THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 25, 18C9.
' r 1 I V I F I FfiU A PN A T «*t Cmne npon the Rixht of Ke-
iliLilJvJ 1 VjAI JJl» groes to hold Ofiler in Georgia.
We see from the proceedings in the case ot
Clements vs. White, before the Supreme Court
of Chatham county, the pleadings are, after all,
to take a shaj* which will test and settle the right
of negroes to hold office in Georgia. We learn
from the Savannah News of Tuesday, that this
case came up on Monday morning, and an effort
■was made by the counsel for defendant to ob
tain a continuance of the case on account of the
absence of a material -witness, one Charles
Green, in California, by whom counsel expected
to prove the race' and nationality of defendant
White : Judge Schley, however, held after de
bate, that the showing made was not sufficient
to justifv the continuance asked for, and Ex-
Govemor Johnson, for the defendant, then took
the broadest issue both upon law and fact. "VI e
quote from the News:
Hr. Johnson said he excepted to the writ of
quo warrvnto, and would throw the case open
for trial. The writ aaid that a man who had in
his veins an eighth or more of African blood
was not eligible to the office of Clerk of the Su
perior Court On that their whole case stood.
Defendant now came forward and said that
whether he had an eighth of African blood in his
veins or not, he was eligible to office under the
Constitution of the State of Georgia. He made
this admission in the form of a demurrer, to be
traversed and for purposes of argument He
read section 2d of the Constitution, and pro
ceeded :
This is a fundamental law, declaring who
shall be citizens of the State of Georgia. Ail
persons bom in the State, of whatever race or
color, or who had been naturalized. This sec
tion extended rights and privileges to a class
whichhadnotbeenrecognizedascitizens. There
could be no question as to whether the African
was a citizen. The law has made him such.—
Being citizens, certain rights attach to them. As
citizens their allegiance is due to the State of
Georgia and to tho United States. In former
times they were not eitizens,and were not bound
to allegiance. Now, being citizens, they owe al
legiance and tho government owes them protec
tion. To secure them in their citizenship, the
Legislature had said their privileges and immu
nities shall not bo abridged These were terms
of large import. All tho rights had been thrown
around them that it was possible to give
them—all that could be given to anybody
else. Tho law- was supported by the cir
cumstances of tho case and the objects
of tho Convention. Being citizens, the
question was what was to be their standing be
fore tho law. It had been declared that the law-
should mako no distinction between citizens.
Ho might rest the case npon iUi3 clause of the
Constitution alone; bnt the Constitution went
further. It not only declared what rights a man
should have, but prohibited their infringement!
It provided that religions opinions should no.
preclude a man from holding office. This ap
plied to the colored man as well as tho white.
Counsel for the relator would say that tho
having African blood in the veins would exclude
from office. Tho Constitution did not say so. It
said no citizen should bo deprived of his rights
and privileges. The African is a citizen.
He read farther from the Constitution, show
ing who were entitled to vote, and declared that
tho object was to include all—both white and
black. It said nothing about country, kingdom,
race or color. The law had made all citizens
equal before tho law. All were equally entitled
to hold office : all were equally entitled to vote.
The Constitution further provided who should
not hold office and who should not vote. It did
not say negroes should not. It provides who
shall be eligible to a seat in tho Legislature. It
did not say negroes should not. It made all cit
izens eligiblo except certain persons mentioned.
A mnn must bo a citizen of tho United States,
twenty-one years of age, and a citizen of tho
State of Georgia for one year." Here was a col-
ored man who complied with all these require
ments. Tho laws did not say that he should bo
excluded because he had African blood in his
veins. The Court would observe that the word
“ citizeD ” was everywhere used. It did not say
white or black citizens, but citizens, making no
distinctions. All tho argument against their
holding office was grounded on the fact that
during tho Convention a clause was introduced
making the colored man eligible to office, in ex
press terms, and it was voted down. The infer
ence was drawn that tho Convention did not con
sider them eligible. The argument did not hold
good. Tho clause might have been voted down
because members thought tho Constitution al
ready provided for the colored people holding
office. Whatever had actuated the members in
voting as they did, it could not be inquired into
here.
Among tho people was a conflict of sentiment
upon this question, and proof of tho opinions
of the people could not bo heard. Tho Court
must tako tho Constitution as it is, and decide
upon this question by its provisions alone.
