The primary election held in Bibb
county, on Saturday, resulted in the
nomination ot W. H. Roes, W. A.
Lofton and T. J. Simmons ns candi
dates for the Constitutional Conven
tion.
The people of New Orleans voted
on Friday on the question of impos
ing a tax upon property in the citv
for the aid of the Now Orleans Pacific
Railroad. The proposition was de
feated by a vote of 0,478 yeas to
11,967 nays.
The Cedar Keys (Fla.) Journal
learns that two white men and a
negro were killed at Brooksvilie, last,
week, in a fight growing out of an
attack made by the whites upon the
negro for marring a white woman of
bad character.
In central Georgia the annual av
erage cost per bead of keeping sheep
is fifty-four cents; average cost of
raising a pound of wool, six cents.—
Ere,
That would require nine pounds or
wool to the sheep. We doubt wheth
er so much could be sheared, but the
economy of raising more wool and
less cotton in Georgia is indisputa
ble.
The convention of the Ist Senatori
al district, embracing the counties of
Chatham, Effingham and Bryan, mot
at Eden on the Central Railroad, on
Saturday, and nominated the follow
ing ticket for delegates to the Con
stitutional Convention:
From Chatham—A. R. Lawton, W.
T. Thompson, John Screven, J. L.
Warren, j. M. Guerard and Warring
Russell.
From Effingham—J. 11. Keller.
From Bryan—A. G. Smith.
At a meeting of the bondholders of
the city of Savannah, held in New
York on Friday, a proposition that
the bondholders accept eighty cents
on the dollar was carried, too vote
being eight, to three. This action Is
not considered as binding, except on
those acceding to It, but is regarded
as the initiative for further action by
the bondholders. The debt of the
city was stated by the Mayor of Sa
vannah, who attended the meeting,
at $4,l& r >,ooo.
Hon. John Young Brown denies in
the most emphatic manner that he
was a party to, or had any knowl
edge of, any negotiations lookiug to
the election of a Republican Speaker
by Southern Democratic votes. This
ought to dispose of all tho charges
on that subject that have been made
within the last few weeks, as Brown
was more distinctly referred to than
any one elso as a party cont meting.
New York j>apers note the engage
ment of the following English vessels
to take cotton from that port for
Reval and St. Petersburg, Russia:
Mahharajoh 4,300 bales, Arch Druid
4,000 bales, Royal Minatree 3,800
bales. The Russian demand for cot
ton has been stimulated by the war,
as is shown by the increased exports
for that country from both New York
and Liverpool. And yet speculators
used tho war as a pretext for depres
sing the price of cotton.
The Atlanta Constitution learns
from a reliable source that the case
of the State against Rufus B, Bullock
will bo called for trial by Attorney
General Ely on the first Monday iu
June. The charges against him re
late to his dealings with the “Ten
nessee Car Company,” and to his
turning over $130,000 of Atlanta
bonds to H. I. Kimball before the
conditions prescribed bad been com
plied with- The Constitution learns
that Bullock will attend, but will ask
a continuance.
The Mobile Register says that the
appointment of Mr. R. T. Smith as
Collector for the port of Mobile can
be attributed only to his antagonism
to Spencer. It says that tho Smiths
(R. T. is a brother to the Ex-Govern
or? hate Spencer like a rattlesnake—
think him a fraud and little better
than a thief. Ex-Governor Smith,
Sam Rice and other anti-Spencer Re
publican leaders were in Washington
when tho appointment was made,
no doubt influenced it. We hope that
the appointment of Mr, Smith does
really signify tho suubbing of
Spencer, who so long had the conil
denoe of Grant and dictated the se
lection of Federal officials for Alaba
ba. Repudiated now both at home
and Washington, the best thing that
Spencer can do is to “resign” his bo
gus Senatorship.
