Cotton Kine: Again.
The Macon Telegroj h says that the |
New York Commercial Advertiser is ol 1
the opinion that cotton bids fair to mount
his thn ne again- ‘'Assuming that the
crop will realize to the South between |
$200,000,000 and $.100,000,000 it says
that this sum will not have to be made
ever to factois, who in former years took
the lions shui'e. It will not have to he
expended for doctor's bills incurred l>y
sick and infirm negroes; or to maintain
a large and floating populat ion of slaves
in comparative idleness until the plan
ting season again begins. Huge store
hills will not have to Vie met as in other
days, when planters supported large
bodies of bluvch. The whole amount can
he appropriated to the recuperation and
regeneration of tlie region desolated by
the iron heel of war, aid in a very few
years at farthest the South will he on
her feet again.
Cotton is thus onco more to become
King, a king with free subjects, rich and
powerful, and independent of all foreign
dynasties. The Southern people can
now that slave lal or has disappeared al
most indefinitely increase their cotton
lesonrCes. Ami to this end they should
do all in their power to attract Northern
capitalists tbit her, who bringing with
them Yankee energy enterprise and re
sources will prove of invaluable aid and!
assistance in developing and pushing!
forward Southern prosperity.”
V T e cannot fully agree with our co
t mporarics on this question. Cotton
mot/become King again provided the
growers act wisely-and not he led astray |
by inflated prices; and for its exclusive
cultivation neglect the necessaries and j
conveniences of life. Cotton can again J
he made to enrich the impoverished 1
South, it every planter will see to it that j
he likewise plants more than a snfficien-1
cv of corn foi his own consuption.
The Saodersville Georgian speaking
of what 1 usiness men think of planting
exclusively of cotton says :“Su’d a gen
llen an who icprcsents one of the lirst
commission 1 oases in the State: ‘Cast
year 1 feared to trust no one. I knew the
fat triers were laisng corn and that cot
ton would bring a good price. This year
1 foil' to trust anyone, from the fact that
cotton is all the rage, and more people
will fail than was ever heard of before.” j
The same paper most earnestly en
treats | lanters to consider this matter j
well. Re not deceived by’ the present
high prices, it is within your power
geiitlimen to keep the price where it if;
it is yours also to lir ng it down.
Attempt not to deceive yourselves with
the oft repeated story that it is impossi
ble to produce the amount raised iu days
of slavery. This is a mistake. The
improvement in cultivation together
w ith the vast amount of fertilizers where ■
none were used before, will increase the]
l umber ot bales beyond your imagina
tion. A gentleman remarked to us tliei
other day that where lie realized only
tin o or tour bale# without fertilizers lit'
had made fifteen with them. This we
admit may he more than an average in
crease hut the amount produced per acre j
is much greu'er th in it once was. And
the increase will still be greater, as’ our
people advauce iu agricultural knowl
edge.

