GA MILLED GEriLLE, Tuesday, May 8, 1877. $ NEW P^RTY. As yet we have do assurances of the birth of a new party, to be call ed a Whig, or Whig Republican pare ty- The New York f hr aid, certain ly presents itself as a voluntary ac couchour at the birth of the new ban tling for popular favor should it oc cur, and Mr. Secretary Thompson, of Mr. Hayes’ Cabinet, seems ready to act in the capacity of God-father. It would certainly have a brilliant commencement under the auspices of a journal that has been upon both sides of all parties, and all ques tions, and of a Secretary who says, it is desirable that “the voters of the South be separated into new classes,” and who says farther: “The Whigs of the South are not Democrats; they never .were and never will be, and they will qo into a new organization if it carries in it old Whig princi ples, or even into an old organizii- tion governed bv those principles.” He means by an old organization the Republican party, for he adds: “These principles ought to be em braced by the Republican party, or by anew Whig-Republican party.”— His view is more clearly shown in another declaration to the Editor of the Nation (a paper published at Washington which favors a new par ty) when he says: “If a new party were organized, or the Republican party so reorganized, as to recognize Whig measures as distinct features of it, the old Whig members in the South would fall into its ranks.”— This is a clear invitation to the old line Whigs of the South to join the Republican Party under the indica ted changes and reorganization. An other Secretary, Mr. McCrary, desir ed in effect, that people of the South should join the Republican Party in support of President Hayes' South ern policy. He said: “I see no good reason for disorganizing the Repub lican Party; but on the contrary, there are strong reasons against such a course.” Again he said: “In spite of its imperfections the Repub lican Party is the greatest and best party ever organized in this country and it contains the elements of Strength, progress and self-correction an an unexampled degree. If it be said that it has accomplished it’s mission, I answer it has accomplish ed several great missions, and is, ihereforo the better fitted to go for ward and undertake other great duties. Its uniform success and its wonderful achievements are not arguments in favor of its aban donment, but emphatically in favor of its continuance.” Mr. Key, the Democratic Postmas ter General, in the Cabinet, said, the articles of the Herald were admira ble. He too favors a new party.— He says the President’s Southern policy “will divide the Democratic Party South and gain a great many of the voters to the support of the Administration. Whether they will go so far as to call themselves Re publicans, I don't know. Certain it is that our strength is daily in creasing, and the Administration is growing more and more popular in every Southern State; of this I have better means of judging perhaps, than it would bo proper to to.l, but of the fact you may rest assured.” “In speaking of representative men of the South", Mr. Key says, “I do not consider General Gordon one of them.” He favors Lamar, Senator Garland ot Arkansas, and Gen. Mor gan, of Alabama, more. He says, the work of the Herald will first manifest itself in the South. In his remarks Mr. Key said: “What tho South needs is justice and common Benso.” What Mr. Key needs, is evi dently, “common sense.” W e will now see what the Herald says. “Let the true men of the South —men like Lamar, Hampton, Lee, Gordon and their fellows -throw aside all political ties, and uniting with men like Conkling, Fish, Hoar, Evarts, Adams, Edmunds and Dix, form a new party whose first duty will be justice, magnanimity and aid to the South.” The Hu aid makes no allusion to Mr. Tilden and Mr- Hendricks, the man who bore the Democratic stan dard to a victory, the fruits of which the South was cheated of by some of the very men it tells us to embrace, and look to, for magnanimity and justice!! Is the Herald crazy? or does it think tho people of the South are idiots? To express our views in full upon this polluted scheme, would require columns. We throw out these few facts as nuts for our readers to crack. What Party has affiliated with and sustained the people of the South since the close of the war? The Democratic Party. If justice had been done, Mr. Tilden would now be President, and ajl the South could have asked, would have been accord ed her. Even thus early we are invit ed to an act of disgraceful treachery, that would put us, if carried out, up on a level with those who have op pressed us, and robbed us of our great ballot-rights by nefarious frauds. Our people will not be mis led by such baubles as these. If they are, Mr. Key’s declaration, that they lack “common sense,” will be fully justified. We will refer to this subject again. THE ljOMhSTE^D. The following is the provision in the present Constitution of Georgia in relation to a “Homestead.’’ “Each head of a family, or guar dian, or trustee of a family or minor children, shall be entitled to a home- Tl)e Effect* cf tije fjUtcrQ War Upor, flj* Southern States of Our Uijioij. I have noticed, with much interest the speculations of commercial and financial writers upon the probable ( fleets of the Russo Turkieh war up on the varied interests of the differ- TTfuBipB stead of realty to the value of two j ent sections of the United States.