NEW LAWS.
Tlw Legislature at its last srssionx
passed two laws which everybody should
know. One is, that when a planter gives
x merchant or cotton factor alien on any
property or for supplies to make his
r - * #
crop, that if said property or crop is sold
nail not applied to tlu payment of said
debt, such guilty p irty is liable "to be
pat in jail for one year.
The other law is to the effect that
lu per cent, interest is collectable by
luw when inserted in note.
Also it lias been decided by the Supe
rior Courts that verbal liciu are as good
as written liens when the facts can lie
proven.

ADDRESS TO VOTERS.
The following address to the voters of
the county was presented by Mr. A. F.
Luckie;
The “ Democratic Club of Athens,” in
view of the fact that they are an organiz
ed body of Democrats, deem it light and
proper that they express their earnest
wish that no man who claims to be a
Democrat will cast his vote in the com
ing electron for any man save the nomi
nee of the party. Such ill advised voting
has defeated the Democracy of the coun
ty heretofore; and that man who, con-
i trary to the wishes of the people, will
insist on opposing the nominee, is a dis
organize!, and no friend to the success
| ot Democratic principles. There are but
two panics—the Democrats and the
Uadicais—and one who opposes the
Democrats furthers the cause of Radical
ism. It does not matter whether this be
intentional or not, the disastrous result
is none the less certain. We then would
most respectfully beg that the Democra
cy will, on the day of the elec
tion, come to the polls cn masse, and by a
solid VOTE FOR DURHAM, TIIE
NOMINEE, elect a Representative of
people's choice, and rebuke the presump
tion of those who, while they call them
selves Democrats, act against our every
interest.
On motion the address was unanimous
ly approved, and 300 eopies ordered to
be printed for distribution.
On motion of Col. J. A. Sledge, it was
made the duty of the working commit
tee to confer with the Tax Collector and
prepare nn alphabetical list of all defaul
ters.
Mr. Jester being called upon, made a
few pertinent remarks, as to the import
ance ot uniting in support of the regular
nominee of the Democratic party.
On motion, the meeting udjourned.

Durham, the regular nominee for th
vacancy in the Legislature. lie is ■
known throughout the county as :c. in- !
telligent, honorable, and liberal minded
gentleman, who will on all questions act
conscientiously and with due regard
for the rights and interests of all. lie is
o';r no minee, and we mutt show to the
c i intv and the world, the power of or-
gir.dcd efforts to vindicate our choice.
Tuc evils of the past have resulted from
a want of effort—of organization—of due
interest in public affairs.
It is announced that the It idicals ot
the county have made no nomination.
It is not announced that they will not
attempt to poll all their strength against
the Democratic candidate. A victory
now is the permanent redemption ol the
county. We can,—VVe MUST achieve
it. Let every Democrat leave his plough,
his store, his shop and bis office, on the
dayof the election, and make one earnest,

The New Postal Bill—The
new postal bill, which has become a law,
authorizes the use of one cent postal
cards lor correspondence, similar to those
introduced in Great Britain nearly two
years ago. The House provided in the
bill for cards with a paper flap to cover
and conceal the writing; the Senate
changed this to an open card. In refer
ence to committee the style of card was
left to tiie discretion of the Postmaster
eral, who is understood to prefer the
open card. The tucc of the card will
lieat a one cent stamp, and will be pro
vided with lines for the address, and
the back will be ruled for the letter.
The postage on circulars, newspapers,
and other transient printed matter,
which under the old law was two cents
for every four ounces or less, is now one
cent for every two ounces or less. Small
circulars, which formerly cost two cents
to mail, can now be sent for one cent.

