SATURDAY JANUARY 10, 1874.
The New HatujAhiro Demoowy, io
their StAto Convention on NVednondsy,
deolarrd their adherence to the Cincin
nati and Baltimore platform* of 1872.
Special electiouH for members of the
Legislature of Florida were lately held in
eight counties. The returns show a Re
publican gain of oue Representative in
these counties, and make no change in
the party division of the Senate.
It is surmised by the Now York Jlerald
end other papers that Gen. Serrano, now
acting Chief IOxecutive of Spain, favors
the succession of Don Alfonso, son of
Isabella, as King, and that he may work
aeoretly to bring about a restoration of
the monarchy.
A movement is on foot among the Ma-
aonio Lodges of Philadelphia in relation
to iuvitii g the Grand Masonic Lodges of
(bo world to send representatives to form
u Congress to meet st the Great Centen
nial Exhibilon on tbs ttb day of July,
1870, for the purpose of revision of the
work of the Order.
The Trustees of the Internal Improve
ment Fund of Florida have again placed
on the market the lands granted to the
Jacksonville and St. Augustine ltaitroAd
Company, and the lands conveyed to tho
Southern Inland Navigation and Improve
ment Company. A late decree of tho
United Statt s Circuit Court restored those
lands to tho companies.
The New York livening Host (Republi
can; thinks tint public opinion, as recent
ly ascertained, imperatively calls for a
fatal repeal of the Salary act of tho lost
session of Congresft, as fsr as it onn bo
constitutionally rcpialed, and that re
trenchment, and not increased taxation or
debt, is tho way out of tho financial diffi
culties of the Government.
“New Constitution Dick” is tho name
which an enthUHinstic reformer in Penn
sylvania 1ms given to his son, born on tho
day on which tho new Constitution of
that Stuto was voted on by the people.
If the boy proves as great an improve
ment on his dud uh the now Constitution
is said to bo on tho old, the name will not
bo inappropriate.
NS ity did Don liuller move the recom
mitment oj the Civil Rights bill, when its
supporters woro evidently iu such a hurry
to pus* it ? Ho said that it was for the
purpose of correcting some of its “ab-
siudiiies"—au expression not sutUoiently
definite to iuforui us whether ho meant
absuidiiicn in principle or iu phraseology
men ly. it appears to ubouud iu both,
and if properly and thoroughly overhaul
ed in committee, it would bo a very dif
ferent thing on tin ro appoamuoo.
Tiib Washington correspondent of the
New Yolk Sun % writing January 1, nays:
"Tho Treasury Depart moot stahles is not
tho o.dy ustab.ishmont of tho kind boro
for tim benefit of oillciala. There are
two stable* for horses at the Capitol in
which tho teams of Senators and Ropro
Montatives ure kept, the expense being
charged to the contingent funds of the
Heuato and House. Tho drivers And
footmen of Congressmen are placed on
the roll* of the two houses, and paid in
amendments as will give each county a
delegate without Rwelliug the number to
five or six hundred. This mode of amend
ing the constitution# adopted under the
pressure of “Reconstruction" has been
successfully resorted to in North Carolina
and West Virginia recently. In North
Carolina eight distinct amendments were
at one election submitted to the people,
voted upon separately, and all adopted,
to tho essential bettering of tho Constitu
tion. Why can we not for the present
pursue the same coarse iu Georgia, and
thus obtaiu such amendments as may be
urgently needed ?
As to the question of removing the seat
of government, which appears to be stir
ring up the most interest now, that is a
matter which, we think, had .better be
determined by tho popular vote before a
Convention is hold, for it would intro
duce into a new Constitution a local con
test which would prevent a full and fair
expression of the popular will upon ques
tions of more general importance. Let
that vexed question be settled first, by
direct submission to the people, and the
inakiog of a good and uceeptable Consti
tution will he much easier for having
gotten rid of it.
—An “anti-grab league" has been form
ed in Caldwell, Ohio, and it moves for a
national “anti-grab convention" at Chica
go, on the 7th of May. The idea meets
with favor, and the convention promises
to be largo. Back pay members of Con
gress will please take notice and govorn
themselves accordingly.

