Rube Peytan who was senteiic

i* truly glad. He had been seat
lo to Savaunah jail for safe keep
ing, and fer some reasan was not
oalled for by tbe Sheriff of Glynn
county in time to reach Bruns
wick until the hour appointed for
the execution had expired. Upon
enquiry at the ExEcutive office
no reason could be given for the
failure to obey the sentence. The
Governor will probably want te
knew the whys and wherefores.
Probably the sheriff forgot it wr
as the time approached his heart
tailed him, and he threw up hiß
Commission.
Peyton says he just poked his
knife at the other negro in fun
and he died in about twenty min
utes.
As the Sheriff let the time slip
it will be necessary for the Court
to re-sentence him. This gives
Peyton a little while to have some
more fun.
The New York Convention Met

There was a vigorous fight be

secure the delegation to Chicago.

THE DEMOCRACY I* COl’fif
lEL,
Delegates to the Convention
The first Convention of iheDem
oeratie party, for the campaign of
IHB4. assembled in the capitol last
Wednesday. Although the only
bus'ness to be disposed of was ihe
election of delegates to represent
Georgia in the National Democrat
ic Convention that assembles in
Chicago on *he Bth of July, the
State was well represented. Near
ly every county had its delegates
in attendance ar 4 it was a fine
body of men.
We have never seen such una
nimity es feeling pervading so
large a body. While delegates
had th6iß special favorites for the
Presidency, there was none of that
partizauship and unyielding tenac
ity, as sometimes presents itself in
such bodies. Tne general txpres
•ion was, any good men who can
be elected. The decided prefer
ence being for Cleavlau 1 and Me
Denald.
The Convention wae called to
order by Col. Estill, chairman of
the State Executive Committee,
Col. Livingston, of Newtoo. was
made temporary Chairman- Up
on the permanent organization-
Gen. W E Smith of Albany, was
made President. Gen. Smith is a
one legged soldier, and was a mem
her of Congress from Georgia at
the time of the e/ectoral commis
sion.by which Tilden was defraud
ed out of the Presidency. And he
was the only Congressman from
(Georgia who voted against that
commission.
The president male a very
handsome speech on taking |the
gavel, and after the selection as
Secretary's, of Mark A Hardin, H
11 Cabaniss and John C Campbell,
the Convention was declared or
ganized for business.
A motion was made to appoint
a committee on platforms, but tbe
convention was in zo humor to
fool away >ts time with the piofit
less issues on the tariff question,
that were likely to be sprung up
on the Cenventioc, and it was te
garded as tins* enough at the Au
gust convention for the party to
adopt its platform after tneNation
al Convention has laid down tbe
principles upon whiob the Cam
paign is to be fougnt. The mo
ion therefore was laid on the ta
ble without ceremony.
The question then came up of
the method of selecting delegates
from the state at large. After
several resolutions, substitutes,
Amendments, etc., liad been offer
ed, the convention proceeded to
the selection of four delegates and
four alternates by ballot.
The call of Counties was
then proceeded with.
Geu. A R. Lawton, Maj A. O
Bacon, Capt. E. P. Howell,, Gen.
P. M . B. Young, Pat Walsh and
R E Lester were put in nomirnt
tion. Colonel Lester withdrew
bis name in favor of General Law
ton.
Whtn !sq sul iing county was
reached. Geu. Young withdiew
his name. The vote at that time
stood: *
//owell 239
Bacon 230
Lawton 207
Walsh 171
Young 143
Gen. Young aseved that the
other four gentlemen be elected
by acclamation which was adopt
ed and they were declared the del
agates for the State at large
6’en. P. M.. B. Young; J. H. Es
tell, C. C. KibbeeandW. A. Lit

