A number of papers of the State are
speaking out in disapproval of the
big fee paid to lawyers for represent
ing the claim upon which Georgia
reoovered $200,000 from the Federal

there will be a searching Investiga

A London correspondent roiiorts
that the officials at the English War

to pour vast numbers of troops Into

Hon. Alex. Delmar, after an in

while he wanted a “metallic basis”
for the currency, he “considered
greenbacks good enough,” asking
“what disadvantage there could
be in retaining the circulation of
greenbacks, provided they could be
brought to a parity with the precious
metals.” This encourages the hope
that the President will Rot favor the
plan of returning to specie payments
by taking up the greenbacks with
bonds and then retiring them.

Fred Douglass, iu the speech
which aroused the ire of the people
of the District of Columbia, and for
which many of them demand his re
moval from the Marshals hip, char
acterized the residents of Washing
ton as isdolent and ignorant, de
clared that the city was filled with
duplicity and servility, and ocoupied
by people who endeavor to get some
thing for nothing, who wear their
hats pulled down over their eyes like
thieves and robbers, and who do this,
it Is mildly added, to give them a
Congressional look. They are
charged further with aiding treason,
of standing between impeachment
and Andrew Johnson, and of batch
ing the plot that killed Lincoln.
Fred Douglass has always been
noted for extravagance and sensa
tionalism In his political speeches,
but this time he came pretty near
telling the truth, and that is why it
hurts so muoh. Fred’s fate will be a
sad one. if he should find that he
dealt in misrepresentation and abase
for many years without injury to
himself, but as soon as he com
menced telling the truth he was pro
scribed by his political associates.
WHEAT VN. I'OTTSV.
Tho Thomasville Times publishes
a communication from Judge R. H.
Hardaway, that ought to bo carefully
read by every cotton planter In Geor
gia. Judge Hardaway is well known
as a most successful farmer—not a
theorist, but a sensible, practleal
man, who proves bis faith by his
works. No doubt every farmer In
this section now wishes that he hud
planted more wheat last fail, even If
he bad taken a little precious cotton
ground to put it In. It will be well to
remember this next full, and to bear
in mind the advice and experience of
Judge Hardaway, given in this let
ter.
In addition to the considerations
mentioned by Judge Hardaway, we
may say that a wheat crop interferes
very little, if at all, with either the
cotton or the corn crop, and may be
regarded as a clear gain or saving to
the farm. Wheat is not so liable to
bo stolen as either cotton or corn,
and it baa never, for many years,
brought so low a price in this soctlon
as to make Its cultivation less profi
table than cotton.
The following Is Judge Hardaway’s
oommunloatlon.
Ed. Thomasville Times- From per
sonal Inspection and from the reports
I hear from many parts of the coun
try, the little wheat patches will
make a good ylold. What a great
pity more wheat was not sown last
full and winter! I notice No. 2 wheat
is worth $2.10 per bushel in Cincin
nati; and in New York, Southern
flour Is worth slo.soper barrel. These
are oargo prices. In Thomasville, the
best flour is worth sl2 per barrel.
This is a wrotchod commentary on
cotton planting. To-day the best
cotton is worth hero 81 cents, and It
takes a bale of cotton grown upon
three acres, to pay for throe barrels
of flour, that can be grown upon two
aores of tho same land without ma
nure, and if manured, five barrels of
flour can be made on one acre. Mr.
M. M. Futch has one acre of wheat
that will make five barrels of flour,
and there are a number of one acre
patches that will make three barrels
of flour.—From the present look of
the war troubles, ,it will be hard
times with cotton trade, and prices
may reach seven cents for the best
grade of cotton, while (if It should
be a bad, rainy nicking sea
son,) the poor grades may not
bring over five oents, making the
average price of six cents; and tak
ing the average of three acres, to
make one halo cotton, of five hun
dred pounds, worth thirty dollars,
when the same three acres, planted
In wheat, would certainly produce
four barrels and possibly six barrels
of flout and would be worth at pres
ent prices, iifty to seventy dollars.
But planters say, cotton is the only
produce that will bring money while
at the same time, they are paying
money out of their pockets for
flour. I call this bad Judgment
to say the least of it. There is an
nually sent out of Thomas county,
from one huudred to one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, for flour.
But the greatest plea is, that wheat.
Is an uncertain crop, and liable to
rust.—Colton, Is also uncertain and
liable to the same disaster. Fifteen
years ago the same cry was made
against the oat crop, but by constant
perseverance, and saving seed from
oxtra flue and sound heads, we have
to-day, the best oats In the world,
and there are more oats made In
Thrmuu county, than In any
county in the United States. It
we will take the same pains in select
ing the best heads of wheat, and take
tbe additional trouble to prepare the
land and fertilize it, wheat will be
come as certain a crop as oats, oorn
or cotton. We overlook the matter
that there is at times a failure in all
crops; and simply because of a fail
ure one year to raise good wheat, we
should not be discouraged from
planting it again, just as certainly as
we plant corn and cotton. This
persistent selecting of seed and
planting will just as surely
get us a porfeotiy reliable wheat,
as it gave us our celebrated Rust
Proof oats. If other counties in the
wheat growing sections, were to re
fuse to plant it because of a failure
or a succession of failures for several
years, flour would become as scaroe
a farm product, in tho North and
West, as it is in Southern Georgia,
and would sell for fabulous prices,
and would bo consumed only by the
wealthy families-
I have been trying tbe past three
years to raise wheat, and my sucoess
has been as good as it is in Middle
and Northern Georgia, and by con
stant perseverance, I think I now
have succeeded in getting a Rust
Proof Wheat. The large amount of
money sent out of this county an
nually for flour, wilt make a vast dif
ference in the means to pay planters
out of debt, and will add that much
to their wealth, independence and
comfort. Now that the season to cut
wheat is nearly at hand, our planters
ought to be making arrangements to
procure the very best seeds to plant
the coming September, October, No
vember and December. Let us try
to make our flour at home.
Respectfully,
R. H. Hardaway.