v«y.
WHOSK FAULT ?
In many parts of Alabama farmers are
compelled to sell their stock—tbeir draught
animals— in order to keep their families
from starving; so that the approaching
spring will #e# them not only without seed,
bnt the means of working their ground. In
tho counties immediately around Mont-
gomery tho laborers are flying to the
West, and plantations in one year are re
duced in value two hundred per cent.
The planters are disheartened, and for
getting their hopes of wealth and freedom
from debt, are now absorbed with the
oue thought of preservation for them
selves and little ones. A stranger hear
ing of this would at once come to tho con
clusion that tho land had been visited by a
famine, or that Homo climatic chango or
govornmeutal tyranny bad rendered the
country nniuhabitahlo or untenable; but
he would be mistaken. Visit tho sec
tions now so indicative of poverty, and
from which the people aro flying in Ala
bama and Georgia, and you will llnd they
aro the places above all others whore na
ture seoma to havo been most lavish of
her gifts. A sky whore tho heat of the
tropics and the cooler atmoHphore of high
er latitudes blend to make a climate unsur
passed, where tho winters are soft and
balmy as a Northern spring, and the sum
mers toned by tho winds from neighbor
ing wators so that sun strokes nro nn-
hourd of, and men cau work out
doors dressed in the same garbs
iu July that they wear in December. A
land so gently undulating as to bo natu
rally well drained, and whore no morasses
breed pestilonco. A land of navigablo
rivers, flne streams and cloar spriugs, by
whose margins tho finest timbers of com
nierce grow in their unrivalled excellence
A bind with a soil so nearly iuexhaustiblo
in its fertility that only sinful prodigality
could woakon it; where tho Northern
corcnls and Southern fruits onn be raised
with profit side byaido, and whore a plow
could bo driven through tho rich earth
overy month in tbo year. This is tho
place where poverty has now tnkon up
bor abode, and above which desolation is
brooding. There has been no cause for
famine in this land as a stranger might
MiippoAO, for wherever food was planted
tho harvest has repaid tho laborer; but
tho meu who own tbo land, in tho face of
the touchings of Providence, plantod their
rich Holds in one crop, behoving tboy
could buy their moat and broad cheaper
in tho Northwest, imagining thoy could
clothe their families, pay their debts and
lay by money by putting in ovory acre iu
cotton, and to make their success greater
thoy ran iu debt for tho very food of their
families and bauds. But the cotton crop
failed, and, liko an Egyptian plague
desolation is following to reap the siuful
harvest of improvidence. It makes us sad
to chronicle theso facts, but wo would
havo the lesson thoy teach siuk deep in
the heart of ovory man who lives by tho
cultivation of tho soil. Until tho peoplo
of this cottou belt soil more oach year
than thoy buy, thoy will grow poorer and
poorer. One by one thoy will leave or I
die out, uud nature will redeem her do-
mnin and hold it in trust for a people u
who will oouio to possess and prosper by
obedience to her laws. Thousands who , 1,1
huvo to buy their food this spring are
wisely preparing to make their farms self-
sustaining, even if cotton should ho a
porpetual failure ; and there are others,

DRY COODS.
Tn# Cllucli couuty mooting, which
passed resolutions favoring tho immediate
call of a State Coiiatitutioual Convention,
named the following a* oimnidorutiumi re
quiring it: The prewont Constitution wa*
not adopted by tho free voice of the poo-
plo; tho capital justly belongs to Milledg-
ville; the old judicial Hyatein, with it*
shorter terms, ought to l>o returned to ;
elector* should reside twelve month* iu
tho State and six months iu the county ;
State aid tu ntihends should he prohib
ited; payment «>f the “bogus bonds"
should bo prohibited by tho Constitution ;
short annual sessions of the Legislature
should ho provided for and tho per diem
fixed at five dollars.
Seven of tho so-called Ku-Klux prison
ers, currried from Coosa county to Mont
gomery, wore discharged on Weduosday,
during the progress of the investigation
before U. S. Commissioner Grosser.
