THE PEHOCBATIO NOMINATION.
I There is absolutely no enthusiasm here
orer the Presidential ticket put uul by t ie
Democratic convention in Chicago y—'er-

tion, to as great a degree possibly as any
ticket that could bare been nominated
Thera is, of couraa.no particular eulhnsl-
asm needed in Utla (state at a Presidential
campaign, but 1 do not obierre here any
dissatisfaction our the nomination. On
the contrary, it ia even
quietly intimated in numerous
ctlicisland unofficial quarters that the
ticket will carry Georgia by a goodly ma
jority. To Messrs. i tote)amt and lira-
'trick* tills intelligence will. doubtless be
reassuring and gratifying.

A TIRED GAMIN.
There is a little newaboy here whom I
have noticed often, whose counterpart is
probably to be found In most cities. He
seems too young and small to be allowed
to wander on the atreeta. but doubtless
farced to it by those who should give him
some care and kindness, but who instead
work him beyond his strength and years,
and feed upon or drink his scanty earnings.
Tlie little fellow seems to get his small
store of papers late in the evening,
after most of his older and shrewder
contemporaries have scoured the
field, and long after tlie demand is over,
lie stays on tlie street till Sand 10 o'clock,
after most children are tacked awav in
their beds—indeed when most houist folks
have gone to their homes. Hs pads along
in bis hsrefeet, approaching the late pe
destrian with outstretched band: “Want a
piper?”
The other night, walking with a friend,
we found this chap curled upon one of the
numerous fruit shelves that line the streets,
Ills papers still unsold held tightly under
his arm, his head resting upon Ills lap,
sleeping the sleep of a tired child. Under

akin to home or not. he jumped to his feet
and in a twinkle had disappeared. I am
quite sure lie does not always meet with
an h wealthy and extravagant patrons,
and gives up very olten with bis papers
unsold. Where he goes to then anu what
happens to him then, I do not know, but
have an idea that the port he gets into is
not a haven of rest or kindness.
To-morrow, at the First Baptist Church,
Dr. Hawthorne, the distinguished divine,

Mrs. Clara Haiucs, of Savannah, to lend
her voice to ttie occasion and she had con

Those who are interested in the Con

Com crops will be good despite the small
stalk from cool spring and May and June
drouth.
Only one-third of a melon crop and no
glut anywhere, yet the returns hdve been
light, so much so that melon growers feel
“whipped out.” Freights are too high for
the growers to make anything. Here is
an account of the sale of a car of choice
melons, which is better than the average
returns: “One car of melons, 8185. Com
mission 818.50, freight 801.08-100.18. Net
proceeds, 871-82."
The grower loads his car at the depot
and unloads at the point of destination,
and yet what a small per cent, of the
money value oi the melons comes back to
his hands.

The Ravlsher, Identified by His Victim,
Brought to Speedy Justice by n
Crowd of Determined Citizens
[special telegram.]
I aGranox July 12.—Though the revolt-
ingcrimeof Wednesdxy night is still the
topic of conversation, and much indigna
tion Is expressed, our citizens are compar
atively calm. A meeting of citizens at the
court house last night, to consult as to the
proper thing to he done, decided to request
Judge Thomas Whittaker, of tho County
Court, to have Willis Hodnett, the negro
suspected ol tho criminal assault, carried
to the house of his victim and confronted
witli lirr for idenljfication, it possible.
The J udge acceded to their request, and
the suspected man was carried to the
lady’s house this afternoon. She was
found nervous and utterly prostrate, but
testified intelligently, before God and with
regard to her oath, understanding the con-
aequonces, that the prisoner was the per
peiratorof the crime. On the contrary
Hodnett made a plain atatement, account
ing for himself all night.
A crowd had followed from town, and
the investigation was continued on the
ground. Solicitor Wimblsh prosecuted
the case, and Messrs. Arnold and Gaffney,
at the request of the court and crowd,
ably defended Use accused. After argument,
Judge Whittaker decided that the evidence
required that Hodnett bo held for the ac
tion of the grand jury. After delivering
this deci ion, the judge admonished the
crowd to await developments and preserve
order. Before he had left the yard, how
ever, the prisoner bad been taken front
the guard tiy the crowd, who held tho
sheriff so that he could not interfere,
Judge Whittaker earnestly remonstrated
and ordered all to disperse, but his com
mand was diregarded and he was seized
and carried off the ground by friends,
The negro was then placed In a hack,
which started for tlie swamp. It has since
been reported that Hodnett was made
stand on the top of ttie hack, a rope was
placed around his neck, lied to the limb
of a tree, and the back driven from nnder

