SATURDAY JANUARY 8, 1874.
TO Oi l! M r RSCRinRRM.
We ure'iuost anxious at tbis time to
place our business on n cash footing and
to enforce that most necessary newspaper
rule that requires payment strictly in ad
vance. We are compelled to pay cash for
all our nuiteriul and labor, and uo cannot,
in justice to ourselves, send the paper
where our rule is not complied with. tVe
state this in the hope that all our subscri
bers will respond before the end of the
month, and lot us start the now year in a
proper way.
Weekly subscribers should remember
our Sunday issue makes a good semi-
weekly, filled with the latent iiowa and
most attractive literature. Our aim is to
make it a superior family paper, and the
success it is receiving shows our efforts
are being appreciated.
OI K STATE COKMTITITIO*.
How Shall II «»• Amended?
Wo have tukon but little part in the
discussion which has for some lime been
progressing between many of our cotoin-
porariea of the State press, as to the pro
priety of calling a Convention to omond
the Constitution of Georgia. Our im
pression Las been that there was some
untimely precipitancy in urging a deter
mination of tho question just now. Wo
will not know, until wo cun see the forth
coming reports of tho Comptroller Gen
eral anil Treasurer, whether the financial
condition of tho Stato will justify such a
Convention, with all its attendant expen
ses, this year—what amount of money
tliero will bo in tho Treasury, what will
bo tho sum of the extraordinary expenses
of tho year, and wlmt tho prospect of bor
rowing, if need bo, at rates which tho
btuto ought to pay. Neither do wo know
whether there is truth in tho reports that
tho lessees of tho Western Jfc Atlantic Rail
road contemplate tho surrender of their
lease when tho Legislatuio moots—a stop
which wontd unquestionably materially
diminish for a time the receipts of tho
Stato Treasury, and perhaps weaken its
resources to an amount not now nppro-
Leudud. It rooiiih to us that wo ought to
have bettor information on theso points
before we determine tho important quos-
tion propounded.
Wo arc clearly of the opinion that a
Constitutional Convention ought to he
oallo \ at ns early a day as the condition
of tiio State and of the times will permit.
—if for no other reason, to satisfy tho
pooplo that they lmvo a Constitution of
their own unconstrained making, and to
settle permanently a question of local
irritation that iH more scandalous than
bonetiuial. Hut if thoro arc particular
desirable amendments that call for in
diato action especially if the quostii
removing tho seat of government (which
wo upprohond to lie tho issue from which
most of the exoitomout of tho controversy
springs) must be dolorniiiied at once—
>vby cannot those special amendments bo
submitted to a vote of tho people at a
time shortly after tho mooting of the next
Legislature ? lly this course they could
be settled almost us quickly as by the call
of a Convention this year, and without
tho expeuso of the Convention.
Tho following are the provisions of tho
prosont Stato Constitution relating to the
mode of amending tho instrument. They
must of course bo regarded and adhered
to iu uuy proceeding towards amendment,
or substitution. They constitute Article
XU of the Constitution :
Soctiou 1. This Constitution may bo
amended by a two-thirds vote of two suc
cessive Legislatures, and by a submission
of the amendments to the qualified voters
for ratification.
2. Hut the General Assembly shall not
call a Convention of the people, lor tho
election of delegates to which any person
qualified to vote by this Constitution
shall bo disqualified.
A. And representation iu said Conven
tion shall be based on population.
4. Nor shall the light of sufi'rnge over
be takou from any person quuliliod by
this Constitution to vote.
Wo wish to call the attention of our
ootemporarios of tho press to one consid
eration which we believe 1ms not yet boon
brought iuto their discuhsion. It iu tho
fact that when the Convention is called
tho delegates must be apportioned to tho
count is according to their population.
