Campaign Note*.
A Fiuend of the Colored Man.
Madisonian: Gov. Colquitt, and every
man who is supporting him. Is in favor of
riving the negro every right which the law
and constitution guarantee. We, as Ins
friend, have ever advocated hisqjaimto
education, the purchase and possession of
property and every other right to which
he is entitled. Governor Colquitt never
In his life uttered a word against the blade
jnan, lying newspaper correspondents and
unscrupulous qditors to the contrary not-
withstanding.
An Independent on the Stand.—
An independent in the Seventh District,
refusing to have Norwood crammed down
his throat, makes to the Free Press this
telling point: “Althongh there are grave
charges against some of Colquitt’s officials
no one has made good any charge that
Colquitt was in league and a recipient of
any such corrupt practices. All the offi
cials found guilty were first appointed to
office under Gov. Smith’s administration.
Gov. Colquitt cannot in justice be cen
sured for retaining them in office. On
Smith’s head must fall the licks, if upon
anyone.” -
Tiib Biooest Yet, but No Go.—
Constitution: The charge preferred
against Governor Colquitt by Col. Ben.
C. Yancey was the most serious and cir
cumstantial of any that has yet been
made by the Norwood party. Compared
to It all the rest are whimsical and flimsy.
We mention these things so that the voters
of the State may see how baseless the
slanders are. Col. Yancey's charge was
promptly and conclusively refuted, and he
was manly enough to acknowledge it.
Vote foe D. N. Speer.—Free Press:
Don’t forget to vote for Speer for treasurer;
ho is the regular nominee. Mr. Renfroe,
the gentleman who pocketed the $20,000
belonging to the State, is opposing him.
We hope Kenfroe will not receive a sin
gle vote in Brooks county.
CLARKE FOR COLQUITT.—AtllCUS Ran-
ner: The Colquitt club of white men
numbers lour hundred and fifty, and the
most of these are in Athens. When you
add to fully half of the white vote, or a
little more, nearly all of the colored vote,
you can make your own estimate as to
how Norwood is going to carry Clarke
“by a handsome majority.” Things.will
have to change very much, or Colquitt
will carry Clarke.
A Brigadier, ButStill-a Failure.
—Columbus Times: They say Colquitt
is a failure because he only got tor be a
brigadier general. How about Norwood
who started a private and never got to be
anything else ? It is the brigadier general
of whom our Yankee friends mostly
plain.
Indignant Questions.—“Wilkin
son,” in the Columbus Times: I will not
believe that the people of Georgia arc
such a generation of innocents, as to have
honored and elevated Alfied H. Colquitt
to her chief official seats for .the last quar
ter of a century, he, the meantime, beiii?
such an “iubedle” and “incompetent”
man, as the Norwood oracles represent
him to be. IIow came it that he vtas sent
to Congress? By what miracle did he
sustain himself there as a most respecta
ble representative? How came be to a
generalship in the Confederate army? By
what hocus-pocus did he obtain the confi
dence of bis superior officers, and the
men he commanded, and the plaudits of
the whole country? now came it to
pass that he was elevated to the chief
magistracy by 80,000 majority, and was
so popular nutil this outburst of factious
opposition?
Hon. Thomas Norwood.—Americas The New York Democratic Conven- poorliouse until there U no longer room
Ought to Have Secured Letters
Patent.—Early County New*: The
Norwood literary committee committed a
great oversight in not taking out letteis
patent on tlieir catechism. They might
have made much money out of it to aid
in paying the expenses of the campaign.
It is just such a document as the Radicals
of the North value very highly, and they
would have been willing to have paid
handsomely for it. But the short-sighted
Norwood men neglected their opportunity,
and the Radical papers of the North are
now using the catechism against the
Democratic party to defeat Hancock and
Eugiish. The people of Georgia will be
certain to bold these fellows accountable
for furnishing campaign thunder to the
Radicals.
Will Profit by Past Experience.
—Oglethorpe Echo: Wo believe that
Governor Colquitt has profited by past ex
perience, aad when re-elected will make
a ruler of whom Georgia may be proud.
Never had a Governor such obstacles to
overcome as he, but he steps forth from
the ordeal with an untarnished name and
shows a record as brilliant as the sun of
day.
The Difference.—Times: HonWm.
P. Price, of Dahlonega, gave the money
he received on the back salary grab to the
North Georgia College. Mr. Norwood
pocketed his, and says he would do it
again if he had it to do over.
