'HURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1870
A Batch of Scalawag Senators.— ln
be teeth of tbeir own action a year
ince, and in di fiance of the true wishes
>f the people of Georgia, and every in
tinct of justice and common decency,
n the 15th inst., the Legislature pro
eeded to elect no less than three sena
ors for the State of Georgia.
All good men must hang their heads
rith shame at the result, and indig
ently scout the action of a body, who
re in no sense the true representatives
f the people.
The day will yet -come when Bullock,
od his miserable crowd, will call upon
lie rocks and hills t«» fall upon and cov
r them, from the w rath of an outraged
»eople. \ '

Jongress will set aside the Atlanta farce,

Albany & Brunswick Railroad.—
The -extension of this thorough fare
westward from Albany to the Cliatla
moebee, is now under advisement, and
he particular route will soon be loca
ted.
Welearn our enterprising sister, Paw
son, is bidding for the terminus, while
the people of Culhoun, and Blakely are
seeking to influence the direction of the
roud through that section of country.
Cutlibe. tis situated v.ry nearly on
an air line between Albany and Eufaula j
and as all Railroads are constructed
upon the principle of uniting the most
populous and important points, it would
appear the claims of our city should be
paramount to all others.
Still, we hear of no movement on
tho part of our citizens, looking to this
important connection, and ere we know
it, our more astute neighbors will bear
away the prize.
No time should be lost in the premis
es. Let our excellent Mayor cull a
town ejecting to discuss the whole ques
tion, tusd open up a correspondence
with the President and directors of the
Brunswick & Albany Railroad.
Action should be taken -also wpoo the
propriety of an immediate modification
and enlargement, of our act of incorpo
ration, so ns to enable the city to take
stock in this, and other enterpises of
acknowledged utility, after the question
has been submitted to u popular vote.
We hope soon to chronicle the call
for such a meeting.
Since penning the foregoing, we learn
that at a meeting of the Town Council,
on motion, his Honor Mayor Clarke,
Col. A. Hood, and Thomas S. I ovvell,
Esq., were appointed a delegation to
visit the authorities of the Albany and
Brunswick Railroad, and take such stßps
•as might be deemed advisable, to induce
them to carry their road through our
city to Eufuula.
The following gentlemen were also
appointed alternates of the delegates
above named, to wit—W. D, Kiddoo,
€npt. B. J. Smith and H. 11. Jones.
We shall await with much interest
and anxiety, the report of this commis
sion, and trust our citizens will n<>t be
slow to respond to every requirement
which may be necessary, to bring to
our doors highway of
commerce. More anon.
Blft- The subjoined announcement, ta
ken from the Atlanta Era, of the i3th,
will cause pain and regret to all lovers
of Southern literature.
Uis with regret that the Editor and
Publisher ot the “Cosmopolitan Month
ly” announces that, ow ing to the heavy
pressure on the money market, and the
failure on the part of the Southern peo
ple to sustain the magazine, it becomes
necessary to suspend its publication for
the present. To the very few who
have generously aided us in the effort
to establish a standard magazine in the
return our heartfelt thanks.

