SUNDAY MOUSING, FEBRUARY 20.
W. A. lfuff, grain dealer in Macon,
Georgia, is selling corn at $1.25 per
bushel, when taken in lots of fifty bush
els and upwards, for present and future
delivery. It would appear that Huff
does not anticipate or fear that corn
will advance. We think he is about
right.

similar compliment to the brother who
experienced a like tragic fate.
Them Provisions.— An honest old
darkey, whose expectations of getting a
forty acre plantation and a domestic
jackass, for voting the Radical ticket,
were entirely sincere, now goes back on
his friends in this wise—“ Dem carpet
baggettin’ scalawag Itlleis, da tell us
dar war pervisions in the Constitution
for we collad folks, but dat was a lie—
dempervisions didn't come. ’Fore God,
niassa, I aiul seen de lust muu'ful ”
Thu people are beginning to realize
that the system of “reconstruction”
pursued by Congress has no limit. The
late of Georgia, in being remanded to
military rule alter it had complied with
all the conditions imposed by Congress,
indicates what may belall any other
State, should Cougress deem it neces
sary for political purposes. Mr. Bird,
an able Representative from New Jer
sey, spoke for a majority of the people
ol the country when, in the course of
the debate in the House, a few weeks
since, on the Georgia bill, he said :
If I understand the temper of the peo
ple, this strange, unnatural, and out
rageous interference with the rights of a
free people will never bo accepted by
those who sincerely love a constitution
al form of government lioneßtly and
faithfully administered. You may ap
pend this change to the Constitution,
hut the people of many States will nei
ther respect nor obey it. It will be
denounced as illegitimate, and those
who stand as its sponsors to day will in
the hour of its peril flee from its vindi
cation. It will be ignored and resisted.
Great and sovereign States will not
yield to an intolerable degradation at
the dictate of force, whether it be aimed
at them through a Congressional major
ity directly or through the action of a
far-off State. * * * The end Is not yet.
The system of reconstruction is a mon
ster which will create storm, tempest,
and disorder, until the people, by the bal
lot or otherwise, overthrow the authors.
There is no safety from despotism but in
preparation to reject this flagrant
wrong; and let the issue come. If we
save ourselves and this great political
inheritance, we must do it through the
just and fearless vindication of thosa
rights by some so long despised and re
jected—the rights of the States.
Drugs, Etc. —Hood, Tatum & Cos.
have in store a large, fresh and pure
stock of drugs, chemicals, etc., which

The attention of merchants, physicians
and others wishing anything in their

Mohr Remarkable Cures.— A lady
from the country named Adaline Ilog
ers, the other day visited Dr.
the celebrated occulist, at his rooms at
tho I’erry House. From childhood her
vision trad been impaired from a defect
to the eyes. After examination, Dr. B.
supplied her with a pair of glasses, and
she found as soon as she put them on
that she could read the finest print with
perfect ease. It was almost restoring
sight to the blind. Another lady told
us that the Doctor had furnished her
with glasses of just that peculiar color
which was most grateful to them, and
that she felt as if her sight had been re
newed fresh as in youth. The Doctor
has fitted glasses to the eyes of a num
ber of tho leading lawyers in Columbus
who are warm in his praises. The
Doctor has benefitted hundreds of suf
ferers since he came here, and we ad
vise all whose visions are affected to
call on him. He is one of the men
about whom there is no humbuggery.
If he can do you no good he will tell
you so.
Free Lunch . —lt is proposed that
Gen. Terry’s machine shall take a re'
cess for sixty days, the per diem o 1
members continuing as usual. It is
computed that this will cost the State

than that, if they remained in session ?

