MB. “Cip,” the sprightly correspondent
of the Albany Airier, has a way of celling
things by plain names. In his last, he says,
that Ku Klux llungerford, looks like be
might be a eroes between a sore-eyed spring
chicken and a negro’s dog. That old Ad
kins wants to votes particular negro-wenoh,
which accounts for his advocaoy of female
suffrage; and that Se iator Speer is taking
lessons in elocution from somebody’s par>
rot, and gives the benefit of tnis knowledge
to listening Senators. “Cip” is a “brick,”
and we like to read anything from his pen.
Stats EooKoar,— Two hundred and
thirteen Legislative members and about
forty Clerks spending nine dollars apiece
per day ; cay $22 H) to eeo whether Bullock
bad any right to advance to Kimball $35,
000 for furnishing the new Capitol, and
whether he had any business to let his pri
vate Secretary make e thousand dollars
collecting a two thousand dollar vacoina
tioo bill against the State.
THE LEGISLATURE.
The main business of that tody since onr
last has been the consideration of the reso
lution of Mr. Price, member from Lutnpkin.
the substance of which was, that the
subject of the e 1 i g i b i 1 i t y of negroes
to hold office, be referred to the Supreme
Court. Mr. Scott, of Floyd, made an able
speech against the resolution. Messrs.
Morgan, O nes’, Kiwis, Tumlin a id others,
nlso opposed it. Messrs. Shumate, Price,
Philips, Lane and others, in saver. After
two days discussion the resolution finally
passed the House, and will pnbably pass
the Semite.
In the Senate, a great deal of time was
spent considering the claim of Sharps Rifle
Company, for gone sold the State, in the
fall of 1860. There ia twen'y-five thousand
dollars, with interest due on tho claim. It
was lost ou Thursday ; but re-considered,
and temporarily laid on the table Friday.
About a dozen speeches was made upon it.
Senator Nunnnlly made a very able and
elaborate speech of about three hours dura
tion, in favor of the claim. The argument
ogainst tho claim, was that it is a war debt,
and thereupon repudiated. The friends of
the claim reply, that the debt was made
long bufore Oeorgia seerdc I; slid thereup
on, should Ire paid. It will probably pass
the Senate. Its fate in the House is doubt
fol; though a special committee have re
pelled in lavor of it. Wc hear the Judici
ary Committee favor it. It is a somewhat
strange case : common justice says Geor
gia should pay her just debts; lmt Geor
gia was compelled to repudiate her war
debt. The.question is, could .she make u
war debt before she placed herself in a hos
tile gttitudc by withdrawing from the
Union? Tliat joe Brown bought the guns
in contemplation of war, is doubtless true;
l.ut did Georgia do any vrar-like act until
•he adopted' the'oniinance of secession 1
Wo think not. Hence, it seems, that tak
ing a legal view of the question, the obli
gation to pay for tho guns ia just us great
as it would be, bad they been purchated
in 1850 ; ton years before the war.
The special order of business for to-day,
is the discussion of the movement to organs
ice and endow, a State Emigration Bureau.
This is a very important movement, and
will doubtless, elicit and interesting dis
cussion. We hope tho experiment will be
tried. It can't do harm. It may do a vust
amount ol good.
A MIRACLE.
The reporter of ono of the Atlnnta pn»

ing circumstance, os transpiring in the
Georgia House of Representatives during
the progress of Ur. Scott's speech on Fri*

