Tux Cincinnati Price Current esti mates stocks of provisions in that city on May 1st as follows : Pork, 12,000 bar rels ; lird, 12,400 tieross ; bulk meats, shoulders and sides, 19,300,000 pounds, and bams, 11,685,000 pounds. Tus briefest and most significant ex pression of opinion regarding the Presi dent's polioy is that of ex-Gongressman Busk, of Wisconsin. He says: “I—ah— um—utnph — ahem — um —m—m—wro." He is a candidate for 8ergeant-at-Arms of the Federal Senate. Tbr Tribune, an authority in aroba- ology, confidently expects that Dr. Hchliomann, on his return to this oountry in the summer, will at ouow set about making excavations in some Western mound, in the hope of digging out a gen uine Old Line Whig. Tan order consolidating the existing fifty-eight pension agencies hss been signed by Mr. Hayes. The number of agenoies to be retained is eighteen. The States of South Carolina,Georgia,Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,Louisiana and Texas have been consolidated in one pension district, with the agency at New Orleans. Or the Lake Shore Hoad last week, a special train with the Vanderbilts, Au gustus Scholl and others, ran 183 miles in two hours and forty-eight minutes—-the highest rate of speed, for a long run, that was ever made in America. At on* time, over the Canada Southern, sixty miles was made in fifty-nine minutes. A thief entered the residence of Rev. Arthur W. Milby at Harrington,Delaware, last week and stole from a tin box a fifty dollar note. The box contained three fifty dollar notes and a five dollar bill, but the thief was very considerate to take but one of the bills. He left hia oard on which he wrote “1 take with me the front door key so that I shall have lesa trouble when I oall again.” Nxw Yoke cotton dealer* are attempt ing to devise some plan to atop the ex tensive stealing of cotton in that city The statement is made that ten thousand bales are stolen annually. As a conse quence buyers are beginning to avoid that market aod the ootton trade of the oity is being injured. This heavy stealage ia the result of petty thefts by weighers, samp lers and truoksmen. The loss on ootton in New York is from 6 to 7 per cent, while in Liverpool it is only 4 to 5 per eent. Gov. Bbowr Justly Tbxatio.—People in this section have no feeling to ex-Gov. J. E. Brown, save indifference or hatred, for he endeavored to have murdered, be fore a military eourt, some of our very best young men. Henoe it will be with pleasure that they will read an artiole this morning cauterising “Joey B.," who is so “devilish sly,” for hia unoalled for attack on Senator Gordon. The document ia worth a perusal, and will be enjoyed be cause of its truthfulness and biting sar casm. Every thrust strikes home. Jay Gould’s Tribune says: “The ap pointment of George H. Butler to be a temporary special agent of the Postoffloe Department, for the purpose of reporting on what routes mail servioe ought to be established, waa made by Postmaster General Key without consultation with th* President or any member of the Cab inet The appointment was given on the verbal recommendation of Gen. B. F. Butler and Senator Spencer, of Alabama, and on written requests by Senator Dor sey, of Arkansas; S. S. Cox, of New York, and Milton Sayler, of Ohio.” A BLEiPiNo cab controversy, involving several hundred thousand dollars, is oc cupying the attention of the Ohanoery Court at Louisville. Some years ago the Paine Sleeping Car Line was consolidated with the Pullman, Kimball and Bsmsey Company, under the title Pullman South ern Oar Company. Suit is now instituted by Paine and others, who olaim that for their assets they were to reoeive §400,000 in stook of the new oonoem, but have *•4® only §275,000. The aotiou is to reeover this balanoe and also some dividends said to be doe. The Pullman Southern Oar Company olaim Paine *t *1. agreed to put thsir oars in repair when sold, but having failed, they owe them §15,000, for which they ask judg ment. The record of the case oooupim several thousand peg**, and numerous prominent lawyer* are engaged in the CAUGHT OCT AT FIRST BOUNCE. Even the Press agent at Washington, who was so careful the other day to tele graph everything but the real reason, is now convinced the true cause of Hayes postponing the convening of Congress waa for no other purpose than a renewed and continued attempt to induce the House to eleet a Republican Spoaker. We believed this all the while, and so ex pressed ourselves on the night the proo lamatlon