The Philadelphia Press says, with calm

as many of its contemporaries say, but
rather an era ot detection. At all events
it is detection after years of Republican

Winslow, the Boston fugitive defaulter,
had committed forgeries before his final
and fatal crime, but making the paper
good, it was condoned by Boston mer
chants. It is said this is not unfrequently
the case among merchants there, and in

there. .
We may casually remark that things t h e “Fulton Cotton Spinning Compa

makers of the next century will allude to j pectec j to follow the publication of the re-
the present year as “the liveliest year j por t recently made to the Directors of the
Atlanta Cotton Factory Company by Pres
ident Kimball and Superintendent Davis.
The splendid showing made in that report
of the prefits of cotton Manufacturing in
the South, and the very flattering pros
pects of the Atlanta Cotton Factory Com
pany thus foreshadowed, has’‘awakened a
new and very deep interest in the subject
in this community, and there seems to be
no longer any doubt as to the financial
success of that great enterprise.
The inauguration of other similar enter
prises is a natural and not unexpected
result.
The bill will doubtless pass without
opposition. It certainly ought, for nothing
the State can do should be left undone, to
foster and encourage manufacturing indus
tries within her borders.
The increase of manufactures will be
found the surest and speediest solution of
our financial troubles, and the safest road
to general prosperity and success. We
are not informed as to the plans of the
proposed Company in detail, but the
business will be what its name indicates*
namely, the spinning of cotton yarns, for
which there seems to be a strong and
constantly increasing demand,
The corporators are Clark Howell, J. C.
Kimball and J. C. Peck, all gentlemen of
energy and enterprise.
Judge Howell is one of our oldest and
best known citizens, a man of means and
an experienced manufacturer. Mr. J. C.
Kimball has made a fine reputation in
this community, as an active, energetic
man of rare business qualifications and
experience. He is thoroughly familiar
with the manufacture of cotton, and; was
for a long time an earnest and persistent
advocate of a cotton factory in Atlanta.
It was largely due to his influence that his
brother H. I. Kimball was induced to take
hold of the grand enterprise, of which he
is now the head, and which both labored
so faithfully and efficiently to establish.
Mr. J. C. Peck is one of our Leading man
ufacturers and most valuable citizens. He
has, perphaps, done more than any other
one man to build up the manufacturing
interest of our city. He has been emi
nently suctessful in his business, and is
recognized as one of our safest and most
sagacious business men. He is now a
prominent Director of the Atlanta Cotton
Factory Company.
With such gentlemen at the head of it,
the “ Fulton Cotton Spinning Company ”
cannot fail of success. We are glad to
learn that a considerable portion of the
stock required has already been pledged,
and we hope to see this valuable addition
to our manufacturing industries fully in
augurated at au early day. We commend
it to the favorable consideration of our cap
italists and business men, and hope they
will give it every encouragement and aid.
This Factory is sure to be followed by
others, and the day is not distant when
Atlanta will rival any city in the South in
the manufacture of cotton goods.
THE CONVENTION BII.E.
The Legislature has passed a bill calling
a convention to meet in the city ot Atlanta
on the first Wednesday in March, the elec
tion to be held for 198 delegates on the
first Wednesday in January. Before the
election of delegates to this convention an
entirely new Legislature will have been
elected and before the convention will
meet, this Legislature will have concluded
its labors and adjonrned. A Governor
will have been elected and inaugurated