(JOVEBNOB’S MESSAGE.
Atlanta, Ga., February 16,1870.
To the Senate and House of Representa
tives of the Provisional Legislature:
Some misapprehension having arisen
as to the effect of the act of Congress of
December 22, 1869, upon the ordinary
legislative acts of the Legislature of
1868-9. I deem it proper to say that,
in my judgment, the act of Congress
referred to does not render invalid any
of the ordinary laws passed by those
bodies.
The reconstruction acts of March 3,
1867, and July 19, 1867, in express
terms, declared that “no legal State
governments” existed in the States
therein named ; yet the ordinances of
the Convention of 1865, and the acts of
the Legislature of 1865 and 1866 have
been uniformly, by the military author
ities and by our own courts, held legal
and binding. The “scaling ordinance”
of the Convention of 1865, “theevidence |
law” of 1866 both acts of immense im
portance, were, during the whole of the |
administration of Gen. Pope and Gen. I
Meade, enforced by the courts as valid '
and binding laws ; yet these acts were ;
passed by bodies which Congress de
clared to be Legislatures of no “legal!
State Governments.”
General Pope and General Meade
were pat in command in this State to
enforce “the laws.” The Courts of
Georgia sitting under the administra
tion of the military authority of the
United States never for a moment seem
to have thought that the acts of the
Legislatures of 1865 and 1866, were not
laws ; and yet Congress had, in express
terms, declared that “no legal State
Government existed in the State.”
It would seem from this action that
the declaration of Congress, “that no
legal State Government existed in the
late Rebel States,” must be understood
in a qualified sense to-wit: No legal
State competent to take part in the Gov
ernment of the Union and proper to be
recognized as State Governments under
the Constitution of the United States.
It was not the intent of Congress, by
any of its reconstruction legislation, to
render invalid any of the laws passed
by the Legislature it subsequently de
clared illegal, except so far as those
laws were obnoxious to the Conslitu
lion and laws of the United States.
It is true, it has not been the policy
to permit the legislative assemblies, as
such, to convene and legislate, except
for specific purposes during the miltary
regime, but the whole practice of the
government has been to recognize as
valid laws actually passed and not re
pudiated by the United States.
The simple fact that from March,
1867, to July, 1868, the courts of this
State, during the administration of
Generals Pope and Meade, and before
the Convention of 1868 had ratified
those laws, administered without ques
tion the ordinances ot the Convention
of 1865, and the acts of the Legislature
of 1865 and 1866, is a judicial detei mi
nation of the highest tribunals known to
our law, that the ordinary laws of said
bodies were valid and binding as the
acts of a Legislature de facto , however
illegal the bodies might themselves
have been as State Legislatures in view
of the reconstruction acts.
During the existence of the military
supervision meetings of legislative hod
ies, except for specific purposes, have
been deemed incompatible with the ac
tua , state of affairs; but in all the States,
laws passed by bodies meeting as such,
when the military power was, in fact,
withdrawn, have been uniformly re
cognized and acted upon as valid and
binding.
It is, therefore, I think apparent from
the uniform action of the courts and of
the United States authorities that the
laws of the Legislature of 1868 and 1869,
and its acta which were not of a politi
cal character, are perfectly valid, not
withstanding the United States, by the
act of December 22, 1869, has in effect
declared that “no legal State Govern
ment existed in this State” at that time,
and that the impression which is sought
to be created, that they are invalidated,
that State bonds are repudiated, and
that corporations organized upon the
basis of the late legislation are without
legal foundation is entirely groundless,
and Buch impression is only created for
the purpose of misleading the public
mind, and defeating the full effect and
true intent and purpose of the recon
struction acts. Argument upon tnis
pniiit soome to be superfluous in the face
of the material fact that our bonds are
saleable at a higher rate than those of
any other Southern State, and that the
bonds of railroads, which have been
endorsed under the authority of legis
lation of 1868, are selling at their full
value.
It has been suggested to me from va
rious quarters, that it would be wise for
your body to take some action for the
temporary relief of the people from the
present pressure for the payment of the
war debts contracted before 1865, now
made doubly burdensome by the late
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States, that those contracted be
fore 1862, are payable in gold.
As, however, in my judgment, until
your action to complete the reconstruc
tion of tho State is accepted by Con
gress, it is not proper for you to under
take general legislation. I would re
spectfully suggest that you adopt some
resolution expressive of the wishes of
the General Assembly on the subject,
with the hope that the General com
manding may, by nis order, cause the
same to he enforced.
When the last step in the reconstruc
tion work shall have been taken by the
declaration of the result of the Senator
rial election, I would respectfully re
commend that a recess be taken for
such a time as may, to you, seem best
pending the action of Congress for our
admission.

