Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup is last

Ibrail, which the Turks have fee
bly bombarded, is about fifteen miles
from Qaletz, on the Danube. It Is on
the Roumanian side of the river, and
is a commercial town of some impor
tance.
The New York World does not
doubt Persia’s willingness to help
Russia against Turkey, but says that
its small and iuellieient army and
the danger of trouble with the
Indian states on its eastern confines
will probably prevent its rendering
Russia any assistance of much value.
W* do not believe that any South
ern farmer would deliberately and
knowingly “pitch” his crops so as to
exchange ten or twelve pounds of
cotton, next winter or spring, for a
bushel of corn. But that will be the
result If they make a large eotton
and a small corn crop. It is not yet
too late to avoid this error.
It Is worthy of note that the Grand
Duke Michael, brother of the Czar,
who is commauder-in-ohief of the
Russian army in Asia, is regarded as
a much better soldier than his older
brother, Grand Duke Nicholas, who
Is nominally commander-in-chief of
the army on the Danube. But the
latter is aided and no doubt directed,
by General Nopokoytchlzky, who is
called the Moltke of Russia.
Retiiuns of the special election on
the question of the ratification of the
constitutional amendment continue
to come In as they commenced- a
small vote, but almost unanimous
for ratification. We regard It as
doubtful whether forty thousand
votes have been cast in the State, but
they are so nearly unanimous as to
make the expression of the sense of
the people on this question very em
phatic and satisfactory.
Stewart county cast 100 votes for
Ratification, none against. At the
same time, John Hightower was
elected Sheriff, and John H. Thorn
ton, Coroner—both without regular
opposition.
A mass meeting of citizens of the
I2th Senatorial District was held in
Lumpkin on Friday, at which the
previous nomination by the people
of (juiunan county of Col, T. L. Gur

county. Webster county was re
quested to nominate one delegate

Aoooonts from the western part of
Pennsylvania rftilt represent the peo
ple as indignant at the election of
Don Cameron to the United States
Senate. It was bad enough to have
old Simon fastened upon them for a
life-time, and the means by which
he secured the position were a suffi
cient reproach. But the transfer of
the office from father to son, the lat
ter hardly excelling the former in
ability or fitness, is more than the
honest portion of the party la dis
posed to stand. We may expect a
MBmU-Qi£trqn representation,

of the elections pext fall.

