The 85lb Dltirlct.
Our Democratic friends in the 35th Besato-
riftl District have, alter much tribulation, suc
ceeded in (-electing a candidate for the Stale
8> nate. Mr. Oeo. Hillyer, the nominee, baa, we
believe, always acted with the Democratic
party; though he has never been quite io
technical as some ol the more advanced apostles
ol the modern “Democracy.”
For instance, we do not understand Mr. Hil
lyer to assnme the position that the Heconstrac-
non »cts are “ unconstitutional, null and void,”
or that the XIVth and XVth Amendments have
no binding lorce in law. We have never
understood Inal Mr. Uillyer would advocate tbe
repeal of the Reconstruction Acta, or the
rescinding of the constitutional amendments.
In a word, be has been regarded as a conserva
tive man; but not sufficiently conservative to
make an effort to “conserve” the dogma of
Slate Sovereignty, the constitutional right of
Secession, or the black code of Georgia in defi
ance of Congress. He perhaps belongs to that
intelligent class of “ Democrats” whose better
judgment and instincts are Republican, hat
whose sympathies and associati. ns are Demo>
cratic. Ilia name appears among others of this
city in the act ol Congress relieving certain
politicians of all political disabilities, and he is
therefore thgihle, should he be elected, which
we rigird as very doubtlul. Whilst therefore
we pn ter, and expect to elect, an out and out
Kepub ican, we must admit, nevertheless, that
Uillyer is not so objectionable as one might

A Home School of InSaMry for ClrJo.
A very estimable and intellectual lady has
called oar attention to a very important sugges
tion, concerning a home school of industry lor
girls, which appeared in a communication to the
Era one day last week, and from which we make
the following extract:
“We have always felt the want of a training
school, where girls might perfect themselves in
any department of industry, art, science or lit
erature, as their circumstances or taste*might
prompt. At no period in the history of our
country have the women experienced the neces
sity of a practical training, as at present, when
so many of them are dependent upon their in
dividual resources for maintenance. The exi
gency of the times demand a different system of
education from that heretofore panned. In the
instruction of our girls we want far more that
is practical, less, much less of that extravagance
of idea and habit which generally prevails.—
Whether relying npon their daily laber for sup
port, elevated to the dignity of mistress of a man
sion, women are alike dependent upon a practi
cal knowledge of domestic, or in other words
home duties, if they would secure tbe com
forts and happiness resulting from a well order
ed household. In view ot opening more ave
nues of industry to women, as well as a more
thorough training in the different branches al
ready obtained, we suggest the importance of
establishing the above named school in or near
the city. Within the last year we have confer
red with Borne of the thinking minds, and many
intelligent business men on the advantages to
be derived from a school ol industry, arts and
science, where girls may receive a thorough,
practical business training. Alter hearing tbe
outline of the plan ot instruction and system oi
training to be pursued at such an institution, it
invariably received their highest commendation
cu instances.
Wk cup tiie poiikooi.no trom the Ntxo Era
of yesterday morning. the article, in our
judgment, does Maj. IIillyek injustice, for it
represents him as entertaining opinions the op-
posile ol those embraced in the National and
Btate Democratic plain.ims, both of which may
lm found on tbe lourtb page ot this paper, and
uh be is the nominee oi the Democratic party ot
ibis senatorial district, having sought and being
urged for it as a Democrat, and not as one who
merely sympathized with the prrty, but whose
" belli r jud,-/merit and inter exit are Republican"
we cannot Jet the Era's views puss without dis-
heuting trom them, aud we trust that Maj. Hil-
i.yiiii will hlmscll give them denial,or authorize
it to I hi done in the Democratic papers ol this
senatorial district.
i*oll«-y »«. Principle.
From an article in the Home Commercial
beaded us .drove, we clip the following truthful
exposition of what the Democratic I’artyever
lots bc< u, and what in our judgment it must
continue to be, else tbe organization can be ol
no eei vice to the State as such, or to the coun
try at large.
“ Tbe Democratic organization—pure Jefler-
sonian Democracy, never had a policy unless
that policy was so closely allied to principle
that they could not be conira-distmguished.”
“ The Democracy have gained all their suc
cesses in the past by firmly placing themselves
upon principle and maintaining that principle
tielore the people with so much honesty as to
admit ot no doubt as to the position assumed
and of their determination to maintain that
principle.
“The policy ol the parly in the good old daya
was to plant itselt upon the eternal principles
of right against wrong, and make the fight with
the assurance of success.
“ Democracy has not changed—it has not dc-
teiiorated—it 1ms not surrendered any of its
time-tried and tune honord principles—it is the
sHine to-day that it was ten, twenty, or thirty
years ago it is as full ot life and as able to
cope wi h the political organizations opposed to
it now, as it was then. Democracy never beg
ged a question, or avoided tbe enunciation ol a
principle—it was ever ready to meet its op|>o-
nenls on the stump, or at the baliol box, and
there liy to and receive the verdict of the people
upon any question or principle."
it is here we stand in the approaching elec
tion. Upon this lock we plant ourself and the
Intelligencer. We shal> yield no Demo
cratic principle lor a policy that conflicts with it;
and lie who is a candidate for election, even
though he may be the nominee of a Democratic
met ting, that docs not stand upon this platlorm,
will not receive the support ot Uns journal.