Editor Times: Permit me to express
myself as thoroughly grateful for the
appreciation shown by my anony
mous friend in suggesting through
your paper, my name as a suitable
candidate to represent the people of
this oonnty In the Constitutional
Conventfon. I thank you for your
most eordial endorsement of that
suggestion. There are many aspi
rants who are already announced,
and who are better fitted to frame a
Constitution than myself. I adhere
to my previously expressed opinion
that It Is proper that others, as well
as men engaged in the legal profes
sion, should be members of the Con
vention. But, appreciating the fact
that there are among those suggest
ed, men more capable than myself,
I request my too partial friond to
withdraw my name.
Respectfully yours,
Rranciß Fontaine.
The events of the war so far are
confirmatory of the opinion expressed
by the eminent German leader, Von
Mettke, that the Turks will fight
stubbornly and effectively in en
trenchments. but are no match for
the Buseians in the open field.
Fighting the GRAssHoprsßs.-The
Missouri Legislature has passed a
law by which all able-bodied male
persons between twelve and sixty
years of age are to be drafted for two
days in each week during the spring
months of the year to fight grass
hoppers.
■EAMNS FOR A CONVENTION
Editor Times .-—ln a former commu
nication, I argued, that the Constitu
tion of 1868 was the offspring of usur
pation, that it was framed subject to
the approval of Congress and not the
people, and that the tenure of office
and the appointing power of the
Governor under it, tended to create
a privileged class of office-holders.
I insisted that all power, In a free
government, la inherent in the peo
ple, Is founded on their authority
and instituted for their benefit.
The logical deduction was that
their right to change their form of
government to suit themselves Is In
alienable and indefeasible. I sug
gested this as a propitious time for
the people through representatives
chosen by themselves to meet In Con
vention and restore the fundamental
principles of liberty. I would have
this done In no captious or vengeful
spirit, but for the good of every in
habitant of the State.
The views I expressed I thought
clearly demaaded a Convention, be
sides numerous others which I con
sider of minor Importance, yet suffi
cient in themselves to authorize the
call; to which I will now direct your
attention.
Under our present Constitution, I
submit, it is Impossible for any Gov
ernor or law-maker to prevent
inconsiderate, extravagant and
sometimes reokless legislation. We
have seen Its effects under the
ooriupt rule of Bullock, who well
nigh bankrupted the State, and par
alyzed all industries. At a time, too,
when universal impoverishment
should have forbidden, tho imposi
tion of every unnecessary burden.
Our present excellent Governor
has unfurled the banner of retrench
ment and reform to the breeze, and
inscribed upon its folds "economy:’
but without proper organlo law to
support him, it will be seen that each
successive Legislature will capture
his standard, and use it to grace the
triumph of extravagance.
We then suggest some reforms that
are needed ; I shall not be obstinate
in their support, but merely suggest,
and after full and free discussion, If
It is thought best to modify or change
these suggestions, so mote It be.
Discussion has already done much
good—it always does good In a Re
publican Government, where the
people are the masters, and must be
enlightened in order to select proper
servants.
“Speech ventilates the intellectual lira,
Burnishes the mental magazine.
Prepares for ornament and whets for use.”
I suggest then biennial sessions,
and a reduction of the House and an
increase of the Senate, having regard
to representation according to popu
lation in both branches.
Fix tbe pay of members at four,
or at most five dollars a day, and ten
cents per mile mileage. Limit tbe
number of clerks and attaches of the
Legislature and State House, and fix
the pay of each and all in the Con
stitution. You thus save at least one
hundred thousand dollars every two
