What, \ve need in Atlanta notv is a man with just such a head full of money sense as stands upon the shoulders of one John 11. James. Wo do not need a lawyer for the next term, nor a merchant, but we need a financier. Let us have him. Toccoa Ilerald. We repeat that we are not among those who advocate his excellency’s reelection, and at the same time we know of no cause why he should bo so warmly persecuted by those who, with himself, together with all of Georgia’s citizens, have one common interest to advance and one common cause to serve. Gumming Clarion. Every week furnishes us additional evidence that Gen. Lucius J. Gar trell is the people’s candidate for lie governorship, and that if their wishes are respedted, lie is destined to be Georgia’s next governor. Gentlemen may say, oh, no, this or that man, is the more popular, but we say unto them with the firm conviction o' truth and soberness that the people in north Georgia are for Gen Gartrell, the noble man, whe has ever been a democrat and has never done any thing inconsistent with the strictest fidelity to the principles implied by the name. Griffin Press and Cultivator. Gov. Smith has doubtless made ut a good governor, and if t he people of Georgia wish to try him again, lien say so. Col. II rdornan is one of the most talented men in the south, has but few' equals anywhere and we question if any superiors. Do the people wish him? If so nominete him. The name of Gin. Colquitt is a talis man, and thrills with sweet, mu.it' in the hearts of a thousand old soldiers. Do the voters prefer him? Then place his name before the sons of Georgia with its magic power. We need retrenchment, economy, finan cial ability to save us from ruin. Is John 11. James the man for the place? Nominate him and he will be govern or. So with all the rest. Cartersvilic Express. The move for the nomination of Mr. Johnson for governor fans not sprung from office see ers—from men who expect gubernatorial favors. It. comes from men who do not desire office and are oi posed to nil rings, cliques and combinations attempting to forest all popular sentiment. The men ho are arguing Mr. Johnson for governor would scorn to ask of him pledges as vehemently and in dignantly ns he would refuse to make pledges The movement is on a liigh u r and more exalted plane of pol itics than for selfish purposes on the part of those engaged in it. It is in tended ns a movement of the people if the peop'e endorse it; if they do not it is not proposed to enter a scramble to make it successful. In short if the people desire Hershel V. Johnson fo•• governor and express that desire in the nominating conven tion and at the ballot box, and in the interest of the public good, he can not and will not, as we believe, re fuse to obey the voice of the people, however much lie may be indisposed to assume such responsibility. He is too good a democrat and true a pa triot to shrink from public duty when called to it by tbe voice of the people. The only question remains, do the people of Georgia desire Her shel V. Johnson as their next gover nor ? Bainbridge Democrat. The people love and honor Gov. Smith, and are not only satisfied a ill), but are proud of his administration. He has not only been tried to ihe sat isfaction of the masses,and not found wanting in any essential that tends to make a wise and able ruler. The falsehoods, insinuations and slanders of anonymous writers, or the vora cious attacks of* hungry editors fall still-born before the judgement and common sense of the people of Geor gia. The great majority of tho peo - pie are interested in good government alone. It is a very small minority of the population that are interested in the holding of the offices, and who “hanker” after the fleah pot?. These are the fellows who desire new ad ministrations, and who if they have not capital to advance theircauipaign with, must make it. Hence the at tacks upon Gov. Smith. Columbus Enquirer. The bogus bonholders anil ring thieves once had a fine time picking from the carcass of old Georgia. The advent of Gov. Smith put them to flight and made them drop much of their plunder. They have tried hard “to slip up’’ on the Governor and get a grab, but he was always on the alert nd thwarted them in every moment. They are in a sad fix. There is only one course left for '.hem to get into the treasury and re fib their empty coffers, and that is to get the peoples guardian out of the way and substitute a more pliant watchman in his st* and. 1 lie villian ous letter to the New York Herald has been followed up, as we predict ed, by more assaults and vile flings at itifc Governor. This time in the shape of a communication to the Augusta HAMILTON, HARRIS CO., GA„ WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 1876. Constitutionalist , These scribblers, no doubt, imagine they are pouring “hot shot” into the Governor, but they are using such poor powder that their shots fall harmless to the ground before reaching their mark. The explosion ofthese pop guns does not even make noise enough to give the Governor a scare. We think it very foolish for these bogus fellows to be trying to make a muss. Somo body may tell the Governor what they are trying to do, and ho might not like it. Then they will be forev er cut off from the use of his “pardon ing powers.” It may be the man ner the Governor exorcises