LARGEST CIRCULATION
I* th. OmU t. m 4 Tr.dli (
at Olaabu.
Next Thursday, the Ist of Febru
ary, Is the day appointed by the new
bill for counting the Electoral votes.
The long agony will soon be over.
The advocates Of woman-suffrage are
much rejoiced over a recent demonstra
tions in Congress when over a score of
members, representing as many States,
rose one after Mother at the morning
hour to present petitions from their con
stituents urging the submission of a Six
teenth Amendment to the CoaaUtution
prohibiting the States from depriving
any citizen of the electivo franeniso on
account of acx.
A Columbia special to the Cbarlea
ton News and Courier says : "It was
reported on the street this evening
that throe revenue officers were
killed by distillers In Oreenvlile
county to-day (Wednesday). An
officer and a detachment of ten men,
Company K, Eighteeenth Regiment
will leave fer that point to-morrow
morning to assist In suppressing the
illicit distillers In the mountains.
Another sale of the Alabama &
Chattanooga Railroad was made at
Mobile a few days since, under mort
gage. The purchasers were John T.
Wilden and D. 0. McMillan, of Chat
tanooga, who state that the First
National Bank of New London, Con
necticut, and the First National
Bank of Chattanooga, with other
parties, are associated with them.
The Mobile Register thinks this sale,
like others of the same property, will
not hold good,but the Tribune thinks
it will probably stick.
/
Notwithstanding the passage of
the Electoral Count bill by greatly
more than a'two-thirds vote in both
branches of Congress, it is still In the
power of the President to defeat It.
Should he retain it unsigned for ten
days, the day set for counting the
votes will Lave passed, and of course
Congress would have to do Its work
over again. But if there is truth in
the reports of the President’s de
clared intention to tlgn the bill, no
obstacle of this kind need be expect
ed.
Tax Senatorial contest being out of
the way, the Legislature will now, np
boubt, address Itself earnestly to the
work of retrenchment, and quickly
act on the bill for Galling a Constitu
tional Convention, The Convention
bill, we are assured, will pass, but it
Is not certain whether it will be with
or without a provision for submit
ting to the people the question of
calling it. We hope that there will
be no looking back from the work of
retrenchment. All useless ofQoes
should be abolished, the number of
Judicial Circuits with their Judges
and Solicitors reduced, and all sala
ries of public officials cut down to
about what is paid for similar work
and capacity in private business.
The U. 8. Sbsatk.— All the Senators
to be elected this winter having now
been chosen, except in one or two
States in which the contest is merely
a personal one, we are enabled to
state the strength of parties In that
body after the 4th of March, posi
tively. There will be 40 Republicans
and 04 Democrats, counting Judge
Davis among the latter. There are
two vacancies for Louisiana to be
tilled, or rather the new Senate will
have to decide whether It will admit
the bogus Senators chosen by tbe
Paekard Legislature, only one of
whom has yet been elected. As
Christlancy, Edmunds and Booth,
Republicans who opposed the recog
nition Of the Kellogg government,
will still be in tbe Senate after the
4th of March, there Is some reason
to hope that that body will still re
fuse to recognize a Legislature made
up by a returning board and not
elected by the people. If the people
of Louisiana, or rather the Legisla
ture chosen by them, are allowed to
elect the two Senators, the Democrats
will have 36. and the Republicans 40
Senators, for the next two years.
There is hardly a doubt that after
the 4th of March, 1879, the Senate
will be Democratic.
Thx Savannah News tries to poke
fun at both the Columbus papers
about tha Senatorial election. We
copy wbat It has to say, and can very
well stand its gibe at ns—perhaps
better than it will like to see its repe
tition :
The Columbus Times has evidently got
a very bad case of HUI on the brain. In an
editorial on Wednesday it says: “There
waa a general and anxious feeling in favor
of Mr, Hill here yesterday, and if he
should be deleated, especially by Mr.
Norwood, the people of this oounty will
be much disappointed.” The chancee are
that, euch being the true state of feeling in
Muceogee, the people will be disappoint
ed.
The Columbus Enquirer is a rank con
spirator. It publishes Ben HUl’s last
“greatest effort of his life" before the
Georgia Legislature, "to give the people
an opportunity to read What he has to
say," but remarks: “We have no admi
ration of Mr. Hill, except as a brilliant
and popular speaker. In his political
course we have not a particle of confi
dence, and are of the opinion that our im
mediate members of the Legislature In
voting for him for Senator have misrep
resented the Urge majority of their consti
tuents. Ex-Governor Joe Brown de
scribee Hon. B. H. Hill *aa a mighty
smart mao, bat lacking in judgment.'
That superb orator of the South, he of
the silver voioe and magnificent logic.
Hon. Wm.L. Yancey,of Alabama, pictured
himasamocklng bird -he oouid imitate
beautifully the Botes of others, but had
only an original squeak ol his own, and
that was— HlM."
—The Hawklnsvllie IDispatch reports
the arrival In Houston county of an Ohio
man, who has long beena Rocky Mountain
trapper. He has oome to Houston county
with his traps for the purpose of catching
beavers. This looks like taking the bock
track to find the wild animals of the
country.
THC ELECT#HAL. COUNT BILL.
This bill has not only passed both
branches of Congress, but passed
them under clrcumstanoes and by
votes which commit both parties to
the acceptance of any result of the
Presidential problem which it may
work out. We may as well conclude,
then, that the disputed votes of sev
eral States will be referred to the
commission created by the bill, and
that this commission will virtually
elect the President and Vice Presi
dent. It may do this either by count
ing the votes of the States in dispute,
thus making out an election by the
Electors, Or by throwing them out
and devolving the eleotlon on tbo
House and Senate, whose respec
tive choice in that contingency
we already know. Our appre
hensions incline us to the
opinion that the latter will be the
course adopted. It Is useless to con
tend that the plan does not contem
plate a compromise. Its terms may
not distinctly provide for it, but the
spirit In which it was conceived was
that of compromise, and it was sup
ported in Congress in the same spirit.
The leading argument In Its support
was the necessity of quieting the
public agitation, averting all danger
of a conflict, and relieving the appre-
hensions of tho business interests.
To do this effectually, it will be
strongly urged, tbo pacification of
both parties is needed, and this can
surest be effected by a compromise.
We are still of the opinion that a
determined stand for law and right
would have resulted in the installa
tion of both Tllden and Hendricks,
and In such au ignominious failure
of the Radical conspiracy as to cause
the utter overthrow of that corrupt
party. We bellevo that the Demo
crats had already exhibited an irre
fragible title to the vote of Florida,
and would quickly have made out a
similar title to the vote of Louisiana.
We do not believe that the Republi
cans who supported the Electoral
Count bill would have insisted on the
vote of Florida and Louisiana for
Hayes and Wheeler when it
came to the pinch. We have
seen that in debating the bill
they disclaimed and even ridiculed
the idea that the President of tbe
Senate had the right to make the
"count.” The abandonment of this
olaim by them would have secured
for the Democrats everything which
they can possibly seoure under the
Electoral Count Bill, and probably
more.
But, as we say above, both parties
are now committed to the plan, and
must abide its operations. It will
settle nothidfe so far as principle and
constitutional right is concerned, but
will, as a make-shift, bridge over the
difficulties of the situation as well as
the rascalities which caused them.
Some may regard this os statesman
ship or patriotism, but these are not
the words which occur to us as most
appropriate.