Auvice to Farmers.
The complaints of insufficient and un
reliable field labor, which come up from
every qoarter-of our State, are fur from
being exaggerated.
Indeed <lie half has not been Told.—
Large plantations on Spring creek, and
in portions of Calhoun, Early and Ba.
ker counties are without a solitary freed
man. A gentleman just from Miller,
also states that very many farmers
whose plantations are amply stocked in
every respect, are feeding th< ir mules
in idleness, while the plowing season is
rapidly passing away. In this county
too, it is difficult to-find any one who
has his full complement of hands, and we
could enumerate instances among our
vejy Lest .planters, of individuals whose
farms are a solitude, while others have
but one or two laborers, where a dozen
or more are required.
This condition of affairs has cast a
gloom over the community, and serious
ly affects every branch ot business.—
Nor is there the slightest hope that
time will abate the evil. On the con
trary, every subsequent year will show a
steady and perceptible decrease in the
supply of African labor.
Just in the proportion that the freed
meu are prosperous, will be the ratio *ef
this diminution.
The cases are exceptional only, where
w*y negro with 2(7 bushels of corn on
hand, mid 50 dollars in his pocket, can
bo induced to continue to act as a com
mon laborer in tire farm. Be must for
sooth, now play lire .part of land holder
and proprietor himself. Hence, equipp
ed with oue broken-down mule, or ox
of all work, and a lew acres of old field,
either -rented or purchased, he launches
orrt, and from being a thriving, industri
ous producer, degenerates into a shift
less, lazy, and too often thievish consum
er.
Thus every year adds to the number
of those who set up for themselves,
while the high wages of Railroad con
tractors, and the love of town life, com
bine to exhaust the supply still farther.
Determined it would seem to com
plete our ruin, the U. 8. Government
inteferes to prevent the introduction of
Asiatic labor.
What then should be the rcourse of
the Georgia planter? We answer brief—
iy.
Ist. Let him reduce the trereage un
der cultivation one half.
2d. Purchase, if necessary on time,
at least 300 pouuds of some standard
fertilizer for each acre in ooltoa.and ap
ply, after deep and thorough prepara
tion.
3d. Sow down in the full and spring,
iu wheat, rye and oats, eveiy spare foot
of ground on the plantation.
4th. Employ as few hands as possi
ble, but run a strong team of mules.
sth. Under no circumstances what
ever, consent to employ any laborer who
if contracting for a share of the crop, is
unwilling to use commercial manures,
and bear his full proportion of their cost.
To do otherwise is to permit careless
outsiders to abuse and wear cut the on
ly heritage left for your children, who
will then coolly look elsewhere for em
ployment, and leave your exhausted
fields to become a prey to thorns and
thistles.
6th. Select, and use none hut the best
seeds, and so divide your crops that an
abundance of grain and forage may be
assured from year to year.
The right observance of those rales,
will go far to compensate fi r the threat
ened deficiency in labor, while the land
under cultivation, in a brief period will
quadruple its present yield, and increase
rapidly in value.
Those portions devoted to the cereals
will also cease to wash, and the annual
turning under of the grass and weeds
which succeed the harvest, must grad
ually restore the fertility of the soil.
Finally, let us combine to effect the
passage of a law abolishing fences, and
use every possible means to induce re
putable white emigrants to locate ampng
us.
Each prudent Scot or patient German,
or stalwart son of Erin, who becomes a
settler, will enhance the value of our
land and multiply the labour of the
country.
Again, such emigrants usually affili
ate with the people among whom they
cast their lot, and not infrequently
bring capital with them.
They thus eventually will add to the
political and numerical strength of the
whites, and increase the prosperity and
wealth of the country.
Who will say such a population will
not be preferable to a colored tenantry
whose roving habits and ancient procliv
ities will ever make unreliable.

