“Harmony is essential for success,
and I am struggling for harmony.’’
—//. 11. Hill.
The first hale of new cotton left
Brownsville, Texas, on -Tune 27th

The European Congress is busily
engaged in dismembering and parcel
ing out the Turkish Empire.
‘T am an organized Democrat, and
never intend, under any circum
stances, to fight the organization.”—
B. II Hill.
Mr. Potter’s committee is having a
lively time, and occasionally makes
rich developments—strikes a bonan
za, as it were.
Col. James R. Brown published a
card declining to submit his name
to the nominating Convention which
met in Kingston yesterday.
“In organization is the only means
by which men of common opinions
and purposes can ever hope to win
success.”— B. 11. Hill.
Those who have been putting B.
H. Hill down as an Independent
Democrat havn’t had the pleasure of
an interview with him lately, doubt
less.
The question of “fence or no
“fence” was voted on in Richmond
county on last Monday. Tho vote
was small but “fence” won by a de
cided majority.
By the recent redistricting of the
State of Ohio, Hon. Charles Foster,
President Hayes’ mutual friend, has
to contend againt a Democratic ma
jority of 3,000.
From present indications it is
highly probably the split between
Mr. Stephens and a portion of the
Democrats in the eighth district,
will be bridged and that Mr. Ste
phens will receive the nomination.

“Of all the Southern States, Geor
gia made the most uncompromising
and the most effective resistance, and
won the first complete deliverance*
The result is, Georgia is a full decade
in advance of her Southern sisters in
anew career of progress and pros
perity.”—B. 11. Hill.
You can no more have a party
without organization than you can
have a church without a rule of
action, an army without discipline,
or a government without law; for
where law ends, anarchy begins. The
proposition is too absurd for serious
consideration.
Senator Thurman says tho Demo
cratic party was never in belter con
dition for a contest; that its record
in Congress was excellent; that it
had done a large amount of work
which was gratifying to the people,
and that the Potter investigation
will help the pavty, especially since
the title of Hayes is not to be as
sailed.
We have received the first number
of the Northeastern Progress pub
lished at Harmony Grove by Malcom
Stafford. Tho Progress is neatly
printed, sprightly and newsy and
shows by its arragement and general
make up that an experienced hand is
at the helm. In politics the Progress
is Democratic which means that it is
squarely for organization. Success
and long life brother Stafford.
An independent candidate, as par
ties now stand in Georgia, may be
defined to be a political trickster,
who is ready to betray his political
friends and deceive his political op
ponents—one who does not hesitate
to sacrifice principle for promotion,
and who, while scheming for the
support of the carpet-baggers and
scalawags, has not the courage or
the manliness to array himeslf under
their banner. Let none such be
trusted. —Savannah News.
The Agricultural meeting on Tues
day though not largely attended was
nevertheless quite interesting. Two
committees were appointed—one to
solicit subscription of stock, and the
other to select grounds and make
estimates of the cost of enclosing the
same and of the buildings necessary.
Both committees are to report at the
next meeting. At last this matter
has taken definite shape and if these
two committees shall discharge their
duties efficiently work can be com
menced very soon after the next
meeting.
*‘Lifo in the old Land Yet.”
Hon. B. H. Hill, in his letter to
the Constitution of second inst., has
this to say of the organization of the
Democratic party in 1867:
“The Convention was a large one
and composed almost equally of old
Whigs and Democrats, and represen
ted all the best population of the
State. And when I saw, as I did
aee, life-long Whigs like Cabiness, of
Monroe, and Reynolds, of Newton,
unite with life-long Democrats like
Query, of Quitman, and Wright, of
Floyd, and run up a common Demo
cratic flag and vow to follow it until
the robber bands of bayonet rule
were driven from power in our State.
I did exclaim with a glad heart,
‘Thank God there is life in the old
land yet.’ ”
”1 affi a DeLSlOCfat unabridged. I
believe in organization, but I am not
blind to the fact that conventions
have sometimes been improperly
used, and men who use them for in
dividual ends ought to be repudiated
as the very worst enemies of the
party. I always have submitted, and
always intend to submit to the will
of my own party.”— B 11. Hill.
Hon. It. if. ilill an Independent.
