HS&eklH anh $9 IHe^jxsngs **f —Honest people ai*3 smugglers alike are down on custom house gouges, and that’s what’s the matter with Garfield. —Charles Francis Adams is one dOfc* wealthiest summer residents of AToaut Desert, Me., but his cottage is onodftlra plainest on tlie .island. Still,* the won der is that he should need toseekairy at mosphere cooler than the one created by bis own personality. They Won’!Touch Him.—Gen. Gar field can not expect tbe Irish to support him. On March 8,1807, a resolution was offered extending 'the sympathy of. the Uni ed States to the suffering people of Ireland. Fourteen members, iucluding Garfield, votofoagainst the resolution. The Union Soldiers.—Butler in his Boston speech-alluding to the Republican boasts that the South was whipped by Re publican soldiers, says: “I marched to the gulf with a New England division containing 6,000 men, and there could not have been found 500 inen.tolhat division who had -ever voted any other than the Democratic ticket.’' 1 —Mr. B.&yons, member of Parliament for Dublin, writes to the London Times: “In a petition which the Irish bankers lately did me the honor to ask me to pre sent to the House of Commons they state ’ that they hold about 31,000,009 sterling on deposit, equivalent to.about two and a halftimes the valuation of Deland, or, by a rough calculation, two years’ rental.” —Tlie Qneen of the Belgians is a fine whip, and wherever she goes her phaeton aud four beautiful ponies go witii her. Driving with her daughter .Stephanie, lately at Bruges, she was stopped in Brey- dcl street by .a policeman, as there is not room for two vehicles fo pass, and traffic is permitted only in one direction. The Queen smilingly suggested that no vehicle was in 6iglit, so mightn’t she go? But the man was inexorable and the Queen put back. —It is customary to mine coal so olosely as to leave pillars of insufficient size rand strength as to support the earth which is left on top. The people of the plains near Wilkesbarre, are greatly distressed by the caving in of the earth beneath them from this cause. The fall goes on piecemeal, with a succession of petty earthquakes. These wreck houses and bams, and pro- : duce general alarm among the residents, who cannot tell at what moment auy house may be tipped over aud demolished. —The Nashville American says a gen tleman just from a tour through tlie North says he was careful to keep both ears open, and it is Lis calm conclusion, from listening to Bepublicaus, that they have no confidence in their, canvass. They have, to begin with, no onfidence in Gar field; he excites no ent. usiasm, and they seem everywhere to lee 1 that they arc en gaged in a cause already hopeless. The Democrats, on the other hand, he finds ev erywhere just confident enough to work like beavers to accomplish what they feel sure of accomplishing with proper efforts. —“I feel so confident,” said an exultant Democrat the other evening, “that Han cock is going to be elected that I don’t worry myself about the results auy longer. Why, Uie other evening I was in a company of eight gentlemen, every one of them Republicans, who, when polled,, said they were going to vote for nancock.” “That’s no criterion,” said the Republican to whom the remarks were addressed. “Eight Republicans can’t make a President.” “May be so,” was tlie sharp reply; “but eight Republicans did make a President three years ago.” That Republican is still pondering. Ai.e the Hawaiian sugar, under the re ciprocity treaty with the Sandwich Islands, is gobbled up by the San Francisco mer chants. They receive the article in bags and mats. The Commercial Reporter says: Already the California refinery has closed large contracts with the island planters for the large sugar crop now be ing gathered, and this no doubt will be tlie case until tbe Hawaiian product is in creased beyond tbe wants of tbe Pacific slope; and when that period arrives, and that will be within five years, then, and not till then, will any considerable quan tity of the island sugar be sent arouud Cape Horn to tbe United Stales. —Tbe Rev. Moses Harris was the Moody of a colored camp meeting at Sher wood, Ohio, and his pretty yellow wife was his Sankey. In tbe midst of one of his fervid exhortations a tall, gaunt, black woman pressed her way through the crowd toward him. He staggered into the arms of tbe mulatto Mrs. Harris, and a moment Jater hurried with her beyond tbe euclose- ure. The advancing woman sixrated, “Stop dein yer niggers! Dar’s my hus- man fo' heaven. To’, Moses, come back yer!” An hour later the fugitive couple emerged from a thicket at a station five miles west of the camp, to which point they had walked through the woods and took a westward train. The Astob Library.—The World learns with pleasure, as welj as with sur prise, from a French journal tbatihe an nual’“subvention” of tbe Astor Library for tbe purchase of books amounts now to the handsome sum of £400,000, or $2,000- 000—“more than one-half of which is ap plied to the purchase of new books.” At this rate New York ought soon to have the largest library in tbe world. Bat the blunder, extravagaut as it is, sets one thinking how much might be done for a great city library where it is possible to make tbe rich men of a great city really believe that everybody pretends to believe as to the value of a thoroughly and intel ligently organized public library. There isuo library now in this country which is able to expend even tbe Interest on tlie sum mentioned by our French contempo rary in the purchase of new books. m A Fashionable Love Match.—The recent marriage of Miss Bessie Livingston, daughter of Marturin Livingston, of New York, to George Cavendish Bentinck, a young Englishman, son of the member of Parliament from Whitehaven, and cousin of the present Duke of Portland, is still talked of among the cottagers. It is not wise, generally, lor American girls to ac cept European husbands—even English men, but this union appears to have been wholly desirable. She is reputed to be a very sweet and interesting girl, of ample fortune, and he to be a modest, sensible, Too Knell Fats. Georgia appears to be going frantictsi tbe gubernatorial question; but it is rerfly one of comparatively little political im portance. The patronage left by the «new constitution to the governor is small, and his strictly official influence is of thesame dimensions. The result of all this fierce quarrel, beyond the common unisciiief it will do the Democratic party, will-amount to little or nothing practical. Via hope the whole Hl-begottea awl unlucky con troversy will be buried in thefsstivities and splendor of general Democratic triumph before frost. Meauwhile, let parties hold their pas sions and resentments -in reasonable check while the people settle the Col quitt and Norwood question their own way. Whichever is Governor, wo trust Georgia will be “great end safe.” It will not vary her course and fate a point in tlie compass. Perpliaps there may a trifle of redeem ing good grow out of this angry contro versy, according to the old-saw that “it is an ill wind that blows nobody any good.’ It may teach all Georgia Democrats the benefit of a little % more toleration. A fierce intolerance seems to characterize them now, but experience may teach us that it is better to cultivate a more ac commodating spirit. Parties arranged on the basis of not giving an inch either way are not well adapted to this world, and we never heard of but one world where they could exist and flourish, in harmony with its general effect and purpose. Therefore, it seems probable that the the Georgia Democracy has got to iearn by experience that everybody can’t have his own way in this part of creation. There must of necessity be a very free spirit of concession, or-otbenvise we shall never be able to make another Governor with tbe general consent of tbe people. What Republicans Will Do. Tlie Journal of Progress, whose ed itor Wright is a graduate of the Atlanta University, and one of the best informed and most influential colored men in the State, says: The Democratic party, so far as the gubernatorial question is concerned, is hopelessly and irreparably split. That this split'will influence the entire elec tions of this State, is hardly a question. Upon this issue depend the future .politi cal reputation and influence of all of the shrewdest Democratic politicians in the Slate. Unless there is hope of electing a ma jority in the next Legislature, the -con stitution of Georgia certainly precludes tbe faintest possibility of electing a Re- puolican governor. ' According to tbe constitution, a man must receive a ma llow They View th« Situation. A Buffalo me reheat, reluming from a business tour In the West, fell into the company of a post-office official, who had been on a mission, eud was returning to Washington with a young son of Mr. Hayes. The party became fcstimate and confidential, and the official, taking it for granted that the merchant wa3 all O. K. on tlie goose question, relieved himself cf a considerable amount df true inward ness on the Garfield and Hancock ques tion. The general purport of what he said was that da office-hold ing circles at Washington, the belief was steadily gaining ground that Hau- cock is goitu; to be -elected ; that dis couraging news had teen received from Indiana, while the hope of carrying New York had been virtually abandoned; that Mr. Garfield was not considered as strong in Ohio now as was Mr. (Kayes in 1870, and that, in fine, the prospect of electing the former was conceded, away inside, to be decidedly slim. The-expectation of Han cock’s success was *o strong the official further intimated, that nearly half the employes in this )(lhe .post-office) de partment Iiad declined to pay their party assessment*. A good dost more • to the came effect was poifred into our Buffalo friend’s ear,-and he parted company with his informant convinced that he bad been afforded & genuine glimpse of the true inwardneess of affairs in the enemy’s camp. It may be that the post-ofiioe man reflected in too somber a glass tbe views of liis class at Washington; if so, the new postmaster general should see to it that no more demoralized officials are sent oat on the road from his department. jority of ail the votes cast, in order to be governor of Georgia; and in case no one j receives a majority of all the votes cast, ■ incendiary utterances like these, the spec- A Monstrous Falsehood—The Moral Tlie Globe-Democrat is responsible for the following shameless attempt to revive the war feeling of tlie North^against their Southern brethren. It says: The canvass is merely a struggle be tween the rebellious State’s rights Democ racy and law-abiding, national Republi canism. The Democratic party is to-day struggling to advance the fortunes of the Confederacy as it was during the war. Every vote cast for the Democratic candi dates is a vote to plunge the eountry into conflicts, the issue of"which cannot- be foretold, but which cannot- fail to he dis astrous. The election of a Democratic President would hr shooting a political Niagara, the consequences ot whicli may be divined by tlie fierce elemental wrangle which awaits the plunge. Only let the Northern people become convinced of this, and they will deal Democracy a blow more staggering than that which they de livered it by the war. Is it at ai! wonderful that in the face of the gubernatorial election would be car ried” to tlie legislature; a majority of whom would decide who is to be gov ernor. Under these circumstances the only in telligent work for the Republican State convention, which will convene in Atlan ta, September 7th, is to decide which wing of the Democratic party it will sup port. It has long been our opinion that the best thing for the Republicans to do, is to put out our entire State ticket, with tbe exception of being beaded by one of tbe Democratic independents for governor. This, we feel, is the only plan to show the Republican strength in tbe State and to organize tbe Repuclicans for the No vember election. These utterances afford profitable food for reflection, to both the Norwood and Colquitt men of the State. We regret to notice so much acerbity in a contest which involves no principle and is so purely personal in its character. Why not simply express your preference for one or tlie other candidate at the ballot box, and then when the resnlt has been determined by the popular voice, ac quiesce in the verdict, whatever it may be, cheerfully, and once more close the ranks, lock shields, and prepare as one man for the onslaught upon the common enemy in November. From tbe first, we have sincerely depre cated this controversy as calculated only to stir up bad blood between those who ought to be brothers, and to endanger the future usefulness and unity of the Demo cratic party. There was really no neces sity for the antagonisms-which exist, and both