Leave out the U cuss part ” of the
above about Judge Johnson, and we
subscribe to it fully. Fearless and in
dependent in the discharge of what
lie conceives to be his duties, he calls
no man master. Political and other
narrow minded prejudices never find
a lodgement in the breast of Judge
Johnson—strictly and purely loyal
to the law—ho knows nothing but
fairness in the administration of jus
tice. lie has a happy faculty of
winning the profound admiration and
respect of every one with whom he
comes in contact, not politically, but
simply as a Judge. And though
stern and inflexible in the discharge
of official duties, he is as amiable as
a lady. In short, he is a model
Judge. We only regret that he was
not placed on the Supreme bench of
the United States as the successor of
Mr. Justice Wayne.
Tns American Cotton Mills, Cotton
Prices and Cotton Goods. —An editorial
in the Boston Daily Advertiser says that,
during the year ending 3Pt of last Decem
ber, the average cost of raw cotton at the
mills, if reckoned by weekly purchases,
would have been thirty and a half cents, or
reckoned at the actual and varying quan
tities sold was twenty- nine and a half cents;
and the actual average of the 930,000 fifties
sold in New York for export, home c n
euinption, etc., was twenty nine cents ppr
pound fur middlings. The Futon goods
produced in these Northern factories dur
ing the same period (with few and small
exceptions) were sold at prices which did
not leave thirty cents per pound nett for
the raw material used by the manufactu
rers, and though many of the mills show a
resulting profit by their balance sheets for
the year, it was a speculative profit, accrus
ing those who had the sagacity or good
luck to buy below tho general average.
The year set in with all tho spindles at
work, but the cohsumption of cotton in the
world which in 1808 so far outran the pro-*
duotion ns to reduce the surplus stock
about 500,000 bales, was so far restrained
by high nrieps that the surplus remained
the same rb in 1808. This year set in with
twenty per cent, of tho spindles idle, re
ducing American consumption by that
amount, or about 15,000 bales a week, and
now that ic is known that tho crops is
turning out unexpectedly large, and De
cember reports from India tell of an abiincL
ant crop there, as these prospective rela
tion of demand and eupply shall becom®
visible in Europe, the policy will be to
stand (iff until the foreign demand shall
have glutted itself at present prices, or those
two or three cents lower, and no lack of an
ample suppfv will then remain for the
lurgest possible home demand.
The general aspect of the trade in do
mestic cottons is now, however, improving.
The New York Daily Commercial Bulletin,
of Tuesday evening, reviewing the week,
notes a very firm condition of the market,
with a general advance on brown sheetings
and shirtings during the week, of half a
cent, and a continued upward tendency.
Bleached goods were also firm and im
proving.
Woman Suffrage. — ilie Representative
Chamber was packed last night from gal
lery down with people to hear Mrs. 011 i ver.
Many ladies were out. The Speakeress is a
small, plump blondo, cool, easy, distinct,
and earnest. She claimed a supremacy for
women, said that the sex when in power
meant to spread the flag over the universe,
and would reach England in three years
She made a number of points that were ar>**
plauded. She urged .subscription to the
Revolution, old Susan's paper, and called
for a contribution to the woman’s cause,
which was taken up. *
She called for speakers. Mr. T. D. Wright
and Representative O’Neal spoke. The
former announced himself a Woman Suf
frage man to get the sex to help overthrow
Radicalism, lie offered some resolu-ions,
one of which was that “if we are not wo
men wo ought to be,” which were adulated.
O’Neal lugged in some Radicalism. On
Woman Suffrage he wanted ’time to think.
There was a good deal of amusement.
Wo clip the above from the Atlan
ta Constitution of the 16th instant.
Tho subject is rather anew one to
our people —one that they have never
thought much of, and the fact that it
is advocated by a female, in a “stump
speech,” makes it more novel. The
speakeress seems to have “struck ile ”
in Atlanta, by converting Capt.
Wright. The Captain is a good,
. jolly, “rollicking sort of a fellow,”
and becoming convinced “that wo
men aro & great institution, propos
ed that we all be women. For our
part, we love the women, “God bless
them,” but oppose the resolution of
Capt. Wri gbt, unless there is a strong
probability of another war.

