been exceedingly boastful as to
- their strength and what they would
do. There was scarcely a doubt
then but that it would instruct for
Bac«n. But the Gordon men have
stormed the county m i carried
the day. The convention met this
morning at !() o’clock in Vienna.
The Gordon following in the county
was there in sufficient numbers to
outvote the politicians. The farm
ers and old soldiers, and young
men and every body erfe' who fa
vored Gordon mad.' it a point to be
present and have a voice in the ac
tion of tiie county, though some of
them had to come twenty miles to
doit. The vote stood, Gordon one

one hundred and twenty-one.

Calhoun, Go., June 1. The people
ot Gordon county met in mass
. meeting to-day for the purpose of
electing delegates to the gubernato
rial and congressional conventions.
Resolutions were adopted to the ef
fect that candidates for governor
and for congress, should be voted
for by written ballot, and the chair-
tan of the meeting should appoint
^legatee to the representativecon-
j’tntions to vote for the candidate
ing the majority of votes
and a political opponent. Oppor-1 t> 0 th sides were mowed down like
the ripe wheat before the scythe.
Mr. Ware was commanded togc on
picket duty. It was a bitter cold
night. The snow was on the ground
many inches deep. Mr. Ware had
come out of the battle just fought
tyilhout receiving any wounds, but
with the loss of nearly all his cloth
ing. To have stood at his post of
duly during the night would have
been sure death. As Gen. Gordon
rode down the line that night he
discovered the situation of Mr.
Ware, oniy a poor soidier as he was,
and hi* heart went out in sympathy
to him. Removing his own coat,
hat and shoes he turned them over
to the trembling guard and finish
ed his ride in that condition. Mr.
Ware survived the conflict, return
ed home and settled down on his
farm, but never forgot this simple
act of kindnest. and his first born
after the war was -hristened “Gor
don Ware.” It cannot be disputed
that Gen. Gordon has a heart for
his people, capable of sympathizing
with them in their needs, both in
the war and since, and his past
life has demonstrated this fact to
the perfei t satisfaction of all un
biased minds.

for Gordon to-day, amid great
enthusiasm. The Gordon dele

Col Price, representing Maj. Bacon,
received only twenty-three. The
delegates were not instructed but
were asked to declare their views,
when Col. Baker announced that
they were for Gordon, first, ’ast
and all the time. The crowd went
wild with excitement.
Cummins, Ga, June 1—The br*ye
old soldiers met here today, deter
mined to resent the slanders made
upon their old commander. General
Gordon. George N. Lester, the one
armed hero of the mountains, and
William L; Chamblee appealed to
the people in behalf of Gordon and
purer methods in state politics. By
a vote of 193 for Gordon and 108 fur
Bacon, Forsyth county placed her
self right on the record.
There is great enthusiasm among
the Gordon men in this county.
The abt ve are significant words,
and coining from Maj. Bacon’s or
gan, the Macon Telegraph,astonish
es us considerably, when it is ta
ken into consideration that Maj.
Bacon and that paper have de
nounced Brown, Colquitt and Gor
don as the political ring and
triumvirate that entered intoa“bar-
gain and sale” of a high public
trust. This explode-, its high sound
ing cry of Atlanta ring. After all
of its abuse of Gov. Brown for years
it now gives him as go id a certifi
cate of character as any man need
want. A man who“neither lies nor
steals” will <jo nothing else mean.
We do not believe this good certifi
cate of character would have been
forthcoming from such an unex
pected source if it had not been
shown that Maj. Bacon sent for Joe
Brown during the last nominating
convention and was closeted with
him making friendly overtures for
his “influence” to secure the nomi
nation. Gov. Brown assured Maj.
Bacon that he preferred him to the
other candidate, but Joe Brown’s
influence did not prevail anil Gov.
McDaniel secured the nomination.
Evidently Governor Brown’s “influ
ence” is wanted again in the pres
ent race by Major Bacon.—Mariet

[ IIS WHO LITE TOO LOSG.
We beg leave to differ. We do
not think so. The Philadelphia
Times has this to say about Davis
and Toombs:
“The two central figures of the
Southern Confederacy who lived a
quarter of a century after the rebel
lion began without either learning
or forgetting anything, could be
named by any average schoolboy
of the land. The names of Jeffer
son Davis and Robert Toombs will
he conspicuous in the annals of the
impartial history of the great con
flict between the North and the
South, as illustrative of the weak
ness that often conquers greatness.
Toombs was one of the fiery hot
spurs of tiie South. He was nothing
if not tempestuous. He revelled in
the storm of sectional strife and
welcomed the flame of battle as a