and all of his appointments made. AU
this will happen under the present consti
tution.
The Legislature, me understand, intends
to remedy this by a resolution declaring
that all appointments made by the Gov
ernor shall hold their office for the term
prescribed by the Constitution to be
framed by the Convention which will as
semble in March.
Just here we apprehend there will be
trouble. Can the Legislature by a mere
resolution prescribe different tenures
from those under which these officers are
elected? Can a resolution of the Leg
islature repeal a law of the legislature ?
Under the present Constitution and laws
of the State a Governor is elected to serve
for four years. Suppose the Convention
shall undertake to shorten this term and
the Governor refuses to vacate. What
process can be resorted to to compel him ?
If we remember correctly, this very
question it was, which gave rise to all the
trouble in Arkansas, between the rival
Governors, and we make the suggestion
this morning in order that the Senate may
take the matter into consideration, and
if there is any force in them provide a
remedy.
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
We do most earnestly protest against
the legislature taking any action that
looks to the abolition of the Stale Board
of Health.
A year or two ago the Georgia Legisla
ture, after a full and careful discussion of
the subject in all its branches established,
three bureaus, that of Agriculture, Geolo
gy and Health. At the present session a se
vere attack was made upon each of these
departments. The friends of the bureaus
protested that they had not yet had a suf
ficient trial, and claimed that it would be
unjust to cut them off so soon, and thus
condemn a very important experiment
before it, had had a chance to work out
its salvation. Under this protest the Geo
logical and Agricultural Bureaus have been
brought to trial, and have been largely sus
tained. We bespeak for the Board of
Health similar fair treatment.
In oar opinion, the Board of Health is
one of the most important of our State de
partments. The first question invariably
asked by a man who is thinking of mov
ing to a new country is, “Is it healthy?’
This question answered intelligently in the
affirmative, removes a world of doubt, and
puts the stranger in sympathy with the
country at once. We have always been
taught to believe that Georgia is a remark
ably healthy State. It is certainly won
derfully free from most of the great epi
demies that annually depopulate certain
sections of our country. A series of intel
ligent tables ot statistics, showing the
wonderful healthfulness of our State,
would induce a stream of immigration
thither, that would more than compensate
the small outlay made to the Board of
Health. Such a statement that Board can
and will prepare.
But it is in the prevention of disease
that the Board can do its most effectual
work. There is nothing that costs so much
to the individual directly and the State in
directly as sickness. To prevent or lessen
this, then, is to enrich the people and the
State. Now we doubt if there ever has
been an instance in which the Govern
ment interested itself in the sanitary con
dition ot its people, that it did not
lessen the percentage of deaths. History
is full of instances where sickly stations
have been reclaimed and made healthy,
«nH the records show many cases where
the percentage of deaths fell off fifty per
cent- within a few years after the Govern
ment has put its fingers on the public
pulse.
The duty of our Board will be, we pre
sume, first to discover the death rate of the
various sections of the Sta< e. Next to dis
cover what diseases are prevalent and pe
culiar and fatal in each section, and to as
certain the cause of such prevalence and
fatality, god then suggest and apply a
remedy or an amelioration.
If the Board can simply spread one great
ftnitary truth it will trebly repay the ex-
the line between tbe-counties of Troup
and Heard.

