The gold mines of Georgia, which
have long been known and worked,
are said to have produced some twen-
ty-6ve to thirty millions of dollars.
Until lately no very modern method
of working the mines has been used,
but this has changed, and they are
now being worked with good machin-
cry, controlled by intelligence and are
said to be yielding well. DR.. George
Little, State Geologist, has defined the
gold yielding territory more distinctly
and more fully than was before known
and he thinks that the proper work
ing of the mines over greater section
than it has heretofore been supposed
will find satisfactory reward.

named George Maugrum, from Camp
bell county, KY. Two women, Mary
Hooper and Amanda Abbot, the first
on Thursday, and the second on Fri
day, were the victims of the ravisher.
Mary Hooper was found in the
woods dead. Amanda Abbot lived to
tell the story Of her wrongs. There
was intense excitement over the dis
covery of these villainies. Man.
grum was found, arrested, and sent
to Jail. On Saturday he was taken
from Jail by the excited citizens and
lynched, nearly the entire populace
of New Richmond participating.

CHESHIRE, July III, 1876.
Ed. JoURNAL:-As an instance OF
the interest taken in our public
schools in many places, let us cite
our own place. Mr.. j. w. Delay has
just closed his labors in our village
school. During the eight months
that he has taught he has not had a
call at his school from a patron, in
deed, not even from a member of the
Board. To evince such utter uncon-
Germ about our public schools is not
credit to any people. This may be
an utterance, but it is only an ex-
treme of quite general mistake.
Political parties may vie with each
other in resolutions Of devotion to
our grand free school system, and in
dividuals may congratulate them
selves as much as they will upon en-
jOying the rich advantages of educa-
tion; these are, in a measure vain,
when unattended with an active sup
port from the citizens, patrons and
school officers.
A taxpayer hears that the school
in his district has been sometimes
as low as three or four in number;
then he grumbles that the teacher is
paid enormously for little work. In
an adjoining district but one pupil
was in attendance during the fore
noon a few days ago; but, of course,
the teacher received the same
wages as if the forty scholars of the
district were present. This is a
shameful lack/of economy-shall we
not also say a slight to the teacher
flowing from a more shameful care
lessness in those who should have an
interest in the use Of public money.
Parents are careless; their children
go when they please and no oftencr
IL we would enjoy the full fruits of
our justly priced public schools, let
patrons encourage their children by
an occasional visit at the school
room; let school officers visit the
teacher, at least once IN eight
months. Let us all show our teach
ers that we do not regard them as
mere servants; let US mingle with
them more in their special work.

Those who feared that the Enquirer
wonld refuse to support Tilden may
dismiss their fears. 1t will give him
sincere and effective support.
OF course twill, and SO will all the
other greenback organs. But it shows
that they are devoid of principle, and
only care for the spoils. These pa
pers have been telling us for months
that the business of the country was
being paralyzed and destroyed by the
adoption of a hard money policy, and
now they about-face and give their
support to a candidate and a plat
form which denounces the Republi-
cans for not providing for a more
speedy resumption of specie pay
ments. If there is any honesty in
such a course, we fail to see it.

by the gold digsers has nothing to dc
with the Indian war now forced upon
US.
The troops were trying to punish
Sitting Bulls tribe of Sioux Indians
for not keeping their treaty stipula-
tions in refusing to go upon the Res
ervation set apart for them. The In
dian Bureau, for about a year has
been trying to get this tribe of In
dians upon their reservation, and sent
them word toward the close of last
year that unless they went there by
the end of January, 1876, they would
be turned over to the military for
punishment. The Indians not COM
plying with the request of the In
dian Bureau, the Secretary of the In
terror requested the War Department
to send a military expedition to sub
jugate them, and General Terry's ex-
pedition was organized for that pur-
pose.

BUCHANAN was the last of the
Democratic Presidents. His Secre-
tary of the Interior was a South
erner, named Jacob Thompson.
Well, this man Thompson, in viola
tion of law, invested over $1,000
900 of Indian Trust Funds in South
.ern State bonds, and securities,
which it is now discovered are worth
less. BY footing up the interest that
would have accrued on good bonds,
the deficiency aggregates some
$5,00O,000, that has been lost to the
country by this Democratic official.
Our reform Congress has failed as
yet to investigate this steal.

Echo From Guyan.

As there is Club for the JOURNAL
at this point, and see no one else
seems disposed to furnish, for the in
terests of your readers, any of the
news from the vicinity, l deem it
proper that / should send you few
items of news.
First, we would say that all the
friends Of the Republican party of
this place, and not only these but all
friends to good government, and the
prosperity and happiness Of the peo-
pie, are all greatly rejoiced with the
opportunity Of giving our beloved
Gov. Hayes another ''lift" this fall,
and that not toward making him
Governor of our State, but for the
purpose of placing him in the posi-
ton in which such a man as he should
be placed.
We chanced to get a glance at the
democratic sheet published in your
city on last week, and therein saw a
remark to the effect that the Repub-
lican National Convention could have
done better in selecting a Presiden-
tial candidate, by taking him from
Gallia county. Glad to hear, Ed,
that we have such men, but we do not
altogether agree with you. All we
know is that in our sister county
Lawrence, we have q Republican
who possesses the honesty and abili-
ty to fill "Bub's" place at Washing
ton, in a great deal more creditable
manner for the people. He is going
to do it, too.
Corn crops are looking promising,
yet the farmers are somewhat behind
with their work.
Harvesting is in progress.
Plenty Of rain.
We hope to be able to report the
organization of Hayes Club soon.
We hear it rumored that Geo.
Chapman, Esq. and John B. Lewis
are going to be candidates for 81. Pr
Well, go it while you can, friends,
but know We that one must beat the
other.
We don't know whether John c.,
the Buck, will be on the stump or not,
during the campaign. We hope not,
for should he, he and "Petroleum'
will defeat Hayes and Wheeler, with
out doubt. (?)
Yours truly,
HIGH RIGHT.

since the ST. Louis convention, and
are very much dissatisfied. We

have declared they would not sup

TILDEN seeks to buy his way to
the Presidential chair with money
stolen from the masses of the people,
and in the advocacy of doctrines
which enrich the few and impoverish
the many, he hopes to be elected.

so-called reform measure is sham.
