ruined. If we understood him correctly, hU
hands reported to him that forty acres of cot
ton had been entirely ruined by the hail, and
nothing could be realized from the land unless
was planted again. Reports from Mr W. D.
Wargocer's place say that his farm is terribly
msußit-d by the hail, and his entire crop seri

Hill. Monday, stated that the haii embraced a
scope about three miles wide, and that the

In riference to the new railroad, the Favan
nah and Pacific Short Line, the Americus Re
c-’rrier says: ‘ We notice that the people east
of us on the line of the proposed Savannah and
Pacific Short Line Railway are wide awake to
the importance of securing us construe ion,
and are free m their offers of aid. If all of
our people could realize the benefit to Ameri
cus that would follow the construction of this
ro; and. there would be more interest manifested
by them They should take into consideration
the fact that an east and west road from Sa
vannah to the Chattahoochee river will be
built within a few years, and they can
readily see tbe effect upon the trade
of Amencus it this road is allowed to
cross the Southwestern at any point
a vove or below us. It is not even a question
whether we would like to see such a road huiit,
but whether we can afford to let it cross the
boulhwesiern at any other point We think
any one taking into consideration wiiat would
follow, would say that we could not afford it.
This being the case, the people should make
manifest, by every means possible, to the ofli
c rs of the Savannah and Pacific Road their
desire to have it built through Aiuericus. The
merchants of Columbus appreciate the bent fit
it would lie to their city, aul they are moving
in the matter. It won't do for the merchants
of Amertcus to seep still and wait for the com
pany to force the road upon them "

Washington, June 22.—1n the Senate,
Mr. George presented a resolution upon the
request of citizens of Vicksburg, Mississip
pi, of Italian birth, asking permission for
tbe erection of a statue to Garibaldi in the
national cemetery at Vicksburg. He said
the statue would be furnished by those who
asked for this permission.
Several Senators suggested doubts as to
tbe propriety of this as establishing a bad
precedent, and it was referred to the Mili
tary Committee.
The Ilouse bill to enable national banks
to continue their corporate existence then
came up as regular business.
The vote on the final passage of the bill
wns taken at 5:30 p. w., and resulted —yeas
34, nays 13.
The Senate next took up the bill to regu
late proceedings in bankruptcy In order to
bring it up to-morrow as unfinished busi
ness, and then adjourned.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The morning hour having been dispensed
with, the House, at 11:15, went into com mlt
tee of tbe whole, Mr. Camp, of New York,
in the chair, on the bill to reduca internal
revenue taxation.
Mr. White, of Kentucky, spoke In favor
of an amendment which he proposed to
offer, r< pealing the internal revenue system
so far as it applied to the regulation of the
production, manufacture and sale of to
bacco.
Debate on the above bill occupied the re
mainder fff the day’s session, but no action
on the bill or amendments was taken. The
committee finally rose, and the House, at
4:40, adjourned, and a Democratic oauous
was announced, to be held at 8:30 this
evening.
THE IMMIGRANT’S PROTECTION BILL.
The sub-committee of the House Com
mittee on Commerce —Messrs. Page, Rich
arils in and Reagan—appointed to draft a
report for presentation to the House re
specting the recent passage of the bill to
reku’ate immigration, met to-day ami pre
pared a statement, which Is substantially as
follows:
We consider It our duty to make this
statement to the Rouse in the matter of the
bill to regulate immigration, presented bv
Mr. R-*agan on Monday, June It* h, 1882,
and passed by the Ilouse under a susten
tion of the rules, the Committee on Com
merce, or such members thereof as were
then present in the House, having under a
misapprehension advocated or consented to
its passage, and the re'urn of which bill
from the Senate has since been secured.
The bill wss Introduced by Mr. V Vonr
hls, of New Y> rk, on April titb, 1882,
and referred to the Committee on
Commerce on June O’.h, 1882. The commit
tee, after carefully considering and amend
ing the same, authorized Mr. Richardson to
report It as amended to the House, wl h the
recommendation that It do pass. Oj Satur
day, June 17th. I*B2, Mr. RickardsoD, at tbe
request of Mr. Van Voorbts, handed him
the bill and report, a courtesy often ex
tended to the authors of bills.
On tbe following Monday morning,
during Mr. Richardson’s ab-ence, Mr. Van
Voorhis, with tbe consent of certain mem
bers of the committee, asked Judge Reagan
to report the committee’s bill, but banded
to lilm, with the accompanying report, the
bill which psssed, with the sta'ement that
it was a correct copy of the bill agreed to
by said committee, when. In point of fact,
it was materially a d'ff-rent bill from
that which the committee had authoriz'd
Mr. R'chardson to report favorably
to the Hotfi>e. Under this assurance Mr.
