THE CAMPAIGN IN THE 7th.
The vigorous campaign inaugurated
by the contestants for a seat in the
46th Congress from the 7th Congres
sional District goes bravely on, and
both sides claim to be sure Of the elec
tion. Deports of meetings as published
by partisan newspapers are to be ta
ken with many grains of allowance, —
There are a great many circumstances
that indicate a change from Dr. Felton
to Judge Lester. Dr. Felton's declin
ing to stump the district with the
Judge; his request that no more per
sdnalities be used, establishes the fact
that the Doctor made a mistake in at
tacking Judge Lester at Oartersville,
and to restore his fallen fortunes has
been his aim since that Unfortunate
meeting. Friends of Dr. Felton Write
the Atlanta Constitution to f ‘tone
down” on the Doctor, since he is going
to be elected ; but that able newspa"
per reads them a well considered arti
ile on the status of the contest, and
lefusesto “tone down." Judge Les
ter is warmly enlisted in the cause.—
lie addresses a card through the (JOn
stitutioft askiDg his fiifends in the <3is*
iriet fur information and suggestions
for the belter management of the can
vass. Reports of his speeches show a
blind full bent on succcess.
This contest is a very important one,
and should receive the attention of ev"
ery intelligent citizen of Georgia. In
no other district in the State lias the
independent movement so firm a foot
hold. No where else in the State has
the cause a champion like Dr. FeltOn,
and since prominent Georgians about
Atlanta write the Postmaster General
to enlist Mr. Hayes and unite in pub
lishing an Independent daily newspa
per in Atlanta, for the purpose of
spreading the seditions sentiment,
Democrats cannot be too wary; It
means the up-building of the defunct
republican party; hud the propagation
bf false doctrines—doctrines frdught
with mischief, and contrary to the es"
tabhshed principles of the Democracy.
THIRD district.
The interest in the Congressional
lace in this District is beginning to
warm up, and considerable interest is
being manifested on the part of friends!
for the various aspirants in the eastern
portion of the district. We cannot tell
who tile cqming man will be, but of
this we feel assured, that the question
buce settled by the approaching coil"
vention, it will be filial, and we enter
tain no fears of an independent. While
many of our people are anxious about
the success of the man of their choice,
yet we feel confident that should the
Convention see proper to nominate sorno
Other; they will modt graciously yield
tb tile action of the convention, an!
go for the nominee heart arid soul. We
are prOud to say that we think we
have no Dr. Feltons in the Third.
Horse racing is to be made one of
the leading attractions at the North
Georgia Fair Association in Atlanta
in October. The pUrdus so far foot up

