Gov. Hamptox has issued a procla
mation calling an extra session of the
Soath Carolina Legislature, to meet
on the iilth Inst. He will press on its
attention, measures of retrenchment
and reform to relieve the over-bur
dened tax-payers of the State.
A Vinoixu paper nominates "Blue
Jeans" Williams, present Governor
of Indiana, for President in 1880, and
Gov. Wade Hampton, of South Caro
lina, for Vice President. We like
that ticket very well, but it is too
soon to be making nominations yet.
The New York Cotton Record savß:
"Savannah’s reoeipts of cotton are
utterly inexplicable; they are cer
tainly not being drawn from local
sources, and can only be traced to a
lively export movement, Inaugurated
some few weeks back for the Baltio,
which attracted shipments from the
most remote points.”
Hicham) Kiko, of Texas, the largest
cattle owner in the world, Is a New
Yorker. In 1843 he was second cook
on a steamboat on the Chattahoochee
river. In 1846 he was a pilot on the
Rio Grande. His wealth is estimated
at from two to seven million dollars,
and his stock are counted by the
hundreds of thousands.
The Loxdox Tunes thinks Grant
will be received in Europe "as one of
the most distinguished men whom
the United States has yet produced,
and he will attract to himself the
hearty .friendliness with which En
glishmen regard the great represen
tatives of their race in the new
world."
The Montgomery papers say that
the Postal Commission will bold a
conference with the citizens there on
Thursday, after returning from New
Orleans and Mobile. As they will
then be coming east, we suppose that
we may expect them next in Colum
bus, and our citizeus should be con
sidering any improvements of the
mail service that would be of advan
tage.
Jim Simmons, a colored offender of
Clinoh county, was found guilty on
the 10th inst., and while the Judge
was pronouncing on him a sentence
of two years in tho penitentiary, ho
jumped through a wiudow of the
Court-house, and struck out for liber
ty. Tho Sheriff, Clerk and others
followed in pursuit, but Jim put in
his best licks and effected his escape.
The Malone (N. Y.) Gazette, a pa
per published at tho home of Mr.
Wheeler, makes the very remarkable
statement tljat not only has Mr.
Wheeler washed his hands entirely
of the Louisiana commission, contra
ry to the reports heretofore circulated
but that “no mas in the country was
more surprised that Louisiana’s vote
was counted lor Hayes than William
A. Wheeler.” The Gazette adds, with
emphasis: "He expected and pre
dicted that the Electoral Commission
would throw it hut entirely."
One of our Texas exchanges com
piles reports concerning the grass
hoppers and the crops in that State
from a number of counties. Tho
general report is that the hoppers
are destructive to both corn and
wheat, but they nre not in every
locality in sufficient numbers to do
great damage. Some accounts repre
sent the wheat as getting too tough
for them. Others say that they have
injured wheat but little and oats a
great deal. From one county the re
port is that the farmers had to plant
corn two or three times on account
of tho grasshoppers.
. c-
Aii Associated Press dispatch of
Monday midnight says: "The Demo
cratic Congressional Committee here
have advices from every Southern
State and district in regard to the
coming contest for Speaker. It is
asserted that there is not a sign or a
probability or defection in any quar
ter, and allegations to that effect, or
as to a possible coalition with tho
administration to secure a Republi
can as Speaker, are denied as utterly
unfounded. Alex. H. Stephens, who
is gradually improving in health, an
nounces his Intention to be carried to
the House of Representatives in or
der to vote lor Speaker. The Demo
crats confidently claim ten, and per
haps twelve, as their majority. Some
Southern Republicans continue to
threaten to bolt a caucus nomination,
but it is expected that all will rail in
to line when the time for voting ar
rives.’’
Where to Send Them.—We are as
sured that Federal troops will no
longer be used to set up and main
tain governments In the Southern
States against the choice of their
people. How, then, can they he em
ployed ? The best Held seems now
to be Wall street, New York, where
the speculators in money and gam
blers in produce and stocks are de
preciating the credit of the Govern
ment and deranging the business of
the country. There are plenty of fi
nancial “ku-klux,” who, if allowed
to have their way, will do more
damage than all the political
ku-klux of the South that
ever existed even in the imagination
of Morton and Wendell Phillips.
