RETRENCHMENT.
Within the past Few days wc have
conversed with several substantial citi
Bens who express a feeling
or desire that some action on the
part of the people of the county should
take place looking to the reduction of
our county taxes. These citizens con
tend that there are many ways in which
the county expenses could be reduced,
citing.for instance, the consolidation of
the office of Tax Collector and Receiv
er. Also the reduction of fees of ju
rors, and the abolishing of extra fees
to county officer?, etc. We arc hearti
ly in feeling with these citizens, and
would be glad to see the matter begin
to take shape. If there has been reck
less management which has produced
unnecessary taxation, and if the county
expenses have been greater than they
should have been, we contend that a
reform should be brought about as soon
ns possible. Our taxes are burdensome
and the people who have felt it should
begin to seek reform. Wo favor such
action as has been taken, we notice in
other counties, for instance, the hold
ing of a taxpayers’ Convention, at
which an interchange of views may de
velop the best possible way to reform
Without co-opflration nothing can be
done, and we would be glad to see the
citizeus taking hold of tho matter with
an earnestness which would bode noth
ing short of a removal of the burden.
We yield readily our columns for a dis
cussion of the subject. \V ho will
speak first.
GEN. JOHN B. GORDON.
Wo arc indebted to Gen. John B.
Gordon for a c*>py of his great speech
on the Louisiana question in the Uni
ted States Senate. It is a manly re
ply to the insults to the Southern peo
ple offered by the Republican Senators,
and a patriotic defence of their name,
tlieir rights and liberties. General
Gordon is becoming a bright light in
the American Congress and his people
are proud of bis name. Honest men
North as well as South recognize him
as a fine orator, a pure patriot, and a
Christian Statesman. He loves his
countrymen and is ever ready to vindi
cate their cause against the attacks of
those embittered with a hatred for
Southern prosperity,and who want but a
small pretext to assail u h.
TWO GOOD MEN GONE.
Within the past week Georgia has
lost two of her distinguished sons.—
Hon. Garnett McMillan, member elect
to Congress from the Ninth District,
died of consumption at his home in
Clarkesville on the 14th inst. He was
rne of the most brilliant men of the
State, and bid fair to win fame in the
service of his State in the National
Legislature.
Col. C. T. Goode, of Americus, died
on the 13th. He was also a man of
bril'iant intellect and remarkable pow
ers of oratory. Though he had faults
—all men do—in his death Georgia has
lost a noble son.
Tiif. American Newspaper Directory
is an epitome of newspaper h'story. It
is also regarded as an official register of
circulations. This feature, requires the
closest scrutiny to prevent it from lead
ing to abuses. The plan, adopted by
the publisher of the Directory, to secure
correct and trustworthy reports, is rigid
iu its requirements and adhered to with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who
have something to gain by a compari
son, are generally prompt, not only to
send reports in conformaty but give
Messrs George P. Rowe'l & Cos. such
information as enables them to weed out
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders
in journalism. The popularity of the
book, and the general confidence in its
accuracy and good faith are attested
by the immense body of advertisements
it receives.
The Northwest is now witnessing
ore of the coldest spells ever known in
that portion of the United States. In
Helena, Montam, on the night of the
14th the thermometers all froze, mer
eury in phials became congealed, and
proof whisky placed out of doors froze
solid in half an hour. In Topeka,
Kansas, on the same day the thermom
eter marked twenty degrees below zero
In some portions of Dakota it is repo t
ed that cattle are freezing to death, and
great suffering is feared among the set
tlors on the borders of the Western
States.
Inquisitive people are beginning to
inquire what disposition is made of the
funds of the National Grange of the
order of Patrons of Husbandry. This
Grange is located in the city of Wash
ington. and according to all accounts,
its accumulations of eash rnukt be large.
