THE GEORGIA EILL.

THE GEORGIA IILL.
The Georgia bill, the peculiar feature of which
was chat it reconstructed state already recon-
structed, passed the house on Tuesday. Outside,
the bill looked simply like applying to Georgia
the same fundamental conditions that were ex-
acted OF Virginia and Mississippi-the ratifca-
ton of the 10Th amendment and the recognition
of niger equality; but an inside view showed
that Butler had SO drawn it as to cover an end

On the demand of Bingham, Farnsworth and
other radicals of that class, these blacker fes-
lures were stricken out, t, Buffers infinite dis
gust. Eatler triumphs, however, in the fact that
the passage of this bill pledges the house to q
new principle IN reconstruction, that will enable
him to bring Tennessee, Kentucky and even New
Jersey or New York into the hozse to De pun
nished for political delinQuencies.
THE TARIFF
The discussion of the tariff bill was finally
opened in the house, ON the Sd, by az elaborate
speech against it by Brooks, of New York. The
chairman of the ways and means committee an
nounced that the utmost latitude would be al.
lowed in its discussion. Mr.. Brooks confined
himself chiefly TO the provisions in reference to
iron, and to showing how the tariff was killing
our commerce. The advocates of the bill are

THE DAT QUEsTIoS.-There is a good deal of
stir just now among farmers on the oat question.
Hitherto good crop of the ordinary oats has
been from 30 TO so bushels to the acre. i few
years ago a new oat called the Surprise" was
introduced, and attracted for time large atten.
ton. The Surprise is indeed beautiful oat.
Properly attended, it will yield from so to IS
bushels to the acre, and an cat that weighs A.
lbs. to the bushel, with a clean, white, plump
berry. nearlysequal to spring wheat in fArna-
ceous matter. The main objection to it is, that
the stalk is tender and oats are apt to lodge
But while the Surprise was in its glory, rival
arose under the name of the Norway" oats.
This is black seed, not as heavy per measured
bushel as the Surprise, but clained to yield at an
almost fabulous rate. Eighty, ninety, and 100
bushels to the acre are claimed as quite common
The stalk is stout and heavy while the raceme lisa
foot long, covered with kernels. The main OBJ.
lection we have heard to the Norway is, that it
needs close culture. and ripens several weeks
later than common oats.
And now comes third claimant to public
favor-the "Cluster' oats, which Mr.. Nathan
Woolsey, of this city, is mainly engaged in push
ing into notice. These are also black, and in
their general appearance all through resemble
The Norway but while they are claimed to be
equally prolific with the Norway, and, under
favorable circumstances. even to exceed them,
they are also claimed to mature from one to two
weeks earlier. The oats have been raised pretty
largely for several years past in this county, and
dozens of our farmers stand ready to testify to
the truth of all Mr.. Woolsey claims for them.
While their stalk is stout as need be, the raceme
divides itself into heavy clusters, from which
they take their name. Another merit deserves
mention in behalf of Mr. Woolsey. which is that
he il selling the seed ut less than half Of what
is asked for tho Norway.

Another indispensable element of leg
islator is solid integrity. A judgment
wisely formed, on just and liberal views
Of civil society, ought never for any
price, to be bought or sold.
The legislator who holds his seat by the

but who will not lend the aid he possess
es, to secure the passage of any desirable
bill without the payment Of a special

and knave, who deserves not to be trust
ed on any account. For it matters not 10 him
whether the contemplated law is just or
equal, ifhe is paid his price he works it
through, otherwise he will not touch it.
The practice Of lobbying, developes the
weakest feature of Republican govern

at the present time in our nation. Fear
full examples of it have been seen among
some Of the most, illustrious men in the

II is now generally admitted by honest physi.
clans, that when once the consumption is fairly
fastened upon the lungs, no human power can
save the patient from death. They also say that
about fifty per cent. Of those who die from this

OF cold, which might have been cured by II bottle
of Liquid Opedeldoc or what is the same thing,

Elective Officers.

Ia Republican government one of the
all elected.
Another Of the peculiar features is that
the government is representative. The
Legislature Of each State is composed of
persons selected from the people and their
acts and decisions have the authority OF
law.
This system, Il. it now exists in these
States, is attended with great advantages
while there are at present some evils that
should be corrected. The lawmakers
being selected from the people of the sew
eral towns, are supposed to represent al
the interests of the State, The acts o.
legislation must be presumed therefore t.
represent, promote, and protect those in
tere, Is moreover to Il considerable extent
all the leading interest may be mad
specialties, in the work of legislation.
Again, it may be presumed that thos
persons to whom the work of Legislation
is committed,are fully competent to ap
preciate those interests, and may be trust
ed for their security, and promotion.
Another important advantage to be sc
cured by the representative system, is tn
uniting and blending of all those interests
to make them protect and promote eac
other That is the best law that apple
in the greatest number Of cases, and Sc
cures the best interests Of the creates
number Of persons.
In order to this, the legislators shout
be men of large intelligence capable c
devoting to any subject the amount of do
liberation; and careful discrimination, tbs
wise laws demand, added to a SCUM
judgment, knowledge of the laws {
political economy is inestimable to a goo
legislator.

Certain prudent heads of families are
writing letters in which they protest
against the late hours which prevail in
modern society" However much a
practice so pernicious is to be deplored,
the discovery of an adequate remedy is
not easy The difficulty of introducing
reforms into the world OF politics, OF
commerce, or of religion, is trifling when
compared with the task of the man who
attempts to reform the world of fashion.
Its usages are as stubborn as they are
arbitrary and the moral courage with
which people attach themselves to new
ideas in other spheres of activity seems
altogether to desert them when confronted
with the capricious tyranny Of social life
1t is Il common characteristic OLA complex
state of civilization that its amusemcnt'
are of an artificial kind, and obtained
under IL certain degree Of pressure. Il
we can succeed in associating simple tas
ties with the possession of the means o
luxury, we shall have resolved problem
which others give up in despair.

During the tendency of the currency
bill in the Senate on Tuesday, among the
various amendments was one by Senator
Morrill, of Vermont, which occasioned
general merriment, to provide further that
if after the census of 1870 any State
should be found to have an excess ofprop-
erty above the average of all the States il
shall be distributed, at the discretion Of
the Comptroller of the Currency among
such States as may have less than the av-
erage, and this distribution shall take
place after every succeeding census.
Senator Drake of Missouri remarked
that the amendment might operate very
benefcally for the State represented by
the Senator from Vermont.
Mr. Morrill's amendment was Of course
rejected, but was timely hit at the eff
forts that have been made to take away
from New England some of its national
banking capital because it had more than
