At the request of a large number of the citizens of Upson county, a convention of the county is called, to be held at the Court House, on Saturday, the first day of Oc tober next, for the purple of nominating a candidate for the House of Representatives A general attendance on the part of the -people is earnestly urged, that the deliber ations of the convention may be harmonious and the result satisfactory. Come one, come all! The convention, when it assembles, will determine the manner of selecting a candi date, but it is suggested by a great many citizens that the selection be made by bal lot. . CONVENTIONS. At a meeting of the Democrats of Upson county, held at the Court Ilouse, in Thom nston, on Saturday, the 13th ult., the fol lowing gentlemen were chosen delegates to attend the convention to be held in.Talbot ton, on the 15th inst., to nominate a candi date for the Senate from the 25th Senatorial District: Thos. S. Sharman, J. 0. Hunt, Jas. W. Atwater, J. 0. Zorn, D. W. Wom ble, and 11. T. Jennings.

It exists among those j high in position, among those enjoying the | emoluments of office. If ever there were ; trembling and abject slaves in the land, the leaders ot the opposition are such. The Workingmen are their masters, the Germans are their masters,Temperance organizations are their masters, but the most exacting masters of all are the Negroes. Just at this time John Schmidt and friends are to be flattered, patted on the back, given sugar plums by these slaves to secure Schmidt’s aid and comfort, or, in other words, his voto. Illustration—the Address of the Republican Central Committee of New York, to the Germans of the United States. Two or thre@ weeks since these slaves tried the experiment with Sambo in Ten nessee, Kentucky and North Carolina. The result is known to everybody. He could not save them from a severe whipping in the latter two States and did not very ma terially lessen the blows in the first named one. Wendall Phillips is at this moment on his knees before the Good Templars of Massachusetts. This skillful cajoler will work to no good purpose either to himself or party. Notwithstanding the effort by this prominent Radical to bring to the sup port of tottering Radicalism the temperance men of the country, the Democratic vote in Massachusetts —this man’s home—will be greatly increased. Mark our word. THE STATE ROAD. The Joint Committee of the Legislature appointed to investigate the affairs of this road, in their report recommended an ap propriation at once , in order that it might be put in a condition of safety, and a bill has been, or soon will be. introduced for this purpose. Surely tho road cannot have been used to such an extent during the quiet summer, or since Gov. Bard received that somewhat famous letter from Foster Blodgett, as to make it a matter of urgent necessity that an appropriation, a large appropriation of money, be made by the Legislature that it may be fully repaired and rendered safe. At the time this letter we speak of was written, every Republican sheet in this part of the country labored to prove through double-leaded “leaders,” communications, etc., that in stock, road bed, bridges, etc., it was surpassed by no other road in the country. Now that Blodgett is called upon by E. W. Cole. President of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, to equip the road immediately, the more safely and expedi tiously to transport the heavy freight of fall, winter and spring, the latter publishes a letter in which he admits that the road has been doing a heavy business, but that he has not been able to pay into the State Treasury as large sums as he might, as re ceipts were consumed in payment for stock and material for the road ! If the line has done a heavy business as the Captain says it has, money has certain ly been made, and if it has been made, where is it ? Little or nothing has reached the Treasury, and if it has been expended on the road, how comes it that the road is in such a shocking condition as to compel Col. Cole to call the attention of its Super intendent to it, as being unfit for the trans portation of life and goods ? Attorney-General Akerman, says tho Philadelphia Age, favors an election in Georgia this fall, and a coolness has already sprung up between him and the President on this point. Gen. Grant works in the Bullock team, and cannot slip the yoke. Tiiere are twenty-five vacancies to be filled in the Senate of tho Forry-second C.ngresn by elections, A Noble Benefaction. —The Trustees of the Louisville Medical College, (Louisville, Ky ) have created one of the most liberal and r.ohlc benefactions ever conferred by a public institution upon any people. The trustees of this college have instituted one Beneficiary Scholarship for each Congress ional District in the Southern and sur rounding States. By thin means very many poor but deserving young men will be enabled to obtain a thorough medical education. Any young man wishing to take advantage of this Benefaction has only to write the Representative of the Congress ional District in which he resides, or to the President of the Medical Society of his State, or to Dr. E. S. Gaillard, Dean of the Faculty of the Louisville Medical College, Louisville, Ky., when he will receive full information of all that it is necessary for him to do to secure one of these Scholar ships. With proper and welcome delicacy the names of those who have secured the Beneficiary Scholarships will be known only to the Dean of the Faculty. It is un necessary to commend those who have e-tabli.