FRIDAY MOBNXIG, APRIL 2, 18CU.
Rich Against Poor l ands.
As an abstract proposition there is no fight
between rich lands and poor lands in the way of
cropping. Ail other things being equal, we sup
pose it would be bettor to crop on inexh&ostable
Mississippi bottoms at one thousand dollars an
acre, then to cultivate poor pine uplands as a
gift. But the prinepio of compensation runs
through nature and almost every department of
life; and, therefore, even in tho halcyon days
of cotton planting, the comparative results of
operations on the Mississippi bottoms and good
npland cotton planting did not exhibit the start'
ling contrast one would be naturally led to an
ticipate.
The Mississippi cotton planter lost his bunds
by discaseand frequently his crops by overflow.
He conld never have a homo upon his planta
tion, and the cost of providing for the health of
his white family was a serious setback. Doubt
less, in a series of years, he outstripped his np
land competitor; bnt tho sacrifice of personal
comfort taken into account, It is questionable
whether tho npland planter had not the best of
the bargain.
The same eonriderations, since the downfall
of sloyeiy, are operating with greater force
against the Inexhaustible Mississippi alluviums.
It is hard to get and retain a working force of
freedmen there, and they cannot advantageously
be managed, as of yore, by hired agents and
overseen. Consequently, tho proportion of
these unctuous alluviums which were once culti
vated but are now lying idle and unproductive, is
far greater than the proportion of open uplands
in the same condition. A friend fells ns that
notone acre in twenty of these bottom alluviums
formerly cultivated is now under plough.
How this vast mine of agricultural wealth is
hereafter to be worked is a problem yet un
solved. We have, as yet, no satisfactory illn-
mination upon the subject; bnt that ultimately
it will again bo brought under cultivation by
some undiscovered agencies, we have no great
doubt. It is demanded by the interests of civ
ilization and commerce and the wants of the
people.
Bnt, meanwhile, it is certain that these Kile
regions of tho cotton crop, so rich as not to re
quire tho annual application of fertilizers, are
lapsing into disuse far more rapidly than the
poorer nplands which must be fertilized to com
pensate the labor and expense of filling.
We are, in fact, disposed to think the light,
comparatively poor and considerably worn cot
ton lands of Central Georgia will, in the next
ten years, develope the cotton culture more rap
idly than perhaps any other section - of the
South; for the simple reason that they seem to
conform more elosely to the conditions of small
farm and white labor culture. The lands are
light, it is true, bnt they are easily improved,
and tilled, the country is generally salubrious,
and the climate agreeable. Nothing, in fact,
exists in this section to prevent an entirely suc
cessful application of white labor to cotton
growing, and we hope by and by to see Middle
Georgia colonized by emigrant farmers, who
will, as in tho North and West, apply their own
labor and that of thoir children to the produc
tion of cotton, os well as df the numerous other
crops to which the oountry is adapted.
But there is a very small proportion of land
in Middle or any other part of Georgia, which
it will pay to cultivate without manure; and, in
fact, it is hard to find land anywhere to which
the judicious application of fertilizers will not
prove a profitable investment In English ag
riculture, for illustration, although perhaps ove-
tj acre in cultivation would strike our planters
as abundantly rich, yet the annual investment
for commercial fertilizers in that small island,
for exceeds the sum paid in the United States.
Doubtless the present year in Georgia may
develop some unprofitable results from the use
of fertilizers. To some it will be a novel ex
periment, unintelligently and carelessly prose
cuted. Some will have made bod selections—
the seasons, to some, may be unfavorable. Lost
year, wo know that in Middle Georgia tho
dronght was bdlieved by many to have made
the application of ootton seed to corn a positive
disadvantage; but, on the whole, wo do not
sharo onr correspondent’s fears of a general dis
appointment, or any considerable abandonment
of the use of fertilizers. Wo believe, on the
contrary, that it will increase from year to year
—and that, what he calls the “intensive system
of fanning " is the only one worth following. It
must bo studied—it must bo pursued intelli
gently and energetically; bnt it is nevertheless
truo that a heavy crop is the profitable crop.
Fanning which can Use on light crops, will pros
per on good ones, and grow rich on heavy crops.
-Letter
Butler's Disability BUI
Requires tho applicant to filo a petition to the
TJ. S. Court with on affidavit that ho believes the
Confederate General and State Governments re
bellious and (reasonable, and truly repents of the
acts done in maintenance thereof. The bill is
intended, not to relieve, bnt, to perpetuate dis
abilities, by imposing a false and humiliating
test, which compels a man to forswear a mental
conviction.
