and I had Governor Johnson’s own
authority for the statement that I
have made. In the first place, the
incident did not occnr in the seces
sion which assembled ou the 16th of
January, 1861; but it occurred in
the Democratic convention that as
sembled Jnue 4th, 1860, after the
rupture in the Charleston conven
tion, and when the Democracy of
Georgia had assembled to act upon
the split that had occurred in that
convention. The president was T.
L. Gnerry, and the chairman of the
business was William II. Stiles. A
majority report was made, Hcrschel
V. Johnson making a minority re
port. The majority report indorsed
the action of the seceders and re
affirmed the Cincinnati platform.
The majority report took ground for
the protection of slavery in the terri
tories. The minority report declar
ed that the slave property was en
titled to the same legal recognition
in the territories as any other prop
erty. A long discussion ensued.
Mr. Toombs was not a member of
the convention and did not speak.
Fean give you now the words of the
history as Governor Johnson told
the matter to me: ‘Ex-Governor

The New York Democracy are mak
ing efforts to have a grand reunion for
the purpose of properly commemorat
ing Andrew Jackson’s birthbay on the
16th in st. The occasion will be taken
advantage of to elicit some expres
sions of sentiment from prominent
men, in and out of Congress, on the
Monroe doctrine, the tariff, and other
national issues which will help to
broaden the minds of local leaders,
and to turn them from fractional di
visions to larger and worthier issues.
The great difficulty in the way, how
ever, is the quarrels between Tamma
ny and Irving halls, and it is proposed
to compromise matters by holding the
meeting in Cooper Institute, the Acad
emy of Music, or on some other neu
tral ground. Unless the control of
matters is turned over to outride par
ties, and taken away from “the bosses’’

I11 conversation with a represen
tative of the Constitution Governor
Colquitt said:
“1 have determined not to call the
Legislature in session for tho redis-
tricting of the State.”
"Will you givo the public the
reasons that led you to this conclu
sion?”
“Certainly. The main thing is the
question of 'expense. Tho Legisla
ture has already had au extra ses
sion, and the expense has been very
heavy. I see no reason to (add to
this by another session. The State
will lose none of its representations.
The extra Congressman will be elect
ed from the State at large, and will
represent the State just as well as if
he was elected from a district”
“It is said, thoogb, that it will
cost just as much, except the mile
age, to redistrict at the regular ses
sion next year as to do it now ?”
“That is a mistake.- The mileage
itself is a considerable item, but be
yond this there wonld be very heavy
extra cost For instance: Suppose
the extra session is called. After a

waits idle-handled. After the re
port is made the redistricting hill
would have to be read three sep
arate readings in each honse. This
would take six days—all of which
time the Legislature wonld be sit
ting idle, though drawing foil pay.
Then there wonld be a long debate
over the bill and countless amend
ments. Now, if the work is done
during a regular session, the Legis
lature could attend to other business
while waiting for the report of the
committee, and while waiting for
-the readings of the bill, so there
would be no time lost. As for the
debate, it might fit that in daring
dull days of the regular session, ana
save at least two or three. weeks of
time. This had led me to decide not
to call the extra session.”
w “There is another reason,” said the
Governor, “that you may give if you
wish. It is a great burden on the
farmer members lo call them away
from their crops in the spring or
summer. That isa time when the
farmer is needed at home, and never
so much so, perhaps, as now. I
have a letter from a member now,
lelling me he lost two crops by the
Legislature already. Where there
is no emergency, and really no rea
son for aetion this year, I think such
an appeal ought to have weight.”
THE GOVERNOR WILL NOT BE A CAN
DIDATE.
“Your name has been suggested,
Governor, as a candidate for Con
gress at large. Have yon any objec
tion to saying whether or not you’
will run?”
“None at all. I shall not be a can
didate under any circumstances.
Had I ever thought of such a thing
—I have never thought of it—[the
very fact that I find it necessary
from public consideration not to
call the extra session, would make
it indelicate', and improper for me

