It must have been ft source of intense
gratification to Mr. 8 ephens to receive
t!' following characteristic telegram
from iris life-long friend, Oen. Toombs.
It wms sent from Augusta, (!., u3 the
Hth instant, amt in mt follow* :
•‘Hon. A. H. Stephens; In your raise
for the Eighth District of fleotgin I am
with you to the la.,t extremity.

From the i'hrmtieU and CoruttituUon
offer of Friday last we clip the follow
ing:
A Chr.nicle reporter met General
Hobart Toombs in the vestibule of the
Central Hotel yesterday afternoon, and
asked him what he thought hlmiul Sir.
Stephens’ present position ?
Genet ai Ton in lea: “I am going to vote
ter him whother he runs as an indepen
dent or t-ot. 1 think his vote wee wrong
on the Hale rccolnflon, hut a mere dif
ference of opinion on a quoMtioo of that
wort isn't going to make we voto against
him.”
"Why do yon think hiu voto wan
wrong ?”
“Because the Hale resolution ought to
linve eonit' in as a separate resolution and
not have been injected into the other to
confuse the whole thing. Cut. tin m in
vestigate. I don’t mind their coming
iuto the Eighth District if they want to
and investigate that."
“Wire you in favor of Ilia Butter in

“Why, ytui Investigate, of course. I
believe in investigation. If the other
side want invest) ration, too, let them in
westiga'o any Htate they please. Aa for
my part, I have no interests in national
IHililiea.”

"Of course ho will he. I have known
him since boyhood, uml I know him to

Oh our first pago wo print a letter to
Hon. H. lb (Isaev, Oluiirmau of the
Democratic Execute Committee of this
Cougreaaioiiul District, from Mr. Hte
phons, :o winch our grout lteprcxontative
explains tlm recent telegram iu wliioh lie
announced that ho would "stand" for
reelection to Congress, mid also his poi
tion in refetwuco to tiio nominating Coil
veutiou which in (tailed to meet in
Thomson in August.
The telegram whieli preceded this
letter created oousidenddo excitement
throughout tho Mtutc, ami particularly
iu thia District, an excitement wliioh th
letter itacit has failed to abate. The
general impression on tho pulilio mind
derived from both documents is that Mr.
Stephens will gratefully nooopt tho nom
ination of the Thomson convention if it
is conferred upon him, hot, it lie in not
nominated, he will go before tlm people
jui an indepeuduut candidate un i that lie
is iu defiance of the Diiiiocvalio acini na
tion and all party organization,
Tills, wo think, is plaoiug toe strong a
•construction upon lis lunguage, lfis
present expressed independence of a nom
ination is in perfect accord with tho
history of his entire political career. He
does not object to convention* and nom
ination under certain eircunmtuuaeu, hut
lie lias uever sought a nomination from
any body of men, and lie deals res his
intention never to do so. It is true tlmt
nominations have been conferred upon
him, hut alruys without iris solicitation.
When Mr. Stephens placed himself in
opposition to tlie Hotter lesolntiouii und
a-sin afterwards announced his determi
nation to "stand" for reeleetiou, the
plena of the .State, with few exceptions,
denounced both his positions, Xu this
w do not believe that the press refl clod
t .0 sentiments of the people, but lather
of the politicians, and Mr. Stephens
attached more import in™ to this edito
rial thunder than it really deserved. He
oatue to the conclusion tlmt, after a life
time devoted to advocating and uphold
ing the great principles of constitutional
Democracy he was to lie repudiated by
the nominating convention, and “road
0.1 of the party," simply because he
differed in opinion with Ins party oil the
Potter invcstigstioiis, and iwome-o lie
had announced Ids candidacy for recite*
tiou in the same minuter in which he
had always done heretofore. To this
injustice he determined not to submit,
but in tins, as on many other past oeca
sutiu, he ivsolved to “tote his own skil
let,"
Ho does n< t declare himself an inde
pendent candidate iu o many words,
but says :
"Xu ercut, theruforo, tlmt convention
ahull repudiate cue os lUI unlit repiosou
tative ol Democratic principles uud shall
attempt to rule usooutol tho Democratic
party because of that telegram, or any
thing else 0- unacted wit", my recent
pill iic acts or aentimwit*, then 1 nay to
you and them, plainly and distluetly,
that I aliall regard their edict us but a
brutum fuhtten issued by uu irreapousi
lile i act ion ol trick-tors, and the question
whether lor they are round iu the faith
of the fathers shall 1 left tithe true
Ikeiaocnicy of tits District to be et lad
at the polls."
These are the ulterntiv,-s upon which
Mr. Stephens is to defy the nominating
ouuvsutiou—alternative* which uo <lO
not b lieve v ill occur. Looking back
over his brilliant political career -his
life-time of unflinching devotion to the
g*eat principles of republican govern
ment—we do not believe tlmt any oon
v main of intelligent Democrats, mile s
Kt<nk'<l and fixed fur the jmrpuMS, ooitld
be guilty of the unjust, and at tiie same
time, insane and suicidal pul icy of repu
diating him and reading him out ol
the party, for the shallow, trivial reasons
urged by ills political enemies. There
fore, we cannot see why Mr, Stephens
may not he the. nominee < f tlm Thomson
oonveutiou, aud receive tho hearty sup
port of every true Democrat iu the D.s
trict.

