Telegraph & Messenger. TilEBSDAY MORNING. NOT. 23. 1671. Ilrmovratlc Mate Convention. Special to Maooo Telegraph and Mcesengor.l Foairra, Ox., November 22.—A Convention of the Democratic party win assemble in At lanta on Wednesday, the Cth day of Deoember next, at 10 o'clock, x. M , to nominate a candi date for Governor. By direction of the State Democratic Execu tive Committee. CurroBD Aronson, Chairman. Tito Fence Question. The farmers ten us we must stir up the Leg islature on the fenoe question—that fenoe tim ber ia getting very aearoe in the old oounUea, and old field pine saplings are perishable and costly fencing material; and lastly that in theae piping days of freedom mauling rails and lay ing fences is far below the dignity of freedmen -, and what ia more they wont do it. This ia bringing things to a orWa very fast. And this crista is all the more alarming because every negro keeps a long nosed runt of a hog who will go through a poor fenoe into your corn field before you can say Jack Robinson; and then, vioe versa, as negro won’t build much of a fence around his own oorn or potatoe patch, or tolerate trespassers in the shspo of white man’s stock, what he does do is to ait in the door of his cabin on hot summer days, gun in hand, and shoot every oow, calf andpig which goes through or Jumps over his shabby inclo sure. This makes it tight times for white men, and white men are therefore clamoring long and loudly for a law to prevent all stock from going at large. But a great many difficulties surround this subject and it seems to us the Georgia Agricul tural Sociolies ought to take it up—study into and digest it, and proaent to the Legislature the sebeme of a stock law wbieh will meet the sit uation. If possible, the interests or eounties devoted to stock raising and of oonnUes whose main business is agricultural must be harmon ised. Borne will say this will be easily done by exempting the former from the operation of a stock law. But then, what shall be done wbero aueb eounties abut—where county lines moot- on one side of which aro large eattlo ranges, and on the other eultivated farms? This is the main trouble to be solved. It is a clear ease that the range in agtioullural eounties ia not worth a Ulhe of the fence expenses, while in the eattlo eounties the fences amount to little or nothing. Meanwhile, the cost of fencing and the d ffi- enlty of keeping it op in the agricultural coun tries is yearly increasing, and the practical value of the rango brooming less, and the neoesaity of some remedy doily growing more urgent. Let the farmers themselves take hold of this matter and embody their views sod wants tbrongh s bill to bo presented to the Legislature. Each eonnty clnb or association might discuss this matter and send ono of their best men to a oommon convention of delogstos, and altogether agree upon a remedy which might be authori tatively pros-sod on the General Assembly. On the importance of the topic, consider tho fol lowing statement, which we find in one of onr exchanges: Borne one bav been approximating the first oaat of all the fences in the Doited States, put ting It at ft ,230,000,000. These most be en tirely renewed every ten years, making the annual cost of fenoes $129,GOO,000. Tho Georgia State Agricultural Society baa al ready recommended the passage of a fenoe law to tho Legislature, hnt they failed io furnish a abemo. ^ The Champion Munster Discovered— lie Four* Kerosene over Mia Wife, Nrln Her on Fire and Itnrns Her to n t’rlsp. A Boston dispatch to the Herald, of Sunday, from Lynn, Maas., aaya that a barber of that etty named John G. Clinton, was arrested Sat urday night, charged with first besting bis wife in a moat shocking manner, and then pouring keroaeno over her and setting her on fire. Sho was literally roasted to death. Her body was still burning when found, and presented a sick ening appearance. There were marks of vio lence on her hood consisting of two or threo cuts, looking as though they had been made with eome dull instrument. Oo her breast were also wounds, wbioh appeared to have been oanaed by something beside the flames. The features were rendered nnreoognizablo, and the hair was burned close to the head, leaving the skull bare and horribly orisped, and black flesh was dropping from her hands, arms and body.

