That was something of a political
revolution In Mississippi. Where
there were seventy Republicans in
the Legislature last year there are
only eighteen now. The county of
Yazoo, which usually gives a Re
publican majority of 2,009, went Dem
ocratic by 4,w0 majority.
Dr. 14acox’s card, published in both j
the city papers yesterday, commands
general approval. So unselfish a /nan j
is needed, and we hope that he may j
be the coming man. He has shown
the right spirit. The man who de
clines an office for the sake of pro
moting harmony Is the man best fit
ted to occupy the place.
California
Only owes #700,000, and her internal
Improvements, which are paid for,
are worth much more than that. Han
Francisco owes #4,000,000; while New
York, with only four times the popu
lation, owes forty times ns much
money.
One of the most fortunate circum
stances connected with the history of
California is the fact that cotton
culture is about to bo entirely aban
doned, it having been found to bo
unprofitable. Californians may con
gratulate themselves on this event.
Secretary Bkuktow most emphati
cally denies that he has now, or ever
hod, uny connection with the whis
key-house of Newcomb, Buchanan &
Cos., of Louisville.
He also wrote a rod-liot letter to
District Attorney Dyer of Ht. Louis,
■-eying that the frauds on the Govern
ment shall bo probed to the very bot
tom. That every ramification of the
Ring shall be followed in every part.
That the accused shall be brought
before the Grand Jury and subjected
to the most rigid examination, and
pronounces all accusations, “abso
lutely uud uuequalifledly false so
far as they effect me.” Gen. Bristow
is doing more to purify the Radical
party than any man ever did.
Tins only feature at the Ht. Louis
Convention which merited the con
demnation of the entire Southern
people, was the treatment that Mr.
Davis was subjected to. When en
t huslastio Trimble, of Kentucky, sug
gested that ex-President Davis bo ten
dered a seat on tho platform where
were seated Gens. Johnston, Beaure
gard and Sherman, there were cries
of no! no! over the hall. This was
un .unmerited indignity. Mr. Davis,
us chairtunn of tho Mississippi dele
gation, had as much right in that
body as anyone had. And if North
ern and Western men tender the olive
branch with tho condition that ox-
President Davis shall be ostracised
In public wherever ho appears, wo do
not value the offor. Jefferson. Davis
is no more a traitor than any one of
ns, and an unnecessary insult to him
is an affront to the people of the
South.
The Charleston Courier says of the
Suez Canal;
“More than any other power is
England interested in maintaining
the absolute freedom and independ
ence of the Suez Cuual, which short
ens by seven thousand miles the voy
age to her Indinu Empire. It is an
nounced that, the amount of money
to be paid is twenty million dollars;
but the Khedive had invested forty
million dollars in the Canal before
the work was completed, and if the
whole of his stock has been taken it
must have been sold at a heavy dis
count.”
In view of the approaching disso- j
lution of the Turkish Empire and
the disturbance of equilibrium that,
will ensue, tho purchase of tho Suez
Canal by Mr. Disraeli is the acme of
statesmanship, and tho finest stroke
of diplomacy yet made by that, ven
erable statesman.

We have never expressed ourselves
in favor of the construction of more
Pacific railroads. We have main
tained the rightof the General Gov
erment to make internal improve
ments. and we can see no reason why
a Southern route to the Pacific might
not as well be constructed as a Cen
tral or Northern route. We would
like to see the South lifted up a little,
but we doubt the propriety of enter
ing upon great enterprises at this j
time.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
If the General Government has tho j
right to make internal improvements, |
by all means let the South liavo her
share. It is claimed that Govern
ment appropriations for internal im
provements have amounted to $175,-
000,000. Of this amount the South
has received only #19,000,000, and
Georgia not SIOO,OOO.
UOVJICVOIt MMITII.
IVo give indow an editoijni from;
the Atlanta Jloruld,ff thjjibth ult.,
Which statofjpositirdy that Governor
■Smith i not, and roll not I,a, a
I candidate fdr’re-eleciiou. Ve Imvo
I thought for a long time that Gov.
