EFontfu, accep ting the nomination fur Representative, tendered him Ly the Democracy of Rroukß county, —in wlich he also takes occasion to briefly allude to his < flkial career whilst in Atlants, and unequivo cally ditines bis political status—which, as every one knows, is undeviatingly Democratic. As to tils record whilst s member of the late Legislature, we pre sume noig: will object: it is that of a clear beaded, thought fa I, judicious and conservative statesman. He has cer tainly served his constituents faithfully, end we teel satisfied, that if certain measures in which our citizens arc in* tereated, failed to become law, the fail ure cannot be attributed to any lack of energy or vigilance on the part of Oapt. Hun Ur. Read his letter carefully; it is ■ plain, candid, social talk with the peo ple. The u Do| Low.’’ A strong iffort was made at the re cent session of the Legislature to enact • lew ,to be of force throughout the State, for the encouragement of the growth ol wool. It was a judicious measure, and we are surprised that it mot with in tense opposition. The policy was to decrease the number of worthless dogs, by sssi saing a tax on tlio < wiiera of the same. Members of both houses, fearful that snch a measure would dam age their influence with constituents, waged a gsinst the measure hitter opposition; and the best that could be done was the passage of a local hill for the counties of Hancock, Terrell and Rrooks, taxing the owners of all dogs, except widows, our dollar per head, and applying the proceeds thereof to educational purposes. Thfa bill passed both Houhcr, and onr eateeined and efficient representative, Capt. Hunter, left Atlanta with thn im pression, that thn officers of the General Assembly had discharged their doty, mid that the three counties designated would, in future, lie enabled to raise sheep with some degree of safety ; hut, wo arc in formed by an Atlanta Correspondent, of the Savannah Nr.us, that the Speaker of the House of Representatives failed to sign the bill bolore he left the Capital, and beurc it failed to become a luw. . Vrllilrreßcr. The political campaign is waxing warm, and fistienfi* are the order of the day. A dispatch from Louisville on the 3d, (the day previous to the straight out Convention,) a tight occurred in the rotunda of the'Galt House between Col". Blanton Dunr.au and Dr. Keller The difficulty grew out of a political conver s.tion. Dttucan declared he had been i.Acred half a million by tho (Jreclcy party to break up the Louisville straight out Convention. Gen. Custer, to whom the remark was addressed, responded that the other party most have offered more; that fie could provu that Duncan hud said that the whole thing was a 1 hueguin and sale, and if he was to be BoM he would sell to tho party that! would pay the best price. Duncan re upeudsd that Custer’s informant was a ! liar. Dr. Kellar responded : “I am responsible for the statement,” and de mandril a retraction. Duncan refused, when Kellar struck him violently in the face. Duncan reeled hut did not full, i catching by a chair, with which he at tempted to strike Dr. Ketlar. Several blows passed, when tho parties were separated. Again, to Washington city, on the 3d, one of the President's household as saulted an editor, oa account of an arti cle in the Capital of the day previous. Tim parties were Judge Louis Dent and a Mr. Rued. But little damage was dons. We refer to these events solely as ev ident* of the probable bitterness of the psouußt campaign, and they sbonld verve us a warning to politicians against giving rein to .the angry passion and resentments engendered heat of | psrt’tan strife. County Affairs. Various rumors having gained cre dence in ttd* county, which are detri mental to the official conduct of the dts tingni-hed gentleman who presides over our County Court, wo recently consti toted ourself a Committee of one, and marie an investigation of the same, and are happy to announce that the adminis tration of the'•(T.iirs of this county by- Judge Harden, is entirely satisfactory to us, and will eventually prove so to Un people, One report prevailing, is that the Connty Ccnrt, instead of curtailing ex pens* a, will vastly enhance the expend! tures of the county. Sufficient time has not etaperd to demonstrate the truth or falsity of this snpposition; but Die indi cations arc that the establishment of this Oonrt will prove advantageous to the county in a financial aspect. Take, for instance, the jail expenses: previous to the organization of this Court, they amounted to from $250 to S4OO for every six months—and dining tho four months tl*e County Court has been in existence, the jail fees have been only two dollars and sevrnty*!ive cents. This is, of it self, a considerable saving. Another report to which wc desire to allude, is the expense attending the ta ilors of the Committee appointed to in vestigate the i &ot and present financial condition of the county. Tt is said that the labor to be peth rmed by this com mittee will cost tbc county several hun dred dollars. Well, If such should prove the case, censure must rest upon the Grand Jury and not tl c Connty Judge For it was a former Grand Jury that recommended the appointment of the investigating committee, and as will h<- observed by the following < fficial order appointing the committee, it will devolve upon a fntnrc Grand Jury to the amount to be paid for its services : {Copy of Outer.)