Provisional Governor.
ALABAMA LEGISLATURE.
Wednesday.
Senate passed a bill to establish
a precinct entitled Witter’s Shop, in Lee
county ; to enable G. W. Salter, of
Macon county, to sell certain lands ; to
revive section 1321 of the Revised Code
[states who shall be liable to work on
public roads]. The following were re
ferred : to increase the efficiency of the
militia of Alabama ; a joint resolution
complimenting Generals Terry and
Crawford and the troops of their com
mand [refused to lay on the table by
yeas 10, nays 15] ; to more perfectly
secure the payment of R. R. bonds ; to
form anew county to be called Cuba ;
to establish laws lor the maintenance of
the poor of Alabama ; to grant the right
of consolidation to certain railroads ;
to legalize the organization of all com
panies under the act of the General As
sembly of Alabama, approved August
5, 1868, entitled an act to amend section
1755 of the Revised Code of Alabama,
so as to extend the provisions thereof
to life insurance and mutual aid compa
nies. A joint resolution was reported
providing that the sections of the Mobile
municipal bill which were erased shall
apply to the City Surveyor and the Tax
Assessor of Mobile.
House adopted a resolution providing
for finding out the manipulators of the
Mobile municipal bill. A bill similar
to the one in the Senate in reference to
the erasures in said bill, was referred,
and a resolution that an election be
held by the people of Mobile on the sec
ond Tuesday in April, was postponed
indefinitely—yeas 41, nays 28. The
bill to establish an Agricultural College
was discussed and made the special or
der for Friday.
Thursday —ln the Senate Sanford
reported adversely to bills—to donate to
Jackson county the State tax for 1870-1
for the purpose of building a courthouse
and jail; to amend section 41 and 59 of
the revenue law ; and favorably to bill
for the relief of the tax assessors of
Montgomery and Barbour counties. The
bill, with amendments offered, was re
ferred again. Pennington reported fav
orably on bill to regulate agencies of
life insurance companies of other States
doing business in Alabama, and the
bill passed. Pennington reported a
substitute to the bill to regulate com
mon carriers. Motion to lay the whole
subject on the table was lost—yeas 8,
nays 17. The substitute, which gives
the same rights, protection and accom
modations to all persons, irrespective of
race or color, iu Alabama, was then
adopted, the substitute taking the
place of the original bill. Mr. Worthy
offered the following amendment, viz :
Provided, that said common carrier
shall be allowed the privilege of provid
ing equally comfortable separate accom
modations for the races, and may not
be compelled by this law to force the
races to travel in the same carriages to
gether; provided further, that it shall
be the auty of all conductors of railroads
to protect the taraveiling colored public.
Pending the discussion of the amend
ment, the Senate, under suspension of
the rules, went into consideration of the
House bill providing for the extension
of certain State bonds, due and payable
in London on the Ist day of Jane, 1870.
Passed.
The hour for the special order having
i arrived, the majority of the special com
mittee on the Mobile municipal bill re
: ported, correcting and recommending
i the re-enactment of the same; which
: was received. A minority report on
; the same bill, was presented by Brom
berg ; which was also received. The
latter report provides for an election of
municipal officers of Mobile in May.—
After considerable angry discussion,
participated in by Bromberg, Farden,
Coon, McAfee, and Worthy, both re
ports were referred to a select commit
tee, and made the special order for Fri
day, 10 a. in. Pennington reported
favorably to the bill consolidating sev
eral railroad companies, and the bill
passed. McAfee, from the Judiciary
Committee, to whom was referred a cer
tain resolution of inquiry as to the un
lawful use and application of school
funds in certain counties, reported pro
gress and asked additional instructions
and further time.
In the House the bill to amend sec
tion two of the act to allow towns, cities
and counties to subscribe to capital
stock of railroad companies, was refer
red. The bill to confer additional pow
ers on the Jacksonville, Gadsden, and
Guntersville Railroad company, passed.
The bill to declare the meaning of the
Mobile municipal bill was called up.—
Proskaur moved to indfinitely postpone
the bill. Burton and Strobach said the
bill should be referred to the Judiciary
committee, because even if the supple
mentary bill should pass, it would be
illegal. After further debate, further
consideration of the bill postponed until
Friday. Hardy reported favorably,
with amendments, to the Senate State
Aid bill,and pending the discussion, the
House adjourned.
Friday. —ln the Senate, the Commit
tee on Education reported a bill making
an appropriation for educational pur
poses—bill passed. The same commit
tee reported bill approprsating $208,000
to pay teachers who taught schools dur

ton proposed an amendment providing
that whenever claims for services in
teaching are held by others than teach
ers they shall only be paid at the rate
they were purchased, with the: legal in
terest added; amendment laid on the
table and the bill passed. Committee
on Registration reported a bill to pro
vide for the registration of voters, and
to pay the expenses of registration. Re
port received, and pending discussion
on it, a message was received from the
Governor notifying that body of the ap
pointment of Chas. Pelham, Green T.
McAfee and Arthur Bingham, addition
al corporators of the institution for the
deal, dumb and blind. The discussion
of the registration bill was resumed,
and on motion it was recommitted with
instructions. The Mobile municipal
bill was taken up, and, pending the dis
cussion, the Senate adjourned.
In the House, Senate bill to regulate
publication of notices in the several
counties in Alabama, was referred to
special committee. The Mobile munic
ipal supplemental bill declaring the in
terlineations in the origins’ bill null and
void, was taken up, and after consider
able discussion, and motions made and
lost, the bill passed—yeas 45, nay 30.
Bill authorizing administrators to sell
stock in the Savannah and Memphis
Railroad at private sale, passed. Joint
memorial to Congress for removal of
disabilities was taken up. Motion to
indefinately postpone was defeated by
57 to 10. Substitute was then offered to
remove disabilities from loyal citizens,
and the whole subject was laid over to
Monday night. Dill to onpodito oon
struction of railroads in Alabama was
made special order for Saturday.

