Recommended to the support of the De mocracy of Georgia, by 220 out of 350 delegates to the State convention for re-election as Governor— Gen. ALFRED H. COLQUITT. —The population of New York City as shown by the census, is 1,203,S23. —Dan Rice has already retired from the religious field, and is fitting up a float ing circus for the Mississippi river and its tributaries. —The census taker at Wakefield, N. C., found a man 05 years of age, who is the Father of twenty-nine living children, twenty-six of whom are by one wife. —The Viking’s ship, lately discovered at Sandfiord, in Norway, has been taken to Christiania, and placed undercover in the University garden, near the old boat found at Tunoe some years ago. The damaged part is to be restored, aud the colors, which rapidly faded in the sun light, freshened up. —The willow which overshadows the first Bonaparte’s grave is the second plant ed since the interment of the Emperor, and is twenty-six years old. Willows at St. Helena rarely attain a greater longev ity than thirty yea:*, and shoots are care fully preserved for planting. The ex-Em- press Eugenie brought away some youDg shoots and a few violet and geranium plants from the tomb, some for presenta tion to Queen Victoria, and some for her self and her friends. Assaulted Again.—John H. Harris, the colored Democratic orator from Vir ginia, is having a rough time north ol the Potomac. Last week he was twice vio lently assaulted in Delaware by men of his own race who had no toleration for a -Colored man who talked Democracy. Thursday last Harris attended a picnic of a colored post at South Chester, Pa.; but as soon as his political antecedents became known he was knocked down and beaten and severely injured. The report of the assault in the Philadelphia Press express es the hope that “Harris will not again ap pear there^and thus antagonize his colored brethren.” The Flohida Orange Crop.—The increase in the orange crop of Florida within the past six years has been most remarkable. In 1874, says the Baltimore Sun, the orange plantations were very few, the larger ones not exceeding four. Now they are numerous on Indian river, Orange lake, on the Upper Ocklawalia Etui Crystal rivers, while the St. John’s liver is lined for two hundred miles with valuable groves. In 1874 the entire crop was represented by 2,000 half barrel cases. It has risen since then by the following gradations: In 1675 the crop was 10,000 half-barrel cases; 1870,15,000; 1877, 31,- 000; 1878,75,000; 1879,200,000. The su perior quality of the Florida oranges make them in greater demand than any of the imported oranges. Even those ofHavana are less sought for by reason of their being less pulpy and of the inferior flavor. Hancock’s Chances in Qhio.—A New York special to the Cincinnati En quirer says: Judge Hoadly, of Cincin nati, visited Gen. Hancock to-day, and also called at the national Democratic headquarters. There he said:. “J wish to be understood as saying emphatically that Gen. Hancock’s prospects in ’the Buckeye State are bright. I can promise a certain victory for the Democrats in the presidential election if they will do their duty intherordinary work of the cam paign.” “So you are of the opinion that Garfield Will lose his own State?” “Yes; his friends will have to do some very hard work if they succeed in turning the tide that has set in for Hancock every where. Hancock is very popular among all classes of men in our section of the country. The old soldiers are enthusias tic for him. The farmers and mechanics can find no fault with his record, and the politicians of both parties honor him as a man. When ! t was announced that the Democratic convention had nominated him for the presidency, a wave of enthu siasm rolled from Cincinnati to the re motest rural section,” Last Week’s Cotton Figures. THE CROP SITUATION. The New York Chronicle of last Satur day reports the cotton receipts of the sev en days, ending last Friday night, at 8,G91 bales, against 3,462 bales for the cor responding week of last year. Total from first of September, 1879, to last Friday night. 4,90S,575, against 4,443,563 for' the corresponding period of the previous cot ton .year-showing an increase, of 465,012 bales. The cotton exchange report for same dates is: Recipts, 4,814,612, against 4,430,692 last year. Showing an increase of 4S4.120 bales. The Chronicle's table of interior port receipts shows receipts of the week, 2,li?J, against 555 the same week of last year. Shipments 8,185, against 2,137 last year, Stocks, 35,473, against 11,477 last year. The Chronicle's visible supply table shows 1,455,063 bales of cotton In sight last Friday, against 1,179,442 at the same date last year—1,236,798 at same date in 187S, and 1,882,464 at same date iri 1877. These figures show an increase of 275,621 bales on the visible supply of last year—218,265 on the visi ble supply of 1878, and a decrease of 427,- 400on the visible supply of 1877, at the same dates. Cotton in the Liverpool market last Friday was quoted at 6 13- 16 for middling upland. One year ago, at that date, the quotation was 6 3-8. In 1878, at that date, the quotation was 6 9-16, aud in 1877,61-16. The Chronicle appends the following to its weekly table of receipts from plan tations: The above statement shows— 1. That the total receipts from the plan tations since Sept. 1, in 1879-80 were 4,936,747 bales; in 1S7S-79 were 4,451,- 742 hales; in 1877-7S were4,257,572bales. 