Mr. Stephen** FIr*t Speech of
Campaign.
The following is a meagre synop
sis of Mr. Stephens’ first speech of
the campaign, which we take from
the Atlanta Post Appeal:
Mr. Stephens was greeted with ap
plause. The speaker opened bis ad
dress by saying that he was here to
take counsel upon matters of deep
interest, which concerned the wel
fare of the people; matters of gov
ernment, and the principles which
should regnlate the administration
of justicg, oflaw, and of right. He
was before the people a3 a candi
date for Governor. From time im
memorial it had been the custom of
candidates for positions of public
trust, to appear before the people
and discuss tho principles of gov
ernment. Our government, he said,
was the best the world ever saw—
Republican in all things, Democratic
in all things. A government of lib
erty founded upon virtue, intelli
gence and patriotism.
The government was not free from
peril, and vigilance and patriotism
were needed to sustain it. In I860
men disagreed with him and said he
was in his dotage when be express
ed the opinion that in six months
the country might be involved in
civil war. Still the war came. Now
he felt impelled to warn the people
that another crissis was approach
ing. He spoke a length of the in
fluences and progress of centraliza
tion, and reviewed the history of
the Democratic parly, showing the
prosperity of the country under its
Mile. Speaking of centralizition
he quoted Washington : ‘‘When bad
men conspire good men must unite.”
Otherwise imperialism would over
whelm the government.
The speaker urged organization
and a firm adheranco to Jefferson
iah principals as the best mode of
resisting centralization. He re
viewed his public career and main
tained that he had acted with the
Democrats with ihe single exception
of refusing lo support Greeley.
He explained the Casey letter and
Ihe Smith letter by stating at length
the circumstances of each ca
Rouns ot applansc greeted the
speech at its close.

Toombs, Lamar and Hill.
Washington Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.
As we stood there, F street did
look deserted, and we would have
turned away, but just then Senator
Beck came along with a bundle un
der his arm and shook hands with
us.
“I am going this week, sure,’’ said
he, patting his bundle in Clay Good-
loe’s country wagon, “and if yon
boys will come and have a jnlip we
can rest a bit over it, much better
than standing here with our backs
against an iron railing.’’
The talk fell upom the funeral of
Senator Hill, and Mr. Beck said it
it was plain lo be seen that, while a
great many of the peeple in Geor
gia did not like Hill, they were all
proud of his intellect,
“I didn’t look at him,” said Mr.
Beck; “I never look at dead people
when I can help it. 1 just passed by
the coffin ; so I didn’t know how he
looked—horribly unnatural, -Sena
tor Morgan told me.”
“It was time for burying animosi
ties,” he continued. “A great many
were put out of sight in Ben Hillts
grave. Bob Toombs and Senator
Lamar had not spoken since Lamar
in the honse delivered his eulogy
of Charles Sumner. I knew all
about it, and it reemed to me absurd
that two men, each holding to un
idea he had a perfect right to enter
tain, should be so near together an-I
not speak ; so I said to Lamar, ‘Come
into my room, Toombs wants to see
you.”
“No, he don’t,” said Lamar. “He
has no use for me. You are mis
taken.”
“I tell ; ou he does. He asked if
you were here,*’ and I gave Lamar a
talking to for holding out with his
differences. I told him that Toombs
was an old Iran, would probably die
in a year, and it was folly to keep
np the entrangement So Lamar
went in with me, apd shortly
after we were all three riding about
the city of Atlanta with Senator
Brown, and Toombs was as happy
as a clam.
The HUl.1T.neey Difficulty.
Uemp Packlng, e—
gia, who was a surgeon in the Con
federate arm}-, and a friend of Ben
Hill and Yancey, gave, to-day, the
following as the true version of the
difficulty between them:
“When Mr. Hill was sent to the
Confederate Senate he was very
much opposed to the war. Mr. Y’an-
cey was a fire-eater, and a great hater
of’ President Jeff. Davis. Mr. Hill
assumed the championship of Mr.
Davis in the Senate, took sides' with
and defended him in everything he
said and did. -This so exasperated
Yancey that one day in the Senate,
after Mr. Hill concluded a speech
in defense of Davis, he rose in his
place, and in that style of his which
was simply inimitable, proceeded to
charge Mr. Hill with inconsistency,
and a want of ardor for the cause of
the South. He brought up Mr. Hill’s
past record, and finally referred to
the Stephens difficulty, and intimat
ed that Hill was a coward. When
he did that Mr. Hill picked up an
inkstand and threw it at Y'ancey,
ju-t grazing his cheek-bone. Yan
cey, in dodging, slipped and fell
backward over his desk, thereby
hurting himself slightly. That was
all there was of it.’’
“Then not producing such spinal
injury as to eventually cause his
death?” “He did not get within ten
feet of Mr. Yancey.”
“Then the seemingly premature
death of Mr. Yancey was not in any
sense caused or bronght about bv
Mr. Hill ?”
“It was not Mr. Yancey died of
Bright’s disease of .the kidneys.
This you can state as a fact as true
as Holy Writ.”
White Thunder, chief of the
Brule Sionx, has written a letter to
Chief Red Cloud, advising him not
to go to war with the pale-face peo
ple. The letter begins frankly
thus: “My friend, I hear some bad
news about yon that makes all yonr
friends here ashamed of yon.”
THE SECOND
DISTBICT COSYENTIOX.
HON. II. G. TURNER Til Z NOMI
NEE.
Full Proceeding* ol the Convention.
The convention of delegates repre
senting the Democracy of the Second

