State Convention.
We publish this week the pro
ceedings of the State Convention.
It will be seen that the Democratic
party of Georgia bus put itself square
ly in line with the National party by
ratifying the nomination of Greo’ey
and Drown. It was apprehended
that the opposition to Greeley would
create trouble in the Convention.
Threats of bolting were freely in
dulged in previous to the assembling
of the Convention, but better coun
sels prevailed. We are informed
that a meeting of the disaffected w as
held that night, but could not learn
that anv definite line of action was
deletmined on. The Democratic par.
ty of Georgia lias taken its position
coolly, calmly and deliberately ; and
whatever latitude of opinion may
have been allowable heretofore, the
time has come when the ranks should
be closed up and let the country
know who are Greeley’s supporters
and who aio Grant’s. Whatever
mav ha'e been our individual opinion
of the propriety of the action at
Baltimore, the contest is narrowed
down to Grant and Greeley, nnd we
cannot appreciate any middle ground.
To labor for Greeley’s defeat is as
effectually working for Grant as if
you were voting directly for his elec
tion. Call it by what name you will,
still the naked fact stands out in bold
relief, if you defeat Greeley you elect
Grant.
GOVERNOR SMITH.
As was anticipated, Gov. Smith
was nominated for re election. This
is a flattering endorsement of his ad
ministration. Unknown to the great
mass of the people of the State, he
was placed in the Executive Cba'r at
a time when a cool head and a hi m
band were essential at the helm ; and
lie has weathered the storm and put
the State on the high road to pros
perity and peace, and the re-nomina
tion was but a tit tribute of an im
povomhed people to a faithful ad
ministration.
THE LIBERAL REPUBLICANS.
It will be seen that the proposition
of the Liberal Republicans to unite
with the Democracy was rejected
We thought then, and upon calm
reflection are satisfied, it was a mis
take. We have, ns a party, accepted
their platform and their candidates;
and to refuse to accept them as allies
in Georgia, when they are uniting al|
over the land to labor for a common
purpose, savors of political ostracism,
not based upon principle, but arising
from mere personal antipathy. If wo
can vote for Greeley, we certainly
could clasp hands with the Liberal
Republicans of Georgia ; “any body
to beat Grant,” has been the slogan
of this campaign, and we are willing
to accept the assistance of any body
t.o accomplish this result.
Proceeding's of the State L»e
mocratic Convention.
The Democratic Convention assem
bled in tho Ilall of the House ot
Representatives, on the 24th instant.
Almost every county in the State was
represented by strong delegations,
some counties sending a large num
ber of delegates.
The Convention was called to order
by Hon. Julian Hnrtridge, of Savan
nab ; and General P. M. 13. Yojng,
member of Congress from tie 7ih
District, was elected temporary Chair
man. As soon as the delegates had
been asceitained, a committee was
appointed, who reported for the per
manent organisation of the body the
following officers :
President—Hon. Tho*. Hardeman.
Vice-Presidents —First District, T.
A. Parsons; Second District, 11. Fiel
der ; Third District, J. M. Mobley;
Fourth District, J. D. Stewart j
Fifth District, J. G. Cain; Sixth
District, S. I*. Thurmond ; Seventh
District, Lewis Tutnlin.
Upon taking the Chair, Honorable
Thomas Hardeman addressed the
Convention in an able and eloquent
speech, a synopsis of which we copy
from tlie Constitution t
“Colonel Hardeman thanked the
Convention for the honor conferred.
The occasion which convened us was
fraught with great interest and mo
mentous questions. We were assem
bled as free men to cal: upon one to
wlkoin we were willing to entrust the
credit anil honor of the State for
four years, and to look beyond the
State at the great contest w hich takes
place in November, upon which the
liberty and the salvation of the conn
try depends. He was aware of the
dangers surrounding us. He would
not dwell upon the past, its conflicts
and defeats; upon our journey through
the wilderness ; assaults from enemii s
without any worse foes from within,
of our violated sanctuaries, depleted
treasury and disgraced State, tit the
hands of those who oppressed us.
In last November we drove the mon
ey changers from the temple, never
•again to minister at our altars. The
people were gladdened with our sur
roundings. Corruption no longer
stalks in high places. Crime is no
longer upheld by those in power.