that appeals will no doubt be taken

The HomisstKap.— The .communica
tion of Majqi McMes,which we publish
to-day, prase *s the Homestead ques
tion in a light very different from
that in which Its advocates have
been viewing it. If Major Moses’
view of the legal status of the Geor
gia Homestead is correct (and his
optntob ros legal question, always
has great weight,) a Convention is
WMiXfiffllMiW defects,
and make it such a measure of relief
as the people desire; We can, ex
press no jjosltive opinion of our own
on this law point, but we direct.atten
tion to Major Moses’ letter, as pre
senting facts and arguments worthy
of present and Serious consideration.
We think that the public generally
will agree with us that the free dis
cussion of the Convention question
whlcfal las Jien4 Mldvwfd through
our columns has done much towards
the bringing out of the strong points
on both sides. It has taken much of
our apace, but it is the momentous
question ito the politick of Georgia
and worthy of the most thoughtful
attention by all the people of the
State.
THE EXTHA REUNION.
According to information given
elsewhere, the early call of an extra
session of CongrOM has all the time
been regarded by tho Administration
at a disagreeable necessity, and the
discovery that it can bo avoided is
quite a relief. The considerations
which finally Influenced a postpone
ment until October are stated else
where, and appear to be satisfactory.
At all events, we do not think that
any lnconvenionce in this section
will result.
It is also reported that the Admin
istration prefers that a discussion in
Congress of Its “Southern policy”
shall be postponed until time shall
have vindicated its wisdom and modi
fied tfae opposition at first aroused.
This is a matter which does concern
us of the South. Tho restoration of
order and the preservation of peace
in tbeStates lately relieved from mil
itary domination will make so mani
fest the Injustice and folly of tho
Radical plan of "reconstruction”
with bayonets, that Blaine will be
squelched, and Butler “bottled
up” again. .We believe that
before October the perfect quiet
that will reign in Louisiana
and South Carolina, with the rights
of all classes better protected than
ever they were under carpet-bag rule,
will dispose of this question forever.
It may not silence such men as Wen
dell Phillips and Ben Wade, but it
will deprive them of the power to do
mischief.
Tho Republican party of the North
will have to take Its stand on the
“new departure” of the Administra
tion, or it will be beaten in every
State of that section. The party can
only maintain its unity, and probably
its very existence, by taking this po
sition. And such a position will vir
tually eliminate the "Southern ques
tion” from our national contests.
The “bloody shirt” will boas perma
nently furled as the Confederate Hag.
This is a very important step in ad
vance in our politics, and an unex
pected ono to bo made by a Republi
can President. It abandons the dis
tinctive policy which held his own
party together, and compels it to
base its organization upon other
grounds. What these may be, and
to what extent tho party may
be rallied upon them, remains
to be seen, and we must pro
bably await the extra session before
we can determine these questions.
But there is no good reason in the
world why the Democratic organiza
tion should be injuriously aflected by
the adoption of its policy by the
Administration. It will not be
crowded off its platform by tho new
comers, bnt on the contrary, having
obtained the surrender of the enemy
on one part of its line, it can now
ooncentrate its forces aud its ener
gies for the attainment of other ob
jects—gathering strength from the
overthrow and the dissensions of its
opponents, and marching steadily
onward to the complete triumph of
its policy.
UfNf.IKSUI.VU ITS OW.f COIV.
That is a curious report from
Washington which we copy to-day—
the Secretary of the Treasury de
crying the movement in some of the
States to bring the silver coin of the
Government up to par! It is in
keeping, however, with the policy
which refuses to receive the Govern
ment’s own paper currenoy for duties
on imports. The Secretary pays
out the silver (to all but
bondholders) at par, but he
objects to the States requir
ing that it shall be kept at par
in the payment of debts. The oppo
sition of the Secretary doubtless ari
ses from his apprehensioh that this
movement in the States will strength
en Judge Kelley’s bill for the re-moa
etizatlon of silver. And why does
the Secretary object to that bill, if
the people are willing to take silver
at par, as they evidently are? It can
hardly be for any other cause than
that he wishes to bestow upon the
bondholders all possible bounties
and advantages. It is for
tbeir benefit that the Government
requires gold exclusively for import
duties, and as it pays the gold to
them, it is to their interest that it
should be better than any other cur
rency. The bondholders and their
official patrons may play this game
too low down. Many of them ob
tained the bonds which they hold at
75 cents in the dollar or less, and
have already drawn In gold Interest
morn than they paid for them. The
people of the country may be willing
to pay Shy lock bis pound of flesh,
but may object to his drawing all
the blood from the body in taking it.
Tun Pali Mall G&ette* disgusted
with Wendell Phillips, says “his
frantic rhetoric makes us understand
how the cause of emancipation was
so long delayed in the United States
by the follies of its advocates, and
how the abolitionist faction was de
spised and’detested.by many who had
no sort of sympathy with slavery.”

A Blackwell’s Island prisoner
escaped ia this way; “He took a
lager beer keg, kaoeked out one of

the other. Then he stuck his own
head Into the keg and jumped into
the water. Those who saw the keg
in the water had no idea that there
was a man under it.”

