have very contracted views who want
a representative from their own dis
trict merely becaosa he is from their
district. Office is not a favor to be
bestowed on individuals in sections
simply for their own aggrandisement,
and unless a man has qualifications
for the Legislature he will be an incu
bus on that body, not only to the
county sending him, bat to all the
other counties, however worthy he
may be as a citizen.
First, rate legislators are exceeding
ly scarce; and if a county has one such
it is fortnnate. He should be called
into service at once, and kept there
notwithstanding he may live in the
very John O’Groat’s House of the
county. The benefit resulting from
this to the whole state would over
balance by a hundred fold the local
pride of having a neighbor in the Gen
eral Assembly.
Small and unworthy as these sec
tional prejudices may be. in general,
they are particularly unfounded when
applied to the town of Perry. A few
of the country people feel this now,
and I think ail will feel it when they
make themselves acquainted with the
truth; No part of the county has done
more for the success of the Democrat
ic party than the people of Perry and
the immediate vicinity; and none have
spent their time, taleut and money
more freely for its" advancement. It
can not be denied that on every occa
sion since the war when tlio opposite
party has been defeated, it was owing
mainly to the efforts , cf the people
so unjustly proscribed.
Nor have its citizens tried to con-
trol'the party or monopolize the offi
ces. What claims from other parts
of the county has been resisted by the
people of Perry? Since the war the
Democratic paity of this county has
had sixteen candidates for the Legis
lature, and of these ten were from the
country, five from Fort Valley aud one
from Perry. During the war there
five different candidates, two of whom
were-talo-n from the anny, (One of
them a citizen of Fort Valley and the
other of Perry,) while the other three
were from the country. In the Leg
islature immediately proceeding the
war, Fort- Valley hail two members and
the country-the other one.- . A count
of the candidates for county offices
will show that the town aud districts
containing the Court House have had
less than their pro rata share.
Wlien the convention was ready to
ballott last Tuesday, a candidate from
the conntry was announced whose
name had not beeu mentioned at all
to the people cr delegates of Perry,
but who was nominated by a consider
able majority on the first ballott. The
unanimity showed that a combina
tion had been affected against the Per
ry districts whose delegates were not
even permitted to know the wishes of
the other delegates till the votes were
counted out. This was not the fair
and open dealing which was expected
among gentlemen engaged in a com
mon cause. I think those delegates
did wrong who listened to the point
less cry of Section aud District and
Rin d ; but after all, the.nomihees are
good and true men and I do not
think they have any' of this petty, jel-
oussy about the sections and districts.
I hope they will be supported by
by town and country alike, and that
hereafter we shall hear no more about
the Court House Ring at least until
there is some pleasible ground for it.
Of all the candidates for the Legisla-
frorn this county within, the last fif
teen years (and it may be f° r longer
as my information does not go back
beyond this time) embracing over
twenty different men, there was hut
one resident of Perry at the time of
nomination and but one practising
lawyer.

Bnt onr merchant furthermore says
that he has purchased Mr. Blanks
crop of speckled Crowders at a reason-
ble price, and confidently expects to
sell him seed peas next season at a
high price. However reasonable this
expectation may seem, it may be dis
appointed, for Mr. Blank may con
clude to buy his seed peas from some
other merchant. Will Air. Blank be
kind enough to keep an account of
his purchases and sales, and inform
the people what rate of interest he

There is another man who has some

the same is failing to make heavily.—
A glorious pres, est is being blighted.
It is not- to be expected therefore that
he will speak extravagantly on the fa
vorable side of things. Last year he
made eighty-six bales of cotton. The
area planted in cotton this year is not
as large as it was last year.

the
tlemcnt of accouitts betweea them,
when a dispute arose as to some
item, Mr. Hotiser left Mr. B’s, store
remarking that he would see him
again as be had insulted him. He
went to Mr O’Pry’s grocery, got his
pistol and returned witlHt in his hand.
Mr. B. was soon called out to a wagon
when an altercation took place between
them neat the door of Mr. Schilling’s
store. The statements as to the words
insulting or otherwise used by them
ate conflicting, some sayiiig Mr. B.
denied using them, white, others say
he apologised,-afrate Mr .Houser shot
Mr. Branson, he falling to the ground
when he fired two more snots ai him,
both striking the ground. Mr. Hons-
er then went into Mr. Schilling’s store
threvf down his pistol, passed out at
the back door and when last seen was
running down Ball Street near Dr-
Gilbert’s residence. As soon as they
could procure horses, Deputy Sherift
Norwood and City Marshall Marsh-
bnrnestarted nipursnit.
- Mi. Brunson was carried into bis
store and -the wound probed and sev
eral peaces of bone and a piece of the
ball extracted by Drs. J - B. and J. D.
Smith. The ball knocked out too teeth
and ranging upward two.inches and a
quarter. The wound is a very painful
one, bnt not considered necessarily
dangerous. As to the nature of the
of the quarrel and words we will not
repeat them as rumored; and proba
bly the above statement is not cor
rect in every particular, as we ob
tained reports from witnesses who had
different points of observation.
It is with pain that we record the
event.
About twelve or one ocloek Mr. Hous
er was captured by Deputy Sheriff Bor-
wood near the Poor House, aud the
ease is undergoing legal investigation
before Judge Biller.
and requsting Geo. S. Haslam Jr., to
aet as Secretary. The chairman Lav
ing explained the object of the meet
ing, on motion, B. T. Moore, Wm.'F.
McGehee, and Geo. S. Haslam Jr.,
were chosen by aclimation to repre
sent this District in nomination.
In view of the question whether
the Bugas Bonds, shall be paid by the
State or not? That will come before
pur next Legislature, we deem it ad
visable as tax pays to call the atten
tion of the citizens of tliis county to
the fact that we should nominate no
man that will not pledge himself to
vote for the amendment, prohibiting
the payment of said Bonds, and also
in the coming Congressional election
that it is the duty of every trite. Dem
ocrat to snrport the regular nominee
of the party, though the few may
eiuim that Mr..Candler did sign Mr.
BimbaU’s petition, rather than loose
their vote add thereby strengthen the
candidate of the Radical party who is
in favor of the civil rights bill.
