engaged in the Biisiuoss of sending
out Bohemian correspondents for the
purpose of manufacturing public sen
timent for the North, touching the
condition of things in the South, by
“interviewing” the leading public
men in this section, and giving such
distorted accounts thereof os may suit
their purposes.
In a late issue of that paper we see
that one of these traveling “inter
viewers” met with rathor a hard case
at Covington, in the person of our
friend Judge l’urmedus Reynolds,
who is well known throughout Geor
gia as a distinguished member of the
Ixigislaturc in days of yore.
It may be interesting to our readers
to know what this Bohemian said of
his “interview” with the Judge. It
is in these words:
Among a number of persons to whom
I was introduced in town was an old gen
tleman, aged about 70, who was reading
Tire Atlanta Son, Mr. Alexander H. Ste
phens’s organ. His name is Judge Rey
nolds. Just who tlw Judge is, or wbut
he is judge of, I am unable to say. But
I aiu told that lie lost a fortune by the
war, but if. still wealthy, and that bo is
considered the ablest mau in Covington.
Ha has a good-sized bead, broad fore
head, towering perception, wiry eyebrows,
keen eyes, large nose, and a firmly-closed
mouth with its oornere pointing downward
He looks like a good man to avoid in dis
cussion. Owing to the prominence of the
man I determined to ask
JU1XJK REYNOLDS VIEWS.
“Well, air," said the old gentleman
“ I will givo you my views. The South
line been badly treated since the war. If
tbo war Iquoqr: Gen. Grant?] bad dealt
generously with us wo would have got
along very woll.”
Tho Hepublioan party has had control,
Jndgo.
“ That makes no difference. Tho ma
jority of tho Northern pooiilo scud radi
cals to Congress. If they desired to leg
islate for our interests they would not
oloct radicals. They huve oppressed ns
with the constitutional amendments and
tho.ltoconstrucliou acts, and a! 1 sorts of
unconstitutional impositions. What
guaranty havo we in linking our fortunes
with the Northern Democraoy, that we
will be better off than now ? They are
not over kind. We have no guaranty.
In my opinion there is only one course
for the people of tho South to follow.—
Let them hold aloof from any departure
from tho principles they have slw.iys
maintained. I do not believe tho amend
ments to the constitution ere valid, be
causo they interfere with tho rights of tho
States."
Do you expect to annul those amend
ments ?
“No! Wedon’t expect to do anything
except submit quietly to wbut wu can't
help, refusing to affiliate with any party
until tho time comes when wo can better
our condition. Wo will probably vot^
tho Democratic ticket, but we wilt not
aoquieeoe in their platforms, or advocate
any of their dootrines. In foot, I w .11
opnoeo thorn on theatnmp, in tbo Hoc so,
ana everywhere. I have not sinoe the
war seen tho party in this country that
snita’nae. I believe in the old dootrines
of the constitution and State rights; I
believe the amendments to tho constitu
tion and tho reconstruction acts are nu-
constitutional, and I have hopeB that some
day we may overthrow them. But uutil
- the Demooratio party she’l enunciate
those prinoiplos as a party, it oannot ex
pect to receive the vote of tho white peo
ple of the South; aud while wo may qui
etly submit, os I said, to what wo cauuot
avoid, wo cannot believo iu that party,
acoopt its platform, or advocato the prin
ciples it seems to have adopted. Tho is
sues I speak of are not dead.”

Iu reply to the above, tve can only
repeat what we said in our issue of
the 22d. The article was not taken
by us from the Republican, and we
do not know whether it is editorial
or not. The copy from which it was

some other newspaper and handed to
us by the person requesting its publica

“A Subscriber” the information he
desires. We published the article of
the 22d because we wore requested to
do so—accompanying the same with
such comments os we thought proper,
disclaiming any intention to become
parties to the criminal prosecution
now pending, or even expressing any
opinion on the merits of that case, or
in any way committing ourselves to
the extravagance of tho language
used against any parties before con
viction; and we specially referred
the whole matter to the Courts and a
Democratic Legislature to ferret out
the facts.

