The Ninth District.
The Congressional Convention of the Ninth
District assembled in Gainesville on the 14th
inst., and remained in session until the 22nd
inst.—eight days exclusive of Sunday. Ordi
narily when the friends of an aspirant in a
nominating convention, fail to have him nomi
nated after several ballots they take up some
new man and nominate him. In this conven
tion. however, twenty-six of the delegates were
for Mr. Hill, and thirty-three for Hon. II P.
Bell. They knew no compromise, and each
party seemed determined to have its favorite or
nobody. The election comes off on the sth of
May and it was necessary to do something. The
Bell part}*, despairing of making a nomination
by the two-thirds rule, finally passed a resolu
tion recommending the Hon. J. B. Estes to the
people of the Ninth District as a suitable can
didate to receive their votes for Representative
yi the next Congress. The Hill part}' had pre
viously concluded that they could not secure the
necessary two-third vote for their favorite, ad
dressed a letter to Mr. B. H. Hill asking him to
make the race for Congress, and to commence
at once to stump the district. He consented,
and there are now three candidates before the
people of that district, "viz: Hon. B. H. Hill,
Hon. J B. Estes, (recommended by a majority
of the Convention.) and Hon. W. P. Price, who
some time since announced himself an inde
pendent candidate for the office.
It is thought that the lower portion of the
district embracing the counties of Morgan, Hall,
Clarke, Gwinnett and others will go for Mr
Hill, while Price will divide the vote of the
upper portion with Estes. It is likely, In that
event, that Mr. Hill will be elected. It is im
possible, however, to determine the result of the
race in advance.
Mr. Hill is the most unfortunate aspirant for
political honor we have ever known, when his
transcendent abilities are considered. Gifted
beyond any man at present living in Georgia as
an yrator, as a lawyer, as a sound reasoner and
safe counsellor, yet he lias never been so for-
tunate as to be elected by the people. Such has
been Ills bad luck that we are afraid to hope
that he will be elected this time for fear of a
disappointment. He will, however, make a
vigorous and active canvass of the district and
may, by his persuasive eloquence, add many
votes to those already pledged to him. In our
opinion his chances are good. AVe trust so, at
least, as we are anxious to see Mr. Hill in Con
gress, believing that he will reflect honor upon
the State and credit to himself.
Attorney General Williams lle
nigiied.
The news that this man has tendered his res
ignation to the President and that the latter has
accepted it will give very general satisfaction
throughout the country North and South. As
the adviser of the President he has urged the
harshest treatment toward the South. He seem
ed to delight in oppression, and the people of
the Southern States were the objects of his
an,i v-- u.,a ueen openly charged
’wit’ll corruption, and with appropriating the
funds of the government to his own use.
His successor has not been named, but who
ever he may be he certainly w ill be an improve
ment on Williams. The lower regions do not
contain a worse man, more mean, vindictive,
spiteful, oppressive and corrupt. But he has
gone. The sceptre of power has departed from
his hand and we trust that he has been con
signed to everlasting oblivion. We fear,though,
that unless the radical party is driven from
power that he will again rise to the surface and
be the instrument of further annoyance. It is a
matjer of congratulation that the place in which
he could put his power to the basest uses has
been taken from him.
t/ ! Comity Correspondence.
Editor AdvfrJker: In your issue of the 6th
ili-t. we find that your correspondent “S. G. S.”
by the “lamentations and plaintive cries of some
of your correspondents” was “ prompted to re
spond to their call for investigation of the sit
uation,” as some of said correspondents con
cluded “ that tiie wickedness of the people was
the cause of our poverty arid distress,” and
asks, “ w hy all this abounding wickedness and
wide spread demoralization ?” then cites the
despotism of the past, particularizing Italy', as
if indirectly justifying our wickedness because
we, for the past few’years, have been oppressed.
Now’ we simply say that we have yet to find
on the pages of the Sacred Writ from cover to
cover, a justifiable cause or excuse for man’s
wickedness or acting in express violation of
God’s commands.
Hence, we still adhere to our fixed and firm
belief that it is the wickedness of the people
which brings upon us a just and merciful God’s
afflicting visitations. Have we not in sacred
history numerous examples of like import?
And, God being immutable, the same yesterday
to-day, and forever, as he punished the people
in ancient days for their wickedness, so will he
punish us.
