<Quitman lie porter. 11. I. MtINTOSH, ) - Editors .K'S. TILLMAN, S THURSDAY. JUNE 8, 1878. Hon. B. H. Hill writes a letter fa voring Senator Bayard for tho Presi dency. Wr have been able to find but two men in this section who are not in fa vor of removing the capital from At lanta back to Alilledgeville, ami those men are E. C. Wade and Sam Griffin both Federal office-holders, and the only white Radicals in Brooks county. It seems that a movement has been in stituted, by circulating a paper for the signatures of leading Democrats, to induce Gov. Herschell V. Johnston to allow his name to go before the gubernatorial convention for nomina tion, and the “eleven able editors’’ of the Atlanta Constitution are mad be cause they were not asked to sign it. This is nothing more than we ex pected, and now the next thing we look for is along interview with Bul lock, Blodget or Kimball on the sub ject, under a spread-eagle heading, in the Constitution. We were in Savannah last week, and heard one of the most level-headed, influential merchants of that city say that he would never die satisfied until the State Capital was removed from Atlanta back to Milledgevillo. There are thousands of just such high-toned pa triotic old Georgians who hope to live to see our State Government re turned to its former seat, where, re lieved from its present influences, our laws cnti be made and administered honestly, and for the general good and improvement of the entire com monwealth—not Atlanta alone. Hyena Blaine. The Baltimore Ga zette sits down rather hard on Blaine: “All during the earlier dayH of the present session of Congress, Hon. James G. Blaine was aggressive. Every democrat that arose to speak was regarded by Mr. Blaine as an up start to be put down at once, as a on Jimmy B's walk. Wherefore it was his custom to “glare,” to “crouch ready for tho spring,” and all that sort of thing. Now he is kept so constantly occupied in vising and explaining that, bo has not even the time to shoot off his big gun on the Bible in the public schools. Rave it up, Jeems, until after tho con vention. The public only wishes to hear you now on one point. What is the real truth about tho bonds? Don’t glare and crouch ready for the spring; but just relate that inner and interesting history.” The people of Atlanta are warned to throw out their anchors the Quitman Reporter is coming up to move the capital next week. - - Atlanta Constitution. Your evident alarm ifi well taken, brother Constitution, but then wo do not think you need give yourselves any unnecessary trouble for the pres ent. We do not expect to have the capital removed as early as you have stated, and, really, we did not intend to frighten you when we intimated in last week’s Reporter that it would be well for the people to take the matter into consideration when they go to select their representatives to the next legislature. The proposed re moval of the capital back to Milledge ville is rapidly gaining favor among the people, however, and you may de pend upon it that it will_ bo made an issue in the coming election for tnem l>ers of the General Assembly. Don’t get nervous, now, bnt just mark our prediction and await developments. Tlv.' Qpitiun Reporter takes liis cue trom tin' of our Savannah rotcni jiofnry ami indulges in silly abuse of Atlanta, we make this announcement in order that the abused may know that there is a Quit man Report. r in the world and that he oc casionally says something, second-hand though it be. —Atlanta Constitution. Is that the best you could do, bub ? The “abused” certainly have a very poor mouth-piece if you can’t blow a stronger blast than that, and when the proposed removal of the Stato capital comos to a square issue. Atlanta and her “wealthy and respectable citizens,” of bond-standing, banquet-giving, bonus-taking propensities will bo very apt to come out at the little end of the horn. Don’t think that you are going to always bluff the honest peo ple of the State by such silly squibs ns the above whenever anything is said about the removal of the capital. The developments of the last three mouths in Atlanta have convinced the people, outside of that remarka ble city, that in order to bring our State government back to its former purity and honest management, its headquarters must bu taken away from the “wealthy” and “abused” of Atlanta. The change must be made, and the people are begining to seo it, and the Atlanta trumpet may as well make up its mind to change its tune and meet the issue squarely and fair ly upon its merits. These hard-blown bluffs have played. Explanatory We rise to a point of privilege, in hebelf of the mienlipUteued Koutb Georgia, tonsk the State Executive Committee when they expect to call the Gubernatorial Convention. Can it be that the Chairman wants more time to electioneer be I or# the Convention ia hold? If that's wlmt