There is no-Butm “sentiment" adrift

that the strongest “sentiment" in fa

“drifting” from the A'i'tatn I'm,: I Hu

mightily before it reaches the wire

Now is (ho J is!i ■.
Fanners oi Southwest (i■ or;. it. now
is the time for you to decide how
much you are to be affected by the
relative prim s of provisions and cut
ton next winter. We have noticed
for the past four years when you were
unable to get more than from seven
to twelve cents per pound for your
cotton you would grit your teeth and
say naughty worths when you Lad ir
hid in at these prices by your mer
chants to pay for bacon at from
eighteen to twenty cents p r pound.
Then you would aver in this condi
tion that you intended to make your
own provisions and “let cotton go to
the and 1 next year.”
Still, mne-tonths of the farmers of
this section continue to plant mere
cotton than they can properly culti
vate, but not enough to pay them out.
at the end of the year. I'ou can’t
hire labor and raise cotton at an aver
age of nine cents, and have enough
V • _ ' '
lijft to run your farm another year,
and just so long as you try it, you will
he in a tight, when your faxes are to
he paid and have to buy bacon on
credit at ruinous prices. Unless you
raise an abundant supply of corn and
provisions you will gradually lose
your property and march rapidly
down to poverty. Four more such
years as the four last past, when cot
ton has ranged at from seven to twelve
and bacon at from eighteen to twenty
cents per pound, will settle your es
tates without an ex uitor. Ji nk the 1
prediction.
AW is tlie time to make your good
resolutions to raise your own provis-!

Washin’otox, D. C., Abareli 17. 187<>.
Tile only method by which the
) country discovers that republican
Senators ami Representatives svmem
i ber the existence of that instrument
we denominate “the C ■ .t it: ,i ion,"
is when every now and thou one ol
them has an amendment to pi .•peso.
i So many amendments will ultimately
be tacked on to the original, if tbeii
| wishes are complied with, as to rcii
d t the wisdom and state..mn;.snip <7
j our forefathers practieu.’.y of i.oci-
I feet, and to substitute theia for the
partisanship and folly of tho :r!vo
cat< iof tho “higher iaw.” if is re
freshing at least to see Mho e who in
. tile last ten years have so opened af
fected to despise and ignore this o r, at
political compact, exhibit a recollec
tion of its ( xis fence, eve n if it is but
to propose some change in its pro
vision. Since an opportunity is thus
afforded of drawing a parallel be
tween the motives of political link
ers and patriotic lawmakers a.u,l of
making a comparison which cannot
fail to be productive of good results.
Tin latest Sort: in the direction of
Constitution cobbling, is the r< solu
tion offered by no less a peibouage
than O. I*. Ai rt ui, which propose
the aholishun nt of the electi rat col
lege as now provi led for and the elec
tion of l’lvsi,lent and Vice lYc--ideal
directly by the pimple.
Unlike 11 : -f measures propo e<l bv
this individual, this has the merit !
brill;' snggixsleil by the most disiuter
i listed motives. For surely no reason
able in,-in e.iu doufet for an instant
that if once the people yet an oppor
tunity to speak directly mnl personal
ly on thin subject, they will very ; non
decide the claim of men like Morton
i and delegate them to a life-lung re
tirement.
If the people are to choose aPi i
■ dent, then the country limy rest as
! sured that Mr. Morton’s further ca
i ret r will he brief, in the direction of
I the White J lon so, and the name may
he said of nil others of his ilk. There
fore do I affirm that this amendment
was offered by the .Senator from pure'
lv disinterested and patriotic motiv ,
a fact which will bo all the more sur
prising since this is the first time in a
long life that he has ever boon guilty
of such an act, or given way to such
motives.
The resolution will, in all probabil
ity, never get beyond the committee
j room, since there is a w ry well found
ed opinion that Morton’s qualitica
! tions for making a Constitution can
bo expressed in the language of
Charles Lamb, who, speaking ol
Shenkspeare’s Works, said that “lie
could have written them, if he had a
mind to.”
Several leading colored citizens of
tlie District, of Columbia have present
ed to the Senate, through Mr. Fre
linglmysen, a petition, asking that, in
view of the fact that the 14th of April
next will he the aniversnry of the
emancipation of slaves in the District
of Columbia, and also of the uis-o i
liatiou of Abraham Lincoln, and that
the freedmen of the country have
creeled a monument to the memory
of President' Lincoln, in ’Lincoln
Square, [be day mentioned lie made a
holiday to all persons employed m the
several denari meats of tho Govern-,
in.'llt, in Washington. The petition
was accompanied by ajoint resolution
to this effect.
If passed, as it will in all likelihood,
it will be a sort of seqniturto tho res
olute m recently pa.-. I. making
AV.i'-liingt in’s birth day a legal holi
day: by all means let us have as many
holidays as possible.
The fall of Belknap, an 1 the rum
bling of tho thunders of the future in
ve. : igatioiiH, seem to have reached
7'finistcr Washbiinie across the At

