THE UNION l RECORDER.

BKXLUmOSVXXi&S, OA i
Wednesday, December 17, 1873.
Very Significant.
There are but three or four papers in
Georgia, so far as we have seen, that op
pose a constitutional convention, and all
of these were considered fishy on tho
Henry Clews bond question. One of tho
objects of a convention is to insert
clause in the new constitution prohibit
ing any future legislature from ever pay
ing these bogus bonds. Is not the hand
of Joab to be seen in this violent oppo
sition to a convention? All at once these
Editors have fallen desperately in love
with the scalawag constitution of 18G8,
and are boasting liow rich and flourish
ing the country has grown under the
carpet-bag constitution. Perhaps the
Atlanta King may have flourished under
the Bullock and Kimball dynasty; but wo
don't hear that the people in any other
parts of the State arc flourishing; nor
are they shouting hallalujahs to the scal
awag constitution.
The Ezpensc of a Convention.
The Atlanta “Constitution" in its fran
tic appeals against a Constitutional Con
vention, and in favor of the negro scala
wag-carpetbag Constitution of 18G8, tries
to make the people believe that a conven
tion will cost two or three hundred thou
sand dollars. This shows deplorable ig
norance, or something worse. There is
no necessity for a convention to cost more
than twenty thousand dollars. Tho con
vention of 18G5, held in Milledgeville,
lasted 15 days and cost somewhere between
twenty and thirty thousand dollars. One
of the clerks of that convention assured
us that we might safely say the cost was
less than thirty thousand dollars. We
believe it was less than twenty five thou
sand dollars. This is not a sum to fright
en the people of Georgia, when the sav
ings which a convention would make for
the State in the reduction of the pay of
members and clerk hire in one session of
the Legislature would much more than
cover that amount. And if the Conven
tion should restore the Capital to Mil
ledgeville, where a large majority of the
people want it, the difference in legislat
ing between Atlanta and Milledgeville
would in a few years save ten times that
amount. But this humbug about the
great cost of a convention is put forward
by the Atlanta papers on purpose to de
ceive the people, and give the Atlanta
l ing a further chance to plunder the State.
They were not so fearful of expense when
they induced the Legislature to buy that
old sham of an Opera house for a State
house and pay five times as much as it
was worth. Why did not these guardi
ans of the treasury warn the Legislature
that there was a heavy mortgage hanging
over the property ? When they knew the
Kimball House was being built out of the
earnings of the State Road, what did
these faithful sentinels say 1 Not a word.
They are dum as oysters. Itis only when
the people call for a convention
the scalawag tflat m ? De "

Zt Can’t be Bis Speech.
Some rascal lias sent over the wires a
mass of special pleading in favor of tho
salary grab, and called it Mr. Stephens'
speech. It sounds much more like one
of Bon Butler's speeches, and its senti
ments would suit the Lowell district of
"Massachusetts much better tban any dis
trict of Georgia. Indeed it out Butler's,
Ben Butler, but it convinces no one.—
When the members of Congress were
elected they agreed to serve their constit
uents for a certain sum. and when, be
cause they had the power, they grabbed
£5000 more, they took other people's
property without their consent, which, in
ail countries, is called robbeiy, and no
amount of sophistry or special pleading
can justify robbery or make it honorable
because it was done by Congress. Those
Democrats who voted for back pay com
mitted an unpardonable sin in politics.—
Had all of the Democrats stood firm and
resisted Butler’s bribe, it would have been
tho death blow to tho administration.—
Tho rebuke to tho profligacy and dishon
esty of the administration last fall would
have been much more emphatic than it
was had not the Radicals had the fact of
Democrats voting for back pay ready to
cast into the teeth of the Democrats. If
Grant is elected for a third term and Re
publican liberty in the United States
overthrown, the Rin and shame of this ca
tastrophe will lie at the door of those
Democrats who voted for back par. We
will not yet believe that Mr. Stephens has
given his sanction to this great political
blunder.

Gbx. P. M. B. Young.—Under this head
the Augusta Constitutionalist says:
“We publisK on our first page, this
morning, some very striking extracts
from the Washington correspondence of
the Courier-Journal. Some curious rev
elations are made of District matters and
tho dreadful doings of the “Ring.” Tho
Courier-Journal correspondent, whom,
from his initials, we judge to be* L. Q.
Washington, declares that the success of
this ring is made the more certain by
“such active and sturdy friends as Eld-
ridge, of Wisconsin, Pierce M B. Young,
of Georgia, Swann, of Maryland, and
others. This accusation is a serious one
against the Democratic members of Con
gress named. We cannot believe tliat
Gen. Young is properly placed in the
above category. He will, of course, in
dignantly deny this charge and nail it as
a slander."
Bon* 3®. J. Crawford and tho
Convention.
Below we publish a letter from Hon.
Martin J. Crawford, of Columbus,
the subject of a Constitutional Conven
tion, which will be read with interest by
the people of the State. Georgia has no
son more loved or more respected than
the author of this letter, and his opinions
will carry with them great weight. Mr
Crawford is strongly in favor of a Con
vention. Here is what he says:
Columbus Ga., Dec. 8, 1873.
To the Editors of the Chronicle and Sen
tinel:
Gentlemen—Yours of the 29th ult, was
duly received and would have been an
swered immediately but for the pressing
duties which the session of our Superior
Court then and now required of me.
I write this letter simply to acknowl
edge the receipt of your favor; and to
say that I am decidedly of the opinion
that the Legislature should call a Con
vention in which the real people of Geor
gia should have the opportunity to declare
tho great organic laws for the State, and
to return as far as may be practicable to
the old land marks in the great past.
Every people should make their own Con
stitution, and under it enact their own
laws. Ours was made principally by
aliens, strangers and fools. Therefore,
jnst so soon as onr impoverished people
can stand the burden of a Convention, it
should be called, tliat the wickedness and
folly unjustly fastened upon us may be
changed into wise and judicious laws

