MACON, DECEMBER 12, 1871.
The t'neonstitntioiially Xegotlutmi
Iloutfs.
Wo print the bill in relation to these Bonds
in this edition of tho Telegraph. In our jadg-
mont it meets the ease and lays ont a pro
gramme which the Legislature is bound under
their oaths to follow. One of the negotiators
of this class of bonds, made complaint of the
injastice of this measure some days ago in the
Atlanta papers, but in the very course of his
complaint he was obliged to admit the dnty of
the Legislature to protect the people from ille
gal debts. He talked about “repudiation!” but
bow can there be repudiation when there is no
assumpsit ? If (he Constitution had prohibited
the Legislature from contracting any bonded
liability whatever, would any man pretend that
a refusal to pay such bonds was repudiation ?
But is the case changed at all wheu the Consti
tution is clearly violated in iLo issuance or ne
gotiation of such bonds ? In either cose the
Constitution and bis oath to support it leaves
Ike conscientious legislator no latitude to listen
to sentimental or scare crow talk about “repu
diation. " Ho cannot bind the people on con
ditions whereunder they have expressly notified
him beforehandin tbe fundamental law that they
would rot be bound. If be attempts to do it,
it is an act of usurpation and plunder.
Tho Prince or Wales,
By accounts received yesterday morning, was
cither dying or dead. The report of his death
was current in London, but its authenticity was
challenged. It appears probable, from the dis
patches, that his case hod at least assumed
hopeless aspect. These reports created inv
msn.se excitement in London, and brought bnsi
nass transactions to a halt. To comprehend the
cause cf public uneasiness, we have only to re-
member that, in event of the Prince’s death,
the lineal successor to the British throne is his
oldest son, now an infant of seven or eight
years of age; and, as Queen Victoria appoarsto
bo in failing health, not improbably a regency
of twelve or thirteen years would become ne
cessary.
A regency is proverbially a political cripple.
It cannot claim the strong support of personal
attachment and allegiance. It has all the dif-
ferenco of personal attention and anthorily,
and management under power of attorney, and
this change will occur at a time when popular
dissatisfaction and the spirit of revolution are
becoming everyday more rampant and un
manageable, and are finding leaders even among
tho British aristocracy. Under these C’.rcnm
stances, the death of the Prince of Wales,
although at tho very best a dull and lazy bon
tivant, is considered an event seriously weak
ening tbe British monarchy, at a time likely to
call tbe Iondest for a strong, active and popular
administration governing in its own right
Our neighbor, tho Macon Messenger, a few
days ago, spoke of tho “double distilled stupid
ity" of the North Carolina Legislature, for send
ing Governor Vance to the U. S. Senate, who
was opposed to secession, battled manfully in
the field and in furnishing clothing to suffering
soldiers, not only North Carolinians bnt to other
Southerners. Too rightfully end nobly proud
to ask any favors from tyrants and usurpers, he
and tho Legislature preferred that his great
State should remain forever unrepresented,
rather than not stand the peer of any of her
Bisters.
If Norwood should not be admitted, and
Blodgett should, where would the difference be
tween tho “double distilled stupidity” of the
North Carolina and Georgia Legislature? If
Abbott is not a bettor man than Blodgett, we
confe99 that wo are ignorant of the dark ways
and vain tricks of rascals.
The above appears in the Columbus San, of
Friday, as a comment upon the paragraph from
the Washington Republican which wo pnblished
a day or two since, and which stated that Blod
gett would be seated as Senator from Georgia
instead of Mr. Norwood.
We fail to see our neighbor’s point. The
cases of Mr. Norwood and Governor Vance are
bo entirely dissimilar that we cannot understand
bow any comparison can bo instituted between
them. The former is unquestionably eligible
to the office ho seeks under the Constitution of
United States as at present in force, while the
latter is not. It seems to us that this simple
statement of facts ought to settle tho question
of comparison. Mr. Norwood’s rejection would
bo an act of pure partisan tyranny, without a
shadow of excuse. In rejecting Governor
Vance, however, tho Radicals of tho Senate
justify themselves by referszes to a constitu
tion?! provision which, however odious and ille
gal it may be, and wo think is, is still tho law
of tho land, practically, and daily recognized by
thoso who denounce and protest against it.
Wo still stick to it thatit was “double distilled
stupidity” to elect Governor Vance. Tho men
who did it knew, or onght to have known,
ho would not ba allowed to represent his and
their constituents, and it was their duty as ser
vants of the people to have chosen some ono
who could Lave gone to Washington, taken his
seat, and been ready to serve them. All this
mock beroio talk of “remaining forever unrepre
sented,” eta, Is out of place in tho face of such
stern realities 03 tho people of tho South have
to confront every day. If men want to “remain
forever unrepresented,” why tho deuce should
they go through the farco and expense of doing
that which only leaves them where they were
before? It is child’s play—ntterly nnwortby
practical, sensible men, and wo hope to see no
more of it.
Let Governor Vanco return his credentials,
and let the Legislature elect somebody who can
go to Washington and fight tho carpet-bagger
Abbott on something like equal terms.
The Bndicals asd tiro Gubernatorial
Eleciiop.
The so called Republican party is in the pairs
of incubation upon this special Gubernatorial
election. At first, the common idea was to
stiffen their backs upon the absurd position of
Acting Governor Conley, and, refusing to go
into the election, stake their fortnnes on the
biyonri policy and the interference of the
Grant administration, to set aside the election
and maintain Conley in the Executive Chair in
spite of the special oleotion. Bat the more they
reflected on the law and the facts in tbe case,
the more doubtful did tbi3 policy appear; and
moreover, it is understood that advices from
Washington by no means favor tbe iflea that the
administration will interfere to set aside tbe
Constitution of tbe State in order to maintain
the Cooley usurpation. On the contrary, some
thing more than rnmor says that a consultation
with one of the Washington oracles brought a
response neither nocertain nor complimentary;
telling them “not to make damn fools of them
selves by tbe groundless anticipation that Grant
would interfere to defeat tbe right of the peo
ple to eleot their own Governor.” It would do
no such thing; and what they ought to do, at
once, was to put up a candidate and make the
best fight they could, no matter what might be
the issue. If they stood out and refused to
nominate, (ho Democrats would not only vote
their own men bnt a good many of tbe “colored
Republicans” beside; and when the latter once
got into the way of voting with the Democrats
it would be hard to get them out of it. The
time had come when tbe Georgia Republicans
must either fight their own battles or give up
the gun. Congressional and Erecntive inter
ference to keep them atop in defiance of the
ballot, was getting too dangerous and must be
ibatdoned.
Inspired by these outgivings and admoni
tions the leading Radicals of the State have
been active, within the last few days, in get
ting up a ticket. Yesterday it was confidently
asserted that they had agreed upon Benjamin

