TNovtli CSrf'ovjx’isni. 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?— Cartersville Free Press. ’ 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. Bless you, Deacon, ask us something Larder. Ben Hili is there vet. He is just as powerful a debater as Thur man, and forty limes as eloquent.— Augusta Chronicle. 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. *♦ « There are nineteen dwellings being erected on one street in Atlanta. 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. LEG A L AD V ERTISING. The following is the act regulating ’ legal advertising in this State: Section 1. Be it enacted by the Gen eral Assembly of the State of Georgia and it is hereby enacted by authority of the, same, That from and after the passage of this act the rates to be al-I lowed to publishers for publishing the legal advertisements in this State shall be as follows: For each one hupdred words, seventy-five cents for each in sertion for the first four insertions; for each subsequent insertion the sum of thirty-five cents per hundred words. In all cases fractional parts shall be ; charged for at the same rates, and it' shall not be lawful for any ordinary, I sheriff, coroner, clerk, marshal or other officer to receive or collect from ■ parties, plaintiff or defendant, other or greater rates than herein set forth.

Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That anv or dinary, sheriff, coroner, clerk, marshal or other officer who shall receive, col-1 lect or demand other and greater fees I than are provided in the first section i of this act, shallahc deemed guiltv of extortion, and upon conviction thereof : shall be punished as prescribed in sec tion 4.110 of the revised code. Section 3. Be it further enacted by I the authority aforesaid. That if the ordinary, sheriff or other officer is un able to procure the advertisements at the rates herein prescribed in the I newspapers published in the county, (lien he shall be and is hereby author-1 i/.ed to have said advertisements pub- . lished in any newspaper in this State ! having the largest general and regular I circulation in the county, provided said rates are agreed upon. Provided fur ther. il eontraets cannot be made with tiewspapers at the rales aforesaid, then the sheriff, ordinary or other advertis ing officers shall post their advertise ments at the court house, in a public [dace, in each militia district in the count ', for the length of time required by law for advertising in newspapers. Sect ion 4. Be it further eimeted by the authority aforesaid, That no or-’ di nary, sherifi, coroner, clerk, marshal 1 or other officer, shall demand or retain*! any [art of the said rates prescribed in the first section of this act, bv wav j of commissions, either directly or in- 1 directly; ami to demand any part of said rates as commissions, directly or indirectly, shall be held and dcqmcd extortion, and upon conviction there of. shall be punished as prescribed in section 4'!lo of the code of 1873; pro vided, that this act shall not apply to any contracts already made by muni cipal officers, nor shall any such offi cers lie held liable to penalties herein provided on account of any such con tract , but the same shall be controlled ■by the law as it now is. 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 Record. 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.” General Gartrell’s visit to our city ; the [last week, professionally, has had a tendency to develope quite a sentiment in his behalf, as a future 1 governor.—Dalton Enterprise.

The Louisiana Radical Convention adopted a long string of resolutions, I and among them one to the etleet that Grant was their choice for President in 18S0. The persimmon crop of North Georgia is unusually line, and some of the knowing ones predict on ac ! count of it that a long, cold, stormy winter is ahead. I i The Mtmiphis Avalanche proposes that the old town be entirely depopu lated and destroyed, and that a new Memphis lie built at a plrn e known | as Bartlett, eleven miles distant.

The largest church in the United States is the First African Baptist church, of Bi hmond. Va. ! has 3.- 300 members. On <>n,, Smidiv its pastor baptised 59k [>. rsons. and ad- I ded nearly 900 to the church. j The first Baptist Church of Texas I was organized in l<s:;f>. Now there j are in the State 120.0U0 Baptist, of , whom 7(».0'.;i) are whiles and 50.0 W negroes. The Baptists have nine : schools of the higher class under their | control. General Toombs is reported as hav ing said that it was a heavy blow on Renfroe when seventeen Senators ; would not believe him when he de clared that lie had appropritUod IWe>i ty-two thousand dollars of State mon ey to his own use. The building trade in New York, which last year showed a decided ad vance over every year since 1873. lias still further improved during the past nine months, ami all th. indications are that the increase will be even greater next year.

Speaker Randall states that the , committee charged with the revision ' of the rules of the House of Repre sentatives have completed their task, and have reduced the number of the 'rules from one hundred and sixtv-six to tifi v, and simplified them. Latest information from the Utes is that they are all desirous of peace. Re]>orts of the dejiredations of the hostiles have been greatly exagge : rated, and the women and children ■are all safe, but will not be given up I until peace has been arranged. The President after casting his lit tle vote in Ohio, as silently as a snow flake, and modestly as a maiden voter tendering his first ballot, is now on I his way to Washington, wb.ere he will 1 ; at once go into training and get up a goodstalw art backbone for the wit t< r. , Congressman Blackburn, of Ken _ tu.'ky, who lias favored Senator Thur , man's presidential a-yir Hi ns. thinks ! the Ohio election has tfieetually di-- .• -posed of the Senator's chanci >. and t Mr. Blaekbr.ru says he is now for Mr. I Tilden if he can carry New York. , which he thinks he can. It is stated that there is not a Jew ‘ store in the town of Covitigton, which 1 is a poor showing for that town as a ' ['lace for business. A town without Jews is almost as no town at all.— \\ here there is trade and mouev there 1 will also be Jews. This is the history I of the world.-Hawkinsville Dispatch '■ Sam Small, of Atlanta, in connec- I tion with Prof. Charlie Howard, will soon begin a trip over the State, giv ing matinees in all the towns and ci ties tor the benefit ot Hood's orphans. * This action on the part of these gen t tiemen should be commended, and ■ . we trust the exhibitions will be liber ally patronized throughout the State. M HERE IS Tilt: GAIN ! The Democratic ptirty elected their president in 187 G without the aid of either California. Maine, Colorado, 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. The Du Pont Okcfenokean and Wav Cross Observer, of the 11 th. remarks of the Atlanta ami < harlottc Air-- Line Railroad : "Well rn-iv we say it is the best: man n ed c id in the Union, for so it j is pronounced by every one who I 'ravels over it.

Col. i Foreacre's ereat love for old Georgia. ' and especially At lanta. caused him to ' refuse this most distinguished honor."
