BELLTON, GA., OCTOBER 2.3, 1879.

The North Georgia fair, we learn,
'. ill continue one week longer. The
Mystic Owl pageant and ball lias been
postponed until Friday night, on ac
count of the weather.
As a signer of minority reports,
Mr. Redwine of Hall county deserves
the champion belt. We believe, and
we have no motive to do the gentle
man an injustice, that he has signed /
a minority report to every investiga
ling committee he lias been on during
the session.— Atlanta Phonograph.
The “immortal Seventeen,” of the 1
Georgia Senate, constitute a melan
choly looking set. The boys know
they have done wrong and tliev are
sorry for it. Renfroe said he, did take
the interest on the State’s funds and
the “immortal seventeen” said he was
not guilty. How do you fix that?—

’ When Thurman leaves the. Senate,
who will the Democrats put up ;
against Edmunds and Conkling and
Blaine in debate? That is one of the
serious questions growing out of the
Ohio election. Cincinnati Gazette.

Col. A. K. Childs and Capl. .Tas.
M. Edwards were re-elected President
and Superintendent of the North
Eastern by the new Board of Dir ec- :
tors last Wednesday. This is a fit
ting tribute to their past success.
( apt. Edwards, who has personal ;
supervision of the Road, and of all
its interests, is indefatigable in his t
attention and exceptional in his abil- i
ity. He is the life and success of the
Road, and manages it, with rcmarka- i
Ide success.—Athens Chronicle.
The Montezuma Weekly is deci
dedly of the opinion t hat the interests
ol any paper and of the town in which
it is published are, mutual. It reasons (
very wisely that poor papers cannot
live in flourishing towns, neither do
poor towns support flourishing papers.
In other words, papers and the towns
In which they are published are but
relleetions. the one of the other. A’r</o.
when you see a fine paper, you may
know that the town in which it is pub
lished is flourishing.
A correspondent of the Elberton i
Gazette has this to say concerning
Banks county:
“Banks is a splendid place the
lower part especially. The lands are ■
strong, productive and well watered;
while the broad dense forests remind
one of the Western Wilds. Hospi
tality, intelligence and energy mark
the people. The young ladies are
charming, and distinguished for their
true worth. But I must not tell von
all their good traits, ’(would take too
much space.”

A howl of universal condemnation
rises up from all parts of the State on
account of the acquittal of Treasurer
Renfroe. It is not our province to
act as persecutor of Mr. Renfroe, but
like thousands of other honest Geor- .
glans. we believe that he was guilt' :
of wrong doing, and. should have been 1
punished as he desert’ed. The peo-'
]de everywhere are dissatisfied with
the verdict and those who voted for
his acquittal may live, to regret that
they have outraged the feelings of’an j
honest constituency. -Phonograph.
The Louisiana Radical Convention :
met in New Orleans, last Monday. it :
was called to order by the Chairman
of the Central Committee, who stated
that the Republican was the only par-;
ty which could save the State, and it
was necessary that the party pm a
ticket in the field composed of high
toned and irreproachable gentlemen, i
The Radical party is dead in Louisi
ana, and if it was not. they would
have to go outside of the party to find'
the bigh-t<med and irreproachable gen
tlemen.
—
We are somewhat astonished to
learn that an impression has gotten
abroad that Senator Candler voted
against the impeachment of Treasurer
Renfroe. We are glad to be able to!
correct this idea, which does Senator
Candler grave injustice. He voted ■<>
convict both the Comptrolh r and the
Treasurer, and also in favor of the
resolutions requiring the Governor to
bring suit on the Treasurer's bond for
all the interest he has received. We
have the official vote, and would pub
lish it but fora lack of space. We
hope this statement will set the Sena
tor right.—Gainesville Eagle.

THE OHIO ELECTION.
The Louisville Courier-Journal,
commenting on the result of the Ohio
election, for which it was not alto
gether unprepared, having predicted
Democratic defeat, says:
“This result ought to satisfy Demo- !
crats of the folly of financial equivo-’
cation. It shows conclusively that I
the ‘Ohio idea,’ so-called, is, and has
always been, a delusion and a snare.l
Ewing was its strongest expression:
Thurman its most respectable advo
cate. Both are retired. One is beat-'
on for Governor, and the other loses
his seat in the Senate. It is too bad
that such able and serviceable men
should be sacrificed to stich a blunder, i
“Democrats have now nothing but i
New York to look to. If we lose
New York, little less than a miracle
will save us. We may as well take
matters as they are and consider them 1
from a practical standpoint. We can-:
not afford to deceive ourselves. The !
worst fears of the Courier-Journal
have come to pass.
“Tn the lights of this great reverse
wild and visionary Democrats must, 1
see the, error of their ways and make
an effort to amend their folly. Their
hopes are scattered. Their counsels !
have come to nought. They , should
go to the real- and fall in line, ready
to follow and obey. All is by no
means lost. But all will be lost if'!
Democrats cannot he brought, to a
sense of their danger, and a compre
hension ami application of the strict
est rules of party discipline.”
We ur some well-defined rumors
of a movement to make Grant the 1
nominee of the South. The move-I
incut, it is said, is not a political one. '
Its object is, by nominating Grant
and offering him support in the as-'
sumption of extraordinary powers, to ■
utterly break down all the barriers of
sectionalism and leave no ro6m for'
prejudice and slander. In other words,
there are those at the South, who. |
hopeless of any contest based on eon- I
stitutional grounds, are ready and i
anxious to forestall and reap the po
litical results of the centralism toward
which republicanism is hurrying the
country ; and it may be said that there
is more hope than of hopelessness in
the idea. One thing is certain : what
ever happens or fails to happen, the
business and commercial interests of j
the South are determined to have
peace.—Atlanta Constitution.

