Have We an Executive Committee
in the 6th District ?
We hope some one will answer this
question. We have examined the record
of the last Congressional Convention for
this District, when Mr. Blount was nomi
nated, and we find that a^ resolution was
passed in that Convention giving the
Chairman, the Hon. B. F. Ward of Butts,
the power to appoint an Executive Com
mittee, but the Convention adjourned
sine efie without any record of such a
committee being appointed. If such a
committee was appointed, who are they?
Who is the Chairman? We would like
to have information on that subject.
Nutting and Blount.
A few cadet lawyers who have dull axes
to grind, who in fact want to step into
Mr. Blount s legal practice, are desirous
of sending him hack to Washington to
get him out of their way, but the great
mass of the people who want the Dis
trict well represented—the farmers, mer
chants and mechanics who want a busi
ness man in Congress—want Mr. Nutting.
There never was a time since the forma
tion of our government that the talents
of a good financier was so much needed
and would be so well appreciated as at
present. Congress is now in confusion
on the subject of finance. Most of the
members seem to be out of their element
on the subject, and it is not surprising
as a large portion of them are lawyers
and ail of the training they have ever had
on finance is to collect their fees. They
have no broad or comprehensive views on
finance. Then’ great ambition has been
to make a speech and to make the wrong
appear the right. Of such speeches
Congress has had a great profusion, un
til no one listens to them, hut when a
business man rises every one pays atten
tion for they know that he understands
what he is talking about. One is a man
of good practical sense, the other a man
of words. The people of this District
will know which will be most useful to
them. The lawyers of course will want
to get rid of Blount because they want
his practice, but everybody else will want
Mr. Nutting because he con be of use to
the District and the State.

Lawson is just the man we need in Con

share in our correspondent s admiration
for the character of Col. Lawson, we can
not forbear saying that there is man in
the District, an energetic, working man,
who has peculiar fitness for this very
work, and who. can, in our opinion, do
more towards having the cotton tax re
funded, and helping the South financially,
than any other man in the District.
That man’s name we suggested many
weeks ago. We refer to Hon. Chas.

Messrs. Editor# Star:
As we
have, seen nothing from our
county in regard to who should be our
next Representative in Congress, and
but little from the District, we would
suggest the name of the well known
Hon. C. A Nutting, of Macon, as a suita
ble man. We are confident he is the
choice of Twiggs, as her citizens have
expressed themselves freely as 1 icing
decidedly favorable to his election.
We feel assured that in Mi. Nutting
we will have a faithful and intelligent
Representative, and one too who under*
stands well the wants of the people of
his District, and indeed the whole South,
and will not shrink from his duty when
called upon to perform it. In this we
mean no reflection upon the present
Representative, the Hon. JamesH, Blount,
for he has represented his District faith
fully, ably and satisfactorily, but we do
think it is now Mr. Nuttings time. He
served us so ably and unflinchingly in
our State Legislature we are anxious to
give him a trial in a higher capacity'.

The
The Prc-sidont’s Financial Pronun-
ciamento.
The late attempt of President Grant to
forestall and shape the action of Con
gress on financial affairs is a new feature
in American legislation. The President
iia the right by communications to Con
gress to give his advice to that body as
often as he thinks proper. But General
Gi mt lias taken a new method to put
fjj ih his decrees. He sends a letter to
Senator -Tones setting forth his views on
—nance and intimating that any important
deviation by Congress from his views
will be sure to bring down the dreaded
veto Under such circumstances Con~
gross liecomes a useless body and legis
lation merely an edict of the President.
Those who are best acquainted with the
President's composition declare that the
Jones letter is none of his composition.
That it was written by some of tlie Pres
ident s interested advisers and that the
President can't repeat the principal po
sitions in the letter twice alike, and that
in fact he don't understand the letter
himself. But the substance of the letter
is not so objectionable as the manner in
which it was intruded upon the public.
It was received by Congress in the char
acter of an admonition or a threat, and
was as mucli as to say “do you know to
whom you belong!''’ This threat of the
President has effectually put a stop to
all legislation in Congress on the finan
cial question and the President will pro
bably remain master of the situation.

