Maj. 11. ( kenhuir.i letter is rneetiDg
with general favor with the press of
the State.
Do not fail to read the article “or
ganiz'd Democracy,” on onr first
page. It is clear, forcible and to the
point.
The Ohio Democrats are in coun
cil. They lead off every year and
the country generally follows, sooner
or later.
The Independents are growing
more mild. They find that the
cloth is too small for the garment
they are at work on.
It now looks as if the European
complications w’ould soon be adjus
ted and the threatened war post
poned, at least for a time.
Mrs. Jenks it would seem, is a di
rect dependent of the celebrated
Captain of the same name, who is
credited in song with mixing beans
with corn for horse food.
The Mexican border is not alto
gether as quiet just now as it might
be. If the “foolishness” down there
isn’t stopped, Mexico will be “Ameri
canized” at an early day.
The Georgia State Dental Associa
tion will meet in Atlanta Ga., on
2!Hh of July. The profession are
all invited to bo present and partici
pato in the proceedings.
The European Congress as yet,
has made but little progress in its
work of adjustment. If, is kept un
der cover, but the real point is, is to
whether Russia or England, or both
together, shall administer on Tur
key .
When an agent is to bo selected to
transact our business wo had much
sooner risk the judgment of sixty
sterling solid citizens who have a
interest with us, than that of one
seeking the appointment though he
may be unanimous.
Our pooplo should bear in mind
that uext Tuesday is the time for se
lecting delegates to the Congression
al Convention. Let the people turn
out, take Urn matter in hand and se
lect pure and true mou who will
faithfully represent their interets.
In the late Democratic State Con
vention of North Carolina the princi
pal interest was the contest between
the friends of (lov. Vance ami Sena
tor Merrimon, in which tho former
triumphed. This indicates the elec
tion of Vance to tho United States
Senate.
When Dill Arp and Col. Langston
(the member from Franklin) met in
Gainesville Wednesday, it brought
forcibly to mind the stormy days of
tho confederacy and more particu
larly tho saving of tho two pairs of
archives, when Milledgevillo was
evacuated.
Brother Hockenhull, Chairman of
th Democratic Executive Commit
tee, of the Ninth, blows the right
kind of a bugle to his party. Al
though Mr. Speer is quite sarcastic
and humorous as to this gentleman,
his late address will do good and be
hard to counteract. —Griffin News.
Another wonderful cave has re
cently been discovered near Glasgow
Junction, Ky. It has been explored
for a distance of twenty-three miles
in one direction and sixteen miles in
another direction. It is larger than
the Mammoth Cave, and has three
rooms in it. Six mummies were ex
humed.
In the last campaign, Emory Speer
was an independent candidate be
cause, as he said, the counties in the
district were unequally represented
in the convention. He cannot have
that excuse now, for if wo understand
Mr. Hockeuhnll’s circular a change
has been made. But Emory will be
a candidate nevertheless. —Atlanta
Constitution.
The New York Sun says this year
only about twenty Congressmen
celebrated the close of the session by
getting drunk. This is a great im
provement on the good old times.
But twenty druuken antics in the
chamber of the House of Representa
tives, are just twenty too many, and
tbo constituences will do well to
reduce tlio number at the next elec
tions.
Politically everything in this dis”
trict is ns favorable as could be de
sired. The disorganizes have been
making herculean, but misdirected
efforts to excite and enthuse, but the
thing would not work and as might
have been expected a collapse fol
lowed. The people are quietly pre
paring to select a standard-bearer
and when this is done they will elect
him by an overwhelming majority.
Mr. Watterson of the LouisvilH
Courier-Journal and Hon. Abram S.
Hewitt are having a spirited contro
versy about who is responsible
among the Democrats for the sue
cess of the electoral commission.
Watterson says ho did, and Hewitt
says he didn’t and there the matter
stands for the present with the blood
a little heated and another commis
sion in Bight.
The Democratic majority on joint
ballot in the Oregon Legislature
turns out to be twelve.
It is gravely asserted that the
Mormons are at the bottom of the
concentration of hostile Indians in
Idaho under Buffalo Horn ami Ban
nicky Jim. The whole movement is
said to have been planned by the
Mormon priesthood who publicly
proclaim that the Indians are the
lost tribes of Israel and thousands of
them have been baptized into the
Mormon faith.
A Massachusetts court has sen
tenced Chase, the defaulting treas
urer of one of the ruined Fall River
cotton mills, to twelve years' impris
onment in the penitentiary. This is
a severe sentence, and it falls upon
one who a few months ago was at the
top of the social ladder in* his baili
wick—living in splendor and sur
rounded by all the indications of a
substantial affluence.
