They ssemed to lb***** ’♦'bo iiw them moot The CMQtt friend* of every day; Her (mile wee undisturbed sad sweet, Hu courtesy wse free sad gey. But yet if one the other's nsme In some unguarded moment heard. The heart you thought so calm and tame Would straggle like a captured bird. And letters of mere formal phrase Were blistered with repeated tears; And this was not the work of days, Bat had gone on for years and years. Alas! that lore was not too strong For maiden nhuDS iad xnwily pride ! Alas ! that they delayed so long The goat of mutual bliss beside! Yet what no chance could then reveal. And neither would be first to own, Let fate and coirs .e now conceal, When truth could bring remorse alone. UNGATHKHED LOVE. When the Autumn winds go wailing Through branches yellow and brown, When the gray Bad light is falling, And the day is going down— I hear the desolate evening sing Of a Love that bloomed in the early Spring, And which no heart had for gathering. I and my lover do dwel' apart, We twain may never be one— We shall never stand beatt to heart. Then what can be said or done. When winds, and waters, ani song birds ring Of a Love that bloomed in the early Spring, And which no heart had for gathering. When day is over and night descends, And dark mitts circle and rise. I fall asleep, and slunVer befriends, For I dre m of April skies. But I wake to hear the silence emg , Of a Love that bloomed in the early Spring, And which no heart had for gathering. When the dawn comes in with wind and rain, And birds awake in the eaves, And rain drops smite the window pane, And drench the eddying leaves— I hear the voice of the daybreak sing Of a Love that bloomed in the early Spring, And which no heart had forgathering.

WARREN COUNTY. Political .Halter*—A Review sf the Field— lilitr tke Has fer ike (Mce. Editors Chronicle and Sentinel: Wabmktos, July 6.—Yon will oblige me by allowing me to communicate to the people of Warren county through your popular paper, knowing full well its popularity among the good people of onr county. I feel assured that what I have to aay will reach the eyea of every true citizen. We are ob the eve of a very important event with the citizens and tax payers of this and other conn ties of the State of Georgia. July 15th, instant, is act apart for the holding of a Democratic mass meeting for the ex press purpose of reorganizing the Demo cratic party of this county and to elect delegates to the Gubernatorial Conven tion, to be held in Atlanta, August 2d, to place at the helm of the State a man that can do honor to the place of Gov* r nor. We want a man who can inspire the masses, break down cliques, drag oat independents and kill the Radical party in this our beloved Empire State. We see among the list of candidates mentioned for the place of Governor men whose sole ambition is to be at the head if the people for the honor to be attain ed. We also see among the list those •chose object is a pecuniary one, also men who wish to serve their people. Among the list is one wijo seems to be after honor and fame. After years of toil between the plow dandles, he thinks he has a title to a seat in the “ White House.” James says he is often asked by his friends why he is ambitions for the Governorship, and he tells them that as the people saw fit to make him Mayor of Atlanta, he thinks the people of the State want his financiering qualities as head magistrate of the State. General Colquitt is a man who wants and needs a home. The General can’t be blamed for that, but the people say that they are not looking up charita ble objects to fill the place of Governor. General Colquitt is no doubt a man of good moral cnaracter, bat we must say that in onr candid opinion the General is not capable of bolding the office. The qnestion is often asked for General Colquitt’s record as a man of mind. The only answer I have ever heard is that he was a gallant soldier. We must say that that is a very poor pretext to command votes. We honor General Colquitt for his gallantry, and wish that we could have had a great many more like him. Bat we can’t vote for Col quitt on that alone. There are other candidates whose capacity we consider on a par with James and Colquitt. Who shall we nominate and elect for our Governor ? Shall it be a man who is af ter honor and fame, to satisfy his own ambitious nature ? Shall it be a man who seeks the office for income, or shall it be one who seeks the interests of his countrymen ? I think I can name the man who is after the interests of his countrymen ; and that is the Honorable H. V. Johnson. It is a name thut thrills the heart of every Georgian with enthusiasm. Gov. Johnson doesn’t se< k the office, he is simply a servant of his people, and if it is their desire to have him reign over them, he will do so to the best of his ability. Gov. Johnson is no new man among the people of this State. He has served them before with marked ability. His sterling qualities are hon oied ’by the old, and the young are taught from their cradles to honor, love and serve his great name. So let all Demoorats meet in convention, July 15th, in Warrenton, and by ballot, elect Johnson delegates to the State Conven tion. I think itproper for the young men of the State to organize themselves into a young men’s Democratic Club, and do all they can to advance the cause of the Democratic nominees in the coming campaign. Citizen. HON. AUGUSTUS REESE. The Record of a Patriot—A Good Alan for C*oreruor. Editors Chronicle and Sentinel: The Chronics and Sentinel, of Sun day, the 2d instant, contained the cor respondence between Hon. A. Reese and General Pope in the year 1867. It is just what I, in common with a large number of citizens of Georgia, desired to see in print, and it is particularly gratifying that it was republished in a newspaper of the extensive circulations and well deserved influence of the Chronicle and Sentinel, so ably con ducted by yourselves. It is well known to the people of Georgia that the cor respondence referred to was terminated by a military order from General Pope, which he designated as “a positive pro hibition against the further exercise of the office of Judge of the Ocmulgee Cir cuit, because of the refusal of Judge Reese to conform to the military orders concerning juries in this State.” The letter of Judge Reese to General Pope stated that he could not conform to those orders, because they were in direct conflict with his obligation, imposed by his oath of office. It was because he would not violate tj>at