'How tantalizing, we were about to observe, would all this Is) to us, the unfortunates, did we not happen to bo philosophers in a modest way. We sit in our breeziest window and wonder If after all there is such a difference us might appear. The whirr of tho machinery across tho way by tho exorcise of a little imagination, Is eas'ly converted Into tho rushing of tho rapids down tho flume of the White Moun tains, and we take dowu our steroscope and enjoy that delightful locality with real good earnest.

Now the way we do, we rise at a seasona ble hour- not being larks we have no un seasonable taste about quitting the mom - procoed in a leisurely maimer to a roomy, airy breakfast-room, not confused with a hundred waiters and flvo hundred mad people making for breakfast. There ls-ing no very particular reason why we should be through tho meal at uny precise second, we drink our coffee like Christian people in quiet and ease; have time afterwards to see an Irish neighbor, whom we have been trying all the winter to find a mo ment for; look over some favorite author; received some old letters and papers that have waited for us for months.

The complaint that rents are too high seem to he raised in all parts of tho State. The Atlanta papers have harped for weeks on the theme; tho mefehants of Fort Val ley consider tJiemselves much oppressed, amt iu many other cities and towns the same plea Is made. There is a singular unanimity In this complaint, ami this world lead one at first thought to suppose that rents wore really enormous high, and that the tenants in the land were suffer ing oppression at the hands of property holders. This must have been the case in somo of the localities where the complaint was raised, for a lowering of rents has been tho result. The conclusion is not al ways Just that high rents moan oppres sion. The great law of supply and de mand is not wholly applicable to rents. True, Its application to rents Is not so plain as to other things, nor are rents as Inexorably governed by its laws. Still it is very evident that where there is a groat demand for houses and stores, and the supply is inadequate to it, rents are bound to lw high. Poople will ho willing to give more for houses than they would if the supply was greater, and the owners will lie acting In accordance with the laws of self-interest to tako just as much as they can get. In the matter of rents, us In ul most everything else, the effect of monop olies Is felt, ami from this source the only real oppression must come. Where the supply of building* is controlled by a mo nopoly or by a few owners who under stand each other, then the rate of rents is not controlled by the law of supply and demand. A disturbing cause has come hi and Interfered with the action of that law. The supply may then bo large and the de mand small and yet rents.will bo high. Monopolies aro not governed by any reg ular law. They often have a terrible pow er and they use It, oppress whom it may, so It only works to their protit. Though the complaint of high rents Is singularly unanimous, it seems very evi dent that In those places where rents are controlled by monopolies they may bo high, but tbat where no such state of af fairs exists rents must bo high because a larger number of houses are wanted than tho demand can supply and the competi tion of tenants necessarily makes rent rise and keeps It up until the supply be comes nearly equal to the demand. It seems that clamor against high rents can bo productive of little good. If they are high because of monopolies no apiioal or complaint can affect them. If they are high because of inequality in supply and demand, they are controlled by a law which eaunot be moved one jot or tittle by clamor complaining. The remedy In this case is tho building of more houses, thus producing an equalization of supply and demand. _ A Columbia* Hoy. Mr. 1). Q.

