be found willing to take that position he
would preside, having no axe to grind.
Taking the Chair, Gen. Wright thanked
the Convention for the honor conferred, and
forcibly counselled the necessity of harmo
ny and unity throughout the county.
On motion of Mr. George Sibley, E. H.
Gray was requested to act as Secretary.

ley, L. R. Collius and C. J. Walker.
Upon the call of the roil it was discover
ed that there was one vacancy each in the
delegation from the Second Ward and the
119th District.
E. B. Purcell moved that delegations

On motion of Mr. Shewmake, the motion
was amended so as to authorize all delega
tions to 1111 vacancies or cast the full vole
of their delegations, and adopted.
In the Second Ward delegation the name
of John Phinizy, Sr., was substituted for
that of John Phinizy, Jr. In the 119th
District the uamc of R. F. Thomas was
substituted for that of E. Perrin.
The vacancies tilled, the convention pro
ceeded with business.
The Chairman announced that the first
business in order was the selection of
CANDIDATES FOR THE LEGISLATURE.
Mr. Shewmake offered the following re
solutions :
Resolved, That candidates for the Legis
lature be chosen one at a time, and by a
two-thirds vole.
Resolved, That two candidates for the
Legislature be taken from Augusta and
the' neighboring villages, and one from the
country.
E. H. Rogers moved an amendment to
the first resolution, that the convention be
governed by the two-thirds rule in all bal
lotinga for candidates.
Upou a vote, the first resolution of Mr.
Shewmake, as amended by Mr. Rogers,
was unanimously adopted.
H. F. Russell moved the following sub
stitute for the second resolution of Mr.
Shewmake:
Resolved, That the representation should
be according to population, and that the
country districts are entitled to one-fourth
of the votes in this convention on balloting
for candidates.
Mr. Shewmake supported his resolution
in a brief speech, taking ground against
the proposed substitute, as having the
effect of preventing a nomination from the
county, in accordance with a time-honored
custom observed in the selection of candi
dates.
Dr. Barton and others favored the nomi
nation of a candidate from the county.
The Chair announced that the question
was upon the adoption of the second reso
lution of Mr. Shewmake, which, upon a
vote, was declared adopted.
After further discussion, Mr. Russell
withdrew his proposed substitute.
On motion of Mr. Shewmake, the con
vention proceeded to the nomination of
candidates for the Legislature.
la accordance with a suggestion made
by the Chairman, it was determined that
the county delegates should make selection
of their candidate, and the city delegates
of their two candidates, the nominations
to be reported to the convention for ratifi
cation, a motion to this effect having been
introduced by Wm. Tanner, and adopted
by the convention.
The convention took a recess, the county
delegations retiring to make their nomina
tion, and the city delegates remaining in
committee session In the grand jury room
for the purpose of nominating two candi
dates for the Legislature.

