“Pjiijitw’ has Riz. r ’—The Courier-Journal
relates the following:
We bad the honor of a call yesterday from
a prominent colored statesman - an ex-State
Senator — of Mississippi. "How did ithappeD,”
we inquired, danog the very able conversa
tion which ensned, "that while the entire ex
penses of your State government in 1866
amounted to bnt $260,248 04, your public
printing alone cost you in 1878 no less than
$381,945 66?”
"Well, I don’t know adi&c’ly how it is,

"but the lac’ is, down at Jackson sich things

Atlanta Post-Offick.—The long straggle
over this bone of contention has ended at
last. Dr. Bard has been confirmed by the
Senate, aud as soon as his bond shall be made
good, will take possession ot the office. We
have for tome time expected no other result,
and in f*ot bad made up our mind to be con-
tsut with Bard as quite as good and accepta
ble a man as any of bis competitors. 1/ he
will tiy. he will make a good Postmaster,
< specially if those who have aided him to
obtain the office should not be guilty of the
f lly of forciug him to make a clean sweep
of the subordinates, many of whom are ex
cellent men in their places, and capable of
rendering him valuable assistance.
The Centennial.—We are not sorry for
tLe rebuff Philadelphia has received at tbe
hands ol Congress in the matter of her Cen
tennial show. If it is designed to be & na
tional affair—or fair—we can see no reason for
spending so many millions upon it. Let
Philadelphia erect the necessary buildings
and invite everybody to come and bring ev
erything, and trust to the exposi
tion to pay its own way, just as Huff
ran tbe Georgia State Fair and made
money by the operation. Her idea of mak
ing it au international affair is simply ridicu
lous. Who in Europe takes any particular
delight in celebrating the birth of a repub
lic, aud bow graceful a thing it would be to
invite the royalists of foreign lands to come
h^re and hear monarchies abused ! As tbe
Centennial is, in great part, a speculation
with tbe Philadelphians, we insist upon tbeir
paying the expenses.

Freeman opened tbe fight with a piece of
Farrow artillery, a printed slip conttining
editorials from the New Era white it w is on

of Idaho is jubilant, but cool. He intim ites
that the heads of the present employees in
the Atlanta post-office* must be rolled io the
basket.
He called to-night on Grant, S epheu-tund
Gordon, and thaakad them for the sta^d ti-
ken in his behalf.
Bard’s friends are now moving on the
the breastworks of the ring, and the Presi
dent to-day stated, if by implication, that
Farrow oonld be connected with the reckless
expenditures or malfeasance he would in
stantly remove him. He remarked that the

Washington, March 1, 1874.
The published statement that the Senate]
Committee on '1 ransportation routes to tbe
seaboard had agreed to report that although
Congress ha* the constitutional power to reg-]
ulate railroad tariff, it i« not now expedient
to exercise the power. It is pronounced by
the Chairman, Senator Windotn, to be whol
ly unauthorized. He states that the Com
mittee has come to no such conclusion.
Mr. Eads is industi ious in presenting his
latter project. Tbe sub-oonominee ol railways
1 and canals, to which was referred the Fort
j St Phillips Canal bill, have not agreed to his
scheme, bat hare determined io report the
sabject to the whole committee. Mr. Eads’
bill has not yet been introduced in the House,
but it is expected it will be to-morrow, when
a struggle will ensue wbethei it shall go to
tbe Committee on Commerce, oi the Commit
tee on Railways and Canals.
Eads has cheated some strength for his
though either tbe United States or t
the Claimant Committee appeal for a final i
review to tbe Supreme Coart of the j
United State* in all oases where the amount !
involved it over $3,000, to that when tbe ac
tion of Congress is had on the same, the full
equities and law of each claim shall be made
up for its determination.
The bill further provides for commissioners
to b« appointed in each judicial district of the
United States by the Court of Claims. These
commissioner* are empowered to summon
witnesses, take testimony, employ stenograph
ers, and fully prepare each claim for presenta
tion to the court. The government is to be
represented by tbe respective District Attor
neys, and the *rders of tbe commissioners are
to be enforced by the respective United States
Marshals. The docket of each caae is to be
open to the inspection of tbe publie when
completed.
Other detailed provisions guards the rights
of the Unwed States, and elaini9, by probib*
iiiug unn> ce.ssary delay after commence
ments aud enforcing severe penalty for mis
conduct of tbe commissioners. The costs
and expenses of each case are to be borne by
the successful litigant.
It is olaimed that the enactment of the bill
would save to the government a vast sum of
money annually expended in salaries of em
ployees and other expenses in the various de
partments engaged in examining and set
tling claims, besides great axpeuats to which
claimants are now subjected, coming to
Washington to prosecute the claims which,
under this bill, can bo prepared for determi
nation in their respective| Judicial districts.
There was a rencounter before the Impe
rial Hotel between Congressman Pelham and
Busteed, a nephew of Judge Basteed. of Ala-
I bam a. The quarrel seems to have been the
: result of former words. Pelham’s pistol waft
taken from bim by John A. Elmore, of Mont
gomery, snd while restrained by his cloak
received several Mows from young Busteed,
who was also a trifle bruised. No bloodier
results are apprehended.
Gov. Bard was confirmed to-day by a two-
third* vote, as postmaster at Atlanta. The
| nomination had been pending many day*,