The third report is to the effect, that the ‘‘logging" of the new embankment in the Oknptleo creek bottom, bus been given to a citizen at an exorbitant price, when other parties were ready to take it at a gieatly reduced price. The work ha* not been contiacted for, nor will any action bo had in reference to ti e matter, iinleaH recommended by the Grand Jury. In auid event the contract will bo given to the 'oweat bidder. (•rent Loan of Life The steamer Metis, of the Newport line, running between New York and Providence, at 4 o'clock on the morning ol Ftiday last, was struck by a schooner when about six miles from Watch Hill Rhode Taliiud, and foundered almost im mediately. The Baltimore Gazette says tie night waadnik and stormy. The passengers, one hundred and fifty souls in all, were asleep in their berths. The first intimation of danger that reached them was a slight shock, not sufficient to awaken llu-m to a sense if their-peril; for we read that as the boat was discov ered to he sinking, and only then, the passengers were aroused and warned to secure life preservers. It was too late. A large uomber of those on hoard, how ever, had time to climb to tho uppor deck, which parted from the bull, and four hours afterwards struck the shore. Oth cr passengeis were taken off hy tho two j lit** boats; but, judging from the only one ; of those boats that has yet been heard | from, and which, according t<> the tele gram receive!, contained but six per sons, tbosc saved by this means were | very few. From tho confused 'reports (which have reached us thus far, we gath er that from fifty to seventy-five of those who took passage on the Metis, and were i rooa'-d on that disastrous Friday morn ing to lace in the midst of a heavy storm a sudden and frightful pctil, perished with tbo parting of the upper deck from the hull, or were washed off the lortner in the ton.; lour hours it slowly floated toward the shore. It was one of tiie most appalling accidents that has hap pencil recently on our coast. Who ia to blame for its occurrence cannot be ascer tained at prtseut; but the fact tbnt the captaiu refuged to leave the steamer and enter the life-boat, speaks well tor his courage si and his stnse of duty. The last session of the Legislature passed four hundred and six acta and tbiriy-lour resolutions. Capt- Hunter’s Letter of Accep tance. Tv the People of Brooke Covnty: Having been notified that at the Dem ocratic Convention that assembled at Quitman, on the first Tuesday in Angnat last past, I had received thn nomination for re-election to the position of Rcpro ! sentntive in the State Legislature, it is, perhaps, proper that I should duly ac knowledge this very flattering manifes tation of the continuance of your confi dence, and of the endorsement yon there by gave to tbc faithful manner that 1 have endeavored to discharge the trust heretofore confided to me. In accepting the nomination tints ten dered me, permit me to offer my grate ful and heartfelt thank*, and to assure you that, if elected, I shall continue, as 1 have throughout my brief Legislative career, to guard with a watchful and jealous eye, not only all the matters of (.local intercut to my constituents, hot al | so to the best of my feeble ability all the | great State interests that may c me tie | fore me. If you have not bad an able ! Representative in me, I think I may gay, I without arrogance or vanity, that you | have bad a faithful arid vigilant one. j And I believe this will bo borne witness to by a large majority of tbc Legisla tors with whom I have labored (he past two sessions. It is dne to you tlial a candidate for your suffrages, {c#pecia!'y for a seat in thn General Assembly,) should clearly and unequivocally define his position. A tid not to 'cave yon in doubt in re gard to myself, I will say that be , in future tire same unswerving, unflineb i ing Democrat I have been in the past. I I shall support, with all the zeal anti en ergy I possess, for re-election, our pres ent honest, faithful ‘and efficient Gov ernor, James M. Smith, and do all in my power to secure his success; and with | him I shall use all honoiable no nns in j my power to elect the Democratic can didate for Congress in this District, tak ing it for granted, the mantle of the par-1 ly will fall upon one worthy to wear it. At the same time, I consider it a patri otic duly to support for the Presidency Horace Greeley. And although 1 can not bring the same heartiness and zeal t>> the support of our Presidential candi dates that I do to our State ticket, still I will do my duty cheerfully. In giving an account of my past stewardship, I will only allude to a very few matters of general interest, in which I took an active part. I voted to sna- ( tain and ratify the lease of the Western ! A Atlantic Unad; and I was forced to I this hy the evidence, to which I most re spectfully ri fer you. And I voted to refuse the payment of the millions of fraudulent and illegal bends of the Slate, that note issued by Bullock withnot authority of law, and negotiated by him and his thieving confederates, and b>r which the Stale never received a dollar's bemfit. And for the extension of the! Atlantic & Golf Railroad, I worked with all the power, mind, aidor sod ability I i possessed, and I think by my efforts I ! Contributed an humble piart to the paa- 1 sage of that measure through the Is-gis- l lature. And though this scheme failed of success, hy reason of tho Governor 1 having il uhts about its constitutional!