Death of Judge Linton Stephens. —The train from Sparta Monday brought the distressing intelligence that Judge Stephens had died sudden ly at his home in Sparta cn Sunday night.

The KTaticnal Fcmccratic nomina tion for President and Vice-Presi dent. Whilst there was any chance for a regular Democratic ticket- for Presi dent and Vice President we advocated that policy, but since the Baltimore Convention, by its action lias adoptee Greeley and Brown as their candidates and reduced the chances down to a choice between Giant and Greeley, we shall, without a moment’s hesita tion, take the latter. Although G.ee- ley is as much of a Radical as Grunt, there are many reasons why every Democrat and every friend of liberty should prefer him to Giant. Greeley has the reputation of being a kind hearted man, and we believe if he is elected he will overhaul these Ku K!ux trials ar.d pardon those men who have been unjustly consigned to North ern prisons. Wa bwliave also that he will send our armies to guard tlo- Irontiers. and trust the Government of the people to the civil authorities of the several Slates. Greeley is not a horse jockey’, nor a gift taker, nor a whiskey drinker, hut has always hue the reputation of being a kind hearted sober, honest man, and besides all these he has been endorsed by the Demo cratic Convention. For these an many other reasons, we greatly pretei him to General Grant, and shall do all we can to elect him.

His sturdy’ integrity, and his great en ergy’ in exposing Radical frauds an< protecting the financial interests of tin people, will (it is said) secure to him u lull term of office. We hear it rumored that the Bond Committee has its Report ready to submit on the meeting of the Legisla ture next week, and that the valid in debtedness of the State will foot up about SI 4,000,000, and the illegal claims created by Bullock’s signature to unauthorized bonds, <fcc., will aggre gate about $5,000,000. No wonder his “Ex-Excellency” finds the climate of Canada more genial ! The Joint Committee on State Road affairs is engaged in completing its Re port, under tbe supervision of the ex cellent and indefatigable Representa tive of Echols county, Hon. It. W. Phillips, temporary chairman in the absence of Mr. Candler. The frauds exposed by the labors of this Com mittee are startling even in this age of abounding corruption. Mr. J. Hen y Smith, the well known journalist of Atlanta, lias prepared a history of iliese transactions. Every honest minded citizen of Georgia should read it- The revelations of the workings of the Radical Ring with Foster Blod gett at the head should be known to every lriend to Georgia. We have induced -Mr. Smith to send a few cop ies on sale to Milledgeville. We are pleased to observe that one excellent and useful Georgian by adop tion, passed through the tire of inves tigation unscathed. We allude to Mr. Leyvis Scofield, of Iron Rolling Mill A orks of Atlanta. Some suspicion was cast on Mr. Scofield by his inabil ity to produce all of bis books; but that lias been, and will be, fully ex plained and Mr. S. fully vindicated. Ilis immense Rolling Mill is one ol the •• institutions” of Georgia. Its ca pacity for supplying railroad iron is fully equal to the wants of the whole State, besides iron of every other des cription for the ordinary domestic wants. Our Milledgeville dealers should make their orders dnect to Mr. Schofield, and thus save intermediate charges on the iron they use. Some rumor has existed that the establish ment is to be removed to another State.. It was begun by Mr. Gray soon after the war at the instance of fie present Central Railroad chief, yvfio needed its services in rebuilding i lie Central Road. He has seen fit to withdraw in great part his patronage, and transfer it to England, notwith standing as good material and at as good prices, can be furnished at home. We deem it a special duty to encourage home manufactures, prices aud quality being equal. We find the great masses of the Baltimore. [continued.] Baltimore, July 9.—The speaker’s gavel is made from a piece of a liv«- oaK from the old liigate Constitution. Reverdy Johnson appeared on the platform and was cheered. The Committee on Credentials and )rganization was appointed. Belmont’s remarks were frequently interrupted with moderate applause. The mention of Greeley's name was received with loud demonstrations ol approval. The band played Dixie, when Ran dolph took liis seat as temporary chair man amid cheers. His speech was de- livere ’ with much energy and effec tiveness, considering that the speaker is nearly an octogenarian, and yvas re peatedly cheered. The Rev. Henry Slicer on being presented, addressed the Throne ol Grace. The rules of former Democratic Conventions were adopted. A resolution of thanks to Mr. Bel- Mont was adopted, and a recess till 4 o’clock. SPEECH