The National Democratic Con
vention, which met at Baltimore
last week, nominated Horace Gree
ley of New York, for President and
Gratz Brown, of Missouri, for Vice
President, thus endorsing the Cin
cinnati nomination, and adopting its
platform of principles. We there
fore hoist tiieir names as our stand
ard bearers, and shall be earnest in
our endeavors to bring about their
election. That Georgia will go for
Greeley there is no doubt. It is
true there are some “straight out”
democrats, who will not ignore the
fiast, and therefore cannot sustain
dm ; hut neither will they vote for
Grant. At the hist Election many
Republicans supported Grant, who
wifi now vote the Liberal ticket.—
The negroes then almost to a man
supported Grant, now their politi
cal fervor has about “played out,”
their party organization is scattered
to the four winds; many will not
vote at all, and of those who go to
the polls a goodly number can be in
duced to vote for Mr. Greeley. Al
together the prospects of the Cincin
nati and Democratic nominee, are
encouraging. Each day his sky is
brightening. All over the North
and West the signs of the times in
dicate that the people are becoming
tired of the corrupt proceed u res of
the present administrators. Though
the Philadelphia nomination was
made with such a fervor of enthusi
asm, and was gotten up with such
grand effect, yet already are some of
its backers becoming “weak in the
knees/’ and the cry is being made
that the name of Grant should be
withdrawn and a more popular can
didate substituted in his stead. It
is true the party in power is un
scrupulous, and has immense gov
ernment patronage at command, and
in this our day and generation,
thousands love to feed from the Pub
lic Crib, yet the misrule has been so
glaring, the laws have been so clear
ly violated, the constitution so per
verted, that the masses everywhere
are becoming restless and dissatisfied
and are anxious to bring about a bet
ter state of affairs. The war enthu
siasm, has di»“d out, and blue coats
and Epaulets are not “all the go.”
The people North feel that an oecu
pati m for four years of the white
house, has paid their debt of grati
tude to General Grant, for bis ser
vices during the war, and his milita
ry life will not, in this campaign, be
considered. lie must now run upon
his record for tlie past four years.—
The hero of Corinth and Vicksburg
iuul Appomutox Court House, is lost
sight ol and the Republican Presi
dent, acting military dictator, is now
before the people. His repeated
suspensions of the Habeas Corpus,
liis numerous arrests and bloody as
sizes in Carolina, liis countenancing
tlwiving carpetbag officials in all
the Southern States, the bungling
adjustment oftlie Alabama claims, his
hosts of relatives living upon gov
ernment pap, liis rapid accumulation
of property, his great aptitude ter re
ceiving presents, and the speedy
gratitude he evinces in appointing
these gift givers to fill the highest
offices of the country, his neglect of
business and his life of ease ami lux
ury away from the Capitol at Long
Branch, all this is now before the
country and will undergo a scrute
nizing investigation.
Mr. Greeley comes before the
country doubly endorsed, the nomi
nee of two great parties. First, of
the Liberal Republicans, once the
staunch friends of Grant, but now
disgusted with his unblushing nepo
tism, haye become convinced of his
unfitness. That he lias deceived and
disappointed them, they sorrowfully
acknowledge, and in as much as they
assisted in placing him in office,
they feel it doubly their duty to
unite with those who would depose
him. They are therefore up and
doing, and will be head workers du
ring the entire campaign. Second,
the Democratic party, the conserva
tors of peace, the upholders of the
constitution, feeling that Grant
should be defeated at all hazzurds,
have departed from their regular
party usages, and for the time being,
have gone over to the Liberals and
united with them in supporting
their standard bearer. These corob
orations looks auspicious, and we
trust that they will succeed in rout
ing h'orse, foot and dragoons, every
high official of the old Budical party.
To day a county meeting will be
held, to select delegates to repre
sent our county in the Convention
to convene at Atlanta, July 24th,
for the purpose of nominating a
candidate fi>r Govornor of our State,
and also Presidential Electors. Nor
is this all to claim the attention of
the Atlanta Convention; another
Executive Committee for the Ftite
will be selected; a platform of prin
ciples and policy for the guidance of
the Georgia Democracy wiil here be
agreed upon, and in short, finance
and every other subject, in which
the people are vitally interested, will
be thoroughly discussed. We re.
gard the Convention of the 24th,
one of the most important ever held
in our State. Georgia is still en
gulfed in debt, consequent upon the
extravagance and plunderings of
Bullock and bis crew, and our fear
is, that an effort will be made by j>re
tended Democrats, members of the
bondrin? and those interested in the
State ltoad Lease, to nominate
for Governor a man, who will pan
der to their interest, regardless of
the interest of the State, and thus
return the State to the same con
dition it was during the adroinistra
tion ol"Bullock.
