hGotornor Conley has issued an or-

tar on printing material until the next
meeting-of the General Assembly. He
irntad this order in response to a peti
tion presented to the Controller Gen
eral, setting forth the hardship of pay-

or three years.

II iasuton the hurried decis-
riaii 'oFtte question made at the last
bn
ry of Now Mexico on the west. This
includes nearly fifty million acres of
fertile country, well watered and tim
bered, with a desirable climate and un
developed mineral resources of great
valne. When the Indians were settled
there it was supposed they would be
out of the way of the white nrui; now
they are rq ht in the path of civiliza
tion, an 1 * j-Alroads are already projected
through the-» territory. ~ “•
In view of the small progress made
by the Indians on these reservations, it
is very certain that the cause of civili
zation will derive little benefit by forc
ing the wild tribes into contact with
them; and it is probable that the whole
project is the device of some new land
grabbing ring, who hope to profit by
this new humanitarian dodge.
The Dade Kc-Klux.—General
Grant’s blood hounds recently arrested
about twenty citizens of Dade county,
under the charge of violating the en
forcement act of Congress. The vic
tims were taken to Atlanta, and crowd
ed into a filthy prison, so many in a cell
that there was not room for one to stir
without disturbing the others. After
n protracted investigation, in which two
or three turned State’s ..evidence, no
testimony could be found to sustain the
charges, and most of them were dis
charged. There was testimony that
two of them had assisted in whipping
some vagabond, who had been stealing,
and they were bound over for trial in
a bond of $2,500 each. The prisoners
were arraigned before Commissioner
Conley, a son of Gov. Conley.
The whole afiair was nn unmitigated
-outrage. These meu were subjected to
expense, confinement and humiliation,
in severe weather, for the infamous
purpose of making political capital for
a party already bloated with bloody re-
veuges. The object failed, but there is
probably no earthly tribunal where the
wrong to innocent citizeus will be
avenged.
The Recent Mnssacree at Havana.
Tbe details of the Havana massacre
are interesting: On Tusday, the 23d
ult, there being no lecture to the first
class «f tbe medical students—young
men under eighteen years of age—some
of them went to the Cemetery, and in
a frolic, foolish, of course, and highly
reprehensible, broke the glass of tbe
niche of Gonzalo Castanon’s grave.
Tbe fact got to the ears of the volun
teers, their enemies, and a number at
once went to verify tbe fact. On as
certaining tbe truth of tbe report, the
rage of tbe volunteers was fearful.—
They ran to their armories, got their
guns, and roamed about the city like
wild beasts. Most of the houses were
shut up, and tbe city seemed deserted
by all except tbe volunteers.
On Saturday, Acting Captain-Gevv
era! Crespo, after a visit to the Medi
cal College, and after having failed to
discover the perpetrators of the glass-
breaking enormity, arrested the whole
class, composed of forty-six young
prise to us. He was not only one of
the ablest men in a very feeble Cabinet,
but manifested on all occasion** posi
tive eagerness to carry out all the harsb,
cruel, and malignant devices of the
administration. There ia not a man in
all America so peculiarly suited to the
work of hunting up imaginary Ku-
Klux as .Mr. Akeiiaau. He iru.ki
the path blazed out by peijuren> and
recreant vagabonds with the keen scent
of the blood-hound, and Southern pris
ons will be standing monuments to tbe
faithfulness with w aich be has done his
master's work.
that militaiy rule is inimical to the
spirit of all free institutions.
Resolved,.5th, That we congratu
late our people upon their comparative
exemption in past from military in
terference in the conduct of their civil
affairs, and welcome the prospective