Smith would not lie a candidate; and
we have also thought that if he were ■
\ to uunounco himself a candidate, no
; man except. General Colquitt could
I command more votes than tie. Gov. I
Smith has made a good Governor ;j
and we hope that, he will lie the next j
Senator from Georgia to the United ;
States Senate. Tho i>eoplo in thisj
section of the State, at least, prefer i
him, we think, to the Hon. Benjamin
H, Hill for that position. If Gov.
Smith should conclude to be again u
candidate for Gubernatorial honors, j
wo think it is now time that the pub- !
lie should know it. It is only manly ;
and proper that tlioso of Georgia’s i
distinguished sons who desire the
position should say so, in projirtii l
persona. When tho people are culled .
upon to select delegates to attend the
Nominating Convention, they will
wish to know who the candidates are. !
Let, tho aspirants bo known. Ii Gov. ;
Smith should not bo u candidate, we
do not think that, there will bo any
serious obstacle to Gen. Colquitt’s j
triumphant election. At present Gen. j
Alfreil H. Colquitt seems to be the :
choice of the people for the next
Governor of Georgia:
The press of the Htuto seems to bo j
very much oxeneleedspver a statement I
lately made in tho Columbus En
quirer, and republished in these col
umns, toth#effect, that Gov. Smith
had stated that ho would not tie a
candidate for re-election.
Tlie Enquirer itself has since said ,
that, possibly, its informant, might!
have construed Gov, Smith’s natural;
reticence into n declination of an
other race.
It Seems to us, as the question is!
exciting so much comment, favorable j
i and the opposite, that it is proper for
| thosewho liavo any information upon ,
! the subject to give it to the public. 1
j We state, then, that the Governor has
! assured one of tho editors of the j
Herald time and again that, he can
! not ii eandidtlte, mill ironld lint under
uni/ vircnmKtdnet’ii he a eitmilitate, for |
the Governor ship.
We publish the statement for many
reasons. In the first place, we feel
certain that. Governor Smith has no
sympathy with the attempt that is
being made by certain parties to “al
low the people to run him,” while he
himself wits declining to run. When
ever he makes another race, he will
make it just as he did before; he
would tell tho people what he wauls
in a frank and honest way, and use
all honorable means to get it. He
has made the statement that he made
to us, to several other gentlemen, and,
in fact, hits always spoken frankly
and emphatically upon the subject to
those who hud any right to ask the
question. Indeed, we have reason to
boliove that some of those who are
now using his popularity to further
their own private ends, know that he
doos not intend to run ; that he has
repeatedly said he will not run. It
must, be gratifying to Gov. Smith to
notice the numerous evidences of the
esteem in which the people hold him,
and the popularity his administra
tions have won him. But he sup
plements tbe rare common sense he
nos displayed through the whole of
his public life, in declining to offer
“a third term.” Long before the
next election, in our opinion, the
Democratic party of tho country will
be arrayed solidly and earnestly
against “tho third term” idea, as con
trary to the principles of Democratic
government, and dangerous to the
very exiatenee of the Republic. Gov.
Smith has acted wisely ami patrioti
cally in refusing to destroy the force
and consistency of this righteous
crusade, by attempting to persuade
tlie Democracy of Georgia to do the
very thing the Demoeraoy of the
nation lias formally and earnestly
protested against.
The Governor inis acted right, and
his admirers will be ready to say that
such a course is just what might have
been expected, from tho tenor of his
whole llfo. Doubtless they will avail
themselves of future opportunities to
advance his present high position, by
conferring other honors, to which no
sound objections could lie urged.
lint wo did uot mean to argue this
question. We only meant to say, and
say emphatically, that Gov. Smith
will not boa candidate tor re-elect ion ;
and that we have his resolve from his
own lips, and in such positive and
sincere terms that it cannot he doubt
ed far an instant,
s.
