Tlip Ctnistilulloual (otivuiition.
The logislaturc of Georgia has
spoken in favor of this important
measure, by a vote of 117 yeas, to 27
nays. This largo vote in favor of
this measure wo believe to be a true
index to the sentiment of tho people
of our sorely tried, yet still grand old
commonwealth, Georgia. If so, more
than three-fourths of her population
on tho first 'Wednesday in .January,
1877, will march in solid phalanx to
the polls, and there record their sol-
emn disapproval of tho instrument, j
misnamed a constitution, that was
forced upon us in the year 18(58. Now J
what kind of an instrument was the
so called constitution of ISOS, and
who were the persons who put that
compact upon us? It is a part of the
history of the times, that nine-tenths,
or at any rate, a largo proportion of
the intelligence of the country was
disfranchised at tho time of its enact
ment ; new fledged law makers were
the fathers of that document, and
now that the operations of that sy;
tern inaugurated under that regime,
have been demonstrated to be perni
cious; now that tho voice of the peo
ple is fairly heard through represen
tatives of their own choice, it is not
surprising that they should attempt
to undo tho evils of the past, and
with truth, justice and moderation
ns their guides, build a structure that
will reflect credit upon us, and from
■which prosperity will flow in generous
streams. Tho time for acting upon
this important measure, is, we think,
well chosen, and evinces a wisdom
and statesmenship of which Georgia
may well he proud.
It is not in the din and smoke and
clamor of a Presidential contest that
tho better wisdom of tho people m
displayed, but rather in the quiet of
an amicable adjustment of homo dif
ficulties, that we can liopo for calm
and deliberate action. Till then, let
it rest, except it he to studiously ex
amined, the machinery and workings
of the present constitution, so that
when a convention of the uutrameicd
and intelligent sons of Georgia is
called to re-build the temple of her
state government, they may bo uni
ted, and act as one man in cleaning
the rubbish from oil tho site where
formerly stood that which was reared
bv our colonial faUigrs. and in erect
ing another to winch the humblest
citizen may turn with confidence, that
under its shade security
and pcaetgUKiy ever be found.

At no time rineo the close of the
war have we of the cotton states la
bored under like difficulties of the
present, cotton selling!under Die cost
of production, labor uncertain and
non productive, immigration only in
name, whilst from our roll of mer
chant princes daily aie dropping,
here and there, vetrans who have
louo stood snocks of crises anti
adversities.
The panic of ’73 lias not yet filled
its mission and not all the centennial
shows of a thousand Philadelphias
can releive us of the sunny ftouth.
Contraction is wlmt we want, but it is
the contraction of the cost of living ;
the lessening of the (h'mnition told, as
Mr. Mantulina lias it, of our annual
expenses.
The people are prone to bnv '"'J ■
thing they see, from a n-.m-saw to a
duck-leA’ 1 iind to l Jft y au - v
,* ice for it, provided they can get
time. Now there must come a day i
of settlement and ’tis an old maxim !
of trade, “the greater the risk the I
greater the profit.” Therefore put a
stop to this- universal tiuio buying,
which in the end “stingeth like a ser
pent and biteth like an adder”—what.!
you can’t pay for do without, and
what you can do without don't buy j
Cards.
We scarcely ever pick up a news
paper without seeing in it the full of
nomo once honored v oting man, the
pride of parents and the hope, of
loved ones, and till through the influ
ence of cards, invented by the devil
for the amusement of a crazy king.
It was only u few days since that a
young man highly respected and uni
versally trusted, came from Alexan
dria to Itichmond, Virginia, to make
some disposition of certain monies
held by him for an association—a
ebarnpaigno supper and a few games
of “draw” wttli a country judge,
whose rooms were at a faro-hank i:i
stead of a hotel, relieved him of ,*8,0!)0,
anif'hfl could not replace the money.
It is the fashion to play cards and to
“bet a little for amusement, just to
make the thing interesting yon know,”
but it is also the fashion to piny
marled- cards on the unsuspecting ai ’
to go for (lie "green” rapidly.

Yv v: HiNovoN, D. (!., Jan. 29, 187(1. ;
Tho last week has been one of great
importance to the democratic! party.
