THE WORM IN GEORGIA.
Conflicting Opinions from the South
west.
From the Macon Telegraph


Personal observation yesterday in q portion
OF Southwestern Georgia that has been repre-
sented as threatened with the gravest disasters
from the ravages OF the pest above named,
satisfied US that while comparatively little
damage had been done 30 far, there was the
best reason for serious apprehension for the
future. AS yet-where we were at least-the
worm is hardly numerous enough 10 do great
deal of harm, but they were webbing up, and
II the sun does not kill the young of the second
and third crop, they will likely overrun most
of the cotton fields OF that section. The weather
for the past week has not been as favorable for
their development as the three or four days
Immediately preceding. The sun has played
upon them with great power, and consequent.
" has somewhat checked their activity. ltthey
do not make their appearance within week
In cotton which is forward, it is not probable
thew will be able to do 1t much damage, as
those best informed say it is usually seven
weeks from the first appearance of the fly to
the development of the third and worst crop.
There seems to be variety Of opinion and
experience with reference to this worm, no
TWO men, scarcely, agreeing as to anything
except the damage it generally does when the
third crop stage Is reached.

to-day, the 10Th Instant, In order to allow them
to prepare counter aff1davits.
THE BoNDHoLDERs SUIT AGAINST CARDozo.
The latest litigation is the one brought few
days ago before Judge Melton, in the Circuit
Court. BY Messrs. Morton, Bliss & Co., OF New
York, holders OF South Carolina bonds, against
Secretary of State F. L. Cardozo to compel
him to a(ix tho seal ofsthe State to certain
bonds In their possession. This suit has
already afforded some remarkable revelations
OF The secret history OF Ring finances, and
promises more. The only proceeding In the
suit, thus lar, has been motion, on the 9Th
lnsant, by the counsel for Messrs. Morton,
Bliss l. Co. fur writ of mandamus to compel
Cardozo to seal certain bonds In their posses
sion, amounting 10 $l80,000, aud the return to
oct OF Assembly under which the right to con-
vert the bonds is claimed Is unconstitutional;
that the bonds of Morton, Bliss & Co. were
not issneQ pursuant TO law, and that the very
idenlica! bonds have been already converted.
The case has already, however, produced a
perfect cross-fre OF correspondence between
the Radical officials, In which the secrets ol
the financial churnel house are rapidly leaking
ont. On the 9Th instant Secretary Cardozo
addressed a long letter to his counsel, Messrs.
G. D. Melton and D. T. Corbin, which was pub
llshed ln full In The NEWS of the 10Th instant,
and which reveal some astonishing facts In
relation TO th. secret and fraudulent issues of
bonds by the financial board in New York last
summer. and this has provoked the lively dis-
nisv nf indignant explelives from Governor
Snott which appears In our columns this
morning, aud the equally excited letter 10 OF
treasurer Parker referred to In our specia'
disnatches from Columbia yesterday.

AT one time Governor Scott volunteered
10 temporarily supply the necassitirs o.

and this magnificent offer Of the
kind-hearted Governor was telegraphe6
all over the country, much to his credit, but
the promised aid never came from the Guber
Material purse, and the lnnalicS continued to

upon feshy visitors ur paSsers ly. Under
these circumstances DR.. Ensor obtained from
the Messrs. Gibson and other merchants oil
Columbia supplies for the Immediate necess
ties of the ayslum. and gave them warrants
upon the Slate treasury drawn against ths
legislative appropriations to secure their pay
ment, and 1t was upon these warrants that

A New Way to Pay Old Debts

Editors Charleston Courier.
Old Virginia can rid herself Of tho
incubus of her indebtedness, and be-
come rCjuvCna.ed aud rcinYigorated by
this simple process;
Let each one Of her counties, by
vote Of its people and by consent Of
tue Legislatures Of both West Virginia
and Virginia, sever itsclffrOm the old
State mud attach itself to tho new j,
just as Jefferson and Berkeley counties
did.
Thus the present Virginia can grad
ually be merged into West Virginia,
1t is well known that tic latter corpo.
ration disClaims any responsibility for
the doings of the former. The debt Of
$4O,OO0,OOO vanishcs into thin aiy.
West Virginia simply culargos her
boundaries. or course Charleston re-
mains the Capital; Richmond in time
will become IN important town, in
consequence Of its direct connection
with tho heart Of tho State by means
Of tho Chesapeake aud Ohio Railroad.
The people Of the two sections, al.
ways homogeneous, will be once more
united, Taxation can DO reduced, as
only one government need then be
supported; when us now we arc bur-
lcned with two.
The irregular outline Of our present
limits, Us shown by the map OF West
Virginiu, at Oucc prompts the desire
for more territory, even for the sake Of
symmetry. ---

Tho Election on The 2lth.

In tho law, found in tho Cole, gov
crnipg elections, it is provided by tho
first section Of chapter Sd, that all
State, county and township officers
should bc elected on the 4th Thursday
in October Of every year; and thO I'd
section provides that at the same time
Of tho election Of such officers, there
should DO a representative in the Con-
gresg of the United States elected.
Tho Schedule to the Constitution re.
pcaled the first section in tho Code, and
substituted the 22d day Of August Us
tho time for the election of Estate,
county and township officers" and
whether this carries tho election Of
Congressman with it, is tho great
question Of tho day. This provision
was adopted by the people; and If the
election Of Congressman is confined to
tho time Of The election Of State, county
and township officers, rather than to
tho 4th Thursday in October, then the
Wheeling Rcgistcr-the political or
gan-as well as tho people generally
have been mistaken aud surprised
Tho ID section Of the election law, pro-
yiding for tho election Of Congress
man, appears to have been forgotten
by the Convention, upon tho mistaken
idea that Gopgress had fixed the time
for tho election Of its own members
The people Of this State have thc
right to appropriate representation ia
Congress; and as no one appears to
haze regarded the election on the 22d
OF August, or on the 4th Thursday in
October, as appropriate op binding
and as tho people have failed to par
ticipato on either day, by reason Of its
uncertainty, ii would secn 70 be up'
proprtatc for the Legislature shortly to
assemble, to iix by law tho tlmc and
manner of election Of Congressman.

opinionl Let the popular will DO ex-
pressed and obeyGd-though TIE
Heavens fall.
Not more than three hundred voIes,
out Of . voting population Of twenty
two hundred, have been cast in our
county. What the matter is may be
inferred by the indifference of the poo
pie! It's uncertainty. voter be-
iicvod hO had the right to vote in pur-
suanec Of any law in force. If a few
dozen men should assemble together

NV thlt in times Of peace such VIC
lcncc to public opinion should DO ac-

oil these will suit the people. or Of