The letter to Hon, Win. D. Kelley,
which we copy to-day, presents an
issue which the Hayes administra
tion and the coming Congress will
have to meet. Judge Kelely fully
agrees with the writer of the letter,
and will vigorously push tho finan
cial policy which it indicates. With
out enlarging upon the joints pre
sented, we may make these two
propositions, which we believe to be
almost unquestionable:
Ist. That the greenback currency
would at once advance to par with
gold if tho Government would receive
it for customs duties.
2d. That all the statutes which
Congress may pass cannot bring the
currency up to par so long as the
Government refuses to receive it for
$200,000,000 of taxes annually collect
ed. So long as this immense sum is
required to be paid in a particular
currency, the requirement must
cause a demand that will give it a
value above that of money rejected
for this purpose.
WA H NOTE'S.
Whatever may be the policy of
Russia in the prosecution of the wur
in Europe, it is now very evident that
she Intends to push It vigorously in
Asia. Nearly all the reports of fights
in that region claim victories for the
Turks, but it is notioeablo that the
Russians still push forward their ad
vance. The Turks may have made
gallaut and successful defences in
their entrenched positions, but they
have not yet met the Russians in the
open field or arrested their march.
Wo now hear of Mukhtar Pasha re
porting that the enemy are Hanking
him, and that ho cannot hold them
in chock without reinforcements.
We also hear that the Russians are
moving to get possession of the river
Arras, or the Euphra es. Perhaps
the dispatch should have said the Ti
gris instead of the Arras, as we think
that the Russians already have full
possession of the latter, which emp
ties iuto the Caspian sea. Besides,
there could hardly be a doubt as to
whether their movements were direct
ed to the Awas, running east, or the
Euphrates, while the Tigris and the
Euphrates both run south and nearly
parallel and empty into the Persian
Gulf. One of the objects which the
reputed will of Peter the Great Im
pressed upon the Russian empire as
its never-to-be-abandoned policy was
the reaching of the Persian Gulf, and
it could not have chosen a more di
rect r’outo to that goal than by the
Euphrates or the Tigris.
It is more than probable, too, that
Itessia intends to push the Invasion
of Turkey in Europe. Her forces
sent to the Danube are too numerous,
and her preparations on too gigantic
a scale to favor the idea that sbo is
intending a mere feint. She may,
however, wish to delay the crossing
of the Danube in force until she
makes sure ot satisfactory progress
in Asia. No European power, except
England, is apt to become alarmed
at her advauce in Asia, particularly
if not directed towards Constantino
ple or the Mediterranean, while Aus
tria as well as England might
be antagonized by too bold
an advance in Europe. And Russia
can hardly count on any more
favorable time to isolate Eng
land as a European power while her
Asiatic possessions are menaced,
..than tho present—the other powers
checkmating each other by their
jealousies.
Tho daring exploit wit h torpedoes
on tho Danube would indicate that
the advantages on that river which
their iron-dads give to the Turks
may be neutralized. It is apt to
make them very cautious in running
the river, as they cannot tell where
the Russians may have torpedoes
sunk, and their terribly destructive
power has been sufficiently demon
strated. We have little doubt that by
sinking torpedoes so as to keep a
section of the river free from the
Turkish monitors, the Russians can
at any time cross in force, and that
when they do so they will repeat in
Europe the plan of alterations which
they aro now carrying out in Asia.
A Murder In Houston, Texan.
Special to tho Nashville American.
Houston, Texas, May 20.—Dr. J.
W. Brown was killed here Friday
night by a man named Grissom. He
was visiting the State fair, uud while
at supper at his hotel, Grissom sat
down at the same table and ordered
his supper served in a hurry. The
waiter replied that ho was waiting on
Dr. Brown, but would get his supper
in a minute. Grissom replied: “I
am a gentleman and if any man says
I am not, I’ll make him feel tills.”
Brown answered ; ‘‘No one says you
are not a gentleman.” Grissom re
peated his former words, when
Brown said. “Oh, hush.” Grissom
sprang up, drawing his revolver. Dr.