A Romance In Real Life.
Dalton (Ga.) Cltlxen. --
Doubtless some of- our readers
will call to mind Prof. Bond, a wire
walker, who attempted to walk in
this ^lace some years ago but fell,
breaking both his legs and one of
his arms. For months he was con
fined at the National Hotel, and it
was still [longer ere he fully recov
ered. the use of his limbs and coaid
walk with ease. Here is a story in
which Bond takes quite a romantic
part:
“Abont a year ago a party of gen-
ilcmen living near Green Hill, Stew
art county, Ga., took a notion that
they, would movo out West- and
grow up with the country. They
went to Texas and had been there
but a short time before they formed
the acquaintance of a ‘wire walker,’
whose name was Bond. The acquaint
ance ripened into friendship, and
Bond was so much pleased ifith his
new found friends that lio wanted
them to give him a Georgia sweet
heart. This was an easy matter for
The barber passed his them to do, and they recommended
a young lady in the Green HiU
neighborhood. Now comes the ro
mantic part of the story. One even
ing after Miss Annie Nicholson had
finished milking fbe cows, and had
rinsed out the strainer rag and
hang it by the door facing to dry,
she got a letter. This was not an
nnusual occurrence, but the letter
was a most unexpected one. It was
from here Texas friends informing
her that "they' had given her away
and that her lover |>y proxy wanted
to know;ifhe could,write]to her. She
couldn’t refuse such a modest re
quest and answered him yes. Bond
wrote to her immediately on receiv
ing the permission. He liked her
chirograpliy and the smack of her
letter, and asked an exchange of pic
tures. Again she could not refuse.
He was in a haven of bliss at the
sight ofliis fair Yenus and at once
made a proposal of marriage: She
had made a precedent and it would
not do to violate it, and again she
could not refuse. February 16 was
set for the time of culminating their
happiness by the holy bonds of wed
lock. Those who knew of the love
affair said, it was all a joke, but
Bond meant business. Last Friday
evening one week ago a stranger
called at the house where Miss
Nicholson resided. _-It was her
Adonis. He saw the goddess of his
heart’s idolatry. He took in the
situation and was well pleased—aye
fascinated, charmed. He left her
with a promise to call at the ap
pointed time, when the marriage
nuptials would be celebrated. Last
Thursday evening lie was on time,
and Ihe happy marriage took place.”

a Western girl who went to a fu
neral to flirt with the mourners.
SAVED BT A KISS.
A Babr Brought Rack to Lie by
Little Brother’s Breath.
_A very remarkable case of what
might be called bringing a child
back to life, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal, occurred recently
at the resideuce of Mr. Joseph Moy
er. Mr. Meyer has two children,
one a boy about ten years old and
the other a little girl abont two
months old. This baby, which haB
always appeared healthy, was taken
suddenly ill one night with something
like convulsions, and cameverv near
dying before medical aid coul d be
summoned. Dr. Henderson was
called in and gave the chlid some
medicine to relieve it, not thinking,
however, that it conld possibly live.
He then left, but returned again
the following morning.- When he
reached the house the child was
barely breathing, and in a few
moments afterwards respiration
stopped altogether. Every appeal-,
ance of death was visible; the face
assumed the hue of death, the jaw
dropped, limbs relaxed, and the eyes
became glazed. The doctor ex
amined the pulse and listened for
the beating of the heart, bnt failing
to find any signs of life, pronounced-
the child dead. It lay thus for.
folly ten minutes, with the mem-!
bers of the family grouped around 1
the bed lamenting, as is usual in!
aneh cases. The little girl’s brother,
who was.jnst old enough to under
stand the sitnation/And who seemed
to be greatly grieved, suddenly
stepped from the circle and ap
proached the supposed corpse,,
leaned over and imprinted a kiss
upon the pallid lips. The baby’s
mouth was slightly open, and in
kissing her the boy blew his breath
down her threat The little lips
suddenly moved, the child gave
several sadden gaspf, and
then commenced to breathe—
first, and then gradually stronger
until respiration became almost
natural. Every one aronnd was
terribly astonished at this nnkook-
for coming back from the dead, and'
did. not seem to realize the fact'
until the child had been breathing
half an hoar. It is still alive and
rapidly improving.
Little Tunas-from Nature’s Book.
“Books are a wonderful help,” says
BUI Nye, “but a man ought not to be
satisfied to go through life and al
ways be on the borrow from other
people’s brains. He ought to find
out somethings himself and leave
a little to posterity in payment for
all that he has learned. Few hook-
learned people know that when a
hotse crops grass he eats hack to
him, bnt it cow eats outward from
her because she has no front teeth in
her upper jaw and has to gum it;
that some kinds of snakes lay eggs
and some don’t, but give birth to their
young; that a cane gets its full
growth in a year, whether it is large
or small, and the limb of a tree
never gets any higher from the
ground, no matter how high the tree
grows. These facts 1 have learned
from stndying nature.”

BUST PBOOF SEED 01TS,
I OFFER for side ten thousand bushels of
Genuine Texas Red Rust Proof Oats se-
lected by a party on the spot with a view, to
getting nothing but tho genuine article. They
are the same quality that I sold so many of
last season, which gave such general satisfac
tion; In fact I have not heard of a single in
stance in which they failed give perfect satisfac
tion. If reports from the corn crops ont West
are to be credited, the price of corn willri le
mnch higher next season than it did the past,
hence the necessity of sowing more Oats and
earlier than last season, in order to secure a
stand before the freezes come on them. I am
prepared to fill orders for early sowing. The
demand for Seed Oats will be unprecedented
ly heavy this season, and I h^ve advices from
Texas of a marked advance in the price of
them, and I think it advisable for those in
need of Seed Oats to secure then, at once.
I will exchange Oats foif Cotton Seed, or
^ilihuy all the Cotton teed I can get, at the
highest market price, for the mone~ “
