The communications of “Harris”

the OoiioentiiW, tave been received,
and-ahall huzza publication in a day
° rtWo - j,
Accounts from Columbia say that
Wright, the colored Associate Jus
tice of the Supreme Court of South
Carolina, will probably be Impeach
ed and rethoved.
■i ♦ •
The Washington, Nation, Philadel
phia Times, New York Herald, Mem
phis Avalanche, Springfield Republi
can, and Dadevllle Headlight seem to
bo in for the new party, or at least
for breaking up the old ones.
The Supreme Court of Alabama
will meet in Montgomery on the 31st
lost. Cases from the Fourth Divis
ion, including Barbour, Bullock and
Pike counties, will be taken up on
the 25th of June; and cases from the
Fifth Division, Including Chambers,
Lee, Macon, Bussell and Tallapoosa,
will be taken up on the 2d of July.
We imagine that when Congress
meets a square issue between the two
parties will be made up on the ques
tion of the repeal of the Resumption
act. The Democrats will be apt to
present a “solid” front in favor of
repeal, and the Bepublicans may be
nearly as united in opposition. The
“Southern policy” will not swallow
up everything else.
A distinguished representative of a
foreign Government, a gentleman
whose life has been spent in the
Diplomatic service, expressed the
opinion in Washington, Friday, that
before the war between Bussia and
Turkey is over, England Austria and
France, supported possibly by Spain
aud Italy, will be found allied
against Russia and Germany.
A Chjoaoo dispatch of the 27th u\t.
says that the farmers of Minnesota,
lowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri have seeded a vast nmouQt
of wheat within the last two or three
weeks, being moved to extra exer
tions to offset the anticipated rav
ages of the grasshoppers; also that
the winter crop3 now look promis
ing. So there is a fair prospect that
the speculators, with the war panic
to help them, will not long bo able
to keep up the prices of bread-stuffs.
Gen. Sherman is reported to have
said, in a recent conversation, that
“the Russians display great wisdom
in proposing to pay for all supplies
procured in Moldavia and Wallaohia
in gold, whereby they will induce
the farmers to continue planting.
The usual course would probably
drive them into the the ranks of the
Turkish army.”
The General’s notions of the proper
course to be pursued by an invading
army have changed considerably
withiu the last twelve or thirteen
years. Had he been equally regard
ful of the rights and property of
non comb&ttants when he “marched
through the South,” he would have
left much less bitterness behind him,
and the reeonstriotlon of the Union
as it should be would have been a
less difficult matter.

Woodland Cottage, Stewart )
County, Ga., April 28, ’77. j
£d. Times: That I may aid him In
his researches, please give the editor
of the Philadelphia Bulletin the fol
lowing items, who at this time seems
to be greatly exerolsed upon the ori
gin of names:
When the seamen on board the
ship, Christopher Columbus, after a
series of fatigues, came in sight of
St. Salvador, they burst out in exu
berant mirth and jollity. "The lads
are In A Mehry Key,” cried the com
modore. America is now the name
of bait the globe.
Antiquarians say that an old negro
at Cape Cod, whenever his master re
quired anything of him, would ex
claim “Massa Chuhe It.” Thence in
time the name of Massachsetts.
The city of Albany was originally
settled by Scotch people. Whenever
strangers on their arrivaljthere, asked
how the new-oomers did, the answer
was, "All Bonny.” The spelling,
we And a little altered, but not the
sound.
When Julius Ctesar’s army lay en
camped at Tieonderoga, near 2000
years ago, the deserters were com
monly tied up upon a battering ram
and flogged. When any culprit was
brought out the commanding centu
rion would exclaim, “Tie on the
Rogue.” The name we see has worn
well.
A fat landlady, who about the time
of the flight of Mahomet from Mecca,
lived between New Orleans and the
Chickasaw Cliffs, was scarcely ever
unfurnished with pigeon sea-pie; and
thenee got the name of Mrs. Skapie.
