Tnr. Tennessee Legislature, at Its
late session, took no action for the
adjustment of the State debt, and
now an extra session is proposed to
deal with that important and pressing
question. Gov. Porter has not yet
decided whether he will call the
extra session or not.

Our Atlanta correspondent, “It. T.
8.” discusses matters which wo do
not wish to aid in stirring up at
present, and therefore his communi
cation is not published. But wo re
member him with pleasure, and hope
to hear from him on other points.
In Montgomery, Ala., on Monday,
a negro woman chased her son with
a view of punishing him. The boy
fled to the river, and ran ints the wa
ter, where he got beyond his depth
and was drowned. The mother and
others upon whom she called were
unable to reach him in timo to save
him.
The San Francisco Call says that
silver sells in its city at 6 per cent,
discount in round earns, but that it
passes at par in small amounts.' By
this process the laboring man and
consumer really sustains the loss of
6 per cent., because the denier has to
add that per cent, to tho price of his
goods. Some dealers take advantage
of their customers in making change.
Thus, if twonty-flve cents worth is
bought, and a five dollar gold piece
is tendered in payment, they return
four dollars and seventy-five cents in
silver, which is really worth loss than
four dollars and a half, and thus the
dealer makes a quarter clear, besides
the profit on his goods.
The Montgomery Journal asks us
some silly questions in regard to
what we meant by saying that if
Northern settlers were invited to
Florida with a view of carrying the
State for the Radical party (as the
Jacksonville Union had intimated),
the Democrats ought to see that this
part of the programme does not suc
ceed. The Journal wants to know if
we meant to prevent it by “force and
the policy of bulldozing”—-if we op
posed the introduction of free
schools, and wanted the sohool
housea to be fired in tho night, &c.
Ail of which may be very smart in
the Journals estimation, but we
hardly think it worthy of any reply.
A Lion’s Pranks.— The Augusta
Chronicle, of Tuesday, gives an ac
count of the escape from his cage
and fearful antics of a lion of the
menagerie, on Monday afternoon.
As it neither occurred nor was pub
lished on tho Ist, wo suppose there
is no "April fool” about It—though
the levity and freedom of its style
. somewhat excited our suspicions.
The lion, whioh is a very fine one,
supposed to be about sixty
years of age, and exceeding
ly intractable, escaped while
being transferred from ono cage to
another. He first sprang upon a yak
and killed it quickly. Mr. Baker,
one of the keepers, here interfered,
lion seized him by the leg,
but ho was rescued by other men of
the meDagerio, who tore him from
the lion’s grasp. The savage beast
then sat down in a corner of tho pen,
and another keeper, from an eleva
ted position, threw a nooso over his
head and he was choked and pulled
into the cage.
The Charleston Journal of Com
merce of Saturday comes to us clad
in mourning for the death of two old
and prominent citizens. They were
Gen. John A. Wagener and Col. John
E. Carew. Gen. Wagener wus in
command of Fort Moultrie and Castle
Pinckney in the spring of 1861, com
manded at Fort Walker, Port Royal,
when it was taken after a gallant re
sistance, and distinguished himself
throughout the war. He was a na
tive *of Hanover, and was born in
18H. Col. Carew was a native of
Charleston, and died on Friday
night, in tho 71st year of his age.
He was long connected with the
Charleston Mercury as editor and
proprietor, was often a member of
the South Carolina Legislature, and
several times sheriff. He stood high
as lawyer, speaker and writer.
Florida’s Electoral Vote.— lt may
have slipped the memory of some of
our readers that at the time when
the Electoral vote of Florida was
cast for Hayes, legal proceedings
were pending to prevent it. The
Circuit Court had decided against
the Hayea Electors, and an appeal to
the Supreme Court was pending.
The Supreme Court will soon have
the case up before it-, and parties are
preparing for the trial. It is stated
that a delegation of Florida Radicals
waited on Hayes the other day to
ask whether he wanted counsel em
ployed to defend the oase, and that
he referred them to the Republican
National Committee. It is to be
hoped that the Democrats Will pros
ecute the case to a decision on its
merits if possible.
Happiness and prosperity depend
to a very great extent upon good
health. All those suffering from
hoarseness, cold or cough, should

A YEAH OF KKCrPICHATIOX.