you are waiting for. Col. Tom., "there's where you make a mis take," for Colquitt and .rallies are beutilio you at your own game. They have heen all j over the State ullee, and are now half way through on the second round. We wero sorry to see the above paragraph, which appeared in our ed itorial columns week before Inst, mis construed by t’io Atlanta Commoi - wealth, Reproducing the paragraph, | our contemporary says: The Quitman Ukpohtkm hits on the raw. Col. Ilardvinnn's delay iu calling the com mittee together was nrt a good sign of fair ness, and it suggests the propriety of his withdrawal from the Committee. A candi date for Governor ought not to ait as Chair man of tlie Executive Committee Wo did not intend to cnsl any un fair insinu"tions upon Col. Harde man as Chairman of the Stale Execu tive Committee, neither did we desire to suggest tho “propriety of his with drawal from the committee;” but the paragraph was merely intended ns a cut at tho electioneering of all three of the gubernatorial candidates men tioned. We desire to disclaim any j intention to charge Col. Hardeman 1 with unfairness; and the use which \ we made of his name as Chairman of | tho Committee was only to get a cut at his competitors and himself to gether for their electioneering, the “hit upon the raw” being intended as , much for the one as the other. We make this explanation iu justice to Col. Hardeman, as we learn that he feels that we have placed him in an improper light, and we will add that we know of no man in the State,. whom wo think could have served upon the Executive Committee of his party more faithfully than he has, and j that there are few Georgians who have done more to defeat the carpet bag foe and overthrow the corrupt and bayonet-imposed government with which we have been afflicted, than Tom Hardeman. Place Us Hiclit. In a statement as to bow the Geor gia press stands on the gubernatorial question, we notice tliat tbe Atlanta Commonwealth puts the Reporter down among tbe list of those that have declared iu favor of Gen. Col quitt. This statement i.s entirely gratui tous upon the part of the Common wealth, for the Reporter has never ex presed itself in favor of the nomination of any of the prominent candidates now in tire field, from tbe simple fact that wo have never been overly anx ious to see either of them made Gov ernor of tho State, believing that in due course of time another man could be found that, in our opinion, would make a better Executive. Some three months ago, when it was thought that the contest had been narrowed down to Gov. Smith and Gen. Colquitt, we did, for reasons then stated, express a preference for the latter over the former. This, how ever, is the only instance in which we have' ever expressed a preference for Gen. Colquitt, and that expression was based entirely upon those gentle men. AVe therefore disclaim ever having advocated the nomination of Gen. Col quitt, and with the preset lights be fore us, we question whether it will be wise iu the Democratic party to select him as their standard bearer. Resnlrert, That in the maintenance of our free school system, untraimneled by secta rian influences, we secure that method which will make the near and remote future of our country blessed and sublime, and wc pledge to it our constant and undeviating support. Wo clip the aboi’e from the Madi son, Florida, Recorder. It is a part and parcel of the proceedings of the Radical convention held at Madison on the 31st ult. It is all very well to thoso who have never fenThtfweighty hand of the tax assessor, but those who have carried the load would like to know what has become of all the money that lias been raised by taxa tion, and otherwise to carry on this free school system, so free from secta rian influences. Of a certainty the people of Madison county have never seen a single statement from the Board of public instruction, and they have every reason to know, and do know, that the amounts raised by tax ation lias never been applied as the law directs. The people want to know, and in tend to know, what lias become of their hard earnings. Look out for squalls when tho investigators come round; and they will como, you may rest assured. The Jacksonville Press thinks the nomi nation for Governor by the Democrats and Conservatives, has narrowed down to J. J. Daniel, of Duval, and George F. Drew, of Madison. —Madison .Yews. We are well acquainted with the two above named Florida gentlemen, and as we have been a citizen of that State for many years, think that we ought to be allowed the privilege of makiug a suggestion, occasionally. Our opinoin is, that George F. Drew is your strongest and best man. Drew for Governor, and Col. Daniel for Lieutenant Governor, and you may rest assured that, all will be well with >nit in November next. The Mountain Labored, and He boid What it Brought. Forth! Tho