SUNDAY MORNING. NOV. 26. 1S71.
Ont Upon Him.
Tbe Atlanta New Ere, the organ of Conley’*
ruurpation; in an article upon “Martial Law
for Georgia and Floridia," my*:
For the aame reason, some of the ablest and
beat men in the State, of both political parties,
bare begged the present Legislature not to re
peat the madnees and foil; of 18G8. Nothing
can be gained by extreme or rerointionary
measures at this time. On the contrary, we
hare everything to lose by It. Hence, as
matter of expediency alone, leering wholly ont
of the question the UDconstitutionality and
revolutionary eharacier of the proceeding,
bad hoped that an ime would not be fo
with the constituted Executive of the State, by
that aame rabid and rerointionary element
which made the iasne in 1868—an iaanc which
lead to Federal interference with the local
affairs of the State. And now, in the name of
the commercial and material interest* of the
State, to aay nothing of the moral turpitude of
the thing, those men in Georgia who think
more of the interest of the commonwealth than
of party, protest against a farther contiaasnoa
of this madness.
If the late Governor Bailoek could only have
gained his own consent to remain In Georgia
and join the aame protest against the “madam*"
of any inqniry into his official sets, when the
State was (hrealeacd with martial law, Conley'
usurpation would never have occurred. Let
the organ take this view of the case and weep
over tbs indiscretion of Ballock; or if he nn
del-stands the facts of the case differently, let
him explain to the people whether this wss not
aome niee arrangement between Bollock and
Cooley to bring martial law upon Georgia—the
one operating in Washington and the other in
Georgia for the same end—Bollock afraid
remain and Conley unable to keep his seat with
out the essential prop of Foderal bayonets
What a striking Illustration of insubordination
and disloyalty!
And it is the aamo all over tho Sontb. Tbe
people will not lie still and be skinned. They
will resist robbery and violations of the law.
See in what trouble the Carolines are, and how
the gentle Sco t complains of their turbulence.
No doubt with Conley and the Era, Poott oonld
weep tears of blood over the “madness'' of the
people in preventing him from pocketing ten or
fifteen millions of bonds. So it is with Bted
and Wsrmontb. They sro certain the people
need martial law, and wondor why, in the face
of their danger from Grant, they should not
anbmit without question to (Uying. All of these
men show llieir appreciation of Grant wheu
they make bis administration a bug-bear to
compel tbe people to submit to fraud and usur
pation on pain t.f persecution by tbe Foderal
Government. Bnt, nevertheless, on so plain
point as llte right of the people to fi'.l this
gnbernatiunal vacancy tho |>eop!e of Georgia
will do their duly, and let tbe administration
take what stunt it may.
I'nury— Important to t'oiiiinlsslon
,Merchant*.
The Savannah Republican, of Friday, notes
the decision, on Wednesday, in tbe United
States Court now sitting in that city, of a esse
which involves some rr suits very important to
ooaniission merchants. Tho snit was in favor
of a New York firm sgsinst two fanners of
Snmter county, Georgia. The former bad ad
vanced about tin,(HIO, in 1866, for the latter,
and pnrehaard for them 100 balos of cotton,
Tbe oontnet was that tbe defendants were to
pay tbreo-qnartiiriof one per cent commission,
and six per cent, interest on tbe advance, as
long as the cotton was held. It wss to be sold
only upon the older of tbe parties owning it
Under this eontraot the cotton was held eight
months. L ko all other eontraots of a similar
nature in the year 1860, when cotton was held
over, there was n heavy loss, amounting to over
$1,G00. Tho defendants gave their note for tbe
amonnt, bnt afterward refused to pay it, and
upon snit brought phi.nl n-iiry.
The Judge charged the jnry that, if this
contract for commissions wss msdc to evsde
the usury statutes of Georgia, then the policy
of the law forbade ita execution; bnt if the
agreement was made to pay tbe legal interest
and a commission to the faotor, for each
month, for his care, dtligenoe, labor and at
tention expended in the business of defen
dants, it was propor they should find for the
plaintiff. Tbe jury were ont bnt a tow mo
ments when they returned a verdict for tbe
plaintiff for (he full amonnt of principal and
interest.
The parties were K. T. Wilson vs. James T.
West and Philip West. K. K. Hines for plain
tiff, and Harden Jr Levy for defendant.
Sens Item*.
Cotton was very strong in Liverpool yester
day, with sales of '.’0,000 bales in the morning,
and an advance of sa eighth. There was about
an eighth of a cent advance in New York.
Mxxtot —Tbe Jnariat forces are reported to

that measure.
Pax ov Mootnims —Tbe House of Represen
tatives on Tuesday passed a bill, fixing the pay
of presiding officers at $10 per day, and of
Members and Senators at $0 per day. The
vote on tbe final adoption, was yeas—104,