An elastic conscience and pliant will
is no longer the passport to Executive
patronage. He congratulated the
people upon the happy transition
Although under military surveillance
and domestic misrule, we were never
crushed. Georgia resumes her on
ward march to prosperity and great
ness. In this inarch we have a duty
to perform today; rising above pie
feiences, prejudices and animosities,
we must he equal to the necessities
of the State. Wisdom, Justice and
Moderation should so mark our de
liberations that our constituents will
be honored by our coming here, and
the State benefited. Let ns forget
prejudices and personal preferences,
lock cur shields and battle for Geor
gia’s honor, Georgia’s interests and
Georgia’s independence, and when
military oppression shall be a thing
of the past and Georgia resumes her
sovereignty unawed by military pow
er, peace, with her blessing, and pros
perity, with all its fruits, shall crown
us, and the labors of this day shall
be acknowledged and appreciated.
Georgia will add her song to the
swelling chorus of Peace and Consti
tutional Liberty, and Equality for all
the States.”
Immediately after the organization
of the body, a committee of three
from each Congressional District was
appointed to report business for the
Convention, to whom all resolutions
must be referred without being read.
Hon. Georpo F. Pierce offered a
series of resolutions as a tribute of
respect to the memory of the lion.
Linton Stephens; and tendering to
the family of the deceased, and to his
distinguished hi other, the lion. A
11. Stephens, the sympathy of the
Convention in their affliction, which
were unanimously adopted.
lion. Julian Hartridge nominated
Gov. James M. Smith for re-election.
No other name was presented ; when
on motion of General Ira U. Foster,
he was nominated unanimously, by
acclamation, amid loud and prolonged
applause.
A communication was received
from J. E Brown, R. L. McWhorter,
R. L. Mott, John Harris and John
D. Pope, committee of Republicans,
proposing to unite and co operate
with the Democratic party in elect
ing Horace Greeley ; and asking that
they be allowed a representative on
the electoral ticket.
On motion of Judge James Jack
son, the communication was referred
to a committee of five, consisting of
Hon. James Jackson, R P. Tiipp,
James Gardner, A. R. Lamar and W.
F. Wright.
The Convention then took a recess.
Upon its re assembling, General
A. R. Wright, chairman of the com
mittoe on business, submitted the
following report, which was adopted :
‘‘The Democratic party of Georgia,
in cenvention assembled, re affirm the
principles heretofore enunciated by
them, to wit:
“That they stand upon the un
changeable doctrine that this is a
union of States, anil that the inde
structibility of the States, of their
rights, and of their equality with each
other, is an indispensable part of our
political system.
“They rccognizo the exigences of
the times which suggested and se
cured the nomination by the Demo
cratic Convention at Baltimore, of
Horace Gieelev and B. Gratz Brown,
as candidates for President and Vice
President of the United States, and :
regard their election as conducive to
the preservation of the rights of the j
Slates to local self-government, and
the protection of the individual lib
erty of the citizen.
“In the approaching e'ection the
Democratic party invites everybody
to co operate with them in a zealous
determination to change the present
usurping and corrupt Federal Ad- j
ministration by placing in power men
who are true to the principles of
Constitutional Government and to a
faithful and economical administration
of public affairs.
“That this Convention presents, by
a unanimous vote, as a candidate for
Governor of the State ot Georgia, at I
the approaching election, the tried
and true patriot and magistrate, the j
Hon. James M. Smith.
“Resolved, That this committee do
present the names of the following
gentlemen as Electors for the State
at large: Gen. W. T. Wofford, of
Bartow; Gen Henry L. Benning, of
Muscogee; lion. Washington Poe,.of
Bibb; Hon. Julian II irtridge, of
Chatham.
“Alternates —General A 11. Col
quitt, of DeKalb; General Eli War
ren, of Houston ; Judge A. 11. Han
seil, of Thomas; lion. George D.
Rice, of Hall.
“Resolved, Tlist the committee re
commend that the delegates from
each Congressional District be re
quested to report to the Convention
suitable persons for Electors and Al
ternates from their respective dis
tricts.
“Resolved That this committee re
commend that the President of this
Convention appoint an Executive
Committee of the Democratic party
of the State, to serve until the meet
ing of the next State C invention, and
to consist <>f two members for each
Congressional District as now exist
ing, and four for the State at large,
which Committee shall have power
to eleot a chairman outside of their
own body.
The different Congressional Dis
tricts reported their selection ot Elec
tors and Alternates as follows :
First District—ll. G. Turner, of
Brooks; alternate,J. Rivers, of Lau
rens.

Hall; alternate, L. J. Allred, of Pick
ens.
! Seventh District—E. D. Graham,
of Dade; alternate, R. A, Alston, ot
DeKalb.”
The Committee of Conference with
the Liberal Republicans submiited
the following report and communica
tion from the Committee of Liberal
Republicans :
“The committee appointed to con
fer with the members of the Liberal
Republican pariy of Georgia, whose
communication has been submitted
to til's Convention, charged with the
negotiation on their part, ask leave
to report that the two committees
have failed to agree upon a basis of
co operation which would he fair,
just and practicable, and which at ike
same time would meet the acceptance
of this Convention.
