The Tbomasyllle Timex says that
the farmers of Its section are well up
with their wprk, and many of them
ahead of the usual schedule. If they
will give $ proper direction to their

Ws heard, the other day, that in
Dawson and Lumpkin counties,
North Georgia, many of tho peach
trees had been killed by Hie severe

says: In Chattooga, Walker, Dade
and the upper counties generally of
the State, the peach trees are report
ed to have been killed during the
cold spell in January. * In Floyd they
are not generally killed, though
probably somoare.

Still another Demooratio eandida

was counted out” by tho returning
board, has established tho fact of his
election. He is Mr. Robertson, who
ran against Nash in.tbe Glh District.

Shuffeuhurg, the ex-United States

to the penitentiary for two years for
signing fraudulent vouchers and In
other manners robbing the Treasury.
He became in two short years ono of

9uch means, and deserves mention
as to the originator of the process of
never traveling unless ho was accom
panied by one or two of his prison

The New York Tribune reports
Prestdeut as giving expression
to his views on the subject of civil
service reform, in an interview which
he held last week with some Michi
gan politicians. He said that Sena
tors and Representatives must not
consider the offices as their personal
perquisites, to be distributed by them
in return for personal services. In
making selections of .public officers
he said he should givoduo weight to
the recommendations of members
of Congress, but that if for any good
reason he saw fit not to act in accor
dance with them, they must not feel
that any of their rights in the matter
had been invaded.
The following citizens of Bullock
county, Ala., have been arrested and
carried to Montgomery on a charge
of violation of the Enforcement act:
I, P. Culver, J. W. Stephenson, Jake
Sterne, W, C. Jordan, J. B. Martin,
Moses Brit. J. T. Bfoadaway, G. C.
Hope, J. R. W. Pickett. They will
ofjcourse|give bonds, be relensed, and
the prosecutions tye,either dropped or
not sustained. But the proceedings
will be vexatious and expensive to
them nevertheless. If Hayes intends
to be an honest and law-observing
President, should lie not commence
his administration by respecting the
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States which pronounoed the
Euforoement act unconstitutional?

