Atlanta Constitution; The mi
nority in the recent convention an
nounced with great vociferonsness
and in the midst of much gesticula
tion that they were willing to ac
cept any other man than Governor
Colquiy ; and yet when the name of
lion. Thomas'. G. Lawson, of Put
nam, wa£ proposed every man of tlie
.minority ' refused to vote for him.
This fact is sufficient to expose the
pretense of the minority. What they
desired to do was to break up the
convention without a nomination,
and their telegram to Dr. Felton,
while the convention was yet in ses
sion, is a further proof of their pur
poses. .
As Charley Hancock would say,
we rise to a point of order. By whom
was ex-Senator Norwood nominated?
By the committee of nine. Whom
did the committee of nine represent?
A minority of an adjourned conven
tion. If these nine private citizens
had a right to nominate a candidate
for Governor, why lias not any other
nine the same right? They repre
sented nobody, they were in no sense
delegates, for their membership
closed with the adjourning sine die of
the convention. They were sent
there as delegates to a Democratic
gubernatorial convention, and that
hud adjourned. Whose nominee is
he, then ?—Macon Telegraph.
A statement issued by the Treas
ury Department s’uo’.vs that the not
revenue of the Government from ail
sources for 1830 is $333,520,610,
while in 1879 it amounted to $273,-
827,148, an increase of $54,009,426.
The net ordinary expenditures of
the Government for 18S0 are shown
to be $197,042,957, against $206,-
947,883 for 1879.. A comparison of
expenditures for interest on the pub
lic debt and for pensions for the
years 1879 and 1880 shows a large
increase in the one and a considera
ble reduction in the other. For 1879
tlie interest on toe public-debt
amounted to $105,327,949,. and tor
1880 to $95,757,515, a - decrease of

McNellt, of the Murray County
Gazetpe, throws this at 'Wrench, of
the Dalton Headlight: “A friend

him a monkey-wrench. W T e inform

among our earthly treasures, such a
tool, but referred.him to The Head

makes the following retort: ‘’The

Wanted a jackass and applied at the

Southern Cotton Mills.
The Manufacturer and Industrial
Gazette, of Springfield, Mass., gives
some substantial reasons • why the
Southern cotton factories, though
small and rather poorly equipped,
are able to earn a larger percentage
of profits than the immense mills of
the North. They have the advan
tage of better location, and when
they have secured new and improved
machinery will do an unrivaled busi
ness. They can save freight, buy
cheaper and hire cliea; or labor.
They save “the buyer’s commission,
warehouse delivery and cartage, sam
pling, classing, pressing, shipping,
discount on bills, loss of weight in,
sampling for mixed - packages, fire
insi ranee before snipping, marine
risks, and freight and cartage to in
terior towns, which amounts m all
to some seven dollars per bale. The
Northern mills also lose from receiv
ing cotton poorly ginned, containing
a good deal of Itaf and sand, which
is computed at 0 per cent, of the en
tire cotton crop. The difference be
tween the cost of a bale sent to Fall
River, Mass, and a bale sent to Co
lumbus, Gu., is $3 06, the former
costing $51 VI and the latter $43 G5.
Tins makes a tax of 18 per coat,
which Fall River pays in competing
with Columbus. It is estimated
that if the plant#rs ould manufac
ture their cotton near home they
would save $50,000,000 in transpor
tation. A prominent manufacturer
in Mississippi says that that State
can manufacture cotton at a cost of
from 15 to 20 per cent, cheaper than
it can he made in New England. In
Georgia new mills are exempt from
taxation for ten years, and this ex
eruption is extending into other
States. The water power of the
manufacturing sections of the South
is very fine, and the hour3 of labor
are longer in the course of a year,
while the saving of heat and light is
considerable. As yet the South
manufactures only coarser goods,
yarns, ducks, unbleached muslins,
sheetings, shirtings, osnaburgs, jeans,
&c., but the time i3 not distant when
it will come to make prints also,
cambrics, laces, and all the finer j
qualities of staple goods.

