The Secret of It.
The question is often asked, V/hy is it that
, the times are so dull and money so scarce ?
Productive.—Captain II. J. Sargent last year j xiie stereotyped reply is—So much nu-mv has
planted in cotton one and a quarter acres of
land on his town lot, and last Wednesday jie
weighed and -sold 87-G pounds of lint cotton as
the yield of the patch.
Novel-.—The Rome Courier publishes mar
riage notices under the general caption of
“ Obituary.”
|gf A Washington telegram of the 23r<l says
the Cotton tax Conference Committee have re
ported as agreeing to the House bill and amend
ment exempting cotton from import duty after
first of April; also that the Reconst met ion
Committee agreed to [eport a bill deriving the
Supreme Court all jurisdiction arising under
the Reconstruction bills, and ordering the dis
missal of all cases now pending and the acts
and doings of District Commanders shall-be re
viewed by any other tribunal.
At Last.—The following telegram explains
itself.
Milledgkvili.e, Jan. 23.—One hundred thou
sand dollars, advanced from 1 he State Road,
has’been received and taken to Atlanta b}
Captain Rockwell, Military Treasurer, for pay
ment ol the Convention.
General Grant.
The President, anticipating the action of the
Senate in the Stanton ease, asked Gen. Grant
to continue to act as Secretary of War, and it
Stanton claimed to be Secretary, force him to
sue out a writ of mandamus, and thereby the
constitutionality of the 1 enure of Once tall
could- be tested before the Court. Grant con
sented to do so. Rut after receiving a certified
copy of the Senate’s resolution refusing con
currence to the suspension of Stanton, lie qui
etly surrendered the office to Stanton in viola
tion to his pledge to the President, and by this
faithless act deprived Mr. Johnson of the op
portunity of testing the constitutionality of
the Tenure of Office Rill. Such conduct, such
unfaithfulness, was unworthy of a man
Grant's reputation. Trickery may be shrewd
in some men, but it can never advance the
fame of a Lieutenant-General.
A few reckless Radicals will applaud Grant
manoeuvre, but the sober, thinking people will
condemn it.
His motive was popularity, and we think r.o
sane man will envy him whatever of it
wins. The Radicals are welcome to all sucl
candidates for the Presidency.
Carroll County.
We have ever watched with intense interest
the political course of the people of Carroll
county. We have at no time doubted their
Intelligence and patriotism, but a few months
after the passage of the Sherman bill it did
seem that Carroll would be lost to a good cause
and for one time in her history go wrong—yea,
go body and sml into the embrace of Radical
ism. It was difficult to believe this. We knew
some of her leading spirits were true and tried
nnd would stand like Gibraltar ; yet the waves
ran high and promised to engulf them. But
change, a gradual change lias, for months past,
been at work in Carroll and other counties of
this State, and the old land marks are again in
view. Even at the election for delegates
the Convention, notwithstanding Martin and
Harrison, two worthy and trusty citizens, were
candidates, still Carroll voted (negatively)
against a Convention. We then knew where
she would stand on the day of trial. The res
elutions which we publish to-day speak nob!
for the gallant county. Morrell, Chandler and
others are incapable of surrendering to the
monster of radicalism, and so well do we lik
the resolutions that we adopt the 2d as our
platform, and are willing and determined to
“fight it out on that line if it takes” the re
mainder of our days.
AH that we regret about the meeting is that
we expected some to participate whose names
do not appear in the proceedings. Where are
Mandeville, Stewart, John Long, Ren. Iiong
and others whom we might mention? We
know they do not- endorse the action of the
Menagerie, and why not come out and say so ?
By the help of God we expect to defeat the
Constitution of the Radical Convention, and
we invite all . men to come out to the help of
the Lord and partake of the honors.
. Before closing we invite special attention t<>
the 4tli resolution. It tells the truth in a nut
shell. The Relief proposed by the Unconsti
tutional Convention is nothing but a bribe, and
is iusnlting to the intelligence of our people,
and, in the language of our Carroll friends, we
say it “should be spurned and rejected by
every true Georgian with scorn and defiance.”
At this early day we tell our friends in other
portions of the State, put Carroll down 800
majority against ratification.
been paid for provisions ltought last year that
there is none left. We feel confident that t:n>
ply is fallacious. It is undeniable that m-iu>
farmers in 1807 were ^forced to pledge tneir
crops for provisions at a high price, and the
money received by them for a portion-of tie it
cotton cr,p lias gemetto pay these >ts.—
While this cannot be d nicd.’it is equally tree
that in former years, before the war, air pten-
rs alwavs bought more or less of corn and
jacon and many negroes—in paying for widen
portion of their cotton crops were consumed
n short, we are confident that the provision
nd negro debts of former years were as large,
yea larger than the provision debt of 18G7- —
The staple in those years'did not sell for a
igher price than it does now. then why is it
that the commercial activity is not so great
now as in former years when c< rton sold for 10
cents ? The plain and true answer is—The !<• •
of confidence of man in man. Unfortunate*!
the legislation of the State, perhaps unavoid
ably, for six or eight years lias been of such a
character that while it protected the deserving
also shielded the dishonest, and then-tore *!. •
commercial world cannot, unless at the c<*.m o’
certain ruin, extend credit and other aid to L; •
struggling, which are mutually beneficial, l!
the rich man has money, he must keep it lock
ed up and lose interest thereon ; for if lie loans
it, co his neighbor, and that neighbor pr.-v. s
o be dishonest, lie Joses his all. lie cannot
take chances Therefore the holiest and strug-
ling man lias no credit, and if he is poor U'-.v
e must remain poor. Thus, much ot the cir-
ulating medium of the country is lacked up,
because confidence is lost, and hard times, duii
times are on us, and will continue with us un
til confidence is restored. Tins will be the
case as soon as men get their consent, when
able, to fulfil their contracts, or the law makes
them do it.

