FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
FOR CONGRESS. •
FOB THK SHOUT TKKM.
GEN. K. W. CARSWELL,
Os Jefferson County.
FOR THB LONG TERM.
JUDGE W. M. REESE,
Os Wilkes County.
OUR NOMINEES.
A detailed account of the proceedings of
the Democratic Convention of this district,
which assembled on yesterday, is published
in our local columns. We present to the
public, in a conspicuous place, the names
of General R. W. Carswell and Judge
Wm. M. Reese, the nominees of the Con
vention.
General Carswell, of the county of Jef
ferson, who has been chosen for the short
term of Congress, is still a young man,
certaiply not much on the shady side of
thirty years of age. He was Lieutenant
Colonel of the 48th Georgia regiment dur
ing the war, and served with great gallant
ry. His present title, we believe, was de
rived from an appointment of Gov. Brown’s.
By profession he is a lawyer. He is “to
the manner born,” a thoroughly true man,
and very popular with all classes. He
cannot, of course, take the test oath, but is
free from the disabilities imposed by the
XlVth Amendment.
Judge Wm. AT. Reese, who has been se
lected for the long term, is, we believe, a
native of Clarke county, but for many years
a resident of Washington, Wilkes county.
He was educated at Franklin College, and
afterward graduated at the Law School of
Cambridge University. He settled, in the
practice of his profession, at Washington,
in this State, about the year 1844. He has
long held a prominent position at the
bar. The political arena seems to have
had few charms for him, and it may be
truthfully said ol him that office has
twice in his life sought him, and
thath" never sought for office. In 1860 he
opposed secession on the line pursued by
Alexander H. Stephens who believed in
the right but not the expediency of assert
ing it to the point of violence. During
the war, at the earnest solicitation of his
friends, he accepted the Judgeship of the
Northern Circuit made vacant by the death
of Hon. Thomas W. Thomas. His career
on the bench was eminent in every way
characteristic of a learned and upright
iurist. At the installation of “ Gov.” Bul
lock, Judge Reese was retired, with a
spotless ermine. Since 1868, he has been
quiety engaged as an advocate, intent only
upon an unselfish performance of duty in
the private station, which was, in his
case most notably, the post of honor.—
Judge Reese is faithful to the main
tenance of American Free Institutions,
but very far from being a proscrip
tionist in any narrow or bigoted way.—
He has not lost faith in bis country
and believes her rescue possible in the
forum of reason In the popular sense, he
cannot be called a great, orator. But his
mind is sound, logical and pervading.
Just as it was said of Lowndes, of Sonth
Carolina, it may lie repeated of Judge
Reese, that he “'Stands by and lets reason
argue for him." He is well calculated to
rally to the Democratic standard all who
oppose Radical rule, of every diversity of
opinion, and, all in all, under the. circum
stances, no name could' have been men
tioned which is so full of promise of vic
tory for the true men of the Fifth District
of Georgia.
THE ELECTION BILL, SO-CALLED.
It appears, from our special telegrams,
that tiie revolutionary Radicals, in the
House of Representatives at Atlanta, have
defied the State Constitution and passed,
with slight modifications, the Akerman
Election Bill. We await the particulars
of this monstrous usurpation and abomi
nable conspiracy.

