Entered at the pout office in Lexington, Georgia,at tecond-clatt mail matter. Official Organ of Oglethorpe County. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER US, I8»2. “Tern the rascals out” lias been made the battle cry. That sounds well to the host of those hungry for pap. A bill is pending in the Legislature to make dogs personal property. Wc know some that ate almost us personal as their owners. The unprecedented rise in the price of cotton is hut another evidence of how wild were some of the claims and charges of the t. p. Tiik t. p. dies hard but quietly. Four years of prosperity under Demo¬ cratic rule will make few mourners at the Final interment.. This is the smoothest running Leg¬ islature we have had in some time. The members seem to know what is to be done and how to do it. And now Sister Lease threatens to run for the U. S. Senate from Kansas. We did think she was one t. p. leader who was not an ollice seeker. It is not improbable that a general registration law for lhe Ntnlc will he passed at this session of the Legisla¬ ture. Such would be a righteous act. And now the t. p. has gone and made a serious split in the National Alliance. May bo tho two orguniza lions will net untangled after a while. As long as collections are uncertain so long will the poor people wtio must have credit be sufferers from extortion. Wipe out our exemption laws and give the poor man a chance. ’Tin saitl that it will be impossible for the Legislature to complete its work within tlie fifty days allotted it. And the same might be, as it has bccu, lhe case had it double as many days. On; exemption laws force the honest people of Georgia to pay the losses merchants sustain in had debts against the less honest. Should there he any laws in existence that foster such in¬ justice? WilAT a time Cleveland and his cab¬ inet will have considering applications for government positions. The nuin her of applicants bids fair to l>e excell¬ ed only by the number of votes Cleve¬ land received. The money necessary to make a creditable Slate display at the World’s fair would be only capital invested, with every assurance of a big return. We therefore favor a display at the ex¬ pense of tho State. Fleming, of Richmond, is the one man m this . Legislature , . . who . risks . . ,• his olllcial head in proposing measures to tax dogs. He broaches the matter ralher from a blind side though, and that , , may save mu. T„K i. no. busy king up Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet, ■' Vt ' he has always heretofore shown him¬ self to be able to attend to all such for himself, we leave our prorata part of the country’s assumed task to him. To carefully consider all „ the , appli cations that will be made for governmen positions will take Cleveland, all his cabinet, and the whole of congress some time, The “outs” are far more numerous thau the “ius" arc, or will be. The Legislature has already , u ken steps towards providing for the cstab lishment of state banks as soon as Congress shall have removed the pro hibitory ten per cent tax on them. This means a decided increase :u the circulating medium. A little sensation was sprung last week over the report that the Legisla ture, when it first convened, was iu il ie^al session because of the ilieiralitv * ,' of the adoption of , the , amendments changing the session to bi-ennial and limiting them to fifty days. This would make all the elections by the body illegal, which would indeed be a juuddle. BY THE PEC^w S. _ Thn t present manner j ' of elect,ng Judges and Solicitor-Generals is again up for dteiussinn as it !va« been many limes before. There is low sentiment over the .Stale m favor of giving thf. Governor/power to appoiat them are nffw as elected well as by ot^er t le Legislature,. officers which Tbis, it seems to us, w^pdd he mak¬ ing a bad matter wotee, if anything. As to Judges and Solicitors the best way to select them is a difficult matter to decide. It would seem to be the fairest way to let the people elect them as they do other officers, the argument in favor of this being that the ac¬ quaintance of the people with the men offering for the officers would make them the proper ones to decide be¬ tween candidates. This is, indeed, a strong point, and one that should have great weight in bringing about such a manner of choosing those officers. The offset to this argument is that if these officers came before the people they will have to serve, asking for their suffrage it would compromise them to a great extent. They would he placed under obligations to those who support them, and on the other hand he prejudiced against those who do not. This, it is held, would unfit them for impartial administrators of the law. This would be a well taken point if all candidates are to be as corrupt as those who offer it seem to rate men. We have not lost all faith in mankind yet, not even in the seekers after office, and we fait to see why a Judge or So¬ licitor-General elected by the people should he constrained to be any more partial to his supporters or opponents than any other servant of the people so selected. We have numbers of officers upon whom rest just as much responsi¬ bility elected by popular vote, who in the administration of their offices do so with equal justice to friend and foe in the elections. There is no reason Judges and Solicitors should not be as honest ih their offices. Therefore, if there is to be any change from the present mode of elect¬ ing them, wc favor making it by popu¬ lar vote. To give the Governor the the power to appoint them would be placing not only a great responsibility and power in the hands of one man, but it would impose upou him a duty almost beyond the power of any one man to well perform. It would, indeed, be a task for him to weigh the ability and fitness of all applicants he might have for the positions and decide be¬ tween them. If this government is for, of and by the people, as it is claimed, it seems to us that it should lie so in toto, and that the people should select their court of¬ ficers as well as others. We see no very good reason for doing it seconda¬ rily as it is now done. WHO IT ENSLAVES. A correspondent in the Atlanta Constitution, signing himself “Demo¬ crat,” makes the following good sug¬ gestions iu a recent issue of that paper: “Now that the people redeemed of the United States have been from the baleful rule of republicanism and plu¬ tocracy prosperity. we hope for and expect will an reduce era of Congress federal taxation, banks repeal the tax on the for issues of state and provide the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver. An abundant money supply will thus be provided. But this is not all that is necessary. There is much for our legislature to do. Con¬ fidence between man and man must be restored here at home. Poor men as well as the rich are entitled to and must have a credit. Two enactments will go far towards repeal accomplishing foolish these results. First the Twit ty bill of the last legislature and sec abolish ondly amend the homestead the constitution law. This so as to pro yWon in our organic huv has , lo ne more slave since reconstruction days to en our small fanners and laud own «« than all other causes combined. 1 he war freed the negroes of Georgia, Now let this legislature free the poor homestead will do it and the small far¬ mer will havo all the credit he wants and neighbor. will be as independent as his rich His manhood will be stimu¬ lated and he will be inspired with hope which he can never have while hamh capped by this relict of carpet bag and j . scalawag rule in Georgia, j This writer puts it strong as to our j homestead laws, but not too strong. All the hurtful measures that may be f upon our statutes combined do not go j as far towards enslaving the small farmer and poor man as does this one ; and yet there are poor men who are 80 unw * s ® ** claim that it is their only protection against creditors, j ^at it is a ' doe8not protcct 1 the poor Iuan and small farmer so much . as tt . others. These have nothing to home stead upon, while those of more means have. It is this latter class, who from the fact of having something, obtain credit, and then, bv homesteading, re pudiate . the .... debt. The merchant then of course loses it, and he must make his losses from those who have no pro lection against his claims i them. “ Democrat” might have gone J liter and said that our protection * put a premium upon dishonesty. bave i )ccn Home hon-st , who ht lhe protecUon of pome-, ,| ! bu , thty d<J not makb up , h ()f (ho8e who have lakgD j j Uu m u RhooW be? and is a disgrace thR) ihprt . , hould he , RW8 that fo8t ers j dishonrtsty . Snch law8 Rre sure t0 : work disaster to am State or coramu mtv. We heartily agree with the Consti tut ion's correspondent that the poor, and we add honest, man eat) never have hope while handicapped by such relicts of carpet-bag and scalawag rule in Georgia. It is a wonder to us that they have been left standing as long as they have. The sooner they are re¬ pealed, the sooner will the star of hope of the poor, hut honest, man begin to ascend. All other things seem now to tend towards its ascendency. Our leg¬ islators should make it complete by re¬ moving this one great clog.
