The New York Democracy.
The World of Friday prints a broad aide of
extracts from the rural Democratic press of the
State to show that tho Democracy of New York
WiU purge itself of tho frauds of the Tammany
leaders. Lot them do it without fear or doubt-
ing Let them “cry aloud and spare not.’’
Tammany, like tho FhiUisUne Delilah, has
shorn the Democratic Sampson of his locks and
made him the sport of the men of Dagon.
Thieving becomes the Medicals, and nobody
looks for anything better from them. They
don't understand any other use for a govern
ment than to make money out of it; and benco
for all those that can’t get thoir hands directly
into tho national strong box, there must lie pro
tective tariff bounties and fishing lionntios and
nil the other corrupt contrivances of class legis
lation. Bat n stealing Democracy is a mon-
ntrnm horrendum — a misbegotten creature,
which all men should curse. Wo thank God
that, thus far, the South baa never shown such
a thing as a den of Democratic thieves. They
may say what they wrill else, but they can't say
tho Southern Democracy took to stealing. The
North now and then produced a Democratic de
faulter, hut nevertheless tho general and proud
record of tho party has been faithful, honest
and economical administration. The puliUe
records ao far ahow that the Democracy as n
party bavo beon honest. Let them maintain the
character by washing Ibeir bonds of all knavery
wherever they find it.

Tho community was startled by the announce
ment in onr Sunday morning’s iasne of tho
death of tbia dialiagninhcd gentleman. lie
died suddenly at tho Wesleyan Female College,
of wbioh bo waa tho honored President, on Sat- ono ‘
urday night at 11} o'clock. The immediate
oanae of his death was doubllesi tho paralysis
of some vita] organ, either tho heart or longs.
Ho had been unwell during the week, bnt was
diligently prosecuting bis duties connected with
tho opening of a new college year, and had no
serious apprehensions of fatal diseaao. The
evonlng of his death waa spent in singing with
the Mnlborry Street Church choir, an exercise
in which hia aonl always fonnd the highest
pleasure. The latter part of the evening was
ooonpiod in social conversation with friends,
and he seemed unusually cheerful and buoyant.
Ho retired to bis bed room at 101 o'clock,
when bia wife found him suffering with andden
pain in the chest. He immediately took Rome
alight remedy, bnt finding no relief, physicians
were called, who arrived only in time to pro
nounce him dead.
Tbns suddenly has passed away one of the
nobleat and purest of earth's children. The
erudite and aooompltahod scholar, the cultivated
gentleman, tho tender hnsband and father, the
finished and anooeaafnl teacher, the guilders
and atnoora Christian—he filled a large place in
the publio heart and nover forfeited the public
confidence.
A fall sketch of bis life and character will be
furnished by another pen.

C.rent Expectations- Will They
Krullzctl ?
Editors Constitution: Aa the Genaral As
sembly, which is shortly to convene, is largely
Democratic, the country fully expect that the
first step taken toward reform, and the relief of
onr oppressed people, will lie the reduction of
the per diem of the General Assembly. If this
is not done, confidence will be lost, and onr
hopea for tho future greatly chilled.
The Fcoplr.
We assure our correspondent that we have no
ilonbt whatever that the next General Assembly
will reduce the prerent extravagant per diem of
its members.—Constitution, 1st.
If they do not, they'll hear mnsio from their
constituent* that most people don't mneh enjoy.
And if they don’t, In addition, ent down all
other extravagant salaries that they can reach,
and make retrenchment their motto, they may
make np their minds to stay at home after one
l«rm. The people demand, and will insist upon
the moat rigid economy in all expenditure*,
consistent with competent service and the dig
nity of the Slate. But that $9 per diem gongs
must be repudiated, anyhow.

