Ww uiutm-Htnii'l 14 to be a sound rule
lnluwthatovorym.m is entitled to
ball In ull cases, provided the proper
authority comes to the conclusion
that a bond will secure the prisoner’s
presence to stand a final trial. It is
eminently proper that such should
he the law, yet, It is unusual to place
u man on bond charged with murder,
when all the evidence makes his
guilt certain. The reason why, Is
found in the fact that when his life
or liberty is tu iininoat danger, it Is
only natural that a man should avoid
It by escape.
With this idea, we llnduo.objectlon
in the hailing of the parties charged
with murdering Col. O. H. Holland,
provided the Court trying the case is
satisfied that the tmml Witt briny them
to trml. Wo express no opinion on the
matter, as that Court is alone respon
sible for it# conduct. Hut while on
tills subject, would it be inappropri- j
ate to suggest, that “consistency, thou
art a jewel.”
We, In common with tlio commu
nity, recollect full well that not long '
since a young roan, a stranger almost
to the community, was charged a# an
(koemory to a murder. Witnesses
were Introduced, and they could only
swear he was in company with Ids
brother, who shot an officer. The |
proof declared he did not lire a shot,
and wtiW on his way home. What be
tgyto of iiis application for bail? The
record "will show that bail was re
fused, notwithstanding ho could give
bail for ten thousand dollars. Now
bail was refused, and the bail was in j
the discretion of the Court. 8o in i
this case of yesterday, the difference |
was that every witness swore to the
fact that the parties on trial shot lirsl
and hint, and all agree that it was a
premeditated murder. This case, In
t hat discretion, was bailed.
Wo have no objection, as tlrst sta
ted, to the decision, but wo cannot
but recall the expression, “consisten
cy, thou art a jewel.” Why Is it thus?
Echo answers, “why?”

Paris, March SO.-—A decree has been
issued tor prohibiting the importation of
American potatoes, er sacks or barrels in
which they hft<l been parked. This is ilone
to provide against the introduction of the
(ktfbrado btHdle.
When Proctor Knott, of Kentucky,
or ,S. 8. Cox, of New York we forget
wlilch of the two it was—essayed to
ridicule the Agricultural Bureau out
Of existence, a few years ago, by a
humorous criticism on the report of
the entomologist, concerning a hoy,
which was defined to he a humbug
by the sapient wit, he overreached
himself. The average lawyer can’t
rise above the piano of knowledge
embraced in law books, and seems to
despise the other vast fields of -infor
mation. Pew fields of scientific in
vestigation have a more practical
bt'ariug upon the welfare of people
t bun the science of entomology. Ihe
scientific societies of Paris are un
eciuallod In the world, and their prac
tical benefit to the country is illus
trated by the above telegram.
The efforts of Mr. Riley, the State
Entomologist of the State of Missouri,
led to the general application of Paris
green to potatoes and other crops in
order to destroy the Colorado beetle,
or potato bug. This saved an im
mense sum to the farmers of Missouri.
When our Georgia legislators will
give a little of the valuable time
wasted on discussing bills of “cross
road” or exclusively local importance
to the consideration of such subjects
as entomology, perhaps wo will have
a State Entomologist. If a compe
tent mail was appointed, we believe a
way might bo devised to destroy, or
at least lessen the ravages of, the
A cotton caterpillar, and thus save mil-
I lion* to the planters annually. And
" this would be but one result of ids
researches.
The Frankfort . lonnnil, a German
paper published at Frankfort-on-t lie-
Maine, has the following surprising
bit of American news:
“X’residout Grant, as is generally
known, has a great predilection ba
the military, and, what is less great,
but more human, a predilection like
wise for a good life-long salary, in
connection with these propensities, a
rumor is in- circulation which has
found belief, to the effect that Grant
is going to resign the Presidency, un
der the condition that Vice President
Wilson, who will then be President,
shall nominate him for field-marshal,
an office to be expressly created by
Congress with this in view. The po
sition of field-marshal is to be a life
office, with a large salary appertain
ing thereto. Field Marshal Grant,
we salute you.”
