ATHENS FOUNDRY d: MACHINE WORKS,
Atlieus, Georgia.
Tanner proposes to start on an*,
other lust—this time for ninety-five
days. The Philadelphia Times pro
poses that he make it ninety-five years,
which would be a good idea.
The hill to appropriate S‘20,000 for
making a display at the Exposition,
was reported back to the House by
the committee with the recommenda
tion that $10,000 be inserted iustead
of $20,000.
It is the opinion of some that the
President’s recovery is very seriously
retarded by the malarial atmosphere
of the White House. He is evident
ly not getting on as well as people sup
posed. Pity the poor man who is the
subject ot experiment by 6va doctors.
A BASK EXAJOXEK.
The Atlanta Post-Appeal repo:
tbe views of some one whom it cal
*a pleasant and thoughtful ex* banker. 1
This gentleman says that tbe legida-v
tu-e ought to provide for the appoints
ment or election, of a bank examiner;
for the state ot Georgia; that the best-
banking system in'the country is the
United States national banking sys
tem, and that the National Ban'
are regularly inspected by official e:
aminers. The people are kept con-jj
stantly advised of the condition of the
National Banks and depositors therein
f duties of the
examine^, he says: . • ***”
Hetihonld have thorough practical knowl
edge of banking to begiu with. It would be
liia duty to visit all the state banks—not at
stated periods, but to drop in upon them unex?
pectedly- , ascertain thlif true condition end
make regular reports to the .public. He would
drop into a bank and say, 'How much cash have
v ou on 4 liandr ‘So much.* ‘Show it.’
‘Loans and discounts?’ ‘So much.* ‘Let
me see them,’ and so on, making a rigid person
al inspection ot the business of the bank. Such
a method would keep depositors well infenned
of the true condition of the state banks, and
prevent bank officials from ‘cooking up’ state
ments in expectation of visits from the Examin
er at stated periods. Tt» very moment that he
found a state bank getting out of tlie legitimate
line of business he should say, ‘Get right bock;
stop it, or 1 will apply at once for the appoint
ment of a receiver and wind you up.’
There is abundance of wisdom in
these suggestions. This idea, crude
ly presented, should be takeu hold of
by, the legislature, and the wisdom ot
that body could develop a plan odt of
it, which would be feasible and jnst
both to tbe banks and thp people.
As the case stands now, tbe people
seem to have little or no protection
against dishonest or incompetent
bankers. They deposit their money
wiili blind faith! If the managers of
the bank are honest men and are ca
pable of taking cAre of the money en
trusted to them, all is well. If they
are not, the people lose llu-ir money
and there is an end of it.- Sometimes
—perhaps once in a thousand—a cor
rupt bank officer is. found guilty and
punished. But a term in the peni
tentiary will not restore hard earned
money to helpless victims.
The state certainly owes its citizens
protection in this direction, and we
ho]>e to see our legislature take hold
of the matter and give us such a .law
as is n««ded> ...

