Great Excitement in North- Georgia. Many Rich Gold Veins Dis? covered- RUSH of Pros? pectors. ATLANTA, Jao. 19 -A special to The Eveuiug Constitution from Da-b loega, Ga., says : The gold fever is oo . here and it is mooing higher every day. Old prospectors from Cripple Creek aod South Africa are pouring in aod capitalists are taking options as fastas they cao'obtain them. There is oo stakiog claimshero as the prop? erty is all held under title. One hun? dred hnioes are bsiog developed with io 3. a. radias of two miles of this town, S - where a United States miot was located before the war.

Nothing but surface ore was worked, as at a depth of about 40 feet suipherets were encountered aod the amalgam plates would, not catch that. Keoently Mr. A. French, of Pitts? burg, Pa., tbe largest steel spriog manufacturer io the world, has demon? strated that the chlorination process is aa economical way of treatiog these v^Dres and assays of the taiiio^s from the old mills showjbat from $25 to $100 per toa, value which bas beeo allowed to escape. Tbe old mines are being opeoed aod assays from shafts 10 feet deep gives values ruooiog from $25 up.

Pope & Dye at Holly Springs are said to h s ve taken out $40,000 io the last few months, using a 10 stamp mill. Prospectors from Sooth Afrioa say that this belt is full of mines richer than the famous Robinson mine, and they all say that this U destined to be a wonderful mioiog camp. 1 be whole section is wild with ex? citement, because the more the devel? opment work goes on the greater are the re>olts Vei?s which are mere ribboos 00 the surface ruo together at varying depths aod widen out to 10, 50 and 100 feet, with iocreasiog riob oess as they go dowe One company is besag organized to pat io a large plant with a 200-stamp mill aod aootber syndicate is getting ready to put in a 250-stamp mill with a chlorination j ~**Vp4aot'large eoough to treat all the con? centrates form 500 stamps.

A bill to reduce thc pbosphat alty to 25 cents per ton was introi Mr. Gaeque introduced a cone resolution recognizing theindepet of Cuba. The resolution was diately considered and adopted, one member voting against it. Quite a number of new bills of importance were introduced. Io the Senate bard work is done. The bill to elect township co sioners caused some debate, ba finally passed Sumter, George Beaufort, Spartaoburg and S counties being exempted from the visions of the bill. To-night at 8 o'clock the cooee resolution from the House rel at ir Cuba will be considered. Among the important measure troduced in the Senate yesterday v Mr. Ragsdale's two constitu? amendments providing for the ele of supreme court justices and oi judges by the qualified electors o State and circuits respectively. ' there is Senator Love's bill to emp the railroad commission to regulate j charges made by telegraph atd press companies io the same oca ! that freight and passenger rates regulated ; Senator Talbird's bill t< I duce tbe fertilizer royalty from cents to 25 cents ; and in view of much discussed theme of nepotism, less interesting is Senator Sudds bill to repeal the act against nepo so that beads cf departments can point their relatives, either by blooc marriage, to clerkships and positioo their departments. Jacjary 22. In the house of repr?sent?t! yesterday a considerable amount work was done and as a result calendar wa- handled all the \ through to the end. It was a gi day for the introduction of new b and resolutions and some of th of interest, particularly j Kibler's bill providing for a St labor commissioner. The bill is reaching in its provisions, At y terday's session the dispensary vestigation resolution heretofore ferred to was introduced hy ? Price of Orangeburg. It was abi to be adopted without dissent wr 10 members rising slowly one ai time objected to its immediate c< eideration and the resolution w< over till to-day The house una mously adopted the resolution the appointment of a special comm tee to consider all bills relating the dispensary law and pensioi There were several other importa bills, among them being Mr. Gag< I new county , home rule scheme, lowing counties to govern themselv as cities now do Several new mei ures were introduced directed at t control of railroads, one of them t ing intended to accomplish what t railroad commission is expected do. Mr. Anderson's bill to repe the law prohibiting emigration agen from plying their trade in this Stat which had passed its second read tr without dissent, was attacked on i third reading and recommitte which virtually mean6 its deat The house had voted to indefinite postpone it, but later Mr Anders raised the point that a bill could no under the rules, be indefinitely poe poned upon its- third reading. Tr point was sustained by the speaker THE SENATE Any one taking a cursory glanc j at the senate calendar of yesterJa would never have selected the "bi to enable Eugene S Blease of Salud county, a minor over 19 years of ag( to apply for admission to tha bar" a the one bill in all that number out ( which the warmest debate of th day was to grow. This bill, wit the attempt to pass over Governo Evans' vote the bil' governing th appintment and removal of magie trates, proved a veritable Godsend i relieving the tedium of yesterday' proceedings. The first business on the calenda was the veto message of Governo Evans in the matter of removin? magistrates The objections raise< by the governor to this act. it wii be remembered, were that he ha< I not the power to remove magistrates j neither could he appoint them sav< I by the consent of the senate. Or i these two grounds the act wa; j vetoed. I Senator Mower, author of the bill was the only one to speak on the veto j Ile said that the bill, as first intro ; duced by him, gave the power of re i moval for cause to the grouernor. but I ai'tPr looking inti) tho matter furthei j he offered an amendment taking away this right. Ile did so because after more study he believed the Constitu? tion abridged this power, as il pro? vided for two distinct modes of re moval in the case of judicial officers ; the first, by impeachment ; the second ! by the governor, two-thirds of the I general assembly concurring. The j proposition on which Mr. Mower rested was that magistrates are judi? cial officers and therefore removable only in the manner prescribed by the Constitution. As to the matter of re appointment of magistrates, whose appointment the senate had refused to confirm, Mr Mower was of the opinion that, the governor couid not re-appoint during that term of the senate. When he had finished stating his position Mr. Mower moved that the bill be passed over the governor's veto and caiied for the aye and nay vote which resulted as follows : Yeas 18.. Nays 13 As a two thirds vote was necessary to overcome the veto, the bill failed to carry by three votes A HU to enable Eugene S Blease of S? J ia county, a mtnoj over the age of 19 years, to apply for admis sion to the bar, came up for a second reading Mr. Mayfield stated that this was a special bill and as such was in con? travention of the Constitution. Mr. Mower took up the acts of the last legislature and showed that two similar bills had been enacted. He asked that this young man be not discriminated against Mr. Buist took up the cudgels and gave special legislation a whack or two. Messrf Sloan' and Suddath spoke in favor of the bili and Mr Ragsdale opposed it Mr Mayfield said he certainly voted against the two acts last year. He then moved that the enacting words be stricken out, which prevailed by the following aye and nay vote : Yeas, 19 ; naya, 15 The committee on free conference reported that it had agreed to a joint session of senate and the house for Friday (to day) at 12 m for the pur? pose of electing judges for the Fifth and Seventh circuits, a superintend? ent of the penitentiary and three di rectors for the same institution The report was adopted.