great Radical muss at Madi son last week, demonstrates very clearly that the bettor portion of the radical party do not intend to be hoodwinked any longer by that cor rupt set of plunderers, Stearns A Cos. Their influence seems to have depart ed them, and they, ere tho ides of a December’s sun, will bo seen, carpet bag in band, on their journey home; and then, oh, ye Gods I what will be come of those Conservative-Demo crats, who, being actuated from poli cy, and for the good of the communi ties in which they live, (and nothing more), that became the bondsmen of certain carpet-bag tax-collectors, who we have understood have not settled their accounts with tho State Gov ernment for several years; and yet they, or some of them, are trying to c’imb a little higher, and put them selves in a position to get all at one grab. But Conover A Cos. have cer tainly got the inside track, and if Florida is again to be cursed by Rad cal rule, then far better it will be for the masses that Conover A Cos. be the parties. The "Railroad. Several papers have been making unjust attacks upon the management of the J. P. A M. R. R. by Major Walker, and tho Floridian, in order that Justice should bo done the Re ceiver, lias inquired into the present condition of the road. Upon the best authority', it makes the following statement of facts: "Every trestle on tin- rontl lias In,'ll re newed. and is now good for live years; 155,- 000 cross-ties have been placed on the road; the road-bed is in better condition than it has been for six years. Between Quincy and Lake City trains can he run with safety 35 milesan hour. Six miles of new iron lias been placed between Baldwin and Sander son, and the old iron, with frayed ends cut off, has been relaid along the load, and the entire line is in better condition than it has been furtive years; and as to rolling stock, there is no question that the road is iu better condition than it has been for many years." We clip tire above from the Weekly Constitution, and will add that Major Robert Walker is not only the best railroad man in the State of Florida, but is an honest, Christian gentleman. The people will see in a very short time what the difference will be in the management of their road, since it has again fallen into the bauds of thats vile horde of miserable thieves, who will run it wholly in tho interest of their party. Tired of the Honor. A correspondent of the Charleston Xews and Courier states that the bus iness of the Court of Common Pleas at iiaur welt uourl H.,u South .Car-' oiina, recently came to a stunCPsUl)/ while Judge Maher, was in tho midst of his causes, because the colored ju ry were in a starving condition. They had eaten not a morsel for the whole day, and could get neither money nor credit. The Judge was at his wits ends, but finally addressed them thus: “Under the circumstances I will be compelled to discharge yon, lor I can not keep you here in a starving con dition. But you see to what a condi tion you have brought the county. You are not without blame, for the men iu office responsible for the stop page of the court were put there by your votes. Hero we are in the month of May; there is no money to pay your judge, to pay jurors, to sup port the prisoners in jail, or pay oth er expenses of the county. You col- 1 ored voters are responsible for this ; thing, for by your votes the bad men who have brought about this lament able state of affairs were elected. Last Week’s Cotton Figures. The Chronicle's report of the week’s re ceipts was 16,330 hales against 17.30*2. The Cotton Exchange report" was 17,*21 against 15,481. Total receipts per Chronicle 4,001,104 bales against 3,300,636 —showing a gain of 007,468 bales. The Cotton Ex change total was 4,006,395 against 3,382,904 -showing a gain of 023,431. The market has gone to the clogs. We copy the above as an item of interest to our many farmer readers. We will tell them that the cotton men arc talking about 6 cents per pound for middling cotton next year.~ ~ We' mention this in order that the plant ers may put their houses in order. Such prices will bankrupt the whole planting interest—that we all know. Bear it in mind that wo still hold to the idea, that it is not over production that has brought about this state of financial depression and low prices. We will show when tho time comes, what is the matter with Hannah. It appears from the following that one of the eleven able editors of the At \lanta Constitution has “taken his cue from the bead-light of our Savannah cotemporary.” Head this from the I iiforesaid one-eleventh able, and then | read Harris’ poetry on our first page,i and observe the similarity of style: “We b ave our choice for governor, but we shall scorn to have him forced as the nominee, were it in our power to do so, against the will of flic ma jority of the party.”— Cartci'Hi'Ule Ex prvttti.

