CONST LTUTIONALT ST. AUGUSTA- GhA. SUNDAY MORNING, DEC. 20,1868 IMMIGRATION AGENTS—INDUSTRIAL CONVENTIONS, Etc. Our esteemed correspondent “Oeilou vert” favors us with another practical com munication, which will be found below. While we appreciate his caution with regard to the selection of Commissioners of Immi gration, we think this caution unnecessary so far as Col- Schaller is concerned. If we mistake not, Col. 8. holds an important appointment from the State of Virginia, and we are not sure that he seeks to be officially connected with the Georgia Asso ciation. Beside, we venture to say that between him and Baylor no assimilation is possible. Should he be fixed upon, by authority, to represent our material in terests abroad, we feel assured that the trust would be guarded sacredly, honorably and efficiently. He has high intelligence, exalted moral worth, indomitable energy, an extensive European acquaintance, lin guistic attainments, and an ardent devotion for his adopted State. We champion no man in advance of his own wishes and in advance of the permanent establishment of the enterprise which he may possibly.repre sent, but it may be permitted for us to say, that Georgia will be lucky indeed if she can secure a better man than Frank Schallkh to plead the cause of her indus try beyond the seas. Here is what “Oeilouveht" has to say. His communication, though brief, is, like everything from his pen, masculine thoughts salted down in the snuggest sentences : “ One of the Macon papers, in speaking of the Agricultural Convention that assem bled there lately, says: ‘ Seldom have we seen a more grave or a more dignified body ol men met together. It was composed of plain, practical planters. Their speeches were all - terse, sensible, to the point, and characteristic of the calling of the men who made them. * * * The work of the convention was well done.’ It is but fair to presume that this account is a correct one. The men of gas seem to have staid at home, or, if any of them were present, the character of the convention must have kept them in check, and prevented them from in dulging their favorite propensity. “ A long manuscript was read by Col. Schaller, of whom the press generally speaks very favorably. His name indicates that he is a foreigner. This, per se, is no objec tion, for we are all very anxious to have foreigners come amongst us. Our plan of immigration cannot be carried out with out the aid of foreigners, for all immigrants, of course, are foreigners, and the best way to induce them to cast their fortunes with ns is to employ, as agents, some of their own number, in whom they have confi dence. But, without casting any reflection on Messrs. Schaller and Rees, and taking it for granted that the editors, who com mend them so highly, are personally ac quainted with the gentlemen, and speak knowingly, it may not be amiss to enunci ate the general proposition that, after our experience with Commissioner Baylor, we cannot be too careful in our selection of agents to represent us abroad in a matter that most of our people consider so vital as that of immigration. “ There is a great deal of talk about get ting up agricultural, colleges and schools, the originators expecting the students to labor a portion of their time in the fields belonging to tucli institutions —in fact making manual labor a part of the course of education. Nothing can be more admir able than this plan if it be properly carried out, but if this particular feature of it succeed, it must be with very different ma terial from*that usually ‘ sent to college ’ in this section. It is folly to expect that youths who have never known what it is to work at home, will do much in this way abroad. If any plan can be devised to maintain at sncli seminaries a parcel of boys brought «p to perform their share of work with their parents, doubtless they will accom plish all that the friends of the scheme hope for. “ The experiment of the Manual Labor School at Covington, Ga., demonstrated the truth of what lam saying. To that school were sent a good many youths, sons, generally, of well-to-do people, who had heen reared in the habits ol idleness so characteristic of Southern people before the ■war, and the whole affair resulted, in a very short time, in failure and abandonment Boys at large schools generally imagine that they go to learn to smoke, drink and indulge in habits of even greater laziness and prodigality than they do at home. The more of them there are together, the more utterly unreasonable and senseless they become. Parents who allow their children to be as indolent as they please, • spend as much money as they choose, and