BELLTON, GA., OCTOBER <», 187 U.
The fact is now patent that a man,
to get along in this world easy, is to
steal anything he can get his hands
on—from a chinquapin to a railroad.
All he needs is a little brass to check
the How of a mild condemnation from
the public when his sharpness be
comes too apparent.—Phonograph.
Senator Beck, of Kentucky, in a re
cent interview with a representative
of the Chicago Times, said in regard
to the Ohio election that he believed
Ewing’s majority would be “small
but sufficient.” He also believes that
if Robinson is elected Governor of
New York, Tilden will be nominated
for President by acclamation.
The position of the Cincinnati Com
mercial (Rad.) on the Grant question
is thus succinctly stated by the editor
of that paper: “Our position on the
Grant boom is very affectionately in- I
quired into. We think it. highly prop
er to give Gen. Grant a first class re
ception, but we do not think it would ;
be the part of wisdom to run him for ;
the Presidency again. We hope this
is satisfactory.”
Colorado elected last Tuesday an
associate Judge of the supreme court , I
a lot of district attorneys and some i
other local officers. The State has I
cast republican majorities ever since i
it was prematurely admitted to the i
union, and the news that it has again ;
gone republican surprises nobody.
The Dutch are simply holding Hol
land.—Constitution.
Maj. Orme, of the Savannah Re
corder, persistently puts forth the
name of Col. W. T. Thompson, of the
Morning News, for Congress from
the First. District,‘while some of the
weekly papers there are just as per
sistent in putting forth the claims of
the gallant. Major for the same posi
tion. It is seldom we witness such
magnanimity on the part of the breth
ren.—Augusta News.
Our dispatches show that Texas,
ahyays wide-awake to her interests, is
securing emigrants of the better sort
before they sail from the old world.
Texas knows what she wants, and
knows how to secure it. Will Geor
gia never find out that her unoccupied
acres can only be peopled by the
methods that have long been employ
ed in this and other countries? Our
soil is not so deep ami rich that peo
ple will come here unsolicited.—Con
stitution.
The opening of the University last
Wednesday realized the expectations
■of its wannest friends. The attend
ance uyi iodate is larger than has been
known since I8(>9. There are a great ’
many new students, but the return of
the majority of those here last year [
is the most, gratifying feature of the
opening. The people of the Stale 1
have the utmost confidence in the .
present Cirineellor ami Faculty, and
but one year of their administration i
has brought the Cniversity into its I
former position of influence and swe- j

The Republicans have decided to
run a. candidate of their own for Con
gress in each district in the Smith, for <

Pledger will doubtless loom up as a
candidate for Congress next year, and
if true, farewell Emory. You went
up like a sky rocket, you’ll come down
as a very dead stone. To avert this
calamity. Emory had better become

man. and if reorganized will prove a
powerful leader. .Madisonian.
'l'he very latest from the scene of
the late Indian outbreak is to the es
feet that the I'tes in the neighborhood
of the mines in Colorado are reported
in w-.ir paint. Many, miners are leav

for ]WotecJion. A courier who has

Wo notice that whenever a group
discuss the question, “Who shall be
our next Governor?" on the streets,
they generally settle. down on Gen.
L. J. Gartreil, Esq., as the liest man.
'Phis is no fancy sketch. As for our
selves, we eau find no good reason
why he should not be our next Gov
ernor. He has (he ability, and not a
wmd’M' an insinuation have we heard
against his high character, either puls
lic <>r private. Ami this seems to be
the prevailing opinion over the great
er part of Geoi-eja.—Jlartwell S tu.

