As wa rode out of - Morganton, we met a

As soon as tbe witness and the prisoner

unique trial proceeded. The solitary wit

apufce so totally that th* .who!* party heard
him and had ihe laugh on the attorney.
As we passed on toward Blainwille a still
more remarkable c urt was held. A man
named Anderson was accnsed of illicit re
tailing. He is a helpless cripple and has not
lieen out of his house for years, ft was
evident that no punishment rraid be in
dicted on him even it he were guilty, amt
the commissioners turned otr the road to
go by his home and dispose of the WArraut.
He is a miserable specimen of manhood.
as we approached he seemed frightened,
evidently supposing that we bad come to
drag him away. The evidence against him
proved nothing, and he was acquitted. On
questioning Anderson as to his affliction, I
found he had tried all sorts of remedies
to cure the rheumatism, which has
shrivelled his limbs. At lait he sup
posed he had found a method of
perfect restoration. An old colored doctor
recommended it and he took it like a man.

A I.ITTI.K EXCITrD.
On returning to Blairsville, I found that
some copies of Thr Cosktitutiox, aonlain-
ing accounts of the extraordinary proceed
ing* of tbe revenue powes in the moun
tains, had reached that town. Some of tbe
special agents and some of the raider*
seemed very much hurt at such
reports of their conduct. 1
have not written one statement that
wa* not furnished me by authority which I
could not doubt. I have everywhere con
versed with prominent ciliz-ns, and I
find among the representative meu of this
.section the strongest disapproval of the
methods adopted by the./evenu*officials, as
well as serious objections to the character
of many of the men employed to raid
through this county. There ara many
strong republicans here, and sonic of the
severest comments on these motter* that I
have heard have been made by them. I
Hod everywhere a feeling that the
people in these mountain cranties
luve been maliciously slaudcreJ. There
} bad men here as there are in all
aimunities. hut the mas* of the peorde
arc not chargeable with any i!Dres|*-ci for
any law, slate or federal. 1 have before ini
the full report of the commissioner of rev
enue on the condition of matters here.
The telegrams sent him from Atlanta are
the wildest exaggerations of ihe troth. In
iliem the people of tbe*e counties arc ac-
cu*ed of rcbeiliion ag-tinst the lawful au
thority of the United States nnd of all
kinds of lawlessness. I have been through
this country for ten day* past, always in
company with United State* officials ami
1 have never seen more respect paid to au
thority or more genuine courtesy extended
gentlemen. I have seen single depul its
fur miles through districts where
rejvjrt said no man’s life
safe, ride from house to house, arrest men
who in these wild reports wore ctiled do*
peradoea. and summon score* of witnesses,
and yet come out without having heard a
haish word. More than this. There has
not Iwien a day since the appointment of
commissioner at Blairsville hut what men
accused of violating the revenue laws have
voluntarily come in. and giving themseive*
up, have asked a hearing before the law.
There seems to be on all hand* u dartre to
free the country of this enrsj of illicit dis
tilling. Men are abandoning it, and public
sentiment i* setting (irmly against it. 1
trust the revenue officials are not hurt be

Mr. Chief Justice Waite, in giving Uie
a iinion of the court, took strong ground.
e declared that the legislatuic which
granted the charter had ro authority to
bargain away, for a certain jerc:auge of
th* lottery profits to bo paid over to it, the
police power of the state in the regulation
of tbe public morals. We have it now of
record, as the opinion of our highest judi-
cial tribunal and court of last resort, that
lotteries are demoralizing in their effects,
are against public policy, and are to be
treated like other nui«mces; they
are a spreies of gambling; that
they disturb tbe check * ard balances
of a well-ordered roci*-ty; that they
multiply the number of speculators anil
gamblers, “living on the expectation of
what chance may award them iruai the ac
cumulation* of others.” Government, the
chief justice held, cannot t y any law divest
itself of the power to interi*ose and to sup-
pies* whatever has proved noxious and cor-
rupring. Ttds reserved right is based upon
ground* of public pdicyaud tbe duty of
legislator* to guard acainst whatever may
be injurious to sucic y at large. When a
lottery charie r is granted, it is wiib the im
plied xe>erv»riou that il may at any time be
abrogated should the public good lequire it.

Why should he be, when our moralist* for
nearly a century have been demonstrating
that gambling is sure to ruin the credit, the
character, the material prosperity of those
who engage in it? Common people almost
always speak of "playing in the lottery.”
It is instinctively felt that such
"peculations differ only in name
and method from “fighting the
tiger” and risking money on the turn of
card* and dice, or upon tbe rolling of a
hall. What the chief justice really means
is that lotteries entail poverty, bankruptcy,
iotemperance. family suffering, and possi
bly suicide. We have now tbe opinion of
the supreme court and that of Mr. G.-T.
Beauregard respecting tbe legality of lot