learn as many bad habits as they like, while forming their character from infancy up, and then expect, by sending them to Manu al Labor Schools, to correct all the evil of this early training, will be wofully disap pointed. Let them teaeh their offspring frugality, industry, and good manners un der the parental roof; then they may expect to reap a large harvest of good by sending to Agricultural Colleges and Manual La bor Schools.” UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA. The advertisement of the State Univer sity, which we publish in another column, contains the names of some additional members of the Faculty, and presents ex traordinary attractions in this the oldest educational institution of the Gulf States. Mr. Stephens needs no herald to proclaim his praises. He has shown himself to be the Nestor of our “ Nation’s ” troubles. Let the young men of the South come to him as to the feet of Gamaliel, and learn the lessons which, as an active member of the Faculty and President of the College, he will delight to impart. Major Morris is a Virginian, once Professor o' Law in Wil liam and Mary College, and experienced teacher and polished gentleman. Dr. Smead, who will also assist in the depart ment of Ancieut Languages, is a profound scholar, educated in Germany, where re ceiver! the Degree of Ph. D., and also once Professor of Ancieut Languages in Wil liam and Mary College, Virginia. Commenting upon our noble University, the Richmond Enquirer & Examiner says: “In the presence of tie wide-spread de vastation in the South, it is a relief to wit ness the untiring efforts which are being successfully made to reorganize our schools and colleges, thus facilitating the acquisi tion of that knowledge which is power, and which, sooner or later, must furnish the leverage by means of which our belov ed section shall be raised from the slough of despondency and started on that career of prosperity and glory which we feel as sured the future has in store for her. “In this connection, it is with mingled feelings of pleasure and regret that we no- tice the election of a distinguished citizen of this State, Mr. Charles Morris, to the Professorship of Belles Lettres and Rhet oric in the University of Georgia, at Athens. Os pleasure, because of- this well merited tribute to his worth, intellectual and moral; or regret, that Virginia should at this juncture lose the services of a son whose clear head, honest heart, able pen and eloquent tongue are so essential in the reconstruction of her bwn fallen fortunes. “ The wise discrimination exhibited by the trustees in the appointment of Mr. Morris is still farther illustrated by the election of Georgia’s most distinguished son, the lion. Alexander H. Stephens, to the chair of History, and of Dr. J. M. Snead, formerly a professpr at William and Mary College, to the chair of Modern Lan guages. The original able Faculty of the University of Georgia, thus splendidly re inforced, must, at no distant day, achieve for that institution the enviable reputation which our own State University has so long enjoyed. To this and all similar institu tions, we would earnestly extend a cordial God-speed.” Belmont and Democracy.— The New. York World lias taken up the cudgels in defense of Mr. Belmont. It denies that he has any pecuniary or other connection with it, and referring to his reputed treach ery to the Democratic party, says: 14 The charges that he is a ‘bondholder, and as such desired our defeat, or was lukewarm in the party’s 6crviee, or false in any sort to his honorable trust, are destestable calumnies which cannot a-peres him where his character is known, but do betray the ignorant# or the malevolence from which they *l>fing. Make Amends.; —Pending the recent elec tions, national and municipal, certain Rad eal papers detailed, in frightful language, the assassination of one GuStavus Hor ton, a renegade office-holder of Mobile. We have waited patiently to see this false statement corrected, but, up to dale, noth ing of the kind has been done. Will those who killed Horton, for political purposes, he pleased to acknowledge that he is still alive, kicking and enjoying one of the fat test offices in Alabama? Proofs of Sanity.