Betites, «a„ Marek 18. 1880.
Major John Hockenhtdl, one of the
oldest and moat prominent citizen* of
Dawson county, died at Ids home, six
miles south of Dawsonville, on the
7th instant.
The heaviest rains Iwve fallen for
the past eight days known in Georgia
for years. AH streams are very high,
and overflows, which will damage
crops, are reported from various por
tions of the State.
An Indiana paper says “it is rank
treachery and base ingratitude to de
sert Tilden under the present circum
stance*. The people will not do it.
He will receive the Democratic nom
ination just as sure as he lives.”
The majority report of the Senate
Privileges and Elections Committee
in the Kellogg case, was made yester-'
day, and he will pick «p his carpet
bag and walk. .Spofford will take his !
seat. Setiator Hill made the report.
The Paris Figaro says of Grant:
“Before his arrival many persons pic
tured him to themselves ax a kind of
Bonaparte at the time of the Con
sulnte— brilliant, profound, a master,
in short. Unhappily he Im* been seen,
and the ideal is considerably buttered
down.”
We want to send the North Geor
gian to every family in Banks county.
This will be a very important year in
politics, and everybody will want to
know the news. We propose to keep
our readers fully posted on the events
of the day, and at the extremely low
price of one dollar per year.

State an tux collector for Fulton
county for about #29,(100. Mr. Hoyle
left Atlanta about a week ago, and
we believe he will turn up all right.
The Burlington Hawkeye, a leading
Republican journal in lowa, says “the
shrewdest observers of the political
sky do not hesitate to admit that
Grant's nomination in a foregone
conclusion.” It adds that “in all
human probability he will be nomi
nated on the first ballot, and quite
likely without opposition.”

Last Thursday the nomination of
Rev. T. J. Simmons. as census super
visor for the first district of Georgia,
was reported to the Senate from the
census committee adversely, when a
motion was made to proceed to its
consideration immediately, hut Nt.
Hill objected, and under the rales the
case wns laid over.
General 1.. J. Gartrell, of Atlanta,
passed up the Air Line, last Sunday
night, to attend Hurl Superior Court.
The General is our first choice for the
gubernatorial nomination, and he has
a large following for the position all
over the State. He is competent,
honest and trustworthy, ami there
fore would give general satisfaction
to our people.
The Jonesboro News says: “Gen.
Gartrell was in attendance on the
superior'court. Monday, ami favored
us with a pleasant interview. We
infer from the expressions of the peo
ple and the press, that the General
will be our next Governor, ami we
are confident that we could not do ,
belter than to elevate him to that .
high and responsible position.
The London Standard, referring to '
the United States’claim for a prepon- I
derating influence in the Panama 1
canal, says: “This pretension the :
British government is bound to watch 1
and if necessary to resist. No more '
at Panama than at Suez can the pre
ponderating influence of another,'
power be allowed to lay hands on the '
trade of England.”

They want matters “quiet’ in a Napo
leonic sense—through bayonets and
siddierism generally.
Much has been said about the 21st
rule, over which there was such a
liard fight in the House of Represen
tatives. Tin- Democrats sought to j
preserve this rule, since under its
operation they had defeated and still
hoped to protect the country against
much of the obnoxious legislation of
Radicalism. The Republicans in the
House being supported in their oppo
sition to this rule by a few Democrats,
who are better known as Independ
ent*. made it a close light, the Demo

THE TARIFF.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee. in giving notice that nothing
is to be done at this session, in the
way of reducing the tariff, have stirred
lup a hornets nest throughout the
! West, and from the vigorous criticism
to which its members are subjected,
severally and collectively, it is safe
to conclude that no man who stands
committed to their do-nothing policy
can hope to lie sent back to ('ongresm,
be his party proclivities what they
may. The Chicago Tritane scarifies
them in this style:
“The action of the Committee of
Ways and Means is disgracefid: the
country may well go further and say
lit is ishonest. It is an extension of
time in which plunder and robbery
may be profitably prosecuted under
the sanction of law. It is a shame-
I less disregard of the obligations of
Representatives: a surrender by two
hundred and ninety-three sworn Rep
resentatives of the people <>f the ex
clusive power to perpetuate iniquitous
and indefensible taxation to seven
Representatives of the most scandal
ous monopolies which curse the land.
The steel rail.companics and the rail
road corporations they own. the frau
dulent sugar refiners, the patent and
protected pulp members in Congress,
the carpet monopolists and the whole
army of beneficiaries Under special
legislation, have combined and hold
the honesty, the good faith, the mor
ality and consciences of tin- majority
of the House of Representatives in
absolute control. It is possible that
in due time retributive justice may at
least reach the false Representative,
even if it fail to touch the enormity
by- which he was corrupted.
The Central Georgia Weekly hits
the nail on the head in the following:
“When Congressman Felton con
cluded to have Simmons or nobody,
he made a serious blunder, but when
he voted in committee against a re-
duclion of duty on steel rails, he c«un
mitted almost a crime. Wlmt the
South wants is more railroads. They
are the pioneers of civilization and
the advance guard of an army which
brings wealth and a rsipid population
to the country. What has built up
; the West is her railroads. Thousands
of miles were built through an almost
; trackless wilderness a few years .since,
i which is now the home of a hard work
, ing and enterprising people. It is this
’ spirit of high tariff and monopoly
which is cursing the South to-day.
(One railroad man wants no more
railroads unless he can grasp the
monopoly. A newspaper wants high
i taritf to kill off a weeklv paper in an
adjoining county that it may thrive
by monopoly. Il is this spirit, want
ing in manhood, lacking in enterprise
. and selfish to a degree bordering on
. the inhtmutn. that should be driven
from the South. Public spirit is al
. most as scarce here as honesty in a
professional burglar. Au enterpris
( mg spirit is looked upon as a devil
, who would rob his neighbor, ami is
' i consequently obstructed in everv lite
■ I giving enterprise lie may inaugurate.
.and frowm-d upon by those who wouhl
prefer to sit (pliet half his time, and
charge his neighbor with high prices
, : in lieu <>f active work the other half.
i Not until the present generation is
.gone and a new one takes its place.
. . will the grand, sunny and prolific
I South la-come what God and nature
intended—the richest and most favor
ed land on God's earth. The Feltons
. should be transplanted. They who
. stand as a bar against Southern de
velopment. should be made to step
aside. If a public spirit could onlv
be engrafted on our people, what a
glorious future would he presented to
the eve. The grasping after the al
mighty dollar and want of public
G spirit, is hanging like a nightmare
- upon our people, is really shrouding
. the South in gloom, when all should
I be sunlight and prosperity.
The Southern people have but few
friends in this country or out of it.
There has never been a people so
persistently and systematically slan
dered. And there has never been a
people so well prepared, it they will
but do their duty, to snap their fingers
at the impotent malice of their ene
mies. The South should become self
sustaining in all the varied industries
of life. Every Southern man should
do everything that in him lies to sus
tain and build up home industries.
I’l.-tronize home institutions. Everv
worthy Southern enterprise should
find a friend in every Southern man.
woman and child. Nothing should be
imported which can be made at home.
The balance of trade ought to be in
<air favor. Exports enrich a people;
imports impoverish them. Let ns im
prove these matters. The South is
our home, and it only is worthy of our
, undivided love.—Sparta Ishmaelite.
The Georgia Baptist Convention,
i representing 2,00.3 ehurchas and 219.-
72S members, meets in Savannah on
April 22d. It has been almost a quar
ter of a century since the convention
met in Savannah. Railroads have
agreed to pass delegates at half fare,
iOn the 20th the nven hunt* will fur

