- &tu&c THE GEOBGIA PRESS. The new proprietors of the Home Tribune have changed tho hour of going to press from 12 to 9 or 10 o’clock at night. The business of Romei says the Tribune, is “picking up.” That is rather a ques tionable business in some sections. It is said that Mr. Thos. P. Ilanbnrg, only eighteen years old, is one of the most accurate and rapid short hand writers in the South. Du. Felton, like Mr. Stephens, is “toting his own skillet,” and giving the gu bernatorial flurry a wide berth. Mr. Young Reese, of Warrenton, while feeding a steam coUon gin, near Camak, had his arm torn to shreds by his shirt sleeve becoming entangled in the saws. He was doing well at last ac counts. Gen. Toombs will speak in Wilkes county on the 11th inst. George Handel, of Augusta, a man of eighty years, had his first accident a few days ago by having liis leg broken by a cow. Eufaula, (Ala.,) Times: We regret the necessity for stating that Prof. J. C. Hinton has severed his connection with Eufaula Graded School. He has been elected to a chair in tin Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College, lo cated in the fine old Capitol building at Milledgeville, Ga., and hence his resi dence in our city will cease. We con gratulate him upon his success as an edu cator, while we regret to lose him as a citizen. Deaf and Dumb Asylum.—Rome Tribune: We were informed yes'erday by Prof. W. O. Connor, principal, that the exercises of the above named institu tion would be resumed to-day, with 30 or So pupils in attendance. We noticed quite a number of the mutes going down on the different trains yesterday. Warrenton Clipper: It has been sug gested to us that Governor Rabun, one of Georgia’s greatest Governors, lies buried in a neglected grave m Hancock county on Mr. G. F. Rhodes’ place, about four miles above Mayfield. It lias been fur ther suggested to us to make the inquiry, “If there be any one in reach of the Clip per who can point out the precise spot where the Governor was buried?” The locality can ersily be located, but the precise spot has nothing to designate it. . Two of Governor Rabun’s granddaughters are now living in Macon, Ga. They are daughters of our father’s eldest brother, William Shivers, Jr. It may be that should any action he taken to place a monument over their grandfather’s grave, they could give some information concerning him. It has been remarked that it is quite'strange that Han cock county, so full uf enterprise and his torical pride, should have allowed this greatest of her sous’ grave to pass into ob livion and obliteration. The State should take this matter in band and see that something is done to mark the last resting place of one of her best executives. Our attention has been called to this subject by disinterested parties, and we are pleased to put the Clipper on record as being strongly in favor of immediate ac tion. • As a Norwood paper, on Macon’s dis grace, the Sumter llepublican has the fol lowing to say, speaking of Governor Col- a uitt: He was frequently interrupted uring his remarks by cries for “Nor wood,” and once or twice the clamor be came so great that Mr. Bacon had to ask that the noise should be stopped—at one time it was so great that he made an ap peal to the crowd. We can but condemn such things. It was a disgrace to the city of Macon and an insult to the State of Georgia through their Governor. No matter what the people may think of Gov ernor Colquitt, he is their Governor and they should respect him. It may be true that he was dodging the issues thrust Upon him, but they should have waited patiently to have given their verdict at the ballot-box, which from the indications and what we could learn will be heavy enough in Bibb county. Augusta Chronicle: Not often in September do we have a succession of hot days and nights like these. When the mercury gets no lower than 72 degrees at 4 a. m., the coolest hour, usually, of the night, it shows such nights as we com monly experience about the 5th of July. Yesterday the heat was 76 to 91 degrees in the shade. Gales and hurricanes may Well follow such “spells of weather” as We have had ever since the 1st of May, and the gales and hurricanes have not been lacking. Savannah News: Yesterday morning Captain Thomas Dermot, master of the bark Will W. Cbas;, was arraigned be fore the mayor, in the police court, Charged with violating quarantine regula tions by coming to the city without per mission of the quarantine officer, on the 2d inst. The charge was made by Dr. J. T. McFarland, health officer, and was sus tained by the evidence. The mayor en tered a fine of $100 against the captain Marietta Journal; The “ Convict • Catechism,” illustrated with the pieture of a negro with ball and chain, contain ing four pages of matter, is a very unwise , publication, and reflects more upon the Democratic party and the civilization of the South than upon Gov. Colquitt. That publication and Gen. Wofford’s recent convict speech will be used North to in jure the Democratic party in the Presiden tial race. Gentlemen, please be discreet In what you do and say. Remember, curses like chickens may come home to roost. Columbus Enquirer: The news reacli- • ed this city yesterday morning of a fatal cutting scrape which occurred the previous ■ day on the plantation of Frank Sizemore, in Stewart county, the particulars of which are as follows: Calvin Moses and Robert Wimberly,two negroes, were brothers-in-law. Calvin treated his wife so badly that she sepa rated from him and went to live with Robert for protection. Monday Calvin went to a field where Robert and his (Calvin’s) wife were pulling fodder and worked with them until 12 o’clock and then went home with them to dinner. Aftei dinner Calvin began to abuse his wife when Robert interfered. Calvin drew his knife and attempted to cut Rob ert. He made a desperate stroke, but Robert dodged th? lick and Calvin buried the blade in his own thigh, from the ef fects of which he bled to death in less than an hour. No legal investigation was considered necessary, though we heard it rumored yesterday that efforts would be made to fix the murder on the negro Robert. Butler Herald: Henry Wallace, who is about ten years of age, son of Col. W. S. Wallace, while out bud hunting on Friday evening last, in loading his gun it was suddenly discharged, the contents of Which entered his left hand inflicting a painful wound, and causing the arnputa- | tion of his middle linger. The Grand Lodge of Good Templars i of the State of Georgia, commenced their - annual session in Savannah on last Tues day. Tho News says: There are present in attendance upon [ the Grand Lodge one hundred and thirty i delegates representing almost every lodge in the State, among whom are quite a • number of ladies. They are a fine looking body, and represent the best elements of Georgia society, mostly farmers, but with a small sprinkling of professional | Th* Savannah News of Wednesday I says: We regret to announce this morning the death of one of Savannah’s old and respe. able citizens, Hiram Roberts, Esq., which sad event occurred at his residence at 4 a. m. yesterday.