All Could not be Saved.—Toccoa
New*: The big misfortune with Govern
or Colquitt is that he has not been able to
supply all his friends who desired it with
an office—this is the source of the larger
part of the opposition to him, however
much the fact may be disguised.
Amen!—Monroe Advertiser: We arc
in a large majority, as - will be demon
strated at the polls in October. Like a
solid phalanx of brave soldiers on the
field of battle, we receive the attacks of
the enemy unmoved. When the time
comes for action, in solid colnmns we will
come to the polls and our victory will be
complete. But we hope to hear no fierce
huzzas over vanquished brethren of the
same political household. Let us meet as
friends after the clouds have drifted away
and the sunshine of political peace is once
more cheering us.
Is Lawton a Criminal?— Constitu
tion: The Norwood organs assert that
Governor Colquitt was guilty of s crime
when he paid what is called the Alston
fee. General Lawton—a Norwood man—
had a slice of that fee; is he also a crim
inal ? Surely there must have been collu
sion somewhere.
How is This?—Rome Courier: It is-
charged against Gov. Colqnitt that he has
received and owes money that be has not
paid; but there is no proof of his voting
himself the people’s money under the
name of “back salary.”
Sacrificed Chronicle and CbnstUu-
tionalist: Mr. Norwood has been fear
fully sacrificed by his friends. Their ar
dor for him might have been commenda
ble and salutary, bad not tlieir venom
for his opponent been retroactive and an
nihilating.
Colquitt County Solid.—Thomas
ville Times: We learn front a citizen of
Colquitt county, one who is well posted,
that the party is solid for Colqnitt and
Denmark. The Colquitt Democrats are
as true as the needle to the pole. We
have never known them to flinch. Stand
up to the rack, boys, fodder or no fodder.
Tired, but Sticks to It.—The Haw-
kinsvllle Dispatch says: “The schoolboys
never wished more for vacation day, and a
negro never sighed more for the Christinas
holidays, than we do for the setting of the
sun on the Otli of October, when this ever
lasting fuss about Governor will cease.
But still wc say hurrah for Alf!”
Gen. Lawton for the Senate.—
Thomas ville Times: Gen. Lawton is do
ing his best to defeat Gov. Colquitt. This
* will not help his chance for United States
Senator, any to speak of. Quite the con
trary.
Thomas Warren Aiken.—Madison
ian : When did ever Thomas Warren
Aiken, Hancock and English elector, de
nounce the “Convict Catechism ?” But
he sees a great tempest in a tea pot when
he reads the Colqnitt circular. His po
litical bias shows itself too plainly to be
mistaken by any man outside the Asy-
■— He is very sensitive when Nor-
lum.
Recorder: Tills gentleman wlfTaddress
our people to-morrow. He was a good
man when he held The commission of Sen
ator in the national councils from our Em
pire State. He is a good mau to-day.
One can be wrong aud yet honest.
This is our opinion of' Mr. Norwood,
and we'trust'that all who can, will com
pliment his presence W our midst with
large, respectable hearing.
Colored Mass Meeting.—Griffin
Fetes: A political mass meeting was
held at the City nail yesterday by col
ored people, and a3 we are informed,
though we do not give it authoritatively,
in the interest of Norwood. There were
about three hundred colored voters pres
ent. Several speeches were made, after
which the meeting, by a large vote, en
dorsed Garfield and Arthur, and favored
the candidacy of Gov. Colqnitt.
No Moke .Sugar.—Eatonton Messen
ger: Two or three weeks ago the Nor
wood papers in the State were offering
sugar to the colored voters. Now, since
it has become a well settled fact that the
colored men will support Colquitt, these
same papers are abusing ‘the poor nigger.’
That is what we should call a decided
“flop-over.”
Tit for tat.—Determined not to be
outdone in the matter of counting, the
Augusta Evening News states that the
Norwood Central Committee have returns
from one hundred and twenty-three coum
tics, out of the one hundred aud thirty-
eight in the Slate, and Senator Norwood’s
majority foots up twenty-one thousand
five hundred and seventy-three.
Well, there is nothing like whistling to
keep one’s courage up. We are only
surprised that the Norwood majority was
not put down at 79,009. The counters
certainly had the “blues” or they would
have done better for the minority candi
date.
