JXoi’tll Cjt 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 ■cess. Athens Chronicle. The Republicans have decided to run a. candidate of their own for Con gress in each district in the Smith, for < the. purpose of consolidating their' ■strengt h for president in 1.884 k Should . they adopt this course in this district. 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 reorganized. He is a brilliant young 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 ing and others are banding together for ]WotecJion. A courier who has arrived al Cheyenne reports that lie saw the dea/i bodies of Gen. Gordon, a well known freighter, who was en gaged in hauling goods from Rawlins tolls- While River Agency, and of one of his tcanvMers. No apprehen sion of trouble is felt at Dixon. - * ♦ - 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. Banks siperior coert. 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. (W- A- 4 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 the Northeastern Railroad,|l Lula junction, we would invite espeial at- ( ' tention to a route ria (Jeveland I White County, and Blairsvik Union ; County, to Murphy, N. C. ipon ex- < jamming the map it will be fkmdihat I 1 this is not only a most practial rente. • but would open up to Atiensjthe trade, of one of the very bus seclons ( of North (icorgia, and Westen Njrth ( Carolina. The country through w)ich • this route would pass not onn at- ■ tractive by reason of its'abnmlarj ag ricultural products, but. for its Vast ’ I mineral wealth which is now ping' 1 i rapidly developed. The pcopf of 1 White County, and especially q the beautiful Nachooche Valley.are |eal ly stirred up as to this enterprisq A j i prominent gentleman from thatjsec : tion informed us the other day, (that: , j forty thousand dollars could be iised , ; there at any time, and that the [fople , were determined to have a rajroad connection. That the great ijuing J interest of that section, to sav njhitig | of its valuable agricultural resiirces. demanded it, and that if Sothern j capital or our own people di< not. Northern capitalists would bui|| it." 'i’he route from Lula junction to’leve land is a very line one. Hie pijn ipal expense that would have tojie in curred being the bridging of HwChat taliooche river. We are not fjmiliar w ith the route from to I . Dahlonega, but as there is lumove | men! on foot, looking to the confection : jof Dahlonega with the Norihiistern i Railroad at Lula, would it notfe well to consider the route ria Clefeland. If practicable, we are inclined to be lieve more money could be rased on j this line, than any other, as y;t, pro- j posed.—Al hens Banner. 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 .papers and their constituency.— Au gusta 1 >aily News. 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. : brethren? Let a day for meeting be [appointed as soon as possible, to be held either in Athens vr Gainesville. Toccoa News.