The Government at Washington has
as good a constitutional warrant for
taking them in hand as ever it had
for rdnning the State governments
at the South. Unless prompt action
is taken, the currency of the country
will soon again be seriously below
par, and everybody exoept the bond
holders and money brokers will be
made to suffer.
HIW OPPORTUNITY.
No man ever assumed the Presi
dency with better opportunities to
make his administration notable and
beneficial to the country, than Mr.
Hayes? Ho found it distracted by
passions and jealousies springing
from an episode of our history, rather
than pertaining to Us permanent
policy or theory. These ought long
sinco to have been quieted, and it
was only owing to bad management
and tho influence of extreme men
that tney were not sooner quieted.
It was long ago apparent to all re
flecting minds that tho Radical meth
od of governing the Southern States
by Federal intervention in their do
mestic affairs would not long bo tole
rated by the peoplo of the United
States. It was subversive of our sys
tem of government and repugnant to
the principles that constituted the
frame-work of the republic. Presi
dent Hayes perceives this, and is ap
parently making an honest effort to
discontinue It uud to return to the
methods of peace and the Constitu
tion. He is violently opposed by tho
extreme men of his party—men to
whom tho Constitution and the true
principles of the government are
nothing, but their personal am
bitions and foellngs everything. If
ho shall succeed in this con
test with a large portion of his
own party, he will have achieved his
first and- greatest labor, and there
after the accomplishment of other
reforms demanded by the condition
of the country will bo an easier mat
ter.
Tho circumstances under which
Mr. Hayes assumed the Presidency
are highly favorable to the breaking
of strict party lines and a “recur
rence to fundamental principles.”
Overlooking any question about the
fairness or legality of his election, it
cannot be said to havo been a party
triumph. Never before was a Presi
dential election so close, as regards
tho vote of the Electors, and no one
pretends to claim that Mr. Hayes had
a majority of the popular vote. The
Presidency was accorded to him by a
politico-judicial tribunal on questions
of technicality and formality only.
Tho real vote of the people of the
United States, which would have
been futal to his claims, was not in
quired into by this tribunal, but it
adjudged his election from tb epi'ima
fcu'ie showing of disputed returns
only. Under these circumstances,
Mr. Hayes cannot be regarded as the
elect of a party. The two parties
were checkmated by the complica
tions of the election, and an extraor
dinary (not to say unconstitutional)
tribunal hud to make the decision
which the people failed to make ac
cording to strictly legal forms. He
must apprehend this fact, and if he
is a just and prudent man be will
show his recognition of it by cutting
aloof from the close party alignments
and sectional passions that governed
tho administration of his immediate
predecessor. All the circumstances
which surround him, as well a3 this
freedom from mere party obligation,
conspire to make for him an oppor
tunity which' few Presidents have
over had. Tire “new departure” de
manded by tho occasion and by the
condition of the country is indicated
too plainly to be mistaken, and only
tho nerve to take and resolutely
maintain it is needed to make Mr.
Hayes’ administration memorable
and creditable. This is bis great op
portunity. The momentous question
Is, will he improve it?
The Macon Telegraph has been in-*
formed of the death of Hon. George
T. Marshall, Representative in the
Legislature from Terrell county. He
died on Sunday, and was burled in
Dawson on Monday ; the Dawson
Rifles paying him military honors.
The Petersburg (Ya.) Index-Appeal
says that it learns from citizens of
the tobacco counties around Peters
burg, that preparations have been
made for planting an immense area
in tobacco this season: and that if
nothing occurs to to injure or abridge
the crop, it will be one of the largest
ever grown in Virginia. Every
planter, large or small, white or col
ored, will enlarge his area.
Why the Difference?— There is no
good reason why the prospect of war
in Europe should run up the prices
of provisions in this couutry and de
press the price of cotton. The bel
ligerent governments have to clothe
aud provide tents for their soldiers
as well as to feed them. Any finan
cial complications which the war
may produoe ought to effect in the
same way the prices of provisions
and cotton ; that is to say, If the gov
ernments are crippled in their ability
to buy the one, they will be crippled
in their ability to buy the others.
