The Georgieps MkWashington who feel an
interest In the financial condition Of the
State are Indignant al this hlgh-handed repe-
tltIon Of wrong. They say, II without any
authority Of the Legislature, or power be-
longing to the Executive under the constitu-
ton aud laws OF the State, the Governor
may draw and appropriate the public funds at
his discretion, then, without any congress
| sional interference With the State Increasing
his powers, he is already supreme.
WHAT CAN GRoRGIA's EXECUTIVE BxPECrl
Docs the Governor hope BY continuing his
unlawful practices to arouse the taxpayers
| Of Georgia to acts Of personal indignlty
toward him and thereby to create sympathy
for himself as a Prosecuted patriot with the
National Legislature ! He may find him
self mistaken. UnJustlaable and criminal
as may be his acts, he may become the OBJ.
ject OF popular loathlng and disgust, and yet
It may not exhibit itself In any personal yio-
lence. We hope IL will not. Let the people
OF Georgia learn to be patient. The true
way to overcome the oppressor Is to make
public the wrongs he lnnlctsj but never, nc
never, TO resort to personal violence. Time
and patience are potent agents for political
disorders.

Much as was said Of the Governors rebel
predecessor, Jenkins, on account Of his
political views, which were abomlnable,
there was never any complaint Of his IN
lawfully drawing the moneys of the State
from the place Of deposit for his ewn use or
TO gain the favor of others. Georgia has a
State treasurer, whose, official duty 1t Is to
take caro- Of her money and to pay 1t out
when legally directed 30 to do, and not
otherwise. The Governor Is not that officer,
nor has he any control OF him.

tunnel on Saturday. 1t was but little
more than begun in May last. 1t is now
one of the noted institutions of the city,
impres.ing you that Chicago feels as did
the first Napoleon, that impossible is
the adjective of fools" Difficulties be-
gin at once to pack up and leave as soon
as everything becomes conscious that Chi
cago has its eye upon them, assured that
she will either go through them, around
them, over or under them. This tunnel
| is wonderful convenience to the ship
ping and to the travel. 1t is in itself
noble work. From carriage entrance to
exit its length is four blocks and the
width of the river, admitting readily
three carriages abreast. For footmen,
from entrance to exit the distance is two
blocks and the width of the river, and
through this apartment five persons can
conveniently walk abreast. At first the
water from the river strained through in
places as if it were sieve This annoy
ance is now, however, nearly don away
by the formation of an impervious thick
ness of clay in the bed of the river.
About a score of gas lights distributed
along the walls keep it thoroughly illu-
minated by night and day. The success
of this enterprise has determined num-
Der Of similar ones for other streets,
which will do away with most of the
bridges. Some bridges will, however,
necessarily remain, as the grade into and
out of the tunnels is too steep for the
heaviest loads which must be transferred
from one side of the river to the other.
This tunnel is great good to the tele-
graph lines. We noticed that forty-two

From Bradford Opinion.
The Vermont Copper Mines in tsr-
shire.

While strolliue over the hills and val
lcys Of Vermont. / Recently pulled up"
at Nershire, aed having curiosity to see
the hole in the ground, or rather ledge, l
gladly accepted the invitation of Capt.
Pollard, the general superintendent Of
the mines, to 20 in.
The next morning, accompanied by
Capt. Pascoe, who is mining manager, we
went to the mouth Of the tunnel about
one hundred rods from the main road.
Seated in an iron box car about q feet
wide and about 6 feet long drawn by a
small French horse who had lamp at
tached to his collar to light him through,
we were drawn on nearly level track
until we had entered about 500 feet where
we found large number of men engaged
in stopping, that Is, blowing out the rock
on the sides of the tunnel, and following
the vein of ore, which here is down at an
angle of about 20 degrees. The tunnel is
about 800 feet below the surface most Of
the way. Many Of the miners wear lamps
attached to their caps by hooks, which
are literally light to their feet.
AT about 900 feet from the entrance and
about 300 feet below the opening above
is steam engine Of about % horse power,
which is used to draw up the ore from a
side shaft or stope which is sunk about
500 feet from the track at an angle of
about "a degrees, down which runs two
tracks At the bottom of this shaft is
found some very rich ore.
The cars are drawn up by wire rope
about one inch in diameter, which Is
wound around large drum and as a
loaded car is drawn up an empty one is
lowered.
The men are mostly Englishmen, who
have been brought up in the business.
We remained in the mines nearly half
a day, conversing freely with the men,
many Of whom we found to be very intel
ligent and well read; some rather anx-
ious to fool Yankee Inquiring Of one
how he could keep the powder in the
holes overhead to blast, he replied they
wet it little. But on asking how he
made it burn he acknowledged he could
not tell. But as q class they are very
civil and communicative.
The company is now taking out about
5000 tons year, averaging about 10 per
csnt. pure copper. ga sA
