From articles that have floated ashore upon the Florida coast, it is supposed that she went down in the gale with all on board.

Jenkins and others, Committee , Etc. Gentlemen :— I am in the receipt of your letter inviting me to address the people of Barnesville on the political issues of the day, on Friday, the 31 of September. My prior engagements will prevent a compliance with vour request, but you can say to mv Barnes •ville friends that 1 am for Tom Norwood and good government. I know him to he both honest and capable, and too good a lawyer not to know that although the governor may make a contract with lawyers to represent the State, yet that officer cannot touch a dollar of the people’s money to pay such contracts until the general assembly shall have had an opportunity to judge of and pass upon the reasonableness or unreasonableness of such contracts, and to appropriate such an amount in payment therefor as in their judg ment tbs services are reasonably worth, and then the governor can draw his warrant for the amount so appropriated, and no more— for the constitution expressly declares that j “ no money shall be drawn from the treasury except by appropriations ma le by law.” Tom Norwood is too good a lawyer not to know that if the Governor of the State can make contracts with lawyers to pay them SIO,OOO for their services, and can then thrust his hands into the treasury and clutch out that amount and pay them without an appropria tion having been made therefor as required by t.Le constitution that he could make con tracts to pay lawyers $7)00,000 for fees, and thus bankrupt the people's treasury without as much as saying by your leave or tlie leave of their representatives. A man acting for him self in his individual capacity may make a contract with a lawyer for fees, and the lawyer will have a lien upon the money col lected, for the simple reason that the money belongs to him who made the contract, he having the power and authority to create a j lien upon his own money by his own contract, i hut Tom Norwood is too good a lawyer not Ito know that the governor has no power or authority whatever to make a contract with a lawyer and thereby create a lien on the people's money, and that the lawyer acquires ; no lien by any such contract until the general i assembly shall approve and lat-ify it. Making | contracts with lawyers by the governor, at i extravagant fees, is one thing, hut thrusting ! his hands into the people’s treasury and j clutching out their money to pay such fees without an examination or appropriation ; having been made therefor by the legislature, ! is another and very different thing which Tom I Norwood will never do. Torn Norwood has not held the (Trice of governor for the last four years, and did not leave his seat in that ! high office and travel ail over the country | clothed with all the power and patronage of ! the Stat e government for the purpose of stock ing a convention by the Boss Tweed process of primary elections with a majority of dele gates to vote for iiis nomination and for no body else; he did not crack his executive whip over that convention of stocked dele gates and compel them to remain stocked and vote for his nomination and nobody else on the assumed ground that his stocked dele gates represented a majority of the people, whereas not one-tenlh of the voting popula tion of the State had spoken at the Boss Tweed primary election. No, Tom Norwood lias not forced himself on the people by any such proceedings as that to vindicate himself from the alleged persecution of the legislature and judicial departments of the government worse than Lattimer ever endured, and it is to he hoped he never will, if his official record won't vindicate him, no frantic appeals to the people can. Very respectfully”, your obedient servant, lliram Warner. Mu. Editor: —Having been travelling around through Banks, Hall and Jackson counties very recently, and talking with the people, I thought it would be of some inter est to your readers to hear something fioru the people about the Congressional - race be tween Messrs. Bell and Speer, and I can as sure you that, from information obtained from the people in the country and lh towns, there is no tidlc wave roiling toward Speer, as his organs would have us believe, but. on the contrary, X find the people becoming aroused and enthused for the standard-bearer of the Democratic party —How. 11. I\ Bell. What persons I have met with who have changed since the last election, have changed from Speer to Bell. In one neighborhood I found four men who voted for Speer before that will now vote for the nominee. If mat ters are working in other counties as they are in those above named, my judgment is that the twenty-five hundred majority claim ed ior Mr. Speer will be fur