THE NORTHEASTERN CIRCUIT.
Pope Harrow explains the necessity of
the new circuit.
Atlanta, Ga., Ang. 5th, 1881.
fatfr. Editor:—In a late issue of the
36ily Banner, I notice a singnlar ar
ticle, (which 1 take to be an editorial)
upon tbe subject of the new judicial
lit (the Northeastern) just organs
by the general assembly. The
.rain the statement -of facts in
1 article tire so. conspicuous, that I
fe the liberty of calling your atten-
m to them, believing that you would
^knowingly do injustice to tbe peo-
ot Northeastern Georgia, among
ftp you at profit reside;
article * referred
it of the seven counties com**
ig the new circnit only one (Hall)
probably require more than two
leks a year, and that the creation
the circuit ‘will give somebody an
going time as judge thereof,’
aning, I presume, tbe future judge
I it. The whole article makes the
in pression that the circuit was not
ni aded. The new circuit is composed
of the counties of Hall, Uabersham,
Rabun, Towns, Union, White and
Lumpkin. Tbe new calendar now
bring made for the courts in those
bounties calls for six weeks a year in
Ht^l, four weeks a year in each ot the
counties of - Habersham, White and
Lumpkin, and two weeks a year in
each of the other three. So you
perceive that ot the seven counties,
moro-than half require four weeks at
least fa each year according to the
calcnqir, and one ot them six weeks,
and tlat only three of them can get
along bo two weeks a year. It will
require all the time (bat is provided
jlm fu this new calendar to transact
' their business, and even then ad-
j earned terms will have to be held in
some of them. ‘ •
As to the labors ot. the judge, it is
si ilicient to say that anybody who is
ai all acquainted with the duties of a
judge of the superior court in Geor
gia will see at a glance that twenty-
tour weeks of regular terms scattered
over the Blue Ridge for fifty or sixty
miles, with two ridings in each year
is no sinecure itself, to say nothing of
adjourned terms and the work done
at chambers and in vnealiou. Besides,
it is only two thousand dollars a year
that he is paid for doing it.
Now as to tbe necessity for tbe new
circuit. The Western Circuit was
organized in the year 1818, and until
the North distern was organized the
other day, remained substantially the
same size territorially as at first cre
ated. \Vithin those slxly-threc years
the original counties have been cut up
by the creation of new counties until
the circuit consisted of eleven, ex
tending from Waiton on the south to
necessities require it and they, speak*
ing through their grand jnries,and oth
erwise, ask tbe legislature to give
them a new circuit, I say let them
have it. The legislature was of that
opinion too, I can inform you, for there
was not a single no on the passage of
the bill in the Bouse and only one in
the Senate. I am aware, quite well
aware, of the fact, that for a long time
it has been fashionable in certain quar
ters of the state to sneer at Northeast
Georgia and its people and to belittle
their claim whenever they asked for a
new circuit, or a new railroad, or a
new college, but I can assure you that
the present General Assembly are not
of that way of Chinking and when a
citizen oi*any number of citizens of
our section piesent a good case and
ask relief at their bands it will be gran
ted. .il
I have written fully upon this sub
ject for the reason that it is a matter
in which the people of our section are
deeply interested, is a most important
measure, and because I believe fhat
you would not allow yonr paper to be
used against tbe interest ot tbe people
among whom it is published and by
whom it is supported, if you were
made acquainted with the facts.
Yours Respectfully,
Pope Bariiow.

The Post-Appeal says that a white
girl, apparently about sixteen years
old, was rolled to the station house
in a wheelbarrow, last Sunday, while
in a state of beastly intoxication. She
is saiil to hare como in on a train,
and to have been under tbe influence
of liquor when she arrived.
Bill Moork of the AngustaNews,
is taking a deep interest in the York- 1
town Centennial. He is the only
‘living survivor” of that memorable
battle, and is now in happy possession
of bis second set of natural teeth,
which he is filing up for the banquet
that he expects to tackle on that oc
casion.
Judge Twiggs, of Richmond
county, has introduced a bill in the
House to appropriate money to pro
vide for the preparation, publication
and distribution of a history of Geor
gia. It is a little curious that there is
not patriotism enough in the state, or
prospective profit enough in Buch a
work to induce some one to write it
without this bill.
Is a speech to college classmates on
March 3d, the day before his inaugu
ration, President Garfield said that
after he became prtsideut, “the broad
side of the world’s wrath will strike.
It will strike hard. I know it, and
you will know it.” This was some
what prophetic, but he had no con
ception of how hard or in what man *
ner it would strike.

The greatest walking feat for eadti-

plished by Gale, the plucky English
pedestrian, who has walked 6,000
quarter miles in 6,000 consecutive ten
minutes, or one-quarter mile each ten
minutes until the 6,000 were finished.

any who believed he could succeed,
but so it was with Tanner and Gris-

ing to a special to the Cincinnati En
quirer, will soon resign frem the
cabinet to become presided of a
bank and sate deposit company, of
which the Vanderbilts are the leading
spirits. Hu was selected on acoount
of his honesty and obliging disposi
tion, and strong local fame in New
York. His position will be perma
nent, and his salary greater than a
cabinet minister*#.
For the good of the country, we
hope that report is not true. The
Postmaster-General ’ has introduced
more genuine reform into his depart
ment than any of his predecessors.
He has made very large reductions in
the expenses, without in any way
impairing the efficiency of the ser
vice. On the contrary, the postAl
service is perhaps more satisfactorily
performed than ever before
The Postmaster-General was ap
pointed because of hig supposed
special qualifications for the position.
He has fully proved the wisdom of
the appointment. The reforms and
improvements already inaugurated
kave'raised a hope in tlio minds ot the
public (hnt the work would still go
on, and that by the sagacity aud su
perior management of Mr. James,
the country would, in time, be en
abled to have the jibst-offiue depart
ment self-sustaining, aud letter post
age reduced to two cents. His re
tirement would be nothing less than
a public calamity.

