A Georgia paper says: every vii
lage and borough in the State is pro-
jecting the erection of factories of va
rious kinds. We never knew a period
in the history of Georgia when so
much money was put into manufact-
uring business as at present"
Whereupon the Mobile Register
says: Mark the words" factories of
various kinds. Diversified industry
is the economizer as well as the creator
of States wealth, the guarantee of a
States independence. A State that
produces only cotton and goes abroad
to buy everything else, down to a shoe
peg, can never grow in prosperity.

MANY efforts are being made to SOW
dissension among the Democrats OF
Dallas in the coming city election. All
wehave to say il, beware Of tricks, and
do not be led astray by idle street talk.
The ticket was nominated at primary
election where all the party had fair
chance to vote their choice.
General Cabell, the head of the
ticket, is unassalable ON any just
ground. He long served rs II young
officer of the United States army on
our Indian frontier. He was quar-
tcrmaster in the same army before the
war, and after expanding large sums
of money, accounted to the govern
ment for every dollar before resigning
to join the South. He was chief quar-
ternaster under Johnston and Beaure-
gard the first year of the war in Vir-
ginia, and came out with his garments
unsoiled. His character ms general
in the army of Tennessee, and in the
Trans-Mississippi department, is too
well known to need comment.
The ticket is madeup of men selected
by the popular vote of the party. Vote
for 1t and heed not the voice of the
tricksters.

WHAT NExTe

If the Legislature finally refuses to
call u convention-the idea of COM
mission being distasteful to large
majority of the people--then there re-
mains but one other mode of Kidding
the State of the many obnoxious pro-
visions of the present constitution,
and that is by amendments to be pro-
posed by this Legislature, voted on by
the people in the election of 1875 and
ratified by new Legislature to assem-
BILE in January, 1876. The constitution
itself provides only this mode of
amendment. Still, it is constitutions
al mode of amendment, and as to reg
ularity cannot be assailed. The objec-
ton is two-fold-first, that the consti-
tuition is too Objectionable to be cor
rected by amendment; aud, secondly,
that ii requires full two years to effect
amendments, and then only can n
Legislature commence the enactment
of reformatory laws under them.
Therefore at least three years must
elapse before the country can practi-
cally feel the benefits.
But If this mode shall be adopted by
our present Legislature then we trust
they will prepare series of amend
ments so general and sweeping as to
nalr
public opinion of the State most earn
estly demands that all probate business
shall be taken from District courts and
restored to where it safely rested for
thirty years, until snatched away to
make an excuse for increasing the
number of Radical judges. Under our
old system any Intelligent farmer,
merchant or mechanic could admins
ter on his deceased father or trother's
estate, without employing a lawyer.
Under the present system 1t is other
wise. A county chief justice for pro-
bate business, and with four commits
sioners added for county matters.
worked well well for thirty years. Let
us go back to the simple, honest and
cheap modes of administration where
ever possible.
The amendments lately adopted are
all satisfactory. They relate to the
Supreme court, create the office of
county assessor and collector of taxes,
and restrict the power of the Legisla-
ture In regard to special legislation in |
granting charters, etc.. providing that
these objects shall be obtained by gen.
eral laws. These are wise reforms.
The constitution should clothe the
people, through the Legislature, with
power to increase or decrease the

opinion shall be best calculated to

Agreed to. This of course allows
the Judge to select the paper. but the
arrangement is an improvement on

DISEMROWELING THE
STATE.

The Funders will have a hard
road to travel. Their demands are
nothing short Of a purpose to re-
verse the SIC sEMPER TYRANIs under
which the State has grown illuStri-
GUS. If successful they will lite
rally disembowel the Common

would be easy and simple but for

county of Loudon paid her forty
thousand dollars wholly in coupons
and not one dollar of her tax was
paid in currency. Continue the
policy over the State and we will
not haze a dollar with which to
pay the current expenses Of the
State Government. Then an ad-
ditional tax will have to be levied.
The present legislature is deter
mined to resist the pressure to raise
the rate of taxation, let the conse-
quences be as they may. The
latest proposition is to levy the
Increased amount necessary, upon
whisky dealers and regular mer>
chants, thus violating the spirit Of
the Constitution and causing the
burden at last to fall upon the peO-
pie. If the process could be re-
versed and the current expenses
first paid there will not be left more
than two per cent with which 10
feed the bond-holdcrs.
We had about as well come
home to the proposition, which has
both honor and equity at the bot
tom of it, to pay three per cent on
the whole debt or six per cent OH
