautly constrained to I elieve
that it will nominate Horace Greeley
as the Democratic candidate for
[’resident Most of the State Con
ventions for appointing deleg ties to
Baltimore have been held, and it
seems tolerably clear that Mr. tiree
lev will have a two thirds majority
on the first ballot. Our readers know
how earnestly we have deprecated
such a result; but as this pre|>oster
ous nomination seems •‘fixed,”' we
suppose we must make the best of it.
‘'ln the strenuous opposition we
have thought it our duty to make,
we have merely exercised the right
w hich belongs to every Democratic
journal*, and eveiy Democratic citizen,
to freely canvass the merits of pro
posed candidates, and to oppose im
projier nominations up to the lime
when the authoritative action of tl*e
National Convention binds the whole
party. We have been as free to pro
test against the nomination of Mr.
Greeley as we were in 1808 to pro
test, against the nomination of Mr.
IVndleton, a gentleman whom we
personally esteemed, but whose gieen
i>ack heresy foredoomed the party to
defeat if it had been so unwise as to
select him for its standard bearer.
And yet, if Mr. Pendleton had been
nominated, four, years ago, we should
have felt bound by our loyalty to the
party to forbear our remonstrances
when the final decision had been
made.
“We were more successful then
than we can expect to he now. Mr.
Greeley is going to Baltimore with
out any competitors. Mr. Hendricks
has virtually committed himself to
Greeley by consenting to run as the
Democratic candidate for Governor
of Indiana in close conjunction with
the Greeley movement; Governor
Seymour ims publicly, and Chief-
Justice Church privately, indorsed
this strauge proposal; Gov. Ran
dolph, who, so long as thete waaanv
hope, was its most active an>! zealous
opponeut, has given in ; Mr. Thur
man’s friends an ! Mr. Pendleton’s
litends make no sign ; Mr. Kerr, who
was perhaps the most thoroughly dis
gusted of our able Democratic states
men, has accepted the situation; and
••vet) Mr. Viiorhees has withdrawn
I.is opposition.
‘•Some enthusiastic Democrats, too
impatient to wait for the action at
Baltiinoie, are- already on the stump
for Greeley; but their method of
conducting his canvass only makes
him ridiculous lor example. Gov.
Vance, a most fervent “copperhead”,
when the National Convention met
in this city, four years ago, addressed
a large crowd in some North Caro
lina town ou Saturday, making an
enthusiastic ami much applauded
Greeley speech. We insert the most
striking and admired passage as
transmitted Gy telegraph :
“‘lie hoped there would be una
nimity at Baltimore, and was sure
North Carolina would give Greeley
and Brown a large majority if in
dorsed there by the Democrats, and
illustrated his position by a humor
ous story of au old preacher into
whose hymn-book some bal boy bad
pasted the old song—
“ Old Grimes is dead ;
That (rood old man,
We n’er shall see him more.”
‘“On opening his hook one day
before a sermon bis eyes fell on this
by mu. lie read the first verse and
slopped with surprise. He wiped his
specs and read it again, and said,
‘‘Brethren, I have been singing out
of this book for forty years; 1 have
never recognized this as a hymn be
fore; but it’s here and I ain’t agwino
to go back on my book now, so please ,
raise the tune and we’ll sing it
through if it kills us”.
‘“Now,” said the Governor, “we
have been singing I feinoci atic hvmns
for forty years down here, and we
have never leeognized Greeley as a
Democrat before; but if the Haiti
mote Convention puts him in our
hymn-book, we'll sing him through
if it kills us.” This was received
with prolonged applause. The Gov
ernor spoke over two hours, to the ;
great delight of the audience, ami
was follow cd by Senator Ransom for
an hour in the same style..
ft'-tT Wo take the following com
plimentary notice of Col. Winn
from the Atlanta Constitution :

Adopted by tin* Sunday
School in Lawreuccville,
Ua., in Regard to their Cute
Superintendent.
It is said, “Tbc righteous shall be in
everlasting remembrance.”
Among those whose moral,social and
Christian virtues deserve to be remem
bered as w orthy of imitation, we may
reckon cur late deceased townsman,
lion. John Mills, who was born
on the 12tli of October, 17!>y, in
Lawrence District, South Carolina,
and died in Lawreneeville. Ga., June
18th, 187‘2.
At tlio early age of nineteen, he
joined the Presbyterian Church. In
the year 1824, he moved from bis
natal district to this county, bring
ing with him credentials of bis
church membership, and deposited
them in the old Faiiview Church
(there being then no church of his
faith in Lawreneeville). In tlio year
1827, lie married Miss Sarah W.
Shackleford, of a most estimable
family in Jackson county. She sur
vives him, with a bereaved and al
most broken heart.