of the counties ot Cobb, Fulton and Clayton,
comprising the 36ili Senatorial District ol this

the purpose of selecting a candidate to repiesent

were chosen the candidate ol the Democratic
party for that position, and the undersigned weie
appointed a committee to commun cate to yon
the action ol the convention, and request your
acceptance ol the candidacy to which you have
dins been called.
Hoping that you will allow the party thus to
use your name, and trustiug that your nomina

the ballot box.

Gicntlkmi n —Your letter of this date inform
ing me of my nomination as the Democratic
candidate (or Senator, trom the Thirty fitlb
Senatorial lbs' net, ha- just been handed me.
lm|K>rtaut and grave icsjvoncibilities must rest
upon all members ol the next Geutral Assembly.
Abuses have grown to large- proportions iu the
uilairs of the State,and it not arrested, will bring
bankruptcy and ruin.
I would not disparage those good aud true
Democrats now in office, who have done what
they could to stem the current of wrong; but
from the next General Assembly the people will
expect much—wifi not be satisfied with any
small results, and will visit indignation upon
such ot its members as bring disappointment
and lailure.
I feel deeply grateful to the convention, and
to the Democracy of tho district, tor the confi
dence implied by their selecting me as a candi-
dalaatancha.time. ... ....
In politics having ever been a Democrat, I am
firmly persuaded that the only satety and hope
ot the country lies in the success ot the Demo
cratic party; and I am one ot those Democrats
who when overruled in the counsels of tbe party
on questions ot expediency, or in the selection of
candidates, have tor the sake ot unity and suc
cess, cheerfully yielded any personal preference
—standing square on the platform and voting
the nominated ticket At this lime when the
public peril is so great, and success of sach
paramount consequence, unity and harmony
are, If possible, m&ft IBatf evffl* important
With the associations and experiences ot the
past nay, moved by the very instincts of my
nature, I can but feel proud to be called to bear
a standard in the coining contest, and shall
devote to the cause the best energies at my
command With diffidence in view ol the grave
responsibilities involved, but animated by a
firm resolve to do my whole duty it elected, i
accept the nomination.
Thanking you lor the courteous manner in
which vou have communicated the action ot
the convention.
I re-'lilill very lespi fully,
1* our obuiicut servant,
George Hillyer.
f that wheuever we were ready to begin the work
of building up a Home School, they would
cheerlully give their aid and influence. With
such assurances from so high a source, we have
every reason to believe in the success of those
who propose to go lorward in the work.”
These views will doubtless commend them
selves to the favorable consideration of every
intelligent and thinking man in this communi
ty, and if such an institution conld be put in
practical operation in or near Atlanta, it
would do more good than any other educational
enterprize for girls yet conceived of or in actual
operation. “ Female Education” iu the 86uth
must be other than it was previous to the late
war. It must be of a more i>ructical character,
designed to make good housewives, a3 well as
to enrich the mind, the ornamental or fashion
able part of it being instead ol the first, as it has
bceD, the last consideration. The white women
of the ifoulh Lave now to depend upon them-
selves, and not ujion negro servants, in whom
there is no dependence for house keeping, else
there will be but lew comfortable homes. Every
department of industry connected with this
should be taught, and every facility provided
for it that may he deemed essential. We are
gratified that the lady referred to haa called
the attention, in the manner she has done, of
our citizens, to the enterprize she proposes to
inaugurate; and we shall be ever ready to give
to her, and those who may be connected with
her in it, such aid, through the columns of this
press, as may be needed to render it successful.

