Tkbms—C isb OO NTS ri r OTTO IST ALIST. 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 |4at is the greatest power now known to , <„>l'rtT ?\ ii \ i *j ,• - r , ' \ . 2xi"tDcchli) Constitutionalist. 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.

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.

Georgia. Items, 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 Advertiser says a farmers’ club will afford a remedy", but will any club, more respectable than a banditti, harbor such miserable crea tures ?

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.

Liebig, the celebrated agricultural Ohemist, now oiler their unrivaled 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 GUARANTEE SATISFACTORY RESULTS IN ALL OAtES it the foregoing directions are complied with. We confidently recommend this FERTILIZER to our friends and customers, feeiing assured from the experience of the past two years, that it will accom plish sli that is claimed for It by the manufacturers.
