A Sad Sulcldo—-A N« t»ro B [Sl-ECIAL XXLEOIU3I. Acocsta, July 28.—'The news of a deeply regretted and terrible death comes to the city from Beech Island to-day. A negro man named Tom Thomas, who works (or Mr. Tom Calhoun, on his farm, brought over tbe report, and lie says that wheu lie went to the house this morning for the stable keys, he found the house open and 5f r. Calhoun dressed but lying on the bed with his face down, a pistol in his hand and a pool of blood arohnd his head. On examination it was fonnd that tbe unfor tunate man was dead and that the pistol •hot went throogh hie head. Tne cause of the suicide, for euch it evidently was, is unknown. Mr. Calhoun was a popular young farmer, and highly eateemed by all his friends and acquaintances, who deeply regret this sad and tragic affair. An interesting matter At the city hall this morning called out a few telegrams betwees the authorUiee and Governor McDaniel, and a discussion as to the pro priety of giving up a prisoner oresoaped convict to South Carolina before his trial on this side of the river took place. Cap tain Sligh came from South Carolina bearing a requisition from the Governor of his State and honored by Governor Me Daniel for the live body of Dick Robinson, alio* Joe Edwards. This colored gentle man is the same bruiser who was captured recently, and is now waiting investigation nnd trial for four separate burglaries In Augusta. Lieutenant Twiggs, of the force' consulted Judge Webb, the city recorder, as to the delivery of the prisoner, and the recorder advised that tbe delivery be not made until Governor McDaniel waa ad vised of the facte. Such a telegram was forwarded by Judge Webb and tbe reply came straight from Atlanta revoking hia signature to the Carolina requisition, and ordering the retention of Uie prisoner in Georgia until tried In this State, as set forth in section 66 of the code. The Geor gia code and law is that when a man is charged with a violation of law he mutt be held until tried. The negro is clessed among the moat notorious plunderers in South Carolina and is an escaped convict. THE CATTLE DISEASE. M AC( > N>1' RID AY.

They have observed elth attention your execution thr Committee: Yonr fortntl announce ment does not, of coarse, convey me the first information of result of the convention lately held by tbe Democrats of the nation, and yet, when I listen to yonr metaage and see about me representative* irom all parts of the land of tbe great party which, claiming to be the party of the people,asks them to trnet In their ad ministration of tbe ^government, and when I consider, under the Influence of Ihe stem reality which the present snf- roundings mate, that I have been choaen to represent the plans, purposes and policy of tha Democratic part), I am profoundly Impressed bv the solemnity of the occasion and by tbe responslbUlty of my position.

Sir, though Indi ana's favored citizens may have enjoyed with just pride the peculiar honor and dla- tingU'ihed service* you have rendered yonr party, your State end the nation, and may teal a peculiar attachment for tbe endear ing qualities of your heart and mind, be enured that the Democracy of the nation participate in that sens* of honor end affectionate regard in a hardly less degree. They wit by your nominal! HExnatcxas tuu’LY. Mr. Hendricks responded as follows: ".Ur. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee: I cannot realise that a man should ever stand in the presence of a committee representing a more angnet body of men than that which you reprs- sent. In tbe language of another, the convention was large in members, august in culture and patriotic iu sentimente, and may I not add that, because of the power and tbe greatness and virtues of tbe par ty which it represented, it was itself In ev- ery respect a vent great convention. [Ap ilsuse.j The delegatee came from all the tales and Territories and'l believe from the District of Columbia. [Applause.) They came clothed with authority to express judgment and opinion upon all tnoiu questions which are not settled by constitutional law, for the purpose of pass ing upon those queitlons and selecting a ticket for the people. That convention as sembled. They decided upon the princi ples that they would adopt as a platform; they selected the candidates )bat they would propose to the party for their eup- 1 >oi t,and that convention's work wm tbeirs. have not reached , the period whoa it is proper for me to consider tbe strength and force of the statementi made In the platform. It is enough for me to know that it cornea at yonr hands from that convention.addressed to my patriotic devo tion to the Democratic party. (Applause.) 1 appreciate the honor that u done me. I need not question that; but at the > ante time that 1 accept the honor from yon and from the convention, -I feel that tbe duties and reiponilbiliU-.e of office net upon me alto. I know that sometime! It le understood that this particular of fice, that of Vice-President, docs not involve any responsibility, and as a general thing that Is so; but sometimes it comes to represent very great responsibilities, end It may be so In the near future, for at this time the Senate of tbe United Slates ttande almost equally divided between the two great parties, and it may be that theta two great parties •hall *v tsartly differ that tha Vice-Presi dent of tbe United States shall have to de cide upon questions of law by the exercise of the casting vote. [Ap plause.] It would not then be tb* re- •pon-dbility of representing * State or a district. It wonld be tb* responsibility of representing tbe whole country, and tbe obligation would be to tbe judgment of tbe whole country; and that vote, when thus cut, should be ln obedience to the just ex pectations and requirements of the people of the people of the United States. It might be, gentlemen, that upon another occasion responsibility would attach to this office. It might occur that under circumstances of soma difficulty— I don’t think it will be tbe next election, but tt may occur under circumstance* of some difficulty that the President of the Senate will have to take his part la the counting of the electoral vote. And allow me to sty that that doty is not to be dis charged in obedience to any set ot men or to any party, but in obedience to a higher authority. [ Applause.] Gentlemen, you have referral tothe fact that I am honored by this nomination In a very special de gree. I accept tbe suggestion that iu this candidacy I will represent the right of tb* people to choose their own rulers—that right that is above all, that lies beneath all; for If tha people art denied the right to choose their own officers according to their own judgment, wbat shell become of tb* rights of tha people? What shall be. come of free government if the people •elect not their officers? How shall they control tbe laws, their administration and their execution? So that, in enggesting that in this candi dacy I represent that right of tb* people —u you nave suggested—a great honor bu devolved npoo me by tba confidence of the convention. As soon ult may be con venient tnd possible to doo eo, 1 will ad- dreu you more formally ln respect to the letter you hi ve given me.

