open attempt before the republican con
vention, led by the venerable Mr. Nor
croas, who, remembering his own fate
when opposing Governor Colquitt four
yean ago, felt a sympathy for Mr. Nor
wood. The*result of thst attempt to
bolster the failing cause has been writ
ten in these columns. It was received
ith shouta of indignation and
laughter—was oppose/1 by every
speaker who folio wed finding
not a single advocate and was finally
tabled by a vote of 7J to 9. Thus ended
the attempt to bag the republican vote
for Mr. Norwood—and thus perished the
last ray of hope of a candidacy conceived
blindners and folly, headed by a weak,
ambitious man,, and doomed from its
birth to sorrow and tribulation.

of the state? It is not absolutely necessary
to Governor Colquitt’s election that they
should, but, by George! we want to make
the boom as big as poas-ible.
It is a greet relief to know the circu9 i>
coming. The great democratic party
Georgia can harmonise on the circus; that
is to ay, unless Editor Moore, of Augusta,
uses his influence to make Norwood men of
the elephants.
Wa are much obliged to the polite crowd
in Mac >n which lifted up its voice to pre
vent free discussion. Such conduct gives
the people an idea of the tactics of the Nor
wood party. Knowledge of tins sort amounts
to votes for Colquitt.
Tiik only thing that prevents Editor Lew

heading a dozen Colquitt men is the fear
that he would he turned out of Sunday

the “convict catechism,”, a id he will no
doubt be distressed to learn that bis friends

combat deepens.
We have received from a friend in Au
gnsta the following note bearing date of
{September 7, 1HJ40:
KoirnaaCoasmuno*: The following
calved ycsteiday:
“New Yota. September 4, WR-Will you lie

It is difficult to perceive how even the
purposes of partisanship can lie sub
served by such a foolish lie aa the fore
going. On festival days and other holi
day o«*casions the federal flag is by far
the most conspicuous ornament to lie
seen in Atlanta. The military compa
nies carry the stars and stripes whenever
and wherever they please. No such in
cident as the one alluded to in the fore
going ever occurred or could occur
Atlanta. Indeed, the lie is so preposter
ous that it is scarcely worth correcting,
and we allude to the matter here in de
ference to the wishes of an esteemed cor
respondent who deems the story of suffi
cient importance to demand a correction.
We have long ago given up all hope of
keeping up with the versatile republican
liars who are now braying in every nook
ami corner of the north. It is not at all
surprising that these lies are told, but
is somewhat mortifying to know that
men who are supposed to be reasonably
intelligent can be influenced by them.

The first session of the new parliament
was brought to an end on Tuesday in the
usual style. The speech of the good
queen, which was read by commission,
contains the usual platitudes, without of
course touching the real question thst is
disturbing England. Mr. Gladstone pre
sents in its very creditable list of achieve-
menfs, but he does not and really could
not refer to the strife between republi
canism and imperialism. And yet
no one knows better then the illus
trious premier the nature and extent of
the struggle. This st rugate came near,
during the discussions of the session
over the bills proposed for the relief of
Ireland, assuming an active and open
form. The Ionia showed a very plain
disposition to stand by their order. They
derive their titles and power from the
crown. They stand for imperialism in
this struggle, as plainly as the Bonai«rt-
ists do in Frances the conservatives iu
Germany. The members of the house
of commons—that is, the portion that
controls the action of the body—repre
sent the people by whom they were
choeen, and upon whom they depend.
One house, therefore, in this crisis
works for government by the
people for the people, while
ihe other stands up for the crown from
which it derives its immense privileges.
The contest is as clearly between the
people and the crown, between republi
canism in all essential respects and im
perialism, as a contest can well lie. It
does not assume this shajie in form and
name, but in reality it means just this
and nothing else.
All English leaders foresee the nature
of the struggle, which is beginning to
assume definite shape. Lord Bencons-
lield saw it when he advised the lords to
concentrate their strength instead of
frittering it away on immaterial matters.
The crafty old politician sees the coming
of the great constitutional struggle, ami
ho welcomes it bccanse he desires
to charge the liberals with
attempt to break down the monarchy.
He desires to alarm the conservative
spirit of the country by crying that “the
crown is in danger.” The plain talk in
the house of commons during the late
session in relation to the obstructive
course of the house of lords will be used
against the iilierals; but Mr. Gladstone
is no novice in politics, and while he wifi
undoubtedly press measure after meas
ure of reform, each in the interest of
the people, yet he will doubtless
tako good care not to alienate
the conservative portion of the liberal
party. He will oppose without end the
reactionary peers; h« will help the work
ing classes of both England and Ireland;
he will endeavor to make education, il
not suffrage, more nearly universal in
the kingdom, but be will not give his op
ponents any real basis upon which to set
up a cry of treason. He is too old a
leader, too great a man, to be canght in
any such a trap. But just the same will
the straggle go on, and in the long ran
either government by the people «.i gov
ernment by the privileged class must
prevail. The long-standing compromise
between the two cannot endure, because
the interests involved are wholly differ
ent and irreconcilable.
early days of Judge Warner. Yet, inas
much as it is impossible for the legisla
ture to know wbat the wants of the state
might be at some moment when the gen
eral assembly is not in session, it has
always been the custom to appropriate
a considerable amount as a contingent
fund, from which the governor can draw
to meet the exigency; and thus it is that
lawyers employed by the state have
been paid tLeir fees out of this fund.
It is seldom that appropriations
have been made by the legislature for
the compensation oi lawyers who have
served the state. This has been the
practice, and if Judge Warner had looked
into the matter, he would have spared us
the painful dtry of calling attention to
the blind partisan rage which has ltd
him to charge Governor Coiquiit with
violating his oath of office. A plain
statement of the law and the facts leaves
Judge Warner with nothing bat his zeal
to lean upon.