A Ghostly Talo.
Residents of the Lower Road, town of Wa-
wayanda, about a mile and a halt from Gardner-
ville, and in the vicinity of what was formerly
known as Rudium’s lime kiln, have been consid
erably excited lor the past lew weeks by a ball
of fire which has been seen at. difierent times of
night and in difierent localities within the radius
ot halt a mile. To more fully understand the
stories in relation to it and to give the credulous
room to strip the narrative of its superstitious
features, it is necessary to mention that a certain
family in the neighborhood has been sorely
afflicted within a year past by the visitation ol
death; first tbe mother then a daughter, the
lather aud tbe two remaining daughters—the
latter two dying within a year or so ot one
another — and all three of the daugh
ters taken in the prime ot young wo
manhood, idolized by their family and loved by
all lor their gentle qualities of heart. We
would not pain the remaining members of the
family thus referred to by mention of their
affliction, but for the puipose, as above stated,
of giving to superstition the credit of a fair por
tion of the tales told, such as, that one person is
said to have seen a light iu every window ol
the house on a certain night, and another saw
the ligtn at another time approach the house
and apparently enter a window. Such tales are
told, and, of course, among the superstiliously
inclined, are attributed to the domestic affliction
of the family. The point we wish to impress
here is that such interpretations of the character
ot the phenomenon are entirely out of
place and unjust- A part . ot
the house at the time referred
to, and could be easily explained in various
ways, such as a person going from one room to
another. A young man, son of a well-known
gentleman who lesidtd in the vicinity, while
driving along the road one evening, saw the
light approaching in a direct line toward him,
and he expected to come in contact with it, but
disappeared when within a lew feet ot him.
This person is not naturally of a timid disposi
tion, but was thoroughly terrified, and drove
into a neighbor’s yard, intending to stop at the
house until daylight, but finding that they had
retired for the night, put the whip to his horse
and went home, where he arrived iu a state ot
terror ana left his horse standing at the door for
another member ot the family to unhitch. This
is bat an instance of similar experience by seve
ral.
It is not a story fold by children or weak-
minded grown-up persons alone, but qualified
by persons ot mature age—not by two or three,
but many—in whose minds superstition never,
until the occurreme.nfthe events described, had
an abiding place or even a temporary hold. It
is no trick of a mischievous person, as it has
been closely approached, and proved to be
simply a strange, wierd-looking light, unaccom
panied by human agency, coming and going
apparently at tho hid ot some unseen power.
Thoughtful and sensible persons are astounded
at its freaks and ghostly character—persons
who have laced. death unflinchingly quail be-
lore this a undering, curious, spirit-like taper as
it moves bare and there about the highway and
over fields aad fences, seemingly an uneasy
visitant from the spirit- world, mocking the mor
tals of Uiis muudiuni sphere.
Tlie Horror* of War.
The following is a translation of tbe text cl
the Duke ol Fitz-James’ letter on tbe burning
of RumiIIm, addressed to the London Times in
French. The Duke of Fitz James, it may be
observed, is neither a Napoleonist nor a Repub
lican. He is the head of the semi-royal family
of the Eitz-Jameses, descandants of the great
Marshal Duke of Berwick, the son of James II,
of England:
Sir—I have come from Sedan. Since we left
Chalons I have not quitted our. courageous
though unfortunate army. Charged, in compa
ny with tbe Prince of Sagan, with the duty of
placing the ambulances ot the International So
ciety for aiding the wounded wherever they
might best render the services which entitled
them to general gratitude, I have seen every
field of battle from Beaumont to Sedan, npon
which our soldiers, crushed by numbers, have
fallen gloriously for France. I might, sir, give
a long mournful recital of all that I have seen ;
but in the face oi the new dangers which men
ace my country, I will only speak of what took
place at Bazeilies. I wish to utter but one cry
of indignation. Bazeilies is near the Meuse,
about eight kilometers from Sedan. On the
evening of August 31, the brave villagers, seeing
the enemy arrive assumed their uniforms
as National Guards, and aided the
army in their defense against a Bavarian corps
and against the Division Shaeler oi Erfurt, ot
the Fourth corps ol the Prussian Reserve. The
French army was repulsed. The enemy enter
ed Bazeilies, and then began scenes of horror
and of excess without name, which stain tetwv-
er those who commit them. The Bavarians
and Prussians.-to punish the inhabitants for de
fending themselves, set fire to the village. The
greater portion ot the National Guards were
killed; the population had taken refuge in the
cellars; women and children all were burned;
of two thousand souls, scarcely three hundred
are left, who tell how they saw Bavarians push
ing whole families into the flames and shooting
women who ran away. I saw with mine own
eyes the smoking ruins of this wretched village;
there is not a single house standing. A stench
of burnt human flesh makes the stomach re
volt. I have seen the bodies ot the inhabitants
calcined on their door-steps. This, Mr. Editor, I
cannot allow to remain unknown. War has its
rigors, but it also has its rules based on the
laws of honor and humanity. Those laws, you
Bavarians; you Prussians who were at Bazeilies,
have been violated by you. You have dis
graced your victory. I appeal to the would, to
history, to judge you. I ask whether you have
the right to lay down a principle that you may
slaughter the women and children of a village
whose inhabitants, seeing you arrive, defend
tbeir homes and their country. In every case
the National Guard is a regular troop, as regu
lar as the fourth and fiiUi ban of your Land-
wher.