Bxcx.—The Balti more Ban's Washington correspondent under date of Saturday, writes that tlnoo the Repub lican victories in the fall election aomo of the leading members of the party who have visited 'Washington, state that a growing feeling is evl dent that the party ean elect most any one for Preaidcnt, and that tho necessity of renomina ting Grant is no longer discussed. The advo cates of the ono lcrm principle have taken fresh oonrage from them facts, and tho friends of Secretary Boutwcll intend to make his name more prominent, so that it will at least go be fore tho oonvention. Within a day or two some of the “passive Democrats’’ anuonnoo that a movement ia on foot by the conservative Be. pnblioans to nominate Charles Francis Adams or Senator Trnmbnll as a candidate for Preai dcnt DxHocaxTto State Contention.—A telegram from Clifford Anderson, Executive Chairman of the State Democratic Committee, dated at For syth, was received at thia office yesterday even ing about t o’clock.

Referring to tho recent elections in the Southern States, the or- gan says: It will require not levs than tea thousand rec- tdsr troops, judiciously distributed throughout the Southern States, io insure s free sn<l fair election in those Stales in 18*2. It may be necessary that Congress should iaorease the army. Tns Memphis Oonott Taxes —The receipts of cotton at Memphis daring September end October amounted to 8S43 and 33,736 bales, re- respective ly. Thr se exceed those for the oor- reaponding periods last year by over 17,000 bales. These figures look very much aa if Memphis Would get over 600,000 bales thia season, not withstanding the reduetion in the crop.

THE GEORGIA I’ll IAS Hon. Wright Brady, one of tho members of thA/egialatore from Sumter county, is now at his homo quick sick. The Snmlcr Republican folks announce that they are now living on two meals a day, to oon- aequenoe of subscriber* failing to come to time, and are contemplating the prospects of living on one, if the stomps don't eome in. As the almanacs say, now is s good time to start two or three other papers in Americas. The Savxnnnah Republican responds to the Atlanta Sun’s “wonder” whether all tho papers to the State that are opposed to farming out the public printing are interested to it, by remind ing the “wonderer" that it was interested in having the Constitution beaten and the printing given to itself, and thinks the lees the luminary months abont selfishness and selfish motives the bettor. All of which is heartily approved and forwarded. Letters for J. N. Seymour sod B. L. Wil lingham, of Macon, are held for postage to the Savannah office. Mr. Abram Foard, one of the oldest and best citizens of Bildwin eonnty, died last week, aged 81 years.

The Tslbotton American aays a “small skir mish” occurred between the printers in the Standard office last Monday evening, which was investigated by the devil who took a very prom inent part in the row. It lasted only three hours, which was pretty well for a “small skirmish." Mr. Finlay, of Tslbotton, shot and danger ously wounded a negro last Friday morning. The negro had threatened to kill Mr. F. On the question whether Conley ia Governor or Senator, the Chronicle and Senlinol presents this argument: According to tho "moderate” theory of Dem ocracy, Benjamin Conley, President of the Sen ate at ihe time the Executive vacaney occurred, became “Governor,” to hold bis office until hia •ueoeasor shall be elected and qualified. If this be true, clearly Mr. Conley vacated not only his office as President of the Senate, but his Sena torial aoat also; for no man can be Senator and Governor at the same time. The Senatorial seat of the 18th Senatorial District ia, therefore, now vacant, and an election should be held to fill the vacancy. If Mr. Conley is not “Gov ernor” clearly he is not President of the Senate, end be should taka bis seat on the floor of the Senate, representing the people of the district who elected him. Now, which is it? Is Mr. Conley Governor or Senator ? If Governor, be is no longer Senator, and the people of the 18th Diatriot are not repreaonted; nnd if Senator, Ho is not Governor. Mr. W. J. Mims, who was bom and reared at Columbus, and daring the late civil war served as a member of the City L'ghl Guards, died at Montgomery Sunday. His remsins were brought to Columbus nnd buried on Monday. Tho editor of the Columbus Sun, who was on a visit last Friday to Hon. A. H. Stephens, at Crawfordsvillo, thus refer* to it: If some Northern Jenkins had, by ehanco, dropped down on “Liberty Hall,” Friday night, he would have supposed it was a Grand Con vocation of the Grand Cyolops himself, prelim inary to a new rebellion. There was General Toombs, Judge Stephens, Billups, Reed, a son of Judge Reese, and three or fonr other law yers, besides two bloody editors.