The latest reports from Afghanistan
show that General Roberts completely
crushed the large force of hill men and
half-civilized soldiers from Cabal, Herat
and Ghazni that Ayoob Khan had suc
ceeded in gathering. After the battle the
Afghans were pursued as long as they
maintained any sort of organization. The
larger part fled up the Argandab valley,

Cabul. These men will doubtless sur

Khan and a small force will doubtless
try to reach Herat, where the manner of
his reception is very uncertain. What
General Roberts will now do—whether
be will march on Herat, or hold Can da

disclosed. Only two things are clearly es

The Albany Advertiser, quoting an ed
itorial that appeared in The Constitution
on the occasion of Mr. Norwood’s retire
ment from the senate, says that “some
“mysterious power or influence has pro-
“duced a wonderful change in certain
“newspapers in this state.” The edito
rial in question has t>een quoted in other
newspapers devoted to the interests of
the Norwood party, so that the moment
seems auspicious to say that whatever
change has occurred has been confined
exclusively to Mr. Norwood. That gen
tleman is not at present engaged in re
tiring from the senate. He is endeavor
ing to widen the breach and increase the
dissensions that now exist in the demo

np strife where he ought to be endeavor

to u*urp the place of the very qualities
for which The Constitution commended
him when he figured before the country
as a retiring senator. It is Mr. Norwood
who has changed and not The Constitu

is one person, and Mr. Norwood, the dis
organized is another. What we said of
Mr. Norwood in the editorial quoted
by his organs was ressonably true
when it was written. There is some ex
aggeration of statement in the article
owing to the fact that the young man
who had the matter in hand approached
the subject in the spirit and with all the
latitude of an obitnarian. Otherwise,
the editorial seems to be a very fair pro
duction from a literary point of view. It
is to be regretted, nevertheless, that Mr.

New York, September 8.—A Herald
special front St Augustine says of the
late wreck of the steamer City of Vera Crux:
The pilots of SL Augustine, of which
there are five, were the first that discovered
that the wreck had occurred and w hat wes
of more consequence to them was the vast
amount of freight already beached and
more coming. They at once formed them
selves into a joint stork company for a time
aad went for that freight with
a vim, August 30 and 31 they kept the
matter of the wreck a profound secret, and
it was a secret wrll kept, for ii was not un
til the night of the 3i*t uf Augu*l that the
. ews reached the city. In the meantime
our industrious pilots had worked both day
and night like beavers, having entire pos
session of both beach and cargo. They
managed to have many a goodly pile stored
up at different points of the beach worth
thousands of dollars. Several trunks be
lonrin* to the ill-fated passengers came
ashore in good order, only to bs broken open
and rifled. One evidently belonged to a
lady of wealth, for it was filled with costly
silk dresses and clothing of the fi ie>t order,
and laces worth many dollar. A gold
watch and chain, also two valasb e br co-
lets were found in ibis trunk iu another
trunk starve picket book wed lilted witli
bills was found by these foriuoate pHo’S.
In fact, (hey had a “bonanza, ’ *iul:h*y
worked it fur all it was worth, having gold
watches, diamonds, well tilled wallets,
c hI orate clothing, and many ions of val
uable freights aa their reward.
Indeed, the latter wa* in such
vast proportions that teams were enipl* yed
for several ‘lays if. hauling their find, ai d
large lighters were fitted w th | ruduc*. A-*
be'orc Mined, th- secret was faithfully
kept Monday «nd Tuesday, but when tlm
matter eake'd out late Tuesday night, the
wl-ole tity was alive with excitement.
Every body that had a I>oat or could borrow
one or preVa one into service, hied away to
the tca h. Nor was this wrecking fever
con fried to minorcati or negro, hut hn-di ess
men and clerks for the time tun ed

anxious hunters for the cast-up treasures of
the &ea Several bodies were washed tuhore.
After being inspected arid plui dtred, they
were buried in the sand on the beach. The
