The President's Arkansas Message. The Legislature.
We are not surprised to learn that Wc publish extracts from, the fol-
the President’s recent message on Ar- lowing very readable, sensible and

Hon. B. II. Hill.
There are strong hopes and brighter
prospects of our nominating this States
man for our Representative in Con
gress, at the approaching (’(invention
in Gainesville. Mr. Ilill is gaining
ground rapidly. We hope the action
of our people will be unanimous in bis
favor.

The Commercial Traveler.
Wc pay our respects, on our first
|Kige, to this ubiquitous, peripatetic, and
irrepressible gentleman. Tho sketch—
though from a Northern stand point—
is applicable to the cutire fraternity
throughout the Union. They are tiie
natural outgrowth of the commercial
necessities of the Nineteenth Centurv,
and are indispensable to the success of
every line of .business in our great cities.
We have already seen them “ on the
Road,” now let us observe them “At
Home.” Take for illustration, a sales
man of a lending New York firm, aud
watch his labors during the busy sea
sons—Spring and Fall. See with
what, devotion he looks alter tho inte
rest of his “ House.” At an early
hour at the hotels scanning the “ Re
gister” and noting the arrival of his
merchant friends. Again, in the
evening, after the “ heat and burden"
of the day, making “the rounds”
of the hotels and interviewing the * new
comers.’ Step into the Grand Central
Hotel after tea, and jou will find an
assemblage worthy of your inspection,
nnd one known to the fraternity under
the complimentary title of “The Mer
chants’ Exchange.”
From Broadway to Mercer, through
its immeuse length—it is crowded with
merchants from every section, nnd
with salesmen from ever}’ leading
house in New York. Here the sales
of the day are discussed, and here the
“ skirmish line” is formed and placed
in position for the morrow’s battle.
What “a New York Commercial So
licitor don’t know is not worth know
ing.” The conversation ranges from the
day’s quotation of American and Eng
lish prints to the probable contents of
“The Alexandrian Library;” from
the Tarriff on tea and coffee, to “ Who
kill Cock-robin ! or, who is to lie our
next President!” They are really
very " charming fellows,” aud we are
always happy to be in their genial
presence.
But they are not always in New
York —as soon ns the visiting mer
chants take their departure, the “ Gen
eral salesman” follows in his footsteps.
The devoted friend of tho merchant,
whether at his home, or New York, let
us mark the treatment of the traveler
by our municipal authorities during
liia commercial tour.
Many of the “ Common Councils” of
our Southern cities have seen fit in
their wisdom, to impose a tax upon
these commercial agents. In their
Ordinances, these have been declared
to lie commercial “ banditti,” and the
Mayor of each of these respective
cities is instructed to “ ku klux” the
last one who may have the courage to
enter within the “ Chinese Wall.”
We enter our solemn protest again.-t
this suicidal policy. It is unjust to
the merchant as well as to the com
mercial traveler. It n.ay Iionefit a few
jobbers in whiskey, tobacco, and drugs,
by granting the same a monopoly—yet,
it is a serious disadvantage to tho
entire retail trade.
In order that the municipal authori
ties may have this entire matter under
their immediate control, and to pre
vent imposition resulting from “ fiec
trade” between flic States, wc would
suggest the adoption of some form of
registration, for all visiting commer
cial travelers. The influence and
jsiwer of these salesmen, should not he
overlooked or underrated. They con
trol the trade of New York, and other
Allnntic cities, and they can divert
the freight it lid passengers Aoni tho
old route* iuUi new ours, anil throuqh
cihe* who are more liberal and courte
ous to the fraternity.
Charleston, &. C., lias, we are f’uilv
satisfied, lost thousands and tens of
thousands of dollars, bv the adoption
of this above short-sighted policy.—
Aud our Sen-hoard city—Savannah- -
wo regret to see, has followed her ex
ample.