Wo must, however, say that wc desire to see fair play all round, and we think tlmt sonro of our eotcrqporaries are not doing right by the gentleman whose name heads thi* article. We have papers and parties in the State who have been for months past advocating tho claims of Gen. Colquitt, with more zeal than knowl edge, perhaps, at all times and in all places; others have been nearly as fervent for Hardeman and perhaps for James, and it was all right, blit now, almost as soon as it becomes apparent that Hon. 11. V. Johnson will really allow his name to go before tho Con vention, various cries arc mised against him. The first is that some prominent republie.au lias said that 76,000 of their party would vote for .Tobnpqp jf hcjgpfo: nominated. Wed,. if they 'did it would not make John son a worse Governor, or a worse man than if lie were elected entire ly by Democratic votes, would it? Then a comWpondent of tho Atlan ta Constitution cries out “Rixu! there is a Johnson ring.” Well, we have had a “tjmitli Ring,” that several of the newspapers claim to have discovered tlat amounted to noth ing and we think this newly dis covered Johison ring is about as thin as air. She charge ns made, if substantiated, only mnomits'to this, that some fricjuls of Gov. Johnson in Richmond county have written to friends in oilier counties and made arrangement) with them to carry their respective counties for Johnson in the Convention if it was in their power to do so. This is the substance of this tei riUe ring. Now if it is any worse morally, politically or other wise for a man to write to his friends, even if those friends are prominent men and ask them to work for his nomination than to go about through the couutry making speeches, button holing prominent ihch(Jl'very where, and getting the newspapers to urge their claims loudly and cry out for their nomination, wo fail to perceive it and can only say that we think tins cry of a Johnson ring is raised sim ply to inquire if possible Johnson’s chances for nomination. “Oi.d'Jjoi! Too.wns.” Tbe DauviSl , Ya., Xews chronicles the passage through that city of that veteran old Georgiau, Genl.

The Houston Journal can go head on the following: * Mrs. Sewell, of this conunty, was in her garden the other morning pick ing peas for fliuner, when two large rattlesnakes came out from a hedge of raspberries.

They appered to be very expert in dodg but. the largest ore finally seised the smaller one by the tail and with one or two gulps "swallowed him bod ily.

