f he lame #0nm*. K8TABU8IIKD IN 184=3. THE COURIER him a large and steady- circu lation In Cherokee Georgia, and Is tho best ad vertising medium In thlB section. M. DWIIV E l,L, Proprietor. Thursday Morning, Oct. 16,1879. Our choice for Governor: The nom inee of the Democratic State convention. Treasurer Renfroe and his securi ties will be sued for about" 622,000, in terest on public funds. Ex-Attorney General Akerman, of Georgia, would like to go to Congress, ssys the New York Herald. If Hayes wishes to punish the In dians on the plains severely, let him send Sherman and Schurz out to stump the country. A Georgia politician introduced Hayes somewhere as a second Washing ton. If Grant is elected to a third term will he call Grant a third Washington ? We are often thoughtless, and un necessarily afflict our readers, but we have never gone so far as to publish any portion of the Brown-Garrard let ters. Senator Hill, it is said, has been up in New York trying to heal the breach in the Democratic party. His object was a good one, and we hope he did not fail altogether; but as a healer of breaches in Georgia, Benjamin has not proved a success. The Democrats of Ohio made a good fight. Tney had to contend against the power, the influence and the money of the general government. Hayes and Sherman are both Obians and control its purse strings and patronage, and they left no stone unturned to beat Ew ing and defeat Democracy. A New York letter says: Mr. John Kelly is said to be weakening as a can didate for the Governorship in opposi tion to Lucius Robinson. Ex-Gov. Sey mour’s recent letter in favor of “regular nominations” is telling severely against the Tammany chieftain, and those who know him best say it would not be sur prising if, yielding to the counsels of his moro cautious friends, who do not wish to be considered outside of tho party, he should withdraw his name from the canvass in the course of a few days. The trouble with Kelly in an emergency of this kind is that he has no patronage werth speaking of, and he ought to know that as human nature is at present constituted it is impossible to run any kind of faction in New York without a plentiful supply of loaves and fishes. He has a few offices in the Comptroller's office, but beyond that absolutely nothing, and, as Lear says, “nothing can come out of nothing.” The Macon Tolegraph, commenting on Gen. Gordon’s Centennial oration, which it publishes in full in its Sun day’s issue, says, with truth: ,l It will richly repay the most careful perusal, and should be preserved and carefully filed away as a fitting memento of the trying days of the first War of Inde pendence and the glorious deeds of a gallant though humble patriot, who died for the liberty which is now our heritage. The Senator was never hap pier, and his words rang out like clarion notes, holding spoil-bound the vast multitude who had assembled to hear him. Truly, Georgia has causa to be proud of her noble warrior statesman. It is a production of no ephemeral character, and will go down upon the pages of history as the most salient event of the ever-memorable Jasper Centennial.” A Georgia Senator, favor of the bill to change the law so that it should not be lawful to contract for a higher rate of interest than eight per cent., said he favored a low rate of interest because he had lost more when he loaned money at five per cent, a month than ever before or since. Five per cent, a month—sixty per cent, per annum! Is it possible that there is one drop of the re ilk of human kind ness in the composition of a man that would lend money to a neighbor at sixty per cent, a year? If there ever was a drop it would be soured by such a thun dering high rate of interest. THE OHIO ELECTION. The Democrats of Ohio have failed to eleot their candidates on the State ticket, and perhaps have lost the legisla ture. While we had hoped for a differ ent result, it was not considered a cer tainly that Gen. Ewing would succeed. Ohio is set down as a Republican State when the chances are being forecast as to a Presidential race. It has voted for many years for the Republican nominee for President, but has twice in the last few years elected Democrats to the of fice of Governor. Ohio voting now for Foster for Governor does not make it any more certain to go for the Repub lican nominee next year for President. On the contrary, as the State changes so often, it rather leads us to hope that our time is next. TIIE JASPER CENTENNIAL AND GEN. GORDON’S ORATION. Savannah was thronged with visitors on the 9th instant, and the city was alive with the excitement of an honorable . purpose—that of laying the corner-stone of a monument to the memory of Ser geant Jasper, who fell battling for the rights of American freemen at the siege of Savannah on the 9th of October, 1779. Gen. John B. Gordon had been in vited to deliver an oration on the occa sion, and he complied with the request, addressing the gathered thousands who were present to testify their admiration of the character of a man whose courage was equal to the direBt emergency and whoso love of freedom was as strong as his heart was brave. Savannah has done a noble work in laying the foun dation of a monument to the Irish sol dier, and the work should know no halting. Gen. Gordon’s address was one worthy of the purpose that evoked it. It is full of patriotism of the right ring, aud is calculated to impress the reader as the words of one who felt the dignity of the theme, and was impressed with the importance of the occasion. The United States Supreme Court re assembled Monday in Washington, and the arguments in several important cases will be heard. AmoDg these are the petition for a mandamus in behalf of Virginia against United States Dis trict Judge Rives, who removed certain criminal cases from the State to the Fed eral court, because