J FEDERAL TYRAXM UAVhi DONE
FOR US.
We intended yesterday, in copying the
article headed “What, the South has Lost
by Carpet-bag Rule,” (embracing some
facts and figures furnished by a corres¬
pondent of the New York Tribune), to
accompany it with remarks commending
it to the reader’s attention ; but this we
inadvertently neglected. We hope that
every reader, if he did not give it his
careful attention yesterday, will do so
' '
to . day .
The great material-loss of the Southern
people hv the war and its after events,
came so "directly home to nearly every
man among us, that no one could be igno
rant of it. But the most significant
closure of the facts and figures of the
Tribune —one which has not been so ap
parent to ns—is to be found in the con¬
trast between the condition of the late
slave States which were “reconstructed”
by Congress and the carpet-baggers and
those of them which were left to recon
struct themselves, See what an exhibit
it makes of the condition of Delaware,
Maryland and Missouri, not so recon¬
structed, compared wiu. mat of the other
States that lost their slaves. The con
trast fixes the responsibility for our do
declining and pitiable condition unuiis
takably on the kind of political rule to
which we have been subjected. And the
reason is obvious—the causes are as ap¬
parent as the effects, Rulers having no
fixed residence or no property in the
State—especially rulers aud law-makers
receiving their powers not from the peo¬
ple, but from some outside authority—
could not have at heart the interests of
the people to the mime degree an men
having interests in common with them.
They were usurpers and plunderers, and
they acted the part of usurpers and plun¬
derers. They squandered the public money
and impaired the public credit, instead of
preserving them, They upturned society
sc as to bring the dregs to the top and to
sink intelligence and respectability to the
bottom. They made these States uudu
nimble places of residence for anybody
unendurable places for any but the patient
and patriotic men who hoped to bo able
to overthrow their oppressors and over¬
come the wrongs and evils of the social
aud political situation. of
We daily see mention of “schemes
immigration” by which the $outh is to be
restored to her prosperity and power.
This is looking for an effect before we
make a muse. We must make the South
desirable to emigrauta before we cun
reasonably expect tlieui to settlo among
us. We must remove tbe obstacles that
now stand in tbe way of immigration be¬
fore the stream will set set this way. Ibis
can be done only by overthrowing every
vestige of the State rulo that has made
our condition what it is, and giving the
world assurance that we are in no danger
of again falling under Hitch a rule. The
Southern States now freest of such danger
are those to which all outaidern look with
most confidence, and in which they
would soonest invest their money or pilch
their residences, Maryland, Delaware
and Missouri have had uo such rule.
Georgia, we hope, is steadily overcoming
its effects. But Georgia is as yet isolated
in the work of thorough reform. Evan
she cannot be considered out of danger
of being agaiu overrun by the carpet-bag¬
ger, the negro and the bayonet, aa long
as ltadicaliam rulea at Washington, The
early restoration of the South to proapor
perity and progress—its early recovery of
a condition making it sate or desirable
for immigration aud capital—depends up
on a change of the policy of the Federal
Administration, The Soul horn Staton
must become political equals in the Un¬
ion, and their domestic goverments must
be secure from tbe Federal usurpation or
intermeddling, before they cun compete
with the really free aud equal States lor
the European immigration coutiug to the
country or the investment of any out¬
sider’s property, Our people owe it t<
themselves—their own host interests do
maud it—that they should bend every
energy to the removal of the causes of
their poverty and inequality. Let them
do this, aud the desired effect must follow,
as certainly as effect always follows cause.
Cottox in Kansas and Missouri. —We
were not aware that cotton was planted to
any extent in Western Missouri and Kan¬
sas, until we saw yesterday a dispatch
dated Kansas City (Mo.,) August 11th,
saying: “Apprehensions are felt of the
entire failure of the cotton crop through
out this section for want of rain.” When
we were in Western Missouri aud Eastern
Kansas, in 1857, the little patches of cot¬
ton, planted for home use, produced a
stalk not more than twelve inches high,
and certainly not yielding more than 50
or GO pounds of lint cotton to the acre,
though the ground was exceedingly rich.
But doubtless the obstacle was in tbe
shortness of the warm season; and now
the farmers of Missouri, like those of
North Carolina and Georgia, have found
that they can stimulate the growth by
guano so as to make up for the shortness
of the season and make the culture more
profitable.