the other candi date, viz : Mr. Bell. I found a great many life long Democrats and thinking men who told me that there never was a time when it was of more importance, to the party in this District to rally to the standard-hearer, as the party in the State was now threatened with disruption and ruin. No, Mr. Editor, Bell’s record in the army, where men's souls were tried, and his record in Congress are so deeply imbedded in the affections and minds of the people'of this District that Speer’s easy walk over the track, as claimed by the clerks in his newspaper establishments at Athens and Gainesville, is all a mistake. I also find that Mr. B. F. Suddath. candi date for State Senator, will sweep the Dis trict. liis candidacy being based on the re commendation of three hundred voters, at a time when it was thought that there would t>e no nominating convention in the District, makes his chances much better than Mr. Bush’s. Tho people think that when Mr. Suddath was recommended by the people of Banks as their choice for Senator, and offer ed to the other counties, it. was not right for one or two delegates to present the name of Mr. Bush. Colquitt is already elected where I have been. Citizen. Valuable Facts from a Safa Source. The affairs of this country have become so extended that it is only by a care full}' pre pared synopsis in the form of figures that one can hope to understand what is really going on. lion. A. R. Spofiford, the Librarian of Congress, is the only man who has the facil ities at his command for collecting complete national statist’es and he does it with the greatest care and accuracy. His latest is sue, “ The American Treasury of Facts,” has been sent us by Messrs. 11. FI. Warner & Cos., proprietors of the valuable Warner Safe Remedies. This book is a miniature cyclopedia in itself, containing, in addition to a vast amount of national matter, about all of value that has transpired in this coun try during tlie past year, and reflects credit upon the compiler as well as upon tho enter prise of Messrs. Warner & Cos., in selection it. beech Creek Glimpses- Messrs. Jackson & Oshields, with their steam saw and shingle machinery, are turn ing out lumber and shingles rapidly', anti of the best quality. This enterprise has long been needed in the community, and all should avail themselves of the opportunity to improve tlieir homesteads. Top-buggies are getting to be as common, and nearly as numerous, ns black gnats. They are as yet, however, not quite so great a nuisance. The Rev. Mr. Eakes talks from the pulpit with the bark on. And while the plain truths lie utters in regard to the degeneracy of so ciety are not altogether wholesome to many of our young bloods and “ fast” young ladles, he is nevertheless striking the key note, aftd we hope to see it sounded from every pulpit in the country. Recent continual showers have checked the rapid opening of cotton, yet many patches are white with the “fleecy king.” The road from Oshields’ bridge to I)r. DeLaperriere’s is in very bad condition, and if we have been correctly informed has never been worked since the bridge was built. Repeated complaints, both private and public, have been made in regard to the road, and it is time for 3omc action in the premises. • Politics at a standstill. Salary-Grab Grant salary Fraudulent Bond Norwood, the choice of a minority of the minority', spells and pronounces the first syllable of his name the same as Uncle Jonathan Norcross, and we predict for the champion of the insurrectionists the same in glorious defeat as befell that worthy. Mr. L. J. Johnson is now in Gainesville. Sometime since Mr. J. had an operation per formed on his leg, which was in bad condition from an old wound received in the war. We learn that the operation was exceedingly painful, but that Air. Johnson is now easy and doing well. We trust that he may finaliv recover from his injury. Bingham Pendergrass lias the finest colt wo ever saw, and it will not be long before he takes Ins place among the “ fast ones” of the country. Bill Wages and A. P. Pendergrass caught two fine beavers in Oshields’ bottom last week. They will move their traps lower down the river. Glad to sec Dick Medlin back with the New-. Dick is a valuable adjunct to any newspaper. Glad indeed, also, are we to see that the News has again donned home colors, and the people should stand by our county paper henceforth, and not compel its pub lishers to resort to a “ patent outside’’ to keep agoing. The candidates are riding through our District now. Messrs. Ilaynie, Sr., and Sey mour were with us last Saturday. We compliment Gosa on his last array of items. The writer will be “on the wing” for some time, but you shall have a line now and then. Fed. A. Gogue. Apple Valley Dols. Several changes have been