A dispatch published two or three
days ago stated that the Turks had
ninety-seven infantry battalions in
or near the Dobrodsha. The Rus
sians, according to estimates made
about the same time, had sent about
one hundred and twenty thousand
men across the Prutb, all of whom
are probably on the Danube by this
time.
We should have written resident

Forsyth. He was born before Colum

a long time, and was better known

Georgia. The mistake was made in
the haste of preparing telegraphic

who was workiug in the woods some
distance from house, heard a gun or
pistol shot, and when ho went homo

“PRKACHINti" ON THE WAR.
The New York World publishes re
ports of three sermons preached in
that city add Brooklyn last Sunday
on the war in Europe, Rev. J. C.
Miln, of the Puritau Church, Brook
lyn. rogardod it as “a battle between
God and Satan'’—Russia represent
ing God and Turkey Satan. He hop
ed and believed that Turkey would
win.
Bishop Snow, at Zion Church, N.
Y., looked upon the war as one of
the events Indicating the second
coming of Christ. He thought that
the desruction of kingdoms and na
tions, which is to immediately pre
cede the millennium,had commenced
—that this war was the beginning of
the end—and that from this time there
would be war on earth such as was
never known before, accompanied
by pestilence and famine. He said:
“Th 6 latter days have arrived, and
the rider upon the red horse, men
tioned In Revelations, who is typical
of "War," has now gone forth and
drawn the sword from the scabbard
in Russia, which sword will no more
be returned until the end of all na
tions is accomplished."
Itev. R. H. Newton, of Anthon
Memorial Church, N. Y., treated the
subject in a more Christian spirit.
He deprecated wai*, and contended
that even to trade it could be of no
substantial or permanent beueflt;
thut the stimulus which nt ftrst runs
up prices must be followed by a
period of prostration that will be in
jurious to industry and trade He
said that "he did not wish to be un
derstood as believing that all wars
were unnecessary and evil. To wage
war was sometimes just and necessa
ry. For instance in cases of invasion
by an 'ehemy merely for conquest
or in eases where o great wrong had
been committed that required to be
redressed. Sometimes long contin
ued peace was even the sign of low
morality, as indicating selfishness,
inertia, and want of manliness.. Still,
he thought thut the war which has
just broken out between Russia and
Turkey was an unnecessary one; and
he grieved to see that the pubtie sen
timent in this country was In fhvor
of war, for the one reason that it
would put money in our pockets.”
THE COTTON TAX.
Reports continue to ootrie from
Washington that President Hayes
declares himself In favoT of works of
Internal Improvement in the South,
undertaken by the Federal Gonvern
nient. for the purpose of helping the
Southern people to recover their
prosperity and giving employment
to numbers of their people. An ob
ject, notsoopenly avowed, is to recon
cile the Democrats of this section to
the new administration. While we
are aware, as we have said on a for
mer occasion, that the Federal Gov
ernment justly wees the South a large
measure of benefits of this kind,
as compensation for the money ami
credit of the whole country lavished
upon works for the bcnellt of the
North and West, we would prefer
that It should pay another debt ilrst.
We refer to the unjust and invidious
cotton tax, which the Supreme Court
of the United States came so near
declaring unconstitutional, and do
doubt would have declared unconsti
tutional but for the übscnce of the
Chief Justice—the other Justices
Being equally divided on the ques
tion. Whether it was unconstitu
tional or not, It was unfair and ex
ceptional, and did much to cripple
our exhausted and impoverished
people and prevent their recupe
ration after the war. Tho amount
thus unjustly col looted of them
is stated at fully sixty millions of
dollars, of which Georgia’s share was
about ten millions. No doubt it was
larger than this, us the tax was im
posed for three years, being part of
the time 3 aud part of the time 2 cts.
per pound. At 2 cents per pound, on
a crop of three millions of bales, the
tax would be #:tu.000,000 a year, or
#90,000,000 for the three years. This
extortion constitutes a debt which
the Federal Government justly owes
to the people of the South, and which
it should refund as a measuro of
equity aud right. It has no connection
whatever with any war reprisals,
debt or claims, having all been col
lected after the war had closed, and
upon cotton raised after the war.
The Government Imposed it as a pun
ishment, and should remit itas an
act of justice.
It is said that one great obstacle to
the refunding of this tax heretofore
has been the difficulty of restoring it
to the men who actually paid it—
many of them having assigned their
claims to others. The Huyneville
Examiner suggests that Congress
could get over this difficulty by re
quiring its application to the pay
ment of the debts of the cotton States
and for the support of public schools
intheHout.h. We hardly think that
this would be fair towards the plant
ers who actually p&id the tax, A
better (dan, we th.uk, would be for
the Federal Government to pay
to each Southern State the
amount of tho cotton tax ascer
tained to have been collected from
Us citizens, and leave to the State the
task of refunding it to those who
actually paid it, as far as practicable.
No doubt a way could be found
through this medium of reaching
most of tbe cottqn tax payers, and of
equitable adjusting accounts between
tbem and tbe lawyers and others to
whom they have made assignments.
As by this process the tax would not
be recovered by the lawyers and as
signees, they could not legally or
equitable claim more than reason
able commissions; and the larger
portion would go to tbe tax
payers where ascertained. Let
Congress (leal in this matter with the
States, and leavo to the States the
task of settling with their own citi
zens. This is good Democratic and
wo believe constitutional doctrine,
and in this particular case it will re
lieve from embarrassment any Con
gressmen or Federal officials who
may feel that the tax ought to be re
funded, but who hold back because
they ure doubtful whether it will go
into the proper hands when refund
ed.
IIUOWX AND CAUHDON.
The Atlanta Constitution publishes
a long and rather spiteful communi
cation of Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown,
attaching Senator Gordon’s oourse
in reference to the Electoral Commis
sion and the counting of the Electoral
vote in accordance with the deoia
sions of tho Commission. The Ex-
Governor argues his point adroitly,
as a shrewd lawyer, to prove that
Gen. Gordon misrepresented the
facts of the ease when ho said, iu
effect, that he had no moro to do with
the counting in of Mr. Hayes in
this way than any other Demo
cratic Congressman who sup
ported the Electoral Commis
sion bill. For this purpose, he
re-produoed the correspondence al
ready published between Gen. Gor
don, L. Q. C. Lamar and John Young
Brown on the one side, and Foster
and Matthews on the other.
We do not care to aid in raking up
this matter again. Suffice it to say
that we regarded the Presidential
election as virtually committed to the
Electoral tribunal wheh that extra
ordinary body was raised, and what
ever was done afterwards was the
mere carrying out of an agreement.
Men differed as to the binding force
of that agreement under the cir
cumstances. It was an honest differ
ence as to the extent of obligations
of personal honor, which no law or
rule could strictly define, but which
each man had to determine for him
self. We opposed the whole Com
mission scheme, and would have felt
entirely free to resist its consumma
tion at any stage. But those who in
judiciously supported it in the first
instance might well consider that
they were in honor bound to act dif
ferently. We have no controversy
with them on that point. But we in
sist that no man who supitorted the
raising of that Commission can with
clean bands throw a stone at Gordon,
or Lamar, or Hi 11, for tb ei r part in car
rying out its decisions after
wards. We further insist that a
Southern Democrat only stultifies
himself In trying to show that either
Gordon or Hill proved recreant to
his section in standing by wbat he
regarded his personal obligations
and ttie obligations of his party In
thlß matter. Gov. Brown, in his
recently re-assumed Democracy, no
doubt feels all the zeal expressed in
the hymn—
•’When young convert* first begin to slog,
Their happy souls arc on the wiug."
But he can hardly soar hign enough
just yet to attack successfully the
fidelity of Senator Gordon to the
trust which the people of Georgia
have committed to him.