The enormous river, Mississippi,
owes its name to this fat landlady.
When the French first settled on
the banks of the St. Lawrence, they
were stinted by the Intendant Mon
sieur Pieard, to a can of spruce beer
a day. The pOofrle thought this
measure very scant, aud every mo
ment articulated, a Day.” It
would be ungeherous in any reader
to desire a more rational derivation of
the word Canada. j. b. G.
A Chinaman thus explains the ob
ject of the Celestial order of Free
Masonry; “One Chltyman-he bad

put him opt. S’posegood—work, no
steal—he—sick—we pay; he die, we

COTTON NEED.
We clip the following from the
New York Sun of Friday last:
A ton of ootton seed yields about
700 pounds of cake or meal, tblrty
tlve gallons of oil, a few pounds of
Hot ootton, some ashes, and other re
fuse. The meal Is worth $lB per ton,
the cake from #24 to S2B, and the
crude oil thirty-eight amts per gal
lon. The oil is valuable In paints
and cnemicals, and when refined
makes an excellent table oil. The
cake is shipped to Europe for stock
feed, the refuse used in the manufac.
lure of soap, and the meal is in con
stantly increasing dcmund us a augur
cane fertilizer.
We suppose from the locality of
of its publication that the above are
New York values, but they will
answer as a basis for some calcula
tions which we have to make. We
present them in the hope of thereby
directing the attention of cotton
planters of the South to the value of a
large portion ofthergreat crop whiula
is now regarded as little better tban
“refuse.” To every average bale of
ootton there are fully 1000 pounds of
seed, or 40 bushels of 25 pounds to
the bushel. The paragraph above
copied says that the 1000 pounds of
seed will yield 171 gallons of oil,
worth 38 cents per gallon in its crude
state. This is $0.65 for the oil from
the 1000 pounds of seed. Then 350
pounds of meal from the same 1000
pounds of seed, at $lB per ton, are
worth $3.15 more. Here are $9.85
added to the value of euoH bale of
ootton, without taking into the ac
count the few pounds of lint obtained
in cleaning the seed, the refuse (hull)
and ashes. These would probably
pay the expense of grinding and
pressing.
Iu a crop of 4,000,000 bales of cot
ton, this utilization of the seed would
add $40,000,000 to the commercial
value of the crop—more than enough
to pay the ordinary expenses of the
governments of every State that
raises cotton. To Georgia’s 500,000
bales, it would add a value of $5,000,-
000, The New England farmers
would grow rich off of such “pick
ings” as this, without obtaining a
dollar for the lint. But the South
ern people feed the raw seed to their
stock, for which purpose as fed they
are at best of but little, and perhaps
of no value; or they use them
as a fertilizer, for which
purpose their value is unques
tionable, but not worth near
$lO per 1000 lb. It is moreover con
tended that the hull of the ootton
seed contains tho fertilizing property
and is worth as much for that pur
pose without as with the kernel.
This does not seem reasonable, aDd
probably Is not strictly true, but we
rnay safely assume that much of tho
fertilizing valuo is in the hull. This
being so, the fertilizers of the farm
would be but little if any reduced by
such a utilization of the seed ns would
add $lO to the value of each bale of
cotton raised.
It rnay be contended that if all or
the larger portion of the cotton seed
were converted into meal and oil,
the markot would be overstocked and
these products would fall greatly in
value. We think that the uses men
tioned and a comparson of prices nam
ed with those of other artioles used for
the same purposes will show that no
such apprehension need be enter
tained. The meal or cake is worth
the price given in comparison with
grain at low rates, and the moat suc
cessful feeders of stock say that a
large admixture of it with other food
adds much to the condition of stock.