- j tv, still I hope that the next Legislature j will he able to steer clear of constitution- j al difficulties, and it will yet lie a grand ; success. I will not stop to speak of tl c i advantages of thia magnificent enter- j prise, not only for South and Southwest Georgia, but to the entire State, as I j presume all ia well understood by every ; citizen of Southern Georgia. I find, on reaching home, that I have a formidable cm pi titor in thn field in the person of Mr. K. C. Wade. This ■ gcntli man declares himself an it depen - | dent candidate, but does not put hi* cm ! didacy upon the ground of anything an j fair or u> just in the nomination. I ap prehend nothing of this sort existed. ' Ho, while ignoring live and vital qncs -1 lions, attempts to make two false issues, | that are practically dead. Tfcju I cannot I permit him to do. As before stated, 1 1 voted to sustain the State Road lease, i This question is definitely settled. He I : next “deprecates the attempt," made hy the last Legislature, to re with “the wise provisions of the State Homo stead Law.” Now, if there was any se rious attempt made by this lody to in terfere with this law, I am not aware of it. It is a part of the organio law ot ' our State, and every man who aspires to Legislative bouars, ought to know that it cannot be abrogated by a mere 1 legislative enactment, but only in the j way prescribed by tbo Constitution it self. Anil in doing this, the people are brought to a diroot vote on the question 1 —and that after action l.y two-thirds of two successive Legislature's. The last Legislature took no action iu regard to this. I would bring tbe gentleman to the i diiect and vital issues that nre before tbe people. Whom, air, will you sup port for President, Governor and Oou gressf And it is currently reported that. Cows A Cos., and other holders of those fraudulent State botids.-before men-! tinned, will spurs neither money nor !«- ’ bor (o control the next Legislature, in order to get those bonds pnid. How do yon stand. Colonel? Do yon say jay them, or not? These arc things the peo ple have a right to know. And if yoo meet me in public discussion, I want to ask 3'oti several other i|tn aliens. At the same time 1 will frankly answer *ny you propound. In conclusion, I would say to the col ored people : You are wrong in sup posing that I am your enemy. Any measure that will serve to benefit and elevate yonr race, I will cheerfully sup port. For I feel that by so doing 1 will work a substantial and lusting benefit to the people of rny own color. Any thing that will aerve to letter prepare you for good citizenship, works good tp both races. But anything that is de signed to provoke antagonism and hos tility between ns, will work harm to both; and any rnau, white or black, that endeavors to array you against the white people for the purpose of getting yout votes watch him—he is your bitterest enemy, and will betray you whenever it is to his interest to do so, I persuade myself that J now occupy no doubtful or neutral ground; but 1 pledge myStlf, if eh cted, to wotk Silli gently and faithfully "fora II my people, as I hare tried to do in time past. Very truly and respectfully, • JAS. U. HUNTER. County Treasurer. Quitman, Ga., Sept. 4, 1872. Editor of Quitman Hanna : 1 Dear Sir.—l perceive that lam an- I nonneed a candidate for the office of County Treasurer—and candor compel!* rue to admit that I can hare no objection whatever to accept of said position, pro vided rny fellow-citizens of Brooks coun ty, express a preference for me at the proper lime. But, owing to the post ponement of the election until January, it is entirely too so'n tote annoying the people with announcement of candi dates for County officers. You will, therefore, please discontinue the notice at it) the Bannzr, and at the prnjrer time 1 may appeal to the people of the county for their suffrage for the j position designated. At p-eseut the election is too remote an event. Very respectfully, D. U. McNEIL. [ Communicated.l Mr Editor: —The Grand Jury of Rinnan County at the May Term of the Superior Court, 1872, in their General •Presentments recommended that a tax of one hundred per cent, for general coun ty purpose's, and a tax of Jiie. per cent, for a ijpecial pauper fund, be assessed on the State tax of Brooke county, for the ye»r 1872; making a total of one hundred andjive per cent. My sympathy for the people just at this lime, and rny senao of duty as a public officer, have given to me moment* of considerable anxiety. I have deter inim and. however, in view of the ravnges of the caterpillar, and other disasters, to make the tax as light this fall as I possibly can; and now the bond hill has Irecome a law, I am satjfficd that with the sale of a tew thousand dollars of them, 1 can lighten the burthen of taxa tion, and give the peoplclwo more crops to pay the county out of debt. I have recently received several letteis from New York, wanting to purchase these bonds, I do not feel astonished that they j will be in great demand, as three mil liana of dollars worth of property, under the.law, is bound for their redemption; j and they are by the act, made free from county and municipal tux, and diaw ten i per cent, interest. Butter than any .rail l mail stork, as there i* nothing to fear from rival and competing lines. Fur the .'information of the public, I that : I have instructed o»r polite and courte | ous Treasurer, Col. \V. A. Lane, to take comity scrip for these bonds just the same us U. S. Currency. 1 will redtem every dollar of this county money as it is called These bonds will lie in the heed* of Col. W. A.