Its chosen representatives in Con
gress have proven that they intend to
’redeem the pledges made to the poo- j
pie in tho canvass, that all unnecoes- j
snrv expenses should he reduced. The i
| consular and diplomatic, and the
West Point Academy appropriation'
bills have been reported. 11l these;
two small hills the committee have j
made a saving of over one million of j
dollars, showing that when the larger j
bills are reached at least twenty mil- j
lions can ho saved to tho people.
HOWLING.
Tho radicals are howling like the |
spirits of tho damned over tho at
tempts of Randall and his associates,
on tho committee, to reduce the pay
of our diplomatists and consular
agents. It is well known that they
; arc the best paid class of our officials,
the salaries of ministers ranging from
1 $7,500 to 817,009, whilst a great
■ many consuls receive from $1,500 to
t $3,000 in gold for doing nothing.
Many of the useless consulates are
abolished or consolidated, and the
same course was pursued with the
ministers to the minor states. The
professors at West Point, who have
the finest quarters and tho easiest
J times of any officers of the army, have
' been receiving allowances which about
doubled their pay. This favoritism
has been stopped, and nothing but
! the regular pay duo to officers of their
j rank is allowed to these professors.
| The amount paid to the cadets is re
! duced to the sum necessary to main
tain them properly.
THE RICH TO PAY TAXES.
Mr. Morrison will, on Monday, in
i troduco a bill restoring the tax .... in
comes of over $2,500. Tins is a most
just measure, and one that should
meet the approbation of every man
in the country. It reaches directly
those most abl to pay faxes, and who
are most apt to escape the ordinary
levies. There is hardly a doubt about
: its passage, as the republicans dare not
oppose it on the eve of a campaign,
where they go in claiming to he the
j especial friends of the poor.
REDUCTION OF SAL \RITAS.
The Committee on Appropriations
have detemined on the reduction of
all salaries over $1,200 per year. The
general rata is ten per cent., but the
salary of the President is put at me
; 1 old figures, $25,000 per annum. This
s cannot take effect until after the cx
l piration of Grant’s term, so that he
- ' i unfa to receive his $50,000 ; as the
t appropriations made this year extc<3
I to the 30th of Jn“. *877, fl ' om
' the 4th of Maicli, 1877, till that day
j {’no sum appropriated to pay the
President is only one-lralf that in the
last bill. The enormous sums for ex-
I ecutive expenses have also been re
duced. The pay of Congressmen is
placed at $3,000. The military and
j naval committees are hard at work,
lopping off the excrescences that have
gradually grown into those services.
The number of clerks in the execu
tive departments will be reduced
about twenty per cent.
The House Committee on Public
Buildings nud grounds are agreed in
the proposition to ed voeato the con
, tinuatiou of necessary work on public
! buildings, but to oppose all appropri
j atiocs for now buddings.
THE SENATE.
Senator Morton lias reported, as
was expected, against the claim of
Mr. Eustis to a seat in the donate
from Hon'‘dfniu. .i he democratic
members of the Senate Committee on
j Privileges and Elections, Senators;
Saulsbury, Coope** and Merrimon,
dissented f=om the report. The bill i
defining the time when lands, granted j
to railroads, are withdrawn from
market, passed the Senate. It pro
vides that they are not withdrawn
until notice of the location is filed in
the local land office where the land is
subject to entry. The caucus of
Democratic Senators determined that
Morton should have the pleasure of
waving “the bloody shirt” alone, as
none of them will reply to his Mis
sissippi speech.