All Granges in the country are respon
sible to it; but its officers do riot seem !
to be particularly responsible to anyone
f< r the use they make of their reve
ijoey and therefore if is quite natural
that ouriosity should be aroused on the
subject. A Grange Master in the
West is reported to have said that to
the best of his belief, the officers of
the National Grange must have re
ceived at least $250,000 for granting
charters to subordinate Granges during
the lust three years, while a newspaper
correspondent, who bases his calcula
tions on the reports of the Grangers,
estimates the receipts of the chiefs of
the order in Washington at a vastly
greater sum. Iu July last there were
in exis eooe 22,000 Granges, with a to
tal membership of over 2,000,00 t). At
sls for each charter, this would give
the National Grange $330,000 for
charters alone. Add to this the ten
cents annual dues received from mem
bers in all parts of the country,
amounting to $200,000 a year, and the
receipts from new Granges which are
constantly organizing, and the result is
a grand total worth looking after. Of
course there are expenses to be paid
out of th'-se receipts, but the complaint
is that there is a want of definite infor
mation as to the character of these exr
penses, and there are those who are
suspicious enough to intimate that the
Washington Grangers who grant char
ters to their buco’ic brethren have an
exceedingly good thing of it. Of
course this is a matter in which Gran
gers a r e alone concerned, and if -they
are satisfied with the management of
their contributions to tho National
Grange the outside world have no rea
son to complain. Still it would give a
shock to faith in human nature if it
should prove that a movement which
was instituted for purposeses of public
reform bas been managed for the per
sonal emolument of any of its officials.
The New York Sun.
The Oppression of the Farmers—The
Georgia Homeste id Law.
Under this head the Hawkinsv ille
Dispatch has the following on the above
subject. It would be difficult to put
more truth and solid sense in the flame
space :
Of all the laws ever enacted in this
State, none, in our opinion, have done
so much to destroy the credit of the
people and bring about the present de
plorable state of affairs,as the homestead
exemption. The people have suffered
terribly under it. Merchants have sold
supplies at enormous rates of interest,
and the farmers have steadily grown
poorer since the law was passed. We
believe that justice to the poor class de
mands that it be repealed. We have
advocated this course lor the last foui
years, we shall continue to do so. If
there had never been a homestead law,
the lien law would have been dead five
years ago. Let us be understood on the
homestead law. Wo do not contend that
there should be no homestead at all.—
On the contrary, we would like to give
each man and his family a chance to
live. It is not right to take every bush
el of corn, every pound of meat,and cow
that the man owns? Do not take all
these from him, but if he has 500 acres
of land, and will not sell it to pay his
debts, take a portion of it. No man
should be allowed to homestead on ten
head of mules, five hundred acres of
land, and a crib of corn, even if his cot
t n will not pay him out. The present
boon stead is too large, it gives a man
all he has, whether it be five hundred
dollars or three thonsand dollars. A
five hundred dollar homestead is suffi
cient for any who can work, and if he
has no family even that amount is too
large. We are not opposed to a small
homestead, for a man’s wife and chil
dren deserve some consideration. Un
der all circumstances we believe the man
who takes the benefit of the homestead
law should be compelled to pay his cred
itor an annual interest of ten per
cent., and if possible a law should be
passed to that effect We know that a
number of citizens of Pulaski have had
homesteads set apart for their families,
and in some instances it would seem that
they were justified in doing so Some
men when they find themselves deeply
in debt, look upon the homestead law
as the soldier looks upon a stump in bat
tle— he is going behind it. Perhaps
one of th ‘ objects of the homestead law
was to prevent the people from going
into debt If that be so, it was a fatal
error The best way to keep a man out
of debt is to make his property subject
to his debts, and let him know that be
must pay at all hazards. Make the law a
warning to him. Our people must have
a credit. Our farmers make but one
monev crop, that of cotton,and it comes
but once a year. If they had crops to
sell at various times during the year,
there would be such necessity for a
credit system, but very few of them are
able to make a crop free of debt. Our
people should have as good credit now,
according to their means, as they had
before the war, and if this country ever
recovers from its present unfortunate
condition, the people must regain their
credit first.

The last guns of the Lost Cause ”
were fired by Gordon, of Georgia, at
Appomattox,and the first voice from the
South that has reached the hearts of
the North, is that of Gordon, of Geor
gia. North and South, East and West,
his burning words are upon the lips of
the people. To-day the battle-scarred
“Rebel” is saluted by the American
people as an apostle of liberty, while the
conqueror of Appomattox has sunk into
a disgusting tyrant. Fortunate it is for
the South, that in her crucial hour, one
of her sons, who never knew the shad
ow ot turning—who felt with her, who
acted with her, who suffered with her,
who was humiliated with her—was her
accredited witness aud advocated before
the American people. He had the right
to speak for his people, and " bly has
be spoken.