2. That, although the receipts at the out ports the past week were S,C91 bales the actual movement from plantations was only 2,657 bales, the balance being drawn from stocks at the interior ports. Last year the receipts from the planta tions for the same week were 1,890 bales, and for 1878 they were 2,549 bales. The Chronicle's weather telegrams of Friday, from the cotton-growing region, report better weather than the week be fore, but diy and hot weather much needed. The caterpillars were not be lieved to have done serious damage np to last Friday. In Texas, Galveston reported showers on three days of the week, an average temperature of 80; 344 bales of new cot- con received to date; too wet and worms operating, but not to much damage. Prospect continues promising. jndianola reports 2.37 of rain in the week, average mercury 79; a severe storm on Friday, with a maximum velocity of 75 miles an hour and serious damage on coast and in terior. Corsicana had very little rain, crops magnificent. Dallas had very little rain, mercury from 65 to 93, complaints of boll worms, but believes that the crop will be the best gathered for thirty years. Brenham had showers on three dayss mercury from 68 to 92, average 81. Cater pillars are doing harm in the bottoms and black lands. As to Louisiana, in New Orleans, there were showers on five days of the week, and an average temperature of 81. In Shreveport the average was 7S; rainfall, 0.60. First bale received lastFriday. In Mississippi, at Columbus, rainfall, 2.51; temperature, 80. Mach injury from boll worms and caterpillars. In Arkansas, a clear week and a temperature of 77. No complaints. In Tennessee, at Memphis, rain on five days, but only 0.64 of fall. Weather too humid. Mach damage done on the bot toms by overgrowth and dropping. Up lands fine. At Nashville, rain on two days, and average mercury 77. In Alabama, at Mobile, 1.30 of rain on one day. Average mercury 79. Cater pillars increasing and much damage feared, but little done as yet. In Mont gomery, showers on four days, with 0.60 of fall. Too wet. Caterpillars doing considerable damage, aud rust develop ing badly. At Selma, crop accounts less favorable. Too much rain. Rust devel oping badly. Caterpillars everywhere. In Madison, Florida, rust, shedding and caterpillars reported. In Georgia, at Columbus,l.lOof rain on one day, mercury 70 to 87. Average, 76. Macon, 2.45 of rain ’during the week. Mercury 67 to 87, average 75. Too much rain for cotton, but crop accounts con tinue excellent. Savannah, rain on six days—fall 1.19. Average mercury 81. Augusta, rain on six days—rainfall 1.74. Crop promising. The Choice for Governor as Present ed to the People. A small committee, from a small minori ty, split into four factions, and when combined representing less than a third of the voters of Georgia, have had the bad taste, not to say temerity, of seeking to foist upon the people their candidate for governor, Hon. Thomas Norwood. Yet the same disgruntled politicians were out raged because two hundred and twenty, out of a total of 350 delegates to the late State convention, ventured not to nominate hut simply recommend Gov. Colquitt for ye-election. In their wrath they retired and did the identical thing, only in afar more objectiona ble form. Mr. Norwood cannot claim to he the representative of two-thirils, or cyen one- third of the minority of the late conven tion, by any formal vote or act of theirs. He is simply the nominee of a committee of nine who were clothed with power to act in the premises. It is not, and cannot be known, whether his nomination would have been acceptable, though the proba bilities are in his favor. Bat see the dif ference in the attitude of the two gentle men before the public. One is the enthu siastic and unquestionable choice of very nearly, if not quite, two-thirds of the largest convention of the counties ever held in the State. The other is put for ward by a committee of the minority on ly, which, upon tbs very last ballot of the convention, was divided among four can didates, having never deviated from their support but twice, when complimentary ballots were cast for Lester and Harde man respectively. The friends of Governor Colquitt claim to be Simon pure Democrats desirous of carrying out the will of the majority of the people. The friends of Mr. Norwood also claim to be Democrats, hut still were willing to take Col. Felton as their nomi nee, who is the embodiment of the Inde pendent opposition in Georgia. Whose record therefore is the best? The wholo embroglio is greatly to be deprecated,'and gladly would we hail any measure by which this breach among friends and compatriots could be healed. For our part, if the contest is to be con tinued, we shall sot fail to remember that this is a division upon the merits of men only, and that all should, and We tiust will, unite upon the broad national Demo cratic platform and in the support of Han cock and English. We have no harsh words of invective for those who differ with us in this State campaign or their nominee, who has been a life-long person al friend. There are no political principles involved. The Silver Controversy A?ain. A Berlin dispatch of the 16th inst., pdblished in the Telegraph of yester day, says it is expected that at the next session of the Reichstag the entire ques tion of currency will be reopened. In government circles it is .said