§^“Remcmber the day—Saturday, Feb
ruary 12th.
Gen. Toombs.—Gen. Toombs made one
qf his characteristic speeches in Atlanta
tie other day. He reviewed Radicalism
in ■Georgia,.and declared that the present
•constitution wis the work of negroes and
thieves, and was not designed for honest
men. He says the Constitution should be
changed this year. How is the time.
Members of the Legislature have no right
to act upon the question bqryond submi tting
it directly to the people. He declined to
speak on centennial matters, b ut declared
that he would not accept amnesty with
Daria left out. He favor s an honest
homestead, but not one designed for
swindling purposes.
We cannot endorse orie-tenth of what
Mr. Toombs sayB, but -we cannot consent
to abuse him. He tea s a great man, but
‘note (we write it m ournfully) he is a
monomaniacal, disei ised-livered, billious
•old fossil remnant o f the day9 of Slavery
“■“■I “"»««inn Q< .n -‘jjiayeil
out” when theSov.th seceeded, and as a
leader, he will ev> er remain so.
As an evidene e of the warmness of the
discussion grov dug out of the Convention
question, we Veprint the following extract
froin the sp eqial correspondent of the
Savannah A few's: “Those who opposed
the billref er to Toomb s speech as repre
senting ti , e sentiments of the Convention
party, w hich the Convention men 4 deny,
andvef er the advice given by Mr
Stepb en8 on dying bed against the
-c&li’ (1 g 0 f a Convention. Mr. Brown, of
Ho
aston, favored the bill, and while
jnying that he endorsed all that Toombs
nad said, compared the record of Toombs
and Stephens, and argued that Toombs
was more worthy of confidence. He was
not willing to take the advice of any man
' who had endorsed Grant’s revolutionary
t n^fyires in Louisiana. He advised the
mektol’s 10 act - on their owu judgment,
regardless of what Toombs and Stephens
jj^uid say.
P^The discussion having drawn to a close
in the House, the Convention bill, as
amended, passed by a vote of 177 to 27.
The bill as it passed requires the Gover
nor to order an election of delegates on
the first Wednesday in January, 1877, to
a Convention to be held on the second
Wednesday in March, of same year. It
is understood that the Senate favors the
Convention by a small majoiity, but
whether that body will pass the bill as
amended, remains to be seen. The ques
tion is settled at any rate, that we will
have no Convention this year.
From the first to the close of the dis
cussion the excitement has been intense,
and each day the galleries were crowded
by both whites and blacks.
Journalistic.—We are in receipt of
the Free JVesa, a new daily just started in
Savannah, by Mr. R. M. Orme, formerly
of Milledgeville. It is a neatly arranged
paper of twenty-four columns, and the
salutatory of the editor is able, wise and
judicious. We wish it abundant success.
Another new candidate for public favor
is the South East Georgian, published at
Blackshear, by Mr. H. M. McIntosh, of
the Quitman Reporter. The Georgian
makes a pretty showing.and Mr. McIntosh
being a thorough newspaper man and
good editor, we predict for him success
in his new field of labor. All Henry
needs is for the people of Pierce county
to sustain him.
Gen. A. U. Lawton has been appointed
a member of the National Democratic
Committee,’ vice Gen. A. R. Wright,
deceased. This is an excellent appoint
ment, and one which cannot fail to give
entire satisfaction to the people of Geor
gia.
The bni to appropriate a million and a
half of dollars.to the Philadelphia Centen
nial passed the Lower House of Congress,
by a vote of 146 to 130. It will easily
pass the Senate, and then the agony is
over.
THE GE0B6IA LEGISLATURE—
LOCAL LEGISLATION
It it really provoking to read the
peurile attacks made upon the present
Legislature by a considerable numoer
of puny newspapers aud han </ corres
pondents. Not only thl-, but every
preceding Legislature has been the'
subject of tbes vituperative attacks,
though -in ..e sublime wisdom of the
assail -.-it tne last one is always the
Wirs;, -nod the others become bodies of
•‘patriots" and “statesmen" by compari
son. A stranger, jndging from these
reports, would take the Georgia Legis
lature to be a pack of imbeciles, fools or
knaves. Now these members were
each and all elected by direct vote of
the people, and if they are satisfied with
their choice, we do not see why the
newspapers should give themselves so
much unnecessary uneasiness in regard
to the matter.
Our judgment is that the present
Legislature, in point of talent, ability
and a desire to please their masters—
the people—will compare favorably
with any we-have ever had since 1860.
We have kept up pretty well with the
proceedings, and fiod that no bill inju
rious to th ■ interests of the State has
been passed, while some very salutary
measures have been taken and disposed
of for the good of the people. If only
the Treasury is secured so as to prevent
another disheartening defalcation, great
good will have been accomplished. And
no doubt the present body will dispose
of the State Road, which it is thought
can be done for $6,000,000. If so our
debt can be reduced to something over
$2,000,000, which will reduce taxation
to a nominal sum, aud that is what our
people most want.
