A State for Sale.—A good part of our sister State of Alabama appears to be for sale at public vendue by the tax collector. It is melancholy to see such an array of sales of this character in the country papers. Tlie Clayton Courier published at the county site of Barbour, prints five columns of them i embracing a large of property ldcftajA and Me&etytr, COTTON* FUTURES. The hazardous experiment, so free ly indulged In of tampering with cotton future*, has, as was to be ex j>eeted, resulted in ageneral and wide spread crash. Cotton has goae down, and many a poor fellow has gone down with it. The worst feature of the whole affair, however, is, that Southern men are, for the most part, the losers, and what adds to the se verity of the blow, the money goes off from the South, is pocketed by the Northern speculators, and leaves us poorer than ever. From all quar ters the cry goes up, and no money is to be had. There are some long faces worn here in Cartersville, but we are happy to say that the losses will be comparatively insignificant, and so small as to be covered by profits made in the earlier part of the cotton season. Our dealers are all clear headed, cautious men, and have not gone so far out to sea, that they can not easily put back into port. Here after we rather think they will go it on the “spot,” and let the futures take care of themselves, the differ ence being between legitimate trade, and little less than betting on the turning of the Jack. JUDGE JOHNSON. Judge Johnson, of the Muscogee Circuit, has decided that the law of 186 G, making it a misdemeanor for a planter to hire a freedmau who is al ready under contract to another man, unconstitutional, upon the ground that the law abridges the rights of citizenship, and establishes a system of compulsory labor upon a certain class of persons, as staled in effect by the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. The Judge argues that this is in real ity establishing, by law, involuntary servitude, when the Constitution de clares that there shall exist no such thing, except for the commission of crime, and Ibis law compels the freed om!) to remain with an employer from whom he desires to depart, and j whom he would leave if ho were at liberty to follow his own wishes. He decides that if a freedman abandons his contract before the time of service expires, that the hirer can only resort t<> m action against the freedmau lor damages, on the civil side of the Court, and cannot be allowed to pro ceed against the planter who may se duce his laborer from him, on the criminal side of the Court. Now, with all due respect to Judge Johnson, who is, on all hands, admit ted to be an able lawyer, whatever may be said of his well known radi cal politics, it may not be out of place to ask, if every man is not bound to abide by every legal contract which he makes with another, and if, in his exercise of his right to contract, a contract is freely made, without any improper force or influence, of his own free will and accord, how can the conclusion be drawn, that the servitude, which is voluntarily con tracted to be thus rendered, is invol untary. The contract is freely made, is a legal contract, and the servitude, which he agrees to render, is so far from being involuntary, that the Court himself admits that the freed man is liable in an action for damages brought upon breach of the contract. The Legislature has the right to make penal laws, and in pursuance :of this right, has enacted that any i one who may employ a freedman so I abandoning his contract with anoth ; er, shall be quilty of a misdemeanor. ; This, of course, applies only to the subsequent employer, and not to the laborer, and was made the law in or der to protect parties in honest con tracts, against the interference of third parties with their business ope rations. The law denounces this as a crime in the perpetrator, and leaves the laborer to abandon his contract, if he chooses, and run the hazard of a verdict for damages for the breach of his agreement, while at the same time it punishes the subsequent con tractor as guilty of a misdemeanor.— The planter whose contract has been abandoned by tire freedman, does not seek redress against the subsequent employer, nor can he, but is simply left to his action of damages against the freedman. The State asks re dress against tiie subsequent employ er, and not the planter, when she charges that a public law has been violated; the planter is not the par ty, but the State is. This decision we cannot and do not approv*. It is not in the interest of the laborer so much as it is in that of an intruder, who interferes to break up the busi ness operations of his neighbor by seducing his laborers to work on his own premises. TIIE STATE ROAI). The Atlanta Herald thinks it a lit tle singular, enough so at least to be come the subject of remark in his very taking paper, that none of the newspapers on the line of the State Road, above Atlanta, have called public attention to the mismanage ment of the lessees. And as we con fess to the fact that we are in that same category which has excited the remark of the Herald, we rise