We trust these cities will give this
important matter that careful conside
ration which it deserves. Our Legis
lators may declare in favor of “ Free
Money," the Eucouragement pf Manu
factures, Liberal Education, “ Boards
of Health,” Direct Trade with Europe
and Immigration, vet we can never be
supremely happy as a people, till our
Sea-ports adopt the motto “Free Trade
between tho States,” and cease to Jay
AO “embargo” on Commercial Travel
er.

ling sensatioA.” Jit is certainly a most Sent
remarkable document to issue from
the pen of a man who has repeatedly
sworn to protect nnd defend the Con
stitution of the United States.
Although it is universally known
nnd believed, that Brooks was not
elected Governor in 1872; although
"General Grant himself nnd his man
Friday Williams have repeatedly re
cognized Baxter’s election nnd refused
to recognize Brook’s claim, although
the change in the Constitution of the
State and Governor GaHand’s election
were carried by an overwhelming ma
jority of tha ' people at a perfectly
peaceable election, nnd although a
Congressional Committee composed
almost exclusively of pronounced rad
icals, have reported all the above facts,
the President now asks Congress to
overturn the State Government of
Arkansas, annul the Constitution, de
clare Brooks Governor, though de
feated by popular vote three years
ago,—in n won!, reduce the State to
the same condition in which unhappy
Louisiana now is.
The concluding sentence of the mes
sage in which the President asks Con
gress to tike action in tho matter “ to
relieve the Executive from acting,”
clearly intimates that, should Congress
refuse or fail to declare the people of
Arkansas “ banditti,” and commit the
State to the tender mercies of Sheri
dan nnd Merrill, the Executive toill
act, and that another State will he
made to feel the iron heel of military
despotism.
That it is General Grant’s purpose
to provoke, if possible, a conflict with
the people of the South, arouse again
the passions and animosities of the
Northern people, and thus promote
the success of his third term scheme,
too plain to he misunderstood. We
trust that his purpose is a desperate
one and that, the people of the North
will make-him understand that there
is no authority for the Federal Govern
ment to interfere with the Govern
ment of a State, and that an}’ attempt
to do so, whether by the Executive or
l»y Congress, is an act of usurpation.
It is hard, no doubt, to bear the
wrongs of word and deed which Gen
eral Grant and his desperate followers
are daily committing against the
South. But when we remember that
these wrongs are done with the delibe
rate purpose of inciting us to resist
ance and thus obtain a pretext to rivet
the manacles upon our limbs, and that
by patience and forbearance we can
best defeat our enemies and rescue
ourselves from oppression, the course
we should pursuo is obvious.
The utter lawlessness of the Judi
cials nnd tho violence of their crimes
against the Constitution, prove the
desperation of their position, and that
their last hope of continuing their
power, is in urging the South to acts
of open hostility.

Let a man go to the Legislature and Pink Eye Potatoes, which they will
hold hi? tongue, how soo i is it discov- sell as low or hfaer than any one* for
cred that, the bounty iias made a great the Cash,
mistake in its representative! Mr.
Eolus, of Buncombe, spake four hours
on his hill; Mr. Gabbe, of Bawle, had
to be assisted from the hall, such
were his efforts in behalf of the pump
improvement report, hut-oar man nev
er said n word. The member feels
this, and. selecting a good day when
somebody from his county is in the
gallery, makes- Rome howl. He is
forced to it; his constituents would
think themselves betrayed and their
representative derelict, if they were
not “ norated” for by him as loud and
ns lor.g and as often as their neigh-
liors. The same local pressure brings
about, that wonderful inundation of
all sorts of hills which year by year
overwhelms the Legislature and makes
the world thiuk every man, woman
nnd child in Georgia, has an axe to
grind. Bills to relieve widows ; bills
enabling a one-legged man to peddle
schnapps, tax free; hills to run the
county line between J. Smith’s horse-
lot and T. Brown’s pasture; that
young Sawbones n ay practice physic;
that Zion school shall he Armageddon
Academy; hills, in short, to give
everybody everything—where do they
conic fiom, if it is not the d ar people
who load their member op to the
muzzle, and then send him off with
strict injunctions to infallible explode?