Tho Retrenchment Committee.
Report of the Committee on the State of
the Ueonblic.
Mr. Wellborn. Chairman of the
Committee upon the State of the Re
public, made the following report yes
terday :
Mr. President: It has been a time-
honored custom in the States of the
American Union that there should be
periodically some expression from the
representatives of tbe people ns to the
condition of the commonwealth.
In discharging this customary duty, else-
your committee will be oardoned, if
from necessity, they briefly allude to
the past.
Tbe journal of the proceedings of
our predecessors, anterior to the war
are replete with evidences of a constant
ly increasing prosperity. The events
of the war turned back upon us the
tide of calamity. The history of the
succeeding years is remarkable for the
number and magnitude of the politital
misfortunes which they have brought
upon us. These misfortunes have fol
lowed each other in rapid succession,
and the efforts of patriotism have prov
en unavailing to stay their progress, or
prevent their recurrence.
In the Spring of 1865 the track of
desolating war was visible upon our
territory, from the mountains to the
sea-board, and every interest was in a
state of prostration.
In the midst of ruined fortunes and
desolated homesteads, our people, in
spired by the memory offormer glories,
and with the hope of better days,
gradually rallied from their fall, appli
ed themselves with singular euergy to
the peaceful work of rebuilding the
waste places, and re-producing that
Georgia which ere while -had shone so
brightly in the constellation of States.
They accepted in a good faith the
results of the war; the paramount au
thority of the General' Government
was acknowledged, and the equal pro
tection of the Constitution and laws of
that Government was confidently ex
pected. With this acknowledgement
made, had her expectations been real
ized, Georgia would long since have
stood forth the foster mother of every
peaceful act, the friend mid protector
of all her people, both high and low,
aud the peer of her sister States.
The temper of her people has been
peaceful and hopeful, and under favor
able circumstances her former con
dition of prosperity would have been

well-nigh regained. The transition
period from military surveillance to lo
cal self government has been one of
E iinful and unexpected duration.—
very material interest of the State
has languished during this period ; the
fruits, both of patriotism and industry
of the people, have turned to ashes up
on their lips; fearful misrule has
thwarted every good design; strangers
and enemies have been in our high pla
ces, and the voice of the people has
not been heard in the high carnival of
the public plunderers gathered from
afar like vultures around our bleeding
Treasury; the vampires have taken
flight at the approach of fresh envoys
from the people; but the work of
depletion and exhaustion has been
great.
The bow of promise is visible once
more, spanning our political horizon,
and the day approaches when the cor
rupt administration forced upon us will
give place to one inaugurated by our
own people, and responsible alone
to them. With such a government,
we may look with confidence to the fu
ture for the realization of the brightest
hopes. With an honest Executive,
who will neither rob us nor slauder us,
we may confidently expect not only a
return of material prosperity, but im
proved relations to the General Gov
ernment. The prevailing sentiment
of conservatism and prudence which
characterize the body oi our citizens is
regarded as an omen of good and an
earnest of the strength of their devo
tion to the true interests of their coun
try. If left free to move in our consti
tutional orbit, every human being with-,
in the limits of our State .will be fully
protected in the enjoyment of life, lib
erty and property, and every constitu
tional obligation to the General Govern
ment promptly discharged.
In the opinion of your committee,
the people of Georgia are not responsi
ble lor any actual or alleged disorders
within her limits. Neither Excutive,
Legislative nor Judicial Departments
of the government have been under
their control. We fed assured that
Geoigia «ui and will proetet all her
citizens of every race nud color, and if
unmolested by further reconstruction,
will do so at tar less coat and far more
efficiently than can be done by military
arm; therefore,
Resolved 1st, That the people of the
State are not responsible for tbe wrongs,
peculations and frauds which have
characterized tbe adminisiration of the
State government during the past three
years. They did not choose the men
who have been in power and who have
plundered, them of millions of dollars.
They are the victims of those meu, but
have never Geen their constituents.
Resolved 2d, That the weakness
and ignorance of some of the prosecut
ing and judicial officers of this State,
with the shocking abuse ofthe pardon
ing power, have been and still are the
piincijml causes of the disorders and
violation of law and order which have
brought so much reproach upon our
Moved State.
Rem! veil 3d, Thai in the opinion
of this body one. only, sure plan of re
storing peace and order in this State
is to place in positions of power and
way, he would think it wise to get rid
of their assistance as soon as possible. It
was almost impossible to act an inde
pendent part in the Senate now. These
three or four men, perhaps five, who
undertake to manage.the party call a
caucus on any man who is disposed to
be independent and threaten to read
him out. For one, lie would act up
to his convictions, and rrn the risk of
being read out. “ I don’t believe,”
said Loffiin, “ that the Presidentof the
United States fears investigation, but
you have made the country believe he
does. I don’t believe that the Secre
tary of the Treasury fears investiga
tion, but you have made the country
beheve that he does. 1 don’t believe
that any ol the Departments of the
Government fear investigation, but you
have made the country believe they
do. As to the organization of this
committee, it is peculiar that when the
Senate divided on this question of in
vestigating the public service, twenty-.
four Senators voted for the projM>.-itii n
and thirty-five against it; hut when it
comes to the appointment of ibis com- |
mittee, seven memliers of it arc taken
from the thirty-five and only one from
the twenty-four. Of course there was
no design'in this. [Laughter.] The
committee is composed of honorable
men, because Senators arc all honor
able men. [ Laughter.] But I fear
that the making up of the committee
in this way does not reflect much credit
upon us twaoty-four. n [Laughter.]
The committee nominated, with the
addition of Casserly, was elected. The
resolution of Trumbull, with the priv
ilege to send for persons , and papers,
was adopted. This is a triumph over
the ultra administration men.

