Young, the resigna tion was accepted, with an expression of deep regret, and a vote of thanks for faith ful and able service. Upon reorganisation of the committee. Col. J. H. Estill was elected permanent chairman and John Y#\ Aiken secretary. The following members of the commit tee responded to their names: State at large—P. M. B. Young, II. II. Carlton and E. F. Lawson.

Hon. Arthur Gray tendered his resigna tion, which was not accepted. Tho committee then entered upon the business for which it had assembled. Mr. Daniel, of Richmond, oflered a resolution providing for one convention to beheld June 25th. to elect delegates to Chi cago, Presidential electors, candidates for Governor and fcjtate House officers. Judge Hall offered a substitute, which provided for one convention upon the same plan, adopted in 187<1. Both resolutions and the one convention idea were forcibly opposed by Mr. De*sau, Mr. Lawson and Gen. Noting. Judge Hall. Col. Harris. Dr. Carlton and Col. Daniels spoke in favor of one convention. After considerable discussion, it was de rided to put all the motions aside and take a direct vote upon the number of conven tions to be held, one or two. . When that vote was had the result was for one con vention 7, for two conventions 10. Thus one very important question was easily settled. Those who favored one convention wer Messrs. Gray, Carlton, Harris. Hall Peeples. Daniel and Aiken. Mr. Daniel then offered the following resolution, which was adopted: « That the Democratic party meet in con vention in Atlanta June 18th to elect dele gates to the national convention in Chica go, and that tltc Democracy of caeli county meet on the first Tuesday in June to elect delegates to this convention. M Mr. Peeples offered the following, which was adopted: That each connty shall be entitled to double the number of delegates it has rej>- reaentativea in the lower House, and the same number of alternates; atul that the convention be requested to admit no dele gate not properly soelected, and no person not a resident of the county he represent. second coxvxjrnox.

Harris and James Fentress, attorneys on lriialfof the Illi nois Central railroad, filed a hill in the United States Court at this place to-day, returnable to the May term, against the Mississippi Railroad Commissioners. It prays an injunction to prevent interfer ence witli the general working of the road, and especially to forbid the commissioners J \ exercising any coercive proceeding to pel the company to furnish a schedule of charges, or to take any coercive meas ures against the road until* the termination of the suit. A similar bill is said to lie in preparation l»y the Mobile and Ohio railroad for the Aberdeen term of court, and one by the Memphis and Tennessee road for the Ox ford court.

Ceorge Wilcox, Colored, Editor of tho “Defiance,*! Gets Bruised Up. Atlanta Journal. A lively fight took place at the custom house this morning between Howard Hor ton, the janitor, and George Wilcox, editor of the Defiance, both colored. It is the business of the janitor to keep all parties out of the custom house ex cept tb6se who have business there. During the early hours of the day when offices are all thrown open and the work of sweeping out, etc., is bring carried on, these orders are perhaps more strictly ob served than at any other time in the day. as the janitor is held responsible for any thing that might be missing from the of fices. This morning, l*etore court opened. George Wilcox entered the custom-house and started to ascend the fir*t ffight of stairs. “Hold onj yon can’t go up there,” ex claimed the janitor. “Why can't I?” “Because, I sez you can’t,” said Hor ton. “Wh$t right have you pot to say where I shall go?” answered Wilcox. “Because I’ve got orders to keep peo ple out of here who have no business in here.” “Well. I am an editor, and I have got a right to go into any building 1 please, and I am going up stairs to see Mr. Boyd.” Wilcox then started up, but Horton seized him and threw him down stairs. Wilcox Quickly regained his feet and a lively fight ensued, in which Wilcox was badly bruised about the head and face, and Ilorton received a painful kick on one of his leg*.

In August. 1823, he suffered a stroke of paralysis, hut his friends hastened him into retirement in the suburbs of Washington, and Ills canvass was prosecuted with re newed vigor. His. enemies seized upon his physical misfortune ns their strongest weapon of attack, but the Crawford party were equal to the emergency.

Before that body met there appeared to be aorne dissatisfaction in Democratic ranks with tba condition of affairs, and grave fears were entertained that ita action would not lie rattlied at the polli. The convention had scarcely ad journed before it became evident that- vigorous conipaign waa necessary to se cure the election of Its nominee fur the highest office within the gift of the people of Georgia. The result of that contest was decisive, and it was quickly followed by the recovery of the tiro Congressional districts which had been represented by gentlemen who bad txen elected over the nominees of Democratic contentions.

The mistake is made, in his oi>inion.

There are many reasons why tlds assumption is. in Mr. taraar's judgment, incorrect. He has found that the negro voters are not organ ized ax the white voters arc, and that they are disposed to be apathetic unless im pelled by some strong sentiment.