was issued. Every artifiee is to be triad on the Demoeratie Congressmen, and oflloes are to be bestowed where they will do the most good. It is shameful, we know, and a virtual denial on all the generous promises made of civil service reform, but nevertheless it is to be done. Bribery Is to be the mesas sought. The slates are all altered, and influential Demoorats can obtain oflloes if their Congressmen, who make the rec ommendations, will agree to support a Re. publioau Speaker. If any one does so vote hi* political doom will be sounded forever. Even a mangy cur would snarl at him in utter disgust. The South oan not afford to sell out to Mr. Hayes for the benefit of a few individuals who are to be gratified with offloe. Mr. Hayes proclaims it publioly that the man who receives offloe from him must support his polioy, which is that of Republicanism, and aid in eleoting a Republican Spoaker of the House. What Democrat is ready to aid him on these conditions ? Would it not be supreme folly for Democracy to yield moat important advantage, when, by holding it an easy viotory is in aig t, and oan bo readily won ? HATER' PROPOSED TRIP SOUTH. Mr. Hayes may mean right, but his mind has been warped by bo long con- neotion-with Republicanism that ho has adopted the idea of personal government whioh eight years of Grantism has taught, and of whioh be cannot bo disa bused. He has some kind of n visionary notion that bo, a fraudulent President, has the power to undo what fears of the Demooratio party oansed him to have ac complished in South Carolina and Louisi ana. Just now the wholo bent of this man’s mind is directed to decting a lte- publiban Speaker of the Hoiibo of Repre sentatives. Hia Cabinet is with him on this aubjoot, even the so-called Democrat, Key. Gaining this ond to them would be the crowning triumph of the administration. To secure the object they moan to allow the army to suffer and the families of naval offloers to starve. An ex-Seoretary squandered the monoy Congress appro priated for the salaries of seamen, and now the Government considers their dis tress as nothing, so the House is captured by threatening and bribery and oajoliug Demooratio members. Mr. Hayes even signifies bis graoious wish to visit the South shortly, and expresses the deter mination to gratify that royal desire. This may have postponed the calling of Congress. He desires the world to see the wonderful effeot of hiB imagined at tractive magnetism. There ia no law against Presidential junketing, but this proposed journey oan do no possible good, oannot gain a single support nor the good will of a single soul, and smacks altogether too muoh of royal ways to suit the people. The Bouth cannot forget thus early. Her people are fully aware of the mode and means by whioh ho bo- oame President de facto. They were oheated openly by the creatures wbeuoo Mr. Haysa reoeivod his powor. They know, too, what his objeot is, and havo a oontempt for the motive and the man who oonceived it. Prinoes may, with propriety, make these grand tours about their domains, and the exhibition of the royal person increases their popularity and fealty of the subjects, but there is no personality in a free government which should need suoh dovices to strengthen the power. Hayes should g -1 his authority from the people, not they from him. How long has it been sinoe his Highness sum moned the legally elected Governor of South Caroliua to Washington to de termine whether that Governor should be continued to rule? Now, under the as sumption that he has granted favors to the South he maps out a triumphal procession in this aeotion that he may receive the thanks and blessings of a grateful people, and their representatives will voto for the man he nominates as Speaker of the House. He might as well stay at home. On visiting the South he will be treated as any other distinguished mao, remarka ble for virtue or crime; the people would dock to aee him as they would to a bang- lug or a oirous, but as for gaining politi cal influence or turning Demoorats into Republicans he might as well remain in the White House and drink water with Mrs. Hayes and Fred Donglass. THE HEN WHO HADE THE PRES ENT CONSTITUTION. We give the names of tho leading apir- ita in making tho presont Constitution. Will any one havo tho cheekueas and shamelesaneas to say they were the choioe of the people of Georgia? Can Georgians really feel that an instrument of their making ia good enough for them? Here is the list. Read it and honor