ffonjpst (Srcnjian. PUUI.ISHED ON WEDNESDAY MORNING —by—r H. H. CARLTON & Co., Proprietors. H. It. CAKLTOX, Editor. 'WEDNESDAY MORMXIJ, FEB’Y 17. 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 kansns nflail*, has produced a “ start- aprojxts arttele from the Chronuie <fr Ureteral Local and Traveling Agent. Capt. J. E. Rrroit, la tha July a-ilhorised i"aot of the North-east Omuiii. r»rT' Riti-ii la aim the duly authorised agent of hat apien<tlil weekly, the *• Sunny South.'’ 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. in the Centennial.. This is for a suit able building,.shelving, clerks’ hire, etc. ft 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. ' Tha Cincinnati Commercial says a nephew of Stonewall Jackson mar ried a niece of George B. McClellan at Denver the other day. There will ben fight iu that family, sure. 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. 'T have in store all to armfe'UO hhlf ^ of Early Rose, Early Goodrich and 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. • To authorize tax collectors to levy and collect ta.xfi.fas. ’^.create a new county.Out of parts larke, Greene and c*l$d Oconee—i itprs y^onsyt- craturfls that neddflotrbe mention ed here, make me reluctant to say anything in relation to the Rev. denominational colleges in Geor- _ (Tin.—Tho— elaborate -and aWy -mortgage-creditor.

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- bibita} ijhe mortgage, and prayed a dissolution of the injunction. On the 9th of December, the Cotrt on motion, ordered that W. W.

[, His Honor Judge Erskine holds and, decides, that the debtor was bound by his waiver in the mortgage, and can not claim tbeaprpnorty as exempt to him under the bankrupt law. He orders and decrees, that th$ temporary injunction granted in the case be desolved.