Tho Time lor AUveriialug.
The Columbus Enquirer, referring to tbe ap
proaching Fair in that city, contains the follow
ing sensible views on advertising, which we
commend to the consideration ot the business
men ot Atlanta, in view ol the approaching
State Fair:
“ Some folks say there is no use advertising in
flush times, lor then everybody gets all the trade
they want anyhow. They say in stringent
times like the present, it won’t pay, and we
can’t afford it. We think all times good, but
particularly when business is dull and money
scarce. As it is likely that we Bhall have a
large influx of strangers here during the Fair, it
behooves our merchants and business men to
begin to aisplay their cards, so that what they
have and are may be read and known of au
men. But few business houses in Columbus (or
Atlanta) are advertising as yet, and these lew
we commend to the liberal patronage of friends
far and near. Look over the list."
Judge Reese Decline*.
We notice in the Augusta Constitutionalist
that Judge Reese declines to accept the nomi
nation as a candidate for Congress, which was
recently conferred upon him by the Democratic
Convention held in his congressional district.—
With that paper, “ we regret this action on the
part of Judge Reese,” and are sure the entire
Democracy of the State, as well as of his dis
trict, will regret it also, notwithstanding the fact
that the district has many others in it, true men
and able on< s, upon some one of whom the honor
of bearing the Democratic standard in the ap
proaching Congressional election, may be con-
terred, leeling that it will be bravely and suc
cessfully borne.
Saving Seed Corn.....
Georgia farmers would do well to heed the
following timelyjadvice, which wee see given in
one of our Westirn exchanges :
•• In busking corn, when the work has not
bc*n done el< re, it will pay a farmer well to
8 ive some ol tbe best ears as he goes along tor
seed In this way he gets the finest ears of the
whole field; whereas, by neglecting to preserve
the finest ears in tbe fall, and waiting till spring
to sort them out ot the crib, the quantity to se
lect from is greatly diminished, and aa good ears
cannot be obtained. It is well to obtain lor
peed those ears that ripen earliest and thoae that
are the most solid, the most regular and the best
filled out at both ends. Let no farmer who
wishes to do well in the cultivation ot this great
crop neglect to use care ip selecting seed. Much
ads upon this.’' >
ExPLoixa-Cur. a Drunken Engineer.—The
Tallahassee Sentinel relates the following inci
dent :
Tho engineer of the freight train on the Jack
sonville, Pensacola and Mobile railroad going
west on Wednesday morning last—a man named
Drew—was so much under the influence of
liquor by the time lie reached Baldwin that tbe
conductor, Mr. Tuten, did not consider it sale
to allow him to proceed further and therefore
procured the services of another engineer. Drew
however, remaining on the engine. W lien the
train arrived at Sanderson, the acting engineer
left the engine tor some purpose, when Drew,
still drunk, cut loose trom the train and put out
with the engine at lightning speed, leaving en
gineer, fireman, conductor and all behind. As
he neared Lake City, the section hands work
ing on the road scattered pell-mell into the
woods, lrightened out of their wits at the tre
mendous speed the engine was running. The
agent at Lake City, 'when asked about it, said
the engine was running' about one huudred
miles an hour, aud mere was a man aboard,
but be was certainly crazy I
Further west a gentleman saw the engine
pass, bnt could discover no one on her, and said
he was very much alarmed, but presently be
saw a hand go up and then he knew there was
some kind of a human on board. Drew thun
dered along at this dangerous speed until he
reached Eliaville, where be came near colliding
with an eastward bound treight train. The
master machinist, Mr. Kennedy, happened to be
here, and ejecting the maniac engineer from the
engine took charge of it himself.
Fortunately tor Mr. Tuten, he fonnd another
engine at Sanderson, with which he came
through to Lliaville. At or near Olustee the
body of a man was discovered 1) ing on the track,
but too late to prevent the train lrom passing
over it, and crushing it to pieces. The body
proved to be that ol Mr. Brannon,, who, when
last seen, was wending his way homeward with
a sacked flour on his shoulder. The front of 1
Drew’s engine is stud to have been covered with
flour, and it is thought he must have run over
Brannon, but how the body got back on the
track in the position it was when run over the
second time, is a mystery not yet solved.
Drew was promptly discharged by the officials
here, and haa left for parts unknown.