Now Gov. Smith is an honest
man, working energetically to re
lieve the State from its heavy bur
den of debt, and will succed, if suf
ficient time is given—if he is re-el
ected Governor. Smith is the man
to nominate at Atlanta. The peo
ple wish him an their Governor—
the cry from every section, is for
Smith—a man never so rapidly and
thoroughly gained the confidence and
affection of a people.
Let the meeting to-day—and vve
hope it will be largely attended, and
every section of the county repre
sented—let the meeting select good,
intelligent and experienced men u.s
delegates, and then, by appropriate
Rosolotions, instruct these delegates
to vote as a unit for the nomination
of James M. Smith for Governor.
The Platform. —We publish to
day the platform adopted by the
Liberal Republicans in May last,
and by the Democrats at their recent
meeting in Baltimore. While we
shyll support, and do all in our pow
(T, for Mr, Greeley in the coming
election, we cannot neither accept,
adopt or indorse the ninth Resolu
tion of this platform. There must
certainly have been some under
standing on this subject, in the Con
vention.
Tritl of StoYes—Jim Fisk, Etc.
The trial in New York of Stokes, the mur
derer of Jim Fisk, is still drapffitig its slow
length along. Already has seventeen days
been consumed, and yet so great is the inter
est manifested, that the looker on finds much
difficulty in effecting an entrance into the
great Courtroom, Fislc, though a man of no
moral character, yet lie was one of the pecu
liar institutions of New York; he was very pop
ular among his set, and left many warm and
devoted admirers. Owning his millions ol
dollars, having moreover at his command tlia
proceeds of the great Erie Rail Road (a prop
ty valued at sixty millions.) jt is no figerative
expression to say he lived like a prince. He
was peculiarly suited to New York. Its fast
peop'e ijolized him. lie furnished pleasure
and diversions for its hundred thousands of
pleasure seekers, and his death has made a
great void which perhaps no one man can
ever again fill. Though it ha» been over six
months since he was murdered, it is believed
that were it called for, an hundj-oil thou
sand dollars would be subscibed ill less than
n day in assuring to bring to punishment ills
murderer. The 9th Regiment of which h ;
was Colonel, is determined up m revengi ig
hs death, and it is currently reported, that
if Stokes is acquitted, that Its membi rs wit]
take iiis life. Hetweeu tlic celebrated 7th &■ 9th
Regiments there ha* been tile greatest rivalry,
and l'isk willingly spent his liioniwitls in sus
taining tlic 9th. Its Hand alone was compos
ed of one hundred musicians, splendid perform
ers all gorgeously uniformed. To Levy, liis
cornet player, Fisk paid a salary of ten thous
and dollars a year. The Fisk Opera House
was built at an expense of a million and a
half of dollars. He ran a line of Steamers, the
IJristol, Providence and Plymouth Rock, by
far the fiuest beats in thj conn ry, each of
which cost perhapsja million of dollars. The
finish, the furniture, the entire surroundings
o* those steamers were magniticieut. The
people, the country took a pride in them, and
therefore felt a kind of gratitude towards their
projector. Where-ever Fisk went ho had his
crowd of followers aud ‘'hangers on, - ’ and his
money flowed in one continued unbroken
stream, His carriagts, and horses and out
riders always attracted the greatest attention,
and a stranger in visiting New York always
looked for them a9 one of the wonders the sight
of the place. Hia money came easily, aud
went freely. He robbed tho rich, and spent it
among the many. His life was devoted to
pleasure and all kinds of sensual gratification,
and hundreds were ruined in atteniptig to imi
tate his example. His murderer was once his
friend, and received many favors at hia hand.
But unforlmu.t -ly rivalled him in stealing
away the affections of one of hia mistresses,
and hence their estrangement and his death.
Fulton county sends Smith dele
gates to the Convention.
About James.—A correspondent
of the Macon Idegraph says: Mr.
