IWovtli Georgian. BELLTON, GA., DECEMBER 4, 1879. Two hundred and fifty colored omi jrrantH from North Carolina, reached Washington, last Tuesday, on their way to Indiana. Fifty of them were furnished with through tickets, and the national emigrant aid society is endeavoring to raise funds to pay for the transportation of the remainder to their destination. • - * .< Congress convened last Monday, ' but no business was transacted. Both houses listened to the reading of the President’s message, and then ad journed. The number of absentees was larger than usual, and it will be several days before any important business is entered upon. We will keep our readers posted. —f, No, Mr. Sherman, this congress will not repeal the legal tender clause nor authorize you to destroy the green backs. And the further yon go in that road at the, bidding of your Wall street masters, the fainter and feebler will become your boom among Ibe men who do a large majority of the voting.—Washington Post. • ■-*- ♦ •< Complete returns of the New York election are in at last, and by them it is shown that Hoskins’ majority over Potter is 287. The board of canvassers meet on the 12th ultimo, to count the returnsand declare the result, and it is reported that sufficient irregulari ties have been discovered to cause Potter, democrat, to be pronounced legally elected. There is ail old colored man by the name of Thos. Johnson living in our ! city, who is eighty years old, and has 1 never drank a drop of liquor of any 1 kind, took a chew of tobacco, or sworn an oath, and was never tSck but once in his life. He was for a number of years on board of a man of war. lie 1 is strictly honest and never told a 1 falsehood.—Athens Banner. 1 - ( Hayes agrees with Lawyer McCrary ( of Tow a that the army isn’t big enough. | The glittering gentlemen in uniforms , who ornament Washington society— | especially those of them who have no j men to command and nothing to do— , are of the same opinion.

P 'Winter. , A special to the Savannah News says a published interview with Sena tor Gordon lias attracted a good deal . of attention, lie says strongly that the proper course for the Southern members ot Congress is to refuse to be drawn into any sectional debate of ( any kind, because they are always, misrepresented in the North, and hostility to the South in that section has spread. This declaration receives the support of all thinking members from the South. It is now pretty . firmly established that every effort will be made to prevent sectional debates. Congressman Felton, say s the North. 1 Georgia Citizen, has an amount of; i consummate cunning about him that h is truly refreshing in these crooked | political times. The whole drift of : his recent letter is calculated, and was doubtless so intended by him for sin ister motives, to bring the National 1 Democracy into all possible disrepute • > and benefit the Republican party ; and I i yet. in order that he may gull enough gullible Democrats in this district in ; 1880 to insure I.is re-election (he is , all right with the other side!, he be gins that, letter by declaring that he < is “a Jeffersonian Democrat.” Judge W. F. Bowers will commence the publication of a new paper at ' Bowersville at an early date. THE NINTH DISTRICT. During the session of the North Georgia Conference in Augusta, a re porter of the Chronicle interviewed lion. 11. P. Bell, and succeeded in ' extracting the following: Reporter—What is the state of pol itics in the ninth district at present ? Mr. Bell—There is no particular excitement nor unusual interest in polities in the ninth, at present. Reporter—What is the feeling there with regard to Mr. Speer's course in congress. Mr. Bell—The only expression of the public feeling or sentiment I have heard in reference to Mr Speer’s course in con cress is one of surprise that he should so promptly enter the democratic, caucuses, participate in nominations, and support the nomi nees in the organization of the house, after making the race on the single idea of opposition of caucuses and con ventions, and indulging so freely in their ridicule and denunciation. The people of the nibth find it difficult to understand how it is that a democratic caucus is such a terribly bad thing in Georgia, and at the same time so em inently proper in Washington. This is especially puzzling to the republi cans, whose support he obtained for the reason thaj, he was a disorganizer. Reporter—What, in your opinion, was the cause of Mr. Speer’s election last year ? Mr. Bi ll Mr. Speer’s election was the result of an alliance with the re publicans of the district, who gave him a solid support. The republicans were never more thoroughly organ ized in the ninth than in the last con gressional race, and that party is much stronger in that district than is gen ■■>■- ally supposed. Col. Billups labored under the disadvantage of being per sonally unknown in a considerable portion of the district. The pertinacity with which some aspirants have ma nipulated minorities in some of the nominating conventions of the district to defeat the people’s choice and se cure their own nomination as com promise candidates under the two thirds rule, has unquestionably de moralized conventions. Colonel Bil lups is not among the number. There is no purer nor better man in Georgia than he, but this demoralization lost us many votes in the last race, and this evil the people of the district are determined to correct. They intend to maintain democratic principles and preserve the democratic party. Reporter—ls Mr. Speer runs again will he be elected? Mr. Bell—Of course no one can tell who will be elected in the next race. In my opinion it will depend upon whether the people’s wish finds ex pression in the selection of the demo cratic candidate. Reporter—Can Mr. Speer be defeat ed if a strong man is nominated? Mr. Bell—ls a strong man who is the choice of the people, should be fairly nominated, I hav.e not the slightest doubt of his election and Mr. Speer's defeat. Reporter—What do you think of the workings of the two-thirds rule? Mr. Bell—The two-thirds rule is wrong in principle and unwise in policy. It was originally adopted in the national democratic convention to protect the south against the nomina tion of a presidential candidate •■un sound on the slavery question” The reason of the rule ceased with the institution of slavery, and the rule ought to cease. Instead ot' securing unanimity in selecting candidates it is used to defeat the strongest one, and necessitate the nomination of a candi date unacceptable to the people. I‘res idents. governors, senators and repre sentatives are elected, laws are en acted and constitutions ordained by majorities: and certainly the nomina tion of candidates is not more impor tant. In my judgment, the democracy of Georgia will abrogate this mischiev ous rule on the first opportunity. Reporter—l’lease give the Chroni cle a general view of politics in your section of the state ? Mr. Bell—l know of nothing that distinguishes politics in the ninth from politics in other districts and sections of the state. There are two parties in that district—the democratic party, and the republicans in alliance in the last race with the faction led by Mr. Speer. 1 have no means of knowing whether this alliance is temporary or permanent. My opinion is that the ninth district is thoroughly democrat ic, and that the people, warned by the results of division and treachery in New York, in the recent election, will reform whatever evils mav exist in the democratic organization, and neither desert, nor betray the party. I do not bv anv means despair of suc cess in J 880. ‘ The negroes in Georgia own 85.- 182,898 in property —a gain of 857,523 over last year. There are four ne groes in the State worth over 810,UVV, NEWS ITEMS. i The cotton trade in North Lan -1 cashire is improving. The latest estimate of Mr. Tilden’s ' wealth puts it at 820,000,000. Cincinnati is talked of as the place to hold the next National Democratic ■ ( Convention. We are glad to learn that Hon. A. G. McCurry will soon be able to r - ! same editorial labors on the Hartwell 1 Sun. The Argus says Mr. W. L. Johnson , is pushing the work on the Gaines ville and Dahlonega railroad right ; along. The Daily Banner boasts that I Athens has the best fire department in the South. , There are one hundred and fnrty . eight narrow gauge railroads in the , United States, with a length of 4,178 , miles. 1 Prof. Lallatte, late president of the j Gainesville College, will remain in 1 i Gainesville, and establish another ’ school. The duty of Congress this winter is . sound legislation; unless the signsarc false, the business will be President making. A daughter of John P. Duncan, of Forsyth county, picked, in three-1 1 fourths of a day this fall, 218 pounds of cotton. A movement is progressing among the school children of Atlanta to erect a monument to the late Professor Mallon. It is stated that the late Rev. Lovick Pierce preached eleven thousand ser mons in the course of his long and useful life. Congress convenes with a net Dem-I ocratie majority of eight in the Senate i and seven in the House. This will not be materially changed until March 1881. On Thanksgiving day students of the North Georgia Agricultural Col lege tendered special thanks to Hon. W. P. Price for Ins labors for that institution. It is stated that a chunk of pure ; gold weighing four and a half pounds was found at the Coosa creek mines, i iu Union county, near Blairsville, a j few days ago. A day or two since a workman on 1 a railroad bridge over Tar river. North | Carolina, fell one hundred feet head i foremost into the water, and was but i i little injured. The man who stole the President's j message ought, to be punished severe-I ly. Indeed it would not be too much to compel the poor wretch to read the | document through. J. B.

