to the farming prosperity. There hasaheady been
a large quantity of corn planted, and still the work

A “Semi-Centennial Jubilee Convention of the
Diocese of Georgia” will be held at Savannah on
the 2Ut of May. Bishop Wm. Bacon Stovers, of
Penney 1 v..nia, will deliver a discourse ou the early
history of the Episcopal Church of Georgia, and
Bishop Beckwith will preach tbe convention ser
mon.
This Savannah News iuforms ua that Mr. An
drew Sloan, the Republican contestant for Col.
Morgan Kuwls’ seat iu Congress, has concluded
taking leititnony in his case. The New* under
stands that he has failed to prove fraud in any of
the returns, though some trifling irregularities,
which Inevitably atteud elections, have been
established, not only against his opponent, but
agslust hitn. Col. Kawla’ name has been regular
ly enrolled as a member of the next Congress.
From the Sun we learn that Judge Purmedus
Reynolds, of Covington, is in a very critical condi
tion. He has been confined to his room for two
month* with dropsy of the chest, and a dispatch
received last evening by Col. R. F. Maddox of this
city, states that ha is gradually growing worse
snd is not expected to survive much longer.
Judge Reynolds is well known in Georgia a* one
of her beat and most intelligent citizens, and the
State cau ill atiord at this time to lose the coun
sels of cue so worthy.
Tua Baltimore Gazette has some kind words to
say tor Georgia, and thinks we are a sensible peo
ple in some respects. For example: Georgia has
lepesied all usury laws. It bas done more than
this. It is determined to be a great manufactur
ing State. And there is uo reason wbv it should
not be. Its water power is excellent. Trade has
revived in Savannah more than at any other city
in the South except New Oileans. The State Gov
ernmeul is gradually becoming more stable, snd
the labor disorganization is adjusting itself. So
Georgia ha* an idea that the State is to he in the
future the manuiacturing centre of the South, and
to tucilitate this the Legislature has exempted
from taxation for ten vests all capital invested in
cotton and woolen mills, iron iurnaces and iron
manufacture*.
There has been much •peculation relative to
the Cabinet founded on the report that recently the
members of it bare formerly teudered their res
ignitions, thus necessitating uew nominations to
the Senate. A dispatch of the s:h, evidently sent
out by authority, says the question was settled
last fall, soon after the re-election of President
Grant.
At a Cabinet meeting all the members being
present, they Informed him they wishing to do
nothing whatever to embarrass him in bis admin
istration they would tender resignations to taka
effect on the 4th of March ensuing. The President
expressed his thanks for their friendly feelings and
Informed them that be bad no desire for any to
withdraw, but preferred they should all remain, as
nothing rad since occurred to change the position
ot affairs. The only immediate change will be in
the Secretary ot the Treasury, should the present
incumbent be elected to the SeDate of the United
States. The opinion is that the President need
not renominate the members, for confirmation by
the Senate is strengthened by the lac’ that all of
them were at their respective departments to day
attending to their official duties, and it t taid by
gentlemen iu executive positions, that no such
nominations will be made.

.Hr. Stephens and his Friend*.
A correspondent of the Ban, writing from Craw
fordsvilie on the 28‘.h, gives a brief mention of a
reunion between Mr. Stephens and a large body
of hi* friends, on the previous evening. About
?>£ o’clock a large concourse of people had gath
ered in front of “Liberty Ilsil” for the pnrpose
of serenading Mr. Stephens. The band discounted
sweet music, and after playing a few spirited and
lively airs, in response to loud and repeated calls,
the “Great Commoner” appeared and made one
of the happiest speeches your correspondent ever
had the pleasure of hearing. Bonfires were kin
dled in various parts of the spacious yard ; and it
assuredly presented a unique and picturesque
scene.