Reagan looked hastily over the bill, and
discovering what he supposed to be clerical
errors of omissions touching one or two
amendments that he himself had offered
and which had been adopted
In committee, changed the phraseology
to conform with his recollection of the com
mittee’s action, and subsequently still rely
ing upon the assurance of Mr. Van Voorhis,
offered said bill, and stated that It was the
bill favorably recommended by the com
mittee. The committee, therefore, ask that
the bill be taken f om the Speaker’s table
and passed, with the amendment agreed to
by the committee.
This report will be submitted to the fu l
committee at Us regular session to-morrow.
GOSSIP ABOUT THE JUDGESHIP.
You must i x ‘use another dlspa‘ch ah >nt,
the Judgeship before ‘he question is defi
nitely settled. The matter is not yet finally
adjusted. There U no change in the skv.
however, to Indicate other than Atkins’
final selection. The President Is still for
A'kins, and the Attorney General said the
other day to a friend of his that it was
Impof&iole tbt McCty could get
the plac*. B'gby has gone away.
It is learnid that he, D.irnell,
and Thomas tried to work up a combination
and pool their strength. They were to
manipulate a mutual pool, as they talk of at
the races. The efforts of the three were to
be directed to the following hoped for re
sult: Blghy waa to be Judge, Thom is Dis
trict A'torney for the new district, and
Dirnell to succeed Bigby as I) strict Attor
ney at Atlanta. It wll be remembered In
this connection that Bigby a short time
ago sent a letter to the Attorney
Genera', which succeeded in he.vlng the
head of Daraell, who was then bis a-sL'ant,
unceremonious v chopped off B -'ore B ghy
left here the comblnaMon spoken o’ was
broken up, r.s the members of it made no
headway. Farrow, who went In for the
Judgeship on his own hook, has recanted
h's desertion of Atkins. In company with
Collector Johnson at Atlanta, he went to the
White House the other diy and the two
urged the appointment of Atkins. Another
point aoout, the Judgeship : The President
said the other day that the appointment
would be a political one.
A CHANGE OF VIEWS.
Men are liab'e to change their ideas and
views. The Philadelphia Times the o‘her
dsy n p*oduced a denuucla’ion of B >ss D m
Cameron made by Atto* ey General Brew
ster six years ago. It was a scathing review
r.f Too’hache Don. It called the Cameron
dynasty a blo‘on the body politic, a fraud
to liberty, and other su'-h things. It was
just too awful. Among other things Brew
ster spoke of the debauchery of the public
service by allowing CuR-tron to control aDd
dictate the entire patronage of the 8 a‘e of
Pennsylvania. Just now Brewster Is a mem
ber of a stalwart Cabinet, and got there by
the consent and support of Cameron. The
o’her day a gentleman interested in one of
the cilices In the B‘ate of Pennsylvania
which are undr tbe jurisdiction of the
Department of Justice, went to Brewster to
Inquire about It. Said Brewster: “Go to
Donald Cameron. He controls all those
things; and it is but right that he should do
so.”
THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS.
The slow and tedious prcc ss of present
irg the testimony In the star route cases Is
generally enlivened in the court room by
the wraugling between counsl, which It.
r. quires the interposition of Judge Wylie to
s‘op. To-Jay’s proceedings developed an
unusual degree of acrimony, and Mr. Mer
rick declared that, in view of the Innuendos
and discourteous treatment Indulged
In by the defen-e towards one
of his associates (Mr. Bliss),
the prosecution would hereafter refuse to
answer any questions from the other side
except when put through the court. Be
fore the examination was concluded the de
fense had taken out additional subpcias
against Becond Assistant Postmaster Gene
ral Elmer, Inspector Woodward and Mr.
Bliss, calling upon them to produce papers
and teiegraras concerning the route in
reference to which testimony was being
taken.
THE DEMOCRATS AND THE KELLET BILL
A emeu* of members of the
House of Representatives was held to night.
Thera were only about forty members
present. It was decided to vote against
Mr Kelley’s revenue bill, unless certain
amendments thereto are adopted. An
agreement was substantially reached by the

Governor Cornell Vetoes a Big Job.
Albany, N. Y., June 22.—The Governor
has vetoed the elevated railway tax bill,
which had been so strenuously opposed by
the New York city officials on the ground
that it relieved the company from payment
of jnst taxes already due, and that It was
unlair In its provisions for future taxation,
In that It discriminated too much In the
company’s favor. Charges of bribery and
coiruptton were freely made on tbe passage

—The Outlook at Cairo and Alex
andria.
