[Cheers.] Never again would he refer to what had trans pired in the past, either here or in the State of New York. He disowned ever having been actuated by personal feelings. New York could not be carried except by unity in the Democratic party; and now that this Lad been secured, he felt it safe to promise that New York would give her electoral vote to the ticket made here.

[Applause.] Fellows, of New York, came forward in response to the call. He commented on to-day’s action as superb; they had healed all bitterness existing heretofore in the Democratic party, and they were now united to fight one common foe. [Applause.] But they had done still more in strangling the discordant quarrels which had for years scandalized the whole country. They bad restored us all to a common country.

Although these amounts appear large, yet they arc insignificant yvhen compared with the principle lvhich has been settled, I iy which thousands of dollars will annual- y flow into the treasury from these cor porations, Avhich have hitherto escaped the common burdens of taxation. Attorney General Ely.—Weekly Democrat: Major R. N. Ely, the present efficient attorney general of the State, seems to be meeting Avitli a general in dorsement by the people as a candidate t or re-election. Of the candidates at •resent spoken of for the place, avo say without hesitancy that Major Ely is our preference. From all that we can gather he has made a most excellent officer. Au article that we copy from the Atlanta Constitu tion elsewhere will give an idea of the immense sums of money that have gone into the treasury through the vigilance of this officer. As a lawyer Major Ely,, we believe, ranks with the highest, and we understand that he was recently very highly compli mented by the judges of the United States Supreme Court for the masterly manne in which he recently conducted a case for the State before that august body. S . Haetavei.l Sun: Hon. Robert N. Ely, attorney general of the State, will be a candidate before the State convention for re-nomination to that officeThrough all the investigations that developed so much corruption at Atlanta daring the last leg islature Mr. Ely came out unscathed. This fact strongly commends him to the people for re-election. He has prtwen himself a diligent and faithful officer, and is one of the cleverest gentlemen to be found in the Gate City. ■ Monroe Advertiser: Major R. N. Ely, whose name is at the head of this article, is a candidate for re-election for the hon orable position of attorney general. Ma jor Ely lias been an industrious, faithful officer, and lias saved to the State of Geor gia tens of thousands of dollars, in prose cuting claims which the State had against corporations anil individually/ In these suits he lias been extraordinarily success ful; while we ivould not detract one iotai from the claims of others, Avko are aspir ing to tliis position, yet Ave think it is not a bad idea to retain the man av1k> has proven so efficient as to gain the confi dence of all. Major Ely has been in office just long enough to understand the work ing of the position and therefore conld render the State efficient service on ac count of his experience. Elberton Gazette: Major R. N. Ely, the efficient atorney general of the State, is a candidate for re-election. The man ner in Avhich he lias discharged the ardu ous duties of his office reflect great credit upon that gentleman, au;l his re-election is generally conceded. Cuthbebt Appeal: As,, far as our knowledge extends, Col. Ely lias no oppo sition for his position, and Avill probably have none, as he makes a very acceptable officer. Robert N. E£y.—Thomasville Times: We publish on our outside some com ments on the manner iu which tiie above gentleman has discharged the duties of his office—that of attorney general of the State. The showing is flat teriug to Major Ely, showing him to be both vigilant and competent. ~ Madison Madisonian: General Ely, our efficient State attorney general, has won netv laurels in his defense of the State’s interest in tlia railroad cases before the Supreme Court. After his gallant, able and overwhelming argument before that tribunal recently iu the case of the State vs. the Southwestern railroad, no one can question his ability or fitness for the posi tion ho occupies. •Eacli paper in the State that has spoken of this faithful officer, does so m the most complimentary manner. Baptist Banner: The condensed glean ing Item tiie Atlanta Constitution, re garding Attorney General Ely, will be read witii interest. The prosperity of a State depends much upon the integrity and efficiency of its officers. The present attorney general has both these qualities in a praiseworthy degree. ■ GntFFiNDaily News: Attorney-Gen eral Ely has made the State a splendid officer, and will be a candidate for re-elec tion.- Whether he will have any opposi tion or not Ave cannot say. We IiaA*e heard, of no other candidate up to this W’riting, gnouLD re Chosen for a Second Term.—Cherokee Advance: Tins amount Of taxes will be very large \vken he com pletes his work—he is not yet “done with them.” The taxable property of the Slate has been increased several millions of dollars, and UjflB vastly reduced the burden of taxes oh poor people. This grand'result has been Avorked and accom plished by the zeal and untiring industry of Attorney-General Ely, to Whom the State owes a lasting debt of gratitude, and certainly entitles him to the office, no matter who is chosen governor for tiie next term. Governor Colquitt did honor! to himself when he appointed him to this office. We say let the public press bring, Ids'work before the people, and let the people insist on his being retained in of fice, provided he desires it and will again accept. Columbus Daily Times: His attorney-, general, Robert N.

