The Chronicle t Sentinel, of to-day, tho 10th
in«t., brings tlie sad intelligence of tho death of
Judge Linton Stephens. It aays :
“Wo are pained to learn that the Hon. Judge
Linton Stephens died at his residence, in Sparta,
(In., on Sunday afternoon, at. 5 o'clock, after a
brief lmt painful illness of a few days. Tho
sudden and unexpected cluath of thin really good
and great man will aadden tho heart* of bin many
friend* throughout, tho State, and patriot* every
where will mourn the lona of one whoso hive of
country waa without taint, and whose course in the
support of truth ami justice was never awed by
power or swayed by the flcklo whim of tho popu
lace.
Judge Stephens Was, We suppose, about fifty of
fifty-five years of age. For many years lie was a
member of the State Legislature, in which body lie
Was always a loading and inllucutial member. He
Was apiaiiuted by Governor Brown in 1859 to a
seat on tho Supremo Bench of the State, but after
the expiration of his term declined a re-appoint
luout, and returned to the practice of the law.
********
Since the war, Judge Stephens has boon foro
most in tho ranks of those who have resisted tho
encroachment* of tho Federal Government upon
the rights of the Stales, and in his own person woh
made to feel the vengoance of tho present military
government at Washington against those in the
South who dared to maintain their right* and pre
serve a pure ballot.
Wo regret that the lateness of the hour at which
wo write, and the want of fuller information pre
vent us from giving to our readers a more worthy
sketch of this truly estimable gentleman. Wo tniHt
that from nblor and better informed pens wo shall
liavo a notice of the life and servioes of Judge
Stephens, more worthy of the subject and more ac
ceptable to his hosts of friends and admirers.

rttnnatl Platform.
The Savannah Morning News thus comments on
the ninth lerelutiou of the Cincinnati Platform :
“Theninih res lotion of the Cincinnati Platform, in
common with the others, was read before the Drum,
cratlc Convention in Baltimore, and a largo majority
of the Southern delegates voted fir i\ The resolu
tion la In these words:
We remember with gratitude the heroism end
sacrifice! of the sotdlera and suitor* of tho Republic,
and no act of ours shall ever detraot from their justly
earned fame uu the fall toward of their patriotism.
And this waa voted for amid sh tils of enthusiasm
and burn's of itmsie, by the Southern delegates,
with a few notable exception*. There was no
thought there of the tagged half-starved veterans
who, with tho rare simplicity of perfect »n!or, fol
lowed Roherl E boo to Appomattox. Tliore was no
thought there of the grim martyrs who breasted tho
sultry thqtidor of Gettysburg; who followed Stone
wall ihreugli the Valloy of Virginia, and through
the Velley of the Shadow of Death ; who gavo up
•hoir lives in (ho sweltering luals of tho gnngreuo
summer* around Richmond; who faced the sleet,
and tho hail, and the suow. No, no. There was no
thought there for them ‘‘We remember with grati
tude the heroism and aaciille* of the soldiers of tho
Republic.” With gratitude 1 We must bo excused.
Wo can n-ither support Mr. Greeley nor endorse
his platform ”
Yes, we repeat, remember with gratitude! ‘ Grat
itude” for what? Gratitude for the so-called hero
ism of hired surfs, coworth, plunderers and thieves,
In the binguage of our cutcinporary wo must bo
excused. Others can do as they like end we will
not presume to quest ion their motives, but for our
pail we had rattier suffer defeat a thousand times,

Baltimore, July 10. -The delegates were gene
rally in their scat* by 10 o'clock.
At a quarter after 10 o'clock. Chairman Doolittle
announced that the hour to which tho Convention
adjourned lut-l arrived, and called the Convention to
order. He called upon the Rev. Dr. Leyburn, of
Baltimore, who addressed the Throne of Grace.
Burr, of Connecticut , announced that tho Com
mittee on Resolutions was ready to repo t. He
came to the platform, and at his request, Reading
Clerk Berrin reatl tho report, recommending the
adoption of tho resolutions already adopted by the
Liberal Republican Convention at Cincinnati.—
[Cheers, j In order that there should bo no mis
representation to tho resolutions, Burr called
for their reading in full to tho Convention, which
was done—each plank in tho platform being re
ceived with applause. The ouo term plank was
especially well received.
A call for threo cheers at tho close elicited a par
tial response.
