A Handsome Income For An
ENERGETIC LADY OR GENTLEMAN

The Ohio Scale Works OF Cincinnati have
Just COMPLETED and are now Introducing to the
public Hands pmely finished Family Scale, an
article that has always been needed In every
household, and in a communication addressed
to the publishers of this paper the prOprietors
ask us TO refer them to some reliable party, to
introduce it for them 10 the people OF this Coun
ty Ii 10 very seldom that new article steps
so suddenly into universal favor. House-keSp
ers are loud in it's prai-e. it is always ready,

CIV. on the top If the column is the platform on
which the artclts TO be weighed are placed,
and they have an adj Unstable indicator that

SAMUEL ]. TILDEN.

This gentleman was sworn before
the Congressional investigating com>
mittee on the Slh inst, and his teS>
timony and that of Mr.. Hewett, Mr..
Cooper and Mr.. Pel,on shows con.
clusiveIy that the electoral vote of
Florida, and perhaps of South Caro-
lima and Louisiana, was for sale 10
1876, and tina, the Democrats refus'
ed to buy it. The fact that the vote
was VIGOROUSLY for sale, coupled
with the further fact that the Demo-
Gratis had ample funds to buy it, if so
inclined, WIS sufficient of itself to sat-
isfy any unprejudiced miud that they
were unwilling to purchase the Pres
Dental office which they had already
won fairly at the ballot-box. 1t shows
further, that the vote being for sale,
was beyond doubt bought outright
by the Republicans, since it was fin"
ally given to their candidates.
We never had any doub: as to the
innocence # Mr.. Tilden of the
charge sought to be raised out of the
cipher dispatches against him. But
we are rejoiced that the matter has
been cleared up, and made SO plain
that no partisan, however blind, can
believe or repeat it hereafter, unless
he be a fool or a knave

GEN sHBRMAN's LETTER.

General sherman, 10 reply to az
inquiry from Capt. Howell Of the
Atlanta Constitution, has written
that gentlemen a very interesting
and sensible letter, with regard to
the climate, soil, resources aud ad-
vantages of North Georgia, and the
region Of country Immediately tribu~
tarv to Atlanta. The letter shows
good judgment. and what is more,
good feeling towards the people of
Georgia, and indeed of the whole
South. The General says that he
has travelled over most of the States
and territories of the union, and
that he knows of no section which
offers greater inducements to immi~
grants and capitalists than North
Georgia. He thinks we should have
an active agent at New York to ad-
yertise our resources, and to direct
immigrants to Georgia, and that
there should be agents stationed at
Chattanooga, Rome and Atlanta to
receive and show them to good cheap
homes. This is very sensible ad
vice. We know of no better man to
act as agent in Atlanta than Judge
Van Wyck of this place, a northern
man himself of travel and expert
ence, and who is familiar with the
whole subject ofimmigration, having
been engaged for some years past,
since his removal to Georgia, in the
good woork of influencing the tide of
foreign immigration in this direction.
Gen. Sherman as the leader of
great army made war upon our peo-
pie in 1864. Peace having been
declared, he now eviuce, desire to
help build up our waste places and
to turn our minds to the future
We are glad to be able to record
this fact, and to welcome the gener-
al of the army into the ranks of those
who are seeking the restoration OF
our ancient prosperity.

The most wonderful mineral dis
covery yet made is that of immense
beds Of mineral wax, in Southern
Utah and Arizpna This remarka'
BILE find, in the opinion of some com
petent experts, is of greater import
ance than was that of petroleum in
Pennsylvania. Professor Henry
Wurtz was, we believe, the first to
identify this peculiar substance as
zietrisksite, or the Romanian miner
al wax. 1t differs from para6ne,
which name has sometimes been Civ
en- to it, by being insoluble in ether,
and in other respects. In European
country this curious mineral is found
in small quantities but, as is usual
in America, we have here found it
in beds said to be as much as twenty
feet 10 thickness and extending over
many square miles in area.
