THIRD AUIIIMt GONUKKUMIOXAL
CONVENTION.
■<■'■
FIRST DAY-THURSDAY.
Eufaula, Ala., Sept. 12, 1878.
Editor Times :—lu conformity, with
the notice previously published, the
Convention convened at tho Opera
House at the hour of 12 m. Hon, J.
M. Carmichael of Dale, was put in
nomination and unanimously elected
temporary chairman, and the tem
porary organization then completed
by the appointment of J. M. Wright
of Russell, H. L. Hull, of Lee, and
J. W. Foster of Henry, as Secretaries
pro lent.
The call was then made and re
] sponded to for the enrollment of the
j names of the delegates from the
| various counties composing.the Dis
! trict,
i After some preliminary motions
and debates upon the subject, a com
mittee upon credentials, consisting
of J. M. Wright, H. Pipkin, H Pur
cell, E. H. Glenn, W. H. Sturkey, H.
U. Mizell and W. H. Brannon, chair
man of the delegation of their re
spective counties, was appointed to
investigate and report upon tho
claims respectively of the two dele
gations contending for seats from
Lee county, and also upon the claims
of the two proxies from Bar
bour whose seats wore contested.
Upon motion, the Convention
then adjourned until 3 o’clock p. m.
or until the committee upon Creden
tials was prepared to make its report.
During the sitting of the committee
on Credentials the following letter of
withdrawal, by its chairman, of the
Lee county delegation last appointed
was presented to the committee with
the pledge or understanding that it
should be read in open convention,
before any report was adopted by
the convention concerning the right
of either delegation lo a seat in the
body:
Eufaula, Ala., Kept. 12, 1878.
To the Chairman of the Democratic
Convention of the Third Congress
ional District :
As ohuirman of the delgation from
Leo county, and at tho request of
Maj. Waddell, who is a candi
date before the convention, and
to relievo the committee on
Credentials from any |embarrass
ment in the matter, I most respect
fully withdraw the claim of said del
egation to seats iu the convention. I
do this protesting at the same time
against the admission of the other
delegation, elected by a convention
of delegates,assembled underthe call
of the Executive Committee of said
county “to nominate two candidates
for the Legislature and to appoint a
new Executive Committee.” Tho in
admissability of the claim of the del
egation thus elected is too obvious not
to be transparent to tho mind of ev
ery intelligent man in the Conven
tion.
Tho harmony of the democratic
party is considered by me, and the
delegation of which lam Chairman,
as paramount to every other consid
eration.
Respectfully,
French Strange,
Chm. Lee County Delegation.
In violation of what was consider
ed not only an absolute right, but
also a solemn pledge, for fear it tnay
be of disturbing the harmony aud
composure of the convention, that
body in its great wisdom refused to
allow this letter of withdrawal of the
Lee county delegation to be read,
and the other delegation, chosen in a
manner that has never before been
recognized by the Democratic party
as valid, declared to be entitled to
seats in the Convention ; and thus we
have the extraordinary precedent,
that delegates elected for a specific
purpose may legitimately transcend
the powers delegated to them.
The convention will probably effect
a permanent organization to-motrow
morning. It is thought that Colonel
Chambers, of Russell, will be made
permanent chairman. It is impossi
ble to prognosticate at this time with
any degree of assurance as to who
will be the nominee of the conven
tion. Combinations are being formed,
which it is sincerely to be hoped will
result in preserving the perfect or
ganization of the party. This should
be a matter of the first consideration
with those entrusted with the deli
cate duties that devolve individually
and collectively upon every member
of the convention.
SECOND DAY—THURSDAY.
Eufaula, Sept. 13.—The Conven
tion organized permanently to-day
by electing Coi. W. H. Chambers, of
Russell, permanent President.
A compromise of the question of
basis of representation was proposed
—Barbour and Bullock to retain
their former number, aad the lower
counties to have the additional rep
resentation proposed by the Execu
tive Committee.
The Convention so far, is working
haamoniously.
Speeches are confined to five min
utes.
The permanent Chairman address
ed the Convention eloquently and
forcibly, urging harmony.
Several unsuccessful ballotings
have been taken—Williams leading.

From the Morning Nows, 11th.
In accordance with a call that ap
peered in tho Morning News yester
day for a meetiug at the Cotton Ex
change, to consider what action
should bo taken in regard to the pro
posed Southern Pacific Railway, a
large number of the Influential mer
chants and business men of Savan
nah assembled at G| o’clock p. tn. at
the Exchange. Tne mooting was
called to order by Capt. W. W. Gor
don, President of ths Savanuah Cot
ton Exchange, who stated that be
had been requested to ask Hon. J. F.
Wheaton to take the Ctlair, aud Mr.
B. H. Richardson to uct as Secreta
ry.
Captain Wheaton, upon taking the
chair, said that tho objects of the
meeting were known to those.present,
having beeu announced initho morn
ing paper and hence no comment was
neoewSrV. The distinguished, Hon.
