ELECTION, TUESDAY, DECEMBER l-.iTIL
The L'nconfittlotlonallj Nrgolfafcrt
Bonds.
We print the iiitl in relation to these Bomb
in tbia edition of tbe TxxWU**. In our judg
ment it meet* tbe eeeeendleye out a pro
gramme which the Legislature i* bound under
tbeir oaibi to foUo*. One of the negotUtora
of thia elan of bonds, made complaint of tbo
injuatioe of tbia meaaure Home day* ago in tbe
Atlanta papers, but in the very courao of his
complaint be was obliged to admit tbe dot; of
tbe Legialature to protect tbe people from ille
gal debta. He talked about “repudiation” but
bow can there be repudiation when there it no
aaaumpait» If the OonatiluUon bad prohibited
tbe Legialature from contracting any bonded
liability whatever, would any man protend that
a lefoeal to pay sneb bond* waa repudiation ?
But la tbe cane changed at all when the Consti*
lotion b clearly violated in ILo inauance or ne
gotiation of eucb bonda ? In either cane the
Conatitution and hi* oath to support it leaves
tbe eonadention* legislator no latitude to listen
to sentimental or scare-crov talk about ^repu
diation." He cannot bind tbe people on con
ditions wberenoder they bsve expremly notified
blm beforehand in the fundamental Uw that they
would cot be bound. If be attempta to do it,
It Is an aot of usurpation and plnnder.
Will Not Kim a Candidate.
Wo eopy the following from tbe Atlanta Sun,
of ycaterday:
After cancn-.-lng for threo dsjnsod two nights
tbe Itepnblicans havo come to tbe conclusion
not to have any candidate for Governor, and to
let the election go by dofanlt. Ah wo staled in
oar i«rae of Tbaraday morning, tbo leading
members of Ibe party wero divided in tbeir
counsels on WodocsJoy—Home aiding with Con
ley, and determining not to recognizo tbe elec
tion— otbern belleviog a nomination sboold be
madeand tbe election vigorously tested. Wheth
er they have all finally sided with Conley or
not, we do not know. Wbattook piece in tbeir
counsels wo do not know—they are not com
municative. We are only authorized to my that
will place no candidato in tbe field.
At one time it was believed Col. Janus At-
kins would be brongbt out by them, and at one
time be really eras nominated ; but tbia nomin
ation was reconsidered at a Knbmqnent consul-
tatlon, and tbe nomination withdrawn.
We hoped they would make tbo race. Wo
wanted one more ebanoe at them in order to
bnry tbo stinking carcass of Radicalism so deep
that nol even Grant's bayonet* could resur
rect it.
But wbelber they take part in tbe election or
not. let tbe Democrats of Georgia tarn out in
tbeir might, and put tbeir man in by the big
gest vote polled sinoe tbo war. It is charged
by tbe Radical* that the people don't want an
election. Let tbe people reply in tone* that
will oonvince even tbo most skeptical among
those croakers. Let them lay aside all other
bnainosa on next Tuoadsy week, tbe 191b day of
this month of December, and go to tbo poll* in
a body. Our candidate deserves, and the erisis
demand.* an unmistakable expression of tbo
popular will. Don’t atay away beoanso tbe
beaten, fraxzled-out cohorts of Radicalism will
not bo ihore to oppoao you. If you fail to
vote, they will point to the result and claim that
they were right, and that you "did not want an
election. If Grant interferes to keep Conley in
offlee, one of tbo grounds will be—if yon stay
away from the polls—that yon did not dealro a
change, and a light voto will bo taken as evi
dance that such waa tbe case. Democrats of
Georgia—rally to tho old flag and its bearer
jnat as though tho enemy eonfronlod you in
heavy force. That’s yonr duly, lit well as your
safety.
Oun neighbor, tbo Macon Messenger, a few
days ago, aimke of the “double distilled Htnpid-
itv" of the Norm uaroiroa negnmnare,
i^lpoCod [o' secess\on, V fiaVtl( (l manYAly iT
- tbe field and In fnrnlabing clothing to anITering
soldiers, not only North Carolinians but to other
Horn horuers. Too right! ally and nobly proud
to aak any favors from tyrants and usurpers, he
and the legialature preferred that his great
Htato should remain forever unrepresented,
rather than not stand tho peer of any of her
oiaters.
If Norwood shonld not bo admitted, and
Blodgett should, where would the difference be
tween the “double distilled stupidity” of the
North Carolina and Goorgla Legislature? If
Abbott ia not a bettor man than Blodgett, we
confess that wo are Ignorant of the dark ways
and vain tricks of rascals.
The above appoars in the Columbus San, of
Friday, ae a comment upon tbe paragraph from
tbe Washington Republican which we published
a day or two aince, and whioh stated that Blod
gett would be Mated at Senator from Georgia
instead of Mr. Norwood.
We fail to see our neighbor’s point. The
case* of Mr. Norwood and Governor Vaneo arc
ao entirely dissimilar that we cannot understand
how any eomparlaon oan be instituted between
them. The former ia nnquosUonab|y eligible
to the offlee he necks under tbe Constitution of
United 8tates as at present in force, while the
latter is not. It Menu to us that this simple
statement of facts ongbt to MUle tbs question
of comparison. Mr. Norwood's rejection would
be an aet of pure partisan tyranny, without a
ahadow of excuse. In rejecting Governor
Vance, however, the Badicala of tbe Senate
justify themselves by reference to a constitu
tional provision which, however odiona and ille
gal it may be, and ire think is, ia still the law
of the land, practically, and dally reoognized by
those who denonnoe and protest against it.
Wa still stick to it that it was “double distilled
stupidity” to elect Governor Vanoe. Tho men
who did it knew, or onght to have known, that
he would not be allowed to represent bis and
their constituents, and it waa their duty as ser
vants of the people to have chosen some one
who eonld have gone to Washington, taken his
Mat, and been ready to serve them. All thia
mock heroic talk of “remaining forever unrepre
sented,” etc., ia out of place in the faoe of such
stem realities a* the people of the Sonth have
to confront every day. If men want to “remain
forever unrepresented,” why tbe denoe should
they go through the farce and expense of doing
that which only leaves them where they were
before ■ It ia child's play—utterly unworthy
practical, sensible men, and we hope to see no
more of it
list Governor Yanoe return bis credentials,
and let the Legislature elect somebody who oan
go to Washington and fight tbe earpet-bagger
Abbott on something like equal terms.
Tn LcomLaxoaa—Proposes to adjourn next
Saturday over into January, when they expect
to inaugurate the Governor, spend a few day*
in completing needful legislation and adjourn
uardia
Doubtless tome thing* oould be well amended
in this Legislature, hat on the whole ithssdis-
pUyod commendable diligenoe and eeonomy in
the public business and has jnatty earned the
character of an boneetf patriotic, intelligent, con
scientious and liberal body. We are very well
satisfied with it, and believe thia ia the impres
sion which it has prodnoed on the people at
large.