Burr explained that the resolutions were the Ciu -
cinnati platform exactly--nothing added, nothing
excluded. This platform was adopted in the com
mittee by all the States, except Delaware Missis
sippi, Georgia and Oregon.
He moved the adoption of the report, and mov
ed the previous question,
Bayard, of Delaware, inquired whether tho pre
vious question, another name for the gag law, had
become the law of the Democratic Convention.
Without notice to the delegate’s question, the
Chair said the Convention had adopted the rules of
the House of Representatives, so that the motion
of Burr was in order and not open to debate.
Various gentlemen appealed for a withdrawal of
tie motion, in order to allow a short debate.
Burr said he felt compelled to decline.
A scene of great confusion ensued, amid calls of
“question," "debate," Ac.
On a motion to sustain the previ-ms question,
the call of the States was ordered, and, being ta
ken, resulted in yeas, 553 ; nays, 176.
Hoffman, in casting the united vote of New
York in the affirmative, said some of the delegates,
himself among the number, were opposed to the
previous question.
Hanck, of Ohio, denied the right of his delega
tion to cast the vote as a unit, and ask to have his
vote recorded—No.
The Chair announced that Burr, of Connecticut,
was now entitled to one hour to debate the resolu
tions. Also, that the gentleman from Delaware,
(Bayard) Appealed for ten minutes.
Burr conceded this request, as Bayard is a mem
ber of the Committee on Resolutions.
Bayard took tho platform, saying tliat while there
was no disposition to carp at and oppose men be
cause of former political oppinions, ho hoped tho
great Democratic organization would be allowed to
have independent expression of its own honest
sentiments. [Cheers.] Why take, cut and
dried, the resolutions of another organization ?
[Applause.] Why havo the opinions of other men
not chosen by us, forced down our throats as our
expression ? It is proposed here that wc shall go
before the country for the first time without our
own independent expression of principles. It is
not just or wise to ask us to go into this campaign
under the clothing of a minority. [Calls of “time,”
“time.”]
Tho Chair announced that Burr, out of rospoct
to tlie minority, consented to give Bayard ten min
utes more.
Another Connecticut delegate objected to any
man occupying the time of the Convention in this
way. [Applause and hisses.]
The Chair called to order, and reminded the del
egates that this was a deliberative assemblage, and
urged a respectful hearing of any one who occu
pied tho floor, whether they approved his senti
ments or not.
Bayard finally festlutod, arguing tlie necessity
for sonic expression of opinion upon the great is
sues of the dayi and in conclusion protested against
tlie ponding motion to adopt tho report as a whole,
and asked a separate vote on tho several distinct
propositions pending.
OVounor, of Houth Carolina, regretted that
there should have been any difference of opinion
here. All other issues should be merged into tho
single one of defeating tho re-election of tlie pres
ent national administration. Ho said tho recon
struction acts, and tho 13th, 1 Itli and 15th amend
ments to tho Constitution hud boon aooepted,—
Public opinion was higher than governments, and
superior to any declarations by conventions. [Ap
plause.] There was nothing left as an issuo now
but to save tho nation from destruction by cor
ruption. He reviewed and criticisod tho foreign
policy of tho Administration, and urged tho union
of tho whole nation to defeat tho unhallowed pur
poses and shiftless policy of the present Govern
ment. [An allusion to tho proHpoctivo election of
Greeley was received with grout applause.] As to
tho 15th amendment, he would be the last man to
attempt to rest from tho four million of freedinen
tho right of suffrage. [Great applause.]
Oil ordering the nays on the previous question
upon tho adoption of tho report of the Committee,
tho vote was—ls 9.
Nays on the adoption of the report—6B.
ltosult of tho ballot—For Oreeloy, GB6 ; Bayard,
15 ; Black, 21; Grorsebeek, 2.
Further debate was had. Judge Reagan, of
Texas, followed. Ho said it tvas supposed among tho
people that the Democratic party could succeed at
this oloetion with a distinct Democratic party.—
Therefore they hail come here to unite with our
brethren from tho whole country in effecting such
an arrangement as will uuito the Democrats with
all honest opponents of the Administration. It was
wisdom, therefore, to take tho Cincinnati platform.
Why refuse to accept tho situation and make tho
best of it ?
Barksdale, of Mississipi, asked if it was admissi
ble to take a separate voto on each resolution.
