COUNTY CONVENTION.
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 purpose 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 1
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.
In the House on Tuesday last, a bill to
incorporate the Indian Springs Railroad
Company was read the third time and pass*
ed.
Stuart L. Woodford, is the name of the
Republican candidate for Governor of New
York who is to be beaten by the Democratic
candidate—the present Governor Hoffman.
A huge vote is expected.
Gen. P. M. B. Young, of Bartow, is the
candidate for Representative to Congress
from the Seventh District. Gen. Young is
represented as a strong roan, politically,
and will call out the full vote of the party.
The Republicans are dubious over the
prospects of the party in Alabama, Louisi
ana and Arkansas. They admit that intes
tine discussions and other causes are likely
to damage, and probably defeat them,
“horse, foot and dragoon.”
The President of the State Demorcratici
Convention, Gen. A. 11. Colquitt, has issued
a call for the State Democratic Executive
Committee to meet in Macon on Thursday
next, the 27th instant, to elect a chairman
to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Judge Linton Stephens.
Horace Greeley’s friends charge the
Woodford men with defeating the philos
opher at the recent Republican State Con*
vention at Saratoga, through bribery. The
name of Woodford has been sadly mixed
up with these charges, and he has been
called upon to resign, to satisfy the people
that be was not a pai ty to the fraud.
QUERY.
In the even t of the passage of the Electron
Bill, now pending in the lower branch of
tbe Legislature, would it not be a wise
policy to decline making any nomination
in the county Convention, in order that
time may be given the members of the
State Central Executive Committee, to meet
and determine upon a course of action to be
persued ? We understand that this is to be
done, or has already been done, in several
counties in the State. We wish to secure
concert of action.
Toe New Era makes the following nom
inations for the Presidential campaign of
1872. For President, Ulysses S. Grant;
\ ice- President, Amos T. Akerman ; and
offere the following as its ticket for 1870
subject to the Nominating Conventions of
its party: First District, John W. CTNeal,
of Lowndes; Second District, Richard H.
Whiteley, of Decatur; Third District, James
Johnson, of Muscogee; Fourth District,
George Wallace, of Baldwin; Fifth District,
Ishatn Fannin, of Morgan : Sixth District,
W. R. Bell, of Banks; Seventh District,
James L. Dunning, of Fulton.
The latest developed phase of Radical
fairness and honesty is the system of‘bolt
ing’ adopted by Radical members of Legis
lature. It is a devilish species of partial
men tary ingenuity, seldom resorted to but
by bad men, who take this method to retard
or prevent legitimate aotion. Many times
within the past fortnight this has been done
and business seriously interrupted. The
bolt of a large number of legislators tbe
other day when the matter of seating two
Democratio Representatives elect, come up,
vra« a cowardly and oontempt'ble act, but
perfectly in keeping with legislation carri
ed out since the incoming of Radicalism.
In anticipation of the coming State eleo*
tions, those secret organizations known as
‘Loyal Leagues,’ are preparing for work.
This verifies an assertion we have repeated
ly made—that our opponents are well and
thoroughly organized. We must do the
same rs we would enter with any prospect
of success. On Tuesday the 20tb, the Na
tional Executive Committee of tbe Union
League, met at tbe 6t. Nicholas Hotel in
New York, at which Gov. Geary, of Penn
sylvania presided. “Reports of a satisfac
tory nature weie made from several State*
in regard to the coming elections. Certain
detail* of a secret nature were perfected, de
signed to give effect to legislation in behalf
of a fair (?) election recently enacted by
Congress.” The Southern States we re
ported to be “in a satisfactory condition/’
In suggesting tbe propriety of organizing
ourselves, we must not bo understood as
advocating or countenancing secret associa
tions, such a oourse is impolitic, and in the
end, dangerous. Let us organize, but let
it not bo done in dark closets or at midnight
hours.

