COLUMBUS, G-U SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1878. 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. Communist* I'u.rdoned. Paris, Sept. 13.—Seventy-eight more communists have been par doned, or had their sentences com muted. TIIK NOIITIIUKN Pin UK’ U 111. WAY. Mvvllng ut’lliP (illir.Biu ofMuvilimuh-—The Vrojeot Kador*ed. 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 and, on motion, tho meetiug ad journed. • l-'rom tho Maoon Telegraph, 13th, \ # 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.
