The new gun invented by Dr. Mc-
Allister, of Mississippi, shoots 4,000
halls per minute.
Post Master General Key and
TTou. A. H. Stephens seem to be rid
ing the same “boss.” %
The Scientific American says of the
phonograph: It will be the greatest
revolut ionizer the world has ever
known.
From the developments already
made by Mr. Potter’s committee, it
does not look like the investigation
would prove to be either a “tragedy
or a farce. ”
ludiuua taxes each dog one dollar
and out of the fund thus accumula
ted every farmer who has a sheep
killed, is paid two dollars and fifty
cents for his loss.
Independents had as well prepare
for business in the ninth district. —
If there is anything in the signs of
times, they are going to find “Jourdan
a hard road to travel.’’
Bill Chandler sayß that if the Re
publican pary wants to Burvive the
exposure that will be made by the
Potter investigation it. must cut
loose from the men engaged in the
Presidential frauds.
At the animal commencement of
tho University of Virginia, which
takes place in the last week in June>
tho lion. Thomas A. Hendricks will
deliver the address before the sooie

speak on the electoral frauds

Let every true Democrat who lias
the interest of his country at heart
now gird on his armor for the con
11. ct. The Convention has been
called. The action of the executive
committee was harmonious, and
every thing points to a “Waterloo de
feat" for tho disorganizers.
Tho Nashville American, unterrified
by Key and edified by Anderson, de
clares that “if nothing more is de
velopod tao investigation has brought
to light enough to damn all those
connected with tho goat conspiracy
of 1870."
A bill is now before the select
committee of Congress charged with
the consideration of the next census
and of the details that will make it
most effective and valuable as an ex.
hibit of the growth and progress
of the United States in wealth and
population.
It is given out from Washington
that Secretary Sherman has decided
to carry out to tho letter the provis
ions of tho bill prohibiting the
further contraction of the currency
and that he will issue new notes in
placo of $1,G00,000 which had already
been punched preparatory to destruc
tion.
J. M. Mobley, Grand Master, has
appointed tho following committee
to attend the commencement exerci
ses of the Southern Masonic Female
College at Covington, to wit: -E. A
Perkins, of Millen; G. W. Warwick

of Smithville; J. B. Estes, of Gaines
ville; C. W. Harris, Augusta; A. W

Seven hunddred strikers in the
coal mines near Charlestown, West
Virginia, on Monday took pos
session of a steamboat and a railway
train in the interest of a strike and
run both without regard to regular
schedule. June has been named by
the socialistic prophets as the time
for another general strike.
From a letter written to a lady in
this county wo learn that the recent
lire in Clarksville, Texas, was very
destructive. It destroyed two blocks
of business houses aud the total loss
was $150,000 with $25,000 insuranca.
On the night of the fire there fell a
tremendous rain damaging tne farm
ers to the amount of about $300,000.
A few good and true men in this
district have been talking rather in
depently recently, bat now is tho
time for them to fall into ranks and
help by an organized fight to weed
out objectionable features in the or
ganization. In tho ranks is the
peace to right any wrongs that may
exist. It cannot be done by joining
the enemy.
Frank Gordon, of the Planter <&
Grange is the only editor in Georgia
who waltzes the “/row temps ' ami is a
pianist. Being of a philosophizing
turn of mind he leads tho Germro
until three in tho morning, and upon
that inspiration gets up after a few
minutes sleep, and makes the best
agricultural paper in the South.—
Good luck to you, “dwear Fwauk.”
The last number of tho Southern
Planter <£• Grange contained the an
nouncement that Frank Gordon had
purchased the interest of his partner,
Dr. White, in the publication of that
journal. Mr. Gordon is a young
man of quite practical and correct
ideas of farming and the best plans
of successfully carrying on that busi
ness. He exercises excellent taste
iu everything he publishes. The
paper should be taken by all our
farmers especially those who seek
i iformation in that noble profession,
dubacriplion, price 00 per annum.
Action of fhfe Lxe'iittvc boiiniiittec.
