The Grangers. SYNOPSIS OF THE BEMABK3 OF QOVEBNOB SMITH AND COLONEL T. C. HOWABD AT THE MEETINO OF THE OBEENE COUNTY ORANGES?. We p:om:sei tD give the substance of the j great speeches of Governor §mith andColonel Howard in last Sunday’s Hebald, but circum stance prevented it in that issue. But as it is “matter which will keep,” wc give a synop sis to-day. We commend the ideas aud lan guage to every friend of huslandryin the land: GOVERNOR smith’s REMARKS. Governor Smith, upon being introduced to the very large assemblage (many of those present being ladies), was received in the most liatteriug manner, and after a few well con ceived compliments to old Greene, to her il- lastrious dead as well as to the living, pro ceeded directly to the discussion of the great questions affecting the material prosperity of the State and generally of the Southern States. First, he said he would take notice of the rath er pungent criticisms with which certain gen tlemen and certain newspapers had visited previous comments and statistics which he had felt constrained to bring to the public notice. The objection brought against him excepted from this rule. The lien laws were scrupulously insisted on, giving direct aud partial protection to every other interest than the farmer's interest. What lien had he? What lien did the legislature give him of partiality and favoritism? No lienB for him, but everything and everybody, it seemed, were resolved to lean on him. In saying this he favored no class legislation—was making war on no man, or set of men, but was simply asking for “an open field and a fair fight” lor any and all industries. But, said the speaker, there should be discussions of our great material interests of all sorts among ourselves, and faithful and able rep resentatives of them in our General Assem bly. We want at home our ablest and best men; for here, at last, was the theatre in which our truest statesmanship was most needed, and would effect the most good. Besides this, ns agriculture was our greatest interest, sustaining and en ergizing all others, he felt bound to say after much reflection, that the Legislature should organize effectively and at once, a “Bureau of Statistics and Agriculture” for the State of Georgia. It will be difficult for the friend of reform and improvement, to show how this agency can longer be dispensed with. The best informed man in our State has at his command only very partial and unsatisfactory details of our wealth, soil or geological char acteristics aud resources. Intelligent men who contemplate immigration or investment do not generally act blindfold. They insist ia the comments alluded to was that the and most naturally, that particulars and data Speaker had deilt harshly, if not unfairly, with the condition of affairs in Georgia, when he compared our condition in 1870 with that ot 1860 or 1850. While the speaker could not see how arguments of apology, of extenuation or explanation made the material reliable and full, sball be afforded them, be fore they desert their old residences or ebango investments, aDd adopt our State as their new home. Have we done anything as a S’ate to lencourage this prudent and valuable class to come among us and decide to cast their lot condition of the country either better or ; with ns? worse, he accepted the challenge offered by j It is notoriously true that tlure does not his critics, and could show and would thus j exist of record in our archives a description satisfy all who took exception to his statistics j of any county in Georgia which would be sat- that not only has Georgia retrograded in her | isfactory to the mind of a careful man con- agriculture in the last two decades, bufre-1 templating removal to it.

