A One Cent Business.
HOW FORTUNE is MADE THROUGH BUYING
AND SELLING PENNIES.
From the New York Sun

AND SELLING PENNIES.
From the New York Sun.
There is man in this city who is amas-
sing handsome fortune by buying and sci,
ling pennies, two and three cent pieces, and
five cent nickels. In many of the news,
paper Offices, new depots, ferry offices, retail
houses where cheap goods are sold, bakeries
and other places, the accumulation oil small

cumbersome 1t cannot be disposed Of, Tor
coin is 50 plenty that customers object 10

and in business houses where it Is needed the
regular sources Of supply are always ample
The coin might be sent to the Phlladelphia
mint for redemption, but the requirements
OF the redemption department are enough 10
discourage any business man. 10 send
pennies to the mint they must first be sorted
and wrapped in packages Of s. each: Com

they are packed in this way they are not
even counted at the mint, but they are snip
ped back 10 the sender without delay or no
tice Of any kind. The law also prescrloes
that the coin shall be packed IN iron boxes,
and shipped at the sender's expense. As
coins are heavy, the cost Of transportation
Is considerable The officials count the
money at their leisure, and sometimes the
senderdoes not here from his consignment IN
nearly wear. He thus loses the use OF his
money for that length of time. This COM

who have an accumulation OF coin from
/ sending it to the mint, and 1t seems as

tended that they should not be troubled with

and other Offices in q buggy, and buys the
coin which has been taken In from the news

coin at par, taking their notes fol three

Vermont From British Standpoint. In iIs

Prof. J. D. Butler, in letter from

there is the Scots Magazine in 81 vols. ; 20.

E.etter From Gen. J.stss Gorsgos..

ATLANTA, Ga, July IT, 1874
Editor Wilkinson Appeal::
Dear Sir II have Just received
your very kind and frank letter of the
18th instant, and thank you for the
consideration which prompted it
Your announcement, however, that
have been placed by the report of an
interview published i'll the Atlanta
Herald in false attitude before the
people OF Georgia, greatly pains and
morti6es me. / had, previous to the
receipt of your letter, written one to
the Augusta Constitutionalist, which
hope viii relieve my friends of any ap-
prehension as to my political views
and purposes.
Let me repeat in this the substance
of that letter: [ stated that I had
never claimed any intimacy with Pres
ident Grant, nor to know anything of
his aspirations or plans, except what,
like others, had gathered from obser-
walton; that L had never talked with
him, nor had any communication with
him whatever upon the subject of
party programmes, OF party organiza-
tions, past, present or for the future
(my intercourse being always pleasant,
but only of an official eharacter;l that
he was always cordial and considerate
towards Southern gentlemen, &C.
That is the substance of my letter to
the Constitutionalist, to which beg
to add one or two observations.
If it were possible for me to advo-
cate third term for any man, that ad-
vocacy certainly could not bo given to
one whose success would continue IN
power, for four years longer, the party
whose pltiless measures have brought
sorrow and ruin TO our people and IT.
reparablo damage to our flee institu-
tions. And, il, while endeavorine to
do no act, and utter 10 word which
would necdlessly provoke hostility.
nor to furnish any excuse for longer
withholding from our people all tho
rights and privileges guaranteed by
the constitution, I should, as n repre-
sentative Of Georgia, fail to impress
the representatives. of other sections
| with the conviction that the South is
unalterably devoted to the great prin-
cIples of government advocated by the
Democratic party, and that size is
welded to tho belief that lib
| erty can be preserved only by
the re-establishment of those prin-
ciples as the permanent policy of
the government-then shall T esteem
myself as being unworthy Of the high
compliment you pay me and utterly
failing to meet the obligations of the
sacred trust committed to me. 1t is
possible that l may exaggerate the dan
ger of breaking precedent which the
example of Washington has clothed
with the sanctity of law; but if third
term were proposed for n Democratic
President whom [ regard as pure as
Cato and as self-sacrificing as Doria.
still 1 should feel that devotion to a
Democratic leader had betrayed us
into step which would tend to the
final subversion of our Democratic in
stitutlons.
In conclusion, permit me to say, that
with union and discretion in our ranks,
indeed, without some egregious blum
der we have the best grounds for the
most sanguine hopes Of success in the
mkt Presidential election.
L am, my dear sir,
Very truly yours,

David Martin Heard FROM Posse
IN search of Him-A Pistol Thrust
i'm the Sheriff,s Face.

Information having been received
by Sheriff Black to the effect that
David Martin, the escaped murderer
of Willie Garter, had been seen on the
premises at Hilton, the Sheriff sum
moned posse Of seven or eight men,
and, on Sunday night, started for
Hilton. He posted his men, and
then, accompanied by Deputy Morris
and one or two others, approached the
honse. He knocked at the door,
which was shortly opened by sailor,
who was Informed by the Sheriff that
he, Sheriff Black, wished to see him.
The sailor retired into the house, and
IN few minutes afterwards Dennis
appeared at the door and thrust a
cooked pistol in Sheriff Black face.
LIE latter promptly threw up lis
arm and seized the man.
Just at that moment the sailor ap-
peared again and sprang forward and
took the pistol from Dennis hand and
then turned and presented it at Depu
ty Morris head. This latter, however,
was equal to the emergency, fer he
grasped the sailors arm with one
iu,nl and then quietly knocked the fel-
low down with the other. The two
men were then secured and an etfectu
nj search was male of the premises,
but without avail. it having been as
rerttiled afterwards, that Dennis had
heard, III some manner, Of the iutend-
rl visit. The sailor was brought to
town and lodged in jail for short
tim" and was then released, but,
strange to say, Dennis was not taken
Intn custody.
