WEDNESDAY MORNING, HAY 6, 1875.
Largest Circulatio:
BEADING MATTER ON EVERY
l'he Lost Appeal.
Being leaned on the day of election, we hare
no idea that any thing we may eay will influ
enee a aingle voter—more especially as com
paratlvely few of them will see onr paper be
fore voting.
Instead of frantically appealing to the vot
ers to support this or that man, therefore, we
shall be content with expressing the hope that
all will unite In an earnest effort to elect that
man whom they believe can best “ illustrate
Georgia” in the halls of legislation—regard
less of all sectional animosities or past differ
ences. Let them do this and we shall be
satisfied. And above all, let every voter so
act as to leave no sting behind. In this con
test between Democrats—the avowed Radical
candidate having withdrawn—it is important
to avoid a split in the party as future succcess
depends upon unity of action. Above all
things, “ Let us bate peace!”
Gainesville Scutbron Revived.
“ The Southron,” at Gainesville, which had
been snspened for sometime past, was revived
last week by new proprietors, the editorial
control being confided to Mr. \V. F. Findley.
The Southron has declared f sr Ben Hill, al
though Gen. Findley, the father of the editor,
is a Radical candidate for Congress in this
District. Billy is a clever young man, and
adheres to principle. Here is what he says
about the matter:
“ On the eve of going to press we learn
that Mr. J. J. Findley, of Hall county, has
announced himself a candidate for Congress.
This places us in an awkward position. While
we have at our mast-head the name of Hon.
B. H. Bill, and desire to see him in Congress,
we have that filial affection which should
characterise every son toward his father, yet
we can not give him our support. Wo have
ever differed with him in politics, and regret
to oppose him in his race. As matters now
stand, we are the worst mixed up man in the
whole country. To advocate the claims of
Mr. Hill on one side, and oppose our father on
the other, is not an enviable position. Would
that it were not so; but as we have espoused
Mr. Hill’s cause, we will stand by him to the
end.”
Quadrangular.
When last week we announced the fight in
this District as triangular, we were perfectly
correct—there being three candidates in tbe
field. The figure has changed sinoe that
time—Gen. Findley having declared himself
a candidate. Gen. F. is said to be a Republi
can, and we are sorry toseeourold command
er in that party. Tbe only military appoint
meat we ever bad, we received at his hands
when we were quartermaster of bis famous
brigade, which, when it reported to Gen. Rey
nolds, consisted entirely of officers and “ nary
private." _______
Libel Suit.
Tbe late libel suit in Charleston has at
tracted much attention every where. Tbe
propilstors of the Netcs <t Courier were indict
ed by the notorious Bowen in some seven or
eight cases for libel—the indictments being
founded on charges of bigamy, forgery, elec
tion frauds and instigating forgery. Thb fel
low Bowen, it will be remembered, was elect
ed to Congress by tue negroes some few years
ago, found guiity of bigamy and pardoned by
the President. He is now sheriff of Charles
ton. Tbe trial occupied several days and tbe
jury failed to agree—eleven being in favor of
finding a verdict of not guilty and one for
conviction. The latter juror did not belong
to the original panel.
As badly as South Carolina is misgoverned
it seems that there is still some regard paid
to law and justice. If the authorities will now
indict Bowen for tbe crimes alleged against
him on the trial, it will give the people some
hope of an honest administration of justice.
MEMORIAL DAY _
Was generally observed throughout the State
on the 36th ult. At no plaoe were the cere
monies more imposing than at Augusta, where
tbe corner-stone of the Confederate monument
to be erected by the Ladies' Memorial Asso
ciation was laid, with appropriate honors
Gen. Evans, who stands as high as a “ soldier
of the Cross” as he did in the Confederate ser
vice, delivered a beautiful oration, which was
published in the Augnsta papers. The exer
cises were concluded by decorating the graves
of tbe Confederate and Federal soldiers in tbe
cemetery.
The noble words uttered by Gen. Evans on
the occasion, like those uttered by Gen. Bart
lett in Massachusetts, have thrilled tbe na
tional heart, and there is, at last, some rea
sonable hope of a return of fraternal feelings.
