H 1. HcINTOSM, • - Editor
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25,1875 !
The (lubernnloi'inl Aspect.
"Will Governor Smith bo ft candi
date for re-election? That’s the
question; everywhere we go wo hear
it propounded, and oven tho very
immmjfnl ones are obliged to answer
that they are “not exactly prepared
at this time to say.” Sam Bard prints
it in his paper in Montgomery, Al
abama, that “Gov. Smith can beat
any Democrat for the nomination, the
opinions of a few jnckassical Georgia
editors to the contrary, notwithstand
ing.” Sam even goes further and
says, “One or two more Macon fairs,
such as the late one, and Milt Smith
will be the Democratic candidate for
President of the United States. The
dirty little game played off at the last
fair has added vastly to his strength
—with the people.”
Next comes tlicJMacon Teleijraph and
says that the Columbus Enquirer-Sun
snVH, that a gentleman says, that an
other man says that Gov. Smith
said, “within the last few days to a
friend of his in Atlanta," that lie (Gov-
Smith) was not a candidate for re
election.
The same paper then goes on to say
that “if this bo true, the decision of
his Excellency points to him as the
successor of Mr. Norwood to the Sen
ate, and General Colquitt as the next
Governor.”
It seems by this, then, that Govern
or Smith and his friends think that all
he has to do to be Governor or Sena
tor either is, for him just to say that
ho “rather thinks he will.” Now, it
is our own opinion that Gov. Smith
would be very glad to be either, but
when it comes to a race between him
and Gen. Colquitt for Governor, or
between him and Such a man as Nor
wood for Senator, his friends will he
as “seldom” ns Mexican dollars in
this section of the Sate. Our people
don't want a man in office who prom-
ises to do one thin" before bin elec
tion, and then after he gets into pow
er, docs anti's r. It is cus
tomary and a well-known fact in po
litical circles all over the State that
in the gubernatorial contest the peo
ple are influenced to a very great ex
tent by the promises of candidates to
make such appointments, in case of
their election, as the people most de
sire in offices of a local character, but
in this the people of Brooks and many
other counties that we could name,
have been badly sold out by Mr.
■Smith. Immediately after ho went
into office a liowl was set up from dif
ferent parts of the State, where it was
charged that Gov. Smith had posi
tively promised the people of con
tending counties for Judgeships, etc.,
that he would appoint the choice of
the county giving him the best major
ity, for it seemed that he came near
er doing what he said he wouldn’t do
than lie did to what ho promised he
would do. All this our people have
not forgotten, and they want to elect
a man who has the firmness to say a
thing and uliok to it.
Baruum told the following in his
lecture in Chicago: In his museum,
u gentleman and his daughter stood
gazing at the Siamese Twins. The
showman said they- were the most re
markable phenomenon in the known
world, were born in Siam, etc.
“Brothers, I suppose?” remarked the
gentleman, interrogatively, still look
ing with wonder at the tied-ups.
“Yes, sir, brothers; natural brotli
eus, too,” said tbe showman. “My
dear,” said the visitor, religiously,
turning to Ins daughter, “think of
the goodues of Providence in linking
two natural brothers together, instead
of two strangers.”
John W. Snell, a young clerk in
Jonesboro, blew his brains out at a
ball one night last week. It seems
that he had not been invited to the
bah, which he took as an insult. He
dressed himself, wont to tho door of
the bull room and called for tho young
man who was prompting for the co •
tilion, and telling him good-bye he j
placed the pistol to his temple and j
fired.
Judok Lynch. — Another attempt
was made by a negro to rape a highly
respectable young lady in Houston
county last Monday.- He knocked
out some of her teeth and filled both
of her eys with dirt in attempting to
accomplish his hellish design. He
was arrested by the Sheriff, but was
afterwards taken in charge by Judge
Lynch, and lmngcd.
—— m •
To and From Texas. —Tho Mont
gomery Advertiser says a dozen or
more immigrants, said to lie from
•Southwest Georgia, passed through
the city Wednesday en route for the
mistaken El Dorado—Texas. The
travel both ways, shows that more
parsons are returning from the West
than there are goiug thither.
Orpuiizing for 1 lie Third Term.
The Chicago Timex is responsible j
for the assertion that Col. Johli S. j
Mosby, of Virginia, tho original third
term man, is at the head of an organ
ization in the South formed for tho |
secret purpose of advocating Presi
dent Grant's re-election, and that'
there is also a secret society, known as
the nnti-Catholic Organization, pledg
ed to the President, which is sending
circulars throughout the country.
The Timex gives tho circular as fol
lows:

Hnlloi'k and Blodgett.
A reporter of the Atlanta llcrald
i called on Governor Smith the other
day, and prints tho following inter
view between himself and the Gov
ernor, relative to a requisition for Bul
lock and Blodgett.
Reporter—The press is asking,
Governor, why it is that Foster Blod
gett and Bullock are not levied on hv I
your executive requisition and
brought before Georgia law for tri
ah
Governor Smith —I am ready to j
make a requisition at any time for [
Blodgett, if any one should make ap- ]
plication for me to do so. There are j
reasons which, to my mind, are good !
for resting the matter, as it stands,
on this ground. I will make tho req
uisition when it is applied for.
Reporter—lt was said when the
voluntary military of the State was!
reorganized, that some countries bor-1
dering on South Carolina were attend- i
ed to first, and that the object of this j
was to have a military force ready to
go over into South Carolina and take
Blodgett bodily. Of course there is
no foundation for this absurd ru
mor ?
Governor—lt is perfectly wild and
nonsensical. No sane person could
■attribute such an idea for a moment
to a sane executive officer.
Reporter—What about Governor
i Bullock ?
Governor- I tried to get Bullock,
and at a cost of somo twelve hundred
I dollars to the State; the effort was
unsuccessful. Ido not know where
Bullock is now. It is said ho is at
■ Albion, New York. Where ho might
'he found is another question. I am
always ready to givo any information
iin my power to the people, but my
private reasons for official action or 1
| nonaction in matters of State it, is not i
j necessary always to give. 'The action 1
'is based on what I consider to be
| good grounds in view of all tbe facts ,
|in my possession. It is neither wise
nor important to discuss these pri
vate reasons at all tiinoe.
In a recent lecture, the Rev. Rob-!
ert Collyer told the following anec
dote : He was at a children’s party
one Christmas eve, and, seeing a lit
tle boy sitting in one corner and not
dancing, he approached him and
asked him why he did not join the
others and dance. “I’m not danthing,”
said the boy solemnly, “because I
don’t think danthing ith the great en
of life.” “Now, you know,” added
Mr. Collyer, “if that was my boy, I
should think he was meant for a min
ister, but I should be sorry for the
church that had to take him iu.”
Josh Billings probably never wrote
anything about making lip newspa
pers, but if he ever should write
anything in that line it may bo ex
pected to read about like this :
“Thare iz as meny wase tew make up
a paper us thare iz tu flavor tho ef
fort with good sence, keep your e3'es
peeled fur short and bent leds, and

