At the meeting of the Republican ciijr
contention of Philadelphia, on Tuesday
evening, resolutions indorsing the action
and pniirjr ol President Hayes were laid
upop the table. < . i .
Cou H. M. Drake has been ap
pointed acting superintendent pro
tern. of the Macon nnd Brunswick
Railroad, by the Direetora at thelr
meeting held in Macon on tho Ist
insf.
The Sumter Republican of Saturday
says that though gardens are parch
ed beyond reouperatlon, it learns
from farmers who visited its city last
week that tho Hold crop© are clean,
ready for tho rains, and suffering
very little from the drouth.
The editorial article headed “The
Action of the Candidates,’’ which ap
peared in our paper of Sunday, is re
published this morning because we
could not otherwise supply orders for
several hundred extra papers con
taining it.
The Carrollton Times learns that
while Mr. and Mrs. Vincent, of
Paulding county, were at supper one
uigbt last week, that some unknown
party fired at them with a gun, the
ball passing through Mr. Vtnoopye
arm, after which it struck Mrs. Yln
cent in the head, killing her almost
instantly. • / •

Ir is stated that Barnum has re
ceived an anonymous letter in reply
to his offer to pay >IO,OOO “and no
questions asked” for the return of
little Charley Iloss. The letter states
that the child can be returned by the
lstef July, but that Barnum’s offer
does not sufficiently protect the par
ties retaining hitn from punishment,
and tb© Governor of Pennsylvania
must proclaim immunity to all en
gaged in the abduction before any
steps will he taken to restore tfie
bnv. . *
A Wabhinoton dispatch to the Boston
Journal says: “The President, with con
currence of the Cabinet, has decided tore
call all foreiga ministers. This policy
was stated by Secretary Kvarts to Miuis
tcr Boker, whocalled to ask the reason of
his removal. The theory is that these
higher diplomatic officers sustain relations
to the President somewhat similar to
those of Cabinet Ministers ; that civil ser
vice roles do not apply to them, and that
they in the very nature of the ease ought
to change with the administration.”
The main question before the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of Ohio at its
meeting last yeefc, was whether It Should
call the State Convention before or after
that of tho Republicans; and thuntrongest
argument in favor of the early call was
tbt it would enable use Democrats to
anticipate the Republicans in declaring
in favor of the re-monetization of the sil
ver dollar. The Committee determined
in favor of holding the Convention on the
25th July, prior to that of the Republi
cans.
A very brutal murder was committed
in Mobile county, Ala., on Friday morn
ing last, by a young Swiss named Weid
erkelir, aged about 19 years. He had been
employed about a week by Mr. Fritz
Dabtn, an old German gardener. On
Friday he entered, the home and killed
Dabm with an axel He then went out
where Dalim’s son was, and told him that
the devil was in the house. Young Dahm
was at first frightened and ran off, but
returned with others, when they found
Weiderkehr still about the premises and
the old Man dying. Weiderhehr was ar
arrested, when he confessed the crime,
snd said that he did it to. get the old
Oman’s money.
The New York Tribune Insists on
tho prosecution of some Alabama
Democrats who have been charged
with fraud at tho elections of last
year. The oharges against thorn ure
very flimsy, and aro ovidotly
actuated by personal resentment.
But in Florida and Louisiana
the most Qiftrpgeotis frauds prac

which changed the true result

Wit regret to learn from tW coun
try that some voters are so incensed
at what they call “the nominations”
made here on Friday, or rather the
mod® of making them, that they talk
of opposing the Convention. There
is no reasou in the world why this
movement should have thip effect.
The question of anew Constitution is
too important a matter to be affected
by any personal lor

A DANKER TO RE AVERTED.
The Radical party are very adroitly
attempting to give such a turn to the
Constitutional Convention question
aa to effect their long-desired dlvis
ig 6t the Democratic \ party of
(jforifte. The letters of Messrs.
