Thu following resolution was passed um-nimously by the Executive Com mittee for the 9th Congressional Dis trict which recently assembled in Gainesville: Resolved, That we recommend and earnestly request that primary meet ings or elections be held in each county in the district on the first Tuesday in July next for the purpose of selecting delegates to this conven tion.” Iu obedience to the above resolu tion and in order that a fair expres sion of the will and ^choice of the people may be had in the selection of delegates to represent Clarke county in the nominating Conven tion to be held at Gainesville ou Thursday, the first day of August next, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for the 46th Congress, I hereby respectfully request that ou the 1st Tuesday in July next the polls in each militia district iu the county he opened according to law, at which limc,^ and at the places designated, the voters in the several precincts are requested to cast their votes for three (3) delegates and three (3) alternates to represent the county in the Congressional Conven tion.

Every Democratic voter in the county of Clarke, including all the members of the Executive Committee are requested to meet at Deupree Hall on Saturday, the 29th inst. (June) at 12 M.

An absence from the city of the Editor-in-chief of about three weeks, together with sickness in his family has prevented the usual amount of editorial matter during*that, time and will account for its scarcity in this issue. Does not the recent “gratuitous in sult” of Mr, Stephens to his constit uency indicate that the “Great Com moner” is in liis dotage ? Clarke County Politics. Elsewhere we publish the call of Hon. S. JI. Hunter for primary elec tions to be held in the militia districts of the county on the first Tuesday in July next. Also of Dr. R. Smith, Chairman of the Democratic Club of the Comity, urging the party to as semble in Mass Meeting at Dupree Hall at 12 o’clock, on Saturday, the 29th inst. The importance of either or both calls, as affecting the future welfare of the party cannot he over estimated, and we earnestly hoffe that every Democrat in the county will heed them. It is now agreed that Congress will adjourn Thursday. Capt. Burke, of the (Atlanta) Gate City Guards, proposes to take his company on an excursion to Europe the first of next Juno. Affairs between Euglaud and Russia are progressing satisfactorily to the citizens of the two countries and of course the soldiers are glad of ir,. A Henry county correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution suggests Hon. Daniel Pittman, of Fulton county, as a suitable candidate for Congress. The Forty-fifth Congress has a majority of Democrats but they are very nervous, and with the exception ofllqn. Wm. E. Smith, the Georgia Delegation are afraid to do right. Hurrah for Tete Smith, of the 2nd. The hark, Azur, which sailed from Charleston, April 21st, with two hundred and fifty negro immigrants arrived at Liberia May 19th.

It will yet he shown that the will of the majority of the American people was set aside in the election of 1876, and it will be done without revolution. In the next campaign we want a man as standard bearer with more nerve, than Tilden, and an Executive Chairman with less government securities than Abram Hewitt had. Truth is we had better draw on the West and South for leaders and let the East continue to speculate in bonds, etc. Hon. A. H. Stephens, according to his own declaration, will not seek nor decline a nomination for re- electiou to Congress from the Eighth Congressional District. Still, if the Democratic Convention is to meet at Thomson should fail to endorse his conduct and renominate him they, (the members of the Convention,) will he tricksters. Has the gieat Commoner forgotten the unanimous action of the last Congressional nomi nating Convention which met at Thomson, when Col. Barnes, of Au gusta, in an eloquent speech, endors ing his previous political course, moved his nomination by acclamation which he gratefully accepted ? Were these fi iends and admirers political tricksters? So far as we are con cerned if the Hon. Aleck, does not declare himself uncompromisingly Democratic we hope and believe he can be beaten. His challenge to the combined intellect of the Eighth District that if bis conduct as a na tional representative was not endorsed by his constituents would make the latter tricksters and ignoramuses is quite a broad challenge. Our opin ion is that if the Hon. Aleck should be defeated the world would still move. ‘Notwithstanding his age, the Hon. Hurscliell V. Johnson would make a better representative than Stephens, anyhow. Then, we don’t believe he would be willing to run for Vice President with Grant in 1880. If Mr. Johnson should decline the honor Hon. Patrick Walsh would he a noble standard hearer lor the young Democracy of the Eighth District. Mr, Stephens 1 * Gratuitous In sult” to the 8th Congress ional District. For robust egotism, for gigantic self-importance, and for base ingrati tude, far excelling anything within the annals of history, we would cite au outraged and insnltcd Democracy to the recent letter of Hon. A. II. Stephens to his constituency of the 8th Congi