JXovtli €> IBELLTON, GA., OCTOBER 30. 187!i. The yellow fever is about ended at Memphis, and the refugees are now returning. The sanitary committee are thoroughly ventilating and fumi gating all the houses in the city. —_— . The L’tes are reported as anxious for pence, and the terms of surrender have been forwarded to Washington. A fight between Indians and ranch men is reported to have occurred at the old battle ground on Milk creek, but no particulars are given. The surviving members of the war of 1812, met in Boston, on the 10th Instant, and formally dissolved the organization. All of the veterans are above eighty years of age. and owing to their infirmities, feel that they will be unable to assemble again. Last Monday, we learn from the Atlanta Constitution, Nat Anderson shot and instantly killed a colored man named Ed Brown. The verdict of the coroner’s jury was that the killing was unjustifiable. Anderson went to police headquarters and gave himself up. Prof. Bernard Mallon, recently t'he superintendent of the public, schools of Atlanta, died at Huntsville, Texas, on the 2lst lust. lie bad been in that State but four or five weeks. Prof. Mallon did more to build up the pub lic system of Atlanta Ilian any other man, either living or dead. The election in New York takes ; place next Tuesday, and those who ! have implicit faith in Mr. Tilden’s [ skill and judgment, bold that Gov. Robinson will be re-elected in spite of the Kelly bolt and the Ohio wave. We trust Uncle Samuel will whip the fight, but we fear he will get licked. Judge Iloadlcy, who is one of the' most prominent. Democrats in Ohio, | has confided to a reporter his private opinion that Tilden will be nominated by the Democrats in 1880, whether I Robinson is elected or not; and. if the latter should happen to win, he be lieves he will be nominated by accla mation. The canvas of the vote in Ohio for members of the General Assembly, cast October 14th, shows that the Republicans elected sixty-nine and the Democrats forty-live, members of the Housei The Republicans elected twenty-two and the Democrats fifteen members of the Semite. Republican majority on joint ballot is thirty-one. Surprising as it may seem, the agri cultural products of one year amount to nearly ns much in value as the pro ducts of all our mines since. 1849. The estimated yield of the mines during twenty-seven years, 1849-75, was 81,- (>17,(1(10,000. In 1878 the total value of the agricultural production of lead ing staples was 1,591.000,000. - - . - The San Francisco mint is now en gaged in coining small gold pieces to supply the demand. The Philadelphia mint is at work principally on the silver dollar. It is expected, however, that the Treasury will be able to pur chase sufficient silver for delivery at San Francisco to enable that mint to relieve Philadelphia of the dollar coinage. - ♦ - The Washington Post says the Democratic candidates were defeated in Ohio by a systematically organized and methodically worked system of fraudulent voting. At the lowest cal culation thirty thousand illegal votes were cast, and as far as a hasty exam ination has been had, nine out of every ten of them were cast for the Republican candidates. ■■ »■■ ► ' -—■ The North Carolina soldiers of both armies in the civil war held a reunion at Salisbury, North Carolina, last Thursday. The town was decorated with tlags, and Gov. Jarvis, Senator Vance ami others made spec, hes fa voring good will between all the sec tions of the country. The crowd par took of a barbecue dinner, and at night there was a grand display of tireworks. To those who in their anger at the injustice done the south by newspa pers of both political parties at the North, calculate the chance for good in withdrawing from the national con test. we would say that the loss of Ohio is by no means the loss of the cause, and that the wrong done us by those few Democratic editors who at tribute their defeat to the conduct of the South, should not be visited upon the body of the party. The Northern Democracy stand by the rights of the South manfully. They are fighting our battles upon their own soil, and their best men are sacrificing their political fortunes in our behalf. To desert them in such an hour would be the act of a craven.—Mobile Register. « PERIL OF THE REPUBLIC. The Cleveland Plaindealer has an elaborate and well considered article on “The Peril of the Republic.” Its concluding paragraph is as follows: “The rights of States are essential to the liberties of the people; and for them the Democracy contends. A centralized government is the end of freedom and the foundation of tyran ny; and a centralized government is the goal of the Republican party and its allies, the moneyed aristocracy and the monopolies. 'The greater the diffusion of power the nearer the ap- I preach to popular government, for I the. solution of which problem this ( Union was established. The liberties of the individual arc only preserved Iby the diffusion of power. Tyranny feeds on centralized power, republic. 