This boats cotton. Who is (xt'oigo F. Drew ? Feeling, as wo do, groat interest in the redemption of Florida and the ultimate overthrow of Radical misrule in that State, our columns shall bo used to that end iu the ap proaching campaign. Being satisfied that tho Hon. Geo. F. Drew, of Mud son, is tho best and strongest man the Democrats can select as their i candidate for Governor, and as the i Um'ortkh circulates extensively in .Middle Florida, we take pleasure in reproducing the following brief biog raphy of that gentleman, which we find in the Jacksonville Press: St. John’s River, May lti, ’7G. I have known him for twenty-two yearn, and I am as familiar with his history as any other living man. This is written to bring before the public a modest and deserving gentleman, whoso life and avocation have kept him entirely out of political rings of every kind. Air. Drew was horn in the village of Alton, in the State of Now Hamp shire, about forty-nine years ago, and at a very early age, before he arrived at bis majority, moved to Columbus, Ga., and was associated for several years with the enterprising propa gandist, Hon. John G. Winter, in tho large iron works owned by that gen tleman, whose contemporaries, Hon. Seaborn Jones, Gen. H. L. Banning, and Hon. Walter T. Colquitt, were his associates also. Air. Drew’s native good sense, force 1 of character and unswerving integrity, attracted tho attention of the good i and wise, even in his boy-liood. He married in Columbus, soon after lie arrived at manhood, a most amiable and accomplished lady, and has for ! nearly thirty years been identified with the South, having adopted the . tastes and manners of the Southern gentleman, without ever once relax ing in his energy and perseverance. The late war found him pursuing his business, a miller, near Albany, iu Southwestern Georgia, and while he thought the war impracticable for the South, and might have been a politician as a Union man during the war, still he rendered most efficient services in ihc section in which he found his lot east, by ministering to the wants of hundreds of poor way worn soldiers, who were never turned from ]iis door empty. In conjunction with Co4# Majptell, he prepared for ns9 liuudredn<m thousands of bridge timber for the Confederacy, at his ef ficient works on tho Southwestern railroad, and although the maddened frenzy of unrelenting war caused his! proud spirit often to chafe under the jibs and taunts of bomb-proof patriots, still he staid and - stuck to the South ; his adopted home—till the last gun was tired, and then with a moral he roism that few possessed, without a shilling lie. could call his own, he pro cured, by bis integrity alone, the use nftun abandoned little, steam mill on .here under untold sacrifices com \ menced bis new career. He soon, 1 with the brain which spanned the sit uation, brought before capitalists the ’ importance of the point on the J. P. & M. railroad, at tho confluence of the Suwannee and Witblacoochee rivers -and hero Drew A Bueki’s great mills are located. They own fifty thousand acres of the best pine lands for miles up and near the banks of these livers; they contribute daily sixty thousand feet of Merchantable lumber to the freights of the J. P. A M. railroad--they have in their vari ous business departments four hun dred employees, and feed over a thou sand people—they own large quanti ties of hogs, cattle, sheep, horses and mules, well ordered farms, beautiful crops of oats, corn, sugar-cane, pota toes, fruit trees and superb vegetable gardens; and in Ellaville, the home of Mr. Drew, there is a fine school, two resident ministers of tile Gospel, five hundred inhabitants, many with beautiful residences. Their magnifi cent saw-mills, planing mills, variety works, furniture factory, axe-bandle factory, large stocks of goods in their beautiful stores, post-office, telegraph and express otlice, without a single lounger in the place, and George F. Drew, the b'and and urbane gentle man was tho founder, from the native forest, but a few year? since, and is now the presiding deity over the mu nicipality and industrial iuteiest of this grand enterprise. Nor is this all —Mr. Drew is a gen tleman of mark in his appearance and intelligence, without a classical edu cation, he has at all times during life slfowed a high appreciation for the higher orders of of architecture, and a love for lino arts; and as his fortunes have increased, is surrounding him self with many of the elegancies of life. His habits are simple but rigid, never intemperate, either in eating or drinking, rising early, and systemat ically employing himself; he has wast ed but little timo in life. Ho enter tains a great contempt for either a lazy or slippery man, and while the i financial storm for the past three years shocked and destroyed almost every enterprise in the country, Mr. Drew’s crest is still erect, and the beating financial cyclone that has been and is still engulfing its thou- , sands around him. Such is the light of a dim taper, i who has known and still knows Geo. F. Drew, the man who never went back on a friend or acted with panic faith to any. Oi.fi Bourbon. An Eyk Witness’ Account or Corn wallis’ Surrender.