Our Merchants. —The merchants gen erally, throughout the county, have gone, or are preparing to go, for their spring goods. From indications we presume there will be a plentiful supply of goods of every kind. The average Elbert merchant is not a whit behind his compeers anywhere. — That s7s,ooo.—The subscriptions are gradually reaching up to the point aimed at, and but a short time will elapse before the amount is raised. Wo have reason to be greatly encouraged as to the final result. Our motto is railroad and prosperity. Measles.— Our locality is favored with a few casts of measles, but which, from the well-known character of the disease, w 11 spread until every man, woman and cln ■ shall be supplied withaiy number of the article desired. The Meningetis, if it ever existed in the county, must be dying out. The last case we have heard of was that of a gentle man who had been to Atlanta. He couldn’t well have looked for anything else than pun ishment of some kind. Ruckersville will be favored with a Tem perance Lecture on the night of the 24th, by Mr. H. H. Parks. We note in some of our exchanges the death of Mr. Jackson Oliver, of Banks, formerly of this county. 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.
