Gen. Grant propose to visit Mexico in a few weeks. Texas takes liquor in “hern.” She lias decided against prohibition. Mr. Garfield’s health lias commenced fail ing, owing to the severe strain put upon his energies by the importunate office seeker. The Baptist Banner will resume publica tion on the 6th day of this month. It has been moved to Gainesville, and will be en larged. The Gwinnett Herald has completed its tenth volume, and is justly exulting over the fact. Success to you, Brn. Peeples. May you and the Herald both live to complete several scores of volumes. Gen. Joseph E. Johnson has been spend ing the week in Atlanta. During his stay be was interviewed by a Post-Appeal reporter 'with but little satisfaction. In fact, the Gen eral was non committal, and did not pump worth a cent. The Attorney General has decided that the bonds of the tardy Tax Collectors and Receivers will be good, provided the bonds men agree to take no exceptions to them. This settles a question that was likely to pro duce confusion. The failure of the Rome bank will no doubt •suggest to our July legislators a change in the present law making certain banks State depositories. The matter should be arranged so that the State could lose nothing, even if •the bank holding the funds did go up. It is said that the young man General Lee’s •daughter was engaged to was hung as a spy by Garfield during his Tennessee campaign. — Exchange. That let’s us out. We were laboring under the impression that she was Koo young to have beaux during those trying times. A French colony will probably be located on the Air Line Railroad before long. They propose starting a large vineyard. The Air- Line authorities are certainly the most far seeing in their policy of any corporation. We would l ; ke for an} body in their territory to charge them with being grasping monpolists. It is announced that Gov. Colquitt will be in the race for United States Senator two years hence. Alf has already cleaned up one Ex United States Senator, and thinks there will be but little trouble in straddling the carcass of another one. But we can assure Mr. Colquitt that there will be no cancer on Ben Hill’s tongue when the tus9el comes off. Somebody has suggested the idea that Blaine will involve this Government in a for eign war in 1883 in order to secure the re election of Garfield. If Mr. Blaine knows the tenor of the American people, he will try most any other policy before be tries a for eign war. If we know the American people, that is al out the la9t thing at which they want to try their hand. The Bank of Rome, a bank doing business in Rome, Ga., failed last Saturday. It wa9 a State bank, aud also one of the State de positories, having on hand $53,868.33 of the State’s money. It is claimed, however, that the State will lose nothing, as it is protected t>y a bond that is perfectly solvent. The cause of the failure is attributed to heavy ad vances made on cotton shipments to New York and refusal of the New York bank to make the necessary advances. Mr. Garfield has decided that it will not redound to the benefit of his party to call an extra session of Congress, so he has conclud ed not to do so. He prefers to brave the Greenbackers rather than to displease the National Banks by adopting a three percent, funding bill. No doubt but what the Nation al Banks have promised to furnish him with the necessary funds to run his next campaign, and thusly buy up the disgruntled Green backers of Ohio and Indiana. Miss Belle Price, daughter of lion. W. P. Price, takes editorial charge of the Duh ji lmega Signal. We welcome her to the ranks of the high calling of tire fourth estate, trust ing that her connection with it may ba both pleasant and profitable. There is nothing which will more ennoble the profession and elevate it for good than woman's sweet and ennobling influence.”—- Camming Clarion. From henceforth we propose to exchange with Railroad News. The Directors of the Gainesville & Jeffer son railroad met in Gainesville last Tuesday | night and' transacted some very important I business and made some arrangements to j keep things moving. They have ordered one locomotive, ever so many coaches and box cars, and the iron to lay the entire track. They have also instructed the President to push the grading ahead as fast as possible. If this don't look like business, then we want to know what kind of evidence you want. You would not be convinced by miracles, if this won’t do the work. There are but two things now that can possibly retard the work —scarcity of labor ers and the backwardness of some of our stockholders at this end of the line, and the general mistrust most of them exhibit. The first difficulty is a hard one to contend with, but is by no means dangerous to the