Senator Got don’s Resignation.
In another column we print the
letter - of General John B. Gordon to
Governor Colquitt resigning his po
sition of United State Senator. No
reasons have yet been assigned by
General Gordon for this move other
than that he wished to retire -from
public life. The people of Georgia
can but feel a sense of deepest regret
at this act ofso useful a publicservant.
The'people of ihe.whole South will
also regret the act, for no man from
Georgia in the National Convention
Cincinnati for the nomination of
a President. The meeting will con
vene at 11 o’clock.
Let us all meet together and send
good men to look after the interest
of the party.

The Columbus people are very in
dignant at the appointment of Jo-
eaph E. Brown as United States Sen
ator in the place of Gen. Gordon,and
at a meeting on the 20th, passed
strong resolutions of censure of the
Governor’s action in the premises.

As he fought upon the field for the
cause of the Soiuh so has he battled
for the rights of her ppople in the
nation’s councils. His whole aim
and purpose has been (as his acts
will prove) for the accomplishment
of good to the people he represented.
In Georgia he is honored and beloved
above all olhers, and the luss of his
valued services can be reckoned no
less than a grave calamity. What his
motives were for the move he best
knows, hut we ar» free to express a
belief that a man so pure as General
Gordon,could have none butatrue in
centive for yielding a trust so respon
sible and honored. It may be and
probably is so, that finding his sa'a-
ry as a Congressman quite insuffi
cient to maintain himself and family
in such style as is necessary at the
capital, and believing his person
al affaii'3 needed solely his attention,
and feeling he was doing to his fam
an injustice to neglect their interests,
he felt it a duty he owed them to re
sign his office. Such being the case
and knowing he could retain the
place as long as be desired it, and
probably could go higher, what was
it but genuine magnanimity that
caused him to take the step ? For
years General Gordon has served his
people nobly and faithfully and
for these services they are too grate
ful to forget him.

The Columbus Enquirer gives the
following information in regard to
the Cohur.bus and Rome Railroad:
“The road has now been completed
to Bellmont, thirty-two miles lrom
our city, and eight and one-half miles
beyond Hamilton. The first train
ran to the terminus on Monday.
Yt sterday morning quite a number
of passengers came down from Beil
mont, and ware much pleased with
the road. From this rich pountry in
the vicinity of Bellmont and above
that place, quite an extensive busi
ness will be transacted with our mer
chants. No doubt this will material
ly increase our cotton receipts next
season. A handsome depot will be
built at Bellmont Iu a short while.
It is now being framed at the shops
of the company in this city.”

Resignation of Senator Gordon.
On the 19th instant Governor Col

Gordon his resignation of his posi

following is

There is not a newspaper on our
exchange list that we prize more
than we do the Savannah Dai ly News.
It is without a doubt one of the best
conducted journals in the South. Its
telegraphic news is always fresh, and
dished up to its readers in palatable
shape. It is wide-awake in the mat
ter of notingimportant events,and its
editorials are written in the best of
style, are fearless and bold, and bear
evidences of being directed by the
shrewdest judgment. It is success
ful, and surely deserve to be.
The New York Herald, of the
17th makes an earnest appeal to
Grant to stand aside and permit
Somebody else to take an uncumber
ed track for tbe Presidency. This
paper says: The plain fact which he
(Grant) ought to see, and which so
clearheaded a man as he is can not help
but see, is that he is not needed and
he is not wanted. His nomination
can be brought about only by sup
pressing and violating the wishes of
the majority of Republican voters;
and there is no longer any doubt that
his nomination will bring a ernsbiug { since 1865.
defeat on his party.
Our WasUiugton Letter.
Washington, D. C., May 25, 1880.
Politically, Washington was never
so much of a national centre as to
day. We here are more fully inform
ed than residents of any other place
of what is done politically in all parts
of the country. It seems to be gen
erally believed that on the Republi
can side, ex-President Grant lias
improved his chances in the last
week, and on the Democratic side,
that Mr. Tilden will have at Cincin
nati more votes on the first taliot
than any other candidate. There is
also a notable impression of late in
the spirits of the third party politi
cians. But while we note an im
provement in the chances of General
Grant, I caunot but notice that the
hostility against him in his party is
growing more bitter. What he has
gained in other States does not repair
the damage done him in New York
and Pennsylvania, and the threaten
ed split and want of unanimity in his
own State, make his nomination at
Chicago impossible. The question
now is, whore will his strength go
to? It is now conceded that Blaine
and Sherman will get the bulk of it,
and what they don’t get Edmunds
will. Washburn is virtually out of
the race, even us a dark horse. The
Grant men dislike him because ol
the damage done to them by his
leaders in Illinois, and he is iu reali
ty now turning his attention to secur
ing the second place with Blaine or
Edmunds.
There is little doubt of adjourn
ment by the the 31st. The Senate
will adopt the House resolution, the
appropriation hills will be passed
rapidly and a few other measures,
such a3 the bill approving the Ute
agreement, and Congr ss will ad
journ. The Republican members
generally will go to Chicago, and the
Democrats go to their homes. 1
don’t think the public interests will
suffer much from au early adjourn
ment. Legislation in the midst of u
very exciting Presidential campaign,
like that now before us, is not likely
to be of the most desirable sort.

