LESSORS THEY TRACH.
The results of the October elect ions are
before the people, and the lessons they teach
are filled with significance. la Ohio, where
it was proclaimed that the Democracy had
no chance whatever, Sena lor Thurman and
a few others like himself, who still held firm
in the belief that the Democratic party waa
sound at the core, called a convention and
nominated Mr. Allen, one of the “straigUest”
of straight Democrats for Governor, with a
full ticket. Not a few among the Democratic
papers denonneed this as snicidal. Leaders,
liko Mr. Pogb, went over to the hybrid organi
zation, yclept ■•Liberal,” and put np another
ticket, while the Radicals had all their men
in the field.
It can be safely asserted that not a "'Rad
ical” nor “Liberal" had the slightest idea
that Allen stood the faintest chance for an
election. He was to be “buried under fifty
thonsand majority," and it was broadly hint-
ed that the iuen who were engineering the

The demagogues who are making all the
clamor about rich and poor ar6 for the most
part, men who never did a day's hard work in

upon the credulity of the public, and it is
just because there is a possibility of their be-
ing thrust from the treasury into which they
have had their hands for years, that they are
raising the bowl we hear.

The Decline in Cotton.
At thirteen and a quarter cents per pound,
cotton is at an absurdly low price. With
the staple selling at 16} in New York, and at
18} in Liverpool, it onght to bring more than
thirteen cent* in Georgia. Believing this, we
do not hesitate to recommend farmers to
bold their cotton until they can get fifteen
cents. <>f course, where a planter’s note
matures, it is his duty to sell, even at a
PAcrifice. but to all who have no debts to
pay we .vy, hold your cotton. While the
continued locking np of greenbacks keeps
the money market fearfully stringent, there
is no deere -.se in the volume of currency in
the countiy. Iu a short while the mass of
lhe currency will again be put in circula
tion, and then the demand for cotton will
force the price up again.
.% XKOaO CORVBliTiUX.
The soul of the martial Sambo is stirred,
lie says that the Governor has not given him
his proportion of the qnota of arms allowed
to Georgia, and he is very much aroused
about it. A convention has been called by
Edwin Belcher of the Central Cilv Blues, of
Macon, to investigate the matter, and find
out “if not, why not?”
That the Governor will at once snecumb to
this whirlwind of wrath which comes blaring
f.in Africa sunny plains, and immediately
forward to Belcher ^ery piece of ordnance,
foreign or domestic. That he haa on band, we
have not a doubt.
If he don’t we would advise Belcher to w»k*
him do it Smith is one of the easiest men
to drive we ever axw, and if Belcher wants
reputation now is the time to go in and win.
Be firm, Edwin, be firm.
Our advices from France show that the
monarchists have experienced what is likely
to prove a fatal cheek to their plans. The
elections of last Sunday resulted in their
complete defeat, the Bonapartists haring
voted solidly with the Republicans. They
may succeed in prolonging MacMahon’s
Presidency, as we believe the Bonapartists
favor prolongation, preferingto wait until the
Prince Imperial has reached twentymne years
of age, to attempting a restoration of the
Empire with a regency. But wc believe that,
while the Republic has been temporarily
saved, the victory belongs to the Bonapart
ists absolutely. As soon as they see that
neither De Chambord nor Comte de Paris
can ascend the throne, the monarchists will
be compelled to look to Chiselhurst for a
solution of their political difficulties, and to
Napoleon IV. for the overthrow of the Re
public, which they hate.

prices. This is an ad vantage gained.
Second. By buying through a secretary, j
whose duty it is to watch things clos ly and
deal sagaciously, they will, as it were, sift out
the illegitimate merchants, and concentrate
the trade npon those who are reliable and
trusty. This is an additional advantage
which of itself is sufficient to warrant the
Grangers in perpetuating their organization.
It is often not what a farmer legitimately
spends, but what he is swindled out of, that
impoverishes the farmer.
The main advantages, however, to be de
rived, in our opinion, is the benefit always
derivable from organized co-oporation. When
the farmers work together, they are poweifnl.
Single-handed, they are weak. We shall ex
pect to see immense improvements in stock,
in implements, in farm houses, and in all the
general plan of farming, spring promptly
from this organization. For instance, a
grange composed cf a dozen farmers, wish to
improve the blood of their cattle; by compar
atively small contributions from each of them,
enough money is raised to purchase a pure
bred fcnll of whatever stock may be desired,
and the whole neighborhood is at once bene-
fitted. So of a sew and expensive piece of
farm machinery; where one could not buy, a
dozen can. So of all sorts of implements, ex
periments and progressive steps. What one
couldn’t afford to venture a dozen can, and
will.
Another admirable feature of the organiza
tion is, that it establishes iu every farming
community a permanent respectable sort of
farmers’ society or agricultural club, in which
all kinds of discussion can be carried on, to
the vantage of the public. The various ferti
lizers that the several members have tried may
become known from actual experience; the
capacity of cotton gins and presses; the effica
cy of certain plows; the fruitfulness of certain
fancy seed; the best method of cultivating cer
tain crops; the results ot all sorts of experi
ments may be intelligently discussed in these
meetings of the Granges, and the world will
be much wiser thereby. What rich results of
hard, common sense, and business knowledge
would spring from the discussion of the vari
ous details of agriculture, by ten thonsand
practical farmers, talking quietly among them
selves once a month in two hundred counties
the year through.
Then it secures to us some of the legitimate
and useful results that will spring naturally
and without any forcing from the great Farm-
era’ movement.
As long as it eschews politics, it will bc a
success, and only that long !