Paris, June 22.— 1n the Chamber of Depu
ties to-day M. de Freycinet, Prime Minister,
said that France and England have given
their Ambassadors instructions, fixing as the
basis of the conference the re-establlshment
of the rights of the Sultan, the maintenance
of the rights of the Khedive, the preserva
tion of the liberties of the Egyptians and the
observance of the international engage
ments of Egypt. The powers, he said,
would sign a protocol of the basis
of the conference. The government had
in no degree resigned their independence.
If, contrary lo all expectations, they found
themselves cinfronted by a solution Incon
sistent with their diguitv, they would re
sume liberty of action, but they were con
vinced that the resisting record would con
tinue.
London, June 22—Sir Charles Dllke
made a declaration, touching the basis of
the conference, la the House of Commons
this afternoon, similar to that made by M.
de Freycinet in the French Chamber of
Deputies.
In the House of Commons this afternoon,
Sir Charles Dllke, Under Foreign Secretary,
confirmed the statement that Sir Eiward
Malet and M. Sieukenwitz have been in
structed to do nothing implying a recogni
tion of the new Egyptian Ministry.
It Is ascertained irom official sources that
there is no truth in the minors with refer
ence to trouble In the Ca' lnet In conse
quence of objections to Intervention In
Egypt. The rumors are attributed to tbe
devices of operators in Egyp;lan securities
on the Stock Exchange.
It is reported that the correspondent of
the New York Herald at Alexandria was
beaten by an Arab to day, but was not
much hurt.
The Times correspondent at Alexandria
says: ‘‘lt is generally believed that if the
Khedive goes to Cairo he will not return
from there alive. The fleet here consists of
seven Eog'lsh ships, seven French, two
Gretk, one I‘aliao, one Austrian, one Ger
man, one American, one Russian, and one
Turkish.”
The Standard's correspondent at Alexan
dria save that the Governor of Alexandria,
President of the Commission of Inquiry
into the cause of the recent riot, who has
displayed fairness and intelligence, has been
superseded as President of the Commission
by the Minister of Finance.

Instructing him to use his efforts to Induce
Arabl Pasha to proceed to Constanti
nople before the first sitting of the confer
ence, aud stating that the Sultan is
sa'lsfied with the attitude of Arabl Pasha.
It is believed that Arab! will*drcUne to go
to Constantinople. Tbe Sultan has also
telegraphed to the Khedive expressing sat
isfaction at hi 6 course and promising to use
every means to strengthen his eu'horlty.
The exodus of Europeans is diminishing,
but much sensation has been caused by an
official violently denouncing Europeans at
a reception given by the Khedive.
Tbe Khedive has abandoned the Idea of
going to Cairo.
Constantinople, June 22.— The Ambas
sadors met to-day at the British embassy,

dent of the fruitless conference in regard to

have declined to take part in the con
ference at Constantinople without
the participation and against the will of
Turkey. The conference is based, the
Frisse says, upon the Idea that its decisions
will be execu ed by the Sultan, and the
concurrence of Turkey is therefore Indis
pensable.

THE UNITED KINGDOM.
The Alien Act to be Applied—The
Conservatives and Clotnre —An
Oracular Official Utterance.
London, June 22.— Mr. Bradlaugh made
an attempt to present a petition at the
Speaker’s table, in the House of Commons
this afternoon, but was withheld at the
order of the Speaker.
In the House of Commons, Sir Charles
Dllke, Under Foreign Secretary, replying to
an inquiry by Baron de Worms, of which he
gave notice on Monday, whether the Uoited
Btates Government had refused to agree to
the expulsion of American suspects from
Ireland as a condition for their release, said
he believed there were still some American
citizens Imprisoned in Ireland.
The House of Commons, in committee,
this evening resumed consideration of the
repression bill, taking up clause 12, which
provides for the application of the alien act
to aliens in Ireland.
Mr. Healy moved an amendment limiting
the duration of the operation of the alien
act as applied In this bill to one year instead
of three years.
Mr. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ire
land, said the object of the clause was to
enable the government to get at those who
were believed to be at the bottom of most
of the crimes committed In Ireland. He
quoted as evidence a passage from the
United Irishman, declaring that if the Eng
lish would not quit Ireland peaceably, they
would meet the fate of Cavendish and
Burke. Mr. Trevelyan added that the gov
ernment knew that a number of the most
dangerous characters in Ireland were aliens,
Mr. Healy’s amendment was rejected,
Mr. Morgan L’oyd, Liberal, moved an
amendment applying the alien act to the
whole United Kingdom.
After some discussion Mr. Gladstone pro
posed to allow tbe amendment to stand over
till the report was made, when It would be
proposed for the acceptance of the House,
so that fuller consideration might be given
it.