The Ignorance of the people of Eu
rope concern lug American affairs is
somotimes amusing. An intelligent
gentleman once asked the writer.
whUfl Ip Edinburgh, if the President
did not appoint the Vice President,
And a Professor Maeearesi in the
College of Koine, a master of seven
languages, expressed surprise that
Cuba was not one of the States of the
United States. The above “bit of
American news” can not be consid
ered surprising when such facts as
those instanced above are true.
Wf. learn that Colonel Wharton
has been appointed Adjutant Gener
al, vice General Street, and not Super
intendent of police, as reported. We
have uo doubt but what General
Wharton will give general satisfaction
in his new position, and fulfil the
duties incumbent upon him with
zeal.—A". O. Bulletin.
The many soldiers who fought un
der General Wharton will be glad to
know where he is and what our gal
lant commander is doing.
t X> Plan at Uovernmrnt.
A joint resolution has been intro- ;
dueed into the Illinois Legislature by
one of tho members- -Mr. Herroa— in
structing the Senator* and Kepresen- j
tatlvesof that State in Congress to
propose as an amendment to the < on
(dilution that “the Executive power
shall be vested in a Cabinet, the chief
I of which shall be styled an Exeeu-j
tive, und sliall bo chosen by the House j
of Representatives from among the
members thereof, upon tho nomina
tion of the Speaker or some other per- 1
son designated by law. He shall re-;
tiro from office and give place to his
I successor upon a vote of non-con 11-,
! donee by both Houses of Congress,
! provided that upon such vote of non
i oonfideuey he shall have power, in
his discretion, to declare a dissolu
lion of tho House. Thereupon a now
election for Representatives will take
place, but the Executive shall not
dissolve the House upon a declare- .
tion of non-concurrence affirmed Gy
the country In the return of anew;
House. The House shall consist of
members chosen by the people of the
several States, to servo for the term
of three years unless tin* term beeud
od before tho expiration of three
youra by u. dissolution of tin* House
by the Executive.” Tills resolution
was, after debate, referred to the Com
mittee of the Whole by a large ma
■* A late writer in the North Ameri
can He.rieui suggested something of
the character of the proposed amend
ment, and It was followed by a series
of articles in a Chicago paper. The
idea is tho substitution of a system
analagous to that which obtains in ,
England, minus the hereditary moil-;
aroli. The President, or “the Exeeu
tive,” as he if. called here, is a mem
her of the House of Representatives, !
chosen by tho majority, and us soon
las lie ceases to represent the majori- j
I ty he has the privilege of appealing ■
|to the country by dissolving the |
I House, and, if the people do not sus-
I tain him by electing anew House in
! accordance with his views, he is to
i give way, and a successor in harmony
with tlie new body is to be chosen.
Wo are not at all sure that the idea
is Utopian, but we do not believe that
such is the present tendency of af
fairs. That tendency is rather to the
concentration of power in the hands
jof the President. The English gov
ernment is the most durable in exist
ence, and lias perfected the highest
j civilization known to modern times,
j While thinking of the different plans
of government, that of John C. Cal
j iiouu recurs to us. Mr. Calhoun’s >
j idea if we remember correctly - was !
to have tho wealth of the country rep
resented in the Senate, and let popu
lar suffrage elect the members of the
lower House of Delegates. A proper
ty limitation was thus imposed on
the members of the Senate. In Italy,
at present and, if we are not mis
taken, in France, during the reign of
the Emperor Napoleon 111., the Sen
ators arc appointed by the Monarch
for life, and the Deputies are elected
by the people. We think Mr. Cal
houn's idea was, perhaps, the fairest
mode, since, under our present sys
tem, property is not fairly represent
ed. Would it not bo well for the Leg
islatures of the Southern States to
impose both a property and educa
tional limitation to the right of suf
frage? The present unjust tax im
posed upon the whites to educate the
blacks would not then obtain. The
inducement for the accumulation of
property and the acquirement, of tho
rudiments of education would be
vastly increased. Suffrage is tho
most dangerous implement to put
into the hands < >f the ignorant masses,
and the only way to enable them to
realize its privileges and responsibil
ities is to give them education. The
present mode of educating them is
unjust to the whites.