to ex plain, and have just this to say, that the most we could do in the premises, would be, were we to take this mat ter in hand, to reiterate in the ears of the people, that which is known of all men. Never before in the history of the road, has the peril of travel been so great, never so many and fre quent runs-off, and collisions, and delays, never so much apprehension in regard to life or property in trans it. The fact is, the road is only regu lar in its irregularities, and great trouble and inconvenience is, as a consequence, felt by the travelling and commercial public. A down right, clear, clean.trip through on the whole route, would now be consider ed as about the greatest accident of the season, and any body and every body will tell you so. As matter of news, therefore, it would be mere su pererogation, perhaps rather stale, for us to repeat in our columns, what the whole people know, without the aid of the newspapers. We have person | ally been repeatedly put to much se ! rious and vexatious trouble by the I everlasting recurrence of these rail road aecideuta aad uou-arrimla, aud the very b<*st that we co*ild do, was, J simply to “grin and endure it,” hop- j ing that surely In a short time, to u«e i the favorite figure of the famous phi- ; losopher, J. N\, the “pressure would be removed,” and “things would move easy.” As yet, however, we have been doomed to disappoint ment, and five to one, through the week, the chances are in favor of break downs in some form or otin c. \ \Ye have not the presumption to sup pose that any strictures we might make upon the dlnx tory of the road would have any effect whatever, for j we know that the President of the Board lias a head of his own, and needs not the advice of a wayside ed itor, who knows nothing about rail- , ronding. Verily, we eould’t even • advise or admonish the little Chero kee railroad, which rues from tiiis place to Rockmart, which only on Saturday last took it into its head not to be behind its greater neighbor, : and ran off the track just here at our i depot. No, not we, these railroad people might tell us to attend to our own business and let theirs alone, for is it not their road, and their lease, and their company, and their affair, and their loss, if any, and if you suf fer by your delays, and the break downs, and the collisions, and the &c., Ac’s, which are continually hap pening, as is admitted, the courts are open, and there are the lawyers, en ter your suits and bring us up to taw. We say we have chosen to keep qui et, hoping for better things, and must need continue to do so, even though we hope against hope. We would : have our trenchant friends of the Herald to believe us, when we say, that we have never yet received a fa vor of any kind from President Brown, not even the common com pliment of a free ticket on the road, nor do we have any reason to suppose that we ever shall, though justice re quires us to say that this courtesy has been extended to our editorial corpse, but limited to only one , and this has been incontinently gobbled up, with our full approbation, by our redoubt able confrere, Sam. 11. Smith, Esq. Seriously, we have chosen to be siient because we did not see that the at tempt to “kick up a dust” in the newspapers, and say hard things of Gov. Brown, would do any good whatever, and we have no desire to injure any one in any way; nor could we enter the list against the Compa ny’s management, unless duty to the public required it, and some reasona ble prospect of amendment as the re sult of our criticisms, not to say ex posures, should ensue. The road is in very bad condition. A man travels on it at a very great risk to life and limb; the delays are numerous and vexatious and injuri ous; the force on the road is not equal (if report be true) to its necessity; the freight boxes are loaded beyond their proper burthens, some carrying 20,000 to 24,000 pounds, instead of 10,000, and the people, in this region at least, are afraid to ride upon it.— All this is true, as we believe, and we would advise any one who is about to take a trip upon it, to carry along with him a lunch, strong nerves, and if possible, a life preserver. But af ter all, we hope that in a short time, the “veil will be lifted,” and “things move easy.” The Winter and l Spring have been unusually severe and stormy, the freshets numerous and unparalled, the earth frozen and | spongy when not saturated with wa ter, and every thing possible has warred with the'successful running: of this great thoroughfare. Truly Gov. Brown and his assistants have had a hard time, and the losses which the Company must have had by rea son of all these untoward circumsan ces, is, we should think, a rather stronger argument for increased en ergy and careful management, than any thing that could be offered by all the editors in the land. The Spring is opening now with fairer weather, and should the ex-Governor bring into play, once again, the old practi cal good sense, and unfailing atten tion which marked theadministration of the road when under the charge of Dr. Lewis, doubtless all cause of com plaint will be removed, and the les sees reap the profits of what must be to them a good bargain; collisions will be unheard of, runs-off and break downs unknown, or rare, and every locomotive under the care of vigilant and competent engineers and conduc tors, will, as he clips and slides along, make all the schedules in due time, and to the good of all. The Canton Coppqf mines in Che rokee county have been reopened and promises to yield handsomely. The Baptists of Louisville have organized a committee of women for the evangelization of the German population of that city. In Greenwood cemetery there have been buried 151,876 pers >ns. A Senate resolution eongratulate ing Spain on the abolition of slavery in Porto Rico wa.