We have been informed that the meeting which adopted the resolution® presented to therenate by Mr. Hill was not general in its character, and we can well »ff>rd to believe that the ir formation ia correc*; bat what we desire to impress upon our repre sentative# in congress ia the fact that hail every member of the exchange been in his place, and had each been accompanied by a tea-captain as a re cruit, the resolutions adopted would not have represented the views of the people of Georgia on the silver money question. HOS a KOBO E II 1‘KSULR TON. The political career of Hon. George H. Pend’eton, who was elected last an inundation of speeches on the silver TT .. . <. . r , f . . Tuesday to the United S ates senate question. Of the southern senators two, Messrs B-ck and Bailey, have already spoken, and each was true to biaconstituency. Mr. Voorheea' speech on Wednesday ia the event of the great debate thus tar. It was his maiden speech, and onr summary of it has only served to heighten the desire to read the whole of the magnificent effort. There are many strong men to hear from, in cluding Mr. Thurman, Mr. Jones, Gen. Gordon and Gen. Ransom. Mew*. Kdinundn and Bayard are to champion the other side - both stro ig men, hut combined they are not strong enough to prove that the bonds should not l»e paid in silver when every one of the new five per cents, four and a half per cents and lour per cents bear the words of the con’ract, declaring that they sre payable in coin of the *tand*ul value of July 14,1870, in gold or silver coin of that date. Messrs. Bayard and K Inlands may call the advocates of re- luonetizUion repudiators, hut they can not explain away the plain terms of the contract with the bondholders. And hence it is safe to say that the silver men will gain strength from a long de bate; for plain law and equity are on their side. It is difficult to say in what shape the hill will pass the senate, or whether it will command a two-thirds vote in case of » veto. No losses have been reported. On the other hand, Hjnator Kos'is, whom the gold hugs have confidently claimed, declares that he is in favor of remonetisation. Gen eral Butler, of South Carolina, is also claimed by the hard-money men; hut the new senator from South Care lie a, says that he does not himse.f know how he will vote. The prospect now is that New Kigland, New York, and half of Delaware, will he found at the close of the debate on the one side, and all the rest of the country on the other from Ohio, has had quite a checkered political career. In 1853, he was state senator from Hamilton county; in 1854, he was nominated for congress in the first Ohio district, but was defeat ed ; in 1*50, he was renominated and elected and took bis seat in 1857; in 1858, he was re-elected when near ly ah the other democratic candidates were defeated, and served through several terms; in 1800, he was nominated for vice-president on the ticket with General George B. Mc Clellan ; in 1808, bis friends put his name forward as the democratic candi date for president, and in the balloting of the national convention received nearly as many votes ss all the other candidate*, and vas only defeated, as has been charged, by the money of the iKindhoIders; in 18811, he was the demo cratic candidate for governor of Ohio but was defeated by Mr. Haye-; in 1871, he wss president of the national democratic convention; in 1878, be was elected to the United States senate, where he will take hia seat in 1879, and will be the most prominent of the defenders of the democratic faith. We have already briefly alluded to and commented upon the resolutions recently adopted by an organ'zation of moneyed men known as the Savannah cotton exchange. Oa Monday Mr. Hill went through the formality of present ing these resolutions to the senate. We have no information upon the sub ject, but it ia highly improbable that the senator, nympathix ; ng as he does with the views of this Stvannshor ganization, did the people of Georgia trie justice to state that the resolutions in question utterly luiareprerent ] not only the public senti- | ment of Stvannah, but the sentiment j of the |HH»ple of Georgia upon the question of the remonetiza'ion t f silver. It may be that such a statement does not fall within the scope of a senator's duties when presenting a memorial or a set of resolutions, hut we submit that Mr. Hill might very gracefully have taken advantage of the occasion to set forth what he know* fo he the views and feelings of the people who have honored him by placing some i.f tin ir most important interests m his charge. He might, also, while on the humor, have informed the senate and, through that body, the country at large, that the Savannah cotton ex change, like all such organ zauons, is a body without influence save to the extent of its own memltersbip; that the oracular silliness embodied in its resolutions savors strvngly of foreign ii Alienee; and that its assertions d» not have the concurrence of a m#j >rity of the business men in Savannah. The Morning News, a paper that is conservative enough to feel its way cau tiously in such matters, utterly scouts the idea that the exchange repre sent* the views of the people of that vitv, and gives editorial prominence to a strong intimation from the pen of a correspondent that the organization is controlled, if not composed, laig-iy of foreigners, who, interested in the o m- meice of the country, conceive that they are also interested in mattes of national finance.

They move for the purpose of bringing the murderer to punishment. In the count ing in of Mr. Hayes, justice itself was most fully murdered, and the crimi nals are still at liberty-one of th« m, indeed, going about boasting of the performance. We trust that in this matter, we haye only to give the cue to the able editors of the Sun. Howard Carroll, who is said to be so earnestly seeking a warm place in the New York custom house, is the author of the editorial articles in the New York Times in which the southern policy of Mr. Haves is so bitterly as sailed. It is to be hoped he will get the position be desires. We commend him to the administration as one of the ablest and most talented liars now engaged in political j mrnaliam. Let Mr. Hayes attend to this before he is investigated and turned out of office by such nimble intellects as Bill Chandler and the editors of the New York Sun. How many hundred thousand Geor gians does the Savannah cotton ex change represent in its indorsement • f the policy of the gold wreckers, and how many does the Hon. B. H. Hill represent when he revives the argu ments of such men as Chittenden, and presents them to the country as sound views on the currency question? We know tne answer to these conundrums, hut we would prefer to see them taken hold of by such organs as the New York Tribune. Ik the people of Georgia and the h»u h know their interests they will immediately proceed to make a formal expression of their views with respect to the remonetiz ition of silver. The idea that pnblicee 'tiraent on thisques tion is represented by a few cctUiu ex changes that have common cause with i he Itondholders ar.d the wieckers should not be allowed to mislead our representatives in congress TLX AS ASD S LX ICO. Governor Hubbard’s three.colnmn letter to the president, giving a history of Mexican raids during the past twen ty years, will doubtless recall public attention to the nature of the troubles that are, whether we desire it or not, steadily bringing the two republics to another arimd collision. Toe people of Texas are deeply interested ; they may, perhaps, d sire war from selfish reasons, and it may be that the whole of the formidable indie* ment presented by Gov. Hubbard, would not stand the teat of an impartial examination. It is J. Willis Menard, coloie I, of Flori da, wants his race in the south to go to Liberia and Hayti. Why doesn’t J Willis go himself and explore, as it were, these colored camping-grounds of freedom ? Perhaps he holds our opini >n on the subject, namely —that he would wake np in the midst of a revolution some fine morning and have bis middle name shot ont before breakfast.