Mr. Lloyd’s amendment was agreed to by
a vote of 228 to 51.
Progress was reported on clause 12. The
debate still continues.
The Times says there is reason to believe
that the leaders of the Conservative party
are fully.prepared to acquit see In the cloture
by a two-thirds majority if that change is in
troduced, and to co operate cordially in
carrying all the rules, and thus avoid a pro
longed discussion, necessitating an autumn
session of Parliament.

OUR EL DORADO.
PRECIOUS METALS IN SOUTH
ERN MINES.
The Total Yield Tims Far Reported
—The Gold Field* of Georgia—The
Companies Now at Work.
Washington, Jane 22—Director Bur
chard has prepared his annual report upon
the gold and silver products of the United
States for the year 1881. The report is vo
luminous. From an advance copy I make
extracts of Southern Interest: “The total
amounts of the precious metals from the
-mines of the South deposited in the United
States Mint from ISO 4 to the close of the
calendar year 1881 were as follows: Vir
ginia, $1,089,797; North Carolina, $10,750,-
468 64: South Carolina, $1,429,751 55; Geor
gia, $7,869,282 GO; Alabama, #220,893 25;
Tennessee, $86,511 61; total, $22,046,703 65,
This does not represent the whole produc
tion of these States, a considerable portion
undoubtedly having been used for
other than coinage purposes or hav
ing lost its identity as to locali
ty of it3 production before being
and( posited at the mint. During the last year
the production of the Carolinas and Georgia
was about $275,000. The total gold produc
ing area of North Carolina comprises up
wards of 25,000 square miles in which gold
is found at intervals, bat the portion pro
ducing on a working scale is embraced by
the western half, or about 1,200 square
miles. The production of North Carolina
during 1881, was, approximated. $115,000.
Of this amount, $5:3,483 was deposited at
the mints and assay offices as native gold
from that State. The identity of other de
posits as to locality was not ascertained.
A considerable amount was shipped directly
abroad.
SOUTH CABO/.INA.
The State of South Carolina, in common
with the whole mining area of the South,
suffered last year from a drought which
seriously retarded work in every locality.
The cultivation of cotton having become
more remunerative than other pursuits, it
has almost entirely diverted miners of small
means from their mining work. Notwith
standing these adverse circumstances the
condition of the gold industry in South
Carolina is favorable, and the yield is evi
dently increasing. The production of the
State in 1881 was $35,000.
THE GOLD OF GEORGIA.
The gold belt of Georgia is upwards of
one hundred miles In width, extending
across the northern and part of the eastern
section of the State from northeast to south
west. Mines have been discovered from the
line of Tennessee in Fannin county on the
north to Columbia county on the
south. The area of production has
steadily increased year by year. Off the
main belt but little has been done, mining
having been conducted principally in tbe
counties of White, Union, Lumpkin, Chero
kee, Dawson and Rabun, situated in the
northern section of the State. After the
most careful inquiries the yield of Georgia
in 1881 is ascertained to have been but
$125,000. In estimating this jfield two
methods have been adopted. First, by care
ful Inquiry at the producing points, and,
second, by ascertaining the amounts
shipped. Mount Airy, Gainesville and At
lanta are the three main express points for
the shipment of gold. The express agents
at Mount Airy and Gainesville reported the
shipments as $1,333 and $93,858 respec
tively. The agent at Atlanta declined
to furnish any statement, but from
the best information obtained the
amount cannot be large—probably
not over SIO,OOO, as Atlanta is somewhat
remote from the principal producing area.
The agent at Gainesville estimates that at
least $12,000 was carried awav during the
year in private hands. Considerable gold
produced in the section of country above
Mount Airy is transported by mall, $2,700
being officially traced. A summary of the
movement of goid from Georgia is as fol
lows: From Mount Airy, by express, $1,333;
from Mount Airy, by mail, $2 700: from
Gainesville, by express, $93,858; from
Gainesville, by private hands, $12,000; from
Atlanta, bv express (estimated), $10,000;
total $119,891. This amount substantially
agrees with that ascertained from indepen
dent observations at the mines.
In Rabun county the J. P. Wil
son mine, four miles from
Bartow, has been opened and will soon be at
work on a large scale. This property, con
sisting of two sections of 499 acres each,
has been worked on a small scale for many
years with rude and scanty apparatus, but
the return has amply paid for the time con
sumed. From assays made of the many
samples of the ore at the United States As
say Office at Charlotte, It seems to be in
richness full up to the standard of the aver
age of Georgia ores. Steady operations
during the present year on an extended
scale will produce a very respectable yield.