The Lect’onntyAgricalUiral Address
By Dr. J. F. Stevens, which ia oonclnded in
this edition, will appear in fall in tbe Mam
moth Wxxxlt Tei-romam next Thursday, and
it richly merits s very wide dissemminalion
among tbe people. It treats alike of scientific
and practical fanning, and is in tbe highest de
gree j editions and timely in all Its suggestions.
If tbe Dee County Agricultural Society had done
nothing more than pnt one such enlightened
and well-considered paper before the people,
they would stilt bsve done much for tbe cause
of Georgia Agriculture.
We trust this speech will not be left to the
oblivion which too commonly follows a mere
newspaper publication. We oan give it circu
lation and readers by thousands; bat it ought
to be preserved for reference, study and intro
duction into tbe practical operations of tbo
farm; and there can be no more important or
useful function performed by our agricultural
associations, State and connly, than the gather
ing of such thoughtful and matured treatises in
a 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 forming snd demonstrates that any
other system must necessarily result in a finan
cial failure. But he fears the effect of low
prioed Western supplies combined with tho
temporary rise in cotton reuniting from half
eropai
Tho lessons of tbe year, rightly considered,
more urgently than over before favor the pro
duction of all farm supplies at home and reduc
ing cash outlays to tbe lowest point Let
see: from forty to fifty per oent. deficit in the
crop be* raised prices about thirty per cent
and tbe planters are conceded to be poorer on
an average than they were last year. They have
been at last reduced to tbe practice of a stinted
snd compulsory eeonomy, which is prostrating
the trade of tbe towns and cities seriously and
universally.
But this is not tbo worst of it Tbe extreme
reluctance with which cotton rises and the grav
ity of tbe receipts in tbe faoe of snob extraor
dinarily unfavorable year for cotton-growing,
are both feet* full of warning to the cotton
grower. With a yield equal to the crop of 1870,
it is dear cotton would have gone far below
remunerating price and not impossibly have
sunk to nine or ten cents. On the other hand,
tbe amount of ootton produced against every
favorable condition, warns us to enlarge our
view* of the productive capacity of the South-
era States. When a good season comes again,
let us look out for an approach to a crop of five
million bales and a corresponding depression
of prieos. It will not do for cotton producers
hereafter, to fix tbeir anticipations above eleven
or twelve cents and it would bo safer to be
looking even lower. Under these circumstances,
to cut off every cent possible in the cash ex
penses of farming is tbe first dictate of wis
dom and prudence—in fact it is tbe only path
of escape from bankruptcy.

