CURRENT TOPICS.
The Indian Must Leave the Black
Hills.
The feeble efforts of the Indian, luke
warmly aided by the Government, to keep
miners out of the Black Hills, will soon
end. In three or four years as many rail
roads will be running to that forbidden
ground. A treaty between a white man
and an Indian is made to last just as long
as it suits the white man. The Black Hills
were given to the red man—or he was al
lowed to keep them rather—by solemn
(?) treaty duly signed by the United States
and the Indian. Suddenly gold is discov
ered, the miner makes a rush, the treaty is
in the way, troops are ordered to make
them leave, the troops sympathize with
the miners, they are disturbed none to
hurt, and the Indian i8 left with nothing to
do but to make complaints to unsympa
thetic ears.
the upshot of the whole matter will be
as above. The Indian is a lazy. Worthless,
savage dog, and in the Black Hills country
a dog in the manger —neither will dig gold
nor allow the white man to dig it if he can
himself. It will be a short contest.
“Tar and Feathers.”
We have published the letter of Andy
Johnson, round after death among his pa
pers, the assertion of one Copeland, a cor
respondent of a Chicago paper that Andy
had no religion, and finally the castigation
of Copeland by the Atlanta Constitution,
in which it was asserted that Copeland
was a scamp from Baltimore without char
acter, an impostor, and an arrant knave.
The people of Knoxville read the expose
with astonishment, at first doubted, then
investigated, and then— tarred and fea
thered him ! We copy from the special to
the Constitution, dated Knoxville, August 17,
as follows:
Tno articles in the Constitution of the 11th
and 13th inst., showing up Copeland’s ras
cality in regard to the Andrew Johnson let
ter, and identifyi g him with the Baltimore
(icvzelte’s fraud, led to an investigation by
leading gentlemen of the city into Cope
land’s antecedents and true character. The
result of a very fair and full examiu ition
was the fixing upon this man of his identity
with the Baltimore scamp! The indigna
tion was great, and no man ev> r fell so
suddenly to such depths of public execra
tion. Ihe feeling against him grew until
night, when he was seized upon by the out
raged citizens and treated to a coat of tar
and feathers!
the publishment was well laid on, and
when lie was finally released he decamped
for parts unknown.
The Constitution gives the following de
scription of Copeland:
As other communities may be honored
with his presence, the following descrip
tion of hiiu is given: ‘‘He generally claims
that he is a Methodist minister, 33 or 34
years of age; five feet nine inches high;
lull forehead; under jaw and teeth project
over the upper; hair sandy and curly;
beard rather heavy and perfectly red;
sometimes wears a moustache; is very
smart and keen looking, and very neat and
gentlemanly.
Summering iu North Georgia.
We are glad to know that the people of
Georgia have this year chiefly patronized
their own resorts. The mineral water,
mountains and vales, the falls, cataracts,
and pure air of Northern Georgia are as
fine and as glorious as can be found on the
American continent. Says an exchange:
“There are more people visiting Northeast
Georgia than has ever been known before.
All the prominent points are crowded with
visitors. The people of Georgia are seek
ing health and pleasure in the coniines of
their own State; witnessing tho beauties of
her vales and cataracts—the grandeur of
her mountains and water-falls. There is
no section of country which presents so
varied and inviting scenes as this; and all
who wish to have a pleasant time, live well
and recuperate their health, should come
among us. The latch-string is upon the
outside, and all are welcome.”
When in Washington, last winter, Spot
ted Tail agreed to take $25,000 for the
Black Hills, but when it came to pay, Dela
no wanted him to take red blankets and
“sieh.” This Spot. T. refused. He now de
mands $7,000,000 damages of Delano for
trespass by gold miners. It is patent that
that Indian has been recently associating
with Congressmen and the lobby members.
A Reminiscence of the Olden Times.
In tho Summer of 1833, when Gen. Jack
son's unpopularity was at its height in
Boston, the old frigate Constitution—
which, by order of the Navy Department
is to be repaired for exhibition at the Cen
tennial—was at the navy-yard at Charles
town, Mass. A roystering set, whose head
quarters were at the Tremont House in
Boston, were making merry on the evening
of the 3d of July, when one of their com
rades arrive 1 witlra huge package rolled
in a flag and protected by sail cloth. It was
unrolled, when out came, not the head of
Hulofernfs, but the head of Gen. Jack
son ’s wooden statue, the figure-head of the
Constitution! The daring thief went in a
boat at night and sawed it off right under
the very tread of the officer who guarded
the deck. One of the ears was sent as a
gift to M. M. Noah, of New York.
We would suggest to the Bedou ns of the
Georgia press that Mr. Stephens is too
great and venerable for them to level exe
crable jokes at. They may differ with him
upon abstract questions, but should not
forget he i- and will so be written in his
tory as the greatest Georgian that ever
lived.—Augusta Constitutionalist.