The New York Herald's Vienna corres
pondent reports the Austrian Emperor
Frances Joseph as having said, after look
ing at our varied Southern productions in
the great exhibition, “It must be a coun¬
try of wonderful resources that leaves so
little to be desired, except the means of
making these resources useful to man
kind.” YVe hope that the representatives
of Europe generally, congregated at Vi
enna, took as nearly correct a view of our
Southern country as the Emperor did.
There is no doubt about our having the
resources to invite European immigration
and capital. It only devolves upon us to
make our social and political status ac¬
ceptable and stable, aud we will get the
help needed for the fullest development
of those resources. We have, in an¬
other article, given our views as to what
is needed to accomplish this.
It is announced that Prof. Wise and his
companion will have their balloon ready
for an experimental trip across the Atlan¬
tic, and will sail in a few days. Concern¬
ing the prospects of the voyage, the
Scientific American says: “To us the
probabilities of his success appear to be
little better than those of an individual
who, in an open boat, without sail or oars,
should attempt to float across the Atlantic
on the surface of the Gulf stream.”

i August 14, 18711. >
Editors Sun : I have found it impos
sible to get off an earlier report of the lat
ter proceedings of the Convention, owing
to a press of other duties, but hope this
j letter will reach your readers even in ad
vance of any other correspondence from
j this point. Your section is ably and well
I represented here, and I notice many dis
j tinguislied gentlemen and extensive
! planters present from all parts of the
j State. Col. Tom Hardeman, Jr., and
| Mayor W. A. Huff, of Macon; Mayor
.John H. James, of Atlanta; and Hon.
j Henry W. Hilliard, of Augusta, are
among the more prominent lookers-on
'
her ', and seem to take a deep interest in
the proceedings.
The most of the questions announced
I j„ ,„y first letter as having been presented
for discussion, received the attention of
the ( ’onvention,to a greater or less degree,
and much valuable information aud many
proiituble ideas were evolved and clearly
defined I>y the several speakers. The en¬
tire proceedings have been marked by
plain, practical couimoti-seuse views of
I agricultural subjects. Questions of vital
importance have been looked at from the
heights of utilized thought. Buncombe
speeches have not been the order of the
duy Imt (lie general desire has been to
tost all questions by the true standard
of 'lliiily and practicability. (Jan this
thing be made to promote the best interests
of Southern planters? This was the first
question settled, and then the means of
attaining the object were ably discussed.
The Rev. I.T. Tichenor, D.D., President
of the Agricultural aud Mechanical College
of Alabama, located at Auburn, in re¬
sponding to a call from the Convention,
presented some very excellent ideas in re¬
gard to the importance of an agricultural
education for our fanners’ sons and
daughters, upon whom, he declared,
rather than on the enforcement of vagrant
laws, we must depend in the future for
systematic, reliable anil skilled labor, We
need a general diffusion of scientific
knowledge, as applied to the pursuits of
agriculture. Science, ho declared, was as
much the hand-maiden of agriculture as of
the mechanic arts. Labor in the field,
as elsewhere, must be dignified by our
sous, and they cun better do this by
means of an industry guided by a thorough
knowledge of agricultural chemistry and
its multiplied operations.
Col. I). E. Butler, Chairman of Com¬
mittee on the question “How to Prevent
Negro Emigration from the Htate,” pre¬
sented a most important and deeply inter¬
esting report on this subject. He claimed
that negro labor was the best aud the
most profitable for the South, if properly
controlled. Ho did not apprehend as
much danger from negro emigration, as
did some others, for ho felt sure that the
evil would soon regulate itself, Of the
six thousand negroes who have left the
Stale, he estimated that only about twen¬
ty-five hundred were able-bodied men.
Of this number, judging from the latest
reports gathered from all parts of the Stute,
many have returned here, well satisfied
that they cannot bettor their condition
elsewhere. The inducements held out
by agents from other States to allure the
negroes away, have, in most instances,
proved a delusion. Owing to this fact,
and to other causes that are combining to
infiiiMUoe hard-working and sensible col¬
ored men to remain in Georgia, the com¬
mittee did not apprehend any great hegira
of blacks in the immediate future. Of
the four thousand white emigrants, it is
known that many have returned to Geor¬
gia, and that others propose to do so soon.
This fact will no doubt have a tendency to
check white emigration to some considera¬
ble extent.
Col. McKinley, of Milledgeville, also
discussed the subject of emigration, in
liis address ou “Land and Labor,” but in
a fur different style. His remedy for our
present evils, which seems to have had
its origin in his own mind, is to be found
iu tho adoption by the planters of the old
English tenantry system. He argued
eloquently, and with much force, that this
plan afforded the best means of utilizing
the negro labor of this country, which,
as a general thing, is at present in a
sadly demoralized and inefficient condi¬
tion. There must be some plan of this
kind adopted, otherwise we shall fail to
properly consolidate and systematize the
labor of the blacks. They are our real
dependence. All tho talk we hear about
Northern and European emigration to the
South, so far as our present system of
labor is concerned, is worse than a waste
of words, because it deludes a certain
class of planters into expecting relief
from that source. Col. McKinley opposed
even the encouraging of such emigration,
although by such encouragement it might
be secured. I think his views on this
subject radically wrong. We should
gladly welcome men from every nation
aud from all climes, if they come here to
aid ... industrial , a • , pursuits, and , to
us in our
become quiet and respectable citizens.
If they come in such numbers as to
“flood” the South, so much the better for
: both them and us, and the whole country.
! I hardly need tell you that the presence
1 in Athens at this time of Gov. James M.
Smith, of your city and county, was hailed
I with numerous publio expressions. Sick
i ; ness prevented his attendance upon the
exercises of the T University, . . .. . but , he .
; ■” was
| | able , to 8 et here , in time to meet with the
Oouvention on Wednesday. He was im

