A gentleman from Southwestern Georgia re
ports that lands in that section have greatly ad
vanced. A year ago he was offered a sir hundred
acre place for <G00; but now the owner demands
three thousand dollars for it, and can probably
get his price. There is great scarcity of hands
and every sort of a worker is in demand. The
work of fencing and clearing np is poshed on
energetically, and our informant said he heard
scarcely any other word than “cotton" daring
his trip. King Corn is dethroned, and it is de
voutly to bo hoped that tho old monarch may
not make these rebellious subjects turn yellow
as himself before ho is done with them.
“Tnx Lawn we Love.”—The February num
ber of this justly favorite Southern Magazine
has been received. It contains seventeen ar
ticles of nnnsual merit The leader ia from that
old hero, Gen. Jnbal Early. “Concentretive
Immigration” ia a powerful article on a most
important subject “Women and the laves of
Women” is an eloquent rebuke of the misrep
resentations of tho sex, by * Missouri authoress
of reputation. Besides this, there are histori
cal and biographical sketches, ornithology, fic
tion and poetry. Tho poetry is by Mrs. Down
ing, Mrs. Weiss, (formerly Miss Susan Archer
Talley,) and J. Augustine Signaigo.
The ConstitntIonality oi the Belief
Law.
The action of the Supremo Court on the Ite-
liefLaw will be found on the fourth page of this
issue of the Daily Teleobapb, and we know it
will be read with a great deal of curiosity.' Ev
ery man in Georgia will be curious to see how
the Supremo Court makes it out that a law which
permits a debtor in default to reopen his bar
gains, and to plead in offset the subsequent
depreciation of values, and insist upon averag
ing losses between himself and his creditors
does not impair tho “obligations of contracts.”
It does not only impair, it destroys them.
But for our part, wo heartily wish that
all legal remedies for creditors were destroyed
at once, i. o. as to future debts ; and if this be
the way wo are going to do, wo might just as
well includo past debts also. We hope that
credit, exoopt as the result of established char
acter merely, has received a death-blow in
Georgia ior tho next century. It will be bet
ter for the people in the long run.
Gov. Bulloch.—The Atlanta Now Era of yes
terday publishes a communication from the
Governor addressed to the House Finance Com
mittee, upon the matter of his account with the
Treasury. Wo will try to mako room for it to
morrow. The Governor states that the missing
money was paid over to the proprietors of the
Opera House.
• Me. Justice Warner is somewhat ponderous
in the conclusion of bis dissenting opinion on
the relief law. It is related that a yellow-jacket
once lit upon the hand of a Ron of St. Patrick,
who surveyed the insect with great curiosity.
Presently Mr. Yellow-jacket began to sting
lustily. “It’s a queer little burd," says Pat,
“but be j fibers, how hot and heavy his feet is!”
Failures in 1SGS.—The failures during 1868,
in five of the principal cities of the United
States, are reported to amount to 482, distrib
uted as follows: New York, 295; Philadelphia,
63; Boston, 59; Baltimore 37, and Chicago, 28.
The number of large failures during the last
two months of 1868 exceeded by 50 per cent,
the number during tho"same period in the crisis
of 1857.
Mobile and Girard Railroad.—The Colum
bus Sun says that work on the lower end of the
Mobile and Girard Railroad progresses vqry
slowly. We are informed the grading has bedh
completed to a distance of only two miles.
From the Montgomery papers we learn that
the sale of stock of delinquent subscribers to the
Montgomery and Enfanla Railroad came off
Monday morning. Two hundred and sixty-five
nhare«i were sold from 30 to 50 cents on the dol
lar.
Thb Savannah, G rutin and North Alabama
Railroad.—The Griffin Star learns that the
prospects of this road are indeed very flattering.
The committee appointed to see the stockhold
ers who have paid in the full amount of their
stock, and those also who have paid only a por
tion of the amount subscribed, and to ascertain
what they are willing to do, have met with un
expected success.
Union Pacific Railroad.—a correspondent
of the Constitution from Council Bluffs, writes.
Between 1350 and MOO miles of the Union Pa
cific Railway are built, and the care running
upon it. There is but about 250 miles to be
built, to complete the connection with San
Francisco. Passengers can now go from New
York to San Francisco in about ten days—thus
saving fifteen days of the ocean and isthmus
routes.
General Grant's Cabinet.— A Washington
telegram says that General Grant has selected
a.. Cabinet, but will only announce such se-
to those fortunate individuals, when
he pball have been officially notified of his elec
tion, which will be early in February.
