THE DAILY TIMES.
FRRIDAY, OCTOBER 22.
Facts Connected with the Tariff.
We are assured by our Pennsylvania cotempo
rariee, that tbe resent defeat of tbe Administration
Democracy in that State, is traceable, among
other oauaea, to a general dissatisfaction with the
operations of the present Tariff- The same au
thority informs us, that the returns from the iron
rnaufacturing districts, more than elsewhere, ox -
hibit a falling off in the Democratic vote. The
Bankruptcy and ruin, which for the last twelve
months have swept with desolating violence
through every condition and avenue ot Northern
industry, have found a solution in Pennsylvania in
the fact that the existing tariff affords an insuffi
cient protection to American labor. Something
more than a mere statement of the relation ot cause
and effect is necessary to command our belief in its
existence. Obviously, the inquiry is not imperti
nent, why this result was not earlier developed.
For ten years — from 1846 to ’s6— the duty upon
iron was thirty per cent, ad valorem. During ihat
period hardly a word was heard from the iron
manufacturer on the subject of further protection.
In 1856 it was again reduced to six per cent.,
making the duty 24 per cent. To this objection
was made at the time, as it always is; still the
clamor was faint. Everything went along very
well until last year, when the crash came. Sud
denly, in the twinkling of an eye, it became ap
parent that the Colossus of foreign competition
had prostrated home manufactures. Now all
this is explained simply in this way. During ten
years of prosperity everybody in the North be
came drunk with the exhilaration of amassing a
fancied fortune. In the North-West this riotous j
insanity reached its highest development. Many)
persons, there, thought that light shone upon no ‘
other portion of the earth’s surface. It, accord
ingly, became the theatre for the most extrava
gant and visionary speculation. Men lelt to slug
g> rds the dull rowtine of legitimate trade,and float
ed on the wings of credit through the regions c/
pure chance. Enormous railroad enterprises were
projected and,with no reference to cost, pushed
forward ; everything standing upon a basis of pure
credit, or on grants of public domain at a roman
tic valuation Thousands of tone of iron were
ordered and supplied, the manufacturer taking
railroad bonds or other equally worthier secu
rities for payment. The demand being greater
than the capacity to furnish, ho never thought of
competition, uniil the bubble bursted and revealed
the hollowness of his hopes. The audaci'y with
which he now asks the country to repair the con
sequences of his own reckless improvidence is sel
dom paralleled.
But further, on this subject We hope it is no
evidence of bigotry that wo have eyes ; and in the
exercise of this excelleet organ we may be excus
ed for rejecting the conclusions which pampered
nonsense would have us adopt. In order to make
out his claim to further protection, even upon his
own notion of justice, the iron manufacturer must
show that his pretent distress is chargaeble to the
competition of the foreign product. Thi-, we
think, it will be rather difficult to do. Fortunate
ly figures, always are admirabl corrective of false
philosophy, have come to our aid. A coGrnpo
rary tells us that “the total imports of railroad
iron from Great Britain to the United States, for
the first seven months of 1856, compared w ith those
daring a like space in 1857 and 1858, are as fol
lows:
1856, 1857, 1858,
81,005 tons. 105,613 tons. 5,536 tons.
The above figures prove, indisputably, that not
to excessive importation and, consequently, not to
inadequate protection is the present depressed con
dition of the iron interest chargeable. They prove
also that there is no demand for iron at this lime,
and it cannot be contended that an increase of the
tariff will create a demaud. The coincidence,
in point of time, between the reduced duty and
general bankruptcy, was quiUfsufficient, however,
to mpport an i9ue which contributed to the de
feat of the Pennsylvania Democracy. Thus we go.
Judge Cone’s Letter.
We publish to-day, the letter of this gentleman
to Mr. John A. Tucker, in which is considered the
eligibility of the latter to the office of Judge of the
Pataula Circuit. His opinion is in favor of the
eligibility, but he thinks that tbe law organizing
the Pataula Circuit, and fixing the term of the
present incumbent for a period less than four years,
unconstitutional. He considers, therefore, that
Judge Kiddoo is entitled to hold his seat for the
Constitutional term of four years; and that “no
election can be legally held for his succession,
until the first Monday in January 1860.”
The Fair.
The Atlanta Intelligencer of yesterday says:—
The Fair yesterday opened auspiciously. On en
tering the spacious grounds so well fitted up, the
visitor is forcibly struck with the amount and va
riety of Jive stock on exhibition. Horses of every
kind may be seen, .from the fleet racer to the
heavy draft horse. Choice specimens of cattle
also meet the eye, of a great variety of breeds; the
most liberal contributors in this line are Messrs.