— thousand dollars in specie and fur ther property to the value of one thousand dollars in specie, both to be valued at the time they are set apart, and no court or ministerial officer in this State shall ever have jurisdiction, or authority', to enforce any judicial decree or execution a gainst said property so set apart, in cluding such improvements as may be made thereon, from time to time, except for tax, money borrowed and expended in the improvement of the homestead or for the purchase money of the same and for labor done there on, or material furniture therefor, or removal of encumbrances thereon: and it shall be the duty of the Gen-, eral Assembly as early as practicable to provide by law for the setting a- part and valuation of said property and to enact laws for the full and complete protection and security of the same to the sole use and benefit of said family as aforesaid.” No one doubts that the promise of a relief law like this, secured many thousand votes to the Repub ican Party, and it is now thrown out to the friends of the measure that if a convention is held it will be expung ed from the constitution. We have no idea that this stroke of policy will do the convention cause any harm, The more the people think of this clause in the constitution the more objectionable it will become to any reasonable voter. We have seldom conversed with any one who was op posed to a relief measure of some kind: and never with any one who did not think that the present home stead is unreasonable in amount and injurious in its effect upon the gener al interests of the State, Thousands, who favored relief, were disgusted with the measure adopted. They ware willing to do something for needy families, but at the same time, they remembered that there were many creditors who had become poor themselves, and they were not will ing to strip them of the last dollar. A. made a contract with B.— bought property from him to the a- mount, say, of fifteen hundred dol lars. Both suffered from the war, B. perhaps, in a far greater degree than A; in fact tc such an extent as to have nothing left but the amount due him by A. yet the Homestead law places A. in comparative opu lence while he. (B.) is reduced to ab ject poverty. No one will deny that it is the du ty of government to protect equally the property of all the citizens. This certainly would not be done by giv ing a homestead in land and other property to the amount of three It is not my purpose, Messrs Edit ors, to tax your readers, or your space, with an extended array of figures or comments upon these im portant matters, and what I shall say npon them will have exclusive reference to southern industries and interests. * It L is been very justly stated I think, that if tbe war shall be pro tracted it will add 25 per cent at least to the cost of living in this country; but should it have that ef fect in the Northern and Western States, it will not be so seriously felt in those sections, as in the Southern, especially, the cotton States. The grain and shipping in the former will be vastly benefitted. But every interest in the latter will feel an additional pressure to that which has been checking their prosperity for years. In all of the speculations of the writers to whom I have referred the idea is advanced that the price of cotton will be run down to lower figures than the pres ent, already distressingly low. It is only the planters, who cultivate rich lands, that can realize profits from present prices. The man, who makes a bale of cotton to the acre, has a double advantage over him who makes only half a bale. Even the planter, with the rich land, will find the production of cotton unre- munerative if the price descends much lower. For many years Russia and Prus sia, and even Germany and France, took the lead in supplying the wheat wants of other countries in Europe. The United States advanced ahead of them all, twelve or fifteen years since, leaving even Russia, the great est grain supplier of tbe world, far behind. The Turks are bombarding Russian towns on the Black sea to which her grains were mainly car ried for shipment to other countries. Recent accounts state that Turkish iron clads were already in tho port of Odessa, the greatest grain entre pot of all and were awaiting orders to bombard it. Such is the superi ority of the Turkish navy that Rus sian grains will be locked up in that city, perhaps destroyed—unless they are removed. There is then no chance for those supplies to reach English and other ports to which heretofore, they were sent in immense quanti ties. France, Germany, Italy, Spain and some other countries as well as England will have to look to other quarters to meet their wants, and no where can they look with the same certainty of success as to the United States. This will cause a heavy ad vance in wheat, and corn also,- which thousand dollars, in specie, to A. 1 is largely shipped. This has already when he was justly indebted to B. for half that sum. Besides the cruelty of this, such a measure is a violation of the constitution of the United States which says, ‘No State shall pass a law impairing the obliga tion of contracts.’ If A. by contract, become justly and legally indebted to B. in the sum of fifteen hundred dol lars, does not the State of Georgia impair the obligation of the contract when it arbitrarily sets apart a home stead and other property to A. Jargo- ly in excess of that debt. But some may say, what is to be come of helpless women and children? If tho head of a family is a man it taken place in the cereals, and meat also of all kiuds. The war will not only tako immense quantities of those articles from this country, but possibly, yea probably, on so large a scale as to diminish to some extent the production of meat in this coun try, because of the limited supply of the cereals that will be retained. In our section, we do not even produce them in sufficient quantities for home use, but rely in an excessive degree upon the West and North-West for our supplies. To protect themselves against extravagant prices, it is evidently the policy of our people to push more is his duty take care of his wife and extensively the production of every Letter of Gen. Toombs.