If the ladies of this district could vote Candler would he elected by a solid majority. The triplets lately born in Oconee weigh only thrae pounds each, hut are doing well. There is a Greenback candidate for tin- legislature in Juckson, and he will carry a good vote. Tlie recent lowering of freight rates on cotton gives great satisfaction among our cotton men. Tlie tightness of the money market is not expected to be relieved until Oc tober, and perhaps not until Novem ber. A republican office-holder was back ing Dr. Stewart in Athens.

When the germ theory of disease was first ad vanced that these spores were of ani mal u&ture, and like the bacteria in diphtheria were propagated in the blood, but they are now conceived to be of vegetable origin, like the fungi found on decaying wood or in cellars. Tlie source of this state of the air is generally swamps or stagnant pools, tlally dried by the hot sun, vapors loaded.with this ma larial poison. These vapors descend to the earth in the night, cooled by the loss of temperature, and breathed by sleepers are readily inhaled. Hence persons living near stagnant pools or manthesare liable to beaffiict- ed with cqiils and fever, and such lo calities are never healthy, though they are more so when the streams flowing into them are pure, and also when the water is high. Again the drainage of houses, slaughter houses, barns, etc., are a fertil source of mala ria. One will often notice in coming into the neighborhood of one of these sluggish streams that pass through al most every villa a most villainous smell caused by the offensive refuse which communicates its bad odor to the atmosphere, especially on iiot days.

Confederate Bonds.—The milk in the cocoanut of the Confederate bond purchase Is said to be "orders from European capitalists, who will make the employment of new capital in the southern states conditional upon the states caring for the Confed erate promises to pay." Either this is a lie or else the fools are not all dead yet." ’ r . ^ Deposed from Office.—We learn the republican convention that con vened in Athens last Saturday took Madison Davis, our colored postmas ter, from the chairmanship in this district, and elected W.

This Is a happy, suggestion, for Mr. Barrow is one of the ablest states men to-day in Georgia. He hits carved a name that Is national, and will relied honor upon his stale. We will refer to this matter again. At Woodstock, Ont., a young woman committed suicide by making a fire and standing over it until she was al most roasted alive. Gen.

The indications ot malarial poisaQing are loss of appetite, short ness of breath, pains about tlie heart, wastiug of tlesh and strength, despon dency, nervousness, chilly sensations, unaccountable lassitude, dull pains in various parts of the body, head ache, dizziness, a coated tongue and dry mouth, night sweats, muscular debility, puffiiug under the eyes, tin unusual color, odor or sediment about the fluids passed from the system, etc. Any one of the above symptoms may be au indication of malarial poisor. in the body, which necessitates immedi ate and careful attention.

Friend* and feUow*ciUxcn*, ladies and gentle men : I must confess to a feeling of embarrass* uient In appearing before you to-night.