What They Swallow. — Griffin
News: Some supporters of Mr. Nor
wood, whom we esteem very highly, com
plain at the unfairness of what they are
pleased to term Colquitt papers. It is no
ticeable, however, that they swallow
without choking the most ridiculous
charges against Governor Colquitt.
A Voice from a Colored Source.—
Cuthbcrt Journal of Progress: It Is cer
tainly true that little words of kindness,
little deeds of love are irresistible, even in
politics, and it cannot be doubted that
when you consider the two personages
apart from tlieir following and apart from
what Is best for us as a party, Norwood’s
past record either assumes huge, uncouth
and inhuman proportions or dwindles
into meau insignificance, while Colquitt’s
record, so far as his treatment of the col
ored man is concerned, presents a picture
fair to look upon.
In vain we speak to the colored people
about this beiug the best opportunity to
split the Democratic party, and that this
idea is sanctioned by many of the wisest
Republican leaders in our party. Col-
qniu's kindness to them has certainly
won them. It is said that he js squarer
on the school question than Norwood,
and that lie did not try, like Governor
Smitb, to take the $8,000 from the Atlan
ta university. A little kindness from a.
Democrat is a dangerous thing; it upsets
the calculations of politicians, and over
throws the philosophic conclusions of
statesmen. Colquitt has faults, grievous
faults, but his kindness covers a multi
tude of sins.
Norwood is no politician; be is a plain,
blunt, sarcastic man. We do not admire
him, nor ins ability, and woHld certainly
scorn to support him, if we could not fur
ther the ends of free speech and a free
ballot. Ignoring this consideration, we
should certainly vote for Alfred H. Col
quitt, who, we sincerely believe, will indi
vidually do all that lie can to protect and
elevate the colored man, yet we are sorry
that the party did not take our view of it
and split the Democratic party by voting
against the majority.
But froth it all we will certainly derive
this consolation, that he who dare3 to go
around aud make it his business to belittle
colored myn, can never expect to receive
their suffrage, let his repentance be as
thorough and lasting as that of Saul of
Tarsus.
How the Press Stands.—DeKalb
New*: The press is commonly supposed
to reflect popular opinion to a great ex
tent. If this lie true the Norwood party
has, comparatively, a small hacking of
popular favor. The Columbus Enquirer
is the only morning'daily in the State
which has championed that side of the
controversy. Of the evening dailies on
that side, none, we believe, have been es
tablished as long as three years—several
of them less than two. The weeklies of
the Norwood persuasion are, with few ex
ceptions, of the regularly independent
stripe, and the bitterest aad most con
spicuous of them only recently establish
ed. This we take as a strong indication
that the majority of the conservatism and
sonnd judgment of the country are for
Colquitt.
Gen. Lawtoi^in Augusta.—Chroni
cle and Constitutionalist: The speech of
Gen. Lawton, at Market Hall last eve
ning, was a very fair and forcible presen
tation oi his views upon political matters.
The distinguished speaker was greeted by
an audience comporting with his reputa
tion as an orator, and his character as a
man—representatives of both sides ol the
gubernatorial campaign turning out to
listen to the gifted Georgian. His address
was well received, but nothing in it so
completely captured the crowd as his
mention of his own candidaty for the
United States. Gen. Lawton is deserved
ly popular through this section, and the
ringing and renewed applause following
this announcement was confined to nei
ther wing of the party. General Lawton
gracefully and gratefully bowed his ac
knowledgments, and must have recog
nized that the statement of his own claims
to the high office for which he has been
named, created more enthusiasm than the
mention of Mr. Norwood’s name elicited,
or than the criticism of Gov. Colquitt’s
record provoked.
Bbixo on Another Horse.—Eaton
ton Messenger: 'Norwood and Lawton
liave both tried their hands at strengthen
ing the Norwood boom, so-called, In Put
nam county, but it is still too weak to
stand alone. Would it not be well for
the brethren to put the babe on a diet of
strong beef tea ?
All for Nothing.—Chronicle and
Constitutionalist: Shivered into frag
ments fails the last slander hurled at
Governot Colquitt’s bead. And for every
fragment scattered there, scores of ballots
will fall in showery plaudits on election
day.
Politics in Petticoats. — Eatonton
Messenger. Colqnitt-Norwood.discussions
among the pupils of the female academy
are said to be quite frequent and some
times exciting.
