the 7th inst. She was a sister of Gov.
Pickens of South Carolina.

Judge Kiddoo having resigned the
office of Judge of the Pat tula Circuit,
Gov. Colquitt has appointed Hon.
Arthur Hood, of Randolph county,to
the position.

The defeat of Hod. A. D. Candler
in the sth District, is largely due to
his unsatisfactory position on the
Greenback question. He could not
stand on the platform which the
Convention adopted.
The Ennises of Hancock county
(the location of them in Baldwin was
an error) have not yet been captured.
The posse attending the United States
Marshal went to their residence, but
found that they had left.
We regret to learn from a special
of the 14th to the Atlanta ‘ Constitu
tion, that Hon. Alex. 11. Stephens is
again very ill. He has hemorrhages
of the lungs-a complication that he
experiences for the first time.

An old Indian on the Pacific slope
informs a reporter of the San Fran
cisco Call that we are to have one of
the hardest winters that wo have
ever experienced. He predicts that
tlufre will be groat suffering among
the Indians owing to the heavy
snows on the plains. He requests
the reporter to spread the warning
by "heap paper talk.”
A laboe assembly was held at the
Kimball House, Atlanta, on Satur
day night, to congratulate Col. N. J,
Hammond on his nomination for
Congress. Col. Hammond was sent
for, appeared, and made an eloquent
speech. He was followed by Gov.
Colquitt. Hon. B. 11. Hill, and other
gentlemen, in rousing speeches,
urging the Democrats to stand by
their nominees, and assuring them
that certain victory was within their
reach.
Mb. Gabfielo, in a speech made
the other day in opposition to the
Greenback movement, virtually ad
mitted that the scarcity and light
ness of money In circulation was due
to the Republican policy of hoard
ing gold for the redemption of green
backs. He said that “the moment
that greenbacks are equal to Cola
there will be added to our effective
currency the whole volume of our
coin.” Why is it not added now?
Simply because the Government
hoards it, and compels the banks to
heard it, to meet the day of resump
tion. «
Judge Bioham’s letter, which we
publish to-day, states many facts
which will be found pf interest in the
discussion of the currency quention.
lu regard to Hon. Henry 11. Harris’
votes, to which he refers, we have
only to say that they are good as far
as they go. But they do not en
lighten us on the question whether
Mr. Harris is in favor of the substi
tution of greenbacks for national
bank notes; nor do they inform us
whether he is Id favor of holding the
bondholders to the original contract
as to the kind of money in which
they were to be paid. The Green
backers want candidates to stand
square on these planks.
Pbof. Kino, theieronaut, has given
out that he intends to cross the At
lantic ocean from New York city to
Europe, in a huge balloon. He pro
fesses to have discovered a coating
for the silk which will prevent in
creased heaviness from moisture ab
sorbed-one of the chief obstacles
to long voyages by balloons. We
have no great faith in man’s ability
to make such an aerial trip; but as
the Professor does not propose to
start until June next, and as the
world’s progress in science is now so
wonderful as to destoy wonder at al
most anything, the feat may be ac
complished next year. We decline a
free ticket in advance.
Elk in Harness-Mr. A. H. Moore’s
span of elk attracted much attention
on the grounds yesterday. Their
names are Dexter and Dasher. Dex
ter weighs 516 pounds and Dasher 500
pounds. They are two years old each,
well broke to harness, and Mr. Moore
says so well trained that a woman
can drive them.
They were captured on Rice river,
eight miles south of Fargo, Dakota,
when four or five days old. It is an
easy matter for them to travel six
teen miles an hour and have two
men and a buggy, and it is said they
can travel 100 miles as easy as a horse
team can fifty. Their antlers are in
what the hunters term the velvety
stage.—St. Paul Globe.
Kevolutlng the Wronr Wuy (
Washington Post.)
The Radicals are getting possession
of the next House a great deal as the
Indian got religion. Some of the
brethren asked him how he felt, and
be responded, ‘‘l feel as pions as
hell.” Elections have occurred lu
three States. In Oregon the Demo
crats have gained the State, a United
States Senator and a Congressman.
In Vermont—rock-ribbed Vermont —
the Ridioals have lost what they
never lost before-a Congressman;
while in Maine, which has been
solidly radical for twenty-three
years, they have lost two Congress
met,, one of which has been gained
by the Democrats, and the other by
the Democrats and Greenbackers
combined. The promised Radical
revolution seems to revolute the
wrong way. Can’t somebody stop
her ?
THE NECONO MF.KTIXW.
The Democratic nominating con
vention of this Congressional Dis
trict re assembles to-day at Newnan.
The acquisition made by the sup
porters of Mr. Harris in securing the |
Carroll delegation does not help him
much so far as mere numbers are
concerned, as, without a break in
the opposing party, ho is almost as
far from a two-thirds vote as he
was at Columbus. But we sup
pose that It will give him moral
support by "strengthening the back
bone” of his friends—assuring them
of bis strength before the people. It
Is not, however, from any increase of
firmness or stubborness in either
party in adhering to their original
preferences, that wo expect a satis
factory solution of tills political diffl
culty. Wo look rather to conciliation
and concession on the part of both
parties.
We find in the falavtu Constitution
an affidavit made by Sylvan us Hem
bree, of Carroll county, which we ap
prehend is not calculated to incline
the minority to yield-that is, if we
understand what Mr. Hembree
means. He Is answering a charge
which he says was made by Mr. Tug
gle before a committee of the Colum
bus Convention in reference to the
genuineness of his (Hembree’s) sig
nature to an affidavit accompanying
the credentials of one of the Carroll
county delegations, and he adds:
"But this was not all that Mr. Tug
gle said in reference to tbo use of
money in controlling the action of
the Columbus convention, the reveal
ing of which should arouse the virtu
ous indignation of some of the dele
gates composing the Columbus eon
ventlon toward Mr. Tuggle it they
were not in complicity with him, or
if otherwise with shame at having,
for paltry pelf, agreed to misrepre
sent their constituents in the selec
tion of a candidate to represent them
in the next Congress of the United
States.”
Such an imputation, vague as it is,
is not likely to calm the temper or
arouse a conciliatory feeling in the
minds of mon who so lately engaged
in a bitter contest in behalf of their
respective friends. It is like pouring
more oil on the flames.
We still hope, however, that the
Convention will now sink personal
interests and feelings for the good
of the party. The Democrats of the
District expect It of-them, and they
owe it to their own reputation as
patriotic men to meet together as
members of one party, conscious of
the importance of maintaining its
harmony and securing its success.
In this spirit only can they assuage
the acerbities that, have been evoked
and accomplish happily the object,
for which they were appointed.
Yellow Feveb.—The following list
of cities and towns in which yellow
fever cases have been reported may
not be complete, but it is nearly so,
and will afford a correct view of the
extent of the epidemic and the sec
tions of country afflicted: New Or
leans, Baton Rouge, Port Eads, Mor
gan Ulty, and Plaquemine, Louis
iana; Grenada, Vicksburg, Canton,
Port Gibson, Holly Springs, Ocean
Springs, Water Valley, Puss Chris
tian, Bay Sr,. Louis, Pascagoula,
Greenville and Bolton, Mississippi;
Brownsville and Memphis, Ten
nessee; Hickman, Kentucky; Gal
lipolis aud Richmond, Ohio.
A number of imported cases have
also been reported from Louisville,
St. Louis, Chattanooga, &o. There
have been several cases at Mobile,
all imported except one, about which
there is a doubt as to whether it
originated there. There have also
been reports of imported cases from
several points on the Tennessee
river and from Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The reports from Holly Springs,
Miss., and its vicinity are rather
surprising. It is far inland, in an
elevated and broken country,
and not upon any stream. Yet
the fever is not only reported
to be bad in that town, but as origi
nating in families in the surrouna
ing country that have had no com
munication with the infected town.
It is probable that this visitation of
yellow fever will have the effect of
modifying some of the theories about
the disease heretofore generally en
tertained, besides the opinion that
full blooded negroes were not subject
to it.