“A most singular incident occurred

„ WU.VJ IS CoNGHEiri DOING ?
Wg have net for sotne time puoi'mh-d ti e
skeleton teh grums fn.in Washington from
tlie foot that they have i inoraced little mat
ter of interest. The subject of reconstrue
ting Georgia is still under agitation, and
much bitterness of feeling is manifested
by the dominant power. It is not, bower*
er, belidved . that anything of importance
will be done before the inauguration of
Grant. As this day approaches more and
more anxiety is felt by leading Radicals, as
to the policy of the new administration.—
They very much fear he will not submit to
their dicatiun. Not a word can they gath
er from him on the subject, lie will not
even indicate by words or intimation who are
to compose his Cabinet. This is very unu
sual, as ell bis predecessors have rosde
known, In advance of inauguration, who
were to he their Cabinet advisers. Grant
ia not even committed to Rad ion l politics
by any public or private announcement,
hie only platform having been, “Let us
have peace.” In fact he goes into office
more untrammelled than any previous
President. lie has, however, oppied
Congress already on two inuairtant meas
ures.—the tenure of office law, and the
merging of tho Indian Bureau with the
War D“parrmcnt. He insists on tho repeal
of the lormer, and strenuously urges the
abolishment of the Indian Bureau. Turn
ing over (he Indian business to the War
Department, thus abolishing lots of plund
ing officers, turning out scores of officers,
and putting the murderous savng •» a' the
mercy of the sword. This ought to have
been done long ago, instead ot which the
government, through tho Indian Bureau,
has practically f>r years been off.-ring the
savages premiums on the scalps of helpless
border settlers. Grant’s po itton «m these
two measures gives great reason to hope
that he will make us a much better l’resi
dent than was anticipated. For the press
ent, tho Radicals at Washington will be
too busy looking after him to do a vust
amount of mischief South.
The following is the 15th Constitutional
Amendment a- agreed upon by tho joint
Committee of both Houses, and recently
offered in the Senate:
Mr. Warner introduced a joint resolution
proposing the following ume dineat to the
Cotis itutio i;
Article 15. The right oj citizens of the
United States to hold • Hie-shall nor he de
nied or abridged hy the Unit <1 States or
any State, on ucoouot of property, race,
color, or previous condition of servitude,
and every innlti citizen of the United State*
of the age of twcutvone years or liver, and
who is of sound mind, shall have an equal
vote at all elections in the State in which
be shall have actually resided lor a period
t>f one year nezt preceding such election,
except such as may hereafter engage in in
surrection or rebellion against the United
Sjiutes, and such us shall Its duly convicted
of treason, felony, or other infamous crime.
Sec 2 Congre-s shall have power to en
foice tins article tiy np| roprtate legislation.
Mr. Stewart moved to amend it ny strik
ing out the first S“crtoti and Nubsn roring
that r-ported by the S-nst- Judiciary C m
mittee: “The right of oitiz'n* u| tin* Ift.i
t—l States to vote nod hold dlhie aho II n -t
be denied nr abridged hy the United Suites
or by noy Soiie on aconunt of race, color,
or previous condition of .servitude ”
Mr. Williams nwvvl tn insert before cit.
izoos the Words natural born.
Mr. Di dixie suggested that native
horn Would ho liefer, hur Mr. William.-
d:d not accept the umendment.
Mr. Unwind offered the following ns n
substitute lor the joint re-oluti.m reported
by the JadioiHry Committee :
Citizens of the United States of African
decent shall have the same right to vote
ar.tl hold office as other citizens
Mr. Cor belt moved to add, “hut China
men not horn in the United Stare* and In
dians not taxed, ahull not be dceuied as
made citizens.”
The last amendment offered shows the
liberality of spirit that actuates the Radi
cal party. Africans ere good enough to
vote and hold office, but Mr. Indian and
John Chinimnn are nut. Guffeo can be re
lied upon to ma'e a good Radical, hut they
can’t trust the Red matin or the Colestiul.
This 15th amendment, if adopted hv
Congress, will of 2., uirw nayo t» he adopted
hy three fourths the States before it be
come.* a part of the Constitution. We are
inclined to the opinion that this amendment,
will travel tho same road as the celebrated
Nth amendment, afiertho u*u.il amount of
skirmishing sa l matoeaveiing. ad this will
close up for the piot'iit the reconstruction
business) even then we are not disposed
to despond; we shall then go to work to
make Democratic niggers, and we appre
hend, frura past experience, that in a short
time, Democracy will again wax strung and
triumphant as in days of yore. Wo candid
ly believe that Radicalism, as a power in
the land, will aot survive Grant’s admiriie
trillion ; and we surmise that Grant already
has made the discovery, and is shaping his
course accordingly. Let us hope for the
beet.
Wft-Frotn purues eonvsiMiiii with affair*
in Atlanta, we lenro that Bullock is “not
s > rampant as ho use to was,” and that he
is growing somewhat conservative. That
“little on pleasantness” with the Treasur
er, has doubtless led him to think that the
Legislature might have a esuae of quarrel
with him, and Le is disposed to harmonize,
which wo rt-o onm-udoil him to do sotno

