six California Girls on a Tramp,

Redwood City (Col.l Journal, June 20.
There passed through Redwood
City on Monday of last week a party
Of Oakland ladies on tramp. They
numbered six and were all robust,
good looking, full of life and energy,
and bent on frolic. Dressed in uni
form style of walking habit, slightly
shorter than the prevailing fashion,
made of excellent and durable linen,
plain but pretty hats, easy shoes with
high ankles for dust, they were the
personifcation ofcomfort. Each bore
a knapsack upon her back, soldier
style, and was armed with a revolver
and large bowie-knife. Their trip is
to take in the Southern coast counties.
Some nights they camp out, and
others they pass at hotels as hpmor o y
convenience may happen. With no
baggage or equipments, except what
each carried on her person, this might
be called another charge of the Light
Brigade. They LETT Oakland yester.
day morning, and after crossing the
bay on the ferry, trotted to Menlo
Park as their first feat The next day
brought them to Searsville, where the
night was passed in a friendly barn.
For some unknown reasoL they re.
turned to May6eld next day and spent
the night, and on Saturday the party
made the long trip from the latter
town to San Gregorio, crossing the
mountains in the sun and dust in as
lively a MOOD as any section on their
route.

County WOrkhouse.

Attorney General Turner and
County Attorney Glisson, the COM
mittee to whom was referred the
matter ofa county wOrkhouse, reported
this morning in favor of making the
Sheriff superintendent of the county
and city convicts, with power to work
them either within or without the
Jail, upon such terms as may be agreed
upon by the county and some humane
person. Also that the Sheriff may
appoint an agent, whose duty it shall
be to see that all convicts are humanely
treated; that no convict shall work
more than ten hours day; that they
be provided with proper food, and their
sleeping quarters kept in a perfect
sanitary condition; that there be
separate apartments for the sexes;
that the county or Jail physician be
allowed sufficient compensation to
enable him to visit all the couvicts
every other day; that plates, knives
and forks and cups be Furnished that
graves of convicts who die shall b,
marked. and a register of deaths kept;
that oonviets be allowed proper bed
ding, to make them comfortable in
winter.
A considerable discussion followed
the reading of the report, during
which the Attorney General stated
that it could plainly be seen that the
committee did not settle the question
of the island prison, but left that still
open by failing to say that the Sheriff
should not work convicts there.
Esq Galloway said few Of the mem
bers of the court had given the matter
full consideration, and he for one
would like time to reflect before vot.

laid over until next Monday.

Mr.. Joseph H. Fussell, nominated
for Governor by the Bailey faction
yesterday, is well known to the Masons
here of which fraternity he is a prom
inent member. Personally he stands
we'll at home, and as far as he is
known over the State. He is serv-
ing his second term as Attorney
General in his district. He is about
45 years old and is in the prime of
life. During the war he rose to
the rank OF Captain in the Confederate
army. He was carpenter in early
life, which il to his credit, and if left
to himself he could no doubt con-
struct much better platform than
the one made for him. He stands a
chance to poll all the way from three
to eight or ten thousand votes, but
none in the world to be Goverabr OF
to elect Hawkins. The people have
taken this matter in hand, just as they
did the June convention, and will
elect General Bate by a large and
flattering majority.

General Bate at Jackson.

Extract from the Tribune and Suns report.
General Bate said the issue was
whether the Republican or Democratic
party should control Tennessee. This
was the question for the people to
decide, and he declared that he had
never been beaten before the people.
Though a time or two defeated in the
Legislature, he had never turned
against his party, for with him his
party and its great mission was far
above self. He closed his two hours
and a half speech with an eloquent
appeal for harmony. He said that he
had no lance for Democrat, no sword
to strike him down. He urged all
Democrats to rally around the old
banner, torn and SCARED two years
ago, but now profoundly flung to the
breeze. He warned Democrats that
bolting was liable to drift men into the
Republican party. He said the pres
ent platform was the best that could
be habitat extremes had to be
reconciled-that Democrats had to
forgive and forget. That the platform
healed wounds that, if they remained
open, would be attacked with the
gangreen Of disintegration aud stuff off
into Radicalism and reputation. That
it was the policy thus laid down, or
ruin to the Democracy and peril to
the State He urged that all bitter
ness be buried-that all Democrats
lock shields for victory. He declared
that he would win the fight or leave
his sdversaries SCARED and bleeding.
He closed with an appeal for union
from the mountains to the great river,
and predicted victory that would be
borne by joyous hearts through the
State, cementing Democracy and scat
tering the loosely jointed hosts of the
enemy.
When the long and vcciferous
cheering, which followed General
Bates telling speech, had subsided,
Mr.. Robert W. Haynes stepped for
ward, and on behalf of woman, and in
words that blszed with eloquence,
presented the orator with a magDifi
cent bouquet. General Bate responded
happily, and the meeting adjourned
amid shouts, and hand shaking anC
music.
1t was glorious day for Democracy
and proclaimed that in old Madison
there was solid union aud the spirit o.
victory.

The Shelby County Ticket.

Henderson (Ky.) Reporter, IL.
We notice that the Democrats Of
Shelby county, Tenn, held their con-
vention last week and nominated
Captain P. r Athy for re election to
the Office Of Sheriff and General A. J
Vaughan for re election as Clerk o
the Criminal Court, besides other
worthy gentlemen for the other county
Offices. OF the latter we are not as
well prepared to speak, as We have no
personal acquaintance with any OF
them, but Captain Athy and General
Vaughan we know well, and know
them to be as true and honorable as
men ever get to be. They have both
been thoroughly tested in times Of
hardship and danger, and they never
Iuailed or finched even when death
stared them in the eye. We congrat-
ulate the Democrats of Memphis and
OF Shelby county on the possession Of
such material Of which to make off.
GERS, and we congratulate the two
friends mentioned on the high com
pliment they received in being upani
mously nominated. Now elect them
straight along.

THE executive committee should
give its utmost attention to the selec-
ton of candidates for the Legislature.
In that body the final contest must be
made, and to neglect that part of the
campaign will be to run the risk Of
losing all. The Governor is but fig
urehead at BEST Chattanooga Times.
The Governor has no veto power,
and may be looked upon as mere
figurehead on that account, but if he
is much of a man, if he has brain
power and genius and magnetism,
like General Bate, he is a host within
himself. Even an ordinary man like
Hawkins, whose messages and speeches
never moved anybody or changed a
vote, and whose appearance in public,
whether at home or abroad, always
creates broad smile at, the expense
of his egotism and ignorance-we say
even such a man as Hawkins, emascu-
lated mentally and by law, can do
some harm. He can, as Governor,
call extra sessions of the Legislature,
put the people to expense for worse
than nothing, give bad men Oppor-
tunities to do wrong, and bring dis.
grace upon the State. A negative,
aimless man like Hawkins, the au-
tomaton of others who are bolder and
worse, may do incalculable harm. A
bold, positive man like Bate, who has
earnest convictions and coed purposes
at heart, may give tone and credit to
the conduct Of public affairs, and dc
untold good. General Bate has never
been a fgurehead or a blind partisan
and never can be. He is a natural
born leader Of men, a self made man
who needs 20 college degree or honor
airy titles to proclaim his worth, hi
rank and force of character. After thC
next election we can point all parties
to a Governor who is not fgurehea(
,,r a decimal fraction in the makeup
