says that if rite Federal troops are with
drawn* fiom the South, that the democrats
will iudectThave a “solid South.*’
Of affairs in L nusiana the Boston Globe
says that the Federalal Government has no
right to decide-tlic controversy or to use the
army tso support either party. This is con
s'itutional sense.

Wiro Were the Mf.n? — The Cincinnati
Enquirer says: “Avery rich Cal'forma rep
resentntive improved tiie past winter iD
Washington by losing $2( 0,000 at poker,
most of which passed into the hands of an
ex-member of Congress. The Croesus fre
quently lost $5,000 or $6,000 a night.
The Albany News says: “Col. Lockett
has about one hundred convicts employed
upon his plantation. lie is well pleased
with them. They are said to forma happy,
contented lot, is well pleased with their
hard work as a crowd of picaninnies drink.,

Tiie difference between the cost of pro*,
duction ot cotton fabrics, North and South,
js from two to four cents on the pound of
raw material ii favor of the South. In con
sequence, tlra manufactories of Georgia all
prospered last year and declared dividends,
while a large number of the North and
East lost money.—Sun.
Wade Hampton has been married twice,
and is a widower. He had three children
—two sons and a daughter. llis oldest son,
Preston Hampton, was killed at Gettysburg,
and the second. Wade, jr., liyes in Wash
ington county, Miss. His daughter Mar
garet, is the wife of John Hascall, of South
Carolina.
It is stated that Mr. Hayes proposes to
recognize iu a becoming manner the impor
tant services of Spotted Tail in bringing in
the hostile Sioux. The recognition will
take the form ot a substantial reward, calcu
lated to impress the tribes with an appreci
ation ot the services of the friendly Indians
hi the promotion of peace between the races.
General Fitz Lee says he was three
years at West Point with Gov. Nicholls.
11c sai's Nicholls “vv<. popular, strong
willed, amiable and audacious. If Packard
and bis friends think they can ‘bulldoze’
General Nicholls out of the rights conferred
upon upon him by a majority of some ten
thousand votes they will lose time, and if,
they shoot, life.”
The Parisan thieves are more expert than
those of other countries. A man who own
cd a valuable house in a thickly settled part
of Paris, hearing nothing of ids tenant for
nix* months, went to Paris to investigate.
To his surprise he found nothing of his
propertp hut the ground it stood upon, the
thief having dismantled and removed the
house.—Cincinnati Commercial.
A correspondent assures us that Mr
Jay Gould uni a Californian “pal” of that
eminent financier are now helping Cham
berlain and Packard with the “sinews of
war” to keep up trouble and agitation at
the South. There is nothing improbable
in this story, but as to its absolute truth we
cannot commit ourselves. The matter is
too high for us; as the Scripture sath, “we
cannot attain unto it” without the help of
a tall tower —World.
Prohibition in Massachusetts.— -The j
Massachusetts House of Representatives, on
Tuesday, ordered to a third reading, by a
majority of twenty, the prohibitory law i
passed in 1869 and repealed in 1876. But i
few changes are made in the law, and these i
are for the heavier punishment ot offcndeis
of all classes. The Prohibitionists claim a i
majority ot eight in the Senate, so that the '
success ol the bills is assured.

