INoi’tla Cjfoorjg-iwii. BKLLTON, G A., SEPTEMBER 18, IWR Comptroller General Gohhmith, How upon trial for impeachment, sent his resignation to the Governor, last Monday, but it was not accepted, and we suppose the Senate will go on with the trial. ——■■ ♦-< The Atlanta dailies have heen filled , tip for several days with majority and minority reports. We don’t have the time to read them, but suppose there is something ‘Totten in Denmark.” We can almost smell the stench way up here in the mountains. Gov. Robinson is the nominee, of the regular oipupiwd democracy of New York, wMle the Tammany ring, as bolters from the party have entered John Kelly in the field. This of course will greatly strengthen the republi can ticket. The latest news from Maine shows a failure, on the pnrt of the people, to elect Ihtvis republican candidate for Governor, by from three to five hun dred votes. This gives the election to the Legislature, which has a repub lican majority on joint ballot of 37. —■<- Prof. Tice predicts that the hottest spell of weather is yet to come. But Prof. Gather, of Alabama, predicts that frost may be looked for about this time in high latitudes, and about the 24t1> installt in the Southern States. One of these prophets will miss it badly. It seems that tire Republican con greMriopal campaign committee at. Washington is not as well satisfied witb the results in Maine and Califor nia. and the prospect In Ohio as it pretends tn be, and has made a de mand fltar more money from the de partment clerks. - , We have examined Col. Redwine’s minority report, dissenting from the majority on the Treasurer’s inves tigation, and think this is one of the times when the Colonel has “let his foot slip.” How he could have ar rived at the conclusion he did from the testimony, as printed, is beyond our capacity to understand. The legitimate result of the repeal of the duty on quinine is now being felt in a substantial manner. At first home manufacturers refused to supply the market, except at a higher price, but the imports increasing, the price of the drug has fallen twenty-five cents per ounce,and will undoubtedly go yet lower. The crop reports to the Depart ment of Agriculture for August show that for cotjon the general average is 85 against 91 the month previous. A decline is shown in all the cotton States except Arkansas and Tennes see. The average condition of the tobacco and corn < tops is somewhat better than it was one year ago. ■ - Whatever may be the end of the investigations now under way in At lanta, one. of the results, we think, will be a ‘shaking up’ of the ‘dry bones’ in the political camp. To bor row the idea of our old Dutch friend, <’apt. Keener, of Rabun,‘dose Kurd’s doosc need shoofling,’ and justice to all parties, makes a new' ‘deal’ neces sary.—Northeastern Progress. •»’♦'«» What would have been said of Samuel J. Tilden, by the Democratic party, if he bad been inaugurated President of the United States, and had appointed all bis cabinet, officers from the city of New York? Kirk wood is smaller somewhat than New York, and still Gov. Colquitt found all his secretaries in hiwown village. Is a man a “sore-head” because he refers to this matter? We put. this question to the Colquitt organs, and would like to have a reply. The Constitution, in begging the Legislature to keep off of Treasurer Renfroe’s bones, with an impeach ment. reviewed all the testimony except that part relating to the effort made to “swap” the deposit of the States’ money In the coffers of the Georgia Railroad nnd Banking Com pany, for a position on the road for a friend. Col.’Redwine also forget this matter in his minority report. The Constitution and Mr. Redwine will have, to “pick their Hints and come again.” Much controversy has been lately indulged in whether or not any train has made a mile n minute. The mat ter was put to a test a few days ago on the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the. unprecedented time of a mile in fifty seconds was made. This is the record of three miles: First mile, fifty-four seconds; second mile, fifty two seconds; third mile, fifty seconds -y-making the three miles in two miu utes and thirty-six seconds. NORTHEAST GEORGIA FAIR AND STOCK ASSOCIATION. The people of Northeast Georgia owe it to themselves to patronize everything in their injdst calculated to build up and develop their section. ! The Northeast Georgia Fair and Stock Association is an up-country institu tion; run by up-country men, and de serves the undivided patronage of the up-country folks. The fair opens in Athens, October 7th. and is to continue four days. The inside machinery is divided into fourteen departments, each one pre sided over by a competent superin tendent, and aa a consequence, every thing taken to the fair for exhibition . w ill be placed in its appropriate j apartment without the confusion that is usually seen at such entertain-1 ments. The racing will be fine, as several large purses are offered for the fastest 1 nags. , Everything that can be done to make the visitors to the Athens fair comfortable, will be done, for the people, of Athens are known far and wide as princes in this line. Ample) accommodations will be prepared for everybody and his wife, and all the stock that may be carried to Athens fair week, and we hope to see every-1 body avail themselves of this oppor-; tunity to visit Athens this fall. | From ti e Athens Watchman.] The work of improvement at the Fair grounds goes rapidly on. Tom Bowling, Snider, Blonde Keene, and other fast horses, are driven over the track every morning. Billy Hollman is bound to win some of the big purses. The lady making