THURSDAY MOUSING, NOV. I, 1H77. VFR Senator. 42 District: .*>- < JUDGE SAMUEL HAWKINS, OF CHATTOOGA. Subject to the ratification of a Demo cratic District Convention. Special Notice. By reference to the Governor’s letter to the Committee, it will be seen that lie will address the people of Chattooga and surrounding counties, at Summerville, on Saturday the 10th inst. Professor Orr will nocompany the Governor and deliver an address on Education. All are in vited, male and female—ladies especially. Dead Beats. The Rome Tribune says: “The man who will read it paper < ight months, and when called upon for his subscription de clines to pay, because he never subscribed for it, is a petty sneak thief—we caro not how line ho dresses, what circles he moves in, or how loud he prays. We have been supplying a few such dead beats in this city. Wo find such eases not worth the trouble.” * Well said, Brother Sawyer, but you might have included that class of advor tisers, who let their cards run for a year nr more, and when asked for the pay, have the effrontery to tell you that thev thought it was put in “just to fill up space;" just as if they wore of more consequence than the ten thousand items of interest to the general public we have to exclude for want of space. Accom modation to the publisher, indeed! The very height of presumption and vanity! But, Brother Sawyer, did you not. know that a man who would steal the nickles from a dead nigger’s eyes would receive a newspaper, or let his advertise ment run year alter year, and then, if you to pay for the subscription, or advertisement, would meet you with a refusal—may he get mad and insult you? and have the audacity and meanness to toll you your paper wasn’t worth any thing, and that he wouldn't have it. Mean, meaner, meanest. But that don't exactly express it. Will somebody tell us what will? “Lot her roll; let her roll; let her roll.” Useless Jargon. The Tammany County Convention, New York, at, a recent meeting,-Adopted resolutions condemnatory of Mr. Hayes' right and title to the Presidency, he liav ing acquired the same by force of fraud ulent ret urns of votes. nn unconstitutional Electoral Commission, and that this fraud vitiates his acts, as well as title to the office ho holds; that no act, of his can condone his fraudulent accession to, and his unlawful retention of the same, and that his order to officeholders that they should not meddle with party polities, if adhered tq and enforced, should lend to his impeachment and removal from office. These, we presume, arc the sentiments of the entire Democratic world; hut then, what are yon going to do about it? Why keep up this useless jargon? The deeds is done; the President Ins control of the country, and the people submit to his authority. Why then forevermore lore them with allusions, resolutions, animad versions and re-assertimis of the vicious ness of his title to the office he holds? All these things may be, and doubtless are true; but as long as no effort is being mole to reverse this order of things why this eternaT whimpering over it? Why not set about devising seme means to prevent such a state of affairs for tho future? Would that not be the better policy? "Tis true, if Mr. Hayes holds his office by or through fraud, then it follows that his acts are illegal, and would be reversed by any unprejudiced and competent court of the world. Hut then, no one will prefer a test question for adjudication, and the thing will just rook on, and Mr. Hayes will go on exercising the prerogatives of his office with as much nonchalance as the moon rides her circuit of the skies, regardless of the harkings of a dog. Come, gentlemen, you who arc whin ing about Mr. Hayes’ ce npaney of the Presidential office, do something in earnest and tangible to oust him from it, cr cease this twaddle, and “let us have peace;” for we are heartily siek and tired of this continual braying at the man, which shows incompotency to remedy the evil, or a want of courage to take the lion by the heard, and contest the sit uation. Besides, what arc these men forever br.,yig about? Is it because Mr. Hayes is the occupant of the Presidential chair? Well, how came he there? Didn't the Democrats do it? Why aid they consent to the Electoral Commission that resulted in eight to seven and put Mr. Hayes in? And then, didn’t .Mr. Tilden, after he was fairly elected, and all the world suiJ so, sit idly and quiescently by, and never lor once raise a protesting voice to the iniquitous scheme? Why didn’t he show the man of courage, and like General Hampton, of South Carolina, give them to undi rstand, “thus far mayest thou come, hut no farther.” Mr. Tilden is to blame; the Democracy is to blame. Then cease this murmuring, and make the best of a had bargain. That’s what we say. Gov. Colquitt to be in Summerville.