James, I understand, has rested con
tent with amassing mopey
#hile he has greatly yneglecied the
eulivatiou of his mind. He is said
to Be so very deficieHt, eytii'in tho]
rudiments of an English ediieation,’
that he cannot spell “pig” correctly
in three straight trials. How
would State papers read written by
him! A wntter in the Constitution
of the 7th instant says of Govorher
Smith: “It is true he is an able
tawyer, but that does not save the
State the expense of employing an
Attorney General, one of the first law
yers in the State.” That writ ter advo
cates the claims of Mr. James. To
him I say, if Mr. James should be
so fortunate— -for him-nnfortnnate
for the State—as to be elected Gov
oruer, the State will not only have
to pay for “an Attorney General,
one of the first lawyers m the State,”
but for a schoolmaster besides!
The Liberal Platform.
The following are the resolutions
in full adopted by the Liberal Re
publican National Convention at
Cincinnati in May, and endorsed by
the Democratic Convention in July :
We, the Liberal Republicans of
the United States, in National Con
vention assembled at Cincinnati,
proclaim tho following principles as
essential to a just government.
First—We recognize the equality
of all men before the law, and hold
that it is the duty of the govern
ment, in its dealings with the peo
ple, to mete out equal and exact jus
tice to all; of whatever nativity,
race color, persuasion, religions or
political.
Second—We pledge ourselves to
maintain the union of these States,
emancipation and enfranchisement,
and to oppose any reopening of the
questions settled by the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth aud Fifteenth Amend
ments of the Constitution.
Third—We demand the immedi
ate and absolute removal of all disa
bilities imposed on account of the
rebellion, which was finally subdued
seven years ago, believed that uni
versal amnesty will result in the
complete pacification of all sections
of tlie country.
Fourth—Local self-government,
with impartial suffrage, will guard
the rights of all citizens more se
curely than any centralized power.
The public welfare requires the su
premacy of the civil over tlie mili
tary authority, ami the freedom of
person under the protection of the
habeas corpus. We demand for the
individual the largest liberty consis
tent with public order, for the
States self-government, and for the
nation a return to the methods of
peace and the constitutional limita
tions of power.
Fifth—The civil service of the
government has become a mere in
strument of partisan tyranny and
personal ambition, and an object of
selfish greed. It is a scandal and
reproach upon our free institutions,
and breeds a demoralization danger
ous to the perpetuity of republican
government. We, therefore, regard
a thorough reform of the civil ser
vice as one of the most pressing ne
cessities of the hour ; that honesty,
capacity and fidelity constitute the
only valid claims to public employ
ment ; that the offices of the gov
ernment cease to be a matter of ar
bitrary favoritism and patronise,
and that public stations become again
posts of honor. To ti is end it is
imperatively required that no Presi
dent shall be a candidate for re-elec
tion.
Sixth—We demand a system of
Federal taxation which shall not
necessarily interfere with the iudus
try of the people, and which shal!
provide means necessary to pay the
expences of the government, eco
nomically administered, pensions,
the interest on the public debt, and
a moderite reduction, annually, of
the principle thereof, and recogniz
ing that there are in our midst hon
est hut irreconcilable differences of
opinion with regard to the respect
ive systems of pioiection and free
trade, we remit d'seussion of the
subject to the people in their Con
gressional districts, and lo the deci
sion of Congress thereon, wholly
free ol Executive influence or dic
tation.
Seventh—The public credit,must
be sacredly maintained, and we de
nounce repudiation in every form
and guise.
Eighth—A speedy return to spe
cie payments is demanded alike by
the highest considerations of com
mercial morality and honest gov
ernment.
Ninth'—We remember with grat
itude the heroism and sacrifice of
ihe soldiers and sailors of the re
public, and no act of ours shall ever
detract from their justly earned
fame or the full reward of their
patriotism.
Tenth—We are opuosed to all
further grants of lands to railroads
or other corporations. The public
domain should be held sacred to
actual settlers.
Eleventh—We hold that it is the
duty of the government, in its inter
course with foreign nations, to cul
tivate the friendship of peace by
treating with all on fair and equal
terms, regarding it alike dishonora- •
ble either to demand what is no
right or to submit to what is wrong.
Twelfth—For the promotion and
success of these vital principles, and
the suppor qf the candidates nom
inated by this convention, we invi e
and cordially welcome the copoper
ation of all patriotic citizens, with
out regard to previous political affi
liation.
R»y. Dr. Livingstone, the Af
kican Explorer and Missionary.
