Hon. John H. Janies.
Wo copy from tho Sunny South a biographi
cal sketch of the Hon. John H. James, of At
lanta, to be found on our first page. As this
gentleman has boon named as a candidate for
Governor, trar readers may feel some cariosity
in knowing who bo is.
The other gentlemen named in this connec
tion are Col. Tom Hardeman, Gen. Colquitt,
Gen. Gartrell, Hon. James M. Smith, the
present incumbent, Col. Baoon, Col. Ander
son, and perbaps half a dozen more whose
names we do not at this moment call to mind
As four of these gentlemen reside in or near
Atlanta, it will bo seen that that prosperous
village is always ready for any emergency
A Near Volume of Poems.
Wo are pleasod to learn that Messrs. E. J.
Dale & Son, of New York, have now in press
and will issuo during tho first week in May, a
new volume of poems, from the pen of that
gifted Southern poet, Paul H. Hayne, Esq.,
entitled “ The Mountain of the Lovers, with
Pooms of Naturejand Tradition.”
Mr. Hayne has distinguished himself as a
poet, and we look with interest for the ap
pearance of the forthcoming volume. The au
thor and publishers are all Carolinians—Mr.
Hayne being a native of South Carolina, and
the publishers bailing from the “ old North
Stato,” where Mr. E. J. Halo was long and
favorably known as editor of the Fayetteville
Observer.

IV In giving some account of the
ing bee” here, the Atlanta News says:
“ Christy, of the Watchman, exploded on

rinth." A schoolboy named Noble was the
victor.”
The Christy referred to is a junior, and did
not “explode” on anything until abont the
end of the show. He would not have “ ex
ploded" then, bad it not been for the abomi
nablo spelling of each papers as tho News,
which, in the extract above, omits an “ h,'
E. J. C. did. We stood “ head” in an old
field school too long not to know how to spell
J naphtha.”

The Atlanta editors conld not be induced
to believe that it waMpossibie that Bell would
dovelop greater strength in the Convention
than Hill; and, henco, when receiving dis
patches to this effect,;they?discredited them
One of thorn sent us a dispatch requesting the
latest news, which we sent over the wires
without ainote of comment. It was published

The Next Presidential Race.
Some of our cotemporaries are entertaining
needless apprehensions, it strikes us, in refer
ence to the next Presidential race. They are
▼ery clamorous for a straight-out Democrat.
If they had said nothing about it, there would
be no proposition, to select any other sort of
mau for the position, and we do not believe
ances.
t hero will be any serious attempt to do so as it
is, notwithstanding their imprudent utter-
It is a conceded point that there are not
enough straigbt-ont Democrats to defeat
Grant. To do so, we must have help from
somo other quarter. The only hope of any
large accessions is from the Liberal Republi
cans. Having yielded to them in 1872, by
adopting Greeley, tbelr candidate, of conrse
they will now gracefully yield to their allies
the honor of selecting a candidate. This is
precisely where tho Greeley movement has
proved beneficial. It convinced the Liberals
of the North and West that we really desire
peace—that we would sacrifice our long cher
ished prejudices in an earnest effort to close
the “ bloody chasm” and re-establish peace
and concord between the sections. It was
dis spirit of liberality which secured the co-
operaation aud won the confidence of the
thousands who assisted Democracy in achiev
ing the splendid victories last autumn. It is
this which will secure their continued aid.
Having furnished the Presidential candi
date at the last election, they will, of course,
expect us to name him now. Much depends
upon getting the right sort of man; and not on
ly so but be should be a Western man—one who
will not drive off any voters. The Vice Presi
dent should be from the Middle, Eastern or
Northern Stales. Gen. Gordon is perfectly
right in sayiug that no Southern mau should
now seek the positiou.
We are as much in favor of baviBg a sound
Democrat for President as any of our cotom
poraries, but do not believe there is any rea
son for apprehension in that regard—as there
will hardly be an effort to nominate any body
Iso. We yielded bofore—our allies will, of
course, do so now.

