The people are ljesp&t’tfullv invited to attend these appointments, and the Democratic papt-rapa-e requested to give them publicity? U. P. Bell. - - Greenback anil With the platform of ttie Green back-Labor party limits entirety, no Democrat agrees, neither does many a man calling himself azQreenbacker. But there are many tilings in the Greenback platform which are good Democratic doctrines. Senator Thurman made a speech lately .in Ohio for the Democratic party, (of which mention has already been jpiade.in these columns) and Senator Wallace has done the same thing for the Democracy iu Pennsylvania. These leaders agree upon the finan ces and the entire Democratic with few exceptions, is in Record with them. / These gentlemen are opposed to national banks. Thev favor the re .. “ f tiring of all their currency and the substitution of United States Treas ury notes in their stead. They de sire greenbacks receivable* by the Government for customs dues and usable for all purposes t the same as gold and silver. They oppose also a further contraction of the currency. Now 6 this was 'Dim3&Atic, -before it’ was Greenback doctrine and is en dorsed by every Greenbacker. But these, distinguished leaders and all other Democrats insist that this currency, lie it more or less, must rest upon a basis of gold and silver dollars and be convertible at par with them at all times; that a silver doMcr, a gold dollar and a greenback I-- valuable to the nolaer night here, however, comes m a principle which divides by a wide gulf all Democrats aud such Green - backers as approve the Greenback platform. These latter especially re pudiate the idea of a redeemable or convertible currency of any kind. They insist upon what is now being called “Hat” money, that is a piece of paper of usual bank note size, upon which the Government has stamped “This is One Dollar,” or “This is One Thousand Dollars,” as the case may be. This currency is to be issued by law according to population and tp be based upon nothing but _ what they call the “national wealth,” and in this stuff all United States bonds must be paid as fast as they mature. Men who endorso such nroposi tions as these last aro not Green hackers, but visionaries of the worst kind. They are pursuing a course that will bring individual and nation al bankruptcy upon us as certainly as the sun will rise on the morrow, and they cannot expect sensible men of any party to act with them. The Democratic platform as laid down by Senators Thurman and Wallace is good enough for all Democrats and every Greenbacker, especially every Georgia Greenbacker, who de sires the success of his cause aud not the ruin of his couutry. Butler anil the Massachusetts Democracy. It is pleasing to note that the names of but few prominent Demo crats appear at the head of the howl ing mob which Beast Butler last week marshaled at Worcester as the Marsachusettß Democratic State Con vention. Taking possession by force in the dead hours of the night of the hall designated by the State Commit tee as the place for holding its ses sions, the Butler hoodlums refused to be removed from the convention ex cept by the shedding of blood. The State Committee, wisely we think left the beast and his followers in uu disturbed possession of the premises and adjourned the convention to meet at Fanueil Hall, Boston on Wednesday the 25th inst. We hope by this time the Democracy of Mas sachusetts have placed in nomination as their candidate for Governor a man entitled to the respect of all Democrats in the Union -and for whom every Democrat in Massachu setts can vote. But if the issue iu tho Bay State is narrowed down to a choice between Benjamin F. Butler and Thomas Talbot the Republican nominee, against whom nothing can be said except that he is a Republican and a temperance fanatic, the people of Massachusetts, without any distinc tion of party, should see to it that this most notorious and disreputa ble politician fails in this, tho one great desire of his heart. eAINESYIIXE.