OF MB. DOOLITTLE. Ex-Senator J. R. Doolittle, of Wis consin, yvas chosen permanent chair man. Senator Bayard and Gov. Hod man conducted iiiin to the cliair amidst great applause. He said: Gentlemen of the Contention—I thank you for this great honor. Words can hardly tell how much, but you will alleyy me to pass at once from what is personal to speak of tiie great occasion, the duty and the purpose which brings us here, after an interval of two years. Nearly five years alter the bloody period of civil war had closed, the Lib eral Republicans of Missouri, [ap plause] feeling hourly all the evil of the proscription, test oath, the hates and the strifes, and the passions . war had left upon them long after the war itself had closed, and feeling keenly the executive Federal power in their loyal elections, determined to organize a movement to restore equal rights to all our citizens, [applause] yvbite as well as black, [applause] and to re store local sell-government, and to ar- lest the further centralization of Fed eral power. [Applause.] They then said this thing had gone far enough, if not already too far. The time h is come when all honest patriotic Repub licans must say halt, and re-assert the vital doctrine ol Republican Govern ment. That under the Constitution, the powers of the Federal Government are delin d and limited, [applause and cries of good ! good !] and that the people of the States have the light to govern themselves in their own domes tic affairs upon the basis of equality of all the States before the higher layv, and before the Constitution, [applause] of universal loyalty, amnesty, suffrage, and peace. Taking no steps backward : taking no right ur franchise which had been secured the blacks, pledging themselves to support them all in their Democratic party ready to yield an | full vigor, they at the same time de- Atlanta, Ga., July 13, 1S72. This city is in the turmoil ol a pop ular election. By consent ol the friends of Gov. Smith and Mayor James, rivals lor the Democratic nom ination for Governor, on the 24th, county delegates to the Convention are elected bv popular vote. Wc vis ited the election precint in the City Hall this forenoon. The election was proceeding as orderly as if conducted under the sanction of law. 'The friends of the lespective aspirants wer<- active but good humored. Each side •daims now (31 P.

Toombs’ “ back-chalkers” are “few and fur between.” Passion has lost its power and Reason rules. The course of Hi n. A. II. Stephens is re gurded as infinitely more important. It is earnestly hoped that he will modi fy the present course of “The Sun” newspaper, which will virtually sup port Grant if it continues its active opposition to Greeley since his nomi nation at Baltimore. The people ol Georgia love and honor Mr. Stephens ; but they cannot lollovv him on a path way leading, however indirectly, and without intention on his part, to Grant- The Supreme Court is in session here. We saw on yesterday for the first time, Justice Montgomery, ap pointed by Gov. Smith. The Justice is certai.ify a fine looking gentleman, with an expression decidedly iut* lleet- uaI. His course on the Supreme Bench has impressed the public very favora bly. Atlanta continues to grow apace. Street railways are spreading ; and lor 5 cents one can already enjoy a ride lor miles. New business bouses in the heart of the city, and elegant resi dences in the suburbs are going up. We have met here, within the past lew lew days, almost every one we ever met before. Truly this is the “Gate City.” We have just had a pleasant chat with young .Murk McComb, for merly of Milledgeville, who will soon return thither in charge of the Mil ledgeville Hotel. Allow us to con gratulate you. We have met here the handsome and popular young au thor, Mrs. M. 3’- Westmoreland, who is looking remarkably well, and ener getic enough to write a dozen more volumes. She has appeared in a new’ capacity, having delivered the annual Address before the Lagrange Female College at the recent commencement of that Institution. Her effort is spoken of in the highest terms for its ability and practical usefulness. Our friend Col. Reuben Arnold, of this city, favored us with a drive last evening to the lamed Police de Leon Spring. Its popularity as a pleasure resort increases; and its effects on the aged and infirm are reported to be magical. A good story is told of a widow and widower, both well known here, w ho “met by chance” at the witching midnight hour, under the moonlight, over this sparkling foun tain. \\ fiat but love and matrimony, and soforth, could ensue? So goes the story. Since that event, we under stand the rush to these waters has in creased, and muffled wheels of the timid aged, advanced in years but full of good matrimonial desires, are some times beard even in the “wee sma’ hours ’ of the night.