The Liberal Republicans are de
sirous of co-operating with the Dem
ocratic paity both in the national
and State elections to take place this
year, and thus practically he united
with the Democracy as an integral
part of its organization, but in doing
so ask and claim to be treated as
equals and associates engaged in a
common cause and impelled by the
same political motives.
“In this spirit and with this view
they ask a representation upon the
electoral ticket. This being conced
ed, they would have no motive to op
pose or to refuse to support the Dem
ocratic Slate tn kets for Uovei nor and
members of Congress.
“Your committee consider the
claim intrinsically just and reasonable,
but entertaining the conviction that
it woidd be unacceptable to this Con
vention, and that its rejection would
be disastrous to the best interests of
the Democratic party in this State
and in other States, decline to recom
mend it, and herewith submitting the
reply of the Liberal Republicans to
us, ask to be discharged from the
further consideration of the subject.
James Gardner, Chairman.
“The committee of Republicans
whoso communication is before the
Democratic Convention have con
ferred with the committee appointed
by the Convention who have express
ed themselves as individually favora
ble to a union of tho two elements
upon the just basis, of giving to the
Liberal Republicans a fair represent
ation upon the electoral ticket accor
ding to their numbers, and they re
gret to learn from the Democratic
committee that in their judgment it
is impossible to carry such a measure
through the Convention without a
serious rupture.
“The Democratic committee have
suggested that we harmonize with the
Democracy of the Stato without rep
resentation upon the ticket. We aio
unable to appreciate the liberality of
the invitation to unite with tko De
mocracy without such recognition.
We are determined, howevor, that we
will do no act which can in any way
imperil the success of Greeley and
Brown in this Stato, and while we
protest against the spirit of illiberal
ily which denies us representation
upon the ticket which is to be put
before the people by those who have
adopted our candidates for President
and Vice President, we will place no
electoral ticket in the field, but will
cast our votes for the Greeley and
Brown electoral ticket without regard
to the former political opinion of the
individual electors or the manner in
which they have been brouglit before
the people. But as to all matters
connected with State elections we
hold ourselves at liberty to cast our
suffrage in such manner as our self
respect and our sense of duty to the
country may dictate.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Decisions of the Supreme
Court of Georgia.
DELIVERED AT ATLANTA, TUESDAY, JULY
16, 1872.
Harrison Nichols vs. Margaret J.
Hampton. Claim from Worth.
McUay, J—A paper containing all
the requisites of a mortgage of per
sonal property is a mortgage from
the date of its execution, even though
it be not attested by an officer.
It is sufficient if it be proven by
the subscribing witnesses, and record
ed within three months from its exe
cution.
A paper providing for a lien on a
“hay mare,” and showing that the
mare was purchased by the mortga
gor from the mortgagee, is a suffi
cient description of the property
mortgaged.
It is not necessary that a Notary
Public shail affix his seal to the pro
bate of a deed by a subscribing witness
A mortgage recorded within three
months from the dale of its execution
is a lien from its date even against
bona fide purchasers without notice.
An affidavit, probating a mortgage,
taken before the attorney of the tuort
gagee, who is a Notary public, is not
a legal affidavit; and a mortgage re
corded on such prubate is trot legally
recorded.
Judgment reversed.
C. P. Hartwell, guardian, and
Henry A. Tarver, executor, etc., vs.
Elisabeth Tompkins et al. Tax affi
davit, from Dougherty.
McCay, J.— Where in an arbitra
tion between the guardian of a minor
legatee and the executor of an estate,
it was decreed that all the notes of
the estate should be turned over to
the minor as her property.
Held, that in a pending suit on one
of the said notes proof of this award
excused the filing of the affidavit re
quired by the Act of October, 13.
1870, and this is not met by proof
that there afe outstanding debts
agilin-st tile estate.
Judgment reversed.
Benj. B. Oiiizs vs. \Y m. Seabrook,
administrator. Attachment, from
Dougherty.
Montgomery, J.— 1. It is not nec
ess.ary that a traverse to the truth of
affidavit, which is the foundation of
an attachment should he sworn to.
2. Where a plaintiff makes an
affidavit for the purpose of obtaining
an attache out against an administra
tor, on the ground that hois remov
ing or about to remove the goods of
his intestate without the county, and
the administrator files a traverse to
tlie affidavit, the plaintiff is a compe
tent witness upon the trial of the
issue thus formed, even though the
contract, which is the foundation of
the plaintiff's claim, was made with
the intestate.
