in marriage in one day. lie says a

Ordinary's office. lie asked for a
marriage license stating that he had
met'the ladv for the first time that
morning, when a mutual attachment
sprung up, declarations of love made,
proposal for marriage accepted and
they wished to be joined forthwith.
The permit was made out with dis

asked to pronounce the ceremony
which he did and the couple were
made happy before the ink on the li

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY.
AYe till assign reasons for the pres
ent stagnation of business, scarcity of
money and the general decay of pros
perity throughout the South but noth
ing we have yet seen comes nearer the
mark that! the following from an old
African in Alabama, who has certainly
studied the subject and sets it down
right in the following words: “Afore
the war the white gentlemen ’tended
to the politics and the niggers work
ed . Conseq n euce was er< >ps was good,
and white folks had money plenty,
Xow-a-days the' white gentleman and
the :.•?:rggcrs am both gone crazy on
politics, don’t neither of ’em do no
work/.and consequence is ain't neither
of em gotVimigh fh buy corn bread.”

A. G. MURRAY AND THE NEGRO.
Uncle Sandy Murray has issued a
circular, the subject of w hich, is “The
Negro, what he is and what is to be
come of him.” We havo read* this j
circular und though proceeding from j
a radical, we give Mr. Murry credit
for the truth, in describing the negro, ,
his nature and his habits and inclina- ■
tions if left to follow* his own ideas of ,
life. Mr. Murry has long been a res- i
ident of the South and has hud as :
good an opportunity to know the ne
gro as any man within our knowledge,
and we are sure every other man who
has lived as long among them must
acknowledge to the truth of Mr. Mur
ray's remarks; He is aware that men
will be amazed to ?ev him acsgming
such a position, denouncing the negro
as the curse to the country, the bane
oi society anl the first, and only
cause of the war of the rebellion and
the presyut distracted jffiite of the
country, He declares that he speaks
impelled by an honest conviction,
founded on the experience of a life
time, that the negro is the prime
cause of aft our trouble and will con
tinue to remain so as long as he is
among us. lie declares that he voted
for Grant from principle beleiving he
would endeavor to preserve the union
and he could not support the other
party which ‘he thought would de
i stroy that union. He says he will
; vote for Grant for u third term if he
I will agree to send the negroes out of
the United btates and never permit
one to return. He has no hope of
ever seeing our country return to its
wonted prosperity and glory unless
they aie transported. He enters into
a miuute description of the average
negro, how he lives, how he w r orks,
how he eats, his idea of right, his
disrespect for the marriage tie, his
utter disregard of law when there is a
hope of escape from punishment and
his thriftlessness when not overlooked
by a white man. The N. Y. Sun
takes the following from the circular:
He says that so long as the negroes re
main here they will he a burden to the coun
try in a national [joint of view, and that the
burden will grow heavier every year as the
old ones die out and the young ones come to
till their places, since those who have grown
up since emancipation are much more
worthless than those \\ ho learned to work
as slayes.
Mr. Murray argnes that the negroes are
totally deficient in energy, foresight, econo
my, and mental capscity; snil that with
out the direction or supervision of white
men they would perish in a few years, so
that it would be lolly to colonize them by
themselves on territory within the United
Slab s, since they would inevitably starve
to d.ath under such an arrangement, while
their presence is a curse to any white com
munity, because their habiis of larceny are
such, and their indolence is so excessive,
that it is impossible for either tlie blacks or
whites to ptosper where tile former from a
proportion of the population. The
besi workers among the old negroes will
not do more than sixty per cent, of the
work they did as slaves, while the young
men will not do more than forty per cent
of what they ought to do
it is impossible for either whites or blacks
to raise vegetables or chickens or hogs
wheic there is a large negro population, he
says, because they wdi tie stolen before
they come to miturUy; and as the conse
quence of all these evil's, Mr. Murray de
dates that in all sections where the African
nice equals, or nearly equals, the whites in
number, the people ol bot h races must in
evnably get poorer and poorer every year
until they sink down into abject poverty.