The committee of nine to devise a . lec- ture plan for the ensuing year submitted their report, recommending a change _ in the present system, looking to the division of the field into Congressional districts, which report elicited considerable discus sion, and which finally terminated by the adoption of a substitute, offered byJ. G. Thrower, placing the whole matter in the bands of the executive committee. Hon. A. P. Adams has been recom mended by a meeting of Iris friends as a candidate for the Legislature. A negro, W.

Columbus Times: It is astonishing how disgusting tue “nigger” element Las be come to the Norwood crowd since Nor- cross failed to carry them against the Col- quitt-Bourbou Democracy. The Griffin News on “our hoys:” The Macon cannoneer fires off his .how itzer -every time Mr- Norwood -passes through the city. The discharges are blank cartridges, he it remembered. The behavior of the “wise young men” in Macon Monday night is making votes for Colquitt. The Macon cannoneer is still for Nor wood. This is a cumbersome piece of bluster. The people will spike that how itzer iu October. Rosie Tribune: Tne ran off of the up passenger train on the Selma. Rome aud Dalton railroad last Tuesday tvening, wa3 caused by a spike beiug driven in one of the cross ties, which extended about two inches above the track. The spike whieh caused the accident was put there by a tramp, who lias since been arrested, and is now in jail at Jacksonville, Ala. He should receive the fullest extent or the law. Brunswick Advertiser: We under stand that Dr. W. B. Burroughs will erect, at an early day, quite a number of neat cottages, to rent to mechanics aud others unable to pay high rent. He will thus supply a long felt need. LaGbange Reporter: We have, rare- ly witnessed a more touching scene than occurred last Sunday morning in the Methodist Sunday school when Superin tendent Watermau resigned liis position and spoke farewell. He had been con nected with the school so long that he had endeared himself to all, teachers and scholars alike. It was a severing of old ties for him to leave, and his loss is little less than a calamity to the school. The Coffee county Gazette mournfully asks: “Is Colquitt’s office to he perpetu ated because he fought a battle at Olus- tee ? Is he the only General that ever fought a battle?” He is the only mau that ever foughtoue now running for Governor. The Brunswick Advertiser, in speaking of the Berrien county News, says: The last issue of the above sheet pre-seats a “uiixtry” of gubernatorial matter. The senior editor, Col. Hanlon, got up the out side of his paper, aud then made a flying trip to our fair city. Taking ou too much “sea air,” he went back sick, aud liis ju nior, Col. Lastiuger, got up the inside of the paper. They evidently sing a differ ent song in politics, as these few lines will show: From the outside: “Hold the fort, for we are coming,” Cry the Norwood clan; “Shout the tidings over Georgia, Norwood is our inanl” From the inside: Open the fort, let Norwood in, He, retreats from the Colquitt band. The Independents are too few, And he’s deserted by the Republicans. Take him off the political track, Tell him that the people say The unfortunate event of his life Was taking back-salary pay. Tm Sal annaii News says of the Grand Lodvt: ul Good Tcinpiars, which is now recover. The old Chatham Academy is being put in order fot the opening of the public schools in Savannah. A burg lab entered the office of Mabry & Crovatt, in Brunswick, and robbed the safe. Mr. Crovatt lost S150. A man by the name of Moulden was arrested, but was subsequently discharged for want of testimony. Brunswick Appeal: Again our Glynn county jail falls under public censure. The building, besides beiDg a disgrace to the county in appearance and in its com fortless condition, is utterly unsafe, and only has the name of a prison. It is about as easy to break out of it as to break in, and enterprising prisoners remain iu it on ly so long as it suits them. On Sunday night last, George Mattox and Sandy" Jones, both colored, the former lodged for hog stealing aud the latter for horse stealing, tore away the grating from the window to their cell and walked out and away to parts unknown. The Albany News shows us what other people think of us: Mr. H. A. Ledbetter, of Baker, called in to see us yesterday. Mr. Ledbetter had just returned from Macon, where he wit nessed the disgraceful scene of Monday, occasioned by the meeting of Governor Colquitt and Mr. Norwood. Mr. Led better says that the Norwood rabble made such a disturbance that Hon. A. O. Ba con, one of the Norwood committee men, arose and denounced their action, telling them that such action on their part was outrageous and would do the Norwood party harm. Mr. Ledbetter also states that he saw and talked with many men who went there for Norwood and came away for Colquitt, on account of the ill- treatment the Governor received at the hands of the NorwoCdites. Gainesville Eagle: The King’s Moun tain centennial promises to bring together one of the largest crowds ever assembled in the Souh. The transportation lines from Texasto Maryland will sell tickets to King’s Mountain and return, good for thirty days from date of sale, sale com mencing October 1st and continuing to the 5tfi, at the rate of one and oue-lourth cents per mile each way. This is the lowest excursion rate ever offered to the the public, covering such an area of terri tory. For full particulars address W. J. Houston, chairman transpoi.ation com mittee, Atlanta, Ga. Columbus Enquirer: Mr. John I. Da vid died very suddenly yesterday evening at his residence, about eight or nine miles northeast ot this city. He was taken with apoplexy yesterday morning about 10 o’clock, and all that human skill could do brought him no relief. He suffered until 0 o’clock in the evening, when death re leased him from all pain. Mr. David would have been sixty-three years of age in Novembei next, and has lived iu this county about twenty years. He was born in Elbert county and moved from there to Harris and subsequently to this county, where he died. He was a consistent mem ber of the Baptist church, aud died with an assurance of a better life beyond die grave. Augusta Chronicle: Mr. Hill Sande- ford, one of the oldest and most respect ed citizens of Waynesboro, was buried at Old Church Sunday. He was about 75 years old, and had been a very active planter up to within a mouth or so of his death. Caktebsyille Express: Mr. Cornelius Willingham, of the Free Press, will start to-morrow morning ou a tour through Georgia, as advance agent for “Bill Arp,” the great Southern humorist, who pro poses to lecture during the fall, iu this, and adjoining States, on the subject, “Dixie Now and Dixie Then, 1860^80.” With Mr. Willingham as agent, “Bill Arp’’ as lecturer, and “Dixie” the sub ject, we predict a grand success. Mb. Lott Warren, in retiring ..