The steamship Gen. Barnas, which
arrived here yesterday from New

young man named S. M. Drcher, a
passenger who had died on the trip
out. He was in very delicate health
and was on his way to his home in
Montgomery, Alabama. Mr. George
Drehc-r, his father, had come to
Sivannnhto meet him, and was in
expressibly shocked, when on board

was a corpse. The afflicted parent

Mr. S. M. Dreher was at one time

Pursuant to a call of the Chairman
of the DemoiiVatic Executive Com
mittee ot Clarke county, a meeting
of the Democracy was held at
Deuprec Hall, on Saturday, the 29th
tilt. The meeting was called to
order by the Chairman, Dr. R. .. .
Smith, who after stating the object
of the caii to be a reorganization of
the Democratic Executive Committee
of the county, tendered bis resigna
tion. His re-ignation was accpted
and a vote of thanks tendered him
for the able and impartial discharge
of the duties of his office. Owing to
the feebleness of Dr. Smith, Col. S.
C. DoLhs was called to the Chair.
Upon motion a committee was ap
pointed to report names for Chair
man, Vice-Chairman, S eerctary ami
Treasurer and members of the Exec-
u'.ive Committee. 'The Committee
reported that the cons.nation re
quired, that a Chairman, a Vice-
Chairman, a Secretaiy and Treasurer
lie elected, and that the Chairman
appoint the members of the Execu
tive Committee, whereupon the meet
ing proceeded to an election, when
the following were elected unani
mously and by acclamation:
Col. S C. Dobbs, Chairman; Mr.
J. R. Crane, Vice-Chairman; P. G.
Thompson, Esq., Secretary and
Treasurer. The Chairman then ap
pointed the folio win 4

Pitman, J. X. Bradbery, W. I. Tuck,
W. H. Hull, Win. F. Matthew* and
Win. II. Jones.
Mr. P. G. Thompson offered the
following resolutions which were
seconded by Capt. Pope Barrow, in
an able, earnest and most eloquent
speech’.entreating the Democracy to
stand firm by those principles and
that organization which ha i forever
proven the safe guard of Constitution
al government and thu desertion ot
which had caused that cm nipt ion
auvliippECdsiou from which our conn
try had so iiiuch suffered, and from
which, thank God, through the
strong arm of the Democracy the
country was about to be relieved.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted which are as follows:
Resolved, Tnat in union there is
strength. That the success of the
Democratic party depends upon a
strict and universal adherance to
Democratic principles and usages.
2. Resolved, That the Democratic
party ot Clarke county pledges its
undivided and earnest support to
whoever may be regularly nomi-
lted as a candidate for Congress, at
the ensiling Gainesville Convention.
3. Resolved, That we look with
ilisapproval upon the Independent
movement, believing that it will, if
not checked, result disastrously to
thorough Democratic organization
and prove a source of m little en
couragement to the rebuilding up of
the Radical party in the State of
Georgia.
The Chairman then stated that a
primary election would be held or,
Tuesday 2d of July, for delegates to
represent the county in the Gainsville
Convention, which would arsemble
the 18.li of August. II.- urged all
to bear the election in mind and pole
the full vole of the county. The
meeting was iht-n upon motion ad
journed’. S. C.'Dobbs, Cli’in.
P. G. TiSoiireoN, Sec.
The meeting of the Democracy on
Saturday was nnusually large one
fully second tLo resolution as well
a« the sentiments expressed by
the mover in his remark-. It was
surely unnecessary for him to argue
to this meeting the soundness of
Democratic principles. Every gen
.tlenian present he presumed to be a
Democrat and thoroughly wedded to
ihe principles of the party. He
would not talk about organized
Democracy. That was a perversion
of terms. There is no other sort of
Democracy' except organized De
mocracy. If you say you are a
Democrat, it follows of course that
you belong lo the organization. If a
voter sees proper to attack the party,
he has a right to do so. He may
pick flaws and find grievances, and
demand redress, but when the griev
ances are removed, and the redress is
given, and the abuses are leformedj
there is no excuse for continuing the j
attack. If it is continued longer, it |
is for sonic other reason. The prin
ciph-8 ot the Democratic parly are
well known. They have been the
source of all the blessings that the
people have enjoyed, and a violation
< f them has been the causes ofall our
troubles. Those who believe in
the.-e principles find a home in the
Democratic paity organization. It
is tlioir only exponent. If you find
people who repudiate the organiza
tion, you may safely say it is because
it- principles do not suit them.
They have a right to differ. They
may lie honorable gentlemen and
good citizens, but they are not
Democrats.
But he said he was not a politician,
and not competent to instruct tlum
Gov. Alfred H. Colquitt.
Our city council, by resolution, last
February extended the hospitalities
of this community to our honored
chief Executive and Staff during the
August Convention of the Georgia
State Agricultural Society, and ex
pressed at the same time an earnest
desire that they would grace and
dignify the Commencement exercises
of the State University, by th^ir
presence. The Trustees of the Uni
versity could then honor themselves
by electing “ our Governor” a mem
ber of their body. He is an earnest
friend of University education, and
his deepest sympathies are with the
farmers of Georgia and our State
College of Agricultural and Mechanic
Arts.
