Hon. B. 11. Hill’s Speech.
Wo copy from the Augusta Constitutionalist
a synopsis of tho great speech recently deliv
ered in Atlanta by lion. B. II. Hill, because
we have not room for tho entire speech this
week.
It is scarcely needful for us to assure our
readers that we do not sympathize with the
reporter’s viows in reference to tho propriety
of Mr. Hill speaking in defense of his past
course, especially >n regard to the Greeley
movement, without which we do not beliovo
tho great Democratic victories of the past year
would havo been achieved. Nor was it at all
improper to refer to bia connection with the
memorable Delano banquet. Not only his en
•mics, but many of his friends also, had found
fault with him on thisaccount. Whenever he
can satisfactorily explain tho matter, wo think
it cminontly proper he should do so, without
being subjected to the charge of egotism.
War with Spain.
The impression is gaining ground that the
Grant administration is seeking to provoke a
war with Spain in reference to the unsettled
Virginius affair— not that war is necessary to
vindicate the honor or rights of tho United
States, but ns a means of saving tho Radical
party from disintegration and securing a third
term to Grant.
Monstrous as such an idea is, we should not
bo surprised to find that something of tho sort
is really in contemplation. Nor need it be
said that Grant can't do any thing of tho sort
Our past history shows that the President
may plunge tho country in a war with a for
eign powor without waiting for the action of
Congress.
Nor is it safe to calculate that a war with
Spain would bo a slight affair. It is true that
Spain is rated as a woak power, but sho is far
strongor than Mexico, and those of us who re
member our ” breakfast spell” with that dis
tracted country reccolloct that wo were all
very anxious to seo peaco before tho wolcomo
nows greeted our ears.
Andy Johnson in the Senate!
Tho Legislature of Tennessee elected Ex-
President Johnson to the U. S. Senato ono day
last week, aftor ono of tho most obstinato con
tests ever witnessed, oven iu that State.
Although Mr. Johnson has many political
sins to answer for—although he grievously-
wronged his native South—yet, when ho found
Radicalism attempting to run rough-shod ovor
the Constitution, he struck manly blows in its
defence—sufiered political martyrdom on ac
count of his fidelity to its teachings—aud, we
doubt not has long since repontod of bis wrong
doing. Believing this, and furthermore, that
he will shower his powerful sledge hammer
blows upon tho Radical party when he takes
his seat, we rejoico at his return to the Senate.
With all his faults, ho can now make himself
useful in mauling tho very breath out of the
fcsteriDg carcuss of tho corrupt party which
ho has abundant cause to hate.
Mr. Johnson has always claimed to bo the
champion of popular rights. We trust he w ill
now •• prove his faith by his works.”
CLARKE COUNTY HAS DECLARED FOR
BEN HILL.
As will bo seen by the following report of
the proceedings of a meeting held in this city
last week, so far as Clarke has spoken,
she is in favor of Ben Hill.
The meeting was held at an hour when we
could not attend, and many others were pre
vented, from various causes, from going.
Certain persons have asserted that there
were but eight or ten present at the meeting.
This is a mistake ; as we are assured by Mr.
John H. Newton ami other reputable citizens
that between thirty and forty personsattended.
It is to be hoped that tho people of all the
counties of the District will give expression to
their preferences.
University of Georgia.
Ou Thursday last, Mr. Dubose introduced
into the Senate a bill to repeal certain sections
t>f the Codo in reference to tho University of
Georgia and to insert others in lieu thereof.
The proposod changes, if adopted, will dis
place tho present Board of Trustees, thirty-
odd in number, and authorize tho Governor to
appoint nine, who shall, after the first Board
created under this Act, bold office for tho term
of six years. At the first appointment three
shall hold two years, threo four years, and the
remaining three six years. When vacancies
occur, they shall bo filled by the Governor.
(gTbese are briefly tho provisions of tho now
bill, which is drawn, we presume, to meet the
views expressed in the Governor's message.
Patapseo Guano.
Tho company interested in the manufacture
of Patapseo Gnano having complained of Prof
White's analysis, alleging that they had been
greatly damaged thereby, tho matter was re
ferred to a committee of the State Agricultural
Society. After a full inquiry and a patient
investigation of the case, the committee fully
sustained the correctness of Mr. White’s anal
ysis, but expressed the opinion that the jar
analyzed, was not, by a mere accident, a fair
specimen of the Patapseo Guano.