Harrows.
Now that corn planting is at hand,
it is proper to suggest that this im
plement is too much neglected
in the Southern States. To the
truly economical farmer it is
indispensable. For very stiff
clay lands, which have been in
jured by plowing when too wet or by
tin) hoofs of cattle which a mistaken
policy allows to tread our best bottom
lands in winter until they are render
ed cloddy and hard nothing so
quickly pulverizes these clods as a
roller made of rails.
Fasten four rails together and
stand on them, then drive a pair of
mules pulling this rail-harrow and
you will pulverize the stoutest clod.
Then comes the true use of the liar
row as n rulticatnr. The most impor
tant thing in corn culture is to pre
pare your land before planting al
most as thoroughly as you would a
turnip field. After corn is up you
| can cultivate it twice with the Thom
as smoothing burrow. The writer,
who has lived on his plantation for
years since the war, and lias superiu
! tended his own business, made fifty
j bushels corn per acre last year witli
| out tlie use of the hoe. He did all
i the harrowing himself, driving two
I horses attached to the Thomas
j smoothing harrow across the field
i and over the young corn, which at
the last, plowing was a foot high.
Hoes are rarely used in tlie rich West
ern States, where they make from
| sixty to one hundred bushels corn
j per acre. The Thomas harrow takes
(seven foot at a time, and kills the
. young grass effectually. The teeth
are very small, are of steel, and set
j backward. Wo have used several va
rieties, and prefer the “Thomas” to
the Nislnvitz or any oilier. It is not
suitable to heavy, cloddy land. Like
the mowing machine it requires
thorough plowing before it will do
its best. In North Georgia we put in
our clover and grass crops with it,
and often cover small grain with it
also. It is a most valuable adjunct
to the farmer who wishes to follow
the intensive system of cultivating a
great many acres with a very few
hands.

SOME POLICEMEN WE CAN'T SPARE KiIX
INO POLICEMEN FOR SALE CHEAP.
Nearly every paper in the State is!
commenting on tho tragedy recently
enacted in this city. We have clip
ped out a few of tiie opinions which
have been expressed. Those we give
illustrate the nature of all tlie other. .
Tlie people seem to be taking a deep
interest in this matter, and forming i
their opinions to suit themselves:
Tho Macon Teleyruph and Messenger j
says:
“It is in evidence that Cash, after
shooting Holland, exclaimed, ‘Oh!
dam you, I’ve got you!’ .Vice police-:
nuiu that."
The Savannah Xros says:
“The Columbus policemen - hoot a
man down for shutting hiseyes when
takes a chew of tobacco. They
arc bound to have order in that
town.”
Tho Atlanta Acer# express'-, its con
victions thusly:
"Col. O. S. Holland, a high-toned
and honorable gentleman, and lute
Colonel in tho Confederate army, w.i
waylaid, brutally, and almost install -'
taneously killed by two desperadoes;
on tlm Columbus police, on Monday!
last.
Tlie Savannah .Vries again :
“Columbus is getting to be entirely
too quiet. The police have killed no
one during the past twelve hours.”
The Mi jiiwether county I'lnd'untor
blows a slight blast in the following
stylo:
“O. H. Holland was cruelly murdered
in Columbus on Monday. Major A.
It. Calhoun is said tobnattlm bottom
of 1 he murder.”
Here conics Harris of the Netc*
again:
“Unto tlie hour of s’, 'in,’ to pres
tho Cidumbus jxiliee had not .b-i. cti...|
their next victim."
The A’etfs s|>caks once more:
“Columbus is a nice quiet town for
invalids.”
The Dadevillo Headlight says: “Co-!
lumbus Georffia if sin’ contnucs will
soon Kct. her name up for the ty rentes t
city for murder in the Southern ;
States.”