-om the editorial chair of the Albany News, says: “My journalistic life, though brief, has been most pleasant. With my asso ciates, my intercourse has been most agreeable aud friendly, and toward the readers of the News I have grown to feel a nearness of sympathy that bound us in a common friendship. I have loved the labor in which I have engaged, and have endeavored to perform it purely and faith- me * fully. 1 can only hope that others may have found in the results of my labors some of - the pleasure their performance has given me. I bid adieu to these asso- ciatious with many regrets, and shall often revert to them with pleasure. To the brethren of the press, I return thanks for the uniform courtesies extended me, and bid adieu to the Fourth Estate with many pleasant recollections and sincere regrets. Lott Warren. Darien Gazette: The rice-birds are late coming this season. This time last year there were plenty of them in the fields, but so far, this season, the planters have not been bothered much with them. Captain Barnwell informs us that they will not hurt the rice on General’s aud Cbampney’s islands now, but he is afraid that they will do harm at Selon. When they come, it will no doubt be with a rush. “ Broken Bone Fever.” — Augusta News: This disease is spreading through out our city, in some cases we hear of three or four being dowu iu a single family. There are about 600 cases re ported here, and we learn that there are 1,500 cases in Charleston. It Is also very prevalent in Savannah, as we learn from the News. The disease is not fatal, but very annoying. LaGbaxge Reporter: We learn that Mr. Cox, a young man of Mountville, while out riding last Friday, accidentally cut himself in the neck. His horse stum bled and in tiyiug to recover the reins, Mr. Cox punctured the jugular vein with an open knife which he held in his hand. The wound is not dangerous. Buunswick Advertiser: Of all the dis respect ever heaped upon a public speaker of note, IntheStato of Georgia, that re ceived by Governor Colquitt in Macon the past week was the blackest. We blush to own that tl\ere was to be found iu the State of Georgia a place where the peop’e were so ill-mannered as to insult their chief executive in such a manner. Macon aud Columbus have been lowered in the eyes of the world. The Cuthbert Appeal gets off the following old story: A certain citizen of Randolph who will talk politics under all circumstances, was returning from Macon afe.r days since and was exceedingly boisterous in his propositions to bet so many bale*- of cotton or a thousand dol lar): that Hancock would be elected, was completely sucked in by au unsophisticat ed fellow passenger who said that cotton he uaa none, and liis cash could be easily coumcu if iu uickles, but that he would Sldk6 bis last dollar ou the declaration that ,e could name a city iu the South of o\ er .0,000 inhabitants that would not pall a single vote for Hancock. This proposition was eagerly accepted by our county friend, when forty dollars were placed in the bands ot a friend, and the Chatham. Nominations. At a very large mass meeting held in Savannah on Thursday night, delegates to the convention of the first congressional district were appointed, and instructed to present the name of Hon. A. Pratt Adams as a candidate for Congress. Hon. Rufus E. Lester was also recom mended and endorsed to represent the first district in the-State Senate. The next business in order was the se lection of candidates for the lower house of the General Assembly. The following three gentlemen were nominated: W. S. Bassinger, G. N. Nichols and D. V. Bacon. The first a lawyer, the second a mechanic, and the last a merchant. Captain A. A. Winn then offered the following resolu tion, which was received and adopted with unbounded applause: Resolved, Tbatjthe citizens of Chatham county, in mass meeting assembled, do most cordially endorse and strongly re commend to our immediate representa tives, and to the people of Georgia, to fill the unexpired term in the United States Senate, occasioned by the resignation of the Hon. John B. Gordon,our distinguished fellow-citizen, Gen. A. R. Lawton. Gen. Lawton was present and re sponded as follows. We quote from the News: Fellow-citizens of Chatham county, not often have I been embarrassed iu appear ing before you iu any capacity in which 1 have been called from the simplest to the highest. I say it, aud I feel you will be lieve I am sincere, that I had no idea of any such resolution being introduced or so flatteringly and cordially passed or would not have been here. It is, how ever, another evidence of the kindness which has always been accorded me in this community. With my hand on my heart, I can truly say that I have never sought office from you, though apppreci- ating the honors you have bestowed upon .