Mr. Editor:
I note in your last, issue a commit,
ideation signed G. W. 0. M. He is
very much opposed to ilio repeal ot
the homestead and relief laws, be
cause it would open up that curse oi
the human family, the credit system
Does he intend to say that the home
stead and relief laws have done away
with the credit system l When, 1
ask, in all the history of the*country
has there ever been more reckless
trading on the credit system than
since the enactment of the homestead
aud relief laws ? When has there
ever been so much extortion on one
hand and betrayal of confidence on
the other ? And why is this ? It is
because those laws were not intended
for honest men, but lor such as feel
no moral obligat.on to pay their
debts.
A strictly conscientious nutn will
not contract debts which be lias no
reasonable probability ol paying and
in event of failure cheerfully lets his
property go to sayisfy his creditors.
Therefore, it is very easy to see that
those laws were never intended for
the good of the community at large
but to favor that class of people who
arc ever ready to betray that confi
dence which by fair nromises they
but too oiten succeed in having plac
ed in them. Now is it s)range that
when there is a refuge made especi
ally f..i this class of persons that ev
ery man should look With distrust
upon his neighbor, and it' lie gives
credit at all it will be at ruinous rates.
And yet this is the condition of affairs
which steins to suit Mr. G. W. C.
M.’s peculiar relish. He does not
want any laws to compel those hu
man vamphes who are sucking the
lite blood of every person whom they
can lull to sleep with their fair prom
ises, to pay their just debts.
1. say away with all your unjust one
sided laws which are made to oppress
the honest aud to screen the design
ing, who aro try ng to get their
neighbor’s broperty without compen
sation. Dr. Sin Hammers.
BSadictil State Convention.
Macon Telegraph & Messenger.
The Radical State Convention was
held in Macon, on Wednesday, 17th
inst.
Jesse A. Glenn, Esq., (white) ot
Dalton, was elected temporary chair
man, and confirmed also as the per
manent presiding officer of the con
vention.
Mr: Glenn did his best to discharge
the difficult task imposed upon him,
and succeeded ns well as any other
man could under the circumstances'.
Bat it would liavo been as easy to
manage one of Sitting Bull’s council
dances as to control that piebald as
semblage.
The number of delegates was not
large, and the proceedings were all
manipulated by the handful of white
Radical ring masters who were for
the most part Federal office-holders,
or those in quest of the loaves and
fishes.
The big guns were Bon Conly,
Markham, Bryant, Hargrove and
Sam Gove.
Anioug the lesser pale skinned lu
minaries, appeared S. Wise Parker,
Fitzpatrick, Postmaster Glover, Mr.
Bond, Duncan Jordan and divers
other postmasters who dared not
stay away.
BUENA VISTA, MARION COUNTY, G A., AUGUST 25, 1373,
It was a sorry sight to sec this
sprinkling of Anglo Saxons suiting
to influence tire credulous negroes
for solely selfish purposes to align
themselves against their best friends
and employers, and in behalf of a
Government which lias robbed black
and white and brought the country
to the verge of bankruptcy, but we
shall waste no words upon them.
Jeff .Tong was the head centre ol
his color, though Dovcaux, Harrison
and several other sharp halt breeds
and darkies were on hand. The
crowd, taowever, was inky black,
awfully ignorant and very sleepy
headed.
Same of the scenes were racy be.
yond description, and it was ovi lei*
ih.it a hundred antagonisms aud
feuds were at work among them.
After much ado, as related in the
report. Jonathan Norcross was nom
inated for Governor by a vote of three
ayes and one negative voice.
This was all the enthusiasm that
could be evoked on the gubernatorial
question.
One feature of the platform which
was presented denounced the call cl'
a constitutional convention,
Dut to. our great surprise, Post
master Hargrove, of Rome, moved to
strike out that clause, and followed;
up ids objections in a forcible spo* eh
When the vote came to bo taken j
the majority in opposition to a Con-1
stitmional Convention was only seven. I
This will surprise our Atlant ;
friends who counted upon the .Uadi-1
cal vote solid on that issue.
Asa QUI TrudUiosi i .ItfaSiosa::!.
There an old triuli! ion c f if a • j
hornet that lie was once standing un-j
der a paint tree and teaching his 10l- i
lowers, saying :
‘’He who Codies Iho naked shall j
be clothed by God with the green
robes of Paradise. If a good nun j
op.es with iris right bund and con-j
coals it from his left he overcomes all
things.’’ While he said these words
a man drew near and cried: “Oil,
Prophet, my mother, Sad, is dead;
what is the best aim I can give away
for her soul ?”
Mahomet bethought him of the
panting heats of the desert, and said:
“Dig a well for her and give water
to the thirsty.” Tile man dug a
well, and said: “This is for ray
mother.” I do not know whether
Mr. John Buskin ever mot with this
old story, but he has just performed
a kind and gentle action which has
reminded me of it. A litde way from
Croydon, near London, there has been
a diriy, marshy litde pond, which is
now an exquisitely clear spring of
running water. Mr. Ruskin has ex
pended live hundred pounds in mak
ing this spring, winch is not far from
the home of his childhood, and sur
rounded it with trees and flowers
and named it, afscr his mother, Mar-,
garet’s Well. On the neat tablet
over it are inscribed the following
words: “In obedience to the Giver
of Life, of brooks and fruits that feed
it, ol the peace that ends it, may this
well be kept, sacred for the service of
men, llocks and flowers, and by
kindness be called Margaret's Wed. '

The Radical Convention fo: the Ist
District of Georgia,met in Snamwn,
and nominated J. E. Bn am lbr Con
gres-t. The Savannah News says
that his nominati m widens the split
in the party, as many of the Custom
House ring who supported him in the
last election, utterly refuse to do so
now.

