Ni.w Stats Executive Democratic
Committee —We publish elsewhere the
appointment by President Hartridge oi
tho Now Execativo Committee of the
Stilt . Tho Committee are generally
men of respectablo ability, though de
cidedly of the old llourb n cast. A
m Jonty of them can bo influenced
and controlled ou tho ol 1 Bourbon
lino of Toombs, Stephens & Cos., and
we regret that the best talent of that
wing of tho Democracy has not been
selected to ruu tho machine, inas
much as Bourbonisin lias been agreed
upon.
As usual, in the appointments for
this Distiict, Gridin has been ignored;
in fact, wo doubt if Mr. Hartridge
knows there is any such place, How
ever, in Col. Dud. Hammond ho found
a mail of talent and merit, and in Mr.
Hall a man of tuueh personal clever
ness. Tho Committee for tho Stato at
largo, nro mostly men of solid worth.
(Jen. Auderson at tho head of the list,
nml former Chairman, should hav.
been retained, a:: ho is a man of vastly
moro ability than llartride, us well u
of sounder common sense. Mr. Hog
its. u-g >od, sensible, solid man. Mr.
Cummings is brilliant and honest, and
everybody knows Cary Styles. If ev
erybody else is satisfied so are we.
Political Sensation.
Tho New York Herald, which is no
thing if not sensational, expresses itself
in f ivor of tho conquest and annexa
tion of Mexico. The editor considers
this the best measure to populuriz •
Grunt with all classes of people, and if
Grant fails to tako hold of it, ho pre
dicts tlmt tho opposition night bo able
to I >o.at Grant if they made this tun
loading measure of their policy. H&
thus forcibly adduces tho effects and
consequences of the conquest:
15y the annexation of Mexico wo
should give peace to that couutry.—
Tho Mexicans themselves would soon
learn to bless* the United States for
tho benefit conferred. The rich silver
quicksilver, copper, gold and other
mines would soon bo developed in an
extraordinary manner, and the bound
less agricultural and other resources
would bo brought out to enrich both
tho Mexicans and our own country. -
The different States would become so
many new Califoruiaa in wealth »nd
prosperity under the rule and enter
prise ■ f Americans. Railroads and the
lolegi iph would pouetrato every s c
tion, and tens of thousands of our peo
ple would go to the spleudid tropical
table-lands for health and pleasure.
Mt x.co would rise, like the Ibue iix,
from its ashes. The six or aeveu mil
lions of docile and industrious peons
would have a uuw motive for labor,
and the country would blossom as a
rose. The United States would have
a monopoly of the silver and quicksil
ver productions of the world, besides
a vast increase to the product of gold,
copper and other minerals. The Isth
mus of Tehuautep c would become
ours, besides a uumlter of valuable
ports, both in the Pacific and Gulf of
Mexico. In short, the imagination
would hardly realize all the advantages
to both Mexico and the United States
which annexation would bring. Thin
is the great question for the adminis
tration and the dominant Republican
party. It is the grandest opportunity
General Grant c >uld have. What says
the President? Will ho mako the an
nexation of Mexico the policy of his
administration ?
The Leoislatde. —For tlio past ten
days this body has been pushing mat
ters with commendable zeal, and have
transacted more business than during
the 30 days previous. If they keep on
this way to the end, and quit a . good
deal c-f their foolishness, wo may yet
consider it nut less a duty than a
pl< nsurc to pronounce an enlogium up
on l e body, taken collectively; though
no i' duoemcnt would allure us to do
the s.tfno thing individually.
Oa vmd ltAm.!’.—One of the most
be "ttiful residonem in fie irgia, worth
in nctunl c «t $3500, will be mfflml oft
noon, at |lh n chance. Now la the

Mr. Candler moved to reoouskler so
much of the proceedings of yesterday
ss relates to the passage of a resolution
providing for tho appointaaent of a
joint special committee to investigate
various matters connected with the
penitentiary and the farming oat of the
convicts, on the ground that its object
had been thoroughly accomplished by

incss before each body which ought
to be acted upon daring the present
session, and recommended that the ses
sion be extended until Wednesday, 13lh
inst.
Mr. Brown-opposed the adoption of
the report. He believes that there
wontd still remain a large amount of
business whenever the Legislature
might adjourn, and if any very impor
tant business shall not bo attended to,
it can be acted npon at the session in
January—further, that while it requires
a two-thirds vote to prolong the scs
si.iii, adjournment thereafter depends
merely upon a majority vote.
Mr. Wellborn offered a resolution
that tho session be extended uutil
Wednesday, 13th inst, molnsive, and
not longer, except by a two-thirds
vote.
Mr. Roeso favored the adoption of
the report, because not only expedien
cy but necessity, as well as daty to tho
people, demands action upon the ap
propriation bill, the tax bill, and the
perfecting of the public school system,
which could all be acted upon by the
time recommended in tho report for

Mr. Bryan thought that thare was I
by tom for five dare, andtbere migCt
of the acts done after tho forty days
had expired in the event that the reso
lution was not approv sd. Ho said that
the business now before the Legisla
ture could be completed in the regular
session in January.
Mr. Simmons of Gwinnett thought
that tho Governor has nothing to do
with the action of the Legislature in
continuing the session a few days by a
two-thirds vote -and that there is mnch
important boaiuees that oaunot be fin
ished by Saturday night, and if the
Legislature adjourn on Saturday, about
one-third of the work already done
would go for nothing. Mr. Wofford of
Bartow, offered a substitute, extending
the time nntil Saturday next He said
that the business could not be finished
until that time, and when the Legisla
ture meets in January, it would take
three weeks to got back to where the
business now is. Mr. W. D. Anderson
said that he wsntod some man who de
ires to prolong the session, to give
some good reasons why it should bo
done. Mr. Goodman said that there
are some important bills effecting his
constituents which, although introduc
ed, have not yet been finally disposed
of.
Speaker Smith said that his position
kept him from voting in many instan
ces, and that he had not taken part in
die debates of qaestions as interesting
to him, and that there are some impor
tant measures still pending which the
interest of the people demand should
be attended to. This Legislators has
not wasted its time, bnt had to meet
and pass ujkiu some of the gravest and
most important questions which have
ever come before any General Assem
bly iu this State. Tho interest of tho
people would boa great deal better
subserved by carrying through meas
ures which their interests demand than
by an Inopportune adjournment, and
the party, which is opposed to this ad
jourment, want to disgrace this body
by cutting short the time, and thus
causing imperfect legislation. This
speech was eloquent, and earnest, and
elicited applause.
On motion to adopt Mr. Wofford’s
übstitute the yeas and nays were call
ed, with tho following result: Yeas,
120; nays, 32.
