Suppose they do “ meddle with politics’’—
have they not the right to do sot Is a man
to be shorn of his political riftbts on account
of his occupation t Has not a farmer a bet
tor right than any one else to do so t It is he
who, above all others, has a ** stake in the
soil.” It is his labor and toil tbat keeps all
other men afloat. Without the farmer no oc
cupation could prosper. He it is who literal

the creation, Moses says “ God saw there was
no man to till the ground "—be then describes
bow man was created .and placed in the garden
of Eden—what for f To set op as a banker,

and supplies many other wants. As a class,

“Bill Arp” and George W. Williams.
The eccentric " Bill Arp " has been to New
York, seeing tbo sights, of which be gives some
account in the Chronicle <t Sentinel. While
there he met Mr. George W. Williams, who is
personally known to many of our readers, and p i 0W .i, 0J8 worse than cadets,
those who do not know him have beard of him.
Marietta Military Iastltute.
A proposition having been made by the
Macon Telegraph «f- Messenger to the effect that
the Legislature shall appropriate 850,000 to
re-establish the Military Institute at Marietta,
a correspondent of tbat paper, over the signa
ture of •• Georgia." pitches in as fellows:
" What use have wo now for trained soldiers,
other than such training as our young men
may receive by attaching themselves to volun
teer military organizations now springing up
all over tbo State t What good is to be accom
plished by it to compensate for tbo outlay you
oainef I confidently assert that not only no
good will be accomplished, hut absolute in
jury. Wo waut our boys oducated, in order
to fit them for the activo duties of life. We
do not want thorn to strut around in a cadet
coat with brass buttons and gold fare ; to han
dle a musket and study the rules and articles
of war; but wo want in educate them to be
useful and industriuus citizens; to learn them
the manual of the plow, the loom aad the an
vil. Common school education is what we
want, uot “ fuss and feathers.*’ If you appro
priate $50,000 additional to the educational
food of the State, let it be set apart as a per
petual fund, the interest of which should an
nually he expended in giviug a thorough course
at the State University, to such youug men as
may exhibit a high order of talent in our grad
ed schools, whose parents are unable to incur
the expense of their college course. Thus you
would realizo to the State, in after years, tal
ents which are now rusting out for the want of
means to develop them.
“ If there are Georgia parents who have the
means and desire to give their sons a military
training and education, let them send them off
to such institutions'as are already established
in Virginia, Kentucky and elsewhere, and take
as much pride as they desire in their fine coats,
stripes and brass buttons. It is nobody’s busi
ness but their’s, if they foot the bills them
selves. I, for one, do not wish to be taxed to
start any more such nonsense and useless pa
rade aud show in Georgia, while to aid the
talented and ambitious poor youth in reaching
the topmost round in the University ladder, I
am willing to be taxed roundly. Aud there
are tens of thousands in Georgia who will say
arnou to this sentiment. One man educated
to till the soil, drive an engine, wield the ham
mer, the saw or jack-plane, is worth a thou*
sand military cadets to Georgia now.”
•• Georgia" is right. If any yonug bloods
wish to strut around in brass buttons, let them
do it at their own expense. The State needs
most sanguine expectations were surpassed.-
The examination of the pupils by Professors
Glenn, Orr, and Miss Margie, showed that .they
were teachers of the first order. The pupils
impressed me that much pains had been taken
to improve them mentally, morally and phys
ically. The examination was a success. The
declamation by the Juniors was very good,
tbo boys were a little fiery, but performed their
parts with much credit to themselves. The
original pieces by the Senior class would have
jioue credit to minds of more mature age;
their pieces were well written, and delivered
in fine style. The compositions by the vouug
ladies would have done credit to any ” Female
College ” iu tho country. They were read in
a clear, sweet voice, tbat could be heard over
the entire bouse. The music was excellent,
and reflects much credit on Mim Lizzie Birch,
who presides over that department.
The address by Prof. Lewis, of your city,
was one of tho best we ever heard, and if we
bad not seen or heard any thing else, it would
have paid us for the trouble of the trip. I
hope it will be published. Taking all togeth
er, it was ono of tho best entertainments of the
kind we ever attended.
Wo had the pleasure of visiting our old
friend,' Dr. McCarty and his good, lady; they
ere as hospitable and kind as iu days of yore,
and Colonel, if you visit Jefferson, and do not
feel like going to a Hotel, call on the Dr. and
lady, and you will get something good to eat,
they keep one of the best boarding houses in
all this country.
I bad the pleasure of making the acquaint
ance of tile Drs. Longs, Burns, and others —
We found them very hospitable. The morals
of the place are not surpassed by any place in
this country. We did not see a drank man, nr
hear an oath while there. I give it as my
opinion, tbat parents having children to edn-
cate, could not do better tbau send them to
Jefferson. The climate is healthy, the water
good, board cheap, tuition low, teachers
thorough, citizens moral and polite. H. S.
He gives the following account of the meeting.
The anecdote at the conclusion is a good one:
“ Greatly to my delight, I met my old friend,
George Williams, away v down William street.
He was just from the city of Charleston, where
- 1m rains as a king, and was in a very happy
frame of mind—I mean financially. I kuowd

