April.
White, at Cleveland, on tho first Saturday
in April.
The people of Habersham county are called
upon to meet at tbe court houso in Clarkes
ville on tbe first Tuesday in April to appoim

Our meeting, tor the same purposo, will be
bold on tbe same day, as will be seen by no
tico in another column.
Death or the “ Irish Patriot.”
John Mitchell, the celebrated Irish patriot,
who bad been eleoted to Parliament a second
time, died one day last week. His death will
be mourned by tho lovers of liberty in tbb
Southern land. His heart and soul was with
the South in " tho late unpleasantness,” and
ho lost two sons in tbe war. Although the
British Government bad branded him a ‘ felon,'
his fellow-citizens twice elected him to thr
British Parliament by large majorities. This
was the greatest triumph of his eventful life.
Terrible Cyclone.
A tornado swept over portions of Jefferson.
Johnson, Laurens, Bibb, Twiggs and Wilkin
foii counties on Monday of last week—bion in.
down bouses, trees, fences and every thing ii
its path—carrying off roofs of houses, irm<
pots and sundry and various other thine.-*.
The destruction of property was very great, as
wo learn from our exchanges.
The Tornado at Atlanta,
On Saturdny afternoon, unroofed some houses
and blew down portions of others, as we learn
from the A’ttcs, but no lives were lost.
Employment for Convicts.
It seems that this question is attracting at
tention in the neighboring State of Tennessee,
as well as hero in Georgia. The Nashville
Banner says:
“ We understand that the project is on foot
to remove the Penitentiary to some point where
iruu and coal are to be found in close proxim
ity, a..d set tbe convicts to making pig iron,
and nothing else: not only for tho purpose ot
profit to the Slate, but as well to give a prnc
ticai demonstration of the extreme low cost
of making iron in Tennessee, and also for the
purpose of taking the prison labor out of com
petition with mechanical pursuits. Bearing
in mind that 90 per cent, of the cost of •• pig
irou" consists in common labor, such as the
convicts can readily furnish, the scheme seems
feasible. At the present ratio of increase in
the number of convicts, it will be only five
years until we have from 2,000 to 3,000 on
hand.”
Why not adopt and utilize this plan In Gcor
gia T Tbe old system baa proved a failure and
tho present plan of hiring them out does not
work well. Georgia is rich in iron ore and
coal. Why not employ the convicts in tbe
manufacture of pig iron * It would bo a sourco
of revenue to tho State—while, at tho same
time, they could be safely kept and treated
with humanity. This matter is worthy the
attention of legislators.
Do iTwell.
Do what well t Any thing and every thing
you undertake. We would impress upon tbe
minds ot boys and young men the importance
of doing every thing well. It is tbe secret of
human success, and it is just as important in
small matters as in largo ones. The boy who will
not sweep out a store or office well, will never
make a good clork, merchant, printer, editor,
doctor or lawyer. We have tried it in a prim
ing office, and have never yet found a boy
wbo failed to sweep cleau make a useful man
afterwards. It is alike true in all tho aflairs
of life. He that is careful in small matters
will bo successful in large affairs, lie that is
faithful in small things will always be found
worthy to manage important trusts.
Young man, whatever may bo your calling,
or whatever you may underuko to accomplish
he sure to do it u-ell, for on this “ hangs the
law aud the prophets.” And, remember.
“ Nothing is beneath the attention of a truly
great man,” ami it is a thousand times better
to be an eminent blacksmith or Urick mason
than a jack-leg lawyer or one-horse doctor.

