TAB CONSTITUTION.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, AUGUST 16.
Welcome! Welcome!!
We extend a cordial welcome to the dele-
gaiea to the Agricultural Convention, tbe
Convention of the people, without distinc
tion of party, to assemble.on tbe 16tb, and
to tbe delegates to tbe Democratic Conven
tion, which meets on tbe 17tb.
Tbe elements which will compose these
conventions are representative of almost
every Interest in tbe State. We predict
that much good will result from tbeir de
liberations. Each, and all or tbem, are in
vited to avail themselves or tbe privileges
of the editorial room of Tbe Constiittiok,
where we tender tbem free access to our
exchanges. _____
far Men who pretend to be friends of
freedom, who stalk about tbe country with
tbe canteen of a rebel occupant of a bomb
proof on one shoulder and a haversack full
of Radical sweetmeats on tbe other, are not
worthy of the respect of any honest man.
Their counsels are dishonest Their con
duct is that of burglar’s who would break
into a sleeping jnan’s house and then mur
der him to escape. Their presence in a de
cent community is offensive to every hon
orable man’s olfactories.
gcjpTtm members of the Democratic
convention cannot be two careful how they
utter their thoughts, for the Governor .and
the superintendent of the State Road will
have their short-hand writers on hand to
take down any imprudent expressions that
may be uttered, and money will be at hand
to pay for telegraphing perversions of the
sentiments of the speakers to the North
every day.
Tbe congressional elections are very
heated and active at tbe North, and the
prospects of the Democratic candidates may
be much damaged by telegrams from Geor
gia. Our enemies know this.
A Significant Rumor.
It Is rumored that certain corrupt poli
ticians propose to manipulate members of
the Democratic Convention, with the view
of inducing some of them to offer or advo
cate extreme measures, which can be made
use of in the North and elsewhere to the
damage of the people of Georgia. It is said
that the corruptionists will give large sums
to those who, in resolutions or speeches,
will threaten violence to Republicans, and
advocate extreme measures of every sort,
or lu any way divide the friends of an
honest State administaalion upon issues of
no practical importance, in the coming
election of Congressmen and members of
tbe General Assembly.
Our Watchwords—Honesty and
Economy.
Those opposed to tlie reckless and un
principled men who arc abusing official
authority have, in the waste of public
money aione, as good campaign material as
they want. Tax-payers out of office are
not ail finds. This class of community
who honestly labor for nil they get, will
■tolerate plunder and waste in no man en
trusted witli power. tVc care not what is
:a man’s party designation or affinities,
when you come to rob the sweat of its re
wards he is against you. Can an honest
Radical find any excuse for the shame
ful per diem which the Georgia Legisla
ture has voted itself ? Will the friend of
fair-dealing, or the men opposed to down
right robbery, cover up or extenuate the
suppression of all reports upon the finan
-eta! condition of the State Road f Will he
say the thousand shameful items of extra
ordinary expense, printer’s bills, clerical
pay, ami what not are justitiahle or to be
longer tolerated f No, be will not, for all
-sensible men must see that profligacy and
-sinister aims snch as rule the day must
lead to ruin- No man, no State, no Em
pire can stand up under the domination ot
a corrupt passion for reckless expenditure.
Will not the Convention, which meets to
day, denounce the ruinous extravagance
of tiic party in power, and take an appeal
on that issue to the people.
To all Parties In tlie Legislature.
There are signs of cliquelsm and ring
jobbing in the General Assembly which
look forbidding and argues trouble for tbe
future. We appeal to every member who
has the good of Georgia at heart, to look
upon every project for private or corporate
advantage witli scrutinizing severity. We
-would not, ourselves, in tiic financial con
dition of the State at this time, vote one
dollar for anything like a railroad—no, not
If It took people to the New Jerusalem.
This is no time to think about internal im
provement, when tlie whole State Is going
to perdition. But if we cannot wait, and
men feel about their roads as they used to
do about tbeir first sweetheart, you must
have her now or never, then let members
look well to the guarantees. Our statute
book abounds with tbe right sort of prece
dents. We are in no want of guides teach
ing us what would be the safest conditions
upon which we could lend tbe creditor tbe
State to railroad corporations. If private
Individuals will construct the first twenty
smiles as a bonus, then tbe State might
Send herselfisay *8,000 per mile for iron ;and
■by moving along in this way, twenty
miles at a stage, we could open
np to commerce every sealed portion
-of our territory as soon as was wanted.
But even to this extent we regard it as
-risky, and extensively so in these times.
We are sadly in need of safe men to take
charge of public trusts. The people lack
confidence—that trust in public agents
which makes the people willing and
prompt to co-operate in measures of pub
lic benefit. And well they may lack con
fidence. Tbe juggles that have given an
eternal memory and infamy to the last live
years would wake suspicion and distrust
. in the most impulsive and confiding na
tures. If men will not be influenced by
<the higher and nobler motives of the hu
man heart, let them get the benefit of the
•conservatism of selfishness and look to
their own interests. We mnst pay tlie
taxes, foot the bills and bear tbe brunt oi
ail the losses of miscarriage in enterprises
that do not pay and are not faithfully ad
ministered.