3. The effect of a verdict for the
defendant upon such tin issue, is a
dismisiil of the attachment under
Revised Code, section 3236.
M. L- Sheeley vs. Martha Funder
burk. Lien for labor, from Macon.
Montgomery, J. —Where a labor
er who claims a lien on the prop
erty of his employer, tinder the act
of 1860, undertakes to foreclose it
according to the provisions of section
1960 of the Code, he must aver in
his affidavit demand for payment of
the sum due on his employer, and
refusal by the latter to pay. It is
not sufficient to aver in general terms
that defendant refuses to pay.
Judgment reversed.
James Harrison et al vs. James
Young and Benjamin Willis. Eject
ment, from Worth.
Montgomery, J.—The statute of
limitations as to realty having been
suspended in Georgia from December
14th, 1861, to tlie first day of Janu
ary, 1863, as heretofore decided by
this court, adverse possession, under
claim of title, from January, 1826,
until October 16, 1869, is not a suf
ficient length of time to perfect a
statutory title.
Judgment rever.-ed.
A Fclmination from Brownlow.
—The loyal Brownlow, of East Ten
nessee, is out in a terrific pronuncia
niento against Greeley. lie charges,
if Greeley should be elecled, lie will
favor the payment of pensions to
rebel soldiers and their widows and
oi phans—nay, more—he will favor
the payment of the rebel war debt,
and finally, the payment to the rebels
of the value of their emancipated
slaves. This will bankrupt the Gov
ernment of the United States—over
whelm the people with taxes and
leavo the truly loyal and patriotic
thieves of the nation an empty treas
ury to steal from. 800 hoo-boo !
A gentleman in St. Louis city sent
word to Voorbees that “all his old
friends were getting into the Greeley
boat; that he was too good a fellow
to leave behind, and had better come
along too before they shoved off.”
Voorhces received the message, and
sent this hack. lie was pretty much
in the condition, he wrote, of the boy
at camp meeting, where neatly all
the people had gone on the
anxious benches, and he was left
blooming alone. At last the minis
ter saw him and came up
“My young brother,” said the
preacher, “why do you sit here alone ?
Why not come to glory ?”
“All them gals goin’ to glory ?”
asked the boy.
“Straight as a shingle,” said ' tbe
preacher.
“No switchin’ off’ nor nuthin’ ?”
“Through by daylight,” answered
the minister.
“Well, parson,” said the boy, “if
all them gals is a-goin’ to glory, I
don’t see as it’s much use o’ me a—
whittlin’ here by myself; guess I
I might jest as well go ’long too.”

The Washington Capital says fa
cetiously :
“Senator Henry Wilson, since his
nomination at Philadelphia, goes
mooning about in the haziest, happi
est condition. It is said that he is
taking lessons in the art of presiding,
and carries with him Cushing’s “Jef
ferson’s Manual” and a little gavel,
and at intervals he reads and raps in
the most lively manner. He created
quite a disturbance at the quiet coun
try house of a friend not long since.
Alter retiring for the night, he open
ed his manual and began as usual to
read and rap. The alarmed family
heard this mysterious knocking, and
thinking spirits were about, actually
had family prayer. As Henry inno
cently let out the facts next day the
indignant family went over to Gree
ley and Brown ”
Politics in Alabama — Montgome
ry, July 22. —Ex-Senator Warner
and S. F. Rice, late Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of Alabama, have
declared for Greeley and Brown.
An immense Greeley ratification
meeting was held here Saturday
night, al which resolutions were
passed endorsing the Liberal Repub
lican nominations. The action of
the Baltimore Convention was unan
imously endorsed. A large number
of colored men participated in the
meeting. Two Republican papers
have lately come out for Greeley.
This leaves but five straight Republi
can newspapers in Alabama, of which
two remain uncommitted.
More than they Asked for. —
President Grant has publicly chal
lenged Senator Schtirz to make good
his declaration that ho was approach
ed with offers of patronage if he
would support the San Domingo
scheme, or at least decline to oppose
it. A Herald dispatch from Wash
ington says that ex-Senalor Fowler,
of Tennessee, and Senator Tipton
were approached in the same manner
as Schtirz in reference to supporting
the Stn Domingo scheme.

A Terrible Hail Storm —An Towa
dispatch says that a belt of Sioux
county about eight miles wide was
visited, on the 23d instant, by a ter
rible hail storm, which literally de
stroyed the crops and stripped the
foliage from the trees. Two farmers,
named L°e and Struble, at the rapids,
lost 130 acres of grain. The hail in
places was found heaped to a depth
of 20 inches.