Tbe New York Tribune commented as follows
“ Whatever the politicians may be abont. it
is very clear that tbe soldiers of the late war
are drawing nearer together. Tbe maguani
moos and patriotic ntteranoe of the Union
General Bartlett at Lexington, find a fitting
response in tbe loyal and patriotic remarks
made yesterday by ex-Confederate General
Evans, at Augusta, Georgia. When such
words as those of Gen. Evans are received
with favor by an audience of ex-Conrcderatea,
we can have no fear that tbe people of tbe
South have not resumed their devotion to tbe
flag and their loyalty to the Union. And w hat
better evidence of good faith and — -noer, of
good intention could they give than the deco
ration of tbe graves of the Union dead, who
lie side by aide with dead of tbetr own army t"
The Philadelphia Zlmetsaya: "Tbo response
by Gen. Evans, of the Southern army, to tbe
sentiments of Gen. Bartlett, of the Union, at
Augusta, on Monday, matches the generous
declarations of tbe latter, and proves—if any
proof were needed—that the only persons who
desire to re-open and perpetuate the quarrel
are tbe soldiers who fight from behind paper
ramparts, and with pens which maybofea
there from their own caps.”
The Richmond Whig says the spirit of the
noble speech of Geo. Bartlett -%t the Conoord-
Lexipgton celebration was fitly responded to
by Gen. Evans, at Angosta. Georgia, on Me
morial Day, when the corner-stone of a Con
federate monument was laid. Gen. Bartlett,
a Union officer in the war, spoke in hie native
Massachusetts, to a vast concourse of New
Let ns Have Peace.
The election takes place to-day, and, al-
ongh the Gainesville Convention could not
agree upon a candidate, tbe people of tbe Dis
trict will, nodonbt, select as Representative in
Congress some one of tbe three Democrats now
before them.
course, we do not know who will be sa
ted ; but whoever it may be, “ let us have
i” after the election. The supreme crisis
be upon us. Tbe Cresidential elec
comes off eighteen mon tbs hence. If our
free institutions are to be preserved, the Rod
ical party must then be overthrown. Four
nore years of misrule will forever destroy ail
vestige of free government. Hence it is that
so said last week, and repeat again, “ The
success of the Democratic party is vastly more
important than that of any man.” To insure
success, perfect unity is necessary. There
must be no bickerings—no heart burnings. A
united front must be presented to tbo enemy
every where. This being the strongest Dem
ocratic district in tbe State—and we base this
claim upon tbe fact that there are fewer white
Radicals in it than in any other one—it is ex
ceedingly important to present an unbroken
front here. The election of a Democratic
President in 1876 may depend upon it.
In view of tbe importance of these consid
erations, we beg our friends throughout tho
District to banish from their minds all un
pleasant thoughts connected with the contest
which closes to-day. Let tbe past be buried ;
ind by all means let all sectional animosities
Whatever may have boon the irregu
larities of that most remarkable Gainesville
Convention—and both parties complain of it
let them be forgotten, and let all true Demo
crats buckle on their armor and propare for
the great contest of 1876, which most decide
he fato of American liberty.
We are aware that it is much easier to give
advice sometimes than to follow it. Our
intontion is to strictly follow the advice we
have volunteered to giro to others, and hence
we forbear from reviewing tbe action of the
convention, as we have done on former occa
sions—for the good of the country.
Another Cyclone.
Reports have reached this place of another
cyclone, which passed over a portion of the
State on Saturday afternoon. The first we
bear of it is at Rutledge, on the Georgia rail
road—where, it is reported, many house were
blown down and several persons killed and
wounded.
We understand it passed over the plants
tion of M. M. Sheets, Esq., of this county,
damaging his dweUiog-bouse, fencing, &c.
It» reported that four lives were lost in tbe
Fork” neighborhood and much damage done
to property.
A rumor reached here Monday morning that
much damage bad been done at or near
Maxey’s, on tbe Athens branch, three lives
lost and several persons wounded.
Here no damage was done. Some of our
citizens observed leaves, email twigs, tco., fall
icg in their yards and gardens, after the storm,
which gave rise to tbe opinion that there had
been a tornado somewhere.
Is this a Free FlghtT Then Count Me Ont!”
Finding a “ free fight” going on. Col. Find
ley said, •• Count me in.” Ascertaining that
the renowned “ Potash” was against him, he
then exclaimed, “ Count me out I” as follows:
To the Voters of the Ninth Congressional District:
Gainesville, Ga., April 30,1875.
A few days ago 1 announced myself an in
dependent candidate for Congress, and bad
high hopes and assurances of success, both
from Conservative Democrats and Republi
cans. But I have to-day learned of a regular
league between Henry P. Farrow and Wm.
P. Price, to defeat me and elect Price, by giv
ing him tbe Republican vote, and the election
is now so close at hand that it wilt bo impos
sible for me to counteract and thwart tbe in
sidious movement. I am satisfied that this
league has existed lor over two years, and I
have made various offorts to draw it out, but
without success, until now. They have de
layed the blow until the last hour, and stab
bed me in the back at last, as cowards always
do. Tbe Republican vote has been promised
to Price, and the letters are now going all
over tbe District to induce tbe Repablicans to
vote for him.