Prior to the lust few week* the im
pression in Cilia section of tho District
whs general that Judge Gil/KOn would,
miller no eireuraatanees, antagonize Mr.
i Stephen* for Congress. Therefore, when
it was authoritatively unnomioeo that he
i would Iki t Candidate for the uon.inaliou,
jit created much comment among the
! friends of both gentlemen, some going
ho far as to censure Judge Gibson for
allowing Ida name to Ist used at all in
connection with the office. The follow
ing letter to the editor of this paper ex
plains Judge Gibson's petition in refer
en e to Mr. H eplu im anil the nomina
tion, The neutimentft are frank, candid
and honorable, and sin w that ho propo
nes to confine himself atridity to tlie

Mu. J. E Whit a,
Grab Biu lam truly obliged to you
for your kind notion in the Jourkai, ol j
Inst week, in reference to my candidacy \
for Congress at the next election, allow j
me to hay Unit at the timo 1 concluded j
| to liceoino a candidate ier tho uoiniiiA- !
i tioli it was auid that Mr. Stephen* would '
not be. I shall enter into no neramhlt j
! for the nomination, yet will reserve the
right to retro from the contest before
| tiio convention, if Mr. Stephens in a can-
I did ito before it.
1 have never fully agreed with Mr.
Stephen* at any time, yet 1 believe and !
know him to ho u great and fjood mau, i
and I have invariably voted for him
when ho was tho nomlueo of the Dem
ocratic party. If lie choose* now to i
"stand" for re-election, I sliall most cer
tainly insist upon the usages of the par
ly. I will support tho nominee of tho
convention, whoever ho may ho, and
trust ho muy not ho the means of de
stroying Democratic unity ami solidity.
A unanimous Houso cannot afford to fol
low the lend of Hale, Garfield it Cos.
I am truly your friend
, Wm, GiUSON.
In a letter written since the pubticn
tion of Mi. Stephen* letter to Hon. H.
It. Casey, .liidgti Gihaoil says:
* ' ‘Permit me to add, if Mr, Htoplieus
will run, ivMher nominated or not , it
is np|Hisitioi), and of a kind 1 did not
bargain for; and, if tho Democracy of
tho District are determined to assert
their manhood, I would greatly prefer
Hint they would select ns their candidate
an abler mail, ami ripe of more mean*
than i.p(H*itsss. I tiust, however, that
cooler hood* and hotter hearts may eultn
the present turbulent waters."
Wo think these loiters explain very
clearly the position of Judge Gibson in
the present political crisis.

time, atid shows how eminently fit and
proper it is Hint noon should apeak in
their self-defence, to maintain their own