on Wednesday tbe . r >,000 shares of stock owned
by the city in tbe Macon and Angusta Railroad,

ihe sale, then, is $200,000, for which the eity
is to take tbe notes of tbe South Carolina Kail

oent interest from date, and payable at such
times as will be deemed best by tbe Mayor and

large class of people:
Poor. Sxsxxu or Eooxoht.—When many peo
ple find retrenchment necessary they ootn-
menoe by refusing to pay the preacher, and
their next step is to stop their paper. This is
eoonomy falsely so-called. To live long and
prosper people must support the preacher and
sustain their local papers.
Tbe Enquirer says that “Mr. Jaase Adams, of
Taylor eounty, killed three pigs a few days ago,
aged 12 months, whioh weighed, when cleaned,
898 pound*. Tbe heaviest weighed 336 pounds.
“Can't raise meat in tbia country” won't do.

The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Thursday,
thinks that Speaker Smith'* nomination for
Governor, “means that there shall be a return
of honesty and faithfulness to trust in official
administration. This i* much—a boon greatly
to be desired. Bnt It means more than tbia
It means that tbe power of rogues’ ring* shall
be utterly broken, and that tbeir political reign
shall oease. It means that in the return of
honeaty and efficiency in administration that
there shall be a faithful and bonest observance
of law; that rogues shall be brought to answer
at the bar of justice, and that there shall be a
complete—thoroughly complete—investigation
of our disordered State finances. It means an
honest provision for that which is doe by the
Stole in law or in equity. It means jast en
couragement to honest enterprise, and a faith
ful and impartial administration of the laws.
Bat it means also tbe dealing out of even-
handed joatioe to politioal bummer*, and death
to tbe plundering schemes of bummers, hither
to oonoealed and oovered by forma of law.”
Amen and Amen! say we.
We quote these items from tbe Columbus
Sun of Thursday:
Field Linos.—Tho prospect ia that next year
it will be very cheep in this section. Few will
able to ran tbe plows or employ the force of
tbe past spring. Cotton picking is now finish
ed. Laborers are looking for new homes. The

wages must be cut down. There will be many
who oan not secure engagements, and bow they
are to run placet without money or provisions
is s question vet undecided.

The Constitution, of yesterday, says:
Homicide is Baetow Countt.—From a gen

learn that Dr. William McDaniel was killed
near Pine log, in Bartow county, on Wednes

Johnson said something about whipping it.
Angry words ensued between them, and John

Land in Upson county was fold last Tuesday

place,’ of about ninety-elght acres, sold for
eighteen hundred and thirty dollars. The ‘Tay

thousand four hundred and farty dollars. Tbe
•Worthy place,’ of five hundred and thirty acres,
more or leas, was exchanged for four the

portant a matter should be definitely settled.
Tbe Constitution of yesterday illustrates tbo
way high local freights work as follows:
An enterprising firm nt Conyers have pur
chased teams and wagons snd are banting goods
to and from Atlanta cheaper than by railroad.
Most of the merchandise to Slone Mountain
and Decatur is carried by wagon.
Goods are sent to Newnan, via Griffin cheaper
than to Newnan direct.
Goods for our merchants here pass. through
to Nashville and return back cheaper than
stopped here originally.
Mr. A. M. Speights has retired from the At

