FOB GOVER
Hon. Rufus E. Lester,
OF CHATHAM COUNTY.
Tuesday, June 22, 1880.
Political Notice Important to
Remember.
The State Gubernatorial Convention,
will be held at Atlanta, Wednesday,
August 4th.
Primaries to send delegates to the
Gubernatorial Convention will be held
in all counties, on Wednesday, July
2lst, by the same recommendation.
Each county will be entitled to two
delegates to each Convention, for every
member it has in the lower branch of
the General Assembly.
The Cincinnati Convention:
The National Democratic Conven¬
tion was called to meet in Cincinnati
tO'day at twelve o’clock. Allowing for
difference of time, the business of the
session could not well have been com'
xnenced much before half-past twelve
o’clock by Savannah time, and on ac¬
count of the hour of our going to press
we can give but little of to-day's pro¬
ceedings.
A Christian Demagogue.
We have great respect for the Rev.
H. W. Beecher as an original thinker,
an able divine, and a clear headed
scholar. But as a politician, he is a
miserable failure, and as unmitigated a
demagogue as we have ever read after.
He ia false to truth, a misrepresenter
of facts, and illogical in his declara¬
tions.
We clip from the Christian Union,
Mr. Beeoher’s paper, the following
false and absurd reason why Gen. Gar¬
field was nominated. We all know
he was a “dark horse’’ taken up without
thought and as a last resort to get a
supposed available candidate. But
since his record is being exposed, those
Who nominated him, admit the great
blunder, and wish it was to do over
again so that such a man as Fish or
Edmunds could be nominated—men
whose personal and political character
could bear close and critical investiga¬
tion. Gen- Garfield was an accident
as to the nomination; a fair specimen
of “luck” without thought or
planning.
But to the Union article :
The nomiuation of Gen.
w\a made by men who did not

in&ted him. He was nominated

sion to be a Democratic slander.

we want to get pure sophistry,
Aaical show of truth, and
ligio demagoguism, show ua a so-called
religious paper which dabbles in poli¬
tics through its columns, or a minister
who disgraces his pulpit with semi"
political-religious harangues.
Jeff. Davis—His Views of the
Southern Confederacy.
Ex-President Jefferson Davis, Gen.
Jnbal A. Early and J. U. Payne, tes¬
tified in the case of the will of Sarah
A. Dorsey, who left Mr. Davis her
legatee, contested cm the ground of
undue influence, which Mr. D^vis ear
phatically denied. Mrs. Dorsey, he
sa -id, believed that the Confederacy still
existed ; that its truths were eternal
and would ever prevail. He believed
this too, and if that was insanity, both
he and M.s Dorsey were crazy.
Some of our Southern contemporary
ies of the press, differ with Mr. Davis,
and are inclined to believe Mr. D. is
insane if ne says the Confederacy still
exists. Words mean something when
they are used to convey a direct and
positive idea, A thing may exist in
the mind or thought as an actual fact;
and in the mind it i3 a fact; though
it may have no material existence. The
soul is a fact, though it has no material
existence.
Does the Confederacy exist as an
immaterial government, We hold
that it does ; though policy
might dictate a denial. Does
State Rights exist as our fathers,
the framers of the Federal Constitu¬
tion, understood aud advocated them
in the organization of this government?
We hold that they do. No matter
the denial of a portion of the American
people of the fact.
Does the Southern Confederacy ex¬
ist in the spirit, “that all governments
are by the consent of the governed ;”
and that when a government ceases to
afford that protection to the rights,
interests and honor of the people, that
it has ceased as to the purposes of its
creation ? We hold that it has.
What then means at this time the
Confederate monuments erected all
over the South to the dead who fell in
battle in defense of Southern rights?
Certainly it was not love or
sentiment that dictated their
erection, lor tbose feelings die
with the generation that gave expres'
sion to them. It was something more!
something more tangible, something
more real, something imperishable, and
that something which is handed down
from “sire to son.’’ We mean those
imperishable principles, principles the
■word cannot destroy, law cannot ab¬
rogate, policy cannot compromise, ex¬
pediency cover up, or tyranny crush
out. Force may hold principles in
abeyance, the sword silence for a while,
and policy ignore as a blind, but like
the religious feeling iu the human
heart it ever seeks expression in thought
and iu action. As long as the Confeder¬
ate monuments endure, the principles of
the Southern Confederacy will be cher¬
ished in the hearts of Southern men,
and will be to them what the “Declar'
ation of Independence" is to the Ameri¬
can people—a people free and inde¬
pendent of the rest of the world. Wipe
out the present Federal Government,
yet, the principles of the “Declaration"
would still live in the hearts of the
American people, whether there be one
or half dozen Republics. God lives,
whether we have temples or not to wor¬
ship Him in; so liberty lives in the
temple of the human heart of every
brave, free and independent people.
The words “Editor" and “Author"
have plain and well understood mean¬
ings says the .Richmond Whig. “Edi¬
tor” is one who revises and overlooks
articles for publication in a newspaper,
&c. “Author" is one who originates
or composes, &c. The Editor ia re¬
sponsible for the publication; the Au
thor is responsible for the origination
or composition. When a man avows
that he is responsible both as Editor
and Author, he means that as Author
he wrote the article, and as Editor he
published it. What can be plainer ?
MOSCOW lately lost a self-taught poet
in the person of Ivan Surakoff. Since
1S52 his contributions to the Russian
press were frequent, and by 1S77 no
less than three volumes of his collected
poems had appeared. Tney were ex
tremelv popular, and gained him wide
reputation; but, knowing that poetry
seldom pays pecuniary.Surakoff trade, and mizht be wise
lv stuck to his Seen
working in his shop in one of the
markets of Moscow, with a sheet or
two of paper near him for jotting down
i a verse or two which might come into
his head as he soldered a kettle.
The poverty of Italy is well shown
in the fact that although the only re
quisite $S for voting ia the payment of a
tax of there are bat half a million
eiec’ors iu the kingdom, of whom less

