Tliat the the phase -of politics repre
sented by those who style themselves
independent democrats is opposed to
true Democracy is a self-evident
fact. The independents loudly disclaim
against the truthfulness of the fact, but
their course in everv campaign only
furnishes positive evidence that inde-
pendentism, as practiced in Georgia, is
diametrically opposed to the principles
of true Democracy.
Let os see what independentism is.
We are of the opinion that? .the inde
pendents themselves are unacquainted
with the true significance of the, word.
Their omy motto seems to be “opposi
tion to the organized,” and they pro
fess to be independent of the action of
“cliques, rings and conventions.” They
claim to be Democrats, while trying to
demoialize the party. They claim to
be representatives, of a party, to which
their actions proclaim them violently
opposed. They are independent of all
organizations in the face of the divine
assertion that a house divided against
itself cannot “live. They profess an ut
ter abhorence of cliques, when tbo po
litical life of every prominent advocate
of their ism is absolutely dependent
upon cliques of personal friends. Their
objection to rings is ridiculous, when
we consider the fact that every one of ■
their candidates who has been
before the people, became a candidate
only through the action of a ring that
was exceeding limited in its circumfer
ence. ‘ In their eyes, nominating con
ventions are most abominable affairs,
yet their candidates come forth
accredited only by the high esteem in
which they hold themselves, and sanc
tioned by a self-constitnted sub conven
tion of sore-head place hunters and self
ish personal friends. Independentism,
in being independent of Democratic
conventions,. is dependent upon the
good will and assistance of republicans.
Independentism strikes a blow at the
success of Democracy, and courts the
help of republicanism.
The independent leaders of Georgia
are men of great mental ability, and
some of them are possessed of much
personal magnetism and oratorical power
and as such they are powerful enemies
to the Democratic party, The prime
cause of the" origination of the party
was the failure of a district convention
lo nominate a man for congress who
had a strong personal following. This
Candidate immediately declared himself
independent' of
tions, rings and cliques,” appealed to
the ballot box as a higher tribunal and
was elected. In each campaign the
words “organized” “
“party lash,” “political tricksters,
“political cliques,” have formed the ba
sis of their appeals to the people, and
by exciting a .strong opposition to the
party a gainst which these terms were
sneeriugly hurled. Two districts in
Georgia are now represented by inde
pendents. These' independents have
more than once acted with the
republicans in Congress, and on one
notable occasion intho last campaign.
Aspiring men in almost every district in
the State are now preparing to enter
the list in opposition to the candidates
of the Democratic party. -
We do pot believe in the absolute
purity of the Democratic party, nor do
we approve of all its actions. But we
do bold tkat tke correct method of re ■
form is to do the work within the party.
We must repudiate tile corrupt mem
bers, and not iekhrey the parent ihsti-
tutionv The principles of Democracy are
well defined and wofthy, and we must
stand firm in our support bf, them. To'
destroy a true and -tried principle and
to go to sea in search o f a better is fol
ly that no wise man will commit. To
seek tbo assistance of republicanism is
-to endanger the success of Democra
cy. '
The Independents do not attack the
principles of Democracy, they only dis
claim against the’ methods by which
their ckndidates " are placed before the
Bepglp. If. nominating conventions
fail to do the will of a majority of the
people, will the people be benetitted if
ths personal friends of an aspiring can-
date put him in the field on an opposi
tion line? If the chosen delegates from
every county in a district cannot nomi
nate a man who will be acceptable to
the entire district, is it more likely
that : a man who proclaims himself a
candidate upon the strength of his own
ambition will come any nearer giving
satisfaction?^
If conventions fail in their duty, the
fanlt is almost sure to be fonnd ir tpe
manner of selecting these delegates.
Let each county select good men and
true Democrats to their conventions,
State, district and county, and the
nominations with the majority rule in
force, will not fail being the choice of
the majority of the people represent-
sd.
There are only two real parties
Georgia, or the entire Union, and any
thing or any body that opposes one as
sists the other The man. who does not
act and sympathize withe the democrat
ic party, is an ally to the republicans,
bis own assertion to the contrary not
withstanding.