The Grasshoppers in Ei:eaui.a —The
Times of Thusday says it is not general'.v
known here that a mighty swarm of grass
hoppers, millions in* mmilier, passed over
tliis section ot country, going in a northerly
direction, on last Friday night. Tousands
of them fell in the city, as was also the case
at Macon and Columbus, Georgia. Some
apprehensions have been expressed to us
that w e are to be visited this summer and
full by the western grasshopper plague, hut
we do not think so, from the tact that the
great bulk ot the drove or swarm of Friday
night passed over and on to the north, and
the comparatively lew that tell in our
midst, were mere stragglers from the main
body]
Communicated, j v
Mb. Editor;— lt is now evident Hhat the
convention will meet with more opposition
than its friends e.\|>eeted. The mass of the
common people had rather put up with the
present Constitution than risk their chances
in the hands of the ccnventionists They
believe they see that the monied men—those
who are free an easy—those who have a
large number ot notes and accounts upnid;
and the professional class, almost without
exception, ate in favor of a convention.
Therefore those whoare in debt (and ih ir
name is legion) believe that this class is
seeking to breakdown the barriers that pre
vent them from getting at the property, and
even the persons of those who are in debt,
/n fact objections to the Homestead seem to
lie one great reason for a convention; and
when imprisonment for debt lias been sug
gested the above fears are not without foun
dation. There are some who are opposed to
a convention, believing it to be unwise and
unfortunate to have brought on an election
and political agitation at such an unseasona
ble time as tlie Ist week in June, wheu
every farmer has all his time and energies
occupied with his crop.
m middle Georgia it is harvest week, and
a more unfortunate time could not have
been selected. Perhaps this was -intended
by the cohventionists, believing a large
number cf their opponents would not leave
their business to go to the polls, and thus
enhance their chance. A great deal has
been written and said to show cause why a
convention should be held, and in it all, we
see the homestead and the fact that the pres
ent Constitution was made by a different
P&rty from that which now niles in this
State is the main gist of the argument. A
convention without a homestead feature in
it would not live a day in Georgia; and the
arguments against the present Constitution
because it was made ty the republican prrty
are mere vapors rising from the heat of pre
judice and opposition. Is the ti nt hto be es
timated by the source from which it corn _s ?
Does a good tiling loose its valve because
bestowed by those we don’t like V It is fur
stated tint the profligacy and extravagance
ol the last legislature, it nothing else, is suf->
ficient cause for a convention. Now I will
not undertake to defend the legislature in
this article but I am well satisfied that the
convent ion ists are no better political econo
mists than ther opponents and no reduction
ot high sallelies may be looked for from
that body. The large amount of local legis
lation has also been urged as a reason for a
convention. This is the best argument I
have seen on the subject. The vast num
ber of local bills introduced take up two
thirds of the time of the legislature and pre
sents and evil that must be overcome in
some way An act passed giving to the
various tribunals in each county the power
to regulate the matter from which so many
local bills arise, would romedy this difficul
ty. Fears have been cxpiesse J that some
future legislature would he bribed to an
agreement to pay ofl the eight millions bo
gus bonds, and urged tin t as a reason tor a
convention. But an amendment has been
made to the constitution placing such a
think out of the power ot any future legisla
till e, and people of Georgia are called upon
to ratify or reject said amendment at the
polls on the first day of May next. The “gi
ganlic evil ot State aid” need not be feared in
the future for no legislature will obligate
the State in that way in the face of the well
settled public opinion against it. The ap
pointing {tower of tiie Governor and all the
evils of the present Constitution can, and
would be remedied by legislation if tiie idea
of a convention were set aside.
We want no more political excitement.—
He have Imd too much of it in the lust six
months. The people want rest from poll
tics, and are willing to abide our present
Constitution with such amendments as the
legislature may make in due time. No new
Constitution can relieve the people. Their
g.ieat embarrassment is debt; and for that
imprisonment is suggested, A grim conso
lation indeed ! High interest on money
and extortion in time prices is what is press
ing so heavily on the people and has involv
ed them in debt from which hundreds can
never recover, The wisdom of tne con von
tionists will tail to find a remedy for this
We believe the people will wake npfufiy on
this matter and vote a large majority in Up
son For ]X T o Convention,
The Color -Line.— Tiie Popular Month
ly has the following:
“A gentleman traveling in England had
a letter of introduction to a person of some
distiction whose whole estate was in excel
lent keeping. Among other fine animals
shown him was a white cow, and tins crea
lure, he was told, was the very personifica
tion of pride. As though 6he considered
herself of pure blood, she claimed prece
dence in all cases. She always went ahead
ot the herd. Ihe best bit of pasture was
her exclusive domain, on which no other
duist intrude. So far did she carry her
pretensions that it any of the other coivs
entered the stable before her she would re
fuse to enter. Anxious to see this with his
own eyes he desired to be taken to her stable
at evening. The man, instructed how to
act, drove in some ot the other cows. The
w bite cow drew up, not only did she refuse
to advance in spite of all encouraging words,
but lu*r w hole frame swelled with anger
-ami offended dignity. She kept lowing con
rurally. At last the cows within, as though
conscious that they had forgotten their
place, began to come out, and as they were
driven out the proud white, with an evident
air of gratified pride, strode in the stable.
Cheerfulness at Home. —Among pa
rents, calmness, patience, cheerful nature,
are of vital importance. Many a child goes
astray not because there is a want of prayer
or virtue at home, but simply because home
lacks sunshine. A child needs f miles as
much as flowers sunshine. Children look
a little beyond the present moment. If a
thing pleases, they are apt to seek it; if it
displeases, they are prone to avoid it. If
home is the place where laces are sour and
words harsh and fault-finding is ever in the
ascendant, they will spend as many hours as
possible elsewhere. Let every mother and
fattier, then* try to be happy. Let them
look happy. Let them talk to their little
or>es m such a way as to make them ha| py.
Solomon's rod isagreat institution, but there
arc cases not a few where a smile or a pleas
ant word will serve a better purpose and be
more agreeable to both parties.
Governor Hayes is on his way to Wash
ington. To be consistent he should enter
the White House by the back door.— £* .