It oould be profitably used for this
purpose on the farm, saving money
that is paid for Western corn and
oats, or enabling the farmer to re
duoe his crops of grain. As to the
oil, if valuable for lubricating and
illuminating purposes, its cheapness
would enable it to take the pluce of
other oils, used for those purposes,
and for which the Southern peo
ple now have to pay mil
lions of dollars to producers of other
States. And if the refined cotton
seed oil makes an excellent salad oil
—as good os olive oil, some accounts
say—it could be extensively used for
culinary purposes at the South, thus
saving many hundreds of thousands
of dollars now annually paid to the
West for lard. Were the profits
above estimated based on high prices
for cotton seed meal and oil, there
might be reason to fear that they
oould not compete with other artioles
used for the same purposes; but when
a rich feed for stock is valued at less
than one cent per pound, and an oil
excellent for various uses is rated at
only 38 cents per gallon, it is difficult
to find the other commodities that
can undersell them for theso uses.
NO NOMINATIONS.
Editor Times: Asa friend of the
Convention wo regret that nomina
tions are being made in various places
in the State, for delegates to that
body. As you say in your yesterday
morning’s issue, “it is deplorable to
see such a scramble for a position
which certainly ought to bo the free
offering of the people to a man emi
nently fit for It.”
Nominators must and will be party
affairs, nnd are only admissible on
purely party grounds, and for party
safety. No uoh peril now confronts
us. The doors should be thrown
wide open, and the people allowed to
make a selection based on worth aud
fitness. Nominations commit us to
the meu nominated ; while many who
favor a convention on grounds of
expediency and need of organic
obange, would be constrained to vote
against the Convention if the views
of some men prominently named are
likely to prevail. Let as many run
as are disposed to allow their opin
ions to be canvassed. Let us have a
"spelling bee” of all who offer them
selves—and let the people not vote in
the dark.
Again, nominations will tend
greatly to defeat the Convention. If
one hundred and ninety men are
nominated, a thousand will be disap
pointed and dissatisfied—and the
Convention question will be subject
ed to their lukewarmness and that of
their friends, if not to the open hos
tility of the same.

MORE KeMOXi FOR A CONVEX*
TION.
Editors Times: I trust that I have
showu in my two last articles, at
least two good reasons for holding a
Convention; reasons founded, sot
only upon policy, but upon princi
ples, fundamental to liberty. One
of these, “State Bights,” is the key
stone of the arch that supports the
entire fabric of our Government.
The other, equally Important to our
political well-being, aud absolutely
vital to our mauhood and our honor.
Either ought to be sufficient to se
cure the calling of a Convention, un
less there aro contravening reasons
which outweigh those to which I
have referred. But if there are no
good reasons against holding a Con
vention,and that many may be super
added to those already given in favor
of it. It seems to me that there ought
to be but odb opinion on the question*
I will merelyß'efer to some impor
tant omissions In tho present Consti
tution, In which it differs from the
Constitution of 18C5, and pass on to
other questions.
Sec, 9. Art, 6—Miscellaneous Provis
ions—Constitution 1865.—" The mar
riage relation between white persons
and persons of African descent, is
forever prohibited, aud such mar
riages shall be null aud void,” etc.
The section is entirely omitted in
the Constitution of 1868, and an ab
solute prohibition inserted against
Legislative interference on this ques
tion, contained in the XI Beo. of
“Fundamental Principles,” as fol
lows:
"The social status of the citizen
shall never be the subject of Legisla
tion.”
The iuteut of this omission and ad
dition is too apparent, aud the evil
consequences too important to re
quire comment.
The following is in the Constitution
of 1865, and is omitted from the Con
stitution of 1868:
“Laws impairing the obligation of
contracts, and retroactive lews injuri
ousiy affecting any right of the citizen,
are prohibited.”
So much of the section as omits to
prohibit the impairmontlof the obli
gation of a contract is immaterial,
as that prohibition is contained in
the Constiution or the United States
and operates by its own force upon
the States; ,b<uf'the second portion in
italics is very important. There are
many rights of the citizen that do
arise from contract, as tor instance
the Homestead right, title to land or
personal property by mere posses
sion, &c. There is nothing in the
Constitution of the United States,
nor lin the Constitution of 1868,
which prohibits retroactive legisla
tion injuriously affecting rights thus
acquired. AllpreviousConstitutions
of the State, so far as I have access
to them for examination, contain
this clause which is omitted in the
Constitution of 1868—a clause only
second in importance to that which
protects contracts from injurious re
troactive legislation.
