SATURDAY JANUARY 17, 1874.
The Congressional Goumiitteo on War
Claim*, on Mooday, beard ex-Senator
Henry S. Foote, Mr. John Wilaon, for
merly Third Auditor, and the Rev. D.
Abbey, in support of tbo claim of the
Publishing Houso of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, for compensation for tbo
use of its property at Nashville, in 1H«>4
and 1865. Tbo committee decided to
postpone the further hearing of testimo
ny, in order to consider first certain legal
propositions involved in the oaso.
A few words may bo neodod to explain
to the reader the apparent inconsistency
of Governor Davis, of Texas, in offering
no opposition to the assembling and ac
tion of the new Legi .l&luro, but at the
a&tuo time resisting the installation of the
new State officers elect. Davis claims that
his constitutional term lasts until the 28th
of April next, and while now acquiescing
in Coke’s succession after that time, dis
putes his right to the office until then.
That’s the way we understand it.
Accobdikq to a Washington dispatch of
the 11th to the New York Tribune, the
vote of the Senate on tho confirmation of
Gushing as Chief Justice, had a vote been
taken, would Imvo stood about, as follows:
Yeas 20, nays .17. Tho dispatoh states tho
probable vote of each Senator, and puts
all tho Democrats and Messrs. Sumner
and Hamilton of Texas (Liberals), and
Arnes and Rout well (Republicans), in tbo
yeas ; and all tho other Administration
Senators, with Schurz (Liberal), in tho
negative.
The bill to repoul tho Salary Grub,
which has panned both bronchos of Con
gress, repeals tho iucreaso of tho pay of
members of Congress, but not of tho
1‘roHident and Supreme Court Judges,
and restores tho Congressional salaries as
they were before the Grab act wuh passed.
It also provides that all the increase of
Congressional pay w hich has not yet boon
drawn, ami all which lias been restored,
shall be “covered into the Treasury" and
not subject to the demand of tho inotn-
bors. it mnkes no provision for tho res
toration of fnerensod pay already drawn
and still retained.
The Radical papera have exulted groatly
over the speoeli of Elliott, of South Caro
lina, on tho Civil Rights bill, in reply to
Stephens, of Georgia. They Kay that it
proved conclusively that the negro is tho
intellectual equal of tho wbito man. Wo
did not feel much disconcerted about this,
for wo know that it would require a groat
many of such speeches to convince tho
poople of tho South ( who know tho negro
bout > of tho equality boasted of. Hut now
comes tho oruol statement that Ron llut-
ler wuh tho writor of Elliotts spoech, and
we fear thut tho disclosure will not bo ns
comforting to our Radical frionds as was
tbo delusion that caused them to throw
up their caps so enthusiastically for the
colored representative from Johu 0. Cal
houn’s old district.
“HOW Tilt: 40.\«TITITI0* CAN
lit: AMENDED."
Wo refer tho render to an artiolo under
tho above caption, which wo copy from
tho Augusta ('hronicle iP Sentinel.
We are convinced that our generally
vigilant cotemporary at Augusta did not
have tho new Constitution of Georgia at
hand when tho article wuh penned, be
cause it certainly does confer on tho Leg
islature tho power to call a Convention,
at least by necessary implication. It only
prohibits tho Legislature from disqualify
ing any person to vote for delegates to
the Convention. Accordingly wo see
that a resolution culling a Convention has
already beeujintroddoed into tho Legisla
ture; and it does not submit tho question
of making the call to tho poople, as tho
Chronicle supposed to he tho programme
of theme favoring a Convention.
Equally mistaken is our ootemporary iu
thu notion that it would take four years’
time to amend the Constitution by sub
mitting amendments to a direct voto of
tho people. They huvo first to ho passed
by a two-thirds voto of two snootasive
Legislatures. Tho Legislature now in
session could pass them within thirty
days ; the next Legislature (to be elected
in November of this year> could pass
them next Jununry, and that would make
two successive Legislatures. Tho people
could voto on them within a month or two
afterwards, and thus tho amendments
could bo finally adopted oven sooner than
by the Chronicles programme of tuking a
vote of the people on tho question of
calling, u Convention in October next,
electing tho delegates shortly afterwards,
and holding tho Convention timing the
following winter or spring.