Death of Judge Grier. —The venerable
Robert Cooper Grier, late an Associate Jus
tice of the United States Supreme Court,
died in Philadelphia on Sunday night.
The deceased was born in Cumberland
county, Pennsylvania, March 5,1794. He
pursued his studies until the age of seven
teen under the direction of his hither, and
in 1811 entered the junior class at Dinkin
s' >n College, where he graduated the follow
ing year, and was afterward teacher for a
year in the grammar school connected with
the college. In 1806 his father had taken
charge of an academy at Northumberland,
Pa., which was afterward elevated into a
college, and, in 1813, his son came to assist
him in his duties.
On the death of his father he was ap
pointed, though not twenty years of age,
the principal of the college, and his post
seems to have been no sinecure, for he lec
tured on chemistry, taught astronomy,
mathematics, Greek and Latin, and at the
same time pursued the study of the law.
He was admitted to the bar in 1817, and
commenced the practice of his profession
the same year at Bioomsburg, Pa. In 1818
he removed to Danville, where his practice
rapidly increased. In 1838 he was appoint
ed President-Judge of the District Court of
Alleghany county, Pa., and in the same
year removed to Pittsburg, where he re
mained until 1848, when he removed to
Philadelphia. In August, 1846, he was ap
pointed by President Polk an Associate
Judge of the United States Supreme Court,
a position in which he displayed great ju
dicial learning and sterling ability. A
short time since he voluntarily left the Su
preme Bench, under the recent act of Con
gress enabling Judges to retire after attain
ing the specified age, and has since lived in
the seclusion of private life. Justice
Grier’s successor is Justice Strong, of
Pennsylvania, who was appointed and con
firmed at the time of Judge Grier’s retire
ment, and has since served with distinction
on the Supreme Bench. Judge Grier had
been in impaired health for several years,
aud bending under the weight of nearly
four-score years, his death was not an un
looked-for event. —Baltimore Sun.
How a Newspaper Ought to be
Edited —Letter from Horace Greeley.
—[From the Boston Times.] —Dear
The Republican journals all tell the truth;
the Democratic newspapers arc liars. The
more damned the liar the greater the circu
lation. The editor, like every one else,
should root hog or die. Protection is the
life of American industry. Every editor
should buy land and tell what he knows
about farming. No editor should run for
office. Office be blowed. Any man who
don’t agree with this is a villain, who lies
wickedly and willfully.
Above all things the editor should be
mild, ’emperate—avoiding strong expres
sions. Yours, R. G.
Horrible Accident. —Yesterday morn
ing, about 11 o’clock, a colored man named
Bristol Mitchell, employed by the Marine
River Phosphate Mining and Manufactur
ing Company, in loading phosphate rock
from the North Atlantic Wharf, became
entangled In the rope of the steam hoisting
engine. He was immediately drawn over
the drum and his head was crushed be
tween tse connecting rod and the boiler,
filling him instantly.

New French Army of the Northwest.
— Rouen , September 25.—A new army, being
'he fifth in the field outside ot Paris, is now
forming at this capital of Normandy. The
material is SDlendid—the hardy and pros
perous Normans, and the fierce,determined
Britons—and the armament received by
way of Havre is excellent. It is estimated
that there are now under arms here with
the soldiers of the line more than 80,000
men, of whom about one-half occupy a
fortified position on the slopes of the hill of
St. Catherine. The armies now assem
bling and organizing are roughly computed
as follows :
The Army of the Northeast, Lille... 75,000
The Army of the Northwest, Rouen.. 80,000
The Army of the Loire, Tours 120,000
The Army of Lyons, Lyons 150,000

TRUST WHAT TIME HAS SANCTIONED.
THE MAXIM THAT IHII VOICE OF THE
people la the voice of the divinity, may in some
cases be open to doubt, but the testimony of honest
and enlightened witnesses, exlending through a se
ries of yeais, and ad to the same purport, is worthy
of credence— admits of no question. Upon such tes
timony the reputation of Ho tetter’s Stomach Bit
ters, us an antidote and cure for many ailments, is
based During the twenty years that it has been be
fore the world Innumerable preparations, intended to
compete with it, have gone up like rockets and come
down the extinguished sticks. Meanwhile the pro
gress of that incomparable tonic has beep swift and
steady—always upward and onward, like the eagle’s
flight. Its introduction produced a revolution in
therapeutics, and it proved to be one of those salu
tary revolutions that cannot go backwards. To-day
Hostetter’s Bitters is one of the most popular rente
dli s in Christendom, and commands a larger sale
than any other medicinal preparation, domestic or
imported, on this side of the Atlantic. Asa cure for
dyspepsia, bilious disorders, no ivoub affections, gen
eral debility, and as a preventitive of epidemic fevers,
it takes precedence of every other remedy. This
tact should teach the ambitious country dealers, who
endear or to foist their local abortions on the public
in its stead, how futile their small attempts to cajole
the community must necessarily be. Whero the
game rsb have failel there is no clianne for the
‘ suckers.” sepls-toctl
tOT FAIN MAY BE SAID TO FOLLOW
pleasure .as its shadow, but the misfortune Is that, In
this particular case, the substance belongs to the
shadow ; the emptiness to its cause. But pain may
bo relieved, aud the affliction caused to turn from
“ mourning into gladness,” inasmuch as the “ Old
Carolina B.ttere” is the best hit-ml of the invalid.