There wore a number of witnesses exam
ined on that day. The case has no rela
tion whatever to party politics. Tho
uXein says that “tho whole thing grew out
of u land trade, in whichsomo had feelings
were engendered—an arbitration which
did not give satisfaction ; malicious pros
edition, iu which the crime of incest i*
hinted at ; a few uniuteligible slips of
paper posted hero and there about tho
premises of llobinsou, tar and feathers,
orders to quit the community or take the
oonsoqnenceH, shot at with cow peas, ku-
blux gov. us, and n mass of heterogonoous
twaddle in which tho b gal acumen of for
ty Phil.ibdphia lawyeis would be exhaust
ed in making h oVar thing of it.
The l':ke county “Grangers," at a late
meeting, passed the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the Grangers and farm
ers of Pike rocommeud tho farmers not to
plant more than one-third of thoir crops
tho ensuing year iu cottou.
Resolved, That wo recommend our
farmers to use more economy in tho uso
of fertilizers, and if possible to pay the
cash fur the same. We further recom
mend that they use a liberal portion of it
on their corn.
Resolved, 1 hat wo deprecate this whole
sale bonding for provisions. We farther
recommend that the Legislature modify
or repeal the lieu law as early as possible,
as wo bolieve it should ho stricken from
tho statute within twelve months.
Resolved, That the homestead is en
tirely loo large, aud should be modified.
We, therefore, call the attention of tiie
proper uQtboriiies to tt.

These narrow-minded men, like tho gam-I
biers nt faro, may win once or twice, but ]
just *o surely as they continue ruin will
ooiuo, und the fall will be ull tho greater
for the tempting promises of success.
The time has ooiuo for our farmers to
consider the iuipnidouco of depending on
one crop, aud when they must carefully
consider tho capabilities of thoir soil and
climate, and use both for tho production
of tho greatest possible variety of crops.
When this course is persisted in the good
effect* of it will bo ween in tho greater
comfort of the farmer and tho higher
value of his land* ; nnd lubor instead of
louviug will flock bore for profitable em
ployment.
Till: FOXYF.XTIOX «*i r..STION
Tho repeated failures to get up public
meotiugs in Augusta uud Athens, to con
sider the question of calling a Constitu
tional Convention, show that it is a mat
ter which is not engaging much popular
interest, except in certain localities. Wo
bolieve that no large meeting to consider
the subject has yet boon held, except iu
Wilkes county, and wo imngino that the
opportunity of honriug a speech from.Oon.
Toombs was tho chief attraction that call
ed tho people out on that occasion. It is
manifestly uuwiHO to pres* the question
when the popular indifferonco is so appa
rent, and we thiuk tho sliui meetiugs iu
Augusta and Atheus acted very proporly
in declining to express an opinion.
A small meeting iu Clinch county is re
ported as having acted in a more positive
manner—in favor of a Convention. Clinch
is oue of tho small counties, which would
oithor bo denied sepoiato representation
in tho Convention, or its delegate would
have a very small share of power in a
body composed of five or six hundred dol
egate*. Uorbap* its meeting failed to take
into its deliberations tho fact that the del
egates are required by the new Constitu
tion to be apportioned to population, and
not to couuty organizations.
Several of our exohangos, opposed to
the immediate convocation ol a Conven
tion, havo directed atteutiou to the alter
native which wo presented in a late
article—that of giving up separate county
representation or calling a Convention bo
large as to make it an extraordinarily nu
merous and expensive body. No paper
in favor of an early Convention has show n
how the difficulty can be avoided, or has
iodicated a preference hetweeu the two
alternatives. We do not believe that there
is auy escape from this difficulty.
It may be asked, is there no relief from
difficulties which the Convention of IdC8
interposed with the evident design of
preventing amendments of its Coostitu*
tion ? We cannot see any, except a resort
for the present to the other mode
of ameudmeut—that of submitting the
propositions separately to a direot vote of
the people—and in tAw xcag effecting eueh