The point is well taken. The “Bedouins”
will see the day when they will regret they
ever attempted sucli “execrable jokes” upon
such a man, whose great ability and pro
found statemanship are recognized by all
intelligent people, and whose purity’ of
character and kindne-s of heart are so well
known. And it may’ be admitted that it re
quires a degree of animal courage for an
ass to kick at a lion, and that a tly’ may
light on an elephant’s tusk without his
noticing it.—[Rome Courier.
The Population of Ireland.
The present population of Ireland is
5,412,377; in 1841 it was 8,199,853; in 1851,
6,514,473, showing a falling off of 1,G85,330 in
ten years. In 1861 the population was 5,-
798,624. The census of 1871, just published,
shows a falling off during the decade end
ing that year of only about 386,000, and it
is believed that the next census will show
some gain, the emigration to the United
States having been much smaller of
late years than formerly. The differ
ence between tho population of the
Green Isle in 1841 and in 1871 was
2,787, 476, or more than half of the former
year. This shows an immense decrease in
thirty’-otie years. But the improved con
dition of affairs in Ireland with n the last
decade has checked the tide of emigration
in a marked degree, and it may be that
such further inducements to remain at
home will bo offered the Irish peo
ple as will almost entirely prevent
emigration and lead to the future
prosperity of their country. Ireland
contains about 21 000,000 acres] of land,
about 4,000,000 of which aro bogs and wild
mountains, leaving about 17,000,000 acres of
avai able land, nearly 10,000,000 of which,
however, are devoted to pasturage or left
uncultivated. Under proper laws and with
due encouragement to the people to work,
millions of these uncultivated acres would
be made productive, and it is not impi oba
ble that during the next decade such changes
•will occur as will inaugurate anew era in the
affair’s or Ireland, during which her people
may become prosperous and happy at
home. There is no good reason why the
Green Isle should not be made one of the
most productive and prosperous spots of
Its size on the face of the globe, and nothing
is more plainly the interest of Great Brit
ain than the adoption of such a policy as
would lead to the thorough development of
Ireland's natural resources.—[Philadelphia
Jimes.
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
A. H. Stephens is in Atlanta.
Charley Cowart, a lawyer, and native
of Atlanta, died at Dallas, Texas, Mon
day night.
Mrs. C. W. Davis, a native of New
Orleans and resident of Athens, died
on Saturday.
Bishop Elliott, of Texas, is on a visit
to Georgia. He spent last Sunday in
Rome.
Columbus Times: “Augusta National
Bank stock is quoted at 130. That
must be a sound institution.” It is.
The agent of Chambers’ Eneyelopae
dia sold one hundred and twenty copies
of his book in Atlanta. So says the
Herald.
A fire occurred in the boot and shoe
house of Bedell & Ware, of Columbus,
Sunday morning. Loss, sl2,ooo—cov
ered by insurance, SIO,OOO.
The farmers of Middle and North
Georgia are now complainingg of too
much rain. “It has rained every day
for a week,” say all the papers.”
Barnesville (Aug. 17) dispatch to the
Atlauta Constitution: Parker's line mer
chant mills were destroyed by fire last
night. Loss, SIO,OOO. We are informed
that there is no insurance.
Atlanta Herald: We are pained to
announce the death of Miss Sallie
Moore, which occurred last evening at
her father’s residence, in this city. She
was the daughter of Mr. W. A. Moore,
of Moore & Marsh.
Gainesville Southron: The crops in
Northeast Georgia, we have no doubt,
will make an average yield. The
drouth had cut short corn and cotton
iu some sections, while others had
more propitious seasons and will go
far above an average.
Columbus Enquirer: From the Co
lumbus stock the mills of our city have
taken, from the beginning of the pres
ent season to date, 9,360 bales of cot
ton. They took last year 8,621. This
shows an increase in home production
of 739 bales.
Athens Georgian: Almost daily, for
the past week or ten days, has our sec
tion been visited with tine rains, which,
being of a very drouth-destroying and
crop-producing character, have trans
formed many a sad countenance into
the smiles of ye happy, hopeful agricul
turist.
Gainesville Southron : Visitors are
leaving this section on every train. The
cool weather and continued raius are
causing them to seek their Ironies.
When the rain shall have ceased, and
the sun shall again pour forth its ra
diant heat, they will sigh for the cool
shades and invigorating atmosphere of
Northeast Georgia.
Forsyth (Aug. 17,) dispatch to the
Atlanta Herald: A nearly successful
effort was made this morning about
day, to burn our Court House. The
attempt was evidently made by an in
cendiary, whom, it is supposed, is a
negro, but no one has been arrested.
The culprit entered by a window,
carrying straw, judging from the
traces left, which was placed under
each of three flights of stairs. For
tunately the intent was foiled, and we
still have a Court House.