R. Peters of this city and Mr. Watts. The swine
department too is full of interest. Some of the
finest specimens ever exhibited in a Southern Fair
may here be seen. The Goats and Sheep are ra
ther deficient, but there will no doubt be conside
rable additions in this respect this morning. In
the mechanical department, there are many things
rare and interesting to the visitor. A small en
gine is on exhibition, made in Ohio, and driving
a corn mill—working mo6t beautifully* The la
dies department is „well represented. Articles of
domestic manufacture, from the coarsest and
most useful to the ‘fiueet most ornamental,
may be seen in vast profusion. The fruit andlveg
etable department is also well sustained, ihe
fine arts have their representatives in large num
bers. The paintings are most beautiful and ele
gant. There you will find raot striking likeness
es of Ex Gov. Troup, Gov. Joseph E. Brown,
Dr. George D. Phiilips, Col. O. A. Lochrane, B.
H. Hill, and a number of others, the originals of
which are unknown to the writer. Mr. John
Usher has also on exhibition,a specimen of one
of bis“ Quaker City Sewing Machines,” the chea
pest, simplest, and most efficient now in market.
John Quack is also encamped on the grounds
with a choice variety of refreshments, which he
offers to visitors on the most liberal terms.’ Our
space only enables U 9 to take a bare glance at tbe
novelties of the Fair, the most interesting ever
held in Atlanta. A respectable number of visitors
are in attendance. To-day and to-morrow, a
multitude are expected.

FOP. THE TRIES.
Lettor from Hon F- H- Cone*
Gkeenesbop.o, Georgia, } ;
October 18th, 1858. S
To John A. Tucker, Esq.,
I have received your letter asking my opinion i
as to your eligibility as a candidate for the office ;
of Judge of the Superior Courts of the Pataula i
Circuit, at the election to fe held on the first !
Monday in January next. The facts 1 understand
from your letter to tie these : You are member
of the Senate- your term of service will not ex
pire until ihe first of October 1809. Ihe term oi
the present incumbent expires on <he first Mon
day in October 1859.
The question arises upon the eleventh section of
the first article o! *.he Constitution.
That section, so far es it has any bearing upon
the question, is in the following words: “No per
son holding any military commission or other ap
pointrr.ent, having any emolument or compensa
tion annexed theieto, under this State or the United
States, or either of them, (except Justices of the
Inferior Courts, Junices of the Poace and officers
of the Militia,) ** * shall have.a seal in either
branch of the General Assemb v, nor shall any
Senator or Representative be elected to any office
or appointment by the legislature, having any
emoluments or compensation annexed thereto,
during the time for which he shall have been elec*
ted, with the above exceptions, unless he shall de
cline accepting his seat by notice to the Executive
within twenty days after he shad have been elect
ed, nor similarly member, after having taken his
seat, be eligible to snv of the aforesaid offices or
appointments during the time for which he shall
have been elected.'’
The Constitution of 1777 which was framed
within less than one year after the Declaration of ;
Independence, contains the following provision !
upon this subject:
“No person bearing any post of profit under this ;
State, or any person beating any military com- !
mission under this or any other State or States, \
shall be elected a Representative. And if any j
Representative shall be appointed to any place of !
profit or military commission which he shall accept j
his seat shaP immediately become vacant, and he ;
; shall be incapable ot re-election whilst holding
j such office” (Watkins* Digest, 10,11.)
The Constitution of 1789, contains a very similar
! provision, (Watkins’ Digest, 26.)
These provisions of these several Constitutions,
show very clearly that the people of Georgia never
intended that any member of the Legislature
should at any time hold an office ofemolument or
compensation, and that is the sole object ot these
provisions, and so far as 1 know, the practice of
the Government has been strictly in accordance
withthese provisions.
If the question was submitted to me whether a ‘
member of the Legislature can hold the office of
Judge of the Superior Court, I should unhesitating
ly answer, that he could not. But that is not the
question presented in your letter. If you are elec
ted, you will not hold the office—you will not be
a Judge of the Superior Court—you will not pos
sess any of the functions nor discharge any of the
duties of that office, nor receive any of its emolu
ments, until after your term of service as a mem
ber of the Legislature expires.
The present incumbent, (as you say) is entitled
to hold the office until the first of October 1859.
You are elected as his successor, you cannot be
Judge of the Superior Court until his time expires.