The resolution introduced into the Leg
islature ignores or violates the soot ion of
the Constitution which prescribes that
representation in tho Convoatiou shall he
based on population ; and the Chronisle
overlooks our late notice of this require
ment. Wo invito its attention to this eon
stitutional requirement, which presouti
this alternative Must wo hold a conven
tion which, if it gives Calhoun, Pierce,
Glasscock, Ac., one delegate each, must
give Chatham 30, Richmond 20, and other
largo counties iu proportion; or had wo
not better avoid this dilficnlty for the
present by submitting desirable amend
ments to the popular vote without the in
tervention of a convention ? We can ob
tain a vote of the people on amendments
submitted by the Legislature, within four
teen or fifteen mouths from this time,
and at very little expense; but to hold u
convention of six or seven hundred dele
gates, with tho added expense of a special
elootiou, would probably coat half a mil
lion of dollars. That’s tho proposition at
issue, so fur as it iuvolves tho question of
economy.
—The Tarboro Enquirer atul Souther
ner says : Mr. G. G. Gill, uf Franklin
county has fed twenty-one persons every
year since tbo war ‘and has not bought
a pound of bacon or a bushel of corn du-
riiiB tho whole time. Ho has not .old a

A (on trim I of tliclr Flimnclwl Con
dition.
The Rtate of Georgia had her three
years’ rule of Bullock and his party of
plunderers, and for Reason profligacy
and corruption had almost as unchecked
sway here as in any other Southern State.
It is true that parties wero closely di
vided, opposition was stout and deter
mined, and once or twice tho Conserva
tive elements mustered a majority against
tho worst measures proposed. But on
such occasions tho military stepped in to
tho aid of tho Bullock government, and
opposition was overcome. The expendi
tures were greatly increased, but tho
State was not inextricably involved ; a
brake was applied to tho wbools oa seve
ral critical occasions, and tho mud career
of destruction impeded. After getting
rid of Bullock and his oxtravagance, tho
uow Executive and Legislators applied
themselves earnestly to tho work of extri
cating tbo finances of the State from the
confusion and embarrassment in which
they found them, retrenching expendi
ture?*, holding officials to u stricter ac
count, and organizing system and ac
countability in every department of the
government. The mult is the gratifying
financial condition of Georgia to-day, as
exhibited by the reports of her Executive
officers.
It is our purpose to contrast tho condi
tion of Georgia with that of Month Caro
lina and Alabama, flanking her on tho
oast and west—States in which tho men
who own tho land and pay tho taxes are
still deprived of tho management of their
own public interests—to show how groatly
good or had government can affect tho
solvency, credit and advancement of a
State, and lesson or increase tho burdens
of its poople.
Tho total current expenses of tho Stato
Government of Goorgia for the year
1873 (exclusive of old debts paid and in
terest and principal of tho public dobt)
wero $620,200. Tho fotul expenses of
tho State Government of South Carolina
for the same poriod, embracing only tho
same itomH of expenditure, wero $1,717,-
318! The total expenditures of the Gov
ernment of Alabama for tho sniuo period
and tho sonio purposes, wero $704,569.
The General Assembly of Georgia num
bers about twice ns many members as
either of that South Carolina or that of
Alabama; but the expenses of tho session
of tho Legislature of Goorgia next pro-
ceding tho reports was only $97,280, while
that of South Carolina was $291,339, and
that of Alabama $156.622. Tho avorago
per diem pay of members of the Legisla
ture of Georgia for tho wholo session was
$294 ; of tho members of tho Legislature
of Alabama, $904. Wo have not the data
to enable us to give tho avorago for South
Carolina members, but tho total is sulfi-
cioutly suggostivo.
Tho “oftioors" of tbo Houso of Repre
sentatives of Aluhama would have formed
a full military oompuny by thomsolves.
They mustered 77 iu number—almost us
large as tho roll of members of tbo House!
There wero scores of dorks of tho llouso
aud of (JomfhitteoR; cloven Scrgounts and
Assistant Sergeants at Arms ; eight Door
keepers and Assistants ; six Dagos ; sovou
Mcsscngeis; six “Attendants” (whatever
they may he) drawing $1500 for thoir ser
vices ; and four “Eiromou," paid $1222
for* putting on fuel during tho Kossion !
Tho “officers" of tho Souato numbered
44, boing 11 more than tho number of
Sonators—each Senator having one “offi
cer ’ and a third to help him legislutao
for tho good of tho State. The Pages
uud “Attendants”-of tho Senate woro ovon
more numerous than those of tho Houso.
It is evident that most of these “officers”
wero elected or appointed to their poni-
tious merely to give them pay out of the
public treasury or to reward them for the
dirty work of party. That’s tho way that
the expenses of tho session ran up to so
high a figuro, aud that’s tho liborul way iu
whieh tho people’s money is squandered.