To Remedy Inequality In Represent
ation.
Certain readers in a neighboring county send
na a bill which waa introduced into the last Leg
islature, but not pressed to vote, providing that
each oounty shall pay it* own representative*
in the General Aaumbly, and may determine
beforehand, by vote, whether or not they will
be represented in that body. The bill and an
argument to sustain it will be fonnd in another
part of this edition, and we call the attention
of the reader to them. The object U to pre
vent the injnstioe of exacting from populous
oonnties the eost of representing the others.
Now, we think there ia far greater injnstioe
in thia unequal representation than that in
volved in the mere eoet of per diem and mile
age. Representation, like taxation, ought to
bo equal, and it ia a much more mischievous
piece of injnstioe that in some oonnties it should
require 2,000 votes to make n representative in
the Legislature, and in others only two or three
hundred. This gives the non-populona oountiea
not only more money than they pay in tax aa a
compensation for their attendance on the Legis
lature—but far worse, it gives them a tremen
dously disproportionate and unequal power in
governing the State. In the non-populona
oountiea, although they may be unable to pay
their Legislator, every man oonnta in influence
upon the entire polities of the State aa much as
eight or ten men in the populous counties. Take
for illnatration the following exhibit from the
last Comptroller's report: Appling has C78
polls; Bryan, 516; Charlton, 289; Coffee, 420;
Colquit, 207; Dade, 388; Eebola, 308; 'Glaaa-
oock, 401; Irwin, 279; Pierce, 359; Telfair,
373; Towns, 367; Ware, 322; Wayne, 337; Wil-
eox, 325—end all send fifteen representatives to
5,567 polls. Now, take Chatham, with 4,585
polls; Richmond, 3,118; Fulton, 2,429; Bibb,
1,988; Houston, 3,336—these also send, in all,
fifteen representatives to 15,554 polls. In the
one ease we have a representative to every 371
polls, and in tho other a representative to 6very
1,036 polls.
Let ini Me how it is a* to voter* ? In the last
general election reported by the oomptrcller
the fifteen thousand oonnties first named, polled
4762 votes and elected fifteen representatives,
or ono representative to every 318 voters. The
five counties named polled 29,015 votes and
elected fifteen representatives, or one represent
tative to every 1934 votes. Thus we aee that a
voter in the one class of counties was worth six
times ss much as a voter in tho others—that is
to say, one voter in Wilcox and the other conn-
tioa had six times the power in miking the
government of Georgia, that a voter in Chat
ham or Richmond or Bibb possessed.
That is terrible. It is an awful evil in any
State, and it is a wholly inadequate remedy to
compel these non-populous counties to con
tribute more tban their rateable portion of the
e xpense by providing that each county shall pay
for its own representation. Any man or any
party wishing to nae representatives in the Gen
eral Assembly for their own purposes, would be
glad to make that bargain. They would be glad
to charter aa many representatives as might be
necessary for any corrupt purpose and pay
their per diem and mileage.
No, no 1 This bill does not tonch tbo real evil
—which defeats all justice and equality in the
popniar representation, and makes some citi
zens have six representatives where others have
Tbis ia the crowning curse of these new
oonnties,wbioh never onght to have been created
nnti! they bad a representative population equal
to the standard. The Constitution provides for
175 representatives, and every new county
abonld be required to show its rateable propor.
lion ont of the sum total in the State, to entitle
it to one of these representatives.
Can thia be done? Yes, at orce. Bo soon as
the Legislature meets it ean remodel the whole
apportionment. The eonatitntion (see parapraph
2d of seotion 3d) empowers the “General As
sembly after each oensos by the United States
government” to change the apportionment of
representation, bnt in no event to inorease the
aggregate number of representatives This is
the very session at which it can and mast bo
done, because the oensns baa just been comple
ted. It will be one of the most important dnties
of tho Legislature to make a now apportionment
bill. In relation to representatives it abonld fix
a representative ratio, and where a connty baa
insufficient population combine it with one or
more to inanre an aqnal and jnst standard of
representation aa nearly aa possible.
Death of Dr. Ilonnrll.
Tbe announcement of tbia calamity, on Sun
day morning, oame upon onr people like a clap
of thunder in a dear sky. The sad event oo-
onrred ao late Saturday night that there was
time only for a brief and abrupt announcement
for the morning's edition. It is seldom, even
in the ca'alogne of sadden deaths, that life is
terminated with so little premonition. Tbo sum
mons fonnd him apparently in improved health,
and harried him away, as it were, in a moment,
with the utterance of bnt a singlo complaint of
pain. It waa but a step across the river. Ono
foot touched heaven’s threshold before the other
bad fairly left the earth. He has vanished like
a dream, bnt tho record of hia life, and tha in
fluence of hia teachings and bis example wiU
remain forever. Dr. Bonnell was one of the
loveliest and best of men—a man whose every
act illustrated n noble nature, hallowed by a
supreme devotion to religions dnty. He was a
bright and shining example of tbe Christian
scholar and gentleman. To lose him wla griev
ous—* terrible blow to bis family—a severe
stroke upon the college—tho church and society;
bnt tbo mellow radiance of Christian hope and
consolation anrronnda bis grave, and shows ns
that tbe common loss is his nnestimable gain
Wo are assured that satisfactory biographical
mementoes of tbo Doctor will be shortly pub
lished in tbis paper by those holding daily pro
fessional relations with him.
A Grave Charge.
At a meeting of the citizens of Montgomery,
held on Thursday, to do honor to the memory
of the murdered Clanton, CoL Joseph Hodgson,
formerly editor of the Mail and now State Su
perintendent of Education, made a moat elo
quent address, from which the following ia an
extract:
His very magnanimity of character was his
death. He was willing in his magnanimity to
treat one who proved an assassin aa a man of
honor. He met hia death like the peerless hero
be was. Gen. Clanton died in the eanse of the
State of Alabama. His life had been threatened
again and again by tbe friends of the corpora
tion against which be had been employed by
the State. He was advised not to go to East
Tennessee. Hia friends pleaded with him to
avoid personal collisions. He had bat one an
swer and that was the State bad employed him
to guard her interests, and no intimidation oonld
move him from his purpose to go wherever hi*
duty called him and wherever the interests of
the State demanded bia presenoe.
He waa assassinated in eold blood. All tbo
eirennutanoes of the tragedy point to a conspir
acy for hia death. Tho agent of the hostile
corporation introduces a notorious desperado.
A quarrel ia instantly sprung by tha assassin.
A gun is in convenient reach. A horse ia ready.
The deed ia done, and in the fall of Gen. James
H. Clanton nnder the weapon of the aasaasin
the State of Alabama fell.
Tbe charge contained in this extract is of avery
grave nature, and one wbioh we cannot bnt believe
willbe proved witbont foundation. Such an assas
sination is something too horrible even for con
templation. It would justify, if anything ever
does, the bloodiest retribution on every partici
pant in it that vengeance could devise. Wo
hope the whole troth of this murder may be
dragged to light, and if CoL Hodgson is right,
that the assassin and hia aooompliee* may atone
for their infamy on the gallows within thirty
days.