Doubtless, Messrs. Editors, quite
enough has been written ou the
merit* of the Convention question,
and it seems to bo settled that the
opposition to its convocation has
grown “small by degrees and beauti
fully less,” until its friends feci as
sured that it will certainly be called.
I do not therefore propose to discuss
the question further, at this time,
but to make a suggestion rather.
If there should be opposition to
the Convention, even the most vio
lent opponentsof the measure should
desire and unite on good aud true
mou as delegates, aud on the other
hand the friends of the Convention
should see to it that their strongest
and most acceptable men should be
put forward as candidates to wiu the
popular favor as well as to represent
the people to the greatest advan
tage.
And let it be remembered that, the
delegates are not to represent coun
ties the Senatorial districts are only
to be represented, and the wishes of
the people of the whole district
should bo consulted. The people of
the country, as well as the towns, of
Chattahoochee aud Marion as well as
Muscogee are as muoh interested in
each of the dolgalcs as if they were
of their own bailiwick or county. Let
us then endeavor to select delegates,
as far as we can, who will satisfy the
entire couutry and district.
The writer of this, haviug had op
portunity of information to a consid
erable extent from all classes of peo
ple and from all parts of the district,
knows no one more acceptable to the
people of the whole district than our
late able and efficient Solicitor Gen
eral, Col. William A. Little, of Mus
oogee. Of ids capacity and ability
there oan be no question, and in
framing an organic fundamental law,
under which we are in future to look
for protection of “life, liberty and
tho pursuitof happiness,” the people
of the district can safely and satisfac
torily trust their interest to his keep
ing. They know him, and so know
ing him, his name wilt add strength
to the cause and confidence in its
success. Let us select him.