been wurked oil’.”
THE COTTOX Ell OP AXD WIIAT
TI7EN r
SOMK PROGNOSTICATIONS ANIJ POSSIBILITIES.
(From tlio Macon Telegraph. )
There was a prognostientinn yester
day from the southwest that if the cot
ton in tho field could be saved, the
incoming crop would outrank in mag
nitude any hitherto produced in the
southern country. We have been in
clined to look for a crop in the neigh
borhood of 4,200,000 bales, and to
liopo that it will not greatly exceed
i that amount. Three or four hun
| dred thousand bales in excess would
take prices entirely beyond the influ
j ence of producers, and the whole cot-
I ton-growing business would rush
■ down hill to ruin without backstrap
I or b’Teching.
This, wo take it, is the pending
question just now, and the great rock
!of peril ahead. We may not strike it
this year; but where is the probability
j of missing it next year, or any year in
j the future which shall prove to be
' very fruitful. The past heavily pro
j ductive year, as affairs are progress
ing, is bound to overstock the raw
| cotton market and send tho whole
crop oegging.
It is quite true that such a catas
i troplie did happen twice before the
| war with no very ruinous consequen
! ces to the planters; but it- will be un
wise in cotton producers to measure
' the future results of such a catastro
phe by the past, Before the war
their lands and all their plantation in
vest ruouts, including laborers, were
solid, available assets, yielding, alto
gether, a moderate income in the
shape of increasing value, independ
ent of crops. But now, there is noth
ing to make farming lands in the
South of any money value whatever,
except profitable returns from culture;
nid when these cease and cannot be
reasonably expected to revive, South
ern lands become as worthless in the
market as railway stock which can
never bring a dividend.
And let no man delude liimself
with the idea that a recovery in prices
wili bo an easy matter when quota
tions have fallen absolutely below the
i cost of production upon any reason
| aide scale of remuneration, ’.jjhcre
will still be a wide margin for loss in
price by the degradation of the pro
ducers ! Negro labor can still be
squeezed down a good deal in the
interests of consumers, and then there
is also an immensity of white labor
! which can find little or no other ein-
ployraent except in agriculture, and
will he forced to work at any price on
the “root hog or die” principle.
Cotton has sunk rapidly every suc
cessive year since the war, until we
see it now from fifty-two cents a
■ pound in 18G6 to twelve cents a pound
l in 1875. Avery few months more of
that headlong speed in decline will
bring it to a poiut when its culture
: will cease to comfortably support the
labor which produces it, and the lat
ter must sink to a condition of disor
der and disorganization, or to mere
squalor and serfdom.
It would be folly and cruelty to
hold up this impending doom before
the great Southern cotton interest, if
there were no remedy for this over
production. But there is a remedy
an easy remedy—which an intelli
gent people, seeing and appreciating
the deadly peril ahead, could be in
duced to apply. It is in the power of
the State Granges to abate (he cotton
product a third, and so enforce rea
sonable compensation hfr their labor.
This remedy is a direct and legiti
mate one resorted to by all handi
crafts when the markets become over
stocked with their goods and prices
fall below the cost of production.
It is also in the power of the intelli
gent husbandry of the South to make
such a diversion of their labor as still
to employ it all profitably and increase
their own productive wealth, instead
of sinking down into a destructive
and degrading poverty which shall de
prive them of the comforts and ele
gancies of life. We can apply a lar
ger portion of our agricultural labor
to the cereal and grasses and to the
production of animal food and labor
ing stock. We can produce fruit
crops, rice, sugar, tobacco, Sisal hemp
and nil other fibres] for the produc
tion of the immense quantity of bag
ging we annually consume; and we
can, if we would, add at least twenty
live per cent, to our annual revenues
on the fleece of sheep and of the vari
ety of valuable goats.
The vast range of our productive I
capacities admits of not the first rea
sonable cxcuso for the over product
of any single crop. The course we j
aye pursuing is gratuitous self-mur
der. It is not alone that it is ruining i
us pecuniarily; but that with pecuni
ary ruin, in this case, comes the loss
of social dignity—-the sinking down
gradually into the condition of mere
peasantry, whose scanty earnings do
not permit of generous food, or the
means of mental, social and religious
culture.
If ever a case called for a corps of
Peter the Hermits, to rouse up the
people to a sense of their danger and
the great yawning gulf of ruin before
them, we think this is one. Why do
the Grangers fail to appreciate the
crisis ?
Commendable Economy. —The North
Carolina Constitutional Convention,
lately in session, was an economic
and business-like body. The entire
expenses, including the paj r and mile
age of its one hundred and nineteen
members, were only $23,836, and the
business of the convention was trans
acted iu thirty-six working days.
This was business and economy com
bined in a degree which presets a
good example for imitation by other
legislative bodies.