Prince Bis marck favors the readoption of silver as a legal tender. The president of the Im perial hank has, in a remarkable treatise, exposed the mistakes made in abolishing the silver standard. Now, this follows immediately upon the action of the national convention of bankers in Saratoga on the 12tli, and sub sequently, wherein much evil was antici pated from the persistent attempts in the United States to reintroduce silver. It was declared that the United States would exclude herself from the curren cy circle of advanced commercial na tions, and find correspondence alone with India, China and Japan as practically exclusive silver standard countries. Thus, while such pronnneiamentos are made in the United States, the German govern ment, which should be a government of some intelligence, and has long tried the anti-silver policy and the single gold I standard, announces its consciousness of having made a grand mistake, and its purpose to retrace its steps. Bismarck favors the readoption of silver as a legal tender. Sorely, we can say with confi dence, that Bismarck usually knows what he is about. “The president of the Im perial hank has, in a remarkable treatise, exposed the mistakes made in abolishing the silver standard.” Well, surely the president of the Imperial bank of Berlin, should he presumed to understand pretty thoroughly all financial questions. Now, in view of these facts, while the product of gold continues largely in excess of that of silver, and a leading power of Europe proposes to return to the double standard, shall we demonetize that metal and so perpetuate the suicidal policy which has reduced its relative value about 12 per cent., while wc just so far diminish the value of one of our great products and cut down the volume of our specie basis cor respondingly ? Surely this will he un wise. The country should insist on the double standard; but not, in oar opinion, on pressing an undue amount of silver coinage. It should be ready to agree with the commercial powers, or any of them, upon a reasonable basis of comparative valuation; and as to the so much com plained of bulk of silver, why may it not lie in hank vaults in ingots, just as con- conveniently as double eagles ? The Minority Address, The minority address to the people of Georgia, printed yesterday, is a record of grievances, some of which, we have no doubt, have foundation. A statement of grievances from the other side might also possess some force. Bat it is a very un satisfactory and unprofitable issue pre sented to the people. The people sent these delegates to agree upon a nomi nee for governor, and they failed to do it. The next point for rational men to consider, is how shall the lapse be reme died? The people have already elected Colquitt to one term. A large majority of the late convention have declared that he has not abased or forfeited public con fidence; and his enemies, while they find fault with his administration, can hardly set np that he has been guilty of any crime or inalconduct which ought to work a forfeiture of the right to candi dacy. The question then presents itself to every candid man, “Is there such insur mountable objection to Governor Col quitt that, rather than submit to two more years of his administration, we will break up the great Democratic party of Georgia, and plunge into an interne cine war. This is the question that presents it self to all candid men, and we are per suaded that there is too much practical good sense and conservatism in the peo ple of Georgia to admit of a doubt about the answer. We are sorry that the minor ity feel themselves personally aggrieved, but the remedy they propose is too costly. There is nothing demanding such a sacri fice. The majority insisting that they would not take anybody but Colquitt, were iniault. The minority trying to rule out Colquitt at all hazards, wcie in fault. Neither showed the spirit which should actuate Democrats. But we are not go ing into a party civil war, because they sank below the demands of the occasion. We are going to take the position most approximate to union, and appeal to the people from it. Come up and harmonize, if not perfectly, at least as near as you can. To vote for Colquitt is to vote for harmony and victory. To vote for Nor wood is to vote for .discord and defeat. Senator Conkling.—A Washington special to the Cincinnati Commercial says: It is learned here on excellent authority that Senator Conkling will make three speeches in Indiana, ne w ill go there early next month and make his first speech at Richmond, the second at Indianapolis, and the third at some point not selected. His friends here say that this means busi ness, and that he will sail into the cam paign at so lively and spirited a rate as to pat to shame the Republicans who pre dicted that he was soured and would take no part. An effort is also being made to m him to make three or four speeches in Ohio, and probably with success. Population of St. Louis.