Probably the mats meeting held in Atlanta oa
the 27th uIL, and their action cn the different
topics and mattsrs ffis uesed, will be of great'r
importancee in relation to the future agricultural
prosperity of the Bouth, and erptcially Georgia,
thaa anything that has occurred since the ove
throw and subrogation ol this great source of
weal h to the vacilating and unstable interest of
commerce and speculation.
The most prominent and important subjects
discussed by the Convention seems to have been
the lien law, cotton tax, fertilizes*, limitation of
patent rights and direct exportation. It will be
seen that all these questions affect directly the
Interest of the Southern planter, either for weal
or woe. The Convention passed resolutions obli
gating themselves to join the Western producers in
inaugurating a movement to secure transporta
tion; they also favor the construction of the At
lantic and Great Western Canal; they recommend
the appointment by the State Grange ot a Chem
ist, in ordei to protect Patrons of Husbandry
against imposition and worthless fertilizers; they
recommend a return to the cash system as soon ss
practicable; they recommend all the papers in
the State as organs of the Grange. The following
is the majority report, as adopted by the Conven
tion on the cotton tax question :
The majority, to whom was referred the subject
of the refunding of the cotton tax, beg leave re
spectfully request our Representatives and Sena
tors in Congress, to urge the enactment of a law
restoring to the legitimate claimants the uncon
stitutional tax imposed upon the cotton crops of
1862 to 1871 inclusive.
The Convention also passed a resolution agree
ing 60 far as they were concerned, and their infiu
ence extended, to restrict the next year’s crop to
one thiid in corn, one third in grain, and the bal
ance in cotton.
If the resolutions as adopted are strictly ad
hered to by the termers, there can be no doubt
but that the results will be greatly beneficial, aDd
that in a few years the oppressed and ever har
assed condition of the planters of this State will
be relieved, and they redeemed from the thral
dom of capital aDd rings.
It has been urged (and with some semblance
of truth) that the great objects sought to be ac
complished by the Patrons of Husbandry, would
be defeated by designing men, who though pro
fessedly farmers and working in the common
cause, were yet only political tricksters and had
their own private interests to serve. The careful
observer can but note the outcropping of such
men in the late Convention. Their measures and
movements carried with them the postmark of
rascality on its very face. We advise the Patrons
to be on the alert, and when such things are de
tected to confront them boldly and expose them
without favor or partiality. By this means alone
they may l eap the rewards of this great movement.
Repeal of tbk Lien Law.— One of the impor
tant questions before the Legislature at its meet
ing, in January, will be the lien Law. The strong
est opposition will Come (rom the planters them
selves. The reason is obvious. They have been
working on the credit system for years, and with
out some such security as the law guarantees the
merchant will be slow to make the planter advances
in the shape ol money and supples. We have de
cided convictions upon this question. The law
has betn a curse to the planting community and
the sooner it is repealed the better it will be for
the agricultural interests of the State. Affording
ample opportunity tor running into debt, the pro
ducer becomes improvident in the conduct of his
personal and household expenses and extravagant
in his ideas of planting. Ho spends too much and
undertakes too much, trusting to the hope of a
large and remunerative crop, fogetting the cer
tainty of a settlement day, and ignoring the risks
of an unfavorable season and a poor yield. We
agree with the Atlanta Herald that It would not
be a good policy to repeal the law 60 as to make It
operative during the coming year, for that would
prevent the planters from making a crop from
their own rescourees. Asa class, they are heavi
ly in debt and tho ruinous prices for which the
present crop is selling wiil leave them worse off
than they have been since the war. It would be
for the interest of all classes to have the law re
pealed, and to take effect from the Ist of J anuary,
1875. We aio of opinion, however, that the very
class whom it is Intended to benefit will defeat
the repeal of the lien law.— Chronicle and Sentinel.
Congress.— The first session of the Forty Th ird
Congress took place on Monday last. The Repub
licans have 49 Senators, the Democrats 19, and
the Liberal Republicans five, making seventy-three
—one seat from Louisiana being contested—in all,
seventy-feur.
In the House the Republicans have 191 members,
the Democrats 87, Liberal Republicans four, and
ten contested seats, making in all 292 members,
showing an increase ot 49 by reason ot the appor
tionment Act under the census of 1870.
The following are the Senators and Representa
tives from Georgia:
Senators: T. M. Norwood and J. B. Gordon.
Representatives: Morgan Rawls, R H. Whiteley,
Philip Cook, H. R. Harris, J. C. Freeman, P. M.
B. Young, A. 11. Stephens and H. C. Bell.
In the drawing of seats in the House, Mr. Ste
phens was paid the unusual compliment of allow
ing him to select his seat, which he took in front
opposite the Speaker’s chair, and this we suppose,
because of his enfeebled condition and his going
upon his crutches.
Hon. A H. Stephens in Washington—A spe
cial dispatch to the St. Louis Republican says
the sensation in Washington this week is the ar
rival of Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, who
reached the city last night and took a suit of
rooms at the National Hotel. He has b6en be
seiged all day by a .dense throng of old friends
and admirers, tnd the carious of both sexes. His
health is quite feeble, and he is weary and worn,
but his spirits are good, and he converses freely
and cheerfully with all who are admitted to his
presence. He uses crutches, as he has done
for five years past, and sits in an easy chair. His
has grown very white. Although he does not
have the appearance of a man calculated to en
dure or desire the wearing excitement of the
coming session, which promises to be one of the
most prolonged sessions for many years; but
his wiil is strong and his mind is clear, he exhib
u the spirits of a man in the best of health, and
eager for the tray. He is constantly watched by
his body servant and his private secretary.
