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 the Gouventiou which apparently in&ted him. He was nominated the people, not by politicians. there ever such a lie.) His tion is a new attestation of the cal value of moral qualities. (Ye The Republican party has passed the eminent soldier, the eminent cier and the eminent party to take up a man who is chiefly nent for the Christian purity and tegrity of his life and cliaiacter. are without reproach and above cion, (where are Ames, Hayes Sherman. Do they lie ?) though, course, not above slander, tor moruing after the nomination the sition begau its campaign of If Moses were nominated for the idency there are papers which bring up the charge that he an Egyptian Egyptuu and ruu ott’ with women’s jewelry. To the above, the Florida replies as follows, and Beecher’s character to a nicety : If Pharaoh were nominated for Beecher's Presidency by the Republicans, paper would no doubt P?f fc h ,‘?' an 'J de ^ Itire the grandest of his . life be the of the to pursuit ber Moses theiug with the jeweby to the wilderness of Arabia And II A Democratic paper ventured to allude to the well known tyranny compelling the Israelites to make without straw, Mr. Beecher's would, doubtless, declare such an sion to be a Democratic slander. Aud he would further declare, ohildreo of Israel were ooly fit slaves, and that they hai qo rights Egyptain* were bound to respeot. 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 tfiaa half goto the pods and vne. 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.
