The Bond BUI.
Dunne the debate on the passage of this bill
over Conley's veto, our Senator, Hon. Tho* J.
Stantons, chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, made, as we learn, a very strong and
effective speech, which we regret was not re
ported at length in some one of the Atlanta
pspere. We find the following abstract of it in
the Cbroniele and Sentinel of Tuesday. It was
scat by the Atlanta correspondent of that paper:
Mr. Simmons, of the Finance Committee, said
Bat the members of that committee were so
Barful of committing error in what has been
Sported to the bouses of tho Legislature, that
Be most expert and respectable financial men
within reach of the committee had been con-
silted, and their most unqualified approbation
was passed npon what they had embodied in the
kill which was then in review before them and
*hich had fallen under the Executive veto. The
Message was a most remarkable document and
>a insult to the Legislature. It almost, in so
iany words, accused Senators and members of
i design to repudiate engagements of the State,
lad blacken tho fame of Georgians. The Sen-
Hot said the Finance Committee had before
them the Treasurer of the State, and he was
xdeed to declare before them what the debt of
the State was, and bis reply should never be
forgotten: “Neither I, nor any other man on
■ i-'-'. cun answer thut qnestion.'' Why is the
fconor of the State to be blasted by the disavowal
°t a rascally claim on it, or by the refusal to ao-
Jaowledge a demand that is utterly fraudulent?

derives its nitrogen in the Conti of ammonia,
chiefly from the soil and very little from, tha air.
Goto delights' in phosphoric r.uid, potash and at
fair proportion of silicate of potash, to impart
strength and durability to tha stalks. Cotton
consumes bnt a small quantity of silica, but de
lights to phosphoric acid, lime, potash, and a
modicum of iron. Root crops flourish admira
bly upon the phosphate of lime, ashes and
land plaster, with a moderate allowance of am
monia. By, therefore, becoming acquainted
with the quality of the food required by differ
ent plants, and observing their relative thrift
npon the same soil, we are enabled to ascertain
the special kind of fertilizer with which to sap-
ply to each, and the principles which should
govern ns. in the rotation of crops. A proper
rotation of corn, cotton, peas and small grain,
would greatly relieve our lands from the ex
hausting effects of the plan usually pursued in
this section of country, where resting and the
application of appropriate manures is impracti-
ble.
It was formerly maintained, that plants have
the faculty of excreting or throwing off into the
soil matters which are nnesential or detrimental
to their own growth, bnt which might be con
sumed as healthy food by other classes of
plants. More recent experiments, however,
show that this may be trno to a limited extent,
but to so insignificant a degree as to be of very
little practical utility. By observing proper ro
tation, however, according to the indications
enunciated above, land that is not thoronghly
worn ont may be materially benefited and main
tained for many years in a condition of fair
fertility, without the direct annual applioation
of manures. In the older countries of the East,
where the art of culture has reaohed its highest
degree of perfection, it is said that two succes
sive crops of a similar kind are seldom raised
npon the same soil. Hence by skillfnl culture
and judicious manuring the soil is made pro
gressive^ to improve from year to year, instead
of annually becoming more impoverished.
The recuperation of land by resting, where
the soil is naturally poor and devoid of much
vegetable matter, is of doubtful utility, when
we take into consideration the expense of keep
ing up the fencing aronnd such land; for the
amount of weeds and grass produced is so in
significant that wo would hardly be repaid for
th9 outlay in annual repairs. Wo should com
mence to rest snoh land before it begins to fail,
if we should hope to materially improve its con
dition. On the contrary, land that was origin
ally rich in vegetable mould, as well sb in min
eral deposits, even when greatly exhausted by
unremitting cultivation, very soon recovers a
good degree of fertility; for although exhausted
of its vegetable mould, the mineral treasures
that lie imbedded in its bosom and upon its sur
face enable it to aconmnlate a sufficient amount
of vegetable matter to restore the bnmns which
has been abstracted, and protect it from the
leaching effects of heavy rains, as well as from
intense solar-heat. Such lgnd naturally close
in ite texture, a'ml hnvu-jllbeomet hard and al
most impervious to water, by long continued
close and dean tillage, very soon becomes soft
and mellow, as well as enriohed in organic pro
ducts. To derive tho full benefit of this system,
it is necessary that cattle, and especially hogs,
should not be permitted to pasture upon such
land.