“I see no hope for the future—no
hope for the preservation of our free
institutions—no chance to rescue the
country from the domination of
fraud and corruption, except in the
success of the Democratic party.”—
B. II Hill.
Is this paragraph “independent’’
enough for the Independents? It
suits our views exactly, but we see
“mortile” little comfort in it to those
who are engaged in tho herculesn
task of disrupting the Democratic
party.

The Meeting Tuesday.
The Democratic convention held
in the court house on Tuesday, was
one of the most harmonious meetings
of the kind we have ever attended.
Being a very busy season with the
farmers, the attendance, though quite
respectable in numbers, was not as
large as it would have been other
wise. It was gratifying to see so
many of the most prominent, solid
and influential citizens of the county
present, and participating in its de
liberations. The interest manifested
together with the harmony and good
feeling which characterized the de
liberations throughout, was evidence
sufficient to convince every one pres
ent that the people of our county, at
least, understand the importance of
organization, and that they propose
to think and act for themselves, re
gardlrss of tho pratings and clamor
ings of disappointed and sore-head
politicians. We have no* hesitancy
in assuring our friends everywhere
that when the time arrives the voters
of Hall county will give a good ac
count of themselves.
Some Tilings that Congress Did.
On reaching his home, from
Washington City on Monday last,
Mr. Speaker Randall received a very
cordial greeting from Lis friends in
in Philadelphia. Iu responding to
this welcome, Mr. ltandall mentioned
in detail many of the reform measure
and commeuable acts of the last
Congress, and among other things
said:
Let me tell yon what the past Con
gress has done. Iu the first place,
one of the brightest spots on its
escutcheon is the passage of tho Army
Bill. This Bill takes from the Presi
dent or his representative the power
to use the army as a pose comitatus to
enslave and subjugate the people of
any State. Mr. Hayes has already
instructed has Secretary of War to
obey the law% and ,1 consider its
accomplishment as a triumph for the
Democracy that will last for a cen
tury, and bear forth good fruit.
■ Next, the last Crongres is worthy of
commendation in that they procured
a settlement between the Goverment
and the Pacific Railroads, and it is
now a law that they shall pay into
the United State Treasury $1,200,000
a year; to be set aside as a Sinking
the bonds issued to them.
The House has said that hereafter
all Southern war claims shall be ad
judicated by the Judiciary of the Uni
ted States, and that Congress can have
nothing to do with their considea
tion. This act alone has taken away
one of the campaign thunders of our
opponents, and has silenced them
forever in that respect. In addition
to this, the last Congress; in answer
to the great manufacturing interests
of the country, has repealed the
Bankrupt Law; a law I have always
opposed.
There is another matter of legisla
tion by the last Congress of great
importance to the country. We
have remonetized silver, which by
the gold interests of the United States
and Europe was demonetized in
stealth and secrecy. Nay, more, we
have gone further than that: We
have said to Secretary Sherman-
You shall not decrease the volume
of currency in this country; and by
the first of October next green
backs will be received by the Gov
ernment in payment for all dues.
The Ohio Dem cracy.
Three years ago the Democratic
party of Ohio took an advanced posi
tion on the currency question. Since
that time they have been battling
manfully, not only against the Re
publican party, but also with the
moneyed influence in their own par-
tjr. shs Sohfiicl has befen kept tip
however Until many of the leadings
features of their platfurm adopted at
that time have been adopted by the
advocates of currency reform through
out the country and have also been
recognized by Congress as shown by
its recent legislation on that subject.
On Wednesday of last week the
Democrats of Ohio in State Conven
tions again announced their creed in
in the following clear and ringing
sentences:
“The Democratic party of Ohio, in
Convention assembled, hereby reaf
firms the following clauses in the
platform of the Convention of July
25, 1877, indorsed, by a majority of
more than 22,000, last fall by the
people of Ohio. We renew its
pledges of devotion to the Union
and the Constitution, with the
Amendments. It declares as essen
tial to the preservation of free Gov
ernment a faithful adherence to the
following principles: A strict con
struction of Home Rule; the su
premacy of the civil over the military
power; separation of Church and
State; equality of all citizens before
the law; liberty of individual action,
unvexed by sumptuary laws; abso
lute acquiescence in the lawfully ex
pressed will of the majority; opposi
tion to all subsidies; the preservation
of the public lands for the use of
actual settlers, and the maintenance
and perfecting of the Common School
system. Ab pertinent to the issues
now pending before the people:
Resolved, That an investigation of
frauds committed at the last Presi
dential election in Florida and
Louisiana ought to have been made
by the Electoral Commission. Its
refusal to do so was in violation of
of the spirit of the law under which
it was organized and a gross outrage
upon the people of the United States,
and while the decision, as made by
the Forty-fourth Congress, of the
question as to who should be de
clared President of the United States
for the present Presidential term
was, in our judgment, final, that de
cision ought not to preclude an au
thentic investigation and exposure
of all frauds connected with that
election, and the due accountability
of all who wore guiltily concerned
with them.
