Sectional bitterness.

New Orleans Timos.l
The soldier element of the north
and south seem to fraternize readily.
Ever since the war closed, southern
military companies have been in the
habit of visiting northern cities, and
northern military companies have, on.
various occasions, been entertained at
the south. There is no record, as far
as we know, of any exhibition of i'll
feeling on the part Of the citizen SOL
diers of either section during their
interchanges of civility. There has
always been manifested the kindest
feeling, and if there was any bitterness
it certainly was not apparent, In the
course Of a few weeks it is expected
that companies from the military or.
CARNATIONS of almost every state in the
union will assemble at Atlanta, Ga.
1t is proposed to make this gathering
a notable military display. 1t prom
ises now to excel anything ofthe kind
since the war. The occasion of the
meeting of this military conclave is
the laying OF the cornerstone OF q
new armory of the Gate City Guards.
Tents for the visiting companies will
be provided by the government, and
they will be furnished with all that is
necessary for comfort and convenience
by the citizens Of Atlanta. While
the troops are in the city there
will be a variety Of amuse-
ments designed especially for
the entertainment of the visitors.
A large number Of companies from
Northern and Western cities have
signi6ed their intention to be present
and take part in the display. OF
course the cities Of the sluth will be
well represented. We feel sure that
there will be no sectional feeling at
this meeting Of the militia of the diff
ferent states. The war and its issues,
if talked of at all, will be discussed
in a spipit Of forbearance and kind
ness, and without any feeling Of bit.

WEAKLEY COUNT
Resolutions Adopted at a Con.
ventiOn of E,OW-Tsx DEM
Ocrais,

DRESDEN, Tenn, September 49,
The democrats of Weakley, who sup
port Wilson for governor, met at the
courthouse here to-day in delegate
convention, and adopted the following
resolutions, after organizing by the
election Of james Crabtree chairman
aud H.. G, Cowardin secretary.
l. We approve of the national plat
form adopted at Cincinnati, and
heartily endorse the nomination OIL
Hancock and English.
2. We endorse the nomination of
Hon s. !. Wilson for governor, and
pledge him our cordial and enthusi-
astic support.
3. We are opposed to the repudia
ton Of the just Indebtedness Of the
state.
4. We are opposed to the repudia-
ton Of the rights and sovereignty of
the people.
B. We recognize the time-honorod
axiom Of the democratic party, that
our government is Of the people and
for the people, and that they are soye-
reign and supreme; end hat the legis
lature are their servants; and, there
fore WI are unalterably opposed to any
settlement Of the state debt by the
legislature until tho same has been
first submitted to the people at a sep
arate election, and ratified by their
free voices at the ballot box.
g. We are unalterably opposed to
surrendering the sovereignty Of the
statej to taking from the people tho
right to say what the rate Of taxation
shall be; to placing the state in the
hands Of the federal courts, to be run
for the use and benefit Of the bond
holders by receivers appointed by said
courts. Therefore, we will never con.
sent to take coupons Tor taxes, or give
our assent to any settlement Of the
debt that gives it any sort Of prefer
ence over the current expenses or
other liabilities of the state,
z. That we are in favor Of such leg
islation as will compel railroads to
deal justly with thepeople of the state,
and prevent unjust discrimination be-
tween through and local freight.
8. We hereby tender our thanks to
those of our delega es who represented
us in the convention at Nashville, and
carried out their instructions in letter
and spirit and say to them, A" VOL
done, good and faithful servants"
9. Believing it is important to have
representatives in congress that re
aeet our views upon the issues Of the
day, we hereby call upon W. p. Cald-
well to announce himself as a candi
date for congress, and in the event of
his doing so we commend him heartily
to our party in the dis riot.
10. Weakly county being entitled
to the candidate for t%loater, we recon-
mend our county man, P. B. Stubble-
field, to our party for that position
throughout the AOterial district.

PASSED IN HIS CHECKS.
sudden Death of George w. Miller
From the Gaming Table TO
the Grave.
Kansas City Times, "a.

George w. Miller,a well known sporting
man about the city, died suddenly on Sunday
afternoon of hemorrhage of the bowels.
Miller was known as gambler and as such
was ostracised from society. He made no pre-
tension of being better than any other man,
still he had large heart, and no poor man
in real want ever went from him empty
handed. His avecaton, which he chose of
his own free will, was not one looked upon
by the world with respect, and should not
be. Yet this man had the noblest impulses,
and when nearing his end on Sunday said to
n companion who remained with him, 81
must lass in my checks this time, and l die
as have livedh He made no complaint
at the suddenness of his call, but
calmly asked for his attorney, made and
signed will, said goodbye to those who
did for him all men could Go, quietly closing
his ewes, and with a request that the coverlet
be pulled over his shoulder, passed away.
No one living ever knew the deceased to do
mean or contemplate act. He was above
such, even though his business was what it
was. A very few years ago he was arrested
for being implicated with Stevens and Ham,
in the celebrated Texas land forgeries He
was honorably discharged however, as it was
clearly proved that another mau with his
name was the criminal in the case, although
he, by being in bad company suffered to the
amount of $4,000. Miller came to Kansas
City about twelve years ago and excepting
short interval has resided here since. Be-
tween eleven and twelve O'Clock Saturday
night he was dealing faro at his rooms on
Main street, and was taken with the hemor-
rhage at about two o'clock in the morning.
His brother was telegraphed to at Column
bus, Ohio, and will be here to-day to take
charge of the remains.
