for state Democratic Convention.
Atlanta, Ga., Jane 26,1872.
At a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the State, held this day, it
was resolved, that a Convention of the
Democratic party be held in the city
of Atlanta, on Wednesday, the 24th
day of July next, at 12 o’clock n., in
the Capitol building, in Atlanta, for
the purpose of nominating an Electo
ral Ticket, and a candidate for Gover
nor. Counties will be entitled to the
usual representation.
JuUAM HaBTRIDOE.
Chairman.
Carey Styles.— This distinguished
gentleman was in town last week. He
visited Fitch’s Springs and pronounoed
the “mineral” waters most excellent
and wholesome.
The Savannah News hoists at
ite masthead tho name of James M.
Smith, os its candidate for Governor
of Georgia, at the next election.
MuHon. Charles J. Jenkins declines
to be a candidate for Governor of Geor
gia at the November election.
Gkant and Greeley.— Now that the
matter is settled that Greeley and
Grant will lead the two contending
political armies to battle, we hope that
in Georgia wo Bhall have peace and
tolerance of opinion between what are
called the Greeloyitcs and anti-Gree
ley Democrats. We soe no occasion
for any display of undue temper and
feeling on this occasion. Os coarse
Democrats can’t vote for Grant, and
thero will be enough that will vote for
Greeley to carry the electoral vote of
the State for him. Mr. Greeley could
scarce expect any general enthusiasm
in his behalf. Georgia merely tolerates
him, but she don’t nor never will love
him. Wo hope that both wings of tho
Democratic party will harmonize and
fraternize like a band of brothers and
keep everything “snug up” in our
State elections. Let us beware of
JMttM£»cAndidateß for State, county
and Congressional offices. Lot us man
age tho home affairs wisely, prudently
nnd in a spirit of kindness and conces
sion. The Presidential business con
now pretty well take caro of itself in
Georgia.
A Lccky Venture. —Years ago when
Bob Toombs was a young lawyer, bo
was invited to go in with several other
parties in a speculation in wild West
ern lands. Ho put in $5,000 and got
100,000 acres of land, which is at tho
rate of five cents por acre. The war
ended, and Bob Toombs returned to
his ancestral acres in Wilkes to find
his large force of slaves sot free, and
himself an outlaw of tho governmont,
with shattered fortunes; with spirits
crushed and health impairod. Believ
ing himßelf personally unsafe, he went
to Europe, whore ho remained until he
could safely return to Georgia. Re
turning to die upon his native heath,
he expected confiscation and poverty.
But fortune smiled on him. The Wes
tern lands came into market, and his
income now from the proceeds of that
purchase is said to be about $25,000
per annum. Tho old Wilkes home
stead is still his own. He gets as
much law practice as he can attend to
at his own price. His health has much
improved; and under all these circum
stances, wo should say Uncle Bobuel
was decidedly comfortable, and we are
glad of it.
Fulton Superior Court. —After a
protracted session of many weeks, this
Court adjonrned on Thursday last un
til the 26th of August An immense
amount of business has been done and
a huge docket is yet to be disposed of.
Judge Hopkins sentence of O’Neal for
murder, was most solemn and impress
ive. He is to be hung August ICth,
unless his case is carried to the Su
preme Court, which is probable. A
vast amount of criminal business has
been done. Judge Hopkins in taking
leave of the Grand Jury, pays a hand
some compliment to the new Solicitor
General, Capt Tommy Glenn.
Beau Cheek. —We mado a hasty vis
it to this thriving little |own on Satur
day last The first thing that attract
ed oar attention after getting off the
cars, was our friend McMahon run
ning at* us with a half grown cotton
boll, whioh he bad just pulled from his
brag patch. Next we noticed that
quite a cumber of new buildings had
been erected daring the year, and that
several others wore being built. In
fact, everything looked lively, and tho
merchants and everybody else seemed
to be having a good time. They say
that in all probability Charlie Stark's
sewing machine man is in that neigh
borhood, Lowery-ing about, trying to
find Charlie's wife, to sell that machine.
uMRn rancm ahul
ica,” addreeaed a large audience at De-
Give’s Opart House in Atlanta on Fri
day night last From some cause the
tore, but we hear from one who heard
it that it waa one of tha strangest and
most wonderful affairs conceivable.—
The boose was peeked foil at fifty
cents per head. Mr Train spoke on
almost every conceivable subject; rela
ted a vast amount of bis own experi
ence; stated among other things that
be had crossed the Atlantic forty times,
and had traveled entirely round the
world. Had been put in prison and
mobbed in half a dozen countries. Had
made and spent money by millions,
and would certainly be the "next Pres
ident of America.” He pitched into
and tore in fragments Grant, Greeley
and the Democratic party, declaring
that the Train party was the only par
ty that will "do to tie to.” He fre
freqnently took the vote of the house on
the Presidential question, and always
carried the entiro audience for Train.
