THE BARBERS PREFER PR. TUTl’a HAS DY£>
The Press on tfite Bofid Matter.
The press, as far 08 we have noticed,
can be classed as follows:
1. Those in favor of a fall investiga
tion, believing the subject one to be de
cided upon an equitable basis, that will
best promote the honor, interests, and
prosperity of Georgia—in other words,
yet on the fence Enquirer —Atlanta
Constitution, Atlanta Son, Cuthbert Ap
peal, Early County News, Albany News.
2. Those directly in favor of a compro
mise of our bond troubles—Savannah Ad
vertiser, Savannah Republican, Macon
Telegraph, Columbus Enquirer, Bruns
wick Appeal, Catoosa Courier, Talbotton
Standard, Griffin Star.
3. Those opposed to all investigation
and compromise: Augusta Chronicle, Sa
vannah News, LaGrange Reporter, New
nan Herald, Columbus Sun, Augusta Con
stitutionalist, Rome Commercial, Rome
Courier, Rome Bulletin, Milledgeville
Union, Athens Watohman, Thomasville
Enterprise, Houston Home Journal.
4. The Atlanta Herald is on mixed
ground. It is for paying the foreign
bondholders of the bad bonds and against
the others.— Atlanta Constitution.
We clip the above as republished in the
j Columbus Enquirer on yesterday, merely
| to put the Columbus Sun right on the
I record. We are classed as “opposed to
| all investigation and compromise.” This
ia not true, as all know who have read the
editorials of this paper. We have already
had an investigation, full, fair and con
clusive, at great trouble and expense to
the tax-payers, and one which command
ed the best honesty and intelligence of
the Legislature and the ratification of the
voters of Georgia. If the Investigating
Committee committed error, let fh.a,t error
be corrected. Thus far, we are in favor
of investigation, but we are firmly op
posed to see our Legislatures running
around like kittens after their tails in the
same tracks, pulling up on the old spot,
suddenly in wonder, and then look
ashamed of their ignorance when the ob
ject is caught.
We are not opposed to compromise,
but to paying millions of bonds fraudu
lently issued by Bullook & Cos., and so de
clared under the oath of an intelligent
and legally We
are still more opposed to see the proud
State of Georgia asked to sell her honor
for $1,500,000 and interest, on condition
that her credit be “ re-established ” and
she enabled to borrow money. We deem
snch a proposition an insult (as it would
be, if accepted, a disgrace,) to the State.
A State must have reached the lowest
deep of degradation when, after being
stripped and wounded by robbers, it con
sents to sell itself into bondage (literally)
to “banks and capitalists”—speculators,
thieves and receivers of stolen property
with full notice of the crimes. God for
bid !
A CALL TO THE PRESS.
The New York Herald of the 10th has
an able editorial headed, “A Call to the
Press of the United States—Will It Unite
Against Dishonesty ?” The Herald seems
alarmed at the late developments in Con
gress and the progress made everywhere
by corruption. It appeals eloquently to
an independent Press in the last resort to
save our country.
The Herald, like all intelligent agen
cies, well knows the powers of the Press
for good or evil. It well understands that
there are thousands who will turn a deaf
eartooalls from Pulpits, Families, Schools,
and even Jails aud Gibbets, who turn pale
at a pnblio exposure of their crimes.
When Catilina attempted to overthrow
the Roman government, he first tried his
arts of corruption on the Roman youth—
modern conspirators, more cunning, assail,
through money, the integrity of the Press.
They first try to muzzle this ever watchful
three-headed dog with his thousand eyes,
by a sop made of gold, office, influence.
Even Bullock had rascality enough to play
this little Chinese game, and was fool
enough to think that the cards were not
seen under his sleeve. The trick was dis
covered too late, but its revelations are
now too evident in Atlanta in millions of
spurious bonds.
Our object, however, is not to write an
article, but simply to commend to the
Press the extracts below from the Herald
article:
Frauds on the people always existed to
some extent, the slipshod apologists will
say. It may be admitted that all govern
ments have been more or less the susten
ance of corruptionists. In former times
this dishonesty was jealously screened
from the public gaze. Its growth was
slow and the cycle of corruption was a
limited one. At times it broke forth, and
the people saw it, frequently without the
power to arrest it, until the State was in
volved in the certain ruin which follows
on such rottenness at the core. We had
better, however, keep our eyes fixed on
the evils that assail our institutions, be
cause crime cannot long be hidden now;
its existence can be instantly communica
ted to the people, aud they always have
in their hands the power to reform abuses
and to punish those guilty of perpetrating
them. In America to-day fraud and cor
ruption are of rapid growth. They are
shameless and audacious because of the
impunity which attends their commission.