A LITTLE EXCITEMENT.
THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE IN A SNARL
ON A POINT OX ORDER.
~ ,
As soon as tbe balloting for a
United States Senator was over on
Thursday, a warm oontest arose on
the question of the adjournment of
the convention. We copy from the
Atlanta Constitution's report:
At tbe announcement of the result
of the ballot, Mr. Kennon, of Clay,
the leader of the Smith forces, moved
that the joint assembly be dissolved.
Mr. Adams, of Chatham, hoped the
motion would not prevail. (Upon the
viva-voce vote tbe President was
unable to decide. The standing vote
was then called upon and tbe clerk
was about to announce It 83 to 78 for
adjournment, when Mr. Walsh, of
Richmond, with much more excite
ment than he has yet shown, called
for the yeas and nays.
The call was commenced and con
tinued under an excitement not lees
than that which prevailed upon tbe
balloting for Senator. At length
tbe call was finished, and the clerk
announced that the vote stood 79 to
86, the motion being lost.
At this announcement a dozen
men sprang to tbe floor, and de
manded a verification of tbe vote.
It was stated by half a dozen that
they had been keeping tally sheets,
ana that the announced result was
not the true one, but that tbe motion
had been carried. Two gentlemen
changed their votes from "no” to
“yes.”
The President announced that the
call for a verification was made too
late, the result having been announc
ed and tho vote decided.
At this decision the house becamo
a perfect babel, members perking up
on all sides appealing from tbe deci
sion of the President.
The President ruled that there was
no body to which appeal could be
made, and he ordered the gentlemen
demanding an appeal to take their
seats.
This decision only redoubled the
confusion. Various gentlemen dash
ed off red-hot resolutions which the
President would Hot allow read, and
Mr. Ferry finally moved In an ex
ceedingly loud voice, his face beam
ing like a July sun above his knotted
handkerchief, "That the House do
Eroceed in a body to retire from the
all.”
Mr. Cabaniss, of the Senate, quell
ed the storm for a moment by mov
ing that tho Senate by its vote dis
solve the joint assembly. The vote
was then taken In the Senate, the
House of course remaining quiet
while the issue was being made in
another body. The Senate voted
against adjourning by 23 to 20.
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT RAISED CAIN
in tbe House once more. The Presi
dent, whose facefwas as setand firm as
marble, and who bad loosely knotted
a silk tie about his throat, stood like
a rock before tbe fiery debaters of
the house that charged upon him.
He knew his power, and he held the
storm In subjection.
At last, Carlton failing to get a
verification, made anew motion of
adjournment.
The President announced that the
motion could not be put again uatil
the bouses bad transacted some bus
iness since the last motion was
made.
Mr. Whittle, of Bibb, then asked
that the Speaker protect tbe House
from the decision of the President.
Speaker Baoan then stated that
while he differed with the president
in his ruling he had in courtesy to
him yielded to his decision. This
was only adding fuel to the flames
and the House roared again. Mr.
Cariton, who had exhausted all ex
pedients, then moved that tellers be
appointed. Mr. Moses moved that
the house take a recess. Mr. Turn
bull who had appealed himself hoarse
called upon the House to stand to its
rights, and members on all sides de
inaudeda verification of the count.
Mr. Stewart, of Spalding, in on im
passioned manner, Degged the Presi
dent to allow him to prove from Bart
lett’s Digest that a verification of all
yea and nay votes was a necessary
precedent of the announcement of
the result unless the verification was
omitted by unanimous consent. He
held that the result of the present
vote as announced was not only In
correct but illegal.
Mr. Whittle said that no one
thought of calling for a verification
until a result palpably incorrect bad
been announced. He felt that the
House should insist to the very last
on its rights. By this time it became
apparent that to proceed without a
verification of the vote of the House,
an adjournment, would be impossi
ble. The President oidered the sec
ond ballot to bo commenced three
times, but it was stopped each time
by a hubbub, universal and confond
ing.
Tbe President then said that with
out abating the rights of his position
or yielding his judgment he would of
his own motion order a verification
of tho vote.
Senator Harrison hoped that the
verification would be made thorough
and perfect, so that those parties who
had been shuffling might be caught
at it.
Mr. Carlton moved t hat two tellers
be appointed to assist the clerk.
Mr. Adams, of Chatham, opposed
this, and Mr. Carlton finally with
drew it.
The verification then commenced,
the Houses awaited the result with
the most intense anxiety. The issue
had gone so far that it had become
very serious, as it was feared that
the result would affect the Senatorial
race.
After a long time it was announced
that the motion to adjourn had pre
vailed: that the announcement of
yeas 79 and nays 86 was incorrect;
and that the vote really stood—yeas
87 and nays 80.
At this, after the members who
were foremost in the debate had dis
claimed any intention ot reflecting
upon the President, and the Speaker
had stated that the mistake of the
Clerk was an honest and almost una
voidable one, the House adjourned,
and tho work of the third day of the
Senatorial race was over.
The marefuis of Waterford annoys
railroad managers by always riding
third-class, as it diminishes their
first and second-class travel. One
day the marquis appeared at Water
ford station and bought a third-class
ticket to Dublin. The railway men
thought to teach him a lesson, and
for that purpose sat a sweep down
beside him in the car, thinking to
drive him out. The marquis sur
veyed his traveling companion for a
moment, and then started for the
ticket office. "Give me a first-class
ticket to Dublin,” said he. They
thought they had him. sure, but he
simply returned to the third-class
car, and making the sweep a present
of the ticket, escorted him and his
brushes to the first-class carriage,
and leaving him there returned to
his favorite compartment.