THE FEMALE SUFFRAGISTS
are holding a convention hero and
urging the adoption of female suffrage
ill the District. If Congress should
pass their bill and not, at the same
time, restore suffrage to the males
here, the experiment would be tested
of bow the women could run the Dis-
j trict Government. It is lmrdly prob
| able, however, that they will succeed
I yet awhile, though numbers of people
who, a short while ago, opposed the
idea of women voting, are now favor
| in S it.
tilde:: and jif.ndrickb
are the men most talked of for the
democratic nomination, with the
chances for the latter predominating,
bccauno of the finance question, which
will unquestionably cut a “big figure”
in the selection of a candidate. While
Hendricks does not altogether suit
, either the hard or soft money men, he
will be, taken by either wing as pro
ferublu to any of tho avowed and out
spoken men, liko Tilden and Thur
man on tho one side, or Pendleton
and Allen upon the other. Now
England asks for the second place on
tho ticket, and presents Gaston, of
Massachusetts, and English and
Ingersoll, of Connecticut.
senator rherman’s otter,
nominating Governor Hayes, is the
subject of much comment. It is
looked upon as a blow at Grant’s
third term aspirations and Morton’s
hopes of the euecessorsbip, and by
some is thought to be a shrewd move
ment in favor of Blaine, with Hayes
as second on the ticket. At any rate
it created quite a stir among tho rad
ical aspirants, and Sherman has been
tho recipient of curses, both loud and
| deep, from some of them.
THE FOREIGN NEWS
lis of little interest, continuous nc
i counts of battles in Spain, where
j each side claims the victcrj, and dis
patches from Turkey about tho fight
ling with tho Herzegovinians, are the
burden of the story. There are signs
of war between San Salvador and
| Guatamala, and of a revolution in
Mexico, hut these are to bo expected
periodically and create no emotion.
The elections in France, it is now un
i dorstood, will require the reconstrnc

A Trusty Memory. "
Before the war there was a noted
i “drummer” living with a hardware j
house in New Orleans. He was suc
j ccssful in soliciting trade, and as he
forgot a name ora face, his time
j was pretty generally occupied. In
: '57 trade was dull, and t™ Jackson,
tho “drummer,” walked into tho lit.
| Charles hotel to see if he couldn’t find
j a customer. Observing a stalwart
looking country chap standing near 1
tho registry, . Tom walked up, a
“drummer’s” smile lighting his face
the while, extending his hand thus
addressed him :
“Why, Mr. Allyn, I am so glad to
see you. Why haven’t you called in
to our house?”
“Tour house, young man ?” I
don’t know yon, much less your
house. Never saw you in my life,
i that I IvIILMV of.”
“Oh, hut I have seen you,” said
Toln
| ‘ Where’Wits?” j
“Wovent 0.. ‘i*o Bcfllo Creole I
\Uicn she was blown up on the Mis-!
sissippi, in ’51?”
“Yes, I was, and got my head has-!
ted too.”
“Well, I was on that same boat,”
I said Tom,” and as I was sitting on
j the biler when she went off, I got a
I luetic the start of you—when I was
i coming down, I mot you going up. I
never forget a face.”
“Young man, I’ve got some trace
chains to buy and you can sell ’em.”
Tom made the sale.
Labor |in Georgia.
A short time since, while comment
ing on an editorial in the New York
uuimpioyed labor
ers in the Northern cities to go
South, where agricultural labor is
needed, where, in some sections, cot
ton is going to waste for want of
hands to pick it from the open boils,
we took occasion to endorse the gen
eral views of the editor and to express
the opinion that thousands who are
now unemployed and destitute, shiv
ering and starving in the great cities, 1
would do well to come South, where j
cheap lands, predictive soil and a ge
nial climate, offered better induce- j
meats to labor than the over-crowed j
and paralyzed industries of the North.
Our object was to suggest the advan
tages of our agricultural region and
file opportunities which it offers to
| those who seek by their labor to es
; tablish a borne for themselves and
families. What we said was true in
the main. l>ut it seems wo have been
j misunderstood. Wo have received
j numerous letters from the North,
blast and West, from mechanics and
| others seeking city employment, in
quiring as to the prospect of finding
situations in their various callings in
Savannah. In answer to these inqui
rers, we have to say that our city, at
present, offers no inducement f, ir them
to come here, the supply of labor in
almost every department being great
er than the demand. Like every
other city in the Union, we are suffer-1
ing from the general paralysis of in- j
dustrial as well as business enter
prise, and many in our midst are!
without employment.