“Pep Gee* the Wem*el."
Georgia cotton producers will pocket, as we
suppose, a sum total of about thirty-five to fusty
millions of dollars, proceeds of the cotton crop
of 1*68. That is a large sum of money, bat it
is easy enough to see how it may slip through the
fingers like the weasel in the song—“That’s the
way the money flies, pop goes the weaseL”
Some editors are discoursing about a large
surplus in the hands of the people of Georgia,
and what shall be done with it; but we don’t
believe they have got a large surplus, and, we
may go further and confidently assert they will
neter hare it until we have adopted the true
and sound economy of producing our own bread
and meat. A large income is nothing if it is
attended with corresponding outgoes. The A er-
mont Fanner’s boasted net profits of six per
cent on three thousand dollars invested in farm
ing, is better. _ „ _* .■
A country which swaps off good cotton lint
for Western meat at pound for pound, or there
about, is doing a poor business. Every man
can see or ought to see, that the Western farm
er wrecks the cotton planter on such a trade as
that every time. The bacon can he made at
half the expense of labor and capital employed
in the production of the meat.
Now we want to see how this heavy income
of thirty-five millions from the cotton crop of
Georgia will slip away like the weaseL
First, we estimate that about a hundred mill
ion pounds of bacon must be bought with the
money. Is that too much ? There are twelve
hundred thousand people in the State, and this
will allow about eighty pounds apiece. We shall
consume a great deal more than that, for it is
the great Btaple food of the country—of men,
women and children, white and block. We
know a good deal will be produced at home;
but not, as we believe, a tenth part of a supply.
We have seen that Macon alone imported, dur
ing a fortnight, of this current month, over
eight hundred thousand pounds, and at that rate
for Macon in two weeks, how long will it take
to run np a hundred millions for the whole State
of Georgia ?
Well, if we have a hundred millions to buy,
there is ono-half of your cotton money gone at
once. One hundred million pounds of bacon
will cost you twenty millions of dollars. ' But
suppose we are far above the mark, and sev
enty-five millions will cover demands, then fif
teen minions will be needed. If that be too
high, with fifty millions of bacon to pay for, ten
millions of the cotton money will be required in
HtfitMOt
Next, there’s the deficiency in com to provide
for. What will that be ? ' Georgia consumes
annually between forty and fifty millions of
bushels of Indian corn. Say forty-five millions,
worth, fit the lowest calculation, so many dol
lars. How much do wo fall short of making our
own supply? One half? One third? or one
quarter? We will take the lowest estimate,
and at that we must pay eleven millions two
hundred and fifty thousand for com.
Com and bacon together will therefore draw
twenty-one millions two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars from our thirty-five millions cotton
fund. This still leaves us a balance of <13,760,-
000, and now wo will oome to mules. Our mule
and horse-bill this winter, as nigh as we can
guess, will foot up two to three millions of dol
lars; but take off the odd <1,760,000 and we
shall have twelve millions left, out of which to
buy every thing else—carriages, wagons, agri
cultural implements, fertilizers, groceries, dry
goods, shoes, leather, salt, iron, seed-oaia, rye
and wheat, and what not. • V •; -f.?
We do not see the surplus, and we come back
to the original proposition that it never will be
until we produce our own food. The man who
is out of debt and has raised his own bacoo, com
and forage—he can talk surplus; but it is an un
known tongue to the planter who has all these
primary necessities to supply by purchase.
Now, but one report reaches us from the best
Georgia cotton regions. The high price of cot'
ton is directing everybody^ attention from pro
visions. Everybody is nerving himself for a
grand effort to turn out every lock of cotton
possible, and, in course every one expects to get
tho top of the present market for every pound
produced. In short, the prettiest chance is now
opening for one of the grandest financial disap
pointments which has been seen in a century.
We can imagine a cool, calculating planter
shaking his head over the scene. He says to
himself, “With a heavy crop of cotton next year,
it ia pretty dear that prices most go down. If
nobody raises com in this region, com must bo
high; and, should the Western crop be short,
there is no telling what the price may be. I have
seen it as high as three dollars and twenty-five
cents in gold in Macon, and it mag be worth five
dollars next year in greenbacks. Tho whole point
turns upon a full Western crop; and, after two
heavy crops, it would be no more than reasonable
to look for a failure. I cannot afford to risk rain
on such a contingency. I will do my best to pro
vide an ample supply of com for myself—no
matter what my neighbors do. They are risking
their temporal salvation on several contingencies:
1. That of a good cotton crop. 2. That of a good
price. 3. A heavy Western crop of com. If
either of these strings break, they will come to
misfortune, and if they all hold, I believe I shall
make more dear money by giving my first atten
tion to supply crops. ” We think a planter with
a dear head on his shoulders and with judgment
unclouded by present cotton prices will certainly
talk in this way.