It requires no labored argument to prove that
our national wickedness and corruption is rap
idly increasing, and that as a people we are
hastening farther and farther away from God
into the wilderness of sin. The most casual ob
server of passing events clearly perceives it,
while our every day's history publishes it to
every candid, reflecting, thinking- mind.
Even the ministers, publicly professed pro
mulgators of God’s everlasting gospel, who
ought to be land-marks and guide-posts along
life's pathway to direct us on to celestial joys
in the eternal world, are being lured by the al
mighty dollar. For they will leave one field of
labor, no matter how much good they may be
accomplishing therein, and travel miles away
to another field because offered an increased
salary. The Apostles had no such orders from
Him who commissioned them to “ preach the
gospel to even* creature nor did the “ Son of
Man” have where to lay his head while he
preached upon the earth.
Though a small contributor for that purpose
yet we must confess to a lingering, personal
doubt of the efficiency and efficacy of a “ well
paid clergy” and a “ purchased gospel.” Be
cause -we find no sanction for it in the Bible
from the first chapter of Genesis to the close of
Revelation. Hence our conclusion upon the
subject of wickedness. For if there was such
fervent piety, such pure and undefiled religion
as Christ preached while on earth, possessed by
the professed followers of Christ, then every
true minister of God. every evangelical laborer
sent out by Him. would be sustained would be
maintained and supported by a true charitv,
deep seated in the hearts of true believers. But
alas 1 may we not fear that the substance has
taken wings and flown while the shadow lin
gers behind. Indeed, Mr. Editor, we have wan
dered so far from the Golden Rule and Gospel
teachings recorded in God’s word thatold adages
are being reversed. There was a time when
even’ man was considered honest until proven
to the contrary; now it is so far reversed that
well nigh every man is considered dishonest
until he through life proves the contrary.
More particularly does this suspicion of dis
honesty manifest itself in monied transactions.
And why-so in this particular branch of man’s
intercourse and dealings with man? To get at
the incipience of this "general suspecting” we
must go back but a short period in our history.
It was not the case prior to 1861. and as with
manv of us there was & kind of inter-regnum in
monied transactions during the late strife, we
will trace this suspecting disposition of dishon
esty from 1865. At that period many of us
who had borne the brunt upon the field of bat
tle. returning to our homes found ourselves not
only penniless, but having debts resting upon
us contracted with honest intentions before the
war. The question very naturally sprung up
in our minds how we could pay those debts and
at the same time support those dependent upon
us. And while we were considering this ques-
tion those holding said claims were employing
their minds in devising means whereby they
might peradventure force the collections of
these claims, whereby sprung up the “ bull and
bear fight" proper. This fight was furious and
waxed warn until the homestead, as arbiter,
appeared in the constitution. This arbiter tolled
the death of the good, old fashioned credit sys-
tem. which brought to view another “ supposed’’
blockade to our financial progress. To raise
this blockade the lien law became the lever with
which not only was the blockade raised, but
the doors of credit was thrown open wide,
which gave rise to the wildest speculation upon
the “ coming crop,” something which had never
been in existence. Bear in mind, too, that the
penniless soldier who returned from the war to
his family, with honest intentions for the future,
was. during the time, forced to labor upon
credit at an interest of sixty, seventy and one
hundred per cent.; an interest which the best
conducted, most prosperous business in which
a man can engage cannot be made to pay. "W hat
was the result ? Why, we could not possibly
pay such usurious and exhorbitant interest and
we were forced into bankruptcy, homestead or
personalty to prevent our wives and little ones
from suffering for bread, and hence we were
considered dishonest.
True, in the eyes of the moral law it is dis
honest for a man to avoid by legal statute or
otherwise, the payment of an honest debt, but
such avoidance is deemed legally sanctioned,
and too many, alas ! are availing themselves of
that method of paying their honest debts. While
upon this point, Mr. Editor, we fearlessly assert
that, in our opinion, it was not the intention of
the originator of that law, or of the body who
enacted it, that any man should avoid the pay
ment of a debt by taking homestead, but rather
to give every man a chance to pay his debts.
Therefore, when a man takes a homestead but
labors on to pay his debts, we know where to
class him; and when one takes the homestead
and thereby considers his debts paid, we also
know where to class him. “ Yerbum sat mpi
enti."