[Applause.] I may say here, how ever, that from different pans of the Stale I have received letters urging me to be come a candidate for this high position, but I have not announced myself until presented by my own community iu this most flattering manner. [Applause.] Up to this time no such auuouncement has ever been made by my authority. I say It with pride that I have letters from many distinguished Democrats iu the State on the subject, and if it is the pleas ure of the people to place me in this high position I will take all the risk and re sponsibilities, and whether in suroess or defeat I shall never forget this demonstra tion by you, my fellow-citizens. [Ap plause.] These offices belong to the people and not to any one mau or set of men, and when auy man is presented who is considered better and more able to* strike down a coalition that would seek to make these offices subjects of bar gain or sale, or who may be deemed bet ter qualified for the Ugh position, my name will be withdrawn. [Applause]. Whenever I shall be advised by the citizens of Georgia that my name is the cause of distraction or occasion of discord, _ will promptly retire. In the full ness cf my heart I return to you, my fel low-citizens, thanks for this flattering ex pression of your kindly feelings and wish es, and I can tell you that if it shall result iu defeat, no man, no friend of mine shall ever blush for auy effort I may make in the contest. I will at all hazards be guided by self-respect. Should your wish be gratified, and my pride be gratified, for such a prize so tendered can but excite emotion, £ will endeavor to represent faithfully your interests and good name, and the people of the State of Georgia.

THE •'CONVICX^CATEggSM." lion’ tlie Convicts are Treated at the Dade County Mines. * “The Convict Catechism” is luckily ..so ineffably vile that it aots like a boomer ang. Attempting to help Norwood and hurt Colquitt, it smites the former mor tally, and, though not intended, advances the cause of the latter immeasurably. When partisans push their zeal too ftr and beyond the bounds of. decency aud truth, a healthy reaction always takes place in public sentiment, and the authors and abettors of malpractice are, by tlie rot’sed indignation of their fellow-citizens,' consigned to utter defeat. This will he tlie case with those*who sought to defame Colquitt and uphold Norwood by spawn ing falsehood and compelling innocent type to print their monstrosity. ' The intent of this pamphlet on the con vict system is to impress all readers with the idea that a hell on earth lias been es tablished iu Georgia, and that Governor Colquitt is responsible for it. We need not repeat that Goveruor Colquitt is ia no sense or degree responsible for this convict system. It did not originate in his terms of office, and what could he done to alleviate the condition of prison ers has been done. The insidious design is farther reaching than the mere implica tion of Governor Colquitt in the existence of the system. It seeks to create the im pression that whatever may have been the evils of the convict camp they now exist, and that Norwood must be looked to alone for deliverance. All of this is mendacious romance, and, in proof of what we say, let a Norwood man, and one, too, who docs not favor particularly Senator Brown, speak. This gentleman has had extensive personal acquaintance with the Dade county coal mines, where so many convicts are at work. He is in dignant that false statements should be made, calculated to injure not only the Governor of this State, but the people of the commonwealth and tho Democracy of the Union. With the righteous horror of the sinister means employed for that pur pose, ho delivers his testimony, which we vouch for as follows: The convict camp in Dade county leased by Senator Brown is a model one. No laboring men are unkindly treated there. The prisoners are moderately worked aud humanely cared for. A fair task for good labor is the loading of five small cars, of eighteen bushels each, a day. Any coal above that maximum task is paid for by the company to the convict. Some con victs make as much as forty or fifty cents a day. One man has made and now holds $500, aud there is now to the credit of convicts the considerable sum of $2, 000, ready to be paid ou. demaud. A mur der convict, Jim Collius, has sent home to bis wife at times as much as $15 in one month, and often $10. In regard to the feeding and general care of convicts, our informant says that nothing is left to he desired. They have .plenty of meat aud the finest coru meal aud vegetables every day and as much wheat flour as they want on Sunday. There is a first-class corn mill in the camp and a garden of over sixty acres to supply vegetables to about 400 convicts. They are also abundantly- supplied with fruit, wagon loads of 'watermelons and cantaloups beiug driven into the stockade at tlie time of refreshment. The convicts arc never forced to work in a hard rain, aud, in case of a drizzle, each man has a big tatpaulin, which the company furnishes, to completely protect him from being wet. About “the poor fellows being forced to grub in the bowels of the earth,” it is answered that there is no hardship in it at all, as they seem to prefer work iu the excavations to being on the surface. It is cooler aud pleasanter than working in the sun, and, in winter, more protected from the cold than out side. They are well cared for by a good phy sician, when sick, and never obliged to go out until pronounce'd well. Our informant states that, as to punish ments, there have been but two or three flogged or disciplined iu anyway during the past six months, which comprise the term of his personal observation. No boss or overseer is allowed to strike convict or to use harsh or profane language .to him. Cases of neglect of work or stubborn insubordination arc reported to the assistant superintendent, who is a most just and considerate man; and auy punishment thought proper—always mod erate—is ordered or administered by him. Our Norwood friend declares that the convicts all seemed cheerful and happy, and that he was never more surprised in his life than when ho began to look into and investigate the convict camp of Dade county. He was struck by the humanity and justice exercised toward the laborers, about seventy-five oi whom are white men and the rest colored. Both classes are treated exactly alike, and the conduct to ward either could not be improved in any respect. A great deal has been said about Cox who killed Alston, being kept out of the mines and given an easy place. Our in formant states that Cox is made to do the kind of work lie is most able to perform. to the utmost extent of his capacity. He has charge of all the tools aud picks, of the harness, of sixty mules and carts—to keep them in order. He has not a mo ment of idle time, and no laborer works harder in his way than Cox, who has been placed in this position, not so much to favor