Stealing now ia a “dead issue,” accord ing to the old rule, “0 from O and 0 remains.” Politics, however, was scarcely mentioned, and diaenssiona on law and anecdotes made Time fly on feathery pinions. Under the withering wit end keen saraoam of Gen. Toombs, we had at onr feast of reason and flow of soul— “Mirth that wrinkled care derides. And laughter bolding both bis sides.” A portion of the pows of the Bsptist Chnrch at Columbus, were rented on Monday for $1,711 30. There are 100 more yet to bo rented. Tbo highest bid was $150. Five others brought $100 oach. The North and South Railroad has secured the right-of-way for fifteen miles from Rome, at a cost of $2,300. Tho two negro Senators, Wallace, of Milledgo- ville, and Deveaux, of Jones county, were np before the Mayor of Atlanta, Tuesday, on the oharge of drunk and disorderly, firing off pis tols, etc. That tender-hearted functionary let them off with $3 and oosts. Tho local of the Constitution loams that paper is soon to be started to Atlanta under the namo of the “Constitutional Monarchist,” and to be devoted to the advocacy of the doctrines of “Imperialism." Which is, it strikes us, very roundabout way of saying that another Radical paper ia soon to be published. If they don’t all advocate Imperialism, what do they advocate? There are ono hundred and ten lawyers, and seventy-seven licensed bar-rooms in Atlanta. Tho Sun thinks the latter fact explains the former. We learn from the Atlanta Son, of yesterday, that the dwelijng house “of Mr. George Harve), five milee west of Griffin, was entirely destroyed on Monday night—tho family barely escaping with their lives. The fire originated in the ■tore-room, and had got so for nnder way that it was impossible to save even the clothing of the family. The loss amounts to about $2,500.” The Governor—lion. Hiram Warner. Editor* Telegraph and iTcatenger: The General Assembly having passed the election law for Governor to fill the unexpired term of Governor Bollock, and the Democratic party beiog about to be oalled together to con vention to nominate a suitable candidate, al low mo to suggest the Hon. Hiram Warner as the man for the times. In these times of dishonesty, corruption and rings, tbo Governor should bo too honest to be suspected; toe incorruptible to be ap proached by the agent of a ring.-' Such a man is Judge Warner. In these times of daDger, of tyrannical in terference by tho Federal Congress and Gov ernment, it is well to have for onr Chief Exec utive a man influential at Washington. By hia intimate association years ego with Senator Trnmbnll, and that gentleman’s personal knowledge of hia character, Judge Warner is again pre-eminently tho man for the times. In theae times when it is so important to over haul Ihe Exocntive Department and ferret oat its eorrnpt expenditure of the people’s money, one familiar with treeing the subterfuges and windings of crime nnd criminals by a long life as oonnsel and judge, and one not afraid to ex pose crime because it might involve some of the ring of his friends, is “par excellence” the man for Ihe offics of Governor now—and Jadgo Warner ia that man. In these limes when most of the great men of onr State—men whom the State honored when she wxs free—ere disabled from holding office, it is really most refreshing to think that we have one man of the men so honored then who ia eligible, and to whom we can entrust the Chief Exesative < flics non. That man is Judge Warner. In these times when the party and people are divided about men to fill this high office, it is most fortunate that we can find one so far above all others in sge, experience, and fitness for the high position as to oommand tho confi dence and insure the support of all the honest voters of tho State. 8ach a man is Judge War ner.