House in Albanyatl2o’clock,yesterday
and was called to order by H. M. Mc
Intosh, representing Capt. R. Hobbs,

requesting H. M. McIntosh to act at
Secretary.

Capt. Davis, upon taking Ihe chair,
thanked the convention for the honor
conferred upon him, and congratulat
ed Ihe delegates upon the spirit of har
mony which seemed to prevail among
them. He admonished all present,
however, not to let this perfect har
mony beget apathy. If he were call
ed upon to name the greatest danger
that threatened the Democratic party
of Georgiaat the present lime, his an
swer would be “over-confidence.” Our
dott to-day is to renew our fealty to
the Democratic party, and go forth

RESOLUTIONS UPON THE DEATH OP SEN
ATOR HILL
The following preamble and reso
lutions offered by Capt. Kingsberry, of
Brooks, wcic
rising vote:
gressional District of Georgia last met
in convention, the Hon. B. H. Hill has
been called from the chamber of the
IT. S. Senate to a membership of the
“white robed throng” above. And,
Whekeas, The people of Georgia
have contested with each other in ex
pressions of regret at his death, and of
recognition of his services to grand
old Georgia. And,
Whereas, When, eight'years ago,
this district was in Radical chains, and
the Macedonian cry, “Come ovei and
help ns,” went up, then this peerless
orator came to our rescue. And,
Whereas, We, of t! is district, are
to-day living under the pleasantshade
of the redemption, to the accomplish
ment of which this honorable states
man contributed so much. Therefore,
be it
Sesolved 1st, That while we, in
common with the whole people of
Georgia, deplore the loss to the com
monwealth of our statesman, our
defender and our representa
tive; yet, lemcmhering his
great and invaluable services to this
District and this section, we can but
believe we feel in this mysterious dis
pensation of an All-wise Being a
deeper grief and more unspeakable
deprivation than can possibly be ex
perienced by those feeling no such
burdens of obligations and enjoying
no such relief as came to tl i3 district
from the creation of Iris brain and
upon the utterances of his tongue
now stilled for ever.
Resolved 2nd, That we unite with
oar brethren of the State in all homage
to his memory; that in our every heart
we will cherish his many virtues, and
keep fresh and beautiful garlands of
gratitude for his unequaled efforts iu
the enfranchisement of our district and
section.
Resolved 3rd, That we sympathize,
in everything the word imparls, with
all Georgians in this, our common loss,
and especially with the family of onr
departed friend and defender in, this
sad bereavement; and that we can form
no expressions adequate to the full
ness of our hearts, or that can do jus
tice to the subject of this memorial.
Resolved 4th, That the secretary
furnish a copy of these resolutions to
Ihe family of Hon. B. H. Hill, and that
all Democratic papers he requested to
publish the same.
After the adoption of the above res
olutions the convention adjourned
sine die.
GIRLS AT GREENBRIER.
Wherein the Northern Specimens
Differ from Those ol the Sunny
Sonlh.
Greenbrier Letter to the Richmond Letter.
Riding does not find much patron
age except from Northern guests,
who think this is the thing to do
when they conic in this chivalrous
section. The Northern young lady
is, in the main, a tennis player, prac
tical, of good figure, healthful, not
pretty, but attractively interesting
in feature. She has learned to think
of Southern young women as being
the prize of tournament riders and
as being the easy-going beauty, soft
in texture of skin, slow in graceful
movement, yet impulsive and reck-
less'ili daring epor', and ready at all
times to mount a racer, be he ever so
hoyden and limber-limbed. This
the Northern young lady is not slow
to imitate, though, pci haps, she can
never imitate it passably. If she
