Tan PassiDXirr's Masseur, according to
the telegraphio synopsis sent us, appesrs
to ba a studied effort to construct a plat
form for the Bepnblioan party in 1870, or
for a Grant party aiming at a third term.
Its compromising attempt to reconcile the
dlffemncea in the party on the ounenoy
question, and its omission to take a de
cided stand in reference to other impor
tant questions of the day, appear to us to
have this aignificenoe.
Tu Georgia Negro Convention, called
to consider the question of
I nothing but pass reaolu-
[ of "outrages," and ap.
pointing^^^Euittee to try and hunt np
some and re^wsQabcm to Congress. This
was the prime intention from the start.
K evolutions eondemnlnsioemigration from
Georgia were voted downTb^dthen reso
lutions favoring emigration wsra-^defeat
ed. A resolution to the effect thatW e men from borrowing, and if it eannot
members of the Convention should emL compel owners of money to loan it at any
grate would have been defeated by »Walipulnted low prioe, obviously the publio
CUVET.
A number of our Georgia exchanges are
discussing the propriety of the Legisla
ture re-enacting (he old usury lava As
the law formerly, stoqd, and .as some of
thcf pteae want it restond, the MM,eC la-
tercet whs arbitrarily Axed at T percent.,
and any excess was unlawful and voidable,
As it stands now, all eeutsaoU not speci
fying the rate of interest bear 7 per asm.
per annum, but the parties may, by writ
ten contract, lawfully agree upon any oth
er rata of interest.
We are in favor of letting the law stand
as it is. A man’s money is his property,
and be should be allowed to sell it at the
market price, ahioh is “what it will
bring, if the holders of other property are
allowed to do the same thing. We cannot
distinguish between usury and sumptuary
Jaws. If the State undertakes to fix the
rate of interest, determining thst any
higher rate is sinful or against publio pol-
toy, why not fix the price of bread in the’
same way I Both are acquired or pro
duced by labor, both ara regelated in
price by the lew of supply and demand,
end if one is mure a necessity of life than
tbe other, it is bread. When we can be
convinced of the propriety of compelling
a mao by law to sell oorn at fifty cents a
bushel or not sell it at all, we can better
apprehend the justice of forcing a mac to
loan his money at 7 per cent, interest or
not loan it at all.
It is consonant with publio polioy thst
money should be loaned, not hoarded,
Therefore laws whioh favor the hoarding
of it must be pernicious. Money will
not be loaned in Georgia, io our present
condition, at 7 per cent. If tbe attempt
is made, tbe law will be evaded, ss it
always was evaded before tha usury laws
were repealed. If the rate of interest
generally charged is greater now then it
was before the repeal (especially greater
than the ante-war rates), the reason*ia
because thereaare so many more people
seeking t(^borrow, and fewer who have
money to lend. Tbe.lsw of supply and
demand comes in here and maintains its
inexorable sway. And if more than 7
per oent. has to be paid, it is better thst
it should be paid In oomplianoe with
than in violation of law.
We believe borrowing to ba an evil, but
if people ere determined to borrow, any
law restraining them partakes of a sump
tnary character, as much so as a law pro
hibiting men from drinking liquor or
obewing tobsooo. The only perceptible
effect of the old usury laws re-enacted
would be to restrain sums men from bor
rowing, because the law oould not oompol
any men to lend at a stated prioe. A law
making over 7 per oent. usury would re
tire from tbe market a very large propor
tion of the money now held for this pur
pose. It would then, increase, instead of
reduoing, the rate of interest which bor
rowers have tu pay, because the demand
would be greater if the supply ware di
minished. If the law cannot prohibit

