We ate pleased to hear that GeiL
Finney of Pennsylvania has arrived
with his partner,Col. Lo.vman o’ New
Yurk, with their eteam engine, crush
ers, and concentrators, to work the
Silver mine near this city. Their
machinery embraces some of the most
valuable discoveries in science, which
will enable them to make a large 1-
percentage than by former modes.—
The engine and machinery are all on
the mine, and will b 9 in active oper
ation in two months. Both Gen.
Finney and Col. Lowman are practi
cal miners and know what they are
doing- All we ask of the citizens of
Hall county is to co-operate, and af
ford all possible facilities to them
and they wild doubtless develop an
industry worth millions to this sec
tion.
HiiHhaiul anil Wife.
A case was decided by Judge Rice
at Gwinnett Court last week which
will interest many of our readers. It
seems that a young man by the name
of Fields married a girl sixteen years
old Dgainst the wishes of her parents.
The young bride’s father obtained
the custody of his daughter and do
tained her at home on the ground
that she was a minor. The husband
sued out a writ of habeas corpus, and
on the hearing of the same the Judge
held that, notwithstanding the li
cense was irregularly issued and the
father had not given his consent, she
being sixteen years of age, the mar
riugo was valid and binding, and the
parties occupied the relationship of
husband and [wifi; but that under
the law which gives the parent the
custody ’aud right to the services of
his child until majority, unless he
voluntarily looses it, that defendant
had the right to her services until
she was twenty one, and therefore
was entitled to her custody. An or
der was therefore piassed dismissing
tho writ and remandiug the wife to
the possession of her father.
The case we learn will go to the
Supreme Court.
OUIi WASHINGTON LETTEII.
[From our regular correspondent ]
Washington, D. C., March 16.
There has been little accomplished
in the way of legislation during the
past week. There has been consid
erable good speaking in both House
and Senate, and there is promise of
more. Charles Foster is preparing
a speech in reply to those of Hewitt
and Cox on the civil service reforms
/
of Mr. Hayes, and in general defence
of the Administration. A far abler
man than Foster woul find this work
difficult. The first six months of the.
.lu.uincn uinim Fxi aie-nce wei-oTiUod
with promises of reform, made by it
audits friends; the next three by
promises made by tho Administra
tion alone; the last three by the Ad
ministration regrets that the attitude
of Congress made reform almost im
possible. The whole year was full of
acts that made these promises and
regrets aliko absurd.
The results of the Democratic cau
cus are not yet apparent. The com
mittee of thirteen, appointed to con
sult with the Military committee as
to making tho army bill a part}’
measure, has made no report,and will
probably consider other matter, and
attempt to unite Democratic Repre
sentatives on other measures. It
ought not to be difficult to secure a
unanimous Democratic vote on any
measure lookiug to economy and re
form in tho civil service, and, as a
necessary preliminary to these things,
a thorough investigation of Federal
affairs for the past few extravagant
and corrupt years; In this direction
Democratic success, not less than the
general welfaro of the country, are
to be found. By all means the com
mittee should have the encourage
ment of every Democratic member of
the House.
Judge Hughes, of the United
States Circuit Court, yesterday, at
Richmond, rendered his decision on
one of the points raised by the gov
ernment in the Arlington estate case
The heirs of Gen. Lee commenced
suit against the officer holding pos.
session of tho estate, as the United
States could not be sued. The point
overruled yesterday by Judge Hughes
was, that the United States being in
directly a party to the suit, the Court
had no jurisdiction to try it. The
claim will now be tried on its mer
its. About one-fifth of this fine es
tate is occupied by a national ceme
tery, in which Federal and a few
Confederate dead are buried. The
remainder is covered with the cabins
of indigent negroes. Whatever may
be the result of the trial, the peace
of the dead should be held sacred.
The people who occupy the balance
of the land should be scattered, for,
as they now exist, laziness and all
manner of crimes are their inevitable
portion.
