I'enjM‘Otfnllr nimomife hie tiume ae camlitlutu lor the oilier of Tex Roceiver t the election to Ik) bold on tlie ttret Wednesday in January next. For Congress Eighth District. HON. A. H. STEPHENS. (Xvmincc Democratic Contention.) A GOOD TICKET TO RUNAWAY FROM. A paragraph recently appeared, in some one of our public journals, to the effect that Mr. Alexander 11. Stephens, of Geor gia, ex-Vice-President of the Southern Confederacy, had expressed himself in fa vor of Hendricks and Wade Hampton as the next Democratic candidates for Presi dent and Vice-President of the United States. We apprehend if such a ticket were placed in nomination, it would be regarded by many Democrats as a suitable ticket to run away from. The effect would he to furnish Mr. Evarts a most favorable oppor tunity to bring out the new plans, of which he has already hinted, for the treatment of the Southern States. On the suggestion being made to Mr. Stephens that his own name for Vice-Presi dent would mako the ticket stronger, he, with characteristic modesty, admitted that might be so. but said there were two ob jections to bis running, namely, he did not want the oflice and his health was 100 poor for him to perform its duties. We have no doubt the first of these objections could be easily overcome, and, as to his health, he will have ample time to recover before his election, even if his case requires a system of treatment running through all the years of Methuselah. The objections which lie mentioned were those in his own mind. The objections in the minds of oth er people oouhl not be so easily disposed of. A great donl is sai<l about the honesty and conscientiousness of the Confederates in fighting against the Government of the United .States. It is just because we be lieve they were sincere in that war that we distrust them for either of the two chief offices in the Government. Men who hon estly and conscientiously once fought to destroy the Union may just as honestly and conscientiously fight again to destroy the same Union. We cherish none but fraternal feelings toward our Southern brethren; but when incomes to making Presidents and Vice-Presidents we prefer making them out of stulf which was never honestly in rebellion against the Govern ment. The Democratic party is not exactly in possession of llio Kxecutive Department yet. and it is still of sumo consequence to consider whether it is bettor to nominate n ticket to run, or to run away from. The above tirade is from the New York Fun, and as the facts on which it is founded were first published in this journal, we propose making a few comments. The argument of the above article seems to be illogical and absurd, but we suppose the writer is driven to such extremities in order to find some opportunity to abuse the Southern people. If these Northern fanatics would keep within the bounds of reason and truth, tbo people of the South and of the “Lost Cause,” are Indifferent to any of their most bitter tirades ; but for the first time have we seen it urged that because people arc honest and true to de fend what they believe to be right, they are to be considered not trustworthy, Thaf is the very strongest reason why they de serve being trusted. The people of the South were honest in alt that they did. They were honest in asking the Federal Government to protect their Constitutional rights, they were honest in their opposi tion to the centralization of this Govern ment, they were honest in making the most gallant struggle for liberty the world ever witnessed. Their bitter enemies have been compelled to admit this. Put when the cause for which they fought proved a fail ure, the great heart of the Confederacy ceased to beat forever, the furled banner trailed in the dust, and the stern arbitri jnent of the sword decided the terrible contest. The people of the South, with the same honest purpose, accepted the re sult as a final settlement of the issues in volved. This being true, the writer of the above, admitting the Southern people we're honest in all that we have stated, wonder fully contends that on that account they should not bo trusted. Two remarks in reply to this : Those who aro overly suspi cious of other people are little to be trust ed themselves, and from the conclusion the writer of the above readies, lie evidently know* but little of the workings of an hon est man's heart, and it is time for him to cease prating about the honesty or dishon esty of the Southern people. THE TURBULENT FOURTH. In the Fourth Congressional District the Newnati Convention lias met, aeteJ and dispersed. The result shows that the Con vention was not composed of the right kind of material. They failed to prove themselves equal to the emergencies and the stern requirements of duty. After over seven hundred ballots the Convention dispaired of a nomination and broke up in a jumble. As at the Columbus Convention, a majority adhered to Hon. II R. Harris, while a very large minority favored any body to beat Harris. Wc do not know fully as yet the result of matters. It is altogether likely that the majority wing of the delegates will place in the field Hon. Henry R. Harris, and the minority Judge llugli-IltiMia'.irtn. I’ndor kurii a state of affairs, the race may be catered and won by a “ little darker horse ” than any of them Jiave ever bargained for. Things arc terribly muddled, but we trust it will work out well. Improper articles of food often cause the blood to become loaded with foul humors. Cleanse the blood with Dr. Hull's Blood Mixture and be healthy. EDITORIAL NOTES. The Green bickers and Democrats all one to Blaine of Maine, Prof. Win.