Tlic Congressional Convention.
Mr. Robertson, the nominee of the
Democratic Congressional Conven
tion for tlie seventh district, which
met at Rome on t ie 18th, having
declined, the conventionre-asvmbLd
Thursday last and nominated Mr.
Judson C, Clements, of Walker
comity, as the standard-bearer in the
party in the present canvass. Mr.
Clements is said to be a gen tleman of
considerable ability, and vary popu

November we have no doubt he. will
represent the district acceptably.
We havent time nor space to say

The Montgomery Advertiser says;
Up to a few days ago the cotton crop
throughout this section of Alabama
and Florida gave prospects of a lar
ger yield Than at any previous time
for years. The recent continued
rains have been very disastrous, and
now the prospects are decidedly
gloomy. In many sections of this
State and Florida the worms have
appeared, and in many places less
than one-third of what was expected
will be the result. A large crop of
cotton has been anticipated, number
ing up to six million bales. Had
there been no disaster the crop
planted might have made the yield,
but, it does not appear that there is
labor enough in the South to pick
so much. The crop estimates are
perhaps therefore much too high.

two-thirdfc rule) that candidates
should be withdrawn when, it be
came evident that they were the
choice of only a few, and leave the
selection to be made from the more
prominent candidates. It was be
lieved that Governor Colquitt was
originally the second choice of many
delegates, therefore it was deemed
necessary, we suppose, by the few
men who went to the Convention
determined to beat Colquitt or di
vide tlie party, th it an agreement
should be entered into to hold on to
all the candidates till the slaughter
of one or the other occurred.
The minority have shown that
their prejudices against Governor
Colquitt are stronger, than their
love of party, and they must bear
the blame for the disruption of ttie
party. The Sareve* county deLg.-i-

The National Journal of Educa
tion of August 20th, published in
Boston and Chicago, (and by the way
the highest and most reliable educa
tional journal in this country) in
speaking of the vacancy in the agen
cy of the Peabody fund, created bv
the death of Dr. Sears, says: “The

trust is one of dignity and responsi
bility, and few men possess the abili
ty to discharge the vast, as well as
delicate, duties of the office, and to
succeed so remarkable an admimstor
as Dr. Seers.”
After saying what character of a
man should be appointed, and refer
ring to Hon. G. J. Orr in the most
complimentary terms, goes on to
state: “We know of man? go >d
reasons why this gentleman should
be elec'ed. lie has also been a very

what the papers say,
[Sandci-rille ITera'd.]
We hoist at our mast-head to-day,
as the choice of the people for Gov
ernor, lion. Alfred II. Colquitt, who
was recommended by a vote of 224,
out of a total ballot of 350 delegates.
In common with the Democracy of
tlie State, we would have rejoiced if
a nomination by the two-thirdsrule
adopted for their action qould have
bosu seemed. iXtd-this b-aou the re
sult no breach would liu*'e been .ef
fected in the party, and the hitherto
victorious and united Democracy
would not have presented, as it does,
the humiliating spectacle of two rival
democratic candidates tor the gu
bernatorial eliair. The responsibili
ty of defeating this desired end will
rest where it properly belongs, upon
tlie stubborn course of the minority
of that body.
(Eatonton Messenger.)
It is with the greatest pleasure we
place at our mast head this morning
the name of th is much abu-ed, ma
ligned and unjustiy assailed, yet dis
tinguished Georgian, for te election.
We have not the space to write what
wo desire, so shall content ourself,
for the present, with the placing of
his name conspicuously, and assur
ing him that he shall have our hear
ty support, believing as we Jo that
he represents not only the true De
mocracy of the State, but fuliv two-
thirds of the entire population, both
white and colored. The majority
acted nobly,in holding out so long power. _