mittee, with a request that he would ad

juct of agriculture, b ’ which he kindly J con
sented ... , , to do; , aud therefore ., . present- .
was
ed to thf Convention. His speech occu
pied nearly two hours in its delivery, but
was deeplv interesting throughout, 0 and
was frequently heartily applauded by the
delighted audience. The Governor con
lined himself to questions of vital impor
tancetothe success of the agricultural
I interests of the South, and his remarks
were characterized by evident sincerity
and earnestness. He touched upon the
labor question, and advocated the crea
tion and enforcement of vagrant laws, as
a means to compel loafers to go to work.
He opposed the education of negroes.

ak(> advocated a better knowledge of the

secured by an analyses of the various soils,

lish a bureau. Northern farmers under
stand the value of this, but a Southern

The grand feature of the session, how¬
ever, was the reading of a paper on
“Scientific Education, by Prof. W. L.
LeBroun, President of the State Agricul¬
tural College in this place, from which he
hopes to send forth, iri time, scores of
young men trained to a perfect knowledge
of the best uses of science in connection
with farming pursuits. It is seldom that
I have ever listened to such an aide paper,
or seen one accepted by an audience with
it show of greater appreciation. Every¬
body present, was convinced of the fitness
of Prof. LeBroun for the high position to
which he has been called, and from the
reading of his splendid and timely paper,
it is hoped an influence will go abroad
throughout, the State, that shall give a now
impetus to scientific study in the pursuit
of agriculture. It was clearly shown by
Prof. LeBroun that the times demand a
greater attention to this subject, not only
by young men just preparing for useful
ness in life, but on the part of older men
engaged in planting. We must call ui the
art of science to help us recuperate ami
make fruitful again our own bel 3d
South. Nor should we look disdainfully
upon labor saving machinery. Science
and Art, hand in hand, stand ready to
help those who are ready to help them¬
selves. Let us, then, call them into our
councils and accept every assistance
which they may offer us m our agricul¬
tural pursuits.
But I fear that 1 am making this letter
too long, and will therefore sum up. i ii
single paragraph, the rest of my items.
Everybody will rejoice to know that Go
Alfred II. Colquitt, the able President ol
the State Association, was unanimously
re-elected by acclamation, with Malcom
Johnson for Secretary, and that your own
beautiful city lias been selected for tire
next annual mooting, which will be held
during the month of February, 1874. Of
the action of ihe Patrons of Husbandry
during the past few days, I can give you
no report, as the < 1 ranges meet with closed
doors. I learn, however, that nearly one
hundred local Granges were represented
in the present session of the State Grange
of Georgia. Owing to the fact that ladies
are members of (his organization, a new
feature was this year introduced into the
Grand ‘Banquet. Instead of being, as
heretofore, a drunken frolic, I am glad
to report that the ladies of Athens had a
hand aud a voice (of course they have a
voice wherever they have a hand) in the
entertainment of this year, and under
their supervision, and with their charm¬
ing smiles and bright eyes to gladden the
scene, the Banquet, for once at least,
proved to be “a feast of reason and a
flow of soul,” with considerable heart
mixed in, on the part of the young people
present. I hail with joy this new feature
in the social element of the Convention’s
Annual Banquet, for I believe it to be a
step in the right direction. Noble and
true women, in all departments of
life, are our best aud surest advisers.