these there will probably be two hotel

TIIE EASTMAN TIMES.
Hie name which heads tins article is
very dear to us— : ndccd had grown to
be in so short a time (arid we suppose
naturally enough* too) apart of our
vCry being ; and when or wherever our
ears hear it; or our eyes see it, our at
tention is at once eagerly fixed. Thus
it Was on Friday evening 12th inst.,
when one of the e litors of the “Weekly
Chronicle;" upon proceeding to read
the same in a clear and audible voice
in his leader read as his subject (t The
Eastman Times." And now. gentle
reader, if you will not charge us with
egotism or immodesty, you may after
a little while read that paper. That
it is a much appreciated compliment to*
the Times, we gratefully
as well as its endorsement by other
members ot the club,* and for whose
opinions we entertain the highest
gard, who came to us after the reading
and assured us that the paper' as resfd
but reflected their own sentiments in
reference to it,.- And now for fear of
being considered just a Tittle egotisti
cal or irottfodest,. we submit the paper.
Here it is verbatim et literatim:
“l haVe rarely, if ever, acted the
part of tho flatterer. The older I get
the more do I detest it. But an hon
est, frank approval erf that which nier
its commendation is certainly not flat
tery. On the Crther hand this is p< r
feetly in order at anytime, especially if
that to be approved be of a public
character, and dependent upon public
support; While I do not think it
proper to tell a man, to his face, of his
merits or excellencies, at all times, I
am not one of those who think that a
man must die before attention can bo
called to that which may be' worthy of
imitation or approval in his life and
character. Nothing is more encour.*
aging to a truly noble man or woman
than to see that their cotemporaries
appreciate their rectitude and integri
ty. Nothing so assures them of a good
name among the living when they shall
have passed away forever.
Acting upon this principle, 1 have
determined to lay upon the pages of
the “Weekly Chronicle’' a well-deserv
ed mention of our enterprising neighs
bor, Tiie Eastman Times.
'‘There is a power in the press."—
Day after day does the touch of these
words receive emphasis. But that
power, like every Other; may be wield
ed for good or ill. Every day that ini"
nierise power is used for good or ill.—
The press is a channel through which
immorality and corruption, as well as
morality and purity are forever flow
ing. That section or corrfmtfnity which
can boast of a puffc press is indeed fa"
vdred. Who can point to a single ar
ticle or paragraph in any issue ot Ihe
Eastman Times, under iis present edi
tor, either from his peffor scissors that
would flush the cheek of modesty, or
offend the ear of innocence itself. And
if a newspaper is the representative of
a people (who can deny it) we may
not feel ashamed though the Timfs
should show itc face in every commu"
nity and country on earth. If objec
tion could be laised to anything hi the
management Of the paper it would be
only the obliging nature of the editor
that leads him to admit into his col
ufflns such contributions as as he could
not himself entirely approve. Asa
local paper, giving local news, watch"
ful of local interests, I think it has no
superior in our State. It gives forth
no Uncertain sound in defence of truth
in politics, in morals or in religious
principles.
In the newspaper memoirs of Wni.
Ctilleu Bryant, recently deceased, he is
everywhere applauded for his efforts
and his success in maintaining a pure
press!. His ififluenefe in this reSpefct has
been ffelt throughout the United States.
Let us not wait until our gentlemanly
editor sleeps in his grave before we
express our appreciation of his efforts
to give us a pure literature, and to the
Outride public So worthy a representa
tive of us.'