the largest num ber of entries, that is, exhibiting the greatest number of articles, will be , presented with a handsome toilet set. A scientific balloon man, from St. 1 Louis, has contracted with the Fair Association to make two ascensions during the fair, having only a trapeze bar for support, and will perform many wonderful feats in midair. Such ' as hanging by one hand, hanging by ' his toes, hanging by the back of his neck, and turning on the horizontal bar. The little girl, under 13 years of age, making the greatest number of entries, will receive a handsome writ ing desk. Let all of our citizens, not only in this vicinity, hut throughout North-' east Georgia, help the fair. Each family can send something, and every little helps. ’| Let every farmer bring in his fine stock. Specimens of corn, cotton, hay, fodder, fruits, vegetables, etc. I Let the housewife bring in butter, I pickles, preserves, breads, cakes, i plain and ornamental sewing, flowers, • etc. Premiums are offered for all these articles. Send and get a premium list, and see what each can send for exhibition at the fair. - , The Republican party is in a mi nority in the State on the fullest vole ever given. Their average majority upon a full vote has been eighteen thousand until last year. In iB6O it i reached twenty-seven thousand. The present year bitt for the vote that has , been directly purchased with money . this party would have been defeated by a majority of at least fifteen thou- i sand. In the history of elections i there has never been such open, shameless, bribery of voters. The j amount of money expended in pur chasing votes was simply enormous. Instances are known where one hun dred dollars was paid to a single voter. The price averaged from five dollars upwind to an amount sufficient to se cure the vote. Thc safety of elective governments demands that this whole sale bribery shall be arrested. This should be made the leading issue in future elections until an honest result is received. A victory purchased by such means should cover its partici pants with shame.—Maine Standard. Mrs. Gertrude Thomas, of Augusta, recently published a letter expressing kind and generous sentiments towards Mr. Davis, which has elicited a letter of thanks from him, in which he says : "Fidelity is the characteristic of your sex, and they have always most man ifested it in their adherence to the. fallen. 1 trust your son Jeff, will be I a comfort and stay to you in declining years, ami that the Father may give I to you and yours the blessing which is His to bestow, is the earnest prayer of your friend.” The receipt* of cotton at all the United States ports, from September Ist, 1878, to September Ist, 1879, were 4,447,276; overland shipments, | 474.255; Southern consumption. 152,- 000, and the total crop for the year amounts to 5,073,531 bales. ——— w- Diphtheria has begun the rounds. MR. TILDEN. The people have been accustomed to regard Mr. Tilden as a timid states man, and we have shared in that opi nion until his recent action at Syra cuse, N. Y., in deliberately kicking . out Tammany Hall and its 50,000 Democratic voters, because he be lieved them influenced entirely by corrupt motives. That was an act of 'as sublime moral heroism as that of I Old Hickory Jackson, when he took i Nick Biddle by the throat, swearing by the eternal that there should be no compromise, but that either the Unit’d States Dank or Andrew Jack son—one or the other—should come to the ground dead. Mr. T. has thus staked all his political fortunes on the election of Robinson as Governor of New York; but while we cannot withhold our admiration for his bold ness, we are not prepared to say much for his discretion. Wellington said that the greatest military man the world ever produced.committed a fatal blun der in forcing a Collison at Waterloo, and we think the great New Yorker has committed one that may nut, even if the “coup de elat” should prove successful, enure to his per sonal benefit; and if it should end in disaster, would consign him to a political St. Helena. There is no doubt that the great } IlcinocratlC party of the country de sired a compromise of the discordant elements in New York, not only be cause it is necessary to the grand triumph of 1880, but because the effect of disintegration there now will unquestionably jeopardize Mr. i Ewing’s success in Ohio. Should i Ewing, therefore, be beaten, even if Robinson shall succeed, it will no i doubt alienate thousands of’ Western i Democrats from Mr. Tilden, should I he. receive the nomination for the I Presidency. But the Rubicon is passed—and we confess to some fears for the result, ••ven although “we carry t'tesar.” One of the “South Carolina mer : < hants” of Bellton, who went to At lanta, last week, writes a very inter esting and humorous letter for The North Georgian, but we have not the time, nor the space to print it, but will I give the concluding paragraph : “I was then beset (?) by our very worthy Senator, Col. A. D. Candler, and the only compromise I could i make with him, was to go to the Markman House, and take dinner, and here we were joined by Mr. John j N. Garrison, of Gillsville. I n<>d ffot I say, when you consider the trio, that full justice was done to the dinner. II found Gol. Candler hard at work. ; and am satisfied that our Senatorial | district is safe in his bands, and can I further say no district in the State boast a more honored representative i than ours.” A man named Bailes, confined in jail at Athens, Ala., whose execution | was to have taken place last Friday I for the murder of his wife, but whose sentence was suspended on an appeal to the