Too motion was carried and the bill recommitted to the Judiciary Committee. A bill to give to contractors and sub-con tractors a lien on railroads for labor done in the construction thereof, being unfinished business, was taken up, and on morion of Mr. Nunnally recommitted to the Jndciary Committee. A bill to alter and amend section 1035 and 1038 of the Code relating to tho publie printing was, on morion of Mr. Nichols, token np. Mr. Lester moved to substitute a bill to reg ulate and let out to the lowest bidder the publio printing of this State. Mr. Kibbee made the point that the bills did not relate to the same subject matter, and, there fore, one could not be substituted for the other. The President ruled that the bills did not re late to the same subject matter, and that the substitute could be first perfected. Mr. Candler appealed from the decision of the President. Mr. Lester hoped the ruling of the Choir would be sustained. The motion to substitute nnd the appeal were withdrawn. Mr. Lester moved to lav the bill oo the table. The motion was loet. Yeas 13, nays 20. The bill amends the law relating to publie printing, by providing that 750 eopies of the the journals of the Legislature shall be printed instead of 2,000, and by inserting “ that said account is correct and just, and that the prioes paid are not above the customary rules of simi lar work and material, when employed in ser- vice of private parries,” and changes the com pensation from 30 per cent, to 25 per cent. Mr. Nichols moved to strike ont 25 per cent and insert 10 per cent The amendment was loet by ayes 14, nay* 24. Mr. Brown moved to strike ont 25 per oent and insert 15 per oent. Lost by eyes 16, nays 24. Mr. Candler moved to amend the bill by ad- ding to the last section, by striking out “four" and inserting “two,” relating to tho number of thousand copies of the laws that shall be print ed. Lost. Mr. Barnes moved to postpono tho whole matter indefinitely. Lost. Mr. Reese moved to amend by adding to the last section that the public printer shall not print in tho Comptroller General’s report the oondition of insuranoo companies out of tbo State. The amendment was adopted and the bill pamed. A bill to mike it penal to withhold money or property belonging to tho State of Georgia, be ing the special order, was then taken np. On motion a bill to provide a remedy by which money or property stolon or fraudulently de tained from tho State or tho Western and At- Ianlio Railroad may be recovered, and for other purposes, was taken np as a substitute. The bill provides that upon tho information of any citizen the Solicitor General shall file a petition in the Superior Court to recover money or prop erty fraudulently stolen or detained from the State, and that an attachment shall issue tgainBt the property of tho defendant, upon tho oath of the informer that said defendant does detain money or property from the State. ilr. Hillyerpropoaed to strike out the 9 th bbo- tioa, which provides that the informer shall file a bond to indemnify the defendant against all oosts, damages and expenses, provided it shall appear on the trial that such claim or informa tion is false or unfounded, and insert therefor that upon tho defendant making affidavit that, to the best of his knowledge and belief, the in formation is false and nnfonnded, the Judge shall issue en order to show cause why the in former should not give such bond, nnd upon the return of said rule the Judge may require such bond or not in his discretion.- Mr. Candler opposod the amendment. Mr. Brock spoke against tbo amendment. Mr. Hillyer claimed that the seotion as it stands casts an obstruction in the way of the remedy aa entirely destroys it, and tho Courts should not be closed to sneh suits in that way, and that there ia no parallel case in tho law. Mr. Wellborn movod to lay ihe bill on the table. Carried. Tho veto message of tho Governor, ad inte rim, to the bill to provide for a special election to fill the unexpired term of Rufns B.

