We shuddered last, night when
wo thought of the possibility of
failing to receive our Constitution.
Of all our exchanges, it is the most
important one.
Our Congressmen seem to be
nnxiouH to impress the world that
Georgia is loyal to the Union. So
sho is in every constitutional sense
of that expression.
The trouble with Mr, Speer of
the 9th Diet, seems to be a doubt
as to whether llamiuond meant him
or Felton. Hammond, how-ever,
seems to understand the matter.

of successful contradiction, Unit in

most prosperous-- money and eveiy
means of living is most plentiful
autl most easy to he had. But some
may ask “what does the rate of in
terest allowed by law have to do
with this matter?” 1 am sure it
it effects it very materia ly. Men
will place their money in that in
vestment which returns the largest
British parliament niter a long] dividend. If they can loan money

This paper has advocatod, as the

About as good testimony in fa

There would bo u proportional in-

In pioof of this last statement I
refer tho reader to this fact: viz,
In that slate in our American un
ion whore tho rate of interest al

most internal improvement in pro
portion to tho size of the state in
area and population. And, in tho
years between the high and low
rates of interest allowed by law, the
ratio ot iucrouso in internal improve
incuts Ims been greatest. And wo
in other mutters, judge the future
by tho past, and so may we in this.
What has occurred in CounocticUtt
and Massachusetts in the way of in-
internal improvenents under the

and equitublo usury laws will occur
in Georgia or any state as an effect

am upprizod that it will bo said
that the rate of interest referred

At 12 m. on the 9th the senate
proceeded to the hall of the house ol
representatives, and the two houses
beiug assembled in pursuance of the
Constitution for that purpose the
dectorial vote for president was coun
ted, and Garfield and Arthur declar-
elected. The vote of Georgia had
its conditional count—not changing
the ;rean!t
necessity to tnis section ol the coun
try ; that tho people were driven
to manufacturing for want of other
profitable investment. The trans
parency of such reasoning may
bo scon when wo remember that
tho sections in which manufaoto
vies and railroads flourish most
largely are the best agricultural
districts in the nations, and counec
tod with the whole world by ports
and harbors for the landing of the
ships of tho nations beyond. Ev
ery avenue ol trade known to com
merce was opened to them and
they might in a hundred ways
have invested their money otlior
than as they did. But they acted
more wisely than wo have ever
dono. They built factories and
railroads, etc., etc., and attracted
tho commodities and money of oth-
ei countries to their shores instead
of sending theirs out ot the conn-
try. And this too, the direct effect
ol legislation on the interest ques
tion. When mon could not loan
their savings from tho profits ot
tiio farm, lor a rato ol interest
winch suited thorn they sought in
vestment iu something whiclrwould
pay hotter. And they did hot do
as our bankers and money leaders
tell us men will do if you make the
rate too low, viz: go out of the
state to find investments thov found
a place at home l<*r their money,
and exporiouce justifies the wis

and rail roadwhere wisely and ju- tll< -‘

[Jefferson City (Mo.) Special to t.lio St

One of ihe saddest scenes ever
witness'd in the Missouri penitent!
ary transpired to d iv. A inotliei

The father and mother of these men
live near Mount Sterling Kv.; keep a

do in life. Rear or five years ago
the i Ider brother came to Missouri
and bought j farm near Butler, in
in Bates county. The younger broth

lived together on the since, the eld
est being married. Neighbors look
ed upon them as being people of
means, a d respectable. Pur two or
three years nM sorts of devilment was
porpefinted in and around Butler-
Persons were waylaid nnh robbed by
disguised men, mails were rifled, bur
ghiries committed and hogs stolen.
At length suspicion entered on the
Green wades, and they wero watched
by officers and citizens and at last
caught “dead to rights.*• Mail pouch
os cut open and rilled were found
in (lie cellar, and other stolen prop
erty were found on their premises
Conviction was on-v, and they wen
landed in the penitentiary. At the
time stated the mother, hearing her
sons were in trouble, posted in haste
to Bates Oounty, only fo learn that
they had all been convicted of crimes
and taken to the State prison. With
her drtugliter-inxlaw and the latter’s
two children she reaclmii Jefferson
Gity to-day and at once proceeded to
the penitentiary. The meeting with
her sons war terribly affecting, and
it said that Deputy Warden Brad
bury for once in bis life gave way to
the melting mood.
“My God,” she exclaimed, “that a
mother should meet four uf lier helov
ed in such u place.”
The officials were kind and tender
to the afflicted ones, but they laid at
last to use force in seperating the
mother from her sons, and induced
her to leave them ufter a visit ol three
or lour hours.
Mrs. Green wade Sr., is a woman
ol not over fifty years in appearance,
well mannered, strong minded and
intelligent; bat the learlul realiza
tion of her position was more than
her mother’s heart could bear unuiov
ed, and she gave vent to her sliume
and sorrow iu a manner mote iff, ct
ing than was ever before witnessed
within the prisou walls.. She left
lor her Kentucky 11trine this even
ing, taking her daughter in-law and
the children with her.
There is one more son, who will
doubtless never disgrace his name,
for he is a minister of the gospel in
good standing. One of the convicts
is in the prison hospital.