Mr. Witherm introduced in the House
to-day a bill which provides that the act of

Freedman’s Saving and Trust Company, be

ot the trustees and officers of said company
to make loans from the deposits by them re
ceived on reul estate situated in toe vicinity

Rumors of a very bad nature in regard to

Our readers will remember that when the
State Road was leased out, Hen. Alexander
Tl. Stephens became one of the corporators in
the lease, having one-half share of stock in
the company assigned to him. The oompany
leasing the same divided the stock iuto
twenty-three shares. Mr. Stephens' interest,
therefore, represented one forty-sixth part of
the whole interest. He was not present when
the company was organized, nor when the
coutract of lease was awarded or executed.
At the time the lease was awarded, another
company, consisting of Miles G. Dobbins, A.
K. Seago, James R. Wallace, A. C. Wyly, B.
F. Wyly, James Ormand, and other*, put in
a bid of more than $8,000 ptr month, or over
$100,000 a year, over and above the amount
which was bid by the company now in pos
session, and offered persons and corporations
for security, who when the time came, re
fused to sign the bond with them.

to be continued.
mortgage or lien upou unencumbered real
estate, worth eight million* of dollars, if we
recollect rightly, if Governor Bullock would
grant them * short time to arrant©
and make their bond. This request was
denied them. The Governor said, if they
would then, without delay, execute a satis
factory bond, be would award the lease to
them, but refused to allow them any time to
arrange the security. They protested against
what they considered a reasonable request,
inasmuch as they were disappointed by those
wbo bad promised them, but refused when
the time come. Tbeir pre test went for nothing
aud tbe lease was immediately awarded to a
company at more than $100,000 per year less
than a responsible company had offered lo
give.
Tbe moment these facts became known to
Mr. Stephens he withdrew from the company,
declaring that a reasonable time
ought to have been given the other company
to make up their bond, and utterly refusing
to be a i artoer in a contract against which
there was tbe least semblance of unfairness.
He published several letters of some length,
giving his reasons for such action, in which,
while distinctly disclaiming any intention to
give aDy positive opinion as to whether
the lease was unfairly awarded
or not ; yet it was charged
by others to be unfair, and that was enough to
determine his course. Others could do a->
they chose, he acted only for himself.
Mi. Stephens’ actien was criticized by
some, but it was characteristic of that lofty,
chivalrous purity and integrity which have
marked his whole life.
He at once executed * c< nvejance of his
whole interest in the lease to the St Ate of
Georgia, and there he rested the matter.
It seems that this conve}auie to Mr.
Stephens, though he caused the same
to be placed in the hands of the Governor,
was not formally accepted by bim on the
part of the Sta'e, as Mr. Stephens supposed
bad been done, but a meeting of tbe other
stockholders of the company in October, 1871,
nearly one year after the contract of leas© had
been awarded to them, they decided to allow
Mr. George H. Hazeluurst, of Bibb county,
to take Mr. Stephens’ share, and Governor
Bnllock gave his permi-sion and sanction to
this arrangement.
Ia the bill Mr. Stephens alleges that he
supposed the State had accepted of the con
veyance made by bim, and was not aware
of the contrary fact until recently. He de
clares that the grant to Hazlehurst was with
out his knowledge; that no notice of the meet
ing or the intended action was given to him,
and therefore it is utterly null and void, and
that the W. A A. B. R. Company have
never notified bim of their meetings, nor
furnished him with any statement of their
business, aDd demands that the said company
give him full access to all their books and
buftiness from their first organization, and
that they pay over to him bis portion of tbe
profits earned, amounting, he allege*, to one
million dollars, or other large sum.
Last summer Gov. 8mith instituted a
som*h for the original conveyance of Mr.
Stephens of his interest to the State. It
eould not be found. Where is it? Where
did Bullock put it ? Iu whose possession is
it DOW ?
He also caused tbe Attorney General, Hoo.
N. J. Hammond, to carefully tiioune the law
in tbe case, which he did, and decided that
Mr. Stephens’ share was the property of the
State, and cot that of Mr. Hazlehurst.
We give facts only, withholding any opia
ions for the preseut.