Secretary Executive Department. — The Capitol. What does all this twaddle about ro moving the Capitol from Atlanta to Mil ledgevillc mean? Is there really any seriousness about it? Who is it in Geor gia that wants to go hack to Milledgeville with the Capitol, and State archives? What sensible man is there in the S ate that would not regret such a rash act in six months? This subject has annoyed the tax-payers hng enough. The people of the State, without reference to age, sex, or previous condition, have too much sense to he led astray or entrapped into this enormous task by the aims of a tew to he hsnetiued, Atlanta i i* ■ for Capitol purps iM as much as the State property *in Milledgville. Wh at economy is in such an undertaking now? And would it not be suicidal in the people to be guilty ol such foolishness? A correspondent of the Atlanta Con Klihitiini, signing himself "Observer,” writing from Rome, says: “The Constitution will receive almost a unanimous vote in this count Atlanta about the same vote for the | eriuanent capital ut the fitate.

Now is the time for good men to come to tlio front. I understand lion. Iv P. Howell, of Atlanta, is spoken of for the Senate, and hope he may be elected by an increased majority. More anon." We heat lily endorse the sentiments of “tll|jjpmwr " and hope the above named gentlemen may be elected without oppo sition. They have all been in the Legis li attire before, and their services h are imperatively demanded. yfr Mr. Hayes is represented as saying in his Atlanta speech to the colored pec pie, "I believe that your rights and interests would be safer if this great mass of in telligent wlute men were let alone by the general government. And now, my col ored friends, we have been trying it for these six months, and in my opinion in no six months since the war have there been so tew outrages aud invasions of your rights, persous and homes, than in tlio last six mouths.” Has Mr. Hayes been all these long years “looking through a glass darkly,” or has ho been dull of apprehension? Had lie given any credit to the history of the South, and not been blinded by a bloody-sflirt prejudice, tor better would it have been for him, and no doubt fdf his Ohio followers. But were these the honest sentiment* of liis heart? or was it lor a purpose, taking advantage ot the occasion, time and place, that induced him to their utterance? We dislike to iuipugu any man’s motives, but we all know what an influeuee surrounding cir cumstances has upon one, when be has a selfish object to promote. Three Judges of the Superior Court have died in Georgia this year —Clark, Peeples, and Jlih. Texas Items. To the Editor uf The Qatette: Having promised my many friend r in Chattooga and Walker counties to write to them, and as it is utterly impossible to address them individually by loiter, and the majority if them being readers of your paper, I tuke this method to redeem my promise. This place is located 85 miles south-east from Dallas, .'{.o west of Tyler, .'{(.* south of Wills’ Point, 4.0 north of Palestine, on the line between Henderson and Van Zandt counties. I have bqjp here nearly twelve months, and I tliinx I have seen a sufficiency of this- part of Texas to know what its advaritageiftnd disadvan tages are. A man with small capital can do (sitter with it here tha^can be dyne in any of those older .States, regardless tf the rccupation he may embark in, A great many immigrate here bringing with them the vain idea that they will make a fortune in a day.. They seek the richest soil, settle upon*Wme creek, or river, ami ere eight inoifWis roll around the chills and hillious fever seize them, and just us soon as they are able to crawl They give everything they possess for an old broken down wagon and four Texas ponies. Thus equipped, they roll out for old “Gawgy.” They then not only give Texas Hail Columbia, but curse it lor everything they think #f, and thev can think of a great deal. From this class, the majority of the hard working, ener getic r 'titers of those old, worn out coun ties. who could come here, and consider ably better their condition, obtain all their information in regard to the “Lone Star State.” Asa general thing, this is a deep, sandy country—soil varying from two to four feet, resting upon a red clay as hard as brick. upon most uplands in all low unoftßubby, and consists of hickory, black jack, post oak, sand-jack and sumach. On the bottoms, branches amt around marshes, the growth is tall. There we obtain all timbers t'or building and fencing. There is but little white oak, and not a poplar in the State. Twenty miles east of this place the pinery begins, where