®lie J-WcXjuffie gatmial H. C. HONEY, EDITOR AND rKOI’RIETOK. Wednesday September 18, 1872, IVulioiml Dumonratic Ticl«;t. FOR PRESIDENT: HORACE GREELEY, OF NEW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: B. GRATZ BROWN, OF MISSOUUI. Ntato Oomocratlc T«'l<ct. FOR GOVERNOR: HON-JAMES M. SMITH, OF MUSCOGEE. FOR CONGRESS, Brn DISTRICT : GENERAL A. R. WRIGT, OF RICHMOND. Oon. A. 11. VVritflit. Wo hoißt at our nioftt head to-day, the immo of Gen. A. It. Wright, for Congress, The people, ap preciating hi* high qualification*, pant aervicea, and stern devotion to hi* party, nominated him in Convention, on Thurwday last for the high and re sponsible position of Representative to Congress from this, the Bth, Congressional District. Wo venture to say that no man of the eighth District ift better qualified, or is more deserving of public favor than this distinguished son of Geor gia. The honorable title ho now bears was won amidst the clash of arms and the smoko of battle in the cause of his country’s rights and lil>ertioß. We remember with pride, in the dark period of our history, when wo followed him on many a long and weary tramp ov< r the nigged hills and across tho deep vallies of old Virginia. Wo trusted him then when our life was in. his hands we can see no reason why we should not trust him still. A hero and patriot in War, lie is tho satno hero and patriot in Peace. If elected, wo believe ho will guard the interest of liis people with a watch ful care, and defend their rights with all that ability which Ims made him a tower of strength cm tho ramparts of Liberty. Lot the peoplo turn out on masse on the day of the election, and poll for him their full strength, showing to the Radicals, by giving General Wright a rousing majority, that the love of liberty and right yot burns brightly in the hearts of our people. Tlio Klootion In Near. Only two weeks from to-day is the election for Governor and Representatives to tho Legislature. Dawson A. Walker, the Radical candidate for Govornor, has taken the stump, and is daily har ranguing the people with the hope of securing liis election. Amos T. Akerman, the great Ku-Klux persecutor, has also a long list, of appointments to address tho peoplo in the interest of Walker and his party. Tho Radical party in Georgia though in the minority, is nevertholess well organized, and its supporters are making a desperate struggle to regain their lost power. If Walker should be elected, wo can expect, nothing less than a rehear sal of Bullock’s corrupt and disgraceful adminis tration. As wo huvo said before, wo again say thnt.it is high time that tho friends of Smith -—the friends of civil liberty and honest govern ment were at work. Walker is a formidabe com petitor, and is cnpable of uniting and bringing to bear all the bad elements of his party; therefore, unless the people muster the full strength of tho Democracy at tho polls, his election will bo sure. Democrats, arise ! Shake off your lethargy! Awake to your duty. Smith must be elected, or we may prepare to suffer again nil the horrors of the past! A KomurUnblo C'oln<ddouoo in IliNtory Sii*nn«ro if In our issue of the 28th of August, we gavo a short synopsis of a speech delivered in this place by the II in. .T. I). Mathews, of Lexington, Ga. Wo find in tho Augusta Chronicle A Sentiuel, of tho 12th inst., n communication to that paper report ing a political meeting held in Glasnoock county, in which, with one or two exceptions, onr language appears YEunvmt et literatim. Ah thin striking instance illustrates tho fact that it is not wholly impossible for men to think alike, but oven possible for persons wide apart to use the same war Is, we give extracts from the two reports, precisely as they may bo soon in the Mc- Dufllo Journal and in tho Chronicle A Seotinol of the dates above mentioned: [from THF MCDUFFIE JOURNAL, AUO. 28.] Tending the meeting, Col. J. I). Mathews, of Lexington, On., a candidate for nomination to Congress from this district, addressed the peoplo on the political issues of the day. He opened his remarks by paying a beautiful tribute to Georgia, that he loved her in the future ns he had in the past. As to tho present political Condition of the oounry, ho considered it not an abandonment of principle, as some did to vote for Mr. Greeley, lmt a mere question of policy, and that a difference of opinion did not necessitate a change of principle. He urged the Straitont Dem ocrats to abandon prejudice, to join with their friends in the overthrow of tho Grant dynasty —and that they were not departing from Jef fersonian doctrine by easting their votes for Gree ley. As to Mr. Greeley betraying the Democratic party in case of his election, he argued the improb ability of the same, by giving forcible illustrations to show that such would not occur, and contended in an able manner that no President could conduct a government without a party. Greeley, he said, represented the Democratic party. Grant the old, orrupt wing of the lvepubli cans, which party had by legislation reduced our State to bankruptcy, and were endeavoring to de stroy the government of our fathers. Col. Math ews speech was well received, and was warmly ap plauded by our people. His reasons for support ing Greeley were the best we have hoard, and were no doubt instrumental in strengthening his sup port in our midst. At the concision of Col. Mathew’s speech,Gen. A. It. Wright was loudly called for, but declined to speak, as he had on a former occasion appeared before our people, and expressed 1-is’views on the situation, look upon that picture, and