Democratic Nominees.
FOR CONORESS 7TH DISTRICT,
GEN. P. M. B. YOUNG,
OF BARTOW.
FOR STATE SENATOR,
Hon. L. N. TRAMMELL,
OF WHITFIELD.
FOR REPRESENTATIVE,
Hon. J. O. FAIN,
OF CALHOUN.
t&r The sad affliction of the editor’s
family, in the death of a loved one, will
account for the lack of original matter
in this number of our paper.
tGF* The Democratic State Executive
Committee, met in Macon on the 27th,
and elected Clifford Anderson, Chair
man.
The Democratic Convention at For
syth, on the 21st, nominated Col. Wil
burne J. Lawton, for Congress for the
Fourth District.
The Rome Commercial learns that
the Van Wert Railroad Company have
purchased the foundry and machine shop
at Cartersville, with a view to locating
its railroad shops at that place.
The First District. —The Demo
cratic Convention of the First District
met at Blackshear on the 21st, and nom
inated Mr. W. W. Payne, of Savannah,
for the 41st, and Mr. A. T. Mclntyre,
of Thomasville, for the 42d Congress.
llon. J. C. Fain. —We place at our
masthead to-day the name of Hon. J. C.
Fain, as the chosen standard bearer of
the Democracy of Gordon county. We
deem it altogether unnecessary to urge
upon our people the importance of uni
ting in their efforts to elect him by a
majority sufficient to give old Gordon
the name of the banner Democratic
county in the next election.
Tennesse e. —General Jfchn C.
Brown, of Giles county, was nominated
unanimously for Governor of Tennessee
by the Democrats of that State in con
vention assembled at Nashville, on the
13th inst. He is a younger brother of
ex-Gov. Neil S. Brown, of that State.
It would be difficult to find two brothers
who have greater cause to be proud of
such a fact.
Yellow Fever in Mobile. —From
gentlemen who arrived from Mobile yes
terday, says the Atlanta Era , we learn
that this dreaded disease has made its
appearance in that city. Fifteen cases
and four deaths were reported on Tues
day. So far the disease is confined to
Spanish Alley and similar localities, but
fears are entertained that it will become
an epidemic.
-
The Akerman Bill.
Asa part of the history of these dis
jointed times, we give the substance of
Akerman’s no-election bill in another
column, as it passed the Senate last week.
Since the bill has been thorougholy ven
tilated, and all its glaring frauds made
plain to the people, even some dyed-in
the-wool Republicans fail to be able to
stomach the measure, and one prominent
man of that party has written a commu
nication for an Atlanta paper condemn
ing the bill in strong terms.
So far as we can learn, but very few
of the most sanguine Radicals have any
hopes of carrying this measure through
the House of Representatives.
Our Atlanta Directory.
We begin our “Directory” for the
city of Atlanta in which we are only
able to offer a few cards as yet, but are
confident that when the merchants of
that fast city can be convinced of the
advantages to be gained by advertising
in The Times, they will fill several
columns of our paper.
We present firs* to our readers the
Auction House of Barrett & Mayson,
which we can recommend as a reliable
house. Both members of this firm are
old and experienced business men.—
Next we present Messrs Menko Bro. &
Cos. This is a good and reliable firm;
and one that will do you justice—they
also sell goods low. We will now turn
our attention to the Ladies for a few
minutes, and introduce to their attention
the Hair Dressing establishments of
Miss S. A. Strock, and madame Wilda.
These are both industrious hard work
ing Ladies, and seem determined to
work their way up the Ladder of for
tune. Miss Strock'will also do all kinds
of Millinery and Dress Making. After
these comes our young friend Otis Jones,
who is just starting in life, and we can
only hope that he may be able to get
along without the law, but if any of our
patrons in this region are disposed to
litigation, we advise them to send their
cases to him.
But we cannot close our notice of
the Atlanta business Directory without
mentioning the fact that F. M. Jack
has more Gooddics than any or perhaps
every one else in the city, and if you
dont believe what we say, call and see
him when you go to Atlanta.
The State Road.
The Augusta Chronicle proposes that
the State Road be placed under the
management of three Commissioners —
one to be the President of the Georgia
Railroad, one the President of the Cen
tral Railroad, and the other to be ap
pointed by the Governor, with the ad
vice and consent of the Senate. The
Board is to continue in office five years,
to test the workings of the system.
Without haring had the time to give
much thought to the plan, a cursory
reflection upon it rather prepossesses us
in its favor. We are disposed to think
there is some gum in it.
One thing is undoubtedly apparent,
that some disposition must be made of
the road. The management has con
fessed to incompetency. With a heavy
income, and in good order, as it daims,
it yet has to call upon the State to help
it. While other roads, less favored,
have become independent and successful,
this great and prosperous enterprise
whines pitifully for aid to do its business.
The remedy is not to give more money
to an inefficient management to throw
away to no purpose on the road, but to
take it clear nut of pnliiios and put it
in the hands of practical, intelligent,
experienced and able professional rail
road men.
We had thought, some days ago, of
suggesting the plan of leasing the State
Road to the Georgia, Macon and Wes
tern, Central, Atlanta and West Point,
and Macon and Brunswick Railroad
companies, said companies to keep it in
good order, and give bond for paying
all above the expenses into the treasury,
and returning the road in good condition
to the State, the said companies to select
a superintendent, etc. This plan has
its advocates, and presents many points
of advantage. But we are rather dis
posed to think the Chronicle’s project
the best.
The Legislature.
In the Senate, Friday, several rail
road bills were passed, and others read
the first time. The Relief bill was ta
bled. The substitute was discussed by
sections, amended and passed. A mes
sage from the Governor, returning the
Savannah bill without his approval, was
tabled. An attempt was made to hold
an afternoon session, but, as there was
no quorum present, the body was com
pelled to adjourn.
In the House, a motion to reconsider
the Tax bill was lost. The Senate
amendments to the School bill were con
curred in, with the exception of the one
striking out the 22d section. A resolu
tion, inviting the President of the Uni
ted States and his Cabinet to visit the
Fair, was not taken up. A number of
bills were read the third time and pass
ed.
BSaT* The Louisville Courier-Journal
says it has received a communication
from a politician who stood high in the
favor of the South in years gone by, in
which a somewhat novel view of the sit
uation is given out. “My opinion is
very decided,” he says, “that the South
should hold itself aloof from both parties
in the North. As long as the Northern
Democrats have to carry the Southern
Democrats they will be damaged by the
cry of ‘rebel.’ In the old time the South
ern Whigs were kept down by the cry
of ‘abolition,’ because of their associa
tion with the free-soil element at the
North. The South should not commit
the blunder of destroying her influence
by becoming a direct party to any nom
ination for President. She should keep
out of nominating conventions, nominate
electors only, and leave the election of a
President open until she sees how the
result is at the North, and then make
the best bargain she can. The fight is
to be fought on Northern ground.—
Therefore let parties at the North fight
it out, leaving us to make our own terms
with the winner.”
All Hopes of Peace Abandoned.
—The latest by the cable states that all
hopes of peace between Prussia and
France have been abandoned. Favre
has expressed his willingness to acceed
to a plan, to satisfy Prussia, for electing
a representative assembly, and thus ob
tain the voice of the duly accredited
government in making terms of peace ;
but the King of Prussia’s counsellors
positively refuse an armistice, and will
make peace only on condition of retain
ing possession of the districts now occu
pied until the terms are ratified by the
constituent assembly. Although the
question of terms is not yet reached, M.
Favre informs his associates in the Gov
ernment that the cession of Alsace will
certainly be the ultimatum of Prussia,
and he has little hope of success in his
mission.
Mr. Alexander Delma, the sta
tistician, formerly comptroller of one of
the financial bureaus at Washington, de
nies that the federal debt is being re
duced as alledged by Secretary Bout
well, and offers to pay $5,000 to any
charitable institution the “Tribune” may
name “if it can show that, in point of
fact, no deficit occurred, and the public
debt did not increase” during the past
fiscal year.