Of course he does so. With a wink
at the Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, he introduces the widow’s
bill; with another wink at the finance
leader, lie brings in the one-legged
schnapps man’s, measure. These mag
nates wink back, and the three are as
happy as so many Roman augurs,
who laughed at the tricks of their trade,
when they met in the street. For the
much talk, then the many bills, the
long deferred action of our Legisla
ture?, it is easy to account; all this
is the mere effervesencc of that steam
without the emission whereof, the pop
ular boiler would burst. This peril
averted, the Legislature gets to work
nnd generally manages to progress.
Feb. SI.
EXTRACT
From speech of our Representative,
Hon. H. P. Bell, on Civil Rights Bill:
Mr. Speaker, it is singular that so
much horror is manifested at the
White Leagues of the South and none
against the black leagues. It is no
torious that almost the entire hotly of
colored voters in the South are mem
bers of oath-hound leagues, meeting
in darkness, and many of them armed
and incited to the most deadly hostility
to white men by had men of the re
publican |«irty for selfish partisan ends.
But no word of complaint or rebuke
escapes republican lips, no republican
press teems with denunciation
them, nnd no arm of Federal powe-r is
fiared for their suppression.
The midnight heavens blush in red
ness with the flames of burning dwell
ings and gin-houses in South Carolina,
and the Lieutenant-General of the
Army advises no suspension of the
writ of habeas corpus that he may sum
marily try the incendiary and punish
the arson. Why is this? Is it be
cause the turpitude of crime consists
in the color of the perpetrator; or is
it because it is done by those who
maintain a negro despotism over the
people of that suffering State? Why
is there no condemnation of the hlack-
leaguers in the South ? Is it because
they were organized by adventurers in
the interest of the republican partv
that are not condemned ?
Why are not tho armed organizat
ions and hostile demonstrations of the
negroes in the South denounced ? It
was this state of affairs that created
tho necessity for Whito League or
ganizations. It is because the negroes
have been armed and incited to hos-
tility to 1 he whites by republicans to
secure power and plunder in defiance
of ibe popular will. This denuncia
tion of the White Leagues, this'erv of
lawlessness and security of life and
property is raised to evadc-the issue
nnd divert the public attention from
the true, the vital question involved.
That question is by virtue of what
authority of law the armed soldiers of
the United States dispersed the house
of representatives of the State of
Louisiana.
“ University of the South.”
We acknowledge the courtesy of the
management of the above-mentioned
institution, in forwarding us a Cata
logue for 1874.
The session for 1ST >, commences
March 13th, and lasts uninterruptedly,
for nine months.
The Episcopalians throughout the
South, should feel very proud of the
record of their University. The stu
dents represent sixteen State.* of the
American Union. Total number for
1874, two hundred and sixty-two.
The Faculty are represented by two
honored Georgians—Dr. John B.
Elliott, of Savannah, and our own
very highly esteemed fellow citizen,
Col. Frank Schuller.
Sewannec is reached by the Nash
ville & Chattanooga Railway, as far
as Cowan Station, and at that point
mountain railway, the Sewanee
Mining and Railway Company’s road,
begins its ascent, reaching the Univer
sity at a distance of about nine miles.
Perhaps a more definite notion as to
the exact location of the University
may he given to those who areacquaint-
d with it, by saying that the great
tunnel on the Nashville & Chattanoo
ga road passes not far from under the
University domain; so that it is about
one hundred miles south of Nashville
by rail, and thirty-five north of Ste
venson.
From Atlanta* ,
Thp Atlanta Constitution says: The
speech of Hon. J. G. Thomas, in the
House, in support of the bill to create
a State Board of Health, did credit to
his scientific attainments, his
ism and his oratory. No more ii
taut hill has been presented to the
Genera] Assembly.
The following resolutions were, in
troduced :
By Mr. McAfee—To direct the
Governor to provide the North Georgia
Agricultural College, 'at^DahlohHga,
with one hundred and fifty arms.