This finished the work of the
Convention and it adjourned.
Probably never in the history
of the party has such a Conven
tion been held before. It assem
bled at 12 o'elock an 1 in two
hours bad accomplished its werk
and adjourned, and the members
were hurrying te catch the evening
trains. There wae not a eiagle
note es discord, the party is prac
tically harmonious. The Cam
paign opens with bright pros
pect i, there is an abiding confi
dence that if no mistake is made
at Chicago, we will elect our tick
et.
The Rose i a«e
With all ti e detective work '•
which hae been expended te get At
the murder of;Mrs Rose, wlie was
so brutally mardered in Atlanta re '•
cently, it seems that tfle police
have been entirely foiled and that i
all es their theories when follewed ,
up have thrown little light upon I
the red handed murderer.
There have been two theories
worked by different detectives, j
One was that she was murdered
by her husband and the other that
the criminal was a burglar. Both
parties have had confidence
in their final success in develop
ing the mystery. So strong was
the suspioioa against Rose that a
warrant charging him with the
murder was sworn out by the Cor
ener and he is now in jail. Tbe
jury adjourned over until Jast
Friday to give the detectives tiaie
to work ap the case. The hear
ing came on and left the matter
as much in doubt as ever. Some
very suspiciea circumstances were
proven against Rose, but not suffi
cient to.bind him over for trial,
The jury at last concluded to ad
journ over again and give the po
lice and detectives an opportuni
ty to sift the matter further, ia
the meantime Rose ia kept in jail
Public opinion is divided as to
the guilt of ike accused, and this
extend; even to the police force.
Is it possible that this is to be an
other owe of these terrible myste
ries, like the Defoor murder, up
on which detective skill is exhaust
ed is uaia, while ihe blood stained
criaaia il walks the streets of the
city, keeping kis horrible secret
locked up in his bosom,
Senator Ingalls made a terrible
onslaught on Gov. Brown during
the session of the Senate las' week
Brown had exercised the right of
revising his speech before it was
published in the Retord. Ingalls
charged Brown with interpolating
into his speech personal reflections
on him which he had not uttered,
that this was a forgery on the
record of the Senate. His abuse
better suited the slums than the
Senate Chamber. Gov Brown re
plied i* a very calm aud dignified
way. He insisted that he had
used the language in his speech
and proved it by Gen Hampton.
In closing his remarks Senator
Brown said :
For himself he trusted that it
was not improper to say that dur
ing his somewhat eventful life in
tuafiy conflicts that he had with
brave men where there was real
dauger, an insinuation of want of
courage had never been mad*
against him; therefore the allusion
of the Senator from Kansas about
Parthian arrows frem the safe am
bush of the printing house did
not apply to him (Mr. Brown).
That Senator seemed to think that
he (Mr. Brown) inserted some
'hing in his speech that he was as
raid to utter in his presence. He
vtn ured to say (hat there was
nothing in his person, characteror
antecedents cf the Senator, from
Kansas to make him an object of
apprehensions or to excite the
fears of any man. There was nc
place so safe as this chamber for a
man of discreet courage to buster
and parade his vitupera ive rhet
oric. No other Senator would
have used such languige as the
Senator ofKansas had ustd unde)
the protection of the Senate, and
he (Mr Ingalls) would not use it
exeept under the protection of the
Senate,
Jim Blaine did nj\ shed any
blood in the late war. He was
drafted and put iu a substitute
who “lit’’ nobly. The State of
Rhode Island afterwards paid him
back the money he invested iu the
substitute.
The Republicans have drafted
him agHiu. but the Democrats pio
po»e to furnish u substitute free
of cott.
Judge William Reese of Wash- '
iogton Ga., publishes a letter in
which he offers some suggestion*
in reference to our State affair*.
In discussing tbe length of ses
sions of the Legislature, he thinks
that the Constitution should bo;
amended limiting tbe sessions to '
eighty days.
One of the most just complaints
against the Logislatuio ia absent
eism- Members will vote to pro
long the session indefinitely and
then post off home to look after
their personal affairs, drawing
their per diem regularly while ab
sent. Tbe best remedy m our
judgement is to pay tbe members
a stated aalarv of two hundred
and fifty dollars for their term
and milage one time only. Then
instead of membero desiring to
prolong the time each man would
be anxious to expedite the work.
But it wouid make no difference
to tbe State.whether they remain
ed there one month or three.
Within sixty days tbe Legislature
can dispose of all tbe business, if
tbe members would stayjat their
poets and go to work. Wo know
instances where men were absent
two to three weeks and by cour-
Xcsy their bills were held back ;
j until their return, thus crowd
ing much of the most impor
tant business into the last days
of tbe session, From this haste
much of the crude legislation
springs that ia repealed by the
i next legislature.
Our observation is that absont
| eeism ia tho curse of the Georgia
( Legislature and it will continue
until there is some remedy pro
| vided.
A few hard working member*
i remain at ihairpost and watch ev
ery measure of general interest,
while fully one third pay no stten
tion to anything except some local
bills in which they are interested.
They forget that they are legislat
ing for tbe great State of Georgia,
and act as though they had ne in
terest except in snob measures as
offected their counties specially.
The remedy in oar judge
ment is to select good men, pay
(hem a fair salary, and leave it to
their dtscresioa as to the length
of time necessary to dispose of
the public business.
Justice Fields
The action of the California con
vention in instructing its delegates
agaiLst Judge Field, has naturally
created muchjjas onishment. The
Judge has this to say abe.it it :
“There is a radical elemeut in
California politics that alarms con
servative men iu that State, wi h
out regard to party organization
as dangerous to the rights of prop
erty. I have never swerved from
my duty to pander to that element
which is, therefore, hostile to me,
but politicians have done *o, and
this is the secret of the resolutions
which have been aimed at me.
This element doe* not constitute
a majority of the Democratic par
ty in California, bat is larga and
fought to intimidate its oiganiza
tion. This element relented ju
dicial decision* of mine, not o e
of which would 1 retract to re
ceive the nomination. Therefore
the action of the California Con
vention is no surpr'se or disap
pointment to me. Most assured
ly I have not desired any support
wbieli wai not the resu't of an
open and frank appeal t# public
opinion, and, as you know, I said
moaths ago that I did not expect
to receive this support, and it was
so s'ated in the public prints. 1
have net sought the nomina
tion. and if I allowed my name ne
ed it was in deference to the opin

of the country, who hate acted
without regard to California's sen
timents, and the matter 11 with
them and not with me. Ido no.