The mining from Rabun county to Nacoo
chee valley, In White county, Is conducted
almost exclusively by the country people
and on a small scale. They have been re
warded better than they would have
been by other occupations. At
Nacoochee valley great activity Is
manifested. The work done Is almost
entirely hydraulic. The Bradley mill has
been closed and Is likely t# remain 60, as It
Is In litigation. The Nacoochee Company is
at, present working on the grounds of the
Lumsden Brothers, but as their lease Is
short and the company is involved in legal
troubles, the result of their work In 1882 Is
quite uncertain. Johns <& Company are
opening up at the junction of Duke’s Creek
and the Chattahoochee river for hydraulic
treatment. Lot 38 has been vigorously ex
ploited on the Chattahoochee slope of the
Hamby Mountain belt. The Lumsden
Brothers are effecting arrangements for put
ting their property at work or of disposing
of it to other parties. In 1880 a very slight
amount of work in their kitchen garden un
covered a remarkable deposit of nuggets
to the extent of several thousand penny
weights; and old miners conversant with the
course and character of “ancient stream,”
in this neighborhood think that other simi
lar discoveries are probable. Half a mile
to the southwest E. R. Trimble is operating
the Thompson place. The common run is
regarded as satisfactory in quality, but rich
chimneys are reputed as existing. The
craige near J. R, Dean’s is being opened,
but work cannot be so sufficiently forwarded
as to allow a production of gold in 1882.
Many evidences of large resources are in
this city, but none except possibly the Jar
rett lots, Nos. 23 aDd 24, In district 3, are
likely to be worked except by individuals.
The amount produced in this neighborhood
can hardly be less than $15,000 in 1881. The
yield is likely to be one-half greater this
year If the ordinary conditions of water
supply are maintained.
LUMPKIN COUNTY.
Between the Nacoochee valley and Louds
ville, mining is conducted on a small scale.
The principal mining operations of the
Georgia gold regions are in the vicinity of
Dahlonega. Bartow and Hand mine, two
miles southwest of this town, has not ma
terially changed, except so far as the lack
of water has checked work. The quartz Is
of a good grade, and the average yield 11l
probably be maintained through 1882. The
lay is adjacent to Dahlonega, and on the
same belt as the Bartow and Hand. Its
yield has been satisfactory, and the pros
perity is likely to continue. The Findley,
one and a half miles southeast of Dahlonega,
has been worked with little change. The
ore appears to be of a slightly inferior grade
to that of the year before. It is not as ad
vantageously situated for hydraulic pur
poses as many others. The Bast, on
the same belt, adjoins the Find
ley. It has been consolidated with
the Joy and worked under the same man
agement with reported success. The Lock
hart temporarily suspended operations for
lack of water. Anew shaft is sinking to
meet the ore body at a greater depth. For
*. small mine it has unusual prosperity. The
Singleton, one and a half miles east of
Dahlonega, is under the same management
as the Lockhart. The White, or Pigeon
Roost, adjoins the Bartow and Hand, and
the ore is much the same. Its stamp mill
was stopped during the greater portion of
theyear. The following summary shows
the mines about Dahlonega and the number
of stamps viz:
Findley, 50 stamps; Bast, 20 stamps; Joy,
20 stamps; Lockhart, 15 stamps; Singleton,
10 stamps; Bartow and Hand, 40 stamps;
White, 10 stamps.
More reticence than usual was shown in
communicating the production for 1881, but
from the best sources of Information the
yield of this district was $BO,OOO.
The work at Auraria, six miles southwest
of Dahlonega, and on the same belt, is not
so extensively conducted, nor has there
been so much prosperity. The Chicago and
Georgia, adjacent to the village, employs
ten stamps. The ore does not seem bo
favorable on the belt, and operations were
less vigorously conducted than during the
preceding year. The Auraria, one and a
half miles southwest of the town of that
name, has been set to work. It has a ten
stamp mill; a moderate yield Is expected.
The Wells, half a mile south of Auraria,has
also been opened; a ten stamp battery has
ESTABLISHED 1850.
been pat up. No large yield should be an
ticipated In the near future. The
Baggs Branch or Cleveland, two miles
southeast of the town, is situated on lots
Nos. 172,178, and the north end of 208.
It is operated by twenty stamps The pro
duction is fair, out the water supply poor.
The Hlghtown, one mile west of the Cleve
land, was Idle nearly the whole of 1881, and
half the stamps have been removed to the
Wells. The prospects are not very encour
aging. The Bell is two miles southeast of
Auraria. The m'.ne has a good repute, but
the water supply is neither abundant nor
well assured. The Calhoun, three miles
south of Dahlonega, has recently been
started again. It was formerly worked by
Hon. John C, Calhoun. After lying aban
doned for many years it is now likely to be
placed on the list of gold producers.