Who are the Impracticables!
We have earnestly sought to im
press upou our readers the importance
of adhering to principle ; we have be
lieved, and do still believe, that the
Democratic party was stronger the
day the Cincinnati Convention met
than it had been in twenty years—
that its great mission has not yet been
accomplished, and that a firm and
manly adherence to its principles
would wrest the government from the
hands of the spoilers, as soon as the
war passion had subsided, and the
people could be made to take a calm
i survey of the situation.
We are not among those who be
lieve that the election of Greeley is in
any sense a remedy for the evils we
endure. He is opposed to all the car
dinal tenets of the Democratic fuith,
and his objection to Grant is purely
personal, and uot in any sense based
on opposition to his centralism, or his
policy toward the South, because Mr.
Greeley has had much to do with
shaping all the measures of Grant’s
administration.
We believe the endorsement of
Greeley by the Democratic party will
kill that grand old organization ; we
have also grave apprehensions that
the masses will not vote for Greeley
“ to beat Grant,” but will stay away
from the polls, and Grant will be re
elected.
With these convictions we have
earnestly opposed the endorsement of
Greeley by the Baltimore Convention,
and have urged the importance of
sending true men to our State Con
vention, and of having an expression,
from every county, of the popular will
on this great question. Our county
convention enunciates the good old
doctrine of the fathers, and at the
same time, like good Democrats, re
cognizes Baltimore as the binding ex
ponent of party action. If the action
at Baltimore is regular aud fair it will
be the duty of Southern Democrats to
acquiesce in it.
We see nothing wrong—nothing
impracticable in this course, and we
are deeply gratified that it has been
endorsed by the Democracy of Clark,
and other counties of North-East
Georgia. Head the resolutions of the
Madison county meeting—composed
of the most sterling and true men in
the county.
It will be remembered wbat a howl
was set up from one end of the coun
try to the other when Congress, in the
Spring of last year, passed the bay
onet election law, giving the military
the supervision and control of all elec
tions in cities of twenty thousand or
more. Mr. Greeley boa ted of being
the father of that law in New York
through the coin milt! of his despised
i 1'ibune. lie was, however, dissatis
fied with the law only in one particu
lar, as the following extract from an
article in the IrUnme, of the 31st of
May, 1871, just one year ago, will
show:
“It is urged by>the Democratic
organs that the law is to be enforced
in State and municipal elections.—
This is done to make it more obnox
ious, if that be possible, to their party.
Bui, UNFORTUNATELY, this
is an error. The law applies only to
Presidential and Congressional elect
ions, THOUGH WE HEARTI
LY WISH IT COUDD BE MADE
TO APPLY TO ALL
ERS.”

The Toombs Tirade.
Gen Toombs made one of his char
acteristic little harrangues, at the con
clusion of Judge Stephens’s speech in
Atlanta on Thursday night of last
week. He talked about bating the
United States government—trampling
its flag under his feet, and all that sort
of bombastic foolishness, which, if it
effected only himself, might be pardon
able—but it comes back in barbed ar
rows of Federal oppression to torment
his people, and his regard for them
might temper his wayward tongue
with more discretion. It is to be re
gretted that liis remarks have been
published. They are in no sense fit
for publication. They are utterly un
worthy of their eloquent author—be
ing irreverent, disjointed, and offensive
in every respect. Gen. Toombs has

Let as Rare Peace.
We regret to sec indications of a
determination in certain quarters to
vindicate Democratic principles by
running a “ straight-out ticket,” if
Greeley is adopted at Baltimore.—
With the lights before us, we do not
see how any practical good can result
from such a movement, and much
mischief may grow out of it. A
straight ticket will not only make
doubly sure Grant’s election ; hut pro
duce such bitterness as to destroy har
monious action in our State and coun
ty organizations, which must be pre
served if the National party is lost in
the Greeley folly.
If Greeley is nominated at Baltimore
and defeated, those Democrats who
have sought to prevent the Greeley
muddle must not place themselves in
a position after the nomination, to be
held in any sense responsible for the
election of Grant, or the more woful
calamity of State disorganization.—
With State unity we can endure the
election of a Radical President, wheth

