NVEEKLYBANENR-WATCHMAN TUESDAY AUGUST LET US MAKE NOMINATIONS. CONITtlTIONAL AMENDMENTS. There is a great deal of political cowardice in Athens and Clarke county, and .the democratic party i» actually afraid to make nominations, lest it be defeated. The conse quence is that a ceriein floating vote, which holds tl c b tlancc o‘ power when there is a split, has become criminally corrupt., and the liberal use of money is just as nec essary in carrying an election as it is to sustain life. It matte;* not how obscure and insignificant the office a man may aspire for in our . city and county, the only way he can get it is to lreely secure votes by the use of money, whisky or any other corrupting means in his power. As a natural result of such political corruption, there is no more chance for a poor man to secure an ollice here, where money oppos es him, than it is for him to buy a palace. Irrespective of fitness or justice, the candidate with the larg est purse, and who will the most pander to and bribe this floating vote, is invariably successfnl. Here the purchase ol votes at an election is looked upon as a legitimate and altogether proper transaction, and a man docs not consider that lie is perjuring himself when he takes tnat iron-clad oath in regard to the means used by hinr.ielfto ne elect ed. Custom makes law, and the candidate sees nothing wron ••buying a voter’s time” with a tew dollars. This custom is getting worse - and worse, and it is high time that a reform was made. The Uction last Saturday for bonds convinced us of this tact. Although Bon. W. A.

While the framers of the consti tution of 1877 recognized the con venience of occasionally enacting for a county a measure of purely local character, a large [majority of that body regarded the volume of local measures presented every year for the consideration of the general Assembly as an evil in legislation. Acting in this view they suggest ed on that instrument ceitain pr«- visions in regard toloca' legislation, which it was believed would accom plish two objects, viz: 1st, reduce the number of local measures pro posed. 2d, consolidate into one act similar measures when pionosed separately for different counties. To accomplish these objects all local hills since 1S77 are to originate in the house of representatives, are to be refericd to the committee on local and special bills for consideration, without having been read in the house (except by a two thirds vote allowing the reading and reference). A local bill cannot he considered by the committee nor reported by them to the house unless it was introduc ed within fifteen days after the ot- CAKF PONDS A FAILURE. The carp ponds in this communi ty may be pronounced a complete failure, il we measure success by the standard of expeciatiou. it was saik, truly, perhaps, that they would be batched out by many thousands each season. It was al so believed toat they would weigh irom one to two or more pounds in a year. The latter prediction haa not been realized. It involved the production of thousands of pounds ol flesh in a little pond not larger than a garden. Thia was an impos sibility the way the ponds and fish weie cared lor. To have accomplished the expected results, would have requir ed tons of nutritious food furnished by the human hands. Elve or six hundred bushels of grain or it* equivalent, would have been neces sary to secuse the growth of fish anticipated. From 20 to 50 pounds of fish is as much as could be ex pected in a small pond in one sea son. This would require seveial hundred pounds of nutritious lood, a full crop of bugs, worms, grubs and flies, that would be likely to find their way into a small fish pond in one season. If the owners of fish pends will sit down and figure a lit tle, they will find at least one inevi table cause ol failure.—Registei. COLLISION AT BRUNSWICK. Two Meomottvei Boo Into a Fasitngtr Train. Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 15- While the passenger train with the Savannah excursionists was nearing the curve in the southern part ifae city to-day \WO locomotives were discovered *V pidly appioach- ing. Tne brakes were at once ap plied and the speed of the engines was almost entirely checked, but the locomotives were running tw fast to entirely prevents collision. The engineers jumped, thereby sav ing their lives but one had hit ankle sprained. None of the passengers were hurt. The two locomotives •nd one passenger coach were bpd- ly wrecked, and the tender to one of the locotnotives was damaged. The blame seems to attach to the engineer who was taking, the loco motives to the tank, when he should have