Hence we perceive by these legal processes,
by abuse of credit, by extortionate interest, and
by wild and reckless speculation, has been en
gendered the disposition to suspect ever}' man
of dishonesty in monied transactions. Likewise
in all these things do we perceive a greater or
increasing proneness in man to violate God’s
moral government, to eschew those holy prin
ciples as taught by Christ himslf, and to wan
far away from the pain m wmen ooa in
tended his creatures should walk. These are
some of the causes which have aided in bring
ing about our poverty, demoralization and dis
tress.
Allow me to mention one more point. Our
eagerness to regain what xve lost by the war,
and our great haste to accumulate wealth, to
get rich, has prompted us to obligate ourselves
to pay such rates of interest as will impoverish
any people upon the face of the globe we in
habit. Especially is this true of our farming
population. Beginning in 18G9, the farmers
have been charged from 40 to 100 per cent in
terest on well nigh all they have consumed in
their farming operations. ’Tis true, many farm
ers will not believe they have been charged
such interest. But I tell you and mem that
many of them are to-day deejjjgg *way their
lauds as collate* a. to piuiistouwij uuics, ill
which they are obligating themselves to pay
forty-five cents for the U3e of one dollar for six
months, which foots up the neat little sum of
ninety per cent per annum. Can they pay such
interest ? If so, whence do they expect to ob
tain the money to pay it ? Certainly not from
their farms, as it would be worse than foolish
financiering to calculate on realizing half such
interest from capital invested in farms. Why
Mr. Editor, if there was such per cent, as that*
in farming, we opine that all the dry-goods
stores, the confectioneries, the millinery stores,
the whisky shops, the lawyer’s offices, the doc
tor shops, and all the other shops would be closed
and we would all turn farmers, and that not so
much as one square acre of arable land in Geor
gia would be left uncultivated.
Viewed from a moral stand-point is it reason
able, is it equitable, is it charitable, is it Christ
like for any class of men, especially the labor
ing class, who support the world, to be charged
such interests. Do those charging it enjoy con
scientious ease upon the subject ? Do they nev
er have any compunctions of conscience arising
from the sin of wicked extortion ? ’Tis true
that a “few” of our brother farmers have been
so fortunate as to escape this great whirlpool of
extortionate interest. But these have manifested
to some extent a miserly disposition. For having
by dint of circumstances accumulated a few
dollars above the maintenance and support of
their families, they would not in charity to their
more unfortunate neighbors allow them the use
of those dollas at a remunerative interest, but
for greater safety deposited in the doubly se
cured vaults of some banker. And to their
great dismay and consternation (it will happen
now and then along the stream of time) that
they find they have deposited their horded dol-
lars so securely that their checks for said de
posits cannot be cashed. Would it not be bet
ter for their pecuniary interest and more gene
rous in them to allow their poor, but honest,
laboring neighbor the use of said money, than
have it locked up in such secure vaults? Indeed,
is such mode of proceedure strictly in accord
ance with that Biblical injunction, which says
“do unto others as you would have them do
unto you ?” But tresspass upon your space and
patience forbids further comments at present
from your scribbler. Reform.
The opinion that the next Presidential cam
paign must be a straight issue between the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties is gaining
strength in the Democratic press. Especially
since the Connecticut election, the disposition
is to scout all proposals for an alliance with
other anti-administration elements, and to de
mand a strict party platform with an uncom
promising Democrat upon it. Thus the Mem
phis Appeal says : "The signs of the times are
favorable for, and point to, a Democratic re
storation, and it is not wisdom to seek strange
alliances and split the growing power of the par
ty by the introduction of questions that will
divide and destroy it. The Democrats want no
more forlorn hopes, no more fights in which the
ranks of the enemy are emboldened and
strengthened by our divisions, and where suc
cess is only under the most fortunate circum
stances. Let the Liberal leaders seek honors
most congenial to them, to their political tastes
and party affiliations. We want a distinctive
line of policy. Democratic in tone and tendency,
and if Charles Francis Adams and that class of
men can find a resting-place for their political
hopes within the pale of a straight Democratic
organization, they will be glady received and
awarded such prominence and recognition as
thev are entitled to, but no more entanglements.

From the present time until the Presidential Election in 1876, the country will be agitated
by the political discussions of contending parties. The issues that -will make the contest next
year will be discussed by the giant minds of the nation. It is of supreme importance that
every lover of liberty, every one interested in the welfare of his country', should study and
well the principles that will enter into the contest. This will open up an important field for
the conscientious newspaper.

L’emptet© Etetesy ei the limes,
A record of events as they occur, and will discuss
FEARLESSLY AND IMPARTIALLY
