•SENATORIAL.
In another column we publish
the proceedings of the Senatorial
convention. The Kkcobueu is dis
appointed in the result of that con
vention. - It had hoped to see har
mony anil good feeling—it had
hoped to see Sumter strike hands
with Schley and do that connty
full Justice—It had hoped that per
sonal prejudices and ambition
would he subordinated to the love
.or the Democratic party and the
advancement of public interests—
It had bop d that tta Interest* fcf
Americus would prove paramount
to the personal interests of indi-
vidnals—It bad hoped that the har
mony ol action Inaugurated at
Chicago, and followed by our own
state and congressional conven
tions, would lie rounded nut in this
last convention where the dlfTerenl
interests of conntles were involved.
In all these hopes it has been ills*
appointed. It secs sown the seeds
ol discord and disruption to the
party in this district, and jeulonsy
and ill-feeling among people whore
commercial and sorial interests
should bo one.
Wbllo the lttxnnnr.it is not sut-
isfletl with the result ol the con
vention, and wishes it could have
been otbaiwise, it osnnot afford to
follow the rale or ruin policy of
those who seek their own personal
aggrandizement at the expense of
I tarty and public interests—it can
not afford to encourngo Imlepend-
enttsm by furnishing it with reas
onable excuses for existence—it
cannotafford to endanger p arty suc
cess to gratify its personal desire
ftr revenge against those who dif
fer with it within the party—
It leaves these things for scheming
politicians who care only that they
shall secure and hold the ofllces
they seek without regard to tho
rights and interests of others—and
therefore it will support the nomi
nee of the party, at thu same lime
wishing that he could have been
the unanimous choice of Schley and
of the wholo district.
If the result of the convention
shall lie discord and disruption, it
will have been no lault of the Hr-
ronuKit, for it sounded the note of
warning and attempted to avert
inch a result, being actuated only
hy a desire to preserve party liar,
inony and advance the interests of
Americus. U bad no porsoual axe

The quaint old town of St. Au
gustine, Florida, proposes early in
September to appropriately cele.
hrate tho throe hundred and nine
teenth anniversary of its founda
tion. Many of the houses Qrst
erected there are still standing, and
many of the ancient landmarks yet
remain. The old Spanish fort it
quite a famous plane of resort. St.
Augustine is the oldest town in
the United States, and is sugges
tive in Its uniqueness and old-time
surroundings. From there I leSoto

by Kerahie to have Ihn-h given

Kemble was interested. Another
