It is not unfrequently the case that one sees in the papers of the State ex pressions of contempt used with refer ence to the Legislature. The feeling that prompts such unfavorable refer ences is not confined to the press, but is largely entertained by the people. It has come to be a settled conviction with a great many that no honor and but little responsibility attaches to those who represent the State in ita General Assembly. This has not always been the case. Although our connection with the po litical affairs of the State does not ex tend beyond the war, we can well re member when high honor was sup posed to be inseparably connected with the office of legislator, and when the first men in the State, in point of learn ing and intelligence, were not averse to taking upon themselves the laborious honors of the position. The station es without assistance a larger per cent- than the hen, and knowB how to scratch aronnd and find worms for the chick ens, and knock the spots ont of other busy body incubators when they step on them, we should say it is a grand success. But if the time of the man who has to sit upwith*the inenbator is worth more than the chickens he can hatch out in three weeks, then it is not. Still, if the incubator abolishes the 5 o'clock a. in. rooster, it is a suc cess at any price. But go to a hennery for definite information. PREMIUMS TO ACENTS. We will give a premium of twenty- Cto dollars to the local agent who sends i in the largest number of new subscrib ers to the Weekly Telegbaph axd Messenger up to July 1st; a premium of ten dollars to the one who sends next to the largest list, and a premium of -five dollars to the one who sends in the third list in size up to that time. CLUB BATES. Agents may receive subscriptions at the following rates: 6 copies at $1.25 each year. 10 « 1.00 “ “ “ Uames can be sent in as secured. Additions may be made to club* at any time. These premiums will be given only for now subscribers—not for those whose names are now on our hooks. Agents should go to work at once. The Weekly Telegbapii and Mes- pekoer will contain able discussions of the issues which will come up in the State and national elections this year, and a summary of the important news of the world. It will contain nothing ansnitable for ladies and children to read. Every one who is not familliar with it should give it a trial this year. wtf The Savannah Homing Newt opposes the return of Hon. John C. Nicholls to Congress from the first district, on ac count of his opposition to the Morrison tariff hill. The Newt mentions the names of other candidates for the nomination, was recognized as one of high trust j but does not vouchsafe any informa- and of great responsibility; and those tion with regard to their position on who sought it did so with the con-1 the tariff question. Among the sciousness that the records made by names given are those of Jndge total visible supply, as compared with that period, of 1,145,783 bales. The imports into continental ports this week have been 59,000 bales. The exports have reached a total of 18,201 bales, of which 11,112 were to Great Britain, 2,314 to France, and 4,835 to the rest of the continent. The following from the Chronicle shows the drift of speculation in fu tures for the week under review: A slight decline on Saturday was followed by a small advance on Monday. On Tuesday, a sharp pressure to sell was caused by the announcement of the failure of the Marine Bank, in which considerable aums held aa margins on contracts were supposed to be de posited. Prices fell ofT 7 to 11 points, August selling down to II 77 cents—the lowest figure In many weeks. There was a partial recovery, followed by a slight advance, on Wednesday. On Thursday, there was an advance for the day of 9 to 11 points, with a firm closing. To day the opening was easier and tho.spccula- tlon much less active. Yesterday there were rumors of considerable sales of spot cotton for home consumption, but they were not o'fll- clally reported until to-day, when there was a quiet market at 1111-16 cents for middling up lands. have repudiated the cause for which the dead now sleep friendless and for saken. These will rise up and cry economy. And from their midst the “watch dog of the treasury,” the cur that skulks at the poor man’s heels for the sake of his crumbs, will be heard as it has been for a generation, when ever there was proposed aught to de fend the interests and care for the hon or of the people as a people. If the Legislature cannot, because of a constitutional provision, appropriate money to bring home for decent burial the men who laid down their lives for the defense of the ■ State, change the constitution. When the Legislature meets, let the oldest soldier in the hall rise with the proposed amendment in hand. The true men and the women of Georgia will sustain him. The press will kick the curs out of hearing. FROM ATLANTA. Discussing tne Convict Lease, and the Transfer of interest by Lessees— Absent Criminals—The Cen tral Coal Bur-crs. Til* devices for making money without working for it are criminally abundant. It it really more important to the peo ple of Georgia to send able men to the Leg islature than to Congress. The notion that any man is good enough to be a mem ber of the General Assembly has prevailed too long, In practice, in this State. Old Srooxs would even be willing to pension worn-out old Confederates, If hap ly that might give him a Presidential boom this side of ilio Potomac. The old Confederates will let the boom and the pension sleep the sleep of oblivion, side by aide. Tux candidates that arc defeated In the Bepnblican convention at Chicago by means of the votes of the Southern dele gates will probably devote a few moments of contused and anxious thought to the does and abuses of rottenborough Repub licanism. The immense Increase in local legisla tion In Georgia, since the adoption of the new constitution, Is either the cause or the consequence of the mistaken idea that a given member represents his county in a jjnich stronger sense than he represents Tho State, and that county interests are much superior to 8tate interests. When the people make another constitution, they will likely put locke and ban on that species of legislation. It is needless to set Grant on his fett again unless some able-bodied man of brains la employed to hold bim up. Still, it la a merciful spirit that prompts bis wonbippers to make another