Athens, Ga. 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 In this con test between Democrats—the avowed Radical candidate having withdrawn—it is important to avoid a split in the party as future succcess depends upon unity of action.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 Take Warning:!

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. ..The Southern Baptist Convention will meet at Charleston in Citadel Baptist church to-dsy, and will comprise over foar hundred of tbe most intelligent and representative min isters and laymen of that denomination at tbe South.

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.