Thomas M. Norwood, who was pre
sent to address them, he considered
required no introduction to this
meeting, and he would therefore
simply invite tho gentleman to take
the floor.
Mr. Norwood arose and said : Mr.
Chairman aud fellow-oitizens of Sav
anuah, we have met hero this even
iug for the purpose of considering
what may be regarded as a very im
portant matter to Savannah, Know
ing that you are all business men aud
that, your time is valuable, I shall
detain you but a brief while, and
will present what I have to say in as
concise a manner as possible.
Mr. Norwood then addressed the
meeting ou the importance of tho
speedy completion of a main trunk
line between the Atlantio and Pacific
Oceans on the thirty-second parallel
of lutitude. We do not preteud to
give more than a brief outliue of his
remarks.
In 1871 Congress granted certain
rights to two railroad companies
then in existence—one the Texas and
Pacific, of Texas, and the other the
Southern Pacific of California. The
Texas and Pacific was required to
build its line from Marshall, Texas,
to Fort Yuma, on the Colorado river,
tn ten years. The Southern Pacific
was permitted to meet the Texas and
Pacific at Fort Yuma.
The Texas.Paciflc was also required
to build at least one hundred miles
each year after the soeond yeur. It
has built only four hundred and for
ty-three miles since 1871, and of that
number only one huudred and eigh
ty-five miles are ou the trunk line,
to-wit: from Marshall to Fort Worth.
The other milfcs are around a parall
elogram and built apparently to pen
in some rich lands, as under the rail
road law of Texas adjacent lands are
given to every compauy which builds
a railroad.
Mr. Scott, after this work, applied
to Congress for $60,000,000 subsidy,
sayiug he could not complete the
road without it. This being refused,
he asked for $38,500,000. This being
refused, he is still asking,
time, the Southern Pacific progress
ed, in compliance with the law of
Congress, aad finished its road to
Fort Yuma.
Tho Texas and Pacific (Scott) is
now unable to build the trunk line,
and stands as an obstacle in the way
of a Southern Pacific main truuk.
The Southern Pacific now offers to
come east from Fort Yuma to El Paso
—six hundred miles—through Arizo
na aud New Mexico, if Congress wiii
grant it the right of way. It does
not ask for a subsidity—neither gov
ernment money nor credit—but is
willing with its own money and cred
it to come as far east as Congress can
give it the right to come, to wit,: To
El Paso on the western border of
Texas.
Mr. Norwood then showed the in
justice which the Southern Pacific
would bear if, after being induced to
build to a desert with the expectation
of there meetiugScott’s road it should
not be permitted to oontinue east.
He also showed what a wrong Scott
is inflicting on the Southern States,
by standing obstinately in the way,
unable to build us a road, and refus
ing to let the Southern Pacific build
it for us. He said the people of the
whole South should speak out with
no uncertain sound, making known
their purpose nut to bo trifled with
any longer by such obstacles aud ex
periments in Congress, aud that they
should ask that the Southern Pacific
be permitted to build the road, espe
cially as it is not seeking to do so at
tho public expense.
Upon tho conclusion of Mr. Nor
wood’s remarks, Mr. John Niobet
arose, and briefly alluding to tne im
portant character of the matter so
intelligently aud interestingly pre
sented to the meeting, offered the fol
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, Congress, in 1871, grant
ed certain rights and property in tne
Territories of Arizona and New Mex
ico to the Texas aud Pacific Railway
Company of Texas, and to ttie South
ern Pacific Railway Company of
California to enable them to build a
main trunk railroad between Mar
sUall, Texas, aud the Pacific Ocean,
the said Texas and Pacific having the
right to build west to the Colorado
river, aud being required to con
struct not less than one hundred
miles per annum; and the said South
ern Pacific having the right to build
east to the Colorado river, and then
connect with the Texas and Pacific
Company; and,
Wnereas, tho said Texas and Pa
cific has, withiu seven years, con
structed but one hundred and oighty
livo miles Of said truuk liue, aud, for
two years past, has acknowledged
its inability to proceed with
said work without a subsidy
of nearly $30,000 per mile; aud,
Whereas, the said Southern Pacific
Company have since completed its
work Lo Fort Yuma, ou tho Colora
do river, and offers without any sub
sidy, either by loau or endorsement
or by grants of land, to continue said
trunk line to El Paso, Texas, six huu
dred miles east of Fort Yarna on the
32d parallel, without delay, and to
complete the line between those
points within six years if Congress
will grant to it the right of way over
the Territories of Arizona aud New
Mexico, which was granted to the
said Texas aud Pacific Railway Com
pany in and by said aot of 1871; and,
Whereas, it is of great interest to
the citizens of the United States gen
erally, and of the Southern States
moie especially, that said main truuk
line should be constructed • without
further delay - therefore, be it
Resolved, 1. That, the offer of the
Southern Pacific Railway Company
of California receives the hearty ap-
proval of this meeting, and in its
judgment, should bo accepted by
Congress.