THE HOMESTEAD.
war Its Advocates Mbeald support a
Convention.
Editor* Timm: In my previous ar
ticles I have touched upon some of
the reasons, whioh to my mind, ren
der anew constitution necessary.
I will state now why I am satisfied
the Convention will bo held:
Ist. Although there are differences
of opinion in the Democratic party
as to tho necessity of a Consitutional
Convention, the act submitting the
question to the people is essentially
a Democratic measure, and the Dem
ocratic majority is 80,000. This ma
jority must be overcome inside of the
party to defeat the measure, even If
the whole Republican party votes
against it.
There are but three classes counted
on as in opposition :
One class is the oflioe-holders.
They are not threatened with any se
rious dangers, and if they oppose for
fear of losing office, their influence
will be overcome by those who have
the hope of gaining office. Another
class is the freedmen. Why should
they be in opposition? There is not
a siugle right guaranteed to them by
the present Constitution that can be
taken away; but grant that they can
be deluded, and all who vote vote
against a Convention, that vote is
already counted in the Republican
vote.
The main class inside of the Demo
cratic party upon which the oppo
nents of a Convention rely, are the
men who have taken Homesteads or
those who desire to do so. Their
fears have been aroused by the Re
publicans, who endeavor to impress
the people that this is a Democratic
measure, having for its object the
destruction of the Homestead, and
they hope by this means to divide
the Democratic party. It is the Re
publican lever. They hope to get
the Homestead men voting with the
Republicans against a Convention,
and that once alienated in this way
they will continue voting with them,
on the idea, that a Republican Con
vention gave them the Homestead,
and the ascendancy of the Republi
can party will bo necessary to secure
them in its enjoyment! The color
line has been tried; that welded the
whites together and gave the De
mocracy 80,000 majorty. The expe
riment now is to aid Hayes’ polio; ot
conciliation by aotiug on the fears of
tho Homestead men and thus divide
the whites.
The necessity of a homestead, or
some other means by which the peo
ple could save something from the
wreck of the war, was fully recog
nized by the Democratic Legislature
of 1865 66. Many expedients were
resorted to, but none could be found
which would affect past obligations.
The Constitution of the United States
denied to the States the power of
passing any law impairing the obli
gation of contracts; all indebtedness
created prior to that time was pro
tected by this provision. The people
did not then ask for protection
against future liabilities; they ex
pected to pay all future debts.
In 1868, the people being still large
ly indebted, the Republican Conven
tion passed a homestead, which they
knew when they passed it, would not
reaoh a single debt previously con
tracted. "They held the word of
promise to the ear to break it to the
hope.” The Supreme Court of the
United States, acting directly on the
question, deoided that all debts cre
ated prior to 1868 were a lien on the
homestead, and that it was as to those
debts subject to levy and sale. Tbe
Supreme Court of Georgia deoided
that the homestead contained in the
constitution of 1868 was a mere trust
held by the debtor for the benefit of
the creditor, with a privilege in the
debtor to use It during the life of
himself and wife, and to his children
to use during their minority - that
after these contingencies had hap
pened, the property reverted to the
creditors; which decision, whether
correot or not, is the law of the home
stead until altered by some power
higher than the Supreme Court.
This is the present condition of the
homestead of 1868. The occupants
are mere tenants holding for the
creditor.
What are the consequences?
The land is allowed to deteriorate,
the property is only kept in such re
pair as is absolutely necessary. The
Homestead becomes more and more
dilapidated, the lands less and less
productive, and the debtor finds him
self without credit or money, having
secured to himself the inestimable
privilege of living under his own
vine and fig tree, which alas! bears
no fruit!
Is it desirable to have things re
main in this way, as they must re
main until we have a Convention?
The decision of the Supreme Court
has destroyed the value of the Home
stead ; it has taken away the fee
simple title) It has so incumbered
the alienation that the Homestead
is rendered comparatively valueless
to the present occupant; without
money and without credit, he cauuot
cultivate it. This decision can be
reached by the people in Convention,
but by no other power. They can
give such construction to the law of
1868, as will vest the fee in the head
of the family.
This may not affect eases where
the reversion has been sold and pur-,
chased, but It will cover all cases
where the reversion has not been
sold.
If a Convention is held in July,
ttiere will have been but few inver
sions sold. I have heard of one case
in Dougherty county, under an exe
cution from the United States Court.
This is a pioneer. Postpone action
twelve months, and many Home
stead reversions in the State will be
sold, rights will have become vested!,
and Constitutional Conventions will
he be powerless to defeat them. The
reversion to every Homestead In the
State will soon pass into the hands
of creditors for nominal sums, and
we will have the spectacle of a peo
ple, once free holders, oooupying
lands the legal title to whioh will
have passed out of them. This will
lead to endless litigation. If tbe
occupant of the Homestead is wast
ing the timber or otherwise damag
ing the eversion, “bills to stay
