We learn from the Register that the
corporators of the Mobile Cotton Factory
have decided not to wait until the SIOO,OOO
of stock is taken, hut to go ahead upon a
capital stock of SOO,OOO, nearly all of
which is now subscribed. Having reach
ed the point of success they confidently
expect to secure the larger capital at an
early day.
The Savannah Newn tliinka that
Geu. Darlington's letter sets forth
the whole ‘‘Bonanza Fee” case very
clearly and distinctly (we think there
is still something to bo explained),
and says: “From it it appears thrt the
Governor has acted in this matter
strictly ln.tho line of duty and from
purely honest and conscientious mo
tives, and we simply desire to set
his conduct right In the eyes of the
public.”
How can men bo “disorganizurs”
for favoring new candidates for the
Convention, if there is no organim
tio/i in support of a ticket already In
the ftqliJ? And the gentlemen com
posing that ticket distinctly deny
that there is any such organization,
or any obligation whatever upon uny
one (except the three gentlemen
bound by their agreement) to sup
port them or .oppose the bringingout
of auy one else. Newspaper writers
obgbt to understand the terms they
use.
A ci.ub of lady journalists, whose
object is to encourage and promote
journalism among ladies, has been
established at Chicago. For the
lighter work of journalism many
ladies are no doubt well qualified.
But we imagine that one of them
who should undertake the general
management of a daily paper, work
ing from early morning until mid
night, would include the club with
the others which are such a vexation
to her sex.
Hon. Sam Randall, in a recent let
ter, says that “the war stimulated the
manufacturing facilities of the North
enormously.” In like manner it
stimulated manufacturing enter
prises in the South. But unfortu
nately the people of the South aban
doned theso new industries when the
war was over, renewed their undi
vided allegiance to “King Cotton,”
and thus deviated from the road to
prosperity in which they had made a
start. By a diversity of industry, like
that of the North, ours can be made
the most prosperous section of the
Union.
It is announced in a Republican
coutemporary that one of the most
prominent Democratic journalists in
Georgia has established a paper at
Atlanta for the express purpose of
supporting the Southern policy of
President Hayes. Is there any in
formation of auy prominent Republi
can journalist doing any' thing of
that sort?— Cincin. Enquirer.
None whatever. The only new
paper established in Atlanta this
year is an out-and-out Republican
journal, by a mnu who has been a
Radical from the early days of “re
construction” to tho present time.
And his pai>er is only a weekly.
The act of the Legislature calling
the Constitutional Convention ex
pressly requires that the Constitu
tion adopted by it should be submit
ted to the people for ratification.
Can the “sovereignty” of the Con
vention justify it in disregarding this
requirement any more than any
other requirement of the act can be
disregarded? When a mode and
manner of superseding the existing
constitution is prescribed, must not
that mode and manner be observed
before it can be legally superseded?
We think so unquestionably, and
therefore regard as of no force what
ever the suggestion that the Conven
tion may not submit its constitution
to the people for ratification or re
jection.
A CinOWINU EVIL.
Not only does the scramble for
office increase every year, but the
embarrassments of appointing offi
cials become greater. No President
before him was ever so botberod
about this matter as Mr. Hayes.
Soma parties from a number of
States have been “dancing attend
ance" at Washington for three
months, and still they aro expect
ants, more or less hopeful. The
difficulties about the appointments
of Marshals for Georgia and Louisi
ana are only samples of the troubles
encountered. These persistent per
sonal contests for office—involving
as they do all sorts of scandalous
charges against rival aspirants —are
a disgrace to the country. They re
veal the fact that we have a very
large class of professional politicians,
who think that the chief end of gov
ernment is to give office to men like
themselves, and whose importunities
und contests do really engage most
of tho attention of Presidents and
Goverors. Tho poet did not have
this in view when he wrote “uneasy
lies the head that wears a crown,”
but if he had lived in this day he
would have found that the perplexi
ties and dangers to which he did re
fer were trifles compared with the
wild buQt for office.
There may be legitimate controver
sy as to the polities of the men whom
any administration ought to appoint
to office, and certainly each admin
istration is bound to give office only
to capable and honest men. But be
yond this no administration Is justly
censurable for its appointments.