From tlio upright conduct, uibanc
manners and Christian deportment
of Judge Mills, ho, soon after coining
to liis adopted county, won to him
self many friends and retained them
through life. Soon after connecting
himself with fairview Church, he was
made one of its Elders, which posi
tion was hold by him to the day of
his de»lh.. Mr Mills was not only
identified with the church as one of
its officers, and a zealous and faithful
mein her, he, too, was a good citizen, |
early in life selected as a Justice of
the Peace, and soon afterward as one
of the Judges of the Inferior Court,
when the duties and powers of that
body were onerous and complicated,
and for a number of years was Post
Mastei of our town—all of which
posts he tilled with honor to himself
and satisfaction of his friends.
He was a great advocate for the
“Temperance Reform,” and also a
Brother of the “Mystic Tie,” whose
emblem of innocence and pmiiy was
never polluted by being worn by him.
While not an instructor from tlio
pulpit, iio became a teacher of Sunday
Schools, upon their introduction into
this country, and by reasons of bis
zeal and energy as such, was soon
made Superintendent at Fairview and
Lawreneeville, which position lie
filled until it was thought best to
blend the several schools of the differ
ent churches into a “Union Sabbath
School”. He still loved the cause,
followed the school, and died at its
head; No man, in his humble way,
lias done more for this? cause than
Mr. Mills. Within the last rear or
so, lie organized several new schools
throughout the countiv. In the hit
ter days of his life ho was constant
in urging the youth of the land to
read the Bibio- and attend Sabbath
Schools, From age and disease, he
was forced to quit this active and labo
rious vocation, and illustrating his
former self for energy, and wishing
to provide for his family as far as he
could, and to do good to his fellow
man, became a colporteur of the
American Tract Society. Being a
faithful steward, lie disseminated a
great, number of good books, tracts,
etc., from that body, the moral tone
of which will be fell wherever lie
went, for time to come. It was bread
cast upon the waters. Such, indeed,
was ids fidelity to God, in his imle
fatigahle industry to the cause of
Christ, that few who have moved in
the same limited sphere are qualified
to supply liis vacant space, and follow
his stops with equal speed.
lie had an unshaken confident e
in his Jesus. On Him he relied
with undeviating confidence amid all
the trials to which he was subjected
From tlio faith in the Redeemer
which works by love resulted a uni
form obedience to tbc commandments
of God. His deep communion with
his Maker manifested itself in ail bis
exterior deportment, whether in the
house of God or out of it. The
clieei ful solemnity of his countenance*
the gratitude and reverence with
which ho of late years spoke of the
Savior, indicated a heart replete with
a sense of Divine presence.
iiis inviolable integrity, love ol
! justice and mercy —two of the cardi
nal virtues which constitute the Chris
tian's character —shown conspicuous
ly in the conduct of our departed B’u
perintendent.
lie was a great lover of order in
his church —no man was ever mote
; attentive to the established doctrines
of the same—firmly believing her
doctrines, and adhering with a scru
pulous exactness to her faith and
governments, well knowing that
scriptural obedience to the powers
that be in the church is as essential
as obedience to tho civil authorities.
Though he loved his church, he was
no bigot—he loved all Christians.
Though his information was not so
comprehensive as many others’, x *‘t
his judgment was sound and of such
a grasp that he readily drew his di
vinity from tho Bible, and such was
the estimate he set upon that pure
so tree of truth, we learn from his
family he, especially of kite years,
read it w ith great feeling and joy.
Through his long chiistian course
and walk, he never brought the
slightest reproach on his church, but
to the contrary was one of its strong
pillars. That pillar is now broken.
While in the meridian of life, such
was his moral force a: d worth lie and
other compeers made his church one
of the most popular of the S.ate,
\Ve cannot see tlio heroes of his
or other churches, however aged,
i drop oil one after another into eter
ailv will,out being sensibly affected.
Wo love—we venerate tbc memo
•ry of a good man. In the various
I domestic and social relations of life,
' lie actev! with exemplary propriety,
: t>eing a devoted husband, a tender
parent, an affectionate relation, a
vm-ere friend and a kind neighbor.
He died in peace and is gathered
'to his fathers. While the church
: militant lost, it was the gain of the
J church triurnpltanf The tears of
i*is relations and a great number of
I ids friends who followed him to the
' tomb bore testimony to the anguish
1 of their feelings at bis loss.
Departed worth is entitled to an
honorable and sacred remembrance.
