SATURDAY, JANUARY 18. 1873.
How tiik Enforcement Law Ope
rates. — Mr K. George, of Atlanta, told
a negro to vote tlio Democratic ticket.
Ho promised, but voted Radical, lie
was cauglit stealing, and Mr G. dis
charged him. Mr. G. has been arrested
by a United States Commissioner for
intimidation.
Constitutional Convention.—Mr.
J. N.” Gilmore, of Washington, in
troduced a bill in the House calling
for a State Convention to revise tho
Constitution of Georgia. The bill
provides for the election for delegates
to be held in each county in tho mode
and manner of other State elections,
and that each county shall be entitled
to presentation in the House. It also j
provides that said convention shall as- j
semble at the Capitol on the scccond
Wednesday in May next. The Consti
tution, after being revised by said con
vention, is to be submitted to the peo- j
pie for ratification.
The main object is to secure repre- j
sentation in the lower branch of the
Legislature to the four new couutics of
Dodge, Douglas, Rockdale and Mc-
Duffie, and to protect the State agaiust
the fraudulent purposes and corrupt
practices of the holders of illegal bonds; I
to limit the pardoning powcz of the
Governor, and for other purposes.
The Cotton Tax.—A Washington
dispatch says that the Ways and
Means Committee devoted a short time
on Saturday morning to the question of
refunding the cottou tax. No conclusion
was reached, and it is not probable that
any report will be made on the subject
this session. Three members of the
committee arc understood to hold that
the tax was unconstitutional, but
they have not committed themselves to
the support of any measure for refund
ing the amounts paid. The other six
members are opposed to any action bv
Congress on the subject.
Jack 1 kowx Contksts.— Wo learn
that Gen. Phil. Cook has been notified
by Col. Jack Brown that he will con
test his scat in Congress from this Dis
trict. As Col. Brown was Tery badly
defeated, the majority nginst him be
ing nearly two tbonsand, we fail to sec
wherein he bases any hope of securing
the seat. Among other reasons given
why he should be sealed in the place
of Cook, occurs this : “that by reason
of the conduct of one James A. Lewis,
negro leader at Florence, in cutting his
(Brown’s) name off the Radical tickets
sent there, some three hundred votes
were lost to him.” Why yes! to be
sure! Col. Brown lost quite a large
number of votes by reason of many
citizens of this district substituting the
name of Phil. Cook for his on their
ballots. Many negroes refused to
vote .for Col. Brown because he avow
ed himself “a Jeffersonian Democrat,"
and now he complains because his name
was cut off the tail end of the regular
Radical ticket.— Lumpkin Independent.
Tins Tea Tkadk. —The San Fran
cisco Bullentiu of the Ist. inst, says:
The railroad freight tariff for the
eleven months shows a decrease of 4,-
000,000 lbs. in the quantity of tea ship
ped to the Atlantic cities from Sao
Francisco. This decrease is in part
attributable to the predjudicc against
the railroad engendered by the delay in
the transportation of freight last fail
and winter, and to the unsatisfactory
delivery of invoices, aud also to the
success of the Suez canal. There is no
disguising the fact that the Suez route
has its advantages. By that route
merchants in New York receive their
invoices unbroken aud at lower rates
of freights. It is in the power, and we
beleive it will be for the interest of the
steamship and railroad companies, to
place their route on as favorable a foot
ing. This with the additional advan
tage of a shorter time, will give them
a monopoly of the tea carrying trade of
the United States.
Such is the rage for speculation in
California that thirty-two mining coin
p auies, representing $92,250,000 in
capital, were recently formed in one
day.
DON'T ADVERTISE.
Don’t do it. Don’t advert i-o your
business; it’s paying out money to ac
commodate other people; if they want
your goods let thorn hunt you
up.
Don’t advertise, for it gets your name
abroad, and you are apt to bo flooded
with circular- from business bouscs,and
to be bored with drummers from the
wholesale establishments till of which
also results in soliciting your order for
new goods, and money to pay for them
which is very annoying to one of a dys
peptic tempera men t.
Don’t advertise, for it brings people
in from the country (country folks, you
know, are of an inquiring turn of mind)
land they will ask you many astonishing
j questions about prices, try your temper
with showing'them goods, and even vex
you with the request to tic them up ;
which pun you to an additional trouble
of buy more.
Don’t advertise; it gives people abroad
a knowledge of your town, and they
come and settle in it; it will grow and
other business will be induced to come
iu and thus increase your competi
tion.
In short, if you would have a quiet
town, not too large ; if you would not
be harrassed by multitudinous cares
and perplexities of business; if you
would avoid being bothered with pay
ing for and losing time to read a great
cumbersome newspaper, just remain
quiet; don’t let the people know five
miles away where you are, nor what you
arc doing, and you will be severely let
alone to enjoy.the bliss of undisturbed
repose. — Gazette, Redwood City , Cal.