Rabun Gap*-Its Past aad Present.
We bare received from oar old friend, Rev.
C. D. Smith, of Franklin, N. C., a very inter
eating article contributed by him to tho Col
uinns of the Citizen, which we shall Int next

Tho U* S. Senate
Is still in Executive session. '1 ho considers
tion of the admission of Pinchbnck has been
postponed until December. A resolution of
approval of tbe President's Louisiana policy
has been introduced, but not yet finally acted
on. If ail tbe Radicals vote for it, it will, of
course, pass; but tbe people will be called on
to pass judgment on it at the Presidential elec
tion next year, when wo think they will un
qualifledly condemn it.
A Bald Upon Mexico;
It is said that Senators Cameron, Morton,
Anthony, Chandler, Morrill, Ransom, Gordon,
Dennis, Allison and Clayton, and Vice Presi
dent Wilson and a number of railroad mag
nates and other distinguished personages, are
about to make a raid upon Mexico. What
the object of this jaunt to our sister Republic
may be, has not yet transpired.
Altered Gauge.
Persons who travel North by way of Char
lotte and Greensboro’, N. C., will be glad to
learn that tbe railroad gangs between those
points has l«en changed so as to conform to
that of connecting roads, and dispensing with
the frequent change of cars so annoying to
passengers.
A New Invention.
Tbe latest novelty produced by Inventive
genius Is aroachlns for writing, or ratber print
ing, called the “ Type Writer,” which, it is
claimed, will operate twice or tbreo times as
rapidly as the ordinary pen-writing from thirty
to sixty words per minute. It is operated
like a piano—each key having a letter on it,
and a depression of the key stamping a cor
responding letter (which receives ink from a
cootiououe ribbon) upon the paper. It Is said
to be so simple that any one may learn di
rectly to operate It with ease and facility. If
the inventor will send us a machine, we win
give him, (In tho language of Brother Ragan)
•• a loud notice.”

Civil Rights.
Of all the abominations attempted by Rad
icalism and inspired by deadly hate, nothing
has proved a more signal failure than the so-
called ” civil rights” iniquity, which was in
tended to stir np strife between the two races
at the Sonth, and not to benefit tbe colored
people, who enjoy, under oar State laws, all
the substantial rights guaranteed to the white
race. It is true, that a few turbulent negroes
nave made attempts upon drinking saloons
and barber shops in some of our Southern
cities—not knowing that the civil rights law
loes not apply to such places—and a few otb
*rs have attempted to get seats among the
whites at theatres and found themselves landed
in the streets by the agency of parties uu-
known. With these few isolated cases, things
go on just as they did before tbo passage of
tho law, and will continue to do so.
The social 6tatus of the citizens canDot be
fixed by legislative enactment. It is governed
by higher laws than human statutes. In bis
infinite wisdom God created different races of
men, as He did of the inferior animals, and
like tho brutes, they will retuaiu separate and
distinct as long as they dwell on tbe face of
the earth. CoDgross bad as well pass a law
requiring eagles and owls to occupy tbe same
nest, or geese aud turkeys to perch on the
«amo roost, as to compel whites and blacks ti
associate on terms of equality. The civil
rights law will bo about as effective as tbe
Pope's bull against the comet!
Fire in Atlanta.
On the morning of tbe 17th instant, a de
structive fire occurred in Atlanta. G. W. Jack,
in whoso candy establishment the fire origina
ted, Paul Jones, liquor dealer, a clothing store
Smith & Motes’ gallery and Sharpe’s jewelry
establishment wore the chief sufferers. Loss
estimated at $15,000. The Southern Mutual,
'e learn, had insured a portion of the property
destroyed. Wo do not know the amount ol
its loss by the fire.

BUb Yetoed by the Governor.
To authorize the Governor to farm out to
tbe President and directors of the Atlanta and
Amicalola railroad, and of the Norcross and
Dablonega railroad, and Marietta and North
Georgia railroad, 100 convicts not otherwise
disposed of.
I disapprove of this bill. All the peniten
tiary convicts have been disposed of under ex
sting laws. While I am in favor of building
ill tbe railroads mentioned in the bill, I do ont
think it to the public interest to divide tbe
couvicts into more numerous divisions than
oxist at present. Besides, the Marietta aud
North Georgia railroad company, mentioned
as a beneficiary under this bill, has just given
up 250 convicts employed in that work. It
is hardly worth while to provide by law for
giving them an extra hundred at present.
To amend an act to establish a County Court
for the Counties of Lee and Dougherty, and to
extend its provisions to tbe County Court of
Decatur county.
This bill seeks to reduce the salary of tbe
county judge of Decatur couuty court. The
law uuder which the court was established
provides that the salary of tbe judge shall uol
oo increased or diminished during his coutiu-
uauce in office,

