Into Zilne Wiiool I
that a majority of tho white people in
this Stale favored Gov. Colquitt’s re-
elvction, and we do not believe it now.
[Great applause.] We said then, and
we say still, tfiat the,'majority which
be got in this oonveution' was purely
lictiii- ms, that it was brought about
by a peculiar campaign made by him
and General Gordon. Now, I will
mention i fact io you, and I menlioi
it t<> sljow you how thj&,utujoritymay
not have been fairly secured by Gov.
Colquitt. There was a meeting held
Washington county, which ap
pointed Jester delegates. Sometime
at'tvT.tbal a few citizens pronosed to
have another. im eting.. Whether
they had bad any ‘eoinmwiication
with Atlanta or not I'do uot know.
Laughter.] Ol <t aurse they had not
Renewed laughter.] But three
layH before that convention was held
Go ernor Colquitt and Gen. Gordon
appiared in the county and made
pet-clies, aud General Gordon, misled
y a misstatement ol Col. Avery, the
private Secretary of the Governor,
about Col. Le-ter’s attitude on tin
North Eastern Bond business, made
the statement that s-one of the men
who had advised Governor Colquitt
to endorse those b nds were now
scandalizing him for it, and among
that number was Rufus E- Lester of
Savannah. Now, I wish yon to
bear in mind another fact. Gen
Gordon was uot knowingly making
misstatement, but the. truth is that
Col. L-'ster advised egaim-t the
dorsement, and wrote a loiter to D
arllun that Governor Colquitt had
o right to endorse them. When
they had been endorsed, however, and
the question was brought up in the
legislature, and charges were made
against Governor Colquitt, and the
Governor demanded an investigation,
Hon. Rufus E Lester was one of the
first men who stepped forward and
took the front rank io his delense.
[Applause.] He advised against the
endorsemei.t, bnt belicvintr that it
was not done with on impure motive
he defended him. But while Gen.
Gordon was making that statement
to those people Governor Colquitt
was sitting there and heard it all and
he left there without denying a word
of it. The result was that Colquitt
delegates were elected. The first
were Lester delegates and ihe second
were tor Colquitt. Ilowr was that
change brought about J Was it
squarely and tairly done? Do men
usually sit by and nllpw Ihcir friends
to be victims of misstatements and
then take the benefit of the result ?
That is the way -Colquitt manufac
tured sentiment. And here 1 would
like Co!. Tkoippsoo to tell us in the
Meriting Mews to-morrow in what
part of the Bible can lie find a justi
fication by Holy-Writ of the net .of a
gentleman who can stand by and bear
a statement made in Ins own behalf
and toy his interest, knowing it to be
false, Without correcting it Certain
ly not in the golden rule—“Do unto
o.heis as y.ou would .have theifidootu
to you.’’
I state these facts that yjpu may
know why we.claim that thu.-auuoriiy
was not a fair expression of the opin
ion of the people of ihis Suue aiy" “
lieve it unless .the peo' L
rconvention and.g major
After Mr Norwood had concluded
his great speech‘in Savannah the
other night, and had taken hi* seat
tha audience compliineuted him with
round upon round of applause.
Col. Lester was then vociferously
called for, and, responding, was greet
ed most enthusiastically. He said:
'-Fellow -d’izens, it will not be ex
pected ot me to make » speech after
the extend d address of the distin-
tinguisbed speaker who baa just closed.
The lateness of theheur and the fact
that there are other delegates whom
youmay wish to hear from, precludes
that, I ain hens to-night as a simple
Deinocra', one of the rank abd file
[applause], aud I expect to remain in
that honorable position for many days
and >ears to coine. Tim little ambition
that may have been fostered by friends-
bas beg!! quieted by the remltsof the
convention, the history ol which lias
just been told you. I was not so anx
ious or ambitious to secure the place
which you kiudly Bought to confer
upon me, and,’ my friends, look in my
face, and no mailer what newspapers
say, you will not believe that I would
have co seated to block the whee sof
the convention. [Loud applause.]
The position of the JDoinccrctie party
is anomalous. This you have heard
from an eye-witness, and from more
eloqueut lips tliau mine. What pro
duced, what brought, about this con
dition of affairs we perhaps may uot
distinctly know. I believe,., as be
lieves the gentleman who has just
addressed you, that it existed in the
determination to rule tlie Democratic
party or ruin it The speaker here
gave an anecdote illustrative of the
convention, liking Gov. Colquitt to a
player who had stocked bis cards,
shuffled the deck and dealt, laying
dowu the rules for the game. When
the final call was nude aud he found
he had not the winning hand, lie blew
out the light, i hrew down the cards,
and carried off the stak. s. and tliqy
wwnt to say that the majority of Geor
gians approve of his course. Colonel
L -ster’s speech was a forcible pre en
tation of the question, and the cau*e
of the minority, which he claimed
represented the Democratic principles.
He stated that, there was no other
question now involved than whom will
you vote for? Will you vote for
Colquitt or will yon vote for Nor
wood? [Cries of “Norwood.’’] lie
would not discuss the merits or de
merits ot Colq.titi’s administration
He would only Miy t.hnt Colquitt had
n-> right to demand the nomination.
H- had a right to aecept it if tende
ed him, but no light to force his per.
so»al grievances a< a claim f. r the
suffrages of the people. He
is an autocrat, and has
outgrown his party. As a Demo
crat, I cannot vote for him. lie was
not quite large enough; however, he
discovered, to pocket the whole con
vention. Colonel Lester then referred
to the bo|>e that the entire question
could have lieeu settled liy the calling
of another convention ; but this hope
was dissipated by the news brought
over the wires that the new State
Committee,the Chairman of which was
a Co'quitt ntan and who had appoin
ted a majority of Colquitt men, had re
fused to call the convention. Noth'
ing was left now hut to decide who
will yon have—(tolquitt or Norwood.
We were all Democrats, and no news
papers,or majority can read us out of
the party. He closed with sta’ini
that lie had defined his position, ai
it was now in order for them to speak
out. He was frequently interrupted
with loud applause.