Harlem, G a., June 1— According

The Paulding Era publishes an
interview with Colonel D. Pike Hili
in which some wholesome truths
are told. As to Gordon’s resigning
his seat in the Senate, Colonel Hill
says:
As to his making a bargain, it's a
lie of whole cloth. Why, see here, if
he had been corrupt enough to sell
out, he could have sold himself a
thousand times as Senator while in
office for all the money he wanted.
But Gordon, with ail of his misfor
tunes in business affairs, ha ■ so act
ed that he retains the confidence
of those who have dealt with him,
and no man has ever dared say he
got a dollar he was not entitled to,
in or out of office. It seems we have
two resigning candidates before the
people. Gordon resigned a civil
office when no great question de
manded his attention and retired to
private life. Bacon, on the other
hand, resigned the adjutancy c'f the
Ninth Georgia, with the enemy in
front, and took office in the commis
sary department outside of bullet
r;jj’ge. Take your choice. It is
said that Bacon is entitled to it be
cause he has been beaten so often.
Well, it does look like it’s hard for
him to catch the office, and for
once, it seems, he has taken time
by the forelock, for tiie rush of some
counties in hastening to the front
with little courthouse cliques as
delegates in his favor is exciting the
merriment of oid iron-side Demo
crats who rallied for Gordon in 1868
and elected him Governor, though
he was counted out by the return-
board, backed by federal bayo
nets. In 86’ the party could hardly
get a candidate. Well do I re
member the trouble we had to get
a man to make the race, for I was
on the state Democratic Executive
Committee. Our people were dis
pirited and demoralized. Then it
was the chivalric Gordon threw
himself irto the fight and siezing
the Democratic colors rallied the
clans from one end of the state to
the other in defense of equal rights
and constitutional liberty. Talk
about beating such a man! Why
the old soldiers would turn in their
graves to see one defeated they had
followed so often to victory and
glorv. No sir, let us first honor
the men who faced the bullets and
when these old fellows have passed
away and we have laid them be
neath the Confederate monument
and cast the posies all over their
graves, we will hunt up the bomb
proof boys and do unto them what
• The Griftin Mews says that the
following editorial from Sunday’s
Constitution revives some memo
ries that will not serve to help Ba
con’s cause in that section:
When Major Bacon stated in Au
gusta that “with the circumstances
between General Gordon and him
self reversed” he would not have
made the contest, his hearers must
have thought of the case of Gov
ernor Boynton.
Nothing we believe in the history
of the State, exceeds that in person,
a' greed. Major Bacon had been
overwhelmingly beaten for Gov
ernor by Mr. Stephens. After a
campaign in which that grand old
man had been abused and ridiculed
by Bacon’s friends until he vai
worn out and exhausted, he lived
but a few months. Colonel Boyn
ton, theu president ot the Senate,
succeeded to the Governor’s chair.
By no act of his own, but by the
touch of death, he was
placed in this delicate and respon
sible position. In seif respect he
was obliged to ask that he be allow
ed to serve out his unexpired term.
His friends hoped that he would be
permitted to do so without opposi
tion.
But they 7 counted withou lh«ir
Lost. Before Mr. Stephens’ body
wi .3 buried, Major Bacon was in the
field against Boynton, and a cam-
aigi. never surpassed in virulence
and ferocity was waged against the
le-t and estimable gentleman.
Wh :re w. s Major Bacon’s delicacy
of lecling when Colonel Boynton
and his frlen Is asked that he he al-

term to which he had been called
by death ?