The Atlanta Herald clamors for an im

Georgia legislators are made. This
not the only reform that is necessary.
Our General Assembly is too unwieldy to
transact business either promptly or ef
fectively. It needs trimming. Let the

insignificant capital question, and join us
in calling for a Constitutional Conven

of such a movement, we most cheerfully
refer it to the files of the Morning News.

C. A. Nutting for Congress.
Me. Boughton : I desire to say that I
approve of your course in urging the
nomination of Hon. C. A. Nutting for
Congress. Col. Blount has probably
done as well as he conld; I believe he
has been attentive to his duties, and is
personally a clever young man, but there
are abler and more suitable men with
stronger claims on the District, who
ought to have an opportunity to make
their mark. The recent valuable services
to the State of diaries A. Nutting,
think, point to him as the man, and I am
in favor of putting him in for one term
and if decided ability and statesmansliip
do not demand his services for a second
term then let him retire also. One term
is enough for a man unless his record
shows that he is a man of extraordinary
ability and the good of the country de
mands his return. Baldwin.
For the Uu ion X Recorder.
Bon. T. O. Lawson.
Messrs. Editors :
I have long been a subscriber to your
valuable paper, and claim the privilege of
being heard through its columns in a few
words for the good of our country.
I see the name of Col. T. G. Lawson
of Putnam county proposed for Congress
from this District. I have nothing to
say against other aspirants, but wish to
say something in behalf of Col. Lawson.
I have a great admiration for him as a
statesman, and a man of high Christian
character. I used to notice him closely
in days past in the House of the Georgia
Legislature as a man of marked ability—
always at his post, and never fading to
command the attention of the House.—
He was elected to Congress in the dark
days of 1868, but was cheated out of his
seat by Radical rule, therefore the place
is now due him. In Congress he would
make an influential and working member
for the South, just such as we need to
aid in recovering for us fraudulent taxes
and other losses we had to bear. I hope
the District Convention will consider his
claims and give him the nomination.