At the Chautauqua, New York
Confereuce the women's foreign ntis-
aoD work of the several denomina-
tiens was discussed. It was stated
that the women of the Presbyterian
church last year raised $179,000, the
Methodist women $120,000, and those
of tbe Congregational body about
tbe same amount. Fifteen women’s
associations raised sbo’it $900,000

over one
eleven counties there is a population
ot nearly one hundred and twenty-
three thousand people, and over sev
enteen millions of dollars of taxable
property. Nearly one twelfth ot the
entire population of the whole state
is in the Western Circuit as it stood
until the other day when the new cir
cuit was organized. It i? intersected
in several directions by railroads ; is
fall of thriving and fast growing
towns and villages; its miuoral re
sources, which are uow being rapidly
developed, exceed any other portion
of the state in variety, extent and
valne, and its mountains are studded
with the most delightful summer re
sorts, which at this moment are liter
ally swarming with visitors and tour
ists from all portions of the country.
The material progress and the increase
of wealth and population in the coun
ties of the old Western Circuit has
been, and is, much more rapid and
substantial than any other portion of
Georgia. Now, you will at once per
ceive that all this has increased enor
mously the amount of the busiuess
before the courts. The volume of
legal business in these counties has
swollen to such proportions that lor
two or three years past no man on
earth could have cleared one halt the
dockets in the fifty-one working
weeks of the year. There is not in
the state of Georgia, within my ac
quaintance, a single judge upon the
bench who disposes of business more
rapid lv than tbe present judge of the
We-tern Circuit, and yet he held
court until suiidown Christmas eve,
and began again the first Monday in
January of the present year. He
ended the spring riding ot this year
on the 22d of June in Clarke, aud
begun the fall riding on the fourth
Monday in July in Oconee and is
right now holding court in Jackson.
There was no vacation or cessation to
speak of in the whole round of
the months. Winter aud summer
solstices, spring and fall equinoxes
came and went, finding hint on the
bench somewhere iu the circuit hold'
ing a reguhr term or an adjourned
term ot the court. And yet with
this unremitting application, in many
of the counties, scores of citizens
went home disappointed at the close
of the term without their cases hav
ing been called. For example, under
the old Western calendar he had but
one week in each riding at Haber
sham. Last April he held court in
that county from Monday morning
until Saturday night and disposed of
upwards of twenty jury cases, in
which verdicts were found, within
that time, and a large number ot mo
tions, rules, certiorari?, demurrers
and the like besides, still, when he
adjourned tbe court Saturday night
to go to Rabun, he left one hundred
and fifty-tour cases on the docket
untouched. Do you not perceive
that this was virtually a denial of
justice to these people f

New Yort .Observer.
‘Elsie 1’
‘Yes, papa,’ and the) child dashed
away her tears and sprang to the bed
where her father lay bandaged and
helpless.
That day an explosion had happen
ed in the mill where he worked, and
he was badly hnrt.
‘Water?’ ho said feebly.
She gave it to him, and he went
m speaking.
^ ‘Where’s the money, Elsie V
'Here, papa,’ putting her band on
the bosom of her dress,
‘That’s right. Tqke good care of
it: God only knows when we shall
have any more. Poor child! he ad
ded, fondly.
‘Not a bit of it,’ sho answered,
gafiy-
You will be at home all the time
now, and we will have such a good
time together.
Her father gave her a loving smile,
and closed his eyes wearily. Elsie be
gan to stroke his hand, and he soon
fell into an uneasy slumber.
The two were all in all to each
other. They came from England and
had been in America but a few
mouths. Elsie was a plain, delicate
child of thirteen, but her father call
ed her his dove of comfort, and now
she was proving her right to the
name. She tended him day and
uight with a cheery, skillful patience
that made everybody love her.
But the weeks went by, tbe money
witsspent, and still he lay on his beo.
Tbe wolf was at the doer. How couid
they keep him out ?
Then it was that her father said:
‘Elsie, where are the silver spoons ?’
‘In mama’s little trunk, with the
ring and the locket,’ she said.
‘You must get them out and carry
them to Mr. Black.’
‘Oh, papa, no! It is all the silver we
have, and mama thought everything
of them,’ she cried impulsively.
The sick man made no answer, but
he put hig hands over his eyes, and
soon Elsio saw the tears stealing slowly
through his fingers.
‘Papa, dear papa 1 I did not mean
it. How cruel of me!’ she exclaimed,
throwing her arms around him. ‘I
will carry them this minute, and when
yon get better and earn money we will
have them back borne again.’
'When I get well! I v'onder when
spairingly.
‘Before long—slow and sure, y<
know,’ she answered, brightly, and in
few minutes sho set out on her first
visit to the pawnbroker. But it was
not her last. Time and again she went,
until every possible thing bad been
carried ; and in the meat
to one, ‘how does it go ?’ He will
straighten himself up and say, with a
twinkle in his eyes:
‘Well ’nuf, boss, on’y a dolla’ ’n a