Shout after shout rent the air and made the
welkin ring, as they applauded the “ words of
roberr.ess and truth,” uttered by the sage of Lib
erty Mali. Mr. Stephens’ hits—his “sales plauti
nos”—were incomparable. After holding the
crowd 6pell-bound for nearly an hour, Mr. Steph
ens said he would trespass no longer on their
time, but in conclusion would remark, be had
been charged with being a “ Bourbon.” In re
gard to that he had nothing say at present, <xcept
that if tbe crowd would just step inside they
would find ns good old Kentucky “ Bourbon” as
ever refreshed the inner man, and as to how they
might take it, that was entirely a matter of taste
with them; but as for himself be never took it,
except medicinally, and then he took it
“Straight.” Acting upon this invitation thus
extended, the crowd followed, filling every nook
and cranny of the hail, passage, porticoes, parlor
atd (lining room, where, in response to a toast
and most felicitous speech from Mr. Thurman, of
the Greensboro Herald, Mr. Stephens again lul
minated. There was such a jam and squeeze your
correspondent couldn’t get within hearing dis
tance, but old “Liberty Hall” to its centre ebook,
as yell after yell, and sbout after shout went up
from the enthusiastic listeners By dint of exer
tion we elbowed and “camored”our way through
the densely packed crowd, and it seerne 1 as if in
truth and in fact Mr. Stephens “ would bring
down the house,” as in thrilling and fervent lan
guage he expressed his earnest hopes of grand
triumph—a regeneration aud renaissance on Jefler
somou principles in 1876—the centennial celebra
tion of the American republic.
Supremo Court Decisions.
The Supreme Court of Georgia has decided that
it ia not sufficient to make a mortgage lien good
against a homestead and exemption under the Act
of 1868, that it was given in lieu of another mort
gage on the property, unless it further appear
that the first mortgage or lien was a lien superior
to the right oi homestead. This decision was de
livered by Justice McKay on the 4th.
On the same day Chief Justice Warner delivered
tbe opinion of the Court iu a case carried np from
Stewart county which will attract attention. We
quote from the official report:
The plaintiff held an execution against the de
fendant, Lucy J. Bonneli, for the rent of a house
and lot. The defendant was a widow who had a
homestead *et apart tor the benefit of herself and
her minor children on a tract of land with which
the house and lot rented by her from the plaintiff
in fl fa, had no connection. The widow rented
her homestead plantation from Ward tbe gar
uishce, and the question iu tbe case is whether
the rent due her for the use of her homestead from
her tenant is subject to the payment of the plain
tiff’s debt lor the rent of a house and lot wholly
disconnected with her homestead? The Act of
1869 declares that tbe produce, rents or profits of
a homestead shall be exempt from levy and sale,
except as provided in the Constitution, and ex
eep‘ for stock, provisions and other articles used
iu making tbe crop, necessaries for the family,
medical services and tuition for education. The
rant of a house and lot wholly disconnected with
the homestead is not one of the exemptions men
tioned in the Act. but it is said it ia included in
tbe words, “ necessaries for the family.” But we
think the fair interpretation of these words, when
taken in connection with the other word* of the
Act, and the obvious intention of that Act, is to
confine them to such necessaries for the family aa
may have been furnished in msking the crop on
the homestead; in other words, the necessaries
for the family must have been furnished them in
connection with the enjoyment of the homestead
property, such as was necessary for the family in
the cultivation of tha crops raised thereon, and
for tbe support of the family whilst doing so to
enable them to enjoy the benefit thereof. A con
tract for the re t cf a bouse and lot, haring no
connection with the homestead property whatever,
is not, in our judgment, within the purview of the
Act, or In accordance with the true intent and
meaning theieof, the more especially as it does
not appear that it was necessaries for the family.
Let the judgment of the Court below be af
fir med.
The New Lien Law.
An Act to regulate the Law of Liens iu the
State of Georgia:
Section 6 Be it fr.rther enacted. That factors,
merchants, landlords, dealers in fertilizers, and
all other persons furnishing supplies, money,
farming utensils or other articles of necessity to
make crops, and also, all persons furnishing cloth
ing and medicines, supplies or provisions for the
support of families, or medical service, tuiticD or
sclit’ol books, shaij have the same right to secure
themselves from the crop of the year in which said
thiugs are done or furnished, and is now given by
law, under the act of 1865-66, to factors, wiib the
following conditions : All of the liehs provided
for in this section, must be created by special con
fract in writing, and every person giving a lien
under this section, having previously given a lien
or liens under it, or any other lien, shall, when
given anew lien under this section, on the same
property to another person, Inform such person,
if interrogated as to the facts, of the amount of
such lieu or liens, aud to whom given ; and such
person giving false information as to the facts
aforesaid, shall be guilty of the same offense as
that of persons fraudulently making a secoud
deed, uuder Section 4511 of the Code and pun
ished as herein prescribed : and the lien* created
uuder this section are hereby declared to be upe>.