The foundation of the palace of King Cotton,

Ever since the great change in onr social, po
litical and pecuniary condition, we have been
striving to recuperate onr fallen, fortunes npon
the plan pursued by onr fathers when they had
absolute control of their laborers, and possessed
a soil comparatively in its virgin state. _ The
soaroity of money, the exorbitant rate of inter
est demanded for its use, and the continued im-
Doverished condition of the farming population,
proclaim in no doubtful language that the pres
ent system of management is wrong. Necessity
compels us to resuscitate our exhausted soil, or
we most be contented to become still more im
poverished. How we can most economically
and effectually accomplish this purpose is & mat
ter of vital importance, which should command
our earnest attention and most strenuons efforts.
The object of manuring land is to return to it
the potash, soda, lime, phosphorio acid, and ni
trogenous materials, of whioh it has been de
prived. This can be accomplished by turning
under green crops, and by the use of &Ttifioial
manures abounding in plant food. Flowing
under green crops is preferable to the use of
dry vegetation, because in the process of the
decay of vegetable matter it parts with valuable
gases. The sap, liko the blood to animals, im
parts to the plant all the elements necessary for
its nutrition and development. The seeds,
twigs and leaves contain a larger proportion of
nutritious elements than the bark and woody
fibre. While growing, the roots of plants de
scend below the surface into the subsoil, and
extract from it inorganio matter. This enters
into the stem, leaves and woody fibre, and the
latter, when plowed under while green, become
thoroughly incorporated in the surface soil, and
in the process of fermentation and deoay, the
resulting gases become diffused, form combina
tions with other substances already present, and
thus are retained and become a permanent source
of nutrition to any subsequent crop. In stiff,
tenaeious clay or lime land, the vegetable mat
ter makes the soil more friable, facilitates the
aooess of fresh air to the roots of plants, and in
time of protraoted wet seasons favors the transit
of excessive inundations from heavy rains. All
sandy lands are also greatly benefitted by this
prooess of manuring, becanse they so soon be
come exhausted of all vegetable matter. Turn
ing under green vegetable matter greatly econ
omizes and intensities the notion of highly con
centrated manures by causing the latter to part
with their fructifying properties more slowly
and gradually, thus feeding the plant during the
whole period of its growth and development,—
We should be careful to sow snoh seeds as will
produoe the largest amount of vegetable matter
in the shortest time, and which will be most read
ily produoed by the soil to be renovated. Thus
luoerne and mover would not be suitable for
sandy land, because they require a liberal allow
ance of potash, lime and phosphoric add, and
a dae proportion of the elementa of ammonia
for their growth and perfection. We would be
compelled to supply thaee ingredient! artificially
before wa coaid anoeeed in obtaining an amount
of vegetable matter to be made available. For
the thinner lands of this section, tbenseof rye
and peas would be far pref erable, both of whioh
crops can be sustained upon a comparatively
■mail quantity of nutritious food. Sow down a
wop of rye to the fall, and when twelve inches
high apply per sera 150 pounds of land planter,
then plow under with the rye a crop of pea*

the plant in decomposing alkaline salts and
mineral substances, and appropriating them to
its own nse when they would otherwise remain
as inert Bnbstanoes in the soil. Secondly, by a
gradual prooess of decomposition they feed the
plant with good, substantial, healthy nourish
ment from the germination of the seed to the
maturation of the plant, affording it. throngh
all its stages of growth the right kind of food at
the right lime, and in adequate quantities to
supply every demand; and this is not alh When
liberally applied they leave in the soil a perma
nent fund npon which the plant may draw for
several successive years.