The Savannah News says; “The oppo
sition to a Convention is Very weak, and
it is to be found mostly in Atlanta. Some
of those who oppose the movement pre
tend to fear tliat such a convention would
depose the present State Government,
legalize imprisonment lor debt and cut
various other curious capers. This is
pure bosh. It is ooming to a pretty pass
when the people of Georgia arc not to be
trusted in framing their own organic laws
—a pretty pass indeed!

Very Cheering.
The Hartford Times says that the ru
mor that Congress Bamimi has offered
the Democratic managers in Connecticut
$20,000 to secure a Democratic Legisla
ture, if they will make him Senator, is a
mistake. Such a money offer has not,
and will not be made, as the Democrats
are all right and need not such peculiar
ly Radical aid as that.
This Is indued encouraging news. And
now if our Democratic members of Con
grees will imitate the example, and scout
tho back pay grab, ‘malgre’ the sluill cx
hortations of tho feeble' “straight” of the
8th district, once an Ajax, now an old
man in his dotage,' the integrity of tho
paily may be preserved- If the “law al
lowed" that retro active measure which
gave $3,006 more to every member for
work which he had bargained to do, for
a given stipend under the then exsting
statute, would it not have' been perfectly
legitimate and logical under the interpre
tation of Mr. Stephens, if Congress had
chosen to vote that one million should
be paid each member for back services?
Concede the privilege., and where can any
limitation be assigned ?
Back pay rations in the face of an ac
cepted salary established by law. looks
very much like stealing. And so the
people have decided, by re-electing only
a corporal’s guard of those who had the
temerity thus to appropriate a large sum
from the treasury, in addition to their
legal compensation.
These remarks, of course, do not apply
to new members, who receive the salary
as fixed by their predecessors. But it
will bo for them to determine whether
this increase should not be repealed, in
view of the heavy burden of taxation,
and the distressed condition of the conn

OLD MEMORIES.
You can never forget them. The universe
is full of them; they are wafted to you
by every wind. You hear them in the
falling rains and rustling tree tops. They
are sung by the song birds of the wildwood
and are sounded by the surges of the sob
bing sea. They look down upon you
from the star-beams of a summer evening,
and they shimmer through the locusts in
the cold moonbeams of a winter night.
Soft, sad, sweet, musical, melancholy,
touching and tender, they come to you
like echoes from the sounding shores of
tho river of time. They subdue the rest
less soul, and they kindle the bettor feel
ings of one’s nature into a kinder affection
towards all of God’s creatures.
Every human hear t is the grave of by
gone days, and forth from it into the
present, old memories come like phan
toms in imperfect and fanciful resurrec
tion, and the thoughts that they bring
with them are the most sacred and holy
of our lives. Thus do we worship our
earthly idols long after they have been
shattered and destroyed.
In life there are twogreat subdivisions,
prospective and retrospective; one is the
creation of youth, the other the offspring
of mature years; one of them is the pos
sibilities of the future, tire other the real
ties of the past; both are beautiful, both
are impossible with the present where wc
stand in the middle of life, reaching both
forward and backward, and striving to
grasp these fair and fanciful forms in
vain.
The last is dearest of all, because it is
of things that have been real. Their forms
are imagined in the soirl when all cur
early expectations are forgotton.