OUR CANDIDATES.
Major Joseph B. Cumming is a graduate
of Franklin College; one of the most pol
ished of gentlemen, and as a belles letlres
scholar, one of the best in the State. He
served in the late war with distinction,
commencing as a private and subsequently
as a trusted staff officer with Gens. W. H.
T. Walker, Hood, and J. E. Johnston. At
the close of the war, he resumed the prac
tice of law, aud is now one of the most
estimable as well as prominent members of
the bar.
Col. Claiborne Snead is both planter and
lawyer. At the beginning of the war, he
left Augusta for the field as a lieutenant.
He was promoted to the Colonelcy of the
3d Georgia Regiment, for skill and valor,
which regiment he commanded at the
surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomattox.—
In 1865 he was elected to the lower
House of the General Assembly. As
Chairman of a special committee, his in
fluence was paramount in securing for
many maimed soldiers wooden arms and
legs. “'"•‘'"‘s***,..
Walter A. Clevke is thnTspoken^of^by
“ At an at the
“ Mercer University and
“ when the war came was amoqp||te first
“to raise our flag, and remained until it
“ was furled and laid aside. He was fear
less in the track of duty, courageous in
“battle, and even ready in the campus to
“do some good. I will say nothing more
“in his praise. All good, intelligent peo
“ pie will vote for him ; which done, I am
“ certain we will be content.”
Tbe Democracy of this county have pre
sented these three young gentlemen of
probity, high intelligence and moral worth
as fitting candidates to represent them in
the General Assembly. Let there be an
earnest and invincible rally to their sup
port.
The nominees for county officers are men
of Integrity and worth and, if elected, will
discharge the duties of the several offices
to which they have been nominated with
credit to themselves and satisfaction to the
people. Let every true Democrat rally to
their support.
Girardey’s Opera House.— Owing to
the extreme tUerewas
•but a small jMiiiliinif#fiE the Opera House
last night, to honor the farewell appear
ance of Miss Sophie Worrell and her ac
complished burlesque troupe. The “ Grand
Duch. sse ” was repeated, Miss Sophie
AVorrell, in the title role, displaying an
abandon and dash, which, coupled with
her striking beauty and grace, riveted the
appreciation of those present. The other
ladies maintained the high reputation
which they have achieved as first in the
front rank of pretty, talented and be
witching artistes in the burlesque phase
of histrionic accomplishments. The gen
tlemen of the troupe acquitted themselves
with great credit in their respective parts.
Hernandiz and his Japs were immensely
successful in contributing to the amuse
ment of the audience, as they always are,
forming as they do a leading feature of the
entertainments of this troupe.
Miss Worrell and her excellent troupe
go hence to Savannah, to the citizens of
which and our cotemporaries we commend
them as worthy of all patronage.
True Cause of the Atlanta Election
Row. —The Atlanta Sun is informed that
the true origin of the row in the Fifth Ward
of that city on Wednesday, was that a col
ored voter wanted to put in a Democratic
ballot, and was interfered with by some ne
groes who were crowding around the polls.
An attempt was made to stop this inter
ference by some white men. A difficulty
ensued, in which a man named Smith was
struck and badly hurt by a negro. This
negro was arrested by the police, and im
mediately the whole crowd of negroes about
the polls set about effecting his release.
They assaulted the officers with stones,
bricks and clubs, and with their fists, and
one of the officers was severely bitten upon
the hand. They finally succeeded in taking
the prisoner out of the hands of the au
thorities and turned him loos.}.
River News. —The steamer Clyde ar
rived at 12 o’clock Friday night, and will,
we understand, be withdrawn from the
line with her consort, the Wave, until a
meeting of the stockholders arranges some
questions connected with the future man
agement of these boats.
The river, at 3, p. m., registered 4 feet 6
inches, and was on the rise.
Disagreeable Day.— Yesterday was the
most disagreeable day of the season, a cold
rain falling during the entire day, and far
into the night, rendering it unpleasantly
moist for pedestrians, particularly for re
porters in pursuit of local items, which
were distressingly scarce.
Lecture Tuesday Night. —The ladies
of Augusta will bear in mind Dr. Dixons’s
lecture, as the subject is one of great In
terest to them. It Is about the ladies. Go
and hear him Tuesday night at Masonic
Ball- Tickets, 50 cents.
t,“ Words and their Uses.” —We thank
our neighbor, Mr. Quinn, for a copy oi
Richard Grant White’s contributions to
the Galaxy magazine, which have been col
lected In book form, and entitled as the
caption of this article indicates. While by
no means agreeing with Mr. White In
every particular, we cordially admit that
his volume is such an one as the world of
letters does not willingly let die. We
venture to say that sinning against good
taste and grammar is one of the common
est things in life; and he who adds even &
mite to the correction of such an evil de
serves and will receive the gratitude of
mankind. Mr. White has this credit in a
large degree, and all who pretend to schol
arship, or all who wish to acquire a purity
of style should buy his book and keep it
by them as an authority of great value
and consideration.
Mr. Quinn likewise has our thanks for a
budget of illustrated pajiers.
It may not be amiss to state, in this con
nection, that his store is at present filled
with an almost endless variety of the most
beautiful publications, suitable for the hol
idays as well as the passing hour.
The Weber Troupe.— Our theatre-go
ing friends shou’d not fail to remember
that on Monday (to-morow) night, this ac
complished troupe of burlesquers will com
mence an engagement at Girardey’s Opera
House. This company conies well herald*!?.
The Charleston News, of yester.iay, has
the following endorsement:
“ 1 he troupe have made a most favorable
impression during their stay in Charleston,
and have given the public an idea of tiui>
character of a genuine burlesque perform
ance. The singing has been good, the
dancing lively, the dialogue spirited, and
the fun contagious. Ernani, which is an
nounced for to-day, is one of the best pieces
in the repertoire of the troupe, and the
little ones particularly, with their active
Imaginations, will have no difficulty when
they see the performance in believing that
real angels in sliorL clothes and tights have
come to eart h for their especial delectation.”
City Court —Pursuant to adjournment,
the court met at 10 o’clock, yesterday
morning, his Honor Judge Gould presiding.
Cudjo Bryant (colored), convicted of the

tion on Wednesday, W. 11. Stallings and E.
A. Corey, white skin lights of the Radical
party, scritched the name of Alex. Holsey,
negro candidate for Alderman in the First
Ward, and voted aloue for Stallings. The
negroes would do well to remember this
act at the approaching county election,
when Stallings asks their suffrages for him
self as County Treasurer.
Assault and Battery. —John Williams