And, secondly, be cause of a natter of not the slightest interest to the public, and yet naturally of some concern to myself. Through a mistake of friends, who, 1 am aure, would hare been deeply pained by the thought or causing me the slightest embarrass ment, it has been repeatedly announced from the Atlanta Constitution that I proposed to speak at different points in the state upon the political issues before the people. Now. although It is un doubtedly true that rarefy, of late, have I cared to be heard upon auy political topic, yeti* is equally true that 1 am not unwilling to apeak to any of my people--! mean, of course, the people of Georgia—who mat' desire to hear me, upon any tilting occasion. But it Is doar that I cannot make the occasion for myself, by my own appointment, as if I were a candid ate nominated by a political conventivii, pr werq a self-nominated todei for penonol preferment. I am hkjfpy in the belief that I have kind friends in Augusta* in Mi lied Se ville, in Athens; and, should tne notice to which I have referred chance to come to their attention, Ii pray permission to avail myself of this occasion to say thflt 1 purpose putting In print whatever I shall utter to-night, andiwiU esteem its woik pf {Headship In tbeui, and In hay of my friends any where, to read what I sbell say at Ue.r leisure- And now the qneetton comes up in order, what rm 1 to aa y upon “the political Issues before the people?” What political Issues are before tho people of Georgia? We are repeatedly told that men perish, but that principles are immortal and caunot die. And we are correctly so taught, i! to tie principles stall they must be rooted in truth. But what principles ot that nature are now at issue in the present political conflict? I rcisi to the con flict for governor; for with reference to the con gressional contest in this district, 1 shall have not a word to say; hrat, because 1 ara not invited to say it, but secondly and mainly because your aide and distinguisned representative is tuan enough to take care of himself. [Applause.] Iu my iudgraent he needs the asaistauc of no man, and, even if he did, he is cloaely surrounded by strong heads and stout hearts, who will assuredly crown with their appreciation hts success !n the post by speeding him on to yet greater achievement in th*» future [Applause.i In the gubernatorial cam paign I hold that any i.eorgian has a right to apeak auy where in the slate. And, therefore, 1 come to speak to you here; and only constructively by in vitation of the executive committee. I sought the invitation for myself, und am here upon my own motion, to say what I think ought to lie said by me ouce for all; not, however, because! think that Mr. Htepheus needs auy assistance from me, or because 1 have any doubt of hia triumphant elec tion. Phenou enal indeed, aud yet more distress ing, would Im? the bare possibility that, at this late day iu her history, he could be defeated tor any thing boibre the people of Georgia. [Applause.] But i believe that there are some things which, u this campaign, ought to be said by some one; and that, loukiug to my own personal antecedent*, hum Me sod mediocre as I know them to be, I am oue of tho men who can say, and who ought to say them. In sliort, the candidacy of Mr. Stephens brings certain principles and the man together, and iwrfects a theme upon which I am store thau willing to t>e heart!.

No one whose kidneys or liver are in a per fect condition was ever afflicted by malarial poison. And wheu these or gans are disordered, they not only permit, but invite, these diseases to make their inroads into the body. It is now admitted bp physicians, scien tists and the majority of the general public that one medicine, and only one whose power has been tested and { >roven. has absolute control of, and teeps the kidneys and liver in con stant health and hence prevents ma larial sickness. This remedy is War ner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the most popular medicine before the American people, and sold by every druggist in tiie land.

To transact his large business Mr. Darts has assistants and artists for the different departments; him deliver hi* farewell address to Ills < eats upon hi* retirement from pnblie life of physical intimity. The nomination tor vice- president upon the Douglas electoral ticket had been tendered to him—had been pressed upon him—in raiu. nut, when the fair humbler posi tion of elector for the state was offered him, he took it, as I now believe, impelled by the purest dic tates of self-sacritiing patriotism. [Applause.] Never can 1 l*»rget a scene which occurred upon the last, iu date, ot those memorable occasions In the midst of sn appeal to the multitude which thronged the court house square—so powerful in its peculiar eloquence that the very night around us seemed to grow radiant with intellectual light - his strength gave way; he could no longer stand; he believed himself to be actually dying, and ex claimed aa he sank into a chair, gaspingly: “I could not die in a better cause.” [Applause ] The appearance of the man, the intonation ot bis voice, the indescribable mesmeric surroundings— the lawyers would call them the resgestae—of the occasion, left no possible room tor a doubt that we were witnesses of a fare enactment in civil life of the death scene on the Held of battle; which has given to consummate patriotism, for all the ages, the classical words: **Dutce et decorum est pro pairintnoii.*’ It is sweet and honorable for one's country to d<e. [Applause.] Stephens, as the boy, may have been ambitious; Stephens, the man; nay, Stephens even then, may have been ambitions. But, ao an rely as every effect la proof tbe most conclusive or Ita own originating cause, it was not personal ambition wblcn gave hia name to the Douglas electoral ticket; tt was not ambL tlon which placed him u»on that stand that night, if necessary to porish ther •! But the marvelous invalid did not die. 80 far from it the fires of (tat riotism whieh burned in his heart renewed the life of his attenuated frame.