The Philadelphia Times mentions

the Russian fleet is preparing to
leave port, and it is supposed that
the design is to intercept vessels

that Russian agents aae negotiating

speculation.
Front the Augusta Chrouiclc.]
Ono of the most deplorable results of the
war between the States was the specula
tive mania. It penetrated the whole
country, and the ruin it has wrought,
North and South, no tongue can tell. Bit
ter, indeed, have been tho leseons of tbe
viutims and tbe dupes, and disastrous the
experience of legitimate traders, who, by
no fault of theirs, have been swept iius
the common maelstrom of destruction.
We have heard it estimated that two cot
ton crops would hardly reimburse the
South for what she hue lost in "futures,”
and every nook and corner of the North is
strewn with tinanetal wrecks. We are
sorry to see that this mnnia, which had
subsided to a reasonable degree, is agttiii
rampant, consequent upon the warlike at
titude of tho European Powers, notably
Russia aud Turkey. Some men may make
sudden fortoqes, only to lose them again;
but the general result will bo unwhole
some to the mass of business men. The
Chicago Tribune, speaking of the rage for
speculation in wheat, says thnt "the wild
eet rumors of gain have infected the pew
pie. Use is said to have made SIOO 000;
another four times as much; another
pledged hts wateh for a margtu, and re
tired with *20,000 in his pocket a few hours
later. The possibilities of gain are limit
ed only by the imagination, and nobody
contemplates the tbory of loss." What
a crowd of madmen will follow into that
Inviting, but deadly breach !
The Tribune adds: “The fact seemed to
bo entirely ignored that, when it reached
$1 80, wheat was really higher than it had
over been before. It is true that it once
sold as high as $2 80 during our own war,
but this was when gold was worth two
and nearly threo times as much as green
backs. Now that the gold dollar is worth
but a few cents more than the greenback
dollar, wheat at $1 80 per bushel is higher
than it ever was."
The cautious and conservative New
York Bulletin warns its rendbrs not to be
too rash ill speculative ventures, at this
time, and adds: “Speculation usually
goes far beyond the facts that give rise to
It; and the current operations on this side
the Atlantic, in articles likely to be affect
ed by the war between Turkey and Rus
sia, does not promise to be an exception
to this rule. Avery large advance has
occurred In all exportable food commodi
ties, without waiting for a moment to
consider In what manner or to what ex
tent the supplies usually furnished
by other countries are likely to
be affected. A rough estimate lias
been formed of what quantity of
breadstuffs is usually exported by the
two oountrles, and the conclusion is
jumped to that tho whole of that sup
ply will be cut off from Europe, and that
the deficiency must be compensated by in
creased exports from the United Slates
This conclusion is altogether too sweep
ing to stand the lest of exiwrience, and
any transactions based upon it are ex
posed to a severe revulsion.”
If the (all should be as sudden ns the
rise in b readstuffs—and who knows hut
what it may be so?—what a legion of
"lame ducks” would throng the markets,
streets and’Changes of the land! We
regret exceedingly thatjust as legitimate
trade was taking courage and getting con
fidence, speculation should break out
again, like a smothered volcano, and
threaten to engulf everything in a wide ca
lamity.
The Democrats will sustain the
man they fought so earnest ly against,
not that they love him more, but
these Republicans less. Aud they
will confirm his appointments aud