obligation that he was summarily ejected from the offioe to which he had been unanimously elected. I'he readiug of this evidence of what manner of man he is, involuntarily sug gests the exclamation oh ! that all Fed eral and State officers were such as he. I subscribe most heartily to the idea .that under our form of government, office holders are but the servants of the people, and as a consequence, as a gene ral rule, no citizen can be said to have a claim upon the people for any office. In one sense, the election to or continu ance fu office of one distinguished for his ability and devotion to the State mav be regarded as a reward for such ability and devotion, bt in truth, those possessing such qualifications are or should be seleatad to bear rule because the public welfare will be best provid ed bv their selection. Under this view, it cannot be disputed that Judge Reese is a proper man to be made the next Governor of Georgia. My own judg ment beiug the test, I know that I am within the bounds of truth when I say that he is pre eminently qualified for the position. Though be ha ß filled the numerous official positions to Yhipl) he has been called with groat ability find scrupulous fidelity, his acknowledged administrative talent, together witU his other qualifications, would enable him to do more for the advancement of all the interests of his native State, as Chief Magistrate than in any other po sition. But if there be any eseeptioe to tfie general rule, mentioned above, Judge Keese is certainly within the exception and has claims upon the people of Geor gia. These claims are based upon pub lic asrviaes, ably, faithfully and consci entiously discharged, upon his removal, by the arbitrary, despotic exercise of military power, from a Judgeship to which he had been elected by ttte .undi vided suffrages of his fellow-citizens, and upon the fact that when recom mended in 1868, byjthe unanimous vote of the “Central Executive Committee of the National pemocratic party” to the people of Georgi* as a candidate for Governor, in the following words: "Re sol#e4 That in view of these principles and objects, we recommend to the peo ple of every aam e and faith, who have the honor and welfare of Georgia at heart, that able jurist, conservative statesman and ineorrupdb** patriot, Augustus Rsese, of tee county pf gan, as their ewdidate for Governor at the approaching election.' He wasforced to decline the nomination because “by the ordinance of the Atlanta Convention ■ iu connection with the reconstruction 1 laws of Congress," he “was not eligible | to the offiia .find could not conscienti- I ouslv outer upon the discharge of its duties.” This wag te insurmountable obstante though other co*mderations mentioned to bis letter dealing* tee candidacy had influence. I would ' be glad for the fi>f Georgia to i read the whole of teat tetter, #yt a pro per regard for the demands upon ypuf columns, forbid that I should tax your courtesy farther than to ask the inser tion ot the following extract: ‘ The people Georgia, all the good people of the State, must have, and shall have, if I can bring it to pass, bat one candidate for Governor, that all the good may cast their votes upon one good man with a good hope of success. Such a man I regard Judge David Irwin to be—a native Georgian, familiar with the interests, peculiarities and wants of onr entire population-identi fied in every respect with tee honor and prosperity of the Bta e, and who, l feel every confidence, if elected, would shape its legislation and mould its ju diciary with an eye single to the good id ail the people. It te wae tee he and I have not always agreed past, nor am I prepared to L?y that accord in T oar viiws, but after inquiir lam satisß and he can come qrart* JWrting all who love Georgia and woti.d iavg I from plunder and degradation than any mao within the range of my acquaint ance. * ‘ * How cap finy man, with a spark of patriotism iu hi* boart, stand in tee way of perfect harmony, among all good wen, without regard to past differences of opinion who are now disposed to unite in tee effort to rescue Georgia from Urn clutch of grasping ad venturers and greedy plunderers. Proof of his disinterested patriotism *hd de votion to Georgia, could be multiplied were it necessary, but the above estab lishes most conclusively, that an earli est, heart-felt desire to promote t ha welfare of all classes and conditions of hi s f<*lqw-citizens, uninfluenced by any nersouil or selfish considerations, is the rule ofhis conduct. Such a man, and snch onSy, should be called to high po sition, I venture tee prediction that, should the people of Georgia select Au gustus Reese for their next Chief Mag istrate his administration will be so con ducted that when, at the expiration of the official term, judgment shall be passed upon it, the whole people will unite in pronouncing the sentence, well done, good and faithful servant Georgian. OUB TALIAFERRO LETTER. f Prom cm Occasioned Correspondent.\ Crawfordville, July 10.—Thinking perhaps something from onr county might interest some of your readers, I will send a few lines to yoar popular paper. I believe politics heads the pro gramme just at this juncture. The people of our town and vicinity after having been called by the Chair man of the Executive Committee of this connty assembled at the Court House a few days ago to express their preference of the many candidates for onr next Governor, and to elect dele gates to the Convention of August 2d. Onr town will send Johnson dele gates. We carried onr county eighty to twenty for Johnsonin the nominatio". They want a man who will serve the ritate, not the state the man. Crops in this part of country, where they have been kept in order, are look ing well and are in a growing condition. A great deal has been said about the hard times and the general state of af fairs, bat my judgement is that the country is better off to-day than it has been for two or three years, daring which time the people were descending the ladder of rain from which never to be extricated for years had. they not made the grain crop of the present year. If they can make enough cotton at the price it now* brings to cancel their debts they have a good grain crop to operate upon, and can easily retrace their steps and soon reach the place from whence they started. J D. R. TRIED AS BY FIRE. A FULL HISTORY OF A CLERICAL SCANDAL. A Pastor Accused of Immorality—A Search ing Investigation—A Woman at the Bottom of the Case—The Accased Alan Fully Cleared—The Prosecutrix Turned out of Church. {Special Correspondence Chronicle and Sentinel.