made in the Valley in the last few days. Mr. W. S. Mat thews has sold his farm to Mr. B. T. Shirley, of Franklin county. Mr. Matthews being too good a citizen, and not being inclined to leave us, has purchased a part of.Mrs. Greek’s farm and the town property of Pro (V Erwin/ upon which 113 will build a commodious dwelling soon. As no account of the Lazy Club’s conven tion has appeared in your paper, front the fact that the Secretary is too lazy to write it up, I will give you a short sketch of its pro ceedings. After the usual preliminaries in organizing such bodies, the Chair announced the fact that the Convention was ready for business. A committee of three was appointed to pre pare business. During the absence of the committee the body was entertained by some very eloquent v.hitling. The committee pre sented the following resolutions: 1. we pledge ourselves to the support of the nominees of this Club, provided every body can get out his “pet” and it does not require any effort on our part to elect him. 2. Our platform—Greenbacks without la bor. We invite all persons who like ease and quiet, and especially G reenbaekers, Dem ocrats, Independents, and the balance of mankind, to set flat down on this platform and save the country from—we don’t know what. 0. That Maysville is the pioneer Club of this county. We therefore accord to it the first place on our ticket —that of selecting a candidate for Senator who is in full sympathy with the principles of our Order, and would suggest that they select three—one from each county —and that they serve a week at a time, so there will be no grumbling. 4. That we request W. J. Go3s, of Har mony Grove, and W. M. Morgan, of Apple Valley, to take the field as candidates to rep resent this count}' in the next Legislature. 5. In order to make things look convention like, we recommend that there be a minority candidate brought out, provided there can be one found who is not too lazy to accept. G. That there be a meeting called at an early day to bring out a Congressman and recommend Bill Arp to run for Governor. And we recommend Clayton, in Rabun coun ty, as the most suitable place to hold said meeting. All of which was adopted by a majority of two and a half votes on the 187th ballot. Now, Mr. Editor, as your Harmony Grove man is out of babies, let him write up a boom on his experiences in the campaign. Vande Linctum. Something for Musicians. The August No. of the Southern Musical Journal , published by Ludden & Bates, Southern Music House, Savannah, Ga., has besides its great variety of musical reading matter, Mendelssohn’s beautiful song, “ The Frst Violet,” which true musicians will ap preciate ; “ Pleasant Thoughts,” mazuka, by Runnel, easy and pleasing ; and the lovely sacred melody, ‘‘Flee as a Bird,” which has given comfort to so many sin-sick souls.

C3 I 20 RC* I A * EWS. A countryman in Dalton was buying his first glass of soda water the other day. As the foaming beverage was handed to him. he remarked : " I wish you’d skim offthe sknm, boss. I ain’t paying for no froth, you bet.” The Milledgeville Recorder records a re markable freak of a Baldwin county man, in his crazy thirst for drink. After pawning every article of personal property he could dispose of, he tore the lightning rod from the chimney of his house, and actually pawned that to get money to buy liquor. George Thompson, colored, was tried in the Superior Court of Walton county last week | for the murder of Jeff Patrick, also colored, at Social Circle on the 27th of February last. The result was a verdict of guilty with a re commendation to mercy, and the prisoner •was sentenced to the penitentiary for life. According to the Sumter Republican, the cotton business in Americus has been quite brisk for the season. Up to the hour of six on Friday last, seven hundred and fifty-two j bales of the new staple had rolled into the warehouses. This is a pretty good showing at that place. The price received, ten and a half cents per pound, makes the farmers feel happy. The Dublin Gazette states that a few nights since Mr. Ford ham, a barkeeper at Stephens ville, Wilkinson county, was walking in his sleep and fell from a second story window and badly hurt himself. He dropped on an old table which was lying with its legs upwards, or the fall perhaps would have not been so in jurious and painful. The Dublin Gazette announces the death by lightning of Mr. Hugh Gill is, a very old and highly respected citizen of Montgomery county, lie was in the field with his little son pulling fodder when the disasteroccurred. His slices were tom from his feet, and one of them has not yet been found, llis little son was knocked down by a splinter from a tree which was struck at the same time. “While in Walton la3t week,” says the Athens Watchman . “ we learned that valuable discoveries of asbestos, corundum and gold have lately been made on the premises of Thos. Stone and C. P. Blasingame, in that county. The specimens are very pretty in deed. If the new mines should turn out to bo as rich as is thought, the new railroad will have ample employment for some time to come.” The Monroe Advertiser says that Mr. J. D. Proctor, of that county, has been for a few years past developing a particular kind of cotton, with a view of getting an improved seed that will give an increased yield. Careful attention has already given excellent results. He exhibited eleven bolls last week that con tained eighty-six locks. This is nearly eight locks to the boll, when the average is four locks. The great benefit of using such im proved seed is readily apparent. Speaking of Colonel J. C. Clements, who has been nominated for Congress by the Democracy of the Seventh District, the Rome Tribune says : “ Colonel Clements is a native of Walker county, a lawyer of marked ability, and will, if elected, prove himself a faithful and efficient Representative. He will enter the canvass nerved for the conflict, and will leave no stone unturned to carry the Demo cratic banner to victory. His friends and the party are sanguine of success, and hope to un cover and defeat certain well laid plans which the politicians have laid to cause the canvass to be barren of results. Ilis trium phant election is confidently anticipated.” Says the Newnan Herald: “ Saturday last was a lively day in Coweta in the cutting and shooting business. Wm. Powers, in a quar rel out in Citesville between him and Joe Wilkinson, as they were going out of town Saturday afternoon, cut his opponent in the nrro with a knife, and was bound over under a bond to appear before the City pouijciL for tria,lr At Sharpsburg, Joe Lumpkin stabbed a negro man whose name we have not learn ed—but understand that the negro is badly if not dangerously cut. He had collared Mr. Jack Lumpkin, Joe’s father, when Joe attacked him with a knife. We have not learned any of the particulars. Scab Mc- Combs shot Alf Ector, colored, in a difficulty which occurred between them two miles from town Saturday afternoon. Ector, we learn, is believed to be mortally wounded.” The I)eK;ilb News says: “ A negro man brought in from the country a fine looking lot of watermelons and offered them for sale on the streets. Johnny Scruggs bought one, out it open and found it green. lie went back to the negro and asked him to replace it. Tiiis the melon man refused to do, and the fun began. Scruggs took his stand be side the melons, with a half of tiic green melon in his hand, and warned all comers against buying, exhibiting his as a sample of the lot. Saturday was a public day at the Mountain, and melons were in demand, but so successful was Scrugg’s plan that only two or three were sold during the entire day. • From early morn till dewy eve’ Scruggs nursed his wrath and his watermelon, and turned away scores, if not hundreds, of would be buyers. A crowd gathered around the spot, and whenever anew man turned away he cheered t lie plucky boy and laughed at the annoyed darkey. The latter offered to re place any melon that proved bad, or return the money; but the silent testimony of the green sample was powerful, and they wouldn’t sell. When we left late in the afternoon, all things remained in statu quo —the melons unsold, the crowd hilarious, the negro mad and anxious, and Scruggs serene arid persis tent.” A correspondent of the Athens Chronicle writes that paper as follows : “ Bartow coun ty during the past year has shiped six thou sand tons of manganese, valued at $lO per ton. From this one mineral, therefore, $60,000 has been added to the wealth of that connty. The specimens of this mineral from Monroe county, we are informed by Dr. Little, are very much inferior to those of Bartow. The former yields seventy-two per cent of pure manganese. The writer has seen specimens from Madison county which, while not tested, appeared to be nearly pure. He has also seen nearly absolutely pure specimens of plumbago from the same county. These min erals are sold low, of course, but when found are easily mined, and are in large quantities. A large deposit of either is better than a gold mine for profit. It was a great misfortune that the Geological Bureau was discontinued last fall. It was one of the most valuable departments of the State. Our part of the State has never been examined systematic ally, and we are satisfied that when it is done very many sources of wealth to our people will be developed. We will take occasion to refer to the matter of this geological sur vey at another time, believing that it will greatly profit the State, aud particularly our own immediate section.” T. FLEMING. J.