In the expenditures of Georgia, inclu
ded above, was $250,000 for tho public
schools; iu Alabama, only $151,213 for
that object. Georgia also spent $139,500
of tho amount above named for tho sup
port of her University, Lunatic Asylum,
Deaf and Dumb Asylum uud Academy for
tbo Bliud; Alabama only $86,054 for
those objects. South Carolina, out of
her immonso total expenses of $1,717,-
318, bestowed $361,101 on schools, $117,-
253 on the Lunatic Asylum and $11,179
ou the Deaf and Dumb—leaving $1,227,-
785 i^or more than three times that of
Georgia) to be squandered in support of
tho other branches of tho Stato Govern
ment.
In Georgia, tho State tax is 4-lOths of
ono por oent. ; in Alabama, h of ono per
cent. ; and in South Carolina, 1 cent and
rt-lOths. In Georgia, this tax is deemed
amply sufficient to pay tho expenses of
the State Government, tho inlorest on
the public debt, and to provide for pay
ing the principal of the bonded debt as
fast ns it falls due. In Alabama, it falls
short of meeting the obligations of the
State; and in South Carolina, it appoars
to bo all squandered without paying a
dollar of principal or interest.
Tho above figures and comparisons
ought to be sufficient to satisfy any man
that to secure the blessings of good and
economical government, its atTuirs must
be administered by meu directly aud deep
ly interested in having such a govern
ment ; that tho men who own tho land
uud pay the taxes ought to rule the land
uud regulate its public economies. Thero
! is no other gunrauty against public pluu-
j der, oppressive taxation, reckless extravn-
! fiance, and the general eucouragemeut of
! rascality.
— The graugors in Mississippi have nn-
! dertuken to regulate the purchaso and sale
| of the supplies and productions of their
members through agencios of the aasocia-
| tion. The llolly Spriugs Reporter says
| that four purchasing sgoucios have been
I appoiutod by tho Stato Grango to make
1 purchases for tho granges throughout
the State. Now Orleans, St. Louis,
Louisville aud Memphis are the four cities
in which tho ageuoios arc located. Tho
j Jicjforter says that the agency of tho
grangers will not ship cotton to Mew-
i phis, because that city has not advanced
! money to obtain it; that Memphis and
New Orleans woro ahko applied to; Mem-
I phis was not able to respond; New Or
leans was; oousequoutly the cotton has
thus been controlled by that market.
OI K ItOYN.
“I have worked hard all my life, and I
never had no education, though I’ve felt
tho want of it right smart. But I've laid
by enough to give my bojH a good lamin’,
and I’m dotarmined they won't have to
work hard, early and late, like mo.” Thus
many a father in the land, who has accn-
piulated a competency, is talking to-day ;
yet, despite the competency, he continues
to work—first, because ho would not be
happy idle, but mainly, be thinks to leave
his children well off. The old man, it is
true, feels somehow that ho is inferior to
hiH children ; for, when they aro home
from college for tbo holidays, they aro so
woll dressed, they use such superior lan
guage, and feel at times, when visitors of
their class aro prosent, so ashamed of tho
bluff manners of thoir father, whom they
undertake to lecture on behavior in pri
vate, that tho poor follow feels ho has
sacrificed his comfort in his children to
his pride. Ho comforts himself with the
thought that William—housed to call him
“Bill’’ before ho wont to college—will be
a great lawyor ; that Thomas—“Tom" of 1
old—will bo a wonderful physician ; and
that Lucinda—once “Siudy”—will be on
accomplished woman, and tho wifo of a
Cabinet officer, at least. Ilis good wife
shares his ambition ; aud it is a noble
impulse, and a holy otVection, that leads
tho parents to sacrifice tho solid comforts
of thoir old age to tho supposed advantage
of their children.
If wo could oontiuue the history of
many families of which this ideal ono is
a type, we would see the old folks pass
ing away and the property accumulated
through long yours divided between tho
lawyor, doctor and sister. In throo cases
out of four childreu ho educated squander
thoir inheritance before they roach mid
dle life. Tho lawyer having a compe
tency has uo incentive to work and
study; tho doctor is a gontloman of
leisure, rejoicing ouly in his litlo; and Lu-
oinda marries an adventurer with long
hair and u waxed moustache, and throo
families proceed to have a good tirno on
the old man’s wealth. You can look
about you and couut a score of families
to which such an illustration would be
applicable, and tho causo lies in tho de
fective education of the cbiklron. By
this wo do not mean that u superior edu
cation disqualifies a man for tho battle of
life, but tho imporfect education does,aud
tho truiuing of uiue-tonths of “our boys”
is radically dofoctive, aud iu a greater de
gree tho same is true of “our girls.” The
education that is not practical is like the
tluted edges of a miuco pio—very good
for ornament, but not at all essential to
tho purposes of enjoyment and digostion.