A (Dorman New Party Movement
The Nord Atnerikanisehe Turnerbund,
a national organization, comprising al
most all the German gymnastic associa
tions in this country, had its biennial
convention at Rochester, N. Y., lately.
The following, platform was unanimously
adopted:
“It is the aim of the organization, by
mutual efforts of the societies forming it,
to assist the work of educating mankind
into beings of sound mind and healthy
bodily constitution.
“We are convinced that a radical, social
political and religious reform can only be
attained by propogating education and
fostering true morality.
“We declare ourselves against every
attempt to restrict the liberty of con
science, as also of abridging the right
of the people to perfect our free institu
tions.”
The following resolutions were idso
passed as an expression of the political
sentiments pervading ilie convention:
It appeals certain that there exists in
none|of the present political organizations
an earnest purpose of reform in politics;
besides this, these organizations have
forfeited every claim to public confidence
by fostering unhealthy social and re
ligions excresences, and by lending sup
port to corruptionists and fanatics.
“This convention declares itself there
fore emphatically in favor of a new polit-
icaljorganization,whose main object ought
to be the preservation of personal liberty,
and earnest opposition to corruption in
public offices, and a hearty support of
timely reforms.
We hold that State and church ought
to be wholly separated. The State has
The Vatican is at war .with the world.
It finds Austria as hard to deal with as
Germany; Mexico as unamenable to its
authority as Switzerland. With the ex
ception of the Republic of Ecuador, which
lays half its public revenue at his Holi
ness's feet, the Pope's advisers have
contrived to pick some quarrel with every
State on both continents. Iu spite of all
the serpentine conning with which these
Vatican politicians are credited, tlieir
childish ingenuousness and their ignos
ranee of the ways of the world exceed ah
belief. The Pope seems really to think
the burly king who has made himself at
home in Quirinal to be nothing but a big
carbonaro. The temporal power, in the
opinion of Pius IX., has been overthrown
by “Young Italy,” not as most men would
interpret that expression, through the
natural aspirations of a long trodden
nation to better destinies, but by the
tenebrous work of that Magziman frater
nity which certainly never won Solferino
or Sadowa, or even poor Castelfidar-
do.
At all times dui'ing his twenty seven
years’ reign, Pope Pius IX, has shown
himself a flagrantly unpractical man. It
would hardly be possible to recall another
Pontificate more fraught with disaster
and ruin to the church, or one in which
misfortune could be more immediately
referred to the incapacity of its head.
The Pope started with the notion of the
perfect compatibility of civil liberty with
ecclesiastical authority ; and he ends by a
conviction of the necessity of placing
ecclesiastical authority over civil liberty.
The first mistake led him to Gaeta; the
second is now involving him in Church
and State quarrels, which have deprived
him of all earthly support. It is but
justice to say that he cares not for such
support His faith is in himself, or in
Providence, with which he identifies him
self. It is not so much his permanent
entourage as the crowds of visitors from
all quarters of the world, the adoration
with which they surround him, the mil
lions of francs in Peter’s pence which
they lay at his feet, that mislead him; it
is the incense which all nations bum at
the altar, tliat seems to get into his head,
and to encourage him in his fondest con^
celts. Because all the weak minded are
with him, he thinks that the strength of
the world is with him. But weakness,
however prevalent, will not easily become
strength. Napoleon IIL was in the
Pope’s imagination, a strong tower. So
was Francis Joseph, of Austria; and Pius
IX. leaned, now on one, now on the other,
of those monarchs, and sometimes on
both, till each prop broke. Now tliat
France is under a cloud, and Austria, in
the Pope's opinion, revolutionized, he
looks to the Legitimist ranks of Chambord
or Don Carlos for his champions. But
were those pretenders to fail utterly, he
would still insist that his faith is not, and
lias never been, in princes; that his power

Citizens' Association, of New York, held
meeting on Friday evening at the Ger

presiding. Magnus Gross, President of
the Executive Committee, read a paper
drawn up by the committee for the for
mation of the platform. The German
American Independent Citizens' Asso
ciation is the product of the union of the
German speaking Democrats, Republi
cans, Liberal Republicans, and Reformers.
The platform which was adopted is de

claims that little can be expected of the
old political parties, and hence it is the
duty of all thoughtful and conscientious
citizens to make a stand against them.

More particularly has the line of policy

taken a single step in that direction. The
responsibility for the present distressed
condition of tlte coontiw and for depreci

The Philadelphais Board of Health has
just issued a pamphlet for distribution to
parents and others interested in the man
agement of children, relating to the treat
ment of children during hot weather.
Briefly summarized, the suggestions are
as follows, and will no doubt apply to the
children of this city as well as those of
Philadelphia: “Bathe the child once a
day in tepid water; avoid all tight bandag
ing; let the child sleep by itself in a cot
or cradle; give it plenty of fresh air; keep
the house sweet and clean, cool and well
aired; if an infant can get and thrives on
natural food, none other should be given
it while the warm weather lasts; where
the supply is insufficient, goat’s or cow’s
milk should be given in addition, but if
the milk should disagree a tablespoonfnl
of lime water may be added to each bot
tleful; the nursing bottle must lie kept
perfectly clean, otherwise the milk will
turn sour, and the child will be made ill;
just before or during the hot weather, or,
as a rule until after the second summer,
the natural diet of the child should not be
changed. Appendedto the above, are a
number of plain rules for use in cases of
emergency, and several recipes for special
forms of diet are also given.

