Ed: lor 'finite:
We are still blessed with a copio
supply of hot water which *cicnli
claim to have been flowing undisturb
ed for twenty-five hundred yeai h oi
more. However a* tli*:re is a differ*
cncc of opinion as lo the exact tlul’i of
this as well as the consctjtienccs that
produce this great heat we will have
leave this question to some out; of
the future “cncration to solve.
Hot .Springs mountain on first
has every appearance of haviug been
visited at some time by a volcanic
eruption as the rocks in some places
seem to he cemented together by some
melted maker which seems to be at
first very strong evidences of lava
having poured down the sides at some
remote period. This is the first decis
ion 01 almost every one on arriving
here but upon closer examination we
arc convinced that this entire moun
tain on the Western slope is built up
of tuffa rock a deposit formed from
hot water. This honey comb or tuffa
rock is built up toa considerable heigh
in some places along the East side of
Ilot Springs creek, tlieir spiral or
craggy spurs extending several feet in
tlio air. In other places the rock
hangs over the creek forming a com
plctc shelter from rain, sunshine, &c.
It is not admired for its shelter alone
but for Us many mineinl J/ot .Springs
which wc find percolating through this
ledge of rock where wc often sit and
sip tins highly prized stimulant.
The Western slope of the mountain
presents rather a picturesque appear
ance, the principal growth is oak,
hickory,cedar, buckthorn, hlackwaluul,
sycamore, elm, &c.,&., and is rath
er imposing in appearance.
It is on this slope that the celebra
ted and much talked of free pooh* aresit
uated which arc known and called mud
hole or Keumatism hath. Here many
daily bathe for their Rheumatics aud
other diseases. '1 he others arc known
as corn hole where may he seen at all
Siours of the day some one with their
feet in wl;jc)i is a sure pop lor a corny
toe. The other the </hi *;•*)« about
which so much has been said aud
written, is where the poorer class ot
invalids resort for baths and around
which they have squatted, some npder
a few board*, others have tents, quits,
blankets, &c., stretched over them to
screen them from the rays of the sum
mer sun nn.l heating showers, while a
few, have neat little cottages built up
promiscuously around on the rocks
under the shade treea.
It presents the nppcaraucc of u sol
diers camp more than anything I can
compare it to. The city derives its
uamc from the pool and is known a*
Hal City, where hundreds of the poor
er class (with a lew of the upper teu)
may he daily seen in au4 around l|>ia
hath. Tho lame, the halt, the blind,
the white, the black aud the brown,
aro congregated together ou this hill
side from all parts of the United States
and Europe, many of whom no doubt
had to beg their way here aud tor
day trustiug to providence for their
daily bread aud to hot water for relief.
Sotne of these poor fellows arc fearful
looking and almost beggar descrip
tion; not only objects of pity hut real
ly of charity, and 1 learn that some of
the uohlc hearted ladies (mostly
tors),have formed themselves into a re
lief society aud daily administer to
these poor fellows. But there being
so many ot this class hero many of
them must suffer for want of proper
food and medicines. Bui strange to
say some of this class who hare to beg
their way here arc relieved as if by
magic; cured almost miraculously after
taking a few baths without the aid of
medicine which the Doctors claim to
be very essential to assist the waters
in throwing off diseases.
This pool or Ral hole is dug out in
the rock and is 10 or 12 feet square
and 18 or 20 iuches deep, fed by two
small springs which rise only a few
feet oft*, one ot which is hot, the other
only moderately warm, forming mean
teraperatue of 93 to 100 deg. Over
this has hccu constructed in the last
three years a rude board shelter to se
cure bathers from outside view. The
com hole is smaller and is partly fill
ed with leaves and mud into which
wc atick our corny toes and gouty feet.
The waters of this hole which boiis up
from its bottom is considered almost
infallible for corn's. The mud hole
or rheumatism bath is I presume 10
12 feet square and 2 feet deep. The
water always looks muddy and has a
sulphur smell about it. These pools
arc resorted to by hundred* from a
matter of necessity as they arc not
able to pay the pi ices demanded at
the bath houses, while others who
have plenty of money bathe in them
from choice as the impression gets
abroad that the waters arc purer iu
these pools where it rises than it is
down at the hath houses where it has
to be conducted in pipes from 30 to
•J00 yards to tanks where it is allowed
to cool off and the gases escape more
or less. These jkkiIs are baldly ever
empty, most always have one bathing
llieir feet, hands or arms w hile others
immerse the whole bod}.