<( Text Book of Scientific Agriculture,
IFi'tli practical Deductions, intended for the use of
Colleges, Schools and private students, Bg
E. M. Pendleton, M. D. Professor of Agri
culture and Horticulture in the University of
Georgia.”
The crowded state of our columns prevent us
from giving this excellent work of the learned
author's such notice os Ps great worth merits.
Such a book has been greatly needed, and we
are glad that Dr. Pendleton has found time to
prepare it. It ought to bo in the bands of
every intelligent farmer in the land.
Throat-Cutting.
Two negroes ontored a small grocery store
in Atlanta, near the colored university, ono
night last week, and inquired for whiskey.
The proprietor, who was counting his money
preparatory to closing for the night, went
into tho cellar with them. In a few minutes
one of them returned alone, which excited the
suspicion of the grocer's wife, who, looking
down into the cellar, saw the other negro de
liboratcly cutting her husband's throat! She
raised an alarm and tho negro fled. It was
found that before cutting bis throat, his head
had been beaten with an iron bar. He was
still alivo at last accounts, and the negroes in
Jail.
f Georgia University Magazine.
As will appear by tho prospectus insorted in
another column, it is proposed to revive this
publication, under the control of tho two Lit
erary Societies of the Univorsity of Georgia.
Not only every alumnus, but every friend of
the institution ought to take an interest In this
matter. Such a publication will not only give
the students practice in composition, but it
will be of great benefit to the institution, which
needs an official organ.
We heartily commend this new enterprise
to the attention of the public.
Election In the Ninth.
It has been annonneed that the Governor
will shortly issue a proclamation ordering an
election in Ibis District for a Representative
Congress on the 5th day of May.
Democratic Executive Committee.
The Atlanta paporo ntate that Col. Hocken
boll, the chairman, has called a meeting of
the Democratic Executive Committee of the
Ninth District, at Gainesville, on the 9th in
atant.
mntv w
ties of the 9th Congressional District.
Tho death of Hou. Garnett McMillan, our
Representative elect to the 44th Congress, is
sincerely mourned by us, in common with our
follow-citizens of the 9th Congressional Dis
trict. " no whoso ways are past finding out,
hath scon fit to remove him from us ; and
this dispensation of an inscrutable Providence 1
imposes upon the 9th District tho' responsible
duty of selecting a successor.
With an earnest desire, therefore, that tho
proper man for that purpose should bo select
ed, wo are satisfied this District^would do
honor to itself, and real service to tho State
and country, in returning as our Representa
tivo to the 44th Congress, the Hon. Benjamin
H. Hill, who has exhibited a statesmanship,
and insight into tho principles of government
and of constitutional liberty, surpassed by no
man living, in tho vast bounds of our exten
sive country.
Mr. Hill is well known in tho District—his
ability and eminent qualifications having
been largely canvassed previous to, and at the
Cleveland Convention last August ; when, af
ter forty-six ballots, his namo was withdrawn,
and the lamented McMillan unanimously nom
inated. And aftor the return of our delega
tion from that Convention, Mr. Hill express
ed himself as ready, if necessary, to stump the
District in favor of Mr. McMillan's election.
On tho question of eligibility, there is no
doubt—because Clarko county is still Mr.
Hill's home, for hero ho pays his poll and pro
fessional tax, and oven if it was not, tho quali
fication for members of Congress is fixed by
the Constitution of tho United States as fol
lows : “ No person shall bo a Ilopresentativo
who shall uot havo attained to tho ago of twen-
ty-fivo years, and been seven years a citizen
of the United States; and who shall notwhou
elected, bo an inhabitant of that State in
which ho shall bo chosen. Art. l,Sec. 2.
Const. U. S-. And Sec. 5, Art. 1, of the Const,
of the U. S. provides, that ‘Each House shall
bo tho judge of tho elections, returns, and
qualifications of its own members.”
It is clear, therefore, that uo State, by any
legislation, can add to, or take from the quali
fications prescribed by tho Constitution of tho
United States, and tho United States Houso
of Representatives has frequently so ruled.
Mr. Hill being thoroughly Identified in in
terest and sympathy with us, after numerous
and urgent solicitations ftom different sections
of tho District, has consented, if elected, to
servo us iu tbo 44th Congress.
Wo, therefore, present to our sister coun
ties of this District, the Hon. Benjamin H.
Hill, as tho man of our choice, above all oth
ers, to represent us in the next Congress, and
one whose services are peculilarly demanded
in this crisis of our history.
We hereby earnestly request Mr Hill, to
canvass tho entire District, if possible for him
to do so.