[Great applause.] They organized nearly 4(J,U0l) strong, and called upon B. Gratz Brown [ap plause] to lead the movement. Tney placed him in nomination for Governor. Then what followed ? SO,000 Demo cratic Republican majority. [Cheers.] Looking upon the success of that movement as above any party triumph [cheers] they lgsolved to sustain with their whole strength the law of the country, the law of Republican liber ty, the law of equal rights of all men which inspired that union and taught men to act together who had been po litically opposed to each other all their lives, upon other questions, and in oth er times, and without violating honor, logic, conscience or consistency on either side. This patriotic union was based upon higher grounds than ordinary central political action. [Great applause.] Even those who had fought against each other in battle clasped hands over the bloody chasm [renewed applause] and side by side, like brothers witfi hearts beating in unison—beating strong with the same high purpose, they help to bear its flag to a glorious victory. That, gentlemen, is liberal republicanism [enthusiasm] and that is democratic republicanism. [Great en thusiasm.] The victory which came Irom that union was end of proscrip tion, test-oaths, of pain and strife, and of all disloyalty. In a word, the real end of the civil war came with that victory, and did not come until then in Missou ri. [Intense applause.] It redeemed that (State ; it gave the right of free men to 70.000 men who had been bound and fettered. Missouri is now a free State in this Union with all her rights, dignity and equality under the Constitution, and not one murmur ol disloyalty is anywhere heard. By that union Federal dictation in Missouri, in their local elections, was overthrown, and by that union strife and hate have given place to peace and good will, by that union, liberty, with equal rights for all, lias given the State unbounded prosperity, and to her people joy al most unspeakable. So great was their joy and so com plete the success of the Liberal Repub licans of that State, that they were not content without making one effort to extend the same union of Liberal and Democratic Republicans, and with it the SMiie blessing of liberty, peace and fraternity to all other States.— [Rounds of applause.] Accordingly, in State Convention on the 24th of March last they resolved to invite the Liberal Republicans in all States to meet them in national convention in Cincinnati on the first day of May. The invitation was accepted. They came by thousands—in such numbers that a delegate convention of repre sentatives of all btates was formed both from principle and from necessi ty, to give form to its proceedings. Many of the ablest men in the country, lately leaders in the Republican party, were there and took part in its delib erations. They were assured a large number of Liberal Republicans in every State and from all portions of the country stood behind ready to sustain them, and tlipy were morally certain that il the millions whom we this day represent [cheers] would only come to their support the number of Liberal Republicans would reach half I a million or more. [Great cheers.]! That Convention presented a platform md presented candidates to the coun-j try for President Horace Greeley,! [iong and continued cheering] and for Y’ice President B. Gratz Brown, [more enthusiasm] and that Convention, for the promotion and success of princi ples declared in the platform there enunciated the supporters of the can didates nominated by that Convention have invited and cordially welcomed the co-operation of all patriotic citi zens, without regard to previous poli tical affiliations. Those principles were so clearly and concisely stated in the platform itself, and re-stated in the letter of ac ceptance to Mr. Greeley, [more cheer ing] and they are so well known to you all, that I will not re-state them. For weeks that platform and these candidates have been before the coun try ; meanwhile, the Convention call ed to nominate Gen. Grant [hisses] and to endorse and to continue the principles, practices and policy of his administration, has done its work. [Hisses] Between the Liberal Re publicans and tbe Grant administra tion tbe issue is dearly up—it is Grant or Greeley, [immense enthusiasm and cries of Greeley !] While these events were passing, the Democratic Repub licans who were present, held their Conventions in all the States. The Liberal movement, the example ot Missouri, the Cincinnati Convention, its platform and its