1 * vanish before it. The Democratic party battles for the preservation of this republic through the mainten ance of the rights which the constitu tion reserves to States, and those rights—and those rights only—which arc compatible with, aye, bound up in civil liberty. The Democratic par ty alone is the loyal parly, loyal to the republic of the fathers, a govern ment of the people, for the people and by the people. The Republican party is the champion of a ‘strong’ government, a centralized govern- I incut which is the corner stone of a I throne.” There is one reason for advertising which business men rarely consider— | its general effect on the prosperity of I their own place. The newspaper goes [Out into the world from week to week as the representative from its village, j and men judge of the village more by ' the newspaper than anything else. If this is newsy’ and able, and many lo cal firms are represented in its adver tising columns, they assume at once, and generally correctly, that it comes | from a live village—a good village to i live and trade in—and thus they are i drawn thither. The effect is not slight , I and the suggestion is one that deserves . ■ the consideration of every tradesman, J and they should endeavor, in every I way to increase the circulation ami business of such a paper, as the more people they can gel to read it, the more their own advertisement is read, and they benefited thereby. In his speech at New York, Tues day night, Secretary Evarts threaten- ■ ed that unless the South shall obey KepultHvtin wishes, the Republican party will place the government, in the hands of Grant as the man most competent to the task of enforcing the Republican wish. Os course, says the Bridgeport Farmer, Mr. Evarts did not thus plainly threaten the extinc tion of the republic, but such was his unmistakable meaning. When such i a threat comes in a public meeting .from the month of a leading member of the cabinet, who can reasonably call the person that declares the existence of the republic endangered by the present policy of the Republi can party, an ‘alarmist ?’ We commend the following recent utterance of Senator Lamar to those radical organs which have been so anxious to hear from him : “Truth, in the long process of time, will pre vail, and our countrymen of tie North will find out at last, and at no distant day, that the great danger of this country is not from southern rnllian ism or antebellum nullification or southern secession and state rights, i but is from Mr. Secretary Sherman and his stalwart party, who are adopt ing every measure, just or unjust, light or wrong, to fasten on this broad . and promising land the shackles of a dominion that shall be imperialism in all but the name.”—Boston Globe. The warlike tone of the foreign news continues, and the prophets are promising a triple alliance between Germany. Austria and England as against another trio—Russia. Italy and France. The monstrous propor tions which European armament are assuming can be inferred from the offi cial statement of the Hungarian Gov ernment that when the military sys i terns of Europe are completed Italy ; will have over 2.009.0(10 soldiers; ■ France, which lias 1,815.000 now. will I have 2.723,000; Russia has 2,389,000 already, and Austro-Hungary 1,194,- ; 000. The New York Tribune suggests various way s in which the South could put mi end to the "sectional animosi ty” of Northern Republicanism. The j suggestions are superfluous. Every • one who has eyes to see and ears to hear, knows that only by handing over a few States to the Republican party can that "sectional animosity" i be obliterated. It is not tear of South ern influence in public affairs, but an apprehension of the loss of suprema cy al Washington which actuates the Republican war upon the South. THE RATE OF INTEREST. The following act. restricting and regulating the rate of interest in this State, was passed by the Legislature, and the Governor apj roved it: Section 1. The General Assembly do enact, that from and after the passage of this act, it shall not be lawful for any person, company or corporation to reserve, charge or take for any loan <>x advance of money or forbear-; ancq to enforce the collection of any sum of money, any rate of interest i greater than eight per centum, either directly or indirectly byway of com mission for advances, discount, ex change or by any contract or contriv ance or device whatever. Section 2. Be it further enacted, that , any person, company or corporation, violating the provisions of tlx- fore going section of this act, shall forfeit the investment, the excess of jiterest so charged or taken or contracted to be reserved, charged or taken. Section 3. Be it furl her enacted, that the legal rate of interest shall remain seven per centum per annum, w here the rate per cent is not named in the contract, and any higher rate must bo specified in writing; but in no event to exceed eight per cent per mnum. Section 4. Be it further enaetdl, that in all suits hereafter brought inany of the courts of this State upon itiy ac count, note, bill, draft or otlj-r evi dence of indebtedness, bearirjg date after the passage of this act, therein a greater rate of interest is ((aimed than seven, per cent., it shall be in cumbent on the plaintiff in sich suit or action to show affirmatively by proof that no greater or higlpr rate of interest than that speciiieijin the contract so sued upon has been taken, received, retained, or in any yay or manner secured so as to be hereafter had or taken by any device whatever. Section 5. Be it further eiiactad. that all laws and parts of laws in (onllict with this act be and the sa|ie arc hereby repealed. We expect to live to sec the day when New England will cufse the. Union. Then we are going to love it a little bit. A New England peaii to the Union is simply "the bugle blast of the. robber when the plunder is nigh.”—Sparta Ishmaelite. Do you not remember the time (it was not long ago) when New England did curse the Union—denouncing the constitution of the United States as "a league with death and a coyenant with hell.” and saluting the Federal i tlag with the exclamation “tear down the Haunting lie?” The disloyalty of New England then was attributable ■ to the fact that she could not rule the as arbitrarily as she plow does.