DAIIiSf ENQUIRER-SU^: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1874. gnilxj inquirer. JOHN M. MARTIN, UA.I THURSDAY NOVEMBER 2«, 1874. ANOTHER EXTRA. Advertisers nhould bear l& mind that on the 22nd of February, 1875, l propone to issue, for free distribution, an extra edi tion of nmr thousand copies of the Sun day ExquiBSB—an eight page seventy-two column paper. Send in yonr “ads” be fore all the spaoe ia taken. A. It. Calhoun, Proprietor. Rbtobt naya that tho new postal card— which ia aoon to appear—will bo nearly white, will be printed with black ink, aud the border will be narrower than that on the postal card now in nse. The Alabama Legislature did no regu lar business on Tuesday, tho day being devoted to tho inauguration. Wo copy Gov. Houston's address elsewhere. In the Senate, Lioutonant Governor Ligon was installed as presiding officer, and de livered a Tory appropriate ad dross. Mb. Amor West, who was reported to have been murdered at Ccdartown, Ga., on account of his Republican polities, has tnrned up in porson, well and lively, to eontradiet tho report. He was lately from Hartford, Conn., and tho report of his assassination by Georgia Ku-klnx was sent to the Hartford Pant, and published in that paper. A nephew of Thaddous Stephens died last week, and his doatli releases tho os- tate of his unolo from a contingency that has heretofore prevented its final disposi tion. By the will, this nephew, had ho complied with its conditions in his life time, might hsvo hecomo the possessor of most of tho estate. But as he did not oomply with the conditions, the estate will now bo devoted to tho founding of an orphan asylum in Lancaster for tho bonefit of persons of all denomina tions races and colors. Tmt Atlanta Herald nays that Dr. Little, State Geologist, will soon visit Oolntnbus or its neighborhood, to trnoo out a vein of marl, which he has alrosdy traced through Mississippi and Alabama, and which ho is pretty certain runs from tho Ohattahoo ohee near Columbus across Georgia up to Burke eouuty. This vein has beon struck at several points on or near tho Mobile and Girard Railroad, aud one of these points is near Seale. Bat we are not informed as to the locality where it crosses the Chattahoo chee. The tracing of the vein into Geor gia will be interesting, and wo hope may prove beneficial to the agricultural inter est. Dr. Little has a high opinion of tho value of this marl an a fertilizer, when combined with others. In tho Fourth Congressional District of Alabama (Hay’s) at the recent election, 4S,7(i9 votes were oast, 7,666 more than at the election of 1872, being considera bly more than ono-fifth of the wbolo vote cast iu the Ntato. The oounties overrun by Federal troops, Marshals and Detectives werj Himiter, Hale sml Greene, and in thevo oountios the Radical vote was largely increased, notwithstand ing the heavy negro emigration from them last fall and winter. Had each of tho six Congressional Districts voted thus largely, the total voto of the Htato would have reached 262,254. Iluy's majority in the District was about six thousand. It is evident that there was fraudulent voting, as well as persecution and intim idation of the Domocrats, in that Dis trict, aud tho noit Congress ought to in stitute a searching investigation. A Union of Tebbob in the Coal Re gions.—Tho Philadelphia Chronicle says : If a tithe of the lawlessness that now pre vails in tho coal regions of this State pre vailed in the South, wo should have an immediate call made upon the President for troops, nnd our Republican co tempo rarioa would bristle with indignation, hut whea in tho siuglo county of Luxorno six white men aro cruelly murdered, and sooros of others brutally assaulted, those outrage shriokers have nothing to sjjy. Why? Suppose six negroes had been murdered in Louisiana, Arkansan or South Carolina, what would our Republican co- toinporaricR have to say ? Is not a white ninn's lifo as valuable as a negro’s, and is it not as proper to shriek out aguint such outraged in our own State as agaiust tho apocryphal onoa of the South ? The storm of Suuday night was very severo and destructive at other poiuta than those in Alabama from which the groatest disasters aro reported by tele graph. The Rome Commercial says that near Ccdartown the storm wus very se vere. At the Ghorokoo Iron Company’s farm, tho gin house was unroofed, three tenement houses blown off their found n- dations and scattered for