The Danger of Independency.
A COMPLETE ANSWER.
Tlie Action of the state Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee.
Editor Herald:
In an Atlanta daily of Sunday was
copied an editorial from the Augusta
Chronicle seeming to desire an explanation
of the recent action of the State Demo
cratic Committee. I give it with pleasure,
when understood it lias been commended.
Two State Conventions are required
this year. One to appoint delegates to the
National Convention, and the other to
choose Presidential electors and nominate
a candidate for Governor—the latter the
most important- In consequence of the
hard times, it was doubted if two conven
tions could be raised in a month or two of
each other, while it would injure the party
to have either fail. It was necessary,
therefore, to do away with one if
possible, and the one to appoint delegates
was, as the least important, chosen to ob
viate. It is always customary for the del
egates from each Congressional district in
a State Convention to select the two dele
gates and two alternates Irom the District
to the National Convention. To remit this
matter to District Conventions was a sub
stantial fulfillment of the usual custom.
The only difficulty remaining was the se
lection of four delegates at large. To call
a costly State Convention for this simple
purpose alone in these hard times seemed
senseless. The committee therefore call
upon the District Conventions to nominate
four delegates at large each, and if they
failed to agree upon the sams four, to
empower the committee to select the most
unanimou* four from all those designated.
Thus, good delegates, fresh from the
people, can be obtained, without the
troublesome and costly machinery of a
State Convention, and when the selection
of electors and the nomination of a Gov
ernor are to bo done—both matters of
superior importance—the interest in the
convention that attends .to them will be
fresh and zealous.
It was deemed best to have^the District
Convention field on the same day. and
Wednesday, the middle of the week, and
the 26th day of April without reference to
its being s holiday, were chosen as being
best for the farmers, as allowing three
months for consideration, and yet leaving
a couple of months for delegates to watch
the tendency of public sentiment. The
fact of the 26th being a holiday is no reason
for choosing another day.
The selection of Gen. Gordon as alter
nate, was a precaution to have a certain
attendance from Georgia on the National
Committee, he being convenient as well as
qualified. There was a peculiar fitness in
his selection as well from his high qualifi
cations as from the fact that when Gen.
Special Correspondence of the Herald.
Caktersville, Ga., Jan. 31.
Diar Herald: I find the Superior Court
is in session here. Judge McCutchen pre
siding. The Grand Jury last week in their
presentments complimented Judge Mc
Cutchen in unusually high terms. In
view of the fact of the well known matter
with the Grand Jury last year, when he
conceived it to be his duty to have some
recommendations stricken from the pre
sentments as out of the jurisdiction of that
body, and in view of the discussion that
ensued, the Judge thought that any seem
ing allusion to that matter in his favor
would be best omitted, and so with a
commendable delicacy and moderation he
said that he would prefer the Grand Jun
to strike out the complimentary portion of
the presentments, while he thanked the
body kindly for their good words, and ap
preciated deeply the spirit that prompted
them.
This considerate action on Judge Mc-
Cutchens part has been highly com
mended.
A NOTED CASE.
The noted case of the Key. Mr. Pearce
has hnally.received itsquietus at this term
of tlie Court. I will not recall its painful
details. The charge that a minister of
high standing was guilty of criminal con
duct and stood indicted before the courts
of the eouutry for such offense was a grave
one reaching deeply into the moral sensi
bilities of the public. Opinion was divided
Without any partisanship, and in the
cause of public morality, all will be pleased
t > know that the matter has been finally
tismissed from the courts. Mr. Pearce,
by his counsel, made a demand for trial
at two successive terms of the Court, and
tlie prosecution not pressing the matter,
under the statute, tlie case goes out of the
law forever. I give you the fact without
comment.
CARTERSVILLE.
I find commercial depression here, as
elsewhere, and complaint of tight times;
but still no failures and no real distress.
The country around Cartersville is very tine.
It is as good a grain and grass section as
there is in the South. The climate is very-
healthy and the water pure and cool.
I know of no part of North Georgia that
has better advantages than this. 1 should
think that Cartersville ought to he an ex
cellent resort, both summer and winter.
There is a bran new, commodious, hand
some hotel—tlie Ricks House—one of the
finest provincial hotels in the State. It
was built about a year ago by a Mr. W. W.
Ricks at a cost of fifteen or twenty thou
sand dollars. It is an imposing building,
with thirty-three rooms, well furnished
and kept by Mr. Ricks. Board is cheap,
the climate bracing and healthful, the sur
rounding country attractive and fertile,
and a society cultured and intelligent. I
look for a solid future for Cartersville.
THE CONVENTION.
I have been making enquiry as to how
the people feel about a Convention. I
find they care very little about it, and the
majority seem against it. There is thor
ough indifference on the subject. Occa
sionally one strikes up with an advocate
for a Convention, but his advocacy is not
by any means ardent.
INDEPENDENCY.
But I do find a marked feeling of loose
allegiance to party, and a decided disposi
tion to political independency. The dis
trust of political conventions is very
strong. It will require the very wisest
action on the part of tlie Democracy in t he
gubernatorial nomination to avoid a split
of the party. I do not exaggerate the dan
ger. It is going to take the best kind of
management to avoid independent action
to a large extent.
I sliail, in future letters, discuss this
question more fully, and go more into de
tail about the dangers and tlie way of
avoiding them.
I find a growing disposition on the
part of this section to claim the next Gov
ernor. A leading public man talking to
me to-day, vehemently dwelt upon the
fact that in the whole range of office ap
pointment, running from Supreme Court
down through heads of departments. Cabi
net offices, and including Executive anil
United States Senate, there was not a
single official representing North Georgia.
He spoke with some feeling about the
matter.