ized at Powelton in 1X22. Rev.

then the Moderators have been as

President of Mercer University, for
six years ; Hon. Thus. Stocks, for ten
years; Dr. P. 11. Mell, for seventeen
years, and Hon. D. E. Butler for four
years. Dr. Mell is now the Moderator.
WOFFORD FOR GOVERNOR.
It is now announced with apparent
authority that Gen. W. T. Wofford, of
Bartow, will be an independent c-andi
' date for Governor. Should this state-
J inent turn out to be true, it will lie
the duty of the Democracy to nomi
' nate a man who can carry the bulk of
the vote in the Seventh and Ninth
Congressional Districts—one in fact
to whom all classes in the mountain
I counties will rally.
; The man for such a contest is Gen.
Litchis J. Gartrell, of Atlanta, against
: whom North Georgia could not urge
the sectional question, and against
whom the independent Democrats of
that section would make but little, if
any, resistance. It is our solemn con
viction, and we speak witli a full
i knowledge of the situation, that he
i can get mon-votes north of Coving
; ton, Griffin and West Point, and east
,of the Georgia railroad, than any
I man in the State, with or without an
independent in the field, and that his
; candidacy would prevent any formil-
I able movement against the organizitd
Democracy for that office.
Gen. Gartrell has beeu so little in
! politics, since the war, that he will
have but few sins to answer for. and
certainly none that are included in
the indictment <>f generalities pre
ferred by the ifidepelidetlls. II there
have been “rings” and-“cliques," or

THE SOBER SEt'ONI) THOFGHT.
According to om- Washington cor
respondent. says the Savannah News,
the Monroe doctrine resolution of the
House Canal ('ommittee is bound to
go through that body ‘with a whirl;’
and yet there are indications that the
‘sober second thought' may induce
some members to hesitate before
putting themselves on record in sup
port of such a defiance, if not "a
declaration of war.’- The Washington
Star says that a member of t'ougress.
and one of considerable prominence,
said that there would be develop 'd a
good deni of opposition ill th,- ttoil-e.
when the luteroccamc Canal Commit
tee reported the resolution reaffirming
the Monroe doctrine. •By whom,' que
ried the Star man. 'Why. by men of
sense,’ added the Congressmati. 'The
resolution of the eommiltee is simph
a declaration of war. We are in no
position to have a war with a foreign
power. Such a war would be on
water. We have no navy. Haven't
a ship which is safe to send to sea
with armament aqd a crew. We
haven’t a gun in our navv, except on
the monitors, which are not sea
worthy, that will pierce an inch iron
plate.’
Before inviting a conflict with the
maritime powers of the world, whose
interests are involved, and who mav
be unwilling to concede ottr arrogant
pretensions to a protectorate of the
American continent, our government
should prepare itself at least to make
some show of ability to maintain
such a position.—Savannah News.

It is stated by the free traders of
the House that, while they have
abandoned all hope of taking any
general tariff legislation from the
Committee of Ways and Means, thev
have not by any means abandoned
their purpose to secure a reduction of
duties on many standard articles of
consumption. They have determined
when any bill in reference to the tariff
is brought before the House—the sugar
bill, the bill in relation to the duty on
malt, the bill in relation to the dutv
on paper, or whatever it may be—to
form a combination and move their
different schemes as amendments. In
this way they hope, if not to secure a
general revision nf the tariff, to nt
least make some material changes.
The great question is whether the
early traditions of the republic—and
that means republic.au institution,—-
shall be preserved or not. We never
before had the election of a President
3o a third term. That is an entirelv
new proposition. Umloubtedlv it is a
step in the direction of a monarchial
government to elect a President for a
third term. Shall such a thing hap
pen? It never occurred before—shall
it occur now? The question mav as
well be settled now. Are we to have
a republic or a monarchy ? What do
the American people say to this ques
tion?—New York Sun.
The House Committee has decided
to incorporate in the special deficiency