MARY A. FeDWARDS,
The last Watchman, referring to the ; Speech of Judge Stephens.—
men in the county.” and adds that the
resolutions adopted by public meetings
in this section are not reliable indices
of public sentiment. Very few per
sons attend them, and not a half a
dozen vote yea or nay, as a general
rule.”
Our information is, that not only in
Clark, but, in all the counties where
meetings have been held, the purest
and best citizens have taken part in
them. That they have not been more
largely attended has been due mainly,
we believe, to the fact that the planters
are busy with their crops.
In the Clark meeting, the commit
tee on resolutions consisted of Col. W.
L. Mitchell, Dr. Price, Dr. H. H.
Carlton, A. L. Mitchell Esq., and
Emory Speer Esq. These gentlemen
are each perhaps quite as familiar with
the public sentiment of the county as
the editor of the Watchman, and are
in no sense “ impracticables.” We
learn that four sets of resolutions were
before them, including a set on the
Greeley to beat Grant” line, from
the editor of the Watchman. The
committee agreed unanimously upon
the resolution reported, and they were
unanimously adopted. Possibly if the
resolutions reported by the editor had
been adopted, the meeting would not
have appeared to him so insignificant.
It is necessary to add, in reply to
the assertion of the Watchman that the
meeting allowed “ one anti-Greeley
delegate to represent the very small
faction of impracticables,” that the
sentiments of the delegates in refer
ence to Greeley were not known,
sought to lie known by the meeting.—
It was enough that the delegates are
good Democrats, and that they assent
ed to the resolutions adopted, one of
which declares that—
“ In our opinion it would be3t se
cure our rights to nominate candidates
of our own for President, even i£ as a
matter of policy, it become necessary
to leave the electoral colleges free to
decide befweep Grant and Greeley, as
a choice of evils, etc.”
But Trbatevpr m*y be done at Balti
more, if Democratic principles are
maintained, and the Democratic or-
endorsement of Greeley at Wahington
says:
“But Georgia will endorse the ticket
aud her people will vote it. They are
not willing to have four years more
like the past four, just to gratify the
whims of a few impracticable gentle
men who have long since determined
to “ rule or ruin,* and whose insatiable
lust for power brought upon us all our
woes.”
We have had afti idea that the un
constitutional aggressions of the aboli
tionists, with Greeley at their head,
had a little something to do with caus
ing “ all our woes.” According to the
Watchman, they were “ all’ brought
about "bythelust for power of our own
impracticable people." That is what
Greeley has been charging, and all
who have that estimate of the Confed
erate cause can vote for Greeley per se
—not merely to beat Grant—and
might have done '-it any time iu the
last ten or twelve years. If we
thought such sentiments animated the
Georgians who “ endorse the Greeley
ticket,” we would not touch the un
clean thing with a rod pole.
“Come Back Racket—the Varmint’s
Gone.”
Mr. Hill in his Atlanta speech said
that “ the Cincinnati movement has
brought about the passage of the am
nesty bill, the modification of the bay
onet bill, and the restoration of the
writ of habeas corpus^” The chief reason
that has been urged, for the support of
Greeley by the Democratic party, is
to get rid of these oppressive measures
of the Grant administration. As we
are so happily rid of them in advance,
about the entire stock in trade of the
Greeley alliance is exhausted. It
“ the varmint is gone” we might as
well call back the *' Rackett,” Demo
crats, who have gone off in a state of
demoralized despair and see if we cant
get them to follow the old trail of con
stitutional princioles.
Not Greeley, bnt Honesty.
Mr. Hill, in his Atlanta speech, al
luding to what Greeleyism has done
for us said:
“ Thank God, this Marshal law cm
no longer be. Grant has no more
porver to take away the liberties of the
people by the suspension of the writ of
habeas corpus, than you and I have,
aud that glorious result is attributable
to the combination of the Democrats
and the Greeley Republicans.”
If Mr. Hill had said that jresult was
due to the co-operation of honest reform
We need make no apology for filling
so much of our space with the speech
of Hon. Linton Stephens. We do not.
quite keep up with him in his advanced
ideas ot insisting that the repeal of the
oppressive measures under which 3ve
suffer be made a Democratic test ques
tion. We must take the best we can
get, and await the verdict of a calm
public opinion on the usurpations com
plained of. But we rvould see the
political faith of the people kept strong
and pure and uncoutaminated, aud
hence advise everybody to read the
speech.
Colonel F. Schaller.
Both the letter of Colonel Schaller
to the Sparta Times and Planter and
his paper on “ Immigration of Capi
tal aud Population to the South” are
documents worthy of attentive consid
eration by the people of Georgia, aud,
indeed, by the people of the South gen
erally. They are worthy of it from
their source. Colonel Schaller, al
though a foreigner, is no adventurer.
A resident ef the South when the rvar
began, he took up arms in our defense,
and commanded, with great credit to
himself, a regiment of artillery.—
Since that time his attention has been
largely devoted to the subject of tbe
introduction of capital and labor into
the South. He was chie% the author
of the first immigration bill which was
introduced into and rejected by the
Republican Legislature of Georgia.—
Afterwards the same bill was recon
sidered, emasculated by cutting out
its most valuable features, and passed.
The State Agricultural Society, under
whose auspices the original bill was
introduced, disavowed it. The com
missioners accomplished nothing.—
The bill was repealed by the succeed
ing Legislature. It is to bo feared
that the bluuder of the Legislature
which passed the deformed bill has
affected the public mind unfavorably
towards a subject of vital importance
to the people of the whole South.
Colooel Schuller's views in regard
to it are worthy of attention, both
from the man himself and the thor
oughness of his acquaintance with the
whole subject of immigration—a
thoroughness, perhaps, not equalled
in any person in the South, certainly
in Georgia.
