M. DWIXKl.L, Proprietor.
Tuesday Morning,
May 6,1879
Is vetoing the army bill with the
amendments Mr. Hayes justifies Andrew
Johnson, or rather he sanctions Johnson’s
reasoning, for he did not veto the bill in
a similar instance, but signed it, nnd re
turned, it with his protest against the ac
tion of Congress.
| jTin: evidence in the case of the State
vs. Cox in Fulton Superior Court for the
killing of Col. Alston was concluded Sat
urday evening. There were to be six
speeches by counsel—three for the pros
ecution and three for the defense. This
would probably occupy two days, bo it is
not probable a verdict will bo renehed
before the middle of the week.
Somebody says that David Davis for
President and Alexander II. Stephens
for Vice-President would make a ticket
one might support through thick and thin,
However that may be, we are sure that
Mr. Stephens’ recent resolution oil'ered in
the Democratic caucus as expressive of
the party’s creed, with David Davis to
give it weight, wonld make a splendid
platform.
The Kentucky Democratic Convei
tion met last Thursday, and after a two
days’session, adjourned, having made
the following nominations:
For Governor, Luke P. Blackburn.
For Lieutant-Governor, James E,
Ckn trill.
For Attorney-General, P. W. Hardin
For Auditor, Fayette Hewitt.
For Treasurer, “Dick” Tate.
For superintendent of Public Instruc
tion, Joseph Desha l’itckett.
Eor Register of the Land Office,
Ralph Sheldon.
This body of representative Demo
crats was over sixteen hundred strong,
and consequently there wero some
lively times, but at adjournment all
were jn good humor, while harmony
was the prevailing policy. The Courier-
Journal says of it:
“The convention showed throughout
au antipathy to speeches. Even those
men whose election was the occasion of
uproarious cheering and hat tossing
were snubbed and laughed down when
ever they left the role of a candidate to
answer that cf an orator.
A Kentucky convention is always an
uncertainty, with a tendency to ro
mance. When any man’s heroic acts
are tellingly enumerated, the Kentucky
heart begins to beat, the eye to flash
and the cheek to kindle with enthusi
asm. The racehorse is then ready to
win the viotory. Properly worked up
and judiciously egged on by the whip
and spur of sentiment, the distance to
the string is not far, and the race is
handsome one.
In spite of baulks and attempts to be
unrnly, the Democratic nag behaved
itself well, and came out with its colors
flashing iu the sunlight.
Fatal Tragedy in Marietta.
Atlanta Constitution.
Marietta, May 8.—A terrible run
away accident occurred hero ut 11 a M.
to day, in which Mr. “Chuck” Ander
son, the well-known livery stable man,
had his right arm badly broken in two
places, and his cousin, Mr. Gus Ander
son, received probably mortal injury,
The Art of Vituperation.
SunduyjGaiatie.]
One of the worst developments of the
day is the tendency to vituperation in
our public life. Officials are denounced
as thieves, or robbers on the slightest
provocation—newspapers are declared
venal with scarcely (he shadow of ex-
An editor cannot express an opin
ion but what some malignant fellow sug
gests that his pen has been bought and
his opinions paid far. A public man can
not assume a position or hardly perform
a duty without being besmeared with
epithet and insinuation. It has come to
be a proverb among us that no man, no
matter how bright his record or illustrious
his character, cun make a race or fill an
office without being assaulted on all sides
and written down a villain or an imbe
cile. There are hundreds of good men,
capable in every sense, who are deterred
by this thing from giving any attention
to public life or entering for races. “I
do not care to have my peace destroyed
or my family annoyed by the common
misrepresentations of the day.”
Now, it cannot be that we have fallen
upon an age of universal corruption. It
cannot he possible that Colquitt and Gor
don and Hill—that Lester and Felton
and Speer and Billups and Hammond
and Arnold—are all dishonest or inca
pable, or unpatriotic, or corrupt! And
yet each and every one of these men wa9
bitterly assailed during his campaign,
and came out of it more or less bedaubed
with mud. It is impossible that there
are no honest men in Georgia, and no
Bound statesmen. And yet one to read
the partisan prints or to hear the partisan
discussions, would not think there could
be found ono such man within oui
borders.
We do not deny the importance of fear
less and vigorous criticism of men as
well as measures. Wrong-doing should
be exposed wherever it is found—but
freedom of speech should not give license
to slander. Wo should think more of
each other, and outsiders would think
more of us, if this vicious habit was done
away with.
It is not necessary that argument
should hold vituperation. Epithets nev
er did carry a point or maintain a posi
tion. We doubt if any editor in Georgia
exercises a more positive influence than
Col. John Martin—the veteran of the
Columbus Times—and yet his pure and
strong logic is never muddied with abuse,
or turned away by insinuation. We
earnestly bespeak a fairer tone and a
higher style of discussion in the coming
campaign. We are all Georgians—and
all working fer the good of the State aud
the glory of Georgia. Let the press,
then, set a pattern of dignified and
decorous discussion—that shall lose none
of its vigor because of its cleanliness.
Washington, May 3.—The Democrat
ic members of the House to-day had an
other oaucus, and after an hour’s iltflib
eration definitely determined their line
of action in regard to the army appro
priation bill and agreed upon exact terras
of the measures to be separately passed
in lieu of the sixth section. It being
also agreed that all consideration of the
remainder of the bill shall be deferred
until this independent political measure
shall have been acted upou by the Prcsi
dent. It will provide in substauce that
sections 2002 and 2003 of the revised
statutes shall not be construed as au
tborizing the President to station or main
tain troops at the polls except to repol the
armed enemies of the United States, or
in pursuance of the constitutional re
quirements, upon application of the leg
islature of a State, or of the government
when tho legislature cannot be convened

Anderson, in the excitement of the mo
ment, grasped ono of the reins and
violently pulled the horse to one side
near a tree, against which he was
thrown with great force.
He has not spoken since the accident
and seems at this time to be sinking.
Indeed, there is but little hope of his
recovery, as at present it seems impos
sible to get up a reaction. He is a son
of Mr. Dy. Anderson, and a nephew of
Mr. W. P. Anderson, and is about 23
years old. “Chuck" Anderson, as he is
familiarly called, is doing as well as
could be expected.

Secretary Sherman is about to visit
Ohio where he will confer with the
party leaders about tho desirability of
his being the Republican candidate for
Governor this Fall. A correspondent of
the Philadelphia l’rei s says tho Secre
tary is unwilling to decide until he has
consulted with his friends at home.
The President prefers to have him re
main iu the Cabinet, but if his nomi
nation will contribute to the success of
the Republican party, ho will not object
to his candidacy.
Secretary Sherman, in a conversa
tion with the House Committee
Coinage, Weights and Measures, Satur
day, referred to the act of 1873 demon
etizing silver, and characterized it as
“an unfortunate affair and a grave
blunder.” This is the same John Sher
man who voted for that act and tried
to kill the bill in 1878.

London respects Queen Victoria, but

of Connaught was about to be married,
bets were made at the clubs upon the
chances us to whether the new daugh
ter-in-law would get a shawl. She did,

very tightly, as though it were much

Gsv. Robinson, of Now York, the
other day, in vttoing a bili authorizing
the city of Corning to borrow 83,000 to
pay the interest on some ol' its bonds,
said : “I am not willing to unite in au
thorizing the local authorities of a city
or village to commence the evil practice
of borrowing money to pay the interest
on their outstanding obligations. It is
not a good practice for business men to
pay compound interest, and it is still
worse for municipalities to make the same
mistake. It is simply putting off the
day of final settlement, and insuring in
creased hardships when it comes.”