There was a timo when intelligence
feigned to such a degree that this was
comp irutivnly unnecessary, whon a life
long devotion to works of high eat merit
spoke a just tribute to every individual,
and those were suflloiout to guarantee
their honors, rights and claims amongst
tho great of head ana heart,, against
those defaming uml destructive individ

others. The clamoring desires of per

selfishness, have churaoterixad tho actions
of tho lute officials, to whom was en
trusted tho management of the affairs of

have been every whore destructive to each

Since tho conviction and condemna

Mins Cowart, the people and the papers
generally have hern praying for her par
don, or ot least for tho commutation of
her sentence to imprisonment in the
penitentiary, aud at hint Gov. Colquitt
lias boon induced to commute her sen
tence, One of the great objections
urged to hanging her is that she is a
woman, and that it would he wrong to
hung a woman in these days of high civ*
Mention, Well, wo can’t sou tho matter
in this light.
If Mm. Hothorn committed murder
she should havo sufforod tho penalty of
her crime. If hanging a w oman is a dis
grace to I he civilization of the nineteenth
century, why were not. the people and
the Press so olamnrous for the pardon of
Hunau ICberhart, Truo there was a deal
of difference in tho two crimes, but both
wore “unfortunate women" aud it seems
Hint this is wluit elicits so much sympa
thy for Mrs. Bothern, Violators of tho
law, without regard to sox, should ho
made to suffer the punishment it inflicts
or crime will become commonplace.
NO FENCE.
Richmond has ordered, or Will order
an election to take place in July to de
cide tho question of “fence or no fence'’
in that county, and why may not Lin
coln county follow suit. Wfl are Biire
tlie requisite number of names to peti
tion the Ordinary to call an election can
ho easily obtained in a very short time,
and wo are also confident that a majority
of tho intelligent voters of the county
favor tho "no fence” or stock law, and
all that is needed is for someone to put
the hall in motion. What say you Mr.
N. W. Stevenson? Forget your gold mine
for a few days, let Dr. Sim. and Oapt.
John do tho “panning" and you saddle
“Kate” anil ride around and let the peo
ple generally know—us the writer and
others know - that you tiro an earnest
and zealous advocate of this system of
economy. ,

(ionaliet of a recent date lius this to say
on the subject; "Anderson county, iu
South Carolina, and dmiburg coun
ty in North Cnroliu- 'raving adopted tlm

thoroughly testing the plan. It is said
that, many persons who worn very active
iu their opposition to the measure are
warmest in praise of present and pros