The Republican papers of the
country are greatly troubled over
the position occupied by Gen. Benj
F. Butler of precious (?) memory to
the good people of New Orleans
during the war. It is thought he is
preparing a grand scheme for the
demolition of the leaders of the Re
publican and Democratic parties,
that he may stand some chance of
being made President by the Nation
al party. Let’s see, “Butler.” That
don’t sound right. He will never be
President.
Yes, Hall county has 1908 voters
and is only entitled to Ihe same rep
resentation in the Congressional
Convention that Towns is, with only
500 voters. But then Hall in a law
making body—the House of Repre
sentative of the State of Georgia—is
only entitled to one representative
the same as Union. Well this may
not be fair but then such men as
Robt. Toombs, Clias. J. Jenkins, A.
R. Wright, Gen. Wofford, Gen. Gar
trell, and our own Moses Brian, and
Martin Grayham have said in the
Constitution it is right, and we agree
with them. The representation in
onr Convention is fashioned after
this law end we presume the people
will ratify tho action of the Executive
Committee by the same rousing ma
jority that, was given the Constitu
tion last fall.
True Independence.
If a person unacquainted with the
true political history of the niuth
district, was to form his opinion of
the situation from the blatant clarn
orings of the so-called Independents,
he would conclude that the great
body of its voters were a set of gal
ley-slaves led about by a few politi
cal autocrats and schemers, and that
everything like freedom of thought
and of action, as well as manhood
were wholly wanting iu tho mass of
the people, when in fact, nothing is
further from the truth. It the peo
ple of this district have one charac
teristic more clearly marked than all
others, it is their individuality.—
Their habits, education, modes of
thought, and the very air they
breathe all conspire to develop this
distinctive trait, and any intimation
that they have been, or could, led
about by a set of political schemers
and tricksters is a slander upon their
character, which we repel.
That the organization of the
Democratic party in the district is
defective wo freely admit, and that
some things have been done in the
name of the party that should be
condemned none will deny, but with
these defects, to mar its symmetry,
its friends have abundant reason to
be proud of its history. It has al
ways beeu the party of the constitu
tion and the people, and instead of
oppressing any or abridging their
rights, it has always favored the most
enlarged freedom of the citizen con
sistent with its duty to society. This
principle has been kept in view in its
teaching and discipline. The high
est test by which any measure or
party can be tried, is results. When
weighed by this standard how dots
the Democratic party of the niuth
district stand ? This issue can be
met by Democrats, not only with
complacency but with emotions of
pride and exultation. Take each of
the standard bearers selected by the
organized Democracy since the war
and try him by the severest test and
he will at least come up to the stand
ard of a good average representative
of the people. No one has proved
incompetent or false to the trust
confided to him by the people, but
ou the contrary each and every one
has served his constituents with fi
delity and ability, reflecting credit
upon himself and honoring his dis
trict, State aud section.
This much as to the results of or
ganization in our own district. Now
when we come to examine the man
ner and mode of selecting these
standard bearers, while there have
been irregularities as we are free to
admit, still these have not worked to
the oppression of the people or to
the abridgement of their rights, even
in the remotest degree. If so we
would be obliged to any one to name
the time, place and the circumstances
under which it was done. A single
instance cannot be given, however
informal aud irregular it may have
beeu, which iu its results affected iu
any manner the rights of the citizen.
And all this loud talk about Hugs,
cliques and tricksters, is the merest
bosh and clap-trap intended to cie-1
ceive and mislead the unwary.
In the face of these facts, and they
are matters of history, why it may
be asked, are these so called Inde
pendents continually talking so ve
hemently about rings, tricksters and
schemers and call so frantically upon
the people to rise and crush them
out? The answer is, that when the
Democracy of the District meets in
convention there will be present as
representatives of the people over ;
sixty of her most prominent citizens !
whose great aim will we to subserve j
the best interests of the country,
arid whom these disorganizes well
know from sad experience, cannot be j
coaxed, blarneyed nor forced to rec- j
ognize the claims of those whose
. . j
chronic ambition and greed for of
fice has led them to attempt the vain
but futile task cf disrupting the
Democratic party of the district and
of riding into powtr upon its ruins-
The Democracy of the ninth dis
trict fully recognizes the fact that it
wa9 through organization, unity and
harmony that Georgia was rescued
from the 1 auds of the despoilers and
law and order restored to the people
of the grand old commonwealth, and
now' when through the same means,
they are on the eve of regaining full
control of the General Government,
they do uot have the remotest idea
of relaxing their labors, or of com
promising witii ibeir until
the w’ork is fully accomplished, and
constitutional government restored
to the people in every nook aud cor
ner in this broad land.
MINES AND MINING.
r.Y WM. W. HABEIiSHAM
THE RESOURCES OF N. E. GEORGIA.