Tire Lee Connfy Agricultural Address
By Dr. J. P. Stevens, which is concluded in
this edition, will aapear in full in the Mam
moth Weekly Telegraph next Thursday, and
it richly merits a very wide dissemmiaation
among the people. It treats alike cf scientific
and practical farming, and is in the highest de
gree judicious and timely-in all its suggestions.
If the Lee County Agricultural Sooiety had done
nothing more than put one such enlightened
and well-considered paper before tho people,
they would still have done much for the cause
of Georgia Agriculture.
We trust this speech will not be left to tho
oblivion which too commonly follows a mere
newspaper publication. We can give it circu
lation and readers by thousands; but it ought
to be preserved for reference, study and in!re
duction into the practical operations of tho
farm; and there c=.n be no more important or
useful function performed by our agricultural
associations, State acd county, than the gather-
inguf such thoughtful and matured treatises in
shape to add to the permanent agricultural
literature of the State.
Dr. Stevens, in the conclusion of his address,
very forcibly defends the economy of inde
pendent fanning and demonstrates that any
other system must necessarily result in a finan
cial failure* Bat he fears the effect of low
priced Western supplies combined with tho
temporary rise in cotton resulting from half
crops.
The lessons of tho year, lightly considered,
more urgently than ever before favor the pro
duction of all farm supplies at home and reduc
ing cash outlays to the lowest point. Let us
see: from forty to fifty per cent, deficit in the
crop has raised prices about thirty per cent,
and the planters are conceded to be poorer on
an average than they were last year. They have
been at last reduced to the practice of a stinted
and compulsory economy, which is prostrating
the trade of the towns and cities seriously and
universally.
But this ts not the worst of it The extreme
reluctance with which cotton rises and the grav
ity of the receipts in the face of such extraor
dinarily unfavorable year for cotton-growing,
are both facts full of warning to the cotton
grower. With a yield equal to the orop of 1870,
it is clear cotton would have gone far below a
remunerating price and not impossibly have
sunk to nine or ten cents. On the other hand,
the amount of cotton produced against every
favorable condition, warns ns to enlarge our
views of the productive capacity of the South
ern States. When a good season comes again,
let us look out for an approach to a crop of five
million bales and a correspcnding depression
of prices. It will not do for cotton producers
hereafter, to fix their anticipations above eleven
or twelve cents and it would be safer to be
looking even lower. Under these circumstances,
to out off every cent possible in the cash ex
penses of farming is the first dictate of wis
dom and prudence—in fact it is the only path
of escape from bankruptcy.
Savannah shipped 8,533 bales of cotton to

