Qqnykbs, July 26.—The reunion of the
Thirty-fifth Georgia regiment here yester-
dzy was a grand success. The larger por
tion of the survivors of the regiment were
present, and at least one thousand of our
citizens were on the grounds, with well
loaded baskets containing ti e richest
viands, and open hearts aud hands to greet
them.
The address of welcome by Major J. C.
Barton and the response by Col. Latham,
of Kairburn, Ga., were rich and racy and
well enjoyed by all, as well as the address
of Col. A. C. Perry, G. W. Gleaton and
others. The reunion was closed by an
exhortation from Rev. George W. Yar-
brjugh, the chaplain of the regiment, to
his old comrades. He stated that he felt
more like he was at an old-fashioned
campmeeting than anything else, and
that it was one of the most enjoyable occa-
aions of his life. He impiessed his old
comrades with the necessity and impor
tance of being ready for the grand and
■final reunion in the life to come. His
speech deserves special mention as one of
the best of the occasion.
Col. T. W. Latham, of Fairburn, was re
elected president of the association, and
C»pt. E. M. Roberts, of Atlanta, secretary.
"The next reunion of this regiment will be
held in Lawrenceville, on the 22d of July,
1879, with the Forty-Second Georgia regi
ment.
The Conyers Volunteers were ou 1 in full
uniform, and added much to the enjoyment
«f the occasion. Altogether the day was
one long to be remembered by all present.

log of delegates from Jefferson, Glasscock
and Richmond, ill of whom were seated, the
Chronicle was denounced for attempting to
dictate to the convention in its editorial
warning delegates that the nomination would
Dot be binding.
Delegate Sullivan indignantly denied the
Chronicle’s right to dictate, or even speak as
a Democratic organ since its recent course.
He claimed that the convention was sover
eign and regular, and if the Chronicle re
fused its support, it would fail to advocate
organized Democracy.
Delegate Hunter nlso denounced the
Chronicle’s attempted dictation as out
rageous.
EDITOR STOVALL EXPLAINS.
So lively was the indignation that Editor
Stovall, of the Chronicle, asked and was
given the privilege of the floor, and he ex
plained that the editorial was written by one
of the staff as counsel rather than dictation,
Messrs. Hunter and Sullivan acquitted Mr.
Stovall and said their remarks did not.refer
to him. Mr. Hunter said the Chronicle must
have been ruling with a high hand here to
attempt tiqiiictate to a convention represent-
' g the Democracy of three counties.
The convention was jiermanen ly organ
ized by electing O. U. Lassiter, of Glascock,
chairman, and T. F. Caulk secretary.
P. J. Sullivan then placed Hon. T. Craw
ford Gibson, of Glascock, in nomination for
Senator, and be was nominated by a rising
vote. A new district executive committee
was then appointed, consisting of Judge
Claiborne Snead, S. C. Reed aud W. E.
Jackson, of Richmond; Geo. W. Wnrren
and A, S. Smith, of Jefferson, and T. M. J.
Kelly, of Glascock. The convention recom
mend calling another convention for the ex
press purpose of agreeing on a fair rotation
system for the district, and then adjourned.
THE DAVIDSON DELEGATES.
Immediately after one convention ad-
[uraed, and in the same hail, the other
convention met. Chairman Mulherin
tailed it to order, and
none but Richmond’s contesting delegates
responded, he declared no quorum aud no
business. The delegates presented a state
ment declaiing all other delegates bolters
and calling on the delegates from Jefferson
and Glascock to join them in another attempt
on August 16th. Chairman Mulherin then
adjourned the body till that date. <
The conventions are immense sensations in
Augusta, anil although both were a little
irregular, a large majority of people will
stand by to day’s nomination, because of a
desire for fair play and to do justice to
Glascock.
WILL BE RUN. |
Everybody asks if Senator John Davidson
will run anyway, but his friends refuse to
say, and most of them believe he is out of
the race. He has not expressed himself yet,
hut wrote a card to the minority delegates
on yesterday, saying he was no candidate
unless the convention should nominatehim
under a fair rotation system,

Army Appropriation Dill Paused wttli the
Hawley Amendment—Fisheries Debate.
Washington, July 26.—Among the bills
reported from committees and placed on the
calendar were the following House bills:
Establishing additional aid to navigation at
the mouth of the Mississippi river; for the
eoustruction of a revenue cutter for New
hern, N C., to facilitate the transportation
of life-saving and light house S'-tiplles at
Hog Islaud, Va.; in reference to the bonds
ot disbursing and other officers; for the
monthly payment of the army, and toe Sen-
ule joint resolution of adju.tmeut ol the
amount due the Siate of South Carolina fur
rent of the Citadel Academy.
The Senate resumed consideration of the
army appropriation bill, the pending ques
tion being au amendment ottered by Senator
llawley appropriating $760,000 fur nn urn.y
gun factory at Watervilet arsenal, New York;
$5,010,00,/ lor the purchase of steel for high-
powder coast defense guns; $500,000 for the
purchase of sub-marine mines, aud $1000000
lor sub-marine controllable torpedoes. Tin
amendment was agreed to without division,
and after the adoption of a few other urneud-
meats, the hill was reported back from the
committee of the whole to the Senate.
Senator Berry called fora separate vote on
the Hawley amendment ami p oceeded to
address the Senate in opposition to it.
Senator Gorman also opposed the amend
incut. He did not believe the army appro
priation bill was the proper place for the
consideration of the question, but if the Sen
ate were to enter on its consideration he
should propose as au amendment a proposi
tion that hud been thoroughly considered
elsewhere, (uteauing in the House committee
on appropriations) appropriating thtrty-e ght
millions of dollars tube expended in certaiu
amounts yearly up to 1902. Senator Gorman
thereupon sent to the clerk’s desk sud bad
read 6 very lengthy paper providing with
great particularity for the testing of new
guns and lor the supplying a certain num
ber of those that had stood the test of two-