G RANGE AFFAIRS.
[From tlie Atlanta Constitution.]
Tho executive committee of the na
tional grunge in their annual report
discuss ot considerable length the
conduct and workings of the busi
ness agencies in the several States.
Many ( ,f those agencies are acknowl
edged to bo unsatisfactory, and all
have fallen far short of tho benefits
which could bo realized under a more
perfect and uniform system. Most of
tho agents are doing business on tho
usual commission plan, making little
or no distinction between the member
and those who are not members, and
that too without co-operating with
the other agencies, and thus display
ing a jealousy which is customary
among rivals hut in its consequen
ces is full of evil to the order. The
committee denounces the whole com
mission system, and urges the impor
tance of paying competent agents a
stated salary, on the ground that a
State grange can in no other way be
fairly and ecodomically served, Add
to this an adoption by the national
grange of a permanene, uniform and
co-operative business system, and the
order will soon have “a foundation
upon which they may build a super
structure with a cohesivo force that
will bid defiance to its opposers, and
grow in strength as it increases in
age, benefiting in just proportion the
poorest and the wealthiest, the hum
blest and the proudest of its wssoci-!
ated members.”
The executive committee issued a j
! circular some time ago to the officers
of the State granges, calling their at-:
tentiou to the evils of the commission |
system. This was done to prevent so
far as possible any increase in that di
rection, and the whole subject of co
operation in business is now before
the national grange. It seems to be
understood that the plan of paying a
state agent a stated salary, either di
rectly from the treasury of the state
grange or by a per cent charged upon
the amount of the bills of purchasers
to be paid directly into the stata
treasury, will be adopted.
The report of Secretary Kelley is
full of interesting facts. Only 686
granges out of 25,263 have been con
solidated, suspended or had their
charters revoked since the first intro
duction of tho order. Tho [laying
membership is now 762, 2G3, while
the increase of new granges for the
past month was 62, lueiana is now
the banner state, and Missouri next,
but more granges have been oi gan
ized in Texas during the past eight
months than in any other State.

of the Order, and Sister Smith a

Site Had the Proofs.
(Detroit Free Press.)
1 The other evening a Detroit joker
slipped a pink love letter into the
pocket of a staid old citizen as they
were riding on the street ear. Of
; course the old citizen’s wife made a
dive for his overcoat pockets as she
passed through the hall, and when
she had digestedjthe letter she de
termined to commit suicide. While
going up stairs after her bonnet, she
j got mad and changed her mind.
I Walking into the room where he sat,
before a cheeerful tire, she exclaim
ed:
“Lovesyou better than her own
j life, eh ?”
“Who—what?” he inquired.
“And she wants to know how that
lmldheaded wife of yours gets along,
eh V”
“I really-—can’t—”
“And she wants SSO to buy her a
set of fur, does she ?”
“Why, Mary—why, what are you
talking about ?”
“Oh ! it’s come out,—l’ve got the
proofs!” she shouted, making a dash
for his liair.
The worthy man has sworn the
most solemn oaths to his innocence;
offered to let her employ a detective
jto shadow him; accounted for every
hour of his absence during the last
year, and furnished fifty theories in re
-1 gard to the letter, and jet the wife
coldly remarks that she is staying
there solely on the children’s ac
count.
The Richmond Enquirer gives the
following touching scene: As soon as
the funeral service at the new-made
grave of Colonel Thomas Jefferson
Randolph w'as concluded, and before
the grave was filled up, a veteran ne
gro stepped forward and asked if
t here was any objection to a service
by his people. He was told that
such a tribute would be acceptable to
the family, and then a scene that
should go down in history was enact
ed. Quietly Mr. Randolph's former
slaves assembled around him, and
then swelled up from a hundred negro
voices that most pathetic of hymns:
t!ooin“Aml a soldier of the Cross,
A follower of the Lamb ?”
A gentleman who w'as present says
that in his whole life, extending over
seventy years, he never witnessed any
thing so touching. When the last
notes died away amid the oaks of
Monticello, there was not a dry eye in
the vast assemblage,

Stephen B. Brinkley, the wife mur
derer of Newnan, who has been play
ing the part of an insane man since
he was convicted and sentenced to be
hung, will doubtless be executed to
morrow, the committee of physicians

tigate his case having reported him
to bo “sane and responsible for his
acts.”