On the 3lst of March, 1875, the terms of twenty
five United States Senators will expire. The out
going Senators are, Ames,of Mississippi; Bayard,
of Delaware; Boreman, of West Virginia; Brown
low, of Tennessee; Buckingham, of Connecticut;
Carpenter, of Wisconsin ; Casserly, of California;
Chandler, of Michigan; Edmunds, of Vermont,
Femon, of New Ycrk; Flanagan, of Texas. Gil
bert, of Florida, Hamilton, of Maryland; Ham
lin, of Maine; Lewis, of Virginia; Pratt, of In
diana; Ramsey, of Minnesota; Schurz, ol Mis
souri ; Scott, of Pennsylvania; Bprague, of Rhode
Island; Stewart, of Nevada; Stockton, of New
Jersey; Sumner, of Massachusetts; Thurmon, of
Ohio; Tipton, of Nebraska.
How to Rbtckn to Silver,— The first attempt
made by the Treasury to substitute a metal cur
rency for the paper postal shinplaster was the
drawing in of the three cent and then of the five
cent paper; notes, and issuirg in lieu thereof the
three cent and five cent niekle coin we have to-day.
So, let the Treasury Department follow along
with the same plan it began several years back>
and substitute a silver dime for the present ten
cent paper, note. Then, when the amount of sil
ver bullion will warrant, gradually withdraw the
twenty-five cent notes aud put out the silver
“quarter.” Iu proper time the “half,’* and lastly
the silver dollar.
Death of Ex-Senator Yates.— Kx-United
States Senator Yates, of Illinois, died suddenly at
Barnua’s Hotel iu St. Louis ou the 2'th ult.
Mr. Yates had beeu to Fulton, Ark., as United
States Commissioner to examine the lower end of
ibe Cairo and Fulton railroad, and returned to
3t. Louis on the 23J alt., and became qnite teeble.
He revived, however, but while making prepara
tions to return home, suddenly fell backward and
died in five minutes.
UTnJmlUi UGrifla to repotted m very soc.
Rev, John P. Duncan. —The Cartersville Stand
ard and Express says: “This venerable and wide
ly known minie’er of the Methodist Church
South, famous for his evangelical preaching,
aud more so, perhaps, for his wondrous gifts as
one of the sweetest 6ingers in ail the land, it is
well known has for the last few years been labor
ing under quite a formidable attack ot cataract in
both eyes. So largely had his disease progressed ;
last summer when we saw him, that be could not
easily recognize the features of his most familiar
friends. It gives us great pleasure to inform his !
very many friends, than whom no man perhaps j
has more In Georgia, that he is now in the city of
Baltimore, and has lately had an operation per- j
formed upon one of his eyes, entirely restoring j
eight, and that in a short time it is hoped and be
lieved that the other wiil also be restored. The
eminent surgeon who performed the operation, is
Dr. Chisolm, the same who was so successtni iu
the case of Col. Black, of Home.”
•<
At a meeting of the Clark County Grange
held November 19th, 1873, the following resolu
tions were pissed without a dissenting voice,
which we pubiiab, that the world may see what
the ladies of the Clarke County Grange propose
to do:
Resolved, by the Ladles of the Clarke County j
Grange, That we believe the time has arrived for j
ut to discountenance all extravagance and abol
ish pride, and advocate, as lar as it lies in our pow
er, everything that tends to lead to economy and
retrenchment.
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves that we
will not attempt to follow after the worldly fasb
ons ot the present day, believing we have the
right to introduce, or establish a tasblon for our
selves.
A Desperate Fight.—A party of desperadoes
attempted to break up the performance of John
Robinson’s Circus in Jacksonville, Texas, on No
vember 23d, but were prevented, and order was
restored. About 2 o’clock in the evening, how
ever, as the circus men were loading their ani
mals, wagons, etc , on the cars, preparatory to
leaving the towD, a large number of roughs at
tacked the men with knives and pistols,and a gen
eral and desperate tjght ensued, in which three
Texans were killed and seven wounded. Robert
Stickuey, one of the performers, had his kuee dis
located, and it is feared he never will be able to
ride again. Alien Rose, another performer, was
shot through the hand. Charles Robinson was
knocked down with a club, and was also shot
through the legs. One ot the hostlers was shot
through the breast, and another was stabbed in
the back. As the train was leaving the town it
was fired on and one man was slightly wounded.
Threats were made by the Texans that they would
go to Crockett and again attack the circus. Rob
nson had sent to Houston for ammunition.
Interesting to Germans.— From the Atlanta
Herald we learn that the system of postal cards
between this country and Germany went into ef
fect the Ist of December. Postal cards sent from
tht United States to Germany including Austria,
Hungary and the Grand Dutchy of Luxemburg,
have been fixed at two cents, prepayment to be
made by affixing thereto an ordinary I cent United
States postage stamp,' and those sent from Ger
many to this country will be charged one silber
groshen each, which will entitle them to be deliv
ered in this country tree of cost. This will prove
a decided convenience to the two countries.
Doubtless many of onr German fellow citizens
will avail themselves of this system to communi
cate with their friends and relatives, especially
when it is known that 5,000 words can be written
on a postal card.