Fences —Ousht They to be UwlUlicii;
We were very much impressed by
the fact that in St. Louis county, Mis
souri, cultivated crops are grown up
to tlie road-side and are unprotected
by any fences. On the contrary, all
live stock are fenced in by the owners.
Instead of one farmer having to keep
a legal fence against the stock of ids
fifty neighbors, he is required to re
spect the interests of his neighbors
by keeping his stock enclosed on his
own land. This is simple justice, but
our Georgia solons liavo never so de
cided in the General Assembly. Lot
us examino into the matter. J u the
We9t a man gets a homestead worth
S2OO, for less than #2O, in land-office
fees, but he requires #I,OOO to scanti
ly fence this homestead against a
single stock-grower, “rich in cattle
and becoming richer by feeding them
without cost upon the unpurehnsed
prairie.” Twenty families will thus
spend $20,000 to protect themselves
I against cuttle not worth SIO,OOO. A
farmer owning a tract, of land con
taining 640 acres, enclosed by a fence
costing #1 per rod, pays #i,2sn for
fencing, or $2 per acre; another,
with 160 acres, pays SOIO, or #t per
acre; while a third, owning to acres,
pays #320, or $8 per acre. These in
cidental taxes constitute a fearful
mortgage on each farm, and every
landholder in Georgia is required to
bear this burden of taxation which is
ns unnecessary as it Is unjust. This
is one reason why agriculture lan
guishes, and bankruptcy stares the
majority of our farmers iu tlie face.
As onerous as are the Federal, State,
county, road, and school taxes to tho
| farmers, the tax for building fences
jis greater than ail the others-com
bined.
In Butler county, Ohio, there are
293,000 acres of land, all inclosed.
These 2,600,000 rods of fencing cost
$2 per rod, qj $5,200,000. The annual
cost of mainfftining the same at 15 per
cent., amounts to $780,000. Statistics
prove that the cost of fences for tlie
whole Union is nearly equal to the
rrr ==-
total umoqnt of the National debt on
Which interest is paid, and fully equal
io the value of all tho farm animals
In the United States.
In Georgia, for every dollar invest
ed in live stock another dollar is re
j quired for the const,ruction of fences
i to resist their attacks on farm pro
-1 ducting. Wo know of an instance
| whole a man own a a thousand acres
I of land under fence and does not own
1 any cattle; one of his tenants owns
j twenty-flvo head of cattle and riot u
| foot of soil. In Georgia tho cost is
j less than In any other State, being
j only seventy-live cents per rod frail
j fence), and there are 540 rods per PM)
| acres. This estimate leaves out the
| cost of hauling, putting up fence, and
wuste of timber, which we consider
jto bo fully as much again. The esti- 1
mates given by tho Agricultural Re
port gives fnrGeorgb’ the cost per lUO
rods to be 84.00, and the total cost of
fencing in 1871 to be *>,1,410,235, The j
cost of litigation, owing lo existing I
laws, is, perhaps, equal to tho cost of
annual repairs to fences. And one i
bad magistrate, appointed by the:
Governor, instead of being elected, !
can do more to engender bad feeling
and cause greater losses, to tun 1 own
ers, by the t.) prevalent mode of de
ciding against the man who is best!
able to pay costs, than from any oth
er existing laws with which we are
acquainted. Let us abolish fences j
for crops and adopt fences for stock, j
as being the best mode by which mu
tual rights can be respected.
A Mlsilake.
Our cotempomry, Of yesterday, Inn
| this to say of Hon. Win. H. Felton :
At leant two distinguished gentlc-
I men, noted for their so-called “inde
j pendent” antecedents, are named in
I I his connection. We refer to the Hon.
; Win. H. Felton and ex-Gov. Joseph
i E. Brown, both having strength in
j tiie section of tho State which, from
present appearances, is least likely to
Ibe favored by the selection fro g* it of
! tho regular Democratic nominee.
