FRIDAY MORNING, April 29.
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
Fitch has received an advertisement from
a s.,up firm in the North, who propose to
pay 1‘orits insertion in the Star in soap.—
Their circular mentions that the proprietors
of the Davenport Democrat, trade a good
deal of money by this means. Fitch an
swers them thus:
Griffis, Ga., April 20.
Dear &lr—Your generous proposition
fills me with unspeakable gratitude. V pre
sume the “Davenport Democrat” has by.
this time become sufficiently affluent from
frem the sale of your soap, to retire from
business. I abhor the idea of sudden
wealth, preferring to gradually accumulate
a competence I must, therefore, with
•treat reluctance, decline your very gener
ous and extremely soapy proposal.
Our Alabama exchanges are busily dis
cussing the coming political campaign.—
They are diliigently striving to get np an
acceptable Democratic platform. The issue
at present among the Democratic journals
Is. whether or not the party will commit it
self to an opposition to negro suffrage. The
Register (Mobile) is in favor of making
repeal ol the negro suffrage laws a promi
nent plank in the platform. The Mont
gomery Advertiser opposes this measure as
impolitic. All papers agree to accept the
dictum ol the Democratic Convention. The
Gadsden Times calls for the assemblage of
the Convention in Selma in a very short
time. The Advertiser and other papers of
its faith do not propose to accept negro
suffrage as a fixed and immutable fact, but
merely oppose the lugging of the negro
question into the present campaign as in
opportune and impolitic.
The Savannah Republican records a case
in which Ordinary Wetmore, a Republican
Judge, who discharged a prisoner in the
face of an arrest warrant issued-by Bullook.
on the ground that Bullock was not Gover
nor of Georgia. This Judge held that Ter
ry was the Chief Executive authority of
Georgia. The Republican sensibly demands
that Congress must give os a Governor who
the judicial authorities will recognize.
The Chronicle & Sentinel, in quoting-
from and commenting upon Senator Mor
ton’s ku kh’.x speech, furnishes us with
what Morton claims to bs a true list of the
officers of the shadowy klan. Their very
names are enough to freeze the marrow in
the bones of a carpet-bagger or scallawag.
“The officers of this * shall consist of a
grand wizard of the empire and his ten ge-
neii; a grand dragon of the realm and his
eight hydras; a grand Titan of the Domin
ion and bis six furies; a grand giant of the
province and his four goblins; a grand cy- r
clops of the den and his two nighthawks:
a grand magi; a grand monk; a grand exche
quer; a grand Turk.”
The Dalton Citizen, in an able article,
presents some of the evils that will arise
from the “free school” system. Assuming
(correctly we think) that the intent of the
iramers of the bill is to enforce social equal
ity. It closes with the following :
“Of course our people will never affiliate
1 with the negro; nor will they permit their
' children to attend these public schools. We
fear Done of these things; but that which
wc do fear is, that the dominant party will,
in its blind, fanatical zeal, enact laws simi
lar to those of Prussia, compelling our peo
ple to send their children or pay a heavy
fine in case of non-compliance.
Our State exchanges are considerably
exercised over the Senator Pomeroy bill.
Tbe general opinion is that an election
will be held this fall (though the Era seems
to deny this) but that the ballot boxes will
bo under the control of Terry and Bullock,
to such an extent that the result will be
doubtful. So one thinks it is probable that
- the militia will organized. The Chronicle
& Sentinel contends that Hill and Miller
are the rightful Senators, by Pomeroy’s
amendment, and that Blodgett is politically
ngone sucker. Socially and morally he
has been a departed sucker for some time.
THE LEGISLATURE.
This body of wise men met on yesterday:
—having adjourned on Wednesday last.—
It is probable that they will adjourn again
until the House had acted on Pomeroy’s
bill.
It is our opinion that they should ad
journ sine die They have drawn pay for
about 40 days (we think) and have dene
literally nothitfg.
Wc hope we will not be deemed disre-
spcetful when wc state that it is gradually
becoming au immense nuisance.
Tiio fall elections may have a softening
'effect upon the harsh Radicalism of some
of the extremeists, and bring them to a
Conservative standpoint. If they still per-
- sue the course (hat disgraced themselves,
aud disgusted tbe State in the March ses
sion, we shall ardcutly pray that our speck-
led Legislature, with its pomp and pride,
-will melt away like au April snow and re
solve itself into au April dew.
A Tiger fob “BRicK.”-“Briok” Pomeroy

ic.! Association of this city. He also sends
his picture and an autograph letter. A