Political Affairs in France.
Paris, June 17.—In the Assembly on
the reading of the journal of yesterday’s
proceedings, loud complaints were made
by members of the inaccuracy of the list
of yeas and nays.
Gen. Cissey and three others said they
had voted in favor of the motion for nr
gency on the Left Centre’s bill.
A deputy, who voted against the motion
declared that seven members on the Left,
whose names were recorded in its favor,
were not present when the vote was taken.
He demanded a rectification of the vote,
which, according to his statement, ought
to stand 339 affirmative to 340 nega
tive.
Fmnoin of the Extreme Right, for
mally moved that the vote in question be
declared void. Buffett, the President of
the Assembly, maintained the validity of
the record. The Right Centre presented
constituent resolution defining the
powers of President MacMahon. It was
referred to a committee of thirty. The
republican journals to-day speak in
eulogistic terms of the members of both
the Right and Left Centres of tlie Assem
bly because of their vote yesterday against
the restoration of the monarchy. They
say the vote in the Assembly while it does
not proclaim the Republic, shows that the
monarchy is impossible.
The Orleanist journals effect to consid
er that the action of the Assembly leaves
the situation unchanged, but expresses
relief nevertheless that the consequences
of the vote will be a consideration of
MacMahon s powers. It is believed that
tho committee of thirty will not report
for a fortnight on the bills referred
to yesterday.
The Left have abandoned for the pres
ent the agitation for a dissolution of the
Assembly because the hope for the
organization of a republic by the Assem
bly has resulted in the appointment of
eight from the members of the Right and
seven from the Left including Lobalaye
Periere and Soy. A Committee of Par
liamentary initiation was oIbo appointed
and consists of eighteen members of the
Left and twelve of the Right Roche
foucauld's Monarchial resolution of yes
terday was finally referred to this Com
mittee but it is considered certain that
the resolution will not be reported to the
Assembly for discussion.

The National Crop Harter has pub

ninety eight correspondents, covering one
hundred and twenty-five counties in the
states of Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi
and Texas, in relation to the area planted
f.liia season in cotton and corn in those
states. Deductions are also published
from the estimates of correspondents in
relation to the total of spripg Ond winter
wheat now iu the ground, in the states of
Illinois. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin. The fob

information furnished in the matte? of

There is shown a falling off from the
area planted last year, averaging in the
four states first namaAJA C— 30 per cent
The decrease in area ia 18 4—19 per cent,
in Alaliama; 9 4—10 per cent in Arkan*
sas; 20 4—10 par cent in Mississippi,
and 5 2—10 per cent, in Texas.
The area devoted to corn in the same
is placed at an increase over the year past
to the extent of 9 7—10 per cent The
increase is given as 10 4—10 per cent, in
Alabama; 9 4—10 per cent, in Arkansas;
8 per cent in Mississippi, and 10 6—40
per cent, in Texas. The stand of both
cotton and com in the states named, was.
May 15, much below a full stand, although
the stand of corn was better than that of
cotton.
In Louisiana the majority of reports
received, speak of a considerable portion
of the lands as overflowed. In all the
four states, the lateness of the season has
very much delayed matters, and although
much of the replanting which became
necessary, hail been accomplished at the
date of the reports there will still be a
good deal of land idle.
Estimates of correspondents in the
eight western states previously mentioned,
indicate an average increase in the total
area of wheat of eight and two tenths per
cent.
The general condition # of the growing
grain at the date of the last report was
all that could be desired, although the
crop in Iowa has suffered somewhat
from the depredations of grasshop