Memphis, October 4.—A Republican ma—
meeting to appoint delegates to the convention
met at the Opera House last night. About 2000
persons, principally colored, present. Owing
to the division in regard to Smith and Nunn,

vailed, one hundred, at least, being on the stage,
each one trying to speak. Knives and pistols

That the world is a progressive one, and
that startling inventions meet our view almost

those who by their inventions notnonly add to

tainly public benefactors. We can safely say,
Messrs, Cately Brothers, of New York, (the
largest importers and manufacturers of watches
in this country,) have achieved a miracle in their
recent discovery of a combination ot chemicals
and materials, that compose a beautiful metal,
that actually supplies the placeoi Pure-Gold
in point ot brilliancy of color, weight, and
durability in wear.. It so nearly approaches
that costly metal, that there is no perceptible
difference, save in cost, and from this, which
they have veiy properly named the Cately Gold
Metal, they have commenced manufacturing a
new and beautiful style oi reliable watches and
chains at remarkably low prices. Tbeir watches
have been highly recommended tor years, tb
first-class in all respects, by Government -and
Railroad Officials, and are destined to be used
by every one who prizes a well regulated and
correct time keeper Frank. Leslie’s Illustrated,
of August 22d,Justly says:, “ Cately Brothers
have combined two very desirable things m a
watch,'cheapness and' durability; whee it is