Report of the Committee on Retrench
ment.
We were indebted to friend yesterday for a
copy of the report of the Joint Committee of the
Georgia Legislature upon Retrenchment. This
committee were appointed at the last session,
and held their meeting, ad interim, on the 11th
of last November. It consists of Messrs. W. W.
Merrell, C. B. Wooten, M. C. Smith, John Harris
and A. D. Nunnally, of the Senate, and W. P.
Price, TTTrflm Williams, Ephraim Tweedy, A. H.
Lee, W. B. Gray, T. W. Grimes, F. W. Holden,
Sami McComb, W. D. Anderson, B. W. Flournoy,
and W. C. Drake, of the House.
Their report is a pamphlet of thirteen pages,
which we have time only to glance at. The re
port fixes the bonded debt of the State at
<5,796,500, and the floating debt at that period
at <140,000 borrowed of the Fourth National
Bank of New York to defray the expenses of the
called session of the Legislature of 1868.
The Committee complains of the expense of
the clerical services to the last Legislature,
which was <45,382, and they submit a resolu
tion declaring that about twice - as many clerks
were employed as were necessary, and none but
the Finance and Judiciary Committees be al
lowed clerks. They recommend that pages,
guards, assistant doorkeepers and assistant mes
sengers, be dispensed with. They declare that
the contingent expenses of the two Houses
were unusual, extraordinary, and in the highest
degree extravagant They say that there are
too many employes in the Executive Depart
ment
They give an unfavorable report of the Deaf
and Dumb Asylum at Cave Spring, and say the
property is in bad repair, and the committee
could not find where the appropriation of $25,-
000 for repairs had been expended, and say the
institution is carried on at too great a cost
They complain of the management of the Peni
tentiary, and the convicts, and recommend im
portant reforms in that institution. They speak
highly of Dr. Green’s management of the State
Lunatic Asylum, and recommend more liberal
appropriations for repairs and improvements.
They speak also very kindly of the Acadamy of
the Blind, and Mr. Principal Williams, and see
very prudent management in that quarter.
WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE
OP THE MA00S DAILY TELEGRAPH.
THE CONTENTED ELECTION CASE TBOJC THE SXXXH
COVG SESSIONAL DISTRICT OT GEORGIA-
Wahhetoton, January 25, 1869.
I am indebted to the courtesy of the Wash
ington correspondent of the Savannah Bepub-
lican for the following statement, relative to the
contested election case from the Sixth Congres
sional District of Georgia :
One of the most remarkable cases of un
warranted assumption of power is brought to
light by the contested election case from the
Sixth District of Georgia, be tween Messrs. Chris
ty and Wimpy.
At the election held in Georgia in April last,
in pursuance of an ordinance passed by the Con
vention authorized by the Reconstruction Acts,
J. H. Christy was elected to Congress from
the Sixth District—was so proclaimed by Gen
eral Meade, and received from the commanding
General of the Third Military District, precise
ly such certificate of election as was issued by
him to the other members from Georgia, and
under which they were received and sworn in,
after their political disabilities had been re
moved. Hr. Christy failed to reach Washington
before the adjournment of Congress, which oc
curred a few days after the passage of the Con
stitutional Amendment by the Legislature of
Georgia.
In November last he was notified in Atlanta
by Gov. Bullock, that Mr. John A. Wimpy had
applied for a commission as a member at Con
gress from the Sixth District, on the alleged
ground of Christy's ineligibility—the allegation
of ineligibility having been predicted upon the
averment that Christy had been appointed many
years ago (in 1850) by the United States Marshal
for Georgia to take the census returns of Clarke
county. He at once procured the certificate of
John Calvin Johnson, Esq., (then, and now
Cleric of the Superior Court of that county) to
the effect that he had, in 1850, asked his opinion
os to the necessity of taking an oath to support
the Constitution, etc., and that he, the said
Johnson, had advised him that it was not neces
sary, and that no such oath was taken.
After his arrival in Washington, about the
first of December, Mr. Christy was greatly sur
prised to learn from Governor Bullock himself,
that, notwithstanding the above certificate had
been filed in the Executive office in Atlanta, he
had issued a so-called commission to Wimpy!
