A cotton italk, twelve inches high,

has any more stalks of that size.
Tas Atlanta correspondent of the
Maoon Telegraph writes that the
presses of the Constitution will here
after be driven by water, from the

a rumor that anew daily paper, to
be “independent*' in politics, and

journalists," will be established in
Atlanta.

Louisiana papers state that the
mud blockade at the mouth of Red
river, whieh last season turned fully
forty thousand bales of cotton, and a
correspondingly large amount of
trade from New Orleans, is rapidly
reforming. A bill is before the Legis
ture to appropriate 120,000 to remove
this bar, If it becomes necessary to
do so.
Thi editor of the Oainsville Eagle,
who has recently been on a visit to
Dawson county, was made to believe
some pretty huge reports while he
was there. For Instance, be says
that “it is impossible to buy a quart
or a drink in the county, *' and “there
Is literally no drunkenness or immor
ality In the county.” It bas been
only three or four weeks since “Uncle
Ham" released quite a number of the
oitlzeas of that eounty who were un
der arrest for the illicit distillation
or sale of liquor.
Tax Constitution learns that some
men living In the upper counties of
Georgia, who have never heard of
the eloee of the war, are still hiding
out.
The truth is, the war never closed
until quite reoently, especially in
some of the upper oounties of Geor
gia. Witness the thousand oltixens
of that section lately released at At
lanta-many of whom, doubtless,
were entirely innocent of the charges
made against them.
Tax Charleston Journal of Com
merce says: One ef the results of
the settlement of the governorship
is a better feeling among our rice
planters on the Savannah and Com
bahee rivers, who have been anx
iously awaiting the decision which
was so quietly reached by the retire
ment of Mr. Chamberlain. A large
amount of money will be paid out
now to laborers in the rice fields that
would have been unavailable had the
gubernatorial question been unset
tled until too late tor planting.
Quits so excitement wu occasioned
in New Orlesoa, os Friday, by the
Timet publishing s statement to the
effect that the claim of Mrs. Oaines,
on which a decree in her favor was
lately rendered by Judge Billings’
court, embraced a large portion of
the heart of the city, including much
of Canal street, the custom-house,
&o. But this was quieted on Satur
day by the Democrat showing that
this portion of her claim had been
determined adversely by a decision
of the Land Office at Washington,
and was no longer in litigation.

Tkk Thomasville Times gives an
uooount of the drowning of two
young men, Wm. P. Slater and P. H.
Brown, both well known and much
respected It Its city. They were
drowned on Wednesday last, in Lake
lamonia, by the upsetting of a boat
containing themselves and Messrs.
J. H. Fitzpatrick and Bobert Brown.
When the boat sunk, Slater and P.
H. Brown struck out for the shore,
but were unable to reach it and
drowned. Fitzpatrick and Robert
Brownjstood on the sunken boat and
were thus enabled to keep their
beade above water until rescued.
Mr. B. U. Batjoiak proposes
through the Macon Telegraph that
the press of Georgia call on Hon.
Joseph E. Brown, Hon. H, V. John
son, Judge Jackson and Hon. O. J.
Jenkins to draft anew constitution
and sabmlt it to the Convention, if
it should be called, and let the Con
vention adept it and return home
We would have no particular objec
tion to that, as the people would
have to vote on it. But we submit
that the Legislature might have done
it three or four years ago, and thus
have entail all the expense of a Con
vention. It eould have asked the
gentlemen named to draft all the
amendments desirable, passed them
at two suooeasive seas lons, and bad
them ratified by the people before
this time.

