Agricultural Convention.
The Agricultural Convention of the
State assembles at Koine on the Bth
of August, and a large attendance
from varions portions of the State is
expected and will no doubt be present.
This we have every reason to beleive
will be the case, not only because of
the very general interest which has
been elicited upon the matter, and the
fact that the whole county is interest
ed in the successful prosecution of Ag
ricultural demonstrations looking to
the improvement and furtherance of j
the landed interests of our whole peo- ;
pie, but also the private expressions of
opinion which we have had upon the
subject. It is useless for ua to say
anything commendatory of an object,
which addresses itself so favorably to
every man’s miud. After all, the reul
prosperity of our people is based upou
the successful working out of the ag
ricultural . wealth of the land. With
out this there can be no prosperity for
m. W r e are essentially afi agricultural
people, and all the prosperity of the
past, our wealth and refinement, and
intelligence has been in the largest
measure based upon this fact. What
ever we may owe to manufacturers or
to other sources of material prosperity*
one thing is apparent beyond all cavil,
that to this, and this supremely above
all the rest, we owe whatever we may
have been in the past, or are iu the
present The change in the labor sys
tem of the South, the cramped and
crippled condition of our people in the
pros< cutiou of this, the great, and we
had like to have said, the only source
of prosperity for the future, not ouly
unaided but absolutely oppressed by
the powers that be, demands at our
hands a still greater energy, thought
ful enquiry, and the concentration of
all our forces, to redeem, if possible,
our agricultural interests from the
dangers and difficulties which surround
them, if not to save them from utter
destruction.
Other people, it may be, from posi
tion aud circumstance, can devote them
selves to other callings, but God and
nature have constituted us an agricul
tural community, auo to this, aud this
source only call the South mainly
look for her future of greatne.'S and of
wealth. To aid iu the pros* cutiou of
|t... - - • 1 ♦ l-» rv KIM. r% itSVWM _ :
ty of Georgia, are all the Fail’s and
Conventions, and gatherings of the
people tailed, not merely as a matter
of amuse meut and recreation aud
friendly greetings, and generous ri
valry in husbandry, but by an inter
change of thought, a comparison of
views, aud an earnest enquiry into the
varied surroundings of the whole sub
ject, so to direct public and private
action and industry as to work out in
the best possible manner, the best' in
terests of the whole country. To aid
in this great cause is this Convention
of the State called at Rome, and we
earn estly bespeak for it a hearty and
large attendance on the part of the
people of Bartow, and the surrounding
country. It is to be a Convention of
the State, and not a mere county af
fair, and large numbers of people from
Middle aud Lower Georgia, are ex
pected to be present, and will doubt
less be there. “It is very much hoped
that Bartow also, will come out, and
help the good people of Rome aud
Floyd, show the Convention what sort
of folks we have in the mountains.”—
We say then, in view of the interests
involved, and the personal pleasure
and profit to do derived from the trip,
let as many of our people as can do
so, not fail to be present.
On the 9th it is proposed to have a
general good time at the Fair Grounds,
a basket dinner, et cetera—perhaps a
mule race—certainly speeches—Gen.
Toombs : ex-Governor Johnson wiU
address the people.
Persons desiring to attend, will be
returned free.. They must, however,
procure tickets with that understand
ing, or what are known as “Excursion
Tickets;” upon being stamped at
Rome as evidence of attendance, they
will return tlie holder free.
The New York Riot. —St. Patrick’s
Day is usually observed iu all of tbe
larger cities of this country with pro
cessions aud public displays by our
citizens of the Roman Catholic faith.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the
Pontificate of Pope Pious has recently
been celebrated iu New York, Cincin
nati, and other places, on the Sabbath
with processions, music, military dis
play, and general carous and. But while
the Catholics are allowed all this lib
erty without molestation, they show a
shocking lack of toleration and good
sense, by mobbing a procession of
Irish Protestants iu New York. Ou
the 12th instant, the Orange celebra
tion was attacked by a mob of Irish
Catholics, several were killed and many
wounded. The mob was dispersed by
the military and the most intense ex
citement prevailed. It is said that a
Protestant League has bet n organized
and where the matter w 11 end, none
can tell.

Intemperate Monkeys. — In Darfour
and Senaar, Africa, the natives make a
fermented beer of which the monkeys
are passionately fond. Aware of this
the natives go to parts of the forest
frequented by the monkeys, and set on
the ground calabashes full of the
liquor. As soon as the monkey sees it
and tastes it, he utters loud cries of
joy, that soon attract his comrades.
Then the orgie begins, and in a short
time they show all degrees of intoxica
tion. Then the negroes appear. The
few moukeys that come too late to get
‘‘fuddled” escape. The drinkers wre
too far gone to distrust the negroes,
but apparently take them for larger
specimens of their own species. When
a negro takes one by the hand to lead
him off, tbe nearest monkey will cling
to the one that thus finds support,
and endeavor to get off also. Another
will grasp him, aud so on, until a ne
gro leads a staggering line ot ten or
fifteen monkeys. And when finally
brought to the village, they are se
curely caged aud gradually sobered
down but for tw r o or three days a
gradually diminishing supply of liquor
is given them, so as to reconcile them
by degrees to their slate of captivity.

A Northern Opinion of Georgia.
A correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce, making a tour
through the'Southern States, speaks j
in flattering terms of our State.
Writing from Columbus #n a recent »
date he says:
Right across a short bridge over the
Chattahoochee river, not us far from ,
where I wit os Brooklyn is from New
York, is xYlab -ma. Business men of
Columbus live on the hills of Alabama,
which look like the hills arouud the
lower bay —the Highlands of Navesink,
w t*a the Chattahoochee to perfect the
general resemblance.
I leave Georgia with regret, for she
is from her eastern to her western
boundary, a good, solid, prosperous,
kind and hospitable State. Her peo
ple are as flue specimens of humanity
as are found on the green earth, and
besides being intelligent and of far
reaching ken, are doing more for the
generul good of the couutry by their
honest thrift and industry than they
will ever receive credit for. They are
greatly belied by the partisan press of
the North.
I heard more of Georgia politics in
Washington last Winter than I have
heard in fifteen days intimate associa
tion with her people. I believe you
told me to find, describe and bring
back a Georgia ku klux. I have tried
to get one, but they cannot be had for
love or money. Alligators and mock
ing birds are sold as pets for trifling
sums, but the Georgia ku klux are like
the Georgia Washingtons. There was
only one—and he died.
There has never been an originized
band in opposition to law or order.
Notwithstanding all the reports
about the ku kluxes in South Carolina
yet there was more danger from the
one act of arming the negroes in that
State than there ever has been from
the ku klux. Good citizens have al
ways been safe there, except from fear
of negioes, armed and incited to riot
by bad men. Any man from any pai t
of the world would be as safe in South
Carolina now as anywhere. As for
Georgia, I think it is to-day the most
peaceable, Slate, without exception, iu
the Union. Her cities are well gov
erned, and crime is a matter of rare
occurrence. You hear of chicken
stealing occasionally, but murder and
robberies are very rare. The people
of Georgia are the best people to mind
their own business I have seen yet.
To say they do not occasionally men
tion politics socially would be an in
sult to their intelligence. They under
stand the situation exactly.