There seems to be a determination of
some organized force to pass the “Head-
Money Bill" through Congress. The
bill proposes to collect $1.60 per cap
ita from steamship companies bringing
immigrants to this country. It is in fair
position to pass the House soon, notwith
standing the earnest protests of the Na
tional Board of Trade, the steamship com
panies, the Massachusetts Legislature and
an immense number of the most promin
ent business men of the country, besides
the recorded rfeusal ofj the Western
Board of Charities and the Saratoga Con
ference of Charities, to have anything to
do with it. It seems that the Emigration
Association of New York c>ty is the only
association backing it. The opponents
oftbe bill urge that it proposes to violate
the comity ot nations by preventing free
egress into the United States, for the
steamship companies will, *f course, add
the $1.60 to the emigrant’s fare. That it
is in violation of our treaties with foreign
powers, and that no other civilized na
tions impose such a tax ; that it is an un
just restriction upon freedom of interna,
tional commerce, injurious to tbe United
States, and will tend to divert immigra
tion to Canada and Australia, and divert
emigrant travel from our railroads to the
trunk roads of Canada.
The idea that a Btate cannot protect it
self from the landing of criminals, pau
pers, sick or disabled emigrants, is regard
ed by opponents of the bill as simply ab
surd. A State has power to compel the
steamship company to lake such persons
back to the place from whence they came.
The State laws charging capitation tax,
being rendered useless by the decision of
the Supreme Court of New York last
year, does no good to the Emigrant Com
mission. The Commission has accumu
lated property worth over a million and a
quarter dollars, and now they want the
old system continued so as to keep litem
in office.— N. ¥. Herald.

By request 1 erit* that this year I had materi

The land though old waa ot good quality, but was

up and bedding the day before, both of which
processes were done in a very inefficient and ex
ceedingly rough mauner. The seed were planted
on the 2bth day of April: the stand from this
planting was very poor, (about s half s stand.)
The replanting was not done until tha third ol
June, and the bunches of the replants were not
thinned until the plants were knee high. The
cotton was carelessly cultivated and was clearly
eaten by the Caterpillars the latter part of August.
Notwithstanding these facts the yield has beeu s