The following summary shows the work
about Auraria: Chicago and Georgia, 10
stamps; Auroria, 10 stamps; Wells, 10
stamps; Cleveland, 20 stamps; Hlghtown,
10 s:amps; Bell, 10 stamps.
The production of this district was not
over SB,OOO during the last year. “Before
leaving this locality," says the report,
“mention should be made of anew enter
prise near Feather’s Ford on the Chestatee
river, four miles south of Auraria. A
dredging boat has been construct
ed by Captain Nobles. The inten
tion is to raise the material from the
bottom of the river preparatory to extract
ing the cold. Of the worth of the process
or the value of the deposit at the point se
lected no statement can be made, but of the
accumulation of gold in the bed of the
Chestatee there can be little doubt. The
river runs for sixteen miles either along
with or across the gold belt, and together
with its affluents along the same belt must
receive the wash and tailings from 75 to 100
square miles of auriferous territory. At
wnat point the gold has lodged, and to what
extent Is a matter of conjecture.”
DAWSON COUNTY.
Ia this county the only large mines are
those controlled by the Cincinnati Consoli
dated Mining Company, the Bay, Magic,
Gnome, Amiealola and Klnmore. The
Mavic and Amiealola are the only mines
worked to a noteworthy extent, but consid
erable preparations are projected for en
larged operations. The water supply Is
drawn from the Immediate neighborhood of
the mines and is insufficient. Two ditches
—one from Shoal creek and one from Aml
calola river—to bring In a sufficient supply
of water are being constructed. The belts
are large and the ore good. These mines
promise to produce this year on a fair scale.
The Franklin and Pascoe mines are
twelve or fifteen miles southwest of
above properties. They have had a famous
history, but the work was mainly done on
the surface. It remains to be seen how
successful vein mining will prove. Still
further to the southwest the operations are
very desultory—at the Strickland, Sixes
and Cherokee. The production of Dawson
county last year was about SIO,OOO.
OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE.
In the northeastern part of the State, In
Union county, the Gum Log and Warren
mines were worked to a slight extent at
intervals. The Glades mine, near Lula, in
Hall county, made a moderate return. Near
Clarksville, Habersham county, some work
was done with favorable results. Farther
to the southwest, in Bartow county, is the
abandoned Alatoona. and in PauldlDg
county, the Burnt Hickory and Draketown.
Beyond,in Cobb county,are the Kendrick and
the Payne. The belt then passes into Car
roll county, in which are the Yllla Rica and
Bonner; and thence Into Alabama, where, so
far as information has been receleved, the
list closes it with the Abacoochee and Pine
tucker. All of these mines were noted In
the palmy days of placer mining, and some
of them have yielded large returns. Of
what value they would be for deep mining,
nothing can be said with certainty, but tbe
ores exhibited at the Atlanta Exposition
were of good character. The yield of these
counties may be placed at $5,000.
REVIEW OF THE WORK OF 1881.
“In reviewing the work in Georgia In
1881,” concludes the report, “it will be eeen
that there has been but little change; the
quantity and quality of the ore is substan
tially the same as it was a year ago. A few
unstable companies have succumbed and a
few unwise enterprises have been set In
operation, but the well established compa
nies have held their way with little change,
except so far as the scarcity of water in
the summer and early autumn compelled an
abridgment of their work.
Parnell on Darltt’s New Departure.
The London correspondent of the New
York Herald has interviewed Mr. Parnell in
that city with regard to the alleged new de
parture advocated by Mr. Davitt and some
other Land League leaders, and cables the
interview to his paper this morning. The
correspondent asked: "What do yon think
of Mr. Davitt’s new departure of the na
tionalization of land?” Mr. Parnell ans
wered: “In my judgment, however theo
retically sound the plan of tb e nation allzai ion
of the land may be considered in the opin
ion of its supporters, I cannot see how it can
ever come in Ireland within the region of
practical politics. The original programme
of the Land League movement claimed for
Irish tenants the right of becoming occupy
ing owners, and the cutting down of rente
was to be a necessary preliminary to attain
ing this right. This was the platform
adopted at the Westport meeting in the
Rpring of 1879, which was practically the
first meeting of the movement, and certain
ly the first whereat Mr. Davitt and I attend
ed. The organization of the Land League,
whieh was formed subsequently in the
autumn of same year, adopted the same
platform, and, so far as I am aware, it has
never been departed from in the resolutions
adopted at any of the hundreds of Land
Lsagus meetings which have been held
since, or at either of the two National Con
ventions.”
"Wbat is your interpretation of the
phrase, ‘the land for the people,’ which you
have yourself used, I believe, on several
occasions?”