—Any man who knows the Truth when he sees it, cannot fail to find it in the letter oflGen. Toombs setting forth reasons why the Constitution should be revised. Whatever may he said of the writer, none but ‘fools or knaves’can object to the sentiments contained in his patriotic letter. No more ardent lover of liberty than Mr. Toombs ever breathed the free air of any country: and in intellect he towers far above the politicians who have taken charge of t he government since our unfortunate war, and his cool, deliber ate utterances are worthy of the thought ful consideration of all men who are capa ble of patriotic emotions. If any man can read that letter and not be ashamed to vote against a Convention he cannot ap preciate true liberty and is unfit to live under a constitutional government. The letter will be found on our first page. children; in addition to that, the State should be a watchful guardian and helper, especially, if the head is unable to provide suitably for them. But B. and his wife and children may be as deeply broken by adver sity and pitiless want aB A. and his. If we must impair the obligation of contracts in the interest of human ity, let us remember that the poor creditor may stand in need of help as well as the poor debtor. It is a mockery of humanity to give bread to the debtor and a stone to the creditor. Both should have equal rights under the law. We should have a poor opinion of a debtor who is willing to be saved by the ruin of his creditor who may, from motives of kindness and friendship, have aid ed him in his necessities. Those who have taken advantage of the homestead law need not f§ar any thing from a Convention. Their rights under the law will not be dis turbed. Those who have not, and desire to do so, will have ample time to participate in its favoritism ; for, should the convention be held and the homestead provision be stricken out the new constitution, after it is framed it will have to be submitted to the people for ratification before it will become the fundamental law of the State. In all probability a homestead provision of some kind will be incorporated in the new con stitution that will be safer than tbe present one, and more consistent with the principles of justice. There are other points we would be pleas ed to touch upon in connection with this subject, but we will postpone them to the next issue of our paper. Lelter From Nortlj Georgia. North Ga., April 38,1877. Editors Union Recorder: I understand that the Atlantcse try to create tho impression that all North (Jeor- gia is opposed to a Convention, but more especially to the Capital heing removed hark home where it was located by our fathers. This isa grand mistake so far as true Democrats are concerned and old Whigs. Tho carpet-baggers ami negroes are against it, that fact is true. It is believ ed by many that the State has a honn fids title 1 to what is called tho Capitol in Atlan ta. This is a sad mistake to the tax-payers of the State! There is not a lawyer in the State, of any note, who will say that the title is good after a fair investigation. A aim will be set tip for it just as soon as the question is docidod, either way, and tho State will lost* it; mark the prediction. On the score of right, justice and economy, every Georgian should vote for the Conven tion and the removal of the Capital back to Millcdgcville for several reasons. Ono or two of which I will give. 1st. It was removed from there through corruption and fraud of the darkest dye. All admit that in their hearts. 3d. If it is moved back there the State will have a Capitol and all the other build ings necessary, erected without buying the grounds and hnildiug them. 3d. It will lessen our taxes and shorten the sessions of the Legislature, many days. 4t.li. It will be returning to a system of economy and gel ting out of Sodom. Other reasons could bo given, and will he soon. Cherokee. thing that will be needed in tbe pro vision line. It is not too late to extend the corn area, and tho exact time is at hand to plant peas and I beans. They can be profitably cul tivated as a separate crop, and plan ted among corn as law as July, without an apparent injury to eith er crop. Fortunately for us this would be good policy even in the absence of war; but with its existence—for it has al ready commenced on a scale which promises to equal that of the first Napoleon’s times-ordinary prudence yea a necessary self protection, de mands of our people to guard them selves against impending and crush ing sacrifices. We hope that no one will trust to the illnsive hope that the - accounts are worse than the real state of facts, or that the war will bo of short duration. The pro babilities are that all Europe will be drawn into the bloody vortex before its close. More than three hundred thousand Russians are already on the confines of Turkey, and the Turks a brave and war like people, march ing, under the silver crescent and the banner of Mahommed Mustapha, in their eyes the greatest of all Proph ets upon whom rest the blessings of God, have resolved upon victoiy or death. Forty millions of people, fired with fanatic patriotism, are ready to lay down their lives in de fence of the Osmanli, and more than a hundred millions more will send their quotas in defence ot theKalisfat. In all probability it will be a terrible and lasting war. Let ns, who can de rive no benefit from it, seek every means to guard against, to us, its incidental evils. J. NIGHT. Enormous profits are reported to have been made by New York specu lators on the recent advance in bread staffs. Among others it is said that ©x-Shenff O’Brien has made over $60,000. He is reported to have gone to a prominent broker a few weeks ago with $1,000, which he put pp on a margin for a rise in grain. This venture turned him $10,000 profit, the whole of which he imme diately pat ap again, with the result stated. I love thee when thou eomest, glorions sun.