hundreds of yards through the field. Capt. Griffith’s residence was unroofed, leaving the fam ily to tho mercy of tho storm, wind ami rain for the balauco of the night. Trees iu tho yard were uprooted, bee gums Mown over, window sash nnd glass blown out, orchard trees leveled with the ground, besides other damage around generally. Fortunntoly no lives were lost. BPRUE PAYMENT*—MODE MONEY. It is pretty w#ll settled (if newspaper reports from Washington can. be relied oo) that President Grant will,In hi* *hort- ly forthcoming message,*urge upon Con gress measures preparatory to an early return to speais payments. As the tneaua of bringing about this desirable result are not so well defined, it is premature to dis cuss the practicability of the measnro without greatly embarrassing the busi ness of the country. We may say, how. ever, in a general way, that there is no party in the country more in favor of a specie-paying enrrenoy than the Demo cratic party, and this desire is confined to no Ktate or section—it is one of the cardi nal principles of tho party. The advocate of more currency is not necessarily an ad- vocate of irredeemable currency—in the present condition of the country and its finances, he is not even presumptively so. It is believed by many (and we are of them) that tho immense revenues of this Government, with its vast resources, aro sufficient to sustain a return to specie payments at any time, without lessening the volume of the currency. But a ma terial chango in the present financial aud revenue policy of the Government seems to be prerequisite. We do not see how resumption isever to be reached if the Gov ernment continues to collect all tho gold and silver coin for its impost duties, thou pajH it out to its bondholders for interost, they in turn selling it to the importing merchant* to be again paid into the Treas ury and perform the satno round over again. It seems to our crude perception that the Government most do one of two things boforo it can make a start in tbo business of specio payment, or in bring ing its curreucy np to par value, which is substantially the same thing. It must either stop paying all the specie, a* soon as colleotod, to the bondholders, and al low it to be used in the bnsinoss transac tions of the people, or it must honor its own paper by receiving it for all dues to the Government. Tho only difficulty in tho way of roceiving legal ten ders in tbo payment of impost duties is the necessity of raising so much gold and silver money to pay tho bondholders their interest. But if tho Govornment makes its legal tenders re ceivable in payment of all its revenues, say $200,000,000 now collected in specie for tariff duties may be paid in green backs, would ffbt this very measure bring the Government paper monoy so near par ms to prevent any complaint that tho bond holders wore legally entitled to a bettor currency ? It would require tho passage through the onstom houses annually of one-fourth tbo greenback currency of tho country, and would ohviato tho grout de mand for specie that enhances its value. Wo may be ajittlo biased by prejudice in our estimate of the money brokers; but wo do honestly beliovo that, possessing tho power and resources which thoy now possess in this country, they will not per mit tho success of any Government effort to roturn to specie payments, so long as its policy gives them tho purchase aud sale of $200,000,000 in gold annually, in itnoxchango from the hands of tho favor- od bondholder to that of tho needy im porting merchant. Thoy make too much money by this exchange to givo it up, as long as they have the power to rotain it; and if the Government money is brought up to par with gold, they will of conrso have to give up these profits. A return to apeoie payiueuts by a con traction of the volume of the currency will not be acceptable to tho people of a large portion of the country, especially to the sections now oompluining of a defi ciency of currency. Tho faot cannot bo ignored that, undor tho prosout system, somo sections may be “flush" while oth ers have not currency enough for their commercial purposes. Tho Bouth is not tho only section thus circumstanced. Tho great West also fools the grievance. Their produoe of agriculture and live stock is often dependent for its market value not so much upon tho law of supply and de- iuaud as upon the now code of the produce cornerors aud tnonoy changors, nnd these have their homes