The National Democratic PJalli
The following is the platform adopted by the
National Democratic Convention vwmfflrri in
New York, July, 1S6S:
The National Democratic party, in National
Convention assembled, reposing its trust in tbe
intelligence, patriotism and discriminating jus
tice oi the people, standing upon the Constitu
tion as the foundation and limitation of the pow
ers of the government and the guarantee of the
liberties ot the citizen, and recognizing the ques
tion ol slavery and secession as having been set
tled for all time to come by the war oi the vol
antary action of the Southen States in Consti
tutional Convention assembled^ sad never to be
renewed or re-agitated, do, with the return of
peace, demand—
I 1st. The immediate restoration of all the States
to their rights in the Union under the Constitu
tion, and oi civil government of the Ainwkan
people.
2d. Amnesty for all past political offenses, and
the regulation of the elective franchise in the
States by the citizens, and the payment ot the
public debt of the United Stales as rapidly as
practicable.
3d. All money drawn from tbe people by tax
ation, except so much as is required for the ne
cessities of the Government economically ad
ministered, to be honestly applied to sach pay-
"inent, and where the obligations of the Gov
ernment do not expressly state upon their face,
or the law nnder which they were tened does
not provide that they shall be paid in coin, they
ought, in right and justice to be paid in the law'
fol money of the United States. [Thunders of
applause.]
4th. Equal taxation of every species af prop
erty, according to its real value, including Gov-
ennent bonds and other public securities.—
[Renewed cheering, and cries of “read it again.”]
5th. One currency for the Government ana
the people, the laborer and the office-holder, the
pensioner and the soldier, the producer sod the
bond-holder. [Great cheering, and cries of
“read it again.”]
The fittii resolution was again read and again
cheered.
6th. Economy in the administration of ttw
government; the reduction of the standing
army and nav the abolishment of the Freed-
men’s Bureau, (great cheers] and all political in
strumentalities designed to secure negro su
premacy ; the simplification of the system and
discontinuance of the inquisitorial boards of as
sessing and collecting internal revenue, so that
the burden of taxation may be equalized and
lessened, the credit of the Government and the
currency made good, the repeal of all enactr-
ments lor enrolling the State militia into nation
al forces in time of peace, and a tariff for reve
nae upon loielgn imports, and such equal taxa
tion under the internal revenue laws as will af
ford incidental protection to domestic manufac
tures, and as will, without impairing the revenue,
impose the least burden upon and best promote
and encourage the great industrial .interests of
the country.
7th. The reform of abases in the administra
tion, the expulsion of corrupt men from office,
the abrogation ot useless offices, the restoration
of rightful authority to and the independence of
the Executive and Judicial Departments of the
Government, the subordination of the military^
lothe civil power, to the end that the usurpa
tions of Congress and the despotism ot the sword
may cease.
8th. Equal rights and protection for natural
ized and native-born citizens at home and
abroad. The assertion ot American nationality,
which shall command the respect of foreign
powers, furnish an example and encouragement
to people struggling for national integrity, con
stitutional liberty, and individual rights, and the
maintenance of the rights of naturalized citizens
against the absolute doctrines oi immntable alle
giance, and the claim of foreign powers to pun
ish them for alleged crime committed beyond
their jurisdiction. [ Applause.]
In demanding these measures and reforms, we
arraign the Radical party tor the disregard of
right, and the unparalleled oppression and ty
ranny which have marked its career.
After the most solemn and unanimous pledge
oi both Houses U Congress to prosecute the war
exclusively for the maintenance of the govern
ment and the preservation of the Union nnder
the Constitution, it has repeatedly violated that
most sacred pledge under which was rallied that
nobler volunteer army which carried oar flag to
victory.
Instead of restoring the Union, It has, so far
as was in its power, dissolved it, and subjected
ten States in a time oi profound peace to mili
tary despotism and negro supremacy.
. It has nullified the right oi trial by jury.
It has abolished tho writ ot hitheaa corpus—
that most sacred writ ot liberty.
It has overthrown the freedom of speech and
of the press.
It has substitued arbitrary seizures and arrests
and military trials and secret starchamber in
quisitions lor constitutional tribunals.
It has disregarded in the time of peace the
right ol the people to be free from search and
seizure. «
It has entered the post and telegraph offices,
and even the private rooms of inaividnals, and
seized their private papers and lettera, without
any specification or notice or affidavit, as requir
ed by the organic law. .
It has converted the American capitol Into, a
baatile. - 11
It has established a system ol spire and offi
cial espionage to which no constitutional mon-..
archy oi Europe would now dare to rssort.
It has abolished the right of appeal in impel*
taflrconstitutional questions to toe supreme la-
(iicial tribunal, and threatens to curtail or de
stroy its original jurisdiction,‘which is irrevooa*-!. 4 .