} Gbeenesboro, Ga. , July 10th, 1876 The French proverb that “a lie will travel seven leagues while Truth is putting on her boots,” has very aptly illustrated an occurrence here which, has stirred up the social circle of this community in such a manner as it has never before experienced. It appears that about a month ago, a son of a well known gentleman of Greene connty was turned out of the Baptist Church for drunkenness and other immoral acts unbecoming a professing Christian. The turning ont was not done, until every known means of reformation was tried with the erring young brother, but he was deaf to entreaties and laughed at the threat of expulsion. After the church had acted on his case, the mother of the young gentleman it is alleged, im mediately set in circulation a most dam aging series of reports affecting the moral standing of the Baptist preacher in this place- Rev. C. H. Strickland— and related circumstances with great particularity, connecting the reverend gentleman with ladies of the highest re spectability in this community. Ths names of no less than four ladies were mentioned in these damaging reports and three of them were widows—all of them beautiful and accomplished— against whom the brea'h of suspicion had never been raised. These reports flew like wild-fire through the commu nity and caused a social earthquake. As soon as they came to the ears of the accused pastor, he acted with great promptness, decision and judgment. A conference of his church was held, the matter was laid before them by Mr. Strickland, and a committee of five was appointed, consisting of Capt. W. H Branch, E. C. Kinnebrew, Esq., T. D. Sanford, S. J. Monorief, and G. A. Da vis, jr., “for the purpose of investigat ing some rumors affecting the character of Rev. C. H. Strickland, with authority to cite any member before the Confer ence of the Church, for any offense in connection with these rumors.” The committee at once proceeded with the task imposed on them, and yesterday their report was laid before the church and acted on. Your correspondent attended the Bap tist Church at the morning service, and was much impressed to note what a large and intelligent congregation was assem bled, comprising as it did, the most prominent citizens of this beautiful lit tle oity. A large portion of the congre gation consisted of ladies, and every one looked grave and seemed to realize the solemnity of the occasion. It was not a funeral certainly, but it was to pass upon the future well being of one of God’s appointed disciples, and the meet ing gathered were to pass sentence upon their pastor—whether he should live or die a moral death. No one present oould fail to be impressed with what fervor all entered into the devotional exeroises preceding the conference. The accused man’s demeanor was that of of an innocent man, and this opinion is based upon an extensive acquaintance with men of all conditions. He stood in the pulpit a man of possibly 30 years of age, the finest type of physical man hood in all the brotherhood of Ministers of Georgia, with a clean cut cleanly shaved, honest looking face, ana a manner at once graceful and engaging. After singing several hymms in whiob that grand old “Rock of Ages” was de lightfully prominent, Mr. Strickland at once entered upon his sermon, taking his text from James, “They were called Christians first at Antioch.” He then proceeded to explain the meaning of the terra “Christians,” and gave a vivid description of the difference between those oalled Christians and true be lievers. He is certainly a powerful preacher, and while not a college grad uate, he has studied to advantage, and uses choice and appropriate language. He has a natural gift of oratory, and it Yfis not hard to understand why he is so inflofi bploved and admired, not only by his own congregation, but by all those with whom ne is .brought into con tact. He does not round bis periods too ornately, but like a skillful' painter with a bold master hand he puts on the canvass before his followers a living picture, clear cut and true to nature. After the religious services were con cluded Mr. Strickland announced that it was bis desire that fill the proceedings in regard tq the investigation of matters connected with the rumors should be in public, and he requested all to remain. He then suggested the appointment of a Moderator, and James L. Brown, Esq., was chosen. The conference then open ed with prayer by P. B. Robinson, donnjy Judge. Capt. Branch then on behalf of tfe Investigating Committee arose and mafic fi report. He stated briefly that they bad found muchdiffi cnlty in tracing out the source of the rumors affecting the character of Mr. Strickland, but in every case all the re pot ts were eventually found to originate wite tee lady whose son had been turn ed out of church for misconduct. The committee had mafic a thorough inves tigation, and performed tfie duty with out regard or favor toward spy one. Thpy found reports had been indns Iriously peculated, and on oiting the lady to substantiate her charges, “she denied knowing anything, believed noth ing, and had said nothing derogatory to the pharactey of Mr: Strickland, and would sign any paper to that effect.” This s ttled the matter conolnsively so far as the pastor was eoncejmed, but the committee then decided to summon the originator of these damaging reports be iopo the church, and sh© was accordiog ly BQsimiNmj to answer to the charges of “slander; apd pitting in circulation slanderous reports.” fMte Wfts aiso no ticed to appear' at tee preseni con ference. The report was received and the com mittee was discharged. Jodge Robin son then moved thfit a resolution be adopted that the rnmprS about Bro ther Strickland were based on malicious tlies; and it be so entered upon the church minutes. In offering this reso lution, Judge Robinson called upon any one having aught to say against Mr. Strickland to now stand forth. There was no response, and the resolution was adopted- W. G. Durham, Esq., then moved teat the author of the reports be excluded from the church for slan der and for circulating slanderous re ports. Dr. J. E. Walker seconded the resolution, and it wss unanimously adopted. The Conference then fidjonrn ed, and Mr. Strickland waa surrounded by his congregation, who tendered him their congratulations. The verdict of the church gives universal satisfaction, and I have failed