the majority and minority of the convention, to a certain extent, are respon sible for tbe present unfortunate, but, wo trust,- temporary schism in tlie ranks of the Democracy. It is a happy circum stance, however, that this contrariety of opinion is confined to the choice for gov- The support of either nominee is purely a matter of taste, and the prudent and conservative friends of both candi dates should unite in tbe good work of allaying all excitement and bitterness in tlie canvass. This, at least, shall be the aim and purpose of the Teleobaph, though we are in full sympathy with the Colquitt movement. Why not pleasantly agree to disagree? The President s.nd Cabinet in Har ness for Garfield and Arthur. The President is off again on another journey that is to run over some six weeks. He has let down the civil service reform bars; tbe cabinet is on tbe stump; the heads of departments arc scattered hither and thither reporting daily to will ing organs how the party is prospering everywhere, from Maine to California; the clerks and tide-waiters have been al ready assessed the second time for funds to pay the expenses of the campaign; scores of useltss aud characterless party mendicants are on the pay-rolls of tlie government with no other duties than to travel around and manufacture campaign literature to meet every emer gency, and if there is anybody of promi nence attending to the public duties of tlie government, he is unknown to the country. Evarts is resting at watering places or wrestling with his law practice; Slierman lias recovered from his sulks suf ficient to “put himself at the disposal of the Republican national committee,” aud is now in Ohio; Secretaries Schurz and Thompson opened the campaign in Ohio, and thence crossed the Rocky Mountains to appear on the stump in California; Devens has tried his hand on Indiana; Postmaster General Key is saved from the necessity of exhibiting himself by his ju dicial commission ana his successor has not yet more than found the way to his office; General Raum, commissioner of internal revenue, is stumping Maine, and sending home daily reports putting up the party majority about a thousand. a day, and if there is one leading member of tlie Bqm(administration who Is not -daily exhibiting hi9 contempt for tlio p’ain and emphatic civil service rules pledged to tlie nation by the President, we cannot recall bis name. We tike the abovo from the Philadel phia Times, and it sbows that in tlie elev enth hoiir .of his administration, Mr. Hayes has utterly, abandoned tils pet idea of “civil reform,” and is now as rabid a manly well-bred follow, alao well provided i Radical as Don Cameron, or any of bis for financially.

How’otherwise .could she ever Iiave regained possession of her local gov ernments? What would be tlie condi tion of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mis sissippi, Alabama and our own Georgia, also, bad not tbe people risen in their might and cast out the carpet-baggers who had been foisted upon them by fetbral bayo nets, and, like vultures, preyed upon tbe vital^ of each of those commonwealths ? 1: slice, likewise, their concentrated ef forts to wrest the control of the general government from the hands of those who have wielded it for so many years as a mere party machine, for Radical aggran disement. It would be well for every Norwood and Colquitt man in Georgia to read and give heed to the above language of tbe Globe-Democrat during tbe present State canvass. There is tqo much that is personal and bitter on both sides, where kindness and toleration ought to obtain. Surely passion is not argument, and really the gubernatorial contest is merely tlie expression of an individual preference for one or the other of the two candidates. Vote for whom you plerse, but do not quarrel about it. The Washington Ratification.—' Washington City don’t vote, but they can “holler”witli right good will. The Republi cans having made their Garfield demon stration, which was numerous, imposing and noisy, the Democrats on Thursday night turned out en masse and beat it all to pieces. The only question was where so many came from. A torch light pro cession, over two miles long, was one of the spectacles and a very grand one. The Hancock men are wanning up amaz ingly.! Tiii Southeiin Medical College.— We caili attention to the advertisement of this uew and flourishing institution, which appeals in its proper place. At its first commencement in February, the degree of M. D. was conferred upon eight grad uates, and there are sixty-five students in attendance upon the first cias3 of 1879- 18S0. , The faculty is an able one, and among the trustees we find tbe names of Rev. A. J. Battle, L. L. D., Rev. D. E. Bntlcr, D. D.,and lion. A. H. Stephens. The col lege, at much expense, has provided a peculiar method of illustrating anatomy not fohnd in any other Southern school. Under, its able management, the sncces3 of the institution is an assured fact. General toombs speaks. he INDOBSES COLQUITT FOB THE MOST FABT. We learn from the Constitution that General Toombs was called upon for a speech after the Norwood serenade was over at tbe Kimball House, on Tuesday night. ’ In responding, the general said: - Colquitt did right to indorse the North eastern bonds; that he did right to com promise in the Grant case. The general said, also, that he didn’t know anything about the Alston fee, that it was not Ins business, and he cared nothing about it. The general said he did not participate in the charges which were being made against Colquitt. He said, however, that he intended to vote for Norwood because Colquitt bad used the public patronage for a private end in appointing Governor Brown av Senator, in order to get him to help to elect himgovernoiv The general also said that Colquitt had not reduced the taxes, but that the convention of ’77 hail done it by cutting down salaries. He said a raod many brilliant things, as was perfectly natural, and, to speak tlie unvar nished truth, there were times when the old fire of his eloquence burst forth. This is tantamount to an indorsement of the whole of Colquitt’s administration, save upon one point—the making of ex- Goverhor Brown Senator, vice Gordon, resigned. For that act alone General Toombs, will vote for Norwood. Our contemporary makes the following com- mari : It will be observed that this is alto gether outside the campaign made by" tlie fragmentary minority. Either Mr. Nor wood should