U. S. Bandits K * la Italiana” in Union
County, (Jeorgia.
We received the following letter from
a getlemnn residing in Union county,
of undoubted veracity. We are bound
to believe the gentleman has written
what he knows to be the truth; but at
the same time there are always two
sides to every question. If the so-call
ed United States soldiers actually com
promised any of the cases for $10, we
can only say tlmt such proceedings
should be put a stop to immediately.
Are we a free people ? Oh! freedom,
what a boon. If these soldiers made
any legal arrests, why were the prison
ers not taken before the proper author
ities in Atlanta? We were under the
impression that our citizens have bet
ter discretion and bravery than to be
scared into such sacrifices of their
liberties. Perhaps on investigation,
these brave troops may turn out noth
ing more than a troop of bandits. We
hope so, lor the very name of soldiery;
if the latter theory is not correct, then
our impression is, that the military
are exciting us to protect ourselves so
that their paltry, mean, contemptible
election strategy can be carried out and
more Ku-Klux commission set on foot,
aud thus place unfortunate Georgia
under martial law. The North sym
pathizes warmly with Ireland and her
wrongs, but ordinary human justice is
not extended to Georgia. “Oh, con
sistency, what a jewel thou art!”
Blairsville, Ga m Nov. 30, 1871.
Our community waq Roused on last
Thursday night bv tKe sudden and un
expected appearantfc of tf squad of men,
who represented themcefces as belong
ing to the United States army, in the
upper portion of Choestoo District.
They proceeded, on their arrival, to
arrest and handcuff a number of our
best citizens, without procuring any
warrant or authority whatever—confin
ed them in a miserable place which
they have, established since they came
here-—which they are pleased to term
a prison, but use it for no other pur
pose than to extort hundreds of dollars
front onr peaceable and ]u\r-ubidin ,r
citizeus by threats and intimidations!
They refused to. allow* them eyen the
semblance of a trial, l*t forced them
to pay the enormus sum of $150 each,
in cash, or spend twelve months in pri
son. But how many men are there
in this country that can be found who
have the required amount? They
have two huudred and fifty names on
their list (so they say). Some of the
men could not pay the $150, but could
manage, by selling the last cow they
had, to j»y S10; iliis they rcudiiy ac
cepted, knowing as they did, that they
were going right eontarv to the laws,
and making plunder they tole object
They did not object to a small amount
They got something like $2,500 out of
that district But they will not pull
the wool over the eyes of any more of
oue people. We do not believe they
had any authority, and hope their acts
may be investigated.