—The official retnrns of the census enumerators show the total population of St. Louis to be 333,577, which is an increase of only 22,713 over the census of 1870. This is a surprising exhibit, and tells how effectu ally Chicago has pushed her rivalry with flie Queen City of the Mississippi and its tributaries. The Globe-Democrat is in the sulks, and says if the present census is right that, of 1870 was a “gigantic lie.” —In 1631 St. Faul’s Cathedral, London, was commenced, subject to the most ex traordinary profanation. It appears from documents lately printed illustrating its history, that “upon Sundays and all fes tival days the hoys and maydes and. chil dren of the two neighboring parishes after EDITORIAL GLIMPSES- The study of ancient history is edify ing, and a review of the past brings out some strange contrasts. The following is taken from a politico-religious paper of New York, of July 20,1878: “The President has suspended General Arthur and Mr. A. B. Cornell, and ap pointed Colonel Merritt collector, aud S. W. Burt naval officer of this port. The appointments are promotions, and are generally commended. The custom house was, by the rejection of the nomina tion of Mr. Roosevelt in the Senate, with drawn from the control of the President, and presented the "demoralized spectacle of the largest business under the govern ment being conducted on account of an irresponsible citizen. “The wish being father to the thought,” the Albany Advertiser joyfully exclaims: “There is no telling how the present gubernatorial wrangle will terminate. We believe, though, that it will result in the birth 'of another political party in Georgia.” Gen. Toombs admired and indorsed the minority, because they had honor, integrity, and right sentiments, while the majority were manipulatedan.i controlled by the railroad syndicate.—Atlanta Pho nograph. . Alas! for the minority, they have nom inated a man, who is the paid attorney of one of the grandest railroad monopo lies in the country, and who goes about to lobby legislatures and the United States Congress. TALMAGEsays: “Death never takes a bribe.” So the Indianapolis Sentinel sug gests, on the score of peace and harmony, that the Republicans change their ticket and make it “Death and Arthur.” Some of the “fragments” are going into ecstasy over Tom Norwood and his good looks. There is no doubting the question, Tom would make an elegant political corpse. Garfield’s recent trip to New York and Chantauqna cost, it is said, on close calculation, just $329. Gen. Banks, in 1873, branded Garfield as a perjurer; but will support him in 1880. The responsibility for the present state of affairs will he placed where it belongs, The majority would sacrifice nothing, while the minority was willing to sacri fice everything for the good ofthe State.— Atlanta Phonograph. Yes, so we observe, they were willing to sacrifice even poor Norwood. They led him forth as a lamb for the slaughter. The Atlanta Post throws off its mask, and comes squarely out for the inde pendents. Democrats need not be de ceived any longer. The division of the Democratic party is what the Independ ents have labored hard for during the past few years, and the Post has done its part in the consummation of this unfortu nate affair. Here is a specimen from its columns as evidence: When the people of Georgia make np their minds,the newspapers and politicians may as well submit gracefully and join the popular procession. When Stephens, Speer and Felton entered the last con gressional race they were bitterly opposed by every morning daily in the State, and assailed on every stump by the ablest champions of the organized Democracy. Yet Stephens, Speer and Felton whipped the fight in spite of the powerful opposi tion. They won because the people of their districts understood them, and were in thorough sympathy with them. The representative men of the Repub lican party, such as Orth, the notorious Venezuelajobber,was at the Fifth Aveime conference. So was Bullock, the equally notorious ex-carpet-bag governor oi Geor gia. And there were Belknap, War- mouth, Syplier, Pinchback, Robeson, Con over, Filley, Williams, of Landauiet ill- fame; Marshall Jewell, whom the Su preme Court rebuked for robbing a half- demented woman in Detroit of her Lands, and Dorsey, whose operations in the dis trict ring were too scandalous for belief. And then In room 30 was James A. Gar field of $329 aud $5,000 memory. Really it was a truly representative Republican gathering. The Ocmitlgee Farmers’ Club did not make their recent fair a financial success, although it was no fault of the officers and members, for they gave an excellent exhibition, and no men worked harder than the secretary and executive commit tee to make the occasion a success. The threatening weather kept the crowd away. We regret to chronicle the fact. The Census. A strong illustration ot sectionalism and party bigotry run mad may be found in the attacks upon the Southern census enumeration, as a deeply planned South ern Democratic fraud to cheat the North and the country into the concession of an undue representation from the South in Congress. The idea is perfectly wild and can have no possible foundation, ex cept in the spirit of hatred and exaspera tion against the Southern States, which it is the aim of the Republican prints to en courage. Such a scheme would he im practicable, if attempted, and.it is wholly improbable that the conception ever entered the mind of a single enumerator. But it is alarming that men should make such a charge, because it is itself the sug gestion of the most desperate sectionalism. The Radicals insist that they shall have exclusive party supervision of the Ameri can ballot. We may judge how they will do the work from the spirit and temper they display. Let every good man, inter ested in a fair, just and impartial govern ment, tremble