On the contrary, commercial manures, where
they possess any fertilizing properties at all,
are so readily dissolved and highly stimulating,
the plant is pnshed forward to an abnomal de
velopment, an immense quantity of roots are
formed, with great avidity every portion of
food within their reach is appropriated, and
with every favoring circumstance of rain ex
actly at the right time, and close, careful til
lage, a good crop is sometimes the result. But
what do we usually see in alterations of ex
tremely wet and dry seasons? It may at first
present a lovely aspect, with its verdant, luxu
riant and shining foliage; in imagination we
already behold its pendant branohes laden with
the fleecy fibre, and congratulate ourselves with
the insignificant outlay whioh we have made
for such flattering prospects of golden returns.
Bnt let a drought overtake it and alas.' what a
change comes over the spirit of our dreams!
Its sources of nutrition cut off, a largo number
of its roots perish, it casts its fruit, the black
ness of darkness overshadows its once verdant
foliage, the plant shrivels to insignificance, and
yet the merchant's acceptances must be met,
cotton or no cotton. Commercial manures, as
ordinarily prepared, cannot be depended upon
in times of great alternations of extremely wet
and dry seasons. The results of their employ
ment are too uncertain. The planter cannot
ran the risk of the fluctuations in the seasons
and the price of cotton, and pay the enormous
prices that are demanded of him, unless he oan
have a satisfactory guarantee that he will not
be the only loser in adverse seasons, especially
when he can adduce ample evidence that the
crop has been faithfully and judiciously culti
vated. The vendors of those compounds will
adduce imposing figures upon paper, and an at
tractive footing npof tli9 balance sheet in favor
of their wares, but we appeal to your own ex
perience, and that of your neighbors, whether
or not yon have derived any material benefit
from their use ?
Our own experience, and that of all with
whom we have ever conversed upon the sub
ject, give an emphatic negative to their utility.
Some may have been more fortunate than our
selves. For there are many gentlemen en
gaged in tho manufacture of oommeroial man
ures, whoapuscientifio knowledge ahd’ integrity
of character cannot be questioned, and who
could not be induced to impose a fraud upon
the community, but onr faith rests upon experi
ence, and bitter experience it has been. Now
we are of the opinion that we oan prepare com
post manures superior to the oommeroialarticle,
and with muoh less expense. We have access
to mote or les3 of wood’s earth, and in some
portions of this county the supply is almost in-
exbaustable. In many places are to be found
the debris of fallen leaves, twigs, and branohes
of trees, which have been accumulating for
many years, and are in a state of almost com
plete disintegration. TJhis matter is of itself
nch in all the elements necessary for & valuable
manure; but by hauling it to onr stables and
mule lots, from time to time, and spreading
upon the different layers the acid phosphate of
lime and land plaster, we not only greatly facil
itate the disintegration and decomposition of the
fibrous matters, but the ammoniacal vapor that
usually escapes will be permanently fixed, and
the whole mass will not only be much more
readily transferred to the fields from its more
thorough disintegration, bnt its frnotifying
powers and durability will be greatly inoreased.
Again, by collecting the wood’s earth to pens of
convenient size, and spreading on it alternate
layers of comparatively cheap substances, snoh
as the nit. of soda, sulphate of ammonia and
superphosphate of lim* the wood’s earth having
been made previously wet with water poured
over it, we can make daring the year incalcu
lable quantities of manure till that will not only
act promptly the first, year as a fertilizer, bnt
by repetition for a few years we can permanent
ly enrich our lands.