You have then ceased to be a member of the
Legislature You are then e'igible, and my opin
ion is, that if you are eligible at the time you be
come Judge— at the time that you assume the du
ties of the office; it is all that the Constitution re
quires.
In the 11th section, the word holding is used,
showing that in ordor to disqualify a person from
taking his seat as a member of the Lsgislature, he
must bo in the possession of the office, in the en
joyment of its emoluments.
The latter part of the same section says; “ Nor
shall any member, after having taken his seat, be
eligible to any of the aforesaid offices or appoint
ments during the time for which he shall have been
elected.” What is the meaning of these words,
“eligible to any of the aforesaid offices]” clearly,
shall not be eligible to hold any of the aforesaid
offices, and giving the words this meaning, is in
harmony with the previous part of the section—
and this construction fully effectuates the intention
of the framers of the Constitution by excluding
from the Legislature, all persons who hold offices
of emolument.
The framers of the constitution never contem
plated the idea of electing Judges of the Superior
Court or other officers, for a long period previous
to their entering upon the duties of their office.
The necessity for this has grown mainly out of
the Act of 1856, which declares that the elections
for Judges of the Superior Courts shall be held on
the first Monday in January. The term of ser
vice of many of our Judges expires in November
and in order to prevent a vancaney their succes
sors must be elected on the January previous, so
that a person is frequently elected some ten months
previous to the time when his term of service com
mences.
During this time and previous to his entering
upon the duties of his office, I am ot opinion that
he is not a person holding office within the mean
ing of this Section of the Constitution. My opin
ion is that his elegibility depends not upon the
t.me of his election, but upon the time of his enter
ing upon the duties of his office. 1 am therefore
of opinion that as you cannot enter upon the du
ties of Judge of the Superior Coutfs of the Pataula
Circait, until after your term of service as a mem
ber of the Senate ehall have expired, that you are
constitutionally eligible as a candidate for that of
fice at the election to be held in January next.
But there is another question connected with
this matter, which in my opinion renders it wholly
unnecessary to decide the question, whether you
are eligible or uot. In looking at the Act or
ganizing the Pataula Circuit (Laws of 1855 and
’56, page 216) it is provided by the 2nd section of
the Act that an election lor a Judge of the Supe
rior Court for said District, shall be held on the
first Monday in April next (1856) and that he
, shall hold his office from his qualification, and for
I three years after the first Monday in October next,
I (1856) —this makes the term of service about three
| years and six months.
j Now the first section of tbe third article ot the
1 Constitution declares as follows “The Judges o f
the Superior Court shall be elected for the term of
four years, and shall continue in office until their
successors shall be elected and qualified.”
The Legislature possessed no power whatever to
alter this term of tervice, the Constitution has
placed it entirely beyond their control. If th*y
can prescribe the term of service of a Judge to be
three years and six months, they can preecribeone
year, or any number of years. lam therefore of
opinion that the present incumbent is entitled to
hold his seat for the period of four years, which I
supp w will expire in the month of April 1860, and
that no election can be legally held for his suc
cessor until ihe first Meuday in January 1860.
Io looking tt tbe Aot organUing the Tallapoow
Circuit, tbe fifth section prescribes that au election
shall be held for a Judge of the Superior Court of
said District, on the first Monday in January next
(1857) who shall hold bis office uotii the first Mon
day ia October 1359—that is that he shall hold it
for about the term of two years and nine months.
Now the Legislature possessed no power to fix
any time during whieli a Judge shall hold his office*
other than that prescribed by tbe Constitution, four
years. The present incumbent therefore of this
Circuit is entitled to hold bis office until January
1861, and no election can legally be held for bis
successor until January of that year.
I make these remarks in relation to the Talla
poosa Circuit because I have been written to in re
lation to that Circuit, and I wish this letter to be
considered as an answer to all who have written
me upon the subject.

From Russia-
it affords us pleasure to state that, by a
letter from Hon. F. W. Picketts, our Min
ister at the Russian Court, we learn that
both himself, the members of the legation,
and his family, wore well,ami much pleas
ed with their * xperience (thus far) of life
in St. Peter- Jttrg.