at the thought that such men should wield in perpetuity the des tinies of this great nation. There are various explanations of the unexpected increase of population, indi cated by the partial returns which have been made. A reasonable one, made by some of the Republican papers, is that while there has undoubtedly been much actual increase in the South, it is exag gerated by the imperfection of the census returns of 1870. At that time, the enu merators were selected from such so- called Republican material a3 was found at hand, and this was often exceptiona lly had and made very unreliable returns. This is doubtless true, and tbe more cor rect figures of 1SS0, therefore, necessarily exaggerate the gain. Bat the spirit which fires up in umbrage at any exhibition of growth in the Southern States, and charges the return^ ot sworn officers un der it, though acting under Republican appointments and supervision, as fraudu lent and false, is ofie which should make all fair men shudder. Garfield, when in New York, was heard to say, “Will my troubles never end?” He was willing to barter" anything iu the future to the stal warts for present support, but they de manded something tangible now. They sought the overthrow of Sherman. “Bat!” exclaimed the excited Garfield, “what good wil^ New York do me, if I lose Ohio ?” The reply was, “What good will Ohio do yon, if you lose New York?” Last week J.

Tho heavy arraignment of: Governor Colquitt and the majority of the conven tion, by the address of the committee of the minority which nominated Senator Norwood, aud the unsatisfactory termina tion of the correspondence between the two contestants for gubernatorial honors, would seem to dash the last hope for reconciliation between the conflicting ele ments of the Democracy. No one can possibly regret this more than the writer. During the entire sessions of the conven- tion; both by his personal efforts and daily communications to this paper, he labored earnestly for Democratic harmony, even going so far as to counsel, in the last ex tremity, the voluntary withdrawal of Governor Colquitt, on the ground that he had been triumphantly ^‘vindicated,” not only by the people in their primaries, but in many successive ballotings by tbe con vention. Moreover, be criticised and deprecated tbe animus displayed alike by the Col quitt and anti-Colquitt delegates, and gave his voice unreservedly for peace and Democratic unity. It was with a pang of real sorrow thaJ. wo beheld the con vention ndjoum without a two-thirds nomination. But it could not he helped, and both sides were unquestionably to blame. Subsequently, we still hoped that the differences might- yet be healed by tho magnanimity of the minority in forbear ing to make a nomination in the teeth pf so outspoken a majority of tho people, and at the risk of disrupting the Demo cratic party. But when the committee ofthe minority put Governor Colquitt formally on the defence by the charge In their address of incompetency and comiption, and even likened his administration to that of Bullock’s, we felt they had broken down their bridges and burnt their ships, and that there was no neutral ground upon which both parties could meet and treat. We are not surprised, therefore, that the governor refuses to retire under such circumstances, aud prefers the arbitra meat of the ballot box, especially as in his case the people had already given their verdict. He was willing, however, to meet his antagonist in the opening meeting of the campaign and answer every charge that might be brought against him. This was refused on the ground that it was to be a ratification gathering and'not for dis cussion. In that meeting Senator Norwood de livered, it is said, an aggressive phillipic against his antagonist. We fear, there fore, the breach is too wide to be healed this side of the ballot box. After the re sult has been announced, however, and this personal conflict has been decided one way or the other by the people, we trust the two “elements” will come to gether and fusing once more into a har monious unit, work with increased ardor for the common standard bearer of the Democracy, Hancock and English. In the meanwhile, we shall give an earnest support to the people’s choice for governor, though sedulously abstaining from all acrimcny and bitterness in the discussion of such questions or events as may de serve notice during the progress of the campaign, especially eschewing personal defamation. It should never he forgotten that this is a family quarrel, and “blood is thicker than water.” Em#ry College. This noble old institution still moves on in its glorious work of contributing its quota of cultivated young men to society, and to the various professions and voca tions of life. It has a splendid record, and is doing more now than ever before for the elevation of the race aud the good of the world. We have received a catalogue for the past year, and it exhibits gratifying prosper ity. Dr. Haygood, with an able corps of teachers, is fully prepared to furnish the very highest and best facilities for a thor ough education. The next term opens on the first Wednesday in October. To show the liberality of this hard-worked faculty, we copy the following from the catalogue, on free sclioolships: The sons of itinerent preachers are not charged tuition in the college classes. The board of trustees, in July 1874, in order to extend the benefactions of the institution, granted “two free scholar ships in the college classes, to each pre siding elder’s district in the’three patron izing conferences.” The scholarships are not to be confounded with the free tuition ? iven to the sons of itinerent preachers. 