iu spite of all be can do his money will ok*
]; arnulate faster than he can give it away.—
I’m afeord this worries him, and it does look
like a pity to see a man so dlscumflued with
money in his deeiinin years. Considerin tbat
lie is a Georgia Methodist, I hav thought be
might build em a college in Nacoocby, jest to
spite old Vanderbilt in Tennessee. I've no

George says that money is all vanity and
vexation ot spirit, and the way he talked about
the trubble and the care that it brings, I know

Hon. W. S. Groesbeck on the Sltaation—He
Proposes a New Party Organization.
Cincinnati, July 27.—The following let
ters of Hon. W. S Grosebecb, to the represen
tatives of tho new departure and liberal move
ment, in which be declines a candidacy for
Governor and gives bis views on the formation
of a now political organization, are published
this morning:
Cincinnati, Jnly24tb, 1873.
To Judge Collins :
Mr Dear Sir—I foel very much obliged to
you and the gentlemen who called to-day for
the honor you proposed to confer upon me,
but I will not reconsider the answer. I then
made. I will not accept a nomination for the
office of Governor. While this is so, I warmly
sympathize in what you propose to accomplish
and hope the time is near when present Dem-
ocrats and former Democrats and ail dissatis
fied Republicans shall be cordially united un
der a singlo organization. I do not tbink
there is
Anything Sacred in Mere Party Organizations.
They are only machinery, which should be re
paired when out of order, and renewed when
too much worn. A constitution of government
is a more sacred organization than that of a
political party act. We doot hesitate to pull
down a constitution in order to put up a nun-
one. We have a convention at Columbus now
engaged in tbat work. I give you the letter to
which you referred. It was writteu to a gen
tlemau in New York, before your movement be
gan, and without reference to it. It was
hut written for publication, and not exactly as
1 would have written it with tbat view; but
you are at liberty to publish it if you tbink it
may contribute in the least degree to a closer
and firmer union of all who are opposed to the
present administration:
Very respectfully,
W. s. Groesbeck.
Cincinnati, May 5,1873.—My dear sir:
have your letter of April 23. I should have
answered it sooner and have no sufficient apol
ogy for not doiDg so. Permit me to say that
the reply I here make to it is not for publica
tion but personal to yourself and to those at
whose suggestion you have written. ' I believe
the historical Democratic organization, is spoil
ed, blundering constantly daring the last ten
years and shattered by many defeats,
It Surrendered Finally
at tho last Presidential election. It cannot
recall that surrender or the confessions tbeu
made, and it ha» no longer strength enough
for victory. In this extremity it will be wise
to lay aside the old organization and euter in
to a new one The new organization should
accept the results of the ^r as was done at
Baltimore, and it should accept them in good
faith, and so as to command the confidence of
the peoplo. The new organizatiou.shonld be
something different from a recast of the old
ones. There should ba no exclusiveness about
it, nor should It be merely Democratic. It
should be madenp of presoot Democrats, for
mer Democrats and of all Republicans who are
offended by the policy and tendencies of the
preseut Administration.
The New Organization
should be the joint work of Democrats and
Republicans, aud both should'be equally at
homelu it—neither the guest of tbo other!
Yea ask what should be its name. Call it the
Liberal Democracy; that will mean the free,
unselfish government of the peoplo. And now f
as to.its doctrines or principles. Yon ask in
this connection, bow
The Question of Negro Suffrage
should be treated. That question is no longer
before us. Negro suffrage is the bloody con
summation of a great war, and nothing short
of war can undo it in our day. In my opinion
it will endure in this government as long os
general suffrage. I comprehended the objeo
lions to it, and think it was granted too soon
to tbat part of our population recently emanci
pated. All should make some preparations,
for to this day we deny suffice to the foreigner
for a time In order that he may prepare,for it
and we haves ‘ nls for all on the tbeory'th^t
all should prepare for it; but it is granted.'
and it cannot be recalled. Nor do I think it
wise in such a government as this to beep per
