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.

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.

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.