known the pazsengei train was due. it was a question vitally involving REV. ABRAHAM MARSHALL. Whipped In Augusta, for Preaching a Bap tist Sermon. Something over a hundred years ago, the Rev. Abraham Marshall, a Baptist minister, preached in Au gu .ta, Ga. It was the first sermon ever preached there by a Baptist minister. Tne good people ot the town were greatly enraged that the Baptist church heresies ot the , , , . , should he preached* in their midst ganization of the gencial assembly, j ^ th#t th £j r ch j|d ren ,„d servant except by a two-thirds vote. . should be exposed to the damning This being a constitutional pro- Baptist doctrines. For the heinous the validity of ail local acts the prosperity of our city, il was by the hardest woik that enough vo ers were gotten out to secure the desir ed end. This floating vote held back to be bought, and theoutspok- on motto was, “No money, no bal lot.” To put a stop to this outnge, we shall advocate and urge, with all the force and power that we may possess, the importance of the democracy of our city and county- meeting and by a primary election nominating candidates for every ot- fice, it matters not how insignificant itmay.be. Do not let us have public meetings to do this work, that can be stocked in the inte-est of any candidate, but ballot-boxes, under the charge of honest and reliable men, be placed at each polling pre cinct, that every aspirant for office, whether he be rich or poor, can have an equal showing; and then let every democrat pledge himself to abide the result, and vote and work for the erndidate who leads ~the ballot, it matters not whether he befriend or foe. The Knights of Labor and working classes ol our city say they will vote With us in this movement of reform, and hence there will be no division in the democratic ranks. So i'l the name of political purity, and with a desire to put a stop to this infamous traffic of bartering in votes, we call upon Capt. C. G. Talmadge, chair man of our county executive com mittee, to convene a public meeting of the democrats of our city and county, that steps may be ‘aken looking to the nomination of all officers—member of the legislature, county ollicials and municipal offi- er—obv primary election. The ticket so chosen will triumph, and we do not believe there is any can didate who will dare to face public opinion, when so expressed, and remain in the race. Now it costs as much or more to get a position as the place is worth, and unless a man has a bank account at his back he is literally disfranchised from holding office in Athens or Clarke county, when opposed by a candi date who has money or friends with money. We are in earnest about this, and every democrat with whom we have talked heartily agrees with us. We must some day draw line on the pernicious custom ol buying votes, and the sooner we begin the better. It is corrupting unlawful and disgraceful. It is not right that a candidate be taxed the extent of the salary connected with the office to which he aspi o elected, and this is just what s being done at every campaign We want to hear ftom the people on this issue. Let them discuss it. and bring to hear a public sentimen in favor ol nominations that no can didate can afford to defy. The day that the democracy of Athens and Claike county have the courage to nominate a ticket will be the dawn of the grandest political triumph our people have ever gained—and t minate a ticket means to elect it. CONGRESSMAN 1I.VMM0N'). If Judge Stewart defes. s M Hammond for congress, as is threat ened, it will indeed be a misfortun not only to tlie Filth district,- but to Georgia. Not but what judge Slew art is a good democtat and will creditably represent his people, but Mr. Hammond is a man of unusual ability and fame, and wields an in fluence in congress tl.at will be hard to replace. He can always get the ear ot the House, and his words carry with theih conviction. While apparently a cold man to the world, Mr. Hammond is devoted to his people and his state, and not a con gressman that has ever represented Georgia has done more to advance its prosperity and honor. While we believe in rotation in office, when a men develops the wisdom and influence of Mr. Hammond, it is the height ol lolly to displace him tor an untried officer. There arc few such men in the state as Con gressman Hammond, and we can not afford to dispense with his ser vices. ns to their passage, must strictly conform thereto. The practical working of these constitutional provisions has not accomplished the intention ol h framers of the instrument, for the number of local measures asked for lias