The Indiana Democratic State Conven-
vention---The Resolutions Adopted.
The following are the resolutions in fuil
adopted by "the Indiana Democratic State Con
vention at Indianapolis on the loth inst:
Resolved, That language is not adequate to
express our abhorrence and condemnation of
the Radical reconstruction policy c-f Congress
—a policy condemned by very consideration
f justice and constitutional obligati*m ; a pol-
icy frauglit with the most alarming appivlun-
sions of evil to ten States of the Union »I sell ;
a poliev that largely increases tax ition ; a pol-
adds nearly one hundred millions annually to
the expenses of the government, while it beg
gars the people : a policy the avowed object of
which is to continue in power -the most venal
and corrupt* political party that ever dishonored
any civilization ; a policy vindictively enacted
and mercilessly prosecuted with the unconsti
tutional purpose of centralizing and perpetua
ting all polithal powers of the government in
the dominant Radical party in Congress, and a
policy which, if not early arrested by the
American people, will sooner or later over
whelm our national government in one com
mon and appalling ruin. We demand the nil
conditional repeal of the act of Congress confer
ring exclusive right or privileges upon any
class of citizens at the expense of other classes.
3d. That the national bank system, organized
in the interest of the Union bond-holders, ought
to be abolished, and United States Lank notes
substituted in lien of the national bank cur
rency, thus saving to the people in interest
alone more than eighteen millions of dollars
a year: and until such system of banks be
abolished, we demand that the shares of such
banks in Indiana shall be subjected to the same
taxation, State and municipal, as other pro
perty of the State.
4th. That the bonds and other securities of
the United States and every description of pro
perty should bear equal proportion of taxation
for State, county and municipal purposes, and

TWENTY-TIIIIiD DAY
.Tantaby 20, 1838.—The Convention opened
with praver—The roll was called for the pur
pose of ascertaining if there was a quorum—
The Journal was read-
Gen. Order No. 18, which appeared in the
papers of-Saturday, was read to the Conven
tion.
Sec. 10.—The consideration of the following
section was resumed this day.
Tn all prosecution of indictment for libels the
truth may be given in evidence and the juries
shall have the right to determine the law and
the facts.
A long discussion took place on Saturday m
regard to this-section, and speeches were made
by'many members, and several amendments
ami substitutes offered, which were renewed to
some extent to-day.
One of the amendments was by Ii. H. Y\ inte-
Jy. It was as follows :
' Provided. That the right of appeal to the
courts herein declared shail not be construed
to invalidate the denial of Jurisdiction- in the
Constitution to the courts of this State, or any
ministerial officer thereof, <>f all indebtedness
contracted or incurred by any citizen of this
State previous to the 1st of June, 18G5.
■lt u mV.-.iv.l the following amend
ment to the amendment of \Ylnt~ty:
“The right of the people to petition the
Government, and peaceably to assemble for
the consideration of any matter of public inter
est shail not be amended. ’
H. Y. M. Miller thought that the original
section would with a slight alteration answer
all the purposes.
IVhen the question first came up he had not
any intension of offering any observations on
it,'but since it had assumed such a position
and had been dealt with so elaborately by
speeches and amendments, be could not adhere
to his determination any longer. At that time
he had, some objection to it- in its original
state, but he might have voted for it as it was;
yet tire speeches he had listened to had made
him change his mind.
L. L. Stanford withdrew, by permission, an
amendment which he had offered on Saturday.

No Money Yet.
Pope ordered the State Treasurer to pay An
gier, the disbursing officer of the Menagerie.
$40,000, but Jones declined. Meade then re
quested Gov. Jeukins to draw-his warrant on
the Treasury for that amount, but the Gover
nor refused. Meade removed Jenkins and
Jones, and ordered two army officers to fill (?)
their plaees, and lo and behold! Meade's ap
pointee telegraphs him there is no money in

From these facts all reasonable people will
agree that Angier will deserve a commission
for “ cUsbursifig ” the funds when he gets them.
But really don’t these AtlantaConventionists
have a hard time in getting money ? We doubt
»ot Meade saw the thing about to dissolve, and
in order to hold it together a while longer,
wrote Parrott that he would soon pay them
Eome money, sav $5,000 or $10,000, and some
body said that he had it from'some other source
that the amount would be $15,000.
M here is this money to come from ? Out of
the poor, hard-working officials of the Slate
Road and our State officers. Verily. Just
think of it, Oue hundred and sixty-nine men,
the United States ought to be taxed by Con
gress for national purposes, in amount substan
tially equal to the tax imposed on property in
the several States for local purposes.
5th. That we are in favor of the p -yment of
the government bonds in Treasury notes, com
monly called greenbacks, except expiessly
ramlc payable in gold by law, at the earliest
practicable point.
6th. That the unjust and iniquitous tariff
laws now in force ought to be repealed, and
a tariff adopted looking to revenue only.
7th. That the monstrous extravagance of
the Republican leaders in the administration of
Government at all times and at all places, has
been profligate to an extent unexampled in
history: and for the hundreds of millions of
dollars expended by them since the termination
of the war, they have nothing to show save
several States under a military despotism, op
pressive laws, usurped power, and a mutilated;
Constitution : that the burden of taxation, too
grievous to he borne, demands their removal
from all places of trust , and a thorough course
of retrenchment and reform.
Sth. That we are opposed to conferring the
right of suffrage mi negroes. Yve deny the
right of the general government to interfere
with the question of suffrage in any of the
States of tiie Union.
9th. That it is the duty of the United States
to protect all citizens, whether native 1*- i.\ or
naturalized, in every right at heme and abroad

curing new patrons to our trade, as an increased

After some further -discussion, the section
was adopted.