A Pitiable Object.—On last Thursday night
a policeman fonnd a woman on tho street en
tirely naked and
to the cool antnmn
breezes. She was a poor idiolio oolored woman,
named Harriet Lewis, and in addition to being
naked was almost dead from lack of food. She
waa carried to the station house and the Chief
of Polios sent ont and purchased her some
clothing. Yesterday morning a permit was ob
tained from the Ordinary and she was sent to
the Freedmen’s Hospital to be cared for. Her
exhaustion from want of food was ao groat that
she oonld soarcely walk without assistance. It
is hard to realize that such a case as this should
occur in the city of Augusta.

Fokbidden Fbuit toe Sweetest.—A French
lady, holding np a glass of water, remarked
Were it a sin to drink this, how delidons it
would be!” This innate propensity to indnlge
in forbidden things waa strikingly illustrated by
a little boy of our town a few days ago. The
neighbors of a certain school complained that
some of tbe pnpils used profane language when
ont at play. Tho teacher enquired of the boys
who it was that indnlged in so reprehensible a
practice One little fellow manfully owned np,
and reoeived tho punishment. Ho afterwards
said to some of his atsoeiatoa: “It was a tight
plaoo for a fellow to be in. “I couldn't tell a
lie, but bated to acknowledge tbo oo-n. Bnt I
intend to continue enssin' till I'm twelve years
old. I’m not accountable for my sins until I
reach that age, and 1’U have the fan while I