Resolved, That in tne approaching State elec
tions the Democratic party cordially invites
everybody to co-operate with them in a zealous
determination to change, as tar as the several
elections to be held can do so, toe present tuur]>
ing and corrupt administration of the State Gov
ernment, by placing in power men who are true
to the principles ot constitutional Government
and to a taltofal«nd economical administration
of public affairs.
Resolved, That the President of the Conven
tion be instructed to appoint an Executive Com
mittee, composed of two from eacn Congres
sional District, who shall choose a chairman
from outside their own number with power on
their port to call a future Convention of the
Democratic party, and, with such other powers
as have usually exercised by Democratic Eecu-
tive Committees; their appointment to last un
til the assemblage ot the next Democratic Con
vention.
Resolved, That the people ot the several Con
gressional Districts meet in the Convention as
early as practicable, and at such times as may
soft thdir convenience, respectively, and organ
ize and prepare for the election of Representa
tives to the unexpired term ot the 41st Congress,
and also to the 42d Congress.
Resolved, That in addition to 'the returns of
the election, to be made as prescribed by law,
the managers be requested to give certificates of
election, to" 'Representatives aud Senators who
may be elected, to be used as evidence of their
election.
Resolved, That whatever policy others may
pursue^ we pledge ourselves to do all in our
power to secure a fall and fair election by all
who are qualified to vote under existing laws.
Judge Clarke read the resolutions, and stated
that he had been instructed by the Committee
to move the preyious question on their adoption.
The motion whs seconded and adopted, when
the resolutions were adopted as reported, with
out debate, and by an almost unanimous vote.

An Assault on the Commercial.—This
morning while we were enjoying the pleasure of
a cigar, and dreaming of the pleasure of our
chief, now that he has thrown off, tor a time,-his
incessant, our office was invaded by our clever
friend, Jack King, Express Agent, bearing a
package from that thriving, driving, energetic
and popular whisky-dealer, Kenny, of Atlanta,
and on opening it we found a bottle ot consider
able dimensions, filled with some of his choicest
old Cognac. We enjoyed it.
We at last surrender, unconditionally, to Ken
ny. He’s a trump and his brandy is ditto. Ken
ny will be here at the Fair, and will take part
in the tonrnament, and it our knights do not
look well to their laurels, he will take the prize
back to Atlanta.—Rome Commercial, 7 th.
We had no idea of the reconstructive qualities
of Kenny^s brandy until we read the above ar
ticle. Only a few weeks since this same jovial
fellow read Kenny a severe temperan ce lecture
but now it is,
Mike Kenny’a ate is never stale.
Nor on the stomach sour;
Hie brandy, too, will always do.

