HoN. J. 9. c1EM.urs SPEECH.


The Washington correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution writes as
follows:
The house has gotten over the
bulk of the apportionment bill by
fixing the number at 325. This
large figure caught the democrats OF
Texas and South Carolina, as we'll as
some from New York, as it helped
each of these states.
The increase to 325 seemed unjust
to the bulk of the democi attic side,
and the solid Georgia delegation vc,
ted against it except MIR. Stephens,
who was absent, and Mr.. Speer, who
increased his familiarity with the re-
publican way Of thinking.
One of the clesrest and best
speeches made on The bill Was that
Of Mr.. Clements, Of the seventh, who
varied the rule of presenting ~ arid
array Of tables aud lofg theories
from manuscript, and 10 briei. we'll
knit argument, showed mp the Irjos~
tice Of the committees bill,
1t was bis fret speech in the house.
1t was delivered with dignity which
commanded most respectful attention
and indicated clear head which
will be often needed 10 the delibera'
tons Of this noisy body.
His remarks 10 reply to Mr.. Pres
colt, of New York, wee, think,
especially happy, as the following
extract will show:
"But in his argument to base rep
resentation upon wealth, at least in
part, be designates it as the sine~
for the support of the government
and her bulwark of Defense
81 grant that wealth is important
to the support and defense OF the
government. | would not advocate
any unjust discrimination against it /;
Dor is it to the interest of the country
that dangerous jealousies should be
aroused by an unjust claim in its
favor. The suresi support, the sur~
est "bulwark of defense" for the
government, is coutented, enIightN
ened, and prosperous citizenship,
Astounding with that patriotism which
can be inspired alone by equal laws
conceived in wisdom and adminis-
tered with justice and moderation-a
citizenship who recognize in the
government protector and not an
oppressor.
ave have often heard upon this
floor and elsewhere warnings from
trusted statesmen of the dsngera of
too much centralized power in the
federal government but eqaally
dangerous to the states and to the
rights of the people would be the
gathering of undue and dispropor-
tionate power to the stronger states
at the expense of the weaker. do
not believe that the people of these
great states or a majority of their
representatives upon this floor are
prepared TO sanction the pending
BILL"

What is civil government institu-
ted for 7 Do the spoils of Office con-
stitute it's chief purpose ! The Re-
publican party has been acting up
on the hypothesis that the main OBJ
ject Of the Government has been the
control of patronage, the distribution
Of the offices, honors and emOluments
as rewards for election services
This shallow view has corrupted all
the political elements of the country.
The great Fundamental truth, that
government is instituted to protect
the people 10 their unaliensble rights
of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, appears to be lost sight of
in the general scramble for the
spoils OF office. To say the least Of
it, we have reached crisis IN our
public affairs, when the protection
of the people in their rights Of per-
sonal liberty, personal security ard
private pre- perry 10 made merely
secondary 10 The spoils OF office.

FAILURES IN The SOUTH.
New York Ttmes.l

The numerous mercantile failures
which have occurred in the South in
the past few weeks are the direct
outcome of the unnatural system Of
credits by which, with a very large
class of tradesmen, the business of an
entire year is based upon a single
staple, and their own solvency is
staked upon the hazard of the wealth
err. The evils of the credit system
are slowly coming to be understood
in the South.

BE PIG OR PUPPY.


How can q man claim to be a
Democrat, and at the same time tell
you he voted for Garfield for Presi-
denti How can man claim to be
an Independent Democrat, and &C
knowledge that he voted for Grant,
Hayes and Garfield a, the time they
were candidates for the Presidency 7
Yet we learn, that there are some
men in Georgia who are in this cat
egory, and get mad if you iDsinuate
that they are not true blue demo>
Gratis.
If voting the Republican ticket
for President does not align a man
with the Republican party, we are
at q loss to know what would To
abuse the Democratic party and
vote the Republican ticket, and still
claim to be a Democrat is mys-
terry in political science we are un>
able to comprehend or reconcile
with consistency and truth. 1t looks
as if man at heart was a Republic
can and yet was ashamed to be call
ed one Actively in support of the
Republican candidate for the high
est office 10 the gift Of the people,
yet denying the association and
name.
1t illustrates the wolf 10 sleeps
clothing, and also the hypOcritical
christian who puts on the form Of
godliness but by bis acts denies the
faith thereof. We cannot see how q
man can claim to be a true disciple
of Christ, and then go off and abuse
Christ and never have nothing but
praise for the devil. A tree is judg-
ed by it's fruit, and man by bis &C.
tions. A sweet fountain can not
send forth bitter water. We are
disguised with this sychophantic,
double faced, bypocritical, turn
your. coat-to suit-every>crowd, kind
of politicians, who are neither cold
nor hot.
We can respect man who is a
Republican from principle or con-
scientious convictions, who boldly
says be is Republican, and gives
his reasons therefor, and who is not
ashamed to be called Republican,
but we have the utmost contempt
for a man who claims to be friend
of the Democratic party, and yet,
acts in coalition with the Republi>
can party with a view to defeat and
destroy the Democratic party. Be
Democrat or a Republican, but
! don't be a traitor and hypocrite.-
Have the manhood to be honest in
politics as we'll as in mOneyed trans
! actions
Policy is a miserable swindIe.
Never be honest for the sake of poll
cy, bat be honest because it lie right
10 principle. If you believe the
Republican party ought to rule, then
vote with and acknowledge your
fealty to that party. If you desire
the Democratic party to be in the
ascendancy, then act 10 harmony
with the Democratic party, but
don't ride two horses at once, and
for mere spoils of office or it's ex>
pectancy claim to be a Democrat
and then co operate with its enc
mics Be pig or puppy, bat don't
pretend to be both.

that his butcher invariably let his

Vegetation has revived considerably
since the recent rain
Wheat, oats, grass and garden truck,
are looking very encouragingly.
Many of the farmers are done planting
corn
The frost of last week, did but little
injury to the peach crop.
Thieving is still INDUCED in, in this
vicinity. A few nights ago, Mr.. w. Q.
B. Sperow had his barn and spring house
pillaged. The thieves entered the barn,
unlocked one granary; not finding what
they we're hunting, entered a granary
opposite, and took out between five and
ten bushels of wheat. They then went
into the feeding room and unlocked q
chest Thence they went into the spring
house, helped themselves to milk, and
took what butter was in it. Two of the
locks that they unlocked were the late
improved enc. Co.." lock washers in
side. They also took one of these locks
with them. The same week Mr.. Beckley
had nearly all his chickens stolen. The
heads of the chickens were left in the hem
house-they only wanted the bodies.
Our enterprising neighbors, Baker &
Beckley, are engaged in butchering. They
deliver once week, choice meat in this
village, and to the Reighbors generally.
John Lands, ST., on last Thursday,
erected a corn house and wagon shed,
which is one of the best buildings OF the
kind in the country.
1t has been reported by different par
ties of this place, that they have seen
and shot at wild cats, which inhabit the
rocks near the @. V. r. r, bridge. Sam
Harris encountered one some time ago;
shot two rounds at it, causing it to re-
treat. He brought, as an evidence OF the
fact, that it was wild cat, bunch OF
fur, which he shot oHt, to the village,
which was pronounced wild cat fur. The
people are now so much sgitated and
mortified at the thought of having wild
cats in the neighborh0od that they have
organized q company known as the
"wild cat" company under the command
of captain Harris. The company Is to
meet next saturday in the village and
make all necessary arrangements, and
plan the attack, which VIII take place
the Saturday following. A brief descrip-
ton of the conflict will be in the INDIE