candidates, with their letter of acceptance, were all be fore these Conventions, which were very largely attended by their ablest men, and the paramount questions be fore these Conventi ns were—shall we accept this invitation to co-operate with the Liberal Republicans ? [Great applause.] Shall we adopt the plat form ? [Loud cries of yes ! yes ! and some cries of never!] Shall vve nom inate the same candidates, [vesl yes!] and shall we elpct them V [Yes! yes! Loud cheering.] Or shall we refuse to co-operate, nominate other candidates, [no! no! Greeley! Greejey!] and strive to elect them over both tickets already in the field ? Gentlemen, these are the questions which you are to decide now and here. That you will decide wisely I can’t doubt, nor can any one doubt who looks over the body of men represent ing, as they do, 3,000,000 of people, and who feel, as every oi e here must j feel, the high and patriotic purpose | which inspires you. Gentlemen, what means this great and rising movement .which we everywhere see? What means this possible Union of 3,000,000 of Democratic Republicans with 1,000,000, it may be, of Liberal Re publicans? What meats this union upon a common platform, and this pro posed union upon the same candidate: a union so sudden, so compact, so earn- ! est as to surprise its friends and to , confound its enemies, [applause] which . comes as the winds come ; which, to borrow a figure, overwhelms the ordi- ; nary currents of public opinion as the i great storms always run to the sur face current? What means all this ! There are some tilings, gentlemen, it does not mean. It means no abandon ment of what is true, of what is just, of what is good in human govern ments. [Applause] lc means no union of the dead upon dead issues, but a union of the living upon the living issu s of the present. It means no union for the spoils of office, [ap plause] but it means a union of men j with the same faitli upon the great j and paramount issues of the present hour, a frank, manly, honorable and equal union of men who have the sa gacity to see and the moral courage to accept the situation. [Good, good, and loud cheers.] It means a union oi men who have the sagacity to see what is past, and to deal with the issues ol the present, and, for the future, to do their duty to their country, their God, and their fellow-men. The issue ot to-day is not the re peal of the Missouri compromise, nor the question of slavery in the territo ries, upon which alone tbe Republi can party was organized in 1S56. It is not upon that which followed, when the Leeompton constitution for Kansas divided the Democratic party in t^ain and elected Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency in 18(30 ; ic is not the question of secession, nor of war to put down rebellion, nor the abolition of slavery in tbe States by military or der, nor by constitutional amend ments, upon which Mr. Lincoln was re elected in 1864, nor yet is it the question of reconstruction or of the fourteenth or fifteenth amendments, nor the question of ueero suffrage, nor the establishment by Federal power ol universal negro suffrage as a condition precedent to the States ot the South having any rights or any existence even as States in the Union. It is none of these questions that are now in issue ; all these have been issues ol the past—great issues sufficient in themselves to create and dissolve po litical parties, because ideas are stronger than men or parties ; but they are all past issues—they have been fought out and fought to the end, in the foruin or in the field, and they are no more in issue to-day than D e Mexican war or the war of rebellion. [Applause.] We could not re-open them if we would, and they fatally misrepresent our purpose who say that we would re-open them it we could. This great union, therefore, means no steps backward. [Cheers.] Forward, is the word. [Cheers—loud cheering.] And first ot all, it means to-day lor all the other States of the South what it has already done in Mis souri. Instead of proscription, test oaths, suspension of habeas corpus and military despotism, it means personal freedom for the individual and repub lican good for all. [Loud applause ] Instead of negro supremacy upheld by proscription and the bayonet, it means equal rights to alt men, white as well as black. [Loud applause] Instead of thieving governments organized to plunder subjugated States, it means the dominance of intelligence and in tegrity, instead of strife, hate and rob bery. It means justice, liberty, peace,! loyalty and good will.