The usual method of treating our cotton seed
before applying it to the field* is extravagant
and wastefnl. Filed up in pens as soon as
ginned, and exposed to the weather for months
before it is hamed out, the Iobs by its ferment
ation and decay, in. the esoape of valuable
gasses, ia estimated by many, to.be not less than
100 per cent. Usually, by a process of combus
tion, the valuable portion of the seed isbnrned,
and very little is left bnt the hull. Now, by
commencing with the ginning process,. and
spreading npon every layer of cotton seed, say.
eight inobes thick, a definite portion of the
soluble phosDhate of lime, the quantity of the
hitter being" dependent upon the quantity of
seed spread, and npon the topmost layer of. seed
applying * heavy top dressing of land plaster,
and then oovenng with boards to protect the
mass from sun and rain, the .volatile properties
of the seed will be retained; it. will be more
thoronghly rotted, and its value increased 200
or 300 per cent We should be oarefnl to apply
water oopionsly.to.eaoh layer of seed before
spreading the phosphate. Of all fertilizing in
gredients to the soil, phosphorio aeid ia most
largely consumed, end our soils require a sup
ply of this above all other element* The ma
nure compounded by this process is made rich
in the phosphate* and by its thorough disinte
gration can be more readily conveyed to the
field* end more easily distributed. The balk
end efficiency of this manure might be aug
mented by making alternate layers of cotton
seed and swamp luuok, or half deoayed woods’
earth and the scrapings of fence corners, the
acid phosphate of lime being applied to the
woods’ earth to lien of the simply soluble phos
phate.
The fluctuations in the price of ootton, the
soaroity of labor and the general impoverish
ment of our land* emphatically demand that
we curtail the area of our crop* requiring dose
tillage, and correspondingly Increase the pro
ductive capaoity of the soil. Experiments at
test the increased production of oorn and cot
ton fromone hundred to two hundred peroeot,
as well as .a material improvement in their
quality, by toe judicious and liberal application

the problem on paper by the most plausible
mathematical calculations, that it is cheaper to
make ootton and buy your provision* and,
taking d series of y^trS, these calculations will
most emphatically prove false. Yon witl find
that you have been following an ignis fatans
whioh has led you by its false and alluring light
into the quagmire of extreme distress, if not of
total bankruptcy. Look around among yoor
acquaintances and say who, during the last
year, weathered toe storm that engolphed so
many in tha maelstrom of bankrupioy. Is
it the man who had his oorn crib and smoke
house in the West, and bought fertilizers on
time, to make ootton that cost him 15 oent3 per
poind, and which he was compelled to sell at
10 cents per pound ? Is it not rather he who
in preparing for his crop made ample calcula
tions for an abundanoe of eom and small grain
with which to keep fat mules, and fat hogs, and
a good supply of the luxuries of the dairy, and
then planted as much cotton as he oonld safely
venture to thoronghly cultivate ? What satis
faction is there to the reputation of having
made 200, 500 or 1,000 bales of cotton At the
sacrifice of personal independence? Such a
system of planting ia but a game of chance as
uncertain in its results as the operations of the
professional gamester. It is pernicious in its
tendency, obtunding the moral sensibilities, and
often the legitimate offspring of avarice and
self-aggrandizement. It clogs the machinery
of progress in every department of eduoation,
social refinement and religion, and forges the
chains that keep ns bonnd at the feet of onr
oppressor* The present low price of meat and
bread, we fear, will tempt many to relax their
efforts laudably oommenoed for personal inde
pendence of the granaries of the West, and
oblivious of the past, retrace their steps whioh
once conducted them to the brink of ruin. Bnt
it is not in accordance with post experience
that excessive prodnotion of cotton in any single
year may surfeit the market, and reduce the
price below the point of remuneration? Even
shonld we be convinced that at present prices
it is cheaper to bay provisions and make cotton,
wbat guarantee have we of a continuation of
the present price of cotton or provisions.