Beyond this the selection is a mere
personal matter in which tho public
generally are not concerned. A pol
itician, in our judgment, only ren
ders himself ridiculous by “denounc
ing" and opposing an administration
of his party because it has not given
to himindividtally the office to which
he aspired, or which he solicited fora
friend. He may have some idea of
the merits of his own claim (whioh
he is not apt to under-estimate), but
he can hardly be fully apprised of
the merits of an opposing claim or
tho considerations which influence
the appointing power in favoring it.
If these propositions be correct, Ben
Butler is engaged in a rather child
ish business in parading as his heavi
est charge against Hayes the fact
that the President would notappoin 1
the young man whom he rucom
raonded as a West Point cadet. Old
Ben, by cutting up in this way, may
deprive himself of the rather ques
tionable glory of his boast that
many men had called him a knave,
but no one yet had called him a fool.
nncrriciiim hiame
Tho harsh repressive measures
against tho press and against politi
cal assemblages, adopted by the gov
ernment, afford the strongest evi
dence of tße alarmingly critical con
dition of France. They, indicate a
consciousness or approhenslon of its
own weakness by the government.
A republic which cannot stand free
discussion, and which resorts to such
measures to repress it us are now
used by the government of McMa
hon, is a despotism, and between it
and a liberal monarchy the prefer
osce of sensible men should bo with
the latter. We look for a violent
conflict of the factions, ns a conse
quence of such a policy, notwith
standing the dangers from without
which menace tho very independence
of France. If it could boa square
dual fight between Republi
cans and monarchists, perhaps
the result might be a firmer estab
lishment of a liberal republic. But
theso are not tho only factions in
Franco, and McMahon, while play
ing into tho hands of its opponents,
still professes loyalty to the repub
lic. It is therefore difficult to draw
party lines in such a manner as to
determine the paramount question
whether Franoo is to be a republio or
a monarchy, by the clearly expressed
preference of its people. Organiza
tion and combination, rather than
popular sentiment, will decido the
question in the present distracted
and divided state of France, aud the
nation will be happy indeed ir, dur
ing the conilicts of her factious,
Germany does not find her coveted
opportunity to further cripple her
power and perhaps despoil her of
territory. The situation is both
alarming and lamentable.
THE IIOV. JOHN PEABODY
The many friends of this gentle
man, who is supposed to be more
liberally inclined toward tho cause of
popular education than any of the
candidates for the Convention, regret
that he omitted to state his views
upon this subject in his letter pub
lished in the Enquirer.
Most of the important questions
were discussed in that letter; but
this one, which is confessedly one of
the most important in its relations
to the people at large, was not allu
ded to. Will Mr. Peabody, and the
other candidates, make their opin
ions known upon this question ?

To (he Voters of the Twenty-fonrth
Senatorial District.
A meeting of the Democratic party
of this county was called and held on
10th May, lOr the pur-pose of determin
ing whether a nomination of candidates
for the Convention should be made. The
meeting was not a full one—indeed,
comparatively few attended. Tho mat
ter of nomination was freely discussed,
and a majority decided that it was ad
visable to make no nominations, but to
leave an open field for all to run who
might desire to do so.
The meeting having thus determined,
each of us, together with four others—
Messrs. Blandford, Thornton, Pou and
Manley—voluntarily announced our
names as candidates, and for many days
all of our names appeared in the public
press as such.