We publish in anothet column the
action of tha Democratic Executive
Comm ttee which met in this city cn
Wednesday. We have no space for
comment this week and can only say
that the proceedings were most har
monious and a spirit of conciliation
and conservatism exhibited high’y
gratifying and encouraging.
General Shields has received shab
by treatment frrm Ihe Republicans
in Congress. They first used his
name, without his consent, to defeat
the Democratic candidate for door
keeper. He was defeated and the
majority of the house passed a bill
to conter on him a higher rank and
pension on the retired list of the
army. It had ome to the Senate
for concurrence, when Sargent, of
California, procured the sanction ot
the Republican maj >ritv to an amend
ment joining the name of Gen.
Grant to that of Gen. Shields as a
recipient of thelntioDS benevolence.
This, of course, defeated the bill,
and an old and needy army officer is
kept from a deserved peuaiou be
cause he was a “Democrat and Irish
man.- ’ Such is radical patriotism
and gratitude.
Keeling o. the Democratic Executive
Committee
G ainesviluk, G v , June 5, 1878.
The committee met to-day, quorum
present and was called to order by
Hon. John llockeuhull, chairman;
Mr. J. A. Green, of Madison county
acting as secretary.
A committee of five was appointed
to draft resolutions which retired
and after a short absence returned
with the following resolutions which
were submitted and unanimously
adopted.
Resolved, That a convention of
this, the bib Congressional district,
be held in the city of Gainesville,
Hall county, Ga., on Thursday, the
first day of August, next, for the pur
pose of nominating a candidate to
represent this district in the 4Gth
Congress of the United States.
liesol ved, That the basis of n pre
tion in said convention shall be as
follows, to wit: Counties having one
member in the lower house of the
general assembly shall be entitled to
threo votes, and counties having two
members shall be entitled to six
votes.
Resolved, That nono but well au
thenticated proxies presented by a
citizen of the county from which the
proxy comes, signed by the delegates
elected or appotned be reooguizsd by
the convention. That printed or
written copies signed by the chair
man and secretary of the county
meetings be sufficient evidence of the
appointment or election of delegates.
Resolved, That we recommend and
earnestly request that primary meet
ings or elections be held in each
county in the district on the first
Tuesday in July next for the purpose
of selecting delegates to this conven
tion.
Mr. Hunter, of Clarke, offered a
resolution that the thanks of the
body be tendered the Gainesville Li
brary Association for the use of their
ha l, carried.
. Dr. Riden, of Forsyth, offered a
resolution that the democratic pa
pers throughout the district be re
quested to publish the proceedings
of the meeting. The resolution was
passed.
By Dr. Bradley, of Hall: That the
Hon. John Hockenhull, chairman
of the committee issue his address to
the people of the ninth Congression
al district calling the convention to
assemble in pursuance to the above
resolutions, in Gainesville, on Thurs
day, the first day of August next.
John Hockenhull, Ch’rm’u,
J. A. Green, Secretary.
Mr. Stephens’ Position on ihe Potter
Resolution.
The Chronicle Constitutionalist,
of June the first, contained a well
considered article on Mr. Stephens’
position ou the Potter resolution
from which we make the following
extract.
It is understood that Mr. Hple's
amendment provided for an investi
gation of electoral frauds alleged to
have been committed by the Democ
racy in the States of Mississippi and
Oregon. A resolution since offered
by a Democratic majority of the
House provides for an investigation
of the electoral vote of any
concerning which there are well
grounded allegations of fraud. This
action certainly chapges the charac
ter of tho investigation. So far from
being one-sided it is now as broad
and comprehensive as any one could
reasonably desire it to be. The
cause of Mr. Stephen’s objection be
ing thus removed tho objection falls
to the ground. How can a thorougL
and impartial investigation of Re
publican and Democratic States aliki
—such as he was not opposed to—
be unwise, unfortunate and mis*
chievons ? and how can it disturb
the peace, harmony and quiet of the
country? Mr. Stephens, too, evi
dently fails to properly estimate the
effect of the investigation when he
expresses the opinion that it will end
either “in a contemptible farce, or a
terrible tragedy.” We do not be
lieve it will end in either. It cannot
terminate in a “terrible tragedy,’’
because under no circumstances will
the Democratic party countenance or
permit any attempt to oust Mr.