Under these circumstances I now withdraw
from tbe canvass, and am no longer a candi
date. But I implore the Republicans of this
District, and my Democratic friends, not to
become parties to this league by voting for
Price. He runs as an independent Democrat,
while Farrow comes in at the last hour, and
attempts to foist him upon the Republicans.
The trick is now exposed, and Farrow and
Price are uncovered at last. Behold thesweet
couple!
They contemplated tbe same game upon
Judge O'Neal, and did give him tbe cold shoul
der, bnt Farrow took a fright for fear of bis
own removal from office. Is this coalition be
tween Farrow and Price the result of the civil
rights bill, or is it merely social equality f Don’t
all speak at once.
I deeply regret that leading Republicans in
Savannah for whom I have the highest re
gard, have been duped into this snare by Far
row. These gentlemen will see, when the
voto is counted next week, that Pric% is a de
funct Democrat even in his own county, and
therefore of no more use to tbe Republican
party than Greeley was to tbe Democracy.
Price may slide through this District as a De
mocrat, and Farrow may write letters to all
tbe leading Radicals in this District and tbe
gentlemen in tbe Custom House and Post Of
fice at Savannah may suffer themselves used
as a cat's paw. but “ murder will out,” and
tbe elephant Price will be left a dead carcase
on tbe hands of tbe United States District At
torney, and the stench of the carcass will as
ceBd to Washington city.
And now, in conclusion, I tender my thanks
to my friends who have been at work for me,
and earnestly beg that no Republican in the
Distriot will suffer himself sold out to Price in
such a contemptible manner, and with no
prospect of present or future good.
With high regards,
I am your obedient servant,
J. J. Findley.
Judge O'Neal also publishes a card te the
voters, making similar charges of Coalition
It is due to Col. Price to say, that sinoe the
foregoing was put in type, he assures us that
there is not one word of truth in the allega
tion that there has been any correspondence
between him and the Radical leaders on tbe
subject referred to. nor by any of his friends,
so far as he knows; and Amber, that he be
lieves tbe Radicals will divide their votes be
tween the three Democratic candidates.
For the Sonthorn Watchmen.
The Duck town Copper Hines.
On tbe 17th of April, we left this busy, bust
ling, mining region, which is already stript of
its forests of timber for twenty mites around
and generally covered by a dense clond ol
smoke from numerous furnaces, loaded with
sulphuretted hydrogen and other gases, for
Gootgia, in a cold Norther, tbe ground frozen
and the thermometer at 30°. Being tired and
foot-sore from a rough travel of 150 miles, du
ring tbe past week; we thought it prudent to
take some stimulus, and accordingly called at
the “Company’s Store” and asked for a bottle
of “ Hostetter’s Bitters,” but was told no spirr-
its of any kind could be had nearer than Gaines
ville. Being incredulous, we went to the Dr’s
office, but his stock was exhausted; the Capt.
then told us there was but one remaining
chance, to go over to North Carolina, and we
would find a roof doctor who kept a little to
mix his medicine. We went and happily got
a quart, as a preventive of pneumonia. Not
like Bishop Onderdonk of New York, who had
an inward disease, which all tbe doctors of
America and Europe, bad failed to locate.
When one of bis friends advised him to try a
glass of brandy once a day. which be did, and
was at once relieved. But in a few mouths,
the tongues of scandal began so circulate bad
reports, and be was arraigned for trial. He
plead his own case. He told them bis physi
cian had recommended it, and every time be
took a glass, it went right to the place! He was
acqutted, and a better man never lived. In
our case we walked faster, having tbe wind
on our back and measured over 30 miles a day,
instead of 30, in splto of the blood blistors on
our feet. On tbe 19th, we reached Dablone-
ga, and visited Col. Hand A Co's, splendid
geld mills, which are just finished, and capa
ble of reducing 100 tons per day of ores, worth
from $5 to $10 per ton. The company’s pro
perty is not only extensive, bat rich. They
have expended qver $100,000 in preparing it
and in three months will have brought tbe
river, in a canal, for 30 miles, which will fur
nish hydraulic power, 300 feet above the river
and creek levels, equal to cover 20,000 acres
of gold mining land, in tbe centre of the belt.
Tbe surface, or placer washings will pay good
dividends, exclusive of inexhaustible ore beds
which will be uncovered and not cost a cent.