Probably no two men in public life
more cordially dislike each other
than Conkling and Schurtz, unless,
perhaps, Blaine and Schurtz are the
two. When the great Maine Sena
tor, who understands all subjects to
his own satisfaction, has a moment
of uncommon hatred for anything, or
anybody, he vents his feelings on
Schuriz. He took him on stumpage
the other day. If there is anything
Blaine ought to understand, it is
stumpage. He was born in a wood
land region in Penneylvania, and
his maturer years have been passed
iu Maine, iu the midst of limitless
forests of pine. One township—they
tM it a tcWc, bat it Is only a wood
—is named fot hint He knbWs (no
mattfer what he does not know) all
about etumpage. The Secretary had
been prosecuting men who wire sus
pected of stealing government trets,
and asked for an appropriation to
pay for agents to hunt up more such
violators of the law. This was the
opport mity for Blaine, and he im
proved it. Whatever the merits of
the case, 119 certainly took the bark
off of Schuttz, and trimmed him from
root to crown. He was not diguified
but;he was forcible. Schurtz has not
three friends in the Senate, so nearly
every one was gratified.
MINES AND^MSNiNG.
BY WM. W. HABEIISHAM.
GOLD AND SILVEII MINES.
During the past fifty years, the
fact has been well established, that
gold mines were to he found in
Georgia, which if properly worked,
would yield large profits.
Iu 1828, Dr. M. F. S ephenson, the
distinguished geologist and mineral
ogist, whilst prospecting in the
mountains of Georgia, discovered
fine gold in the gravel in the
streams, and with that urbanity and
unselfishness for which he has ever
been characterized, made known to
rich and poor, bond and freo, that
the rocky portions of the mountains,
which were supposed to be valueless,
contained a vast amount of gold; and
predicted that in tho coarse of time,
the State would be as greatly renown
ed for its mineral wealth, as for its
agricultural resources, and the salu
brity of its climate.
“A prophto is not without honor,
save in his own country,” and to-day,
ihis noble specimen of humanity,
who has during the past half centu
ry associated with the most distin
guished men of the times; and done
so much for science, is to be found
proclaiming to the credulous people
of his adopted State, the immutable
truths revealed to those who devote
their time to scientific pursuits, his
only reward being, in the concious
ness of having done his duty.
At the time of the discovery of
gold in California, shortly after that
State had been ceded by Mexico to
the United States the people of this
country were as much alive to every
thing relative to that interesting
section, as were the Europeans, when
Columbus announ.ed to Ferdinand
and Isabella the discovery of the
Western continent with its vast ag
ricultural and mineral resources.
Since then, a large amount of capital
has been invested in developing the
miners^, rt fgesources of the Pacific
-S-ffiffSchool . -a’itoriafl.
TheTabulous amount of gold and
silver taken from the mines of Cali
fornia, Navada, Idaho Montana and
Arizona since 18IS (an annual aver
age of $93,750,000) proves conclu
sively that the capital invested in
working them has not been misap
plied. Had this amount not bean
invested, the treasure which has been
revealed, would have remained in the
womb of mother earth undiscovered,
and commerce would have languish
ed, whereas, during the period the
mines have been iu operation, incal
culable benefit has accrued to com
merce and civilization.
It is frequently remarked that the
civilization of past ages was coequal,
if not iu advance of that of the pres
ent century, and that previous to the
dark ages, the arts and sciences
flourished to an extent not known at
the present time. There can be no
question that the scientific principles
by which we are governed at the
present day w r ere known to the an
cients, but that they were greatly at
fault with regard to the application
of those principles, is very evident.
In proof of this we publish the sta
tics of the yield of gold and silver
during a period of thirty years, from
the discovery of the mines of the Pa
cific coast and Territories, since 1848.
Gold and silver yield

From elsewhere, 441,000,000 ) 028,000,000
$5,703,0J0.00), $2,026,000,000
The facts contained in the fore
going statistics, cannot fail to satisfv
the most skeptical reader, th -t the
application of the principles embrac
ed in the arts and sciences, to min
ing operations, within the fifty years
last past, has served to enlighten
the present generation, and to place
it far in advance of the past in every
respect.
In South America at the present
time will be found numerous desert
ed gold aud silver mines, which were
worked by Mexicans and Peruvians
in early days, and are evidences of
the disadvantages arising from the
want of proper appliances, with
which to relieve the mines of water.
A larger amount of capital will be re
quired to re-open and work these
mines, than if in their primitive con
dition; hence, very little mining is
being done in that portion of the
world! aha capital is being attracted
to thdke sections; where Virgin
mines are to be found, which Will re
munerate capitalists for their invest
ment.