It is, therefore, Resolved, by the
| officers, teachers and pupils of the
j school, while we bow with humble
| submission to the afflicting dispensa
tion of Providence, wo sincerely
j lament tlio loss of our late worthy
and efficient Superintendent and

I he ciowds had been pouring into
the town from all quarters on every
animal that could carry a human be
ing and by every conveyance that
could run on wheels. Each passing
train made its contribution, until the
number assembled could have been
counted Gy thousands—the majority,
of course, negroes. The day, which
had broken with a cloudless sky,
bright and beautiful during the mor
ning, became somewhat cloudy but
still excessively hot.
Most of lite members of the fami
ly of both men paid their farewell
calls during the morning, but these
Ust callings were too sacred to be in
truded upon by me. Many were af
fected at the sight, the sheriff’ by no
means the least. The attendance,
though immense, was orderly and in
the main quiet. I must confess,
however, some surprise at the ques
tionable haste of a number of people
of the better class, among them ma
ny ladies who had evidently come
many miles to see two fellow crea
lures launched iuto eternity.
The excitement increased on the
arrival of the down passenger train.
It brought an immune crowd, inelu
di; g Dr. Collins, Baptist minister,
Iron) Perry, and Dis. Ravvl.e and
Cook*', of Mai;hallvil!e, summoned
as medical witnesses. J hese gen!lu
men were at once conducted to the
jail. 1 lie Rev. it. 0. Hornaday, us
Mercer University, was also present.
Tin* ministers had a brief interview
with th“ prisoners, exhorting them
to consider their condition and to
make their peace with their Maker.
After this, preparations were made
lor the march to the place ot execu
tion, which was in the following Ol
der : A body of guards, a buggy
containing liolsenhako,driven by Mr.
Hudson ; buggy containing Lloyd,
driven by the Sheriff', guards, physio
eiaiis and reporters.
The guai da were on each flank of
tiro buggies, a deputy sheriff being in
the immediate rear of each. At
twenty minutes past eleven the pro
cession moved at a slow pace, follow
ed by crowds, llolsenbake appeared
to suffer much mentally, but Lloyd
was indifferent.
The gallows was erected on a piece
of waste ground situated about a
quarter of a mile from the city, which
formerly belonged to the murdered
man, Fish. The hideous machine
was well put up by Mr. James Low ry,
of Oglethorpe. It reached sixteen
feet from the ground to the top of the
be,am ; the drop platform being plac
ed in the m'ddle eight feet from the
ground. Close by were the coffins
that were to receive tho bodies of the
men then living. That of llolseu
bake was a Fisk metalio case, fur
nished by Messrs. Gritfin «fe Hyatt,
of Montezuma. Lloyd’s cotlin was
of walnut, covered with black cloth
On the arrival at the place of execu
tions Ilobenbake was assisted up, as
the wound ho received in the thigh
prevented his walking or even stan
ding alone. Lloyd walked up with
much firmness. Both then sat down,
umbrellas being held over them. The
he.it was now intense.
The ropes were now produced and
were adjusted by Slieritl' I.ee, assisted
by Mr. Carnage, a former Sheritf of
the county, and Deputy Sheriff Greer
The fatal noose was test put over tho
head of Lloyd, who, seizing it in his
hands, and apparently trying the pos
sibility of its giving away from above
When it came to llolseubake’s turn,
he rise, and not being satisfied with
the length, asked for more rope, and
measuring the drop by his own
length by putting tho noose on his
toe, remarked, ‘‘lf it has got to
conic, let it come.” The adjusting
of the ropo occupied some time, and ;
exactly at JIAO Sherilf Lee annoue

to live, and during that tin.’ each of
them U'l’j! Ibe ..ilcwe ! ‘i: l ym:

llolsenbake rose with difficulty.
IJo was supported on each side.—
Lloyd was sitting down chewing
tobacco calmly, with his back against
one of tho posts. lie eyed flolsen
bake closely and listened to him with
profound attention. Having taken
water freely, Mr. llolsenbake said, in
substance, as follows :
Fellow-citizens, we are met here
on a most solemn occasion—met here
to take my life. I entreat your
prayers. I ask your fervent prnvers
ir. my behalf. The fervent prayer of
the righteous availeth much, and in
praying for mo you may coinert
your own souls. I appear before you
as a criminal about to suffer an igno
n.inous death, but I can sincerely say
that at heart lam no criminal. I
am about to be unjustly executed. I
have failed to obtain justice in the
courts of law. The laws have been
illegally or unjustly executed. I do
not speak as a lawyer, hut so it seems
tome. I am arraigned as the prin
cipal for tire crime of murdering a
man who has long since gone “to
that bourne from whence no traveler
e’et returns.” I trust God has been
merciful to him. /mn the man who
took• Ids life. [Murmurs of horror.]