in no w»ae d.min shed, while the proc ess provided for their consideration consumes much more of the time of the house and requires much more labor than in the methods of considering and acting on bills, general in their na— -arc. "As an example, after the ex piration ol fifteen days from the or ganization of the noust, a member receives from the authorities of the county he represents, a local bill, with the request that its provisions become a law - . First, he asks leave to introduce the bill. A two-thirds vote being necessary to give the leave, the house must of course di vide and be counted on this mo tion, and the journal must show the vote. Then the bill is read by- its tftle. Then (general!) ) the mem ber moves the nouse thet tne b''i be read the first time and refeircd to a standing committee. This (as the bill has not gone to local commit tee) requires under the constitu tion another division and count of the house, ami the number voting aye and no entered on the journal All this before the oil! is even read the first time. My remembranc- - is that during the sitting of the last general assembly there were over twelve hundred bills and resolu tions introduced, and a majority ol these were of a local nature. Be lieving that unnecessary time was consumed and much labor imposec by these resolutions, without the accomplishment of any good to the state, the general assembly at its last session passed an act by the re quisite vote to amend the constitu tion by striking out paragraph section 7, article 3, which contain: the provisions I have referred to, Under a further provision of the constitution this action ot the gen eral assembly must be ratified by the people at a general election be fore it will go into effect. Hence according to-day, the governor ha: issued his proclamation inviting the people to vole on the adoption of the amendment. The effect of the amendment, if adopted, will be to place total bills, so far as their in troduction and consideration is con cerned, on same footing as general bills, except in so far as the adver tisement of the intention to apply lor, which is prescribed by ar.othei paragraph of same article, and which is not aflected by the pro posed amendment. As to the sec ond amendment to be voted on, ar ticle 7, section 1, piyt 1 of the con stitution restricts the general assem bly from exercising the power taxation, except for certain specified purposes. Among these are tc pply the s fldiers waj Inst a li n or limbs n the military service the confederate states with substan tial artificial limbs during life. When this provision was carried into effect by appropriate legisla tion it was found that a number soldiers while in the service of the confederacy had received wound from which they had been perma nently injured, in some cases totally disabled. Unless sucb an one had lost a limb, his case was not covered by the constitutional provision, and the amendment was proposed and passed for the purpose, if ratifud by the people, of allowing the gen eral assembly in some way to aid the confederate soldier lining in Georgia, who had been permanent- y injured in the service. These are the objects of the pro posed amendment, as I understand them. Respectfully yours, &c., Wm. A. Little. offense, poor Abraham Marshall was tied up and publicly whipped in the Episcopal church yard. There has been a great change in the religious sentiment of August* since the day Marshall was scourg ed. The Baptist church in Augus ta is now influential, popular and well sustained. We have seen.it stated that there are 17 Baptist churches in the city with a member ship of 9,000, but we suppose the statement as to membership is a mistake, and that it really includes those more favorably inclined *~ that church than any other. Tne whipping ot Mr. Marshal affords material for serious though, he men who treated him so unjust and so cruelly, were in all prob ability sincere and conscientious. They thought they were discharg ing their duty to their fellow man and Creator. We readily see how narrow, prejudiced and inhumane they were. We have plenty of men in our midst who are as narrow and uncharitable for their day as the met. #ho whipped Abraham Marshall. They condemn men and men hich they know but little, if any thing. The same bitter, fiendish prejudice that placed stripes upon the back of Mr. Marshall still lives. Let the narrow biggots and self- onstituted judges of mankind take need that they are the merest atoms tpon the gldbe, that they see the faintest glimmerings of the great ruths ot nature and revelation, and et them become liberal and charita ble.