Breckenridge and Douglas were both defeated Lincoln carried the electoral college. All of ui believed that the victor faction were attacking the federal constitution. Most of us believed fa the abstract right or a state to secede. To exercise this sovereign right, or not to ^xerclae It then, that was the question. A question of mere political expediency, it is true, but rapidly developing it- se'f into tho most gigantic issue that has over shaken Georgia or the South. To be considered and decided first by the geueral assembly at if 11- ledgeville, the leading intellects of the state were called thither to confer with the law-makers In her capitol lmlls. There again I heard Mr. Stephens. There again was 1 cons no ordinary popular biteao, bat » «y< from tho tropics. There, too, was t' - etTm the *“ ' tom* too painfully apparent oven to he was struggling in vain, when, toward the close of his effort, he said: “You knew my country men, that 1 do love toy native state!" the magna nimous son* of Mr. Toomb-, which never fotlod when touched by an adequate occasion to rise transcendent even above the grandeur of htt In tellect, brought him to his foot with the memor able words upon uis lips: " Ves! Alec, by heavens! Yon do love your native state." [Ap plause.] Where tt the man who was then upon that floor? where the man now upou this, who does ndt accept the words or the chief in their fullest significance! Yes, he does love his natire state! like the younger Pitt, with no w f* or children of htt own. he does love her with bis "heart of hearts." [Applause.] And there moves not* poor and worthy coy to-day upon her bosom, whom he would not take, it he could, to the warm embrace of a father's arms. [Applause.] SECESSION* The sovereignty of Georgia, in convention em bodied, resolved to secede from the federal union. Where stood Stephens theu? Htt state impas sioned—perchance distempered—had rejected htt counsel, and elsewhere looked for leadership. Saddened, undoubtedly, he must have been, but was he embittered? From htt point of view the future before us was full of darknees and danger. The dread, intuition of the Scotch wlsssrd who wanted LOchiel <>t the mountains, seemed to tie Now. I am not here to declaim against personal ambition. God created it, and itmuethave been mad. for . win purpoM. Hat God *1» mid. fire, and ambition, like fire, may be au invalua ble servant, but it la a terrific master, a t/rant tbe most aavage! [Applause.] Not that tho ambi tious mau neoa bo dishonest, or corrupt or un patriotic. Sure I am that General Dartrell I, neither of these. The trouble Is that ambition may make a man absolutely blind. What la closest «o us In material nature must .vet shut out the remainder of tbe universe. Aschooi- boy s marble placed close to theeye must eclipse the aun In heaven. And I think General Gar- trell haa a marble cloae to hia eye. [Applauae and laughter.] But the atate haa a right to be aeived by her ablest men. [Applaufe.l The God of nature haa given them to her aa he haa given muaclea and nerves to the Individual, and to deprive her of them la to dwarf her, la to rob her of her atrength,!. to cut tho locks from Sam- son a head.