years in per diem, service, &c., and
more than this, save from ten to
twenty days each session, at a cost of
near $3,000 a day spent in disoussing
this per diem and these services.
Limit tbe sessions of the General
Assembly to fifty days, and prohibit
its extension beyond that. (I think
thirty days enough under the
ohanges herein suggested.) Fix a
maximum, and then let out the pub
lic printing to the highest bidder.
Provide that no bill shall become
a law, unless it has been referred to a
commute in the Senate, and the
House, and is read at length on its
final passage, and that then the vote
vote thereon shall be taken by yeas
and nays, and entered on the jour
nal for the information of the people.
This will prevent inoonsiderate and
hasty legislation. Some States make
lobbying to secure the support of
members on any question a criminal
offense.
Provide that the General Assem
bly shall pass general laws, under
whioh local and private interest shall
be provided for and protected; and
then prohibit it from passing any
laws, except of a public and general
character. Prohibit local and special
laws for the benefit of individuals or
corporations. There were about
nine hundred bills introduoed in our
last Legislature, and only about sixty
of general Interest. Thence the
printing, length of the session, clerk
hire and hasty legislation.
Let the Convention discuss the
question fully, whether the State
shall ever again engage in works of
internal improvement—or lend any
money, or its credit, la aid of such;
whether it shall hereafter be inter
ested in any private or corporate
enterprise—or lend money, or its
eredit, to any individual, association,
or corporation. I think that a State
should no more run a railroad, bank,
or canal, than it should a farm, or tin
shop. Private enterprise, protected
by good laws, equalizing and lessen
ing taxation, is always more saga
cious and economical than public
supervision.
Should the General Assembly have
any power to authorize any county,
city, town, or other subdivision of
this State, to lend its credit, or to
grant public money, or thing of value,
In aid of or to any individual associ
ation or corporation whatsoever; or
to become a stockholder in any such
corporation, association, or company,
by issuing bonds or otherwise ?
These are questions requiring
statesmanship ; and a prohibition
altogether, or a radical change, is
demanded. The Qovernor should
require information in writing, under
oath, from the officers of the Execu
tive Department, oh any subject re
lating to the duties of their respective
offices ; and at any time require
information in writing, under oath,
from all offioers and managers of
State institutions as to management
and expenses; and any officer who
makes a false report,, should be guilty
of perjury.
The Comptroller, State Treasurer
and Secretary of State should not re
ceive to their use any fees, costs, per
quisites of office or compensation
other than their salaries as prescrib
ed by law; and all fees that may be
payable by law for any service per
formed by either of said offioere
should be paid in advance into the
State Treasury.
The Judicial Circuits of the State
should be reduced to fourteen, and
tbe State divided Into four divisions,
and tbe Superior Court Judges rotate
in holding courts In tbelr respective
divisions.
The property of private corpora
tions, associations and Individuals of
tbisßtate should be taxed at the
same rate; excepting Institutions or
enterprises devoted exclusively to
religious, educational, or charitable
purposes. A limit should be fixed to
taxation, State, oounty and munici
pal, and give the people time to “on
load, ” and to carry a less weight
while these distressing times last.
Salaries of all officers should be re
duced 25 per cent.
A system of public schools should
be established, organized and main
tained throughout the State for the
benefit of all children between the
ages of seven and twenty-one years;
separate schools for white or oolored.
All funds arising from any source for
school purposes should be preserved
inviolate and undiminished and tbe