Grifliu News : Miss Emma Rhodes,
daughter of E. W. Rhodes, Esq., died
at her father’s residence, in this city,
on Sunday morning, after a painful at
tack of brain fever. Miss Emma was
a member of the senior class at the
Griffin Female College, was considered
a young lady of superior talent, and
was greatly beloved by the pupils of
the school. Her death was a triumph
ant one, as she was entirely prepared
to go. The family have the sympa
thies of the community.
The News says that Savannah is suf
fering seriously in her trade from the
complications between the Central and
Savannah and Charleston Railroads.
It says : “Much inconvenience, and no
little pecuniary losses have been ex
perienced by our mercantile com
munity on this account, and daily is
this impediment to commerce felt.
Savannah, which has enjoyed the trade
of the country around Hardeviile,
Grahamville, Port Royal, Beaufort and
other points, is now entirely cut off,
and Charleston is reaping the benefit.”
Columbus Sun : On Saturday night
a negro, Aleck White, as we have
stated, was shot in the chest by “Bud”
Reutfroe. He will get well. Rentfroe
escaped. Liquor on the part of the
white man. Sunday morning about
ten and a half o’clock, at the foot of
the upper city bridge, on the Alabama
side, a white man, seemingly about
Rentfroe’s size, threw some water acci
dentally on a negro. The latter moved
off, cursing at the white man. The
latter drew a pistol. The negro ran,
and the white man tired at him. The
ball struck the fugitive, but the wouud
was not fatal.
The Quitman Reporter says that Dr.
Henry Briggs, President of the Quit
man Factory, has returned from the
North, where he has been for the pur
pose of purchasing new looms and
other machinery for this important en
terprise, and everything will probably
be in order and operations resumed
under the auspices of the new company
by the Ist of September. The factory
will now be furnished with all the latest
improved machinery for manufactur
ing both cotton and woolen goods, and
will be able to compete successfully
with other manufacturing establish
ments North and South.
Rev G. 11. Cartledge (Grafton’s Unity
of the Human Race friend) has con
tributed a historical paper to the
Gainesville Eagle upon the formation
of counties. We extract: Elbert coun
ty was formed from Wilkes in 1790 ;
and the same year Columbia was form
ed from Richmond. In 1783 Warren
and Oglethorpe were formed from
“ Wilkes and several other counties
contiguous.” Iu 1811 Madison was
formed Irom Elbert and Franklin.—
About 1854 Hart was formed from El
bert and Franklin. In 1859 Banks was
formed from Franklin and Habersham;
and subsequently, portions of Hall and
Jackson were added.
Cartersville Express: We believe that
a “cold spell” comes upon us every
Summer, lasting two or three days—
most generally happening in July. This
year it did not occur until August, and
it has now been of wintry tendency at
night and early in the morning for the
past ten or twelve days. The nights
have been so cool that blankets and
quilts were necessary for the comfort
of sleepers. * * During the past few
weeks some twenty persons, for selling
liquor without license, illicit distilling
and other violations of law have been
tried and convicted before Commis
sioner Collins, in this place. These par
ties are from the counties of Gilmore,
Pickens, Fannin and Cherokee, respec
tively.
Milledgeville Union : An old man by
the name of Isham Higgins, confined
in our county jail on account of lunacy,
died last Tuesday. He was formerly
an inmate of the Asylum from Jefferson
county, we think, and after his restora
tion, several |vears ago, became a
citizen of this county. A few
months since he became insane
again, and as there'was no room in the
Asylum for him, it became necessary
to confine him in jail. He imagined
that he was the Saviour, and as he
thought ho had the power it was his
duty to punish sin, and the public
safety demanded his confinement. —
The weary, diseased body and disor
deied brain of the poor old man have
found rest iu the hands of a merciful
Saviour,

lam in the woods and amoDg the
Grangers. Out of the atmosphere of
16ths and 32ds, I am now accustomed
to hear values and quantities determin
ed by other terms than are employed
by our metropolitan artists when delv
ing amidst the mysteries of decimals
and common fractions. He knows
nothing of the merits of the provincial’s
“biggest half” (think of that,) and he
will never tell you what per cent, it is
of a given amount. Certainly’ there is
less wear and tear of mind in arriving
at this quotient than in getting at per
centage sometimes, and all things con
sidered it is just as well for people to
do sums in this fashion if the answer
suits all concerned. {
I am not at the Springs, just in the
woods, as I have said, among the
Grangers, and it is such a novel situa
tion for a town man to be allowed to
fool around in a fellow’s watermelon
patch, and tote off what he pleases
without being remonstrated with, shot
at or charged for it. You feel as if
there was a joke out somewhere, and
that the thing is too good to last.
Doubtless, too, your host is a Wm. A.
