Politics anti the Country.
We agree with the St. Louis
Republican, that it is a cause ot
great congratulation that whilo the
political caldron is boiling furiously
at Washington, and \v Idle a resi¬
dent ol mat city during the past
two months might probably imag¬
ine that the world was being turn d
unside down, the excitement does
not extend to the country at lai’ge.
Phis latter, it truthfully remarks,
s utterly unaffected in its real life
■ iy the complications at the capital
— the mortal quarrel between the
President and Senator Conkltng,
she stubborn tight in the Senate
oetweei^ the democrats and repub¬
licans, the Mahone bargain and the
lelayed confirmations. Of course
here is a lively interest felt in New
Turk over tno Garfielil-Conkling
rupture, and in Virginia about the
outcome ot Mahone-s tangenlieal
experiment; but the country is at
perfect repose. It does not feel a
single emotion of apprehension. It
does not give tho faintest response
to the uproar at Washington, li
is busy buying', selling, building,
plowing, planting, travelling, con„
eeiving new enterprises, organizing
new schemes of production anil in
lerchange, substituting short cuts
lor long routes, reaching the Paoif
ic at new points, piercing Mexico
by anticipation, and spreading the
magical influence of modern forces
uvor regions hitherto left to soli¬
tude and inaction.
The country, indeed, feels and
exhibits a thrill of animation and
even of excitement, but it does not
come from wrangling at the cupital;
it is the thrill of a new prosperity.
There is improvement pereepdble
everywhere. The old causes, real
and artificial, of discord between
the North and South, have utterly
disappeared. The sections arc
satisfied with otic another'. Tho
concord between the states is be¬
coming tnoro cordial every day.
All sections of the land are so
prosperous that each imagines Hs
prospetity to be special and excep¬
tional. The cdtmtry is in i oj
money and in rapidly ltnerging
from debts that have burdened ii
(or sixteen years. Onr exports are
exceeding our imports at the rate
$285,000,000 a year, and we
have scarcely disposed of one
enormous crop of grain and cotton
before a now one, equally enormous
is promised in the ocean of emerald
now spreading over twenty-five
degrees of latitude. A people are
never so happy anil contented as
when so absorbed it) their pursuits
as to fortret, politics—and that is
exactly the cunditiuii of our people
at this time. This is indeed a grat¬
ifying picture, and the more grati¬
fying because it ia true. AYu arc
also specially glad to believe that
the South, of all sections of the
country, is pre-eminently in the
happy condition desbribed. The
people are beginning to realize
that politics per se is a very un¬
profitable employment, and # tbat
with wealth secured,public influence
will follow naturally. So they are
bending their energies towards
getting rich, and what is more, are
in a lair way of accomplishing
their object.

HAMILTON, GA„ FRIDAY, MAY C J 0,1881.
>* The. Gypsies.
The Coluuibns 'limes improves
upon the weddins least of the Pro
gressive Age ia tho following
style:
Last evening the GypsteS cele¬
brated titeir second annual. Tho
spot selfecied was near by tho one
chosen last, that was the glad ush¬
ering in of their existence, just a
twelve mouths since. It was near
a new found spring, gushing front
tho foot of a 'beech grown bank
that, wound itself laughingly over
the pebles to the moon-lit river
shortly after the glorious King of
the East had westered far-a-down
and the mauve-tinted twilight had
assumed its soft inner sea-shell
sleDdings, the gypsies tripod.pot
was bung over the burning em¬
bers and amidst the wild and gros
tesqtie scenery of Chattahoochee,
the Baud began to hold high carni¬
val. Seething and boiling was the
order ol the night, and each and
every one stood around dancing
until the “elixer of life” might, bo
skimmed therefrom, and as the light
troth was fortunately dipped up
each and every one repaired to a
flower-decked pavilion where Terp¬
sichore held sway, and to the
enchanting strains, setter than three
made by Apollo’s lute strung with
his golden hair, danced by the weir
glare of the camp fire until the pale,
chaste moon like a ship in the heav¬
ens threw upon the enchanted scene
her silver hues. Then the custom,
(more honored in the breach than
the observance among Gypsies)
took place—champagne corks began
to fly, and Lunas rays sparkled
among the leaves, with their silver
sheen—and minglea with the gold¬
en sparkles of Madame Gliquot’s,
as the sweet wind did whistle
through the trees. But this could
not always last, Terpsichore again
called and held sway until Aihenae
—goddess of light—forewarned
that “uight would soon put out
her candles, and that joooinb day
would soon be tip-toeing o’er the
mystic mountain tops” and then Vo
home in such a drive! It was such
a night as that “Dido stood upon
the wild sea banks and waved her
love to come again to’ Carthage,’’
soft, cool and deliciou-; and thus
amidst these delights ended the
second picnic ot tlie Gyp-ics- M i.
Jos. P. Kyle was the ‘charg de
affaire’of the evening, and light
royally did lie sustain bis place.
And right w elt loo vas lie repaid,
as lie tni-t the lovely smiles and
ovetwhelming encomium- 1 ol not
only Georgia’s Direst daughter*,
b u those, too, ol Pennsylvania and
the good Old Dominion.
An English journal of good standing
undertakes to inform its readers that Go -
eial Mahone, who was formerly a demo
erat has been promised that if lie will se.l
out to tbe republicans l.c will be made
Borgean t-at-A rms of the United States
Senate, notwithstanding that his on'y i: -

Town Improvements.
A number of our people are preparing
to build residences this summer. Col.
Mobley is having ctio framed, which will
bo erected on Mill s’root, nu tho corner
of his lot near the j lit. Mr. Irviuo will
build near Captain Dundy's nod Mr ful
let’ thinks of building Su fr :nt of Judge
Kimbrough’s. Thero is not a vao..nt
house in town and reals nro very high.
Several other oilmens think of building,
and thero Is no qnastion but that a few
throe or four roomed duel i: gs,’ eligibly
located, would prove a hands' iuo invest
mont. There is nothin;; which oan turu
bnck tho tide of prosperity that is fliw
ing into Hamilton, although the lack of
enterprise upon tho part of her ciezans
may chock and retard it, ta so mo extent.
Much has been done iu (bo improvement
of the town, but little that was not al¬
most imperatively demanded. Twenty
now dwellings would hardly moot tho
demands upon tbo town for more holtso
room, and yet wo aro likely to sea liux
suimuor pass without seeing tbo demand

“Secreta j Wiadom's announcement,