be switched into tlie round house for revision and repair, or General Toombs should be prevented from running out of time on the same track. Let the campaigners hold -another consultation. The distinguished orator should be made to defer to” the necessities of the distin guished candidate. Tb* Augusta Discussion. Norwood and Colquitt on the Hustings—Rain Comes to tse Re lief-of the Minority Chasimon. In accordance with the published pro gramme,'the two candidates for governor encountered each other in debate at Au gusta, on Thursday night, and Governor Colquitt got the best of the argument. Hcu. Robert H. May, mayor of the city, presided, and introduced both gentle men. * We publish the speeches in full, as reported by the Chronicle and Constitu tionalist: Mr. Norwood said: Fellow-Citizens of Gisobgia—We are here to-niglit to discuss grave issues This conedurse means that there is great* uneasiness in the public mind. The Democratic party has been restive for months past. The people have been en quiring and anxioqs, and a schism in the party has resulted. We are here because of that schism, else there would be no canvass for governor by an otherwise uni ted Democracy. There is a cause. Some one is responsible for this division. My opinion is that this schism is due to our present governor. [Applause.} It lies at his door, [applause] and I will en deavor to demonstrate so to you. The debate is now limited to three hours, hence I will proceed at once, with no ex ordium, to the discussion of these sub jects. First, there came division; then disruption. Gov. Colquitt is responsible for the division. He went into office with 80,000 majority, a thing unheard of. Many of these triends are to-day arrayed in hostility against him. Is it because lie is persecuted for conscience or religion? [Cries of “no no.” He was as religious in 1&7G as now [laughter] and those op posed just as nngodly as now. [Laugh ter.} No, gentlemen, I say in all candor, he has raised a false issue. He knew lira Democratic party was divided upon issues in his adnpnstration, and that he must depend upon other resources than acts of his term of office. [Applause.] He tells his people he is persecuted, and calls his church to rally to his support. Of all of fenses against the church of Christ, whether committed by clcigytnen or lay men, the dragging of the sacred robes of tlie ehurcli into the mires of politics is the greatest. [Great applause.] Not for the church, but for personal aggrandizement is this done. I deplore this issue as much as any man in Georgia. It is with sorrow I hear this appeal to the chnrcli, and I call upon Gov. Colquitt to name the time, the place and the men who have ever perse cuted him for his religion. [Sensation.] If he has been, to that extent I defend him. But if not, he has raised a fatal issue for his own benefit, and he must suf fer the consequences. Gov. Colquitt went into office witii the plaudits of all Georgia, but within a year there was a division growing out of one of his official acts. THE exdorsemf.nt of the nobthwes- TEBN RAILROAD BONDS created the first schism. I Simply refer to the act, tlie facts and tlie manner the endorsement was made. It was peculiar ly unmethodical aud unbusiness-like, and it led to an official investigation and a State scandal. Senator Norwood then al- Indnd*to Governor Colquitt’s written reply to his'Atlanta speech. He quoted Gov ernor Colquitt’s reply that it was his im perative duty to sign these bonds. Now this matter was pending before Governor Colquitt for twelve months. Eminent legal authorities were against the endorse ment, and from January, 1877,to January, 1878, lie delayed,. halted and faltered, aud it wa3 only after a clerk told him he would he interested, that this endorse ment commenced and the scandal swept over the State. [Applause.] THE ALSTON FEE. Another act widened this breach. Governor Colquitt paid Col. Alston $15-, 000 for liis part of compensation in col lecting $198,000 for the State. Governor Colquitt paid twenty-five per cent., in full, the entire 815,000, aud at tlie time he was suing Alston and your townsman, Mr. Walsh, as surety on liis bond. The suit was for $8,000. My lriend, Mr. Walsh, asked the governor to retain enough of the fee to pay the security. But the governor paid the full fiiteen thou sand dollars, whereupon the Supreme Court decided that the surely was re leased, an'd the State lost thereby $8,000. The Supreme Court has fastened upon the governor in such a way that he can not dodge it, that lie did not do his duty in allowing the S15,'000 to pass away from his hands. CONDITION OF THE CONVICTS. Governor Colquitt was installed in Jan uary, 1877, and in November, 1878, the legislature raised a committee to examine the condition of the convicts. The convict system went into operation years before Governor Colquitt's administration, I know; but Governor Smith had no dis turbance about tliis in his administration. This report of tlie legislative committee shows that cruelties were perpetrated in Governor Colquitt’s administration which had not obtained had he exercised pru dence, caution and circumspection. Now, Governor Colquitt has been coquetting for the colored vote for a long tune, and he is probably looking to that support as a bal ance of power (a voice—“that’s what you are trying to do now”—laughter). Now what was done witii this committee's re port of the legislature ot 1878? A bill was drawn requesting a law for the regu lation of the penitentiary, or in. other words the abuses examined by the Alston committee were legislated upon to be cor rected. .11 was held that 525 convicts had escaped, that penalties of $200 were then due, and not one dollar had been collect ed. The mortality prevailing was greater than ever before. Mr. Watson then read some ext racts from the report. The death rate in Tex as, where the same system prevailed, was Jj, per cent, less per annum. Men and women were chained together, said the report, and small children had grown up in the shackles. Now who was responsi ble? The law savs the governor shall have the sexes kept apart. John W. Nelms was the penitentiary superintend ent, the governor’s appointee, and yet here were these outrages on decency and on civilization, and not a high degree of civilization at that. Tlie governor should have known those things; he is expected to perform the high duties of his office; to see that' human nature 13 not outraged. [Applause.] He