there were no negroes on the juries in the State court in which the cases were tried. The petition for a habeas corpus in the case of Hon. J. D, Cole, a Virginia Judge, indicted in the United States District Court for refusing to put colored men on the jury, and the case or Strander vs. the State of West Virginiu, in which Strander, a colored man, was convicted of the crime of murder before a jury in a West Virginia court in which there were no negroes, the laws of that State forbidding negroes to serve on juries. These cases will in volve the constitutionality of the civil rights laws. A New York letter, alluding to the presence of the Gate City Guards of At lanta in that city, says: “The feeling everywhere, outside of the narrow cir cle of the sour and souring politicians, is that the more reunions we have of this kind the better. Ab an offset to the visit of these Georgia troops to the North, a member of the Seventh Regi ment informs your correspondent that the latter has already received and ac cepted an invitation to go down to Sa vannah, in the course of the winter, and from Savannah up to Atlanta, at both of which they are promised a reception not only by the military but by the cit izens at large.” Missouri Republican : A Macon (Ga.) correspondent of the New York Times says notwithstanding the prejudices of Aleck Stephens against the statesman of Gramercy park, notwithstanding the heavy profanity of Bob Toombs in re gard to New York’s ex-governor, not withstanding the well-known friendship of Gov. Colquitt for Senator Bayard, “it requires no prophet to foretell that the Georgia delegation will carry its strength for Tilden.” The shrewdest politicians of the state, including Hill and Gordon are all known to favor a personal as well as national rebuke of the fraud of 1876. General Roberts telegraphs that on the night of Wednesday the Afghans confronting Geleral Baker fled, abandon ing twelve guns. The British cavalry pursued, but only small bands of the fugitives were captured. General Roberts intended to make a public entry into Cabul on the 11th or 12th inst. Sylvester M. Hicky, business agent of Mary Anderson, was shot in the head at the Burnett House, Cincinnati, Sun day, by a girl named Florence McDon ald, of Syracuse, wbo was passiouately in lore with him, and whom he de sertod. She then killed herself, tho volunteer military of this State. Passed. The committee of couference submit ted a report recommending that the House recede from its diagreement ot the substitute of the Senate for the bill to provide for the revision of the jury box. The report was adopted. A message from the Governor an nounced that he had approved the act to provide for the sale or lease of the Macon and Brunswick railroad. For the prevention of cruelty to ani mals and to repeal all laws existing on the said subject. Passed. What are the Profits? This is the absorbing point that is of chief interest in every business transac tion. By the combination system of operating in stocks, Messrs. Lawrence & Co., bankers, N. Y., unite the orders of thousands of patrons, in Various sums, into one immense amount, and perate them os a mighty whole, thus Dtaining all the advantages of the larg est capitalists and best skill. Profits are distributed pro rata among share holders every month. In this way large gains are secured in Bhort periods, and capital from $10 or $15 to $50,000 can be used with equal proportionate success. $20 will make $100 in 30 days, $150 will pay $1,500 profit or 10 per cent on the stock, and so on, according to the market. A citizen of Troy made $315.75 on an investment of $50. Many customers are doing better. The new circular has two unerring rules for suc cess, and full details so that any one can operate profitably.

She is an English brunette, and takes orders with the air of a queen. She is always arrayed in one of Worth’s latest inspirations, and an admirer says that if she were clad in a tow bag, with a hempen cord round her waiBt, she would impart to the garb an air of subtle elegance which would render it attractive. From the Paoli (Ind.) News: No law fully elected President of the United States ever put himself .on record as speaking slanderously of his competitor for that office. But the man who fills the position to which Mr. Tilden was elected gossips to reporters about the private character of the gentleman whose stolen place he holds. It is humiliating spectaole for the American people to witness suoh degradation of the prepidental office. It is of a piece with Mr. Hayes sending $500 out of the White House to buy silence of a title thief. . Conkling and Beecher waved the bloody shirt together at a Cornell-Tam many Republican meeting in Brooklyn on Wednesday evening. The bond of sympathy between the two men who brouget most shame to.Church and State in our country very naturally bings them both within the reach of the disgraceful political compact between the worst ele ments of all parties. Conkling and Beecher, Cornell and Kelly ! There’s a political quartette for the Empire State ! Philadelphia Times. The hostile Utes are determined that the United States troops shall not reaoh the agency, and have fortified them selves so strongly in a commanding po sition that they cannot be dislodged without an additional force. Reinforce ments have been sent against them, and also fresh horses have been sent to re mount the dismounted members of Payne’s command. The Paris Globe says that three of the Kings of Europe are about to have on interview; but as they don’t intend to declare war against any country or to frighten anybody, their Majesties’ pro ject is almost unnoticed by the Europe an press. The King of Sweden and the King of Greece are to visit the King of Denmark, who invited them to enjoy a period of sporting. Legislative Summary. Monday, Ootober 13.