discovered that it is wiser to substitute

Gold in Lincoln County!
.-o-.
The Sitle Mine Ward
Mine -Mngriidor Mine,
“AUIHohh in It.”
Dixootw Oorisrv, June, 1878.
Mr. Editor :
The people of this county are all more
or less interested in the mining business.
Almost every day I hear questions asked
that go to prove that this interesi-is-oji,
tho increase. I don’t think there is a
man in Lincoln oouuty that would ho sur
prised to know that there was a rich gold
mine on bis plantation, and not a few
expect to find it as soon as crops are laid
by. These expectations may not he
groundless, as gold in found by prexk
pcctors iu every section of tho county.
I would not encourage any body in a
vaiu undertaking. Dot every man keep
his eyes open and use his best judgement
about what will pay. But if gold can Be
found in sufficient quantities to warrant
success, why nut work for it? You iiau
overstock tho market with everything
else hot gold. I believe moat of the
failures in this business lias boon attrib
uted to tho reckless expenditures of*he
miners and not to tho scurcity of miueral.
For im example of a profitable business
on a small outlay of means, wo will refer
to tho
OOMItBN MININII COXIPAVT.
A few months ago Dr. I<ano and Mr,
Finley found that rich vein, ft i de
composed quartz, found iu mieab state.
The main vein runs almost perpendioaloi
in the ground. They buvo f llowcd it
about 50 feet. From tho zc of the
sliafj, from whioU the richest dirt is dug,
it appears that several smaller veins
angle off from the main one, or it may
he H at the whole shaft, furnishes paying
dirt. The shaft is about 70 feet deep
1 at present, with two or three small lnn
uei* leading from it. This gold is very
rich in quality. One pennyweight from
this almft contains fid dents of gold mid
■I cents of silver. They say Uris is equal
to any iu the U. S. It is also rich hi
qnsuity. I2ven Biuco ('hnitmas they
have worked out
about ®IO,OOO.
The whole expense of this company i"
about equal to that ot 1 liorse farm.
They hire four hundJ’to wflbfir they pay
812 per month and board, ami nn ovciseer
to whom they pay SSO per month and
board, ’J hoy use no machinery, They
simply dam up u small brunch and from
the Watergate they run about 300 feet of
i flumes. They put quicksilver in these
j ilumoe, uml fi’l them out with r files, i
' and wash the dirt through them. After
washing they take up the riffles, tin*
quartz aud quicksilver that remain iu
the flumes are carefully claimed out and
heat up in a gallon mortar, and washed
out over tubes with common frying pans.
By this simple, economical process these
men washed out
OVER SIOO t’ltn UAV
every day lost week. Men of experience 1
think, with an iuoreuso of digging force
and i;so of machinery to crush the
quartz, this mine would yield
SIO,OOO I>F,K WEEK,
and if tho vein is lost the company i
still unhurt, for the surface of several
acres is rich enough t.. famish "pay
dirt." This mine is leased fqr three
years by four clever, “levoldiended" citi
izens of this county, men who have made
fiutiii.es before by lioucßt, hard licks,
who know how to take care of it and hew
to spend it, who know hew to lei Jo well
alone, aud heed no dreams of fancy, and
listen to no advice of castle builders.
They v ell deserve this streak of fort tine.
These men are doing an honest flourish
ing business, and appear to have no
secrets uml a stranger soon feels easy
among them.
Only a half mile from this mine is the
WAlill WINK.
Here the gold is found iu hard qifartz,
mid eumiot ho obtained without some
i expense. Therefore, tiiis company had
to go to the expense of mucuiuery ou i
; the strength of Aaitenug prospects, aiui,
|is now just beginning to operate, 'yirtr 1
j machinery is simple aud bountiful,, and ;
gotten up in busiucss style. It consists |
;of four stamps, ruu by steam. They
expect to double tho number of staisps j
soon, their water works aud arrangement* !
for catching the gold is simple enough j
when yon see it, but, hard to write about.
A quartz mine is said to be the best aud 1
surest, aud this company may reasonably
exjxiot success. In finding thus mine
Mr. Ward displayed insurmountable vim
and energy that is worthy of imitation
by all men in every honorable pursuit iu
life. To describe the torn up surface
of his plantation just as it appeared to !
me, would sotiud like bordering on the
incredible Tuen fore, excuse me. Tlte I
right men are running this mine to make
it raoeoseful.
1 learned yesterday that the
M.unurpEß MIN t:s
had recently been sold ut a high price,
aud that some man of experience says
they are worth half million dollars. I
expect this is a rich mine, hut those oh,
wrecks tell of too many companys tlia I ;■
have “fought, hied and died" there, to
make mo believe that.these failures are
attributable to the mining proocs, .uni
not to the mines.
A Mr. Lane, from Louisiana, is vim'- .
iug the gold mines of this con.i y S
present. He has had ID years > t ,X|> •
ience iu this ii*.e f hnsiues-t in t ie ter ]
West, having spent most of his ! uue,iu i

in his appearance, mid sens to haro
lnt nothing in refinement from the ran-
tier life. He thinks there is much rich
miueral in Lincoln and that such pros
pects in a regular mining region would
have attracted thousands of miners by
this time.
Liscolk county was settled hv quiet,
good, contented citizens long before the
gold fever broke out in the South, con
sequently its mineral value is not known,
but recent investigations have brought it
into notice, aud •strangers are visiting it
every few days, some to prospect, some
to invest. I hope it will all result in
good.

shining trouble.”
Very truly,
