COLQUITT FOR GOVERNOR. ATLANTA, Ga., August 1, 1876. Several handred delegates to the Democratic State Convention, which meets at this place to-morrow morning, have already arrived, and the incoming trains are loaded down heavily. The first duty of the Convention, after organization, will be naming a candidate for Governor, There is no doubt that General A. H, Colquitt will be nominated either by acclamation or on the first ballot. As the democratic nomination is considered equivalent to an election, the race in the democratic primaries has been exceedingly bitter. Governor Smith, who was at ono time prossed for a third term, withdrew early in the fight. He was foliowed by ¢x-Congressman Gortrell, and he, in turn, by Hon, Thomas H. Horaman, Speaker of the Georgia House. These withdrawals left’ the race virtually between neral Colquitt and ex-Governor Horschel V. Juhosop, who was for a jong time United States Senator, and who ran for Vice President with Douglas in 1860. Colquitt took the lead from tho start, and has kept the position, until to-night he has ‘o-thirds of the Convention either instructed in vor or openly for hun. THE HAMBURG RIOT, There is a universal condemnation of the Hamburg matter among all the delega.es, and 16 18 quite provable that a resolution pledging the Georgia democracy to punish all such offences and to protect the negro in his fullest rights and privileges will be offered. It will pass ~—s without discussion and unanimously. The delegates lay great stress on the fact that this t rouble occurred in a republican State, while in democratic Georgia there has been no outbreak in years, the negroes are prosperous and happy, have all their rights guaranteed, have public schools sustained by the State government, and have acquired $8,000,000 worth of property (mostly land and houses) in the past six years. GOSSIP ABOUT NATIONAL MATTERS, I find very great enthusiasm prevailing among the delegates and politicians generaliy over the nomina- tion of Tilden and Hendricks. A national democratic triumph is looked for confidently. It 18 noticeable that nearly every politician, when pressed for the basis of his hope in this regard, confesses that it lies m the personal resources, adroitness and energies of Mr. Tilden. They conicnd that as a manager he is up- equalled, that he will part with half his fortane, if necessary in the race, and that tho dem. ocrats, with a shrewd hand at the helm and ‘millions of money in the locker, will go | into the canvass with elements of’ strength never possessed before. Uno politician remarked to a gaping crowd this morning:—"Tilden has it all in his hands. He is worth $6,000,000. Then Abram Hewitt, the Chairman of the National Committee, is his old Jaw partner, and js worth $6,000,000 more. Then Eaward Cooper, the son of Peter Cooper, is Hewitt's brother-in-law, and it is all arranged that ho will draw old Peter down and transfer bis strength to Tilden whenever the right time comes,” THE MAJORITY RULE IX CONVENTION. ® It is certain that the Convention will adopt the ma- jority rule as opposed to the two-thirds ruie, This is important, when it is remembored ,that Colquitt’s friends could nominate him just as easily by the two- 'S positive and formal repudiation of the old democratic rule. Will so vote in the next National Convention. it is rumored to-night that Johneon’s naine has been withdrawn, and that the various elements of oppo- | sition will be united on General W. J. Motfered, who, it is alleged, wilt be strong enough to prevent General Jolqnitt’s instant nomination. If this 1 done the oral constituencies will support, in turn, any pro- man in Georgia who cau bring it fresh etter It is hoped to gradually muster nambers enough to wear Colquitt’s frie will inl, (rom the fact that gates, who would make the tne tion, are instructed to go to Colquitt afier Johnson.

