EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR
THOMASTON, GA., AUG. 13,1870.
We have noticed after an examination of
the papers from various parts of the State,
that a majority of the counties have organ
ized Agricultural Societies. There is no
possible reason why our rich and populous
Upson should not be enterprising as her
sisters, in such a matter as this. We are
surprised that no effort has been made, or
if made ha? not been successful, to estab
lish a society. We cannot believe this
failure is to be attributed solely to lack of
interest, but rather ascribe it to a want of
conserted action in a very great measure.
A few men of energy could casi'y set in
motion such a movement, and when once
started, very little effort would suffice to
carry it forward to successful completion.
The annual fair of the State Agricultural
Society is to be held in Atlanta, on the 10th
of October next, and on the 25th of the
same month the Agricultural Congress is
to assemble in the city of Augusta. In
view of these events it certainly seems ad
visable that we of this county should take
the matter of the organization of an Agri
cultural Society or Club into consideration.
Let us not be too far behind counties not
more favored than ourselves. Will not the
people give some public expression to their
views on this subject? Farmers, talk with
your neighbors and interest them in the
matter, and let us see if we cannot effect
this object.

OF THE GEORGIA HERALD.
Washington, D. C., 0, 1870.
napclfon’s peace roucr.—THE MILITANT j
ASTECT.
The repeated struggles at the point of
the bayonet to which the French Emperor
lias resorted to maintain hi* dynasty. wr-u!d |
seem to indicate that his famous speech at j
Bordeaux, iu 1852. in which he said, “The
Empire—it is peace,” were words full of
sound and fury, signifying nothing. His
journey through southern France, ostensi
b'v as Pr( s'dent of the Republic of 1848,
but really a bidding expedition for the re
establishment of the Empire, was marked
by a series os triumphal ovations, culminat
ing in his acceptance of the enraptured ap
peal of his People, through tho Municipal
Council of Paris, to become Emperor,
which it would seem he could not do with
out again repeating the golden words which
had inspired thirty, five million souls with
high hopes of the blessing of Peace, ‘ The
Empire—it is peace.” The confidence felt
in the practical realization of this assurance
is evidenced by the fact that he was elected
Emperor by a malority of 7,011,035. But,
like many in a humbler station, the ambi
tion of Napoleon, untempered by that judg
ment which makes men permanently great,
could not bear the sudden prosperity with
which he was clothed. The first breach of
faith with his people was the Crimean war;
then the French-I tali an war, the close of
which, in the Solferino treaty, was precipi
tated by threats from England and Prussia ;
next, the great filibustering /iasco in Mexi -
co; and. finally, his present causeless eru
sade against Prussia. Verily, how prophet
ic was that “distrust” which led some per
sons to confront the Emperor with tho
verified words, “The Empire—it is war,”
at the very juncture when their cajoling
chief declared it to be peace. I have stated
in a former letter what seemed from an
objective standpoint of observation, to be
the real issue of the present contest. Asa
materiality it has no issue save a prospec
tive one, which, with this fourth attempt of
Napoleon to spread his power, is likely to
end in the loss of what he now holds. The
Emperor’s crowning tear is concentrated
upon tho doubts surrounding the succession
of his son to the throne; and herein it is
essentially a war waged in the interest of
family considerations. Does it not look as
though a dynasty which, in order to sus
tain itself, compels a whole continent to go
through years of misery, might far better,
for the age of civilization in which ws live,
crumble into dust?
THE FALL CAMPAIGN.
The indications are too palpably evident,
| that the present campaign for the election
of Members to the Forty- Second Congress
will be conducted with as much vigor as is
exhibited in that of a presidential canvass.
The Radical party, desirous of retaining at
.11 L J- ’ en
strangely and unexpectedly held bv it alnoA
traordinary efforts to retain it. The ‘stump
orator,” prompted by the “fuglemen,”
whose headquarters are here, will exercise
his utmost ingenious sophistry to ?up@rin<s
duco the belief on his numerous listeners,
that the rule of his party has brought peace,
happiness, and wealth, to the whole coun
try. Were this state of affairs based on
truth, no effort would be necessary to in
j sure the country going cn masse for the
i continuation of the aforesaid Radical party.
But as it is a self-evident proposition that
the people at aroused from the
“Rip an Winkle” lethargy in which they
have for eight years past been thrown into
by the mendacious speciousness and false
issues which been foisted and thrust
upon them by the “leaders,” whose cry has
been “MoNorplrf* “Taxes,” and “Riches,”
a determined opposition to continuing the

[CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD]
Portland Maine, Aug. 8, 1870.
Ed. Herald: —“From Maine to Georgia”
used to be a familiar expression, and from
Maine to Georgia! would send you an item
of political intelligence, because there is
much more significance iu it than usually
attaches to the selection of a candidate tor
office in this State. Candidates are made
here in the Radical party by office holders’
rings, and are electod by the influence and
the power of the government. Thus the
Radical ranks of Congressmen iu New En
gland remain unbroked. The members of
this party in the First Congressional Dis
trict of the State have recently had the re
nominationoi their present Representation,
(Mr. Lynch) forced upon them by the office
holders , a result which is not in accordance
with the wishes of a majority of the mem
bers of that party. The ‘rank and file’
think this thing has been carried about far
enough, and that the'people ought to have
some voice in the selection of their candi
dates for office. The office holders laugh at
the disaffected ones and tell them 'to bolt if
they dare V We shall see how they stand
it.
On the second of August, the Democratic
convention for the same First District (of
which Portland is a part) assembled, anc
with entire unanimity—every man voting
in his favor—presented as their candidate
for Congress, the name of William P.
Haynes, of Saco. The nomination was as
honorable to the man as to the cause he
represented, and was the spontaneous v#:C3
of the conservative masses of the people of
the district. I need not speak of Mr.
Haynes, farther than to say that his vorth
and ability are krown and acknowledged
by men of all parties, and his election
would be an honor to the district, aa he
would be to the whole country. As adis
tinguished gentleman from another State
has just said, “ The election of only hilf a
dozen such men as Mr. Haynes, would matt
rlathy change the tone and character f ' ie
Whole uousc." mu. --• . n _ , ‘
... _ -rill soon be
known to tho country. On one side .are
arrayed the office-holders with all their
power and influence, to over-awe all they
can, and on the other side are th) people
themselves. We have high hopes ojredeem
ing the district, (it has been strongly Rad
ical since ’62 or ’63 Ed ) and sending to
Washington a Statesman instead of a mere
partizan politician ; and we further believe,
that if every Congressioual district in the
country where elections are to occur, will
follow our action and select the test man
irrespective of all other eonsideraions, we
can soon redeem the House of Representa
tives, and change that place from a caucus
room or a bear garden, into a dignified
assemblage of American Statesman and
Patriots. . DsxfEß.

