Xow-in giving this opiniou,the Sun gives
o.-e of the strongest arguments iu f ivor of
the English view, although the conclusion
was foreign to the Sun’s intentions. The
fact that such a monopoly would give the
English publishers a still more profitable in
terest in an author’s work would certainly
redound to the interest and the profit of
the author in the same ratio that the publish
er would bo profited.
Aa author’s work is esteemed valuable
as it is profitable to his publisher, an 1 the
more profitable the publication, the more
will the author be likely to realize for his
work.
The Suns argument is only an uncon
scious outcropping of Communism that can
not apprecia e the natural relation that ex
ists between labor and capital. It is a false
and dangerous one.
Home Ga., Nov. 13th., 1371.
To the Cl I hr,is of Row.
There is a great deel of wire-working of
1 ite as to who shall and shall not run for
Major and Aldermen, discussing the merits
and etc.,—merits of this one and of that
one. The standanl of c.wVcncc seems to
be. can he or they controll this influence
and th it influence, will Richard Hoc and
duo. Doe support him or them, no reference
is made as to whether or not he or they
would discharge the duties of the office
honestly and faithfully. Or would be willing
to make any personal sacrifice of time from
their own private business to look after the
interest of the city. 1 have heard many
questions asked, but none in that direction.
All seem anxious to beat some one and his
t arty, and arc ready to run any body who
they think can do this whether he or they
and faithful Councilmen
sacrifice the interest of
some petty prejudice.
>d men, Ik nest men, men

We have sou:
who have been successful in their
business, hut they would not make good
<h>u: oilmen, for the simple reason they
would not neglect their * own business one
hour to go out and look af er the interest of
the city. .As prn)f of this re.iew, the
several Councils Mi ce the war, if you have
been an observer of passing events you will
remember some who never neglecting
their own business for the purpose of look
ing after the iuterest of the city. To be a
uood Councilman, he must necessarily neg
lect his own business to a great extent,duty
requires tin’s, so don’t elect any but such as
y *u think wi 1 do this. It makes my heart
sick to see this petty strife manifested by
those who should set a better examble, men
of itifluane aud who, claim to be the lead
ing men in all matters pertaining to the
interest of the city, and deserves great
credit lor what they have done. 15 ;t alas,
tney do not know how far their prejudices
curry them, yet they think they have none.
Citizens, don’t elect ambitions men, men
who seek the office, e.cct m.:n who \ou are
satisfied have some conscientious scruples us
to their du'/y, men who will serve the city,
and not a party, or any particular interest,
men who will not be afraid to do right for
fear they wiii displease some one,and there
by loose his or their influence in the uext
election Let us remember tbe n axim of

Resolutions of Thanks.
Dalton, Ga., Nov. 3d, 1371.
At a meeting of the members of the
Dalton Bar, held iu the Court-house in this
city, to-day, Col. W. K. Mooie was called
to the chair and T. Ik Joucs.Esq.. request
ed to act as Secretary.
The Chairman explained the object of the
meeting to be, that of drafting aud present,
ing suitable resolutions e£pres?ir* of the
thanks of the members of this Bar, to
the lion. R. D. Ilarvcy for his courtesy to
us and general administration of law duriu;
the present term of this Court
Upon motion of Col. C. D. McCutcheon
the Chairman appointed a committee, con
siting of I. E. Shumate, J. A. Ik Ilanks
and T. R. Jones-, Esqrs., to draw up resolu
tions.
The Committee, through Col. I. E. Shu
mate, reperted the following, which was
adopted:
Whereas, the absence of His Honor, J.
Ik Parrott, Judge of thi3 Circuit, has been
the means of introducing to the members
of this Bar His Honor, R. D. Harvey, Judge
of the Rome Circuit, in his official capacity;
and whereas. His Honor, R. D. Harvey,
has presided in this Court during the pres
ent term, and has administered the law in
a manner entirely satisfactory to the Bar
aud the couLtry; therefore,
Resolved 1. That the thanks of this Bar
be aud are hereby tendered to His Honor
for his very gentlemanly courtesy to us,
and the strict impartiality and ability with
which ho has discharged the duties of
Judge of this Ccurt during the present
term.
Resolved 2. That the Secretary be re
quired to furnish Judge Harvey with a copy
of these resolutions, and also to furnish a
copy thereof to the North Georgia Oitizt..