Lat us therefore heed the admonitions of the
past, and pursue the only coarse that is marked
ont by an enlightened jadgment and practical
wisdom. With the return of personal independ
ence and wealth will onr material influence be
promoted. The results of the late war found
ns orippled in all onr national resource* Strip
ped of our appliances, in numberless instances,
for supplying the necessary comforts of life,
we were compelled to fill back npon the in
herent wisdom and energies which Nature has
endowed ns. Divested of all political rights,
onr social system in a state of anarchy, capital
dispelled as mist before the morning’s snn,
gloom and despondency overshadowing onr
people as a mighty pall, onr utter helplessness
invoked the contempt of onr enemies. Bat the
illimitable and varied natural resonrees of our
oountry have enabled ns in a measure to lift
up the burthen which has so long opposed
ns. Wealth has power which commands
obeyance from the bloated capitalists as well
a3 from the humble peasant. Nations are
composed of individuals, and when, as a
people, we become entirely self-dependent
and self-sustaining, then will onr influence
in the national councils be 'songht by those
whose pursuits as an agrioltaral people, are
similar to -onr own and whose interests will-
demand a repeal of those obnoxious laws which
discriminate in favor of the mechanical, to the
detriment of the agricultural interests. Let the
whole ootton growing section of country resolve
to be self-sustaining in meat and bread, and
cattail the production of ootton to a degree
commensurate with necessity for the attain
ment of this object; let us utilize onr internal
resources for the resuscitation of our exhausted
soil, develop our hidden mineral treasures,
bring into praotioal efficiency our unlimited
water power, bestow liberal domestic, as well as
governmental, patronage for the promotion of
our educational system; then will we once more
enter upon the high road to individual prosper
ity and wealth, as well as social refinement,
intellectual progress, and political independ
ence.
Tlsc Judiciary of Georgia.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
The articles of A. H. S. in the Sun show very
clearly that there are now two vacancies in the
Supreme Court, and that under the law it is the
duty of the General Assembly to elect proper
men to fill them. There is another serious
question to which the people are muoh inter
ested. It is the statns of the Judges of the Su
perior Courts of most of the circuits.
It is understood that all of them resigned last
winter after the passage of the law increasing
their compensation, for the purpose of receiving
under the new commission the larger salary. I
have learned that Judge Warner was the only
exception on either bench. He stood by his
bargain, and was content to do his duties for
the compensation promised when he received
his commission. It was understood that onr
very “liberal” Governor gave encouragement
to this course by receiving and acting upon
some of the resignations from their friends “at
Court.” Shamefal conduct this was on thejxkrt-
of all engaged in it, and toe last^one'orthem
ought to go as Bullock went- The faithfal and
honest Warner was the only one that remem
bered the people are poor and hated triekery.
Let him now wear the honors of a well tried
and trne servant.
The salaries were inoreased not for the pur
pose of pampering to the second, third, fourth
and fifth class of men who had “bowed the knee"
to Bullook and joined their fate with his. The
compensation was already much too large for
many of them, if their services rendered the
public are to be taken at their trae value, not
taking into tlie account toe personal injury sus
tained from pnblio odium by the Judges afore
said. It was apprehended that as those digni
taries, would not “dignify these offices” that
they might fall beneath the ambition of good
men in better day* The purpose was to save
the honor of toe office* and not to fatten the
three well paid men who have floated into them.
But they were invited to this new feast upon the
public purse—end they went. They took the peo
ple’s money without their eoneeat. These were
ill-gotten gain* let it be put to their charge.
It is tons that onr Treasury, has been emptied
and our losses are great—and tons it was “they
and each of them here connected themselves
with the calamities of the times ’—and I say the
people elaim relief against them.
