FitfDAY MOltNfN’G, S£Pl EMBESfSS, 18*6.
Belief.
We arcnot about to discuss the question of re
pudiation of debt*, or stay of their payment*, we
leave that far otbee advocates or a future ocr*
•iaq-
Bat there is another Lind of relief which will
tie eooij called fir, *u4 which from the failure of
the grain co p* will be imperatively demanded I
l>> a large number of the people, and of courac
wid be yielded by their rcpreseiiUtVrea. because
u hetluij, right or wrong, it wiU be unpopular to
oppose It. The relief we refer to, ia tbe policy
of buying food for the people with the tuoDoy of
tbc public treasury. i ■" '
It i» useless to argue at tliia late day, when
there hare becnjso many precedents, that thia
mode of expending *i>e public money haa no war
.rant in .the Constitution. Constitutions, both
<“t*tn and Federal hare for many years been
mere cob weba to be broken through wheneeer
iteeiie tbe purpose of legislators, and te be made
a very formidable barrier whenever that ruiu
them, tfoeoratitutional signifies only unpopu
lar of inexpedient, and wl>a| it unemqtitutional
in one aection of the country or State, ia marvel,
oualy constitutional in another. The Federal
Government can tend shipload* of provisions to
foreign paupers, and the State can appropriate
hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy corn for
diitribution, and no constitutional objection is
urged because the friends of foreigner* in this
country are voters, and soars our native poor.—
Nobody ia green enough to suppose that Con
gress or the Legislature do such things from mo
tires of pure charity.
A* to this matter then, the Constitution ia not
of much account, and the question of expediency
alone remain*. Is biiyqy food for. the people
"M*» hefajaa* of affordingirclhyl AAbert; such
relief can be only temporary—tlioemail pittance
which fall* to the share o< each applicant 1a toon
exhausted, arid human nature has an uufurtu.
Date habit of getting jpiffrjaim? and again, and
to tay nothing of the deiuoratiilng effect of feed
ing people at the public MpMttUt.fg.tluhjpaU
inefficient way of affording relict
Wo are not going tti deny that rffik-f of some
Sort lannd will be nocoeaary; what we desire is
that it thould be administered In.the most eco
nomical and efficient way'.’ How that is to he
done it a hard problem, but it is one that ha"
been solved for us—the solution U. give those
who need relief employment lucretivo enough to
supply tlioir want—let them cat the bread of
industry, not that of charity aud dependence.—
We may learn a lesson from the history of other
cmjntiin The both revo
lutionary and imperial, pursued this very policy
of feeding tbe poor from the public funds, with
the hope of making tlie’-dangorouwclaesee" con
tented, and having their ™p(K,rl (ar casi. of craur
gonry—hut « wne found that such a policy only
made them more idle, restless and dUeoutentett
dfh* workmen would not work so long at tliey
could be fed, and the prosperity of the country
antlered. The present Kmneror, a man “wise in
hi* generation ” changed all that. It eost a rev
elution or two to break up the system and sev
eral massacres, but umv the French Government
undertakes great public iiupmveiuenta for the
very purpose of affording employm nt, and gives
work and food to all that will work, In couae
quenco the population is quiut aud the govern
ment secure.
We do noi say that the French system is fully
adapted to our situation. But their system mod
ified by our circumstances is ceitainly practici •
blc. Ke portion of the country, with the aarae
resources, has been to little develop* and, ur.d tiio
State could employ ita people in many ways
that would be of grant mol permanent benefit.
The details we leave to others, only suggesting
that if the public treasure could lw applied to
tbe establishment of factories, great relief could
be afforded to the largest and most meritorious
e-loss of the poor—women and children. 'To bo
cure such au appropriation of the public money
would not he "cnmstitutiumd''—but n State that
can engage without .-crunk- in Banking and Kail
road business, and in the grain trade need not
stickle at the Const itut ion.
The Presentment, of the Grand Jury, at the
tetrn of th Wilkes Superior Court, held this
week, very plainly set forth soma of tlie evils of
the present system of relief. The Presentments
will he found in another column.
Tux Ga. R. R. I)tn abe llouss.—Having ooca
akin a few days since to puss up the Georgia
Railroad with an appei ite appropriate to the
time of day, we were invited by our old friend
Mxbbut, to satisfy the aforesaid appetite at hit
table. The last time we stopped at the house
we found that, like all feeding places which have
been established any length of time on the line
of Railroads, it bad rather fallen from ita high
reputation, but »a were most sgreeably disap
pointed on the present occasion. The viands
and attendance cannot be surpassed anywhere,
and Mr. Nxbvut ia rapidly building up the old
XepDtation of the house. We advise all our read
Aita who have occasion to pass Union Point to

we wore invite I to attend a Concert, yiveo by
the Ladiee of Greensboro for the benefit of tlie

purpose of keeping in order the graves of Con
federate soldiers. We need not say that, so far
as we are able to judge, tlie music was exquisite,
and we pen this paragraph solely with the view
of recusninewdiog tbe uf the qaapeiation to

A Raixy Steel. —This month has been to.
markable for the excessive and extensive fall of
rain. No portion of the country seems lo Imre
been exempt from it. In Ohio, an observer re
port* that for seventy-six successive days there
has not been ono without mote or less rain, and
destructive freshets have been the consequence
With us, though the rains have not been ns ex
cessive, they have been sufficient to start vege
tntion into rapid and vigorous growth, and the
pastures and old fields look as green as in the
spring. The cotton has grown more in the last
three weeks than in the whole season before, and
the rankness of its foliage is causing the lower
bolls, all there was to depend on for a crop, to
rot. This cotton crop is done lor.
Salem Dutches, Esq., who has for some months
past conducted the editorial department of the
Augasta Constitutionalist with great vigor and
ability, bos closed his connection with that paper
on acenunt of political differences of opinion with

it bad a leas clumsy name) will hereafter be un

SroorroH, a capital newspaper man, assisted oy

iffiTA correspondent of the Savannah Repu t
lican says that New Orleans mercantile houses
have agents in Southwestern Georgia who have
engaged nearly every baleof cotton in that coun
try, offering to transport it from the various land
ings on the Chattahuochie river, and even from
Columbue, at $3 or *3,?5 per bale—but little
more than it costs to get a bale from this depot
ta Augusta, by tha Georgia Railroad. *
State Tax. —We learn from the Federal Union
1 that tbe property of the State returned for val