TV, AI.AK.niA, Sealls, Ala., July 1875. | At a recent informal meeting of some members of tho Executive Com ml ties of tho Democratic and Conservative party of your county, the undersigned was re* quested to publish an address to you, on tho subject of thehni>ortanco to you, with out regard to your party alliance, race or color, of carrying the election on tho 3d of August next “for convention,” am! elect ing the candidatos nominated by our late county convention. This is deem**l neces sary, because wo fear some of you may, and in fact appear to be indifferent to the grave issues Involved. All political parties in the State treat the matter of holding a constitutional conven tion ns not a party question; and really it is not, or ought not to be a party question. But for mean and sclilsh purposes, and to recover some lost ground, almost Ihe en tire body of Radical leader® in the State has seen lit to array themselves against it, regard bids of the fact that It Ik hn itera tively needed for the relief of our unfor tunate Stato and oppressed people. This conduct of tho Radicals would seem strange Indeed if it were not in k<*eping with all their past history. They are in stinctively opjM>s<xi to fair, honest and economical government; and their Idea of good government is a wild dream of power and opportunity to get money ami ruain tonance from the toiling public. The Dem ocratic and Conservative party in the State warndy favors the measure, not be cause they deem it a party question, but because it is a wise and necessary stop to ward reform In government and relief of our people. Many loading Republicans in the State and even in Russell c ounty, favor It for the same reasons. The most rabid Radical does not deny that changes an* needed in the present instrument that we will the constitution of Alabama. Then all their opposition to holding a constitu tional convention is captious, and without a Just and proper motive. For instance, one of their principal arguments against the convention, ingeniously made to load you from a proper consideration of tin subject, is that it will be a great and net*!- loss expense on the already debt-burdened people of Alabama. While this is untrue, the unspeakable bnizonness of the asser tion as coming from them shocks even those of us who have long witnessed their constant and ever varying tricks. Over seven years ago these very men, the most of them strangers to us and our institu tions, with the aid of the military forcibly overturned our State government, and un eonscientiously and coutrury to law took us in hand against our will, aud for a se ries of years, openly in the broad light ol day, deliberately and systematically plun dered us and piled up this mountain oij State debt to (IU their mm jtaekets. And now* for thorn to turn and urge our misfor tunes as a reason why we should continue them in power, is simply unparalleled in impudence, besides being crowned with falsehood. Competent and experienced men calcu late the expense of holding the convention at $43,000, and that by its alw dishing the taking of the census this year-required by tho present constitution to be taken every live yeans—and abolishing the State Board of Education, and tho offices ol Lieutenant Governor and Commissioner of Industrial ltesources, it will save us this year SBI,OOO. What becomes of the com parison when we at tempt to estimate the permanent saving to our revenue, year after year, ip the future? The tax-paying peoplo of Russell county have been trying In vain for several years to solve the problem of our county indebt edness, which is estimated at nearly forty thousand dollars. Have you reflected that, huge as this appears, it is but a small mat ter as compared witli Russell county’s quota of the Stab* debt? The State debt of Alabama Is estimated at over 928,000,000; in the State there arc sixty-five counties, among which Russell stands about 12th in population and wealth; therefore, her quota of this enormous debt is about sic hundred thousand dollars. This is the lega cy our Radical brothers left us when wo forced them to retire last year. And they aro the fellows that now offer to advise you what is best for you to do. and their crafty pamphlets and documents have been widely circulated amongst you, seek ing by every plausible means to induce you to act against your own interests and in favor of theirs. I particularly advise our colored friends to scrutinize with care these specious arguments, and by no means be further led astray by them. The people of Russell county are an ag ricultural people; at this time and for sometime past they are and have l>een extremely busy with their crops. Under these circumstances it could scarcely bo expected of you to manifest the same ac tive interest in the campaign as would be looked for from you at another season of tho year. 1 know that your appareut in difference at this time arises from this fact. Impoverished by war, political ha tred and Providential calamities. It be hooves us as good citizens to strain every nerve to recuperate at least