* * * * * * *
Look back to the gigantic army frauds,
wherein men wrung wealth from the very
blood of the Republio. Recall how the
red-handed plunderers were able to buy
off opposition in one direction and buy
support—cheaply, too—in another. The
people, betrayed in their trust by all but
the very few, could scarcely form an opin
ion on the guilt of the criminals until long
after the plunder was secured. The frauds
on the internal revenue tell the same sick
ening story of treachery, triumphant steal
ing and increased public apathy. A vica
rious sacrifice satisfied the little public
spirit left. Carpet-bagism, with its atro
cious usurpation and spoliation, found its
defenders as naturally as the army de
frauders and revenue defaulters. It had
its convenient offset in Ku-Kluxism, which
found its defenders as naturally in the
opposition press. To do lasting service
to the carpet-baggers it was thought
enough to throw mud at the Ku-Klux ; for
the contrary effect the treatment was
simply reversed ; but the partisan press
never dared to take the just course of con
demning both and calling on the friends
of good government to put a stop
to both. So with the Louisiana imbro
glio. The press of either party con
tents itself with championing the Legisla
ture which it believes represents its par
tisans, careless of the shame which a con
tinuance or the burlesque upon popular
government brings to the nation. In our
own State, too, did not the Tamamny
“Ring” frauds find their spacious dafend
ers in the Democratic press, and has not
the press of the dominant parties here,
since the overthrow of the “Ring,” labor
ed sedulously to turu what should be the gain
of the people into the gain of its associate
politicians of the same stripe, and of the
hungriest order ? The election frauds of
1868 and 1870 in New York found their
Democratic press defenders ; the election
frauds of 1872 in Pennsylvania and the
Southern States found their champions in
the Republican press. The Credit Mobi
lier frauds and perjuries—which brought
to the dust men once so highly esteemed
are smoothed over as much as possible by
the Republican press, simply because the
majority of the slaughtered are Republi
cans. When one Democrat was included
it can be recalled how fiercely the most
virulent among them flew at his throat
View the Caldwell case and the Pomeroy
case. These men have their partisans yet.
We may step down from politics and see
how, even in murder, the partisan press
can fight over a corpse.
Now, what is the remedy ? It is this.
Let the press all over the country, North,
South, East and West, in this crisis, fling
off that yoke which binds it to the sins,
the crimes and the frauds of any and all
parties. It might be too much to ask
them to step boldly into the ranks of the
independent press in the high and full
sense of the term; but, if it will not stand
aside altogether from party, it can every
where take sides against dishonesty with
out any sacrifice that honorable men
should regret. We ask the entire press
to unite in the denunciation of corruption
in every rank and circle, political or so
cial, republican or democrattc. The Tam
many “ring” should ba prosecuted in re
ality, and the Credit Mobilier offenders
followed to the limits of the law. Offend
ers of every class should be promptly pre
sented, and the expulsion of the guilty
Congressmen demanded.

letter, advocates' the bond compromise.

Immigration Convention.
SECOND DAY.
1 ADDRESS FROM COL. D. WYATT AIKEN.
An address from Colonel D. Wyatt
Aiken, of South Carolina, was the special
order for the morning. Colonel Aiken
condemned in unmeasured terms immi
gration from the South to the West. The
misfortune in the South is that we have
no concert of action. The object of his
mission in the Convention was to explain
the workings of the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry. The Order on b .nated with
a clerk in the Agricultural Department in
Washington. He went on to Washington
and saw that the Order was a good thing,
and wonld benefit the South, and he
therefore took hold of it. He explained
at length the manner of organizing subor
dinate, State and National Granges. The
object of the Order was to develop, agri
culturally, our great country—North,
South, East and West. If there was one
idea in the Order which was valuable to
the farmers of the South, it was that the
word “credit, ” so far as trusting a man
was concerned, was stricken from its vo
cabulary. The members of the Order
sold for cash and bought for cash. At
the conclusion of Colonel Aiken’s address,
several questions were put to him by
members of the Convention in regard to
the manner of organizing Granges, all of
which he answered fully and satisfacto
rily.
LIMB AS A FERTILIZER.
Mr. T. C. Howard delivered an interest
ing discourse on “Lime as a Fertilizer.”
Out of this grew a debate on the freights
on lime charged by railroads. Speeches
were made by Messrs. Howard, Yancey-
Barrow and Butler, and a resolution adopt,
ed appointing a committee to confer with
the railways, and, if possible, to secure a
reduction of freglits on lime.