There is some staitlitig reports (the
truth of which 1 cannot vouch forgo
ing the touiids in regard to the povr-
ertul palliative nud alleviating it.flu-
ence oi l he waters of these pools. Iu
one instance, it is said a poor rheu
matic almost helpless arrived here
aud was packed up on the hill side to
one of these pools near nightfall and
was put in the jmjoI. Night coining
on lie was left in the pool and the
nothing effects ol the water brought
on sleep and he was allowed lo re
main hero several hours. When he
awoke he was so much relieved that
he was able to get out of the bath and
dress himself without any assistance,
something he had not done for years.
Another instance Is reported ol
parly who feeling chilled at night
went down to the pool for a bath
which he was sure would warm him
up, after getting warm he fell asleep
and slept soundly there nearly
niglu and when he awoke he fell
much relieved that he was able 10
lo work the next day.
A great many of the occupants
Dal City arc almost destitute of the
daily ueccssaries of life aud have to re
sort to various means for a living.—
Some of them make a business of hunt
ing and enpturing tarantulas and centi
pedes which arc preserved in alcohol
and sold to visitors to take home with
them. Prices raugc accorditi;
size of insects, from 73c lo 82 each,
and strange to sav the supply is ofteu
unequal to the demand. These in
sects arc found among the rocks and
old logs on the inouutains and some
of them grow lo v tremendous size
and ure said lo he very poisonous.—
They arc a great terror lo some visi
tors who arc constantly in dread of
coming in contact with these veno
mous insects.
The chief aluactiou of Hot Springs
mountain,outside of the pools aud Ual
City is the observatory placed ou the
highest peak 40or 30 feet high. It
gives one a commanding view ol the
town below aud country around.—
There seems to be considerable anx
iety and uneasiness among claimants
aud squatters on the reservation just
tiow, os many think tlieir homes
he wrested lrom them or taxed very
heavy by the goverumeut receiver
who is expected to arrive every day
to look after the interest of the gener
al government. A Mr. Morgan of
Massachusetts, is tho appointee aud
you know it is perfectly natural for
Southern aud Western men to liv
constant dread when they know tlieir
property is subject to the control of
one hailing lrom Massachusetts.—
However wc hope that everything
Will go on smoothly aud that the re

Republican .-National fcHat
citizens iu the free enjoyment of all
their rights, are duti(-s to which the
Republican party stands sacredly
pledged. The power to proride for
the enforcement of the priciples em
bodied in the recent constitutional
amendments is iu the Congress of the
United states, aud we declare it to be
the solemn obligation of the Legisla-
tiveamlExecativc Departments of the
Government to put into immediate
and vigorous use all their constitu
tional powers for removing any just
causes of discontent on the part of
nnv class, and for securing to every
American citizen complete liberty
and exact equality in the exercise of
all civil, political and private rights.
To this end we imperatively demand
a Congress and a Chief Executive
whose courage and fidelity to these
duties shall not falter until these re
sults are placed beyond dispute or
recall.
4. In the first act of Congress sigu-
<*d by the President, the National
Government assumed to remove
any doubts of its purpose to dis
charge its just obligation to public
c reditors, and solemnity pledged its
faith to make provision, at the ear
liest practicable moment, for the
redemption of Union States notes
in coin. Commercial prosperity,
morals and the national credit de
mand that this promise be fulfilled
by a continuous and steady progress
to specie payment.
Under the Constitution the
•sklent is to make nominations for
office, tlio Senate is to ad rise
and consent to the appointments
id the House of Representa
tives is to accuse and prose
cute faithless officers. The best
interests of the public serv
demand that these distinctions be
respected, and that Senators and
Representatives, who may be judges
and accusers, should not dictate ap-
poiutiucnts to office. Tho invariable
rule for appointments should have
reference to tho honesty, fidelity
and capacity of the appointees, pre
ferring friends of tho party iu pow
er in places where harmony and vigor
of administration require its policy
be represented, but permitting all
othei*s to be filled by persons selec
ted with sole reference to the eficicn-
ey of the public service and tlic right
of all citizens to share in the honor
of rondoring faithful service to their
ountry.
