If we will do so extensively and with a
view OF availing ourselves of all the i'm
provements for its conversion into syrup
and sugar there is no agricultural pro-
duct which will add so much to our
prosperity.
There is now company in Louisville,
KY, engaged in the manufacture of SUI
gar and syrup from sorghum. The
Democrat of that city states that the
articles manufactured by the company
are excellent. The syrup brings readi-
ly eighty cents per gallon in the market.

brightness and sweetness-is equal to

says that paper. 1t adds that it can be
made for seven cents per pound-about
one-third of the cost of imported sugar.
In speaking of the yield of sorghum
per acre the Democrat estimates that an
acre will produce 800 pounds of sugar,
or 100 gallons of syrup, which, it con-
tends, will pay better than corn or other
grain,

treated it asa matter Of the graycst inn

properly taken, by the Legislature, as
evidence that the people were opposed

their fdelit9 to Them. Nevertheless, the
Lcgi5latord, in order to treat the recon-

An UNPRECEDENTED tACT.-From the
foundation of the Commonwealth no per-
son wearing the title of Governor of Wiz
ginia has been until now arraigncd upon
the charge efhaving committed felony.
We referto tAe examination of Governor
WqAS in the Mayors court upon the
charge of purloining letter. ''That
letter" is nowthc cry. A MYSTERY hangs
over it as great as that about "the hand
llcrchicfD which drove the poor Moor
mad. Mcssrs. Samuel and Allen contin-
ne to cry, THAT letter" There is some
thing unclean about it. A fact estab-
Iished is that Governor Wells saw the
letter andtook a copyof it before it ever
reached the eyes Of the gentleman to
whom it was addressed. That looks ugly.
No matter who stole the letter, that looks
amazingly unsoemly for Governor :
1t does not affect the character of the
people of Virginia any more than vanc
.updn an yzof the church steeples. The
sGovernor is none of theirs. Bat it does
show great deal in another way. 1t
shows what sort Of men are, by arbitrary
authority, placed over the people of Nir-
ginia to govern them. If the man who,
by such appointment, fills the highest
Office in,the State is proved guilty of
completely in a contomtiJle, dirty piece
of business like that of this missing let

THE COUNTRY RUINED B LAWYERS
WHOLESOME TRUTHS FROM A RE
PITRI IcAN sTNATCR

Senator Spraguc Of Rhode Island gave
expression to the following opinions, re-
Gently, in the United States Senate
"The great evil in both houses of Con
grcss was that too many Of the members
were lawycrs--mcn educated only in
one line, in one range of IDEAS and ex-
pericnce, and therefore incompetent to
represent faithfully the diverse interests
and necessities of the great mass Of the
people. Of the siNty-siX members Of
the Senate, forty-iyo were lawyers, and
of the re naming twenty -onc, five had re-
ccivcd legal education, and most of the
few remaining members were guided and
governed by the teachings of the law
tycrs. 10
In the House, the propondcrancc of
members of this profession was even
greater than IN the Senate. Some States
had no other Representatives. This was
most unwholesome state Of affairs. lie
was not of those who worshipped the po-
ltical system transmitted to US by our
fathers, or attributed to it our great ma
terial growth. The main-springs Of our
prosperity had been slavery and foreign
emigration. The tormer had stimulated
the growth Of cotton and made it an
American monopoly, and SO had .builtpP
the manufacturing, commercial, and rail-
road interests of the North, and these
had in turn invited and grown upon for
eign,. emigration The politicians had,
of course, had something to do with the
promotion of each of these great inter-
ests, but all that these had accomplished
was the building up Of two great powers
for mutual destruction.
The politicians had never been willing
to let the people know the true state Of
the country. They had failed to warn
them of the approach of the late war,
and had plungcdthein intoit unprcparcd.
The politicians stilI adhered to the same
blind policy, but he had already done
something to let the people know the
true condition Of the country, and he
meant to do more. The object of the
majority in Congress seemed to be rather
to pcrpotuate the existence of party
than to promote the welfare of the Peo-
pie but no party could ha9o his sup
port which did net make the prosperity
and contontment of the people It's ehlef
object. A party which failed in this
failed in the great purpose for Which
alone it had right to exist. -aasa

Grants Last Change Of Front.