And there is a hm and cry raised
against the multiplicity of local bills in
troduced for consideration. It is claim
ed that the majority of them are unim
portant, from which opinion we dis
sent. Are not the Representatives
elected to represent their constituents ?
Then it must be remembered that each
county in the State is entitled to a voice
in the General Assembly, and the Rep
resentatives of these counties are recre
ant to their trusts if they do not urge
the measures which they are delegated
to attend to by the people of said coun
ties. **
In almost every county in the State
there is some important change needed
that can only be effected by the Legis
lature, ana ir these wanes, tbough small
they may be, are unattended to, the
wishes of the people arc defeated and
Republican government is not only a
failure but a farce. Hence the numer
ous bills that are introduced at each ses
sion. Because the county of Rabun
don’t want a chain gang, is that any rea
son why the county of Decatur is not
entitled to it if her people so desire. There
aresome counties in whichCounty Courts
work well, in others they dp not. Would
it be right to make them general, be
cause, for sooth, it would save time in
legislating? No man, who stops a min
ute to thiuk, can fail to see the neces
sity of a vast amount of local legisla
tion. Some or it, as a matter of course
is unimportant, but no matter how. much
so it is right that it be considered.
This Itowl against- the Legislature is
all wrong, for it causes grave questions
to be rushed through without sufficient
consideration. The acts of any public
body are justly liable to criticism, but
we prefer to await for something to
criticise before we sneer at and attack
a body of honest men, whose only fault
seems to be that they were preferred
by their constituency before those who
assail them without provocation.
0UE “MOST EXTRAVAGANT
STATE GOVERNMENT "
The last issue of the Talbotton Stan
dard points out some of the monstrous
extravagances (?) of our present State
Government, in support of its assertion
of the week before, that we have “the
most wasteful and extravagant State
Government in Europe or America.”
The mountain has been in labor, and be
hold ! a prodigiously small mouse is
brought forth. For instance, the astute
editor of that lively sheet, is horror-
stricken at the idea of giving the At
torney General of our great Common
wealth the pitiful salary of $2,000 per
annum He thinks it outrageously ex
orbitant, and besides don’t see the use
of that office at all.
Another wasteful piece of folly and
extravagance, according to the same
authority, is having a Clerk of the
Supreme Court with a salary of $2,000
per annum, when there’s many a man
who would willingly take the job for
$800. The Governor’s pay of $4,000
he would rednee, while the Agricul
tural, Health, and Geological Bureaus,
should be instantly abolished. The
$20,000 for public printing be consid
ers an outrage upon the tax-payers of
the State. These with the School Fund,
are the main “extravagancies" that oar
friend points oat: and we now snbmit
the question ; After all his labor, hashe
not, like the mountain in the fable,
bnmgbt -forth one of the littlest of tiny
mice ?
Now for the 'benefit of oar own read
ers, we will compare the expenses of our
State with the expenses of others New
Jersey, one of the best governed States
in the Union pays her Governor $5,000,
and paid last .year for pnblie printing
the sum of $78,205 29, or over $58,-
000 more than "Georgia pays. That
State levies a school tax of $1,225,592-
21, or nearly twelve times as much as
the people of Georgia pay -for-the same
purpose. The inaugural expenses of
the Governer of new Jersey were over
$2,000. New Jersey has a population
of 906,096 The -population of Geor
gia is 1,184.109. There are thirteen
States that pay their Governors larger
salaries than does Georgia, four that pay
the same, and the rest pay less. Takin:
everything into consideration, our opin
ion is that Georgians - have as little to
complain of in the way of taxation as
any people in the American Union.
We have not the slightest doubt
to the perfect honesty of the
editor of the Talbotton Standard in
his denunciations of the present State
administration, but be is mistaken
woefully mistaken—that’s all.
THE CENTENNIAL
If we have the public sentiment
rightly estimated, it is more than prob
able that Georgia will follow the exam
ple of Virginia, in regard to the Cen
tennial, at least in spirit if not to the
letter. Writing upon this subject, the
Atlanta correspondent of the Savannah
News, says:
“The recent debate in Congress on
the amnesty bill, in which an effort was
made to exclude ex-President Jefferaon
Davis from its operations, has clanged
the minds of many who had hitherto
been warm friends of the proposed
Centennial. They now oppose any kind
of an official recognition of the exhibi
tion on the part of the Southern States.
