Speaking of iron ore, tho Air-Line Eagle says:
"This valuable metal abounds in Hall, Gwin

and copper, though poorer, will, in time, be
very valuable from their abundance and cheap
production. All the counties of North-east
Georgia abound iu ir"n ores ; but those coun
ties situated on and near the great belt of
primitive limestone, which traverses the Status
of Georgia and South Carolina, a short distance
North of the ithoolnmite, or flexible sandstone,
contain a much larger quantity. Tho Air Line

There was a railroad Convention at Athens
hist Saturday. A speceial to tho Chronicle &

here to-day lor the purpose of taking immedi

Railroad from Athens to ClAyton was a suc
cess. The meeting was well attended, and
there was a large crowd present from North
east Georgia. The Convention was organized
by electing Col. Hillnps President, and Messrs.
Cobb and Randall Secretaries. On mo
tion of Col. Mitchell a Committee of
sisting of Messrs. Mitchell, King, Wright.
Jones, Dupree and Phinizy, was appointed to
prepare business for the Convention. The
Committeo reported resolutions favoriug the
extension of the Georgia Railroad from Ath
ens to Clayton and requesting the peoplo along
the line from Athens to Augnsta to aid the
work; which wore adopted. An animated
discussion took place, in which Messrs. King,
Wright, Mitchell, Hillyer, Harrow and Ful
ton participated. Thero was much interest
manifested in tho proposed road and tho meet
ing was in all respects a success. At tho close
of tho meeting a Committee, consisting ot

Those charges and specifications are fol

millions, and that since tho inauguration of
President Grant tho reduction has been near
ly fifty-seven millions of dollom. We submit
tnat this is unkiud to our Democratic friends.
Tim "nigger” is no longer available ; the great
debt and tbe necessarily heavy taxation are
their only capital, and by all their rnlos of
logio this debt ahoald bo rapidly increasing.
But tho President has so Improved the collec
tion of revenue, and ko dcoreaaed current ex
penses, that everything goes wrong; tho vast
debt created by Domocratio Rebellion, and
fostered as far as possible by Democratic
knavery, is rapidly diminishing.
If things aro to go ou iu this way, wbut on
ouith will the World do for eomothiug to howl
about? Fifty-seven millions wiped ORl in se
ven months, with tho best poasiblo disposition
to keep doing so! Thu World charges the
late tornado in Wall street to tbe Republican
party, and iu its vague generalization shows
(or tries to) that we arc all going to everlast
ing smash because of the election of Grant.
Now if Grant keeps up this reduction of eight
millions a month for his four years, ho will
show a duaroaso of throo hundred aud eighty-
four millions, and bring tho rato of taxation
down by fifty pci eont. We condole with our
distressed neighbor, and shall bo happy to

Important Derision.
False Alarm.
The Savannah Republican is alarmed at
what it considers a "prospective coalition”
between certain Democrats and Republicans
upon the basis of the XVtU amendment,
tears the "Democracy" is preparing to surren
der its last hobby, aud tlmt consequently, the
colured members will be restored, and tbo
proposed Constitutional Amendment adopted
by the next Legislature.
We presume the Legislature will rostore tho
colored members to their political rights un
der the Stato Constitution; but will tho
moeracy" voto to enforce tho XIVth Article';
If so, well; if not wo npprehond that the fears
of tho Republican arc wholly groundless. There
may be a coalition effected upon the basis of
tho XVt’i Amendment; but unless it goes fur
ther and tu-rforms to tho reconstruction Jaws
of Congress it will »* nply amount to nothing.
That is to say, when Democrats nreept th©
Republican policy of reconstruction, and
manifest an honest purposo to comply with
the Law a successful "coalition" will be
in the range of probability—not before,
other words, Democracy must abandon its
dogmas, its foolhardy editors, aud como to
tho Republican platform. This they on
and retain their old worn out party
name if they choose, as names aro simply
matters of ta«do. Wo would, however, advisi
that they dispense with that also, and thn
com. iu with clean bauds!

purpose to visit the South this winter, and he
has been “interviewed” by Southern gentle
men, probably with a view to this end. How
much truth, or whether there is any truth in
the rumor, wo know not. Quito as much do-
pends, perhaps, upon the condition of public
bosiuess us upon tho wishes of General Grant.
Ol his reception at the South, however,