To the Bithop and member! of the North
Georgia Conferente:
unanimous vote.
A Columbia correspondent of tbe —< •-*
Washington Bepubbean states that Gover
nor Moses ran for the Legislature in two
counties, in the late eleotion in Booth
Caroline; that in Hichland he ran on the
Chamberlain tioket and was beaten, and
in Sumter he ran on the Greene tioket and
waa beaten. He appears to have been a
pretty well beaten mau—first by his undi
vided party in State Convention, and then
by each wing of it in a county contest.
But the misfortune is that while the Bsd-
ioala of South Carolina repudiated Moses
on any ticket, they have given power to
men who will continue his policy. They
were told that they must “unload," and
they oast out Moses, but they are go
ing to Joppa, nevertheless, and he will
ge to the same place if he cau find any
fish or plank to keep him from going to
the bottom.
P-dioy in to encourage the throwing of as
®>Wk money as possible on the market,
and insthis way, by increasing the supply,
lessen the • demand and lower the rate.
We express our views erudely but deci- pqi itasnt feature in our work,
dedly. We are L-> favor of letting thejs
remain as it is.
Dsab Beams**-My absence from
your annuel session must fie much more
paMWtoHuthanltHEtotoyou. To
me, so sc* you in conference is a revival
of precious memories pant, while io you
it oould only be a premonition of tbe ssd
conviction that than is ne style of natu
ral life but what must wear put. See it
iu me—(or sixty-seven years, to preach
twice a day, if at all needful, was only an
enlargement of a delightful privilege.
Mow, to preach once a woek is about all
I feel able to undertake, and this only in
somebody else's place. Gone down to a
point where I am afraid to put ont ap
pointments on my own account. But
when I get at it, my friends fay there is
little or nothing miseing of me but my
voice, and that is still strong enough to be
heard in any space in which I bare tried
it. Preaching is still to me as it
has always been—food to my sonl.
Evan now, it is health and life. I often
feel after preaobing on Sunday, as if
there was a recuperation in all the physi
cal springs of life, which lasts until Tues
day, when tho oatsrral affection begins to
crush my life's resisting power. My phy
sicians say there is but little, if suy, asth-
in slf my trouble in coughing and
breathing. It is all the effect of this
ehronio catarrh. Chronio it is, for I can-
not remember a day whan I could not dis-
tiuotly say I was laboring under a cold.
There is nothing in it that admonishes me
of my approaching dissolution, but the
difficulty of breathing always obstructed
at times seems as if it will be cut off. But
to him that is ready to die, sudden death
is perhaps his greatest earthly mercy. I
leave all this in the hands of my Heavenly
Father. Most of the preaching I havo
done this year has been within your con
ference, on account of my “duushine
home.” My mind continues, in as far as
my consciousness goes, to work ss well,
and as ready ss in sny period of my life.
This is wonderful any how. It is a great
mercy that God should so construct us
that tbe mysterious mechanism called mind
should be free to work in its native vigor
after the outward man is evidently perish
ing. It is codhlusive proof of gn inward
man thaV may be renewed day by day. As
I believe I told you in Atlanta, so I still
say to you all, there is no natural* necessi
ty that tbe mind should wane into Recond
childhood, because the mortal scaffolding
of muiole and bones, with which this im
material in mortality is enclosed in its de
veloping age, most dwindle baok to dust
again. No, verily, brethren, there is no
reason why the mind should die out or
even die down while the brain romains in
a natural state. Do not prepare for
drivelling old ago by a false assumption
that it must come. I tel] you it is not s
natural necessity. Live temperately; take
rest naturally and regularly ; apply your
mental elaborations to one main veiu of
thinking, for which theology offers the
richest and best supply of mental fare
ever provided for ils entertainment.
There is in its inherent resources
a mind-vitalising energy, which
provides against mental decay. I
am more than three-quarters into my
ninetieth year, and I am not conscious of
any Change in this my noblest nature.
My animal springs ran lower, but my
mental tides ebb and flow upon the same
plane. The only difference I perceivo is
that the ripe fruits of sound menial cul
ture grow rioher from tbe enriohod soil of
a well kept mind.
If it is published, ss I prayed it might
be, your minds will be directed to the
changes made in our ministerial economy.
It remtes mainly to the absolute necessity
there is for an administrative ministry.
It is not enough that we should Dioxide
able ministers pdpit* We must 1
have diligent nwdfs in the field. The

Always the chief, it is Bow (since its ab-
aorptio* of “Every Satarday”) the only
scleotio weekly of the oonntry. What
distinguishes it is the foot that it presents
inexpensively, considering its three and a
quarter thousand large page* of reading
matter a year, with freshness, owing to
tbe frequency of ils issue, and with a sat
isfactory completeness attempted by no
other publication whatever, tha ablest
essays and reviews, tbe beet aerial and
short stories, tha finest sketches and
poems, and tbe moat valuable biographi
cal, historical, scientific and political in
formation from the entire body of foreign
periodical literature.
It is therefore invaluable to Ameriean
readers as tha only thorough as well as
fresh compilation of a generally inacces
sible but indispensable current literature;
generally*inaecessible because of its great
bulk and oost; indispensable because it
embraces the productions of the ablest
living writers in science, fiction, poetry,
history, biography, politics, theology,
philosophy, criticism and art.