In reply to the numerous letters
which wo are receiving, fi\,m parties
inquiring about the advantages of
immigrating to Georgia, we pro
pose to give a 8} uopsis of the min
eral and other resources of our Stale,
and to leave it to them to decide, if
it will be to their advantage to seek
homes in this portion of our common
country
Within the past ten years Georgia
has, Phcaaix like, risen from the
ashes of the late conflict, and now
stands foremost among her sister
States in the race for the supremacy.
She is admired by tho entire world,
as an example of what may be ac
complished by indomitable preser
vance, and a do'emanation to do
right in all things, and under all
circumstances. Her people are to
day law-abiding, and ready to take
part in everything having a tenden
cy to promote the general interest cf
the community.
Were it uot for the natural advan
tages which Georgia possesses over
other sections of tho Union, she
would uot at this time have attained
the enviable position she now occu
pies, and her sons would be wander
ers upon the face of the earth, in
stead of being occupied as they are>
in “putting their shoulder to the
wheel,” and in striving bv hard work
to overcome obstacles, aud to become
independent.
The stranger who visited Georgia
immediately after tho late war, aud
observed its disastrous effects, is sur
prised to find upon the return, after
an absence of only a few years, the
evidences of prosperity which are
everywhere apparent, and naturally
concludes, that such a people may bo
forced to yield, but that they can
never be conquered.
Persons who contemplate immi
grating, should consider well, before
they attempt to carry out so serious
an undertaking. The desire of
change, so prevalent in the human
mind, is one of greatest causes o*
misery to mankind. It is very tlifli
cult to be content with our lot, and
until vve have acquired the experi
ence of frequent changes, we are
unable to appreciate the many bless
ings and comforts of a home, “be it
ever so humble.”
Iu affording information with re
gard to tho resources of Georgia;
we can only reiterate what we have
before set forth, viz: That the re
sources of Northeast Georgia uilbr to
capitalists a fleld for investments
with such prospects of profits as
have rarely been presented. With
the outbreak of the late war, mining,
with all kindred industries ceased in
Georgia; but under the influence of
returning peace, it has started into
new life, with a vigor aud strength of
capital unknown in early days.—
During the past few years, old com
panies have returned to their work
with enlarged means, while new com
paues have entered the promising
field with abundant capital.
The result of recent mining opera
tions have beeu such iu this and the
adjoining couuties, as to give abau
j daut assurance, that our most san
j guine calculations upon the mineral
j wealth of Northeast Georgia have
j been below the fact, and that it re-
I quires but skilled aud persevering
industry to make this mineral sec
tion one of the most famous of the
continent.
The climate of Northeast Georgia
:is as salubrious as any on the face
of the earth. The Appalachian
range here extends and changes its
course from Northeast and South
west to East and West, and while it
breaks the force of the bleak north
winds of winter; the cool breezes
from the mountains moderate the
summer heat, and renders this sec
tion a most delightful resort fox per
sons residing on the Sea Coast. .
While emigrants from the Northern ■
States will find comparatively little
frost or snow to impede farm work
iu winter, they will experience no de
bilitating heat in simmer.
The water is generally pure free
stone, and of such temperature iu
summer as to dispense with all
need of ice. In nearly every neigh
borhood there are springs contain
ing iron, sulphur, magnesia, and
other minerals, to which invalids
from other sections resort, and by
whose medicinal properties they are
restored to health. Every variety
of soil may be found here. The well 1
watered valleys are very fertile,
while there are productive lauds at
all elevations, even to the tops of the
mountains.
For excellency and variety of tim
ber, this section is probably unsur
passed. \\ itil an abundant supply
of material, aud its innumerable wa
ter powers unutihz id and unappre
ciated, Northeast Georgia offers most I
attractive inducements to the wood
manufacturer.
The princioal cereals are produced
with comparatively little labor.y-
Vegetables aud fruits grow almost
spontaneously. Frequently a bale i
of cotton is produced to the acre. I
Both the climate and the soil seem I
peculiarly ad ipted to the production
of tobacco, and its culture is :ctarded
only by the laws which embarrass its
sale.
Nothing but want of transporta
tion facilities has presented this sec
tion from being thickly settled long
ago.
Since the completion of the Air
Line Riilroad, numerous villages
have sprung up all > long its course,
as if by magic, and are constantly
growing, while the rural population
is advancing with equal progress.
When the roads now in course of
construction are completed, there
will evidently be a rapid influx of
population amt capital to this desira
ble region. To our friends who are
desirous of immigrating, we would
say come ! you will be cordially re
ceived and onfoitained; and vve trust
tho numerous advantages which our
State possesses, will induce you to
make your homes iu Georgia.