On motion, the Senate then adjourned House or Representatives.—Tho House met at 9 a. si., Speaker Smith presiding. Prayer by tho chaplain. Tho Journal of yesterday read and approved. Mr. Heidt moved to suspend the rules to take np a resolution that no member shall speak longer than ten minutes on any subject, with out the consent of the House. Motion pre vailed. Mr. Parr moved to insert fifteen instead of ten minutes. Agreed to, and the resolution adopted as amended. The Governor’s message returning tho bill to provide for an election to fill tho nnexpired term of It. B. Bollock without his approvsl, was, ou motion, taken np nnd read. He gives as his chief reason for vetoeing the bill, the argnment that while under the Consti tution the Legislature has power to pass a gen eral law to fill unexpired terms, they have no authority to pass an act to provide for an elec tion to fill a vacancy which oocurred prior to tho passage of the act. Mr. Hassell hoped that tho bill would pass by an overwhelming constitutional majority over the veto. Mr. Bosh favored tho passage of the bill over tho veto. Mr. Jackpon argued againatpassing the bUlovor the Governor’s veto. Ho said Conley is a usur per, and ought not to have been reoognized at first, and the msjority who voted to do so now contradict themselves when they propose to hold an election to fill the office which they recognize that he now holds. It is too late now to pass a law to fill a vacancy wbioh has been filled before this bill becomes a law. If Mr. Jenkins were in Conley’s place would it be attempted to order an election ? If ono conld look into tho hearts of the people it would be seen that they do not want an election held now, for the risks are greater than tho advantages to bo gained. The Federal Congress is on tho eve of assembling, and nearly every State in whiob elections have been held baa gone Republican. Tho Ku.klnx Committees are about to report, and so long as tho colored snd white people are arrayed on op posite sides there will be tronble at the election, and amid all these circumstance* wo are to attempt to inaugurate a Governor with the greatest probability that tho present incumbent will resist hia entrance into the gubernatorial chair. Mr. Jackson said he is a Democrat so long as the party acts rightly, and a Republican so far aa tho Republican party seta rightly. Mr. Bicon said that he wanted to vindicate himself and those who vote for the passage of the bill from any imputation of doing so be cause of a desire of popularity or fear of pop ular opinion. The reasons assigned for the veto are fallacious. The law is clear that the General Assembly may order the election, snd the present incumbent ought not to raise a quibble when he is deciding upon his own rights. All the argnment upon the other side is that Mr. Conley will resist the newly elected Governor, but when the bill was up for passage, it was argued that no imputation ought to be cast upon him. It is not a question of policy now when the Legislature has determined that the in terest* of the State demand the proposed elec tion, and the acting Governor has declared that he will not sanction the bill. Mr. Jackson is mistaken when he says the people do not want this election; they have been plnndered and maligned by the “head devil,’' who baa fled, leaving Conley to fill the place be occupied, ao as to cover np his villa- niea. The gentleman from Fulton admits that Con ley is a usurper, and it la the duty of sworn Legislators not to reoogeize usurpation, but to repudiate it. If Mr. Conley will not yield to the Governor now proposed to be elected, why should he yield two years hence, and why would not the same trouble be feared then as now? The veto mesasge when stripped of all un sound argument, dwindles down to tho idea that Mr. Conley ia in the office of Governor and wants to slay there twelve mouths longer. Mr. Hogc said that Mr. Couly is only exercis ing the duties of Governor until a successor is elected and qualified, and it is beyond doubt, that the right to hold an election to fill the va cancy exists. He favored the passage of the bill over the veto. Mr. Snead called the previous question, and the call was sustained. The yeas and nays were taken with tho following result—yeas 110, 36 nays. Tho bill was declared passed notwith standing the veto, and was ordered transmitted to the Senate. Navs—Allred.

We have learned some foots in regard to the Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad that excite no pleasant sensations in the reader’s mind. On the 12th day of April. 