JIIMT LET THEM ALONE.
! The reported nuvioc of Senator
Bruee, of Mississippi, to President
Hayes, that the jway. v U> settle the
complications in Louisiana and
So util Carolina was by now elections,
fallhrtiljy reflect! the Southern Rad
ical’s ideas of oursystem of Govern
fflify cqnnnot comprehend
that the States have any exclusive
rights—any powers Independent of
the Federal authority. They are a
party raised from tho dregs by the
commotions and revolutions of the
war, and they have no conceptions
of constitutional government dis
tinct from military despotism.
By what authority cun the Fed
eral Government order new elections
In Louisiana and South Carolina? It
has no more right to do so than It
nut to order elections In Franco or
Spain. Such elections, If ordered,
must necessarily be ono-sidod affairs,
because the opponents of the recog
nized government, to which tho re
turns have to be made, would have
nothing to do with them. If we oould
admit the usurpation of tho Federal
Government in superintending tho
election, supplying its machinery,
and determining the result, this
would do away with tho returning
boards and put tho brand of con
demnation upon them. A more
honest and stralglit-forwar.l courso
would bo to stand aside and let the
cheated people of Louisiana and
South Carolina do this for them
selves.
Tho people of the Southern States
only ask the General Government to
leave to them the management of
their own domestic affairs—a right of
which they have never divested them
selves. There is no more reason to
believe that a minority could got the
control than there is to believe that
the majority would give way to the
minority in New York or Massachu
setts. It is the consciousness that
they are not the majority which
makes the Southern Radicals call on
tho Federal Government for its in
terference by military power. They
want fraud supported by force. They
want the strong arm of tho Federal
Government to uphold Stato Govern
ments which have no support from
tho people of the States,
Tho government at Washington
has no more power to order new
elections in Louisiana and South
Carolina than it has to make tho peo
ple of those States pay taxes and
yield obedience to Packard and
Chamberlain, whom they havo re
jected, and “Senator” Bruce ought
to have been plainly told so.
THE CONVENTION.
A gentleman from an adjoining
county, who is himself a supporter of
the Convention, told us yesterday
that he was afraid ft is county would
vote against it, because of a popular
apprehension that the Homestead
would be interfered with. We do not
believe that there is any good rea
son to fear that the Homestead priv
ilege will be abolished, and we think
that any modification which may be
made will be acceptable to the peo
ple generally. But it is too soou to
raise this issue on the question
of the call of tho Convention.
The apprehension is too vague
to permit it to inlluence men to vote
against a Convention from whose
action on other questions so much
good is reasonably anticipated. The
work of the Convention has to be
submitted to tho people, and it will
be time enough then to pass judg
ment upon Its acts. It is no wiser to
“borrow trouble” in regard to public
or political affairs than in those of
individual ooncern. The Convention
will no doubt have the sagacity to
submit separately such changes of
tho jiresent constitution as are like
ly to encounter strong popular oppo
sition, and thus tho will of tho people
cpn be made effective.
We were not one of the original
supporters of a convention, because
we thought that tho other plan of
amending the Constitution offered
the fewest difficulties. But we appre
hend as clearly as any one some de
fects of tho present constitution that
require amendment, and inasmuch
as tho majority preferthe convention
plan of amendment, we say let us
give it a fair chance—not kill it
though distrust or vaguo .apprehen
sion that it will do evil as well as
good. As its action is not to be Anal,
wo will have the power to vote down
tho whole instrument if the evil pre
ponderates, oven if we are Dot, al
lowed to separate tho bad from the
good. Vote tho convention now,
and pass judgment upon its work at
the proper time.
Gulp holds its own very steadily, with
out the least fluctuation that cau he
traced to party difficulties. This signi
fies that financial circles were never much
disturbed by the apprehension of politi
cal troubles. We arc of the opiniou that
the most effective enemies of tho Govern
ment credit are the speculators in gold,
and that they will work out their plans
without regard to political complications.
The Government will no doubt feel their
power for mischief when it undertakes
resumption.
Louisiana lo Have tle Supreme Judire
Special to N. 0. Doxnocrat.]
Washington, March 11. — I learned
to-day from good authority that Pres
ident Hayes proposes to appoint
sotno lawyer from Louisiana to fill
the vacancy on the Uuited Suites
Supreme Bench.
The National Republican. Adminis
tration organ, will publish tho fol
lowing: “We give currency, to the
runaoqjn official circles that the ap
pointment for the vacancy on the
United Suites Supreme Bench is to be
accorded to the State of Louisiana.
DLiunde it will give the South a rep
resentative, and, at the same time