Govcn.or Cilqnitt 30 conducted him
self in reference to that endorsement
as U» create in the minds oignany good
people hi this 8tate impressions that
were highly detrimental to the ad>
ministration. I don’t say Governor
Colquitt did anything wrong, but I
am now upon a subject under which
lihbvo arranged all of the charges, If
l may call them charges, which I pro
pose tw discuss to-night. I say that
in that matter his duties were plain,
and Unit he has not discharged them
iroperly, or, in other words, he has
teen incompetent andAteglectful of
his duty. Nowin this plain matter
ot" the endorsement of a few bonds,
hv could it not have been conducted
in such a Bray as not to- arouse the
suspicions of any mart. Yet what was
the result of that endorsement. There
were so many thing- said and dhone
at such time* and in such manner that
wheo tliey alt were aggregated, that
when the lens of the public mind
bi ought it to bear upon them at the
focal point, men’s minds which work
ed correctly in the evidence of hnman
testimony, felt a suspicion that every
thing was not all right. Now i was
there auy necessity ot doing that and
bringing scandal on the State. Any
dain business transaction can be done
>y a man of thought and judgment to
a plain business manner. But Gov-
ernnr. Colquitt did uot take the opin
ion of his.constHutional.adviser upon
t>ie subject. -..
Tlu-re is no written opinion of Maj.
Ely, who is the person constituted by
law to qive him opinions as to his
duty I say there is no Opinion of Ids
on that sill-ject—mi file; Now Maj.
Ely is uot a mere ornamental part of
tiis administration. He was not elec
merely to draw hi- salary ol two thou
sand dollars a year, but it is made his
duty to give opinions to the Governor,
and it is the duty of the Governor to
ask the opinion of his constitutional
adviser up n: questions of law, but in
tiiis ca-e he did not do it
GOVERNOR COLQUITT'S ANSWER
TIIE ABOVE CHARGE.
In answering the al>ove charge,
Governor Colquitt, in his Letter to
the People, dated August 21at and
published August 25th, says:
There lias not been iu tlie wide
range ot public discussion a measure
that lias received more unfair criticism
than tlie indorsement of the North
eastern Railroad bonds. It was a prop
er measure, a politic measure, a legal
measure and an imperative duty inas
much as it involved the State’s sacred
honor in relation to her own citizens:
Mr. Norwood himself distinctly States
that he has no charge ot wrong to
make against me in connection with
that act, bnt that it lias caused un
kind comment If the act is wrong,
it should be condemned. It it is
right it should be sustained. Unkind
comment upon it does not make it
wrong. It is right or wrong from its
facts. Ignorance or malice or self-
interest can make unfavorable com
ment about the best and noblest ac
tions ; but actions must be jndgad at
last by their merits and not by per
sonal views Of them, as Mr. Norwood
seems Vo. argue.
• Whai-itre the feats of ibis matter ?
The: general .assembly} of the State
grantt d the Northeastern railroad
company the right to an indorse
ment ot its bonds upon certain condi
tions. Ollier roads received the
same grant. A sUb-equent legisla
ture repealed the act, giving to these
roads stttte aid, except where' the
right had vested. But tho same
general assembly that'repealed the
aets" authorizing state Rid, tnade by
resolution a special exception in the
case of the Northeastern railroad.