'hey are given tothe sons of laymen and local preachers. Appointments to these scholarships is made by a committee of three judicious men, appointed by the presiding elder. It is not contemplated that persons will be appointed who have either bad moral character, or ample means to pay their way. The contributions annually made by Emory College to the worthy poor among our young men, should commend the institution to patriots as well as Chris tians. The college deserves to be re membered, in substantial contributions to its endowment, by good people who ap preciate the blessings of sanctified learn ing. Our friends ofthe minority talk a great deal about “conscientious convictions,” just as if they were new-born and hereto fore unknown to the world. The majori ty had as many “conscientious convic tions,” and even a few more, as their number was greater and tiiey were enti tled to as much consideration from the minority as they claim they should re ceive at the hands of .the majority. A man might be just as conscientiously con vinced that it was his duty to vote for Colquitt as the minority were to vote against him, and his convictions are enti tled to just as much respect. If it were only a conscientious difference between the parties, the breach vtould soon be healed, not by violating conscience, but by bringing conscience into harmony with the truth and with the facts. “Alas! for the rarity of human charity.” NO STEPS BACKWARD. The Two Candidates Exchange juei to in, but' Fail to Come to Any Agree meat In the Premises. THE CORRESPONDENCE. Atlanta, Ga., August 16,1880. Governor A. II.’Colquitt, Atlanta, Ga.— Dear Sir: Impelled by an earnest de sire to see the Democratic party in Geor gia again united in feeling and action, I, the candidate for governor, at the request of the minority of the late convention and of numerous other citizens of the State, approach you, the candidate on the recom mendation of the majority of the conven tion, to see if we cannot by our joint act, effect that result. I propose that you and I unite in a re quest to the State Democratic executive committee to issue a call to the Democrats to meet again in convention to nominate a candidate- for governor. Should you unite with me In this last effort to pre serve the party, and to prevent much ac rimony and unchristian feeling, which will, no doubt, grow out of this contest, I will promise, without asking that or any other condition of yon, that my name shall not go before the convention. I be" to assure you, in conclusion, that I acted in the convention, and am acting now, without any unkind feeling to you per sonally. My opposition is and was based on your administration. My candidacy is not of my seeking, but, with my views, it will be my unpleasant duty to make the race, unless you will unite with me to do something to avert the evils to our State aud party which such a division in our ranks will inevitably produce. 1 I hope you will give me a reply by one o’clock p. m., to-day, for should your an swer he responsive to my desire expressed above, I can leave for home at two o’clock p. m., and no preparations need then bo made at representative hall for the meet ing to-night. I remain, very truly yours, T. M. Norwood. GOVERNOR COLQUITT’S RESPONSE. Atlanta, Ga., August 16.1880.—Hon. Thos. M. Norwood, Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sir : Your letter of this date i3 before me, and I hasten to reply, iu accordance with the request contained therein. Uniting with you in deploring the existing state of afiairs, and reciprocating the kind person al sentiments you are pleased to express, I must beg your attention to a somewhat detailed reply to the suggestions your let ter contains. In the first place, I remark that I can not view the matter before us from the stand-point assumed by you. You allude to it as if it were purely a personal issue! that coaid be adjusted by the dispositions of two private gentlemen. Admitting ycur right to consider yourself a candidate, representing no party or principle, and acting purely on your own motion, I can not forget that 1 represent the will of the majority of the Democratic party of Geor gia, expressed deliberately through the primaries, and that in my candidacy is involved the sacred principle that, in all repesentative governments, the will of the majority must be respected. It would be clearly out of my power, therefore, to regard the issue before us as if it were mainly a matter between two private citi zens, and involves nothing more nor less than their personal convenience or incli nation. "Were this different, however—if I felt there was no general principle involved— I fail to see the propriety oi the justice of your suggestion. The canvass has al ready been made before the people, and the people have spoken. As the canvass was unprecedented in its bitterness and thoroughness, so was the verdict unpre cedented in emphasis and distinctness. No objection has ever been made to the fairness of this verdict, and no disparage ment can effect its positiveness. It is im possible to hope that any subsequent ver dict could be expressed more clearly or made more