The President's Message.
We publish tliis week a synopsis of
the President's message as wa are
unable, on account of its lettglh, to
p it.liah it entire. It is largely devo- j
ted to the Foreign relations of the
Government and a statement sf the
settlement of our difficulties with
England. 'l'he settlement apjusars to
be very satisfactory to the President,
and he is disposed to aompliuient uitij
policv. lie avoids any reference to j
amnesty, and intimates that while he
may extend Executive clemency
towards the Ivu Klux prisoners who
are now serving out their terms of
punishment, yet he is determined to
continue to enforce rigidly the l*w (
against those who may he guilty of
such acts in the future.
lie speaks very favorably of our
canal project and regards the subject
of transportation between the West
and (lie Atlantic ocean as a necessity
which demands the attention of
Congress.

The Electoral Vote of Georgia
The (Georgia electors split. their
vote. General Benaing, Washington
]\,e and Colonel iindtou voted for
Greeley for President.
lion. Wolford, Col. Hartiidge, Mr.
Ely, Col. Pace, Col. Dorsey, and
Majoi Graham for B. Grata Brown for
President.
Col. Turner and l)r. Casey voted
for Ex Governor 0. J. Jenkins for
1 ’resident.
Geu Denning, Mr. Poo, Col. Hud
son, Dr. Casey and Co'. Turner voted

Dorsev, Mr. Ely and Major Graham
voted for Gen. Cohpiiu for Vice
President.
Gcti. Wofford voted for Got). N. P.
Banks, of Massachusetts, for Vice
] ’resident.
We publish above the vote of
Georgia foV President. There ap
jiears to have been a diversity of
opinion among the Electors as to
what was their duty in view of the
death of Mr. Greeley. Six votes
were cast for Gratz Brown, two for
Charles J. Jenkins and three for
Horace (Greeley. Il is true, the vote
of Georgia, no matter for whom cast,
could not have atlected the result in
the least. It only becomes important
as a precedent.
The question naturally prison!s
itself, what is the duty of the Elec
tors ? Under the system of voting
f>r President as prescribed by the
Constitution, the people instead of
voting directly for President vote for
electors, and those receiving the
highest vote are clothed with the
power of casting the vote of the
Ktale without restriction, it is true ;
hut it is expected by those who
rejiose confidence iu them that they
will faithfully carry out the verdict ot
the people at the polls, no matter
who they might individually piefer.
They are the Agents of thatr con
stituents for the express purpose of
doing a particular act, and we hold
that they are bound morally to cast
the vote of the State for the candi
date elected by the people.
What was the voice of the people
of Georgia, as pronounced at the
ballot box on the first Tuesday in
Novemlier? It was that Mr. Greeley
was their choice for President, and in
the event of his death, resignation or
inabilaty to act, then Gratz Hrown
was to succeed him. Greeley died
before the vote was cast; in our
judgment, it was then the duty of the
Electors to have cast their vote for
Hrown for President ; and as they
had no instruction fioiu the people,
they were at liberty to cast their vote
for anybody they saw proper for
Vice President.
We have no objection to ene oi l
our own citizens, and especially a
pure and great man like Ex Gov
Jenkins, being complimented with a 1
vote. Hilt it only expressed the
individual preference of the gentle- j
men voting for him, and will doubt- j
less be so regarded by him ; but we
are discussing a question which rises
much higher than mere individual
preferances. Had Mr. Greeley been
living, we hold that it would have
beeu the imperative duty of the
Electors to have cast the vote
Georgia solidly for him without refer
ence to whether he was elected or
defeated. It would have been due
bim and due the jwople. Hut it was
sa d that Greeley was pot the choice
of the people; that lie was taken
only as the le>set of two evils; while
tiiis is perhaps true, vet we have no
right to go behind the verdict to
enquire what degree of preference
was felt bv each voter. The official
vote we contend was all the instruc
tion the Electors had of could have.
That was the highest evulehdfe of the
public choice. It operated as an
estoppel. If Mr. Greelev would
have been entitled to tbe vote of
Georgia, whether it was merely com
plintenlary or put him into the l’toi
dency, then we are clearly of opinion
that Gratz Brown was entitled to the
vote upon Greeter’s death.