Democrats, embracing all classes of the people, have crowded the polls and depos ited their ballots. Wben the polls opened this morning they were at once crowded, and have remained so since. There has been a steady atresm of ballots from the first, and at the close it will be found that the lergestvote has been polled ever known in a Fulton primary. This morning bo.fi •ides were confident and buoyant, bnt towards noon tbe Hammond men seemed a little backed, but atill plucky. Beta have been freely offered and taken, bat the odds have varied eo rapidly that they do not give any idea ot tbesituation. At 3o'clcck the polls at West End were closed, and the result was fiftyfour for Hammond and sixteen for Jackson. When these returns were announced ln. the city, the Hammond men grew very en thusiastic and the Jackson men showed evident sign* of discouragement. At the tame time it was reported that the result ln Henderson’s district wes even greater n favor of Hammond. In the city there are only two voting preeincls—one at the new court house and tbe other near the customhouse. At 4 o'clock there had been deposited about 3,000 ballots, and tbe im pression Is that a majority of them are Hammond tickets. There is still time to change the result, and both sides ere bend ing every energy to win the victory. The election is proceeding quietly, without dis turbance, controversy or drunkenness. Every Democrat In tbe city is wrought up to a pitch of enthusiasm rarely seen here, and to watch tb! polls one would think the people were trying to elect two or three Presidents and as many Vice-Presidents for the Federal government. Atlaxta, July 30.—At 6 o'clock Atlanta (s almost given up to politics. Both sides •re giving their attention to voting the stragglers. The bulk of the vote Is in, as the polte close at 7. Out of the nine county precinct four are heard from with the fol lowing result: Sonth Bend, 42 for Ham mond, 22 for Jackson; West End,51 for Hammond, 10 for Jackson; East Point, 30 for Hammond, 2 for Jackson; Peachtree, 33 for Hammond, 15 for Jackson. From Cook’s district It Is reported that Jackson's majority Is 00. At this boar It Is openly charged by Hammond men that the Jackson crowd la repeating. It is Im possible to tell now as to the truth of this charge. It will be late to-night before the. result is ascertained. hammoxd ecccxsaruL. Atlaxta, July 30.—Atlanta is wild to night with enthuviami over the snccesi of Hammond. At tha close of the count, at nearly 11 o'clock, the aggregate msj'irily for Hammond was about two hundred. One county precinct Is still to be heard from, but is undoubtedly for Hammond. An Immense crowd has gone to Ham mond's residence to announce the re-ulL Hammond's friends ere enthusiastic, end the result is a greet triumph tor tbe "Lit tle GlanL" TUS MYLES CASE.
