The Bluffton Springs contains an elaborate account of the mar riage in Bluffton of Rev. H. It. McLendon, and Miss II A. McAr thur. The Americas Recorder will soon come out as a daily. The Recorder is a splendid, wide awake paper, and deserves the success it has i*o:i. Four cott’ a mills of Augusta have shut down leaving 70,000 spindles idle and 1,(100 operatives without employment. John B. Gordon, Jr., the young cst son of Gen. Gordon, died near Atlavta last Friday night. He was nineteen years of age. "Atlanta has a factory that makes iron fencing for fences, at four cents per foot. Its address is. 4 American Fence Company, 2,' 9 Marietta street.” Mr. C. M. Lowe, of Atlanta, but for many years a resident of Lumpkin, died at Porter Springs on Friday, September 5th. The Directors of the A., P. & L. Railroad, have determined to build a narrow guage railroad to Lumpkin. Work has already commenced on the road. The Fort Gaines Tribune is now run by Messrs. A. J. Fleming and W. B. Graham. We wish these young gentlemen all the success they could desire. If men knew as much at forty years of age as they thought they ktiev. at twcuty. there would be more statesmen in the country. A changeable complexion indi cates the existence of worms. A few doses of Shnner's Indian Ver mifuge will destroy them and make your complexion bright and healthy. The Columbia Enterprise pro pounds this query; “Why is it you can't get a man to work for you. when lie owes you?” That is sim pie enough, neighbor. He doesn’t intend tc pay the debt, and bis stock of honesty is too meager to persuade him to do so. Sunday’s Constitution tells of a remarkable mineral spring, 18 miles from Atlanta, on the Geor gia Pacific Railroad. Some rc markable cures have been made. Democratic newspapers report constant accessions to the ranks of Cleveland und^Iendricks. Re publican papers report constant accessions to the ranks of Blaine and Logan. Now which lies? An old gentleman lives near Athens who is over 100 years old. and was one of «the first settlers in Clarke county. He says he can remember before there was such a thing as a wheeled vehicle in the settlement, and |>eople moved to Mississippi by packing their worl lly effects in a large hogs head. fixed with shafts and drawn by a single !-.orse. The wo uen and children walked on behind, while the husband drove the team. Wood was hauled on 6lcds. A* Infepen tent Our reader* will see the card nt Mr. J. H. Denaington in another place in which ha announce* him self as a candidate for the Legis lature from tins county. In com mon with a large number of good people we regret the course of Mr. Denningtnn in tbia matter. Col. Perry received the nomination fairly and squarely, without any wirepulling or trickery, and with out any thought of being nomina ted. Besides he is a projier per son to represent the county in the House of Representatives. He is a man of intelligence, of up right habits, and a good man. A negro is in the field against him, duly nominated by the Republi can party of the count)', and vig orous efforts are being made to get him elected. There are only two more white voters in the county than colored, and all our readers know that on national election years like this, a full ne gro vote is always polled. Under such circumstances, to take one vote from the regular candidate is to increase the probability of put ting a negro in the House of Rep resentatives. Are the white wen of this countg willing to tee such a thing take placet There are no issues upon which Mr. Denning- ton can claim the votes of the peo ple as against Col. Perry, for they both stand upon the same plat form. Col. Perry is as much of a "fence” man as Mr. Dcnnington, and has written eery strong arti cles for the newspapers ia tear of “fence.” His record on this line is fully as clear and strong as Mr. Dcnnington’s. If there is any particular in which he can claim to lie a better man for the place we do not know what it is. If Air. Dcnnington had received the nomination, or if a corrupt man was in the field, we should he glad to see Mr. Dcnnington elected, for we have always been his friend and looked upon him as an honest, good man. But in this instance we think he is mak ing a great mistake. We suppose no one thinks that Air. Dcnnington will receive a larger vote than Col. Perry. Sup I lose, however, he gets a third or a fourth of the white vote, and anything like a full negro vote is polled, the election results neces sarily in the choice of a negro, and in such an event Mr. Den nington would be responsible for it. It seems to us that there is but one course for the white men of the county to pursue, and that is for all to agree upon one or the other, and then vote solid for that man. Under the circumstances it sccins to us necessarily that Col. Perry should he that man. Eafanla Cotton Compress Bsraed. Telegrams received here on Monday gave the startling infor mation that the new Compress in Eufaula had been burned up and several lives lost. Our later ad vices confirm the first informa tion. The daily papers of that city give full accounts of the ca lamity. From them we learn that the boiler in the Compress build ing burst about 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, and that the fiauies rapidly spread until they covered everything in the building. 360 bales of cotton were lost valued at about $18,000, which falls upon the Central Railroad. The Com press belonged to that road, and cost $(>•>,000. There were from 25 to 30 hands employed in the building. Thir teen of these were either killed or hurt, some of them not very se riously. Air. M. P. Picket, chief clerk and superintendent is among the dead. It was only by determined ef forts that the flames were confin ed to this one building.

