CVorth aeorgtoy. BELLToi, GA., OCTOBER 16, IJfip, The Northcast Georgia T and Stock Association, at Athens, last week, we learn from our afcchanges, was a grand success. Hurrah for Athens. f Horatio Seymour says: “The great changes in the asjject of our financial affairs are due to the statesmanship of | the plow, nos to the wisdom of legis lators nor .he skill of financiers.” The North Georgia fair, commenc infin Atlanta, next Monday,the 20th .fist., promises to be, a grand success. The Air Line Road will sell return tickets for one fare, and ample room will be made for all visitors. Prof. Tice predicted last month, while it was cool, that wo would have weather as warm as any since the summer time began. It does look as if Tice was for one time, right, as the weather has been very oppressive. Very soon we will say good bye to our present legislature. Some of the members will doubtless visit Atlanta again in the capacity of law makers, but the majority will retire, to the shades of private life.—Atlanta Post. — Gov. Colquitt has appointed ex- Gov. James M. Smith, Samuel Bar nett and Maj. Campbell Wallace ns the Railroad Commissioners. The Constitution says “'under the appoint ment of Government Colquitt every requirement is met.” At a Republican meeting in Balti more last week, ex-Postmaster Gen eral Cresswell said ‘“the need of the hour was the presence in the White House of a man whose past acts would be a guarantee that fraud and corrup tion in elections could not exist.” -♦-<. _ ■ .. . A special from Waynesboro to the Augusta News states that a very dis astrous storm struck that place Friday night. The Baptist Church, which was in course of erection, was entirely demolished. Many trees were up rootedrtind fences blown down. From the country it is reported that the cot ton is much damaged. A new temperance movement has been organized in Great Britain. It takes the form of a joint stock compa ny, with a capXtlll of *5,900,(?TX>. In shares of *5 each. It proposes to open temperance houses all over the kingdom. 'l'he Archbishop of Can terbury heads the list in the prospec tus of the enlerprisc. The corporators of the Dahlonega Air Line. Railroad, held a meeting at Alh</ns, on the 8(n inst. TJie charter granted by (he Legislature was read and uccepted by a unanimous vote. A bofcmittec was appointed to open hooks of subscription for the purpose of constructing a railroad from Dah louegu to liula, and we learn they are meeting with much success. The Gjiinesvilliaiis will have to wake, up. r ► ♦ « ,’Quite a romantic marriage has just come to light. About the Itlthof last May, Miss Katie Houston, a young dsmgliler of Major W. .1. Houston, of the Air Line road, was married to Mr, J. A. Sams. They were married tyy Rev. Dr. Spaulding, and the mat ter was kept profoundly secret until last Thursday, when Mr. Sams went down to Decatur and claimed his lovely bride. ———— The expensqp of the present legis lature will reach nearly two hundred thousand dollar*. This sum would keep n poor than in coal and wood, and Roman eandlesnt least six months —or he could take the, mqney and buy him a through ticket to Texas, and have enough left to support him seven weeks. But iUis useless to make cal culations. TJie money is gone.—Con stitution. We are told by an -excitable organ of the Radical faith that ”tlie question comes nearer and nearer for decision whether the bayonet or the shot gnu shall rule in the South.” If that means anything at all, it is that if the Re publican party gets control in Con gress and retains the office which Mr. Hayes now holds by theft, bayonet rule is to he again tried in the South, in order to restore Radical ascendan cy in that section. Ex-Senator Hippel Mitchell, of Or egon, who has just arrived in Wash ington. says the whole I’aeitic slope is w ild for Grant. He says nothing will prevent the unanimous nomina tion of Grant except his positive and unqualified declaration in advance that under no circumstances will be accept a nomination. Blaine after Grant, be says, is the favorite, and in the almost impossible event of neither one of these being nominated, then Gherman will stand a chance. THE OHIO ELECTION. The battle has been fought and the Republicans are masters of the, situa tion. Foster has been elected Gover nor by 17,000 majority. The Legisla ture is republican. In Hamilton conn- ' ty, a negro candidate for the legislar , j ture, leads the highest Democrat by I nearly one thousand votes. The Con ' stitution says “the effects of Tuesday’s 1 i election will be felt in Pennsylvania, ; j New York and Massachusetts, al- 1 though Ohio on a full vote has been Republican ever since that party was organized. All eyes are now turned eastward. Tilden or Hancock stock if* ‘up,’and that of Hendricks or Thur# man ‘down.’ A Sherman boom is also in order, but in spite of all adminis trative temptation, especially in the South, the Republicans will generally remain true to Grant. It is more than I likely that the Republican ticket will : be Grant and Blaine—leaving Sher man to win, if he can, the Senator ship of Ohio. If the Demounts of j New York cleet their State ticket [ even without its head, New York | may safely be considered democratic, i and a presidential candidate who is I accei table to the Democrats of that I State would afford the Republicans a ; very sharp and doubtful national ; struggle—more, doubtful even than that of 1576, because they cannot this time count their candidates gn after | they are defeated at the polls.” lowa, as usual, gave a large major ity for the Radicals. THE LEGISLATURE. This adjourned Wednesday. They were in’ session about one hun dred days.’ They passed some good laws and they passed some had ones, j They passed the bill incorporating I the town of Bellton, ami they passed the bill incorporating the town of Maysville. They impeached Gold smith and they didn’t impeach Ren froe. They passed the bill regulating interest, and we want the Governor I to sign it. It makes the conventional rate eight ’ per cent pm - annum, whereas before it | was twelve, ami the legal rate seven j per cent. It is thought that this low rate will have the effect of making capital seek legitimate investments. As long as the country has gone | wild over the people who walk, credit should not be withheld from the i pUwky little Widow Potts, who came to town last night, fresh and smiling, without a lump or a bruise, after a tramp of twenty-six hundred miles, covering the distance from Philadel phia to New Orleans ami back again. Os course there was a pecuniary ob-1 jeet in view, and one of considerable | size, but if we are to have tests of en- j durance in pedestrianism this is the | best kind by all odds. It was honest heel and toe walking, go as you please up ami down grade, in the open air ami on soil and cross-ties, not on saw dust. that the widow did. She ought Ito be given the. Astley belt, for she ! has done more to earn it than any of the big male loafers who are in the hippodrome, business.—Philadelphia Times. The New York Tribune is making a frantic effort to prove that Republi- J cans pay every dollar of revenue the government collects. This is absurd I enough, but nothing is too absurd and j childish for the. Republican party to I resort to in the days of its decadence. ' The Tribune will find, after a consei- 1 j entious investigation of the subject, I | that the States which went Democrat iic at the last Presidential election contribute 8158,900,780 72 to the reve nue of the government, while the Re j publican States contribute but 891,- I 904.878 <»(> to that revenue. Aeeord i ing to the Republican idea the party j which pays the most revenue ought to | rule the country. In that case the 1 Republicans should abandon the con ; test, for the Democrats should rule.— I Savannah News. Some of the papers blame Atlanta ! , with the corrupt acts of officials, re- i cently disclosed, and assert that if Milledgeville had been the capital such would not have been the case. Silly reasoning to be sure. Locality ■ of the seat of government does not make men honest or dishonest. It is avarice and opportunity that induce men to be corrupt. The men who I have had charges brought against I them flocked to Atlanta from other • places in search of the spoils of office. Where the carcass is. whether in At lanta or Milledgeville, there will the i buzzards be gathered together.—Ma- I rietta Journal. The Dahlonega Agricultural Col lege which was burned down some months since, is being slowly but I i surely rebuilt. Seventeen thousand five hundred; i dollars in cash premiums will be awarded at the North Georgia fair. GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS. Georgia, Banks County. The Grand Jurors selected, chosen and sworn for the October Term of i Banks Superior Court, 1879, do make I the following general presentments >■ We have by proper committees examined the books of the several I officers of the county, and find them neatly and correctly kept. We find I several volumes of the Georgia Re j ports in both the Clerk’s and Ordin ' ary’s office, in pamphlet form, and recommend that the Ordinary have ( them bound in a good and substantial f manner. We alyj recommend that the Ordinary furnish the Clerk’s office with a book case. We find some repairs needed on the Court House, to-wit: The northcast corner needs some repairs by new brick ami rock ; also the basement at i the east steps at the ground; also the front end of the porch and the beam | between the columns; also the gut- I taring, and some new glass, etc. We ■ recommend that the public well be put in good order. We recommend that some cheap carpeting be put in ’ side the Bar ami along the aisle. We recommend that the Ordinary be paid thirty (830) dollars for attend ing to the County business from the April term to the present term. We also recommend that the Clerk of the Superior Court be paid ten (810) dol lars for extra services. We recom mend that the Sheriff be paid three (83) dollars per day for attending upon the Court for present term. We recommend that Wesley Eng lish. Mrs. Martha Blair and Dutenia Mullins be put upon the pauper list of the county. We also recommend that Mary Alien be taken off the pauper list of the county. We recommend that the following Notaries Public of the various Dis tricts be appointed: < 371st district—lsaac W. Alexander. 1210th district—l). F. Seales. •148th district—James C. Allen. 208th district—" William A. Watson. 20.5th district—W. M. Ash. j We, the Grand Jurors, recommend it bat the public roads and bridges be put in good order, ami that they be posted and sign boards put up, as required by law’. i We have examined the Tax Receiv er's books, and find that a large num ber of tax payers have been giving in their lands at an underrate, we consider. We have furnished tin Tax' Receiver with a list of the naules of parties we have assessed, with the ! value opposite their names. We are pleased with the manuer in 1 which his honor. Judge Erwin, con -1 din ts the business of this Court. We [are also pleased with the maimer in I which the Solicitor General dischirges j the duties of his otlice. Our faithful bailiff, Mr. A. A. Turk, is entitled to the thanks of this body for his atten tion. We recommend that these present ments be published in the North Georgian. W. ('. llaulbrook, Foreman; D. 11. Messer, A. W. Henderson.