Akerman and Conley abow this, and
Um course which the party are pur
suing helps to confirm It. They are
not going to run candidates for the
Convention in many, if any, of the
districts. In a few of the districts
they will encourage Democrat* to
run 9n an opposition platform, with
a view of dividing the party. But
In districts which' are supposed to con
tain a majority of voters in favor of
a Convention, the policy of the oppo
sition party will be to run no candid
dates, believing that they will then
cast but light votes, and trusting that
heavy opposition votes elsewhere
will defeat the call of theCenvention.
There ki danger In this plan of
ope rations—not alone the danger that
the call of the Convention may be
thus defeated, but that it will create
permanent divisions in tho Demo
cratic party. We find at leust two of
the Democratio papers of the State
(the Maoen Telegraph and the Bain
brhige Democrat) attacking each
other’s Democracy or fidelity to the
party, because they differ In refer
ence to the call of the Convention
and the selection of delegates. Now
supposo that the Convention should
be defeated, and defeated by the joint
action of a Democratic minority and
a Republican majority. Intolerant
Democratic papers and politicians
will then be sure to assail the fidelity
of the Democrats who opposed the
call, and thus do what they can
to aggravate an alliance between
them and tho Republicans. The
question will be regarded as a still
unsettled one, aud so long os it Is
agitated the combination that de
feated the call may feel the necessity
of standing together for self-defence
and to combat another movement of
the kind. For this reason we want
the’question settled dow by tho call
of tho Convention and the ratifica
tion of its work.
This Conventloh questioa is in no
sense a party one, and no attempt
ought to he made to commit the
Democratic party to Us support. It
is purely a State question, and one
in which class prejudices and local
interests are euro to enter to some
extent. It ought to bo treated as an
independent episode in our political
contests, and so managed as to have
it finally disposed of at once, and
without estrangements which may
last aud be productive of mischief
hereafter.
THE ACTION OF THE CANUIHATEN.
This is the most common topic of
discussion on tho streets, and some
feeling has been elicited by it. A
number of correspondents have ex
pressed their views through our pa
per, and wo suppose that it is In or
der for us to give our opinion about
it too.
We think the course of the candi
dates objectionable for two reasons—
-Ist, because it disregarded the decis
ion of the people at their meeting in
the court-house on the 19th ult.; and
2d, because it effected a combuiatlon
to elect the tfcreo candidates select
ed by the commission.
The poople, after full and free dis
cussion on the 19th of May, deter
mined that tho true policy of the
friends of the Convention was to
have a number of candidates, so that
their rivalry and personal populari
ty might bring out a large vote in
favor of calling tho Convention. The
probability that the people of Ma
rion and Chattahoochee might be
fearful that this would result in tho
olection of more than three Muscogee
men was suggested at that time and
discussed, and in view of this prob
ability the mooting, acting for the
Democratic party of tho county, re
solved that it was best to make no
nominations, but to leave the field
open to all the candidates. If the can
didates, after this action, found
reason to believe that it was injudi
cious and would work Injuriously,
they ought to have invoked another
meeting of the people and re-sub
rnitted tho question to them. They
ought not to have taken the respon
sibility of practically undoing the
work of the people by clearing the
field ot half tho number of candid
ates tho people thought proper to
leave iu it.
It may bo contended that tho ac
tion of the candidates and their nom
inating commission leaves tho field
just as open as it was before to all but
tho throe gentlemen retired. Osten
sibly this is so, if the circumstances
cannebtpd with their action be ig
nored. But practically isdifferent,
and tho care Which the candidates
took to bind each other to support
the nominees very strongly suggests
that they expected it to be different.
They had, respectively, enlisted In
their support most of the voters of
the county, and the very reasonable
conclusion is that the course and
preference of the retiring candidates
would influence mbet'-of their friends
to do as they did— support the three
parties to the arrangement who
were left to the field. In addition to
this, the electiou is now so closo
at hand fas to give them
a great advantage over any new can
didates who may wish to step in and
take the places of the gentlemen re
tired; We think, therefore, that the
three candidates selected by the
commission must hove contemplated
that they would cut off formidable
opposition by an arrangement which
would at this late day clear tho field
of all candidates but themselves and
firmly bind these ruled out to sup
port them in opposition to any and
all new aspiraDts. We will not call
it a “snap judgment” on the people,
but it looks very much like a move
ment to avoid the opposition which
the people clearly intended they
should have.