enter prise. The latter is a reproach to the sensible and thinking men of Jackson county. We have been trying all along to show, or rather to convince, the doubting ones that this railroad could be built, and that it is not hy any means such a terrible undertaking. At present the matter is in such a shape that success is certain, if all concerned stick up to their respective parts of the bargain. The only element of doubt in the work is at our end of the line; the only trouble is with the stockholders of Jackson county, and that they won’t pay up their installments. There is where the shoe pinches the enterprise, and you need not go away from home to find it. We reiterate the following facts, so that you may not forget them any more : There is enough money subscribed, by good parties, to grade the road from Jefferson to Gaines ville and put down the cross ties. Over half of this money, to wit: the Gainesville sub scription, is cash in hand. Whenever the road is graded and the cross ties are ready the Atlanta & Charlotte railroad will endorse the bonds of our road, so that we can get the iron and necessary rolling stock. All we have stated above are solid facts. Now please tell us where the weak point is, and remem ber that it takes three things to make, a suc cess of the enterprise, to-wit: The Gaines ville subscription, the Jefferson subscription, and the agreement of the Air-Line. The Air- Line stands ready to fulfill its part of the bargain just as soon as Jefferson and Gaines ville carry out their part. Gainesville has fulfilled her part, and shakes the money at us. Now what about the Jefferson subscription ? We leave the stockholders to answer where the doubt comes in and who are the laggards. Ob, Mr. Delinquent Stockholder, be careful when you throw cold water on and express doubts about the success of the enterprise, that you do not heap infamy upon your own head and proclaim to the world }*our own trcacherj*. Again : did it ever strike you, or did you ever think, what kind of men were engineer ing the enterprise ? Do you know who the President is, or any of the Board of Directors ? If you do, you certainly have never thought what kind of men the}' were, and how they stood in their respective communities. Think a moment, and then say if you believe they would deceive you or lead }ou into a trap. Then ask yourself the question, are such men likely to be deceived or allow their good judgment to forsake them in a matter of such importance? You certainly do not know what kind of a man you have as Presi dent of the enterprise, and j-ou throw a re proach upon his judgment every time j r ou say the enterprise is likely to fail, or is not based upon sound business principles. He knows no such word as fail, and this is not the firstgreatenterprisethathe has engineered through a troublesome existence to success and prosperity, lie has gone too far now to turn back, and he is too good a leader to consider such a thing. Then, taking all things into consideration, the road is bound to come. Delinquent stockholders can only delay its progress, but can never slop it. And in doing so, they deprive themselves of its benefits and the prosperity it will bring. Correct. At the last term of the Elbert county Superior Court Allen Blackwell was found guilty of murder and sentenced to be hung on the 13th day of next May. Now, there is nothing very unusual in the above statement, for, we regret to say, owing to the condition of morals in this State, hangings are by no means uncommon. Yet, in the present in stance we find a wholesome departure from the ordinary mode of procedure in such cases, which is that the Judge has ordered the han<* o ing to be private ; the legal murder is to he witnessed only by the relatives and friends of the doomed man and the proper officials. We cannot refrain from expressing our ap probation for Judge Pottle, of the Northern circuit, in thus changing the customary method of vindicating outraged justice. It is generally supposed that public hangings have a salutary influence upon the people, and deter them from the commission of crime. To our minds this is all nonsense, and serves as a very poor warning. The people of this county have had several of these supposed crime preventatives in the last few’ years, but we have never yet seen or heard of the first person that would say that they had exerted l>eneficial influence, but, on the con trary, they have pandered to the brutal in stincts of the crowd in ever}* instance. We do not propose to go into the discussion of our side of the subject, but we have arrived at our conclusions after mature deliberation upon the subject, and we have simply noticed the matter in order to put our vote on record on the question. • - # Noticef Grang.ers.