Cheap Silver.—A California paper esti
mates that the two great mines of the Pa
cific slope, the Consolidated Virginia and
California can bp made to yield $6,000,(XX)
of gold and silver a month, and all other
mines on that coast an equal amount—
makinga total of $141,000,000 a year ; and
in view of this abundance of gold and sil

before silver must be regarded as a base
metal and discarded from the monetary
system. In some parts of the world it is
already a drug; Germany is discarding it,
and in San Francisco it is received with
manifest reluctance. The San Francisco
banks will receive five dollars’ worth of
silver with each gold deposit from their
customers, but they do not like it, and at
tempt to discourage its use.
But while this is the case in California,
we have a very different staie of things
here. Silver is not the worst money we
have; there is a baser money still that
keeps it out of circulation, and we have
to get rid of this cheap paper money be
fore we can ever think ot getting rid of
silver. The late Congress passed an act to
substitute si’ver coins for the $47,000,000
fractional currency now in circula
tion, and the treasury has been buy
ing it and coining silver ever since as
a preparation for the task. But Secretary
Bristow told us, in his late report, that it
is useless to talk about paying out this
coin for fractional currency as long as the
former is at n premium; the silver would be
hoarded, and there would be no small cur
rency circulating at all.

more manure than the stock of the North.
4. That a crop of wheat North destroys j
more than 12 times as much nitrogen as a I
crop of cotton South, and 6J times as much
potash and 20 times as much phosphoric
acid.
The actual amouut of these principles
carried off by these crops is as follows:
1,500 pounds of seed cotton (one bale)
will carry off of
Phosphoric acid 12} pounds.
Potash 15 J “
Nitrogen - 33 “
2.000 pounds of wheat grain and straw,
equal quantities, will carry off of
Phosphoric acid 12 pounds.
Potash 12 “
Nitrogen 23} “
This is equal to sixteen bushels per acre.
The average production of Western New
Y’ork is now said to be 12} bushels. The
truth is, Mr. Newman has misconceived
the whole idea of soil exhaustion in sup
posing that the amount of those substances
taken from the soil is the prime cause of
exhaustion. Take nitrogen, for instauee ;
ft cannot be exhausted from a soil. Kro-
ker found in a barren sand enough for
1,000 crops. There is enough of phos
phoric acid in American soils six inches
deep for 500 crops (according to the aver
age of over 100 analyses); and enough
potash for 2,600 crops.
The exhaustion of a soil depends upon
physical as well as chemical depreciation,
and in cotton culture the destruction of
organic matter, in our hot climate, serious
ly affects both. Every sprig of grass killed
during our long hot summers destroys
S' >me available nitrogen, while at the North
the wheat and clover crops are husband
ing all the time this invaluable principle.
Even their snows help to retain it, and fer
tilize the wheat while covered with it.
While there is plenty of phosphoric acid
in our soils, it is not in available forms.
By a wise provision of nature, this princi
ple is too precious to be subject to easv so
lution. The constant tendency is to form
n-oluble compounds, and when it unites
wit': iron or alumina, it is locked up until
a more powerful acid meets and abstracts
Hence science lias come to the aid of
art, in preparing this principle in an avail
able form as plant food.
But if Mr. Newman’s propositions are
true, science is a sham, and agricultural
hemistry a cheat. The millions expended
in the manufacture of phosphates and am
monia, in this country and in Europe, at
least as far as Southern production is con
cerned, is money wasted. There is no Soil
exhaustion in the South. The mule can
lo the work and furnish the manure, with
the cotton seed he makes, to fertilize all
the land he can cultivate, be it twenty or
be it forty acres, which was Mr. Dickson's
old rule. Even this would be expletive on
all level lands if the fir.-t proposition be
true. In fact there would be no use for
agricultural colleges, agricultural bureaus,
or geological surveys, so far as they are
promotive of agricultural science. They
should all he abolished, as the great end
they propose to achieve has bevn com
passed in these propositions.

