THE mm & RECORDER.
Old “SouthernjRecorder” and “Federal Union”
[consolidated.]
DHLI.ED SEVILLE, OA:
Tuesday, November 2, 1875.
The New State Constitutions,
North Carolina, Missouri, Alabama
and Texas have all had Constitution*
al Conventions within a short time,
and had their Constitutions amend
ed, and it is believed that each of
these States will save annually sever
al hundred thousand dollars in their
yearly expenses by these amend
ments. No State needs amend-
ments to their Constitution more
than Georgia. In none of the States
were the taxes more oppressive, but
yet our Legislature have presistent-
ly refused to call a convention. They
have done this when they knew that
a majority of the people wanted a
convention. This fact is proven
by their voting against leaving the
question to a vote of the people.
They refused to let the people say
whether they wanted a convention
or not. But the taxes are now so
heavy it is time for the people to
speak if they do not wish to be crush
ed. The question will be, Conven
tion and lighter taxation, or no con
vention and crushing taxes.

The Elections.
To.dny (Tuesday) November 3ad.
Elections take place to-day in New
York, {Pennsylvania, Massachusetts
and several of the smaller States.
We think the Democracy will succeed
in New York, although there are sevc
eral anti-Tammany tickets got up
which will be supported by Republi
cans and anti-Tammany Democrats.
We should have great hope that the
Democrats would succeed in Penn
sylvania if there could be a fair elec
tion in the city of Philadelphia, but
that great city has for several years
been under the control of a corrupt
ring of repeaters and ballot box
stuffers, and they keep back the re
turns of several of the wards of
Philadelphia until they hear the
result in other parts of the State,
and if a few thousand votes are
wanting * to carry the election
for the Radicals, they are very
easily put into those boxes under
their control. Under such a state of
affairs there can bo no dependence
on Pennsylvania. If the Democrats
are smart enough to secure an honest
vote and count in the city of Phila
delphia, wo believe they will carry
the State, but that is very doubtful.
Great calculations are made by both
parties on the election to-day;
should they go generally in favor of
either party it will give that party
the advantage in the Presidential
contest; but, if they are divided it \
will leave tho presidency still doubt- !
ful.
The Third Term Looming up
again.
We do not believe that Gen. Grant
has ever for a moment relinquished i
the idea of being a candidate for the
Presidency next year. If he ever
did give up the idea recent events j
show very plainly that he is again in j
the field. His letter to the Chair
man of the Republican Central Com
mittee of Pennsylvania, his speech
at Des Moines, and more than all
his appointment of Zach Chandler
to a place in his Cabinet, all show
his longing after the third term. Of

The National and Denominations
al Education Controversy.
To the Editor of the “ Ulster Echo
Sir,—With reference to the never-
ending controversy between the ad
vocates of National and denomina
tional education, the following com
parison of the regulations in force
in the public elementary schools of
the three kingdoms of England,
Scotland, and Ireland will no doubt
be of much interest at the present
crisis, especially as there is much
misconception as to the degree In
which the three systems resemble,
or differ from, each other in a de
nominational aspect:—
England and Wales.—“It shall
not bo required as a condition of any
child being admitted into, or contin
uing in, the school that ho shall at
tend, or abstain from attending, any
Sunday-school or any place of reli
gions worship, or that he shall attend
any religious observance, or any in
struction in religious subjects, in
the schools or elsewhere, from which
observance or instruction he may
be withdrawn by his parent, or that
he shall, if withdrawn by his parent,
attend the school on any given day
exclusively set apart for religious
observance by the religious body to
which the parent belongs.
“The time or times during which
any religious observance is practis
ed, or instruction in religions sub
jects is given, at any meeting of the
school, shall be either at the begin
ning or at the end, of such meeting,
and shall be inserted in a time-table
to be approved by the Education
Department, and to be kept perma
nently and conspicuously affixed in
every school-room ; and any scholar
may be withdrawn by his parent
from such observance or instruction
without forfeiting any of the other
benefits of the school.”
Scotland.—“The school shall be
opened to children of all denomina
tions, and any child may be with
drawn by his parents from any in
struction in religious subjects, and
from any religious observance in any
such school; and no child shall in
any such school be placed at any
disadvantage with respect to the se
cular instruction given therein by
reason of the denomination to which
such child or his parents belong, or
by reason of his being withdrawn
from any instruction in religious
subjects.
“The time or times during which
any religious observance is practiced

The Duty of Visiting the Sick.
"When Jesus Christ walked the
earth in human form clothed with
flesh, subject to infirmities like unto
ourselves, he spent the greater part
of his time going about doing good.
He visited the sick, soothed their
sorrows and healed their diseases.
His life was intended as an examplo
for all those who believe in Him to
follow. Ho thought visiting the
sick so essential to the character of
a Christian that he mado it one of
the conditions upon which we shall
be permitted to enter Heaven. If
any one doubts this, let him or her
read the twenty-fifth chapter of
Mathew, from the 31st verse to the
end of the chapter, and remember
the same man, Christ Jesus, who ut
tered those words, will be our judge
in the great trial which is to fix our
doom for eternity. Remember the
decision of the Judge on that awful
occasion: “And the King shall say
to those on his right hand, come ye
blessed, ’ Ac., “for I was sick and ye
visited me,” Ac. “And to those on

The people, therefore, need have no
apprehensions about their spoons.