effort to stay bis return to the gutter. It is strange that be Isn’t ashamed of the attitude in which their efforts place bim. It isn't strange, however, that be haa never been known to express any gratitude for their eftorte in bis behalf. About fourteen hundred colored chil dren neatly dressed passed this office yea. tenlay. What a change in twenty yean These children, under tlie old regime, -would have represented two million eight hundred thousand dollar* of private prop erty. But though free, and no one wonld i*gx have it otherwise, they still represent an equal amount of wealth to the State it self, since the wealth of the State is lta la bor. They have become an Irredeemable currency, but have not lost value. them would be inquired into, and that they would be compelled to give an ac count of their stewardship. Since the war matters have under gone a change in those particulars for the worse. A number of reasons could be given in explanation of this degen eracy. The standard of citizenship and the qualifications for office, attendant on it, have all been lowered since the devil began to control the destinies of the country through the Republican party, enthroned at Washington. This, in itself, would be sufficient to account for the manifest degeneracy in all that pertains to the legislative of fice, without any reference to the fact of there being only one white party in the State—a fact growing out of the in famies and oppressions of Republi canism, and a necessary consequence of them. To these two evils—the one being the consequence of the other—may be ascribed the lowly estate into which the station in ques tion has descended, during the past two decades. It has been neces sary to lose sight of much that was pos itively good, and to close the eyes to much that was not specially creditable —even if not positively bad, in order to save the State from the hands of a set of Vandals, worse than those that pillaged the provinces of ancient Rome. The dangers ot the situation nre not yet overpast; but it is not too soon for the people of tlio State to be casting about in their minds for a return to the methods of other days. It is not too soon for them to see to it that the stand ard of membership in the Legislature is elevated above mere considerations of availability and reward for party services. It will not do to longer under estimate the duties and responsibilities of the Legislative office. It is really more important to the peoplo of Georgia to send able men to the Legislature than to send them to Congress, for reasons that must bo ap parent at a glance. If there must be inefficient men in eltherof these bodies, let them go to Washington and bo swallowed up in the rabble of Jack Cades from other States. Here, at home, where the enactments must bear directly upon the pdople and their varied and increasingly varying inter ests, let the law-making power be vest ed in wise, pure and truo men— men who aro wise enough to know the demand of duty in the changed rela tionships of the present time, and bravo enough to discharge it. The notion that any man is good enough to he a member ot the General Assembly has prevailed too long and wrought too much mischief to be fur ther tolerated. Let the people clothe that body with something of the digni ty and honor that once characterized it, for the sake of the glory of the State and ita progress in all that is true and elevating. There is an epidemic of maudlin sen timentalism in' some portions of this country. It affects to look upon the most deleaved criminals as the mere helpless victims of untoward circumstances, while society, as the avenger, ie viewed as a heartless monster. The tendency of all such manifestations of eympathy with outlaws fa to dignify crima and to increase it, while it weakens the ability of society to successfully deal with the children of violence. Exoura judicial methods are, in many reepccta, superior to our own. As a rule, justice is more uniformly dispensed In that country than in this. There are fewer es capes from Jail, and fewer defeats of jus tice through the quibbles and technicali ties of the law. English scaffolds are not allowed to be turned into palpi! rostrums, from which Incorrigible scoundrels preach their speedy translation to the realms of eternal bliss. It would not be amlas for oar court authorities to learn something, in these particulars, from their brethren across the water.- A* to Incubators. A valued correspondent writes to ask us if we can give him “the address ot the party who manufactures tho most successful incubator;” also, “is tho incubator now admitted to lie a success in a financial point of view? It must be admitted that our corres pondent has wounded us in a tender place. To tho first question wo must reply, no. The party who manufac tures tho best incubator is at present an unknown quantity in manufacturing circles, if the hen lie excepted. Tiie truth is, we are not thoroughly im pressed with the idea that the best in cubator haa yet been produced. Coni plaints of inefficiency seem to flow into the poultry journals from all quarters M. L. Merslion, of Glynn coun ty, and Captain B. D. Brad- well, of Liberty. If is presumed that both of those gentlemen, along with the Newt and Mr. Nicholls, favor the existing tariff on rice, a product largely grown in the first Congressional dis trict. If we are mistaken in this sup position, we should bo obliged to our respected contemporary for the infor mation. But the Newt intimates that Savan nah may have a candidate to present lor the nomination, “whose ability and other qualifications are such as not only to command respect but to arrest attention.” Assuming that this Sh- known candidate is also the advocate of the protective duty on rice, but the opponent of similar duties on other im portations, we would respectfully in quire of our contemporary, where he intends to draw the line. If it is right for tho Newt, and for Judge Mcrshon, Captain Bradweli, and the unan nounced candidate of command ing abilities from Savannah to favor a protective tariff on rice, because it is raised in that Congressional district, in wliat respect is it wrong for Democrats in all other Congressional districts in tho United States to maintain tiie existing tariff on such articles as the people of their respective localities are interested in re training? If it is proper in tho Netct and its candidates, in what respect is it wrong in Mr. Nicholls