To the capitalists of the pacific
coast, the minea of the North West
offer superior advantages, whilst to
those of the Atlantic coast, the
rich mines of Northeast Geor
gia, which have yielded $26,000,000
in thirty years from surface washings
alone, are destined in the future to
attract the attention of Northern and
Western capital.
The time is not far distant when
the many facilities offered for operat
ing willl be appreciated, and the red
hills of Georgia will resound with
the sounds of thousands of stamps as
they crush the glittering gold and
silver ores, and furnish their quota
of the precious metals to meet th
reqnirement of the age.
A Letter from Athens.
Athens, Ga , March 19, 1878.
Editor Eagle: I had not been in
this city for nine years until yester
day, and I was agreeably surprised
at the many evidences of improve
ment and thrift that are now seen
on every hand. When the Air Lintr
railroad was completed to
ville in 1871 a great flood of travel
and trade set in from the section
penetrated and the country lying
north of the road in the direction of
Atlanta. The corn, wheat, oats, po
tatoes, poultry &c. turned away fronr
the Athens market, had a blighting
effect upon the place for a time, but
soon her wide-awake progressive citi
zens began to see and appreciate the
tho situation. The Northeastern
railroad had been chartered, but up
to this time it was considered a “pa
per line”—a visionary project, with
the chances all against its construc
tion. But whan the trade from Ath
ens was cut off, her merchants be--
come restive; they saw that the coun-,
try from which their city had drawn
its life-blood had been “captured,’’
and their customers drawn off among
strangers to a cosmopolitan city to
dispose of the products of their farms
and buy their goods. Bloomfield
Messrs. Nickerson, .Reeves, Dearing
et al took a hasty view of tho situa
tion and without the usual “blood
and thunder” newspaper display>
work was quietly commenced on the
Northeastern and pushed vigorously
to completion. The building of this
road from Athens to Lula on the Air
Line has accomplished wonders for
Athens. It has given her merchants
“through rates,” and the same freight
privileges enjoyed by the merchants,
of* Atlanta and Augusta. It has
shortened the distance to Atlanta
several miles, and reduced the fair on
tho Georgia railroad in proportion to
the distance saved. It has given the
trade of the city anew impetus, and
on every hand the stranger notices
the evidences of improvement and
prosperity. New buildings have gone
up as by magic, spacious warehouses
are being constructed and many are
lookiug out for favorable locations
and are proposing to purchase prop
erty on which to build all sorts of
business houses. The low rates giv
en the merchants on cotton to New
York have drawn thousands of bales
of the fleecy staple to Athens that
has heretofore been sold at other
places.
But the main advantages to Athens
in the construction of the Northeas
tern are yet to be told. Her mer
chants have it in their power to
bring back more trade to their city
than they even lost by the building
of the Air Line, if they will work for
it, like they worked to get the North
eastern road. Qnite a number of the
leading merchants, and many of the
best clerks in the city are mountain
men and boys and exert a large in
fluence in your section. Then the
mountain men people as a class, feel
more at home here than in any other
city, The interests of the Athenians
and North Georgians generally Bre
the same. The State is divided po-
litically, so that the people are all
thrown together in the up country.—
For these reasons and many others
that I could mention, Athens ought
to be a very important trading point
for your people. A little printers
ink judiciously used will accomplish
wonders. Speaking of printers ink
reminds me that Athens has no daily
paper. There are plenty of people
here to support a daily, and why
some live, enterprising man don’t
put up and “make it stick” is certain
ly wonderful. The Banner, Watch
man and Chronicle are all three neat,
newsy and prospering papers, but
the newspaper business is net up
with the advancement aud other im
provements of the city. Hon. H. H
Carlton tried a daily here before the
completion of the Northeastern Rail
road, but wa3 compelled to suspend
it oh account of sickness, and a want
of necessary support and patronage.
MANUFACTURES.
Athens is a manufacturing town of
considerable importance, and sup
ports more mechanics and laborers
in proportion to population than any
other city in the South. Chief
among the establishments of this
class, is that of the Hodgson Bros.,
who have the largest buggy and
wagon factory in the South. They
are making large numbers of bug
gies, carriages, rockaways, etc. Tbey

astonished to find how cheap they