e-siotial district. Just to think that this man who in a groat degree owes his all to the people of the old 8th District, calls them trick sters and attempts to bemoan them for even venturing to criticize his public acts. Just to think that after thus terming them, lie says in sub stance, “ 'you fools if you should ac cidentally, intentionally or otherwise nominate me, I will accept it, trick sters though you be, hut should you acting upon my insult sec fit to do otherwise, that I the great apostle of wisdom, the inagnus Apollo, will teach you a lesson by running inde pendent atid rough-shod" over your rights, your liberties and those cus toms which are only good when I and my political interests are ad- anced thereby.’' We propose in our next to give a full review and criticism of the letter of this man who so complacently culls the people fools and tricksters, and compares himself to Socrates aud Julius Cassar. Remember, ]>ofitical ingrates shall receive their just rewards at the hands of a liberty loving pople. Independents. For a man to claim that .he is an Independent Democrat is as absurd a proposition as it would be for one to claim that he is a black white man, or a white black man. If he is an Independent he is no Democrat, for his proclamation of independence of Democratic usage and custom puts him entirely out of the pale of De mocracy and sets him upon a hook of his own construction. TUa.polo nies by, the declaration'of indepen dence, severed the connection that existed between them and'Great Britain and it would be just as ab surd for the British people to “claim the United States as a part of their dominion, as it is for Independents who proclaim themselves Indepen dent of the Democratic organization to call themselves „ Democrats. If the Independents were to succeed iu the job they have undertaken of rebellion against the organized De mocracy, by a fusion of all the dissat isfied, disgruntled and disappointed elements in the Democratic party, then they would set themselves up in a new organization under a new name, leaving off the Democratic name altogether. They only hold on to that uame, because they know the party is a power in the land and if they wore how to cut loose from it entirely, they would stand no chance for success. The seeds sown during Martin Van Buren’s term as President of the United States and called “Free- soilors,” afterwards blossomed into fife as full fledged Republicans—the organization which had for its ob ject, the freeing ot the slaves of the South and came near disrupting the Union. The “Freesoilors” were mod erate in their demands at first and set out, like the Independents of to day, simply to correct abuses. The embryo was an innocent as* a lamb, but the full grown organization was as terrible and destructive as a lion. The history of the recent past, and the picture that is before the coun try to-day are sufficient proofs of this. The honest men of the party are deserting it like rats leaving a burning barn. They cannot go en masse into the ranks of the Democ racy and therefore they are found, many of them’ bobbing round with the so-called independents crying “ wolf” as lustily as they used to do, when the bloody shirt was tho in signia of the true Republican. We desire to warn all Democrats against this independent movement. It was inaugurated and is engineered to gratify the inordinate ambition of those who cannot hope for endorse- I ment by a body of the people’s chosen representatives* hut who vain ly dream of attaining unmerited promotion by uniting and hybridiz ing all of the discordant elements in the country. The success of this or that indi vidual is of but little moment to the people who desire the restoration and perpetuity of good government, but the triumph of principle is of supreme importance. Therefore stick to your principles and to your party, and if evils exist, assist in cor recting them inside of the organiza tion. Evils in party organization like evils in government affairs are cured most effectually by working among your friends and not by coalescing with your enemies.—Gainesville Eagle. IT the Democracy of the 8ih Dist. should nominate lion. Aleck, all well and good. If not then he says they are tricksters, and fools, not worthy of his respectful consideration and that he will teach the people aMesson by running independent and rough shod over their lights and their liberties. Perhaps Mr. Stephens will change liis opinion about t/ke 5th of November next, when the Demo cratic edict is rendered, and hardly consider it hut a brutum fulmen. The old soldiers of the 8th should remember Old Man Aliek’s war re cord. Does Hon. Aleck Stephens think that by offering a “ gratuitous in sult” to the Demociacy of the 8th Congressional District, it will secure him a position on the next Presideut- al ticket with Grant the tyrant whom he so eulogized and for whom he be came the earnest apologist? Re member Little Aleck, this wont pan out, worth a cent, and that about the 5th day of November next, you will he left out in the cool to “tote your own little independent skillet.” A TOURISTSTHOUGIITS. AN ATLANTA MERCHANT’S IMPRESS IONS OF FOREIGN LANDS. Atlanta Constitution. We have been permitted to pub lish the following highly interesting letter, written by Mr. J. F. Kiser, of the wholesale dry goods firm of M. C. & J. F. Kiser. It will be seen that Mr. Kiser has combined business with pleasure, and inaugurated direct trade with Europe. In this praise worthy undertaking he has the good wishes of every lover of his country and this sterling firm deserves the patronage it will receive. A true merchant is ever alive to projects by whi.