Ga., May 3, 1877. j" To the fanners of Georgia: In view of the war in Europe, and tbe probable scarcity and high prices of breadstuffs and low price of eot- ton which will prevail, I again respect fully advise that you will, by every means in your power, increase the area planted in provision crops. .1 suggest checking your fields of cot ton with corn in rows fifteen to twen ty feet apart, one hill at every inter section. With fair seasons, this will very largely increaso the product of corn, without a corresponding decrease of the cotton. I further suggest the planting of the stubble fields in peas so soon as the wheat and oats shall have teen harvested. Pay special attention to the rais ing every pound of pork possible.— Take care of the pigs. These suggestions are not design ed to alarm or to create a sensation. A word to the wise is sufficient. “A prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself, but the simple pass on and are punished.” Very respectfully, Thomas P. Janes, Commissioner of Agriculture. ttoaera! and Foreign Sews. ' News from the East, as late as the 29th of April, says that Roumauia gives the Russians a free passage for their armies, and the nse of her roads, rail wavs, rivers and telegraphs. The resources of tbe country are also allowed them end the Roumauia au thorities assist in erecting camps and forwarding baggage. The Russians are allowed to establish military stations and hospitals anywhere exs cept in Bucharest, the capital. These and other advantages make Rourna- nia an ally of the Russians. The Russians are strongly fortify ing Gnlatz, in Moldavia on the Dan ube. A great lire occurred in Constan tinople destroying fivo hundred houses. The Russians have siezod three Austrian Lloyd vessels for carrying contrabands. Austria has remon strated. Strong expressions of sym pathy for the Turks arc manifested in Hungary. It is estimated that 97 Turkish in fantry battalions are at or near Drobudoche. Closing up the Danube by Russia promises to bo a serious matter.— Its freedom is stipulated in the trea ty of Paris. The London Times says that if Russia attempts to beseige Constan tinople she w ould have to meet not Turkey alone, nor England, but the whole of western Europe': To sup pose, says that paper, that Russia will attempt that, is to suppose she has lost her senses. It is supposed that both England and France will issue proclamations of neutrality. A later dispatch says that the Queen of England had issued such a proclamation. Mr. Gladstone gave notice in the House of Commons that he would introduce five resolutions setting forth in effect, that England has just cause of complaint at the conduct of tbe Porte that unless guarantees are given the Porte has no moral or material claim to the support of the British Crown; that tho moral in fluence of England be employed for ‘the development of liberty and local self government in the disturbed provinces; that Turkey should adopt a policy of humanity and justice,— Mr. Gladstone stated the resolutions would be submitted on his own re sponsibility. Monday was appoint ed for debate on the resolutions. The Porte has issued a proclama tion that those Russians, in Turkey, who will not submit to Turkish laws, must leave Constantinople within 10 .days, and the provinces within 21 days- The Turkish Admiral Hobast Pasha returned to Constantinople, having brought a dispatch boat in which he was aboard down the Dans ube'under the fire of the Russians. A special to the Chronicle and Constitutionalist, of the 30th of April says ; “The whole number of of the Mackeyites admitted into the South Carolina legislature up to that day was 20.” Proofs of the commission of divers frauds committed by Republican Senators and the Clerk ol the Sen ate, says the same dispatch, in sub stance, are accumulating in number and kind to insure their prosecution and conviction. Alluding to the corrupt practice of the Republican clerk of the Senate and members of that Republican body, the special to the Charleston News and Courier of tho 29th of April, contains tbe following: Among the hundreds of these or ders I have seen are the following specimens: Columbly, S. C,, March 8, 1872, Mr. George Sgmmers: Please send one box best champagne. J. Woodruff, C. S. Send to Finance Committee room. J. M. Allen.