-hed these noble Beneficiary Scholar ship. Their act will bring them commen dations wherever it is known. DEMOCRATIC MEETING. Pursuant to a previous cal), a large num ber of the citizens of Upson met at the Courthouse, on Saturday, the 27th ult., to appoint delegates to the Congressional Convention to be hold at Forsyth, on the 15th of September next, to nominate a candidate to represent the Fourth Con gressional District of Georgia, in the next United States Congress. On motion of Thos. S. Sharman, Judge T. A. D. W T eaver, was called to the chair, and 11. T. Jennings requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman briefly explained the ob ject of the meeting. On motion of Thos. S. Sharman, the Chair appointed Judge Thos. S. Sharman, John I. Hall, Win, T. Respess. Dr. E. A. Flewellen, Jas. W. Atwater, B. G. McKen nev, and James VV. Hightower, as a com mittee to select delegates to said Conven tion. The committee retired and after an absence of a few minutes returned and reported the names of Dr. E Flewellen and Wm. T. Weaver, as delegates arid Wilson Sawyer and B. G. McKenney as alternates. W T hich ieport was unanimously adopted. The committee also suggested that this meeting appoint a day on which to nomin ate a candidate to represent Upson county in the lower House of the next General Assembly. On motion it was ordered that said nom ination take place on Saturday the first day of October next. On motion the Georgia Herald was requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting. The meeting then adjourned. T. A. D. WTeaver, Chairman. 11. T. Jennings, Secretary. THE LATE REV. JACOB KING. Communicated. Atlanta, Aug. 29, 1870. Mr. Editor: —The above name should, and will ever live in the mind and heart of many—very many, in yours as well as the adjoining counties of Georgia—and indeed wherever this truly great and good name was known—his name should and will be handed down to posterity as one of the most remarkable men of his age. Although I differ widely from his denomination upon some of their peculiar doctrines (non-essen tial 1 mean) which found in him one of their aides and most zealous advocates— while I differed with him in doctrine yet, I loved him for his sincerity and devotion— earnest devotion to his church as well as to any and every cause which he espoused. He never slevt while on duty. llis keen conception of men aud things ; his earnest and burning desire for the convertion of souis and the promotion of his church in all of her interests, made him a power in the land. I have heard it charged that “Uncle Jacob” was too sectarian and uncharitable toward other churches. Perhaps he was rather ultra, not for the want of a pure • mind and heart, I must insist, but as a natural sequence of the man’s zeal in a cause which he believed with all his mind and heart. He was not a negative but a decidedly positive character—such an one could not have been otherwise than seeming hj ultra. llis impress was left upon every thing which be touched. If he owned a horse —that animal loved and obeyed him ; if he owned a servant that servant love 1 and respected him ; if he had a neighbor, that neighbor loved and honored him. In all that pertained to his character I consider him one of the most remarkable men I ever ; knew. Raised as I was under his ministry, I thought I knew and appreciated him. Since his death I have studied his charac ter and life, and find that I did not then understand and realise his true worth, nor did the people of good old Upson county— I they do now. Mr. Editor, the object of this note is to suggest that the oitizeos his old friends, should erect over his grave at the site of Bethesea Church, of which he was pastor for 25 or 30 years, a monument worthy the memory of the man. It can be done. Let it cost SI,OOO at least. There ere certainly one hundred men who will give SIO,OO each lam ready to respond. What say y>u of Upson ? Respectfully, M ARSON. Thomaston Jefferson SrEEit, who rep -1 resents Pike eounty in the Georgia Legisla ' ture, says he wants to ride in the same car j with niggers, and has introduced a bill in the Legislature compelling public carriers ■ to provide equal accommodations for all, 1 without regard to race or color. POLITICAL NOTES. R bert Bonner is suggested for Governor of New York. A Win. McNally is trying to get Fernan do Wood’s place in Congress. State Senator J. T. Walls, a colored man, has be*»n nominated for Congress by the Republicans of FI irida. A candidate for Congress in Arkansas went to that State as “Bones” in a minstrel show. The Nashville Banner hoists to its mast head the name of Gen. J. C. Brown for Governor. The election in Utah has resulted