rior in rack to other liens, rxcept liens for taxes,
the general and special liens of laborers, and the
special lieus to landlords, to which they shall lie
inferior, and shall, as between themselves and
other liens not herein excepted, rank according to
date, and shall only exist as litns on the year in
which they were made.
Approved, February 24th, 1873.
Thebe is circulated in Europe, everywhere, as
pamphlet in which every device is employed to
pievect the assertion el (migrants of preference
for homes in the South. There is a picture of a
bright, pretty cottage on one page, surrounded
with all appliances of comfort and taste, that dis
tinguishes a New Englandei's home; on the op
posite page is a picture of a Southern farmhouse
and negro’s shanty. Fences are overthrown—
there are no flowers, save those that smile simply
because the sun shines so brilliantly and rains fall
eo softly, and the seasons are so kindly aud full of

g cunda about the wrecked, uncared-for Soutbe.n
homestead, and the abiding place of the laborers
is more repulsive than a pig-stye. It might be
well, says the Memphis Appeal, to have a few
Southern publications distributed over Europe,
aud yet there are no organiied agencies for this
purpose in the South, aud can be no perfect reme
dy for evils of gross misrepresentation of which
we complain.

FORSYTH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING MARCH 11. 1873.
From W'aihinjlon-The inaugura
tion.
Grunt is Piesident for four years loDger, if
Providence so decrees.
Inauguration day was bitter cold, and doubtless
contributed to render the pageant less imposing
than was expected. One epecial to the Constitu
tion eays the decorations were poor, and the pro
session not up to expectation. It was exceeding
ly tame.- The inaugural address is an extraordi
nary document, snd is understood to have been
“ Grant’s own.”
THB INAUGURAL.
Under Providence I have been called a second
time to act as the Executive over this great na
tion.
It has been my endeavor in the past to main
tain ail the laws, and so far as lay in my power to
act for the best interests of the whole people.
My best efforts will be given in the same direc
tion in the future aided, I trust, by my four years
experience iu the office. When my first tetta of
office of Chief Executive began, the country had
not recovered from the cSects of a great internal
revolution, and three of the former States of the
Union had not been restored to their federal rela
tions.
It seemed to me wise that no new questions
should be raised so long as that condition of si
fairs existed ; therefore the past four years, so far
as I could control events, have been consumed in
the fcflort to restore harmony, public credit, com
merce, and ail the arts of peace and progress.
It is my firm conviction that the civilized world
is tending towards Republicanism or government
by the people, through their chosen representa
tives, and that our own great republic is destined
to le the guiding star to all others. Under our
republic we have an army less than that of any
European power of any standing, and an army leas
than that of either of at lea-t five of them. There
couid be no extension of territory on this conti
nent, which would call for aa increase of this
lorce, but rather might such extension enable us
to diminish it. The theory of government changes
with the general progress. Now that the tele
graph is made available tor communicating
thoughts, together with rapid transit by steam,
all parts of a continent are made contiguous for
all purposes of government, and communication
between the extreme limits of the country made
easier than it was throughout the old thirteen
States at the beginning of our national existence.
The (fleets of the late civil struggle have been
to tree the slave and make him a citizen. Yet he
is not possessed oi the civil rights which citizen
ship should convey with it. This is wrong, and
should be corrected. To this correction I stand
committed, so lar as Executive influence can
avail. Social equality is not a subject to be legis
lated upon, i or shall I ask that anything be done
to aJvauce the social status ot the colored mau
except to give him a lair chance to develop what
is good in him ; give him access to the schools,
snd when he travels let him feel assured that his
conduct will regulate the treatment and fare he
will receive.