the court will secure a judge learned
in the civil law. Among those most
favorably spoken of is Judge H. M
Spofford, before the war an Associ
ate Justice of the Supreme Court of
Louisiana, He is an eminently con
servative gentleman, a lawyer of
superior abilities, and has taken lit
tle or no part in politics since the
war.”
A UENTI.K HINT TO THE AVEUAUK
CARPET-nACLF.It.
AND BOMKTHINO FOB SAMBO TO PONDEB
ON.
The New jTork Xri&u/m.whlch gave
Hayes v hm strongest support all
through the campaign as well as
through tho various trickeries and
frauds of the returning boards and
Electoral Commission. and which
now assumes to be the officious, if
not the official organ of the new ad
ministration, gives some good advice
to the average carpet-bag politician,
and some wholesome admonition to
the American citizens of African de
scent, wno has for the last eight
years been assisting his Northern
brethren to fill their carpet-bags
with public plunder.
In its leading editorial of the Gth
the Tribune says:
The average carpet-bagger com
plains that tho new President is go
ing to throw him out of business.
Tho extreme advocate of force bills
and bayonet campaigns has no hope
for a country In which the ex-rebeljia
allowed a chance in public life. Tho
colored legislators of Louisiana de
spair of the Republic unless Packard
is sustained by Federal arms, and
representative’assemblies are organ
ized by Governor Wells and General
Augur. President Hayes meets
trouble already, before he has been
a day in office. And there is a plenty
of It in store for him.
But let us give a word of friendly ad
vice to those who believe that “the mis
sion of the Republican parly is to put
down the whiles and uphold tfie blacks
in the Southern States." Before they
claim the right to dictate the policy of
the new Administration, let them p iU*e
and consider what the effect of their plan
has been heretofore. Gen. Grant tried it
faithfully in his executive measures; the
ruling majority in Congress embodied it
in legislation. Asa consequence the
South has been reduced to beggary, the
treasuries are bankrupt, tho courts are
corrupt, life and property are insecure,
the laws are scandalous and unjust. Nor
has the colored man derived any benefit
from the wrongs done ostensibly in ids
behalf. He shares in the poverty of his
white neighbor; he is always the first
victim of the general disorder ; whatever
is stolen goes into the pockets of the
Northern interlopci. The colored man,
with all the aid of the Federal patronage
and the Federal army, cannot oven keep
the political control of the South. State
after Slate has (alien out of his nerveless
hands, nnd at thcllast election we had al
most, a Solid South sustaining the Demo
cratic candidate. Iu the Northern States
the extreme Radical policy has nearly
been the ruin of the Republican parly.
It has provoked a schism; it has given
new life to the Democracy, it has covered
Gen. Grant’9 adminirtration with discred
it; it has driven many of our best states
man out of public life; it has filled high
places with dishonored adventurers. If
the Northern Democrats bad possessed
ordinary common sense they must have
secured the Presidency last November,
Now it hardly becomes the faction
which has mismanaged the Republican
party with such results as these to insist
that the country is going to destruction
because they are not invited to direct the
course of events any longer. Mr. Hayes
sees that there must lie an immediate
abandonment of a policy in which there
is neither profit nor honor, and he wisely
risks the dissatisfaction of a few extrava
gant politicians in the confidence that lie
will be supported by the sober judg
ment of nearly all enlightened citizens.
Democratic llcoinomy.
The Detroit Free Press says the
total sum called for in the ten regular
appropriation bills passed at the lute
session of Congress, is $119,129,938.87.
The actual appropriation required
from the Treasurv is $89,795,293.87, as
but $2,934,725 of the $33,267,290 ap
propriated for the postal service is
required in addition to the revenues
or the Post Office Department. The
amount appropriated by the bills is
upward of $9,000,000 less than the
amount called for in the bills as they
passed the Senate. Compared with
the appropriations for the same pur
poses made at the first session of the
Forty-fourth Congress, there is a
slight increase; but it is more than
setoff by the failure of the River and
Harbor Appropriation Bill to pass,
and even if that bill had been passed
as reported to the House, the reduc
tion from last year proposed in it
would have been nearly if not equal
to the aggregate iucrease in the the
ten appropriation bills passed. It is
certain, also, that if tho Army Bill
had been passed there would have
been a reduction of jseverat millions
from the appropriation of last year.
As passed by tho House, there was a
large reduotiou, and as agreed to by
tlie Senate there was a reduction
from last year. The Democratic
House persisted to the very last in
the policy of economy which it origi
nally adopted, and there have been
few Congresses which have adjourn
ed with a record freer from the taint
of jobbery than that which marked
the Forty-fourth Congress; for which
the country must thank the Demo
cratic House of Representatives.

