FRIDAY MORNING. FEB. 26,1869
[For the Constitutionalist.
How Much Cotton?
I have been proving my faith hv ray
works—carrying theory into practice—
illustrating precept by example. In short,
I have been working—actual manual labor
—until my right hand had almost forgot
her cunning in the way of chirograpiiy.
My fingers are so stiff and sore that I can
not handle the pen with anything like the
facility necessary for a regular scribbler, and
all this accounts for the fact that I have
not, for a great while, communed with the
readers of the Constitutionalist through
its columns. Herewith 1 hope to re-estab
lish our former rapport, and trust to main
tain it for a long time to come.
A great deal has been said lately about
the danger of raising too much cotton,
thereby reducing the price, failing to make
enough provisions, risking high prices on
the part of Western producers, &c., &c.
Trade is a strange—l had almost said be
ing. It is governed by laws, fixed and cer
tain, doubtless, but well nigh inscrutable,
to human understanding. True, moneyed
combinations do sometimes compass a pro
posed end, but far oftener they fail, especial
ly in such gigantic business as that of
money controlling the American cotton
crop. In small affairs, this great personi
fication, principle—or, call it what you will
—seems to allow mortals occasionally to
have their own way, while in matters of
importance it seems to delight in showing
them what pigmies they are.
Generally, trade makes its own disposi
tion of matter—following a natural chan
nel, even as water seeks its own level—
while the very men, the financiers, great
and small, who are engaged in carrying out
its operations, are bliud agents, as Ignorant
of its principles as the machine which dis
patches the telegram is of the nature of
electricity.
What is the difference between the quan
tity of cotton raised in 1867 and that of
1868 ? Certainly, as agreed by all hands,
not enough to warrant the enormous dis
proportion between the prices prevailing in
the early Winter of the former year and
those obtained in the same season of the
latter year. Who can explain the reasons
of the difference ? Os course, Bryce, Mc-
Henry and others, to say nothing of the
lesser lights, hatch up something which
they call explanations, after the thing is all
over; but have they, or could.they, or any
body else, deduce from the experience of the
two years just gone, or all past time, any
principles by which they can, with reason
able probability, predict the price that cot
ton will bring next December, even if they
knew the exact number of bales that will
be produced all over the world ? Every
one will answer no. The elements that en
ter into the calculation are so many, be
sides the mere question of supply, that hu
man intellect is unequal to the task of
making it.
It is out of the question for us to raise
and gather a much larger crop than two
and a half million of bales with the labor
we now have. By planting nothing else
beside cottou, we might grow a great deal
more than we now do; but practical plant
ers know that it is extremely difficult to
have the present crop picked out and got to
market, while a much larger one would en
sure the leaving of a great portion in the
fields, to be devoured by cattle. This con
sideration, and not the danger of an over
supply, is the true argument against plant
ing all cotton. Corn is easily gathered—
when we go over a field once we are done—
but we must go over cotton again and
again, till the freedmeu grow tired of the
work, and often give up In disgust.
I am well satisfied that planters who llye
convenient to railroads and steamboat lines
liottfd make most money by pJahtfnjj all
cotton, if they could save it. Under pres
ent circumstances, those remote from trans
portation cannot expect to prosper long
unless they make corn enough at home.—
this I conceive to he about a correct state
ment of the whole matter. If we expect
merely to live—comfortably, if yoq plcqse,
so far as physical well-pefng ig concerned
then we should try to prod if qe, wlfliiß our
selves all the necessaries of life, leaving
the world outside to “ wag as it will.” In
that case, our Weight and influence in this
coqntry, ’on this continent, in the world,
would be small indeed.' But if we intend
to become wealthy and powerful, let us
gtriye to produpe What is necessary to tlfo'i
St of the inhabitants of earth—to estab
l and maintain a monopoly of the article

the commerce of nations. It is this which
will do more toward regaining for us the
influential position we once held, than all
other agencies combined. It is frOnr this,
and not from politicians, that our deliver
ance must come.
But it is said the Western producers will
“combine” and force us to pay exorbitant
prices. Can we not “combine,” too!
Thank God! we are getting once more to a
(joint where we can do as much in that
way as the West or North can. The idea
of “combinations” among cotton planters,
to force prices upward, is often laughed at
as utterly chimerical, and perhaps with
reason, as my opinions of the nature and
laws of trade incline me to think. But it
is equally impracticable with hog raisers
and pork packers. We have just as much
control over the matter as they have.
Let Western produce bring remunerative
prices. So long as we are equally favored
why should we complain ? If high prices
stimulate the production of cottou will
they not act in the same manner with re
gard to corn and bacon? People entirely
forget to look at that side of the question.,
Let prices, supply and demand, convenience
of transportation, &c., regulate these mat
ters —as they will, in time, any way, in spite
of all the editorials that can be writteu be
tween now and dooms-day—and all will yet
be well with our people, long down-trodden,
but now, at last, about to be regenerated,
if they will work. Oeii.ouvert.

