Gwinnett Herald. i \wki:mkmli,i;, ga. Wednesday, April 521, 187*1. The Gainesville Convention. We confidently cxpHfc'd to be able in ibis issue to present to o'ir reach rs tlie Democratic candidate for Congress from this district. The Convention assembled in Gainesville last Wednesday, and, as predicted by ns, the first ballot showed that neither Mr. Hill nor Bell could control enough votes to secure two thirds, and, as the Con vention had already adopted the two-thirds rule, it became evident that no nomination could be made, unless one or 'lie other side yielded, or an outside man was taken up who could command the support of the delegates. We publish in another column the proceedings of the Convention lip to the one hundred and fourth ballot, by which it will be seen that Mr Bell had up to that time a majority of five—Hill receiving 28 and bell 33 votes. For one hundred ballots afterward, Bell received 36 votes and Hill duly 23, giving Bell a majority of eleven votes, and lacking only fire votes of the majority of two-thirds neces sary to a nomination. Each party seemed determined stubbornly to stand by its man. The majority announced that they would not yield to the minority, and the minority will, as long as they can control twenty-two votes, defeat a nomination, unless the majority rule should be adopted. The Convention, we understand, remained in session until Saturday night, and occasionally balloted, without any material change in the vote of either candidate. How long this (arse will be continued we are unable to say. If it is the j object of each side to have their man or bust up the party, they’ will ; pci baps leinain there until the sth of May, when the party will settle the matter at the Polls by the elec tion of Col Pi ice. It lias always been the custom in political conventions to try fully the strength of the candidates, and when it is definitely ascertained that neither of them can get the nomination, to unite upon some ether,man and nominate him. This Convention seeni9 determined to make the contest one of endur ance, under the hope, we suppose, that the side that can endure the long, st ami has the most money to spend, will be able to get their man in. This is a practice very fre quently resorted to in the United States Congress to defeat some very obnoxious measure, but we have never heard of a political party adopting such tactics in their own ranks before that we remcmbei. We are willing to support either one of these gentlemen who may get the nomination, and if neither of them can be nominated, then we would just as cheerfully support any other good and able man who can get the nomination. We regaid harmony in the party and the maintenance of its organization intact as of infinitely more impor tance than the nomination of Hill or Bell. It speaks poorly for our ! district of twenty counties that it | cannot furnish a man capable of properly representing the district outside of the two candidates now before that body. Our judgment is that it is the duty of this Con veil, tion io make a nomination. That ia what the delegates were seleited and sent there lor, and we hope they will not adjourn without pre sent.ng to the people a standard bearer in the race. If they adjourn without making a nomination, the result will be that we will proba bly havfe half a dozen candidates in the field, with no time for the peo ple to get together and consult as to who is the most suitable man for the race, and it is just as likely that a Radical will be elected as a Democrat. We could mention half a dozen gentlemen who live in the district wlm would make able and faithlul representatives, and we hope, if harmony cannot be secured in anj other way, that the convention will nominate some one ot them. On the 353rd ballot the vote etood : Beil, 30 ; Hill, 25. AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.

Now add to this tile amount seiit from the State to the West for corn, meat, flour and hav, and we will have a debt sufficient to take almost the entire ctop of cotton raised.

Gilmer county responded with a divided vote, when Mr. Rucker, of Clarke, moved that a committee of five be appointed to inquire into the candidacy from Gilmer < ouuty. M'. Jameson of Towns, moved as a substitute, that the del -gale he allowed to make an explanation,and it iiis explanation was satisfactory, to then give him a seat. Dr. Watkins, the delegate from Giliner, then rose and explained to the effect that the chairman of the County Executive Committee called a meeting on the sth day of Febru ary last, to which call some twelve or fourteen men responded, and pro ceeded to select Mr. Hill delegates, l'iie people of the county were dis satisfied with this, and the chairman called another meeting,which select ed delegates untrammelled. lie represented hy proxy both sets of dele ates, and tbe delegation declar. |ed bv tbe convention eligible lie should cast his vote for as instructed, (ieiier d discussion ensued between Messrs.