INDIAN ACCOUNT OF CUSTER’S FIGHT—SITTING BULL IN THE REAB DIRECTING OPEBATIONS— ABMS AND AMMUNITION CAPTURED FROM THE WHITES—AGENCY INDIANS TO BR INTIMI- DATED INTO JOINING THE HOSTILES, Cmcaco, Ill., August 1, 1876. J. 8. Poland, captain of the Sixth infantry, writes from headquarters military station, Standing Rock, D. T., under date of July 24, to the Adjutant General, De- partment of Minnesota, St, Pavi, giving an Indian ao count of the battle of the Little Big Horn, June 26, Tho account does not differ essentially from the reports already published. SITTING BULL NOT KILLED. It says, howover, that Sitting Bull was neither killod nor personally engaged in tho fight. He remained im the council tent dirceting operations, Crazy Horse, with a large band, and Black Moon, were the prin- cipal leaders on the 25th of June, KILL BAGLE, THE BLACKFERT, Kill Eagle, a chief of tho Blackfeet, at the head of some twenty lodges, was at this agency about the last of May. He was prominently engaged in the battle of June 25, and afterward upbraided Sitting Bull for not taking an active personal part in the engagement, Kill Eaglo has sent mo word that he was forced into the fight and that he desires to return to the agency, and that he wiil return to the agency if he is killed for it, The report concludes as follows:-— « GATHERING OF THR HOSTILES, There is a general gathering in tho hostile eam p from each of the agencies on the Missouri River, Red Cloud’s and Spotted Tail’s, as also the Northern Chey- ennes and Arrapahoes. INDIAN REYORT OF SUCCESSES. They report, for the special benefit of their relatives, that in three tights they had with the whites they have captured over 400 stand of arms—carbines, rifles and Tovolvers not coun ammunition without end snd some sugar, coflee, bacon and hard bread. They claim to have captured from the whites this summer over 200 horses and mules. 1 suppose this includes opera- tions against the soldiers, the Crow Indians and the Black Hilis miners. The general outline of this Indian roport concurs with the published reports, THE ATTACK ON RENO. The first attack of Reno's began well on in the day. The Indians report about 300 whites killed, and do not say how many Indians were killed, A report from another source says the Indians obtained from Custer’s command 592 carbines and revolvers, CORRCING AGENCY INDIANS, I have since writing the abovo heard the following from returned hostiles:—They communicated as a secret to their particular (riends hero information that & large party of Sioux and Cheyennes were to leavo Rosebud Mountains, a hostile camp, for this agency, to intimidate and compel the Indians here to join Sitting Bull If they retuse they aro ordered to “soldier”? them, beat them and steal their ponies, HOSTILE INDIANS MOVING TOWARD THE AGENCIES, Oman, Neb, Avgust 1, 1870, An oficial telegram from Camp Brown, W. T., to-day, says:—"‘Indian scouts who were sent out from here report that hostile Indians arc moving southeast, ‘They tracod them from the Mead of Crazy Woman’s Fork to tho head of Little Powder River. The number is unknown but 1s believed to be large,” This cor- roborates reports receivod from other sources that a large number of Indians aro doubtless making for the agencies. CANADIAN VIEW OF THE SITUATION—ADDI- TIONAL MISFORTUNFS FEARED—SITTING BULL'S PREPARATIONS TO WINTER IN CANADA—A CALL; FOR TROOPS TO PROTECT THE BRITISH FRONTIER. Tho views exprossed in the Ignaz that tho hostile Sioux when pressed to tho wall by our forces will take refuge in the British posessions, and that Sitting Bull entertained this idea and prepared for it before initint- ing hostilities finds confirmation in the following com- munication to the editor of the Montreal Jerald from agentleman in Manitoba. The description of the situa. Sion contained in the letter and the dangerous position of our little army as regarded from an independent standpoint will be found of interest. To tux Eviror or THe MoxtreaL Hera T have been looking around and seeking information of persons who are more or less familiar with the Sioux and the gection of the country in which the Cnited States troops are contending with the Indians, From the facts gathered aud my own past experience of a comparison between newspaper accounts of United States military suecesses or losses, and what I saw of these successes or losses, I ain thoroughly convinced that the accounts as yet given to the public fall very far short of the truth in loss of men and war material both under Custer and Crooks. It 1s pretty well under- stood here that after Crook had his fight with the Sioux he was thrown entirely on the detensive, with large Joss in men and material, Then the Might with Custer came off, resulting in the utter rout of his column, leaving the Indians freo to turn almost their sole atten- tion to Crook, who, encumbered with sick, wounded and broken down animals, was certainly in a tight place, DANGER OF CROOK'S POSITION, Men with large military experience, and familiar with the Indians and country, regard Crook’s position as having been at best extremety critical, so that any more false movements made on his part would havo been almost sure to cause his destruction. I fear we have yet to bear ot much disaster, and it is quite pos- sible ‘that the reinforcements sent may have sharp | aflairs before