asv lie, Ga., but on meeting him at Ce
dar Keys, was disposed to act gentle
manly and frieni ly toward the latter,
when he was insulted by the same, and
his pashion getting the bet'ei ot his
nature, he kicked Mr. L. twice, once
in the side, which resulted in his death
about three houis afterward. An in
quist was held upon the body of Mr.
Leak, and a verdict rendered ‘Death
by Providential causes.’ [A veiy
strange verdict, we must say] Dr.
Hodge was arrested by the military,
and altcrward turned over to the givij
authorities, when he was held t) bail
in the sum of one thousand dollars to
answer to a charge, before the Superi
or Court, of‘involuntary homicide.’

COUNTY CONVENTION.
We apprehend that there is very
little difference of opinion between the
edit <r of this paper and the people of
Thomasville on the subject referred to
in the communication signed Z, and
therefore we deem it unnecessary to
write a lengthy reply. The count u*
tiication is in reply to an article writ
ten by Mr. Harris, who kindly filled
our post during a brief absence, and
who we 'eft at liberty to promulgate
his owi. views. He may not have
touched upon a popular chord in that
article, but we think h s heart is riMit.
aid that he will be found on the side
cf our in'eres's when the time comes
for action.
BYINGTON HOTEL.
A card and circular informs us that
our old friend •). L Byington, so fa
mous for hotel keeping in Albany and
Fort Valley, has removed to Macon
where he has opened the Byington
Hotel on Cherry Street. If he keeps
up his reputation, and we do not doubt
that he will, the Byington Hotel in
Macon will become more famous than
the Lanier, We wish him the nio-4
splendid success.
NATIONAL AMERICAN.
We have received copies of anew
paper with the above title published j
in New York City by the American
Industrial League. It will be devote 1
to the Labor question and cooperate

EDITORIAL CHANGE.
Col. Carey W. Std«s, former!,' of

Weekly News. Col. Styles, is a leady

liberal talent and great energy. . Wiih j
his usual success in the newspaper j
bussness, the News will soon show
signs of improvement.
THE ONLY PLAN
The Macon Tii<graph displays at j
its mast head the Id lowing:
“The only [dan to defeat a convcti' I
tion is to vote for Conservative Deles j

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.
The Lake City Fla. Press of tin?
12th inst contains an order Irom F.
E Grossman, Capt. Commanding the
Dost of Lake City, directed to the
Sheriff of Columbia County, forbid
ding him, in obedience to Gen. Order
No. 49, to publish advertisements or
oilier official publications in (he Press,
on account o its opposition to Recon
struction. Our cotemporary of the
Press thinks it rather hard that he
should he the first struck down. Let
him bo consoled. The Conservative
press of Georgia received the blow but
the weapon recoiled and slew sixty
thousand Radicals in Ohio and Demi
sylvania. It is thought that at least
fifty thousand more will be missing
at the roll call shortly to bo sounded
at the polls in New York, Let us be
patient therefore, for a short time.—
They are howling dreadfully over their
defeat in the North, and faithful to
their instincts, have turned and are
now engaged rending eachothcr,--
That was the objective point —it is
gained.
POLITICAL.
A mass meeting of Republicans was hold
i al Thomasville on Saturday lest to nomi
j nale camlidates for the convent ion. The
j whiles very properly look no part in the
[ proceedings.
The nominees are Rev. Mr. Smith and
j Dr W. O. Ca.son, of Thomas, and Mr.
j Cutler, of Brooks. We learn that they are
| all recent imperial ions—“carpet bag gon
i tlemen from tho North”—in pursuit of
loaves and fishes.— Suv. Peu-s ft lleralJ.
The Herald has been misinformed
in reference t<> Rev. M 0. Smith, who
: s thoroughly a Southern man and
i longtime a citizen of the county. He
j is, and was at the time of his nomina
| tion, absent in the northern part of the
j State, and it is not yet known whether
I he will accept the nomination ns
j made. We will say of him that he
j is a good man and good citizen, with
out assumption, and therefore popular,
and we think he was Selected by the
Loyal League to conciliate the wlrtes.
Dr. Carson is said to be a Marylan
der and clever gentleman, but our ac.
quaintance with him affords us no clue
j to his politics, except the fact ot hi
nomination bv the League, which is
generally sufficient among Conserva
tives.
Mr Cutler has boon highly spoken
of to us by a good and influential citi
zen of Brooks, but we know nothing
J about him.
Whether thr people of Thomas will
accept this ticket, nominate .another,
i or let the conservative interests go by
and fault, we are not able to tell. They
j seem so much depressed bv the short
| crop, the low prices of cotton, and the
but den of taxes jn.-t now due, that we
doubt whether they om he brought to
; the consideration of a political mat
ter. The election, however, is near at
band, and whatever is done must be
i done quickly.

