THE GUBERNAToRIAL CoNvEN.
TON

The gubernatorial convention con
yened in Atlanta on Wednesday the
4th inst, with Hon. Newt Trammell
as permanent chairman-about 700
delegates in attendance representing
$50 votes. The two>thirds rule was
adopted, on motion of Gen. Yourg,
as agreed by the supporters of Coli
quit in caucus the previous night.
On the first ballot, Colquitt received
2OSS; Lester $50 Hardeman "a /;
Gartrell l74; Warner H.. Coll
quits average strength 2l0 votes.
A deadlock ensued and from day to
day each opposing faction held its
grip with unyieldiog bulldog tenac
ity. Between the ballotings speech
es we're made, excitement ran high,
some good and much bad feeling ex
hibited. Saturday evening found
the deadlock unbroken and as far
from nomination as when they first
commenced the contest. An adj
iournment was had over until Mons
day morning, but when they re-as-
sembled, the same stubbornness was
exhibited without the least modifica.
ton of tone or alteration of vote.
Tuesday morning found the dele
gates adhering unalterably to their
respective views The minority said
we will take any man that you will
name, except Colquitt. The major
ity said we will have none other but
Colquitt. Mr.. Walsh of Richmond
introduced resolution pledging un-
divided support to Hancock and En-
gIish, and as it appears no nominaN
ton of a candidate for governor can
be made under the two thirds rule ;
therefore, be it resolved, that this
convention recommend to the people
of Georgia, A II. Colquitt as the
democratic candidate for the office
of governor at the ensuing election,
provided after three more ballots no
nomination is made. The resou>
tons we're adopted amid much ex-
element Thu third ballot was
reached and resulted as follows :
Colquitt 220 1890; Lester So SO ;
Hardeman as 7 30; Gartrell l53 ;
Warner 81. The convention then
proceeded to elect Presidential cleo

THE Dalton Headlight Indepen
dent is a very funny paper the most
accommodating paper in its politics
we ever heard of. 1t has been on all
sides of the political fence, as we'll as
on top of it and under it. 1t was first
for the Independents, then for the
Greenbackers, then for Hancock anr
English, and now it is for Weaved
and Chambers. Here is variety for
you, if there is great lack of con-
sistency. Now let it come out for
Garfield and Arthur, and next for
Dow the Prohibitionist, and then all
the boys will have had an organ in
this section. We would suggest an
editor for every phrase of politics
the paper may assume in the future
to keep from getting things mixed
editorially.-DalfOn Citizen.

FEED ALL EUROPE.

IT is claimed, aud the experience
Of the last two years bears it out,
that the United States can supply
Europe with breadstutf5 and provis-
ions cheeper than they can be pro
duced there. The vastly superior
facilities possessed in this country
by the agriculturest, consisting of
fertile soil, favorable climate, labor
saving machinery and cheap trans
portatiou, over the tiller of the soil
in Europe, places the latter at dis
vantage, even in his home markets.
Besides this, the farmer here gener-
ally owns the ground he cultivates.
He has no rent TO pay, and all the
money be expends for improve ments
or to enrich his soil that the product
may increase, is for his own benefit.
The land system of Europe was de-
vised to foster and enrich the aristo =.
cratic classes and its products cannot
compete with ours, even with the
cost of transportation added, in Eu>
ropesn markets.

ONE of the fashions of the day is
for visitors to seaside resorts to carr
~ pet dogs with them. The custom
is so popular that the leading hotels
have been compelled to give notice
that guests accompanied by dogs will
be charged $40 per week for board
of the CANNES. This is not an un-
reasonable charge if the order for a
dogs breakfast sent by visitor at
a Cape May hotel to the dining room
is a sample of the guests demands.

RLAcK-GARFIELD.

There is no man living north OF
the Mason-Dixon line for whom we
entertain higher admiration and res
pect than for Judge J S. Black. =
The elements of a rare and noble
manhood are mixed 10 him in har-
monious combination and muni6cent
profusion. His heart is as pure and
generous as his brain is big and brill
liant. His vices are virtues in ex
cess; "his failings lean to virtues
side" Candor compels the confess
ion, however, that he has permitted
the kindly instincts of his heart to
triumph over the better convictions
of his Indignant, when he pronounces
pure the personal character of Gar
field, and excuses his conduct 10 the
DeGolyer business, and the Credit
Mobilier vilainy. No honest man
could be complicated with such un-
mitigated outrages. If, as Judge
Black halfway intimates, Garfield
was innocently entrapped into hav>
ing had a hand in the dirty work,
he ought to have "confessed and
avoided" as the lawyers say-he
ought not to have denied-thereby
adding to the crime of stealing the
crime of perjury. The proof is con-
elusive. 1t comes from his own
party, and is of record, that while
chairman of the congressional com
mittee on appropriations, be did take
the sum of five thousand dollars from
DeGoIyer's crowd, who got the con-
tract for paving at Washington, at
more than twice the actual worth of
the Job; aud that he was stock
holder in the Credit Mobiier swindle,
received his dividend and never paid
in one cent. for his stock Madame
Rowland, when led to the guillotine
said: "Oh! Liberty what crimes
are done in thy name !" Well may
the American people exclaim in the
light of the facts: ooh! Honesty +!
what stealage is done in thy name ~
Judge Black says, in effect, that
Garfield is personally honest, but
politically corrupt; that his will is
praiseworthy, but his works are per-
nicious; that he is the best man of
his party, bat the worst statesman in
the country; that he has individual
qualifications for the best of Presi>
dents, but partisan prejudice would
pervert them and would make the
worst of Presidents.
Now plain people, like ourselves,
can't comprehend such sort Of logic.
1t contradicts our observation of men
and of facts. 1t is contrary to the
lessons of experience. Judge Black
is surely not in earnest. True, be ia
damning Garfield by faint praise
but is he doing justice to himself the
while Let us commend to him q
re reading of book, whose teach
ings he reverences as highly as we
do, and especially that part of the
Incompatible "Sermon on the Mount"
wherein ale who spake as never
man spake," said "Do men gather
grapes of thorns, or figs of thstles
Even 50 every good tree bringeth
forth good fruit; but corrupt tree
briugeth forth evil fruit. A good
tree cannot bring forth evil fruit !;
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit. BY their fruits ye shall
kn0aC them !!

While the writer does not pretend that
there is anything particularly prophetic in
this. it is certainly singular coincidence.
Lift needed any strengthening | might
state that in 1876 was an editorial writer
Eof the Pittsburg Post. and taking the
names ofESamuel D. Titden and Ruther-
ford B, Hayes and applying the same rule
as above it resulted: Tildeu. 203; Hayes,

between the two candidates In exactly chat
proportion. The Republican conspirators,

Commission, stole votes in Louisiana. 7
in South South Carolina and 4 in Florida.

The figures appeared In the Post and
other papers in 1875. and were extensively
republished. It remains to be seen
whether verifcation Of the same singular