Resolved, 2. That this meeting
hereby respectfully request the
Senators and Representatives In
Congress from Georgia to use their
best efforts ard exert their influence
to secure tho passage of u bill which
will enable said Southern Pacific
Railway Company to proceed at once
with said trunk lino from Fort Yuma
to El Paso, Texas.
Resolved, 3. That this preamble
and these resolutions be published
In tho Morning News, of Savannah,
and that a copy of them be sent to
each of the Senators aud Represen
tatives in Congress from Georgia,
with the request to present them to
the Senate and House respectively.
Tho resolutions were seconded uud,
on motion, unanimously adopted.
No other busluess was presented

TIIK HANCOCK COUNTY KILLING.
STATEMENT OF DEPUTY MAUSIIAL I.UMS
DEN.
The tragic death of Mr. Jack Kitn
brew at the hands of t he Ennis broth
ers, of which a full account has been
published, was tho prolific theme of
conversation yesterday. The current
of public opinion ran very strongly
ngaiust the perpetrators of the deed.
Scarcely any other topic was discus
sed about the streets.
Yesterday evening the remains of
Mr. Kimbrew were brought over on
the Central train, accompanied by
Deputy Marshal Lumsden.
From him wo get the following
statement of tho uffair, which corro
borates the statement of Mr. Laney
in many respects aud differs from it
iu several points:
Mr. L. says: When wo a’rrived
within a half mile of tho house we
stopped and held a consultation.
We knew the Ennises wero armed
wit h pistols and guns.
L tney aud Kimbrew said it would
not do to coma this far and not take
them. We then proceeded to the
house. Kimbrew and I went to the
front gate, I called out and a negro
name out to the gate. I asked, "Does
Mr. Ennis live here?” He answered
“Yes,” saying also that it was Mr.
Dosh Ennis. There was no light in
the big house. The family were in
the kitchen eating supper, where
there was a light.
The doors were open and I could
see through to the kitchen. The
negro want back to the house to toll
Mr. Ennis I wanted to see him.
The idea was to call him out so we
could see if ho was armed. But K.
followed the negro in the yard at a
distance, I said, “Jack, hold on,”
and followed him about twenty yards
behind, and we heard the negro say.
“there is a man wants to see you.”
Wo heard someone get up. By that
time K. was six or eight feet from the
kitchen and stopped. I came up on
his left, near enough to touch him.
A white man made his appearance
in the door. K. said, “Good evening.”
I said, “Is that Mr, Ennis?” As I
spoke I saw two double-barreled
guu and, without reply, he jerked
up oue gun. and, without putting it
to his shoulder, fired both barrels in
quick succession. K. fell up against
tne house. I fired my pistol once.
My pistol snapped then three or four
times. I said, “Jack, why don’t you
use your pistol ?” He replied, “my
arm is shot off.” I then called Jim.
I then got over the fence and snap
ped my pistol three or four times at
a man leaning out of the door and
shooting iu the direction of Laney,
who was coming up. As my pistol
refused to fire, I got away from there.
As I passed through tho cotton patch
I saw several men running about the
wagon yard armed with guns. A
number more of shots wore fired.
I made for where our vehicles were
hitched, got into the wrong road,
heard a wagon aud made for the di
rection iu which it was going, cross
ing to the other and right road. The
moon was shining and I knew by the
mule tracks that it was our team.
When I had gone about a half mile
from this point I carno to a house.
A negro told me that there was a
wounded man iu it. It was K.
I found K. lying on a couch, and a
gentleman bathing hi3arm. I asked
him if be was badly hurt, aud he
said, "Yes, aud am suffering aud will
have to lose my arm.”
The rest of the boys, ho said, had
gone after a doctor.
I examined tbo arm aud saw that a
cord had beeu tied around it above
the elbow. Gould not see that it was
bleeding much—not enough to alarm
me.
I then learned that Laney was also
shot, and that he had gone on to Mil
ledgeville. I examined K’s wound
frequently. Ha complained of get
ting weak. He would not allow me
to raise it up. and it must have bled
underneath. I put another cord
around it.
Thu Dr. Whitaker, who was four miles
distant, arrived and put a tourniquet on
his arm. We concluded to take him to
Milledgeville, and borrowed from Dr. W.
a spring wagon. Laney having gone on in
our wagon, leaving a single buggy.
We left Mr. Renfro’s at 12 o'clock and
reached the town about 3 or 4 o’clock in
the morning K. laid on a couch all the
way. We stopped frequently to giYe him
water and bathe bis arm. He was placed
at the hotel and was attended by Dr.
Whitaker, who acuompanied us, Dr.
Harris and Dr. Hall.
K. was weak but conscious. He grad
ually became weaker. Cloroform was ad
ministered and amputation was resolved
upon, but on account of the weakness of
K., wa3 postponded. He sunk gradually
unti 12 o’clock, when he died, lie re
ceived every medical and other attention.
ICimbrew did not fire a shot iu the ren
counter. He wa3 shot before he could
discharge his weapon.
