RUFFIANLY BEHAVIOR OF RowDIHs ON
RAILROAD TRAIN.-Last evening, as a colored
picnic party was returning from Hunting dOn,
on the train of the b. and p. X. r., arriving
here at 915 O'Clock "a number of roughs behaved
in a very disorderly manner, and from fists re-
sorted to sticks, and one OF the party used pis-
toll. The pic-nickers appeared to be well be-
baved, but unfortunately on the grounds a few
of the roughs had several rows, and on the way
in they again got to lighting, and went so far as
to threaten to "snatch" the conductor and
brakesmen "baldheaded." The employees be-
haved quite coolly and did their best to keep
down the turbulent spirits. One of the party
said to be a somewhat notorious character named
Bill Jones, drew revolver, and before il could
be wrenched from him fired three Shots one of
them taking effect in the breast of a man re-
siding in South Washington. As the train
stopped at Behring'S, Jones stepped Off and
made good his escape. On the arrival of the
train there was some disorder among the roughs
and Officer Densmore arrested one of the party
Cornelius Kirby, who being found with a billy
was fined in the Police Court this morning.

THE GoVERNoRSHIP.

Ed. JOURNAL: see that the
Newman, Gainesville, Dahlonega,
and other papers, are outspoken
and decided in their preferences for
Governor. These journals, like our
own, are styled "Provincial" and
properly so =; for they are Of the
county, and speak the sediments of
the people These jo.rnals are too
far removed from the centres Of
trade and commerce, to enter into
"Rings" or control sentiment by the
argument of money. The county at
large, by this mean the working
population. the men who till the
soil. are honest in their convictions
steady in purpose, and ever ready
to award merit, where merit is due,
and from these influences, the pro-
vincial press draw their inspiration,
and when untrammeled give ut
teranc9s of truth aud soberncss.
The above, passed rapidly through
nv mind. when reading the papers
above alluded to. Why, / asked,
do these journals express themselves
so warmly and Enthusiastically in ia
vor Of the nomination Of john H.
James Who is he, and from
whence does he come What are
his qualifications, and what his Tx
ecutive ability? Now, Mr.. Editor,
| happen 10 know John Ii. James;
have known him well and long. He
is Of the people, no patrician, or
purse-prood aristocrat Trained by
an honest father and pious mother,
he early acquired the habit of think
ing twice. before speaking once ; of
never Judging hastily or talking SEN
soriusly. In other words, he eschcw-
ed the idea of the "Sir Oracle" and
thoroughly understood his subject
before giving an opinion. Hence,
his remarkable success as a mer-
chant and banker. These qualities
are known and appreciated, by the
people, and his financial ability, is
seized upon by the tax payers, in
this their hour of doubt, trouble and
uncertainty, with assurance Of re-
lief, speedy and lasting. His Exec
utive ability no one doubts who sees
with what care and dispatch he gets
off the complicated business of a
large city go 5ernment. Then | say,
let the people push forward. Tell
politicians and ring masters to stand
back, "now its our go They have
cursed the country, State and Ma
tional, long enough-if we are saved
at all, it must be by the clear-head
ed, business men of the country
Gov. Smith has our confidence; he
is honest, but recent developments
show us too plainly his want of
judgement, in the appropriation and
application of thousands of the peo-
pies money. He has been weighed
in the balances and found wanting.

Hon Bayless w. Hanna on the situa.
uation.

[From the Vincenne Suns Report
| of the Hon. Bayless w. Hanna's
Speech at Vincennes.
PLAIN WORDS AS TO THE DUTY OF
THE HOUR.
Well, now, gentlemen, you may
ask, from what | have said before,
what action do you propose for the
present necessi y What do you
propose to do? Do you propose to-
surrender ALTO desert the faith
to close the old church-or what is
your proposition? These are peril
nent questions they have been put
to me before by many inquirers, and
propose to give plain answer to
hem: | believe, so long as the
people themselves remain honest,
there can be no danger Of their lib
critics in this Government. | believe
that the great masses of the people
are honest. They can have neither
an object nor a temptation to be
otherwise. And now that our pub
lie servants. from the President
down, through all the long and dou-
bic lines Of his avaricious minions,
have become corrupt; and as the
people themselves, without regard to
past party alliances, have Inaugural
ted the movement to hurl them from
power, in Gods name let us give
them a helping hand to put them ou!.
That is my proposition--to join with
any body who will help me to put
them out Some one may ask now
/ do you propose to do III DO you
mean war; DO you propose to
marshal armies 2 say no! a thou
sand times no We have had war
enough to last us through long cen
turies to come. But do propose
that if we have a prejudice we will
surrender tiff we have had a long
cherished opinion, that we will sus-
pend tiff we have sought power
or place or office, that We will post
pone the aims of our ambition
! il we have longed to nail our party
flag to the masthead, that it might
wave gloriously above all others,
that we sill lend the proves it rep
rescnis, for time, to better purpose
than the mere qualification Of per-
sonal pride. That we will make
every sacrifce-forego every pleas
urc-withhold nothing ne have
that we will feast no longer, bat fast
until we grow faint and weak-that
we will do anything and all things
which our cousciences will justify,
to hold up the hands Of any one
who can deliver us from the thraI-
dom of the wicked misrule and in
fernal political dcbauchery which is
now crushing the very LIFE out Of
the people.