In the meantime, the counties of Ma
rion and Chattahoochee had determined
to make nominations. There wero then
seven candidates in Muscogee (none nom
inated) and one (to lie; nominated candi
date in each of the counties of Marion
and Chattahoochee; and it was thought
that Muscogee county might elect the
entire delegation of five to which the
district was entitled from the latter
county. Many of tho people of the
counties of Marion and Chattahooclieo
made an earnest and friendly appeal to
the candidates in this county to adopt
some mode to induco four of the candi
dates from Muscogee to withdraw from
the canvass. We felt the full force of
that appeal and acted on it. Besides,
many of the citizens of this county sin
cerely expressed their regret that, thore
should be a scramble over the selection
of delegates in Muscogee to act in so im
portant a matter as altering the funda
mental law of the State. Many allusions
were marie conveying the idea that six
lawyers in Columbus were the occa
sion of all this unseemly and unprofit
able strife. We felt tire force of these
appeals and these remarks, and were
very to continue a personal
contest with our friends—all but one
members of our profession, and all our
personal, intimate friends—and we came
to tho conclusion that it was due to pub
lic sentiment, due to tire people of the
other comities, and due to ourselves,
that there should be no strife in this
matter. How, then, to accomplish the
desired result of reducing the number of
candidates? was the question. All could
not be elected. Four out of the seven
must 1)0 retired by some process. They
could do so voluntarily or on the advice
of friends. Accordingly, Messrs. Blaud
ford, Thornton, Manley and ourselves,
determined to relieve the country from
such unpleasant strife. We respectfully
requested Judge Pou to join us. He
declined and preferred to continue in
the race as it stood—which lie had a per
fect right to do. We could not accept
his proposition to have a primary elec
tion or nomination, for tho people in
meeting had decided to have no nomina
tion. Having so agreed, the six of us
uamed referred to eighteen gentlemen
selected by us the question of which
three of us should continue the race;
and acting under their advice, three of
the six candidates have declined to con
tinue in the race; they have done it in
good faith and solely for the sake of
harmony. The eighteen gentlemen se
lected to advise us in the matter are all
prominent and honorable men; they act
ed at our solicitation and also for the
sake of harmony. All of them have the
confidence of the community—engaged
in business here.
There was no concealment nor secrecy
about the matter. Ail that was done
was done openly, honestly and above
board. Thero was no dictation—no
nomination. Three gentlemen—honest,
worthy and highly capable—were advised
to decline to run; and they have honor
ably and cheerfully done so. The un
dersigned announced themselves origi
nally as candidates for your suffrage
without nomination, aud they stand on
the samo ground still. No human being
is bound by what these six candidates
did except themselves. The under
sigued, in this action, fairly and honestly
endeavored to preservo harmony among
ourselves; relieve tho voters of the dis
trict from controversy, strife and trou
ble; to do justice to the citizens of Ma
rion and Chattahoochee counties, and
relieve them from the apprehensions ex
pressed. And while there is no law to
compel the voters of this county to vote
for any person in either of those coun
ties, we believe there is a moral obliga
tion to carry out in good faith the under
standing that Muscogee should have
three delegates; the other counties one
each.
And here we leave this matter to your
fair and impartial judgment.
We have learned that many worthy
citizens have had fears that if anew
Constitution should be adopted, the
Homesteads already taken would fall
with it. Wo have lately examined the
question, and sow say that in our judg
ment, such is not the case. Home
steads taken are safe; neither the Legis
lature nor the Convention can take
them away.
Again, it has been suggested that the
Convention may meet and form a Con
stitution and refuse to submit it to the
people for ratification. Wo can hardly
imagine that there will be one member
elected to the Convention, who would
be bold and defiant enough to make
such an outrageous attempt, but should
such an one be found, we stand pledged,
if elected, to resist it to the bitter end.
We unhesitatingly say, that the Con
stitution, when adopted, should be sub
mitted to the people for ratification, and
that the Homestead should be also sub
mitted, so that one may vote for the
new Constitution and the new Home
stead, or for the Constitution and the
Homestead as it now exists.
In conclusion, we would say that in
our judgment a Convention can and will
make changes in our organic law which
will greatly enhance the prosperity of
the people; and while we would not
favor violent and undesirable changes—
interfere with no man's right of person
or property—we would, to the best of
our ability, inaugurate and sustain such
changes as would greatly reduce the
expenses of our State administration,
guard well the rights of rich and poor,
and establish an organic law for our
selves and our posterity under which we
may live and flourish.
We apjieal to you to come to the polls
on tho 12th of Juno, whether yon vote
for us or not.
Come to the polls, have a voice in this
matter, and- may all that is done re
dound to tho welfare and prosperity of
our lielovcd Btatc.
Very respectfully.
POKTEII IXOIIAM,

Columbus, Oa., June srh, 1977.
A C.tKH.