effecting a yunction. Sitting Bull has for years been trying to effect a general Indian league. Ho Kas succeotcd ee far na to get teny young Cheyennes, ‘Apaches, Arapahocs and some Chippewas, It is said there are also some Biackfect and Crees in the leagae. At any rate, with the force at the command of Sitting Rull, their knowledge of the country ir easy of subsistence, the United States troops have a hard task before them till winter sets in, then the In- dians are,at a difadvantage, and then I look for largo numbers to cross our borders and camp for the winter. Sitting Bull's runners have, I believe, already been hore to try and arrange with the Indian’ tribes in tho British possessions for A FRIENDLY RECEPTION So tar as I can learn, the tobacco was smoked, but no promise of ail against the United States was given. But st ts said the receipt of the mes- gage was acknowledged, and the matter off riendly re- ception was to bea subject of further consideration. In Minnesota and Dakota there are considerable num- bers of Indians on reservations. ‘They appear to me to wander from the reservations as they choose, to be proud and defiant in their manver and generally look sullen with a hearty hate for all they think are Yankees. Several times 1 have had them say to me, ‘You Queen man?” When I reply yes, their manuer would change and become far more pleasant. NECESSITY FOR TRoors. I have wandered about a little on tho frontior in Minxesota and Dakota as well asin this province, and an ever convinced of the necessity of nel Osborne Smith some infantry, cavalry and artillery as a nucleus, with leave to raise addi- tional force here, There ought aiso to be sufficient arms and military stores sent in time to get cheap transportation. Put itoff titi late in the fall or winter, and it will enormously increase the cost of doing it, besides inygiving great suffering for the men, Some arrangement for feeding refugee Indians should also be planned. Attending to all this at once in a wise manner would not involve a fearful cost of money, but delaying it, Lam afraid will, in cer- tain probable contingencies. Troops | fancy would come by way of Duluth, over the North Pacific Rail- road, thence to Fister's Landing, and down to Fort Garry by the Red River steamers In view of the security British troops would give to the white popu- Jation on both sides of the boundary tino, I fancy the United States authorities would gladly allow Conadian forces to cross their territory by way of Duluth and the North Pacific Railway, and thence down Red River. Stores cau certainly come that way. I want to know that troops are coming here, and coming in time, for I el they may be needed, The mounted police are too few m nam bei NINE PERSONS DROWNED. in case of need. 1 | APPALLING DISASTER TO A MERRYMAKING EX- GAY FREIGHT OF MEN AND WOMEN TO A WATERY GRAVE.

U. 8. GRANT. Exgcotive Maysiox, July 31, 1876 PRESIDENT GRANT TO GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN, The following is the Presidont’s — to Governor Chamberlain referred to above :— Kxxcutive Mansiox, Wasuixarox, D. C.. July 26, 1876. Dean Sir—I am in receipt of your letter of the 22d of July and all the inclosures enumerated therein, giving an account of tho lato barbarous massacre of innocent men at the town of Hamburg, 8. C. The views which you express as to the duty you owe to your oath of office and to citizens to secure to all their civil rights, including the right to vote according to the dictates of their own consciences, and tho further duty of the Executive ofthe nation to give all needful aid, when Properly called on to do 80, to enable you to insure this inalionable right, I fully concur in. The scene at Ham- burg, as eruel, bloodthirsty, wanton, unprovoked and uncalled for as it was, is only a repetition of the course which has been pursued in other Southern States within the last fow years, notably in Slississippi and Lousiana. Mississippi is governed to-day by officials chosen through fraud and violence, such as would scarcely be accredited to savages, much less to a civil. ized and Christian people, How long these things aro to continue or what is to be the final remedy the Great Ruler of tho universo only knows; but I have an abiding faith that the remedy will come and como. specdily, and I earnestly hope that it will como peacefully, Thoro has never been a desire on the part of the North to humiliate the South, Nothing is claimed for one State that is not freely accorded to all others, un- less it may bo the right to kill negroes and = republicans = without fear of — punish- ment and without loss of caste or reputation. This has seemed to be a privilege claimed by a few states, I repeat again that I fully agree with you as to tho measure of your duties in the present emergency, and as to my duties. Go on, and lot every Governor where the samo dangers threaten tho peace of his State go on—in the conscientious discharge of his duties to the humblest as well as the proudest citizen, and I will give ‘evory ad for which I can find Jaw or constitutional power, A government that cannot give protection to life, property and all guaranteed ctvil rights, in this country the greatest is an untrammeiled ballot, to the citizen is, iso far a failure, and every enorgy of the oppressed should bo ozerted, always within the law and by constitutional means, to regain lost privileges and protection. Too | long denial of guaranteed rights is sure to lead to revol- ution; bloody revolution, where suffering must fall upon the imnocent as well as the guilty, Expressing the hope that the better judgment and co-operation of citizens -of the State over which you have presided so ably may cnablo you to secure a fair trial and punishment of all offondera, without distinetion of race or color or previous condi. tion of servitude, and without aid from the federal government, but with the promise of such aid on the conditions named in the foregoing. I subscrihe mywelf, very respectiully, your obedient servant, . GRANT. To Hon, D. M. Coaunentaix, Governor ot ‘South Caro- lina. THE CORONER'S INQUEST.