We have briefly toadied this subject
in a comparative sense, hoping that
some of-onr readers, who rendered as
sistance to the Independents in the hist
congressional race, may see the Inde
pendents im their true light, and that
the true Democracy may receive the;
support of all who desire supremacy of
eorrect principles and good gdPniement
over corruption and radicalism.
We may treat this subject again in
some other pliase, during the coarse of

vius that 1 write, as extravagant and
nnreasanable as that may appear. A
depot on Vesuvius! The illusions dis
appear. _ On the 1st day of April one
can arrive by railroad at the crater at
2.260 metre (about 4000 feet) above the
level of the sea,.
Curiosity induced . me to see this ex
traordinary enterprise, and about the
realization of which I had some donbts,
I must confess. Profiting of one of
these magnificent days, although a lit
tle warm,- with 80 degress, I went to
the hermitage. Tt is there wheie the
new route for vehicles commences,
route of easy slope, leading to the de
pot, situated at the foot of Hie cone,
.3,200 metre abcve the observatory.
The engineer-director, H. Emolio Ol
ivieri, and the director-general; M. Ga-
mont, placed themselves kindly at onr
disposition to show ns the works, ma
chines and everything of interest.
The depot is elevated on a platform
overlooking the Gulf cf Naples. From
the centre of this platform the two
tracks-of the railroad rise with a veafi-
gmons ascent toward the crater. They
made use of the American prysmatic
system, with a doable iron cable-
Tliere are : two tracks, liach one of
them is formed of an immense beam
of rectangular wood Of 900 metre com
posed of pieces fitted into each other
supported by transverse pieces, to re
sist the pressure exercised by the trac
tion of ttie Cable.: Upon this beam the
rail is placed, which ascends thus to the
summit. To the right and left are cast-
irou pullies upon which the iron cables
slide. There are two cars, the Vesuvi
us and the Aetna. They are composed
of two compartments for six persons
each. '
The car* is supported by two central
wheels, one before and the other be
hind, and resting upon the rail. These
are the bearing wheels. Naturally the eq
uilibrium be. would unstable. Therofore
they are maintained by means of four
horizontal wheels, pressing lightly on
eacli side a small flat rail, laid on the
latteral parts of a central beam..
The traction is made by means of
two independent cables, pulling simul
taneously at the right and the left, slid-
& t'tli^ top. of the track around two
great ■} hollow pullies, placed parallel
with the rail.
I have.said above tliat the track was
corrupt rings dpnbl? Eaf . h ^ baSi therefo ^ itB
own track. One ascends when the
other descends, which establishes a-
kind of counterbalance and necessitates
less fotce of the steam engine.
And this point is important, when
we consider the rise or slope,' which
commences with 40 degress, rises to 50;
then to 63 and is still fifty at the
top.
All precautions seem to have been
taken against accidents. At first
brake is placed in front and managed
by the .conductor of the train. It is
composed of two steel j iws. provided
on the inside with points, which by a
climbing motion clasp with force from
both sides the exterior parts of the
Central beam. The points penetrate
the wood and stops the car without a
shock.
But this Case does not seem proba
ble, Fiir the tructiou takes place by
two cables, independent one from the
other.. We must therefore admit the
rupture of both at the same time. As I
have stated above, one car ascends
wliile the other descends. The track
has 900 metre. The time of a trip is
from 7 to 8 minutes. They can t .rt there
fore every ten minutes,
All this is perfect. Bat will Vesuvi
us permit his domicil to be violated in
that manner. Only two weeks ago, in
form of protest, he sent lava in the di
rection of him; whom he considered an
{intruder in his domain. Bat it seems
he repented; for he now spreads his evil
humor in the opposite direction.
In any case, the engineer, Olivieri,
has beaten Volcan with his own arms.
With the lava, wliile still warmahe has
constructed an enormous wall to pro
tect the bead of the road; a wall which
seems to be the rest of ramparts, ruins
of a gigantic and fantastic footstep.
Besides to reassure the visitors, if will
add that the sides selected is the most
sheltered, and the lava, when it flows
from the crater, spreads so slowly, that
it permits'to avoid danger. ^
By the side of the depot an elegant
cafe-restaurant is constructed. ‘ It is built
in pomplian style ai-d large enough to
contain oneTnmdred persons. A large
torruy extends before the colannaded
veranda. Nothing can give an idea of
the splender of the panorama. The
view extends over the whole gnlf of Na
ples, Castellamare, Sorrente, Capri,
Ischia-Procidia, the gnlf .of Gaete, that
of Baia, the luxuriant plain of Carerte,
etc. .