pudcutly object to a visit from tho President,

A a important decision, recently road ©rod
by tho Supreme Court of Louisiana iu relation
to tho construction of tho fourteenth amend
ment to tho Federal Constitution, has been
ived here by the Attorney General. Tho
waa that of the State in the relate
Aturin against Garriqno, and the decision of
tho Supremo Court is ihat when one has taken
|oath of oftico bofore the war to support the
[Constituturn of the Unitod States, and during
the war hold au office in a Stato in rebellion,
which required him to take an oath to support
tbo Confederate States, such a person connot
bo said to have engaged in insurrection auil
rebellion Against the United States, or given
aid or comfort to the enemies thereof in the
meaning of section throo of tho fourteenth
amendment. This decision will be found
very important, and of large scope in reduc
ing and limiting disfranchising clauses of the
Constitution anil acts of Congress.
We clip the nbove from a Washington letter
to tho Augusta (Go.) Tress. It covers very
important ground, aud should bo considered
with attention.
When will the National Debt be Paid
Of all the heavy blows which Republican
orators, financiers, and statesmen havo dealt
to the despondent Democratic suggestion of
repudiation, none are so effective as the late
official ostiuiAtes, by officors high in the favor
of the Administration and equally high in the
confidence of tho people, os to the exact way
aud time in which the uatiouul debt, principal
and interest, will be paid. When wo learn
from nil authority like Commissioner Delano
that tlio revenue receipts for a siugle quarter,
under President Grunt, exceed by ten millions
those of the same period under his predeces
sor, wo know on what facts and figures these
welcome prospects of paying the national
debt aro based.
Tho letter ot Commissioner Wells to Mr.
Dudley, our Consul at Liverpool, tallies with
tho recent speech of Mr. Delano, os to tho in
creased surplus of revenue which Presidgat
Grant's administration will coitainly briugus.
Mr. Wells assures us, to begin with, tliut the
surplus revenue for tho fiscal year ending
Jnue 30, 18G9, (comprising but four months of
General Grant’s administration,) was at least
$48,000,000 ; i. c., receipts, $371,000,000 ; i
penditures, $323,000,000.
The average annual increase of elasticity
the revenue from tho growth of the country is
fully $15,000,000; while, adds Mr. Wells, "the
gain from the rigid system of economy inau
gurated by tho present Administration, and
from a more faithful collection of taxes, will
undoubtedly equal, aud probably exceed,
$30,000,000.” Taking tho last years's basis of
$48,000,000 to guide us, wo may expect,
therefore, with this addition of $-15,000,000 a
year, a surplus next Juuo of $93,000,000.
But, in reality, tho surplus of last year was
reduced by a payment ot $18,000,000 on extra
bounties auil oue of $7,500,000 gold ($9,500,
000 curroncy) for Alaska. These sums vee
shall gain each year hereafter; and, adding
thorn t j our account, wo get a total of $120,-
000,000, ou tho Commissioners’ estimates,
our probable surplus revenue for tho current
fiscal year.
How shall this grand surplus ho applied?]
From tho first we havo argued that, for tho
present, a fixed annual amount of $50,000,000
should bo devoted to reducing tho national
debt, nnd all tho rest should go to reducing
thu taxes. Wo havo little doubt that thiH
policy will in time prevail. Mr. Delauo hat
said that with continued frugality and faith
ful collection of tho revenue, so as to make
it yield, us at present, a minimum surplus of
$100,000,000 overall expenditures, to be ap
plied to tho national debt, tho latter will be
reduced in oight years to $1,200,000,000. Mr.
Wells tells us that nn annual investment of
this same surplus sum of $100,000,000 at six
percent., in a sinking fund, will extinguish
tho entire principal of our debt in less than
fifteen years. But suppose that wo take
simply the surplus revenue of $50,000,000,
which was found to be annually collectable
under tho Johnson Administration, and ap
ply this regularly to tho reduction ■
the debt ; suppose, also, that, taking
tho gain under the present Adminis
tration purely from economy of expense
anil the more faithful collection of taxes—a
probable amount of $30,000,000, according to
Mr. Wells—wo reduce by this amount tho
taxes, how then shall wo como out? Mr.
Wells answers us specifically. The annual in
vestment, he tells us, of $50,0(H),000 at six
per cent., in a sinking fund, will extinguish
tho national debt iu twenty-threo years, ns thu
investment of $100,000,000 would extinguish
it in less than fit teen yet rs ; "mid between
these periods,” ho adds, "you have, in ray
opinion, the exact time whou tho present pub
lic debt of tbo United States will bo extin-
guished.l
In other words, at our present rato of taxa
tion, thn debt will bo wiped out in fifteen
years, while, oven at a much reduced rato of
taxation, it can be wiped out in twenty-three
years. So much fur the policy of frugality
and fidelity as opposed to that of rocklossness,
repudiation and ruin.—AT. Y. Times.
Virginia.
General Oanby yesterday issm-d an order to
this effect : " Upon the election of a Clerk of
the Senate and a Clerk of tho House of Dele
gates of the General Assembly of tho Stato of
Virginia, the duties devolved upon the Secre
tary of tho Commonwealth, by paragraph
three ot general orders No. 58, of May, 1869,
will cease, and tho records and other proporty
pertaining to Ins offie.* will be transferred to
the custody of thu clerks who may be elected
by the respective houses of the General As
sembly.’’
Tins order indicates that tho Legislature
must orgftnizu permanently by tho election ol
elerks and other officers. It is rumorod tbe
tost oath will bo exacted from these officials,
though tho opinion of the Attorney General
would seem to dispense with that obligation.

two weeks in collecting thii party. He ley*
that any number of valuable emigrant* can be
secured for the South thero by sending over
agents to make proper representations to
them. They know bat little about the South,

A Royal Good Job.—Fifteen members of
tho Spanish Cortes have been commissioned
to report on the merits of tho various candi
dates for the throne now vacant in Madrid.—
As there are almost as manj candidates as
commissioners, nnd as each individual com
missioner will be very likely to present a new
one, tho proceedings of the body will make a
fine Spanish ollapodrida. There is "money
in it, howover, and that to an extent which
would make tho mouth of tho "ring man" in
Washington or Albany to water. King making
by committees is the newest, biggest aud most
profitable job yet out.