Rentes.—This term recurring so often in
foreign telegraphic reports of the market,
has doubtless puzzled many of our readers
to understand its meaning.
Rentes are the evidences of the funded
debt of France, not in the form of bonds,
as ours, birt as loans from the people!
These loans are entered to the credit of the
lender upon the Government ledgers, and
certificates bearing a special rate of inter
est given to the lender of these certificates.
The holders are called “Renters/' and the
fluctuations in the value of these certificates
indicate the confidence of the financial
market.
Consols are the English Government
stocks, and differ from Rentes a3 well as
from our bonds in boing annuities upon
which the interest is simply paid, and they
are called Consols, from being formed by
the consolidation of different annuities,
bearing different rates of interest, into one
annuity bearing a uniform rate—three per
cent, being the annual interest upon Con
sole.
Consols being the stock in which most
speculations are made, they are thus made
the financial standard or barometer of all
other securities.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.
The Central Executive Committee of the
Democratic party es Georgia are invested
with authority to call a convention ot the
party whenever they deem it expedient to
do so.
By virtue of this authority, they respect

several counties of this State to send dele
gates to meet in Convention in the city t t
Atlanta, on Wednesday the 17th day of
August next, to take into consideration
such measures as the interest of the party

THE POLITICAL FUTURE.
Netr York Express.]
Republicans from the South, at present
in Washington, taken gloomy view of the
situation at home. A Louisiana Republi
can, for instance, informs his friends in the
Senate that Louisiana will give 5,000 Dem
ocratic majority next November, and 25,000
at tiie next Presidential election.
A Mississippi Republican predicts a
Democratic victory is that State in Novem
ber. He told Alcorn, the other day, it was
inevitable, and Alcorn laughed. Now, if
Alcorn had been at hetrt a Radical, he
would have cried ; hut he never shed a
tear—on the contrary, as above stated, he
laughed. Depend upon it, that man Alcorn
—the old friend of Clay, Webster and
Fillmore—is “ripe for treason, stratagem
aud spoils.”
Alabama, I am assured by good Repub
lican authority, will give 5,000 Democratic
majority in November. Enough said about
Alabama.
Georgia, not being as yet reconstructed,
I leave out of the account for the present.
South Carolina may be set down as
doubtful, but the Honorable Frederick
Augustus Sawyer, one of her Senators —a
native, by the way, of Boston, Mass., arid
a graduate of Harvard Uuiversity—pursues
so conservative a course as to lead many
persons to suspect that he apprehends a
bouleversement there in November.
In Tennessee, the Radicals give it up.
Maynard may possibly be re elected in the
Knoxville District. If so* he will be the
only Radical member from Tennessee in
the next Congress. Etheridge is on the
war path in his district, and he will be
elected.
North Carolina, as the Southern phrase
has it, is looking “very peart.” The Hol
den party there is dwindling every day,
and will go under forever in November.
! Requiescat in pace.
Virginia is already redeemed. Governor
! Walker is a trump, and you will find nulla

to the scratch wherf required.
Pennsylvania Republicans are l¥ot in
lavor of negro suffrage. The Fifthtecnth
Amendment there is a two edged sword,
and cuts right and lets, in tne southern
tier of counties the white people do not yet
believe that negroes are their equals. Nor
in Lehigh, nor Lycoming, nor Dempshire
either, Simon Cameron to the contrary
notwithstanding. llow it may be in Lan
caster, deponent saith not. A county that
worshipped such as trange mid uncouth
ged as Thad Stephens, might reasonably
be regarded as thoroughly unclean arid
irredeemable. If she be joined to her idols,
we will let her alone.
Os New York and New Jersey no one
doubts. Grant’s brilliant strategy in the
Murphy business ensures both these States
to the Conservatives anyhow and beyond a
peradventure. A gain” of seven or eight
members of Congress in the districts where
Fen is potential, may be expected in
November, in New Yoik. Fenton was
originally a Democrat, and being now a
candidate for toe Presidency, he must soon
begin to marshal his forces at home, to keep
Conkling in check in Oneida and to hold
lorn Murphy and his myrmidons at bay in
that city and in Long Branch.
Indiana shows symptoms of tLiu«; ug off
the Radical collar.'
Ohio is so manipulated by Delano and
his tribe of tax-gatherers, that it is hardly
possible to tell what is to become of her ;
but if Pentisylvaniu caves in, Ohio vull
follow with a rush.
From the above statement, compiled
from reliable data, it would appear that the
Radicals are about to be defeated next fall
in many States now held by their party.
