DEATH OF sIUTAKItt KEH It.
Washinotom, August 19.—A diaputch
was received hero to-night by the wife of
Dr. Pope, Mr. Kerr's physician, an
nouncing the death of Speaker Kerr, at
Rockbridge Alum Springs, this evening,
at 7j o'clock.
A ousket will be sent from this city to
Itockbndgc Alum Hpringa to-morrow
morning, in which the remains of the
late Speaker will be conveyed to bia late
home, at New Albany, Indiana.
There will be no official ceremonies at
Rockbridge, though it is probable that
several members of Congress will attend
the remains to New Albany. There is a
very general expression of sorrow here
at the sad, though not unexpected news.
THE til, EM I; NTH ATTAIN
MENT.
Our readers are pretty well informed
as to the merits claimed for this new in
vention, if limy rememlaa the articles
which have appeared in this paper, and
the address of Judge Barnes, delivered
in this place several weeks ago. The
following, from the Chronicle and Sen
tinel, of recent date, shows something of
the prnctha' workings of the machine,
and goes far towards verifying our pre
diction that the Olemrats Attachment is
destined to revolutionize the cotton
business at nil early day :
“There was exhibited at the Augusta
Exchange yesterday, a hank of number
twenty cotton, which bus quite an inter
eating history. The cotton from which
the thread is made was In the boll in the
field, near Corinth, Mississippi, nt 9, a
M., a few days ago, ntul at 8, r. m,, the
thread was placed iii the Memphis Ex
obange. The thread was spun by the
Glemeuts Attachment, placed on the or
dinary gin. As the merchant who called
our attention to the thread remarked,
that before many yenrs Held hands will
pick the cotton from the bolls and carry
it home in the shape of u ready-made
shirt.
THE ELECTION H.
There nre so many elections within t he
next six months,' at which our citizens
will be called upon to exercise the elec
tive franchise, that some confusion is
liable to arise, not only as to times, but
the manner prescribed by law for hold
ing these elections. The following com
pilation from the Code of Georgia regu
lates all of them :
The polls are to he opened at 7 o'clock
A. H., and closed at 0 r. m., at the Court
Houses, and are opened at 8, a. tr., and
closed at 3, r. M., iu the districts.
The first Wednesday in October next
the Governor and members of the Legis
lature will be elected.
Tuesday after the first Monday in No
vember uext, mem burs of Congress and
Presidential elec tore will be elected.
The first Wednesday iu January next,
the Ordinaries, Sheriffs, Clerks of the
Superior Courts, Ooronere, County Sur