Gsosaix and the Futebuh Amendment.—
Tho New York Times of Monday, after showing
at length that tho Fifteenth Amendment was
defeated in Georgia by the votes of tho adminis
tration members of the Legislature, calls upon
Congress to consider these facts and be in so
haste to proceed to extreme measures of recon
struction.
Bond Tumbles ebom his Wises. —The Atlanta
New Era, of yesterday, says that Bond, the fool
hardy wire-walker, fell from his wire at Dalton,
yesterday and broke his right leg, as well as
seriously injuring himself internally. His inju
ries are very serious, if not fatal.
1*06X10 Laws or the Last Gesehal Assembly.
Mr. Z. D. Harrison has issued a pamphlet edi
tion of the public acts, which is on sale at all
the book stores at $1 00 pe^copy. It is a
pamphlet of sixty-five pages, very neatly print
ed by Mr. Toon, at the Franklin Printing
House, Atlanta. -
The Wheat Chop.—The Rome Commercial of
Sunday says that the wheat crop of that section
is looking fine. No accident occurring between
this and harvest, a full crop is expected. Up to
the presnt time the fruit crop has not been in
jured. Farmers are planting com and with un
usual care. Cotton planting bag not commenced
with us. About the same area of land will be
planted this as last year.
Episcopal Contention.—'The annual conven
tion of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the
Diocese of Georgia will assemble at St. Paul's
Church, Augusta. Ga., on the 5th day of next
May. It is expected several new churches will
be admitted to onion with the Diocese at that
time.
Gzx. Gaunt III.—Gen. Grant was ill again
last Monday. He is said to be much karrassed
by the politicians and office-seekers; and
another cause of chagrin is a quarrel between
Gen. Sherman and Rawlings, Secretary of War.
Easteb Fashions.—The New Xork papers
say the display of spring fashions on Easter
Sunday was as gorgeous as a Dutch Tulip Gar
den.
The State Road Question—
from Col. Halbert.
The Atlanta Intelligencer of Wednesday
prints the annexed letter from Superintendent
Halbert to the Chairman of the Joint Commit
tee to investigate the condition of the State
Road upon two propositions—the one to transfer
the management of the State Road to the Leg-
islatue, and the other to sell two-thirds of it
Westeex & Atlantic Railboad, 1
Office Scfeeintenden-t, r
Atlanta, Ga, November 10, 1868.)
Son. 17. C. Smith, Chairman Joint Cam.:
Sm.—I have tho honor to acknowledge the
receipt of the preamble and resolution adopted
by your committee, relative to the removal of
tho management of the Western k Atlantic
Railroad ‘ 'beyond the reach of political influ
ences and complications,” and, in response to
the request therein contained, beg leave to sub
mit the following reflections as pertinent to the
question involved.
The two most prominent plans that have
been suggested and discussed are : •
Thn appointment of commisssioners by
the Legislature, empowered to appoint all offi
cers of the road. r -
2. The sale of two4hirds of the Road, the
State retaining one-third.
The first proposition cannot fail to strike the
Tu.-nd os impractible and entirely wanting in the
adaptation of means to ends, which is conceded
by all as absolutely necessary in conducting all
great works, both public and private, inasmuch
as it proposes to take from one man (the high
est officer known to our Constitution,) the au
thority now vested in him and transfer it to the
hands of three other persons, responsible only
to the Legislature.
Itia a simple proposition to transfer tho re
sponsibility from one man to that of an indefi
nite number.
Wherever, in the management of great works
of this kind, the experiment has been tried, it
has afforded a striking exemplification of the
folly of dividing authority and thereby shifting
the responsibility to a number of irresponsible
persons, who to say tho least, are rarely if ever
held to an accountability for any maladministra
tion that may have occurred dnring their term
of office.
The present laws governing tho road fix the
responsibility of tho management upon the Gov
ernor and the Superintendent selected by him.
The success of his administration os a whole de
pends more upon the successful administration
of thA road than all other causes combined.
He either stands or falls upon this question.
The people of Georgia have long since learn*
to judge of tho merits or demerits of an admin
istration by this test.
Tar-payers are keenly alive to their interests,
and it cannot, for a moment, be’supposed that
they will consent to abandon a plan which has
heretofore largely relieved them from taxation
and adopt a doubtful one.