Ths Exousn Mi-sion.—'Tbs New York Mail,
of Thursday, says it is quite likely that Gen.
Bohonck has decided to terminate his mission
to England and aooopt the position of law
officer to the North Pacific Railroad Company,
whioh it it understood is kept open for him.
Uauuso —The Hon. G. W. Woodward, a

Public Enceanos in Auidaxa.—Colonel

Instruction, in Alabama, in bis address to the
Board of Education, says that ths coet of ad

less than last year, and the pupil* bare in-
created from 52,000 to 107,000.
Quxxn Victoiua has left her retirement at

mentally iootpacitated for pnblio administra
tion.
Tex Usuar Laws —Mr. Nutting, of this
county, introduced a bill last Thundsy in rela
tion to rates of interest. Wa presume it leavi
the prioe of money to be fixej by the eontraot
and establishes a legal rate only in oases where
none is agreed upon. If these are tbe pro
visions of ths bill we hope it will pass.
T«« State Conviction.—A correspondent of
the Constitution thinks that a Democratic
btate Convention cannot be gathered by the
bth December. The notice is short, bnt it has
beeu distributed by telegram to all points
reachsd by the wires, and we apptehtnd that
tbe difficulty will be found mere apparent than
real. But let the people everywhere art with
energy and decision.
“An lfroc Falias," considering the late Con

by an article in the last Southern Christian Ad
vocate insists that he ought to have a hearing
in this Sunday edition of tho TELaoxars, be

in this aeotioo of Georgia. We admit the com
munication with some doubt as to the propriety
of doing so, and certainly with no idea of going
talo Polem ct either by oumdvea or through

TIIE GEORGIA. FBBM.
Tbe Quitman Banner bas this to say, under
the head of “speech-making:
It is said that Hon. Thomas M. Norwood, in
acknowledging his appreciation of the compli
ment paid him in his election as United States
Senator, said that “speech-miking, letter-
wriUng, and newspaper articles bad been the
bane ot the Sontb, and asserted his intenUon to
avoid speech-making." There may be conside
rable truth in this remark, bnt we trust that
the Senator elect, if he should obtain his seat,
will so ftr depart from his present “intention,”
as to resort fo “speech-making” whenever
found necessary for the vindication of the
honor or interest of bis State. It is for this
he bas been honored with the position of
United States Senator.
Tbe epienres of Gainesville are licking their

The German, named Brnnn, whose injury
from being run over by a wagon, at Angnsta,
on Wednesday, we have heretofore noticed,
died Thursday morning. From what tho
Chronicle says, he most have been born under
an nnincky star;
He entered the hospital here some time ago,
when sick, and when he was nearly well ven
tured ont of the building. He had not gone
far before he was attacked by a ferocious dog
and badly bitten. Thia necessitated a return
to the hospital, where he remained nntil Wed-
needay, when be was discharged. He had
walked about three squares, when a runaway
bone knocked him down and inflieled a mortal
injury.
John Crompton and Charles Denham had a
face slapping, head whacking, and pistol shoot
ing match, on Broad street, Angnsta, Thursday
night, which resnlted in Crompton's losing some
claret, and Denham's being placed under $500
bond to answer s charge of sasanlt with intent
to kill.
An accident on tbe Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad, on Wednesday, about five
miles from the latter city, resnlted in badly
damaging two cars, and giving the passengers
a thorough shaking up.
Mr. John T. Kirk, originally from Sooth Car
olina, but now of Kansas, while on his way to
revisit bis old home st Chester, was swindled
ont of $210, st Angnsta, last Wednesday night.
It was tbe old story. Gentlemanly appearing
stranger accosted him—gave Masonic sigoal—
said be was from Kansas City and was also on
bis way to Chester, S. 0.—then a man claiming
to be railroad freight agent came in and de
manded of stranger $240 to pay charges on a
car load of goods attached to the train—stranger
had only $30 in bis pocket-book—asked Kirk
to loan bim $210, which Kirk did, tho latter
taking a check for $1,400 on the Mechanics’
B.mk of Kansas City as security—train started
and stranger said he wonld go and look after his
baggage, whioh he did—perhaps, bnt which he
didn't come back, and so Kirk tore bis hair and
rushed for tbe police, bnt all to no purpose.
Tbe cane crop of Southwestern Georgia ia re
ported to be very fine this season. The Albany
News moat ions a stalk nine feel long, and which
had twenty well matured joints.
Wo olip these items from the same paper:
Hettuno Ur.—We are pleased to learn that
the planters of this section are determined to
square accounts. MsDy of them have foiled to
make cotton enough to psy ont, bnt they are
nnwilling to straggle under the inenbns of debt
any longer, and are turning over males and
other propeify in liquidation of daims against
them. Tbe present outlook indieates a great
redaction in l be ootton acreage next year. The
system cf advsnees and liens on crops will be,
in a great measure, abandoned and the more
sensible policy adopted of circnmsoribing plant
ing within the limits of available means.
The Cotton Cr.or—Onr planters orr just
now anxiously awaiting tho effect of the frost
and sanahine on the uomstared frait. There
is aa immense crop of bolls, from tbe size of
ehinqaapia to fall grown, and the anxiety about
any of them opening is intense. They were
green and growing when the cold weather set
in, and it is questionable whether the nearly
matured fruit will open. A few days will decide
the matter. Tbe crop relied on is nearly gath
ered, and does not exceed half the yidd planted
for.
The Savannah Advertiser, of Friday, says