and well. By it they sccnred the
best man for Governor, and harmo
nized the elements in a measure by
placing able men before the people.
(Macon Telegraph.)
Wnen the committee of the mi
nority put Governor Colquitt for
mally on the defense by the charge
in their address of incompetency
and corruption, and even likened
his administration to that of Bill-
lock's; we felt they jiad broker, down
their bridges and burnt their ships,
and that ihere was no neutral
ground upon which both parties
could meet and treat. We are
not surprised, therefore, that the
Governor refuses to retire under
such circumstances, and prefers tin-
arbitrament o! the ballot box, espe
cially a3 in bis case the people had
already given their verdict. He was
willing,-however, to meet his an tag
onist in the opening meeting of the
campaign and answer every charge
that might be brought against him.
This was refused on the ground that
it was to be a ratification gathering
and not for discussion. In that
meeting Senator Norwood delivered,
it is said an aggressive phillipic
against his antagonist. We fear,
therefore, the breach is too wide to
be healed this side of the ballot box.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
My short letter of Saturday last, un
expectedly printed to-day, was in
tended to aid it presenting what I
found in the evening of that day had
been already done—the presentatioi
of another candidate for Governo’.
I offer this one for a different pui-
pose, now that the breach is mailt,
f have no work of censure or praise
for either side, and no inclination ti
widen the breach by taking part ii
the strife. My purpose is to try ID
aid to prevent it from widening anl
extending toother matters, and mail
ing a permanent division. If it is an
error, I hope all will pardon the act
for the sake of the motive.
The idea is entertained by so»ie
that in case Governor Colquitt
and Mr. Norwood shall divide tin
Dem cratic votes of the State, a Re
publican candidate could be elect'*:.
This is not true, as to an election ’ /
the people at the ballot, unless ti.* t t
candidate can poll a majority of a*!
the vot-s cast, wjych is required
select, by our State constitution. I
case ol such a candidacy, there vonld
be real danger in this wise: If il
people m the counties should follow
tlie example set a; Atlanta, and run
two sets of candidates for the Legis
lature, and divide the Democratic
vote, the Republicans, in that cast,
can elect the General Assembly, for
in that election, the highest plurality
vote prevails. If the Republicans
shall run a car.dida'e, and defeat the
election for Governor by t ie people,
the General Assembly, on j tint bal
lot, by a majority would elect a Gov
ernor from the two highest candi
dates before the people, dripping the
iowi st.
If by our divisions, wediall throw
the election into the legislature, and
give the Republicans theinajority or
the controlling balance ?f power in
ihat body, they would el.*et not only
the Governor, and coitrd legislation,
but would elect a United Senator,
two judges of tlie Supreme Court
and all the solicitors if the State.
It is true also, that in «asc, by any
cause, the electors for Resident and
Vice-President do not chtitin a ma
jority of all ihe votes it the ballot
box, the General Assembly will ap
point the electors to cait the' vote of

The Philadelphia Times says:
The most startling and impressive
lesson of the census is given in the
marvelous growth of the South, and
it will do more lo prao iieate the sec
tional strife ot the conn'ry than all
the eloquence of patriotism of states
manship. If will open the eyes ol
the North to the fact that, while
demagogues and partisan organs have
been persistently misrepresenting the
South as utterly idle and lawless, the
pe .ple of the South have been quietly
attending to their own affairs, strug
gling against the terrible desolation
of war, fostering capita! and emigra
tion as best they could, regardless of
disturbers at home and abroad. It
awakens Pennsylvania and New

land to the fact that Southern indus
try, commerce and political power are
not the myths that partisan dis
claimers have studiously represented
them to be; and the commercial, in

that one who was familiar with the

where tlie murderers lived is now
near a remote country road. The

entered .160 acres of land. lie broke
part of it. He. set out a few apple
trees near the house.
After tlie family took their depart

named Si Y’eaze! took possession of
it and bus since operated part of ii.
