Tallulah Falla.
For The Sit*.
October the first, a company of nineteen
met at the place appointed, and with
horses, wagons, buggies, Ac., we hied
away for Tallulah. As we started, in
front and in full view, Mt. Yonah’s lofty
summit is seen, but is soon left behind, and
the Hlue Kidge makes its appearance on
the left. The clear waters of the Chatta
hoochee were crossed, and a drive of 15
miles brought us to the quiet village of
Clarksville. (The merchants report busi
ness as having been dull, but reviving.)
A mile beyond, by the roadside, a spring
of clear water attracted our attention, and
the subject of dinner was brought to bear
upon the mind ; the question was soon de
cided. and there for an hour we rested, ate,
and drank of the water of the spring. 13
miles to the Falls, so the wheels were
again rolling in that direction. With the
merriment that usually characterizes a
party of pleasure-seekers, we journeyed on
till about dark we found ourselves in about
one hundred yards of that which had at
tracted our attention. l)r. Young and his
accomplished lady entertained us hand
somely, as they do all their guests. Tues
day morning, the rain was falling gently,
and we feared that we would be disap
pointed. We employed the time in view
ing from the hotel till about eight o'clock,
when the rain ceased. We started from
the hotel down the river. The first de
scent we made was to the Indiauow Rapids.
Here the river runs swiftly, but without
any sudden waterfall. Tlicre are many
rocks near the edge of the water that are
almost perfectly smooth, and of various
shapes; some have holes in them that look
like they might have been drilled by hand.
Hut we must pass, we can only sketch at
the scenery of different points. Leaving
this, we made an ascent and a descent and
reached Ladore Falls. This is just below
the Rapids —a sudden descent, which
makes tne chasm deeper. The east side of
the river is a rock almost perpendicular
and of considerable height, with some
shrubbery growing from the soil that has
lodged in the crevices. Thence to Haw
thorn's Pool. This is a pool of compara
tively eddy water. It is said that a Mr.
Hawthorn was once bathing in this pool
and was drowned ; hence its name. Over
this pool is Diana’s Rest, which is a pro
jection of -the rock at the top of the preci
pice on the east side of the river. Here
the scenery is grand. We imagined Diana
of the Ephesians seated upon this elevated
point, and wondered if she would not look
more like a goddess than in her temple at
Ephesus. The next place is Tempesta
Falls, here the water rushes from its quiet
ness in Hawthorn’s Pool headlong over a
considerable fall. The grandeur of the
scene increases as we pass down the river,
the precipice of rock is still higher, and
upon the top over the Falls we beheld the
Throne of Eolus, which seemed to be sev
eral rocks placed together in some order
and extended over as if looking upon the
foaming, surging, waters far below. The
common question was—
“ Isn’t this grand !”
But they say something better yet, as
we pass on down the river. Here the path
is steep and narrow, and each helps the
other not only from a sense of pleasure,
but from necessity. The next place we
reach is Reed's Squeeze, and it is close,
sure enough, for each was compelled to
crawl through. We soon reached Hurri
cane Falls. There are three falls in one, the
water pours over and falls several feet and
strikes a rock, boils up and pours over
again, and again. By this time it is in a
foam as white as snow, and a mist rising
all the time. Here the beauty of the scene
is greatly increased. Language fails to ex
press the grandeur here displayed. One is
forcibly impressed with the contrast of the
quietude and firmness of the solid rock
that rises high above and the restlessness
and confusion of the waters that are run
ning deep below'. Sitting upon the rock at
the water’s edge, the question would arise,
*• Did this come by chance '< ’ J hen think,
look and listen for a moment, and as the
waters rushed against the solid rock thej r
seemed to echo the answer —“ No !
Leaving the grandeur here, we pass
Bruin’s Cave, and through the Needle s
Eye, which is a large rock, leaning against
another, where we have to crawl again.
While here someone called attention to
the fact that it was 12 o'clock, when it
seemed only a short while since eight in
the morning. It was soon agreed that we
take an hour or two for refreshment, and
with sharpened appetites by descents an
ascents we improved part of the time we .
Dinner over, w'e repaired to the Dallery
and called upon Dr. T. to try his skill
upon our group; he proved successfu .
He is a splendid artist. W e then turned
our attention to the Falls again.

