Representatives is increased to three hun
dred under the apportionment bill, as
amended by the Senate on Monday. AY ith

hundred and forty-four. Georgia will gain
three members, under this new apportion
ment, giving her ten members of the House.
UNCLE SANDY MURRAY.
We took occasion some time since to ref?r
to the tact, that Uncle Sandy, was engaged
in writing articles for the Empire State, on
the, “rights of minorities,” and commented
on said articles ; whereupon, the aforesaid
Uncle Sandy, gives us what he is pleated
to call it, advice, as we are young, &c., We
must be allowed in all kindness to say, that
when we are in want of advice, we gener
ally apply to those who are capable of
giving it. Owing to our inexperience, we
stre very careful from whom we take advice,
for in our begining, we do not desire to be
led astray. For that reason, we certainly
will not call on Uncle Sandy. The old
gentleman certainly has a good soul, but
his ideas are terribly perverted as can be
readily seen by reference to his general
physiognomy. Uncle Sandy in the course
of his half column lecture to us, says : “We
have lived in the world long enough to have
learned by observation that it is all impor
tant for a young man when starting out in
life to be certain to take the right tract if
he expects to succeede.” On this question,
we will not join issue with Uncle Sandy, for
if any man can truly say from bitter ex
perience, that “it is all important to take
the right start,” in youth, we suppose it is
“Uncle Sandy.” No man knows better
than he, from sad experience, how awful it
is to ho a slave to error, not only in youth,
but in middle and old age. Had “Uncle
Sandy received sueh advice and profited by
it, in his youth, he might have been a dif
ferent and better man. Rut poor “Uncle
Sandy!” your youthful training was neg
lected. We cannot claim any special ac
quaintance with “Uncle Sandy” although
we know him when we see him, hut we do
feel exceedingly mortified that, the old
gentleman should be making an attempt to
write down the “States rights” doctrine of
Mr. Calhoun. A doctrine which no sane
man has denied since 1840, until the recent
war broke out. A doctrine which Webster,
Clay, Benton, Douglass, and every other
statesman admited to he true. A doctrine
which half a dozen Supreme Courts of the
different States North, and the Supreme
Court of the United States recently, since
the war, affirmed on their oaths, is a good
doctrine. A doctrine which has survived
stormy debates of the Senate and the in
exorable logic of the dripping blade. A
doctrine, while there was a difference of
opinion as to the mode of asserting it, still
none denied it, as true. Even in the late
war, those who opposed us, admitted the
States rights doctrine of Mr. Calhoun, hut
contended that we had no cause for resort
ing to, and exercising the reserved rights
of the States. It is left fer “Uncle Sandy”
nt this late day to discover as erroneous,
what the ablest statesmen of our coun r,
admitted as true. If we are mistaken,
“Uncle Sandy” did not consider it much of
a “phantom ” even as recent as 1860. It
is true, Congress in its madness, has ignored
the rights of the States, and “Uncle Sandy”
whose eye-sight is not very good anyway,
fancies that he can see a perfect revolution
in political sentiments as to the Calhoun
doctrine, and writes his articles, that doubt
less are never read by a dozen men, to suit
the passions of had men, who pretend to be
our rulers. But our dear old “Uncle Sandy/
you arc badly mistaken in supposing that
your views are correct. The despotism
which now rules the hour will soon pass off,
and the rights of the States will he recog
nized. Not only will this he admitted by
the Democrates, so called, but by the Re
publicans also. We don't mean by this
expression that the Southern States will
ever attempt to exercise this right by
secession, but we mean that the States have
reserved rights which cannot and will not
be taken away permanently. The late war
did not settle the question. It is true, the
Federal army triumphed, hut no man was
taughc that the States rights doctrine of Mr.
Calhoun is wrong. No doctrine was ever
moro thoroughly misunderaood than Mr.
Calhoun’s theory of States rights. He has
been misrepresented, abused and villified
by those who never understood the theory
of States rights as taught by him. His
propositions have been magnified, distorted
and misquoted from time to time, to suit the
political whims of the day. And in this
way, doubtless, “Uncle Sandy” has fallen
into his present error. We hope he will
cease to write his nonsense and read care
fully Mr. Calhoun’s Dissertation on Gov
ernment. Whatever may be said about
“Uncle Sandy,” there is this much we can
say; he is a consistant man, for from what
we can hear of him he started out wrong,
and has been wrong during his life.

