this seemed an impossibility. UptO

THE CROPS.

A farmer residing ten miles up
the river, reports crops in that local
ity to be much better than the farm
ers anticipated a month ago. He
thinks an average crop of cotton will
be made in his neighborhood. Corn
will fall little short of an average,
though fodder is abundant and good.
Sweet potatoes are doing finely
Bainbtidge A1gaS, llh.
Within the past few days we have
had moderate rains, which vii! do
much good but in many instances
they are too late to reclaim the suf-
fering crops.--Cmhbert appeal 1lth.
The crops in this section have suf-
fered intensely for the last two weeks
from the excessively warm, dry
weather. They were looking very
promising until the dry weather set
in, but all hopes of anything like an
average yield, either of cotton or
! corn, have been abandoned.-Etber-
ton Gdsette, 9th.
An observer informs us that he
saw last Monday, a field of some
thirty acres on Lockett's Turnpike
place, from which he thinks bale
might have been picked at that time.
Cotton is opening rapidly in other
fields in the same section.
Generally, the corn crops in this
section are not good.-Albafy Ne'cS,
11H.
After a pretty dry spell for several
weeks, we were greeted on Saturday
evening and Sunday and Sunday
night last, with copious showers OF
rain-which, from present indica-
tions, Monday, forenoon, will be
pretty general, and just in time ia
save the crops; One or two more
good seasons, we hope, will give us
good crops of corn, and improve the
cotton prospect.-LoGrdngc Report
er, 1lh.
The exceeding severe drought
winicrriras Rsgailod in Newton
county for the past few weeks has
seriously affected both cotton and
corn, especially that which was late,
or had suffered for want of work.
Recent rains, however, give promise
of some Improvement in the cotton
prospect.----Corimgt0ss Enterprise,

"For the first time in the history

lead Of the Presidents brothsr-in-

yesterday took possession Of the hall
in which the Louisiana Republican
State Convention was being held,
and forced out the delegates oppos-

those looking for Office remained,
and will undoubtedly carry out the
wishes of Grant and his relations.
The men who have made the Re-
publican party of Louisiana were
virtually driven out Of the ConVen-
ton. Under the leadership of Gov.
Yarmouth they proceeded in body
to another hall, and their Conven-
ton is now in session.

ANDREW JOHNSON ON POLITICS
AND POLITICIANS.

Ex-Prssident, Andrew johnson
was lately interviewed by a N. Y
Tribune correspondent. 1t will be
seen from the following that he is
losing confidence in popular Gov
ernment:
ale did not say who was his can
didate. He mentioned Hancock as
the probable Democratic nominee,
but said he doubted the wisdom OF
nominating military man, for the
reason that the very exploits that
would be harped upon to give such
a candidate popularity in the North
would damage him in the South
No military man, therefore, could
create enthusiasm in both sections.
He thought the welfare of the cOnn-
try demanded change of Admin
istration. "What would you gain"
asked, "by turning out Grant and
putting in Hoffman, for instance,
Who would hand the Government
,ver to the control of the Tammany
Ring 2" "Notbing, whatever" re-
lied Mr.. johnson. eve should
ave only driven away one swarm
f pIunderers to give place to a hun
.rier one. Unless we can elect a
nan pledged to reform we should
ain nothing by change. He should
e pledged to different principles
rom these now controlling the Ad-
or there would be moth
ng to choose between him and
irant." Mr.. Johnson thought the
,reat vice of our present politics was
ack of fixed principles in both par
les, and said that a party without
enets ought not to succeed and was
when in power, because
here was no standard, to hold it to
it was pledged to support

mere scramble for place he thought.

EAToNToN, August S, 1871,


As | have already written you, a
special election was held in Putnam
county to-day for Representative
and county officers. The voting
proceeded quietly, but evidently in
favor of the Democrats, until about
eleven o'clock, when a negro drew
a knife upon one of the police depu-
tized by the Sheriff to keep order
The negro was Immediately arrested
and hurried off to Jail. This excit-
ed the other negroes somewhat, and
one of their number proposed to res
cue the prisoner. This put him in
limbo, and there was much confus-
ion in consequence. About twenty
negroes of the worst stripe then
proceeded to the residence Of the
negro candidate, and armed them
selves with guns and pistols that had
been previously stored there. Re-
turning to the courthouse square,
they made a warlike demonstration,
but were met and dispersed by the
citizens. One or two negroes were
\, in its adoptimne white man shot
slightly IN the neck.
AT the present writing, one o'clock
p. m, everything is serene.
The attack of the negroes upon
the white people was entirely I'M
provoked. There can be no ex-
cuse set up for it. | trust, however,
that they have been learned q lesson.

last year was 32,203. The result,

J SHALL WE HAVE A REVOLUTION
BACKWARDS ?
From the Atlanta New Era
There is not now, nor is it at al
probable that there will be, any
real issue of principle or policy be-
tween the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties in 1872, other than
that involved in the issue between
the Bourbon and the "DePartGriss
Democrats. The former still adhere
to the Democratic platform of 1868;
the latter repudiate that platform
and adopt platform recognizing the
validity of the amended Constitution
and the Reconstruction Acts of Con-
gress. One is committed to the re-
pudiation of articles XIV and XIV,
and also of the Reconstruction Acts
of Congress; the other accepts both
as fnalities, and there virtually en-
dorse the Republican policy, and
ratify the action of the Republican
party, as touching all the leading is
sues that have grown cut of the re-
suits of the war
1t is manifest, therefore, that as
between the "Depaturists" and those
in Georgia who have heretofore act
ed with the National Republican par
ty, there can be no issue. Differ in
party name, as they may, they new
ertheless occupy precisely the same
grounds. There is, therefore, nc
valid reason why both should not act
together in the coming election a:
against the only party that seeks tC
invalidate Reconstruction and the
Constitutional Amendments.
That there is not, and cannot b'
any issue between the Departurist
and the Republicans, is evident from
the very nature Of the case, since
the only issue Of National scoop
now before the people, is involved
in the Constitutional amendment
and the Reconstruction acts. Non
of the minor issues, such as impor
duties, the National finances. foreig
policy, and the internal revenue sys
TEN, have ever risen to the dignit.
of party questions, On each an
all these issues, both the great pc
ntlcal parties have been and ar
still divided. There are Republica
free-traders, for instance, as Their
are Republican protectionists; an
it is notorious that the Democrat
of the Eastern and Middle State
have, with singular unanimity, ad
vocated import duties, while Dem
ocrats of the Western States hav
advocated free trade. And the sam
is equally true in respect to each Q
the other minor or local issues.
The true policy, therefore, for al
those who are nOw willing to accep
articles XIV and XIV and the recon
struction acts of Congress as fina
settlement of the issues involved il
and growing out of the war, is t.
act in concert as against the only
party pledged to the policy of re
opening those issues. 1t matters
little or nothing by what party name
this Constitutional party shall be
known. We may call it Democrat
ic or Republican, Departurist oil
Legitamisi, or by any other name
that may be most euphoneous. The
principles and policy will still be the
same in either case, and the common
end to be attained is embodied in
the old Wing maxim of "The I'm
ion, the Constitution las it now is),
and the Enforcement Of the Laws"