E
[ffom the Chicago Timesl
The appointment Of Gen. Sheridan a.
the SUCCESSOR of Gen. Sherman will take
most men by surprise. Norwill the sur-
prise be an agreeable one to a majority
Ct people without regard to party.
Sheridan is kerry young man. lie
is a man WHO Las done some service to
the country, butnoae chat compares with
what. was performed by. dozen other
GENERALS. lie retricveda disaster In the
shenandoah valley, and turned Q rebel
victory into an annihilating dofoat. lie
did saod service when Before Richmond
in charging upon the demoralized and
wasted columns Of Lee. Apart from this,
he has done nothing. He was a quar-
termastcr in Missouri, in which position
he failed 50 badly that he was removed
from office. vyg aaw vggv ngrgs
To give him all the credit which lie de-
serves, we5need oafy say That he does
not know what fear is; that he has a
bulldog tenacity in sticking to fight
when once in; that he is one of the best
cavalry leaders in the service; that he
will do just what he is ordered to do, with
out question or hesitation. To effect
these good qualities, truth compcls the
assertion that lie cannot command an ar
my; that he is a complete failure as an
infantry leader; that he has been fail
urcin everything he has undertaken,
save in tie conduct of cavalry. He is a
shockingly profanc swashbucklcr, who
has dash without judgment, gallantry
without executive talents, and a blind
instinct of obedience that will halt at no
obstacle.
Compare with this man that veteran
warrior.that gcnial soldier andripc states
man Thomas. Why was this young man
Sheridan promoted over the head Of
Thomas-a man who is believed by men
of judgment to be second. to no leader
in the service of the Federal Govern
mcntY Does Grant wish to give color
to Blair's charges of intended usurpation
by promoting man on whose obedience
he can rely, whose conscience is no bar
to any effort, and who may borelicd on,
body and saul, for any undertaking.
Did General Grant fear that the integri-
ty of Thomas would stand in the way Of
any designs which lie may be entertain
ing
What effect will This slight have upon
Thomas and Thomas friends, it is diff
cult to forcsec. He is too good soldier
to take any action which will show that
he is Inundated I; but the world will none
the less understand the Slight, and sym
pathizc with him in his present position.
Of course the veteran hero of Chicka-
manga, and Nashville, and half-score
Of other battles, each one of which invol-
we'd more generalship and more substan-
tial service to the country than all the
acts of Sheridan put together, can do
no more than receive the humiliation in
silence. 1t may be that events will, in
time, leave him reason for qualification
that his age, his seniority, his services
and skill have thus been overlooked in
favor Of one who may prove q pliable in
strumcnt for bad purpose.

THE CUBAN REBELLION.

Private letters from Cubarevcal q most
unhappy state of affairs in that island.
Many outragcs are committed by the
Spanish troops and volunteers. Arrests
arc very numerous, and a wide spread
alarm prevails among the people, hun
drcds Of whom are fleeing from the is
land to places of safety, many of them
seeking refuge in the United States. A
letter from an American ia Cardonas
says;
"Tho revolution is progressing, not
withstanding all the efforts of the Span
iards to stop it. The treasury is bank
rupt, and appeals are made in the papers
for subscriptions to support the volun-
teers in the field. but think all will be
in vain. In a few months more theyel-
low fever and cholera will find abundant
food in the ranks of the unacclimated
Peninsulars that are coming or are al
ready here. They are afraid here that
the insurgents will make raid upon
them and destroy the crops, though they
try to puta hold face upon the matter.
Hundreds are being arrested all the time.
The Moro Castle is said to be full of
prisoners"
From letter written at 2!anzanllo by
a native Cuban, We make the following
extract:
"Aflairs here are growing worse and
worse every day The insurgents are
rapidly increasing il number, and ex-
tending themselves all over the island,
They lave taken away the slaves from
all the estates in this neighborhood, and
have armed all the able bodied negroes,
The Captain General granted a general
amnesty for all the insurgents who would
lay down their arms, but they have not
taken the least notice of it. ON the con-
trarY, their hatred toward the Spanish
Government seems to increase daily, and
they all appear determined to throw off
thG Spanish yoke. The city Of Bayamo
which was the focus Of the insurrection,
was completely destroyed on the APP
oroach Of tho Spanish troops, and now
thousands of families are Wandering
about the country homeless and in the
most dcplorablc state Imaginable. The
Observation-Disclosures are acting shocllingly,
stealing and assassinating in every diroc-
ton. Here VIC see nothing but soldiers
and Spanish volunteers, for all the Gu
ban Young men have joined the insur-
gents.