Startling Disclosures—Whut do
They Menu 7
For the information of our roudere,
wo give in our issue of to-day, a very
remarkable anonymous letter, writ
ten from this city, and published in
the Georgia Republican (ltadical) of
the 22d instant, over the signature of
“Lynx,” purporting to muko disclo
sures touching future developments
of a most singular and incredible
character.
We know nothingof the facts upon
which tho statements are based, nnd
must wait for events as they occur, to
see how much truth there is in the
announcements thus made.
Was tho lute most extraordinary
letter of Governor llulloek addressed
to the Chairman of tho Congressional
Ku-Klux Committee, to which w
briefly alluded tho other day—reserv
ing comments upon its character and
unfounded assumptions for a future
occasion—a preclude to the coming
events, of which it was but tho shad
ow cast before ?
The account above given, of whit
transpired between Judge Reynold!
and tho “interviewer” in this instance,
we have no doubt, is much nearer the
truth, than whut wo rneot with in this
class of reporters generally, though
wo toko it for granted, as a matter of
course, that it is as highly colored, to
suit a one sided view, as possible.
The probability is, that Judgo Rey
nolds distinctly told this polit'eal
missionary—in substuuce at least—
that the true friends of the Constitu
tion, North und South, would have
no more guaranty for the protection
of their rights, under tho proposed
doctrines of tho “New Departure”
Democrats, wliioh this “interviewer 1
was attempting to instill, than under
the principles of the authors of til-
wrongs from which the oouutry is
now eutlerriig.
No truer mau to tho Union of the
States under the Constitution, than
Judgo Reynolds is, can be found in
any State. What he, perhaps, en
deavored to impress upon the mind
of “ W. P. C.” was, that if the Dorn
ocratie party of tho Union wished to
secure his confidence and support, it
must stand squarely upon tho pnro
and unadulterated principles upon
which the government was formed.
In this Jndge Reynolds is eminently
a representative man, in Georgia at
least. We do not believe there are
5,000 white men in Georgia, who
favor any other policy—whatever con
trary opinion may be expressed by
any unmber of Bohemians.

Washington, D. 0., July20,1871
I have within the past few days in
vestigated so far as iKissible the state
of Mr. Robb’s accounts, the alleged
defaulting Collector of Customs at
Savannah, und have succeeded in ob
taining an insight into the method in
which tiie corrupt Ring in the Savau-
nali Custom House havo managed
their stupid attempt to cover eight
thousand dollars stolen from “Uncle
Sam.”
It seems that the Old Gentleman
(Uncle Samuel) has been, for some
time, fully aware of what some of his
professedly loyal sons were slyly
doing: hut not having all the evi
dence necessary to “send them up”
lias played the cat and tho mouse with
them, until theyuro hard and fust;
and if they escape the extreme pen
alty of the law they will have to show
more shrewdness in personal defen
sive operations thuu they have hith
erto shown in appropriating the con
tents of the money bags of tho Old
Man Samuel.
To illustrate one of the methods
employed, let us imagine a form,
tilled out something like the follow

tiie former vouchers it was necessary
to insert more names, which was
done without hesitation,and Edward
Polite, Pompey Lewis, Cufty John
son, William Mungen, and other
names, were used, each careful not
to make much oyer 280 hours per
month. The new vouchers were all
witnessed by James Kearney—such
is a specimen of the vouchers emana
ting from tho brilliant Pillsbury, as
sisted, no doubt, hy those higher in
authority.
These vouchers havo been received
month after month at tho Treasury De
partment daring tho post year. I give
September because it seems to have been
the first sent by cx-Capt P., aud was
probably not examined here for nearly a
year after tho labor purported to have
been done was settled for. The delay in
sending from Savannah, and the Bmall
force of clerks allowed to examiao ac
counts, causing a long delay after arriving
here before the fraud was discovered, and
the notice of suspension aud delay of
I’illsbiuy to correct, caused months to
elapse before tho matter wan brought be
fore Mr. Secretary Boutwcll.
Boutwell has known of the defalcation
in the Custom House for somo time, but
as is tho case with ltadical officials,
tried his best to cover tho matter up,
aud allowed Robb and Wellman all the
time they desired to raise the money;
never once intimating that there was a
law to regulate and punish such offenses.
Robb being a warm friend of Buutwell's,
the latter folt bound [to help him oat;
and even after outside parties discovered
tho fraud, and complained to Boutwell,
ho simply requested Robb to hurry up
and fix the matter,
But fortune was against tho collector,
and he could not hurry up. Tho money
could uot be had, and in his efforts to
raise it the whole story got out.
Notwithstanding tho evidence—and it
is voluminous—Boutwell to-day asserts
that thore is nothing in tho matter crimi
nating Robb, aud that ho will be retaiued
as Collector ; but Wellman and other as
sociates will bo dismissed and prosecu
ted.

