Mr. Watson, of McDuffie, thought the question of no serious weight, and that tne county of McDuffie would appreciate tbe honor conferred upon her citizen. Mr. DuBignon. of Chatham, took the Boor and stated that tbe convention ought to take no risk. If there was any diffi culty, any question raised, serious or not, Ibe convention ought to avoid *t. Had this question not bten raised, Ihe name of Hon. R. C.

Editor Evening Neva: My attention has been called to a report of an Interview be tween a member of your staff aud mysrlt, had in your city on Monday morning, the 4th instqnt, and published in your ptper of that date, and subsequently into other papers of the State. Your reporter, usually accurate, has, doubtless owing to the hurried conversa tion had just as tbe train was about to start, reported me as to Severn! matters not exactly correct, and I now ask a brief space in your valuable columns for tbe purpoee of putting myrelf on tbe record, as I am willing for the record to stand.

The internal revenue department here had quite an extensive auction sale fn front of the Custom house this morning, disposing at outcry of the mules, horses, wagons, stills ana liquors of some luck less moonshiners of Pickens county. Tbe sale attracted a large crowd, and the stock went off rapidly nt very fair prices, ‘‘con sidering.” Both cotton mills here are running on short time, Tbe Exposition Milts, I be lieve, arc running on threequar- ters time, and the Atlanta Cotton Mills about the same, I passed by the huge establishment of the latter, to-day, and judging by the silence that prevailed it might be termed, poetically, so to speak, “A painted ship on a painted ocean." Tbe State Treasury.has received from the Fourtli National Bank ol New York, tbe punched coupons of the July Interest amounting to upward of 1150,000. The amount usually paid in New York is about $175,UOO.

DOUBLE TKACK. The most authoritative and official ex planation I have been able to ascertain in reference to the railroad collision on the West Point road ia, that it resulted from a misconception of orders, which In Ite turn grew out of the change of schedule, which took effect yesterday. The conductors of both trains were con ductor* ot tbe Western railroad of Ala bama. It is well known that there Is but a single track between Atlanta and East Point, a distance oi six miles, and itisnsedby both the Central and the West Point roads. Orer this single track there Is an enormous passenger and freight traffic, whose trans portation requlret many trains daily. A double track to the Point seems to be im peratively needed, a need which tbe collis ion yesteri THE NEWS IN GEORGIA. believe he wilt be elected, or that be is s weaker man than the honorable candidate for Vice Pres-ldcnt, Governor Hendricks, of Indians. Tbe Idea intended to be con veyed, and which, in my judgment, Is the truth, is briefly this: That ihe 'iukrtis the beet that could possibly ha vs been pre sented. Each candidate has .strong points predominating to his character which fit with tbp other like piecea of machinery, the whole making when united a perfect and complete entity. While Gov. Cleveland has not the large experience in State craft possessed by Gor. Hendricks, and while he may not bare the brilliancy of Mr. Blaine, he has sound judgment, great decision and Utninessof character and real ability, at no one can deny who will look to the record lie hat made as Governor of the great Empire State, and to hia moat excellent response to the notification address of Col.

The outgoing and incoming regular passenger trains collided at a point three miles fram Atlanta near tbe Perdue crosae ing. Tbe result was a frightful imash-up. Both engines were more or less damaged, the ooe on tbe train from Atlanta almost completely wrecked. Tbe tenders of both engines telescoped the mail can on their respective trains, and there remained, sheathed as it were, until tbit afternoon, when tbe wreck was removed and tbe track cleared. On each postal car were two postal clerks, who, when they saw that tbe oclltskm was intvltebis, jumped from tbe cars, and so escaped being horri bly mangle I. As it was three of them were badly injured. F. J. A lira had hi* •boulder dislocated, and J. H. Spurlock and E. G. Thomas received injuries iu Ihefr spines. Tbs fourth wss a negro, who escaped with slight injuries. Both engineer.-, McDonald snd John UcWsl- ten. srere very aeriously injured. Mc- Waltere had hi* back broken, and his life Isdeepslradot.