"In using this expression I never intended
to convey my adhesion to nationalization,
but I meant that if Irish tenants were con
verted into occupying owners, the land
would be held in such a way and cultivated
in such a manner as to be of the most ad
vantage to the people. I see that Mr. Da
vftt estimates the compensation to be given
to Irish landlords at £140,000,000 sterling;
that one of the results of his system would
be that tenants would be sold their land on
the payment of an annual tax equivalent to
about half their present rent. It would not
be any easier, and perhaps not as easy,
to obtain the lands of Ireland
from the landlords for £140,000,-
000 compensation under the system
of the nationallzatic n of land than under
the system proposed by the Land League.
If under the formtr system the land can be
obtained for £140,000,000 the Land League
would certainly be able to obtain it for the
tenants for a not greater sum—possibly for
a less. If we assume that Mr. Davitt’s es
timate of £150,000,000 as compensation to
be paid is correct, the tenant farmer would
have a smaller annual payment to make un
der our system than under that of the na
tionalization of land. While under our sys
tem the payments by the tenant would ter
minate at the end of fifty-two years, under
the other system they would continue for
ever.”
"What is your opinion of the propriety of
advancing the nationalization programme
into Irish politics?”
"We have every hope of an amendment
of the Bright clauses of the land act in fjj.ch
a way as to enable tenants to become own
ers under the terms I have described above.
We have no hope whatever that this gov
ernment or any government likely to be in
our time will advance money for the pur
pose of carrying out the nationalization
scheme. The conversion of any tenant into
an owner is, according to the views of the
Nationals itlon party, a step in the wrong
direction—a step which will have to be re
traced hereafter. If their views are to ob
tain we therefore should incur the im
putation of not knowing our own minds,
if, after two years of successful agi
tation towards an occupying proprie
tary, we start an entirely different
theory; for, as I have shown, those in favor
of nationalization cannot consistently sup
port an extension of the occupying pro
prietary. I recognize to the fullest extent
the right of anybody to formulate his own
opinions and to Influence the people to fol
low him in the direction of those opinions,
but having regard to all the circumstances
of the case—the great risk of a division in
America and of the serious evils which
have always attended a division in the ranks
of our people—l cannot view the step lately
taken in formulating this new plan as one
likely to be justified by successful results.”
“Then I may take it that you intend to
adhere strictly to the original programme
of the Land League and recommend no al
teration?”
“Most certainly.”
“Is there not serious danger of a division
at home in Ireland In consequence of start
ing this new theory?”
"I scarcely think so. I believe that Mr.
Davitt Is simply desirous of testing public
opinion in Ireland with regard to this
matter, and that when he finds, as I believe
he will find, that a large majority of his
own people are not inclined to depart from
the old lines,;he, with that public spirit, In
tegrity and desire for union which have so
distinguished his carper, will see that the
interests of Ireland can best be served by
working out the results to which we have
been devoting our energies since the begin
ning of the movement.”
THE ASSASSIN.
Whistling to Keep Ills Courage Up
—Not Quite so Mucli of a Pat as
He Was.
Watertmcn Star.
The prisoner has always shown a dislike
to profanity, and some of the guards and
attendants inclined to the use of oaths have
been frequently checked by him. Generally
If he overhears an oa h, he will say, “Let
up! Let up! on that,” and make a signifi
cant motion wph his hand, in Heating the
region below. He pays more attention to
spiritual matters now than he formerly did,
anc' both on retiring and arising kneels at
the s'de of his cot and prays, and before
p*r‘,aklng of his meals he sits down quietly,
and pausing a moment, places his hands
over his eyes and asks a blessing. As be
fore stated, the larger portion of his time
he spends in reading his Bible or some other
religious work. Sometimes he will whistle
or hum a hymn tune. Occasionally he in
voluntarily strikes a song tune, but will
drop the latter as soon as he discovers his
mistake. •
A few evenings ago he was whistling,
“Jordan am a hard road to trabble,” when
the guard said, “That Is not in keeping with
vour action, “and he at once stopped it, re
marking that he had forgotten himself. He
is apparently losing a portion of his ego
tism, placing himself in the position of a
suppliant for God’s mercy, looking anx
iously forward to the times set by his
spiritual adviser. Rev. Dr. Hicks, to visit
him. He eats well and sleeps well. Last
night he slept soundly, and awoke this
morning quite refreshed and very bright.