The first place visited in the afternoon,
was the Devil's Pulpit. We had been in
view of it during the forenoon, but some
distance from it. This is a, very high
precipice. Tradition has it. that when the
Indians used to frequent that community,
that their voices would echo from this
point, and they conceived the idea that it
was the evil spirit speaking to them, and ,
that this was the stand from which he ,
spoke ; hence, it is called the Devil s Pul
pit. Caldona Cascade is just beyond the
Pulpit and is some higher. Thence to
Occanna Falls and Lover's Leap. 1 his is
one of the most frightful places we visited.
The point from which we look is a project
ing rock, and we can scarcely see the river
or forest below. It is said also of this
place, that when the Indians mhab, ed
this country, that an Indian youth as be
trothed to a daughter of one of their chiefs
who opposed their cohabitation, and was
in pursuit and about to capture them.
The > young brave knew that if captured it
would be torturing death, and rather than
be murdered in their barbarous manner, he
leaped headlong from this precipice into
the chasm below. His lover, seeing that
he was gone, threw herself over likewise,
and they were torn, mangled, and died to
gether. That was true love! Leaving
this, we passed on to the Student s Ros
trum. Stopped here for a few moments,
and proceeded to visit the Grand Chasm.
Here we made a descent of more than one
hundred yards to reach the me . ,
a grand chasm. The river runs rapidly
over a rock bed. and just across the river
is a continuation of the steep ro ' . ,
wc saw at Ladorc Falls, and to our 0 ,
VOL. 11-NO. 9.
on the west, is a high rock over'fwhich a
stream of water is continually leaping.
1 his resembles Toccoa Falls. During the
day, as we beheld the beauty and grandeur
that was displayed, we could fully adopt
the sentiment of the Psalmist: "The fool
hath said in his heart there is no God."
Seeing that nightfall would soon he upon
us, with reluctance wc turned our faces
from one of the grandest scenes in nature,
and made our way toward the Hotel.
From the fatigue of the day rest was sweet.
Wednesday morning, the rain was fall
ing rapidly, but notwithstanding this all
was made ready, and we took a southward
course. The rain continued all day.
About dark, farewells had been given, our
company had disbanded, and we were each
enjoying the comforts of a good wood tire.
Mt. Yonah is imposing, the scenery of the
Blue Ridge is impressive, but wc can never
forget thee, grand Tallulah !

Hayes’ Refusal lo AppointJKx-flovernor
Johnson to the Mnp rente Ilenc-h.
Savannah Xetvt.
Many in this State who have been in
clined to make the best of Mr. Hayes un
der the circumstances, to shut their eyes
to the glaring fraud by which he was
counted into the Presidency, ami to re
ceive his professions of reconciliation and
good will toward the South in good faith,
will have their confidence not a little shaken
by his obstinate refusal to avail himself of
the best possible opportunity of proving
his sincerity. Strong influences have been
brought to bear upon Mr. Hayes to induce
him to till the vacancy on the Supreme
Bench by appointing a gentleman from the
immediate South to that position. The pe
culiar fitness of cx-Governor Hersehel V.
Johnson, of Georgia, has been urged upon
him by those who felt that they had claims
on his confidence. Without this, however,
the national reputation of Judge Johnson
as one of the ablest jurists in the Union,
the peer of any Judge who has occupied
a seat on the Supreme Bench, should have
been sufficient to justify his appointment,
and when we consider his well known con
servative character, his past eminent public
services and exalted personal worth, when
we consider that his appointment was
specially solicited by Mr. Stephens and
other Southern endorsers and admirers of
Mr. Hayes, we can account for his rejection
on no other hypothesis than that Mr.
Hayes, notwithstanding his professions to
the contrary, is to-day as fully imbued as
ever with tfiat narrow spirit of sectional
prejudice and jealousy that so thoroughly
characterizes the Radical party. If he had
sought an opportunity to restore, in part
at least, to the highest judicial tribunal its
lost character and dignity, and at the same
time to give to the Southern people a sub
stantial proof of the sincerity of his pro
fessions of restored confidence and good
feeling, he could not have had a better one
than the appointment of ex-Governor John
son would have afforded. But. true to
his political instincts, he has rejected the
claims of the South, degraded the best in
terests of the country and ignored the
wishes of his new made Southern admirers,
and given the position w hich the venerable
ex-Governor Johnson would have filled
w ith so much ability, to a Radical partizan,
so far as w r e know, in no respect his com
peer. And this, too, after his Atlanta
banquet and the eulogiums of Mr. Stephens
and his Gerogia entertainers. Mr. Hayes’
decision has not disappointed us. We
shall see whether it has the effect to cool
the ardor of his Southern apologists and
admirers.