While we would advise no one, j
therefore, to change his home, with a
view to certain employment in Savan
nah, we repeat what we before said, j
that the agricultural districts of the
South offer better inducements to j
those who seek field labor, and an op
portunity to establish themselves and j
families in an independent home, than j
any other section of the Uuion.—Sa

Camp Orange, Aug. 8,18(53.
Mr. President : Your letter of 28 I
July and 2 August have been recciv- |
ed, and I have waited for n leisure
hour to reply, but I fear that will nev
er come. I am oxtremoly.obliged to yon
for the attention given to the wants
of this army, and the efforts made to i
supply them. Our absentees are re-1
turning, aud I hope the earnest and
beautiful appeal to tho country in your
proclamation may stir up tho whole}
people, and that tney may seo their
duly and perform it. Nothing is want- j
cl but that their fortitude should
equal their bravery to ensure the sue-1
cess (<f our cause. Wo must expect i
reverses, even defeats. T hey are sent |
to teach us wisdom and prudence, to !
call forth greater energies, audjto pro- j
vent our falling into greater disasters. I
Our people have only to he true and j
united to bear manfully the misfor
tunes incident to war, and will come ,
right in the end.
I know how prone we are to con
sure, and how ready to blame others}
' for tho nonfulfillment of our expecta
tions. This is unbecoming in a gen-i
j erons people, and I grieve to see its
| expression. Tho general remedy for
I tho want of success in a military com-
mander is his removal. This is nat
ural, and in many instances proper.
For, no matter what may be the abili
ty of the officer, if ho loses tho confi
dence of his troops, disaster must
sooner or later ensue.
I have been prompted by these rc
i flections more than once since my ro
j turn from Penn;ylvanin to propose to
! your excellency the propriety of se
lecting another commander for this
! army. I have seen and hoard of ex
} pressions of discontent in the public
} journals at tho result of the expedi
tion. I do not know how far this
feeling extends iu the army. My
} brother officers have been too kind to
report it, and so far the troops have
been too generous to exhibit it. It is
fall, however, to suppose that it does
exist, and snece: is so necessary to
us that nothing should be risked’ to
; secure it. I therefore, with all sin
cerity, request your excellency to take
measures to sup; !y my place. Ido
this with the more earnestness be
cause no one is more aware than iny
self of my inability for the duties .of
my position. I cun not even accom
plish what I myself desire. How can
} I fulfill the expectations of others?
jln addition, I sensibly feel the daily
growing failure of my bodily strength.
I have not yet recovered from the at
tack I experienced the past spring. I
am becoming more and more incapa
ble of exertion, and am thus prevent
!ed from making the personal esami
j nation, and giving thu,pcrsonalsuper
j vision to the operation in the field,

j!y urge the matter more pressing!,’
j upon your excellency from my belief
i that a younger and abler man than
; myself can be readily obtained. I
j know that ho will have as gallant and
| brave an army ns ever existed to scc
j oud his efforts, and it would be the
j happiest day of iny life to see at its
head a worthy leader; one that would
accomplish more than I could per

Tin: Sf.t AND THE WuVTHER.— TiIe
'astronomers have been noting that
j the sun of late lias been remarkably
j free from snots, and during the pori
|od there lias been very warm and
| spring-like weather. About two weeks
j ago, however, the sun was found
quite spotted again, and at the same
time ibe thermometer began to fall.
This was the case not only in this
country, but in .Europe, and the Paris
correspondent of the New York Times
writes that, the weather suddenly
i changed there to the coldest, rawest
I and most disagreeable weather of the
| season. This fact has again given life
I to tin: theory that there is a relation
between Hie sun spots mid the tem
perature nppn this planet. Mr. Lock
ycr, the English astronomer, reported
about the first of January that lie
found the sun perfectly free from
spots, and inferred that it might, in
dicate a period of very mild weather.
The very same day Father Sccei made
the same observation in Rome. Nei
ther astronomer asserted that there
would be mild weather on earth be
cause the sun was spotless, but both
inferred that this might be the case,
and such has been the casein fact.
The difficulty about the theory is to
afford an explanation how the great
er heat of the sun, presumably indi
cated by the absence of the spots, is
so quickly transmitted to the atmos
phere of the earth. Sucannah News.