HOUSE.
House met, pursuant to .adjournment, and
was opened with prayer by tbe Rev. Mr. Crnm
le>A
Jdfrrnal read and approved.
On motion of Mr. Hamilton, of Scriven, a
seat on the floor was tendered to the Hon. Rob
ert Toombs during his stay in the city.
The House took up the unfinished business
of yesterday, the same being the Governor’s
veto of the bill providing for an election of
Mayor and Council in the city of Colnmlms.
Mr. Phillips, of Echols, spoke in opposition
to the bill, claiming that it was unconstitutional,
on the ground that the State constitution re
quires a residence of six months in the Btate
and thirty days in a county as a qualification for
voting, and the bill require* a residence of six
months in the city.
Mr. Bryant opposed the passage of the Dill
and cited the case of the town of Lumpkin, in
Stewart county, upon which a similar veto was
received from the Governor last session. He
regretted that the present bill had not been so
framed as to render it unnecessary to object to
it, as he would like very much to see an elec
tion brought on in the city of Columbus, but
the Legislature ought not to pass a bill which
is clearly unconstitutional.
Mr. Crawford held that it was constitutional
and right, and that corporations should have
special rights vested in them which should be
long to them, and which they alone should
control.
Mr. Saussey thought it very strange that
this bill should have received the recommend
ation of the committee; should have passed
both Houses unanimously; and should have
been decided unconstitutional by his Excel
lency alone. He claimed that the tax paid by
voters on registering was in lieu of the. poll
tax required by the city under the old act,
and that, therefore, there was nothing iu the
bill in violation ot the constitution.
Mr. Grimes—Thnt on accouut oi the election
in the city of Columbus not having been held
at the regular lime, this bill was introduced
to brim: on the election. He showed that the
House had a precedent for the action now ask
ed for iu the act of last session, overriding the
veto of the Augusta hill, ne said that Mr.
Phillips had contended that the bill, in requir
ing a residence of six months is unconstitu
tional, but if be, Mr. G., remembered rightly,
Mr. Phillips voted for the Augusta bill with
the same provision in it. Hoped members
would vote for or against the bill according
to its iperits, and not exhibit tfiat want of
manliness which truckles to the subserviency
of party.
The previous question was called and su»-
tained, and on the passage of the bill over
the veto of the Governor, the yeas were Go,
and the nays 48, so the bill was lost. (It
required a two-thirds vote to pass this bill
over the veto.)
Mr. Kellogg—A resolution requesting the
Committee on Printing to report the reason
of the delay on the part of the Public Printer
in the delivery of the Journal of iast session.
Adopted.
Mr. Felder—A resolution forbidding mem
bers to speak more than five minutes on the
same subject. Not taken up.
Mr. Holden—A resolution consolidating the
Committee on Enrollment and the special com
mittee appointed to examine the qualifications
of clerks. K ot qp.
Mr. Paulk—A resolution that the House take
up at ire evening session such Joeal bills on third
reading as the Speaker may select. Not taken
up.
Mr. O’Neal —A resolution authorizing W. L.
Hubbard to take charge of the old furniture
brought from Milledgeville, to sell the same
and turn the proceeds over to the 'Jfeasqrer
for'the common school funa-
an motion of Mr. Williams, of Morgan, ft>e
ise took up ana adopted the report of the
Committee on the Lunatic Asylum.
- The House took up the speeial order of the
day, the same being the bill to exempt from tax
ation all capital, home and foreign, invested lit
the manufacture df Cc qnd' ftthef
fibrous materials; a!s<\ ill cap K inyestefi fa
the mauufucturetof agricultural implements.
Lane amended so ns to exempt from tax

Wheat and other produce.
" ‘Mr. Barnqm amended so as to exempt rail
roads from taxation.'

the original bill, without amendments, was

the floir was granted to Mr. H. 8. Wells, *f
New York.
Mr. Darnell—A resolution tendering a seat