his “par donint; powers’’ that they dislike, and, like prudent thieves, they are guarding against the chances of be ing caught. “Go slow, Bogus.” “Soldier” in Constitution. A number of gentlemen of distinc tion have been named in connection with the office for the next governor of Georgia, and I believe that none stand more prominent on the list than that distinguished and Christian gentleman Gen. A. II - Colquitt. In southwestern Georgia where ho lias been well and favorably kno w n for many years, bus a host of warm sup porters. Gen. Colquitt, formerly lived in southwestern Georgia for a number of years, his high character for honor and integrity, and his splen did genial, social qualities have much endeared him to ttiose people; having held many places of public trust in the army, iu the national councils, in pri vate corporations, in public enterpris es, the same stern integrity and gen uine manhood has ever characterized his course iu life; and as the com mander of the famous Colquitt bri gade in the array of northern Vir ginia, and the hero of Ocean I’ond in Flarida, his chivalry was commensu rate with his distinguished services in civil life. It o. curs to me that with the prestige and influence that Gen. Colquitt would carry into the cam paign. that he could not only wipe out radicalism, iu the governors elec tion, but in those counties where the democrats have had to struggle hard to carry the election for members of the legislature, the name of Colquitt would add great strength aud 'enthu siasm to the ticket- —The Atlanta Constitution says that Gov. Smith’s action in the case of Brinkley is vindicated by the decision at Newman, a few days since, grant ing anew trial. Our Coweta friends who hastily blamed the governor for his conduct in this case, should now see the wrong done to him, for their own court has declared Brinkly enti tled to anew heaiing. Human hie is too sacred to be debarred the least possible legal right, or opportunity for legal defense. —There is some twaddle, says the New York Sun, about starting a third party for the Presidential elec tion. It can’t be done, and won’t bo tried. In a short time the main issue will be joined between the t wo exist ing paries, and into them will be whirled all the political forces of the country. In the campaign of this year no third party could do anything but guerrilla skirmishing and black mailing, and no such business can lie tolerated under the present circum stances. One of the twaddlers about a third party says “the people are mad enough” just now to rush into it. There are somejpeople who are often mad enough and silly enough to make fools of themselves; but even these will keep clear of the foliy of a third party this year. Two parties are sufficient for the present. President Grant’s la'est indignity to the South, and indeed to the whole country, is assigning to duty at the Centenial Exposition the infa rnous Major Lewis Merrill, whose pranks in South Carolina and Louis iana have made him so notorious. Even the New York Tribuno is forced to say : “There will be so much cu riosity to see this remarkable officer, whose operations in Louisiana during the political campaign of 1874 were the theme of general comment all over the coutry, that we trust he wiil be given a conspicuous place in the United States Government building. It would not be a bad idea to exhibit with him a copy of Lieut.-Col. Mor row’s report to Gen. Emory on Maj Merrili’s behavior in “impairing the reputation of the service of conduct in the delicate arid-responsible duties it is required to perform in conjunc tion with the civil authorities in the Southern States.” —i—■ The Editor of the London Times wants to know, if all the thieves and rascals are to be kicked out of the Republican party, “whose to do the kicking?” That rump Congress, Colonel, of which you spoke recently, will do the work, and not only kick them out of the Republican party, but into the Penitentiaries of the country —that is, it they don’t Maran off to Canada. How a Maiden Lady Softened on a Soldier. During Lie war there lived in the vicinity of a city a solitary maiden of sixty summers, who had no one to protect her agsinst the rude buffets of the world. If any flower of affec tion for the other had ever warmed and beautified her maiden heatt, it bloomed in secret and “wasted its sweetness on the desert air.” At that time which “ tried men’s souls ” she continued to live alone unterri tied by the evils of civil war. One day while the ci'y was occupied by Federal troops, a soldier went into her potatoe patch, and commenced helping himself to the potatoes. She soon discovered his presence, and rushing out she screamed, in a high, shrill key: “ Get out of tny potatoe patch, you vagabond.” Soldier—“l shan’t do it; your sons are in the army fighting against ns now, and I am going to have all the potatoes as I want.’’ Maid—“ You are a liar, sir; you are a liar.” Soldier —“ Well, if your sons aint your husband is, and I am going to have these potatoes.’’' Maid—“ You’re a liar, sir, I’ve got no husband.” Soldier —“Well, if your husband aint your sweetheart is.’’ Maid —“Well, I declare (softening) who told you I had a sweetheart?’’ Soldier—“ Never mind.” Maid —“ Well, I reckon you can have a few potatoes, but don’t take no mote’n you need for yonr own use.” The Crooked Alphabet.