[Applause.] Grand in number, grand in intellect grand in ostrlotism, taking before Stephens at Macon, before Stephens at Mil- ledgeville, with the lurid light of S'lDsequent his tory full upon him, would not bv constrained, as a lover of htt stale, as the constitutional protector of her women and her children, to follow Mr. Stephens? [Applause.] Upon a mere question of political expediency! to the surrender of no coo- stitutlonal right! to the sacrifice of uo moral obli gation: When, by the act of others, the right had been submitted to the arbitrament of war, he, too, gave to the cause htt hand, htt heart, his life, bis all. When I think of him as I saw him In the dis tance, beneath the slanging rays of the declining sun, walking with an armed guard by htt side aloug tbe ramparts of Fort Warren, I not permit ted by word ot lip or pen to tell him how much I had come to revere him; when I think of him as a witness, a disfranchised so-called rebel, witness of state, be (lire an examining commission of con querors, within the walls which had rung so often with his piercing and musical voice; when I pic ture him to myself patiently tolling In his modest Georgia home upon his history of the war between thefstates; when I think of him rejected by the national senate to which htt state had commis sioned him: and, when subsequently defeated, be fore her legislature in this citv, by a gentleman much younger than himself; ana who had won hia fkue ou the field of battle rather than ir.t’the delib erative assembly, returning to htt old place in the lower house; cheersully returning, though stripped Of his old national prestige, and there again battling, aa he has always bottled every where, for the great principles of republican liberty, I must con fee* that at the slightest impu tation upon his loyalty to Georgia or the south, my entire being, mental, moral, physical, rises in re* volt. [Applause.] It may be natural for some to feign hypocritical fealty to a cause they did not original* and cannot lead; let such an one remem ber that each of us carries within himself the standard by which to measure our common hu- mapity: and that tbe harshest criticism htt un generous suspicions may pass upon another, will meviuddy become with the honorable heart and Intelligent mind, condemnation the most crushing of himself Lot such an oae beware how he cuts htt own mud at Georgia's favorite! [Applause. 1 SOME SOLID SENSE. Before I leave the man, let me read to you a sin gle extract from the volume which 1 hold in my hand ; his own language recently s,H>ken and wnicn should be token to the heart of every Georgian. "And now, after tho severe chastisement of war, if the general sense of the whole country shall come back to the acknowledgment of the original assumption that it tt for the best interests of all tbe states to be so united, as I trust it will—the ♦tales still being separate as the billows but one as the sea—I can foresee no reason why, under such 'efitorsLion, we, as a whMe. with peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, and en tangling alliances with none, may not enter upon a new career, exciting increased wonder in the old world by grander achievements hereafter to be made, than auy heretofore attained, by the peace ful and harmonious workings of our American in- stitations of self government. All this 1s possible if the hearts of the people be right. It is unr earn est wish to see it. Fondly would I indulge my fonev in fusing on such a picture of the future. With what rapture may we not suppose the spirits of our fathers would boil its opening scenes from their mansions above. Such are my hopes resting on fluch contingencies." The next page contains averse which might well have made its appear ance here: “A land there will be toward the setting sun Frrah as it Kden were again begun; Two great twin oceans bathe the happy shore, A ad fancy, looking, oould not ask for more." "But If, instead of all this, the passions of tho dsv shall continue to bear sway; if prejudice shall rule the hour; if a conflict of races shall arfre; if ambition turn tbe scale; if the sword shall be thrown into the balance against patriotism ; if the embers of the late war shall be kept glowing until, with new fuel, they shall flame up again, theu our present gloom is but the shadow, the penumbra of that deeper and darker eclipse which is totsliy to oliscure this hemisphere and blight forever the anxious anticipations, and expectations of man kind. Then hereafter by some bard it may be sung: «»►»..'• ' • ■ ■ "The star of Hope shon? brightest in the west, The hope of Liberty, the last, the best; That, too, has set upon her darkened shore, ▲nd Hope and Freedom light up earth no more.” [Applause!] * ARGUMENTS. And now is any one inclined to say, "You have sung your pean of hero worship to ‘the mau,’ what have you to say absut the remainder of your argument, the 'principle V " Indeed, indeed, I feel that I have spoken in vain, if the moral of my story hue not developed itself. "Go whithersoever vour country may call you ; be preferred to serve her in any positiou to which you may be assigned ; recognize iu the voice of the majority, fairly ex pressed, upon all questions that do not involve your personal relationship to God, the soveieign will of your country ; temper and control your per sonal ambition; sink yourself In your country." [Applause.