Gainesville Convention.
Wo have carefully abstained from having
anything to do with tbo scramble—feeling
perfectly twilling to support oitber of tbo dis
tinguished gentlemen before tbe Convention,
and being desirous that tbe people .sbonld se
lect tbe man of their choice as tboir standard-
bearer. The request of judicious friends that
we should preserve strict neutrality was in
perfect accordance with our own convictions
of duty, under tbo circumstances. Not hav
ing mingled in tbe.Ecramblc, we can accord
a hearty support to whichever of the two dis
tinguished contestants receives tbe nomina
tion, provided it shall be fairly made.
Wbat is a Bonanza 1
Since tbe publication of onr story concern
ing tbe supposed silver mino in Banks county,
we have been repeatedly asked, “ What Is
bonanza f” It being a Spanish word, we
do not pretend to be well posted on tbe sob
ject, but the New Orleans Picayune says it is
a “ boon,” or 11 #reo gift.” Spanish America
conferred tbe word upon ns, and Nevada ac
cepts tbe “free gift,” as illnstrative of tbe
treasures of silver with which her mountains
abound. When a vein of remarkably rich ore
is found in unexpected places running not
in tbe predicted direction in which well con
ducted ore ought to ran but diagonally
tbrongb several mines, this is oalled a bonan
za. It comes as a boon and a boon it is named
in tbo sonorous syllables of tbs Castilian
tongue. _
School of Industry.
Tho Richmond (Va.) Enquiaer says that a
number of leading colored men have in con
templation tbe establishment of a colored
school of industry iu that city. Tbe plan bas
been fully matured, and the work is to bo be
gun upon at once. Tbe object is to reclaim
tbe idle colored youth from tho streets, and
make them usoful members of society by in
structing them in tbe mechanic arts. They
will have workshops, and carryout a general
system of diversified labor, hoping in tho end
to make their institution self-snstaining.
This is a good idea. We hope it will be
utilized here. Old Isaac Watts was eminent
ly correct when ho said “ the devil finds mis
chief for Idle hands to do.” It is as trae in
regard to negroes as white folks, and if the
Idle little vagabonds were pat to work, they
wonld havo no time to maim cows and other
domestic animals.
Shooting an Editcs—J. It. Christian, ed
itor of the Sparta Times <b Planter, was shot on
Monday of last week by a Mr. F. A. Butte—
Butts went into Mr. Christian’s office and in
sulted him, whereupon Christian knocked him
down. Bntts arose, and, drawing a pistol,
shot Christian through the arm. A warrant
bas been issued for the arrest of Butts.
A Blunder.
The Atlanta Herald is badly mistaken in
saying that N. P. Banks was elected to tho
Speakership of tbe U. S. Honsoof Representa
tives by a “majority vote, after it was fonnd
that no man conld obtain tho requisite two-
thirds.” A majority vote was all that wai
necessary, and do man eould obtain tk«t—
there being a triangular contest. To relieve
tbe dead-lock, a resolution was adopted to
elect by plurality. At least, this is our rocollec-
tlon of tbo matter. We have not time now to
bant up tbe documents.
Attempted Bribery.
Tbe Sheriff of a county above bare informed
us lately, that a certain editor in a' neighbor
log county bad offered to advertise bis sales
free of cost, if be wonld change them from tbe
Watchman to bis paper. Tbe Sheriff, who is
a high-toned gcntloman, indignantly spurned
tbs offer.
What do our brethren of tho Press Associa-
think of such conduct ?

The Savannah News says : “ It is rumored
that Col. J. H. Christy, of the Athens Watch
man, is negotiating for the purchase of the An

says . •• A rumor prevails in Augnsta that
Col. Christy, of tbe Athens Watchman, Intends
purchasing the August a Constitutionalist."
We know nothing of the troth or falsity of
these reports, and copy them from other jour
nals simply as matters of nows. Col. Christy

our business. The statement, though not
strictly correct, is net entirely without founds

Tbe Great Bonanza.
Sinco our last paper was issued, we have re
ceived a report from tbo chemical laboratory
connected with tho University, to tbe effect
that tbe sampio exhibited does not contain
particle of silver!
It is dne to Capt. Alexander to say, in this
connection, that most of tbe facts in reference
to this matter were obtained from other par
ties—as we bad only a very brief interview
with him just as we were about to leave Ho
mer. We saw a portion of tbe skeleton, sup
posed, from the trinkets buried with it, to be
that of an Indian. There is no sort of mis.
tako about tbe quantity of mineral found ; wo
regret that it falls short of public expectation
in quality. In other words, we are very sorry
that it is not silver.

The Ninth District Convention.
This section of tbo State has been in a per
fect ferment for a week past over the ballot
ing which bas been going on at Gainesville
sinco Wednesday last, between tbe friends of
Hon. B. H. Hill on one side and those of
Hon. H. P. Bell on tbe other. ’
Tbe Convention was organised by the elec
tion of Hon. W. E. Simmons os President and
W. Rucker, Esq. as Secretary.
On tbs first ballot, tbe vote stood: Bell. 33;
Hill, 28. Gilmer county not voting. It ap
pears that two 6ets of delegates bad been ap
pointed from this county—the first delegation
being for Hill and tbo seoond tor Bell. Nei
ther delegation appeared in person, but the
Ball delegates sent a proxy—Dr. Watkins. A
question arose as to tbe vote of this county.
It was submitted to a committee, who report
ed that tbe proxy might vote if he would di
vide it between Hill and Bell. This Dr. Wat
kins declined to do, and Gilmer is conse
quently left out.
Tbe balloting continued, with very little
variation all tbrongb the day, lnclading the
night session. It was resumed and continued
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, without
effecting a Domination.
On Satarday, the Convention adjourned
over until 2 o’clock Monday. Our Gaines
ville correspondent—whose letter will be found
in another column—promises to telegraph ns
the latest news before going to press; which,
if received in time, will be fonnd under the
appropriate head.
The highest vote received by Hill was 30,
and tbe highest nnmber Bell received was 37.
It requires forty-oue votes to give the requi
site two-thirds majority.
Tbe delegatee have exhibited a wonderful
degree of perseverance, patience or etubborh-
noss, we ecaroely know wbiob. The “ dead
look” might have been terminated long ago
by selecting a third mao. The people are
not half so much interested in this contest as
great maBB of the voters will bs satisfied with
any man of respectable ability, la whose In
tegrlty they have confidence. The excitement
is among outsiders aud hungry expectants.