DrsABTRous Fire.—On Monday night, the
residence of Mr. George Wright, in Screven
county, near tbe old Hnnter Mills, was des
troyed by fire. Tho family—consisting of three
adolts and six children, from two to fifteen
years of age—were at supper when the flames
were discovered in the upper story, and in less
•than thirty minutes, the dwelling, smoke-house,
kitchen, fences, and in fact everything within
an area of two hundred yards, were enveloped
by the fire and totally destroyed. The alarm
was so sudden and the spread of the flames so
rapid that nothing at all was saved from the
conflagration. Farniture, beds, provisions—
all were consumed—together with about four
bales of unpacked cotton in one of the upper
rooms of the house. Mr. Wrighi was just re
covering from the disastrous effect of Sher
man’s raid, and his home had been resurrected
from the ashes of that direfal time. Tbe
dwelling was a large, new two-srory building,
containing eight rooms. Mr Wright and bis

of yesterday:
After caueussing for threo days and two nights
the Republicans have come to the conclusion
not to have any candidate for Governor, and to
let the election go by default. As we stated in
our is3ne of Thursday morning, the leading
members of the party were divided in their
counsels on Wednesday—some siding with Con
ley, and determining not to recognize the elec
tion—others believing a nomination should be
made and the election vigorously tested. Wheth
er they have all finally sided with Conley or
not, we do not know. What took place in their
counsels we do not know—they are not com
municative. We are only authorized to say that
will place no candidate in the field.
At one time it was believed Col. James At
kins would be brought out by them, and at one
time he really was nominated ; bnt this nomin
ation was reconsidered at a subsequent consul
tation, and the nomination withdrawn.
We hoped they would make the raee. We

But whether they take part in the election or
not, let the Democrats of Georgia turn ont in

election. Let the people reply in tones that
will convince even the most skeptical among
these croakers. Let them lay aside all other
business on next Tnosday week, the 19th day of
this month of December, and go to tbe polls in
a body. Our candidate deserves, and the orisis

not be there to oppose you. If yon fail to
vote, they will point to tbe result and claim that
they were right, and that yon !did sot want an

away from the polls—that you did not desire a
change, and a light vote will be taken as evi

Land in Upson connty was sold last Tuesday
at stiff prices—the times considered. The
Thomaston Herald says a “tract known as the
‘Jones place,’ situated on Oak Ghunkney creek,
containing fonr hundred acres, more or less,
sold for five thousand dollars. The ‘Andrews
place,’ of about ninety-eight aores, sold for
eighteen hundred and thirty dollars. The ‘Tay
lor place,’ below Hootenville, brought one
thousand four hundred and ferty dollars. Tho
‘Worthy place,’ of five hundred and thirtyacres,
more or less, was exchanged for four thousand
dollars.”
We hope the Atlanta Era will get that item
about “Dr. Speer, of Pennsylvania, who is
stopping with bis daughter, Mrs. Regdon, on
Rawson street,” right, after awhile. So im
portant a matter should be definitely settled.
Tho Constitution of yesterday illustrates the
way high local freights work as follows:
An enterprising firm at Conyers have pur
chased teams and wagons and are hanling goods
to and from Atlanta cheaper than by railroad.
Most of the merchandise to Stone Mountain
and Decatnr is carried by wagon.
Goods are sent to Newnan, via Griffin cheaper
than to Newnan direct.
Goods for onr merchants here pass through
to Nashville and return back cheaper than if
slopped here originally.
Mr. A. M. Speights has retired from tho At

tho Hon. A. H. Stephens. He hints at going

Tlie Tribune on Grant’s Last “Job.*
Wo aro greatly gratified to find in the New
York Tribune, of Tuesday, the following plain
language concerning that gigantic “job” of
the government’s buying ail the telegraphic lines
of the country, recommended to Congress by
Grant in his last message. But if Grant is to
have his “rake” when the thing is legalized, we
fear brother Greeley is wasting his breath in
remonstrating. Tell us how much the present-
taker is to profit by it, and we can give a toler
ably accurate guess of its prospects for consum
mation. Says the Tribune:
Then as to “uniting the Telegraphic system
“of tho United States with the Postal system,”
can the President be unaware that this means
buying out the present stockholders in tele
graphs at treble the cost of constructing the
.existing lines, and thus enriching a small
Number at the expense of tbe great body of
their fellow-citizens ? He ougbtto know this ;
for wo have warned him of it personally, a
year ago, and then advised him that the
People would not stand it. Mr. President!