A GEORGIA NEGRO LEGISLATOR
COME TO GRIEF.
Under the above heading we find the
following article in the Constituti on which
was taken from the Amerieus Courier of
June Tih :
“The Amerieus Courier, of June 7th,
publishes the following item of news. It
is highly suggestive :
Bill Guilford, a gentleman of the colored
persuasion, who br>>ke jail in this city
sometime ago, where he was confined on
various charges of theft and house break
ing, is about to he returned to his old quar
ters under circumstances not the most
auspicious
After his escape from jail here, he went
to Upson county where he became a candi
date for the 1 egislature, and was actually
eh>eted over one of the best men In the
county, since which time, up to a late date,
has been figuring somewhat extensively as
a law-maker of the State, llis arrival in
charge of the Sheriff, may he expected in
a day or two.”
The above notice of jail breaking and
re-capture contains two errors. The first
is, as tothe party referred to Bill Guilford,
who is said to misrepresent this county in
the legislature, is not the colored “gem
mun” referred to by the Amerieus Courier.
The “anguwine” representative Bill is a
representative man, it is true, but we have
never known him to represent our county in
jail, or the State, in the place referred to by
the Courier. The next error is in stating,
“that he heat one of the he s t, men of Upson
for the Legislature.” It is true, he opposed
one of the best men in the county, but the
said Billie was beaten, and in January last
nt the Terry, Bullock, Harris re-organiza
tion of the House, under the choking pro
cess, Dr. Drake, was turned out and the
aforesaid William put in. This is the way
he got in, and not by an election. The
Courier should he careful how it slanders
a whole county in one breath.
The State road investigating corns

SUITS.
S’ander suits with a certain class are
quite popular now. Gov. Bullock led the
way, and “lesser lights” are following in
his “wake.” Hon. 1 illie Guilford, E.qr.,
(col ) is after the Atlanta Constitution and
the Amerieus Courier with a sharp stick,
lie will not seek redress in the State
Courts, but will apply tothe Federal Courts.
We know of no provision at present provi
ding for a suit of this kind between parties
of the same State, but as William is a
member of the ‘Agency’ we suppose he can
have it his own way. Poor Constitution
we sympathise with you dcepl} r . This is
two suits within three months.
The Samper Republican, published
at Americas, in Sumter county, the county
in which Andersonville is situated, says:
ANDERSONYILLE—BULLOCK BEAR
DED BY PHIL. COOK—HINGED.
ST REA KE D AND ST R IPE D—WIIIT £
WOMEN WITH NEGRO BEAUS.
At the depot, the fatted Bullock mounted
a wagon, aud began a philippic against the
Confederacy, the people, against everything
he could think of. Referring to the treats
ment of prisoners at Anadersnnville, he
said that six prisoners were one day taken
out of the stockade, tied hand and foot, ate
alive by savage dogs, and that there were
two soldiers present with Krysanowki, who
were eve witnesses to the deed, and could
testify to it.
The gallant General Phil Cook, of Ogle
thorpe, who stood the tirade as long as ho
could, at this juncture mounted a wagon of
his own, and declared the statement false,
and challenged toe proof. This had the
effect of scattering the darkies in ever}'
direction, and proved that the General is
still as effective in dispersing them as in
days of yore.
Bullock then called upon all the darkies
who belonged to his church to come up and
shake hands with him, which had the effect
of bringing hack a few of his hea*ers,
though the more respectable negroes held
themselves aloof from the unclean thiDg.
They all joined in cornfield songs, such as
“Shoo Fiy,” “U gh Daddy,” “Sallie Come
up,” and other edually delectable tit-bits
of melody. Parson Collier then delivered
a piece of advice io the Lor 1 , after which
the darkies took the Bullock on their
shoulders, and carried him to the cemetery,
still singing plantation songs. Mrs. Bul
lock and company were gallanted around by
niggers !! ! here is a practical illustration
of what Republicans seeks to accomplish in
Georgia.
After a little more of the above disgrace
ful conduct, the crowd withdrew to their
several holes, let us hope never to disturb
the abode of the dead again with their
disgusting carnival.