At the conclusion of his speech, he in
vited the audience to keep their seats
until he reached the door, when he
would give them all an opportunity to
disks the hand of the next President
of America. This wonderful man is
abont 46 or 60 years of age; in perfect
health; of spotless morals, and hand
some person. Some people believe
him to crazy; but all know him to be
one of the most remarkable of men.
For Governor.
Horn John H. James, mayor of At
lanta announces himself candidate for
Governor of Georgia, in tbo following
card. We don’t exactly understand
from the cord whether he proposes to
lay his claims before the Convention
or "go it alone:”
Atlanta, Ga., 29th Jane, 1872.
7b the People of Georgia: —
For months past, I have been solici
ted personally and by letters, from
friends in all portions of the State, to
submit ray name os a candidate for
Governor.
Now, that the Execntive Committee
bos called a Convention to meet in
this city, on tho 24th day of the com
ing month to nominate a candidate for
Governor, I deem it a fit opportunity
to answer those solicitations, audio an
nounce that lam a candidate for the
position. As n candidate, I do not
feel called upon to discuss the present
exciting issues, national politics.
What Georgia needs, is a good,
sound, and economical administration.
Stripped of much of her material
wealth by tho results of the war, and
subsequently robbed of much that
was left her, by the harpies that preyed
upon her in tho hour* of her distress
and helplessness, she now finds her
self burdened with an immense debt,
for the carrying of which her people
are previously taxed.
The people need relief, prompt, full
and adequate to their great necessities,
nnA it X W boßMtil with the
position, I may say that all my energies
will bo devoted to tho task of restoring
tho credit, prosperity and honor of the
noblo old Commonwealth.
If the people shall think and decide
that some other gentleman is better
entitled to the high honors of her
Chiof Magistrate, it will afford me a
sincoro pleasure to promptly bow to
tboir expressed wishes.

Beware of Swindlers I —The Savan
nah News has tbe following cautionary
remarks, whioh may be of much ser
vice, if heeded:
“We would caution tbe readers of
the News against an organized compa
ny of swindlers who have their head
quarters in New York, and have been
for several months past distributing
circulars all through tbe South, offer
ing to arrange mortgages, advance mo
ney, etc., on reasonable and satisfacto
ry terms. They profess to control a
very large capital, and pretend to re
spectability. The usual formula is
gone through with after some person
os been induced to correspond with
the liberal firm, in the hope of getting
a small loan, and he is invited to for
ward $lO as a fee “for registration,”
when the amount desired will be im
mediately sent. The money is mailed,
and that is the last ever hoard of it—
It is astonishing after the frequent ex
posures that have been made of simi
lar swindlers that are to be found in
this section, men are cteduloas enough
to entertain such propositions a mo
ment; yet we learn that several per
sons in this vicinity have been victim,
izod by these “heathen Chinese,” and
we make this mention in order that
our readers may be on their guard."
following appears as a lea
ding editorial in the Cleveland Herald:
“We wish to givo a very simple reme
dy for fever and ague, and wish to em
phasize it by saying that it, has to our
knowledge, proved very efficacious. It
is simply common salt A toaspoonful
deposited inside each stocking, next
to the foot, just as the ohill is coming
on. That’s all tbereisof it; but know
ing that it baa been very sffloaoious in
'breaking’ a chill and perfeotingacure,
we put it in oar editorial columns,
where no humbug remedy shall ever
find a place, if we know it."

Editors CknutiMim
. The long session of Congress hav
tives stands adjourned
mart be a matter worthy of a passing
notice, to briefly oatline in the formal
a charcoal sketch, the Representatives
of Georgia in the Congress of the V.
States
The senior Senator, Joshna Hill, of
Madison, Morgan oonnty, whose term
expires on the 4th of March, 1878, is
a grave and dignified gentleman, of
abont sixty summers. Although Mr.
Hill was elected os a Republican, yet
he seldom votes or acta With that par
ty, bat almost in every instance, espe
cially in the repression of harsh legis
lation toward the good true people, he
uniformly co-operated with the Demo
crats. At this writing it is due to Mr.
Hill to say .that we cannot call to mind
in any instance where he hascaßta
vote, since a Senator from Georgia, in
imical to Southern interests, even from
the stand-poiht of the most “unrecon
structed.” His character for probity
is withont blemish.
The junior Senator, Hon. Thomas
Morrow Norwood, of Savannah, Chat
ham county, is young, modest and at
tentive, and may yet develop resources
and powers consonant with the wishes
and expectations of bis most ardent
friends and admirers. He is an in
flexible Democrat, and a moat vigilant
sentry of the rights and interests of
Georgia. If he was more demonstra
tive and aggressive, ho might, in the
opinion of your correspondent, accom
plish more for Georgia.