• PASSED.
The bill to create a new county out
of Clarke, to be called Oconee. • 1
*’ a Convention, " -m- ■
. The special order, Mr. Reese’s Con
vention bill, was taken up. It was fa
vored by Messrs. Feavy and Hudson,
of the Twenty-eighth, and opposed by
Messrs. Arnow, McAfee and Hester.
No vote was reached, and the debate
will bo resumed to-mori»w, An inci
dental vote, taken x>iw* voce, indicated
that the hill will lie defeated by a con
siderable majority.
Mr. Dead wrier—To prohibit the
sale of intoxicating liquors within three
miles of Cabin creek church, in Jack-
son county.
A hill to declare obtaining advances
on contracts and the abandonment of
said contracts,' leaving advances un
paid, a misdemeanor.
Tho bill called forth a long and ani
mated debate.
Messrs. Speer, Turner, Harrison and
Furlow, warmly opposed it, as one
sided and unjust to tiie laborer. To
he fair, the planter should also lie
punished for failure to carry out his
part of the contract. The discussion
took a wide range, embracing negro
labor generally, on which a variotv of
opinions were advanced.
Mr. Harrison thought the decline
in farm labor was due principally to
farmers themselves.
Mr. Furlow believed that negroc
were the best labor to he obtained in
the Btate. They worked well and
faithfully in his county. Treat them
justly and right, and you will have
little difficulty with them.
The bill was lo t by 12 to 116, and
yet, Georgia is hostile to the negro
race.
The entire session was consumed in
considering the biil to create a State
Board of Health. Mr. Baker was the
only one who spoke in opposition.—
Mr. Carlton made a spirited and co
gent speech in favor of the bill. Dr.
Thomas sustained the bill as amended
by the Committee in an elaborate
speech, showing the objects anti aims
of the measure and the importance of
vital statistics. Georgia was tho
healthiest spot in the world. This
measure will save the people fifty
thousand dollars in life insurance.—
Sickness imposed the heaviest .tax on
the people. Public health is public
wealth. The speech was highly cred
itable and so satisfactory to the House
as to secure the passage of the bill by
a vote of yeas, 60; nays, 48. The
Board will consist of one physician for
each Congressional district, to serve
six years. The Secretary gets a. sala
ry of one thousand dollars. Fifteen
hundred dollars is appropriated to
carry the act into effect.

The National Grange.—Char
leston, 6. C., February 12.—The
National Grange last night adopted
the report ot the committee on the
annual address of Master D. N.
Adams endorsing his recommendations
that the snhoroinate Granges be foster
ed by the National Grange and that
manufactures in the South be en
couraged.
From Washington City.
Washington, February 10.—In
the Senate, Mr. Clayton, of Arkansas,
introduced a bill construiug the act to
place a colored person who enlisted in
the army on the same footing as to
bounties and pensions with white
soldiers. Referred to the Committee
on Military Affairs.
Washington, February 10.—The
widow of the late Commander Cush
ing sent by express to General Alfred
Iverson, of Georgia, to-day, a swor.l
which had Ixc.i presented by the
citizens of Columbus to that gentle
man previous to the war. hut which
had been captured by Commander
Cushing in one of his raids.
Landaulet as Governor Gen
eral.—Attorney General Williams
appeared before the select committee
on Alabama affairs on Saturday, and
was interrogated as to his sending
troops into Alabama last fall. It ap
peared he had had no correspondence
with the Governor of the State on the
subject, but acted on information from
other sources.—Savannah Kars.
Mr. Young, of Georgia, offered a
resolution directing the Commissioner
of Patents to inform the House whe
ther patents arc now issued for chemi
cal compounds, and if not why not.
Adopted.
Gen. Butler then took the floor to
close tho debate on the civil rights hill,
lie said it had been charged that tho
hill was unconstitutional, hut it was.
in his opinion of the very essence of
constitutional liberty.
