A GEORGIA GOLD MINE WHICH CANNOT YET BE WORKED. From the New York Times, Zadock Bonner was a moulder in Carroll county, away over in western Georgia, when the war of the rebellion broke cut. He had a furm of 1,800 acres, which he tilled with the aid of his family. Zadock himself bad some skill at the forge also; and when war was de- clared and everything that could possibly bo Pressed into use for fighting purposes was wanted by the confederates, he assisted in the manufacture of these implements, For doing this, tradition in Carroll county has it, he was arrested and shot by federal troops, Whether or not the tradition fs true is unkuown, but he was killed tn some way. After the close of the war his children coutinued to live on and off the tarm fora year or two. Then, as they got into some legal trouble which resulted in the selzure of their farm tor the satifaction of a devt, they shook the dust of Georgia from their feet ‘and have never been heard of since by Georgians. In 1867 one George R. Zinboth came into possession of the Bonner farm, principally be- Cuuse he squatted there, and nv one disputed his right to the ssion. ‘Ten years later he went away, and its present owner took the furin, which_be has held now for nearly seven years, He, too, used the property for agricul- tural purposes, and, as a means of adding to its productiveness, ‘cleared away some of the lumber, in whieh the property was rich, It was while preparing some of the deuuded timber, lands for cultivation that the owner discovered’ gold in the lot then in process of clearance. A further Investigation resulted in the discovery 01 more geld hidden away down under the loam, and gold in sufficient quantity to pay to work'it, He Kept the fact of his discovery of the pre- cious metal a secret, aud started out two years ugo in search of the Bonner heirs, tn order to perfect his title. He weut to Englund and tried to find some trace of the missing heirs there. He failed, and came buck vo thiscountry on the Oregon, when she made her last trip, which ended ‘at the bottom of the ocean.” ‘Then he searched agaln through this country, and got Lawyer Henry D. ret, of” this city, to ‘ussist him. Mr. Garrett went to Cailfornia in search of ‘some Bonners ere, but found that- they Were not of Zadock’s vranch of that sumewbat numerous ‘Now the search for the ueirs Is neces- surly uta standsil.

At ten o'clock Dr. Diz, clad inan scademical gown, called the convention to order. The Rev. Edwin Harwood, of New Haven, Ct., moved that the roll call be dispensed with, which was carried. Dr. Benjamin Franklin, ofNew Jersey, presented & memorial, referring to the proper committee the restoring of the office ot the holy communion to its natoral order, asin the first book of King Edward VI. This committee is the committee gu the prayer book, but the memorial was tabled. Dr. Daizell, of Louisiana, presented a memorial urging the convention toatiandon the passiveat- titude hitherto assumed by the church toward: the Protestant bodies. It was referred to the com- mittee on the state of the ehureh. William Corn- wall, of Kentucky, presented a memor:al on the revision of the prayer book, which was also tabled. Mr. Burgwin, of Pittsburg, presented a memorial looking toward a uniform judicial sys- tem throughout alt the dioceses. On his own motion the memorial wus tabled.

Dr. Shattuck, of Massachusetts, presented @ memorial from the Free aud Open Church as- sociation, laying down the doctrine that ownership in pews does not give owner ship in the church property. Reterred to the committee on canous, Tho Rev. Cornelius Swope presented a memorial embodying reso- lutions from the New York Diocesan conven- tion, declaring, among other things, that it 1s expedient to consult the convocations of Can- terbury and York and the episcopate of Scot- land to secure uniformity of use throughout the Anglican communion, Mr. Swope also pre- sented memorials requesting uniformity in the Murriage law through the United States, A number ot memorials were presented relative to the proposed changes of the prayer book and jaid upon the table, the intention being to refer them to tie committee appointed on the revi- sion of the prayer book. Dr, Hopkins,ot Cen- tral Pennsylvania, presented a memorial for the establishment ofan appellate court. ‘Phe hour for taking up’ the order of the day having arrived, Dr. Huntington, ot New York, arose. “Be defended the appuintinent of a com: mittee to consider the revision of the book, and referred to a dispatch in a New York paper, in which the action of the committee of revision Was forecast, to the effect that the committee would requite ten years to complete its labors and ten years more to conclude negotiations with Canterbury and York. H@ agreed with the journalist, The one qualification which the committ ¢ on revision ought not to lack should be Americanism. [Applause.} Dr. Swope’s amendment that a commission of five bishops, five presbyters and five lays take the revision of the prayer-book in hand, to report at the next general convention, was then called up, He suid: “I am not an obstruc- tlonist, f, like my colleague, am for peace, but Lam tor iasting peace, not that of to-day or to- morrow, Longer time is required for such important work. The several dioceses of the church in this country within the last eighteen months have expressed themselves 80 a8 to make it certain that Book Annexed will never be adopted vy the church. On all sides there are objections, ‘Three years hence, 1 hope, something totally different from the Book Aunexed will’ be presented. Action now would stave off anything desirable for fifty years to come,”” James Parker, of New Jersey, proposed as a, substitute for both Dr. Huntingion’s resolution and Dr. Swope’s amendment that the subject Of the revision of the prayer-book be made the order of the day.

This result was reached about 4 o'clock. As the committee on credentials desired further time for the consideration of the case of contesting delegations from St, Louls, the rules were sus- pended, and the convention proceeded to dis- cuss the question of giving the support cf the order to the striking spinners at Amsterdam, N. ¥.; the tocked-out cotton workers ot A is ta, Ga.; "the curriers and tanners of Peabody and Salém, Mass, and the journeymen_plumbersof New York.