Hr. Stephens In New York.
A breakfast party was given to Hon. A.
11. Stephens, of Georgia, by Hon. Fernan
do Wood at New York Saturday. Mr.
Stephens was accompanied by Mr. Robt,
Toombs and Gen. P. M. B. Young, of
Georgia. The World says :
Among the persons invited to meet the
distinguished Georgian were the Cardinal
Archbishop of New' York, Mr. Charles
O’Conor, who moved as briskly and bore
himself as brightly as a youth; Mr. Au
gustus Schell, who came in smiling like a
victorious sachem with the scalps of his
foemen dangling at his belt; ex-Mayor
Tieman. Mr. Gordon W. Burham and the
Rev. Dr. Peters, of St. Michaels Church.
The Cardinal Archbishop, who was un
able to be present, sent the following
cordial note to Mr. Wood :
Dear Sir : I beg you to accept my best
thanks for your kind invitation, which I
regret to say it will not be in my power to
accept, owing to other engagements. It
would give me much pleasure to meet your
distinguished guest and to congratulate
him personally on his improved state of
health. Be pleased to present to him my
best regards, and accept for yourself the
assurance of high consideration and esteem
with which I am, dear sir, very respect
fully yours,
John, Cardinal McClobkky
Archbishop of New York.

HARTWELL, GA., WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 24, 1877.
The Meeting of CwctrM*
gjr
Congress convened in extra mfajMpn at
Washington on ths st„ and as this
is the first session of the body elected last
fall, the first business before it was organ
ization. Clerk Adams,, of the former Con
gress, called the roll of delegates, recog
nizing those having certificates from Gov
ernor Nicholls, in Louisiana. Objections
to the roll were made by the Republicans,
but were voted down by the Democrats,
and an election for officers was proceeded
with. The Democrats had nominated Hon.
Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, m
caucus for Speaker, and the Republican
caucus had nominated Jpen. Garfield, of
Ohio. These were the only candidates for
the position, and the vote when taken
stood : Randall, 149; Garfield, 132.
Speaker Randall, on taking the chair,
made the following temperate and sensible
address :
Gentlemen of the House ok Repre
sentatives : Elevated for the second time
by your generosity, to the dignity of
Speaker of this House, I thank you with a
grateful heart. I shall endeavor, with
even temper and rigid firmness, to perform
the duties of the office, and respond ade
quately to the confidence reposed in me,
by conforming my action to the clearly ex
pressed will of the Housit Yet, fully re
alizing the delicacy and difficulty of the
position, 1 solicit your advice and assis
tance, feeling sure of your forbearance and
indulgence. We meet under circum
stances imperiously demanding that all
considerations of class, lection and party
shall be subordinated to the loftier and
more patriotic abject of doing what is the
best for the whole country and all its
people.
Since the adjournment, an administra
tion has been inducted into office which is
obeyed as the actual government, regard
less of the grave events which marked its
birth, and this House animated by a spirit
of true patriotism, desiring first the pub
lic tranquility, under the law. will frankly
approve any sincere and permanent policy
looking to complete pacification and the
advancement of all constitutional methods
for the general public welfare, and it should
be your sacred duty to provide legislation
which will render impossible a repetition
of the wrongs which have occurred and of
the dangers which threatened us.
1 assume you will take no step back
ward in the work of retrencement and re
form, so auspiciously begun by the last
House under a mature and definite plan of
reduction of the expenses of the govern
ment. It is certain that a still greater re
duction can be made without impairing
the efficiency of the administration. To
have an honest administration, it should be
frugal. Never before was it more urgent
than now. With general financial distress
and labor depressed, when the iron rule of
hard necessity darkens every house in the
land, extravagance on the part of the peo
ple’s servants would be an unpardonable
crime. It is partly because this whole
some policy was so faithfully carried out
that I am permitted to speak from this
place.
Invoking for our deliberations tolerance
of opinion, which secures harmonious ac
tion, right and clear judgment, which puri
fies legislation, and hoping that mutual
confidence and respect will subsist be
tween the House and its presiding officer,
I am now ready to take the oath prescribed
by law'.
