THURSDAY MORNING, MAY *3, 1878.
Democratic Meeting.
The Democracy of Chattooga County
we requested to attend a mooting of the
party in Summerville on the Ist Tuesday
in Jane next—legal sale day—to appoint
four delegates to tho Congressional con
vention, to be held in Ringgold on the 4th
of July, to nominate a candidate for this
district Let overy Democrat in the
county bo present. Como one and nil.

tiid duty or the hour.
Tho Republican party, after the last
Presidential olectkn, by forgery and per
jury, succeeded in seating their candidate
in tho chair of State, hut bv his treachery,
as they consider it, at lea* a part of the
spoils of victory have fallen into other
hands. No one who paid any attention
to their actions between November f>th,
1876, and March 4th, 1877, and saw their
willingness to resort to tho most unprin
cipled deviooa that they might retain
control of the government, can have any
doubt that, at the next general election,
they will make a desperate strugglo to
obtain a firmer hold upon that power
whioh has partly passed from them.
Tho new party, the National, is said to
be growing very rapidly, and it seems now
not at all unlikoly that, in the campaign
of 1880, their candidate for President
may receive enough votes to keep either
of the others from having a majority of
tho electoral vote. In this ease tho
election of a President will devolve upon
the Representatives who are to bo clcoled
this year. Tho republicans have already
made their calculations how they may
elect a majority of the next House, and it
must bo admitted that a few injudicious
movements on the part of the Democrats
would probably enable the Republicans to
elect their candidates in so many of the
closely balanced districts which are now
represented by Democrats elected by
small majorities, as to give them the
oontrol of the next House. Within the
last few years so much of Republican cor
ruption and extravagance have been
brought to light that it cannot be nocos
saty to resort to argument or appeal in
order to satisfy any good Democrat that
truo patriotism requires him to abstain
from doing anything which will aid them
in carrying out their plans.
In order to secure tho olcction of any
candidate, many of tho voters will no
doubt have to forego their individual
preforencos. It is important that the
enndidato should be soleoted in the way
which will show most unmistakably who
is the choice of the majority of the party.
For a few years it has been a very com
mon thing to denounce nominating con
ventions as “tricks, schemes for mislead
ing tho people, eto." Unfortunately
those who donounoe oouventions so bitter
ly have failed to suggest any other plan
which seems to be more popular. In this
they have but furnished another
proof that it is easier to tear down
than to build up. Tho opponent •of con
vontions have generally expressed them
selves in favor of primary elections. So
far us wo have had an opportunity to ob
serve tho working of the primary election
plan, tho results are not more satisfactory
than those obtained by means of eouven
tions. In the last legislative election but
otic, the choice of candidate for Senator I
from the district composed of Catoosa, !
Dade, and Walker, was left to a primary
election in Dade. The defeated candi
date claimed that the election was not
fairly conducted, and came very near
being successful in tbo final election.
Most of tho complaints about conven
tions originate in the indifference of tho
pcoplo at large. Too often only a few
attend the county conventions, and these
select the persons whom they honestly
believe to bo best qualified for tho offices,
when the selection would have boon
different, if the majority of the people
had boon there. We trust that the
people of Chattooga couuty will give no
opportunity for any one to say hereafter
ih‘ 'he convention which the Democratic
!i .ocutive Committee haveealfod for tho
purpO'o of selecting delegates to go to
Ringgold to assist in nominating a candi
date for Congress, did not properly repre
sent the Democrats of the county. Let
o li.-uioi . ■ county oe *eii
represented, and 'et every individual
Democrat feel at liberty to urge the maun
of his favorite as strongly as he pleases,,
it u/y time before the convention at
liiogg'i'J: after that convention selects a
i' lute, there is but one course to pur
; and that ifqto e ect him, if possible.
It ! not by any moans likely that all
prefer tin? same man, and before the
sele tion is authoratively made, every
one may legitimately urge the merits of
the one whom he roest. prefers: but
when the majority have selected the can
didate whom they think best, on the
whole, no true Democrat ought to hesitate
about supporting him cordially and fully.
Wo cannot look upon him who, at this
time, refuses to abide by tho aotioy gf a
convention, unless upon the most un
equivocal proofs that it did not properly
represent the sentiment of tho county or
district, as doing anything else than
giving aid and comfort to tho enemy,
though he may not so intend it.
WASHINGTON NEWS.
On the 13th inst. a bill was introduced
in the House to appoint a committee of
cloven to investigate the result of the last
Presidential election in Florida and
Louisiana. Tho Republicans opposed
this, and would not vote, thus h aving the
House, apparently, without a quorum,
ond incapable of transacting business
This state of things continued from day
today, till on the 17i!i the Democrats had
collected enough of the ahsoiHOi - to mak ■
a quorum without a single R publican
vote. The bill was then pa- * 1.
Recently Speaker Randall felt called
upon to leave tho speaker’s chair, and
make a speech, in which ho very plainly
shoved that the expenses of the govern
ru'-ot hud been steadily increasing under
Republican rule, and that whenever tho
Democrats had (lie power, they have
diminished the ex pen so. This will he
one ol tho leading issues in the Congress
denial elections this fall.
The Treasury Department lias been
making up tables showing the amount of
money olaimed by Southern men, hoping
that this wilt induce numbers to vote for
Republican candidates.
A Justice ofthe Peace in Nov York
has given a warning to the citizens who,

