"OBCSANIZBD" RKMOCRACY. A letter on the subject (ram Dr. H. V. U. Miiitr. Atlanta, Ga., October 11,187-6. Gentlemen:—l have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of yours of the 10th Inst. inviting mo to uttend a mass meeting in Marietta on the ‘lßth of this month. You are pleased to say, “knowing the deep interest you have ever felt In the welfare, success and triumph of organized Democracy over every other competitor, wo earn estly request that you will honor ns and the people of this county with your presence on that occasion.” I cannot aooept so flattering an invita tion without premising a short ex planation. It is impossible to over estimate my desire for honest Demo cratic government, nor the interest I feel for the triumph of Democratic principles; but if you have been led to suppose that I am in favor of the creation or maintainance of an “or ganization” unknown to the law, which is intended or calculated to wrest from the people the power to ohoose their own'representatives, you have mistaken my position. The recommendation, or nomina tion, if you will, of any name as a candidate for office by ten or ten thousand people, carries with it pro perly an influence proportioned to the number and character of those who make it; but when: under any name, they assume to dictate to, or dominate the consciences and ooutrol the votes of others, their fellow-citi zens, their equals in intelligence and integrity, they impudently attempt an usurpation of the rights of the people and open wide the door to in trigue, to fraud, and to corrupt polit ical traffic. The people aro the depositaries of politioai power. Our system of gov ernment assumes that they have in telligence and virtue adequate to the trust, without the instruction of a body of self-appointed guardians and sense keepers. Experience has proven that it is safer to trust to the nonest instincts or the whole constit uency than to the selflsh ambition of a few. Conventions or caucusses may act wisely and honestly, but the only se curity for their good behavor is to re serve to the people the inalienable right aud duty of bolting. “Organi zations” to establish party tyranny or perpetuate party slavery are odi ous, soon become corrupt and intol erable, and it is alwavs gratifying to patriotism when indignant public virtue repudiates and overwhelms them. , Two years ago General Beojamin F. Butler was the candidate of the “organization” for Congress in his district. A whole people was re joiced when the news came over the wires that there were independent voters enough in that district to de feat him,and rebuke the organization of which he was the fit standard bearer. This year he is again a can didate for Congress of the “organiza tion** in another district, and a thrill of pleasure overspread the nation when it was announced that an inde pendent candidate would in all like lihood save the next Congress from the disgrace and contamination of his Presence. It is to be hoped that an “organiz ed Democracy ” will never descend so low as “organized Republicanism,” and nominate for a high place an ad mitted and proven scoundrel, but if you desire to dignify and enthrone over us a system which may lead to such results, you may count largely on my patriotism, but I desire you to draw sparingly on my zeal for “or ganization.” I have written the above without reference to the landing canvass in the 7th district. I have no desire to meddle in a question whioh does not. personally interest me, but I will add, that if I were a citizen of that district the fact that Dr. Felton is an independent candidate would not of itself deeide me to vote against him. I am old enough to remember that Andrew Jackson was an independent candidate for the Presidency, and none the worse Democrat because he ran against the nominee of his party and broke up and utterly demolish ed an organization, which had ruled the country with regal sway for twenty-four years. The owners, the stockholders of that “organization,’ of course, made an uproar and shouted lustily, “great is Diana of the Ephesians,” but no one now can be found to call in question Jackson’s patriotism or Democracy. I have known Dr, Felton from his early manhood, and that long ac quaintance induces me to think that possibly you are mistaken in sup posing that he is “the avowed collea gue as well as the candidate of the organized Radical party.” In times of high political excitement charges will Be made on very questionable testimony, and even good men sometimes take up a railing accusa tion against a neighbor. I remem ber to have heard very naughty things charged againt Gen. Jackson himself when he was an Indepen dent candidate. But if, perchance, Dr. Felton is not so good a man, so able a Congress man, so incomparable a Democrat as I have thougnt*im, there is no constituency in this State more able to discover nis weakness and detect his short comings than the quick witted people of your district. No body of citizens in this world have less need of aoy body to tell them whom to vote for. I am very respectfully, your fellow citizen, H. V. M. Miller. To P. MeClatchy, chairman, and others, Marietta, Ga. GEORGIA GEME*. AN IMPORTANT AND USEFUL INVENTION. We saw yesterday the model of a road machine, invented by Mr. War ren H. Hancock, of this county. The inventor claims for it several advan tages over the machine already pa tented. In the first place, it will be much lighter, and therefore able to run with ease over the heaviest roads upon which the large machines have made failures. It can be run by en gines from one to eight horse power. While the invention can be utilized for buggies or carriages, it is intened principally for wagons and plows. On good roads it is claimed that, it cen'make a mile in four or five min utes. The wheels are so connected with the machinery that the rapidity of their rotation can be easily Agulated by the driver. Thus on hard roads they can be made to revolve with great rapid ity, and through sand or mud at a slower rate. The wheel attachment is designed for either gearing or fric tion. The inventor prefers the latter for very light machines. The inven tion can also be used without steam, applied to velocipedes and similar structures. The rider, in such case, turns a crank with his hands, and can use it alike on hard or soft ground. The invention is certainly a very important one, and reflects much credit upon Mr. Hancock, who is a citizen of this county, and quite a young man. The inventor has applied for a pat ent. He forwarded the model to Washington yesterday afternoon. — Augusta Chronicle. M. D.

The following Is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel kn AlTth?farmerswere°of the "well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, Intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in which deposits ol peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. It Is certainly one of the most extensive fortile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia ry formation; ill 1 this marly substance in scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to ultivate. THE MORNING NEWS, NAVAX.VAII, lit. • / • ■ fiir,k: mm a rpHB POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1870, WftlCH 1 includes National, State and county and which will undoubtedly l> the most a aud hotly contested of any since tho memorable canvass of 1860, is now fairly opened. The Na tional Democratic Party wiii this year make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug gle for the maintenance and supremacy of those principles which are vital to the prosperity of tho Republic aud essential to the well>being of the pooplo. In addition to the Presidential election, the people in Georgia and Florida will elect new State governments. In Florida tho campaign promises to be unusually vigorous, and there is a probability that for the first time since the war the people of that Radical-ridden State will elect a Democratic State Government. In these cam paigns the people of the South are deeply inter ested; and everv intelligent citizen, who has the welfare of his country aud his section at heart, should acquaint himself with every detail of the great work of redemption and reform that is now .going on. To this end he should subscribe to and assist in circulating tho ttavtumali Morning New*, an independent Democratic newspaper, of pro nounced opinions and fearless in their expres sion; a paper that is recognized everywhere as the best dxily in the South. Its editorial de partment is vigorous, thoughtful and consistent, while its news and local departments are marvels of industry and completeness. Its department of Georgia and Florida aflairs is not confined to a mere barren summary of events in those States, but is onlivened by comment at once apt, timely, and racy. Tho ample resources of the establishment will be devoted to furnishing the readers of the MORNING NEWS with the latest intelligence *rom all parts of the world, through the press dispatches, special tel egrams, and by means of special correspondence; and through these agencies the paper will be the earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident of the political campaign of 1876. * SUBSCRIPTION.