The people of Indiana are indignant at the Republican managers for exo dusting so many negroes into their State. It is the blackest political out rage which has been perpetuated vet. Ex-Governor Hendricks, of Indiana, believes that General Grant will be . the republican candidate for President, and what is more he feels sure that Grant desires the nomination. Mr. S. 1.. Brown, of Forsyth county. | exhibits a corn shuck containing ten ears of corn united at the main stem, and all having well-developed grains. The corn is of the strawberry variety. It is stated that .81. Louis merchants and capitalists will subscribe 81,000,-' I 000 to carry out a proposition to make I Port Royal. S. C., a great exporting and importing point for the West and, South. It is estimated that the Democrats have been successful in Louisiana b\ 20,000 majority.

The Supreme Court, in Atlanta, has affirmed the judgement of the Su j perior Court of Richmond county, re- I ! fusing to discharge Lynch, the express I messenger who lost a 825.000 money : package, on habeas corpus. i ' Newspa]er men m Mississippi, as , candidates for oilice, are not success-i j ful. The editors of the Meridian Mercury, Vicksburg Herald. Newton Reporter and Lexington Advertiser, were all candidates for office, and every mother's sou of them got left. THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION.

Why not get t Abroad The Con-titution is recog nized. referred to and quoted from as the leading Southern journal—as the organ and vehicle of the best South ern thought and opinion, and at home its columns are consulted for the latest news, the freshest comment, and for all matters of speei il and current in terest. The Constitution contains more and later telegraphic news than any other Georgia paper, and this particu lar feature will be largely added to during the coming year. All its facili ties for gathering tin- latest ne.ws from all parts of the country will be en larged and supplemented. The Con stitution is both chronicler and com menter. Its editorial opinions, its contributions to the drift of current discussion, its humorous and satirical paragraphs, are copied from one end of the country to (lie other. It aims always to be the brightest and best — newsy, original and piquant. It aims particularly to give the news impar tially and fully, and to keep its read ers informed of the drift of current discussion by liberal but concise quo tations from all its contemporaries. It aims, in short, to more than ever deserve to be known as “the leading Southern newspaper.” ‘Bill Arp'will continue to contribute hi* unique let ters, which grow in savory humor week by week. "Old Si’ will add his (plaint fun to the collection of good things, and ’Uncle Remus’ ha* in preparation a series of negro myth legends, illustrating the folk-lore of the old plantation.