The right to a private way over
another’s land was carefully limited
in the Constitution of 1865, to cases
of necessity and where the use was
for public purposes. But the Con
stitution of 1868 strikes out all condi
tions and limitations except that
“just compensation shall be paid by
the applicant.”
These restrictions ought to be re
stored ; no man ought to be allowed
a private way through tho property
of another, except as in the Consti
tution of 1865, “in cases of necessity
or for public use.”
A t more liberal appropi lation of
one’s private property might have
been deemed expedient when the
minds of “statesmen” were contem
plating the subdivision of the State
into tracts of 40 acres, which would
necessarily cause an iucreaseof high
ways and bye-ways! But with that
theory exploded we had better come
back to the good old rule, that pri
vate property (except in cases of
absolute necessity) shall not bo taken
but for public use, and iu all cases
only after paying just compensa
tion.
There are still other clauses subject
to justoritioism. but as each objection
pointed out would require more or
less comment, these articles would
bo extended to a lengt h laborious to
me, aud perhaps tedious to most of
your readers.
In these hard times I suppose all
persons are id favor of economy. I
speak from experience wheu I say
that the public funds are wastefully
appropriated by the Legislature; that
they will continue to be wasted,
never mind what party organization
has the control ot the Government
or under what platform and pledges
the Legislature is elected. There is
but one remedy, and that is a Consti
tution so framed as to cutoff supplies
as far as possible and limit legisla
tive discretion in the appropriation
of public money. Take from the
Legislature the disoretionary power
to tax the lubor and property of the
country except for such contingen
cies as cannot be specifically named
in the Constitution. The experience
of a hundred years enables us to ap
proximate very nearly to the specific
items for the payment of which the
people ought to be taxed.
Let them be defined :
First of all, without neces
sarily reducing the number, save
S4O,(XX) annually by limiting the pay
of members to $4.00, and the mileage
to 12J cents per mile each way. Limit
the pay of clerks, doorkeepers, mes
sengers, porters, etc., of the House
and Senate, to SIO,OOO, and save $16,-
000 on the pay of 1876. This was
somewhat reduced under the pres
sure of the people for retrenchment
at the last session, but not half as
much as it ought to have been, and
could have been reduced if there had
just been in fine in the Constitution
limiting the amount to SIO,OOO. That’s
all that is necessary; one line will stop
, the leak. The public business will be
as efficiently performed, and the
public morals will be iocaloulably
benefltted by the change. Under the
present system the "lobby” is crowd
ed with Idle young men allured to
Atlanta by the shower of gold
that is to rain on the righteous and
the unrighteous, the idle and the
dissolute, whose claims for partici
pation in the public plunder are
founded not on merits, not on quali
fications for the particular service,
but as a reward for partisan ser
vices performed in anticipation of
forty idle days amidst the pleasures
of the Capita), with u stipend of
seven dollars per day to be obtained
by the influence of the successful
member with the successful clerk.
The members are scarcely elected
when letters come pouring in from
a score of candidates for clerk. Each
of these tries to secure votes for him
self as chief clerk, then cornea an
offer to locate some of the number in
some fat pluce. Then us ail cannot
be elected, the various candidates
combine into two or more sets, each
set concentrates his influence upon
the strongest candidate, promises
made by the different candidates are
transfered like bills of exchange and
duly honored. In this manner rings
are formed, chief clerks elected, and
as many of these promises as possi
ble aro fulfilled, by final drafts on
the Treasury, which are duly paid,
and this composes a part of that
deficit or floating debt of $525,000,
which the impoverished, people of
Georgia will be taxed to pay. It will
never sink; it will float awbile
longer, be added to the bonded debt,
to be followed by another float!