A farmer living just out of Vicks burg was reading in an agricultu ral paper, the other day, an article headed—“He Kind to Your Cow.” He went out to milk with a heart fuil of kindness, and, as he sat down, he whisperer!: “So boss—stand round—good creature —hoist a little, there, you intelligent, kind hearted old boss.” About two minutes afier that, his wife heard him yelling arid whooping, and as she ran to the door, he called out: “Bring me the axe, Maria, and the spade, and that big club, there, and tha butcher knife and that shot gun, for I’ll be darned if this old hellion shall ever ive to kick me in the jaw again !’’— Vicks burg Herald —TO • -<► • •"*- A Kentucky judge has decided that a man has no right to harness his wife to a plow, no, not even with a mule.

Miller in his speech upon the reception of the North-west visitors, did up Georgia in the follow ing manner. His speech was replete with good humor and good sense. He said in his remarks: You talk about \our fine country; you have a fine country, I have no doubt about that. But if there is a better place than the State of Georgia upon the face of the earth, I never saw it. (Laughter.) I love the people of the old commonwealth, ana I love the commonweal!h itself. It is a tine country. My friends, we have got gold enough in Georgia, to-day, to pay the national debt. VVe have got iron enough in Georgia to bind to gether every section of this country. We have got coal enough to melt it. We have got slate enough in Georgia to cover all out doors. (Laughter and applause.) We have got inarb e enough in Georgia to lance in all of out doors. We have got copper enough to furnish the brass of the whole Yankee nation. (Laughter and applause.) Weil, that is not half of it. Go up to the Capitol and look into the specimens of mineral anil agricultural wealth. I shall not ttiu morale all these articles of small val ue such diamonds; (laughter;) but iJown here upon rite sea coa-t, wc can raise rice enough to feed the Chinese empire. \V e have down there live oak forest enough to build the navies of the world. And you will see before you return from your excursion trip, fields enough to clothe the world; and not only so, but we Lave water power enougu to spin it. I jor tli© Journal ] Another Programme. The lorivs of Georgia presumo a poor man and his wife can live on 50 acres of lanff, wriih five for each additional child. Less than that might do, but wo will put it at 100 to a family. Two-thirds or three tourths of the laud in Georgia is at present dead enpital to its owner, but an investment on which nn average of 1 per cent is paid for support of the Government. The only benefit .from it accrues to theoflioe holders. A man in Georgia 40 years ago, bought 2,000 acres of land and gave |20,000 for it. Ho used only 1,000 of it, and after 40 years sold tho other for SIO,OOO. That 810.000 laid dead to him for 49 years, or suffered an annual lots of 8700 at 7 per cent., or n total loss of 828,000; or, if compounded, about 8300,000. lie used it alone to value it yearly and pay tax on it, I saw a report lately (mislaid it) which said there were about 27 millions im proved land (I suppose settled) and a small amount of wild lands com paratively, which at the time im pressed ine as leaving about 10 mil lions acres unaccounted. It Georgia contains 65,000 square miles, it con tains about 37,000 millions of acres. Ten millions hid out, and of the oilier twenty seven millions only about nine millions cultivated, and 18 millions dead capital to owners, but a government fund to pay taxes on. Now, in connection with tho above the failure of tho Degro, and the cot ton as a general crop, and the conse quent exodus of the negro as being un profitable here—hisjinevitable destiny, that of going where he may be most profitably used by tho white man, the necessity of calculating the changes, of preparing for them is apparent. Then, the substitution of other labor and modes becomes a necessity. Labor has been employed, since the war, under every conceivable variety of mode, by the while and black man, from the more independ ent renter to the cropper and com mon laborer. The renters hare been mostly white. Thirty-nine out of forty have broke down at it; not one in 40 now able as renter in the proper sense of that term lo run a farm. No man can farm and pay 40 to 50 per cent on the value of the land he uses; and add to that the high per cent on suppplieo, if on credit and a year or two will finish him. Two and 21| halos cotton to the mule or $l2O or SIOO for the use of thirty acres land worth S3OO for one year, is a per cent too big for any body but a government contractor. This sort ot business lias broken up rentors proper and all now run on mutual downfall schedule. We’ll never im port more negroes, and the hope of the country is the settlement of it by the white race. Anew era is sotting in. How now shall we best use our chances? My plan is to suggest that every man that owns say 1,000 acres, is to sell 500 to 5 mon—each 100 acres. Give them 3,4, or 5 years to pay in, in money and pro duce yearly. At tho end of tho term their land and improvements couldn’t bo