what they sell, for the encouragement of

Gov. SEYMOUR is for Judge Church
for President In his speech before the
Syracuse Convention he said:
Standing in the front rank of our lead
ing men, not only for our State but OF
the nation, is Judge Church, whose name
has been prominent in our discussions
There is no one who does not desire,
both from motives of State pride and
personal regard, to lift him up to the
highest position of honor. This feeling
was shown in our National Convention
of 1868, when the delegation from New
York, which was made up of our leading
men, with unanimity presented him as
their choice for the Presidential nomina-
ton, and we all shall be happy in the.
future TO bring it forward for the same
purpose, and we trust under better

Majsr A. S. Prosser. Chairman Of Republican
State Executive Committee:
SIR have received your letter in
forming me that there will be held in
this city tomorrow a mass meeting Of
Republicans to give expression to their
opinions relative to the recent insurrec-
ton in Louisiana and the platform
adopted by the Republican State Con-
ventioa at Chattanooga, and asking me
to write letter expressive Of my opin-
ions on the subjects named. | comply
with your request most cheerfully. with
the understanding that this meeting is in
no wise connected with the convention
which is to meet here to morrow to nom
mate a candidate for Congress
/ fully indorse the course of the Presi-
dent in suppressing the rebellion in
Louisiana. Whatever may be Kellogg 6
merits or dement's, whether he be an
honest man or rascal, he was the de
facto Governor of the State; he had
been recognized as such repeatedly by
the United States Government, and the
successful effort to overthrow him by the
force OF arms was clearly illegal and
unconstitutional.
No party can sustain itself before the
American people which indorse the law
lessness Of the Louisiana rebellion.
Not only has the President the right
to interfere to suppress such an insur-
rection as that which occurred in Louis
lana, but the law makes it bis duty 10
interfere for the protection of al citizens
Of all colors in their person and politi-
cal rights, wherever the local and NUM-
cipal authorities are unable or unwilling
to give that protection.
THIS brings me TO the Chattanooga
Convention and its platform.
/ have carefully read that platform,
and it is liable TO but one construction,
that is opposition to the civil rights bill.
From reading the Democratic papers OF
Middle and West Tennessee l see that
they take this view of this platform. OF
course, / shall cordially support every
candidate Of the Republican party foi
every Office, from the highest to the low
est, who plants himself squarely upor
this platform Of hostility to the nefarioul
so-called civil rights bill.

he says there would have been large in

summer but for our law prohibiting an
alien from acquiring title in fee to land

that but for this impediment, English

The Jessup Georgian has this: We
learn that Mr.. Hiram Bennett of this
county, had dangerous adventure last
week, and one calculated to make ones
hair stand on end. He was conveying
Messrs. Haslam & McDonough's teams
from lot, Atlantic and Gulf, to st, Ma
con and Brunswick railroad, and while
on the route noticed the front team shy
ing to one side, and soon discovered a
large snake lying in the road He was
driving one of the teams, and as he
came up to the reptile discovered that it
was full of fight, aud concluded that he
would kill it. He jumped down, picked
up a small limb aud struck at the snake,
but the stick proved to be rotten. The
snake began to coil 10 order to attack
him, and Mr.. Bennett found that he
was defenseless, and hemmed in
between the wagon and large
log upon the roadside. 1t was a
perilous situation and one requir
log great presence Of mind. He has but
one leg, and used wooden leg as Sub
stitute. This appendage he put between
the snake and himself, threw his other
leg some distance behind it, and awaited
the fatal sprirg. In very few seconds
he heard the sound of the rattles, and
saw the snake rush toward him. His
wooden leg was struck. and the snake
went its full length beyond it. In an
instant BENEFITS hand followed in the
direction of its head and before it could
receiver from the spring, had it tightly
grasped around the neck and in his
power. BE put his other hand in his
pocket, took out his knife, opened it
through the assistance OF the arm which
held the snake, and soon cut off its head.