We clip the above paragraph from
the Americns Ga Sumpter Republi
can. Nothing could be more out of
place and imprudent, and we regret
that a Georgia editor could so far fori
get the situation of the country as to
indulge in such remarks. The uned
ucated masses of tho corlored pcop'e
will readily construe suclt remarks in
to meditated evil toward them on the
part of the Democratic partv, and be
come inflamed by the sentiment,
whereas every sen-ible man knows the
editor of the Republican was only ini
dulging his disposition for braggado
cio. But it was in veiy bad taste,
Charley.
(Communicated.)
Mr. Editor: — I have just read
yoor notice of the “Mass Meeting on
Saturday.’’ in your paper of the 15th
inst., and note, part iculat ly, your re
marks relative to the non'attendance
of the whites on that occasion, to
which I des’re, brief! , to reply.
You ‘ regret that the white people
did not respond to tie call in a man
ner commensurate with the liberal
and conservative spirit evinced in the
words of the «igner',’’ and think, “af
ter the proposal for cooperation had
been made, it w uld have been tt ore
appropriate for it to have been regard
ed with a greater degree of c nsidera
tion than it was,” and that “the white
men should have gone to the meeting,
although : t was called by black men,
and evinced a disposition to listen to
the overtures of the signers of the
call.”
Having thus arraigned the white
people of Thomasville for declining
to participate in the meeting, you pro
ceed, peremptor Iv, to assign their mo- i
tives, viz: ‘‘a mistrust of the princi
pal actors in the meeting.” or ‘a far
of lutj c contumely at the hands of
the people.”
The whole cause of the difference
of opinion be'wecn yourself, Mr. Eib
itor, and the white people of Thontasi
ville, I apprehend, may easily he
found. loti must have read but a
portion of the call, and particularly
those expressions of a conciliatory
spirit, and a desire for cooperation,
which it contained, while the others
read the whole of it.
These found it a call on the whites
to unite with the blacks, not for eon
sultntion upon the great issues which
divide and agitate the country, not
for the discussions of the questions
affecting the interests of all clauses of !
our citizens, but, ignoring entirely all ;
difference of opinion on these subjects j
between the whites and the signers of
the call, as also of the propiieh/ of a
Convention being laid at all , arid
specially as to the action of the Con- j
tspn ft/ill if nrmvArWw] tlif* Prill inr/noel j
ed the whites to unite with them in j
the specific and definite purpose of se. I
lecling and nominating candidates for S
the Convention, whoso purpose shall ;
he the reconstruction of the State in j
accordance with the Acts of Congress \
Now, Mr. Editor, the whi es of j
Thomasville are opposed to the whole j
reconstruction machinery invented and
put in operation hy Congress as arbi
trary, unjust and unconstitutional, and
are determined, by no act of theirs, to
aid in fasti ring its iniquities upon
themselves and their posterity. How,
then, could they unite with any ot hors
to ini'iute arid carry forward the mea
sures for the degradation their souls
abhor ?
You think, however, that even the
few whites present “could have abso
lutely controlled the mini nation,” and,
if 1 correctly interpret your remarks,
you think the attend a nee should have
been in sufficient numbers to have
cured that ro-ult, and thereby have
defeated the objects of the signeis of
the call In this I differ with you. —
I believe any class of our citizens
have tho right peaceably to assemble
in puhlio meeting; tor the considera
tion and discussion of an' political
subject, and that when a meeting is
called by the advocates ol any partic
ular line ol policy, [or organization or
action, that no others arc privileged to
participate in its proceedings, and that
an attempt on the part of such to ac
quire control of its proceedings and
subvert the intention <>!' the orig in
tors, is eminently uniair and unjust
You further say “no one could pus
si* ly have been committed by the ac.
tion of llie me. tin against his will.’
The dogma, herein enunciated, i-, 1
think, held by yourself alone. Its
practical operation would lead to re
sults which you probat ly did not con
template, and which 1 do not think
you are prepared to accept. It is not,
I am happy to know, the doctrine re
cognized us correct aud honorable
when this country was republican.
1 have thus endeavored, Mr. Editor,
to satisfy you and the signers of the
call that other and higher reasons than
those imputed -ti your article influenc
ed the ahs 'iitees from the meeting on
Satur.hn last, aud, also, that while we
eheerlul'y accord to our oolore<. friends
the exercise, t-> their lulle.-t extent of
ail the rights and privileges guaran
teed them, there are rad cal differen
ces of opinion between us respecting
the policy ot Congressional R> con
struction which we are trot prepared
to surrender. Z.

