will be a plentiful supply of goods of every
kind. The average Elbert merchant is not
a whit behind his compeers anywhere.

THE CHICAGO AND SAVANNAH RAIL
ROAD.
We have been handed the following for
publication :
Monticello, Ind., March 6th, 1873.
Mr. D. A. Mathews, Elberton, Ga.
Dear Sir : Your favor of the 28th ult.
has just come to hand. I have also just
received a letter from Mr. Foley, of Grcens
burg Ind., calling my attention to your sug
gestion with regard to holding a railroad
convention in Indianapolis in May next, at
the time the National Agricultural Conven
tion wi*l be held there. I think your sug
gestion is a very good one, provided it will
not conflict with other arrangements. I
have been informed by Mr. Foley that it has
been proposed to hold a railroad convention
in the advocacy of this enterprise at Augus
ta, Ga , about the 10th of May. It would,
in my opinion, not be good policy to hold
two conventions for the same purpose so
nearly at the same time. There should be
an interval I think, of a few weeks between
these meetings. I hope if two meetings are
to be held that due consideration will be ob
served in arranging the times and places for
holding them. How would it do to hold
the first meeting at Knoxville, Tenn., say
about the middle of April, and the next at
Indianapolis, as you huve suggested ? Del
egates from Georgia and the Carolinas would
have but little difficulty in going to Knox
ville, while it would be more convenient
than Augusta for Northern delegates.
Probably it would be better to have only
one general convention of the entire line,
and let it be held at Indianapolis at the time
of the National Agricultural Convention,
and in the meantime have meetings called
in all the towns and cities along the pro
posed route, for the purpose of choosing
delegates and eliciting such information as
may he essential to the cause. lam of the
opinion that it would be better to hold one
large, enthusiastic convention, of able and
determined delegates, than two or even more
conventions with only a feeble or partial rep
resentation of the line. 1 offer these re
marks only as suggestions, hoping that you
will sound the feeling of your people on this
matter, and let me know the result as soou
as circumstances will admit.
I favor your proposition lor a consolida,
tion of the various links of the great line
but I think we will not be able to accom
plish it so early a? May, though if the rail
road convention, as you have suggested, be
held in Indianapolis, resolutions in favor of
such consolidation should he passed, or at
least brought before the delegates.
Hoping to hear from you soon,
I remain, yours,
W. S. Raymond.
More “Georgia Scenes.”—“Bill Arp”
will write another book, and it will be illus
trated by a famous Georgia cartoonist. Says
the Atlanta Herald ;
The lovers of the humorous and the
friends of Southern literature, will be glad
to learn that Bill Arp, (Chas. H. Smith, of
Rome,) is now preparing anew volume for
the press. It is anticipated that the new
letters will be even more successful than the
firrt, embalming, as they do, genuine hu
mor, that is humor because of its humorous
essense, and not mere passing phases of a
people’s prejudice or passion.
There will be a rich lecture on “What
I Know About Pigs’ Wool and Snaix
Hair.”
This lecture will be one of the most ex
cellent prodjuotions of the day, and only
rivalled by his “Sermons” on doctrinal
points as “Where the Devil Was at the
Time of the Flood,’etc. Another point in
the coming book is the visit of an up-coun
try “sixteen horse power Baptist preacher”
to Charleston, and his adventures there
in.
The book will be handsomely illustrated
by a Georgia Cartoonist who has shown re
markable genius in this direction, and alto
gether may be looked for as one of the most
remarkable and successful volumes of the
period.
It appears, says the Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Sun, in his letter
tf Friday, that there is an awkward hitch
about the extra pay business. The amount
called for by the back pay voted by mem
bers of Congress to themselves is some
$1,600,000. Scrgeant-at-Arms Ordway, of
the House, went up to the Treasury to-day
to draw the money, but Mr. Taylor, the
first Comptroller of the Treasury, declined
to draw the warrant for the money. /The
section purporting to appropriate the money
required is very clumsily worded, and Mr.
Taylor holds that it is susceptible of sever
al constructions and for this reason he
does not feel justifi and in drawing so large
n amount from the Treasury.
New Hampshire Election. —Returds
from 141 townships show a net loss for the
Republicans of about 900. There is a prob
ability of no election of Governor by the
people. No figures on Congressional vote
can be given, as they have not been return
ed. Democratic candidates are undoubted
ly elected from each of the three districts—
E. A. Hibbard from the first, Samuel N.
Bell from the second, and K. W. Parker
from the third. In the Legislature the
Republicans will have a strong majority,
and also a majority in the Senate and Coun
cil.
Returns from 145 towns give Straw (Re
publican), 27,475; Weston (Democrat),
24,459; Blackman, 864; Mason 503—Re
publican gain 1,002; Republican loss,
1,937. The remaining ninety towns gave
last year, Straw, 7,488; Weston, 9,058. —
This defeats a choice by the people.
In the city election John Kimball was
re elected Mayor by a large majority.
Governor Smith offers a reward of two
hundred and fifty dollars for the arrest and
delivery to the Sheriff of Forsyth county
of William J. Bone, who murdered Thom
as J. Burton, in that county, on the Ist of
March.
