Thirty live thousand dollars, it is claimed, have been saved to farmers of Greene county the past year. Gov. Amts, of Mississippi, lius found an unlookod for advocate in Jefferson Davis, who disapproves of the proposed impeachment proceed ings, asserts that the Governor is honest, and attributes his official mistakes to the bad ndvieo of his fol lowers. •♦ * ■ 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.” IHE lIMK.S: THURSDAY JMLNINO, DECEMBER 2 , 1875, --- * ■ Fojpfayorg Ipeonijiliauce witirjjji'i wlih of many ciraiuH, r-.od a desire of my Win to ||f tho City a a !