The following extract which we clip from
the Boston Post illustrates tbe beauty of
Radical rule in South Carolina. We re
commend its perusal by those who prate so
much of 'equal rights,’ ‘free ballot,’ etc.:
A late South Carolina paper furnishes us
with an example of the Radical method of
conducting the present election campaign,
which gives an idea of the practical bless
ings of the franchise as enjoyed by the
freedmen, and shows the way in which loy
al leaguers attempt to win votes. A color
ed man by the name of Martin, who had the
temerity to suppose that the Fifteenth
Amendment gave him the right to think
and vote according to tbe dictates of his
own judgmantand conscience, undertook to
sympathize with the Reform party, haying
the good sense to perceive that Radicalism,
under the Scott rule, was every day increas
ing the burdens of taxation and oppression
under which the people of the State, black
as well as white, are suffering. Martin be
ing an intelligent man, had done much to
wards enlightening his colored brethren,
and had rendered other good service in the
cause of reform. The dogs of tbe Radical
war were consequently let loose upon him,
and on a recent occasion be was assaulted
and narrowly escaped with his life. A
gang of Radicals waylaid l biro as he was
returning from church at night, charging
him with being “a d—d Democratic nigger,
who was assisting the white people to re
store slavery,” and threatened to kill him,
unless be would promise to forsake the Re
form party, which he would not do. He
managed to escape, but was shot at, fortun
ately without injury: The assailants were
subsequently arrested and committed to jail,
but afterwards released through the inter
cession of a Radical colored justice of the
peace, who went personally to tbe Radical
colored jailer and demanded that the pris
oners should be set at large. And, upon a
pretence of some sort, Martin himself was
afterwards arrested and required to give
bail in the sura of SSOO, which he foand no
difficulty in doing.
This is the kind of freedon which the
freedmen enjoy under Mr. Sumner’s “E
ploribus unum” guarantee cf a republican
form of government. The argument which
the Radical negroes who assaulted and
would have murdered Martin were taught
to repeat, that it is the plan of the Demo
crats when they have the power, to restore
slavery, is a favorite one at the South, with
unprincipled carpet-bag politicians, and is
naturally enough extensively effectual in
holding the ignorant blacks who have just
escaped from physical pondage in a still
worse form of slavery to the Radical party.
The following It section 1 of the Election
Bill as agreed opon by the Repoblioan
State Central Committee, and endorsed by
Attorney-General Akerman:

“Thirty Years’ War.” —A Bounty.—
The American Agriculturist will, on Janu

unceasing war upon ignorance, poor crops,
unprofitable labor, poor housekeeping,
humbugs, etc, etc., and the Publishers
issue a call for still further recruits to their
immense standing army. Tbe Bounty of
fered is a free gift of all the rest of this
year’s volume to subscribers for 1871,
coming in now. Any person subscribing
this month, will thus get the paper for 15
months at the price of 12. We advice
every person, not a subscriber, to fall in
with the offer. No cheaper or more valua
ble journal is published in the world, for
tbe Household, for the Garden, for the Farm
—in City, Village, or Country. It is full
of information for every one—is most
beautifully illustrated with a very large
number of the finest engravings, which are
both pleasing and instructive, and its ample
pages are prepared by a strong corps of
able, intelligent, practical persons, who
know what they write about.—Tbe terms
are only $1 50 a year ; foor copies for $5 ;
ten copies for sl2, or $1 each for clubs of
twenty. These prices are good for 15
months now. Probably nowhere else can
so much of real valoe be obtained for so
little money. The Publishers are Orange

Selma, September 21.—Ben. Turner n

point of intellectual ability the District
could not do better; but we doubt if our

within the walls of Paris, thus carrying out
an old military trick.

Uhlans have been captured, all of whom

The Economist has a very strong article
in favor of peace. It says the very object

Morgan, the Mississippi State Senator
who married a yellow girl named ilighgate,
did not receive an ovation upon his arrival
at Cleveland, from whence he hailed, and
where there is a degree of ignorance about
him altogether, that is Stygian in its durk
uess. The Cleveland Herald remarks :
There are none here who look upon such
a marriage as a match that should command
admiration, while it is so emphatically the
groom’s own private affair as to preclude
any demonstration of disgust. The people
in the former slave States have yet to learn
that miscegenation is regarded with much
less favor in the old free States than in the
Southern sections, where contact and inter
course between whites aud blacks are more
general.
Tiie endorsement of a ‘free trade’ plank
in the Republican State Convention at
Springfield, on the Ist inst, is evidence that
the good, old Democratic ‘lever’ is working.
That the people can no longer be held in
alliance to the protection partiality of the
republican party. The leaders and thick
sters of radicalism know very well that
‘free trade’ stands no chance whatever with
the party at large, and that the endorsement
by them of such a document in New Eng
land or Pennsylvania, would be certain de
feat, and that in their party caucuses at
Washington, by their representations that
Mr. Logan would not dare to whisper of a
reduction of the tariff; yet in their State
convention, in Illinois, they can afford to
impose on the credulity of their party by
the endorsement of so true a doctrine, and
if we did not know, as every political stud
ent knows, that that plank was adopted as
buncombe to deceive the ‘free trade’ voters of
Illinois. The adoption of that resolutii n
places the party in a very unenviable posi
ion; in a preceeding resolution they endorse
the record of the party, that party, who en
acted and have maintained by a strict party
vote, the very tariff now so onerous to the
people and they, in the following resolution
condemning what they have previously en
dorsed. Such action is worse than incoi •*