To rented}’ this state of things, Mr. Mur
ray proposes that all the the negroes shold
be shipped off to Africa, a couuljy which
“God made to suit the nero, ’’ where the
spontaneous productions of the earth will
supply him with food, and where the clim
ate is so warm the year round that the
transported freedmen w ill have no necessity
for buying any clothes. Mr. Murray says
he cordially voted lor Grant in 1808 and
again in 1672; that no good reason can be
assigned why the President should not be
suppoted it he runs again; and announces
; his soleumn determination to vote lor him
for a third term if he will only adopt this
project of transporting the negro popula
tion to Africa, as the great issue of the
canvass.
VERY UNKIND.
The most unfeeling thing we have
seen, is the following from the Wash
ington Chronicle, (Rad.) with refer
ence to the immaculate Samuel,
whom it was reported would start a
newspaper in Atlanta in the interest
of his boss, U. S. G. Such cuts are
very unfeeling, more especially when
administered by a brother papsucker.
Oh! tis a sorry sight when children of
one family fall out and chide and
fight. The Chronicle should think
of Sammy’s recent woes and come as
a comforter rather than seek to tear
afresh the ghastly wounds of this
hero. Do, listen, iiow unkind, how
unfeeling are the linos below:
‘ ‘We are beginning to receive papers' from
the South with an announcement marked in
the usual style ot Postmaster Sam. Bard, of
Atlanta, that he is going to start a daily pa
per at Atlanta for the next Presidential
campaign, and that this redoubted postmas
ter is going to make it hot and lively tor the
enemies ot President Grant. The Presi
dent has had to stand a good many things,
and he may be able to survive this attack of
the postmaster, but the people of Atlanta
have our sympathies. They have now a
couple ot good enterprisiug dailies, and to
have a paper started to battle for the next
Presidential contest, and edited by Bard,
just as hot weather commences, is an afflic
tion they ought to be spared. It does not
make the matter auv better that nobody be
lieves it will ever be itsued, This thing of
being threatened with an impending calam
ity is of itself too much."

COTTON.
i
j
We are glad at any time to present j
facts and items of iuterest to the!
farmers but are often sorely puzzled
to know how to advise. This we
know is the month in which cotton
will be put the ground und upon
the amount planted depends iu a great
measure the prosperity of us all. We
are confident tlmt all sensible farmers
acknowledge the error into which
they have fallen since the war and will
guard against overcropping themselves
in cotton. The Southern Cultivator
has some seasonable, sound advice con
cerning the planting of cotton seed
which we print for the benefit of such
a3 may desire informal ion from so
reliable a source. It says:
Cotton planting is the principal work f>r
the month upon a Southern farm Every
preparation for it should be compledeted by
the 20tli. Under vt-ry favorable eircuin
stances planting might begin ten days earl
ier than the date given, and com hide later,
hut iu the largest portion of the •'cotton
i lic-rt’' it would be beat to Lave the seed in
I between the 10th and 20th of the month.
' To escape trost is the point to be aimed at.
1 Late plantings grow off mo e rapidly, and
may more easily worked than early plan
tings, but, as a general rule, thev do not
! Iruit and mature as well as early planting-
The | reparation for cotton should consist
i in manures properely distributed and bed
ded iu on, and the beds “freshened" and
“smoothed’’ and (if need be) lowered, bo
passing a concave “harrow” {one fitting
over a bed instead of one fitting a flat sur
face) oyer them, just in advande of planting.
No work in connection with a cotton crop
I pays better than this. It can be pnne very
rapidly, renders the chances ot a good stand
: much better, and facilitates the early work
ings of the ciop very much. It removes
rocks aud lumps, levels the top of the bed
—making it jxissible to open a furrow of
unitorm depth to receive the seed—-and ena
bles one to plough near the young cotton
with less danger of covering it up.
When planting time arrives, it is desirable
to pour in the crop as rapidly as possible,
and with the greatest possible saving of
labor
If cotton is planted early—before the
ground becomes very dry—tlie seed should
be covered vejy shallow, not over one inch;
later in the season it may be necessary to
cover two inches deep, to insure a prompt
stand. Indeed, for all late plantings, say
t lie Ist of May or after, the only sure meth
od ot securing a stand at once is to list on
the seed with two furrows, and knock off
with a board. Should rains prevail, this
would be unnecessary, hut they cannot be
relied on. Soaking the seed in some fertil
iziug so 1 ution, or else soaking in water and
rolling afterwards in s-mie fertilizer, gives
an impulse to the young plant which it
never loses afterward. An excellent solu
tion for the purpose may be obtained bv
tilling a barrel with good stable manure,
pouring water on, catching the drippings,
and, it need lie, running through a second
time, as in getting ‘'lye” from ashes.