are to be elected.
The first Saturday in January next

MOUTH CAROLINA.
After so many weary, bloody, dis
graceful years of semi-barbaric suffering
and oppression. South Carolina hits at
last determined to make one grand effort
to break her galliug chains of slavery,
and strike bravely for that form of free
republican government guaranteed by
the Constitution, aud from which a cor
rupt and fauutioal Auiuinistratiou h s so
long debarred her. God grant her
stricken people success in theurdvath
struggle for liberty aud a civilized gov
ernment ; and may Heaven’s bitterest
eerses fall upou the beads of those who
Me striving to rivet her chains aud to
crush sad hold her still deeper in pov
erty and degredntiou!
The Democratic Convention of the
State met in Columbia last week, and
nominated a strong, stmightout, uncom
promising Democratic ticket, with a
personnel aud a platform which, iu
them elves, constitute a tower of truth
end strength iu the cause of the Right,
aud leave no room for concessions to the
demon of Radiol sm.
The following is the State ticket :
For Governor, Gen. Wade Hampton ;
Liowtenaut Governor, W. D. Simpson ;
Stale Treasurer, L. S. Leapkenrt; At
torney-General, James Connor; Corap
trofier-Geneml. Johnson Haygood : Sec-
rets' y of Hi Ac, Vr M. v*jtna; Adjutant!
and Inspector-General, E. VV. Alone*; •
Boperintendeut of Education, Hugh 8
Thompson.
Commenting upon this ticket, the Ma- I
eon Telegraph gays;
Tlie Democrat* in their las' great j
State council at Columbia, have deter
: mined, a* a party, to unfurl the banner ;
;of honest, eonstintional and rational i
j government. The whites of that an- j
! lacky State were widely divided upon |
the policy and prudence of the step, and I
1 the majority in favor of taking it was i
comparatively small; but we think it is
the first step towards u satisfactory solu
tion of their troubles.
Even if beaten in the pending elcc- ’
tiou, they will still have made a he//in- '
uiny and some progress in the gigantic i
task before them ; whereas, a com} ro- !
j inise with the elements of mischief
I would have given no permanent security
j or hope had it even led to a quasi tri
! utnpli. Negro government cm pr mdse
i South Carolina, or anybudy else, noth
; tag but waste, brutality, public disorder
i anil ruin ; and to get rid of it taey have
got to make a square and downright fight
j against it. The whites of all the other
| Southern States have vainly tried the
arts of party compromise, but a compro
mise with such a political element is
imply a sum nder at discretion. The
negro despises the white man who comes
with a confession of weakness.
The local editor of tliii Augusta Con
stitutionalist, who a! tended the Conven
tion at Columbia, predicts the success of
the State ticket, au i said that it was
conceeded by prominent Radicals that
•he Stale Would go for Tilden and Hen
dricks by ten thousand majority. Such
an event as that would crown Democrat
ic felicity. It would make the whole
South a solid phalanx for honest gov
ernment, and purify the last sink of
Radical injustice.
Ihit for the power of the Radicals to
return any majority that may he v anted
from their sea const, country, we should
put full faith in these predictions. We
feel sanguine tlint the South Caro in a is
oan honsetly "in the fight; but New
Africa on the seaboard can send any
kind of returns an emergency may re
quire. However, be this a« it may, the
only way to deal with tin* rampant polit
ical barbarism which oppresses South
Carolina is by squarely combat,t ng it.'
The nomination of Wade Hampton is
glorious. No part ror more aocoiuplu-li
ed gentleman walks the green earth. Ha
is a man of lofty mould; wise, self-con
tained, full of the most patriotic aspirin
rations; aud should the Carolinians
succeed 111 placing him lit the bead of
their State, the day of its redemption
would dawn at once ind brightly.