him, but because he is more use ful in it than any other. He is made to give labor to the company that is worth from $50 to $75 per month, as it would cost that to employ a man who could fill his place. Iu furnishing these details, our inform ant emphatically stated that nothing could be made against Governor Colquitt by talking against the convict system, so far as he bad any observation of it at the Dade county camp. He adds: “Al though I am going to vote for Norwood and hope to see him elected, I have been in a position to know all about the treat ment of convicts in the camp, and I do not like to see injustice done or condem nation given where it does not belong and i3 not deserved.” What the special rea son is tint guides this upright man to rote for Norwood we cauuot say. But his testimony as to the convict system at Dade couniy—which we presume is but a type of the whole—completely demolishes “The Convict Catechism,” aud adds an other load of opprobrium to tlie man who begot it, and to those who circulated it.— Chronicle and Constitutionalist. A “Level-Headed” Old Lady.— Satintown, Long island, has an ancieut and highly respected resident in the per son of Mrs. Sarah Betts, who has survived the snows of eighty winters with a sound body and a sound mind. “Aunt SalJy,” as she is familiarly called, is frequently visited by members of the clam hake par ties which frequent that neighborhood, aud a few days ago a delegation of clam baking Republicans thought they would interview her on political subjects. This is what they got, according to a report iu the New York Star: “Well, hoys, I don’t know what you are, but I am a Democrat, uot iu name butiu principle. I learned Democracy from the constitution; it gives us liberty, and I revere the memory of the good men who made it. Ouly read the history of the countryfor the past twentyyears, and what is it but a reign of rascality never equaled!” [Sensation.] A Garfield- man interrupted the old lady to ask her about the old Whig party. Aunt Sally replied: “Why, the old Whigs were a set of mongrels. 1 love Democracy. Look at tlie way Mr. Tilden was robbed of the office the people elected him to. My God, what kind of.a conscience must the man have who stole the presidency! [Sensation.] I don’t know Gen. Hancock, out they tell me lie was fighting for his country on the battlefield while the other fellow was making mouey on the pave ments at Washington'.” A young man of the party interrupted Auut Sally, when she replied: “Well, George, we don’t agree iu politics, but 1 NOTES ON THE CAMPAIGN. Ill—Tlie Crnvsutlou. Several of Mr. Norwood’s “tools,” who are anxious forfame ‘ as stump-speakers, and who are rapidly making a reputation as the champion stump’suckers of the State, have-charged that Governor Col- jntfn who has beetfrqSommended by ndar--' joint discussion, I can but think how in- quitt is.a disorganize! - , and is responsible for the dismemberment of the Democratic party. The Colquitt men have watched this boomerang with pardonable pleasure as It returns with double force to flatten the heads of those who hurled -it. Let us have the facts and figures on this point, fop the matter can be settled, with statisti cal, accuracy. " . In tlie preliminary campaign, Governor Colquitt went before tha'pfibple for re- electron, and vindication h’ganiSt tlie dismember the Democracy, auilbefraught charges oi his enemies. I his is the fa.- with disaster to the business interests of ly two-thirds of the representative* of the people of Georgia so unfit for office that it'is our duty as patriots to put out a candidate against him and involve the State in the risks of such a course ? Cannot our con victions of his unfitness be sufficiently ^re spected by ourselves in refusing to vote for him? Is the danger in his having the - office greater than, the calamity of- precip itating upon the people a campaign which Will 'galvanize Republicanism into Jife, the State'? Mr. Norwood in the chair, vorite cry of the Norwood orators, aud it does not lio in their mimth3 (except soj with, power to appoint committees, said far. as. everything lies .in the tlir.oat uf Yes. oh, patriotism, what crimes have- prejudice) to deny it. The opposing can didates m most of the counties made common cause against Goveruor Colquitt, and the issue was fairly, openly, under- staudingly. fought between him and - the opposition. The two ' hundred and tea delegates who were in structed for him could only fairly represent the suflrages of their constituents by voting for him. The delegates from those counties in which the issue of Col quitt and anti-Colquitt was made were to the same extent hound (up to the time of the. disclosure of the result) to vote for any other candidate except Colquitt. But when the assembling of tlie conven tion revealed the outcome of the canvass —then, after tho adoption of the two- thirds rule, the question which confronted the majority aud minority was this. Since we on tlie one hand are instructed to sustain Colquitt, and we on the other to sustain anybody but him—which sine, to-preserve tlie union of the party, ouglit in reason and justice to yield ? One little incident, a specimen of many others, will show how the anti-Colquitt element answered that question: Mr. Watson, of McDuffie, a young man al most unknown, was raised to the pinna cle of hero, because he expressed so aptly the feeling that prevailed among the mi nority. Said he, speaking of the Demo cratic party as “Old Ironsides,” “Nail to the mast the holy flag, Set every threadbare sail, And give her to the god of winds, The lightning and the gale.” This was cheered until tliq. cornerstone of the State house trembled. Now, trans late it into plain Euglish aud it simply means, “Before we will nominate Col- quilt, the Democratic party may go to li—1, or any other place in tlie dash dia lect.” Against this spirit the majority opposed, for day after day, the solid frontof its 210 and finally 224 votes. They had two grounds upon which to base their plea to the minority for concession—1st, That the people had fought the fight aud gained the victory by all except a technical frag ment ; 2d, That since division was inevi- teble, if neither would yield, 210 had a greater right