It is a curious incident that Mr.
Hayes was nominated on Friday,
that the electoral bill was passed on
Friday, that the count was comple
ted on Friday, claret punch was drunk
on Friday in Philadelphia and the
proposition to investigate was made
on Friday.

Judge tester, of she Blue Ridge
circuit, has adjourned Gilmer Supe
rior court to the first Monday in
July. We have as yet no reliable
information on the subject, but pre
burnt! that the courts of Fannin, Un
ion and Towns will follow in regular
succession.
A friend writiug us from Hiwassee,
Towns county, under date of the 18th
inst., says: “The prospect for wheat
and fruit crops has been most flatter
ing. I see sigus of rust on wheat
late ly. Farmers are up with their
work. Col. Jemison has been dan
gerously ill for two weeks with pneu
monia. He is recovering but slow

Our citizens have no idea of the
many pretty things that are said of
our place all over the State. The
three columns on our first page is
but a drop in the bucket to all that
has been said. We will give a few
more next week so that we may see
ourselves as others see us. Gaines
ville is the best written up town in
the State. We thank our editorial
brethren, on the part of Gainesville,
for their kind and flattering notices.
Of Course.
“We believe the party should he fully or
ganized throughout the State, and that a
thorough canvass of each Congressional
District should be made by llepubliean
speakers. It may be best iu some districts
to support Independent candidates; but it
that policy is decided upon, it should be by
a Republican Convention properly called,
and by delegates fairly chosen.”
The above is an extract from an
article iu this week’s Georgia Repub
lican, edited by Mr. J. E. Bryant,
chairman of the Republican State
Executive Committee. We copy it
for the information and delectation
of the so-called Independents iu the
Ninth. It is certainly comforting.
Mr. Cotter’s resolution to investi
gate the election frauds in Florida
and Louisiana passed the House of
Representatives on last Friday, not
howevt r until the Republicans had
exhausted every means to defeat the
measure. In this they were success
ful until several absent Democrats
had returned to their seats. On
Monday speaker Randall announced
the appointment of the following
committee under the resolution,to wit;
Hotter, of New York: Morrison, of
Illinois; Hunton,of N irginia; Stenger,
of Pennsylvania; McMahon, of Ohio; J
Cobb, of Indiana; Blackburn, of Ken

Our Canadian neighbors are iu a
fevtr of excitement on account of a
threatened Fenian invasion from the
United States. For some time it has
been biuted that the Fenians in this
country were preparing to muke a
raid on Canada and attempt to cap
tiue the principal citits and towns,
in the (Vent tnat England liecnme
iuvoWed in a war wi h Russia. Bill
little notice has been taken of the ni
mor, a it was generally believed to ba
a scare. Late dispatches however
would indicate that there may be
something in it. At least the Cana
dians believe there is a movement
for tin i nvasiou of the dominion and
intense * xcitement is j revailing all
aloDg tLe bolder.
The General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South is
ntill in session in Atlanta. A-i wo sta
ted last week the proceedings are to
voluminous that we cannot give any
thing like a satisfactory synopsis.
L ist week Dr. Foss and Ex-Gov.
Cumb ck the fraternal delegate?
from the northern M th odist church
were formerly received by the Con
ference and the occasion is said to
have been profoundly impressive.—
The addresses of these gentlemen
and the response by the presiding
Bispbop were touchingly eloquent
and replete with the most kindly
Christian sentiments. Sibatquently
the fmternal dt legates from the
Methodist Protestant wore received
in a like spirit of fraternity, and
brotherly love. While no formal un
ion of these different branches is at
present proposed, this kiudly inter
course will doubtless do much to
break down the barriers which have
so long estranged those Christian
workers and to hasten the day when
sectarianism and religious bigotry
shall be abolished.
We hope that every member of the
Agrio Itural society and others in
terested will attend the meeting on
the first Tuesday in June. At that
time the constitution and by-laws for
the government of the society will
be su’ mitt id for adoption, and there
are other matters of the first impor
tance upon which action must be
taken at once. It was decided at
the last meeting to hold a fair this
fall. Having taken this step it will
not do to think of fai ing, and in or
der to assure success there are cer
tain preliminaries that must be at
tended to at an early day. We will
name a few. First the ways and
means must be devised for raising a
considerable sum of money. The
grounds must be selected and secured,
and steps taken for enclosing them
and the erection of the necessary
buildings. A premium list must be
prepared and published, and many
other things of the utmost impor
tance demand immediate attention.
For these and many other reasons
that might be given we trust there
will boa full attendance, a free and
full <.-.in (ml tat ion and wise skid judi
cious action. j;