We sav nothing whatever as to any
personal preferences Involved in
this action, for all the gentlemen fa
vored by the commission are person
ally aooeptabie to us, and we thlok
deserve the confidence and support
•f all the people of the district.
CARD or MR. FRANCIS FONTAINE
Editor Times:
Bib-The recent action of tho can
didates’ convention will explain why
I have concluded to announce my
self as a candidate for,the Constitu
tional Convention. 1 agree with
you in your estimate of the worthi
ness of tho three candidates who
were nominated by that convention,
and tho great advantage which they
have In making the race, owing to
the short time allowed other can
didates. The few days now remain
ing will not allow me to make a per
sonal canvass of the counties of Chat
tahoochee aud Marlon.
Without entering into any pledges
or alliances, I repeat two statements
which I have previously made: Other
industries besides that of the Law
should bo represented in that Con
vention. Above all others tho agri
cultural interest should be represent
ed, for the prosperity of tho mercan
tile and manufacturing interests nre
dependent upon it. Tho Homestead
should be made as nearly inalienable
as the Constitution of the United
(Rates will permit. The law au
thorizing the Homestead to
be waived has not enabled the
borrower to make any better
tefms with the lender or dealer in
supplies. It makes the rich richer,
and the poor poorer, and robs the
innooent and helpless of that which
should be theirs and only theirs.
The Homestead should not be used
os a basis of credit ; the industries
of the United States do not average
a profit of 6 per cent, per annum,and
until tho act of waiving the Homo
stead onablos a man to borrow
money at that or a similar rate it can
not benefit the masses of tho people.
The interests of the whole people—
the poor os well as the rich—should
be consulted in making fundamental
laws which may and probably will
affect their children for generations
to oome.
Repeetfully, &c.,
Francis Fontaine.
Bullock’s "Copartners” and "friends"
Coming to the front Against a Con
vention of the People of Georgia-Just
as I Expected!
Editors Times: Five or six weeks
ago, while there seemed to be some
wrangling among the Democrats ae
to the propriety of calling a State
Convention to amend our very imper
fect and (in my opinion) rascally
Constitution, I then said that I bad
uo doubt but thatKufus B. Bullock
was much gratified to see Qeorgia
Democrats, who were then opposing
a call of the Convention, sustaining
and endorsing him no to, while in 18G8,
and since, they had been denouncing
and abusing him on account of his
having had formed and adopted
our present Constitution, Ac. I also
stated (I write from memory) that if
the white people, or Democrats, ol
Qeorgia should determine, on the
12th of June next, not to hold a Con
vention, that Rufus B. Bullock could
“proudly walk tho Boil of Georgia”
when ho found that, with all the
abuse heretofore put upon him and
his friends, he had made such a good
Constitution for the people of Geor
gia, that they had decided that eveo
their own best men could not umend
the samo beneficially, &c. And I also
said: “Bullock, I guess, at this time
is watohing, with no little interest,
the result of tho Convention question
in Georgia.” In this declaration I
meant what I said, and it would seem
that I was not far wrong.
I believed, at the time, that the
Bullockites, and the “died in the
wool” Radicals would “lay low and
keep dark” as long as they could, or
until near the election time, anyhow.
Or, if they saw much of a fight
among the Democrats about the
Convention, they would "lay low”
and “slip up,” or within a few days
of the election, they would “try" to
“arouse up the colored population”
and get them to go to the polls and
vote against a Convention. But these
“bold, bad men” finding that the
true Demooiats of the State, general
ly, are beginning to see the necessity
for a Convention to make our State
Constitution “burglar proof,” and to
produce “economy” and “reform,”
could “hold in no longer," and they
have thrown off their mask of “mas
terly inactivity.”
