Telegraph & Messenger. BUNDAY MORNING. DEO. 10. 1871. DEMOCRATIC ticket. I'OR UOYKRXOK. Hon. JAS. M. SMITH. or mcscoqee. 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time be really eras nominated ; but tbia nomin ation was reconsidered at a Knbmqnent consul- tatlon, and tbe nomination withdrawn.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. Dona Tain* is Nrw To**.—Several of tbe leading retail tradesmen of New York were In terviewed by a World reporter, a few days ago, Wa object being to learn the state of trade and the prospeota of the holiday season. In almost •eery caMownpUlnt* of dullness were made, and the condmion b that New York ia eonaid- •»Ny poorer now than it waa at tho corns- ponding period of la«t year, Co*™* Rxcxmu.—Trim September 1st to Beoember 9, |«70. kUron reom^d 57,175 bales fl’cotton.

Bnrerao xm* XMoaarn Lrazs.-Beprceen- tativo Beck, of Kentucky, in some remarks in the House on tbe proposition to run tbe tala- grapb line* through the Federal Government, says: “There are* five thousand telegraph stations and seven thousand employes in the United States, which would be swelled to twenty thou sand stations and ihroe hundred and twenty-five thoneand employee, if this corrupt Administra tion assumed control cf tho telegraph system.” 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. T ill". LEOItUI.% I’ltKNM. Sergeant Mike Hall, of tbe Augusta police, has been bound over in tbe sum of $500, to an swer a charge of assault with intent to kill Oaptain William Batchelor, one day last week. Tbe editor of the Dawson Journal, having plenty of leisure time, baa been counting tbe broken glass in tbo windows of tbe Molhodist Gbnrcb of that pleoe. He figures up 22 panes on ono side. Weelipthese iteuisfrom tbo Dawson Journal Considerable whooping cough is reported among tbe children in some portions of oar town.

Superior Court ia still in session, the moderate cost to tbe connty of about $127 per day. What a pity that people will do wrong. Wn learn there was a difficulty between Mr. Mathews snd a Mr. Smith, at Boyd’s Store, Calhoun county, about ten days since, result ing in tbe shooting of Smith, who died on Monday last.

Several families fleeing from (he Radical reign of terror in Sonth Carolina passed through Gaioesvillo, last week, on their way West Gainesville had a six inoh snow last Thurs day, and whisky went down at an equal pace with tbo thermometer. The Augusta Constitutionalists, of Friday, says: Sale or tux Macon and Augusta Bailhoad Stock Owned dt tux Crrr.—The Mayor, with the approval of tbe Finance Committee, sold on Wednesday tbe . r >,000 shares of stock owned by the city in tbe Macon and Angusta Railroad, to tbe Sonth Carolina Railroad Company, at to cents on tbe dolltr. The amount realised by ihe sale, then, is $200,000, for which the eity is to take tbe notes of tbe South Carolina Kail road Company, in such amounts, with 7 per oent interest from date, and payable at such times as will be deemed best by tbe Mayor and Finance Committee, to meet the outlay required for enlarging tbe canal. The Rev. George T. Goetcbiur, pastor elect of tbe Albany Presbyterian Church, will be in stalled on the third 8nnday in thia month—the 17th insL The Coiambus Enquirer fires Ibis thot at 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 testimony of Mr. Adam* against that cry is too heavy.” Mr. John Morgan, a grocer doing business on tbe corner of Broughton and Whitaker streets, Savannah, died Thursday afternoon, from tbe effects of a dose of carbolic acid taken by mis take. 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 supply is greeter than tbe demand, and bence 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. Fashionable Wedddto.—Last evening, in tbe Episcopal Church, Miss Warren Chapman, of tbe most beautiful ladies of Columbus waa married to Mr. Edward Haile, of New York. The eenrioe was impressively performed by Rev. W. C. Hunter, tbe rector of tbe n»ri»h Dr. F. A. Stanford gave away tbe bride. Tbe was crowded. Afterwards a brilliant reception was given at the residence of the bride’s mother. The Savannah Hews, of Thursday, has a long aocount of a sad aoeoe occurring in that city on Tuesday, at a house of ill fame. A banker who resides in a prominent city of New York, and *hooe daughter was seduced by a man to whom •he waa affianced at Saratoga Springs, last snm- whenee she fled on realizing her condi tion, arrived there that day accompanied by a detective, who bad traced her to that point «mpo<» victim of man’s devtitry was only too gun to be token to her father’s heart and home •gain, and toft the city with turn on the Cen tral tra.n that evening, to return to her old jome. ltc- suppresses lie names of the part.t.--. I - J; ■* tore Of S. N. Stallings, of Covington, was entered tost Friday night, and $20 money, and $200 worth of goods, developed. Tax street railroad system of Atlanta, seems to be getting on a paying basis. The Consti tution, of yesterday, says: Stkett Raileoad.—We learn that all tbo stock for the line* of street railroad on Marietta, Peachtree and Decatur streets, has been token, and tbe work will soon commenoe. The lines will all be under the same Board of Directors. The iron for two of the tinea has been received, and tbe timbers ordered. Tbe West End tine la paying handsomely, and cost for its construc tion one-fourth of the cost of tho roads in Au gusta and Charleston of tbe same length. Nioe fat beef, hind-quarters at that, was of fered for sale last Wednesday, at Covington, and found no buyers. We dare the owner come down here and treat ns that way. The Constitution, of yesterday, says: Homicide is Baetow Countt.—From a gen tleman who reached this eity this morning we learn that Dr. William McDaniel was killed near Pine log, in Bartow county, on Wednes day, by a man named Johnson, his brother-in- law. McDaniel ia reported to have bad one of his children in his arms trying to pacify it. when Johnson said something about whipping it. Angry words ensued between them, and John son toft the room to get his pistoL McDaniel, apprehending bis purpose, got up and went to tbe bureau to get bis pistol, and while tryingto find it, was shot and instantly killed by John son. One ebot took effect in his head, another in bis breast, and another in his abdomen. Land in Upson county was fold last Tuesday at stiff prices—the times considered. Tbe Tbomaston Herald says a “tract known as tbe ‘Jones place,’ situated on Oak Chunkney creek, containing four hundred meres, more or less, sold for fire thousand dollars. Tbe ‘Andrews place,’ of about ninety-elght acres, sold for eighteen hundred and thirty dollars. The ‘Tay lor ptooe,’ below Hootonvilie, brought one thousand four hundred and farty dollars. Tbe •Worthy place,’ of five hundred and thirty acres, more or leas, was exchanged for four the dollar*.” - We bope tbe Atlanta Era will get that item abont “Dr. Speer, of Fennsjjvania, who stopping with bis dangbtor, Mrs. Bcgdon, Rawaon street,” right, after swbUe. So im 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 lanta Son, having sold hts interest therein 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.