bought for double the price paid, nor could tho seller’s 500 acres left be bought for less. At $4 per acre (the present average in Georgia is ♦3.38) tho seller would lake in year ly say SSOO from tho purchasers, and his own remainder would increase in value, yearly, SSOO ; and at the end of 4 years, the 1,000 acres, now worth $4,000 would bo worth SB,OOO. There would be five permanent citizens in lieu of transient sojourners to become interested in schools, churches, roads and everything con nected with the general improve ment of the neighborhood and coun try. Taking all the chances of rent and cropping, tho man or present owner of the 1,000 acres does’ut now realize SSOO. By my plan he gets SSOO yearly, and SSOO additional value on his remainder, anil forming around him society on a permanent basis, from which spring all the in ecu lives to the building up and im provement of tbe country in all j respects. From the ground springs all wealth, and if the foundation is secure, all else is sate; and appearance* of pros perity above and outside of it are fictitious and delusive, if the fillers of the soil are unprosperous. On the production* of ihc land are bottomed all values. If the soil or land eau be increased in value a hundred ibid, $2.00 A YE AR everything elso makes its tneinure ment thereby. Tho property of Georgia is now $261 millions. It would then be worth $522 millions, which, at a tax of 1 per cent, (which it will soon reach,) will yield a reve nue of 5,220,000 dollars, or together with specific taxes, about six millions for tho state, and a hundred per cent on that for county tax, would be 12 millions, instead of 5 or 8 mil lions now;and we can then give the Governor 810,000, and bis clerks and secretaries 16 or $20,000; judges of Supreme Court Bor 89,000, and of Snpefior courts 6 or $7,000; Secretary of the Senate $2,800, Ctork of the house the same. Clerks, generally, from 14 to 18 dollars per day, and mem bers of the Legislature the same and Bor 10 dollars for every 20 miles traveled; collectors in counties like Harris 1,000 to 2,000 dollars, and County treasurers from 1,000 to 1,600 dollars, and county school commis sioners from 1,000 to 1,500 dollars. I know my plan will be readily ac cepted on all hands. Old Farmer. A Slippery Place to Pop the Question. Sho came tripping from the church door, her face flushed with emotions awakened by the just uttered dis course, and eyes bright w ith loving expectations, lie shivered on the curb stone, whore for an hour he had waited impatiently with a burn ing heart fairly palpitating in his throat, aud frozen fingers in his peckets. They linked arms and started for the residence of her par ents. After a few moments hesita ting lie said : “Jane, we have known eaoli other long. You must know how I feel. You must have seen that clear down at the bottom—Oh, Moses He had slipped down on the iee with so much force that his spine was driven up into his hat, and his hat was tipped over his nose, but she was a tender-hearted girl. She did not laugh but she carefully helped him to his feet, and said; “You were saying, John, when you slipped that foundation—Oh, goodness!’’ She had slipped herself, and saw little stars come down to dance be fore her eyes, but ho pullejl her up iu haste and weut on. “ Yes, just as I said, clean down at tho bottom of my heart is a fervent love, on which I build my hopes. That love has helped me stand face— Thunder 1” lie was down again, but scrambled up beforo she could stoop to help him, and she said breathless : “Yes, yes, John. You remember you just said a love which helped you stand and face thunder. Aud that you founded your hopes on— this pesky ice!” There she sat. John grasped the loose part of her sacque, between the shoulders, with ono hand, and raised her to her feet,-as one would lift a kitten from a pail of water by the back of the neck. Then he said with increased earnestness: “ Of course, darling, and I have longed for an opportunity to tell my love and lo hear thorn sweet lips whisper—Whoop 1” Somehow John’s feet had slipped front under him, and he had com* down like a capital V, with his hands aud feet pointing skyward. She twined her taped finger* in his curling lucks and raised him to the statue of a man, set his hat firmly over his eyes with both hands, and cried iu breathless haste : , “ I understand, and let me assure you, John, that if it is in my power to lighten your cares and brighten journey through life to —Jerusalem I’ John stood alone, and said with breathless vehemence: “ Oh, my precious 1 and thus shall it be my lifelong pleasure to lift you from the ru ie assaults of earth, and surround you with the loving atmos phere of—Texas!” And there they both sat together. They had nearly reached the gate, and, hand, in hand, and with hearts oveiflowing with the bliss of young love’s first confession, they crept, along their knees up the front steps and were soon forgetful of tiielr bumps on the softest cusbiou of the parlor sofa. The Loudon Rothschild is dead, and every poor devil of an editor re marks witb satisfied complacency that “money could not sav* him.” Poverty don’t save a man either.