Hayes from the Presidency before
I tile expiration of Ihe Vel’tu fOf tvb*-k
lie was declared by file £U.y
body having authority under the |
Constitution to makb such declara- j
tion. The Democratic press, Demo
cratic leaders and Democratic con
ventions all oppose i e-opening the
Presidential question. If Mr. Hayes
is interfered with, the attack upon his
title will come from members of his
title will come from" members of his
own political party who do not hesi
tate to assert that he was not legally
elected. The investigation cannot
terminate in “a contemptible farce”
unless the American people have be
come so grossly demoralized by eight
years of Grantism, and all that the
word implies, as to consider fraud a
joke and crime something to excite
laughter. The frauds in connection
with the electoral votes of Florida
and Louisiana that have heretofore
been suspec ed and will be proven,
and the people will be asked to pass
judgment at the ballot box upon the
party that committed and was bene
fitted by them. This is what the
investigation was di signed to accom
plish; this is what the investigation
will accomplish. We regret to hear
Mr. Stephens echoing Mr. Eugene
Hale and the Repub.ican Congres
sional Committee's cry about the
“Mexicanization ’ of the Government-
We regret that he is so easily
alarmed by the Chinese gongs of po
litical opponents. The Government
of the United States cannot he
“Mexicanizad” by the investigation
and exposure of fraud any more than
it can be by the conviction of a pick
pocket or a horse-thief There will
be Deither “revolution” nor “Mexi
canization” for the very good and
sufficient leason that the people of
country do not desire and will not
permit either the one thing or the
other. If Mr. Stephens was not so
well known his gloomy forebodings
might cause some apprehension, but
he has so often played the role
of a political Cassandra that his
prophecies of evil will not occasion
alarm.
MINES AND MINING.
\VM. W. HABERSHAM.
TIIE GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF NORTH
EAST GEORGIA.
A mineral belt extends from Maine
on the Northeast to Alabama on the
Southwest, in which almost all the
known minerals of the world are to
be found.
The following minerals and metals
have been discovered in Georgia:
amethyst, asbestus, corundum, cop
per, diamond, galena, gold, hematite,
(red and brown) iron, kaolin, lead,
manganese, mica, opal, silver, serpen
tine, smoky quartz, tetradmyte, trip
oli, and various others, too numer
ous to mention. That which is
known as the great gold-belt finds its
great development in Northeast
Georgia, in the counties of Hall,
Habersham, Lumpkin, White, Un
ion, Banks, Cherokee, Gilmer and
Dawson, and esptcially in that part
of the State watered by the Chesta
tee and Chattahoochee rivers. The
Chestatee forms cftie of the headwa
ters of the celebrated Chattahoochee,
and has its rise in the foothills of the
eastern slope of the Blue Ridge
mountains in Lumpkin county,
whence it flows in a southerly direc
tion, through the low range of hills
between the Blue Ridge and what is
known as the Chattahoochee ridge,
receiving in its course several small
affluents, and being frequently inter
sected in its tortuous course by the
great gold belt, at the point of its
richest development.
The mineral resources of Georgia
offer to capitalists a field for invest
ment with such prospect of profits as
have rarely been presented. W T ith
the outbreak of the late war, mining,
with all kindred industries ceased in
Georgia; but, under the influence of
returning peace, it is starting into
new life, with a vigor and strength
of capital unknown in earlier days.
During the past two years old com
pauits have returned to their work
with enlarged means, while new com
panies have entered this promising
field with abundant capital and all
the modern appliances. The results
of recent mining operations have
been such in this section, as to give
abundant assurance that our most
tai guine calculations upon the min
eral wealth of Georgia have been be
low the fact, and that it requires hut
skilled and persevering industry
to make this mineral bearing sec
tion one of the most famous on the
continent.
