Retrenchment is still going on. A Bill is
now peuiling to reduce the salary of congress

favor of making the new rule, commence
communication from Dr. H. H. Carlton,
(our able Representative in the Legislature)
to bo found in this issue of our paper It
is considered desirable that there should be
a treneral expression of opinion on the
subject-matter of that communication and
a discussion of the- policy of making the
changes suggested in the organism of the
institution.
Whether with or without cause—whether
rightfully or wrongfully—still, the fact is
patent to every observer that there is a
want of interest in the University, if not a
strong prejudice against it, bn the part of a
large majority of the people of tne State.
It is believed by tbosc who have taken the
trouble to inquire, into the facts, that this
is based upon a very prevalent idea that
the college is a mere local school, and not
a great State institution. We shall not
stop to inquire whether there is sufficient
reason to justify such conclusion. The
fact exists, and it is the part of wisdom to
deal with tacts as they exist.
It is certainly very important to the
great interests of education in our State,
that the University should be popularized.
Until this is done, all attempts at “ unifica
tion” will prove abortive. When it is
done, there will be no difficulty in securing
weighed the subject as to have maintained
more of consistency in his positions as re
gards the University and its wants. It
is just ns important that the Press should
take positions upon such grave and impor
tant questions, with great care, as “tint
reforms should be attempted with great
caution.”
We cannot account for this strange
shifting of position on the part of the
Watchman, unless it be upou the idea that
journalists, like doctors, are born to disagree.
True it is,* “ that times change and men
change with them,’’ but we would respect
fully submit, that if our worthy contempo
rary would only be a little more careful to
keep his record before him, he doubtless
would be more likely to maintain himself
upon that line of beautiful consistency which
is the strength of true journalism.

Il strikes us that the selection of a

institution than any plan heretofore sug
gested. All will admit that something
ought to be done. Instead of our young
men obtaining collegiate training in other
States, the University of Georgia should
not only educate all the sons of the State,
but its halls should be crow ded with stu

It is with pleasure, and we trust, with
patriotic consideration, commensurate with
the necessities of a speedy return of our
republic to its former better days, that we
endorse the able, eloquent aud forcible editor
rial of the Constitutionalist, of the 29th
ult., presenting the name ot Senator Thos.
F. Bayard, as the man to become the stan
dard bearer of the democracy in the insuing
presidential campaign. We had the honor
of iormiug the acquaintance of this distin
guished gentleman at our late State Fair,
held iD the city of Macon, and ot hearing his
address upon the financial, os well as other
grave and importaut political issues of the
day. In both his private conversation and
his public address, we were so impressed
with the purity of his principles, the sounds
ness ol his judgement and the high order of
his statesmanship, that we were fairly won
and fully persuaded that the interest of a
common cjuntry could not lie better sub
served by the democracy, than iu the selec
tion of Senator Bayard ot Delaware, as a
suitable candidate for the presidency. In
our future issues we shall endeavor to come
to the aid of Col. Randall, by presenting to
the public additional reasons which we think,
should induce the St. Louis Convention to
make choice of this peerless statesman of
Delaware—a man surely acceptable to the
democracy North, South, East and West.

that it has been and is still our policy to

support of the party nominee. But iu
our advocacy of a suitable candid te to be
selected by the Nominating Convention,
we shall, wljile giving respectful recogni

press our preference for GeVi. A. II Colquitt.
\Ve shall endeavor, from time to time, to !
but the very opposite of that which so
forcibly struck Col Christy in 1874 as
being the best, and wc are quite snre that
the reduction of the present Board of
Trustees would have no very popularizing
tendency Sucli an idea is so -perfectly
absurd nrd fallacious, that wc need not here
attempt its refutation.
Another equally strange ittconsiste cy on
the part of Col. Christy is, that he should

duce the readers of the Georgian, at least,
to agree with us, that lie is the most ac

AS IMPORTANT DECISION.
We publish on our first page, a recent
decision of the Supreme Court of Georgia,
. setting forth the right of the head ot u funds
ly, in behalf of himself and family, to waive
exemption from execution under the Hume:
stead law, and give a valid mortgage on the
.property in security for incurred liability.
This was the unanimous decision of the
Supreme Court, as delivered by Chief
Justice Warner, ‘ in the case of Simmons
vs. Anderson, Homesjead from Monroe.
This decision makes the bill introduced by
Senator McDaniel, and passed by the Gener
al Assembly, durifig the session of 1875,
but declaratory of the existing law as deter
mined by the Supreme Court. It is on ini-
■ portant decision to the people of- Georgia,

restoring that confidence and security, the
lack of which has heretofore so completely

lively and so earnestly in 1874, the neces
sity and importance of some speedy and
saving . reformation in the University,
when latterly, he lias held out the idea,
both directly and indircotly, that all this
talk about the necessity of reformation or
reorganization in the government of the
College was wtihout foundation. That
the College was never in a more prosper
ous condition, aud that the discipline and
government was never better. As to the
importance of a change in the University
at the time tho question was first mooted,
tfrere might have been, and doubtless was,
an honest difference of opinion. But if
-there was need of change then, no one can
successfully deny that the necessity has
.gradually increased since that time, until
it is now evident to the mind of every true
Mend and well-wisher of the College (CoL
Christy himself again shifting back to that
admission,) that such reformation as will
thoroughly popularizo ■ the institutin' in
the hearts of onr people, is the one great
and pressing necessity “The facts exist,
and it is the part of wisdom to deal