“Buka,,” In a dispatch of the gist
to the New Orleans Democrat, Insists
tfcat there was an intrigue first to
elect Foster, and afterwards Garfield,
Speaker of toe House by Democratic
defection. He eaye that ten or twelve
Democratic Bepresentatives were to
be Induced by the Texne Pacific Baii
road influence to absent themselves
when the vote was taken forßpeaker,
and thus permit the election of a Re
publican; that it was found Foster
could not command the full Republi
can rote, and therefore he was drop
ped ; that Garfield was then present
ed as on* who eould units all the Re
publicans; but that some of Foster's
friends, finding out bow the scheme
had been worked in the interest of
Garfield, are now refractory. We
briefly give this report for what it
may be worth, with the remark that
our inclination is not to believe any
stories of the kind unless the names
Of the parties involved are given.
BBUVnANCK.
To-day will witness the withdrawal
of the last bayonet propping a de
facto carpet-bag government In the
South. It may properly be regarded
as ths date of the close of the war,
lor never until now have all the
States of the South been restored to
their constitutional rights and been
permitted to ohooso their own local
governments. The government
“outside of the constitution,” insti
tuted by Thad. Stevens, bas never
been fully abandoned until now.
We may now. In reality, rejoice in a
fully restored Union, and in view of
the final triumph of constitutional
principle over the passions of party
and seotlon, we may exclaim in the
language of an ancient patriot, "Be
hold, the tyrant prostrate in the
dust, and Rome again is free I”
We are not disposed, because we
epposed his election, and still dis
pute its legality, to deny to President
Hayes much credit for this long-de
layed triumph of State rights over
centralized power. He has undoubt
edly had many difficulties to encoun
ter—difficulties which we, at this re
move, are apt to under-estimate.
The opposition in his own party to
his abandonment of the policy of
Grant was unquestionably very for
midable and threatening. It was led
by men wbo bad a personal interest
In keeping the States still in military
subjection, and wbo may yet make
bitter war upon Mr. Hayes for
his course. But, in spite of the op
position and of the antecedents of
his party, be has taken the only
statesmanlike view of the “Southern
question” yet taken by officials at
Washington, and bis firmness in ad
hering to it gives promise of an ad
ministration that will do much to
wards the real paoiflcatlon of the
country and the return of the Federal
Government to its constitutional
sphere.
It is unquestionably the duty of the
Southern people and their represent
atives in Congress to give President
Hayes their support on all issues
arising out of his course, in a contest
with Blaine, Butler, Morton and the
carpet-baggers. This support should
be given in the ratification of his
nominations opposed by these extre
mists, in the cheerful voting of all
appropriations needed for an eco
nomical and faithful administration
of the several departments of the
Government, and in a strict observ
ance of the obligation to protect and
recognize the political rights of all
classes end conditions.
Why suffer with a bad cold if one

Judge Francis Buobek, one of the
oldest and best known citizens of
Montgomery, Ata., died suddenly of
paralysis, in that city, on Saturday.
He was a native of Connecticut, but
had lived in Alabama about fifty
years. He was a lawyer by profes
sion, and had several times filled ju
dicial and legislative positions very
creditably. His age must have been
near eighty.
And now the Washington corres
pondents of the New York Sun and
Cincinnati Eaqpirer are charging
den. Gordon with writing a letter
advising the Demoorats of tho New
Jersey Legislature to elect Wm. Wal
ter Phelps (moderate Republican) to
tbe United States Senate, when the
Democrats had a majority and could
elect one of their own party, as tbe
result proved. These correspondents
appear to have picked out three or
four Southern Democratic Congress
men whom they intend to charge
with desertion or betrayal of their
party in every conceivable way.
There Is no danger of the Democrats
of Georgia believing that Gen. Gor
don would ever prove faithless to
them or their interests.
Path Iwtlt and Turkey Arsnlus Tbeut
eelvt* la this Country.
N. T. Tribune.|
It has been ascertained that Turkey
is much better supplied with arms
than was at first supposed, she hav
ing received over suo.ooo stand of
arms from Providence, R. 1., within
the past two years, under a contract
(or £OO,OOO Peabody guns, a breech
loading rifle similar to the Martini-
Henry rifle used In England. These
rtfies are still being manufactured
for and delivered to the Turkish
Government, several officers of which
hsve been in this country for some
monthß post inspecting the arms and
superintending tbelr manufacture.
The Turks also have contracts with
various firms in this country for 200,-
00p,$00 rounds of metalio cartridges
and for a large number of cartridge
cases, which are now being made at
Bridgeport and New Haven, Conn.,
and other places.
Russia has also received a good
supply of arms from this country, is
pursuance of contracts with Smith &
Wesson, Colt, and other manufac
turers. These contrsots were for re
volvers, a large number of which
have been delivered.
A Remarkable Calf.— We heard
yesterday of a calf that is oertainly a
great curiosity. It is of the Ayreshire
reed and is owned by Captain Brit
Davis, near Green Hill. At six
months of age the calf's udder be-
Se so large that it was milked, and
a gallon of milk obtained at the
milking. Tbe calf is not yet a
year old, is not weaned, and is milked
regularly twice a day. The milk Is
used freely by the (roodmen on the
place, who pronounce it very palata
ble. Our informant states that Capt.
Davis proposes to test the milk
shortly, in order to asoertain if It will
make butter. We deem this the
most remarkable freak of nature of
the kind that has ever happened in
the State of Georgia. If there ever
oase, we would like to
ear of it.—Lumpkin Independent.