His Kopiy to a t'ard of HIsXolleague on
the Subject of a Convention.
Editor of the Herald :
In the Constitution of yesterday there
appeared a speech of my colleague, Mr.
J. M. Potts, on the subject of a Conven
tion, which he states he would have de
livered in the House of Representatives
(lending the late discussion, but not hav
ing had an opportunity to speak his senti
ments. So far as his own individual favor
of calling a Constitutional Convention is
concerned, I have nothing to say, hut he
assumes to express the feelings ot the peo
ple of Jackson county on the subject, and
on this point I take issue with him. He
states “that the Convention was made an
issue when I was elected. My principles
were published in the papers and hand
bills scattered over the county. I was
square out in favor ot a Constitutional
Convention, and was elected on that issue
by a handsome majority. I stand on this
floor to-day, backed by eleven hundred
and one voters, who are saying to you now
that they are in favor of a Convention,
and palsied be my right arm and silent mv
tongue if I fail to defend these rights.” I
hope the honorable gentleman’s right arm
may not be palsied, nor his tongue fail
him for thus misrepresenting the views
of his constituents, and I state with
perfect confidence in the truth of
my statement, that the people of
Jackson county are not in favor of call
ing a Convention at tlie present time
Like all true Georgians they are in favor of
a change in our organic law, w hen the sea
sonable time arrives for such a change,
hut in the present unsettled condition of
the politics ot the country, they are too
patriotic to jeopardize the welfare, aye, the
liberties of their fellow countrymen, mere
ly in furtherance of a sentiment. My peo
ple do not feel any pressing necessity for
a comention, but think it the essence of
good policy and statesmanship to post
pone the whole matter until after this
year. Indeed, speaking for them, I deem
itjnnwise that the subject should have been
agitated at ail this year. But I do not de
sire to discuss the question, only to place
my people right before the country.
I had the honor of being elected at the
same time with ray worthy colleague, and
no such issue of “Constitutional Conven
tion” was made. If such an issue had
been made, neither he nor myself could
have been elected, favoring the conven
tion at present. As for the statement thal
he is the mouthpiece of eleven hundred
and one men who voted for him, I
personally know to be incorrect, since
I, myself voted and labored for
his election, but never heard of
such an issue before. It is news to at least
one of the men who supported him, and
doubtless will be to the eleven hundred.
1 will state, in justice to my colleague, that
he did announce liimselt in favor of re
moving the Capital back to Milledgeville,
hut this was not made an issue in tne elec
tion. In conclusion, I desire to state that
I voted against the present Constitution,
and for the pure and gallantsoldier-states-
man, John B. Gordon, for Governor, but
do not consider my vote then as at all in
consistent with my opposition to a Con
vention now. Green K. Duke,

tured the Height ni Garatemensi, which commands
the town of Guatarsa. The Carlists fled almost
without firing a shot. It would be difficult to over
estimate the importance of the movement,
it completely alters the condition ol
Gutpuzzo-m campaign, renders necessary tlie aban
donment of the Carlist’s positions from which they
bombarded San Sebastian, and opens an easy route
whereby Morianes may advance into Biscay,
strengthening Durango and other Carlist centres,
and a junction with Gen. Lowas’ force ;now ad-
vancing irom the directioo of Bilboa.

The Times’ Berlin special says St. Petersburg pa

A special dispatch from Berlin |to the Standard

thought that this tends to ooufirm the

for the establishment of modus Vivendi between

St. Louis, Febiuary 1.—Upon the opening of the
United States Circuit Court, the attorney* for the
Western Union Telegraph Company appeared with
a motion to locate a writ of subphuma duces tecum
from the Government upon William Oiton, Presi
dent of the company, requiring him to produce all
telegrams which passed between Gen. Orville and
Babcock at Long Branch and John
McDouald, Jno. A. Joyce or Mrs. Joyce at
tit. Louis, or at Ripon, Wis., over various signatures.
During several mouths of last year the Telegraph
Co set up an answer that the demand was too gen
eral aud would require au immense amouut o/

claimed, hut it was asked that dates and descrip
tions of messages be given, wi»h particularly the