WILLIAM GILFORD’S REPLY TO THE
ATLANTA CONSTITUTION AND
THE AMEIIICUS COURIER.
Tuox aston, Ga., -Tune IC>, 1870.
Mr. Editor of the Georgia Herald :
Sir: My attention"has been called to a
slanderous article published in the Atlanta
Constitution of the 10th inst., copied from
the Amerieus Courier of the 7th inst.,
which I here produce and ask its re
publication- with my r°ply to the same :
“A OE' RI.IA NEGRO LEGISLATOR C- ME TO
GRIEF.
The Amerieus Courier, of June 7th, pub-*
lishes the following item of news. It is
highly suggestive:
Bill Guilford, a gentleman of the colored
persuasion, who broke jail in this city
sometime ago, where he was confined on
various charges of theft and house break"
ing, is about to he returned to his old
quarters under circumstances not the most
auspicious.
After his escape from jail here, he went
to Ups m county where he became a candi
date for the Legislature, and was aetua ly
elected over one of the best men in the
county, since whiofi time, up to a late date,
has been figuring somewhat extensively as
a law-maker of the State. llis arrival in
charge of the Sheriff, may be expected in
a day orjwo.” m
As it is the intention of the Constitution
to fasten on me the words “A Georgia ne
gro Legislator come to griefd' I first will
give him a little of tny attention, and but
little, as it appears he knows hut little, and
the good hook says, “where there is hut
little known, hut little is required.” After
the Legislature adjourned I returned home
to my family, where I have remained in
peace and quietude ever since. lam daily
in company with white and tdack Demoo
crats and Republican •, and no one has in
sulted or attempted to insult me vet, and
by invitation, I dine with my friends and
neighbors occasionally, with their tables
'furnished with all the dainties that heart
could wish, and female friends to wait on
me with grace and pride enough to charm
the heart of a mocking bird, and this is
what the Atlanta Constitution calls “A
Georgia negro Legislator come to grief.”
He then copies the lying article from the
Amerieus Courier of the 7th inst., for his
authority, and says ‘it is highly suggestive.’
Now whether this slanderous and unfounds
ed lie is highly suggestive or not, the Fed
eral Court will have to decide.
I will now address mjself to the Editor
of the Amerieus Courier. This Editor
well knows that the whole of his article
which refers to me is a falsehood, lie
knows that I never was in jail in Amerious,
and that their is no charge now, nor never
was any on the criminal docket of
Sumter Superior Court against me. I
further declare that I never was in Sumter
county in my life. I suppose that the
A m-e-r-i constitutes the name of the town,
and the c-u-s constitutes the name of the
Editor of the Courier. It is no wonder
that there are so many assassinations and
so much bloodshed and crime in South
west Georgia, when they have an Editor in
their midst who will stoop so low as to
publish an impertinent lie on a black man,
just because he advocates what he thinks
is right and just. Had the Editor of the
Courier been a foreigner, from behind the
Dead Sea, where the truth is never told and
honest men are not seen, and men hunt one
another down for food to eat, I would not
expect much more, but this Editor was
born and raised in an enlightened land and
claims to be a white man and superior to
the African race. I deem it unnecessary
to say any more at present.
Your humble servant,
William Guilford.

