Cleveland, Ueurgia, May 8 , 1880 .
SSi
The Mountain Signal, (Dablonega)
comes to U3 considerably enlarged, and
a patent outside.
The distress in parts of Ireland, from
reports of Mr. Win.' Thompson/ Chair¬
man of the relief Committee, seems to
be increasing. All the poor are wholly
in want cf food.
A National prohibition reform Cons
vencion is to meet in Cleveland Ohio-on
the 17 th of June Loxt, fer the purpose
of nominating candidates for President
and President. Whether it amounts
to anything or not, it is a good move,
and in our opinion has an uward ten¬
dency .
TEE SAD CONDITION OF AN ED¬
ITOR.
Ton can see from the following para¬
graph, written by some sensible editor,
we suppose, the situation in winch an
editor is placed
•'If an editor omits anything he is
lazy, if he sneaks of anything as it is,
people are mad. If he smooths down
the rough points, he is bribed. If he
calls things b.y their proper names, he
is unfit for the position of an editor.
1-f he does ■ not furnish his readers
with jokes, he is a mullet. If he does,
he ie a rattle-head—lacking stability.
If ho ccodemus the wrong, he is a good
fellow bat lacks discretion. If he
wrongs and injuries go unmontioned, he
is a coward, if be indulges in person¬
alities, he is a blackguard; If he does
mot, his paper is dull and insipid.”
His troubles do not stop here. He
is destined to have somo dealings with
some of the meanest people in all the
woTld, and thus w-este much of his cash
and labor upon those who are unworthy,
and undeserving of anything short of
the chain-gang.
■Our short experlonce as editor has
taught us that, the only safe way for an
editor is to press forward, doiog his du¬
ty as far as he is able; condemn all that
is wrong: encourage >r ,ijiat is right
f»ncL goo*! .^takhiwr ’■
cut he
tpeaks the better he' iSceeds, His
.aghts in a free and independent govern¬
ment like ours, are eqnal to those of
any one else. He has a perfect right
to express his opinion on any and every
matter of interest before the people.
Editors, like all other men of the pres -
ent day, are imperfect, and liable to err,
and wo think it a very weak point in a
man’s generosity to condemn an editor
because ha honestly and conscientiously
expresses an opinion contrary to thair
own. What is an editor worth who
forsakes his principles and his birth¬
right for the Hake of a little personal
favor ? What does the people think
of such an editor*? What coDfiidence
have they in an editor who is drifted
about by every passing, seemmgly pop
ular current? You cannot but answer,
that he is not ouly unworthy the title
of editor, but the respect of every hon¬
est and true person.
Now, we say, as we said iu the outset,
we do not desire to hare much to do
with politics, neither do we intend to
■unless we are u justly attacked, and
ierced to defend our rights and princi¬
ples, We have never had much to do
with politics, neither have we desired
to, it is not suited to our nature. Our
object is to build up our section of the
good old State of Georgia, by encourag¬
ing every good institution now iu exis
tance, and to aid, so far as we may be
able, in the construction of others, that
would be beneficial to the masses of our '■
people. !
Now, as a free man, in a free country,
if a man, it matters not who he is, or'
where be comes from, does what wo
conceive to be a good aDd wise act, if
;t comes to our knowledge, we expect!
o gtv e due credit and praise for it, and
if he does what we conceive to be a bad
and unwise act, we sha 1 in like manner
rebuke, provided the interests of our
wttntry are involved ,n such acts. We

GOLD!
‘‘Seeing is believing, arm feeling is : he
Dp/aed truth.” We believed that Jesse
Lnmsden bad a uugget of gold weigh
mg over three hundred pesuy weights,
here this week for wo saw it, and we
know he had it because we had it in our
own hands. We are a poor hand to de¬
scribe anything or we would try to give
the shape of this nugget, suffice it to
say that it was gold, and taken from
the richest mine that has ever been dis
'covered in this county, but we have uo
doubt, there is an immense quantity of
this hidden treasure yet to ho taken
from Mother earth, bocause successful
mining has been going on in this couu
try farther back than we can remember,
yet new and richer discoveries continue
to , be made. , The greatest advantage ,
about, the Lumsden mine is, that very
little labor and expense is required to
obtain the precious metal, giving such
a great / yield of clear proflit. Th is
"
mine is . situated , in . Nacoochee „ T , Valley, ,, ,,
and is on the John L. Richardson pro
petty, and near the residence where
the old gentleman, Mr. Richardson has
lived for many years and raised his
family. Think for a moment how many
families are living in White county, and
perhaps, many of them walking every

wil! no doubt, in a tew years be discov
ered, dug out, coined, and put into gen- ■

Mr. Editor; In your paper of the

Please allow me as one of the
to express the opinion, that we have had
euough of Joseph E. Brown for Gover¬
nor, as we have had enough cf B. S.
Grant for President. It these gentle¬
men are not satisfied, the one with four
terms as Govornor, and the other with

Mr. Editor; We have road the Btir
riog and patriotic letter cf Col. Harde¬
man in response to an appeal of the
citizens of Houston, Co., to allow his
name to go before the people as a can v .
didate for Governor. After reading the
letter, and the declarations therein
made, that he will not allow his name
to be used to create division in the
democratic party, for which he has
been battling, and for which he has la¬
bored in all part? of Georgia, I am
reminded that the first and maiden
political speech of this silvered tongued