Ihe States lately at war with the general gov
ernment are now happily rehabilitated, and no ex
ecutive control is exercised in any one of them
that would not be exercised iu any other State
under like circnmstances.
In the first year of ihe present administration
the proposition for the admission of San Domingo
as a Territory of the United Btates was not a
question ot my seeking, but was a proposition
from the people of San Domingo, and which I en
tertained.
I believe now, as I did then, that it was for the
best interests of this country for the people of
San Domingo, and ail concerned, that the propo
sition should be received favorably. It was, how
ever, rejected constitutionally, and, therefore, the
subject was never brought up again by me. In
future, while I hold my present office, the subject
of acquisition of territory must have the support
of the people before I will recommend any prop
osition. I say here, however, that I do not share
in the apprehension held by many as to the dan
ger of governments becoming weakened and de
stroyed by reason of their extension of territory.
Commerce, education and rapid transit of thought
and matter by telegraph and steam., have changed
all this ; rather do I believe that our ereat Maker
is preparing the world in his own good time to
become one nation, speaking one language, and
when armies and navies will be no longer required.
My efforts iu the future will be directed to the
restoration of good feeling between the different
sections of our common country; to the restora
tion of our currency to a fixed value as compared
with the world’s standard of values—gold—and if
possible to a per with it; to the construction of
cheap routes ot transit throughout the land, that
the products of all sections may find a market and
leave a living remuneration to the producer ; to
the maintaiuance of friendly relations with all our
neighbors and with distant nations ; to the re
establishment of our commerce and chare in the
carrying of trade upon the ocean ; to the encour
agement of such manufacturing industries as can
be economically pursued in this country, to the
end that the export of home products and indus.
tries may pay for our imports as the only method
of returning to and permanently maintaining a
specie basis ; to the elevation of Isbor, and by a
humane course to bring the Hboriginees of the
country under thh benign influences ot education
and civilization. It is either this or war of exter.
miuation. Wars of extermination when engaged
in by a people pursuing commerce aud all indus
trial pursuits are expensive, even against the
weakest people, and are demoralizing and w icked.
Our superiority of strength and advantage of civ
ilixition should make us lenient towards the In
dians. The wrongs inflicted upon him should be
taken Into account and the balance placed to his
credit The moral view of the question should
be considered, and the question asked: Cannot the
Indian be made an useful and productive member
of society by proper Uacbitg and treatment, if the
effort is made in good faith! We will stand better
before the civilized nations of the earth, and in
our own consciences for having rtade it. AH
these things are not to be accomplished by one
Individual, but they will receive my support and
such recommendations to Congress as will, in my
judgmen’, best serve to carry them into'effect.
1 beg your support and encouragement.
It baa been and is my earnest desire to correct
abuses that have grown up in the civil service of
the country. To secure this reformation rules
regulating methods of appointment and promotion
were established, and have been tried. My efloris 1
for such reformation shall be continued; to the !
best of my judgment the spirit of the rules I
adop'ed will be maintained.
I acknowledge before this assemblage, repre
senting as it d.*s every section of oar country,
the obligation I -m under to my conutrymen for
the great Honor they have conferred on me by re
turning me to the highest offlse within their gift
snd the further obligation pressing me to render
to them the best service* within my powtr. This
I promise, looking forward with the greatest anx
iety to the day when 1 shall be relieved from the
responsibilities that at times are almost over
whelming and from which I have scarcely had a
respite sioce the eventful tiring upon Fort Sum
ter in April, ISdl, to the present day. My service*
were then tendered and accepted under the first
call for troops growing out of that event. I did
cot ask for place or position, and was entirely
without influence or the acquaintance of persons
of influence; but was resolved to perform my
P-rt in a struggle thnatening the very exfstecce
of the nation I performed a conacicntiou* duty
without asking promotion or command and with
out a revengeful feeling toward any section or
individual, notwithstanding throughout the war
and from my candidacy lor my present office in
1868 to the close oi the last Presidential campaign,
1 have been the subject of abuee and slander
scarcely ever equalled in political history, which
to-day 1 feel that I can aflord to disregard, in
view of your verdict, which I gtatelnlly accept as
ay vindication.

The Abdication in Spain.