— A man was proved to have returned a borrowed umbrella. This settled his status as an insane man before a competent court. Commodore Meade denounces his satrapian brother, and a New York. Judge decides him tube com'jWH mentis. Perhaps the wrong mail got into the Lunatic Asylum. Pax Vobiscum. —The bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, North, pro mise, in a neat letter, to pray for Grant here aud hereafter. Noton Speaking Terms. —lt is reported “through trustworthy sources” that Presi dent Jounson and General Grant are so hostile that mum’s the word between them. “Let us have peace.” —i Tho Legal Tenders—Opinion of the Effect of a Repeal of the Legal-Tender Act. Treasury of the United States, ) Washington, December 11, j Sir: Y 7 our projiosition to “repeal the legal-tender act instnnter ” is simply the enactment of a law to compel the immedi ate resumption of specie payments on the part of the Government, the banks, and the people. Are the poorer sections of the country prepared for this? Think of it. The Government lias of its own over $550,- 000,000 of outstanding liabilities that are overdue. It is the indorser of the whole issue of the circulating notes of all the national banks, amounting to $300,000,000 more. Then bear in mind that these banks owe their depositors some $050,000,000 more. Here you have an aggregate of $1,000,000,000 of debts, immediately due and payable in coin, for all of which the Government would have to stand the brunt. The Government lias, say, $88,000,000 in gold in its vaults, or about s>£ per cent, of the Indebtedness. You will say the “Govern ment need but care for itself; it lias noth ing to do with the debts of the national banks.” Well, let’s see how this is. If one of these banks fails to pay its deposits on call, it of course fails to pay its circulating notes, on the happening of which the Con troller of the Currency puts the bank in the hands of a receiver, and the Treasury of the United States immediately becomes, in effect, the maker of the notes of such bank, and is by law compelled to redeem them. Few banks could stand such a state of things, in their present condition, for a singe day, and the inevitable result would be that the banks, the business men, aud the credit of the Government would go to perdition together. However desirable the return to specie payments may be, we should make haste to accomplish it slowly, if we would make it sure and permanent. Failures would be fatal. To apply the rule to “ all future con tracts ” would not be quite so bad, but it is to a degree liable to the same objections, and, besides, it would strike every kiud of business with paralysis. All your alter reasoning seems to me to be perfectly sound. We agree in all but the mode by which the desired good is to be attained.— We should not be too impatient. The world was not made in a day. Neither can we pay a debt of $1,600,000,000 in gold “ instanter.” We should, howe\-er, at once set ourselves about preparing the way over which we may soon pass, in perfect safety, to the promised land that shall flow, not with milk and houey, but with gold and •ilver. Your other proposition, “ that all the currency contracts now in force should be converted into specie or its equivalent, when due, say at seventy five cents on the dollar,” is objectionable, because it might possibly be decided to be unconstitutional, in that it would “impair the obligation of contracts.” True, not more so than the present law, that makes something else than “geld and silver coin a tender in pay ment of debts.” But that was enacted iu a time of great peril, which has now passed. Hoping that the action of Congress will be such as to be satisfactory to all right thinking men, l am, very respectfully, yours, ' F. E. Spinner. David Wilder, Esq., Boston, Mass. Indiscretion of Carpet-Bag Senators. —ln the debate which arose in the Senate on the bill to repeal the one preventing the enrolment of militia at the South, which was unanimously passed with an amend ment excepting from the repeal the States of Mississippi, Texas and Virginia, one of the Southern Senators—Walker, of Ala bama —in a very carpet-haggish kind of speech, spoke of the loyal men of the South ern States being determined to uphold the governments there established, peaceably if they could, forcibly if they must. The lat ter clause in his remarks explains the anx iety for ai’ms and a standing militia com l>osed of colored men, and gives some indi cation of the arrogant if not sanguinary spirit which animates the pseudo Southern Representatives in Congress. The cool and experienced heads of the Senate seem to grow nervous when any of the recent im portations get on their legs to speak, as the least mention of the South is sure to drive them into the broadest indiscretions of legislative counsel. The offensive epithet of rebel, as applied to Democrats, was gradually becoming obsolete in the Senate, but these super-excellent loyalists seem de termined on retaining it in their vocabu lary.—Washington Cor.