(». Wc rejoice in the quickened
conscience of the i>eople concerning
political affairs, and will hold all
public officers to a rigid res-
xmsibility, and engage the prosecu-
ion and the punishment of all who
luttruy official trusts shall be speedy,
thorough and unsparing.
The public school system of the
several States is the bulwark of
tlio American Republic, and with a
view to its security and permanence,
we recommend an amendment to
the Constitution of the United
States, forbidding the application of
any public funds or property for
the benefit of any schools or institu
tions under sectarian control
8. The revenue necessary for cur
rent expenditures and the obliga
tion of tbc public debt must be larg-
ly derived from duties ou importa
tion, which, so far as possible,
should be adjusted to promote the
interest of American labor aud the
prosperity of the whole country.
9. We reaffirm our opposition to
further grants of the public lands to
corporations qr monopolies, apd dp-
maud that the national domain be
devoted to five homes for the peo
!>1-
10. It. ls the imperative duty of
the Government so to modify exis
ting treaties with European Govern
ments, that the same protection
shall Ik; afforded to the adopted
American citizen that is given to
the native torn, and that all neccs
sary laws should be passed to pro
tect immigrants in tlio absence of
power in the GlaUy foj’ tltTrt pur
pose.
11. It is the iiuincdiuic duty of
Congress to fully investigate the ef
fect of the immigration and impor
tation of Mongolians upon the mor
als and material interests of the
country.
12. The Republican party recog
nize with approval the substantial
advance recently made toward the
establishment of equal rights for
women, by tho many important
amendments effected l»y Republi
can legislatures in the laws which
concern the personal and property
for
When, in the economy of Prov
idence this land was purged of
human slavery, and when the
stfppgth of the government of the
people % the people ^ of the
people was to to demonstrated, the
Republican party came iu power.—
Its deeds have passed into history,
and we look back to them with pride,
lifted by tlieir memories and high
alms for file gOwd p{ PUT ppipitry and
mankind, and looking to the future
with courage, hope and purpose, we,
the representatives of the party, iu
national convention assembled make
flip following declaration of princi
ples;
1. The United States of America
is a nation not n league. Rv the
combined work of the national and
State governments, under their res
pective constitutions, the rights of
every citizen are secured at home
and protected abroad.
2. Thn Republican party has pre
served these governments to tto
hundredth aniversary of the nation’s
birth, and they are now the embod
iments of the great truths spoken at
the cradle—“tnat all men are crea
ted equal; that they are endow ed by
their creator with certain inaliena
ble rights, among which are life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness;
that for the attainment of these ends
governments have been instituted
among men, deriving their just pow
ers from the consent of the govern
ed.” Until these truths are cheer
fully obeyed, or, if need to, are vig
orously enforced, the work of the
Republican party is unfinished.
3. The permanent pacification of 4
the Southern section of the Union, I strife and imperil the national ton-
and the complete protection of its I or human right®.
relations of wives, mothers and
ows, and by the appointments of
wom«n tq cto sujx.*iiui^udi:n..e oi
education, charities bud other pub
lic trusts. The honest demands of
this class of citizens for additional
rights and previlegcs nud immuni
ties should lx; treatened with res-
pwtfuj pQUijdpratj.qu
13. The Constitution confers up
on Congress sovereign power over
the Territories of the United States
for their government In the exercise
of this power* it is the right and du
ty of Congress to prohibit' and ex
tirpate in the Territories that relic
of barbarism, polygamy and we de
mand such legislation os shall secure
this end and the supremacy of
American institutions in all the Ter
ritories.
14. The pledges wliichtbe nation has
given to our soldiers and sailors
must to fulfilled. The grateful
people will always bold those who
periled their lives for their country’s
►reservation in kindest rcruem-
•rancc.
