FOR SE\A Ton THIRTY FIRST DISTRICT.
[Y* Tin- Friends of F. B.'IIODGKS, Kq., reapert
billy nnnitaate him as a auitahlc candidate for Sana
tar of the Slat District. composed of llart, Franklin,
and llaliemhaiti Count!aa, at thi- ensuing election to
la-In-Id ml the First Wednesday in December, 1877.
For Senator.
It will lie observed that F. B.
Hodges, Esq., of our town, has boon
announced in this paper as etyididute
for the responsible position of Senator of
the 31st District, and it is hardly neces
sary for us to say that lie is in every
way worthy and well qualified to fill this
position with honor and credit to himself
and to the satisfaction of our people.
"We do not think that he will have any
opposition, and have no doubt ot his
election.
The War.
Fighting still continues with varying
success, but in the main the Turks have
the advantage. It is now generally
conceded by military men that a winter
campaign is inevitable, and the Grand
Duke’s “ On to Constantinople ” will re
sult somewhat like McClellan’s “On
to Richmond.” Russia has lost pres
tige as the giant kingdom of Europe,
while Turkey—“ the sick man ” —has
proven himself a lively convalescent.
IWe want the new Constitution
ratified. We want Joe Brown Gov
ernor one time more. He would man
age public affairs as he does his private
matters —with success and ability. The
great mistake the Southern Confederacy
made was in not electing him President.
If they had the result would have been
far different to what it is. Jeff and
Alex were like oil and water—they
would not mix. “By the Eternal,’'
Joe would have shouldered the respon
sibly, and would have carried all
through triumphantly.
Jt&T We arc sorry that we cannot
give our subscribers the new Constitu
tion this week, but the printing house
from which we ordered sends us word
that they have distributed the type.
However, we hope to bring it out next
week. You will have time to read it.
8T A disastrous fire occurred in
New York on the 3d iust., involving a
fearful loss of life and a million dollar’s
worth of property. The fire originated
in Hale’s piano factory, a huge eight
story building, which was destroyed.

North Georgian.
No section of Georgia furnished a better
and more working lot of Delegates to the
Constitutional Convention, than North
East Georgia. They arc all sober, think
ing, upright men, and the journal will show
when published, that they were reformers,
And cast their votes invariably in the inter
ests of the tax-payers of Georgia. The
Constitution that was finally adopted is
their Constitution, they voted with the ma
jority almost invariably, were for the Con
stitvtion as each section was agreed to, and
didn't therefore have to perform any suin-
Tnersault in the last two or three days of
their work, in order to be on the big side.
Ilolcomb, Boyd, Clarke, Bryant, Graham,
rthe Underwoods, Mosley, Osborn, YVel
born, Brown and Stephens, will long be
remembered for the part they acted in
making the Constitution of 1877.

Augusta Ga., Sep. 3.—The city council
passed the following by a unanimous vote.
The city council is entirely democratic :
“ Whereas, Suice his inauguration as
'president of the United States, Rutherford
B. Hayes has shown his intention of ad
ministering the great trust confided to his
keeping in strict accordance with the con
stitution and laws of his country ; has en
deavored to purify the civil service of the
•government, has restored local self govern
ment to the south ; has manifested a sin
cere desire to destroy sectional feeling, to
heal the wounds of war, and give peace to
a portion of the union so much in need of
its blessings, and
Whereas, These things entitle him to the
respect and approval of all good citizens,
irrespective of party—
Resolved, That as a mark of esteem in
which we hold him, we, the city council of
Augusta, hereby extend an invitation to
the president and such members of his
cabinet as may attend him to visit the city
•°[ Augusta during his sonthern tour, and
pledge to him a cordial welcome on the
part of all our citizens.
Some of the \ irginia negroes are making
anew departure in politics. At a recent
celebration of the colored people in Kin"
George County, they refused to hear po
litical speeches, and declared they favored
good men for all offices, irrespective of
party.

Southern Watchman.
Happening to be down street one day
last week, we met Mr. W. {|, .Jones, su-1
nerintendent of the above mammoth estab- j
lishmcnt, who invited us to walk in and ex
amine their stock.
We accompanied him, and were really
surprised to see the immense stock of cook
ing, heating and office stoves, ranges, grates
Ac., together with the largest assortment
of tin-ware that has ever been exhibited
in this city. We are satisfied that anyone
who fails to buy a stove at this establish
ment after examining their stock, dom’t
want one at ail. as they have them of all
kinds, sizes and prices.
Mr. .Tones showed ns something new to
us, called “ iron granite ware,” used for
tea and coffee-pots. &c., which we think is
very desirable, us it saves a great deal of
trouble in keeping clean. Call and ex
amine it.
They keep a very large stock of all kinds
of tin-ware, of their own manufacture, and
all goods sold by them are warranted to
give satisfaction.