Ihese than it was in 1870 by 8,795 bales. In 1870, I results stand out in bold relief; all eyes —* we made of wheat 2.127,017. This crop is 2,102,394,showing a decrease of 24,623, if the allowance of seven bushels to the acre is not greatly over the maik, which it must l e. Now we come to the great stand-by, the farmer’s right arm—Indian corn. What say the figures here ? Why, that in 1870 we made 17,646,459 bushels, and this year, allowing eight bushels to the acre returned as planted, we will have 15,421,168 bushels. This is a falling off on the present year’s jield of 2,- 225,291 bushels. Every man can make his own calculation as to the per cent, of de crease. But let that be great or small, there stands the fact, gloomy, stunning, wonder ful, that in our bread we are every year draw ing nearer and nearer to the time when we must come to want. Can the apologist for our shortcomings,—can the most infatuated self-love see anything in the figures and cal culations we have just submitted which leaves the slightest grounds for self-gratula- tion. So, while our own State returns show this decline in the three leading staples of our State, the United States returns by decades make the frightful exhibit of a decrease in some particulars in our tables of 60 and 70 per cent., and in all, of an average of about 42 per cent. Surely, said the speaker with much emotion, men cannot suspect me of making a parade cf these melancholy facts. It would be a cruel injustice for any one to any or sup pose that he did not admit the truth of the figures with profoundest pain and solicitude. These evidences of decay and waning power in all States and at all times, were themes full of painful rt flection to the student ol history. But when the case comes home to your heart, as the case of your own Shite, vour own people, in fact comes home to you as your owu great personal concern, how else could a light minded min feel than pro foundly and painfully. He stood thero to day for the purpose of invoking the brilliant assemblage before him, and thfough them to gaddresa every community in Georgia,and arouse, if possible, a spirit ot enquiry into the causes of this d-eiine, and the means of restoration. Far be it from him to think lightly or to speak ex ltantly of any retrogradation in the status of 'ue State he loved as he did Georgia, but sti. faither be a careless or an indifferent spi. it which could allow him to know these aud see the impending fate of his peo pie, and make no effort in behalf of their lailii ;' fortunes. The question of the day v a», **What can be done, aud bow quickly can bo accomplished.” He repeated firstl ness them; all patriotic hearts deplore them, and yet we go staggering about in the dark, asking in bated breath ot each other, what can be ibe matter. Well, let tbe enquiry pass around—let each anxious aDd resolved heart keep pressing it—for the solution will then come. All things lawful and good are possible to human beings who seek the truth in love of it, and whose moral sense and common sense are not overruled and judi cially blinded by the sins and sinfulness of our nature. Among these things—yea, let us call them by their name—among these sins, is that selfishness of our leading men, su preme, callous, short-sighted aud ruinous to the common weal, that has devoted powers of intellect and grand opportunities to the paltry work of individual advancement, and in utter contempt of the claims and sacrifices which society had such a ju3t right to en force. When the histories of these men as public servants are calmly surveyed, a just criticism must declare that nothing could be more barren, more frivolous, more utterly without purpose. Let a young man of fine endow ment appear among us, and straightway his doating parents and elated kins people begin to devise plans which, in the long run, as effectually render nugatory and unavailable that j*oung mao’s gifts as if he were banished bodily from the State. Of course be must be a lawyer, and nothing else, or how should he have the right sort of opportunity to attract the admiration and plaudits of tho multitude? Atter a brief term as Solicitor-General, he must represent his county, or at least pretend to do so, but only to satisfy his backers that he really possesses tho parts they ascribed to him in their bonndle>s admiration. Theu begins the old strife and struggle that for fifty years has raged throughout the hosts of our talented aud promising men. A struggle to reach Washington,] to force a way to the front rankr of the gladiators, who contend with tho selfish and aimless purpose of the true athlete on that arena, woars aud wastes tho lives of eight-tenths of the precious talent of tliel State and the Southern Stales. W r bat im pression has this woeful-melancholy ambition ever made on our own fortunes. What good thing has it secured—what evil thing averted' IIow blind in these men was it not to see that the only evils that ever bcfel the States came from the General Government, and the onlyj I blessings we enjoyed were the sole fruits of| IIow have been made to restore our honor and our State. It may be that when you shall unite your suffrage and attestation to that of thous ands of other Georgians, who believe that a citizen ot the State has done wisely and well, who has devoted his time and talents to our people, that we shall call into the State’s ser vice men who seem to think now that such small business is only cutting blocks with a razor. But let that be os it may, we, the people, are on our feet at last, aud intend to assert ourselves. These great men and boru geniuses must make up their minds, aud at once to take service with ns, or to behold in amazement and