1870, Mr. Cooper, the President of the road, delivered to Colonel D. G. Cot ting, the Secretary of Stato, $100,000 of the road bonds for State indorsement, taking Cotting’s receipt for them to be substituted by Governor Buttock. Tho road still holds Got. Cotting’s receipt. Oh the same day the reet of the bonds to the amount of $200,000 were de posited by Colonel Cooper with Perino Brown, agent of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company in Atlanta. Oh the 22d day of Jane, 1870, Ur. Brown de livered to Mr. Kimball $100,000 of the bonds in his possession on Colonel Cooper’s order. And on the 9th day of August, 1870, Mr. Brown delivered $15,000 more of the bonds to Mr. Kimball on Colonel Cooper’s order. Thus we see that $275,000 of these bonds were issued before five miles of the road was fully finished, Only 3 84-100 miles from Oar- tersvillo to the Etowah was completed. The law allows thr State indorsement to the bonds of $12,500 per mile when each five miles are done, or in batches of $62,500 for every five miles. In addition to the $273,000 of these bonds, Governor Bullock has had issued $300,000 more, ostensibly to be exchanged for the first $275,- 000, bat both sets are oat. On the 11th of April, 1870, Liman, Gonant & Co , the contractors, wrote to Colonel Cooper requesting him to ask Governor Bollock to torn over to Clews & Co., of New York, the bonds for advances when tho bonds shall have been indorsed by him. On Ihe 12ih Colonel Cooper made the request of Governor Bollock. Gov. Bollock indorsed these bonds knowing the road was ooboilt. If wi? hid nothing else against him, ibis violation of his dniy alone would jnstify his impeachment. It ia with pain we give these facta, beo&nse they implicate partiea respected hitherto Bnt we have no choice. Ihe troth mast bo told, let it hart whom it may. This road is 22 miles long; $275,000 is the wholo indorsement it is entitled to when done. Yet all was given before five miles was done. And fourteen miles only is complete now. Thus has Bollock committed the State to the payment of a large amount of principal and interest ill© gaily. Clews* Co. hold the $275,000. Who have the last $300,000 is not known. Here is matter for the Legislatnre.—Consti tution,. Ilclfuiitf flie “Bear*” Again. Tho Colnmbns Enquirer says: The Agricul tural Department has raised the estimate of the cotton crop, which plays into the hands of the “bears.” It bases its last calculation upon the lateness of frost and tbe “top crop.” There may be some ground! to expect a large yield from these conditions in other sections; bnt certainly the planters of Southwestern Georgia and Eastern Alabama aro not able to see where their increased yield is to oomo from. All the reports and fignringa of tho Department cannot make a large ootton crop ont of that now com* ing in; and perhaps one good result of its mis take will be tho recollection of it in coming years, when it may again undertake to advise the world that the planters do not understand the condition of their own crops. Now let those planters who have paid their debts and have something over, just wait quietly until the “bears” hare done their worst, and they will see some sport as well as put money in their parses. If some of the big crop gentry don’t get a toping skyward and a hard fall on thair return therefrom that they will remember all their lives, we shall bo greatly mistaken. Wm. Tammany be Beobgasizid ?—Under this head the Boston Post’s New York corres pondent, nnder date of Thursday last, writes as follows: Tbe general opinion appears to be that Tam many will have to keep in the backgronnd for some time to oomo. Its power is, for tho pres ent, completely broken, nnd tho men who have been foremost in managing it are shrewd enough to know that their best polioy Is inac tivity. But whatever may bo the future of Tam many. It is certain that the Democratic party will be reorganised without much delay. Not withstanding the defoat it has just suffered, the party can and will got control of the State again. The majority against it on tho State ticket can bo easily overcome, and will be, perhaps, at the next election. The Empire 8tate is not by tmy means lost to Democracy. 'When a reorganiza tion of the party takes place, and the people have got over their indignation ngainst a few individuals, we shall have this city wheeling into line with its old majorities against Radical ism, and tho rural Democracy nuking a bettor fight than that of last week. At all events there is a much bettor feeling among Democrats now than there was then, and full confidence that the part; will soon be in power once more. Kc-Ki-ux nr Georgia and Fidiiida.—A Wash ington special to tho Cincinnati Gazette of Saturday says: The Congressional Sub-Committee, composed of Bayard, Soofleld and Maynard, rotnrned to Washington to-day. The oommittee report that they hi.ve Investigated Georgia and Florida, and have found that the Kn-klnx organization has on active existence in those States, but not to that extent which would justify Interference on the part of the Federal troop*, or require that the writ of habeas oorpus be suspended. Is He is Georgia?—We clip the following from the last Memphis Christian Advocate: Thomas G. Lane, local elder in the M. E. Church, South, Jackson Station, Paine’s Chapel, was unanimously expelled from the Church by the quarterly conference on the 28th of October, 1871, under charges of falsehood and forgery.” He having left the country and changed his name, (G. L. Thomas) we failed to get his cre dentials. W. T. Harris, Presiding Elder, Jackson District. Tax Bey of Tunis says he loves Gen. Grant. Then, asks Grant, why doesn't he make mo a present? He prefers Baez to Bey. Corner lots are better than empty compliments.—Boston Pott.