They gain, instead of logo by Inde pendent or Greenback diversions*, but the danger is upon us. AVo lose add lose heavily by every here in politics, as it is from our par ty that the Independents and Green backers expect to recruit forces* If we wish to keep securu the Demo cratic majority in the next House, if we are desirous of a solid South in the next electoral lege, if we hope to elect a Democrat-,, ic President to conduct the" adminis tration of this government, with a Democratic congress at his back, for four years from March 4, 1881, it is necessary for us to realize that the crisis is now upon and act as be comes the situation. There is only one course for a Democrat to pursue aud that is to go to the polls on the fifth of Novem ber and vote for the reguUr nomi nee for Congress. He who votes another way is no Democrat in fact, however honest he may be inten tion?: He but deceives himself and injures the party to which he pro fesses to belong. Mr, Speer In Hall. Oif Wednesday of iam. Speer addressed the people of this county r at the Court House. He con fined himself strictly to denunciation of the convention system and abuse of Col. Billups conceiving these only to be the issues of this canvass. Not a word did „he say upon the great questions now brought home to every tax-payer and working man in tho land, nothing about the courso he would sliouldjiglit ning striker him and send him to con gress, except that ho worth! not bo bound at all by’ tho action of the Democratic caucus but would al ways vote for “Democratic princi ples,” that is “Speer principles, ’ as interpreted by Speer. Ho dwelt large ly upon the bill offered by Col. Bell for Col. Billups, as his father’s ad ministrator, and made statements re lating thereto of wMch anybody’ would ho ashamed—always excepting an independent candidate for con gress. He said Billups, before he could derive any benefit from that bill would have to take the ironclad oath that ho was a loyal citizen du ring the war aiid prepared at all times to aid the United States in subjugating this section. He knew, if he has general knowledge enough to entitle him to go to congress, that if Col. Billups could take the ironclad oath, the Court of Claims was open to him, but as he could not take the oath, he had to apply by special bill to congress which body has aud exercises the power to relievo both Federals and Confederates without any oath. He also stated that Col. Billups wanted to go to congress to vote for this bill w’hen he knew that no Senator or Member of the House of Representatives has a right by the law and rules of cou gress to vote upon any measure in which he is directly or indirectly in terested. If Mr. Speer is so igno rant, he is excusable, if he is not, he wilfully misrepresents Col. Billups for the sake of getting votes. In either case he is not fit to go to con gress. First Locomotive Trip. The first locomotive trial trip iu the United States, and, it is claimed, in the world, was made at Hones dale, Pa., 50 years ago, or, more pre cisely, August 8, 182S. The track was built by the Delaware and Hud son company to connect their mines with their canal. The engine was the “Stourbridge Lion” and its draw ings and construction were superin tended by its driver, Horatio Allen, at Stourbridge, England. Mr. Allen is still living at South Orange, N. J., 77 years of age, and he says that he made the trial trip on the “Stour bridge Lion” alone, as it was gener ally feared that it would leave the hemlock track at the curves or break down the trestle work across the Lackaw xen river. It did neither. It was more than a year after this If] me,* October 0, 1829, tl® r . re f, pec , t: *j I > , ir > - i to the hea/ ] son s “Rocket made its tna. *j a j England. Coi. J. A.

As the readers of your paper may feel some interest in affairs in this traus-Tmmntain country, and as you have heretofore been kind enough to allow your columns for such (focal /ftona as might chance to be of interest. I venture to with a short letter. . , Farmers are aud have been for fome closely engaged in pull ing fodder and preparing for another crop. We liavoy had no rain for a good the weather has been fine for saving fodder. We havehad, in some lopalities a slight touch of tire quite ertol. The corn crop is not yet matured/and would be injured by frost, plybably up to first of Oc- andome even later. The acre age iu corn ; is greater than usual, but the yields will be below au aver age. Revivals have been pro gressing in severflfeeighborhoods for the past few The people seem to be awake to their social and moral interests. They have caught tiue spirit, which, I am pleased to see is prevalent almost everywhere in r Georgia oil the subject of Sunday Schools, and have such schools in several neighborhoods. Some of those are largely attended, >md are doing vtoll. The desire upon The part of parents to educate their ‘children is very general, and the cpmmon schools are well attended. It is a matter of Regret that these scfiools,are so lived. In the midst of the varied interests and pursuits, our people find time to think of and discuss politics a little. I mention this, lest- you on the south side of the mountain should conclude that you enjoy a monopoly on this subject, or