There aro many conditions of in
dustry and trade that seem to make
tho current year a favorable one for
recuperation from the dullness and
depression of tho last three or four.
The stocks of provisions and grain in
tho country are large enough to in
sure abundance and reasonable prices
Manufactured goods of nearly all
kinds have reached prices unprece
dentedly low—so low that any change
must needs be a rise and a conse
quent benefit to the industries that
produce them. At the same timo the
stocks of the latter are rather low,
and the demand is not likely to fail
short of tho production. Labor has
generally been ongaged at prices
that must make agricultural produc
tion profitable to the farmer if a ju
dicious choice and distribution is
made of the products to raised.
There has of late been such a
steady improvement or stability in
the currency of tho country as to
forbid the serious apprehension of
greater depreciation. It Is now so
nearly at par as to give us almost the
full advantage of a specie-paying
currency. There is now not much
inducement either to buy and sell it
as a speculation or to hoard it in the
expectation of enhancement of its
value. The stability with which a
value near par is maintained is very
favorable for its free circulation in
the channels of industry and trade.
For the first time since the war,
the governments of all the Southern
States are now in the hands of men
in full sympathy with the intelligent
and substantial classes. They are
no longer governed by aliens and
plunderers, supported by ignorant
voters who have nothing at stake
and no interests to conserve. This
must produce a feeling of security
and confidence, Without which every
industry must be hampered and
every interest distrustful. The whole
South is now, in this respect, in a
condition admitting steady and pro
gressive recovery from the "demoral
ization” which followed the results
of tho war.
Our Bouthern people commenced
last year a reform in their farming
and planting economy that has al
ready proved highly beneficial, and
must work out still better results if
persevered in. They have com
menced making greater food crops,
without materially reducing their
cotton crops. If they will this year
raise still more grain, provender, &c.,
and reduce the cotton production
suffloiently to increase the demand
and reduce the stooks, the benefits
of this reform will bo moro than
doubled. All will participate in the
benefit, whether all contribute to it
or not, because all who raise cotton
will get the enhanced price caused
by lessened production, and those
who have to buy Western grain and
meat will experience the benefit if
an increased Southern crop lowers
prices and freights.
It is mainly by the raising of larger
winter crops that Southern farmers
have beon able to increase their pro
duction of food without lessening
that of cotton. The old gentleman
who said at last year’s meeting of the
Georgia Agricultural Society that
the oat crop was to be the restorer of
Southern prosperity, was not far
from the mark. That crop has al
ready saved millions of dollars that
would otherwise have been taken
from tho unremunerative cotton
crop to buy grain and provender, and
it can be extended so as to savo us
many millions more; and it is the
savings of agricultural industry that
make the prosperity of tho farmer
and of every industry and business
depending on his prosperity. The
farmers of the South have taken the
first step in tho road of recuperation
and improvement, and the conditions
of this year aro such as to oneoqrage
them to perseverance in reforms
whose benefits they cannot fail to
see.
The second annual meeting of the
Georgia Pharmaceutical Association, it is
announced by the secretary, Dr. Fred.
King, will be held in the city of Atlanta,
on the second Tuesday (10th) of April, at
10 o’clock a. m. It is important that
every member of the profession who can
possibly do so should be present, as busi
ness of vital importance will be presented
to the association.
A Carpet-Baa Bolt Threat curd
Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.)
It is said that an organization has
been formed consisting of sixteen
persons, three Southern Republican
Senators and thirteen Southern Re
publican Representatives. The pur
pose of this organization is said to be
political self-preservation. The theo
ry is that unitod action by so consid
erable a number of persons will
make them of more consequence
than under other circumstances they
could expect to he. Some of thise
who have opportunities of knowing
the plans that have been discussed
say that an agreement has already
been formed that, in the event Presi
dent Hayes does withdraw the troo)>s
from the State houses in South
Carolina and Louisiana, so that
Hampton or Nicholls shall become
practically recognized, this band of
carpet-baggers will dissolve their
connection with the Republican
party, and thereafter vote with the
Democrats. There has been a storv
that this faction looked to Gen. Ben
Butler for leadership, but some of
the gentlemen connected with tho
soheme say to-day that Butler has
given them no encouragement.