and interests iu the great cities of tho country—Now York, Chicago, Arc. The agriculturists and Htock raisers of tho Bouth and West find tboir industry shncklod and their inter ests paralyzed by tho coutroi which these speculators nnd monied men linvo ob tained over tho markets of tho country. By thiH control of the imiuouso indus tries aud commerce of vast portions of tho Union, they make this couutry koen- ly realize “How wlilo the limits stand Botwcon a splendid and a happy land/’ Cannot these important products of tbo Bouth and Wost ho made tho basis of banking “accommodations" to tho pro ducers, instead of continuing to be tho stakes for which gambling speculators piny, to the utter disregard of the inter ests of tho producers? Heroin, iu our judgment, consists the healthful solution of tho prevailing business embarrass ments of tho couutry. Under our old banking systems the crops of tho plant ers were really the basis for such accom modations; for though tho growing crops were not actually pledged to bankers, as they now are to merchants and others, a planter's means constituted the basis of his credit nnd enabled hiui toobtuiu snub advances or loaus as ho ueeded. Tho bonds of tho Oovjrnnienfc being mostly in thohond8 of Eaatorn capitalists, we do not see how banking restricted to tho do- Kki.loog'b returning board is still mak ing “haste slowly" in counting the votes. On Monday, tho board, after somo oppo sition on the part of ouc of the Radical mombera, determined to count tho whole vote of Now Orleans, notwithstanding alleged informalities in tho muking of the i 1 W8 ^ °I bonds can adjust tho amount of curreucy to tho business wants of oacli section. But if the production ot a sec tion can bo made the basis of i‘s circu lating medium and tho moasuro of the crodit of its producers, a proper adjust ment would seem to ho an easy matter. Thus viewing the matter, our impres sion \% that substantial, durable and i legitimate relief to tho portions of the roturns from somo of the DUtricts. The only parishes from which the board hud not receivod the official roturuu on Mon day wore DeSoto aud Lsfayotto. The Pi:ayune of Tuesday said that tho roturas froui both these parishes were in tbo city ; that tho supervisor of Lafayotte kept him self hid, and tho DeSoto supervisor was i .. .. * ... country now complaining of the lack of offering 13 doctor tho returns of that | curroncy, can only he secured by a mate- perish for the sum of $i,ooo.

They at first thought it a large white gander. It measured over eight foet from tip to tip of its wings, was larger than the largest tur key, and had black feet aud bill. We learn from tbo Atlanta Herald that the colored people of Greene conuty will hold u Fair on the 2d, fid and 4th of December, in which they will bo encour aged and assisted by the whites. Tbo Herald says that this will he the first col ored Fair ever held in the South. —At McDonough, on Monday evening, Thomas Jones killed Moses Dobbins by cutting his throat. No particulars havo been rccoived, except that Jones called Dobbins out behind a store, and there committed the murder. Jones tied to wards Atlanta, aud the Sheriff telegraphed to that city to have him arrested. —Commissioner Smith, of Atlanta, had seven white men and one nogro boforo Liiii, on Monday, under arrest for viola tions of tho Enforcement law. There wore three distinot casus. Two of them were dismissed as frivolous,and the exam ination of the third case (against Mr. B. H. Hardin alone) was not concluded ou Monday. —We loarn from the Atlanta Constitu tion that a jndgraont for $15,140 25 and costs of suit has just boon confirmed by tho Supreme Court of Tennossoo against the State Road, the complainant being the Kentucky and Marine Insnrunco, the Nashville nud Chattanooga Railroad be ing, originally, co-defondant with the State Road. —The Savannah Bun reports a fatal affray at llomorsvillo, Clinch county, on Friday morning, in which Mr. N. 11 Brady, sheriff of tho county, and li brother, Mr. Jackson Brady, wero killod by some parties whoso names have beon given us as Bill Blouut nnd liis non, Geo Hunter, Bill L?o aud Tip Paggol—all white. —Tho Rome Commercial reports “novel robbery.” The store of Dr. StricklAnd, at Cave Spring, was entered and robbed on Sunday night last, by n mute from the Deaf-and-Dumb Asylum at that place. Tho monoy, nbuut oight dol lars, was found in the mute's stocking next to the skin. —Policemen M. J.