The present plan fixes the responsibility upon
the Governor, where it properly belongs.
The appointment of throe or more commis
sioners by the legislature (a political body) sim
ply shifts the responsibility from the shoulders
of one man, in a position where every incentive
to honorable action and success in Ins adminis
tration imperatively demands of him a decided
to that of the control of parties who are
irresponsible to the people, and who, it is pre
sumed, in the absence of that direct personal
responsibility which is positively demanded in
the successful administration of public affairs,
would certainly be subjected to mnch greater
political influences than in the other case, there
by increasing, instead of diminishing the imag
inary evils sought to be avoided.
The present plan has been a success, has
largely relieved tne tax-payers, and been the
means of sustaining tho credit of the State.
This being the case, why abandon it and adopt
one of doubtful expediency ?
The second plan, that of selling two-thirds of
the road and the State retaining one-third, has
been tried in similar cases in other States, and
the results have proven anything but satifsetory.
In this case the interest held by tho State
would be subjected to the dictation and absolute
control of interested parties.
So long as the State retains any interest in
the road she should own it entire. Whenever a
State becomes a partner with individuals she
becomes a sufferer.
This brings us to a direct consideration of the
question, bow to remove the road from “politi
cal influences and oomph cations." So long as
it remains the property of the State, in whole or
in part, it will necessarily be more or less sub
jected to political influences.
A new administration, although of the same
political party as its immediate predecessor,
would naturally desire to surround itself with a
cabinet of its own selection. This is natural,
and is a right that is freely conceded by all par
ties. >
The Governor is responsible to the people for
tho proper management of tho road.
It is both just and proper that he should have
the appointment of the Superintendent, and he
in his turn the appointment of all his subordi
nate (cabinet) officers, holding the head of each
department responsible for the proper manage
ment of the same.
This insures a proper administration in each
department, and a direct aceonntability that can
be obtained in no other way.
These appointments assuming a political char
acter would seem to be at first objectionable,
bnt experience has not demonstrated that con
clusion, but, on the contrary, quite the reveise.
What great public work has been managed
more satisfactorily to its stockholders (the tax
payers) than the .Western & Atlantic Railroad ?
Of all the roads in the State, what^one can be
named that is in a better or more 'flourishing
condition, or what one whose prospects foT the
future are more flattering?
To sever the road completely and entirely
from political influences will necessitate the sale
of tho State's entire interest in it.
Are yon prepared to recommend this to the
people as the proper policy to be pursued, in
face of the fact that the road has for a long
term of years paid into the treasury annually
(despite political influences) a sum amounting
in the aggregate to hundreds of thousands, there
by relieving the tax-payers to that extent?
Ten years hence the gross earnings of the
road will in all probability exoeed six millions
per annum, and the net income be sufficient to
defray the expenses of your government, or, if
judiciously expended, sufficient to establish a
r im of freo schools in which every child of
State might receive at least a fair English
education.
Is it prudent or wise to jeopardize tho future
interest of the people by a policy of doabtfnl
expediency ?
The present policy has been a successful one.
Why endanger it?
I am, most respectfully, your obedient servant,
E. Hdlbebt.
Candor compels ns to say that we think Col.
Hnlbert is right upon both these propositions.
Long and dose observation has satisfied ns that
Legislative elections are the most corrupt pro
cesses known to onr political system—that Leg
islative government is the worst possible gov
ernment, and that Legislative administration is
the most wasteful, injudicious, inefficient and
vicious of ail administrations. We think the
partnership system also would result in a per
petual swindle upon the State. The only open
question is whether the State should not divest
herself of such property altogether, and sell out
the road entirely. As a general proposition,
wo believe State Governments should confine
themselves to the purposes for which they were
created, and when they undertake to run rail
roads or saw mills, or factories, or fisheries,
they are not only out of their proper sphere,
but most commonly make a muss of the busi
ness in one shape or another.
Upson, Pike an Monboe.—The Bamesvllle
Gazette says wheat and oats are looking very
finely in these counties, and notwithstanding the
Tir>u*uftl number of rainy days a fair propotion
of the com crop is planted. Mack, a corres
pondent of the Express pronounces a field of
eighty acres of wheat belonging to Blasingame
brothers, the finest in the State, and not to be
smpassed in Tennessee, Virginia or Kentucky.