: Tho Present State of tho Cotton
Trade.
The following views arid statements
rogurding the “ Pr sent State of the
j Cotton Trade,” promulgated iri an in.
i to resting and valuable pamphlet re
| cently published, ent tb and “ Remarks
on the Present State of the Cotton
Trade and the Financial Condition of
England:”
It is rn w generally admitted that
we shall receive more cotton this year
1 titan in anv previous one; but it will
be shown that fir the future the sup
ply of the raw material wil' always be
equal to tie demand, however much
nitty be requit'd to feed the mills of
■ all the spinners and manufacturers in
i the world. The fact is that markets
may bo overstocked ; and were all the
existing machinery kept in full work,
a greater amount of manufactured
goods would le produced than the
world could find use for. The limit
would be in the consumption and re
quirements rmt in the production. In
a word, there is much more cotton ma
chinery than can be profitably employ
ed. It may he taken for granted that,
even if present prices are maintained
and net esc did. we shall reeeivi 2,-
500,000 to 2,750,00'» bales from the

of the product, on of cotton in North
America is certainly seventy-five t<
eighty per con:, more than it was be
fore the war, owing to the rise in la*
hor and ail necessaries of life, the ci st
of production of cotton in India', Egypt
iii’.il oth r countries is certainly less

improved system of cultivation and ir j

next two or three years will not cxceid
from two and one-quarter millions to
two and one-half millions, of which
one itnd one-half to one and three*
quarter millions w II be available for
England. In a few years thr? grow
ing of cotton must be abandoned hy
its present cultivators altogether end
r ass into the bands of farmers, negroes
and others, who will tike up small
plantations of twenty to forty acres,
and grow there as much cotton as they
and their families can attend to with
out the aid of hired labor, just as
wheat and other cereals are grown iri
the North. It will ho found that it
cannot pay planters any more to eulti,
vate large tracts of land with cotton
and to hire negr -es to do the wo k.—
Labor will he too dear and too uncer
tain to make the ghance of profit worth
the risk ; but when a farmer settles on
twenty to forty acres of land, he and
his family can attend to the cultivation
offif ccn to twenty-five bales of cotton,
and be paid for their labor, besides
growing sufficient corn for their own

the negroes in America will be almost
cxtcrniinati and. Gradually the bulk of
them will be driven West, as the Ins !
dians were, and neglect and starvation
will kill them so in. Be this as it may, i
we may fully rely on getting, for tlm
next two or three years, no less than
three and a halt to thee and three i
quarter million of bales—a quantity i
which will bo more than i rn ugh to
produce the goods which the world ,
c..n absorb. It is now to be proved !
(hat tho present quantity of cotton mu- 1
chinery is vastly in excess of our
wants, and cannot be profi ably etn- j
ployed. In tin' year 1858, 1859, 1860, .
a de ree of prosperity prevailed among
Bpinncrs and manufacture!b eutli as !
had never before been witnessed.—
New mills, most of them ol iinn ease
s ze, sprang up during 1860 and 1861,
in till directions. Alderman Bayne
stated, in a paper read before the
Blackburn Mechanics’ Institution in
1860, that round about Blackburn
twenty-eight new mills were then be
ing built ; but the favorite places for
mil’s were Wigan, Bolton, Oldhaui,
Stuoleybridge, Bury, Dr.-tun, lineup,
Tnduimdon, Halifax, Burnley and
Newellurch, and such ons-o -the way
places us Nuneaton and Coventry. —
The increase in nulls since the last

IVotn eight to ton ■ million of spindles
; and titty t > sixty thousand looms.
Most el these mills were still being

Were the enormous mill powers to It

The exports ts 185 01 glutted the
World with cotton go. d-, and making
allowances lor the natural and legiti
mate increase in the e u.sumption, it
is certain that the human race could
not even t ow nb-o b the quantity of
goods winch was made annually in
those days. But we have now the