we get all our lumber at $1.50 per hundred feet. Land is no object here. Unimproved can bo had for from 25 cents to $6; im proved from $4 to $8; and if this don't suit a man, the State will give a single man eighty, and a man and family one hundred and sixty acres — provided they will settle and live on it three years. And you will please bear in mind, you can find any kind of land in Texas a man uiay want; even the most fustidiyik> suited. I suppose there is no soil but can he found in Tcxmfc. prairie you uiqy traveTlWfOft* and see nothing hut the ground, iaft| sun and sky—not even a riding switch, or a drop of water, “where man has never made a track yet.” In dry weather it is too hard, and in wet, so sticky they pull it all up and carry it. Here, too, arc the hard, rocky hillsides, as in Georgia, with their long timbers; hut they are unlit tor anything except the timber, or for build ing sites, lor the clay is so close to the surface it will not sinnd the drouths to which Texas is subject. It is astonishing how a crop will stand dry weather on the deep sandy lands. An eight weeks drought docs but little damage. Everything considered, this, in my judgment, is the best farming country I ever saw, although a great many give this the name of being the poorest part of the State- But Eastern Texas lias sum_‘- rior advantages to any west of the Trinity river. We have plenty of timber, waier, and the seasons more favorable; but whenever you strike that part of the country west of the Trinity and Braßos rivers, you will not get a drink of water as often as you may want it. Here in the timber country, you can find every kind of water, from the meanest to the best, and a splendid supply tor man and L%-t A man can raise as many cattle aAe wishes, having to feed but very little dur ing winter, and some don't feed any, apd nc-Jrly every*tall there is a sufficiency of acorns to fatten the hogs. Now to the productions this El Doradi; We can raise be raised in Ovoigia.,oxccMpSj other grasses. Co^^xottimPOusvswee'f potatoes and goobers all flourish here. But little wheat is grown in this section, notwithstanding this is a fine country foT it. The farming in tbis coun try is, a mail fyßi't have to wear himself out plowing bird, rocky land. 'J he turn joritv of jdl [glide that are cultivated are all level and free trom rocks. The son is always loose, and can be plowed at any time. You never hear a man complain okMLl“* lauiftfcunn together,” and in dry weather. We use cast-iron scoote'3 shovels, twisters, and ir fact nearly air our plows are east —they being cheaper than wrought-iron This country is unequaled lorgfah-ing corn. It only requires seven funCwsTß the row, with a sweep to ouitiyatAytU'teT the crop is planted. Asa geiXraTtriTwjr, I the corn is planted the first w ocean April i and begin to pull fodder the i-ith of July. There is corn enough in this section of I country to do it two years. It is almost j impossible to get money lor it, aud what little is selling only brings twenty-five cents per bushel. Bacon is worth 10 cents; flour 3s; sorghum 15 cents per gallon. Now is the time for emigrants, while everything is cheap. Land, provisions and stock never will be cheaper tjian they are now. Ar.d right here let me advise all who contemplate coming to Texas, to thoroughly examine Henderson ami Van Zandt counties. Texas is not half so bad as it is repre sented to’Ae, and I am confident, if the real state of affairs could be set before the .homeless of North Georgia, ere another ysar ri lied round they would migrate- to tho\L me Star State. A great tyany havo'Jieen prejudiced against Texas by being informal that it was infested with tarantulas, centipedes and huge replies. All of which is bosh. Even the press in old States are against emigration to tuWWesteincoootryjy * to dig, that so many hardyorkingTbiicrgetic ni#fc will stay in those old worn out countries and rent land 1 that will not make fifteen bushehipf com to the acre, arid only get SIU per for labor, when there is as rnuuh unoc cupied lund land here, and as great a de mand for labor as there is, where ujj, might secure homes, “anu everyone sif under his own vine and tig tree, and nrfhe dure to molest. ” Health is geqprally good here. I heard a physician sajsgHis sumiiigr, lie believdß he would certainly starve. When there is any sicknes, it is mostly bill >us ness; such as chills and fevers, ami pnoHiooirib. ’This country is fiWe from those old diseases, such a. consumption, bronchitis and asthma. A good dentist can work an overhanded fortune here. Thomas M. Graham. Walton, Van Ziiiult Cos., 'IV*.. Oct. M, IKT7. The State Senatorship.