MINES AND MININC.
T VVM. W. HABKHSUAM
Ttu; MINERAL WEALTH OF GEORGIA.
The gradual development of the
mineral-belt extending through
Northern Georgia proves beyond a
doubt, that when a sufficient amount
of capitd shall have been invested,
the mines will yield an amount of
the pr ecious metals commensurate
with the outlay ; and capitalists will
find that in no other way can money
be invested more advantageously,
thau iu the gold and silver mines of
Georgia.
These conclusions are not imagi
nary; but are drawn from actual ob
servation, and a practical knowledge
of the character of a section of coun
try, which has, for a long time been
known to possess precious metals,
but which, owing to its remoteness
from the direct hue of travel, has
with one or two exceptions, only at
tracted the attention of tourists,
drawn hither by the report of the
delightful climate and picturesque
scenery, and not from a desire to in
vest in mining speculations.
Within the past forty years, the
mines of Georgia have been worked
by the natives, from time to time, iu
the most supeiiiciul manner, with
rudest appliances, and until very re
cently, nothing has been done to
develop them to the extent which
their surface indications would war
rant.
At the present time, great interest
is being nuUDfestcd, in this section,
not ouiy on account of its healthful
nets, but because mines of gold, sil
ver, copper and other metals abound,
from which in the future will be de
rived an amount of bullion which
will add materially to the weatlh of
the nation.
The history of early mining in
Georgia is replete with pleasing in
cidents, which serve to prove, that
whilst it was supposed that the re
port of the discovery of gold was un
founded, large amounts of the pre
cious metal were being taken from
the surface, and from shallow pits
near Dahlonega. From the Pass
more veiD, over ten thousand dollars
in gold was taken out in twenty days
from the soft slate.
From the Juhu C. Calhoun prop
erty, situated on the banks of the
Chestatee River; upon coming to
the gravel of the former river bed,
a rich deposit of wash gold was
found, and in twenty three days,
from one pit, twenty thousand dol
lars was derived.
A remarkable gold vein, known as
the “Boly Fields mine” was opened
in the bed of the Chestatee river.
The vein was discovered by following
up the gold deposits on the river.
The vein was narrow, but very rich,
and bearing iu pluces as much as
half its bulk iu gold, in ragged ir
regular masses. When this vein was
found, the gold was visible for a foot
or two only, but as the excavation
progressed, it was found to extend
for several feet, and could bo dis
tinctly seen by persons standing on
the bank. The most magnificent uu
crystalizod specimens ever seen,
were taken out of this deposit before
the depth of fifteen feet was reached
Their beauty was greatly enhanced
by the perfect preservation of the
rock, not a particle of rust or decom
position being apparent. Iu blast
ing the compact rock of which the vein
is composed, three thousand dollars
worth of gold was thrown out at a
single blast. Many of the rocks
which could be easily lifted in one
hand, were valued at hundreds ol
dollars.
At the time these discoveries were
made, the mines were being worked
in the most primitive manner, with
no means of controlling the vast
amount of water which accumulated
in the shafts which were sunk on the
lots, on the banks of the Chestatee
river, hence, after the shafts were
extended below the water level and
became Hooded’ they were deserted,
and remain as an evidence of the
inutility of working mines without
capital, and without a knowledge
of mining, and the proper appli
ances with which to carry on opera
tions/ * f i
In the lots, all along the banks of
the Chestatee, Chattahoochee, and
Etowah rivers in Geoigia; where the
slate bed rock pitches into tho rivers,
evidences of rich gold mines are ap
parent to the informed miner. Even
the clayey slime which accumulates
on the banks of these rivers contains
what is known as llour gold, and it
is the general impression, that when
the river beds are properly worked,
they will be lound to contain an
abundance of gold.
Recent developments prove, that
the gold mines of Georgia will com
pare favorably with those of Califor
nia and the Territories, and the
attention of capitalists is attracted
by the uniformity and richness of
the leads which are being worked.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Passage of the “Fraud” Kesolutlon by