extent as to be wholly beyond 'he ca
pacity of merchants to grapple with
India and t Inna buy little or no more
cotton goods from ns than they i>ed
to do, notwithstanding the olio mous
increase in the aggregate value ol our
imports from those countries. I cry
little of the money which wa- made
by cotton speculators and dialers m
Manchester, Liverpool, America, and
India between 1869 and 1864 lias
been retained by those who originally
made it The Bombay people Ist
their gaincs, first; by the subsequent
fall in Cotton ; secondly, by specula
tor! in stock and shares; and now, ti ost
j houses are actually poorer than they
i were 1 efore the great rise in cotton
; took place. In fact, hardly one-third
of the commercial firms in Bombay
have remained in existence; tho oth
ers have failed or have wound up their
business and gone away. '‘ln Kiv< r
puol it is the same tiling, the money
was lost as quickly its it was made,
and very few houses hive retained the
wealth acquired between 1861 and
1864 ” Owing to the price of labor,
&e, having risen enorrn -usly since
186 U, the cost of spinning is 25 per
cent more than in that year. But
this is not all, the power and indepen
dence of the working classes have in
creased in a manner not to he express
el by figures. They are virtually
the masters of the trade, and mil -
owners w. 11 have henceforth more
trouble with tin in than ever before,
and although * lie operatives may be
unsuccessful ultimately in their war
against capital, the mischief done will
be very great. The chief e eu-y to
British industry are the trades’ unions.
In Germany and France, any attempt
by them to interfere between indepen
dent woikmen and their employers
would bring upon the perpetrators
such punishment as would prevent
similar attempts for a long time to
come. Naturally enough, legal forms,
the great saf guard of the govern,
ment, are set aside in such eonsequeri
ces ; hut as the evil which trade’s un
ions bring on any country is of the
gravest kind, and outweighs by far
the good wliiib they have ev r done
for their own order, such considera
tions should be of small importance.
But here in England neither govern
ment nor Darliament dare interfere;
arid they will not only soon be the
most formidable body in the state, but
one that knowing its power, will use
it for its own advantage to the very
utmost The position of' the cotton
spinners aid manufactures are much
aggravated hy their inability to com
bine, not only against the trades’ un
ions, but also against ‘the cotton spec,
ulating fraternity ’ They are jealous
of and di-trust one another, and i*' ev
er any agreement is made between
them it is sure to be broken soon by
some. In Febuary last, some spin,
tiers in Oldham, representing altogeth
i r about one million spindles, met in
the Manchester Exchange and agreed
to work only three days per week, and
signed a document to that effect.
Every one of those gentlemen went
home that day determined on bis own
mind not to carry out the convention,
and chuckling at bis cleverness in
having bound bis neighbors' hand-.
Ol course all remained ns I). fore, and
no reduction in the working hours
took place, but this sort of conduct
shows a jealousy and want of: dhesion
between the members of the cotton
industry which are as reprehensible as
they are injudicious. The cotton
spinners, by working short time, can
whenever they like, avoid incurring
losses. Reducing the production of
goods must raise prices, accompanied
as it is bv a diminut on itt the con
sumption of cotton, it will lover the
price of raw material and increase the
margin between cotton and varn. Got
ton dialers and brokers manage ‘ dif
ferently ” They present a compact
body to s'rangers and an unbroken
front to the buyer, always plotting and
combining how to keep up prices, and
they generally succeed in anything
they undertake against the utnii-cip'
lined band of spinners and manufac
turers.

j declares his intention to urge upon
i Congress, as soon us it meets in Nn
i ventper, two great measures which he
regards as essential to the safety of
j the country. The first is a general
I impeachment law, defining offences
| upon which an officer may be itnpcuch
! ed, and expressly declaring that no
| officer shall continue to exercise the
power of Itis office during his trial.—
I he -cc uid law which Mr. Stevens in
| tends to urge will provide that, under
j the authori'y of the Constitution and
upon the principles of the Declaration
of Independence, no State shall have
power to prohibit citizens of the Uni
ted States, whatever their race color or
religion from voting for President or
Congressmen. This law will establish
iiupuitial suffrage throughout the Un
ion.
Leading Republicans affirm that
Mr. Stevens will be sustained by Con
gress.
A correspondent writes from Woos
ter, Ohio, as follows: Beil Wade staid
over Sandy 1 ere, with (lon. Martin
W tilker. and is said to have remarked,
in his cito.ee and expressive language:
‘The d—d nigger and the G—d d—d
bonds have given Ol id to the Copper
heads this year.
And this chaste reverend language
fe it note >, c-.mes from the Radical
Dnsident of the Senate of the United
Sfat s, and a prominent candidate of
that patty for the Presidency.
Is a man a philanthropist only when lie
gives large sums of money to endow colle
ges, or for some sucli other purposes?—
We contend that such are only one class
of boncfactors. We have several which
I shall place before the public as soon as
occasion presents. For tho present we will
hold the mirror to the public, and present
Prof. 11. If. Kayton, of Savannah, Ga.,
whose name is now becoming familiar in
almost every house and hamlet in our
land: and the fact of the matter is, that it
could not well be otherwise. His great
remedies will, undoubtedly, in a short
lime, become famous throughout the civil
ized globe. Kaylon’s Oleum Vitae, the
great German Liniment, is almost infalli
ble in rheumatism, neuralgia, toothache,
nervous headache, sprains, &c. Kayton’s
Magic Cure, is an excellent remedy for di
arrhoea, cramp colics, cholera morbus, &c.
while Kayton’s Dyspeptic Pills are pre
eminently without equal in all bilious af
fections, dyspepsia, costiveness, liver com
t 1 tint, and whenever a mild cathartic is
necessary. They are entirely vegetable,
and act without griping; are so innocent
that they will not injure the most delicate
persons. The Kayton remedies are for
sale by druggists generally.— Ench-mge.
For sale in Thomasville by Dr. P. S
Bower.