ing one over with his foot,’ doan you

‘You see, down south the negroes
don’t know anything about stones.
Rocks is the term by which all kinds
and sizes of stones go. About 160
negroes were first brought here from
Washington and Baltitpore iu June.
About half of these have deserted and
gone to work on farms hereabouts.
After work they go about in groups
and sing southern plantation songs
and pick up coppers. No; I do not
know that they have any camp meet
ing services or preaching on Sunday
or any of the other characteristic go'
ings on of their race. They like to
lie out in tbe sun and sleep when off

From the Alexandria Gazette.
For some time past a controversy
lias been going on as to what became
of the first bullet shot by Guiteau at
President Garfield. Numbers of per'
sons in different cities throughout the
country have claimed the honor of
possessing the ‘lost bullet,’ but inves
ligation has so far proved all the claims
to be without foundation. It is now
believed by many that the much
sought-for bullet is in this city in
yellow dog’s back. This yellow dog
about two and a half bands high, sup-
summer posed to be the animal which followed
tbe President’s carriage in the inau
guration procession, came here about
six weeks ago and sought shelter at
the house of Mr. W. L. Penn, on St.
Asaph street, where he was cared for
by Miss Wattie A. Penn. Here he
remained until the Thursday be
fore the President was shot, and
then took his departure, returning
on» week later with a bullet wound
in his back. The course of the ball
is distinctly marked, and an examina
tion has revealed the fact that the
animal still catries the bullet. All the
circumstances point to the bullet
the one first shot by the assassin
President Garfield, and of which all
trace has been lost. Tbe dog left
here on Wednesday a week ago, and
the Washington papers the next
morning said the President’s yellow
dog had again pnt in its appearance
After a short stay he again returned
to his-new home, in this city, where
he is now enjoying his freedom, hie
mistress, Miss Penn, having procured
for him a brass license tax. The
wound in the 1 dog’s back has healed
considerably, bnt it is still plainly vis
ible and sore to the touch. The flesh
and hair have been {flowed by the
bullet in a streit line up the dog’s

again.’
‘Never mind that. We’ll see if
there isn’t some better way out of
this trouble,’ he answered.
So, hand in band, they went back
to t)te sick man, but I cannot tell you
how happy and proud he was when
the doctor told him about -Elsie, or
bow gratefully he fell in with the plan
of going into a nice hospital, where
~ , *[hf soon got well enough to -work , tor
the doctor’s handsome grounds; while
Elsie, in her place as nurse to the
doctor’s tytby,'rolled it over the grav
el walks.
So, though Elsie kept her teeth,
they saved her and her lather from
poverty and distress.
SENETS BEGGARS.
Tbe Troubles orta New York Philanthropist.
The New York Advocate says:
The following interview .with! Geo. I,
Seney is from'a reliable’reptSter'.
Question. Do yon find as much
trouble from’ applicants for gifts as
formerly ?
Answer. Yes; it increases. Tltoy
pursue me at my place of business
and at home. I actually have to leave
the city to get rest. . -
Q. Who gives the most trouble?
A, A great many women are ap
plying to me, some of whom persist
until they have to be fairly driven
away.
Q. Do you reoeivo ;many letters?
A. Yes; I am almost as much per
secuted as Dr. Dix was by Gentle
man Jo’s letters. I frequently get
thirty or forty a day.
Q. Do you’pay any attention to
them ?
A. No. As soon as I see what
they are at, I throw them in the waste
basket. It is my deliberate purpose
to answer none, and to rend none
after I see wbat they are at, and there
is no use in people calling on me. My
plans are all formed, and I know what
to do with all I have to give, and ten
times as much if I had it. I have no
money for paying church d' bis or
for building parsonages. What. I
have to give for those purposes, I‘in
tend to give through the church ex
tension and treedman’s aid society,
through the regular collection taken
in the ahurch extension for those pur-
poses.
Q. Do persons who apply for per
sonal help grow angry?
A. Yes. A man threatoned'to 'do
violence not long ago, and I had to
have him arrested. lie turned out
to be an ex-convict. Another wrote
me a letter hoping at the day of judg
ment I would be damned. It is use
less for people to apply to me. If I
ever get so that I can’t tell what to
do next, I will look up some triend
for counsel.
Q. Do you object to this interview
being published ?
A. I don’t care whether you puli-
lish it or not. If it will lead people
to save their time and my patience,
it will be a good thing.

morning paper lying on the counter.
As she did so, these words caught her
eye:
W ANTED.