There is no danger of getting the solution
too strong. The nitrates also (nitrate [xk
ash or nitrate soda) make excellent solu
tions. Experiments have shown that in
the early stages ot growth, plants relish
nitrates much better than they do ammonia,
and it is probable, therefore, that the nitra
tes named above would be better lor the
pur[x>se now under consideration then
Peruvian guano, a substance generally used
with most admirable results. Cotton seed
may also be rolled in most of Ihe ordinary
ammoniated superphosphates but there is
danger ot vitality being destroyed if rolled
in the acid phosphates, now extensively
prepared for composting with cotton seed.
It is not sate to sow less than a bushel
and a half ot sued to the acre, ami if the
land is at all rough two bushels would lie
better. Young plants should not be too
much crowded, it is ti ue, still one runs a
risk of not getting a good stand if he is ex
tremely saving ot his seed.

GRANT'S SYMPATHY (?) FUR IRE
LAND.
hat? Hll3 he any of that article?
ihe Irish World iacommenting upon
a disputeh by Mr. Grant to the
Knights of St. Patrick in reply to an
invitation to attend their banquet at
Baltimore, says the President is a
“plain burnt man,” but lias a “knack
of saying thiugs that sink deep and
abide ia the memo.’y,” This is the
dispatch which reminds us of former
attempts of our ruler at eloquent brev
ity:
Gfktleme^j—Official business will not
pel mit me to attend your banquet. My
heart, however, is with you, and my sym
pathies are with grand bid Ireland. May
Gixi bless her. fj. a. GRANT.
Ihe W oriel says “these words, are
in thenisehes an inspiration.” We
must confess that the President has
never inspired us with any great rev
erence either for his truth or sympa
thy and caiiuot think he cares anv
more for Ireland than any other man
who thinks of nothing, talks of noth
iug, seeks nothing but power, llis
Arkansas proclamation is a sample of
his truth and his sympathy for the
oppressed is most happily demonstra
ted bj* his Louisiana policy. If the
Irish people will flatter him and give
him their support for a third term,
they may be sure of all the sympathy
he can best ore. We admire the pa
triotism of the Irish and their anxiety
to be freed from the English Yoke,
but we have a country which needs
sympathy and the lack of it in Mi.
Grant is the cause of the destruction
in our land. He cares nothing for
liberty, justice or government unless
he is lord and we are quite cert-tin his
kind of sympathy will never benefit
Ireland or any other oppressed coun
try. Ihe President surely forgets
home and its troubles at a tkroon of
grace and we would he glad to have
him remember ns in hi, supplications,
brief as they are.
8188 COUNTY SCHOOL?.
Educational interests receive that
attention in Bibb county which they
deserve. 'The people have put them
selves to to the trouble of in mgura
ting a system which brings education
within the reach of ail,'tne crowninar
glory of their characteristic enterprise
and energy. The interest is deepen
ing and widening, the public school
system is gaining vapidly in the esti
mation of the people, the- press lends
its powerful aid sanctioned by gentle
men of wealth and influence.
We give a breif synopsis of what
has been and will be done this year.
The pupils enrolled up to the end of
March, are whites, 1,553; blacks, 1,-
520, total, 3,073. The expenses of
maintaining these schools will be
about $32,000, o” this amount $27,-
430 will constitute the gross salaries
of teaches, the remainder hi furnish
ing and fitting up schools. The cost
cost }>er pupil will be about ten dol
lars a year. All applicants have been
provided for except about thirty of the
schools. The Telegraph and Messen
ger, savs:
It is not our purpose to amte the ques
tion of provisions tor next year's operations.
The writer does consider himselt a party in
the matter more than to tlie extent of his
personal tax. It is a matter of public in
terest, policy and economy which we have
only a common public in'erest in. Let the
people determine it. We suppose this
school system gives an amount of very ef
ficient school instruction, which could not
be otherwise secured for less than three or
four times the actual cost. The schools
have been carried on energetically—have
geneialjy been full to their utmost capacity
—and the corps of teachers would be rank
ed auywhere as accomplished and ski'lful.