Resolved, The commercial and in
dustrial stagnation that has so long
prevailed throughout the country
and the consequent depression and
suffering are due directly to the per
nicious financial legislation of the
Republican party, which we hereby
arraign for its acts and charge: First,
That at the time when the country
was weighed down with debt, crea
ted on a basis of a full jyolume .of
paper added to both the precious
metals as money, it enacted a sweep
ing change in the measure of value
wholly in the interest of moneyed
capital by demonetizing silver and
decreeing the destruction of legal
tender paper, and thereby wrong
fully added, in effect, hundreds of
of millions to the burden of the debt
and taxes upon the people. Second
ly* by pursuing its merciless policy
of contracting the paper currency
and hoarding gold, it has increased,
continuously, the value of money
and securities that partake cf the
enhancement of money, and de
creased the value of all other prop
erty, and especially of capital de
signed for productive use and re
quired for the employment of labor,
thus repressing instead of fostering
industry; compelling idleness in
stead ot sustaining trade and com
mence, and now this party in Ohio
pats forward in its platform the
declaration that the financial ques
tion has been settled. We deny this
declaration, and while we congratu
late the country that the downward
course to bankruptcy and ruin in
volved in the Republican policy has
been partially averted by the Demo
cratic measures passed at the late
session of Congress, restoring the
debt paying power to silver dollars,
made a law in spite of tlie Presiden
tial veto, and stopping the further
destruction of greenbacks, we de
mand as further acts of justice, as
well as measures of relief, the abso
lute repeal of the Resumption Act
and the liberation of the coin hoarded
in the Treasury; the removal of all
restrictions to the coinage of silver
and re-establishment of silver as a
money metal the same as gold the
same as it was before its fraudulent
demonetization; the gradual substi
tution of United States legal tender
paper for National Bank notes, and
its permanent establishment as the
sole paper money of the country,
made receivable for all dues to the
Government, and of equal tender
with coin, the amount of such issues
to be so regulated by legislation or
organic law as to give the people an
assurance of the stability in volume
of currency and consequent stability
of value; no further increase in the
bonded debt and no further sale of
bonds for the pnrehase of coin for
resumption purposes, but the grad
ual extinction of the public debt;
rigid economy and the reduction of
expenditures in all branches of the
public service, and tariff for revenue
only.
Resolved, That the interests of the
industrial wealth-producing classes
is the paramount interest of the peo
ple of the United States. Those
whose labor and enterprise produce
wealth should be secure in its enjoy
ment. Our warmest sympathy is
eVlcoded Ic lac laboring
have been thrown out of
ment by the ruinous financial policy
and unjust legislation of t*& Reput*
lican party, and w T e pledge the
Democratic party to a reversal of
that policy and a restoration of all
the rights they are entitled to upon
its ascendency to power.
Resolved, That there eSh be no
legitimate employment of organized
force in this country except., to exe
cute law and maintain thf public
peace; that no violence should be
countenanced to obtain redress for
any alleged grievance, but should be
repressed at every cost, unAil relief
can be secured by legal methods
We congratulate the country on the
adoption of the constitution and pa
cific policy of local government in the
States of the South, so long advoca
ted by the Democratic pajfr,
which has brought peace and harmo
ny to that Bection of the Union.
MINES AND MINIfiC.
BV WM. W. HABERSHAM. 1
THE NEW ERA IN GEORGIA MII*NG.