A committee was then appointed by tbe chair to judge of the delegate’s eligibility, which retired ami the 1 body took a recess of 30 minutes. Ihe convention was again called to order, and the committee report led unanimously that the delegate I from Gilmer be admitiel to cast one bait tbe vote of the county lor > Hill, the remainder according to his [ judgment. His name was enrolled; whereupon Dr. Waikins objected to the report of the committee,"and begged to be relieved from voting for Gilmer couuly, under the restrictions im posed.

The convention was called to or der, and talloling began again: On the 49th Ballot Mr, Allied of Pickens arose and said he wanted a little diversion. He was getting tired of the monotony of the thing, and called on Habersham to do a lit tie “cutting up.” He said he had come to stay —“had brought his knitting along’ —but he wauled to be amused. On the 53d ballot, Grant of Haber sham arose and said lie was* tired of this nonsense. His remarks were exceedingly humorous, arm he was frequently inteirupled by applause.* On the 74 1 h ballot, an attempt was made to convince the minority that the perpetuation of the party oigans izatiun depended on their conceding to the majority.* Discussion followed, and eloquent speeches, in favor of Bel! and Hill, weiemade by Haral son of Union, Rucker of Claike, Turnbull of Banks,Stauley of Clarke, Mitchell of (Jlaik, and Allied of Pickens.

The Athens Watchman of the 14th instant has the following: “While in Homer last Veek we saw a portion ol the skeleton of an Indian which has been recently ex humed in the Hollingsworth neigh borhood, and connected with which there is a curious history. “Some five or six vears ago, Capt. I. W. Alexander, while on a visit to Alabama, learned from an uncle residing there, who is sutler intendent of tlie poor house, that a ver}’ aged Spanish woman who died at that institution, and who hail resided for many years among the Cherokee Indians, had frequently told him of the fabulous richness and great extent of a silver mine, located in what is now Banks county. That is she so accurately described the location that (Japt. A. felt confident it was in the neighborhood of Hollingsworth. After his return to Georgia he determined to hunt for this won derful mine—which he did, from time to time,as opportunity offered, but without sui cess, until recently his long search was rewarded by what lie supposed to fie the iden’i cal spot described. “He commenced an excavation, where it seemed, from the large amount of broken quartz, that mining had been carried on before. After removing the small, loose rocks to the depth of about two feel, lie uncovered a human skele ton, which he believed to be that of an Indian, from the beads and oilier trinkets lonnd buried with it. “The quartz, or whatever it is. appears to be rich in some mineral, which is believed to be silver. The supply is said to be inexhaustible and beyond computation there being exposed to view millions ol tons! If it is such it is the richest and most extensive silver mine in the World, The great Nevada “bo nanza” is a mere minnow in com parirton with this whale! “We brought away a sample of the ore, which we placed in the hands of a scientific gentleman for. examination. HeJins promised to report in a day or two. We await his opinion wiih much anxiety. In the meanwhile, we beg our readers to keep cool and not get excited. “We heard m Homer that the State Geologist had pronounced the ore superior to any found in Nevada, but Mr. Alexander assured ns that lie had not had any report from him.” It is cla med that an immensely rich copper bonanza has been struck in Utah, The new mines are in Bingham canon. The discoveries consist of a true vein of copper ten feet wide, with well defined foot and hanging walls. Native copper is discernible all through the immense vein. Four companies are at work on ;t, one ot which is shipping ores that are worth seventy live dollars a ton. The ore is easily worked, and three men can daily lake or.l an average of ten tons. The vein far surpasses any discovery in the lake Superior copper mines, and it is safe to say, lltst “there’s millions in it.” The Reedier Tilton case still hangs before the courts, and the prospect now is that it may contiu - ue all summer.