Tbe work is carried on, in tbe most systematic
manner, by practical men, who possess indom
itable energy and perseverance and will cer
tainly succeed. In addition to all this they
will occasionally find a “ bonanza,” or rich
lode, which will yield a fortune a day.
We are glad to see and chronicle tho sue
cess of legitimate miners, who not only enrich
themselves, but the country. Not like “ fan
cy stock” speculators who wear tbe motto of
'* everything to gain and nothing to lose,” and
have been a withering blight on our country
for a score of years. New York and Boston
have been the focus of this damning ring
which we are thankful to know has had its
day. M. S,
Judge Kelly Recauts.
Washington, April 30 Judge Wm. D.
Kelly, of Pennsylvania, returned from a Six
week's tour in tbe South to-day, and bears
most emphatic testimony against the Southern
policy of bis own party in the last Congress.
When asked to-night what he thought of the
political condition of tbe South, be ottered
these words: “ The vote which I most regret
during my fourteen years* service in Congress,
is that which I cast last winter in favor of the
force bill.” He further said that so far as his
observation went, during his extended tour,
there was no more necessity for the use of Fed
oral military force than there is in Pennsylva
nia or Ohio. He talked with Confederate sol
diers, with Northern men, negroes, carpet
baggers and travelers, and was surprised at
the good feeling existing. He said he should
hereafter take little stock in Southern outrages,
especially if they are reported as occurring in
sections he visited. He gave an example of
the feeling in tbe South, by relating what lie
saw in Augusta, being himself unknown. He
happened to be in that city on tho day chosen
for decorating the graves of the Confederate
dead. He remained and observed closely tbo
proceedings. A long procession marched
through tbe city, with engines, civic orgauiza-
tions, etc., it being treated as a general holi
day. Judge Kelley observed tbe significant
fact that while men and women were gathered
for the purpose of paying a tribute to tbe me
mory of dead Confederate soldiers, the princi
pal music on tho occasion was furnished by a
band belonging to a regular United States in
fantry regiment, stationed in tbe vicinity.
There were no taunts, no insults, no com
plaints, no appearance of ill-feeling anywhere
visible. While absent, Judge Kelly spent from
two days to a week in each of the followiug
cities, stopping frequently at places of less con
sequence, viz: Richmond, Charlotte, Colum
bia. Savannah, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Augus
ta and Aiken. Tbe most of his time was spent
in Florida. He says so far as he saw, and be

Beer! Beer!
Tbe Macon Telegraph <t Messenger, of a late
date, complains lustily over the scarcity of beef
in that market—says East Tennessee has been
eaten bare and that “all the counties contigu
ous to Bibb have been stripped down to fence-
corner meats. There is some beef in tbe wire
grass ranges, but it will not get strong enough
to come up and be killed, until it baa foraged
a month or two on the yonng grass of tbe pine
barrens.”
Tbe complaint of scarcity of beef and every
thing else is not confined to Macon alone. All
over tbe cotton States tbe trouble exists, and
will increase unless tbe “all cotton policy
shall be abandoned. Right here, on what was
formerly tbe dividing line between the cotton
and grain-growing regions, good bfeef is scarce,
poultry is scarce, butter is scarce—every thing
edible is scarce, except bacon, floor and corn
meal; and they, ton, would be scarce, if we
depended jpon onr borne market for a supply
Instead of supplying these things, as they
should, onr farmers are purchasers themselves.
This policy is all wrong. There is not
place in9orth America, ontoide of Texas and
California, where beef and mutton can be so
cheaply produced as in this section of Georgia,
if onr people would only devote a little atten
tion to tbe matter. A gentleman from East
Tennessee, who is now located near this city,
has repeatedly assured us that there is more
profit in stock-raising bore, if properly man
aged, than on the rich lands of that section
Our winters are short and mild, and, by bav-
ing rye and barley pastures, cane-brakes, tur
nip patches, dec-, it requires very little forage
to winter stock; while, in more rigoroas cli
mates, tbe expense of wintering is very heavy.
We beard Gen. Toombs state tbe case in a
strong light a few days ago. Referring to a
dispute be bad with a Massachusetts Con
gressman some years ago, be said that in reply
to tbe remark that tbe bay crop of Massachu
setts was worth more than the cotton crop of
Georgia, be stated that the cotton crop, when
sold, brought millions of money into the coan-
try, bnt bow is it with yonr bay f Yon have
none to supply foreign markets, even if there
is a demand for it—you consequently feed it to
yonr cattle, which have to be fed six or eight
months of tbe year. The little stump-tail bul,
which is in pretty good order when frost comesl
is pat up and fed on hay until May or Jane.