White Sulphur Springs, )
August 23,1880. f
The season here is still at its I. eight,
and the crowd of visitors remains un-
diminished. In spite of the intense
heat the ballroom is crowded every
eveurag, and tlie young jssople seem
to enjoy dancing as much as if it were
mid-winter. The toilets displayed by
some of the ladies are very -elegant,
though as a general tiling, the dress-
ing.is simple and in good taste. The
chief rivalryjof the fair sex, just now,
seems to be in choking up their necks.
She who. can smother herself up \o
the chin and ears itrtho tightest knots
of ribbon and lace, being an objpet of
envy to all the rest: They-look very
hot and uncomfortable. Some of the
poor creatures can-scarcely tuni ilieit
heads, but the stoical fortitude witb
which women submit to the demands
of fashion would be sublime iu a bet
ter caase.
Among recent arriv-ds from yonr
town, I notice Mr. John Hope Hull,
Mr. Billups Pliihizy and Mr. Rucker.
Gen. • Win. M. Browne, also, of the
University of Georgia, looked in
us as lie passed on his way t<> visit
Mr. Davis at Beauvoir. He was si
much pleased that be expects to - visr

Among the-, reigning belles and
beauties who areeummering here, are
Mias Swoll, of Savannah, Miss L gon,
of Alabama, Miss Powere, of Macon,
and Miss Bettie DnBose, of Wash
ington. The latter ia a graceful blonde
whose classic profile and dignified
repose of manner lend a peculiar
charm to her beauty. Mitt Sarah
DuBose, her sister, is more of a bru
nette and remarkable for her sprightly-
good humor aud vivacity of manner.

He went to bed in his usual health,
aad early ihe next morning his .wife
arose from his ride, leaving him ai
she thought asleep. She got break
fast, and when it was ready went to
awake her husband. ‘ Not answering
to her calls, she tried to shake him,
without success/ She'then placed her
band upon his skin and touud it as
cold as ice. He had died during the
night, and his end waa so tranquil that
the wife at Iris side was not aroused.
In tlie arms of the dead man lay
sweetly sleeping orie of his little chil
dren, vlmt lay intded to bis breast.
The messenger must have come to him
while asleep, as the faintest struggle
wo.-Id have caused him to release or
wake the child.

" Let Them Come to Athens.
In the naming of the places for the
meeting iu joint discussion, of Messrs
Colquitt and Norwood,the gentlemen
who had the matter in charge
strangely omitted Athens from the
list. This was surely an oversight
and we call attention to it now for
the purpose of having it included
among the places of meeting. We
noiiee that, by the list published else
where, alter the discus-ion at Cov
ington, the 28th inst., there is to be
no meeting again till the 4th of Sep
tember, at Griffin. Now, between
these two last-named dates there will
be ample lime for a meeting in Ath
ens, an.) we suggest that our citizens
forivar I a request to the speakers bo
meet here Monday, the 30th inst. Lat
tlie matter he at once attended to,
and wc have no doubt the request
will be complied with.
A Fasting Hatch.
Mr. Charles D. Keep, of tlie New
York Wall Street Dtuly News, of
fered a prize of $1,000 tor any one
who will fast for forty days or more
under his immediate supervision, and
(juickly received applications from
five candidates, with which lie closed
the lists.* The last applicant contends
that he can fast thirty days without
food or water, and tweuty days more
with water only. Dr. Ilaminond has
highly recommended this man, and
will, it is said, give the exhibition life
nersoti'al attention. A hall will be
hired about September 1 1st, and it u
not ptoposed to charge any admis
sion. The money will be paid to the
man tkhb fasts the longest. Mr.
Keep says he hopes to get fitly days
of amtisehienit out ’of hU ' neW enter