More Fruit of the Gubernato
rial Split.—A correspondent of the
Constitution writes as follows from Cuth-
bert;
It is curtcntly reported that Bill Tnm-
lin will, to-morrow, announce himseli as
an independent candidate for the Legisla
ture from Randolph. He comes out in
opposition to R. D. Crozier, the regular
nominee. The latter is known to lie in
favor of Governor Colquitt and Senator
Brown, while Captain Ttiralin is strong
and violent in'opposition to both of these
gentlemen. The people in Randolph de
sire peace and harmony, and will not per
mit the county disrupted by Captain Tum-
lin or anybody else. Captain Tumlin is
a popular Norwood speaker. It is report
ed that he said hehad received nine thous
and invitations to speak in different parts
of the State. lie was billed to speak at
Blakeley on Friday last, but found Dr. L.
W. West there, ami a3 he (West) knew
too much of Captain T.’s record, the lat
ter failed to speak. This is Dr. West’s
version of the matter.
Mr. Norwood speaks- here to-morrow;
Hon. R. E. Lester and Dr. D. Butler on
Tuesday. Randolph will give Governor
Colquitt five hundred majority.
R. R. Wright, editor of Journal of
Progress, will speak in Calhoun couuty
in favor of Governor Colquitt on Wednes
day, and in Cuthbert on Saturday next.

the town hall at 1:15 tins afternoon. It - j don , t get bome in time to put this cod- „ . ,
was called to. order by Mr. Faulkner,
chairman of the State committee, who, af
ter referring to the union and harmony in
the party, said the State committee had se
lected Rufus W. Peckliam as president of
the convention. The selection was agreed
to with cheers. Mr. Peckliam was es
corted to the chair by John Kelly aud Mr.
Hill, of Chemung, and in a brief address
congratulated the party upon its presence
here as the re-united Democracy of the
State. [Applause.] He stated that their
business here was, first, to nominate a
chief justice of the Court of Appeals,
and, second, to notify their brethren in
other States that New York would doits
duty in the coming contest, and secure
the election of the Democratic ticket for
President and Vice-President. [Ap
plause.]
He then proceeded to consider the
question of the “solid Sontli,” which, he
said was simply a protest against Republi
can misrule. In this connection he criti
cised the reconstruction ads as the policy
of the Republican party; denouncing
them as unconstitutional*and infamous,
He especially charged that the purpose
of the reconstruction acts, as well as their
effect, was to overawe the people of the
South in support of the carpet-bagg<
and to serve political aims alone, lie
nied that the Republican party is entitled
to any credit for the national prosperity
which they offer as a reason why there
should oe no change of administration
This prosperity catne hot through the
principles and practices of that party but
in spite of them. It was the beneficence of
nature—the genial sun and prolific soil—
which have brought prosperity, and not
the party now in power. The Democrat
ic party was now in the field to secure flee
speech and a free press all over the coun
try. [Applause.] He predicted a popu
lar majority in New York of 30,000 at
least in the November election, and thir
ty-five votes In the electoral college for
Hancock and English.
The roll was then called, and a list of
vice presidents and secretaries adopted,
and the temporary organization made per
manent. On motion of Mr. Faulkner,
chairman of the State committee, the fol
lowing Tammany delegates were unaui
inously added to that committee: Augus
tus Schell, John Kelly and Edward Kear
ney, of New York city; Erastns Coming,
of Albany, and Wm. Purcell, of Roches
ter.
John Kelly being called upon to address
tli* convention, came to the platform, and
was received with cheers. He said he
thought he coaid now congratulate the
party on the certainty of carrying thp
coming presidential election. He was
originally of the opinion of the State com
mittee that it wa3 not necessary to call a
State convention to nominate a single ju
dicial officer, and thus subject delegates
to loss of time and expense; but taking
into consideration the fact that the dele-
jates ol the party and their friends are
nought together here in entire harmony,
ait losses and expenses are recompensed,
wood is attacked, but as meek as a Iamb
wlienNorwood’s friends are deluging the
State with convict catechisms which are
by far more injurious to oar people at the
North than the Colquitt circular. Such
disinterested solicitnde as characterizes
this young elector’s card, we would not
give the flip of the finger for. Let him
take the beam oat of his own eye and _ _ _ .
then he can tee the mote in others. But owl-trains, should all certainly have a to see grass growing in the streets of our
Theatre-goers, club-vi
then spoke of the nomination of
Gen. Hancock, and extolled his services
to the country. If he had filled the posi
tion of Gen. Grant, he would have proved
his equal as a soldier. He was a states
man as well. He reviewed Hancock’s ser
vices briefly, aud claimed that he had
proved himself equal to any task im
posed on him. His services in Louisiana
were such as to command the approbation
of the entire people. His letter to the
Governor of Texas was such that no bet
ter could be writtep by any statesman in
the country. Such also was the case
with his letter to Gen. Sherman, and his
recent letter relative to rebel claims,
placed him high in the opinion of the peo
ple.