Trimbletoe—
“Who catches hens
And puts ’em in pens,”
in which case you may be sure he’ll
serve up a pair of spring chickens as a
fried offering every now and then. You
have heard, perhaps, of the little bal
lad which celebrates Wm. A. Trimble
toe and his weakness for trapping
fowls. Every juvenile is more or less
familiar with tho verse, and, conse
quently, with the gentleman by’ reputa
tion. And I dare say older people, so
journing in the country, applaud tho pe
culiarity which engages a Trimbletoe
to provide chickens and eggs aa ad
juncts to a genuine hospitality.
Crops have suffered throughout this
county from the recent drouth, but it
is noticeable that the people are not
complaining. The frisky beeezes which
gamboled through field and forest last
March seem to have inclined the peo
ple to “ not mind the weather so the
wind don’t blow.” Future “sly’coons ”
must be quick about it if they are to
catch the average provincial about the
home of his fathers or under his own
vine and fig tree again. His tornado
experience teaches him that a position
in an old field offers inducements to
journeymen storm-dodgers vastly’ su
perior to those afforded about home.
Consequently, in frolicsome weather,
it isn’t altogether uncommon to hear
of a family circle rallying around a
persimmon bush in the middle of a
cotton patch awaiting developments
with an abiding faith i.i the merits of
indigenous shrubbery.
The labors of your Young Men s
Christian Association in this county,
although just inaugurated, have crea
ted a considerable interest among
the people, and if continued will
bo productive of very much good.
The Association would not go out of
its way perhaps, and would do a great
service by encouraging among the peo
ple at large a greater interest in educa
tion. It seems to me that such a pol
icy would be an invaluable aid to the
Association iu tho prosecution of this
great work.
I am informed that Warren county
is out of debt and has a considerable
fund in its treasury’.
The Constitutionalist is winning pop
ularity among the people of Warren
and adjacent counties very rapidly,
and I predict a large addition to your
subscription list from this quarter by
the advent of the new year.
Wm. Harrison.
The Clement Attachment.
This machine, about which there has
been so much said and written in the
South during the last two or three
years, is now in operation in Corinth,
Miss., and is reported by experienced
parties to be a complete success. It
takes the cotton as it comes from the
field, and by one operation forces it
from the seeds, cards and spins it into
threads of any required texture.
As the cotton is freed from tho seed
by means of pickers, closely resembling
that done by the human hand, in re
sult, the staple is not cut nor the fibre
injured as by the gin, consequently’ the
thread is stronger, being able to sus
tain fully one-third more weight. Be
sides this great advantage there is the
other still greater, of being more silky
and lustrous, which proceeds from the
fact that the staple has lost none of
those qualities by driving out and com
pression.
It is estimated that, if these machines
were generally used by farmers —and
they cost but little more than the ordi
nary gin—that a saving of $300,000,000
would be realized by the South per an
num. |
Mr, Whitfield, who is running the
ClemeDt maching in Corinth, forwarded
to all the Northern mills specimens of
the thread spun by him, and the mana
gers of these have uniformly written
to him commending the thread, and
asking whether or not cotton of a su
perior quality had been used. Of
course there had not been ; the differ
ence in appearance and strength had
been caused by the direct operation of
the machinery and the freshness of the
cotton.
We hope to see these machines intro
duced ou all cotton plantations in the
South. The first step will then have
been taken towards freeing us from the
slavery to the capitalists abroad which
has been robbing us of the greater
part of the profits of our labor.
The Sin of the Age. —Archbishop
Lynch, in the course of a recent ser
mon at Toronto, Canada, alluded to
the “dreadful crime” so prevalent in
some portions of the United States,
which he characterized in strong and
plain terms, and against which he
warned his congregation. Ho called it
murder, and said that the blood of the
innocent victims cries to heaven for
vengeance against the assassins. His
meaning will be understood from the
following sentence, which we quote
from the telegraphic synopsis of his
sermon. He said : “Iu the New Eng
land States an ungodly people are ex
terminating themselves from the face
of tho earth, and a chaste and God
fearing people are succeeding to their
inheritance, as the statistics of births
show.”
The National Income. —lt was stated
a few days ago that accounts of the
government for the fiscal year ending
June 30, show that the income for that
period has been larger than any esti
mate that had been made, and more
than realizes the expectations of treas
ury officials. The figures show that
the actual receipts have amounted to
$288,000,000, while the estimate was
$284,318,286. The actual expenditures
were $274,623,393, while the estimate
was $275,315,490. The result of this is
that the amount left to apply to the
sinking fund is about $13,400,000, and,
as the sinking fund amounts to some
$31,000,000, the deficit during the past
year will range between seventeen and
a half and eighteen million dollars. It
will, of course, be understood that this
means merely paying out more money
than the treasury takes in, and does
not mean any shortness of tunds. The
sinking fund, which caused the deficit,
is money paid out of one pocket of the
government into another.