is not elected to”run about over the State. lie is responsible for their abuses. [A voice—“He is!”] The penitentiary keeper is the governor’s own appointee. The rights of the poor colored convict have not been respected un der bis administration. The amelioration of their condition grew out of the act of October, 1879, developed by those abuses which obtained before. Nebns wrote a let ter in reply to my Atlanta speech. The grand jury reports, he contended, were against me. He is trying to perpetrate a fraud. These grand Jury reports have been made under the act of 1879. They did not report until a year after their charges were made. The comptroller- general was investigated, impeached and lumed'out, the State treasurer was im- jeacheH—a large majority of the senators voting for the articles which only failed because two-thirds vote was required to impeach; the agricultural commissioner resigned to cot out of a scrape, and Neluisjwas also investigated. Now ? the convict, camps were divided into sections, and Nifiins went to Superintendent Simp son and told hirn fie must pay $8 per head for moving convicts—distributing them around; but if the money was paid ho would let them remain and not dis- tributethem about as the '• law directed. Mb contractors objected, as they snould have done, but finally under protest paid the money. Gov. Brown objected and said it was not right, and Mr. Simpson went to see Gov. Colquitt about it. [Mr. Norwood then road an interview from Simpson, in whicli Governor Col quitt had said that the arrangement was a private contract of Nelms and Alexan der and he bad no right to interfere.] ■Well, if any appointee of mine was en deavoring to extort money from auy citi zen, high or low, I would teach him a les son he would not forget. [Applause.] But the interests of the State and the lessees are opposite in matters of dollars and cents. Nelms acts as the State’s , guardian in this matter. Now, Nelms ; told the lessees that he wanted an interest with them in the business. He sent for Superintendent Simpson aud told him so. Simpson sard lie would have nothing, to do with it, and advised Nelms to have nothin'" to do with it either. Nelms imd applied to three lessees for interests. He was trying to break into the penitentiary hfenself, [laughter], for it was a peniten tiary oflense for an officer to do this. .Gov ernor Colquitt was requested by the leg islature to take some action in this mat ter, but John W. Nelms is still peniten tiary keeper, though lie tried to sell out the State. [Applause.] What reason Gov. Colquitt has I don’t know. Nelms should not have been keeping the pen!-* tentiary any longer tlian I could sign a warrant putting him out. [Cheers.]” He was unworthy even the notice of the ex ecutive. [Applause.] But Nelms now attacks me, and tells a falsehood iu mak ing the attack. FINANCES. Governor Colquitt, continued the speak er, has levied ou tlie people of Georgia over $230,000 that he was not entitled to levy by law. He admits it, hut says Smith did the same thing. [Laughter.] The sum, he says, was levied to pay tlie Nutting.bsnds, principal aud interest. In 1877 he levied $117,000 more than neces sary, and 1878 $113,00 > more. But he says there is no harm done; no one lia3 stolen it. [Laughter.] But there is, fel low-citizens, a riglit way and a wrong way to levy taxes. Charles the First levied taxes in such way that cost him his head. Ido not say that Governor Colquitt had any designs on this money. Bat I mere ly allude to the slack-twisted way this administration has been carried on. [Applause.] He took out $21,000 to pay the bonds of the constitutional conven tion, without any warrant, so Gov. Smith says. Gov. Colquitt says he has reduced taxation. Why, tlie legislature does this, and 1 challenge him 'to-niglit to show where by financial skill and ability he lufe ever saved the State one dollar. [Ap plause.] In 1870 and 1879 the levies were different, because in the first case the State was in debt, in tlie second case it was not. Every dollar of tbe , $1,000,- 000 collected during liis (Colquitt’s) ad ministration ensued from suits before he was governor. The fruits happened to full into liis lap, and he claims to have planted the tree. [Applause aud laugh- ter.} MACON AND BRUNSWICK RAILROAD SALE. When the Macon and Brunswick rail road was sold, purchasers were required by law to pay the sum in State bonds, so that the State might save interest on some of her issues. Now the story goes—I do not say I believe it—I hope it is a slander —that Gov. Colquit went down into the treasury, woke up some new Laby Bonds that had been sleeping there ever since their birth, took them out of the cradle, as it were [laughter,] sold the railroad purchasers some ot these so that they could technically comply with the con tract. Now I hope this is not so, I do not contend that it is, for it is too brilliant a financial transaction for Governor Col quitt to he guilty of. [Cheers.] Mr. Norwood's lime being up, lie re tired atnid applause. GOVERNOR COLQUITT, lion. Robert H. May then arose, aud amidst prolonged cheering and bugle blasts from the band, introduced lion, Alfred II. Colquitt. Gov. Colquitt commenced by saying that he regretted having had no confer ence or conversation with Mr. Norwood before the latter had committed himself in his Atlanta speech. For there was no reason why Mr. Norwood should he hos tile to him, or should try to misrepresent him; and had lie have seen him before he had committed himself, or had worked up his passion or developed certain little in dignations, Mr. Norwood wonld to-night confess that these assaults upon him (Gov. Colquitt) were not just. [Ap plause.] But, fellow citizens, I stand here to-night to say that I have no fears of the judgment of those men whose pri vate interests are not at stake or whose political passions are not aroused. I have appealed to the people of Georgia, and to them I entrust the verdict.