John T. Conly, the man that Bul
lock paid under our present Constitu
tion, SIO,OO for a “little job” suppos
ed to be worth S7OO or SBOO, comes
out in an address to the negroes and
everybody elsoof “his clan” to vote
against the Constitution, which he
BdUterß all over the State. Another
“Pet” of Bullock’s, “Fatty Harris”
(an Ohio man), who Bullock, while
in power, fed liberally from the our
State Road and State Treasury, all at
once starts a paper at Atlanta, and
he cornea out “bulging” against the
Convention. (It takes money these
days to start a paper, and why is
this money spent, if something be
not wrong?) And A. K. Akerman,
(another Northern man, and friend
of Bullock’s,) he comes out, too, and
spends his or somebody else’s money
iu an address, (scattered all over the
State) to his colored brethren, to
come up and vote against an assem
bling of a Convention of the people
erf Georgia, and I guess that others,
of the “smaller fry” are “plying the
same vacation” In different part# of
the State.
These men, among other things,
hold up with much horrow (are
they afraid ol it, themselves?) the
“whipping post,” when no Conven
tion man, or Democrat is thinking of
establishing anything of the kind.
And they bring up and moke much
fuse about imprisonment of rasccally
debtors (are they afraid of that, too?)*
when but few, it any mon in favor of
aConvention, or Democrats, are In
favor of any law for the “imprison
ment for debt.” But, 1 will say no
more except to say that I think
wrong, (wrong somewhere) is at the
bottom of all this “to-do," on oppo
sition to a Convention, by these
“Pets,” and “Copartners,” aud
“Friends” of Bullock. If this be not
the cas e,whj this erpendiurc of money,
by these men ?
The friends of good government In
Georgia, of economy and reform, the
tux payers, had better be looking to
their own interests and come out to
full force, on the 12th inst., and give
u roueing vote "for a Convention.”
Gratitude.
HAYEV POLICY.
Nat a wanibem. but a Natlsnal Policy
Mr. A. C. Buell, the Washington
reporter of tho New Orleans Demo
crat, gives that paper a statement of
uu interview with a gentleman whom
bo describes as “a distinguished
Southern representative—a recogni
zed leader of conservative party of
that section, a member of the last
Congress, and fortunately re-elected
to tho next.” This Congressman, af
ter seine pleasant raillery about
Buell's previous reports of Demo
cratic negotiations to sell out the
Speakership to the Administration,
continued:
In the first place, I will define the
relations which now exist, and which
will continue to prevail between the
representatives of the Southern peo
ple and the present Administration.
The President has terminated the obi
t>olicy of interference by the Federal
Government in the domestic affairs
of the Southern States, and ho lias
adopted anew programme, which Is
called
THE SOUTHERN POLICY.
“This is a misnomer. It should
not be called the Southern policy,
because that term makes an invidi
ous distinction. It should properly
be called the national policy, because
it is in truth nothing more than the
application to the whole country of
those constitutional principles which
had hitherto, at least since the war,
been applied
ONLY TO THE NORTHERN STATES.
The old policy of interference and
arbitrary setting up and pulling down
of State governments by military
force was distinctively a Southern
poliey; so, you see, what Mr. Hayes
nas done is simply to discontinue the
distinctive Southern policy of bis pre
decessor; to recognize one Constitu
tion and one code of laws for the
whole country, and to adopt a com
prehensive
NATIONAL POLICY
for all, instead of the old system of
one policy for the Northern and an
other for the Southern States.
“Tne effect of this action is to re
lieve the Southern people from the
necessity of struggling for bare ex
istence, which the old policy impos
ed upon them, and gives them an
opportunity to turn tneir attention
to schemes'for advancing their mate
rial interests. No people on earth
could think of schemes for improv
ing their property or advancing their
civilization while constantly me
naced, as the Southern people have
been, with the terrors of corrupt lo
cal government and confiscatory tax
ation, forced upon them by a central
power too strong to be resisted and
deaf to appeal. Thus, for the last
ten years, all the energies of the
Southern people have been spent in
their efforts to avoid, escape, evade
or postpone the consequences of the
t>au governments which have been
imposed upon tuem by the
Federal power. The necessity of em
ploying their energies to this end is
now past, and the Southern people
find themselves In a position where,
by making proper use of their lawful
powers and by availing themselves of
of their representation in
Congress, they can soon inaugurate
measures to repair the damages and
losses they have suffered.