Oan the people be relieved t
“When any offioe shell beoome vaeent by
death, rarigntaion or otherwise, the Governor
shall have power to ftU soeh vacancy unless
otherwise provided by law, and persons eo sp
linted shall continue in offioe nntil a sneacasor
s appointed agreeably to the mode pointed
ont by the Oonatitation cor by lew to pownanoe

tion 11, paragraph 4.sdt nuSv toaiiuUmml j
When them vacancies occurred by their re*
ignition did the Governor have the right to fill
the vacancies ? He did nnles* it was otherwise
provided by law. If there was any other pro
vision made by lakr then to existence, he did
not have thtertahi. it 1:; r;-haroa ui efcleah t ta J

adopted as the law, and so declared in the Con

would bring about a conflict? The answer f*
that it is not snoh a conflict as obtains by the
course adopted by the Governor, for he oom-
pletely ignored this law, and tho express pro
vision of the Constitution which potato ont the
course for filffug vacancies. Shall it be said
that the election by the people is not consistent
“with the mode pointed out by the Constitu
tion ot by law to parsttanoe thereof ?’’ The an
swer i* the mods pointed ont in the Code is the
only law we have'for filling such vacancies, and
it is-Constijntfonaf—Ist?" becanse there is no ex
press mode-pointed ent in toe Oonatitation for
filling vacancies; She only mode, as before sta
ted, is for filling those offices in the first iu-
■mWaL^M y. . j- *j " "
2. The Code was made tho law at the same
time that the Constitution was adopted, and by
thetome powMy-attd Urn provision* U Um Con
stitution and the -Code are to be construed both
together on this subject. They are pari mate
ria and most.both stand, if possible; Ibis was
the rule adopted by onr Supreme Court in the
Whito'otse, in which they held that negroes were
eligible .tti offi#e._ It was not beoauae the Con
stitution so provided, but only because the Code
provided,that citizens were eligible to office.
3. The words “or by law made in pursuance
thereof” does not annul this section of toe
Code, and was hot bo intended, for at the time this
Code .went into effect we had the same provision
in the Constitution of IStll that now exists, ex
cept that it required then the concurrence of
two-thirds, and now only a majority of the
Senate. We had then the same system and
regulations that now exist.
Shall it be stud that snoh was not tho true in
tention of tho convention that adopted tho
Constitution. That it i3 unreasonable to sup
pose that it was intended that a part of . our
judges should be appointed by. the Governor
and a portion should be elected by the people.
The answer is such was the fact under the Con
stitution of ISG1. The people had tried both
modes of making judges and it is not strange
that the people desired to preserve both meth
ods in the fundamental law. And if snoh
was their purpose it was a wise provision, for
when men, after accepting an office with a com
pensation fixed bylaw which can not be diminish
ed or inoreased during the term, resign for the
avowed purpose of getting a new commission
and thus get the benefit of anewlawincreasing
the salary, it is bnt right and proper that the
matter of their fidelity to engagements as well
as fitness for the place, should be referred to
the decision of tho tax payers. Sn let it be.

These figures indicate an increase in the oot

with the same date of 1870.
The market the past week has developed a
gradually improving tendency; prices have ad
vanced and confidence in the future has strength
ened. This upward movement finds its more
immediate cause in the late cold weather and
the decreased receipts, which latter are inter
preted as indicating a smaller yield than the
prevailing estimates of a few weeks back. We
think, however, aside from these facta there has
been a growing inclination to oonaider Ameri
can ootton not dear at present price* The
world’s consumption has increased so rapidly
and its wants are so large while the disposition to
nse largely the American staple has beoome so
general and the expense of going baok to the
poorer sorts is eo great, it is felt that onr sup
ply, even if it were to reach the larger figures
current, would be none too great notwithstand
ing a moderate advance in price for the supply
of spinners’ want* Holders therefore show no
anxiety to dispose of their stock while onr own
spinners appear to be taking hold more freely,
and there ia an inoreased movement on foreign
aooount. . ...j . . ;-.v .
A Gocoeb Caught.—We read the account
of how that scallawag, from Camden county,
(Hillyer) was caught gouging the treasury in
the matter of mileage,—in our yesterday’s
legislative report—with peculiar satisfaction.
He charged mileage for 1,000 miles from Da
rien, and when caught, pleaded ignoranoe of
the distance! Could anything be more charac
teristic of the species? But he was made to
disgorge—the first case of the kind even known
in Georgia op any other Southern State, aince
the grand thieves’ raid of reconstruction. It
was a small sum, bnt we like the precedent.
Perhaps, now, that, it has been established,
and the fact demonstrated that a developer can
be made to disgorge, eome of the big plunder
ers may be served toe same way. Anyway,
we aooept it as a hopeful angary.