- It is tme that Mr. Norwood lia3 allowed his mind probably to become imbued with pre judices, and yet, if without appearing to af fect too much religion, I might repeat the lines of that old hymn, [applause and laughter] I would say to my l'rieud here : “While the lamp holds out to bum, The vilest sinner may return.” Mr! Norwood declares before you to night in tlie most sententious style that religion aud politics should not be mixed np. But for ail the effect this declaration can have upon me his invective is an ar row passing through the air, aimed at no one at all. [Applause.] No one ever heal'd me introduce religion iuto politics for personal uses; and I tell you I have neve'r appealed to the members of the Mettodist church or any other church for political vindication, and I never will. [Great applause.] Mr. Norwood has been misled; he has not been in the State for the past few years, and has not kept up with tlie history of events here. He does not know that when fun was wildly made of me for visiting Sunday-schools and “nigger” meetings, as some called them; when these men' found that the indigna tion of,the people became aroused for me, that it was then they turned about and said I was mixing up religion and polities foresee*. [Cheers and derisive demon strations.] THE NORTHEASTERN BONDS. ‘low, Senator Norwood acknowledges that he knows of nothing wrong in my signing the Northeastern railroad bonds. Then what is the trouble on this point? If there is no objection as to the point of law or of motives, what is the matter? He says that there was an investigation, and what is the inference he draws? Why, that this investigation was institu ted to see whether I had done any wrong or not. Now, all this time I knew"perfect ly well that. I had enemies, and I could account for their hostility, although I had never, that I knew of, done any man in Georgia a personal injury. But yon all know well that before I had been in ot- fiee thirty days, there were men hostile to me because they did not obtain the offices they had sought. [Great applause.] These men began to say significantly that there was something mysterious about the signature of those bonds. It wa3 then that I, myself, demanded that the legislature investigate the mattei,so that I, the executive' of Georgia, might irotect the honor of the State and my own integrity. For no matter how much I might deny it, men would go about whis pering tiie tale in every cross-road. What was tlie result? The legislature appoint ed a committee—some of them not on speaking terms with me. This was no whitewashing crowd. And yet there was not a man who did not, after thirty days investigation of every rumor connected with the signing of these bonds, sign the report of tho committee. [The report of the committee was then read by Mr. Watson, of McDuffie, by re quest. This report, as our readers all re member, completely exonerated Governor Colquitt from all chaiges of illegal con duct or corrupt practices, and denounced such rdports as “vile and malignant slan ders.” The l eading of this report was at tended with loud cheers.] The minority report, continued Got. Colquitt, concurs with the majority on this point. If this action of signing the bonds was right then, why dispute about it now? But Mr. Norwood insists that tbe manner of signing them was faulty. Well, if my manner is not os agreeable as Mr. Norwood’s, its my mis fortune and not my fault. [Laughter.] I am even convinced, that il Mr. Nor wood, in his cool moments, will read this report: over, even he will. be satisfied. [Applause.] THK ALSTON FEE. Mr. Norwood says Col. Alston wss in debted to the State when I paid him his fee. Now, I say to you that at the time this money w as paid, there was no debt established between Col, Alston and the State. Why, it I1&3 always been custom- ike State printing thereby need not he confined to the large establishments. Col. Alston contended at the time I paid him liis fees for collecting money that lie owed no money to the State. The work for which money had been advanced wa3 provided for by contract. Finally, when it was not known whether his accounts balanced or- not, suit was commenced to see if he was indebted any to the State. Two years after the foe was paid it was found in DeKalb court that he was in debted tqthe State. The money I paid to Colonel Alston was Colonel Alston’* rnonej ; the money I paid Mr. Fain was Mr. Fain’s money; and the money I paid Jackson, Lawton & Bassinger, all inter ested in tills case—was theirs. I did not put their fees into the treasury, because tlie foes belonged to them for work per formed upon contract. I held their affidavit. Yet it was said they had received money not belonging to them. But why is this called “the Alston fee?” Why not tho Henry R. Jackson fee? These were all paid out of this tee." But Alston lived in the county with me, hence it was inti mated that there was some hocus-pocus between us. [Laughter and hisses.] An attorney always has a lien upon claims in liis hands;- and all these claims were put into ono draft, and the money these gen tlemen were entitled to was paid out of it, Of course, men misinformed and preju diced may find objection to the payment of this fee; but every fair-minded man will say ’twas right. [Applause.] TUS CONVICTS. In Mr. Norwood's speech when he first appeared as a candidate from tlie com mittee of nine, [laughter,] I understand lie said that 523 convicts escaped during my administration. But now lie main tains that he said that there were 523 es caped in all; that 120 escaped during my administration, aud that 1 failed to collect the $200 per head forfeit ou them. From this it is interred that there was a pen alty on every escape, which is false. On over a hundred of them there was no penalty. All these escapes save nine teen, occurred before the law fixing auy penalty at all was passed. [Qreat ap plause.] In discussing the charge of cruelty to convicts, Mr. Norwood says I have been coquetting for colored votes. This is hardly necessary, for the colored people know that I have never performed an act towards the in inconsistent with a gentleman, a Christian and a humane man. They have seen fit to express con fidence in-me; for, as God is my judge, aud I use no irrevent phrase, I have known, in my administration, no distinc tion between black and white.' [Great applause.] And no man is fit to be chief executive, who will go into the office witii any discrimination against either race in his heart. [Loud cheers.] Now, I have been referred to derisively as “the Christian Governor,” and in this very crowd to-night, too. And yet I say that no man lias known me for the past forty years, who does not know that from my boyhood it has been my custom to read the Scripture in negro cabins to my father’s hands. [Cheers.] Long before .the war, when residing in Southwest Georgia, I did this, before I ever dreamed I would one .day be worthy of running for