Since his imprisonment the jail has been
one of the principal points of attraction to
visitors. Thousands have beseeched the
officials for just a sight of him. There have
been times when the pressure has been so
great, many coming with letters from high
government officials, members of Congress,
etc., who could not well be re
fused, that to save time the prisoner
has been brought out in the presence
of hundreds at a time. It is well
known that before the trial, and during It,
there were others besides Ssrgcant Masou
and Bill Jones who would have killed the
assassin if they had had the opportunity,
and there is little doubt that a number of
persons visited the court house and Jail to
avenge the President’s death. One of our
business men while being shown through
the j all by General Crocker was halted at
the assassin’s cell door and his hand went
back to his hip-pocket, while he bit his lips
to keep his temper down. On coining out
the visitor vowed he would not go through
the ordeal again for fifty dollars, for he had
as much as he could do to keep from shoot
ing the prisoner. Another poor, afflicted
man, almost dead from disease, on being
admitted to the rotunda did his best to get
sight of the assassin, vowing that if he could
see a hair of the man he would kill him.
Recently a prominent New Yorker, an
officer of the National Gut-rd, of that State,
was at the jail to see a prisoner, and It being
suggested that he might see the assassin,
exclaimed: “I wauld not see him for a thou
sand dollars, and, while 1 am thankful for
the suggestion, If vou do not wish to get
me in trouble don’t let me get sight of
him.” And he left the building without
seeing him,
Some of the ladies who called seemed to
have been satisfied with barely a look at
the prisoner, and when he extended his
hand to them would recoil, at which the
prisoner would get excited. Oa one occa
sion he ordered a number who had thus
treated him out of his cell. Probably he
never showed so much temper as he did on
one occasion, when he overheard one of the
two New Yorkers about entering the cor
ridor to see him remark, “I have been In
many prisons and seen hundreds of prison
ers, but for the first time I am going to see
one whom 1 have not even a little sympathy
for, one whom It would honor to spit in bis
face.” The assassin jumped into his bed at
once and turned his face to the wall so that
the visitors did not have their curiosity
gratified. One lady who visited the jail re
marked proudly to her father at the dinner
table after her return home, “ We have seen
the assassiD, and I shook his hand.” The
astonished parent reddened and vociferated,
“Get up, ml6s, leave my sight anl wash
your hands.”
A SENATORIAL BLUNDER.
Tbe President directed to Pay tv*-."
Japanese Fuud from His Own
Pocket.
Washington Correspondence of the Philadel
phia Times.
An examination of the Japanese Indem
nity bill reveals a curious botch made of the
matter by the Senate. As amended by
striking out and inserting various words and
lines it is left so that the President Is di
rected to pay Japan $785 000 out of his own
pocket. If the House should concur the
President would be justified In returning the
bill with a demurrer. The original bill, as
passed by the House, provided for tbe re
storation of the fund to Japan, it never
having been converted into the Treasury.
It was specified that this fund, under con
trol of the Department of State, was the
money to be returned. The Senate
struck out the words “fund
under control of the Department
of State,” and the amount inserted
was 6imply the new 6um, “$750,000,” which
the President was directed to turn over to
Japan through our Minister to that govern
ment; this without appropriating anything.
A line was also inserted directing that the
bonds which comprise the funds shall be
turned. This rart of the bill provides for a
simple destruction of property to the extent
of the premium on the securities, which ia
about twenty cents on the dollar, and which
will be lost by such a senseless operation.
The Senators evince a good deal of sensi
tiveness about the matter under the univer
sal condemnation their action has elicited
from the press of the country without re
gard to party bias. They would like a
chance to recede creditably without an open
confession of stupi iity. The House will
unanimously refuse to concur and an at
tempt will be made to fix the matter up In
conference under the guidance of Mr. Wil
liams, of Wisconsin, Chairman of the House
Committee on Foreign Affaiss.
It is announced that Prof. Bwing has re
tired from editorial control of the Alliance
(a religious paper), and will be succeeded by
Geo. C. Miln, whose antagonistic views re
cently caused his retirement from the pae
torate of the Unity Unitarian Church,
Chicago.
A dispatch has been received at Nashville
stating that ex-Gov. John C. Brown had
been elected President, and 11. B. Bronner,
of Knoxville, Secretary, of the Florida Ship
CaDal Company. The Florida Legislature, It
is said, will be called together to enact such
laws as will enable the company tr carry
out its plans.
E. C. Hooper shot and killed John J.
Chambliss at Macedonia, sixteen miles
northwest of Hopkinsville, Ky., a few days
ago. The men had previously had a diffi
culty, and bad blood existed between them.
Chambliss armed himself with a shotgun
and went to where Hooper was plowing,
and renewed the difficulty. After some hot
words, Chambliss cocked and leveled his
gun on Hooper, but before he could shoot,
the latter knocked the weapon aside,
wrenched It from Chambliss’ hands and
fired the contents into his body.