dis gust, how little sense it really requires to run the government. We the people will ruu it We will not be left more helpless nor more benighted in our effort at material reconstruc tion now than we were left in 1866, when we groped our way towards civil and political re construction—with all or nearly all the gen iuses, like “fiddlers,” safe in their holes above high water mark. Yes, the farmers of this State are resolved that this sham of pupilage and guardianship for us must stop. We cre ate tbe wealth, what little there is of it, and its distributiou, we have made up our mind, shall be a little less partial. No more muz zies if you please for we oxen who are tread ing out the corn. If we must find capital for middle men, and then after overseeing it and find, besides, insurance at even over cost we mnst have a better division. We have for years taken the cobb and giveu our helpmates the corn, and our attenuated frames are hold ing high controversy with this sort of a partnership. Our legislative wisdom must come down from its pride of place. Oar proud professional and do-nothing factors must condescend to affect the practical, and must at least profess to feel an interest in the productive energy and effort ot au empire. We have now a department of State Govern ment lounded for the express purpose of caring for our wild lands—we have now bureau for the marshalling and oversi *bt of our taxes—we have a popular aud venerated Treasury for bolding and disbursing the moneys that arise trom our yearly income, but the great source of all this strength is ignored by all the powers that be or that ever was, and agriculture, in the opinion of our states men, may live if it can or die if it must. It is a sad truth that we cannot survive as a people unless the attachment laws shall be perfected and the statutes affecting the rates of interest must be looked into with great solemnity that no “harm should come to the Ilepublic.” We have seen days given to angry and soul-absorbing dis cussions of an executive nomination to office, but the oldest mau in Georgia has hardly ever seen the half of this time given by our Legis lature to the question, “have we coal and iron mines, and what sba’l we do with them?” have we fisheries undeveloped ” or “which is the more valuable animal.a sheep or a negroe’s cur?” or “are manurial agents of value to an agri nltural people?” or “is the Stats of Georgia a finished society aud in need ot any other and further material help or development?” We prate and scold about our hapless condition, talk about diversifying our indnsry and encouraging manufactories, and teu to one compare Georgia with Massa chusetts, and all this time wc see at our feet the great spring of hope nnd wealth drying up, aud that industry that teeds all and sus tains all, dwindling to death. In ain may fault finders aud builders, who begin at the roof, berate for not diversifying our industry, establishing manufactures in our Stato when we go to strangers hundreds of miles off to buy our bread aud meat, and find out selves at Christmas, though e-sentially and out of all proportion an agricultural people, as poor Lazarus. Let us quit building at tbe top till we look to the foundation, which, in the nature of things, must be laid in the soil. Shorten the cotton crop of the South onc-balf, and double our provision crops, and in an in stant we are redeemed and become the richest people upon the face of the earth. With twice our mouey income, and double the amount of sustenance, we stop drains and leaks—wo will have self-sustaining farms which wo do not. now* have—we will have a cash surplus for manufactories, and colleges and high schools, churches will be erected, conveniences of life will become common, which are now forbid den fruit to thousands, aud the Georgian who would be willing to leave his native State for any other spot of earth will bo looked upon as a sort of harmless lunatic who might as well be let to roam at will. Is it to be said that the task of restoration is hope less when it lies in so narrow' a compass ? What insuperable obstacle blocks the way to ourhallsot legislation, if we desire to send earnest-minded and practical men to them? Having neither part nor responsibility in national politics, is there not patriotic fervor enough left among us to feel for the declining honor and strength of our beloved Georgia? Now that a bond of brotherhood is binding tho farmers of the land, a bond strong and bright as a cable of gold, can we not reach that solution so long evading us, of how to control the cotton crop, and that twin prob lem ot how to double the provision crop? Behold the secret of success and empire dis closed. With a properly directed wisdom ki aud concern in our general assembly, to point j out and then to foster what are our lrnestjj and greatest interests, meut on tbe part ot the agricultural popula- tion towards reform and home economy, our success is sure. I may be hopeful beyond measure; I may have misconceived our re sources and exaggerated our natural advanta ges, and if I have, the blunder is an egregious j GEORGIA State Lottery FOR SEPTEMBER.

Tho best men of tbe South felt that their first duty was to their own mother State, and the consequence to this logical and noble impulse was that the States were aggrandized at the expense of the ception to grass and weeds, wo find the finest instances, even where crops have not been thrown out and abandoned, in which the ap pearance of our fields give the least evidence of thrift and care. By this neglect, the speaker said, he had no doubt tbe yield in corn would not exceed eight bushels per acre. All this must {change cr we are a doomed central government.
