Rome Commercial: In his better moods we believe our neighbor of the Courier will agree with us that “charity which thiriketh no evil” is hard to heat, after all, as a rule of ac tion. It brings more pleasures by far in its train than that other rule which considers every man a rascal until the contrary is proven. Atlanta Herald: The grand jury of Fulton county unanimously pass ed a resolution directingtheOrdinary of Fulton county to purchase a lot and take steps for the erection of a substantial court house. This is right. The present buildings and grounds belong to the city, and the Ordinary has been notified that the city desires possession. The county ought to have a substantial fire-proof buildings to secure the re cords from theft and fire. The coun ty is out of debt, and the county tax es lower than any in the State. She ought to have a courthouse of liei own. Colonel Peterson Thweatt, ex- Com pi roller - General, addresses a memorial to the Legislature, praying j that he may he allowed to sue in the ; Courts for the amount claimed by J him, or have (he matter referred to Commissioners, and pledging him self to abide by the decision of Court or commissioners, as the case may | he. The Southern Watchman thinks j the prayer should he granted. We learn from Ihe Fort Valley j Mirror that on Christmas night, in ! Fort Valley, a party of boys got in j their possession a lot of muskets ! which they used in firing Christmas guns. They used cartridges, tearing off the ball and using the powder. Through excitement and imprudence a ball was fired from one of the guns, the bail going through two walls of a house, killing a negro named Carrie Houser, who was dancing inside of the house. The directors of the Atlanta Cotton Factory Company regard the pros pects of the company as exceedingly flattering, and have decided that they have sufficient reliable subscriptions to warrant them in going forward completing thebuildingsand putting in the first section of 9 072 spin dles; and have already directed that the plans and specifications he for warded to the principal manufactu rerers of cotton machinery, and that sealed bids be received for the same as soon as possible. Ilerald and Georgian: “The Green ville Vindicator says W. B. Lowe, a merchant of Atlanta, is a candidate for State Treasurer. It says he lived many years in New York, made a good soldier in the Confederate army, and is worth a fortune of one hun dred thousand dollars. Now it may he very nice to live in New York, and must make a man feci very com fortable to have a hundred thousand dollars, and is certainly commenda ble to be a good soldier, but how these things qualify a man for State Treasurer we are unable to see.” “11. 11. J.,” of the Macon Tele graphi, records the following inci dents, which lie says were obtained from a perfectly reliable source: “In Webster county one respectable fami ly passed nine weeks iast summer witliout even tasting meat, sugar or coffee. Near a place called Boxancle. also, in Stewart county, an impecu nius negro who had a large family, employed all the children unable to do field work in gathering hickory nuts, the kernels of which furnished tlie only grease for their greens and corn-dodgers.” He also learns that that whole region of country is cru elly pinched for food. Columbus Enquirer , sth : “The ne groes have been daily leaving this place for the past ten days for Miss issippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. As many as three hundred have gone up to date. We hear of some few farms and sections where nearly a'l of the labor has left. Many still are ex pressing a desire to get off’. The rail roads offer extra inducements, and by some means money is raised to pay transportation. We think the plan adopted by the Central Road a wise one —that is, to charge full fare for every emigrant—urging that they should try to keep the laboring class here instead of getting rid of them.” Southern Iron- A letter from Col. George T. Lewis, one of the best informed iron men of the country, to Col. Morgan,of Nash ville, says the Charleston News and Courier, makes a very flattering ex hibit for the iron interest of the South. The writ ter shows the cost of making a ton of pig in Pitts burg, as shown by one of toe papers of that city, is $25 02 ; while the cost of making a ton of metal of the same quality at Cumberland Works, Ten negseee, including the cost of trans potation, is oniy sl6, making a dif ference of nine dollars per ton in favor of Southern iron. This profit on 30,000 tons a year would be very handsome. Mr. Lowthian Bell, the great iron man of the world, stated on his re turn from a visit to the United States, in an address to the British Iron and Steel Institute, that “Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia could produce iron at a little over half the cost in the North Pennsylvania—and as cheap as the most favored localities in Great Britian.” Not only is this iron cheap, but it is also of the finest quality. An iron manufacturer, in a letter written to the Pittsburg Review , states that “the iron from Alabama and Tennessee has brought in Phila delphia sixty-three dollars a ton, and gave character and tone to high priced Northern iron that the Northern Throughout the iron region oi trie South are found beds of ore contain ing from 57 to 59 per cent, of pure metallic iron, and these beds are almost exhaustible. With an abun dant supply of coal near at hand, every facility is offered for the full development of tnis great interest. The fact that iron can he manufactur ed in the South and delivered in Pittsburg for less than the cost of man ufacturing Pennsylvania iron, recalls to mind another interesting fact, that cotton yarn can be spun in the South and sold in New York for less than the cost of production by the North ern factories. There is a great future for the manufacturing interests of the South. —Macon Telegraph For GoverDO?. The following is an editorial from the Senoia Enterprise: In reviewing the.catalogue ofGeor gia’s great and renowned men for a suitable occupant of the Gubernato rial chair, we know of no one better qualified than the great and noble General Lucius J. Gartrell. He is a man who has filled many public po sitions of trust and honor-'-yet he is not by any means an office seeker— and lie has always proved himself worthy of the responsibility reposed in him. His name now meritoriously stands among the candidates for our next Governor. Gen. Gartrell in 1803, was solicited by his gallant soldiers and officers to accept the candidacy for Governor, and though the prospects of success seemed Jattering, he was induced by patriotic motives to refuse to run the race. Asa man he is possessed of tal ents of the highest order, true to every trust; beloved by the people, kind and generous to the poor and an in corruptible patriot who never quails before opposition. Gtn. Gartrell is one of Georgia’s most worthy and ho nored sons. Congressman Holman, of Indiana, lias prepared a programme for reduc ing appropriation bills $46,000,000 over last year. He cuts public build ings down $10,000,000, and allows no more to he started ; abolishes the let ter carrier system in cities of less ; than 80,000 inhabitants; abolishes the I Marine Corps, and closes up all navy i yards but one or two ; cuts the army ' and navy down one-third to one- j half; stops river and harbor improve-! merits almost entirely, and reduces the salaries of postmasters one-half. This item alone saves $3,000,000. He also makes a general reduction of all other salaries, to a greater or less ex tent, in every department, except Congress and Congressional ap pointees.