The climate of Northeast Georgia
is as salubrious as any on the face of
the earth. The Appalachian range
iiere spreads and changes its course
from northeast and southwest to
east and weßt, and while it breaks
the force of the bleak north winds of
winter, the cool breezes from the
mountains moderate the summer
heat, and render this section a most
delightful resort for residents of the
lower portions of the State. While
immigrants from the northern States
and from Europe will find here com
paratively little frost or snow to im
pede farm work in winter, they will
experience no debilitating heat in
summer.
The water is generally pure free
stone, and of such temperature in
summer as to dispense with all need
of ice. In nearly every neighbor
hood there are springs containing
iron, sulphur, magnesia and other
minerals, to which invalids from
other gfectiba? re§6ttj hud by Whose
iDedicihM properties they are re
stored tO health.
Eiffety variety of soil may be found
hete. The many well-watered val
leys are very fertile, while there are
productive lands at all elevations,
even to the tops of some of the
mountains.
For excellency and variety of#4lm
ber, this section is now probably un
surpassed. Being beyond the navi
gable portions of the streams, and,
until recently, debarred railroad fa
cilities, it has escaped the destruction
of timber that marks more accessible
legions, and the greater portion of
the area is still covered with original
forests of oak, hickory, walnut, pop
lar, chestnut, beech, birch, ash, and
other varieties. With an abundant
supply of materials, and its innu
merable water-powers unutilizs t and
unappreciated. Northeast Georgia
offers most attractive inducements to
wood manufacturers.
Corn, peas, all the small grains,
sorghum, potatoes, (irish and sweet)
apples, peaches, pears, plums, quin
ces, cherries, and small fruits grow
to perfection, while cabbages and the
root crops are of the finest, when
properly cultivated. Frequently as
much as a bale of cotton to the acre
is produced, (the average crop being
a half bale.) Both the climate and
the soil seem admirably adapted to
the production of tobacco, and its
culture is retarded only by the laws
which embarrass its sale.
Nothing but want of transporta
tion facilities has prevented this sec
tion from being settled long ago.
Since tho completion of the Air Line
railroad numerous villages have
sprung up along its course, as if by
magic, aud are constantly growing,
while the rural population is advanc
ing with equal progress. With the ex
tensions of the railro ids now being
projected, there will be a rapid influx
of population and capital to North
east Georgia.
The old war horse Wade Hampton
is to be rc-elected Governor of South
Carolina without opposition. Since
the reigu of carpet-baggers there has
been a great change among the col
ored voters of that State and they
are to vote for Wade Hampton, who
has kept all his promises to them,
with one accord.
Miss Eliza Maury, drughter of the
late Commodore M. F. Maury, pub
lishes a letter in the Richmond (Ya)
State, in which she proposes an organ
ization of the women of the State for
tho purpose of paying the State debt
Information for Correspondents.
In reply to numerous inquiries
with regard to Gainesville and its
neighborhood, we desire to state
that this beautiful little mountain
town, with a climate as sulubricras as
any on earth, is located on the Air
Line Railroad—s 2 miles Northeast
of Atlanta, the capital of the State of
Georgia at an elevation of 1220eet
above the level of the Atlantic
Ocean.
It has four churches, two school
houses and forty stores, with a popu
lation of about 2500 inhabitants.
At this time, roses are in full
bloom, the trees are covered with
leaves, and all nature is decked in
its spring garb.
In this immediate section tha
winters usually commence about the
first of December, and spring begins
about the first of April, at timas ear
lier, sometimes later. During the
past winter, snow fell to the depth of
three inches, in the month of Feb
ruary; since then no snow has fallen.
The soil around town is capable of
yielding a half bale of cotton or
twenty bushels of oorn to the acre.—
All the cereals and fruits usually
found in the valley sections of the
Piedmont range aro here produced
with very little labor—good land can
be purchased at from $5 to $lO per
acre, houses rent at from $5 to $lO
per month, and are in demand.

he is able to offer goods at prices entirely without competition.

Not beinor trammeled by tbe ties of partnership, nor by the business ideas of. other day , lo r -g since grown obsolete, he has the bold-