pal election was carried by 2,000 major

was not entertained.
Affairs in South Carolina.—
The Chronicle & Sentinel , of Friday,
says:
There was in the city, yesterday, a
planter from Laurens county. S. C. —the
scene of the present troubles between
the whites and negroes. He stated that
before he left home the conduct of the
negroes had been such as to lead the
white inhabitants to expect nothing less
than a war of races. The whites had
sought no difficulty and desired none,
but they were determined to defend
themselves when attacked. While in
the city he purchased five bags of buck
shot for himself and his neighbors.
He said that when he returned home
these hauKshot would be made into
cartridges ready for use in shot-guns.—
He had seen armed negroes marching
past his house after night, and this, ad
ded to their threatening indications, left
him no reason to doubt that trouble was
coming, and he and his neighbors wish
ed to be prepared for the worst. The
insurrection in Laurens, which occurred
after he left home: show that he was
right in his conjectures.'
North Carolina Affairs. —Late
advices from army officers and other
disinterested residents of North Carolina
indicate that there is pretty general
acquiescence in the recent Democratic
victories, and that the whole political
power of the State will be peaceably
transferred to Conservative hands.—
There is much exultation among the
Conservatives, and it is believed a serious
attempt will be made to impeach Gov.
Holden for paying his militia in defiance
of the orders of the courts. As the
Democrats, although with ample strength
in the Lower House,' have only a bare
party majority in the Senate, this would
seem to be a ridiculous undertaking.—
But gentlemen who have arrived from
the State say that they expect to gain
over in the Senate enough nominal Re
publicans who are personally opposed to
Holden to convict him.