to hear a single voice raised in opposition. It is rumored that the traduced pastor will seek a le ral remod*/ i*eu those who were consulted in puSHf % maybe mentioned tnefiamc of Judge Stocks, one of the most prominent mem bers ot tee Baptist persuasion, and to his clear brain and extensive knowledge the committee were indebted for advice and counsel. By reason pf his extreme age, being over ninety years, Judge Stoi&s was net present at the trial, bnt being kept folly posted, he approved all that was dons. F. The tteninr Glass of Emory College, which graduates this Centennial year, is said to be one of the finest looking and best informed class of yoang seen that, ever lefhthe classic halls of that noted and famed institution. GOVERNOR HAYES’ ANSWER. HE ACCEPTB THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. He Asprera the Platferei—Civil Service Helene —A Rebake te Grant—Ne Second Tern* Specie Payment*—N* Step* Back ward—The Public School* The Sonth— The Cealif Cabinet.? Cincinnati, July 9. The following is the letter of Governor Hayes accept ing the Republican nomination for the Presidency: Columbus, 0., July B. — Hon. Edward ’ McPherson, Hon. Wm. A. Howard, Hon. Joseph H. Rainey and others. Committee of the Republican National Convention: Gentlemen— ln reply to yonr official communication of Jane 17th, by which I am informed of my nomination for the office of President of the United States by the Republican National Convention at Cincinnati, I accept the nomination with gratitude, hoping that nnder Pro vidence I shall be able, if elected, to execute the duties of the high office as a trust for the benefit of all the people. I do not deem it necessary to enter upon any extended examination of the de claration of principles made by the Con vention. The resolutions are in accord with my views, and I heartily concur in the principles they announce. In sever al of the resolutions, however, questions are considered which are of such impor tance that I deem it proper to briefly ex press my convictions in regard to them. The Fifth Resolution Adopted by the Convention is of paramount interest. More than forty years ago a system of making appoint ments to offioe grew up based upon the maxim “to the victors belong the spoils.” The old rule, the true rule, that honesty, capacity and fidelity con stitute the only real qualifications for office and that there is no other claim, gave place to the idea that party ser vices were to be chiefly considered. All parties in praotice have adopted this system. It has been essentially modi fied since its first introduction. It has not, however, been improved. At first the President, either directly or through the heads of Departments, made all the appointments, but gradually the appoint ing power, iu many cases, passed into the c introl of members of Congress. The offices in these cases have become not merely rewards for party services, but rewards for services to party leaders. This system destroys the independence of the separate departments of the Gov ernment. It tends directly to extrava gance and official incapacity. It is a Temptation to Dishonesty. It hinders aDd impairs the careful su pervision and strict accountability by which alone faithful and efficient public service can be secured. It obstructs the prompt removal and sure punishment of the unworthy. In every way it degrades the civil service and the character of the Government. It is felt, lam confident, by a large majority of the members of Congress to be an intolerable burden and an unwarrantable hinderance to the proper discharge of their legitimate duties. It ought to be abolished. The reform should be thoroughly radical and complete. We should return to the principles and practice of the founders of the Government, supplying by legisla tion, when needed, that which was for merly the established custom. They neither ex-ected nor desired from the public officer any partisan service. They meant that public officers should owe their whole service to the Government and to the people. They meant that the officer should be secure iu his tennre as long as his personal character remained untarnished and the performance of his duties satisfactory. If elected, I shall conduct the Administration of the Government upon these principles, and all constitutional powers vested in the Executive will be employed to establish this reform. The declaration of princi ples by the Cincinnati Convention makes no announcement in favor of a Single Presidential Term. I do not a-sume to add to that decla ration; but believing that the restora tion of the civil service to the system established by Washington and followed by the early Presidents can be best ac complished by an Executive who is un der no temptation to use the patronage of his office to promote his own re-elec tion, I desire to perform what I regard as a duty in stating now my inflexible purpose, if elected, not to be a candi date for a second term. On the currency question I have frequently express ed my views in public and stand by my record on this subject. I regard all the laws of the United States relating, to the pay ment of the publio indebtedness, the le gal tender notes included, as constitut ing A Pledge and Aloral Obligation Of the Government which must in good faith be kept. It is my conviction that the feeling of uncertainty inseparable from an irredeemable paper currency, with its fluctuations of value, is one of the great obstacles to a revival t f confi dence and business, and to a return of prosperity. That uncertainty can be ended in but one way, the resumption of specie payments. But the longer the instability connected with our present money system is permitted to con tinue, the greater will be the in jury inflicted upon the eco nomical interests of all classes of society. If elected I shall approve of every appropriate measure to ac complish the desired end and shall op pose any step backward. The resolu tion with respect to The Public Schools System is one which should receive the hearty support of the American people. Agitation upon this subject is to be ap prehended until, by constitutional amendment, the sohools are placed be yond all danger of sectional control or interference. The Republican party is pledged to seoure such an amendment. The resolution of the Convention on the subject of the permanent pacification of the country and the complete protection of all its oitizens in the free enjoyments of all their constitutional rights is timely and of great