15. We sincerely deprecate all
sectional feelings and tendencies.—
We therefore note with deep solici
tude that the Democratic party
counts as its chief hope of success
ou the electoral rote of the united
South, secured through the efforts
of those who were recently arrayed
against the nation; we invoke the
earnest attention of the country to
the grave, truth that a success thus
achieved would re-open sectional
10. We charge the Democratic
>arty as being the same in chnrgc-
;er and spirit as when it sympathiz
ed with treason; with making its
control of the House of Kcpreteuta-
tives the triumph and the opportu
nity of tho nation’s recent foes; with
reasserting and applauding in the
national capital the sentiments of
unrepented rebellion; with sending
Union soldiers to the rear and pro
moting Confederate soldiers to the
front: with deliberately proposing
to repudiate tho plighted faith of the
government; with being equally
false and imbecile upon the over
shadowing financial question; with
thwarting the ends of justice by its
partisan mismanagement and ob
struction of investigation; with prov
ing itself, through the period of its
ascendency in the lower House of
Congress, utterly incompetent to
administer the government We
warn the country against trusting a
party thus unworthy, recreant and
incapable.
17. Tbc national administration
merits commendation for its honor
able work in the management of osir
domestic and foreign affairs and
President Grant deserves the con
tinued aud hearty gratitude of the
American people for his patriotism
and immense service iu war and in
peace.
Ilaycsy.
The tollowing arc among the chief
recommendations of tlio radical noin-
cc for President:
Hayes Nominated rv Grant.—
A Washington special to the Ualti-
morc GiuHtc says it has transpired
that the Cincinnati Convention was
managed entirely iu the iutcrcst of
the nomination of R. B. Ilaycs with
the aid of President Grant and of all
the administration supporters, the ob
ject being to perpetuate his adminis
tration both by the character of the
selected lor the Cabinet and by
the character of the political conse-
lors of tho Republican President iu
the eveut, of course, of Hayes and
Wheeler's election.
The New York Herald says: ‘’The
defeat of Blaine at Ciucinnati makes
him Secretary of State under Hayes,
just aa the defeat of Tildeu at *SL
Louis would make hint the Secretary
of State under the Democrat who
beats him if the Democrats w in.” If
the Herald is correct in its surmise as
to Blaice, then the Rej*ublicau claim
that the nomination oi Hayes as a
reform new departure i3 acknowledg
ed the sham everybody knows it to be.
Hayes and Wheeler.—A Wash-
gton dispatch says: The political
records of Hayes and Wheeler in Con
gress arc rapidly being investigated
by Democratic members of the 7/ousc.
Hayes was nuiforml.v in favor of eve
ry land grant and every subsidy;
brought before the House during his
membership, aud Mr. IPheeler, dur
ing his couuecliou with the Pacific
Railroad Committee, was a prince
among the Credit Afobilicr support
ers, aud advocated every measure of
any beuefiL lo the land grabbers.—
Both nominees having accented the
houor on a platform, one of the
cipal planks of which denouuc^s such
thieving measures as //ayes and
Wheeler supported, it is inter!
none knew better than they aud their
party how deeply the people of the
country have been wronged by the
indiscriminate gift of public lands ta
railroad monopolies.
New York Sun: If Ilaycs could be
elected President, he would be little
else than the automation of the lead •
ers w ho made the combination at Cin
cinnati. They would own him abso
lutely, make his Cabinet, shape his
policy, direct his nominations, and
control tho patronage exactly as they
now do under Graut. There would
he a change of names and nothing
more. One monosyllable substitu
ted lor another as President. That is
all.
Loll to his own feeble will and slug
gish nature, Mr. Hajcs would have
the desire to do right, to discounte
nance opeu corruption, and to carry
on tho Government decently. But he
has neither the capacity, nor the will,
nor the power of resistance necessary
to meet the demands of the present
ti’,Ua. Morton, Cameron, and Conk-
ling would take the rcin3 in their own
bauds, and drive tho machine iu their
own way, without the least regard to
tho wishes of the n^aii whom they
made what he >».
Reform under such ciicumsiancas
would be as impossible as it now i-.—
Hayes would be little mere than a
minor sovereign in the bauds of a re
gency—a President m name, but not
in substance. For a time he would
sceni to bo externally aii improve
ment on Grant; but with his baud-,
tied by tho machinery of party, and
no sufficient moral force to break the
bonds, he would soon become the tool
of his superiors and the instrument
for executiug their behests.