The Baptist Female Seminary.
Editors Sandhrsville Herald and
Georgian : It is known to most of
your readers that the Georgia Bap
tist convention, at its late session in
Milledgeville, appointed a commit
tee to receive applications, and to lo
cate in the state a female seminary of
high grade. The plan contemplates an
ing in to Sandersville were lined ! endowed institution, equal to Mercer
with vehicles, and before eleven
may be of some general interest.
The Fair opened on Thursday,
but nothing was accomplished until
Friday, as most of the entries were
delayed until the first day of the
Fair. On Friday all the roads lead-

directly or indirectly from the other
advantages which the school affords.
“In vested schools such pastors or
other persons as shall be approved
of by the parents or guardians of tho
children respectively, shall have ac
cess to them in the schoolroom for
the purpose of giving them religious
instruction there at times convenient
for that purpose—that is, at times so
appointed as not to interfere undu

manifested in the proposed seminary,
and the number and amount of the
bids will no doubt be very much in
creased. At the risk of misrepre
senting some locality I shall attempt
to give a synopsis of the bids already
received:
1st. Gainesville tenders from four
to six acres of land, and twenty
thousand dollars in money. Claims
health, cheap living, suitable locality,
morality, and a population of three

2nd. Marietta tenders beautiful
grounds, a splendid college building,

erable money.
denominational instruction in hours
of united attendance is prohibited in

instruction in all the vested national
J schools of Ireland alone.
Under these circumstances it ap
, pears more hopeless than ever to ex
I pect that any portion of the Parlia-
; mentary grant for elementary popu
lar education in Ireland will be devo
ted to schools conducted on denomi
national principles, and that any

If Jesus Christ in the body was now

neglect this duty to each other as if ;
we neglected Him. Remember the
sentence : Depait ye cursed into ev- ;

their own supplies. He said the
country needed now, most of all, the
plough boy, the artisan and the
house girl. In the conclusion
of his remarks, he alluded to
tho newspaper report of an ad
dress he made at Dalton some
months ago. which affirmed that he
said that “all the slick headed clerks
who parted their hair in the middle
and wore blue cravats, and made
looking glasses in their boots, should

and yet there are many who think
themselves Christians and expect to
go to Heaven who continually neg
lect this duty. These must believe
one of two things: Either that
Christ was not in earnest when He
made the declaration quoted above,
or that He has changed his mind
since. But it is impossible for a
Christian to believe either of these
suppositions. This question then
arises, What will be the sentence of
those who knowingly and willfully
neglect visiting the sick ?

is reported as succesful in every re

obedience to God will insure all

The Homestead Law.
The most important decision to
the masses of Georgians that has
been made for a great while was an
nounced by our Supreme Court on
the 26th tdt.
That Court held that the 11th Sec
tion of the Act of 1868 which pro
vides for setting apart the homestead
is unconstitutional and void, inas
much as the Constitution only au
thorized the Legislature to provide
for protecting and securing the home
stead for the sole use of the families
for whom set apart. Therefore, they
hold that the homestead cannot be
sold by any means whatever. The
sales that have been made heretofore
are all void so far as the rights of
the wife and minor children are con
cerned.
If this decision does not create a
flutter in Georgia, then we will be
deceived as to its result*

Wheat Culture.
Under our present system of la
bor it is impossible to cultivate as
many acres of land to a hand as in
the anti-bellnm times. It is of the
highest importance to make the
diminished quantity produce as much
or more than the greater breadth of
former years. In a political econo
mic view this proposition should en
gage the attention not only of weal thy
planters but of every agriculturist,
however limited his field of operation.
To impress this matter upon the
attention of your readers I will pre
sent a few facts on the culture of
wheat:
I was much in the habit; when
connected with the press, of clipping
receipts and articles, of useful sug
gestions, from my numerous exchan
ges. In looking over some of those
articles a day or two since, I came
across the following editorial state
ment of the Macon Journal A Mes
senger:
“Drilling Wheat.—We have been
shown a specimen of very fine wheat
raised by Rev. J. R. Thomas, of
Oxford Ga. It is what is called the
Schley variety, and the grain is the
largest and plumpest we have ever
seen. On one acre and a half, with
less than a half bushel of seed, Dr.
T. gathered and thrashed out fifty
bushels and one gallon of wheat, by
accurate measurement, besides sever
al bushels shattered out on the field.
When.it is considered that this wheat
was grown in a young and bearing
apple orchard, which interfered more
or less with the culture of the crop
tho yield is remarkable. This large ^
product is the result of drilling, and
shows conclusively the benefits of
this mode of culture, by economis
ing both land and seed, important
considerations in these times of scar
city and high prices, especially when
individuals cultivate but small patch
es. Had Dr. Thomas worked his
wheat in the drill as is customary in
Europe, he thinks tho product would
have been still larger, undoubtedly
it would have been, for drilled wheat
ploughed once or twice in Europe,
often yiold fifty to sixty bushels to
the acre. But that large yield is
made on rich land very nicely work
ed.
The rnodo of wheat culture in
China and Japan, and of rice too, in
many instances is to draw the plants
as we do cabbages from beds, where
the seed are sown, and set them out in
the rows probably eight to ten inches
apart. The quantities of grain on
small plots, are astonishingly great.
That mode of culture would answer
well where the plots are small, and
the population is so immense. Weak
and feeble hands can do the work
at small expense, and the crop will
always greatly exceed those of the
broadcast culture.
By drilling amidst the growth of
apple trees, and without hoeing or
plowing, Dr. Thomas made over
thirty three bushels per acre. The
necessary corailary, from his experi
ment, and the culture of the Chinese
and Japanese is, that the unusual
yields were caused by the open spa- ,
ees which admitted the sun and air i

