The Constitutionalist publishes, under the
head of “A Novel View,” a communication from
a correspondent, who maintains that the late
Supreme Court eligibility decision cannot poesi-
bly apply to the Legislature, and to seats there
in, became it has been decided that a seat in
the Legislature is not “an office.” All that may
be. It is as good as ret adjudicate, at all
events.
Bat the objection we have to all this legal in
genuity is that it is entirely misplaced. It
might do in the case of the cracked kettle lxi-
fore the magistrate of a militia beat,thongh even
then we should sigh for the straight-forward
dealing of onr old friend, Ben Chaires, of the
. County Court. lie had the case of a man-who
had borrowed a mnle, and ridden it to death,
under advisement, and when the lawyers set
upon him with their quibbles, and insisted upon
filing demurrers, his judicial decision was an
nounced with more vigor than professional pro
priety : “Damn yonr demurrers,"saidhe—“the
man killed the mnle, and, by all the powers, he
shall pay for the mnle.” So, on the whole,‘areI
don’t like their qnibbles, even in a mnle <
• Bat when yon come to apply them to a great
constitutional question, affecting the alleged
constitutional rights of about half a million peo
ple, they look very much like fighting V<
with a penny squirt. The rule of reason, fair
ness, equity, sound policy and common
in this case is the golden rule. We don't like
negro eligibility; lmt if they are eligible, give
them the game chanco yon would claim for your
selves and which Congress means they shall
have. Don't attempt to fight this fire with
the brush of legal quibbles. Yon won’t stop it
in that way, and will simply born yonr own fin
gers, Yon will lose character abroad and influ
ence at home, and gain nothing. Bat accept
the decision fully, in all its fair and legitimate
consequences, and then shape yonr action to
mitigate damagos os ranch os possible.
This is the true course. Every man knows how
the whites of Georgia would regard all thoso quib
bles if set np against white representation in the
Legislature to nnllify a decision of tho Supremo
Court affirming its legslity. And precisely that
rule should we apply to this case.
Asia vs. Africa.
John Chinaman has already been dragged
neck and lioels into politics in Fennaylvanin.
The North American (Radical) having recom
mended superceding American with Chinese
labor, in the Pennsylvania coal mines, in order
to got rid of strikes, the Age appeals to the
“toiling masses” against a proposition which
will turn American labor adrift to starvo |
of striking. The North American is defiant and
reiterateslhe oounscl. The Age thunders furi
ously in rejoinder. Tho “question is before tho
people.” The coal men and iron masters, as
they call them, are squinting towards China in a
most sinister manner. If they can got plenty of
“protection to American labor,” and at the
samo timo employ Coolies at half price, It will
be a fine thing.
Now the curtain rises. Asia, in dno timo,
will distance Africa as a “disturbing element
and there is another vexed question to be set
tled— lint, thank God, not altogether at Soulh-
* cm expense. Asia is going to throw Africa into
tho shade. Asia stretches out her hands to
“Melican men,” and says, “Am I not, too, a
man and a brother!” Come along, Johnny,
since yon will come.
Tux UxiTXRarrx or Nasavnxx was founded in
1784, by the Stale of North Carolina, and en
dowed with lands in the neighborhood of Nash
ville, now within tho city, the rise in tho vnlne
of which has placed her among the wealthiest
institutions of the nation and secured her per-
•roanent prosperity. She was created indepen
dent of Chnrch or Stato, but has in her long and
successful career benefited both.- Her avowed
. mission was to elevate tho lowly, give strength
to the feeble and to polish tho strong and vigo
rous. While her Faculties have had to rely
mainly upon fees for support, none of them
over turned away from an ambitions young man
because he was poor, but, on the contrary, al
ways gave him the hand of-kindness and encour
agement, making the fame of his after years
add lustre to her renown.