The barber’s shop was next door
to the baker’s shop, and the baker
had just gotten a ton of coal. The
c.,al had been dumped on the side
walk, ami after the fashisD of coal
men, much nearer to the barber’s
door than to the baker’s to whom it
belonged. The barber had just got
ten the lather on a customer, when
one of the genus tramp came in.
“Put in yer coal, mister ? “No,” said
the barber, pleasantly “no,’’
my triend, that’s not my coal
you know” The tramp had hardly
disappeared round the corner
when another opened the door.
“Put yer coal in fur ye, mister?”
“No,” said the barber a little
sharply;“the coal’s not mine, I say.
They kept coming, and seven
of them appeared in twenty min
utes, and to the eighth man the bar
ber is alleged to have said: “Git!
The blamed coal ain’t mine.” “Now
see here,” said the shavee, “there
ain’t no use of getting mad over it
Ju-t put up a sign sayin’, ‘This coal
ain’t mine.’ That’s all ye need.”
“Say, you’ve got a great head,”
said the taiLir, SLd in a few mo
ments he had the sign stuck on the
tep of the heap of coal. “Reckon
i hat’ll fix it,” he remarked. The
door opened and a tall man with
a shovel looked in. “Say, mister,
did you put that sign up, for did the
other feller?” Then the barber,
closed his shop and went out and
got drunk—with malice afore
thought . He had only one remark
to make when Justice Meech fined
him $5. “Mister Judge,” he said,
“can’t I make that baker pay my
final”
warrior whose distempered
forbade him distinction as a milita
ry chieftain. He had been embit
tered by the election of Davis over
him as the Chief Magistrate of the
Confederacy, and while wildly en
thusiastic in his cause, he had little
faith in its agents who commanded
him. He fretted through four
years of war believing that cause
was lost because lie did not wear its
greenest laurels, and when it failed
he fretted through another score of
years, proud that he was an alien
and a stranger to his country aud
half-contented that the South had
lost because he had not been called
to lead it. He had, in one of his tern
pestuous oratorical flights, prom
ised himself and the world that he
would call the roll of his slaves on
Bunker Hill, and when history
mocked his prophecy by denyin
him the right to call the roll of his
slaves even in his own heartsome
and hospitable home in Georgia,
patriotism, ambition and hope per
ished from his life, and he impa
tiently waited until the shadows
settled into night. He was abie
the conflicts of the able; generous
in all the best attributes of personal
character;justiy oeloved or respec t
ed by all who know him, either in
his brilliant rising or his clouded
setting sun; but he lived too lon fe .
During the period in which a gen
eration came and passed away, he
learned nothing, forgot nothin
and when he was lately borne to the
City of the Silent, it was the luner-
al pageant of what was only a lin
gering memory of generally forgot
ten greatness.
Jefferson Davis coines to the fo
rum or falls into epistolary effort
now and then, apparently to teach
the country and the world that the
unforgetful shall not be forgotten.
He was not of the hot-headed lead
ers of the South, but he was among
the most extreme in conviction and
cool and able in counsel. He was
chosen to the Presidency of the
Confederacy, and to that trust he
gave always faithful but not always
wise devotion. Whether another
could have achieved greater re
sults for the rebellion, need not
now be discussed. His was the po
sition in which success only could
be successful, aud in which failure,
from whatever cause, must fall
heavily upon the responsible chief.
He did his part and failed; and
failing, he was respected for the
dignity with which he retired and
accepted the judgment that left
him without home or country. That
his life should be a hopeless one
since sceptre and nation had fled,
was only the inexorable logic of the
momentous events in which he was
one of the most illustrious actors.
Others could renew their allegiance
and revive their devotion to the
Union; but he embodied the lost
cause in himself as its foremost
representative; his work was ended
and he could only wait until the
long halt came to crystallize rever-
en.-e for his memory among friends
and temper the harsh resentments
of foes. He had co-laborers akin to
him in responsibility for the at
tempt and failure to establish a
slave Republic. Stephens, the sec
ond executive officer, and Lee, the
chieftain of the heroic armies of the
stars and bars, were side by side
with Davis in rebellion; but Steph
ens was among the first to return to
allegiance and official participation
in the government he sought to
overthrow, and Lee maintained the
sublime dignity of silence. His
battles were fought; his cause was
lost, he had no war with destiny,
and he lived in usefulness and hon
or until his days were numbered.
Davis could not have come with
Stephens to share the honors of the
nation he hads truggled to dis
member; but he could and should
have been equal to the philosophy
of Lee. Could Tie have learned the
lesson that Lee taught in mute but
impressive eloquence, his Mont
gomery speeches would never have
been uttered to grate upon the con
siderate judgment of the present,
North and South, ‘like sweet bells
jangled and out of tune,’ but Jeffer
son Davis has learned nothing, has
forgotten nothing, and he is one of
the many who have lived too long.”
From the Washington, Ga., Chrun
iele.
It is probably not generally
mown that a very interesting relic
if the war times is owned in this
place. It is the canip chest of Pre
lent Jefferson Davis which he used
while visiting armies of the South
rt is solid mahogany and as well
made as skilled workmanship could
make it; is three feet long, two fee
deej* and one foot wide, by act
ual measurement; a leaf hangs
lown on each side, aud when raised
makes a table three feet square, the
Lid forming the center leaf. The in
terior of the chest is in two com
partments, one large and open, the
other filled with cases of different
depths that slide down and rest on
each other. Some of these were
made for holding salt, pepper and
other condiments for table use,
The lamented , Mr. Bobert
Toombs recoguized this chest a few
years ago, and remarked that he
had eaten from it in the camps
near Richmond.
A,t the evacuation of the Confed
erate capitol, Mr. Davis found he
could not carry this chest with
him and so requested Col. J. T. Tay
lor Wood to present it toJMaj. John
B. Weems. The latter, now de
ceased, was the father of Mrs. Belle
Virgin of this place, who now owns
his very interesting relic. Mrs.
Virgin lived in Macon until a few
years ago, when she moved to this
place. While living l -.ere she was
first offered a thousand dollars for
the chest by a Northern man who
finally ran his bid up as high as
three thousand dollars, when
this lady, whose heart has always
burned with that deep sense of pa-
riotism for which our noble s iuth-
ern women were so.noted, frankly
told him that site would not sell
this relic at any price to a man
who had been an enemy to the
South.
this chest was brought on to
Washington at the close of the war
at the same time Mr. Davis came
through, and was concealed here.
Mrs. Virgin afterwards carried it
to Macon when she moved from
here there. It has been in her fa
ther’s and her possession ever since
it'was presented to him.
The following note, the original
of which Mrs. Virgin has, accom
panied the chest:
Colonel J. B. Weems, Commandant
of Post: •
In return for your kindness and at
tention both to Mr. Davis and my
self, please accept this camp chest.
He trusts that you, under more fa-
orable auspices, may have an op
portunity of using it.