It charges General M. C. Batler, Colonel A. P. Butler, Dr, Pierce Butler, Rev, J. Meeling and Mifty-three other citizensof Aiken and Eagefeld counties, and thirty Georgians, with murder, The inquest has beon searching and exhaustive, and the verdict has been reached at tho carliest practicable time, Warrants of arrest for all the persons charged with the crime are now in the hands of tho Sheriff of Aiken county. The South Carolinians are said to in- tend to surrender to the Sheriff without delay, Gov- ernor Chamberlain will immediately issue requisitions upon tho Governor of Georgia for all persons charged by the verdict in that State, Attorney General Stono is in Aiken by direction of the Governor to take chargo of the prosecution. The evidence is said to bo far more damning than hererotore belioved. So far the law has taken its course, and this report says the South Carolinians will surrender to the Sheriff. It may yet turn out, as a leading republican remarked here, that this Hamburg affair will be a MOST FORTUNATE INCIDENT forthe South. Public attention has been so directed to it, and there has been such a universal demand in the North that the local authorities shall be allowed and required to do their duty, and that the federal power shall not interfere unless further and very seri- ous resistance to law is made, that both tho Governor and the white people will bo held by pub ic opinion to their just responsibility. GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN’S INTENTION, It is known hero that Governor Chamberlain intends to enforce the laws, maintain order and soe that jus- tice is done without federal Interference; that he will, if necessary, call upon the white people of the county in which Hamburg hes, and if they are not sufficient upon those of adjacent countics, to help him; and that, in short, local self government, so long neglected in such cases, is once more to be asserted. It should not be forgotten that the region about Hamburg is A DISORDERLY COUNER, of the State, and tnat for this and other reasons the Hamburg caso isa crucial test to which the wholo country will look with interest until the trials are con- cluded, The Hamburg riot will, it is hoped, cause tho Governors of other States to feel their responsibility for disorder. It will certainly have tho effect already folt here of fixing public attention upon such outrages, their causes and the vigor with which the local govern- ments repress and punish them. DEMOCRATIC STATES Ton Southern States—Virginia, West Virginia, Geor- gin, Alabama, Tennosseo, Kentucky, Missouri, Missis- sippi, Arkansas and Toxas—havo now democratic Gov- ernors; four—North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana—have republican Governors; Mississippi had a republican Governor Ames, until, by his resigna- tion, a democrat (Stone) succeeded a fow months ago and tho Legislature is also democratic, There is a dis- position to hold these Governors, no matter whether they are democratic or republican, responsible for good order and peace in their respectivo States, and, while doubtless the President is very ready to afford tho assistance of federal troops where a constitutional ground for guch demand can be shown, republican pol- ticians have been made to feel that such federal interfer- ence will bo very unpopular and damaging to tho party unless it is mado clearly nece: 'y through tho apathy and misconduct of the whites, who, it is generally ad- mitted by the democrats, must, under such changed circumstances, come rapidly to the help of the authori- ties in maintaining order and punishing Jawlessnes:— that is to say, local public opinion and local action aro to have an opportunity in the Southern States to act toward the maintenance of peaco and the prevention and punishment of lawlessness, and it will depond upon the white people in the South from now until after the election to SETTLE THE VEXED QUESTION whether thoso States are as lawloss as the extrome re- publicans assert, or whether it {s, a8 the democrats say, the fault of repuolican State governments that outrages occur and crime gocs unpunished, The test ts a per- fectly fair one, and onc on which will depend, to a con- siderable extent, the Northern vote in November, for there is no doubt that one or two outrages like that at Hamburg, if they were not at once put down by tho efforts ot the white people and by thelr co-operation with tho local powers, would turn a very large Northern voto from the democratic to the republican side, Tho Southern whites aro put on their responsibility.