and out of the oloven thousand dollars

tho money.

Atlanta, Ga,, July 17, 1871,
Editor Georgia Republican:
Yon will no doubt be surprised to re
ceive a letter from me—ono who has so
so stubbornly and earnestly opposed you
in your opposition to Gov. Bullock and
Mr. Blodgett—I listened heretofore to
your speculations with regard to tho mo
tives and ultimate designs of these men,
but wus not favorably impressed by your
reasoning—recent developments, howev
er, so stern and irresistablu, have come
to my knowledge, that I do not hesitate
uow to join hands with you fd opposition
to these renegades.
Tho Washington correspondent of tbo
Now York Herald recently stated that
Gov. Bullook, of Georgia, would soon
follow iu tho wako of tho Northern Dem
ocrats on the “Now Departure.” This
announcement was received hy tho Re
publicans of Georgia as an idle specula
tion. For ono I must coulees that Gov.
Bullock had so long and successfully
playod upon tho hotter instiuets of niy
nature that, I uot only declined to accept
tho statement, hut openly declared it
slanderous and libelous, until the whole
programme of tho “Spread Eagle Tread,”
which is to bring forth such a powerful
and mysterious offspring, camo to my
kuowlodgo in all its minutest details, a
few days siuco. It ia doop laid nnd well
planned; und, of course, a profound se
cret, outside of the inner ring.
Bon, Hill will appear first actor on tho
stago, with Gov. Bullock as stage wana-
ager. His part will bo to inaugumteftho
good movement by delivering speeches
on tho “Now Departure” in vuiious sec
tions of the State.
The second scene will bo an endorse-
mout of Hill by bringing to his support
certain Democratic (heretofore) newspa-
pi rs who have sold out to Bullook and ore
now completely under his control. I
havo the names o' five of these: h eta, but
will not give them now as I prefer to wait
till the list is complete. It will surprise
the good people ot Georgia to learn
wliither some of their faithful “ Watchmen
on (it tmeer" have drifted.
In all this, ol course, Gov. Bullock
stands in the back-ground, but will direct
tho movements of the actors. My infor
mation is of tho fullest, minutest nnd
completost character. He expeets by this
bhuik movement of the Democrats to
oai ty out his original programme of 1SGS,
when he sought to elevate himself high
in social life with the respeotability of
of Georgia, hy giving all, or noarly all
the important offices at his disposal to
iruckhug Dcmocrutio men of some abili
ty, hut devoid of character. He also
firmly expects to save himself from im
peachment This, of course, is a'l very
well.
Ho proposes to keep oat of tight in
this movement for a while, in order to
help Blodgatt and injure Orant. Ho pre
tends all the time to be very strong for
Grant's rc-nominatiou. This js far the
two-fold purpose of i- listing his friend
Blodgett in his vain endeavor to gain ad-1

Important JfnvMM Opinion.
Wash'nciton, July 23.—The Solicitor
of the Treasury, in a long opinion, holds
that when parties act under a decision of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
they ere not| liable, should the Judiciary
Department subsequently overrule the
Commissioner’s deci-ion. This defeats
the claim of the Government for tux on
Bond, Coupon and Dividends for five
months between September 1,1870, and
January 31, 1871, when the officers of
corporations, under the Co^piissionor’s
decision, failed to withhold the tax. The
opinion holds that, in withdrawing the
tax, the officers of corporations act as
agents for tho Government, and are not
equitably responsible for the legality of
the Commissioner's opinions and instrnc