We boldly venture the assertion,
that if a fair aud honest exhibit, of
every mming section of the continent
were made, giving actual outlays
and yoiid, that none can show u larg
er percentage upon tlio capital atul
labor employed than is being made
here at iime, and that none can
show a o,dter exhibit in the way of
| healthful Jm 1 legitims to mining than
exists hero. While we do not pre
tend to compare daily and monthly
I yields with the world-renown Com
stock ‘■Consolidated Virginia,” and
“California,” with their investment
of hundred of millions and the vast
sums expended in their development,
wo do contend the actual profits here
wili show as large a percentage upon
the capital employed as at any one
of them.
The mills throughout this section
run with their accustomed regulari
ty, and the increase of veil !.-; each
| successive week is a noticeable and
.significant fact.
Tito DENNING MINE,
with its heavy It) stump iniH, since it
commenced running on ore from the
new cut, has steadily improved, and
the quantity and quality ot the on,
improves as the cut penetrates the j
body of the hil>, and reveals mass- - j
of pay ore apparently inexhausiiblc, j
which mast, with their perfect sys-;
tern for rapidly and cheaply handling ,
these masses, insure them a long and
successful ran.
THIt HAND MINE.

mine applies to the Hand, with i; -

THE I’INdLLY MINE,

and tticir cut is now la splendid or

lar casualty. The masses of ore un
covered aud in tight in their cut. i
literally incomputable. The lowest
estimate places tlio amount at quite
a sufliyiflnoy to keep the mill running
at the njte of one hundred tons a day
(which b the utmost capacity of the
mill) foij twelve months running con
stantly (or that length of time.
Reside the ore in this cut, ar

quality. Fiom these sources alone,

enough in sight to employ them for
many years to come. ,

renders work in the holt perfectly
sure. The shaft was run down as
far as it could be on account of foul air,
from which more than SIOO,OOO was
taken out, and when abandoned was
still very rich. In a short time they
expect to clean out tlio old shaft, aud
in all probability will find the vein as
rich as ever.
TIIE I.AWREXCE MINE
still maintains its high character.
For two or three weeks past tiioy
have been drifting Col. Moore’s old
works, but on Tuesday night they
struck now work and are getting out
a splendid lot of ore that shows gold
beantifilly. This mill has-been run
ning regularly ever since, and their
plates shows that their “dean vp"
tliia week wiil be quite equal to any
former since they started.
TIIE PIGEON ROOST MILL

ore from the Moore vein, and their

mining purposes, which will very
greatly increase their yield.

The work of re-opening the Holy
Field vein still progresses, though
necessarily very slowly on account of
the hardness of tho rock. With ail
the hands that can get at it, they
can only blast about six inches a day,
am! ns they have about seven feet to
go before they expect to strike it, it
will be toward the lust of the month
before they can get down to tho
vein.
There are other operations wo
wished to have noticed, but as this
report is so extended we wiil defer
notice of them until another time.
GERMAN, POLISH AHD HUN GA
IT AN BEAUTIES.
German girls arc often charming
ly pretty, with dazzling complexion,
abundant, beautiful hair, and clear,
lovely eyes, but the splendid matron,
the sound, healthy, well developed
woman, who nas lost no grain of
beauty, and gained a certain magnifi
cent maturity, such as we see daily
with daughters who might well be
her younger sisters —of such women
the Fatherland has few specimens to
show. The Polish ladies have a
special, vivid, delicate, spirited,
haunting loveliness, with grace, dis
tinction, and elegance in their limbs
and features that is all their own;
you cannot call them fragile, but
they aro of so lino a fibre and so del
ineate a coloring that they only just
escape that appellation. Hungarian
women are of a more robust and
substantial build, with dark hair and
complexion, fine, flashing eyes, and
pronounced type; and who that re
member the women ofLintz and Vien
na will refuse them a first prize ?
They have the most delicate articu
lated joints of any people in tho
world. Tho junction of hand and
wrist, of foot and ankle, oi the neck
with the back and shoulders, is what
our neighbor would call “adorable.”
But, atlas, that it should be sc; tho
full, gracious figure—types at once
of strength and elegance—the sup
ple, slender waists, the dainty little
wrists and hands, become all too
soon hopelessly flat from persistent
idleness and luxury of the ncverloss,
unoccupied lives of these graceful la-'
dies.
Tlto following conversation re
cently took place between two city

“Lookliyar, Sam, kin you tell mo

red bug gets on a white pusson Jie
can see howto work and goes right
to business, but when lie gets on a
nigger, he thinks it is night and
goes right straight ter sleep. Ain’t
i right ?”