The graduates of her various departments are
familiar with tho high positions throughout the
Southern country. Her medical department
alone has had between four apd fivo thousand
young men in her classes, having enjoyed, to an
unexampled extent, the confidence of tho pro
fession in the former slave-holding States. This
department is in a better condition to deserve
well of the public than ever, having greatly in
creased the means of illnstration and also the
facilities for studying ujjnical medicine and
surgery.
As IMTOKTAUT iMTBOVXJCEcr TO THX PoWXE
Loom.—The Herald chronicles an important im
provement to the power loom, which onr manu
facturers will have to look into. It is in the shut
tle, which is driven by a new contrivance, which
moves it by the application of a steady mechani
cal power, so that it can be driven any distance
and stopped at any point, thus securing a uni
form selvedge any width oL fabric desired—
avoiding clatter and danger and saving power in
running the loom. It is called Lyall's positive
motion.
The Hearth and Home.—This popular paper
begins with No. 30 a vary interesting tale, under
the title of “The Romance of a Rich Young
Girl,” by the author of “The Romance of a
Poor Young Man,” with illustrations engraved
in Paris expressly for the Hearth k Home.
Petting*]l, Bates k Co.,. 37 Park Row, New
York.
Decrease or the Neoroes.—Dr. Robertson, a
distinguished physician of Texas, informs the
Galveston News, that he has taken pains to
keep a record of the vital statistics of Washing
ton county, and the result shows that while the
white population has increased in the usual ra
tio, the negroes have diminished in number
nearly ten per cent, per inimm in the past four
years.
Crops on the Line op the Georgia Railroad.
The Hancock Journal of the 9th instant says:
We have recently traversed the entire line of
the Georgia Railroad, and judging from what
vre saw by the way—the crope between Milledge-
ville and Warr^nton are at least 23 per cent
ahead df any we saw.
New Cotton.—New Texas cotton i n the seed,
was sold in Bro—rillr on the 11th nit., at four
cents per pound in specie.
No FaWDCE.—Splendid showers all around us,
«nj a fine one in town yesterday evening.
Otr correspondent's report of the Tourna
ment at Perry has been anticipated.
“How Georgia Shoxld A*t”
Our friend of the Savannah Republican, hav
ing been engaged in a passage-at-anna with the
Bainbridge Argus, upon certain religious ques
tions, hauls off to repair damages in much dis
gust. He says it is “not pleasant to discuss grave
moral questions that involve the good of society
and where much of its welfare depends upon
their proper solution, with those who persist in
placing yon in a false position.” But in the
very next one of his ooltunns, as if to illustrate
the blindness and perversity of human nature,
he proceeds to assail that portion of the Georgia
press who arc willing to quiet matters, by giving
effect to the Supreme Court eligibility decsion,
as the advocates not only of an unbnrful policy,
but cowardly and truckling and timid coun
sellors. .
We think the public must hold him to his con
troversy with the Bainbridge Argus, unless he
will give a better illnstration of his own firmness
and candor in debate than he has done here.
I We will offset his fnlminations by a very short
extract from the Richmond Enquirer, just after
the late election in Virginia. The Enquirer
was about the last of the Virginia prints to come
into the support of the new Constitution, which
gives negroes voles and the right to hold office,
and that paper says:
1 Animated by a detire to terminate the ruin-
inth Covgrett,
! accepted thix
hito vote have
probably been cast for it, and it is adopted by a
majority of perhaps a hundred and fifty thou
sand.”
Does the Republican pronounce the Virgin
ians timid, cowardly and truckling?