LET THEM ARBITRATE. of lMetunt A. Stovall, in Auguua Chronicle. The belief that the mill presidents nd factory hands can arbitrate thcii differences in the present emergen- :v is followed by the conviction that hey should do so as early as possi ble. This idea has been growing n the minds ol the people, and the Digestion of a board ot arbitration as'urged by the Chrodicle meets with general favor. The present troubles appeal di tectly and indirectly to every man in the community. The business mcr. are vitally concerned. Tne cotton', rade is interested in a speedy -oltuirn of the differences, and all .he citizensof Augusta are concern ed in some way in effecting a solu tion of the matter. It has ceased tobc alone the bu'iness of the mill owner and the mill operative, lor it is a matter of vital public moment It appeals to the commercial and manufacturing interests of the town and, further, to the peace and good order of the city. It involves a high er law than self-interest, for it ma mean public protection. The me who, in the face of arbitration any possible adjustment, persist in per petuating this trouble, must take Jhe whole responsibility of their action, and forfeit public sympathy and public supp rt in any further emer gency. This applies to capital and labor alike. Let the mill men then'select a cit izen, and let the operatives select a citizen, each beyond the influence or interest of both, and these two to choose a third party, and to this tri bunal let the trouble oe referred. We shall insist upon the plan be cause we believe it meets the best sentiment here, and will serve the best interests of the com munity.

Macon, Ge., Aug. 15—At 5:30 o’clock this afternoon a ball of waste, carefully wrapped and satu rated with kerosene, and supposed to contain a charge of dynamite, was found concealed in a growth of weeds immediately in the rear of the Brown House. Its discovery caused some excitement, as it is supposed that it was placed there for a sinister purpose.

I had a good room, a good bed, and the dusky woman pat her self oat to tempt my poor appetite with her oookery. I had (500 In gold with me, and ol this sum I placed (450 in Barlow's hands for safekeeping. I had been told that the natives had no acraplts against thieving and robbery, and I soon had j proofs of the fact. I had not been In the place (our days when my room was raided and a lot of clothing carried oil. I had a J trunk with a patent lock, and as the thief coaid not get Into it be would have carried it OH on his back had he not been inter rupted.

I had an American shotgun and revolver with me, and, after getting a little strength In my legs, 1 began rambling around. The name of my man wae Yu. and he could •peak only a few words of English. We went up nud down the shore at first, and I had pretty good luck shooting small birds. On the third or fourth day we went toward Ihe hills. Yu carrying my gnu and a basket containing luncheon. Bar- low had told me that there were some old ruins worth teeing about four xdUse from the suburbs, and I meant to take things easy, and be gone all day. We punned a rough highway toward the hills, and stopped about every half mile to rest. It must have been fully noon when we arrived at a place in the hills where a temple had once stood. A good deal of the material had been carried off, but there weie many r broken col umns and bloeka of stone'lying around, and a considerable amount of masonry woe yet standing. 1 was seated do a great block of stone eating luncheon, while Yu was 100 feet away trying to uncover n small animal wMch had dogged Into a file of rubbish, when I was suddenly confronted by five as hard-looking cutthroats as any traveler ever saw. They were armed with tnuae keta, single-barrelled pistols, and murder ous-looking knives. Owing to my posi tion they had to approach me in front, end I bad no sooner caught eight at them then I sprang up, revolver In hand, and in one breath called to' Yu and tn the next demanded their business. The leader, as 1 was soon made aware, could epeak English. At a sign from him flee muskets covered me at short range, end he called upon me to surrender, Yu was standing on a block with my gunlnhla bands. They, had given him no attention, and If he had had the nerve to open fire at their back* I believe I eould have driven them off. However, whan he saw my fix be laid down the gun and took a run for It, and was out of eight In a mo ment. When I saw this I laid down my revolver, and the men approached and took possession of 1L I knew them to be robbers or worsq, but I was not a bit rat tled. Indeed, everything had happened so swiftly that I had not had time to get off my nerve.

I expected he would rant and rave, and he did, but I turned my back and gave Mm no farther attention. After a stormy consultation with hi* fellows he came back to me and announced that my proposition was ac cepted. My man should be lent for the money, and as toon as he returned with It we were to be set at liberty. Of coarse, I eould not be sure that they would not kill me after getting the cash; but It was a risk I had to run.
