Ho ro p]U-d : “I) 1 Radical «oul. ho is the test Ju l»e we e *« / had.”— Constitution. 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. Sgsk* A letter from Salt Lako states that the Mormon schismatics havefromeda tern* porary church organized Oft led he ‘ Church of Zion,” which is a little more liberal than Brigham Young’s al h'HJgh it contains mahy of the most objectionable points of tho old organization. Polygamy is neither advocated nor condemned, but the princi ple of tithing is continued- Joe Smith, the eon of the ancient founder of Monnonism, who is rppved to polygamy, is expected to bee rrt lie leader of the new mouement. The scliioui appears to be complete and powerful, and consul* ring the ments of railroads and CoDgrrs*, it is as sumed that the 1 alter days of the Latter Day Shinte have com*. - \ * 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 ! TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. Special to the Telegraph and Messenger.

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. Respectfully, A. TIIE OLD SOUTH AND THE NEW—A CHEAT COUNTRY AND WHAT ITS FUTURK .PROMISES. From tha Courier-J ouriuU.

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. EUR PEAN J aB R.

I'i ’ cutties may intimidate the weak, Init th**y act only as a whole-mam stimulus to non of pluck and resolution. All experience of life serves to prove that the impediments ;tm wn :n the way of human advancement, may, fer the m st part, be overcome by steady, g>M C induct, honest zeal, activity. persereran; e. above ail, by a determined resolution to surra unc difficulties and stand manfully against misfortune. Everything we h-aru is tne mastery ot a difficulty, and the mas tery of one helps us to tbe mastery of others. Things which at first sight appear to be comp .ritivety vaiuiess in education are really of the greatest practical value, not so much f« r the information they yield, as because of the development they compel. The ni-AvStery of these studies evokes eflf rt and cultivating powers of application which otherwise might have lain dormant. Thus one thing leads to another, and so the work goes on thr mgh li ‘e, encountering difficul ty ending only where life and progress end. Tmnc s.see Advertiser. The Tennessee Constitutional 0 inven tion. —The discussion, in the Tennessee Constitutional Convention of Tennessee, upon the question of vacating all the Judi cal offices up n the nvifieivi >« of the a mended Constitution, was at fever heat on the 7 th. The amendment of Mr. Key, providing rh:u -li the civil officers shall hold- their office* until th« Ist d;iy of November ,un • f.-s tber term of service previously expire, was laid on the table. A section in lieu w■ i- then ad pted, providing that all officers except the Governor, or,the members f tne General Asgeniblv. and those elected at the g neral election of March, 187“, shall vacate ttieir places on tbe ratification of this Con stitution. The Convention refused by a decided vote to except from this sweeping provision Magistrates and the Circuit aud Chancery Courts. The last Tnursday in Ju-y has been fixed upon as the day lor electing judicial officer* to fill the vacancies** The Convention voted and wn all the pr p~ ositions for a temporary Supreme Court, 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 ed, and thereafter the Supreme Court will be composed of only five Judges.— Era.