in the success of the Brigham \ouog party. It is stated the Mormon womeu generally voted. The Irish Central Republican Club, of New York, has nominated Horace Greeley for Governor. “Down with the party that refuses sim - ple jsutice to the men who fought for the Union !” is one of the cries raised in the North against the Radicals. When d*ath occurs from natural causes in Tennessee, it is customary to append to the newspaper notice the words—“ Politics had no agency in the difficulty.” John A. Wimpey, so called Congress from one of the districts of X'>rHr Georgia, and who figured as a self-consti tuted counterfeit detective a few months ago. has been charged with forgery in con nection with pensions. “Uvt-'.i i.iidi c*c Gum this our feed?” New Jersey has a Justice of the Supreme Court, a Cabinet officer, the first Postmaster generalship and now the first foreign missions is offered to Senator Frel inghuysen, of New Jersey, in place of the historian, Motley. Nearly 90,000 native Americans are dis franchised in Missouri alone ; principally, it is said, through the instrumentality of German Radicals. Many of these Germans fled from despotism abroad to help despot ism in Missouri. Are such things calcula ted to make Southern men sympathize with the Germans in their European struggle? When Gov. Walker, of Virginia, aban doned the Radical party in Virginia and took sides with the moderate Virginia par ty, he took up his line of march to the Democratic camp. He will either land there or stultify himself. There is no middle ground in this internecine political battle ; no half way house in which to air one’s vanity or sport his platitudes. llp who is not for the white Democracy is against it. It is that the white Lieutenant Governor and the bhek Secretary of State of Mississippi are blackmailing all the county officers recently appointed by Gov. Alcorn. They are sending out circulars demanding from each appointee five dollars to keep up the Republican party. The oi l adage that “those who dance, must pay the fiddler,” is being verified in the case of Radical clerks and office-holders in tbe State as well as national government. The Radicals are more and more deter mined to make a desperate effort to recover New York, and their ch es hope is the Ger man vote. Neither Mr. Conkling nor any other Radical leader would care a pin for Prussia if it did not happen that there are about two hundred thousand German voters in the State, and that the party needs as many voters from this class as it can get. At tne last election it was left in a minori ty ot nearly a hundred thousand, partly by the defection of Germans who had become disgusted with its intolerance. To win these back, and also get the votes of Ger mans who have hitherto sustained the De« tnocracy, the managers now give their noisy sympathy to the cause that excites and draws the patriotism of the German element. The six Chinese companies have not yet replied to the cool document forwarded to them by the President of the Anti-Coolie League, in which their attention was called to the advisability of keening out of the way of an indignant populace. But they have addressed a letter to the President and Secretary of State, enclosing a copy of the communication, and set'ing forth in extenso the mariner in which Chinamen are treated here by a portion of the white rssidents, and calling upon them to see that they are pro tected, as the treaty existing between China and the United States says they shall. In addition, a convention of Chinese has been called, and delegates from all points of the Srate are expected to be present, when the Chinese question will bethoroughly discuss ed from a Chinese standpoint, and the con clusions arrived at furnished to Washing ton. Washington accounts state that there is the best authority for saving that there is no foundation in fact for the late stories of Cab ret reconstnction. Neither the nrssion to Berlin nor that to London has been offer ed to Secre ary Cox. The President has given no intimation of a desire to change any of the present Cabinet. These stories relate chiefly to the Interior Department. It is now known that they originated and have since been persistently circulated by persons acting in the inteiests of several Indian and land rings that have of ate been badly defeated. The same persons who have been palming their statements off on the press with a view to create an impress ion that a change was probable, have at the same time been pulling political wires to secure the desired result. In a word, the whole thing is an attempt to break down the administration of the Interior Depart ment.

The eff >rt to do this has not, as yet, extend ed beyond an isolated point or two in Ten nessee and Mississippi, and it is there thought that the move is simply a Radical device to keep the Conservative elements from uuiting in one solid mass against the party. Os course, this is the correct expla j nation, but our friends the enemy, are hard [ pushed when thus going down among the dead men for aid.’’ SYNOPSIS OF TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. DOMESTIC.

