Last week we received a copy of the Fourth Trade Edition, issued from the office of the Augusta Chronicle & Con stitutionalist, and unhesitatingly pro nounce it the finest trade edition we ever saw. The proprietors of the Chronicle may well be proud of it. The typographical execution is simply per fect, the drawings are to life, and every fine is printed wonderfully clear. We shall preserve it as a specimen of fius work. On last Friday we received the first number of the Macon Daily Evening; Graphic, and cheerfully place it upon our exchange list. The Graphic is a six column paper, and is a modle of neatness, while every inch of its space is filled with interesting matter, and it sparkles with wit. We notice that he Telegraph & Messenger gracefully ex tends the courtesies journalistic to its new city contemporary. We wish you a long and successful career, brother Graphic. Hawkinsville News says: On last Thursday week Judge Pate pussed sentence on the six Eastman rioteis not recommended for life-time sentmee in the penitentiary to-wit: Ella Moore, alias Ella Blount, Bob Donal- son, Redick Powell, Joe King, Isaac Shipman and Simon O’Quinn. They are to be hanged privately in Eastman on the 20th of October. In the case of Nathan Smith, charged with rape, the jury returned a verdict of guilty, and he was sentenced by the court to be hanged at the same time and place as the prisoners named above. A motion, however, was made for a new trial in Nathan’s case and the sentence was suspended. The prisoner’s received the sentence without any apparent feel ing, and all denied their guilt. It will be remembered that twenty-two < f the rioters were convicted—sixteen to the penitentiary for life and six to be hung. A dispatch from Boston, dated Sept. 15th, says that despite statements to the contraiy, it has been ascertained beyond doubt that Governor Samuel J. Tildenisin a very serious condition.— He is now said to be a perfect physical and mental wreck. He is now at Greyston?, near Yonkers, where he w»s taken by his family against his wish. A few intimate friends occa sionally succeed in gaining an audience with him after much trouble. A late visitor says he found him bad off, and don’t think he will live long.— He says when he entered Mr. Tilden’s apartmont, be ex ended his hands in greeting, and that Mr. Tildcn held them during the whole half hour’s in terview, and did not releas* them un til he left. John Bigelow, in the New York Sun of yesterday, announced that Tilden never would again be a candi date for the Presidency. This is be-| lieved to have been made with the '■ knowledge of Tilden’s alarming physi cal condition. Bulloch was represented by T II. Pot ter. There were two contesting dele gations from Burke ; one of which was composed of J. J. J> nes, W. C. Palmer and E. L. Brinson The other was represented by Dr. E. A. Perkins, T. S. Blanchard, T. D. Oliver, C. T. Herrington and W. Warnock. After the temporary organization. Col. T. II Potter, of Bulloch, vrose and requested the gentlemen composing the two contesting delegations to stab- whether or not they would both be will ing to harmonize their differences upon the basis of the action of the Savannah Congressional Convention by admitting both delegations and allowing each of the contesting delegations three votes. Beth delegations agreed to this sugges tion and both pledged themselves to abide by the action of the convention and were admitted as delegates. Upon motion of Mr. J. R. Hum phries, Mr. T. S. Blanchard, of Burke, was made permanent chairman, and R. L. Singellton permanent secretary. Upon motion of Col. J. J. Jones. T. W. Oli ver, Jr., of Scriven, was nominated by acclamation, as the candidate of the Democratic party for Senator of the 17th Senatorial District. Upon motion, a committee consisting of R. L. Singlleton, T. D. Oliver and T. H. Potter, was appointed to inform T. 11 ON. SEABORNR VUSE'S 111'.PI. Y TO JUDO TUTOR'S. JUDGE TWIGGS PROPOSITION. The True Citizen, Advertising 1 r ?.tes liberal.