The 'Washington Star thinks it is
now within the possibilities that the j
Republicans may be able to recapture j
the Senate in 1881. Only five Senato
rial changes are required to mike a|
lie. Thurman will be sucee.cde Iby a
Republican, but there will be a stand-'
1 off with the Democratic Senator who j
will be chosen to succeed Senator'
Bruce, '['he gains which the Repub
licans hope to make are in the. sue- j
l essors to Senators Kernan of New
York. Eaton of Connecticut, McDon
ald of Indiana, Randolph of New Jer
sey. and Wallace of Pennsylvania.
If they make gains in all these cases .
the Senate will be equally divided. '
mid for the Democrats to have a ma- '
jority Kellogg would have to be
ousted. Davis of Illinois, is not in-I
eluded in the calculation, because it is
not known where he stands, when the
'wo parties are so closely divided.
Judge Settle, of North Carolina, ,
i-.'ives the following tts the exact "ords
of Gem Grant to him upon the ques
i tion of being a candidate at the last !
Republican National Convention:
; "I would not have you think of doing I
so. For sixteen years 1 have been
! under a strain which 1 do not see how
I I, or any other man, could endure,:
- and I am determined at the end of my
1 term to have some rest and recrea
tion. I'he Judge thinks now, how
ever, that Grant has Lad his rest and
i recreation, that Jhe reasons which
might have existed against his candi
dature no lonmn exist, and that the
ground swell in his favor is irresisti-1
hie. It is also.reportcd that the Judge
is of the opinion that his own name
i would be (.he best that could be se
lected tor the second place on the
• ■rant ticket in IS8i).
The heads of the weather bureau
have been much puzzled by the recent ’
hot spell. Such a general and pro
longed siege of hot weather in Octo
ber has not been known since IS 17. '
The scientists of the Smithsonian and
the weather prophets of the "old
probabilities" bureau have, been dis
cussing the matter and have arrived
at various opinions as to the cause
and eject of the siege. Some of them
believe that the oeculation of Venus
to-day had more or less effect on the
elements. AH agree [nitty nearly,
however, in the belief that the coming
winter will lie a severe one. Not that
Jt will be particularly cold, but more
boisterous and disagreeable than usu
al.—-Courier-Journal.

tract , but the same shall be controlled

Section 5 reji' als conflicting laws.
Your correspondent reminded Sena
. tor Hill that the Republican and Inde
i pendent papers have been persistently
. claiming that Georgia in the next elec
tion will be carried by the independ
; cuts. He replied: "Nothing is further
j from the truth. The Democratic party
i is stronger in < ieorgia now than it ever
: was before. Several months ago there
. was danger of an opposition move
ment, and a formidable one, too, to
the Democracy. The corruptions of
i the ring of Democratic officials at the
State capital had produced great dis
satisfaction, and there was only one
course left fertile party—-that was to
expose and punish those officials and
I [Hedge the people Inmost government.
That course was pursued by the Legis
, lature—ami it is the best Legislature
■ I ever saw—and the party is again
I united and solid. There will not be
, enough of the independents to offer
any opposition to the Democrats next
year. We will carry the State by over
the usual majority."- Philadelphia

Dr. I. J. M. Goss has a letter in the
Georgia Advocate, of the 15th inst..
from which we extract the following:
' “Leaving Marietta. I passed through
Atlanta and along the Air Line Rail
road to Belltou.at which place I call
'ed to spend the Sabbath. 1 was met
, at the depot by the little daughter of
my old friend. Dr. Jos. B. Dillard, a
staunch old Methodist, who requested
me to remain and preach for them on
Sabbath, which I did. Sabbmh morn
ing I met a good congregation for the
size of the place. Io whom I preached
at eleven and at night, and lectured
to the Sabbath-school at four in the
evening. Dr. Dillard and his family
, are anxious to build un a g<«>d church
at Ik lltoii. They have now a good
membership to start with, ami Dr.
Dillard and Brother Stunner both be
ing good workers. I hey doubtless will
build up the church.”

lowa or Ohio.
With New York, Indiana and the
Smith they can ch et him in 18-0.
Badly as the elections of 1879 have
so far turned out for the Democracy,
not a solitary State, which was Dem
ocratic three years ago, has turned
against us, while we have gained
South Carolina, which we did not
claim in 187 G. and have made the two ,
States of Louisava ami Florida, which
we carried that year but were not'
allowed to hold. sure.
And so far as the first five States
mentioned arc concerned, the Repub
licans have not even held their own.
Maine, California and Ohio, which ■
they carried by majorities in 1876.
they only have by pluralities now.
Now where is the gain ? Which of
the two parties, in view of all the
facts in the case, has the right to feel
encouraged this year ? Which is en
titled to indulge in expressions of
dolorous sympathy with reference to
the other?—Washington Post.

Foreacre has made more first-class 1
roads out of second-class roads than
any man in the Union. The Captain I
is thoroughly posted, and was offered J
the governor-generalship of all tin- I
railroads in Switzerland, with the I
privilege of naming his salary. Col. i
Foreacre's ereat love for old Georgia. '

refuse this most distinguished honor."