I did it when under great irritation ;
I had lost my reason ; I was a mono
maniac ; Iliad nothing against Col.
Fish, but I had heard that he had
desecrated the dearest affections *of
my heart; that he had violated my
household ties and sullied the reputa
tion of my little daughter, who,
thank God, has been for months in
Heaven, and 1 trust I shall speedily
be with her. Ido not feel as though
I was the author of this crime. Eve
rything I have stated concerning my
accomplice has been honestly and
truthfully stated. I have been be
trayed by wolves in sheep’s clothing.
lie then gave, the particulars of his
confession to Col. 11. P. Farrow, late
Attorney General for the State, sta
ted how it was obtained, and said of
Mr. Farrow :
I tell you, fellow’-citizens, ho stands
to-day before God and this community
i a degiaded and disgraced mortal. I
have nothing against him, hut he has
not only forfeited his word, but sacri
ficed his honor; and more still, he is
a convicted perjurer, and the court
records will prove it. There is here
to-day standing before me an honara
blo and high-minded gentleman, one
who was engaged in my defense—
Col. W. IS. Wallace. I refer to him;
he knows what I say is true. I wish
to God (passionately) I knew how to
talk, but my language is inadequate
to tell of the murderous outrage that
has been perpetrated against mo. 1
was deranged ; the separation of my
I family from me was my ruin. [ Pause]
j The injuries 1 sustained in that con
! nection caused me to lose my reason.
J [Pause ] My life will pay the sot-
I ti-it—l am executed wrongfully—l
| have failed to obtain justice ; it has
I all been done through prejudice;
| they have suffered their prejudices to
i be aroused.
He thanked and complimented the
: prison officials that had hud charge
of him and closed by savii g in- lift
the world without bearing malice
against any man, and he imped no
one had a prejudice against him It
ihero was he did not know it.
The above speech was well deli
] vered. The first pait of it was at
times eloquent. The delivery was
clear and distinct, and it appeared as
if the entire audience caught every
word of it.
Lloyd was now assisted to lise.—
lie spoke rapidly and in a loud voice,
but what he said was not neatlv so
connected as his predecessor. ( Our
space precludes the possibility of giv
ing his remarks in full. The points
were as follows:
He was in his G2,l year; had ne
ver had a difficulty ; never been ar
rested ; never paid a fine or costs,
had lived an honorable and useful
life. Had never himself or in collu
sion with others, entertained one iota
of criminal feeling against any man.
lie declared that Jetios, Farrow
and the detectives had hatched the
matter up. “I swear,” said he, ‘'be
fore you and before my God, before
whom I shall soon appear, I am in
nocent. If I had dreamed of such
a thing I would not have allowed it."
He said his death was a conspiracy,
and \Y. If. Jones was at the bottom
of it; his blood would cry for ven
geance ; and concluded, “I put my
| blood on him (Jones) for three geno
rations and call God to witness it.
Jones got Stubbs out and exerted
himself to convict me. I want all
Mr. Fish’s family to know it. I urn
innocent.’’
Several parties mounted the seal'
fold to bid good-bye to the unfortu
nate men, most of them being much
affected.
At Ilolsenbake’s roquoat a hymn
was sung, after which a beautiful and
appropriate prayer was offered up bv
tho liev. l)r. Collins.
During these religious exercises
tho audience was much affected.—
llolsenbake was religiously excited,
clasping bis hands, crying and exclai
ming: “1 am going to Jesus;” “0,
Lord, take me;” “Jesus, save ray
soul,” etc. Lloyd looked pale but !
took no notice. Doth men were then
closely pinioned.
Lloyd said: If T have insinuated
anything in what l have said against
any one lam sorry for it; if GoJ can
forgive them I e.m,
Ilolsenb.-ke *>’ i somethin ; to the !
Lloyd continued—l have lived a
long lime and have knowingly done
no wrong to any one. It i have I
will restore it (our fold.
The white caps were now produced
and every one was awaiting the fata!
moment.
Lloyd said, as ti e cap was being
adjusted, “I am about to die. My
hands are clear of anv other man’s
blood.”
llolsenbake said, “Lord Je us, re
ceive my spirit.”
The caps were then ti»d, and at two
minutes and a half before I o’clock
lliree stiokes with a hatchet were
heard, then a heavy ‘‘thud,” a few
convulsive struggles, very slight, and
the spirits of two mortals had lied to
the God who gave them life, there
lo he arraigned before a tribunal ihat
cannot err—a Judge whose justice is
tempered with mercy.
The physicians declared Lloyd
dead in ]G minutes. Holsenbake’a
pulse did not cease to heat for 27j
minutes.
Their bodies were delivered to
their friends and the vast crowd dis
pursed. J. L. D.