structed his son, Gratiot Wasliburne,
to r, i;;1 1 las po ol ,u in St. Ri'ters

circus." Now, on • onu readily appre
ciate the pang it will give a AVasli
burne to resign an office, an t the
special of tho ire of the paternal W.
■ something glorious and Brutus-like
ill i:s character; yet, we fail to discov
er tlie’euormity of the son’s offense.
He merely advertised for performers
lin the ling, and In is r< quisled to
1 resign bv liis iiuliguant parent, vvbih'
S 'hem'k and oilier “perfornil !•:. in tbe

-nine is true of all the “performers in

d.ililui they are in the political circus,
i the more am their rorvkva appreci
ated. Vide Wm. J. ALurtaeb, lores

Judge Taft, the new War Seerota
! rv, is a good ea y kind of a man, who
j comes vithout experience from an ob

If Bonaparto bad made as many
an,! glaring mistakes in the selection
of ids officials as le:s lie si made by
Pr,e iit. ut Grant during his i wo terms,
the * I'eiich pcoeee woul I have gili
belc.l him as a pretender, instead of
lauding him as a hero, and wo: -hip

' sins are likely to be. those of ommis

the example of liis predecessor ba
llot been lost upon him.
Air. IVndletou is here and has been
! before the committee, and < ffcetuaily
enisle and out the slanderous stones
about him” (to use his own language.)
It is proved to be an idle and. sensa
tional tale gotten up as so many of
those tilings arc for political effect,
and which call be explained without
difficulty. Of course the republicans
will sock in OY-ry way to throw the
committee off on important matters,
that they may have more time to pre
pare for the future difficulties which
stare them in the face.
i On Friday last the committee on
patents ma lea report to the House,
in which every woman in our country
feels a vital awl per. onal interest. I
refer to their refusal to farther extend
the patent of the Wilson Hewing ma
chine. Probably nothing done in the
House will ultimately result in more
positive end general benefit than the
action of the commit teo ill this case.
From 1m ing u.sijkil corporations, these
machine companies, have become gi
gantic and wealthy monopolies, which
seem never satisfied with past enor
moii ; gains, wrung from the hands of
the few, yet must ever be reaching
and grasping for more. It is a good
, thing thing that their career has been
| checked, and I doubt not that in the
I course of a year or two machines can
be bought for s2(l which are now
: held at s7o, and their benefits thus be
brought within the reach of the poor
est and humblest families in the land.