A reference to Ben Hill, of Georgia,
was received with applause. That gen
tleman, he said, at the late meeting in
New York, had declared that before the
war he was in favor of slavery, but now
if he had a thousand lives he would lay
them all down to prevent Us restoration.
[Applause.] He cited this and other sen
timents or a like nature to show that the
South accepts the results of the war. Offi
cial reports showed that the education of
the poor negroes.at the South wa3 going
on, and that in Georgia alone there are
seventy thousand colored people in the
schools. [Applause.] The colored peo
ple in that State pay taxes on two million
dollars of property they own. This
showed that the reports of the ill treat
ment of that class are unfounded. There
is large increase in the business of that
section, proving to the people there that
slavery was a curse, aud they now under
stood it.
In South and North Carolina, in fact
in all the Southern States, all the-people
need is the confidence of the North, but
the Republican party desires to keep up sec
tional feeling—to keep alive the passions
engendered by the war. As the men of
the Soutli have confessed their error, and
ask forgiveness, it is our duty to accept
tlieir penitence and generously forgive.
[Applause.] As soon as the Republican
party allowed the Southern-people to take
care of their own affairs, prosperity re
turned to that section, and in this year
they will add $600,000,000 to the wealth of
the countiy. The negroes now trust tlieir
former masters. If they can do this, is it
not our duty also to give them our confi
dence ? [Applause.]
Congratulatory speeches upon the har
mony now existing in the Democratic
iariy in New York were then made by
dim Fox, of New York city, Amasa
. Parker, of Albany, Mr. Beebe, of Sul
livan, and others.
Mr. Dorsheimer, from the committee on
resolutions, reported the following:
Resolved, That the Democrats of New
York hereby pledge the thirty-Gve electo
ral votes of this State to W. S. Hancock
for President, and W. H. Eugiish for
Vice President of the United
States, and we hereby express
onr confidence that the next Federal ad
ministration will be conducted by- consti
tutional methods; that the right of local
self-government in the States will l>e re
spected; that industry will be relieved
from the weight of uuequal taxation; that
American commerce will again be carried
forward under the American flag, and that
the union of these States will once more
find its perfect and sure defence in the af
fection of all the people.
Resolved, That the Democrats of New
York congratulate their brethren in other
States upon the good prospect which now
exists of success throughout ilie whole
countiy, and wo think ourselves justified
in claiming that the result in part is due
to the manner in which we have main
tained and applied Democratic principles
and methods of administration in our
own State.
These resolutions were adopted. Tho
convention then proceeded to nominate a
chief justice of the Court of Appeals.
There was some discussion as to whether
candidate should be chosen from the
present justices of the Court oi Appeals
icnch, thus leaving a vacancy there which
would be filled by Gov. Cornell with a
Republican, or whether some outside
Democratic judge should be nominated,
with a view to gaining a Democratic ma
jority in the court. As Mr. Ecclcslnc, who
advocated the latter course, expressed it,
“ If we are going to have 8 to 7, for God’s
sake let us have the 8 on onr side.”
Mr. Peckham, chairman of the commit
tee, rebuked as shocking Mr. Ecclesiue’s
proposition to pack the count for partisan
purposes, and said it would be a disgrace
lo.the party. After some further, discus
sion the roll was called for votes, and
Charles W. Rapello, ofNew York, one of.
the present justices of the Appeals bench,
had the largest vote—a . majority oti tho
first ballot. The nomination w f as then
made unanimous, and the convention ad
journed.
The other night, soon after , a Garfield
meeting had opened, one of the electors
began edging for the door.' He was soon
stopped by a friend; who said: “Don’t
leave us now.” “I’ve got to edge along
towards home,” was the reply. “Home!