waste” will be filed, receivers ap
pointed, endless litigation will grow
up, in which the lawyers will have
a feast, and starving Homestead
men will find that the present Home
stead is but a delusion and a snare.
How many Homestead men are there
with means to employ counsel to re
sist these actions upon tbe part of
creditors? There is not a ela*s of men
in the country to whom a Convention
is as important a* it in to those who
have taken or who expect to take Home
dead for present indebtedness. Tho
Republicans wish to defeat a Conven
tion, that they may still operate
upon the fears of debtors, and make
them believe that the ascendancy of
the Republican party Is necessary to
secure the Homestead. They wish
to keep this issue open to divide the
Democracy, and unfortunately too
many Democrats, alarmed by false
fears, are unconsciously falling into
the snare.
Where is the danger of a Conven
tion to Homesteads ?
Why should the Convention not
vest the fee, and stop this sale of
reversions ? Every credit given since
July 1868, has been with the under
standing that the debtorcould secure
to himself and family real estate
worth $2,000, and personal estate
worth SI,OOO. This applies as well to
those who have taken Homesteads,
as to those who desire to take it on
debts created since July 1868.
Why should the Convention cut off
this right ? Is It not a part of every
contract made since July, 1868 ? Has
the power to take the Homestead not
been one of the elements that lessened
credit aud increased risks, and was it
not an important factor in determin
ing prices, rates of interest, etc. ?
This being so, why should the
Homestead be reduced as to any
debt incurred up to July 1877, when
the Convention convenes ?
Would it be just to reduce it on
past contracts ? I think not. In
whose interest will the Convention be
induced to do an act of injustice ?
Not in the Interest of the creditors
eurely, for they are in the minority.
Besides, this Constitution has to be
submitted for ratification, and the
members are accountable to their
constituents for whom they have
acted. The debtor class are largely
In the majority. If the Constitution
does not suit them, they can defeat
it. It their members deal unjustly
by them, they can hold them ac
countable.
I|think for these reasons that it Is to
the interest of every maa who owes
more than he can pay, and looks to
a homestead for relief, whether be
has already taken a homestead or
soon eipects to do so, that a Conven
tion should be held, and the title to
his homestead relievetl of the diffi
culties that now surround it.
I am discussing things as they are;
I am not discussing the policy of the
present homestead law as applied to
debts created after July, 1877.1 doubt
whether but few men who have
homesteads would not prefer to have
the amount reduoed as to future debts
and made inalienable.
A man with a $2,000 homestead and
no money and no credit would be
better off if he could subject a part
of what he has to future debts, so that
ha might have means to cultivate and
improve the other part. He would
have his present homestead secured
as to past debts, and if he can get
along without credit for the future,
the amount of future homesteads
will be a matter of no sonsequence to
him; but if he wants cash or credit it
is indispensably necessary to him
that he should have the power to dis
pose of or incumber a part of that
which be has had set apart under the
present law; otherwise credit is an
impossibility, and without cash or
credit lands eannnot be utilized, and
instead of prosperity every year will
but add to the distress consequent
upon this destruction of public con
fidence, which destroyed, paraly
zes industry and converts a garden
spot into a wilderness.
If men who are interested in it
could see this Homestead question
in its true light, they would be a
unit in favor of a Convention. They
have more interest in the holding of
a Convention than any other class
of people, for they are equally inter
ested in all other questions, and they
are exclusively interested in having
these sales of “the reversion” nipped
in the bud.
As to the removal of the capital,
as that of itself would be no cause
for calling a Convention, it is no
cause for defeating the call. Atlanta
has its advantages and disadvantages;
so has Milledgeville and other point s;
but where the preponderance lies is
a question upon which public opin
ion is divided, but I do not think it
is a question that wili very serious
ly enter into the canvass outside of
Atlanta. The only possible damage
to a Convention, in my opinion, may
arise from the lukewarmness of its
friends and the very small vote that
will possibly be polled. If its advo
cates will be active we shall have a
now Constitution and remove one of
the greatest dangers threatening a
division of the Democratic party.
Until we do have a Convention the
republicans will continue the cry of
danger to the Homestead. If we
have a Convention that question will
be out of the way, and without re
ducing the present Homestead as to
past debts, difficulties In the present
law can be removed and a Homestead
as to future debts fixed on a basis
more satisfactory to debtor and
creditor. New life will be given to
agriculture and other industrial pur
suits.
I I expect my remarks on the power
of a Convention to relieve the pres
ent Homestead from tbe effects of
the decision of the Supreme Court
may be the subjeot of legal criticism.
I have considered the question fully
and am satisfied that the correctness
of my conclusions can be maintained.
But a controversy on that question
would occupy more of my time and
your space than either of us would
care to devote to it.
Thanking you for the use ot your
columns, I have said all I desire to 1
say on the Convention question.