some of our shattered fortunes. Wo must do it to live. But while our attention Ls given !to those honorable and necessary pursuits, we are apt to forget the duty we owe ourselves and our posterity to improve this rare op portunity to redeem our Slate and lay the foundation of a healthier administration of our hx*al affairs. Honest iu your pur poses and intent on bettering your sad conditions, I fear you may confide too much in the flattering hope that all will go well at last. While you aro virtuously en gaged at homo, the insidious carpet-bag ger is busy with the ignorance and preju dice in your midst, almost under vour very nose. The registration in the county shows that less than one-half of the white voters have registered! Does this place us in a condition Jo meet a grave issue at the polls in ten days from to-day? It is not yet too late. If every man who has failed to register will come out on election day and register, and, with the others, vote "for convention,” regardless of what you may hope or hear that we will have no opposition. Those aro times when Con servatives ought to turn out and vote at every election. Your country needs you to the last man, so much that it is difficult to ; And words to impress it on you with suffi cient emphasis. If you love good govern ment aud dasire to perpetuate the glorious deliverance of last fall, you will each con sider it your individual duty, yea, even privilege, to come to the ixills and vote “for convention.” We need a convention to abolish the mis erable fraud crammed ou us and choked down us by enemies desiring our destruc tion ; which, instead of being a wise and just organic law for a five people, is, in many of its wicked provisions, more like j fetters forged on thevmce free limbs of our i brave people. The hideous registration ; oath which it enjoins, and which all of us ; have been recently obliged to take to get our rights, smacks of studied tyranny. Knowing us to be a conscientious people, | they placed It there like a lion in the path* way, to deter us from qualifying ourselves j to exercise the great Inherent right of free | born American citizens- the right to vote and participate In the administration of the government. Next to this monstrosity ls the disgusting oath of office, which It requires shall !>• taken by every officer whom you choose to elect , before he can discharge the duties of his office. All who have not read it are earnestly recommend ed to procure a copy of the fraudulent constitution and r<3ad It to your edifica tion. Grave as the necessity for these two changes may seetn, they are unimportant in comparison with the great economic changes and reforms needed. Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, and other Stat>sS, from time to time, have seen fit to hold conventions to revise their con stitutions. Alabama i now called upon to do the same, and this time through her own true sous;—who shall gainsay it? We of Russell county are close neighbors to Georgia, whose democracy and conserva tism has ruled with “wisdom, justice and moderation,” while we struggled and writhed under Radical rapacity and mis rule. With Georgia’s example -and the brief taste we have had of such freedom, we would be unnatural if we did not desire, with the most earnest and deep swelling emotions of our souls, to hold on to our new Democratic experience wrung with such an effort from tho Radicals last fall, and endeavor by every power within us to got more and more of it whenever and wherever opportunity offers. Our anxiety should make us willing, without quibbling over niceties, to quaff the strengthening draught whenever our friends place the cup to our lips and assure us it will do us good. Very respectfully, Ulysses Lewis, Chairman Cos. Ex. Com. E. Hkkkdon Glenn, Sec’y. Ft*rprli. The laudable effort being made in our city bo organize an industry that will fur n sh employment to so many of our popu lation (numbers of them widows, and daughters of our deceased soldiers), com mends itself to the careful attention of our entire community. There is every reason iu favor of such on enterprise proving successful and re munerative, and none to the contrary. Stock subscribed will be almost certain to pay, and will undoubteply accomplish much good in giving employment to a class of worthy jwx>plo who should be near the hearts of all good citizens. Fifteen thousand dollars is not a large sum by any means for Columbus and vi cinity V) invest in this undertaking. It is proposed, however, to call in but oue fourth the amount at the organization of the company, and one-fourth sixty days thereafter; tho remainder to be paid in six months later. Thus a party w in* sub scribes f or one share of the stock (on< hun dred dollars) will pay in at the organiza tion twenty-five dollars, and sixty days thereafter twenty-five dollars more; the balance six months later. This plan gives an opportunity to al most every citizen, and well-wisher of the enterprise, t<> participate aud become iden tified with an industry of univejsal benefit to our community.