Massachusetts is getting spoony. It is prophesied that Hen Butler will he elect ed Governor, under the greenback dispen sation. Hen wants more money since sil ver plate has played. Some fiends in human shapo brutally murdered an old woman 80 years old and futally wounded her daughter, in Clayton County, on the A Bth inst. The details are horrible. The old lady had her skull smashed in with an ax nnd the daughter was badly cut in the head. After execu ting their hellish work they placed tiro in one of the beds to fire the house, but this was discovered in time to prevent. The perpetrators have as yet not been found, but sharp detectives are after them. h-r General Presentments of the Grand Jury. GEO It GIA—JIA li T CO UNTV. WE, the Grand Jury, selected, chosen and sworn for September Term of said County respectfully make the following presentments : Through appropriate committees, tve have examined the books and papers of the County officers, and find them accurately and neatly kept. The several other re ports of officers, viz : those of Ordinary, Clerk of Superior Court, Sheriff’ and School Commissioner required by law to he made have all been banded in and prop erly attested by the records and vouchers filed in their several offices. We were pleased to sec in a thorough examination of the Tax Receiver’s hook that property has been returned at much nearer its real value than it has in past years. The Clerk's, Sheriff's and Treasurer's books are all in good order, well kept and easily understood, and they deserve praise for the same, and wo think Hart County may bo justly proud of them. Upon examination of the finances of the County we find the liabilities of the County for County purposes supposed to bo SIOO. Liabilities for Jury fund, none. Assets “ “ $186.06. Liabilities for indigent poor fund sup posed to be $ 100. Assets, none. We have examined the Dockets of Jus tices and Notaries, and find them neatly and correctly kept except two or three, which have not (lie cost itemized and have not signed their names officially in several instances. One book was presented from 1114th district, said to be from William Gary, Notary Public. There was no name to show to whom it belonged. We think some man could be found in that district who would be competent to fill the ardu ous duties of Notary Public. There being a vacancy in 111 Jth district of Notary Public, we recommend F. 15. Cunningham for that oflicc. We find the Poorhousc well managed, and our worthy Ordinay and Mr. Thomas Sanders, the Manager, deserve the thanks of the County for their humane and econ omical management of the same, and re commend the Ordinary to employ Mr. Sanders for another year at ns reasonable price ns he can be procured. Wo recommend the Ordinary to pay two dollars a month to Manly Vickery’s family until next March Court, unless his wife should get well before that time. Wc recommend, in this connection, that the Ordinary pay Samuel C. Fisher, Esq., ■as Agent, the sum of eighteen dollars for the relief of J. D. MeLane's family. We, having found a vacancy in the Board of Education by the expiration of the term of M. M. Richardson, havo elected Mr. Patrick 11. Dowers to fill the vacancy. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. Wo find the Court House in good order. The Jail should have tin gutters put up to protect the foundation, as the eaves extend so little over the wall that wall and foundation are likely to be injured by getting wet and by freezes during the winter; also, that the top of foundation should be well plastered with cement and lime. The public roads in some districts have been well worked. A portion of road in the 1112th district, near 11. P. Skelton's house, has been straightened, and is about half a mile in lengthy is a great improve ment, and we reconinunii the Commissron- TI I K TIM I’X CX )( )K. >m DECIDEDLY THE FINEST COOKING STOVE EVER OF ERREI) TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.

JONES, Superintendent. ers have it worked. The road leading from Willis Stales' to Smith's I.aw Ground in 1114th district needs attention. Tho old style of ditches and dead horses across public roads is a relic of old time Georgia road-working. The road from Hartwell to Dooly's Ferry is worked out in the same antedelavian style. We recommend the authorities of Hartwell to have their streets worked out previous to March Court next, that Jurymen from the Country may not have their lives or limbs endan gered from falling in going to and from the Courthouse at night; also, that the brush arbor near the Courthouse be removed, as it is neither useful nor ornamental at this time. # We recommend that the Ordinary order a public road laid out on the nearest and best route from Hartwell to Bowersville, on E. A. L. It. It., and it is very impor tant that it should be done at once, that our farmers ami merchants may have the advantages of it for this crop. TV e would like to impress Road Com missioners that the roads need work through the year, and that a little dirt scratched in the roads just before Court will not be tolerated any longer, and all Commissioners should be reported and fined who do not attend to their duties. We beg leave to express our gratification at the able, dignified and impartial manner in which his Honor, Judge E. 11. Pottle has presided during the present term. We also return thanks to Solicitor General Reese for his gentlemanly and courteous bearing toward this body. We also recommend that presentments be published in Tjik Sex, published at the County site of this Count}’. SAMUEL 0. FISHER. Foreman. DavidS. P. Caldwell, W. K. T. Cleveland, John \V.