—The fate of Dr. Livingstone is the
saddest on record. He died a hun
dred deaths in one in the anxious
fears of two continents for a year
and a half. Now he has been found
—unquestionably found—and what
is worse, we (ear, found out. For
he does not want to come back.—
Nil even.Mr. Sianley, of the New
York H-raid, can excite any desire
in the explorer’s mind to return lo
civilization; and he talks incohe
rently of the sources of strange riv
ers ami underground connections
between unheard of lakes. What
is the matter? Is Dr. Livingstone
insane ? Or does he lack the cour
age to face the inquisition of the
civi'izetl world, and the nerve to
bear the fuss that will be made over
him should he return ? At any rate
his course is slrange, and we fear his
friends will regret the ill-timed en
terprise of our conn mporary in
finding him,
A Financier for Governor.—
Ihe Houston Home Journal is not
pleased with the prospect of having
a “financier’’ for Governor. That
paper says : Among the men who
have been Governors oj" Georgia we
find several who were distinguished
for salesmanship and executive
ability, but not one will appear in
history as a financier. Our readers
may rememberon * Cha*. J. Jenkins,
one Herschel Y r . Johnson, one
Howell Cold), and further back, one
George M. Troup—all distinguished
men, hut not financiers, fn fact,
we know of but one financier lhai
lias ever filled ihe office ; that wa-
Ruius B. Bullock. Let us have no
more financier Governors, say we.
Goon News for Office-hold
ers.—lt is amiouced by authority
that while the hat will be handed
around, peremptory assessments will
be made on office-holders by Grant
in the present campaign. We find
the case thus stated in one of liis
organs:
“It ought to be put on record that,
for the first time since the adminis
tration of Andrew Jackson, the Fed
eral officers will not be requested
to pay a pro rata assessment on
their salaries to the national fund
for carrying on the political cam
paign. They, with a ll other Re
publicans, wiil be requested to con
tribute such amounts as they may
be disposed to give; but there will
be no assessments or forced contri
butions.”
The Army Worm and Caterpil
lar. —We have heard hints that the
army worm had made its appear
ance in the rich prairie lands of
Eastern Alabama, The Selma Times
also reports that these destructives
have shown themselves in Wilcox
county. We hope the country is
not to be troubled with such curses.
The Eufaula 7 'imes states on good
authority that the catcrpilla-s are
now pretty general on both sides of
the river from Neal’s Landing to
Columbus, Henry county, and
S laces where rain 'has fallen every
ay for a week or ten days. They are
increasing very rapidly in the fields
below Gordon.— Columbus Sun.
Crops.—From our old friend, Mr.
Wright Merritt, we learn that there
lias not been rain enough on his and
other farms in Calhoun county to
put out the plowman’s tracks since
April, but still ho expects to make
bread. He has traveled over a good
portion of Terrell, Calhoun, Miller
and Decatur counties, and says
where the land was thoroughly pre
pared and cold iron and steed prop
erly used thereafter, the crops are
good; and where these requisites
have been overlooked, the crops are
only so-so. Pretty good rule to
work by. It is good for dry and
wet seasons.— Dawson Journal.
How to Abate a Nuisance.—
A little vigor and spirit will tree a
neighborhood from a nuisance that
might affect it fir years but for the
energy of someone restless being.
A neighborhood in Franklin county
ha3 been rendered unendurable by
a bull-dog, whose temper was
spoiled by early indulgence, and
whose lack of moral training made
him the terror of women and chil
dren. The other day a resolute
widow took a horse-pistol and a
rope, and undertook to escort her
children to school past the lair of
this savage brute. There was a
brief contest, but the dog was laid
low, and that community blesses the
public spirit of the little widow.—

BY TELEGRAPH.
BATMOEE CONVENTION,
[Special Telegram to the Morning Hews.]
Baltimore, July 10, 1572.
Thanking the Union Soldiers.
After a very excited session this
morning the Convention brought
its deliberations to a close the
adoption of the Cincinnati platform
pure and simple, including the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments, and thanks to the soldiers
and sailors of the Union for their
public services and nomination of
Greeley and Brown by an almost
unanimous vote.
A Bitter Pill.
The pJhtform was a bitter pill - to
many Southern delegate. Ten of
the Georgia delegates voted against
it and three for it.
The G ig Rule.
The gag rule was applied, and no
one allowed to speak against it.