Plow the land deep,and leave i‘ with a level surface by good barrowing. Lay off drills two feet apart and plant the tuber one tc|every twelve inches in the drills; over two inches deep. In the early growth of the chufa, keep the ground clesr of grass and weeda,hoeing erhaps best let the culture be level,no illing up. The chief point in their culture is to have your ground thor oughly prepared at the start, and when the chufa comes up and is growing, to keep out weeds. Planting the chufa should be done about the same time as corn. Tree Planting. Do not forget in proper time to set out a few trees, both for fruit and or nament. If fruit, be sure and select the best and most choice kind. Tit* I'ampovt Heap. Are you making you a compost heap ? Now, farmer, you should certainly be providing the material which is to en rich and benefit your ground. Until the experiment is tried, a farmer can form no idea of the amount of g' od manure which may he made ou the farm. Take the manure from your ables, mix with it mud from your river or creek bottoms, weeds, pine shatters, leaves, lot scrapings, etc., in corporate a little lime with it, and when decomposed you will have good manure. Perhaps we should be more explicit and say you can put on your compost heap, straw, woods-eartb, ashes, soat suds, offal of slaughtered animals, dial water and all such things Such ma nure will pay your soil back much of the fertility of which it has been de prived. Ivory Wheat. Blakely, January 10,1878. AtjricuLural Editor Constitution—A* you invite farmers to give you their ex perience in experimenting with new grain I will give you my experience with ivory wheat. Last April I receiv ed one pound of ivory wheat from Dr. Shelton, of Texas, and on the 28th day of April planted three fourths of an acre on thin land, without any manure. 1 gat hered ten bushels. It was planted near ray house, and the poultry de stroyed a great deal of it If planted early it will sucker and make the sec ond crop before frost, and will make as fine provender for horses, males or cows as any I ever saw grow. I have had some ground on a corn mill, and it makes a sweet biscuit and as fine bat ter-cakes aa buckwheat. I regard the ivory wheat as a grea* success. The advantage it has over common wheat in this climate and soil is very great It will prr duce more per acre, and U subject to none of the disasters, such as rust or araut, and it is proof against drouth. It will mature m four months from date of planting, and can be plant* d any time after the 10Jx March up to the 10th of June. John B Mulligan. variety displayed in the vegetable kingdom. Oxygen, carbon, and hy drogen are the simple substances, which, modified hy the law and directed by the influence of vegetable life per form the ceaseless changes m form, color, and consistence, in the growth, de*X)mpositiren, and renovation of this important part of creation. These ele ment accumulate and rise into magni ficence and beauty, to fill nature’s store house with riches and plenty; then again are scattered to recombine in different proportions in other sub stances, and there preserve the harmo ny snd order of nature.

Rotation or Crops. There are certain and fixed princi ples dic’ated by natural laws, which must be observed in the course of farm ing. A rotation of one crop to another is essential to the successful growth oJ any Tbe farmer should study to know what crops and what rotation t f crops are best adapted to his soil. Lucerne In answer to a Cobb county man in regard to lucerne, we reply, that it b excellent for forage. It is good for feeding green, or soiling; and used in this way, it is better to cut it a day be fore using, permitting it to wilt. I most not be pastured. Lucerne hay is extremely nutritions, and is relished by homes, cattle, and sheep. The pro duct of lucerne ia very large. Hartlcnllnr*.

The farmers have about com pleted their arrangements for another year with farm hands. —Columbus Times: Every now end then we see accounts in the papers shout what this and that man has done in the way of farming. Here in some thing worth bragging about. Mr. 8. P. Johnson, last year, with two mules, on his farm on Mud Creek, in Marion conn*y, made 32 hales of cotton, 500 bushels of corn, 10 stacks of fodder, (6,000 ponndf), 1 barrel of svrnp, and peas enough to fatten 4.000 pounds of pork: —Quitman Times: Mr. R. H. Harrell, of our county, steps to the front with a Berkshire hog netting him 438 pounds of pork. Ben Is a good farmer and raises his own t( hog and hominy.” —Sandersville Courier: From private letters received from Rev. O. R. Lassr- ter and W. R. Logue, Esq., of Glass cock, we learn that the farmers of that county have gone to work in good earnest, for a large and full crop for the year 1878. The auspicious weather ot the last few weeks and the drought of year instead of discouraging the thrifty farmers of that self-sustaining county, has acted as a stimulus. —Southern Watchman: Mr. Robert Moon, of Oconee connty, informed us the other day that he bad made during the past year on a five-mule fArm, nine bales of cotton and six hundred bushels of c *rn to the mule. This, we think, is doing first rate for this tec tion, acd shows the fallacy of onr people emigrat ing to Texas in order to find lands which will pay to cultivate.