Professor E. D. Smith, State Geologist
of North Carolina, delivered an address
on the Mineral depusits of Georgia, which
was able and instructive.
By urgent request, Dr. H. H. Tucker
gave an account of a recent trip to Eu
rope and his views on Immigration. He
thought French settlers could be obtained
by proper encouragement.
Prof. H. C. White, of the Stale Univer
sity, read an interesting paper on Agri
cultural Chemistry.
Col. D. E. Butler addressed the Con
vention, denying that Georgia was broken
down. We were not bo poor that we had
to stretch out our hands and say we would
perish without the help of immigrants.
He believed that negro labor was the best
for us, and we ought to try to keep our
colored population from emigrating from
the State. If everybody went to work in
a proper manner Georgia would soon be
far more prosperous than she was before
the war. We were not orippled—we were
just rising in our strength.
THE NEXT CONVENTION.
Mr. Greer, of Jones, offered a resolu
tion that the invitation of the Council of
Athens be accepted, and that the next
Convention of the Society be held in that
place. Adopted.
Mr. Clapp, of Tennessee, presented a
report on direct trade between the South
Atlantic ports and Europe. He recom
mends different Southern States to unite
in granting subsidies to steamship lines,
and invited labor and capital from the
North. The report was adopted.
The Convention adopted a memorial to
Congress in favor of the Great Western
Canal, after which the body adjourned.
The telegraph has given full synopses
of this, immigration reports and Congres
sional memorials.
A grand banquet was given by the city
to the Convention, iu Clara’s Hall, at 3
o’clock Wednesday afternoon. Three ta
bles were laid—2so present. The dinner
was an elegant and recherche affair. After
the removal of the cloth, Major Joseph
Gauahl, chairman, called the guests to
order, and made an appropriate welcoming
address. Speeches w ere also made by Dr.
Tucker, Hon. Thomas Hardeman, Hon.
G. A. Trenholm, General A. H. Colquitt
and others.
On Thursday, the Convention discussed
tlie question of commercial fertilizers.
Dr. H. R. Cook, of South Carolina, read a
paper on the subject.
Col. G. W. Rains, of Augusta, referred
to some of the suggestions made by Dr.
Cook. Too much attention, he said, could
not be paid by the agricultural communi
ty to the importance of nitrogen and phos
phoric acid in fertilizers. These two
things were absolutely required to pro
duce seed, on even vegetation itself. Both
of them, nitrogen in the form of ammo
nia, and phosphorio acid, were found in
condensed form in good commercial fer
tilizers. He had not found a single ferti
lizer which did not possess a oertain
amount of value. But what the farmer
wanted was those fertilizers which pos
sessed in the greatest degree the two ele
ments he had mentioned —nitrogen and
phosphorio acid. Where there was luxu
riant vegetation and lit tie fruit phosphoric
acid was required to produce a greater
amount of fruit; who i .mall plant and
sufficient fruit, a larg.: quantity of am
monia than other feri Ui/. >rs, to cause
ranker growth of the plan,. Cottonseed
contained a great amount of ammonia and
was very valuable, but the seed must be
decomposed in order to set the nitrogen
free.
The committee appointed to consider
the benefits of a railway system to con
nect Augusta, Chicago and the Great
Lakep, made a report strongly advocating
the construction of a route from Augusta
via the Savannah Valley and iiabuu Gap,
and recommending that Congress be re
quested to lend the enterprise national as
sistance, and that a committee be appoint
ed to prepare a memorial to Congress on
the subject. The report met with oppo
sition, headed by Colonel G. W. Adams,
of Forsyth, and was untended by simply
recommending the route and aid, without
appointing a committee to prepare the
memorial.
Col. Stubbs, of Laurens, offered the
following resolution, which was adopted:
IResolved, That a committee of five be
appointed by the Chair to confer with the
officers of the different Fair Associations
of Augusta, Columbus, Atlanta, Savan
nah, Thomasville and all other local as
sociations in the State with a view to closer
co-operation of such associations with the
Georgia State Agricultural Society in fu
ture, and that said committee report at
the Augusta Convention of this Society.
Committee to National Agricultural
Congress —Messrs. B. C. Yancey and J.
M. Mobley.
Wednesday night the Executive Com
mittee of the Society entered into arrange
ments with the city authorities of Macon
for holding the State Fair there this au
tumn. Macon gives the use of the
grounds, furnishes the premium list, and
gives the Society a bonus which, with the
two latter items, amounts to about $9,000.