A LOYAL srBJNTT OF THE I|EHALD.
Sir. W. H. West of West Point, an amia
ble and loyal “denier in stoves, tin-ware and
house-furnishing goods,” has issued a circu
lar in which he announces that he has erected
“one of the mest complete and comfortable
wagon yards" in the interesting town in
which he lives. This announcement of itself
would not call for special notice for it, but in
the circular Mr. West takes particular pains
to inform lhe public that this wagon yard has
been opened ‘ 'under a license granted by the
municipal authorities of this city, [West
Point], and not objected to by the Atlanta
Hexald. ”
We rejoice most heartily to find Mr. West
so keenly alive to the power of the Heeals.
If we had objected to that license there is no
telling what might have become of his wag
on yard. Prudence is evidently odb of |Mr.
West's characteristics. He knows that if we
had objected, his wagon yard would have re
mained a desert; for the good people of West
Point, who do not get panio stricken, and
who pay the most implicit obedience to all
the mandates ot the Herald, would most as
suredly have rebuked his presumption had
he ventured to erect a wagon yard iu the face
of our objection.
The municipal authorities of West Point
had onr full authority to grant the license.
Modesty prevents our telling that they con
sulted ns before granting it. Indeed, modes
ty alone keeps ns from saying that people do
nothing in West Point, or anywhere else in
Georgia, without first obtaining our authority.
If, however, Mr. West desires it, we will fur
ther graciously assure him that he has our
fall permission to keep that wagon yard,
provided he keeps it clean aud orderly.
Should he violate the terms of this proviso
we shall be forced to order our worthy muni
cipality at West Point to revoke that license.
But so long os he obeys us aud observes the
same respectful deference to our authority he
may continue in peace to receive all the wag
ons and wagoners he aan get to patronize him.
and to prosper exceedingly.
More of the DtaMgefac'i Cry.
There are a pack of miserable minded men
in every community who seem to make it
their epecial business to array class against
class. Just now they are endeavoring to
make it appear that the mnnicipal ticket
headed by Judge Collier, is the production of
the Chamber of Commerce and of rich men,
and that it has been nominated in the inter
est of the rich against the poor.
Excepting in a casual remark concerning
Jndge Collier, we have not expressed any pre
ference for cither of the tickets now before
the people. Bat we do most energetically
protest against lhe Jviie demagoguery which
seeks the favor of the poor man by attacks on
and innendoes against the rich, and by a des
picable sycophancy and a base pandoriug to
tbe worst passions and prejudices of men.
In the ticket headed by Judge Collier there
is nothing that can lead any man to suppose
it a “ rich man's ” ticket. Some of tho names
for Aldermen we will not support for the

The proclamation of Gov. Powers, conven

session at the Capitol in Jacksoo, on the 20th
in6t, to amend the election laws of the Stat?,
declares that as at present provided, a general
election for Congressmen occurs every even
j’ear, and a general election for members of
the Legislature and other officers every odd
year of the calendar, thus forcing upon the
people a general election every year, while
the coDstitution of the State contemplates
that general elections shall occur only in each
alternate year. He also says that an act of
the Legislature, approved April 21, 1873, de
clares that the election of 1871 shall be held

A New York correspondent of the Boston
Post gives some interesting facts ot Frank
Walworth aud his mother; “His. Walworth
is now, nnd has been since first tho awful
news reached her, absorbed in the on a idea
of enduring for her son’s sake, and working
when there is work to do for him. She is
perfectly and absolutely indifferent to her
surroundings. She never complains of any
discomforts or privations; heat or cold, fa
tigue or res*, she doe* not appear to think of.
And in his own case, life inside the prison
means, as it has outside for many years, ‘my
mother.’ He never admits to her, or to auy
member of his family, that he feels the con
finement, the labor, the coarse food, or any
of tbe hardships of the prison. He claims,
os he bos from tbe first, that he committed
no crime, becauso be acted in self-defense.”
terday that there was only about $100,000
worth of silver coin in New York. About this
period of the year a certain portion of tbe
quantity of silver in the home market is
bought by silversmiths and jewelers for man
ufacturing porptoses. Bat as the trade is dull,
owing to financial troubles, their portion of
the silver remains in the market, tnus aiding
in bearing down the rate. These causes com
bi aed have sufficed to create such a marked
decline in the exchangeable value of sil
ver, which bas always ltd greenbacks
from its international use as a medium of
exchange.—Kew York W orld.