PtttlM ANW CONN.
EdiUn• Times: Your correspondent
Is a subscriber to the Daily Tikes,
Macon Telegraph, Atlanta Constitu
tion, &e. It has been his delight *o
read the different articles, pro and
con., on the Convention ; and when
he sits on a stumpsuperjntending bis
laborers, with these aforesaid artioles
revolving In his mind, he is forced to
exclaim, “Who are right, oh ye peo
ple of Georgia, on t his all-important
subject V”
Well, farmers, as a class, are not
politicians or stump-speakers; nor
are they accustomed to write news
paper articles, as fon will observe.
But they do think—and have more
sense than they have the credit of
having; therefore we write our views
on the subject.
And tlio most |s>werfui urgumeut
for any policy is, Who are the Pros
and who are the Cons? Lotus enu
metate: Alex. H. Stephens, Benj. H,
Hill, Johu Is. Gordon, all the Judges
of the Supreme Court, Herschel V,
Johnson, Charles J. Jenkins, Bob
Toombs, and men oT this class, are
the prominent advocates for a Con
vention. Who are the Cons ? Well,
we must confess that we have not
seen the name of any man of “Slate
reputation” who Is against the call
ing of a Convention, unless it be the
“eleven able” of the Atlanta Consti
tution; but even t\mt paper has not
the nerve to declare its position, and
stand by it. But. we do not profess
to bo posted throughout the State,
and may be mistaken. We do know,
however, who are the Pros and Cons
at home.
In our county (Harris ) the cons are
Hon. Wm. 1. Hudson and Mr. Flynn
Hargett; but we think If they could
have seen in the beginning how the
question would divide they would be
oq the other side, as they like to be
on the “big side” and with the men
“who lead the State.” The pros in
Harris are Cols. Mobley, Stanford,
Hon. Geo. (Dozier, Mr. Johnson, el
al., too numerous to mention.
In Muscogee the leading men who
are against the Convention are Cary
J. Thornton and William Dugas
Trammel. Are these all? It is all
that we have heard of. Undoubtedly,
under such leaders, Muscogee will
poll a large vote against the Conven
tion. The pros in Muscogee are the
entire bar, with the exception of the
above named, every merchant, and
many farmers who we have heard
speak on the subject.
We have not seen but oae article
from Chattahoochee county against
the Convention, and that was signed
“W. N. A.” After reading it we con
cluded that he had just taken a
Homestead aud was ufruid to go to
work in the event the Homestead
should be abolished.
We have heard of only a few op
ponents to the Constitutional Con
vention from Marion. It is said Hon.
E. M. Butts is opposed to a Con
vention, aud we have read an
article from “Marion,” in which
“Marion” was very much alarm
ed übout the 80,000 orphans of
Confederate dead. Well, we imagine
most of these orphans are old enough
to take care of themselves, as it has
been twelve years since the war end
ed, and the majority of them were
born before the war begun, and must
now be of age. “Marion” doubtless
would like to have all children de
clared orphans-in-law, when tbe
creditor of their father sends the
Sheriff after iiis lands. Don’t be
alarmed, “Marion;” the people of
Georgia will in Convention protect
ypur Homestead. But we would ask
“Marion” if he was taught his love
for tlie Homestead, and for which he
pleads under the prayer of orphans
and widows, in the “Jackson and
Polk” school of Democracy? Nor
do we thi.vk he need fear the lawyers
with their old fl. fus. If our infor
mation is correct, the United States
Supreme Court has declared the
Homestead law unconstitutional us
to old debts ; and if the lawyers had
these old fl. fas, we don’t think they
would have waited this long
without having made a levy;
and from the style in which the
lawyers live, we infer that they have
had but little money to invest in any
thing save a scanty living during the
past five years; and prior to that
time they were the last men in tho
world to have invested in such un
certain securities as old fl. fas., as
they could not have known that the
Supreme Court would render the
decision it has on this subject.
After reviewing the field, we must
beg to be numbered as one of the
"Pros.” Can it bo said that all the
leading men of the State are wrong?
are they not better posted in regard
to tbe needs of society, of the Gov
ernment of Georgia, than we'farmers
who plough aud hoe? Are not the
interests of these leading men identi
cal and in sympathy with the inter
est of the farming interest? Will
imy man deny that when farming
fails every everything else fails? And
do not tnese leading uiinds know
this fact? Are these leading minds
traitors to the best interests of Geor
gia?
When we think of all these things
and behold the condition of our
country', we say, hasten the day of
the Convention, and let us send our
wisest and best men to frame laws
under which prosperity may again
reside iu Georgia.
Yours,
“Harris.”