One great difficulty is the want of wa
ter. To remedy this, they hayejreconrse
to a very ingenious plan. That is. to
collect the rain-water id cisterns, by
means of large surfaces covered with
brick, in the sliape of a roof. Besides
this, they throw into the cistern the
snow, which has fallen this winter and
which will m It this spring by the exter
nal heat.
The steam engine, of 25 horse pow
er, is horizontal, system coupan. It
has been constructed at Pesth.—Trans-
la.e.1from the Courier des Etals-Uuis.
I do not ’ feel equat to the task,
was a big' thing..
The morning was a lovely one—at 9
o’clock the schools met at their respect
ive chnrehes to ask God’s blessing upon
ns, and to thank.Him that we had been
spared to see another anniversary day.
Just before 10 o’clock the Baptist school
formed two lines on both sides of the
front entrance to their chnrch, and
sang “The Children’s Jubilee” while
the Methodist- school inarched into the
chnrch between these lines.
The chnrch. which was beautifully
df corated, was already-more than full,
and it was with some difficulty that all
of the children could find seats. When
however, all’ were seated, the exercises
began wifh a review of the entire les
sons’ : in-ihe International Series from
January up to last Sabbath—the Super
intendents asking the questions and the
pupils froia. both schools answering
most promptly.'. These exercises were
the more interesting by the intersper-
sion of., beantifnl songs in which all : of
the children joined, being most ably led
at the orgau .by Prof. G. A. Minor; who
is teaching .a large., class at the factory
how to sjufi-
After,these exercises, short addresses
were made by Beys. B. F. Evans and
A. J. Cheves, and then the children
were marched to the table prepared for
them, and.a general invitation ; was giv
en to all.present to partake of the sump
tuous feast of nice barbecued meats,
ham, roast-;turkey, chicken, j.pies and
things, in abundance, under which the
table (more than 200 ft. in length) seem:
ed to groan.
After dinner lemonade was prepared
which was enjoyed by all. As there
were no further exercises, the children
were free to enjoy themselves tue re
mainder of the day bv jumping the rope,
swinging* -and in various games, all of
which they entered into m >st heartily.
The older people were amused by the
children, and. seemed to enjojr them
selves too.
Perry was well represented, but I re
gretted that you did not put in an ap
pearance. Fort Valley and Byron also
had their representatives. _ The crowd
was variously estimated at four, five,
and six hundred, and ail pronounced
tire 1 celebration a complete success.
Among the many fair young ladies
from our immediate neighborhood and
surrounding country, we were pleased
to have with.ns Miss Lane, of Athens,
Miss Johnson, of Gainesville, Miss Bar
ker, of Macon, Miss Bedding of Byron,£
and others whose names we failed to
obtain. So much was the day enjoyed
that many were loth to leave the beau
tiful grove, and it was not till near suu-
set that some left the grounds.
Very Truly <tc.,

CROPS IN HOUSTON.
Crop reports from different parts of
the county are varied. They are nei
ther good nor -bad invariably, in fact in
no two sections of the county do they
show any uniformity of condition.
Wheat is not good bv any means,
though a small crop will be made. The
rnstand hessian fly almost destroyed the
crop, but f he spring raius have caused
it to rally considerably, and about a
third of a crop will be made.
Oats were also badly damaged by the
fly, rnst, bugs, lice, etc., but probably a
half c-op wiil be made. We have heard
of two or three fields of good wheat in
the county, and good oatg are not so
rare.
Corn is generally doing well, and some
crops near town are very gc-od indeed,
and' we hear from different sections of
the county that tho corn outlook is
promising.
Cotton is not now locking as well as
the young grass. We have had a suc
cession of cool rains that have injured
cotton to a considerable extent; and
there is a? geueraL comblaint of -poi: r
stands, defective seed etc., and many
are planting portions of their’crops over.
There is a groat scarcity of good seed
The peach crop seems to be a failure,
little yoimg fruit is to be found, on f,ne
trees. Peach pies will be scarce this