We find iho following in the Atlanta Constitn-
tion of Sunday:
Seduction Case.—For two day* DeKalb Su
perior Court has been engaged in tha trial of
Rev. M. D. Wood (Presbyterian) on tho charge
of seduction. Eminent oounsel arc arrayed
on each side. The State is represented by So
licitor General E. P. Howelland CoL 0. Peeples.
The defendant by CoL G. N. Lester and Hon.
M. A. Candler.
But two witnesses were examined for the
prosecution, a Mrs. Cbivcra and her danghter.
The defense offered no testimony. The yonng
Miss Chivere testified that she was a member of
the church of which he was a pastor, and at
tended hia school. That she placed great con
fidence in him. In 18G7, tho first time, she
states, that he nsed improper language to her,
was in a lane. He praised her beanty and intel
ligence, and bagged and kissed ber. She cried,
bnt be accompanied ber home and kissed her
at the gate. The second time he came to ber
bonse after bed time, and betrd ber lesson.
Afterwards be pleads headache and lying upon
a bed begged ber to mb bis head. From
this time sbo dates ber ruin. She states
that sbe frequently went to his house of
her own accord, and that tbe intimacy was
carried on from 1867 to 1870 or 1871. She avera
that he told ber that his wife waa bo only in
name; that he oonld not confide in her; that
she couldn't live long; that he and Miss Cbivers
were oongenial, and that on the death of hia
wife be would marry ber; that he loved her bet
ter than any other woman. Sbe is an intelli
gent witness and admitted that she knew she
was doing wrong, bnt said that she loved him.
Solicitor General Howell and Colonel Peoples
spoke in behalf of the State, and Hon. M
CAcdler and Colonel Lester for tho defense. The
speeches were able and impressive. We noticed
a number of divines present. The court house
was thronged. Tbe case has excited a deep in
terest from the high character sustained by Rev.
Mr. Wood for parity. The jury, after an ab
sence of one hour, returned a verdict of guilty.
Notice was given of a motion for new trial and
for an arrest cf judgement.

Crops in Bibb.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Balow
I will give an estimate of crop statistics accord
ing to my observation in Bibb county, for tbo
present year: Wheat and oat* were about two-
thirds of a crop, except in certain localities
where the yield was below a half crop on ao-
connt of mat and the wet weather in Jane,
which interfered with harvesting Corn has
tamed oat sboat an avenge half cr-p, except
bottoms and fresh lands planted early. These
may be two-thirds of a crop. Grass is unex
ceptional, bnt drying np very rapidly at pre»
Harvesting should be pushed to secure good
fonge. Peas, unless cut off by frost, will be
two-thirds of a crop, by the lari aa a standard,
bnt the crop of peas in 1870 waa not good. Po
tatoes, if frost stays off a month longer, will be
eqnal to 1870. A very good crop of potatoes ia
generally expected.
Cotton, ob 1 ootton. What shall I aay of oot
ton ? Full half as much as last season may he
gathered, bnt tbe staple and texture of the oot
ton will be inferior. Drouth, wet weather,
storms, and all disasten thrown into one year
have reduced the yield of cotton at least one-
half.
Vie will call loudly for guanos next season for
cotton—it wo can get them. Would it not pay
for the manufacturers of and dealer* in cotton
to form a gift association to distribute guano
gratis to the cotton planter? The material
oonld be prodnoed a third cheaper and they
would be benefitted by low prices. Or would
it not be advisable for guano dea era to reduce
the price to the lowest point for profit and sell
it by lottery ? Say $5 tickets to draw a ton or
nothing; $2 50 tickets to draw a half ton or
nothing. We mnst use guano to make cotton
on old uplands or dear np onr new lands. We
are too poor to pay present prices for it. Who
will come to our aid and swell the next crop of
notion to five millions ? or will we have to pro
duce ootton for nothing? or will we cease to
produce it ? Better quit miking it unless we
ean make a living profit at it. AU tradesmen
want a living profit—abonld not we ?

Mont tenls—A Trip Under the Alps.
New Yobi, September 29.—A correspondent
of the London Times, writing from Tarin, Sep
tember 15, describes a rido through Mont Cents
tunnel as follows:
Our carriage was lsst in the line, and aa the
engine worked backwards we were cloee to it.

steam. There was no perceptible difference
between the inside and outside air. One of my
companions slumbered through nearly the whole
distance. The fact tbe engine was in onr rear
was certainly in onr favor bnt tha unanimous
evidence of all who had come through in the
morning went far to establish that they
experienced no unpleasant sensation,