Archibald Thompson Mclntyre, of
Thomasville, Thomas county, born in
Twiggs county, Ga., October 27,1822,
represents tho First District, compos
ed of twonty-niue counties only. It is
a conceded fact that no peoplo or con
stituency over had a representative
more watchful and attentive. Tho
files of the Globe will show that ho
has rarely been absent at roll call du
ring a continuous session of over five
months. “Old Mae,” as his brother
Democrats familiarly call him, is al
ways on hand—late and early. He is
recognized as a most worthy and ex
cellent member, and his only faults be
ing his conservative modesty andgood
nature. His digestion being good, it
is most difficult to make him angry. A
little more experience wiil doubtless
bring him to the proper temper.
Richard Happy Whiteley, of Bain
bridge, of the Second District, com
posed of twenty oounties, was born in
County Dover, Ireland, December 22,
1830; was a Major in the Confederate
Army, and elected to Congress as a
Republican. Although a Radical, Maj.
Whiteley, to his credit be it said, has
voted uniformly for amnesty, and
against all Ku-Klux bills. Has not
manifested nny disposition to contin
ue the robberies and tyrannies pver
the Southern people. He is nn excep
tion to the so-called representative
Radicals in Congress from the plun
dered Sontb.
John Summerliold Bigby, of New
nan, Coweta county, of the Third Dis
trict, bom February 13, 1832, was
elected to Congress as a Republican.
Judge Bigby is a very clover lawyer, a
man of good habits, nutl a radical of
the straightest sect. He votes, wo are
sorry to aajL lorqll tho outrageous leg
islation offered to oppress and enslave
the Southern people. His vote on al
most all political questions will bo
found recorded side by side with Ben.
Butler. How a native son of the South
can thus act and affiliate, is indeed a
political riddle. But in truth, it is
about as creditable to vote with Ben.
Butler as it would be to vote for Hor
ace Greeley. If Greeley bailed Mr.
Davis in 1867, Ben. Butler voted fifty
seven times for him at the Charleston
Convention in 1868. The diftorenco,
therefore, between Greeley and Butler
is about the same as thero is between .
tweedledom and tweedledee.
Thomas Jefferson Speer, of Barnes
ville, Upson conuty, of the 4th Dis
tricts, born in Monroe ooanty, Geor
gia, August 31,1872, was elected to
Congress as a republican, but in truth
has but little sympathy with that par
ty; and shows u disposition
to protect and defend tho people
of Georgia. He only votes with his
party of party drill. Tom Speer is no
enemy of Georgia, and all tho evil he
perpetrates is from the bad company
ne has gotten into. “Tho gentlemnu
from the 4th District” may yet reform,
rcant and become a good “loyal son”
of his down-troddeu, inaligned and
oppressed mother. We hope so, for
he has many manly traits.
General Dudloy Mclven Dußose, of
the Fifth District, is a native of Shel
by county, Tennessee; his paronts em
igrating from Wilkes connty, Georgia.
Gen. Dußose was borne October 28,
1834, and proved himself a worthy son
of the Sonth by his distinguished gal
lantry in tbo war for the rights, the
liberties and independence of tho
Southern people. He stood iu the
Confederate army as he stands on the
floor of the Honso of Representatives,
like Sanl in the camp of Israol, a head
and shoulders above any other peer.
Elected to Congress as a hardshell
Jeffersonian Democrat, over a large
Radical majority.
General Dußoso is universally pop
ular with liis fellow members of the
House, regardless of party or section.
A bettor Democrat “never fluttered,”
and a Representative more devoted
to the welfare and interests of his con
stituents Georgia never had.
William Patrick Price, of Dahlone
ga, Lumpkin county, of the Sixth or
tho old Howell Cobb District, was born
in Lumpkin, January 29, 1835. Mr.
Price was a gallant soldier iu the war
for Southern independence, and was
oleoted to Congress as a Representa
tive of tho “hard sheW’ Jackson Dem
ocracy of the hill and mountain coun
ties of Northeast Georgia. His ma-
Sover all competitors was over
ousond.
Mr. Price is a quiet unobtrusive
member, of excellent habits, and in all
respects makes a most excellent repre
sentative. He lias labored most ardu
ously bat aacoessfnlly for tbo restora
tion of mail facilities in his district;
has also succeeded in getting Congress
to donate the old mint building, at
Dahlonega, for an Agricultural Col
lege; has devoted muon time in per
fecting a plan by whioh Congrosa will
doubtless msko a sufficient appropria
tion for the construction of tuo Great
Western Osnal. lie bus labored also
to procure legislation by which claims
will be paid for carrying the mails and
taking ana census before the war, ate.;
the restoration of pensioners to the
rolls; and, at Upyinrtanee of Gover
ber of Commas is never more useful
to his constituent, on the State than
by giving eloee and constant attention
attention to flottnlfi and Button appa
rently of minor consideration. The
rights and Interests of the people of
the Sixth District are carefalfywatch
ed and well gnarded by their present
indefatigable Representative.