During the past fifty yegra, the
fact has been well that
not only gold, but silverAopper
and other metals were to bßpund
in the mountains of Georgia^®
In 1828, Dr. M. F. Stephen®! the
distinguished Geologist and !|wieral
ogist, whilst prospecting to the
mountains of Georgia, disftvered
fine gold in the gravel in the s*eams,
and made known to the worll, that
the rocky portions of the mowfeams,
which were supposed to be valueless,
contained a vast amount of that pre
cious metal; and predicted, tnat in
the course of time, the Statetwould
be as greatly renowned for iljr min
eral wealth, as for its agricultural
resources and salubrity of its cli
mate.
Thus far, the prediction ot. this
erudite scholar has been in
the discovery of gold mines ortgreat
value, which have yielded a vast
amount of wealth, and which at this
time are attracting the attention of
capitalists. Numerous quarts .mills
are in successful operation in Cjhero
kee, Lumpkin, White, Habersham,
Rabun and other counties, and prep
arations are being made to prospect
the rich lots which are to be found
throughout the mineral range, with a
view of developing them. #
Within five miles of Gainesville,
Hall County, Georgia, will be found
a very rich portion of the mineral
belt containing an abundance of ar
gentiferous galena, which assays
richly in gold and silver, and which
is destined in the future to play a
prominent part in the political econo
my of our country. There
points of intere'st in this section; nd
the western miner is attracted by
peculiarities strongly resembling
those of the richest portion of the
mining sections of the Northwest,
where the richest mines are being
worked.
In 1858, that portion of Nevada
now yielding fabulous amounts of
gold and silver, was prospected and
worked for gold alone. In working
the gold mines auriferous and argen
tiferous galena, or lead containing
gold and silver, was found, and
thrown aside as being worthless.—
In the fall of that year, the Grosch
Brothers realized, that the dark blue
melaliferous ore containe 1 gold and
silver, and made the fact known to
the capitalists of San Francisco, who
immediately took advantage of the
information, and purchased the prin
cipal portion of the mining interest.
They immediately commenced op
erations on a large scale; and iu a
few years the Comstock gold and sil
ver mines became renowned.
The following facts are worthy of
note, viz:
Ist. That the top-rock or crop
pings of the argentiferous galena
mines of Hall county, Georgia -have
been thoroughly assayed, and are
found to contain a larger amount of
gold and silver, than was found in
the same character of ore in the
Comstock mines.
2nd. That at the depth of 45 feet,
a larger amount of auriferous and
argentiferous galena ore has been
taken from a shaft upon the Low
man & Company silver mine near
Gainesville, Georgia, than has ever
been derived from any shaft on
the Comstock mines, at a like depth.
3rd. That the facilities for work
ing the Georgia silver mines are
much greater than those of the mines
of Nevada.
That the portion of the mineral
belt extending from North Carolina,
through Georgia into Alabama, for a
distance of over one hundred miles
has been thoroughly prospected, and
is found to contaiu mines of gold,
silver, copper and other metals,
throughout the whole distance.—
Hence we may naturally conclude,
that the future prospects of the min
iug portion of Georgia, are equally
as great, as were those of the richest
mining section of the Sierra Nevada
mountains, when the Comstock Lead
was first discovered.
In August 1876 the writer, was at
tracted to Northeast Georgia, by the
report, from a reliable source, that
silver as well as gold had been dis
covered in large quantities ia Hall
county. On visiting the Harris mine
near Gainesville, he found Col. H. L.
Lowrnan of New York, a Nevada rni
ner of great
gaged in opening
tfl l,’ -?“!*!
R|rad being Convinced 5f Its fidh-
S3.
To this gentleman’s indomitable
perseverance and industry, is attribu
table the fact, that we have at this
time a fully developed silver mine in
our State,, and to him should we ac
cord the credit of being the Pioneer
Silva' Miner of Georgia. By his in
telligence and foresight, it has been
fully demonstrated, that with the or
dinary quartz mill, manufactured by
Messrs. Porter and Meakin of At
lanta, and the Frue Vanning Ma
chine, all the metaliferom ore of
Georgia can be successfully worked.
Anew Era in mining is about to
dawn upon us.
An industry has been opened in
our midst, which if taken advantage
of, will not only serve to make the
rich man richer, but will give em
-Btevmewt' sands who are
now seeking a livelihood in the
South.
Valedictory.
Other duties compel me to discon
tinue my connection with the Gaines
ville Eagle as its mining editor.