At ten o’clock the Macon lodge, seven** ty-two strong, marched from their room, and passing down tlip line of Knights, re ceived the customary salute, after which they fell into line, and the command to march being given, the procession moved off. The Knights presented a fine ap pearance as they passed through the streets, sitting their horses witii all the grace and statelines i of the old time cav aliers. Their chapeaus, white feathers, regalia and spurs, set them off to the best advantage. Among those present we no ticed several Avlio, in, days gone by, cov ered their names with honor, when they bestrode tlieir steeds with drawn blades. In the rear of the Knights, drawn by a white horse, rode the prelate, Rev. S. S. Sweet, in flowing robes and mitre. The entire pageant was a beautiful one; the rich jewels of the order, and elegaut swords, adding much to the scene. > At the park the exercises were opened by music from the hand, after Avhich the Masons Avere called to their feet, Avhile the prelate offered a fervent prayer. Dr. J. Emmett Blackshear then arose and grace fully introduced the orator of the day, Nat. E. Harris, Esq. Mr. Harris’ address Avas one of the most touching and elo quent‘we have ever heard; chaste in lan guage, exquisite in metaphor, sparkling with originality and Avit, it fell from the speaker’s lips,' “a thing of beauty and a joy forever.” Any attempt to cut down or synopsize the speech, would do injustice to the speaker and the effort. IVe hope on the morrow to reproduce ii in full, regretting only that the living fire of eloquence that lingered around its birth, must necessarily be lost to the reader. Masons will find In it a vindication of the claims of. their dri der, and scholars, wisdom arid beauty. After the speech had ended, the audience was gracefully dismissed by Mr. Roland B. Hall, the benediction by the prelate having been pronounced. Those whose ! feet were ready to beat time to the music of the dance adjourned at once to the hall where Kessler’s band was stationed During the dancing we stole a glance at the preparations which had been made for dinner. In the centre of Floral Hall ta bles covered with red cloth had been ar ranged so as to form a cross* Flanking these Avere numerous otheii and all were laden to their utmost capacity Avfth all that could tempt the appetite. It is said that only one man ever de scribed correctly a gigantic dinner. He <iicd from the effort, and we don’t propose to attempt his task or tempt his fate. Sufficient to say, that more than three hundred plates Avere set, and -viands for double that number were prepared. When the bugle sounded, the hungry picnickers marched in and did fuQ justice to the feast. When all the invited guests had dined the Kuiglits carried out their charit able resolutions by throwing open the door and inviting the newsboys and Arabs to help themselves. The pen of Jenkins could not describe the scene; the little fellows ate and ate, until it seemed as though death from suffocation would ensue. When they had ended, they drifted slowly homeward, their corporosities giv ing them the appearance of fortunate ticks on a midday exclusion. * Dancing in the hall was resumed after dinner, and continued uutil a late hour. Thus ended one of the most successful aud satisfactory celebrations we have eA*er witnessed. Complete in all its arrange ments, it was carried out in a manner worthy of the high standing and charac ter of its projectors. Death of Sir. Pat Whalen. Mr. Pat Whalen, whose death in Sa vannah Avas mentioned in these columns a day or two since, Avas an old resident of Macon. For more than twenly-fh*e years ho was in the employ of the Central rail road as conductor and otherwise, and was at one time proprietor of the National Hotel in this city. ' The Savannah News saj*s: About half-past 12 o’clock yesterday morning, Mr. Patrick Whalen, an old and Avell known citizen, whilst in his store on Roberts street, near West Broad, attend ing to his usual ai’ocations, suddenly dropped dead to the floor. Tiie announce ment of his,sudden demise created consid erable sensation throughout the neighbor hood, aud crowds gathered at the store to learn the particulars, as he Avas very high ly esteemed. There Avas. general regret expressed iu the community also, as Mr. Whalen Avas well known, respected, and uniA*ersa1ly popular. An inquest ‘ Avas held on the body, and the jury rendered a verdict ol death from heart disease. 'Dr. T. B. Chisholm had attended him some lime .previously for the heart disease. Trie deceased ivas for many years in the employ of the Central railroad, and Avas known throughout the State, having been train hand, baggage master and conduc tor,'and subsequently Avas manager of the National Hotel at Macon. Of late years he had been conducting a store iu RolL ertsville. He Avas a native of Ireland, about fifty years of age, and Avas a very Worthy and industrious man. His fun eral . Avill take place from Iris late resi dence on Roberts street, at 8 o’clock this afternoon. tTW^iTW which public opinion , is heard, but the glass in which we see reflected -only the narrow brow and retreating forehead of ‘its little owrig^. i t V ... I!'