Slavery having been abolished, every pre-
snmption of tho law should be in favor of free
dom. This fact established, tho presumption
is that this man, though colored, being a citizen,
is entitled to all the rights and privileges of any
other citizen. Furthermore, the Constitution
was made by tho Convention and ratified by the
people, it was understood, in accordance with the
will of Congress, and tho will of Congress must
lie inquired into, and what was tho intention of
that body with reference to these people. The
Constitution was framed in accordance with the
demands of Congress. That being accepted as
a fact, the colored peoplo are entitled to hold
office. Congress intended that they should.
Congress had this view in accordance with the
spirit of the age. Tho progress of the age is
onward, in all countries, and for the granting of
greater rights and privileges to tho humblest
citizens. Congress intended that these people
should be citizens and have all tho rights and

Among tbe Fertilizers.
We spent »n hour yesterday among the fer
tilizers—among great heaps of bones, probably
the sad relics of Federal and Confederate cav
alry, wagon and artillery horses and mules—
among sacks of Peruvian, and barrels of fish
guano, gypsum and Ashley bone phosphate;
piles of crude nitre; carboys of sulphuric acid,
and Satan knows what not in the way of odor
iferous ingredients and compounds to make
corn and cotton grow. In a word, we went to
the mill—Gustin & Ayers’ mill. They do a
heap of milling, without ring, stakes, sponges
or bottle-holders.
Perhaps the reader would like to know how to
make Gnatin’s Ammoniated Superphosphate.
We found out and are going to tell. First, then, a
twenty-horse power engine drives their crushing,
grinding and compounding operations. Hori
zontal cylinders, with grooves working like cogs,
catch the bones and crush them with a remorse
less power and energy. In this condition they
are turned into an iron vat, and receive a gentle
laving of sulphuric acid, which makes them hiss,
fry and smoke like a witch’s cauldron. They are
then shoveled out and piled np in a great heap,
where, after a due course of absorption and
Msttag, the solid substance is transformed to •
gummy, gelatinous sad plastic material. In
this condition of sticky mollification, Ashley
River Bono Dost, ground Fish Guano, pulver
ized crude Nitre and Peruvian are applied to
them. ’» v i
Tho mass, well mixed, is then subjected to
tho action of mills formed of steal plates about
twenty inches in diameter, and which are driven
at a speed of seven hundred revolutions a min
ute. This attriturates and grinds np the ingre
dients Together in a very cautionary manner.
The entire aubatanoe is then passed through a
revolving screen and oomes forth finished and
ready for use, in the shape of a powder the col
or of Scotch snuff and about as fine—every atom
of which is supposed to be soluble and highly
adapted to farther the process of vegetation. H
Indeed, it should be; for the ingredients in
the mixture being Sulphuric Add, pulverized
Rawbone, Ashley river phosphate, Nitre, Peru
vian Guano and Fish Guano, seem to us to leave
nothing to be desired-for fertilizing purposes,
and everything it reduced to an impalpable pow
der. .
Messrs. Ayres A Gustin have introduced im
portant improvements in this manufacture, and
they hold their superphosphate to be equal in
practical value to the beat Peruvian Guano.
They cannot supply half the demand for it, and
are taxing their mill to its utmost. We wen
glad to see so busy a place and hope there will
bo more of them.

Sr. Louis Board or Toads. — Major L. R.
Shryock, of tho well known house of Shryock
A Rowland, was inaugurated President of tho
St Louis Board of Trade, on the evening of the
18th. He is well known to our merchants, who
will congratulate him upon his promotion. The
Major and his boose were as true as steel to the
South in the late “ unpleasantry,” and we are
glad to know the most perfect “relations of
amity and cammoree ” exist between our peo
ple and that of Messrs. Shryock A Rowland.
Hox. Wit. E. Dodo*.—We are informed that
this gentleman and his immediate family have
probably invested more money in Georgia prop
erty, since the war, than all other Northern men
put together. More-than to any one else, the
repeal of the cotton lax is also duo to Mr. Dodge.
He was the first to movo in tho matter, and as
President of the New York Chamber of Com
merce, was untiring in his efforts to accomplish
the repeal of that odious and oppressive tax.
Reduced Freights os the Westers asd At

as low as Cartersvifle and Marietta, at nine to
twelve cents per bushel. Pig and merchant bar
iron goes from ten to fifteen dollars per carload,
from Chattanooga to Atlanta, and sics ter so.
Lime, for' agricultural purposes, ranges .at six,
seven and eight dollars per carload. That is the
way to help a railroad and a country too.