Ciias. Dow, Dentist, No. 5, K. St.
The poor little face flushed scarlet
with a sudden hope.
Perhaps he would take mine,’ she
thought. ‘Mother Savage said yes
terday sho wondered how such a
homely child came to have such hand
some teeth.’
She seemed to hersclfto be dream
ing. iForty dollars, forty dollars, 1
kept saying itself over in her brain,
and when the shop-man turned to
wait on her she was gone. A few
minutes after she stood in the dentist’s
office.
‘Please, \^ill you see if my teeth
are good enough to buy ?’ she asked
timidly.
The doctor was engaged in a deli
cate operation but he stopped to
give the teeth a hurried examination
‘How beautiful! They are just what
I want. Come tosmorrow,’ he said,
going back to his work.
The rest of the day Elsie’s father
thought her wonderfully gay , but he
could not t hink why, for she said noth
ing of her plan, about which she began
to lose courage when the first excite
ment of it subsided. Hard things look
easier in the ntoruing than they do at
night, and as she sat in tbe twilight,
studying herself in a bit of looking
glass, she thought sorrowfully:
‘I shall be homelier than ever when
they are gone; but then how silly of
me to care about that. Papa will love
me just the same. But it will hurt so
to have them out,’ she went on think'
ing, and every nerve quivered at the
prospect. ‘If it wasn’t for the rent,
and the medicine for papa, and ever
so many other things—I never, never
could beg, never. Yes, Elsie Benson,
it’s cot to be done, if it kills you.’
The next morning she entered the
dentist’s office by the mere force of
will. Her courage was all gone. Dr.
Dow was alone, and said ‘Good morn
ing’ very kindly; bnt when he saw
how she trembled he put her on the
lounge and made her drink something
that quieted her. Then be sat down
by her and said:
‘Now tell me what your name is,
and why you want to sell your teeth.’
He spoke so gently that at first
El*ie could only answer him with
tears; but at last he contrived to get
all her sad story, and hia. eyes were
wet and his voice husky several times
while she was telling il,
‘You are a dear, brave child,’ he
said, when she had finished. ‘Now I
am going with you to see your father.*
‘But you’ll take the teeth first,
won’t you ?’ she asked, imploringly. I

‘There is no use talking,’ lie replied,

for I can never smile again. When

remarked wiping a tear from his left
eye.
Four months elapsed and not one
crop of grass had been cut from Pol
ly’s grave, when one Saturday morn
ing he came to the same grocer’s, and
with face rnddv, exclaimed, ‘John
son, old fellow, give me a drink of

a three year old.’ ‘What’s the mat
ter ?’ asked the grocer. ‘Why, I am
going to marry Jim Jackson’s daught

teventeen, and as plump and pretty
as a peach.’ ‘Why, old fellow only a
few months ago you told me you
wanted to die, all on account of poor

THE TEMPERANCE BILL.
The Bill reported in the senate
Monday by the special committee on
temperance, provides that after pres
ent licenses expire it shall be unlaw
ful for any person to sell, barter or
furnish either directly or indirectly
any spirituods or intoxicating liquors
or drinks or any medicated alcoholic
bitters of any kind or any liquor ot
which spirituous liquor is a material
or constituent part outside the limits
of any incorporated town or city ex
cept upon the written application to
the ordinary of two-thirds of the
freeholders who reside outside of such
towns and cities and within three
miles of the place at which it is pro
posed to open a saloon. The second
section of the act provides that iu in
corporated towns an election shall lie
held when one-fourth of the voters
so petition at which whisky may be
voted out and such a vote shall debar
any person from issuing license in
such towns as polls a majority of
votes against whisky. The fifth sec
tion provides that the law shall not
operate to cause a new eloction in
those places which have already voted
whisky out, or whero the sale of whis
ky is prevented by special legislation.
It is thought that the bill will pass.
It will suit the country people, and it
leaves the towns and cities free to
regulate the matter fur themselves.