T e paragraph i o relation to this Gotten

io disparage the e-nims id nth«r varieties,
but to place pr ,min«mly heforo the public
the new ami Valuable -nriety grown by Mr.
Tbrelkcid, for the benefit of planter*, and
to be instrumental in disseminating inf >r
matiun which vre believe will result in
great good to the world, and especially to
the planting interest. We simply gave, in
the paragraph referred to, the price obtain
ed for a lot of this Cotton in Savannah, be
cause it was grown by Mr. Tbrelkeld, and
another party near this city ; bat as Mr.
Ware, in the Atlanta Intelligencer, has
given the “Peeler” the benefit of a half col
umn, we propose briefly to present the
claims of the “Tbrelkeld” seed. In the first
plac , we remark that Mr. Tbrelkeld has
no seed f >r sale, except a few to his neigh*
burs, and therefore we cannot be charged
with “puffing’’ for the benefit of the pro
ducer of this matchless Colton. Tbs fo’-
lowiug is the article frurn the Intelligen
cer :
Pkxi.rb Cottoh.—ln the columns of your
valuable issue of the 31 ultimo, my atten
tion has been nttruf.t«d by an exHTOt from
the Griffin Star, headed. "Bent this if You
cun,” in which th« following somewhat ex
traordinary hinguago occurs : “Much ha*
bean said thmuzb the piper* of toe Peeler,
and other varieties of long staple ootton*.
hut we have yet to learn that any of these
Imve been s dd in any Southern market for
more than 35 cent* a pound, except the
Threlkold cotton, An.” Though a grower
ot the Peeler ootton. and townie extent in
terested in the sale of its seed, yet this con
sideration nl -tie would not have prompted
mo to respond to the above, but aside from
liny selfish cons derail n*. the gn at agri
cultural and commercial interests of tho
country—now just beginning the struggle,
to free it-elf from the slough of bankruptcy
and despond into which it hud fallen, de
mands in the most imperative manner, that
truth should b" elicited upon every subject
of this character ; that the planter’s en( rgy
and industry should he con entrnted upon
that variety of our great staple, which ex
perience prove* will be um-t remunerative
to him, mid add to tho general wealth and
prosperity of the South, now just again be
ginning to claim her agricultural superior-
ity over the wt! i.
I have nothing to say about other varie
ties of out ton, n-w recommended to the
planters of your Stft e, more than if expe
rience t'ciehe* that their culture, on necount
of superiority of staple and abundance of
ipeht, is must pr 'fltnhle, then every consid
eration of justice r ol iu; crest requires that
"fl shodld'retider them that praise which i*
due. As to the superiority of the staple ol
the various varieties of the Cotton tnw of
fice I to the planters, I know ol hut one in*
stance where their respective merits have
been fully investigated and compared by
Competent nnd disinterested authorities,
and that was at tho Stole Fair at Mont
gomery, Alabama, some two months ago,
where every variety of superior cotton was
on exhibition ; and the t.-sultof the com
parison can bo -eeii »t Messrs. Pratt AJRd
wards’, in the -hope of the nieJal awarded*
the "Peeler Ootton.'' As to what price
this ootton bring* in the vurin»» cotton
marts, I hold left-is of Messrs. Foster.
Gwyo A Cos., cotton fa -tors .if Now York,
that they had sold the “I‘eolor Cotton”
there th.s season at fifty-seven cents per
pound. I I o'd nee not id nulos from
the same |nr ies nt furty*fiv» cents.—
I hold n o not . f sales Imui Messrs.

an inferior grade -.1 cotton.) nude at New
Orleans, nt thiriy-llve cents, when oihe.
varit tios of same grade were bringing
twenty-one-ttiid-a.-half cents. With the
'‘Peeler Cotton,” it is not cca-iotially that,
II account of *u|s*ri»t' handling, that n
halo is sold at a greatly enhanced price ;
lmt out of ten thousand hales sept to M n
ket this season. l_ have yet to Irani Unit
one has sold for less than ten! cents per
pound innrn than varieties of nritnmy c‘t
tun. But superiority of staple and price
ulnne is not wlmttlie jJ-nter demand-, Mr.
Editor. This has been di-covsred long
since, in countless varieties of ootton. But
the next question of no less importance
than this is —ln it a prolific cotton ? If it
does not possess this element, it may lie no
mure valuable to the planter than uur or
dinary growth. For nn answer to ties
question, which so much interests us all,
lot tho planter at mice open a correspond,
epee with nnv N■’ “ Orleans merchant lies
•piatnred with the growth of the ' Feoler
Button, for they are acquainted#irh every
lentnr« of this cotton, it is two months b''»
fore tho seed nre to lie put in the ground,
and utnp'e time is given to investigate ful
ly, so that there be no necessity for being
deceived about this cotton in any particu
lar.
Mr. E liter, let every planter struggle
with tho other, with the proper manly feel
ing for emulation only -rising above tiny
unworthy prejudice, but doteratined to
award merit where merit is due—having
no wish to detract from that which tends
to build up the scorched and wasted places
of the South. We should turn to every*
thing which looks to our ngricu Rural inter*
ests with admiration, and to him who ad
vances it us a public benefactor. Wbo is
it that does not honor Georgia’s great ng
riculturakist, David Diion ? lie is an hon
or and an ornament to your State, and
should be ohcri-shed with pride and grati
tude by her people—for he has successfully
revolutionized tho old and su ctdal system
nf agriculture, and done more, perhaps,
than any one man toward putting the
South once more upon the high road to ag
ricultural and commercial prosperity.
U. R. am.
We repeat what we have already said,
that no lots of Cotton wprs sold in -any
Southern market f>r more than thirty-five
cents u pound, ex ept tho “Threlkeld Cot
ton/’ Extraordinary its this as-ortinn may
seem to Mr. Ware, it is nevertheless a fact
which cannot be soeceßsfully controverted.
It is o—erted, how ever, that a bale of “Pee
ler Colton” was sold in New York for flfty
goven cents a pound, at auction, as a fancy
arnde, (whi.d. <acr Mr. Ware omitted to
m*"'' ) .iuJ tlmt «•>**»< err -nt Sales of the