But it is u matter of seri ous purporb-only think, not a rain in some portions of the country since April, and nowhere in fifty miles circumference ol Columbus, in two weeks, and the ther mometer at 98 to 102 in the shnde , while a wertern wind has been blowing stiffly until its heated, poisoned breath has parch)*! nil vegetation adjacent to the earth, and even the leaves of the trees have not boen proof against its ravages. Gardens are literally gone up, and a wail and howl from the farmers is coming up from every section of this country. Cotton that was three to four feet high a fortnight ago, blooming and growing as tineas ever seen in July, live days ago w’as scorched and burned half way up the stalk, until every leaf was yellow and ready to fall, while the very topmost branches were crisped, and looked as if they were in the agony of death. I won der how it I<>4>ks now—don’t wish to see it. These are facts, witnessed by my own eyes. Th-v would have boen in print be fore now, but it ns much as one can do to survive the heat without the comforting thought—the crops are ruined, and then some would say, “You are a croaker, it is not half so bad as you picture.” Ho I en deavored to console myself by hoping it would rain soon, and crops would Ik? all right, but my hopes were in vain, for it looks this evening as if it would not rain in six montes. So, if the drouth does hurt, we had better know it. The crops are in jured at least 50 per cent.; the cotton probably more than 50 per cent. Old farm ers say they never such a letting down in cotton during their experience in tho past ton days. Hot winds while tho cotton was vigorous and full of sap, is assigned .as the reason. Let it rain, and all the squares, young bolls and leaves legin to fall; then what a howl will be made. And if this drouth is not local, the world will be con vinced that all the cotton will not lx* raised this year, for there is very little fruit now mode upon the stalk, and it will take at l(?ast three weeks for cotton to recover from the of the drouth, even if we have a bountiful supply of rain from this date; and then it will have to grow and form squares and develop liefore the 10th of September, which will not do to depend on. When July and August crops are lost, the crops will l>e short. New l*4ilul Itulr*. Wo have despaired of ever learning ail the new postal rul?s. New ones are pub lished every day, and it is mysterious how, after the old fashioned, common sense rules, the public can get use to these mysteries of this new-fangled foolishness. They now say that newspaper published should not use paper with writing on it, for wrappers, as it subjects every package to letter jostage, and postmasters art* ordonnl to examine all printed matter to soe that it is charged with proper rates of postage, and to detect fraud. The wrap pers must admit of a full examination without destroying them. Notched enve lopes will not answer. Unsealed circulars deposited in a letter carrier office for local delivery are subject to a postage of one cent for each circular, which must be prepaid. An address may be written on a circular, but any other writing thereon, except the mem correction of a typo graphical error, will render it subject to letter postage. When packages of merchandise or sam ples of merchandise are wrapped so as to prevent examination, or have any wri ting on them except the address, it is the duty of tho postmaster to ratethem up with letter postage, to be oollecb*i on delivery. Samples may be marked in pencil tr ink witli letters or figures by which they am to be distinguished in a descriptive letter or invoice without subjecting the package to letter postage. Those ar? selected from the latest rul ings of the department. Between tho. rulings and the enactments of Congress the people must get terribly puzzled over our postal affairs, and the once simple process of mailing a letter or paper will soon become n mysterious operation, which nothing but practice and patience will make easy. The beauty of extra leg islation is finely portrayed in the recent postal laws. At any rate they have made their author famous, but he is the posses sor of a fame which nobody seems to envy.

Messrs. Bradfielti A Oo.: j Gentlemen—You will please ship us an other supply of your invaluable Female ! Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We are happy to state that this remedy gives ' better sa’tisfaction than any article we : sell. We have been selling it since 1808, and witnessed many remarkable cures by it. Among others, there was a lady friend of ours who was sallow and sickly until she was twenty-six years old, when she was married. Her husband lived two vears and died. She continued in bad I health; in fact, she has never been what a woman ought to be. A few months after the death of her husband she saw your advertisement, and came to our store and bought a bottle of your Regula tor from us, and took it according to di rections. It has cured her sound aud well, brought her regular monthly peri ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom ing widow—with the use of but two bot tles of your Regulator, costing her only three dollars, when she had tried several physicians and spent a great deal of I money without any benefit. Wishing you great success with your valuable reme dies, we are, respectfully yours, etc., W. Root A Sons. apM $m