The vote was forced on the Cincin
nati platform as a whole, and those
who called for a division of the
resolutions were choked down. The
Southern Democrats who came
here to swallow the Greeley pill
were not even allowed to take it in
broken doses. They found them
selves in the hands of the Philiines,
and are very naturally disgusted.
Bullotingfor President.
The balloting for President caused
much excitement, the vote of each
delegation for Greeley being greet
ed with cheers. Greeley recieved
(>SG votes. Scattering 46.
Theatrical Thunder.
The voting progressed amid tet
rific demonstrations of enthusiasm,
which soundpd to Democratic ears
very much like theatrical thunder
manufactured for the occasion.—
The vote was finally made unani
mous, f dlowed by terrific cheering.
Disgusted Democrats.
Tt was expected yesterday that
the Committee on Platform would
report some additional resolutions
for-the purpose of sugar-coating the
Greeley pill, and much dissatisfac
tion and no little disgust is manifes
ted by Democrats to-day finding
themselves, without reservation or
apology, placed on a Republican
p'atform in support of a Radical
candidate.
Eating the Leek.
Some of our Georgia delegation,
among them Col. Geo. R. Black,
from your District, console them
selves with having voted against
both platform and candidate; but
all say there is now no alternative,
and they must swa'low the leek.—
Os course they are not enthusiastic.
The anti-Greeleyiles, bolters, as
they are called, have had two or
three meetings. They denounce
the Greeley Convention as a conspi
racy for the destruction of the Dem
ocratic party, and declare their de
termination to oppose it to the bit
ter end. Among them are promi
nent Democrats from Northern,
Western and Southern States.
Ratification Meeting.
The nominations have not excited
any degree of enthusiasm in the
city. There is to be a grand mass
meeting to night, at which promi
nent Democrats, among them Gen
eral Gordon of Georgia, are to
speak.
Bohemian.
MoNTfiOMr.RT, At'...July 11.—All the daily
Democratic papers of Alabama hive hoisted
the Greeley ticket anl the weekly papers will
do so at the earliest day. The white people are
satisfied with the work of the Convention, but
tho negroes are sore on the subject.
Jackson, Miss., July 11.—The news from
Baltimore was received with great rejoicing.—
There was firing of cannon all the afternoon,
and now a long torch-light procession is pass
ing the principal street*.
Charleston, July 12,—A dispatch from Col
umbia says ttiat the prosecutions under the
Enfo’cement act are to be presseed with un
preeedente 1 vigor and severity in the upper
counties. There is a pile of warrants for ar
rests in Union county alone a foot and a half
thick. Not a dozen citizens of the county, of
Savon blood, wilt escape.
All advices from the cotton fields, both above
and below Charleston, confirm the intelligence
of the general presence of the caterpillar.
Montgomery, Ala., July 12.—The caterpil
lar in unusnal numbers have appeared all
through the cotton belt three weeks earlier
than ever before. The wet weather, which de
velopes the worm, still continues.
New Haven, July 12. jtratz Rrown in re
st o iding to a serenade concludes thus :
“Now I say to you, i l perfect frankness,
that if Mr. Qreeiey hid been nominated as
President of the United States on the distinct
ive issues; of what is termed protection, I
should uever have sustained him, b t when be
had been nominat id on the rec n ;ed grounds
of his statesmanship, his patriotism, his pure
and unsullied honesty amid all the perversities
of politics, then lam ready to accopt him as
my olue sand to say that I will go to the last
ditch with Greeley.”
New York, July 12.--A telegram an
nounces that Grats Brown has serious chole
ra morbus at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Carl
Scburz was refused admittance to his room.
Spann, who recently murdered
his wife ir» Webster county, and

day last, has had his sentence ex
tended to the 26th. An-attempt

sion of lunacy.

A 14 x 13 inch Engraving of the grave of
* Stonewall” Jackson in the Lexington, Va.,
cemetery. The noble Go i. Lee stands beside
the flower-strewn grave over which hangs- a
weeping willow. In the distance is to be seen
a beautiful landscape, hills decked in verdure,
clouds as natural as real ones, and many oth
er things which make this picture a gem of
art; one which should hang in the parlor of
every Southern borne. It is w iihont a rival the
sweetest and most touchingly beautiful en
graving before the public. Sent by mail,
mouuled on a roller and post-paid on receipt
of 20 cents or 3 for 50 cents. Address J. C,