The Committee also decided to allow
horse-racing at the Fair for the first time
in the history of the Society. This morn
ing Col. Yancy called the attention of the
Society to the fact, and moved that the
Committee be instructed not to allow
racing. A warm discussion ensued, and
the advocates of racing finally had the
resolution tabled by a majority of three
votes: so racing will be allowed.
Notice was given that at the next meet
ing a resolution will be offered to abolish
the Assistant Secretary and Commission
er, and reducing the number of Vice
Presidents and the Executive Committee.
The Convention adjourned to hold the
next session at Athens.

Cotton Situation. —The receipts at the
United States puns are n.w 418,844 bales in ex
cess of those of last year to this date and the
Stock Columbus shows 15,297 more
bales than in 1872 and a stock af 1,722 more.
On the week the Columbus stock has decreased
34 bales.
India shipments this year to February Bth
were 70,00 b, against 133,000 last year.
The world's visible supply last Saturday
showed an increase over last yearof 4,618 bales; :
the total last year was 2,299,828; last Saturday
2,303,846.
Heavy increase of receipts at the United i
States ports and declines iu price at Liverpool i
and New York constitute, the history of the
week. On last Saturday nearly 5,000 more I
bales of eutlun wore in sight than the corre
sponding date in 1872. The prospect at present
is not iavurable to higher prices, but looks to I
a further depression
The weather in this seotlon this week has
been favorable—almost lUe Spring—and farm
ers have availed themselves ol the opportunity
to commence work iu earnest. In all parts of
the country are evidences of busy preparation
for planting. No complaint of a scarcity of
laborers is made. This portion of Georgia and
Alabama has lost little by white or colored em
igration. The vast majority of the people are
content with their present homestead's and a
State that is governed exclusively by Southern
whites, and where order and quiet rule.
Large quantities of the best fertilizers are be
ing purchased. It is to be hoped that much
will be applied to oorn fields. If our farmers
will plant plenty of grain, next Fall they can
save all their cotton money, not be compelled
to borrow or be credited at a ruinous interest,
can sell tbeir great staple when they please
and be prosperous and happy. The making of
plantations self-sustaining is their only salva
tion from debt and disaster. Planters cannot
too Btrongiy or too frequently be urged to this
course. The present rich ones have done so
with the fewest exceptions.
The receipts of cotton at this point during the
week have been nearly double those of the cor
responding period last year. There is every
prospect that nearly 7,000 bales will be received
here during the remainder of the season. If
the ratio of the past three weeks be maintain
ed, a large amount may be expeoted, but this
is hardly probable.
The sales of the weok have been compara
tively small and the market very dull. Most
has been purchased for Eastern spinners as has
been the case the entire season. Producers
have proved liberal sellers this fall and winter,
as a comparison of oar receipts and stock with
those of last year testify. The amount bought
tor speculation has been comparatively small,
The business of this seotlon has been and is
seriously embarrassed by tho dilatory move
ments and bad management of the western
roads. St. Louis freights have been on the
way thirty and sixty da\s and still not arrived.
In the meantime our merchants are out of their
money, losing interest and the selling goods.
Much of tills delayed freight has been traced to
the St, Loqis and Southeastern road, whose
flimsy excuse is “blockaded by ice.” That is
too thin to be continued lor two months. It is
hard indeed that business men cannot get the
goods they paid for. St. Louis Is losing much
trom this oauso, and if it be continued, cannot
sell anythirg in this market. The complaint
not only exists here, but in all our nighborlug
Qities.
Meat and corn are low priced and promise to
remain so.
Another gin-house has been burned this week,
making 73 in Georgia during the season.

What Time Hat Taught It.
It has taken two thousand years to teach the
world that to sustain the body In Its conflict
with diseas*', not to help disease by weakening
the body, is the true end of medicine. We have
the lesson by heart at last, however. We
know, for example, that tearing doses of aloes,
salts, jalap, croton oil, calomel, colcynth, Ac.,
are the best allies that a debilitating malady
can have In Its assaults on the human frame;
and that a medicine like Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters, which strengthens all the bodily pow
ers and rallies the sinking constitution, Is the
most powerful antagonist of the morbific prin
ciple, whatever it m»y be, that lies at the root
of the complaint. This knowledge has been a
long time in reaching us, but it has been inval
uable. We can now control and cure dyspepsia,
bilious disturbances, constipation, rheumatism,
nervousness, and many other painful com
plaints once considered incurable, with this ad
mirable corrective.