I*. T. Ennl** Statement.
September 11, 1878.
Editor Old Capital: Sir—Not know
ing how the matter may be told you
in regard to the difficulty that occur
red at my house last night, I write
you the following statement:
About dark a party of men came to
my gate and hailed. Chapell Rus
sell, a darkey in my employment,
went to the gate to see who it was.
Myself and family, together with my
brother and Miss Zilfaar Blizzard,
were sitting at the table in the kitch
en eating supper. . The men asked
“did Mr. Ennis live there?” and
Chapel answered that he did. They
then said,‘Tell Mr.Eonistocomeout,’
as they wanted to see him. The serv
ant came back at once, followed by
two or three men, and told me there
were some gentlemen there who
wanted to see me. I put my little
girl down off my lap and stepped to
the door, one of the men asked me
if that was Mr. Ennis. I replied that
it was and he immediately drew his
pistol and fired at my bead, the pow
der burning my face and eyes. In
the meantime I and my brother pick
ed up our guns and fired at him be
fore he cou d repeat his shot. They
ran around the kitchen, and it
being a log house without the cracks
being stopped, one or two of
them halted and fired at me again
through the cracks. We then went
into the yard and continued firing
till they were out of sight. We fired
seven times in all, using tw > double
barrelled guns, firing three times
with a pistol. I and my brother
left the yard and reloading our guns
could have killed the party, but
would not use th. advantage we had
of them, as it never had been our in
tention to hurt any body, but rather
to keep out of the way. Please pub
lish this statement, and ask vour
brother editors throughout the State
to do the same. Yours truly.
, P, T. Ennis.