Timothy McAuliffs, and of their sons, Patrick and John McAuliffe, are invited tt> attend the funeral of the former, from the Catholic Chnrch, THIS (Sunday) MORNING, at 12 o’clock. THE FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES OF Mr. Johh A. Barnes and family, arc invited to attend lila funeral, from the Greene Street Baptist Church, THIS (Sunday) A FTERNOON, at 3 o’clock. THE FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES OF Misa Arm McKenzie, Mr. John A. North and family, and John Craig and family, are respectfully invited to attend the funeral qf the former, from the residence ol the latter, THlS'(Sunday) AFTERNOON, at 3 o’clock. on ITU A It Y. On Sabbath morning, the 6th instant, the funeraj services over the remains of the late John M. Gordon took place at St. James’. Methodist Church, in this city, of which church the deceased was a member. On account of the absence of the highly esteemed pastor, Mr. Patillo,Mr. Hilliard was the speaker for the occasion. The writer has been somewhat fa miliar with the history of the last named gentleman from his eaily public life until the present, lie has marked his conduct while a representative of this great nation at a Foreign Court, and in Congress ; he has seen him stand as the acknowledged peer of the foremost men of the country, but he doubts whether he ever, in the presence of Kings or in the midst of the assembled intellect of a nation, appeared to better advantage than on that Sabbath morning, as he stood near tho coffin of the youthful and virtuoas dead, discoursing upon the words of the preacher, “ Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” The crowded and atten tive audience had known the dead from his boyhood ; had seen him battling manfully with adversity, and when prospei ily showered, of late, so lavishly its blessings upon him, had seen him remain, unspotted by its allurements, the same devoted son, brother and friend as when sorely pressed with care and daily toil, and felt most forcibly the truth of the eloquent speaker’s declaration, that t’ e words of the preacher, “Vanity of vanities, ail is vanity,” had no loom on tile silver piate upon the coffin, for John M. Gordon, ttnough his short, eventful and useful life had heeded the words of the same preacher, arid obeying his in structions, had “ feared God and kept his command ments,” believing that to be tho whole duty ot man. Tlio Sabbath School of fc't. James’ Church ununi mously adopted the following obituary notice, pre sented for its consideration by Mr. Clement C. Carey, between whom and the lamented dead a friendship warm and devoted had existed from almost their earliest recollection : On the night of the 4tli ol December, the spirit of John M. Gordon took its flight from earth tor the better lari 1 above. Our departed brother has been for many years a member of St. James’ M. E. Church aud Sunday School, having made bis pub'ic confession of faitli in Christ during the ministry of our beloved brother Cook. For many years he was the comfort and sup port of a widowed mother and his younger brother and sisters. Having lately inherited a large fortune, he was enabled to afford them a still bet Ur support, and it was his intention to give a liberal education to his brother and sisters, and at the time of his sick ness lie was engaged in attending school himself, with the purpose of acquiring a thorough education, which his limited means and the heavy charge of a large family had prevented him front obtaining in his earlier years. Coming 111 possession of his property, lie showed his intention of using it in sifch a manner as to glorify God, his Heavenly Father. His ear was ever open to the cry of the needy, and his hand ever ready to contiibute to every charitable impose. A loving and obedient son, a kind and affectionate broth er, a true fliend—in all the relations of life lie stiove to ho an unassuming and faithful Christian. During his last illness, which was protracted, he strove to bear w ith patience the will of the Lord. Not only from his life, which was correct, hut also from his con versa'lon during liis illness, we feel sure that his soul is at rest with Jesus. May we all take warning from his early death, and be prepared, whenever the mes sage shall come for us, to go with joy to meet our re ward with Christ our Bavlour, “in whose presence is ‘fullness ot joy, and at whose l ight hand are pleasures for evermore.” To liis deeply afflicted mother an.l relatives, we would temh r our sympathies and prayers, and point them to that l rvkig Saviour, who has promised to “Jieal their sorrows and hind up their bleeding hearls.” Georgia State Lottery FOR TUK BENEFIT OF THE Mn.bo ni c Orphan’s Home.