Burning of the Negro Methodist Church
in Macon.— The destruction of the African
Methodist Cbnrch and the self-evident fact that
it was the result of a long quarrel between two
factions of it, surprises no one here. The
right of possession lias been in dispute for
months past. If we understand the case right,
the church was built before the war, chiefly by
the white members and congregation of tbe
Methodist Church South, and the right to hold
service in the bnildiog given the colored mem
bers of that denomination. Soon after the
close of the war, H. M. Turner, a member ot
the Northern Methodist Church, somehow
managed to take possession of it. Being a half
politician and half preacher, he harangued his
congregation accordingly, and soon, disgusted
The Democratic pornoff of "Inc members', who
went to work to oust him from the concern.
His sermons were not much else than Radical
stump speeches, like Beecher’s. When a
preacher commences dabbling in politics, he
ought to hand in his chips as a minister of the
gospel. The two no more mix than oil and
water, or jackdaws and peacocks. The effort
to take the Southern colored Methodists of this
city over to that political organization, the
Northern Methodist Church, has proved a fail
ure, as did the effort to get possession of this
property without paying for it. The edifice
having been built wholly by Southern Method
ists, Turner had no more rights in it thau he
has in any other church in this city.
On last Monday the sheriff locked it up, and
on Tuesday delivered the keys and the build
ing over to the other party. Tuesday night
they held their first meeting and a lew hours
afterwards it was burned to the ground. While
the house was burning the followers of Turner
all round were heard to express great gratifica
tion.
Here is a vindictive spirit of the most repre
hensible character. Religions fanaticism could
scaccely go farther than this. It is a case de
serving the most rigid and searching investi
gation by the Mayor and police. The track of
an incendiary is never quite covered up. We
have often heard that the quarrel would result
in the burning of the house, and sure enough
it has. — Telegraph.
Heavy Mule Trade.— Within the last (hree
months there have been shipped from Macon,
over the Southwestern Railroad, 150 car loads
of mules, averaging about 18 head to the car,
and making a total shipment of mules into
Southwestern Georgia, this season, ot 2,700
head, the cash value of which will not fall a
dollar under $540,000. This is quite a large
sum for only one section of the State to expend
for a single item in preparing for the next crop,
and will give one some idea of tbe success which
attended the planting interests of the State last
year, and also an idea of the extent and magni
tude of the planting operations of the present
year.— Macon Telegraph.
An Infamous Practice —The Monroe Ad
vertiser hears numerous complaints that farm
ers, “so-called,” sneak round their neigbors’
plantations, trying to cajole negroes into break
ing their labor contracts. There’s a heavy stat
ute on this subject, to which such people should
take heed. They are unworthy the name of
men. Their ears should be cropped and a good
coat of tar and feathers applied to them. We
consider them the meanest thieves loose. Tho

ECONOMY!
Time, Money and Labor Saved.
THE AUTOMATIC CLOTHES WASHER
AND BOILER.
HIS most useful invention has been introduced
into this ciiy by the undersigned, who guarantees the
perform-ince of all that is claimed for it. Tho cost is
comparatively trifling— BIXNDOLLARS —when is
considered the amount of money and labor saved
by Its use.
This Boiler operates upon purely philosophical prin
cipl s.
. It is self-acting, and dispenses entirely with labor
and the wear of clothes.
The hot suds and" steam, by the action of Are, are
driven up through tubes, poured upon the clothes,
and forced through the fabric with astonishing rapid
ity, cleansing it perfectly without any rubbing. It has
been thoroughly tested, and pronounced unequaled as
a Clothes Washer by those who have used it.
All fabrics, from the finest laces to the bed blanket,
can be washed perfectly and with ease, without the
aid of the tubbing-board. For Flannels it is invalua
ble, as the rubb ng, roiling and pressing process must
necessarily full them more or less.
It‘s truly a labor aaft clothes saying invention
vtu 'jiy louja’lflj a bardtfi-p.'and walking
day no longer a terror sfffcf a' dread to housewives.'
The invention can be used in any boiler, and th
low price of the ar'icle places it within the reach of
every family.
The saving in the wear of clothes will very soon pay
for the outlay.
It is estimated that 200 to 3QO gallons ot boiled suds
pass through the clothes in thirty minutes; this being
the longest time required for c eansiug a boiler full of
clothes.
I refer, confidently, to the following named gentle
men, who have seen the Automatic Washc-r and
Boiler in operation:
Rev. Ja.mes 8. I amab, E. R. Bohneiobb, Dr. W.
B. Wells and James W. Mebedith, Esq.

GUAWO
TO TOE
PLANTERS OF GEORGIA.
Guarantied lo lie equal to anv fertilizer heretofore
used, not excepting genuine Peruvian Guano. By
various tests made by experienced planters of cotton,
it has been conclusively Proven that an application,
pound for pound, alongside Peruvian, produces fully
as good results in favorablo seasons, and In dry
weather the crop stands the drought much 1 letter. It
has also been demonstrated that In every ease It makes
A GOOD STAND, GROWS OFF QUICKLY, MA
TURES THE CHOP KaRLIKK and PICKS OUT
BETTER than where none t* applied, and M AKKS
A BETTER and HEAVIER STAPLE.
When annlied at the rate of 250 pounds per acre, it
will make two good successive crops, thus demonstra
ting i:s permariot qua ities, which cannot lie said of
Peruvian. One hundred end fifty to two hundred
pounds have always, in avenge Bensons, INCH EAS
ED THE CROP ONE HUNDRED PER CENT.
Where a more liberal application has been made, the
yield lias been in proportion. This can be relied
upon on y when ti e following directions are complied
wit ', elt hough some planters' have gotten the best rej
suits by listing, the tame as is done, with Peruvian.
DIRECTION tel:
Rub the seed with the Guano before planting, and
use not less than 150 pounds per acre in the drill IN
DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE SKKD. The
application can be increased to 500 pouuds WITH
OUT ANY RISK, with a co ro.pondiug and certain
result, Be sure the land is well draine 1. and the plow
ar.d hoc kept vigorously going, to ke p down the
grass and give the cotton plant a chance to get the
full benefit of the manure, otherwise it must fail of
it* proper remit. 1 1 will give equal results on any
other crop to wliichit is applied. The m nuf.teturvrs