Bloody Affray at Sfarkville, Lee County
Five Men Killed and Wounded.
Starkville, Qa., )
December 9,1870. f
Editors Teleoraph and Messenger
A most despera.e fight ocrurred here yes
terday afternoon, between William Miller
and Robert G. Terry on one side, and Geo.
Page, Representative of Lee county, and
Solomon Page, Tax Collector, aided and
abetted by a party of ten or twelve negroes.
Having witnessed the whole affair, I shall
give you a plain, unbiased statement of
what I saw, “nothing extenuating nor
aught set down in malice.”
Immediately after the close of Grady’s
circus performance, in the afternoon,
Joiner, the negro Representative from
Dougherty, mounted upon a box near the
canvas, and proceeded to deliver himself of
a speech, hoping to gather an audience
from the crowd leaving the canvas. The
speaker seemed to take special pleasure in
saying hard things of Col. Nelson Tift, the
Democratic candidate for Congress from
this district. Some absurd remark about
this gentlcmau’s character being over
heard by Mr. William Miller, who
was passing, gave the speaker the
lie. Short words then passed between
George Page and Miller, when Robert G.
Terry took the latter by the arm and led
him away. A crowd of negroes imme
diately surrounded Page, and told him that
Miller had called him a “ son of a b—h, and
he must kill him or make him take it back.”
The whole party, headed hy the Pages and
one or two other whites, then went in pur
suit of Miller, brandishing pistols and
knives. Miller and Terry were walking
alone across the square towards the hotel,
when, finding the crowd at their heels,
they turned and ordered them to stand
back. One of the Pages then fired upon
Miller and he returned the shot. A second
shot from the Pages felled Miller to the
ground, when he was pounced upou by a
negro fiend with a knife, who literally cut
him to pieces. After Miller fell the assail
ants concentrated their fire upon Terry,
who drew his pistol aud defended himself,
shooting three of his assailants, and only
when his weapon was empty did he mount
his horse and escape—wounded I am confi
dent, but how badly I could not learn.
The following are the casualties: Wil
liam Miller, killed; George Page, mortally
wounded, shot through the lungs; Solomon
Page, shot through both shoulders; T. M.
Cameron, shot through the arm, and Robert
G. Terry. I understand that others were
slightly wounded, but I did not learn their
names. William Miller had been drinking
during the day, but I understand that he
was highly esteemed by his neighbors as a
peaceable and law-abiding young man.—
He was overseer on the plantation of Col.
W. A. Maxwell. Robert G. Terry and
Solomon Page are also represented to me
as quiet, orderly citizens, and have never
before figured in rows of this kind.
I wish to state that the gentlemen con
nected with Mr. G. G. Grady’s circus, who
were in town at the time, had no connec
tion whatever with this disturbance. Mrs.
G. G. Grady and other ladies connected
with the circus, deserve the thanks of the
public for their kind attention to the
wounded, M.

This enterprise has received the unqualified
endorsement of the press throughout the
country. Among others we select the follow
ing from the Augusta Chronicle nr.d Sentinel,
November 20th :
“In calling Mt‘'nti“n 1“ the great ErrmTiirri
Land Sale of the Derby-FTirmatid other prop
_^i4yr'alrAiken, 8. C., we desire to direct, special
attention to the fact that every purchaser of a
ticket procures a splendid Engraving or a
beautiful Chromo, fully worth the price paid
for the ticket.
“ We have examined these pictures, and find
them really beautiful and valuable works of
art. The large steel engravings, • The Mar
liage of Pocahontas’ and ‘The Landing of
Columbus,’ and the beautiful ehromo, ‘An
American Autumn,’ will be attractive orna
ments for any gentleman’s parlor, and we ad
jdseall our readers who desire to procure
such '’pictures, to
manager, Mr. .1. C.
“ But the feature of this enterprise, which
gives it peculiar value, is the distribution
among the ticket holders of the valuable real
estate iu Aiken known as the Derby Fruit
Farm. This is decidedly the most valuable and
attractive property in the South. It comprises
about seven hundred acres of desirable farm
ing lands in and near the village ot Aiken,
aud is divid' and into uinely-lour lots, villa sites
and farms.
“This is no bogus concern. Mr. J. C. Derby,
the general manager, is well aud favorably
known throughout, the United States as an ex
pmienred aud successful hook publisher iu
NeW York. For in are than two years he has
been a resident ol Aiken, and for the past
twelve mou'lts has been at the head of a large
publishing house in this city. We have known
him long and well, and fei 1 no hesitation in
saying that he would not he connected with
any enterprise which was not entirely merito

purchase tickets iu his great land sale will be
fully compensated lor the amount iuvested.