To the partial friends who have in
their call in this morning’s paper
done me so much honor—honor so
flattering and so much above my
deserts-I tender, in return, my
warm, heartfelt thanks. What the>
have said to me opens the door wide
for me to say to them in reply, that I
hold it us a sound principle which
time has tended to strengthen and
sanctify iu my bosom, that a man’s
duty to his country can know no
ending but with his life. No age ex
empts him whenever circumstances
exist under which the aged are need
ed and can be useful to her in posi
tions suitable to their years. Yet all
will admit that a time does come to
those who live long which frees
them from any obligation of scuf
fling and canvassing for positions iu
which to serve their country, unless,
indeed, in conjunctures so extraordi
nary as to overrule ordinary max
ims.
It was because, gentlemen, I felft
an yearning to serve Georgia in her
great work of relieving herself from
the burthen and ignominy misnam
ed a constitution, fastened upon her
in her helplessness nine years ago,
by military satraps, a tyrannical Rad
ical Congress and Northern carpet
baggers, combining with those in her
own bosom, who were worse than
dead to her honor and interests—it
was for this reason, I say that I uni
formly answered those who broached
the subject to me, (and at one period
it was not uufrequently broached,)
that I should feel it a duty and an
honor to stand as a candidate for the
Convention upon a regularly nomi
nated ticket if my fellow-citizens
should think proper to put forth one;
but that it suited not my age, my
habits or my ideas to engage in a
scramble for a seat in that body, and
that 1 should certainty not do
so. This is a position which
I feel confident that my
fellow-citizens will justify me in
having taken and in continuing to ad
here to. Indeed, I am bound by
consistency as well as by other Con
sidorati ons to adhere to it still, the
people h aviug expressly declined to
make any nominations. And I feel,
moreover, the more bound at this
late day to adhere to it, because the
Held is full of geutlemen as candi
dates whom I not only warmly es
teem as personal and political friends,
but whom I also regard as fully
worthy anti fitted for me important
office for which they are asking the
votes of their fellow-citizens.
Most respectfully,
your fellow-citizen,
A. 11. Chal’pell.

Hood, Dr. Stanford, L. G. Bowers,

AN EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT.
THE MACON AND BRUNSWICK RAILROAD
TO THE RESCUE OF THE STATE
TKEABUBY AGAIN.
We have the pleasure of stating, by
the authority of Gol. George Jones,
one of the Directors, that Hon. Goo.
W. Adams has been selected to fill
the position of Superintendent of the
Macou and Bruuswick Railroad, va
cated by the resignation of Captain
Juo. A.Grunt. Tnere were several oth
er able and experienced gentlemen,
seeking the appointment, among the
number Colonel W. J. Winn, of Lib
erty county, but we doubt if a better
officer thau Colouel Adams could
Have been found in the State. To
great sagacity and unblemished in
tegrity be unites large experience in
railroad matters, and uutiring indus
try. He will carry on the work with
zeal and ability, so successfully con
ducted by his worthy predecessor.
Again, too, is it our privilege to
announce that the Directors of the
M. &B.R. R. have paid ten thou
sand dollars more into the State
Treasury from the net earnings of
the road, over and above current ex
penses, making the handsome sum
of $25,000 within the past two
months.
Captain Grant retires, leaving the
track, bridges and rolling stock iu
apple-pie condition.
We trust this noble property will
yet prove of great value to the State.

The North Carolina papers are urg
ing with considerable emphasis that
some measures be taken to pay post
mortem honors to Professor Mitcnell,
ut one time President of the Univer
sity of North Carolina, who was the
first man to reaeh the summit and
measure the height of Mouut Mitch
ell, the highest point of land, with
perhaps one exception, east of the
Rooky Mountains. Mitchell lost his
life in his second or third ascent of
this peak, and when his remains
were discovered several weeks after,
in compliance with a request that he
had frequently made iu life,
they were borne to the sum
mit of this peak and there in
terred. This was twenty odd years
ago, and here the remains of the
intrepid scientist have been allowed
to remain ever siuee. Now, however,
an attempt is being made to
have them disiuterred and
brought down to some cemetery
where a showy monument eau be
erected over them. Such a scheme
may be gratifyiug to State pride, but
it will strike those who live away
from there straugely. The most im
posing monument and the most en
during that Mitchell could have was
that which he asked, and obtaiuea,
the noble peak rising to the clou is,
bearing his uame and bis aebiev
ments as well as his remains on its
very summit. Any inouument that
man could erect would dwindle into
insignificance when compared with
the one he now has.— Cin. Eng.