Mass Meeting in Union Connty.
In response to the call, the people to-day,
irrespective of party, assembled in the
Court-house at Blairsville, in said connty
of Union, in considerable mass, in which
Democrats and Republicans mingled freely
together and acted with entire harmony.
The meeting was larger than is usually
held in said county, and was called to or
der by Colonel John S. Fain, who nomina
ted March Addington, Sr., as chairman of
the meeting, and N. B. Hill was requested
to act as secretary. The object of the
meeting being explained in a brief and
pointed manner by Colonel John S. Fain,
on motion of Colonel Thomas M. Hughes,
the following named gentlemen were ap
pointed a committee on resolutions, to wit:
Co'onel John S. Fain, Captain Thomas J
Butt, Henry Hughes, Doctor E. G. Crump,
and N. B. Hill, which committee, after re
tiring for the space of half an hour, reported
the following preamble and resolutions,
which were adopted:
Whereas, The Congress of the United
States did, at its last session, pass an act
which was approved on the 15tb day of
July, 1870, in wh'ch it was declared that
the .State of Georgia, having complied with
the reconstruction acts of Congress, and by
a legal Legislature, ratified articles 14 and
15 of amendments to the constitution of the
United States, and is the.efore entitled to
representation in Congress; and
Whereas, The said act contains a proviso
to the effect that neither this nor any other
act ol Congress shall be so construed as to
deny to the people of this State their right
to hold an election according to the con
stitution thereof, nor so as to effect the
term of any officer appointed, nor any
member of the Legislature elected under
said constitution; and
Whereas, There are certain persons now
seeking to pervert the true meaning and
Intent of said act of Congress, by endeav
oring to secure the passage of resolutions
by the General Assembly now in session,
to |>ost|K>ne the election till after tbe meet
ing of Congress and to repeal, all election
laws now existing in this State; and
Whereas, The attempt thus to deprive
the people of this State of tbeir rights se
cured by the aforesaid act of Congress, and
i lie constitution of Georgia, is opposed by
the great mass of tbe citizens of Union
county of ail political parties, as a measure
contrary alike to the true meaning and in
tent of the act of Congress, tbe constitu
tion of tbe State of Georgia, and tbe plain
understanding of the parties at the time of
the election and subversive of tbe
peace and welfare of tbe citizens of the
Commonwealth; and
Whereas, The citizens of Union county
regardless of past political differences,
moved by a common interest and peril,have
■net together for the purpose of protesting,
in the name of justice, liberty, good faitb
and free government, againstany interfer
ence by the General Assembly with tbe
guaranteed rights of tbe people: be it
therefore
Resolved, That we heartily indorse and
approve said act of Congress, and most un
hesitatingly reprobate tlie course of those
members of the General Assembly who are
seeking'the passage ol resolutions post
poning an election beyond the time pre
scribed by the constitution, tbe effect of
which is to continue themselves in office in
defiance of the people.
Resolved, That, ignoring past political
difforeuces, we unite as citizens ot Union
county,in order to secure tlie rights of our
people in holding an election on Tuesday
after the first Monday in November next.
Resolved, That we, as citizens of Union
county, regardless of political differences,
in the nameof justice and free government,
protest against any member elect, from the
eounty of Union, usiDg their influence in
the passage of any resolution or law tend
ing In any way to deprive the people of
their right to hold an election on Tuesday
after the first Monday in November next.
Resolved, Tnat in tbe opinion of this
meeting any attempt upon tht part of the
General Assembly to deprive tbe people of
their right to hold an election in November
next, is an act of usurpation unwarranted
by the acts of Congress, and a palpable
violation of the conatitution of the State
of Georgia, which they have sworn to
That it was tbe express under
standing, at.tbe time of tbe election in 1868,
that the term for which representatives
were elected would expire in 1870, and any
attempt of any member to prolong his
term beyond that period U a violation of
good faith and of the trust confided to him
by his constituents, and renders him un
worthy the support and confidence of a free
anil confiding people.
Resolved, That tbe Hon. C. J. Wellborn
and J. V. Smith be appointed delegates to
represent Union county in the convention
to be held in Atlanta on tbe 17th day of
August, 1870.
Resolved, That The Constitution, a pa
per published in tbe city ot Atlanta, be
furnished with a copy of these resolutions
and requested to publish the same, and that
the Air-Line Eagle be requested to copy
the same.
On motion of T. J. Haralson, tbe meet
ing then adjourned.