Tho blow oausod inflammation of the bowels, from which ho died on Monday morning. All tho circumstances, as well ns Hall’s declara tion, showed that tho nnfortuunte affiar wan an accident. —Tho prisoners who esonped from jail in Macon ou Sunday morning wore John J. Dunn, who killed Sam. 1). Rainey in Dooewbcr last and who was found guilty of manslaughter last wook, George F. Abel, who killed John J. Cherry, and Thomas A. Gray, who killed Wra. T. Hays in Fort Valley somo mouths ago. The Telegraph says that tho nrinoiior%were all confined in the same cell in tho east cor ner of the jail, in the rear, and they mudo tlioir escape by cutting a hole through tho ceiliug and opening a way out through tho gablo end of the wall. Their cell was in the second story of tho jail. A re ward of $500 is offered for the apprehen sion of Abel. President (Irani and the Civil Rlfthta Bill. The President, in conversation upon tho Civil Rights bill, is reported as having exprossed the opinion that he has always looked upon some of tho measures advo cated in that connection as exceedingly unwise; that ho does not think that legis lation designed to regulate tho social rela tions of any class of people is judicious, and generally gives riso to a state of feel ing calculated to do more mischief than good. There were some things which had better find their own level than to force results out of the natural course. Every citizen, he believes, is entitled to cortain rights, and be he white or black, rich or poor, those rights should bo enjoyed in uutrammolod freedom. So far, he hus fa vored civil rights, but when it has been brought up as a social ques tion, m which Congressional inter ference con effect uo bemliciul re- suits, and only annoy a very large, intiu- ontial and intelligent class, ho haH oppos ed uuy furthor stops; aud had the bill be fore Congress last session beon presented for his signature, os already known, lie would have vetoed it, uud that be will do with any other bill of a similar nature with similar provisions on social ques tions. In tho matter of mixed schools, the President is reported to have remark ed that to enforce such a moasuro would be of no servico to the colored man, and would destroy tho common schools of the United States, and deprive the poor of all elasses of an education. What chango there might bo in public sentiment in tho future he thought tlio future had better detormino. It was quite evident to him that mixed schools would drive away tho childron of a large class who neod education, and for whom tho free schools wero first established. IIo only alluded in this matter to tho past of tho national government. As far us tho notion of the States wan concerned, that was a question entirely looal and for them to decide. If pnblio sentiment favored mixod schools they could hove them, but it wan no part of tho duty of Congress to force such a measure whether or not upon communities of antagonistic viows. The President thiuks that there should bo ap propriate provisions everywhere for the education of the colored race; nnd expe rience has already demonstrated that where the numbers are great they should havo their own schools sml a proportion ate share ot the receipts for the support of schools; aud where tho numbers arc small, they havo almost universally been admitted to tho public schools of the whitoM. ALABAMA 9KVB> —Governor Houston has appointed Gapt. Ike Vincent, of Chambers county, Recording Secretary of the Executive of- floe. —The Tuskegee Neves strongly urges npon p’outers ot Msoon county to give the preference to negroes who voted the Democratic ticket, in hiring labor for next year. —At an auction in Tnskegeo on Satur day, fine mules brought from thirty-three to ninety dollars. Cotton seed 13 cents per bushel. Com 90 oents per bushel. Fodder 90 cents per hundred. Sweet po tatoes HO cents per bushel. Hay 37 eouts per hundred. —The State Journal estimates the cot ton receipts at Montgomery for the cur rent year at 60,000 bales at least. Wo be lieve that Montgomery will get largely more than 60,000, judging from tho amount already received there. Unless she does, Columbus will draw out ahead again. —The Montgomery Advertiser says that shipments ot Alabama iron are daily be ing made over the Selma, Rome and Dal ton Railroad to Charleston, and thence to England. This is rather reversing the tide. It was but a few years ago that England supplied the Western World with iron. [Communicated.] Columous, November 25, 1874. Messrs Editors;—I do not propose to extend this communication further than to say, that the title to Rock Island Paper Mills Lot tens not accepted on my opinion, and that if its acceptance had not been sedulously concealed from me for three years, I should have moved for a judg ment vs. the Eagle Manufacturing Com pany for about $7,000, which I only re covered after a fierce contest in 1873. I now maintain the opinion given in that certificate, upon the facts presented to mo at that time, and sm of the impres sion that the attorneys who subsequently gave their opinion, like myself, were nev er called on to examine the ehain of title by which the Rock Island Company claim ed to hold. The validity of that title was accepted by the Eagle and Phenix Manu facturing Company os a foregone conclu sion, aud the only questions submitted to iuo were: 1st. The form of oonvoyanoe necessary to divest the title ont of the Rock Island Company. 2d. Whether there wero any liens against the lot os the proporty of the Rock Island Company. I do not intend to discuss this question further, or allow a side issue to draw off the attention of the citizens of Columbns from the main question: 1st. Ought tho city of Coiambus to give up its title to the unimproved water lots? 2d. Ought they to insist on an author ized acknowledgement from the Eagle and Pheuix Manufacturing Company and John J. Grant that they hold said proper ty subject to all the conditions contained in tho deed to John H. Howard and Jo sephus Echols. R. J. Moses. ANNOUNCEMENTS.