UNITED STATES SENATORS.
The Legislature, at least a portion
of it, more properly entitled to the
name of ‘faction," on Tuesday last en
acted, what seems to us, the moat
stupendous farce of the times, by
electing three United States Sena
tors. Mr. Blodgett was elected for
the long term, begining on the 4th
of March, 1871, at which time the
term of Dr. Miller expires, and end
ing on the 4th of March, 1877. Mr.
Blodgett is too well known to the
people generally to need a word from
us. As the Bullock ‘faction’ consid
ered Dr. Miller’s election illegal they
thought it necessary to elect a man
to fill his unexpired term, which term
ends on the 4th of March, 1871, anl
selected one R. 11. Whitely, of Bain
bridge, for that position. It is very
evident from the turn of things, that
the “faction” were compelled to get
some troublesome trash out of the
way, for a clean path to Blodgett who
was elected for the term ending 4th
of March, 1877. They were very
happy in the selection of Whitely.
Whitely is known personally to a
great many citizens of Upson county,
and to those who have not the pleas
ure of knowing this distinguished
Senator, we will say, he is a man as
near destitute of merit as any we
know. lie was nominated by the
Republican party for Congress in the
second District in 1868, with a regis
tered majority of over six thousand
(blacks) in his favor. lie was op
posed by lion. Nelson Tift, and w;us
beaten by a majority between 2,500
and 3,000. Even the negroes of his
District ignored him. Being disap
pointed in his Congressional aspira
tions, he asked for, and received at
the hands of Governor Bullock, the
appointment of Solicitor General of
the South western Circuit. He has
discharged the duties of said office,
with extreme moderate ability —being
a fifth rate lawyer in that country—
until his recent rise.
The third man elected as Senator
is one Henry P. Farrow, of Atlanta.
This distinguished gentleman was
elected to take the place of lion.
Joshua Hill, who is declared by the
“ faction ” to have been illegally
elected, ami whose term of ufflee ex
pires on the 4th of March, 1873.
As between the two men, Hill and
Farrow, we are unable to choose,
they being, in our judgment, very
nearly equal in point of ability and
otherwise. But we object to Mr.
Hill’s being displaced because, in
our judgment, lie was legally elected,
and as such entitled to his seat, un
less otherwise disqualified. We know
but very little of Air. Farrow, except
that he is universally regarded as a
weak brother. He has nothing, that
we are aware of, to recommend him,
even to tho favor of the “faction,”
except a “huge set of whiskers,” a
vast rotundity, and an unsurpassed
(except by Harris, Clerk pro tem.)
ponderosity. He is the present, “so
called,” Attorney General of the
State, having been appointed by the
Governor. His abilities are certain
ly very meanly estimated by the
Governor, as the Governor had to
employ two or three little third-rate
lawyers to assist the Honorable At
torney General in filing a declara
tion in Assumpsit against Treasurer
Angier.
How the. Republicans can be satis
fied with presenting to the world
such representatives of their party
in the Senate of the United States,
we are unable to say. If the “ fac
tion ” really thought the seats of
Hill and Miller were vacant, and
they had a right to elect Senators,
why not elect men of intelligence and
respectability at home ? Why elect
such men? Why not select their
Senators from such men as Acker
man, Brown, McCay, Walker, Judges
Johnson, Greene, and Senator Har
ris, ot Newton, county, and others?
Men of intelligence and respectabili
ty.
What think the people of our
once’proud “Empire State of the
South,” that the seats in the United
States Senate, which were once oc
cupied by such men as Crawford,
Berrien, Forsyth, Dawson, Toombs,
and n. V. Johnson, are now to be
filled by such men as the “ faction ”
elected the other day. God save our
S-ete !