During the time I have been oc
cupied in writing for the paper, it
has been my every endeavor to pre
sent to the public my convictions
with regard to the character of the
great mineral belt extending through
the Northern portion of our noble
State, and to draw the attention of
capitalists to the many advantages
possessed by the State of Georgia
over other sections of the Union.
Should my humble efforts have
proven successful, I feel that I
shall have accomplished a good
work.
I trust some abler pen may be
found to continue the work which I
have begun, and to present to the
world facts, in connection with the
mineral and agricultural resources of
Northeast Georgia.

T>EGB THE ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC TO THU FOLLOWING FACTS, and will be grateful for a close and critical exam
inatiou of the Goods and Prices in his Stock, which are here referred to, this being the largest stock he has ever offered. Having
just returned from Kew York, where he was in daily atteudauce upon Trade Auction Sales, picking up stirprisiug bargains, and oftr
being tempted iuto buying goods entirely out of his line, but which were literally slaughtered, (such as Carpets, Hats, Caps, etc.,)
he is able to offer goods at prices entirely without competition.
THIS IS A VERY BOLD SAYING, BUT IT IS A TRUE ONE!
Not being trammeled by the ties of partnership, nor by the busiuess ideas of other day , lo- g since grown obsolete, he has the bold
ness to take hold of immense lines of Goods whenever he can obtain them at the lowest prices; and then, having carried
an abundance of cash with him, he had advantages, on a laros scale, from which many otLers are debarred
in the purchase of Goods. The stock is IMMENSE ! The PRICES LOWER than ever before !
DRESS GOODS, SILKS, GRENADINES!
Everything new in Dress Fabrics, including Damasse, Faconue, Brocatelle, and Bourrette Fabrics.
Everything in “ Clair de Lune ” and Knickerbocker flue Grenadines. Price almost half what is asked elsewhere.
Black Grenadines in immense variety, from Kobbe & Ball’s auction sale. Half price.
Buntings in all colors, 25 cents per yard—choice goods, new colors.
Fifty pieces Black Brilliantine, light summer weight, 35 cents per yard—warranted worth 50 cents elsewhere.
Three thousand yards solid color Gross Grain Silks, from auction—6o cents per yard, selliug elsewhere at SI.
Five thoesand yards elegant spring Striped Silks, choicest grades—so cents per yard. ( This is not a mere spoonful of goods, put
down below cost to create a “breeze ”in trade. I have one hundred pieces of them from auction, aud make a profit on every one I
sell. They were slaughtered in New York.)
Five hundred yards elegant Black Dress Silk—7s cents per yard, selling everywhere at sl.
Four thousand two hundred yards choice imported Black Gross Grain Silks—sl per yard, guaranteed as good as sell here at sl.sq
The best and cheapest line of Colored Gross Grain Silks iu Georgia, just opeued from auction.
Thirty pieces Black Cashmeres, at prices beyond the whisper of competition. "*32^
A SPECIALTY.
One hundred and fifty cut lengths, running from one to three dress patterus each, $1.50 per yard, which cost $2 iu gold to land in this
country, but they had to go to the Merciless Auction Room All the novelties in Spiiug Silks, including
Black aud White Checks, Colored Stripes, etc., very cheap.
One Word about Those Silks—Buy Them at Once, You will Never See Them Again!

C. 11. C. WILLINGHAM, Editor.
The Free Press will be the unflinching
exponent of the fr ,-e and independent voters
and the friends of political freedom through
out the Seventh Congressional district: and
will support Hon. W. H. FELTON as the
independent candidate for Congress, who
has proven himself to be a firm and true ex
ponent of Jeffersonian Democracy. The
Free Press will earnestly advocate these
principles (the dostrine of .Jeffersonianism)
as the liberal political tenets that recognize
the right of the people to govern themselves
independent of the edicts of juntas, rings,
cliques, or combinations, organized under
whatever name, to defeat the popular will
for merely partisan purposes, or to advance
the schemes of personal ambition. The
Free Press will be. in a word, what its
name imports, an independent journal—a
“sentinel upon the watch-tower” of public
liberty, to warn the people of all danger to
their rights and the cause of “law and or
der,’’and to thwart all attempts by corruption
and iu rigue to overthrow or impair good
government.