ffii.u .2 t-> 45 cents I W« say that a lot of
12 hales, ginned on a common saw gin and
imhfl'eren’ly packed, brought in a Southern
market fifty ■one cents n pound, and the
bs-t bale of the lot, if it had been sold
singly, would have commanded, in Sayan- I
nab, 75 cants per pound, and if the lot bud
been told at auction in New YarJc,wit*<».
Have it would have commanded at least 75
cents a pound 1 We assert this, because a
few pounds of the “Tbrelkeld Ootton” was
ginned on the McCarthy gin, and valued
at that prioe. The firm of N. A. Hardee’s
8 >n & Go., of Savannah, say that this Cot
ton is the best of the upland varieties, and
their opinion as long and experienced cot
toa dealers, is certainly entitle! to great
respect.
We claim that this Ootton is more pro
lific than any other known to us. An in
telligent and reliable planter bus informed
us that he oounted during the past season,
over three hundred matured bolls on a single
stalk, and Judge Benson Roberts, a pi'in
ter residing in this city, tells us that he
raised over three thousand pounds of this
Cotton on a single acre, without the use of
fertilizers l We have seen a branch tnk>-n
from a stalk now on exhibition in the office
of Sims A Threlkeld. which was broken iff
in July, measuring 18 inches in length,
and which contains 12 bolls. Wo are in
formed that the stalks of this Cotton are
large and strong ; the bolls beyond the or
dinary siz*, and that neither wet nor dry
weather will cause the bolls to shed. These
are faots which are known to many of Our
citizens, nnd therefore we think that the
’’Threlkeld Cotton” is superior in every re
sped to any other variety known to us.—
We have so much faith In its superiority,
that we intend to plant 10 acres of it this
ye r, and if the friends of the “Peeler” va
riety desire to test the respective merits of
the two varietioi, let them send us a sow
bushels of Beed. which we will plant and
cultivate on the same quality ot land, and
with the same care, and then give faithful
ly and accurately the result of our experi
ment. We are anxious that our planters
should have the best aod most prolific seed,
which can only be ascertained by actual
experiment.
Now, friend Ware, “come up to the
scratch,” and send us some of tho “l’eeler”
seed, and if they prove equal to the “Threl
keld” seed, you shall have the benegt of a
column next fall, without tee or reward.
CITY IMPROVEMENTS.
At no time sinco tbe war lias there been
such a spirit of improvement manifest":! in
Griffin ns nt present. The cotton sold this
season will distribute from this point ne«
ly one one.hnlf million dollars, and the
magic effects of so much money are plainly
seen and felt. General Daniel is putt’ng
up three stores, two of them brick, on Tay
lor street, near Hill, on the property recent
ly pnreha«ed from Colonel Sam Bailey and
Colonel Flynt. Ho also puts npon the mar
ket three or four lots adjoining, which will
doubtless soon bo improved. “Tobe” John*
son is putting up four brick stores on Hill
street, between Mangham’s store and Moss
A Williams, which will add greatly to the
appearance of that part of town,
Mr. Bceks is soon to commence two fine
stores adjoining the Methodist church ; sev
eral fine residences arc just oomploted or
being erected, among which ere notice n
nice cottage on Poplar street, by Mr. Moss.
In fact all tbe mechanics are having m re
work than they oan do. Strangers contin
ue to arrive, and all things look favorable
for tho prosperity of our little city. Woi. t
some enterprising capitalist or company
build us a fine hotel? We also need a good
school house on a grand scale, but of this
we will speak more in the future. At pres
ent the freedmea arc a little abcud of us in
this particular.
