FRUGALIrY AMONG THE NEGRoEs.-In the
foundry of Gaty, McCane s. Co., at ST. Louis,
among its two hundred ard seventy operatives
are two negroes, who began life at the estab-
lshment in 1s49 as slaves. BY diut Of unfiag-
ging industry in due course Of time one of them
bought himself, wife and five children, paying
for himself $l400, and on an average for wife
and children $500 each. This negro is now
supposed to be worth in his own right more than
5000 in real estate in that city. Another ne
gro entering the factory about the same time,
amassed sufficient money by his attention to
duty to purchase himself at the price OF 1 500,
his wife at $500, and four children at $500 each
and is now worth $4,000 in real estate. These
negroes were bought from their masters by Mr..
Gaty, with the understanding that they should
work themselves free, and out of his own
pockets he gave two per cent. interest on the
deferred payments. The children of both aer
now receiving an excellent education at the
public schools Of st. Louis.

EOsss iuati0ns Of she sham DE-
RDOCracy.

Report says that the sham d amocrats OF
this county nominated at the Convention on
Saturday last, DR.. Flint, of Washington town
ship, for Judge; WIN. Lewis, of Dahlonega,
for Sheriff, ana WIN. J. Ross. of Centre town
ship, for Treasurer. We have not been ad-
vised as TO who they nominated, if anybody
for the other Offices Res olutinns were re-
ported and adopted, we understand, after the
Convention had adjourned, and the greater
portion of members and others hid left the
hail
The party who have placed this ticket in
nomination ought to be ashamed of the great
er part of it, as well as of the manner in which
1t was brought about, and we are well advised
that great many e so. There were
men before the convention competent for the
Offices for which they were named, and who
would, if elected, have given satisfaction to
the citizens Of the county; but they were thrust
aside rudely and insultingly for less worthy
and competent men. This we think will not
win, but we shall see. More anon.

northern boundary of the limits Of The city; and
with the understanding that the road is to be
pushed forward with dispatch, and opened to
That point at the earliest period practicable.
The people are so thoroughly impressed with
theimportance of the early completion of the
road, and of tie vital Interest to them Of secur-
ing its advantages to their city, that there can
scarcely be doabt of .heir success in raising
the requisite sum.
The adoption of this route, although it length
ems the main line somewhat, will have this ad-
vantage-that at least three miles of it will
constitute part of the Keokuk and Nebraska
Railroad, work in which the people of Keo-
kuk have deep nterest, and which will be
strengthened by this arrangement We are
happy to learn, also, that the citizens of Benz
tonsp ort have come up to the work in liberal
spirit. They have donated depot grounds,
&C., and agree to raise ten thousand dollars of
available means to enable the Company to
prosecute their road up the valley.
We have always hoped and believed that
when the proper time came, our friends up the
valley would take hold like men, and do their
part towards building the great railroad Of our
state. Daily Gate City.
