Bitch, «*<udHng me, can readily see the intention ofthe pretended author and his co- oonspirators, without a word from me. 1 simply desire to say that I have no time, and less inclination to bacffly epithets with this persecutor of the people, who makes his living by dragging honest men, and of ten innocent parties, before United States ' Commissioners and Federal Courts on charges sworn to in many cases by perjur ed villains, and rotten informers as Bitch, who, like their masters, have no other oc cupation. If a gentleman were to waste his time in striking at all the little curs, which are continually barking at his heels, he would soon find his whole time taken up in such unprofitable occupation. I «m willing for the people to pass judg ment on the war that is being made on me, and whether or not I have adopted the proper means of defence. Those who know Ritch, at once see that he did not write this dirty attack, but is simply put forward as the vile tool and mouthpiece of some other person, or persons who keeps in the back ground. Emory Speer. “ Low Countryman” Is not only wholly'unconnected in any manner with this paper, but he is also a highly respectable citizen of this commu nity. His name can be easily ascertained by any person who will make the usual application therefor. The intimation in the Southern Banner, of last week, that he was connected with this journal is, therefore, incorrect. No thing has appeared or will appear in this paper in the form of a communication, un less a bona fide communication. The Watchman is too proud of its contribu- % tors to seek to supplement their contri butions.

It is also said that both Governments are making active warlike preparations. The great idpa oi the patriot and states man of the present day should be a return to the first principles of this popular Gov ernment. It cannot too frequently, there fore, be presented to the thinking public that all power should reside in the people. This is the Government of the people. It has been said by those political writers and thinkers who are sonie of them the sub jects of Monarchies, that this Republic would fail, because the people are not ca pable of self-government. The great and patriotic minds who achieved our liberties ind who framed our Constitution thought itherwiso, and though great encroachments have been made on the power of the peo ple, wo have unshaken faith in the wis dom and patriotism of our forefathers. The truth is, that the evils which have been wrought in American politics, have been accomplished principally by schemes ind methods which either deprived the people of their power, or else clogged and impaired its expreise. 01 these schemes we do not hesitate to say that the Party Convention has "been the most frequent and the most fruitful source of evil. What precipitated this-country into a four years " war,.which swept over this fair land with flry and sword, Sweeping away millions of property, and nnlliqpa of human lives! was the batoe^flngttfjHed and v intemperate lutions, iu which tyffey professed to repre sent the entire people, when, in truth, they were perhaps the favored production of some hot-headed zealot, and adopted by a low loungers about the towns, who caret! nothing for their effect upon the public mind. There is no computing the unountof animosity created. With the terrible result, history is pregnant. The great objection we have to these Conventions is two lold. They are not sanctioned by law, the people have no le gal guarantee of their fairness or honesty tl ey were not contemplated by the framers of our Constitution as a means of exercis ing political power, and yet they virtually elect. Thisris clear, for if they have such control over the people, that their nomiua tion must be confirmed, their nomination amounts to an election. The voting at the ballot-box is only legalizing the mandate of the delegates, which mandate was made without any legal guarantee. Thus we have the great result of an election ac complished and there is no legal guarantee or test to show that it was fairly or hon estly done. No wonder then that the Gov ernment is losing its character as a popu lar Government, when the people surren der their political power iu this way to a few men Our other objection to these Conventions is the ease and certainty with which an artful politician can accomplish his designs upon the people through their meaus. The fraud of their pretence that they represent the people; the facilities they afford for a trade in the offices*; “ You vote your del egates for me this time and I will vote my delegates for you next time,” chaffering and battering with the people’s rights. It-is diffi cult to find expressions strong enough to > express the iqjur^Hkj^ponduch to good The Maryland Farmer. The March number of this valuable mag azine is on our table. It is one of the old est and most reliable publications, of its kind, South of Masou & Dixon’s line, and contains, each month, useful information that is worth four times its subscription price for the whole year. The Maryland Farmer is a large, well printed magazine, and is edited with mark ed ability by Mr. Ezra Whitman, who is ably assisted by Col. W. W. W. Bowie, both of whom are practical farmers, and are thoroughly acquainted with the farming interests of the South. -It has a long list of able correspondents in the Middle and Southern States, who are practically en gaged iu every branch of agriculture, so that all classes, Farmers, Planters, Horti culturists, Florists, and all others engaged in rural pursuits, may rest assured of find ing valuable and reliable information in each number, iu reference to their several pursuits; while the ladies’ department is always filled with instructive and enter taining reading. Wo would advise all who wish a first class Southern Agricultural Magazine, to give the Maryland Farmer a trial. It is published iu the city of Baltimore, Md., at the low price of S1.50 per annum, or to clubs of five at 81 each, by E.