importance. The Condition of the Southern States Attracts the attention and commands the sympathy of the people of the whole Union. In the progressive recovery from the effects of the war their first necessity is au intelligent and honest administration of Government which will protect all olasses f citizens in their political and private rights. What the South most needs is peace, and peace depends upon the supremacy of law. There can be no enduring peace if the constitutional rights of any por tion of the people are habitually disre garded. A division of the political par ties, resting merely upon distinction of race or upon sectional lines, is always unfortunate, and may be disastrous. The welfare 'of the South, alike with that of every other part of the country, depends upon the at tractions it can offer to labor, to im migration and to capital. But laborers will not go and. capital will not venture, where the Constitution and the laws are set at (defiance, and distraction, appre hension and al® rm fake the place of peace-loving and law-abjding social life. All parts of the Constitution are sacred and must be sacredly observed-rthe parts that are new no less than the parts that are old. The moral and material prosperity of the Southern States can be most effectively advanced by a hearty and generous Recognition of the rights of all by all—recognition without re serve or exception.

RICHMOND DEMOCRACY. • LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC MEET ING. Patriotic Addresses—Selection of Delegates to the Uobernatorial Convention —Resolu- tions Adapted—Perfect Harmony Prevails. Pursuant to resolution adopted by the Democratic Executive Committee of Richmond county, at its recent meeting, a mass meeting of citizens was held at the City Hall yesterday, at 12 o’clock, for the purpose of re-electing delegates to the Gubernatorial Convention and to oonfer together in reference to the inter ests of the party. Fully three hundred persons were present and the utmost good feeling pre vailed. The meeting was called to order by Hon. Adam Johnston, Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee. He said that in accordance with the resolu tion passed by the committee, instruct ing him to nominate the temporary chairman of every mass meeting, he would now nominate Jadge Wm. T. Gould as temporary chairman. Judge Gould took the chair amid loud applause. He said that be felt flattered by the selection of himself to presid over the meeting. It had been a long time since he had anything to do with politics. Thirty years ago none were more aotive in politics than he. He did not know that he conld hold an office more gratifying than the one he was called npon now to fill. The first thing in order would be the selection of perma nent officers. Judge W. W. Montgomery moved that the temporary cha’rman be elected per manent chairman. [Applause.] The motion was unanimously adopted. Judge Gould said he felt still more highly honored by that vote. Judge Shewmake moved that M. P. Foster, Esq., be elected permanent Secretary. Adopted. The Chairman asked Mr. Johnston to state the object of the meeting. Mr. Johnston said it was to select delegates to the Gubernatorial Conven tion. Major Camming said that it was also to eonsnlt. about the interests of the Democratic party. Mr. W. K. Nelson offered the follow ing resolutions : Whereas, Much dissatisfaction and great difference of opinion having arisen in the Democratic party of Richmond county as to tbe Gubernatorial Conven tion, to reconcile all such differences and to produce harmony in the party. Resolved, Ist, By the citizens of Rich mond county in mass meeting assem bled that an election be held in each pre cinct in the connty and each ward in the city, on day of , for the differ ent candidates lor Governor, and at the same time appoint delegates from each ward and precinct. Resolved, 2d, That the delegates chosen at said election shall assemble at the Court House on the day after the election and consolidate • the votes for Governor and appoint delegates to the Atlanta Convention, to represent the will of the people as shown by their election. Mr. W. H. Howard moved that the resolutions be laid upon the table. — Adopted. 8. F. Webb, E?q., nominated the fol lowing ticket of delegates to thG Guber natorial Convehtion: W. H. Howard, J. T. Shewmale, J. B. Cumming, Sam’l W. Mays, h\. J. Carswell, J. C. C. Black, H. D D. Twiggs, Dr. DeSaussure Ford, Johu Doscher, J. M. Turpin, J. F. Armstrong and H. G. Wright. He moved in addi tion that all or any of them have the right to cast the vote of the county in the Gubernatorial Convention. Mr. W. M. Dunbar asked if the vote was to be by ballot. The Chair said he understood that it was to be taken by acclamation. Mr. W. H. Warren moved that it bo by ballot. Major Cumming said there was no other ticket in the field, and it would be a useless waste of time to vote by ballot. He had no objection to a ballot, and if there was aDy other ticket in the field he would heartily support that plan. Mr. Wa. ren withdrew his motion, and the ticket nominated by Mr. Webb was then elected unanimously, amid great applause. Major Cumming offered the following resolutions: Resolved, That public office is not a prize of personal ambition or a reward for publio services, however distinguish ed, but a trust to be exercised for the good of its constituents. And the higher the offioe, the more solemn the trust. Resolved, That other things being equal, that man is best fitted for office to whom it comes unsought; for then the circumstances of his elevation furnish strong assurance that he will enter of fice independent, untrammelled, and free, in the bestowal of his patronage, to consult only the public good. Resolved, That in ex-Gov. Herschel V. Johnson we recognize in an emi nent degree the mental and moral qualifications of a great and good Chief Magistrate; and in his attitude of willingness to accept, and unwillingness to seek, office,the fulfillment of this ideal of citizenship, and we hereby declare our preference for him for the office of Governor. Resolved, That while we enunciate these principles we thrust. them upon no one; and while we declare this pref erence we do not perversely and capti ously insist on it. We recognize other good men and true Democrats contend ing for the office of Governor, and while adheringtoour sentiments as sentiments, we will heartily support any one of these that the Convention may nomi nate, and we leave our delegates