A State Convention.
The question of fal propriety of call
ing a State Convoimon for the purpose of
framing a new State Constitution, to take
the place of the instruaQapt dignified with
that name, and kneed opon the people by
Federal intervention, M> bem agitated
by the press of the SinleJbr several months
and enough of pnnfe sentiment on the
subject has been elicited to show that the
proposition meets the approbation of a
large majority of the wisest and best men
of the State.
tore, the editors of the Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel have addressed a circular to
leading citizens of all sections of the State,
soliciting an expression of their views on
tho subject In response to this circular
the able and, we think, irrefutable letter
of Hon. John C. Reed, of Oglethorpe,
which will be found on our flint page,
was written. We commend tho letter to
the thoughtful perusal of our readers, con
fident that they will agree with us that
the arguments of the writer in favor of a
Convention are clear, forcible and con
vincing.
In an editorial on the subject of a State
Convention, the Chronicle says: “It was
generally supposed that the people of
northern Georgia would oppose the hold
ing of a convention, bnt this is evidently
a mistake. The first county to take action
in the matter was Polk, and a public meet
ing of her citizens pronounced strongly
for a convention.’ A paper published in
Habersham county favors a remodeling
of the Constitution, and the Gainesville
Eagle declares in favor of a convention,
if the session of such a body does not
entail a direct tax upon the State for the
payment of its expenses. Our contempo
rary need have no fears upon this score.
The convention will not require a direct
tax upon the State for its support, and it
will save money enough to pay its ex
penses a thousand times over. On the
first Tuesday in the month there is always
a large gathering of the citizens of the
county at the Court House. On that day
let meetings lie held throughout the State,
and instructions bo given to members of
tho Legislature to vote for or against a
convention, as the people may decide.
There is one thing certain—tho question
mnst be met fairly and squarely. It may
be defeated, but it shall neither be dodged
nor evaded.”

A Constitutional Convention
The admirable letter of Judge Au
gustus K. Wright, which we published
yesterday morning on tho subject of a
Constitutional Convention, presents one
phase of the question which is worthy
careful consideration. Judge Wright
takes the ground that a Convention is
necessary, in order that the State may
be spared any addition to her present
load of indebtedness—except for the le
gitimate and necessary expenses of gov
eminent. Thero are many who will a-
gree with the views presentedby thisgen-
tleman, and will favor a constitutional in
hibition against the State’s rendering aid
to any work of public improvement, con
fident that this is the only way to pre
vent a repetition of the corruption which
threatened Georgia with bankruptcy when
Bullock was Governor. But there are
others who go a step further, and wish
the adoption of a Constitution which will
protect the counties and cities from the
same evils which threaten the State.
These advocate a clause which will pre
vent a county or a city from issuing bonds
to on amount beyond a certain percentage
of its taxable property. For instance,
they would restrict the city of Augusta
from issuing bonds to an amount exceed
ing—say ten per cent of the assessed
value of its taxable property. The tax
able property now amounting to twenty
millions of dollars, only two millions of
bonds could be lawfully issued. Such
provision would greatly benefit the tax
p-iyora a.Tb/1 afron^f luwv v/ UiU
city. The larger the amount of bonds
issued the greater the depreciation in
value. But if the world knew that the
bonded debt of a city or county could
not be increased beyond ten per cent of
its assets—for all the property of a cor
poration constitutes assets for the pay
ment of its debts—the bonds issued would
always realize a good price, and be eagerly
sought for by capitalists.

it treats of the various ailments fo which the tinman
system is subject, and sets forth the peculiar proper
ties of Hoatetter’e Stomach Bi ters—the purest and
best tonic at present knowp—as a preservative of
health and strength, and as a remedy for debility and

to six or seven acres is more than is us
ually put upon land, but I have found it,
in the end, much the cheapest to put in
enough seed to be. sure to get a good
stand the ft rut year.
“Of an ordinary season, the clover will,
the year it is sowed, grow up a consider-
able height before frost, if the land is
good; and with it will be a good coat of
crab grass, and a considerable crop of
weeds. Jnst before frost, I put my two-
horse mower in and cut all this down, and
dry it and stack it, and it makes a fine
crop of hay. The stock will eat all the
young clover and the crab grass, and even
the top* of the rag-weeds, when they are
cut green and dried with tho hay.' But
not tlie, least benefit from this course is
the fine order in which your land is left
for mowing iu the spring. * * *
“In reference to the quality of land best
adapted to its growth, I state that, in my
opinion, it does best upon stiff, black,
rich river bottom, n«eds no manure to
make a good crop. If yyu put it on up
lands, and expect a good crop, yon must
manure yoiu\ land well I before, you sow;
and when it is tue-e set with clover, if von
cultivate it properly yoi) jqav keep it
perpetually rich. If you have poor lands,
and wish to enrich them with clever, you
must turn over tv veral successive crops
in the green state, giving them to the
land; and, if you lave the patience, in
this way you can soon improve it until
it will produce 'a good crop for use, and
may then keep your land rich for the
future. Bnt yon need not expect a heavy
crop of clover on poor land, anymore ’
you may expect- a heavy crop of any other
sort.
“My judgment, however,'is, that clover
is the best of all fertilizers. It enriches
the land, and continues to keep it rich,
if you continue to., alternate the clover
with other crops, or to run it a consider
able portion of time in clover.
“As already stated, you do not pasture
it the first year, and your first crop is
saved, the next spring after it is sowed.
That year you may mow it twice, and the
next year twice. The tliird year you
should cut the first crop and save it for
hay. and you should turn the second crop
under with a tw'o-horse turning plough,
giving it to the 6oil, and either sow it in
wheat that fall, which is probably best, or