On Thursday a very touching and im
pressive letter from the venerable Dr. L.
Pieros was read to the Conference. We
oopy it elsewhere. It was referred to a
special committee, consisting of Beve.
Jesse Boring, J. E. Evans, end Hon. E.
H. Pottle. Bev. W. Watkin Hicks asked
4to be transferred to tbe Florida Confer
ence. The committee on the Bible oause
reported $114,.11)4 sent on aooonnt of the
Bible, 80,058 volumes reoeived, 4,448 des
titute families supplied, 3,2)12 individuals
supplied, and 252 Sunday and other
schools supplied. Tbe committee on Me
moirs reported thst not a single death had
ocourred among tha ministers of the Con
ference during the past year. Several
marriages were reported; Several more
votes were reoeived on the amendment
of tbe Discipline respecting intoxicating
liquors, and the count now stands—fur
tbe amendment 70, against it 71. We
oondense from the oorrespondouce of the
Atlanta Constitution.
—It is now ascertained that the new
Demooratio code of Georgia, as lately
amended, contains a provision designed
to serve the same purpose as the Texes
law, to whioh we have called attention.
Under it a black man may be taken forci
bly from tho county of his resideuoe, and
sold iuto involuntary slavery, or hired
(which is the same thing) in another or
remote oounty of the State, while the
K ard necessary for bis safe-keeping will

and the duration of his servitude may be
prolonged indefinitely.—llontg. Journal.
This has not been “ascertained'
Georgia yet. Under the laws of this State
a convict may be hired, not os s man, but
as a felon, to work for the State instead of
being a dead expeuse to it. The law
makes no distinction between “blaok'’
and white men. They work aide by aide
for the same offences. Georgia bss never
been guilty of the folly and crime of per
mitting oriiniuola to run at large simply
because their imprisonment would be ex
pensive to her. She confines or binds
them until trial, and then puts them to
work it they are fouud guilty. A man is
no more a slave working for the State
than he is while oonfined in idleness in
the prisons of the State. In both instan
ces he is deprived of his liberty, as he
should be. Has the State Journal never
yet “ascertained" that even the late
Amendments of the Federal Constitution

Saturday, nth.—In the Senate, Mr. Do
reen entered a long protest against the
notion of yesterday re-seating Mr. Martin
as Senator. It was allowed to go on tho
journals, though a number of Senators
opposed it. Mr. Hamiltou introduced a

the following : To authorize Probate
Judges to order elections in their respec
tive oonntics on the question of allowing

upon Jands; to better protect freight and
baggage on railroad cars and steamboats.
All the above wen referred. Mr. Crews
introduced a bill for the relief of the
minor ohildren of the late Council Ste
phenson, of Barbour county, whioh was

—Mr. T. F. Smith, editor and proprie
tor of tho Brunswick Appeal, wakes oom-
plaint of the conduct of tbe authorities
of that city in regard to some forged cur
rency uf Brunswick held by bim. He
states that the city contracted with him
to redeem all of its circulation whioh he
might take up; that he took in over $!>,
000 of the curranoy, and then discovered
that $2,734 of it was forged. It is tbe
forged part which the city refuses to re
deem. Mr. Smith has resigned as a
member of the City Counoil, because that
body would not submit to a vote of tho
people the question of redemption of the
forged currency held by bim.

Major A. 11. Calhoun It was our
pleasure on last Friday evening to wit*
ness the closing exercises of the above
named institution, presided over by the
experienced and efficient Principal, Prof.
Reeves, assisted by his accomplished and
unwearied assistant, Miss Octavia Reeves.
The exercises consisted of tho recital
of poems, by the misses, compositions by
the girls aud young ladies, and deelama
tion by tbe boys and young gentlemoo.
It would be invidious to discriminate,
while all did so well. Suffice it te say
that they all manifested good native in
telligence, with diligent and correct cul
ture. One of the notioeable features of
the exercises was the system and good
order observed, affording evidence of
good discipline and a well regulated
sohool. We were surprised and gratified
at the conclusion of the interesting ex
ercises to learn from the Principal that
his sohool has been so full during bis fall
term, numbering a? high as seventy
pupils. We were also surprised to leurn
from the Principal of this sohool that
they had not devoted more time than waa
necessary to exercise, and improve their
pupils in tbe important branches of
declamation and composition—it being
their deaire rather to promote the solid
improvement .of the school than to muke
a show. Mr. Reeves expresses a groat
aversion to that humbuggery aud parade
with whioh the world at this time is filled,