Cooperston, N. Y., July 4.—Noth
ing more thrillingly tragic in connec
tion with a suicidal act has ever been
chronicled than the circumatanct s at
tending tlie self-destruction of George
W. Crocker, ot Shann Springs, who to
day fastened a heavy anchor to his leg
wliile in a boat on Otsego Lake, and
when his companion, observingtheact,
took steps to save him, he pointed a
revolver at his head, and leaped over
board. The corpse is now at the bot
tom of the lake, which is 300 feet deep
at the point where the tragedy oc
curred.
Mr. Crocker was a young man in
comfortable circumstances. He always
dressed respectably, drove a fine team
and kept a private pleasure boat. Or
dinarily he was of cheerful disposition
and decidedly genial nature. A couple
of years ago he was married and has
since resided happily with his wife.
The fruit of the union was one child, of
which the young father was passionate
ly fond. Intimate friends of Mr.
Crocker say that as far as known all
his relations were of the pleasantest
kind, except those with his wile’s
father, from whom he had became es
tranged. A feeling of bitterness pre
vailed between the two men, and on
more than one occasion Crockerthreat
ened to take the life ol his father-in-
law. It is now thought that he hod
determined either to kill his father-in
law or end his own existence, and hi:
action of self-distnieti.m shows that lie
filially preferred to adopt tlie latter.
His preparations for the suicide wi r
planned witli great deliberateness, bin
were of such a character as to prevent
tlie possibility of any failure. In com-
lany with his friend Waller Livingston
ie went rowing on the lake thin after
noon. While Ids friend hud the oars
Crocker, unobserved, fn-tened tlie an
chor to his leg. He then rose lor tlie
mrpose ol leaping overboard when Mr.
l.ivingHton lor the first time observed
the preparations ttiat had been made
for tlie suicidal act and lie sprang for
ward to prevent it. Such an emergency
had, however, been provided lor by
Crocker, as upon observing Ids friend's
movement, he drew a revolver from
ids pocket, and pointing it at
Livingston, warned 1dm that i( he
approached a step nearer he would put
a ballet through his heart. Crocker’s
eyes were glaring wildly and lie was
evidently insane. Mr. Livingston hes
itated to approach, believing, as he now
does, that he would have been shot
down, nnd stood transfixed with horror
at tlie terrible situation in which ho
found himself placed. Without a mo
ment’s delay Crocker raised the anchor
in ono lund, while he continued to
cover his friend with Ids pistol in the
other and sprang overliourd. All at
tempts at a rescue were of conrse use
less, as tho heavy iron quickly carried
the unfortunate man to the bottom of
the lake.
Mr. Livingston pulled ashore as rap
idly os possible and told tho Name

excitement among the sojourners of the

The grand assault upon the enemy’s
works waa made at high nocn, and was
in tlie nature ol a surprise, as the Mex
icans did not think the Americans
would dare to charge against such odds.
But charge they did and over tlie breast
works they went ami fearfully slaugh
tered the enemy, with a loss to them
selves of only eight killed and twenty-
four wounded. It seems that tlie first
volley of the Mexican* was fire-1 too
high and tlie second too low, an-i by
that time they were not in a condi
tion to shoot any more to speak
about, and tlie desperate Bix hundred
were in tile midst sliooting with rifles
and pistols, slashing and stabbing witli
swonls, bayonets and those terrible
liowie knives. Tlie Mexicans were
stampeded and slaughtered like sheep.
Seven hundred were killed, and an
many were wounded and al-out tu
many escaped. When Santa Anna
waa captured the scene around him
was terrific. “Remember the Alamo'
was still the cry, and the Mexicat
chieftain's life was in desperate jeopar