Alabama Claims—A Lrmx Account to be
Presented tor Prompt Settlement. — The
Herald’s Washington special of Monday, says
the delay in the nominatiorf of a Minister to
England, vice Reverdy Johnson, is attributed
to the fact that he has been carefully consider
ing what policy will be best to pursue in regard
to the Alabama claims. He has resolved to adopt ’.
a very decisive course with England, and the
amount of his diplomacy will be simply the send
ing of a bill to the British Government asking
payment for the depredations of the pirate ships
on American commerce. Caleb Cashing Is
among those now mentioned as likely to be hon
ored with tho appointment to England. • 5 ■ \
Filibusters tit Cuba.—The Charleston News
publishes a letter announcing the arrival in Cuba
of an American expeditionary force in aid of

Henningsen. of Nicaragua fame.
So says one dispatch, but another states that
Henningsen is in Washington.

privileges of citizens. It was understood by the
people of Georgia that this demand was made
upon them by Congress, and with this under,
standing they ratified it The
ion of
the lawls that they are entitled Ito all the rights
and privileges of any other citizens, unless the
contrary should bo shown in express terms. No
such express provision is contained in the Con.
stituti&n. and the presumption of the law is that
they are entitled to office.
Judge Fleming, for plaintiff, took the posi
tion, that under the laws of Georgia, color, re
sulting, from having African blood in the veins,
was a disqualication. . Apply the role to the col
ored man, he must must have all the qualifica
tions and none of the disqualifications. He had
prepared an argument upon the 'subject, which
he read: ; . »
t The court then adjourned till Tuesday at. ten
o’clock, when the argument of the case would be
opened by plaintiff’s counsel Hartridge, Lloyd
and Fleming for plaintiff and Johnson and Stone
contra.
This, it urill be recollected, is a case coining
up on an application for a writ ot quo 'warranto

•to show by what authority of law he holds and
exercises tho office of Clerk of the Superior
Court of Chatham county.
From Brooks County.
A Quitman correspondent, writing on the 22d,
speaks discouragingly of affairs in Brooks
county. He says he has been able to hire no
hands this year,and a large number of his friends
and neighbors are in the same condition; while
many who have hired are having trouble with
their laborers. He says much productive land
in the county will be idle in consequence, and
there is bound to be suffering among the ne
groes who prefer idleness to labor.
Emigration to Virginia.'—The Richmond
Whig of Monday says that several Austrians will
arrive next week to settle a few miles beyond
there.
A large influx of Englishmen will ’arrive - at
Norfolk in April, and arrangements are made
for the importation of Germans,
Letters received from the Netherlands, Russia
and other European States show there will soon
he a large emigration to Virginia. Northern
man nrci also prospecting for settlement.
President Dwight, of Yale College after a
discussion with Calhoun, then in the senior class
on a problem in the science of government, re
marked to a friend—“That yonth has talents
enough to become President of the United
States."
Old Jesse Grant, now postmaster at Coving-
m. Ky., in his biography of “ Xyss,” Innhlish*
ed last year in Bonner's Ledger, said :
* ‘Ulysses when a small boy, was very fond of
money and presents."
Calhoun never attained the Presidency, but
Ulysses did, and still retains his youthful char
acteristic.
The Foreign Aspect of Cotton.
The Manchester Examiner, quoted by the
Charleston Courier, publishes several extracta
from eminent cotton firms in Liverpool and
Manchester upon the state of the European cot
ton market.
Messrs. Ellison A Haywood state:
“In our last report we remarked that the pros
pects of supply were not at all satisfactory, bnt
we entertained the hope that they would im
prove as time advanced, our impression being
that the receipts at the American ports would
shortly show some increase npon the arrivals of
last year, but we regret to state that this expec
tation has not only not been realized, bnt the
very reverse has transpired; inasmuch as the
receipts have been considerably less than those
of the corresponding period of 1868, the arri
vals at the American ports during the past four
weeks being only 200,000 bales, against 375,000
bales in February of last. year. • * •
The supply of cotton will fall very short of the
quantity requisite to enable our mills to work
full time. * * * So far as regards the
matter of cotton supply, the prospects are worse
even than they were a month ago, inasmuch as
the receipts at the American ports have proved
to be much smaller than was anticipated, while
the accounts from India and other producing
countries remain without favorable change, the
balance of probabilities indicate that the imports
into Great Britain from America will be less this
season than the last.
“The position of the staple is therefore one
of great strength.”
So, too, Messrs. Smith, Edwards A Co., state?
“Public attention is strongly directed to the
small receipts and shipments adrised from
America. • * The development of the Amer
ican crop is more unfavorable than any one
could have expected. We have been
week that receipts were sure to increase before
long, that bad roads or some other temporary
cause, accounted for their smallness, bnt, in
stead of increase, we find a farther tendency to
decrease, and the average for February is only
56,000 bales per week, against 93,000 last year.