THE GEORGIA I! AUK Ml S.
IWodnoaday last the remnant of the
so-called Republican party of Georgia
met in convention in Alucon, for the
purpose of selecting a ITesidential elec
toral ticket for the State, ami to take
i into consideration the propriety or nom
inal ng a candidate for Governor. J. E.
Bryant, chairman of the State Executive
Committee, called the. concern to order,
aud Rev. C. 0. Fisher, a negro preacher,
: lead-in prayer. Jesse A. Glenn, of Dal
ton, and T. S. Iving, of Atlanta, were
made, respectively, temporary and after
wards permaueut President and Secreta
ry, for which honors they stated that
they were very much obliged. With the
exception of Bell. Conley, M okh:-.u..
Glenn, Hargrove, Bryant, Prince, Parker
and (Hover, and a few mail agents the
pow-wovr was composed of negroes.
The proceedings were anything but.
harmonious, and were interaper-ed with
those fierce (leraoualities amt btackgard
abuses wb cb usually characterize such
assemblies of combined ignorance, kii
pendition and villisny.
Ben. Cot ley, of the committee on the
expediency of nominating a candidate
for Governor, reported in the affirmative,
which met wiffi much oppposition.
Pledger, colored, of Athens, pitched in
heavy. He said that no decent Repub
lican of ability would accept the nomina
tion, as tl ere was no possible chance for
his election. Harrison, also colored,
joined in with a wild, rambling speech,
I iu which l(e denounced in the bitterest
| terms the Radical leaders and office
| holders, and opposed a nomination,
i Conluy’s report was finally adopted by a
I vote of twelve yeas to four nays. Conley
I then nominated Jonathan Norcross, of
| Fulton, for Governor, who, he said, was
lan old line Whig, and a man who wonld
I canvass the State with Genera l Colquitt.
Pledger nominated Atkins, Colector at
Savannah, and Jeff Long nominated
Akermau. And then they had another
rippit. After much wrangling aud trick
ery the election of Noreross was declared
curried unanimously, although the vote
was three yefts to one nay.
The platform adopted endorses Hayes
j and Wheeler, with the usual meaningless
i platitudes and absurdities of such docu
| incuts.
j On the subject of the platform, a cor-
I respondent of the Savannah News says :
| “A clause opposing the calling of a
j Constitutional Convention created the
biggest kind of a row. Hargrove, in full
war-paint costume, leaped into the arena,
and with a wild glare in his eye aud
thunder in his voice, scalped Bryant as a
“bud man.” Thousands of Republicans
demanded anew constitnt on, and lie
was not afraid to trust Democrats to
make it, as Alabama, Arkansas and
North Carolina had not suffered at tlieir
hands in this matter. Bryant replied
that the Democrats could not be tin fed.
Toombs would put the nigger where be
would not be heard from. Hargrove
replied t hat cx-Goveruor H. V. Johnson
and Hon. A. 11. Stephens would look
out for that. Wyse Parker, of Americas,
endorsed Hargrove's sentiments and de
manded a convention. After a bloody
and fierce combat of words and abuse of
each other. Bryant and Conley got the
best of Hargrove and Parker, with the
niil of the efficient Chairman, iu the vote
on the question, it was taken by dis
tricts and resulted in sixteen y< as and
nine nays. Hargrove then filed a writ
ten protest, signed by his followers, in
favor of a Constitutional Convention
plank in the platform,
Tlie ('otnmitb non Nominations report
ed the following electoral ticket :
State at large, Dawson A Walker and
EC Made; alternates, Jesse A Glenn
nud Rev. C 0 Fisher (col.i; First Dis

Jack Heard (ool,); Ninth District, id R
Archer ; alternate, W A Pledger (col.)”
The w hole affair was a miserable fail
ure. 'The Teleyraph and Messenyee
says:
“The so-called Radical State Conven
tion in this city on Wednesday last may
lie likened unto the stale, mouldy ami
foetid residinm of an old bottle of pepper
sauce, years since exhausted of its sting
and left a prey to dust and decomposition,
on the* back shelf of a lumber closet. Or
perhaps it might he symbolized by oue
of those ancient mustard pots exposed
to sheriff’s sale ns part of the assets of a
defunct oyster saloon- a curious, utifra
grant and unsightly compound of decom
position, dirt and acridity. It couveyed
a faint suggestion of old corrosive power,
but lost in corruption and decay.
Nineteen so-called delegates, not from
counties, but from district", in none of
which a district election or meeting bad
been bold, claimed to represent the State
of Georgia and to select for her a Gover
nor, Representatives iu Congress, and
Electors. Tlie whole concern had not
the moral or equitable power to represent
a cross-road precinct in gum swamps.
And this w as a convention of the Repub’
hcan party of the State of Georgia I It
ought to have been supplemented by a
file of Robeson’s marines to make 'a
showing. It was the last sweepings of
j the Radical corn crib the last crust of a
| mouldy cheese. If we might suggest iu
the premises, we would say : Don't try
it again. Call no more conventions. Let
the thing die out just so.”

AOJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
I,ast Wednesday morning, after tab r
ing all night, the Congress of the United
States adjourned until nt xt December,
j Their acts and doings-will form an iiu
| portant and interesting chapter iu the
! history of the country. In the House,
j for the first time in fifteen years, the
Democrats have had the aseeudeney, slid
; they have used their power most ootu
; meudably in unearthing the gigantic
i frauds and i.haineful corruptions that
| underlie and perineal*, every department
-of the Administration. It is unfortmnito-
I iy true that the President shielded Bab
cock from the just penalties of the
! violated law, and a partisan senate ae
! quitted Belknap, a confessed felon ; but
tlie Democratic House did *ll in their
power to bring these and mauy other
corrupt officials to justice.
In addition to this they have reduced
the annual expenses of the government
nearly forty millions of dollars, and would
have relieved the overburdened tux-pay
ers still further but for the obstinate
interference of the Senate and the Presi
dent. / -'*xa
Before adjournment CougrossSSthor
ized tlie Committee ou printing, and the
Committee on public buildings and
grounds to sit during vacation, a id the
sub-military Committee has authority to
rave t gate the soldiers asylum. The.
Committees on the District of Columbia,
on the reorganization of the army, and
on the silver question will likewise meet
during the summer.
The Atlanta Constitution makes the
following summary of the business of
the session.
• Tlie exact nnraber of bills introduced
during the late session in the house was
4,105, o' joint resolutions 164 ; in the
senate, 1,015 bills and 25 joint ri solntions
—total, 5,150 bills and 189 joint-resolu
tions. Os this number, 140 public acts,
130 private acts, 13 public joint resolu
tions, and 5 private resolutions became
laws. ,
The laws include acts for the adinis
s on of Colorado as a state ; forbidding
the trial ol n person for an offense not
capital, three years after the commission
of the offense ; authorizing the appoint
ment of receivers for national banks ;
providing for the redemption of unused
stumps ; prohibiting the passage of ob
scene matter and lottery circulars through
the mails; appropriating 8200,000 fol
the completion of the Washington mon
ument ; amending the bankrupt law so
that no voluntary assignment in good
faith of all property shall be a bar to a
discharge in bankruptcy; authorizing
the issue of 810,000,000 iu silver coin
for legal tender notes ; prohibiting sup
plies of special metalic cartridges to
hostile Indians ; appropriating #434,000
■to pay claims of loyail ntfttnt ■ for prop
orty t.nl eu during the war; and extending
the time for the redemption of lands
held by the United Statei under acts
levying direct taxes.
Among tlm more important bills
passed by the house this session, but
which go over until uext winter on the
somite's calendar, are the following : The
bounty bill; the sler.mboal bill ; the bill
to ro-oiganize the United States judicia
ry ; repealing the WTfdirnpt law ; for the
furt her distribution of the < tone 'a award ;
to compel the Pacific railroad companies
to create sinking funds for the repayment
ot their indebtedness to the government;
declaring railroad laud grants subject to
state taxation ; providing for the pr -
•action of the Texan frontier. All the
forgoing have been reported from com
mittens favorably, though in some easi a
wit of ameudiu* • _<j*t>eva
award bill, which is still in the hands of
; the judiciary committee, and the Law
. rcuc-e sinking fund lull, which is on the
table awaiting reference to some commit
tee. The judiciary committee aud the
railroad committee have, however, both
rejHirted originals to provide for tin*
creation of Pacific railroad sinking funds
the former measure being more stringent
than the house hill.
The senate calendar also includes bills
establishing an edit atioual fnml from
the proceeds of the public lands : pro
viding for a commission to eonxider“tln
bankrupt ret, and providing for the
counting of the electoral votes. Ail of
these have been favorably reported by
committees, and all are senate bills.
Os bills pending in the house, there
should be mentioned the Bland silver
hill; the post-roads bill •which provides
iof fast mails and restores the fmnkiug
privilege ; the popular education bill ;
several freight railroad bills ; mid a bill
to allow all persons charged w ith crimes
iu federal courts to be competent wit
nesses.”