THE PRESS CONVENTION.
By reference to another column, it will
be seen that the Press Convention now in
session at Savannah has drawn together a
large number of the leading editors of the
State. We do not know what their course
will be; whether they will confine tbair ac
tion to the making of rula* by which to
govern the advertising rates, aud tie gen
eral meehauicil c induct of their papers.
- or whether they will touch up-m political
questions aud work out a policy for tbe
Democratic press of the State.
That it wonld bs advisable to take meas
ures to preserve a stricter harmony of views
aud lessen unprofessional qaa-reUng aud
bickering, of tbe political papers of the
State. We do not doubt.that some general res
olutions shadowing out the general policy
that the papers should pursue upon the
leading issues of the day might be adopt-
. <od with benefit to all, and without a sacri
fice of freedom of opinion by any.
We shall keep our readers advised of all
important measures adopted by this body,'
t One thing is certain—-that a fraternal
feeljng will spring np between the meipbers
of 'lie Fourth estate and that the illimitable
feelings that has characterized the Press
Gang of Georgia for the past few months
will be done away with.
Tbe poor fellowB will have a good time
too. They are the hardest worked men'
tbo wi rid auil the few days frolicking au id
the cool groves of Savannah aud a few sniffs
of the vivaoiousiea air will bs a great ‘

sanctums with brave hearts and freshened
brains, ai d tor many days will be tenderly
mellow with the memory of the gala days
in the rich old city by tbe sea.
It is now reported that the President
very much opposed to the Pomeroy Amend
ment, and says that if it passes the Senate
he will veto it. His objection is, that it
keeps Georgia under provisional govern
ment, aud he wants the reconstruction mud
dle cFsed up.. ,
[Special CorretpoEdcnoe of the Borne Courier.]
St. Louis Mo., April 13th 1870.
Dear Courier :—Nearly months since,
I was in the Capitol of Indiana. At that
time the Legislature was in session and the
black Republicans weretiyingto ratify the
fifteenth amendment, but the Democrats
would vacate their seats and left, both
branches without a quorum. They tried
oatch those wily democrats “napping” for
some time but finally, give it up aud ratified
it unlawfully. About a week ago I was
.again iu the city, desiring to see the State-
House, I strolled out and found a dingy,
old building, that would be a credit to In
diana provided the citizens could recall
about fiftyJyears.Ttme fcas dealt roughly with
the walls, and general appearance: I visi
ted the library and the gentlemanly Libra
rian kindly offered to show me the two
Hells. The speakers desks and those for
the members are hard looking ; still they
make some pretences to elegance. In two
or three rooms adjoining the library,
found many objects of interest. Collected
together are about one hundred and fifty
Flags, tbe different eavalry Infantry and
artillery regiments and companies carried
during the late war, with almost ioumera-
ble relics captured, duriog the four years
conflict, Flags, Uniforms, Torpedoes,
Swords, Guns, knives. Handcuffs, Curren
cy, shot shell, Pistols, ;Belts Artillery, aud
in fact nearly everything that the confeder
ate used durin.v the war are carefully stow
ed and labeled, when captured and by
whom. Tbere are a few other relies, bnt
they are magnificent in comparison to the
number above named. I noticed a flag of
the 3d Georgia (Rivalry, a dressing gown
worn by W<rz, photographs of| some
of the Andersonville sufferers, taken in a
nude state, just before and after death coo
spiouously posted. The sight is horrifyms
beyond discretion,- and calculated to stir
the blood of any christaiu heart, all show
ing the dark. side. There are no photo
graphs thereof the sufferers of Rock Island
Johnson Island, Camp Chase, and Camp
Donglass, that slerp in their quiet graves
in a strange land, nnkniwn uncared for, ex
cept by the broken hearts that love and
cherish their memories. Bnt I believe
that guardian angels watch over their graves
and shed tears, far too pure and holy for
sinful man to look at, and may ice not hope
that at the greet resurrection, they may be
crowned with an emblem of peace, aud vic
tory that shall not fade away. I reached
this city on the 9th inst ,as I came through
Indiana and Illinois, I beard - a great deal
about the negroes. They have vot;d ficently
for local offices—a great many men seem
much annoyed by the negro voting, and I
believe it will iu the end, result in victory
for the Democrats, as I heard republicans
say they would never vote for republican
candidates again—some refused to vote at
all, they think it is well enough for “reb
els” to be distranchised, aud negroes to rule
them, but they don’t relish the situation for
themselves—and the Democrats are gaining
beyond doubt. Keep quiet in Georgia
the chickeai arc ooming home to roost.”
—She meat looks very poor and unPromis
ing, but some think it will come out yet. I
notice very little sigu of spring as yet, and
it seems winter will never take its departnre.
As I approached this city, I was annoy
ed at the smooty appearance it prese ts
from the eastern bank of the Missouri river.
Its church’towers and masonic buildingB
loom up from the western bank; great'douds
of black smoke from tbe numerous steam
boats aud manufactories hung like a pall
over this city, showing it is iosurpaased in
commerce and manufactories by auy city
» the West. It stretohes along the river
for fifteen miles and the late annexation
of Carondelat increases its population very
much, aud it is now aousidered beyond
a doubt, the “Queen of the We3t,” a dis
tinction that ‘Cincinnati J has so long a ud
proudly born. Its natural facilities, are
unsurpassed. As “Queen of the West’’
she wears the crown, and will ever wear it,
without a rival jo the west, while she press
es on to take rank iu pipulqtioq and wealth
and extent of business with the great shies
of the East. On the 12th inst., the uegroes
had a grand '.celebration; they celebrated
the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment to
the 0 institution; the display wa3 grand,
and there were many in that procession
that will never be more happy. This great
day of rejoicing has been enjoyed to Its
fullest extent by tbe negroes in tbe South,
it is an old song now, five years Will satisfy
th« newly enfranchised. It is no very speexa
Providential blessing aft T all—they will
have bieasings bestowed which I think they
will have more cause to be thankful to
Providence .for. Carondelet in older than
St.. Louis, by several years, and I heard.wos