He then took the iron-clad oath.
All the members present were sworn in
except Cain and Rainey from South Car
olina ; Darrel, Elam and Robertson of
Louisiana, and Pacheco, of California, w r ho
were objected to, and requested to stand
aside. The House will under any circum
stances, have a Democratic majority of at
least fifteen. Its organization w'as com
pleted by the election, in one resolution,
of George M. Adams, of Kentucky, as
Clerk ; John G. Thompson, of Ohio, as
Sergeant-at-Arms; John W. Polk, of
Missouri, as Doorkeeper; James M. Stew
art, of Virginia, as Postmaster, and Rev.
Dr. John Poissct, of Maryland, as Chap
lain.
The Senate was organized last March,
and therefore pending the organization of
the House, no business was transacted by
it. The Republicans have been caucussing
as to the course to pursue in the cases of
Butler, from South Carolina, and the Demo
cratic Senators from Louisiana. It is prob
able they will be admitted upon a split
Republican vote. The first fight upon
President Hayes’ Southern policy and civil
service reform will be made in the Senate
over the confirmation of his Federal ap
pointments. Such of these as arc fair men
will no doubt be confirmed by the Demo
cratic vote, combined with a portion of the
Republicans ; but wherever the Democrats
are disposed to reject, there is very little
doubt that they will be able to succeed.
This session will no doubt be one of the
most interesting ever held, and will do
much to settle the aspect of the next can
vass for the Presidency.

Work on the Greenwood branch of the
proposed Augusta and Knoxville Railroad
is progressing satisfactorily. Gen. P. H.
Bradley writes that he has graded in length
about 450 feet per day since he commenced
on the 24th ult. The question. “ What is
Augusta doing?” is put to him daily, and
he invariably and confidently answers,
“ Augusta will meet us at the river. '
Major W. K. Bradley spent two weeks
recently among the people on the line of
the valley branch, from Dorn's Mine to
Anderson. Subscriptions to the amount
of i?ik),(MIO were obtained in aid to the road
between the points last mentioned. This
valley branch wilt doubtless be built; it
will prove an excellent feeder to the Au
gusta and Greenwood Road. The projec
tors of the line are satisfied that they will
be able to raise ifrtSO.tMM) additional—enough
to grade the route, buy the cross-ties and
build the bridges. This information should
reassure our citizens and prompt a sub
stantial response to the inquiries which
come so naturally from our friends m
South t’afolina, touching what we propose
to do. Indeed, we should no longer speak
of what we "propose to do," but give un
earnest of our purpose by doing something
at once. Let us raise President Wholes**
hands and hold them by authorizing him
to inaugurate the work on this side of the
Savannah. This action would enthuse our
friends across the river and bring to the
support of the enterprise hero those who
are inclined to doubt and are indisposed to
subscribe to the road which must inevitably
benefit our city largely.
Every citizen of Augusta is interested in
this work, and we believe that they are
only waiting for the opportunity to mani
fest the interest they feel. As soon as
i)!00,(MM) shall have been subscribed. Pres
ident Wheless will order dirt broken and
the work will go steadily forward.

It appears that a young man named
Jubal Shine arrived in Datroit two days
ago on one of tho up river boats. It also
appears that in due course of time be was
found drunk in an alley and taken to the
station house, and from thence sent to the
House of Correction for thirty days. He
left behind him a memorandum book. It
would seem from the entries that Mr.
Shine is a young man who desires to keep
himself posted, and that he is also a close
observer of tilings, and a warm friend of
bis mother. The first entry was made ns
soon as he arrived. It reads :
" Heats anything I ever saw ! Saw four
locomotives just now in one yard ! Saw
more’ii a hundred barrels of flour in one
pile ! Saw' over forty horses soon as I got
off the boat! Saw almost three policemen
the first thing! Wish ma was here."
After an interval of half an hour he wrote
again ;
" Counted 347 people on the streets in
ten minutes, am! tisn’t Fourth of July,
either ! Saw aver three hundred grind
stones piled up before one place ? Counted
eighteen telegraph wires on one post!
Wish ma was here.”
He probably waited awhile again before
making his third entry, which reads:
"I’ve counted more’n sixty stores al
ready? Never saw such a place for stores
in all mv life ! Believe I’ve seen over two
hundred women 1 Just went by a store
where over thirty pairs of breeches were
hanging out ! Wish ma was here."
