How well lie knew the rather rig

“As I was hurrying along this

called, I was turning over ih my
mind whether it would not be a

“What a hideous thought!”
“Oh* I did not slacken my pace in

In the mean time the doctor had

“Dear Miss Foster” said the young

troublesome selves ?”
“Do 3-ou want to leave us ?”
“ Want 11 leave you ? You who

Further than this, at more than one

There being no objection he took his
seat. It was stated Iq- the Chair
that in several of the Congressional
Districts there was no Executive
Committee, and suggested that some
action should be taken. Col. Bland

vention. The motion was discussed
in a conversational manner, and fi
nally decided in the negative. Col.
Trammell moved that the Chairman
be instructed to issue an address,
embodying the views of the commit

had prepared a brief statement of
the political situation, which he

Col. Reese moved that the state

To the Democratic Party of Georgia :
You are soon to engage in another
election for the control of your State,
Your recent victories should not
make you over confident of success.
The opposition are thoroughly or
ganized for the conflict. Are your
forces ready for the field ? Is there
union and harmony in your ranks ?
Union is success, division is defeat.
Select good men, able men to lead
you, and give them a united, cordial,
hearty support. Be not divided by
local issues; beware of jealousies
arising from “claims overlooked,
“stocked conventions,” and personal
prejudices. These are weapons fur
nished by a skillful enemy to break
your ranks and defeat your cause.
Look with distrust upon “People’s
Tickets,” “Citizens’ Candidates,”
when brought forward in opposition
to your regular nominees. They are
subterfuges generally of disappoin
ted aspirants, who are used by the
opposition to defeat your organiza
tion. We cannot afford to. destroy
or weaken the Demopiatic party.
It has rescued the State from Rad
ical misrule ; it has broken the al
liance that existed between power
and crime; it has checked the sys
tem of public plunder which was
driving our people to bankruptcy and
ruin ; it has restored the control of
the government to the virtue and in
telligence of the State; it has given
Georgia a position in the Union be
yond that of her unfortunate sisters
of the South. Will you, relying up
on your majority, grow listless and
unconcerned ? Remember bleeding
South Carolina, \yill you split into
petty jealousies and endanger your
success? Think of downtrodden
Louisiana. Will you, by a thirst
for position and place, distract and
divide your forces ? Look at plun
dered Florida, and determine that in
this contest patriotism shall guide
3-our actions and your hopes. Your
defeat is Radical rule, and Radical
rule is oppression, civil rights bills,
social degradation, plunder and
bankruptcy. Your success gives as
surance of constitutional government,
enforcement of law and maintenance
of right. The cause is worthy of
your efforts ; its success should be
the day star of your ambition. In
dividual responsibility is essential to
a favorable termination of the strug
gle.
Let the campaign be quick, sharp,
decisive. Look well to your nomina
ting conventions. See to it that
none but men of integrity are offer
ed to the people for their support-
men who will spurn the rings that
would raid upon your treasury—men
who will look only to the interest and
honor of the State ; and with such
men to bear your standards you will
command a victory. In the Federal
elections is great need of action. In
difference before gave Georgia men
in Congress who would have inflic
ted upon the white people of the
State injuries and insalts too revolt
ing to contemplate. Justioe to your
selves, justice to your children, jus
tice to peace and good order, justice
to Immunity, justice to an ignorant
race they would ruin under the guise
of friendship—all, require of you
action, decisive effort, unceasing la
bor, to brand these men with the
seal of condemnation and remove
them from a position they have de
graded and disgraced. Men of Geor
gia, the issue is with you; it is big
with consequence. Do your duty,
and all will be well with you and
your noble old State.

Good Hints to Hen Folks.
Do ever men folks think how much
work they make a woman do by going
into a house with muddy boots ? It
would take but a moment to use the
scraper and leave outside the dirt
whioh they track over the floor, oil
cloth and carpet, or which they
leave on the stove hearth or fender
—all of which must be mopped,
cleaned, scraped, wiped and scrub
bed off. If your wife, mother or sis
ter fail to clean up the dirt you great
big boy or man have made, what a
howl you raise because“things about
the house look go like sin,” And
when you go home at noon or night,
do you ever notice how jou act?
You enter the door with a slam—it
closes half and some woman must
with their immortal bloom.

An Irish Legal Decision.—The

two men had a quarrel in a liquor
shop. They adjourned outside to
settle the dispute. The first man
being from Connaught, immediately
seized a lump of stone and let fly at
the head of his opponent, who dip
ped liis head and missed the stone,
which went through an expensive
plate-glass window; and did much
damage. A magistrate was called
upon next morning to determine
wnich of the two should pay cost.
The evidence clearly showed that the
aim waa a good one. and th atr if the
second man had not dipped his head
he would have been struck. “There
fore,” said the magistrate, “he must
pay the damages, as it is certain the
first man didn’t intend to injure the
window, and the window would not
have been injured if it had not been
for the act of the second man.