Ordered-
Sale
Atlanta, October 29.—In the Uni

ing, Hon. Judge Wood presiding,
in the case of Wilmer and others,
iw suii.u i.uiiiiiicu “' T ' first mortgage bondholders, against
to the roots of the growing plants. : AtWo
I think Dr. Thomas would have bar
vested more wheat from his acre
and a half if he had used one peck
instead of a half bushel of seed. It
was sown too thick in the drill, and
could not branch and spread to the
best advantage. Without incumber
ing this article with unnecessary de
tails, I will quote a few sentences
from an article of a correspondent of
the “American Farmer.” “In May,
what few seed remained on the land,
to my other astonishment commen
ced to branch and tiller off, and
throw up vigorous stems; and in Ju
ly early, before I commenced to reap,
I had the curiosity to give it agener-
al examination. I counted sixty
good, healthy, heads from one grain,
the heads measuring from four to
five inches, and a half in length.”
All of the above facts sustain fully,
the corallary referred to. The dis
tance between the rows is not given;
but if they should be placed fifteen
to eighteen inches apart, one or two
light plowings might be given the !
plants. If not sown too thick the !
wheat would so spread as to meet I
and touch between the rows. Would j
it not be well for our farmers to try
this method on a small scale. No
one could donbt the statement; com- j
ing from such a man as Dr. Thomas. 1
Forty bushels of wheat, or even !
thirty would pay handsomely for
breaking up the land well, sowing the j
seed carefully, and rolling the drills,
and plowing lightly once or twice.
This would be far better than to
broadcast in the usual way and reap
from eight to twelve bushels, the
ordinary average in this state.

Georgia Agricultural Statistics
Atlanta, October 29.—The Octo~
ber report of the Georgia State De
partment of Agriculture made up to
the 15th inst., shows an estimated
yield, compared to last year, of corn
86, and of cotton 73£. The estima
ted acreage, compared with last year,
of wheat sowed and to be sowed this
fall, is 112; of oats, 145. Eighty-
three per cent, of the correspond
ents of the depi rtment report cotton
picking better advanced than last
year, and 63 per cent, report it saved
in good condition. The average cost
of raising a bushel of corn in Geor
gia is reported at 58 cents, and of
oats 29 cents, and of a pound of cot
ton 11 cents. The average cost of
raising a horse or mule to three
years old is reported at $60. The
number annually foalded is reported
at 6,033. One million and one thou
sand dollars were expended this year
in buying horses and mules brought
into the State. Ninety-one per cent
of the correspondents report an in
crease in stock hogs, and 27 per
cent, report a full supply of pork
raised at home. Ninety-six per cent,
report that cotton cannot be raised
at a profit at present prices on
bought farm supplies, while 84 per
cent, say it can be raised at a profit
at present prices if all supplies are
raised on the farm. Twenty-eight
gin-houses were burned by incendiary
fires and fifteen by accidental fires
in the State within the past twelve
months, and involved a loss of over
$70,000. The negroes are reported
in debt to the farmers and merchants
for supplies advanced last year and
carried over to this year, to the a-
mount of $1,466,700.

Fire in Eufaula—Loss 920,000.
Eufaula, Ala., October 27.—Skill-
man’s livery stable, on Randolph
street, three stores on the south side
of Broad street, a dwelling houso
and six or eight frame buildings in
rear of stores used as warerooms,
etc., were destroyed by fire last
night.-
The loss will reach $20,000 in de
struction of property and damage to
goods. Insurance $12,100. The fire
was accidental, and broke out in the
livery stable. No horses were burn
ed to death, but several were badly
scorched. So many large frame build
ings made the fire an immense con
flagration. All were dry from the
long drought, and burned with start
ling rapidity. The heaviest losses
are T. McKenna, Rowlett & Labatcb,
and Mr. J. A. McKenzie.