Long, long the South has suffered un
heard but now her despied people have
their champion.

t#UR AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS.
A Circular from Commissioner Janes.
To the Planters of Georgia :
At a Convention of Georgia Ag: icul
turists, which assembled in Atlanta on
the 16th December last, Mr R. P.
Johnson, of Griffin, offered the follow
ing:
“ Resolved , That the rceommenda
tion by the Cotton States Agricultural
Convention, that one-third of land be
planted in corn, one-third in small
grain, and one-tbird in cotton, be adopt
ed by this Convention; and that a
committee be appointed to draft an ad
dress appealing to all planters to carry
out this system this year.”
Gen. A. H. Colquitt offered the fol
lowing as an amendment:
“ That the Commissioner of Agricul
ture be requested to issue a circular,
embodying the views of the foregoing
resolution.”
This amendment was agreed to, and
the resolution as amended, was adopt
ed.
In compliance with this request, I
most earnestly appeal to every tiller of
the soil in Georgia, to so tar adopt the
recommendation, as not to in any
case, to raise at home an abundant
supply of every article for consump
tion that can be produced upon the
farm.
The embarrassment and distress
among farmers which meet us every
where, forcibly admonish us that the
plan heretofore pursued by a majori
ty of the planters in Georgia is not
wise, and that it should be speedily
changed.
We have been led astray —away from
the paths of wisdom and safety, into
those of error, leading inevitably to
ruin—with the beguiling fascination of
making cotton to be sold at a high
price, and thereby rapidly regaining
our lost wealth. It has proved to be
worse, if possible, than a delusion and
a snare. It is a rock upon which thou
sands of farmers have already been
shipwrecked, and unless we desist from
this course, impoverishment and bank
ruptcy tvill be our certain doom. Each
and every one of us must make a full
supply of provisions and forage at home;
and let what little cotton wo make be
wholly a surplus crop !
If we will all adopt this policy, and
unflinchingly pursue it, a few years
will find us out of debt, with plenty of
life’s necessaries on hand, aud surplus
money in our pockets.
What tongue or pen can fully depict
the happy condition of the country, if
the farmers were out of debt, had no
farm products to buy, and had one half
or even one-third as much cotton as
they made this year ? We can, in
three years, be in that condition, if we
will adopt the recommendation of the
Convention, to plant not more than one
third of our crops in cotton, aud stead
ily adhere to it.
If we will adopt and bravely carry out
this policy, in ten or fifteen years Geor
gia will be the richest country the
sun 'ever shined upon. Our farmers
will be our moneyed men. They will
own all the bank stock, railroad stock,
and al 1 the manufactories in the coun
t*y ; invade the towns and cities with
their superabundant money, and possess
mueh of the best real estate in them;
and have the means to invest in any
profitable enterprise that may offer.
VVe hear much complaint about the
demoralized condition of the labor of
the country, and of the scarcity of
money and hard times ; and many of
us are earnestly seeking methods of
procuring better labor and inducing
capitalists from abroad to bring their
money into this State. It is true that,
our labor is greatly reduced in effect
iveness and value, and that money is
searce and interest high ; but if our
present labor, however inferior it may
be, were but rightly directed , the land
would teem with plenty. Money is
scarce and interest high, because we
have too many things to purchase. We
ought not to buy a single thing which
our farms will produce. Then we would
not need so much money. The demand
would be lessened; the supply would
equal the demand ; and the rate of in
terest would be low. We would not
care whether foreign capital would
come among us or not; and if we should
want other labor, we would be able to
procure it, aud our very condition
would greatly improve the labor we
have. There is no telling the advan
tages and blessings which would ensue
from adopting and firmly adhering to
the police recommended.
Already some of these benefits are
apparent. The same recommendation
was made by similar assemblages of
Georgia farmers in 1873, and was heed
ed, to some extent —the result being a
perceptible increase in our provision
and forage, and a slight reduction of
our cotton crop, giving hope and en
couragement to all to do likewise.