THE BUSINESS ASPECTS OF THE
FA It ME R S ’ M O YEMEN TS.
From tho Atlanta Constitution, 15th.
Mr. William hauuders, Superintendent
of Gardens and Grounds at the Depart¬
ment of Agriculture, is regarded as the or¬
ganizing spirit of the powerful Order.
He ifs, iu fact, the Chairman of its Na¬
tional Executive Committee, and was the
first Muster of the National Grange, lie
is a hard-headed Scotchman, about fifty
yearn old, and full six feet high. At tho
solicitation of a reporter he freely stated
his understandiug of the objects and pros¬
pects; of the movement. Before endeav¬
oring to briefly state his views, let us
meut ton the fact that Mr. S. was for ten
years the editor of a leading agricultural
paper.
He first referred to the advantages of
buying directly from manufacturers lor
cash, and then said that the Grangers do
not believe in co-operative stoics, and < ! -
courage their formation. Cash is King,
and it is emblazoned on all their banners.
Tho grange system encourages above ail
else direct relations; and to illustrate, Mi
S. hauded the reporter a confidential c;r
cnlar, that has been sent to every subor
dinate grange in tho country. It contains
the names of over fifty leading merchants
and manufacturers who have furbished a
price list for cash by which they agree to
stand. It is only one of many such. F<‘
instance, take safes. The ordinary retail
prict > of a safe weig hmg 3,000 pounds

Louis for $105. Take sewing niaehi'v>s
Three weeks ago they putch,.4ou v-.i
general order 1,500 sewing machines at a
cost on each machine of $30 less than
they are furnished to agents. Aud so it
was with harvesters and a hundred other
articles. Mr. Saunders does not believe in
Ihe word fight, even as to the railroads.
Negotiate is his motto.
In speaking K of the uerpetuitv J of the
Order, , he referred c to its existence in the
South. Mr. D. W. Aiken, of South Caro
line, has shown what one man can do who
ism earnest. In his State there are 131
,, Mississippi . . has -00, and Georgia
; granges ”7. There _ ; is not __ colored member in
a a
Southern e thev represent the
owners ,.f ot tne f farms ari „, ana plantations. x
j reduction in freights from the West is a
material point in the working of Southern
granges. Bacon, lard, flour, hams, etc.,
| be kept as cheap as possible. If.
! says Air. b., he can buy articles he needs
! at a great reduction by dealing with the
manutacturer direct, may there nut be
room for improvement, among the con
provided always they buy for
cash ; Cash is the t&ilisinan of the
granges.
The South is as much in love with the
grange system as the Northwest. New
EngUmd lias but 25 granges, and of these
twenry-four are in Vermont. Politics an.,
politi cal issues are just as foreign to the
purpi use of the order as theology or as
trono my. Every grange stands on its own
merit s; the granges of an entire State do
the sfone; and if Iowa, with its powerful
organizations, should drop out to-morrow,
»«wld not have the slightest influence
on the welfare of the order in other

platforms or parties, and the views
Q f the granges are bound to be as diverse
as they are numerous, The political Puli
puzzle only worries the outsiders,
tics, in the words of Mr. S., is the hand¬
maid of the devil. When it becomes
necessary to invoke the aid of party, the
objects for which the order was started
will cease. All it needs do is to regard
the rights of the farmers which are in
their own hands, and to see that they are
not infringed by those whose hands take
not hold of the plow. ended.

Ii RAFTS PAYABLE WITH C UH

The subjoined correspondence, which
is taken from the August number of the
Hankers’ Magazine furnishes useful and
conclusive information and authority con¬
cerning the payment of drafts, Atten
tion to this matter will save dealers with
banks, as well as the hank officers them¬
selves, a great deal of unnecessary trouble
and delay:
Louisville, July, 1873.
To the Editor oj the Bankers' Maga¬
zine—"The bank with which I deal here
gives me New York exchange free of
charge. I wish to use such exchange to
pay my acceptances and notes here, and
drawn “with New York exchange,” “in
New York exchange,” or it with current
rate of exchange in New York.” Gan the
holders refuse to check on New York, and
demand legal tenders and exchange?
REPLY.
You have no right to require of a bank
holding for collecting your paper, payable
“with current rate of exchange,” cheek to re¬
ceive in payment therefor the of
another bank in New York. Payment is
due in current funds and the premium
added. If your acceptances are payable
“in New York exchange,” then the bank
holding would probably take in payment
the draft of a bank in unquestionable
credit. But we think that no just dealing
man would insist even upon this; for it is
a gross injustice to compel the bank,
w hich has all the trouble of collecting and
remitting, to do it for nothing. The
small profit of exchange is all its compen¬
sation, and it iH little enough.