[Prolonged ap plause.] Mr. Doolittle concluded as follows : Gentlemen : I have thus briefly stated tlie situation, the duties and the purpose which bring us here. A great responsibility rests upon this Convention. If its action shall be such as to put an end to the misrule which for tbe past few years lias af flicted our beloved country, this gen eration and generations to come alter us will remember, with pride and gratitude, the Convention at Balti more of the 9th of July, IS72. Amid loud and long continued ap plause Mr. Doolittle took his seat. The following gentlemen were nom inated as the National Executive Com mittee : Alabama, Thomas A.

Miller, Omaha ; Nevada, Thomas on Resolutions Mr. Bayard took the platform, and said while there was no disposition to carp at and oppose men because of formed political opinions, he Imped the great Democratic organization would lie allowed to have an independent ex pression of its own honest sentiments. [Cheers.] Why take, cut and dried, rlie resolutions of another organiza tion ? [Applause.] Why have the op inions of other men not chosen by us been forced down our throats as our expression? It is proposed here that we shall go before tbe country for the first time without our own indepen dent expression of principles. It is not just or wise to ask us to go into this campaign under the clothing ol a minority. [Calls of time—time.] Tbe Chair announced that Mr. Burr, out of respect fur the majority, con sented to give Mr. Bayard ten minutes more. Another Connecticut delegate ob jected to any’ man’s occupying the time of the Convention in this way [Applause and hisses.} Tiie chair called to order and re minded delegates that this is a delib erative assemblage and urged respect lul bearing of any one who occupied the floor whether they approve his sentiments or nor. Mr. Bayared finally resumed—argu ing the necessity for some expression oi opinion upon the question of the exercise of Federal military power under the color ol legislation to en force the fourteenth and fifteenth con stitutional amendments.

Baltimore, July 10.— I he dele gates w’ere generally in their seats by Mr. O’Connor, of South Carolina, re gretted that there should have been any difference of opinion here. All other issues should be merged in the single one of defeating the election of the present national administration. He said the reconstruction acts of the 13th, 14th and 15th constitutional amendments had been accepted. Pub lic opinion was higher than govern ments and superior to any declarations by convention. [Applause.] There was-nothing left us on issue now but to save the nation from destruction by corruption. He reviewed and criti cised the foreign policy of the admin istration, and urged tiie union of the whole nation to defeat the unhallow ed purposes and shiftless policy ol the present government. An allusion to the prospective elec tion ol Mr. Greeley was received with great applause. As to the 15th amend ment iie would be the last man to at tempt to wrest from the four millions of f reed men the right of suffrage.— [Great applause.] Judge Reagan, of Texas, followed, and said it was supposed among his people that the Democratic party could not succeed at this el ction with a dis tinct Democratic candidate. Tliere- Hoffman, of New York, presented a petition of 12,000 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 Secretary. It recommends the nomination of Greeley and Brown an! expresses belief that they will re ceive the hearty support of the Ger mans, regardless ot past party affilia tions, as the best nomination that can be made [Cheers.] Ray, of Indiana, offered an amend ment. providing that on the calling of each State, its Chairman shall state how the delegation votes, and his state ment alone shall betaken. The amend ment was accepted by the mover of the original resolution, and adopted viva voce. Snowhook, of Illinois, presented the name of Horace Greeley as the De mocratic candidate for President.— [Cheers.] The roll was called on the Presidential nomination. Each vote for Greeley was received with cheers. The ballot resulted: Gr&dey, 68G; Jas. A. Bayard, 1-5; J. S. Black, 21 ; Groesbeck, 2.