the states men named, if you believe them such, by voting against holding a convention with the Radicals. It is suoh a lovely set to admire and honor. But here ia the list: Colored Statesmen—Aaron Alpeoria Bradley, James Stewart, Mosea H. Bent ley, W. H. D. Reynolds, Tunis G. Camp bell, W. A. Golding, Philip Joiner, Ben jamin Sykes, W. H. Joiner, Bobert Alex ander, John Whittaker, Bobert Lumpkin, Jeaae Dinkins, George Lindon, Bobert Whitehead, Maloolm Cliaborne, S. W. Beard, Alexander Stone, Robert Crum ley, George Wallaoe, William H. Harrison, Daniel Palmer, 8. A. Cobb, Isaao Anderson, Van Jones, J. O. Casey, John S. Coslin, William Gilford, Sam Williams, Lewis Pope. White Statesmen.—Dick Whitely, R. B. Bullock, Ben Conley, Foster Blodgett, J. E. Bryant, John Neal, C. H. Prinoe, Sam Cove, William Griffin, Mose Potts, Tom Spear, Posey Maddox, G. W. Ash- burne, J. G. Maul, 8. T. W. Milner, W. H. Hoist, Bill Whitfield, A. T. Akerman, J. McWhorter, J. L. Dunning, J. H. Flynn, J. R. Parrott. U these were not stateemen, then in wbat gutter or penitentiary will you find them ? The above roll ought to cause any anti- oonventionist to change tactics and vote for men to go to a Georgia Convention, who are platforms in themselves, and for holding a Convention that will frame Oonatitntion that will honor, benefit and bless our Stale. 1R IT FEEJORY* Several merchants have oomplaiaed to us lstsly regarding the small amounts re turned by other merohents as quarter sales. The eomplainaats think great in justice is done them by being foroed to pay a tax on their full amount while others sseaps with a tax on one-fourth or one- balf of tbeir salee. We have been oited to several merchants who olaim and are supposed to sell annually from §100,000 to §150,000, returning for the quarter ending Msroh 31, sums ranging from §10,000 to §12,000 as all they have dis posed of. Other merohants who are supposed to be doing a prosperous busi ness return §600 to §800 as their quarter sales, hardly enough to pay the aotual ex penses of conducting tbeir business, and this too for the qusrter when the largest sales arc known to be made. Several years ago Oounoil stirred up some merohants about their returus, but they were exoused because they said they only returned eash sales. Oounoil then ordered an affidavit or oath attaohed to each return whioh the merohaut signed when be made his return. This affidavit or oath states that “all sales for eash or on credit are returned.” Now when merohaut signs suoh an affi davit and he knows that he has not made a oorreot return, he is guilty of something. Ia it perjury ? We learn that the Finanoe Committee of the City Conneil has refused to allow the returns of some merchants, and made them inorease the amount, hot this course does not correet the evil as tho next returns aro similarly short. Great injustice is done those merohants who give oorreot returns to allow these whioh are false. The burden of taxation is borne by the few, and these few are not able to eompete with their neighbors who are free from taxation. If these faota are true and our inform ant says the Treasurer’s books will bear him out in bis assertions, we think something ought to be done in the prem ises, for a merchant who will falsely swear abont his sales to save a few dollars of taxation,ia not too honest to turn a nimble penny by a manipnlation of his weights and measures, and the people ought to know the faota. W* would suggest that the City Council order the Treasurer to have published each quarter the returns of sales made, giving the names of each merohaut or firm, and the amount returned. This oonrse, if panned, will enlighten the peo> pie, if it don't oorreot the evil, and we think our people ought to know how some people make §20,000 a year when their total sales amount to bat little more than that sum. Something ought to be done and we hope our oity fathen at their next meeting will take the ball by the horns, end give him a good shaking. UOL. NOTT*AND THE COLLECTOR- SHIH OF THI* DISTRICT. It is rumored that tbs friends of Col. R. L. Mott have been urging his Fraudu- lency to give him the position of Colleo tor of Iotornal Revenue for this distriot. Another rumor says that his Frsudulenoy won’t turn out the present Oolleetor. This is not our fight, and wo do not oars mnoh who is Colleotor. Mr. Clark, the present inonmbent, gives satisfaction as far as we Can learn, but he is a carpet-bagger, and Mr. Hayes' Southern polioy said that all the offices in