tory, for believing that the passage of this
measure will result in an impression upon
the public mind unfriendly to Atlanta.
Would Atlanta take the trouble to notice
the votes of Senators on this question, and
inquire into their positions on the removal
question, and also ascertain the effect being
had upon those at a distance who have felt
satisfied with the present location, he will
find, we think, conclusive evidence against
his assertion.
Since friends of the measure seem to
claim no other benefit to the State than set
tling the removal question, and since the in
fluence produced by its passage, either for
or against removal, cannot change the stat
us of the capital, the whole matter seems
to resolve itself into the question of unnec
essary expenditure. Observer.
Moderation in Councils.
Editors Constitution: The victory is glo
rious. Counsel our people not to allow the
exuberance of tbeir spirit to lead tbem
into any excesses. Let’s show the world
that even in victory we are moderate. Al
low uotbiDg, not even the outrages and
enormities of Bullock and bis clan to goad
us into any impropriety whatever.
Let wisdom, justice, and moderation be
our guide. We are in a fair way to oust
the thieves and robbers of the people;
therefore guard carefully against anything
that might, in tbe most remote way, mar
our prospects. Democrats, encouraged by
small majorities io tbe past, have been guil
ty of some very foolish indiscretions. The
Democratic press can wield a potent influ
ence in preventing a repetition of it. No
matter what Bullock and his menials may
say and do to precipitate Democrats into
acts that might be construed as obnoxious
to the public good, let us remain firm and
patient, and rely upon tbe ballot-box for
ustice and right.
The Republicans who have ignored the
potency of the parly lash, and have man-
rally stood by the people and set tbeir faces
and used their votes and influence against
the infamous measures that were intended
to deprive the people of the right to vote,
deserve wfell ot the country. They have
differed from us on other questions, but ou
this great measure of tbe (icople’s sover
eignty they were right, and right under
difficulties, many fail to appreciate. There
fore, I do think it but au act of justice
without reference to any other matter, for
the people of those connties who are repre
sented by these honest Republicans to send
them back withoutdistinctlon of party. It
is such a rare thing in these days of Radi
cal rule and ruin for public men to do tbeir
duty, that wlieri a case is found it ought to
be noted, and the hottest official rewarded
with further trust.
Excuse this trespass on space that is pre
cious to the people of Georgia; but allow
me to say again, in conclusion, counsel
peace, quiet, obedienceto the lew. Let the
election of 1870 be more orderly than any
irevious election. Let our acts give the
ie to the truduccrs ol Georgia’s good
name. Actions truly speak louder than
words. Let ours be unmistakable in their
tone, that even Benj F. Butler, the apostle
of Governor Bullock. Mr. Tweedy and
others, cannot say the reverse. Let us
show the world we are worthy of trust, and
that peace, econmy and prosperity are the
result of our rule.
God grant Georgia peace, and an honest
and national enjoymentof her great victo
ry-, as well as a sale and eternal deliverance
from the horde of vampires and political
mountebanks who now infest and disgrace
her. Cabtehsville.