A finely engraved drawing from
Hou Jon’s bust of Benjamin Frank
lin is the frontispiece of the June
Century, and several pages of “Un
published letters or Benjamin
Franklin, ” edited by the Hon. Big
elow, add to tiie literary interest of
the number. These letters are a
part of the “Stevens Collection” of
.Franklin’s manuscripts now owned
by the United States Government,
and abound in the good humor and
shrewd and kindly wisdom for
which Franklin’s writings are
famous. The Rev. Dr. J. M. Buckley
contributes a remarkable article on
“Faith Healing and Kindred Phe
nomena,” which is based on many
years of inquiry on his own pari
and on much trustworty testimony.
Ilis conclusions are opposed to the
claims of Christian “faith healers,”
and the article, altogether, offers a
mass of curious and important in
formation. In their order the ii
lustrated papers of the number are
a “Literary Ramble,” by Austin
Dobson, along the Thames from
Fulham to Chiswick, in which we
have allusions to many famous peo
ple known in literature aud in his
tory, and glimpses of the scenery
along “the university-course”; Mrs.
Schuyler van Rensselaer’s second
paper on“American Country Dwell
ings,” with drawings of some of
the handsomest country-houses in
the Eastern States;” a timely pa
per on “Harvard’s Botanic Garden
and Its Botanist,” by Ernest In-
gersoll; and a paper by John Bur
roughs on “Birds’Eggs,” with en
gravings of twenty two varieties
of eggs. The Antietam campaign is
the subject of the war papers in
this number, the illustrations re
ferring mostly to the battle of An-
tie’am, and forming perhaps the
richest pictorial contribution yet
made to the series. General James
Long-treet’s reminiscences are
covered by the title, “The Inva
sion of Maryland.” -Gen. John G.
Walker writes of the battles if
••Harper’s Ferry and Sharpsburg”
-thelatter being the Confederate
name for Antietam. Colonel Henry
Kyd Douglas, of Jackson’s staff re
lates anecdotes of “Stonewall Jack-
son in Maryland ;”'and Charles Car-
let on Coffin, the war correspondent,
describes “Scenes at Antietam.”

The Radicals and the French gov

ly after the bill was passed. This was
accepted as satisfactory and effect
ed a reconciliation between the
Government and Radicals, who will

introduced by the Government.
The concession consists ih nam
ing the families against whom the
bill would he enforced. At first

that if the bill was passed the' ex

Radicals evasive, but the -aming of
toe very families wh< m tl ay rde ,t-

convention at Cleveland, have be
gun the work of reorganization by
adding six members to the Gener
al Executive Board, which it is
provided shall have permanent
headquarters at Philadelphia, and
shall sit in continuous session if
necessary. All the commissions
of the organizers were ordered
recalled, and a Committee on re
vision ot the Constitution, to re
port at the October meeting in
Richmond, Va., was appointed. It

adopted. The proposed treaty be
tween the Trades-Unions aDd the
Knights of Labor which is under
consideration, binds the Knights of
Labor to refuse membership in the