Let ns Improve our Bands.
Mr. Editor: —As the subject of polites
has proved so unsatisfactory to our poo.
j pie i propose that wo ab undnn that for
a time at least aud turn more of our;
; thoughts nnd attention to improving ottri
farms and developing the resources of
our country. Heretofore when the farm- j
j ers wealth consisted principally in slaves
I their natural increase was a source es
J profit to him provided he could make
1 them pay the expenses of the plantation.
But that sort of business has "ployed
out.” We do not now propose to run
plantations to raise negroes attd il at the
end of the year there is no money in our
pockets and our stock and farm are not
improved verily we have labored in vain
It was doubtless an error in us before
the war to neglect the improvement of
j our lands feeling that the loss by the
"wear and tear” of them was made up
! by the increase of our slaves, and that
when our once fertile fields had become
! impoverished by our mismanagement we
had hut to open new fields again to he
i worn out in making cotton to buy ne
groes and provisions to supply the farm.
| Had we increased our wealth by itnprov
I ing our lauds as well as by adding to
i our slaves many a farmer who now has
. acres of worn out hills too poor to justify
him in keeping the fencing around them
| would in their stead have had fertile
fields that would richly repay both the
! proprietor and the laborer for their cul
tivation. What we need is intelligent
1 well directed labor. We must study
to understand our soil and find out what
manures, whether domestic, or com mer
c-ial or both are necessary for their im
provement and take some trouble to im
prove in cultivation. The negro will
; never be able to do this bv himself.—
I We can’t now afford to keep up long
fences and plant large fields to make
five or six bushels of corn to the acre
- or one bale ot cotton to six or eight acres
Less land under the plow and larger re-'
turns for the amount planted should be
jour motto. There is no land that pays
better for manuring than that in Brooks 1
County. We have generally a level sue i
face on a clay foundation and tints made
better suited for manuring than the bro
ken hills of Middle Georgia. Two bales
of cotton to the acre have been made in
Hancock county on land naturally poorer
than most of that under cultivation in
Brooks. We have a healthy country, I
good society, Rail Road conveniences,'
pleasant climate g< and wa cr and every
thing necessary to make this a desira
ble place of residence. Let us do oar ‘
duty and our people need not go Foeth
West, or Ninth, to 10-k for die land of
[promise hut under onr very! feet arej
j tilings of agricultural wealth, which,.if
properly developed would not only be
remunerative to onr own people but
would induce the enterprising aud in
dustrious from a distance to settle u
mong On. Yours, &e.

Gutts A Johnson and J -mes Stewart
! plaintffs in error, vs N. A. Hardee,
; defendant in error. Up in Sumter.
I Brown, C. While the courts'
have the power an 1 it is their duty when
a proper case is made to deefar • acts J
the Legislature unconstitutional and void
such acts are always presumed to he
! constitutional and the authority of the
Gonrfs to declare them void shon'd be
[exercised with great caution and never
J resorted to hut in clear and urgent cas
; es.
2. That provision of the Gonstitnfion
jof the Untied States which denies to a
Stale the right to pass any law impair
I ing the obligation of contracts does not
inti-ifere with t lie right of a Ftale to pass
laws acting upon the remedy,
j 3. There is a plain distinction between
[ the obligation of u contract and a ternedy
for its enforcement and v. liPe the Log:
! lature ntay not impair the obligation of
| the contract it has the uiidouhtoil light
to change, modify or vary the nature
; and extent of the remedy, provided a
| substantive remedy is always left to the
j creditor; so long as the State does not
j deny to her courts jurisdiction of con
tracts and to prescribe such rules of pro
c.dttre and of evicence as may in its ;
wisdom seem best suited to advance the}
administration of Justice in the courts, j
4 . That part of the act of the Legis
lature passed at its late session entitled j
"an act for the relief of debtors and to!
authorize the adjustment of debts upon
principles of equity;’’ which provides for !
a change of the rules of evidence (under j
which this case originated) is not un ;
constitutional though it may permit evi- j
deuce to go to the jury which has here
tofore been allowed and which the eourts j
may consider irrevalent and improper.}
' j It is the province of the Legislature to j
prescribe the rules of evidence and of the
i j courts to adminster them.
5. It is no objection to the constit u— ;
tionality of this act that it authorizes
the jury to reduce the amount of the
1 debts sued tor according to the equities
of the case as this is done every day iu
court in cases of partial failure of coined
eration and the like. This must he done
however, according to the real equities
between the parties and not according
to the caprice of tiic jury arid when so
done it neither impairs the obligation of
the contract nor works in justice to the
! parties litigant
j 6. If this should he seized upon by the
jury and used as a pretext for reducing
the other than the equities between the
j parties permiling it will be|thedut.y of the
| court to set aside the verdict when that
fact is made plainly to appear.
| 7. In this case the obligation or the
contract was not in any degree impair- !
cd by the fileing of the pleas by tlie Be
I fondant to which objection was made as i
] a foundation for the introduction of evi !
[ donee under the statute and the evidence i
j should have been received and if the !
; jury made an improper use of it or found
contrary to law or evidence it would
then have been time enough for the
I Court to interfere and set aside the evi
dence.
8. When the statute authorizes cer
; tain facts to he gvtn iu evidence a do
nnirrer to a pica which lays the found i
} tiou of such evidence should not be sus
; tained. The old rules of pleading in
such case must yield to the statute.
Judgment reversed.
MoCay, J.—lt is not to ho presumed
' j that the Legislv ture int mis to violate
the Constitution of the United States and
when words are used in an act, they
'ought to be construed if possible so as
: to make the act consistent with that con
stitution.
2. The consideration of a contract and.
whether there has been a to: dor ol tin
whole or any part of ad. lit sin .1 on, and
j if the debt was not paid that it was the
| creditors fault are not only in all cases
fit matters for proof but are often ol i
great importance in arriving at proper
j eonclutsioiyj as to the true rights of the
> parties in the matters before the court.
Nor can such evidence in any proper use
of it at all tend to impair thj- obligation
j of the contract sm and on.
3. .If the property upon which the cre»l
lit was given in contract has ! eon lost or
rendered worthless it is competent for
the Legislature to permit the defendant
when tiie contract is sued upon, to show
by whose fault that properly was lost
lor destroyed and the value of it at the
time of the contract and at the time of
j the loss.
} 4. That claim of the act of the Legia
j lature under discussion which authorizes
! the jury in suits upon certain contracts,
to notice the debts sued upon according
j to the equities of each case was not in
j tended to permit them to impair the obii
! gation of the contract of the parties. Tl e
equity and justice there meant is that
I fair honest duty which oaeu wes to the
I other under the contract to be gathered
from the whole transaction as it actually
occurred between them and from the act
■ creating legal or equitable legations
| which have happened between them
since the date of the contract.
5. The obligation of a contract cannot
he impaired by the Legislature of a State
under the guise of changing the rules of
1 evidence or altering the mode of proce
' dure. Nor can the Legislature author
ize a court or jury so to adjudicate be
I tween the parties to a cons-act as to al
ter or impair its obligation as it was irt
fact entered into.
6. Consistently » iili these jvi iueiples ,
;i Stall- may alter the rulua |
of e v;<it ate and c(ia®{;e tlic ramie of pro- :
ci eding in the State Courts. Nor ;* it (