W. K. MOORE. Chairman.
T. R. Jonf. Secretary.
Tiie Storm.—A terrible storm lias raged
along the New England Coast, wrecking ves,
sels and destroying wharves and roads. It
was the most severe gale ever known.
President Grant, i closeted over his forth
coming message. It requires an extra box
of Cigars to obtain an interview with him.
We"may expect something unusually brilliant,
even eclipsing his Portland speech.
GEN. BLAIR’S SPEECH AT MERIDIAN.
Gen. Frank P. Blair, 1 as been sent down
South Ku-Kluxiug. He is a zealous watch
er over the interest of our people, and
while protecting them iu the inquisition, he
can find time to speak a word of comfort
in the open air.
Iu a recent speech delivered at Meridian,
Miss, he gave utterance to the following
truths, which we commend to the careful
consideration of nil— white and black. Es
pecially do we ask our black friends to read
it, and consider its words of honest advice.
In reading, remember that Geu. Blair was
a Feder 1 Officer, 'he did as much towards
liberating tbe laves as any other mao.
Much more than the men who now claim to
be their best and only friends:
_he interest of both races in the South,
.f the white as well as the black, requir s
tiiat these should be peace and harmony
aud good will between them. Nobody in
this State < r in any State, has any iuterest
io the engendering<»f ill-feeling aud discord
betw- en the races, except the few adveutu-
i-ius cuipet bangers who desire to subserve
their own interests to tlie de riment of the
interests of the entne people, white and
black. (Applaus- ) The whitepropl«ofthis
State and of the Southern States are the
owners < f lands and almost all the property
aud capital within them. The black people
constitute a lar e body < f the laboring peo
ple,and each c!as> is essential to the other.
ITe owners of the lands cannot cultivate
thorn without the thews and sinews if the
coined people; nor can the colored people
cultivate these lands without the aid, with
out tiie co-operati n of those who own the
lands. In any aspect of this casein which
it can be surveyed, the interests of these
two races are identical; and no man, with
in the broad limits of all these Southern
States, has any iuterest in creating discord
between the whites and blacks, except that
malicious gang of carpet-baggers who have
come down here to serve their own interest
and the interest of no other human beings.
(Applause.)
It is the interest of both classes of peo
ple in the South that the white > and the
blacks ohould be educated It is the iuter
est of both races to co operate in all things
and with cordiality. It is the interest of
both races that there should be an Ik nest
and economical administration of your gov
ernment, couuty,city and State; ana it is
the interest of this miserable gang of car
pet baggers to gtt themselves into office and
plunder both races alike. Do the black
people believe that these men have come
down hereon a mission of mercy to work
out their salvation? No. Look at the
brief record they have made for themselves.
They have come to plunder and to prey up
on the black and white alike.
Now, my fellow citizens, it mus; Oe ap
parent to every man who has any reason
about him, that these men have not come
down here on any mission to eleva’e the
blacks. If that was their mission, they
would give themselves entirely to- the task
of maintaining peace and good-will between
the blacks and the whites, because without
that,there can be no prosperity to either.
Their whole effort and object has been to
recall to memory, all that has been in the
past, to excite the animosity of the two ra
ces against each other. Their effort,every
where is to break up the friendly relations ;
to destroy the sympathy and to obliterate all
kindliness of heart belweeu the two races.
If they come to speak to the blacks, they
tell them to look back to ihe time when
they were in b;n iage; they draw the most
odious pictures of the condition of the
black race; r ut they never go back to the
time when their ancestors tore the black
people from their homes in Africa and tu-
slaved them iu America. (Loud applause.)
They never refer to the time that the New
England States and New England men were
the instruments by whom the black men
were taken from their homes and placed ia
the servitude in which they were held i-u
the Southern States. Thisis their language:
“Wc came down here to break your bonds
and set you free, and we expect you to give
us all the good offices. We expect you to
place us in all the official positions in order
that we may wring fro u the impoverished
people of this Scale, the last remnants of
property left, with which to support them
selves and families aud to employ the blacks,
and pay them their wages.”
Now, my fellow citizens, of both colors,
the man who stiis ip strife, in your midst,
is the enemy of white and black alike.
Whoever uoes back to harrow up your feel
ings with tilings which have occuredin past
\ ears, to set you at enmity aud embitter you
against each other, that man is the enemy
of all of you lie has come lure for no
good purpose. He docs uot desire to ele
vate either the one race or the other. He
is intent, upou making you enemies in order
that he may plunder both races—both
white and black.
South Carolina.—Something of the
condition of poor, down-trodden South
Carolina may be realized by the following
special dispatch to the Charleston A r c/r.q
dated Columbia, Dth instant:
“The financial situation is unchanged,
but any change must be for the better. The
State is perfectly bankrupt, and a draft of
oue dollar on the State Treasury to-day was
dishonored. Judges, school teachers and
other State appointees aie clamoring for
payment, and Selling their warrants at ten
and fifteen per cent discount.
“The wo~st feature of the situation is the
abseuce of financial officers of the State and
the studious suppression of facts by those
who remain.
“The largest tax-payers and the leading
bankers of this city are wholly ignorant of
the condition of ‘he State finances, and the
securities of the State are offered at ridicu
lously low figures, with no takers The
interest on the State bonds, due October
1st, has not yet been paid, and the bankers
of this city, at their meeting to-day, agreed
to have no further dealings in State securi
ties. It is stated on the highest authority
that the Dame of Henry Clews, of New
York, appears on the Kimpton’s bond only
as a witness, and not as a bondsman.”