One of the oldest aud most successful business moil of our country, and who has amassed a largo fortune, as ho says, from the constant us > of printer’s ink, gives the following version of the utility of ad vertising, as his experience, after having given it a large and faithful trial. We commend his views to thoso of our busi ness men who think they can do a success ful business without letting tho public know what they are doiug, through the columns ot tho newspapers: “ The first utility of frequent and regu lar advertising consists in this: There is at all times a largo class of persons, both in country and town, who have no fixed place for tho purchase of certain necessa ry art cles, and are ready to be swaj eil and drawn toward any particular place which is earnestly brought under their notice. Indillereut to all, they yield without hesi tating to the first who asks. Then, in the country, a considerable number of persons who wish a considerable supply ot the ar ticle advertised, and do not know of any particular place where it is to bo got, bo th us furnished with the address of a person who can supply them, naturally open a communication with the address which leads to much ulterior business. People in the country are also liable to be favorably impressed by a- frequent sight of a name iu tho newspapers. The adver tising party acquires distinction in their eyes, and thus they are led, in making a choice, to prefer him. But by far the most important effect ot advertising is ono of indirect uature. It conveys the idea that the advertiser is anxions for bus iness, aud such a person is always sup posed to bo industrious, attentive and civ il ; ono who keeps the best articles; at tho cheapest rates, does everything in tho neatest, most tradesmau-like manner, and in general, use* every expedient to grati fy and attract customers. People like to purchase uuder these circumstances.” and paid by the Government.

Superintendent Orr is chairman of this coimnitteo, and among thoso who are associated with him are Messrs. Calvin of Augusta, Buffher ofVir giuia, aud Price of Dahlonega. Whatever a committee of intelligent Southern educa tionists could do relative to tho subject in Washington, this committee has doubtless done; but if our people desire the passage of the pending bill, it might be well to im press tho fact on the minds ol these South ern members who are not inclined to sup port the measure. It is difficult to determine what Georgia’s yearly share of this fund would be with out a long study of the tables of population and illiteracy; for the bill which the House committee on education aud labor have accepted provides that for the first ten years the distribution to the States and Territories shall bo made on the basis of the number of persons of ten years and over who cannot read and write. In the year 1S74 the sales of public land; yielded S1,852,42S, ill 1S75, SI,413,640 in 1876 SI,120,466, and in 1877, S976,253—the to tal for the four years beiug S5,371,787. At tlee last census the limits of school age were five and eighteen years, and the num tyer of children was 12,000,000. The pro ceeds of the sales of public land during tbe last four years have averaged about $1,342,- 000 a year, and this, divided among the states and territories, would give eleven cents for every child of school age.

The amount would certainly not fall below $50,000, and even that sum would prove a wonderful help to our struggling public school system. If the public lands are not devoted to educational purposes, they will be sure to fall tato tho hands of land grabbers, who will, as soon as the prevail ing paroxysm of virtue has passed off, re organize for new campaigns of plunder. We hope the House bill will become a law; and if our people think so too, they should let their views be known at Washington. EP"Tho pension hill reported Wednesday from the Committee on appropriations ap propriates $29,2SG,574. The bill con tains a new feature, providing that from anil after tho first of July next pensions shall bo paid by tho Treasurer, under di rections of the Secretary of the Treasury, and until this act shall bo carried into ef fect the special paying agents shall not be allowed more than ten cents per voucher, and shall, in addition to their proportion of salaries, ho paid only for such contin gencies as may bo approved by the Sec retary of tho Interior and the Secretary of the Treasury.

GWINNETT COURT. Wo spent a day or two at Lawrencoville during the first week of Gwinnett Court and intended to give an account of its pro ceedings in our last isssue, but reached home too late to do so. A report of the cases disposed ot has no doubt reached our readers, so it would be needless for us to give it at this time. Tbe most important cases on the dockets were continued, so that tho Court did not hold out its full allowance in Gwinnett. The Howell case, which has been in the Courts for several years and which was tried last year, taken up to the Supreme Court, and a now trial granted, will probably come to trial at an adjourned term this Fall.

Captain Eads recently stated to the New Orleans Chamber ot Commerce that the time Is near when grain can be carried from St. Louis to New Orleans for three cents per bushel. At the same time we are on tho eve of the completion of the Welland Canal improvement; while a line of railroad along the Erie canal, with con nections through Jersey City, is projected under conditions that promise to reduce the cost of canal transportation about two-thirds. Beyond this the Legisla ture and Congress are devising means for compelling the roads to render better and cheaper service to the public. Clear ly the railroads must prepare themselves for carrying on bettor terms than they have yet afforded.” 'Washing-ton. Letter. From onr regular Correspondent. Washington, D. C., March 21,1878. It is hardly worth while to quarrel, as some Democratic papers are doing, with the Court which has released Anderson at New Orleans. He ought to have been pun ished, and nothing but a technicality seems to have saved him. He intended to commit a forgery, and to effect by it a change in the vote ot Louisiana. The Court decides that the forged paper could not, underthe laws of Louisiana, have the effect Ander son intended. The State has five days in which to demand a re-hearing, but prob ably this is the end of the case. Anderson will keep his place in the Custom House, and not have to submit to the inconveni ence of being let out 75T jail every day, as heretofore, in going to his official duties.