income arisiog therefrom be faith
fully applied. Asa continual reve
nue to this school fund a poll tax of
not more than one dollar and a half
should be levied in each coun
ty, and collected with other taxes.
The tax collector of each county
should be required to i>ay over this
fund directly to Board a of Trus
tees, chosen by such county to re
ceive the taxes of the county in which
it Is levied and collected. Not more
than 3 per cent, of all moneys raised
or at any time appropriated should
be used or expended, except for pay
ment of teachers employed in the
public schools. One-third or one
fourth of our school fund under our
present system is taken up in fees
and charges by officials before it gets
to the teachers. Each oounty mana
ging Its own fund under its own trus
tees would see that all paid tbe
tax and that It was properly applied.
A liberal homestead should be al
lowed, fixed, permanent and certain.
Imprisonment for debt Is a relic of
barbarism, and of course should be
prohibited.
The woman’s law, in reduced in the
Legislature of 1866 by a Democratic
Senator, now of our county, and ad
vocated in tho House by the writer
with all his zeal, Bhould be retained
in our Constitution.
No educational or property qualifi
cation for suffrage or office, nor any
restraint on the same on aocouut of
raoe, color or previous condition of
servitude, should be made by law.
No person convicted of a crime in
volving moral turpitude should be al
lowed to vote or hold offioe, unless
pardoned by the Governor.
There are many other wholesome
reforms that might be named, but
tbis article is already too long.
We should return and use tbe foun
dation on which our fathers “built
their house,” and in rebuilding, add
whatever improvements an advanc
ing civilization and our changed
oondltion requires.
The Jews were seventy years in
oaptlvity—we have not been so long.
Their maidens and matrons eat by
tbe waters of Babylon and wept and
sang the songs of Zion. Nehemiab
got permission to rebuild their
temple, and collected them there for
the purpose. They went bravely to
work under his direction, “each man
opposite his own house,” with the
sword in one hand and the trowel in
the other; they first repaired the
walls, and then they built a second
temple more magnificent than the
first. Let us imitate them. Let
each man go to work opposite his
own house and elect good men, aDd
build a wall of popular favor around
them to eDcouragethem iu gathering
up the broken fragments of our old
Constitution, and in adding any new
designs they see fit, and in rebuild
ing anew Constitution more com
plete, durable and magnificent than
the first. J. M. Russell.
The Montgomery Advertiser states
that W. V. Turner, a noted negro
politician of Alabama, has got a good
clerical office in one of the Depart
ments at Washington, and that it is
reported that Rapier, another colored
politician of that State, will get a
consulship or something of that
sort.
There is no doubt that the present
Administration Is doing more for the
negroes, practically, than Grant’s,
with all the professions of the latter.
Douglass, Rapier and Turner would
have been encouraged and stimula
ted to “wave the bloody shirt” with
unofficial hands, by tbe Grant ad
ministration ; but Hayes teiis them
to furl the incendiary ray, and gives
them other work ana better pay.
A fuller explanation of the differ
ences between the Turkish Govern
ment and Chamber is given by a Con
stantinople dispatch as follows:
The Chamber Is very angry at the
Porte’s acceptance of the German
protectorate over Russian subjects in
Turkey. It also desires to impeach
Noury Pasha, tbe Sultan’s brother
in-law, for embezzlement, aDd Red iff
Pasha, the War Minister, for mal
administration. Rediff, who is all
powerful, is determined to crush Par
liament before it oan harm him. The
Porte wanted to proclaim a state of
siege in Constantinople, so as to close
Parliament, but It is now satisfied it
oan close Parliament without resort
to such measures. There is reason
to fear that Rediff Pasha and the
other enemies of free government
will triumph.