-h his customers can get the best goods for the least money. We must congratulate the Messrs Kiser on this masterly enterprise, and wish them the fullest success : Langham Hotel, Portland PlaceJ London, W., May 28, 1878. My Dear Brother—Since coining up to my room I have just thought that as the steamer sails day after to morrow from Liverpool, and as I had purposed writing by it, I must do so to-night, if I would get it t ft in time. a treat missed. I arrived iu London on Saturday at 10 p. m. I had intended to go and hear Dr. Spurgeon preaeli on Sun day, but, having lost so much sleep the preceding week, I did not get out of my room until noon. Thus, you see, I lost the greatest treat that the Loudon pulpit affords. a call for cash. On Monday morning my first visit was to call on Messrs Seligman Brothers, as I was running short oj sovereigns. Messrs S. & Bro’s very readily cashed my draft, and were very kind in every way to me. LIKE BVAN HOWELL. ' My travelling companion now is a Mr. Griswold, of Montreal, Canada, a,good match for Evan Howell. RAMBLING AROUND. We left Seligman Bro’s, aud very near their office wo found the Bank of England,. We stepped in and were shown through the Bank. It was quite a show to see them shovel- j ing gold and silver coin as we do j coal in Georgia. We then drove to many other pla ces of note, among them the Londo > tower, Charing cross bridge, Prince Albert hall, Hyde park, and last, hut not least, I spent all the forenoon in the latter place to-day, and I feel that it alone has justly repaid me for my trip to this country. 1 saw at least one thousand ladies riding horseback. It is the most elegantly arranged park I ever visited. The track for horseback riding is in the center; next is the promenade and then the seats ; outside of this comes a most beautiful drive where you can see all the nobility either driving or on horseback. I saw the Prince of Wales ^driving four beautiful grey.-) followed by the German embassador, driving his four-in-hand. LINGERING ON THE SCENE. I shall go to Alexandria’s park to morrow it being tho last day of the tournament of the blooded young ladies, where prises are to he awarded for the best rider and leaper. I start for Paris to-moirow even ing. I received a telegram to-day from Mr. Barnes of Glasgow, stating that he would he here at 8:30 a. m., to morrow, so wejwill visit Paris togeth. er. I have been received with a hearty welcome at every place. AN IMPORTANT MOVE. I wrote you by the last steamer that I had bought quite a lot ofgoeds at Bradford and Manchester, such as alpacas, pure mohairs,|Italian cloths, black velvets, corduroy, and white goods; as well as a lot of lace win dow curtains and other laces, at Nott ingham. I will buy a stock of dress goods in Paris. I ordered what I bought to be shipped on the 1st of July, as that will be early enough for our trade. They will get to you by the first of August. I could not help hut think, when making these purchases, of the won derful strides Atlanta is making in the business world. It seems but a few days Jsince we were content to exhibit a few hundred dollars’ worth of ordinary wares from neighboring points. Then we spread out, and searched the metropilis of the conti nent (New York) for first-class goods; and now, as we once bursted the provincial style of business, so we have outgrown the fetters of the two oceans, and organized direct trade with the manufacturers, regardless of the space that intervenes. It augurs not only the increasing importance of Atlanta, hut shows the increasing wealth of the South, when her mer chants, avoiding tjie imposition of New York merchants, become them selves importers, and thus give their patrons every advantage "of pureba sing from first hands. Aside from the duty we owe our country to be come independent ofintermediaries, I find from the purchases I have al ready made adding the freight, that we can sell goods profitably at prices that never have been approached in Atlanta. Returning home, I shall go aboard Queenstown, after spending a few days at Belfast. no land like our own. I can see the cable dispatches eve ry morning from New York in the Loudon Times, and you may depend I am sure to read everything that re lates to the United Statesr I feel a little more inclined to take up for the United States now, as those English men often call us yankees, but after all the Americans are a sharper people than the English. I will write you again soon. I am, as ever, your brother, J. F. Kiser. Mr. M. C. Kiser, Atlanta, Ga.

The world still needs two or three new kinds of medicine, before death can be perfee.lv abolished ; but that many lives have been prolonged, and many sufferers from Liver dhea.se, Dispepsia and Headache, have been cured by Mor rell’s Hepatine, is no longer a doubt.