Gold in New York during the week has
ranged between 119% and 119% closing last
night at 119% Currency Is abundant for the
cotton business. For local purposes money Is
tight, though cotton blits and other good col
lateral readily command It.
CoTTOir.—The receipts continue very heavy
at the ports. Thus far the excess is some 450,000
bales over last year. There are very few
who now think the l . S. orop will be less than
2,750,000 and many go as high as 3,000 000 and
some a little beyond. An estimate, which
upon examination of statistics seems to be
very fair, gives the number.of laborers In the
cotton fields of the South at 700,000. Four
bales to the hand, with the help of fertilizers,
Is a large average with the best of seasons,
fn some quarters It Is more, In others less.
This will afford a crop for 1870-1 of 2,800,000
bales, if everything proves favorable. In the
estimate of laborers it mast be remembered
that women have been.taken altogether from
the fields. Before the war, It was with diffi
culty that planters could get mothers to rear
yonng children. In our cities and on the
farms negro Infants are becoming scarce. The
mothers care little about them. The census,
which will be taken this year, will show a
heavy decrease in the negro population. Far
mers In this seotion are complaining of the
scaroity of labor. Freedmen prefer working
in bodies on the large plantations. While
some have more workers than last year, many
have not near the same number. There have
been few emigrations to the West. After
awhile, many negroes who are loafing around
the towns, will be forced, by want, to the fields
As long as cotton brings 20c. and over, and
costs 15 to 16c to make it, there will be a heavy
force to undertake its culture. Fertilizers are
more extensively bought than was ever known
In this region. Our tables show the receipts
at this point after the present date for each
year since the war. We do not think much
over 65,000 bales, if that much, will come here
this season. Our Information Is that there Is
very little more cotton In the country than last
year. Frlceß are tending downward, and will
bo governed by receipts. We notice that in
New York mixed packed, stained and Inferior
oottonß are being sold at auction.
A count taken yesterday showed the stock to
be 1,470 bales less than reported. We have
altered shipments to correspond. The cotton
is principally owned by farmers who have
obtained advances and manifest little disposi
tion to press sales. Only a few buyers have
been in the market during the week. A large
amonntof choice grades is among the stock
and the receipts average excellent. On Sat
urday, Sunday and Thursday nights rain fell.

OBITUARY.
Very early on Friday morning last died Don
ald Fbaskb, formerly of Scotland, but who
for many years was well known to ouroltlzens
and to those in the neighborhood of Troy, Ala
bama, where he once resided. He was a wor
thy man, and his death Is much lamented. He
was noted as being an educated pharmacolo
gist, and the confidence that our people plac'd
in him remained. He had been long a sufferer
from asthma and lung disease, and the lamp of
life, as for him, was extinguished before tenad
reached his thirty-eighth year. On his native
heath, the Highlands of Scotland, where he
was born and reared, his dirge will be sounded,
and what are left of the clan of the Cameron,
will cross their hands and avert their faces
when they learn that another has gone.

Hair Vigor,
■ M
For Restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
tA dressing which is,
at once agreeable
healthy and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or gray
hair is soon restored
to its original color
with the gloss and
freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thick
ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed
or the glands atrophied and decayed
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
inient, it will keep it clean and vigor
ous. Its occasional use will prevent
the hair from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent baldness.
Free from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations danger
ous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor
can only benefit but not harm it. If
wanted merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
uotning else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy
lustre and a grateful perfume.

Professor M. Bernhardt, Optician
and Oculist: I oheerfully state to you that a
further acquaintance with you and your most
excellent Glasses has confirmed my tlrst Im
pressions aito your skill and their superiority
over the general run, and 1 recommend all
whose vision is In any way Impaired, as mine
untortnnately Is, to avail themselves ol your
services. Respectfully,

Tbe difference between l)r. Bern
hardt and most Opticians Is, according to my
observation, that while they pretend to more
than they know, he knows more of his business
than he professes. W K Bowling, M D.