And wo respectfully recommend that each
of our sister counties assemble in Mass Meet
ing, at an early day. at their respective Court
Houses, and join with the views of this ad
dress, in presenting Hon. Benjamin n. Hill,
as tbo man demanded by tho times, for our
next Representative in Congress.

Hon. B. U. HID.
In reply to inquiries from many valued
friends, who have a right to know our senti
ments, we say that we shall heartily support
whomsoever the people of the Ninth District
may select as their standard-bearer. While
our personal predilections are strongly in
favor of Hon. B. H. Hill—whom wo regard as
the peer of any man in either House of Con
gress, and who has been worse used and more
unjustly abused than any man iu oar knowl
edge—we greatly fear that his chances are
being prejudiced by well-meaning but injudi
cious outsiders.
If Mr. Hill is a citizen of this District—and
ho claims that he is—we mean no disparage
ment to others when we say that ho is intel
lectually superiorjto any man in it, or out
sido of it either, for that matter. But at the
same time wo claim for tho peoplo of this Dis
trict sufficient capacity to select such a stan
dard-bearer as will suit their views, without
tho unsolicited aid of outsiders. We havo nev
er known such care lavished upon any other
District—and the conviction is forced upon
us that these disinterested individuals must
regard our people as incapable of making a
proper selection. We havo no objection to
Ben Hill, but wo do object on the part of our
people to being set down as incompetent to
solect a suitable candidate for Representative.

It is decidedly unfair to blame Stephens,
Bell and other Democratic members of the
House, for failing to speak on tho Louisiana
question.
While we fully agree with- every word that
has been written in praise of Gon. Gordon’s
speech in tho Senate, wo cannot join in the
condemnation of Democratic members of the
Houso on account of their alleged reticence,
simply because Louisiana affairs havo not yet
boon discussed In that branch of Congress
Our Representatives will, no doubt, bo beard
from, if they can get an opportunity.
Civil Rights.
A fiorce “ bear fight” was carried on last
week in the House at Washington, on the civ
il rights bill. Th: Democrats "fillibustered"
very successfully for a period of forty-six
hours, when the Rads “ caved," for the time
being, but they swear tbey will pass it this
week.
Raid among the Blockadcrs.
Wo learn from our Atlanta exchanges of
Friday last, that Collector Holtzclaw, assisted
by one or two deputy Marshals, had just re
turned from a raid among the “ blockaders”
of Rabun and Habersham counties. It is re
ported that twenty-two illicit distilleries were
seized and thirty-eight persons arrested for
illicit distilling. ______
The Convention Question
Is now before both branches of the General
Assombly—Senator Reese having introduced
a bill in the Senate, and Mr. Candler, of Hall,
presented the same bill to the House a few
days ago.
The bill has been carefully prepared, and,
in substance, provides that upon its passage
the Governor shall issuo a proclamation for an
election on tbo 13th of April, 1875, at which
the legal voters of tho State may vote upon the
question of holding a Convention for the pur
pose of revising the Constitution. It also pro
vides for the election of delegates on the same
day, and that the Convention, if called, shall
meet in Atlanta, on the Gtb day of July. The
ratio of representation is fixed at one delegate
to every four thousand inhabitants and fraction
theropf—each county, however, to havo at
least ono delegate.
We hope this bill will pass both Houses, and
then, if the people want a Convention, they
can speak authoritatively on that subject. If
tbey do not want it, no one ought to desire to
force it opon them.
For tbo Southern Watchman.
FROM THE CAPITAL.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 30tb, 1375.
Dear Watchman :—Another week has
passed, and very little of public interest bas
been dono by the General Assembly of Geor
gia, though a good deal of debate bas taken
placo during tho time.
In tho Senate, your earnest laborer, Hon.
Henry D. McDaniel, has introduced several
bills of general iuteiest—none local. The
Senate has passed ono of these, and it is now
ponding before tho House. It is to regulate
landlord's liens—to give the lien on tho crop
of the year for supplies and necessaries of all
kinds, furnished by farmors to tenants by-
operation of law, as the lien for rent arises
In case the lion is by contract in writing, it is
inado assignable, and may bo usod by the land
lord as a basis of credit. While much relief
will bo afforded, it will be rid of tbo most ob
jectionable features of the old lien laws. The
confusion of conflicting liens on same crop will
be avoided, and a community of interest es
tablished between the tenant and landlord.