“A RICH HAN'S AND NOT A POOR HAN’S
HOMESTEAD,”
Mr. Cox, of LaGrange, made a
speech in Hamilton last week in favor
of a Convention. Of course he spoke
against the homestead. His argu
ment upon this question I take to be
the most considerable yet made. Tbe
principle of the homestead is correct,
no doubt. It is wise, just and humane.
All this, Mr. Cox udrnlts. For my
part, I would not argue with the bigot
who denied it.
But, says Mr. Cox: “Our homestead
is a rich man’s and not a poor man’s
homestead.” If this be true, it is a
fatal objection. Whatever is for the
rich, and against tbe poor, ought to
be abolished from the face of tbe
earth—speedily, utterly. No man, I
think, would be reudier than I to
invoke fire “from that Heaven which
hates fraud,” for the destruction of
anything that favors the rich and
oppresses tho poor. But let us see
what there is in this objection.
Tbe intention of the Homestead is
the protection and support of the
family against the misfortune or im
prudence pf the husband. It is in
tended to secure to the family the
means of support. Now tho average
family consists of tho husband, wife
and four children. The question
therefore is, is three thousand dollars
worth of real and personal property
more than enough to furnish a de
cent support for such a family? To
state the proposition is to answer it.
Let any farmer say if, with the
amount now allowed by the Home
stead, he is able, after he has dooe
his very best, t make more than
even a scanty support. It is a fact
known to many, but not sufficiently
well known, that the small farmers
of Georgia work harder, and are
worse housed, worse clothed, and
worse fed than any class in tbe State
except the agricultural laborers.
Let some of these lawyers and mer
chants and capitalists who want a
Convention to reduce the Homestead
to fifty acres of land for a man and
his wife, and five acres additional for
each odild-let them go outand work
for a living on two hundred acres of
land, with two or three bead ef stock
to cultivate it awhile, and they will
be ready to proclaim from the house
tops until they are hoarse “No Con
vention!” “No reduction of the
Homestead!”
But it is said that some people
protect too much land under the
Homestead—in some cases as much
as four or live hundred acres. In
that case tbe land must be poor, and
consequently more of it is required,
Certainly if the officers whose busi
ness it is to value tbe land do their
duty—and this they can be eompell
ed to do by the creditors; no man
can have set apart more than tbe
value of $2,000. Take some portions
of this State, tbe valley of tbe Eto
wah for example; suppose a farmer
wants a Homestead there—the laud
is worth from twenty-five to fifty dol
lars per acre—he would get a Home
stead of from forty to fifty acres—by
no means too large.
Mr. Cox, with reason, praises the
system of small farms in Franoe.
Well, when our lands become as pro
ductive and as valuable as the lands
in France our Homestead will secure
only small farms in Georgia. But.
though nothing could possibly be
further from the truth, even suppose
it was desirable at present to cut up
our land into fifty acre farms ; would
the reduction of the Homestead
secure the result? Not at all. I
will show what would be the result.
Jones has two hundred acres of land;
he baa been unfortunate, got in debt;
in plain language, tbe capitalist and
provision merchan have robbed him.
Well, the Homestead allows him only
fifty acres. Mr. Cox’s idea is, that
he would sell fifty to an emigrant,
fifty to a thrifty laborer, and tbe
other fifty to somebody else, and thus
we should have four pretty little
ideal farms. The reply is, the emi
grant is not there, the thrifty laborer
is not there; but the somebody else
is there; and he is no other than the
capitalist or provision merchant
aforesaid ; and he will get tne whole
hundred and fifty; and from neigh
bor Smith, he will get a hundred aud
fifty more; and from Brown as much
more—and so on till soon or late he
will have a plantation of many thous
asd acres, and tbe children of Jones,
Smith, and Brown will cultivate it
for him. Oh, yes! We shall have
small farms then with a vengeance.
We shall have a miserable, bobtail,
parvenue, bastard, landed aristocra
cy, with hearts in their bellies and
brains in their pockets, and tbe chil
