CON&TIT UTIONALIST augkjsta, a-a. FRIDAY MORNING. SEPT. 30,1870 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. —.. i«» 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. [Charleston News, 29th.

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.
