Oar Candidate for Governor.
The convention has done its work,
the contest is over and the honored
and gallant Colquitt corues forth vic
torious. This was generally conceded
foregone conclusion, though few even
the most sanguine anticipated the
high compliment or n unanimous nomi
nation by acclamation. Among his
competitors were sonic of the bright
est intellects, the wisest statesmen and
the most honored of Georgia's sons,
and to be thus chosen was a compli
ment but few predecessors have re
ceived and one of which Gen. Colquitt
can justly feel proud. The action of
the Convention was hut an expression
of the will of the people and to it we
respond a hearty well done!
Of tbc antecedents and past histo
ry of (Sen. Colquitt we feel it unneces
sary to speak. They are well known
to the people and mark him as a gen
tleman of ability, a Christian of the
highest type and a soldier true aud
tried. * No act of his private life has
ever marred his character for purity,
honesty and integrity,while his services
in the lost cause cudeared him not only
to the people of his State but of the en
tire South. To him more than to all
others is Florida anil Southern Geor
gia indebted for being shielded from
pillage and devastation by his heroic
action at Olustcc. Had lie no other
claim upon us our gratitude ought to
insuic a unauimous vote from this
end of the State; but iu him we find
every requisite for the high office for
which lie has been chosen, and it
should be the aim of every man who
has the pride of his State at heart and
who desires lioncsly in the adminis
tration of its affairs to secure his tri
umphant election.
Let tlicic then be no dissensions,
no apathy because of personal prefer
ment, blit come up like good and true
men and roll up for bim in October a
majority worthy the mao and the
principles of which he is so able an
exponent.
Democratic Georgia, und the
Education of the Colored Pec*
pic.
It is a favorite charge with some
that the success ot the Democracy in
any Southern Slate is prejudicial to
to the rights of the colored citizen, and
especially m the matter of education.
Now an examination of this question
in Georgia will clearly show that the
education of tlic colored people is as
well attended to, as iu any Sta.e gov
erned by Republicans, and probably
better than in most of them.
The State of Georgia pays $8,COO
annually to tlic university at Athens,
(white) and exactly the same amount
to the uuiversity at Atlanta (colored).
By law, and a law too that is put into
general execution, there is a free
school system in every county in the
State—alike for tlio white and colored.
oot pretended by the authors of
this law or the officers working under
it, that it is perfect in all its opera
tions, but we do affirm that whatever
benefit there may be derived there
from, tlic colored people receive their
full share.
In our .own county there arc fifteen
colored schools, with an average of
thirty-five pupils, and probably more.
The teachers arc paid from 810 to $50
per mouth according to grade, number
of pupils, &c.
The number of colored schools will
in Ibe next two weeks be increased to
twenty. In no case lias an applica
tion for a colored school been refused;
and where there is no school, it is the
fault of the people themselves and not
that of the law, or of the officers un
der it.
The percentage of tuiliou paid out
of the public fund, per pupil, is in ev
ery ease as great for colored as for
white pupils, aud iu many eases great-
IKe commend these facts to the
carclul study of colored Republicans
in this and adjoining States. Let
them repudiate tlic so-called friends,
who only use them to get office, and
do nothing for them, and cast tlieir
votes for Uic good men of the country
who will look after the interest of all
alike. This is our commou country;
let us all do wliat we can to improve
and develop it.

great applause, and, in an earnest
speech, moved Gcueral Colquitt’s

Greg" Wright, of Iticlmioud. then
arose, the house shakiug with plaudits,

that the letter be read.
THE KI LE OF ACCLAMATION.
Ucir. Colquitt was then nominated

plause from the hall aud gallery- The
excitement was intense und the hats
of the delegates went into the air.
committee was then appointed to uo-
tify him of bis uominatiou aud request
his acceptance, either by letter or iu a
speech. The committee returned iu a

rose and an iudescribablo scene en

He made a speech of only a few
minutes, expressing pride that he
should have been selected to lead the
Democratic hosts of Georgia during

and promised to make wisdom, justice
and moderation his motto, ana be a

Editorial Correspondence.
Macon, August 1st, 76.
Promptly at 5:20 this morning
our party was whirled away through
the mists of the early morning.—
The Oddockonec, on its way to the
sea, is passed, then the station of
that name, Pelham and Camilla,
where a capital breakfast at Mrs.
George’s was in waiting. Oiu* par
ty, consisting of the accredited del
egates from Thomas, and those from
Decatur, Messrs. Russell, Crawford,
Campbell, Fleming and Bower, were
joined here by Messrs. Lyon and
Boggs, two out and out Colquitt
men. Of course tbe main and ab
sorbing topic cn route has been tbe
unravelled problem of to-morrow.
We have been joined at various
points by delegates to tbe conven
tion. There is of course a great di
versity of opinion as to the result.—
We are inclined to think however
that Gen. Colquitt’s friends will
rush him through, though Ex-Gov.
Johnson is developing more strength
than we anticipated. Of coarse it
is useless to speculate about the re
sult os it will be known More this
goes to press The “Wiregrass”
region, if there is a showing, will
make a stubborn light for South
Georgia
The crops look well, though much
smaller than iu our section. They
have as a general thing had
plenty of rain. Considerable fears
arc expressed as to tbc possible if
not probable ravages of tbe grass
hoppers. Let us sincerely hope
that our section may be spared this
great calamity.
At Albany this morning we saw
tbc two first boles of cotton of the
crop of 76. One was shipped to
Savannah and the other brought to
this city by our train. It was rais
ed by P. W. Jones of Baker Co.—
The bale was sold ot auction here
this afternoon, and brought 16c the
proceeds amounting to 887.50. The
sole was made by the Flanders Bros.
At Americas the already crowed
train was boarded by a bridal party,
who had but a short hour before
been made one. The gallantly of
our party enabled them to get a seat
together, much to the relief of the
bridegroom, who at one time seem
ed to think that a separation was
inevitable. Their efforts, and at
tempts at non'halance was very
transparent. Every occnpant in the
coach, was soon aware of the fact
that the brightest day of their life
had just dawned. There is no use
trying to conceal these things, they
will crop out.
We leave here ut 0:16 for Atlan-
tuirc; and will reach there at 5
o’clock in the morning if nothing
happens. Macon looks decidedly
dull as iu fact it is. If we can
catch an hour irom the rush aud ex
citement of to-morrow in the Gate
City, will coutinue these hurried
pencillings. T.
There are but two sides to tbe po- 1
litical struggle now going oo; honest
economical government on one hand,
and a continuation of tbe thieves and
public plunderers in power on the oth
er. Let the people of Thomas county
note the position taken by all in this
matter. It will l»e good for future ref
erence.
The Republicans had better induce
Grant to take a European tour. They