Brown started up. too, raising both
bands. Grissom fired at, missing,
tired the second time, shooting
Brown through the heart. Grissom
then walked out to the hotel office,
bought a cigar and smoking, kept
the crowd away with his pistol until
an officer came, to whom ho surren
dered. lie is now in jail, bail being
denied. There are movements on
foot to hang him to-night by a mob.
Brown was a citizen of Columbus.
Texas, and bis murder has
greatly incensed every one.
A crowd of his friends having
arrived iu tho city to-night,
it is believed they will attempt to
hang Grissom. Grissom is a stranger
here. He claims that Brown was
drawing a Derringer on him when he
shot him, but Brown had no weapon
on his body. This is the substance
of the facts before the coroner.

AN APPLICANT FOR A JCDOKBHIP.
Special to N. O, Democrat.)
Washington, May 25.—The Newport
Sun having animadvereW severly the
other di\y on the report that Gen. Gideon
J. I'illow was to be appointed Circuit
Judge, vice Emmons, deceased, the gen
eral is out to-day in a card, in which he
avows that he always has been a Demo
crat, voted for Tilden, and is a Democrat
still. Hesays that if an appointment is
tendered him, he will accept it iu a non
partisan manner. He repudiates the
Sun’s charge tuat he had promised to
bring any Southern support to the Ad
ministration in return for appointments,
and then says; “When President Hayes
was inaugurated 1 felt that it was a mis
fortune for the South and the country.
I did not personally know him until with
in the past few days. I did not desire to
know him, until by his official acts, he
showed that he had clear views of the
Federal constitution Rnd of the rights of
the States, and that he possessed firmness
enough to carry them out and to protect
the Slates front Federal enrnnehment. I
have applied for the judgeship made va
cant by the death Of the late distinguish
ed Judge Emmons. I may not be worthy
the place, and I may not (if appointed)
bring to the position tho talents or pro
fessional learning of Judge Emntons. 1
have, however, neither promise nor en
couragement that I will receive the ap
pointment. If it were conferred upon
me I would discharge the duties of the
high trust with an eye single to
the interests of the country, and
without leavinga stain upon the ermine
of the judiciary.’’

Washington special to Cincinnati
Gazette: “Tho President intimated
to Gov. Young the probability that
an executfve order might soon be
issued forbidding Government officers
from participating in politics, except
to exercise their constitutional right
to vote.”
SR. TUA.W.neiX’M kkti.t to major
MOKM.
To the Editor of the Times: The
very clever argument of Maj. Moses
to prove tho utter unworthiness of
our present Constitution and the ne
cessity of anew one should not be
permitted to pass unchallenged. It
did not seem to me an üble argu
ment. Can one imagine an able ef
fort to provo that Mont Blanc is not
a grand object, or that St. Peter’s Is
n unworthy piece of architecture?
No more cun there bo au able argu
ment to prove the unworthluess
of this Constitution, which the more
one examines it the cleurer he be
comes that it Is an exceptionally fine
product of the genius of politics. I
proeed to the argument.
Maj. Moses thinks we ought to have
a Convention if oply to abolish the
following section of tho Bill of
Rights: “The State of Georgia shall
ever remain a member of the Ameri
can Union; the people thereof are a
part of tho American Nation, &c.
And no law or ordinance ofthiaState,
in contravention thereof, shall ever
have any biudiug force.” Ought
it to be abolished? Is it not rather
a wise and safe provision? I know
there is no immediate danger of the
people suffering themselves driven
or led luto another nullification or
secession agitation. They have
“short memories” truly; but not so
short as to have forgotten that fear-
Tul betrayal of ’6l, in which the poli
tioiuns first led and theu drove them
to poverty and death.
We can judge the future beat by
the past, and in the light of that ex-
I>erience it will be difficult to con
vince the people that this peace-an
chor should be thrown away. This
solemn call of Maj. Moses to the old
spirit of secession, buried deep
enough one would think beneath the
flood of revolution, a call in which
he does not seem to doubt his suc
cess, reminds one of a similar sup
posible feat of old Owen of Glen
dower: "I can call spirits from the
vasty deep,” exclaims the potent
Soot. “Yes, my Lord, and so can I;
or so can any ot her man ; but will they
come when you do call for them?”
answers Hotspur. It does not ap
pear, however, that the valiant Earl
committed the folly of actually call
ing, which is more than can bo said
for Major Moses. But suppose this
section of the Constitution was abol
ished, what then? The repeal would
not restore us any rights we may
have lost by accepting it. For the
plain reason that that wa9 one of the
conditions tinder which the State
was admitted back into the Union.