governor. [Cheers.] Am I to sit back and put on dignified airs now that I am governor. [Applause.] At this point, the rain which had been dripping in minority particles, was pelting the crowd in earnest, forcing the candi dates under umbrellas, and bringing the boys to their feet. Standing in the storm, however, they seemed willing to stand by Gov. Colquitt, who awaited a few mo ments the cessation of the shower. As the rain increased, however, Gov. Col quitt, warned by his own hoarseness, and considerate of tlie exposure by his friends, bared his head, advanced to the edge of tlie platform and concluded: “Just be quiet a moment, my friends, I want to say in conclusion, for I will not detain you, that I had intended to bring up Mr. Norwood’s record; but cannot do so now. I want to say that with all her detractors, the State stands better to-day than ever before, her credit is brighter, her resources more abundant-and her peo ple less'taxed than for twenty-five years. And this is all that a people should ask of an Executive.” Cheers were then repeated for each of tlie candidates by their friends, scores of people flocked to the platform, includ ing neatly colored men, and Governor Colquitt soon left with his friends, follow ed by Mr. Norwood and his friends.' The meeting was enthusiastic, earnest, hut not bitter, and the order, generally, was good. The speaking lasted but one hour and three-quarters. The candidates were' afterwards sere naded at their headquarters. They leave this morning for Madison. Rats in India. A captain iu the army, holding an ap pointment iu the Bengal Staff Corps, was staying with his wife and young child in the same station. The father, a right brave man lie was, who had been wound ed not a great while before by some hill savages, wanted to bring up his son to be hardy and fearless, like himself I should add, so the parents put their little one in a room to sleep by itself. * But they soon noticed scratches and strange marks on the young child’s hands, whicli, getting worse, made them cali in a doctor. This gentleman’s advice was encouraging: “If you don’t want your child to loose liis hands you liad better keep him away from the rats, for they have been biting him.” Travelling at one time in an out-of-the- way district, I had to put up for the night at a “d’ak bungalow,” i. e., travellers’ rest bouse. I asked the native in charge whether an sahibs bad been there lately, and he laid no, not for a long time. Be fore lying down to rest I took off my rid ing brats and flung them on one side. When I came to put them on in tlie the morning I found I should travel with much less leather than I had the previ ous day, for tlie rats had made a complete wreck of tho upper parts of the boots. I hadn’t another pair with me or I certainly should have worn them, for my appear ance was soniEwhat novel, as I was wear ing white trousers at the time, and the holes in the boot uppers were painfully manliest in consequence. An old planter in India, whose word I readily believe, assured me that tho zinc lining of some grain bins were eaten through and mended, and the perform ance was quite skillful, in that the bins were built on brick pillars, and great care was taken never to leave anything be neath for tiie rats to stand upon. But, nevertheless, they managed repeatedly, in some way, aud gnawed through ihe wood and then through tlie zinc until the grain foil out. I was living a few months in an isola ted, swampy district, and, a3 a natural se quence, the place being excessively un healthy, I was frequently attacked by the constant companions of Indian jungle life, fever and ague. The bungalow was a very rough building, and had been put up iu a hurry, and every limethe wind blew with any violence I anticipated it coming down in a space of time even less thau that In which it was put up. When laid up with fever aud unable to read, I used to watch the rats running about the beams and rafters of the roof. Their performances would hare pul Blondin altogether to Shame. I amused myseif by waiting until the rats got into difficult parts of the roof, and then clapped my hands to- startle them. But endeavoring to cause t hem to lose their balance was utterly futile. They always got out of sight in safety. I sometimes bad something eatable left on tlie table, and then watched tbe manoeu vres of the rats to carry it away. I was sorry afterward, because they got impu dent and courageous, and frequently stole things intended for my owu consump tion.—Bradford Observer. —Workmen are now replacing with iron the vast wooden span of the Phila delphia, Wilmington aud Baltimore rail road bridge over the Susquehanna river at Havre de Grace, and when this is com- . „ pleted tbe whole bridge will be of iron. ary to advance five thousand dollar* to The change from wood to iron has been the public printer; had been done from | - .

A Terrible Kidniffht Visitor, Among the many old settlers of the Pike comity hills and glea3 is an old sun burned man, who has a little cabin "a few rods hack from the regular path to Mount Union. Visitors Imre are told that he can tell many a strange tale about the pioneers and their history, and here is one that he gave a day or two ago: “You want a yarn about myself in ray younger days, do you, stranger? .Weil there’s many a one, and tough, too, might tell you. But seem’ you come from the city, and are eager for somethin’ rather excitin’, I will give you an account of tin trouble we had witii the bears when w built tlie first note! up here. That was good while ago; I couldn’t think of saying just how long. 1 was a young, strong chap then, and could lift ss heavy a load as any of ’em. Some speculative fellow from Philadelphy bad seen this place around here, aud made up his mind to build a tavern and see if he couldn’t get a lot of men here to fish. The fishin’ was wonderful in them days. “The beam were terrible plenty in this neighborhoood, although we had driven them away on tlie Jersey side. You sec. there was no one livin’ ever here then but two old trappers. They had a hut right over the hill yonder, aud not far from where the Gap House is now. The lum her for the tavern was brought down on rafts, and the first thing we aid was to put up some shanties for us to Jive in, while wo were bulldin’. The man was in a tre mendous hurry about the thing, and wanted us to work day and night, if we could. So we put up some rough huts aud made ourselves as comfortable as pos