HON. H. B. HA Bills’ VOTES.
EdllorTimee : -In February 1862, the
Republican party entered upon their
•‘plan of Finance” by authorizing tbo
issuance of bonds, a small portion of
which were payable in coin, and the
remainder in Treaeury notes. These
bonds were sold for greenbacks at
par at times when the currency was
between forty and sixty cents on the
dollar. In July 1870, bonds were au.
thorlz-’d to be Issued, on refunding
the original bonds, payable in coin.
Gold and silver were both coin then.
In February 1873, they demonetized
silver. In connection with these acts
they created the National banka; re
fused to allow Treasury notes to be
taken io payment of customs due;
and, as a crowning injury to the bus
iness of the country, on the 14th of
January 1875, they passed the act for
the contraction of the currency
known as the Resumption Aet.
All the while, under co-operation of
the Treasury Department and syndi
nates of bond dealers,contraction has
been carried on until the volume of
the currency has been bought, from
the rate of 45 to 1 per capita to 15 to
1 per capita, thus Increasing more
than three fold the burdens of the
debts of ths country, pnblloand pri
vate, naralvzfng industries, destroy
ing values, and bringing insolvency
upon themsetves.
Against, this enormous injury the
Democrats, with but few exceptions,
have arranged themselves. A solid
South, agricultural In its interests,
and the great producing Northwest
lead in the work, whilst the mass of
the working men and businessmen
of the North, South, East and West,
are rapidlv coming to see the source
of their suffering and seeking to be
liberated from it. As early as 1876
measures of reform were pressed.and
during the last session the questions
involved took the form of living is
sues. Thus, on October 31, 1877, the
House of Representatives passed a
bill repealing the Resumption Act.
On 21st of January, 1878, they nassed
an act to authorize the payment of
custom dues in legal tender
notes at par. On February 28,1878,
they passed an act to re
monetize silver. On April 29, 1878,
they passed an act suspending the re
tirement of legal tender notes and
issuance of bonds In their stead ; and
on 19th, of June 1878, they considered
the bill to repeal the National Bank
law, and to retire National Bank
notes, and issue treasury notes in
lieu thereof. Each and <ll of these
laws are important; and they, or
equivalent measures, must become
laws to restore us to equality of
classes; bring about real resumption,
and enable the people of the country
to reach general prosperity, by prop
er and hopeful application of econo
my and industry. Behind these are
other measures, which should
meet advocacy in due time. But.
the Senate is still Republican
and the Democratic majority in the
House is small, ranging from 7 to 15.
On the repeal of the National Bank
law our friends failed with a majority
of 4 against them. To make success
sure we must not merely hold our
own. We must get additional
strength in the House; must gain a
majority in the Senate; and elect the
President.
Thoughtful men are deeply imbued
with the importance of the question
thus briefly stated. Hon. Porter In
gram gave expression to sound views
on the subject in the Columbus Con
vention; and afterwards, if my
memory Is correct, Gov. Smith refer
red to his speech in terms of strong
approval. The subject is by no
means new to me. For years I have
looked to the principles advocated
by the Democratic party to disen
thrall business and re-establish
equality and justice. When the sil
ver bill was pending we had a pub
lic meeting in Troup, at which, as a
member of an able committee; I bad
the honor to draw the resolutions
adopted. In them the money and
bond, or greenback question is
stated substantially as above. Years
ago Hon. R. J. Moses, (who was then
an elector giving his great ability
to the service of the party as be has
ever since been faithfully doing,)
and myself advocated the election
of Seymour and Blair, who were then
our nominees, on the same platform.
Their we resisted the Republi
can party, inviting the co
operation of all men who
loved justice to contribute to their
overthrow. Now, we resist the same
party, and, inviting the co-operation
of Greenbackers, and that ofall min
who are willing to contribute to the
prevalence of right, we seek to re
form their “Plan of Finance.” The
bugle notes of the Presidential Cam
paign have already been sounded-
Thurman has spoken in Ohio on one
side, and Sherman on the other. Gar.
field has also spoken there, and Hayos
in Minnesota, All sharply define
the issue;—and it is evident that
everything that ingenuity can invent
is being done, and will be done by the
bondholding power of the country to
form diversioßS against the uniting
of our strength, and to favor Republi
nanism.
The plain logic of these facts and
observations is that our cause should
be such as to satisfy men, that they
can best find remedy against the
wrongs under which we all suffer,
within the Democratic party. We
need to give assurance, unequivocal,
strong and clear, of our continued
adherence to the great principles
now formed into issues tor 1878 and
1880. Henry R. Harris voted for each
of the salutary measures above re
ferred to as having been acted on by
the House of Representatives, and
gave his great influence to their ad
vocacy. What stronger assurance
then can we give, in the action of our
Congressional Convention, than by
doing as the Democrats have done in
the cases of Messrs. Cook, Smith,
Blount and Stephens, and nominat -
ing him to be his own successor. En
gaged as we are in a common cause,
there is no good reason or even plaus
ible pretext for contention amongst,
us; on the contrary the Motives for
harmony are plentiful, and there
should ba no strife except as to who
can best woik and best agree. He is
the choice of the people. They have
so declared ; and, within the last few
days, Carroll has emphasized that
declaration wi’h unmistakable force.