Through your columns permit me to
nominate Henry Ward Beecher, now on
exhibition at the Twain Mountain House,
to the vacant pulpit of the dead Mormon
Ilrigham Young. This, you perceive car
ries with it the right also to administer
spiritual consolation to the forty odd
mourning widows of the defunct polyga
mist. Asthe saints of Salt I.ake are un
de s ood to be easting about for a suitable
successor able to fdl every requirement of
their creed, there seems to me an eminent
fitness in the above suggestion—physically,
morally, by education and training.
Gen. Toombs' Opinion.
Atlanta stands with her credit intact.—
She has dealt fairly and honestly with her
creditors and I hope the people of Georgia,
for what she has done, will make her the
perpetual capital of the State. llow did
you save yourselves from the fate of your
sister cities? You had the w'isdom to ask
the Legislature to put a check upon your
power even before the convention met. —
You had wise men to control vour affairs.
You had lost $.‘{l)O,(MM), stolen from you in
the Air-Line railroad, and vast sums in
other enterprises. You saw whither you
were drifting, and you stopped it. You are
entitled to he the capital of the State.
Business, is reviving in Augusta.
Brigham Young left nineteen wives and
seventy-three children to mourn his loss.
Somebody attempted to kill a Savannah
lady recently by putting ground glass in
her soup.
An enthusiastic Georgia editor remarks :
“ There is something grand about Toombs,
no matter what he does.”
The Summerville Gazette has been in
foi mod that members'of the'.convention
w r ept for hours after adjournment.
Mr. Robert I.ongford, of Madison county
was kicked in the stomach by a mule the
other day. The mule will never have an
opportunity to kick him any more.
The Governor of Wyoming Territory
has issued a proclamation for the election
of members to the Territorial Legislature,
September 11. The women vote in that
Territory.
The new Kentucky Legislature will stand
one Granger, six Workingmen, five Inde
pendent Democrats, thirteen Republicans
and one hundred and thirteen Unadultera
ted Democrats, in the lower branch, and
one Republican in the upper.
The new Constitution says that the pow
er of taxation may Vie exercised over the
whole State “to supply those who lost a
limb or limbs in the military service of the
Confederate States, with substantial artifi
cial limbs during life.” This just and hu
mane provision alone will rally every ex-
Confeaerate soldier who was true to him
self and country during the war, to its
support.
lion. Thos. Hardeman, Jr., President of
the Georgia State Agricultural Society,
has invited His Excellency Rutherford B.
llayes to lie present at the coming State
Fair at Atlanta on the 15th of October next.
Mr. llayes responds regretting the
fact that the session of Congress will re
quire his presence at the capital, and pre
vents him from accepting the kind invita
tion.
The President has refused to revoke the
call for the extra session of Congress in Oc
tober. It is asserted by Washington cor
respondents of several newspapapers that
the Department of Justice and the Su
preme Court both stand in need of imme
diate appropriations, and that more reasons
can now be given for the meeting in Oc
tober than when the proclamation was first
issued.
The United States Senate now stands
thirty-nine Republican Senators, thirty
three Democrats and three vacancies,
which will undoubtedly be filled by the
seating of Democrats. This will give the
Republicans but a narrow technical ma
jority of three, counting all the disaffected
Republican Senators as Republicans. It
is easy to see that the Democrats will soon
have control of the Senate, as the Republi
can Senators from South Carolina, Ala
bama, Arkansas and Florida will be suc
ceeded by Democrats,
Gainesville Eagle : Mr. J. M. Cole
writes us from Buford, 27th that on the
26th, a little daughter of Mr. J. R. Hen
drix, who resides in the southwest part of
Gwinnett, fell into a well sixty-five feet
deep. Mr. Hendrix was returning from
church, and was within about one one hun
dred yards of the house, and hearing the
screams of his wife, hurried forward. Be
ingwinformed that his child was in the well,
he uesccnded instantly. Reaching the wa
ter. he called ‘ Mollie,’ and to his heart's
great relief received the answer, ‘ Here I
am papa.’ Though the water was three
feet deep, and the child had been there
long enough to have been drowned, yet she
was miraculously saved, and restored to
the arms of its frantic mother, with only
slight bruises.