It seems now almost beyond doubt, that this
crop has been over-estimated like the last one,
and it seems highly probable that the export to
Great Britain will fall short of the total from
last crop by 100,000 bales or more.”
Nor is there much comfort from the condition
of affairs in India.
The circular on this subject remarks: “With
regard to India, we are sorry to say that the
prospects of supply have become worse. The
general opinion now entertained in Bombay, is
that the export for this year will fall largely be
low the last year. This is owing to two causes,
viz: the scanty supply of old ootton left in the
country on the 1st of January, and the disaj
pointing ont-turnof the new crops. * *
seems, therefore, taking a general view of the
question, that there is but little prospect of the
country receiving as much ootton as last year,
and there may be a very senoua deficit ”
Messrs. Geo. Frazer, Son A Co., of Manches
ter, console themselves with the opinion that
high prices have given production so powerful
an impetus that the cotton supply will be largely
increased in the future. They say :
“Another important element will ere long
come into play, bearing upon the price of cotton
later in the year, and that is the increased extent
of planting to be looked for this spring in Amer
ica. Cereals have been cheap and abundant
there, but ootton very high in price, compared
with last year. The great bulk of the extra price
paid upon ootton has gone into the planters’'
pocket, and tho inducement is great, indeed, to
extend its cultivation. * * The only consoling
feature is that prices will give a great stimulus
to its production. ”
Thus, it will be seen, they count on lower
prices from increased production, and very pos
sibly they are right. There is a strong conflict
of opinion on this point, and speculation is pow
erless to settle it. Some of our most intelligent
planters and cotton dealers assert, with entire
confidence, that the cotton crop must fall off
from year to year, owing to the rapid diminution
in the supply of negro labor. That neither the
increase of white labor nor the application of
fertilizers and improved culture will make up for
the constant and rapid loss of field hands, and
that loss the heaviest in the best of the cotton
growing section of the South.
We will not contest the question further than
to express the conviction that they ore in error.
The cotton crop of the South will grow, instead
of diminishing; and in no great length of time
far surpass its old proportions and attain a
magnitude which, if set down in figures now,
would be regarded as fabulous and ridiculous.
We are not half so sure how this is to be accom
plished, as that it will be, and that the annual
crops of the South are destined, in tho next gen
eration, to laugh at tho puny achievements of
almost any other section or country. This, we
hope and believe, will be the recompense of oar
children for the injnstioe, wrong and cruelty
which have been practiced npon their sires.
But to drop the distant fntnre—let us have a
word with the present What is the present as
pect of the case here ? Nearly every farmer in
Georgia and the South is this moment busy
planning and working to produce every lock of
cotton he possibly can,almost regardless of food
crops—in the hope that nobody else will be as
foolish as himself.
He knows, for illostsation, that a crop of three
million bales would probably bring the South
very little more money than a crop of twenty-
five hundred thousand. Therefore, in the gen
eral division of the proceeds upon that basis, if
he pushes his crop up to one hundred bales he
is likely to get no more money for it than if it
represented eighty bales in a crop of two and a
half million. His good sense ?6Ua him that his
eighty bales in that condition, with a fair food
crop, are far better than the hundred in the oth
er condition. The difference in his favor would
represent the valae of the food crop.
Bat his hope is that the vast body of South
ern farmers (everybody except himself) will see
and act npon so plain a suggestion of common
sense; and then the general result being a mod
erate ootton crop and a fair crop of provisions,
he, himself, will take the exceptional benefit of
a larger proportion of a moderate cotton crop.
He will have more bales to selbst prices estab
lished by a light general crop.
That is the whole story, and each planter can
see for himself how it is going to work out.
The result, reasoning npon probabilities/mnst
be a large crop in winch every planter's larger
share will be worth no more than a smaller
share in a smaller crop, while all will lose the
value of a provision crop ample for all emer
gencies.
Bnt it is impossible to control and regulate in
dividual operations, by a common personal inter
est, however clear and vital The cotton' crop
must swell, and it is, perhaps, harmonious with
the substantial interests of the South and the
world that it should swell The planter can do
no better than to follow cnxt his honest convic
tions of personal policy, and if he mistakes,* so
do other people.
Meanwhile, we cannot be in error on one great
fact—that the South is rapidly regaining her old
position in the cotton trade, and the energetic
prosecution of that vast trade is destined to
make her rich and prosperous again. That is
the main point, and itis made increasingly clear
ever since the conclusion of the war.