Such Conventions us wo li ivu been accus
tomed to iu Georgia are forbidden by the
new Constitution. Tho one next called
must either bo so constituted aa to de
prive the smaller comities of their sepa
rate representation, or it will be a vastly
large and unwieldy body. If Coffee
Charlton, Kchols, Glasseo.U, Johnson,
Pierce, oud u dozen or so of other small
counties, with population ruugiug from
lt»'*0 to 4 000 each, must have one
delegates each, Chatham, with her 41,000,
must h wo -0 or 2.*> delegates, and Fulton,
Bibb, Houston, Ac., IT* or 20 each ! How
large a representative body thus constitu
ted must necessarily be, and how-
great the expenses of such a Conven
tion ! In this the time for in
curring Ruah an expense ? But suppose
we take tho ollnr altornative -8uppo.se
that we doprivo all the smaller counties
of separate representation—will those
counties sustain tho call of a convention
thus constituted ? w id they not fear that
it might provide for a Legislature made
up by similar disregard of county organi
zations r Such a mode of representation
would not be obnoxious to us, for we
have long thought that the very small
counties ought not to have been organ
ized in the first instuuce, and might yet
bo judiciously groupod together in ap
portioning representation. But wo know
tho tenacity of custom and the jealous ad
herence to what are regarded as county
“rights,' aud wo therefore direct atten-
tiouj to this mutter. Another considera
tion--if ten or twelve of tho larger comi
ties, having 12 to !?.'» delegates each, elect
ing them by general county tickot, should
choose delegates differing from the con
servative sentinrtnt of most of the other
couutic>, might not the popular majority
iu the \sh >le fcute thus overcome, and |
a body os little representing tho intelli
gence and property of tho Stato os that of
1808 did be choson ? If ho, can wo feel
confidence that wo would secure the re
forms for which we call the convention,
or anything else beneficial't
Wo intend this article chiefly as one of
a suggestive character, and inviting dis
cussion and criticism.
cam:It cYttlVISCPft JflNMIOX.
A Washington dispatch of the 28th ult.
to tho New York Herald professes to give
the “definitely ascertained" policy of tho
Administration in connection with the ap
pointment of lion. Caleb Cushing ns Min
ister to Spain. The statement corres
ponds with our impression of the unusual
importance of the mission : It says: “It
is certain that the diplomatic relations of
Spain and the I'uited States for the next
twelve mouths, will possess an interest
and a delicacy not surpassed by any event
iu the history of our intercourse with na
tions. The questions which will be dis
cussed possess an importance not out
weighed by oven tho points of interna
tional law thut oamo before tho Geneva
tribunal for settlement aud establishment.
The intentions of Spain are first to insti
tute suit against the United States, prob
ably before a tribunal of arbitration, for
damages. Iu this suit the whole subject
of tho Cuban insurrection will be em
braced, and all aid aud comfort rendered
to the insurgents by citizens and from
ports of tho United Statos will be includ
ed iu the bill."
This cluim and the discussions arising
from it must necessarily lead to tho de
termination of the Hiatus of a “filibuster
ing " ves-iol—a question not now deter
mined by what are knowu as iuternatio n.
ul laws or national usages. It is contend
ed that u filibuster (such as the Virginius)
on the high seas is not a pirate vessel, be
cause it is not tho enemy of all nations ;
and it is not a “belligerent," beenuso it is
not the recognized enemy of any nation.
Still it is a distuber of the peace of na-
lions—a sort of freeboolor making war
without tho authority of any nation, and
generally in violation of the laws of tho
nation from whose ports tho vessel was
fitted out. Such filibustering has of late
years booomo so common as to mako it
necessary to fix tho status of vessels en
gaged in it, uud to come to an internation
al agreement as to the mode of dealing
with thorn. And filibustering and block
ade runuiug are sometimes so nearly uu-
distinguislmbln ns to require that the
policy agreed upon should apply to both.
Mr. Cushing is known as a decided and
unsparing denunciator of filibuslorin
aud doubtless tho general instructions
which lie will receive will ngroo with his
own feelings in this matter. But then
tho question must be bundled skilfully, to
prevent our Govorumont going so far as
to make itself liable to heavy dnmagos to
Spain, Nicaragua, Mexico, Ac.