This is as grea't a convenience as pre? serves, the preparation of apples for sauce not being always convenient for the busy housekeeper. Inferior apples may be used in this way, and the wind? falls of early autumn, when one is for? tunate enough to own an orchard, will be found quite available. They should be peeled, cored and freed from every blemish, then cut up in quite small pieces. A large earthen jar with a cover should be ready to receive them. Into this put first a liberal sprinkling of sugar, with cinnamon to taute, then a layer of apples, then inoro sugar and cinnamon, and so cn till the jar is full. The sugar should be regulated accord? ing to the tartness cf the apples, fiom a quarter to a half pound for ene pound of apples being the rule. The jar should be placed at the back of tho range and the fruit kept covered and gently simmering through the day. It should then be set i;way to eccl, and the apples taken out only as they are needed for sauce or desserts. U;:vins no water mixed with them, apples prepared iu this wey are very palatable.-Ladies' Home JcurnaL A Plausible Theory. "Since that fellow moved in next to me and is trying to learn how to play the violin, I have a new theory as to the burning of Rome." "What is it?"

In one of the raids of the McGregors the farm of Burnfoot, at tho back cf the Gargunnock hills, above Fintry, was attacked hy about 30 of the clan, and the cattle "lifted." Tho farmer was weil advanced in years, and he and his wife were the only inmates of the house when the McGrcgcrs appeared. The sons, who weil' five in number, were away helping some friends who had been tit racked and raided by another portion of tho clan. Iho old farmer, who was a powcr?nl mun, in order to prevent his raising thc alarm, was tied below thc bolly cf an cid mure with his j head toward tho tail, and, nearly chok? ing, was thus carri eil oil with the spoil. \ When the eldest sen came home, he | learned from his mother what they hud done, and ho called ?o her to ?ive him his father's claymore, which hung above his bed, and which tito robbers had neglected to take aw-ay. Furious and reckless, he seized it, re? solving to have revenge, andmade after the McGregors at full speed. He came upon them at a steep pince called Skian Dhu, where they were (-Mired to go in single file, and overtaking the hindmost man, who had charge t: the marc, he with, ono blow cut off his head, which rolled down tho bill for a considerable distance. Tho rest, fancying that they were b< i og pnrsm d by sap; rior force, fled, and thc old man was saved. After burying thc body of tho highlander, which they did a little higher up, on a flat part of the hill, tho sons of the farmer of Burnfoot threw a number of stones over thc grave, as was thc cus? tom, and every time they or others pass? ed another stone was added tothecairn, until ir is believed that now there tire at least from lo to 20 cartloads of stones heaped up cn it.-rJ.