Supreme Court, was forcibly I taken from prison Friday, and car ried by a mob of three thousand peo -1 pie to a point half a mile from the jail, with the view of lynching him. !No one would tie. the knot, and the Sheriff, taking advantage of the inde cision, drew his pistol, rescued Bailes and drove back to jail with him, the : crowd dispersing. An attempt was i made to lynch him when he was first ! arrested, but was prevented with dis : Acuity. The Southern negro will again be gin his exodus in the fall.it is said. The cause is given as being his ina bility to longer endure the oppression of the Southern store-keeper and the Southern planter. Still, if the colored gentleman and his family is coming ; North with the false idea that he is to have nn'ovation, and that Ute men with whom he will deal are angels lingering on earth to shower blessings ' on him, then he will be greatly mista ken. If he immigrates he will have to fight for a living with a vigor of which he has not dreamed. lie must be prepared to work like a white man, not like a negro.—Chicago News. —«.« It is a fact not found in any Repub lican pajjer, nor mentioned by any Republican campaign speaker, that there are more Union soldier em- I ployes on the rolls of the present ' Democratic Congress, than were ever borne on the rolls of any Republican Congress. It is a fact which Republi can journals and speakers studiously i ignore, that the Union soldiers have received more consideration and much better treatment from Congress since the Democracy gained control of the House and took charge of the appro priations, than were ever accorded them during the long period of Re publican rule.—Maine Standard. We want money and must have it. GEORGIA. From the Immigrant Settler’s Stand point. A copy of this interesting manual has accidentally fallen into our hands, and we arc pleased with the intention of the pamphlet, to-wit: to attract immigrants to Georgia. There are quite a number of letters in the book from leading Northern men, and from them we cull the follow ing in regard , to Banks-county: “I was born in Northern Ohio; went from there to North Carolina in 1873. and came to Georgia in 1874. I am a t physician,and have been well patron ized and well treated since my resi dence here. I believe lam the only Northern man residing in Banks : county, who came since 1865. I find the climate delightful and healthy; no malarial diseases; excellent free stone water. People live here to an I , extreme old age. One, man has died j since my residence here aged 114, ■ years; and one woman, his wife, at . '■ 108; also a colored woman at the age I of 106 years; two others, said to be about 100. and several are now living nearly 100. “The soil is well adapted to corn, wheat, oats and cotton. The heat in the summer is not so oppressive as at i the North, and the winters are de lightful. The inhabitants in the main are honest, industrious and of tem perate habits. Education is at a low 1 ebb. but efforts are being made for i more and better schools. A man’s j life and property are as safe here as |in any part of the United States. ; . Doors are seldom locked, and larceny >is seldom heard of. I have never felt [ that I was slighted or ostracised for j being a yankee, but I believe in many j : instances I have been treated with more courtesy because of my nativity ; for the purpose of correcting any wrong impression I have received. ; Wild land is held at from 82 to «10 i per acre, and improved lands at from ! 87 to S2O. Farming pays as large a 1 per cent on investment as in any part 1 of the United States. Good mechanics, ' | especially blacksmiths, are needed; ; but most of all, experienced and well ; qualified teachers, male and female. : Thomas Haydhn.” We are glad to be able to publish this letter, from a gentleman so well posted and so well disposed as regards : truth, as Dr. Hayden. He tells the | unvarnished facts about Banks, and if '■ h<‘ had added, “we want farmers as j well as mechanics and school teach- ; ers,” he would have hit the nail square on the head. Dr. Hayden is settled, we suppose, for life, in Banks; has married here, and is thoroughly identified with our people. We wish we had a whole brigade of such men in Banks, with I i their families. They would add large- : , ly to our population, detract nothing ; from th<‘ morals of the country, and would do much m building up our , waste places. In the name and behalf of the peo- ■ pie of Banks, we invite all the North- ; ern people in want of quiet, peaceful ; homes to Banks county, believing ■ that they will be suited and well pleased with the country when they | get here. i Butler, it is reported, is pushing his j canvass for the office of Governor of, Massachusetts quietly but effectively. It is said that quite a large number of ■ both parties who voted against him last year are willing to support him this year, not because they like him, ' I but because they believe that if he is | allowed to be Governor once he will ■be satisfied, and will not trouble the i State any further as far as politics is concerned. They believe that if he is beaten this year he will come to the ! front again next year, and so on until ; he is either elected or dies. j DO WE BELIEVE TN WITCH CRAFT? "I take the position that we do not. in its broad sense, saida gentleman of j years and experience, and yet we find > many of the present day earn ing a I Buckeye in their pocket thwlhgh a ( kind of superstition, when they might ! be relieved by a few applications of Tabler’s Buckeye Pile Ointment.” i This ointment is'made from the Buck- ! i eye. and is recommended for nothing else but piles.