The difference in tho effect on the
markets is a trick of the speculators
only, and cannot be maintained.
But the shrewdest among them will
mako much money while it contin*
ues. People should be cautious in
buying largo stocks at the advanced
prices in the expectation that they
will be maintained, or in selling cot
ton under the influence of a panic.
After the first flush of excitement is
over, it will be found that the Russo-
Turkish war Is not going to regulate
the trade of thb whole world.
An Experiment wllli Whiskey.
From the Pittsburg Dißpatch.l
It is said that whisky is improved
by a sea voyage, the theory being
that the motion of the vessel keeps
the spirits well shaken, causing it to
improve more rapidly tbau when
lying in the warehouse. Animated
by a desire to obtain a first-class ar
tide for rare oooasions (and perhaps
electioneering purposes,) a promi
nent iron firm of this city have made
arrangements for the shipment of a
lot or “Holmes’ best” to China, via
Ban Francisco, and back. They
have procured for this purpose four
casks of extra strength, each having
a capacity of sixty-four gallons. The
round trip will occupy eighteen
months, and as it is the intention to
send it over twice, that whisky will
be in constant motion for three years
If there is anything in the prescrip
tion of "Well shaken before taken ’’
that iron firm will have on band
some good medicine during the
Presidential campaign of 1880.
ORGANIC LAW.
Editor Time*: It U the duty of the
press and people of the State to thor
oughly canvass and ventilate the
reasons and causes why thore should
bo another ohangeof the organic law
of Georgia. No government should
bo changed for light or transient
causes; nor, in this instance, should
a Convent ion be called, at an expense
of many thousand dollars to the
State, unless upon reasonable assur
ances that a better constitution will
be formed, and will be ratified by the
people, to whom it is to be finally
submitted.
Is it just or right in the political
leaders of the State to mislead the
people into believing that, if the
Convention is called, they need not
fear, because it will not change the
homestead feature, the appointments
to office, or remove the capital back
to Milledgeville, &c., &o. ? Why not
take the objectionable features of
the present constitution, and present
them to the people, and show the
reasons why there should be a
change; and then if they differ, let
It be in tho beginning, and save the
State the expense of calling a Con
vention ?
We are opposed to any ‘‘milk and
cider” talk about what the Conven
tion wlildo and what it won’t do.
Let the people speak, and as the
voico of God, the majority will be
right. But, sir, my faith in the in
tegrity and virtue of ail true sons of
Georgia convinces me that a Conven
tion will be called and that anew
and better Constitution will be rati
fied by the people, for the instincts
and tendencies of society are for
good, and we are a virtuous and
honest people. It is an insult to all
true Georgians to believe aud insist
that we are contented to live under a
Constitution which was made by
those who were aliens and enemies
to the commonwealth, and was rati
fied by fraudulent votes, supported
by the bayonet.
It is none the less true that thore
are certain features in the Constitu
tion, which are wise and well suited
to tho requirements of the times, our
society, and the changed condition of
our people. But a large portion is
incorporated land copied from the
former Constitution of Georgia. If
these features are objectionable and
ill-suited to the times, let them be
discarded I We are not a disciple of
the school, whose motto is;
“For forms of Government, let fools conteat;
That which is bcßt administered ia beat."
This poetical heresy may make
converts of dull and stupid minds,
but we would choose that Govern
ment which has the tendency and
capability within itself to guarantee
liberty and protection to all the ab
solute rights of the citizen. But have
the people of Georgia grown wiser,
better and more prosperous, under
the “form of government” under
which we are living, than those who
lived under a former differently ad
ministered government? We think
not, and do notour people see that
we are indeed a poor people, aud to
many, prosperity is a dream of the
past, and not the anticipation of the
future ?
We see there is great discontent
among the people; money is scarce,
times are hard, enterprise and im
provement strangled, business lan
guishing. To the masses of our peo
ple, there is no change in life, save
the changing seasons, necesitating
daily bread and sleep, and in their
change, bring decay, depreciation
and death.