The Jleredd correspondence says that
Mr. Cushing will only hold the position
until tho present complications are dis
posed of.
COTTON.
Though, nt the time of writing this, wo
still lack one day’s return, it is evident
that tho lotul receipts of this week will
fall considerably short of tho extraordi
nary receipts of the two woeks immediate
ly preceding. Tho receipts of tho inte
rior towns appear to have boon compara
tively even shorter during tho week than
those of the ports, but this is probably iu
great part attributable to the holiday
rocrefttions. This fulling off is a fact of
much importance ns likely to nffect pricos.
It is not probable that any early udvuuco
in price will follow even a greater reduc
tion iu receipts, but it is pluiu that a con
tinuance of weekly receipts as heavy us
those lately reported would have depress
ed cotton to figures ruiuously low.
Messrs. Watts A Uouipauy’s Liv
erpool circular foi tho week eiuliug
December 12th allows that even then the
iucreasc of receipts and apprehension of
their long continuance had occasioned
ulaiin and cheeked purchases. Thut cir
cular reports that fears wore then eutor-
taiuou that the heavy receipts indicated a
crop much larger than tho reduced esti
mates ; thut manufacturers had curtailed
their takings in consequence ; that hold
ers had become demoralized and had
tloodod the market with cotton, and oven
reduced quotations had failed to attract
active buying. Hosides this cause of de
pression, tho alarming condition of affairs
in parts of India and the iuactive stato of
the trade in Europe are mentioned as
hindrances to large aud confident opera
tions. But, ns the extract from the Cir
cular which wo make below will show,
holders iu Liverpool based their hopes of
a maintenance of prices chiefly upon tho
prospect of a condition of affairs lie
which w o think tho reduced receipts of
this week favor. The Circular buys:
“Another section of holders, however,
wero more hopeful in their ideas, and ad
hered to the uotiou that the present
heavy receipts cannot bo attributed to
tho natural tlow from a big crop, and
will prove of a temporary character.
HOOD ADVICE.
An Opelika paper publishes un address
to the farmers, from which wo select the
following terse and simple truism. It is
just as we have long felt, but heretofore
we could never liud tho proper words to
express our idea*:
“This can only be done by concentra-
ing our patronage upon fair ami worthy
dealers ; enlarging their business to such
an extent, as that tho liberality of their
rates shall make it to our interest so to
bulk our patronage, as to make it to their
interest to be liberul. But to diagnose is
more difficult than to prescribe ; and iu
the medley of our recognized infirmities,
it becomes a question of exceeding difficul
ty so to frame our prescription, in the ex
actitude of its proportion and the extent
of its combination, an that the complex
ion of the indications shull bo met to u
degree thut shull foster our lutont recup
erative energies to a healthful tendency.
The whole head is sick by roason of the
distempered intellects that control our
legislation. The heart of society is faint
by reason of a moral perversion, wide
spread uud fearful in its proportions.
The beating pulse of commerce that sent
a thrill of blessing to every park, exhibits
the iaugor of a death doaliug plethora—
and evor uud anon some auurismul center
opens its greedy chusm on some fruitful
trunk to breed compression and paralize
uutritiou iu remoter parts-, whilst all the
grand capillaries of society, where elab
oration gives strongth, so the fubric turns
pale with a dread collapsion, that sends
its fearful death vigors through the
whole."
To say that the foregoing is “bully,"
would bo fuiut praise ; but we endorse it,
and that is higher praise.
It was Heuator Morton who was lnAiuly
instrumental in having tho Liberal Sena
tors recognized by the Republicans. He,
too, took pains to bavo Senator Sumner
associated with himself on tho Education
Committee, of which Mr. Flanagan, of
Texas, is chairman.—Monty. Journal.