the Hon. A. H. Stephens. He hints at going
in again, somewhere else, soon—we hear
Griffin. _
The Political Outlook.
[Special to tbe Lonisrillo Courier-Journal.]
Tbo canons of tbe Democratic Senators and
members, to be called to give an expression on
various measures which will arise during the
session, and tbe still more important question
of the Presidency, will probably be postponed
till after tbe holidays. An informal interchange
of opinion on tbe course to be taken in tho lat
ter particular shows great unanimity in opposi
tion to undue harte, or to any step that looks
like a surrender of tbo Democratic organisation
into tbo hands of tbo sn'i Grant Republicans.
Whatever may be tbe strength of tbe totter in
tbe country, there does Dot appear at present
to be a single one of tbe 139 Republican mem
bers of the House, who is willing to pnbliely an
nounce his opposition to the renomination ol
Grant. There are nevertheless many who are
at heart opposed to it, but they at the same
time admit that if be is tbo nominee of the Re
publican party they will bo obliged to Buppoi
him. The Democratic leaders in tho House then
fore, desire to tee some positive position taken by
those Republicans who will not support Grant in
any event, before any profession is made for
coalition to unite tbo Democratio party with
such an element. Many Democratic members
have requested Hon. Fernando Wood, chairman
of tbe joint caucus, to have a conference called
next week in order that members may be able
to inform thoir constituents when they go homo
daring tho recess what position the Democrats
in Congress havo taken on this important ques
tion, while others insist on delaying all action
till tbo full strength of the conservative Repub
licans' opposition is made manifest Demo
cratic members wero informed by an ex-official
of tbo Grant administration, who was quite ac
tive as a visitor on tbe floor of tbo House, that
tbo opposition to Grant's re-elcotion was gath
ering ground among the Republicans in the
JXsvwy* Uart, &•“.»£•,
that the Republicans wero strong enough to
elect almost any prominent man in the party
1872.
FaoaoAMME ron Next Tebm.—Tbe special
correspondent of tbo World, speaking of the
obstacles attending Ibe efforts of the Hon.
Chawlcs to make peace with the President and
get back to bis old position as Chairman of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, says:
Grant, of course, expects to be President for
four yean after the 4th of March, 1872. It'
well understood among his friends hero that
shonld be be re-elected, the great feature of his
second administration will be Ihe acquisition
not only of Santo Domingo, bnt of all the West
India Islands. Tbe Santo Domingo scheme will
surely be pushed with vigor should Grant be
elected. Sumner, at tbe head of the Foreign
Relations Committee of tho Senate, would pre
sent a formidable obstacle, for he has committed
himself ia such a way that be cannot very well
ehimein with the administration programme.
Grant knows this, and be much prefers to have
some such man as Cameron to deal with.
The Westxsn Union Teleobafu Oomtant, in
a published card from Wm. B. Orton, the Pres
ident, to Hon. James B. Book, says:
The Western Union Telegraph Company is
inflexibly opposed to any interference of the
Government with their business. A meeting of
the Board of Directors was held this morning,
which was largely attended, and a resolution
was unanimously pasted protesting against tbe
right and policy of any acquisition of tbeir
property by the Government. A committee,
consisting of Horace F. Clark, A. B. Cornell,
Edwin D. Morgan, Mosea Taylor, and myself,
wav appointed to prepare and send to Washing
ton a protest against tbe suggested action of tbe
Government, and to claim its protection against
interference, and against tbe polioy of tho es
tablishment by the Government of competitive
enterprises.”
Geoeoe Wilkes in Washington.—A specie 1
to tbe Herald says the arrival of George Wilkes
in this city and the announcement that he pro
posed to take the initiative in a matured move
ment against tbe renomination of President
Grant, or, failing in this, to lead tbe way for
his defeat at the next Presidential election, has
been the subject of considerable conversation
andoomment among tho politicians temporarily
abiding in Washington. Daring the session of
Congress to-day he was at the Capitol, and most
of the time was on the floor of the Senate.
Subsequently he received a large number of
callers at his rooms at tbo Arlington, and was
geduntil midnight explaining to those who
I tbe plan of operation marked out for tbe
organization of an anti-Grant party. He is san
guine ot the result.
The Axti-Gxaxt Retcbucans, acoording to
the Courier-Journal, are falling away like
Autumn leaves. A Washington special of the
6th instant to that paper says:
There does not appear at present to be a ain-
[le one of the 139 Bepnbliean members of the
loose, who is willing to publicly announce his
opposition to tbe renomination of Grant
There are nevertheless many who are at heart
opposed to it, but they at tbe same time admit
that if he is the nominee of the Bepnbliean
party they wifi be obliged to support him.