LETTER from GAINESVILLE.
Our Arrival -Climate—"Water-
Altitude—The Springs—-Excur
sion to Charlotte, N< C.
Mr. Editor— We arrived in this very
pleasant little city on the 16tb inst.,
via. the Central, Southwestern, and
the Atlanta and Richmond Air Line
Railroads. Representatives from the
various public and private boarding
houses of the place were in waiting at
the station, ami if each house did not
add to the number of its guests* it cer
tainly was not in‘ Consequence of a lack
of zeal on the part of the drummers.—
What is more annoying to the dusty,
Weary,* sleepy traveler, specially such
as have a place in view, than to be
thus importuned, teased and seized by
indetatigable drummers ?
We are very pleasantly quartered
at the Brown House, which is one mile
from the Air Line Road, in the centre
of the city and fronting the court
house square. Near by runs the street
railway, with the Air Line Road and
the Gower Hotel and Springs aster"
minal points. Mr. M. C. Few, propri"
etor of the Brown House, and his lan
dy, give every reasonable attention to
their guests,, while trie roo f ms arc large
and cool, and the table supplied by the
Atlanta market and the country
around.
Asa summer resort, Gainesville
needs no praise, as its character is es
tablished. The salubrity of the climate
is unsurpassed, and the water is as
pure, eool and freestone as ean be found
anywhere. To those just from the
region of Savannah, the water is eS"
pecially attractive and enjoyable. How
cool and refreshing these days of ah
most unparalleled heat 1
In addition to a change in tempera
ture and water, there is another agen
cy brought into play by altitude, viz :
atmospheric pressure; The weight of
the atmosphere at the sea level is
equal to fifteen pounds to the square
inch. There are about 2,000 square
inches of surface oil a man of ordinary
size, and therefore there is* at the sea
level, an atmospheric pressure of 30,000
pounds on a common person. At an
elevation of 1,222 feet—the altitude of
Gainesville—there are 1,222 pounds
less of atmospheric pressure than at
the sea level. And while few persons
—if any—outside of the medical pro
fession understand the effect ot a
change o'f altitude upon diseases, few,
if any, invalids friil to realize the effect.
Even those of us wno are sound and
well, breathe freer and feel hotter than
wheu so near the sea, and are half in
clined to believe that something ailed
us ere we came hence, and we k lew
it not.
Then there are the springs—one o!
the most attractive features of this
healtli"restoring section of our State.
However* is not their record “abfOad
in the land 5 ' in the certificates of skil
ful physicians and grateful Invalids re
stored to health ? One mite from
Gainesville, at the terminus of the
street railway; are the celebrated Gow
er Springs, discovered in 1873, and
owned bf Mr. E. N. Gower. The cura
tive power of these waters have been
tested in many cases of general debili"
ty, nervous proslfatioh; torpidity of
the liver, chronic diarrhoea, ueuralgia.
etc.; with results which sustain, in part
at least, the celebrity of the springs.
For the information Of subhofyour
invalid readers as ma} r contemplate
coming to this place for health, I will
Say that upon an analysis of the water
ot the Guwdr Springs, the following
constituents were found : Carbonic
acid, hydrosulphuric acid, e irbOnatC of
iron; carbonate of magnesia, sulphate
of soda, chloride of sodium, crenare
of iron, phosphate oflithia, apocrenate
of iron, phosphate of alumina; sulphate
ot magnesia, sulphate of lime, nitrate
of ammonia; sul phuretof copper, sul"
phuret of strontia, fluoride of calcium;
bromide cf potassium, and nitrogen
and oxygen gas.
Ttie nurhber of visitors here; and in
“the region round about," on last
year was estimated at 8000. It re
mains to be Seen how many the pres"
ent season will bring. But it must
not be supposed that all these thou
sands come here as invalids in search
of health ; shell is not the case. The
majority; perhaps, are from the hfeated
cities; and who, having the means, seek
the quietude and salubrity of these
fashionable resorts during the dull sea"
son of business. Some are to minister
to the wants of their invalid relatives
and friends. The really diseased are
few, comparatively. ‘*To be out of
the fashion is to be out of the world,”
is the ruling motto.
But I forbear. On 10-morrow, 22d
inst., there is to be a grand excursion
from Atlanta to Charlotte; N. C.; at
greatly reduced rates—only $4 for the
round trip, a distance to and from of
about 275 miles. Parties along the
l ne may go go at proportional lates.
Of course it will pay the railroad and
the hotels of Charlotte, but who can
tell whether it will the excursionists.
The crowd, the dust, the lieatj! I may
be able to say in niy neXt, for this rare
inducement inclines hie to visit the old
“North State." Occasional.