Relative Profits of Cotton and Corn
The following very sinsible letter, writ
ten by one of our citizens to the New York
Economist, is clipped from that paper:
Rone, Ga., July 23,1870.
To the Editor of the U. S. Economist :
Dear Sir—In your issue of the 18th
instant, in an article headed “The Growing
Cotton Crop,” you say that a “ planter can
buy very nearly ten acres of corn with
the proceeds of a single acre of cotton, and
there is no good reason why he should not
do it” The man who wrote this certainly
never raised cotton, or even lived in a cot
ton growing section. Allow me to give
you a few facts in the case: The land in
this section of country (Cherokee Georgia)
which is generally considered above the
average in quality.'will not produce, on an
average, more than one-half bale of 600
pounds lint cotton to the acre, which, at
the present price. 18c for good cotton, in
this market, would be *45. Now the same
land will yield 20 bushels of corn, on the
average, per acre, which, at the present
S i-ice here, SI 55 per bushel, makes 837
lultiplv this bv ten. your estimate, and it
gives 8310 Difference in what one thinks
and another knows, $265. Knowing the
above statements to be correct, don’t you
think an editor South would fall far short
of his duty did he not deplore the excessive
planting of cotton ?
There is another thing to be considered.
You think, and so it seems to me must
every thinking man, that cotton must be
much lower in price the coming season,
which will make the matter worse.
Let me give you the picture of a planter
who last year raised cotton exclusively.
His plantation growing crop, and not nn-
frequently stock, is all mortgaged to com
mission merchants to raise money to buy
corn and other necessaries. He pays for
the use of this money 2 per cent, interest
and principal payable when be sells his
cotton. With this he buys corn at SI 55,
he can make money raising for SI, and ba
con at 21c, he can raise at a profit oflGc^etc.
Should disaster befall his cotton crop, as
Is by no means improbable, such as army
worm or rust, he is a broke msn. This 19
an over true report of every cotton planter.
Your man makes good figures, but his re
marks show a woful want of practical
knowledge of the subject.
Yours, Henry C. Norton.

Richmond Air-line Railway Company will no

D. W Lewis, Secretary of the Georgia State Agricul
tural Society: Dear Sir—To encourage our young
ladles to cook, as well as to learn other habits of
house-keeping. I propose to fix np one or those
unrivaled, extended top-monitor cook stoves,
worth £15, (which can now be seen nt my store on

To avoid controversy, each one will be expected

A Strong Indictment.—At the Repub
lican meeting on Friday night an address to
Governor Bollock was adopted, which brings a
strong indictment against the Superintendent of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad and Governor
Bollock. The address charges that “Mr. Blodgett
has of late years squeezed himself into the ranks
—not ol the Union army, for he left Augusta with
the other army—of the Republican party, since
tbe close of the war. About election time he is fnll
of specious promises. Has a single promise been
fulfilled? How many colored men hold positions
on the State Road higher than brakesman or car
sweeper? One man who belongs to the Blodgett
ring has his sons, who are professed Democrats,
on the road, and not content, he has his nephews
there. Should female suffrage prevail In Georgia
be would make application fer positions lor his
daughters and nieces. Search the road from At
lanta to Chattanooga and a trne Republican can
not be found employed on it. Yon must be a
member ot the Blodgett ring, a professing Re
pub i-an, bnt a believing Democrat, or yonr
chances are not good. V. A. Gasklll, a Democrat
ic de egate to the Seymour and Blair Convention,
in 1868, is Blodgett’s private and confidential
cltrk. Ir be was true to the Republicans wonld
be employ such men ms Varney Gaskill, Pike
Hill, and other lesser Democratic lights to assist
him ?
There is not a better or trner Republican than
Governor Bullock, yet we cannot olass his Excel
lency, like Cmsar’s wife, above suspicion in deal
ing forth all things ler tbe public good.
As a governing, political man, in some instan
ces, be bus lacked that erergy amt self-indepen-
denco which slu-uld characterize his position,
lie is a weU-intcnliosed men, hut somehow ho
bas got under the Influence or Blodgett and his
ring. We respectfully ask ofhlm, in thenameof
the Republicans of Georgia, who expect to bestow
on him tbe same honors in INIS that he now
enjoys, to act independent of Blodgett and his
ring.”
Siu-h is the indictment found by a Republican
Jury, composed of colored men and whites,
against twoof'lieir leaders. T he people will pro
ceed to enter up j I'dgraent nd pass Anal cntence
on the accused on the Sth day of November next.

