jlottthemtfate&man. Athens, Gra. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 24, 1875. Largest Circulation! READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. County Meetings To appoint delegates to the Congressional convention, bare been called os follows : Banks, at Homer on the 6th of April. Hall, at Gainesville, on the first Tuesday in 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 delegates to tbe Gainesville Convention. 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. “Honor amt wealth from o condition rise, Ait well your part—there all the fiouor lies." 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 week. It camo to band too late lor our pres cut issue. 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.” Pinchback. ••V M c ” a correspondent of the Atlanta JlerakL save that the notorious Pinchback. the stop dat knockin’ at de door «****£: was bo’rp to P»hlbnwn, and ° llW AgreftAii wlilte man. 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. The Next Presidency.

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, approved. n EORGIA, Walton county.

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, “I**** 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 To prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors after April so, 1875 r I The tuxes embraced within the provisions of th u and near tbe village of Carsouville, lay lor above quole< j # arc the following, viz: Rectifiers $200 00 .