- passed. The Preisdent answers invitations from the South : “I have been com pelled by public duties to indefinite ly postpone my visit to the South. TEXAS ITEMS. The assessed wealth of Texas is $578,255,502. The railroad companies own one fifth of Kansas. Dallas is soon to get a cargo of ice from Kansas. At Waco, corn is selling at, 35 cents per bushel. Miningitis has prevailed with fearful futaiity in Dallas for so vend days past. Texas hay sold in San Antonio at from 75 cents to $1,25 per hundred. Ninety-one thousand six hundred persons made their homes in Texas during the year 1872. Walnut stumps have become an article of merchandise, and many of them are very valuable. The curly grain of the roots is used for veneer ing, and some stumps are worth $1.50, after being properly worked into shape. Female Suffrage in New York.—The lower house of the New York Legislature adopted a resolu tion yesterday that the judiciary committee be instrueed to report an amendment to the Constitution allow ing tax-paying female citizens to Vote. JSch?®** OurterwiUe Standard <£• Ex- 1 press:—ll J* a conceded fact, that ihe press is the most potent educational agency known to civilization. De pendent for its influence and success upon the intelligence of the rmgSes, its watchword has been “progress!” Without general diffusion of educa-! tlon newspapers could not exist, and without newspajiers the progress of education would be difficult, ;f not impracticable. The press creates pub lic opinion, whether by editors or contributors, stimulates enterprise, and adds to the intellectual and his toric! development of the whole people. The ablest writers all agree* in the assertion that “the press is the most remarkable phenomena of mod ern times, vitally affecting society in all its relations, and forming one of the political elements of modern free nations which the ancients had not even in embryo,” The power of the press, like all sub lunary agencies, is not an unmixed good. When directed by Integrity, sagacity, public spirit, independence, and disinterested patriotism, the press has no superior in the work of reform, material, moral and political progress, and the development of all the elements of true national great ness. As the press is dependent upon ed ucation for patronage, it would seem to be its highest interest to make ed ucation universal. Does the political press do its whole duty touching the subject of popular education ? Is it e nough merely to advocate the abstract subject of education, a proposition admitted by all and denied by none? If it is the province of the press to stimulate enterprise, give type to public opinion upon any subject whatever, where is the excuse for such profound reticency upon the subject of Common Schools? For more than four years the SUte of Georgia has had a provision in tier revised Constitution requiring a sys tem of public instruction: yet no one dares to advocate or denounce it, and why? Is there not more or less dla cauberism at work with politicians and journalists? Do not Legislators wait for the press to lead, and the press for the Legislature? Are all, from the petty politician to the grave Senator, afraid to “beard the lion?” May I be pardoned to say, there is a white feather too apparent. Your correspondent is not attempt ing to get up a fuss, but simply call ing attention to a subject of universal concernment. If the subject of com mon Schools is not one of public pol icy, why does it rceive so much re construction at each session of the Legislature? The people (nor the press) have never instructed their delegates touching tiiis question; nor do our candidates tell us their policy iu anything. This is all wrong. Men who aspire to stations of trust or hon or ought to have a policy, and that i policy should be made known to the | world, otherwise they exercise dele j gated power not for the pcoplfc, but i as they may think best; thus pervert* 1 ing the great principle of American ! governmental science first discovered ■ in 1770, viz: “those who exercise 1 power, do it not for themselves, but the people.” li we are to have a system of com mon schools as required by the Con stitutien for ait under the auspices of I the law, who pays the necessary tax, j and how? Speak, or else hereafter forever hold your peace. Candor. Messrs. Editors: —l was refreshed by reading the article of ‘Owe No Man Anytning,” in your issue of the 20th March. That article lias the ring of the pure metal, and i indorse it with empha sis. 1 think the amount recommend ed by the Grand Jury too low, how ever. I think 1 know your corres pondent, as we generally see things (politically) through the same glasses, ‘ie will please pardon me for a few additional items of change in our Constitution. Ist. To reduce the number of our Representatives to one hundred. 