and other Democratic supporters of protection? IIow can the Representative from tho First Georgia district have the check to aek that the duty on rice be retained and the duty- on the products and manufactures ot other districts in the Union be re moved ? Tho Representative who could be guilty of such folly and incon sistency is unworthy to occupy a seat In any deliberative body, since self-in terest and not principle would be his guiding star. But we have another inquiry to make of the Newt and other journals in Georgia that sympathize with it in its opjxisition to protection. It is this; If it is right to set aside Mr. Nicholls on ac count ot his opposition to the Morrison bill, what do they propose to do with Senator Brown, who is also a candidate for re-election, and who was also opposed to tho passage of the hill ? The bill did not reach the Senate, and tho Senator had no opportunity to re cord his vote against it, but we under take to say that he was and is opposed to the bill. Now, what are the Newt and Its free trado contemporaries going to do witli Senator Brown? Will they oppose his re-election? If not, with what show of consistency can they oppose tho return of Sir. Nicliolla? If they are unwise enough to mnko the position of South ern candidates on the tariff tho test, why apply it to one and not to all? It is well known that the Telegraph axd Messenger agrees witli Repre sentative Nicholls and Senator Brown on the tariff question; hut it is also well known that we have no candidate for any office. There are Democrats in the first district and in tiie State whom wo would prefer to cither of them, and whom we would gladly support if their names were presented to the people. But we do not consider it proper to make a test of the tariff question. It it should be done, however, then it shonld he applied to the Senator as well aa to the Representative. Wall Street Panic. Our dispatches this morning show an unfortunate condition of business in New York. The recent iailures of the Marine Bank and Ward & Giant set in motioh a circle of transactions which culminated yesterday in the overthrow of several firms and more than one bank, the effect of which yet remains to be seen. To-day will be a critical one upon the street. It is theopinioDof some of our busi ness men that no general disaster is impending. The failures of yesterday marked a speculative crisis, which, wrliile it may tighten business capital, will probably not continue long. The volume of currency is large, stocks and bonds have not recently ruled at in flated prices, and gold is at par; these conditions, it is hoped, will render a general disaster im possible. Moreover, the action of tho United States Treasurer, in calling the bonds which fall due the 27tli of June —thereby throwing into the Street a large volume of money, however doubt ful may be the policy which permits the government to take part in a spec ulative flurry—will undoubtedly go far to case the market. The worst feature is the sudden withdrawal of private deposits from the banks, which destroys the demand for even gilt edge securi ties, and leaves banking houses to sus-, pend with full hands. In 1873 the great panic came when inflation and wild speculation was tho order of the day, and gold was held at 40 per cent.* premium. The fall to a basis of real values was sufficient to wreck and ruin thousands. But even in that panic, the storm was finally weathered by a combination of the strong banks and a pooling ot securities and funds. During last night, it is al together likely that such action was taken by the bonks as will in like man ner allay the fears of the timid and re store confidence. It is not likely that the South will be hurt by the panic, beyond tho incon venience of a temporary tight money market. The last crops have all been sold, and the new are now promising in every section. Even should a general depression 1 occur, the force of it will be felt here less keenly than else where. Mr. Williams, of Wetumpka. It will be remembered that recently the Telegraph published an extract from the speech of Mr. Williams, an Alabama Representative, delivered upon the occasion of the memorial ex ercises of Mr. Herndon in the House. The speech was one of the most lurid compilations of descriptive adjectives ever seen outside of the report of a fe male college commencement. So re markable a venture has never before entered into the dreary columns of the Congrettional Record. Mr. Williams has been mercilessly quizzed and ridiculed Bince the ap pearance of his obituary effort, both by liis associates and by the press. He has finally made an eflort to clear him self by an explanation to the effect that the speech was sent him by a woman, and that he read only a few lines and then obtained permission to print the piece in the Accord; that he had in fact never read the production. Those who know Mr. Williams will readily accept this explanation. He is said to be a straightforward, practical, business man, and utterly incapable of the effort which stands accredited to biin in the Record. At tho same time he lias not relieved himself of annoy ance, since the confession places him at the mercy of unfriendly critics, and will doubtless array against him the Herndon clement. It is not unlikely that Mr. Williams read his own obitu ary along with Mr. Herndon’s. [irzciAL coRREsroxnzxcx.l Atlanta, May 13.—The recent revival of the discussion of matters pertaining to the convict lease brought about by tho litiga tion between the lessees and the Marietta and North Georgia railroad, and the later reported transfer of Captain W. D. Grant’s Interest in Penitentiary Company No. 3 has suggested the very peruneut question as to whether Captain Grant, under the contract entered into with the State, has any right to transfer his interest in the convicts, and whether such transfer does not jeopardize the lease, under the terms of the contract. The contract of Penitentiary Company No. 3. entered into between the State and W. D. Grant and others binds the lessees not to “snb-let, lease or hire the convicts, or any of them, to others,” upon penalty of a cancellation of the contract, if the Gov* ernor shall so determine. If Capt. Grant, one of the lessees, and a member of Peni tentiary Company No. 3. can dispose of hit interest in the lease, so may eveiy other member of Penitentiary Company No. 3, and thus leave the large body of convicts More Walking Matches.