Oh, pass the jug around.
The local of toe Intelligencer referring
;yesterday morning to tbe Sun local says:
“Won’t some kina friend take him to church
to-day, and put him on a front seat? ’Tis a
pity to let talent “spile.” “Train him up in toe
way he shonld go,” etc. If it will be any satis
faction to him to know it, we will take pleasure
in informing him that we went to church yester
day, and while there the above paragraph from
the Intklligencbk came into our mind, and
suggested to us that chapter xxvi, verse 5, ot
Proverbs, would be a capital text lor a sermon
lor the edification of our neighbor, and we have
a good mind to preach it. At any rate we will
practice it.—Bun local yesterday.
Bully for you, neighbor. We acknowledge
the dog bUe. But seriously now, my dear boy,
if you intend to practice Biblical precepts, why
not inelode the Ten Commandments ? They
would improve you wonderfully. If the procla
mation of the freedom oi salvation can benefit
yon any, we would advise you to attend church
often. *■
Policelbts.—Before His Honor, the Mayor,
yesterday, appeared-a. motley crew of evil
doers, the basis o[ whose “devilment” was
“benzine ” of the meanest kind.
John Hunter—drunk, disorderly and using
profane language—was fined $5 and costs.
Batty Bass, a colored lass, was up for throw
ing “ saas ” and “ cuss words ” generally. Her
is continued.
Wm. Gaines—for doing'a little of everything
a walking barrel of whisky could suggest—paid
$5 and cost, and considered it cheap fun.
Martha Collier—public indecency—paid a
fine and costs.
Wesley Jackson, a “moke” of the first
water, for hooting and yelHng like a Camanche
Indian, paid coat and dried up.
Patrick Kennedy. an Italian fropi Cork, for
being stone blihd drunk, was fined $2 aud

Visitors to toe State Fair will each find a
toe Itfw price ot 25 cents a ride. There are now,
about QPO in Atlanta, and every little 15th
Amendment in Fulton county is busy fixing a
vehicle of some kind, nnder the impression that
a fortune can be made’ in a week, during the
Fur, by riding people at the above mentioned
price. Go it-Jehus, one vehicle to each man
will give all a fair chance.
His Honor, toe Mayor, is prompt in the dis
charge of the duties of his office. On Friday
night the Council authorized him to appoint
forth* different wards in the city, to
get-the names ot all families that would accom
modate visitors to the Fair. By 9, A. M., next
day, they were appointed and on duty. They
are, for the 1st ward, Mr. Levy; 2d, Mr. Fulla-
love; 3d, Mr. -Howell; 4th, Mr. Macklin; 5th,
Chief Justice has been subjected to great and
atrocious calumnies merely because he would
not prostitute his high office to the support ot
the false and partizan chargea preferred agaiaat
the President.
Its corruption and extravagance have exceed
ed anything known in history, and by its frauds
aud monopolies it has nearly doubled the bur-1
dens of debt created during the war. It has r
stripped the President ot his constitutional powr
er of appointment, even of his own cabinet.
Under its repeated assaults, tbe pillars of the
Government are rocking on their base, and,
should it succeed in November next, and inau
gurate its President, we will meet as a subject
and conquered people, amid the ruins of liberty
and the scattered fragments of the Constitution
and we do declare and resolve, that, ever since
the people of the United States threw off all aob- <
jection to the British Crown, the privilege of
trust and suffrage have belonged to toe several
-States, and have been granted, regulated, and
controlled exclusively by the political power ot
each State, and any attempt by Congressmen any
pretext whatever, to deprive any State of this
right, or interfere with its exercise, is a flagrant
usurpation oi power which can find no warrant
in the Constitution, and, ii sanctioned by.the
people, will subvert our form of government, and
can only end in a single, centralized, consolida
ted government, in which the seperate existence
of the Stales will be entirely absorbed and an
unqualified despotism be established in place of
a Federal Union of equal States.

Congress, so-called, as usurpations, unconstitu