THE I'UOHTJtATE'STATE. j
Alarming Destitution In the Lower Dls
(rids of Smith Carolina.
Beaufort Co.,S. (’., Jan. 2-I.—Nev
er within tho memory of man Ims I
there been such suffering for food as
is now experienced in some of the
lower districts of South Carolina, em
bracing Barnwell, Beaufort, and parts
of Colleton and Charleston counties.
Tho writer has mingled extensively j
with the people, and tho knowledge j
gained of their condition is simply
appalling. Starvation is staring hun
dreds of them in the face, and a much
larger number will scarcely he able to
drag through the months before the }
ground can yield food, even with the
most rigid practice of economy.
Strangely enough, the whites, who |
own most of the property, are the I
greatest sufferers. Their means were ;
used last year to advance supplies to
hands cn the farms; the drought not }
only cut of the white man’s crop, but
left the negroes without money to pay j
the proprietor. The factors smarting j
under heavy losses, refuse further ad-1
vances, and, besides, press for instant
payment under penalty of a wholesale
disposal of proprietor by the sheriffs.
The negroes have turned to killing
what few hogs, cows, and sheep be
longing to the whites and blacks, and
to pillaging houses. Numbers of ■.
Ihese people are such actual sufferers
that, to their darkened minds, rob-;
bery is not merely their only resort, j
hut a legitimate means of liveliaood.
Work is not to he had, save in excep
tional cases, for those who once gave
employment aro without the means: of
paying wages any longer.
With these conditions pressing up
on the people in January, they look
forward to February, March, and
| even April and May, with gloomy
} forebodings. What will become of
| the mass of people it is difficult to de
j cnle. They are in as much need of
l Government supplies as the Indians,
}or other starving# people; hut were
I these rations issued they would, as
mini, he given to tho worthless, who
j would only return thanks by contin
ued thefts and idleness. Can not
there be devised a plan whereby re
lief might come and labor bo rctuvn
i ed in some way ? — N. Y. Sun.
Propagation of Diseases by Bibbs.—
There are few more mysterious travel
! ers than tunes and diseases. Anew
j tune comes out in London, and six
wggUs later it may bo heard whistled
by boys iu some obaenro and distant
village, to which it has found its way
| in some manner best known to itself.
It is the same with diseases, which
| creep over the country silently, swiftly
and surely, although their means of
transit, baffle the skill of the most,
! intelligent members of tho medical
profession to divine. Anew theory
has now been started, that the foot
and-mouth diseases, which is so pre
valent among cattle, is conveyed from
one district to another, notwithstand
ing all the precautions taken agaiuot
its spread, by birds. A wood pigeon
lias, according to the Elgin Con rant,
oeen lately shot n .-nr Elgin, wbioLUac
been declared by veterinary surgeons
aud competent medical authorities to
have been evidently affected by foot
and-mouth disease at tho time of its
dcatn. The body of the unfortunate
bird lias, it is stated, been sent to the
veterinary department of the Privy
Council office, and may throw new
light on the subject. Another disagree
able notion has also arisen that soap
is an active agent iu the propagation
of disease. The New York physicians
have arrived at the conclusion that a
terrible amount of illness j® occasioned
by the -m.punin-s contained in soap, |
especially in scouted soap.— Ta'l Mall

Extraordinary Weather is New
England. —To-day completes the 4tb
week of some of the most extrnordi
! dinary winter weather known to this
generation. For the first ten days,
the days were bright and balmy, with
occasional unexpected showers, quite
! after the happiest manner of April,
i Then, followed an interval of fall
| weather, with frozen roads, since
j which we have had a rainy season,
with only one or two days that could
be called raw in the whole month.
: The effect of such weather on New
England vegetation is problematical,
but the genua homo meet it with gen
eral and indiscriminate fault-finding.
There is a very strong superstition in
this climate in favor of an “old-fash
ioned hard winter,” and, if people
don’t got it, all sorts of diseases are
attributed to the default. Asa mat
ter of fact avo believe that, m spite of
the prevalence of diptheria and a few
special diseases, mild winters are less
destructive to the species than severe
ones.—Ex.