Gen. R. D. Capebs.—We are indebted to the
Ladies Memorial Association of Putnam county
for a pamphlet copy of an address delivered be
fore that association by Gen. Capers, on the
18th of April last.
Uxivebsett or Virginia.—A catalogue of this
institution just received shows that it has 452
students.
The late steamboat conflagration at St. Louis
involved losses to the aggregate amount of
1510,000.
Health mad Economy Again,
Editors Telegraph.—The reading public were
doubtless amused at the appearance of two ar
ticles in this morning's issue of the Telegraph,
rasping Quidam, whose name appears under
an article in the papers of yesterday..
“Young Enterprise” insinuates that Quidam
is the organ of the Mulberry street ticket, and
attacks that ticket through him. Quidam begs
leave to state that he is identified in no way
whatever with the Mulberry street ticket. He
lives in the country, and is simply “a looker-on
in Venice.” “Young Enterprise” boasts that
“ground will bo broken long before the au
tumn winds of ISC9 have breathed upon us,”
while, on another page a regular nominee of
this burlesque ticket on health and economy
tells the pnblic “we can afford to let tho swamp
question remain in abeyance.” Quidam passes
by Young Enterprise without further comment,
as the people know what Young Enterprise
means on “All Fools’ Day.’
As to the other article, the gentleman dashes
into the fight with an unknown enemy with all
the gallantry of a volunteer, and while we ad
mire his pluck, we regret that his judgment is
so extremely poor, or that he is so badly blind
ed by resentment.
He tells the people that “ the contemplated
improvement of tho City Hall, at the time
Messrs. Woodruff’s plan was drawn, was $36,-
400 in round numbers, and adroitly conceals the
fact that this plan was rejected by a committee
from the grand jury and the city, as it would
not be sufficient to accommodate the people,
and the plan of Mr. Wilson adopted, as “ the
cheapest and bestand Mr. Wilson’s approxi
mate estimate of cost was $70,000, not including
the cost of the removal of the market-house.
Quidam has not seen Messrs.- Woodruff’s
plan, and reluctantly accepts the Torsion given.
But lie has seen Messrs. Woodruff's plan of the
jail, and the cost of that is $55,000; and tax
payers can easily approximate the relative cost
of a jail and the enlargement of the City Hall
The gentleman tells ns that “the City Hall is
located where it may be seen from every road
leading into the city,” and there it will remain
in “statu quo.” The gentleman wants
splendid tower” on the City Hull, and Quidam
wonts to know, if it is so conspicuous as to be
seen from all parts of the city, then why this
second Babel!
The gentleman urges as an argument in favor
of the City Hall that, “ten thousand people can
hear onr pnblic orators.” Quidam has no ob
jection to such assemblages at the City Hall, but
his idea of a Court-house is, it is a place where
justice should be administered calmly, quietly
and firmly, and wants no demagogical harangues
or political gerrymandering there.
The gentleman denounces the Bite on Mulber
ry street as unhealthy, and emphatically declares
that any board of health would “denounce the
site in unmeasured terms.” No local cause
can be shown for sickness, unless gentlemen
think that the pure cold water to be carried
through the building to remove all garbage will
breed sickness. If so, will the gentleman pro
pose an antidote ? What does he think of the
healing efficacy of a little swamp mod? The
gentleman asks, “how mnch land comes in the
shape of a donation?” Quidam gives facts which
he can substantiate: 1st. Tho lot on the corner
of Mulberry and Second streets, known as the
Grantland Lot, with a front of about 104 fe$t
and 3 inches on Mulberry street, and 60 feet on
Second. 2d. Tho lot adjoining on Second street
known os the L C. Plant Lot, with a front of
about 30 feet on Second street, and uniform
depth with the first.
3d. Fonrteen feet front, and same depth as
above of the Weed lot adjoining Plant's,making
104 feet and three inches on Mulberry street,
and the same on Second street
For the information of the public Quidam
would state that the old building committee
have an agreement scaled and delivered, obli
gating to sell to Bibb county any more land
it may need from the vacant land adjoining, at
nominal price.
This “health and economy ticket” of which
the gentleman is a member, comes out boldly
on the swamp question, and tells the people
‘we can afford to bear the swamp question in
abeyance-”
Gentlemen, yon have shown your clocen foot
at last You had better leave this swamp
question in abeyance, for it is muddy from the
start, and the less it is stirred the bettor for
the reputation of some gentlemen. Quidam.