C., July 12.—A grand Greeley and Brown ratification meet ing was held here to-day’, under the auspices of Senator Ransom. Sever al thousand people were present. Senators Tipton and Stockton, Gov. Walker, of Virginia, ex-Gov. Vance, ex-Senator Clingman and Col. Hinton,, of Norfork, spoke. Senators Tipton and Stockton joined hands with Sen ator Ransom in a token of the recon ciliation of the North and South, &~ midst the shouts and cheers of the im mense crowd. The Hon. T. L. Kenan presided. The utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed. The State campaign is fairly inau gurated and will be pushed on both sides with the greatest enthusiasm. Senator Carl Sctiurz will speak in Raleigh on Thursday. A Committee of German citizens is here to meet Sena tor Schurz. They have addressed him a letter endorsed by Senators Tipton, Stockton and Ransom, ex-Senator Clingman, Gov. Vance inviting him to North Carolina. "Senator Stockton created the utmost enthusiasm among the Democrats of this section by his able and manly stand here to-day. His endorsement of the nomination by the Baltimore Convention, coming Irani the distinguished son of New Jersey, created the greatest enthu siasm, and decided doubting Demo crats. 10 o’clock this morning.

Agreed to. proceeded with an excited protest Mr. Burr, of Connecticut, announ- against the cutting off of debate more, g race ced that the Committee on Resolutions were ready to report, and came to the platform, and at bis request the reading Clerk Mr. Perrin, read the report, re commending the adoption ot the res olutions already adopted by the Liber al Republican Convention at Cincin nati. [Cheers.] • In order that there should be no misapprehension as to these resolu tions Mr Burr called for their leading in full to the Convention, which was done—each plank in the platform being received with applause. The one-terrn plank was especially well received. A call for three cheers at tbe close elicited a partial response, Mr. Burr explained that the resolu- Cries of sit down—call the roll— call the roll. The roll of the States w r as-called on the main question—the adoption of the platform which resulted yeas 662 nays 70. At the close of calls when Delaware voted no there were loud hisses. The chair appealed to the Conven tion to treat with respect the vote of any and every State. Delegates said the disturbance was in the galleries. Before the vote was announced, per mission was asked by the chairman of Alabama to make an explanation of a change which he desired to make in the record of all Alabama votes. Objection being made, the Chair- tioris were the Cincintati platform ex- man ruled that while Alabama had a actly—nothing added and nothing ex-! Ei«ght to change the vote, he could not eluded. This platform was adopted maintain it. in the committee by all the States ex cept Delaware, Mississippi, Oregon and Georgia. He moved the adoption of the report and called the previous question. Subsequently, 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 Pennsylvania f o'itics. Pennsylvania politics, just now, are a study. The Radical candidate for Gover nor, Gen. John F. Elartrauft, seems to be very unpopular with the more influen tial members of the Legislature, and his defeat is freely predicted. Forney’s Prtss is particularly bitter in its opposition to the General, and says that if he continues- in the field he will be the worst beaten candidate that ever ran for the official po sition iu Pennsylvania. He is charged with downright dishonesty-no unusual charge against a Uadieal-with fraud and pecu lation. Forney’s opposition to llartranft and his attacks on Senator Cameron con stitute a phase of politics quite peculiar, llartranft, it must be reme nbered is a candidate of the Cameron ring, and the Cameron ring is one of the especial favor ites of President Grant. Cameron is an Administration Senator and Hartranft is the Administration candidate for Gover nor. Forney has arrayed himself against these Presidential tools, but he supports Grant heartily and fervidly. It puzzles one to imagine how such things can be. In the meau time it is pretty clearly set tled that Mr. Buckalew, the Democratic candidate will be elected to the Execu tive chair by a very heavy majority. Pennsylvania will then have what sue has not had for years—an honest, able a id statesmanlike administration ot State af fairs and her political air will oe purified. Sweet Peas—A skillful cultivator of sweet peas says that if properly grown they will bloom for months, that failure arises from poor soil, sowing too thickly, and not allowing a well dve'oped and luxuriant growth. The soil should be very rich, and for a hedge or screen, tho peas sown in a row. To keep up the bloom, the seed pods must be promptly removed,, as the growth and ripening ot seeds wilt exhaust the strength of the plant. By this process they will bloom all summer and until frost.— Iowa Homestead. w GEORGIA, Bulloch County. A LL persons interested are hereby notified that a. Division of the estate of John C.