Oh! how long will times be thus
Can change of government make bet
ter our condition ? We think it can.
Then what changes are desirable ?
Ist. We would set forth in lan
guage as transparent and lucid as
light, the rights of State sovereignty,
with a spirit and Inspiration, as did
our forefathers in the articles of con
federation of the States.
2d. We would throw a bulwark and
protection around the ballot-box
with such stringent and effective pun
ishment, (such as tho taking away
tho elective franchise) for a violation
of the free and upright exercise of
the elective franchise, as would deter
all from a violation of the Constitu
tion in this particular, and such as
would save the State from the hu
miliation of the interposition of the
U. S. military in proteetiug the
ballot box.
3d. We would remove tho Capital
to Milledgeville, and save to t tbe
State tho upproaching expense of
building anew Capitol in Atlanta,
at a cost of hundreds of thousands of
dollars; and the liquidation of a
portion of the present indebtedness
by selling the State House and Man
sion in Atlanta and placing the
money in the State Treasury ; there
by returning to the house our
fathers built, and preserving the
past patriotism and purity of Geor
gia’s former greatness.
4th. We would reduce the expenses
of administration—
By biennial sessions of the Legisla
ture; reduction of the number of
members tollOO ;by fixing the per diem
at $4.00 per day; by paying a rea
sonable mileage; by limiting the
term of the Legislature to a certain
number of davs; by allowing no
local bill that affects only one county
to be acted upon by the Legislature
—leave them to them to the judges
of the Superior Court and grand ju
ries ; by preventing State aid to rail
roads and other internal improve
ments ; by prohibiting municipal cor
porations from levying a tax of over
1 per cent, ad valorum on property
for city purposes and other internal
improvements; by limiting interest
on State bonds to 5 per cent; by re
ducing the aids in the several State
departments to a reasonable number
for the duties of the office; by limit
ing the expense of clerk hire and
other expenses attendant on the Leg
islative department of the State.
Economy is the requirement of the
day, and if the people of the State
will exercise economy, wo will all
soon be out of debt, and prospering.
The day is at hand when a dollar
is wbat it once was, and why not re
duce salaries and other expenses to
their proper worth? and then their
wages will buy as much as they did
several years ago.
6th. We would prohibit the consid
eration by the Legislature of the pay
ment of the seven or eight millions
ofGoorgiu’s fraudulent bonds, and
would declare them forever null and
void.
6th. We would either abolish the
Homestead Law as to all debts con
tracted from the time of ratification
of the Constitution, and leave the old
poor man’s law, or we would reduce
it to one thousand dollars, and allow
any waiver of Homestead by the
husband for necessaries for the sup
port and maintenance of his family,
to be binding and valid.
7th. We would take from the Gov
ernor his appointing power, as far as
relates to the Judiciary of the State.
Bth. We would havo the Judges of
the Superior Courts and Solicitors
General nominated by each judicial
circuit once in four years, and the
Judges of the Supreme Court nomi
nated every eight years, at the time
tho Governor is nominated, and
would then submit the nominations
of the Solicitors and Judges and Su
preme Court to be elected by the
people on a State ticket with the
Governor of the State.
Cun either political party have ob
jections to this system? We think
not. Can the people of any judicial
circuit object to this plan of securing
their judges and solicitors? We
think not. Will it not secure wise
and able judges? We think it will.
The people of Georgia will not be all
Democrats or ail Republicans in the
future; and in our humble opinion
the day is not far distant when there
will cease to bo any Republican par
ty at all, arid may not be any
Democratic party either. But new
parties will spring up, or rather
with new names, and upon new is
sues which will divide the people of
the South. Sectional hutred to
wards the South is at au end, for her
position at present is such that she
will not submit to anything less than
her rights, and no powor can de
prive her of those rights.
It ia an possibility to replace the
South in the attitude she has occu
pied for the past twelve years, be
cause the negro will never be any
thing more ia politics than a float
ing vote, their improvidence and pov
erty will always make them depen
dent. This is a white man’s country,
and the white man intends to control
it.
It will kill any party in the South
that affiliates with the negro aud
places him in his ignorance into
office or upon equality with the
whites.