free to do in the Convention whatever may to them appear then to be best for the pub lio good. 9laj. J. B. Cumming’fl Speech. It is not necessary that I should say anything in elucidation or support of the resolutions. So far as they deal in general propositions, they simply enunciate well established principles; and so far as they relate to a distinguish ed citizen of Georgia—nothing, that I could say, would add to the fullness and completeness of his name and fame. I would only say that they are my own feeble exposition of what is known as the “Johnson movement.” That move ment sprung from the feeling of some meu that we were drifting away from true ideas of citizenship and offioe hold holding. Coupled with this appre hension, was a fear, springing from the constitution of human nature itself, that any man, however pure his character and elevated his sentiments, could not greatly desire or strive for office, through a period extending over many months and years with out parting with some degree of that independence which the Gov ernor of the State, with his immense patronagte, ought to have. The move ment took np as the embodiment of its spirit ex-Governor Johnson. There is nothing in the resolutions but the ex pression of the well known and true and sound idea, that “the office should seek the man,” and the putting forward of a great and good man as the leader of those who entertain these views. There is nothing in these resolutions not con tained in the letter to Governor John son. That letter has been severely cri ticised, but after all the assaults amount to this, that it was a breach of good taste to speak in terms of such high praise of Governor Johnson. No one has ventured to say that it ut tered unsound principle or put forward an unworthy man. Happy, Mr. Chair man, is any man or set of men who can engage in active life and be charged with nothing more than breaches of taste. This is the scope of the ‘‘Johnson movement.” Where is the wrong in it ? Yet it has been fiercely and angrily at tacked here in Richmond county. lam glad to say, there has been no angry re tqrt. J think there will be none. Conscious that we have don® no wrong to any man, that we have invaded no right of onr fellow-citizens, we calmly and serenely await the return of a better spirit in our brethren, confident that such a spirit is sure to come to them, whether it be through tbe chasten ing of defeat or the elation of victory. Juflge Hook rose to second the resolu tions and hoped the meeting would lis ten to him pqtiently for a few moments while he explained bis reasons for so doing. He mingled but little iu politics but he had a deep interest in the affairs of the country. No man’s motives should be questioned iu his choice of a candidate. Jt made no * difference whether he was for Johnson, or Reese, or James, or Warner, or Harde man, or Colquitt. He was entitled to confidence; he was a Democrat. What thought they of such a spirit which ad vised Colquitt men to stay away from this meeting and avoid the Johnson men as they would Sioux Indians ? What had they done that called for each an assault ? He knew Randall did not mean to be intentionally offensive. He knew Colquitt and admired him, and if the Johnson movement did not succeed no man would support Colquitt more heartily than he. He would make a good Governor. Herschel V. Johnson’s fame was not goUfined to Georgia. He was known all over the South; all over the Union, as the strongest conservative man in Geor gia. His friend, Randall, had even made objection to Governor Johnson because be bad been a Donglflfiß man. Well, he expected that many regretted that there had uWbeep mote Douglass men. Who is it that th roQ S h alltnafa has been as true as steel ? Herschel y. Johnson. Recent events show that nothing shakes the “old'man,” as they rail him, from the path of truth and juatioe. “Old man” indeed I I! they saw him presid ing over the Courts they would think he was in all the vigor of thirty-five. A better man Qod never set his seal upon. When the troubles took place in some of the middle counties he stood like a bulwark of law and justice, neither courting the favor of the North, nor on the other hand afraid to do Jus tice. He did not let prejudice run away with his judgment. He called for the acquittal of those who were innocent and demanded the punishment of those who might be guilty. Now how grand a thing it would be to pdt forward at the helm of the State a man who had the confidence of the entire North. The great complaint was made at the North that the South was putting all its brigadiers in Con gress. He scorned the imputation. But would it not be an opportune time for Georgia to step forward with Hersohel T. Johnson. Johnson will yet be our Governor. Colquitt would get a good vote. He was a good man, a brave man, an honest man. But Johnson was all these and more. Colquitt had his thou sands, but Johnson had bis tens of thou sands. But would he be gratified at the defeat of Colquitt or Hardeman ? Not at all. But he would be gratified at the selection of his preference, Her schel V. Johnson. He would not take one laurel wreath from Geu. Colquitt’s brow, but would far sooner add an other gem te his already full casket of fame. It was not that he loved Col quitt less, but he loved Johnson more. Hon. James C. C. Black was loudly called for. Mr. Black said he would be very un grateful if he did not tender them his acknowledgements for the call. But he id not know that it would be wise in him to say anything more. The John son movement had its origin in a high and exalted patriotism. It was in op position to no man. The movement might yet be defeated, but it would be more to the misfortune of the people than of the gentlemen who originated the movement. He wished to allay any ill feeling which might exist. He hoped that when a candidate was nominated all would support him and that the utmost harmony would prevail. It was moved that the resolutions be acted upon as a whole. Carried. The resolutions were then unanimous ly adopted. Judge Gould said he would like to make a suggestion. Whatever might be the result of the nomination, the nomi nee must be supported without division. Let there be no independent candidate. J. P. Verdery, Esq., said that in view of the fact that the time was not far distant when candidates for the Legis lature would have to be selected and delegates to the Congressional Conven tion appointed, he offered the following resolutions : Resolved, That the Executive Com