A few years since it contained a bouse built

Manufacturing Southern Cotton in tne
• Southern States.
The most troublesome thing about our
Southern farmers is that they have not got
any “cotton sense.” They, know that “cot
ton >s king,” aud they care to know no more
They plant cotton to tbe exclusion of corn
and bay, receive a small modicnm of green
backs, spend them hastily and then starve
leisurely, cheered by the memory of their
late temporary affluence. The suicidal na
ture of this policy is becoming apparent and
appreciated. The key-note of all sensible
reformers in this department ought to be :
A medium cotton crop aud a bonus sef
aside for the establishment of local cotton
factories. If our farmers and capitalists
will establish factories in al sections of
Georgia, and turn the raw cotton into yarn
and cloths, instead of shipping it to Eng
land in an unworked state, a half crop wi 1
then be worth more money than a whole
crop now.
The New York Times thus speaks ol it:
“Southern papers are discussing the project
which was in such favor just previous to the
war, of manufacturing a large share of the
ootton crop into yarns and coarse cloths,
instead of shipping it-to Europe in the bale.
It is claimed that by doing so the stiple
woald be increased in value by .the addi
tion of labor fully one hundred per cent.
The average crop is now worth $200,000-
000, and if half of it were,spun it would
realize $300,000,000, besides employing
thousands of operatives and inviting large
emigration.
It is claimed that yarns can be manufac
tured at the South of equality to those made
abroad, and that they would sell readily iu
European markets. The consequence would
be that the surplus spinners of the Old
World would be obliged to come to the raw
material instead of the raw material going
to than) as now, and moreover a virv Hr ;e
saving in freight would ha effeoted. Tho
scheme is certainly a dazzling one, and we
shall be glzd to see it carried into opera-
tim. The South now hits-less than 200-
000 spindles, while the North has 5,84$-
477. If the South could spin its owd oot
ton, or one-half of it, and send it abroad iu
the shape of yain, the. above proportion in
spindles would soon be reveised.”

Commernlal wtasnation-
A general stagnation in business seems
just now to prevail in ail the principal cities
of the United Stairs. Iu New York, on
Broadway, we read there are four hundred
palatial stores - ceking occupants, and below
Wall street it ya*almost impossible to rent
stores at even fifty per cent of the priees of
a year and.a half or two years ago. It is
evident rhat the business of New York is
suffering from a decline, though the condl
lion of trade in Boston an Philadelphia
is bad enough and complained of very bit
terly.. The decline in the price ol gold, or
more properly speaking, fhe appreciation of
the national currency, has taken the specu
lative inflation out of the business of New
a that business
verybody'Jsbe-^
ginning to find out that business is over
done. ...
It is yoryplain that in every city, town
ard village in the country there arc three
persons engaged in trade and mercantile
pursuits where me could do the business of
three. There are too - many engaged in
trade and too few producers. The fields
are bemg neglected. Business men are not
making money as they have heretofore
made it, yet their extravagances are not in
the least abated. People have not got over
paying war prices for things that they need
and for manyrirings that they do sot peed,
but which tyranical -fasqion compels them
to pay. Many of ns do not measure our
eoat according to onr cloth, and live within
our incomes, because we are ashamed of
onr plain apparel; of odr frugal table; of
onr poor relations, of onr meagre incomes;
of onr smaU business—ofa thousand things
in fact, which in strict reason ought to cre
ate no snch feeling.
Tod maDv arc even ashamed of doing
right, and will stifle ttie vtiee pf conscience
sooner than brave the sneei of the upprin-
Probab’.y the, largest patt. of extravagance
and immorality of tbe day may be traced
to this source. A false shame- of this sort
keeps many a lusty young fellow from put
ting his hand to the p ow or the jack-plane
with a man y will and independence. Too
many men linger in idleness about the towns
and cities, and the fields are deserted. Con
sequently wc are rapidly becoming a race
of consumers, producing nothing. When
this is the'casc. how is universal bankrupt
c ■■ to be avoided ? How are we to avert
the calamity of an inevitable financial crash?
If we produce nothing; if we become a race
of traders-and-not-workers; if our extrava
gant expenditures are largely in excess of
our means—what else cold he expected-bat
final cial dif tress and hard times ahead.—
Tbe country must encourage immigration,
agricnltare, manufactures, for without them
commerce mast languish and real estate
and otb*r properties depreciate in' value.—
Tbere may be general stagnation now, but
it is a mere ciphery<t to what it may’ be-