newspaper men—Preparations for tile

[From our regular Correspondent.]
Washington, D. C.,May 18, 1878.
Veni, Vidi, T7ci! is what our
Democratic Ctesars will exclaim this
morning, when they read news,
Hashed by telegraph last night all
over the couutry, of the passage by
the House of the resolution to in
vestigate the election frauds in Flori
da and Louisiana. It was a long
and bitter tight between the two par
ties; but it is over and the battle is
it will ultimately lead t.c>,
no oDe can foretell. As lam merely
a chronicler of events and not here
to appear in the role of editor, I shall
abstain from all criticisms, pro or
con, merely promising that the ac
tion of General Butler in voting with
the Democrats throughout has crea
ted no little wonder and excitement
in the Republican ranks. Whether
the General carries, as the saying is,
“a fox behind his ear,” or whether
he has acted strictly on the square
and really means to stand by the
Democrats in this thing, is also a
matter of conjecture!
Besides the excitement caused by
this affair, our city has been en
livened for a week past by the an
nual meeting of superintendents of
insane asylums. Iu view of the fact
that the finest aud largest insane
asylum in the United States is loca
ted right here iu our midst, (I do
not refer to the Capitol, it would
seem that this is about as good a
place as could be selected for them
to meet in. Their time was occu
pied iu debating the best trea'ment
of lunatics, aud the methods of de
termining the existence and the sev
eral grades of lunacy; visiting the
Government Insane Asylum and the
beautiful surroundings of Washing
ton, passing resolutions on the death
of Prof. Henry, of the Smithsoniau
Institution, and eating good dinners.
Altogether, they seemed to have a
jolly good time.
The successor to the late Prof
Henry was elected by the Regents of
the Smithsonian yesterday, and re
sulted in the unanimous nomination
of Prof. Baird. Among those pres
ent (of the Board of Begents) were
Chief Justice AYaite, Senators Ham
lin, Sargent and Withers, Represen
tatives Clymer and Garfield, Gen.
Sherman, Hon. P. Parker, Rev. Dr.
Mac Lean, Dr. A a Grey, and Presi
dent N. Porter. Representative A.
H Stephens drove up to the steps
of the building, but did not feel well
enough to leave the carriage. Ap
propriate resolutions of sympathy
for the family, granting the sdary
for the remainder of the year to the
widow, and the use of the rooms iu
the Smithsonian Itstitute as ong as
the family wish to occupy them, aud
appointing a committee to pro
vide for a future memorial ser
vice, at which appropriate eulogies
should be delivered, & j., were udop.-
ted. Tho expression was general,
that the eulogies should bo delivcrcJr
in the House of Representative next
winter. Gen. Sherman was elected
to fill the vacancy in tho executive
committee, occasioned by the resig
nation of Hon. George Bancroft. —
The subject of tho selection of a sec
ret ry of the institution was then
considered, and it was decided to
proceed to the election by ballot
Eleven votes wore cast, and Prof,
Spencer Fullerton Baird was de
clared unanimously elected.
The newly elected Secretary was 1
born at Reading, Pa., iu .1823, and is
a distinguished naturalist, lie has
written several valuable works con
nected with natural history, aud has
contributed articles to thepublica-'
tions of the Smithsonian Institution
and to the “Journal of the Academy
of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia. *
He is a member of tho National
Academy of sciences, and the head
of the fish commission. His long
service as assistant secretary of
ins'.itutiou has given him a thorough
knowledge of its plans and all the de
tails of its workings, and he is, per
haps, better fitted, as Professor*
Henr’y’s successor, to direct the
operations of the Institution iu con
formity with its established
than any other man in Ameiica.
Yesterday, during the progress of
voting on the Potter resolution in
the House, a cheerful scene was
enacted in the reporters’s gallery,
which is located just over the speak
er’s desk. One correspondent ac
cused a brother quilldriver of having
called him hard names, and slapped
him in fue tace. WEcrxt’pon qain®
driver number two w r eut for q. and.
number one, and a lively row 7 ensued,
which might, perhaps, have resulted
in the spilling of human gore, if the
correspondent of tho New York Sun,
who was present had not interfered,
aud taking each by the collar,
marched them both out into the lob
by, where they were cooled down by
plentiful applications of lemonade
and ice-water. I have not heard of
any challenge having been passed
yet.
Vice-President Wheeler left for
New York last night, iu company
with Mrs. Hayes and Miss Fanny
Hayes, to be absent about a week.--
During his absence, Senator Ferry,
of Michigan, is temporary President
of tho Senate. The German minis
ter, Baron Kurd Von Schlozer has
obtained leave of absence, and leaves
for Europe this morning; he is on 9
of the most popular of- the corps dip
lomatique here and will be greatly
missed by all who know him.
Elaborate preparations are bein
made for the observance of “Decora
tion Day’’ on the 30th inst., when
impressive and interesting services
will be held at Arlington, Soldiers’
Homs and Congressional cemeteries,
under charge of appropriate commit
tees. The monuments throughout
the city, and the graves iu Oak Hi 1
and Battle cemeteries, will also be
decorated. Arlington, of course,
will be the central point of interest,
and the exercises immediately pu
ceding the decoration of the graves
will be held in the large amphitheaT
tre, which will be entirely covered by
au immense canvass. A national sa
lute is to be tired by the District
artillery; and the services of a choir
have been secured, which will render
dirges aud patriotic selections at in
tervals during the services. The
Marine band will also be in attend
ance. Hon. Char’es G. Williams cf
Wisconsin, delivers the oration, and
Rev. J. E. Rankin, I). D , will read a
poem written for the occasion. R. \.
A. F. Mason officiates as chaplain.—
At the close of the services, the com
rades of the G. A. R , assisted by the
orphans of the Soldeirs and Sailors
home, will proceed to place flowers
upon the graves. Mr. Hayes will be
present, if in the city, together with
members of the cabinet, foreign
ministers aud members of the House
and Senate.
A telegram was received by the
War Department yesterday from
General Howard, to the effect that a
thousand or more of the Coloille and
Spokaine Indians are up iu arms and
training their ponies for a light iu
case the government insists on mov
ing them into agencies. These are
peaceful Indians, aud a majority of
them are well-to-do farmers, so it
cannot be wondered at that they do
not want to be forcibly f j*cted from
their homestead. But as they are
merely “Indians,” and not civilized
“citizens,” no one can tell what may
befall them under the exquisitely
bad management of our Indian af
fairs. All they ask is to be left
alone, in peaceful possession of their
property; and if this request is not
granted, no true man will blame
them for taking up arms to protect
their homes and hearthstones against
the innovation sud aggression of
white speculators who think their
land can be turned to better account!