A Pautlier Tale.

home be heard the raaeal hoop
some distance from him, and tbe

Our friend Daniel, in order to save
himself he took to bight, and it itj
generally a apposed that he quit
tbe earth in four different places
for some distance, but when he
struck the ground each time lie
was jumping from twelve to four
teen feet-every jump 'A hen be
landed at. brother Hodges’ he was
entirely out of wind, and on ex
amining him they found that he
had started from home with u
raw p tato in his hand, bat he
had held it so tight it was entirely
crushed to pie.x-e We understand
that he is Still living, hut an owl
never has been heard to hoot in

N. 11. Fob rest.
The New York World publishes a
list of persons missing in that oity
since August, with fitty-two names.
11 adds that in spite of the efforts of
both the police and public and pri
vate detectives, and in nearly every
case of a lavish expenditure of money,
the veil over those lives has not been
lifted; and they have stepped out ot
the world to all intents and purposes.
No doubt the list contains the names
of those who have absconded, who
' have hail cogent reasons for getting
out of the way ; pf kidnapped boys
and youths, of girls who stepped from
an opeu path of honor into the slums
and by ways of shame. But after
calculating that four fifths ot those
mentioned are voluntary or com
pulsory absentees, there remain ten
or a dozen lives which have been
snuffed out most mysteriously, and
whose manner of passing away is
jealously guarded as a dread secret
by the river and the street.
We find this in our exchanges :

with additional articles from his

The communication in your last

the ring of the right metal I en

These hand Sharks are becoming a
fearful bane to the advancement and
material prosperity of the State.
They are driving from us many of
onr best, most cnteipriiing, industri
ous young men, who are "the bojm of
the country, who, but for them, and
their greedy, cormorant appetite* for
more land, would sett'e down here
an<l become valuable citizens and hell)
to develop the resources of the State;
whereas, they are driven from the
land of their birth, the homes of their
childhood, the dear scenes of their
early years, to find homes in the
W est, where lands are cheaper and
within their reach. Why, sir, are
we in this country to he cursed with
the ro e of the English Landlord, with
his Broad Acres, and Ins numerous
tenants at his will, to pay him tribute,
and to go at his beck and call as
serfs and vassals ? Are the beautiful
fertile hills and vailies of otir noble
old Ftate to go into the hands of a
few merciless Shy locks, to lord it
over everybody else, simply because
they have mote money to htiy it than
their poorer neighbors? Is the
‘Negro Aiisioi-raey” that, was so
much complained of—especially by
the North before the war, to be
followed by a Landed Aristocracy,
which is worse? Is it to come to
this, that a man is to he indicted for
tresspass and imprisoned if he should
cut a riding switch from off one of
these Lordly Domains, as in Englan I?
Are we—are wo not tending that
, °
way !
You may begin to conclude, Mr.
Editor, (hat I rtn an Agrarian; that
I am in favor of dividing out the pro
perty of the rich wit 1 1 the poor, to
make them equal. Not so, as we
shall see.
We do not propose to cut tail a
man’s right, to buy as mucili land as
lie can purchase and pay for, if his
mind runs that wav; although we
think stick a mind is in the wrong
channel for the good of his country :
and while we admit that it is not in
the power of the Legislature to enact
a law thus curtailing such privileges,
yet we hold that it is within the power
of the Legislature to make them
pay taxes —even' high taxes upon it
for his haughty enjoyment, and the
detriment he brings to the State by
monopolizing her territory, and driv
ing from her limits better men, who
would be of more service to her.
Let us draw a picture, Mr. Editor,
not of fancy, but of fact.
Suppose these large tracts of land
in your county, and mine, and in
every other part of our State, was
sold off by the owner* in small tracts,
sav of one hundred acres each—re
serving enough for himself and
enough for each one of his children—
and was settled up by worthy, indus
trious, enterprising young men, what
n change would take place at once in
th# face of our country and in its
prosperity and thrift. This would
give us a dense population ; the
mechanic would be benefited—the
merchant patronized, churches built
up, the Gospel supported ; schools
j organized and sustained, and instead
[ of pine fields and broom sedge—red
gullies thud fox walks—and dark,
| dismal coverts for owls and night
; hawks, we should have a country the
! fairest and most beautiful on God’s
i Green earth.
These small farms are the idea
now!
“A little furm well tilled,
A fifth' wile well willed.
And little wants well fulled,”
are the Sumttm Bonum of earthly
felicity.
Then exempt entirely from taxa
tion, the little farms occupied by the
owner, say of one hundred acres, to
encourage young men to stay near
their i Id fathers and mothers and he
1 buried in old Georgia, and raise vonr