, Buying Fertilizers on Time*
The Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel,
bag an article which is copied by the
Telegraph & Messenger-, -urging plan
ters to confine their orders to cash 'pur
chases, and thus save *the interest of
about 20 per cent which is charged
usually upon time galea.
Thig is bad adviceio those who can
procure a standard article upon these
terms, nor are the dealers asking such
exhorbitant rates as may be inferred.
Money on the street is worth from 2
to three per cent per month, and even
the banks are asking about 15 per cent
per snirtiin. Now -it is well know*n -that
many of the ingredients composing these
compounds «re very'costly, and must
be paid for in cash, Sf sold on time,
«the oatnufabturmg business also must be
•done upon the credit and large
sums of money borrowed to keeptheina
chinery in motion.
After putting one rate of interest
therefore over against the other, the
actual gain of the seller above cash pri
ces, is the difference between the two
rates of interest.
This will rarely exoeed seven per
cent. B tit is universsal'y -conceded
that the application of 200 lbs. of a re.
liable fertilizer per acre, will secure an
addition of 100 per cent to the yield of
the crop. Thus if one acre producing
in a natural state 600 lbs of seed cott jn
worth 45-difilars, is made to turn out
126OpoandH I ‘9o doflam, upon an outlay
of $lO (ft meet, the actual interest reali
zed by the planter on the amount ex
pended, exceeds 400 per cent.
Besides this, in lieu *ef the usual de>
teriuration, -his land is improved in
fertility and value, and will make a bet
ter crop the succeeding year.
The above calculation is based upon
cotton at 21 cts. per pound.
But even supposing the yield to be
increased 50 per cent only, the interest
on the outlay will be 200 per cent, ami
if 25 per cent, or one fourth, it will «tiM
amount to 100 per cent over the cost of
the fertilizers.
It is easy to see therefore that the
only question of risk to the planter, is
the genuineness of the article he employs
Dry and unpropitious for manure as
the past season was, those who used re
liable fertilizers realized handsome prof
its from them. Besides it should be
remembered that after all, mother earth
pays the debt, both principal and inter
est, and the planter does not turn a dol
lar until he has made it.
Those who work poor land must en
eoQnter the same outlay for stock, pro
visions, and labor, as they who upon the
same area of a more generous soil, re
alize quadruple as much.
How then can the difference be equal'
ized ? By the judicous use of fertilizers
bought if possible at cash figures, but
but still secured With alacrity, even at
the apparently high prices which rule.
Judicial Tyranny*
We print below a communication
from Brunswick, to the Savannah Re
publican dated the 11th, inst., announ
cing the punishing by fine or imprison
ment of 19 Grand Jurors of the count} 7
by Glynn, because in their official ca
pacity they dared to censure Jhe J udge
of that Circuit, Sessions, for allowing
bail to a criminal for assault and bat
tery, who was then under indictment for
murder.
This iscaTrying matters with a high
hand. We thought Gen Terry was
our only master in Georgia at this junc
ture.
We advise our Glynn friends howev
er to pay the fine imposed by this shal
low pated tyraut, or rather let the peo
p!e of Georgia have that honor, limit,
ing the subscription for that purpose to
25 cents each.
All good men should make common
cause with the sturdy Brunswickers :
On Tuesday last the grand jury of
Glynn county in their general present
ments, read in Court, censured Judge
Sessions for his action in bailing a crim
inal convicted of assault with intent to
murder ami against whom an indict
ment was then standing for murder in
the first degree. The Judge was high
ly indignant at the time, but dismissed
the jury for the balance of the term.—
Subsequently, in chambers, he ordered
a fine ot twenty-five dollars against each
juror, or twenty-live days in jail, for con
tempt. The jury have refused to pay
the fine, and say they feel they have
done but their duty, and have resolved
to go to jail in a body. There being
no jail in Brunswick, the Sheriff will
briug them to Savannah. They will
leave here on Friday, 11th ittst., on the
Nick King. It is their intention to sue
out a writ of habeas corpus before
Judge Schley upon their arrival in Sa
vannah.
A bitter feeling against Judge Ses
sions prevails extensively among tha
citizens here. Their trip to the Nick
King’s wharf to-day, will be a grand
ovation. The citizens wiil turn out en
masse to escort them.
The people regard them almost as
martyrs. They honor them as bold
and fearless in the discharge of their
duty, and as men who do their duty if
they have to reproach the ermine of the
judiciary,
They may conclude to pay the fine
to day when they assemble. I have no
idea they will, however. A incus.
Our modern course of living be
gets a condition of the body that re
quires occasional relief. The system be*
comes enfeebled, deranged, clogged, and
labors in its task. The mind sympa
thizes with it and both sink, or are de
pressed together. To restore the vital
energies, purge the system—cleanse the
blood—take Ayer’s Pi.ls.— Glasgow,

Interfering with Laborers in Tran
sit. —The Mobile Register, of the 2d,
records: Yesterday a parly of Texas
emigrants arrived in the eifcy with one
hundred negroes, whom they had hired
in Virginia. The notorious negro, Ma
jor Land for<3, and several others of his
class, went among them and pursuT.ded
nearly one-half of them to break their
contracts, by telling them all kinds of
absurd stories J among others, that
they were to be taken to Cuba and sold
into slavery.

Speer offered a resolution ’tbtft both
branches of the General Assembly elect
on the 15th‘United States Senators.
■Candler claimed there was no vacan
cy existing,-and no law .authorizing an
election. Such election was not the
voice of the people of Georgia or her
Representatives, but an outrage.
After a stormy debate, the resolution
was passed by a vote o' 20 to 12
During the debate Bradley made a
long speech, saying Congress did not
want such an election, but prefers for
Georgia to remain a territory,; that un
der the Code of Georgia colored nfei
had nothing to expect. It was. g.-oj
enough for white men, but Was aimed
when the negro had no rights that the
white men were bound to Tespedt. He
wanted mixed juries and a military bill
allowing all to carry arms. He favored
a mixed militia, as life and property
was not safe in Georgia. Bradley had
his telegram to Grant asking
we vote for Senators before repealing
the black Code of Georgia” laid on the
table of each Senator. Grant’s reply
was “ Jse your own diseretien-“-ounuot

The House swore in Rogers off Union,

the House was not organized according

Tweedy’s resolution to concur with
the Senate in -the election of Senators,

Scott protested, as the Souse wais il
legally organized—as a Register *n
Bankruptcy had qualified til! the mem

qualification to be made by a J udge of
the Supreme Court or Superior Court.
Turner opposed an election. He
preferred to remain a Territory. He
was afraid action in the premises would
make the C«dei»f Georgia law, and ena

will take a month’s recess.