—Atlanta Dispatch. ♦- 4- -• Mr. Hill’s letter is not likely just ! at this time to accomplish any politi cal good. It may even, as the New 5 oik Herald suggests, afford political capital for our enemies. The unpalat able truths which he utters may be held up by radical stump speakers as ■ evidence of the unrepentant spirit of the Southern people and as a justitica- l lion of stalwart ism. Nevertheless, it, '1 will be received bv all fair-minded men, even at. tin 1 North, as a calm, dignified ami powerful refutation of stereotyped radical slanders, false hoods. and a most triumphant and i overwhelming vindication of the solid South.—Savannah News. The Nashville American, in speak ing of Senator Bay ard’s i andid:u v for the Presidency, says: "He both in herits and has learned.and has been surrounded by all that can make a man learn, statesmanship, independ ence. purity and nobility of character. Many men prefer other candidates, and many, for reasons of various kinds, oppose Mr. Bayard, but it can fairly be said of him that he has tlx- pro found respect, which virtue wins of all men, and the deep gratitude of the South and of the friends of free gov ernment for his great services.” Those of our brave Confederate boys, who lost an arm or leg in the service of the South, are entitled to a round sum with which to supply themselves with an artificial limb. The act was among other good laws passed by the last Legislature. Up to date seventy-nine have come for ward, made the necessary proof, and received their pension II is estimated that at least fifteen hundred in Geor gia are entitled to the benefit of the law.—Atlanta Dispatch. The Indian Agent at Red Cloud re ports to the interior department that the Sioux, under his charge, tire ex ceedingly anxious to enlist and ‘assist the great father’ in the war against the I tes. The ill-feeling between the I tes and the Sioux dates back so many years as to have become tradi tional. — ► < 4 The frosts have been verv general. NEWS ITEMS. Snow fell at several points North, last Friday night. An Atlanta lady exhibited a pair of fine boots of her own make at the fair. The Greenback vote in Ohio last election was less than 10,000, against 885000 last year. Fifty-three cotton mills in operation in North ( arolina consumed last year 38.484 bales of cot ton. The exact majority for Foster, the Republican nominee for Governor of Ohio, is declared officially to be 17 - 129. The New York Herald gives a half column to the Grant boom in the West and only five lines to the Hayes boom. Mr. .Jefferson Davis is said to be growing blind ; and his wife, since the death of their son. has become an in valid. The bale of cotton donated for the benefit of the orphans of General Hood realized, in Houston. Texas. 81 .in it 1. The new constitution of Louisiana that the Legislature, and not the people, shall choose presidential electors. The 45th annual session of the board of physicians of the State of Georgia will be held in Milledgeville, begin |ning on the Ist of December. A Bayard boom is plainly in the air. The Democrats in Philadelphia hire arranging to give him a reception on his return from Europe. The most far-seeing man in the country’ was Rutherford B. Hayes, when he declared against a second term for himself. —Brooklyn Eagle. Last Saturday afternoon. Ed. Wor sham. a young man of Atlanta, com mitted suicide by taking forty grains of morphine. He died during the night. The State fair opened out in full blast at Macon, last Monday. It is estimated that 20,000 visitors are in the city. The fair will prove a grand success. The Marietta and North Georgia railroad gets its two hundred and fifty convicts for the term of three years. This secures the building of the rone to Murphy, N. C*. lion. J. E. Cobb, circuit judge in Alabama, has mitered suit against the Tuskegee railroad for 840,000 dam ages. He had his foot badly mashed bv a hand ear of the road. The deepest place in the Mississippi from its source to its mouth, is said t< 1 be a short distance front the shore op j nosite Esplanade street, New Orleans The water is 208 feet deep. Jordan Sheats. who was to have been hung last Friday , in Danielsville, for the murder of Mr. Ledbetter, has been respited by Gov. Colquitt, until Friday, November 14th. The Monroe Female College build ing was burned down on Friday night last. The loss is heavy. Furniture saved. liismam e about s.1,(100. -pj le exercises will go on without interrup tion. Postmaster-General Ker has issued instructions to the postmasters at New York city. Louisville and New Orleans to refuse hereafter to rent boxes in their offices to lottery com panies or lottery agents. The latest accounts told of heavy fighting between the British troops and Afghans, and altogether the pros pect of the British subjugation of Afghanistan did not look as promising as it did a short time ago. I’he great East River bridge enter prise, to connect New J’ork and Brooklyn, has already cost 8H.07.".,- 859, and the trustees want <1,701 >.(i(.io more to complete it. which they think they can do in eighteen months. Midsummer in October has promo ted the growth of second crops of va rious kinds of fruit. In Maryland .strawberries and raspberries have been picked and sent to market, and i cherry trees have borne fruit a second time. Senator Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, has written a letter to a friend in Washington, in which he says that the present aspect of polities appears to him to suggest the nomi nation of Bayard and McDonald as the Democratic ticket for 1880. Governor-elect Charles Foster, of Ohio, has declared himself in favor of John Sherman for the Presidency. But nevertheless and notwithstanding the Republican victory in Ohio, we think that the .Sherman ‘boom’ is de clining and that of Grant swelling. THE GENUINE STEWART.
