Contracts with women are known to bo
binding, but that a contract mad t on bun

eral, should become toll J aud blading
u between .male aud female is indeed
startling.
And yet tbe Supreme Court of reuusyi-
vania bu so decided. A gay and festive
widower iu the Keystouo Statu went
.parking Sunday night, and under a prom
ise of marriage lipped the nectar of t pair
of willing roao-bud lip,, fondly relying
tho lact that a Sunday promlae amounted
to nothing. Thia bo repeated time and

The first Democratic national conven

It may Vj asked “hovr can Mr. {Stephens
be elected in the face of this apparent
dtuger, and how c&u his election further
tbe ends held iu view by these men?’
The auswer is easy. The question,brought
Mr. Saunders moved to lay on the tabl<
the two-thirds rule adepted Id 1632, which
motion prevailed by a vote ot 146 to 118.
The convention of 1848 in Baltimore and
the convention ot 1852 in the same city
adopted it by a large majority, and since
then it hu prevailed in all national con

The reason it wu adopted waa to

nicely, u David wu armed w ith stones
and sling to meet the gigantic U-liath of
Gath. It Is true that tho question or
slavery wu a dominant one iu tho tiinea

that a minority shall not have the power

sion u to tha present gubernatorial cam

to further certain ends, whose outlines

Tbe election of Stephens means disor
ganization. It means the silencing of all
opposition to Iudcpondentlsm; It means
tho overthrow of pure Democracy. Any
man who reflects a moment must per
ceive it. Who Is there that could rise up be

trict, State and county conventions, under
the manipulations of ring masters, is gen
erally to defeat rather than carry out the
will of the people, aud from this evil
has sprang very naturally throughout the
country a growing disposition to do
away with thin mode of selecting candi
dates. Another point in ooqelnsion I wish
to be distinctly understood upon. .From
the tone of thai class of paper* to which I
have referred, it would seem that I am to
be considered hereafter as having aban
doned the Democratic party aud plaood
myself iu antagonism to its organists-
tionby the tologram referred to, etc.
If the que»tion of my political princi
ples or affiliation therefore is raised in that
convention, I plead to its jurisdiction. If
lam not a Democrat of the straighteat
sect in Georgia, then who ia? You, my
dear sir, know the material and stuff of
wkioh my Democracy is made; you know
well w’io, io one of our darkest hours in
1870, framed that Platform of principle#
which maintained the integrity and equal
ity of the several Btates and-rallied tho
people of Georgia to a rescue of their con
stitution and rights in the (memora
ble campaign and election of that year.
You know that yon were one of them and
I was another. In tbo event therefore that
this convention shall repudiate me as au un
fit representative of Democratic principles
and shall attempt to rule me out of the
Democratic party because of that telegram,
or anything also connected with my recent
public acts, then 1 say to yon aud to them
plainly ana distinctly that I lhall regard

and whether I or they are sound in the
faith of tbe fathers shall bo left with the
true Domocrary of ttie district to settle at
the polls in that contest.” I stated on
all proper occasions that I would not

Mr. Stephens, iu reply to the Constitv-
lion reporter’s question if he had anything
to say for publication, replied:
“I will, if you will report exactly what I
My and submit it to me before sending, so
that there may be uo mistake about It. Ia
one of your reports which was not submit

of the application of my remarks to one
telegram in*trod of another caused me
some annoyance, aa it, taktn in connection
with other statemeui* by me, involved iu-
consistencies and contradictions. The tel
egram which I so unqualifiedly denounced
was not Mr. Speer's, which he told me he
wna going to send, and which he did send,
but Tt was the telegram from Atlanta to
the Chicago Tribune ot tho 15th of May,
staling in substance that I had oonseuUxLto
aooept the nomination of the Independents
and coalitioni-vu;; that was tho telegram
which I aaid I had never given authority
to Mr. Speer or euyb-udy else to send. On
tbe contrary, 1 have uuitormly said 1 would
not accept the nomination of any party
except the Democratic, with which alone I
was particularly associated.”