overwhelming. If I were to receive the unanimous vote, the verdict would not be stronger, ar.d I cannot see how the gentlemen you represent could harmonize them, as they say in the pub lished address: “We accepted the defi ant declaration and inflexibly resolved to a man,that we would never submit to his (my)nomination.” I see nothing left but for the people to confirm or disapprove their opinion, already expressed, at the ballot-box in October. I cannot but regret that you did not seek earlier the harmony you invoke now. With your formal indictment of myself and my administration already in print, I should be wanting in self-respect if I plead guilty to that indictment by acqui escing in your suggestion. What does thatjndictment affirm ? To be special, I quote one sentence from tho address which you, presumably, endorse. The sentence reads: “The incompetency of the administration does not admit of a doubt. The division of opinion is not on the incompetency of the present adminis tration, but relates to still graver matters, and when criticism on the administration made by a large portion ofthe Democrat ic party, is as severe as was made on Bul lock’s administration, it is time for the Democracy to move for reform and puri fication.” No, sir, you have made the indictment and affirm the truth of its charges. I de ny that they are true. This,” it strikes me, is not the stage of the proceedings for you to invoke harmony by a withdrawal from the canvass. Rather so, let us both go before the people of Georgia and ap peal to them, you presenting your claims to their support and preference—I for a confirmation of the will of the people al ready expressed. You will pardon me for the suggestion. You allude in your letter to a meeting to be held in the representative hall to-night, whiclpl understand is to he the formal opening of the campaign. I respectfully ask you to allow me a division ot time at said meeting, and to join me in a discus sion of the issues involved. If this he ac ceptable, please notify me by 4 o’clock this afternoon. If it is is not convenient for you to accord the division suggested to night, this invitation is open for our consideration, as to future meetings. I take pleasure in assuring you that I shall always be glad to divide time with you at any meetings appointed by myTriends. I am sure that such a discussion as I pro pose will be fair and courteous, and must result in the enlightenment of the people as to the real issues involved in this cam paign. I am, with great respect, your obedient servant, Alfred H. Colquitl. MR. NORWOOD WRITES BACK. Atlanta,Ga., August 16, lSSO.-Goo- emor A. H. Colquitt—Dear Sib: Your reply to my note of to-day is received. Without stopping to notice your reasons for declining my olfer to request the State executive committee to call another con vention, I proceed to the latter part of your letter, which requires immediate at tention. You request me to divide the time with you to-night in the ratification meeting of my friends, to bo held in representative ball. So fqr as my memory goes, it is the first time an opposing candidate ever made the request seriously to go into a ratification meeting to divide time with the speakers of the other party. Still, I have expressed my willingness to change the meeting into one of discussion,'and to accept your offer; but as other gentlemen have been invited to speak beside myself, the committee who arranged for this rati fication meeting decline to convert it into meeting for discussion. I bee to say, however, that I accept your invitation to meet you in joint debate at any time and place after this week—I say after this week, because I must go home before entering on the campaign^ I remain your obedient servant, T. M. Norwood. P. S.—Your reply was not received at 3 j. m. and I could not reply by 4 p. m., as you requested, because I had no right as an invited speaker to accede to your invi tation, and I bad to look up the committee and submit the matter to them. It is now just 4 p. m. Qbeerfulness is natural to the healthy; despoudency and gloom to the unhealthy or dyspeptic. Now is your chance to be made happy. Go to L. W. Hunt’s aud get a bottle of Dyspeptic Drops, and be cured. Ex-Gov. Herschel V. Johnson. The public were wholly unprepared for the sudden taking off of Gov. Johnson, though it was known that he had recently been very ill. ■ He was pre-eminently one of the greatest men and profoundest Statesmen that Georgia has ever produced. Noiujvcre his moral worth and incorrupti ble integrity inferior te his mental pow ers. In the chair of State, on the ju dicial bench and in the halls of Congress, he shone alike, and when in the Senate of the United ^States dared cross swords in argument with Clay,Webster,Calhoun, or any other of the mighty intellects of the country, and always held his own. In the death of this distinguished citizen Geoigia has lost one o»her noblest sons. “A prince in Israel ha3 fallen.” The following succinct sketch of Judge Johnson is from the pen of Hon. Alexan der H. Stephens, and was a contribution to Jonson’s Cyclopaedia: . Herschel V. Johnson was born in Burke county, Georgia, September 18, 1812; graduated at the State University in 1834; adopted the profession of law, and in 1840 entered tbe political arena as the advocate of- the principles of Jeffersonian Democracy; was a presidential elector on the State Democratic ticket in 