|)i>rtni;s tl.o introduction of evidence j
which in the opinion of the Court mu'
lie irrevelant to the issue arid calculated
I to distract i r mislead the miuds ol the

j 0. Warner J., Dissenting.—This was
an action brought by the plaintiff aga list
the defendants on a promissory note for
the sum of fifty two hundred and twenty
nine dollars dated January 21, 1861, and
due foity live days after date.
The defendant Stewart, filed a plea
setting tip, by way of defence to the note
: certain facts as provided by the provis
ions of the first section of the act of 1868
"for the relief of debtors and to aathor
(ize the adjustment of debts upon princi
ples of equity.” The plaintiff demurred
! to the defendant's plea a: and the Court be
j low sustained the demurrer and the de
; fondant excepted.
| The decision of this question necessii
| t'ily invo ves the constitutionality of the
act that provides, 'Thai in all suits which
I shall be brought for the recovery of
| debts in any of tbe courts ol this State
j or upon contracts for the payment of
i money made prior to the Ist of Jane j
| 1865(except for the hire or sale of slaves) :
l it shall be lawful for the parties in all
such cages to give in evidence before the
jury empanneled to try the same, the
consideration of the debt or contract
i which may be the subject if the suit the i
amount and value of the property owned
j by the defendant; at the time the debt
; was contracted or the contract was en
j tered into, to show upon the faith of.
j what property credit was given to him 1
! and what tender or tenders of payment
| be made to the creditor at any time and
: that the non payment of the debt or debts
j was owing to the refusal of the crediti r
I to receive the money tendered or off mi
: to be tendered the dustiuction or loss of
i the property upon the faith of which the
credit was given and how and in what
manner the property was destroyed and

: cases the juries which try the same shall
have power to reduce the amount nf the
debt or debts sued fir acc irdiug to the
[ equities of each case and render such
i verdicts as to them shall appear just
and equitable. This act of the Legisla
ture in my judgment necessarily impairs !
the obligation of the contract as it exis
ted under ihe law at the time the con
tract was made and it makes no differ
ence whether that result is produced un