that there was but one side to the question here. Differ ence of opinion you know, is what provokes discussions on all ques tions, and this it is too, that stimulates inquiry. All lovers of truth should be glad that this is true. The popu- lation-of these mountains, though not thoroughly educated, is never theless essentially, a mentally active and thinking on,e, notwithstanding it has occasionally been made sport of by those who have afterwards found it necessary to, canvass it fqr votes. The people here really like to hear 'wilffljgfo blttf they will form theif own opinion, and tjjey are not rffer so easily mis lead Is to what-their interest and the country’s Interest is, as many suppose. Error often assumes a Bhape so plausible as to win, at least tem porarily, the support of well inform ed people, buC time and relleetiop usually I notice some fptter this and contigu ous <--oulCSkw 1 ing iu the Southron, say up hero is all for Speer for*Congress. Now, jdiave no authority to say whq it vote for and-yet I have as much authority, and pikhahly know as much about it as.tlrn*writers. I allijde to these writers, lest it might be thought that tho Democrats of these mountains were all dead or had all moved off. I want to assure you and your readers, that a good many of us are still here, and that we don’t understand the situation to be as re ported. Ido not pretend to say who people will vote for. No one has any authority to say now. Only one of the lias been heard here. The desire is wide-spread to hear the other one. I might give you some data for estimating proba bilities: This is a Democratic coun ty, and has so voted in every election since 1808, including that year. The same efforts have been made and re peated, to divide and disorganize tho party, that are being so persistently made now. Year by year, men who were once Republicans becoming convinced that it was best for the country that the government should change hands, have united with us. I believe in good faith. Tho efforts heretofore made, to divide and crip ple the party have failed. The sel fishness of those who would ruin it to aggrandise themselves is very great indeed, yet in the past, the patriotism of the people has proved too much for this selfishness great as it is. 1 may be permitted to say that I have no "doubt, when the people finally come to act, their patriotism and their wisdom will again be vindica ted, and a rebuke again bo adminis tered to the lamentable selfishness of the self constituted candidates for of fice, who, claiming to be Democrats, yet seek to divide and disorganize the party in the face of a watchful enemy aud that too when the great oppo sing forces in the government, are already being marshaled and prepar ed for "the momentous contest which is to determine, whether the govern ment of these states is to continue in the hands of the Republican party and be administered in the interest of bond-holders and money-changers for another weary term of years, or to pass into the hands of the Demo cratic party and be administered fairly and equitably for the whole people, and the toiling masses saved from ruin. The Democratic party is the only one that any sane man supposes can confront the party in power, witj.* any prospect of success. No one cr suppose that it will be strengthen by dividing or confusing it in cality of any State where it has an" istence.

With all the ingenuity which have given to surgical instruments aud instruments of precision, I was especially glad to seo the Uiiitod States stand at the side of Frauf such recognition.” ™ Remarkable Agricultural Gains. Tho United States are far in ad vance of any other couutry in point of agriculture, the development of this departure of industry having been truly marvelous in late years. Thus the corn crop increased from 768,330,000 bushels in 18G7 to 1,340,- 000,000 in 1877, or nearly one hun dred -per cent, in a single decade. The hog crop, which may be said to be the product of the corn crop, reached the enormous total for the year ending with last month of 9,- 048,566 head, an increase of rising a hundred per cent, during the last ten years. The yield of wheat for the past ten year was 360,000,000 bush els, or 50,000,000 more than was ever before produced. Deducting the amount necessary for home consump tion and seed, upward of 100,000,000 bushels are left for export. In al most all other farm products there has been nearly a corresponding in crease. As agriculture is generally conceded to be the foundation of all prosperity, better times surely ought not to be far off. Indeed, we believe the turning-point in the long road of depression has been reached, and that every step will now be in the direction of a normal and healthy condition of business. Notwith standing the dullness of trade, there is an undertone of confidence, with a better feeling in many branches of business. It is not based on any great degree of improvement in any quarter, but still an improvement is quite generally noticeable, and how ever slight, it is welcome as an indi catinni&the drift of a current which -ed au|-y Jjjead on to activity.—A\ is this|:>. |W. i _ ; News -’in General. - ~ 4—— CiffUbCit has,.a new fire company.

Com ment is unnecessary. —North Georgia Citizen.