aiors Gorman and Hawley, the Gorman
auiendiueut waa rejected without division,
aud the Hawley amendment was then agreed
to, ye s 24, nays lti and the MU was passed.
The Senate then proceeded to the consider
ation of the fisheries trea y in open execu
tive sessiou, and was addressed by Senator
Wilson, of Maryland, in favor of its ratifica
tion. Following him, Senator Saulsbury
took the floor, aud said he would address
the Senate to-morrow, and Senator Vance
gave a like uoliee for Saturday. Senator
Frye said that he would ask the Senate to
meet at 11 a. ut. Saturday, Monday aud Tues
day, and until a vote ws* reached on the
treaty, adding that shortly the tariff bill
would he belore the Senate and would oc
cupy all it. tune.
Senator Teller made another attack upon
Secretary Hazard, commenting upon what
he called some of the “remarkable state
ments’’ in the speech of the Senator from
Maryland, and s|M>ke of the edict having
gone forth from the White House that the
treaty was to be supported He accused
Senator WHson of having openly espoused
the Canadian side of the question and of
having gone beyond the Canadian statement
in advocating their causa.
His remarks provoked retorts from Sena
tor, Wilson, Saulsbury and Morgan, the lat-

Length of the Session.
Washington, July 26,—The outlook for
_ protracted session in consequence of last
night’s Republican conference decision, is
not on threatening as appears to be generally
supposed. The tariff bill of 1883 was under
discussion In the Senate, with intermissions
for other business, less than six weeks. It
it thought that the committee can complete
its bill and its report within a week or ten
days, and the Senate will then probably ke-
;iu Us sessions at 11 o'clock ami sit seven
tours daily, with evening cessions in addi
tion, as the debate proceeds. The certainty
of the result and the difficulty of keeping a
quorum of the House together, with little of
importance to do after the appropriation
hilts shall have been disposed of, anu, more
than all else, the increasing heat, give rise
to the hope that six or seven weeks hence, if
not sooner, the present session will find its
record made up and ita work done. More
over, nineteen formal tariff apeeehes, by
exact count, have already been delivered in
the Senate.
London, July 26.—Elaborate preparations
are being made at Suickho'm and Copen
hagen for the reception of Emperor Wil
liam. King Christian, of Denmark, will
start with a small fleet for Copenhagen Sun
day to meet the German squadron. Two
Russian men-of-war are also expected to be
present at Copenhagen during the stay of
the Emperor.
Stockholm, July 26.—Emperor William
arrived here this afternoon. lie was received
by King Oscar and Crown Prince Gustave.
The streets ot the city were crowded with
people and the houses were profusely deco
rated with flags.
King Oscar, accompanied by the Crown
'rince, embarked at 6 o’clock tiiis morning
on the ironclad Droot and departed to meet
Emperor. The Swedish squadron,
which had previously gone to meet the
Emperor and escort him here, met the Ger
man fleet oil Sandbainme last evening. At 8
o'clock this morning the two squadrons were
seen off Galrain. On the approach of the
Droot, the Germau vessels fired a salute.
King Oscar, wearing the uniform of the
Swedish admiral, and the Crown Prince then
boarded the yacht Uohenzullern and were
received by the German Emperor, who wore
on his breast the decoration of the
Swedish order. Salutes were, fired by
the men-of-war and land batteries and
bands played. The vessel entered here at
noon, aud was received with a salute from
the citadel. The harbor was full of pleasure
boats, the decks of which were crowded
with sight-seers. Emperor William ami
Prince Henry and their *nites were conveyed
in a launch to the landing, where a trium
phal arch had been erected. Here King Os
car, surrounded by members of his court,
received the Emperor and Prince Henry.
The royal party, accompanied by a military
escort, then proceeded to the castle.
The route was lined with crowds of peo
le, who h-artily cheered the German ruler.
Smperor William seemed to be highly grati
fied at the recepti n accorded him, and re
peatedly bowed his thanks. On arriving at
the castle their majesties appeared and sa
luted the people. After driving through
the zoological garden King Oscar and his
imperial visitor were banqueted at the
castle. One hundred guests were present,

with deen regret that we learn <1 of "is
■’tath. Death is always terrible, but never
ore so than when it strikes down the
young and the strong. In the bloom of
manhood, when the future seemed to ofler
him its brightest promises, and when his
strong hand was most needed to support
the declining years of his mother, he was
cut down. He was a young man of bright
intellect, and possessed the true instincts
of a gentleman. He was loved and re
spected by all who came in contact with
him. He ia, sociable, kind, gentle, true
honorable and manly. The evidences ol
his trust and faith in Jesus were marked
in his last hours, and to his relatives and
friends this is a source of consolation in
their grief.
The writer of this knew him, and i n
common with all who knew him, loved
him. May he rest in peace!

The Armed nnd Mashed White Caps Whip
Two Women nnd Attack a House.
New Albany, Ind., July 26.—The White
Caps on Tuesday morning in Crawford coun-
ty whipped two women nearly to death, one
probably fatally, and then proceeded to the
house of a reputable citizen in the neighbor
hood and ordered him to spread the news of
their doings s a warning.
The plaus of the \\ hite Caps had been
overheard and the citizen had three friends
with him. He accordingly refused to do
the bidding of the White Caps and waa
threatened by them. A fight ensued, in
which three of the White Caps were shot,
two of them fatally. One of these is named
Gregory, a country merchant, aged 60, with
a family of grown children. Another of
these is a saloon keeper named Saunders, a