Athens Banner gives the fol
lowing account of a remarkable hail storm
in that section :
Avery severe hail storm passed over a
portion of Jackson county on Thursday of
last week. It extended over a belt of
country about a mile wide, and several
miles in length. At the Salter place, now
owned by Mr. Rivers, it was very severe,
almost completely destroying his crop.
The cotton and wheat on a number of plan
tations was crushed into the earth, and the
farmers are re-planting with corn. In
some places the hail was larger than goose
eggs, and desroyed the glass in houses.
After the storm, masses of hail were found
washed into the fence corners, two feet in
depth, and in shady places it did not melt
for several days. Mr. Nichols, the mail
carrier of Jtfferson, informs us that on
Tuesday, four days after the storm, a wagon
loud of the hail was carried to Jefferson,
and the whole place luxuriated in punch
and ice cream, from “native” ice. It is
reported that the hail remained unmelted
on yesterday—eight days after it fell. It
was a most remarkable storm, and we hope
some observing resident, who is familiar
with its track, will give us further par
ticular.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING A
TRADE.
Why is ife that there is such a repugnance
on the part of parents to putting their s'*ns
tJ a trade ? A skilled mechanic is an inde
pendent man. Go where he will, his craft
will bring him support. He need ask fav
ors of none. He has literally, his fortune
in his own hands. Yet foolish parents,
ambitious that their sons should “rise in
the world,” as they say, are more willing
that they should study for a profession,
with the chances of even moderate success
heavily against them, or run the risk of
spending their manhood in the ignoble task
of retailing dry-goods or of toiling labori
ously at the accountant’s desk, than learn a
trade which would bring them manly
strength, healtli and independence. In
point of fact, the method they choose is the
one least likely to achieve the advancement
aimed at; for the supply of candidates fr
positions as “errand-boys,” dry good clerk--,
and kindred occupations is notorious y
overstocked, while, on the other hand, the
demand (or really skilled mechanics >f
everv description, is as notoriously beyond
the supply. The crying need of this coun
try to day is f r skilled labor ; and that
lather, who neglects to provide his son with
a useful trade, and to see that he thorough
ly masters it, does him a grievous wrong,
and runs the risk of helping, by so much,
to increase the st ek of idle and dependent,
if not vicious members of society.
It is stated in the report of the Prison
Association, lately issued, that of fourteen
thousand five hundred and ninety-six
prisoners confined in the penitentiaries of
thirty State, in 1807, seventy-seven per
cent, or over ten thousand of the number,
had never learned a trade. The fact con
veys a lesson of profound ititerst to those
who have in charge the training of boys,
and girls too, for the active duties of li*e.
An exchange in giving the report
of the Committee of a Bible Society, says,
“The Executive Committee report that they
have supplied every destitute family in the
county, and are ready to aid in the good
work in other counties.”
We are at a lost to know what the editor
means by suppling destitute families.

Cotton Seed Meal. —From the Hearth
and Home we learn that Prof. Cotton
places this meal us equal in value to about
one-half of Indian corn. Yet in a “strict*-
ly nutritive” view, it is placed next to
wheat flour; corn meal but slightiy more
valuable than wheat flour.
We would like to see and accurate hop
pen analysis, and fear not the result. We
believe for young hogs that it will give
more muscle than corn.
Cotton seed meal as a fertilizer, ca n be
delivered within two hundred miles of
Memphis by rail, by the car load, at less
than .81,00 per ewt., whilst corn will cost
riot less than $2. Cotton seed meal, say
two hundred pounns ($3) per acre, cannot
fail to make less than five bushels more
corn. Used as food for cattle and sheep,
more valuable, and we believe, if kept from
any extraneous matter —fungoid may be so
—that it is cheaper than corn for mules
We learn that it cannot be exported and
net S2O per ton, and we ask why will the
farmers not use all that is made, so long as
it can be bought at S2O? The produce; e
have it for sale, and they shin at a loss (if
they sell under S2O, provided all would sell
that is made), yet ship they must, or fail.
We are as strenuous now for its conversion
into flesh, fat, butter and wool, as we were
fifteen years ago when we gave a series of
articles, showing cost of machinery and
profits. We say send not a pound out of

in it.— So. Farmer.