Paris, Aug. 27.—The assertion of the corresp' ndent of the Daily News that the Garde Mobile is composed of children un der 18 is untrue. Every member is from 20 to 25 years old. I There are now in Paris 15,000 sheep, 40, 'OOO hogs, and 25,000 beeves. In case ot a siege, the authorities will pi event un reasonable prices tor the necessaries of life. The Times, reviewing Prussia’s resourc es, says: Three armiea of reserves are formed to await events —one on the Rhine, under Duke Mecklenburg Sehweren ; one at Berlin, under General Canstain, and one at Silesia, under General Forrentzerg. The northern movement of McMahon is fully confirmed. Large reinforcements were sent from Paris by the Northern rail way for McMahon’s army. The tactics of McMahon appears to be to gather up broken corps and thereby swell his ranks, then sweep along the border of Belgium, avoiding a battle, and make a junction with Metz from the north. It successful, this will cut Prussian connec tions at Shanold. This is supposed to be the policy Paliako, hinted at in the Corns a few days ago. The Juurnale de France learns from a certain source that before ordering the Prince Royal to march on Paris, the King held a council of war, composed ot the Generals and Princes commanding the Prussian forces. The advice of all was to remain in the territory conqured, and forti fy the right bank of the Moselle. The Government, with a strange lack of forethought, had constantly refused to arm the people of Alsatia, Lorraine, and Cham pagne, thus betraying a lack of confidence in the people which had cost the country dear. Had the peasants, who were good marksman, been armed, the army of the Prussian Prince Royal would not have easi ly crossed the Vosges, where our men con cealed would have so harassed them, and France would not have been compelled to abandon her second line ot defence. London, Aug 29 — It was. Bismarck who ordered no halt on the m trch to Paris. The King acquiesced, though the Generals advi.sed looking for McMahon first, and Paris afterwards. Nearly 900,000 men are now in a triangle formed by Rheims, Rothei arid Vouz.ers. Bazaine is not shut up. lie has 120,000 men. McMahon has 180,000 men marching on Prince Royal, who is two days ahead of Frederick Ch rles. it is hoped that the latter cannot come up in time. Fifty thous and troops left Paris for Rethel on Monday. It is stated that the Prussian tureo is 500,000. Paris, Aug. 51. Parisians of all ranks are enrolled tor defense. Britany will soon send an immense number of volunteers to the army. A legion of foreigners is organizing here. Thirty thousand persons have entered Paris from the neighboring country. The police have been organized into reg iments-. The Opinion Nationale demandsas Prus sians shoot country people, France sh><uld teach Prussia that if the practice coiWnues, she will take no prisoners, and the war be come one of extermination. Peasants along the line are seriously an noying the invaders. The march of the Prussians on Paris seems to be arrested. The forced marches of the Crown Prince have used up many of his men. Thousands were transported in carts, and thousands were left behind. The Prussians are ordered to camp as far as possible from the recent battle-fields, on account of the poisonous exhalations. Four hundred French Arabs captured and taken to Germany, escaped and return ed to France. Changes in New England.— Os late years, two transitions have been go ng on in the New England States, silently and steadily, which seem destined, at no very distant period, to work an entire oblitera tion of the ancient characteristics of the people of that region. The one is religious, and the other social Either bv natural reaction or by the advanced assertion of the principle of freedom of conscience, —and which, we will not pretend to say,—a very large proportion of the people have aban doned the tenets of ascetic Calvinism and have taken to other doctrines One hun dred years ago, nine-tenths of the popula tion were avowedly strict adherents of the Saybrook Platform, and every public so cial observance was made to conform to it ; to-day we doubt if the same can truly be said of one-tenth. We believe that there is now among the native population of New England more of what Jonathan Edwards would have called “abominable heresy in matters of religious faith and action” than can be found among any other people of equal number in the Northern States. Without indicating any opinion as to tho merits of this change, we refer to it simply as a curious fact. An Imp rtant Decision. —The Supreme Court of Georgia, a few days ago, announc ed a decision virtually annulling the sus pensions of the Stutire of Limitations ; made between 1861 and T 865. The Columbus Enquirer understands that the effect of the decision is to bar all notes due on or before the 31st of October, 1858 ; also all account- due two years later. The court only recognizes a suspension of ] one year made just before the war, consid ering supensions made during the war as war measures, and holding them to be void. The ordinance of the convention of 1865 was held not to retract so as to give validi ty to former suspensions. As the statute bars notes overdue for six years, and as the suspension of one year (1869) was held to be legal, the effect of the decision is to bar recovery on notes tha* had run after be coming due seven years up to 31et October, 1865. OLD FRANK BLATR ON TIIE POLITI CAL SITUATION. Frank Dla - r Sr., i* one of the oldest, and is considered by some the most sagacious politiean in this country, An inteiviewer of the New York IhraU has pumped him, with the following result as to the platform on which the Democratic party can succeed in the Presidential election ot lSr2: Correspondent—Did I understand you to say that you thought the Democratic party could win the next Presidential cam paign by direct action, in spite of the at tempt to employ military intimidation over a portion of the country ? Mr. Blair-—Yes, sir ; I said so. I belie?