You have three tons of bsy, worth fifteen or
twenty dollars, when yon pnt him op. When
he is tamed ont yonr bay is ail gone, and no
thing to show for it bnt that same little ball,
not near so fat as at the beginning.
Notwithstanding tbe difficulties in tbe way,
the Eastern and Western farmers make beef
in abundance; while we, who are blessed with
a mild climate and all tbe conditions necessary
to insure success, find beef, mutton, poultry,
and every thing else, exoept cotton, scarce!
Will not onr agricultural friends adopt a dif
ferent policy f Wbat is cotton worth, when
we have to buy every thing we use, at exorbi
tant prices!
So far as our local market is concerned, we
believe beef is now scarce, bnt tbe quality of
tbe article furnished during tbe past twelve
months bas certainly been a great improve
ment on former days. We have bad generally
a very fair article of beef. With tbe facilities
of cheap production, it onght to be abundant
and first-rate.

went with his eyes and ears open, there was
no fooling of fear or distrust on tbe part of tbe
colored people, and he could not for tbe life of
him see what nse there was for force bills. He
was very glad to bare made the trip, for it
bas enabled him to understand tbe condition
of tbe South better than he has ever under
stood it before. He eaid it was not the Ku-
Klux that was raiding tbe South, nor was their
unhappy condition to be attributed to hatred
by the Southern people or by tbe people of the
North, nor was any political question involved.
He thinks tbe whole trouble in tbe South arises
from the finaucial and industrial causes, and
be believes that the South will not improve
and advance until the Forty-fourth Congress
repeals the financial legislation of the .Forty-
third. Until the industries of tbe country are
ruined and we are forced to live within our in
come, the South will grow worse instead of
better. As matters are going now, tbo Judge
thinks not only that the South aud Southwest
will be involved in rain, but that the whole
country will bo hopelessly insolvent. The
treasury, he thinks, is already empty. Work
is stopping in tbe navy yards, and on public
works, buildings, etc., for the money has run
out. Tbe receipts are not equal to the ex
penditures, and a day of settlement is not far
off. He was asked how long tbe treasury
would hold out! and he answered that unloss
there is an improvement in the customs and
internal revouue receipts, the treasury will be
empty by September next. Judge Kelly called

the promissory notes theroin, and thereby intended to
bo secured as aforesaid, with full authority to receive
au i receipt fur the same, and to tako all legal steps
tainiog any new information from tbe Secre- | in the premises that he, the said Alfred Grant, could
tary. Tbe Judge asked bim bow soon be was
to begin to buy currency again. Tbe Secre
tary did not seom to like that way of stating
it, but was told by tho Judge that- he
thought be bad used tbe right time. He did
not think that be was selling gold, but buying
currency, which is necessary for daily ase. He
told tbe Secretary that the South, tbe West
and tbe whole country would never recover
when tbe effort was being made to bring about
specie payments by contracting the currency.
The Ueorgla Railroad.
We understand that Judge John P. King,
who has for so many years faithfully and ably
managed the affairs of tbe Georgia Railroad
and Banking Company, has determined not to
be a candidate for re election. Judge King
bas attempted several times, since be placed
tbo road on a firm footing after tbe war, to re
tire, but tbe stockholders would never consent
to dispense with bis services. This year, how
ever, we are told that he is firm in bis deter
mination— that his resignation will be tendered
and insisted upon.
If this be true, bis successor will have to be
chosen, and an interesting time may be expect
ed when the stockholders of the Company as
semble in Convention next month. We have
heard the names of three gentlemen mentioned
in connection with this position—Maj. George
T. Jackson, of Augusta, Judge Wm. M. Reese,
of Washington, and Mr. C. H. Phinizy, of Au
gusta. All of these gentlemen are members of
tbe present Board of Directors. It also seems
to bs generally understood that tbe venerable
T. J. Burney, of Madison, will retire from tbe
Board, and tbe friends of several well-known
gentlemen will press them for tbe vacant posi
tion in tbe Directory—assuming that all the
old Directors will be re-elected.—Chronicle it

. .The present rage for spelling schools re
vives an anecdote of Gen. Scott. He had
drawn up the rough draft of an order in which
the word ‘ wagon’ occurred. Tbe Gen’!, in
serted one * g’ too many, and his clerk on dis
covering it timidly asked on what authority
be spelled * wagon’ with two ‘ gs.’ * On the
authority of Lieutenant-General Scott, com
manding the' armies of tbe United States, sir,’
thundered the pompous old General. Tbe
clerk, at least, thought the authority sufficient.