Mr. Louis Grevomberg has about twenty-one
field hands at work on the share systsm on the
west side of tho Teche, in the parish of St.
Mary, all of them white men, and they will
make over ten hogsheads of sugar and fifteen
barrels of molasses to the hand this year, be
tides corn enough for their own use.
They raise chickens to sell, sell eggs, vegeta
bles and other things—nearly enough to pay
their own accounts. The twelve white families
on his piaoe have this year bought two barrels
of pork, about 200 pounds of bacon, about
thirty-six barrels of flour, and coffee and salt.
They famish their own teams, which they
keep fat and strong, and they give Mr. Grevem-
berg very little tronble. They work in the field
every month in the year, and their doctor’s bills
do not amount to more than a dollar a head
yearly for each member of their families. They
are thrifty and some of the families will, in a
few years, have money enough to bny homes of
their own.
Twelve white families will cultivate Mr. Gre-
vemberg's lands on shares next year. He has
declined to make contracts with abont twenty
other white families who have applied to work-
on the shore system.
On the Delahoossaye plantation, in the
AuLarge, there ore fifteen block acd white
hands at work on shares. The plantation will
this year make some money. Last year and
year before lost they lost money with negro
labor by the month. The hands this year will
roll 128 arpents of plant cane, and 15 arpents
of stubble. Mr. Fsy is building houses on his
plantation for white laborers on the shore
system.
Mr. A. Sorrel is also building honses on the
fine prairie between the Teche and Bayon
Cypremort for the same purpose.
Others are taking the share system and white
labor into serious consideration.
Mr. J. A Provost this year worked his own
land, and mode eleven and a half hogsheads of
sugar, and about fifteen barrels of molasses.
He also makes four hogsheads of sugar from
sugar made on his place on shares, making over
eighteen hogsheads of sugar and twenty-seven
barrels of molasses for Iris year’s work clear.
He spent but little money in making his crop.
His extra work cost him bnt twenty.four dollars.
He pnt np eight arpents of seed cane, and has
thirty seres of stnbble.
Dr. Bnssy sent to the New Orleans German
Immigrant Society last spring for white labor
ers. They sent him fifteen hands. They
worked the crop through June, and till laid by
in July, did well, were not sick more than the
negroes, worked side by side with the negroes
in the field, the negroes working better than
when working by themselves.
Dr. Bossy says he could not have made his
orop without these white men, and will never
attempt to make a crop without white laborers.
Ho says that white labor will come, and must
boused. He has about fifty white men at
work in sugar making.
Dn. Gbeelet's Advice to a Scientific Col-
obzd Gentleman.—Wo were sitting with Horace
one afternoon in that little disreputable sanc
tum of his adjoining the counting-room of the
Tribnne. The old gentleman was in one of his
chroma conditions of grumble and discontent
He had that mealy appearance, so common
to him, that made him resemble a blonde miller
fresh from the dost of his flour mill, and was
expressing his private opinion in a pnblio and
somewhat profane way, when a colored gentle
man was announced. “Let him coma in,”
roared the philosopher, and an aged darky clad
in broadcloth, gold rimmed spectacles, and a
cone, headed with the some precious metal,
stalked in.
“Mister Groeley, I believe?” he inquired.
“Yes, I’m Mister Greeley; what do you
want ?” was the gruff response.
“Well, ssh,” said old Ebony Specs, seating
himself ns he deposited his hat and cane on
the floor—“ Well, sab, I’ve been flunkin' that
onr race don’t pay ennff attention to scientific
pursuits, Bah.”
We saw the clond gather on the intellectual
countenance of the great journalistic Bohe
mian. It broke in thunder at that point. In
a voice wherein were blended the shrill tones
of s historical woman and the growl of s tiger,
he exclaimed:
Scientific pursuits! yon d—d old fool; yon
want a hoe handle and patch of New Jersey—
that’s the scientific pursuit you want Get
ont.”—Don Piatt's Capital.