This commission so-called, was presented in the
House as soon as it met; also the certificate of
election which Gen. Meade- had issued to Chris-
| ty. Both papers were referred to the Commit
tee of Elections. The contestants were sum
moned two or three times before that Commit
tee, and stated the facts and argued the case
before it The committee decided as a matter
of oourse, (for they could not do otherwise) that
Wimpy was not elected, and Christy was, bnt
that having given revolutionary aid to the re
bellion he could not toko his seat until his dis
abilities were removed, and recommended that
the matter be referred to the Committee on
Reconstruction.
This ia a brief history of the case, its present
status; etc. The object 'in referring to it is to
call attention to the extraordinary condnct of
Gov. Bullock in regard to this matter.
It will be recollected that the election was held
in accordance with an ordinance of the Conven
tion by General Meade, the Commander Of the
Military District at that time, who was author
ized not only to hold the election, bnt to appoint
the time and place when it should be held, issue
certificates of election, etc., all of which he did.
It will be remembered that Gov. Bullock himself
Afkire la Havana.
A letter from Havana soys a plan for peace is
being arranged, and will probably be completed
in two or three weeks. Slaves freed by the rev
olution will remain free, and persons now in
arms will form part of the militia. The people
will rate their own taxation, and the Govern
ment will have many republican features.
Several officers of the Cuban revolutionary
army had a reception at an up-town hotel. They
are intending to purchase arms arid war muni
tions to ship o to Cuba immediately. They pro
fess to have a large amount of money at their
command. They were wisited by many sympa
thizers, some of whom subscribed liberally to
the liberation of Cuba.

many scientific men in Paris.

persons or property, and have committed sever

Mr. K.—who was left in my charge. I am
afraid to return home, as the militia say they

was elected the same day and under the same
restrictions attending the election of other offl- 'RALSTON’S HALL,
Now what authority had he to commission
Wimpy ? And why did ho not commission
Clift, Tift, Edwards, Gove, Prince and Young
also ? Hid the ordinance of the Convention an-
thorizo the act? It will not bo pretended that
it did! From whence, then, did he derive this
authority? From the laws of the State? Oh,
no 1 The election was not held under the Civil
Code of Georgia, and even if it had been, he
did not issne that so-called “commission” in
accordance therewith.
Let ns see. By an ordinance adopted by the
Constitutional Convention of 1868, “Irwin's
Code” was legalized as the statute laws of
Georgia. Now, see title “Elections” in that
Code, and it will be found that it is made the
duty of tho Governor to issne a proclamation
ttcenty dags after an election for Congress has
been held and announce the name of the mem
bers elect. If thirty days thereafter any mem
ber shall have failed to apply for a commission,
that district shall be declared vacant and a new
election ordered, so that, to be legal, a commis
sion most issne within thirty days after the pro
clamation, or fifty days after the election.
These are the plain provisions of the Code.
Did Gov. Bollock comply with them ? He could
not have done so, even if the election had been
held nnder State authority. It occnrred on the
20th of April, and he was not sworn in until the
4th of July, and then only as Provisional Gov
ernor. The so-called “ commission” is dated the
24th of November, men months after the elec
tion, when, to have been legal, it should have
been issued within fifty days thereafter.
The miserable pretext that the commission
was issued because of the ineligibility of Mr. C.
is too flimsy to deceive any one. Who set np
Gov. Bollock as the jndge of the qualification of
members of Congress ? All that he would have
been authorized to do, even had the election
been held nnder his authority, would have been
simply to certify who had received, the largest
number of votes. Here his dnty ended. By the
Constitution of the United States it is declared,
“ Each house shall be the jndge of the election,
retnm'and qualification of its own members.”
This assumption of power on the part of
Governor Bullock, has aroused the indignation
of every honest man conversant with the facts.
It bears on its face the fool badge of fraud—a
fraud designed to “palsy the will of the consti
tuent” and deny to the loyal people of the Sixth
District the sacred right of representation. If
any man in official position has been guilty re
cently, of “crimes and misdemeanors” of a
higher grade, we have not heard of the case.
‘NiogeS oh the Fence.”—A negro was re
cently found dead one side of a fence, with a
stolen carcass of a hog on the other side, hung
by the gambrel stick across the negro’s neck,
which was broken. It is supposed the darkey
got hung in climbing the fence, with the hog
slung to birn in fhi*i fashion. As the affair, the
account of which is given by a Cincinnati paper,
appears to have occurred in Ohio, it is impossi
ble that this was a Kn-Klux trick, as it would
have been if it had happened further South.