the South were to be given to natives, when a good man eonld be found. But we have never had muoh faith in the “Southern Polioy," and do not expeot to see it work out aooording to the bill, exoept in suoh oases where Mr. Hayes and his advisers find it speoially to their interest. Aooording to the “polioy” we think Col. Mott would be the man. He is a 1 tiva,” and competent. He was an out spoken Union man all during the war, and sinoe has been a persistent Republi oan. We do not think be ever held an offloe, exoept one given him by a Demo oratio Governor, whioh we kioked up about, as we don’t believe in Demoorats giving offloe to Republicans, when there are plenty of Demoorats waiting and anxious. While we have but little love or sympathy for him politically, and have pitobed into him heretofore and expect to do bo in future, whenever we oonsider him politically, yet we have nothing against him personally. Hs is a good oitizen, worthy of any trust, and compe tent to fill any position he would assume. Col. Mott ia one of the few leading Repnblioans in Georgia who bava not lost tho respeot of the oommunity iu whioh he lives, by adopting Republican ism. He has never been one of those offioe-seeking fellows who delight iu doing all they oan to create discord aod strife. If “to the viotors belong the spoils’' bo the “policy” of Mr. Hayes, we think. Col. Mott ought to get any Federal offloe in the State that h* desires, for surely he has been ardent enough in his works. Onr people would be satis fied with his appointment, for we all know he would not use his offloe to oppress the people or to rob the Government. We do not think Col. Mott has any chanoe of auooess. Mr. Hayes will not turn out iny carpet-bagger to make way for a native, unless he is forced to do so by the carpet-bagger’s inoompetenoy, and as Mr. Clarke is competent and is guilty of nothing but being a carpet-bagger, we expect he will be the Colleotor of this Distriot until we gat Mr. Tilden in, and then we will have a good Demoorat. Siobxtabt Events thinks that there will be no time, if Congress docs net meet until Oetober, to take proper aetion in regard to representation at the great French Exposition of 1878. It was pro posed to appoint five Commissioners, and to appropriate §300,000, to seenre a cred itable exhibit of Ameriean art and indus tries at Faria. If anything ia dona, it should b* done wall, and not after th* style in whioh we were represented at Vienna. MR CONTENTION. Mr. Editor: Whilst I am strongly and deoidedly in favor of bolding a conven tion tor the purpose of making s new constitution, I have not been able to Be* the necessity either for abasing those who oppose the convention, or to treat their reasons with contempt. Bather let ns give them credit for linearity, end en deavor to oonvino* them by argument, so that as fur aa possible there may be har mony and agreement amongst ell. The reasons nrged against holding e convention ere, as far as I have been able to understand, the following: First—It is said that onr people are get ting along very well under the present constitution, end even if It is not entirely satisfactory, still we had better pat np with this rather then risk the chanoe of getting a worse one. Seeond—That the changes proposed are of themselves not absolutely necessa ry, and not worth the danger and expense of holding a convention. Third—That all needful amendments can and onght to be made by the Legisla tors, just as the one concerning the frandnlent bonds has been made. Without going Into any extensive argu ment upon these points it is a sufficient reply to say; First—It is not possible for a Conven tion to be called from whieh the people would have a* mnoh reason to fear as from that whioh framed th* present Oonatitn tion. If they did no harm than we need not fear any other Convention. Seoond—We have only to enumerate the changes, whieh are desired, to show that they are not only necessary, hot that it would be economy to oall a Convention for that purpose. The following scams to me to be the most important changes. First—State aid should be absolutely prohibited. Seoond—No oonnty, oity or town should be allowed to beoome e stockholder in, or loan its credit to any oompany or corpo ration. Third—The power to liana bonds by oonnty or municipal authority should be restricted as to insnra the people against any farther increase of debt. Fourth—The amount of taxes to be lev ied by oonnties and oitles should be lim ited, so that in no event .shonld