Besides these, which give a fair idea of the whole, there are orders for barrels of sugar and flour, and luxuries of every description; and these orders, while in some cases they do not bear the signature of the clerk in his official capacity, art all headed either “Senate Chamber,” or some committee room. This evi dence, standing alone, is powerfully convincing. What, then, will be the effect when this proof is supplemen ted by the oral testimony of the mer chants, that they were paid for these goods in almost every instance in State warrants, signed by the Presi dent and Clerk of the Senate. A few days will bring matters to a point, and it is now the general opin ion that the members fof the] Ring will “fold their tents like the Arabs and as.silently steal (as nsnal) a- way.” Chamberlain’s family left on the night of the 29th for Washington, and be will follow as soon as he can settle his business matters in Colum bia ?"S555S3 Heavy guna began to fire, but ttothy mo was ran ao close In shore that the gnnnere were onable to depress the pieces fast enough to get good aim.

The Mississippi Tragedy.—Jackson May 1.—Thj following additional account was received on the affair in Kemper county: Thursday evening John W* Gaily, a prominent citizen of Kemper county, was assassinated by an unknown party, and there was intense excitement. Every means were resorted to to discover the per petrators. Saturaay two colored men made affidavits that Benjamin Rush, a white man, did the deed, and that Judge Chisolm, who ran for Congress on the Republican tick et in the Third District at the last election, his son and Gilmer Rosen baum and Hopper, a prominent white Repnblican, knew of and in stigated the crime. Chisolm and son were arrested and imprisoned at DeKalb. Mrs. Chisolm and daugh ter insisted on sharing their confine ment. Sunday Chisolm sent to Schoolba for Gilmer, for whom a gmt.

Manchester, May 5.—The Guar dian of this morning gives great prominence to the following: Infor mation reaches os from a truetwor.- thy quarter, that Austria has deter mined, as a precautionary measure, to occupy Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to present arrangements the movement of troops for that put pose will begin in about a fortnight. The London Times, in its military intelligence, says it is understood that the following regiments have been placed on a list for service a- broad, should their services be re quired. Here follows the names of three regiments of dragoon guards, two of dragoonB, one of hussars, one of lancers, one brigade of horse artil lery, one of garrison artillery, two of field artillery, thirteen separate bat talions of infantry ana twenty-three complete regiments and two battal ions of the rifle brigade.

It is reported that a horrible state of affairs exists throughout that section, and people are wild with exeftement Other hangings will probably follow. Th& War.—Dispatches as late as the 2nd inst., say, that the result of the fight at Kars is unknown. The Rnssian forces concentrated in Mai ready for immersion near the Gulf of Finland and a number of houses have been reserved for troops to be qmr tered in them. Berlin, May 5.—The Tagblott states that Prince Gortschakoff has instructed the Russian representa tives in communicating his circular to the powers, to declare that Rus sia’s only object is to compel Turkey to accept the measures necessary to insure internal peace—such measures to be determined at the proper mo ment, not by Russia, but by the con cert of the powers.

They are concentrated near Silistria and Sbnmla. It is thought the stragetical positions of the Turks are superior to those of the Russians. They have many strong forts and fortified towns. Some of them very formidable, and with any thing like equal forces it will require extraordinary efforts on the part of the Russians to take them. A con siderable portion of the Russian army will have to be detached to protect their rear. The Turkish iron clads can speedily bring sup plies of men, provisions, &c. The Russians are at any time liable to attack in the rear while the Turks have no enimies in the rear and have their own country and many strong holds to fall back upon. London, May 3rd.—Great losses in Russian advance guard from fever and fatigne are reported. Large forces were engaged at Kars. The Russians had 40,000 men. They re port that the Turks were defeated in both fights. This the Turks deny. The loss was heavy on both sides. A Russian vessel loaded with salt was brought to Constantinople. In the House of commons, Lord Elcho offered an amendment to Mr. Glad stone resolutions the purport of which was, that while the House was anxious to promote the welfare of the Christians in Turkey, it condemns the interference of a foreign power by force of arms, in the internal ad ministration of the Ottoman Empire; and that the British government mast be ready, should occasion occur, promply to protect British interests in the East The President will visit Richmond, and Petersburg after the extra ses sion and probably go farther South.