then on this. [from the chronicle ane sentinel, sept. sth.] J’UJiljng the mooting, tho’ Kev. John J. Hvman. presiding Chairman, on vacating his seat, gave a brief but eloquent address to the meeting. He opened his remarks by paying a beautiful tribute to Georgia—that he loved her in the f ature as well as he did in the past; also tendering his many thank* to the members of the Democratic Club and citizens of the county for the many honors they had conferred upon him. He spoke of the dark cloud that had overshadowed onr political horizon in the last Presidential campaign, and while we, as a people of the State, were exercising some of the prominent principles of freedom which were due us as a political party, by onr own unwearied labors in the struggle for liberty, yet we had still a great battle to fight, and that was the contest between Grant and Greeley, He considered it not an abandonment af principles, as some of the Straight-out Democrats did, to vote for Horace Greeley, but a mere question of policy, and that a difference of opinion did not necessitate achange of principles. He urged the Straight-out Democrats to abandon prejndioc, to join in with their friends in tho overthrow of the Grant dynasty, and that they were not departing from “Jeffersonian doc trine” by casting thier votes for Horace Greeley. As to Mr. Greeley's betraying the Democratic par ty, in case of his election, he argued the improba bility of the same, by giving forcible illustrations to show thut such would not occur, and contend ing in an able manner that no President conld con duct a government without a party. Greeley, he said represented the Democratic party, Grant the old corrupt xving of the Republicans, which by party legislation had reduced onr State to bank ruptcy, and were eddeavoring to destroy the gov ernment of our fathers. Mr. Hyman was well received, and warmly ap plauded by our peoplo. His reasons for support ing Oreeloy were good, or the best wo havo heard, and no doubt instrumental in strengthening his support in our midst. «*»** * * »• Kev. John J. Hvman, Chairman. David D. G. Allen, Secretary. Tito Miiiite Klee i ion. As we ventured to conjecture yester day the Maine election resulted in a Radical majority of somewhere near 15,000, a loss of several thousand since the election in 1868. This majority is a heavier one th in in the last election, but simply because that vote was a smaller one. The majority is not pro portionately heavier, and appears to he proportionately less. It has given the Radicals a chance to brag that the first elections came off’ in Radical strongholds with such immense majorities, and so inveterate a political bias, that no changes of importance were to he expected. These elections are, therefore, no criterion of the result in localities more evenly divided, and where everything is as favorable to Lib eral proselytism as Maine and Vermont tire unfavorable. Still the result, in these small hide bound, Radical-to-the core States, show Radicul loss, of over (5,000 in Vermont, and semewhero near 4,000 in Maine on the campaign of 18(58. A similar loss everywhere will give Greeley the vic tory. These States are so sure for Grant that any calculations based on their ac tion are groundless, viz: lowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missis sippi, South Carolina and Vermont. They vote <>S electoral votes. The States pretty sure for Greeley are Alabama, Deleware, Florida, Geor gia, Kentucky, New York, Maryland, Missouri. Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, voting 134 votes. The following are more likely for Greeley than Grant, Arkansas, Con necticut, Indiana, Nevada, New Hamp shire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, voting 73 votes. These are more likely for Grant than Greeley, California, Illinois, Louisiana, Oregon, Rhode Island, voting 42 votes. These are uncertain, Maine, lowa, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Wis consin—voting 50 votes. Grant’s sure and probable States give -110 votes ; Greeley 207 ; necessary to choice 184. Thirteen votes more than necessary give Greeley the e'ection, while Grant needs 74. The chances are all in favor of Gree ley. With a united Democracy his election is certain. —Atlanta Constitution- Tho Tlu-oo Km|)orors. Berlin is having a high old time the meeting of the three Emperors. William of Germany is 75 years o'd, and rules forty millions of people. He is a tough, fine old stick, whose triumph over France has made him a demi-god to his people. Ills son, Frederick Wil liam, aged 41, will succeed him. Francis Joseph of Austria is 42 years old, and rules thirty-six millions of peo ple. His territory is larger than Em peror William’s including 240,351 suare miles, while Germany has only 211,459 square miles, liis army is not so large, lie has only 820,811 men, while Kaiser William has 1,261,051 iiTen. Francis Joseph has not thepres tige of old William, and his empire is much more loosely organized and weak ly held in hand. Alexander of Russia is 54 years old, and the big cock of this imperial walk as to power. He only rules eighty three millions of folks, and owns over eight million square miles of dirt. Mis farm could gulp William’s and Francis’ several times over. Let us hope these three collossal depositories ot power will go it mildly. They could get up a tearing combob beration if they wanted to. They could put two hundred millions of people by the ears in a rollicking loggerheads. We hope they will keep cool, and go it, as the Irishman said ‘aisy.’ BY TELEGRAPH. Louisville, Xy., September 12.