would by turn dress in matronly
black, wear her hair old, read nov
els aud play tennis in a practiced,
athletic kind of a way, she would
appear much more naiurul and in
taste.
In tact, in a contrast between
North and South, it is not to be for
gotten that the one is thickly settled,
devoting its time to manufacture
aud mercantile pursuits, ignoring
from necessity of saving time all
else save the main chance. They
meet one another so often at the
North that a conventional mode of
greeting is found that to the South
erner living iu an agricultural dis
trict some distance from ills neigh
bor would appear perhaps brusque.
For in the nature of things they can
not see one another often, aud there
fore Ihe hand is warmer in the shake
and the bow lower and more hearty
the meeting. As long as the
South has large area and few manu
facturers or trained laborers so long
will there be the means of outdoor
pleasure created by the reaction
from idleness that'is incident to
country livery. Thus it is, perhaps,
that fine horses prevail, and thus it
is that duels prevail. Wherever
horses are the companions of the
people, there romance must live.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NINTH
SENATORIAL CONVENTION.
For Farm BoyW to Learn.
From a Western paper we extract
the following practical remarks;
they will be very useful to every one
on a farm: How many of the boys
who read this paper could “lay off”
an acre of ground exactly, provid
ing one of the dimensions was given
(hem ? Now, “Hoe Handle’’ likes to
be useful, and I have taken some
pains to make out a table, and I
would like to have every one of the
farm boys learn it. There are 160
square rods in an acre, and there are
30% square yards in one rod. This
gives 4,840 square yards in one
acre.
5 yards wide by 968 yards long is
1 acre.
10 yards wide by 484 yards long is
1 acre.
20 yards wide by 242 yards long is
1 acre.
40 yards wide by 121 yards long is
1 acre.
80 yards wide by 60% yards long
is 1 acre.
70 yards wide by 69% yards long
is 1 acre.
60 yards wide by 80% yards long
is 1 acre.
Again allowing nine square feet
to the yard, 272% square feet to the
rod, 43.560 square feet to Ihe acre
and we have another table:
110 feel by 369 feet—1 acre.
120 feet by 363 feet—1 acre.
220 feet by 198 feet—1 acre.
240 feet by 181^ feet—1 acre.
440 feet by 90 feet—1 acre.

Don’t Varutili Church Seats.
There was the queerest scene at
one of the churches on a recent Sun
day, says the Milwaukee Sun. It
seems that during the recent vaca
tion the seats had been newly var
nished,.and somehow the varnish
was not right, as it was terribly
sticky. You know wheu you pull
anything off of sticky varnish that
it cracks. Well, the audience had
all got seated, when the minister got
np to give out the hymn, and as the
basement of his trousers let loose of
the varnish of his chair there was a
noise like the killing of a fly on the
wall with a palm leaf fan. The min
ister looked around at the chair to
see if he was all present, and that
no guilty man’s pants had escaped,
and read the hymn. The choir rose
with a sound of revelry, and after
the tenor had swallowed a lozenge
and the bass bad coughed np a piece
of frog-, and the alto had hemmed,
and tho soprano bad shook out her
polonaise to see if the varnish had
showed on the south side, the audi
ence began to rise. One or two
deacons got up first, with sounds
like picket firing in the distance on
the eve of battle; and then a few
more got up, and tho rattling of the
unyielding varnish sounded as
though the fight was becoming more
animated, and then the whole audi
ence got on its feet at once with a
sound of rat’Iing musketry. The
choir sang “Hold the Fort.’’ When
the orchestra had concluded the peo
ple sat down gingerly, the services
were short, aud all went home pray
ing for the man who had paiatedthe
scats.