BY TELEGRAPH.
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
AN IMMENSE GATHERING.
The Greatest Harmony and
Enthusiasm Prevails.
[SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE RECORDER.]
Cincinnati, Ohio, June 22.—The
National Democratic Convention met
ta 12:40 p.;m., with Judge Hoardley, of
Cincinnati, as temporary chairman.
Judge Hoadley is a prominent law¬
yer aud a leading citizen of Cincin¬
nati, and when he ascended the plat'
form as temporary applause, chairman, he was
greeted with When the
noise had subsided he addressed the
Convention, and among other things
said :
That he would not regard either
friend or foe in his rulings as the pre¬
siding officer of the Convention. He
said the principles did of Democracy were
eternal and not depend upon the
nomination of any candidate before the
Convention.
The reference of Judge Hoadley to
the name of Mr. Tilden was greeted
with tumultous applause. The dele¬
gates sprang to their feet, cheered Mr.
Tilden and waved their hats and
handkerchiefs.
The roll of the States is being 'called
for the appointment of the neceesary
committees.
When New York wa3 reached, Mr.
Kelly arose and was received with
cheers aod hisses. The chair declared
Mr. Kelly out of order and great con
fusion followed.
The object of Mr. Kelly in rising
was to protest against the appointment
of certain New York delegates on the
committees
The Convention discussed the motion
to provide extra seats for the members
of the press.
Mr. Henry Watterson, of Louisville,
Kentucky, moved the recognition of
delegates from the Territories.
The Convention adjourned at 2 p.
m. until 10 a. m. to-morrow.
A New Hampshire lad broke a car
window on the Concord Railroad the
other day, and put bis back against
the broken pane in order to conceal it
when the conductor passed through
the car. The next moment he turned
with a smile of satisfaction to a man in
the seat behind him, saying, “Don't
tell on me!" “Ah! but I am the
superintendent of the road," answered
his chance acquaintance.