General Toombs at Selma.
We fear that any attempt to epi
toimze Gen. Tomsk*’ address will
convey but little idea ol the distin
guished orator’s effort. \Ve cannot
refrain, however, from attempting a
brief abstiact of his remarks.
After a graceful and appropriate
introduction by Salford, the
President of the Fair Association,
General Toombs took the stand, after
a few introductory remarks, in which
he took occasion lo refer to iiis plant
ing experience, pm sued his subject,
Gold,* said the eloquent speak.-r, is
not wealth ; all the gold in the
world, were there nothing else’ could
not make a single ration for a hun
gry man, nor a fig leaf for a naked
being. These things come from the
earth alone. Our last resource is
mother earth ; hence agriculture is
the earliest pursuit of man. Thera
can be no pence, no rest for man
kind unless they know that where
they sow they will reap. The great
question we have to deal witli is, how
shall be bestowed our industry on
this magnificent country of ours so
as to reap the greatest profit.
The first thing we have got to do,
is to see what product is best suited
to the portion of the earth in which
we live. Men hsve"pre»ched about
Southern people cultivating hav as a
money crop, about their raising all
manner of things instead of cotton,
but experience has taught us that
cotton is the peculiar product of this
country ; it made it rich and power
ful ; no country ever rose to wealth
and power with the rapidity of the
South. Cotton, then, is the product
of our country, It is this to which
our agriculturists must look mainly
for wealth, and the question for us is,
how can we make it cheaply ?
The speaker then went on to dis
cuss the various causes of the decay
of the jjSouth since the end of the
war. Statistics go to show that au
average of three million bales of
cotton has been annually produced
in the South siice General Lee’s
surrender, representing an annual
amount of mount of money as great
as the funded debt of the Govermer.t,
but we are poorer today than at the
surrender. What hits become of our
industry ? First and foremost, the
gigantic robberies of the United
States Government has taken from us
millions, where they have taxed us,
diteclly in th* face of the law, on
cotton ; thousands have gone into
the pockets of their office holders
under various pretexts, that never
reached the Treasury Then the car
pel-bag governments have,by so called
schemes of improvement which were
in reality nothing but schemes of
plunder; taken millions more from ns
\ layge pot lion of tliisjenonnnus sum
has been made by the brawny arms
of the white people of the South.
The rule lias always been for the
conqneter to plunder the conquered,
and most rigidly has it been applied
to the Southern people. Deconstruc
tion meant nothing practically tor tlie
South, but the protection of the thief
and carpet bagger at the expense of
the people. When our Legislatures
were put into the hands of those
adventurers, then began our Iliad of
woes. But as much as we have lost
by the robberies of onr enemies, the
decay of our country is not alto
gether due to this cause. We our
selves are in a great measure respon
sible for our condition. Wo have
need,on r figures falsely. Our calcu
lations have all been made on t false
basis.
Gen. Toombs then proceed tojargtie
the complete fallacy of the idea that
it is economical to buy corn with the
proceeds of cotton. If we do this
the last one of us will go to the poor
house. No man puts more than four
days to the acre in a year on his corn
crop, but you are engaged three hun
dred days on cotton. With the small
amount of labor required to make
corn here at home, can any man in
liis senses believe that it is cheaper
for him to pay the high rates of in
terest, commissions and freights that
he is compelled to pay for Western
grain ?
We must cheapen the motive
power on onr plantations. He had
seen in Cuba oxen used almost exclu.
sivelv. It was the cheapest motive
power that could !>e lound, for grass
is the principal food to sustain them
The only people who are getting
rieli farming in the South are iho-e
who make their farms as nearlv selt
sustaining as possible. All the labor
er’# foot I must come from the planter
at .last, and the best way te get it is
to raise it.
The great thing needed is protec
tion. We must know that we are
men. We must protect ourselves
from wrong and robbery, from what
soever source, ask for protection from
the powers, and if it is not given,
why then take it.
"We cannot get foreign emigration
with the profit we want from it. Tiie
foreigner will not come sot
various reasons—principally because
the climate does, not suit him. The
history of the world shows that (tie
people always follow the line of their
latitude. The Southern p anter goes
southward to the cotton States—the
German goes to wheat and turnips.
\\ here did our ancestors come trom ?
From Virgi ia, the Carolina* mol
Georgia. M inv of mv people went
to Marengo oowiu iu ti.is S .tc. for
ii "a- supposed to* be the verv i- ace
where Adam was turned loose, but I
suppose the devil is turned loose there
now.
You will have to rely on yourselves
Skilled labor will coine
of its ow n accord ; but you will never
get anything b.it worthless labor if
you have to bring it here. You will
increase sufficiently fart to populate
the country as thick as it need be.
There was never a greater error than
to suppose that excessive population
produced prosperity. England is
one of the most populous countries—
her rich people are the richest and
her poor people are the poorest in
: the world. This is always the case
j in densely populated countries; the
rich get richer and '.lre poor get
poorer.
lit conclusion, Geu. Toombs made
an eloquent appeal against the mate
rialism of the age. Cease, fellow
citizens, said he, thinking that a
man’s happiness consists in what he
possesses. With this subject as bis
• theme, tire eloquent gentleman made
a most earnest and heart-thrilling
appeal for truth and honesty and con
tentment, as opposed to the helter
skelter scramble for wealth, regardless
of the means by which it is acquired,
which-is last becoming tire national
sin. —Selma Times.