2d. To limit the majority of the General Assembly in the matter of creating debts, other than for defence, current expe. scs, payment of debts due, and interest on those not due; unless the debt proposed to be made shall have received tiie approval of the tax payers, at a general election ordered for that specific purpose. fid. To prohibit the Legislature from loaning the credit of tfie State to an individual or corporation. 4th. To authorize each county and incorporated city to determine the question of popular education, and tiie manner of its support. oth. To settle definitely the vexed question of payment or non-payment of tne so-called fraudulent Bonds. Gth. To fix the salaries of .State offi cers, and the per diem of members of the General Assembly. , 7th. To substitute Federal Govern ment for “Nation,” where it occurs in the present Constitution. I fie affair of the Credit Mobilier and the trouble in Georgia relative to the Bond question, are too fresh and con clusive to require any further com ment upon the policy of the Federal or State governmant. 1 can account for the sympathy and co-operation of Old-line Democrats, with this policy, only on the princi ple of political degeneracy. If there was ever a dogma, hated more than ail else by the old Democrats, it was “internal improvements by gove.n ment.” The action of the Federal Congress is both abused and imitated, by its abusers. Now that the President’s salary has been increased 400 per cent., we may expect the salaries of Governors increased likewise. If the people of a county want com mon schools, they should have them on their own plan and mode of main tenance. The present system has failed, because of Constitutional im pediments. 1 am friendly to a sys tem of common schools based upon equitable principles; and further be lieve, that no enterprise is more es sential to the prevention of crime, improvement of public morals, and a Ipgh standard of civilization. Old-line Democrat. Atlanta, Ga , ) April Ist, 1873. j Messrs. Editors: —l am in Atlanta, in obedience to an invitation from the polite Clerk of the U. S. Court, and am requested here to remain, until the proper time comes, for me to tell the mongrel Grand Jury what 1 don’t know about Ku Kluxes. In the mean time, I am allowed the privilege of a seat, (if I can get it,) there to wait and watch, and calmly reflect upon the progress oftneage. 1 heard a good deal of indignity expressed, in the country ami city, about the U. >S. Court being negroiz ed, and I felt some degree of repug nance in becoming associated with it in any manner, but, to my great re lief, upon a close examination, I found the Judge and Solicitor Gener al were white, the Marshals and Dep uty Marshals nearly so, and the Jury only slightly checkered with darkies. The colored “Gentlemen of the Ju ry” looked to me very much like or dinary negroes. They were quiet and unobtrusive, and deported them selves as individuals greatful for hav ing been employed on a good sitting down job, with nothing to do, and three dollars a day and mileage, for pay- It is astonishing, in these days of degeneracy, how auick our public muu become recouakxi to » disgpic©- ful innovation, and I was pained to notice that our first class Democratic lawyers, with total disregard to truth, and With not a blush upon their fact>s, commenced their just as they do l>eforea decent court, by say ing, “May it please your jOhno*', and gentlemen of the jury.” It is demor alizing for an honest man tojcosic in contact with tins sort of thing.

Our Cartersville gentlemen, who arc accustomed to have their arrivals in Atlanta commented on by this pa per, will know Ijow to appreciate the honor in the future. In view of the late est rt of Amos T. Akerman to put negroes on the jury, simply because they are negroes, 1 would like to suggest to some Chris tian gentleman of Cartersville the propriety of inviting him to repeat his address on the Bible, in the Pro - byterian Chruch. I think he needs another white-washing. Your townsman, John Erwin, is a member of the Jury, and his honest face shines among them, like a jewel in a toad’s head. Yours. Nemo. The Ku-Klux Prisoners. —A Washington dispatch says: “The government is still pardoning prison ers at Albany, convicted of ku-klux crimes, and unless there is postively reasonable opposition from the resi dents in the localities where the pris oners lived, all will undoubtedly be pardoned before very long. Such seems to be the disposition of the gov ernment.” Dead.— Mr- John M. Gannon, long and favorbly known in this city as one of its most enterprising and energetic merchants, was buried in the Augusta cemetery last Sunday. Mr. Gannon leaves many warm per sonal friends in this city, where he lived so many years. —Atlanta Sun.