General Pierce Mason Bntler Yonng,
of Cartersville, Bartow county, of the
indomitable Seventh District, was
bom in Spartanbnrg District, South
Carolina, in 1888. Was at West
Point when he heard the slogan for
Southern independence, and like a
faithful and dutiful son, immediately
returned to his native South
that he might Strike her invaders and
despoilers, and preserve her from the
gripe of tyrants and plunderers. As
a Confederate officer, ever faithful and
true, till tho last banner was furled
under the heel of the oppressor, Gen
eral Young was the equal of his peers.
A better Democrat and truer son of
the South never sat in the halls of
Congress.
JEFFEBBON.
The Campaign.
A GENERAL HANDSHAKING in ILLINOIS.
Springfield, 111., June 27.— The
Democratic Convention has instructed
the delegates to Baltimore to vote as a
unit for Greeley and Brown. Tho
Consultation Committee from the Lib
eral Convention was received raptur
ously, and had seats on the platform.
The Liberal Convention had every
county in the State represented.
' The Joint Committee agreed upon
KoernerforGovemor, Charles Black for
Lieutenant-Governor, and a full State
ticket, composed as follows: Liberals
Governor, Secretary of State, and At
torney General; Democrats—Lieuten
ant-Governor, Auditor, Treasurer, and
Clerk of the Supreme Court.
The Liberal Convention then march
ed into tho Democratic Convention,
amid tho wildest enthusiasm, where
Palmer, President of the Liberal Con
vention, heartily indorsed the nomina
tions of the Joint Committee, and
joined hands with the Democrats in
their support
Gov. Allen, President of the Demo
cratic Convention, said he desired to
meet tho advances of tho chairman of
the Liberal Republican Convention,
in the spirit in which they were made,
and, like Paul forgetting the things
that are behind, striko hands with him
in tho common cause.
As the Chairman of the two Conven
tions advanced and clasped hands, an
other scene of wild excitement ensued
—tho delegates cheering frantically
for several minutes. Tho selection of
an electoral ticket was referred to the
Central Committees and tho Conven
tion adjourned.
MISSISSIPPI democratic convention.
Jackson, (Miss.) June27.—The Con
servative Democratic Convention is
largely attended Mauy of the best
men in the State aro present Judge
Watson, of Holly Springs, presided.—
The list of. Vice Presidents included
two colored men. Die resolutions in-
to'Baltimore to
vote as a unit for Greeley and Brown,
but pledged tho Convention to abide
tho decision at Baltimore.
From a Democrat to a Radical—
How to Turn Over.—Now is the op
portunity of tbe soft, sqnash-headed
Democratic politicians, who yearn for
the crumbs from tho table of tho party
in power, but havn’t moral courage to
make a straight-out somersault, to
make their jack. This is the way you
go about it. Hate Greeley. Denounce
him. You always detested the father
of Radicalism. Couldn’t swallow that
pill. Your digestive organß are too
strongly tinctured with the Simon-
Eure Democratic element, for it to bo
ealthy. Can’t b ear to vote for the
man who first agitated the waters that
engulfed the South in poverty and ru
in. No, never ! The fact is, that you
•will be darned if yon hadn’t rather
vote for Grant, the soldier to whom
Gen. Leo surrendered his sword. Os
tensibly in lien of the fact that the
Baltimore Convention will probably in
dorse Gre eleyi- and you think it will.
Thus you break tbe ice, and if Balti
more does not slide away in the groove
made by Cincinnati, you can go ahead
any way, having partly pledged to
Grant, with greater ease than before;
while if the Baltimore Convention does
indorse the white hatted philosopher,
you can fight it out ou that line by tu
ning your harp to “Hail to the chief,”
and joining tbe Philadelphia conclave
in tbe chorus of “old John Brown’s
soul is marching on.” It wouldn’t go
at all again the grain of a Southern
man —South Georgia Times.
Important to Pensioners. —The fol
lowing circular has been issued by the
Acting Commissioner of Pensions:
Persons who two already pensioned
nnder act of Juno 6,1866, at either of
the rates of fifteen, twenty, or twenty
five dollars, are entitled by an net pass
ed Juno 8,1872, to increased rates, and
may secure Ruch increase without for
mal application and without tho inter
vention of nn attorney; nor an y
attorneyship be recognized in such ca
ses. A letter from the pensioner pen
sioned as above, bis present pension
certificate, and giving his post office
address, will be sufficient claim for the
increaso. The certificate will receive
such indorsement by this office as will
authorize tho payment of increased
rate, and will then be forwarded to the
pension agency at which tho pension
is payable, and the pensioner will be
notified of such transmission.