Early the- mrlt morning three men entered a saloon on Sth Av enue and left a bundle which proved to be a bloody shirt. On investigation it was found that a woman up town had washed this shirt, which was a peculiar one, for a man now in the Connecticut Sate prison, and who was a pal of Forrester’s. The sporting man above referred to identified at once a picture of Forrester as that of the man he saw in the vicinity of Nathan's house. On Wednesday next Geo. Ellis, now con fined in the State prison at Sing Sing, will be brought hero and will testify that the ‘dog’ which was used in mur dering Mr. Nathan was stolen from Schenck’s house by Forrester and him self, and that both used it in various burglaries. JFashington, Sep7 TfT—A telegram has been received at the State Dep’t., from Hon. Bancroft Davis, agent- of the United States, which states that the text of the award of the arbitratots at Geneva, has been publicly announced there. The United States received the gross sum of fifteen and a half million dollars for losses resulting from the acts of the Alabama, the Florida and the Shenadoah after leaving Melbourne. It will be recollected that by the terms of the treaty the award is paya ble in gold at Washington, within one year from the date of the award. New York, Sept. 14.—Judge Leon ard, to-day, dismissed the writ of habe as corpus and remanded Forrester, the alleged Nathan murderer, to jail. San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 14, — Four additional jurors were obtained to-day in the Fair murder case. The thirty Chinese students, who ar rived yesterday, are very young.

Cotton nucl Provisions. Resolutions adopted at the meeting of the Cobb county Agricultural Socie- j ty —September 3, 1872 ■, Whereas, We have seen what we j believe to be exaggerated statement of I the incoming cotton crop, and in our j judgement made with the purpose to j deceive the producer and induce early ; sales at low figures and thereby trails-! fer the profit of production from the la- j borer to the speculator, whereby every j interest of the cotton section is serious-1 ly injured ; Aid VVhereas, From information ; which vve deem reliable, owing to cat erpillar, boil worm, rust, drought and freshet, each affecting the crop in dif ferent sections, the estimates for June and September made a vast difference in the footing up of the number of J bales and consequent value ; and Whereas, A kind Providence has i blessed the cotton States with abundant j crops of provisions, thus enabling a j large majority of farmers to hold thier j cotton ami sell at will; therefore, be it j Resolved, That we iuvite and urge farmers of this society to investigate closely the questions involved in the foregoing suggestions before disposing of their cotton. Resolved, That we recommend that, the fanners out of the first gathering, j pay every debt incurred in making the I crop at the earliest day possible, as a j well founded credit is the true basis of the farmer’s prosperity ; and control j the remainder in their own interest. Resolved, That we earnestly recorn- j mend the farmers of the state to lay off and prepare their land with reference to the next crop so as to secure a lull supply of provisoes. Resolved, That vse recommend the authorities of the State Agricultural Society to offer premiums for the ensu-1 mg year, in time for the preparation of ] the lands before planting. Resolved, That we respectfully call j the attention of the county societies of j the State to the questions referred to, with the hope that continued effort j and by counseling together the farmers j may promote the general good ol the j Agriculturalist. Resolved, That we ask papers of the State friendly to agriculture to publish these resolutions. N<■ w Advert iaemtmts. PAUL C- HUDSON, Montm ;it ‘Cain, s / ’•=»' ' \ TilfMlSO\, 441.0114.1,1. !