. . Weliave npfc ^hesitated tfijppeak plainly in this matter, nor shall Ave as the occasion.demands. The action of Abner F. Gibson has been openly condemned in these columns and in the strongest lan guage we could find. -A full statement of all tlip’facts has heed, given the public. The city of Macou is charged.by the press with the blood of Mr, Wolihin. The people constitute the city, therefore the people are charged. Now, wherein are they guilty.in this matter? Inthe acquit tal of Gibson, it is said, and in the con tinuance of the present police force. Let. us examinie end settle this matter. Of the jury in the late Gibson trial, four only were citizens of Macon, or lived here; and yet the city is charged with the crime. Sodpm would have been saved had ten righteous men been found, but Macon, it seems, must be written down because, in a jury of twelve, four from a population of 20,000 Avere found to acquit a man charged with murder. What are the facts regarding the po lice? The knife thrust in the Wolihin case, was given the moment the police arrived on the scene of the difficul ty, and before they had received direc tions as to Avhoin they' should arrest. “They should Jiave arrested Gibson at once,” says one. They did. A man need not berin the grasp of a policeman to be under arrest. Their statement (the po lice) is, that they could only gather au idea of the aflray by a glance; that glance showed them Wolihin holding Gibson in one corner, and others keeping Thomton outside. Was it not natural for them to suppose that 'these two were the princi pals? And was it, under this view, nec essary to seize Gibson instanter, when he was penned in the corner by three men. The bloAv was given as Wolihin re leased him, and just as Wolihin and tjie policemen faced each other, one to order the arrest, the other to ask Avliom to arrest, and before a word Avas spoken—given the moment the po- licemanarrived. Still, it is urged, Gibson should have been arrested in the morning. Why ? There is no one charging him with disorderly conduct on' the street. He was disorderly in a ban-room, but that room was locked up, and no policeman had a right, officially, to enter unless called in, even Avere the doors open and they had knoAvn of the disorder. Public opinion wouid have sustained them, it is true, had they arrested Gibson the instant he showed signs of drinking; but the police must he governed by laAV, not public opin ion. Suppose the effort had been made and resistance had beep showed,the officers would have been not only guilty of assault, but responsible for any injury Inflicted. There was no moment, up to the time of Gibson’s entrance in the hotel, when he could have been legally arrested. Justice to the police, and a regard-for truth, demands this statement. There are attacks on tjie city of an other kind. The Evening -JVetes, of Au gusta, says: . . V -- . ’ No wonder the population of such cit ies as Macon has decreased from one cen sus to another. Who would knowingly cin-y his family and goods to become a citizen of such a place where life - is as in secure as on the borders of Mexico? Ma con must see to it that the laAA*s an? en forced, Or she might as well close doors. Dear Evening News, did you ev er witness the following scene: A little child stands ’n the street watching the flight of a balloon Avhich has escaped from his aAvkward grasp. Filled Avith gas his pet toy floats upward, rebounding when it touches an object. Too small to soar out of sight, too 1 light to rest on foundations, it Avill float until a collapse ensues, or it explodes in feeble grandeur, all uuheard. Dear . Evening Neux, we only twist a familiar metaphor, Avhen we say that Avhile your imagination is as boundless as space, your paragraph is as pointless as the globe. Nevertheless, it is the marksman who can hit the small object that is most skillful. Pardon us if we perforate your balloon. The census of Macon in 1S60 was 7,247; in 1S70,10,810, an increase of fifty per cent. The present census is not yet com plete, but a hasty glance shows that with in the corporate limits the increase in the last ten years has been equally as great. Tiie city is full; there are not six houses in its corporate limits for rent. The city proper will not hold 3,000 more people. What has been the result? The popula tion has swarmed over and grown out ward. Within a space equal to that cov ered by the city of Augusta, we can show here a larger population. We have built more houses in twelve years than, Augus ta has in twenty-five; and finer build ings. Nay, more than (Atlanta excepted) any city of equal population in the five surrounding States. The postal business of Macon is greater than that of any city (Atlanta excepted) in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama. The wholesale dry goods and shoe trade cf this city is larger than that of any city in the State. The civil and criminal law is enforced; that some guilty parties escape, it is true; hutrno more than elsewhere. We do not propose to close Macon’s doors until the mighty Augusta canal dries up, and leaves that city trying to stand without legs or backbone. —Fanny FindTAyas’ope. o£ the beauties of Baltimore."'She ’ married Eli Elias, a Avcaltliy yoifng merchant,' and the wed ding Avas ' a grei^pkcial event in that city.