The monument oyer the remains
of the victims Of the Mouutain
Meadow massacre was ereoted by
United States soldiers in 1858, and
bore the inscription: "Vengeanoe is
mine; I will repay, sadth tho Lord.”
It did not stand long; Mormon fa
natics tore it down. The church was
ordered to restore it, which they did,
but changed the inscription to “Ven
geance is mine; I have repaid, saith
the Lora. But a company ol sol
diers took it down and restored the
original text. The spot now bears
no cross, but is marked by a heap of
stones gathered from the hills about
the meadow. It is onlv three of
four feet high and has no inscription
or other mark to denote its signifl- 1
cance.

OIIGIMU LAW.
The press and people of the State
are debating the expediency and ne
cessity of a Constitutional Conven
tion for changing the present consti
tution of Georgia. The decision of
the people on this important measure
is anxiously looked for by all true
patriots whose hearts are kindled
with love for Georgia’s soil and Geor
gia’s future. Her sons and daugh
ters know the past greatness of Geor
gia, the Empiric State of the South,
one of the original thirteen in the
compact of confederation, with u
catalogue of honored names—her
Crawford, her Cobb, her Lumpkin,
and others, whose deeds and names
niuke national the glory of Georgia.
The civil war broke this link of
Georgia’s greatness, and robbed her
of her weulth and many of her gal
lant sons. In 1865, at the point of
tho Federal bayonet, as a refractory
daughter, she, in her despoiled and.
bruised condition, was driven back
into the Union. Nor was this all: the
victors, fearing the patriotic heart
which had ever pulsated in her bo
som, placed sentinels of a standing
army to guard against and pheck the
rekindling of the patriotic love of
her sons and daughters. They placed
at the helm of State foreigners to
her soil and renegades—slaves made
freemen by the conquest of war—that
the old ship might, in her wrecked
condition, be kept in the harbor of
the victors’ politiaal safety.
The object the victors had in thus
crushing the paralized strength of
Georgia and her sister States of the
South, is threefold:
Ist. That they might gain and con
tinue themselves in power in nation
al politics.
2d. That the people of Georgia
might forget her illustrious past;
consequently they removed her Capi
tol from Miliedgeviile to Atlanta and
framed the new Constitution and
laws for the Government.
Nor is this ail the sad record of
Georgia’s unrecorded history. That
hor son’s and daughters might for
get the unlraperishable truths and
names which aro emblazened on
Georgia’s escutcheon, making her
the peer of any in the galaxy of
States, they robbed her of hor form
er laws, making for her an organic
law of their own brain, removing the
seat of Government from the hal
lowed memories of tho past, where i
no echo of Georgia’s former great
ness could Inspire tier sons to groat
and noble deeds.
3d, That they might gain unto
themselves the reputation for having
accomplished great results in the
prosperity and progress of Georgia,
and thereby receive the praise and
love of her people.
In the first and second objects they
have succeeded. The victors now
control the National politics; the
Capital of Georgia is Atlanta, and we
are now living under a Constitution
of their brain and handiwork.!
In order that their work might be
the more radical and effectual; they
changed the former laws and usages
of filling offices; lengthened the
term of office and changed the time
of the assembling of tho Legisla
ture, as well as the nurntisr of mem
bers and organization of one depart
ment thereof; changed the Congres
sional Districts of the State. What
is it they did not change that oould
have been changed in the short
space of time they were in power?
True, they did not give us a return
ing bdard, but it was not their fault.
They robbed our Treasury and
fastened upon us eight millions of
fraudulent bonds. We repeat it—
what more could they have done in
so short a time? We pause for an
answer!
Their third, and second to their
first'most important object in view,
we will now consider.
Is there any act of the Republicrn
party while in power in Georgia that
we as Georgians feel indebted to the
party for? Are we to love and praise
them for tho present Constitution of
organic laws? The Atlanta Constitu
tion probably does, because they
moved the Capitol to Atlanta. Are we,
the people of Georgia, a prosperous
and happy people? A retrospective
glance over the last decade convinces
us that we are not a prosperous peo
ple! Well, then, do we love the
present Constitution for its origin,
and not for the prosperity and hap
piness which we derive under it?