Washington, Nov. 22, 1875. )
It is with profound sorrow that the
President has to announco to tho peo
ple of the United States the death of
the Vice President, Henry M ilson,
who died in tho Capital of the nation
this morning. Tho eminent station
of the deceased, his high character,
his long career in the service of his
State, and of the Union, his devotion
to the cause of freedom and the abili
ty which he brought to the discharge
of every duty, stands conspicuous and
ure indelibly impressed on tbe hearts
and nffections of the American peo
ple. In testimony of respect for this
distinguished citizen and faithful
public servant, the various depart
ments of government will be closed
on the day of tho funeral, and the
Executive Mansion, and all the exec
utive departments in Washington,
; will be draped with badges ot mour: -
ing for thirty days. The Secretary of
War and the Secretury of tho Navy
will issue orders that appropriate
military and naval honors be render

tues and services will long be borne
iu recollection by a grateful nation.

Hamilton Fisu, Secretary of State.
Nearly all the courts in the coun
try have adjourned in respect to M il
son. The Supreme Court of the
United States will transact no busi
uess this week. Delegations have
been appointed from various places
to come to Washington to attend the
funeral cerimonies. The first brig
ade of Maryland National Guards
have tendered their services to the
President as a guard and escort.
The special session of tbe Senate
called in April last, after an exciting
caucus, selected by a majority vote of
one, Thomas W. Ferry, of Michigan,
as against Henry B. Anthony, of
Rhode Island, the competitor, for
the place. There has been no change
in tho Senate since. AH the new
members participated in the caucus
deliberation which brought about the
nomination. There is no doubt that
if the Senate, at its next meeting does
not reverse its selection of last April
that Ferry will be the presiding of
ficer. The revised statues contain
the following : In case of the remov
al by death, resignation or inability
of both tho President and Vice-Presi
dent of the United State3, tbe Presi
dent of the Senate, or, if there be
none, then the Speaker of the House
of Representatives for the time being
•shall act as President uutil the dis
ability is removed or anew President
elected.
THE GRANGERS.
Louisville, November 23. —In the
National Grange a committee was
appointed to arrange a special mar
riage ceremony for Grangers. The
resolution establishing an official or
gan at Louisville or elsewhere was
not favored. A committee was ap
pointed to memorialize Congress to
establish a scientific bureau on grass
hoppers, caterpilars, Ac. Resolution
condemning mortgaging crops were
referred.
A Yankee Farmer and His Fat Cat
tle. —Franklin county has long been
famous for its fat cattle, but the forty
seven head now standing in the sta
bles of George W. Jones at Deerfield,
go a little ahead of anything yet seen
in the county. They re all Dur
hatns, great fellows, so large that they
can hardly move themselves, the
heaviest yoke weighing 4,600 pounds,
the next 4,400, and the whole averag
ing over 4,000 per yoke. They are
fed eight quarts a day each of meal
and bran, and all the hay they want;
water is supplied to the r mangers in
pipes. Those now in stall will be
taken to Boston about Christmas,
when Mr. Jones will stock up for .the
winter, his usual supply being eighty
or ninety cattle, GOO or 700 sheep, and
about a dozen horses. Last year he
cut about 350 tons of hat - , all of which
he fed out, and some seventy-five tons
more. The cattle are kept in a sub
basement of the barn, which has to be
well ventilated during tho winter else
it would become oppressively warm
from the number of cattle confined
there. The sheep are kept on the
floor above. Mr. Jones puts upon
his own land, which lies along the
West bank of tho Connecticut river
for half a mile, all the manure from
his stock, raising twelve or fourteen
acres of heavy tobacco every year,
for which he gets prices considerably
above that paid for tobacco grown by
patent fertilizers. In tact, he is one
farmer who has found out how to
“make farming pay.” —Springfield