The Chair answered, “no, as tho previous ques
tion lias been ordered."
Barksdale—Then I ask tho unanimous consent
of the Convention to a division of tho voto. [Cries
of “no,” “no.”]
Moßca, of Tennessee, made frantic efforts to ob
tain possession of tho floor, anti was finally recog
nized by tho Chair, and proceeded with an excited
protest against tho cutting off of debate. [Cries of
“sit down," “call the roll,” “call the roll.”]
Tho roll of the States was called oil tho main
quostion—the adoption of tho platform—which
resulted in yeas, 602 ; nays, 70.
At tho close of tho call, when Delaware voted
“no,” there were loud hisses.
The Chair appealed to tlie Convention to
treat with respect the vote of any and every State.
Delegates would aid the disturbance which was in
tho galleries.
Before the vote was announced, permission was
asked l\y tho Chairman of the Alabama delegation
to make on explanation of the change which he
desired to make in the record of Alabama’s vote.
Objection being made, the Chair ruled that
while Alabama had tho right to change tlie vote, he
could not maintain it. t übsequently, unanimous
consent being accorded, Shorter, of Alabama, took
two minutes to explain that there were in the
pending resolutions some statements, rather than
declarations of principle, which some of his dele
gation could not endorse without explanation and
without stultification. Having said this, he chang
ed Alabama's vote from 12 ayes and 8 nays, to 20
ayos. [Cheers.]
Hoffman, of New York, presented a petition of
15,000 Germans of the city of New York, relative
to a nomination of a candidate for President. It
was sent to the desk, where it was read by the Sec
retary. It recommends the nomination of Greeley
and Brown, and expresses the belief that they will
receive the hearty support of the Germans, regard
less of past party affiliations, as tlie best nomina
tions that can be made. [Cheers.]
Ray, of Indiana, offered an amendment, provid.
ing that on the calling of each State, its Chairman
shall state hmv the delegation votes, and his state
ment alone shall bo taken.
The amendment was accepted by the mover of
the original resolution, and die latter adopted viva
voce.
Suowhook, of Iltinoise. presented tlie name of
Horace Greeley as the Democratic candidate for
President [Cheers. ]
On tlie roll being called on tlie Presidential nom
ination, each vote for Greeley was received with
cheers. The ballot resulted : Greeley, 686 : Jas.
A. Bayard, 15; J. S. Blnek, 21; Groesbeek, 2.
j When Hoffman rose to cast the vote of New
I York, her delegation was greeted with three cheers,
I Order lieing restored, Hoffman disputed Missou
; ri's promise to give Greeley the largest majority of
; any State in the Union, and said New York’s ma
jority would be larger than Missouri's total vote,
j Ac. [Great cheers.]
After the Chair had announced the result of the
ballot, Wallace, of Pennsylvania took the platform,
he was received with prolonged checra, and ad
dressed the Convention, advocating a submission
to public sentiment. In conclusion, by instruc
tions of his delegation, he moved that the nomina
tion be made unanimous. [Wild cheers and mu
sic. “Battle Cry of Freedom,” lowed by “Hail
to the Chief.”]
When the music ceased, a scene was lowered
at the back of the stage presenting a view of tho
White House. [Applause.]
Order being restored, the motion of Wallace,
thut the nomination be made unanimous, was put
and carried with one or two dissenting only.
The roll was called on the nomination for Vice
President.
On motion of Chalmers, of Mississippi, the nom
nation was made unanimous.
Rouck, of Wisconsin, moved a resolution ap
pointing a Committe • of one from each State to bo
named by the respective delegations, to apprize
tho candidates of their nominations.
Payne, of Ohio, moved to amend by adding the
tho President of the Convention, to bo Chairman
Agreed to.
On motion of Heaton, of Ohio, a resolution was
adopted that on the adjournment of the Conven
tion would, with music, escort the New York [and
Missouri delegations to their quarters,
A resolution’was adopted leaving the place of the

A. Word ot Caution to tho l’oo
pic.
Editors Constitution: Strange news has
been received here from the surround
ing counties. It is known that emissa
ries have been at wort for the last
three months trying to manipulate the
county delegations in tho interest of
Mr. John H. James, but the ticks by
which his friends hope to pac/c tho con
vention have become known only with
in the past few days.