of reforming nml elevating the
froedimui was to bo continued.
The State, although nominally bound
to inrni.-h schools for the cob;red
population, had m ide very llttl 1 pro
vision to that end. A h v colored
schools were iiMUileiiied for three
I montlis of each year, but tlio number
of these was grossly inadequate, and
in many cases the three montie;
schooling dwindled into one. The
present seliool commi ..-inner of Geor
gia had of late been endeavoring to in
crease the number and quality of the
schools, but the p,in u'er pi ehidi a w w
s.i much against the o tii.it it was
found almost impossible) to effect any
thing. White teachers could not lie
i found for the work, and the colored
men ’who were capable were excluded
on the most frivolous pretexts. The
ci>h >red graduate -of tln r At!ml a Uni
versity, of which lie was President,
wive rejected by the local school com
mLssiom rs because they labored un
der the disability of .being educated
at an institution where the white and
: black teachers sat down at the same
table*. The, same spirit of ostracism
and exclusion prevailed aim ist < very
; where. A white lady from Illinois,
who came down as a teacher among
: the blacks of Middle Georgia after
the war, was driven from the hotel in
- the town where she stopped, refused
[admission to private hftitnes, and
| forced to take up her residence in a
; negro cabin. Perhaps after all these
years she might he allowed to stop at
the hotel, hut the social hatred against
her wool 1 fee an strong as ever.
The speaker then alluded to the
material condition of the negroes,
which was the poorest compatible with
existence. Wages were down to star
vation rates, and were kept thereby
combinations on the part of the plan
ters and employers. ' In the proceed
ings of a convention of Grangers, re
corded in the Columbus Fnijnirr.r of
January 5 last, it was stated in an ex
ultant manner that the wages of men |
had at last boon got down to $(0 per
year, including rations, and those of a ■
woman to s2)l. In the busy cotton
picking season men received twonty
fi>. •• ruts per day, ami at ihe present
time thou amis were working for ten
and even six emits per day, with ra
tions. In many localities tho farmers
and planters had, either through neg
ligence or intent to deft and, failed to
pay tbe laborers this scanty pit tance,
and tlio unfortunate blacks were nim
ble to collect their hard-earned dues.
0:i some plantations there were hun
dreds of men with no other food than
raw turnips. Such was tho state of
affairs along the railroad from Atlan
ta to AAV.4 I’,cut, that 15,01)0 negroes
had emigrated to tho Southwest with
in.a few weeks past, and the most fer
t He sections of (leorgia were becoming
depleted ei lnbori rs. <)f late this con
st till t oiutlow of the laboring popula
tion bad somewhat, alarmed tile wild -;
and they were now considering by
what means they could prevent, tile col
ored people from leaving the State.
But it wa- not ni-rely cheating, liar
rassing, and ovciTeaehiiig the jiegro
that had operated to produce this
c iiiiviuous emigration. The planters
in two many cants ware (lisp; ised to re
turn in all things to the old planta
tion!!-. :hods, ai-.l in Bam:: of the es
tate.; the old time practice of whip
ping the field hands had been reviv

whipping bis “niggers" just as lie did

Grape FuiUuv.
An Alabama contemporary sets
forth in the following paragraph the
advantages of grape culture in the
S mth:
Vim .', ix y< ars I ram- plant, have this
year veildcd an average of i.brei bush- '
els to each vise, and we shall be
[ disappointed if liny do m.t double
every year for ninny years iu the
future. We are credibly informed
i that a vine is growing near Mobile
I w!ifell In ;;, bi il 2d!) b ; held of
grapes in a year, ai. l v.v know that
vines ten years old lave given and will
give 80 bushels per vine. A bush lof
grapes will give from three to three
arid a half gallons of juice, act i;r ling
to ripeness. Bv a simple calculation,
based upon the above facts, it can i
easily be seen that grape culture is
exi'i dingly protihdi’o. ‘six years old
vines will yield three bushels of

I would give Js(>t) gallons of wine, worth
lat present prices, $720. According to
: the statements given above, a ten!
years old viuvuvd will yield 1,080
bushels, or gallium of wine per -
acre, worth $7,200 in the market. If
you want to make money, plant grape
vines.

casion in Muiiticello the other day to
ahiii.e and slander the Southern peo
ple ami their leaders in the late war.
We mention this merely to advise oar
merchant sto give their orders to
those who, whatever their opinions,
have at least somo respect for the
feelings of those whoso patronage
they are soliciting. “Give bin a cold