manently so large a part of our people in nu
inferior, degraded condition. Slavery was al
ways a danger. To hold this population now
frep in a degraded condition would boa great
er danger and rjways trouble us. Say we
have adopted a doubtful policy. It is done;
I accept R. au<| all such questions admitted to
he of doubtful expediency. I shall for the re-
t else you suggest. The no w
I concur in wli-at
organization should
Oppose all Fonns of Monrmoly.
This is too plain to need argument. Mon
opolies are an ontrage and an offence against
the people. Tho new organization should
Oppose all Centralization,
and it should advocate home government in
all local affaire, and to the utmost extent that
is practicable. Yon cannot keep a people
free, sturdy and intelligent without a home
government. It is homo government that
trains us, teaches self-reliance and developos
manliness, lake It away and the freeman
disappears. Centraiize power at Washington,
and we are transferred to outside management;
no longer, governing ourselves we must be
governed. Depending upon Washington we
lose ourself dependence, and the free citizen'
soon degenerates into a mere subject, whose
whnlo duty is to obey the law, aod whose only
desire is to he amused in idleness. You refer me
also, to
The Question of Free Trade '.
The new organization should make it one of
its cardinal doctrines. There should be no
equivocation or double mean’ng about this. A
prohibitory tariff is in plain contradiction to
the character of our Government. We are all
equal in rights, privileges and immunities
There should be no discriminations, no favor
itism, no partialities, personal or financial, and
as a commercial policy, a prohibitory tariff is
behind the age, almost h barbarism and be
longs to the times wheh nations were walled
and cemnnerce was without Vinga.
I believe I have substantially answored your
letter. The organization may properly antag
onize the party now administrating our affairs
at almost every point. While this is so, ii
should not undertake to do everything at once,
or puift reforms without some regard for imme
diate Consequences. Changes tbat shock by
their, iitird ptneksara n&t always just or fair. We
should
Never Forget Sound Principles,
and we shoald move toward them constantly,
surely and steadily, but ac the same time gra
dually. 1 don’t believe in daily revolutions or
in sudden and violent derangements of public
affairs. Let me suggest a doctrine to which
you have not referred. I mean the doctrine
of a
Strict Construction of the Constitution.
Have you considered what certain preventive
of misgovernment may be fonnd in the faithful
application of this doctrine f I believe such
an application of it wonld correct almost every
public evil of which we complain. It is worth
your while to test its reach aod efficiency, and
what a splondid doctrine for such a govern
meat as ours! How it exalts the individual
man, and bow it subordinates the government
It may fetter the government now and then
bnt never the citizen. He always remains
uppermost and master. I am not a politician
or competent to advise; but if yousbould make
such a movement as you propose, it should be
conducted so as to give the strongest assu
ranee that it sought reform aud oo place. I am
a Democrat, but I should bo vory glad to see
the democracy
More out of its Old Organization
into a new ono. You will not succeed unless
thoy do it. May be they will refuse and prefer
to tarry where they are for the balance of the
Tho Cholera.

The Ohio People’s Convention.
Columbus, Ohio, July 31.—The People
Convention nominated Isaac Collins, Demo,
crat, for Governor, and A. S. Piatt, Liberal
for Lieutenant Governor, and generally pre
sented a mixed tickot. The first resolution of
the platform is as follows:
“Resolved, That we declare against any
-aucus or convention that fails to present fit
candidates for office. It is the high privilege
as well as the bounded duty of ail good citi
zeus to withhold their votes from such candi
dates and regardless of party affiliations to
support the best men presented for official
position.”
The tenth resolution provides tbat duties on
imports as long as such duties are necessary
should be imposed for the purpose of revenue
only, and not for the purpose of benefiting or
enriching private individuals or companies, or
favoring particular branches of industry at the
expense of the whole people.
The attention of our readers is called to the