■ That paper says, “Why the mott that Congress
can do is to reinstate the negroes for us, and
how much worse shall we be ?” This much
worse—that having invited a legal arbitrament
of the right of the negroes to hold office, the
whol Antsido world will charge that wo evaded
the effect of the decision, until compelled by
Congress to accept it
' Bat who told the Republican that was the
most Congress can do? Who has given him in
formation on this point ? Congress cannot con
stitutionally interfere to reseat the negroes, and
yet the Republican concedes Congress will pro
bably do it. Congress, too, most unfortunately,
holds that they can disfranchise and disqualify
by imposing teatoaths, and practically they hold
that no State of the South is “loyal” and fit for
the Union, which does not vote the radical
ticket If we, in Georgia, are wise we will not
needlessly incur the hazards of another recon
struction on any slight grounds—and whether
that is “timid counsel” or “sensible counsel,
wo leave the people of Gooigia to determine
for themselves.
From Balter and Decatur Counties.
The Bainbridge Sun of the 8th instant says:

late yesterday evening. We did not learn their

A letter from the Editor in Baker county
aayx: ‘ 1
It is truly a beautiful sight—one upon which
the eye delights to linger—to behold the beanti-
ful com fields that adorn the land. Well may
the farmer’s heart dance with joy as he gazes
exultingly upon the broad acres teeming with
;olden grain. The refreshing showers, that
lave recently gladdened the parched earth, has
ensured him a rich harvest of grain.
Cotton is doing finely. General “Green,
favored and revived by the kindly showers ra
pidly advances upon the snowy staple, and will
not readily fall down at the biding of the freed-
man, armed with deadly hoe and formidable
i flow. He disputes gallantly every inch of soil,
dnch alarm prevails among the planters at his
obstinacy.
A Baser county letter from tho Bainbridge
Algos of the 10th says:
Very heavy rains have passed over portions of
this county within the last few days; many farms
have had too much rain, and some crops have
been damaged by severe winds. Quite a storm
visited the plantations of J. 0. Lark, F. D. Kea
and others on the 30th of June, prostrating an
immense number of trees in the com and cotton.
Crops aro doing well; rather too mnch rain
for cotton; but the prospect for a large com
crop is seldom better than now—in fact, all the
oldest com is now nearly made.
Bainbridge and Cuthbert Railroad.—Tho
Argus his been informed that the Cuthbert Rail
road will cross the Flint half a mile below the
city, at what is known os the Barge Yard. The
land thereat, and to a considerable distance from
the river, is the property of tho President
Sweedlsh Oals-Nlxty Bushels .to the
Acre. .
The Columbus Enquirer of Saturday prints a
note from Charles A. Peabody about his new
variety of oats, as follows:
Editor Celumbut Enquirer:—Yon no donb,
remember yon, with many other gentlement
were looking at my Bamsdale Sweedish Oats.
They were then suffering from a long drowth,
not a drop of rain having fallen on them for
r weeks. “ - - -
Tntand Voters,

Tho Grand Jury
their late General Presentments, make this
showing:
We desire (o call especial attention to the
state of the Poll Tax of the county, and to tho
greaLdeficiency in its collection. Wo find
White Polls, returned for 1868. 1,381
Colored Polls, retumod for 1868 231
' 1,612
White Foils returned as defaulters. 120
Colored Polls returned as defaulters...1,321-1,443
Aggregate 3,033
Tho Collector informs ns that he is satisfied
there are two hundred white and two thousand
colored who have voted that aro not on tho books,
and see* no war, as the law is at present, to
them there, as they seem to havo no abid
place exoept for a few days at election times
in fact, it is needless to increase tho names oi
the books, for at least two thirds of tho colored
now on them cannot be collected, as they can
not be found at collecting timo.
In view of this stato of facts, this Grand Jnry
think tMlkai who Mn to vote to oantrol
the Government shonld be compelled to pay at
least a Poll Tax for its support, and we see no
other remedy for even partial equal rights in the
Government than to have all voters to pay be
fore they vote.