mittee of this county be and is hereby respectfully requested to issue a call for a County Convention, to be held not later than the 15tli of August, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Legislature, selecting six delegates to the Congressianal Convention, to be held in Thomson, September Bth, and six delegates to a Convention to nomi nate a candidate for State Senator from the Eighteenth Senatorial District. Resolved, That in accordance with party usage in such cases, the Executive Committee be requested to have the delegates to this County Convention chosen by ward and district meetings. Resolved, That as no provisions exist for calling a Senatorial Convention, we request the counties of Jefferson and Glascock to select delegates to meet del egates from Richmond, in the town of Louisville, Wednesday, 23d of August, for the purpose of nominating a candi date for Senator. Adopted. J. P. Yerdery, Esq., offered the fol lowing resolution: Resolved, That the present Executive Committee shall serve for the period of two years from the date of their election, or until their successors are duly elected by a mass meeting of the citizens of the county. Maj. Cumming said that as a member of the committee, he was glad to see that resolution offered. The mass meet ing which appointed the committee ad journed without specifying the length of time they should serve. The resolution was adopted. On motion, the meeting adjourned. DURING THE WAR. JOHNSON IN THE DARK DAYS OP THE SOUTH. The following is a synopsis of a 'speech made by Hon. H. V. Johnson, in Mill edgeville, November, 1863, before his re-election to the Confederate States Senate : He spoke especially of tße impress ment act. He had voted for it—not be cause 'he approved of all its features, but because he thought it necessary tor the support of the army. It was objectionable especially in the feature which allows State Commissioners to fix prices for two months in advance. He thought it should be amended in this particular. His views had been embodied in a separate bill, which had been referred to the committee, who reported the bill adopted. His bill provided that Gov ernment should purchase if possible, and if not, prices should be fixed by special referees in the neighborhood, and then to go, if they could not agree, to the final arbitration of State Commissioners. Mr. Hunter —of whom he spoke in the highest terms—had re ported a bill, a part of which had been adopted by the committee. In spite of the objections to it, he was of the opin ion that the necessities of the case re quired its passage, and he honestly be lieved so still. The necessities of the army had caused impressments to be mad * without any other authority than the Constitution. He thought it should be regulated by law, and hence he had voted for the bill. He believed the bill a necessity—why ? Because those whose duty it was to provide for the army could not get food without impress ment. The army was on less than a quarter of a pound of bacon a day—less than a fifth of what a negro gets—when the law was passed. Longstreet had been sent to Suffolk for supplies; the Secretary of War, it is due to truth and justice to say, had appealed to the people to sell what they could spare to the Govern ment, but supplies from these sources were entirely inadequate. It is said that the bill is oppressive and unequal in its operations. Grant it —but tell us how the army is to be fed without it ? It is said that it is better that the Government go into the market and buy at any price. This might be true if purchases could be made. But does not every man know that when our people are ap proached for their surplus of wheat, corn, hay, fodder or bacon and offered the Government price, or the market price, there stands the greedy and übi quitous speculator ready to give more because he knows that as soon as he gets it the army must buy it at his own price. Then we all know that producers are not above the tempting influences of a probable advance, and are slow to sell, preferring to wait till the advances and the necessities of army and people shall cause advance in prices. The people, he maintained, could not fully realize the necessities of the army, the vast supplies required for its sup port. He believed honestly, before God, that without this law the army would starve. No man regretted more than he did the abuses of the law or had a more ineffable scorn for the miserable wretches who would impose upon the people without authority. They ongtyt to be cropped and branded; but do not hold the framers of the law responsible for abuses in its execution. My hearers, said he, don’t denounce the Governmet as plundering you, be cause nmerable.slimy wretches here and there abuse the law for purposes of filthy lucre. It is unfair to the Govern ment to argue from these abuses that Congress is unfaithful to the Constitu tion and that your rights are in the hands of tyrants. It is unstatesmanlike and unmanly at this heur of peril to fix charges upon the Government that are unjust and do not lie truthfully at its door. * * * * It would not do to wait until the artpy is at the door of the producer or is starving. * * * * It is infinitely better to submit to some injustice, than for our armies to starve and our country to be over-run by the enemy. His views on the conscript act were well known. That law haying been deemed necessary to preserve the organi zation and effectiveness of opr armies,let it be vigorously executed. Apd after sending opr sons to the Qelc) let ps sup port then} without refusing. (A voice— it’s all right.) Tea, it’s all right and when the Government comes for your wheat or bacon don’t higgle about a few dollars, when the welfare of your sous and neighbors is'at stake- His tongue should be palsied before it should be raised against his Government because a law is harsh or unequal in its operations. ******* At all events, said he, let ns be patient and give the law a fair trial. He had voted for the tax bilL *. * * His idea was that just as much of tbs expense of tbs war should b$ ab/sp/bed by taxation as tyie people can bear ; but it must not go to the extent of crushing the energies, industry and patriotic hopes q{ tbp country, a * V He was ready to co-operate with the wisest minds of the country on the adoption of the best practicable means of relief. In his defense and support of the Government he did not mean to say that some errors had not been committed —but right or wrong, he would stand by the