Mr. Henry Watterson, editor of tlie
Louisville Courier-Journal, who has
just returned from a visit to Hon. S.
J. Tilden, publishes an editorial in
hi3 paper, which, after referring to
what is claimed to be popular sen ti
nt favor of the renomination of Mr.
Tilden, concludes :
“Mr. Tilden is an old man, and
past the time when motives of pri
vate ambition occupy the first place
iu his breast. Assuredly possession
ol the chief magistracy, to which he
was elected, is not an overweening
desire of his heart. He is ready to
and will willingly, liberally and
heartily support whomsoever the
party may select as its standard
bearer, and he has not consulted h.s
wishes and.withdrawn himself from a
position which is most irksome to
him, solely because he has not been
able to see that his retirement would
contribute anything to the develop
ment of what is best to be done, or
to the operation of harmonious
influences within the party he loves
so well and. has served so long.—
That party must fix his relation
to it. It must not consider his
person at all—that is nothing—and
lie charges his friends everywhere to
abstain from everything which may
be constucu into dictation. He would
have no delegate to Cinciuoati in
structed to vote for him. Delegates
should be left free to decide how they
shall vote alter they get there; and,
whatever the result may be, he shall
be content, conscious of having,
from first to last, done his whole
duty by his country and his party.—
These are, as nearly as may be put
in another’s words, the opinions of
Mr. Tilden.”

County Primaries.
[Macon Telegraph.]
Several counties in Georgia hare
already held meetings or conventions
and designated their delegates to the
two State conventions, the first to
meet in Atlanta, June 6th, for the
appoint men; of delegates to Cincin
nati, and the other at the same place,
August 4th, for the purpose of se
lecting electors and nomitiatinj can
didates for Governor and State House
officers. In this connection, we
should earnestly call the attention of
the Democracy of the State to the
following resolution which was offer
ed by Hon. H. P. Bell, aud adopted
by the committee :
“Resolved, That the people of
Georgia, in selecting their del-gates
to said convention, are hereby ear
nestly requested to adopt such ineth
ods satisfactory to themselves as will
insure a full, lree and fair expression
of the popular choice in selecting
delegates and candidates. The com
mittee recommend that meetings to
appoint delegates to the first conven
tion meet ou the first Tuesday in
June next, and the meetings to ap
point delegates to the second con
vention be held on Wednesday, the
7th day of July, and in each case
that tlie most extensive notice prac
ticable be given.”
The above was amended so as to
insert Wednesday, the 21 *t day o!
July, in lieu of the 7th of that
month, for the priniarlas in the
to appoint i'
nates t<> the Gubernatorial
tion in August.
The Executive Committee believed
that in designating the same time
throughout the S ate for the holding
of these j rimary elections or mass
meetings, general att m ion would be
concentrated upon that particular
day, and a more thorough expression
of the popular voice would he re
tained. We agree with them, and
for the future harmony and welfare
of the pal ty would earnestly suggest
that the i riinary meetings be duly P^ 0UnC [.

Twenty years ago the steanur Ara
bian sank in the Missouri river, with
600 barrels of whisky on board. The
current of the river went on chaa -
ing, aud now the place where tin
steamer sailed is dry land, and tlie
forgotten wreck is buried forty feet
deep in tiie sand. The other day th
man. who owns the place put down a
drive pump and the first liquid he
found was the whisky iu one <4 tiie
buried barrel;. For a while after he
had tasted the vein ins pipe had
struck, land in the vicinity was held
at 8475,000 an acre. But by and by
some one remembered about the old
wreck, and the price fell. A irust-
worthy and constant vein of twenty
years old whisky on any Mic-oun
farm has a tendency to iucrerS: the
demand for it rapidly.
