Toth* Buii-Kwsotom : I am frequently solicit ed to furnish speakers to the respective counties, and the Kx-outive Committee is anxious to do so ami will respond to all suoh calls as lar fti they are able ; but they have not the menus to defray the ex penses of the speaker* desired. Having -no “govern mental fund" at th-ir diapoaa', and no army ofolftce hol.lera open whom they can levy contribution* for eampa'gu purposes, it is suggested, as eminently proper tit it those counties deaii lug speakers should pay their traveling expenses. It will be but a trifl© and great good can be accomplished lit this way, at a very sntall expense. Counties, therefore, desiring speakers will notify the Chairman or Secretary. We want and urge oounty meetings throughout tho Slate. , Titos Haanr-suit, Jn., Chairman. I. W\ Avrattv, Secretary, Paper - please copy Tint laoniesvllle Convoiitlon. By reference to our telegraphic column, it will lie seen that the Loniavillo “Ntraightout" Conven tion has mot and adjourned without placing any candidate in the field. 'Tho refusal of Charles O’Connor to accept the nomination produced a great, deal of oonfutflon, and as he wus tho only choice of that body, the Convention refused to make any other nomination, and adjourned. As to what will now become of tho “Straightout" fover, time alone can only develop. We trust that the movers of tho same will now Join their friends in u manly and determined fight against the pres ent corrupt Administration. I*ol us* Bo up ami Doing. There seems to be a general impression that the Radical party ill Georgia is dead, and that the Dem ocrats party will continue to hold the reins of gov ernment as securely as in Tennesasoe or Kentucky. This is a mistake, and unless a thonreugli organi zation is effected in all the towns and counties of the State, there is a strong probability that after the coming election, many of the offices now held by Democratic inoumbenta will be filled by Radi cals. IVo fear that the intorest of our State poli ties is too much swallowed np in the groat national contest. We owe our first allegiance to Georgia, and oaunot afford another four years of Radica l misrule and corruption. Tho State is now safe, and to still maintain a pure Democratic govern ment, wo must be on the alert, wide awake and prepared to ward off tho intrigues and dovicos of our enemies. Wo have every reason to lieliove that the Radi cal party in tho State is well Organized, and equip ped for the campaign. Already candidates have boon placed in tho field, and it may be confidently expected that they will muster their entire force at the polls. While victory perches on our banners, let us not lie supinely on onr backs and laugh at the feeble ness and insignificant strength of our opponents. — Dawson A. Walker, tho Radical candidate for Gov ernor, is the strongest man of the party in the State. Govomor Smith’s administration is being arraigned by his supporters, and every means brought forward to fire the people against his re election. His action in reference to the College Land Script and many other groundless complaints have furnished capital for political tricksters who are using the same in different parts of the State not without some effect. Guo month ago Govem- Bmtth was tho most popul r candidate for public fa. vor of any man in the St ite, and while his holiest administration has endeared him to tho people, and it is still in their power to re-elect him by a hand some majority, yet wo do verily believe that if the people sit quietly down and bask in Use victory of tho past with tho expectation that it will without any exertion crown them alike in the future, Daw aou A. Walker will be tho next Governor of Geor gia. We give this warning note with the hope of stimulating the people to action. At the last session of tho General Assembly the Election Bill was passed, placing the election of Governor and Representatives to the Legislature on the first Woduc lay in October: therefore, what is done must be done quickly. We urge that it behooves us all to be at our posts of duty, and unite all our energies in sustaining an honest gov ernment. The differences growing out of national polities should not enter into onr State and local canvass. It is far better that we should suffer defeat in the national race than that we ahonld fail to oontroll our home affairs. It is time that prejudices between brethren should cease, and the spirit of sparring and sneering at the views of each other in polities should be frowned down by tho press and the peo jde. We hare no time to fight onr friends and neighbors. Ours is a battle for right and justice, one opposed to corruption and fraud in the body politic. Ergo, let every county in the State be thorough ly organized befor the election, so that when the time arrives we may tie fully prepared, as honest Mann Meeling. In pursuance to a call previously made, quite a number of citizens assembled in the court room j on Saturday afternoon, the 7th inst. I On motion, Judge Jag. B, Neal was called to the chair, and Paul C. Hudson requested to act as sec retary. In a few forcible remarks the Chairman explained the object of the meeting to lie to consid er ind determine whether or not McDuffie, not* notwithstanding the defeat of thg Apportion ment Bill, by the last legislature, giving to McDuffie and the other three new counties one rep resentative each, should in thg coming election for State officers elect a man and send him to the Leg islature, which is to assemble in January next, and let the one elected run the risk of securing his Beat as a member from McDuffie. The House was declared ready for business, whereupon Capt. Win. Johnston introduced the following preamble and resolutions: Whereas, The last General Assembly of the State of Georgia failed to snpply representation for McDuffie in the Ilegislative Department of Gov ernment. And whereas, We consider it gross and unpard onable negligence of duty, and a failure to pay duo regard to the lights, of their fellow citizens resid ing within the territorial limits of this and the other new counties : Therefore, Be it Resolved, That we recognize tho fundamental idea of onr system of government that “there shall lie no Taxation without Represen tation,’’ and that we do now protest against the paying