GREENBACKS A LEGAL TENDER.
The Supreme Court of the United
States, Chief Justice Chase deliver
ing the opinion, has decided t:ht con
tracts made prior to the Lega'Tendcr
Act, which passed Februtry 25,
1862. cannot be discharged it green
backs unless by consent of bctli par
ties. The act is unconstitutional as
to contracts prior to the date of the
act. The court does not decide as
to contracts made since the late of
the act.
THE LEGISLATURE.
As will be seen from our Atlanta
•correspondent the Legislature has
taken a recess for sixty days, “un
less earlier convened in some case, or
cases of emergency,” during which
time, we suppose, of course, the mem
bers will draw their per diem. We
know they will if they have an oppor
tunity.
This body was convened on the
10th of January last, and has been
in session intermittingly ever since.
They take recess from the IStli in
stant until the 18th of April, when
they will have been in session three
months and eight days ; and for what
good ? They have adopted the four
ffton f It. and fiftoontli o m s>*»U „so,
elected Blodgett, Farrow and. White
ly, to the Senate, and passed a resolu
tion suspending the collection of anti
helium debts. To what extent the
resolution goes we are not advised.
A correspondent of tfee At
lanta Constitution, w r riting from Mc-
Donough under date February 7th,
says:
“The ot a nogro woman, just grown,
was found by a negro man, Willis Albert,
near the residence of J. B. Keene, in the
upper part of Henry county, on the 27th
ultimo. The Justice of the Peace hud a
jury summoned, and on examination, sus
picion fell upon the step-father of tne girl,
whose name is ‘Squire Ramsey. Ramsey
was arrested by constable Hemns, ard in
an hour or two he made a full confession
He s id that the girl met him iu the old
field by agreement, put she would not con
sent to do as he wished, thereupon he struck
hor four blows with his fist on the back ot
the neck, thereby diiloca ing the cervica
bones. After he st uek the blow that
caused her death, he ravished her. He
then Fft her, and pretended to know noth
ing of her whereabouts. lie applied to
several of his neighbors to help bunt fi r
her to keep down suspicion. She was killed
on Sunday, the 23 u[timo. lie is now in
prison at McDonough.”
EDITORIAL CORRESPONPENCE.
Atunta, Ga, Feb. 17th, 1870.
Dear Herald: —Bad laws badly ad
ministered will ruin any people.
Georgia, as Bill Arp once said, is in
a “state of uncertainty.” IJer Leg
islature has adopted a resolution of
relief from anti-bellum debts, which
when approved by Gen. Terry will
remain of force until further action.
The Honorable body has adjourned
for sixty days unless sooner conven
ed by his Excellency the Provisional
Governor. During this inter-regvim
Congress will do something; what,
we cannot say. Stephens reasoned
rightly when, a year ago, he said all
power was being centralized in that
body. Certainly, “judging the fu
ture by the past,” we can hope for
nothing beneficent from them. We
are not in favor particularly of emi
gration ; but if our legislature would
emigrate somewhere during its recess
out of the hearing of His Excellency's
call, and let our State recuperate, it
might be better for us and them. By
this plan we could get our crops start
ed and the industrial class of our
people, could be better prepared to
remunerate them for their services.

TIIE OLD SOUTH AND THE NEW—A
CHEAT COUNTRY AND WHAT ITS
FUTURK .PROMISES.
From tha Courier-J ouriuU.
I beg first to thank the Green Line Com

my power of visiting States wiu.se future is
of vast commermat import nee to us aud the
wm.be N rthwest.* 1 beliefs that the ex
car-ion was auspicious in every respect,