A part of the plan of operation is to
interest a few active partisans in each
county, who shall call small meetings
in back offices-,i or some thfin'-fhe
usual places of holding public assem
blages, and have delegates appointed
who are favorable to Mr. James’ aspi
rations. Some of these emissaries, it
is said havo been traveling about the
country as insurance agents, or to sell
books, etc. In this way the people are
to be ignored and a snap judgment
taken in favor of a man who quit his
countty during the war to engage in
the blockade business and in specula
ting on the necessities of our half-naked
soldiers and famishing women and chil
dren, while James M. Smith was gal
lantly leading his heroic regiment in
the defense of our homes—our all.—
Contrast, Georgians, the positions of
the two men at that time, and render
your verdict.
Another part of the plan pursued by
these people is to represent Gov. Smith
in some places as opposed to the grand
projected canal, the State Road lease,
the giving of State aid to railroads
really entitled to it, etc. And in other
places to represent him as in favor of
all of these. In judicial circuits where
thero are several applicants for tho ap
pointment of Judge and Solicitor, a
report is started that the Governor has
announced his determination to appoint
this, or that man, generally the most
unpopular one. This is done to offend
all the others. So with candidates for
for Congress and the State Legislature.
A few weeks ago Governor Smith de
sired to visit New York to negotiate a
loan for tho State, but- finding the
pres 9 of business such, that he could
not leave, he prevailed upon ex-Gov
ernor Jenkins, a man of eminent char
acter and ability to undertake the ne
gotiation, and fourthwith it is charged
that a broken down politician had to
be employed at a heavy expense to dis
charge tins simple duty. The truth is,
however, as I learn upon inquiry, that
Mr. Jenkins did not charge one cent
for his services, whereas, one Henry
Clews who, like Mr. James, is a bond
monger and note shaver, charged the
State §130,000 for negotiating a cer
tain loan for his friend Bullock.
And this reminds me Jto ask are not
all of Bulloc&’s and clews’ friends in
favor of James?
It is also a part of the
that if the emissaries who have been,
and are now, so zealously at work,
that if a James delegation is brought
up from their couuties, and that James
is nominated and elected they can have
anything that they want.
Let the people be on their guard,
and attend all public meetings, and see
that safe aud responsible delegates are
appointed to the convention. I have
but two words to siy in reply to ‘Tax
Payer,’ and they are these :
1. Mr. James has been hard at work
for months, personally soliciting the
support of the people, like a constable
at a district meeting; yet his Iriends
complain that the Executive Com
mittee called the convention premature
ly-
2. Mr, James’ friends threw the first
stone. They have been misrepresent
ing and abusing Gov. Smith publicly
and privately from one end of the State
to the other, and they need not be sur
prised if their man should catch a blow
now and then, Wibe Grass.
Brutal Murder by rocs'
Upon Friday night last, a tragedy
more horrible in its details than ever
occurred in this vicinity was enacted at
Howel Station, in Ran&in county, seven
miles east of this place. The details, as
-we learn them, are as follows: After
dark, upon the night above named, as
the negroes belonging to the Howel
Station (Vicksburg and Meridean Rail
road) section gang, were loafing around
the depot at that place, there came to
the crowd an aged colored man, who
had recently been employed on fone of
the adjoining plantations, but was then
idle, and expressed himself as looking
for work. In his conversation with the
hands lie remarked that he could cure
the bice of a snake and had antidotes for
poison. The cry was raised by the ne
groes, ‘he is a voodoo conjurer,’ ‘search
him,’ ‘search him.’ Which was no
sooner said than done. They found a
few harmless herbs and roots in the old
man’s poc&ct, which confirmed their
suspicions, and they took this old man
of eighty years, tied him hard and fast
to the railroad track, and began beat
ing him- ‘Kill him !’ ‘kill him !’ cried
the infernal crowd, and the lash came
harder and faster ; he screamed with
agony, and making a last desperate ef
fort writhed himself almost out of the
bonds into a fire of pine knots lying by
the track, but that effort was his last,
for the lire burned his shirt and scorch
ed his skin and he madejno noise. ‘See!
he is a conjurer,’ they said, and again
the lash came down: they cotinued
this for some time longer, and left him.
The next morning he was found twenty
yards from the track stone dead.—
Whether he was able to drag himself to
the spot or was dragged there by his
murders it is not known, but the pre
sumption is the latter. The murderers
have been arrested and confined in jail
at Brandon. —Jackson (Miss.) Clarion ~d,