Some hours must have elapsed before be
wrote again, as he began :
“I’ve seen over a million things? Be
lieve I’ve seen over six hundred people!
I’ve walked over a mile, ami havent come
to the end of the city yet! Boys and girls
walk right along the same as anybody
else, and I heard a boy gassing a man who
sells peanuts ! Guess I’ve beard as many
as seven bells at different tunes, and 1
came pretty near seeing three dog fights !
I larndest place any one ever see for houses !
Them things you call street cars run on
wheels and won’t turn out for nothing !
Wish ma was here.”
Some time during the evening he wrote :
" Begin to feel as if I had alw'ays lived
here. Man asked me w hat time ’twar, and
I told him just as naturally as if I had lived
here ten years ! Got two of the darndest
best meals I ever had! Let a feller take
as much butter as he wanted to! Just
had a drink ! Greenhorn from the country
was treating me to beer! Wish ma was
here.”
Ilis last entry was perhaps made by
starlight, after getting into the alley. The
hand was unsteady, and some of the words
ran clear across the page. It reads :
“Saw rnore’n a hundred greenhorns from
the country ! Sat down here to cool off
and klect my thoughts! Drank lota o’
beer, but it’s hard on the beer as on me !
Sheems be good place here—guess I’ll
sthay all nize ! Wozzer—wozzer—w-h—
--w ish ma waz—hie —here !”
The New York Sun continues to pour
hot shot into the Administration wigwam
without mercy and without judgment. It
seems to us Mr. Hayes is less to blame
than the Democrats who aided in passing
and carrying out the Electoral bill. The
fraud was execrable and inexcusable, but
Hayes bad nothing to do with it, and now
that he is on the Democratic line and is
pursuing a policy so nearly acceptable to
the good men of all parties, the bitter war
fare of the “ independent ” paper is as
senseless as it is unjust. Let the Presi
dent alone till he does something to de
nounce.— Gainesville Eagle.

When Alexander H. Stephens called
upon the President the other day to urge
Herschel V. Johnson for the Supreme
Court Judge, he said : “Mr. President,
you know that Mr. Johnson, like myself,
was a Union man at the beginning of the
secession movement, but when our State
went out of course we felt it our duty to
follow its fortunes.” The President inter
rupting. said : “ All that makes no dif
ference now, Mr. Stephens; all our citi
zens are equal in my eyes.”
The Bainbridgc Democrat makes some
predictions: “ There will not be ten

tion. The capital will remain in Atlanta.
The sixteen hundred dollar homestead will
be adopted, and Georgia will becojnc the
most prosperous state in the Union.”

The Vloniiiiiir <>l the Ohio Election.
Sew York Sun.
The election in Ohio is an event of im
mense significance and moment, and its
meaning is plain.
It is anew and powerful justification of
popular government. It. shows that tho
people of this important State perfectly un
derstand their moral and political interests,
and are able, when great questions are
placed before them, to examine intelligent
ly and decide firmly, justly, and wisely.
It condemns the conspiracy which in
stalled Rutherford B. Haves in the White
I ouse ; and w itb the hand of bis ow n Stute,
it marks deeper and blacker upon bis brow
the brand of Fraud first triumphant in
American history.
It condemns and rebukes Mr. Hayes’
unconstitutional and tyrannical edict re
specting the civil service, and puts down
the illegal sham of reform with which he
and bis confederate* have done their best
to prevent and postpone the real reform of
evils i:: that departmeut of our public af
fairs. *
It condemns the project for a great
standing army, to be maintained at tho
public expense for the benefit ol a military
aristocracy, for the special protection of
railroad corporations, and for the use of
future political conspirators.
It condemns the lesser fraud of which
Mr. Hayes has made the Republican party
guilty, that of conducting a Presidential
canvass upon a certain set of. principles
and a clearly defined policy, and then, after
getting into power, immediately turning
around, renouncing those principles, re
versing that policy, and attempting to car
ry on the Government upon the principles
and the policy of the opposing party.
It clears up the political atmosphere,
confirms the permanence of our republican
institutions, and allords a starting point
for anew era of constitutional and upright
government in this country. The Ameri
can people may well regard it with pro
found and earnest gratitude toward
Heaven.