OFFICE AND WORKS ON CORNER OF LOYD AND ALABAMA STREETS, Opposite Georgia Railroad Depot. Orders Solicited and Promptly Filled. Prices Reasonable. Terns Cai I Address D. N. JTJDSON, Atlanta, Ga. To the Voters of Jackson Cos. Having been solicited by man}’’kind friends to submit my name to the people a9 a candi date for the next Legislature, I adopt this means to make my candidacy known. Believing that the people have a right to know what are the sentiments of those who aspire to represent them, I define my posi tion. as to certain matters, as follows : First. I will support, if elected, Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown for United States Senator, in place of Gen. John B. Gordon, resigned. Second. I will support the best measures, in my judgment, submitted to the General Assembly, to carry out both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, which provides that “There shall be a thorough system of common schools for the education of children in the elementary branches of an English education only, as nearly uniform as practi cable,” and that “The schools shall he free to all the children of the State.” A free school system is made the policy of the State by its organic law. The liberal purposes of this policy are, that all the chil dren of the State, both white and colored, shall have the opportunity afforded them to be taught the elementary branches of au English education ; that there shall be schools enough, and terms holding long enough, to enable all the children to secure these ad vantages, and that such schools shall be free to all the children of the State. Third, Believing that the present system of farming out the convicts of the State is subject to great abuses; has exposed our people to severe criticisms, and has given occasion for serious charges of inhumanity towards this unfortunate class of our people, I shall use my best exertions to utterly abolish it, at the earliest practicable day, or else impose upon those who control and manage the convicts such conditions as will effectually prevent any cruel and oppressive treatment. The sexes should be separated ; necessary clothing, wholesome and plentiful food should be provided for them; they should have comfortable quarters—such a3 are consistent with their safe keeping ; proper medical skill in sickness, and moral and re ligious instruction. And for every failure to provide thus for the convicts, there should bo annexed such penalties as, when once in flicted, will prevent any future violation of such humane regulations. Our State is too grand and noble to expose herself to the im putation of being cruel and oppressive merely for the sake of a little money ; to estimate crime and its inhumane punishment as one of her resources for revenue. That the con victs of the State can be worked without loss to the State, the management in other States abundantly illustrate ; and that, too, without a foundation for serious comblaint as to the healthful and moral treatment of the crimi nals. Fourth. Serious complaints in other com munities and some dissatisfaction in our own county as to the working of the present jury system demonstrate that there are imperfec tions in the jury law. Our own Jury Com missioners—too faithful to slight a public duty, too high-minded to be influenced by personal considerations in the discharge of a public trust—have failed to give the satis faction that their high character as men, ard their patient labors in this matter as officers of the law, entitled them to receive. It is no fault of the Commissioners. No commission composed of five men, however well the names may be distributed over the county, can, with reason, be expected to know that all of those who are selected as jurors corme up to the requirements of the law, or that they have placed in the jury box all those who, on account of their intelligence and uprightness, are entitled to a place on the jury list. Th?3 law needs amendment. Other matters might be mentioned, but I shall not risk wearying the reader. I shall not hesitate, both in private and in public, as occasion may offer, to present my views frankly and fully. I will take pleasure in addressing the peo ple whenever an opportunity ir. afforded me on the subjects hereinbefore alluded to, and other matters, the subject of legislation.