“At present the tuierests of all the
Southern people ure identical. This
is the secret of the solid South.
"The poliey inaugurated by the
Congress thut tried to impeach
Andrew Johnson, and which was
subsequently followed out by Grant.,
forced the Southern States and their
people into oue common struggle for
self-preservation. And now that
that struggle is over, the poverty to
which it reduced the Southern Suites
and [teople forces them into an
equally uuited attitude of sclMnter
est. Therefore the South, which has
heretofore been solid for sentimental
reasons, now becomes solid through
material causes.
“The Southern Representatives in
Congress have always stood together
when the struggle of their section
was for self-preservation; and they
will stand equally united now that
the bond is a common desire to re
pair the wasted fortunes and renew
the material prosperity of their peo
ple.
“But here vou must consider the
fact that, so far as the next Congress
is concerned, the men who are to
represent the South in her efforts
lor the promotion of her material
interests were elected in a cam
paign which was waged as a part
and the concluding part of the strug
gle for self-preservation; they are,
therefore, identified with the party
which stood by them of old, and they
will not abandon it without cause.
Tnat is, in other words, the Repre
sentatives of the South mean to
give the National Democratic party
a fair opportunity to establish its
claim upon their allegiance under
the new order of things. They will
herefore act with the laucus of the
party in organizing the House, and
will present a united front to the ad
versary on all matters involving old
issues should the adversary, or any
faction thereof, attempt to revive
them to subserve the selfish interests
of aspiring politicians. Any effort to
revive the policy of hate and inter
ference, which Mr. Hayes basdlscon
tinued, will be met ami combatted by
the Southern men. If in so doing
hey find themselves sustaining the
measures of the Administration they
will, to that, extent, become the sup
porters of Mr. Hayes, no mat
ter whom they have to antago
nize, or whom they co-operate
with, in order to maintan
that position. Likewise, if Mr Hayes, by
his message or through his friends on the
floor of the House, makes his policy con
form to those material interests of the
Southern people that I have already al
luded to, the Administration will be sup
ported by the South.
“Now’let tne make another matter a
little clearer to you than it has hitherto
seetned to he, if I may judge of its clear
ness in your mind from the manner in
which I have seen it treated in your let
ters to the New Orleans jjemocrat. You
have been in the habit of writing of a
possible secession or withdrawal of
the Southern Democrats from the cau
cus of their party in their next House.
Nothing of the kind will be done. You
might as well talk about cutting ofl the
dog and leaving the tail. The Southern
Democracy
WILL HE TIIK CAUCUS.
in the next House, and they will not ac
cede from their own body. They have n
clear majority in the caucus amounting to
thrcc-flftha, and the caucua will control
the organization and policy of the House
by a clear majority of from eight to ten.
It would therefore, be the height of folly
for the party which controls the caucus
that controls the House to abandon their
advantage for the sake of surrendering
to the minority, which would be the effect
of the movement yon have been writing
about.
“Depend upon it, then, the Democratic
caucus will organize the House, and the
caucus itself will be organized by the
Soul hern Democrats. If it is broken up
at all, it will be done by the Northern
men; which is not to bo thought of, be
cause the Northern men are more closely
bound down by parly names and tradi
tions than we of the South are, and the
Democracy of a Northern congressional
district is not so elastic a force, nor will
it tolerute so much elasticity of (xtliiical
action in its representative as a Southern
constituency will.
“Parties may indeed break np eventu
ally and be reformed on uew lines, if not
under new names. But this will be the
gradual work of time and of changed cir
cumstances in general; it cannot be
brought about in a single day, as it were
by a mere change ol Executive policy in
one single particular on the part of the
F* deral Administration."