the peo ple be required to pay beyond a certain anm. Fifth—Laws should be uniform, and should be made to apply equally all over the State; so that what Is law in one oonnty shall be law in every oonnty. If it is good polioy to prohibit the sale of liquor, or the killing of birdB, or the sale of certain attiolea at night in one or more oonnties, then the people of the whole State should have the benefit of inch laws; bat if it Is wrong to have them in one or more oonnties, it is wrong to have thorn in any. The Legislature should make laws for the whole State, and not for particular portions. Sixth—No relief should be greeted by a special law when the same oould be ob tained under a general law. If A. B. onght to peddle without lioense in Ma rion county beoanse lie is a crippled sol dier; then all crippled soldiers should peddle every where without lioense. If a poor blind man in Mnrray county shonld be exempt from the payment of taxes, every blind man should be exempt. If one man should be authorized to ereot a gate aoross a publio road, every man ehonld under like circnmstanoes have the same right. Seventh—There should be bat one homestead, and all persona should have equal rights under it. A small homestead for poor people and a large one for rich people is neither jnst nor politio. Let the honiestoad be plaoed at euoh an amount aa may be within the res oh of the poor, and of which the rioh need not bo ashamed to avail themselves of its bene fits. The particular amount may be safe- ly left with the Convention, bnt it is generally admitted that the amount now fixed ie mnoh too large. Eighth—The sessions of the General Assembly should be biennial. Ninth—The pay of member* of the Legislature should be fixed at a certain per diem, and tha whole pay for any ses sion not exoeed §200 for eaoh member. Tenth—No mileage should be allowed, exoept to members, and then not more than the amount aotnally expended in going to and from the oapital. Eleventh—Tha number and pay of olerks for the General Assembly shonld be presoribed. Twelfth—The office of Pnblio Printer Bhonld be abolished and the printing let ont to the lowest bidder. Thirteenth—Th* number of jndioial oironits shonld be redneed to not exceed ing fifteen. Fourteenth—The pay of jnron shonld be fixed by law and be uniform through out the State. I do not olaim that no other amend ments should be msde, and it may be that some of them enumerated will not be adopted ; bnt it is to my mind very olear that tha number and importance of the changes will be snffloient to anthorize the holding of a Convention. So far as tha coat is ooncerned it is evident thst the saving to the State even in holding biennial sessions will be far greater every year than the whole east of a Convention, to say nothing abont the saving by withholding State aid. Be sides, when we consider thst it requires e two-thirds vote by two eneoeeaive Legis latures end a submission to a vote of the people before any amendment oan be made, end that this will always require not less than two year* to accomplish, it is evident thst it ia a alow process. The first set to amend the Constitution in re lation to the frandnlent bond* was passed in Mareh, 1874, and although there was never any opposition to the measure, we have only within a few daya voted upon tho amendment, and to attempt to make all these changes in the aame manner wonld be an endless undertaking. Nor oan wa reasonably hope thst these or oven those about whioh there is little or no contro versy, will be mad* by th* Legislators at all. They wonld never be able to agroa upon tha pay of mem ban or upon a re duction of the number of Judicial eiroaita; modi leas, eonld they pan any set upon these subjects by a two-thirds vote in two snooeasive Legislatures. Granting, however, that all the impor tant changes oould and wonld be made in the method already prescribed, still even waiving the length of time neesaaaty to make them, I shonld favor a convention to make a naw Oonatitntion rather than attempt to patoh np an old one; and even with all the patches made, the present Constitution wonld never be accepted or even tolerated by onr people. The cir- oumstanoes under whioh it was made end the parties who msde it are of snob a obaraoter as to preelude the idea that our people will ever become oordially attaohed to it. Let us, then, oall a convention and frame a Constitution whieh will not only suit onr present circnmstanoes, bnt will be the work of onr own hands. John Peabody.