Tlic Grasshoppers which hare appeared
may sections of the State are, without
doubt, the Uatefal Grtstkopjttr of the
West-tbat dreaded pest that has, during the
last few years, destroyed entire growing
crops, reducing the people to the point of
famine. They are now in the first and
comparatively helpless stage of their ex
istence.
They wifi grow rapidly and in the course
a few weeks they will be able to fly.—
They will then deposit eggs in the earth by
millions. Next year these eggs will hatch
and there will be millions where there are
now only dozens.
You arc earnestly advised to destroy
them cow, before they can fly, and before
their eggs are deposited.
They can be driven in to piles of dry
straw and burned.
Thousands may be destroyed by active
men and boys with brush.
Nets may be made similar to patrtdge
nets, of some cheap material, with widely
extended wings. The insects can be
driven like birds into these nets or snares
and destroyed.
By every means in your power, and
that can be devised by your ingenuity,
utterly exterminate them and save our
State from n plague, such as we have
never experienced.
I respectfully suggest that you lay all
other business aside, unite together and
makj common cause and combined attack
against Ihc enemy.
By concert of action, and immediate,
persistent, efforts, the evil may be averted.
You are respectfully invited to send to
Ibis Department, nil valuable facts as learn
ed from your observation and experience
in relation to the grasshoppers, Ihc extent
of damage, what means of destruction
found to be most effective, etc.
Very respectfully,

It is said that seven men
arc charged with murder in the first

We arc glad to see indications that

assisted by some ill advised southern

We see it hinted by some of our ex

Agreeable to previous appoint
ment, the Union Meeting of the
churches in this District of the Pow
er Association was held with the
Baptist Church in this place, during
the three days ending with last Sab
bath. There was a full attendance
of ministers and delegates, and the
session was most harmoniously
teresting.
Rev. J. L. Underwood, having
been unable to reach here on Fri
day, preached the introductory Ser
mon on Saturday and again dis
coursed with great power on Sun
day.
Rev. AY. H. Ho"gard filled the
pulpit on Friday night, Rev. Joshua
Martin on Saturday night and Rev.
E. F. Richter on Sabbath night,
each dispensing the word of sacred
truth iu a manner worthy of tlieir
exalted station.
Among others present, we recog
nized Rev. J. McAfee, Jl/odcrator of
the Meeting, and Rev. Messrs. Par
ker, Hurst and Taylor. Notwith
standing the fact that church aj>-
pointments and other official duties
compelled the return of the minis
ters to their homes, at the close of
tlic regular session, the meeting was
protracted until Tuesday night, un
der the ministerial care of Rev. AV.
0. Hoggard, who was prevailed up
on to make sacrifices, as far as he
consistently could, for that purpose.
This pious and zealous man lalxired
faithfully, up to the last moment,
preaching twice each day; and when
evidently to the regretof all, the
end came, the deep state of feeling
manifested bore witness to the fact
that his devoted efforts have uot
been in vain.
On Sunday bust, we enjoyed the
pleasure of meeting our highly es
teemed Thomasville friends, Judge
H. AV. Hopkins and his amiable la
dy, Miss Mattie C. Seward, Messrs.
F. X. Lohnstein, J—Milieu and
Capt. A. J. Love, all of whom spent
tlic day in our little village. We
hope all of them found their visit
pleasant and that they will not let
this be the last time they call.
AYe had laid off to tell Dixon’s
tale about CoL AIcI. aud liis Bar
nett’s creek rice, this week, but
weakness of eyes prevents. It is
too good to keep, however, aud we
intend to let her slide next week, if
it salivates us.
AYe respectfully and earnestly di
rect the attention of our readers to
the call of the Central Democratic
Executive Committee, published in
this paper. Men of the 17th and
18th, your dial interest its at stake
and you must to icorir at once. AYe
suggest that the Executive commit
tees of the two Districts, or their
Chairmen, meet iu Cairo, next Mon
day. and call a meeting of the whole
section, at some central point, for
the following Saturday; let them
sec to it that the notice* is duly giv
en to all, by posters and runners
aud through the Enterprise: und,
theu, if the people will not act, the
skirts of the committee will be dear.
But, if this course be adopted,
the citizens generally will uot fail to
respond and we shall go to the
Mass Meeting on the 10th inst. uni
ted and firm, with a definite and fix
ed purpose in view. This is the on
ly way to secure uuanimitv of