Why then oppose the Constitutional
Convention.
Have we not tried a system of gov
eonment under it, long enough to
see that nothing good can come out
of it? We for one think we have,
and with all our heart would say, let
us return to the house our fathers
built; let their paths be our way,
their God our God. Let this Consti
tution, the offspring of tyranny and
oppression, be cast into oblivion,
and let us show to the world that we
have discarded the acts of military
despots and bayonet rule, and have
drawn a fresh inspiration from the
past greatness of Georgia and can
guarantee free and equal immunities
to all her people under a constitu
tion the work of her own sons, that
future ages may give a credit and
glory of Georgia’s greatness,to whom
it will be due. Yes, let us have a
Constitutional Convention, that
Georgia’s sons may bridge over tho
past fifteen years of poverty, war and
death; that these sad recollections of
the past may no longer be recalled
by the organic laws under which we
live.
Having disposed of our first objec
tion to the present Constitution, to
wit; its origin, in our next we will
discuss some of the more practical
objections to certain featuresjt hereof,
and endeavor to suggest reasons for
a change. More anon.

Newspapers In Nchuoln.
There domes from Pittsburg a story
whioh is, we trust, a malicious inven
tion. It is said that one of the school
mistresses of that oity has* under
taken to teach her subolars the news
of the day. She takes the liead-iines
of the morning paper, writes them
on the blackboard and then enters
into a discussion of the various
topics wit h the pupils. It is sup
posed that useful information in re
gard to the affairs of ttie oity, the
transaction of national business and
tlie course of events in foreign lauds
may be spread among the children
in this way; and perhaps something
of ttie kind might be accomplish
ed if the teacher possessed the
abilities of a good editor and
knew what was actually news and
iiow to comment on it. One serious
objection to such scheme, however,
even where it is carried out under
the most favorable auspices, would
be the liability of the instructor to
become partisan and raise a revolu
tion in tlie school district by incul
cating unsound political doctrines.
Not a single event from the criticism
on a lecture to a theory on a seusa
tional murder could be explained
without warping in some way ttie
youthful minds of the listeners, and
the schoolroom editorials would be
come excessively dangerous. Be
sides, the daily events treated in
newspapers are hardly of the kind
that children should occupy
themselves with. The scandals in
social life, the fluctuations in busi
ness, tlie rumors iu politics, and
all the mass of surmise, information
and discussion which make up mod
ern journalism is of vital interest to
men and women who have to grasp
into the thick of life and deal with it
as it is. But why should children be
compelled to trouble themselves
about such things? In the family
they are not taken into consultation
about the household troubles or the
neighborhood gossip, and there is
still le6s reason for calling their at
tention to the troubles of society.
Many of the events chronicled in the
newspapers are ephemeral, many of
the reports are false, many of the
theories advanced are unsound ; and
boys and girls should not be encour
aged to load their minds with too
muoh of such stuff, which must after
wards be unlearned or forgotten.
They should spend their time iu
school with learning the im
mutable rules of grammar, the
unchangeable principles of arith
nietlc, the settled facts of
geography. While their powers of
acquisition are strong they should
be employed in gathering facts and
precepts t hat will be of use to them
all their lives. The most brilliant
newspaper head-lines in the country
—ana some of them are admirable
examples of brevity and wit—are
not as good to store away in the
memory as some of the fine pas
sages of the Bible or Shakespeare.
Journals ure guides to action for
men aud women, not treasure-houses
of precepts for boys and girls, who
have no concern with the ‘‘chronicle
and brief abstract of the time.”
Moreover, the taste for newspapers
is not a propensity that needs
to be encouraged in children.
They have it by nature in all
due strength, and even in schools it
is common to see with un
desirable partisan prejudices and a
stock of political misinformation on
hand that will make lob-sided men
of them. These things need no
blackboard or preceptress. They
seemed to be imbibed with the
mother’s milk, and one of the most
curious sights of the canvass last
summer was to see children who
oould hardly speak distinctly, cheer
ing lustily forTilden or Hayes. Full
growu Americans gut euough of the
turmoil of politics, business and
criminal stories; for heaven’s sake
let the boys aud girls enjoy as much
of the sweetness and light of child
hood us would naturally full to their
share.— N. Y. World.