Our Cochran Department.
WILBUR F. KELSEY, Editor.
Col. Robert Raiford has gone on a
visit of two or three weeks down in
Dooly county. He is visiting friends
and relatives.
Cochran is enlivened now by the
presence of one of Macon's most beau
tiful young ladies, Miss Carrie Lump
kin, who is here Visiting the families
of Mr. Jno. Coley and James Booth.
Mr. E I. T. Byiugton of Fort Valley
will commence next week, in Cochran,
the publication of a newspaper, which
will be styled ‘The Cochran Observer.'
Mr. B. is a young mar. of talent and
energy, and no doubt will give the
people of this section a good and newsy
sheet. He has our best wishes.*
We are sorry indeed that it is? out
of our power to write vfp the Cochran
department this week, but having been
engaged in the courts most of the time,
and having other business engage"
merits which we were obliged to attend
to, it has therefore been impossible to
write up the local nows of Cochran
this week.
It is with very great pleasure that
we state that Dr. Jordan has recover
ed from his recent illness, and is again
up and about,* apparently as well us
usual.*
Justiee Court here last Saturday was
almost equal to county court, —the
dockets were very full, and a large
Crowd iu attendance. Caps. J. 11. Mar
tin, Gen. o.*€. Ilorno of Hawkiusville,
and Col. Jordan of Pulaski county
were in attendance. The county judge
ought to hold a session of his courl
here once a month. It would be a
great convenience to the people around
and above here'; it is about 15 miles
from this point to the upper line of the
county, and it is a great deal of trouble
to many citizens living above here to
be compelled to go to Hawkiusville to
attend county court.
Tnc Democratic mass meeting at
Hawkinsvifle 'Tuesday was well at
tended and much interest manifested.
The meeting was duly organized and
thirty-two delegates appointed to cast
the vote for the county in the district
convention. The vote of course will
be solid for Col. Kibbee. It is to be
hoped that the Western portion of the
District xvill yet do justice and recog"
nize the claims of this portiou of the
District The people of the western
po'rtion well know that they furnished
the last representative, and the people
of the eastern portion of the District
furnished the votes. That has been
the case long enough, and should cease
to be ; the representation is unfair
and should be changed. But that be
ing the case, will the people of the
western portion of this District take a
rude, unfnagnanirnous advantage Of
this portion of the District When they
kneft that we have more voters by
great odds;but are simply unfortunate
in our representation ? It is to be
hoped not; and then hasn't General
Cook held the office long enough for
one mau ; hasn't he been well repaid
for his excellent service rendered dur
ing the war ? And what if he has not ?
Wasn't Col. Eibbee equally as gallant
a soldier as Gen. Cook ? Didn't he
make as bright a war record as Gen.
Cook ? Yes, equally, if not more so.
Col. Kibbee was as brave and gallaut
soldier as ever tOok up arms in defense
of country ; and then look if you will
at his brilliant record since the wdr—
both a statesman, a lawyer, a citizen
and a gentleman ; his superior cannot
be found. We want an 1 need him in
Congress, and we must hate him;

celebrated; as the finances of the would

he was not able to buy the license.—

an addition to tile feouvict force of the

Tiie jones ease.
The Atlanta Constitution furnishes
the following report and full statement
of the debts in the ease of the State vs.
John Jones, late State Treasurer :
“The report of the auditor, Hon. J.
M. Pace, in the case of the State vs.
John Jonesj late treasurer* covers six
ty densely written pages, and indicates
a minute and thorough investigation
into the accounts of the treasurer. We
can present to our readers now only a
synopsis of the main features ofihe re
port, having (from want of time to ex
amine and space to print) to omit many
of the numerous details of debit and
credit entering into and making up the
final aggregate;
The report debits Jones with—
-5149,250 State bonds, matuied pri
or to January 1, 1872-redeemed by
Henry C!ews& Cos. with m mays of the
State (arising from the sale of gold
bonds of the State, known as the seven
p.r cent gold quarterlies) and subset
queutly paid by Jones carelessly and
negligently.
$21)500, State bohdSj redeemed by
the Fourth National Bank of New York
(the financial agent of the State in
New York) during the term of Angier >
treasurer, and improperly credited to
Jones > Nov. 30, 1874.
$27,500 State bonds redeemed hy
Fourth National Bank in the early part
of 1873, by exchanging for same oth
er State bon Is, issued in and not
charged to Jones on his accounts with
the State. For this $27,500 credit was
taken by Jones, and the amount is, by
the auditor, charged back to him on
his account.
On the foregoing bonds, interest
paid, or claimed to have been paid by
Jones, amounting to about $25,000 is
denied by the auditor as a proper cred
it to Jones.
In addition to the fon going items
of debit, the report further debits the
extreasurer with about $40,000 in gold
coupons, paid by the Fourth National
Bank in 1871, snd improperly credited
to Jones in 1874
Sundry items of cfedit claimed by
Jones,. as not embraced in credits had
to him in his accounts with the State
at the time of his removal from office,
are denied to him, but are for the most
part allowed as rightful credits.
The total indebtedness of the ex
treasurer at the time of his removal
from office, Nov. 25, 1874, as shown
by the report is about $250,000.
Tire exact shape in which the case
will next appear is not known. The
above is the material part of the aud
itor’s report and will be read with in
terest all over the State.
Auditor Pace has proven a very faith
ful officer in tins long aud trying case,
and hi conduct is approved by counsel
on both sides*