Dr. Felton is misunderstood by the
j press in Southern Georgia. He has
| always been a Democrat, arid has
j never been un independent candidate,
except in one instance, and that was
1 when the circumstances demanded ir.
i Dr. Felton was endorsed by the ma
jority of the most conservative Dem
ocrats of the Seventh District, and
was elected by a majority of 1400 In
his own county. The condition of
things in that district demanded his
independent action, as tho puopde had
but littlo confidence in the regular
Democratic nominee. There is no
danger that Dr. Felton will ever de
feat tho will of the conservative peo
ple of the State. His worst foe was
Joseph E Brown.
We have thought over since that
Winnebago affair that President
Davis ought to cultivate the policy of
silence. If tho following is true, our
opinion on that subject now amounts
to a positive conviction. The Sea
Coast. (Miss, i Republican says :
Jeff Davis honored this city with
j His presence last. Sunday. We did
not sen him. but learn fro in one who
interviewed trim lie is very conserva
tive. He believes Governor Ames to
bo honest and lays every mistake
made by him to bis surroundings.
He reprehends any attempt to im
peach Governor Ames.
The Montgomery Advertiser says
of polities in Minnesota;
Minnesota conies to the front on
the woman suffrage question. At the
recent Stato election a large majority
was given for tho constitutional
amendment, which provides that any
woman of twenty-one years of ageanu
upward may vote at any election for
choosing officers of schools, or on any
measure relating to schools, or may bo
eligible to any office pertaining to the
management of schools.
The Treasury Trouble.
“Halifax” writes as follows, from
Atlanta, to the Chronicle and Senti
nel : The ten days truce between Gov
ernor Smith and Treasurer .Tones has
expired, uud the latter has failed to
make an acceptable bond, and the
Governor will proceed immediately
to appoint a Treasurer ad interim.
The failure of Captain Jones to make
a bond surprised no one here, as the
reports circulated concerning his al
leged negligence and inefficiency have
permeated tho entire State. It is not
i known what, course ho will pursue,
but it is supposed that he will pre
pare a vindication of Ids conduct and
policy for the incoming Legislature
and tho public at large. I learn that
there are very extenuating circum
stances {connected with Jones’ pay
ment of the $150,000 or $200,000 of
bonds by him the second time.
For instance, there are about $175,-
000 of hoods which, it is said, were
j paid twice, in the following man
| tier: The bonds were paid by
j a London Banking house over its
j own counters and charged to Henry
I Clews & Cos., its correspondents, who
' were at that time authorized agents
j of the State, and were forwarded by
I the London House vneaneelled, to
Clews & Cos., in New York city.
Henrv Clews receiving them did uot
cancel them, but put them up at auc
tion and sold them to tile highest bid
der. tho purchasers presented them
; to the State Treasurer Jones for pay
j intuit, who finding them unpaid, paid
j them without suspecting any fraud.
Some other bonds to the amount, of
S■2S.(MX) or $30,000 were paid by tho
National Park Bank of New York,
and were placed in the hands of the
son of Treasurer Angier ttnoanbellod
to be deposited with the State Treas
urer two or three days before Jones
entered upou the discharge of duty.
These unctvneelled bonds, it is
said, were placed in the vaults
of the Treasury, but 1 under
stand t hat John Jones says he never
saw, received or accepted any such
Points when lie-entered upon the du
ties of his office. Be this as it may,
lit is certain that these bonds which
! one party testifies were in the Treas
! ury and which Treasurer Jones says
i he never saw until they were pre
-1 seated to him for payment, were pre
sented at the Treasury .Department
for payment and paid by Treasurer
| JoDes.'whWobserving no irregular!-
I tv in them, paid and cancelled them
i without hesitation. The friends of
Treasurer Jones claim that he will
| be acquitted of all blame, except the
[ charge of a careless system of book
, keeping. I understand that he is
1 ready to turn over his papers, etc., to
his successor, who will soon be ap
pointed.
It is the opinion of Mr. George
William Curtis and of Harper’s
Weekly that in the National Conven
tion next year "the Republicans will
of course adopt the most positive
hard money policy.”
