GAMBLING.-Those who are addicted
to investing in gift enterprises are respect
fully referred to an article on the outside
of this paper, wherein is graphically ex-
posed the dishonesty of the system. Any
scheme, no matter what its name or how
specious soeyer its avowed object, which
proposes to give an article worth $500 for
S1.OO, may unhesitatingly be set down as
a swindle. We know that a considerable
sum of money goes yearly from Cambria
county into the maw Of these enterprises.
and for what? For pinchbeck jowelry
and cheap promises. Even if the enter
priscs were conducted fairly and honestly,
a man would stand only about as much
chance Of making a sudden fortune as he
would Of being struck by lightning. But
not one Of them is conducted on such prin-
ciples. They are all swindles, and that
man is fool who puts his money into
them with the expectation of deriving gain
from the investment

FIRE.-The steam tannery of Messrs.
Jones & Evans, situated a short distance

about $500 worth of leather had boon
destroyed and section of roof twenty
feet square burned away.

For WM. A. WALLAcE's EYE.-In
his address to the Democracy of Pennsyl-
Vania after the October election, Wm. A.
Wallace, Chairman of the Dem. State
Committee, charged it upon the Republi-
can party that one of the means through
which they were enabled to carry the
State consisted in assessing paupers and
voting them" We heard a Democrat re-
mark, the other day, that the address was
elegant, eloquent, and epigrammatic, and
would have been all right if that unfortu-
nate reference to paupers had been left
cut; for, said he, you see, here in
Cambria county ace always assess the pau
pers and have them vote the Democratic
ticket ~ Which is a fact

themselves into Democratic Club, for the purpose
of promoting cooperative action in the pending

By resolution the President appointed ON exec
utive committee, Of which Col. T. T. Pickens is

or to call the club together whenever the e1igcn-
ces of the times require it. Our club now num-

of the citizens of Rabun County, met this day in
the Court House. The object of the meeting was
explained 10 be to hear nm address upon the SUBJ
ject of the Blue Ridge Railroad by the President
of the Company, Gen. J. W. Harrison; and to de-
wise means to render the said Blue Ridge Railroad

CIRCULAR.

In reply TO the resolutions adopted at the meet
ing of the Democratic party of EdgehelG District
the undersigned Executive Committee deem it ex-
pedient to state that they do not think it wise or
proper to invite any other convention of the people
of the State at this time. The Convention recently
assembled represented, we believe, the sentiment
of the State, and any other line policy now would
be disastrous to the unity and harmony SO necessa-
ry to success Tie resolution adopted by that
Convention was based upon the right of each
State to regulate for itself the question of fran
chise, and in giving mn expression Of what they
believed to be the opinions of people, the Con-
vcntion acted deliberately, calmly and, under the
circL mstanccs, wisely. The action of the Conven-
ton meets with approval everywhere in the ranks
of the Democratic party, and We are disposed 10
abide by the action Of the Convention as polite,
prudent and just. As the organ of that body, our
duty is to uphold its action and lay it before the
State accompanied, nevertheless, with our solemn
protest against the instrument called Constitu-
tion, which is about to be forced upon US by radi-
cal rule and military dict alton.