It is a well-ascertained fact* that for
the years 1873 and 1874, it cost more
to raise a pound of cotton than a pound
of cotton brought in market. It is
safe to say that for these two years sev
en-tenths of the cotton which was sold
for less than 15 cents per pound, cost
more to make it than it brought.
Before the war, when our farmers
made everything needed for consump
tion which their farms would produce,
it cost from six to seven cents to raise
a pound of cotton. For the past two
years the actual cost of making it. as
ascertained by a number of the best
farmers in Georgia, who have kept an
exact account of the same from first to
last, ranges from twelve and a half to
seventeen cents per p und.
A careful inquiry, made by this De
partment, has tailed to find a single
farmer who always raises his supplies,
who is not out of debt and in easy, if
not thrifty circumstances ; or if such a
man owes anything, it is for land or
some valuable investment—certainly
not for what his family must have to
eat and wear. On the other hand, the
sau careful inquiry has failed to find a
single farmer who pursued a different
policy, who is not more or less embar
rassed, frequently to a serious extent.
Farmers of Georgia ! plant less cot
ton ! Do not, I entreat you, any lon- }
ger pursue a suicidal policy. Live at j
borne 1 Cease to make haste to be rich
Remember, that slow and stea ’y gains
done are enduring. Keep out of debt
Let every farmer and every farmer’s
'vife, have a horror of debt and avoid
it, as they would the touch of a reptile.
Let everv one adopt the system of
planting a smaller area of ground, of
thorough culture, and high fertilization.
Make every foot of your fields rich.—
No farmer can afford to cultivate poor
land.
If' possible, make your manures at
home. They are cheapest, and genera
dly pay best. Very superior fertilli
zers can be made of stable manure and
Cotton seed, properly composted with
dissolved or ground bones, salt, plaster,
potash, etc. I here present a few for
mulae for compounding cheap home
made fertillize’s, with the cost of the
articles annexed, from which it will be
seen that a sufficient quantity of good
manure is within the readi of the poor
est farmer. Such methods of matins'
manures, coupled with the turning un
der of green crops in August, will give
us all the fertillizing we need, and if
persisted in, will make our lands as rich
as we desire.
Without a change, ruin is even now
in sig t. “ A prudent man forsceth
the evil and hideth himself , but the sim *
pie pass on and are punished.” —
Prov. 22 : 3.
With the hope that our Agriculture
may speedily be revived from its pres
ent languishing condition, and become
the most profitable occupation in the
State.
I am, most respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Thomas P. Janes,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

REMARKS.
Make your compost heap under shel
ter, in time to stand six weeks or longer,
if possible, so that decomposition, chern
i al action and minute subdivision may
take place. Put dowu first .< layer of
stable manure, tnen of cotton seed, and
then the othei ingredients. Apply suf
ficient water to dampen thoroughly* and
so on, layer by layer, till the heap is
completed ; then cover it with earth.
When it is to be used, cut it down
vertically. Then, if you have wood ashes,
either leached or unleaehedj mix them
with the compost. It will add much to
its value.
For corn, use fri in 300 to 400 pounds
per acre, in drill.
For cotton, use from 300 to 400
pounds per acre, in drill.
For wheat, use from 400 to 500
pouuds per acre, broadcast.
Take Away the Bayonets.
The New York Sun of the 14th
prints the following touching the situa
tion in Louisiana :
The scenes that are now taking place
in Louisiana were, though in a lesser
degree, uot long ago witnesssd in Geor
gia, when Mr. Morton and his followers
were defending the infamies ot Bullock,
seeking to perpetuate a Legisla’ure two
years beyond the legal term of its exist
ence, and endeavoring to foist Foster
Blodgett into the Senate of the Uuited
States by a scandalous fraud. They told
the country then that if these ex
treme measures were not adopted, and
the State fell into the hands of the Con
servatives, anarchy and bloodshed would
be the consequences, and the colored
pie would be deprived of all the rights
guaranteed by the amendments. A
few courageous Republicans stood in
the way of that harsh policy, and it
failed.