Great heavens how can you talk of going
visitors, late supper- home until he lias finished that speech;
F the horse railroad There he goes again! Heasks ifyou want
fish to soak for breakfast.” “Great guus!
hut do you prefer codfish to liberty?” ex
claimed the other ? “I don’t know as I do,
but 1 get more of it.” “And you will see
this country ruined—see her go to distrac
tion.” “I’d be kinder sorry to sea her go
down hill,” slowly observed the delin
quent as he reached the door, “but if you
had a wife who could begin scolding at
10 o’clock and then not lose a minute un-
till daylight, and then end up with a grand
smash of crockery and a fit of hysterics,
you’d kinder stand off as I do and let this
glorious old repnblic squeeze through
some mighty fine knot-holes.”
The Tables Tuned.
A week or so ago a mangy little one-eyed
nigger with a sore leg came to Lexington
aud engaged Will Howard to take a horse
cate for liim, stating that Mr. Joe Burton
had astoedtowhichlie thought he was
entitled. From the darky’s veision How
ard thought it was a pretty good case, and
so he told his man to expect him the fol
lowing Saturday. The Court was to con
vene at Potts’ Branch, about eight miles
distant from Lexington.
On the auspicious morn our friend
Howard found himself devoid of a con
veyance to the field of combat, and the
only locomotion he could get for love or
money was a stump-sucking mule, about
as big as a jack-rabbit, that had to be
wound up by the tail. With a few inter
ruptions Howard succeeded in making
connection. Joe Burton spied him com
ing up the road, partially concealed be
hind his steed’s ears, andset up a shout
that would have done credit to a whole tribe
ofComanches. He was followed by the
crowd,
His muleship, not anticipating such an
enthusiastic reception, came to a dead
halt and refused to budge an inch
“Get yonr one-eyed nigger to tote him
in,” yelled Joe.
Howard grew red in the face and began
to vigorously spur the animal in the sides
with his heels. This the mule resented
by tying its back in a bow-knot, thus inti
mating that a certain uradhele would be
temporarily filled up.
“Turn him’round and hack in,” was
Mr. Burton’s next suggestion.”
But the mule refused to either turn or
back, but intimated that it would navigate
sideways into the bushes.
“Say, ’Squire; did that friend you are
now riding and you graduate at the same
time in law ?” tantalized Joe.
By this time the four feet of the mule
could have stood in a dinner (date, while
Howard was perched on the pinnacle of
its back.
Joe again: “Just look boys! Did you
oversee a young lawyer rise so fast?”
Howard stood the first hoist by diriging
to his mule’s neck aud turning loose the
ruins.
“Wliere is that one-eyed nigger?.” yelled
Joe. “The case had as well be given up,
for his lawyer will never bo able to get to
court.” ,
But Howard’s blood was np and he
would have got there or perished iif the
attempt. He sidled the mule out into the
bushes, hitched it to a limb and walked
into court, determined to defeat Joe Bur
ton.
He made the grandest effort of his life,
and to the surprise of every one the court
decided that Howard’s one-eyed nigger was
entitled to the horse.
Now Burton had driven the disputed
steed to the court-ground, hitched to anew
buggy, and as soon as the session was
over began to harness it up.
Here the laugh comes in.
At this instant Howard steps up with:
•-Excuse me, Mr. Burton, but this is
my client’s horse; so I’ll take possession of
it now to ride home, as my mule is a little
unmanageable.” *
But I’ve appealed the case,” gasped
Joe, amazed at the turn of aflairs.
“But the horse is ours till the case is
decided,” was the calm reply.
“But how am I to get home ?”
“Tou are quite welcome to my mule.’
“And my lawyer?”
“He can ride behind you.”
“Look here,” says Burton, “I give up
whipped. Remember it’s my treat the
next time I come to town.”
On a new trial our friend;; regained his
horse, but he ha3 learned a lesson about
mule-mounted lawyers.
Tho People's Catechism.
There are a few questions that many
voters not committed to Colquitt or Nor
wood, would like to have Gen. Gordon,
Gov. Colquitt and Gov. Brown answer.
They are respectfully propounded in the
interest of truth.
1. How long befoie Gordon’s resigna
tion did Colquitt know of his intention to
resign ?
2. How long before Gordon resigned
did Colquitt make up his mind to appoint
Brown?
3. Was Colquitt’s determination to ap
point Brown, in the event of Gordon’s
resignation, known to disinterested par
ties, and, if yes, who were those parties?
4. How long before Gordon actually
tcndci^d his resiguation did he know that
Brown would be his successor?
5. If Colquitt had appointed another
persou instead of Drown to the vacant
fc’enatorsliip, would Gordon have been ap
pointed to his present lucrative position?
