The question is often asked, V/hy is it that , the times are so dull and money so scarce ? Productive.—Captain II. J.

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. Win L Avcock. Sheriff. ) - s r From Bartow county.

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 From the Atlant t Daily Opini- n.

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. THE LION OF THE FOLD OF HAM. A. Alpeoria'Bradley (negro) here rose and inteirupted the Chairman, who was in the act stating the question to the Convention, lie snarled, interrupted and insulted him and many looked with astonishment at the Chair- man and no doubt thought that it was time patience had ceased to be a virtue with him.— Mr. Conley occupied thechair, and we must say that there are very few men living in our age of “liberal new ideas” who would bear to TWENTY-FOURTH DAY.

States and World-wide Readers, I have received many testimonials from pro fessional and medical men, as my almanacs and various publications have shown, ail ot which are genuine. The following letter from a highly educated and popular physician in Georgia, is certainly one of the most sensible communications 1 have ever received. ^ Dr. Clement knows exactly what he speaks of, and bis tostimonv deserves to be written in letters of gold. Hear what the Doctor says of BULL’S NVURM DESTROYER: Yillaxow, Walker County, Ga., ) June 29, I860. | Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I have recently given your “Worm Destroyer” several trials, avid find it wonderfully efficacious. It has not failed in a single instance to have the wished- for effect. I am doing a pretty large country practice, and have daily use for soine article ol the kind. 1 am free to confess that I know ol no remedy recommended by the ablest aimiors that is so certain and speedy in its effects GLASS Mill i n £ a, ireenvill-* Street, Newnan, Ga., GP.OG 2DI0.3 Thankful for the very liberal patronage tended them through the past year, taka pleasure in announcing to their friends in Cow- eta and the adjoining counties that they will occupy their same stand West side Green villi street the present year, and with renewed ener gy, increased facilities for purchasing and an ardent- disposition to give general satisfaction.

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 the Treasury. 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 and with their assistance in adding to and m curing new patrons to our trade, as an increased Stock requires.

After some further -discussion, the section was adopted. Sec 11. The eleventh section being next in the order of business, it- was taken up for con sideration. It is as follows: ihe right ol peo pie to appeal to the courts, to petition govern ment on all matters of legitimate cognizance, and peaceably to assemble tor the consideration of any matter of public interest, shall never be impaired.