The troops were withdrawn, the peo
ple resumed their rightful authority,
Bullock fled from retributive justice a
branded robber, and the credit and pros
perity of the State were at once restor
ed. Georgia to-day is an example and
a contrast. * So is Norih Carolina; so
is Tennessee; so is Texas ; and so will
be Arkansas and Alabama il let alone to
manage their own affairs. Their first in
terest is peace.
Withdraw the bayonets from Louis
iana, and in thirty days the State will
rise up with the signs of anew life,
with perfect tranquility everywhere, and
friendly relations between the two races.
Nothing else is needed. Tyranny and
corruption have been tried in various
forms under Warmoth nad Kellogg, and
they have only ruined a rich State. Let
us now try honesty and conciliation
without the torturing presence of brute
force. Send Sheridan among the Pie*,
gans where he belongs, and scatter the
army on the frontier where protection is
needed, and peace will follow as natural
ly as day succeeds night.
Gen. Gordon and His Prisoner.
An interesting incident occurred a few
days ago in one of the street cars. The
Seuate had adjourned and among others,
Senator Scott of Pennsylvainbi. with a
friend, stepped into the car. Gen. Gor
* till
don, also a Senator, was already seated
The Pennsylvania Senator, having seat
ed himself beside the brave and gallant
Georgiao, entered iuto conversation.—-
Senator Scott, turning to his friend, re
marked, “Col. Stewart, allow me to in
troduce you to Geu. Gordon, Senator
from Georgia/’ The Colonel and the
General looked at each other for a mo
ment as if in doubt. Geu. Gordon, r.p
preciating the cause of the Colonel s
hesitation, said : “ Yes, it is the same
person ” The two at once shook hands
aud promptly exchanged sentiments of
respect and admiration. Senator Scott
was naturally considerably amazed at
this mysterious performance. Col. Stew
art, during the late war, had comman
ded one of the regiments of western
Pennsylvania, and Gen. Gordon had led
a column of brave Georgians. They
were, therefore, at f .hat time in hostile
array. Gen. Gordon then explained to
Senator Scott that he had taken Col.
Stewart prisoner with a portion of his
command. The colonel added : “And
never do I expect,under any circumstan
ces, to meet a more magnanimous victor
nor a more courteous gentleman.” The
Confederate General and the Pennsylvam
ia Colonel talked their battles over, and
parted at the hotel with many w ishes of
lasting friendship and respect l etween
not only the grey and blue, but between
the people of the South and North.—
JFasA. Cor. Savannah News.
———
Grant has sent his mCsnge to Con
gress touching Louisianna affairs.—
We clip the following regarding it from
the Savanah News:
This message of Grant is a bold, de
fiant document. It manifests his deter
mination to uphold his usurpations to
the bitter end. He begins by reitera
ting the threadbare cries of fraud, vi
olence, and intimidation, without addu
cing any substantial, trustworthy evi
dence of the same He says of the
drunken judge in Louisiana, whose acts
outraged decency as well as lew, that he
doubtless made grave mistakes, but yet
the fifteenth amendment to the federal
constitution, Grant affirms, confers the
power upon Lderal judges to interfere
in various ways with S f ate elections.—
He says that this seems startling to some,
but is true. It is indeed startling that
federal judges are to be permitted to in
terfere with> State elections and reverse
their verdict at will, and notwithstand
ing these judges be corrupt and “ make
grave mistakes,” the president may sup
port them with military power of the
government, and at his kingly pleasure
overturn legislatures aud thruttle
States.
Grant alleges that he gave no orders
to Sheridan or other military officers to
interfere with the legislature of Louisi
ana, and virtually condemns it, yet pro
ceeds to apologize for the outrage and
in the end to defend it. He says that
he can conceive of “no case not envolv
ing rebellion or insurrection,” that
would justify federal interference, and
yet endorses it without proving that ei
ther rebellion or insurrection existed in
Louisiana, but only intimidation, fraud
and violence. What manner of man
can our Caesar be, if he be not mad ?
But mad he is and desperate. But
Grant will find to his cost that, as he
says, “military ihterference by federal
officers of troops with State legislatures
or civil departments, is repugnant to
oUr ideas of government,” and the peo
ple will enforce those ideas to the over
throw of himself and his co-consoirators
againsf the peace and liberties of the
country.