U 1(‘(1 MON 1> NOMINATIONS.
Wednesday last a nominating conven
tion, com (Si#t*d of delegates from each
ward of tlie city of Augusta, and each
district in the county of Richmond, as
sembled in Augusta, for tlie purpose of
selecting delegates to the Congressional
Convention at this place, September 6th,
and delegates to the Senatorial Conven
tion at Louisville, which meets to-day,
aud also to nominate two. candidates
from the city and one from the couuty
for the Legislature^.
The following delegates wa re elected
by acclimation to the Congressional
Convention at this place :
Goo T Barnes, Joseph Outlaid;* Chas

Wilberforoe Daniel, Cyrus Hudson, J

i This is a capital delegation, every one

j aud last for Mr! Stephens.
I Col. J. 0. C. Black and Hon. Pattrick
, Walsh for the city, and Air. W. IJ. John
ston, for the country, were nominated
j for the I legislature by acclamation, with
only oue dissenting voice.
This is an excellent ticket, and should
j receive, us it doubtless will, the solid

! We have not a personal acquaintance
with Air. Johnston or Col. Block, but
j the hearty endorsement which they re
! ceivcd at this convention is an ample
j recomuiendatiou.
With Col. Walsh wo have been ac
quainted since our first connection with
j the Georgia Press, au i have always
found him a high-toned, generous,
vvhole-sottled gentlemen. We congratu
late him o i his suqousx it; the recent
nomination, and coi.hdet.t'y predict that
be will receive at an early <lay otlier and
higher lionois from an appreciative
constituency.

It seems that there is a universal calm.
We cannot hear anything of entertain
ments of any kind, aud thus you see
we are slid ->nly dropped from a state of
bliss and festivity to enr re*| eetive avo
cations. We have no pleasure ahead to
while away the miserable remnant of
summer except canto meetings and revi
vals, which at present are very numer
ous throughout the whole country. In
deed, this continued
HOT WEATHER
is as trying to a person’s good morals as
his patience, for the fliea, Ac., need more
real “cussing” this summer than ever
before since the days of Adam. I think
this summer is like the one when Thom
son wrote—
“ Thrice happy hewhoou the sunless side
Os a romantic mountain, forest-erown’d,
beneath the whole collected shade re
clines ;
Or in the gelid caverns, woodbine
wrought,
And fresh bedewed with ever sporting
streams,
fsits coolly calm.”
Indeed, it is so oppressive that I some
times wish I was an exile on some bar
ren iceberg, where I could dream of a
vision of angels flitting continually
through the air, and bringing to my
parched lips ice crearn and lemonade.
The latter is a beverage your corres[K>u
deut has indulged in very freely for the
past few weeks, and it is with a feeling
akin to sadness that I bid adieu to lem
onade, pretty girls, big dinners, Ac., to
enter again upon the duties, monotonous
routine of daily life ; hut away with
these petty anm yauces.
INCENDIARISM.
hast Tuesday night, Bth inst., five ne
gro men broke into and set on tire the
store of John M. Callan, of Washington,
(la. All the negroes were arrested and
lodged in jail. One of them, in attempt
ing to escape, was badly wounded, the
ball entering his hack and going half
way round his body.
After the viilinuu had robbed the store
of whatever they wanted they poured
lard and kerosene on the floor and ap
plied i match to it. Fortunately the tire
went out, thereby saving Mr. Callan and
others from serious loss. Mr. Callan’s
store IK situated near the dep t on a nar
row street, and if the negroes had suc
ceeded in (Ix ir villainous plot the whole
town would have been in imminent dan
ger. The wounded man confessed his
part ill the burglary, the others will not
own anything ; hut 1 snpiiose the officers
have sufficient proof to establish their
guilt, and if they were turned over to the
citizens of Washington would he seijt to
"kingdom come” with broken necks.
A preliminary trial was had on the 14th,
hut 1 have not learned the result. Sup
pose they ivefe re Cbmttfttted to jail to
await a trail bv jury at the next term of
the Superior Court.