of State taxes until we acquire representa tion in the Geneneral Assembly of onr State. Rosolved, That a committee of five be appoint ed by the Chairman to memorialize His Excellency, the Governor of Georgia, asking him to suspend the collection of State taxes until we are duly en titled to representation in the Legislature. Resolved, That we deem it impolitic in the present state of affairs to elect a member for the next Legislature. On the motion to memorialize the Governor, the Chair appointed tho following tax paying citi izens: Capt. Wm. Johnston, H. C. Roney, Esq., Capt. James R. Wilson, Hon. G. I’. Stovall, and Mr. Wm. Short. Resolved, That tho proceedings of this meeting be sent to the Editor of the McDuffie Journal, with a request to publish the same. All present were unanimously in favor of these sentiments of the above preamble anil resolutions. Tho meeting then adjourned in order. Jah. B. Neat-, Chairman. Paul C. Hudson, Secretary. Tlxo Loulmvlllo Flukpo. Our telegraphic report of tho pro ceedings of the Louisville Straight-out Convention yesterday is provo&ingly meagre and confused. The first dis patch, received at noon, announced that Mr. O’Conor’s positive refusal to accept the nomination for President created a profound sensation, and that alter some rangling and confusion the Convention adjourned without nomina ting any one in Mr. O’Conor’s stead.— From this we inferred that the Conven tion had not adjuorned sine die, but had only ta/cen a recess for dinner and con sultation, to be lollowed by another session, in which the body would bring its patriotic labors to a successful con clusion by supplying thy vacancy* on their ticket. It seems, however, that there was no afternoon session, and that with the desertion of their choseu stan dard bearer the Convention that was to savo the Republic ‘went up’—vanished ‘like the baseless fabric of a dreatn.’— The solemn and lugubrious farewell of the Louisiana delegation was a fitting close to the almost rediculous farce.— VVliat a fall for Blanton Duncan. Well may he exclaim, 'Sic transit gloria mini dx! The conduct of Mr. O’Conor in de clining to accept the nomination unani mously conferred upon him is under the circumstances, inexplicable, and fully justifies the resentment of those who had been lead to believe that he would lend himself to the movement which he had so strongly endorsed and encourag ed. It is idle at this time to speculate as to what is likely to be the elfect of this melancoly failure. The Convention will have served a good purpose if, in disclosing the weakness and folly of its projectors, and the hopelessness of their aims, it shall have convinced the true Democrats of the Union that the only hope of the friends of constitutional government is in a united and zealous support of the nominees of the Cincin nati-Baltimore Conventions. A Flglit Between Cob Illtiti tun Dum-iin and l)r. Kellai- Ai-rival ot Delegnts . Louisville, Sept. 2. —This evening in the Rotunda of the Galt House, Col. Blanton Duncan casually interrupted a conversation between Geh. George A. Custer, who is here to attend the open ing of the Exposition, and Dr. J. M. Ivellar, a prominent physician of this city. A sharp conversation ensued in the course of which Duncan declared that he had been offered half a million by the Greeley party, to break up this Convention. Custar responded that the other party must have offered more. He could prove that Duncan had said the whole thing was a bargaiu and sale, and if he was to be sold, ho would sell to the party that would nay the highest price. Duncan responded that Custar’s in formant was a liar. Dr. Kellar said: ‘I am responsible for the statement,’ and demanded a retraction. Duncan re fused, when Kellar struck him violently in the face. Duncan reeled, but did not fall, catch ing by a chair, with which he attempt ed to strike Dr. Kellar. Several blows passed when the patties were separa ted. The O’Brien delegates, from New York, arrived to-day. This delegation consists of 200 mem bers, Which left the city of New York on Sunday night, on a train of 12 pal ace cars. Twelve of the members rep resent no less than 520,000,000. Al derman Gilsey is one of the delegation. The indications are that the Conven tion will be large and enthusiastic. BY TELEGBAPR Louis villo Convention Ad journed. TVo INomlnatlon In Place of O’Conor. Louisville, September s. —The posi tive refueal of O’Conor to accept the nomination created a profound sensation, but was applauded behind the ropes. The motion to clear the gallery was hissed and withdrawn. The President restored order by refusing to recognize any speaker until all the delegates re sumed their seats. It is the current talk that if O’Conor persists, Adams will take the first place. The squabble is progressing over the Vice Presidency, Mr. Kelly, ol Louisiana, read a communication lying the withdrawal of the Louisiana delegation from the Convention. Mr. Goodlett of Xentuc/cy, offered a resolu tion, in effect, against making any nomi nation. The Convention adjourned without nominating any one in O’Conor’s stea£ New York, September?. —The Penn sylvania Railroad Company has fined $,2-500 in Trenton for blocking the street. A little daughter of General Albert Viele was kidnapped by four ruffians at Lake Mahopao on Thursday, and the horrid affair remains a mystery. Carlisle Penn., September?.—The jury in the case of Dr. Schoppe, on a second trial for poisoning Mrs. Steinecke, of Baltimore, returned a verdict, after being absent fifteen minutes, of not guil ty, and the defendant was promptly lia erated by order of the court.

The village Zeruatz, in the canton of Orisons, was nearly destroyed by fire last night. One hundred and twenty houses, besides as many stables and out buildings were burned. ‘And if Greeley is elected,’ said Con gressman Roberts to a Herald writer, ‘as he doubtless will be. not his strength, but his sensibility, will elect him—his pity, his ready apprehension ot the er ring, the wrecked, the recoverable.— First in mercy for the slave, first in mercy for the ruined South, firsfjMerci ful for the struggling Cuban, the Irish man, the Italiau, Greeley awakens feel ings everywhere, and, the more they harp on this weakness, the more they strengthen him in human nature.’ New AdvertisemonlN.