The immigration that will come to
Georgia will bo white, and the negro
will soon be a very small minimum
in the vote of Georgia.
Therefore let us call a Convention
und frame a Constitution for Geor
gia, and her great future. Republi
canism is dead in the South and
stiDketh; the last vestige in Georgia
is the habiliment of the Constitution
under which we live. Let us call to
gether the intelligence and patriot
ism of Georgia’s sons, and let us
pile up in one grand pile this last
remnant of military despotism and
with the purging fire that springs
from hearts enlightened with the
blaze and love of liberty, upon the
altar of our injured and desecrated
country, eradicate this wrong, aud
from the ashes of our former great
ness frame a Constitution for Geor
gia and her great people.
Miiiium Kxprrleut-e tut it Eucltlvr slave.
The Boston correspondent of the
New York Graphic, referring to
Wendell Phillips’ war on Attorney
General Devens, makes the follow
ing statement as to the oapture in
1851, of the then fugitive slave,
Thomas Simms, now a resident of
Nashville:
_ “Phillips is so constitutionally bel
ligerent, that every other day he has
to set up the dead ex-Gov. Andrews
in his ooflin and hurl anathemas at
him; but, as 'dead men tell no tales,’
and Andrews has no medium through
which to reply to Philips’ phillippies,
the Boston orutor experiences a
fuller measure of satisfaction by just
now pitchiug into auother of Massa
ebusests’ sons. Judge Devens, the
‘slave-hound,’ who is unfortunately
a member of President Hayes’ Cabi
net, and twenty-six years ago to-day
(April 6)—the anniversary of the ar
rest of Thomas Bimins—was the
United States Marshal who took
charge of that fugitive slave from
Georgia, aud on the morning of the
12th of April put the negro on board
the brig Acorn, under a guard of the
whole police force of the city, aud
oonveyed him to Savannah where he
was delivered to his master, John
Potter.
“Those were exciting times and
Weudeil Phillips was in his glory.
He really had something to talk
about, but he talked more guardedly
in the vicinity of the Court-house
than he did in Philadelphia the other
day.
“In the case of Simms sharp words
passed between Mr. Sewaliaud Depu
ty Marshall Riley upon the subject of
the arrest; and Fletcher Webster, a
son of the great expounder, was witii
Bewail locked up, the former for in
terfering with the sexton of Kiog’s
Chapel, who was ringing an alarm for
fire. Mr. Webster insisted that it
was done simply to arouse the Abo
litionists. In the meantime, the
city had been put on a ‘war footing,’
while immense meetings of the citi
zens were held in all the public halls,
Phillips, Garrison and others firing
the public heart and urging iu an
indirect way a rescue of the fugitive
slave. But all the eloquence and
sympathy of the leading Abolitionists
outside of the court-house, and the
eloquence and logic of Se wall, Robert
Rautool, jr., and Charles Bummer
inside the chains did not prevent
Commissioner George TicknorCurtis
from remanding Simms to slavery.
Mr. Richard Grant White says that
English women in general are the
worst-dressed human creatures that
he ever saw, and adds: “In form the
Eoglish woman’s dress is dowdy, in
color frightful.” But he sweetens
this dose by saying that they are
more thoroughly educated than
Americans.
Drummer* Itrady lor Kmrrarnelrm
Mr. Plummer,the vigilant night-watch
man at the Maxwell House, mentions a
fact that is not generally known. Hu has
has been a close observer of the habits of
commercial,travelers, and saya the great
majority of them carry in their valises a
knotted silk rope, or one made of other
strong material, to which shook ia attach
ed. The contrivance takes up very little
room and can be used as a mode of sate
exit from the windows of hotels in case of
fire. The most Improved torm, however,
is in the shape of flexible ladders, made
of fine steel chains, armed with sharp
hooks at one end and furnished with rugs
or cross pieces of tliick ateel wires. In
case of fire the hooks are fastened inside
the windowsill, the ladder is allowed to,
unroll outside the window, and it is then
ready for use. These ladders can be roll
ed up into very small compass, and one
six'y feet long does not weigh more than
ten or fifteen pounds.— Nashville Ameri