This bill is not approved. I bavo been in
formed reliably that the provisionn of the bill I
The vote necessary to elect will be 184. The
writer in the Almanac sums up thus:
Of the Democratic States, Louisiana is under
the bayonet, and Now Hampshire the object of
a close comost.
Connecticut, Nevada, New Hampshire aDd
North Carolina, among the Democratic States,
aggregate 24 electoral votes, and California,
Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts. Oregon, Penn
sylvania and Wisconsin, among tho Repub.i-
can States, aggregating 89 electoral votes, are
now divided in control. And Ohio, with its
22 votes, although placed in tbe Republican
column, because it was such when it cast its
largtst vote, is entirely Democratic.
Of tho States which have gooo Republican
on their largest vote, California, Illinois, Mas
sachusetts, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin have since voted the other way, in
stirring contests; and their present predilec
tions, undor a liberal Democratic policy, are in
that direction. Evidently, therefore, the De
mocracy cannot bo beaten, unless they beat
themselves.
Of course it will not do to “ plug our melon
too soon,” but we bavo much faith in tho gen
eral correctness of the abovo estimate, which
makes all due allowances for a great and close
contest. Tho last sentence referring to the
possible suicide of tho Democracy is the turn
ing point of the whole matter. It is not to be
doubted that considerable dependence is placed
by the Republicans upon tbe fatal facility of
their antagonist in committing blunders at tin*
supreme moment. It is to be hoped that, in
1870, no folly will stand between tho Demo
cracy and triumph.—Constituiionalist.
The Governor’s Veto.
Among the hills vetoed by Gov. Smith was
one authorizing the Governor to hire out 100
penitentiary convicts to certain railroads
He states that the convicts have all been al
ready hired out, which, wo think, is an all-
sufficient reason for vetoing the bill. The
Dablonega Signal, however, seems to think
differently, and denounces the Governor in
tho most unmeasured terms—not forgetting
to give wbnt ho calls the ” codfish aristocra
cy” of Athens a passing notice.
We must confess wo cannot see what con
nection the people of Athens have with this
matter, nor any reason for denouncing them
as" codfish aristocracy nor can we perceive
wby the Governor should bo denounced for
not furnishing the couvicts after they had all
been disposed of.
Hon. H. P. Bell Before the People.
We copy from the Gainesville Southron, of
the 16ib inst., tho following paragraphs in re
Terence to Col. Bell's late speech at Gaines
ville :
At 12 o'clock to-day, Hon. H. P. Bell ad
dressed tbe citizens of Hall, at the Court
House. We entered too late to bear the
opening remarks.
‘ He reviewed the history of tbe last Con
gress in a brief and pointed manner, thereby
showiug much of bis invulnerable Congres
sional record. He thinks tho most momen
tous crisis of this country was met at tbe 2d
session of tbo XLIII Congress, and that this
country is to-day in a more bopefal condition
than for many years; that 1876 will inaugu
rate &a era of peace, unity and prosperity.
So far as Col. Bell's references to his record
are concerned they were unnecessary. His
record in Congress admits of no successful at
tack. We know his record, and against it
we have nothing to eay.
His expressions of party fealty found a
hearty response in tbe audience. Bat Col.
Bell's views or tbe virtue and efficiancy of
speaking in Congress, at the present lime, are
speculative.
Col. Bell made a real good speech. He is
evidently quite hopeful for the country, and
say what we will, be has a strong hold upon
tbe confidence of a large element of the people
oftbe9tb District.
Tbe race for the nomination is now between
Hill and Bell, and, from all we learn, tbe ad
herents of each will divide on the nominee
and Price. We do not believe there will be
perfect harmony between the advocates of
Hill or Bell. The defeated party will split,
and the disaffected will rally to Prioe.
Cruelty to Animals.
We publish !u another oolnmn tbe act of tbe
late Legislature to prevent cruelty to animals.
This Is all very well, as for ns It goes, but we
need something to prevent cruelty to men—es,