Behind the Beenes at Madrid—Secret History of
Amadens’ Abdication—A Vow Fulfilled— Wom
an’s Influence —Singular Stories Concerning
Victor Emanuel, Prince Humbert, and Ex-King
Amadeus.
A dispatch from London to the New York
World relates an extraordinary statement, con
cerning the abdication of the King of Spain,
which probably gives tbe motive of the action
truly. It came from high authority, says the cor
respondent, and is to this effect t
The Queen, as every one will remember, was
the Princess Mary, the daughter of Prince Charles
Emanuel dal Pozzo delia Cisterna; she U only
twenty five yeara of age; 6he is a very devout
Catholic, and she is the mother of three children,
tbe youngest of whom, a prince, wag born g few
days ago. Immediately before the birth of this
child, the young Queen waa in great distress of
mind, and in very alarming physical pain ; and ia
her agony of mind and body sbe made a \o „ to
the Blessed Virgin that if, through the mercy of
God, she was brought eafely through the peril*
that then environed her, she would beg her hus
band on her knees to resign the throne ot Spain
and to hasten back to Italy. Her husband was
present when—perhaps ia delirium—she made
this vow, and he uttered no remonstrance against
it.
There is no doubt that he has been growing
more and more weary of Spain for eeveral months,
and the distress and anguish of his young wife,
to whom he is tenderly attached, probably
• trengthed his desire to get rid of his thankless
task. Events which happened after the birth of
the child—who, in the opinion of its mother, was
given her only as a hostage for the performance
of her vow—doubtless removed ail hesitation
which be might have still felt. He and his wife
—despite ail his noble qualities anti all her grace
and beauty—had never been able to win ever to
their side the proud nobles of Bpain.
Just as in Rome the nobility of the highest
rank with one or two exceptions 6\de with the
Pope, and refuse to attend the Court of Victor
Emanuel or to give any countenance to his
Government, so in Madrid the grandees held
aloof from “the foreign adventurer,” as they
called King Amadeo, while their wives could not
be induced to appear in the train of his wife.
This alarmed and irritated both cf them—not
without reason ; but they continued to hope that
in time the nobility could be won over to their
side. The King made a last effort to do this on
the occasion of the christening of the new-born
child.
He asked the Duchess de ia Torre, the wife of
Borrano, to present the royal infant at the baptis
mal ceremony. She refused with scorn, and the
poor baby wculd have probablv had to suffer the
ignominy of being “pseseuted” by a lady of low
rank had not the widow of Marshall Prim, herself
a duchess, consented to leave her morning retire
ment and perform the function. I am told there
was a terrible scene in the palace that day, and it
was then that, the King finally yielded to the
prayers and tears of his wife, and made to her the
promise of abdication which, as you know, he
fulfilled on the 11th of last month.
“ It is a great honor,” said the King in his mes
sage to the Cortes announcing his abdication, “ to
preside over the destinies of a country, however
distntbed. I bad resolved to keep my oath'and
respect the Constitution, for I believed that my
loyalty to Spain would compensate for whatever
errors might be caused by my youth and inexpe
rience. But my good wishes have deceived me,
for Spain lives in the midst of perpetual contest.
If my enemies had been foreigners, I would not
abandon the task, but they are Spaniards. I wish
neither to be the King of a party nor to sctille
gally; but believing all my acts to bo sterile, I
renounce the crown for myself, my sons and
heirs.”
These are plain, sad and bold words; but the
Cortes listened to them with concealed joy, and
the abdication was unanimously accepted. There
aru wheels within wheels—and had tbe Cortes
known all that was within the KiDg’s mind they
probably would have listened to his message with
emotions of a very mixed character. For I have
as yet told only oue half of my story. The King
has abdicated, it is true, to please his wife; but if
my informants are correct he did this all the more
willingly because he believes that by giVing up
the insecure throne of Spain he makes a stride
towards the throne of Italy.
Victor Emanuel’s health is extremely precari
ous, and his death at any moment would surprise
no one who know him; the Crown Prince Hum
bert is the victim of a disease which makes his
life a burden and lrom which death may soon re
lieve him; and his sou—the four'year old Prince
of Naples—is in such a condition that his life can
be protected only by something like a miracle.