In this day the pcojde luul tw have a mania on the subject of pardons. The people are ready to sign a petition for the discharge of any convicted eHminal, the judges who try the case urge the pardon nr commutation, the aolic- itor-gcnerals fall into line, the ju ries who hear all the evidence and make the verdicts relent and peti tion for clemency, the county offi cials arc not at all backward—all classes apparently eager to turn criminals of every sort loose upon the community that the same crimes may lie rejieatcd. In some s ftions—not in the South—ano- tliei clement is added which is ex erted to shield the hardened crim inals from the penally of crime.— The spectacle is common of ladies of refinement and position flockixg to the cells of notorious criminals, festooning the grating with flow ers, sending in bouquets, etc. Tbe pardoning |>ower is vested in the servants of the people, and this is the pressure that is brought to licar to obtain the ex ecutive clemency. There are rare cases where the innocent are condemned or cir ciDistances greatly mitigate the offense, where tiic prerogative may be properly and justly exercised. But what can he said of tlinsi cases of the conviction of notori ous criminals where the courts and juries, after a full hearing and a conviction, throw them selves between tbe criminal and his punishment, to shield him from his crime. The fault is clearly with the lieopleand the remedy is with them. When a crime lias been committed, when the guilty lias lieen convicted, all good people ought to be of one mind as to the punishment. Lrt the law take its course. The courts hear the cases, pass the sentences, and then they should sto|i. The machinery of the law is compleU and expensive, and if soeiety is to be protected the sentences ot the courts ought to lie sustained. When everybody signs peti tions, when the judges write let ters urging pardons, when the solicitors general go in person to advocate the release of criminals whom they have prosecuted, when juries join in who have made up the verdict, and when the Attor ney General advises favorably, and the Governor lias the power, he is very apt to use it. The whole sentiment on this subj.-ct is wrong and will proba bly continue so until the pardon business shall be eliminated. In the meantime the press of the State can take such a position in the matter as to bring about a healthier public sentiment. As to the law makers they seem to be as deep in it as tbe rest. Petitions frequently have the signatures of Senators and Repre sentatives, ex Representatives, gentlemen who make the criminal statutes aud then aid in the work of nullifying them.” that outside of Clay county, they tointy on the 11th inat., after a Tbe Great Expssitlsa. The Exposition at New Orleans is attracting attention of the press in all parts of the country and -broad Almost every newspaper lias something to say about the preparations that are being made to further the work of State or local associations. The special representatives of the Exposition commissioned by President Ar thur, for the purpose of procuring exhibits have found the newspa pers ready to rc|mri speeches and print the latest news relating to the World's Fair. This circum stance no doubt springs from the fact til at the people throughout the land read with much interest all that is printed concerning this great enterprise. By tiie wide spread influence of tiie press the Exposition is known and talked about in India, Australia, on tiie banks of the Congo, in the South Americas republics, and in the frozen regions of tlie*North. Seem iug impossibilities have been over come, and the scheme limited 'o a cotton exhibition at first, h: s been enlarged by degrees till it now embraces a grand exposition of nets, manufactures. iiiinys, ag ricnltare, ami in fact about every thing in which the people of to day are interested. This Expo ntion to bit opened in Dccemiicr next, covers more groond, has more exhibits entered, than can be recorded of any other World’s Fair ever attempted. Aside from tbe pecuniary means furnished, the antiring industry ot its directors, this marvel of tbe nineteenth century owes much of its renown to the power of the newspapers. Tbe Independent says that po’- itics is sereue in Stewart. had no choice, and Clay being ruled out, they left also. I understand there is some die pute as to how the vote of Clay was to lie, or should be cast, after some of us ieft, and as to a proper division of tiie same among the delegates who remained. When asked a day or two since if I left any one there authorized to east my vote, I answered in the nega tive; but for fear this answer may be misupderatood, I wish to say that my negative answer must be confined to my individual vote, and not as denying the right of the remaining' delegates to vote aa they pleased, and for whom they pleased. Nor would I be understood as saying that no one had the right to cast the thirteen votes allotted today county, but on the coutrary that tbe Delegates left had just as much right to cast tiie vote of Clay county as all of us hail while there together, unless we had positively instruct ed them otherwise. As to wheth er the thirteen votes were equally distributed among the remaining delegates, I know not, atd will not undertake to discuss. I had been selected in caucus that morning :o cast the rote of Clay, but by the same caucus it was unani mously voted that Clay county was entitled to the next Senator, and that I should cast that vote for CoL Turnipseed, as Clay's choice. Hence, when the conven tion decided that it was not Clay's time to present the candidate, my right to cast her vote then ceased. Our delegates from Clay weresan guine as to her claim, and had made provision fur no other candi date, and after our second caucus l returned to the convention and reported to tiie chairman that I was not instructed to act any fur ilier for Clay county, and asked f>r leave of absence. I did not say, nor did I uieau that Clay county would take no further i»art in tbe convention, for 1 bad re ceived no such intimation; nordid I. in leaving the convention, in tend by tiiat, to go back on its proceedings. I had, with others, been elected as delegates farora blc to Col. Turnipseed, and when tbe vote was taken on the right ol Clay, and decided in the negative, we were left without a candidate before the convention, and I, foi one, felt perfectly willing for the remaining delegates from Clay, in conjunction with those tr im Ran dolpli and Terrell to make the Domination. I had previously slated, in addresStng the conven tion in opposition to the resolu tion, “binding the convention to siip|iort tiie nominee,” that “it was a reflection on our fidelity— that as democrats we bad assem bled in convention, and it ought to lie underelood by democrats. Imtli in and out of the convention, that we would support the nomi nee.” As I am not accustomed to going back on what I say, I will now reiterate the sentiment, and say that I will cheerfully abide tho action of the convention, a no will heartily support its nominee, and if any of the delegates should do otherwise,'"1 bill not in future, on a similar occasion, raise my voice against Prof. McNulty's “feucing them in,” although I be lieved then, and still lielicrc, that principle, and not fencing, ought to keep our parly in tiie field and in the line of duty.

