TOONBS AG1IE TALKING.

Gen. Robert Toombs addressed the Democratic
members of the Legislature of Georgia aud others
on Tuesday evening last, at the State Capitol, on
the question Of constitutional convention. The
Atlanta Constitution presents pretty full report
of his remarks, and from its columns we make the
following extracts, Mr.. Toombs said
"Shall we change our organic lawf That is the
question which is before How shall we change
it; When shall we change 1t : These are the
questions to be considered. ! answer that you
should change it Why should you change the
organic law Of this State Because it is not your
law. Because it does not represent the will of the
people. Because you, who are the people OF
Georgia, never made it. ! might speak here u
month and only darken counsel with words. Gov
ernments made for the benefit of the gov
erned and they can change and abolish the form
of government at their pleasure. And now, the
Legislature, just eight years from the moment
thus constitution was madc-who made it 1T was
made by your enemies, by poor, ignorant sayages
led by rogues, and TO peipetuate the power of
rogues-to day, say the toliing millions are de-
manding of you if you will keep them under the
burdens thus placed upon them. They would not
hear to it herelofore-these fellows who wanted to
be reconstructed-l never was very greatly recon-
structed, you know-not even enough to be like
the fellow in the play last night who was FOR the
old flag and an appropriation! Ever since we
have had organized governments in the world we
nave recognized inc pllnclple-Dut oelltNc IL Is
almost forgotten by the people now-tbat govern
ments are established for the benefit OF the gov
erned. But those fellows who made this constitu-
ton made it for the benefit OF the governors. No
body will dare say that it was made for the benefit
Of the people. 1t was made to plumber the people
1t ought to be changed.
In 1867 when, as punishment for our sins, our
great cause fell, they came down upon us-you
saw the soldiers when they overrun us down here
the Prussian. the low Datchman, the lrishman
and worse than all, the Yankee thief. They said
we have ruined, devastated, robbed, and ruined
this country but there is plenty OF good stealing
here yet! They said we will reconstruct them and
make new Constitution for the people. They
did make it, and II made at that time to facill-
tate robbery. They attempted to make it as a
party. 1t was not the moral, or the religious, or
industrious men-they were not the men who were
called. They shut them out. They said no man

The Lewiston Journal copies the ruling
of Judge Walton at the last term of the
S. j. Court in Androscoggin county, in
relation to the nuisance act as amended
in 1878, and says:
''Under the ruling of Judge Walton the jury
found the defendant guilty, although he had sold
only Mains wine and cider which, however, it
was shown were sold to be drank on the premises,
and produced the effects of intoxication. Since
that time several parties have been successfully
proceeded against before the Municipal Court.
Recently several persons have been convicted I'M,
der this law in York county. Whatever additional
legislation may be given on this subject by the
Legislature, the friends Of temperance should not
delay to prosecute and close up every cider and

THE BONANZA KING.

Twelve years ago there was drinking saloon
on Washington street, in the city of san Francis
co. over whose bar two young Iri.hmen were
wont to dispense drink to their thirsty customers,
at 10 cents per glass. The names of these young
men were Flood and O'Brien They were steady
and industrious, and had accumulated some money
which they invested in mining stock. Ey reason
of good luck, and good judgment, their small for
tune began rapidly to increase. They now aban-
doned their whskey MILL and directed their at
tention to mining stocks. In the pursuit of this
calling they developed great shrewdness and
business capacity, as will appear from what fol-
lows.
have a letter before me, from a reliable source
dated San Francisco, Jan. 10th, 1876, from which
l extract the following:
''You will recollect the saloon Washington
street. kept by Flood and Bren. Well, canyon
believe me when tell you that these same men
are to-day the great money kings Of California :"
"They with their partners at Virginia City, Fair
and Mackav now own fittythree thousand shares
IN Consolidated Nrginin, worth at present valua-
ton, S2S, 665.000; also three hundred and sixty
thousand shares in California worth $50, 900
Their joint income from these two mines when in
full blast is estimated to be 81 ,7l0000 per month,
or $j7 900 yer day. Now in addition to this vast
property, they own large real estate interests in
the city, and bank with capital Of 81, 100000.
An expert government examiner has examined
the Consolidated Nirg mia as far as it is opened,
and estimates the value of the ore in sight to be
$3O0,000,000. 1t is expected that the NINE will,
in future, yield nearly double what it has been do
ing for the last veal SO is safe to predict that
the firm alluded to, will, in ten years, be the rich
est one in the world excepting the Rothschild."

cured good grip on the hogs tail, a
position often seen in circus when
the volunteer riders attempt to ride
the trick mules. But this position
could not be maintained even by so
agile a man as Whitmarsh, and the
beg making sudden plunge Whit
marsh doubled up over his tail end
somewhat after the manner in which
a toy monkey goes over the end Of
stick. Whiimarsh held onto the tail,
however, and the hog dragged him
around in the yard, rolling him in.
the dirt in the most reckless way,
amid the laughter of the neighbors
and 10 the intense delightof fourteen
small boys, who, perched on the back
fierce, were heartily cheering the
performance. Then the hog took to
running through bushes, some Of
which had large thorn5 on them,
hoping to drag Whitmarsh OF from
his tail, squealing horribly all the
time; but Whitmarsh still held on,
determined TO die right there, rather
than TO let go. FINALLY the hog
dashed into a large pile Of decayed
tomatoes, and Whitmarsh forgetting
himself for a moment, put his hands
up to his face TO prevent its being
smeared with the odorireroas mass.
In doing this he let go his grip on
the hogs tail, and that animal leav-
ing him in the tomato heap, disap-
peared through hole in the fence
with a farewell squeal of triumph.
Whitlnarsh picked himself up and
went into the house, and when he
came out of the bath room two hours
later he remarked, with suppressed
emotion, that he now had but one
object in life, and that was to be the
supreme owner and governor of a
small State, an to see some enterpris-
ing genius undertake to bring a hog
into it. He says that after disposing
of that case he could die happy.