In this city a number of uentlcmon have

leave of absence, io commence next Mon

All theso things only the more positively

Mr.-Bryant moved that the Boose do
anw proceed to traAsael- such business ra
properly come before it. : TZfftJtfjjBJFdSL-J
Mr. Bryant choaght the Home should
either prooeed to business or adjoorn.—
The tax bill, appropriation act and school
bill ought now to be aeted on. The affairs
of the State Road ought to be investigated
by men ontaide of the members of die Leg
islature, known for honor and integrity..
Grave charges are made against its present
management, and those charges should be
investigated.
The charges of Treasurer Angies against
Gov Bnllock should be investigated, sad if
sustained, tbe Governor should be impeach
ed. As one who helped to elect Bullock,
he,stood ready, when the charges were pro
ven, to rote fop his impesshmaat.
Mr. Rice a Northern eolporicar, hen
called Mr. Bryant to order.
The Speaker thought Mr. Brysnt had
taken too wide a range.
Darnell, cf Pickens, offered as a substi
tute, that a joint committee of three from
the Senate and five from the H use be ap
pointed to wait upon Provisional Govern
or Bn'loek and ascertain what is the prop
er coarse to be pursued by the General
Assembly under the present eircumstin
ees.
Mr. Phillips, of Echols, made a forcible
speech in favor of transacting appropriate
business and going home.
Mr. Price, of Lnmpkio, offered as a sub
stitute for the whole, a resolution that a
committee of three be appointed to wait
upon Provisional Governor Bollock and in
furm him that the House had met and was
ready to proceed to business .and receive any
communication from him.
Mr. Br.ant withdrew his motion.
Mr. Scott, of Floyd, raised a constitution
al point of order that, under article 3, sec
tion 3, no session can be prolonged longer
than forty days, unless by a voti of two-
thirds. ■
Mr. Scott contended that members had
sworn to support the Constitution of Geor
gia, and even as a provisional Legislature
were acting under it. The Legislature has
been in session 47 days, and any act now
performed is unconstitutional unless the
House should resolve to suspend the rates
and extend the essior. for ten or fiifteen
d*ys-
The Speaker ruled that the point was int
well taken.
Mr. Scott appealed from that decision*
The House refused to sustain the call f-r
the yeas and nays, and sustained the Speak -
er’s decision. ' -ifis Shi;
Mr. Price, of Lumpkin,' supported his
resolution in a pointed speech. He was ib
favor of treating Gov. Bullock with courte
sy, bnt he was unwilling to acknowledge
that Gov. Bollock- was a Provisional
Governor. The Legislature should
act. He would stay here untilthe State
Treasury was exhausted ofitslast dollar,
or a Common School bill wis passed.
Sir. Price cafled tbe previous question
on his resolntion.
Mr. Tweedy, of Canada, said it
fiir to gag the Republicans.
Mr. Price said that, as he disliked to
act disconrteons to the Governor, and sup
posing the gentleman bad something official
to state, and with that understanding, he
wonld withdraw the call.
Mr. Tweedy, of'Canada; then “spoke a
piece” (what he paid for it is not known)
iilar.' At the close of his remarks he
move 1 that Mr. Price’s-resolqtioa be laid
upon the table.
The yeas and nays were called, with the
followingresult: yeas 56, nays'53.'
So the motion to lay on the table pre
vailed.
The previous question was called on Mr.'
Darnell’s resolntion.
Tomer, of Bibb and Porter, of Chatham
wanted to change the phraseology of the
resolution.
Turner was opposed to asking Gover
nor Bnllock what the Le gislator should
not do.
The previous question was called npon
the passage oi Darnell’s resolution. -
The Speaker decided the motion lost.
Mr. Btyant moved to adjourn until 12
M., to-morrow.
Mr. Tweedy made a statement, npon
which the Speaker reversed his previous
decision.
The Speaker announced the resolution
adopted by yeas 82, nays 55.
The Speaker announced the following
as the committee: Darnell, Price, Bell, oi
Banks. H&rrisoj, of Hancock, and Nisbel
of Dade.
Leave of absence was granted to Mr.
Lastinger, Mr. Tumlio, and Williams of