FINE ARTS. PRIVATE VIEW OF A NEW PAINTING BY WILLIAM MORGAN, A private view waa given yesterday at the gallery of S.J. Gibbons, corner Filth avenue and Seventeenth strect, of the latest picture (rom the easel of William Morgan. The painting contains throe figures, life size, and is entitled ‘Motherhood.’ A young woman of the peasantry of Lower Germany, black eyed and with heavy masses of wavy black hair partly hiaden by the red cloth tied around her head, is seated in a Joy chair, with a — sleeping infant in her arms. The utmost refinement of thougb! 18 Manifested in the conception of the subject, and ts felt as you look at this woman, who is not one of the type Who are so delicate In form and feature that the sympathies of a strong nature are instineuvel: aroused, but is one of the splendid women, with wells developed figures, and hearts of mingled ‘tenderness and firmness, such women as the peks of old honored, and those who gave to their country the greatest number of citi, » rewarded publicly, Mr. Morgan has gone back ‘to those times for inspiration, and gives here the samo self-reliant woman, full of dignity and reserved strength, and yes with a wonderful amount of tenderness in her face, as she looks down at the little helpless piece of humanity in her arms, wrapped in an old blanket, but not less precious than if it were clothed in the most delicate cambric and Inces, This group 1s almost complete in itself, but the introduction of a fhird figure gives greater breath in sentiment, and at the same Um gives a more realistic interest to the work, A inte girl of tour or five years looks with cnildish curiosity over the mother’s arm at the new candidate for her attention, Her old r doll is held bebind her by both hands, emblematic the first lesson in the life of woman, whose crowning glory ts that uf motherhood, The work 1s one of gen uino high art, 18 fall of sentiment without drifting - into the sentimental, avd is tectmioaily successtul, or is pure and harmonious throughout, the goou, inthe hands particulary so, and in the poro of the’ tigures really tine, ‘The textures are good and express the different materials without being so elaborately finished as to take the attention from tho interest of the figures themselves, In a few minor details the gradations ot tone have been neglected but they can be casily harmonized when the picture is ina condition to be varnished, It ts dee cidediy the best that Mr. Morgan bas yet given to the public, and would, without detriment, occupy a posi- tion beside any imported picture now on exhibitivn im this city, It will remain for a tew days at tho gallery where it Is at present, A GOOD MINSTREL TROUPE, Kelly & Leon deserve success, Their minsrtel troupe ig ono of the bost the city has ever had. Their jokes are fresh, their music good, and their burlosques per> fectly screaming. But let us remind Messrs, Kelly & Leon that when the public is invited to see negra minstrels they expect black faces, Burnt cork is the eesence of negro minstrelsy, and no amount of clever. ness on the part of Leon’ can compensate for the absence of a black face, Leon 18 not half so attractive in bloade make up asin African mask. Let us also remind these managers that programines are only of use in two cases—when they tell what is to be per- formed and when the light 1s sufficient to read them, Very iittle attention 18 paid to either of those requires ments by Manager Kell HOTEL ARRIVALS.
