(From the Milledgeville Recorder,]
So many misstatements have gone
abroad in relation to an unpleasant
disagreement lietween Gen. Gordon
and Rev. D. E. Butler, in the discus
sion in this city, that we publish the
following, from a gentleman who was
present on the stand at the time,
which may be accepted as a truthful
account of the whole difficulty:
In the course of the joint debate
between these gentlemen on Satur
day, 4tb inst, an unfortunate issue
arose productive at the time* oYIT gooff
deal of feeling.
Gen. Gordon in his speech charged
that a large proportion of the opposi
tion to Gov. Colquitt arose from dis
appointed aspirants. Mr. Butler in
reply denied this charge, and turning
to Gen. Gordon remarked quite ex
citedly, “I hurl it in your teeth.” Mr.
Butler immediately proceeded to as
sert that during Gen. Gordon’s term
as senator, just before its close, an
anomalous spectacle was presented in
the United States Senate, in this, that
Georgia was at one and the same time
represented by three Senators on the
floor of the Senate, and that the at
tention of the Senate was directed to
the si range condition ot affairs by
some senator, whose name, lie, (Mr.
B.) had forgotten
He was proceeding to dwell upon
this fact as indicating something 1 sus
picious in tho manner of Governor
Brown’s appointment, using these
words “tellow citizens would this
have excited your suspicion

had a right to do by special agree
ment for the correction of any mis
statement of facts,) and said, “that he
could not suffer himself to be misrep

A FIELD FOR PHYSICIANS
TO \EXPLORE.
' [From the New York Son.] ’ 1
Of all scientific men in these days,
the most interesting to talk with are
physicians who keep up with the ad-
vauCe of their profession in the many
directions whither its explorations are
now tending. Medicine inclndes at
present a very comprehensive field, is
growing to be more of a science, and
stands ready to contest'with the old
mataphvsictans the right to occupy
ahd hold ta' its secure possession the
ground they have regarded 1 as theirs
alone. The physician is the' modern
philosopher, and gathers the facts
from which be diaws his conclusions
by the dissection of the brain and the
study of the nervous system, whereas
the metaphysician only looks into his
own consciousness for the proofs to
sustain his system of psychology.
Physicians of a wide and varied
practice are now called on to treat so
many morbid developments which
once were deemed to be curable only
by the doctors of sonls furnished by
the Church, that they are getting
greater opportunities than ever to
study the peculiarities of human na
ture. Tln-y are, moreover, the father
confessors of the people, and that
priest wa9 right who said to a distin
guished physician, “You and I are
the men wfio see the world from be
hind the scenes. If priests and doc
tors should violate the oaths to secre
cy which gain for them bo free and
wide confidence, what an uproar there
would be in all pans of society I”

ONE IJIPORTAXT Ttlt.VG.
We have seldom seen more good
sense in the same space, than is con
tained iu the following brief editorial,
taken from the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger;
The only very important thing in
these elections in Georgia, we can
think of, is to vote peaceably and on
good behavior. Both sides having,
by failure to settle their own difficul
ties, virtually invited the colored
brethren to come in as arbitrators,
should recognize the claims of the
latter to respect and the fullest suff
rage—so that they will be able to set,
tie .this small difficulty between the
whites with due regard to the rights
of all concerned. Any attempt to
storm and bulldoze will be verv dan-

;; The camlidacy of ,Mr. Norwood-
condemned to overwhelming defeat
from its inception—received its death
blow In the failure’ of the attempt to
secure for it the endorsement of the
Republican Convention.
It has been known: for some time
that a desperate attempt would be
made to have the Republican conven
tion indorse Mr. Norwood, and that
- prominent men have been working to
that end. All intelligent observers
have known from the first that with»
ont'lhis Indorsemrert • Mr.~*N or wood’s
candidacy w^a a dismal farce. Gov*,
ernor Colquitt had already demon
strated that he waa the overwhelms
ing choice of the white people in the
Democratic primaries. He carried
nearly two-thirds of the primaries
against the combined strength of four
men, either one of whom is stronger
and more available than Mr. Nor*
wood. It was not to he hoped,
therefore, that Mr. Norwood, weaker
than either of the four, oould reverse
an overwhelming verdict of the
Democrats already recorded in favot
of Governor Colquitt against the four
combined—especially since Governor
Colquitt lias been greatly strength
ened by the remarkable occurrences
since that race.
Clearly, then, the only hope for
Mr. Norwood was that the solid Re
publican vote might be secured to
him. The plan to capture this vote
culminated in an open attempt before
the Republican Convention, led by
the venerable Mr. Norcross, who, re
membering his own fate when oppo
sing Governor Colquitt four years ago,
felt a sympathy for Mr. Norwood.
The result of that attempt to bolster
the failing cause has been written in
these columns. It wits received with
shouts ot indignation and laughter—
was opposed by every sjteaker who
followed, finding not a single advo
cate, and was finally tabled by a vote
of 72 to 6. Thus ended the attempt
to bag the Republican vote’for Nor
wood—and thus perished the last ray
of hope of a candidacy conceived in
blindness and folly, headed by a weak;
ambitious man, and doomed from its
birth to sorrow and tribulation.

While a fox who had just stolen &
fine goose was running away, with his
booty thrown over his shoulder his
tail was caught in a trap and cut off
pretty shaft, which gave him much
polo. ' Soon afterward.,in moralizing
with his friend* the owl, over the in
stability, of earthly tails and the pain
.which sometimes comes to foxes
through an inordinate appetite for
goose, he said, 'sitting down upon his

We give, from the Columbus times,
the concluding paragraphs of Got.
Colquitt’s, recent speechin that city:
After referring to the salary grab, the
fraudulent bonds and the Presidential
Salary, he said : “Some cry Norwood
and Reform ! Norwood and Reform 1
but the people are inditing inseri|>-
tions for transparencies: Norwood
and the salary grab! Norwood and
the repudiated bonds! Norwood and
$50,000 Presidential salary 1 Nor
wood and the disruption of the demo
cratic party ! —Norwood and defeat!’’
He said he learned that there was a,
political, undertaker setting up the
coffin tmsiness iu Columbus. Flic
was making a .coffin for mo. Let
him complete the. job; tho coffin will
be needed. Let the grave ho dug,
and when it is ready I will turn to
Hon. Mr. Norwood and repeat tho
solerau. lines of the good oldjtaymn:
Ye living man come viow tha ground
Where you must shortly lie."