The whole system lia* been so tar a remark
able success.
B. H. HILL.
The latest accounts make it certain
that this gentleman will receive the
nomination for Congress from the
Ninth District. The ten counties
heard from give Hill thirty-six. Four
counties against Hill, ten delegates.
There arc five counties yet not heard
from, of which at least two and per
haps three will give Hill delegates.
\Ye do not suppose there will be any
regrets from any source if Mr. Hill
should be elected. All know him to
be able, experienced and fearless and
the very man needed to fight against
wrong and usurpation. Mr. Hill is a
firm lawyer a finished orator and par
liamentarian and well qualified to fill
the responsible position to which he
aspires. AYe may rest assured he will
never be found wanting when the
rights of his country are in danger
and will never remain silent as long
as eminent abilities can be of any
avail. Congress is the arena for him
to show his power and worth to his
country, and we have not a single
regret should be get the position.
THE ENFORCEMENT ACT.
The New York Evening Post m a
Washington sjX'cial has the follow
ing:
“The statement is made, upon excellent
authority, that the Supreme Court will not
render any decision of a political nature at
this term—postponing all such cases until
after tne fall elections. This has given rise
to a story which is credited in high quar
ters, that the court has been (Killed and a
majority has been found opposed to declare
ing the enfrocement acts constitutional.
The belief is that the court will sustain the
views taken by JwLe Bradley in the Louis
iana case, from which an appeal was a
ken and the case brought into the Supreme
Court.”
And has it come to this? The
highest author;] y in the land* the toot
of party and the willing instrument
in the hands of the Executive to 1 1-
ther sc. ernes of lawlessness at.d
dreams of power. Postponing until
after the fall elections I t
Common seuse, justice and la*v would
com|H*l them to declare the enforce
ment act unconstitutional, a majority
of the court are going to wait until the
master gives the nod before dispatch
ing that business* which their odicial
duty bids them to finish at ' - *■* CO.
\\ hat is to become of our Judicial -\s
tem aud what troubles on acc aiut cf
conflicting Jurisdiction if the highest
tribunal thus stops Tts machinery and
begins again when it suits the designs
of certain individual?? We can see
no reason for this delay. The rights
of the people demand that not an
hour be lost. If the enforcement act
is unconstitutional there should be no
parley in the matter, no waiting until
after tne fall election.
GRANT AND THE MEC LENEURG
CENTENNIAL.
The President was not honored with
an invitation to the Moclenburg Cen
tennial. How is that? f J he Presi
dent not invited to a grand affair
which will probably not occur again
during Lis lifetime? We.ire a>t nitui
ed and would demand therefor.
The Charlt tte (S. C.) tSouthtrn LIo ne
(0, wickedsheet) answers the que.-
tion thus:
There seems to be a misapprehension as
to the invitation ot General Grant, lie
was not invited by the Committee of In
vitation, but was invited by other | arties.
It would be respectful to invite the Presi
dent ot the Nation, but Grant is simply the
head ot the Radical party, lie is known to
our people solely as the supporter ot Hol
den in his Kirk and Burgin war upon the
liberties of the State; in South Carolina as
the friend of r. k. scoott. frank moses, and
other pronounced thieves; in Georgia, as
holding up t he hands of Bullock and rogues
of thiit ilk; in Alabama, as the counselor on
Ananias Hays, and tlie emp’oyer of Hester,
the murderer; in Louisiana, as the over
thrower ot the lawful government by the
bayonet, and the suslaicer of the usurper
Kellogg; in Arkansas, as the patron ol
thieves and the would, he subveiter ot the
liberties ot the people; all over the South,
as the only prop of the rule of carpet-bag
gers, rogues, rutfians and scallawags. iVe
know him at the South only by his armv of
soldiers to keep carpet baggers in power,
and by his bands of urutal marshals to op
press our best citizens. To invite him is to
endorse his Southern policy ot wrong aud
outrage. The Committee of Invitation
wash their hands cltau ot this thing. They
are opposed to this man from principle, and
not from prejudice. They think that the
destroyer of constitutional liberty ought not
to appear at a celebration commemorative
ot the resolves of our heroic ancestors to
‘pledge their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honors,” in the holy cause ol free
dom.