The Constitution prescribes that “no poll tax
shall bo levied exoept for educational purposes,
and such tax shall not exoeed one dollar annual,
ly on each poll." Tho Constitution further
prescribes as a qualification for suffrage to every
voter that he “shall havo pud all taxes which
may havo been required of him, and which he
may have had tho opportunity of paying, agree
ably to law, for tho year next preceding tho
“Last year, by executive proclamation, the
operation of the latter danse of tho Constitu
tion vat tuipended, on tho ground that poll tax
claims were about to be enforced against tho
negroes which had accrued under tho Constitu
tion of 1865, and exceeded inamount thelimita-
tion laid down in the Constitution of 1868; but
it is hardly to bo presumed that the experiment
of tutpending the Conttitvtion by Ezeeutiee Pro
clamation will bo often repeated. It is possible
that tho negroes wore not legally liable to more
than one dollar tax, and tho prodamation of the
Governor should have been directed merely
the limitation of tho tax.
Now it is of primo importance to overy coun
ty that a dose and accurate poll tax list should
appear upon the Tax Receiver's books. This
he can make ont from tho poll lists, if he cannot
get them in any other way, and the tax collector
should be-represented at every polls from the
timaof opening to the time of dosing, to see that
no man votes whoso name does not appear on
the tax list credited with his dollar, or who
not ready to have it entered there in that shape.
This is about tho only protection against fraud
ulent voting and it shonld be enforced with sys
tem and rigor.
In An Unreasonable Stood.
Our friends of the Augusta Chronicle & Sen
tinel seem to have got into an unreasonable
mood about Turner, tho colored Postmaster
Macon- Repeating and adhering to their pre
vious statements, made upon the authority of
special U. S. Deputy Marshal, they go on to say
To the Macon Telegraph, which seems to have
so earnestly espoused the cause of its new Post
master, and to believe implidtly the denial
which it has sought from him, we would state
that we are perfectly willing that it should re
ceive for gospel the word of a man, whom
its own columns, not many months since, ex
posed as a falsifier and incendiary. TS’e confess,
however, that we, ourselves, are not yet "quite
prepared to accept the simple denial of a party
accused of a crime as conclusive evidence with
regard to his innocence. At every session
our courts we find thieves who plead not guilty
to the crime, for the commission of which they
are subsequently convicted. In the meantime
we await farther developments.
To which we have simply to say, in answer,
that we gave Turner’s statement only for what
it was worth, and aimed at nothing but the facts,
as a matter of public information. That Turn
er could not have been arrested in Macon and
carried off in irons, as the Chronicle and Senti
nel stated, and nobody here know anything
about it, was quite dear, and the reiteration of
the statement cannot make it credible. It would
have been folly in us to have printed the Chron
icle's story, in the face of such manifest error,
without some effort to get at the facts; and no
source of information was, at the time, accessi
ble, but Turner himself, who was here, at large,
while represented by the Chronicle as a prison
er in Atlanta. To charge us with “espousing
the cause” of Turner, because we printed his
account of himself is an expedient not worthy
the Chronicle's inteKgence and candor. Upon
the same principle we might just as reasonably
be charged with complicity with every rogue or
rascal allowed a hearing in his own defence.—
Let the Chronicle keep oooL Possibly we may
get at the facts in this business in dne time.
They may be very serious.

It was the opinion of all the
ties examining, that tho crop had lost
l tho par-
one-half,
even if it goCrain plenty now. The day after
yon were here we had a fine rain, with frequent
showers ever since. These rains brought out
the crop wonderfully. I have cut the oats, and
get from the ten acre field six hundred bushels
of clean oats. Had the rains come three weeks
sooner I would have got one hundred bushels to
the acre. They have proved to be rust proof,
as one portion of the field in which tho oats
grew was in wheat, which was entirely destroyed
jy rust. I send yon a sample of the oats, the
product of one seed.
In reference*to the sample of oats sent, the
Enqnirer says:
The oats sent ns are fully six feet in height,
with long and full heads. We could not well
count tho stalkB, bat there are not less than fifty
that grew from a single seed. We aro told that
“Carter had oats," bat if ho had as manv os
Peabody, and grew them on no greater area,
he had good cause to be boastful of his crop.