Executive Dep’t Columbia, June 10, ’67. y
Sir: 1 have made full and satisfac
tory test of the apeotacles procured irom you,
and 1 have the pleasure to say that the glasses
are better adapted to my eyes than any 1 have
ever used. The faollltles with which you fitted
the glass to my eye furnished me conclusive
evidence of your scientific skill in optics, and
your thorough experience as anooullst.
Your attainments In your profession entitle
you to the confidence, patronage and gratitude
of the publlo.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
yours, JAMES L. ORR,

HAVING observed the advantages accruing to Planters from the use of THE EE <y CON
CENTRATED FERTILIZERS, and becoming convinced that it was impossible to obtain
the best results, or realize the highest profits from planting without a liberal use ol these
Manures, I determined to place myselt in a position to supply the Planters with an article of
the very best description, and have made arrangements with a Manulaotuior, of tbo highest
reputation, for a supply of
DUNHAM’S SOLUBLE GUANO!
WARRANTED EQUAL to any FERTILIZER ever offered in the market.
Prof. Shepard, State Chemist or South Carolina, to whom a simple was submitted for Anal
ysis, sent the following: certificate :
“The result of my analysis of the “DUNHAM SOLUBLE GUANO” provos it to be a »ihst
Fertilizer, well adapted to Cotton and Corn Crops.”
This Fertilizer has a very large per centage of Soluble Phosphoric Acid
and Ammonia, the two elements most necessary to Vegetable growth. It is
manufactured from materials containing those ingredients in the largest ratio,
compounded iu the proportions which experience has proved will promote in the
highest degree the growth of the crop to which it is applied, aud the permanent
fertility of the soil.
Besides the above, I offer salo the following list of Fertilizers, all W'arnmted
PUKE and GENUINE and win sold at the LOW E.mT Prices !

SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO
John S. Eeese & Cos., Baltimore, General Agents.
The Reputation of this Ouano is so well established in the Southern States as not
to require especial commendation from me. It is well known that, its use has rea uei .
to the Planter a profit of from Three Hundred to Six Hundred per cent: Numerous
certificates could be published substantiating this fact. .
Planters are cautioned to procure their supplies from theundersigned nut bru
ized Agent for tlie Pacitic Ouano Company, as spurious articles,
bearing a somewhat similar **“*>*> *'«P*«o*d upon the markets, hence planters are

“Pacific Guano Co’s Compound
Acid Phosphate of Lime,”
For Composting with Cotton Seed.
This article is manufactured at the Company’s newly erected works at Charles
ton, 8. C., under the especial superintendence of Dr. St. Julian Ravenel,
whose well-known reputation in the South affords a sufficient guarantee of its
purity and excellence.
It contains the same elements of fertility as the Soluble Pacific Guano,
except that it is not supplied with ammonia. Cotton Seed affords the cheapest
possible source of ammonia, hence when composted in equal parts with this
article the equivalent of Soluble Pacific Guano in fertilizing properties is obtained
at a material saving of Cost to the Planter. It is prepared from tbe South Caro
lina Phosphate now so well known aud appreciated lor their valuable fertilizing
properties. The compost can be easily made with but little trouble and labor,
which will be more than compensated by its economy. Particular printed direc
tions for making the above compost will be furnished by me on application.
Pacific Guano Co’s Dissolved Bones.
This article is manufactured atthc Pacitic Guano Company’s works at Charles
ton, S. C., under the direction of Dr. St. Julian Ravenel and is warranted to
be made exclusively from unburnt bone, hence contains all its animal
matter and ammonia, and is therefore far superior to Dissolved Bone made from
Burnt-bone or Bone black, as is commonly the case. It possesses all the elements of
fertility in their very best form and proportion, hence will not disappoint Plant
ers whether used alone or mixed with Guano.
Jno. S. Reese & Co’s Flour of Raw Bone.
This article is warranted pure unsteamed bone , reduced to the fineness of flour.
The best results have been obtained by using it in combination with Soluble Pa
cific Guano, Peruvian Guano, and with other fertilizers.
Marietta Mills Flour of Raw Bone.
WARRANTED GElx VINE.
The use of this well-known fertilizer has given full satisfaction and it may be
relied upon for its excellence.
Mapes’ Superphosphate of Lime.
The numerous Certificates showing the successful results from this fertilizer
during the past season warrant me in recommending the same to the planting
community. _ _
PERUVIAN GUANO.
The supply of genuine Peruvian Guano is nearly exhausted and early applica
tion should be made to get orders filled.