dren and grand-children of the hon
est people of Georgia will be their
tenants and slaves.
Mr. Gox says that the Homestead
was offered to the people by the Con
vention of 1868 “as a bribe to get
them to accept the Constitution.”
Yes, and there were several other
bribes offered-the abolishment of
“imprisonment for debt,” the "Pub
lio School System,” the "woman’s
law,” the different “relief laws”
(in which the Delegates to that Con
vention had no personal or party in
terest) ail these were bribes, but they
were bribes of such good gifts that the
people accepted them and have not
regretted their acceptance.
A word or two or some other
points. Col. Blaudford is fond of
hurling his wrath and ridicule
against the “Bureaux”-the Agricul
tural Bureau, tbe Geologioal Bureau,
and ths “Bug Bureau.” He apologi
ses for Gov. Smith and his adminis
tratioo, saying that Gov. Smith
found the whole machine in opera
tion when he went to Atlanta, the
various offices and ’bureaux; “his
hands were tied by the Constitution;
they found it impossible to retrench
and reform." Truly, Col. Bland
ford, “the American people (some of
them) have short memories.” Have
you so soon forgotten that these
very bureaux were created by Oov.
Smith's administration—that they are
nut in the Constitution at all?
Col. Blundtord wants 350 members
in tbe lower House. Col. Ingram
wants 150; Mr, Cox thinks 100
enough; and Judge Pou would prefer
44. Well, all of these ideas were be
fore the Convention of 1808. They
bad to compromise on tbe present
number. Does not any sane man
see that another Convention would
have to do the same thlug? Col. B.
wants the Judges elected by the peo
ple. The Governor has only the
initiative in their appointment. His
nominations have to be passed upon
by the Senate, and the Senators are
as truly representatives of the people
ae tbe members of tbe House. Be
sides, have we ever had a better ju
diciary? If the present system is
unsound it will manifest itself, and
then the people will be quick to
change it.
A word about the composition of
the Convention of 1868. It was com
posed of one hundred and seventy
five members. Of the one hundred
and seventy-five only twenty-five
were of Northern birth. Of these
twenty-five thirteen had been citizens
of Georgia for more than twenty
years. There were only nine carpet
baggers in tbe Convention, and only
one of the nine, Bryant, was a man
of any influence. On the vote upon
the adoption of the Constitution four
of the fourteen nays were among the
most eminent Republicans in the
body—Akerman, Bigbee, Burnett and
Holcombe. Among the yeas was the
most eminent Democrat in the Con
vention, H. V. M. Miller. But what
do the people care about "who made
this Constitution?” Not a fig.
Certain Convention advocatos con
sume large portions of time and
space to prove that the people have
the right to meet in Convention, and
say that to opuose the Convention
shows a distrust of their virtue and
intelligence. Certainly they have
the right to meet every Saturday even
ing and make anew Constitution if
they wish. But then they don’t wish.
Gentlemen, do you take the people
for a parcel of children? or do you
believe that ail men—present com
pany excepted—are divisible into
three classes—big fools, little fools,
and medium sized fools?
W. D. T.
F. 8.-If this should meet the eye
of any whose “claims” have not
been favorably considered by the
Governor and who wish to have the
judges and solicitors elected, think
ing that perhaps tho people will be
more appreciative of the said
“claims, they are advised that in
all probability they are indulging in
quite a delusive hope. Trust to your
self. young man, aod not to the Gov
ernment patronage. If your genius
obstinately refuses to soar, try the
respiration of the muscles.

Claude Cochran, in tbe Elijay Courier,
rattles oil this:
A Dutchman, who was about three
sheets in the wind, was staggering along
on tbe streets yesterday and cbanced to
see a bonnet banging, as a sign, on a post.
Going up to the poet he threw his arms
around it and said:
*lsh you nod cold oud ’ere, mine pooty

‘That is not a girl,’ remarked a gentle
man wbo was passing by.
‘Der dunder you zy!' replied the
Dutchman, at the same time gazing at
the post.
‘No, it is nothing, but a post with a
bonnet on it. Don't yon see?’
‘Veil, py sbimminy criminy! Ish (hie)