The peoplo, in Convention, it is said,
can do anything. Nonsence! If the
State should now pass an ordinance
repealing the one iu question, one of
the vital conditions upon which the
State was admitted back into the
Union, it does not require a lawyer
to see that it would not be worth the
paper it was written on. If you sim
ply want to indulge a little spite, to
make a mouth at the Federal Govern
ment, you had better stay at home
and make twenty times as many
mouths us you could in the Conven
tion ; all the candidates then could
make their mouths on their own
book.
Major Moses thinks we ought to
have a Convention to abolish the
following section of the Constitu
tion :
“Treason against the State of Geor
gia shall consist ouly in levying war
against the State, or the United
States, or adhering to the enemies
thereof, giving them aid and com
fort.”
This clause, says he, is a standing
insult not only to the bravo men who
fell in the Confederate cause, but to
every gentle and loving woman who
ministered unto them, giving them
aid and comfort. And he works him
self up into a fine frenzy, and calls
upon the people to rise up and tear
this foul blot from their orgauic law.
Nouo would be quicker than myself,
permit me to say, to resent any iusult
to the bravo men who died in the
Confederate cause, or the noble wo
men who devoted themselves to that
cause and enriohed it with a loyalty
and love unsurpassed since tho world
began. Major Moses says that this
clause had a reference to the past as
well as to the future. I admit it.
He says it was meant to cast a stig
ma. I deny it, and maintain that he
has perverted—ignorantly and in the
blindness of zeal, let us hope—a
really fine action, whioh was prompt
ed by a generous impulse. The old
law had made treason to be the levy
ing war against the State, or adher
ing to the enemies thereof, &c., and
said nothing about the United States.
Now, if the Convention had meant to
cast a stigma upon the Confederate
cause, as Major Moses eays, they
would simply have said : The old law
was sufficient; they committed trea
son before when they seceded and
levied war against the United States;
if they do so again, it will be treason
again; let the law stand as it is.
But they did not say so. On the con
trary they said, in effect, that it was
not treason before; under this old
law it would not be treason again ;
therefore let us make anew law.
Thus it was that this clause in the
Constitution was intended to have a
backward as well as a forward sig
nificance. It was a sentiment whose
magnanimity can only find its anti
pode iu the parvanimity of its wilful
perversion.
The present Constitution declares
that every citizen of Georgia owes
paramount allegiance to the “Consti
tution and Government of the United
States.” Maj. Moses says that all
our Old constitutions bad declared
tho supreme law to be “the Constitu
tion of the United States and the laws
of the United States in pursuance
thereof,” and wants to know why the
words were left out of this. Now,
Maj. Moses knows well enough that
these identical words are in this Con
stitution-Art. xi„ sec. I—just as they
were in all the old ones. Maj. Moses
must then have meant to ask why
the necessity of these other words,
which occur in a different part of the
Instrument. The purpose of this
clause is, to deny to the State tho
right to declare a law of the United
S'ates unconstitutional, and to nul
lify it, Instead of leaving It to the
proper tribunal—the Supreme Court
of the United States. In a word, it
meant to put an extinguisher upon
the old atul mischievous doctrine of
nullification. And If any one thinks
it a bad law, so much the worse for
him—for I urn suro the people hold
it to be un emiuently wise und good
one.
Maj. Moses objects to our present
Constitution, because it gives the
right of private way over the laud of
another, simply upon the paymern
by the applicant of just compensa
tion. Not at all. The Constitution
simply says "private ways may be
granted, &o.” And then the statute
comes along and says, how it is to be
done, namely, by petition to the
Ordinary, notifying all parties inter
ested, and investigating the whole
matter of the right and justice of the
application. And if either party is
dissatisfied he may carry the case to
the Superior Court. What reasona
ble objection can be made to this
method?