We take the liberty of copying a few
observations of general importance :
“The interests of the two Governments
(the Russian and American) are becoming
daily more intimate. Our increasing settle
ments and trade in California and on the
Pacific are bringing us into intercourse with
Russian possessions on the Amour river
and the Asiatic coast, as well as with their
possessions in America. The trade ot the
Amour river is immense, something like
$530,000,000 a year, and growing very rap
idly. I have consuls under rny jurisdiction
through Asia as well as in Europe, and
their reports and accounts to me bring me
into official communication with a iarge
portion of the globe. I had no idea that
the actual business o( this office was as
extensive and important as it is. We have
large American merchant houses in this
city ; and American ships at Cronstadt are
more numerous than those ot any other
nation except Great Britain. Thirteen
ships arrived this season direct from Char
leston and New’ Orleans, loaded with cot
ton, without having touched at Liverpool
at all, as has heretofore been the case.-
The direct trade must increase every year.
Manufactures in cotton are increasing im
mensely about Moscow ; and one may see
loads of Cotton here every day in the
streets, passing to the railroad for that
point.”— Edgefield Advertiser.
California Grapes.
California is to become a great wine-pro
ducing country— both its soil and climate
being admirably adapted to the growth of
the vine, of which it possesses a number of
excellent native varieties.
The Alta California of the 13th ult., says
that the wines of California are rapidly
rising to an important place in the com
merce of the State.
“The grape (it says) has a great delicacy
of flavor, which is affected by the slightest
variety in soil, so that according to the
common taik of wine growers in Europe, no
two vineyards produce wines of precisely
the same taste. And yet there is such a
general resemblance between ihe wines of
the different wine-growing countries that
where the country is mentioned the general
characteristics are known, provided they
have been well managed. But not so iti
California. The wines of Sonora, San
Luts Ouispo, Los Angelos and San Diego
differ widely from each other; and each
place can be made to produce numerous
vaiietiesof its own. In a few years we
shall have wines from the mining counties
from Shasta to Tuolumne, and these again
will produce new varieties, and all of them
excellent. The Sonora Herald of the 11th
inst. says, “So abundant is the grape crop
of this county getting to be, that the culti
vators will shortly be compelled, lor want
of a market for their fruit, to turn their at
tention to the manufacture of wine.”
So, in addition to the treasure list, the
California steamers will, after a few years,
bring us a “wine list.”
The Senate Secured for the Opposi-
T ion. —Very unexpectedly to both parties,
the New York Senatorial district has gone
lor the Opposition. We have received in
telligence that the the Democratic candidate
William 11. Welsh, the late Speaker of the
Senate, the favorite of Mr. Buchanan, and
his Secretary for a time while he was
Minister to London, has been defeated by
Daniel Kraber, the Opposition candidate by
one hundred majority. This, if true, astfe
believe it to be, secures the Senate to the
Opposition, even without the Northumber
land District, which is still in doubt. The
Opposition thus have both branches of the
Legislature.— Philadelphia Bulletin.
The Comet’s Curved Tail. —A corres*
pondent yesterday asked an explanation of
the cause of the curved appearance of the
comet’s caudal appendage. We did not
feel qualified to answer, although we thought
it had as good a right to curl its tail as a
cat, or have a kink in it as a pig. But
another correspondent, who does speak ex
cathedra from the tower of an astronomical
observatory, nrd acknowledges himself a
lay member of the scientific school, says the
comet is not within the ulterior range in
which the earth exerts an attractive influ
ence ; that the part facing the sun is of
concave form, from which the solar rays
are reflected in a direct line to their source,
but the velocity with which the comet is
travelling from north to south necessarily
causes the curve on account of the differ
ence of time it takes the different reflected
angles oflight to reach our vision, and that
if the comet were to come to a dead halt
where it now is. the tail would, in the course
of time, become as straight as a loon’s leg.
We must confess this explanation is a
“whortleberry above our persimmons,” and
therefore we refer it to the watchmen of
the night who are stationed on the “light
houses of ths Journal
Telegraphic.

contains 2,475 acres, with a large proportion ot
fresh and Hammock land. Th re are on the plan
tation 1,400 acres cleared, and in a fine state >1
cultivation, thoroughly drained, with a large num
ber of well located ditches. Hie dwelling is
commodious, having 6 large rooms, neatly finish
ed.and is situated withiu the corporate limits of
Giennville, convenient to the Colleges and
Churches. Ihe out houses are in good repair and
sufficient for the accommodation ot 100 negroes
• On th s place, are two new gin houses, one ol
I which is propelled by water power, to which is
attached a grist mill, all in good order.
Lying broadside this place ismv other planta
tion, recently owned by Col. W. II- Owens, con
taining 901 acres. The dwelling, out houses, gin
house and screw ate all new and well finished,