bled IN CONVENTION at PITTSBURG.
Pittsburg, March 9.—A convention
of window-glass manufacturers of
tho United States closed its three
days’ session at the Monongahela
House last night. Over forty, firms
from all parts of the country were
represented, while many others sent
regrets and signified their concur
rence in the object of the meeting.
An organization was effected, to be
known as the National Association
of Window-Glass Manufactuters,
with the following officers: Presi
dent, E. L. Day, of Kent, Ohio: Vice
Presidents, F. L. Bodine, of Phila
delphia; Wm. Baker, Baltimore; S.
H. Fox, Durhamville; Secretary,
Forbes Holton, of New Castle, Pa.;
Treasurer, M. W. Watson, Pittsburg.
The proceedings were of a private
nature, and the members are very
reticent; but it is understood a uni
form scale of prices for the whole
country was adopted, aud many
minor matters that will harmonize
heretofore conflicting interests were
satisfactorily adjusted. Members
express great satisfaction over the
result.
Under date East Windsor, May 22,
1807, tho following appeared in the
Connecticut Courant: Thomas Hutch

A Fen Picture of Ilaye*.
Wabiui|t.o Ovrrn>ondot N. O. Democrat.]
Mr. Hayes ie a man of clear mind,
and* politicians ruu nowadays, of
exceptionally pure purposes.
la transactions he is scru
pulous—so oxaot that most men
cull him “close,” if not stingy. Ho
is likewise thoroughly honest, and
has always been known as a man
whose word fora sum of money Is as
good us his bond or his note of hand.
Socially, tie is a genial,talkative com
panion, but he has a faculty of talk
ing a good deal without saying much
iu the way of committal or betrayal
of himself upon any topic of impor
tance.
In his domestic relations Hayes is
a woman’s iduul of a good husband,
and a child’s dream of an indulgent
parent. Add to those characteristics
u geutie, patient munner, and a mod
est, uuuggresstve air, and you have
a fair conception of Mr. Hayes as a
man and a citizen. In politics he
has ulways been that nobleßt work
of God, an available candidate.
Raged the storms of party strife
never so fiercely, howled the tempest
or factional discord never so wildly,
when all other candidates have been
tried and found wanting, there has
been liayes ; ever bland, ever serene,
ever with a cleur record, ever avail
able—because he always kept his
own counsel, and, if not everybody’s
friend, at least nobody’s enemy, So
he has been nominated to many
offices, aud always as the candidate
of compromise aud the exponent of
peuco within his party ; never as the
candidate of a Btrlfe nor as the result
of a victory; and witn one solitary
exception, he has always been elect
ed and always by the skin of his
teeth. Banning heat him for Con
gress iu 1872—by a scratch.
The whiskey ring beat Hayes that
year, not Decause it huted Hayes or
loved Banning, but in order to teach
u oertain elemeut in the Republican
party of that District at that time
that it wus not healthy to fight the
ring. With this exception Hayes has
always been successful. His luck
would sink a ship if luck were a car
go and life a sea. Political honors
havo fallen upon him, and I don’t
believe he oould have dodged them
if he would. Fortunes have fallen to
him here and there like ripe apples
tailing from the tree and hitting one
on top of the unsuspecting head.
Genius has never rattled him, nor
has a great mind weighed him down.
Neither yet is he a mediocrity; much
less stupid. His is one of those
steady, safe, even and equal minds,
not high nor deep, but of fair sur
face, and without crags or chasms.
Life to him is what battle is to the
English soldier, “a plain case of pa
tient give and take, and let’s see who
will stand It longest.” as a delightful
historian has written.
Thus a general impression has pre
vailed in Ohio, where alone the man
was known up to IH7, that he was an
indolent, easy-going sort of fellow,
who would get along in the world
without making many large waves
where he swam, and sink without
creating many ripples. Nut even the
“minnows” would ever “mistake him
for a whale,” it was thought. But
Hayes was not indolent; he was sim
ply quiet. When he had anything to
do he went and did it, without beat
ing any gongs to annouuce his ap
proach, aud without sounding Ins
own horn when he had done. When
he had nothing to do ho retired to
his own home aud devoted himself
to Mrs. Hayes and the babies. In
the war ho was not a Murat, nor a
Ney, nor a Lord Hill, nor a Mait
land. He did not win laurels, but
his men all liked him. He did not
bestride a curveting charger aud tear
madly along a line of battle, because
he wus most of the time stationed
where there were no lines of battle
to speak of. But he always kept his
men wed in hand, well fed, well
clothed, well armed, and when he
had fighting to do he did it as well as
he knew how, and with as little fuss
as possible. He was a safe sort of a
brigadier general.
During the late canvass I heard or
ators say and read in newspapers that
Mr. Hayes was an ignoramus. This
was altogether untrue. He is not a
philosopher like Jefferson, not an or
ator like John Quincy Adams, nor a
pedantic scholar like Buchanan. But
there has never been a man of truer
culture—in the plain sense of the
terra—of wider information, or of
more thorough and careful reading,
in tho Presidential Cnair than Mr.
Hayes. He is, in fact, a bookish
man, fond of literary conversation
end at home in a library. One of
his warmest friends is Aiusworth li.
Spofford, the Librarian of Congress;
aud Spofford himself is bibliology in
carnated. Now I have drawn a few
rough outliues of the man, and you
can fill in and color the picture to
suit yourself. I have a weakness for
bookish men and bold a theory that
a man who loves books is invariably
honest. Garfield is the most remark
able exception to the rule that ever
crossed my observation. But Hayes
is not an exception to my rule.