than 140 to expect concession from the other. But it is said that this position of the majority was PERSONALISM. the minutes.” They remained in tlie con vention and voted against the recommen dation, but .as members.of the convention they, took no other step. the political MKLfcniZED&K; atfentfofc, although I am to speakas you When they met as private citizens, the! i‘, ave spoken, fortlie majority’s choice’for question before them was this Ms the . O Norwoodites, where are your diction aries? The word “persoual” isoftenest used as indicating objection to a person, as in the phrase, “a personal remark.” “Personality” is commonly used to ex press au unfavorable comment on a per son'. Who, theu, is guilty of personalism ? Why is there any more personalism iu saying “Weshall re-elect Colquitt gov eruor,” than in saying “We will take any body but Colquitt?” modesty. But it is said Gov. Colquitt should have had the modesty to retire when he saw he had a mammoth fraction less tliau a two- tliirds majority. Colquitt is accused of sentimentalism; hut this view is so emo tional, so Utopian, so unlike anything that happens in this practical world, that it must emanate from “political infants.” A candidate with a minority sometimes patriotically retires; a few candidates with majorities have been known to retire from that “gratitude which is a lively sense of futuro favois.” But no sensible, mau could say that Gov. Colquitt was uuder any duty to foifeit the fruits of his victory. That the charge of immodesty should come from a candidate who was sent to the convention to elect another man and who is out by the call of a mutual admi ration society appointed by himself is part of the brilliant irony of the cam paign. THE PLEDGE. It is said that Governor Colquitt was bound not to run unless-he received a nomination under the two-tliirds rale. But this is a flagrant misrepresentation, because its assumes wliat is utterly un true—viz: that the convention pledged itself to make a nomination. This they did uot do. They merely said if we nom inate, we will do so by the two-thirds rule, Failing to nominate, the convention re commended. So, tho question is, uot whether Governor Colquitt has broken pledge, hut has not au honored Georgiau, for the first time iu his life, in making such a charge, fractured the clear crystal of his reputation for perfect candor? Is he not, too, (he same mau who received a part of the Alston fee, although as a mem ber of another firm? Let him tell the people if it was not right for Colquitt to pay what it was right for him to receive. I conclude with the figures. The respon sibility of breaking up the convention was mutual. The justifications for it were in tlie votes of 224 for Colquitt to 132 for the opposition aud nine for Norwood. No-Axe. P. S.—Iu these notes I do not wish to vary from the plan intended, but under the proper heads I will notice what is said ou the other side. As to the indorse ments of Norwood I can only now say that I have seen very good indorsements secured by very bad-priucipals, but 1 do nor think auy indorsement can holster up what is wrong. The constitution of 1871 expressed tlie opinion of Georgia oil the salary grab in these words: (Code sup. § 0S1.) “The General Assembly shall nut grant or authorize extra com pensation to auy public officer, agent or comptroller, after the service lias been rendered or the contract entered into.” Are tlie people of- Georgia ready to go back ou themselves-? Mr. Norwood may claim no vindication at the end of his im aginary administration; hut there is a strong necessity for white-washing now. IV- been committed in thy name! The com mittee ou incubation was appointed, but I cannot dwell on the mysterious process by which Norwood, like Melchizedek, with out father or mother, leaps from his own shell. THE REAL ISSUE is not, therefore, a mere question, of choice between Colquitt and Norwood. No I^mocrat who looks to the history of this matter and the principles involved, lias the right to treat it as a mere question of preference. It will not do to say that since two candidates are out, we will vote without reference to what those candi dates represent. It is true, beyond con tradiction, that Mr. Norwood has no earthly justification for his candidacy ex cept iu the position that Colquitt, al though the choice of the people in the primaries, is so unfit for office that the people’s interests will be more endangered by his election than by -dividing the party aud throwing the State into a heated “civil war.” Unless this is true, Mr. Norwood has ho claim on any Democratic voter, even though the latter would prefer him, if he came before the people in the same way. As an open question between the two if staudiug ou the same footing, until. Mr. Norwood can defend the salary steal ou some other ground than that it has been indorsed—until he can convince tlie people that it is a worthy occupation to be “attorney” for a railroad that expects to get intoexisteuce by lobbying—until he can show that the man who “had sense enough to keep out of the fire” during the war (and kept out) is entitled to equal honor from Southern people with the man who was “weak” enough to go in it—he is not entitled to champion the patriotic attempt of the minority to convince tlie majority than they are wrong. To the issue, aud that alone, let us keep. The minority do not deny that the calamity of the party division is very great. Therefore Colquitt’s unfitness must be very, very great, to he a greater evil. If unfit, why ? Gov. Smith, the bitterest and strongest of his opponents, says Colquitt is not corrupt. No such charge is made, even in all the floods of detraction poured out upon him. The only change then (with seventeen hydra- ‘J heads) is weakness. It is proved that this weakness was so menaci ig to the people (deluded into confidence by his mental and iuoral strength) that his elec tion would be a greater evil than Nor wood has brought upon us ? The evi dence is before us. Let it be discussed solely-with reference to the point at stake. .No Axe. P. S-—Since “Norwoodite” still hob bles ou the crutch of Norwood’s “indorse ments,” I will take up the gauntlet and make the comparison in due time. Au Outside