TIIOMASTON, GA., FEB 12, ’7<L
CONGRESS ANI) GEORGIA.
AVe are led to infer from the tenor
of late Washington dispatches that
Congress is still considering the Geor
gia question. The Republican par
ty is represented in Washington by
two wings, one favoring anew elec
tion of Lnited States Senators while
the other party are urging Congress
not to disturb the election of the pres
ent Senators, Hill and Miller. The
late news seems to indicate very clear
ly, that there will be no election for
Senators until the term for which
Hill and Miller were elected shall ex
pire. For our awn part we are per
fectly indifferent as to the course of
Congress on the Senatorial question,
for if Cougrooa cunciucies mat the
election of Hill and Miller was legal
Miller will doubtless he rejected, as
he will be unable to take the test
oath. If this is done, Dr. Miller’s
place will be filled by Blodgett, and
we will then have Hill and Blodgett
as our Senators. We had just as soon
be represented in the National Coun
cils at once, by Blodgett and Eph
Tweedy, as by Hill and Blodgett.
TIIE DEFICIENCY IN LABOR SUP
PLIED BY USE OF FERTILIZERS.
We ask the attention of our read
ers to the following extract from a
private letter on the use of Fertili
zers :
‘‘l had on my plantation last year thirty
hands, and produced one hundred and fif
teen bales of cotton. I have only twenty
hands this year, but by the use of good
fertilizers intend to increase the yeild of
cotton to one hundred and fifty bales. In
this way, I expect to supply the deficiency
in labor. This can be done very ea-ily,
and onr planters should give it their atten
tion.”
The above extract is from a plan
ter of experience. He has used the
different commercial manures for the
last teree years, and knows wheieof
he speaks. His idea of snpplying the
deficiency in labor by the use of fern
tilizers is a good one, and we Tvould
be glad to see our farmers adopt it.
Labor is decreasing each year, and
onr planters will be compelled to re
ciency. "’"'Acfopt the idea of the writer
referred to, and call on Messrs. At
water & Sharman or Messrs. Suggs
& Olipbant, and procure your fertili
zers.
We find the following com
munication in the Constitution of the
Bth inst., calling on the people of
Georgia to assemble in Convention,
in Atlanta, before the re-assembling
of the Legislature, to take into con
sideration the pecuniary interest of
Georgia. We agree with the corres
pondent, that the political affairs of
Georgia must grieve the heart of
every honest man, no matter what
his political opinions or predilections
may be. But that a Convention
could do any good, wc cannot “ see
the point.” We are completely un
der the control of the military au
thorities, and what influence a Con
vention would have with this tyrani
cal authority is enveloped in mistery ?
We think it would be money spent
in vain. As we have said before, the
yoke is upon us and we must bear it
for the present. But when the mad
ness that rules the hour has passed
away, and reason again enthroned,
"Then sectional hatred has vanished,
and patriotism, true patriotism, burns
afresh in the breast of every white
man in Georgia, then we may look
for better times. But while the law
making powers are controlled by
sectional hatred and prejudice, and
look only to the interest of party
and not to the good of the whole
country, we can expect nothing good
though we have a Convention every
week. The only hope we have is
couched in the old adage, “the dark
est hour of the night is just before
day.” We flatter ourselves that the
Radical party has about run its race,
we know* it is too rotten to live long.
When it is dead we may look for bet
ter times. A Convention can do no
good:
A Convention of the People in Atlan
ta —Georgia must be Saved.— Mr. Editor :
The state of political affairs are ominous of
evil, and only evil. It must grove the
hfart of any man, no matter win ; his po
litical opinions or predilections r.t ly be—
whether he be old line Democrat> * Whig,
Republican or Secesssionist—to fee and
kn< w the demoralized condition of our
Stite Government in all its departments,
and the utter lethargy that prevades the
masses. Chaos is the watchword of party ;
trouble and poverty its sequence. Cm
anythiug be done to restore order, give con>
fidence and securing to the laboring, suf
ficing tax payers of the State? Gan the
evi! be reached by a convention of the peo
ple ? Let the effort be made before the as
sembling of the Legislature. Let us forget
party ditierences and party ascendadcy for
once, invite all men, regardless of party,
who hare the interest of the country at
heart, to meet in Atlanta, and if possible
unite on one policy, one platform. Liber
ty without lawlessness, and the administrar
tion of law without the intervention of the
sword, should be the patriotic desire of
every truly loyal Georgian. Inaugurate
the movement, the people will respond.
D.
BOVINE GOVERNMENT.
Atlanta, G a, F<.b. 10, 1870.
Mr. JJdilor. —Lemons and fine
drink, good cigars and theatre money,
spring lounges and 1 r ashti by gaslight,
a fancy walking cane and feast for
the appetite, a State Treasury to foot
the hid, are bully things in a bovine
Government. These luxuries belong
to some of our partisan rvho
am sincere, parasitic “trooly loil”
fellows lidding easy and are
masters of the poor. They vindi
cate their own impotance, sustain
their own vices and perpetrate what
ever wrongs they choose under pre
tence of authority and exercise of
power. They are consumers of our
capital, public masters instead of pub
lic servants, who labor in squandering
our money, work in plans and devices
for our torture and oppression, and
all they do is utterly destructive of
the interests of the common people.
Some of these lemon squeezers,
whiskey drinkers, fawning parasites,
and “trooly loil” bovine officials are
lying around watching and waiting
for future developments j others have
adjourned to rest, recreate and will
come again next Monday to join their
flatterers and ien w the farce. Tut the
honest farmer must work while these
wrong-doers rest, pay their recreation
and suffer when they meet. So it is
in a bovine Government , labor and
money are bestowed and expended to
support private debauchery and pub
lic ruin.
We propose, Mr. Editor, to notice
these kid gloved dignitaries and pub
lic 'wrong-doers who are true expo
nents of his bovine majesty , and en
deavor to keep you posted on what
they do antftow they do it.

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, *has any thing won so widely and so
deeply upon the coniidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through a long series of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in then* estimation, as it has become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va
rious affections of the lungs and throat, have
made it known as a reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most effectual remedy that can be given for incip
ient consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. Asa provision against
.sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should bo
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it.
When nothing else could reach them, under the
Cherry Perioral thpv subside and disappear.
Hinders and Public Speakers find great
protection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it. ..
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates of them here, or
do more than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.
Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c.,
and indeed all the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As its name implies, it docs Cure, and does not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bis
muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous
substance whatever, it in nowise injures any pa
tient. The number and importance of its cures
hi the ague districts, are literally beyond account,
and we believe without a parallel in the history
of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the
acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures
effected in obstinate cases, and where other rem
edies had wholly failed.
| Unacclimated persons, either resident in, or
i travelling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected bv taking the AGUE CUBE daily,
j For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimu

failed.