The gentleman from Mississippi,
Mr. Lamar, claimed the other day that
the white and colored people of his
•State ha<L equal privileges. If so. the
law was passed by a Republican Legis
lature.' If it was a good law, whv
was it not also adopted in the States of
Kentucky and Tennessee? If the
States endorsed such laws there would
lie no necessity for the passage of the
pending bill. Referring to the school
clause, ho said that he would not
insist upon it, because there was a
division of sentiment in the Republi
can party about it. As for himself he
would like to give all classes of people
equal privileges in the Schools, but if
the clause was insisted upon he be
lieved the eflect would be to break up
thecommou school system of the South,
and tho system never had a foothold
there. He continued at some length,
and devoted most of his remarks to
referring to the records of Mr. Brown,
of Kentucky, to show that he had on
gaged in the rebellion. He was called
to order, but was finally allowed to
proceed and finish his speech.
Hartford, February 10.—Senator
elect Eaton,, has been appointed to fill
the Buckingham vacancy.
Washington, February 12.—The
Appropriation Committee have agreed
to appropriate linTf a million to enable
the Executive Departments and the
Smithsonian Institute to participate
written arguments of the learned
Doctor in support of his scheme.
I have neither time nor inclina
tion to discuss. He has said for
his nfan/perhaps,' nearly all that
can be’said for it. iet‘I think he
does not make out his, case, and I
am sure there is not much proba
bility that the unification will eVer
be consumated. But several cir
cumstances, as I have reason to
know, have, in tho miuds of many
worthy people, conspired to place
the Methodist church in Georgia
iu a false position. My appre
hensions may bo groundless, but
it seems to me that the Methodist
church is likely, by many persons
to be held responsible for trying
to accomplish what others will
claim the credit of defeating. To
forestall, in some degree, what
would bo an unjust reflection upon
the church, (in which I have the
privilege of holding a humble
place,) when this really magnifi
cent scheme shall be finally de
feated, I ask leave, most respect
fully, to say that—Dr. Clark’s
scheme is in no sense a Methodist
scheme.
I grant that Dr. Clark does not
set up such a claim, but others
may -charge our church with its
paternity and advocacy. And this
would be unjust, for the Metho
dist church in Georgia did not
originate, as it has not endorsed
the scheme. No Church, or Quar
terly, or District, or Annual Con
ference, has either considered or
endorsed it. A bare majority of a
bare quorum of tho trustees of
Emory College did agree to the
plan in part, with such conditions
added, as in the opinion of a ma
jority of the members present,,
would never be met. This, and'
nothing more. Of tho details of
tho plan, I say nothing now, ex
cept that, in my humble judgment
some of them arc utterly imprac
ticable.
Concerning the general plan,
I rcspctfully venture to make a
few observations:
1. As to the practical working
of it, if it shall he found to bene
fit the denominational colleges,
at the expense of Franklin college,
the friends of the latter would fall
out with it and find means to
defeat it.’ If it should lie found to
benefit Franklin college at the
expense of the denominational
colleges, the friends of the lattor
would fall out with it aud find
mcanes to defeat it or olese he
" disintegrated and absorbed.”
2. Most lawyers say tho con
stitution of Georgia does not allow
such appropriations to the denom-
Thc bill tn appropriate thirty .tliuu-1 (national colleges as the scheme
sand dollars for the State Agricultural contemplates. If it does it ought
College at Athens, is the special order "
for Tuesday. I no J* . . . . . ..
3. The plan is unjust to the
weak denominations. They can
not meet its conditions and it is
unfair to tax the weak, who need
help most, to build up the strodg
who,, need it least. Were la
member, of one of these weak de-
junction was granted.
The creditor; by'H. & I. L. Field
er and G. B. Swann,-entered an ap
pearance, answered the; bill -mn<f.ex-

dissolution of the injunction.
On the 9th of December, the Cotrt
on motion, ordered that W. W. Flem

arid the case was set down to lie heard
in chambers, at Atlanta, ^n- the 22d
of December. ( . , . [,

his waiver in the mortgage, and can