not; for there will be a revolting odor generated
by its consummation. Thirty millions are to
be taken out of the Treasury by it to pay for
property that never cost ten millions; and not I
one dollar of that thirty millions will ever come '
back again. Indeed, you tell U3 that the pro
posed system would “secure the further advan
tage of extending the telegraph through por
tions of the country where private enterprise
will not construct it, ” Not a doubt of it! Only
throw the co3t of extending and maintaining
the telegraph on those who don’t nse it, and
we can have poles and wires, offices and bat
teries, superintendents and operators, where
there is no business, and probably never will
be. But, until the post ofiije is made to pay
its own way, we insist that it shall let the tele
graph alone. Nor will Congress vote otherwise,
unless the memffers are plied with other than
legitimate inducements to go wrong.

increase of fever.
The situation of Franca is grave. The Or
leans Princes are pnshing things. Thiers as
sured the princes that their presence in the hall
would arouse animosities; that the moment is
inopportune, and the Bonapartisis, red repub
licans and legitimist journals would clamor that
the republic i3 menaced. The princes answered
that they would not act without farther consid
eration. Thiers showed extreme anxiety to de
ter the princes from taking seals. Tho com
mission upon the abrogation of the exile had an
emergency session. Should they abrogate the
exile, the princes will perhaps enter tho ball.
Thiers, under the circumstances, will probably
present to the Assembly a proposition for a de
fensive republican government. It is believed
tho Dnke D’Aumalo can carry a majority of the
Assembly.
Democratic State Convention.
Special to the Telegraph and Messenger.
Atlanta, Decembor 6.—Tho Democratic
Convention was called to order by Hon. Clifford
Anderson. Hon. L. T. Doyal was elected tem
porary president, and J. D. Waddell, L. Carring,
ton, M. A Hardin, T. G. Cabaniss, H. D. Ran
dall. D. R. Craig, temporary secretaries.
The following committee was appointed on
permanent organization: First .Congressional

Pierce; Sixth District—Garnett McMillan, W.
L. Mitchell; Seventh District—J. A. W. John
son, J. O. Fain; J. B. Camming, Chairman.
The majority recommended Julian Hartridge
for permanent President, and J. D. Waddell,
T - Carrington, M. A. Hardin, T. G. Cabaniss,
L D. Randall and D. It. Craig for permanent
secretaries. Also recommended that the vote
be by counties, each county having as many
votes as Representatives, and that a majority
nominate.
The minority, through Mr. McMillan, agreed
With tbe majority as to officers, but recom
mended two-thirds be required to nominate.
The majority report, after some discussion,
was adopted.
Hons. W. T. Wofford, John O. Nichols, Her
bert Fielder and James M. Smith were put in
nomination. Before proceeding through a half
dozen countios on tho first ballot all names but
the last were withdrawn, and James ^Milton
Smith was unanimously nominated by acclama
tion.
Hon. Herbert Fielder, in response to calls,
made an eloquent and patriotic speech, and the
uomineo was waited on by a committee and
appeared in the hall and accepted the nomina
tion in an able speech, amid great enthusiasm.

Clift to the Rescue!—This whiffling little
carpet-bagger, who was onco counted in as
Representative in Congress from the Savannah
District, has issued a flaming pronunciamento
to tho “Republicans of Georgia,” .which the
Savannah Advertiser prints iu fall. He writes
from Washington City and is full of fight, the
whisky there being very strong. We give some
extracts to show how heavily loaded Clift must
have been. Ho says:
“I never did, and do not now, believe in
shirking a fight with Demooracy under any pre
text however specious, circumstances however
discouraging.
“Instead of giving up the fight, let it be con
tinued, and give them no quarter, till the last
stronghold of the greatest foe of liberty and
equal rights in this oouutry shall bo carried,
and they ghall surrender to the cohorts of free
dom and tho civilization of the nineteenth cen
tury.
“If we would save our ‘Common School Sys
tem’ in Georgia, and preserve the liberties of
the people, we must fight it out with them, if
we all go to our graves before the cause is fin
ally triumphant. But triumphant it will be,
and that at no distant time, as sure as a merci
ful God exist.
“Th6 wrongs of our poor people call loudly
for redress, and the cry must be heeded aad
responded to by all true hearts.
“We mnst play no cowardly part in this fight
nor bow our neck to the Democratio yoke,
otherwise we are not worthy the blessings we
seek.
“Let then, all the leading Republicans now
in Atlanta, take counsel together, immediately,
and prevail on Governor Conley, Hon. J. 8.
Bigby, ex-Gov., James Johnson, or one of a half
dozen other pure and true Republicans of abil
ity and prominence, to allow the party to make
an effort to place them in the gubernatorial
chair.
“Let Governor Conley reconsider his deter
mination, and contest his right to his position
before the people, that mighty tribunal higher
than all courts.
‘Let us pay our poll taxes; rapidly organize
our party in evsry oounty, and poll every vote
we can; then, if we are ever so badly beaten,
we shall have at leaBt the satisfaction of meet
ing onr old enemy face to face, and doing battle
valiantly for the right.