Maj. Moses complains that our
Constitution does not prohibit the
enactment of “laws imparing the
obligation of contracts, and ex post
facto laws.” He admits that the
clause in relation to contracts was
immaterial, because the passage of
such is prohibited by the Constitu
tion of the United States. But he
insists that it should have been put
down plainly In our Constitution
that the Legislature should pass no
ex post facto law. Why will the dis
tinguished advocateskip in thisstyle?
Does he not know that in the same
section (sec. x) and same sentence of
the Constitution of the United States
which prohibits the States from
making laws impairing the obliga
tion of contracts, “they are also pro
hibited from passing ex post facto
laws?”
Maj. Moses displays his utmost
clearness iu his attack upon the
Homestead. If it be any praiss to
say that it was really a most skillful
effort at “making the worse appear
the better cause,” then I freely ac
cord it.
It is to the credit of Maj. Moses
that he does not characterize the
Homestead us a premium upon
fraud, or impute dishonesty to the
worthy men whom the modern high
waymen have forced to accept its
protection. Ho knows well enough
that tho very men who berate the
farmers who work so hard and get
robbed of so much and enjoy so lit
tle—the bankers and provision mer
chants who bavo reduced them to
beggary, forced them to protect their
families with the Homestead, and
accused them of dishonesty, are
themselves given to making “assign
ments,” “deeds of trust,” and other
contrivances to protect their families
against “accidents”in theenjoyment
of property which in many cases
they have wrongfully obtained from
these very farmers. Maj. Moses at
tacks the efficiency of the Homestead
for the purpose of its creation, un
der the decision of the courts. He
says that under a decree of the Uni
ted States District Court the “re
mainder interest” after the life es
tate in the Homestead can be sold
for the benefit, of creditors. Now the
decision of Judge Bradley, rendered
only a few days after the publication
of Maj. Moses paper, disposes of this
objection so far as the United States
Courts are concerned. I am aware
that this was not the main point of
Judge Bradley’s decision; but
it was incidentally made suf
ficiently clear that the bankrupt
Held the property set apart
under the State law free from all
claims and liens of creditors, wheth
er proven or not, and that ail such
liens, &c., were, so far as concerns
the United States Courts, blotted
out, and made as if they had never
existed. And this is the viral
principle of the whole Bankrupt
Law. As to what our State Supreme
Court might do, Judge Bradley, with
an eye upon its zizzag course in the
past, was frankly dubious. Maj.
Mose3 says our Supreme Court will
certainly decide that the estate set
apart under the Homestead is only a
life estate. I don’t know wiiat they
will do. I think the people, howev
er, would not be surprised at any
thing they might do—unless it was
something good. The sentiment of
a large portion of the people is that
our Supreme Court is a disastrous
failure; that, for the past seven or
eight years at least, it has existed
only for evil. I heard this sentiment
avowed not many days ago by a ven
erable and distinguished man who
had much to do with the creation of
this Court. Whenever the Legisla
ture or a Convention has given the
people bread the Supreme Court,
like a genius of evil, has been there
to smite it into stone. Dues not
Maj. Moses agree? But I hardly thiDk
they will go the leogth suggested by
Maj. Moses,and decide that the Home
stead only gives a life estate, when
every man woman and child, white,
black aud Indian, in the State, and
out, of it, knows that the Convention
of’6B did not so intend. Why all the
Homesteads that have been set apart
have been set apart in fee simple,
and iT the beneficiaries have only a
life estate, they have not the amount
allowed, because the life estate in
the land set apart at two thousand
dollars might not be worth more
than one. But sufficient unto the
day, &c. If the Supreme Court com
mits this infamy, the people will
send men to the Legislature who will
know how to get rid of them.
Thanking you for the space you
have so kindly allowed me,
I remain, respectfully,