6t. Loris. February 1.—Babcock with his wit

Ikmanapolts, Feb. 1.—In replying to the prison
er who plead wounds in extenuation and for mod
ification of sentence, and faithful service in the
army, etc., Judge Gresham admitted the uuplea»>
antness of the duty, but could not allow sympathy
to make him forget the crime they had committed.
He knew there was a decided contrast between the
officer* of the Government and the distillers. The
former are trusted nervautsin the pay of the United
State*, while the latter are not trusted, but are
watched by the Government officials ; therefore,
the former ought to have increased punishment.
He then announced that those officers who had
betrayed their trust should have two years in either
of the penitentiaries they might prefer, aud pay a
fine of $',010each.
Then followed the caae of Jack Hill, deputy rev
enue collector Hill protest*! his innocence before
God and the world. The judge, in sentencing him
to three yean in the penitentiary and $1,000 fine*
remarked, that his cnmi was one of the deepest
dye, because of his high position in the Govern
ment service.
In passing the sentence of those who bad been
laborers about the distillery, the Judge remarked;
The difference la great between their crime and
that ol the Government officers, and gave them
three months in the Gibson county jail and $M$,
with the exception of Thomas Robb, distiller, who
he gave one year in jail.

Tlie bill to give the American Register to the Ha-

during the war, to save her-elf from capture, for
which there was some disposition to pun sb her.
During the discussion Mr. Wood said he was not
specially opposed to the bill, but his remarks were
intended to be general in their application.
As to ship yards of this country being silent, that
fact was attributable to thejjentletnan’s (K&sson’s)
political friends, who imposed such a protective
tariff on everything entering into the construction
f vessels, that it was impossible to build vessels in
this country and run them in competition with the
cheaply built vessels of other countries He (Wood)
was au advocate of free ships, and had been always
in favor of free trade, believing that American in
dustry, American enterprise American capital, and
American progressivencss, will enable this country
to compete with all other countries.
The House took up as the special order the pro-
pos *d amendment to the Constitution, reported
from the Judiciary Committee, that no person who
ha* held, or may hereafter hold, the office of Presi

To this proposition Frye of Maine, a member of
the Judiciary Committee, offered the following as a
substitute: ‘'From and after the fourth day of
March, in the year 1535, the term of office of Presi
dent aud Vice-President of the United States shall
be six years, and any person havi g been elected to
and held the office of President, or who for two

John Dawson, one of the victims of the
Charlestown, (West Virginia) mob, was a native of
Albemarle county, Va., and only nineteen years of
age. He was most respectably eon nee led, being a
grand-nephew of the venerable Judge James Gar
land, of Lynchburg. His widowed mother now re
sides in Alb unarle. It Is stated Dawson was a very
wild, unmanageable youth, wha ran away from
home some four years ago. and had not been heard
from for some time. He and his companion, Estept
were drinking very heartily on the occasion of the
murder of Lee, which occurred on Christmaa day.
They became involved in a difficulty with another
party, whom they follow d from Charleston, and,
meeting Lee, killed him, only to find afterwards
that they had mur Scred the wrong man.
From information received from the
Eastern Shore, we learn that the body of a young
woman, the daughter of a Captaiu Scott, was found
in tho woods near Onancock, Accomac county. Va.,
last *uuday. The head and skull were frightfully
mangled, rendering the features unrecognisable,
and the body showed evidences of outrage. The
whole community had been intensely excited by
the fiendish outrage and murder. Three negroes
have been arrested, but their guilt had not been
established when our informant left the Eastern
Shore yesterday, or else they would have met at tlie
hands of the citizens of the neighborhood the venge
ance the crime deserved. They are held for further
examination.—Norfolk Virginian, Jan. 27.
Louisville puts in a seductive plea to
have the Democratic National Convention held
there. The Courier-Journal Is eloquent on the sub
ject. It thinks 8t. Louis Is out of the question, be
cause there is not a hotter place in the world or out
of it than 8t. Louis In July. As for Louisville, the
editor paints its charms thus glowingly: “We have
blooming parterres, wide boulevards, and spacious
halls. Our hotel accommodations can hardly be
surpeaed. Our climate is free from the pestilential
poisons of the South, au i ii never United with
those rickenlug odors which make travellers shun
the crowded streets of 8t. Louis iu summer. We
havespedoua fotrka and shady drives, along which
the peittioal enthusiast may cool his feverish brain
after the conflict and agony of the dav ie over.
That ought to settle the question.