No man is or can bo educated, whose
head, hand aud heart have not been
equully trained, and no boy can travel the
right road who is not made to feel the
dignity of labor from his earliest years,
and taught to look forward to a lifo of
useful, manly work, whether it bo in the
calling of his father or some other, and
thero is no calling that cannot bo bettor
pursued by a man who has a sound edu
cated mind in a sound well dcvolopod
body. The Gormans of every class so
oducate thoir children that every man
from prineo to poasaut cun live by tho
labor of his own hands, and become, if
nood bo, a producer. Wero this rule
adoptod hero, wo would have l ower young
men unemployed; fewer aspirants iu
the already overcrowded professions.
But tho majority of our far
mers’ sons huvo a distasto for
tho calling of their fathors, and they look
forward hopefully to tho tirno when they
can get roiuo position in tho city thut will
not roquiro them to havo hard hands aud
sunburned faces, those badges royal that
nature stamps ou hor order of gentlemen.
“Our hoys” aro not to blumo for this.
Thoir parents have been yearly decrying
tho calling of agriculture, and leading
them to think tho cultivation of tho soil
an unmanly drudgery, and tho boys so
trained woro simply qualified to fill tho
army of consumers. It is so iu the me
chanical calling*; tut few mechanics
train their sons to take their places, and
fewer still is tho number of young men
who to-day nro learning trades in this
land. Wo havo granges, trades unions,
andco-operutivo organizations to promote
agriculture and mechanics; but tho great
and all important question thut involves
the futuro of this land bus not been prop
erly considered, ami that is tho wise and
judicious education of “our boys.”
From tho Augusta Chioniclo, 13th.J
How the t’oiifctltution Can bo
Amended.
Tho Columbus Fnquiuek thinks tho
best way to amend tho Constitution is by
submitting tho amendments to a direct
voto of tho pooplo without holding a Con
vention. This cannot bo done. Tho
framers of tho Bullock Constitution wero
too sharp to allow thoir work to bo done
away with in so simple and easy a man
ner. They dotorminud to rouder any
chungo of the instrument difficult of ac
complishment. To that end they fixed
but two ways by which atueudmeut is pos
sible. Tho first is to call a Convention—
but this “would cost too much money,”
aud tho “time is unpropitiouB." The
second is by a tiro-thirds vote of tiro
successive Legislatures aud subse
quent ratification by a voto of tho
people. To pass an amendment in
this way would take about four
years’ time, and would bo almost an im
possibility. We desire to ask ouo pluiu
question to those gentlemen aud those
journals who think the time inopportune
tor doing away with the Bullock Consti
tution, and to those who thiuk it will cost
too much to do away with the Bullock
Constitution. We ask them, if tho people
of Georgia nro not the ouly persons com
petent to decide both as to the fitness of
tune aud tho oxpouse ? Wo hold that tho
people of Georgia constitute the only tri
bunal capable of passing upon those ques
tions, and that thoir decision must be ren
dered at the ballot-box. All that the ad
vocates of a Convention havo asked is
that tbo Legislature submit to a vote of
the poople tho question—Convention or
No Convention. Not a single oppo
nent of the measure has dared te
meet the issue in this shape. They
have artfully avoidod it, and made
their fight upon irrelevant matters. It
is not a question of expense, not a ques
tion of time. It is simply, shall the
people decide the matter tor themselves.
The Legislature is not asked to call a
Convention. It has no authority to call
oae. It is uot asked to deci lo whether it
is right or expedient to hold one. It has
no right to bind the State iu such a case
by any expression of opinion. The Leg
islature is the executive of tho people,
aud it is bound to submit such an issue to
the peoplo for their decisiou. The eoo-
nomical men, who wish the State Treas
ury left unguarded because it will cost
something to put a lock on the door, may
raise again the cry of “expense.” But it
is easily answered. An expression of the
will of the people can be obtained without
the expenditure of a dollar. An election
for members of the Legislature will be
held next October. At the same time the
Convention question can be determined.
But it can only be determined in this way.