or. I myself went South with many dis
mal fi»rebod:ngs as to toe future ot that
country, but i uui glad that the visit in
spired me with more b p*'« l North*
eastern, Niddle, and S. mewestern Georgia,
and Charleston, S »uth Carolina, and all
the way talked with whites and ireedmen,
as i met them, as to the condition ot the
country. i s oa)B hoped, m ny desponded.
OaU.-BS OF DEPRESSION.
J. The labor of the whole South is thor*
oughly disorganized. Around the railroad
depots are found large numbers of idle ne
gro s, and every train of cars carries many
of them drifting from one place to anodi -r.
From gome parts of G*o»rgia and Carolina,
'as from Virgiria, numbers emigrate West,
seduced thither by promises of high wages,
some go away because not paid by their
employer* of iasfcyear; some go to rejoin
kindred in the \N est, some from one cause
and so me from another, but hundreds have
gone and are going. Tae tide ot emigra
tion has begun, and like the Indian, the
block man begiins to disappear toward the
setting sun.
Besides, no negro women now w »rk in
the field. o>iecfifth of the former labor of
the South is thus withdrawn. Scores of
young men are seeking the work ot ttie
towns and cities. Many Ive by poli ies.
11. The Government is as destructive to
public and private prosperity as it possibly
can tie. Military rule is either present or
threatened: taxes are inconceivably op
pressive and misapplied when co ,ee el :
the decisions of the courts have cooiustd
the law : the exemption of the property
from judicial sale prohibits the collect-mu
of debts aud harases the merchant, an i iu
short every imagiuajle social and paludal
evil exists. But you wiil see, iu spite of ail
this,
TOK GROUNDS OF Hi'FE.
I. The people everywhere are inspired
with determination to wait and work.—
They cann t all abandon the country, and
they are rest lved to make the best of their
condition. To that end they try to keep up
a cheerful heart and a ready band.
11. Many white people have gone to work
in the field. This in part, supplies the loss
of the black labor. In several instances
white women have planted and gathered
the crop.
111. There is an universal use of fertili
zers by which one acre of the best lands is
made to produce, even with little labor very,
fair crops.
IV. The high price of cotton completes
the causes ot their present apiiiiy Mer
chants told me in Augusta aud Charleston
that they were now selling more goods f r
cash than they sold before the war on a
twelve nonthd’ credit. I was «uip;i**dat
this, and said to one, “How is it that, with
an old worn-out c untry all around you ;
negroes formerly in the field now lounging
at the depots or in the town, or traveling
up and dowh the roads, and an utter break
ing up of social life and the fortunes of tne
better classes: with high taxes, wicked
government, political disabilities—how is
it that your trade has increased ?” He re
ri -J, *'au,w n<go puce or Cotton, the use of
fertilizers ana the increased number of
white laborers give the people a very con
siderable prospi ri ly ; not so groat {»s'before
the war, but more than is supposed. The
blacks buy m re expensive goods, and the
whites, having uo useless ones to suiport,
no t egroes to buy, are enabled to live q me
expensively, as in former times.
To this there are local exceptions.—
Charleston is one. That city seems to have
revived less than Aug sta or Atlanta. 1
saw r but one private carriage on the street-*
’of that city, though L was there I r a par
Os three days. 1c is evident that
ELEGANT PLANTATION LIFE tS -\T AN END.
The refinement and culture that before di>-
ti iguished plantation society wiii sett e in
the cities. The plantations will be surren
dered to the poor tenants, white and bla k,
or the ami li land owner, into v>h se hands
the agriculture ot that country mu-t fall
Some plantations have, no white persons on
them —none are iu ly wuk and. it is re
markable that their schools are kept, up as
prosperously as ever by tha wealthiest
country people arid the trade people-of the
towns. Ft wer of the middle class are in the
schools than former y. The wealthy have
edough left to educate their children, and
live townspeople trade upon what i.4 made
as to have means t r this end as formerly.

The Tennessee Constitutional 0 inven

except the Governor, or,the members f tne
General Asgeniblv. and those elected at the

decided vote to except from this sweeping
provision Magistrates and the Circuit aud

The Convention voted and wn all the pr p~

to dispose of the heavy arrears of business
now on the docket, and adopted the plan ot
the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
which provides for the eleetiou of six Judges,
who are to sit in two sections for the trans
action of business. It a vacancy occurs
after January, 1873, it is to remain uufi l