** that notwithstanding the vast power in the hands of the Republican party, the oppo sition, if given the right direction and guided by wise counsels can w in. Correspondent —In what way? What platform would you suggest? Mr. Biair—As to a platform, I think the Constitution as it was would be the best that could be adopted. 1 mean the old Consti tution with slavery extinct. That is the platform which I would advise. Our fathers made it, our flourished and grew prosperous under its provisions, and it is still ample, in my judgment, for our Gov ern me it and people. There is no and übt that when our fathers framed the old Consti - tution their wish was to prevent a central ization of power. The Republicans have disregarded that evident design. They have violated the old Constitution. Many of their laws are in conflict wirh it, like those as.-uming to regulate the right of suffrage, taking the subject away from the States entirely. 2he right of suffrage is a matter which clearly belongs to the States. Each State is entitled to decide for itself who shall vote within its own limits for the Pres ident of the United States, There never was a question on that point. Old Ihad Stevens , the leader of the Radical party, ad mitfed it himself, and acknowledged they had to go outside the Constitution, it was never intend that the power should be usurped by Congress. There can be no substitute for ; the Constitution : we can have no succeed - ! aneiitn for it. The Democratic or opposition party ought to go for the restoration of the old Constitution, with someone as a leader who has a constitutional record as a Union man. In that way they could win against Grant and all the military influence, / don't think there is weight of character enough in Grant or any otaer man to resist the mighty popular avabinche which would sioeep over the country should the opposition party manage their campaign in the manner I explain I told them this truth long ago, and wanted to get Grant to be their candi date. He was a Democrat. 1 know from his record that his feelings were on that side until Congress passed the militaiy bill which maghim military dictator over the South, and placed in his hands the power to make himself President. Then he went over to the Radicals. The Democrats made the same mistake in the last campaign by nominating a man whose Union record was in d> übt. They put the cart before the horse in making their nominations. I saw it immediately, and wanted them to let Frank withdraw. They sent him an invi tati »n to make speeches, and I went on to New York and saw Tilden. I told him it was no use asking Frank to bpeak, lorFrank w mid be to m ike speeches in harmo ny with the letter he had written, and the resolution adopted bv the convention. The result w u!d ha that Seynu ur would make one kind of speech and Blair the opposite. I told Fi I den that it would not have a ben eficial eff et. and asked them to allow me to withdraw him from the field. But Til den and the rest would not consent, and F'-ank remained in the field — Mobile Reg ister. TWO 11EMS. Boston Post. The Address of the C mgressional Repub lican Committee made an ostentatious <lis- ! play of a fact which Republican newspa pers have been repeating with avidity for some time past, namely, that there has been and excess of revenues in the first year of Gen. Grant’s Administration, as compared with the previous year, of sav $40,000 < 00, and a saving in expenditures of about $65,- 000,000 The statement is repeated with exulting cmfilence, by the Republican journals, as being confirmed by the official exhibit of the receirts arid expenditures during the fiscal year just ended. 'Hie studied and rapturous exultation of the Republican party over facts like these is significant of political bankruptcy, and shows to what straws a party will cling, to what shifts it will resort, to restore lost capi tal and revive expiring prestige and power. The revenue, both from customs and from internal sources, ha*of course been enhanc ed by the revival and increase of business and the natural development of the national resources, and in spite of the Republican policy of no abatement of internal taxation and no rebaternent of high-tariff dues. But how palpably absurd if is to talk of the agency of the Administration in the matter, when that agency has been conspicuously and persistently exercised in such woiks of omis-dnn and commission as were well cal culated to defeat such an end. The surplus oj receipts of which ih-'se boasts are made has been wrung from the people by tax ition which the result shews to have been need less and unjust. The credit taken to the Republican party in this Address for abolishing slavery, is another specimen of the efforts of its man agers to obtain capital under false pretences. Slaveiy was abolished by military order, not as a measure of party or even of Con gressional policy. It was done by the spe cific order of the Commande.r-in-Ch ief of Union armies as such, and not simply as the President of the United States. It was strictly a war measure, taken in a stress of circumstances, with a view to gain an ad vantage over the enemy, and not as a point of morals. To make the pretension now that was a great moral step, designed arid announced from the beginning, is sheer falsehood by men who deal in it for person al profit. Mr. Lincoln removed at least two of his Generals for countenancing emancipation ; he opposed it, before a dep utation of Chicago citrgvmen who came to urge him in its favor; and he published a letter in the Tribune, in which be told its editor that he should save, the Union, if he could, without em incipating a single slave. Where, then, does the great glory come from to the Republican party, for doing what was accomplished against its own solemn declarations in 1861, and by the military hand alone?