Those Liberal Republicans must cer
tainly bo thankful for small favors. Only
think of Sumner, one of tho oldest and
certainly one of tho most learned and
distinguished Senators (whatever wo may
think of his past politics) “recoguizod"
by “ussociatou” with such au unscrupu
lous partisan as Morton, and serving at
tho tail end of an important committee
having for its chairman a Senator with so
little claim to celebrity or distinguished
acquirements as Flanagan, of Texas.
The Now York Herald thinks it almost
certain, from information brought by a
spocinl correspondent who arrived with
tho Juniata, that Mr. Rulph Keeler, cor
respondent of the New York Tribune,
was murdered on his way from Santiago
do Cuba to Manzanillo. It calls upon the
authorities nt Washington to institute a
searching investigation of tho matter.
Mr. Keelrir, it appours. was simply miss
ing when the Juniata left—his baggage
had arrived at Manzanillo, but he had
not. The presumption of foul play is
therefore reasonable, but thoro is yet no
positive proof of it.
A Washington letter says: “ The pub
lication lately made of tho assets of Joy
Cooke A Co. has not strengthened public
confidence in the ability of the firm to
liquidate its indoliteduess. It was kuown
that the firm wus very heavily ‘loaded up'
with Northern Paoiti *, but no one imag
ined that they hud on hand such a inat-s
of other ‘wild cat’ securities. The most
sanguino creditors are now not expecting
to roalize more than teu cents iu the dol
lar. Tho Cookes thoiuselves, however,
still continue to insist tliut they will pay
up in full." ,

The high Htato of tho Southern rivers,
and improved financial conditions, ena
ble the planters to market their crops
freely to meet tlieir commitments falling
due nt Christmas. Theso more sAuguiue
views have certainly been fortified by
tho comparative steadiness of tho Ameri
can markets. Notwithstanding the enor
mous receipts, pricos there exhibit but a
small decliue from tho quotations of two
woeks ago. Piautors are also credited
with on anxiety to push off their crops
and invest iu “Futures" in New York,
and if this is so, the small do Hue iu the
Southern market is all the more rotnarka-
able.
“The great question is the duration
of the prosent heavy receipts. Should
they last a week or two longer we believe
prices here will give way. On the other
hand, should the next two weeks demon
strate that tho expnusiou of the past fort
night was only temporary, then wo think
that bottom has been touched for a time.
Tho confidence iu cotton at about present
prices is general, and only waits some
favorable circumstances in order to make
itself felt.”

The Only Known Medicine
THAT AT THIS SANK TI MU
Purges, Purifies, and Strengthens the
System.
Dr. Tutt’s Pills are composed of many In
gredients. Prominent among them are Sar
saparilla nuil Wild Cherry, so united as to net
together; tho one, through Its admixture wIth
other subtancos, purifying and purging: while
the other is strengthening the system. Thus
these Pills are at tho same time a tonic and a
cathartic, a desideratum long sought for !■>
medical men, but never boforo discovered. I' 1
other words, they do tho work ot two uiodicinei
aud do it much bolter than any two we know
of, for th- y roinove nothing from the system
but Impurities, so that while they purgo they
also strengthen and hence they cause no de
bility and are followod by no reaction.
Du.Tutt’s Pills have a wonderful influence
on the blood. They not only purify without
weakening It, but thoy roinovo all noxious par
ticles from tho chyle before it Is converted Into
fluid, nnd thus makes impure blood nn fitter
impossibility. As thoro is no dcbllitatlou, w
tliero is no nausea or sickness attending the
operatUm of this most excellent medicine,
which never strains or tortures tho digestive
organs, hut causes thorn to work in a perfectly
natural manner; henoo persons inking them
do not become pale nnd emaciated* hut on the
contrary, whilo all Impuritios arc being remov
ed, the combined action of the Sarsaparilla
nnd Wild Cherry purities aud Invigorates tuo
body, and a robust state cf health is tho result
of their united action. Price, 26 cents a bo*.