ELIGIBILITY OF THE NEGRO TO OF
FTCE


FTCE.
We find in the Savannah Ncics q very
lucid aud forcible argument of Judge
FLEafSG on this subject. We give the
points as not without interest though
citizenship and the right to vote, admit
ted to be conferred, leaves Office holding
a question of less importance.
The Judge says that our goycrnnicnts
IN the bcgirning were organized by,
ard to be administered by, white men,
ard that the negro was excluded there
from as race, coleF being evidence of
race. Some of the States at an carly
period made negroes citizens of the
Slate bat this did not and could not
make them citizens of the United States.
Such was the original status of the
negro in this country. Thc Judge adj
mits that this status has boon changed,
but insists that it continues SO far as it
has not been changed by Congressional
action, constitutional provision or Leg
islative enactment. We cannot go be-
yond the letter Of the law and infer
changes.
Citizenship is but a qualification and
but one of the qualifications for the ex-
ercisc of political rights. Some arc
born, some are made citizens; but in
neither case does citizenship alone give
the right to vote or hold office. Minor
children and women are citizens but are
disqualified. Statutory provisions or So
cial customs disqualify others. Such dis
qualifications may be removed. Leg
islation cannot make black man white
man but ii may give him the same po-
litical rights by removing the disqual-
fcations of color or race.
These disqualifcations have been re-
moved by Congress (not righlfully) as to
citizenship and the right to vote; but
neither by Congress, the State Constitu-
ton or Legislature as to the right 10
hold office. The disqualification as to
this right which has existed from the
origin of the government has never been
removed. Congress did not do it, as il
recognized in the l4th article the right
Of the States to exclude both negro vot-
ing and Office holding. The State Con-
stitution did not do it as it simply in
express words adopts the Code and the
Code was enacted for white men and
while prescribing qualifications to office
for white men in no instance removes
the disqualification from the negro
The Code defines the rights of colored
persons but does not confer the right to
hold office.
Such are the leading points of a very
interesting legal argument. Tho last
Congress attempted to surmount the DIFF
6culty by inscrtingin the 10Th article
the right of the negro to hold Office but
it failed to pass; so the negro will have
to wait probably fora special enactment
from some so-callcd Georgia Legislature
in his behalf.

TAXATzON.

Mn. EDifoR: TIE exhorbitant and
oppressive tax imposed upon the people
of Georgia ''to carry on tIfc peace" is
well calculated to cause apprehension
and alarm, and to call forth the impor-
tant enquiry, "can We bear these bur
dens if they continue to increase year
after year, as they have done since the
end of the late unfortunate rcbellion?-
Is there not virtue and common sense
enough diffuscd among the masses Of our
people to rcbuke the land sharks who
are fattcning upon our impoverished and
oppressed country Is this a time
for the multiplication Of Offices, and for
high salaries DO not the times and
the circumstances of the country loudly
call for Tctycnchmcnt and reform, and
should not the people demand these
things if they value what little is left
them, and regard the future welfare Of
their children 2" Let these questions
receive that consideration which their
Importance demands. | see that Cobb
county is fully awake upon the subject.
Let Cherokee awake also let the whole
state awake; and let the call for the re-
duction of Offices and salaries, and the
end otpriaccly crt,dcdgd'cc, rcvcrbcrate
from the mountaips to the board. |
propose, with your consent, to continue
to agitqte and ocnHlate this subject, thus
contributing my mite to the end that

may cease. /