gions must be rich iu this mineral, and
the indomitable xeal and perseverance
that characterized the Califor
nia miner soon developed this
idea, and this branch of miniug soon be
came a* important, nnd even more remu
nerative than either placer or quartz min
ing, and this too when wages were from $1
to per day, end all supplies and mater
ial* equally a* high, aud difficult to get in
to the mountains, which were in many
places almost iuacce&dble, and remote from
tran*|Kirtation.
But how is it here in Georgia, where pro
bably as much gold ho* been taken out of
placer and quartz ruining according to the
amount of capital and labor employed as
in California.
The smaller streams, such as the Yahoola.
Cane creek ami similar streams have beeu
pretty well worked, and according to the
statements of llioee who did the work they
paid well for the effort. But such streams
a* tbe Chestatee, Etowah and Cuattahoo-
chee arc to day comparatively untouched.
It is true that in a few places easy to get at,
the old miner* have boat-shoveled as best
they could, and gougod into the bed*
through water waist deep and have taken
out more in ihi* way than they could in
>e same tune in the placer deposits.
In time post some companies have been
inranized and new-fangled machinery put
place that was adapted to almost any-
g el*3 but river miuiug, and of course it
a failure, but that is in* criterion to go
by that these rivers will not pay. We
cunli lent that there are many places on
Chestatee that will pay largely for the espi
al invested and labor expended, when
ightly worked by flumes, canals or proper
machinery.
It must be already manifest to every
miner that from the meandering course of
tht'M) river* running with the gold belt, and
different point* cutting across the many
. -ii veins that traverse the entire belt, and
receiving the wrshings of the numberless
smaller streams that empty into them, that
many millions are to-day laving on the
bottom and imbedded iu the crevices of the
k, aud only awuiliug capital and en
terprise to get them out.
it is trn« there are difficulties attending
this bianch of mining in Georgia, but with
agciueni and good judgment
under competent and experieneja miners
these may be all overcome.

made some efforts to get a; the bed of the

scheme towaid* a t norough working of the
river, and the property they own is admira
bly situated for working aod the location
such as to make it a valuable property, and
when worked a* it should and must be, the
result will be ^lisfaciory 1 have not
doubt.
It is to be hoped that they will see the
initiative in this* branch of raining and
commence operations at an early day. and
in this enterprise if rightly done, they may
be assured oi an abuuuant succ-ss.
We hope the day is not far off when
some of the capital that seeks mining
vestments here will be divided from quarta
and turned to the river channels, and once
employed there properly, with all the ad
vantages of c..eap labor, convenient, trans
portation* and ail the supplies needed
hand, the yield will undoubtedly pay
large prod; on the investment.
This is so clear to any one experienced
river mining that it is surprising that all
these available place* have not been worked
oat long since, aud as you well say that if
these streams were in California
the same disadvantage* exist-
there a* here, and the high rale
of "wages snd ail the local disadvantage*

ed of the last ounce twenty years ago. and
fortunes would have been mode oy the

now at the bottom cl the streams on this

to remain under water much longer, but

The fold has been surveyed the whole way,
and people are already building ou it* line.
They look on it as a certainty at au esrly

What will the road cost?

the road can be built for less thau$50.iKX) in

McBride A Co., and Hunt, llmkin A Laiuar,
have taken stock liberally. Other Atlanta
merchants would if they would look into
the subject.”
How will this road help Atlanta?
In many ways. I will guarantee it will
increase the trail© of the city a baif u mil
lion dollars the first year. The immense
supplies for the mine* above here have to
be wagoned at lea?t 23 miles now and the
charges are 75 cents per hundred. The
road* from here are so rough that much of
these supplies are ordered from the north
and put off at Lula City to find abetter
road across the country.
Then this new road would open to Atlanta
_ monopoly of the trade in all the north
eastern counties. Many of their merchants
now go to Knoxville for their supplies. 1
do not estimate this increase in the figures
given. It would be immense. The mines
alone consume k euormous supplies wriiich
must be carried over our road.
“The advantages of this road lo your
country would be great, of course?”
“i don’t think we can realize how much
it would help us. It would oj»cn a vast,
rich and utterly undeveloped region whose
wealth no man cau compute. It would es
tablish the mining interests of Georgia
firmly beyond failure. There is in these
mountains mure gold to-day than there is
in California, and we can’t get it out with
present facilities. Even in the present im
perfect system of mining Lumpkin county,
reeky aud sterile, a* much of it is, turns
out of its soil more wealth evey year
than the aggregate crops of the
four best farming counties iu the state.

CENF.KAL OOKPON’s RESIGNATION.
sitei* States Senate Cnamber. Washing-
, D. C., May 1% 1SSX—To His Excellency,
reruor A. II. Colquitt, Atlanta. Go.—Sir: I
hereby tender to you my ^resignation as Unlicd
States senator from Georgia.
Iu Likins this step I am simply carrying out a
:jg cherished desire to retire from public life. ’
have hitherto subordinated that desire ton
nse of duty aud to my reluctance to leave the
Tvice of a noble and generous people who havo
honored me wifit the most exalted station and
supported me ia the discharge of Its duties with
unswerving confidence.
Since April, 1 £01—for nearly twenty years—my
life ha* been one of inocaaact anxiety and o! groat
labor. For more than one-half oi that long period,
her iu war or in public office, my energies
vo been devoted to what I conceived to he the
lfarc of tho southern people and tho best iu-
csia of tlie whole conntry. And now that the
iteration of Louisiana and South Carolina to
the rights of self-government, secures to the en-
ath her full nnd rightitil representation in
the legislative department of the federal govern
ment, my most cherished object in politics has
wseu attained. I run leit free .hcrefore t*> consult
my inclinations tud the imperative interests of
my family, without the least detriment u> the
public service.
I give way to some successor who will, I tru-1,
nerve the country with greater ability than my
self; but who, lam sure will not do *o, with
greater devotion or purer motives. I am most
respectfully your obedient servant,
J. It, Gobdon.

Judge K. M. Butt, of Buena Vista, has
tendered his resignation as judge of the su
perior'court for the Chattahoochee circuit to
take effect immediately. 3lis reason as
signed for resigning U !bat his health will
not permit him to discharge the duties of
the office. Judge Butt was appointed to
fill the vacancy caused when Judge M. J.'
Crawford, his predecessor, was appointed
judge of the supreme court. Judge Butt
had the misfortune during the war to re
ceive a serious wound from a shell that ex-
plt ded near him, nnd he has never en
tirely recovered from the wound. He found,
as \vc arc informed by r. friend of liis, that
his health was so much impaired after his
appointment on account of this old wound
that his physicians advised him to resign.