These three precarious lives are all that stand be
tween Amadeo and the Italian crown; and even
should Victor Emanuel and Humbert die before
baby Prince of Naples expires, Amadeo would be
in fact a sovereignty.
j The personal relations between Victor Eman
, uel and Humbert are of the most unhappy charac
| ter - The latter—whose vices far outnumber his
virtues—has cherished a bitter hatred for his fath
er ever since the King, on what he thought was
his death bed, married the woman whom he had
so long lived in adultery and by whom he haa
several children. Humbert was not shocked by
j l he sins of his father—he is so fond of such sins
I himself—but he was disgusted beyond measure by
i his repentance and his reparation; and the other
: day, when the KiDg announced his wish to pub
licly solemnize the marriage contracted iu private
w th this woman, and to elevate her to the throne,
i Humbert broke out into a fearful storm of rage,
and not only publicly declared that in snch an
event he would leave Italy, but privately sent
word to his father that if he did this thing he
would head a revolution to depose him. Victor
Emanuel, always Wlak, yielded for the moment
| t 0 these threats, and nothing has beeH said about
[ lb e marriage. But, I am told, that what he now
desires is that Humbert should die; that he then
should cause his marriage to be publicly solem
ntzed and his “countess” called queen for a day;
that he then should abdicate in favor of Amadeo
as regent or as king. So that to the persuasions
of the wife of the latter were added the secret ad
vice and prayer of the father to quit Spain and
to come back to Italy. Victor Emanuel greatly
dreads death so long as he is at enmity with the
Pope. He would withdraw his government from
Rome to-morrow, and restore St. Peter’s patri
mony to Pius IX., if his Cabinet and Parliament
would allow him to do it. Amadeo is a better
Catholic than either his father or his brother, and
vague dreams float through the brain of the King
of a reconciliation effected between Italy and the
Papal Bee with Amadeo on the throne. This all
sounds like a romance, you will say ; but I have
reason—and the best of reason—to believe that it
ia all true.
Having given the Carlists the chance to submit
peaceably to the authority of the Republic and the
Carlists having refused to accept that chance, the
Bpanish Government is now taking measures for
crushing the movement by force of arms. As the
Carlisle were frankly told that they would be
whipped if they did not surrender, the fact of
tcelr holding out implies a belief on their part
that they cannot be whipped. It ia to be hoped
that this belief is illfoandad.

Weal and Woe.
When the day is fair tbe bird is out
To greet you with his soug,
When radiant lilies bloom about
The gay fly tairies along;
But let a cloud o’erspread the sky,
Or fro6t bedim the lily’s eye.
Tour gay plumed songster heeds you not,
lhe flow’ret droops alone—forgot.
The vine that yields its grateful store
Is touched with gentle hands,
The dog that guards the cottage loor
Is fed while there he stands;
But when the vine’s green leaves are dead
The stalk is crushed with careless tread ;
And let harm hush the watch-dog’s cry
Neglected then he’s left to die. *
The war-horse firm in battle’s storm
Becomes his master’s pride,
The oak that shades the axmau’g form
His ch irms in summertime ;
But let a missile fell the steed,
His rider gone he’s left to bleed :
And let cold winter chill the oak,
’Tis first to feel the axman’s stroke.
The friend with music in his voice
To cheei you with his lay.
While weal betides you will rejoice
And sweetly chant the day;
But let the sombre morrow com*
And gloom o’erspread your happy home,
Hie music’s hushed—his lay is o’r—
He kuows you not—your friend no more.
The while your teeming board Is spread
Alons you never abide,
Tbe while your strong arm shields his head
Man’s praise spreads far and wide ;
But let misfortune blast your store,
You vaiuly plead at plenty’s door,
Aud let your strong arm withered fall,
Man’s gratitude ia turned to gall.
Oh, thus it is while fortune shines
And fame her clarion rings,
Around the heart sweet friendship twines
And love bis nectar brings ;
But when the blaae of Fortune’s sun
Is quenched and fame’s sweet song isdoue,
Alone you’re left in pain to lie
Contemned—unheeded there to die.