rhe Opera House Again.
Editors Constitution—Dear Sirs : In your
issue of Sunday morning, “Atlanta” is on
tbe line of compromise between the parties
for and against tha two monstrous meas
ures before the Legislature last week. He
is not willing to go the “whole hog,” pro
nor con. Now, the preference between
them is about the same as that which exists
between money and franchise. Truly, the
latter U sometimes called the “dearest right
of freemen.” but lor people not exactly
free, and bordering on bankruptcy with
all. unnecessary taxation has no charms,
to say the least of it.
The assertions of “Atlanta,” that well-
wishers to Atlanta will not opposs the
Opera House purchase, and that this trans
action will “settle the question of removal,”
are not sustained by facts or reason.
In an article for your paper last week,
we took positions exactly opposite to these,
and facts have constantly accumulated
since that time going to establish their
correctness. The insinuation that no
friend of Atlanta is opposed to the purchase
is disproved beyond controversy by con
sulting our own wishes on this subject
For many years a citizen of Atlanta, we
have always exulted in her prosperity, and
now, as ever heretofore, anxiously diesire
the capitol of the State permanently located
here. We have reasons,also entirely natiifim-
ried away by the police of the 14th arron-
dissment One fell instantly dead ; others
seriously wounded. Physicians report lit
tle hope of the recovery of two of them. A
little girl was also killed by a stray ball.
The police, led by their officers, imme
diately arrested the ring leader and four
accomplices. The population co-opcrated
with enthusiasm, and voluntarily made
other arrests. The gqns taken from the
firemen have been recaptured. The weap
ons abandoned by the insurgents have also
been seized. A call to arms being mado a
goodly number of the National Guards got
together, who, with the aid of the citizens,
contributed much to the establishment of
good order. The police made great efforts
to protect the prisoners from public indig
nation.
Daring the evening two persons
were taken whom Studuct pointed out
as Boulevard and St. Michael. They car
ried daggers identical with those seized on
Boulevard Vilette. They offered resistance
and refused to answer questions at first.
After S o'clock Boulevard Villette resumed
its usual quiet. A crowd of from 300 to
400 persons continued to search for rioters,
and manifested tbe highest indignation.
At a quarter past six o'clock other parties
made an attack on the sentries at the same
station. Two men were arrested by the
national guard and locked np in the bar
racks. Peaters will be brought before a
court martial to-day.
The Empress has sent a letter of condo
lence and aid to the parents of the girl who
was killed.
Almost every war developes or brings to
the surface one or more great soldiers, who
either shape events, or are peculiarly fa
vored by the chances or fortunes of war.
For the ycung and ambitious men of both
the French and Prussian armies, the pres
ent war would seem to afford an excellent
opportunity for fame and promotion, for
soon, in the natural course of events, all
the great chiefs of both armies will be
gathered to their fathers. We append a
list of the names and ages of the gay old
boys who are expected to lead the fiery on
set of France and Prussia:
Louis Napoleon is over forty, and in in
firm health.
Marshal McMahon, take him for all and
all, perhaps the greatest soldier in the
French army, is sixty-two.
Marshal Bazaine, personally the most
reckless and daring of the French Marshals,
is sixty-one.
Marshal Canrobert is supposed not to be
in good health, and is over sixty.
Marshal Vaillant is in his eightieth year,
Marshal Count Baraguey Is seventy-five,
Marshal Forey Is sixty-six.
Marshal Random4s over seventy-live,
Marshal Changarnier, just promoted and
placed In command of the reserves, is sev
enty-seven.
General Lebouef, a comparative young
ster. who bas relinquished the portfolio of
war for an active command, is sixty-one.
General Palikao. who was also of late lit
the civil services of the Emperor, is sev
enty-four.
The conduct of the war oa the Prussian
side will be entrusted to Baron Von
Moltke who displayed in the war against
Austria extraordinary genius, and who
may be counted in this fight as tbe great
est strategist in Europe, will be seventy
years ot age next October.
The figure heads in the Prussian army
are the Crown Prince Frederick William,
son-in-law of Qnein Victoria, and Prince
Frederick, who is under forty, and Prince

ble course in any case of sickness is to re
sort promptly to a speclfie which has stood
the test of a long and widely extended
public experience, and obtained on solid
and sufficient grounds the reputation of a
Standard Remedy. This rank among the
restoratives of our day belongs of right,
and beyond all dispute, to Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters. Let those who are taking
it at this debilitating season as an invigor-
ant answer for themselves as to its tonic
properties. Can any dyspeptic, who has
ever used it, question its superiority as a
stomachic over every other medicine? Can
any person of billons habit,who has ever ta

all complaints arising from Indigestion or

article which can be conscientiously guar

Koskoo.—This medicine is rapidly gain
ing the confidence of the people, ana the I
numerous testimonials of its virtues, giv
en by practitioners of medicine, leaves no I
doubt that it is a safe and reliable remedy
for imparity of the blood, liver disease,
etc.
The last Medical Journal contains an ar
ticle from Prot. R. S. Newton. M. D., Pres
ident of the E. Medical College, city ol
New York, that speaks in high terms of Us I
curative properties, and gives a special rec-1
ommendation of Koskoo to the practition
ers of medicine. This is, we believe, the
first instance where such medicines have
been officially endorsed by the Faculty ol I
any of the medical colleges, and reflects
great credit upon the skill of Dr. Lawrence,
its compounder, and also puts “ Koskoo” in I
the van of all other medicines of the pres