California Cotton. —Cotton raising in
California is apparently destined to become
as important and profitable a branch of in
dustry as the wheat, gold, wine or wool pro
ducts of the State, oi possibly all of them
put-together. The experiment of cultivat
ing the staple are entirely successful. The
cotton raised in Merced county this year is
fully equal to the standard of production
in the Southern States, aud the farmers
who tried the *}:••<• 'me- 11 nve realized suf
ficient profits to warrant iliem in cultivating
liton a more entensive scale. The climate
| seems admirable adapted for the produc
tion of this stap(e. There is an absence of
the dreaded caterpillar, and farmers may
be sure of favorable weather during tho
entire planting season. The Californians
also have the indispensable requsite of cheap
labor, at there ioor, as the Chinase
manifest a suprising apitudo for tho cul
tivation of the staple.—Bulitin.
Gen. Lee’s Birthday. —Gen. Lee’s

Colored Kmiouatiox. / bout three
hundred negroes, embracing men,women
and children, left on the Western bound

We understand that they were from

they hope to do better than they have
been able to do here.— Columbia South

Sudden Death ok an Estimable
Lady. —We regret to chronicle this
morning the death of a most estimable
and well known lady, Mrs. Josiali
j Tattnall, widow of the late Commodore
Tattnall, which occurred at the resi
dence of Mrs. Hertz, on Orleans square,
j corner of Barnard and McDonough
streets. # # Her death will be triourn
|ed in a iarge circle of friends and ac
quaintances, in which she was warmly
beloved and esteemed. It is supposed
that her death was caused by heart
disease.— Sav. News , 16-
Good Faumixo :—A gentleman of
prominence in rail road circles told us
the other day that he had bought a
farm near Macon since the war, paying
therefor $15,000. The crop this year
is fully worth that amount, lie has
made twelve bales of eotton to each
mule, and enough corn to supply the
place for two years. Why go to Texas
when there are such lands and farming
in Georgia? —Columbus Sun.
Rape. —A Jackson county, Georgia
correspondent of the Herald, reports at
length the hanging of Dunstan and
Burns, two negroes convicted of rape
in that county, upon as many white
ladies. The writer says: ‘‘lt seems
like the quiet and ord< r-loving citizens
of this county have been subjected du
ring the pa-t year to a regular series
of those crimes, which arc scarcely par
alleled in erituna! annals, and never
in this section. There have been com
mitted, or attempted, by the usual ac
companying horrors, no less than five
such outrages by negroes upon the
persons of wh to females in this county
and in tho neighboring county of Hall
during the year 1872.
A Sap Cask. —A gentleman from (lie j
country on Saturday last reported a,
most distressing incident incident of
the small-pox terror, which had ju.-t
occurred in the neighborhood from
which ho came only a few miles from
this city. An cntiie household were
stricken with the disease. The mother
died, while her two daughters were ly
ing at the point of death. No one
would come near the place to bury the
dead woman, and the husband was com
pelled not only to perform this sad
duty, but to dig the grave for his wife.
But before he had finished this sorrow
ful task he himself was broken out with
the pestilence j and father and children
were left to die without the aid of their
friends. —Louiscille Courier , (tth.
The dear, good people of merry old
England persistently refuse to pay la
borers, and we now receive the not very
astounding intelligence that they are
emigrating to Brazil by the thousands.
The world has yet to learn the true
value of labor.
Edward Uluian, of St Louis, has
brought suit for SIO,OOO against the
father of the girl ho wanted to marry,
for interfering with his course of true
love. Papas, are to understand that
they have no jurisdiction in such mat
ters.
A Western editor thus embalms the
memory of tlie departed :
“A sanguine young Atchison black
smith had faith in his ability to make
himself tho receptacle of four pints of
raw whisky within fifteen minutes. Pie
wagered twenty-five dollars to that
effect with a skeptic of his neighbor
hood, and made a suburban bar-room
the scene of his performencc. Upon
his neat and ornamented tombsone, now
in process of erection, will be inscribed
the simple epitaph: ‘He smiled and
died.’ ”
A movement is on foot to establish
in Washington City anew paper, in
place of the Patriot, on a financial basis
of SIOO,OOO. It is to be called the
Federal Democrat, and will issue its
fir,-t number some lime in February.