1844, and was appointed in 1848 to fill a vacancy in the United States Senate; was elected to the bench in his judicial circuit in 1849; in 1853 was elected governor ofthe State, and re-elected to the same office in 1S55. In 1860 he was run for Vice President of the United States, on the ticket which was headed by Stephen a Douglas for the presidency; he was in the State secession convention of 1861, and,took an active and prominent part againsttlie policy adopted by that body; he voted against the ordi nance of secession, but afterwards when it was passed by a majority of the conven tion, he resolved to go with his State and sustain her in the course she had, in her sovereign character, adopted. Brought up in the State rights school in politics, he believed his ultimate allegiance was due to his State. In 1S63 he was elected to the Confederate States Senate, where he took and held a high position until the close of the war. He was president of the constitutional convention of the State in 1865. After the removal of the disabilities im posed by tbe fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, he was again, in 1873, placed on the circuit bench for a term of eight years. In the mean time (that is from the close of the war to the removal of the disabilities referred to) he had resumed the practice of law, which he prosecuted with great success. In Jan uary, 1866, on the restoration of the State to the Union, under the proclamation of President Johnson, he was chosen as one of the two United States Senators to which Georgia was entitled uuderthe con stitution. The duties of this office, how ever, he was not permitted to enter upon; his seat was denied him by the reconstruc tion acts of Congress. As an orator, con stitutional lawyer and jurist, Mr. John son has few superiors in the United States. Interesting Letter from Colonel Herbert Fielder. Cuthbert, Ga., August 14,18S0. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I write in hope that the action of the com mittee of eleven, who represent the mi nority of the late convention, may delay any decisive action looking to the separa tion of the Democratic party of this State, by presenting a second candidate for gov ernor, until they shall mix with and learn the wishes and temper of the people of the State, who were conscientiously op posed to tliercuominationof Gov. Colquitt aud preferred other aspirants. Without printing the reasons, satisfactoiy then and now, which for the last two or three years caused me, as a private citizen, to desire a change of executive, I was de cisively of the class above mentioned up to the time the balloting ceased, and would be again if the matter were open and before a convention of the party—a thing now morally impossible. The pub lic misfortune is a thing foolishly fallen into and deeply to be regretted, but to be recovered from in the quickest and easiest method that common sense can devise in the emergency. A retrospect of a few months only will reveal the cause of the public malady—a condition absolutely necessary to be understood in order to be gin wisely to apply the remedy. Bad passions, springing out of aspira tion aud opposition, nurtured rather than checked aud restrained by good men, have done the work which good temper, charity, forgiveness and kindness of heart alone can undo or cure. The antagonism was strong enough be fore the hosts met face to face in the con vention to discuss the causes, and by ill- timed and unwise speeches to intensify it and to widen the breach. Bat the dele gates made more rapid progress than the people in the process of destruction. Aud it will be found that, much as the situa tion is deplored by the people represented by the minority, they are not generally prepared in mind for the proposed move ment that looks to a separation. The opposing hosts having united in the electoral college, all enthusiastically supporting Hancock and English,aud on all the officers elective by the whole people, except the governor alone; and the opposi tion to Colquitt not being to his soundness and fidelity as a Democrat; and based on grounds not irreconcilable with his past and future fidelity to the party, there does not seem to be such a presentation of tan gible aud permanent issues as are needed to support the movement—not timbers of suitable quantity and quality to build a new party, or frame two self-sustaining wings to the one we have. Especially is this true when the present incumbent, according to the usages of the party, is indicated as the choice of the majority. It is to be hoped that wise and moderate counsels will cause the movers of the minority to reconsider and unite the party again. Truly, your obedient servant, Herbert Fielder.

Temperance is attracting much atten tion, showing itself in local option laws, societies, crusades and restrictions upon liquor production; but with all these ef forts, the consumption is enormous, and; undoubtedly, the reason is, because there is nothing strenuously advocated to relieve and destroy the eras ing for stimulants. But, if the disease was treated rationally, by arousing the torpid Liver with Sim mons’ Liver Regulator, the dispirited drunkard would find his cravings soon dissipated, and with cleared head and ac tive Liver, lie would not want liquor. auglS-lw _ Protect Your Little One* from Cholera Infantum, and yourself and family from sudden attacks of Colic, Dys- sentary,.