} Does any one say, "Have you brought such trite and familiar commonplaces to utter them here to us? Go tell them to schoolboys! We expected to hear about principles upou which government is to be conducted." To meet some such intimation, I will place a witness u|»on the stand to prove to you to-night that these are the principles, upon which, at ttst,.all true republican civilization must depend ; it can rest on none oth er. No willing, though an Imperial, witness is mine *, no admirer of the republics, but a loving devotee t* the Ciesara—of history. His name is Louis Napoleon, ol France. His testimony is to be found in hi* Life of Julius Cu*sar. I have brought the book. My countrymen, Georgians, Americans, let me say to you that, *as you hear the sentences tail from my lips, you will come to realise that these pages are for us, by far the most significant of all history, ancient or modern: "The first citizens presented the most remarka ble examples of integrity aud self denial. Marcus Valerius Corvus, after occupying twenty-one cur- ule offices, returns to hia fields without fortuue, though not without glory. Fabius Kullianua, iu the midst of htt victories and. triumphs, forgets his resentment towards Pa pi ri us Cursor, and names him dictator, sacrificing thus his private feeling* to the interests of his country.” “The senate, we have seen, pat in practice the principles whiefo found empires and the virtues to which war gives birth. Thus, for all the citizens, equality of rights; In tkei^ of danger to their country, equality of duties aud even suspension of liberty. To tbe most worthy, honors and the command." "The example is furnished by the most illustri ous and richest families. At the com bat near the Cramers the three hundred and six otthe Fabti who all, according to litua Livius, were capable of filling the highest offices, perished fighting. I.ater, at Conns, eighty senators, who had enrolled them selves as mere soldiers, fell ou the field of battle. Tbe triumph is accorded tor victories whieh en* larged the territory, but not for .those which ouly recovered lost ground. No triumph In civil wars. In such case, success be what it may, is always* subject lor public mourning. The consuls or pro- consuls seek to be. useful to their country without (also susceptibility; to-day iu the (list rank, to morrow in the second, they serve with the same devotion under the orders of him whom they com manded the previous day. Servilius, consul in 2*1, becomes, the year following the lieutenant of Valerius. Fabius, after so many triumphs, con sents to be oaly lieutenant to his son." "The great Scipio himself, after the defeat or Hannibal, serve* os lieutenant under his brother in the war against Antiochus." utour throat »li the counties of Gwinnett, ■ Ci gr&na in intellect, grand in patri< for ito centre that phenominal Georgian who is the grandest illustrator of all. [Applause ] I remember when, for the last time, Genetal Lee came to Savannah, and anticipated hit coming by an urgent request that there should be no mani festation, civil or military, that not even his friends in numbers should meet him upon htt arri val, I heard noon the atreet that the great heart of the people had sent its life-blood to greet him. and yet to embarrass him. At first I was pained, but aa l reflected, l heard a refrain deep down in tny heart- “The cause is lost, hut there is life in the old land yet." [Applause.] And, at evciy step as » moved toward home, the cry became louder and louder, "There is life In the old land yet." And when, recently, the tongne which, for more than a generation, hod thrilled the state ami the coun try, and had made the listening senate and the listening multitude move, feel and act like a single man, was forever silenced ; hut the same mesmeric power passed to the toiling heart, whose every pul iation was sending anguish through tbe arteries of the state to her remotest confines, making of her eotire people a single sufferer in the midst of the gloom, the words would come "Thera is life in the old land yet!" [Applause.] But the lile of the state lain the lives and the memorial of her great men. What would he Car thage but tor the aingle name of her peerless Han nibal? Bat Georgia nos more than one Hannitwl; were it to be heard to-morrow morning that Alex ander H. Stephens was dead, we all of us know that the Mue great sob of agony would go up from the heart’ot tb« *tate.[Applausc.j But better hou- or the great man living than the great man dead. [Applause.] Especially if by honoring the man you protect and exalt your state. [Applause.] Let us. then, bear him up on the shoulders of tne state! Let ua take t >e soul from the wheels upon which the body rolls, and let us place hint at Georgia's head. [Applause.] From the hearts of ner true sons, irrespectively of party, or color, or station, from the mountains to the seaboard, will then come up the joyous refrain. "There’s life, there's life in the old laud yet!" [Prolonged applause.] CAMPAIGN NEWS. A Big Candler Boom from the Mountains and the Lower Countlos. There is no doubt about Banks gain;; five to one for the “One-Eyed Flow- Boy.” The Young Democracy of Athens are now confident that Clarke will give Can dler a majority. It is now coneeded that Franklin will give Candler 300 majority, while Mad ison is almost a unit. They say you may travel all day and not find a Speer man In Gwinnett coun ty. Borne estimate Candler’s majority at 800 there. Col. Price says he knows Lumpkin county like a hook, and there is no doubt of its going tor Candler by between 300 and 400 majority. Mr. Speer lias a radical negro making public speeches for him through the mountains, and he is changing hundreds of votes to Ca idler. They say Fannin is the only county North of the Air-Line where there is any possibility of Speer getting a majority, and it will be very small even there. Col. A. B. C. Dorsey says there is not a shadow of a doubt about Hall giving Candler over 1,000 majority. The col* ored vote there is almost a unit for him. We learn that Mr. Speer acknowledged at Gainesville that he was defeated; but says he will run Candler a close race. Most of Ills friends have given up all hope.