Tbe city of Sheffield is booming ahead with- Us new waterworks, hotels, boulevards, etc. tragedy and another to the many already en acted in our county, in favor of prohibition and the abolition of the whisky traffic. On Saturday evening last, some five or six miles south of Wards, in a quiet and peaceable neighborhood, a young man liy the name of Joe Phelps, of dissipated habits, and who had secured from some low doggery in an ’adjoining county whiskey enough to make him drunk and dethrone reason, passed by and through the yard of the home of Mr. Henry DafiicI, a quiet, good citizen, a man who was noted for his quiet and peaceable hab its, and by his loud yells and screams, mixed witii profanity, attracted the attention of Air. Daniel, who was some distance from the house and hastened to wards bis home and met this man Phelps, when some words passed, and Phelps drew lus pistol, fired, and Daniel fell, shot through tbe body. He lived but a short lime, leaving a, distressqd widow and three orphan children. Another murderer, widow and orphans ad ded to the long list of the destruc tive work of the liquor traffic, and the blood ot this murdered man, the sorrowing tears of the wideb and orphaned children cry out to every Christian man and woman, to every good citizen to work nnd vote to suppress this great evil of our land. Nn man who will not vote and work for its abolition should be supported for any office in our county. This is not a question of politics in its com monly accepted meaning, but is one of morals, of religion, of good will to men, and of patriotism, and we are glad to see the goad people everywhere uniting, working nnd voting for the suppression of this the greatest evil and curse of out age. The receipts of cotton at otn town arc heavy. The crop of our section will not exceed that of Iasi season, and in some sections of the country »vc have visited lately, it will not be so large a yield as last season. We find in travelling over the country, that the tanners have corn enough, and to spare. The other food crops arc good, an.I a great rtianv will raise meat suffi i-ient for home use. Imt the cotton crop will lie aliout 75 per et. of an average, and the price at which it is selling will nut pay the cost of production. That our farmers will have to turn their attention to something besides cotton to make money, we are well satisfied. A1 reatlv the markets of the world are filled to overflowing with man ufacto red cotton goods, and many of our factories arc shut down or running nn half time. Notwithstanding the stringency in our money market, aud the dullness of trade noted every where, our village continues to improve and grow. Air. John A. Payne has just rqiencd up his new store of fancy groceries anil con feetioneries, which he is selling cheap. He has Mr. C. W. Graves in charge, who by his urbanity ami fair dealing will build up a good trnde. He bas also fitted up a restaurant, where the hungry who visit our town can get a first class meal. This fills a long felt want, and wc ho|ic he will receive a liberal patronage. Mrs.-Busbec is also shipping her goods, and will soon open up in her new building. She has had many years experience in the mil linery and fane)- goods trade, and knew* what the ladies like, and how to please them, and she will keep a slock equal to any in the neighboring towns. Three enterprising farmers from Sumter county have bought pla ces near Wants, (laying from 6 to $10 per acre for them, and others are looking out homes among 119. We invite them to come.

If these charges are untrue, then the parties using these vile slanders arc unworthy tiie confidence of all good men. We hope to see good anil true men, who love the right, anil whose con victions on the prohibition ques tion are too strong for the whis perlngs of policy, uniting aud vot ing tor the candidates whose char actcrs are not tarnished, and who represent a sentiment and a prin ciple above mere party success.— We may not carry a single State in the coming election, and may be told wc are throwing away our voes. This is not so, For right is right, since (fod is God, And right the day will win; To doubt would lie disloyalty, To falter would be sin. And this cause will yet succeed. Our candidates will receive not less than 1,600.000 votes. If so, the* one or both of the parties, 4 years hence, will be forced to in corporate in-Hn national platform a prohibition plank. Tliea we mast do right though wcfail now, for every vote given for prohibi tion but hastens the dav of our national deliverance from the curse of whiskey, drunkenness, crime and suffering. Then let the Christian |ieopie of this land unite and do right—for right's sake and conscience's sake. Hancock county will send Hon. W. J.