sible. The trappers were hired, too, and they came down from their- qabin every mornin’. Nights, they used to go huntin’, aud we had all the bear meat we wanted. Things went on smooth for some days, and besides a bear growl now and then, or a rattlesnake’s call, we didn’t hear anything unusual. We soon got used to the awful quiet and didn’t think of harm. “One night—’twas Saturday—we went to sleep very tired. We had worked hard until about 10 o’clock because we had the next day to rest in. Ten of us slept in one shanty and five in another. I was with the five. Just who left tlie door wide open none of us ever found out. We were all so plaguy sleepy we didn’t know what was goto’ on. It must have been soon after midnight, that I woke up reelin’ as though some one had stuck me with a knife. I was sittin’ straight up oa my bunk (we had straw ticks ou the floor), and there by my side, with one claw dug into my arm, was a big black bear. For a minute X was all broken "to pieces? Havin’ been so sound asleep and all I Vpose my wits were kinder scattered. While I was so confused I heard some one hollerin’ for help. 1 turned, and by the light of the moon, which was shinin’ I saw Bill Stivers, who had a bunk next to mine, clasped in the arms of anoth er big bear. Then I was wide awake, and gave my hand a twist. It came so sud den that the cuss hadn’t time to think, and I got my arm loose. With that I jumped to my feet and put for iny gun. The varmint was too quick for me and grabbed me round the waist-. I tell you, stranger, I thought the jig" was up. I gave a glance ’round the room. Bill was on the floor and the bear on top of him. Tlie other fellers were awake, and in came another bear. We all yelled at tbe top of our voices. Bill was nearly smoth ered, but he managed to scream for a knife. I did the same, aud then Vied to trip the cuss. He begao squeezing and I fought like the mischief. I tell you, it’s tough. Those critters will just take the breath out of you in no.time at all. I tripped the cuss somehow and I fell on top. As I fell I hit with all my might between his eyes. This seemed to stag ger him for an instant, and he let up a little on liis hold. Quicker’n I’ve been talking I had squirmed out and was kinder tumblin’ towards the wall. The varmint was after me right off, and I couldn’t reach my gun. All I could get was my jack-knife, which was lying on- a box. Before I could get my arm up iWtli it I was in the chap’s claws. “I knew tlie time would be over mighty quick if something desperate warn’t done for the critter was madder’n fury. I just stuck the knife into his heart and again and again. Of course, he had my arms pressed against my side, and all I could use was my hand. That alone didn’t deal very hard blows, but it was life or eternity with me, 30 I did the best. I was weakning fast, but I kept it up. Pret ty quick everything .began to swim and my power was goiu’ fast. I knew that my jack was doin’ some good, for I could feel tlie blood runin’ from tbe bear. His terrible grip continued though, and I could- tell that - the last of my foolin’ had come. I must have hollered as loud as I could, for I remember hearin’ a sound and \yords of some kind. I was stokin', when I heard like a noise ’way off, the report of a gun. On a second I tumbled ou tiie floor, all in a heap, and the cuss, lettin’ go of me; rolled over dead. It was one of them trappers saved my life.— Philadelphia Ledger. Rust in Cotton.

The rows were ran north and , pa sou'll, (as cotton rows should always be COfflmiSSjOfl mcTCl J SfitS run if practicable), and the entire held. with the exception of six rows, about tbe middle of it, was manured with one hun dred pounds of phosphate, and three bushels of cotton seed per acre. The. north cud of tiie field covered six acres of poor laud that had not been plant ed in cotton for some years, because the rust was there always fatal. These six acres had been left fallow in l$7S,andthe growth of crab grass thereon was ploughed under in November of that year. At the south end were three acres that had been planted in cow peas the same year, the peas were picked ofl, but the vines plough ed under. By the middle of July the rust appeared in the middle section of twenty- one acres, over which it spread in the course of the rest of the mouth and August, only very slightly touching the six rows that had received no phosphate, and en tirely stopping as soon as the two sections of six and three acres at opposite ends of the field were reached. The middle sec tion of twenty-one acres produced a yield of one hundred and eighty-five pounds lint per acre, while those at the two ends averaged two hundred and seventy pound*. The six rows that had no phos phate produced more cotton ar.d remained green longer in the twenty-one acre sec tion than those on either side of them. These results demonstrate that humus in the soil will prevent rust, and also that unless there is snch humus, the applica tion bf one hundred pounds of phosphate per acre will not repay its high cost. The problem to be solved, therefore, is how to put humus Into a cotton field of one hundred acres or more. Anything can be done with one acre, and from such a small patch enormous results may be obtained, clearly demonstrating the possi ble-results very interesting to agri cultural chemists, and those intelligent planters who may have ample cash capi tal, hut not of much practical value to the average farmers of the South, who do not understand chemistry, and have no cash capital whatever. It appeals to us that the-ouly practical solution 13 the ap plication of cow peas. This is a means within the reach of all farmers. At tbe time of the last working of tlie crop, a furrow should bo run between the rows with a bull tongue plow, iu which the peas should be sown at the rate ol a half bushel per acre. T'.icy should be covered with a sweep, whicli w ill aiso.gjve the last ploughing to lira cotton. The staple crop will, by this time, be so ad vanced that lira peavines cannot injure it, and a* cotton cannot grow sufficiently large in land In which it rus.s to shade the middles, the peas will make good vine?-., which will supply to tlie soil the needed humns it allowed to die on the land. Salt is considered by some ai preventive of rust, but, li've lime, it is efficacious only when the soil contains humus or vegeta ble matter not yet decayed. —And d alrr.i ti.— FEKTIL3ZSRS, General Agents for the Delta Cotton, Tie.