thy citizen was robbed of a quantity of
lend pipe, nud the police succeeded Iu ar
resting the thief and recovering the
stolon property. Thereupon the man
who was rob bud declined to prosecute,
but tho Justice decided lha' as there was
no proof of ownership of’ the property
outside of the fact thai it v is in the pos
session of the thief, h latter uu-,f *
discharged and must bo allowed to tuk
away the lead pipe. It has boon in bis
possession and he was legally entitled t . it
until proofed other ownership should be
submitted. Iftnis ru e should be more
strictly followed out by Aldermen ami
Magistrates there would bo fewer cases of
stealing “settled” outside of the court-,
and fewer to “settle” anywhere
Senator Withers, ofVirginia, displayed
wonderful norve during a recent operation,
when tho surgeons bad to cut into the in
side of tho pupil of the eye and remove
from it a particle of diseased matter. He
absolutely refused to take morphine -<r
any other anaesthetic, and, lying on a sola
with his head propped up to allow the
surgeons to reach his eye r idily, sub
mitted hiwsoif to tho shock with entire
ooinposuro. Mr. Withers not only did
not utter a sound under the knife, but did
not once wince or give any othorevidenee
of fooling pain. The exhibition of nerve
and power of will was wonderful, aud the
best results followed. The operation was
more successful than if tho patient had
been subjected to the influence of ames
t ho ties.
On the 12th of April W. 11. Weidman
had a difficulty with Henry Bunn, at
Stevenson, Ala., in the course cf which
Bunn was killed. Bunn’s son shot at
Weidman, and at the same moment
Weidman, who was directly between tho
two, shot at the father. Weidman
escaped, but was captured on the 29tl>
within two miles of Stevenson. A young
lady to whom ho is engaged went into tho
woods every day with foo l. Several at
tempts were made to follow her, hut she
always managed to evade tho pursuers.
It is now thought she had concealed him
about her lather’s house, as the woods
had beou hunted over very closely, and
that she went into tho woods to avert
suspicion of his true hiding place.
John O’Connor, an Ohio legislator, was
charged with being a deserter, a bounty

body voted to inquire into the charges

EUROPEAN NEWS.
j Preparations for war are going on more
I rapidly in England than for sometime
I back. They arc putting their weapons
into serviceable condition, and fitting up
mci chant vessels for armed cruisers.
They are also moving troops from India:
I some (o Malta, and some to the immediate
I neighborhood of the Russian army in
j Asiatic Turkey.
The discussions on this :-uhjoet in the
| IJritish parliament do not show much op
position to the course of tho government.
In Russia tubscriptions aro open for
building a navy. The government has
lately borrowed 50,000,000 roubles from
Berlin bankers. Russian officers aro at
t ..mpting to enforce a general conscription
throughout Bulgaria. This caused great
dissatisfaction. Russian troops are con
tinually passiog to tho scene of the late
hostilities, many of them raw recruits.
The English aud Russian governments
are now negotiating directly with each
other, and both seem to be intent upon
finding, if possible, some plan for an
amicable settlement. Ilitherto the nego
tiations havo been conducted through the
German government.
Turkish refugees front places outside of
Bulgaria can now return to their homes
Russian soldiers will accompany them and
put them in possession, but Turkey will
pay the expenses.

riilistria, Varna, Rustchuk, Sbumi , and
Batoum, but no time was specified.
Recently the Russians sent officers to
Shumla and Varna to demand the sur
render of those places, 'flic Turkish
oommandors replied that they had received
no orders to that effect. The Russians
have since taken up a position between
the two forts. Tho Turks say that they
are not bound by tiie treaty to surrender
these fortresses until tho Russians with
draw beyond Adrianoplo, and the Rus
sians claim that they are under no obliga
tion ti> withdraw till the fortresses aro
surrendered. The inhabitants of the
cuuntry around Batoum refuse to be
transferred to Russia, and propose to
resist with arms, but profess to be willing
to pay a ransom to Russia, provided they
can be allowed to remain under the
government of Turkey. An insurrection
broke ont in the southwestern provinces
of Turkey soon after the treaty was signed,

Count Hhouvuloflf, Itu ianeiubassad r
to London, not long since went to St.
Petersburg I was of course supposed
ohat his visit nad reference to sotuo plan
of settling the difficulties, but though it
j hits been sometime since ho reached St.
! Petersburg, nothin definite is known, out
{ side of the immediate officers of the
j government, about the course which he
! recommended or the influence which
I those recommendations had sn the gov-
I eminent. It is said to be the hdief in St.
Petersburg that ho succeeded in con
vincing the government that it is best to
concede most of what Hngland demands.
If this is correct, it is probable that the
question will he settled without war.

I cannot refiain from referring for a

delivered in the Senate last Tuesday, be
cause it is one of the few speeches uurfe
bore this winter on National finances that
will have a permanent value. While the
courtesy that marks Senator Gordon’s
bearing under all circumstances was ob
served throughout the speech, that did
not °crvo to detract from tho force of his
scathing arraignment of thoso responsible
for the financial legislation of tho past 10
years, which be denounced as the remote
rul proximate cause of all the ills we
have suffered since 1-73. Contraction he

were deserted by the usual habitue*, and
filled by a critical audience, such as might
he expected to be interested in finances.
He had it with him throughout. Of all
Southern Representatives, none have
stood higher than Gen. Gordon from tho
moment he first entered the Senate, then
best known as a commander of ono wing
of Lee's anur, and a the confidential
triend of that great captain. I commend
his full speed) to all who desire a clear
prest-ntariou of tho financial problem of
to-day, free of the verbiage and abstrac

a “financial speech. ”
Sitting Bull’s threats receive some at