View. Eufaula, Ala., Sept. 9,1SS0. Editors Telegraph vnd Messenger: Par- don me for me^claiming any share of your Governor. from your account of the •The Beal Issue Before the Peo ple. In the late convention the crack of the caucus whip kept the minority iu liue. When Judge Lawson was nominated by a Colquitt man, and the applause of the minority threatened to unroof the house, he got three Colquitt votes, but not one from the minority. It was kuowu that Colquitt was the second choice of enough delegates to nominate Jiiui; aad the only way to prevent their goiug to him was to keep the first choice of these delegates be fore the convention. This was done by caucus rule. The minority were afraid to trust even their leaders ou a committee of conference, unless the dreaded name of the weak Colquitt was withheld from their consideration. The convention had the right by its own law to do anything by a majority, ex cept to noiniuate. Finding a nomination impossible, tlie convention recommended Governor Colquitt to re-election by 22 out of 350. This they had the right to do. Except tor Mr; Norwood’s objections, there wouiJ have, been other additions to the 224, sufficient to make a nomination. But ah 1 he haJ bis axe to grind, .and he stopped the revolutions of the grind stone just iu tiuid to keep it large enough to answer hU purposes. People sup posed, at tlie time, that Mr. Norwood’s purposes had some reference to Mr. Les ter, who was so great a mau that Mr. Norwood’s words in describing him were to turn to pearls ou li’s lips. But Lester was his handle—not his axe. THE KiGUTS OF TUE MINORITY. Minorities hare rights which majorities are bound to respect. If the latter were attempting to foist on tbe convention a corrupt aud unfit man, whose election would endanger aud disgrace the State, no one will deny the right of the minority to resist such a result in auy mode less uaii irons than the result itself. But in this case the minority did not secede; they did uot even cuter a slashing “protest on Letter from Louisiana. Lake Providence, La., September 1st, 1880, Editors Telegraph and Messenger A few jottings from this distaut laud may uot he altogether uniuteresting to some of your readers. We are in the midst of a very trying ordeal. The third crop of cotton worms made their appearance in this locality about Saturday last, and on some plantations have about eaten the entire foliage from the cotton, leaving the stalk perfectly bare. Fields that promis ed fully 1J to 1$ bales per acre 10 days ago will not now make over one-half bale to the acre. This applies to the late cot- tou—that was made so by the high water last winter, which made it necessary to plant a great deal of it in June—from the middle to the last, iu some iustances. There is considerable cotton here, that the worms may do their worst aud it will make over a bale per acre. But aside from the worms, our crop here would uot have been a full one, m consequence of tlie excessively wet season. I think two-thirds crop would have covered the prospect even Without the worms, and I think a half crop will cover it now, every thing considered. How generally and in wliat scope of the bottoms the worms exist is very difficult to fiud out. The general impression here is that they are couiincd to particular localities; but my opinion is, that when they fully develop them selves they will be found throughout tlie cotton portion of the valley, especially south or, say, Green ville, Miss.; and I have reliable informa tion that they were reported on several plantations above Greenville. * There was a large yield here last year, aud iu consequence there is in cotton every acre that could possibly be planted in cotton, So our future is not so bright from a cot ton standpoint. Could we have had large yield per acre, with the prices ob tained last season, this country would have ofiered greater inducements to young men who desired to make money than any country I kuow anything about. As it is, tho way is not so. pre eminently clear. With all its faults, it is certainly a great country still. Any country is good where a mau cultivates three or four hundred acres of land, without, perhaps, a single dollar to his credit with liis commission merchant in New Orleans, ou the first day of January wiuds up his crop with from three to fi'ur thousand dollars in his favor. This happened iu more than one instance in this immediate neighborhood! aud that, too, after indulging in extrava gances unknown to a Georgia cotton grower. But let me say that we ouly make a good crop every four or five years, such as last year, aud we make au almost total failure about once in five years. I am sorry to see disruption in the Democratic party in my own native Geor gia, and it is especially to be regretted when there is no real cause for it. My sympathies before the meeting of the convention were not so much with Gov. Colquitt as they are now, and I have no doubt as I feel a great rnauy disin terested Georgians feel. Of all Georgia’s noble sons it seems that Mr. Norwood was the only one willing, at a word, to lead iu the race in this move. If it is uot “sat down upon” by the best people of dear old Georgia, at once and forever,It may end more seriously than iu satisfying the ambitious cravings of one or two spotted Democrats, that never allow au opportunity to pass to en courage disruption aud a holt. Ex-Georgian. Colquitt-Norwood and tbe Jail. Blakely, Ga., Sept. 10,1880. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I feel a delicacy iu appropriating your valuable space .to discuss a political ques tion, as every other little orator and news paper-minded man of small calibre has done, hut the fact of the business is our paper dowu here does uot recognize the rights of the Norwoodites or treat them With' proper consideration. Oh this ac count I want to let the people at large know that Early oouuty has a great rnauy intelligent mop who favor Norwood, aud, to Bay .the least, the result of the ballot ing is extremely doubtful. So, when you put down this county for Colquitt, you may throw your hat ou the back of your head, your pedal extremities ou the table, aud feel perfectly sure you’ve got bar down wroue. Night before last, (Wednesday) about three o’clock, some unknown party blew off the locks of the jail with gunpowder aud liberated one white man and two ne groes. A negro inmate also escaped on tbe previous Sunday, through carelessness of the jailer. Nearly three small cheers for Colquitt! Yours truly, Lemons, Consistent were a portion-’of the audience that gathered in* the tomple of just See, to do justice tolioth of two candidates. Of ten have I gathered with thousands of your city’s sons and daughters to do hon or to Colquitt. Then no hisses met his eloquent words of wisdom, cheer and tribute, but each voice echoed back a ^proid people’s response to an honored governor, and when last ‘ we - Beard* hnn paying a soldier’s tribute to his* sleeping-comrades,Tvliat Maconite would uot have quickly silenced the hiss ing voice that dared insult the highest power of the Empire State. Failing to secure the nomination of li'er choice and mine, and prejudiced against the majority’s action, Macon even in part should not for get the dignity of the State and him whom history will honor as one of her illustrious sons. Separated ouly by the. Chattahoo chee from tho field Of contest, I am still far enough removed to view without bias the contending sides and their causes. A native-born, I have watched with eagerness Geoigia’s actions. since the as sembling of tlie Atlanta convention, and when that body adjourned without a nom ination, I felt that a great gulf had been made iu the unity" of our party; and though the end will not affect tlie Democratic supremacy in Georgia we at this particular moment should stand more than ever a solid South, not only upon national issues, but those of State. The supremacy of the Democratic party as dictated by reason should alone govern our political action.), and no State or sec tional breach should divide our ranks. Having viewed without prejudice the ad- miuistration of Colquitt aud his past, I think with the senior editor that he has more claim upon the people of Georgia, and I must agree with the majority and wish that the present executive may again occupy the chair of state. In this I am joined by every Eufauiian with whom I have talked of Georgia politics. Of course our opinion amounts to nothing, and for fear anv one may think thus I will say our cause has often been one, aud this is but a natural interest in our sister State. While I honor Norwood and remember well his grand effort for. the Democracy of Alabama and our city a few years ago, still I must join the great throng in sav ing, “honor Colqu'tt who has honored Georgia and the South as a Christian, sol dier and statesman.” R. H. W. Public Hoads. Twiggs County, Sept. 11,1SS0. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Please allow me space in your paper to Call the attentiou of the Bibb county road commissioners to the old road to Jeffer sonville by O. W. Massey’s cotton gin fac tory, laid out by the General Assembly in 1816. About three miles of it, from Cross Keys, is iu Bibb county, and 1 believe has never, been worked since—at any rate it is verjr bad. Near 2,000 bales of cotton come to Ma con yearly over this road, from the north ern and eastern part of Twiggs county, and some from the northern part of Wil kinson county, but unless the road is fixed, farmers there will have to haul their cotton to Griswoldville and Gordon. Very respectfully, H. R. Brown. Speaking of the “Solid South,” the New York Herald, pleased at its solidity, and congratulating the New York mer chants-on the fact, says: “It would not be extravagant to say that their people are on the whole more prosperous than those ia most parts of the North. Undoubtedly the conditions of living are easier in the South than in the North. But the change for the better in the last four years is very remarkable. Everywhere we read of new industries starting into life; manufactures of various kinds are rapidly increasing and give em ployment to increasing numbers of the poor whites, to whom factory life is a dis tinct advauce iu the scale of prosperity. The business of market gardening for Northern consumption has been found so profitable that vegetable aud small fruit gardens aud orchards are found in all the States from Virginia to Louisiana. It is absurd to charge that a region thus health fully prosperous is lawless or idle. The South produced last year the largest cot ton crop in its history, and this year's crop will be even greater. But, over and above the cotton, it is producing a multi tude of other things which were totally unknown in the South before the war.” NO ONE KNOWS How we Make our Medicine or how we Prepare It.

Migrating Potato Bugs.—A curious sight, says the New York Sun, in the counties of Passaic and Bergen, in New Jersey, is the migration of the potato bug. Meadows, wagou roads, and rail roads swarm with these pests, all moving westward. In some places they are so thick upon the rails of the railroad as to impede travel on an up grade. Where obstacles are met they turn out of their way. Great numbers are destroyed by the feet of travelers and the wheels of moving trains, but the gaps thus made are sooni filled. Ou the coming of cold weather they immediately go into the ground. A lady in Hackensack avers that she swept up a peck at one time in her front hall.

A special dispatch to the TForW from Denver, Colorado, the 8th instant, says a well-known and reliable raining superin tendent, just in from Gunnison, confirms the rumors of the last few days of a won derful discovery of native gold on the hanks of the Cachetopa creek, eigh teen miles southwest of Gunnison City. Many lodes, apparently true fissures, from three to twenty feet wide, crop out at a stretch over a belt twenty miles long and'five in width of low, timberless moun tains. Masses of quartz daily brought into Gunnison City sparkle with native gold. Ofhundreds’of assays made in the last few days none run lower than $100 in gold to the ton, while numerous speci mens from Lubricator, Maple Leaf and other claims assay $2,000 to $20,000 per ton. One of the most exciting stampedes on record is taking place from Gunnison camps and neighboring districts to the Cachetopa mines, 4,000 people going in the first forty-eight boms after the dis covery was made "known.