A Great Wheat Crop.
White bread will he cheap and abund

of the new crop are glowing. California
has increased her wheat acreage from
1,696,622 last year to over two millions
acres. Tho average yield last year was
about fourteen bushels to the acre, but
this year it will be twenty bushels—giv

crop—much the largest
that State. Indeed, the
Nashville papers state that only the un
usually heavy spring rains prevented the
average yield of Tennessee from being
actually doubled this year. The Union
and American says that of seven form
crops in Davidson county reported at
that office, in one day, the avenge pre
duct ranges from nineteen to twenty-
eight bushels.
About Knoxville, East Tennessee, a
lively betting and bantering is going on
among producers as to the best yield,
and all the samples sent in to that mar
ket are unusually goo I. Not one has
been received which could be classed as
second quality.
The first flour from new wheat was
turned out in Noshville on the 13th.
Contracts for 5000 bushels were made on
that day at si 25.
Kentucky is also rejoicing in an extra
ordinary wheat crop—greatly exceeding
last year in acreage and still more in pro
duct, while the quality is unexampled.
The Georgia crop, we know, is for be
yond average, and the outflow of money
from this State for foreign wheat and
flour will be largely reduced- It is not
to be doubted that the abundant food
harvests will soon stimulate activity in
business.— Telegraph <t Messenger.
Effects of Ashes and Lime.
Place a piece of iron or steel in damp
ashes, and it will soon corrode with rust
Place the iron or steel in lime mortar,
and the rust will disappear. Sow
gr ain where a brush-pile or log heap has
been burned, or where a liberal dressing
of ashes has beep applied, and there will
be a rank growth that will probably foil

In an article in one of the popular

they produce an injurious effeet on the 1 ^'

Ashes cause a rank growth of the her
baceous part of the plants, such as the
leaves, straw and grass; lime indaces a
growth of the woody part of plants, and
the grain or fruit. Ashes stimulate heavy
muck, and rich or virgin soile. They ap
pear to disintegrate or make available
what is air early in the soil. They seem
to act specially on vegetable mold and
manures from the barn-yard. Apply them
to the most offensive pile of compost and
they will render it inodorous and wc
less as a fertilizer, their effect being that
of releasing the ammonia from the com
post. Ashes used with a compost heap of
decaying vegetable matter would be wast
ed—worse than wasted—as they render
the compost inert as a fertilizer. Applied
to an offensive sink, sewer or cesspool,
they serve an excellent purpose as a dis
infectant. They promote the growth of
grass and forage especially, proving very
valuable on low lands; will stimulate
numerous varieties were produced in
France between that date and 1814, when,
on the return of peace, the improved
flower created a great sensation among
English visitors to Paris, which lead to
large importations of the root during
the ensuing winter. Lady Holland sent
seeds, n<3t roots, from Madrid in May,
1804. The first plant flowered at Holland
House in the September following, and
was figured in Andrews’ “Botany.” The
seeds ripened in 1805, and were generally
distributed iu 1806. The original plants
at Madrid did not appeal- to have yielded
many varieties—not more than three are
mentioned. Humboldt, however, who
found the plant growing in sandy mead
ows, 5,000 feet above the sea, sent home
fresh seeds from Mexico in 1804 to Paris
and Berlin, from which the numerous var
ieties subsequently obtained were derived.
The first double flower was prqdnced at
Berlin in 1809, and even so late as 1818
Sabine was told of a double white, but
“doubted its existence.” It is interesting
to remark that De Candolle expressed his
opinion that he should never see a blue
dahlia, on the ground that blue and yel
low being tbe fundamental types of colors
in flowers mutually exclude each other.
The root was included in the “Bon Jar
dinier” for 1817, among tlie, “Plates Po-
tageres,” but no mention is made of its
use for Palestine soup.

soil is strong. They exhaust strong soils
and injure poor ones.
Lime improves poor soils, especially
sandy ones, by rendering them mori
compact and capable of retaining fertil
ity when applied. As a promoter of
health and vigor in apple trees it is one
of the best applications that can be mock
to the soil. Under its influence trees ma
ture well, the fruit is finer, and trees are
freer from disease. Lime may be «p-
plied with benefit on most soils many

apple tree and strawberry plant, while
ashes are valuable on heavy or rich soflg