From the Augusta Constitutionalist.
A DISASTROUS TORNADO.
Camak Demolished—Thompson Injured by the
Storm—A Humber of Persons Killed and In
jured at Both Places—The Course of the Storm
—Its effects in Augusta.
Just after two o'clock yesterday afternoon
tho rain poured down in torrents for about
twenty minutes and flooded tbe streets in al
most every direction. It was wonderful to
sco what an amount of water fell in a rain of
such short duration.
Soon after tbe cessation of tbe rain a report
was rapidly spread on the streets that the
town of Thompson, on the Georgia Railroad,
37 miles from Augusta, had been visited by a
tornado and that there were many casualties
Definite information was not received until
the arrival of tbe Georgia Railroad train, about
5:30 p. m., wbicb was nearly two hours behind
time.
Upon tbe arrival of the traiD at that hour,
our reporter interviewed Conductor James
Johnson aud obtained tho following informa
tion :
TnE HURRICANE
or tornado appeared to have struck Camak
about one o'clock, P. M., twenty minutes pre
vious to tbe time wbicb the down day passen
ger train was due at the station. The com
ing of tho tornado was anticipated by many
persons who saw it approaching, but it swoop
ed so suddenly and with such force upen the
devoted village as to prevent tho inhabitants
from escaping, even if they bad a place of re
fuge. Every house in the village was
DEMOLISHED,
in a few minutes, including tbo depot, tbe
large hotel and several cars standing on the
railroad track. Not a house was left stand
ing. the tornado seeming to sweep down every
thing in its course. It had. like an eagle,
swooped down on Camak and laid waste the
whole place. It apparently struck the ground
about a mile above Camak a few minutes past
■no o'clock, p. m., coming from the direction
of Warrenton on tho Macon and Augusta Rail
road. After leaving Camak the hurricane
seemed to have taken a northerly course, then
turned to the east,
TOUCHING THOMPSON,
about ton miles bolow, on the Georgia Rail
road. We did not learn the extent of the
damage at this place, further than that some
houses were blown down and a number of per
sons were killed. '
THE CASUALTIES,
so far as we could learn yesterday evening,
wore considerable. At Camak tbe night
watchman in the employ of the Georgia Rail
road at that point, named Thomas Geesling,
attempted to reach a boose near by to escape
tbe storm, but finding it impossible took re
fuge under a freight car standing on the track,
loaded with tea tons of guano. When tbe
tornado struck the ear it was overturned by
tbe force of tbe wind, and the man ' beneath
was crushod to death by the great weight
falling upon him.
Edward Skinner, a fireman on tbe road, was
also injured, his skull and one arm being bro
ken by the falling of the depot, in which be
was standing at tho time. Another fireman,
named Albert Tonison, was buried beneath
a bouse at Camak, but fortunately crawled out
ithout being injured further than receiving
a few bruises.
At the time the train passed Camak it was
thought there were two negroes buried be
neath tbe mins of tbe depot bnilding.
AT THOMPSON
it was said that nine persons were killed, the
names as far as known being noted as follows:
John Stovall and wife. Mr. Benson, three chil
dren of J. E. Benton, and two negroes. Tbe
others said to have been killed were not re
ported.
Tbe train of the Georgia Railroad made a
most narrow escape by not arriving in time to
be caught in tbe storm.
AUGUSTA
received a touch of the tornado, a heavy rain
falling here about two p. m., wbicb flooded
the streets. There was an unusual amount of
water fell at this time, although tbe heavy
rain continued but about twenty minutes.
THE SECOND STORM OF BAIN.
About 4 p. in., another storm of rain, accom
panied with ball, as in the first instance, oc
curred, and again flooded the streets. On the
South Commons there appeared to be a per
fect sheet of water, while the streets lu tbe
oity were generally, flooded. _ Many ef tbe