- Not long since, being at Yorktown, Va., I ‘fell into a discussion with a very old negro man, who was quite communicative. As nearly as I can recall the words, bis narrative was as follows: “I see Gen. Washington ? Yes, sail! Why, I was here all do time. Sec do British V See Cornwallis? To be slio’; wasn’t I here—right here— all de time? Suttenly—l see ’em all. Now, I tell you, massa! I see Gen’l Washington, and he was a settin’ ou his boss, and a catiu’ of a peach; and Cornwallis ho come out, a slippiu’ around to got away, and ho start out down de creek, and lie start to rup, but Gen’l. Washington, ho boo bun (Erectly, on’ ho started arter him;and Gen’l. Wushinton he didn’t want to take no advantage of him, so ho run well—an’ pretty soon he catch Corn wallis, an’ he catch him by do neck, and say, ‘You damn scoundril, I got you?’ But Cornwallis he turned round, and handed Mr. Gen’l. Wash ington his sword, and Geti’l Wash ington bo jest took it an’ cut his head off! See it? To be sho’ I see it. I was right here all do time, mnssu— how I gwine help see it? Jess as I tell you. Gen’l. Wastington was a setting on his boss, an’antin'of a peach—-” But it is not necessary for mo to repeat the old man’s story as often as he did. Suffice it to say that he never varied it in any particular, thus furnished 0,10 °f the best indicia of veracity and accuracy.—Fredericks burg News. The Investigations. Blaine and Kerr. From the Courier-Journal, ] Washington, June 2. —Mr. Blaine’s triends are better pleased this eve ning with the result of the investiga tion than on yesterday. They claim to have met the worst of Mulligan’s accusations and to have disproved them. Mulligan’s allegation that At kins lmd told him that Blaine was the owner of the bonds sold to the Union Pacific was this afternoon con tradicted by Air. Atkins. The trouble is that the testimony, both of Fisher and Alulligan is damaging to Mr. Blaine, unless he can produce furth er proofs. The scene in the commit tee room to-day was one of great ex citement. The subject has disp’aced all other topics. Many Democrats are of the opinion that Air. Blaine is badly damaged and that his nomina tion at Cincinnati is out of tho ques tion. The committee is dissatisfied with tho seizure of the letters which Alulligan had in his possession, and will probably seek to establish the contents by oral proof. THE WITNESS HARNEY. Harney, the calumniator of Air. Kerr, was on the witness stand for hours to-day, and was sharply cross examiaed. He is a brazen rascal, but j was led to make nrauy statements, J some false on their face, and others j which will be shown to be fa’se. He j had stated that he did not ask any- j body else than AI (In en, but Air. Sji* r hei from 1 ’enii dux Unit Harm i lien tu him in : hail told him that make four or fivo hundred dollars by getting Green appointed. Testimony ! will be adduced to contradict Harney and convict him of testifying falsely,; and to show him to possess a bad j chat'Scter; but outside of that, it is ' now generally agreed that he is a | fraud of the worst description.

[New York Sun, .Tune 2nd ] The annual meeting of the New York Woman’s Suffrage Society filled the parlors at 238 West Fourteenth street last evening. The reports of the committees showed a lively iu urging the cause of woman suf frage in many ingenious ways. Mrs. Dr. Lozier was chosen President; Mistress Sioeum, Austin, Wendt, and Freligh, Vice-Presidents; Sarah Goodyear, Corresponding Secretary; Helen Mar Cooke, Recording Secre tary; Treasurer, Miss Jeannie McAd am; and Chairwoman of the Execu tive Committee, Mrs. Grinfill Blake. The society voted that: Whereas, The republican party claims to be the party of “moral ideas” of progress, and of human freedom; therefore, Resolved, That in fulfillment of for mer pledges, and as a guarantee of future reform, it should incorporate a recommendation of the political en franchisement of the women of the country in the declaration of princi ples put forth at Cincinnati. Parallel or the Sexes. —There is an admirable partition of the quali ties between the sexes, which the au thor of our being has distributed to each with a wisdom that challenges our unbounded admiration: Man is strong—woman is beautiful. Man is daring and confident-—wo man is diffident and unassuming. Man is groat in action -woman in suffering. Man shines abroad—woman at home. Man talks to convince—woman to persuade and please. Man has a rugged heart —woman a soft and tender one. Man prevents misery—woman re lieves it. Man has science—woman has taste. Man has judgment—woman has sensibility. Man is justice—woman an angel of mercy.