In anothor bill now pending in the Senate,
Col. McDaniel provides for all porsons entitled
to tho homestead to waive and renounce the
benefits ol it, by written contract in favor of
any creditor, and thereafter that they, and all
persons nppllying for them, shall be forovor
stopped from sotting up a claim for a home
stead as against such debt. It is the opinion
of 3omo of tho best lawyers that tho purpose
of this bill can be accomplished under its pro
visions, and if it can bo passed, it will afford
a sound basis of credit to tbo people, without
tho necessity of re-enacting tbo general lien
laws. At tho same tirno, tho property of tho
people will bo unfettered.
In another bill pending, your Senator se^s
to diminish tbo multitude of cases that go to
the Supremo Court. The number is now so
great that tho decisions of tho Court are far
less valuable and certain, because tho Judges
are but men, and can only do well a certain
amount of work. Tho bill provides that Judges
of the Superior Courts may grant one new trial
in all eases, and oases shall not go to the Su
preme Court until after the second trial. If
tho new trial is refused, tho party losing the
case may go to the Supreme Court, as now pro
vided by law. It will bo seen that this will
cut off a large number of cases, without de
priving any body of his rights. Tho second
trial will generally result in settling tho law
and the facts of the case, and it will bo ended
in somo way.
Tim Senate is well up with the work of the
session. There is but little debate, speeches
being generally short.
I have not seen the bill irtrndnced by Mr.

Composed of PURE BONE, dissolved in Sulphuric Acid, and the

T HE high standard and uniform quality of the Ammoniated is guaran
teed, and, as an assurance, we append the analysis of Prof. White, of
of the Georgia Agricultural College. Tho Reports give tho analyses of twenty-two
different articles, the Ammoniated being the highest and having tho greatest com
mercial valuo.
\Yo warrant every bag or barrel to contain
by analysis, the standard of fertilizing prop
erties, and to secure this result one of our
firm superintends in person overy detail of its
manufacture.
By comparison of analysis of the Ammoni-
atod, with those of other fertilizers, it will be
seen that 100 pounds is equal to from 150 to
400 pounds of most oi the articles offered the
planter, and we challenge manufacturers to show tho results so invarably sucsessful
as can be shown from its nso.
The Ammoniated is in fine, dry condition, and can bo applied in any quantity per

DuBoso, to chancre the Board of Trustees of
the University of Georgia. It vacates tho of
fices of the present Trustees, and provides for
a smaller number. It would have been more
proper for this to havo been introduced by our
own Senator, but I understand ho knew noth
ing whatever of tho hill until it was read in
the Senato. I suppose the reason it was in
troduced bv Mr. DuBose that he is a late grad
uate of the University.
In the House, tho week bas been chiefly de
voted to the discussion of different measures,
tho repeal of the Act of 1872. in relation to
Manufactures, Ac., the widow’s exemption.
Ac., being tho most important subjects de
bated. A good deai of ability and argnmont
has been displayed in the discussions of the
week, and if I had time and yon the space, T
would givo a full account of the debates. You
have no doubt, however, read accounts of them
already.
Tho old cry of retrenchment and economy is
being raised by some of the members, no doubt
under the vain hope of more closely fastening
themselves upon the good will and fatare sup
port of their constituents; bnt it is a very
noticeable fact that these honorable econo
mists strike a death blow at every thing else,
and shield themselves! “Oh, consistency,
thou art a jewel 1" If these legislators are in
earnest, and think the State is too poor to pay
high salaries, why do tbey not commence at
the top, and strike two dollars a day from their
own pay-rolls, and cut themselves off from
mileage f
Among the local bills introduced from your
section, I notice the following:
Hon. Mr. Hutcheson, of Oglethorpe, a bill
to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors
within one mile of Line Church, in said county.
Hon Mr Crymes, of Franklin, a bill to re
peal an act relating to fences and stock, and
for the protection of crops.
Hon. Mr. Peeples, of Gwinnett, a bill to pro
hibit tho retail of liquors in tbe town of Law-
renceville.
Hon. Mr. Craig, of White, a bill to regulate
foes of jurors, so far as relates to White county,
I think it probable that during the next
week the House will hold two sessions a day,
and that a great deal of work will be accom
plished before I write you again.
Atlanta is a little dull in the way of theat
rical amusements at present, but its people
always seem lively.
It is with pleasure that I recommend tbe
Columbia House, kept on Alabama Street, by
Mrs. M. J. Morrison, late of Columbia, S. C
There are several members and clerks board
ing b><re, and the house is well patronized
aDd superintended in a most excellent man

It is growing late, and I will close.