Our correspondent filed his account of the match on Sat urday night, and it was received with other matters of interest, hut it did not reach us until Sunday forenoon. The walkers might have brought it al most as soon. tive office and done according to the forms ot law. Upon inquiry at the executive office, I find there has been no entry upon -the contract or bond of the transaction referred to, and no notice of it to the State, If the negotiation has,been consummated as reported, and Captain Grant is no longer a lessee, or member of Penitentiary Company No. 3, it is held by some who have discussed it, that there should be some record of the transaction upon the records of the State, and some approval of it by the executive. Of course such an important transaction would not be entered into by a lessee, or by the purchaser or purchasers of his interest, without taking legal advice, and if the reported sale has been made, as given out, I presume it was made upon the technical idea that the contract of lease was between the State and the company and not between the State and the indi vidual lessees. On that idea, as already- suggested above, the other members of the company may likewise transfer their in terest to third parties and leave the com pany composed entirely of men who were not originally lessees and who have no contract w hatever with the State. It is not likely that the people of Geor gia would readily approve of such a trans action, br submit to having the convicts bandied about, bargained and sold to and among parties not responsible to the State, and not originally or now entering into the contract of lease or bound by the bond. The indicatlnns nre that the convict lease will liereaf ter be a very important is sue in the State, and this will ho among tbe questions to be met by the lessees. ASSERT CRIM1XALS. The recent communication addressed to the State authorities from Texas, making inquiries as to rewards offered for fugitive murderers from this State, is still held un der consideration. Upon looking over the records in the executive depart ment for information of the parties snd crimes referred to, your correspond ent stumbled uikiu a great deal of Inter esting matter, which will be given yon more in detail heicafter. How many crimes have been committed in Georgia, brought to the notice of the authorities, that are still unpunished? How many criminals of all degree* have fled from juaticeand are still at large? In my cur sory examination this morning, I found among other Items, that there are twelve or thirteen men of the same name, fugi tives from justice, and the greater number of them charged with the grave crime of murder, and one or two of them already convicted who succeeded in breaking jail CXXTOAL KA1LROAH COAL BURXRRS.

From the Chronicle’t cotton article of May 9 we gather the following facts and the favorite brands appear to suffer | relative to the movement of the crop with all the rest.

Even it it couid have been got through the House, it was doomed to de feat in the Senate. Aa a measure of legis lation it was of no consequence, because it could not l-'come a law. It was a mistake from tiie beginning, and it was right and proper to put an etid to it at the first op portunity. Politically, however, (lie consequences of this bill are important, and we have re peatedly had occasion to point them out. Tiie first of them is the division of the Democratic party into two opposing Indies. Where there should he harmony and unity, discord and conflict are introduced. Ills not a conflict on a practical question, hut on an abstraction, on u theory of public ccononiv. Hitherto the widest differences of opinion respecting tariffs and import duties have been tolerated In the Democ racy. Protectionists like Jefferson and J action and free trader* Ilk* Ho'rert J. Walker have stood together in its ranks fighting for Democratic principles and nd- mlnistrative reform. In such co-operation lies the promise of Democratic success; but in the organization of the present House of Representatives it was decreed that co-operation should lie abollsh&d. Mr. Morrison, Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Waterson proclaimed that in place of toleration we roust have intolerance; that, instead of Democracy and reform, free trade must be set up as the only end of politics. It was lietter, they told us, that the Democracy should be beaten in following after free trade than that the coantry should lie re lieved front Republican mlsgorerniuent under the old Democratic flag. Of course such a change In the policy and character of tbe Democracy cannot now be consummated with the full assent and intelligent determination of the masses. The question will come up for decision in tbe National Democratic Con vention.