They tell of foundryman in New Or
leans who is so pious that he will only
make upright boilers.
The Election Bill.
Tho Election Bill, as it passed the
Senate, and has been transmitted to the
House provides:
That the time for holding an election
this yearshall be changed from the Tues
day following the first Monday in No
vember to the 20th day of December,
and further that the election be protract
ed for three days.
The election shall be held at county
seats and in incorporate towns and cities
where precincts have been established;
thus abolishing other precincts.
The Governor is to appoint five men
as Managers at each precinct.
The Managers so appointed are requir
ed to attend under a penalty of one hun
dred dollars.
They shall not permit any person to
challenge any vote, or hinder, or delay,
or interfere w ith any other person in the
free and speedy casting of his ballot.
They are to prevent disturbances near
the polls, and allow only one person at a
time to approach within fifteen feet of
the polls, and may, if they see fit, require
the persons desiring to vote to form
themselves into a line, and when a line
is thus formed said managers shall pre
vent any persons not in the line from ap
proaching the polling place nearer than
fifty feet, but in no case shall more than
one vote at any time be permitted to ap
pioaeli tlic polls ucoici tiian fifteen feet.
The said manrgers, or any two of them,
shall have power, by patrol, to order the
arrest and confinement during the day
of any person distuabing the peace at or
.near the polls, or disobeying any reason
able order for the enforcement of these
provisions for the preservation of order
and the protection of voters; and the
sheriff and his deputy shall also have pow
er, without warrant to arrest, or order the
arrest of any person for the causes
aforesaid.
Each night during the election the
ballot-box is to be sealed and left in the
hands of one manager, while another is
to take the key. The bill, however,
does not explain who is to take charge
of the managers.
These are a few of the many objec
tionable points in the bill, and are suf
ficient to defeat the "whole scheme, and
we believe it will if it approximates any
thing like a fair consideration in the
House.— Sun.
—
An enterprising Yankee wants to
take the contract from the Prussian
government for reducing Paris. For
this service he asks a hundred thous
and Prussian soldiers, whom he will arm
and subsist while in his employ. For
forty-five francs per soldier he promises
to pillage the city; for fifty to pillage
and rapine; for forty six to pillage,
rapine, and burn. He is to do every
bit of it by machinery, for which he has
patents.
o
Life Insurance. —Two hundred
and fifty millions of dollars are invested
in life insurance by our people at the
present moment, and this vast sum*is
being augmented at the rate of fifty or
sixty millions of dollars a year. The
six hundred thousand policies in force
in the United States represent the future
pecuniary support of half a million
American families. How important,
then is it that each State should have
its own life insurance companies, that
their management be kept in the hands
of well known and reliable men, and
that their government be regulated by
wholesome legislation.
Florida to be Redeemed. —A sub
scriber writes us cheeringly from Mon
ticello, under date 21st instant. He
says:
“I am certain Florida will redeem
herself this fall, and elect h Lieutenant-
Governor and Congressmen, of the pure
metal, and also give us a Democratic
majority in the Senate. It would be a
lasting blessing to impeach Reed, try
him before a Jury of honest men, and
send him where he ought to be, in the
Penitentiary for life, ironed by nights
and worked hard from sun to sun.”
Dispatches from Berlin state that the
Constitution for the German Union is
being prepared.

ENGLISH Female BITTEKS.
The only acknowledged Uterine Tonic and Ft male
Regulator known, w ill cure all those complaints
above mentioned iu an inciedibly short time. The
Ritters at ouce arouses, strengthens and restores
the womb to its natural condition, removing ob
structions, relieving pain and regulation the
monthly period. Yonder stands a pule, ?efbie
and languid girl, just bursting into womanhood;
she is the pride of all, but bark! she silently stea s
a pickle, eats chalk, ora slate i**neii; no appetite
for food; she turns with a dull eye and sees* ?
itude; her eye no longer sparkles; her merry
laugh is do longer heard ringing through the air;
she mopes about with bio .dices lips and gum*,
with headache, palpitation, constipation swim
ming ot tire he'd, cold feet and hands, mdaucholt;
she bus a coated tongue, offensive breath, aid a
host of other evils too numerous to mention.
When neglected all these symptoms become
aggravated, there is sick stomach, heartburn, a
daik line settles under the eyes, the legs amt
ankles a’e swollen, the hair loses its gloss and
falls off, there is brittleness and splitting ol the
finger-nails, swollen abdomen, extreme nervous
ness, Iretfulness, (mins and aches, dry cough.

afflicted, Feud at. ouce for a buttle of English Fe
male Billets and be cured. It. effects ure mag cal

a want of ted blood oi l Mr. <*hn-. toll, in
his work on Diseasesnf Female*, savs : “Bearing
in mind that the blood is remuikuhly deficient hi
red corpuscles, and the known property of iron
tocoriect this condition, theory suggests it a*
the most to be rel.ed on, the best of w uich is tbs
Citrate.” Citrate of Iron enters largely int» the
composition of English Female Bitters, combined
with powerful vegetable tonics ot rate qualities.
Among the mountains of Teomssee and the
piney woods of Mis i sippi, is found acer tain hard
and flinty root, which has been in secret u*e hr
tome old midwtves lor many years, paiseaaing
magic power* in ngilating and lestonngall fe
males suffering with any ufi’ecliou of the wotnh.
This root we have obtained, gave it a lair test in
our practice and it is now one of the pnne pie in
gredients in these Bitters Other powerful uterine
and general tonics also enter into its cou.poeit on.
We also add Leptandra or Black root, sufficient
to act upon the liver and keep the bow e!s open.
