Chattanooga Delegation on the

ATLANTA. GA, July Col. Northen's
friends met at their headquarters THIS
morning and extended mutual congratula-
tions on the walk-over afforded their can
6idate by Col. Hardeman's retirement
number of speeches were made, but none
were out Of the ordinary run until W. +.
Hill, nephew of the late Senator Ben hlll,
arose and pitched into Col. Livingston. lie
said Col. Northen had succeeded IN bushes
as a scientific farmer, aud would be made
governor on his merits, and not ride into
Office on the shoulders of any secret organi-
cation. This, he intimated, Col. Livingston
was seeking to do, yet Col. Livingston, only
about year ago, hearing that ex-Presldent
jackson of the alliance intended TO run for
congress, had meeting called and decap-
itated President jackson on the ground
that he was trying to plunge the alliance
into politics. Such methods, the speaker
insisted. we're those of demagogues, and
should be repudiated by the people of Geor-
gia. Mr.. Hill is president of the Young
Mems Democratic Club of Fulton county.
THE STATE GEoLoGIST.
The geological advisory board met at the
capitol this morning and held long session.
State Geologist Spencer, after receiving his
commission, was heard from concerning the
cost of teams, wagons, camp equipments,
ETC., needed for the survey. The act pro-
viding for the latter was carefully exam
tned, and there was considerable discussion
as TO whether the proposed expenditure
could be allowed Finally a committee
was appointed, composed Of the irsasurer,
commissioner of agriculture and Prof.
Spencer. to obtain bids on the needful outfit
and report at the next meeting of the board.
The equipment will. it is thought, cost eight
or nine hundred dollars.

united confederates, Gov. Gordon and stall
and President Calhoun, with number of
Fulton county veterans, left her at IL
o'clock tonight, accompanied by the At

HULsEY TO RUN FOR CONGRESS.
Col. William H. Hulsey, whose probable
candidacy for congress was announced
week or two ago, to-day issued his formal
declaration confirming the report 1t will
be frigid weather when Atlanta fails to get
in a candidate of her own edgewise; yet the
prospects seems to be that Congressman
Stewart will carry Fulton county.
1t is rumored that Messrs. Goodwin,
Talleferro and Martin have formed mu-
tual benefit in the legislative race.
Many think that if Col. Hulsey stays in
the congressional race Futon's vote will be
split so badly between him and Judge
Stewart as to throw the county into Col.

preparation for the race, and last night
when he went into his stall he was fit to run
for mans life. This morning when led
out he exhibited symptoms OF lock Jaw.

provement, and the opinion seems to be that
he will die. Following is a summary of the