Hard doctrine this; not to be carried tully Into practice ! But hard doctrine also tbecolestial teachingsef the Christian religion! Who can hope to live fully up to their Injunctions? and yet, without the Christian religion, what would become of the civilized world? And now I ask each one of yon, my countrymen, to look to tho truth of our own history. Point me to the man who. above all other living Georgians —n*v, above all other living American statesmen —comes nearest up to the Itontau standard of pub lic virtue. Can there a doubt ? I appeal to every one present; I core not to wlutt party he belongs; standing, as we do now, (n the presence of historic troth, who, I ask. comes nearest up to this lofty patriotism ?

Rat hat despotic government ever exnf — Jackson, Banks, Madison and Franklin, says he found but two Speer men, and they were drunk. Col. Dorsey says Candler will come to tlie Air-Line with at least 2,000 majori- Ity; and the lower counties will meet him there with 1,000 more. Paste this estimate in your hat. Even the 8peer men concede Haber sham to Candler. The “Plow-Boy of Pigeon Roost” made a splendid Impres sion there, ar.d changes from Speer are being made by the hundreds. In Forsyth, Gilmer and Union coun ties Candler has twenty supporters to .Sjteer’s one. We get this from a gentle man who has just returned from that 8'jctlon, and investigated the matter. There are but three Speer men in Xacoochee valley, and two of them will doubtlesschange. White county is almost aunit for “the mountain cracker,” as the Speer men down this way call Col. Can dler. A party of 40 representative men from Jackson county met the other day to clean ofTCabin Creek association ground. The claims of Candler and Speer came up, when a vote was taken anil the count tound to stand, Candler, 40; Speer, 0000. At a camp-meeting held above Gaines ville, a few days since, of tbe immense crqwd present Speer did not have but three supporters. Some one took the eeusus. It was a regular Candler meet ing, and Uie gathering was from sever al mountain counties. The chaigemade by Speer’s friends in Athens, that a mountaineer hasn’t sense enough to represent this district in congress, is diiving hundreds of the wool-hat boya to their own candidate. These “country crackers," as the inde- IienderU term them down here, are mighty clanish, and will show to the world that they can raise just as good and smart men a*. Mr, Emory Speer. “The one-eyed mountalu hoosier," as some of t>e Speerites now term Col- Candler, will carry nine-tenths the farm ers and nearly every old Confederate In tho -ninth district. His enemies are welcome to all tlie capital they can make cut of the facts that Col. Candler was ,ouee a pbor plow-boy and had an eye s.iot out in defence of his country.