The Vice-President, under ti;o (Jon;
sliiutioa, is a mere figure head oi
waiter on Providence. At the White
House he is habitually re g a ml, as the
Prince of Wales always has been by
the ruling King or Queen, as a person
whose daily duty is to pray fot a va-
canev on the throne. !n tfiu iscuate
1»U vocation’ is to deeido points of
order ami to preserve decorum. Mr.
Wheeler, therefore, counts for nothing,
an l will not add a vole to the ticket.
There is n*> Vice-President now, "^d
thereafter act with their party. The
Whigs, uasu-vectiog his party fidelity,
were influenced to nominate Mr.
Wheeler also. Whereupon he went
back on his Democratic friends and
Iris pledge, aud eveu denied the
promise that was hardly cold on Uis
lips. This denial, however, was met
and sufficiently contradicted by the
oflidavits of several gentlemen who
had been privy to the violated con
tract.
As another evidence of Mr. Wheel
's indexible integrity. I am told
that when a member of the Assemhlv*
he was employed by Mr. Frederick;
Ames, of Essex county, to purchase 1
on nccount of said Ames a piece of
State land, located near the State
prison, at Daunemora. On looking
into the matter, Mr. Wheeler decided
that there was mouev in the specula
tion. acd that lie could find more
profit in buying the land as principal
than as agent. He counseled with
one Douglas, a clerk in his law office
at Malone, aud the twain became
possessed of the laud, which was pur
chased in Douglas' name.
When Mr. Ames found, upon appli
cation at the land office, that the
plum had been picked by a certain
Douglas, lie went to the //on. Mr.
Wheeler to inquire why and where
fore. Mr. Wheeler insisted that it!
was all a mystery to him, aud that;
he didn't know much about Douglas, I
but understood that lit was half law
yer, half horse jockey, and lived in!
Chatcaugay.
. The true inwarducss of the trausac- I
liou came out afterward in court dur
ing the trial of a suit brought ny this r
same Douglas against the //on. Wil- W
liam A. Wheeler, his partner iu the j L
land speculation, to compel him to ,
divide the profits. Mr. Ames appear-, rv
ed as a witness, and his testimony I II
pul Mr. Wheeler in such a light that
the latter hastened to compromise! 7A
the suit by paying Douglas his share,»
and the costs.
Of course, nobody can tell how far
Mr. Wheeler's reputation for integrity
will be supported by the investigation
of^ Xortheau Pacific affairs. Mr.
Wheeler was chairman ot the house
committee on this railroad, and if he,
like Blaine and Collax, should have
to walk the plauk, it will at least be a
crumb of comfort to his friends to
kuow that the Hon. Cliairmau lacks
not of this world's riches.

BOSTON, GEORGIA,
A gentleman residing on Aber
deen street was, until Friday last,
inclined to favor female suffrage.—
His wife lmd prudently delayed mo
ving till after the 1st so as to take
advantage of tho fall of house-rents.
The house to which they moved had
a tremendously steep flight of
stairs, and an oil-clothed hall. The
wife had the stairs smibtod down,
nud left the soap on the step. Her
husbaud was up stairs, with a bas
ket full of clothes-pius iu one hand
and a clock under the other arm,
when his wife, who was down stairs,
saw a mouse, and shaking her skirts
madly, bounded up on the table
and let oft* a series of shrill shrieks
beginning on high ZZZ above the
clef. Her husband, thinking the
house was ou firo at the very least,
started to run to her rescue, and,
stepping ou the piece of soap that
she had so thoughtfully left on the
stairs, sat down vehemently at the
top of the flight, and slid do\yp with
the speed of thought. Fire flew
from his false tooth as he hit tho
edge of each step. Volleys of
clothespins were discharged into
the air and fell rattling and re
bounding on the oil-cloth, and the
clock shed its inwards over the uni,
e. The injured husband had
little time for yeffectiun when ho
iw-hed the glare oil-cloth of the
hall and shot hovom it with scarcely
diminished velocity, literally ma- j Whi
king the oil-cloth and the seat of* an
his pantaloons smoke with friction, i
and finally bringing up against tho j
door with a violence that threatened I •'■>-•■
to burst the side out of the house. I
The fearful concussion startled his
wife, who turned a back-summer
sault from the table into a tub of
soap-suds, in which she was so
tightly wedged that she lund hi!