Government. [Great applause.] Paralyze its arm by opposition and creating divisions among our people and we go down beneath the tide of subjugation. The standard of his con duct was—is a measure constitutional? If it is, and is neoessary and wise, he would vote for it. If it was not consiitutional he would not vote for it, felt having been adopted as the policy of the country he would not counsel re sistance to it. One revolution at a time is enough. When the passions become aroused, there is no disposition to do justice. Oarpers see nothing right. Just and oandid criticism is manly and proper, but it should not extend to fault finding and opposition. All the energies of the Government are strained to the utmost in the prose cution of the war. He wished he had longer to portray his conception of the importance of our whole people being a unitin its support. Here is our army in the field—the noblest band of heroes that ever figured in the history of the world. With their bosoms bared to the foe they are subjected to hunger, cold and to hardships that no language can describe. How will they feel to see us wrangling over a few dollars taken from us by impressment for their Bupport? If we would encourage them, then let us not indulge fhis grumbling spirit. If we wish to paralyze the Government let it be known that the General Assembly of Georgia has placed itself m opposi tion to the administration. It is no time to divide in sentiment or quarrel about politios. He might say m're, but it was unnec essary. In this struggle all is involved that is dear to a people—home, society, liberty, property, life, honor—with the certainty of the most degrading fate that ever oppressed a people, if we fail. Perils are about üb let us bear them with unflinching devotion and unabated zeal, for it is not recorded in history that eight millions of united people, de termined to be free, have failed of their purpose. We can’t yield to the Federal authorities. Yield—no, never ! there is honor in extermination, but infamy in despair and subjugation. The bleaching bones of 100,000 gallant soldiers slain in battle would be olothed with tongues of fire to curse the everlasting infamy the man who whispers yield. [lntense applause.] God is with us, because He is always with the right. It becomes us to feel that an overruling Providence has charge of us. The whole revolution is in the hands of God. It is ours to do our duty, to cultivate a spirit of su blime confidence, harmony and endu rance, and leave the rest to Him. OUR UNCI.E SAMUEL. The Committee Informs Him of His Nomina tion—Noble Words From the Apostle of Re form. New York, July 12.—The committee appointed by the St. Louis Convention waited on Gov. Tilden to-day. Gen. Mo- Lernand addressed the Governor, out lining the work .of the Convention. Hod. W. B. Hanna, of Indiana, also addressed Gov. Tilden, pledging him the united support of the Indiana Democracy. The following reply was then made by Gov. Tilden : Geneial McClernard and Gentlemen of the Committee : I shall, at by earliest convenience, pre pare and transmit to you a formal ac ceptance of the nomination which you now tender me in behalf of the Dem ooratio National Convention, and I do not desire, on this occasion, to antici pate any topic which might be appro priate to that communication. It may, however, be permitted to me to say my nomination was not a mere personal preference between eminent citizens of the Republic who might very well have been chosen for so distinguished an honor and so august a duty. It was rather a declaration of that illustrious body, in whose behalf you speak, in favor of ad ministrative reform with which events • had associated me in the publio view. The strength, the universality and the efficiency of the demand for administra tive reform in all governments, and es pecially in the administration of the Federal Government, with which the Democratic masses everywhere were in stinct, have led to a series of surprises in the popular assemblages and perhaps in the Convention itself. It would be unnatural, gentlemen, if a popular movement so genuine and so powerful should stop with 3,500,000 of Democrats, that it should not extend by contagion to that large mass of independent voters who stand betweefl parties in our coun try, and even to the moderate portion of the party under whose administration the evils to be corrected have grown up, and perhaps in what we have witnessed therp may be an augury in respect to what we may witness in the election about to take place throughout our country. At least let us hope so and believe so. lam not without experi ence of the difficulty and the labor of effecting administrative reform when' it requires a revolution in policies and in measures long estab lished in government. If I were to judge by the year and a half in which I have been in the State government, 1 should say that the routine duties of the trust I have had imposed on me are a small burden compared with that cre ated by the attempt to change the policy of the government of which I have been the Executive head. Especially is this so where the reform is to be worked out with more or less of the co-operation of public officers who either have been tainted with the evils to be redressed, or who have been incapacitated by the habit of tolerating the wrongs to be corrected, to which they have been consenting witnesses. I, therefore, if your choice should be ratified by the people at the election, should enter upon the great duties which would fall upon me, not as a holiday recreation, but very much in that spirit of oonsecration in which the soldier enters battle. [Ap plause.] But let us believe, as Ido be lieve, that we now see the dawn of a better day for our country, and that difficult as is the work to which the Democratic party with many allies, former members of other parties, has addressed itself, the Republic is yet to be renovated to live in all the future, and to be transmitted to succeeding generations as Jefferson contributed to form it in his day, and as it has been ever since until a recent period—a bless ing to the whole people and to all man kind. [Applause.] Gentlemen, I thank you for the very kind terms in which you have made your communication, and I extend to you collectively and in dividually a most oordial greeting. The oommittee and their friends then entered into a sooial conversation as to the prospects of the coming Oinvass and remained a short time in the hospitable mansion of the Governor.
