jipttthemjffatthman. Athens, Ga. WEDNESDAY MOCTXB, FEB. 8,1875. Largest Circulation! READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. 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. A. L. MiTCnELL, Ch'm. M. Stanley, -1 . I C 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. “ Onlythis, aud nothing more.” F. W Lucas Tnos. J. Lester. I v J. A. Huxjjicutt, i c C. W. Reynolds. J ° Atiiexs. ga„ Jan’y 2Gtb, 1875. Tho above Address was this day unanimous ly adopted at a Democratic Meeting held in Athens, and all papers having a circulation in tho District were respectfully requested to copy. JosErn B. Carlton, Chairman. C. G. Talmadge, Sec'y. Unfui-. 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. AHEAD OF AI>Ii OTHERS! JOHriST MEBRYMAN & CO.’S I Ammoniated Dissolved BODES! The Great Colton Groioer! Composed of PURE BONE, dissolved in Sulphuric Acid, and the best Ammoniacal material. 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 acre, however small. Packed in bags of tho uniform weight, of 167 lbs., or barrels of about 250 lbs, each.

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 ner. It is growing late, and I will close. In baste, R. PROSPECTUS.