A true extract from the minutes of Banks Superior Court. October Term, 1879. R. J. Dyau. C. S. C. The present Legislature has done some wise things ami many foolish ones, but the biggest fool proposition that has been before that body was ; the resolution or bill to recommit the I capital question to the people. That question has been settled by the vote of the State by an overwhelming ma jority in favor of Atlanta, and if the vote was taken again the result would be the same. It may be that some of the paid men in the late campaign want to get the matter up again so they can sell out. for it is foolishness to talk about the people of Atlanta being responsible for the corruption about the capitol. It was the men and not the place that was corrupt.— Gritfin News. The Cincinnati Ijve stock market for the pork year, ended with August. 1879. shows a material increase over , previous years.

Spain is as good as bankrupt, since >s(he owes 82,500,009,000, and cannot pay the interest. ■ Thg band played “Hail to the Chief i at one of Hayes’ stopping places, and the local Republican paper—woe be unto it!—rcrordfed it as Hail to the thief.’ * > Black Hills people claim to have dug §342,000 worth of gold in the month of August,and it would be safe i to wager that it cost about 8084,000 to get it. It does not require an opera glass in the hands of a fair-seeing man, to ! observe a similarity between Col quitt’s administration and that of • Bullock. I The Greenback' National Conven- I tion has been called to nominate can ; didates for President and Vice-I’resi- I dent at St. Louis on the Bth of Jan- • nary next. , A call has been issued for the ex i Confederates in Philadelphia to meet and organize preparatory to taking a part in the welcome to be extended to Grant. • The twolargest single holders of . j Foiled States registered bonds are Mr. W. 11.

DjK'arlton, of the Athens Banner. nnii®b<Ts he has concluded not to s'Wwst| ll r]lf'r / but will m the future strive to enter even more fully into the spirit of jounutlism than hereto fore. Within the past three weeks three white men have been hanged in Ar kansas for muisler. This looks as if the authorities of the State meant to put down the pistol, bowie knife and shot gun. A long dry spell in the neighbor hood of* Petersburg, Va., is causing great inconvenience. The Appoma tox river is lower than it has been for years, and creeks are drying up so that the operations of the mills are greatly impeded. Prof. IV v J. Land, analytical ehem- I ist and chemist of the agricultural de partment of Georgia, came very near ■ causing his own death by itMentally taking an over dose of Wooley’s opium antidote on the 10th. The physicians succeeded in bringing him to. It is freely predicted that the ver dict in the Renfroe trial will break up the Democratic organization. How ever this may be. the Independents in the Legislature have played their hands with a degree of shrewdness and skill little less than marvellous. It is true they have been aided by an element inside the party, but that ele ment has played the part of a tool. If the organization is not broken up it will not be because the methods of the Independents have been failures. —Atlanta Constitution. IVe can think of no better nomina tion for the Democratic party in the seventh congressional district next year than Col. Hackett, of Catoosa. True, he does not want the race ; but that is so much the better. It would afford one rare instance of a nomina tion going unsought in this district. ' And then, if Hackett should be elect ed, he might by the very force of j habit do the country some good ser vice. We are for Hackett, not be ’ cause of any ill-feeling, but because he would make a good candidate.— Dalton Headlight. It costs the government from four million to eight million a year to feed and care for 30,900 roving Indians. Last year these Indians cost the coun try 54.029,280. In 1875 they cost near ly twice as much—or about 8300 apiece. This is altogether too high and congress should take steps to se cure cheaper board for these wander ing wards of the nation. Up to the current year a recently compiled table shows that we have expended on the roaming remnants of the red men ! *181,000.000. and the Indian agents are doubtless willing that we should I annually add to this aggregate a very handsome sum.
