SEN AToRSHIP.

EDIToR JoURNAL:-Wc observe that the
trct. is being discussed. We hope we are
in order to call public attention 10 man
whom we consider the proper one and who
for certain reasons which we will set forth,
has Just am to it. Major VIM. 7.
WINS election TO the senatorship at the
ensuing election, might justly be regarded
as simply a restoration to an office of which
he was deprived, contrary to law 1t will
be remembered that he was the Senator
from this District, and had partly served
his term, when the Legislature was revised
according to the I'd chapter of reconstruc-
ton Major VIM refused to accommodate
himself to the views of those who ruled at
that time, maintained the dignity and indie
pendencc of his Office, and was elected from
his scat in the Senate.
1t is but simple justice that lac should now
be returned to the Senate. He is entitled
to public vindication, at all events that
tho voters Of the District should have an
opportunity OF approving the course which
he has pursued as their Senator.
We suggest Maj. Winn as one having a
lust claim to the Senatorship. Cobb has
never really had the Senator for Mr. Dun
ming was put in the seat from which Major
VIM was thrust; Mr.. (now judge Ililyer
then succeeded and then Mr.. Howell fol-
lowed. Cobb is entitled to it. Fulton, we
think, viii eoneede this. Clayton will re-
cogni1e the claims OF Cobb, and of the man
for whom, in 1868, she gave o decided
majority.
Maj. Winn will make u capable Senator,
a man of fine practical sense, conservative
views coupled with long course of study.
eminently qualities him to bring the varied
subjects controlled by statue in harmony
with the constitution to be adopted-while
as general rule we do not subscribe to the
doctrine that lawyers are necessary to legisla
tion--yet now, under the peculiarities ofthe
situation il is eminently wise, that either
the Senate or House he composed of a ma
ioFty of men who have made the law a
speciality, and why not the Senate. The
House of Representatives, are under our
theory of government the pepuiiat eustldj.
ans of the rights of people they spring from
and are part of the people while the Sen.
ate stands between the Executive and the
House, the conservative advisory board of

can be done and the Both Senatorial District

ification seems to be a foregone con-
clusion. 1t is the best constitution

our people when they assemble in

Too few farmers, with their farm
products, were seen at the Fair
Those few sample crops, however,
which were on exhibition, were of a
superior quality, and did great cred
it to the producers. But there was
no such show in tnst department
as we saw a few years ago when
Cobb and Bibb and Clayton, and
other counties, contested for the big
premium. That did more for Geor
gia than anything we have seen at
State Fairs since that day. We
would have liked to have seen Gen.
Phillips, of Cobb, with the "banner
county" products in the halls at At
lanta. = Georgia Grange.
Offer inducements next time if
you want Cobb to display herself.

MEXICAN SOLDIERS.

Senator ingalls, bill granting pen>
sions 10 certain soldiers of the Mex
lean war, etc., provides for the pay
ment Of pension Of eight dollars
per month each to all surviving officers
and enlisted men, including militia
and volunteers Of the United States
military and naval service who
served sixty days in said war and
we're honorably discharged, and to
the surviving widows Of such officers
and enlisted men, provided they have
not remarked. The last House of
Representatives passed a bill grant
ing pensions to soldiers who served
in the Seminole, Creek and Black
Hawk wars, but the Radical Senate
was too busy in its schemes for the
contamination Of the electoral fraud
to take up the House bill, which was
therefore lost. Justice to the survi-
vors of these wars demands that they
should be included in any pension
bill that may be passed by the pres
ent Congress.
DIR. FELTON, informs us that on the
call of the States, be will introduce a
bill into the House that will be more
extended in its provisions than In
gals bill, which will do ample JUS
tice to the Mexican soldiers and their
surviving widows.