6. Did not Gordon’s $14,000 salary de
pend upon, and was it not secured by, the
appointment of Brown?
7. Did Brown know befJro Gordon re
signed that Victoi Newcomb would give
Gordon this place ? ,
8. Did Colquitt know this when Gor
don resigned ?
0. Did not Brown first suggest this to
Newcomb, and did not Newcomb make
the appointment in pursuance of "an un
derstanding between himself and Gov.
Brown ?
10. Was Gordon' selected as general
counsel on account of his attainments as a
lawyer, on account of hi3 unusual knowl-
edge of the laws governing common car
riers, or was it because of the influence he
at that time had over the people of Geor
gia?
11. What service has Gordon rendered
to the Louisville aud Nashville railroad
as a lawyer, or otherwise, since his resig
nation; before what court has he appeared
and in what case or cases?
According to his own statement he was
compelled to resign just when he did or
be would have lost the place. It is fair
to presume that bis duties, as counsel,
therefore, began at once.
12. Did not Gordon prevail upon Cyrus
W. Field to lend Henry W. Grady $20,-
000; aud did not Grady invest that $20,000
in tho Atlanta ConstitutionP If yes,
what was the inducement to that loan?
13. Was not Colqnitt indebted to Brown
87,000, or other large - sums, at the time
Brown was appointed Senator ?
Satisfactory answers to these questions
will bo worth ten thousand votes to Col

Rome, Sept. 20.—In resigning their
seats in the Italian Chamber of Deputies,
Gen. Garibaldi and his son Menotti, state
that they are unable to remain as depu
ties in a country whero liberty is trodden

completely pacified. Ayoob Khan’s victo
ry gave a great impulse to fanaticism,

fresh rising, and urging that the defeat of
Ayoob Khan by General Roberts was ow
ing to the reliance the Afghan leader
placed on his regulars and their desertion
at the critical moment.”

tion of a State workingmen’s assurance
and mutual assistance 'society, to which
laborers and employers will he bound to
contribute. The system will be first tried
in Prussia.
London, September-20.—A correspon
dent of tho Times at Gravosa telegraphs
as follows: “The feeling among many of
the representatives of the powers here is
that the Prince of Montenegro contribu
ted much to the awkward position of Eu
rope iu the present situation of Eastern
aflairs, by not knowing his own mind
when protesting his readiness 'to occupy
Dulcigno, and by being induced to alter it
on receipt of Riza Pasha’s message. Rear
Admiral Fincati, of the Italian fleet, has
been nearly drowned here through the
upsettiug of his gig.”
Constantinople, Sept. 20.—The Em
peror of Germany, replying to an appeal

France.”

dom is again prominently discussed there.
A dispatch from Rome to the Daily
Neivs, in reference to tho resignation of

pronounced by a tribunal at Genoa against
Ivis son-in-law, Major Cansero, for partici
pating iu some revolutionary demonstra
tions.

spondent of the Times telegraphed last
night as follows: “The instructions to
the French Admiral not to fire a shot In
the event of a bombardment of Dulcigno,
have not been plainly avowed until this
evening. They are justified on the
ground that the constitution debars the
President from declaring war without the
assent of tho Chambers. This, evidently
an Ifterthought, was adopted, in defer
ence to the lately manifested repugnance
of the publie to French intervention in
the Eastern question.”
The Times, in its leading editorial,
says: “If France draws back from giving
reality to the demonstration, the concert
of the powers is for the present at an end.
The ridicule of having sailed to Gravosa
for the purpose of sailing back again,
will attach fix tb e first instance to France,
but the other powers must take their
share of it. They have been misled by
France, and have thus been induced to
commit themselves to a game of brag,
which has not succeeded and could not
have been expected to succeed. Even a
weaker power than Turkey might safely
venture to snap her fingers at a demon
stration which is to bark, but on no ac
count to bite.”
London, September 29.—A dispatch to
Reuter's Telegram Company from Berlin,
in reference to reporta of the abandon
ment of the naval demonstration, says:
“It is declared in weil'infonned circles
that no such intelligence has reached
here. The Incident of the Sultau’s ad
dressing an appeal to Emperor William
occurred last week, and therefore before
the Dulcigno question reached its present
crisis. Germany, in conjunction with all
the powers, adheres to the protest against
Riza Pasha.”