Limit the pay of the Chief Clerk to
what will fairly compensate him and
bis necessary assistants, which are
very few, and there will be no room
for division of spoils, no object for
formation of rings; an acre or so of
young men who now flock to the an
nual sessions, will seek employment
at home and spare themselves aud
the country a repetition of scenes,
which will follow the Capital to Mil
ledgeville or the most impenetrable
corner of northeast Georgia, so long
as the clouds around the State House
threaten a shower of gold or green
backs.
Think of parties to sweep the State
House, that, you can hire at sls per
month, getting $1 per day! Boys of
ten years old called “Pages”
getting $3 per day, with a “city
full” of the same kind to be
had at 50 cents! Door keepers
multiplied to stand at doors, because
the doors happened to have been put
there for the convenience of an
Opera House—not because they are.
necessary to the ingress or egress of
members. The doors are kept tie
cause each door makes an additional
place for the occupancy of which
somebody’s man can draw S3OB for
forty-four days’ attendance—more
money than ooe-half the tax-payers
make in twelve mouths. I had them
closed for tweuty-iour hours, but the
next day they were swinging on their
hinges at a cost oT $7 per day.
You can save $20,000 per annum by
fixing in the constitution an allow
ance to tux collectors and tax receiv
ers, reducing the percentage as the
aggregate amount of taxes received
in a particular county is increased.
That ought to be the rule, and is
the general rule; but, according to
the present law. Bibb, Fulton, Rich
mond and Chatham are paid 3 per
cent,., while the largest commission
paid in any other county is 2 per cent.
They work in an inverse ratio: the
more they receive, the larger their
commissions—the more they get, the
more they want! An attempt was
made to save $20,000 to State and
counties in collecting the taxes in
these four counties. The Joint Fi
nance Committee reported, favora
bly, a law reducing tho commissions
iu these four counties to XJ per cent.,
butamidßt the mazes ot legislation
the bill was lost, and these four for
tunate officers continue to receive
their princely salaries, while the
people groan in want and suffer from
penury.
Another line in the constitution
will stop that leak. Remember! this
burden falls on the “homestead” as
well as the palace; for however the
public money may be wasted, it
must be raised by taxation, and even
homesteads are not exempt from the
tax-gatherer.
The Comptroller’s Department,
Treasury Department, Executive De
partment, State Department, Judicial
Department, are all largely on the
increase. Thirty thousand dollars
will not cover the amount that can
be saved with just another line in the
Constitution!
All thess expenses .have grown
upon us to administers government
under the Constitution of 1868, which
was administered uuder the Consti
tution of 1860 and previous to that at
a greatly reduced cost.
Why is this? We then had about
$670,000,000 of property, we now have
less than $300,000,000, with about the
same population. There is but one
department (the Treasury) where the
labors have necessarily increased.
The fact is that the duties of the
Executive Department under the
complicated machinery of the Con
stitution that ice did not make, have
so increased that the Executive De
partment alone has $6,000 clerk hire,
s3,6ooSecretary hire, besides divers
contingencies, and the Governor aud
his employees are fully employed in
the discharge of their necessary
duties created by the vast appointing
power, the accumulated correspond
ence incident thereto, and all for
what? To administer the same gov
ernment that Joe Brown administer
ed and managed the Western & At
lantic Railroad under our Constitu
tion, with one Secretary and one
Clerk!
To correct the various leaks will
require “line upon line” in the Con
stitution, but the correctior can and
will be made, if we have a Conven
tion.
I am sure that I am inside the
mark when I say that the annual ex
penses of the Government in a very
few items, will be reduced over SIOO,-
000 per annum by making anew
Constitution, and I am sure it will
□ever be reduced under the present
one. Tliis is a question in which
every citizen is inteiested—the
laborer.be he black or white; the
Homestead man, and a man without
a Homestead—all, all, are interested
in a reduction of exftenses and con
sequent reduction of taxes, and In
an increased prosperity. I will close
for the present. Respectfully, '