The Superior Court assembled at
Homer, on Monday last. Most, of the
eases were continued, in conseqyenee
of which the court adjourned Tuesday
! evening. But the grand jury was still
in session when we left—Wednesday
afternoon. We hope to give our read
ers the presentments next week.
We met at court a considerable
number of friends and acquaintances,
and received every evidence of their
sympathy and suppork, * u ol,r news
paper enterprise.
Among the most prominent lawyers
present, we met (fen. L. J. Gartreil.
of Atlanta; Hou. Emory Speer, of
Athens, and Cols. Estes, Marler and
Findlay, of Gainesville.
Uncle Lawshc, of the Southron, and
Bro. Christy, of the Watchman, were
the only newspaper men we saw on the
ground. We met them Wednesday
morning, compared notes and found
that all tlirec of us h id not collected
over a thousand dollars.
We promised some of our friends
to make another visit to Homer and ,
other places in the county, in a short
time, in the interest of the North
Georgian, when we expect to meet I
many who were not at court and give
them a chance to subscribe.
Hon. Emory Speer addressed the
people on Tuesday, during noon re
cess, in response to a largely signed
petition by the. citizens of the county.
The court house was completely tilled
and the eloquent orator, as usual, sus
tained himself splendidly in review
ing the action of the last session of:
Congress. He reviewed step bv step '
the entire action of the Democratic
party, and demonstrated to the satis
faction of independents and organized
alike the wisdom of the course pur
sued during the last session by the
Democracy. Mr. Speer is a born ora
tor and statesman, and his sojourn in
Washington has added immensely to
his already scholarly attainments.—
The people of the Ninth District
have, just cause to be proud of their
representative.
We talked with several gentlemen
about our next Governor, and did not
find a single, man opposed to General
Gartreil. We are satisfied that he is ■
the choice of a large majority of the
people of Banks.
The Baltimore Sun,commenting on
Mr. Tilden's letter Io the Mary land
Democrats, says: “It is manly and
straightforward. The issue ii><-
country, involving the very existence
of a free government, he said, was i
"not to be belittled as a personal
grievance.' It was to be dealt with i
as a. great public cause on trial before .
the American people. This is the
proper view to take ol the matter.
Mr. Tilden is old. He is sometimes
reported to be feeble, though those
who engage w ith him in controversy
do not find him so. He might die to
morrow ,or the next week. .But his
death would not. make the wrong
doing in the fraudulent count by re
turning boards of (he. votes of the
people in Izmisinna and Florida, in :
18711. any the less a monstrous iuiqtii-)
ty. lii denouncing that iniquity. Mr.
Tilden’s old coat upon a pole would
afford a better candidate, a candidate
fuller of substance and the pith of
principle, than any who could stoop 1
to condone that iniquity, as perpe
(rated by those rascally contrivances
id'carpetbag government in Hie South
called returning boards."
The signs of the times indicate the
westward tendency of the empire
more than ever before. New Eng
land, after agitating the country into
bloody strife, in behalf of the eman
cipation of chattel slavery . now turns
her attention to the economy of Mon
golian labor, starves out her native
workmen, and finds a responsive sen
timent in the hearts of those she has
helped Io destroy. I’hilanthropbv
takes the heel of the winds. Massa
chusetts and .Louisiana kneel around
the same common altar of cheap la
bor,and embrace the heathen Chinee.
The wild west, from the Pacific to the
Missouri, forbids the heathen, but ex
tends a welcome to the white man of
the east. Dalton Headlight.

The Washington Post boils the ex
odus agitation down to this great
i truth.: .“White labor has produced
hall the great cotton crop of Missis
sippi, and a large percentage of that
I of oilier M ates, the blacks are needed
in the South and it will be for their
interest to stay there. But if North
ern mischief makers lure them awav,
lheir places van and will be tilled.
When any man or class of men think
they can’t be spared, a great mistake
is generally made. There is no place
tilled by any man that can't be refill
ed when he leaves it. Cotton will be
raised because it is necessary and a
paying crop. If the negroes will not
produce it, others will do that work."
A RAILROAD TO CLEVEBND.
As considerable interest is pw b'e
: ing felt in connecting the coutry be- t
yond the Chattahoochee rifr with

this route would pass not onn at-

THE COINTRY PRESS.
'Die Legislature has beforeft a bill
to regulate the price of lega adver
tising in this State. The tieasnrc
would be. a proper one dii it not
operate against the country ptess. In
fact, it is said that the bill wai gotten
j up in the interest of the city monopoly
dailies, who are desirous of using this
as a means to crush out. the country '
newspapers. Not many yea's since. ,
I hose dailies controlled a largi patron-'
age from the county officers cotitiguous
to theireitifs.and all of this patronage
: lias been lost bv the establishment of
| weeklies in nearly every county. The
I country press, as a rule, do not charge
' but. a reasonable compensation for the
! county advertising, which is their main
j support. These dailies know this fact,
land think that if they can begotten
iout of the way then they will again
I control the advertising, and fix the
irate at any price they may desire.
[There is not a country paper in the
i State that is not worth to the county
. ten times the value of the advertising
: it receives, and the county patronage
jis not only their right but to the
I county’s interest. The countrv mem-
I hers of the Legislature should look at
I this matter, and do justice to their

NINTH DISTRH T PRESS ASSO-
< IVI ION.
| There are nearly I w ent v newspapers
I published in this congressional district,
and as one of the most spirited and
■ heated campaigns, both national and
. State, ever known in the annals of
I politics will soon bo upon ns. we sug
. gest to our brethren the advisability
I of organizing a “Ninth ('ongrcssional
I District I’ress Association." for the
' purpose of mutual advancement and
interchange ot thoughts and opinions
as regards the interests of matters
all'ecling the newspaper business.—
’Tis true we have a Male Associa
tion, having almost the same object
I in view, but it only meets annuallv.
and then it is more of a holiday for
those who attend than business of
any kind. This new association could
meet three or four times a year easily,
as they all live close together and of
easy access to any point in the Dis
trict. We hope the brethren will ex
press themselves in regard to this
I matter, and let an organization lie
j perfected at once. There's uncle Fete
: I.awshe of the Southron. Ham of the
Eagle. Blats of the Georgian. Christy
of tlic Watchman, and many others
, who no doubt will take an active part
lin its organization. What say you.

[appointed as soon as possible, to be
held either in Athens vr Gainesville.