The Russoll (Ala.) Uean-der speaks
out in half a column; the following
arc extracts from the article: “Wo|
will not attempt to trace the original
of tills lamentable allair. But we
reflect, the general expression when!
we say that when deceased enoonter
ed the Cashes lie had no intention or
anticipation of a mortal difficulty.
The authors of his death are In lb ■
hands of the law, which will doubt
less be vindicated, and till connected
directly or indirectly with the bloody :
deed be brought to a stern account.
A nobler heart never heat iu manly
breast than In that of Col. Orlando S.
Holland. Hosts of friends where lie 1
was known condole with his family
in his sudden death. Peace to his j
memory.”
The LaGruugc Jlepnrter and a host i
of other journals speak in the same!
determined tones. Indeed the press
of Georgia and Alabama seems to be
unanimous on the subject.
I Since we have clipped these expres
sions of general opinion, we have
learned that Cash and McEuvhron
i are to tie re-instated on the police
force. It. is suggested by many of our
! citizens that a meeting of the people
be called aud a vigilauoe committee
j InT appointed whose special duty it
shall be to protect citizens from po
■ linemen.

: Real estate, says the New Orleans
; llnlletin, lias declined fifty per emit,
it will not bring at auction one-half
i the amount for which it is assessed
Iby the city, or by the State. Pro pert \
■ worth *IOO,OOO is taxed for *200,000
111 per cent, by the city (under State
! compulsion/ and 2 per cent, by the
State, or 11 per cent, by both, or what
| is equivalent to 9 per cent, on tlie
i actual value.
Now. when we consider the fact
'that the industries of the United
j States generally do not make more
! than from three to four per cent, net
i per annum, the assessment and tax
levied in the city of New Orleans
| amounts to practical confiscation, if
| continued.
In re Miner vs. Hoppersett, error
to Supreme Court of Missouri, an
important decision has been ren
dered. The Court says: "Tho Consti
tution of the United States does not
| confer the right of suffrage upon any
; one.” The right of suffrage is within
| the control of tlie several States.
Judge Hughes, of tlio United States
Circuit Court, District of Virginia,
decided recently that "The right to
I vote, even of citizens of the United
States, is left, even by the Fourteenth
1 amendment itself, to bo regulated
and defined by the States, which had
: always held that power." It is de
oided that a State has the right of
regulating tlie right ot suffrage in
both State and National elections.
Trade Prosneets lor ls 7 r,.
i The indications for a prosjierous
! trade during the presenriseason use
much more promising than tlio most
: sanguine anticipated. The long and
severe winter, the failure of the corn
crop in many localities last year, the
, geneyul depression in all manufactu
ring industries,are causes which it was
! supposed would have a very consid-
I erablo influence in determining the
amount of business to be transacted
by our merchants. Doubtless trade
will be more or less affected from
: such causes, but notwithstanding this
j business opens well. The patrons of
the St. Louis market are paying pre
vious indebtedness with more than
| ordinary alacrity. While there is a
degree of caution manifested by buv-
I ere and considerable strictness ob
served ill giving credits by the sellers.
; still the aggregate amount of the bu
siness transactions in St. Louis du
ring the present year, it is believed
by well-informed persons, will great
ly exceed last year’s business. More
over, an examination of the situation
| will convince any one the least in-;
I formed concerning commercial af- j
fairs that the merchants occupy a
i tinner and far safer position than |
I they have held since the panic, per- j
I hups since tlit year 1801. Prices have j
j become fixed at so low a rate that;
loss on stock is almost an impossible
• contingency,.and failures under such .
■ circumstances are among the most i
j improbable eventualities. The con
sequence is there is an exceedingly |
healthy sentiment, progressive and
safe, pervading the mercantile com- j
j munity. There is little apprehension 1
| to be felt of a sudden and unhealthy ;
| speculative feeling taking possession !
lof tho people. The business trails- j
! acted this year will bo on a conserve- j
j tive, cautious basis. St. Loui# Itr