The Savannah Republican says:
The Legislature as illegally organ
ized, according to Terry and Bullock,
voted away the credit of the State—or,
to state the truth, contracted obligations
which the State will haVe to pay—to
the amount of many millions, a portion
of the bonds being already issued, all of
which goes by the board under this
new Radical dispensation.
This may be true, and, if the whole
sale ruin entailed upon the State by the
past action ot the present Legislature
could Stay repealed , despite the damage
to local interests in some cases, every
tax payer would have cause to rejoice.
But with the new fangled concern
composed of‘black spirits and white,blue
spirits and grey,*’ and all the odds and
ends of society, thoroughly manipula
ted and engineered by Bullock, Terry
and Butler, what have we to look for.
If hitherto we were b >Und with s’en
der cords, now they wiH be transform*’
ed into ciblesj if our burdens were sim
ply grievous, they will now became in
tolerable. God help a people whose
purses and possessions are at the mercy
of a thievish radical crowd, who have
the congress of the so called United
States as their prototype and exemplar.
We fear the satisfaction of our con
temporary will be short lived, and now
buidens, new horrors and a long cata
logue of new abuses will be our portion,
Toe Solid Truth —The Boston Post
truthfully says, Congress is the only oh
stacle to a restoration of the Union it
is in rebellion against ttie peace of the
country —against its return to constitu
tional government and general prosper
ity. This is the general sentiment, in
dependent of party bias, and is express
ed, in substance, by papers of both the
great political parties.
There are 1,500,000 documents
and pamphlets lying in the vaults of
the Capitol, waiting the frank,, and
more are being printed every day.—
Congressmen are exerting thernse’ves to
get all these through the mails before
the privilege is abolished.
Mrs. Stanton says that no man
ever worshipped God. truly who did hot

The Fifteenth Amendment.
The -newspapers announce that the
Fifteenth Amendment to the' Constitu
tion of the United States, establishing
suffrage iu all Hie States of the Union
without regard to race or coldr, Jtas
been ratified the number bi States
-required to make it apart of that instru
fhent. The ratifying States include
New Yo. k, winch witlidrcw 1-er ratifica
tion, and Georgia'which ratified at the
point of the bayonet. As soon as the
official announcement shall be made
by the Slate Department, this amend
ment will be recognized by all depart
ments of the government as :i part of
the fundamental law of the land.
Whether thes* ratifications are legal
must be a question in the mind of every
man -who is not so blinded by the pas
sion and prejudice ot patty as to be
come ob-ivious to what is fight. For
the time being the party in power is
strong enough to enforce the amend
ment, right or wrong, but the t>'me may
come when an unbiassed tribunal shall
be called upon to examine tile legality
of the amendment. The ratification of
the Southern Sttftes ta so equivocal that
it would not be entertained for a mo
ment were the tffn<-8 not revolutionary.
Several of tiieir legislatures were elec
ted under tne pressure of military des
potism, and the ratificat on carried
through by the fotco ot the bayonet.—
With this example it will not be impos
sible to change the Constitution at any
tune, and in such manner, as the pt/ht:-
cul necessity ot the party in power may
require. The following from the New
loik Herald, on the ratification by the
Southei n Suites, puts the manner of do
ing it in a proper light: ‘'Southern
States were required to ratify the fit
teenth amendment as a condition of res
loraliou to the Union. As they could
not be trusted to come in and then rati
fy it, they ratified-first aHd then cubic
in. They were, therefore, not iu the Un
ion wheu they acted on the Constitution,
or else they were never out of the Union.
Either, then, all the reconstruction Jaws
of Congress are invalid, or these South
ern ratifications of the fiheentli ainend
mend are invalid. If these states were
in the Union there Was no need to admit
them, and if they were not-in the Union
they could not participate iu making
laws for States that are in.”
Our people may just us well as not
make up tiieir minds to have the negro
for a political equal, for it will not be
long before he becomes to o all intents
and purjH9-es. Wo shall find him a
qualified voter at the polls, capable of
holding office and sitting m the jury
box. Y\ e have fought this question as
long as here was any room left open to
fight it, but now that we are beaten we
shall yield to necessity as graceful as
po-sible. We shall makotbe tsost of a
bad bargain. The success of the Fif
teenth Amendment dees not change our
opinion of the great wreng done ih ■
country by introducing the ignorant and
hrutai Southern negro as ar. element in
American politics. This servile class
will hold the balance of power, and at
every Presidential election there will be
a struggle between parties as to which
shall control it. Wo need not remind
our readers how much this will demor
alize American politics, besides it will
place tbe country under neg o rule, di
rectly or indirectly. Tho result of it we
shall wait to see. —Doglestown Democrat.

given me by different physicians, I am now entire

that you have only to give them a trial to secure'u
lasting cifre. Most respectfully,