THE DAILY AMERICAN, Nashville, Tennessee. mHE centralization of power in Washington, JL and the control cf ctirrupt combinations oi the day in the Government at various points throughout the country to 11-oece the people of their hard earnings, was justly excited the pub lic. The unexampled policy of paving billions of debt in gold, at a period of general stagna tion in business; the disposition manifested, if not to convert the ges eminent into an ah o lute monarchy, to reduce the tree people of America to absolute serfdom; the continual cry of the tax gatherer; the building up of the lew at the expense of the many; the excessive inequalities ot burdens imposed by the Gov ernment on its own citizens, all of whom sue entitled to equal privileges; the results of all these iu the general prostration of business af ford just cause for alarm. They aflord also a just cause for a demand for a change in the National administration oi public affairs, it is therefore the duty of the Democracy, which in its purity is th'e representative and defender of the people, and of the people themselves who are really the Democracy, to correct the growing evils which threaten to overwhelm all in common ruin. There must be a change ot the National administration before there is either safety or real reform. This is the vital question beiore the people. Toe American is on the side of the people and ol ehange. It lias its views and expresses them from day to day. and while doing so frankly and honestly, it also fairly and as fully as its space will permit, gives "the views and arguments of the other side. It claims nothing outside of the interests of the people, and seeks only to intorm them truthfully of all matters in which they themselves are mostly concerned. * On the eve of the Centennial of the Republic and of a Presidential campaign of the greatest moment to the people, it behooves the Con servative and Democratic masses of this sec tion to supply themselves, in time, with jiolit ieal news, facts and general political informa tion irom the nearest central distributing point. The American, issued from the cap ital of Tennessee, and supplying as well, much ol the territoryof Kentucky, Georgiaaud Ala bama, is the only Daily Iteinocratic journal published within a radius of more than a hun dred and fifty miles in which there are nearly if not quite a. million of people. It furnishes to its readers, at heavy exuense, the full vol ume of telegraphic reports of the Western As sociated Press, including the Congressional proceedings of the most interesting session for many years, in which the Democrats, lor the first time since the war, have „ majority in the Lower > louse and nearly half the members of the Senate. The season is rapidly approaching and near at hand when will be discussed political issues affecting the National, and Statu elections of 1870. Tnc Presidential election overshadows all others in ils importance at this time, not to our section alone, but to friends and defenders of Republican institutions throughout the Union. Though times may be hard, the very occasion of hard times is traceable to sources with which the people ought to be acquainted, and ot which i; is the mission of the AMERI CAN to inform them, and we think it is not in opportune or immodest to ak the attention of the masses of the people in its columns, which will he always full aud reliable. The sugges tion to Democrats and Conservatives ofTeimes see and States adjacent, to help extend its cir culation and enlarge its sphere of usefulness, is the more confidently made in view of the very grave political and financial questions which arc now agitating the public mind, and w hich will enter largely into the approaching Presidential canvass, and perhaps determine the character of the Government itself in the future. The American has nnueviatingly stood forth in defense of the Constitution, of the rights of the States, aud of individual lib erty. Now, when all these are assailed bv a powerful and corrupt centralized administra tion, it pledges itself anew to devote all its means and energies to political reform and the restorati< n of the old landmarks and limita tions of delegated authority and of the stand ard of official honor. By a law oi Congress which want into effect on the first of January, 1875, the publishers of daily newspapers are required at the time of ■nailing, to prepay all postage, which relieves the subscriber of the payment of postage at the office ol delivery.