If private individuals wish to attend
and participate to any extent they may
desire, well and good as a personal mat
ter. But if ex-President Davis, the
represntative man of all the late Confed
erate States, is to be singled out for ex
clusion from that grand fraternal gath-
eriiJf|pinless he may choose to come in
as an alien aod a foreigner, among his
own people, it is argued that no South
ern State can retain its self-respect, and,
at the same time, lend its official sanc
tion and give its official presence to the
Philadelphia Centennial movement. It
is not for Mr. Blaine or Congress to ask
whether or not Gen. Toombs or ex-Pres
ident Davis desire to be re-invested
with citizenship, A great and magnani
mous government would never scop to
ask such a question, but would grant
the b on in such a way that its accept
ance would be assured by the very man
ner in which it was bestowed. A blow
struck at Mr. Davis, because of his of
ficial connection with the Confederacy,
is a blow aimed at every State which
helped to form it. Can these States,
then, under such circumstances give
their official sanction and presence to
the approaching Centennial ? I find
here a strong feeling that they cannot.
And doubtless Georgia, under such a
condition of things, will follow the lead
of Virginia and decline to take any offi
cial part in the demonstration.”
Twk Would on th® Centennial Job.
The New York World persistently and
ably opposed the Centennial appropria
tion It takes its defeat philosophically
enough. It says: “The only consola
tory circumstance in the Centenaial job
isAbefact that throughout the coming
isaiie tact w ^ impossible for
the ReifubHear press and politicians to
chaw as they were certain to fa.sely
cliaw’upon the Democratic party, and
especially upon Southern Democrats
votin" against the -Centennial appro
priation, % lack of patriotism and -of
national feeling. That lie would have
been distended to as huge dimensions as
the Ku-Klux lie. the Bloody-bhirt lie, or
anv other of the Republican campaign
canards which constitute the only present
stock in trade of the party of great moral
ideas. That gun is spiked ; and it is the
only consolation we see for the passage of
this unconstitutional, unnecessary and
extravagant Centennial job. file vote
stood as follows :
Yeas 146—Republicans 86; Democrats
55-, Independents 5. Total, 14G.
Nays, 130—Dem mocrats 106 ; Republi
cans 19 ; Independents 5. Total, 130.
John Christian, of the Sparta Times, is
on a tour through Texas, and in a letter
to his paper We find the following para
graph :
Most all writers writing from Texas
are influenced one way or the other, and
always write favorably, but we are not
eating any free-liash or dead-lieadiug on
any railroads, therefore are uninfluenced,
and will write facts, as we see them at
least.”
Long John is certainly in a new role if
he is “not eating any free liasli or dead
heading on any railroads.” We’ll bet a
thrip he comes back with a free ticket
over every road in Texas.
Ah Ha.—Those who have been sayiDg
that “prominent Democrats” have been
deprecating Mr. Hill’s speech, will be
surprised to hear that his speech was in
the exact line mapped out by a Democratic
caucus held the night before for that
purpose. He was told to “show up the
Southern side of the question,” and he
nohly did that needed work.

Nobly Said.—After the adjournment
of the Mississippi Legislature on General
Lee’s birthday a subscription was taken
up in behalf of the proposed statue of
Lee, when over three hundred dollars
were realized Senator Furlong, a former
Federal officer, in handing his contribu
tion (fifty dollars) said:
“As one who wore the blue and fought
for four years in the army that opposed
General Robt. E. Lee, I am glad to have
an opportunity of contributing my mite
towards the erection of a monument to
the memory of one of the greatest military
chieftains, bravest soldiers and purest
Christian gentleman that this or any
other age or country ever produced, and
one of whom all true Americans ought to
feel proud.”
The Washington correspondent of
the Augusta Chrwnicle thus describes
the location of the Seorgia members
during the delivery of Mr. Hill’s speech.
Gallant Phil Cook, who the day
before had indignantly told Blaine that
thousands of the victims of the suffer
ings endured in Northern prisons could
be found in “Georgia alone," when the
noisey mouthed demagogue and blus
terer had suffered, had surrendered his
seat to Mr. Hill, and sat with his face
to his eminent colleague. Across the
narrow aisle sat Hartridge, calm and
erect; Harris sat dose to Hill, to help
him with the authorities he required in
his argument. Smith sat in his own
seat, closely watching the scene with
more or less anxiety upon his counte
nance; Blount and Candler, whose seats
are adjacent, were absorbed listeners
and spectators—Blount with his head
upon his hand, his face betraying no
particular emotion, and Candler with
lis face wearing chat curious equivoke
of expression that utterly forbids one
to know whether he is pleased or dis
pleased, entertained nr annoyed, amused
lisgusted. Dr. Felton occupied his
accustomed seat and the floor held no
more delighted listener, to the noble
oration of his old classmate: The
doctor can hardly be said to have illus
trated the decorum of the house that
day as I saw him more than once ap
plauding in a very hearty and demon
strative manner.
SOMETHING NEW— AGENTS ’.-ANTED IN

twelve feet high, and-from two to three
inches in diameter, on good land. It makes
finer syrup than any other kind ever raised
in America, and also fine sugar can be made
from it. The seeds are all fresh, last Fall’s
productions.

one-half of an acre, with directions for
planting and cultivating, and my general
seed price list, with special terms to agents
